Ohmic contacts are attached to n-type Gallium Arsenide with an alloy of Aluminum-Germanium. The contact is prepared by depositing by evaporation a sequence of 400 Angstroms of Germanium, 300 Angstroms of Nickel, and 2000 Angstroms of Aluminum and subsequent alloying.
1. A ohmic contact metallization for use on semiconductor compounds comprising Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), the metallization comprising:
an alloyed ensemble of Germanium and Aluminum with sufficient Nickel to provide effective wetting and attachment for the Al and Ge to the GaAs upon alloying.
2. The metallization of claim 1 further including an additional first metal interconnect layer of at least 2000 Angstroms of Al atop the alloyed ensemble.
3. The metallization of claim 1 wherein the ensemble consists essentially of about 400 Angstroms of Ge, then about 300 Angstroms of Ni and then about 2000 Angstroms of Al, with the Ge being the layer adjacent the GaAs.
4. The metallization of claim 1 wherein the alloying is conducted at about 500� C. for a period of from 1 to 30 minutes in a reducing gas atmosphere.
5. The metallization of claim 1 wherein the region of the GaAs underlying the alloyed ensemble has a peak impurity concentration of n-type impurity ions of at least about 1017 cm-3 prior to alloying.
This invention relates to the fabrication of ohmic contacts to n-type Gallium Arsenide. More particularly, this invention relates to such ohmic contacts which are fabricated from an alloy of Aluminum and Germanium.
Contact resistance to n-type Gallium Arsenide is an important process and design parameter for the advancing Gallium Arsenide integrated circuit technology. The Ni-capped, Gold Germanium (12%) eutectic ohmic contact alloy was first introduced by Braslau (N. Braslau, J.B. Gunn and J. L. Staples, "Metal-Semiconductor Contacts for GaAs Bulk Effect Devices." Solid State Electronics, Vol. 10, page 381, 1967) and is now extensively used for Au-Ge-Ni contacts with a variety of techniques and compositions. The eutectic temperature is listed as 356� C. (M. Hansen, Constitution of Binary Alloys, page 97, McGraw Hill Book Company, Inc., New York, 1958) and alloy temperatures up to 450� C. are used to form the ohmic contacts. To complete the ohmic contacts and form the first level of metal interconnects, an overlay of 2500 Angstroms of Au is employed with a thin interspaced layer of Pt or Ti for improved adhesion.
While these contacts have good ohmic properties for device and integrated circuit application, there is room for improvement. For example, Au as a high atomic mass element (197) will tend to absorb relatively more X-ray energy than would a lighter element, leading to deterioration of conductivity. This can have significant consequences in a high energy radiation environment.
The ohmic contacts of this invention have been fabricated to n-type Gallium Arsenide with an alloy of Aluminum Germanium which has a eutectic temperature of 424� C. with 53 weight percent Germanium. The lowest contact resistance of 1.4�10-6 ohm-cm2 for the contact was measured with a transfer length transmission line structure. In the specific embodiment, the substrate material was LEC grown semi-insulating Gallium Arsenide without intentional doping, with upper Si+ ion implanted n-type layers. A typical peak impurity concentration is in the range of 1017 to 1018 cm-3. Rapid thermal anneal at 825� C. was used to activate the ion implantations. The contact itself was prepared by a series of evaporations in the sequence of 400 Angstroms of Germanium, 300 Angstroms of Nickel and 2000 Angstroms of Aluminum. A contact resistance of 1.4�10-6 ohm-cm2 was obtained at 500� C. After alloying, another layer of Aluminum approximately 2500 Angstroms thick was deposited on top of the alloyed contact and serves as the first level interconnection.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional diagrammatic view of the ensemble of metallization on top of the Gallium Arsenide layers prior to the alloying step; and
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the dependence of the specific contact resistance upon the n-doping concentration in the substrate, here silicon ions.
