Sailrocket 2 punching through 54 knots
by Paul Larsen on 20 Oct 2011
VESTAS Sailrocket 2 in action Vestas Sailrocket - copyright
Vestas Sailrocket 2 and her intrepid crew continue their quest to set the outright world speed sailing record, in Walvis Bay Namibia.
Paul Larsen:
Hi all, just a quick one to say that we have punched through 54 knots, 62 mph and 100 kmh. The fun part is that we did it two up and Vestas Sailrocket 2 was far from optimally trimmed.
It was a wild ride. The day was quite unsettled but I decided to make the most of it and take Adam from Wired USA for a shot in the back seat. We have never sailed two up before. VSR2 struggled to get started but once she found her feet... WHOOSKA!
It was a crazy ride that took me...well... I'll do the full update tomorrow. I just saw the photos and they are wild. Adam had the ride of his life. In 1 ride he's been as fast as I've ever been.
This boat will do the business. It WILL beat the current world record. I know that now. The question is how much we can get out of it.
Triple rum and cokes in a pint glass are the drinks for a new best speed.
So where are we with the new foil? I don't know... all I know is that it's fast. There is so much to tell about that last full-on run.
Update to follow... everyone is sitting here madly downloading data, HD video footage and photo's... and slurping on rum. We are still sailors remember.
Cheers, Paul.
Back to the 50 knot lab... Wed, 19 Oct 11 11:54
Today is shaping up nicely as we climb into our Musto drysuits and prepare to launch Vestas Sailrocket 2 one more time. The skies and seas are crystal clear and the wind is already gusting over 20 knots as it swings into the SW where it will lock in to it's normal 105 degree TWA to the course.
Nick is flying back in from the UK but will arrive a bit late, Dave is flying out and just said his goodbyes... and Wally has been sub'd in to help out. Wally takes his work very seriously. He told us he got a sweater for his birthday... but he prefers screamers! Hurry up Nick;)
The idea for today is to do a repeat of the previous days sailing and simply collect more data points. I will also try to sail some slightly different courses to the wind to see how the foil responds under different loads... and to see how accurately the onboard wind data can record these subtle differences.
If all goes well I hope to be able to take a passenger for a ride for the first time.
Hopefully we will get some top end conditions around 25-30 to see how the boat goes then. We may be very close to a 'tipping point' for this foil where a whole new speed range will open up. It's hard to know for sure where we are at right now which is why the 'brains trust' want more solid evidence.
We have also been advised to bring the high speed sheeting angle in by 3 degrees to 7.
So back to the lab. Gotta go now.
Let's see what happens.
Cheers, Paul.

It soon becomes obvious that this treecat clan is far more leery of the humans than other treecats and Stephanie is forced to call in "reinforcements" - her friends from the hang-glider club - while Lionheart tries to reason with the clan.

A great grocery service for your Disney vacation.
I couldn't believe how nice the people on the phone were when i had to make a change to my order. I never used the service before & found it so easy to use. The delivery went exactly as scheduled. I will definitely use the service and recommend to everyone especially if you are going to disney or universal.
We found the Garden Grocer via Google Chrome. We needed groceries for our trip to Disney this year due to my husbands injury. They were able to accommodate dietary needs and to answer all of our questions. I found them to be a very reliable, reputable company. I have recommended them to other family members and will be using them when I come to Florida this November.

Contender Inlands at Rutland SC
by British Contender Association on 6 Nov 2012
UK Contender
Despite the forecast, twenty nine Contenders descended on Rutland Sailing Club over the weekend of the 3rd-4th November for their Inland Championship, the last event of the 2012 Contender Travellers Trophy.
The first race started promptly in ten knots with Holden the younger taking the honors dispelling the rumor that he is just a heavy weather sailor. He was followed home by the usual suspects: Nick Grace, Matt Aston and Holden the elder in that order.
Race two was a similar affair but this time Stuart Jones showed awesome speed and sailed away from the fleet to win by a comfortable margin from Holden the elder. Peter Dives slipped through on the last beat to take third closely followed by Chris Boshier and Dan Taylor.
