Photo Flash: Cheyenne Jackson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and More in ONE NIGHT STAND!
This fast-paced, hilarious and entertaining film follows some of New York's top actors, including Cheyenne Jackson (30 Rock, Glee), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family) and Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live), as well as teams of writers, composers and directors as they are given 24 hours to write, cast, compose, rehearse and perform four short musicals. At the end of the 24 hours, the musicals made their opening, and closing, night at New York City's Gramercy Theatre. The event also presented exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the stars of "One Night Stand" as they shared intimate stories of life on Broadway.
Check out stills from One Night Stand below!
Likened to "'A Chorus Line' meets 'Project Runway'", "One Night Stand: Creating a Play in a Day," directed by Elisabeth Sperling and Trish Dalton, captures the excitement, anxiety, camaraderie and sheer panic that leads to the final thrill of the finished performance. From the blank page to the live stage, "One Night Stand: Creating a Play in a Day" unveils the magic as these talented artists take the dare to create something from nothing.
Four teams consisting of composers, writers, directors and actors use props to inspire the musicals: a zoot suit worn by Richard Kind (Argo, Spin City, Mad About You) on a children's show in the 1970s inspires the "Islands" musical; a phobia pop-up book is the premise for "Multiphobia" and an 80s prom dress prop is used in "Dr. Williams" featuring Jackson, Ferguson and Roger Bart (Revenge, Desperate Housewives). Dratch brings her comedic timing to the fourth musical, "Rachel said Sorry."
Actors featured in the musicals include the aforementioned Bart, Dratch, Ferguson, Jackson and Kind as well as Mandy Gonzalez (Wicked, In the Heights); Capathia Jenkins (Newsies, Chicago, Nine); Theresa McCarthy (Queen of the Mist, Saturn Returns, Titanic); Nellie McKay (Home Sweet Mobile Home, Rumor Has It); Marnie Schulenburg (As the World Turns); Scarlet Strallen (Mary Poppins, The Witches of Eastwick); Tracie Thoms (Cold Case, Rent); Tamara Tunie (Law and Order SVU, Flight) and Alicia Witt (Two Weeks Notice, Urban Legend).

New Year Brings Hope for Orphans. It is almost seven years since I first stepped foot in Mukuni Village and visited their basic school. It was there that I learnt about the plight of the orphans – almost 50% of the children had lost one or both parents. Since 2006 The Butterfly Tree has assisted thousands of orphaned and vulnerable children in the Mukuni Chiefdom and beyond and sponsored over 500 individual ones in education. With the start of the new school year in Zambia many children will have dropped out of rural schools due to the lack of funds. Education up to grade seven is free, though books and uniform still need to be purchased. After grade seven school fees have to be found – a hard task for families who are living below the poverty line.
With so much poverty in rural villages education is crucial for these needy children. We have provided bore holes, improved health facilities and feeding programs but far too many orphans are struggling to meet the school fees. It cost just £110 ($180) per annum to sponsor an orphan or £10 per month for UK donors. Last year twenty orphans who had completed high school were able to go onto further education thanks to a grant from the BFSS. The majority of them took hotel management or food and beverage courses. Zambia is an up and coming tourist destination and new hotels are being built in the area. More jobs will become available for these students who are now trained in this industry. Two of the first orphans we sponsored have employment as security guards at Stanley Safari Lodge.
For 2013 one challenge is for the schools we support to become more sustainable, another will be to initiate income-generating enterprises for orphans who are unable to seek employment. Our aim is to provide a mentoring scheme, which will involve local employers and businesses. If we can teach these educated orphans how to run a business not only to provide food for their families, but also to produce food for the tourist industry, they can overcome the poverty cycle. At the end of 2012 many of Zambia's crops were destroyed be army worms. Mukuni and Kamwi villages lost most of their crops and will suffer a food shortage later this year. The Butterfly Tree has donated funds for 100 bags of seeds to help the worse effected families to replant during this peak growing season. All of these families will be supporting orphans; besides giving them an education we have to ensure that the orphans do not to suffer from hunger.

