Fumblr is the fake blogging platform that examines the NFL through invented memes. It runs every Wednesday.
I believe the pro wrestling term for this is "face turn." Jay Cutler, the NFL's premiere pissy-faced aloof dickhead, reveals that he's actually -- GASP! -- a decent human being. Photos surface of Cutler holding the door for a woman carrying two large boxes. He starts smiling while signing autographs and high-fiving fans as he runs into the tunnel at halftime. On the way home from practice, he pulls over to help a man change the tire of his truck. "Don't thank me," he says, "just pay it forward."
"I heard it was your birthday, so I baked you a cake."
The sprinkler system made a surprise appearance during the Seahawks-Dolphins game, prompting this obvious but well-executed spoof:
Unfortunately for our collective viewing experience, the snafu didn't occur during a play. And unfortunately for Seattle fans like me, it didn't pan out as it does in the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial, when the sprinkler trips a player to cause overtime. The Seahawks could've used that kind of freak bailout during their fourth-quarter swoon. But hey, how can you expect the best secondary in the NFL to contain Ryan Tannehill and Davone Bess at home, where they can work in perfect silence in front of tens of thousands of empty orange chairs?
(Yup. Still butthurt about that one.)
Quick note to Norv Turner: in the final games before you get fired, please do not absentmindedly finger your wattle. It frightens the children. Also, I'd prefer not to type "finger your wattle" ever again.
It has now been almost a week since the Jets' Thanksgiving massacre, and I'm still fascinated by the second-quarter implosion. The Mark Sanchez butt-fumble gets all the attention, but it was merely the third of five touchdowns the Pats scored that quarter, and the second of three scored in less than a minute. Let's relive it, shall we?
It's not that the Jets are truly bad -- not the way that the Chiefs are. The Jets generally play solid defense and muddle their way past teams that are worse than they are. But they have a gift for channeling all of their potential incompetence and funneling it into narrow windows (see also: the 34-0 Week 4 loss at home to San Francisco). Against the Patriots, the Jets ran as many plays as their opponent (67) and gained over 400 yards of offense. But a minus-four turnover differential tends to swing a game in the other direction -- New England jumped to a 35-0 lead in the second quarter despite having possession for just over two minutes. A quick look at the play-by-play shows where things went wrong:
Jets fourth-and-1: Shonn Greene's attempt to reach the first-down marker is swatted more than ten yards upfield and recovered by the Pats. Honestly, it was a pretty ridiculous and hilarious fumble, but viewers had no idea that it would be trumped so quickly.
Pats first-and-10: Swing pass to Shane Vereen goes 83 yards for a touchdown. Bart Scott was technically in pursuit, but only in the loosest sense of the word.
Kickoff to Jets, followed by an 11-yard completion on 1st-and-ten to move the chains.
Jets first-and-10: Sanchez turns left to hand the ball off as the running back goes past his right. Thinking quickly, Sanchez runs forward to avoid a big loss, then -- this part is speculation -- I think he starts to slide when he doesn't see any daylight in the line. Until this point, it's a relatively savvy handling of a broken play. After this point, his head bounces off guard Brandon Moore's ass, he fumbles and Stephen Gregory scoops the ball up and takes it in for the score. The GIFs above capture it well, but there are more angles in the video here. I recommend them all.
Kickoff to Jets. Joe McKnight returns the kick to the 20-yard line, gets popped by Devin McCourty, and the ball lands directly in the hands of Julian Edelman, who scores without a Jet touching him.
Six plays, three turnovers, three Pats touchdowns in 53 seconds. Rex Ryan's reaction:
I'm no lip-reader, but I know a swear word spliced into an adjective anywhere.
After a 56-yard bomb to Edelman made it a five-touchdown lead, the cameras -- God bless them -- went to the crowd.
"Jets fans in tiny hats" could easily be its own Fumblr, by the way.
Just because I already wasted a lot of words on the Jets doesn't mean I'm going to pass on the chance for a McKayla Maroney Photoshop.

People with podcasts are AWFUL. One day the person you know and like is a normal person with thoughts and observations, then they get a podcast and everything is all "podcast this" and "podcast that."
"My guest for the podcast today is..."
"About to tape my podcast!"
"Had a blast recording my podcast! Look for it on iTunes tomorrow!"
"If you get a chance, review my podcast on iTunes!"
Ugh. So yes, that's the world I've entered. Uffsides, my NFL podcast, streams live with a different guest every Tuesday at noon right here on SB Nation. If you miss it, you can watch the replay on YouTube at your leisure, OR download it from iTunes in audio or video form.
