Cl. 210493 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A filter cartridge comprising an outer preforated cylindrical housing and end caps, an inner concentric perforated outlet tube forming an annular chamber containing an annular axially pleated filter element, the pleats or folds of said filter element on their outer faces being maintained in spaced apart relationship by a plurality of axially separated narrow paper strips frictionally interpleated with the pleated filter paper but adhesively unattached to the filter element, and having wedges of plastisol applied to the spacer strips and doctored down between the pleats so as to be clear of the radially outer tips of the pleated material.
This application is a streamlined continuation of our US. patent application Ser. No. 503,188 filed Oct. 23, 1965, and now abandoned.
This invention relates to improvements in filters of the type which are adapted for use in dry cleaning solvent recovery systems and various industrial and other uses in which a pleated paper filter is desirable and useful, and more particularly concerns a disposable cartridge filter construction.
One of the major problems in respect to pleated paper filters which are used under conditions of substantial liquid pressures is that of preventing collapsing of the pleats onto one another in the presence of high pressures so that substantial filtration surface is lost and thus the efficiency of the filter substantially reduced from that which may be expected on the basis of total filter area. One way that has been proposed to solve this problem has been to adhesively secure a band or a plurality of bands of paper in contact with the outer diameter peaks or edges of the pleats, but under strong pressures the pleats break away from said bands. Another way has been to apply gobs of plastisol directly to the pleats between the outer diameter edges, but this severely reduces the filtration area of the pleated filter.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved pleated paper filter construction and a method of making the same according to which the foregoing and other difiiculties and problems are overcome and a substantially improved pleated paper filter is obtained.
Another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved pleated paper filter in which the pleats are effectively maintained separated even under high fluid pressures while the effective filtering area remains substantially unimpaired.
A further object of the invention is to provide new and improved means for maintaining the pleats of a pleated filter paper element separated.
Still another object of the invention is to provide new and improved means assembled with a pleated paper filter element for maintaining the pleats in substantially uniformly spaced relation.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a 3,520,417 Patented July 14, 1970 substantially improved, low cost, throwaway pleated paper filter element.
A still further object of the invention is to provide improvements in low cost throwaway filter assemblies of the type which are especially suitable for use in dry cleaning fluid recovery or reconditioning systems.
A yet further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved method of making pleated paper filter elements with self-contained novel pleat separating means.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a representative filter assembly embodying features of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional detail view taken substantially on the line IIIIll of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a transverse sectional detail view taken substantially on line IVIV of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating a step in the manufacture of the improved pleated paper filter element of the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic view illustrating a further step in the method of making the filter element.
On reference to FIGS. l4, the illustrated filter assembly is of a type which is especially suitable for use in the reconditioning of dry cleaning solvents, but may be used for other industrial and like purposes where a low cost, throwaway type of filter employing a pleated paper filter element is desirable. To this end, the filter assembly comprises an elongated concentric tubular arrangement of elements adapted for inward flow of liquid uniformly about its cylindrical outer perimeter, with the effluent gathering at the center and flowing from either or both ends of the unit, and comprising a center uniformly perforated rigid and preferably metal tube 10 concentric with an intermediate uniformly perf rated coextensive larger diameter rigid prcferably metal spacer tube 11 and defining therewith an elongated annular chamber filled with suitable conditioning material such as granular activated charcoal 12, a thin felt tubular sock 13 being engaged about the center tube 10 to prevent escape of the carbon particles. About the intermediate tube 11 is mounted a tubular coextensive pleated paper filter element 14 and about the outer perimeter thereof is placed a protective uniformly perforated heavy paper outer tube 15, although, this tube may be omitted if desired and especially for cost reduction purposes.
