Shocking picture in one of our tabloid papers today
IT'S the original tide of filth. This shocking picture shows a city centre stream covered entirely with rubbish.
The heavily-polluted creek runs past makeshift houses in Manila, capital of the Philippines.
The horrifying photo was published at the 5th World Water Forum in Istanbul, Turkey.
Experts there are aiming to solve the chronic shortages of clean water blighting poorer parts of the world.
Just a word of warning on Manila. Never drink the local tip-water.

What do a $100 million condominium development, a $3+ billion waste-water treatment plant, the Olympic stadium, a cutting-edge computing facility, and a charity-funded beachfront home for special needs children have in common?
If they were all completed on time, met rigorous safety standards, and came in under budget, the answer is a skilled construction manager.
Simply put, the world relies on construction managers to supervise the safe and efficient building of the bridges, roads, schools, factories, airports, recycling centers, skyscrapers and subway systems we enjoy every, single day. And that makes construction management one of the most fulfilling, fun and exciting careers today – a chance to do what you love while literally changing the world, one building project at a time.
As a construction manager, you'll play a central role in community development. You'll be responsible for ensuring strict safety standards. Your job will answer the vital infrastructure needs of your city and community. And as manager, you'll lead, motivate and interact, everyday, with diverse and talented professionals who also work to better the world, one brick at a time.
Sound rewarding? This guide will help you explore the field and get your started on the path toward launching a successful career in construction management (CM).

What is Construction Management?
Wikipedia defines construction management as, "the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. CPM is aimed at meeting a client's requirement in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project."
In even simpler terms, construction managers (CMs) protect the interests of project owners (public agencies, private developers, or individuals), as well as those of contractors, architects and designers throughout the construction process. Without the help and expertise of a professional construction manager, projects simply wouldn't be completed on time, on budget – or ever.
A CM's professional responsibilities are diverse, encompassing:
- The definition, development and translation of project parameters into a viable, executable project
- Development of a project timeline
- Request and obtainment of work permits, building permits, and other legal requirements
- Project budgeting
- Development of project materials and documentation, which other professionals will depend on to provide accurate bids
- Bid evaluation and eventual selection of professional service providers: industrial designers, architects, contractors, etc.
- Disburse payment throughout construction
- Coordinate work and communication between architects, designers, contractors, the construction crew, and other professionals
- Coordinate and supervise construction work
- Ensure adherence to construction and safety standards
- Serve as a liaison between professionals and the project owner
- Implement any changes to project scope or work requirements
- Ensure work proceeds on schedule and under budget
- Troubleshoot emergencies
- Schedule walkthroughs
- Keep clients/owners informed of progress
- Coordinate project commissioning and finalization
- And more (yes, seriously)
A day in the life of a construction manager is busy indeed: projects begin with intense communications (that you direct) between the project's owner and the project's varying professionals, from the engineers and architects behind the scenes to the designers, contractors and workers who will put on the finishing touches.
After everyone has had his or her say – and after the owner has signed off of everyone else's suggestions – it's up to you to finagle sophisticated software to spit out schema for complicated planning techniques, detailed schedules, line-item budgets, and all the other minutiae involved in small and large construction projects.
When construction begins, your primary responsibility is to be on the job site, everyday and in close contact with every person involved in the project. They are responsible to you, but at the end of the day, you have the biggest responsibility: ensuring that everything proceeds according to plan and that your entire crew stays on point, all the time.
You'll use technology and communications, knowledge and the Internet, persuasion and experience to fulfill these varied and challenging tasks. As a CM, your every working moment is dedicated to your projects, whether they're in the stages of pre-planning or finalization. Like doctors, construction managers are "on call" almost 24 hours a day. Without a doubt, this is a challenging and demanding career path.

Construction Management: Career Outlook and Salary Expectations ?
If construction management sounds like a lot of responsibility, not to mention a lot of work, it is. You are, quite literally, in charge of managing millions of dollars, constructing massive buildings, and keeping millions of people safe from harm.
It's exhilarating. It's fulfilling. And it is rewarding – literally. Construction management is a growing field that pays very well. According to U.S. News and World Report, construction management is the #1 best construction job and the 37th best job – that's out of all jobs, in every industry and marketplace in the world.
And in addition to being coveted and enjoyable positions, CM jobs are on the rise. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that construction management positions will grow 16 percent between 2012 and 2022 – faster than average for all occupations. And the salary? We've saved the best for last: Construction managers made, on average, $82,790 in 2012. The highest-paid CMs raked in more than $144,520 a year, and even the lowest-paid construction managers pulled a very respectable $50k.
Now that's earning power.

Career Path, Step 1: Practice On-the-Job Training ?
According to the Princeton Review, "practical study" is one of the most important elements of a successful career in construction management.
So what is practical study? It's on-the-job training. It's digging in and getting your hands dirty. It's learning through doing.
One of the primary benefits is job experience: start slow and work your way up the ladder, learning as you go. Building years' worth of on-the-job experience is excellent for your résumé and even better for future job prospects. No one graduates high school and enters directly into a high-ranking CM position.
A secondary, not oft-touted but extremely valuable benefit to working in construction is the opportunity to meet and learn from experienced construction managers who excel at their jobs. Under their guidance and tutelage, you'll gain important insight into the field. You may even gain a lifelong mentor and friend in the process. (And did you know? Having a mentor is shown to accelerate your career.)
Perhaps the greatest benefit to working in construction is the chance to sample every diverse aspect of the construction business. Try your hand at carpentry, masonry, plumbing, foundation work, steel structures, concrete and other elements of the construction business. Get an apprenticeship. Shadow building inspectors, architects, civil and structural engineers, and other professionals.
Find your passion. What parts of the construction business most excite you? What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning? Identifying your calling is invaluable, as it will guide your career and help you carve out a path that is both profitable and enjoyable.

