Both are weighted for extra stability and have a rubbery, non-slip finish. Sold separately. Made in Taiwan.

Seeking quietest furnace
I'm getting bids on a 4 ton furnace that will be in a utility closet in a finished basement. I'm looking for the quietest possible unit.
We have bids from two reputable installers, one for a Rheem modulating, the other for a Carrier Infinity 96.
I'm in Portland, Oregon with fairly mild winters. It seems there is a chance that the Rheem modulating might generally keep the system at a lower fan speed than the Carrier, which would seem to keep things quiet.
On the other hand, the published sound rating is lower for the Carrier. (for what this is worth)
I've heard proponents of each system claiming that it is quiet, but not yet from anyone who has experience with both systems (and possibly others). I'd appreciate any advice.
Just a thought on this quiet thing that seems to be on everyones priority list. You get a beautifully quiet furnace. Just perfect. You don't hear squat. You don't even know it is working. You leave one day and it actually
isn't working because you can't hear it to tell the difference. Then come home with most of your pipes frozen and the cat and dog cuddled up together to keep warm. Prime ex. my stat crapped out yesterday. couldn't hear the
relay click. Yes woke up with no heat.
I have installed both furnaces. Either one is very quiet. Both are sealed combustion units and can be enclosed in an insulated closet unless there is an atmospheric combustion appliance in the same room. I'm assuming the furnace will be installed with 2 vent pipes. The Rheem unit has the capability of running at lower Btu inputs and will be quieter during mild outdoor temperatures.

Hello everyone,
I bought Dick Clark rose from a reputable online seller. The rose arrived in good condition and already had 3 buds. Today one of the buds opened. It does not look like online pictures and desription of Dick Clark at all.
Could you please take a look and tell me what you think (sorry for the second picture - I will make another one tomorrow if this does not help):
My Dick Clark, own-root, is more hot pink/white than red/yellow. It doesn't have a light pink stage and the blooms have far less yellow. In our warm winter, the hot pink was more red but the yellow was still more white. The daytime temps have been upper 80's thru low 100's this past month so coloring may be more temperature or sunlight driven in our area.

This digital illustration is painted in Photoshop to A4 size. It was painted in October 2012 and is for the Christmas season. The illustration depicts a Lion, dressed as Santa delivering presents. He is pictured creeping silently out of a boy cub's bedroom, leaving behind presents. The Lion cub is fast asleep and is busy dreaming about Christmas. A Christmas stocking is on the end of the bed, and the room is decorated with Christmas lights. The perspective in the image is deliberately distorted and does not matter for this cartoonish image. The main light source is from the open door in the bedroom. The lighting is not designed to be realistic but cheated so that the viewer can see the Lion cub and presents clearly.

