Color Difference
Just FTY I loved the jacket, but the black color was a more like a grey color if that matters. I think it runs true to size I wear a S in Patagonia jackets and I ordered a S in this jacket and it fit.
Great jacket!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
I've been out 4 times now in this jacket, including an 18" powder day, and am in love. It's was great on the warm days with just a light fleece under it. And it was even better when the temps dropped and the wind picked up. I didn't think I would use the hood much, but I was so happy to have it on a snowy windy day. The powder skirt on this jacket is also the k my one I've ever had that's worth using. It actually stays out and doesn't ride up as soon as you start moving. I highly recommend this jacket. You'll love it.
Go to shell for deep days/backcountry
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: medium
I love this shell so much I have it in 5 different colors. It's lightweight, but still burly, the colors are great, and the fit is great. The sleeves with princess hem on the cuffs are awesome easily adjustable for a great fit over gloves. good pockets, and keeps you dry on deep days . I would say runs overall true to size, except tight in the chest area
Shell To Thin For Longer Expeditions
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: medium
This shell would be great for light snow or rain days. I was looking for something more substantial. Pockets are small and few. Fits great though with plenty of room for layers. Covers half way down your butt and doesn't expose possible skin when you bend over. The blue color is really pretty.
I use it everywhere

I actually purchased the jacket for skiing but since the zipper of my old hiking hardshell has given in, I am now using it as my year round waterproof shell.
I own quite a lot of Norrona stuff and with pretty much all of their gear, it is of very high quality and it looks realy awesome too.
There are a couple of things that Norrona could improve. E.g. the inner pockets are so tiny, that you can't even fit a small phone in there. At best it fits a small mp3 player. I also wished the jacket would have dual zippers.
Another part that is not working well for me is the snow skirt. I used the jacket with its compatible pants but when attaching the snow skirt to the pants the whole setup was uncomfortable (could be my body shape). At the end I removed the snow skirt even when skiing and rather used the draw cord. Last but not least, I wished the hand gaitors would be removable. I don't find them practical. You either need real gloves or you don't.
no hand pockets
I love the fit of Norona - small shoulders and large chest in a size S that works better than other brands for me - but this jacket has no hand/hip pockets (the only pockets are at the chest despite what the description states); and that's a bit hard to take at this price point. So I don't know how that should change the star rating?
Please let the buyers know that there are several of us who would very, very much like the caviar with the contrasting zippers!
Hey Heidi!
We loved the Caviar color too! Unfortunately it was a fall 2014 color and Norrona doesn't make it anymore. Our buyers and employees are really trying to have them bring the color back for the fall/winter collection in 2016. Fingers crossed!!
This jacket is a shell. Is it warm enough on very cold days, on the ski lift, heavy winds?
That's dependent on how much you're wearing underneath it. It'll keep wind and water out, but it won't keep you warm by itself. You'll have to layer properly for the conditions.
Will you be getting more of the Caviar color in stock!?
We have several ordered in the new season colors (Cool Black, Ice Blue, Jungle Fever/Ice Blue) but our buyers have not reordered the Caviar at the time of writing this message. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Let me know if you have any other questions-- I'd be glad to help.

Does the hood fit over a ski helmet?
Hi there,
Yes it does offer a helmet-compatible hood!
Stylin' Jacket
This jacket is great for skiing/snowboarding. Looks great with lots of functionality! Very Euro.
Best for running/biking/skiing in WI
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
This jacket is amazing! I live in WI and the weather here is cold, really, really cold. I actually use this jacket to bike to work in the winter. Crazy yes, but not with the proper clothing and this jacket is it! I have biked in temps of 0 with with winds 25mph, but did I feel it, no! I even stopped wearing a hat with this windproof hood. It is that good!
So what am I wearing underneath? If the temp is below 20degrees I wear a lightweight smartwool and a mid weight smart wool with a zip up neck. Above 20 degrees only a lighter weight smart wool or icebreaker top. Thats it. This jacket breathes, it is so light, I seriously didn't think it could possibly block the wind/cold for me, but it exceeds my wildest expectations. I have also taken in running outside in 15 degrees and found it to be the perfect jacket for this also. We have also gone skiing together, for this I wear a primo mid -layer since skiing for me is pretty easy/ effortless and I needed a little more warmth since I wasn't working as hard. Almost forgot I have been rained on. Hard. But was I dry....yes!
I also love the long cut on the arms, torso. I am all torso and not once did I catch myself yanking down on the coat or sleeves. I can also raise my arms with no movement of the jacket upwards...as in exposed stomach or crinkled shoulders! The snap seal is honestly the best I have tried. It is so sticky, no snow up my back or any yanking up while backcountry skiing.
Downside for me: I purchased the yellow version since I like to stand out in urban traffic biking and it stains really easy and does not come out. I thought about switching to black but prefer to be a beacon on the roads.
I would like to comment on my prior review: This is the best jacket I have found to protect me from the elements however it washes/ wears horribly. I exchanged my first one after a first wash due to discoloration. My second one is receiving its second wash now and it looks horrible. I have the yellow color. I will try to post a pic later but I cannot emphasize enough how terrible this coat wears/washes. I have blue splotches all over. I think it is the back fabric showing through. YUCK. One star.
Would like to add take a chance on this jacket, maybe I just had a bad one. Backcountry has really gone out of their way to work with me. A++ for service.
Yeah found one that finally fits!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times

