The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for attaching needles to sutures, such as for making armed sutures for surgical application, and more particularly, to methods of attaching surgical needles to sutures using a swaging process.
Various methods for swaging needles to sutures are known. Given a needle of a desired gauge, composition and shape, a hole is formed in one end. The hole extends axially into the needle to constitute a suture receptacle and may be formed by mechanical or laser drilling. The term "needle" as used herein is intended to refer to a surgical needle, such that the term "needle" is intended to be a short form of the term "surgical needle" and is synonymous therewith. Typically, the end of the needle having the suture receptacle could be generally described as being in the form of a hollow cylinder, the diameter of the interior hollow of the cylinder being greater than the outside diameter of the suture to be attached to the needle, providing a clearance for insertion of the suture. To attach the suture, a free end of a suture is slidably, axially inserted into the suture receptacle (hole) in the needle and held in that position while a swage die impinges upon the outer peripheral surface of the needle receptacle (the outer surface of the cylinder), collapsing some or all of the cylinder radially inwardly, such that the interior dimensions of the suture receptacle are reduced at some portion thereof. The reduced interior dimensions of the needle receptacle grasp the inserted suture end via mechanical interference and by surface contact (friction). Generally, suture material has some degree of deformability/malleability, but there are limits to same, which, when exceeded, lead to suture material failure. Similarly, there are limits (albeit generally less problematic) to the malleability/deformability/elasticity of needle materials. In swaging, it is desirable to preserve a smooth and continuous exterior needle surface in the area of the suture receptacle. Out of round conditions or sharp edges produced by swaging can increase the drag that the needle experiences when passing through the tissue being sutured, injure the tissue and/or unnecessarily enlarge the hole in the tissue made by the needle as it is passes through the tissue during use. Manufacturing artifacts that protrude from the surface of the needle in the swaging area, (such as "fins") sometimes occur when the swaging is conducted by a pair of dies which abut one another in the compressed position of a swaging operation. Sharp edges transverse to the axial direction are also sometimes produced by swaging processes at the transition from the uncompressed to the compressed/deformed swaged area of the needle. One approach that has been utilized to provide good suture attachment and smooth outer surfaces in the swaged area is multiple hit swaging, wherein a needle is subjected to swaging of controlled depth, but distributed over a larger area, viz., around the circumference of the needle. To achieve this type of swaging, the needle is rotated (repositioned relative to the swaging dies between multiple swaging compressions. In this manner, multiple angularly offset swaging operations (hits) are performed to attach a single needle to a single suture. While this produces good results, the apparatus used is more complex and expensive than single hit swaging apparatus and the process takes longer. Yet another approach is to use confined stake swaging, wherein the suture receptacle end of a needle to be swaged is inserted between a pair of mating holding dies which, when compressed together, define a substantially cylindrical cavity that grips the needle securely, but does not deform the needle, i.e., the holding dies do not swage the needle. After being gripped by the holding dies, a suture is inserted into the suture receptacle in the needle. One or more elongated swaging elements with one or more staking points (stakes or nibs) slidably extend through the holding dies in mating channel(s) provided therein. When the swaging operation is conducted, the stake(s) are driven into the needle and deform the receptacle end of the constrained needle, such that the needle grips the suture. The holding dies insure that the outer periphery of the needle is supported to allow the stakes to deform the needle in a very localized area without otherwise deforming the receptacle end of the needle. Two adjacent stake swages may be employed to produce two adjacent, inwardly extending dimples/indentations that protrude into the needle receptacle area to capture the suture between the dimples and interior surface of the suture receptacle to grip the suture therebetween. The result is a double stake swaged needle with a pair of indentations but no protrusions, out of round areas or sharp ledges formed as a consequence of swaging.
While double stake swaging produces good results, the process requires a high degree of precision, in particular when used to swage needles to monofilament sutures and to sutures that are made from materials that are sensitive to being pinched off or clipped by the inwardly converging dimples. For example polypropylene is less deformable/malleable than other suture materials, e.g., nylon and tends to be clipped off when subjected to excessive pinching pressure/shear forces. Precision in the formation of the needle diameter, needle hole (and resultant wall thickness), suture diameter, and depth of penetration of the stake swage dies all must be closely controlled to prevent excessive shear force on the suture, while insuring adequate force to provide secure attachment. The precise setup will typically vary for each type of suture/needle combination, requiring reconfiguration of the swaging apparatus for each different product run. During production, testing is used to insure that adequate needle pull-off strength is achieved. Since insuring effective attachment without compromising suture integrity adds significantly to the cost of armed suture production, it remains an objective to make the process easier, more efficient and effective.
