Apart from the site-specific information you provide during setup, DBabble is set to work
"straight out of the box". You can install it and virtually forget it. Despite
this simplicity DBabble is highly configurable and offers the administrator an advanced
and powerful range of options and features, allowing the server to be easily configured or
tuned to meet specific needs. This manual page provides an overview to managing DBabble and
its many features and options. A quick list of all configuration settings can be found on the
configuration page. A more detailed description of when to use
these features is given below.
Your DBabble server can be accessed at http://domain.name:8132. e.g. http://free.dbabble.com:8132.
Your DBabble server can be accessed securely (in version 2.3a and later) at https://domain.name:8133. e.g. https://free.dbabble.com:8133.
DBabble provides easy administration of your DBabble server from within the DBabble interface. To do so, you must first login as an administrator user. (The first user to login/create an account on your DBabble server is an administrator user) From a web browser, click on the DBabble Server Config link to take you to the Server Administration page. From the windows client, select DBabble Server Configuration from the Edit menu.
Starting, Stopping, and Restarting DBabble on Windows NT/2000
DBabble is installed as a service, which is started upon completion of installation. The service is set to start DBabble again when the system restarts.Starting, Stopping and Restarting DBabble on UNIX
DBabble appends a line to your startup script during installation so that it is automatically started when the system restarts. It is also immediately started on completion of installation.Reloading Configuration Files without restarting DBabble
DBabble has a number of configuration files that you might want it to reload if you have changed them. These are dbabblesvr.ini, user_fields.dat, slaves.dat, and the web template and help files. There are a 2 ways to get DBabble to reload them. Either the "Reload Ini File" button on the server administration page, or just type "dbabblesvr -reload" from within your DBabble server directory.Adding or Modifying Lots of Users
Normally, user's create their own accounts by clicking on the 'create account' link on the login page. If you have disabled user account creation on your server then new accounts can only be created when you are logged in as an administrator user. The first user account created has administrator permissions.To delete many users at once, you can use the instructions in the Adding lots of users section and set the flag f_deleted for each user you want to delete.
As of version 1.1k or later, DBabble also supports HTTP Basic Authentication. This is intended to run in addition to whatever authentication system you are already using, and is just another means of getting your user's names and passwords. HTTP Authentication is where the web-browser automatically pops up a dialog box prompting for their user name and password. The web browser also sends this same information to any other programs/CGIs running on the same system to avoid users from having to enter their name and password again. However, DBabble runs on it's own port separately from your web server, and some web browsers (eg Netscape Communicator) treat this as a different domain so won't use the same name and passwords. To get around this, DBabble comes with a CGI program that you can install on your existing web server, which acts as a gateway to logging in to DBabble. Copy this CGI (dbabble.cgi on unix or dbabblecgi.exe on Windows NT) into your existing web server CGI directory, and if using unix, make sure it has permission to write to your dbabblesvr/work directory. Set up your web server to require non-anonymous basic authentication on the DBabble CGI. You should then be able to go to the dbabble CGI from your web browser, and it should prompt you for a user name and password. Once you have entered them, the CGI will redirect your web browser to the DBabble server, and log you in. You will not have to enter your name and password information again until you restart your web browser. Note: You should only use this system when your web server user database is the same as your DBabble user database. Due to DBabble only supporting POP-authentication as a means of external authentication currently, this means that you must be using POP-authentication and your POP server user database must be the same user database as your web server uses.Logging in to DBabble from your existing Web Site
If you already ask your users for a name and password elsewhere on your site, and want them to be able to login to DBabble without entering their name and password again, you must do the followingFor DBabble versions 1.1i and later, each user can optionally be assigned to belong to a permission group from which all of their privileges are taken from. This means that you can change just the rights for the permission group, and all users belonging to the group have their permissions automatically changed to match the permission group. Permission groups can be administered and created from the web browser interface from the "Server Configuration->Permission Groups" section. On that page you can also set the default permission group that any newly created users will be assigned to. Note that if a user belongs to a permission group, any changes you try to make to any of their other permissions will be ignored unless unless you set their permission group back to "None". When using permission groups, the above mentioned settings (user_chats, user_discussions, user_broadcasts, and user_quota) are no longer needed.