In the final race of the day Holden the elder was leading when, to his delight, the race was shortened. The breeze was dropping and the sun setting so a wise decision on the part of the race officer. He was followed over the line by Tom Hooton, Miles Blewett (his best ever result) and Holden the younger.
So at the end of the first day the Holdens locked out the front row of the grid with the elder on seven, the younger on 12, 'Mr. Consistency' Dan Taylor with three fifths and then Stuart Jones, Peter Dives, Nick Grace and Matt Aston all tied on 18 points. All to play for on Sunday!
Arriving at the Club on Sunday morning the weather was as forecast: four degrees, eight knots and drizzle which later developed into steady rain. A perfect day to finish the series!
Again a prompt start. The wind was forecast to go left which it did and Peter Dives lead the boats in from the left hand side of the course and held the lead to the finish followed over the line by Jerry Hone and Tony Brooks who had swapped places several times during the race. Stuart Jones was forth followed by Jon Hill, back in Contenders again after a gap of 15 years. The Holdens could only manage to make the teens and Dan Taylor was back in 21st setting up the points for the final race shootout.
A bit more breeze for the last race and by now the rain was steady. Mike Murley grabbed the lead and doggedly defended it as only Mike can. Holden the elder was second which was good enough to win the Championship. Nick Grace finished third again to claim fifth place overall. The ever consistent Stuart Jones finished fourth to claim the runner's up spot and to win the 2012 Travellers Trophy and Holden the younger was fifth to claim the final place on the podium. Peter Dives, after an incident at the first mark, headed for the hot showers leaving the rest to slog it out, finishing fourth overall.
Our thanks go to Rutland Sailing Club for hosting the event and turning the races around so promptly which was greatly appreciated on a cold November day.

What was feared to be a shooting between individuals in two vehicles in Waukesha turned out to be high school students filming an action movie for a class project last week.
Police were called after a caller observed a high-school-aged student in one vehicle pull out a gun and point it at the car next to him at 5:09 p.m. March 25 at 2926 River Valley Road.
The caller said it appeared the boy was pretending to be shooting and reported the two vehicles are driving around with a kid on the hood of one of the vehicles.
When police arrived, they did not find a crime scene.
Instead, police realized the three high school students were shooting a dramatic action movie for a school project and were trying to film some action scenes with a prop gun.
They were advised to film in a remote location so the public isn't nervous over the prop guns.

All aspects of our human personality are cultured through the process of Yoga helping us evolve towards perfection until we reach the state of being ONE with the Divine Self. Yoga helps destroy the kleshas, the psychological afflictions that warp our vision, as well as it eradicates the karma bandha that prevents us from realizing our potential Divinity. Maharishi Patanjali has given us a clear road map for this evolutionary journey and has given us vital clues towards understanding both the internal and external culturing processes of Yoga. The cultural teachings of Yoga that spring forth from the antiquity of Indian culture help us in becoming "All One" by loosing our sense of individuality to gain an unparalleled sense of wholesome universality.

When is it best to use the king's Indian defense. Are the certain openings where is most effective? Whenever I use it, I end up trapping my bishop.
you should re-check your theory if you trap your bishop
Well the issue, as pfren says in one word is that its not the openings fault; its yours.
Dont blame the opening for your middlegame mistakes.
Thanks topj for your suggestion. I will look into the theory behind the kings Indian defense.

April 29, 2014
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Head Coach Brian Gimmillaro announced two additions to the Long Beach State women's volleyball team for the 2014 season. Anete Brinke and Sophie Bukovec will join the 49ers in the fall.
Both Brinke and Bukovec come to the Beach as already accomplished players on the hardwood and in the sand for their respective countries. Bukovec has competed for Canada in five junior world sand championships and has been with Canada's national team for two years. Brinke has competed on Latvia's junior national team since 2010.
Bukovec played one year at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada and led her team to an OUA Championship. It was just the second OUA title in school history. She averaged 3.15 kills per set and 2.22 dig per set while serving up 20 aces. At the end of the season, she was named the OUA Final Four's MVP.