Although the invention will be described hereinafter in the context of a preferred embodiment, the true scope of the invention will be found in the appended claims The invention was implemented in a matrix of 50 JFET's with devices of 1 micron channel length and 15 micron channel width. The matrix was fabricated by a lift-off process utilizing the Aluminum Germanium contacts of this invention. The Gallium Arsenide JFET's were fabricated by a known process. See G. Troeger and J. Notthoff, "A Radiation-Hard Low-Power GaAs Static Ram Using E-JFET Spaced DCFL." GaAs IC Symp. Technical Digest, page 78, 1983. Only a first level metal interconnect was used, the devices were measured by point contact probes to source entering the contacts in the array, and only the gates were connected with one micron lines to a common large area pad. The threshold voltage of a typical enhancement mode JFET in the array was +0.3 volts, and the transconductance was 120 ms/mm. The average values of transistor values in the matrix and their standard deviations were:
VT =(+0.36�0.04) volts
IDS =(503�76) micro amps (at VG =+1 v)
gm =(106�8) mS/mm (at VG =+1 v)
The contacts were prepared by conventional evaporation techniques in the sequence of 400 Angstroms of Germanium, 300 Angstroms Nickel and 200 Angstroms of Aluminum For the substrate material, LEC grown semi-insulating Gallium Arsenide without intentional doping was used with Si+ ion implanted n-type layers. A typical peak impurity concentration is in the range of 1017 to 1018 cm-3 . This sequence is shown in FIG. 1 in which region 10 is the semi-insulated substrate, the region 12 is the ion implanted n-type layer, layer 16 is the Germanium layer, layer 18 is the Nickel layer, and layer 20 is the Aluminum layer. The region 14 bounded by the dotted line enclosing the notation "n+ " indicates the region of the layer 12 into which the Germanium will migrate after alloying to form an especially high concentration of n impurities. The interface between the Germanium layer 16 and the n-type layer of Gallium Arsenide 12 is marked as 15. Rapid thermal annealing at 825� C. was used to activate the ion implantations. By increasing alloying temperature, a contact resistance of 1.4�10-6 ohm-cm2 was obtained at 500� C. The Nickel layer 18 is required to prevent balling up of the Al-Ge after alloying and leads to smooth surface texture of the contact layer. The alloying step is carried out in the reducing atmosphere of hydrogen in a graphite strip heater. The time of alloying ranges from 1 to 30 minutes. After the alloying procedure, an overlay of 2500 Angstroms of pure Aluminum was evaporated and patterned utilizing a conventional photoresist liftoff method. This layer of Al is not shown in FIG. 1.
While the bulk resistivity of Aluminum is 2.7�10-6 ohm-cm, and is slightly higher than the value of 2.2�10-6 ohm-cm for Gold, the sheet resistivity of 2500 Angstroms of Aluminum is 120 milli-ohms/2 and less than that for 2500 Angstroms of magnatron sputtered Gold which has a sheet resistivity of 160 milli-ohms per square. At the second interconnect level, 5000 Angstroms of Gold has a sheet resistivity of 80 milli-ohms per square (sputtered) while the Aluminum is again less with 60 milli-ohms per square (evaporated). For a thickness of one micron (10000 Angstroms) the sheet resistivity of an Aluminum layer of this thickness drops to 30 milli-ohms per squire. Thus it would be advantageous to use a thicker layer of Aluminum for the second metal interconnect layer than is presently used for Gold and similar applications which is typically 5000 to 6000 Angstroms.
The Al-Ge alloy could also be deposited by other techniques besides the conventional sequential deposition by evaporation of the respective Ge, Ni and Al layers followed by alloying For example, an already alloyed mixture of Al-Ge in the form of pellitized material could be deposited onto the GaAs by flash evaporation Also, co-evaporation of Al and Ge could be conducted to deposit the correct eutectic alloy mixture on the GaAs. The phase diagram for the Al-Ge system can be found in Hansen's book, Constitution of Binary Alloys, referenced above.
FIG. 2 is a graph which demonstrates the dependence of the specific contact resistance, RC, in ohms-cm2 as a function of the level of n-type ions in substrate (cm-3). The graph clearly demonstrates the benefits of high levels of n-type impurities in the diffused contact region as shown by the region 14 in FIG. 1.
It was also found that contact resistance decreased as the alloying temperature increased for a peak n-type impurity concentration of about 1018 cm-3 .

