A thermal ink jet printhead has a flow directing one-way valve for reducing back-flow directed forces generated by the droplet ejecting ink vapor bubbles, so that most of the bubble generated forces are used to eject ink droplets from the printhead nozzles. The one-way valve is provided by patterning the etch resistant mask to form a flap located at a predetermined position along the ink channels between the heating elements and reservoirs, which is activated by bubble generated forces directed in the opposite direction from the printhead nozzles.
1. A thermal ink jet printhead comprising:
a plurality of nozzles;
an ink reservoir;
ink channels, one for each nozzle, for placing the nozzles in fluid communication with the reservoir, the channels having a predetermined internal cross-sectional shape and a lower internal surface;
selectively addressable heating elements, one heating element located in each channel and in a predetermined position relative to the nozzles;
means for selectively addressing the heating elements with an electrical pulse representative of digitized data for generation of ink vapor bubbles, the bubbles generating pressure forces equally directed both toward the nozzles to effect droplet ejection and toward the reservoir; and
a one-way valve located in each channel, each valve being pivotally operative in response to the bubble generated pressure forces directed toward the reservoir to intercept and redirect said pressure forces toward the nozzles, so that the redirected forces increase droplet velocity and improve droplet directionality, wherein the one-way valve is a flap member having a pivotable end and a distal end, the flap member being pivotally mounted about the pivotable end and located on the lower surface of the channels upstream from the heating elements at a location between a position adjacent the heating elements and a position intermediate the heating elements and the reservoir, the distal end having a shape similar to the channel internal cross-sectioned shape and extending in a direction towards the nozzles, so that the bubble generated forces produced by selectively addressed heating elements which are directed toward the reservoir cause the flap member to pivot about the pivotable end and substantially block the pressure forces directed toward the reservoir with the channel shaped distal end of the flap member.
2. The printhead of claim 1 in which the heating elements are located in pits and the distal end of the flap member partially extends over the portion of the pit closer to the reservoirs, so that the bubbles produced by the heating cause the flap member to pivot.
3. The printhead of claim 1 in which the flap member is silicon dioxide having a predetermined thickness, said silicon dioxide flap member being formed from an etch resistant mask layer used to form the etched channel plate.
4. The printhead of claim 1 in which the channels have a triangular shape with an apex spaced above the heater plate and in which the pivotable ends of the flap members are interconnected by relatively narrow segments having the same thickness as the flap member, the flap members and interconnecting segments lying in contact with the thick film layer, so that the pivotable ends of the flap members torsionally pivot about the narrow segments and the distal ends of the flap members, each having a triangular shape similar to the channels, rotate toward the channel apexes.
This invention relates to thermal ink jet printheads for use in an ink jet printer, and more particularly to such printheads having ink flow directing valves to reduce back flow caused by vaporized ink bubbles used to expel ink droplets from printhead nozzles.
In existing thermal ink jet printing, the printhead comprises one or more ink filled channels, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,463,359 to Ayata et al., communicating with a relatively small ink supply chamber at one end and having an opening at the opposite end, referred to as a nozzle. A thermal energy generator, usually a resistor, is located in the channels near the nozzles a predetermined distance therefrom. The resistors are individually addressed with a current pulse to momentarily vaporize the ink and form a bubble which expels an ink droplet. As the bubble grows, the ink bulges from the nozzle and is contained by the surface tension of the ink as a meniscus. As the bubble begins to collapse, the ink still in the channel between the nozzle and bubble starts to move towards the collapsing bubble, causing a volumetric contraction of the ink at the nozzle and resulting in the separation of the bulging ink as a droplet. The acceleration of the ink out of the nozzle while the bubble is growing provides the momentum and velocity of the droplet in a substantially straight line direction towards a recording medium, such as paper.
One problem with this thermal ink jet process is that the bubble growth is symmetrical, thus forcing as much ink towards the supply reservoir in the printhead as is driven out of the channels through the nozzles in the forms of droplets. The droplet velocity of the ejected droplets could be increased, if the pressure force produced by the bubbles were preferentially directed towards the printhead nozzles. This control of the bubble force directions would reduce the required power, improve droplet directionality, decrease the printhead heating during operation, and thus improve printhead energy efficiency.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,072,241 to Shibaike et al. discloses a roofshooter type ink jet printhead having a shutter which either aligns an aperture with the printhead nozzles or covers the printhead nozzles. A series of electrodes on opposite sides of the shutter cause the shutter to move and be electrostatically held in one of the two desired locations.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,530 to Hawkins discloses a thermal ink jet printhead which comprises an upper and a lower substrate that are mated and bonded together with a thick film insulative layer sandwiched therebetween. One surface of the upper substrate has etched therein one or more grooves and a recess which, when mated with the lower substrate, will serve as capillary-filled ink channels and ink supplying manifold, respectively. The grooves are open at one end and closed at the other end. The open ends will serve as the nozzles. The manifold recess is adjacent the groove closed ends. Each channel has a heating element located upstream of the nozzle. The heating elements are selectively addressable by input signals representing digitized data signals to produce ink vapor bubbles. The growth and collapse of the bubbles expel ink droplets from the nozzles and propel them to a recording medium. Recesses patterned in the thick film layer expose the heating elements to the ink, thus placing each of them in a pit, and provide a flow path for the ink from the manifold to the channels through an elongated trench, thereby enabling the ink to flow around the closed ends of the channels. The trench in the thick film layer eliminates the fabrication steps required to open the groove closed ends to the manifold recess, so that the printed fabrication process is simplified.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal ink jet printhead which will operate with reduced power, increased droplet velocity, and improved directionality.
It is another object of the invention to improve droplet ejection efficiency by controlling the droplet ejecting bubble force directions through the aid of ink directing valves in the printhead channels.
In the present invention, the printhead comprises, for example, a heater plate with heating elements and addressing electrodes and a channel plate with nozzles, a reservoir, and interconnecting channels. The heater plate and channel plate are aligned, mated, and bonded together, usually with a patterned thick film layer sandwiched therebetween as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,530, so that the heating elements are located in pits. A valve in the shape of a flap and being of a material, such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, or doped silicon, is formed in the printhead channels during channel fabrication. In one embodiment, a torsional flap is located over the upstream end of the heating element pits, or any other desired location between the heating elements and the ends of the channels adjacent the ink reservoir. In another embodiment, a flap is cantilevered over each end of the channels adjacent the reservoir. In operation, the bubble causes the flap extending over the pits to pivot its distal end towards the channel apex or upper channel portion, so that the flap performs as a one-way valve and substantially blocks the rearward bubble forces and redirects the rearward bubble forces in the opposite direction. The oppositely directed rearward bubble forces become complementary with the forward or droplet ejection direction, thus reducing the droplet ejection force required, and therefore reducing the electrical power for the heating elements.
A more complete understanding of the present invention can be obtained by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like index numerals indicate like parts.

