I liked this a lot!! I bought it because my hair needed some extra hydration and It does exactly that, very good! Also I applied some of it before blow drying on warm setting, and it came out very soft and shiny. The smell its not great, but it gets the job done. Im a 3a/3b with low porosity :)

I liked this at first. It's really moisturising and softening. It made my hair a little coated though. I put this down to the mineral oil which I really don't like in creamy products. I was willing to ignore that because it's very moisturising.
What I couldn't live with was the smell. Yes, it really does smell lovely. If the smell would dissipate that would have been fine. But it just keeps on going and it follows you everywhere. It's the first thing you smell when you wake up in the morning. It drove me crazy so I used the tub up quickly and did not repurchase.

It kept my hair moisturized but not well-defined at all. My hair felt and looked like like soft cotton. I like my curls to have the essential balance of definition without being too petrified or puffy. Too much softness = high frizz factor - for me, anyway. I also noticed a waxy film left on my curls. No bueno! It also does not play well with other styling products (i.e. gels especially). My hair had little white balls in it after mixing this with my EcoStyler Olive OIl Gel....so gross! I had to immediately rinse it out. I had high hopes for this :( It does keep my hair moisturized but too soft and unrefined.

I LOVE this!! I bought it when I was in AZ and needed some extra moisture. I have naturally wavy/curly hair, very fine and thin. It didn't weigh my hair down, I just used a little bit on the ends and scrunched the remaining in my hair. GREAT moisture, but if you use too much you will weigh your hair down and drag your curls out. SMELLS great, feels great and my hair loves it. The price is awesome, but what a great value for what you get. It is heavy and thick, so just use a little bit. This one will last you a long time.I would buy this again and again!

This junk made my hair fall out. My hair was growing fine and my roommate suggested that i used it. Initially it made my hair curl nicely and what not but the smell annoyed me but i put up with it. Slowly i started noticing more hairs than usual in my comb. at first i thought it was the oils i mixed together so i stopped and used plain coconut oil. Then chucks started coming out in the shower and my scalp would itch. I have fine thin hair but i started noticing it thinning out more. My mother started complaining of hair loss as well and then i realized i had bought one for her around the same time because thats all that she used. So we stopped and i did braids for the summer with castor oil and my mother continued with her bantu knots and our hair started to grow again. after 4 months of braids my hair is almost as long as where it use to be however it is still thin. I think I'm allergic to something in it. But good riddance. Now I'm stuck with a jar that i don't want

I am Caucasian but have recently found that, being my hair is color treated, very dry, thick and wiry, products geared toward Latin or Black hair work great on mine.
I use Cantu as a detangler - and it works like a charm. Even after using conditioner and serum, my comb still gets stuck in the tangles. I really HATE that. Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In eliminates all tangles like pronto and is so lightweight it never mucks up my hair. I also use this to control poofing while blow drying. Some other reviewer mentioned this doesn't coordinate well w/ other products - well, I've found quite the opposite.
Oh, and this is the KICKER. After falling in LOVE with this souffle like cream, I had a flashback. This reminds me an awful LOT of Biolage's Shaping Creme Wax, which worked fantastically as a styler and texturizer. Made your hair super smooth and wonderfully manageable. The cost - and get this - Biolage wax has been DISCONTINUED - so you can buy it for anywere from $14.00 to $50.00 on the internet). The original price was $14.00 for 4.2 ounces. Cantu Shea Leave In is 16 oz for 5-6 dollars. You do the math.

I started using this product a few months ago and I have't been happier! I have really curly hair which tend to get dry in the fall and winter. I've tried different products such as Mixed Chicks, Kinky Curls , Shea Moisture etc etc. My hair routine right now is using the Cantu shampoo once or twice a week, the Conditioner daily and this Leave-In Conditioner with a bit of coconut oil. My hair has grown a lot and is a lot healthier. It is also good on my pockets ($4-$5), you should puchase at stores like Clore or Target.