Kevin and Bean is the morning show on KROQ-FM, an alternative rock-format radio station in Los Angeles, California. It is hosted by Kevin Ryder and Gene "Bean" Baxter. The show has been on the air since 1990 and intersperses music and news with comedy, celebrity interviews, listener call-ins, and live music performances.
Each episode opens with an audio montage (usually created by Baxter[1]) featuring musical and audio clips that draw from current events in politics, pop-culture, and the news. Since 2008,[2] the opening has featured a segment called "What it do, nephew?" where listeners are invited to phone in on a topic of their choosing. This segment has appeared in various forms throughout the show's history, and was previously known as "What is your deal" before being renamed after a phrase coined by rapper Snoop Dogg.[3] The segment of What It Do Nephew? was later dropped from the show.[citation needed]
Music from the standard lineup of KROQ is played regularly during the program.[4][5]
Newscaster Boyd Britton provides an hourly summary of current events, while Los Angeles-area traffic updates are provided by metro traffic reporter and co-host Lisa May.[6][7]
"The Showbiz Beat" is an hourly entertainment-news report featuring Ryder and Baxter's actor co-host Ralph Garman.[1][8]
Many of the show's periodically recurring segments are based on listener participation, and involve the hosts taking calls on a discussion topic or for a guest, or involve games and contests created around promotional giveaways. Ryder and Baxter will also occasionally read emails sent to them, and play messages from the show's voice mail service, known as the "Afro Line". Other segments focus on the hosts and their personalities and quirks, like "Thanks for That Info, Bean", which pokes fun at Baxter's intense interest in seemingly trivial topics, and "A Moment with...", where a humorous audio clip of a statement made on-air by a host is replayed. "Would You Like to Take That Back?" is another feature during which the hosts give each other the option of "taking back" an unsuccessful or poorly delivered joke or pun.[9]
Several segments feature regular guests, including weekly interviews with TMZ.com's Harvey Levin,[10] "This Week in Rage" with former Kevin and Bean Show member Adam Carolla,[11] and sports updates from the Petros and Money Show co-host and former Kevin and Bean Show sports reporter Matt "Money" Smith. Since January 2010, Dr. Drew Pinsky, whose syndicated radio program Loveline is broadcast by KROQ, has also appeared frequently on the program.[12]
Vocal impressions and celebrity impersonations are typically voiced by Garman and former Kevin and Bean assistant producer and Loveline co-host "Psycho" Mike Catherwood.[8][13] Ryder and Baxter often conduct fake interviews with celebrities including Gene Simmons and Sean Connery. On other occasions impressions might involve a relatively unknown person in a news story or current event. Garman and Catherwood have also created several alter-egos, including Loquecia, an African-American woman who reviews and ridicules reality television shows, and Rudy, a stereotypical heavily accented, marijuana-smoking cholo.[citation needed]
The program generally ends with a short preview of the next show, and on Fridays the show closes (and opens) with a cover of "Don't Bogart Me" by Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise (a song first performed by the band Fraternity of Man), as performed by the hosts.[14]
The show debuted on KROQ on December 31, 1989, when they hosted the annual countdown of the year's best songs. On June 13, 1990, the show aired a segment called "Confess Your Crime", which included a bogus phone call from DJ Doug "The Slug" Roberts (who was then working at KZZP) as an anonymous listener claiming to have committed murder. The parents of a missing woman believed the fictional caller to be responsible for their daughter's death, leading to an investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and coverage in an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. When the truth was revealed, the station was billed for the costs of the investigation by the LASD,[15] and sued by the distraught parents. KROQ suspended Kevin and Bean for five days without pay, directed each of them to perform 149 hours of community service, and forced them to pay the Sheriff's bill out of their pockets.[citation needed]
In January 2004, a Los Angeles man filed a breach of contract suit against the station and Kevin and Bean saying he was cheated out of a free SUV.[16]
Each December the duo hold a pageant to choose a voluptuous woman as Miss Double D-cember for the upcoming year. The winner appears with Kevin and Bean at various KROQ shows and events.[17]
AC/DC? is an obviously false answer given by listeners to giveaway questions when stumped. This originated during a segment called "Famous Deads" where contestants were given trivia questions where all the answers had the word "dead" in them. After Kevin and Ralph explained repeatedly for a solid minute that the answers shall have the word "dead" in them, the very first contestant to call in obliviously answered with "AC/DC?"[18]
On December 8, 2014, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) announced that the Kevin & Bean Show will be inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame in Las Vegas on April 14, 2015 during the NAB Show Radio Luncheon.[19]
Ryder has odd interests and characteristics that are mentioned on the show from time to time. He has packages mailed to his home using fake names, such as "The Duke of Tarzana".[20]
Baxter was born and raised until his early teens in Middlesex, England,[21] but graduated from Bowie High School in Bowie, Maryland in 1977, and has no noticeable English accent. He is obsessed with Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered the dwarf planet Pluto.[22] He maintains a blog,[22] and the show occasionally has a segment where the cast reads his blog entries. He lives in a pink house on Vashon Island, near Seattle,[21][23] where he raises a host of farm animals including cows, pigs, sheep, and donkeys as family pets. He is married to Donna H. (Mendivil) Baxter,[21] who was the island's mayor, and works as a fashion designer.[24] Bean talks from a room in his guest house where he has a sound mixing board, recording equipment, a video monitor showing staff in the KROQ studio in Los Angeles, a computer and a microphone attached to a high-quality phone line.[25]

A Best of Kevin and Bean show called "Same Shit, Different Day" was added on Saturday mornings airing from 7:00-10:00 AM.
On May 11, 2009, Kevin and Bean began syndicating on KEDJ, 103.9 The Edge in Phoenix, Arizona,[40] KFRR 104.1 Fresno and KRZQ-FM Reno. The show is also available as a podcast on iTunes.

