This invention relates to patient breathing apparatus and more particularly to a liquid drain for patient breathing apparatus.
As is well known, liquid or water drains or traps are employed in patient breathing systems to drain away liquid or water precipitated onto the inner sidewalls of the apparatus to prevent such liquid from pooling in low lying portions of the system and eventually entering the patient or producing an obstruction to gas flow in the system. In standard breathing systems, such as those employing a volume ventilator, for example, heated, humidified gas or air is cyclically introduced into the lungs of a patient to perform the breathing function for the patient or, in some cases, to assist the patient in breathing. In such systems, water condenses on the inner sidewalls of the breathing tubes. In some breathing systems, such as in aerosol therapy, air and a liquid such as water are used to produce a fine spray which is applied to the interior of the lungs to aid in mobilizing secretions. Medicaments such as antibiotics and bronchial medications may also be introduced by such aerosol therapy. In aerosol therapy apparatus, the liquid is precipitated in particulate form on inner sidewalls of the tubing, and a drain is used to prevent an accumulation of liquid.
Generally, in order to empty or open a water trap or drain to remove liquid or water from the breathing system without interrupting or interfering with the breathing function, various valve devices have been used. For example, a valve may be used to close a drain passage to a collection container. In such case, there is the possibility of foreign organisms entering the system because the container is removed for emptying the collected water. Also, in such cases, the container must generally be relatively small since the container normally is in fluid communication with the system gas supply and therefore adds to the system compliance or gas pressure loss of the system. The small collection container furthermore requires close attention and must be emptied often. In general, such drain valves are relatively complicated, expensive, and subject to mechanical failure.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved liquid drain for a system supplying gas to the lungs of a patient wherein one or more of the above-mentioned problems or disadvantages of the prior art devices are overcome.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a liquid drain for a patient breathing system is provided which includes a fluid passage adapted for fluid communication with the breathing system and is subject to receive precipitated liquid of the system, and a liquid permeable, gas impermeable barrier closing the fluid passage to allow the precipitated liquid to pass through the barrier but prevent gas flow therethrough. In accordance with another aspect, a drain for a breathing system is provided with a liquid permeable barrier that is normally gas permeable when dry but which is provided with a liquid soluble, gas impermeable layer to prevent gas flow through the barrier when dry.
These, as well as other objects and advantages of the present invention, will become more apparent from the following detailed description and drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagramatical illustration of a patient breathing system having a liquid drain in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an elevational view, in cross section, on an enlarged scale, of the liquid drain of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of a barrier member of the liquid drain of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 is a side view, partly in cross-section, of a liquid drain in accordance with a modified embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1, a breathing system 10 is shown which supplies gas or air to the lungs of a patient 12. System 10 is shown as a ventilating or patient breathing system which includes a volume ventilator 14 supplying heated, humidified gas or air to the lungs of the patient 12 through inhalation tubing including inhalation tubes 16 and 17. Ventilator 14 has a pressurized, controlled gas source indicated at 18 which may include a conventional pump and pump control circuit for supplying pressurized gas to a ventilator outlet tube 20. Tube 20 extends into a quantity of liquid such as water 22 contained in a humidifier 24. Tube 20 passes through a sealed humidifier lid 26 in air-tight relation and extends downwardly to a point near the bottom of the humidifier. Inhalation tube 16 has an inlet end extending in fluid-tight relation through the humidifier lid 26 with the open end of the tube above the level of the water 22 in the humidifier 24. A water heater 28 heats the water in the humidifier and maintains it at a relatively high temperature in order to maintain the gas reaching the patient at the temperature desired for patient breathing.
Connected in the inhalation tubing portion of the system between tubes 16 and 17 is a liquid trap or drain 30 in accordance with the present invention. Tube 17 connects with an inhalation inlet 32 of a ventilation Y-coupler 34 which has a breathing tube portion 36 connected to a conventional patient tube 38 for supplying gas from the ventilator 14 to the lungs of the patient 12. The patient tube 38 may be an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube in the system shown or it may be a mouthpiece in an aerosol therapy system.
The connector 34 also has an exhalation or outlet 40 connected to exhalation tubing including a tube 42 that connects with a tube 43 to the ventilator system, for example, through a volume monitoring and atmospheric vent circuit indicated generally at 44. A conventional exhalation valve 46 is connected in series in the exhalation tubing between tubes 42 and 43. Valve 46 is normally open to allow exhalation air or gas expelled from the lungs to flow through the valve and tubes 42 and 43 to the monitor and to the atmosphere but is automatically closed during the inhalation portion of the breathing cycle or during the pressurized or positive pressure gas application to the lungs so that the gas flows into the patient. Valve 46 may be any conventional or suitable well-known exhalation valve and is diagramatically shown simply as a pneumatically controlled valve. The valve 46 is shown for illustration as being controlled by connecting a control tube 52 to the pressurized gas source 18 so that whenever the source 18 applies a pressurized pulse of air for ventilating the patient, it simultaneously supplies a pressurized pulse of air through control tube 52 to close the valve 46 and therefore the exhalation tube 42. The source 18 allows the valve to open during the exhalation portion of the breathing cycle.
A plurality of tube-supporting hangers are indicated at 54, 55 and 56 for supporting the inhalation and exhalation tubes as they extend from the ventilator 14 to the patient 12. The inhalation and exhalation tubes generally vary in elevation between the ventilator and the patient so that there are locations along these tubes of relatively high and low elevation. Trap 30 is preferably located at a location in series with tubes 16 and 17 and at a point of relatively low elevation so that liquid, and in this case, water condensation or precipitation formed on the inner walls of the tubes 16 and 17 will tend to flow toward water drain 30. The greatest amount of condensation will generally form in tubes 16 and 17 and especially in tube 16 where the gas is at its highest temperature.
As also seen in FIG. 2, the water trap or drain 30 is shown including a hollow housing member 60 having an upper Y-shaped tube connector portion 62 providing a drain inlet passage or chamber 64. The Y-connector 62 has a pair of tube connectors 66 and 68 connected respectively to the inhalation tubes 16 and 17 (FIG. 1). Gas can freely flow through the connectors 66 and 68, and chamber 64 during the inhalation portion of the breathing cycle.
Housing 60 includes a lower, generally cup-shaped portion 70 providing a collection or liquid trap chamber 72 having a drain outlet 74 at the bottom of the chamber. A drain tube 76 is shown connected to outlet 74 and can be used to continuously drain precipitated water from collection chamber 72 into a building drain system or, as in FIG. 1, an auxillary container such as shown in phantom at 78. In FIG. 2, drain tube 76 is shown with one end connected to outlet 74 and with the other end frictionally engaged by the walls of a slot 80 formed in the top wall of Y-connector 62. An opening to the slot indicated at 82 may be used to hang the drain 30 from a support member. For example, a partially shown hook or wire 84 is shown in FIG. 1 extending from the slot 82 to support the drain 30.
A liquid permeable, gas impermeable barrier member 86 is disposed between the inlet and outlet chambers 64 and 72 of drain 30. A relatively rigid barrier support member 88 is disposed between the chambers 64 and 72 and is supported adjacent its periphery by a ribbed wall having a plurality of circumferentially spaced, generally vertically extending ribs 90 on the interior wall of lower housing portion 70. The support 88 is provided with at least one opening or passage and is shown with a plurality of drain openings or passages 91 to allow liquid to flow from the breathing system and inlet chamber 64 through barrier 86 to the outlet chamber 72. The barrier member 86 continuously covers or closes each of the passages or openings 91 against the flow of gas but not liquid, as will be discussed hereafter.
The upper housing member 62 is provided with a generally annular wall 92 which engages and bears on the upper surface of barrier 86 adjacent its periphery and which urges the bottom side of barrier 86 against a flat annular upper wall surface 93 of the support 88 to thereby seal the upper chamber 64 during operation, preventing the leakage of gas from the drain 30.