I have never been happier with a hair product in my entire life. I love this and wish I would've discovered it sooner.
After almost five years of straightening my thick curly 3b/c hair everyday, I realized how damaged it was after I tried to wear my it as a wash 'n go. It was too dry, breaking off, frizzy, and no longer curly and looked horrific. I decided to stop straightening it and used many natural products that kind of helped, but I couldn't find anything to repair, re-hydrate, and re-define my curly hair enough. My friend in school has really soft, long, defined, curly 3c hair and I asked her what she used. She named this product.
Oh my gosh. I could not believe the difference that happened so quickly in my hair. My hair was soft, shiny, frizz-free, and my curls looked amazing. The product smells awesome (like some type of tropical fruit mix), and you don't need a lot of it because it is very thick and creamy.
The directions say to apply to towel dried hair, but I find that my curls don't look as good when I do that. I recommend applying it in sections while your hair is still pretty wet (not soaking, but still dripping a bit). Then just comb it through and diffuse or let it air dry. Nothing but soft, light, bouncy curls; no tangles, no dryness, very moisturized, curls very defined. My super thick and curly hair is back to its former glory before I went on my middle/high school straightening binge.
The product does leave a slight oily residue on your hands (I've never had any in my hair), but nothing too bothersome. Also, be sure to not apply too much because it may leave your hair just slightly hard (kind of like a really light gel hold). It doesn't prevent shrinkage; my curly hair is mid-back when damp, but is a little past shoulder-length when dry. Rinsing it out in the shower leaves your hair incredibly soft and makes removing tangles super easy. The product is perfect for wash 'n go's, deep conditioning, co-washing, twist outs, etc.
I love this product and will definitely repurchase. It's made my hair so much healthier, in a cost effective and low-maintainence way. I picked it up at my local CVS for $5.99, but I've seen at other places (Wal-Mart, Walgreen's, Sally's, etc.) for less. I'm black and Filipino with a Filipino mother (who has 2b hair), and we both use this with awesome results. I highly recommend it to anyone of any hair type.

I'm in love with this product. I don't have time for no crazy hair regimen so...I saw this in Wal-Mart and picked it up. I also needed something moisturizing for my daughters hair. They are mixed with afrolatina and el Salvador ( white ). So I thought this would work for my hair and theirs even though all three of us have different hair to types. It really does work. I brought this in the spray form. I just got mirco braids that were so dang tight on my scalp. Jeezz. Eh. Anyway I noticed 2 inches of growth in 3 weeks. That's crazy. It think it's this spray because I never experienced this before. And my daughters already have long hair but we noticed even more unexplained growth. I'm happy but confused.

Schools in Saudi Arabia are testing distance learning mediums lest they're forced to shut down due to H1N1 cases, reports Arab News.
November 23, 2009 11:39 by Marriam Mossalli
With middle school implementing TeacherWeb and high school using NESA Blackboard, it can seem a little overwhelming, especially for parents who are barely computer literate.
For elementary students, it is even more complicated. The program is a multitiered approach that combines pen and paper packets, the school's website and consistent communication among parents, students and faculty.
"Elementary is very unique, and we have to think of developmental appropriateness," said Deborah Caskey, the elementary school principal.
Bradford Barnhardt, middle school principal, said the school is trying its best to simplify access and equip parents and students with the necessary tools for distance learning.
Gil Bruiones, high school principal, stated that it is imperative students are accountable for their work.
"The goal is to provide effective and dynamic collaboration between teachers and students," he said, asking parents to do everything in their power to ensure 100 percent participation.
Yet as of Sunday, the sixth grade was still unable to use the login passwords provided by the faculty. Both faculty members and parents hope that the trial run will not only allow AISJ to take the necessary measures to tackle any technical issues, but also address the many areas of concern from parents.
Some parents wondered whether any sort of tuition reimbursement would be given if distance learning were to replace classroom learning in the event of a swine flu related closure. Others voiced concern about their ability to handle the academic responsibilities of guiding their children's education from home.
A teacher mentioned that in her class of 23 students, three to six are absent on any given day from flu-like symptoms. Therefore, the virtual schooling exercise seems less like a precaution and more like an inevitable reality.

I think h1n1 flu was a conspiracy by the vaccination companies. But many of my friends also believe that it was designed to kill people, however I think it was just hyped by the media who were influenced by all those corporations that sold the vaccinations to the many different governments! Do you guys agree??

- I've removed "explosive" from your most recent edit; however much accurate, such an adjective could be incendiary given the subject unless you quote and cite a recognized expert (see WP:POV). Also, Zapruder's current appearance within Ike Altgens is appropriate; please remember that Altgens' article is not an assassination article and peripheral data must be germane. For example, while Altgens appears in Zapruder's film, there is no evidence that Altgens made any images of Zapruder.