"Sophie is an experienced indoor and outdoor player," commented Gimmillaro. "She is an outside hitter, who had a good first college season. She'll come in and help us right away. She is a skilled six rotation player."
Brinke has a wealth of international experience on the sand and on the hardwood in representing Latvia. She was selected as the one of the MVPs of the Latvian Championship in 2014.
"Anete can play in the middle or on the right side. I believe she will help us this season in either position. She also has extensive experience in the sand," said Gimmillaro.
"I believe both Anete and Sophie will contribute to the success of the team next year."
Gimmillaro will head into his 30th season as head coach of the women's volleyball program at Long Beach State next season. The 2014 schedule will be released later in the spring.

Gino has done many of my tattoos, including 3 larger pieces. The finished product is always amazing. I've seen lots of his other work- people walk in with an idea & he makes it happen. Gino sees things that we don't, a true artist. I have sent many of my friends to him and they are all happy & satisfied..
I went yesterday and got my first piercing ever! I am so in love with it! They were very polite, they explained everything to me. They were clean, and very professional. I would recommend this place to anybody that at least wanted a piercing!

Farmer's Lung Workup
- Author: Laurianne G Wild, MD, FAAAAI, FACAAI; Chief Editor: Zab Mosenifar, MD, FACP, FCCP more...
Laboratory Studies
No single diagnostic or clinical laboratory study is specific to the diagnosis of farmer's lung. The most important diagnostic tool is a detailed environmental history. Note the following:
Leukocytosis with neutrophilia (but not eosinophilia) and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein level, and quantitative immunoglobulin level are noted.
Precipitating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies confirms past exposure but does not indicate active disease.
Precipitating antibodies are present in up to 50% of asymptomatic farmers exposed to the antigen. [14]
In farmer's lung, negative precipitin results have been reported because of a lack of appropriate antigen selection in serologic commercial testing.
Laboratories must select antigens based on knowledge of local climate and agricultural practices rather than reliance on commercially available antigen panels.
Imaging Studies
Chest radiography
Findings are normal between acute attacks. Findings are abnormal during acute and subacute stages of disease.
Diffuse air-space consolidation is typical of acute farmer's lung (with acute antigen exposure). Nodular or reticulonodular pattern is characteristic of the subacute phase. Linear radiodensities may be discovered and indicate areas of fibrosis from previous attacks.
Pulmonary apices are often spared on plain chest radiography.
High-resolution computed tomography
High resolution CT scanning is a superior diagnostic modality compared with plain radiography. A normal finding on high-resolution CT scans eliminates the possibility of active acute or chronic farmer's lung.
Pulmonary fibrosis with honeycombing is observed in chronic disease. Peri-bronchovascular distribution of nodules with ground-glass attenuation may be observed.
Other Tests
Pulmonary function tests
Spirometry findings may be normal between attacks and before the development of chronic disease. Acute, subacute, and chronic forms of farmer's lung have a restrictive ventilatory pattern with reduced forced vital capacity (FVC), reduced total lung capacity (TLC), and preserved airflow.
Mild-to-severe hypoxemia at rest or during minimal exercise may be present with active disease. Decreased diffusion capacity is present with active disease.
Bronchoscopy is useful to exclude other disease processes in the acute setting and to obtain bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples for cell counts.
Transbronchial biopsy may show evidence of peri-bronchovascular granuloma formation supporting the diagnosis, but its yield is limited because of sampling size.
Open lung biopsy
Consider this procedure if noninvasive tests are equivocal or inconclusive.
Consider this procedure if the patient's presentation is atypical in the presence of significant clinical evidence for the disease.
