Tasted Sunday, June 10, 2012 by AllRed with 507 views
This was our first tasting as official members of the Sunday blind tasting group, and a great way to start. A different format than our Saturday group, the host provides a couple of warm up wines, and selects a theme of 8 wines, served double blind to the group. The warm ups are tasted and evaluated as members arrive, then unveiled prior to the main tasting. The main tasting is done in one flight- all 8 wines are poured and evaluated, all the while being discussed. Everyone settles on their guess as to the theme, and if possible, specific wines. Each taster ranks the wines from 1 to 8, with 1 point awarded for their favorite. The scores are tallied and unveiled from last place (most points) to first place (least points). After the main tasting we enjoy dinner and a few nonblind reds and dessert wines contributed by the attendees. Attendees chip in to cover the host's cost of the wines.
Barb had recently moved, so in addition to the blind warm ups, there were a few nonblind bubblies to toast the new house.
Often times there are many opinions on the theme. This month eveyone was quickly able to settle on Bordeaux, but there were questions about the vintage. Most guesses ranged from 2004 to 2008- I do not recall hearing anyone suggest 2000. These all appeared very youthful with deep color. Listed in order they appeared in the flight.
Thanks Barb for a wonderful tasting.

A contact lens having a back surface comprising a central zone and at least one marginal zone. The central zone and the marginal zone being each constituted by portions of second-order surfaces of revolution other than spherical. The transition from the central to the marginal zone is tangential, and in the marginal zone, the axial clearance between the cornea and the back surface increases in direction towards the edge of the lens.
1. A contact lens having an edge; and a back surface comprising a central zone and at least one marginal zone; said central zone being constituted by a portion of a first second-order surface of revolution other than spherical; said marginal zone being constituted by a portion of a second second-order surface of revolution other than spherical, different from said first second-order surface of revolution; transition from said central to said marginal zone being tangential, and in said marginal zone, axial clearance between a cornea and the back surface increasing towards the edge of said lens.
2. The contact lens as claimed in claim 1, wherein said central zone is constituted by a portion of the surface of an ellipsoid of revolution, the elliptical generatrix of which has a numerical eccentricity smaller than that of the elliptical generatrix of the ellipsoidal surface of said cornea.
3. The contact lens as claimed in claim 1, wherein said marginal zone is constituted by a portion of a surface of revolution, the generatrix of which is a conic section other than a circle, which conic section has a numerical eccentricity larger than that of the elliptical generatrix of said cornea surface.
4. The contact lens as claimed in claim 2, wherein the differences between the eccentricities of said generatrices are selected to be such as to produce an axial edge clearance between said lens and said cornea of between 0.02 and 0.06 mm.
5. The contact lens as claimed in claim 3, wherein differences between the eccentricities of said generatrices are selected to be such as to produce an axial edge clearance between lens and said cornea of between 0.02 and 0.06 mm.
The present invention relates to a contact lens.
Successful use of contact lenses depends both on initial and, to an even greater degree, long-term compatibility which, in their turn, are largely functions of the geometry of the cornea-contacting back surface of the lens in relation to the geometry of the cornea itself.
Geometrically speaking, the cornea is not spherical, but a segment of an ellipsoid or, to be precise, of a prolate ellipsoid of revolution, that is, a solid generated by rotating an ellipse about its major axis. This generating ellipse, or generatrix as it is called, has, however, a rather small eccentricity and the cornea thus approximates a spherical segment closely enough for manufactures of contact lenses, until fairly recently, to try and produce contact lenses with spherical back surfaces, having had, as they did, long experience in, as well as being equipped for, generating spherical surfaces to any degree of accuracy and surface quality. Yet because of the deviation from the true geometry of the cornea, these contact lenses suffer from various drawbacks all of which have a deleterious effect on long-term compatibility that is, ultimately, on wearer comfort: pressure distribution on the corneal surface is nonuniform, surface pressure being concentrated mainly at the edges and the very center of the cornea. This may result in mechanical irritation of the cornea, especially of its periphery and, possibly, of the conjunctiva, in the interference with the essential film of tears on which the lens "floats" or with the not less essential oxygen supply to the corneal surface, and with proper heat exchange between the cornea and the ambient air.