FIG. 8 is similar to FIG. 7, except that it shows another embodiment of the ink flow directing valve.
In FIG. 1, an enlarged, schematic isometric view of a thermal ink jet printhead 10 having ink flow directing valves (see FIG. 2) in the channels thereof is partially shown. The printhead comprises a heater plate 28 having heating elements (not shown in FIG. 1) and addressing electrodes 33 with contact pads 32 formed on surface 30 thereof. A thick film layer 18 of, for example, polyimide, is deposited or laminated over the heating elements and electrodes and patterned to expose the heating elements, placing them in the pits, and to form an ink by-pass trench, better shown in FIG. 2. The channel plate 31 is a silicon substrate photolithographically patterned and anisotropically etched to form a parallel array of channels 20 and reservoir 24, both shown in dashed line. The reservoir is etched through the channel plate and its open bottom serves as an ink inlet 25. One end of the channels is open to produce the printhead nozzles 27, and the other end is adjacent the reservoir and a predetermined distance therefrom. The channel plate 31 is aligned and bonded to the thick film layer, so that each heating element is located in a channel a predetermined distance upstream from the nozzles, and the trench in the thick film layer provides the ink flow path from the reservoir to the channels, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,530 to Hawkins and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
A cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 is taken along view line 2--2 through one channel and shown as FIG. 2 to show how the ink flows from the reservoir 24 and around the end 21 of the groove 20, as depicted by arrow 23, and the flow directing valve 40. Valve 40 comprises a cantilevered finger or flap extending from the surface 22 of the channel plate between the reservoir 24 and the slanted channel end wall 21 for a predetermined distance, generally to a location beyond the edge of the trench 38 in the thick film layer 18. The distal end of the finger has a triangular shape to match the triangular cross-sectional area of the channels. As is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,530 to Hawkins, a plurality of sets of bubble generating heating elements 34 and their addressing electrodes 33 are patterned on one surface of a double side polished (100) silicon wafer (not shown). Prior to patterning the multiple sets of printhead electrodes 33 and the resistive material that serves as the heating elements, the surface of the wafer to contain them is coated with an underglaze layer 39 such as silicon dioxide, having a thickness of about 2 micrometers. The resistive material is a doped polycrystalline silicon which may be deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or any other well known resistive material such as zirconium boride (ZrB2). The addressing electrodes are typically aluminum leads deposited on the underglaze and over the edges of the heating elements. The addressing electrode terminals or contact pads 32 are positioned at predetermined locations to allow clearance for wire bonding to the electrodes (not shown) of the daughter board 19, after the channel plate 31 is attached to make a printhead. The addressing electrodes 33 are deposited to a thickness of 0.5 to 3 μm with the preferred thickness being 1.5 μm.
In the preferred embodiment, polysilicon heating elements are used and a silicon dioxide layer 17 is grown from the polysilicon in high temperature steam. Before electrode passivation, a tantalum layer (not shown) is preferably deposited to a thickness of about 1 μm for protection against cavitational forces generated by the collapsing ink vapor bubbles during printhead operation. A phosphorous doped CVD silicon dioxide film 16 is deposited over the entire wafer surface including the plurality of sets of heating elements and addressing electrodes to a thickness of about 2 μm. The passivation film is etched off of the heating elements already insulated by oxide layer 17 and electrode contact pads to permit wire bonding later to the daughter board electrodes.
Next, a thick film type insulative layer 18, such as, for example, Riston�, Vacrel�, Probimer 52�, or polyimide, is formed on the passivation layer 16 having a thickness of between 10 and 100 micrometers. The insulative layer 18 is photolithographically processed to enable etching and removal of those portions of the layer 18 over each heating element (forming pits 26), the elongated recess or trench 38 for providing ink passage from the reservoir 24 to the ink channels 20, and over the electrode contact pads 32.
As disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,530, the channel plate is formed from a (100) silicon wafer (not shown) to produce a plurality of channel plates 31 for the printhead. After the wafer is chemically cleaned, a silicon nitride or silicon dioxide layer (not shown) is deposited on both sides. Using conventional photolithography, one side of the wafer is photolithographically patterned to form the relatively large rectangular through recesses 24 with open bottoms 25 and sets of elongated, parallel channel recesses that will eventually become the ink reservoirs and channels of the printheads, respectively. The surface 22 of the wafer containing the reservoirs and channel recesses are portions of the original wafer surface (covered by a silicon dioxide or silicon nitride layer in this invention, though generally removed in prior art printheads) on which adhesive will be applied later for bonding it to the substrate containing the plurality of sets of heating elements. As explained later, the ink flow directing valve 40 is formed from the masking silicon dioxide or silicon nitride layers 36 concurrently when the vias therein are formed in the masking layers to prepare the wafer for anisotropic etching. A final dicing cut, which produces end face 29, opens one end of the elongated groove 20 producing nozzles 27. The other ends of the channel groove 20 remain closed by end 21. However, the alignment and bonding of the channel plate to the heater plate places the ends 21 of channels 20 directly over elongated recess 38 in the thick film insulative layer 18 enabling the flow of ink into the channels from the reservoir as depicted by arrows 23.
The channel wafer is preferably fabricated using the single side, two step etching process as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,865,560 to Hawkins and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In this single side, two step process, the etching masks are formed one on top of the other prior to the initiation of etching, with the coarsest mask formed last and used first. Thus, this mask (not shown) would be used for etching the reservoir, because the reservoir requires that the wafer be etched completely therethrough and necessitates a relatively long etch time of two to three hours in an etchant bath of, for example, KOH. Once the coarse orientation dependent etching is completed, the coarse mask is removed and the finer orientation dependent etching is done. In this application, it is the channels which are the finer etched recesses requiring about 20 to 45 minutes in, for example, EDP. When the single side, two step process is used, the first deposited, finer mask 36 is a patterned layer of silicon dioxide and the last deposited, coarser mask is a patterned layer of silicon nitride.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, schematic isometric view of the silicon channel plate 31 as viewed along view line 4--4 of FIG. 2. Surface 22 of the channel plate is covered by the patterned layer 36 of silicon dioxide, a corner of which has been removed to show the bare silicon surface 22. The coarsely etched reservoir 24 extends approximately across the array of parallel channels 20. The flow directing valve 40 is an extended portion or flap of the silicon dioxide layer cantilevered over each closed end of the channels. The surface 22 of the channel plate has the crystalline plane (100) orientation, so that the walls of the channels and reservoir are formed along the {111} crystal planes. The relatively narrow channels have a triangular cross-section with walls which follow the {111} plane at approximately 54.7� with surface 22 and meet at an apex. The width of the channels at the channel plate surface 22 is about 60 μm for a channel spacing of 300 per linear inch. The flow directing valve is formed from the silicon dioxide layer and is isolated from the channels along its length by gaps "a" having a distance of 5 to 10 μm, so that the valve width "b" is about 50 to 40 μm and centered in the channels. The valve length "c" is long enough to extend beyond the edge of the trench 38, so that in the preferred embodiment valve length C is about 80 μm long. The distal end of the valve has a triangular shape to match the triangular cross-section of channels, therefore, enabling the valve 40 to bend towards the apex of the channels without striking the channel walls. Referring also to FIG. 2, the generation of a droplet expelling bubble (not shown) will prevent the pressure forces generated thereby from moving past the flow directing valve, so that most of the forces will be directed towards the nozzles 27. During refill of the channels by capillary action, some of the ink will move around the valve 40 through the gaps on each side, but most of the refill occurs because the valve is flexible and readily bends so that its shaped end pivots toward the channel apex, without significantly impeding its refill time.
FIGS. 3 and 5 are similar to FIGS. 2 and 4, respectively, and depict an alternate embodiment of the flow directing valve. In FIG. 3, the valve 40A is similar in size and shape as valve 40 in FIG. 4, except that it extends from a narrow abridging segment 42 of silicon dioxide layer having the width "d", as shown in FIG. 5, of about 6 to 12 μm. Since the mask is underetched during the anisotropic etching of the channels, the channel under the mask segment 42 is undercut then etched away to provide a clear channel from the closed end 21 to the nozzles 27. This valve 40A could be located anywhere along the channel, but is preferably placed with its distal end extending over the pit 26. In this way, the droplet generating bubble (not shown) will cause the valve 40A to torsionally rotate about the segment 42 with its shaped distal end being rotated towards the channel apex. Thus, most of the bubble force directed towards the reservoir is reflected back towards the nozzles. As soon as the bubble begins to collapse, the valve falls back against the thick film layer that forms the channel floor, so that there is substantially no impedance to the channel refill flow and no influence on the channel refill time.
FIG. 6 is a plan view of a portion of a channel wafer showing the patterning of the flow directing valves 40B from a silicon dioxide layer which have been formed prior to the deposition of the mask layer of silicon nitride which will be used to etch the channels 20 and reservoir 24 shown in dashed line. The dimensions of the valve 40B and the gap "a" are the same as shown in FIG. 4, except that the portion "e" adhering to the wafer surface 22 between the array of channels and the reservoir must be sufficient in length to assure the valve will not become loose during the printhead lifetime. A distance of at least 20 μm or the entire distance between the channels and reservoir must be used.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the heater plate wafer and channel plate wafer of FIG. 6 as seen just prior to mating. Dicing lines 44, 45, 46 indicate where the mated wafers will be cut to form a printhead 10. Instead of patterning the flow directing valve of FIG. 6 from silicon dioxide, a similar valve 40C could be formed in the surface portion of the silicon wafer by being implanted or diffused with boron to a concentration of 2�1016 per μm. This doped layer of silicon could be generated in the required pattern as shown in FIG. 6 or could be later defined from a uniform implantation. FIG. 8 is an alternate embodiment, similar to FIG. 7, except that the flow directing valve 40C is produced by a patterned etch stop, discussed above, produced by a boron implantation. The doped area will not etch even though the end portion residing in the channel is exposed to the anisotropic etchant through the channel vias in the etch resistant mask layer of silicon nitride or silicon dioxide. The mask layer is subsequently removed, leaving the bare silicon surface 22 and the implanted valve 40C.
In summary, a flow directing check valve is provided to reduce ink back flow during the generation of droplet ejecting bubbles by the thermal ink jet printhead. The valve is produced with little or no change to the printhead fabricating process, and the valve greatly increases front bubble generated forces by the one-way valve action which redirects the rearward directed bubble generated forces towards the nozzles, consequently, increasing droplet velocity, so that droplet directionality is also improved. At the same time, the valve has little or no impact on the channel refill time or droplet generation frequency.
Many modifications and variations are apparent from the foregoing description of the invention, and all such modifications and variations are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.

