The image of cars in a showroom
Lotus unveiled their 2013 car to great fanfare (if not universal approval) this week and the rest of the F1 teams are on tap to follow suit over the next few days and weeks.
McLaren is up next, and they will roll out the new model today – Thursday – while Ferrari and Force India will follow on Friday.
Here are the rest: Sauber on Saturday, Red Bull on Sunday, Toro Rosso and Mercedes on Monday and Caterham next Tuesday. Williams has scheduled a Feb. 19 launch and while Marussia has not set a date (as of today), it will follow Williams at some point.
Sticking with F1 for a moment, DTM racer Susie Wolff will be doing more with Williams this season, focusing on most of the team's aerodynamic and simulator work.
And Autosport magazine is reporting that there is a move afoot to resuscitate the Spanish HRT team, which thankfully went out of business at the end of last season. Autosport says Canadian and American investors in something called Scorpion Racing are hoping to get the team back on the grid in time for the 2013 season and have the blessing, allegedly, of one Bernie Ecclestone, although Bernie is now saying they're probably too late.
I'm curious as to who the Canadian investor, or investors, might be.
Two Canadians have owned teams in Formula One – B.C.'s Walter Wolf back in the 1970s and, more recently, Alex Shnaider of Toronto, who bought Eddie Jordan's team early in 2005 and unloaded it onto the Spyker Car company about 18 months later. Both Wolf and Shnaider got out while the going was good. Translation: before they lost their shirts.
There are relatively few Canadians with the money required to play in Formula One. And it is a sucker bet to begin with. Don't believe me? Ask Craig Pollock. Ask Richard Branson. Ask Alex Shnaider.
A lot of people think it's easy. Back in 2004, I had a column in the Toronto Star in which I wrote the following paragraphs about idealistic people with stars in their eyes who think it's a dandy idea to try to break into F1:
"When Grand Prix racing came to Canada in August, 1967, eight Formula One manufacturers brought cars: Brabham, Lotus, Cooper, Honda, Ferrari, BRM, Eagle and McLaren.
"It is 38 years later and only two of those famous marques are still in business: Ferrari and McLaren.
"In all that time, untold others have tried to crack the lineup of the most famous, the most demanding and the most expensive auto racing series in the world. None of them ever made it for long. Despite idealism and big promises and big money, lest we forget:
"Matra, March, Surtees, Shadow, Iso, Tecno, Hesketh, Lola, Parnelli, Penske, Hill, Ensign, Ligier, Copersucar, Wolf, ATS, Arrows, Fittipaldi, Alfa Romeo, Theodore, Osella, Toleman, Zakspeed, AGS, Rial, Onyx, Eurobrun, Larousse-Venturi, Larousse alone (didn't he kill the other guy?), Andrea Moda and Footwork — to name some, but certainly not all.
"Even the Ford Motor Co. — the Ford Motor Co. — had to throw in the towel when it realized its Jaguar team was costing a fortune and going nowhere.
"The manufacturers that lasted — Ferrari, McLaren, Williams — did so because of elbow grease. They proved that the business of auto racing grows from the ground up, over many years. It's not something that happens at the snap of a finger."
If HRT does make a comeback, it'll be gone again before the Canadians and Americans who sink their money into it will know what hit them.
If you do have money to burn in something like F1, wouldn't it be better to buy in as an associate sponsor of an existing top team (none will ever say no, you know) and get some enjoyment out of it?
It's a lot better than going bankrupt.
Social note: Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti are calling it a marriage. I really thought they were forever.

THE WELCOME TABLE Chef Tanya Holland hosts a soulful seder.
April 2015
At Brown Sugar, customers of all races and classes commune over her chicken and waffles. For her seder, Holland wanted that same harmony of people and flavors. So last year, she and Surkis invited friends—African American, Jewish, or both—to their house in Oakland. The menu reflected the heritages around the table: It was based on seder classics like matzo-ball soup, but infused with the flavors of the African American South and North Africa.

Xfile from Rixstep is the only file manager for OS X capable of seamlessly handling all file systems - fdesc, HFS+, HFS+ case-sensitive, UFS, volfs, ZFS. It's the only file manager capable of detailing all file information available on OS X - and offering full editing capabilities for all these system features.
And Xfile is the only file manager for OS X that shows you everything - literally everything. Without exception. You'll be amazed - perhaps even shocked - at how much is out there that you never saw before.
And it runs so smooth on any version of OS X - like no other OS X file manager at any price.
Xfile on any version of OS X has power and speed you simply can't comprehend.
Xfile manages 'file flags' (user and system append, immutable, etc); 'sticky bits'; set user and group ID bits; it displays major and minor device numbers, inodes (CNIDs), number of links, blocks used, optimal block sizes, and file generation numbers for the superuser; it creates both hard and symbolic links.
All of this is supported by your operating system. Almost none of it is supported by any other file browser. Especially Apple's Finder.
Additional utilities included allow manipulation of two Unix and five HFS time stamps; batch and recursive mode and time stamping; the remarkable Xshelf; the comprehensive 'post mortem' analysis tool Tracker; complete access to 'legacy MacOS' filesystem data; and more.
Xfile is rugged - make no mistake about it. It's not a bloat monster and it's designed correctly from the get-go. You never get yourself into those impossible 'crash and hang situations' Finder and other file managers can't get out of.
[Purchase Xfile here. ] [Purchase your ACP here. ] [Download your Xfile Test Drive for macOS (10.4-10.13) here. ]
The Xfile package also includes the file system scanner Xscan for quickly locating items in the file systems and for conducting perfunctory system security audits. Xscan can scan an entire OS X computer, listing all files in eleven columns of file data, in a time span of one or two minutes even on 'yesterday's hardware'. It can also scan entire networks at the same speed.
All items with resource forks are clearly marked with sizes for each fork available. The FileInfo utility allows manipulation of the special 'Finder flags' found in HFS catalog node info blocks.
Xstrings dumps readable strings from binary files; Xfind searches given files for specified search strings. And so forth.
All the utilities are tightly integrated - so if you can conceive of a way they work together, they probably do.
The Xfile package comes with the proprietary ACP framework, offering seamless search capabilities in every program, full management of both the imagery and documentation systems, and more. Information on the full ACP is also available.
Xfile is part of the ACP - Rixstep's 'Apple Core Project', a research project into viable means to hone and optimise generic application development on OS X for professional purposes. The ACP is intended for the professional audience but extreme power users can also find benefit.
The Xfile package is part and parcel of the complete ACP and offers insight into the full capabilities of this award winning product. The Xfile application is the fastest file manager for OS X, capable of listing a full ten columns of file system data for 10,000 files in .14 seconds realtime. It's known as the 'standard setter' for OS X file management. As it's the only file manager capable of doing everything possible on OS X, it stands in a class of its own.
The Xfile package contains 290+ items. In addition to Xfile and the ACP framework it contains (at least) the applications Clipothèque, FileInfo, MD, Rixcomp, Rixmode, Rixstamp, TMI, Tracker, Xattrib, Xfind, Xscan, Xsed, Xshelf, Xstamp, Xstrings, CLIX ACP edition, and Undercover. Further applications are being added at no additional cost.
The trial download contains a smattering of the above: Xfile, Xfind, Xscan, FileInfo, TMI, Tracker, and Undercover.
Rixstep are a constellation of programmers and administrators concentrating on Objective-C/NeXTSTEP/OpenStep/Cocoa software engineering. Their 'ACP' (AppleCore Project) has won considerable acclaim, in particular their file manager Xfile and their GUI version of the Unix command line CLIX. They also provide a series of free topical newsletters on security and industry events and offer online courses in Unix and Cocoa programming.
Credentials include programming consulting and training assignments for British Aerospace, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, SAAB Defence Systems, IBM, Microsoft, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Barclays Bank, and Sony/Ericsson.