Histologic Findings
Chronic interstitial inflammation is present with infiltration of plasma cells, mast cells, histiocytes, and lymphocytes. Small and poorly organized nonnecrotizing granulomas are present, usually adjacent to bronchioles. Interstitial fibrosis is often present in chronic disease. Changes consistent with bronchiolitis obliterans may be evident. Guidelines for diagnosis of farmer's lung are as follows:
Major criteria
- Symptoms compatible with hypersensitivity pneumonitis
- Evidence of exposure to appropriate antigen by history or detection of antigen-specific antibody in serum and/or BAL fluid
- Characteristic radiographic changes on plain radiographs or high-resolution CT scans
- Bronchoalveolar lymphocytes (if BAL was performed)
- Pulmonary histological changes compatible with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (if lung biopsy was performed)
- Positive natural challenge findings (reproduction of symptoms and laboratory abnormalities after exposure to the probable environment)
Minor criteria
- Presence of bibasilar rales
- Decreased diffusion capacity
- Arterial hypoxemia either at rest or during exercise

Good Morning!
Last week, I decided it was time to get back on track and remove dairy from my diet again. I have a serious problem with cheese, though. So, when I'm taking a step back into a paleo lifestyle, I lean on goat cheese quite a bit to help me get that fix I need, without the dairy! I was inspired by a recipe I saw on Food and Wine for a vegetarian casserole and decided to try one, but, of course I added a little to it… GOAT CHEESE. This vegetable casserole with goat cheese is, purely, wonderful. My husband loved it and so did my little boy! He gobbled it up! The hardest part about this recipe is the prep. To cut down on prep time, I purchased the pre-cut bell peppers and onions from Whole Foods since I didn't have much time on my hands. This vegetable casserole with goat cheese is vegetarian-friendly and gluten free! I made it with potatoes, so if you want to be truly paleo [instead of paleo-ish] replace the potatoes with butternut squash and sweet potatoes. NOM NOM.

The tableside, fresh guacamole preparation is really good. Our meals were all very good and we like to come here virtually every time we visit Branson. It's a nice Mexican restaurant with good service and consistently good food.
Friends for lunch, very hot day on the landing. We arrived about 12:30, didn't have to wait for a table, big plus! Wait staff efficient and friendly, Chips and Salsa brought to the table were divine. One mild but flavorful, the other spicy. Don't try it until your drinks arrive. If you have the avocado dip, they make it at... More
This is one of our favorite go-to restaurants at Branson Landing! We always have wonderful service while there. Husband ordered the Carne Asada steak and it melted in our mouths...such wonderful seasoning and cooked perfectly. We always enjoy the tableside guacamole and it didn't disappoint! The chili con queso is okay - I prefer the guacamole though.
It took us 2 tries to get a table. The 2nd we scored bar seats which made the near hour wait almost enjoyable. The margaritas here are all handmade - no mix and no sugar. Fresh lime, premium liquor and agave nectar makes for some decadent cocktails. The chips are made fresh in house, guacamole made at your table and... More
My husband and I both loved our meals. Service was great! There was close to an hour wait, but lots of shopping nearby.
Were there with the grand kids for dinner they had kids cheese Quesadillas $7.99 ea. we beef Enchiladas $10.99 ea. the beer was $8.29 a little on the pricey side for what you get. This place is not easy to get to, being on the river walk.
Really weak margaritas and so so food. Will not be back. Taco Bell could have done better at 10% the price. A waste of money.
The food was amazing and the margaritas were good and strong! Great views and lovely dinner with my husband.
We went to the Branson Landing area to catch a rock band play as part of the summer concert series. We appreciated Cantina Laredo's central location looking down onto Lake Tanneycomo.

Neenah, Wis., assignors to Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Neenah, Wis, a corporation of Delaware Filed Mar. 31, 1958, Ser. No. 725,108 3 Claims. (Cl. 19-447) This invention relates to apparatus for the production of an improved sanitary napkin. More particularly, it relates to a machine for the manufacture of sanitary napkins of the type having an absorbent main body portion, which may include a number of absorbent plies and other elements, supported by a surounding soft wrapper for attachment of the napkin to the wearer.