- Size Bought: Medium
I purchased this after ordering at least three other jackets from various places. Nothing fit right. They were either too tight around the butt or too boxy in the middle. I was between a Medium and a Large in the Marmot, Mtn Hardwear, Fly Low, Mammut and the Patagonia...they just were off by a little in the fit.
Ordered a Medium in this jacket and it fit PERFECT :) - I am 5'5" 155, athletic build with broader shoulders. Not too boxy but not to form fitting either.
Skied 4 days in Utah with it last week and couldn't of been happier. Great pocket access w/ a pack on. Layered w/ down puffy jacket on colder days and fit was perfect. Hood goes over helmet (Smith Variant) just fine.
Very pleased with purchase and if we ever get some decent snow in Tahoe I will be wearing it soon there.
Color was great and kids could find me easily on the hill.
Quality was good and liked the wrist cuff extensions.
just a color question... is magma more orange or red? just can't tell on my screen... thx!
It's orange!
I wear at Large in the Patagonia Triolet and a Large in the Marmot Alpinist (feels a bit boxy) ...would a large be the call for this? I want room for a puffy underneath but don't want it to be huge. Problem is the top shoulder cut- the smaller jackets on the ones above didn't have shoulder room. Any answers - Thank you!
Hamming it up
I've got a HUGE puffy jammed on underneath this jacket because it was SO frigid.
It's pretty roomy for me - see sizing info below.
I'm debating between the Lofoten gtx pro and the lyngen driflex 3
What does the jacket feel like. I don't really want a crinkly rustling shell.
Mine is a little crinkly but oddly super soft. I really like the texture.
What size is your jacket Lexi? Trying to decide on a medium or Large. I wear a Medium in a Patagonia down sweater jacket but a large in any of their shells like the triolet...
I don't want it too big but want a few layers/puffy underneath on cold days. Thanks
Hello Nswanson.
I am in a size Small.
See my review below for further fit info.
Tweaked Fit
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I had a Lofoten shell from 3 years ago, Norrona has changed the fit a bit.
The shape of this jacket is significantly more hourglass now. The jacket flares out quite dramatically beneath the breast. I personally did not love this cut (I prefer a straighter cut) but I know women who do appreciate this more tailored look.
I am 5'3" and 120 lbs and the small fits nicely with room to layer up underneath on cold days - even with a HUGE puffy. I hypothesize I could get away with the size XS, but I appreciate the extra wiggle room the size S affords.
Construction, in true Norrona style, is totally bombproof. My last shell lasted over 200 days on the hill and backcountry touring.
The ample pit zips provide huge opportunity for venting and are easy to reach and use - zipping action is very smooth.
The feature I like MOST about this jacket are the very wide, princess style cuffs.
They are fairly easy to wrestle over the gaiters of my mittens and I like that the cuff extends so far over the back of the palm. I do not like, however, that Norrona used two separate patches of velcro to secure the sleeve strap. I find that the EXACT place where I need to affix the velcro is the zone where Noronna did not put velcro. This doesn't make sense in my mind....not sure what they were going for there, maybe weight savings? It's a little silly if you ask me.
The wrist gaiters are a nice feature - I prefer not to use them as I dislike the texture. I love that the powder skirt is removable. The silicone grip on that thing is SUPER sticky. It really helps to keep the jacket in place - I don't need it because I use bibs, but this is a really well-designed powder skirt.
All in all a very durable, stormproof option for someone who logs tons of days on the mountain. Norrona is a brand I trust to get me through the nastiest storms.
How are you laundering your jacket? Any issue with stains?
Hey Kathleen! I haven't laundered mine yet, but if I did I would treat it with NikWax Tech Wash and TX Direct
What pants are you wearing? I'm looking for pants and a jacket.
I'm actually wearing bibs, which I love, because they are a bit warmer and comfier than pants and you never have to worry about snow getting down your bum. These pants are my absolute favorite of any ski pant we carry here on BC. My last pair was still in great shape over 100 days on the hill, I could have easily kept using them for another 100, so though the price tag is a little higher, they will last you multiple years.
Hi, is the hood removable ?
No this has a fixed hood!
where is this made?
The tag on mine says:
"Manufactured in China"
What a Deal
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought this jacket for my wife after I bought the same one in blue for myself(Got it in the outlet for almost half off the original price). Besides Haglof these guys are the best of the best in Winter gear. I did a ton of research before I shelled out the big $$$ for these products and Norrona does not disappoint. If your gonna shell out this kind of money for the jacket you def. need to get the matching pants, it fits perfectly together and with the zip seal system you'll never get snow in your booty again:)

Pneumococcal meningitis is a life-threatening disease characterized by an acute purulent infection affecting the pia mater, the arachnoid, and the subarachnoid spaces. Streptococcus pneumoniae crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by both transcellular traversal and disruption of the intraepithelial tight junctions to allow intercellular traversal. During multiplication, pneumococci release their bacterial products, which are highly immunogenic and may lead to an increased inflammatory response in the host. Thus, these compounds are recognized by antigen-presenting cells through the binding of toll-like receptors. These receptors induce the activation of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), which interacts with various protein kinases, including IL-1 receptor-associated kinase-4 (IRAK4), which is phosphorylated and dissociated from MyD88. These products also interact with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 dependent signaling pathway (TRAF6). This cascade provides a link to NF-B-inducing kinase, resulting in the nuclear translocation of NF-B leading to the production of cytokines, chemokines, and other proinflammatory molecules in response to bacterial stimuli. Consequently, polymorphonuclear cells are attracted from the bloodstream and then activated, releasing large amounts of NO•, O 2 •, and H 2O2. This formation generates oxidative and nitrosative stress, subsequently, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial damage, and BBB breakdown, which contributes to cell injury during pneumococcal meningitis. © 2013 Tatiana Barichello et al.

The rhizosphere is a nutrient-rich soil region with important levels of microbial activity. In this zone, plants and some microorganisms such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) mutually interact for their benefit. These bacteria use one or several mechanisms to favor plants: either stimulating nutrients absorption or avoiding the action of pathogenic microorganisms. The activity of the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase is a strategy that some PGPR use to promote plant growth under specific environmental stress. This enzymatic activity provides two important advantages for plants: reducing ethylene concentration in the plant, and increasing ammonium availability at the rhizosphere. In this way, the activity of the ACC deaminase improves plant nutrition and resistance to stress factors. ACC deaminase-containing PGRP can be used to improve agricultural systems under arid and salt conditions, and at polluted environments with heavy metals. This review examined the basic aspects of the interaction between the PGPR and the plant and the ACC deaminase action mechanism. A compilation of the reported PGPR species and their application in agricultural and bioremediation is also presented.