Ike Altgens[edit]
Sorry, but this edit was reverted. Please see my edit summary here. :) —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 20:12, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- To be more specific, the image you placed in Zapruder film is Z371, in which Jackie "reaching" and Clint Hill "climbing" can be considered fair adjectives. Altgens7 corresponds roughly to Z395-396, where Jackie has already turned and moved forward and Hill is already aboard and reaching toward her. Cheers. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 20:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Recess Monkey's 'Wired' Tour Arrives in Philly Area This June
Inspired by the breathtaking creativity and inventiveness of today's DIY kids, kindie music icon Recess Monkey celebrates "maker" culture with the band's eleventh studio recording, Wired. Recess Monkey's Wired Tour brings the rocking trio of Seattle teachers to the Philadelphia area for two high-voltage, all ages shows at 7:00 p.m on Saturday, June 28 at Longwood Gardens, 1001 Longwood Rd., Kennett Square and 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 29 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia.
Families should be ready for more disco dancing, knock-knock jokes and insanely catchy sing-alongs than you can shake a drumstick at, with every song powered by Recess Monkey's trademark, pitch-perfect understanding of what gets kids excited. In addition to a healthy charge of "gadget rock" tunes from Wired like "Take Your Kid To Work Day," "Wired," "Skee Ball," and "Brick by Brick," Recess Monkey will offer a "greatest hits" collection of singable, danceable, thinkable, and dreamable songs from nine year's worth of over-the-top previous albums.
Kids and their grownups will zoom around the lawn with Jack Forman, Drew Holloway, and Korum Bischoff on "Jet Pack," pull on their "Moon Boots" for a space-age, zero gravity moon bounce, laugh at the most outrageous knock-knock jokes on "Knocktopus," rip into a foot-stomping hoedown with "Flapjacks," and pop around the dance floor while the band gets popping on "Popcorn."
Watch Recess Monkey in action on their Youtube channel HERE.
When not rocking out with Recess Monkey, Jack Forman serves as a popular on-air personality on SiriusXM's Kids Place Live, where his daily call-in show, Live From the Monkey House, is a hysterical mashup of game show segments, kid callers, special musical guests, and the best kids' and family music out there! Jack is really excited about greeting his Live From the Monkey House fans "up close and personal" after each of the Philly area shows.
Putting a razor-sharp, fantastical edge on the sense of wonder and exploration that's at the heart of "the everyday lives of kids," Recess Monkey weaves puns, jokes, stories, and shenanigans into its shows. No play on words is too much of a stretch, and no rhyming schemes are too out of bounds for the group's genre-bending cascade of catchy ditties that NPR described as "inventive, brilliant, multilayered." Audiences unanimously hail Recess Monkey's live shows "a great way to spend an hour rocking out!"
Ten Recess Monkey songs have reached #1 on SiriusXM's Kids Place Livechart. Time Magazine celebrated Recess Monkey's "tight, smart, acclaimed original songs ... and seriously grooving funk." Explained kids' music authority Stefan Shepherd (Zooglobble.com), "Recess Monkey just keeps turning out album after album with pop nuggets, as if we'd just discovered that The Beatles had recorded a ton of kids' music 40+ years ago."
Wired will be available at recessmonkey.com, amazon.com, cdbaby.com, theAVCafe.com, bigkids.com, iTunes, bandcamp.com, Silver Platters, Sonic Boom Records, and Barnes & Noble.

Does exactly what is says it does!,
This review is from: 7lbs in 7 Days Super Juice Diet (Paperback)
If you have read Jason Vales books before, then you will know that this guys approach to writing is very casual. It's also very easy to read and surprisingly more(ish)! The first half of the book is designed to make you understand why you are juicing, why it works and why it's good for you and tries to cover just about every scenario that you're likely to use to stop yourself completing the juice week.
All that said, I felt really apprehensive about starting this diet and not eating for a week, but I couldn't have been more wrong!! The lack of food is just psychological; this plan is just about not using your teeth for a week! In fact I had more meals more regularly than I do normally. I never at any point felt hungry because the juices definitely make a meal. Some of the juices are nicer than others (as you would expect) but some juices you would think are terrible because they are full of greens, surprising turned out to be my favourites. I felt so happy with the plan, at the end of the week I could happily have carried on.
To give myself the best opportunity to succeed I tried to make things as easy as possible. I followed the plan pretty much to the letter and I made up a simple wallchart for the kitchen, although I think JuiceMaster sell these now. This really made it much easier to follow. The fruit and veg for a week cost me about �45, which is less than I would normally spend on food.
The book does exactly (if not more) what it says it does! Here's the big one, I lost 12lbs in a week and I've kept it off! I feel more energetic and much better for it. It's definitely a book that got me back into juicing. I think the book is geared more towards people who are new to juicing but if you have fallen off the juicing wagon this book is just as good for you! Get it, you'll have a much better summer after reading/doing the juicing plan!

