INVENTOR SAMUEL M. SCHWARTZ By B .Qnm
M WY his ATTORNEYS ABSORBENT STRETCI-IABLE FABRIC BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Stretchable fabrics have been available on the market for a number of years and have been used for diapers. Diapers formed with stretchable fabrics are better fitting, more comfortable, less constricting and relatively free from sagging in comparison to diapers made from non-stretchable fabrics. Stretchable fabrics are available having varying degrees of absorbency and, generally speaking, the more absorbent fabrics have been chosen for diaper construction. Where a single layer of stretchable fabric having a hydrophilic (water-absorbent) character is used, it suffers from the disadvantage found in many non-stretchable diapers, namely, body fluids are retained in contact with the wearers skin, thereby encouraging the development of diaper rash.
Diapers have recently been developed which employ a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic (waterrepellent) materials. In some instances, a layer of hydrophobic material is provided on the skin-contacting side of the diaper and a hydrophilic layer on the opposite side, so that fluids are passed through the hydrophobic and into the hydrophilic layer, keeping the wearer relatively dry. Such constructions are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,180,335, 3,295,526, and 2,905,176.
While multi-layer diapers of the type described above have a number of advantages, they have also developed many problems. For example, in a typical construction where the different layers are bonded or laminated together with adhesives, the bond weakens after several uses and washings, often causing the layers to separate. Where the separation of the layers is complete the diaper becomes useless. If separation is partial, an air pocket forms between the separated layers and prevents fluids from transferring efficiently to the absorbent layer. Further, the resin normally used to bond the layers together is non-porous and hydrophobic and impedes the transfer of fluids from one layer to another.
To compensate for the reduced transferability of fluids in such diapers, some manufacturers have increased the size of the pores in the skin-contacting layer The larger pores, however, have the defect that they allow the fluids to return through the hydrophobic layer and come into contact with the wearers skin.
Due to the fact that the multi-layer diaper constructions are made from multiple layers of different materials with different properties, each layer often shrinks a different amount upon laundering, causing a separation or buckling of the layers. As explained above, separation of the layers may impede transfer of fluids from one layer to another, or make the diaper useless. In addition, buckling may make the diaper uncomfortable to wear.
Additional problems arise with multi-layer diapers in the cutting and processing steps of manufacture. When numerous, loose layers are piled one on top of another, the cutting and sewing processes are difficult, and the results are not uniform. Furthermore, if the fabrics are knitted, the edges of such layers often curl, making the binding process more difficult.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The fabric of the present invention overcomes the aforementioned problems by providing an absorbent shrinkable web of hydrophilic material encased in a warp knitted fabric of relatively non-shrinkable yarn. The yarn is formed into a series of interconnected loop chains which are knitted thrbugh the web in the manner, for example, of a tricot or half-tricot stitch. After the web has been encased in the yarn, the fabric is subjected to heat and moisture, causing the web to undergo substantial shrinking relative to the yarn. As a result, the loop chains of yarn loosen, permitting limited stretching of the fabric.
When used as a diaper, the absorbent shrinkable web is comprised of a layer of shrinkable hydrophilic material and at least one layer of a shrinkable hydrophobic material. A diaper having this structure permits immediate transfer of fluid through the hydrophobic layer and into the hydrophilic layer, tending to keep the wearers skin dry.
The improved fabric constructions of the present invention are easier to manufacture and process than those disclosed in the prior art, are more comfortable to wear, and are less costly to produce. When utilized as a multi-layer diaper, the improved fabric has the additional advantages of minimum differential shrinkage and prevention of layer separation and bonding impediments. Such diaper does not allow fluids to return to the wearers skin and does not contain any irritating or harmful chemicals.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings in detail, FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of the fabric of the present invention. A continuous web 10 of a shrinkable hydrophilic material is encased in a warp knitted fabric of relatively non-shrinkable yarn 12 forming fabric 11. The fabric 11 becomes stretchable after it has been subjected to heat and moisture and the web 10 has shrunk significantly more than the yarn 12. A normal laundering cycle provides significant heat and moisture for shrinkage of the web 10.
By a web of a hydrophilic material I mean a web of material that is water-absorbent. By hydrophobic yarn I mean yarn that is water-repellent.
After the web has been encased in the yarn 12, and the fabric has been cut to its required size, but before it has been shrunk for stretchability, the edges of the fabric 11 preferably are covered by a border 13 which is stitched into place by conventional sewing machines (not shown). The border 13 prevents the yarn 12 from unraveling and presents a pleasing and finished appearance to the fabric 11.
The absorbent layer 10 is preferably of rayon but it can be of any absorbent material or fabric, such as cotton, wood pulp, or cellulose. Where rayon is used for the hydrophilic layer 10, it may be preferable to blend with it a portion of another material, for example, polyvinylchloride fibers, in order to give the layer more durability. Upon being subjected to heat, the polyvinylchloride fibers melt and bond together the rayon fibers, holding them in place. A construction whereby the hydrophilic layer 10 contains 85 percent rayon and 15 percent polyvinylchloride fibers has produced a product having excellent durability, although it is to be understood that these percentages of rayon and polyvinylchloride are not critical. Since the reduction of the weight of the rayon content has the tendency to reduce the absorbency of the layer 10, it is preferable to use less than 15 percent polyvinylchloride fibers in the construction. It is also to be understood that fibers of another material having the desired durability properties, for example, polyvinyl acetate, can be used in place of polyvinylchloride.
The material forming the web 10 can be spun or unspun, pressed or unpressed, knitted or unknitted,
woven or unwoven.
The yarn 12 which is used to encase the web 10, can be of any suitable relatively non-shrinkable material and preferably is hydrophobic. Suitable materials include spun or unspun yarns of a polyester, nylon filaments, an acrylic, polypropylene, and the like. Such yarn 12, however, has to have the characteristic that it will not shrink substantially upon being subjected to normal washing and drying cycles, or will not shrink more than 50 percent relative to the shrinkage of the web 10.