Insurance lawyer Randy Maniloff of White and Williams (and the Coverage Opinions newsletter) posts his yearly list of 10 cases where "head-shaking and eye-rolling behavior... causes injury" and then lawsuits. Some highlights:
Sciolla v. West Bend (PA): "The Eastern District of Pennsylvania" [federal court] held that "unresolved issues" prevented the judges from a speedy summary judgement of whether a general liability insurer ought to cover 'bodily injury sustained by teachers when they were thrown off their donkeys while playing Donkey Ball in a middle school." It wasn't clear to the judges whether the teachers were playing the game (and thus, maybe, covered) or just riding donkeys for the heck of it (and therefore not covered.)
Colon v. Liberty Mutual (NJ): "Insured bit a police officer upon being stopped in her automobile," and gave her name as "Beyonce Knowles." She wasn't. An appeals court found this "did not preclude coverage for damages" suffered by the cop, from the biter's homeowner's policy, even with an automobile exclusion.
Hay vs. Georgia Farm Bureau Mutual: An appeals court found a homeowners' policy's auto exclusion "precluded coverage for injury caused when an insured used his pickup truck and a pullye in an attempt to lift a portable toilet onto a deer stand."
Farmers Automobile v. Danner (Ill.): "No coverage was owed to an insured, under a homeowners' policy, for damages he allegedly caused" when he ran his vehicle into a man and beat him with a golf club until it broke, all for having "entered the insured's property to retrieve a baseball accidentally hit there by the victim's son."
Physicians' Insurance Co. of Wisconsin v. Williams: "The Supreme Court of Nevada held that no coverage was owed to a dentist, under a professional liability policy, for a claim that he used street cocaine to anesthetize a patient's gums during a root canal procedure." Wow.

Staff of the Isanti County Sheriff's Office and the Isanti County Jail do their best to adapt to trends among the types of crimes committed in the county and in the needs of the inmates who enter the jail to pay for those crimes.
Isanti County Sheriff Chris Caulk and Isanti County Jail Administrator Dennis Valentyn say that in recent years the jail has seen increases in the number of drug offenders who come through the jail, in the number of people from outside the county who come through the jail and in the number of inmates who come to the jail with physical or mental health needs that jail staff must help meet when no one else can.
Isanti County jail inmate data for Jan. 20, 2017, shows 61 people in custody on that date. Thirty-one of those inmates were Isanti County residents, and 30 were out-of-county residents, roughly an even split. Including other county holds, there were 211 charges between all in custody on that date. Forty-nine of those charges were drug charges, slightly less than a quarter of the total.
The jail can technically hold 108 to 112 people at a time, depending on whether you count holding cells, Valentyn said. But 34 of the jail's beds are minimum security beds, which lowers the number of inmates who can be effectively held at a time. There are 35 main jail beds, and 36 direct supervision beds.
When the total is broken down, 70 to 80 inmates at a time is "packed," Valentyn and Caulk agreed.
Valentyn has watched the Isanti County Jail increase in size and seen offender trends shift during his years on the job.
"When I first started, we housed up to 38, and it was mostly your local DUIs and domestics," he said.
The total number of inmates who passed through the jail in 2016 was 1,619, an increase of 113 inmates over 2015. Increases and decreases of 100 or more in the total inmate population from year to year are not uncommon since 2008, the first year for which total population data is available. The highest yearly population count in the available data is 2008's, with 1,793 inmates for the year. The lowest yearly population in the available data is 1,341 in 2010.
The sheriff's office and jail staff adapt their treatment of inmates to accommodate the correctional needs they come in with.
Due to the high numbers of people who come into jails with mental health care needs, there are more inmates who ultimately don't belong in a traditional jail, but who would be better served in a hospital or other type of institutional setting, Caulk and Valentyn said. They said this is a trend at the state and national level. One way they and their staff have adapted to this situation is by bringing in a mental health professional for weekly visits. Inmates can request to see this professional or they can be put on a list by jail staff.
Inmates with physical care needs have increased over time as well, and a contracted doctor visits the jail on a weekly basis too. Valentyn said the medical contract is expensive, but that it is money well spent. Extradition for offenders from other counties or regions is also sometimes necessary. All of these factors affect the budget and staffing of the sheriff's department and make things a little less predictable for them.
With increased numbers of drug cases, the jail has made in-house drug rehab services available through partnership with Teen Focus, a recovery center in Rush City.
"We've had very good numbers," Valentyn said of the program. "We've had up to 11 males in the program at any given time."
The number of females in the program fluctuates, tending to be much lower than the number of males because the number females in the general jail population at any given time tends to be much lower than the number of males. On Jan. 20, there were 51 male inmates and 10 female.
Although Caulk said he recognizes that the people who come through the jail have a debt to society they need to pay, he and his staff still must take into account the variety of experiences those people have and will have. There are some who will be in and out of correctional facilities repeatedly and some who will be there once and never again.
The goal Caulk keeps in mind is to increase the number of people who fall into the second category.
"At the end of the day if we can get these folks not to come back (through) the front door, we've succeeded," he said.

In the last few weeks, many actors backed out unwilling to take on 'Aagadu' or 'GAV', but actor Gopichand took a big gamble to release his film "Loukyam" (a week before GAV) and sprung a big surprise. He took on the bigger star Ram Charan and drew steady collections for his 'roaring entertainer'.
"It is expected garner more than 21 crores and it is the biggest hit in Gopichand's career. Surely, his gamble to draw holiday crowds paid off" says a distributor. True to that, the aggressive star Gopichand has erased the bad memories of his duds like "Mogudu" and "Sahasam" and finally re-established that he is a bankable star by achieving a new record in his career.

For over 20 years, John's Carpet House has put on weekly free jam sessions, that bring all sorts of people together to enjoy good music. But for the past year, the city of Detroit has been trying to shut it down with various violations, including excessive noise and not having a license to operate the free event.
John's Carpet House began as nothing more than a juke joint, in a small wooden shed that had the ceiling and walls covered in carpet for insulation and acoustics. It was built by John Estes, who was a drummer that just wanted to share his love of the blues with everyone else. When John passed away, Albert "Big Pete" Barrow took over keeping the weekly sessions alive in a field across from where John's house originally sat. The city had made Barrow purchase the land previously, making it private property as well.
Barrow, who has had to start a GoFundMe page in order to combat the rising costs of the tickets the city continues to hand out, says "there is no reason for the city to do what they're doing to us."
The jam sessions are set to start May 3, but the city is still fighting to shut it down. Mayor Mike Duggan's chief of staff says that Barrow has to follow the rules, which means getting the permits and licenses needed for events.

