This case is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/322,612 filed May 28, 1999, now abandoned, with the same inventors and assignee, and claims priority therefrom.
This invention relates to absorbent articles, particularly absorbent structures that are useful in personal care products such as disposable diapers, incontinence guards, childcare training pants, feminine hygiene products and the like. (The reference to �diapers� in the title is merely illustrative).
Personal care products include absorbent articles like diapers, training pants, incontinence devices, feminine hygiene products and the like. These products are designed to absorb and contain body exudates and are generally single-use or disposable items which are discarded after a relatively short period of use�usually a period of hours�and are not intended to be washed and reused. Such products are placed against or in proximity to the wearer's body to absorb and contain various exudates discharged from the body. All of these products typically include a liquid permeable bodyside liner or cover, a liquid impermeable outer cover or backsheet, and an absorbent structure disposed between the bodyside liner and outer cover. The liquid impermeable outer cover may be breathable, i.e., permeable to water vapor.
It has been found that urination can occur at rates as high as 15 to 20 milliliters per second and at velocities as high as 280 centimeters per second. The volume of urine released per occurrence can vary from about a nominal amount to about 100 ml. It's important for the absorbent article to rapidly uptake liquid to avoid excessive pooling of liquid on the body-facing surface of the bodyside liner in order to avoid leakage. Even if absorbed, however, any liquid in the article contributes to the overall humidity near the wearer' skin, causing discomfort and potential skin health problems due to skin hydration.
The problem of excessive humidity near the skin in an absorbent article has been addressed in the art through a number of means. U.S. Pat. No. 5,137,525 for example, uses mechanical means to increase airflow in the article. Breathable outer covers allow air and water vapor diffusion and have been mentioned previously. Osmotic agents have been investigated for use in personal care products to a minor extent. U.S. Pat. No. 5,108,383 to Lloyd White, dated Apr. 28, 1992, for example, discusses the use of materials such as sodium chloride, sugars and other water soluble salts as osmotic promoters in diapers and the like. The agent is enclosed in a film packet or bag that is placed in the article to encourage the absorption of large quantities of liquid. White teaches that the packet, which could also include wood fluff and other absorbing materials, outer non-absorbing sheets, fasteners and the like, is placed in a composite structure designed to pick up and retain fluids. The osmotic agent does not leave the packet but encourages the flow of liquid into the packet by osmotic pressure so the packet functions like a layer of superabsorbent, absorbing large volumes of fluid.
Despite these attempts, the need exists for further improvement in the reduction of skin hydration within absorbent articles. In particular, there is a need for agents that can remove water from the skin or reduce water absorption into the skin. The present invention provides for such reduced skin hydration within an ab sorbent article. More particularly, the invention relates to absorbent articles that reduce the hydration of the skin by modifying osmotic pressure through the use of agents.
A personal care product having an osmolality changing agent incorporated into it achieves the objects of this invention. The osmolality changing agent functions by dissolving in the water (urine) released by the wearer, thus increasing the concentration of the agent in the water in the product and causing molecular water to pass outwardly through the skin cellular boundary to dilute the solution by osmotic action. The agent can reduce skin hydration significantly. Since intracellular fluid (fluid within cells) has an osmolality of about 300 milliosmoles per kilogram (mOs/kg), a solution outside of the cell, e.g., outside of the body, must have an osmolality of greater than about 300 mOs/kg in order to cause water to move from the interior of the cell to the exterior. Such a material may preferably be used in modern fiber forming processes like spunbonding and meltblowing. The reduction of skin hydration may reduce skin redness and irritation.
�Disposable� includes being disposed of after usually a single use and not intended to be washed and reused.
�Layer� when used in the singular can have the dual meaning of a single element or a plurality of elements.
�Liquid� means a nongaseous substance and/or material that flows and can assume the interior shape of a container into which it is poured or placed.
�Liquid communication� means that liquid such as urine is able to travel from one location to another location.
�Particles� refers to any geometric form such as, but not limited to, spherical grains, cylindrical fibers or strands, or the like.
�Spunbonded fibers� refers to small diameter fibers which are formed by extruding molten thermoplastic material as filaments from a plurality of fine capillaries of a spinneret.
Such a process is disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,340,563 to Appel et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 3,692,618 to Dorschner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,802,817 to Matsuki et al., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,338,992 and 3,341,394 to Kinney, U.S. Pat. No. 3,502,763 to Hartman, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,542,615 to Dobo et al. The fibers may also have shapes such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,277,976 to Hogle et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,466,410 to Hills and U.S Pat. No. 5,069,970 and 5,057,368 to Largman et al., which describe fibers with unconventional shapes.
�Meltblown fibers� means fibers formed by extruding a molten thermoplastic material through a plurality of fine die capillaries as molten filaments into converging high velocity, usually hot, gas (e.g. air) streams which attenuate the filaments of molten thermoplastic material to reduce their diameter. Such a process is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,241. Meltblown fibers are microfibers which may be continuous or discontinuous, and are generally smaller than 10 microns in average diameter.
�Conjugate fibers� refers to fibers which have been formed from at least two polymers arranged in substantially constantly positioned distinct zones across the cross-section of the fibers and which extend continuously along the length of the fibers. Conjugate fibers are taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,108,820 to Kaneko et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,552 to Strack et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 5,382,400 to Pike et al.
�Biconstituent fibers� refers to fibers, which have been formed from at least two polymers extruded from the same extruder as a blend. Fibers of this general type are discussed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,108,827 to Gessner
�Bonded carded web� refers to webs that are made from staple fibers which are sent through a combing or carding unit, which separates or breaks apart and aligns the staple fibers in the machine direction to form a generally machine direction-oriented fibrous nonwoven web. Such fibers are usually purchased in bales, which are placed in an opener/blender, or picker, which separates the fibers prior to the carding unit. Once the web is formed, it then is bonded by one or more of several known bonding methods. One such bonding method is powder bonding, wherein a powdered adhesive is distributed through the web and then activated, usually by heating the web and adhesive with hot air. Another suitable bonding method is pattern bonding, wherein heated calender rolls or ultrasonic bonding equipment are used to bond the fibers together, usually in a localized bond pattern, though the web can be bonded across its entire surface if so desired. Another suitable and well-known bonding method, particularly when using conjugate staple fibers, is through-air bonding.
�Airlaying� is a well-known process by which a fibrous nonwoven layer can be formed. In the airlaying process, bundles of small fibers having typical lengths ranging from about 3 to about 19 millimeters (mm) are separated and entrained in an air supply and then deposited onto a forming screen, usually with the assistance of a vacuum supply. The randomly deposited fibers then are bonded to one another using, for example, hot air or a spray adhesive.
