Hi All,
I have the above car and my partner bought me a Pioneer stereo for Christmas as he wanted me to have a proper hands free phone kit and also the previous CD player didn't work. The shop fitted the radio but didn't tell him the steering column controls would no longer work. We finally sorted sourcing the "correct" wiring leads and the shop got them and tried to fit them. Apparently there are two versions for 2004 due to the change in model of Golf by VW. When the shop's fitter tried to fit the lead he found the connector to the steering column wiring was not the right one. He made enquiries with the shops suppliers and as soon as he mentioned the issue, the supplier said "there was another model of Golf that year, slightly different but as not many were made the suppliers of these leads didn't think it worth making a lead that was suitable". This has left me with a new radio but I am unable to control it from my steering wheel. Does anyone out there PLEASE know of a way around this so my steering wheel controls will work.
Please note I am a 50+ year old woman who knows nothing about wiring or radios! .

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has announced it has accepted the resignation of its council member Bob Partridge.
Mr Partridge, who had been an elected member of the council since July 2006, tendered his resignation for "personal reasons".
Large animal and equine vet Peter Robinson will take up the vacated council position, said the RCVS, as he came next in the ballot in the 2013 election.
Mr Partridge – who qualified from the University of Edinburgh's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in 1984 – worked in small animal and equine practice in Lincoln after graduating. He then worked in Sheffield and Manchester before setting up his VetDentist practice in Harrogate in 1988.
A dentistry specialist, he founded the British Veterinary Dental Association, is a long-term member of the European Veterinary Dental Society and received a diploma from the European Veterinary Dental College in 2011, making him one of only six European dental specialists working in the UK.

Oedipus the Tyrant
In Jamey Hecht's poetical, lucid translation of Sophocles classic, director Thomas Bigley opts for a staid togas-and-sandals approach, with Jessica Pasternak's silky earth-tone costumes. A female chorus recites in unison Sophocles' meditations on the action, sometimes performing to Taylor Fisher's choreography of arms flung from torsos simultaneously, or the percussive effect of punctuating a line with a group stamp of the foot or slap of the palm. Combine that with Nicholas Neidorf's subtly brooding sound design and original compositions, plus a performance style that gets to the translation's formality with an emotional spontaneity and truthfulness, and what transpires is absorbing. This is remarkable, given the dangers lurking in the artifice the symmetry of Bigley's staging and Fisher's art design, the inherent possibilities of overacting and self-parody. These dangers almost never become manifest to choke this earnest endeavor. In the title role, the youthful Charles Pasternak makes for a sometimes relaxed, sometimes tempestuous monarch, with a charm that makes it apparent how he could have wandered into Thebes after a road-rage incident and stolen the heart of Queen Jocasta (the powerful Kate O'Toole). Dylan Vigus has a thunderous presence as the Priest who opens the play, and Hecht cuts plausible distinctions between his jaded Teiresias and his callow Messenger. The strongest aspect, which should please translator Hecht no end, is the commanding articulation of the poetical prose. The Porters of Hellgate at the Sherry Theatre, 11052 Magnolia Blvd., N.

NRL & ARL Join Forces To Barrack For Telstra On The NBN
By David Richards | Friday | 12/06/2009
In a joint submission the ARL and the NRL have gone into bat for Telstra in a submission that claims that Telstra should be allowed to become a media Company operating on the new National Broadband Network.
The two codes said that the notion that online media rights content could be subjected to a new anti-siphoning list or some other regulatory instrument, without significant financial hardship for a national sporting organisation is simply delusional. The comments were made in a submission to the Federal Government investigating the impact of a new National Broadband Network.
The joint codes submission rejected the notion that one content service provider of our media rights is dominant over others, as the rights allocation is currently spread across a wide variety of mediums.
The submission claims that "Significantly the government's discussion paper talks of the problems associated withTelstra becoming a media company but is silent on the growing reality that media companies are increasingly becoming on-line entities".
Should a Telstra or any other on line provide be excluded from bidding for unique content while media companies entering this space remain able to through their existing arrangements, then competition will in fact be reduced in direct contrast to the Government's stated goals. The codes submission claims.
The notion that online media rights content could be subjected to a new Anti-siphoning list or some other regulatory instrument, without significant financial hardship for a national sporting organisation is simply delusional. As the decentralisation of modern media continues to evolve, the proportion of rights funds gleamed from online rights will grow more rapidly than those of the more traditional media organisations.
These increasing funds are important to offset loses in traditional media funds while also increasing the reach, scale and scope of a national sport.
The Rugby League community would caution against any moves to increase the economic viability of the National Broadband Network over and above the wholesale network that would result from the rollout phase. The artificial inflation of the wholesale network to include premium content, for example: sports online media rights, which would need to be removed from a competitive market place would severely restrict the value that a national sporting organisation could realise and thus re-invest through its sport.
In the case of the NRL Telstra Premiership, Telstra's online and mobile sports properties have strongly benefited consumers and fans. Thanks to Telstra, sports fans can access high quality and up-to-date footage and information when, where and how they want.
The emergence of online and mobile content offerings gives consumers greater choice and higher quality access to content. Restricting Telstra's ability to acquire content will adversely impact Telstra's ability to develop and offer world leading products. This in turn will adversely affect our fans and consumers.