A tobacco smoke filter includes a smoke pervious rod of plastic material about which a smoke impervious plastic overwrap film is extruded. In the preferred embodiment, the overwrap and the rod are made of the same material, e.g., cellulose acetate. By using the same material, waste from the normal filter-making processes can be formed into granules or pellets and rendered molten for re-cycling as the raw material for the overwrap film. The resulting filter can be used with or without a tipping paper cover and can be perforated or not, as desired, to ventilate the filter rod.
1. A method of making smoke filters comprising the steps of:
providing a filtering material including a multiplicity of fibrous cellulose acetate members;
defining an elongated bonding zone;
continuously feeding said filtering material through said bonding zone;
feeding a bond-activating agent into contact with said filtering material in said bonding zone to bond said fibrous members to each other to form an elongated, smoke permeable, generally cylindrical filter rod member having at least one transverse dimension of predetermined length and defining a tortuous path for passage of smoke therethrough; and
extruding a thin film of cellulose acetate material about said filter rod member to provide a smoke impervious overwrap having a thickness which is at least 100 times smaller than said predetermined length.
This patent application is a divisional application of my co-pending application Ser. No. 444,056, filed Nov. 23, 1982, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,014,199, and entitled "Smoke Filter Having Extended Film Overwrap And Method And Apparatus For Fabricating Same", which is a continuation-in-part of my copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 333,815, filed Dec. 23, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,912, and entitled "Free Air Dilution Smoke Filter And Method And Apparatus For Fabricating Same" and my copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 333,802, filed Dec. 23, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,423,744, and entitled "Tobacco Smoke Filter Contoured To Provide Undiluted Air Flow And Method And Apparatus For Manufacturing Same". The disclosures in these copending patent applications are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, the subject matter of the following patents and patent application is expressly incorporated herein by reference with respect to the descriptions of the method and apparatus for fabricating the filter of the present invention: U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,637,447; 4,046,063; and 4,075,936; and my U.S. patent application Ser. No. 261,690, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,637,409.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to filter elements and the method and apparatus for fabricating such filter elements. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved overwrap for a tobacco smoke filter which considerably reduces filter fabrication costs without introducing undesirable side effects.
Although the present invention is primarily concerned with producing filter means for cigarettes, it should be noted that the products of the present invention are generally useful as filters for any tobacco smoking means, whether they be cigarettes, cigars, pipes, etc. Since filters for cigarettes have particular commercial importance, the preferred embodiments described herein relate to the production of filtered cigarettes.
2. The Prior Art
In fabricating filters for use in connection with cigarettes and the like, a number of different properties of the resultant filter must be taken into consideration. While filtration efficiency (i.e., the ability of the filter to remove undesirable constituents from the tobacco smoke) is a very important property of cigarette filters, filtration efficiency must frequently be compromised in order for the filter to possess a commercially acceptable combination of other properties, including pressure drop, taste, hardness, appearance and cost. For example, the most commonly utilized cigarette filter material, cellulose acetate, has a relatively low filtration efficiency; however, this material has a commercially acceptable overall combination of properties.
The relatively poor filtration efficiency of cellulose acetate has resulted in a long but unsuccessful search for an acceptable substitute. A wide variety of different materials have been tried, including paper, polypropylene, and others, but all have been rejected primarily because they introduce an unacceptable taste to the smoker. It has been found that the taste of cigarette smoke is extremely sensitive to the filter material and to foreign substances in or in contact with the filter material. Even in cases where filters have been modified with plastic tubes or other ingredients, the resulting taste has proven to be commercially objectionable.
In spite of the objectionable taste introduced into smoke by paper, it is the most economical and commercially viable material for plug wrap or overwrap material used to circumscribe a cellulose acetate filter rod. The use of paper overwrap is clearly a compromise of the filter taste property. In order to avoid this compromise in taste, attempts have been made to change the filter structure, the filter material, and the overwrap material; all have been commercially unacceptable. Attempts have also been made to eliminate the overwrap entirely; however, these have been unsuccessful because, without an overwrap, the fabrication machines cannot be operated at high speeds.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a smoke filter with an overwrap which does not introduce unpleasant taste to the filtered smoke.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a smoke filter with an overwrap which can be applied inexpensively and without introducing undesirable properties for the final filter product.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a smoke filter overwrap material which permits production rates to be increased.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for fabricating a smoke filter with an overwrap material which achieves the objects and advantages described above.