A Set of Five Shibori Kimono Pieces: Indigo Dyed Cotton
mid twentieth century
each approximately: 48" x 6", 122 cm x 5.25 cm
Shown here are five, narrow lengths of indigo dyed cotton shibori, each piece of cloth being taken from the collar, or eri, section of a yukata, which is an unlined, cotton summer kimono.
Each of the pieces is of a slightly different dimension from the average size is shown above: pieces from the selection represented here were made in the early to mid twentieth century, and each shows some ingrained creases and fading from wear.
A wonderful sampler and one that can be easily applied to any fashion or art endeavor.

LFT Has Left the Building
This just in from the so-called Lifestyle Fashion Terminal down in Victory Park concerning its immediate demise, courtesy something formerly called "the economy":
As of Friday, November 21, LFT will begin the liquidation process of the store in Victory Park. "Due primarily to the current state of the economy and a yet to mature trade area, we have reluctantly decided to close our doors," [says] LFT owner, Ort Varona. LFT, as it is now known, cannot sustain the high level quality product we provide along with the personalized customer service that our loyal patrons have come to know. We are deeply saddened to see the doors close after a successful 20 month run. We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who made this store a great success.
"We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve Dallas and will continue to support any effort to create a better community," [says] Ort Varona.
Its outta-business sale hours will be 11 a.m. till 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. till 6 p.m. Sundays till everything's gone. In the short term, it's good news for label-conscious consumers craving something by James Perse or Cynthia Vincent, especially at this (formerly) most wonderful time of the year, but this is big, bad news -- because LFT's demise means Victory Park's soon to be stuck with 30,000 square feet of empty. --Robert Wilonsky

One love that's sure to show in the stars…
One boy who will do anything to protect her, even if that means laying down his own life to keep the demons from her…

255 Elm Street

$20 - $25
Bring in the New Year in with Laughter. Comedian Jim McCue will headline this yearly comedy spectacular with great comedians and the perfect venue to enjoy New Years Eve.
With a mixture of witty "A-list material" and his ability to work off-script has earned Jim McCue the title "Boston's King of Crowd Work!" It's not only his height of six foot six that makes Jim stand head and shoulders above club comedians of the "stick-to-the-script" variety. Jim blends thought-provoking material and uncanny improv skills with a style that encourages audience participation. No two shows are ever the same!
Jim has been featured on Comedy Central, Comcast Comedy Spotlight, NBC's "Last Comic Standing," and "Roughing It" on NESN in his native New England. Jim also founded and currently runs The Boston Comedy Festival. He works in top comedy clubs in Boston, Las Vegas, New York, Dublin, Montreal and Edinburgh.
Since 1999 Jim has also entertained U.S. troops at more than 100 bases around the world. An account of his experiences performing for the troops has recently been published in Embedded Comedian which Jim describes as a "field manual for comedians in a war zone."

Readers' Favorite Gave "Don't Make A Wish" 5 Stars
Reviewed By Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite
Don't Make A Wish by Lizzy Stevens and Steve Miller with Jason and Noah Miller is a charming short story about an unwelcome genie. Tara's grandmother and only living relative has just passed away. Taking a couple of weeks off from work, Tara begins planning the funeral and going through her grandmother's things. A discovery in the attic changes the course of her life in an unprecedented and unpredictable way. Her grandmother left specific instructions to leave an ancient lamp alone, but Tara didn't heed her warning. Now she is faced with a hostile genie with an unkind sense of humor. She doesn't want his stupid wishes, anyway. How does she make the persistent djinn go away without causing them both collateral damage?
A Lost Memory by Lizzy Stevens and Steve Miller is an intriguing fantasy in short story form. Alley has been in some kind of accident and awakens to a place she doesn't remember, to people she doesn't know. She doesn't recall what happened to her, nor does she recognize her home or her parents. Alley has vivid dreams of a pure white horse with wings and a very good-looking man who calls out to her, begging her to return to him. The two fantastic beings continue to haunt her dreams as she struggles with the unknown reality she finds herself in. Which is real - the man of her dreams or her perfect home and loving parents?
Don't Make A Wish by Lizzy Stevens and Steve Miller with Jason and Noah Miller, and A Lost Memory by Lizzy Stevens and Steve Miller are charming fantasy stories with interesting plots and story lines. It is notable that the authors are donating all the proceeds from this book to the Epilepsy Foundation. Both stories are entertaining and enjoyable and I recommend them to those who are fans of the fantasy genre.

Welcome to the Canoples Investigations Exposes Space Dodger release tour. This is the third novel and fourth story in this series. Strap on your restraints and be ready for an exciting ride… oh, once you have the book in hand, you will discover there's a special added attraction—the first chapter of Secret Society: A Canoples Investigations Novella!
There's a carnival on the station, with all kinds of "legally" cloned animals, more than a few zero-G acrobats, and miniature clowns. BD's ever present suspicious mind latches onto one thing when the advance team for Galactic Carnival arrives to begin preparations for a weeklong visit. The ringmaster looks familiar, but the man swears that he has never been to Canoples Station before. Even worse, children five and under are disappearing. A bit of investigating on BD's part clues him in to the fact this has happened on every station Galactic Carnival has visited so far. He's determined to uncover the true identity of the ringmaster and solve the mystery of the missing children, but at what cost. Is BD willing to lose his lifelong friends to solve this case? Will they prove Jenna Rock, Wade's girlfriend, isn't involved?