The problems and disadvantages associated with conventional armed sutures and the apparatus and techniques utilized to manufacture them are overcome by the present invention, which includes a swaging apparatus driven by a swaging machine with a pair of actuating surfaces that selectively converge to exert pressure and diverge to release pressure on the swaging apparatus for attaching a needle to a suture. The needle has a suture receptacle at one end for receiving the suture, which is retained therein by swaging. The swaging apparatus includes a die assembly with a needle aperture, which slideably accommodates the needle. The die assembly has a plurality of a swage passageways therein communicating with the needle aperture and extending through the die assembly at a plurality of radial orientations relative to the needle aperture. A plurality of swaging elements are insertable into corresponding ones of the plurality of swage passageways, each of the swaging elements having an end with at least one stake. At least one of the stakes on a first swaging element is longitudinally offset relative to the stakes on the remainder of the plurality of swaging elements.
A method in accordance with the present invention for attaching a needle having a suture receptacle at one end to a suture, includes inserting the suture receptacle end of the needle into a die which surrounds the needle at the receptacle end and inserting a suture into the suture receptacle. The needle is then indented in the area of the suture receptacle, forming a first indentation at a first longitudinal position and a first radial orientation. The needle is also indented in the area of the suture receptacle to form a second indentation at a second longitudinal position and a second radial orientation. The first and second indentations are longitudinally and radially offset and deform the suture at at least some portion of its length to approximate a reverse curve.
An armed suture made in accordance with the present invention has a needle with a suture receptacle at one end and a suture retained in the suture receptacle by a plurality of indentations in the needle wall disposed around the suture receptacle. The plurality of indentations include a first indentation in the needle wall and a second indentation in the needle wall longitudinally and radially offset from all other indentations of said plurality of indentations.
The graph shown in
Variable Names Wire (needle) diameter - Wd Suture compression ratio over nib (stake) - CT Suture diameter - Sd Suture compression ratio between opposed, neighboring nibs (stakes) - Cb Hole diameter - Hd Ratio of Cb/CT - Ratio Nib (stake) radius - NR Angle between centerlines of neighboring, opposed nibs at compression - AC Initial length, centerline-to-centerline Angle between centerlines of neighboring, opposed between neighboring opposed nibs nibs (before compression) - AI (before compression) - LI Wall thickness - WT Lateral (x-direction) spacing between nibs - NS Suture compression ratio - C Length between centerlines of opposed, adjacent nibs in compressed state - LC
The following equations describe certain relationships between the foregoing variables.
Relationships Wall Thickness Compression over nib CT: = Sd*(1 − C) Compression between nibs Cb: = Ratio � CT Ns: = ((2 � NR + 2 � WT + Ratio � CT)2 − [2 � NR + 2 � WT + 2 � (Sd/2 − Sd + CT)]2)1/2 AI: = atan (NS/Wd + 2NR) LI: = [Ns 2 + (Wd + 2NR)2]1/2 AC: = atan [NS/(Wd + 2NR − 2(Hd − Sd + C � Sd))] LC: = [Ns 2 + (Wd + 2NR − 2 (Hd − Sd + C � Sd))2]1/2 Cb: = Lc − 2NR − 2 [(Wd − Hd)/2]
The following are examples to illustrate the use of the foregoing relationships to calculate selected values.
The present invention, by diminishing the levels of required precision and increasing the tolerances of production, diminishes wastage due to ineffective attachment procedures and increases quality of needle-to-suture attachment. By decreasing the criticality of manufacturing tolerances, it permits use of a common, single hit swaging process and apparatus to attach different types of needles and sutures, e.g., laser, EDM or mechanically drilled needles, fabricated from one or more of a variety of different alloys including ETHALLOY� 4310, 455, and 420 alloys (sold by Ethicon, Inc.), which may be annealed or non-annealed, to various types of sutures, such as braided, twisted, or monofilament sutures made from synthetic or natural materials. By utilizing a die which constrains the needle, 'bell-mouth' or 'fin' formation defects are eliminated and needle barrel outside diameter remains substantially uniform across the attachment region. The increased tolerances utilized in the set-up and use of the swaging apparatus of the present invention allows operators of every experience level to set-up batches quicker and more consistently when using the same swage die series for all attachment work. The increased tolerance also allow one set of dies to be used on a range of different suture sizes and suture receptacle diameters, eliminating a corresponding multiplicity of more specialized dies.