Maintaining the tubular components of the filter assembly unit concentric and substantially coextensive are respective substantially identical bottom and top end caps 17 and 18, respectively, comprising one-piece sheet metal stampings. Each of the end caps has a central opening for alignment With the associated end of the center tube 19 and defined by a narrow inwardly extending tubular centering flange 19 telescopically engaged within the end of the center tube 13 and secured thereto, as by means of spot welding 20. Adjacent to the flange 19 is an annular inset seat 21 in which is engaged an annular disc gasket 22 such as cork. Concentric retention of the intermediate tube 11 is by means of an annular axially extending centering flange 23 defined by an indentation 24 in the end cap, with an annular area of substantial width between the indentation and the centering flange. About the outer margin of the pleated filter element 14 and the outer cover tube 15, if employed, is an axially extending annular retaining flange 25. For convenience in carrying the filter unit, a bail 27 is attached to the top end cap 18 by opposed journal ends thereon engaging in integral struckup bail hinge straps 28. In addition, the top end cap 18 is provided with a pair of holes 29 in the annular area between the flange 19 and the indentation 24, and aligned with the chamber between the tubes and 11 through which the activated carbon 12 is introduced after the tubular assembly has been completed, such openings being then closed by suitable respective plugs 29a.
Assembly of the tubular components of the filter unit is easily and rapidly effected in mass production, as by assembling all of the tubular components with the bottom end cover plate 17, then assembling the top cover plate 18 and welding the cover flanges 19 to the center tube 10. The carbon 12 is then filled through the filler openings 29 and the plugs 29a applied and the unit is ready for service. The bail 27 will have been preassembled with the top end cap 18, or it may be assembled with the unit after other assembling has been completed. The same remarks apply to the gasket 22.
Basically, the pleated paper filter element 14 is of conventional construction comprising filter paper uniformly folded to provide pleat walls 30 joined on inner folds 31 and outer folds 32. The inner folds 31 define thereacross of an inner perimeter for the tubular pleated filter element opposing the intermediate tube 11 while the outer folds 32 define the outer perimeter of the element and oppose the paper outer tube within the chamber defined between the tubes.
In order to maintain the pleats of the element 14 spaced from one another at the outer side, namely, in respect to the faces of the pleat panels or walls 30 which oppose the inward pressure of the infiltrating liquid, narrow spacer strips 33 are interpleated with the filter pleats, being intimately frictionally engaged with the outer faces of the pleat panels 30, within the folds 31 and over the folds 32. Advantageously, the pleats of these strips 33 are held to the primary filter pleats by their frictional interengagement and without any need for adhesive or other attachment so that during filtering operations the areas of the filter panels 30 under the strips 33 are accessible to the liquid by the separating pressure of the liquid. As the areas of the panels 30 not covered by the strips 33 become coated with solid material filtered from the liquid, the fluid pressure tends to find the areas of the pleat panels behind the strips as the path of least resistance to filtration. The opposed interpleated lengths of each of the strips 33 effectively maintain the primary pleats sepawardly from the folds 32, throughout the life of the filter. Desirably the separator or spacer strips 33 may be made from filter paper, although other paper may be used. As many of the spacer strips 33 may be employed longitudinally along the length of the filter element 14 as desired, in a typical construction where the filter element may be on the order of 14 or 15 inches long and 7 or 8 inches in outside diameter, the strips 33 on the order of wide may be located at about 3" intervals along the length of the element.
For additional assurance against tendency toward forcing of the outer folds 32 of the pleats together under pressure surges in service, spacer means 34 are desirably applied between the adjacent outer folds of the respective strips 33. In a convenient form, said spacer means comprise plastisol wedges applied in a fluid state and hardened in place in adhering relation to the paper strips 33 but free from engagement with the primary pleats of the filter element. Thereby the respective paper strips 33 carry the spacer wedges 34 and are interposed between such wedges and the primary filter pleats, so that there is no interference with full filtering efliciency since the material of the spacer wedges 34 does not contact and block any of the filtering surfaces of the primary filter pleats. In order to maintain the outside perimeter diameter of the unit to a minimum, the wedges 34 are desirably located within the circumference described about the tips of the outer folds of the spacer strips 33.