For many, college is among the most pivotal times in life, and sets the stage for all of the professional achievements and intellectual interests to come. Therefore, the process of making decisions about which institution to attend, what course of study to follow and how to pay for it all can be crucial indeed. Continue reading to get some terrific advice for navigating this challenging stage of life.
When you enter your room on the first day of college, the best thing that you can do is to fraternize with your roommates. These are going to be the people that you spend the rest of the year with so it is very smart to make friends with them immediately.
You don't want to get overzealous and pick way too many hard classes at once. You'll barely be able to keep up, and you won't be capable of submitting your best work.
Before deciding on a college, learn all you can on the career you choose. Doing this will ensure your desired college provides all the courses you'll require in order to obtain your degree. If you are unsure, talk with an admissions counselor.
Help created a study group or get a study buddy for classes and subjects that you may need more help with. Everyone has different learning styles, and you may learn and retain more while working and discussing with your study partner and group, instead of from the fast-paced lecture form your professor.
You should be respectful of your roommate's wishes. You need to learn how to work with him or her so that it makes your time easier. Sit down when you first get to school and find out what you both expect out of a roommate so you can both be happy.
When taking a test, remember that it is just a test. Many people get intimidated by tests thinking that they are more than they really are. They are supposed to be a review of what you have already learned in your class. Having confidence in yourself and studying well can help you do well on them.
Get all distractions and chores out of the way before you sit down to study. That way, you won't be tempted to be distracted by things that you could or should be doing instead. Many people find that unfinished chores lure them away from studying and give them an excuse to procrastinate. So get those things out of the way first so you can give your studying undivided attention.
Save money while you're in college. This can be tough, especially when you think of how much time you don't have to earn money, and how many things there are to spend money on. Try to save just a few bucks a week that can go for major outings or money crunches.
Purchase a Degree – Take notes in class. Writing notes is helpful in solidifying the information in your head. This can go a long way in aiding your study sessions. You may think you can remember everything, but writing notes is a good habit to get into.
You should always keep up on a routine if you are in college. If you do not do this it will be far too easy just to skip out on study sessions. You need to be self disciplined and if it is study time, do it. Do not skip out so you can go out to a party with your friends. There is plenty of time for that.
There can be no denying the importance of a college education for countless individuals. However, that is not to say that decisions regarding where to apply, which major to choose and how the degree program will be financed are simple ones. By heeding the tips found above, it is possible to simplify the process a bit and gain a bit of helpful perspective.

Billy Elliot the Musical.
The story of Billy Elliot is deeply appealing: During the 1980s, as Maggie Thatcher wars with the powerful coal-mining union as part of her campaign to destroy British labor, an eleven-year-old miner's son stumbles into a ballet class and discovers an unlikely love of dance. Naturally, this appalls his tough brother and widowed father, but he struggles on. Ballet becomes a metaphor for transcendence and personal freedom. And although their cause is hopeless and their community doomed, the boy's passion to some small extent changes those around him, eliciting an odd tenderness from these work- and poverty-hardened men. The 2000 movie, directed by Stephen Daldry, was a little sentimental, and the approach to ballet didn't ring true — but this musical feels even more dishonest. If you decide to use ballet as a fulcrum for action, then give us some sense of what's transcendent about the art form. Through a long evening that features every Broadway dance cliché in the book, the only number that really communicates the joy of dance is "Born to Boogie," in which young Billy capers with his ballet teacher and her laconic pianist comes unexpectedly forward to reveal a few choice moves of his own. And the single scene that comes close to expressing the beauty of ballet is a duet danced by young Billy and his adult self to the music of Swan Lake. But most of the choreography is cheesy. The script is more disjointed and sentimental even than that of the movie — as well as a lot, lot longer. And the insipid, ponderously obvious Elton John score doesn't help a bit.

Five Course Love. This production consists of five musical scenes set in five different restaurants, each one a broad parody in which author Gregg Coffin spoofs stereotypes while shamelessly using and abusing them. There's a barbecue place featuring country/Western music; an Italian restaurant where a mob wife is cheating — very operatically — on her husband; a cozy German restaurant intended as a place of refuge for the Eleanor Rigbys of the world that ends up hosting a dominatrix and her men; a Mexican cantina where a sweet maiden must decide between the waiter's true love and the lustful excitement offered by an outlaw; and, finally, a standard '50s diner with a doo-wop ambience and a kindly owner called Pop. Three actors whip through all the roles, donning and doffing costumes and assuming jokey accents. It's all really silly — but some of the songs are musically witty (and very well played by musical director Troy Schuh and his musicians) and some downright balls-out daft. Others are really very lovely: the ballad about refuge from the rain sung by the German waiter, for example, and the love song "Blue Flame." Many of the best numbers in Five Course Love occur in the last couple of acts, and it's also only at the end that you learn there's a dramatic reason for a lot of hokeyness.