Career Path, Step 2: Embrace Autodidactic Learning ?
Autodidactic learning is self-education – the willingness, motivation and ability to learn new things on your own.
Go-getters do very well as construction managers, because they're willing to go the extra mile for their clients. For example, if you can buckle down and slog through your city and state building codes, and understand the details in and out, up and down, backward and forward, you'll be a better hiring candidate. Explains the Princeton Review "'Expediters' who promise to obtain permits faster can charge up to $25,000 for their services, so construction managers familiar with the process [and] who can trek through local bureaucracies can save their clients a considerable amount of money."
Self-education for CMs goes far beyond an understanding of legalese and building codes: you must understand people, too. If you're interested in human psychology – in how to convince, motivate, persuade, and inspire – pick up a few books on marketing, sales and management. Learn to motivate unmotivated employees; to light a fire under your architect; and to convince your clients to sign-off on last-minute changes to the plan. These skills will make you a better, more effective manager.
Other skills are important for construction managers. According to the BLS, the essential professional skills and qualities of a construction manager include:
- Analytical skills
- Business skills
- Customer-service skills
- Decision-making skills
- Initiative
- Leadership skills
- Public speaking skills
- Technical skills (e.g. construction methodologies and technologies)
- Time-management skills
- Writing skills
If you can self-teach, you can always evolve and better your skills at construction management. Over time, you will become an invaluable employee – an in-demand manager with your pick of companies, positions and opportunities. And over time, that will translate to a better salary and greater professional satisfaction.

Career Path, Step 3: Get Educated ?
Qualifications for construction manager positions vary. Years ago, it was common for managers to work their way up through the ranks, achieving CM status through hard work and hands-on experience. Today, though a degree is not a strict requirement, all but a few CM positions prefer candidates with a college degree, certifications and other educational benchmarks.
Regardless of job requirements, there is no doubt that a degree will serve you well, granting you a deeper understanding and greater knowledge of your career's required skills. And if that's not enough motivation, try this statistic on for size: according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, earning a master's degree will more than double your earning potential over a high school diploma.
In many ways, a well-qualified CM is a jack-or-jill-of-all-trades AND, simultaneously, a master of one. To truly dominate a career in construction management, you must have a good grasp of:
- Physical science
- Mathematics
- Construction science
- Business management
- Project management
- Human resources
- Accounting
- Computing
- Civil engineering
- Architecture
- All aspects of construction: plumbing, electrical wiring, masonry, carpentry, etc.
There are several ways to pursue an education in construction management. Start with discovering your passions, as discussed above. Honing your natural interests will help guide you down the career path and educational route that will be most fulfilling. Once you've identified your strengths, it's time to pursue educational accomplishments to beef up your résumé.
Voluntary Construction Certifications
Be aware that there are two basic tiers of construction certifications: trade licensing and certification, which certify you as a plumber, electrician, mason, or other professional; and construction management certification. You'll likely need both – trade certifications first, as you're learning the ropes, and CM certification when you have some experience under your belt.
There are three advanced certifications you can look into:
The Associate Constructor (AC) certification from the American Institute of Constructors. To earn this certification, you must meet basic job requirements and pass certain construction exams.
- The Associate Constructor (AC) certification from the American Institute of Constructors. To earn this certification, you must meet basic job requirements and pass certain construction exams.
- The Certified Professional Constructor (CPC) certification, also from the American Institute of Constructors. This certification requires job experience and extensive testing.
- The Certified Construction Manager (CCM) designation from the Construction Management Association of America. This certification requires job experience, self-study, and that you pass a technical exam on legal matters, risk allocation, and your professional responsibilities as a CM.
The CMAA also offers online distance learning, CM training, and other educational programs for aspiring managers.
Two-Year Degrees in Construction Management
Several colleges, universities and technical institutes offer two-year Associates (AS or Aas) degrees in construction management and construction technology. Some options are also available online. Many of these programs offer flexible scheduling, so you can continue working, building experience, and collecting a salary while you further your education.
College Degrees in Construction Management
The BLS estimates that, "More than 100 colleges and universities offer accredited bachelor's degree programs in construction science, building science, or construction engineering." The Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) emphasizes that your educational options don't end at the bachelor's level; advanced degrees are available at numerous colleges and universities, offering master's degree programs in construction management or construction science.
Though a master's degree is not a requirement for most CM positions, if you enjoy your studies, you should seriously consider pursuing an advanced degree. Recipients of master's degrees in construction management, and especially those graduates with previous construction experience, usually become well paid and top-ranking construction managers – the very highest earners in the industry – with very large builders or construction management companies.
Wondering how you can pay for your education? Scholarships, grants and other financial aid are available to help you pay for advanced degrees, which can run into the five-figures. Certification programs are also expensive, often costing $1,000+ for a weekend course, but scholarships also cover this type of education. Additionally, your company may be willing to pay your way to certain training programs.

Master's Degree Programs from Drexel University, Purdue, University of Houston, University of Washington, NYU, University of Southern California, and many more
Career Path, Step 4: Network ?
If you're a people person, this is the fun part. Get to know your peers. Learn about the workers you manage. Develop working friendships with complementary professionals – the architects, engineers, cost estimators, landscape architects, and building inspectors you work with, everyday. The more you network, the easier your job will be.
Attend local construction conventions (there are dozens every year, in most metropolitan areas). Hobnob. Make connections. Meet new service providers and catch up with those with whom you've worked before. Stay current on new construction materials, methods and other topics of industry importance.
The real bread-and-butter of networking is construction conferences and events. You'll encounter inspiring topics, incredible innovations and loads of knowledge about your field, and you'll probably have fun in the process. Conferences and other industry events, which attract the biggest names in the industry, also increase your exposure. Don't be shy: introduce yourself to potential employers and take the opportunity to establish yourself as a leader in construction management.
Finally, send out your conference feelers far and wide: you may be a construction manager, but your job entails so much more than just construction. Consider management conferences, leadership and marketing events, and architectural conferences. Again, it all goes back to your interests: what aspects of the industry do you find most engaging? Play to them. Nurture them. And excel.