Holiday weekend gives a boost to auto salesBy TOM KRISHER
The Associated Press | December 04,2013AP file Photo
In this Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010 file photo, cars are lined up in a dealership lot in Seattle. Thanksgivings holiday weekend in 2013 was good to U.S. automakers, as sales reports indicate the auto industry is on track to beat strong sales numbers from a year ago.DETROIT The holiday weekend was good to U.S. automakers, as November sales rose 9 percent to beat strong numbers from a year ago.
Sales ran at an annual rate of 16.4 million cars and trucks last month, making it the best rate of the year according to Autodata Corp.
Industry sales in November picked up after Thanksgiving, contributing to the best sales pace of the year, said Bill Fay, Toyota division group vice president and general manager.
Chryslers U.S. sales rose a surprising 16 percent in November, while General Motors posted a 14-percent gain. Nissan sales rose 11 percent, while Toyota was up 10 percent. Ford notched a 7-percent gain and Hyundai sales rose just under 5 percent. Of major automakers, only Volkswagen and Honda reported sales drops. VW brand sales were down 16 percent, while Honda sales were off less than 1 percent.
Kurt McNeil, GMs U.S. sales chief, attributed the strong sales pace to better conditions for consumers.
The economy is creating jobs and household wealth, he said. Energy costs are dropping and credit is available and affordable. All of this bodes well for future growth.
Small crossover SUVs like the new Jeep Cherokee were once again the stars for the month. The crossovers continued to gobble up market share during November, gaining two full percentage points over a year ago to 15.5 percent of U.S. sales, said Erich Merkle, Fords top sales analyst.
The gains came at the expense of small and midsize cars. Midsize cars share of the market fell one point to 14.5 percent, while small cars dropped a point to around 20 percent, Merkle said. Both Ford and GM said competitors offered big discounts on their small and midsize cars and predicted that trend would continue.
The Cherokee notched the rare achievement of sales of more than 10,000 in its first full month on the market.
That is a big number, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of auto sales forecasting for LMC Automotive, an industry consulting firm.
Overall, Chrysler sold just over 142,000 vehicles last month for its best November in six years, up from nearly 123,000 a year ago. Sales of Jeeps rose 30 percent, and the brand had its best November ever.
Both GM and Chrysler reported their best November sales since 2007. GM sales rose to 212,060, up from 186,505.
GM was led by larger vehicles, with its top-selling Chevy Silverado pickup posting a 12-percent gain. The GMC Sierra pickup saw sales rise 23 percent. Large SUVs, like the Chevrolet Tahoe, also had big sales, with the Tahoe up 23 percent. Big cars also were up. The Chevy Impala posted a 20-percent gain, while the Cadillac XTS was up 42 percent.
The double-digit pickup gains were repeated at Ford and Chrysler. Sales of Fords F-Series, the best-selling vehicles in the U.S., rose 16 percent to 65,501. For Chrysler, sales of the Ram pickup increased by 22 percent.
With the success of the Cherokee, Chrysler took advantage of the dramatic shift in the market toward smaller SUVs.
The Cherokees sculpted look annoyed Jeep purists. But Schuster says the styling may have paid off. It sends a signal that the Cherokee, which has been polarizing in the industry, may be appealing to consumers more than critics, he said.
Chrysler delayed Cherokee shipments for several months while engineers tinkered with its new nine-speed automatic transmission to make it shift more smoothly. Dealers didnt have a normal inventory until mid-November, the company said.
David Kelleher, owner of a Chrysler dealership in Glen Mills, Pa., outside Philadelphia, said his dealership sold 21 Cherokees last month. That helped the store reach its best November sales since Kelleher bought it eight years ago.
Ahead of the reports, industry analysts estimated that total U.S. sales rose 3.6 percent to 6.3 percent for November. Thats slower growth than earlier in the year, mainly because sales in November of 2012 were the best in nearly five years. Superstorm Sandy hit in October last year, delaying some East Coast sales until November.
Dealers said sales started slowly, but they did well after Thanksgiving, boosting their monthly totals over November of last year.
Black Friday did give us a lift, said Bill Perkins, president of two Chevrolet dealerships in the Detroit suburbs of Taylor and Eastpointe, Mich.
Normally November is a lackluster month for auto sales. But automakers, particularly Ford and General Motors, offered deals this year that brought out buyers, according to the Kelley Blue Book auto website.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...