Automatic login to other Netwin Web Products
As of DBabble version 1.1g, there is support for adding links to your template pages in DBabble and other Netwin products so that your users can switch between products without having to login again. DBabble will automatically create the appropriate configuration file settings and list links in the main DBabble screen shown after a user logs in. However, these links are not visible by default, and you must set the auto_login_links setting to true to show them. After enabling them, if they don't work on your system, this may be because you have them installed in non-default directories or something similar.Using DBabble for online support
You can use DBabble to insert links into your existing web pages to initiate a private conversation with a particular user (or member of a particular user group). You can also add links to take the user directly to a particular chat room. The private conversation can optionally be embedded directly in any web page if the recipient is currently online (for example see http://netwinsite.com/dbabble and if a member of our DBabble support team is currently online and willing to accept chat requests then the top right corner of the page will contain a private chat window). There are details and examples of how to do this on your own DBabble server administrator page web page. See http://127.0.0.1:8132/admin and go to the 'Online Support Setup' section.Linking discussions to external usenet (NNTP) groups
When a user creates a new discussion, they have the option of linking it to a usenet group so that any articles posted to either the external group, or the DBabble discussion group will appear in the other. This option is only enabled if you have specified the pull_host setting. Additionally, groups can also be made visible to the NNTP protocol if you have specified the nntp_listen setting. This means that DBabble will listen on nntp_port for requests from news-readers. In this way users can use their favorite news reader to view a DBabble discussion.Sending and Receiving EMail from DBabble
DBabble supports both sending out email and receiving incoming email.Receiving Email when you already have an SMTP server on the same machine
If you already have an SMTP server running on the same machine, you have two options that can still enable you to receive incoming email.
For example, at netwin.co.nz we have our DBabble and
SMTP servers running on the same machine. We set the DBabble
smtp_port setting to "2025",
smtp_listen setting to "true" and set
the smtp_user_base
setting to "dbabble_".
Sending Messages as Text Messages to Mobile Phones (SMS)
If you have access to an email to mobile phone gateway then you can set up DBabble to know about this so that users can enter just a phone number and DBabble will send the message to the corresponding email address that will then forward it onto the mobile phone.Linking to remote DBabble servers
DBabble provides the ability to link individual servers to other servers to enable users to interact with users on other servers, as well as visit chat rooms and discussions hosted on other servers. This is done through a master server which manages the database of all other servers locations. The DBabble server provided is capable of acting as either a master or slave server. To set up DBabble as a slave server, it is necessary is to specify the location of the master server using the master setting, and to specify the password to log in to it. (slave_pass). Also, each server must have a unique host identification number (hid). This is specified in the hid setting. The master server has a list of all slave servers. These can be specified from the DBabble Server Configuration page by any administrator user on the master server. To specify a new slave server, all that is needed is the Host ID, server address and password of the slave server. You can also optionally specify an alternative port , a maximum number of global groups the slave server can host, and any additional ip addresses that the server may have. The additional ip addresses may be needed because in addition to the password, slave servers are identified based on the originating IP address of the connecting slave.Example of how to link two servers
If you find the above a description a bit confusing, here is an example. Assume you have two DBabble servers. One at matt.netwin.co.nz running on port 8132 and another one at bob.netwin.co.nz running on port 80 and you want to link these together so that users on each server can communicate with users the other server.
Linking to Netwin's master DBabble server
To allow you to easily link your DBabble server to any other server world-wide, Netwin provide a master server running at http://dbabble.com:4141. Go to DBabble Slave Server Registration to provide the information needed to link your server to our master server.Customizing the Windows Client
Although the basic layout and design of the Windows client can not be changed, a lot of it can be modified.Your DBabble server will automatically build a new Windows client download after you make any of the above changes and tell the server to reload. (e.g. dbabblesvr -reload)
Customizing the Windows Client Fonts
In versions 1.6a and later, you can specify what the default font and font size should be, and include custom fonts for the DBabble client to install. Normally DBabble uses whatever font and font size that user's Windows settings specify. However, you can override this, and/or install new fonts with the Windows client. This might be desirable if you are using non-English language version of DBabble where your users will be installing DBabble on a version of Windows that does not have the required font installed for your language character set. For example, assume you need to install the font "Comic Sans MS" in the English language only version of DBabble.Your DBabble server will automatically build a new Windows client download after you make any of the above changes and tell the server to reload. (e.g. dbabblesvr -reload).
Customizing the Windows Client Color Scheme
In versions 2.0c and later, you can customize the default color scheme that the Windows client uses. For example you may want it to use your company colors. By default the Windows client uses the color scheme specified in the user's "Windows Control Panel"->"Display"->"Appearance" settings. Users are able to override these in DBabble. Color Scheme information is stored in the file "ColorSchemes.txt" in the user's DBabble directory. The defaults for this file are copied from the file "ColorSchemes.default" in the /client directory on your server which is automatically built into the Windows client download available on your server. To create a new default color scheme to be installed with the Windows client that users download from your server, first create the Color scheme you want using in the Windows client preferences under the "Custom" scheme. Once you have applied it, Open the file ColorsSchemes.txt and copy the 2 adjacent lines that look like*name Custom colors 12900812 14149618 16711680 8404992 1632071 255 255 32896 7850648 255 32768 255 32768 65535 -2147483640into the client/ColorSchemes.default file on your server. You should change the word "Custom" to whatever you want to name your color scheme. (The name may contain spaces.) (If you will be using multiple languages on your server, give this scheme an English name, and add a translation line for this phrase to each of your language.txt files.) Only one line in the color scheme file may start with "*name" instead of "name", and this indicates which scheme is the default scheme for new installations. In this way you could add multiple color schemes for new installations and let your users choose between them.