In making the filter element 14, a web of filter paper W (FIG. 5) is fed to pleating rolls 35 which progressively form the pleats across the web. In this same operation, the paper strips 33 are fed from suitable supply rolls 37 onto the face of the web W which provide the outer faces of the primary filter pleats and into the pleating rolls 35 so as to be simultaneously interpleated with the filter paper pleats as such pleats are formed. The pleating pressure thus applied has been found sufficient to effect adequate frictional interengagement between the interpleated strips 33 and the pleated web to enable further handling of the pleated web and the subsequent tubular filter element without displacement of the interpleated spacer strips.
After pleating has been completed, suitable strip lengths of the pleated web and interpleated tape-like spacer strips are cut off and rolled about a sizing mandrel 38 (FIG. 6) and the ends suitably joined as is customary. Then, by means of suitable nozzles 39 plastisol in fluid condition is applied to the between-crest spaces of the spacer strips 33 as the filter element 14 is rotated by the mandrel 38. While the plastisol is still soft, immediately after having been applied, it is doctored by means of a doctor blade 40 into wedge-forming position and substantially clear of the exposed crests of the spacer strip pleats so as to provide a smooth perimeter which will avoid interference with axial relative assembly of the cover tube 15 fairly snugly about the completed filter element 14.
It will be understood that modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts of the present invention.
We claim:
1. A method of making a pleated paper filter element comprising: feeding a filter paper web to a pleater; feeding spacer strips to said web at spaced intervals across its width; simultaneously pleating the web and interpleating said strips with the pleats formed in the web; cutting off a section of the pleated web; mounting said section on a mandrel with said interpleated strips on the outer side of the tubular element formed on the mandrel; securing the ends of the section together; and applying plastisol to said strips without applying any of the plastisol to the pleats of the filter element, said plastisol being applied in the fluid state, and while the plastisol is still in a fluid state after application doctoring the same substantially clear of the peaks of the pleated paper strip exposed at the perimeter of the filter element.
2. A filter construction of the character described including: a plurality of concentrically related tubes and end caps securing the tubes and defining a cylindrical filter element chamber; a pleated filter paper tubular filter element in said chamber and having inner pleat folds opposing the inner tube defining said chamber and outer pleat folds opposing the outer tube definning said chamber: spacer strips interpleated with the outer faces of the pleats of the filter element in simple frictional engagement therewith and free from any other attachment throughout at last the major opposing areas of the strips and the pleats of the filter element and providing crests which oppose the outer of the tubes defining said chamber; and spacer wedges carried on said spacer strips between said outer crest thereof and free from said filter; element pleats, said wedges being located substantially entirely within a perimeter across said crests of said strips so that said crests closely confront said outer tube and said strips serve as spacers between said outer folds of said element and said outer tube.

Now i know its about both gardeners and tuin- & landschaps-architecten T.& L.-er-as they are called in our language- I know how I can look around for famous Dutch designers of famous gardens. For instance in Delft, my brother in law has 'explored' -for it was neglected and not to be recognised anymore- a garden of Springer , who was famous at his time for making structures for gardens in a very architectonial way. I myself prefer more natural, but that's just a question of taste.

Financial Times: Pressure mounts on Yanukovych to free Tymoshenko
Financial Times: Tymoshenko arrest triggers fresh EU concerns
When heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, the Russian Federation and numerous other governments are all saying the same thing – that the Aug. 5 arrest of ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko appears to be unjustified and that the charges against her smack of political persecution – it's a clear signal to Ukrainian authorities to reverse their misguided ways.
Before President Viktor Yanukovych makes a complete fool of himself on the international stage, he should break off his Crimean vacation and issue two orders right away: Release Tymoshenko from jail and drop all the criminal charges against her.
Then Yanukovych - who has monopolized political power and has tremendous influence over all branches of government - should publicly rebuke the judge who, overnight on Aug 7, issued an order banning peaceful demonstrations. Such a ruling clearly tramples on the basic rights guaranteed by Ukraine's constitution.