Anyone who operates a Plymouth knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your PB250 unless you understood you would be getting a variety of special features and fun both rolled up into one vehicle. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the good looks built into each Plymouth, and know that only the best repair PB250 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. You purchased your PB250 because its reliability and economical pricing agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
Keeping the interiors of our cars and trucks cool and comfortable has been possible since HVAC was pioneered around 70 years ago. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and it creates a slight excess of water as it travels through all the HVAC components on your Plymouth PB250. Your car's A/C receiver drier is installed between the condenser and the expansion valve, and it separates the water from the refrigerant so that it can go on to cool your passenger compartment. Each time your vehicle's air conditioning gets serviced and parts are replaced, you must change your Plymouth PB250 A/C receiver drier or accumulator.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Plymouth PB250 part for your needs. Bring your PB250 back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. If your car or truck was built in 1983, 1982, 1981, then you will find the correct Plymouth PB250 A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator parts right here.

AKA claims that his merchandise is better Kanye West's clothes at his pop-up store in Cape Town.
As if Kanye West didn't have enough problems after Kid Cudi's rant against him this week, the US rap star has been called out by local rapper AKA.
AKA followed in the footsteps of his US counterpart this week by opening a pop-up merchandise store in Cape Town, the only difference is that AKA claims that his merchandise is better.
Taking to Twitter as the doors of his store opened on Thursday, AKA shaded the quality of Kanye West's merchandise being sold at his Cape Town pop-up store, claiming that it was made from "rubbish wholesale T-shirts".
Our MERCH quality is better than the Cape Town PABLO MERCH …. They printed over rubbish wholesale T shirts. Ask anyone who copped there.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) September 15, 2016
Kanye West shut down Cape Town several weeks ago when he launched a pop-up store for his Saint Pablo tour merchandise in the city.
AKA made sure he showed off the quality of his merchandise, displaying branded t-shirts and long sleeve shirts ahead of his Supa Mega Show in Cape Town this weekend.
We're not sure that AKA's criticism of Kanye's merchanise will ever reach Kanye's ears, especially after the US rapper this week revealed that he has ditched his cellphone to focus on his music, but we'll be sure to look out for a response.

"Again!" shouted Ming. "You're all tense! Relax, let your chi flow, so you can stop theirs!"
Aten loved Ming, but sometimes she could be so difficult to work with.
"I'm trying! You're too fast!" he told her.
"Well, you have to be faster."
"Grr, I'm tired of practising, can't we do something else?" he cried plaintively.
"Fine..." Ming relented.
After all, Aten was getting better. Ever since she left Kyoshi Island, she had been alone. But, now she had him, and she felt a connection with him that she hadn't felt since she left her home. Ming had travelled towards Ba Sing Se when she had just turned twelve. She wanted to teach at a self-defence school, but she wasn't allowed to go into the Upper Ring, where the only people rich enough to pay for such a class lived, because she, while she was descended from Kyoshi herself, couldn't bend, and had no family. So she had turned around and trekked back, hoping to find some equality in Republic City. On her way, she had passed a farmhouse, with one small boy with a horrifically burnt face, and three newly dug graves. Despite only being a few years older than him, he would not go near her, or speak, and it took a lot to coax him out of his shell. After two years of friendship, she still didn't know what happened, nor why he wanted to learn how to chi-block. That was ancient stuff; no-one used it anymore. But he, like her, wasn't a bender, and so she taught him. Ming never returned to Kyoshi Island, instead they travelled with a circus around the Earth Kingdom. She was naturally graceful, and so she had a trapeze act with the company. It paid well, but poor Aten had nothing to offer but the freak show, and she refused to let them torture him. So, she looked after him.
"What are you looking at?" The question shook her out of her stupor. She realized that she had been watching him for a while, thinking.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just tired. We best think about dinner, the sun will set soon, and I want to get back to the circus. I heard from the cook that the Agni Kai Triad have been harassing the owners, trying to pay 'protection money', whatever that mean Maybe we should make them pay us protection money to guard them! Aten?"
Aten's eyes had glazed over, as if remembering a past dream. Ming was worried. The only other time she had seen that expression on him was when they were leaving his destroyed home, and he looked at the ruins one last time.
"Hmm?" Aten met her purple eyes, a rare mutation, just like his golden ones, and stared at her. His face was unreadable to most due to the scarring, but not her. She knew everything about him, save for his past. That was going to change. "I said, I figured out why you can't block my chi," she lied easily.
"Oh, really?" He perked up at this suggestion. "Can I practise a little longer then?"
"Uhh, perhaps its better tomorrow. Sunrise. And I want you to meditate tonight."
"Aww, meditate? But that's boring!" Aten was disappointed, but she needed him to trust her, now more than ever.
"Yes. Please, Aten? For me?"
"... Alright," he sighed. "What do you want me to meditate on?"
"I need you to meditate on all the bad things that have happened in your life."
Aten was visibly disturbed by this notion. He took a deep breath, and nodded. Just once.
"Thank you," said Ming, and she gave him a hug. They walked back to their shared tent, and shared a warm meal. Ming knew Aten would be feeling apprehensive, so she purposely gave him the last fruit pie.
"It will all be okay, Aten. Trust me." she lifted up his disfigured face, and smiled at him. After a long moment, he smiled back...

Oat Bran & Blueberry Muffins With Spelt (Vegan)
Recipe by magpie diner
"Veganized" (?) from the recipe on the package of oat bran. This also uses spelt flour instead of regular wheat, of course you could use regular flour instead. I was pleasantly surprised at how well these turned out - really light, maybe a little crumbly due to the spelt. In a nutshell, really good and all the benefits of the oat bran!
Top Review by laurenlikesfood
This is a great recipe! I recently went wheat-free and am so thankful for Spelt flour. I love the texture from the oat bran, too, and found that these were still fluffy and moist, unlike some bran muffin recipes. I used a diced granny smith apple instead of blueberries but can't wait to try it with blueberries. Healthy and delicious. Bravo!