Their service was consistently excellent. Their services could be enhanced by finding a better network of supporting services (like handymen, stagers, closers, etc.).

Snails and Pastries From an Ambassador of Cretan Cuisine
Published: September 30, 1992
(Page 2 of 2)
1. Rinse the greens well and chop coarsely. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the greens. When water returns to a boil, drain the greens in a colander, pressing out excess moisture. Set aside.
2. Place the pork in a skillet, add the wine and bring to a boil. Add two tablespoons of the olive oil, the thyme and the oregano, bring to a boil again and simmer about 2 minutes, until the pork is cooked through.
3. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and stir in the greens. Cook, stirring, about 6 minutes, until the greens are tender and the pork is beginning to brown. Remove the greens and pork from the skillet, season with salt and pepper and mix in a bowl with the beaten eggs.
4. In a clean 12-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, heat the remaining oil over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, stir it gently for about 10 seconds, and then allow it to set on the bottom. Allow it to cook about 3 minutes until it begins to brown. Turn omelet over and cook 3 to 5 minutes until brown.
5. Transfer the omelet to a serving plate, and cut it into wedges.
Yield: 6 servings.
Approximate nutritional analysis per serving: 325 calories, 25 grams fat, 310 milligrams cholesterol, 125 milligrams sodium (before salting), 20 grams protein, 9 grams carbohydrate. Cretan Rabbit Stew Total time: 1 1/2 hours 1/2 cup olive oil 1 3-pound rabbit, cut into six large pieces (skinless chicken thighs may be substituted) Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 pounds small white onions, peeled 4 large cloves garlic, peeled 15 whole black peppercorns 10 whole allspice berries 4 bay leaves 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 cup dry red wine 1/3 cup red-wine vinegar 1 1/2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, quartered 1 orange, cut into eight wedges 3 tablespoons Italian parsley leaves.
1. Heat half the oil in a skillet or wok, add the rabbit, and saute over high heat until browned. Drain and place in a 5-to-6-quart heat-proof casserole. Season the rabbit with salt and pepper.
2. Add the onions to the skillet, and saute over medium high heat until they start to brown. Add the garlic, and continue to saute until the onions and garlic are well browned. Add the skillet's contents to the casserole.
3. Scatter the peppercorns, allspice, bay leaves and cumin in the casserole. Pour in the wine and the vinegar. Place the tomatoes on top, then the orange wedges. Pour remaining olive oil over the oranges. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer slowly about 45 minutes, until the rabbit and onions are tender.
4. Transfer to a serving platter, arranging the rabbit in the middle and surrounding it with onions. Reheat the sauce in the casserole and check seasonings. Add the parsley. Cook for a few minutes to reduce the sauce slightly, remove bay leaves and spoon some of the sauce over the rabbit and onions.
Yield: 6 servings.
Approximate nutritional analysis per serving: 430 calories, 25 grams fat, 75 milligrams cholesterol, 50 milligrams sodium (before salting), 30 grams protein, 25 grams carbohydrate. Phyllo With Fresh Cheese and Mint Total time: 1 1/2 hours 1 1/2 cups fresh mizithra cheese or whole-milk ricotta 1 large egg 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves 1/4 cup sugar Generous pinch of cinnamon 1/2 pound phyllo, defrosted and at room temperature 6 ounces sweet unsalted butter, melted and clarified 1/2 cup honey.
1. In a large bowl, combine the cheese, egg, mint, sugar and cinnamon.
2. Unroll the leaves of phyllo and slice the stack in half lengthwise. Put the two piles of pastry leaves together into a single stack.
3. Lift one leaf of the phyllo off the stack, place it on a work surface, and brush it lightly with the melted butter. Top with a second leaf of phyllo, brush the top lightly with butter, and fold the two leaves together lengthwise, forming a strip 2 to 3 inches wide. Place a tablespoon of the cheese filling at one end of the strip, then lift a corner of the strip over the filling until the point of the corner meets the opposite edge of the strip, making a diagonal fold at the bottom of the strip and a triangular enclosure for the filling. Continue folding the strip with the filling from corner to side as if you were folding a flag, until you reach the end of the strip. Place the filled triangle, seam side down, on a baking sheet and continue making filled pastries until all the filling and phyllo are used. There should be a little of the butter left.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
5. Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining butter and sprinkle them with a little water.
6. Place them in the oven and bake about 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden. Warm the honey in a saucepan while the pastries are baking.
7. Allow the pastries to cool about 10 minutes, transfer them to a serving platter, drizzle them with honey, and serve while still warm.
Yield: about 24 pastries, serving 8 to 12.
Approximate nutritional analysis per serving: 425 calories, 25 grams fat, 95 milligrams cholesterol, 50 milligrams sodium, 9 grams protein, 45 grams carbohydrate.

You know what's great? Time spent relaxing on your deck, reading a good book while enjoying a beautiful British Columbia sunset. Do you know what's not so great? Scrubbing a wood deck down each Spring to remove algae and moss - or even worse, replacing split boards. With an ultra low-maintenance vinyl deck from Schiller Floors Ltd, you'll be able to enjoy more of the things you love – and less of the things you don't.
Great Looking Decks – Year after Year
Because of vinyl's resilience against UV rays, you can expect your vinyl deck to look great year after year. And, you'll never have to spend consecutive weekends painting or re-painting your deck!
Foot-Friendly Decks
If you have young kids around, then you know how much they love going barefoot. Which, we highly recommend on our vinyl decks! Not only is the surface textured to provide the needed traction, it doesn't contain any exposed nails or fasteners that could cause harm to bare feet. The cost savings? Let's just say you won't have to be a Billy Barker to have a great vinyl deck.
Aluminum Railings from Schiller Floors in Quesnel
A blunder some homeowners make in selecting aluminum railings for their home is to only consider the functional aspect of the railing. After installation, they may be happy that they have a safety system, but not so happy with the appearance. At Schiller Floors, we have over 30 years of experience in helping homeowners select beautiful and functional aluminum railings. We'll not only give your home the safety it requires, but also an aesthetically-pleasing addition.
Call us today to learn more about our vinyl deck and aluminum railing products!