Congratulations to the Class of 2016. We are extremely proud that our students continue Wesley's tradition of academic success, as well as achieving excellence in all areas of learning. This reflects our commitment to developing the whole child and providing a true education through the timeless principles of learning - to know, to do, to live with and to be.
In 2016, 54% of our Year 12 students studied the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and 46% studied the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB DP).
Here are some highlights of their outstanding achievements:
Many of our Year 12 students have received their first choice university offers from Melbourne's top universities. With nearly 60% of our students attending the University of Melbourne and Monash University this reflects the high academic standard of teaching and learning at the College.
The class of 2016 graduating students are pursuing a diverse range of fields, reflecting their unique talents, interests and capabilities.
Jemima studied Geography, English, Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Spanish.
A Wesley education isn't just academic. It is such a well-rounded, inspiring experience. All of the opportunities on offer build upon each other to create these incredible students who have the skills and open minds to launch themselves into whichever pathway they desire."
Over my 13 years at Wesley, the co-curricular aspects were certainly a highlight. I absolutely loved the music program from a young age, especially being a part of Big Band and leading the Senior Symphonic Wind Ensemble in 2016. I had a wonderful journey with Wesley Athletics and Cross Country, being the captain of Cross Country in Year 12, where we won the premiership for the 5th year in a row in both sports.
I know I want to help others whether through medical research or human rights, and I'd love to go as far as I possibly can with my athletics career, transitioning into the 20km distances later on this year to have a shot at qualifying for the up and coming Commonwealth Games in Australia or the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Cameron studied Maths, Spanish, Chemistry, Geography, Economics and English.
In Year 12 I pushed myself to stay engaged in all the co-curricular elements that interested me. This included music, drama, sport, debating and publications to name a few. What was most interesting for me was that not only did these activities stimulate and interest me, but in almost all cases somehow linked to the work I was doing within class.
I hope to study law and pursue international diplomacy and human rights law. The current plan is to achieve this in the UK at one of their highly regarded law schools however I am evaluating all my prospective options.
Isabella studied Psychology, English Literature, Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Japanese
Rowing, cross country running, the Little Shop of Horrors musical and being the Powell house prefect were the highlights of my Senior School experience. I really had to manage my time and workload to be consistent with my studies throughout the two years and starting tasks early to fit in time for other activities was the key! I had lots of support and innumerable appointments with teachers who were extremely helpful coming up to exams and I also had my Mum proofread every single assignment.
I have made amazing friends at Wesley who will stay with me. Also, the work ethic I have obtained not only from doing IB, but completing sports like rowing, will be a great help when I commence Biomedicine and Science at University.
Michael's subjects included Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths Methods and English.
I have been at Wesley since Year 7 and have really enjoyed science, and the opportunities to get involved in science projects, in class and out. I achieved a High Distinction in the Rio Tinto Big Science Competition, as well as the Australian Science and History competition.
I played a lot of tennis at school and managed my work load by working hard, spending less time on social media and getting enough sleep. I give a lot of credit to my Mum who I relied on for support. Now I plan to study biomedicine at The University of Melbourne next year, and then pursue a degree in medicine.
James studied Specialist Maths, Maths Methods, Chemistry, Physics, English, and University Maths through the University of Melbourne Extension Program.
I will study for a Bachelor of Science at The University of Melbourne.
What will stay with me from my time at Wesley is the close friendships formed and the amount of support from everyone. It was great to be involved in music – I chose the piano, which was a nice balance to the academic study.
Kitty studied English and Japanese as Additional Languages, Chemistry, Maths Methods and Specialist Maths.
I plan to study Biomedicine or Pharmaceutical Science at University and to continue learning Japanese. My highlights were the interactions with friends and teachers, house activities and school events. When I was struggling to stay focussed on my studies I would recognise that I have too much on my plate. Then it would be time for some social outing or exercises. I really relied on the support I got from daily phone calls with my family, appointments with teachers where I sought help, and meetings with the student counsellor Ms Laing at Wesley College. Ms Liang provided me with a lot of professional suggestions on decompression, time management and self-cognition."

What the new S model inherits from the Aventador family is its extraordinary beating heart: the iconic V12 engine. It is the sign of recognition of a thoroughbred power, with its excellent acceleration performance at any engine speed, lightning-fast responsiveness, a breathtaking roar, and now a full 40 HP more to unleash on the asphalt. But Aventador S Coup will not settle for less and wants everything: the performance features of a super sports car are joined by the extreme agility and handling of the 4 Wheel Steering system for unprecedented driving dynamics, along with the possibility to have the most personal driving experience ever thanks to the brand new EGO customised driving mode.
Working on the design of an icon like Aventador means not altering its character but exalting it even more. Aventador S Coup continues to display the unmistakable Lamborghini DNA, while strengthening its mix of dynamism, refinement, and aggressiveness by means of even sharper lines inspired by nature and by aeronautics. While the hexagonal design of the new tailpipes means that the rear end is as powerful as the engine of a space shuttle, the front end features forms that recall the fins of a shark, transmitting the same force and elegance in dominating the road. But the design of a Lamborghini is never an end in itself. Each surface of the new Aventador S Coup has been studied to gain power and improve performance. Compared to the first Aventador, in fact, the new design elements provide an increase of 130% in front downforce, while the new side air vents reduce turbulence, improving cooling and increasing efficiency.

Ask Molly Sims what her favorite Christmas food is, and she'll have an answer for you in an instant: red velvet cake.
"My mom has been making red velvet cake since I was 2," Sims, 39, says of the cream-cheese-frosted confection she served at her wedding. "It's a really old family recipe. And if she's not with me for the holidays, she will literally Fed-Ex it to me on dry ice."
This year, Sims and husband Scott Stuber will be having their first Christmas at home in Beverly Hills, Calif., with their son, 5-month-old Brooks, and one of traditions that will be passed on this season is, of course, red velvet cake.
The Sims family's version is "sweet, but not too sweet," she says. "This is just the perfect balance."
Do like Sims does and make the cake with the whole family – and, of course, eat it together, too.

South Brisbane Memorial ParkPrint Page
The Memorial Park was constructed to commemorate soldiers from South Brisbane who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
The resolution giving authority to secure the area of land opposite the South Brisbane Town Hall passed at a special meeting of the South Brisbane City Council on the 20th May 1921. It was also proposed that the park be divided into 1000 squares and that squares be sold for about 60 shillings for which a certificate be issued and all money raised would go to beautifying the park in memory of the South Brisbane members of the A.I.F. in the Great War. The park was officially opened and dedicated by the Governor-General, Lord Forster on the 6th August 1923. Part of the official opening was a tree planting by Lord and Lady Forster and the Mayor and Mayoress.
The Brisbane Courier, 24th May 1921, 6th August 1923.
In March 2017, the plinth at the bottom of the stairway to the park was demolished. The Naval Association approached the park authority requesting permission to place a statue atop the plinth and permission was granted. Inspections revealed that the plinth had undergone serious failure over the years and the interior was basically rubble. The decision was made to demolish the plinth and replace it with an exact replica. A bronze statue of a sailor will be atop the new plinth and it will be the only dedicated Naval Memorial in Queensland. The restoration work is quite involved and retired tradesmen have been called in to insure a faithful replica is put in place. The works are expected to be completed in May 2017.