The present invention relates to level shifting circuits.
Integrated circuit ("IC") designs increasingly require interface between ICs, or between portions within a single IC, that have different voltage requirements. Level shifting circuits are used to accomplish changing a voltage level of an electronic signal from a first value to a second value.
When shifting from a signal having a smaller voltage to a signal having a higher voltage, many existing level shifting circuits rely at least in part on transistors that have threshold voltages capable of tolerating the full voltage range of the larger voltage signal. Such transistors typically have thicker insulating (e.g., oxide) layers than do transistors in circuits that process the smaller signal. Thicker oxide transistors can tolerate the voltage difference generated by the larger signal. However, use of thicker oxide devices can limit the switching speed of the circuit and hence limit the frequency of signals that the circuit is capable of generating or transmitting. There is therefore a need for level shifting circuits that can utilize transistors having thinner insulating layers to generate signals of a given voltage range.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a high speed level shifting circuit that uses an input signal to generate two intermediate signals and uses the intermediate signals to generate an output signal. The output signal has a higher voltage than the input signal.
One embodiment includes a first driver and second driver coupled in parallel to provide intermediate signals to an output driver. In a particular aspect, individual transistors of the output driver are subject to gate-to-source, gate-to-drain, and source-to-drain voltages that are less than the peak-to-peak amplitude of the output signal.
In one embodiment, the first driver includes an n-channel metal oxide semiconductor ("NMOS") cascode circuit, the second driver includes a p-channel metal oxide semiconductor ("PMOS") cascode circuit, and the output driver includes a complementary metal oxide conductor ("CMOS") cascoded inverter stage. In one embodiment, the level shifter is implemented in an IC characterized by 45-nanometer technology.
In another embodiment, the second driver includes CMOS inverters and the first driver is coupled to a programmable current select to help select current levels through the driver so that the signal transition time it provides substantially matches the signal transition time of the second driver. In another embodiment, the level shifter is implemented in an IC characterized by 65-nanometer technology.
The novel features of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. However, for purpose of explanation, several aspects of particular embodiments of the invention are described by reference to the following figures.
The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention, and is provided in the context of particular applications and their requirements. Various modifications to the exemplary embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
Embodiments herein will be illustrated and described in the context of circuits for processing a differential pair of signals. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the principles disclosed are equally applicable to various circuit types, including single-ended circuits.
Level shifter 100 includes inputs INA and INB. Inputs INA and INB receives signals such as signals A-IN and B-IN. Signals A-IN and B-IN are differential counterparts; thus signal B-IN is phase-shifted 180 degrees relative to signal A-IN.
Level shifter 100 also includes outputs OUTA and OUTB. Signals such as signals A-OUT and B-OUT are provided by level shifter 100 at, respectively, OUTA and OUTB. Like signals A-IN and B-IN, signals A-OUT and B-OUT are differential counterparts of each other; thus A-OUT and B-OUT are 180 degrees out of phase. Signals A-IN and B-IN are 1.2 volt ("1.2 v") signals. Signals A-OUT and B-OUT are 1.8 v signals.
Level shifter 100 further includes first driver 11, second driver 12, and output driver 13 coupled as shown, with drivers 11 and 12 forming parallel stages coupled to the output stage, driver 13.
Driver 11 is a voltage clamping cascode stage. It includes resistors RN1 and RN2 and NMOS transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5 coupled as shown. Transistors N1 and N2 form a differential input pair. Transistors N3 and N4 are coupled to the differential input pair as shown to form a cascode arrangement. Transistors N3 and N4 are coupled to bias voltage VB1 (1.0 v in this example). Transistor N5 is coupled to bias voltage VB2 (0.6 v in this example), and serves as a current sink.
Second driver 12 is another voltage clamping cascode stage. It includes resistors RP1 and RP2 and PMOS transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 coupled as shown. Transistors P1 and P2 form a differential input pair. Transistors P3 and P4 are coupled to the differential input pair as shown to form a cascode arrangement. Transistors P3 and P4 are also coupled to bias voltage VB2. Transistor P5 is coupled to bias voltage VB1, and serves as a current source.
Output driver 13 includes voltage-clamping cascode CMOS inverters 13A and 13B. Cascode inverter 13A includes PMOS transistors P6 and P7 and NMOS transistors N6, and N7. Transistors P6 and N7 form a single-ended inverter input of the cascoded CMOS inverter output stage. Transistors P7 and N6 are coupled to the input transistors as shown to provide a cascode arrangement. Transistor P7 is coupled to bias voltage VB2 and transistor N6 is coupled to bias voltage VB4 (1.2 v in this example). Cascode inverter 13B includes PMOS transistors P9 and P10 and NMOS transistors N9, and N10. Transistors P9 and N10 form a single-ended inverter input of the cascoded CMOS inverter output stage. Transistors P10 and N9 are coupled to the input transistors as shown to provide a cascode arrangement. Transistor P10 is coupled to bias voltage VB2 and transistor N6 is coupled to bias voltage VB4.
First driver 11, second driver 12, and output driver 13 are all coupled to a supply voltage Vdd and a ground voltage Vss as shown. In this example, the supply voltage is 1.8 v and the ground voltage is 0 v.
In this example, signals A-IN and B-IN have low values of 0 v and high values of 1.2 v. Signals A-OUT and B-OUT have a low values of 0 v and a high values of 1.8 v. In the illustrated arrangement, level shifter 100 shifts the high value of a signal from 1.2 v (signals A-IN and B-IN) to 1.8 v (signals A-OUT and B-OUT) without putting a 1.8 v voltage stress on the gate-to-source, gate-to-drain, or drain-to-source of the thin oxide transistors as explained further below.