With the advent of computer-controlled machining which facilitated the relatively simple generation also of nonspherical surfaces, an attempt was made to produce contact lenses with an ellipsoidal back surface that was the exact negative of the corneal shape. While these lenses were a distinct improvement upon the spherical ones, they still failed to completely, or even substantially, remedy the above-mentioned difficulties.
It is one of the objects of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior-art contact lenses, and to provide a contact lens of an optimum back-surface geometry (which, as extended tests have shown is not necessarily the perfect negative of the corneal geometry) that will produce uniform pressure distribution, preserve the lacrimal film, enhance thermal and metabolic exchange, and altogether increase initial as well as long-term compatibility.
This the invention achieves by providing a contact lens having a back surface comprising a central zone and at least one marginal zone, said central zone and said marginal zone being each constituted by portions of second-order surfaces of revolution other than spherical, wherein the transition from said central to said marginal zone is tangential, and wherein in said marginal zone, the axial clearance between the cornea and the back surface increases in direction towards the edge of said lens.
The invention will now be described in connection with certain preferred embodiments with reference to the following illustrative figures so that it may be more fully understood.
With specific reference now to the figures in detail, it is stressed that the particulars shown are by way of example and for purposes of illustrative discussion of the preferred embodiments of the present invention only and are presented in the cause of providing what is believed to be the most useful and readily understood description of the principles and conceptual aspects of the invention. In this regard, no attempt is made to show structural details of the invention in more detail than is necessary for a fundamental understanding of the invention, the description taken with the drawings making apparent to those skilled in the art how the several forms of the invention may be embodied in practice.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is an enlarged, schematical cross section, showing the fit between the cornea and the back surface of the contact lens;
FIG. 2 illustrates the tangential transition between the central and the marginal zone of the lens back surface, and
FIG. 3 represents different possibilities for the geometry of the marginal zone.
Referring now to the drawings, there is seen in FIG. 1 a quasi-cross-sectional view of the cornea 2 with its surface 4 in relation to the contact lens 6, with its back surface BS. The cornea is a substantially true ellipsoid of rotation, the generatrix of which is an ellipse with a numerical eccentricity of ε=0.45 (which corresponds to the eccentricity of the average human cornea) and an average radius of curvature, at the vertex, of Ro =7.8 mm. The lens back surface BS, on the other hand, comprises two distinct zones: a central zone A, and a marginal zone B. The central zone A is constituted by a segment of an ellipsoid of revolution, the generatrix of which is an ellipse 8, given by its vertex equation
Y2 =2Ro X-(1-ε2)X2
(Although the commonly used vertex equation of the ellipse reads
Y2 =2pX-(1-ε2)X2
where p is the parameter of the ellipse, it can be shown that p=Ro).
Ro of the elliptical generatrix of zone A is set equal to Ro of the cornea, in this case Ro =7.8 mm. However, the eccentricity ε of the generatrix of zone A is selected to be smaller than the above-mentioned eccentricity ε=0.45 of the cornea and, in this example, is set at ε=0.3.
The marginal zone B in this example is a part of the surface of a two-sheet hyperboloid of revolution, the generating hyperbola, 10, having a radius of curvature Ro which is smaller than that of the cornea, being, in this example, Ro =6.76 mm. The eccentricity ε is 1.15.
It is a characteristic feature of the lens according to the invention that the transition from the central to the marginal zone is tangential, in other words, that point P at which the central curve 8 ends and the marginal curve 10 begins lies on a tangent T (see FIG. 2) common to both curves.
It can be seen that at point P the back surface BS and the surface 4 of the cornea 4 are at their closest distance, being separated by the lacrimal film which, at this point has a thickness of about 8 micron. From point P outward, along curve 10, the clearance between lens and cornea is seen to increase, reaching a maximum at the edge of the contact lens. This axial edge clearance AEC is essential to the attainment of the above-mentioned properties upon which compatibility depends and its effect was found to be optimal at AEC=0.02 to 0.06 mm.