My previous tire was a Dunlop 240/40; the Avon 250 fits with no problems, looks better and handles better. The only question at this point is the durability. I have a friend who has been running this tire on his 2009 Muscle and he has had better durability with this than stock, so I expect similar results.Read All Reviews

Although these tires don't look very burly, they are surprisingly competent on just about any dry terrain. Compared to OEM semi-knob tires on KLR the Distanzia feels more grippy, even on loose gravel. They are no good once things get wet, as you would expect from looking at them. One other thing to note... these tires seem REALLY heavy compared to others used.Read All Reviews

After going through 2 Bridgestone Battle axes, and only getting 7,000 miles out of each , then trying a Bridgestone Exedra and getting 8,500. on the front. I decided to try the Avon Cobra when I went darkside on the rear. I could not be happier with the Avon, 11,000 miles so far, and just starting to show wear. Great handling tire and runs quiet. Best tire for a heavy bike....Read All Reviews
John in California
Tire really handles very well. Went from central Ca. to Co. pulling tent trailer and never had any problems. Trip included "Million Dollar Highway" and bike handled very well. Tire is great on grooved concrete highways which makes many tires walk up and down the grooves and makes the trailer whip. This tire does have a tendency to start "cupping" and I'm going to replace it before the thread is even close to wearing out, but it's low cost and good handling make it worth it.Read All Reviews

With lab medicine as one of the major themes of Lab Soft News, I have posted a number of notes about cancer screening. Here are two relatively recent examples: When Routine Screening for Disease Has the Potential to Harm a Patient ; Multiplexed Urine Test Predicts Prostate Cancer Risk in Men with Elevated PSAs , We can anticipate that medical research will continue to improve cancer screening tests. And yet, we are now seeing articles questioning the value of this type of testing (see: Considering When It Might Be Best Not to Know About Cancer ). Below is an excerpt for a recent article:
This author of this article was able to quickly summarize why the attitude of physicians and healthcare consumers toward cancer screening is changing. First of all, researchers and the panels of experts that develop screening guidelines are now highlighting both the benefits and the potential harm of cancer screening. The harm comes in the form of the psychological damage to the recipients of false positive tests as well as the potential for unnecessary treatment which is wasteful and can itself cause harm. Moreover, screening tests may reveal a truely malignant tumor but one that behaves in a biologically benign fashion over time.
My conclusions from all of this are the following. First, physicians and patients are beginning to view some types of cancer screening with a jaundiced eye, no pun intended. Second, patients are becoming increasingly confused when some physicians recommend less screening and others proclaim the value of screening and diagnostic procedures as previously recommended. Lastly and as noted in the article before, one of the major drivers for some skepticism about cancer screening is the ready availability of information about both the costs and benefits of screening, often online. Once again, we are becoming aware of the influence of Dr. Google (see: Paging Dr. Google! We Are Waiting for a Second Opinion ; Teaching Consumers to Say "No" to Physicians' Recommendations ).

Durum decline continues in region
GRAND FORKS -- Durum, once one of North Dakota and northeast Montana's most important crops, continues to lose popularity with farmers in the two states.
North Dakota farmers will plant only 1.1 million acres of the crop this spring, down from 1.34 million acres in 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates.

Plants in narrow containers
Hi. I'm new here and to gardening, so any advice is appreciated, but I have one question most specifically.
I live on a West-facing hill in SW PA. I just converted an old woodpile/trash heap into a garden bed (great dark soil underneath!!) and the way I did it was by terracing with concrete test cylinders and sections of terra cotta sewage pipe (both free on craigslist!!). I've got all sorts of ideas of things I'd like to plant in the beds proper (although thoughts appreciated) but what I'm stuck on is the terra cotta pipes. They're filled with good soil and so I'd like to plant something in them, but I'm not sure what would thrive in the small diameters. The purple pipes are about 8" inside, and the red ones are about 4.5". The pipes are 10-12" deep, and connect underneath to soil, so I think water should be able to drain out ok.
Other information:
-The site as near as I can tell gets dappled sunlight 10-2, full sun from then on.
-There are 15 big purple pipes, and around 30 skinny red ones. The beds are terraced and approximately 16'x4.5' (lower) and 16'x3' (upper)
I am most interested in producing produce, although flower suggestions are welcome too.