Your DBabble server will automatically build a new Windows client download after you make the above changes and tell the server to reload. (e.g. dbabblesvr -reload).
Customizing the Windows Client Settings
In 2.0e and later, there is support for specifying default Windows client settings, as specified in the Configuration tab on the login window. (it is automatically configured to connect to your server host name - this section just for other settings.) Their settings are stored in the file DBabble.ini on the client machine. (in versions prior to 2.0d this file was stored in the Windows directory (e.g. \winnt\DBabble.ini) , but this and all other DBabble files are now stored in the DBabble directory (e.g. \Program Files\DBabble\DBabble.ini)) You can copy any settings from there into the file client/DBabble.ini on your server to specify defaults. Make sure the first line in the DBabble.ini file is the "version" line, which must be the same as the version line in the current version of DBabble.ini on the client (version 105) for version 2.0e of the client. For example, if your clients must access your server via a proxy server, then you might make the client/DBabble.ini file look like:version 105 use_proxy 1 proxy_use_explorer 0 proxy_use_netscape 0 proxy_host proxy.netwinsite.com proxy_port 8080 proxy_local_bypass 0 proxy_exceptions try_no_proxy_first 0Another example, if you want the client to not add itself to the user's startup menu by default, you would make the client/DBabble.ini file look like:
version 105 do_startup 0
Your DBabble server will automatically build a new Windows client download after you make the above changes and tell the server to reload. (e.g. dbabblesvr -reload).
Customizing the Advertisements
DBabble optionally provides the ability to show advertisements in the main window, which are linked to specified web pages when clicked. You can disable advertisements in both the web browser and windows client by turning off the show_ads setting. You are able to specify a list of advertisements, from which a random one is selected to be displayed. The windows client automatically changes the displayed advertisement occasionally. The DBabble server keeps track of how often each advertisement is displayed and clicked on in the file ads/usage.txt. To customize the advertisements, edit the file ads/ads.txt , and follow the instructions in there. After changing it, you will need to reload the configuration file before the changes take effect. For versions 1.2j and later, if you want to insert new ads anywhere within the web pages, just place the text ||show_advert|| into a web page. The file tpl/show_ad.htm gets replaced by this text, with a random ad chosen from the list inserted into it. You can change the template page displayed for each ad individually by specifying a template page name instead of an image name in ads/ads.txt. See ads/ads.txt for further details. Also, for each individual user, the number of ads they have seen and clicked on are recorded, and these values can be seen by the administrator when they view a users details. You can also choose to use an external ad banner site for handling DBabble advertisements. See ads/ads.txt in versions 1.4a and later for details. DBabble allows you to change what user fields (e.g. birthday, city, country etc) are available and which are optional or required. You can also change the name of them, and can also add your own user fields. There is currently no nice interface for changing these. You need to modify the file user_fields.dat in your dbabble server directory. There are more detailed instructions in there. For example, you would remove the "Birthday" field by changing the line "birthday 1 0 0 21" to "birthday 0 0 0 21". As another example, you could remove the "Display Name" field by changing the line "display 2 0 0 0" to "display 0 0 0 0". Alternatively, if you wanted to remove the email_address field entirely, but make it that a user's user-name (the name used to login) is actually their email address, then you would change the line "email 1 0 0 5" to "email 0 0 0 5", and set the email_add setting to "1". These last 2 examples will only work in DBabble versions 1.1k or later.Customizing the Group Categories
DBabble allows you to change what categories are available for discussion groups (e.g. sports, computers, music etc). There is currently no nice interface for changing these. You need to modify the file group_categories.dat in your dbabble server directory. There are more detailed instructions in there.Running multiple servers on the same machine
You can run more than 1 DBabble server on a single machine. You may want to do this if you have 2 groups of users who you do not want to be able to contact or know about each other. However, if you do this then you must do one of the following optionsUpgrading the server when running multiple servers
Chat Room Simultaneous Users: 100 to 500
Using direct Windows client connections, a single chat room can handle about 500 simultaneous users.
However, when using a web browser, it sends a request to the server to check for new messages
every 2 seconds and refreshes the list of user's present every 10 seconds.
The creates a limit of about 100 users present in a single chat room,
or about 200 users spread over multiple chat rooms. If you remove the list of
users present frame and/or increase the refresh interval (using the web_chat_refresh setting)
you can expect better performance in chat rooms.
DBabble does not currently support multiple servers sharing the same user database, or server redundancy (we do plan to add this in future). DBabble does support linking multiple servers each with their own user database together for the purposes of inter-server communication. See Linking to remote DBabble servers for more information on this.
Running DBabble with high numbers of users.