�Personal care product� means diapers, training pants, absorbent underpants, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, wound care items like bandages, and other articles.
Armband Skin Hydration Test�The purpose of this test is to mimic the wearing of a wet diaper by a baby and to then measure the effect of the moisture on the skin. A model personal care product about 4 by 12 inches (10 by 30.5 cm) is made using typical diaper liner, absorbent and film (outercover). Leg elastic is used along the long edges. This model is stretched in length, wrapped around the forearm of a volunteer, and secured with tape. The tape is placed in the length direction of the product so it does not contact the skin. Elastic netting is stretched and placed over the model to hold it in place on the forearm. The desired amount of liquid is injected between the skin and the model. The armbands are worn for 1 hour and the skin hydration assessed using an Evaporimeter model ServoMed EP1, made by ServoMed AB in Stockholm, Sweden, by placing the Evaporimeter sensor on the skin. Evaporimeter results are reported in g/m2 in two minutes.
Traditional absorbent systems for personal care products may be generalized as having the functions of surge control and containment (retention) or SC.
Surge control materials, the �S� in SC, are provided to quickly accept the incoming insult and either absorb, hold, channel or otherwise manage the liquid so that it does not leak outside the article. The surge layer may also be referred to as an intake layer, transfer layer, transport layer and the like. A surge material must typically be capable of handling an incoming insult of between about 60 and 100 ml at an insult volumetric flow rate of from about 5 to 20 ml/sec, for infants, for example. Containment or retention materials, the �C� in SC, must absorb the insult quickly and efficiently. They are in liquid communication with the surge layer and should be capable of pulling the liquid from the surge layer and absorbing the liquid without significant blocking of penetration of liquid further into the absorbent. Retention materials are often high rate superabsorbent materials such as blends of polyacrylate superabsorbent and fluff. These materials rapidly absorb and hold liquid.
In addition to the surge control and containment materials in traditional absorbent systems, recent work has introduced another layer interposed between the S and C layers and in liquid communication with them. This new layer is a distribution layer, producing a system with surge control, distribution and containment or �SDC�.
Distribution materials, the �D� in SDC, must be capable of moving fluid from the point of initial deposition to where storage is desired. Distribution must take place at an acceptable rate such that the target insult area, generally the crotch area, is ready for the next insult. By �ready for the next insult� it is meant that sufficient liquid has been moved out of the target zone so that the next insult results in liquid absorption and runoff within acceptable volumes. The time between insults can range from just a few minutes to hours, generally depending on the age of the wearer.
Absorbent products such as, for example, diapers, generally also have a liner which goes against the wearer and a backsheet which is the most exterior layer. An absorbent product may also contain other layers as well.
The liner is sometimes referred to as a bodyside liner or topsheet and is adjacent the surge material. In the thickness direction of the article, the liner material is the layer against the wearer's skin and so the first layer in contact with liquid or other exudate from the wearer. The liner further serves to isolate the wearer's skin from the liquids held in an absorbent structure and should be compliant, soft feeling and non-irritating.
Various materials can be used in forming the bodyside liner of the present invention, including apertured plastic films, woven fabrics, nonwoven webs, porous foams, reticulated foams and the like. Nonwoven materials have been found particularly suitable for use in forming the bodyside liner. These include spunbond or meltblown webs of polyolefin, polyester, polyamide (or other like fiber forming polymer) filaments, or bonded carded webs of natural polymers (for example, rayon or cotton fibers) and/or synthetic polymers (for example, polypropylene or polyester) fibers. The nonwoven web can be surface treated with a selected amount of surfactant, such as TRITON� X-102 or ACHOVEL� surfactant in an amount between about 0.05 and 0.5 weight percent, or otherwise processed to impart the desired level of wettability and hydrophilicity. If a surfactant is used, it can be an internal additive that migrates to the surface or applied to the web by any conventional means, such as spraying, printing, dipping, brush coating and the like.
The surge layer is most typically interposed between and in intimate, liquid communicating contact with the bodyside liner and another layer such as a distribution or retention layer. The surge layer is generally subjacent the inner (unexposed) surface of bodyside liner. To further enhance liquid transfer, it can be desirable to attach the upper and/or lower surfaces of the surge layer to the liner and the distribution layer, respectively. Suitable conventional attachment techniques may be utilized, including without limitation, adhesive bonding (using water-based, solvent-based and thermally activated adhesives), thermal bonding, ultrasonic bonding, needling and pin aperturing, as well as combinations of the foregoing or other appropriate attachment methods. If, for example, the surge layer is adhesively bonded to the bodyside liner, the amount of adhesive add-on should be sufficient to provide the desired level(s) of bonding, without excessively restricting the flow of liquid from the liner into the surge layer. Various woven and nonwoven webs and foams can be used to construct a surge layer. For example, the surge layer may be a nonwoven fabric layer composed of a meltblown or spunbond web of polyolefin filaments. Such nonwoven fabric layers may include conjugate, biconstituent and homopolymer fibers of staple or other lengths and mixtures of such fibers with other types of fibers. The surge layer also can be a bonded-carded web or an airlaid web composed of natural and/or synthetic fibers. The bonded-carded web may, for example, be a powder bonded carded web, an infrared bonded carded web, or a through-air bonded carded web. Further examples of surge materials may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,490,846 to Ellis et al. and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,382 to Latimer. Surge layers may be composed of a substantially hydrophobic material, and the hydrophobic material may optionally be treated with a surfactant or otherwise processed to impart a desired level of wettability and hydrophilicity. Surge layers can have a generally uniform thickness and cross-sectional area.
A distribution layer, if present, must be capable of moving fluid from the point of initial deposition to where storage is desired. Distribution must take place at an acceptable rate such that the target insult area, generally the crotch area, is ready for the next insult. The time between insults can range from just a few minutes to hours, generally depending on the age of the wearer. Materials from which the distribution layer may be made include woven fabrics and nonwoven webs. For example, the distribution layer may be a nonwoven fabric layer composed of a meltblown or spunbond web of polyolefin, polyester, polyamide (or other web-forming polymer) filaments. Such nonwoven fabric layers may include conjugate, biconstituent and homopolymer fibers of staple or other lengths and mixtures of such fibers with other types of fibers. The distribution layer also can be a bonded-carded web, an airlaid web or a wetlaid pulp structure composed of natural and/or synthetic fibers or a combination thereof.
Retention materials are typically cellulosic materials or superabsorbents or mixtures thereof. Such materials are usually designed to quickly absorb liquids and hold them without, usually without release. Superabsorbents are commercially available from a number of manufactures including Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Mich. and Stockhausen Corporation of Greensboro, N.C. Retention materials may be zoned and their compositions chosen to move liquids away from the target zone to more remote storage locations. Such a design more efficiently uses the entire absorbent article.