Horseradish's scientific name (or binomial name) is Armoracia Rusticana. It is a perennial plant from the Brassicaceae family, which includes wasabi, broccoli, mustard and cabbage. It is most commonly grown for its root and can grow as tall as five feet. The root itself has no smell, but when grated, enzymes from the plant break down a glucosinolate called sinigrin, which produce a type of mustard oil called allyl isothiocyanate. Once the root has been grated it must be used, or mixed in vinegar, in order for it to keep its zest. If it is left exposed to air and heat it will darken and become unpleasantly bitter.
Horseradish contains potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, as well as volatile oils, such as mustard oil (which has antibacterial properties due to the antibacterial mechanism of allyl isothiocyanate). Fresh, the plant contains average 79.31 mg of vitamin C per 100 g of raw horseradish.
*Horseradish Information Council – www.horseradish.org
Known to have diuretic properties, the roots have been used to treat various minor health problems, including urinary tract infections, bronchitis, sinus congestion, ingrowing toenails and coughs. Compounds found in horseradish have been found to kill some bacterial strains

Advanced Search
menu selection . Visualization and pre-planning are the keys to a smooth flowing and disaster-free evening. Begin buy selection a set of recipes with which you feel comfortable. When creating a complete menu, mix recipes that can be fixed in advance with those that need to be prepared or finished during the party.
A few days ahead of the dinner, spend a half hour during your commute to work (or whenever your mind tends to take a cat nap) and focus on the number of guests, the food, the cooking facilities, and the working space in which you will be cooking. Picture yourself preparing the dishes you intend to make and serving them in the manner you have chosen. If the act of visualizing the preceding steps causes butterflies in your stomach, select alternative recipes, simplify the menu, and/or plan to do more of the cooking in advance.
If you are a certified dinner party phobic attempting to overcome your anxieties, select a recipe that can be prepared earlier in the day, i.e., a curry, and serve it with a simple salad of baby greens. Buy a finger food and a dessert or, more simply still, ask two guests to bring them. In so doing, you can put the mental block of food preparation behind you and focus on the deep-rooted source of your phobia.
pre-production . It's not always possible, and never crucial, to prepare all of the food during the last 90 minutes before your guests arrive, or in their presence. Most of my recipes can be prepared, at least partially, one day in advance. The flavors of some foods, such as soups and curries, actually improve after sitting for a day. Other foods can be prepared in advance and frozen -- although I confess to having little experience in this area because the freezer section in my aesthetically pleasing fifties refrigerator functions exclusively as a frost factory.
The corollary to food improving with time is that some foods lose their zest if prepared too far in advance. Before serving any food, taste it. If necessary, "refresh" it with salt, pepper, lemon and/or a generous portion of the same herbs that were used originally to flavor the dish.
sizing the servings . Unless you have specifically asked how hungry individual guests are, it is desirable to make all portions equal. The first phase of portion control takes place when shopping for ingredients. Sometimes a little hardball may be required. For example, if you were to request twelve 1-inch-thick salmon steaks from your local fishmonger, he would probably cut them from a single salmon. Unfortunately, the cut from the middle of the fish can be twice as wide as the cuts nearest the head or tail. There's always almost another salmon "in the back" and you must stand your ground to get what you need. After all, you are the customer and, per the retail credo, that makes you always right.
To avoid running out of food, prepare a little extra -- even at the expense of having leftovers. When planning for casual parties where additional guests may drop by, or arrive in tow with your invited guests, it's always wise to prepare extra portions of the main dish. At least be sure to have lots of something i.e., salad, bread, veggies, etc.
If you are assembling plates for a seated affair, don't let any plate out of the kitchen until you are certain that you have enough of everything to complete the remaining dishes.
timing is everything . Having settled on a menu and decided which items to cook in advance, slide back into the visualization mode for a moment and imagine that it's 15 minutes before showtime. Will everything be ready at the same time? Are the garnishes prepped? Did you put the rise on?
Return to the present and create a "critical path" by establishing the sequence in which each dish needs to be started, refreshed or reheated. When in doubt, scribble out a running order and stick it on the refrigerator.
When showtime arrives, wait until the last minute to put the finishing touch on delicate foods. As a rule, begin steering your guests toward the dinner table before tossing the salad, adding shrimp to a sauce or steaming vegetables.
the accelerated assembly line . Assembling a large number of plates quickly is a challenge for professional chefs and amateurs alike. Before you begin, think about how you would like the food to look on the plate and how the colors, shapes and textures will interact. Create a blueprint in your mind and plan to assemble each plate identically. Then:
space oddity . Oven space, counter space and refrigerator space are valuable commodities when cooking for large groups -- and another reason to keep the menu simple. A shortage of counter space is the most common hindrance in a small kitchen. Sometimes a little ingenuity is required to convert dead space into a functional prepping area. Cover the sink with a cutting board, turn a cookie sheet upside down and place it over the stove's burners (heat off, please) and clear the decks of any appliances or items that are not required for the meal, i.e., the juicer, toaster, bread maker, coffee maker, coffee grinder, kettle, cookie jar, popcorn maker -- I think you get the picture.
the grill drill . The advent and popularity of propane gas grills has significantly reduced the inconvenience factor of grilling. If you are using propane, refill your tank before the party and/or keep a spare tank -- a party is a bad time to discover the gas gauge is broken.
I still swear by real hardwood charcoal (often available only in mesquite), which I believes provides the best grill flavor. This may stem from my difficulty in conceptualizing how petrified lava rocks can duplicate the smoky flavor of natural wood.
When grilling with real charcoal, light your coals 30 minutes in advance. Extra charcoal may be required to keep the fire burning, but it beats fighting to get the coals lit while you're famished dinner guests cheer you on. Never use starter fluids to light your coals. They make food taste like a gas rag, not to mention being one of the worst known air polluters. Use crumpled newspaper, ideally in combination with the very politically correct starter chimney.
Whether you have chosen gas or charcoal, beware that grilling for 6 to 12 people can require a surprisingly large area of grill space -- especially if you have chosen to accompany the entree with grilled veggies. Be prepared to grill your food in shifts, or borrow a second grill so that all of the food can be cooked at once.
help! i need somebody . Once your guest list hits the double digits, the sheer volume of people becomes an impediment to merely "winging it." In most cases, guests will be willing to lend a hand or even arrive early to help, though occasionally circumstances may make this inappropriate or undesirable. In these cases, you might consider outside help. Help comes in the following flavors: bartender, sous-chef or general kitchen assistance. Consult a friend who uses help, check the Yellow Pages or hire the kid next door.
Hiring one person to assist with the prep, cooking and cleanup can make the difference between enjoying yourself and feeling like the "help" at your own party.
if you can't stand the heat... . Throwing a dinner party is supposed to be one of life's little pleasures. But there is work involved. Hard work. Even the most enjoyable parties have their trying moments. Compose your own cooking mantra and repeat it to yourself with Buddhist fervor whenever the inevitable disaster rears its ugly head. Not only will this save you untold aggravation, but it will start you down the path toward an understanding of the true Zen of cooking.