Indiscretions. Jean Cocteau — famed writer, director, designer and filmmaker — supposedly wrote Indiscretions
in 1938, during eight opium-hazed days. The central figure is Yvonne, an irrational, suicidal, diabetic woman who terrorizes her husband, George, and completely dominates and infantilizes Michael, her twenty-year-old son. Yvonne's sister Leo lives with the family; she is nursing her own secret: a frustrated, decades-long love for George. The spur to the play's action is Michael's confession that he finally has a girlfriend, a bookbinder named Madeleine. The news sends Yvonne into a predictable frenzy, and, hoping to appease her, George — who has a secret of his own — and Leo figure out a scheme to torpedo the young couple's relationship. Leo eventually has a change of heart; what she stands to gain from it becomes apparent toward the play's end. Director Ed Baierlein's program notes say his production "highlights the satire of bourgeois values and Jerry Springer-like melodramatic intrigues inherent in the script," but that seems self-contradictory. The people we're seeing on stage aren't bourgeois at all; like Springer's people, they're trashy, and they have broad, undefined accents that swing somewhere between the American South and the West. The acting style is stagey and presentational, and though the laughs come easy in this lively production, the overall experience is puzzling and empty.

A Number.
Caryl Churchill is not a playwright who repeats herself. She doesn't have an immediately identifiable writing style, nor does she revert to certain kinds of characters or situations. Her work tends to be politically aware and highly original, and each play is distinctly different. A Number, written in 2002, when the world was agog with news that a sheep called Dolly had been cloned, is short, spare and evocative, a quiet but anguished musing on the topics of cloning, identity and nature versus nurture. The plot follows a father, Salter, who has had one of his sons copied, and who discovers that an unscrupulous scientist used his genetic material to create several more clones. As the action begins, he's in conversation with the original clone, Bernard — the man he considers his real son — and it becomes evident that Bernard's understanding of the way he came into being is false. He has always been told that Salter wanted to reproduce a first baby who died. But it turns out that son number one — also Bernard — is very much alive, and he appears in the flesh to confront his father in the second scene. So as he considers legal action against the errant scientist, Salter ponders his own motivations: Were they to create a perfect human being, or to erase his own shortcomings as a parent? Bernard number one is insecure and afraid — not least of Bernard two, who is twisted and homicidal. And then appears clone son number three, who turns out to be a completely different kettle of fish. Much of the discussion about cloning over the past decade has been predictable, with experts noting that science and technology have bestowed capabilities that existing legal and ethical structures just aren't equipped to deal with. But what still resonates is Churchill's essential question, the one most of us ponder when we're alone: Who am I, and what does it mean to be me?

The Pride. The best thing about British playwright Alexi Kaye Campbell's script is the central conceit. The action plays out in alternating scenes that take the same three people — well, essentially and symbolically the same, since they don't ever age — back and forth through a fifty-year span, from 1958 to 2008. In the process, the play documents changes in gay life and culture over time. In the mid-'50s, buttoned-down Phillip is married to Sylvia, a children's book illustrator; she has invited her friend, Oliver, the writer on her current project, to meet him and share a meal. The two men chat stiffly over a drink; later, it turns out they're attracted to each other. The results are devastating. Phillip and Oliver begin 2008 as a couple, but Oliver is unable to keep his dick in his pants, and a bitter breakup ensues. Although homosexuality is far more accepted than before, history is inescapable: Oliver's promiscuity is surely the flip side of earlier repression; discrimination continues; the difficulties of finding love persist. Sylvia is the one character who has prospered over time, having evolved from the sad, hurt, uncomprehending wife of the '50s into a sophisticated woman; she remains a perceptive and devoted friend to both Phillip and Oliver. The issues explored in The Pride are still vivid and pressing, but the play often comes across more like a catalogue of problems than a living drama, and the biggest problem is the self-pitying tone. It might have helped if director Taylor Gonda and her actors had chosen to play against rather than emphasize the lachrymose text.

Rose Colored Glass. Rose Fleishman, a Jewish refugee from Austria, runs a delicatessen in Chicago, right across the alley from a pub owned by Lady O'Riley, a dour Irish widow. Separated by centuries of history, culture and religion, the two women are coldly formal toward each other, but Lady's irrepressible granddaughter, Peg, won't have it. She's forever shuttling between the eateries, chatting, asking questions, thinking up stratagems, and slowly, reluctantly, the women begin speaking to each other. The relationship deepens as Lady learns more about Rose's predicament. It's 1938, and through the increasingly unreliable news channels from Europe, Rose finds out that her sister Sabena has disappeared from Vienna and is either dead or in hiding, and that her eleven-year-old nephew, Abraham, has fled to England. She and Lady join forces to bring the child to America. This is a gentle, nostalgic piece that would make a charming essay, short story or one-act, but there's not enough action to animate a full-length play. The tone is far-reaching and humanistic, however, and important ideas are aired: humankind's provincialism, for example, and the way we tend to ignore far-away tragedies unless there's a specific story and name attached to them. There are also salutary reminders of America's shameful reluctance to take in Jewish refugees during World War II, the bureaucracy and anti-Semitism that saw thousands of professionals, workers and people with prosperous relatives in the United States turned away on the grounds that they might become a public burden. The play also does a good job of re-creating the war as seen from the United States; along with the characters, we attempt to tease out the words from a radio's crackling static and contemplate the huge importance of papers — birth certificates, visas — that can mean the difference between life and death. But the script itself is fairly static. Presented by Miners Alley Playhouse through June 19, 1224 Washington Avenue, Golden, 303-935-3044, www.minersalley.com. Reviewed May 12.

You WANT these boots!...
By: Matt
I've had two pairs of these Bates boots before. My first pair was retired for water leakage. The current pair is being retired for tread wear. Its reasonable to expect 2-3 years from them. Not too bad for being worn at least 40hrs/week 51 weeks a year. I do commercial refrigeration repair and sometimes a roof will sag under the weight of a large unit. This means there might be several inches of water around where I have to work. They are waterproof even when standing in water for some time. You WANT waterproof! The side zipper is a must-have for being quick when you're late for work. You WANT the side zipper! The Vibram soles are very durable and can handle greasy kitchen floors. It outperforms everything else I've tried. You WANT Vibram! Lastly, don't buy insulated boots if plan to use them year-round and, at this price, I do. Loosen the laces and add layers of socks in the winter. You DON'T WANT insulation! If you want boots that perform in any situation yet are comfortable, you WANT these boots!