The backsheet is sometimes referred to as the outer cover and is the farthest layer from the wearer. The outer cover is typically formed of a thin thermoplastic film, such as polyethylene film, which is substantially impermeable to liquid. The outer cover functions to prevent body exudates contained in an absorbent structure from wetting or soiling the wearer's clothing, bedding, or other materials contacting the diaper. The outer cover may be, for example, a polyethylene film having an initial thickness of from about 0.5 mil (0.012 millimeter) to about 5.0 mil (0.12 millimeter). The polymer film outer cover may be embossed and/or matte finished to provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Other alternative constructions for outer cover include woven or nonwoven fibrous webs that have been constructed or treated to impart the desired level of liquid impermeability, or laminates formed of a woven or nonwoven fabric and thermoplastic film. The outer cover may optionally be composed of a vapor or gas permeable, �breathable� material, that is permeable to vapors or gas yet substantially impermeable to liquid. Backings may also serve the function of a mating member for mechanical fasteners, in the case, for example, where a nonwoven fabric is the outer surface.
Despite the advantages of modern surge, distribution and retention materials, it has been found that a small amount of liquid can still remain in contact with the skin for some time after urination into a personal care product. The inventors have found that the incorporation of an osmolality changing agent into a personal care article like a diaper can reduce skin hydration significantly. It's believed this will have the effect of reducing redness and irritation of the skin.
Intracellular bodily fluid (fluid within cells) and extracellular bodily fluid (fluid outside the cell) have an osmolality of about 300 milliosmoles per kilogram (mOs/kg) according to the Textbook of Medical Physiology, (sixth edition, ISBN 0-7216-4394-9, published by W.B. Saunders Company, Philadelphia, Pa., at page 49). Another source reports the extracellular fluid as having slightly lower values of about 275-290 mOs/kg (Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 14th edition, volume one, ISBN 0-07-020292-3, published by McGraw-Hill, New York, N.Y., at page 266). Therefore, a solution outside of the body, must have an osmolality of greater than about 300 mOs/kg in order to prevent water from moving from the exterior of the cell to the interior, thus achieving the objective of decreasing skin cell hydration. Any osmolality changing agent that raises the osmolality of the fluid adjacent the skin above about 300 mOs/kg should result in positive effects on skin hydration and thus on skin redness and irritation.
The osmolality changing agent functions by dissolving in the water (urine) released by the wearer, thus increasing the concentration of the agent in the water. This increases the osmolality of the liquid in the personal care product to a value greater than that of the intracellular fluid. This causes water to pass outwardly through the cellular boundary (wall) of the wearer's skin to dilute the solution. This process, known, as osmosis, is the tendency of a fluid, e.g. water, to pass through a semi-permeable membrane, such as the wall of a living skin cell, into a solution of higher concentration, so as to equalize solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane. When the skin is in direct contact with liquid after urination, the agent dissolved in the urine will cause water to diffuse from the skin cells of the wearer into the urine outside of the body, thus reducing skin hydration.
Osmolality changing agents include those that ionize like NaCl, CaBr2, KCl, CaCl2, LiCl and NaBr as well as those that do not, like methanol, urea, dextrose and glycerol. The amount of a chosen agent that will change the osmolality of a solution to above about 300 mOs/kg will vary with the particular agent. Necessary concentrations of exemplary osmolality changing agents in an aqueous solution in weight percent are, for example, CaCl2, 1.5; NaCl, 1; D-fructose 5.5; D-glucose (dextrose), 5; NaHCO3, 3; glycerol, 3; methanol, 1; LiCl, 0.75; urea, 2; KCl, 1.5; and NaBr, 2 (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 57th edition, 1976-1977, published by CRC Press, Cleveland, Ohio, at pages D218-267). It should be noted that these concentrations are based on solutions in water.
In order to calculate the number of grams of osmolality changing agent needed in a particular personal care product, some estimates or assumptions must be made regarding the amount of urine the product will receive over its useful life. In the case of diapers, for example, since a baby can deliver an amount of urine up to about 100 ml per urination, a value representing four rather large urinations (a total of 400 mls of urine) is probably a good �worst case� estimate. It is then a simple matter to calculate the number of grams of osmolality changing agent needed. E.g., for NaCl, since a 1 weight percent solution is needed, 4 grams of NaCl per 400 mls of water would be needed. For glycerol, for example, this amount would be 12 grams. It should be remembered, however, that these amounts are based on increasing the osmolality of the fluid in the personal care product to the minimum of 300 mOs/kg. Greater amounts of the osmolality changing agent in a product would give greater reduction in skin hydration, as shown in the testing below, making these estimated amounts lower bounds or minimums. Actual amounts of osmolality changing agent added to a personal care product for commercial purposes could be many times the minimum calculated here in order to deliver even greater reductions in skin hydration. Amounts of about 500 mOs/kg, 1000 mOs/kg or greater could be used with amounts of 1000 mOs/kg or more preferred.
The agent for use in this invention is preferably amenable to use in continuous fiber production processes like airforming, meltblowing, spunbonding, bonding and carding and airlaying. In this manner, it may be incorporated into current converting processes with little adjustment and used in virtually any of the layers of personal care products currently made. If in particulate form, an agent could be attached to the fibers of a web like the liner or to a superabsorbent/pulp layer through the use of an adhesive or binder or added to the fiber as long as it could get into solution with the melt spinning polymers. If the fibers were meltspun, particulate osmolality changing agents could be added to the fibers as they were produced, adhering to the semi-molten fibers and remaining there after the fibers completely cooled. If the osmolality changing agent were a liquid, it could be sprayed on the web, or the web dipped into the agent, after production.
In order to test the invention, armband skin hydration testing was performed. In one experiment, the armband had an absorbent of fluff placed between the arm and the band. A normal saline solution of 0.9 weight percent sodium chloride was added to the absorbent of a first (control) armband at the volume of 6 grams of fluid per gram of absorbent. A saline solution of 7.4 weight percent of osmolality changing agent sodium chloride was added to the absorbent of a second armband at the same addition volume. The surface tension of both solutions was adjusted to about 55 dynes/cm. After an hour, the skin hydration was measured and found to be 1.73 g/m2 in two minutes for the control and 1.24 g/m2 in two minutes for the high saline armband, a reduction of 28 percent. This experiment was repeated on a different subject and skin hydration was found to be 1.4 g/m2 in two minutes for the control and 0.97 g/m2 in two minutes for the high saline solution, a reduction of 30 percent.
In a second experiment, a control as above was used as well as an armband in which 8.52 grams of osmolality changing agent sodium chloride was added to the target area. Water was added to each armband and after an hour the control had a skin hydration of 1.62 g/m2 in two minutes versus 1.13 g/m2 in two minutes for the sample, a reduction of 30 percent. Reductions in skin hydration of 10, 20 or other varying percentages can therefore be achieved by varying the amount of osmolality changing agent added to the product.
It is thus shown that placing an osmolality changing agent in close proximity to the skin can significantly reduce skin hydration. This reduced skin hydration is believed to result in reduced skin redness and irritation.
Although only a few exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims. In the claims, means plus function claims are intended to cover the structures described herein as performing the recited function and not only structural equivalents but also equivalent structures. Thus although a nail and a screw may not be structural equivalents in that a nail employs a cylindrical surface to secure wooden parts together, whereas a screw employs a helical surface, in the environment of fastening wooden parts, a nail and a screw may be equivalent structures.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