The material used for the border 13 can be any suitable material, but preferably it is to be hydrophobic and relatively non-shrinkable. It is understood that the border 13 is not a required feature of the invention and it is possible to prepare a suitable absorbent stretchable fabric 11 without it.
FIG. 2 illustrates the stitching process whereby the web 10 is encased in a warp knitted fabric of yarn 12. The stitching machine shown is a Maliwatt' machine which utilizes the Malimo technique of forming fabric at high speeds. Mali machines and the textilefabrics made therewith are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,890,579, 3,030,786, and 3,279,221. It is to be understood that any equivalent machine, for example, the Arachne machine or another Mali machine, can be utilized for preparing the fabric of the present invention.
In the stitching process, the web 10 is conveyed by a support arrangement to the stitching area of the machine where it is compacted and encased by the stitching yarn 12 to form a firm fabric 21. Either a tricot or half-tricot stitch which form interconnected loop chains of yarn can be used.
In the present invention, seven to 14 stitches per inch are preferred. Fewer stitches per inch increase the fluffiness of the construction but decrease its durability. A greater number of stitches per inch increase the durability of the construction, but decrease its absorbability. Where the stitches are on the order of seven per inch, it is preferable to use a material for the web 10 which has relatively long fibers in order to minimize losses in laundering. For example, a construction having a warp knitted fabric 21 of 7 stitches per inch and a hydrophillic layer 10 comprised of rayon with fibers approximately 3 k inches in length has produced a product with excellent durability After the stitching process has been completed, the fabric 11 is cut to the desired size and a border 13 is sewn around its circumference (as heretofore described). Prior to cutting, the fabric 11 is preferably scoured and dried, and the yarn 12 is heat set, in the manner described later in relation to FIG. 3.
If it is desired to make the linear dimension of the hydrophilic web 10 more stable before stitching, it can be pressed by needle punching. The needle punching substantially reduces the thickness of the web 10. The separate step of pressing is not necessary, however, as the stitching machines will compress the web 10 during the stitching process.
For stretchability, the fabric 11 is subjected to at least one normal washing and drying cycle. In practice the fabric 1 1 will shrink approximately 90 percent of its total shrinkage capability during its first laundering cycle. Experiments have shown that the web 10 will shrink approximately 15-25 percent while the yarn 12 will shrink approximately 5-10 percent. Because the web 10 shrinks more than the yarn 12, the shrinkage of the web 10 contracts the loops 22 (FIG. 1) of yarn 12 causing the loops 22 to become more rounded. When tension is applied to the shrunk fabric 11, the loops 22 flatten to at least their original position allowing the fabric 11 to stretch. When the tension is subsequently released, the loops 22 return to their after-shrinkage rounded condition.
FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention where the fabric 11 is utilized as an improved diaper. A hydrophobic layer 14 is placed in contact with a hydrophilic layer 15 and the two layers 14 and 15 are encased in a warp knitted fabric of hydrophobic yarn 12.
The hydrophilic layer 15 and the hydrophobic yarn 12 are of the same materials and constructions as described above.
The hydrophobic layer 14 can be of any hydrophobic material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene an acrylic, 'nylon, or any polyester, but preferably it is Reemay, a product of DuPont, or a spun polyester yarn. The Reemay material used in this embodiment is comprised of continuous polyester fibers (approximately percent) mixed with a high-shrink biconstituent yarn (approximately 20 percent) and is vibrated from spinerettes and spun and bonded into a thin, easily workable web.
The stitching process whereby the layers 14 and 15 are intimately and permanently bound together is the same as that described above in reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The stitching process can be utilized irrespective of whether the materials forming the layers 14 and are spun or unspun, pressed or unpressed, knitted or unknitted, woven or unwoven. For example, an unwoven, unpressed web or bat of rayon can be stitched together with an unspun, unbonded, web or bat of polyester to form the diaper construction.
Although it is possible to construct the present invention using an unspun, unbonded hydrophobic layer 14, it is preferable to use a preformed material, for example, Reemay or a spun polyester yarn, as described above.
Also, although the fabrics used in layers 14 and 15 can be of any knitted or woven construction, the fabrics are preferably made using non-woven fabrics. Non-woven fabrics permit a closer contact between two adjacent layers, thus enhancing the transferability of fluids from one layer to the other.
Besides permanently binding the two layers together, the stitching process also provides the necessary holes in the hydrophobic layer 14 which permit fluids to pass through the layer 14 and into the hydrophilic layer 15. The holes are large enough so that the fluids can be forced through them, by the force imparted to the fluids by the wearer and by the pressure exerted by the body of the wearer against the diaper, and yet small enough so that the fluids cannot return through them by liquid flow.
The above-described embodiment of the invention can be used either as a permanent or a disposable diaper. It may be preferable in a disposable construction, however, to use a material which is less costly than rayon for the hydrophilic layer 15. Such materials can be, for example, cotton, wood pulp, cellulose wadding, felt, and other forms of nonwoven materials.
After the stitching process has been completed, the construction is cut to the desired size and a border 13 of a hydrophobic material is sewn around the circumference of such construction, as described above. In addition to enhancing the appearance of the construction 7 and preventing the yarn 12 from unraveling, the border 13 in the multi-layer diaper construction prevents fluids absorbed in the hydrophilic layer 15 from seeping around the edges of the hydrophobic layer 14 and coming into contact with the wearers skin.