As officials from the European Union, US and beyond say, the issue is not about liking or not liking Tymoshenko, who now faces contempt-of-court charges in addition to her ongoing trial on charges of abusing her authority as prime minister in reaching a 2009 gas deal with Russia. Testimony resumes in the trial on Aug. 8.
The issues today are much bigger than the fate of one flawed, but courageous politician who has tirelessly called attention to the alleged pilfering of the nation by those in power. At stake is Ukraine's future as a democracy, the future of fair trials and the constitutional right to hold peaceful demonstrations.
Despite the administration's contention that the courts and judges are independent and cannot be influenced politically, everyone knows that is not the case. In fact, the opposite is true. Politicians, most of all Yanukovych's administration, control the courts. The Ukrainian system of appointing and removing judges is a case study in the formation of kangaroo courts.
The trial against Tymoshenko has been one more exhibit in this sad spectacle of injustice. About two weeks into the month-long trial, the court banned televised coverage of the proceedings. We suspect the order came because Tymoshenko was doing a good job of showing the silliness of the charges against her.
The accusations have never made much sense – that she, as prime minister illegally reached a 2009 natural gas supply contract with Russia to end a three-week crisis that threatened to freeze Europe in the dead of winter.. Any violations Tymoshenko committed seem more procedural than criminal, although she should have made all details of the agreement public at the time.
Where were the other leaders then? Ex-President Viktor Yushchenko was, as we know now from trial testimony and other sources, playing an obstructionist role. Yushchenko stands accused of sabotaging a gas agreement with lower import prices that Tymoshenko's government had nearly signed late in 2008, and of lobbying the interests of RosUkrEnergo, the controversial gas trading intermediary that for years made billions of dollars from energy deals among Ukraine, Russia and Central Asia. Yanukovych, then firing his own political darts from opposition, has long been aligned with RosUkrEnergo's interests.
Moreover, the judge presiding over the Tymoshenko case has denied her requests to call key witnesses, such as state energy monopoly Naftogaz's auditor, Ernst & Young, and members of her government. The judge has also not given her defense attorneys adequate time to prepare.
Add it all up and Judge Rodion Kireyev's rulings signal that a railroaded guilty verdict is ahead, one that would make Tymoshenko ineligible as a convicted felon to challenge Yanukovych and the Party of Regions in future elections. Just in case these spurious charges don't pan out, however, prosecutors are busily lining up new ones to fall back on.
It was welcome to see Klitschko, the heavyweight boxing champion, come out so swiftly and forcefully in Tymoshenko's defense. He has vast popularity that cuts across political lines. His support should help shift public opinion. Klitschko cut short his training in Austria for a Sept. 10 title defense to return to Ukraine.
"When I learned what had happened in Ukraine, I stopped training for the fight and returned to Kyiv. As far as I understand, a real battle for democratic values is unfolding here – in Ukraine. I cannot be an observer in this situation," Vitali wrote on his blog in Ukrainska Pravda. "Tymoshenko ended up behind bars on the eve of Ukraine's independence."
The Russian Federation has its own twisted motives for siding with Tymoshenko. The Kremlin wants the 2009 gas agreements seen as legitimate because it doesn't want state-controlled Gazprom to give in to the Yanukovych administration's demands for lower prices. But truly Russian leaders are playing their usual game of wanting to see a Ukrainian president weak and isolated.
Western governments are almost unanimous in viewing what is happening to Tymoshenko as unjustified, if not entirely farcical.
The Yanukovych administration has, since taking power on Feb. 25, 2010, consistently eroded the democratic underpinnings of the nation – from stacking courts, to unconstitutionally changing the constitution and holding a flawed regional election. The courts, legislature and much of the media are now subservient to Yanukovych. Tymoshenko represents the strongest remaining example of independent political thought and action, and now she is on the ropes.
Ukraine's Western friends have taken a stand through statements, but need to increase pressure on Yanukovych in the coming days, weeks and months.
But the real question, which will start to be answered when the trial resumes on Aug. 8, is: What are Ukrainians going to do about it? Stand up and fight for democracy? Or let these injustices spread until authoritarianism is as firmly rooted in Ukraine as it is in Belarus and Russia today?