Hundreds of companies have pledged to reduce their role in the destruction of the world's forests, but how many have kept their promises? An online portal launched on Wednesday aims to hold the...
U.S. pledges $275M to rainforest conservation
The U.S. pledged $275 million to a efforts to reduce deforestation in developing countries, reports Reuters.
The commitment was announced by U.S. Ambassador Louis Susman during an event hosted by Prince Charles. The pledge was made in a letter from Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, chair of the US Senate Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs, to Prince Charles.
The letter stated the funds are "to protect biodiversity and support sustainable landscapes in fiscal year 2010 ... with a focus on protection of tropical forests."
According the Reuters, the money would come from the $1.2 billion international assistance fund, although it wasn't immediately clear how the funds would be dispersed. One possibility is the U.N. REDD Program, a proposed mechanism to compensate developing countries for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation.
The U.S. has lagged behind other rich-world nations in funding tropical forest conservation in recent years, especially Norway, which has committed more than a billion dollars to forest conservation efforts in Brazil, Guyana, Tanzania, and Congo Basin countries. The Tropical Forest Conservation Act (TFCA), the main mechanism by which the U.S. has funded tropical forest conservation, languished under the Bush Administration, which reduced funding while adding a coral reef conservation mandate, further diluting funds available for tropical forests. The most recent TFCA, passed in May 2009 by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will provide up to $115 million in debt relief to tropical countries in exchange for commitments to conserve forests and coral reefs.