I am a 32 year old female and looking for the best treatment for under eye hollows/wrinkles. I went to a derm to discuss fillers. To my surprise, she recommended a lower blepharoplasty instead of fillers. With work, surgery really isn't an option. Is there ANY filler that will treat under eye hollows/wrinkles? If so, is it better to inject them into the cheeks or tear troughs?
Filler Under Eyes VS Lower Blepharoplasty? (photo)
Doctor Answers 12
Promoted Local Answer
Facial Filler vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery for Bags
A common question to lower eyelid area cosmetic improvement. Generally, there are a few options to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids, eye bags, or dark circles. First option includes basic skin care, tretinoin, and/or chemical peels. This nonsurgical method helps improve the skin quality, reduce pigmentary changes, and improves overall appearance of the lower eyelid & cheek areas.
Second more advanced option is an injectable filler or fat to plump up the area. Fillers are made of material that slowly dissolves over time. Facial fillers treatment is performed in the office vial local anesthesia. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane or Belotero, have been used to smooth the lower eyelid area. Facial fillers for lower eyelid area are typically placed in the "valleys" or depressions of the eyelid. Results last several months or year.
The last option, and also the most aggressive, is eyelid plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery of the lower eyelid may remove or reposition fat in the eye bag area, and possible remove some sagging skin. Plastic surgeons typically don't recommend cosmetic eyelid surgery in young patients. However, each patient is unique and circumstances may vary. Age alone is not a determining factor if a person is a cosmetic surgery candidate.
Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty
Based on your photos, I think you would do best with a blepharoplasty. It will give you a better result and ultimately be more cost effective. Find a surgeon who will do a fat transferring technique which will transpose fat into your tear trough. Hope this helps.
Steven Covici, MD
Fillers NO byVillar
A thorough physical examination (touch and feel) is essential to determine the appropriate technique suited for each individual patient. Poorly lit photos will generate a lot of bad advice. Do not waste your time with fillers. It is always better to do the best procedure that deals with the problem and get it right the first time.
In skilled hands you could reasonably return to work in one week. Full unrestricted activity is typically at three weeks. Best wishes. Knowledge is power. Luis F. Villar MD FACS