A single DBabble server can support up to about 10 million users in it's database and up to about 10,000 users online at any one time.If you want to have more than about 50,000 users in your database or more than 1,000 users online at a time, you will need to modify some settings. You should increase the user_hash_num setting to at least twice the number of users in your database and 20 times the number of users that will be online at any one time. This setting uses about value*10 bytes of memory, and the higher it is the better performance will be. It defaults to 100,000.
Versions 2.3 and later of DBabble have built in SSL encryption on by default. SSL encryption is quite intensive on server performance and you will need to disable it to achieve the best performance possible.
Normally the Windows client keeps a connection open to the server to receive notification of new messages and the server is limited to max_chans simultaneous connections (default of 800). You can raise this value as high as you want, and the server will internally restrict it to the maximum number of connections supported by your operating system. (from 1,000 on linux up 32000 on Windows NT and some unix platforms.) If you increase this on unix systems, make sure you increase the ulimit to be at least 100 higher than this. Edit the dbabblesvr_start script and change the "ulimit -n 1024" line.
In order to be able to support more than 1,000 simultaneous users on operating systems that cannot support many connections, the Windows client can listen for incoming connections to itself, so it will not need to keep a connection to the server open. The server will automatically check if this is possible for each client by attempting to connect to the client when they login and if not (due to a firewall or proxy server) it will continue as normal. The client_listen_threshold setting (defaults to 400) specifies the number of connections the server must be using before the Windows client will not keep connections open any more. If the Windows client is operating in this mode, it will not know immediately if it's connection to the server has been lost.
Every minute (which can be changed by the client_check_interval setting, the Windows client sends a very small request to the server to confirm that it is still connected. This normally takes only a very small amount of server processing time, but if you have thousands of users online simultaneously this can become significant and you may want to increase this to every 10 minutes.
By default once a minute the Windows client checks with the server if any subscribed discussion groups or chat rooms have new posts, and if any discussion groups, chat rooms or user groups have changed names or properties. There is a user preference that controls whether it does this. To set the default to off, in the server administration default preferences page, turn off the preference called refresh_group_list (# 135). You may want to turn this off if you have hundreds of users online simultaneously.
Every 5 seconds (which can be changed by the web_message_refresh setting, web browsers send a small request to the server to check for new messages. You may want to increase this if you have more than a few hundred web browser users online simultaneously.
DBabble versions 2.3a and later support SSL server to client encryption and public key client to client encrypted instant messages. For versions prior to 2.3a see Encryption in Versions prior to 2.3a.SSL/TLS is the same encryption system used by 'https' web pages. It is generally considered to be the most (if not only) secure method for sending sensitive information across the internet, and is the basis of all ECommerce security systems used today. Both the DBabble web interface and DBabble Windows client support SSL. The Windows client defaults to using SSL to communicate with the server so that no one else can view any information sent over the network or internet.
When installed, your DBabble server automatically creates you a private key and a matching self-signed certificate. Since the certificate is self-signed, when a user visits your DBabble server using a web browser over a secure connection, they will be warned that they have not chosen to trust you. The only way you can remove this message is to get a certificate authority to sign your certificate and verify that you are who you claim to be. This will cost you money. See the How to generate a Certification Authority Request to get a CA signed key section below. The DBabble Windows client you download from your server is automatically configured to know the certificate your server generates can be trusted.
The private key that DBabble creates for you by default is 1024 bits. This is secure enough for most users. If you really want a longer (more secure and slower) key, you can do this in versions 2.4c and later by changing the server setting ssl_private_key_bits and do the manager recreate private key command.
In order to generate your private key, random data is required. On OS's such as Windows and Linux there is random data available from the system to do this, but on some OS's such as Solaris your private key that DBabble generates may be predictable, although DBabble does use various system event times, which are kind of random to generate a reasonable key.
To create a more secure private key, place some random data (1K should be sufficient) in the file random_data.dat in your main DBabble server directory. Stop your server, delete the files private_key_YOUR_DOMAIN.pem and certificate_YOUR_DOMAIN.pem and start the server again. You should only do this soon after installing - if you already have existing Windows client users using secure communication with the server, they will be warned your certificate has changed
SSL/TLS is supported in the Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris Sparc, and Mac OSX DBabble servers 2.3a and later. The Windows client 2.3a and later includes SSL support too.
DBabble automatically generates you a private key and self signed certificate. For high level security you should consider getting a certificate signed by a CA. This means that web browser clients can be sure that they are talking to 'your' server and not just someone pretending to be your server.
A script is provided for Windows machines. Copy the files
This will create two files, request.pem and privkey.pem
Paste request.pem into a CA registration form at a site that provides CA services, e.g.
DBabble uses OpenSSL encryption / decryption libraries for SSL.