Little Henry Sweet Spire-Prune??
I recently planted a Little Henry Sweet Spire. The flowers have now faded, and I was wondering do I need to remove them? Tried searching for an answer but couldn't find one, thanks for any help!
If you didn't remove them last year, you may have regretted it. We have three, and my husband objected to the dead blooms, which seem to persist forever. So I started removing them but finished one shrub and gave up -- tedious work!. However, that one looked better and healthier all season and seemed to have more vigor this spring. By now, they all look pretty good, so I'm not sure whether I'll face the task this year...
You don't have to remove the spent flowers/blooms, but as MountainLaurel points out, if you don't, some energy from the shrub will go into seed production. The less energy that goes into seed production, the more energy is directed towards the overall health of the shrub.
This is true of most shrubs, trees, perennials, annuals. But then again, you won't see me on a ladder dead-heading a flowering tree! ;)
Best of luck!
ps - Isn't little henry cool?
I bought one of these mid summer for 5 bucks . Planted it right beside my front steps. I like it a lot. It's got a great form, flower and autumn color. It does run. I'm glad to know it's easy to take these runners and transplant them.
I'm glad shinykat posted this question. I also planted 3 'Little Henry' sweetspire this spring. Based on mountainlaurel's experience, it sounds like it may be wise to remove the spent blooms the first year so that they will put their energy into growing roots instead of seed. Or can someone let me know if this is not an accurate assessment so I don't end up creating busywork for myself?

HARRISBURG, March 3 – State Rep. Madeleine Dean today voiced her support for Gov. Tom Wolf's state budget proposal, unveiled this morning during a special joint session of the General Assembly. "Governor Wolf's goal to invest in public education, raise the minimum wage and support fairness for the middle class are a welcome breath of fresh air in the Capitol," said Dean, who serves on the House Appropriations Committee. "I believe he is taking bold steps to get Pennsylvania moving in the right direction, and I look forward to helping translate his priorities into legislative initiatives over the coming months." Wolf's budget proposes to restore cuts to basic education with a four-year commitment to increase funding by $2 billion while cutting property taxes paid by the average homeowner by 50 percent, and reducing the total tax burden on middle-class families. "As the governor eloquently pointed out this morning," Dean said, "'we are starting with education because, in many ways, education is at the core of everything else that we want to achieve.'" Dean said that she was particularly pleased to learn that Wolf's proposal could also increase pre-kindergarten enrollment across the state by as much as 75 percent. "Not only is early-education funding an investment in our children's futures, it's a real benefit for all Read more

When Gov. Wolf delivered his first budget address this month to a joint session of the Pennsylvania House and Senate, he made his highest priority clear: investing in public education. "We are starting with education," he said, "because, in many ways, education is at the core of everything else that we want to achieve."

HARRISBURG, Feb. 9 – As a longtime supporter of expanding Medicaid in Pennsylvania, state Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Montgomery, expressed her support for Gov. Tom Wolf's directive today to fully expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. "Governor Wolf's decision to withdraw HealthyPA for a full embrace of expansion represents a commitment to the health and well-being of hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians who need coverage now," she said. "As many of us recognized in 2010 when the program was proposed, the only fiscally responsible and morally right decision was to expand the program outright. We lost some time along the way, but I believe Governor Wolf put Pennsylvania back on track today. "In addition to delaying full expansion, permanently depriving Pennsylvania of billions of critical dollars for our budget, the previous plan was harmful and out of reach to the very people who need health insurance the most. By requiring a search for work or premiums of the working poor, the former administration misunderstood both the need and the purpose of the law. "I'm extremely proud that a new dawn has come to the commonwealth – one that puts Pennsylvanians first and will have real benefits for our struggling budget." The Office of the Governor provided this information today: How does Medicaid expansion differ from Healthy PA ? Medicaid expansion will allow for eligible adults to be Read more