FIG. 2 illustrates the above-mentioned tangentiality condition, showing the elliptical generatrix 8 of the central zone extended, for illustrative purposes, beyond P and even beyond the outside diameter D of the lens, the hyperbolic generatrix 10 of the marginal zone B, also drawn across the central zone A to show the difference between the curves 8 and 10, the points P and the tangents T common to both curves at P.
While zone B in the example of FIG. 1 was generated by a hyperbola, other conic sections (other than the circle) may be used for this purpose. FIG. 3 shows a hyperbola Ro =6.6 and ε=1.2, a parabola Ro =7.05 and ε=1 and an ellipse Ro =7.35 and ε=0.8, all of which meet the tangency condition. The center curve is the ellipse of FIG. 1, Ro =7.8, ε=0.3. Whatever curve is used for the marginal zone, Ro <9 mm and ε>0.55.
Means, per se known, are available to measure the corneal Ro of the prospective user, and lenses are produced from Ro =7.0 to Ro =9.0, in incremental steps of 0.2 mm, and ε<0.35. Outside diameters D vary between 9 and 11 mm, the central zone A having a diameter of 50-75% of D.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the foregoing illustrative embodiments and that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.

1) bookings are not tend to accordingly. Requested a king sized bed clearly during booking. But when arrived for check in, we were told that the room is 2 separate single beds. when i asked why, he told me that the beds can be pushed to join together. n i was told to DO IT MYSELF!
2) parking is not adequate. not enough parking? park at your own risk outside and at the roadside.
3) upon entering room, room are badly maintained :-
- Toilet seat is not fixed. Unsuspecting guest will just fall off the toilet bowl.
- Washroom wash basin water stopper is broken.
- power socket just beside the bed is damaged. Once you plug in (example) a charger, the power socket just dropped off from the wall!

I need to develop a fairly simple algorithm, but am kindof confused as how to best write a test for it.
General description: User needs to be able to delete a Plan. Plan has Tasks associated with it, these need to be deleted as well (as long as they're not already done).
Pseudo-code as how the algorithm should behave:
ForEach Task t in plan.Tasks
If t.Status = Status.Open Then
End If
End ForEach
Now as far as I understand it, unit tests are not supposed to touch the Database or generally require access to any outside systems, so I'm guessing I have two options here:
1) Mock out the Repository calls, and check whether they have been called the appropriate number of times as Asserts
2) Create stubs for both repository classes, setting their delete flag manually and then verify that the appropriate objects have been marked for deletion.
In both approaches, the big question is: What exactly am I testing here? What is the EXTRA value that such tests would give me?
Any insight in this would be highly appreciated. This is technically not linked to any specific unit testing framework, although we have RhinoMocks to be used. But I'd prefer a general explanation, so that I can properly wrap my head around this.

McColl Alumni Raises Funds with 24 Hours of Booty
On July 27-28, 2012, a team 23 of alumni, students, staff and friends of the McColl School of Business came together to fight cancer as a team in 24 Hours of Booty. 24 Hours of Booty is the Official 24-Hour Cycling Event of LIVESTRONGTM, and raises vital funds for local and national cancer charities. Held along the streets bordering the Queens campus, this is not a race, but "a ride with purpose."
The team raised over $14,500 which contributed to the $1.4MM that was raised through the event. To kick-off the ride and celebrate their success, the majority of the team participated in a ceremonial first lap on July 27 to start their individual rides. McColl alums were present to cheer them on!
For one team member this ride held special significance; Ed Coambs PMBA '09 is not only an active member of our alumni association but also a cancer survivor. His wife and fellow teammate Amy and his son, Blaine, joined him for the ride. After the weekend, Ed reflected on the experience sharing that "tears filled my eyes as I rode around the Booty loop Friday night. I finally came to terms with the fact that I am a cancer Survivor. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Melanoma Cancer, just three months before the birth of my first son. Now two years later as I rolled around the Booty loop pulling my son in a bike trailer, the significance of the 24hrs of Booty hit me. People where riding in support of me and the many others who have been, are, and will be affected by cancer." When asked about how the McColl School fits into this event Coambs stated "The McColl School students and alumni not only talk about commitment to community, they live it out."
Total mileage for the team is still being calculated, however several teammates rode 100+ miles and some as much as 175 miles total!