The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners, and incontinence pads. More particularly, the present invention relates to absorbent articles, particularly pantiliners, that can have portions thereof removed or otherwise manipulated to change, and preferably reduce, the dimensions of the absorbent article.
Absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins and pantiliners are well known for their use in absorbing and retaining liquid discharges from the human body. Sanitary napkins are used principally during a woman's menstrual period to contain menses and other vaginal discharges so as to protect garments from soiling. However, many women experience frequent or daily, light vaginal discharges between their menstrual periods. While sanitary napkins are an efficient way to deal with the problem, products such as pantiliners (or "panty liners") have been developed specifically to protect a woman's garments from soiling due to these light discharges and to provide supplemental protection for garments when other catamenial products are used during the menstrual period.
Pantiliners are generally small in size, absorbent and comfortable to use. Generally, pantiliners are intended to be affixed to the crotch region of the user's undergarment and comprise an absorbent core, a topsheet, and an impermeable backsheet located on the pantiliner's garment-facing side that acts as a fluid barrier to absorbed body liquids to protect the user's garments from staining. Examples of pantiliners are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,681,578 entitled "Pantiliner With Ventilation Areas" issued to Anderson, et al. on Jul. 21, 1987; U.S. Pat. No. 4,738,676 entitled "Pantiliner" issued to Osborn on Apr. 19, 1988; PCT Publication No. WO 96/10974 entitled "Flexible and Stretchable Absorbent Articles and Their Fixation To Undergarments", published in the name of Querqui on Apr. 18, 1996; PCT Publication No. WO 96/14034 entitled "Breathable Backsheet Design for Disposable Absorbent Articles", published in the name of Depner, et al. on May 17, 1996; PCT Publication No. WO 96/14036 entitled "Flexible and Breathable Absorbent Articles and Their Fixation to Undergarments", published in the name of Hirsch on May 17, 1996; PCT Publication No. WO 96/14036 entitled "Flexible and Water Vapour Permeable Absorbent Articles and Their Fixation to Undergarments", published in the name of Querqui on May 17, 1996; and in PCT Publication No. WO 96/14037 entitled "Breathable Dual Layer Backsheet Design for Disposable Absorbent Articles", published in the name of Depner, et al. on May 17, 1996.
Currently, pantiliners must fit a wide variety of individual panty sizes. In addition, there are a wide variety of panty styles. Thus, even if a woman has panties that are of only one size, it is likely that she will have more than one style of panty. Since the dimensions of the different styles of panties available, particularly the panty crotch dimensions thereof, can vary widely, pantiliners used by each wearer must often fit a variety of individual panty styles. Further, there are also significant differences in the styles of panties worn by women in different geographies.
Thus, a need exists for an absorbent article, particularly a pantiliner, that can be adjusted in size by a wearer to fit individual panty sizes and styles.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an absorbent article, particularly a pantiliner, that can be adjusted in size by a wearer to fit individual panty sizes and styles.
This and other objects of the present invention will be more readily apparent when considered in reference to the following description and when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners, and incontinence pads. More particularly, the present invention relates to absorbent articles, particularly pantiliners, that can have portions thereof removed or otherwise manipulated to change, and particularly reduce, the dimensions of the absorbent article so that they can fit a variety of panty sizes and styles.
The absorbent article comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet joined to the topsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article can be adjusted in size by a wearer to fit their individual panty size. In a preferred embodiment, the absorbent article is a pantiliner, and the means for adjusting the size of the absorbent article comprises at least one perforation line that is located so that a portion of said absorbent article is outboard of the perforation line. The absorbent article is adjusted in size by tearing the absorbent article along the perforation line and removing the portion of the absorbent article outboard of the perforation line.
While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as forming the present invention, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from the following description which is taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a pantiliner of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the sanitary napkin shown in FIG. 1 taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show one preferred embodiment of a disposable absorbent article of the present invention, pantiliner 20. As used herein, the term "absorbent article" refers to devices which absorb and contain body exudates, and, more specifically, refers to devices which are placed against or in proximity to the body of the wearer to absorb and contain the various exudates discharged from the body. The term "disposable" is used herein to describe absorbent articles which are not intended to be laundered or otherwise restored or reused as an absorbent article (i.e., they are intended to be discarded after a single use, and, preferably, to be recycled, composted or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner).
The pantiliner 20 has two surfaces, a liquid pervious body-contacting surface or "body surface" 20A and a liquid impervious garment surface 20B. The pantiliner 20 is shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from its body surface 20A. The body surface 20A is intended to be worn adjacent to the body of the wearer. The garment surface 20B of the pantiliner 20 (shown in FIG. 2) is on the opposite side and is intended to be placed adjacent to the wearer's undergarments when the pantiliner 20 is worn. The pantiliner 20 has two spaced apart longitudinal edges 22, two spaced apart transverse or end edges (or "ends") 24, which together form the periphery 26 of the pantiliner 20.
The pantiliner 20 has two centerlines, a longitudinal centerline L and a transverse centerline T. The term "longitudinal", as used herein, refers to a line, axis or direction in the plane of the pantiliner 20 that is generally aligned with (e.g., approximately parallel to) a vertical plane which bisects a standing wearer into left and right body halves when the pantiliner 20 is worn. The terms "transverse" or "lateral" used herein, are interchangeable, and refer to a line, axis or direction which lies within the plane of the pantiliner 20 that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. It should be understood that the pantiliner 20 shown in the drawings is merely one preferred embodiment, and that the present invention is not limited to absorbent articles of the type or having the specific configuration shown in the drawings.
The pantiliner 20 comprises a base pantiliner 20C and several removable sections (described in greater detail below). The base pantiliner 20C comprises that portion of the pantiliner that remains after all the removable sections have been removed. The pantiliner 20 of the present invention, thus, comprises the base pantiliner 20C and the removable sections. FIG. 2 shows the individual components of the pantiliner 20 of the present invention. The pantiliner 20 generally comprises at least three primary components. These include a liquid pervious topsheet 28, a liquid impervious backsheet 30, and an absorbent core 32 positioned between the topsheet 28 and the backsheet 30.
The topsheet 28 is compliant, soft feeling, and non-irritating to the wearer's skin. Further, the topsheet 28 is liquid pervious permitting liquids (e.g., menses and/or urine) to readily penetrate through its thickness. A suitable topsheet 28 may be manufactured from a wide range of materials such as cellulosic fobrous structures (as described below); woven and nonwoven materials; polymeric materials such as apertured formed thermoplastic films, apertured plastic films, and hydroformed thermoplastic films; porous foams; reticulated foams; reticulated thermoplastic films; and thermoplastic scrims. Suitable woven and nonwoven materials can be comprised of natural fibers (e.g., wood or cotton fibers), synthetic fibers (e.g., polymeric fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, or polyethylene fibers) or from a combination of natural and synthetic fibers.
Apertured formed films are often preferred for the topsheet because they are pervious to body exudates and, if properly apertured, have a reduced tendency to allow liquids to pass back through and rewet the wearer's skin. Thus, the surface of the formed film which is in contact with the body remains dry, thereby reducing body soiling and creating a more comfortable feel for the wearer. Suitable formed films are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,135, entitled "Absorptive Structures Having Tapered Capillaries", which issued to Thompson on Dec. 30, 1975; U.S. Pat. No. 4,324,246 entitled "Disposable Absorbent Article Having A Stain Resistant Topsheet", which issued to Mullane, et al. on Apr. 13, 1982; U.S. Pat. No. 4,342,314 entitled "Resilient Plastic Web Exhibiting Fiber-Like Properties", which issued to Radel, et al. on Aug. 3, 1982; U.S. Pat. No. 4,463,045 entitled "Macroscopically Expanded Three-Dimensional Plastic Web Exhibiting Non-Glossy Visible Surface and Cloth-Like Tactile Impression", which issued to Ahr, et al. on Jul. 31, 1984; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,006,394 "Multilayer Polymeric Film" issued to Baird on Apr. 9, 1991. Preferred apertured film topsheets are described in one or more of the above patents and marketed on sanitary napkins by The Procter & Gamble Company of Cincinnati, Ohio as "DRI-WEAVE" topsheets.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the body surface of the topsheet 28 is hydrophilic so as to help liquid to transfer through the topsheet 28 faster than if the body surface was not hydrophilic. This diminishes the likelihood that menstrual fluid will flow off the topsheet rather than flowing into and being absorbed by the absorbent core. The body surface of the topsheet 28 can be made hydrophilic by treating it with a surfactant in any of the manners described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,950,254 issued to Osborn.
The absorbent core 32 may be any absorbent means which is capable of absorbing or retaining liquids (e.g., menses and/or urine). The absorbent core 32 may be manufactured in a wide variety of sizes and shapes (e.g., rectangular, oval, hourglass, dog bone, asymmetric, etc.) and from a wide variety of liquid-absorbent materials commonly used in pantiliners, sanitary napkins, and other absorbent articles. One commonly used absorbent material in pantiliners, is comminuted wood pulp which is generally referred to as airfelt. Examples of other suitable absorbent materials include creped cellulose wadding; meltblown polymers including coform; chemically stiffened, modified or cross-linked cellulosic fibers; synthetic fibers such as crimped polyester fibers; peat moss; tissue including tissue wraps and tissue laminates; absorbent foams; absorbent sponges; superabsorbent polymers; absorbent gelling materials; or any equivalent material or combinations of materials, or mixtures of these. The configuration and construction of the absorbent core may also be varied (e.g., the absorbent core may have varying caliper zones), hydrophilic gradients, superabsorbent gradients, or lower density and lower average basis weight acquisition zones; or may comprise one or more layers or structures). The total absorbent capacity of the absorbent core should, however, be compatible with the design loading and the intended use of the absorbent article. Further, the size and absorbent capacity of the absorbent core may be varied to accommodate different uses such as incontinence pads, pantiliners, regular sanitary napkins, or overnight sanitary napkins.
The backsheet 30 is impervious to liquids (e.g., menses and/or urine) and is preferably manufactured from a thin plastic film, although other flexible liquid impervious materials may also be used. As used herein, the term "flexible" refers to materials which are compliant and will readily conform to the general shape and contours of the human body. The backsheet 30 prevents the exudates absorbed and contained in the absorbent core 32 from wetting articles which contact the pantiliner 20 such as pants, pajamas and undergarments. The backsheet 30 may thus comprise a woven or nonwoven material, polymeric films such as thermoplastic films of polyethylene or polypropylene, or composite materials such as a film-coated nonwoven material. Preferably, the backsheet 30 is a polyethylene film having a thickness of from about 0.012 mm (0.5 mil) to about 0.051 mm (2.0 mils). Exemplary polyethylene films are manufactured by Clopay Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio, under the designation DH 226. The backsheet may also be embossed and/or matte finished to provide a more clothlike appearance. Further, the backsheet 30 may permit vapors to escape from the absorbent core 32 (i.e., it may be breathable) while still preventing exudates from passing through the backsheet 30.