Filler Under Eyes vs Lower Blepharoplasty
The cheek begins to drop and the smooth fat under the skin begins to thin with age. Restoring volume to the cheek area is a good way to rejuvenate the upper face.
Sculptra is a filler which promotes new collagen to form, and lasts longer than gel fillers. I have seen gel fillers cause puffiness in the under eye area, so I recommend being conservative around the eyes with gel fillers.
Fillers vs fat repositioning
Both fillers to the tear trough/cheek and lower lid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning are valid options. If taking 1-2 weeks off from work is not an option for you, then fillers are the way to go. Juvederm, Restylane, or Boletero can be used in this area. A combination of injection to the tear trough and the upper cheek would give you the best outcome.
Surgery vs filler
Both a lower eyelid surgery and fillers could be helpful in improving the appearance of your lower eyelids. The fillers, such as Restylane or Belotero are temporary lasting 6 months to a year. Filler injections to the tear trough area and along the orbital rim would soften the appearance of hollowness around your eyes. A lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty would be helpful to smooth the eyelid "bags" or fat that is appears to be protruding in the lower eyelid area. This can be done through an incision inside your eyelid with around 1-2 weeks of downtime from work. Choosing the "best" procedure for you depends on many factors including your personal goals as well your current lifestyle and work limitations. If now is not the time for surgery, then fillers are a great temporary option that would provide a nice improvement until your ready for surgery.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty or Fillers
Web reference: http://www.bitarinstitute.com/eyelid-lift/
Both filler and lower blepharoplasty are reasonable options to improve your lower eyelids
Both filler and lower blepharoplasty are reasonable options to improve your lower eyelids. Surgery will require about 7 days of downtime to recover from any swelling or bruising but will give you a long-term improvement in the lower eyelid bags. Filler, on the other hand, has minimal downtime (any bruising can be covered up immediately with makeup) but is temporary lasting from 6-12 months. Both options will work well for you. I hope this information is helpful.
Stephen Weber MD, FACS
Web reference: http://weberfacialplasticsurgery.com/facial-dermal-fillers/
Best procedure for lower lid bags
If you want something more permanent, then a surgical lower lid blepharoplasty would be best approaching this from inside the eyelid with the bag transposed over the orbital rim. If you're okay with temporary treatments, you can consider filler in the troughs. As an alternative, you could consider fat grafting if you're willing to accept the risks of fat grafting. The answer all depends on what you are wanting to do and what costs and risks you are willing to accept.