hey genius<quoted text>
Are you completely nuts? A madman no doubt!
61 american firearm companies have banned together.
they have explained they will not offer law enforcement or military small arm weapons that civilians can not purchase. Their policy.
and if pushed, would end sales with the US Government.
all your Govt enforcement types are going to confiscate civilians guns with chinese loaded ammo; and I bet 1/2 will be blanks.
New York, Connecticut, and Colorado are just about to lose $50 billion in tax base to Texas and the Carolina's.
that is how you cripple leftist tools.

I look forward to hearing from you with any further way we can assist.
Martin Eskildsen, President
The propeller system is packaged in two sturdy boxes.
Box A measures 21.2 x 17.7 x 13.8 in (54 x 45 x 35 cm), and weighs ~ 24lb (11kg) [40lb (18kg) volumetric].
Box B measures 40 x 10 x 6 in (100 x 25 x 15 cm), and weighs ~ 16 lb (7.5kg).
Actual weights will vary depending on propeller type and options included.
How to order an Airmaster Propeller

Not sure about your area but there must be a surf oriented bar where you could find girls to surf with. If not, put in time at the beach, that's where surfers live.
this chick is more agro then anyone else on this fourm. relax
Most girls I see in the water around Surf City and Wilmington are out in the mid mornings during the week when the crowds thin out a bit. As you are seeing here it can be a bit aggressive in and out of the water. Go by some of the shops and from time to time and you will probably meet some local chicks who surf but you are the rarity in this sport.