Three local businesses are sponsored the team to cover the cost of custom McColl jerseys, and every dollar raised by the team will go to 24 Hours of Booty to support cancer charities, research and programs.
24 Hours of Booty is a 501c3, headquartered in Charlotte, NC. For more information on the organization, please visit: http://www.24hoursofbooty.org or contact the 24 Hours of Booty office at 704-365-4417.

One of the best ways to increase our body's defenses is through the use of immune system supplements.
Ideally, we would only need healthy foods to maintain health.
Unfortunately, traditional farming practices have stripped away most of our soil's nutrients, leaving the food supply "nutritionally challenged."
Supplementation becomes even more critical if you consume a lot of pre-packaged, highly processed foods that offer little nutrient value.
Refined sugar is the worst offender.
Not only is it nutritionally void, it actually pulls nutrients from the body to metabolize it. So technically it's an anti-nutrient and should be consumed sparingly. More on this on my Sweeteners page.
So, what supplements should you be aware of? Some you will recognize, I'm sure. But there are other gems out there that I bet you've never heard of. So let's get to it.
What comes to mind when you think of supplements to improve the immune system?
First, let's narrow it down a bit and just think about vitamins to support the immune system.
I know vitamin C is on your list. True, it is a powerhouse nutrient and it certainly deserves to be on the list of immune system vitamins. But what about the other important vitamins for immune system health?
Click on the each of the vitamins below to learn more about how you can use them to improve your health.
Okay, let's move on to the minerals. Any idea what minerals strengthen the body's defenses?
This is perhaps a more difficult question. Zinc is probably the most recognized mineral for immune system health.
Curious as to the others? Check out this list of minerals that benefit your immune system.
Time for the amino acids.
Yep, that's right, I said amino acids. Bet you didn't know that some of these protein building blocks are great immune boosters!
Check out information about which amino acid supplements will improve your immune system.
These two very similar terms tend to cause a little confusion.
PRObiotics are beneficial microorganisms, the good bacteria, that live in our intestinal tract (acidophilus is probably the best known). They are key players in supporting our immune system health. These little guys also keep our intestines healthy, promote digestion, and make certain nutrients.
PREbiotics are "food" for the PRObiotics (remember PRE comes before PRO). Prebiotic immune system supplements such as fructooligosaccharides (or FOS) allow the friendly bacteria to multiply, crowding out the hostile bacteria that make us sick.
These critically important supplements benefit not only our immune system, but are essential for our digestive health.

The present invention is a golf club head whose engagement surface is formed between an upper metal piece and a lower metal piece, the upper piece being composed of relatively lighter and less dense material and the lower piece being composed of relatively denser and heavier material. The union of the two pieces is along a single unitary plane. By utilizing this type of design, in which two engagement surfaces of different metallic composition are joined on a single plane to create a continuous engagement surface on the club head, the benefits of improved balance and enhanced performance that result from the lower piece being heavier than the upper piece can be achieved without the need to fit a precisely engineered weight into a precut opening in the golf club head, thus making the manufacture of golf club heads easier and more efficient.
1. A golf club head, comprising:
an upper metal piece defining an upper engagement surface, the upper engagement surface lying substantially entirely in a single plane;
a hollow lower metal piece defining a lower engagement surface positioned flush against the upper engagement surface to define a substantially single-plane interface between the lower and upper pieces, the lower and upper pieces not interfacing with each other apart from the single-plane interface; and
at least one fastener engaged with the pieces, the upper metal piece being devoid of any weighting elements denser than the upper piece above the plane apart from the fastener.
2. The club head of claim 1, wherein the upper piece has a first density and the lower piece has a second density, and the first density is less than the second.
3. The club head of claim 1, wherein the upper piece has a first weight and the lower piece has a second weight, and the first weight is less than the second.
4. The club head of claim 1, wherein the upper piece includes a material selected from the group of materials including titanium and aluminum, and the lower piece includes at least one of: copper, iron, nickel, or tungsten.