why has my daughter not had intercourse yet
I think my daughter is afraid to have Sexual intercourse. She has had two boyfriends and has slept in the same bed with each of them over the period of the relationship. She has told me she has never had intercourse, she is now 20 and I find it hard to beleive considering that she has slept in the same bed. She has moved into a flat with the previous boyfriend two weeks ago, she has now told him she just wants to be friends and nothing else. I asked her if she had actually had intercourse with him yet,as I wanted to get an idea of how close they are in their relationship, and she said she has never had intercourse with either of them. I told her that she should not be afraid to do this as it does not hurt, and it is lovely when you are in a loving relationship. She said that you still have to want to do it and she doesnt. I am worried about her because she is not really openly loving with anyone, and she is very hard to work out with her feelings. I want to discuss the matter further with her, but I do not know how best to approach the subject. please can you help me.In Topics: Teen sexuality and dating

Help with Palm ID --- VIDEO --- Dublin Ireland --- Trachy???
On vacation to Ireland, I stumbled across what APPEAR to be Trachycarpus Fortuneis in several places across the country. However, the lower portions of the trunk are incredibly smooth, leading me to guess they can be/have been trimmed? MOST interesting of all, one I found is flowering.
In addition, I found a quite large Butia Capitata (Pindo) in a very protected microclimate (protected on three sides with brick walls, and the fourth might as well be as it is a large stair case.
Here is a link that might be useful: VIDEO of Windmill Palms w/Clipped trunks
I visited Ireland back in 1986 and was shocked to see Palms there. Then someone explained the Gulf Stream influenced the climate, etc. That was probably what sparked my interest in hardies.
Anyway, I recall mostly Trachys (which I have also since seen in Germany, England, Switzerland, and Alpine Italy) but also a fair amount of Cordylines.
"It's proud I am that I'm Irish. And don't you
be forgetting, Missy, that you're half-Irish too. And to
anyone with a drop of Irish blood in them, why the land
they live on is like their mother. Oh, but there, there, now,
you're just a child. It'll come to you, this love of the land."
"Gone With the Wind" (1939)
....So true.
Not a mistake, both Scots-Irish and Scotch-Irish are in used synonymously in modern, American usage. Here's a link:

By Steve Graham, Hometalk
Pigeons may be as integral to city living as traffic and pollution, and perhaps as annoying and potentially dangerous. These birds can cause property damage and carry diseases. However, there are humane ways to minimize pigeon damage and risks. We've also explored some alleged solutions that simply don't work or are not recommended.
The problems with pigeons
Pigeons often carry salmonella and other diseases. Their nests can harbor bird mites, bed bugs and other biting, disease-carrying insects. Pigeon droppings also are highly acidic, and can damage car paint and buildings. According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, pigeon droppings can carry funguses or bacteria that cause the human diseases cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis and psittacosis. Exposure to these diseases happens primarily when cleaning up pigeon droppings.
Solutions that work
You may have noticed that pigeons are everywhere. Getting rid of all the pigeons may be unrealistic. You can reduce nesting populations in your immediate area by inspecting your property for nests, and removing nests and eggs every two weeks. More importantly, focus on keeping pigeons out of buildings and other spaces.
- Wire mesh and wire: Screen all soffit vents and other potential entry points with rust-proof wire mesh. University of Florida professor William Kern also recommends suspending a thin wire or monofilament about two inches above a railing or other potential roost, or adding sticky substances, deterring pigeons from resting on the rails.
- Sheet metal: To keep pigeons off ledges and other flat potential roosts, cover them with a sloping piece of sheet metal. A slanted metal board doesn't make much of a roost.
- Bird netting: Another option is to use bird netting to seal off spaces above barn rafters and other potential roosts.
- Scare-pigeons: The pigeon equivalent of scarecrows also may be an option. Among the most effective "scare-pigeons" are kites with hawk silhouettes and light Mylar streamers. Both move easily in the wind, scaring off birds. On the other hand, pigeons will quickly grow accustomed to a model owl that sits in one spot for a while.
- Spray pigeons with water: Kern even recommends spraying pigeons with a water hose, but notes that the birds must be sprayed upon arrival, before they start to establish a regular roosting spot. Once they have established a roost, your impromptu showers won't keep them from going home.
- Pigeon traps: If you fail to exclude pigeons or prevent roosting, you may need to make a trap or buy a commercial trap. Be sure to check each trap at least once a day, and leave water in the trap, to attract more birds and minimize stress on any birds that get caught. Also immediately release all other birds you were not aiming to catch.

WANTED: Red Leafed Banana
I would really love to have this colorful banana. If you have a start to trade, please see my list.
Thanks so much,
I would love one too, if you have a second one.
Looking at your list, I have:
lions tail seeds (or I could root a cutting for you)
Misi Luki banana pups
*Maybe* a dwarf red pup
To tempt you:
Three years ago I bought a variegated tapioca. It got smashed in Charley but I just took branches and stuck them in the ground and viola! new plants. They are gorgeous - the only problem is that when you grow them in a tree form (which I prefer) they topple in high winds unless staked.
Here is a picture: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/cemap/tapioca/index.html
I do not have rooted cutting right now so could either send you cuttings or you could wait for me to root some. We just got zapped by a late frost so it will be a while.