With continued high unemployment across the U.S., restaurant traffic remained down 1 percent in the third calendar quarter of 2010; however, positive signs point to restaurant traffic growth in the last calendar quarter of 2010 and in 2011, according to foodservice market research by The NPD Group. NPD forecasts a 1 percent increase in traffic growth in the final quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011.
According to NPD's CREST, which continually tracks consumer usage of commercial and non-commercial foodservice outlets, customer traffic to commercial foodservice matched the year-ago level, now about 4 percent below the third quarter (July, August, September) of 2008. Consumer spending at commercial foodservice nearly recovered from losses a year ago (up +2 percent versus a -2 percent decline) registering about the same volume level as the third quarter of 2008.
Visits to quick service restaurants, which represent the largest traffic share in the industry, were up by 1 percent in the third quarter. Casual dining and midscale full service restaurants continued to experience traffic declines with casual dining visits down 2 percent and traffic to midscale restaurants down 3 percent.
"Some of the areas most affected by the recession have stopped declining or are starting to edge back up, like families with kids and non-deal visits," said Bonnie Riggs, restaurant industry analyst at NPD. "These are positive signs that the industry is beginning to return to normalcy, but high unemployment and the loss of benefits for the long-term unemployed, will keep the industry from full recovery."
Unemployment has been highest among young adults ages 18 to 34, historically the most frequent restaurant users. Since September 2008, the per capita restaurant visits for adults, ages 18 to 24, dropped from 236 to 215, and adults ages 25 to 34 declined from 256 to 235 visits. Consumers over age 50 tend to be lighter restaurant users, but they were more likely to hold onto their jobs during the recession and maintained their foodservice usage.
"In spite of the visit declines, U.S. consumers still made 67 billion visits to commercial and non-commercial restaurants over the past year, and the industry will continue to work hard to provide their customers with the best quality, value and convenience," Riggs said. "In the end, there will be winners and losers who capitalize on the situation with innovative offerings that draw consumers out of their homes or away from competitors."