The upper housing member 62 is shown with its bottom periphery 94 formed around an outwardly extending peripheral flange 95 at the upper edge of the lower housing member 70 to fix the upper and lower housing members together. These housing members are preferably formed of a suitable, substantially rigid plastic material, such as polypropylene, polyethylene or the like. Preferably, the housing 60 is made sufficiently rigid to substantially maintain its shape under all fluid pressure conditions of the system. These members may be molded and then, when assembled, the lower periphery 94 of the upper member 62 may be thermally formed about the radial flange 95 of the bottom member 70 to connect the members together.
A vent opening 96 near the top of the collection chamber 72 allows air to escape from chamber 72 as it fills with drainage liquid during operation where water is to be collected in chamber 72. Vent 96 also allows collected liquid or water in chamber 72 to be drained such as through tube 76 when the tube is removed from its position in FIG. 2, that is, vent 96 allows air from the atmosphere to enter the chamber as the collected water is emptied from chamber 72 through the drain 74.
The barrier 86 is of a material which allows liquid to pass through it but does not allow gas to pass through it during operation of the system. For example, the barrier 86 may be made of a suitable fibrous, cellulosic, hydrophilic material such as conventional laboratory filter paper. Such filter paper is gas permeable when dry, but when wetted with a liquid or water becomes impermeable to gas at pressures below the bubble point of the paper. Thus, when a cellulosic filter paper is employed, the barrier 86 is preferably wetted before the system is completely placed into operation so that the barrier will be gas impermeable at the start. However, where desired, the system may be operated so that the system precipitation wets the barrier to thereafter prevent gas flow through it.
A preferred barrier 86 is shown in FIG. 3 and includes a layer of filter material such as a cellulosic, fibrous, hydrophilic laboratory paper 97 which is provided with a liquid or water soluble, gas impermeable dry coating or film 98, such as a dry polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) layer or film. Where the gas impermeable layer 98 is used, the barrier is gas impermeable before the barrier is wetted by precipitated water. When such a filter material is used, the precipitated water will disolve the layer or coating 98 during operation of the system and flow through the filter material 97 causing it to become wetted and therefore gas impermeable. By employing this material with the layer thereon, it is not necessary to pre-wet the barrier in order to prevent ventilation gas from flowing through the barrier and out of the device at the start of operation of the system. A dry film or sheet 98 of PVA may be heat sealed to one side of the paper 97. Also, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) film or coating of a liquid soluble, gelatinous material may be used to coat member 97. Preferably, the upper side of the barrier 86 and radially inner side of barrier 106 are provided with the dry gas barrier layer. This tends to provide a slightly better gas barrier when dry. The barrier material should, of course, be chosen such that it will pass water at a desired flow rate and be able to withstand the gas pressures encountered in the system.
In operation, with the patient tube 38 disposed in the mouth of the patient 12, and the system connected to the volume ventilator 14, pulses of a gas, such as air or a desired mixture of oxygen and air, are supplied to the ventilator outlet tube 20 on the inhalation portion of the breathing cycle of the system. This gas is heated and humidified as it passes through the heated water 22 in humidifier 24 and into inhalation tube 16. The humidified gas passes through Y-connector 62 of drain 30, through inhalation tube 17, connector 34, and then into the tube 38 and the lungs of the patient 12. During inhalation, the ventilator source 18 supplies a pulse of gas to the exhalation valve 46 through control tube 52 to close the valve to thereby close off or prevent gas flow into the exhalation tube 42.
At the end of the inhalation pulse of air, the valve 46 is opened such as by reducing the air pressure in control tube 52 as controlled by circuit 18. Gas from the lungs is then exhaled through connector portion 40, exhalation tubes 42 and 43, valve 46, and the volume monitor and vent device 44 within the ventilator. Since the exhalation tubing will be substantially open to atmosphere through circuit 44 of the ventilator 14, there is little resistance to gas flow in the exhalation tubing so there is negligible backflow of exhalation gas into the inhalation tubing where the resistance to backflow is relatively high.
During continued operation of the ventilation system 10, water condenses especially on the inner walls of tubes 16 and 17 because of the humid, warm air flowing in the tubes. This precipitated water flows to a point of relatively low elevation such as at the location of the water drain or trap 30 in FIG. 1. Water flows into inlet chamber 64 through the barrier 86, and into the outlet or collection chamber 72. When the drain tube 76 is positioned to continuously drain condensed liquid, such as shown in FIG. 1, liquid will flow through tube 76 and into auxillary container 78 or other receiver. Where the tube 76 is connected as shown in FIG. 2, the collection chamber 72 fills and collects the liquid because the tube outlet end is above the upper level of chamber 72. As the chamber 72 fills, it displaces air from the chamber through the vent opening 96. Where desired, the drain tube 76 can be pushed further into the slit 80 to close it off or a tube clamp may be used to close the drain tube.
It is apparent that the water condensing on the inner walls of tubes 16 and 17 can continuously flow through the drain device 30 and into container 78 or other device without interrupting the breathing cycle. The collection chamber 72 can be allowed to fill and then be emptied or drained through tube 76 without interrupting the flow of gas to the patient and without disconnecting any parts of drain housing 60. Since the barrier 86 continuously maintains the passages 91 closed to the flow of gas during operation including during the draining or emptying of the drain 30, the use of a drain valve and the problems and disadvantages associated with such valves are obviated. Also, the collection chamber 72 of the lower housing portion 70 may be made as large as desired since it does not add to the system compliance or pressure loss of the system since the barrier 86 is gas impermeable.
In FIG. 4, a water drain or trap of modified construction is indicated generally at 100. Drain 100 includes a section of inhalation tubing 102 having at least one drain opening, and it is shown having a plurality of openings or holes 104 at the bottom of the tube. Barrier material 106 is shown in the form of tape strips wrapped about the holes 104 to cover all of the holes provided in the tube section 102. Portions of the tape 106 may be adhesively or otherwise secured to the surface of the tube section 102 to maintain the barrier material in sealing covered relation with the holes 104. A container 108 which may be a rigid member or a pliable plastic bag or sheath, is shown on the tube section 102 and at least covers the holes 104. The bag 108 may be sealed at each end by any suitable means, such as an adhesive or by a heat seal. The bag 108 may be provided with an outlet or drain tube, such as indicated at 110, for draining liquid from the bag 108. The tube 102 may be connected at its opposite ends to inhalation tubes 16 and 17 in place of device 30 of FIG. 1 so that inhalation gas will flow through the tubes 16, 17 and 102 from the source of gas 18 to the patient 12. These tubes may be integrally formed as a single tube.
The barrier 106 functions similarly to the barrier 86 of the water trap 30 of FIG. 1. Barrier 106 may be made of the same barrier material as barrier 86 and may be either a filter paper provided with a water soluble, gas impermeable layer, such as a polyvinyl alcohol layer, or it can be uncoated filter material. As gas flows through the tube section 102 during operation of the inhalation system, precipitated liquid or water flows through openings 104 and the barrier 106 and into the container bag 108 where such bag is used. The liquid may be allowed to flow out of outlet drain 110 and into another container or drain system if desired. One or more small vent openings indicated at 112 may be provided in the container 108 where it is made of a rigid material and if it is to be filled with liquid so that air may be displaced into the atmosphere by water condensation flowing into the container 108 and air can enter the container when being emptied. Vent 112 may not be necessary where the container 108 is made of an elastic material.
Such a system as shown in FIG. 1 may employ one or more water drains or traps, such as trap 30 or trap 100, at various low elevational locations. For example, a trap may be employed at the lowest point of exhalation tube 43 adjacent the ventilator. In both liquid drains or traps 30 and 100, the barrier closes the fluid passages (91 or 104) in the hollow conduit members 60 and 102 through which drainage liquid passes, and the barrier remains in place during operation of the system and during the draining of the system.
As various changes could be made in the above-described constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Super cute & whimsical
This carry on is so cute and so classy looking for being whimsical at the same time. It is a good size and has handles and wheels for convenience. The only thing I wish was different was that it had some pockets on the inside and that it was pink or red or a pattern that popped when it's opened. I think whoever purchases this would be looking for something fun and whimsy so it should have carried on the inside as well.Read More