Abraaj raises $1.3 bln for African investment funds
Prominent African private equity firm Kingdom Zephyr is in talks with investors on the future of its $490 million fund after the departure of its rainmaker forced the closure of its South African office, according to sources familiar with the matter.
March 12, 2012 1:41 by Reuters
The shake-up comes as competitors increasingly push into African private equity, drawn by the dynamic economic growth and lucrative deals that Kingdom Zephyr itself helped to publicise.
Owned by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and US firm Zephyr Management, Kingdom Zephyr is negotiating with investors about how to proceed with its portfolio, according to two people familiar with the matter.
"The fund is undergoing restructuring," Accra-based Managing Partner J. Kofi Bucknor told Reuters, although he declined to comment further.
The departure of Chief Investment Officer Panos Voutyritsas in September raised concern among some investors, according to the two people , who declined to be identified because the information is not public.
The changes at Kingdom Zephyr – which still has offices in Ghana and Nigeria – come as international investors clamor for deals in Africa.
Irish rock star Bob Geldof has raised $200 million for his "8 mile" Africa fund, while US firm Carlyle Group last year set up shop in Lagos and Johannesburg.
Kingdom Zephyr's office closure also illustrates some of the difficulties investors face in frontier markets, where local knowledge is critical and experienced investment professionals are not easily replaceable.
Kingdom Zephyr made several investments in high-profile African companies such as Celtel – now part of Bharti Airtel – and Ecobank Transnational.
Managing Partner Bucknor is a well known figure in African investment banking. A Columbia MBA and a veteran of Chemical Bank and Lehman Brothers, Bucknor has been a strong exponent of Africa's growth potential.
The fund was also known for hefty returns in its early days: its interal rate of return – the common measure of investment performance in private equity – totalled 94 percent over three years, according to a 2007 press release.
Reuters was unable to establish whether Voutyritsas' departure triggered a so-called key man event, a clause to protect investors if an important member of management leaves. Typically, a fund is prevented from making new investments under the clause.
Voutyritsas told Reuters last week: "I had fundamental disagreements over business philosophy and management practices with some of the key people at Zephyr Management, and it came to the point where parting ways became inevitable".
"It did not relate to investment matters. Overall, we enjoyed a wonderful investment track record since Kingdom Zephyr's formation. It was differences on other management matters, which invariably influenced the strategic direction. Our visions diverged."
Neither Zephyr Management nor Alwaleed's investment company Kingdom Holdings responded to calls and e-mails seeking comment.
"They are trying to work out what they're going to do with their existing portfolio. They do have assets in their current fund and the (limited partners) are debating amongst themselves what is the right way of handling that," said one of the people familiar with the matter.
The fund's investors, or limited partners, include Temasek Holdings, the Singapore sovereign wealth fund. Temasek has been pushing to take over the fund, said the other individual with knowledge of the issue.
A spokesman for Temasek declined to comment.
Other limited partners include International Finance Corporation, a unit of the World Bank, which committed $40 million to the fund in 2008.
A spokesman said the IFC was fully committed to private equity to bring development change in Africa, but declined to comment further.
By the time he left, Voutyritsas – a former banker with Salomon Smith Barney in New York – was one of the few remaining members of the original Kingdom Zephyr team.
"I was the last one in a series of departures over the last three years, and serial departures can cause issues to any company," Voutyritsas said.
Kingdom Zephyr's Johannesburg office was closed and staff were let go around December, according to a third person familiar with the matter.
The firm's website currently lists two other bankers as members of the South Africa team, although Reuters has not been able to contact either of them.
When two Reuters reporters visited the office in suburban Johannesburg late last month, it was closed during working hours and the lights were off. The company name on the wall in reception was partially taken down and four boxes were stacked against a desk.
Kingdom Zephyr has $492 million of committed capital for its current fund, which was launched in 2008.
It holds about a 30 percent stake, worth about $55 million, in Consolidated Infrastructure Group, a Johannesburg-listed supplier of electrical equipment and building materials.
It also holds stakes in north African real estate developer Mixta Africa S.A. and Botswana-listed consumer lender Letshego Holdings.
Its initial fund, launched in 2003, was for $123 million. (By David Dolan; Additional reporting by Helen Nyambura-Mwaura in JOHANNESBURG and Saeed Azhar in SINGAPORE; Editing by Pascal Fletcher and Andrew Callus)

Open Access to Large Scale Datasets Is Needed to Translate Knowledge of Cancer Heterogeneity into Better Patient Outcomes
The February Issue of PLOS Medicine includes two studies that relate intratumoral heterogeneity to clinical cancer outcomes. James Rocco and colleagues analyzed data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to show that tumor heterogeneity can serve as a prognostic indicator in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and James Brenton and colleagues found higher levels of tumor heterogeneity to be associated with decreased survival in serous ovarian cancer.
In a Guest Editorial, Andrew Beck of Harvard Medical School discusses how these two studies support the idea that molecular characterization of large sets of cancer samples can lead to improved personalized therapies for cancer.