Level shifter 100 uses input signal A-IN to generate two intermediate signals, A1-int and A2-int (driver 11 uses A-IN to generate A1-int and driver 12 uses A-IN to generate A2-int). A1-int and A2-int are substantially similar in shape and in peak-to-peak amplitude (i.e., the difference between the high and low values of the signal), but A1-int ranges from 0.6 v to 1.8 v while A2-int ranges from 0 v to 1.2 v. The resistance of resistors RN1 and RN2 and the value of VB2 biasing transistor N5's gate are selected such that the low value of signal A1-int remains around 0.6 v. Cascoded inverter 13A receives both signal A1-int and signal A2-int. A1-int is received at the gate of PMOS transistor P6 and A2-int is received at the gate of NMOS transistor N7. Circuit 13A combines A1-int and A2-int to generate signal A-OUT, which has the full rail-to-rail voltage from 0 v to 1.8 v. In this example, A1-int and A2-int are "combined" in the sense that both are used to generate signal A-OUT.
Circuit 13A is arranged as a cascoded inverter. However, as described above, the exact same signal is not fed into both of the inverter's inputs. In this example, signals A1-int and A2-int are different in that one swings from 0.6 v to 1.8 v and the other swings from 0 v to 1.2 v. These signals are generated by parallel stages (NMOS driver 11 and PMOS driver 12). In a preferred embodiment, although A1-int and A2-int have different high/low voltage values, phase and shape of these signals (and the phase and shape of their differential counterparts B1-int and B2-int) match as closely as possible (e.g., with respect to shape, have the substantially similar rise/fall times). Also, in this example, the magnitude of the voltage range (i.e., the peak-to-peak amplitude) of each signal (A1-int and A2-int) is substantially similar (about 1.2 v).
Circuit 13B uses signals B1-int and B2-int (the differential counterparts of A1-int and A2-int) to generate signal B-OUT (the differential counterpart of A-OUT) in similar fashion. B1-int and B2-int (like A1-int and A2-int) are substantially similar in shape and peak-to-peak amplitude, but B2-int ranges from 0 v to 1.2 v while B1-int ranges from 0.6 v to 1.8 v. Cascoded inverter 13B receives both signals. B1-int is received at the gate of PMOS transistor P9 and B2-int is received at the gate of NMOS transistor N10. Circuit 13B utilizes B1-int and B2-int to generate signal B-OUT, which has the full rail to rail voltage from 0 v to 1.8 v.
In this example, the high/low values of signals A1-int, A2-int, B1-int, and B2-int and the values of VB2 and VB4 are such that the gate-to-source, gate-to-drain, or drain-to-source voltage stress on any one of the transistors in output driver 13 (i.e., P6, P7, N6, N7, P9, P10, N9, and N10) does not exceed about 1.2 v. This allows the use of thinner oxide devices at the output stage than would otherwise be used to drive a 1.8 v signal. Also, the resistance value of RN1, RN2, RP1, and RP2 and the value of biases VB1, VB2, and VB4 are selected to keep the stress on the transistors in first driver 11 (i.e., N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5) and second driver 12 (i.e., P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5) from exceeding about 1.2 v. In this example, the resistance of each resistor (RN1, RN2, RP1, and RP2) is about 600 ohms ("600Ω").
Level shifter 100 shifts signals to 1.8 v and is capable of a data throughput greater than 8-10 gigabits per second ("Gbps"). In a preferred implementation, level shifter 100 shifts signals from 1.2 v to 1.8 v and allows a data throughput of about 12-16 Gbps. In one embodiment, level shifter 100 is implemented in an IC characterized by 45-nanometer technology. This term refers to an approximate channel length dimension of transistors on the IC.
Signals B-IN, B1-int, B2-int, and B-OUT are simply the differential counterparts to the signals illustrated in
Level shifter 300 includes inputs INA′ and INB′ for receiving signals such as A-IN′ and B-IN′.
Level shifter 300 also includes outputs OUTA′ and OUTB′. Signals such as A-OUT′ and B-OUT′ are provided by level shifter 300 at, respectively, OUTA′ and OUTB′.
Level shifter 300 further includes first driver 31, second driver 32, and output driver 33.
First driver 31 is similar to driver 11 of the embodiment of
Output driver 33 is similar to output driver 13 of
In this embodiment, second driver 32 includes two standard CMOS inverters 32 a and 32 b coupled in parallel. Inverters 32 a and 32 b are driven by a 1.2 v supply voltage and are coupled to ground (connections to supply voltage and ground not separately shown). First driver 31 and output driver 33 are coupled to a supply voltage Vdd (1.8 v) and a ground voltage Vss (0 v) as shown.
Level shifter 300, like level shifter 100, shifts signals from a 1.2 v input signal to a 1.8 v output signal. Like level shifter 100, level shifter 300 utilizes intermediate signals generated from the input signal to generate the output signal. A1-int′ and A2-int′ are substantially similar phase, transition times, and peak-to-peak amplitude (i.e. difference between high and low voltage values), but A1-int′ ranges from 0.6 v to 1.8 v while A2-int′ ranges from 0 v to 1.2 v. In this example, the voltage provided from programmable current select 34 to bias the gate of transistor N5′ and the resistance of resistors RN1′ and RN2′ are selected such that the low value of signal A1-int′ remains around 0.6 v. In this example, the resistance of each resistor (RN1′ and RN2′) is about 600Ω.
Cascoded inverter 33A receives both signal A1-int′ and signal A2-int′. A1-int′ is received at the gate of PMOS transistor P6′ and A2-int′ is received at the gate of NMOS transistor N7′. Circuit 33A combines A1-int′ and A2-int′ to generate signal A-OUT, which has the full rail-to-rail voltage from 0 v to 1.8 v. A1-int′ and A2-int′ are "combined" in the sense that both are used to generate signal A-OUT.
Cascoded inverter 33B uses signals B1-int′ and B2-int′ (the differential counterparts of A1-int′ and A2-int′) to generate signal B-OUT′ (the differential counterpart of A-OUT′) in similar fashion. B1-int′ and B2-int′ (like A1-int′ and A2-int′) have substantially similar phase, transition time, and peak-to-peak amplitude, but B1-int′ ranges from 0.6 v to 1.8 v while B2-int′ ranges from 0 v to 1.2 v. Cascoded inverter 33B receives both signals. B1-int′ is received at the gate of PMOS transistor P9′ and B2-int′ is received at the gate of NMOS transistor N10′. Circuit 33B utilizes B1-int′ and B2-int′ to generate signal B-OUT′, which has the full rail-to-rail voltage from 0 v to 1.8 v.
In a preferred embodiment, although A1-int′ and A2-int′ have different voltage values, the phase, transition times, and peak-to-peak amplitude of these signals (and the phase, transition times, and peak-to-peak amplitude of their differential counterparts B1-int′ and B2-int′) match as closely as possible. To facilitate this, first driver 31 is coupled to programmable current select 34. In this context, particular process, voltage, and temperature ("PVT") variations might result in first driver 31 and second driver 32 having slightly different performance characteristics which in turn might result in intermediate signals that have slightly different transition times (i.e. rise/fall times). For example, upon initial operation, if driver 31 is generating signals with slightly slower transition times than signals generated by second driver 32, then programmable current select 34 can be programmed to provide a slightly higher voltage to the gate of transistor N5′, thereby increasing the current through driver 31 and increasing the rise/fall time of intermediate signal strands A1-int′ and A2-int′. Also, although A1-int′ and A2-int′ have different voltage ranges, in this example they have a substantially similar peak-to-peak amplitude of 1.2 v.