If you've ever lugged a heavy suitcase through an airport, you will be shocked how relieving it is to roll lightly packed Samsonite luggage through your next vacation. Some airlines and flights will require more compact, lighter luggage. Learn now so you are prepared to take your Samsonite luggage anywhere. Whether you have wheeled luggage, luggage sets or carry-on luggage, you will still benefit from packing light. Instead of packing your Samsonite luggage until it is bursting at the seams on every trip, here are some tips on how to keep your next trip weighty luggage-free.
FAQs about Business Cases
The right business case helps you get the job done. Whether you are toting important papers on the train or carrying your laptop through an airport, a business case needs to be stylish, functional and durable. You have many options when shopping for business cases, briefcases and laptop bags. Some bags are made of handsome leather, while other pieces of luggage are made from durable nylon. To find the best luggage for your business essentials, consider these common questions and then compare laptop cases, briefcases and other functional bags.
Hardside Luggage vs Softside Luggage
There are some very obvious differences between hardside luggage and softside luggage. But there are also a lot of more subtle differences, and knowing all the differences between the two types of luggage can help you find a luggage set that is right for you and makes your travels easier. Materials: Hardside luggage is usually made of aluminum or polycarbonates. They are chosen because they have a good strength-to-weight ratio. Softside luggage is made of a variety of materials, including vinyl, cotton, polyester, leather and other durable materials. These materials are chosen because they are lightweight, flexible and durable. Features: The features offered on softside and hardside luggage are nearly identical. They both often offer wheels and extendable handles for convenience when carrying the luggage. Inside, they can have an array of pockets for holding toiletries or preventing clothes from getting wrinkled. What can be different is that softside luggage typically has several pockets that are accessible without opening the suitcase. Also, softside luggage almost always uses zippers to hold it close, but hardside luggage will have some type of latch to secure it. Price: Many factors determine the cost of luggage; one of which is the materials it is made of, but features, size, brand and other factors play a part as well. Not all hard materials are the same and not all soft materials are the same, but on average, the initial cost of hardside luggage is going to be higher than the initial cost of comparable softside luggage. One thing to consider though is value. If you are a frequent flyer, the initial cost of hardside luggage might be offset by its longevity. Use: If you are someone who keeps their luggage close to them and will only take a carry-on with you, the lightweight, flexibility of softside luggage might be better for you. The rigid shape of a hardside case doesn't always conform to the shape of an overhead bin; however, if you like to check your bags, hardside luggage is less likely to be damaged when thrown around in the holding area and will keep its contents from getting crushed when another bag gets thrown on top of it. Bottom line: When it comes down to it, both softside luggage and hardside luggage do the same basic thing. But the choice is about you and what you want. Do you want something that is incredibly durable and will protect everything inside of it? Or would you rather have luggage that is more flexible and lightweight?