5. The club head of claim 4, wherein the upper piece includes titanium and the lower piece includes at least tungsten.
6. The club head of claim 1, in combination with a golf club shaft to establish a golf club.
7. The club head of claim 1, further comprising plural bolts engaging the pieces.
8. A golf club head, comprising:
an upper head piece;
a hollow lower head piece;
one and only one substantially planar interface therebetween; and
at least one fastener engaged with the pieces, the upper piece being devoid of any weighting elements denser than the upper piece above the planar interface apart from the fastener.
9. The golf club head of claim 8, wherein the upper piece has a first density and the lower piece has a second density, and the first density is less than the second.
10. The club head of claim 8, wherein the upper piece includes a material selected from the group of materials including titanium and aluminum, and the lower piece includes at least one of: copper, iron, nickel, or tungsten.
11. The club head of claim 10, wherein the upper piece includes titanium and the lower piece includes tungsten.
12. The club head of claim 8, in combination with a golf club shaft to establish a golf club.
13. The club head of claim 8, further comprising plural bolts engaging the pieces.
The present invention relates generally to golf clubs, and more particularly to golf club heads that are weighted for improved balance and enhanced performance.
Heavy soles have been provided on golf clubs to lower their center of gravity and thereby improve the balance of the clubs during the stroke. For clubs that were made of wood (hence the term "woods" to refer to modern metal-only drivers), a heavy metal insert was precisely fitted onto the bottom of the wood piece. More specifically, to enable the wood to bear the load of the metal weight during the stroke, a precise fit between the metal weight and the wood piece of the head was required in two planes, one more or less vertical and one more or less horizontal.
The precise, small-tolerance fit between a lower, heavier piece of the club head and a lighter upper piece was retained when all-metal club heads were developed. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,527,034 to Ashcraft et al. discloses a golf club head having an aluminum or brass body and a separate sole that fits into cavity which must be machined into the body, with machining being necessary to fit the sole and body together, Ashcraft et al. abstract and col. 3, lines 62-63. While machining can be time consuming, it is easier to machine aluminum or brass club heads such as the Ashcraft et al. head than it is to machine heads made of titanium, tungsten, copper, and iron. Accordingly, as recognized herein a precise fit in two interface planes between a lighter upper head piece and a heavier lower head piece, particularly when one piece includes titanium, tungsten, copper, or iron, complicates manufacturing and increases the time and expense required for making the club head. Fortunately, the present invention recognizes that it is possible to provide a two-piece golf club head without requiring a multi-plane interface.
The present invention includes a golf club head, an upper metal piece of which defines an upper engagement surface and a lower metal piece of which is heavier and more dense than the upper piece and which defines a lower engagement surface. The more dense lower piece results in an improved feel and lower center of gravity of a golf club on which the head is mounted, compared to an otherwise uniform head. Also, the present golf club head facilitates launching a golf ball into the air when struck, and the head passes more easily through turf during a swing as compared to a conventional head.
The upper engagement surface is positioned flush against the lower engagement surface in such a manner as to define one and only one single-plane interface between the upper and lower engagement surfaces of the club head. The upper and lower engagement surfaces do not interface with each other in any manner apart from this single-plane interface.
Thus, the present invention as herein described is manufactured by joining the upper and lower engagement surfaces along a single plane in such a way that the two engagement surfaces form one continuous engagement surface, then bolting the upper and lower engagement surfaces together, and then removing the excess metal from the lower or upper piece of the club head or otherwise blending the edges so that the union of the upper and lower engagement surfaces of the club face is smooth.
The present invention therefore obviates the need for insertion into precisely-cut openings in golf club faces of weights manufactured to exact tolerances, thereby rendering the process of manufacturing golf clubs more simple and more efficient.
It is of the essence of the present invention that the two head pieces define an interface in one single plane. For the purposes of this application, "an interface" is to be understood as "a condition in which two or more elements are situated in direct flush physical contact with one another," as is the case with the two pieces of the golf club in the present invention. A condition in which two or more elements are connected to each other by elements such as bolts or glue, is not considered as establishing a different interface in another plane, apart from the single plane.
The details of the present invention, both as to its structure and to its operation, can best be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present golf club head, with portions of the shaft broken away;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the golf club head, showing the heavier lower piece exploded away from the lighter upper piece and showing the pieces canted away from each other to show the interface surfaces of both pieces, showing only one of four bolts for clarity;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the club head prior to removing overlap areas of the lower piece;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the club head shown in FIG. 3 after overlap areas of the lower piece have been removed to establish a flush perimeter interface between the two pieces of the club face; and
FIG. 5 is a side view of an alternate club head prior to removing overlap areas of an upper piece.