In the conventional form of sanitary napkin, the wrap per extends substantially beyond the ends of the main body portion of the napkin, these extending ends of the wrapper being collapsed into essentially flat shape at the time of manufacture. For certain applications, it has been found desirable that these wrapper extensions be tapered inwardly from the side margins of the napkin, particularly to provide a more attractive appearance and an increase in number of wrapper plies at the point where attachment of the wrapper is made to a belt or other device for retention of the napkin in its position of use. It is highly desirable that this tapering of the extended ends of the wrapper be accomplished in the most attractive and sanitary manner possible, particularly since the item is a sanitary product in which neatness and cleanliness of appearance is both esthetically and practicably essential. Also, in order that the napkins may be made available to the broad range of potential consumers, manufacturing equipment and operations must be maintained on a simple and economical plane.
Accordingly, it is the purpose of this invention to provide a simple and economical apparatus for the manufacture of sanitary napkins presenting to the highest possible degree a neat and sanitary appearance and strength of construction. The particular objects and advantages of the invention will be clear from the following description and appended drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view, partially cut away, of a conventional sanitary napkin,
FIGURE 2 is a perspective View, partially cut away, of a preferred form of the invention,
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view, partially cut away, taken along the line 33 of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of FIGURE 2,
FIGURE 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line 55 of FIGURE 2,
FIGURE 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line 66 of FIGURE 2,
FIGURE 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view, partially cut away, taken along the line 7--7 of FIGURE 2,
FIGURE 8 is a reduced cross-sectional view, similar to FIGURE 7, but showing an initial stage in the formation of the tapered napkin ends,
FIGURE 9 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG- URE 8, showing a further stage in the formation of the tapered napkin ends,
FIGURE 10a is a perspective view similar to FIG- URE 2, but with most of the machine elements cut away, showing the successive operations of the machine upon the product,
FIGURE 10b is a perspective .view, partially cut away, of the mandrel forming a par-t of the invention,
FIGURE 11 is a cross-sectional view, partially cut away, of the preferred form of the invention, taken along the line 11--11 of FIGURE 2, and
FIGURES 12a, 12b and 12c are schematic top views of particular tapered napkin end configurations which can conveniently be produced by this invention, and of the corresponding apparatus.
Referring first to FIGURE 1, it is seen that the conventional asnitary napkin includes a main absorbent body portion 11, which may include two or more plies, such as 12 and 13, and other conventional elements, including central and side baflles, side strips and the like not shown, held together by a surrounding soft wrapper 14. Wrapper 14 has end portions '15 and 16 extending beyond the endsof body portion 11, by which the napkin may be pinned or otherwise attached to a sanitary belt or the like for positioning on the body of the wearer. It will be observed that wrapper extensions 15 and 16 are merely pressed into a flat condition, with result that they have a lateral dimension somewhat greater than that of the napkin or body portion 11 about which wrapper 14 is closely wrapped, and extensions 15 and 16 are of but two-ply thickness except in the area of the overlapping seam 17 of the wrapper. I
Particular strength and neatness characteristics, especially desirable in certain applications, will result if the lateral margins 18 of extensions 15 and 16 are pleated inwardly at least so that the lateral dimensions of the extensions will not exceed that of the main body portion of the napkin. Of course, the degree of pleating or infolding of these lateral margins of extensions 15 and 16 can be varied within a wide range to provide the desired appearance.
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the main elements of a machine incorporating the present invention for the enclosing of the main body portion 11 of the succession of sanitary napkins in a wrapper supplied from a continuous roll 19 of wrapper material 20.
The apparatus includes vertical and horizontal main frame members 21 and 22 upon which various operating elements of the apparatus are mounted. Operating elements fixed on the frame include a presser foot 23, wrap-' per plows 24 and 25, guide rails 26 and 27, and upper mandrel 28. Also mounted on frame 22 is a pair of opposed eccentric pleating wheels 29, which act to pleat the extended ends of the wrapper 14 in a manner to be described in detail later herein. A conveyor belt 30, to assist in passage of the material through the apparatus, is mounted on a series of driving and idler rolls 35, 36, 37 and 38 (see also FIGURE 11), and may be driven by any conventional means not here disclosed. Eccentric presser rolls 39, only one of which is shown in FIGURE 2, are mounted for rotation immediately beyond wheels Referring also to FIGURES 10a, 10b and 11, the apparatus includes a forming tongue or mandrel 40, preferably having an enlarged end 41, which at its leftward end as seen in FIGURE 2 is fixedly mounted in any conventional manner not shown here in detail.