In the preferred embodiment shown in the drawings, the topsheet 28 comprises a cellulosic fibrous structure. A preferred cellulosic fibrous structure is provided with two (or more) regions, one of which is a network region which is essentially continuous, macroscopically monoplanar, and is formed into a preselected pattern. The other region comprises discrete low density zones or apertures. A suitable cellulosic fibrous structure is one that is made according to the description of U.S. Pat. No. 4,514,345, issued to Johnson, et al. in Columns 8-9 using the foraminous member shown in FIG. 4 of the Johnson, et al. patent. Other suitable cellulosic structures can be made according to the description in U.S. Pat. No. 5,425,025 issued to Trokhan, et al. In this preferred embodiment, the absorbent core 32 comprises two layers of 35 pound basis weight Ft. Howard tissue obtained from Fort Howard Corporation of Green Bay, Wis. Other suitable tissues can be obtained from Merfin Hygiene Products Ltd., Delta, BC, Canada. The backsheet 30 preferably comprises a sheet of Clopay DH 226 polyethylene film. The topsheet 28, the backsheet 30, and the absorbent core 32 may be assembled in a variety of configurations known in the art (including so called "sandwich" products and "tube" products).
The topsheet 28 and the backsheet 30 are positioned adjacent the body surface and the garment surface, respectively, of the absorbent core 32 and are preferably joined thereto and to each other by attachment means such as those well known in the art. For example, the topsheet 28 and/or the backsheet 30 may be secured to the absorbent core 32 or to each other by a uniform continuous layer of adhesive, a patterned layer of adhesive, or an array of separate lines, spirals, or spots of adhesive. Adhesives which have been found to be satisfactory are manufactured by H. B. Fuller Company of St. Paul, Minn. under the designation HL-1258 or H-2031. The attachment means will preferably comprise an open pattern network of filaments of adhesive as is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,573,986 entitled "Disposable Waste-Containment Garment", which issued to Minetola, et al. on Mar. 4, 1986. An exemplary attachment means of an open pattern network of filaments comprises several lines of adhesive filaments swirled into a spiral pattern such as illustrated by the apparatus and method shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,911,173 issued to Sprague, Jr. on Oct. 7, 1975; U.S. Pat. No. 4,785,996 issued to Ziecker, et al. on Nov. 22, 1978; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,666 issued to Werenicz on Jun. 27, 1989. Alternatively, the attachment means may comprise heat bonds, pressure bonds, ultrasonic bonds, dynamic mechanical bonds, or any other suitable attachment means or combinations of these attachment means as are known in the art.
The garment surface 20B of the pantiliner 20 may include, and preferably does include, a fastener for attaching the pantiliner to the wearer's undergarment. FIG. 2 shows the panty fastener 34 that is adapted to secure the pantiliner 20 to the crotch region of an undergarment. Any types of fasteners known in the art can be used. Fasteners comprising adhesives have been found to work well for this purpose, with pressure-sensitive adhesives being preferred. The panty fastener 34 can be provided in any suitable configuration. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the panty fastener 34 covers substantially all of the backsheet 30. Before the pantiliner 20 is placed in use, if an adhesive fastener is used, the adhesive is typically covered with a removable cover strip or release liner 36 in order to keep the adhesive from sticking to a surface other than the crotch portion of the panty prior to use. Suitable release liners are described in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,917,697.
The pantiliner 20 can be of any suitable size and shape. Preferably, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the base pantiliner 20C is about 163 mm long as measured in the longitudinal direction, and about 51 mm wide (measured in the transverse direction) at its narrowest point. The overall pantiliner 20 is about 185 mm long as measured in the longitudinal direction, and about 73 mm wide at its narrowest point.
The pantiliner 20 has portions or sections thereof that can be removed, or otherwise manipulated by the user to change, and particularly to reduce, the dimensions of the pantiliner 20. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the pantiliner 20 is provided with a plurality of perforations arranged in the form of perforation lines, designated generally by reference number 38. Preferably, the perforation lines 38 in this embodiment comprise two perforation lines, comprising a first (or "inner") perforation line 40 and a second (or "outer") perforation line 42. The first and second perforation lines 40 and 42 may be provided in any suitable configuration. Preferably, the perforation lines are provided in the same general configuration as the periphery 26 of the pantiliner. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the inner perforation line 40 is spaced a distance of about 10 mm inward (or "inboard") from the periphery 26 of the pantiliner. The outer perforation line 42 is spaced a distance of about 5 mm inward from the periphery 26 of the pantiliner 20. The pantiliner 20 can, thus, be adjusted in size about 20 mm in its longitudinal dimension and in its transverse dimension. In other embodiments, the size of the pantiliner (or other absorbent article) can be adjusted in any other suitable mounts.
The perforation lines 38 are preferably comprised of a plurality of spaced apart slits. The slits should be long enough to allow easy tearing and removal of the portions of the pantiliner located outboard of the perforation lines (designated generally by reference number 44) without leaving ragged edges along the sides of the pantiliner softer removal of the outer portions. The perforation lines 38 preferably extend completely through the pantiliner 20 and any release paper 36 covering the panty fastener 34 on the garment-facing side thereof 20B. In other embodiments, however, the perforation lines need not be formed into the release paper 36 so that the consumer only has a single piece of release paper to handle and dispose.
The perforation lines 38 are preferably provided with extensions (designated generally by reference number 46) that extend between the peripheral-shaped portions of the perforation lines and the periphery 26 of the pantiliner. These extensions 46 of the perforation lines 38 comprise longitudinally-oriented extensions 48 and laterally-oriented extensions 50. The longitudinally-oriented extensions 48, together with the perforation lines that they are extensions of, allow portions that make up the width of the pantiliner to be removed without altering the lengthwise dimension of the pantiliner. The laterally-oriented extensions 50 of the perforation lines, together with the perforation lines that they are extensions of, allow portions of the length of the pantiliner to be removed without altering the widthwise dimension of the pantiliner.
The pantiliner 20 of the present invention is used by comparing the size of the pantiliner to the size of the crotch of the wearer's panties. The wearer then removes any desired portions of the pantiliner located outboard of the perforation lines 38 so that the pantiliner will be of the size desired to fit into the wearer's panties. The release liner 36 on the remainder of the pantiliner is removed, and the pantiliner 20 is placed in a panty so that the adhesive (or other fastener) 34 contacts the panty and maintains the pantiliner in position within the panty during use.
Numerous alternative embodiments of the present invention are possible. For example, the absorbent article can have portions that are folded back at perforation lines, or other lines of weakness, rather than being removed at perforation lines. The panty fastener on the back of such folded back portions could secure the folded back portions to the remaining portion of the absorbent article.
In these or other alternative embodiments, the pantiliner, or other absorbent article, can be provided with odor control properties (for example, the pantiliner may comprise a mixture of zeolite A, absorbent gelling material, and polyethylene powder that is homogeneously blended and applied to the absorbent core). The pantiliner may also be flushable and incorporate the technology described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/561,989 entitled "Water Dispersible and Flushable Absorbent Article", filed in the name of Christon, et al. on Nov. 22, 1995. The pantiliner may also be comprised of one or more extensible components such as those sanitary napkins, and the like described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/915,133 filed Jul. 23, 1992, in the name of Osborn, et al. (PCT Publication No. WO 93/01785, published Feb. 4, 1993), now pending in the form of allowed continuation application Ser. No. 08/503,895, filed on Jul. 18, 1995; and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/915,284 filed Jul. 23, 1992, in the name of Osborn, et al. (PCT Publication No. 93/01786, published Feb. 4, 1993), now pending in the form of allowed divisional application Ser. Nos. 08/472,156 and 08/476,238, filed on Jun. 7, 1995.
In these or other alternative embodiments of the present invention, the pantiliner can have two flaps each of which are adjacent to and extend laterally from the side edge of the absorbent core. The flaps are preferably configured to drape over the edges of the wearer's panties in the crotch region so that the flaps are disposed between the edges of the wearer's panties and the thighs. The flaps serve at least two purposes. First, the flaps help serve to prevent soiling of the wearer's body and panties by menstrual fluid, preferably by forming a double wall barrier along the edges of the panty. Second, the flaps are preferably provided with attachment means on their garment surface so that the flaps can be folded back under the panty and attached to the garment facing side of the panty or to the other flap. In this way, the flaps serve to keep the absorbent article properly positioned in the panty. The flaps can be constructed of various materials including materials similar to the topsheet, backsheet, tissue, or combination of these materials. Further, the flaps may be a separate element attached to the main body of the absorbent article or can comprise extensions of the topsheet and backsheet (i.e., unitary). A number of absorbent articles having flaps suitable or adaptable for use with the absorbent article of the present invention are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,687,478 entitled "Shaped Sanitary Napkin With Flaps", which issued to Van Tilburg on Aug. 18, 1987; U.S. Pat. No. 4,589,876 entitled "Sanitary Napkin", which issued to Van Tilburg on May 20, 1986; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,047, entitled "Sanitary Napkin Attachment Means", which issued to Mattingly on Aug. 26, 1986. The absorbent articles can be provided with a feature, such as perforations, that allows the side of the flaps to be adjusted.
Other embodiments of the absorbent articles described herein are also possible. For example, in alternative embodiments, instead of being provided with flaps, the absorbent article could be provided with undergarment covering components or ("side wrapping elements") that have a smaller span than conventionally sized flaps and that do not have to be manipulated by the wearer when placed in the wearer's undergarments. These side wrapping elements can also be provided with a feature that allows them to be adjusted in size. Absorbent articles having side wrapping elements are described in allowed U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/096,121 entitled "Absorbent Articles Having Panty Covering Components That Naturally Wrap the Sides of Panties" filed Jul. 22, 1993, in the name of Lavash, et al. (PCT Publication No. WO 94/02096, published Feb. 3, 1994); U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/124,180 entitled "Absorbent Articles Having Panty Covering Components Comprising Extensible Web Materials Which Exhibit Elastic-Like Behavior" filed Sep. 17, 1993, in the name of Mansfield, et al. (PCT Publication No. WO 95/07675, published Mar. 23, 1995); and U.S. Pat. No. 5,558,663 entitled "Absorbent Articles Having Undergarment Covering Components With Zones of Extensibility" issued to Weinberger, et al. on Sep. 24, 1996.
As discussed above, the adjustable feature of the present invention can be provided on other types of absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins and incontinence articles. The term "sanitary napkin" refers to an absorbent article which is worn by females adjacent to the pudendal region, generally external to the urogenital region, and which is intended to absorb and contain menstrual fluids and other vaginal discharges from the wearer's body (e.g., blood, menses, and urine). As used herein, the term "pudendal" refers to the externally visible female genitalia. Preferred sanitary napkin configurations are described generally in U.S. Pat. No. 4,950,264, "Thin, Flexible Sanitary Napkin" issued to Osborn on Aug. 21, 1990; U.S. Pat. No. 4,425,130, "Compound Sanitary Napkin" issued to DesMarais on Jan. 10, 1984; U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,924, and "Bordered Disposable Absorbent Article" issued to Ahr on Mar. 30, 1982. Interlabial devices which reside within, or partially within and partially external of the wearer's vestibule are also within the scope of this invention.
The term "incontinence article" refers to pads, undergarments (pads held in place by a suspension system of same type, such as a belt, or the like), inserts for absorbent articles, capacity boosters for absorbent articles, briefs, bed pads, and the like, regardless of whether they are worn by adults or other incontinent persons. Suitable incontinence articles that can be provided with the adjustable feature described herein are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,300,054 issued to Feist, et al. on Apr. 5, 1994 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,304,161 issued to Noel, et al. Apr. 19, 1994.
The disclosures of all patents, patent applications (and any patents which issue thereon, as well as any corresponding published foreign patent applications), and publications mentioned throughout this patent application are hereby incorporated by reference herein. It is expressly not admitted, however, that any of the documents incorporated by reference herein teach or disclose the present invention. It is also expressly not admitted that any of the commercially available materials or products described herein teach or disclose the present invention.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