What is at risk?All funds received from the various media rights packages fund Rugby League from the top down. Rugby League needs to be able to sell its media rights with absolute certaintyin relation to the regulatory regime, across a wide range of platforms.
The revenue the ARL & NRL receive from the sale of online media rights benefits the development of Rugby League and the local communities in which it is played. Restricting, in any way, a potential buyer from acquiring online media content will obviously adversely affect revenues and the services offered to and by the Rugby League Community.
In 2008-2009 Rugby League will spend over $50 million on development activities across the breadth and depth of the Rugby League community, with total expenditureexceeding $200 million.
The Rugby League community firmly believes that the current telecommunication regulations are sufficient to allow for the Government's development of the National Broadband Network, without the need for further regulation.
Ultimately a sustainable NBN platform must be able to provide for a sustainable on-line economy for the production of the content that will decide its relevance to everyday Australians.

The Major Indoor Soccer League has disbanded in a move league officials say is a temporary one made in order to reorganize the league and prepare it for more changes and possible entry into new markets.
One market the league may not return to next season is the New York/New Jersey area, with sources telling SBI that the New Jersey Ironmen could be out of business after just one season. The Ironmen drew a large crowd to its first home match at Prudential Center in Newark, in large part to an appearance by Pele, but the club struggled all year to draw crowds, making the financial viability and future of the Ironmen extremely questionable.
What does the future hold for the MISL? That is anybody's guess.
What do you think of this news? Have you gone to indoor matches? Do you think the league is doomed to fail? Share your thoughts on the MISL disbanding, and Ironmen potentially disappearing, below.
I hope they do come back, although completely different from the outdoor game, it was entertaining
i only saw 1 game on FSC, but were there in fact 2pt goals as well as 1pt goals?? either way, i hope they drop that and bring in Futsal instead… a far superior game compared to the walled in red-headed step child version… itd be cheaper then indoor, plus theres alot more 1 on 1's and fancier tricks being pulled… indoor always seemed to me as who can run the fastest and kick the hardest
Indy used to have a an indoor team, but they went away quite some time ago….
I dunno.. indoor soccer seems to have a new league every 3 years.. I just don't know if it will ever catch on enough to have enough support..
You mean Jamar Beasley is going to have to blame someone else yet again? After all, he washed out of AC Milan, helped Puteolano get demoted out of a professional level in Italy, & washed out of MLS. Now possibly no more futsal either?
I got to watch the home opener this year from a lux box, I was lucky. And it wasn't even remotely entertaining. To be fair, I hate seeing ANY soccer league disappear, and I wanted MISL to succeed just for the sake of the sport.
But it wasn't soccer…2 points for a goal? 3 pointers? No one even close to talented? I didn't want the league to fail, but it was destined to fail even before it began.
Graeme- the MISL was far from Futsal
Hincha Tim
I would like to see the MISL reinvent itself as a Futsol league. I think it would really catch on and has much more long term potential as futsol is growing tremendously in popularity with the general soccer playing crowd. You could bring in some Brazilian stars, etc.
kpugs- thanks for verifying my theory on the league… couldnt understand how the teams would put away 2 pointers… my problem with it is it seems to be trying to draw in non-soccer fans first by incorporating larger scores….
start promoting Futsal… get rid of the walls completely… it'll be cheaper… smaller field…. fewer players… and the game will show off more ind. talent
I find the MISL games enjoyable, but I would only pay $10 max for a ticket. So how much money can you make? I'm not surprised.
Wonder if their coach will Join Osario's staff now?
NJ Guy Stuck in DC
Fun to play when it is winter outside; awful to watch. Will never be more than a curiousity sport in most areas and a waste in an area like NJ/NY where there is a lot of stuff going on.
Brian from Aston
The MISL really only appeals to little kids, because of the high score, once yet get older, it's a waste of money to watch. I also agree with the emergence of futsal, if people want to see American creativity on the ball, that will help develop it…since we could use some creativity on the nat'l team now!!
I am really happy that this secondary sport failed. Personally, anything that directly competes with the MLS is something I do not want to succeed. So I am happy that the following of the NJ Ironmen will now have more resources to throw into MLS and the NYRB.
I have always felt that soccer fans should watch soccer (not futsal or indoor), American football fans should watch football (not that arena crap), and the same for all variations of sports.
I went to quite a few Cleveland Force games in the mid-to-late '80s (and watched them on WUAB 43) and played indoor soccer in the winter for 6 or 7 years as a youth player as well. It was a good way to stay in shape and maintain your skills during the winter but I can't exactly say I'm sad to see it go. I was hardly aware it existed anyway.
Anything that gets people interested in soccer is a good thing. However, MISL made the same mistakes as MLS in starting out: They tried to reinvent the wheel. Use futsal rules and work with US Soccer to develop the US National Futsal Team. We have done well in the Futsal World Cup before but with a pro futsal league we could do even better. Stop with the lame 2-pt and 3-pt goals and have some respect for the sport.
I disagree that indoor takes away from MLS. The timing of the leagues allows for year round.
nathan3e is right about the alliances. Is is strange enough that ULS and MLS have no connection, much less MISL. These league need to connect in order to provide product for all major markets in the US and year round play.