Hotels in Spain
Hotels in Spain run the gamut from luxury beach resorts and historic hotels, often in landmarks like castles and monasteries, to family-run B&B's and quaint pensions. Unlike many European countries where the prices are high no matter what, it is generally easy to find accommodation to suit your budget in Spain.
An alternative to Spain hotels is to find a room or bed in someone's private home. Look out for signs that read habitaciones or comas that indicate cheap B&B style lodgings. Hostels can be a great place to stay for students and backpackers who would like to meet other travelers during their stay.
Some of the best hotels in Spain are paradores, which offer unforgettable lodgings in converted castles and monasteries at relatively cheap prices compared to five-star hotels. Often set in historic buildings, paradors are a wonderful way to explore the country.
Another option, particularly in rural or coastal areas, is to rent an apartment or villa. This affords travellers more freedom than staying in many of the hotels in Spain.
Intimate beachfront villas—once the residence of Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe—on a lush stretch of the Golden Mile.
Room to Book: Executives overlooking the garden.
The hotel prides itself on top-notch service. Housekeepers leave bonbons or flowers on pillows in Superior rooms and suites, and concierges create unique itineraries (a tour of La Boqueria market with a Spanish food expert, for example).
It isn't easy to locate the Hostal Sa Rascassa, and that's exactly the point—the hotel is hidden above Aiguafreda, a tiny seaside cove on Spain's Costa Brava. The quiet, tree-shaded haven has five bright rooms with tiled floors and wood-framed beds.
A garden furnished with glass pyramids isn't the first thing you'd expect to find at a lakeside Art Nouveau villa in the Spanish Pyrenees, 92 miles north of Barcelona. But then again, the latest property from the über-stylish Hospes hotel chain is full of surprises.
The property pays homage to the region's Moorish heritage in some of the 33 guest rooms, which are Moroccan-themed; many look out on the crescent-shaped beach, which is dotted with colorful sails, thanks to the wind- and kite-surfing school that the hotel runs.
At the end of a lavender-and-cypress-lined drive in Majorca's southeastern countryside, the Gran Hotel Son Julia presides over a landscape of orange and almond groves with an air of noblesse oblige.
A cliffside luxury hotel.
Past the columned entrance off Paseo de la Castellana, this 10-story brick hotel has a lobby filled with black leather couches, metal accents, and wood paneling.

| NaaraHatake chapter 1 . 3/1/2014
This is amazing! To think, if Pitch had showed himself to Jack, there could be a whole new story. No longer is Jack a spirit made for what he use to be. I feel as though Pitch does care for Jack because, like the Frost boy, no sees him anymore either. And, he isn't loved. This could make an awesome story. I love it!

Wowzers! I really really really REALLY love this! Write more?
| Mystichawk chapter 1 . 6/5/2013
Dude, that song is highly creepy!
I think I'll sing it and record it for my ringtone!
but really, this one-shot was cute. I love this idea and wish people would write more fatherxson things about Pitch and Jack, rather than those nasty ships. I just cannot see those two in a relationship. it gives me nightmares.
but really, I wish you'd make a long story for this. it's a freaking fantastic idea!
| Avianahelena chapter 1 . 3/6/2013
Why do I think this is adorable? Poor child. I have a little difficulty believing a capricious creature like Jack would allow himself to be sequestered so, but the essence of this story rings painfully true.

Vinyl windows with diamond grid?
I am looking for double-hung vinyl replacement windows that are available with diamond grids in the top sash. I know that Simonton makes these, but apparently only for their "Eastern" division. I am in Idaho and using a dealer in Washington state, who is saying he'll have to get the glass from the East and put it in frames from the West and it will end up costing about $800 more for the 6 windows that I want.
Are there other companies of quality comparable to Simonton that make what I want?
Thank you for your help.
He says that as a dealer he is able to buy directly from Simonton, and if he has to buy the whole window from a distributor the price will be higher because of their markup. At any rate, according to the Simonton website, the same lines are available in Idaho as they are in Washington, so I'm not sure that buying in Idaho is the answer.