As you know, as a result of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, all Americans are required to have health insurance. Since that time, over 15 million uninsured people now have coverage. If you do not have coverage or would like to examine your current coverage to make sure it is the best plan for you, you still have some time to get covered or make changes. Read more
HARRISBURG, Jan. 7 – State Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Montgomery, was sworn in to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Tuesday, beginning her third term as a legislator. Tuesday's swearing-in ceremony marked the beginning of the 2015-16 legislative session and the 199th of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. "With 2015 here and all eyes on a fresh start, the Pennsylvania legislature and Governor-elect Tom Wolf will need to find sustainable ways to fund important issues such as education and transportation going forward," Dean said. "The session will bring new challenges but with them amazing opportunities to work with a new administration and a renewed spirit." Dean said she will continue the work started last year toward an adequate severance tax on Marcellus Shale natural gas. She is reintroducing House Bill 2020 from the 2013-14 session, which would collect a 4 percent severance tax on the extraction of natural gas in Pennsylvania, in addition to the current impact fee."Adequately taxing our natural resource would benefit all people and bring much-needed dollars to fund education and environmental protections, steering the commonwealth to a more balanced budget for years to come," she said.A lifelong resident of the area, Dean said she is most proud to represent the communities and people of the 153rd District."I will continue to focus on what is important to my constituents in Abington and Upper Dublin Township," Dean Read more
PennLive.com recently published an opinion written by state Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Montgomery, on the need for a severance tax on shale gas in Pennsylvania.

I say, let Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) do it. Hold your guffaws. Stifle your impulse to scoff. Control those sputters of rage.
Wal-Mart has done more to expand coverage and lower costs in the past year than any government program to come out of Washington in the past 10 years. And I'd bet the new programs that this company -- known for stiffing its own part-time workers on health care benefits -- has announced in the past year will do more to expand coverage and cut costs than anything likely to come out of a McCain, Clinton or Obama first term.
Letting Wal-Mart run the health care system would fix many of those problems. It's a company that understands how low prices can build market share and thus increase profits. Furthermore, it's a company with a culture of cutting costs that has shown no compunction in pushing suppliers to the wall over price. The Wal-Mart motto ought to be, "Make it cheaper, or we'll find someone who can." I'd love to see that attitude brought to bear in health care.

I knew it had to be good, you could see the locals having their ice cream there.
Had the Oreo ice cream -- very tasty and not over priced.
We took our grandson there for ice cream. He wanted chocolate jimmies on his ice cream. Guess what....they don't have them! He got this tiny bowl of half melted ice cream with a few chocolate morsels on it for almost $4.00 Totally over priced! If it was for me I would have said forget it! We had our grandson so...
We live in Burlington Township and hadn't visited the parlor in some time. It was a beautiful evening so my husband and son and I headed to Ummm's for ice cream. My son has severe food allergies . One of them being to eggs (the white & the yolk.) There were three teenagers working behind the counter. I asked one...
Perhaps just because it was the end of the season. Sticky floors. Looks like it had a high-time in 2000, and has perhaps slid a little since then. Hasn't hurt the (great) quality of the ice cream any.
Tried 3 different flavors and they were all over frozen. Chunks of ice throughout. The place isn't that clean either.
Great place! Old-time feel and decor. Ice cream was very tasty and the homemade waffle cones were out of this world!
I have been going to this place for deacdes, since I was a child. It's a really cute spot and it always smells like warm waffle cones (which are delicious). It is my favorite ice cream partlor, and their homemade butter pecan is great!
Ummm has the best home made ice cream in the area.
Quaint little corner ice cream parlor with old fashioned decor. The banana ice cream was really awesome. But what really made it worth the trip was the freshly made waffle cones. Rich, vanilla-flavored crispy, crunchy, yumminess. I've had my share of disappointing waffle cones that tasted like stale, spongy cardboard. Not so here. For ice cream made in house, we...
I love Umms... I've frequented this local establishment for as many summers as I can remember going back into the 90's. Always clean and well staffed, with quality food for the price.

I have worked with BBBS of the Bluegrass now for 3 years not only as a Big but also in the office in Danville. As a precaution against the mentioned issue happening again there are many checks and balances that have been put in place to insure that it does not occur again. It is a truly great charity and it is unfortunate that sometimes people take advantage of a good thing for their own gains.

Ilan denies a rift with West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola.
The Brazilian striker was quoted by a Brazilian journalist saying that Zola is a "good person" but that he had "lost control of the team".
The story was picked up by British newspapers at the weekend but Ilan said today he had no issues with his boss.
"I have spoken to Gianfranco Zola and there is no problem," said the 29-year-old who signed on loan from St Etienne in January. "He's a great person and really cool, you can speak to him whenever you need to. I spoke to the players and they're fine — they've seen this kind of thing before. We are really strong together as a group.
"The important thing is we are together as a group. I will do everything I can to help West Ham and then when the season is over we will sit down and talk about the future."