Anthrax Post AC/DC Cover
just another autopilot cover like that disturbed cover of that judas priest song
i did enjoy their take on Anthem though
I'm pretty sure T.N.T. was originally released on the Australian version of the T.N.T.-album back in 1975, not in 1979
Digging: Joanna Gruesome - Weird Sister
It sounds too similar to the original...what's the point? I don't even really like the original that much
AC/DC is so overrated
spoken like a true child
man i love anthrax but this cover was so disappointing. i mean they could have got a little more creative with it good god. vocals sound plain as fuck too
Digging: Galar - De Gjenlevende
vocals is why it sucks.....absolutely no badassness to them whatsoever
yeah it's weird i actually really enjoyed worship music though joey belladonna's usually one of my favorite metal vocalists.
if you're going to cover Bon Scott, you'd better bring the swagger! Joey didn't.
I listened to it yesterday and it was meh tbh
Worship music is good album ...agreed
the vox are way too clean for this song, you gotta throw some grit and snarl in there IMO or it's gonna sound wussy :P
yeah pretty disappointed in joey : (
they should just focus on a new album since cover songs is obviously not their forte.
This is exactly the same but worse. What were Anthrax thinking?
First time ever prefering ACDC to Anthrax
god damn viper
hey Anthrax rule
yeah but AC/DC is the 'baddest' band out there!
right up there with Motorhead and Black Label Society
you know im joking though ( ;
They should cover Night Prowler instead. Lol
Sorry about getting the date wrong Prowler, it was a typo!
That's cool - and I can accept 1976, although the album was released in late '75 ;)
this cover is hilariously bad
TNT the band rules
What's the point of making a cover if you are going to not bother making the song your own in some way?
this didn't need to happen...at all.
who cares
Digging: Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
Doesn't sound like Belladonna
Digging: Melechesh - Enki
good but sucks
It was probably Joey's idea to do this cover.
Unbelievable how they didn't add anything to it tho. Barely a little pick scrape in part after the solo(the last Rob Caggiano solo with Anthrax to ever be recorded?)
I wouldn't want to hear any band play this song. Especially AC/DC.
better TNT
The cover isn't that bad, then again I never have any hype for covers.

Which med is stronger? hydrocodone apap 5mg/500mg or vicoprofen 7.5/200?

The vicoprofen has 7.5mg of hydrocodone, whereas the vicodin only has 5, so the vicoprofin would be stronger. The first number in vicodin, percocet, etc is the amount of narcotic in the pill, the second number is the amount of tylenol (or apap which stands for acetaminophen) thats in the pill

The world is the reason you live.
You be the reason the world lives.
I ask my self why I'm in this world
And I ask god to why I'm in this world but there's no one can answer my question
I even try kill myself today
I can't defend a single friend
Only half the world is round
I get no deals from sugarmen
Only half the world is round
Things aren't as weird as I once thought
Only half the world is round
I might confess before I'm caught
Only half the world is round
Tomorrow might reveal the past
My droopy mind is going down
The D train's getting here at last
My droopy mind is going down
The lessons aren't always cheap
A Cobweb University clown
I pray for an hour's worth of sleep
A Cobweb University clown
Anecdotes and cigarets
Only half the world is round
Foxy and terribly sly girls
Made sure I was first to drown
The full moon lights my empty arms
Only half the world is round
My mind is choking mute alarms
The devil cannot hear the sound
Juxtaposing foreign trends
My mother swore I'm jailhouse-bound
A sheepish smile can't make amends
My father swore I'm jailhouse-bound
I cracked a bottle open with my teeth
Only half the world is round
I cannot feel my underneath
The world spins 'round and 'round
Only half the world is round
There's no more sermon on the mound
A chaotically crooked place
Filled with agony
And ostentatiously sunny days
With scrapheaps of misery
It's the only place we have
And the only place that ever will be.
In wrongness, are we to remain as slaves
Till we go down in history?
I've been taught to start everything
computer related, internet related
with "Hello World"
So, print "Hello World"
You the reader
reading these somber blues
from a soul that knows no limit to suffering
shall be redeemed in this role play of the reader and writer
Letting me, redeem, some sins, some debts
Some words
Some hellos, unsaid.
I'm leaving today
But I'm not leaving for good
Space is the only thing I have to give
To show my love for you
For you
I would paint the trees purple
I would teach the birds to sing your name
I would make the rivers flow backwards
And make mountains curl and wave
I would set fire under ocean waters
And bring the fiercest animals to a calm still
Make lies of the things you once thought we true
Just to show you a new world
But my artistic devices have become depleted
And I'm left naked and ashamed
So I'll leave for this quest
For me to reclaim my own name
Their eyes stare through my soul
As if I had one.
All I can think about is nothing.
Tell myself to forget the pain.
Once again,
I am alone.