"And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. "
Last September, I was visiting my daughter in New York. One day, we went for a walk in downtown Troy, NY. The day was perfect! It was clear and cool, only warm in the sun. Natalie was with us, just one year old then. We had coffee and gormet pastry at an upscale coffee shop and then we wandered around from shop to shop.Troy is an interesting town. It's in a valley on the Hudson River. It has a large Arts community and many of the downtown shops cater to both art lovers and artists. There were also many antique stores and resale stores. One in particular we visited was an antique/resale store and was done up all nostagically. I love the feeling you get in those kind of places. Everything you touch has a history and it's fun to try to imagine what the people were like who originally owned the merchandise. That's where I found the pieces to a quilt that someone had dreamed of making, but never did. They were triangles of fabric from the 40's - 60's, judging from the prints; probably remnents of clothing either made or worn, since hardly 2 had a twin. It was a real scrap piece find!Later I was talking to my daughter about the pieces, thinking out loud about what a great quilt they'd make, looking at each piece and thinking the of person who made them, who probably hand drew a pattern on the back of a cereal box or something in a kitchen with "That Green" walls and traced each one onto any fabric big enough to receive it and then cut each one out with scissors...funny, we think this is quaint now days, don't we. We have rotary cutters to do the job and special rulers to make it easy.At some point in our discussion, I learned that my daughter would love a quilt made from these pieces. Of course it would have to be for her! That day meant a lot to me...just walking around window shopping with her and the baby. I don't get many days like that period, much less with my beautiful daughter and grand daughter! So it was settled. It would be her quilt.When I got home, I started playing with the pieces. "Now why didn't this person finish this quilt?", I wondered. I had a bonified mystery right there in my hands. Did this person just get boared with the idea? Did they have a house fire and this was one of the few things salvaged? Did they die?... or maybe one of their loved ones died and they just couldn't stand the thought of working with this fabric any more....There were probably a million possibilities, but I preferred to think on the romantic ones...Oh the poor dear....I won't let your precious work go to the heap~~~There were'nt enough to make a very big quilt; just barely enough for large a wall hanging and all together they were quite busy. Then I decided to alternate them with muslin triangles. That's when I discovered the most likely reason why a quilt wasn't made from them. Although they looked like perfect Isosceles triangles, they were not. One side was a little shorter than the other. I had to make a template the shape of one of the triangles and use that trace each triangle onto the muslin. Although I could still cut them with a rotary cutter, The process still took awhile. I pieced them by machine and I remember thinking I was glad they were triangles. Not many of them were actually cut on the straight of grain. The extra bias was a help in getting everything to fit together. The muslin gave the pieces a stability as they were cut on the straight of grain. All in all it went together well, all in a long afternoon's sewing.It occurred to me while stitching the binding down that perhaps the person who cut these triangles did make a quilt and had her more undesirable choices left over ( a couple of the triangles were pieced together; perfectly so, I might add)....hmmm....I have since decided to think they were never made into a quilt because of one of the reasons mentioned above...it's more interesting that way...more romantic and meaningful.At any rate, here it is, not quite a year later. I think it's a handsome quilt. I've named it :Living Stones" from 1 Peter 2:5. It is machine pieced and hand quiltedI had to wait to post this because my daughter wanted to see the quilt in person, not on the internet. I have to say that it was pretty wonderful being in her livingroom and seeing her face when she got it. This morning we had devotions on her pull out couch and all the kids were together on it. That's exactly what I had in mind when I thought of her using this quilt.What a wonderful art-form quilting is!
Oh Linty, it came out beautifully. I am sure your daughter will always treasure the day you found the pieces and the quilt you made her. Isn't finding things like this just wonderful? Really good job and someday your grand daughter can tell her children about the day her grandmother and mom found the pieces.
Sorry about the mispelled name Linny.
Linny, what a wonderful story and what a treasure. When you think of the quilt and your daughter using it I'm sure it warms a mother's heart. The quilt is beautiful!!!
Thanks very much to both of you.
Linny, that is a wonderful story! My mom liked to find quilt blocks that had never been made into the finished quilt. Like you, I'm sure she envisioned a story about the reason the blocks were still just blocks. I never asked, though, because I wasn't into quilting at that time. I have one of the finished quilts she made. I should get it out. I also have some blocks she bought that she never got to finish making into a quilt. I think once I get the quilts finished for my friend the Cancer Society, I'll do that one next. I love your finished piece!
Linny, You're story brought tears of joy to my eyes. The expression in the details was quite overwhelming. What a beautiful tribute your quilt has made, not only to your daughter and grandaughter, but the original owner of the fabrics and to God. Many blessings to you and your family and thank you for sharing your story in such an eloquent form. Wonderfully executed story and beautiful quilt! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Judy. My Mom didn't quilt, but she crocheted. She made table cloths and doilies. I have her last pieces made and I love to touch them and think of her hands working on them. I want to work them into a quilt sometime soon. She's gone now, so handling those pieces is still an emotional thing for me. I want to make a kind of tribute to the work of her hands.
Quilting is so much more than...well, just quilting. It's a true expression of ourselves and in the process it is impossible to not get our lives and memories woven into it.
Thanks, Stephanie. It thrills me that my story moved you. God bless you and yours as well!
Beautiful quilt, heart-warming story. Quilting is indeed "a true expression of ourselves" Thank you for sharing with us a little piece of yourself in this extraordinary treasure you've created for your daughter's family
It was just now I checked your blog. I have only recently discovered them. What a beautiful story for a beautiful quilt. You have the eyes and heart that such for beauty. You will find it again.
What a beautiful story and quilt. Make me want to go out looking for left behind pieces and blocks.
Linny you did a wonderful job on this quilt. The story behind it is amazing. thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful story and quilt? It will make such a rich family story for your granddaughter to hear and later tell to her daughter.