In accordance with the present invention, a plug wrap or overwrap for a smoke filter rod takes the form of a smoke-impervious plastic film extruded about the rod. The resulting overwrapped filter can be used with or without tipping paper; if tipping is used, the taste of the smoke is unaffected because the smoke-impervious film eliminates contact between the paper and the smoke. Preferably, the film is made from the same material as the filter such as cellulose acetate, so as to avoid introducing taste variations. Utilizing the same material in the filter rod and overwrap also has the advantage of permitting re-cycling of the waste filter material for use as the overwrap film. Plasticizers of the type which are conventionally used in filter rods to bond fibers to one another serve to completely adhere the bonded fibers to the film, thereby eliminating the need for adhesive to hold the fibers to the overwrap. Elimination of this adhesive material reduces the cost and removes another foreign material that can adversely affect taste.
The resulting filter has the advantages of: isolating the filter material from taste-contaminating foreign matter; cost saving of material as compared to paper overwrap; and a higher production rate.
The above and still further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of specific embodiments thereof, especially when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of one form of cigarette produced in accordance with the present invention, the tipping paper being partially torn away for illustrative clarity;
FIG. 2 is a view in section through the filter rod of FIG. 1 taken along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view in perspective of another filter in accordance with the present invention with the tipping paper once again being partially torn away for illustrative clarity;
FIG. 4 is a view in section of a filter rod constructed in accordance with the present invention wherein ventilation holes are provided in the tipping paper and filter overwrap;
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of a method and apparatus for fabricating filter elements in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a partially schematic view in section of an extrusion apparatus for applying plug wrap to the filter rod in the method and apparatus illustrated in FIG. 5.
Referring to the drawings with greater specificity and, particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, a filtered cigarette according to the present invention is generally designated by the reference numberal 10. Cigarette 10 includes a tobacco rod 12 and a filter element 14 constructed in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. A ring of tipping paper 16 joins the tobacco rod 12 and filter element 14 in axially aligned end-to-end abutment. The tipping paper 16 has a relatively short axial length and extends only a short axial distance along the tobacco rod 12 and the filter element 14. The whole purpose for the tipping paper 16 is to join the tobacco rod 12 and filter element 14; other means of joining these two members may be employed.
The filter element 14 is a generally cylindrical plug of conventional tobacco smoke filter material and is typically made from continuous tow of cellulose acetate filamentary material. It should be noted, however, that other filter material may be employed with slight modifications. For example, filamentary tow formed of other materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and the like, or even non-woven staple fibers may be used. It should be understood, however, that cellulose acetate filamentary tow is the preferred material from a commercial standpoint. In this sense, filter plug 14 is fabricated from conventional material to function as a smoke-pervious filter plug for trapping solid particulates in the smoke passing therethrough. Filter plug or rod 14 is circumscribed along its entire length by a smoke-impervious or non-porous plug wrap or overwrap 18. The unique aspect of the filter of the present invention resides in the fact that the overwrap 18 is extruded about the filter plug 14 in the form of a film. In the preferred embodiment, if the filter material is cellulose acetate filamentary tow, then the extruded film is made of cellulose acetate also. In general, the preferred embodiment of the present invention employs the same material for the filter rod and the filter overwrap.
It is important to note that the overwrap film 18 is strictly that, namely, an overwrap. It should not be confused with prior art attempts to extrude entire filter structures, which attempts have proven largely unacceptable from a commercial point of view. Thus, whereas the filter rod 14 has a diameter on the order of 0.25 inches, the thickness of the overwrap film 18 is on the order of 0.25 mils to 2.5 mils and is therefore between 100 and 1,000 times less than the filter rod diameter.
By using an extruded film overwrap having the same material as the filter rod itself, the chance of any foreign ingredients coming into contact with the smoke is virtually nil. Moreover, by introducing conventional plasticizers such as triacetin or any other conventional plasticizer used in cigarette filters, complete adherence of the bonded fibers to the film is assured. This eliminates the need for a separate adhesive material which is required to hold paper overwrap to a filter rod. This not only reduces the cost of the adhesive material but also eliminates another bond of material which could contact and contaminate the taste of the smoke.