Is your boring and poorly paid job getting you down? Do you feel like you need a bit more excitement in your life? Then maybe taking a leap of faith and becoming a police officer would be a sensible solution? There are obviously many reasons why people don't want to do this, but if you're okay with arresting others and getting involved in domestic arguments, it could be a rather fulfilling career choice. Considering that, I'm going to give you a helping hand this morning by providing you with a basic step by step guide that if followed, could see you working in law enforcement within the next twelve months. If nothing else, it's good to look at all the opportunities available to you.
Start exercising straight away
While you certainly don't have to be the fittest person in the world to get a job working for the police, it's still a good idea to make sure you stay in shape. During your training, there will be lots of physical activities to complete, and if you somehow manage to fail them, you won't achieve your goals. So, make yourself a member of the local gym or start jogging around the streets for a couple of hours each night. That should be sufficient.
Become a volunteer
Almost every law enforcement agency in the west are always on the lookout for keen volunteers to perform some of the most basic duties. That often involves walking the streets of your local area and providing reassurance to residents. You won't be able to get directly involved if a crime occurs and you won't have the authority to detain anyone. However, your eyewitness account can be used to help secure a conviction in court, and you will have a radio to call for backup.
Apply to a police training college
The next step would be to apply to police training academy. Having already volunteered for a few months, you're much more likely to receive an acceptance letter, so make sure you mention this on your application. From there, you simply have to complete six weeks of basic training before being allocated a position at a local station. Most of this is very simple, and so long as you've been exercising enough, passing with top marks should be easy.
Enroll in specialist training
After you've been a basic police officer for a year or so, you'll have the opportunity to enroll on specialist training courses that could see you become part of an expert team dealing in drug busts, terrorism or just about anything else you can think of. Of course, you'll get to use guns with live ammo and you'll also learn lots of new tactics, strategies and maneuvers. Your wage will also increase significantly.
So, now you know exactly how to start a career in law enforcement, I wonder how many of you still think it's a good idea?
Feel free to drop me a message and let me know. See you back here next time!

Even though Valentine's Day has been celebrated for centuries, and the first American valentine was sent out decades before Hallmark's creation, Feb. 14 often gets the bad rap of being a "Hallmark holiday" solely celebrated to benefit retail manufacturers.
While greeting card companies greatly benefit from the holiday—144 million cards (not including classroom valentines) will be sent, and Hallmark alone has 1,200 to chose from—at least Valentine's Day has some basis in history.
That's a lot more than can be said about these other ridiculous Hallmark "holidays," which include Tax Day, Clergy Appreciation Day and Ferris Wheel Day.

Downturns are a great time to shop if you have the money, and a lot of firms took advantage in 2009. The big got huge, the medium got big, and some got more social as firms merged and gobbled up other firms. We can't remember a year when more M&A took place.
We pulled five deals for your consideration, ranked by "interesting-ness," not revenue:
1) Next Fifteen + M Booth
With solid tech shops Text 100, Bite, and Outcast firmly in pocket, holding company Next Fifteen expanded in to the consumer, lifestyle, and travel PR market with M Booth in the U.S., and Lexis in the U.K.
2) Publicis Groupe + Razorfish
French giant Publicis bought Razorfish from Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) for a cool $530 million. While not a PR deal per se, Publicis added a lot of size to its Vivaki suite (see VivaKi's Superfriends of Social Media Get REAL)
3) CRT/tanaka + Livingston Communications
CRT Tanaka bought Geoff Livingston's firm in the Spring, along with his very popular Buzz Bin blog (now with multiple authors.) Look for the social big foot's new firm sometime in 2010.
4) WPP Group + TNS
After a lot of chatter and speculation, global conglomerate WPP Group (Nasdaq: WPPGY) acquired Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS), known for their Cymfony analytics tool. WPP has countless marketing brands in their stable, including huge PR shops such as Burson-Marsteller, Hill & Knowlton, and Ogilvy PR.
5) Middleberg + Dowd
The growth of Don Middleberg's firm is deja vu all over again. Ten years ago he sold the $18 million Middleberg & Associates to Euro RSCG. Now his Middleberg Communications reaches mid-size with the acquisition of Jim Dowd's firm. It's Middleberg's third purchase in as many years.

Did you know that today is National Fudge Day?
To help you celebrate this tasty holiday, here are a couple recipes you should definitely try!
First, and by far my favorite, my mom's famous peanut butter fudge. Yes, you read that right, peanut butter in fudge form and yes it is as amazing as it sounds! Here's how you do it:
What you'll need:
1 pound of powdered sugar
3/4 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of milk
1. Place powdered sugar in microwave-safe bowl
2. Add peanut butter on top
3. Cut butter into 6-7 pieces and place it on top of the powdered sugar, too
4. Cook on high in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, or until the peanut butter is melted and the butter is bubbling.
5. Spray a 8×8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray
6. Remove the bowl from the microwave and add milk.
7. Stir with a whisk until smooth.
8. Pour into the 8×8 pan and pat it until it's even.
9. Put in the refrigerator to cool.
10. Cut into cubes and enjoy!
If you're looking for a more traditional way to honor National Fudge Day, try this easy recipe for hot fudge sauce to pour over your ice cream. Another one of my mom's classic dessert recipes:
What you'll need:

3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
1/4 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of butter

Woodbury school hosts "Peeps" diorama contest
Royal Oaks Elementary celebrated the colors, and the tastes, of springtime last week for its second-annual Peeps diorama contest.
The school started the diorama contest, which mirrors the Pioneer Press' annual contest, last year as a fun way to celebrate the spring.
A total of four dioramas, designed by Royal Oaks staff, were voted on by students.
The contest only has two requirements: the dioramas have to incorporate Peeps and they must be about a children's book.
For this year's contest, a total of four dioramas were submitted to the contest -- "Where's Peepo," "The Lorax," "Don't Let the Peep Drive the Bus" and "The Three Little Peeps and the Big Bad Bunny."
The winning diorama was "The Lorax," designed by third grade teachers Maribeth Swalve, Tania Dantas, Shannon Esboldt, and Karen Quirk, reading teacher Julie Johnson, and English language learning teacher Jane Trusinsky.