The Hotline Miami Story
It's super violent, it's retro-looking, it has a badass soundtrack and a recently-released sequel, but when Hotline Miami first came out nobody knew these things right off the gate.
Three years later it's still one of the best indie games I've ever played (I recently played it again a few months back before the sequel came out) and an advocate for quality in games made out of basements, in Sweden of all places. If you feel the same way (and also if you don't) you should check out this short documentary by Complex.
Listen to 2 New Tracks from Hotline Miami 2's Soundtrack
The much anticipated Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, the sequel to 2012's retro fuck 'em-up, is coming out next year and its soundtrack is as if not more anticipated than the game itself, which is why Devolver Digital is giving both a very special treatment. (more…)

Mother dies in I-5 crash
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, December 21, 2005
A woman died in a traffic accident on Interstate 5 early Wednesday after the car she was riding in crashed and was hit by a van. The accident happened just past 1:30 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the freeway near South 200th Street, the Washington State Patrol reported.
A woman driving a Chrysler Sebring went off the road, hit a guardrail and came to a stop in the middle of the fast lane. A van carrying seven California National Guardsmen then slammed into the Chrysler.
A passenger in the Chrysler, 23-year-old Nichole Helene Cook of Seattle, died; the driver and two others in the car, including the dead woman's 10-month-old daughter, were injured. All guardsmen in the van were hurt, but none seriously, said Erin Benson, a spokeswoman at Fort Lewis.
The guardsmen had been training at the Army post and were heading home on leave for the holidays, she said.

Building Research To Offer More Scholarships
6 January 2005
Building Research To Offer More Scholarships And Awards To Students
A variety of scholarships are being offered to students of academic excellence seeking to enter the building and construction sector, under Building Research's newly-expanded 'Scholarships and Awards scheme.'
Chief executive of Building Research, the building and construction sector's leading research investment organisation, Dr Sunil Vather, says, "We propose to expand our existing scholarships and awards to offer prizes each year to leading students at a wide range of tertiary institutions with courses directly related to building and construction, and also to students pursuing business degrees involving research projects that address building and construction industry issues.
"The 'Scholarships and Awards scheme' is an important initiative to encourage students who have a record of excellence. They will learn invaluable skills relating to the building and construction sector, in effect creating better skilled workers for the future in New Zealand."
Building Research has since 2003 made $100,000 available annually for its Scholarship Awards. With the addition of two more Scholarships and Awards categories, Building Research will almost double the amount available.
Currently students can apply for up to $25,000 per year to undertake a Doctorate; $20,000 to complete a Masters degree; and $15,000 to study towards an Honours, Diploma or Certificate qualification.
Building Research now proposes to offer three scholarships of a maximum of $20,000 each annually to students undertaking building and construction related business degrees, as well as up to 35 grants of $500 or $1,000 to students in their final year of tertiary study in building and construction related disciplines.
Scholarship students are required to maintain contact with Building Research during the course of their research and there is an expectation that the research findings will result in a transfer of knowledge or technology benefit to the wider building and construction sector.
"Preference is given to shorter courses over longer ones, to enable more students to benefit from the available funding. Funding to any individual student is limited to a course of study of no more than three years and a further requirement is that the research undertaken is carried out in a New Zealand tertiary institution, except under exceptional circumstances," Dr Vather said.
Two further targeted Scholarships and Awards presently offered by Building Research are through the Chancellor's Awards at University of Auckland which consists of three year packages aimed at Pacific Island and Maori students entering university and pursuing building and construction oriented courses, and the Zonta/Bulding Research 'Women in Science' Award which is worth $75,000 over three years and is designed to encourage women to consider science as a career path and provide the winner with the means for further advancement to become a PhD student.
While the majority of scholarships offered have flexible closing dates, applications for the next Zonta/Building Research Award, close on 28 February 2006. More information on Building Research scholarships awards is available on: http://www.buildingresearch.org.nz/mainsite/scholarships.html