A considerable material cost saving is provided when the film overwrap is made from the same material as is employed for making the filter rod. Specifically, using the same material permits re-cycling of the waste from the normal filter-making process. If the filter material is cellulose acetate, for example, all of the waste in making the filter rod is conventional acetate without paper overwrap. This cellulose acetate waste can be formed into granules or pellets and extruded as the overwrap film. This re-cycling is not possible if there is paper contamination in the cellulose acetate waste because molding-grade resin can not be achieved with paper contamination present.
The use of tipping paper 16, as illustrated in FIG. 1, may be dispensed with if another technique for bonding the filter rod 14 to the tobacco rod 12 is employed. In either case, the portion of the cigarette which contacts the lips of the smoker is the overwrap material 18 which is smooth and does not stick to the smoker's lips as does paper coating. In addition, the overall surface character of the filter is commercially advantageous with respect to paper overwrap. It should also be noted that the thin film provides structural strength so as to permit high speed filter fabrication operation. Even a very thin film overwrap is sufficient to compress an oversized rod and provide the structural strength necessary for both high speed production and desirable smoking characteristics.
Although the cigarette illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 has no provision for air ventilation of the filter, it is clear that holes may be provided in the overwrap film 18 in order to provide ventilation communication between the filter rod 14 and ambient air.
The cigarette filter embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3 shows a tipping paper overwrap circumscribed about the entire length of the extruded overwrap film 18, as well as a portion of the tobacco rod 12. In all other respects, the filter arrangement of FIG. 3 is identical to that illustrated and described in FIG. 1. It is possible, of course, to deform the filter rod of FIG. 3 in the manner described in my copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 333,802, in which case the tipping paper 20, suitably provided with ventilation holes, defines a ventilation passage with the deformed portion of the filter rod. The result is air dilution of the smoke, a feature which has gained some popularity in the tobacco industry in recent years.
Referring to FIG. 4 specifically of the accompanying drawings, a filter rod such as that illustrated in FIG. 3, is shown in section and is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes extending through the paper tipping 20 and the film overwrap 18. As noted above, the tipping paper 20 can be eliminated and the holes can extend through the overwrap film 18 alone. The holes serve to admit air into the smoke as the smoker draws on the exposed end of the filter rod, thereby providing a degree of air dilution determined by the number and size of the apertures. The overwrap film can be perforated at the same time that the tipping paper 20 is perforated by any techniques well known in the prior art for this purpose. However, the most uniform perforation method is with lasers.
A method and apparatus for fabricating the filter elements of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 5, to which specific reference is now made. Basically, the fabrication technique is similar in many respects to the techniques described and illustrated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,637,447; 4,046,063; 4,075,936; and U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 261,690, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,637,409, and 333,802, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,423,744. The filtering material utilized in the production of filter elements is a continuous filamentary tow designated generally by the reference numeral 40. This filamentary tow 40 includes a multiplicity of bondable fibrous members activated by contact with a hot fluid such as steam. Filtering material 40 is continuously passed into and through an elongated bonding zone which includes a conventional stuffer jet 41 and steam head 42, similar in nature to those illustrated and described in the various above-mentioned patents and patent applications. Following the steam treatment, the resulting rod is cooled at cooling head 43 before being passed through a pulling device 51. Upon leaving the pulling device, the unwrapped rod is passed to a vacuum chamber 82 after which the rod is passed to an extruder and tube dye 83, the latter being described in greater detail below with reference to FIG. 6.
In the extruder and tube dye 83, a film of plastic material is extruded over the filter rod so as to conform to the exact shape of the rod. Any suitable smoke-impervious plastic film may be utilized for this purpose and, in the preferred embodiment, is cellulose acetate. The wrapped rod then passes through a water bath 84 to a pulling device 85 before being cut into individual filter plugs at cutter head 86.