Business Case Buying Guide
The way you choose to carry your work speaks volumes about you professionally. A good business case can make all the difference in the respect shown to you by the colleagues in your business organization. It makes sense, too; your choice of briefcase or laptop bag shows the level of business concern you have for your work. Of course, the admiration of your co-workers isn't the only benefit provided by a great business case. The right briefcase can also help you stay organized and may even add an underlying dash of style to your work life. Picking the right bag requires a number of considerations, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Save the hard work for when you're on the clock: finding a perfect travel bag, laptop bag or luggage shouldn't be a confusing mess of frustration. To simplify the task of finding a good bag for your needs, break it down. You will want to consider several attributes for your new business case or travel bag, including how you will be using it, the sort of shell that best suits you, your preferred material and the carrying style that will fit your work.
Best Luggage Alternatives to Fanny Packs
Fanny packs are a practical alternative to a small handbag or carrying case, but fanny packs aren't your only option for carrying valuables while you're traveling or participating in recreational activities. There are several luggage alternatives to fanny packs that give you a place to store and carry small items such as a camera, wallet, keys, an MP3 player and other valuables. From messenger bags to drawstring backpacks, you have a variety of options to choose from as alternatives to a fanny pack.
Carry-on Computer Bag Tips
If you travel with your laptop a lot, your computer bag is essential. When you fly for business meetings or simply need to take your computer with you everywhere you go, a carry-on computer bag is even more important. Choose computer bags and laptop cases that will protect your laptop and meet TSA guidelines for carry-on luggage so you can keep your valuable data and electronics with you at all times. Follow these tips for a safe trip with your carry-on computer bag.
Best Travel Cases for Tablets
Tablets are the hottest new electronics right now. Their slim shape and portable style make them ideal for both business and play. Whether you're toting your tablet to a business meeting or bringing it to class to take notes, make sure it stays protected while you travel with a tablet case. Although you can easily slip a small tablet into a case designed for laptops, using a streamlined piece of luggage made especially for tablets will make your carry-on lighter and easier to fit into small spaces.
Best Situations for a Duffel Bag
While a lot of luggage pieces have singular uses, duffel bags are great for a variety of jobs and tasks. This versatile type of luggage can help you in several different circumstances. Duffel bags come in many sizes and with multiple features to make packing around everything you need much easier, making them perfect for certain uses. Read on to learn the best situations for a duffel bag. Travel: Thanks to their ability to expand, duffel bags are perfect for travel. If you have a lot of items that you need to pack, leather duffel bags are an excellent choice. They not only offer you plenty of room to carry everything, but they are stylish, too. Most leather duffel bags are small enough that you can use them as carry-on luggage. When packed correctly, these handy pieces of baggage can store virtually everything you need to take on a short trip -- from clothes to hygiene items -- without the time and hassle of checking your bag. Gym: One place where you'll always see duffels is in the gym, and for good reason: This versatile piece of baggage can hold all the gear you need. Canvas duffel bags are ideal for the gym because they allow you to store your workout gear, street clothes and any other items you may need -- such as water bottles and hygiene supplies -- and many canvas duffel bags can be thrown in the washer with your gym clothes, so you can keep them fresh. Rolling duffel bags make great gym bags if you workout in the morning and need to take everything for the day with you. School: If you're a busy student, duffel bags can be a real boon. Fill a rolling duffel bag with books, school supplies, snacks and items you may need after school, such as your keys, wallet and work uniform. The storage will help you stay on top of your schoolwork, and the wheels will prevent it from becoming a pain in the back. Wheeled duffels also make great carry-on luggage, while large duffel bags are great for extracurricular activities. Sports: No other luggage is as useful to athletes as the duffel bag. Because they're easily carried, large duffel bags are perfect for storing and transporting sports uniforms and equipment. Reach the field with all of your important gear by keeping it all together in a duffel. Buy Duffel Bags Back to Guides Directory Buy Duffel Bags
Benefits of Using a Travel Backpack When Traveling
Travel backpacks offer a number of benefits for all types of travelers and may be an attractive alternative to larger tote bags, duffel bags and miniature suitcases. Whether you're traveling with a backpack over a long distance or traveling by plane with a small backpack as a carry-on, use a travel backpack designed with extra compartments and tight-fitting, portable style to ensure a comfortable travel experience. Easy to stow and store: The design of a travel backpack makes it easy to store it in overhead bins in a bus, train or airplane. The soft sides of a backpack let it conform to tight storage spaces. Many travel backpacks have compression straps that let you cinch the packs contents down to take up less space. Comfort: Travel backpacks put less strain on your body than most other kinds of luggage because their weight doesn't pull on one side of your body. Travel backpacks are designed to evenly distribute their load on your shoulders and hips, making them easy to carry for several hours. Thick straps with lots of padding make it even more comfortable. Keeps travelers organized: Many travel backpacks are designed with several compartments to store smaller items, such as water bottles, a cell phone, MP3 player, PDA, passport and subway tokens. This makes it easier to stay organized while traveling, ensuring that all your basic items and accessories are within easy reach. Easy to move around: Probably the biggest benefit of using a travel backpack is the ease of movement it provides. You don't have to worry about dragging a rolling suitcase up a flight of stairs. A travel backpack is also easier to maneuver through a crowd of people than most other types of luggage. Protects items from the elements: Many travel backpacks are made with water-resistant and waterproof fabrics that protect your valuables no matter what the weather forecast may look like. Travel backpacks made with polywick fabric, ballistic nylon and other weatherproofing materials are especially beneficial for travelers who will be outdoors for most of their trip.