I'm not sure if indoor is viable in the long run or if we'd really miss it if it went under. Honestly, I rarely watched it and Detroit plays twenty minute from my house.
However, we can't have our soccer leagues working against each other.
No where else in the world has such an organization. I typically don't care what other countries do but, in this case, a revamp throughout the sport is necessary.
Soccer only makes up one half of one percent of the American sports market. Contrary to popular belief among soccer afficienados, the sport can fail to take hold as it has many times before. The leagues must cooperate if they want to avoid that happening again.
I think they should just can the indoor thing and go with Futsal instead. I have only seen youtube clips, but it looks pretty cool.
I went to my first MISL game almost 30 years ago. For many years it was the only professional soccer league in this country that I am aware of. The Cleveland Force will always bring back some great memories for me. They were the first soccer team I ever was a fan of. I am not against any opportunity for soccer players in this country to earn an income. I hope the MISL can come back and keep soccer being played throughout the winter months.
Interesting article Ives. I never went to MISL but futsal looks fun. I have played indoor soccer and it is a lot different than playing outdoors. As far as MISL succeeding, MLS still only has a few teams who have turned a profit, and that is with soccer which is a more followed sport than futsal.
Will the MLS be after any of the players in MISL?
Tim F.
I have not followed MISL; indoor matches are too far away from CT.
I know that MISL had survived for sometime although I don't know how strong its financial footing has been.
If I had to choose, I would rather support a stronger MLS reserve league than an indoor league (although I think amateur futsal is great and hope it continues!!!)
Sandro- not sure what you think Futsal is, but it's a more technical version of soccer… small field… no walls… tiny ball… it is the indoor sport the rest of the world plays… popular down south (ie. s.america) and all of the greats have played it…
alot of the issues with people not following soccer is it's slow and uneventful (as ignorant of an opinon as that is, thats the issue)… Futsal solves both… its a quick game with loads of 1 v 1's and technical moves….
good riddance
I went to a few of the Baltimore Blast games — and it was a blast! haha… But seriously – the pricing was so high for a low-rate indoor match – i was paying 24+ for nosebleeds – but it was a great crowd and atmosphere. Id rather put my 24$ for a decent seat at RFK to support United.
Who cares? It's not soccer. I will always view indoor "soccer" as the sport the soccer haters tried to use to replace the real soccer in this country.
Ironmen continue operations.
WUSA "temporarily suspended operations" to "reorganize". That was five years ago. No one has heard of them since.
Hincha Tim
Do not equate futsal and indoor soccer, either to play or to watch. Futsal is an internationally recognized sport which is exciting to watch and is, if anything, more technical and exciting than outdoor (and this comes from a lifelong outdoor soccer player). More and more soccer clubs (including the club I coach for) are recognizing the importance of futsal for developing gifted technically accomplished players. I think a pro futsal league with modest ambitions could actually do very well. Salt Lake City has a big tournament every January and it is exciting to go watch the different levels.
ag nigrin
I feel bad for them but never really cared for the indoor game… It was like the 35 yard offside rule and the shootout for ties in the old NASL… a gimmick to hope Americans would gravitate towards soccer…
Alan in Detroit
MISL – an acquired taste. Not one that I acquired, after seeing a few games on FSC. The Detroit team was well supported and promoted, since Hantz was a bigwig in the league and owner of the Detroit team. However the ticket prices were insane (+$20), and the venue was hard to get to in the far western suburbs.
I really like the futsal idea that others have posted. At least that is a game that has some international following.
What would the possibility be of MLS having a winter futsal league for their players to do during the off season. Make it two months long with straight home and away games with no playoffs. It would be for the players that aren't getting a lot of playing time and could use the extra work. I think it would help bring the league standard of play up. The are a million problems but everything I hear about Futsal says it helps your game.
Sharkrunner- a great idea.. altho we'd be looking at a load of new expenses… a place to play… jersey's… travel… while it may help the league, it could also drive debt into the pockets of the owners…
if it wouldnt, then i would say it would be an excellent idea

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/247,820, filed Oct. 24, 1988, now abandoned.
This invention relates to providing an article for absorbing body fluids. More particularly, this invention relates to an absorbent pad for use in products such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, diapers and the like.
In general, such products comprise one or more layers of a core of hydrophilic material such as wood pulp, rayon, tissue or the like. The hydrophilic material, generally fibrous in form, is provided as a pad having a rectangular or oblong shape or, in some cases, a shape designed to fit the anatomy of the wearer more closely. Such products may also be designed to have wings or flaps, which extend transversely from the product and serve to protect the wearer's panty from becoming stained due to the tendency for body fluid to flow over the sides of the napkin. The pad is usually provided with an enveloping cover pervious to body fluids on the side of the pad which is to be placed against the body and impervious to such fluids on the side facing away from the body. The object of such a body fluid impervious cover is, of course, to protect the wearer's clothing from staining and wetting.
In general, such products have satisfactorily performed their function of absorbing and retaining body fluids and preventing staining and wetting of the wearer's clothing. When the product is properly placed and retained by the wearer in its intended position, bodyfluid is directed at or near the center of the product and distributes, by means of liquid wicking, radially from the point of deposition throughout the absorbent medium. However, sometimes the product is misplaced, or becomes saturated with use. Further, the width of the product is generally much smaller compared to the length of the product. After striking the surface of the product, the fluid radiates approximately equally in all directions from the point of deposition. Thus, it tends to strike the longitudinal sides of the product before it travels toward the ends of the product, potentially causing staining at the sides before the full absorbent capacity of the product is utilized.