I feel like everything in my house is ready, it's clean, it's decorated, it's organized. But according to my husband, I won't be done nesting until the baby has arrived. So far, he's been right since every day he comes home from work I have another finished project to show off to him. My most recent project was the flower mobile that I hung above my changing table- I made them by twisting craft wire into a sphere and then glue gunning dollar store flowers onto them.

Picking an working class in North Hollywood for your youngster or for your self? How can you pick the proper acting class? What ought to be the requirements for success? Read on.
If you are a new comer to acting, picking an acting type - a great working school - may appear like a difficult task. However it doesn't have to be that way. You can find particular measures as possible follow to find the proper teacher. This type ecole de theatre paris of instructor can seamlessly get fresh talent and mold it into the amazing, refined, consummate monitor existence that it can be. Every thing merely boils down seriously to discovering the right environment and the right instructors.
Here are some methods:
1. Before you choose an working type in North Hollywood, it is required to discover whether the working college has produced functioning actors in the past. You have to attend a class that's churned out Broadway personalities, regular actors on TV and performers in major action pictures. In the end, if you fail to find functioning personalities who have been ex-students of this particular working school, then, you're wasting your time. If some of the students have gone on to win awards which are worth noting, then, therefore much the better. Nevertheless, locating this kind of working type in North Hollywood isn't super easy since such courses are several and far between.
2. You must learn perhaps the acting class in North Hollywood provides their students understanding of the functioning world. It's not enough if they just spit out personalities who thrive on period but can't manage the stress of the acting world. To make a decent living, actors should possess good administration skills. In the world of style, business self-confidence is just as important as working ability. All things considered, the aspiring actor has to get out into the planet and discover roles. Auditioning for functions is a task that will require an entire new ability set. The best instructors know precisely what the scholar needs to endure in the hard world out there and they will give it to the student.
3. It is similarly important that lead instructors in the college are available to students. Some schools sell their services in the title of popular educators who might be distinguished stars or actresses. But, these instructors might be unavailable to common students. This type of college is just a sham. You wish to be shown by these stars perhaps not gape at them after in a while.
4. Before you decide on the acting college in Hollywood, it's required to talk to the instructors. Ask essential issues concerning the working plan and discover what the institution is performing to provide the pupils a chance in the actual world.
Choosing the right working college in North Hollywood is a easy job knowing what you want from the school. Knowing that, you are able to glean the rest from brochures, online information and through direct interview.

The pros. I need to stay warm on a run. There's fabulous space-age clothing being made out of amazing fabric. I'm learning to embrace the new running technology of the past twenty years.
The cons. I don't wear tights. Errol Flynn wore tights. Baryshnikov wore tights..

I notice that the All Blacks are due to play an RU game at Soldiers Field, Chicago against the USA in November. I have no doubt that a big crowd will attend and that the All Blacks will clock up a big score. I also have no doubt that the event will be a huge success.
Soldiers Field is famous as, amongst other things, being the venue for the long count fight between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney in 1927. It's hallowed turf
Dempsey v Tunney 1927
In the 1970s and 1980s, it could be argued that the British Lions (RL version who existed long before RU and were much more successful) and the Kangaroos had a similar international profile to the All Blacks. Since then, the NZ RU have continually worked hard to promote the All Blacks and turned them into the internationally recognisable brand they are.
Meanwhile, the ARL have neglected the Kangaroos and concentrated on SoO. The Kangaroos, who used to be acknowledged as the best rugby team of either code, hardly ever get to play these days and when they do fixtures are usually arranged on an ad hoc basis with little notice.
They British Lions won a home series 3-0 against the Kiwis in 2007 but haven't played a match since then. In their wisdom, the RFL replaced the British Lions with England but to be fair, the RFL would like to send a British Lions team down under in 2015. They are still waiting to be invited but don't hold your breath!
It's such a shame. The British Lions and the Kangaroos could and should be high profile brands on a par with The All Blacks but the ARL seem to have other priorities. I don't really understand why because RL in both hemispheres was built on hard fought Ashes series with a history covering almost a century. The last Ashes series in 2003 was very close despite the 3-0 series result and future series could be very competitive with Graham, Burgess, Tomkins etc representing the Lions. Thousands of supporters would accompany them and we could stage a series of the sort of high profile events RL is crying out for. Over to you ARL

Earlier this week, NAM labor lobbyist Chris Tampio was interviewed on Justice Talking radio about "The State of the Unions." He was opposit Sharon Pinnock, of the American Federation of Government Employees.
If you're looking for some good facts on why labor unions in this country are shrinking, then you'll want to listen to this interview. Chris more than held his own by batting down such silly notions that cheap labor overseas is the reason why there should be an international labor movement to combat the exodus of American jobs.
Instead, as Chris noted, (and we have repeated many times in this space) its not the labor costs that are hurting manufacturers, its the Government which puts us at a 22% cost disadvantage. That, when you add up things like regulation, taxation, health care and energy it makes it difficult to compete. Well said, Chris.
Here's a link to listen to the streaming media version. Or take the interview "to go" with the PodCast version by clicking here.