What do you think :?
anyone try it yet?The GNOME 2.4 Desktop & Developer Platform is the latest release of the popular, multi-platform free desktop environment. GNOME 2.4 includes 11 new applications and more than 100 user-requested enhancements. You can use a script like Garnome, CVSGnome or (if on Slackware) Dropline to build. Update: Ximian releases beta of its upcoming Ximian Desktop 3 product, currently losely based on Gnome 2.4, but targeting 2.6 for its final release.
What do you think :?
well, I hope to install it soon. I have someone grabbing the source for me. I have the list of which to build first, so I guess I could try to script it or something.
2.4 has a bunch of features that I want bad ...
There isnt so much changes, unfortunatly Autodirection (for hebrew Bi-Di), still isnt exist in GTK/Pango, altough it's were promised..
Im using it now, quite good, lot's of imprrovments, still not like Gnome 1.4

Which Desktop Environment (KDE, Gnome, etc) is best for Semetic languages? I ask simply because my course of study will eventually mean that I must learn ancient Hebrew (plus, I might be dabbling with Arabic soon, too). I would like to lower my frustration level before it gets a chance to reach boiling point!
Both GNOME and KDE have good i18n support - I would go with GNOME, since that's my personal favorite, but use what you like.
What are some of the new features?
[quote author=CP link=board=6;threadid=7713;start=0#msg70792 date=1063867358]
What are some of the new features?
My personally favorite besides lower ressource requirements and more speed.
A frontend for xrandr so you can now set your resolution and refresh rate without restarting X, in a pleasant manner.
GNOME now also includes the Bitstream Vera fonts, a default browser (Epiphany), the gnome-panel has been rewritten to be more consistent. And all round more compatiblity with the HIG (a good thing). We also have a new PDF viewer now, since ggv never did the job correctly. The calculator has been replaced. Gnome-xBill was removed, and a few new games were added instead.
Sounds good, I'd noticed that I could now change the resolution etc, but hadn't looked much further than that.
Well I've upgraded to Dropline Gnome 2.4 and I'm not at all impressed. It was working fine until I had to reboot. So I rebooted and now whenever I download or copy a file into my home directory Nautilus, which isn't even running, crashes, then all of a sudden it pops up. My xmms theme was gone, my Gnome theme was gone and all my KDE menus have dissappeared. Not very happy about this.

Aden L. Crowell, 91, of Center Road, Middlesex, passed away peacefully following several years of declining health at the Berlin Health and Rehabilitation Center on Saturday, October 1, 2011. Born in Hyde Park on March 23, 1920, he was the son of the late Logan A. and Artie M. (Cowan) Crowell. On June 14, 1952, he married the former Betty L. Cargill in Middlesex.
Aden attended schools in Stowe and Middlesex. In 1941, he moved to Norwich, CT, where he was employed in manufacturing.

Returning to Vermont, he worked as a mechanic for a Ford dealership in Barre until 1949, returned to CT and worked in the textile industry for several years and then began a 23-year career at Walker Motors in Montpelier as a mechanic, retiring in March 1976.
Aden was well known for his devoted hobby of restoring Kaiser-Frazer automobiles and took great pleasure in attending antique car shows where he won a number of trophies in Vermont and New Hampshire. He took great pride in caring for his home, lawn and garden. His memberships included the D.A.V, the Brown-Johnson VFW Post 792 of Montpelier, the Kaiser-Frazer Owner's Club International, the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts, the "251" Club and the Middlesex Historical Society. His helpful, friendly manner endeared him to his many friends and neighbors. He will be missed by all who were privileged to know him. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Berlin Health and Rehabilitation Center for the care, comfort and kindness extended to Aden and the entire family.
Aden is survived by his wife of 59 years, Betty Crowell of Middlesex; their son, Henry A. Crowell and his wife Susan Crowell of Columbus, OH; three grandchildren, Jennifer Crowell of Seattle, WA, Christopher Crowell and Katherine Crowell both of Columbus, OH; two sisters, Beverly Azur of Montpelier and Ernestine Moreau of Uncasville, CT; his close friend and fellow car enthusiast, Bob Guinn of Barre; a special cousin, Jeannette Howe of Chester; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. Aden was predeceased by four sisters, Emeroy Merchant, Madeline LaRose, Virginia Chornoby and Madine Merchant; and three brothers, Wayland "Jack" Crowell, Richard Crowell and Robert Crowell.
Funeral services will be held from the Middlesex United Methodist Church on Saturday, October 8, 2011, at noon with a reception to follow in the church dining room.