Welcome to Moon Climbing

I recently watched a few buddies having good time on the Moon Board and it was great to see them getting so hooked by this small piece of wood, despite everything else our gym has to offer.
It reminded me of period almost two decades ago when the system boards where smaller than the standard Moon Board. At the time it was our only indoor training tool. There were bunch of them on different locations in Split and we trained on them like crazy.
Most of the time I spent at Joke Purko's place whose board was super fingery and with best collection of home made wooden holds. I remember a hard 30-40 move problems we climbed standing on the same footholds because the board was so small that we could reach nearly all the holds without moving our feet.
At Zlodre board we were wild and loud. This board was definitely more sophisticated. It had option to change the angle of the overhang and it was the first board in Split with few modern Lapis holds bought in Slovenia.

Now that the School Room is back in business and we have a sexy new Moon Board to train on we thought it was time to make a short film explaining the concept and benefits of training on a Moon Board. We hope you find this film helpful and motivating.

Last few months my climbing was mixture of everything. I was not focused on any particular project or strict training plan because I felt tired of the intense rhythm I held for months. This time I decided to follow my instinct and keep things as simple as possible - even if it meant climbing just once or twice per week.

These last few years, I learned that I really need to add more bouldering into my training routine to be powerful enough to climb at the level I desire. The best bouldering system I've found that allows me to incorporate this training is the Moonboard. I love how many problems there are and the level of difficulty of the problems (although it was frustrating at first!). There is no cheating your training session on this board. The only problem I ran into is the taRead More...

This summer I started to work on Vukowar project, the one of The Big Four, while the half of the line was still wet. I worked the route in a very structured sessions, usually doing laps on critical parts and climbing them in very precise style and slow pace, almost like doing french blow on every single move in a row. I know it is modern to go fast like Ondra these days but I still like to work on moves in a slow style and than just add some extra speed when I go for real.
Anyway, I knew there will be just a small time window when the route will be completly dry and I worked like a maniac to get fit and confident for that moment. It was true. Vukowar got dry and it lasted for just around 2 weeks, but it was enough. I was totally prepaired and I did FA in literally first real try. It is always a great feeling and privilege to climb such a special lines but since I often emotionaly connect with them I cant escape some sorrow oncRead More...
Summer chaos started with getting back into full time work regime after one year long maternity leave. Well, this was really a hard landing back into reality, especially coz I am not crazy about my boring administration job. I do not want to sound like I am complaining but I must conclude that trying to be mother, housewife, full time employee and climber in the same 24hours is definitely crazy idea. Mostly it is simply impossible to catch all but even
Soon, summer is coming to an end. I've had a fantastic summer so far. Basically, it has all been about climbing. Outdoor climbing, climbing trips, indoor training, climbing comps, climbing books, climbing friends and some climbing chat.
I've learnt a lot during these few summer months. I've found one of my biggest weaknesses. It isn't anything about strength, technique, or even dynos (which I need to practice....). It my psyche. When I realized this, all the pieces fell into it's places: why I couldn't perform at my best at the most important competitions, why I fell of on the same route and same sequence time after time although I had done it before. Why I once did perform my best on a competition; because I didn't feel any pressure.
I'm very happy to find this out. I mean, now I can make it even better! I've started to read a book about mental training and mental training practice has entered my training schedule. Now I'm extrRead More...