There seems to be some confusion about the name of this place. I'm talking about a restaurant at 75-43 Main St in Flushing maybe called Pita Something-Else-That-Starts-With-An-"H".
Is there some reason it seems to be overlooked on Chowhound. And everywhere else I search for New York falafel/shawarma intel?

After deliberating for less than 20 minutes on Tuesday, an East Hampton jury found Enrique Jarrin, 42, of East Hampton not guilty of assault in the third degree, resisting arrest, and harassment, serious charges that had been hanging over him since his arrest on Aug. 13, 2011.
Mr. Jarrin had been accused of assaulting an East Hampton Town police officer, Brian Connor, who had been on leave since the incident because of an injury he said occurred during the arrest. Officer Connor did the required paperwork after arresting Mr. Jarrin, then went home and spoke with his wife before driving to a local hospital to be treated.
Although the jury took only a short time to reach its conclusion, the trial, in East Hampton Town Justice Court, took three days. Officer Connor and two other town officers testified about the altercation that led to Mr. Jarrin's and two other men's arrests, outside a bar on Three Mile Harbor Road opposite Oakview Highway, which was called Lily Pond at the time. The defendant took the stand as well, along with three witnesses who spoke on his behalf. The cases of the other men arrested that night had already been adjudicated.
The scene during the melee involved several police officers and several men, and it was captured, in part, on a bystander's smartphone. Mr. Jarrin was unaware of the video when he was arrested, but learned of it during his arraignment later that morning. He had maintained his innocence all along, according his attorney, Robert Savage, and he broke into tears as the jury forewoman read the not-guilty verdicts for all three charges.
"He was so relieved," Mr. Savage said. "This has been on his mind for a long time." Mr. Savage was assisted during the trial by a New York attorney, Ranah Esmaili, his daughter-in-law. Tim Flannagan, a Suffolk County assistant district attorney, prosecuted the case. During his summation, Mr. Flannagan told the jury, "It is the defendant's choices and the defendant's actions that led to Officer Connor's injuries."
The four women, two men jury found the testimony of the officers contradictory. "The inconsistencies in the testimony from the officers gave pause," one juror said as she left the courtroom, "It was not credible," said another.
The extent of the officer's injury had been called into question by Mr. Savage, who pointed out that, in the video, the officer could be seen waving and using his left arm, which he said had been injured. Mr. Savage noted that the videotape did not show the entire conflict between the men, but, he said, "at no point did Mr. Jarrin appear to assault the officer. It shows a hell of a lot of context. You can try to spin it but it shows what it shows."
Mr. Savage noted that none of the officers on the scene spoke Spanish, while Mr. Jarrin speaks almost no English.
"I certainly don't think it would have made things worse" if there had been a Spanish-speaking officer at the scene. "I don't think it would have hurt, let's put it that way."

Actress Kim Sharma has finally broken her silence on the reports stating that her husband has left her for another woman and she has gone bankrupt saying that it is all rubbish. The actress got married to a business tycoon Ali Punjani in 2010.
On being asked if there is something true to these reports, Kim stated to an entertainment portal that it is all rubbish and she would not like to comment on those rubbish stories. The actress refused to say anything related to trouble in her marriage.\
Previously, it was being said that Kim's husband Ali dumped her for his girlfriend and the actress is left with no money. Reports also suggested that Kim is not financially stable so she is trying to establish her business in Mumbai.
Kim, who had dated star cricketer Yuvraj Singh in the past, rose to fame with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Mohabbatein. The lady stayed away from limelight after getting married to Ali Punjani.
Also read: Kim Sharma penniless after husband ditches her for girlfriend?
Kim was reportedly linked to designer Arjun Khanna and was said to be the reason of growing distance between him and his wife Shefalee.
Though the actress has refuted all the rumours, it is yet to be seen if she is speaking the truth.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.1.1, JellyBean Update Now Available for AT&T
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.1.1, JellyBean update is now rolling out for AT&T customers.
This is not an OTA (over-the-air) update and must be accessed using Samsung KIES software on a computer.
In order to update the S3 on AT&T, users must first install the latest version of KIES on their PC or Mac and then connect the smartphone to the computer.
After this step, users can then watch this KIES instructional video that will show them how to update their firmware step by step.
Once the update procedure is completed, the Galaxy S3 should be running the Android 4.1.1 build of JellyBean and the latest TouchWiz UI available for the smartphone.
Even without the help of Android 4.1, the Galaxy S3 was able to maintain its spot as the highest selling smartphone in nations such as the U.K.
According to a ranking created by the U.K. retailer known as uSwitch, the highest selling smartphone in the nation is still the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The ranking was compiled using data from live searches, pre-orders and monthly sales and features the top 10 selling smartphones in the U.K.
The iPhone 5 not only lost to the Samsung Galaxy S3, but also sold less units than its predecessor the iPhone 4S. The Galaxy S3's predecessor, the Galaxy S2, came in fourth in the rankings, selling slightly less than Apple's iPhone 5.
The list showed the top 10 selling smartphones in the U.K.
The newly released Nexus 4 was no. 5 on the list, followed by the Samsung Galaxy Ace at no. 6, the Galaxy Note 2 at no. 7, the Galaxy Ace 2 at no. 8, Sony Xperia U at no. 9, and the HTC One X at 10.
The iPhone 5 fared a lot better in its home country, the U.S.
The handset is not only the highest selling in the nation, but allowed Apple's iOS to capture to most market share in the U.S. after losing it to Google's Android previously.
The data for this report was compiled by the research firm Kantar Worldpanel Comtech and was published by Reuters in an article.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I actually had this dress in my closet from maybe a year ago! Go figure, but it worked out perfectly for it too. I took down the wig that I used for Hawkeye normally and just took out the clip (which was surprisingly easy to get back in afterwards) so that it would just go long. I'd like to see what it might look like with the clip though. That would be cool. I found shoes for it too that were silver heels. I added on a charm bracelet and a FMA necklace with the symbol Ed has on his coat to finish it.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I put this together for the formal dance at Anime USA '09. Two of my friends were going as characters from FMA to the formal and we were planning on going as an FMA group the next day too, so I was totally on board for going formal too.
Overall, it was a lot of fun to wear and a blast to get some shots in it. ^_^