Referring specifically to FIG. 6 of the accompanying drawings, the vacuum chamber 82 is illustrated with the unwrapped rod 87 passing through a bore 88 extending longitudinally therethrough. The inlet end 89 of bore 88 is flared to provide a flow outlet which expands in the direction opposite the translation direction of rod 87. Bore 88 is somewhat larger in diameter than the diameter of rod 87 so that air can flow in an annular path through bore 88 in opposition to rod movement. In order to withdraw air from bore 88, an annular nozzle is provided at the point where bore 88 begins to flare in portion 89. The annular nozzle is fed by air under pressure which aspirates air from the bore 88 and out through the flared outlet 89. As a consequence, an extremely low pressure is provided in bore 88. A portion of the vacuum chamber 82 extends into the extruder and tube dye member 83 such that bore 88 communicates coaxially with a similarly provided bore 90 in the tube dye and extruder member 83. Rod 87 passes through bore 90 which is aspirated by the annular nozzle 91 in the same manner as bore 88.
Plastic is fed into the tube dye and extruder member 83 by a nozzle 92 which feeds the plastic in its molten form to an annular nozzle 94 disposed concentrically about the outlet of bore 90. The low pressure region formed around rod 87 in bore 90 causes the annular flow of plastic film from the nozzle 94 to surround and conform to the rod as the rod egresses from the tube dye and extruder member 83. This plastic film 95 constitutes the plug wrap 18 described above in relation to the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1-4.
The method described in relation to FIGS. 5 and 6, whereby the vacuum draws the plastic film to the exact shape of the filter rod and permits the smoke-impermeable film to conform to the deformed rod, is considerably cheaper than the conventional plug wrap approach wherein paper is used as the plug wrap. The film 95 is generally extruded to a thickness between 0.25 mils and 2.5 mils, the thickness being controlled by varying the speed ratio between the formed rod and the extruder film.
As noted above, when the filter material 40 and the film 95 are the same, any waste material which is formed during the normal manufacturing process can be re-cycled as the extruded overwrap film 95.
Although the filter rod formed as part of the process illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 is cylindrical, the cylindrical periphery can be deformed in the manner described in my aforementioned copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 333,802, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,423,744, and in my copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 333,815, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,912, in order to achieve air dilution characteristics for the filter.
The apparatus for forming the filter according to the present invention runs more efficiently than do prior art filter fabricating machines because there is no requirement to slow down or stop to change the plug wrap. In fact, with tow splicing equipment incorporated, the machines are capable of running at 100% efficiency around the clock.
Another advantage to using cellulose acetate film as an overwrap for the cellulose acetate tow material is that it may be formulated with a plasticizer to produce a flexible film which prevents formation of air pockets associated with tipping in the paper-wrapped filters. These pockets are caused by the differential in size between the filter and the cigarette. Since paper does not conform, it wrinkles and causes these air pockets to form. The thin film-wrapped filters of the present invention, however, do not require the close circumferential tolerance required by paper-wrapped filters. Using the present invention, I have found that cellulose acetate filter rods of 100 millimeter length can be wrapped at a material cost of 6� per thousand rods. The least expensive paper wrap has a material cost of 15� per thousand rods and sometimes varies as high as 30� per thousand rods, without even considering the cost of glue and other additives employed in conjunction with the paper wrap to produce a satisfactory filter.
In addition to the cellulose acetate, an alternative material which is suitable for use for the plastic film overwrap 18 is Surlyn which is an ionomer sold by DuPont. An ionomer is an ionically crosslinked thermoplastic polymer. The Surlyn ionomer resins are derived from ethylene/methacrylic acid copolymers. This material is a heat seal polymer with high clarity, melt strength and solid state toughness and resistance to oil/fat permeation. Surlyn is available as either a sodium or zinc ionomer, and although all grades generally offer the above properties when compared to other heat-seal polymers, sodium ionomers are known for exceptional toughness and resistance to fats and oils while zinc ionomers exhibit outstanding adhesion to unprimed foil and possess excellent chemical resistance.
Another possible material for the film overwrap is Elvax, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin manufactured by DuPont. The vinyl acetate units in the copolymer modify the basic polyethylene structure and properties. By varying the vinyl acetate content and the molecular weight (melt index), properties can be tailored for specific applications.
A variety of different materials can be employed, but it must be stressed that the advantage of using the same material for the overwrap as for the filter rod provides both cost advantages and taste advantages which are not possible in the prior art.
It will be apparent to those familiar with this art that there has been described and illustrated herein a smoke filter and method and means for manufacturing such filter which satisfy various objectives set forth hereinabove and which provide significant commercial advantages.
While I have described and illustrated various embodiments of my invention, it will be clear that variations of the details of construction which are specifically illustrated and described may be resorted to without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