For stretchability, the two-layer embodiment is laundered and the two layers shrunk as described above regarding FIG. 1. For a construction wherein the hydrophilic layer 15 is a rayon web blended with 15 percent polyvinylchloride fibers, the hydrophobic layer 14 is Reemay, and the hydrophobic yarn 12 is polyester, the following shrinkage results were achieved when each of the three items were subjected to boiling water (b 212F) and dried at the same temperature:
Rayon web: 19 percent shrinkage in warp or machine direction; 23 percent shrinkage in the crossmachine direction.
Reemay: 3-5 percent shrinkage.
Polyester Yarn: 8-10 percent shrinkage.
Although the Reemay only shrinks on the order of onequarter of the rayon web 15, the substantial decrease in cross-sectional area of the rayon web 15 within the loops 22 of yarn 12 provides the necessary shrinkage for stretchability.
For the above test, a temperature of 2 l 2F was used because it is the approximate temperature used in the washers and dryers of most commercial laundering services. Typical household washers and dryers use slightly lower temperatures, normally within the range of 200F. j'
Temperatures in excess of 300F should not be used in laundering and shrinking the fabric 11 because these temperatures might cause the polyester yarn 12 to shrink an undesirable amount thereby ruining the stretchability characteristic of the fabric 1 1.
The fabric 11 is preferably laundered after completion but before marketing to wash out any dirt acquired during manufacture, any tinting used for internal identification purposes, and any sizing. This laundering step does not have any significant effect on shrinkage, because the fabric 11 is washed in lukewarm water, mounted on a rigid frame while passing through a drying oven, and dried at a temperature on the order of 200F. The fabric 11 can be bleached or dyed at the same time it is laundered.
Where the yarn 12 is polyester or a similar material, the initial laundering step also has the advantage that it can be utilized to heat-set the yarn 12 and hinder its subsequent shrinkage. After the fabric 11 is washed, but before it enters the drying oven, it preferably is passed through an area where the temperatures are in the range of 250280F, sufficient to heat-set the yarn 12. The fabric 11 is to remain in this area only long enough to set the polyester yarn, the moisture retained in the web 15 prevents it from reaching its shrinkage temperature.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 permits instantaneous transfer of fluids through the hydrophobic layer 14 with no back-leakage and provides a comfortable, stretchable diaper. Unlike diapers known in the art, the layers 14 and 15 of this construction cannot separate causing decreased transferability and uncomfortable buckling. Also, it is not necessary to use bonding agents which impede the transferability of known diapers. Furthermore, since the present invention is, in effect, a one-layer construction, problems relating to differential shrinkage, and cutting and sewing of numerous loose layers are eliminated.
FIGS. 4-6 illustrate various embodiments of the present invention.
FIG. 4 illustrates a conventional rectangular shaped fabric 11 with rounded corners and is the preferred shape for the present invention when used as a diaper.
FIG. 5 illustrates a diaper construction of the twolayer embodiment wherein the hydrophilic layer 15 is smaller in surface area than the hydrophobic layer 14. This embodiment permits greater ease of handling and fastening of the diaper around the wearer.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is slightly more difficult to manufacture than any of the other embodiments as it requires accurately spacing separate strips of the hydrophilic material 15 on the support arrangement 20 (FIG. 2). The fabric making machines generally produce a fabric 21 which is much wider than the width of a single diaper, and therefore, numerous strips of the hydrophilic material 15 must be placed on a layer of the hydrophobic material 14 for stitching.
It is also possible for two of the opposite edges 25 and 26 of the diaper construction to be concave to facilitate a better fit on the wearer. Such an embodiment is shown in FIG. 6. The dotted lines 30 and 31 on FIG. illustrate the concave edge feature on a diaper where the hydrophilic layer is smaller in width than the hydrophobic layer 14.
FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention in which a second layer 35 of hydrophobic material is placed in contact with the hydrophilic layer 15, sandwiching the layer 15 between two hydrophobic layers 14 and 35. The second hydrophobic layer 35 can be, for example, another layer of DuPont's Reemay, a layer of plastic similar to the material used in infant rubber pants, or a layer of any other hydrophobic material. When used as a diaper, this three-layer construction eliminates the need for protective pants.
The present invention is not limited to diaper constructions, but can be used in numerous ways and can be employed for making many types of garments. The fabric 11 can be utilized, for example, as an absorbent pad or as a swimsuit.
When used as an absorbent pad, the fabric 11 would preferably be substantially rectangular in shape (similar to FIG. 4). Such pads have uses, for example, as bed pads under people who are unable to control their body functions. If it is desired to transfer fluids away from contact with an object or person, then the two and three-layer embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, respectively, can be utilized.
When the present invention is used as a fabric for a swimsuit 40, as shown in FIG. 8, preferably the twolayer embodiment (FIG. 3) will be employed. The hydrophobic layer 14 next to the wearers skin will transfer the water away from the wearers skin and into the adjacent hydrophilic layer 15. The hydrophilic layer 15 preferably would contain a greater percentage of polyvinylchloride filaments than in the aforementioned constructions in order to make the layer 15 less absorbent and thus able to transfer the water to its outside surface more readily so that it can be evaporated by the air. This construction would prevent the wearer from experiencing the cooling sensation experienced when one first steps out of a body of water and the water still contained in the swimming garment begins to evaporate drawing heat away from one 5 body.