Now let us never speak of it again. (Until next week!)
Nope. Not until Mark Sanchez finishes his elegant performance art installation.

With Nate Clements in a walking boot, Leon Hall nursing a hammy, Jason Allen down-again! and Dre Kirkpatrick still out, the Bengals had an alarming lack of depth in the secondary. The only healthy corners as of this writing are Adam Jones and Terence Newman.
So, when considering the alternatives (none), the Bengals brought back safety Chris Crocker. They made room for him by cutting another guy that's been healthy for an hour and a half this year, TE Donald Lee.
I don't know about you, but I have serious mixed feelings on this one. Letting go of Crocker was the right move in January. The guy whiffed big time in the playoffs, and he has some chronically bad knees. Nonetheless, he is experienced, healthy (right now), and knows Zimmer's system. In all actuality, he may even start this Sunday opposite Reggie Nelson at strong safety.
And it may not be the worst thing in the world. The middle of the Bengals defense has been the problem. Everything behind Geno Atkins has been ugly. Maualuga's struggles at the Mike Backer are well-publicized at this point, and Taylor Mays and Jeromy Miles have been hot and cold at best behind him. Crocker, though mediocre, may supply some much-needed stability in the back end until Clements can get back on the field. The fact that he hasn't been placed on IR yet seems to indicate he'll be back soon.
As for Lee, it's a shame he's gone. He made some solid plays when he was healthy. It's been speculated by some already though, that the Bengals could bring him back once these other positions stabilize.
With BJGE now wearing number 42, Crocker will don the #33 jersey.

The Restored Calendar Tutorial
Posted by chung in Tutorial , Street Magic , CloseUp
NONE of the principles employed in this clever combination are new, but, as the audience only sees the surface of a trick, the effect is none the worse on that account. If this surface is properly camouflaged, the closer one sticks to the time-tried methods the better.
The Effect
The performer takes one of the leaves from an advertising calendar, tears off a corner and gives it to one of the audience to hold. Then he tears the remainder of the leaf into strips, which he rolls into a ball, saying: "There's another month gone, how time flies!" Holding the ball at the tips of the fingers of the left band, he picks up a fan from the table with the right and fans the strips, at the same time working the ball open with the fingers. He then lays the fan on the table and straightens out the paper, showing the leaf restored. He passes it to the spectator who holds the piece torn from the corner, who fits it in place and reports that the fit is perfect. He then pretends that someone looks suspicious, and, turning to him says: "I see, sir, that you suspect some trickery on my part, but you wrong me, you really do. I assure you that I am as innocent as an unusually young babe. You think that I kept this original sheet and tore up another. Now just to make you regret all the rest of your life that you so wrong fully mistrusted a fellow mortal, I'm going to sacrifice another month of our all too short life by again tearing this into bits." He proceeds exactly as before, returns to his table, picks up the fan and fans his right hand while walking back toward the audience. Then he straightens it out and again has the corner fitted.
Turning to the suspicious spectator he says, "Sir, I shall expect a public apology from you. Otherwise my second will call on you in the morning."

Hannah Hobbs, an employee of Bennigan's in Borger, recently served a guest who ordered a beer for his friend who was a fallen comrade.
The beer was intended to be a memorial to Navy Lt. J.G. Francis Toner IV. The guest left a note with the beer that read ŌĆ£In memory of Lt. J.G. Francis Toner, USN. Killed in action 27 March 2009, Balkh Province, Afghanistan. ŌĆśNon sibi said patriaeŌĆÖ NOT FORGOTTEN!ŌĆØ
Without wanting to empty the beer, Hobbs finally took a photo of the memorial at the end of the night and posted it to her personal Facebook page so the image could live forever. In her post above the photo she stated, ŌĆ£This guy came in and asked if it was ok if he left this on the bar.. I cried :( I left it there until like 11:30 ... I didnŌĆÖt want to pour it out but I had to. So IŌĆÖm posting this pic so it can stay forever!! So can I get some likes people??ŌĆØ
To her surprise, the post went viral, attracting 1,071,335 ŌĆ£likesŌĆØ and was shared more than 96,047 times on the social networking site. Hobbs has received recognition and praise from past and present military service members, as well as from the public. Hobbs also received an award from Bennigan's called a ABCD (Above and Beyond Call of Duty) Award.
According to Nikki Tichansky, brand manager for Bennigan's , her motivation to keep this action strong sparked interest in the national restaurant chain to make awareness and help raise funds for the families of U.S. military personnel and wounded warriors.