In between, Franchi threw a four-hitter at Lewis & Clark on April. 4, as the 'Cats beat the Pioneers, 5-1. She helped the Bearcats go 6-0 during the week to improve to 21-2 on the season.
Franchi achieved a 0.39 earned run average during the week. She limited WU's opponents to a .069 batting average in her three appearances.
For the season, Franchi is 11-1 with a 1.09 ERA. She has struck out 117 batters in 77 innings pitched. She is WU's career strikeout leader with 518 strikeouts.
Willamette is ranked #11 in the NCAA Division III Top 25 released by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) on April 8. The Bearcats will host the University of Puget Sound at the WU Softball Field on Friday, April 10, with the doubleheader starting at 2 p.m. (PDT).

Brendan Rodgers has made one change to his Liverpool line-up for tonight's Barclays Premier League clash with Crystal Palace – Daniel Sturridge replaces Philippe Coutinho at Selhurst Park.
The striker returned from injury as a substitute during the Reds' 2-0 defeat by Chelsea eight days ago and is now included from the start, with his Brazilian teammate dropping to the bench.
Otherwise, the Northern Irishman retains faith with the same selection as in each of the past two matches; Victor Moses is eligible to re-join the squad after missing the tie with his parent club.
Midfielder Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, completes his three-game suspension this evening.
Rodgers' side can reclaim top spot in the Premier League from Manchester City with either a victory or a draw against the Eagles, ahead of the final weekend of the season.
Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Flanagan, Skrtel, Sakho, Johnson, Gerrard, Allen, Lucas, Sterling, Sturridge, Suarez.
Substitutes: Jones, Toure, Agger, Coutinho, Aspas, Moses, Cissokho.

MODESTO - A 36-year-old Modesto man did not survive when he crashed his Pontiac GTO into a retaining wall and was ejected, according to Modesto police.
The crash was on eastbound W. Briggsmore Avenue just east of Prescott Road at approximately 9:48 p.m. Despite emergency responders efforts to get the driver to a local hospital immediately, he did not survive, said Officer Scott Nelson.
Police were told by several witnesses just prior to the collision that the 2004 GTO may have racing with a white or silver BMW sedan. Nelson said the BMW's driver may not have realized there was a collision and did not stop.
Anyone with information or witnesses to this collision was encouraged to contact Nelson at (209) 652-2160. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward. Tipsters can also text information to Crime Stoppers by sending a text message to 274637. Type "TIP704" along with your message.

AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn's Brandon Cox and Alabama's John Parker Wilson have alternately thrilled and exasperated.The two quarterbacks have coolly led game-winning drives, gamely risen from countless hits and won big games. Then there's the flip side: misfires, interceptions and assorted mistakes that have made both the targets of boos and criticism. All that makes for one of the more tantalizing mysteries leading up to Saturday's Iron Bowl at No. 25 Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium. Which Wilson will show up? Which Cox? Teammates and coaches have spent the week leading up to the game on the defensive about their quarterbacks. 'We have confidence in John Parker,' Crimson Tide linebacker Darren Mustin said. 'Everybody has bad games. He's my quarterback. I've got his back.' Auburn tailback Ben Tate offered a similar sentiment on Cox. He points to dropped balls, missed blocks and other miscues that have affected Cox's production. 'Everybody's always down on the quarterback when things aren't always going right, but it's not always the quarterback's fault,' Tate said. 'Everybody has seen what he can do. He has won plenty of games with last-minute drives. I always have confidence in him.' Sometimes it doesn't seem quite warranted. Cox was intercepted four times for the Tigers (7-4, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) in their last outing at No. 6 Georgia two weeks ago. He's also the guy who has led Auburn on scoring drives to take the lead five times in the final 4 minutes of games this season, including winning drives at Florida and Arkansas. 'He's had four or five drives at the end of the game this year that were picture perfect,' Tigers coach Tommy Tuberville said. 'He's got experience. He understands how to prepare for a game like this one. He's played in this one before, and he likes this game. 'I like a quarterback like Brandon going into this game. He doesn't get rattled, doesn't get shook. He can take a lick and get back up and make a big play the next play. I'm looking forward to him playing this game.' Wilson has been frequently off-target for the Tide (6-5, 4-3) in the Tide's last three games, all losses. He has been intercepted five times in those games and had a costly fumble in the final minutes against No. 1 LSU. He's also the guy who picked Tennessee's secondary apart for 363 yards and three touchdowns and threw the game-winning touchdown pass against Arkansas. Alabama coach Nick Saban said Wilson prepared like a coach before last week's Louisiana-Monroe game, spending late nights studying film. He appreciated the effort, which led to better numbers despite the two picks, one of them off a deflected ball. 'I have a lot better feeling about working with guys that really want to be good and are trying to be good and doing the right things than if they don't care about it,' Saban said. Wilson said the extra preparation helped, staying in the film room as late as 11 p.m. then going home and doing more work. He said making smart decisions doesn't mean being overly cautious. 'You have to be conscious of the mistakes you've made, but you can't go out there and not throw a ball because you might get it picked,' he said. 'You have to understand what you're seeing and understand what the defense is doing and you have to protect the ball. That's the No. 1 goal.'