With particular reference to FIGURES 2, 10a and 11, the method of operation of the apparatus will now be described. Wrapper material 20 is continuously fed from a roll 19 thereof onto the main frame member 22 of the machine, the wrapper material passing between mandrel 40 and frame member 22. As the wrapper material proceeds through the machine a succession of napkin main body portions 11 is fed onto the wrapper, thebody portions 11 overlying relatively narrow mandrel 40 with substantial side margins extending beyond the side edges of the mandrel and lying in immediate contact with wrapper material 20. The contact between the napkin body portion and the wrapper material is sufiicient so that the material will carry the body portion through the machine, initiation of this contact being assured by presser foot 23 which firmly presses successve body portions 11 into engagement with wrapper material 20.
As the wrapper material and body portions spaced thereon pass beyond presser foot 23, the side marginal portions a and 20b of the material are successively engaged by plows 24 and 25, which fold first marginal portion 20a and then the opposite marginal portion 20b over the upper surface of successive body portions 11. Of course, in the space between adjacent body portions 11 this folding operation results in a hollow tube of wrapper material. Details of this plowing or folding action are disclosed in FIGURES 3 and 4, where the relationship of the various elements previously noted is more clearly indicated, particularly the overlapping of marginal portions 20a and 20b of the wrapper, the position of mandrel 40 between body portion 11 and the bottom portion 20c of wrapper 20, and the location of wrapper portion 200 between mandrel 40 and the conveyor belt 30.
As the wrapper, with successive napkin body portions 11 spacedly carried therein is conveyed beyond plows 24 and 25 by belt 30, side rails 26 and 27 engage the respective side edges 20d and 202 (see also FIGURE 6) of the tube of material 20 which has been formed, to maintain the conformation established by the plows 24 and 25. An auxiliary mandrel 28 is positioned beyond the plows, and is adapted to ride between marginal portions 20a and 20b of the wrapper, with the extended edge 28a of the mandrel positioned immediately adjacent side edge 20d to provide a supporting action to be described in detail later herein. Eccentric pleating wheels 25 are mounted immediately beyond auxiliary mandrel 28.
Referring particularly to FIGURES 2, 7, 8 and 9, each of wheels 29 includes a relatively sharp-edged cam-like portion 45 extending beyond only a portion of the circumference of the main body of the wheel, to provide the eccentricity. Wheels 29 are mounted upon shafts 46 which are powered by conventional means not shown to provide counter rotation of the two wheels. As will be clear from FIGURE 2, the wheels 29 rotate so that adjacent the material passing the apparatus the linear velocity of the wheels is in the same direction as the travel of the material and at approximately the same speed.
The main bodies of wheels 29 are spaced apart by a distance at least equal to the width of the tube of material 20 as it passes between the wheels, while the eccentric cam portions 45 reduce this spacing to a predetermined degree in accordance with the requirements to achieve the desired degree of pleating. Eccentric portions 45 are spaced above frame 22 by a distance which provides for their engagement with the tube of material along a predetermined line which is preferably equidistant between the top and bottom surfaces of the tube.
FIGURE 7, as will be clear from reference to FIGURE 2, indicates the position of wheels 29 as a particular napkin body 11a is just completing passage between the wheels. At this point, wheels 29, being precisely timed and indexed to passing of the material through the apparatus, are ready to initiate a pleating operation upon the tube of material 20 between body portion 11a and the next succeeding body portion.
FIGURE 8 shows an initial step in the pleating operation, the pleating portions 45 of wheels 29 having just engaged the respective adjacent edge portions 26d and 20a of the wrapper to commence the pleating of those edges intermediate napkin body portions Ila and the next succeeding body portion 11!) (see also FIGURES 10a and 11). FIGURE 9 shows a further step in the pleating operation, at or near the maximum extent of pleating by cams or wheel portions 45.