Bennigan's Restaurants launched a social media effort on its Facebook page entitled the ŌĆ£Wall of Heroes,ŌĆØ to pay tribute to servicemen and women. Guests at any of BenniganŌĆÖs restaurants have the option to buy a beer and leave a note for any member in the U.S. military. Pictures of the beer and note can be posted on the companyŌĆÖs Facebook timeline at www.facebook.com/BennigansFanPage or emailed to email@example.com.
Bennigan's will give $1 for every photo posted commemorating a soldier, through Memorial Day, to Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides emergency financial and other help to the families of our service members and wounded warriors.
ŌĆ£This will give our guest the privilege to honor people who have touched there lives,ŌĆØ said Tichansky.
The ŌĆ£Wall of HeroesŌĆØ will run all the way through Memorial Day so go and order a beer and dedicate it to a current or fallen hero in their memory on Memorial Day.

Florida's per capita personal income grows to $38,444
Florida's per capita personal income grew by 4.7 percent in 2007 to $38,444 according to preliminary estimates released Wednesday by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
During 2006, per capita personal income in Florida grew 5.5 percent to $36,720, up from the $34,798 in 2005.
Florida's per capita personal income was lower than the U.S. figure, which stands at $38,611, up 5.2 percent from the $36,714 in 2006.
"The average Florida resident saw a smaller increase in income than the average American," said David Lenze, an economist with the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. "But the cost of living in Florida is lower than elsewhere; a few hundred dollars goes a long way in Florida."
On average, personal income has grown 6.2 percent nationwide for the past four years. Nationwide inflation, as measured by the national price index for personal consumption expenditures, slowed to 2.6 percent in 2007 down from 2.8 percent in 2006.
The report did not include a breakdown of inflation by state. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis will release local information on Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties on April 24, Lenze said.
Personal income encompasses the earnings of workers, Social Security benefits, and any interest earned by an individual. Florida ranked 15th nationwide for state personal income growth during the fourth quarter of 2007, the report showed.
The profession that contributed the most in 2007 to figuring Florida's per capita income was the health-care sector — which raised the growth rate by one half of a percentage point. Lenze said that doesn't necessarily mean that those in the health-care profession are getting paid more than the average statewide worker.
"We have to be careful about making generalizations ... health-care professionals' income grew because they might be getting paid more but also more people entered that workforce and those in health care could be working more hours," Lenze said. "There could be all sorts of reasons for the increase."
Construction, which showed a .33 percent decline, lowered Florida's per capita income in 2007, the report showed.
"This was a very large industry in Florida, so the decline subtracted three-tenths of a percentage point from personal income growth in Florida," Lenze said.
He attributed the decrease to fewer people employed in construction, working shorter hours in the profession and workers taking a pay cut in the construction sector.

Front end quote, I need opinions
So I went to go get an alignment and apparently i need all 4 ball joints replaced, a track bar and my front shocks replaced, all together it would cost $1900 at midas, would it be worth it or should I just go to Napa and buy the parts and find a mechanic to do it privatley?
Depends on a few variables IMO.
You will be able to do it cheaper yourself no doubt, but do you have the time?
What quality of parts are they using?
If you do it yourself can you be without the truck for a weekend?
Do you have the tools? I/e ball joint press
I was quoted $800 for all 4 ball joints and an alignment. Front end u joints were another $250.
I did my ball joints and axle u joints for about $165 in parts. You'll need a ball joint press and I had to use a torch to heat the knuckles to get them out. Was about 6 hours in labor for that.
thanks, I think that will be the better option to do, ill get a buddy to help me out, i got a station wagon to get me around (not nearly as cool as the ram though:smiley_thumbs_up:
Canadian Tire has a loan a tool program for things like ball joint removers. You use you credit card # as collateral until you bring the tool back. No charge unless you don't return it. Rock Auto has a good price for parts and delivery to Canada is cheap when compared to the price for parts that we get hosed with. Example, my dealer wanted to install a new aftermarket hub assembly on my 2007 and cost for the part was going to be $599 + hst whereas I got a Timken hub assy for $139 + shipping. I ordered a couple other parts and shipping was still only bout $50.
I got the ball joint press from NAPA. They charged my card $265, then credited the amount back when I returned it.
I agree with all the posts above. Do it yourself assuming you are also able to remedy the situation yourself.
Did you have them show you how each part was needing replacement? I always have, if taken to a shop, have them show me exactly why.