Whenever the two-layer embodiment (FIG. 3) of the present invention is used as a diaper or a pad, preferably it will be necessary to mark one side of the construction in some manner so that the user will not get confused as to which side to place next to the wearer's skin and which side to place away from the wearer. Such markings can be accomplished, for example, by dyeing or tinting the hydrophilic layer 15, or by marking one side with a permanent, colored line. The inclusion of a few parts per thousand of a colored fiber into the web of the hydrophilic layer 15 would tint such layer. Placing a brush or dye marker (not shown) on the stitching machine (shown in FIG. 2) immediately below the stitching needles so that it comes in contact.
were conducted. The results of these tests are provided in the following table:
5 RELATIVE WETNESS 0F DIAPER SURFACES (Dry Fabric Surface 0) Time Intervals (minutes) After Wetting Fabric The three diapers used in the comparative tests with the present construction were all purchased on the open market. The Three-Layer Disposable Diaper was marketed as Pampers (manufactured by Proctor & Gamble Co.) and was comprised of a pad formed from piles of creped cellulose wadding and a porous, hydrophobic top sheet both layers attached to a back sheet of a waterproof material. This construction is covered by the Duncan et al. patent, U.S. Pat. No. 3,180,335.
The Conventional Cotton Gauze Diaper was a prefolded Curity diaper (manufactured by Kendall), comprised of layers of cotton gauze.
The Diaper with Hydrophobic Yarns" was marketed as Babycare (manufactured by Riegel Textile Corp.) and was comprised of a layer of interwoven hydrophobic and hydrophilic yarns (woven so that hydrophobic fibers predominated the outside surface of such layer) and numerous layers of cotton gauze forming an absorbent pad. This construction is covered by the Holliday et al. patent, U.S. Pat. No. 3,113,570.
The four diapers were laid side by side on a plastic film surface and all were wetted with 50 milliliters of tap water. All of the water was poured on one spot of each diaper and that same spot was used for the subsequent measurements of wetness.
A Crystalab Ionimeter (Model CT-2I) water conductivity indicator was utilized for the fabric wetness tests. This instrument is normally used to test the purity of water by measuring the electrical conductivity of the water and the parts per million of salt in the water. The instrument was modified to measure the wetness of the diaper by extending the electrode contact points by suitable wiring and housing the two ends of the wire in a plastic assembly. The contact points were two brass screwheads, fifteen thirty-seconds of an inch in diameter. The plastic probe containing the two contact points weighed 199 grams and exerted a pressure of 1.27 pounds per square inch on the fabric surfaces. Such pressure is of a magnitude comparable to body pressures exerted on a diaper by a baby.
The figures in the above table were read from the logarithmic arc-type" parts per million scale on the Ionimeter and are an index of the relative wetness of the fabric surface. The dryer the surface, the lower the electrical conductivity and thus the lower the measurement of the parts per million of salt'in the water.
Referring to the above table, the results show that the figures corresponding to the Absorbent Stretchable Fabric were consistently and considerably lower than those of the other three diapers. The surface of the Absorbent Stretchable Fabric was thus substantially dryer at the end of each of the six measured time intervals than those of the others.
The figures in the table are also directly proportional. This means that at the end of minutes, the Three-Layer Disposable Diaper was four times as wet as the Absorbent Stretchable Fabric, the Conventional Cotton Gauze Diaper was 2.5 times as wet as the Absorbent Stretchable Fabric, and the Diaper with Hydrophobic Yarns was 4.5 times as wet as the Absorbent Stretchable Fabric.

I've been using Fanwood for a few months now. It's beautiful, and so far, easy to use. There are a couple of things I want to change but will probably find out how to do so in the forum related to this theme. This isn't a prolific review, but the bottom line is - it works, it's compatible w/a lot of useful plugins, and worth using.
I'm pretty impressed that this is a free theme. The style is great, and there are about a billion widget and menu areas. It also has several page templates for different column layouts, which is much appreciated. Doesn't look too bad out of the box for bbPress either.
My only criticism would be that there should be a graphic in the FAQ to highlight which widget/menu areas end up where in the design. It took a little trial and error.
All-in-all, a great look with more than enough options to keep the tinkerer inside you busy on the quest for perfection.
Lots of cool features, but it's missing one of the most important: changing the color scheme. Black on yellow might look good on some personal blogs, but it's not for all.
Though advertised as a mobile-friendly theme, it was impossible to set menus or widgets. I'm sure it's fine on full-sized screens, but my project is to set up a mobile version of a site and I wasted a good chunk of time.

Rogue River
The Rogue River was originally called 'River of the Rogues' after the Native Americans that occupied the area and refused to give up their land to early settlers without a fight. When trappers and fur traders first began moving into the territory in 1836, and until 1856, there were countless numbers of battles between the native Shasta, Takelma and Rogue River tribes and the new comers to their land. The largest surge of new settlers came with the passing of the Donation Land Act in 1850. This Act gave couples 320 acres and single white men 160 acres, if they agreed to live on and cultivate the land for a minimum of four years. In 1851 the area saw another huge increase in settlers when gold was discovered on the Rogue. There was a total of over $70 million in gold taken from the river; $5 million was taken from Tyee rapids alone by a group of Chinese miners. Over time the abundance of gold dwindled and most of the valuable animal pelts had been trapped out forcing the settlers to turn to agriculture. The valley was largely used for farming because of its mild climate which allows for an extra long growing season, especially for fruit and nuCommercial salmon fishing was also once popular along the Rogue until it was outlawed in 1962 by state legislation banning the use of gill-nets.
The Rogue River became famous in Hollywood in the 1930's. Many famous actors and actresses such as Clark Gable, Ginger Rogers, Zane Grey and Herbert Hoover loved the Rogue River area. Clark Gable was reportedly once overheard at a start studded Hollywood diner saying "I'd rather be eating flapjacks at the Weasku Inn," an historic inn located near Savage Rapids Dam.
Starting with such shows as "Gunsmoke," "Rooster Cogburn" and "Butch Cassiday and the Sundance Kid" (remember that jump from the cliffs to the water below?) among more recent movies such as "The River Wild" and "Dead Man", the Rogue is used for its savage beauty and versatile landscape to create the backdrop for many movies and T.V. shows. It has also become home to many stars such as Ginger Rogers, Kim Novak and Kirstie Alley.