Product description
Roman Dress and the Fabrics of Roman Culture investigates the social symbolism and cultural poetics of dress in the ancient Roman world in the period from 200 BCE-400 CE. Editors Jonathan Edmondson and Alison Keith and the contributors to this volume explore the diffusion of Roman dress protocols at Rome and in the Roman imperial context by looking at Rome's North African provinces in particular, a focus that previous studies have overlooked or dealt with only in passing. Another unique aspect of this collection is that it goes beyond the male elite to address a wider spectrum of Roman society. Chapters deal with such topics as masculine attire, strategies for self-expression for Roman women within a dress code prescribed by a patriarchal culture, and the complex dynamics of dress in imperial Roman culture, both literary and artistic. This volume further investigates the literary, legal, and iconographic evidence to provide anthropologically-informed readings of Roman clothing. This collection of original essays employs a range of methodological approaches - historical, literary critical, philological, art historical, sociological and anthropological - to offer a thorough discussion of one of the most central issues in Roman culture.

Review quote
'Those entering the field of Roman clothing studies will find this concise survey very useful ... Illustrating the various threads of current investigation into Roman clothing, these intriguing essays show that understanding the symbolism of Roman clothing is essential in recovering the Romans' way of thinking about themselves and the "others" of their empire. -- Judith Lynn Sebesta Mouseion: Journal of the Classical Association of Canada

By Staff Sgt. Alicia K. BorlikAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 1998 A nontaxable overseas housing allowance replaces service members' basic allowance for quarters and separate overseas housing allowance Jan. 1.
Most service members will see no change in the amount they receive, said Army Col. Steve Westbrook, director of DoD's Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. "We will still be paying people overseas what their housing expenses are," he said.
Westbrook said members' basic allowances for quarters and overseas housing allowances are being rolled into one entry on leave and earnings statements. The total monthly payment will appear on statements as "OHA" -- overseas housing allowance, he said.
Under the current overseas system, a member's total housing compensation is computed using the amount the member pays for rent, not exceeding a rent ceiling, plus a fixed locality-based utility allowance. The amount is then split into two parts on pay statements -- the member's basic quarters allowance (a fixed amount based on rank and family status) and any difference, paid as overseas housing allowance.
What's happening, Westbrook said, is similar to the Jan. 1, 1998, merger of stateside basic and variable housing allowances. DoD changed the way stateside housing allowances are computed because the basic allowance for quarters was tied to cost-of- living raises and not keeping up with members' actual housing expenses.
"We're trying to design a housing compensation system flexible enough to make up for the difference [in housing costs overseas] -- whatever it takes to get people into adequate housing overseas," Westbrook said.
Because adequate housing overseas is sometimes hard to find, he said, the overseas allowance system helps ensure service members can obtain quality housing without incurring out-of-pocket costs. Rental ceilings, based on members' ranks, family status and locale, are based on actual rents reported to finance centers. Overseas housing allowances are updated biweekly based on reviews of cost data and currency fluctuations, he said.
The overseas housing system is set up to pay service members exactly what they pay for housing and utilities -- no more, no less --but it doesn't always work that way, Westbrook said. Some members overseas net a little extra in their paychecks because their fixed basic quarters allowance is more than their rent.
Those now pocketing the extra will be grandfathered for the remainder of their current rental agreements or their tours, whichever comes first, he said. The exception was made for fairness: "They made a conscious housing decision [but it was] based on the rules [at the time]," he noted.
Service members who enter rental arrangements after Jan. 1, however, receive only their actual rent plus a utilities allowance.
"We're trying to get people into adequate housing, not give them a monetary incentive to live in cheap housing," Westbrook said."
DoD posts overseas housing allowance rates on the Internet at http://www.dtic.mil/perdiem.

operations who demand the highest quality. KOLD-DRAFT equipment makes pure ice cubes in three sizes and crushed ice in two sizes as well as crushed ice to fill any need for hotels, restaurants, bars, hospitals, and other institutions.
KOLD-DRAFT features a wide range of commercial ice machines and bins capable of producing from 300 to 2,400 pounds of pure ice per day. Each ice system can be configured to produce full cubes, or half cubes.