I'm surprised they didn't toss in the unit bearings...typically you change those same time as the ball joints.
Ujoints for the axle shafts themselves are not that expensive. You can pull the whole unit bearing and axle shafts out as single unit. I paid a shop to swap the ujoints $30 total. Just carried them over to them.
I don't see any problem going with Napa. Online I went with RockAuto.com for unit bearings (Timken) and Quad4x4.com for balljoints.
I'd leave the track bar alone right now as well as the shocks. Those are easier to deal with compared to the BJs.
Find out how much if you supply the parts most midas get them from napa maybe you could save a few bucks that way.

2. The computer-implemented method of
performing a search of a corpus using a current query; and
modifying search results according to a mapping of the current query onto the at least one taxonomy.
The present disclosure is related to the following commonly assigned applications/patents:
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/712,307, filed Nov. 12, 2003, entitled "Systems and Methods for Search Query Processing Using Trend Analysis" to Kapur (hereinafter "Kapur I");
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/713,576, filed Nov. 12, 2003, entitled "Systems and Methods for Generating Concept Units from Search Queries" to Kapur et al. (hereinafter "Kapur II");
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/797,614, filed Mar. 9, 2004, entitled "Systems and Methods for Search Processing Using Superunits" to Kapur et al. (hereinafter "Kapur III"); and
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/818,752, filed Apr. 5, 2004, entitled "Universal Search Interface System and Methods" to Kapur (hereinafter "Kapur IV").
U.S. patent application No. 10/______, filed of even date herewith, entitled "Search Processing with Automatic Categorization of Queries" to Kapur (hereinafter "Kapur V").
The respective disclosures of these applications/patents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
The present invention relates generally to network and Internet search and interface systems and more particularly to search systems that provide enhanced search functionality including functions wherein search queries are automatically categorized according to one or more taxonomies and wherein taxonomies can be automatically generated from past queries and/or user actions in relation to the queries.
With the advent of the Internet and the multitude of web pages and media content available to a user over the World Wide Web (web), there has become a need to provide users with streamlined approaches to filter and obtain desired information from the web. Search systems and processes have been developed to meet the needs of users to obtain desired information. Examples of such technologies can be accessed through Yahoo!, Google and other sites. Typically, a user inputs a query and a search process returns one or more links (in the case of searching the web), documents and/or references (in the case of a different search corpus) related to the query. The links returned may be closely related, or they may be completely unrelated, to what the user was actually looking for. The "relatedness" of results to the query may be in part a function of the actual query entered as well as the robustness of the search system (underlying collection system) used. Relatedness might be subjectively determined by a user or objectively determined by what a user might have been looking for.
Taxonomies take time to update manually, but since they can be useful for searching large corpuses, automated methods of generating taxonomies for large corpuses would be useful.
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for processing search requests, including analyzing received queries in order to provide a more sophisticated understanding of the information being sought.
In some embodiments, categorization is done using a learned set of query-node pairs where a pair maps a particular query to a particular node in the taxonomy. The learned set might be initialized from a manual indication of which queries go with which nodes and enhanced as more searches are performed. One method of enhancement involves tracking post-query click activity to identify how a category estimate of a query might have varied from an actual category for the query as evidenced by the category of the post-query click activity, e.g., a particular hits of the search results that the user selected following the query. A manually created taxonomy might drive the search process, but a taxonomy can be manually generated from a history or queries and/or other taxonomies.
The following detailed description together with the accompanying drawings will provide a better understanding of the nature and advantages of the present invention.
I. Overview
A. Network Implementation
Client system 20 also typically includes one or more user interface devices 22. The present invention is suitable for use with the Internet, which refers to a specific global internetwork of networks. However, it should be understood that other networks can be used instead of or in addition to the Internet, such as an intranet, an extranet, a virtual private network (VPN), a non-TCP/IP based network, any LAN or WAN or the like. Additional details of an embodiment of a client system are described in Kapur V.
B. Search System
According to one embodiment, a client application (represented as module 125) executing on client system 120 includes instructions for controlling client system 120 and its components to communicate with server systems 150 and 160 and to process and display data content received therefrom.
Additionally, client application module 125 includes various software modules for processing data and media content, such as a specialized search module 126 for processing search requests and search result data, a user interface module 127 for rendering data and media content in text and data frames and active windows, e.g., browser windows and dialog boxes, and an application interface module 128 for interfacing and communicating with various applications executing on client 120. In some embodiments, client application module 125 provides features of a universal search interface as described in Kapur IV. Other details are described in Kapur V.