The Rogue is one of eight rivers Oregon designated as a wild and scenic river. The river begins its journey high in the Cascades at Boundary Springs located inside Crater Lake National Park. From there the river twists and winds its way through the Cascade, Siskiyou and Coastal Mountain Ranges, entering and leaving four counties, before emptying into the Pacific Ocean 215 miles later at Gold Beach, OR. There are three sections to the Rogue, the upper, middle and lower. The major tributaries of the Rogue River are the South Fork Rogue, Elk Creek, Bear Creek, the Applegate River and the Illinois River.
The Rogue River provides a wide variety of year round fishing opportunities including Chinook and Coho salmon along with steelhead, brown trout, cutthroat trout, catfish and sturgeon. The Rogue is of course most famous for its salmon and steelhead runs. Chinook and steelhead run in both the fall and spring and Coho run in the fall. There are many places along the Rogue where fishing is good from stream banks and gravel bars. A large portion of the river is also fished with boats.
Upstream of Lost Creek Lake (also known as the Upper Rogue) provides a large variety of trout. The middle section of the Rogue from Lost Creek Lake downstream to Grants Pass produces major opportunities for both fall and spring Chinook as well as Coho in the fall and an amazing summer and winter steelhead run. This section of the river also provides the opportunity to catch some very large rainbow trout.
The Lower portion of the Rogue River from Grants Pass to Grave Creek boasts great runs of summer and winter steelhead and a large variety of trout and possibly even a catfish or two. The bottom half of the Lower Rogue from Grave Creek to Foster Bar allows one the opportunity to fish again for summer and winter steelhead, spring and fall Chinook and Coho. The portion of the Lower Rogue near the Pacific Ocean also produces the opportunity to fish for perch, lingcod, and sturgeon.
Trails & Waterfalls
Upper Rogue Trail & Knob Falls
The Upper Rogue Trail is a 3.5 mile trail that follows along the banks of the turbulent Rogue River. It starts with a Natural Bridge that is formed where the river flows through an underground maze of lava tubes before releasing a portion of the water flow into a small pool below the bridge. The remainder of the water continues through the tubes to the east bank where the largest of the tubes emits the remaining flow into the main channel of the river.
The trail continues through a lush, green forest and can be slippery when the ground is wet. The surroundings vary from old growth forests of huge trees to low lying brush and the water ranges from swift, raging rapids to pools of calm, quiet water. The trail continues climbing above the river to a view point for a spot in the river known as Knob Falls. Here the river takes a sharp turn before rushing through the narrow chute of a collapsed lava tube. The trail continues to Woodruff Bridge, which not only provides a peaceful picnic area, but is also known as a favorite fishing spot.
Rainie Falls
The Rainie Falls trail is a 4 mile round trip hike. Portions of this trail are a steep, narrow and somewhat rocky climb, but well worth the hike. In the spring there are natural water runoffs that cross portions of the trail making it potentially slick. During the summer the hike can get very hot, but there are many beautiful calm pools of water along the way to cool off. Approximately halfway up the trail, a beautiful view is provided of the bare and rocky Sanderson Island. Once you reach Rainie falls, there is a beautiful spot for a peaceful rest and a wonderful view of salmon and steelhead jumping the falls when the season is right.
Union Creek Trail
An 8.2 mile round trip hike through the beautiful forest along the banks of Union Creek, a tributary of the Rogue River, this trail begins in the beautiful little village of Union Creek, Oregon on the Upper Rogue River. The trail takes you through old growth forests of Douglas Firs with beautiful wildflowers and shrubs along the way. Further upstream, the creek banks are lined with moss covered volcanic rock. About three miles into the hike, the trail provides a breathtaking view of Union Falls before turning north for an addition half mile to the upper trail head which ends on Road #610.

It was all getting old
These endless things
Another year here: misery....
Yet this would divert nor appease
Her cold coming down ? A world in lost
Must we endure another day; these,
Chains their lies truth's, pain! Where is mercy ?
Thousands of years; his grave: slaves, she sings
While tears form our eyes; as skirting round about, nothing.

Through July 1st, Hotels.com is offering 10% off any hotel stay with coupon code SUMMER40US10. Code can be combined with other promotions that do not require a coupon. Book by 7/1 for travel by 12/31.
Deal has expired
how can this be combined when hotels.com only allows entry of one coupon at checkout?
#1, The code can be combined with Hotel's promotions that do not require a coupon. (such as their 30% off July 4th hotels deal). Thanks for pointing it out, though. The post has been clarified. Capital!
Coupons don't apply towards Hotels.com rewards. AKA 10 stays = a free night, use a coupon & that stay won't count because you use a coupon / promotion / discount, blah, blah.

In the latest version of Office Live we introduced a new feature called Data Sharing. Essentially this acts as a pipeline between your public web site and web pages and your private site Business Applications on Office Live. You can use Data Sharing to either pipe data into a Bizapp list from a form on your public site or, in reverse, you can use it to pipe data from a Bizapp list back out to your web site.
I created a little screencast demo on how to create a form to collect leads from your website and integrate it into your Business Contact Manager bizapp. It's pretty cool, if a little geeky, a feature only a developer could love.
Anyway, here's the link to the video. Check it out.

Hi there,
There appears to be a default bullet icon in lists set as an arrow, i need to remove this completely as it is interfering with a plugin. They are actually covering some of the icons in the plugin....and it is making the page look very messy.
The link is http://www.worldwidestallionregister.com/classified-ad/
The site is still VERY much in development and in the early stages so there isn't a great deal to look at, i just need to get this bit sorted before i can move on.
Many thanks in advance.