(6) Michigan State 54
(12-2, 0-1 Big Ten)
(9) Ohio State 68
(13-2, 2-1 Big Ten)
8:00 PM ET, January 6, 2005
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Everyone knew No. 9 Ohio State could score. What they didn't know was that the Buckeyes could be tough and play defense, too.Jessica Davenport scored five of her 14 points during a late 16-0 run to lead the Buckeyes to a 68-54 victory over the sixth-ranked Spartans on Thursday night."When we got down eight, we ratcheted it up and went to another level," Ohio State coach Jim Foster said of the Buckeyes, who finished the game on a 34-12 run after facing their biggest deficit with 15 minutes left.Brandie Hoskins led the Buckeyes (13-2, 2-1 Big Ten) with 17 points. Caity Matter added 12 points, and Stephanie Blanton had 10.The game was billed as an early showdown between the Big Ten's top two teams. Ohio State came in leading the conference in scoring, field-goal percentage, 3-point percentage and free-throw shooting. Michigan State was first in steals and rebounds.The Buckeyes' wins came by an average of 27 points. In the only games they had really been pushed -- at Notre Dame and at Penn State -- they didn't play with any grit down the stretch.That all changed in the final 7 minutes against Michigan State."There wasn't a panic mode," Foster said. "We stayed to the task at hand."Liz Shimek scored 17 points and Kristin Haynie had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Spartans (12-2, 1-1), who had an eight-game winning streak end."We weren't tough enough at junctures," Michigan State coach Joanne McCallie said. "Credit Ohio State. They played hard and tough. We just weren't tough enough."The Spartans came in 5-0 on the road, including wins over Connecticut and Notre Dame.The Spartans broke open a 28-28 tie at the half, scoring on their first five possessions. Three of the baskets were by Kelli Roehrig and another from Shimek came inside against Ohio State's man-to-man defense, with Davenport hindered by foul trouble.Their biggest lead was 42-34 after a three-point play by Shimek with 15:34 remaining."Coach told us to take it one possession at a time," Hoskins said. "We got down at Penn State and started playing not to lose. In the huddles (tonight) we kept saying, 'One possession at a time.' We decided if we got down, we weren't going to stay down."Ohio State picked up the tempo on defense, pulling to 47-46 on a rebound follow by Blanton and then taking the lead on a three-point play by Ashley Allen. Allen's basket came on a fast-break touch pass from Caity Matter with 8:09 left.Michigan State tied it on a left-handed scoop shot by Shimek, but then the Buckeyes pulled away for good.Marcilla Packer hit a 3 from the right corner against the Spartans' matchup zone before Lindsay Bowen hit two free throws at the 6:57 mark -- Michigan State's final points until the last minute."We stopped focusing," Shimek said. "We weren't tough at all."The Spartans missed 14 shots from the field in a row until Shimek hit a jumper with 28 seconds remaining."They definitely out-toughed us tonight," Haynie said. "We didn't take care of the ball on offense and we gave up 3s at crucial points of the game. And when they made that run, we didn't respond."After Davenport's free throw, Packer took a long pass from Kim Wilburn for a breakaway layup. Davenport, playing with three fouls, then added two baskets inside, one off a loose ball and the other on a follow.The Buckeyes then scored eight more points in a row -- six by Hoskins -- as the Spartans continued to struggle at the offensive end."I would like to have us have the mind-set of being a tough team wherever we play, home or away," Foster said. "When we were down eight, it was time to pull our shorts up and play every possession to the maximum."

i really like this song
wish it could be my ringtone
that would be awsome
i would call myself if i could, just to hear that
Rated 4 / 5 stars
But to the guy under me, they didnt use it because if they did, it would have ruined the mood of Zelda.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
My only dissapointment...
is that none of the Zelda games used this instead as the main theme, because probably everyone would just die of the massive epicness
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Slightly loud, but otherwise perfect.
Slightly loud for max volume, but the way I work is if that's the only problem, I just ignore it. :3
That was my only issue, so great song dude!

Another fantastic summer with the Sisterhood. If you've listened to the first book, you'll pick right up with the girls, who are really young ladies in the sequel. I thought the book was a little slow at the start, but once it gets going, you'll sit in the car for "just another minute" after you reach your destination. The second half has several "I-can't-cry-because-I'm driving" moments.
The third book is due out in January, and I will purchase that one as soon as Audible has it available.
"Fabulous book"
This is one of those audiobooks that keeps you in the car long after you've reached your destination. Or you go out to the car at lunch just get a few minutes further in the story. I've loaned this cd to 3 other co-workers (all female) who all loved the book, too.
The narrator does a great job - I'm impressed that one person can make each character sound like a different yet identifiable person.