Unable to keep Cristobal Huet in the fold, Washington GM George McPhee went for the second-best option on the free-agent market and signed former Vezina and Hart Trophy winner Jose Theodore to a two-year, $9 million deal.
TSN of Canada first reported the signing.
Huet was sensational for the Capitals, going 11-2 down the stretch after being acquired from Montreal at the trade deadline. He was steady, if unspectacular, in the Caps' seven-game, first-round loss to Philadelphia, but the two sides couldn't agree on a long-term deal.
In Theodore, the Capitals will be bringing in as many questions as answers.
Do the defending Southeast Division champs get the netminder who stood on his head in the first round of the playoffs, or the one that fell to pieces in the second round as Colorado was swept by Detroit?
Theodore, who will be 32 when the 2008-09 season opens, played his best hockey last season after being anointed the No. 1 goalie in Colorado.
The Avalanche, in turn, signed Andrew Raycroft to a one-year, $800,000 deal, according to TSN of Canada. Raycroft had been placed on unconditional waivers last week by the Toronto Maple Leafs, who bought out the final year of his contract.

I just thought to write something different today.. Today, my article is about eBay.. Most of guys already know about this... but most of them are bit scared to deal with eBay.. This is why i thought to write this type of an article.
PayPal is the preferred payment method for most eBay users. It lets us send payments quickly and securely online using a credit card or bank account. In that way we can hide our personal details such as credit cards numbers and bank account numbers from other people.
There are few things u should really consider about when u buy something from eBay. Those are
1) It's better if u can buy ur item from a top rated seller.
2) Check his/her ratings
3) Check the price of the item
4) Check whether the free shipping is available for ur country. If not then check the shipping cost for ur country.
5) Check whether the insurance fee is required or not.
Enough for today guys..!! If u have any probs then ask me.. :) I'll give u more details about eBay later...