Viewers no longer have to "go it alone" while experiencing the magic of their favorite films first hand!
CEDIA EXPO 2005 - Sept. 7 -11 - Booth #512 - D -BOX® Technologies, Inc. (TSXV : DBO.A) adds to their patented line -up of motion simulator products with the introduction of the Quest™ Loveseat. An affordable alternative to their patented, award -winning Odyssee® motion simulator products, Quest seating integrates a 2 -axis motion simulator system into an exquisitely designed reclining theater chair or loveseat for the ultimate home theater experience.
The introduction of the Quest loveseat offers users additional options in configuring the seating in their home theater. Couples are no longer left in the cold and can find a cozy space next to each other while experiencing the thrill of integrated motion simulation. Additionally, the Quest loveseat provides a solution for those tight on space, offering seating with ample room for two that shaves more than a foot (in width) off of the space needed for two single Quest chairs placed side -by -side.
Motion simulation brings the excitement of home theater to an entirely new, immersive level by providing dramatic, realistic motion that is perfectly synchronized with the onscreen action and sound. Quest chairs and loveseats integrate a pair of direct -drive SynDrive™ motorized Actuators (mounted into the rear of the arms) and a front center pivot point that move and lift the seating with up to 2Gs of acceleration to transform you from mere viewer to participant.

Among the newer titles available are Million Dollar Baby, Hostage and The Aviator.
Quest seating can be controlled two ways - with the Series 3 340c Kinetron™ controller, or with a PC3 Motion Controller Interface (MCI) and PC -based software. Either control system allows for connection of up to four Quest chairs or loveseats, or any combination thereof. Both offer Internet subscription updates to the growing collection of D -BOX F/X motion codes, and include D -BOX's F/X Motion Code Volume 4 with 100 titles. Additional volumes of 100 titles each are also available.
Quest chairs and loveseats have been designed specifically to withstand the incredible motion forces and vibrations created by D -BOX's proprietary motion simulation system. They feature double -wall arm assemblies fabricated from 13 -ply European hardwood ply with hardwood solids as reinforcing cross -members. Every seating component is carefully fabricated utilizing precision machinery and lovingly hand -assembled to provide customers with seating that will give them many years of comfort, convenience and an exhilarating viewing experience.

I can't believe i have found a name for what i'm possibly suffering from and that i'm not alone.
My first boil appeared in my groin area when i was about 16/17 and i instantly put it down to being an ingrown hair from shaving. I'm 31 now and over the years i've had many outbreaks in my groin and inner thigh area.
I was always very ashamed of them and never mentioned anything to my GP about it. I would take care of them by myself by using hot salt water and various antiseptic products.
As the years have gone on though, it has got worse. They started appearing under my breasts about 2 years ago and i get the occasional one on my behind. 10 months ago one got so bad i had to visit the walk in clinic to get it checked. It was huge and had already popped before i went and obviously very infected from the fluid that came out. He took one look at it and ordered me to go to hospital for emergency surgery.
When i got there i was told i needed to have the sore cut out and the surrounding tissue under general anesthetic. I had to wait 12 hours for the procedure, during that time i had many doctors come in and out wanting to look at my groin area. They made plenty of remarks to themselves about my scarring and i even overheard one of the doctors ask the nurse to ask me if i'm injecting heroin down there. I was pretty mortified and asked if i could leave to which a doctor replied, if you leave you could die of sepsis.
After the procedure i had to visit my GP surgery daily for over 3 weeks to get the wound cleaned (they would visit me on weekends). I can't fault the aftercare.
My GP had convinced himself that it is down to diabetes and i have had 3 fasting blood tests in 10 months all coming back negative, not even borderline. I've had to take antibiotics 7 different times in 10 months. Which help briefly but do not work.
I've been told i need to lose weight and got really into exercising only to find that it caused major and intensely painful flare ups.
My GP said there was really nothing he could do in the end and just diagnosed me as having reoccurring boils due to a staph infections. I get a repeat prescription for hibiscrub which i wash the affected areas twice a day and also take hot baths in. I wear fresh clean loose fitting cotton clothes daily, wash my towels after each use and am trying to cut out possible problem foods from my diet, but still it gets worse.
I have moved just recently and have registered with a new GP and am going to make an appointment and arm myself with the information i have learned in the last few hours on the web about HS and will push for tests and swabs and to see a consultent. I've read that there is not much they can do if it is HS but atleast i'll be another silent sufferer coming forward and making the NHS more aware about this awful condition.