NVIDIA Puts Out Two Drivers, Including For OpenGL 4.1

While there's very few people that
NVIDIA's dead open-source driver update
helps out, NVIDIA has released two new binary Linux driver updates. The NVIDIA 256.44 pre-release driver adds in support for some new GeForce and Quadro GPUs along with introduces some "Fermi" (GeForce GTX 400 series) stability fixes while the NVIDIA 256.38.02 Linux driver introduces initial
OpenGL 4.1
The new hardware supported in the 256.44 pre-release driver adds support for the Quadro 4000/5000/600 workstation graphics cards that were released earlier this week during the SIGGRAPH conference. The 256.44 driver also now supports the GeForce GTX 460 graphics card, which we will be reviewing at Phoronix soon as NVIDIA has submitted a review sample to the Phoronix test labs.
The 256.44 driver installer now detects the presence of the Nouveau kernel module if it's claiming the NVIDIA GPU already so the nvidia-installer can provide a more accurate error message. The driver's README file has also been updated with details on how to disable the Nouveau driver.
Other changes with this pre-release Linux driver is removing the requirement that in TwinView passive stereo, the MetaModes must have had identical view-ports on each monitor. With active stereo, monitors no longer have to have identical mode-timings when upgrading to this driver. The last two official changes are enhancing
to better report certain kinds of initialization errors and a regression affecting X-Video on AGP systems when using the AGP GART driver.
The other Linux driver update, NVIDIA 256.38.02, provides initial OpenGL 4.1 preview support. The OpenGL 4.1 specification was just announced earlier this week at the SIGGRAPH graphics conference and now when pairing this newly released driver with a GeForce GTX 400 series graphics card there is this support for the very latest graphics API. OpenGL 4.1 is also joined by version 4.10 of GLSL, the GL Shading Language. For those on older pre-Fermi hardware that isn't OGL4 capable, there still are a few OpenGL extensions that NVIDIA was able to back-port for OpenGL 2.x and OpenGL 3.x users.
The OpenGL 4.1 preview driver can be downloaded from the
NVIDIA developer area
while the other 256.44 driver can be found at

Last month I bought these adorable new dresses. The red dots are from ModCloth, and the apple dress and grey dress are from Boden. I wore the apples once when the weather dared to climb above 50, but the rest are squirreled away for when the weather is actually warm. When is that going to happen?! This is the longest winter of all time. I want to wear my cute dresses with cute shoes.
Other posts on this project: I'm in Love with These Stof Dots.
I finished her dress! I used McCall's M6541 pattern, but I just made the basic little pinafore dress with it. No applique or Ric Rac. This is the same pattern my mom used for a blue version of this dress last summer, and Hannah is taller than the biggest dress size for the pattern now.
Yesterday we had Hannah's third birthday party at Sugarush in Red Bank. This is our favorite cupcake bakery, and I love that they've opened a party room for events. Read more on Cupcake Party!…
I've been on a mission to plan more activities with Hannah, and we are having a ball. I made up a kind of lesson plan book for her specifically, because this is just how my brain works best. So, I've been loosely planning out our days in it. Not down to the second, but I've been planning library days, baking days, etc.
Two weeks late, but I did make a very fun door dec for the library door this year. Everyone decorated their doors with a favorite picture book, and I have to say–I really dug doing something other than Dr. Seuss this year. I love the Seuss, but change is nice.
So, our "baby" is three. I don't know how that happened, but it has been much stranger for me to see her turn 3 than it was for 2 or even 1. Three is such a big deal. She's officially outgrown baby toys and now qualifies for anything that's "Age 3+" (even though she's already been playing with some older things for a while). She's moving from a toddler to a preschooler.
Last week was an absolute BEAR. I came home Monday from work and got sick, and I stayed sick through Friday night. In between bouts of thinking I was better before getting sick again, we had a blizzard. And Hannah and I played in the snow. AND, for the umpteenth time this winter, we snow painted. Which was so incredibly good for my soul.
I've been so sick this week and out of commission since Monday afternoon. I felt somehow inundated and not-quite-myself at work on Monday, which was supposed to be the kickoff to Read Across America at school. We had a delayed opening because of snow and ice, and the day's events were rescheduled…to Wednesday, when I was home sick with the stomach flu.
Read more on February is Done, But Winter Is Still Going Strong…
I made this Dr. Seuss-themed quilt for Hannah's first birthday, but I never put together a tutorial for it. So, in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday today I thought I'd post some instructions for this one! You can obviously use any fun kid fabrics you have, but I'm not a big fan of pastels. I love this stark black contrasted with bold and bright primaries.
I did this unit with pre-k for half of February, reading The Snowy Day, Pet Show!, Goggles, and Peter's Chair. Our copy of A Letter for Amy was missing, or I'd have added that one, too.
After we read Goggles, we made…goggles. I didn't have enough cardstock, so we used regular paper. Next year, cardstock.