Watch: Teen (16) receives death threats after becoming victim of internet hoax on Facebook
Emotional Irish mother makes desperate plea about the dangers of social media
The parents of a 16-year-old teen who was the victim of an internet hoax have released a video on Facebook clearing their son's name and highlighting the dangers of social media.
The video features Joe and Sue Davis, of Ballivor, Co Meath and their son Daniel, along with the teen who initially started the hoax and his father.
It was wrongly alleged that Daniel was involved in a burglary where he assaulted an elderly woman in Kinnegad, Co. Westmeath on Halloween night.
The post also asked people to report any sightings of the 16-year-old to Trim Garda station.
The post has since gone viral and amassed more than 320,000 views.
Speaking from her home, Ms Davis, who appeared visibly distraught, said she now fears for her son's safety.
"I just want [to show] how severe it is that a child can be slated in a situation where he didn't actually do anything wrong and want to let you know how worried I am [as a parent]. I'm afraid something is going to happen to him.
"I just want to get the message out there to people that shows the impact of the silliness of kids who put up things like this.
The teen who started the hoax apologised in the video for what he done.
"I want to apologise to Daniel and his family for causing this stress and for making that fake post about him. It's gotten to the point where threats are being made against him over the post which isn't true. It was supposed to be a laugh that got out of hand."
The father of the prankster also expressed his condemnation of his son's actions.
"My son will be totally chastised as a result of this. I don't want anyone else putting up anything like this up about anyone. I don't condone this act or anything done against any child. I'm really sorry to Danny for what happened.
Daniel, who spoke briefly about the hoax said: "I didn't do anything … I'm not a scumbag, that's all I have to say."