Historians complain Government's WW1 commemoration 'focuses on British defeats'tags: Telegraph (UK), World War I, anniversaries, historians, Great Britain
Historians and campaigners have also criticised the tone of the plans unveiled so far; they believe politicians and officials are focusing too much on British defeats and the carnage and futility of the war, because they are too anxious to avoid upsetting Germans and want to make sure the events are not considered triumphalist.
However, the critics argue that by doing so, the Government is presenting only the modern, orthodox view of the conflict: that it was avoidable and unnecessary. It thus ignores arguments that, like the Second World War, it was a fight for survival.
They say that under the current plans, the Government has missed an opportunity to explain why the war was fought and failed fully to recognise the achievement of British forces.
The historians also compare the proposals unfavourably with more ambitious events being organised by Australia, Canada and New Zealand, whose men fought alongside the British....

Arizona Cardinals
Ken Whisenhunt's statement upon being relieved of duties
Coaching the Cardinals has been an incredible and rewarding experience and I will always be grateful to Mr. Bidwill, Michael and Rod for giving me that opportunity back in 2007.
I'm very proud of what we as a team and as an organization achieved during that time. Collectively we accomplished some very special and unprecedented things. That's a testament to the dedication, hard work and talent of so many coaches, players and people throughout the organization.
But we all understand this business and when you don't win enough games changes are made. That doesn't mean it's easy but you definitely don't have to look far to find people that have it much worse.
I want to especially thank Cardinals fans who treated my family and me so well and made our time in Arizona so special.
While this chapter ends for us, we are hopeful that the ones ahead of us will be as enriching as this one has been.

Tory On: Fall Florals
Fall florals evoke a wonderfully feminine, romantic mood, and I especially love the graphic nature of ours — it's a raised velvet jacquard, so there's texture and surface interest. I wanted to interpret this fabric in different, cool ways, so we did several styles, from an oversized coat to a tux-style jacket and skinny pants to a great, louche sweatshirt.
How do you wear it?
I'm wearing our Dayton dress in this picture. It's such a versatile look. I wear it to work, layered over a gray turtleneck, or to after-work events with a high black velvet shoe like Carley or Jezebel. I go understated with jewelry — the graphic floral makes such a statement.
What are some of your other fall favorites?
Velvet feels like such a perfect fall look — it has depth and a richness in deep hues and jewel tones alike. It gets you in the mood for those beautiful autumn days and evenings.