We demonstrate room temperature heralded single photon generation in a CMOS-compatible siliconnanophotonic device. The strong modal confinement and slow group velocity provided by a coupled resonatoroptical waveguide produced a large four-wave-mixing nonlinearity coefficient W−1 m−1 at telecommunications wavelengths. Spontaneous four-wave-mixing using a degenerate pump beam at 1549.6 nm created photon pairs at 1529.5 nm and 1570.5 nm with a coincidence-to-accidental ratio exceeding 20.

Intracavity and resonant Raman crystal fiber laser100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730949View Description Hide Description
We demonstrated an efficient, compact, and continuous-wave Raman crystal fiber laser (RCFL) using an intracavity and resonant χ (3) approach. The gain and nonlinear medium was Cr4+:Y3Al5O12 double-clad crystal fiber grown using the codrawing laser-heated pedestal growth technique. The RCFL threshold was only 50 mW, and the slope efficiency reached 14.3% above a pump power of 350 mW. The result is in good agreement with theory, which indicates a near-100% quantum efficiency of resonant stimulated Raman scattering.
Nanophotonic detection of side-coupled nanomechanical cantilevers100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4731210View Description Hide Description
A silicon nanophotonic Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is used to detect the mechanical resonance of a cantilever external to a nanophotonicwaveguide. Small cantilever devices, below the cut-off for waveguide supported modes, are fabricated ∼140 nm away from one MZI arm. Cantilever resonant frequencies up to 60 MHz are measured with mechanical quality factors around 20 000 and signal to noise ratios up to 1000. Phase-locked loop frequency stability measurements indicate a mass sensitivity of 2 zg in an example cantilever of 0.5 pg mass. An interferometric transduction mechanism is confirmed, and the system is shown to work effectively in all-optical operation.
Fabrication and luminescent properties of core-shell InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells on GaN nanopillars100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4731629View Description Hide Description
Core-shell InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells(MQWs) on GaNnanopillars were fabricated by top-down etching followed by epitaxial regrowth. The regrowth formed hexagonal sidewalls and pyramids on the nanopillars. The cathodoluminescence of MQWs blue shifts as the location moves from top to bottom on both the pillar sidewalls and pyramid facets, covering a spectral linewidth of about 100 nm. The MQWs on the pillar sidewalls have a higher InN fraction than those on the pyramid facets. The photoluminescent wavelength is stable over two orders of carrier density change due to the smaller quantum confined Stark effect on the nanopillar facets.
Telecommunications-band heralded single photons from a silicon nanophotonic chip100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4711253View Description Hide Description

Effect of proton bombardment on InAs dots and wetting layer in laser structures100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730964View Description Hide Description
The effect of proton bombardment on carrier lifetime and photoluminescence of InAs quantum dots was measured.Optical absorption and transmission electron microscopy show the dots retain their integrity under bombardment. A decrease in ground statephotoluminescence with increasing dose is not explained by the decrease in dot carrier lifetime alone, but also by bombardment-induced non-radiative recombination in the wetting layer, which reduces the dot electron population at fixed excitation. To exploit the relative radiation immunity of quantum dots, it is necessary to maximise the dot density and capture probability per dot to minimize the effect of wetting layer recombination.
Optimal control of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering image contrast100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4731205View Description Hide Description
Optimal control of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering(CARS)imagecontrast is reported. The setup combines an evolutionary strategy and a closed-loop feedback with a liquid-crystal spatial modulator to control the spectrum of the Stokes pulse within a CARS scheme to optimize the vibrational contrast of CARSimages. The CARS excitation spectrum is optimized for imagecontrast at a pre-determined wavenumber position. The optimization feedback uses an image-contrast parameter generated from the image itself as the experimentally imposed fitness parameter. This strategy allows for enhancing the imagecontrast by a factor of up to 2.6.
In situ optofluidic control of reconfigurable photonic crystal cavities100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4732093View Description Hide Description
The mobile nature of fluids is fully exploited in planar photonic crystals to not only tune and reconfigure in situ optical microcavities, in a continuous and reversible manner, but also to create "a posteriori" spatially programmable cavities. Both the amount of liquid and the location of the selectively infiltrated area can be accurately controlled either mechanically, using a microfiber manipulator, or optically, using a laser-controlled evaporation and recondensation scheme. The wide applicability is illustrated by tuning a cavity resonance over 50 nm, adjusting the frequency splitting of an originally degenerate cavity mode, and by freely moving a liquid-induced cavity through dragging a microdroplet.
Photoluminescence of boron nitride nanosheets exfoliated by ball milling100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4731203View Description Hide Description
The photoluminescence of boron nitride (BN)nanosheets exfoliated by ball milling method has been investigated. At room temperature, the nanosheets have strong deep ultraviolet (DUV) light emission at 224 nm and weak defect-related UV (∼300 nm) emission. The DUV peak profile slightly changes with the increase of milling time due to the increase of stacking faults caused by the shear force during milling. The decreased ∼300 nm emission after milling treatments has been attributed to the preferential orientation of the BNnanosheets on substrate and the strong polarizationanisotropy of BN materials in luminescence.
Optically gated tunable terahertz filters100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4729480View Description Hide Description
We present a fast and flexible terahertz filter based on diffractivegratings combined with an optically gated modulator. The terahertz radiation is diffracted by blazed gratings, and the individual frequency components are focused onto an optically excited semiconductor. Different light patterns are used to create free carriers in the bulk semiconductor material, leading to a spatial modulation of its transmission. This approach enables us to damp arbitrary frequencies and allows us to design and implement filters with almost any frequency response. By using the digital light processing technique, the switching time between different filter settings is as short as 16 ms.
Hot electron extraction from CdTe quantum dots via beta carotene molecular energy levels100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730623View Description Hide Description
We report our findings related to hot electron extraction from CdTe quantum dots, and we were able to do this by using beta carotene as an electron acceptor. Transient absorption spectra with two slow recovering negative bleaches at the absorption maximum of the molecule and quantum dot have indicated the slowing down of cooling process and the existence of hot carriers in this hybrid system.