Citrix ShareFile Secures Files For Today's Mobile Workspaces
Today at Citrix Synergy™, Citrix announced new Citrix ShareFile® features that deliver the broadest storage access for users and the most choice for IT. The new features give users the ability to access and edit files from multiple data sources on their mobile devices and businesses more control over their data encryption keys, resulting in increased productivity and security. These capabilities are available in the company's secure file sync and sharing solution ShareFile, Citrix XenMobile® and the new Citrix Workspace Suite.
According to a recent study by Enterprise Strategy Group 1, more than two-thirds of IT professionals using pure cloud-based online file storage are extremely interested in storing some or all data on-premises. People have also come to expect instant access to files in the moment they need them in order to be productive. ShareFile provides users with one place to access and edit files stored on-premises and in the cloud from their mobile devices, improving productivity through a secure mobile workspace.
What's New in ShareFile
- Integration with Any Enterprise Content Management System - Data within today's businesses lives in a range of places that are not easily accessible outside of corporate networks or from mobile devices. ShareFile StorageZone Connectors help businesses by establishing direct and secure mobile access to data in its original location behind the corporate firewall. Connectors for Microsoft SharePoint and network shares are already used by thousands of companies since launching at Citrix Synergy last year. Taking it one step further, Citrix is now opening its platform by releasing a ShareFile StorageZone Connectors SDK. This SDK allows any IT or partner organization to develop connectors to any enterprise content management (ECM) system, thereby expanding the types of data users can access and edit on the go via ShareFile. Point.io and CloudFuze are two partners who have already built connectors for ECM systems, including Alfresco, Documentum and Filenet.
- More Storage Options - New ShareFile Personal Cloud Connectors allow users to access their Box, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive accounts from ShareFile. It provides enterprises with the flexibility to determine how and where users store files. For businesses looking to manage their corporate data in one place, IT can choose to enable ShareFile Personal Cloud Connectors for a defined period of time and require users to migrate all corporate data from personal file sharing services to ShareFile. If IT chooses to keep personal file sharing services available, users can continue to take advantage of the productivity benefits that ShareFile offers, including editing and annotating, for personal files such as tax forms or contracts.
- Encryption Key Ownership - With most cloud file sharing services, files are encrypted but businesses don't hold the key. Their service provider does. Yet, some businesses prefer to maintain the keys to their own encrypted data. With Citrix, businesses can manage their own ShareFile StorageZones in Microsoft Azure to benefit from the elasticity and flexibility of the cloud while maintaining ownership of their own encryption keys - an advantage typically only available on-premises.
- Office Document Creation, Editing and PDF Annotation - It's not enough to just access, collaborate and share documents on mobile devices, people need the tools to create and edit documents on the go in order to be fully productive. That is why Citrix is extending mobile document creation and editing capabilities to all ShareFile customers. Previously only available to enterprise customers, these features allow users to create, review and edit Microsoft Office documents and annotate Adobe PDF files within ShareFile on mobile devices. By enabling users to leverage a native editor, IT can restrict the use of third-party editors that create an unsecured copy of a file, putting corporate data at risk.
- New ShareFile for iPhone: Optimized for Mobile - Inspired by user feedback and designed to take full advantage of iOS 7, Citrix will release a reimagined experience for customers using ShareFile on iPhones. Optimized around what people want to do on their phones, the new app will be faster, simpler and debuts a contextual menu offering customers the right functionality, in the right context, at the right time. A real-time algorithm determines the menu options that are needed based on where users are within the app and what they have selected. The result is a simpler, less cluttered interface, enabling users to work faster and smarter.
QuotesTerri McClure, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group "Our research indicates that there is increasing demand for alternatives to the 'one-size-fits-all,' cloud-based approach. This demand is driven by both security concerns and a desire to leverage existing on-premises IT investments. Hybrid solutions such as Citrix ShareFile address both of these issues. Citrix, with its ShareFile hybrid storage offering, seems to be in the right place at the right time."