Planning a kitchen addition and bringing an idea to reality can be an exciting process. It can also be stressful, but less so if you can break the planning process into steps. There are many details involved in designing and building a kitchen addition including determining the size and configuration of the space, blending the addition with the architecture of the home, creating a layout for appliances, adding mechanicals, designing lighting and selecting products for the room. It helps to follow a planning process that guides you from concept, to meeting with a design professional, to construction.Read More

A master bedroom and bath addition is a popular remodeling project for personal comfort and enjoyment. A term that you may be hearing a lot lately is "en suite." En suite refers to a bathroom adjoining a bedroom. A master en suite may include a king size bed, multiple dressers, walk-in closets, a bath with spa features, a walk-in shower, a free-standing tub and other amenities. If space for a master en suite cannot be attained by making interior changes, many homeowners will opt to build an addition.Read More

If you've visited the Parade of Homes or browsed through kitchen design magazines and websites, you've probably seen the trend where kitchens are integrated with dining room spaces and family rooms. This design trend is commonly referred to as "kitchens with an open floor plan." Many open floor plan projects involve working within the existing floor plan and opening up the space by removing walls to make the kitchen more efficient and improve the overall use of a first floor living area. Another way to create a kitchen with an open floor plan is to build an addition onto a home that includes a dining area and/or a family room in the design.Read More

The economy and caregiver relationships have created more households where families are sharing a home and expenses. Many young adults are living at home with their parents as they deal with college debt, divorce, single parenthood or unemployment. Parents are moving in with adult children as they cope with the loss of a spouse, health issues related to aging or to lend a helping hand to a young family. Immigration is also a factor in the increasing number of multigenerational households.

does garlic repel animals?
I came across something in a garden magazine. It was something that was supposed to be concentrated garlic, in (or on) a spike. You are supposed to put these spikes around your vegetables to deter rabbits. Has anyone tried this?
We have a lot of rabbits around the area. They jump the wall and eat the tomatoes, apples, lots of ornamentals, and grass. We also have flocks of quail who jump over the wall and eat everything in sight. All the annuals I started were eaten, as well as many perennials and shrubs. Will they eat the garlic? Can I use garlic to deter them? I grew garlic chives last year. Between the rabbits and quail, they ate this down to the ground.
Deer and other animals won't eat the garlic, but they will still eat other stuff if it happens to smell good to them. I would suggest spraying some home-made stuff such as a mix of eggs, milk, wilt pruf and a bit of dish soap should keep them away for a while.
Hanging some bounce sheets should also last if you are protecting small trees and shrubs, but a simpler solution is to use deer netting as they don't appear smart enough to charge through it. They are pretty dumb.
I attached a blog post show deer netting used on my luffa gourds which deer love, but they don't appear smart enough to get to them.
Here is a link that might be useful: lots of luffa
stevelau - that's quite a luffa orchard you have. The wall keeps deer from coming into the garden. We have fruit trees outside the wall, and those keep the deer happy. Rabbits will tunnel under a fence to get to anything edible. They're starting to appear around the house so I'm keeping an eye on the garlic shoots. If they don't eat them, perhaps I'll make up some kind of garlic spray for the rest of the garden.
I once visited a lady who had beautiful old oak trees in her yard that were home to a teeming population of squirrels. Like your rabbits, they ate everything. Her solution was to build a lath house covered with chicken wire -- like a wood-framed greenhouse, but the whole thing was enclosed in chicken wire. She grew the most beautiful tomatoes.
She chose not to modify the habitat of her problem animals, but my first question is ... can anything be done to get rid of the rabbits? Get a terrier dog to show you where they are living, and take it from there.
planatus - we are in New Mexico, at the base of the mountains. Part of the reason we live here is because of the wildness which includes wild animals - bears, bobcats, coyotes, deer, many species of birds and unfortunately rabbits, pack rats and snakes. So getting rid of the rabbits is not an option. The best I can hope for is to keep them out of the walled garden. We don't grow many vegetables because it's a lost cause. If it turns out that garlic repels rabbits, I may try to distribute it around the beds just to deter them.
I've put spiky branches around the garlic chives and we have a fence around the garlic crop. Baby rabbits have started to appear everywhere so we'll see if the garlic stays safe.

Can a Landlord Force Tenants to Have Renters Insurance?
There are a lot of benefits to both the landlord and the renter as a result of the tenant having a policy.