Sometimes, body fluid strikes the pad off-center and closer to the peripheral edges of the pad. If the body fluid strikes the pad off-center, the fluid tends to wick toward the side closest to which the fluids struck the pad and cause a failure, i.e., the staining and wetting of the clothing of the wearer by body fluid. Such failures are known as "side failures".
There have been efforts in the past to direct the flow of fluid in a longitudinal direction in order to Provide means to saturate the napkin longitudinally, rather than laterally. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,524,474 (Svensson) describes an absorption pad for protecting a bed which includes a lower liquid impervious material layer and an upper liquid absorbent material layer laminated to the lower layer. The liquid absorbent layer is impregnated with strings or filaments of a liquid-resistant agent which does not stiffen the pad. The strings form a grid-like pattern for defining compartments between the strings over the entire area of the absorption pad. However, a grid-like pattern would not be effective in a sanitary napkin or like product because such a pattern would not effect a longitudinal saturation without aiding a lateral saturation. Furthermore, strings or filaments would not prevent excessive seepage throughout the absorbent material.
Canadian Patent No. 803,531 (Ruffo) describes a pad having a moisture-proof wrapper which is corrugated into a series of alternate, parallel ridges and grooves extending lengthwise of the napkin. This moisture-proof wrapper is placed beneath the absorbent layer and acts as a series of troughs to guide the body fluid along the longitudinal axis. However, this moisture-proof wrapper appears only at the bottom of a fibrous absorbent layer, thus allowing the body fluid to continue to flow along the transverse axis of the absorbent material and over the sides of the napkin.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,954,107 (Chesky et al.) describes an absorbent article having side portions which define a longitudinally extending channel adjacent the lateral midpoint of the pad, the side portions separating during use to expose an increased area of the pad assembly. However, this type of assembly may prove awkward during use, as it is designed to separate and fail to remain integrated. This pad is also likely to deform, which increases the probability of product failure.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an absorbent product capable of controlling and directing flow of body fluid so as to prevent failure at the sides and/or ends of the absorbent product.
Thus, it is an object of this invention to provide an absorbent product which is capable of directing body fluid to flow in longitudinal directions while substantially impeding the flow of such body fluid in transverse directions.
Another object of this invention is to provide an absorbent product which substantially prevents side failure.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide an absorbent product which may become largely saturated with body fluid without incurring side failure.
Another object of this invention is to provide a sanitary protection product which makes efficient use of the absorbent capacity of its absorbent element.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a chambered sanitary protection product which substantially maintains its structural integrity during use.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, an absorbent product is provided having means to direct fluid flow substantially along the longitudinal direction of the product and substantially limit or prevent side failure by substantially preventing the flow of fluid across the transverse axis of the product. In the absorbent product of this invention, two or more "canals", or chambers, are provided within an absorbent element which act to separate the absorbent element into a plurality of separate longitudinal absorbent areas along the longitudinal axis of the absorbent element.
The absorbent areas are separated by fluid repellent areas. These fluid repellent areas may be formed by the moisture barrier layer, which can be nipped or molded and formed into U-shaped canals. Alternatively, the fluid repellent areas may be formed of fluid repellent material such as fluid repellent fibers, fiber webs, repellent tissue, polymeric foams or polymeric films arranged along the longitudinal axis of the absorbent element. The fluid repellant areas may include a relatively hydrophobic, or fluid repellent, cover or barrier material. Should a chamber become saturated with body fluid, the fluid will spill into the adjacent chamber.
Absorbent materials such as cellulose fiber, wood pulp, rayon, peat moss, pulp mixed with superabsorbent and the like may be placed in the canals to provide absorbent capacity. The absorbent element may be covered with a fibrous facing material, such as a non-woven fabric which aids in transmitting body fluid to the absorbent element. A clean, dry cover made of apertured polymeric film or repellent-treated fiber, which is hydrophobic and fluid permeable may also be used for this function. For example, an apertured film made in accordance with the teachings of U.S. Pat. No. 4,690,679 (Mattingly et al.) may be used. Preferably, a hydrophilic, or wetting nonwoven layer of material may be bonded to such clean and dry cover in order to improve said cover's wicking capacity.
FIG. 1 depicts a perspective partial cross-sectional view of a sanitary napkin 100 with a plurality of chambers 115.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 depicts another preferred embodiment of the invention where the cover sheet has been removed to permit viewing of the absorbent material.
FIG. 4 depicts another preferred embodiment of the invention where the sanitary napkin 100 contains three chambers 415.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is another preferred embodiment of the invention where chambers 615, 617, and 619 are separated by cover 670.
FIG. 1 depicts a cross-sectional view of a sanitary napkin 100 made in accordance with the principles of this invention. Sanitary napkin 100 is provided with a centrally located absorbent element 110 having generally longitudinally extending edges 120 and 125 and transversely extending ends 130 and 135. Sanitary napkin 100 has a garment-facing side 105 and a body-facing side 107. Absorbent element 110 is composed of a plurality of chambers 115 extending along the longitudinal axis of the napkin. Chambers 115 are formed by fluid repellent barrier 140.