Teething and Tylenol?
We give our daughter Tylenol for teething pain, and she almost never has a real problem with pain until bedtime so she usually gets it at bedtime if she needs it. I've never thought anything of it and she's always done fine. Lately, though, the maximum dose of Tylenol hasn't been enough so I'm looking into some other options.

Inspires iris.

Unaware of dawning day
Dreaming of first love.
Bittersweet flower
Ever loyal to the end
Won't betray a friend.

Save the memories within
And forget-me-not.
Yellow hyacinth
With a heart that knows no peace
Nest of jealousy.
Morning breeze scatters
The rich fragrance of jasmine's
Deep sensuality.

Here in the garden
Here in the garden
Wagtail sings his happy song
He is so joyful.
Oh, such loveliness
How the roses smell so sweet
So many colours.
The dog is sleeping
The doves they walk up to him
He don't seem to care
The Mulberry tree
Dances on the summer breeze
Oh, so gracefully
The Parrots feeding
Pink and grey and beautiful
Noisy birds are they.
I sit drinking tea
As the sun it smiles at all
I just bask in peace
Such a lovely day
I could sit here forever
I am mesmerized.
Her hands
upon his window-sill
a climbing jasmine
I's walking alone
Near down the stream of silence
Called my spirit
"Ssshhh" calm blow of air
Embracing my warm body
Uplift my spirit
"Ribbit, Ribbit" Oh!
The amazing chants of frogs
Flattering my heart
"Buzzzzz" the busy bees
Dancing whilst butts were working
Ouch! sweet kiss you shared
"Tweet" the lovely birds!
Circling around the bright sun
What a wonderful!
"Tik" ...can't identify
There's moving under my feet
Alas! pygmy prey!
Can't count what I hear
Wake up my dear sleeping soul
Give one chance to live
beautiful petal...
withering upon fate's hour
retains its fragrance
Leonora Galinta's Destiny Contest
by nette onclaud
Cool breeze gently blows
Brilliant butterflies dancing
Rainbows in motion
Glorious gold beach
Sandcastles reach for the sky
Children having fun
Crisp leaves fall slowly
Green glens veiled in falls blanket
Sunset beneath trees
Cold icy morning
Dancing whirling wonderland
Snowflakes from heaven
one with the music
a vestibule for magic
love fills warm the air
bonsai beautiful
with white scented blossoms grow
though old still virile
gold red swirls and curves
the frozen flames light the night
save me brave fireheart
scampers a bright moon
gifts liquid life a lit view
watch them rendezvous
me and you love plant three rising ambient light one parasol folds * * Oxalis triangularis -the love plant
Hot sand in summer
Moon shines across the ocean
Just like your kisses
A peaceful evening
Gently caressing my arms
The shore swarms with love
Written: 2/22/15
Falling and Floating
So colourful and vibrant
Dropping from the trees
(beautiful!) immense
and Poseidon-like,--the sea
washes o'er my soul.
Nature teaches us
If the picture is complete
River full of life

A Beautiful Mind stands alone among the films the studios held back for year's end, when so-called Oscar candidates, so smugly serious and pretentiously overlong, are left to fill the holiday schedule. It's everything most movies this year have not been: deeply felt, genuine, gracious. It's the film Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky wanted to be but isn't because it has so little faith in its audience--a movie about the muddled life of the fractured mind, where "reality" is an empty, useless word. For the longest time, we have no idea what's real and what isn't to John Nash, who, at least early in his life, sees resolution where others perceive only chaos. Goldsman and director Ron Howard (who, at long last, delivers a film worthy of his beloved reputation) place us inside Nash's head until we feel as dizzy and baffled and frustrated as him--even those who go in knowing the outcome of his life's story.
The film opens on the Princeton campus in 1947, where a young Nash (played by Russell Crowe as though he's hiding a remarkable secret) has come to prove himself the greatest mind of his generation; he is standoffish and self-absorbed, unable and unwilling to make friends of his fellow students. "I don't like people," he explains through a soft Suth'n accent and the mischievous smile of a man who knows everything but feels nothing, "and they don't like me." One classmate describes him as a man with two brains and half a heart; Nash, a shuffling mass of ticks, concurs, insisting he's well-balanced only because, "I have a chip on both shoulders." He has but one friend on campus, a roommate named Charles (A Knight's Tale's Paul Bettany), and theirs is a peculiar relationship--that, more or less, of a man and his muse.
Nash, a man without Ivy League pedigree, wants only to matter, and when he makes his mark with a doctoral thesis about game theory--"His insight," Nasar wrote in her book, "was that the game would be solved when every player independently chose his best response to the other players' best strategies"--Nash is unable to distinguish between accomplishment and its attendant recognition. To him, it was merely inevitable he would be recognized as a genius.
In 1953, Nash is called upon by the government to crack Russian codes, which he can do by staring, endlessly, at seemingly random strings of letters. His acumen brings him to the attention of a man in black named Parcher (Ed Harris), who insists to Nash that the Russians are communicating to each other in newspaper articles and ads; in time, Nash comes to find meaning in everything, no matter how meaningless. For him, there is no such thing as coincidence--and, for a while, we are left to wonder whether such work has indeed rendered him crazy and paranoid. Inevitably, it takes a toll on his life and love for Alicia Lardes (a remarkable Jennifer Connelly), the student who seduced, then married, the teacher. Their relationship began couched in a mathematician's magic--in one remarkable scene that bounds between the saccharine and the sanguine, Nash uses his finger to light up constellations in the night's sky for Alicia--only to wind up as a torturous, dangerous mess.
In time, Nash is committed to a mental hospital, where Dr. Rosen (Christopher Plummer) diagnoses him as schizophrenic. He's forced to endure shock treatment, and the bright light inside him dies a little; Crowe's face grows slack, his eyes dim, his body goes flaccid. In the years to follow, he will come back to life and reopen his eyes, if only to stare down the demons that have taken shape. But the John Nash of Princeton 1947 is but a myth--a half-forgotten legend, at least until the 1980s and '90s, when his theories have become so much a part of the culture that they're taken for granted.
As a romance, between a madman and the woman who idolized him and loved him and never left him even after his descent into illness, it's wrenching. As a thriller, about Nash's secretive work for the government and its shadowy operatives, it's captivating. And in the end, it's a film about which one doesn't want to say too much; it plays almost like The Sixth Sense in a way, where things seen aren't always to be believed. To decipher them here would ruin the ambiguity, spoil the romance and dull the ache. What could well have been a lachrymose exercise of the sort Howard's known for fashioning is instead as haunting and long-lasting as a reverie--or a hallucination, perhaps. Appropriate, indeed.