It is to be understood that although each Figure in this description depicts a specific type of golf club, the following description applies equally to all types of clubs, including putters, irons, and woods.
Now referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a golf club is shown, generally designated 10, that includes a shaft 12 and a head, generally designated 14 that is attached to the shaft 12 by means known in the art. In FIG. 1, the unshaded portion represents a golf ball-striking surface 16 of the club 10, and the striking surface 16 includes an upper face 18 and a lower face 20, with the line 22 representing a single plane interface therebetween. If desired, the interface plane through line 22 can be canted upwardly or downwardly at one of a variety of angles. In one preferred embodiment, the interface plane is canted downwardly from the striking surface 16 at an angle of about five degrees (5�). It is to be understood that the interface plane need not extend through the striking surface 16.
As can be appreciated in reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper face 18 is established by an upper, unitary, lighter, less dense piece 24 of the head 14 and a lower, unitary, heavier, more dense piece 26 of the head 14. In one preferred embodiment, the upper piece 24 of the golf club head 14 is made of relatively light and less dense materials, such as titanium or a titanium alloy or aluminum or aluminum alloy, while the lower piece 26 is made from relatively heavy and more dense materials, such as a copper-based alloy, a tungsten-based alloy, a nickel-based alloy, or an iron-based alloy.
As shown in FIG. 2, the upper piece 24 defines an upper engagement surface 28 and the lower piece 26 defines a lower engagement surface 30 configured for flushly abutting the upper engagement surface 28 in a single substantially planar junction. Thus, both engagement surfaces 28, 30 are substantially single-plane surfaces, with the understanding that some minor curvature in the surfaces 28, 30 renders the surfaces 28, 30 nonetheless "substantially planar". As shown, the upper and lower pieces 24, 26 can be hollow, and the surfaces 28, 30 need not be continuous, but instead can be continuous only along the peripheries of upper and lower cavities 32, 34 respectively defined by the upper and lower pieces 24, 26.
FIGS. 2-4 illustrate the manner of assembling the present invention. As shown best in FIG. 3, an overlap portion 36 of the lower piece 26 initially overlaps the periphery 38 of the upper piece 24. This is acceptable at this stage of the manufacturing process, since the lower piece 26 is not designed to fit precisely in a tight multi-planar fit.
Also, as shown best in FIG. 2, plural, preferably, four, upper holes 40 are drilled vertically into the upper piece 24 and four lower holes 42 are drilled into the lower piece 26. The lower holes 42 pass completely through the lower piece 26, whereas the upper holes 40 pass only part way through the upper piece 24. Plural bolts 44 register pairs of holes 40, 42 and hold the pieces 24, 26 together. Also, adhesive can be used to hold the pieces together.
Next, the overlap portion 36 is removed by, e.g., grinding and polishing, such that the periphery 46 of the lower piece 26 is contiguous to the periphery 38 of the upper piece 24 as shown in FIG. 4. In other words, after grinding and/or polishing, the upper and lower pieces 24, 26 fit smoothly together as shown in FIG. 4. Any portion of the bolts 44 (FIG. 2) that protrude beyond the bottom surface 48 of the lower piece 26 are then cut away and polished such that nothing protrudes below the bottom surface 48.
It is to be understood that the above principles apply equally when an upper piece 100 of a golf club head 102 overlaps a lower piece 104 of the head 102, as seen in FIG. 5. In such an embodiment, overlap portions 106 of the upper piece 102 are removed by grinding or polishing.
In any case, it is to be appreciated that with the present invention, it is not necessary to make the upper and lower pieces while maintaining exact dimensional control, in contrast the above-referenced patent to Ashcraft et al., which requires machining to obtain the necessary fit. As recognized herein, such machining can be relatively expensive, particularly when titanium, tungsten, nickel, iron, or copper is the metal used for one of the upper or lower pieces.