When the certificate authority sends you your signed certificate, save it as certificate_YOUR_DOMAIN.pem (e.g. certificate_netwin.co.nz.pem) in the main DBabble directory. Also, copy the privkey.pem file into the same directory and call it private_key_YOUR_DOMAIN.pem. (e.g. private_key_netwin.co.nz.pem)
Then restart your DBabble server.
dbabblesvr -restart
Keep in mind when doing this, that any existing users who are using the Windows client will be warned that
the server certificate has changed. Any new downloads of the Windows client from your server will
be pre-configured to trust your new certificate.
Encryption in Versions prior to 2.3a
Versions prior to 2.3a do not support encryption, but you can add encryption to the server yourself and add support to the windows client in versions 1.4c and later. This is done by using an external TCP SSL program that takes un-encrypted connections and encrypts them and vice versa. However, we recommend using version 2.3a or later rather than doing this. Here is an example on how to do this using Stunnel (which is free from http://www.stunnel.org)stunnel.exe libeay32.dll libssl32.dll
run_process stunnel.exe -d 8133 -r free.dbabble.com:443 -c run_process_checked truewhere you replace free.dbabble.com:443 by your server name and port you will be listening on for SSL connections.
If for some reason you are having difficulty installing or getting DBabble to work properly, you can try the following

Thanks, Erica, for cheering us on! And for those who didn't "get the call" this year, hang in and keep working. I didn't final last year, yet that's the manuscript that sits on 3 editors' desks. Gina Holmes didn't final with the manuscript that won her an major contract. And I've always learned so much from my judges. :) So thanks to all who judge.

Mirach Energy Limited disclosed Friday that its associate company CPHL (Cambodia) has submitted the final draft of Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) for Cambodia offshore Block D to the country's Ministry of Mine and Energy's unit Cambodian National Petroleum Authority (CNPA) for approval.
Approval for an extension to the exploration stage for Block D has been delayed as the Ministry of Mine and Energy, newly created after Cambodia's election in 2013, has not confirmed the "new ministry team to the public," Mirach said in a company release Friday.
CPHL (Cambodia) has been invited by CNPA new management team to continue to apply for the extension, with a formal meeting between the two sides scheduled for early March. This will be followed by a discussion of the company's first drilling plan with the new Minister of Mine and Energy.
Meanwhile, Prisma Kampung Minyat (PKM) has been granted the drilling and operation budget from Indoensia's national oil and gas company Pertamina to drill another five deeper wells to test deeper pay zones (S8-S12) at the Kampung Minyak oil field in south Sumatra, Indonesia. All designed depth for the 5 new drillings are over 2,952 feet (900 meters). However, with a conservative investing plan, PKM management decided to drill two deeper wells to assure the production and gain better geological knowledge of deeper zones at first stance. The drilling is scheduled to start in the second quarter of this year.

Tennessee Lemon Law
Tennessee Lemon Law Information
Driving a Lemon in TN? Call 1-800 Lemon Law Today!
Kimmel & Silverman uses the Tennessee Lemon Law and various Federal Warranty Statutes to provide cost-free legal help to distressed TN drivers dealing with a defective vehicle – commonly referred to as a lemon.
What is the "Lemon Law" in Tennessee?
The Tennessee Lemon Law applies to new cars, both purchased and leased, which suffer a non-conformity – a defect or condition, which substantially impairs the use, value, or safety – that cannot be repaired after four attempts by an authorized manufacturer's dealership. This non-conformity must first occur within the first year of ownership or the express warranty period (whichever comes first).
The TN Lemon Law also applies to vehicles that are in the shop for repair thirty (30) or more calendar days during the first year or the express warranty period (whichever comes first).
The Tennessee Lemon Law covers vehicles used for personal, family, and household purposes. The TN Lemon Law does not cover larger trucks, motorcycles, motor homes, or off-road vehicles.
It's important to note that even if your car falls outside of the limitations established by the Lemon Law, there are still Federal Breach of Warranty laws which apply. If your car has an original or extended manufacturer's warranty and has a problem that can't be fixed after three repair attempts, chances are we can help you.
Understanding the TN Lemon Law
The Lemon Law in Tennessee can be confusing and is open up to numerous interpretations, especially if you don't understand how it works. If you are driving a defective vehicle and you want to find out if you are entitled to cost-free legal help, try our Lemon Checker, or contact us right away.

I ordered 2 T-shirts on 22/03/13 to be sent to Spain. I received an email saying they had been despatched on 25/03/13. Normally airmail takes no longer than 10 days to Spain so when my goods hadn't arrived by 11/04/13 (17 days) I emailed the Company. No response at all. My T-shirts finally arrived on 18/04/13. So what was the problem? Well they charged me £6.00 for postage, the correct small packet airmail rate is £4.95 and they actually paid £3.88! So I'm guessing the underpaid postage which they have pocketed has caused the delay. Now as for the quality of the goods they are quite OK. That's a good job because to return them within 28 days of the despatch date would have been problematic. I will not be using this Company again.