Xingfu Dajie (1998)
Directed by Li ShaohongGenres - Drama | Sub-Genres - Family Drama | Run Time - 100 min. | Countries - China |
Share on
Synopsis by Bhob Stewart
Li Shaohong directed this Chinese drama about a working-class Beijing family. On a sidestreet by a railway line, Qi Hongguang (Song Dandan) awakens at 3am to go to her job at a meat-processing plant. She's married to factory foreman Liu Shijie (Wang Xueqi). His aged mother (Lu Wenzheng) lives with them, as does their tomboyish 16-year-old daughter, Mingming (Gao Jun). When Mingming's school requires her to take an army drill course, she develops a strong attraction to a young soldier (Liu Xingsheng), while her mom finds a few romantic sparks ignited by her former art teacher (Wang Bing). An immense shopping mall spells doom for Shijie's factory, but he keeps the news from his family. In sequences recalling The Full Monty, Shijie and his buddies secretly search for work, play cards, and hang out together in mutual support -- until one day Hongguang stumbles onto the secret. Shown at the 1998 East West Film Festival (London).

Limits for Soft MoneyBy Russell D. Feingold
Wednesday, March 19 1997; Page A19
First, Will seems to believe there is a "constitutional right" to make "soft money" contributions.
"Soft money" refers to unlimited campaign contributions from corporations, labor unions and wealthy individuals. Since 1907, campaign contributions from corporations to federal candidates have been outlawed. A similar ban on contributions from unions was enacted in 1943. In 1976 the Supreme Court said the size of individual contributions can be limited the current federal limit that the court upheld is $1,000 from an individual to a candidate per election. The court has said these kinds of restrictions on the source and size of contributions to candidates are permissible in order to protect our electoral system from corruption or the appearance of corruption. The court reached the logical conclusion that unrestricted contributions could undermine the integrity of our elections and our democracy.
Thus, under current law, soft money can not be given directly to a federal candidate. In recent years, however, both political parties began collecting soft money contributions and using them to benefit federal candidates. The McCain-Feingold legislation would shut down this soft money machine by imposing the same type of restrictions on contributions to national parties and campaign committees that are currently imposed upon federal candidates. Will's suggestion that closing the loopholes that have allowed soft money to make its way back into the system violates a "constitutional right" is ludicrous.
Second, Will suggests the McCain-Feingold legislation somehow runs afoul of the Constitution in the area of "express advoca\cy" or "independent expenditures" campaign activities paid for by groups other than candidates themselves. Yet Will acknowledges the court has already upheld laws regulating these activities. The legislation simply would mean that soft money can't be used to fund these activities and that the expenditures must be publicly disclosed so the voters will know who is paying for the barrage of campaign ads they endure every election season. It wouldn't prevent these activities.
Groups that want to engage in campaign activities designed to affect the outcome of an election are free to do so, but they must abide by the the same kinds of rules imposed directly upon the candidates and political parties. These rules apply equally to corporations, labor unions and other groups if they want to try to elect or defeat candidates, they have to use "hard" money, and they have to disclose what they are doing.
The McCain-Feingold legislation is designed to close loopholes in the system that have allowed a flood of special-interest money to infiltrate and undermine the integrity of our elections.
Contrary to Will's suggestion, the Constitution grants no right to buy an election or conceal from the voters who is paying for campaign ads.

Rangers have reacted furiously after Uefa launched a disciplinary case against their supporters for chanting at a recent home game against PSV Eindhoven. The fans' behaviour at the away leg was already under investigation.
Uefa's control and disciplinary body will discuss alleged sectarian chanting by Rangers supporters at Eindhoven at a hearing on 28 April. It has also been confirmed that singing at the Ibrox second leg of the Europa League last-16 tie will warrant a separate case.
Martin Bain, the Rangers chief executive, said: "We are absolutely astounded by this latest development and will defend our club's position very, very vigorously. We are still in the process of preparing our submission on the away game and to be confronted with this now seems chaotic to say the least."
Rangers' concern stems from a previous Uefa sanction regarding bigoted songs. In a statement, the club said: "If the new Uefa prosecution is successful the consequences for the club will be very punitive and will result in another heavy fine and the club playing two games behind closed doors at Ibrox next season."
Bain has sought to blame the Football Against Racism in Europe group, which Rangers believe has complained to Uefa about their supporters.
"We have never said that sectarian singing is not a problem but this now has all the hallmarks of a deliberate and targeted campaign against the club," he said. "What else are we expected to believe when Uefa officials give us favourable reports at our matches only to indict us later on the evidence of an outside, unaccountable body?
"We could not have done more to eradicate sectarian behaviour. We will be seeking urgent meetings with Uefa at the highest level. It would appear that yet again Uefa has acted on a report from the FARE organisation when their own match delegate, this time from Northern Ireland, gave us a very favourable report."