[0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. 12/326,995, filed Dec. 3, 2008, which issued as U.S. Pat. No. ______ on ______.
[0002] (1) Field
[0003] The present invention relates generally to heating water using solar energy and, more particularly, to an absorber formed from two identical halves of darkened glass that are fused together.
[0004] (2) Related Art
[0005] Small-scale solar water heating systems are typically constructed of an insulating housing, including a window which permits solar radiation to enter the housing, and a solar collector. Solar collectors are also known as "absorbers". Solar water heaters are generally categorized as active or passive. Active heaters pump water from a reservoir, such as a tank or pool, to the solar collector where the water is heated, then onto the desired destination. These systems require various controllers, including water flow controllers, since a relatively small volume of water resides in the solar collector, and this water, if overheated, could easily damage or destroy the delicate collector. Pool heaters and flat panel water heaters commonly seen on roofs are usually active solar heaters. As of the date of filing this application, a typical active solar water heater designed to meet most of the water heating the needs of a family of four costs approximately $7,000US to $9,000US fully installed in the US. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the annual energy expenditure for "conventionally" heating water for a family of four is approximately $400US.
[0006] Passive water heaters are generally less structurally sophisticated insofar as they lack pumping and precise water flow controllers. Instead, water is moved via the thermosiphoning effect through a large solar collector which also serves as a storage tank, then onto the desired location. A very simple version of this is found in many tropical locations, such as southern China, where uninsulated black tanks are often placed on roofs to simultaneously store and heat water. Without insulation, however, the hot water must be consumed during the solar day. As of the filing date of this application, more sophisticated passive water heaters, which are generally capable meeting heated water needs of a family of four in the US, cost approximately $7,000US installed in the Bay Area.
[0007] Many potential consumers consider solar heating systems to be cost prohibitive. This hurdle to ownership is compounded because the projected financial break-even point for solar heating systems is in the decades. Accordingly, solar heating systems are generally considered to be environmentally friendly but financially unfriendly investments. This is unfortunate given the myriad of problems associated with the consumption of non-renewable energy sources.
[0008] Copper is widely considered the material of choice in solar water heating systems. It is bendable, can be soldered and brazed, undergoes minimal corrosion, and does not pose water-related toxicity concerns. However, copper is quite expensive, trading as a commodity in the $2.00 to $4.00US range in the three years prior to filing this application. In short, the cost of copper is a major hurdle to solar heating system ownership for many consumers. In some solar heaters, aluminum may be used in place of part of the copper to reduce cost, but this adds substantially to assembly costs. The other major cost contributor to solar heating systems is the labor associated with manufacturing. Typically systems include a multitude of delicate parts that must be assembled with precision because sloppy assembly will lead to leaks and system failure.
[0009] Thus, there remains a need for a new and improved solar water heating system that is economically feasible for consumers. Ideally this system would be relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, be constructed of environmentally friendly and inexpensive materials, and not be any more difficult to install than already known solar water heating systems. This new and improved solar water heating system should also perform as well as current systems with respect to temperature and availability of water, longevity of system and aesthetics.
[0010] The present invention is directed to heating water using solar energy and, more particularly, to an absorber formed from two identical halves of molded darkened glass that are fused together.
[0011] Accordingly, one aspect of the present inventions is to provide a passive system for solar heating water that is affordable for most consumers and will pay for itself in under 10 years.
[0012] Another aspect of the present invention is to construct the system using environmentally friendly materials that are readily available.
[0013] Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide a system that is as reliable, efficacious, aesthetically pleasing and easy to install as other, much more expensive systems.
[0014] Still another aspect of the present invention is to facilitate water's capture of solar energy with cells formed of darkened glass, and facilitate movement of that water via the thermosiphoning effect.
[0015] Another aspect of the present invention is to teach a method of forming a monolithic glass absorber of two identical sides that are easy to manufacture and assemble.
[0016] These and other aspects of the present inventions will become apparent to those skilled in the art after a reading of the following description of the preferred embodiment when considered with the drawings.