Written on: 25/04/2013
I'm sorry you experienced a delay with the delivery of your order. I can't understand why you never received a response to your emails. All emails to firstname.lastname@example.com are answered within 4 hours of receipt. We have to set standard postage charges to cover all eventualities and packaging. I can assure you that we did not under pay on your package. 93% of all dispatches arrive in good time. Unfortunately, that means 7% of our orders will encounter postal delays beyond our control. In this instance, you have just been unlucky.

The present invention relates to a bag of plastic film for collecting discharges from the human or animal body via a drain, the bag consisting of a rear wall and a front wall sealed to each other along the edges, the rear wall being provided with an aperture adapted to receive the drain; means around that aperture for attaching the bag to the body surface around a body opening, usually a surgically made incision, through which the drain carries the discharges from the body to the bag; and optionally a closable discharge opening in the bottom of the bag. The drain may be corrugated or tubular, e.g. a catheter or a plastic hose.
There is known a very large variety of bags for collecting feces from an ostomy opening or incontinent anus, or for collecting urine. They have a front wall and a rear wall through an aperture in which the discharges from the body pass directly into the bag; the aperture is usually surrounded by some means for--frequently adhesive--attaching the bag to the body.
It is known to use such or similar bags--in many cases simply an ostomy bag--for collecting pus or other wound secretions arising in body cavities, e.g. in the abdominal or thoracic cavity after surgical operations. The discharge thereof differs from the discharge of intestinal excretions or urine through natural or artificial body openings by taking place via some kind of a drain.
From U.S. Pat. No. 3,954,105 there is known a drainage system consisting of a drain inserted into a wound or an incision in a body surface, and a collecting bag having an opening in a rear wall, said opening at its edges provided with suitable, normally adhesive means for attaching the bag around the wound or incision. Opposite the opening in the rear wall there is also an opening in the front wall through which the drain may be manipulated and optionally replaced. The opening in the front wall is surrounded by suitably rigid wall parts to which a rigid or semi-rigid, normally dome-shaped cap may be affixed; it is normally affixed to the front wall of the bag and is preferably transparent so as to allow inspection of the drain through the cap, which is removed when the drain is to be manipulated. Besides being relatively costly, the construction has the disadvantage that it is difficult to maintain sterile conditions when the drain is to be manipulated, precisely because the cap must be taken off.
From FR patent specification No. 1,513,360 there is known a catheter system wherein a thin plastic bag is secured to a holder for a cannula adapted to prick a hole in the skin and a vein and through which the catheter is inserted into the vein, said plastic bag surrounding the catheter prior to the insertion. The bag is removed when the catheter has been inserted since its purpose is to ensure sterility during the insertion but not to collect material which might flow out through the catheter.
The opening in the body through which a wound drain has been positioned is usually formed surgically; it may be the very surgically formed opening which has been used for the surgical operation, or a separate incision placed in the immediate proximity thereof. When the drain has been placed and possibly fixed in a definite position, the collecting bag is positioned and is often, like ostomy bags, adhesively attached to the skin around the site of the insertion of the drain.
In the drainage of operation wounds, it is very important that the drain does not slide into the body. It is also important that it does not unintentionally slide out of it. And finally, it is in most cases desirable that one can remove the drain gradually, e.g. at 2-3 cm per day, in order to thereby render a progressive tissue consolidation possible.
When the bag has been positioned it should preferably not be taken away before the drain and the bag are to be removed definitively because any temporary removal of the bag involves a risk of infecting the operation wound. In other words, it is desirable to be able to manipulate the drain from outside the bag, without removing the bag or altering its position. With known bags such a manipulation of drains from outside causes considerable difficulties. The two walls of the bag are identical apart from the opening through which excretions enter it, have identical outer shape and in the flat state of the bag lie smoothly against one another. If with the fingers or a tool one grips a portion of the front wall of the bag opposite the drain and hereby grips the drain in order to manipulate it, a pull will necessarily be caused in the front wall of the bag and the edge portion where it is welded to the rear wall, and the latter will bend towards the manipulating person and thereby exert a pull in the means with which it is attached to the skin of the patient. Apart from this, the manipulation in itself is difficult under these circumstances and it is impeded further by the fact that the bag film is smooth and therefore easily slides relative the drain during the manipulation thereof, which may render a precise manipulation difficult.
It is the object of the invention to avoid these drawbacks and provide a bag of the kind defined in the opening paragraph, allowing an easy manipulation of a drain.
This is achieved if according to the invention the upper part of the front wall in an area opposite the aperture in the rear wall and optionally its surroundings has been processed to form a film blister of increased surface area and reduced material thickness compared to the surface area and thickness without such processing.
Processing to form film blisters is a well-known technique and does not as such constitute a part of the invention. The blister forming may for instance take place by deep drawing, by means of vacuum or compressed air, by upsetting, by pressing or by any other known film blister forming technique.