Some animal made a mess on the grass
My lawn was terrorized by some kind of an animal over night. Three to four big holes were dug. Not deep holes but big. Looks like BIG foot had visited my lawn. I live in the city, no where near the mountains. Can someone tell me why animals like to do that?
My lawn is new from grass seed. I was going to show some photos here, but I don't know how. Paste does not work.
Where are you in California? It's a big place.
You can upload one image per post using the "Image file to upload (optional)" feature. Then you can browse for your photo and upload it. Pictures would be helpful.
Or you can use HTML code to post as many pictures as you want in your post. I believe GardenWeb has plenty of references for posting pictures if you search. You can ever search this forum for the following text "img src" and you'll find some messages.
I'm going to suggest it was a squirrel digging up a buried acorn or other tree seed. Do you or the neighbors have any oak trees (Californa live oak is what I'm thinking). The other possibility would be a skunk or possum digging for grubs. I would think all the skunks are gone from Temple City, but there might be possums. Somehow they manage to evade eradication.
My first wife was from El Monte, so not that far away.
Refill with the soil that is there first and foremost. If the soil was too scattered to refill the entire hole, then use garden soil or sand. It should mound up slightly to allow the soil to settle in the next few years.
If you have bermuda or Kentucky bluegrass, the grass will cover over by itself. If you have fescue (like the Marathon varieties), then you will need to reseed. I would reseed now and not wait until it gets warm. In your area it might be wet and warm enough for the seed to sprout by itself in January.

OH what a week! Friday night I brought my baby boy home from daycare with an icky cough. He got congested and his "cold" started getting worse. By Tuesday (his 4 month birthday)his daycare teachers were pretty concerned also as he quit eating so much he went from 6 oz to about 3 oz per bottle. so tues afternoon I made an appt to see his ped wed am. By Tuesday night he was barely eating, his congestion was insane, he got a mild fever and started wheezing. Yesterday morning ALL HE DID WAS CRY AND SLEEP. He wouldn't eat- I had to have him in the moby wrap upright so he would sleep- I could barely get dressed to get to the dr he was just SCREAMING. (my baby is usually pretty easy going!!!) So we get seen- his oxygen level was lower than normal- it was 90 which says RSV. She couldnt tell if he has penumonia cause he's so rattly but she did say hes crying cause it's hurting to breathe. She was going to admit him to the hosp. but then she talked to head of peds at hosp and they decided since his oxygen level wasnt TOO low, (88 is when they give IV) and is still having wet diapers (every 4-6 hrs) to try to ride this out at home- so we are--- its been rough but we are seeing the upside as of now. Last night and this am he had 102.2 fever. yesterday I struggled to get him to eat 3 oz but by this am he had eaten a total of 8. (Breast milk in a bottle ) but I still offer the breast. the night was long he kept waking up SCREAMING and we slept in the recliner (ok, HE did lol) Oh he is on a nebulizer with albuteral. and it is definitely helping him cough up a bunch of crap. Iv'e gotten about 4 oz in him today and FINALLY some smiles and some talking. So he had about a 45min/hr awake period which is his longest in days. but it was very very good! Oh and I also got the nose frida in the mail yesterday so that was good timing getting a BUNCh of drainage out! Anyway-- that's what we are dealing with right now... Gotta say I am loving snuggling my baby all day instead of working-- but so sad it's under these circumstances!!!
my 4 month old has RSV

Poor baby!
My ODS had RSV when he was 4 mos. He had asthma (I think caused by the RSV but we'll never know) until he was ~3 and had to have nebs every day. But he outgrew it and he hardly even gets a cough now.
Jen- dr said that the extra sleep is good-- they " sleep it off" so to speak.