Gain measurements of scattering-assisted terahertz quantum cascade lasers100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4732518View Description Hide Description
Using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, the gain of scattering-assisted terahertz quantum cascade lasers is measured. By examining the intersubband gain and absorption over a wide range of bias voltages, we experimentally detect energy anticrossings—revealing information about the mechanism of laser action—and compare the resonant-tunneling injection scheme to the scattering-assisted injection scheme. The temperature performance of the gain medium is also measured and discussed, and an additional intersubband transition is identified that contributes to scattering-assisted lasing action at high temperatures.
Sampled grating, distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers with broad tunability and continuous operation at room temperature100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4732801View Description Hide Description
A dual-section, single-mode quantum cascade laser is demonstrated in continuous wave at room temperature with up to 114 nm (50 cm−1) of tuning near a wavelength of 4.8 μm. Power above 100 mW is demonstrated, with a mean side mode suppression ratio of 24 dB. By changing the grating period, 270 nm (120 cm−1) of gap-free electrical tuning for a single gain medium has been realized.

The importance of scattering, surface potential, and vanguard counter-potential in terahertz emission from gallium arsenide100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730954View Description Hide Description
It is well established that under excitation by short (<1 ps), above-band-gap optical pulses, semiconductor surfaces may emit terahertz-frequency electromagnetic radiation via photocarrier diffusion (the dominant mechanism in InAs) or photocarrier drift (dominant in GaAs). Our three-dimensional ensemble Monte Carlo simulations allow multiple physical parameters to vary over wide ranges and provide unique direct insight into the factors controlling terahertz emission. We find for GaAs (in contrast to InAs),scattering and the surface potential are key factors. We further delineate in GaAs (as in InAs) the role of a vanguard counter-potential. The effects of varying dielectric constant, band-gap, and effective mass are similar in both emitter types.
Characterization of the local crystallinity via reflectance of very slow electrons100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4729879View Description Hide Description
The reflectance of very slow electrons from solids and its electron energy dependence are shown as characteristic for the crystal system and its spatial orientation so they can serve, e.g., to fingerprinting the orientation of grains in polycrystals. Measurements on single crystals and polycrystals are validated via electron backscatter diffraction analyses. Sensitivity of the method to fine details of crystallinity is demonstrated.
Electronic structure of delta-doped La:SrTiO3 layers by hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4731642View Description Hide Description
We have employed hard x-ray photoemission (HAXPES) to study a delta-doped SrTiO3 layer that consisted of a 3-nm thickness of La-doped SrTiO3 with 6% La embedded in a SrTiO3film. Results are compared to a thick, uniformily doped La:SrTiO3 layer. We find no indication of a band offset for the delta-doped layer, but evidence of the presence of Ti3+ in both the thick sample and the delta-layer, and indications of a density of states increase near the Fermi energy in the delta-doped layer. These results further demonstrate that HAXPES is a powerful tool for the non-destructive investigation of deeply buried doped layers.
Micro-Raman spectroscopy of graphene grown on stepped 4H-SiC (0001) surface100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730372View Description Hide Description
Graphenegrown by chemical vapor deposition on 4H-SiC (0001) was studied using micro-Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy(AFM).AFM revealed that the graphene structure grown on on-axis substrates has a stepped morphology. This is due to step bunching, which results from etching in hydrogen as well as from the process of graphene formation itself. It was shown by micro-Raman spectroscopy that the properties of graphene present on step edges and on terraces are quite different. Graphene on terraces is uniform with a relatively small thickness and strain fluctuations. On the other hand, graphene on step edges has a large thickness and strain variations occur. A careful analysis of micro-Raman spatial maps led us to the conclusion that the carrier concentration on step edge regions is lowered when compared with terrace regions.
Simultaneous flattening of Si(110), (111), and (001) surfaces for three-dimensional Si nanowires100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4731789View Description Hide Description
We prepared atomically flat Si(110), (111), and (001) surfaces using identical preparation conditions for a low-pH (pH < 1) HF treatment and a subsequent low-temperature (∼800 °C) anneal in H2. Atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) revealed that the treated Si(110) surfaces were atomically flat with a hydrogen-terminated 1 × 1 atomic arrangement. Similar features were also confirmed by STM analysis of 1 × 1:H on Si(111) and 2 × 1:H on Si(001) surfaces. Using this technique, well-ordered cross sections of three-dimensional Si nanowires surrounded by simultaneously flattened (110), (111), (001) facets were realized for nanowires with 〈100〉, 〈110〉, 〈111〉, and 〈112〉 long-axis orientations.

Ultraviolet emission efficiency enhancement of a-plane AlGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-wells with increasing quantum well thickness100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730438View Description Hide Description
The defect-induced carrier localization in nonpolar a-plane (Al,Ga)N/GaN multiple quantum wells(MQWs) structures with different well thickness have been investigated. A strong variation of temperature-dependentphotoluminescence peak energy was observed and attributed to the existence of the localized states. The degree of carrier localization in these defect-induced states was more prominent in the case of MQWs with the wider well width. In addition, the ultraviolet light emission efficiency revealed a 3-fold enhancement with increasing the well width from 1.6 nm to 7.3 nm, due to the strong carrier localization generated from the quantum-wire-like features formed by the intersection between basal stacking faults and quantum wells.
Quantum Monte Carlo study of high-pressure cubic TiO2100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730608View Description Hide Description
We have studied the high-pressure cubic fluorite polymorph of TiO2 (c-TiO2) using the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method. The estimated bulk modulus is within the range reported previously in density functional studies, high, but does not rival that of diamond. The calculated excitation energies within DMC are consistent with the results of GW approximation. The infrared frequency of c-TiO2, obtained via the frozen phonon method within DMC, shows non-negligible anharmonicity. This suggests that c-TiO2 might be stabilized if this anharmonicity is considered. Our DMC results could help to establish more accurate results for c-TiO2 compared with the widely-scattered mean-field results.