When a film blister area as described has been formed, it is by manipulation possible without a substantial pull in the edges of the film blister portion to grip the drain and displace it longitudinally to a desired degree, optionally by a number of pulls.
It should be noted that in some cases the drain is sutured to the body wall around it. If the suture has been tied by an easily accessible and simple knot the bag according to the invention may be used in such a case because, via the deep drawn portion of the bag wall, one will be able to untie such a knot and later tie it anew. However, the bag according to the invention is particularly well suited for use in cases where the drain is attached to the body surface by means of a particular fixation device.
According to the invention the film blister pattern may be wavy, seen in cross section of the bag.
According to the invention it is advantageous if the film blister has a comparatively coarse structure and has been overlaid by a finer blister structure.
In the following, the bag according to the invention is described more fully with reference to the drawings, in which
FIG. 1 shows one preferred embodiment of the bag according to the invention in its flat condition, seen from the front wall,
FIG. 2 a section along line II--II in FIG. 1, yet with the bag in a faintly inflated condition and attached to the skin of a patient,
FIG. 3 another preferred embodiment in flat condition,
FIG. 4 a section along line IV--IV in FIG. 3 with the bag in a faintly inflated condition.
FIG. 5 is an enlargement of FIG. 2, showing the feature of the film material being thinner in the blistered area than outside the blistered area; and
FIG. 6 is an enlargement of the right side portion of FIG. 2, modified to show the feature of a finer blister overlaying a course blister.
The bag according to the invention has a rear wall 10 and a front wall 12. They are firmly secured to each other at the edges by a heat sealing seam 14. In the lower part the bag in the embodiments shown has a discharge opening 16 which may be closed by means of for instance a stopper 18. If desired, the discharge opening may be omitted.
In the rear wall there is an opening 20 surrounded by an annular fastening means 22 by the aid of which the bag may be attached to the skin 24 of a patient around a surgically formed opening through which a drain 26 is extending. In FIGS. 1-2, the fastening means 22 is a flange adhered to a ring made of a skin-friendly material which is adhesive on both sides, expediently of the kinds described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,231,369 and 4,367,732. The drain is fixed in a desired position by means of a schematically shown fixation device 28. This is attached separately to the skin around the operation wound, has some kind of connection directly to the bag according to the invention and does not constitute a part of the present invention.
The rear wall 10 of the bag in the embodiment shown is substantially smooth and flat and is essentially constructed as the rear wall in numerous known ostomy bags.
In contradistinction hereto the front wall of the bag is different because a portion 30 thereof by processing in some manner known per se has been formed into a so-called film blister. By this treatment, there has been formed a number of waves (as shown in FIG. 1 four, in FIG. 3 five) in the form of bulges 32, projecting from the plane of the front wall, alternating with depressions 34.
According to the invention, these waves preferably--and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3--seen in the plane of the bag wall, form a pattern of a number of substantially straight lines substantially parallel to the lateral edges of the bag, whereby each straight line parallel to one lateral edge is connected to a corresponding straight line parallel to the other lateral edge of the bag by a substantially circular arc.
Many other configurations are also possible, e.g. as a number of circles or a number of straight lines forming angles, e.g. right angles with each other. However, straight lines intersecting each other have been found to be less suitable because undesired tensions may arise where the lines meet.
By the said processing to form the film blister portion, the portion in question obtains a considerably larger area than before the processing and at the same time the film in the area in question becomes thinner and thereby more supple. It is therefore readily possible by a grip on the exterior of the bag's front wall by the fingers or a suitable tool to grip and manipulate the drain 26 in a desired manner without any necessity of removing the bag from its position around the operation wound and hereby there is achieved a substantially improved safety against infections of the wound. The feature of the film material being thinner in the blistered area 30 than outside the blistered area is best shown in FIG. 5, which is an enlargement of FIG. 2, wherein like numbers represent like elements.
If desired, a limited area of the rear wall of the bag may according to the invention be processed into a film blister, whereby the possiblities of manipulating may be further increased.
The bag may be made of any, preferably transparent plastic film material of the kinds used, e.g., for making colostomy bags. Thus, the material may for instance be polyethylene, polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride. The thickness of the film material prior to the deep drawing or other processing to form the bulges and depressions 32,34 will be at least 40 μm and at most 150 μm, typically 60-80 μm. The degree of deep drawing may vary within a wide range and depends on the tear strength, breaking strength, elongation at break and barrier properties. Expediently, the thickness in the deep drawn areas in many cases may be of the order of magnitude 20-40 μm.
The collecting bag shown in FIGS. 3-4 mainly differs from that shown in FIGS. 1-2 by the means by which it is attached to the patient, and by means (as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,604,095 to counteract return flow of wound secretions.