Fluid repellent barrier 140 may be formed into said chamber-separation means by adhering the barrier into position with binder adhesive 150 between vertical spaces and then nipping repellent barrier 140. Repellent barrier 140 may be made of any polymeric film such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane or cellophane, or may be a normally fluid pervious material that has been treated to be impervious, such as a fluid repellent paper or silicone-treated paper, repellent-treated-fabrics, coated tissues, superabsorbent carriers, microporous films or apertured polymeric films. The barrier may also be made of fiber webs containing fluid repellent fiber.
In one preferred embodiment, the repellent barrier may be a coextruded polyethylene/ethyl, vinyl-acetate copolymer film (PE/EVA). This film may be heated to activate the EVA and then nipped with the EVA side facing toward the garment facing side of the napkin. The structure will adhere in the nipped shape, thus forming chambers without the use of adhesive Binder adhesive 150 is also applied to the body facing surface 107 of repellent barrier in order to contact and adhere to absorbent material placed in the chambers
Materials other than polymeric film barriers and repellent non-woven facings may be used to create chambers in the absorbent products of this invention. For example, an insert strip of bonded 0.8 oz/yd2 Hollofil* (*a Trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours) hollow fibers may be placed between the chambers. Fluid transfer is then controlled by the density and thickness of the Hollofil* inserts. On the garment facing side of the absorbent element in such an embodiment, there should be located a moisture-proof barrier. Other materials useful as fluid repellant barriers include open cell foams (e.g. polyurethane), closed cell foams and microporous films.
Fluid repellant barrier 140 may be formed into a U-shaped middle chamber and one or more additional barriers may be added which are formed into larger U-shapes which are nested concentrically and arranged such that additional chambers are formed between the arms of the "U's". In such a configuration, the largest "U" forms an impervious barrier on the undergarment-facing side of the pad.
Binder adhesive 150 may be any of a large number of pressure-sensitive tack hot melt adhesives, thermosetting adhesives, cold glue adhesives or the like that are commercially available, including styrene/ethylene/butylene/styrene (SEBS) block terpolymers, styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymers and the like. Examples of hot melt adhesives useful as binder adhesives in the products of this invention are: Fuller HM-3350-C, available from the H. B. Fuller Co., hot melt adhesive containing amorphous polypropylene and hydrocarbon tackifiers (viscosity 3800�950 cps at 300� F., density 0.88 g ice at 70� F., softening range 1950��20� F., applicator temperature 275� F. to 325� F.). Eastobond A337S. (available from Eastman Chemical Products, Inc.), having an amorphous polypropylene base coated with polyethylene to facilitate handling (viscosity 1500�400 cps at 350� F., density 0.90�0.01 g/cc at 73� F., softening range 208� F.�12� F.-30� F. and applicator temperature 275�-325� F.); National Starch 5432-119-1 (available from National Starch & Chemical Corp.), having a viscosity of 2135 cps at 300� F., a softening point of 139 � F. and an applicator temperature of 250�-350� F.; and the like. Cold glue polyvinyl acetate-based adhesives are also useful. Binder adhesive may be applied in the form of longitudinal lines, sprays, spots, squares, transverse lines or any other suitable pattern.
High density absorbent material 160 may be placed at the bottom of each chamber 115 in order to provide a reservoir for holding absorbed body fluid. High density absorbent material 160 which may contain superabsorbent or peat moss or like material to aid in absorbing may be a densified wood pulp board, a densified pulp-polyethylene mixture, highly absorbent tissue impregnated with superabsorbent, cardboard or pulp fluff board which has been crushed to make it more flexible; a densified, compacted, porous, absorbent, fibrous layer having a particulate hydrocolloid material distributed therein such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,217,901, issued Aug. 19, 1980 (Bradstreet et al.) or the like. Such a superabsorbent may be a starch grafted polyacrylate powder having the formula: ##STR1## Low density absorbent material 165 such as cellulose fibers, wood pulp, pulp/polyester mixtures or the like is placed in each chamber 115 closer to the body facing side 107 of the napkin in order to wick body fluid away from the surface of the napkin.
Low density absorbent material 165 may be low density loosely associated cellulose fibers, e.g. wood Pulp fluff, regenerated cellulose, cotton fibers or bicomponent fusible fibers having an outer core which melts at relatively lower temperatures and an inner core which melts at higher temperatures. Such fibers may be chemically or physically modified and the absorbent element may include such fibers in combination with other materials, both natural and synthetic, such as hydrophilic foams, hydrophilic polymers or the like. Wood pulp is frequently the material of choice primarily because it is inexpensive and readily available.
Cover 170 surrounds absorbent element on the body facing side of the napkin and wraps around the longitudinal edges of the absorbent element and partially under the repellent barrier. Alternatively, cover 170 may surround the entire absorbent element so as to completely encase it. Cover 170 may also be folded between the chambers to form barriers, as shown in FIG. 6. Cover 170 may be any of the well known cover materials used in sanitary protection products, including, for example, nonwoven fabrics of cellulose, regenerated cellulose, polyester or other synthetic polymers. Additionally, polymeric film or films having apertures therethrough to render the materials pervious to fluids may also be employed. One cover material is a fabric containing a blend of pulp and fusible fibers such as heat bondable polyester/polyethylene conjugate fibers
Laminating adhesive 180, which may be a hot melt adhesive, is placed along longitudinal lines under the repellent barrier and cover fabric to adhere the repellent barrier and cover fabric to a moisture-impermeable barrier 190. Alternatively, a non-woven cover fabric may be wrapped around the entire absorbent structure to maintain its integrity without the need for an additional barrier 190. Barrier 190 may be polyethylene or similar polymeric moisture-resistant material or a nonwoven fabric which has been treated to render it moisture-impermeable.