Anybody know of a range with burners that lock?
I'm looking for a slide in electric range that has locking controls for the burners on the range top. I've seen a number with locks for oven controls, but not for the burners. I had a Jenn-Air previously that occasionally was turned on accidentally, apparently when someone leaned against it. We even had a fire start when (we think) the dog tried to get something laying on the cooktop, leaned against the knob and pushed it in, and then turned the burner on to high when he got down. I would think this would be something the manufacturers would be right on top of, with the knobs so close to a toddler's reach. (I asked a Wolf representative if their range had locks and he said no, but I could take the knobs off easily!) Thanks for any help.
I would expect a range with an electronic controlpad to have this function. And even if it didn't, it would be much more difficult to accidentally turn on because they're on the top.
As accident prone as your household is, you really ought to consider an induction range. The Electrolux slidein is awfully pretty. :)
5th on the induction. You can put your hand flat down on the burner and turn it on, and nothing will happen because your hand is not ferromagnetic. Even if you happened to have an iron hand, it would still have to be big enough to trip the sensor. :) You can have paper touching the burner and it won't catch fire. In fact you can put newspaper under your pan to catch the drips when you're cooking something splattery.
Your dog sounds like ours. He goes straight to the countertops to see if there is anything for him up there. I think he might have burned his nose a little when he tried to steal DH's sandwich out of the Foreman grill last night. All I know is he came out of the kitchen kind of fast, and without the sandwich. lol. (He is fine.) There is something to be said for short dogs.

IVF success story for patient from Delhi
Posted Sep 30 2012 10:27pm
Sachin and I were married in February 2000 and it was a very happy beginning to a new phase in our life. Time flew by and after two years we started thinking about extending our family. The first two years of trying to conceive yielded no result. The obvious step was to seek a specialist's advice. Several visits to different doctors and a long list of tests finally helped us zero in on IUI as a treatment option. I was elated that I was going to be a mother soon. But despite 8 IUI cycles there was no positive result. Then, a doctor suggested I try IVF.
I approached a very reputed hospital in Delhi and my first IVF cycle was initiated. I was disappointed at not being given an easy to understand, step-by-step guidance. There was also a lack of transparency in the type of embryos transferred and what was done with therest of the embryos. The two week waiting period passed very slowly and the day of the result arrived. I was very hopeful but the result was negative.
I was completely shattered and angry with God. I assumed that I was one of the unlucky few who is never meant to become a mother. I assumed no medical treatment was ever going to help me. I got completely involved with my job as a teacher and gave my 100% to it. Only about 4 years later I realized that I had not completely run out of time and deserved another chance to give IVF a shot.
So I went back to the same hospital but to a different doctor who had a better success rate,. I went through the IVF process again and was hopeful this time of a positive outcome but met with the same fate – a negative result.
This was in July 2011. Just when I had started my treatment in Delhi, my sister had surfed the net and informed me about Dr Aniruddha Malpani in Mumbai. Since I had already invested quite a lot of money, I decided to pursue my treatment in Delhi. But with the negative outcome, I thought of visiting Dr Malpani atleast once. My appointment was fixed for August and I met Dr Malpani at his clinic in Colaba.
Dr Malpani was very forthright and did not try to fill me with any false hopes.. He explained what the treatment would be and asked me to have a realistic expectation. He spoke of the many options I could choose from and also asked me to be prepared with a plan B of adoption since it was a lengthy process but would ensure peace of mind that if nothing worked, I would still have a baby in my life.
My IVF at the Malpani Infertility Clinic was done in January 2012. I waited for the result with a positive mindset but my result yet again was negative. But what was different this time was a comforting call from Dr Malpani himself. He said he was sorry that the treatment had not worked favourably and asked me to relax and that "what next" could be discussed later.
The next decision my husband and I arrived at was that we would go in for the guaranteed pregnancy programme, which involved four cycles. The word that captured my thought was "guaranteed". Even though this does not guarantee a pregnancy, at least it meant that if all four cycles end up without a positive result, our money would be refunded. As mercenary as it sounds, such procedures do cost a lot of money and one has to be pragmatic about it.
My 1st attempt at the guaranteed pregnancy programme was scheduled for June end/July beginning 2012. The IVF process took place and I went back to Delhi after about 4 days of rest and then resumed work. The long week did take really long to pass by. Finally, the day of the blood test was once again staring into my face. Several thoughts preoccupied me, My husband was out of India on work and I went for the blood test and then to school. I spent my day doing what I'm passionate about – teaching -- and did not allow the result to overpower my thoughts.
I had passed on the responsibility to check the report online to my sisters. On my way back from school, just took out my mobile phone and read a message from my sister - UNBELIEVABLE – can this be true – am I really lucky?!! I checked the report online – YES I was pregnant. I immediately spoke to my sisters, my mother and then confirmed the same to Dr Malpani's clinic. Then I called up my husband and broke the news of a lifetime to him – he was ecstatic!
Yes my first trimester was not a smooth one. I had bleeding issues, severe bleeding in my uterus, extreme nausea. But what kept me going was my positive attitude and the serenity prayer I was introduced to by Dr Malpani. Today, I am in my 2nd trimester & with double the happiness because I am carrying twins .
I just pray everyday that things remain fine and I thank God daily for the blessing bestowed upon us. Our prayers were delayed but not denied. When God says NO or asks you to WAIT – it is because he has something better in store for you. Keep the faith.
I highly recommend the services of Dr Aniruddha & Dr Anjali Mlapani. The most reassuring factor during both my IVF cycles here was the fact that Dr Malpani was extremely prompt in responding to my emails & to extend every possible support & guidance. When your doctor cares, it shows.
So don't lose heart ! Have faith, be strong & above all adopt a positive attitude & things will work favourably. Thank you Dr Aniruddha & Dr Anjali Malpani for helping me experience the most beautiful phase of a woman's life – motherhood.