With reference also to FIGURE 10b, it will be observed that at the stations shown in FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 mandrel is quite narrow, so that only to a small extent does it eliminate the contact between napkin body portions 11 and bottom surface 200 of the wrapper material, which contact is essential to conveyance of the body portions through the apparatus. However, as is clear from FIG- URE 6, as the material approaches the pleating station, mandrel 40 becomes wider, and at the pleating station as shown in FIGURE 7 the mandrel has an enlarged portion 41 which FIGURE 9 shows to be of width substantially equal to the pleated width of the tube of material 20 between successive napkin body portions. Immediately beyond the pleating station, mandrel 4t) terminates.
Mandrels 28 and 49 function to guide and conform the tube of napkin material 20 during the pleating operation so that a uniform and neat appearing pleated napkin wrapper extension, of predetermined dimensions, is achieved. Mandrel 40, at enlarged portion 41, is of a width coordinated with the dimensions of cam portions 45 so that at the maximum pleating stage the lower portion of the pleated tube essentially is formed around the mandrel. Mandrel 28, which terminates at a point ahead of the pleating station, serves to control the pleating of the upper half of the tube of material 20, by the engagement of free edge 23a of the mandrel with the side edge 20d of the tube of material. While there is not shown means corresponding to mandrel 23 to control the upper portion of the side edge 20:: of the material during the pleating operation, such means conveniently may be incorporated, such as by reverse extension from the edge 25a of mandrel 28.
Referring also to FIGURE 11, immediately beyond wheels 29 is a pair of opposed presser rolls 39 rotatably mounted on driven shafts 50 for counter rotation in the direction indicated. As seen best in FIGURE 11, rolls 39 have opposed cam surfaces, the reduced-radii portions 51 corresponding to the length of the napkin body portions 11, and the raised cam surfaces 52 corresponding to the spacing between successive napkin bodies. The space between the reduced-radii portions 51 of the roller surfaces, when they are in proximity to each other, is at least equal to the thickness of the wrapper material and enclosed napkin bodies passing therebetween. When the raised cam portions 52 of roller 39 are in proximity to each other the space between the rollers is reduced so that they have a pressing action on the wrapper material 20. The result is that the wrapper material between successive body portions, immediately after being pleated, is pressed in the pleated condition. Rollers 39 are rotated in timed relationship to the passage of the material through the apparatus by conventional means not shown here, and preferably the pressing cam surfaces 52 of the rollers are heated to improve the pressing action.
Beyond the pressing station just described there may be located a cut-off station, such as at 53 (see FIGURES 10a and 11), whereat the tube of material 20 with spaced napkin bodies 11 therein is by conventional means cut or divided into separate and individual sanitary napkins.
FIGURES 12a, 12b and illustrate pleating wheels 29a, 29b and 290 particularly designed to provide various and specific pleating shapes on the wrapper extensions, the mandrels 40a, 40b and 400 designed to cooperate therewith, and the configuration of pleated napkin wrapper extensions resulting therefrom. It will be obvious that a wide variety of wrapper extension configurations, as desired, may be obtained by suitable modification of the pleating wheels or equivalent pleating tongues or the like and mandrel 40 (particularly mandrel end 41), in accordance with the teaching set forth above. Also, different spacings between successive napkin body portions, and various lengths, widths and thicknesses of napkin body portions may be accounted for by obvious modifications and adjustments of the pleating wheels 29, mandrels 28 and 40, and presser rolls 49.