It takes a moment to collect yourself, to prepare a face to rejoin your group over by the gate, where James Dean is saying, "I don't know what to make of all that. One minute we're dwelling on anal hygiene and sexual fetishes, and then there's this temple and this air of quiet spirituality. Where does religion come into all this?"
"I thought it was intense," says Cam, whose own eyes are damp (he tells me later) with remembrance of Sierra, his ex's hospice-patient dog.
"I don't know that it's religious," says my father, gazing contemplatively at the Temple's gold-lit steeple. "It's just amazing the lengths people go to, to be thought of as special. I never imagined that a crew of folks could build a temple as elegant as this, only to burn it down."�
"I'm just trying to find the common theme, and the only common theme, I think, is that this could only happen in the United States," says Dean the Canadian. "Both in its excesses and its excellence. Some people look at America as a nation of vulgarity and excess, and others think it's the most creative country in the world. I think it's both. Who else would burn a sculpture that took a year to build? But Ed, you and I know you can't run an economy this way."
"I don't think it's about running an economy," says Cam. "It's about freedom. It's about celebrating creativity, the human spirit."
"Yes," says Dean. "But for most us, we've channeled our creativity into purchasing excessive camping supplies at Walmart."
But Dean's diagesis is halted by a sudden explosion. A fleur-de-lis of fireworks erupts across the playa, where one can see the sperm car chasing a vagina barge.�
Saturday night.�Tonight the Man burns. A little after dusk, we make our way to the playa. The city, already, is beginning to decay, with spots of bare ground between camps. The festival's commandment to "leave no trace" is losing out to the selfish pragmatism of the default world. Several folks have left unpleasant traces in the form of water jugs topped up with dark amber tinkle.
Down, down across the playa, the hordes are gathering around the Man, who stands above a multistory plywood mansion shaped much like a drill chuck. We take our seats. I very quickly hand out a hundred or so of our camp's tiny flashlights. Even in this, I fall short. My manner is efficient, peremptory. "Would you like a tiny flashlight? Of course you would. They're extremely convenient."
When I return, Cam seems to be maybe making time with a hippie matron in a leopard-print halter and rainbow-glo ligatures about her neck and chest. Good man.
My father, somehow, appears to be in animated grinning rapport with a young woman in minuscule shorts, brassiere, and pierced tongue. "I'm 19," I think I hear her say.�
Out before the Man, a gang of tribal majorettes brandish flaming batons. My father and his young friend take note, but it does not halt the flow of language between these two. What are they saying? Something naughty? Is my father—horrible! miraculous to imagine!—getting some sort of�angle�going here? I draw near to them. She is telling my father that she is interested in doing something to do with environmentalism. My father is getting the opposite of an angle going. He is saying, "Yeah, but I worry that all that environmental stuff is going to inhibit trade." She is saying she would like to go to Africa someday. "I once calculated fertilizer subsidies in Malawi" is his reply.�
This is why I love my father. Probably ninety-nine out of a hundred men in the vicinity would be trying to persuade this girl out into the dark of the evening with talk of "Baby, let's bump uglies. Let me fly my freak flag with you." But of course, that particular flag, the lecherous-septuagenarian-horndog flag, is not freaky at all. Much freakier, much more radically self-expressive, when you are down in the dust with some winsome young lady, is to ply her instead with talk of fertilizer subsidies and not take it there at all.�
The fire dancers retreat. The drill-chuck-mansion pedestal goes up in a great pumping beefheart of flame. My father sits in a rain of cinders big as playing cards, more than sufficient to ignite the infant wisps of his remaining hair. Unconcerned, he gawps at the flames. The danger is unreal to him, or not as important as the splendid inferno before him. In childhood, I knew my father as a man to cringe at loud noises, to wince, cower, shield his precious carcass when you raised your fists to him, as I did at least once in my teenage years. That man is not this man, to whom the risk of minor incineration is worth an extra instant of beauty. The transformation dates, I think, to the cancer treatment. There is likely some best-selling wisdom here, � la�Everything I Need to Know I Learned from My Christ-Bitten Kindergartner.�If not a bankable bathroom title, the inferno begs at least some modest, affirming revelation.�Don't fear the reaper. Regret not the past. Stand in the flames. Hide not your genitalia. Naked boobs like to be photographed.�
But my mind, unfortunately, is dwelling not on life's precious evanescence but on the eight-hour traffic jam we've been told to expect in the post-burn exodus. Instead of getting into a soul communion with my father, I am screaming at him, "Move! Move! Move!"