While the particular BI-METALLIC GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH SINGLE PLANE INTERFACE as herein shown and described in detail is fully capable of attaining the above-described objects of the invention, it is to be understood that it is the presently preferred embodiment of the present invention and is thus representative of the subject matter which is broadly contemplated by the present invention, that the scope of the present invention fully encompasses other embodiments which may become obvious to those skilled in the art, and that the scope of the present invention is accordingly to be limited by nothing other than the appended claims, in which reference to an element in the singular is not intended to mean "one and only one" unless explicitly so stated, but rather "one or more". All structural and functional equivalents to the elements of the above-described preferred embodiment that are known to those of ordinary skill in the art are expressly incorporated herein by reference and are intended to be encompassed by the present claims. Moreover, it is not necessary for a device or method to address each and every problem sought to be solved by the present invention, for it to be encompassed by the present claims.

Male graduates on average earn more than female graduates; the first group banks $57K per year, but the second group takes home only $41K.
Northwest grads who become Software Engineers garner financial rewards beyond any other job type for this group — these alumni rake in an average $90K annually. However, Digital Marketing Managers and Account Managers also rank as top-earners (bringing in approximately $51K and $46K, respectively). Sitting at the bottom of the pay scale are Business Analysts who make an average of about $43K.
Many Northwest students are Kansas City, Mo.-bound following college. Northwest grads also flock to Overland Park, Kan., which is home to salaries significantly above average (median pay is $70K). On the other hand, Northwest alumni who end up in St. Joseph, Mo. receive the lowest median salary of $39K. Other popular cities include Des Moines, Iowa and Maryville, Mo.
A graduate with a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Finance from Northwest can rake in a whopping average around $110K per year, more than any other degree from this school. Those holding a Bachelor of Science in Psychology are less fortunate in terms of earnings, bringing in $38K on average per year.
Financial Analysis commands a pay premium of 51 percent for former Bearcats. Many former Northwest students are familiar with Project Management, and one in seven grads move on to positions where this experience is utilized. Other top skills include Customer Service, Microsoft Office, and Marketing Communications.
Paid time off due to illness is less common here than paid vacation time, just over a third of graduates report receiving the former, whereas just half of the alumni report receiving the latter. Most graduates set up a 401(k) to save for retirement. Benefits are rather generous for graduates of this school; a large number of grads are rewarded with health insurance and the larger part of alums report dental coverage, too. Northwest Missouri State University grads also enjoy benefits like life insurance, a casual working environment, a company-subsidized cell phone, and tuition reimbursement.
University of Nebraska at Kearney graduates, who earn $51K on average, make a similar amount to Northwest grads. The University of Central Missouri, Western Illinois University, and Emporia State University are also similar to Northwest.

1991 Pontiac Grand Am Q&A
1991 Pontiac Grand Am Question: Noise somewhere in rear of car.
While at a stop sign, I heard a noise. Thinking noise was some kind of emergency vehicle siren emitted by the vehicle behind me, I pulled over into a driveway. Realizing the noise was from my own car, I got out to try to locate the source. Outside the car, the noise was not as loud. It seemed to come from the rear area and much easier to hear from inside the car. The noise seemed to last about two seconds, stop for one second. After about one minute the noise stopped. This noise first occurred returning home from a road trip 7/4/10 and again the next day at a stop sign. On the short time to the store etc. it did not reoccur. - Jake39

So many pitchers, so few innings.
It's a problem Grand Junction Rockies pitching coach Ryan Kibler isn't complaining about, however.
"I've never had this many available to pitch," said Kibler, who's been with the Rockies since they moved from Casper in 2012. "I've had upwards of four and five guys hurt who aren't game-ready, but this many active? Twenty, 19 guys are active, or will be by July 15. I've never had that many."

japanese hexagon flap bag
This isn't the first time I've made this Hexagon Flower Flap bag. In fact, it's the fourth. I made three versions of it as shop samples and taught a few classes on it. But that was ... wow, like 8 years ago! If I recall correctly (and that's a big if these days), this was the first "Japanese" bag I ever made. It also started my love affair with Japanese bag-making techniques, patterns, craft books & magazines, and of course fabrics.