In this example, the high/low values of signals A1-int′, A2-int′, B1-int′, and B2-int′ and the values of VB2′ and VB4′ are chosen so that the voltage stress on any one of the transistors in output driver 33 (i.e., P6′, P7′, N6′, N7′, P9′, P10′, N9′, and N10′) does not exceed about 1.2 v. This allows the use of thinner oxide devices than would otherwise be used to drive a 1.8 v signal. Also, the resistance of resistors RN1′ and RN2′, the value of bias VB1′ and the value of the voltage bias provided by programmable current select 34 are chosen to keep the stress on the transistors in first driver 31 (i.e., N1′, N2′, N3′, N4′, and N5′) from exceeding about 1.2 v.
In a preferred implementation, level shifter 300 shifts signals from 1.2 v to 1.8 v and is capable of a data throughput of 12-16 Gbps. In one embodiment, level shifter 300 is implemented in an IC characterized by 65-nanometer technology.
CDR 500 includes bang-bang phase detector 501, deserializer 505, level shifter 502, charge pump 503, and voltage control oscillator ("VOC") 504 all coupled as shown. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, certain elements of CDR 500 are also commonly used in phase-locked loops ("PLLs"). In particular, level charge pumps and VCOs are well known PLL elements. Therefore, in this example, mux 506 allows selection between output from other PLL circuitry (other PLL circuitry not separately shown) and bang-bang phase detector 501 to provide input to level shifter 502. This allows level shifter 502, charge pump 503, and VOC 504 to be used by either CDR 500 or by a PLL (PLL not separately shown).
When CDR 500 is needed, mux 506 is programmed to select output from bang-bang phase detector 501 to provide input to level shifter 502. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the input signals to level shifter 502 are based on a phase difference between data signals provided to one input of bang-bang phase detector 501 and clock feedback signals provided from VCO 504 to the other input of bang-bang phase detector 501.
Bang-bang phase detector 501 is processing high speed data with, in one example, a data throughput of about 10 Gbps. Bang-bang phase detector 501 provides 1.2 v signals to level shifter 502 which in turn provides 1.8 v signals to charge pump 503. Level shifter 502 is in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention and can shift the signals from 1.2 v signals to 1.8 v signals while maintaining a high throughput. In a preferred implementation, level shifter 502 shifts signals from 1.2 v to 1.8 v and allows a throughput of 12-16 Gbps.
A CDR circuit including a level shifter embodying the present invention might be included in a variety of ICs, including ICs that are programmable logic devices. Programmable logic devices ("PLDs") (also sometimes referred to as complex PLDs ("CPLDs"), programmable array logic ("PALs"), programmable logic arrays ("PLAs"), field PLAs ("FPLAs"), erasable PLDs ("EPLDs"), electrically erasable PLDs ("EEPLDs"), logic cell arrays ("LCAs"), field programmable gate arrays ("FPGAs"), or by other names) are well known ICs that provide the advantages of fixed ICs with the flexibility of custom ICs. Such devices are well known in the art and typically provide an "off the shelf" device having at least a portion that can be programmed to meet a user's specific needs. Application specific ICs ("ASICs") have traditionally been fixed ICs, however, it is possible to provide an ASIC that has a portion or portions that are programmable; thus, it is possible for an IC device to have qualities of both an ASIC and a PLD. The term PLD as used herein will be considered broad enough to include such devices.
PLDs typically include blocks of logic elements, sometimes referred to as logic array blocks ("LABs"; also referred to by other names, e.g., "configurable logic blocks," or "CLBs"). Logic elements ("LEs", also referred to by other names, e.g., "logic cells") may include a look-up table ("LUT") or product term, carry-out chain, register, and other elements. LABs (comprising multiple LEs) may be connected to horizontal and vertical lines that may or may not extend the length of the PLD.
PLDs have configuration elements that may be programmed or reprogrammed. Configuration elements may be realized as random access memory ("RAM") bits, flip-flops, electronically erasable programmable read-only memory ("EEPROM"), or other memory elements. Placing new data into the configuration elements programs or reprograms the PLD's logic functions and associated routing pathways. Configuration elements that are field programmable are often implemented as RAM cells (sometimes referred to as "CRAM" or "configuration RAM"). However, many types of configurable elements may be used including static or dynamic random access memory, electrically erasable read-only memory, flash, fuse, and anti-fuse programmable connections. The programming of configuration elements could also be implemented through mask programming during fabrication of the device. While mask programming may have disadvantages relative to some of the field programmable options already listed, it may be useful in certain high volume applications.
A level shifter in accordance with the present invention may implemented in a PLL or in another portion of a PLD or in another type of IC. It might also be implemented at the interface between two or more ICs.
System 600 can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as computer networking, data networking, instrumentation, video processing, digital signal processing, or any other application where the advantage of using programmable or reprogrammable logic in system design is desirable. PLD 610 can be used to perform a variety of different logic functions. For example, programmable logic device 610 can be configured as a processor or controller that works in cooperation with processor 640 (or, in alternative embodiments, a PLD might itself act as the sole system processor). PLD 610 may also be used as an arbiter for arbitrating access to shared resources in system 600. In yet another example, PLD 610 can be configured as an interface between processor 640 and one of the other components in system 600. It should be noted that system 600 is only exemplary.
In one embodiment, system 600 is a digital system. As used herein a digital system is not intended to be limited to a purely digital system, but also encompasses hybrid systems that include both digital and analog subsystems.
Although particular embodiments have been described in detail and certain variants have been noted, various other modifications to the embodiments described herein may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, thus, the invention is limited only by the appended claims.