Positioning adhesive 195 is placed along longitudinal lines or in any suitable pattern on the garment facing side of the absorbent body to aid in positioning the absorbent body on an undergarment. Positioning adhesive 195 may be a pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive. Release paper 197 protects the positioning adhesive 195 prior to use by the wearer.
Longitudinal chamber walls 115 may be spaced from between about 1/8 inch apart to about 2 inches apart. Most preferably they are about 1/2 inch apart. In other embodiments, there may be a relatively wide chamber located in the center of the napkin and narrower chambers on either side of the central chamber. The width between chamber walls may be exactly the same as the width between other chamber walls along the transverse axis of the napkin or it may be varied with respect to the width of other canals. Of course, the chambers need not be linear, but may be arranged in any pattern conducive to achieving the generally longitudinal flow of fluid in the product.
In another embodiment, a controlled release of fluid from the center of the absorbent may be achieved by placing absorbent material having successfully greater hydrophobicity, or fluid repellancy, in the chambers adjacent the central chambers.
The surface of the chamber separation means closest to the body facing surface of the napkin should effect a segmentation of the absorbent material of the napkin. This discourages fluid transfer between canals along the transverse axis of the napkin. Thus, fluid is encouraged to flow along the longitudinal axis of the absorbent material without spilling over or transferring into adjacent canals.
FIG. 3 depicts another preferred embodiment of the absorbent products of this invention. In FIG. 3, the cover material has been removed to permit the viewing of an absorbent element containing low density absorbent material 265 in the central portion chambers 215. Located in chambers 215 toward longitudinal ends 300 and 305 is superabsorbent material 273 which may be composed of low density absorbent material with natural or manufactured superabsorbent such as peat moss, polymeric material or the like.
FIGS. 4 and 5 depict another preferred embodiment of this invention. The sanitary napkin depicted in FIG. 4 contains three chambers 415. These chambers are separated by a cover 470. Chambers 415 are filled with low density absorbent material 465. Cover 470 is more fluid repellant than low density absorbent material 465. Cover 470 may be made of any material known to be useful in sanitary protection products. For example, nonwoven fabrics which have been treated to render them relatively hydrophobic in comparison with the low density absorbent material may be used, as well as synthetic polymer films having apertures. As long as the cover is less hydrophilic than the absorbent material, the fluid is more apt to wick along the absorbent. When saturated, the cover wall allows controlled release of fluid to the next chamber. The release action from chamber to chamber is controlled by the difference in hydrophobicity between the absorbent and the wall, and by the thickness of the wall. Cover 470 completely surrounds the absorbent element and keeps it unified. The double fold of the cover is bonded together to prevent separation along the fold.
FIG. 6 depicts another preferred embodiment of the products of this invention. Chambers 615, 617 and 619 are separated by cover 670 in a manner similar to that of FIG. 5. Fluid striking the napkin will tend to fill chambers 615 and 617 before radiating to chamber 619, which surrounds chambers 615 and 617. Chamber 619 may contain absorbent material which is slightly more fluid-repellent than that of chambers 615 and 617. The curved shape of the chamber 619 prevents unfolding between the inner chambers and chamber 619. Alternatively, chambers 615 and 617 may be combined into one chamber. This construction would discourage the fluid from migrating to chamber 619, which is adjacent to the body and undergarments of the wearer. Alternatively, chamber 619 may contain low density absorbent material and superabsorbent, which would tend to prevent the fluid from leaking out of the napkin.
In an alternative embodiment, chambers 615, 617 and 619 may be separated by an impermeable barrier layer below the absorbent element, or by a relatively hydrophobic barrier wall formed by the following examples illustrate the concepts and products of this invention. However, they merely serve to illustrate and not to limit the scope of the invention.
Three experimental multiple canal sanitary napkin products were fabricated in accordance with the teachings of this invention. Control napkins, commercially available as SURE & NATURAL brand sanitary napkins, were tested in addition to napkins made according to this invention. A first experimental product (A) was fabricated with four canals which were 0.625 inches apart. Experimental product (B) was fabricated with five canals which were 0.500 inches apart. Experimental product (C) was made with eight canals each of which was 0.3125 inches wide. The control product consisted of a 2.5 inch wide absorbent structure having a polyethylene boat enwrapping the absorbent pad.