As previously noted, conveyor belt 30, the napkin body supply mean (not shown), pleating wheels 29, presser rolls 39, and cut-off means as at 53 (not shown), are by conventional means operated in timed relationship to provide the successive operations in the desired sequence. Conveyance of the material through the apparatus, partly accomplished by conveyor belt 30, may be assisted by additional conventional means located beyond presser rolls 3?, such as proposed rollers located ahead of cutoff station 5'3, additional conveying belts, or the like. Pleating wheels 29 and presser rolls 39 should be located in the closest practicable proximity to each other, to reduce the possibility of relaxation of the pleated wrapper material 20 prior to the pressing operation which substantially permanently presses the pleats into the material. Wraper material 20 may have a thermoplastic or other adhesive incorporated in or applied to it, which will assure maintenance of the pleated condition of the napkin wrapper extensions and of the Wrapper seam 17. This may be accomplished with particular convenience by the spot application of a thermoplastic adhesive to the wrapper, which is adhesively actuated by heated presser rolls 39. While of course mandrel portion 41 must terminate ahead of rolls 30, neatness of pleating may be enhanced by extending the mandrel to a point just short of the nip of these rolls.
Various modifications in elements of the described apparatus and process, not involving departure from the spirit of the invention are likely to occur to those skilled in the art. It also is obvious that the invention is particularly adaptable for use in the manufacture of peculiarly shaped sanitary napkins, such as body-conforming napkins as illustrated in Patent No. 2,662,527. Accordingly, it is to be understood that no limitations upon the scope of the invention are intended except in the appended claims.

Every year, B&H hosts the OPTIC Imaging Conference, a four-day event showcasing the best nature, landscape, and travel photography. The 2016 edition was a stellar outing, with presentations from some of the most interesting photographers working in those fields. It also serves as a chance for participants to put their hands on the latest cameras, lenses, and gear from all the major manufacturers.
As someone who enjoys pushing the envelope photographically, I've always had a soft spot for manual focus lenses. Hence my excitement over the invitation to test a Lensbaby Velvet 56 and write a review of its macro capabilities.
Are the pictures you shoot with your mobile device feeling uninspired or lacking in direction or focus? If so, perhaps it's time to consider taking a macro approach. In other words—explore photography magnified.
The root of the word "macro" refers to something long or large in scope, yet in this case, it refers to making small things look bigger. A macro image is generally distinguished by subject matter that is half-life size, (1:2), life size (1:1) or larger (2X, 3X, and so on) as represented on the image sensor.
In this educational article from B&H, you will learn the definition and history of bokeh, as well tips on how to use it creatively in your photography.
The cold days of winter are finally upon us and that means hunkering down with a cup of hot chocolate and taking a long deserved break. It also signifies shorter, darker days, when many of us will chow down with our family and friends, embracing the foodie inside all of us. As for me, I used the time to embrace the unique look of Lensbaby's latest Composer Pro II and Edge 50 Optic to create fun shots without constantly worrying about technical perfection.
Kenko-Tokina represents Lensbaby in Japan, so it was nice see the LM-10 Sweet Spot Lens along with Composer Pro Optics and the new 5.8mm f/3.5 Circular Fisheye Lenses.
For a brief overview of the Lensbaby system, as well as a profile of a couple of select products, this video features Mia McCormick speaking with a Lensbaby representative about the company's Composer Pro and its ability to deliver creative and selective-focus effects.
Enhance your images with this selective-focus lens by giving your photos a unique focal sweet spot, surrounded by blur. Available in eight different mounts, the Composer Pro holds the Sweet 50 Optic or other size Lensbaby Sweet Optics.

It turns out you can put a price on quality. A study finds that high-quality stocks beat lower-quality issues over the long term. What's more, high quality tends to do best when you really need it: in bear markets. Even better, the study concludes that high-quality stocks are cheap right now.
See Also: Tactics That Help Patient Investors Prosper. The Leuthold Group, a Minneapolis-based research firm, found that high-quality stocks returned an annualized 13.1% from the start of 1986 through March 2014. By contrast, low-quality stocks returned an annualized 10.0% over the same period, and Standard & Poor's 500-stock index returned an average of 10.6% per year.
What's "high quality"? Like so many investment terms, it suffers from imprecision. Almost everyone seems to define high-quality companies slightly differently, but healthy profit margins and low debt are always common threads. Leuthold's current high-quality list includes such sturdy stocks as Apple (symbol AAPL), Berkshire Hathaway B (BRK.B), Costco (COST), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), ExxonMobil (XOM), UnitedHealth Group (UNH) and Whole Foods Market (WFM).