Product description
The birth of science in ancient Greece had a historical impact that is still being felt today. Physicist Demetris Nicolaides examines the epochal shift in thinking that led pre-Socratic philosophers of the sixth and fifth centuries BCE to abandon the prevailing mythologies of the age and, for the first time, to analyze the natural world in terms of impersonal, rationally understood principles. He argues not only that their conceptual breakthroughs anticipated much of later science but that scientists of the twenty-first century are still grappling with the fundamental problems raised twenty-five hundred years ago. Looking at the vast sweep of human history, the author delves into the factors that led to the birth of science: urbanization, the role of religion, and in Greece a progressive intellectual curiosity that was unafraid to question tradition. Why did the first scientific approach to understanding the world take place in Greece? The author makes a convincing case that, aside from factors of geography and politics, the power of the Greek language and a cultural proclivity for critical thinking played a large role. "In the Light of Science" is a unique approach to the history of science revealing the important links between the ancient past and the present scientific endeavor to understand the universe.

Review quote
"The thing I find most interesting is your discussions of how modern physics builds on and thus coincides in many ways with the philosophic speculations of the ancient Greeks." -" "Dennis Organ, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, and Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities, Harding University " " "The author explores the human desire to understand the most fundamental of questions about the universe, by narrating a succinct history of our species since its evolution 200,000 years ago, and by taking an exciting new approach in the comparison of ancient Greek philosophy with the theories of modern physics." -" "Ivana Djuric, Ph.D., Professor of Physics, Passaic County Community College

The Ant™ with four legs was a later version of the Ant™ three legs and it was not before 1971, after the death of Arne Jacobsen, that the four-legged version became an official product in the collection. The Ant™ with three legs was originally designed for Novo Nordisk, a Danish healthcare company and shown for the first time at Fritz Hansen's 80th birthday in 1952. About 3 months later the chair was shown at the spring exhibition at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art. This became Arne Jacobsen's international breakthrough as an architect. The Ant™ is one of the prominent icons of the collection today. The Ant comes in ten different veneers: Maple, Beech, Ash, Cherry, Oregon Pine, Elm, Oak, Walnut, Dark Stained Oak, or Full Dark Stained Oak.The Ash veneer version is also available in multiple different coloured stains (wood grain visible) or coloured lacquers (wood grain not visible).All chairs are made of pressure moulded slice veneer. The base is made of chromed steel tubes.

I'm caching the main page of my site as a flat html file, and then with .htaccess loading that file if the user is not logged in (since no user specific info is displayed), instead of loading my entire php framework.
The one downside to this is that PHP doesn't gzip the file automatically, since PHP is not even being used, as it's just a plain html file that is being loaded by the browser.
I tried this:
$html = gzencode($html);
$fp = fopen($cachefile, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $html);
But when the file url is loaded in a browser it is just a bunch of weird characters.
EDIT: I guess one simple solution would be to save the files as .php instead of html, that way the php ob_gzhandler compresses the file. I'm wondering if there's a performance gain to be had by serving up html that is already gzipped and skipping php altogether..

Metro Vancouver Needs To Stop Bullying Elected Councils
In a triumph for local democracy, the bully that is Metro Vancouver has been put in its proper place by a provincial judge. Metro Vancouver should save its taxpayers some money by forgoing an appeal in this case and accepting the fact that it doesn't always know best. Let's see a little more of this "collaborative federation," and a lot less bullying of elected councils.