That's why I've never understood why some diners wait as long as two hours to get a table at the Cheesecake Factory, where the food is tasty but hardly remarkable. I mean, after two hours, wouldn't you expect four-star cuisine rather than oversized burgers, mashed-potato omelets and a 1,560-calorie slice of cheesecake? If I'm not working, I'll happily go to a less-crowded joint rather than endure a trendy boîte's packed bar. Yes, I prefer civilized restaurants -- the kind that take reservations.
Johnson County's current hot restaurant, the one-month-old Mimi's Café, isn't uncivilized, but it's not going to start taking reservations until November. The corporate policy, issued from its California headquarters, is that the free-standing restaurants don't take reservations for the first two months they're open, and only for parties of six or more after that. Why should they? The minute the newest Mimi's -- number 66 in the fast-growing chain -- opened at Oak Park Mall, customers were happily waiting 90 minutes for a table.
But the wait times seem to be decreasing. I waited only forty minutes on a busy Friday night and just twenty minutes when I dragged three friends for a late Sunday supper.
The delay is relatively painless, thanks to a spacious waiting area where a bartender or a manager will, upon request, gladly run out with a cocktail or an appetizer. It's also a perfect place to eavesdrop on hilarious conversations. One young couple gazed in awe at the décor. "It looks like it belongs, you know, on a mountain!" marveled the male. "Yes! In Paris!" echoed his mate.
Huh? A mountain at EuroDisney, maybe. The brand-new building is done up in a quasi-cottage style, with cream-colored stucco walls and lots of rustic (phony-looking) knick-knacks, some reminiscent of the Shirley Temple version of Heidi, others from Irma La Douce. Rooster-inspired plates, cookie jars and gee-gaws clutter one area; in another hang French signs and posters and, ooh la la, a painting evoking the spirit of both the Moulin Rouge and Hanna-Barbera.
"What exactly is this restaurant supposed to be?" my friend Bob asked our waiter, an apple-cheeked youth nattily attired in a black-and-white-striped bistro apron. The kid was thrilled with a chance to rattle off the company line.
"We offer classic American homemade food with a little of the flavor of France and New Orleans," he said. Mercifully, he didn't go into the corporate myth behind the name, which weaves together a tale of World War II, an American spy, a French girl named Mimi and artichoke hearts.
Puccini's Mimi, the heroine of La Bohème, wouldn't recognize the "French flavor" of the décor or the menu at Mimi's Café. Despite Gallic-sounding names for a couple of dishes, the place is a straightforward American diner. But local patrons can sing an aria or two over the restaurant's primary lure: Mimi's gives frugal consumers a lot of coup pour le mâle. For prices comparable to Applebee's, TGI Fridays or, yes, the Cheesecake Factory, the portions are huge, the service is genial and the stuff that comes out of the kitchen actually tastes good.
There's not a meal that costs more than $14, and dinners include a petite salad or one of three hearty soups. A delicious French onion steams under a thick blanket of mozzarella cheese, and the creamy corn chowder tastes as if the corn had just been husked. But this isn't some rural luncheonette or country café. The appetizers cost nearly as much as a dinner entrée and aren't nearly as filling, though I did find that a crock of taupe-colored spinach-and-artichoke dip took the edge off as we waited for a table. The pile of Cajun popcorn shrimp wasn't particularly generous, but everyone seemed to love the greasy, crunchy miniature crustaceans, freshly netted from some bubbling deep fryer. They weren't a bad snack, but the flavor was hardly Cajun -- the golden breading was no more spicy than the wedge of watermelon on the same plate.
On my first visit, my friends and I sat in a beamed dining room. A stuffed pheasant perched over my head. As I buttered a slice of freshly baked carrot-raisin bread, I noted that the musical soundtrack -- 1940s standards by Sinatra, Ella, Rosemary Clooney and Nat King Cole -- was as nostalgia-heavy as the menu.
Unlike most of its corporate contemporaries, Mimi's Café serves on a daily basis such pre-WWII favorites as grilled liver and onions, chicken pot pie and turkey with dressing. A tender pot roast comes drenched in a thick gravy and sided with a mound of fresh green beans sautéed in garlic and butter. Thick slices of Midwestern-issue meat loaf are baked in a tangy Southern-style barbecue sauce (thick with corn syrup, ketchup and molasses), then grilled, splashed with more sauce and served with a steaming heap of buttery mashed potatoes.
There are slightly more exotic choices too: a chicken-and-fruit salad that combines a stack of iceberg lettuce, a wedge of watermelon, a chunk of honeydew and a slab of cantaloupe alongside a slightly dry chicken breast "blackened" with a crust of sinus-clearing spices (a heavy dose of cayenne with garlic powder, paprika and celery salt). And a chicken stir-fry is available in two non-French variations: Chinese, which is sweet with soy and an apricot sauce; or the vastly superior Thai, which is gingery with a hint of peanut sauce and lots of fresh cilantro.
On our return visit, my friend Debbie began to expect the worst as soon as she sat down and noticed spotty, dirty knives on the pastel napkins. "This is not a good sign," she said. Looking at the menu, she proclaimed that Mimi's would be "two steps above Denny's and two steps below the Cheesecake Factory."
But the nasty knives were whisked away by a savvy waitress named Jenna (a corporate trainer who will soon move on to Florida and her next Mimi's Café opening). The rest of the meal was flawless.
Debbie even raved about her bowl of Artie's Fettuccine, a wildly rich concoction of pasta, cream, Parmesan, fat artichoke hearts, pink shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes.
Though I'd barely made a dent in anything I ordered, I was stuffed after both visits. Unfortunately, this forced me to wave away the dessert tray. It's a visually appealing load of pastry props (made from God only knows what) that resemble the actual desserts, almost all of which are imported "from the company's corporate prep kitchen," according to one chatty manager. But the big slab of New Orleans bread pudding, dotted with raisins and glazed in a warm whisky-flavored syrup, is made in this restaurant's kitchen. That and the other doughy things on the menu caught my eye: a pain perdu stuffed with cream cheese and marmalade or the San Francisco version, made with a sourdough baguette.
A return visit might force me to spend another forty minutes listening to Hit Parade tunes from 1954 and drinking in the fake-French scenery. Mon Dieu!

EDIT: The question should be clearer now.
I haven't used python since my first semester so bare with me. I need to animate data as they come with a 2D histogram2d ( maybe later 3D but as I hear mayavi is better for that ).
Here's the code. Pretty simple:
import numpy as np
import numpy.random
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import time, matplotlib
# Generate some test data
x = np.random.randn(50)
y = np.random.randn(50)
heatmap, xedges, yedges = np.histogram2d(x, y, bins=5)
extent = [xedges[0], xedges[-1], yedges[0], yedges[-1]]
# start counting for FPS
tstart = time.time()
for i in range(10):
x = np.random.randn(50)
y = np.random.randn(50)
heatmap, xedges, yedges = np.histogram2d(x, y, bins=5)
plt.imshow(heatmap, extent=extent)
# calculate and print FPS
print 'FPS:' , 20/(time.time()-tstart)
It returns 3 fps, too slow apparently. Is it the use of the numpy.random in each iteration? Should I use blit? If so how?
The docs have sone nice examples but for me I need to understand what everything does.
Any ideas or input for this would be appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time and patience.