We speed back to the RV and beat the traffic handily.�
"Well, I thought that was extraordinary," says my father. We are riding south through the Great Basin Desert in the small hours of the night. "A fine capstone to our adventures. I hope not, but perhaps."
He is returning to the real world, to thoughts of his faltering immune system, his racking cough, the sores in his mouth, the rings around his pupils.�
As it turns out, these troubling symptoms are unlikely to kill him. The pupil halos turn out to be benign. His lung infection proves treatable. The doctor doubles his transfusions of immunoglobulin, and when I see him next, he's looking healthy and feeling fine. We ponder a trip next year to Myanmar.�
And Cam. I almost forgot about Cam. Cam stayed at Burning Man, still on the lookout for a new community, a desert sweetheart, a sense of clarity and closure to his curious year. On Sunday evening the Temple burned, and Cam had a good, exhausting cry over the decline and death of Sierra the dog. By the pulsing light of the embers, Cam met a lovely young woman, a "playa goddess," in his description. By gosh, he and the playa goddess hit it off, and by his own account he got to third base with her. One Californian wrinkle was that two other people were also getting to third or some other base with her at the time Cam stepped onto the field. But that was okay, that was cool. The only truly disappointing thing about the evening was that when the playa goddess started trying to get to third base with Cam, that project got derailed because Cam was wearing some high-concept outdoorsman's trousers that had no zipper access. Still, no regrets. He got more out of the week than he'd honestly expected. He's going back next year. He will be wearing different pants.�

Aerial Photography Valencia to Sevilla.
It is easy, when flying, to miss the great vistas that span out 30,000 feet beneath us – a tiny world, totally removed from our cramped transportation, just getting on with its day-to-day life. But when you concentrate your gaze onto the land itself, it's fascinating to study the ways humans have interacted with the landscape. From our varied farming methods, roads built into mountain ranges, wind farms and power stations; everything that catches the eye is a result of an intricate design for life – and impressive human planning.
These images are part of a series taken during a flight from Valencia to Seville. Looking at the landscape from such a different perspective encourages us to marvel at the huge efforts we've made over centuries to get from A to B. 2012 Digital Photography, Fine Arts, Photography

Stocks fall sharply after weak jobs report
Stocks fell sharply Friday after the release of a dismal report on job creation in the United States. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped more than 200 points, erasing what was left of its gain for the year.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index and Nasdaq composite index both fell more than 1.5 percent in early trading.
American employers added just 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent. Economists had forecast a gain of 158,000 jobs.
A little more than an hour into trading, the Dow was down 215 points at 12,178, leaving it with a loss of 0.3 percent for the year. Earlier this year, the Dow was up more than 8 percent.
"The big worry now is that this economic slowdown is widening and accelerating," said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, a market research firm.
The weak jobs report sent traders stampeding into U.S. government bonds as a safe investment. Bond prices rose sharply, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to 1.46 percent, the lowest on record.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 22 points at 1,287. The Nasdaq was off 52 at 2,775. Both of those indexes were still up for the year - about 2 percent for the S&P and 6 percent for the Nasdaq.
May was by some measures the worst month for the stock market in two years. That was primarily because investors were worried about a worsening debt crisis in Europe.
But the jobs report returned the United States to the flashpoint of market fear, said Todd Salamone, director of research for Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati.