This application is a 371 of PCT/SE96/01387 filed Oct. 29, 1996.
The present invention refers to a container which is manufactured by means of folding and sealing, and which is intended to be used in extremely humid conditions, such as in an autoclave or in a cooling tunnel, the container having at least one liquid absorbing layer. More specifically, the invention relates to a container, in which all the cut edges are protected.
Paper and board are cheap package materials. However, they also have drawbacks in rapidly loosing their mechanical strength properties when exposed to liquid or moisture, which results in that a container which comprises these materials becomes flabby and cumbersome. It has thus been necessary to improve the properties of these materials, either by coating or lamination.
A large group of known containers is thus manufactured from a laminated material comprising a strengthening base layer of a liquid absorbing material as well as a barrier layer of for example aluminium (Al-foil) which is applied against one side of the base layer and which gives the container the desired sealing properties. Furthermore, such a laminated material comprises an outer coating of plastic (usually polyethylene) so that the container easily can be sealed by means of what is called heat sealing.
A dimensional stable liquid impermeable packaging container is for example manufactured from a material web by the web being formed to a tube in such a way that the two longitudinal edges of the web are permanently joined in a longitudinal overlap seam by means of said heat sealing. The tube is filled with the desired filling material and is divided into closed containers by repeated heat sealings of the tube transverse the longitudinal direction of the tube beneath the level of the filling material in the same. The containers are then separated from each other by cuts in the transvers sealings, and the desired geometrical�usually parallelepipedic�configuration is provided by means of an additional forming and heat sealing operation in order to produce the completed packaging containers.
It is important that films of the above-mentioned material, which are to be made weldable, can be brought to fit tightly so that leaking containers with for example milk are avoided. Known package materials with good dimensional rigidity and other necessary mechanical properties for the manufacturing of dimensional stable containers have in practice proved to be difficult to seal by means of heat sealing. The sealing joints have often mechanically been too weak to withstand the outer loads of normal handling of the containers during transport etc., and they have been impaired with local perviousnesses.
One large problem with containers manufactured from a paper or board laminate has always been that they exhibit laminate cut edges exposed to the inside of the container, which contact and easily absorb the liquid content of the container, the desired mechanical rigidity of the laminate and thus the dimensional stability of the container thereby at least locally being impaired or totally lost. The problem has partly been solved by the application of a bridging plastic strip on the above-mentioned overlap seam in the material web formed as a tube during the manufacturing of the laminate to a container. However, in this connection only a protection of the cut edge existing inside a container is obtained.
However, it is likewise important that the remaining cut edges of a container also are protected. The container is often influenced by moisture in the form of water as a liquid or steam, which can be absorbed by the cut edges present on the outside of a finished container. This can for example take place when a cooled container is subjected to the surrounding atmospheric humidity during transport or storage, which humidity is condensed on the container. Also more extreme conditions, such as hot filling as well as preservation by refrigeration and preservation by heat, for example autoclaving, require well protected cut edges on a container.
The purpose of the invention is to provide a container of the kind mentioned by way of introduction, which allows for the elimination of the above-mentioned draw-backs.
The invention will now be explained more in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
FIG. 1 is a cross section through a packaging laminate.
The packaging laminate partly shown in FIG. 1, preferably in the form of a material web, has at least one liquid absorbing layer which usually is a base layer of board but which also can be a barrier layer. A polymeric film 3 is applied on the packaging laminate 1 in the form of a web or a sheet. At the cut edge 4 to be protected a portion 5 of the film protrudes from a sheet 2 parallel to the transport direction of the web, the film advantageously being 2 to 5 mm broader than the thickness of the sheet. The polymeric film 3 applied on the sheet 2 should be of a material having a good vapour barrier in order to protect not only the packaging laminate but also the cut edges from moisture and liquid. Furthermore, the film should be of a material which in other respects has good resistance against chemicals. Examples of such a material are polypropylene, oriented polypropylene, metalized (usually with aluminium) oriented polypropylene, high density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, and metalized (usually with aluminium) high density polyethylene. An environmentally safe material can also be used, such as polyester, oriented polyester, metalized (usually with aluminium) oriented polyester, or amorphous polyester, the polyester for example being polyethylene terephtalate.
The polymeric film 3 shall not only confer to the cut edges the required impermeability properties against liquid but also be able to attach to the other side of the packaging laminate. Thus, the portion 5 protruding from the sheet 2 is folded down close to the cut edge 4 and permanently sealed to the cut edge as well as a zone 6 on the opposite side of the sheet 5.