[0025] FIG. 9 is a schematic top cross-sectional view of the interior of the absorbers in the preferred embodiment, schematically showing the side cross-sectional views of the absorber baffles extending therefrom as FIG. 9a.
[0026] In the following description, like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout several views.
[0027] Referring now to the drawings in general and FIG. 1 in particular, it will be understood that the illustrations are for the purpose of describing a preferred embodiment of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention thereto. As best seen in FIG. 1, system 10 includes housing 30 with housing top portion 37 oriented upwardly and housing bottom portion 38 oriented downwardly. This orientation coincides with how system 10 is intended to be mounted in situ, for example on a slanted roof, although nearly horizontal mounting would also work so long as outlet 45 is oriented on absorber upper portion 25 and inlet 40 is oriented on absorber lower portion 26, as shown in FIG. 6. Outlet sleeve 24 preferably extends through housing top portion 37. The preferred size of system 10 is approximately 4'×8'×8''.
[0028] FIG. 2 is a not-to-scale cross-sectional view taken along reference lines 2-2 of FIG. 1, depicting the orientation of absorber 20 within housing 30, and various structures associated therewith. Starting outwardly, outer pane 32 would be exposed directly to sunlight and the environment in situ, and is separated from inner pane 33 by an air gap 39 which is preferably approximately 1 to 2 inches thick. Outer pane 32 and inner pane 33 are preferably made of tempered glass, but standard glass or weather and UV resistant plastic such as SABIC Innovative Plastics' LEXAN® (polycarbonate) would also be suitable. Preferably panes 32 and 33 are approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inches thick. Panes 32 and 33 are preferably held in position by pane supports 34. Continuing inwardly, inner pane 33 is separated from upper surface 27 of absorber 20 by about 1 inch of space 18. Struts 21 connect upper surface 27 to lower surface 28 of absorber 20, best shown in FIG. 4, and define cells 22, which are best illustrated in FIGS. 3-5. Struts 21 provide integrity by preventing distortion of absorber surfaces 27 and 28 due to water pressure, while also contributing to the structural integrity of the system. Turning back to FIG. 2, optionally beneath lower surface 28 is at least one spacer 35 to help prevent the unwanted escape of heat from absorber 20. Beneath lower surface 28 (and optionally spacers 35) is insulation 36. Preferably insulation 36 is an approximately 1 to 2 inches thick layer of polyisocyanurate, but other insulators such as high temperature fiberglass would be suitable as well. Insulation 36 is adjacent housing 30. Optionally, side perimeter insulation foam 44 abuts edges of absorber.
[0029] Upper surface 27, lower surface 28 and struts 21 are all comprised substantially of glass. Glass is a very unlikely material for an absorber given its reputation as an insulator, but the inventor has unexpectedly discovered that it makes an excellent absorber. Specifically, it is inert, does not corrode, can withstand extremely high temperatures and fluctuations, and does not impart impurities or taste to water. Moreover, glass manufacturing methods are well known and easily adapted to the present invention, glass is very inexpensive (as low as $5/ton at time of filing for post-consumer scrap glass), and not susceptible to commodity price spikes. Preferably the glass is post-consumer glass containing a black pigment so it exhibits a transparency value of less than 10%, however other non-clear glass would also be suitable. Alternatively, it is possible to coat the glass with a darkening agent. Used herein, "darkened glass" shall generically refer to glass that is pigmented, non-clear, coated with a darkening agent, and/or combinations thereof. The preferred pigment is iron oxide (Fe2O3) but copper oxide, manganese oxide, nickel oxide and other metal oxides and mixtures thereof are also suitable. Iron Oxide is sometimes produced as a waste product from other industrial processes, and thus is advantageously economical and "green". An acceptable black pigmented glass could be created by combining approximately 90% scrap soda lime glass with about 7% iron oxide plus several percent of other metal oxides such as copper, manganese, or nickel oxides. In some applications of this absorber, it may be more appropriate to utilize thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass or types of glass other than recycled soda lime container glass.
[0030] Cells 22 can be square, cylindrical or hexagonal, as shown in FIGS. 3-5 respectively, noting that FIG. 4 is in cross-section. Cells 22 are substantially bordered by struts 21, with gaps 19 permitting the flow of water between cells, as necessary to achieve the thermosiphoning effect. Although not shown, struts 21 of cylindrical cells have holes through which water flows horizontally between cells. In other words, gaps 19 are defined by struts 21 for cylindrical cells, while gaps 19 for square and hexagonal cells 22 are defined by the space between struts 21.
[0031] FIG. 9 depicts the preferred embodiment and includes baffles 16 substantially perpendicular to struts 21. In this embodiment cells 22 are cylindrical and longitudinally separated by struts 21 which define gaps 19 (not shown). Baffles 16 define slots 17, which facilitate emptying of system 10 when desired for cleaning, winterizing, etc. Preferably slots traverse baffles vertically all the way from top to bottom, as shown in FIG. 9a.
[0032] Cells 22 are preferably approximately 1/2 to approximately 10 inches wide, with approximately 1 to approximately 6 inches being more preferred and approximately 2 to approximately 4 inches being most preferred. Struts 21 are preferably approximately 1/8 to approximately 1 inch thick, with approximately 1/4 to approximately 3/4 inches being more preferred and approximately 3/8 to approximately 1/2 inches being most preferred. Preferably upper surface 27 is a texturized surface 15, as shown in FIG. 4, to trap sunlight. Texturizing could be introduced after the absorber is formed, or preferably during the molding process itself. Although FIG. 4 shows only upper surface 27 texturized, it should be understood that texturized surface 15 would likewise be on lower surface 28 if texturizing were created during the molding process since both halves would be identical. Preferably struts 21 are approximately 1/2 to approximately 10 inches tall (measured from absorber upper potion 25 and absorber lower portion 26, best shown in FIG. 2), more preferably approximately 1 to approximately 6 inches tall and most preferably approximately 2 to approximately 4 inches. Preferably the outer glass thickness of absorber upper potion 25 and absorber lower portion 26 are approximately 1/16 to approximately 1 inch thick, with approximately 1/8 to approximately 5/8 inches being more preferred and approximately 1/4 to approximately 3/8 inches being most preferred.
[0033] FIG. 6 schematically depicts absorber 20 placed on a roof (without an outer insulating housing) with absorber upper portion 25 oriented upwardly, absorber lower portion 26 oriented downwardly, inlet connector 42 joined to inlet 40, and outlet connector 43 joined to outlet 45. As shown in FIG. 7, inlet connector 42 is a not an integral part of absorber 20. Rather inlet connector 42 (and outlet connector 43) slips into lip 41 of absorber 20. Connectors 42 and 43 are preferably made of glass of exactly the same composition of glass in absorber 20, and can be affixed to absorber 20 by fusion, adhesives and other conventional methods which would be long lasting and maintain integrity in the environment. As set forth in FIG. 7, flange 46 abuts the end of copper tubing 49, and is preferably secured with o-ring 48 and clamp 47. Flared channel 31, as best shown in FIG. 7, and downwardly sloping bottom 29, as best shown in FIG. 6, collectively assist in achieving complete drainage in the event the system requires manual draining for severe weather, maintenance, etc. It should be noted that the aforementioned description regarding inlet connector 42 and associated attachments and features may apply likewise to outlet connector 43, but detailed discussion of the latter have been omitted for conciseness. In situ, copper tubing 49 connected to inlet is connected to the water main, and the outlet is connected to indoor plumbing. Water is moved through system 10 when hot water tap is turned on in the building.
[0034] Housing 30 is essentially a "rectangular box" with one of the sides comprising at least one pane of glass (outer pane 32), and preferably lined on non-paned interior sides with insulation 36. The non-paned sides of housing 30 may be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, alloys, fiberglass, polymers, or combinations thereof, but anodized aluminum is the preferred material. Housing top portion 37 and housing bottom portion 38 preferably define apertures through which structures associated with inlet 40 and outlet 45 (such as, for example, inlet connector 42, outlet connector 43, flange 46, lip 41) may protrude through so to connect absorber 20 with copper tubing 49
[0035] As discussed above, the present invention is much more economical than other solar water heating systems currently available because the primary material used in its construction is glass, as opposed to copper. However, the novel manufacturing method also lowers the price of the system because the present invention does not include the complicated and labor intensive interconnection of vessels and tubes found in known systems, but rather a monolithic absorber which is comprised of two identical molded glass pieces that have been fused together to form an effective absorber. Specifically, as depicted in FIG. 8, molded glass half 60 is joined to an identical molded glass half 60 and fused along intersection plane 62. Each glass half 60 individually comprises "half struts" connected to a "surface", thereby defining "half cells" (with 5 sides for square cell embodiment), and "half gaps" associated therewith. The "surface" ultimately becomes upper surface 27 or lower surface 28, depending on whether molded glass half 60 becomes a "top" or "bottom". Corresponding parts must be aligned with precision prior to fusing to ensure, for example, "half struts" and "half gaps" are properly abutted one to another to permit desired thermosiphoning effect.
[0036] Molding and joining diagonally bisected halves to achieve offset inlet and outlet sleeves 23 and 24, as shown in FIG. 8, is preferred because it facilitates drainage. However, it would alternatively be possible to mold and join two depth- , length- or width-bisected halves to form monolithic absorber 20.
[0037] It should be understood that there is no functionality associated with using darkened glass (versus clear glass) to construct molded glass half 60 that will ultimately be the "bottom half". However, using darkened glass for both halves ("top half" and "bottom half") is preferable for ease of manufacturing, particularly given the almost negligible price associated with darkening the glass. Also, by manufacturing both top and bottom halves using glass with exactly the same composition, the final product contains a uniform coefficient of thermal expansion, in order to reduce stress during thermal cycles, both in the manufacturing process and in water heating.
[0038] Certain modifications and improvements will occur to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the foregoing description. By way of example, it is possible to use the novel glass absorber without the insulating housing as a pool water heater in place of less-durable plastic which is typically used for this application. Also it is possible to use the novel glass absorber panels as a building-integrated roofing material for heating or pre-heating water, or for removing heat from roofs in hot climates. Also, it is possible to use the glass absorbers in low volume active collectors. It should be understood that all such modifications and improvements have been deleted herein for the sake of conciseness and readability but are properly within the scope of the following claims.