According to one embodiment, server system 160 is configured to provide search result data and media content to client system 120, and server system 150 is configured to provide data and media content such as web pages to client system 120, for example, in response to links selected in search result pages provided by server system 160. As will be described in more detail below, server system 160 in one embodiment references various collection technologies for populating one or more indexes with, for example pages, links to pages, etc. Such collection technologies include automatic web crawlers, spiders, etc., as well as manual or semi-automatic classification algorithms and interfaces for classifying and ranking web pages within a hierarchical structure such as a taxonomy. In certain aspects, server 160 is also configured with search related algorithms for processing and ranking web pages. Server 160 is also preferably configured to record user query activity in the form of query log files, such as the queries submitted, when they were submitted, who submitted them and what the submitter did after receiving search results.
Search server system 160 in one embodiment references various page indexes 170 that are populated with, e.g., pages, links to pages, data representing the content of indexed pages, etc. Page indexes may be generated by various collection technologies including automatic web crawlers, spiders, etc., as well as manual or semi-automatic classification algorithms and interfaces for classifying and ranking web pages within a hierarchical structure. These technologies may be implemented on search server system 160 or in a separate system (not shown) that generates a page index 170 and makes it available to search server system 160.
An entry 162 in page index 170 includes a search term, a link (or other encoded identifier) to a page in which that term appears and a context identifier for the page. Additional details of the operation of search server system to obtain search results is provided in Kapur IV.
As used herein, a "server system" typically includes one or more logically and/or physically connected servers distributed locally or across one or more geographic locations; the terms "server" and "server system" are used interchangeably.
The search server system may be configured with one or more page indexes and algorithms for accessing the page index(es) and providing search results to users in response to search queries received from client systems. The search server system might generate the page indexes itself, receive page indexes from another source (e.g., a separate server system), or receive page indexes from another source and perform further processing thereof (e.g., addition or updating of the context identifiers).
In preferred aspects of the present invention, a query processing engine is provided to process queries and decompose queries into constituent units. The query processing engine allows for the system to implement concept discovery and analysis processes as well as context analysis, disambiguation and many other processes that would enhance the quality of results returned to a user in response to a search query. Examples are shown in Kapur V.
C. Concept Networks
In some embodiments, the concepts within a query are advantageously detected by reference to a unit dictionary 172 that contains a list of known concepts (or "units"). Unit dictionary 172 is advantageously generated by a concept discovery process based on some number (preferably a large number, e.g., at least several hundred thousand) of previous queries. Concept discovery involves analysis of the queries to generate a concept network and may be performed by search server 160 or by another server (not shown).
Examples of aspects of a query processing engine including methodologies for processing queries and query logs to generate units, and for generating suggestions based on units, is described in Kapur II. Server 160 processes the units and any statistics received from system 180 and returns results responsive to the user's query to the user along with suggestions and other information. In certain aspects, suggestions are a way to involve users in a continuous dialogue with the search system. Suggestions are hints and tips about what the user might want to explore next based on highly sophisticated understanding of user needs as captured in units and their extensions and associations.
In one aspect, the unit dictionary 310 is advantageously used to generate suggestions to present to the user in addition to, or in lieu of, actual search results. For example, search server 160 or other search intelligence may send a query to a specialized server, e.g., server 180 of
Once a query's categorization to one or more nodes in a taxonomy is known, that information can be used for altering the search process.
As other examples, a topical taxonomy might have categories such as "sports", "movies", etc., and a user intent taxonomy might have categories such as "reviewing", "buying", "looking", "researching", etc. A geographical taxonomy might categorize by jurisdiction (nation, state, city, etc.), languages, cultures, etc. A syntactical taxonomy might categorize based on whether the query is a URL, the format of the query, etc. A navigational taxonomy might be based on where the query is pointing to, such as where a single site satisfies the query.
Taxonomy generator 800 might also use query logs and/or click data to generate a taxonomy.
The matrix approach might also be useful to correlate categories of different taxonomies based on the queries that are actually run. For example, query logs might show that queries categorized in node Ci of taxonomy τ1 also seem to be categorized in node Cj of taxonomy τ2. If τ2 is associated with a particular subdomain or property, then queries categorized in node Ci might be concentrated into that subdomain or property.
In this manner, mappings can be built up semi-automatically. For example, one approach to building up mappings is to take a large number of queries, say 50 million queries (Q1, Q2, Q3, . . . ) and for each query, categorize it in each of the available taxonomies, which could be hundreds of taxonomies. If a query cannot be categorized into a first taxonomy but can be categorized in a second taxonomy and there is a mapping from the query's category in the second taxonomy maps to a category in the first taxonomy, then the query can be categorized into that mapped node.