Road test: Audi's A5 coupe is elegant, sporty and economical
Okay, If you really insist on more power than you will ever actually need and seldom get to use, Audi does offer an S5, a structurally identical coupe with a thirsty 354-horsepower V-8 engine that gulps fuel at the rate of 14 to 24 miles per gallon depending on choice of manual or automatic shifter. Of course, while you are watching the gas gauge race to empty, you can also be racing from a stop to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
But, back to the subject at hand which, for anyone who really cares, is officially known as the 2011 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI quattro MT6 Coupe.
During my week with the manual-transmission car I had the opportunity to take it on a 300-mile round-trip from southern New Jersey to downtown Manhattan and on a couple of spirited runs around the rural roads inland from my barrier-island town of Avalon.
Tooling along the Garden State Parkway at speeds that could often be described as extra-legal, I was impressed most by the comfortable ride and the surprising 33-miles-per gallon returned by the smooth and quiet engine.
On the back roads, the A5 brought its sporting nature into focus with strong grip, mostly neutral handling, precise steering and strong brakes. Despite the all-wheel drive, there was nary a hint of understeer.
Toggling mostly between third and fourth gears, I was completely satisfied with the Audi's power output. Fuel mileage, however, dropped to 21 mpg.
Naturally, a premium car requires more than perky performance. It must make its passengers feel as if they are seated in the lap of luxury and the Audi comes complete with a whole host of comfort and convenience features.
Included in the base price of $37,375 (including delivery) are such standard features as sumptuous linen beige leather seating, automatic climate control, driver information system with trip computer, tilting glass panel roof with sun screen, 8-way power front seats and premium 10-speaker, 180-watt audio system,
Add another $8,000 and your A5 will include a navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free phone interface, 3-zone climate control, upgraded audio system, nutmeg laurel wood trim and Xenon-[plus headlights.
Any complaints? Although I don't agree, some critics feel the A5 could really use more power. Also, the low roof line may require driver and passengers to duck and access to those rear seats is awkward.
That's about it.
Obviously, a four-seat coupe, particularly one that can't be called inexpensive, isn't the car for everyone. But, those who fit in the A5 niche will be getting a gorgeous automobile that combines an upscale aura with a fun-to-drive demeanor and a surprising amount of fuel efficiency.

Studying the Bible: Psalm 19
I've lived in Atlanta for a little over 10 years, so I've adopted the Braves, the Hawks and the Falcons as my home teams. The Falcons lost yesterday *sad face*. Now it's time to dust off and move to more important things.
You Version has came up with a challenge to help motivate people read the bible on a more consistent basis. Since God's plan is one and only one, He had been prompting me to do a series of bible studies in the next few weeks. Coincidence, I don't think so. So the first scripture we will be reviewing is Psalm 19. It's a long psalm so for the next few postings we will be talking about this Scripture and how it has impacted me. Hopefully the Lord will speak to your heart as well.
Psalm 19:1-4
God's glory is on tour in the skies,
God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.
Madame Day holds classes every morning,
Professor Night lectures each evening.
Their words aren't heard,
their voices aren't recorded,
But their silence fills the earth:
unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.
I am a night person. That has been my excuse to not get up in the morning and spend time with the Lord as soon as I wake up. After I learned the principle of first (meaning that in all we have to place God first), and after my pastor made the comment in church, " Stop saying that you are not a morning person. If you have a job and get up in the morning to go to work, guess what you are a morning person"; I ran out of excuses. I had to give God my first hours of the day.
It was hard at the beginning getting up earlier than usual to make sure that I could have that time with the Lord. Now that I've learned the benefits of it, I wouldn't have it any other way. During my times with God I get prepared for the day I'm about to face. During my evening times I can relinquish all the events of the day and learn how to manage things better the next day. Just like the scripture says, "classes every morning and lectures each evening" But for that I have to allow my time of silence because God speaks in a still voice and does not compete with the loud noises of the world.
Until our next time, be blessed.
Note: I encourage you to follow the You Version challenge. The challenge is to read the bible for 21 days in a row and enter into a giveaway. I provided the link for you to check it out.
Now, you can never read enough of the Word of God, but if you follow our study as well and enter a comment in any of our blogs starting today until February 2nd your name will be place in a hat to win a copy of my devotional "Growth Lessons". I will announce the winner on February 4th 2013. Let's enjoy this journey of learning the Word of God together.
In Growth Lessons, I was reminded of this beautiful truth: Our walk with the Lord is a process of growing up into the image of Christ. P. Yates
I would recommend this book for anyone who would like some common sense and light added to their life. C. Cunningham
Great for meditations and daily devotions. N. Thames