The sealing is preferably accomplished by means of heat sealing so that the protruding portion 5 permanently can be attached to the sheet 2. The heat sealing is accomplished by the zone 6, and thus the cut edge 4, being heated, and the protruding portion is folded over the cut edge and pressed against the zone, the melting of the now heated portion 5 resulting in the formation of a permanently bonded mechanically strong and liquid impervious sealing when the zone 6 is subsequently cooled.
An effective heat sealing is achieved by means of induction heating, blowing with hot air, or irradiation with infrared light of the zone 6.
The protected cut edges can then be joined by means of a known technique, opposed plastic layers being sealed to each other by means of surface fusion in order to form mechanically strong liquid impervious sealing joints during the manufacturing of containers. Since additional thermoplastic now is applied on the zone 6 at the cut edges, these joints will be additionally strengthened.
The film 3 used is an integral part of the construction of the packaging laminate 1 and also fulfills other functions in the completed container. For example, the film protects a decorative coating, if any, when it is applied on the outside of the container. The film 3 can also be applied on the inside of the container in order to prevent contact between the laminate and the later on filled food. However, in this case the protruding portion 5 will partly end on the decoration side of the container.
It has also surprisingly been shown that edge covering of the cut edges of a container by means of folding over also protects against shrinkage of the layers included in the packaging laminate. When for example a packaging laminate is heated, which on its inside has an aluminium foil with a polyethylene layer applied on the outside, the plastic will shrink and draw away the adhering foil, which results in an exposure of the coating at sensitive places. This is avoided by protecting the cut edges of the packaging laminate in the completed container by means of said folding over.
The two longitudinal cut edges of a material web are according to the invention preferably covered and protected by means of folding over. The remaining cut edges are for example protected by means of what is called skiving. According to this known technique a reduction of the thickness of the packaging laminate takes place. The freely exposed and soaking cut edge formed thereupon is sealed and protected by the attenuated part of the laminate then being folded in over half of the skived portion in such a way that a part of the remaining laminate now covers the remaining skived portion. Finally, the ultimate form of the container is obtained by a further forming and sealing operation to a dimensional stable and liquid impervious packaging container.
All openings and places on exposed cut edges, which permit leakage or passage of water and/or steam, either with or without pressure, can in a container according to the invention also be protected by applying a covering substance with good filling properties on the cut edges. In this connection the covering substance can for example be in a liquid or semi-solid form, and the application can for example take place by the cut edges being sprayed with the substance or by the cut edges being dipped into the same.
The application of the covering substance on the packaging container partly manufactured from a material web can take place any time during the folding before the container is finally closed. When applied, the sheet partly converted to a container is preferably dipped into a solution which contains the covering substance.
By providing a container, in which according to the invention all the cut edges are chemically protected, a further advantage is obtained in that material in layers not in close contact with the inside of the container cannot be dissolved and/or leaked out into the filling material of the same. This is of special importance when a layer in the packaging laminate is used, which is not approved for direct contact with food.
The covering substance applied on the cut edge can be a lacquer, a hot melt adhesive, or an impregnating agent. All substances should be able to resist high temperatures.
In this connection a lacquer means a non-pigmented liquid with an organic film forming substance which can be a natural resin, a synthetic resin, or an oil.
The hot melt adhesive refers to an adhesive which usually is based on some thermoplastic. When heated, the adhesive forms a more or less liquid mass which is applied in a melted form and which binds by means of cooling, such as one which is based on a copolymer of wax-ethylene-vinyl acetate. Preferably, APAO (�attic poly-α-olefin�) is used, which is a melt film based on polypropylene.
An impregnating agent refers to different kinds of natural oils, resins, waxes, paraffins, fats, proteins, and polysaccharides, either as such or by derivative formation. Polymerized organic compounds can also be used as impregnating agents, and a silicon is preferably used. A sodium silicate can also be used as an impregnating agent.

Product description
We all have fears, but when we look closely at them, we discover that behind each fear resides a basic fear of "ourselves." We're afraid to look at our habitual styles of thinking and behaving because we might not always like what we see. Ironically it is this fear of honest self-reflection that keeps us trapped in patterns of stress and discontentment. Here is a vision for moving beyond this most basic fear to discover the innate bravery, trust, and joy that reside at the core of our being. In this recorded retreat, Pema Chodron shares teachings inspired by the book "Smile at Fear," which was written by her teacher Chogyam Trungpa. She, and her teaching assistant, Carolyn Rose Gimian, also share practices they received from Trungpa Rinpoche for courageously meeting ourselves in the present moment, including: - The Windhorse Practice: a three-step meditation on awakening confidence - Spiritual Warrior training for meeting life with courage and compassion - Meditation instruction for calming the mind and developing concentration 4 CDs, 4 1/2 hours