The bag according to FIGS. 3-4 has a front wall 12 and a rear wall 10. In the rear wall 10 there, is an aperture 20 for the inflow of wound secretions and for placing a fixation device, not shown, for a drain. The opening 20 is surrounded by a coupling ring 40; this may be any known coupling ring but is very conveniently constructed as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 867,523, filed May 27, 1986. The coupling ring 40 is adapted to co-operate with another coupling ring (not shown) which by the aid of an adhesive material, e.g. of the above-mentioned skin-friendly kind, is adhered to the skin around the operation wound. The other coupling ring is expediently adapted to hold the wound drain.
Besides the front wall 12, which is provided with a film blister portion 30, and the rear wall 10, the bag shown in FIGS. 3-4 has a partition 42, normally of the same material as the front and rear walls. In the upper part of the bag, the partition 42 is secured to the rear wall 10, expediently in the area where the ring 40 is situated. The partition 42 only extends from the upper part to approximately the middle or a little below the middle of the bag, as is seen both in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. In its lower part it is secured to the front wall 12 of the bag by means of three heat sealing seams 44, 46 and 48. The seams 44 and 48 are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal middle plane of the bag and are spaced from the lower, substantially free edge of the partition 42. Opposite the interspace between the seams 44 and 48, but closer to and preferably (as shown) just at the edge 50 of the partition the third heat sealing seam is situated. The wound secretion can flow through the interspaces between the heat sealing seams 44,46 and 48,46 down to the free bag compartment below the lower edge 50 of the partition, but only with difficulty flow back to the opening 20. The arrangement with the partition 42 and the heat sealings 44,46,48 therefore functions as an effective non-return valve.
The bag shown in FIG. 3 is provided with a gauge for collected secretions.
Even after the blister processing the bag film may be rather smooth, and as the drain easily becomes moistened by the outflowing wound secretion, the smoothness in unlucky cases may impede a precize manipulation. This may be counteracted by a kind of roughening of the film blister portion of the front wall of the bag. The thickness of material will normally be too small to allow a normal napping without the risk of perforating the film. But according to the invention, the roughening can take place by a "blister processing in the blister", whereby the comparatively coarse primary film blister described above may be overlaid by a finer blister structure. This embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 6, which is an enlarged view of enlarged view of the right side portion of FIG. 2, modified to show the detail of the fine blistered structure overlaying a comparatively course blister structure.

In his international bestseller The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize-winner Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. Now he applies the same relentless curiosity and masterful analysis to the question: how can each of us achieve more?
Drawing on the very latest findings in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural economics, he demonstrates the eight simple principles that govern productivity. He demonstrates how the most dynamic and effective people – from CEOs to film-makers to software entrepreneurs – deploy them. And he shows how you can, too.
'Charles has some wonderful advice for increasing productivity . . . the tips he highlights have most definitely played a huge part in helping me to build the Virgin brand.' Richard Branson
'In Smarter Faster Better Duhigg finds provocative answers to a riddle of our age: how to become more productive (by two times, or even ten times) and less busy.' Jim Collins
'There are valuable lessons in Smarter Faster Better . . . I never felt like putting it down.'Financial Times

Let's see, if this picture was accurate to the dress's real appearance, it would simply look vibrant blue and black, but the image looks really faded and darkened with light in the background, so the dress's color looks questionable to me. Black however seems out of the question. I've never light so bright that it makes black look gold or brown, I find this too odd. I have seen a shadow make white look darker and bluer many times, so this dress just looks like it could be white and gold in the shadows, and since the irl dress is not, this is just a terrible photo!

The California Highway Patrol now claims he made it up. But not before our story ended up on last night's episode of Top Gear. That's right, our story on Philip Odegard's little faux speeding escapade made it on to last night's what we read on the blogs news segment of the world's greatest motoring show, Top Gear. And they did about the same amount of fact-checking we did on it. Actually, we think we may have done a bit more. We at least tweeted about it to Philip Odegard — however, it was to no avail as he didn't answer. Advertisement Advertisement But, here's what the OCRegister has to say about the story after doing a bit of digging around:"The question was raised earlier this week by Jalopnik.com, a site for car lovers, after this image of a speeding ticket was reportedly posted on the Web by someone named Philip Robert Odegard.The partially obscured image purports to show that Odegard, 22, a self-described technology evangelist and entrepreneur, was caught driving a $1.4 million Bugatti at "210+" mph in the early hours of July 1.But a call to the California Highway Patrol reveals the image is a fake.In fact, Odegard was ticketed on April 1 for traveling 100 mph at the same location on the toll road, according to CHP officer Chris Goodwin.Odegard was driving a 2004 Infiniti, not a 2008 Bugatti, Goodwin said."What? A 2004 Infiniti? Really? You know, we should have known better. Those silly, self-described social media experts — you never can trust them, can you? But, when even Top Gear gets played, we don't feel like we're in the worst company.Kudos to the OC Register for, you know, doing the journalist thing and calling up the CHPs to ask. That's our Top Gear "top tip" of the day today! (Hat tip to Sean!) [OC Register]Reply21 repliesLeave a reply