One method of implementing this matrix approach is to apply a query to two or more taxonomies to find node IDs for the query, then attach as a qualifier to the query some indication of the node IDs. For example, a query might be tested against a topic taxonomy and be categorized into topic=sports-soccer-professional and then tested against a geographic taxonomy and be categorized into geo=U.S.-East Coast-New York-Albany. The modified search query is then input to a search query planner that schedules the modified query. For example, a local search can be done using the node ID of the query's category in the geographic taxonomy. In some categorizations, the query is not located anywhere but is inherently local and external information is used to find the query's category in the geographic taxonomy. For example, the query "hairdresser" might be considered an inherently local query and user demographic information such as the user's zip code could be used to modify the query.
For a given query, the system can determine which subdomains, verticals, properties, etc. are more relevant and focus the search there. Because improved results are possible in some cases when there are multiple taxonomies to consider, it is one advantage to having more than one taxonomy available. In most cases, with complex searches and large volumes of searches, manual generation of taxonomies is not a scalable process. As a result, automatic generation of taxonomies is useful.
In one approach of subdomain-specific searching, the concept networks are used to identify the verticals, subdomains, properties over which to search. For a taxonomy, each node has an associated concept network. For each property, there can be subproperties. Each subproperty might have a concept network for that subproperty. By comparing the concept network for the nodes of a taxonomy with the concept networks for subproperties, the more relevant subproperties can be selected for a query based on that query's node in the taxonomy.
Using more than one taxonomy dimension, if one node is found for those dimensions, then searching can be repeated over for the other dimensions or not. Thus, in a system with four dimensions, such as topic, intent, location, syntactic, a search can be done over less than four dimensions.
One approach to automatically generating taxonomies is through the use of concept networks. A concept network can be represented as a weighted graph, with units comprising concepts and their associated terms being the nodes of the graph and the edges of the graph between nodes representing the closeness of one unit to another. A taxonomy can be generated from such a graph as explained herein.
A given unit can be assigned to a leaf node (or a part of a leaf node) of the taxonomy and branches up the taxonomy can have assigned to them similar units related to the given unit. Higher up in the taxonomy, the relationship to the leaf node decreases, representing broader categories. In one approach, the technique of generating cliques is used to generate taxonomies. Examples of specific apparatus and techniques for generating clusters, cliques, and superunits from a concept network may be found in Kapur III.
In one embodiment, a taxonomy generator finds the cliques corresponding to the given unit and merges them. If no cliques are available, the taxonomy generator searches for some threshold of connected cliques, such as 70% connected cliques, and then groups into clusters.
Thus, a taxonomy generator categorizes the cliques as a first level, then for every next level, might perform the following steps for every next level. For every element of the current level, find the cliques corresponding to the element and merge them into a common cluster for all elements. Then, categorize all elements to the granularity of L levels in the categorization directory. Then, find the most frequent top-level category and show only elements categorized under this category or the original theme.
While the invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, one skilled in the art will recognize that numerous modifications are possible. In some embodiments, queries may be processed as they are received so that concept network data for one or more concept networks is updated substantially in real time. The automated systems and methods described herein may be augmented or supplemented with human review of all or part of the resulting unit dictionary, including the units, relationships, taxonomies and the like.
The embodiments described herein may make reference to web sites, links, and other terminology specific to instances where the World Wide Web (or a subset thereof) serves as the search corpus. It should be understood that the systems and processes described herein can be adapted for use with a different search corpus (such as an electronic database or document repository) and that results may include content as well as links or references to locations where content may be found.
Thus, although the invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, it will be appreciated that the invention is intended to cover all modifications and equivalents within the scope of the following claims.

Stephanotis by Floris
I love this fragrance for its timelessness and sense of free-spiritedness. Stephanotis is supposed to be a bridal floral that signifies constancy, if I remember correctly. Sounds kind of blah but the scent of the flower itself is not; it's both spicy and soapy, very spirited and lively, anything but prim, blushing or even romantic. It's very aromatic as well, very pronounced - again, neither shy nor retiring. Think of it as the bride who can't be bothered with being all fussy and solemn and runs into and out of the church laughing her head off in joy. (Speaking of which - it does bring to mind, in some ways, Patou Joy, itself a touch soapy and spicy.) I have enjoyed wearing this on both casual and more formal occasions, and have gotten many a compliment.