A test apparatus was used to analyze all of the sanitary napkin products. This consisted of a fast dynamic fluid capacity analyzer was used to measure the absorbency performance of sanitary napkin products in a simulation to in vivo usage conditions. Each of the sample napkins was suspended across a rubber mold which simulates the female form. The form was set into motion by means of a set of gears, cams, and rods and an ersatz menstrual fluid containing 1% sodium chloride, by weight, was allowed to drip onto the napkin to simulate in-use conditions. The fluid was applied at a rate of 15.2 cc/cycle and the form was operated at a speed of 1.0 cycles/minute. The fluid capacity of the napkin under dynamic conditions was measured by the total volume of fluid applied at the time of failure, i.e., the time at which the spotting was noted on the underside of the napkin. The fluid was dispensed to the sanitary napkin product at approximately a 90� angle to the body facing surface of the pads until failure occurred at the sides of the product.
The results of this dynamic laboratory test are shown in Table I below. The data in Table I demonstrate a cubic centimeters of ersatz menstrual fluid which was contained in each pad prior to failure. The experimental 0.625 inch canals had an 11% absorbency increase over the control Product. The 0.5 inch canals had a 33% absorbency increase over the control product. The 0.3125 inch canals had a 22% absorbency increase over the control samples. The data shows that the most preferable spacing for a 2.5 inch width product is 0.5 inches between canals.
Sanitary napkin products containing three longitudinal chambers were fabricated in accordance with the teachings of this invention. The middle chamber contained low density wood pulp and polyester binder fiber. The side chambers were made from fused Hollofil fibers rolled along the longitudinal direction and coated with polyacrylic acid superabsorbent. The cover was an apertured fiber cover sprayed on the product-facing side for adhesion to the absorbent element.
These products were tested to observe absorbency using ten panelists. Each panelist used the tri-chambered napkins during one month and STAYFREE brand Maxipads the following month. The pads were worn for five hours or until failure. The results of this test are set forth in Table II. The results show that the chambered napkins significantly reduced the rate of failure as compared to the non-chambered napkins.
Sanitary napkin products were fabricated in accordance with the teachings of this invention containing three longitudinal chambers filled with low density wood pulp and polyester binder fiber. Nonwoven cover material made from polyester and rayon was used to form chamber walls dividing the chambers. The cover was more fluid repellent than the pulp. The middle chamber of each absorbent was about 11/2 inches across the transverse width. The chambers on either side of the middle chamber were about 1/2 inch in width. Eleven women were asked to wear the chambered napkins during their menstrual periods, in the days of the heaviest flow for a period of 5 hours, or until failure. The following month, the same eleven women were asked to wear STAYFREE brand maxipads under the same conditions to provide a comparison. The results of these tests are set forth in Table III. The results of these tests show that the frequency of daytime failures was diminished when the chambered napkins were used. In addition, the chambered napkins of this invention produced less severe stains on panties when failure occurred.
The 0.500" chambered napkin of Example 1 was tested as in Example 3. The results of this test are set forth in Table IV. Both the SURE AND NATURAL brand napkins and the chambered napkins of this invention evidenced a failure rate higher than 40% under the conditions of the test. Due to the light flow rate of the women tested (0.75 g/hr. and 0.09 gl/hr), the menstrual fluid apparently wicked along the cover of the napkins and did not reach the absorbent element of the pads. The stains produced were predominantly "light smears", indicative of failures caused by cover wicking, rather than by lack of absorbent capacity.

The best thing to happen to BYU quarterback Max Hall this year was Drew Brees. The second could be landing a spot on the Arizona Cardinals roster.
The undersized quarterback (6-foot-1, 209) enjoyed watching Brees success this year because the two share the same height and a similar build. Like Brees, Hall believes he can prove to people that he can do the job.
On Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine, Hall mentioned several times that he has the smarts to be an NFL quarterback. Brees has already proved a quarterback of his stature can get the job done, so the rest is up to Hall and his training posse that has some notable names.
Hall, who grew up in Mesa, AZ, is working out in nearby Scottsdale.
"I've spent a lot of time with Rod Dowhower, working out with him; my Uncle Danny [White]; and then Charlie Frye has been working out with me," Hall said of his time in Scottsdale. "I've spent a lot of time with him in the past two months, getting ready for- not only the Combine, but for the NFL."
Hall would relish the chance to stick around.
"It would be unbelievable to go play in Arizona and to be there in my hometown and to be able to live there with my family, it would be something really cool if I could do that."
Hall, who is married, originally planned to stay in the desert when he committed to Arizona State University. After red-shirting his freshman season, and going on this Latter Day Saints mission, Hall changed his mind.
"I had a chance to represent my faith at BYU and for religious reasons to go there. So it was a tough decision, but it was the right decision for me."
Hall is a genuinely likeable guy, and could remind people of a recent departed Cardinal. Hall watched Kurt Warner throughout Warner's Cardinals tenure and wouldn't mind the comparison.
"I know that he is a good Christian guy. I've heard nothing but great things about him. I've never had a chance to meet him or anything, but he's a guy obviously I've watched in Arizona. A guy I really like to watch. So yeah, I respect the guy a lot."
Although Hall was a surprise Combine invite to some, he's going to make the most of every opportunity. Since the top-rated quarterbacks are being picky about throwing at the Combine, Hall gets more eyes on him.
"It gives me more of a stage to shine; to show my skills. So I am looking forward to it, been training for it, and I am actually excited for Sunday to come around and finally go out and run around a little bit and throw the ball around because that's what I like to do."
Teams should also pay attention to Hall's record at BYU. He won 32 football games with the team, the most in the school's history.
"It's a special compliment to me. I was lucky enough to play three years and have the opportunity to do it."