Strategy for designing broadband epsilon-near-zero metamaterial with loss compensation by gain media100(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4730380View Description Hide Description
A strategy is proposed to design the broadband gain-doped epsilon-near-zero (GENZ) metamaterial. Based on the Milton representation of effective permittivity, the strategy starts in a dimensionless spectral space, where the effective permittivity of GENZ metamaterial is simply determined by a pole-zero structure corresponding to the operating frequency range. The physical structure of GENZ metamaterial is retrieved from the pole-zero structure via a tractable inverse problem. The strategy is of great advantage in practical applications and also theoretically reveals the cancellation mechanism of the broadband near-zero permittivity phenomenon in the spectral space.

Kurt Sutter is at it again.
With another great FX show in the books, we're ready to take stock of everything the channel has done in the 21st century.
Everything you need to know about the medieval drama.
Kurt Sutter is also still kicking around the idea of a prequel series, too.
Kurt Sutter is developing a new spin-off of his hit FX drama. Will you watch?
The grisly period drama from the creator of Sons of Anarchy is a go.
See the full list of nominees and get our take on what was right and what was wrong.
Who was driving that truck? We think we've figured it out.
Without those two tentpoles, the network's programming slate is full of question marks, aging offerings, and a weird mix of good shows with bad ratings and bad shows with solid ratings.
After seven long seasons, FX's biker drama came to a bloody end.
With only one episode left in the series, Sons of Anarchy let loose with the brutal violence.
A raw, quiet, and emotional hour set up the unknown for Sons of Anarchy's final two episodes.
Warning: This review contains pictures of butts!
SAMCRO was dealt a big loss, and now Jax has to change his plans... again!
Jax felt a but if remorse about what he's been doing, and then he kept doing it anyway.
SAMCRO gets a message letting them know they aren't holding all the cards, and Gemma has a freakout.
Intense negotiations flew over our head as Season 7 finally slowed down a bit. Also, what was the point of casting Lea Michele?
"Some Strange Eruption" moved Season 7's story into the second phase of what happens when a motorcycle club goes rogue and upsets the delicate ecosystem of crime in a small town.
Well, we all saw this coming, didn't we?
Surprise, surprise! Jax is still messing up a lot of people's lives.

Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 Queens Park Rangers
- From the section Football
- Nacer Chadli scores twice for Spurs
- Eric Dier and Emmanuel Adebayor both on target
- Tottenham remain unbeaten this season with three wins
- Leroy Fer and Mauricio Isla make QPR debuts
Harry Redknapp's return to White Hart Lane was a miserable one as the QPR manager saw his side beaten comfortably by a rampant Tottenham.
Winger Nacer Chadli scored twice for Spurs, while defender Eric Dier and striker Emmanuel Adebayor also got their names on the scoresheet.
The result meant Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has won each of his three matches in charge.
Redknapp's QPR have lost both of their Premier League games without scoring.
Beforehand, the talk had centred on Redknapp's first visit to Spurs since he was sacked by the club in June 2012 after almost four years in charge.
The visitors had a particularly strong Tottenham flavour with Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle, who was appointed by Redknapp as QPR's first-team coach earlier this month, watching from the stands
Redknapp, 67, was afforded a warm welcome by the home fans but any sentiment was quickly forgotten as his team was brushed aside by Pochettino's men.
The Argentine has been tasked with earning a top-four finish and introducing a similar style to the one he implemented at Southampton.
Although they face a sterner test of their credentials in a week's time against Liverpool, Tottenham fans will feel encouraged with both the quality and ruthlessness of this performance.
Spurs recalled five players rested for their 2-1 win over Limassol in their Europa League play-off and showed no signs of fatigue to take an early lead.
Christian Eriksen dispossessed Loic Remy, which allowed Nabil Bentaleb to send Adebayor clear down the right. The Togo striker's cross to the back post picked out Chadli, who controlled on his chest before deftly poking the ball past Robert Green.
|QPR's White Hart Lane struggles
|QPR have managed just three wins in 27 visits to White Hart Lane in all competitions, with their last coming back in May 1994.
QPR should have levelled when Matty Phillips brought down a difficult ball on the edge of the Tottenham box but, with only Hugo Lloris to beat, he sliced his shot over the crossbar.
The visitors rarely threatened in the remainder of the first half as Spurs took command.
Eriksen rattled the crossbar with a spectacular free-kick before Spurs added a second goal on the half-hour. Dier got in front of Leroy Fer to head home Erik Lamela's corner.
Argentine Lamela, who has looked reinvigorated under compatriot Pochettino after a difficult first season following his move from Roma, impressed again and had a major hand in Tottenham's second goal shortly before the break.
The 22-year-old jinked past several players as he burst into the area and crossed for the unmarked Chadli to head past Green.
QPR gave debuts to Netherlands midfielder Fer following his £8m move from Norwich, and Chile defender Mauricio Isla after his arrival on loan from Juventus, but neither player had much of an impact on a disappointing day for QPR.
Their afternoon would get worse, though, when Adebayor added a fourth goal for Spurs, confidently dispatching Danny Rose's cross past Green.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: "It was a great performance. We are trying to develop our style and philosophy. It is not easy but the players always try.
"Erik Lamela did well, it is never easy when you come to new country and you are young to adapt. He needs time to show his skill."
QPR boss Harry Redknapp: "We didn't play well and got what we deserved, which is nothing.
"I thought we were in awe of Tottenham a little bit. You have to play with energy, you can't stroll about in this division if you want to stay in it."