It's a clever little design with the hexie flap and the little snaps inside so you pleat the opening or leave them undone. I was inspired by the gorgeous Daiwabo acorn/stripe print I found last year (sorry, very hard to find) and I used old scraps from my precious Japanese fabric stash for the hexagons.
I wish I could have found silver or brass snaps in my cupboard, but I had to settle for black. It makes me wince just a bit when I see it. Maybe if I remember the next time I'm at the notions store I will get a better colour and replace it.

David Haye can become heavyweight star again, says Glenn McCrory
Glenn McCrory blogs on David Haye, David Price, Timothy Bradley and the state of European boxing.
Last Updated: 21/03/13 9:27am
The Klitschko brothers are getting older and no-one else has really put their hands up and shown that they are going to be the man to usher in a new era.
Therefore, David Haye, who is rumoured to be returning to the ring to try and fight his way into another match with a Klitschko, has an opportunity to become the star, something he has always wanted to be.
I wrote a few months back that I would like to see Haye fight David Price and Tyson Fury - and reports suggest the latter could be his first opponent - but I also want to see him face some American prospects, like Deontay Wilder and Seth Mitchell.
David is only 32, which, as we saw last week when Bernard Hopkins became world light-heavyweight champion in his 49th year, is no age in boxing, especially in the heavyweight division where movement is not as vital.
So I wouldn't be surprised to see him win another world belt and I wouldn't be shocked if David Price took one, too, despite his shock loss to Tony Thompson in February, where he was knocked out inside two rounds.
Price was on a great run so he will be disappointed to lose his unbeaten record, but in heavyweight boxing one punch from anyone, even if they've been dieting on beer and cigars, can knock you down - something Joe Louis found out when he was decked by "Two Ton" Tony Galento.
I am not that concerned about David's future and if he regroups and makes sure he doesn't drop his left hand as easily as he did against Thompson, he will come back stronger.
The Klitschkos and Russia's Alexander Povetkin are standing tall in the heavyweight division at the minute, and Mikkel Kessler is WBA super-middleweight champion.
But outside of the cruiserweight scene, which features Cuban-born German Yoan Pablo Hernandez, fully-fledged German Marco Huck and Poland's Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, there aren't too many non-British Europeans making waves.
That's nothing particularly new, though; Max Schmeling is a former world heavyweight champion and there are a few other success stories, but the hotbeds of boxing have traditionally been in the States, in South America (Mexico especially) and in Britain.
The marquee names have come from those parts of the world so European kids have perhaps not had any local heroes to latch onto, but hopefully the success of the Klitschkos will help boost the interest in boxing over there and, in turn, produce more quality fighters.
We must also not forget that while Germany has always had a big passion for the sport, professional boxing in the Eastern Bloc is very new, so it might take another 10-15 years before we see more Europeans hold world titles - but I wouldn't back against it happening.
Question marks
WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, meanwhile, extended his record to 30-0 with a successful title defence against Russia's Ruslan Provdonikov at the weekend, but he still has question marks against his name.
The Californian hit the canvas on Saturday night and did not look entirely convincing en route to securing a points decision, while his win over Manny Pacquaiao in June, in which he handed the Filipino his first defeat in seven years, was undeserved in most people's eyes, including mine.
You can't discount his record, which includes a victory over Kell Brook's next opponent, Devon Alexander, and he is up there with some of the other stars in his division, like Floyd Mayweather and Lucas Matthysse.
But the really big fights, outside of Pacquaio, and the really big paydays are yet to come his way and the name Timothy Bradley doesn't really set the pulse racing.
Sooner or later, I think he could be accounted for.

Originally written on BroncoTalk | Last updated 3/13/13
Wes Welker may be hooking up with a future Hall of Fame QB after all. The former New England Patriots standout wide receiver is in "serious talks" with the Denver Broncos today, the second day of free agency, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The team reportedly wants to "hammer out a deal" with the All-Pro slot receiver. Welker, 31, had 118 catches for 1,354 yards last year, his fifth year hauling in over 110 receptions (an NFL record). He was paid $9.5 million for those services as the Patriots' franchise player in 2012. Landing Welker would give quarterback Peyton Manning a third star receiver in Denver, joining Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker. According to Schefter, a decision is expected sometime Wednesday.