Satan's SoldiersMature
I stroked Martin's head, watching the glowing box with increasing fascination. I had found it in the living room. It had taken me fifteen minutes to figure out how to use it, pressing random switches and buttons around the square face.
It had sprung to life, a man appearing.
He pointed to a map behind him, talking about rain that was coming.
He could predict the weather.
I soon became bored with it, and found that if I pressed a certain button, I could change the image.
'Angels are typically associated with....'
I stopped pressing the button. The glass surface of the box displayed a drawing of a Guardian on the page of an old book.
'Lucifer fell from heaven and became the Devil,'
The image changed to a demonic creature with black bat-like wings. His face was humanoid, but his body was that of a demon. I shuddered reflexively. The informative narrative went on to describe 'Hell', or the sixth dimension, and how the souls of dead humans burned there in eternal damnation.
I turned away until the voice changed the subject,
'Guardian angels are said to guide mortals in their everyday lives,'
That peaked my interest. I scooted closer to the glass from my position on the carpeted floor.
'There have been many sightings of these beings over the years. Most describe leading the subject away from danger, or helping them home when they find themselves lost,'
The imagery changed to a man who was the one speaking. He was standing along a garden path, a stone sculpture of an 'angel' beside him.
'Thank you for watching, I'm Ben Hope and I hope to see you next time on 'Supernatural Truth'
The box faded to black, white words appearing. I turned the glowing box off. So that is what humans thought of Guardians.
Martin looked up at me curiously as though questioning why I had shut off the device.
Standing, I wandered to the kitchen to fetch another apple. There came a knock at the door. I jumped in fear, startling Martin who hissed angrily. Creeping to the door as quietly as possible, I put my eye to the peephole. It was a group of teenage boys. They wore black and had tattoos all up and down their arms. Some had strange hairstyles in unnatural colors.
One of them rapped his knuckles on the door again, "Come on Cain! We know you're in there!"
I pulled away from the tiny round spyhole in shock. They knew someone was inside and assumed it was Cain, home from school.
I turned the lock on the door, hoping it would keep them out. I was wrong.
The window by the door shattered inwards from the edge of a sharp axe. I reached behind me, shoving my wings down so that my body hid them. It hurt terribly to do so, but better hurting them again than a human discovering what I was.
"Well, well, well," The leader of the group stepped through the broken glass, walking towards me. His hair was bright red in what I would soon learn was called a 'mohawk'. He had a black shirt on with a white skull imprinted on it, demonic fire swirled around the image.
"What do we have here?" He tilted my chin up to look at him.
I backed up until my wings were pressed against the book shelf behind me. I prayed that he wouldn't see them.
I hoped Cain would come home soon before these people tore me apart.

text: It has come to my attention that Windows 7 Forums site owner and senior Administrator Mike has received the MVP Award from Microsoft Corporation for his contribution to the Microsoft Windows community. Mike is always the first to congratulate and honor other members and staff for any and all such achievements, so I guess, since he's the receipient this time, the responsiblity falls to me, and as such I would like to take this opportunity to just say, congratulations Mike and well deserved. At the risk of sounding like a paid advertisement, I know this most recent award is an honor for Mike and one that he will hold in high esteem among his many other awards, certifications and achievements but for me and I hope many of the rest of you, his single crowning achievement is and will always be this site, to which he selflessly dedicates himself and his time to provide us with a community where we can all come together and help one another. So I hope others will help me congratulate and thank Mike for a job very well done.

text: Unionized state workers upset with pension proposals descended on the state house on Wednesday to address lawmakers about the governor's proposed two-year budget. There was also a surprise move by the governor himself.The state workers told the Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee the new budget is supposed to be about shared sacrifice but they feel as though they're shouldering the brunt of that sacrifice. The proposal asks them to pay more for health insurance and retirement benefits. "When I came on to the state, I knew I wasn't going to get rich but I knew there were pretty good benefits," says Jim Betts who works for the Department of Labor. "But systematically, every two years, we're paying more for health insurance, they're taking away from our pension."There's also a proposed 2% cap on cost of living increases for retired state workers and an increase in their retirement age from 62-65 for those who have five years of service or less. Not to mention these workers also don't qualify for social security. "Is this fair to those of us who went to work for the state in good faith only to see the promises broken in the governor's budget?" asks retired state worker Lois Baxter. "We are in no way responsible for the position the state is in." In a highly unusual move, Governor LePage walked down the hall and testified himself, telling the committee parts of his budget are painful but necessary. "We are also in a state with finite resources and there's no amount of obligation, wishing, or avoidance that will change the hard economic facts," LePage told lawmakers. "52,529. I'll repeat it, 52,529 is the number of state workers or teachers who are either on retirement or within the retirement age in the next 10 years."LePage warned what could happen if the more than $4 billion in unfunded pensions for state workers and teachers isn't addressed immediately. "If we do not act, people in this room will be forced to make funding decisions so dire that our current state retirement system will have to be cast aside."The Maine constitution says the unfunded retirement benefits have to be paid off by 2028 and LePage says this budget puts the state on a path to pay those retirement obligations without passing it on to future generations. "Our fix is not easy, but it is honest and it is essential. we are making promises we know we can keep."State workers have another rally planned for Thursday.