"The weaker jobs report translates into anticipation of slower growth ahead and weaker corporate earnings, and that ratchets stock prices lower," Salamone said.
Stovall said that traders are waiting to see what governments and central banks might do to juice global economic activity. Otherwise, the losses would be even deeper, he said.
The Fed launched bond-buying programs in 2009 and 2010 to lower interest rates and help stock prices, but it has resisted a third round of that approach, known as quantitative easing.
Anticipation of bond-buying by the Fed "might put in a little bit of a floor to the market, but the overall economic picture is still bad," said Bob Gelfond, CEO of MQS Asset Management, a New York hedge fund.
The price of gold shot higher. It rose $37 an ounce to $1,601. For much of the past three years, investors have bought gold for safety during a turbulent time for the world economy.
The dollar weakened. The euro rose half a penny against the dollar to $1.24.
Gold spiked and the dollar fell partly because traders expect more intervention by the Federal Reserve, Gelfond said.
Bond-buying adds to the supply of money coursing through the economy and leads some investors to worry about inflation later, which would make the dollar less valuable. Traders buy gold as a hedge against inflation.

It seems the Dell does something to the router to make it not share its internet but why?
I know this is Mac-Forums but ya'll are smart and I thought I'd try here first.

How are you connecting with the Dell? (usb adapter, etc..)
Has it been on the internet before? (any network?)
Which router are you using?
What is the internet connection? (cable, DSL, etc..)
When all else fails, try everything!

My gut reaction is that the Dell has had an IP address hard-coded into the interface that is the same as your wireless router. This would cause immediate IP routing conflicts that would affect every machine on your LAN. It may not cause the wifi signal to disappear, but it may cause the processor to lag and just not display the data, as it's trying to reconcile the IP conflict.
Does the same thing happen if the Dell's wifi is turned off and it's connected via Ethernet cable?

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
As her case slogs through the state court system, Richardson has grown increasingly frustrated. "This has been going on since February. I been to court six damn times. This foolishness has got to stop. That police is just putting a lie on me and lies don't sit in God's book," she rasps, waving her cane at the portrait of Jesus that dominates her tiny sitting room. "They got kids out there all over the place selling drugs and doing crime. I'm on medication. Why they want to waste their time on me?"
Rosa Rodriguez, Richardson's public defender, wonders the same thing. Rodriguez classifies the case as "absolutely ludicrous," especially given that Alfredo Hernandez had a full day to consider whether the charge was worth filing. "If what she did was so heinous, why didn't they haul her off right then?" Rodriguez asks. She says she understands her client's refusal to accept the prosecutor's plea. "The question should be: What is the State Attorney's Office doing, taking on cases like this in the first place? I mean, when this woman was in court, it was pathetic. She was struggling to get up to the podium." (Prosecutor Dan Gonzalez says he cannot comment on pending cases.)
Hernandez remains undeterred: "That was a good, solid arrest. No question about it: What she did is a crime. She's alleging now that she's not, but that night in question she was very spry and active. She said she was sorry several times afterwards, but it was too late. She was under arrest.

Politico Hires 'Scandalous Sex' Writer for Click
Karin Tanabe quit her job as managing editor of Washington Life on Friday. At the moment, she's on a jaunt out of the country, but soon she'll return for a features position at Politico's Click. We hear that she's replacing Anne Schroeder Mullins, who left Politico to start a media consulting business.
As for scandalous sex, it's true. She's working on a book about scandalous sex in Washington. But it's unlikely that she'll bring that genre to Click.
Tanabe has side gigs: She has blogged for HuffPost Style. She also has a blog called NakedThanks.com, a daily blog she writes with Stacey Pfarr, a Washington Life columnist, in which the women sarcastically thank people — for example, Pfarr thanks McDonalds for letting her "urinate within their walls," and Tanabe thanks Toyota's Camry for the back seat of her boyfriend's car that they use on hot summer nights.
Read Tanabe's blog sample below:
Find out Tanabe's likes and dislikes after the jump…for instance, she's not a fan of rodents with tails.