The present invention provides a method for forming metal-induced laterally crystallized polysilicon in which the metal residue is reduced. A first low temperature lateral crystallization is performed using a metal crystallization-inducing agent such as nickel or a nickel compound. A second lateral crystallization is then carried out which may be either a low-temperature crystallization using metal residue from the first crystallization as the metal crystallization-inducing agent, or may be a high temperature crystallization that does not require a metal.
1. A method of forming laterally-crystallized polysilicon, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a layer of amorphous silicon on a substrate, (b) providing a metallic crystallization-inducing agent to a part of said layer of amorphous silicon; (c) performing a metal-induced first lateral crystallization step at a temperature of between 400 degrees C. and 650 degrees C. to form first regions of metal-induced laterally crystallized polysilicon; and (d) performing a second lateral crystallization step to extend said regions of laterally crystallized polysilicon.

This invention relates to novel methods for forming laterally crystallized polysilicon, and in particular to such methods capable of reducing the metal residue in metal-induced laterally crystallized (MILC) polysilicon. The invention father relates to devices fabricated from such polysilicon.
Portable electronic devices such as laptop computers, personal digital assistants, and portable DVD players and the like have become increasingly common and popular. One reason for the success of such devices is the advance in the technology of low power, lightweight and inexpensive flat-panel displays. Future devices such as third generation mobile phones will require similar displays.
One of the major factors behind the advances in flat-panel display technology has been the replacement of slower electronic components fabricated from amorphous silicon with faster components made from polysilicon. The fabrication of polysilicon and devices constructed therefrom has become an important issue.
Conventional methods of forming polysilicon require the use of high-temperatures. Unfortunately the high temperatures required are inconsistent with the use of inexpensive glass panels as are popularly used in flat-panel displays. More recently, however, the formation of polysilicon using the technique of metal-induced lateral crystallization (MILC) of amorphous silicon has been developed. In MILC, a metal�usually nickel�is seeded in amorphous silicon to induce crystallization. An advantage of MILC techniques is that they allow the polysilicon to be formed at lower temperatures compatible with low-cost substrates such as glass.
An example of conventional metal-induced crystallization techniques can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,879,974 which uses a nickel solution to promote crystallization, though in this example the crystallization is not lateral crystallization. U.S. Pat. No. 6,077,731 describes both metal-induced and metal-induced lateral crystallization using in particular nickel as the metal element. Other possible metal elements include iron, cobalt, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, platinum, copper and gold.
While the feasibility of MILC fabrication of polysilicon has been clearly established, one problem with conventional MILC techniques is that there remains a residue of the metal element trapped in the polysilicon. This residue may degrade the intrinsic performance of devices fabricated from the polysilicon, and may affect the long-term reliability of such devices. In both U.S. Pat. No. 5,879,974 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,077,731 the nickel is applied as a surface coating and is subsequently removed by a further surface treatment step (the use of HF/H2O2/H2O I the former, and the use of HCl in the latter). Neither document discloses any method for removing trapped nickel residue in the bulk polysilicon.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of forming laterally-crystallised polysilicon, comprising the steps of:
In preferred embodiments of the invention the part of the layer of amorphous silicon to which the metallic crystallization-inducing agent is applied is removed prior to the second lateral crystallization step. In particular, in a preferred low-temperature embodiment of the invention that part of the amorphous layer is removed and the second lateral crystallization step is carried out at a temperature of between 400� C. and 650� C. In this embodiment of the invention the second crystallization is a form of MILC with residual metal in the first-formed polysilicon regions acting as the crystallization-inducing agent for the second crystallization. This has the effect of diluting the residual metal throughout the extended regions of polysilicon.
In a second, high-temperature, embodiment of the invention the part of the amorphous layer to which the metal crystallization-inducing agent is applied may be either removed or retained, but the second lateral crystallization step is carried out at a temperature of between 650� C. and 1200� C. In this embodiment the extended regions of polysilicon are formed because amorphous silicon is adjacent to the first-formed regions of polysilicon and at high-temperature such amorphous silicon will change to adopt the order of the polysilicon regions.
In either embodiment of the invention in step (b) the region is defined by forming a masking layer covering said layer of amorphous silicon except for said region. The metallic crystallization-inducing agent may be provided by evaporation onto the surface of the masking layer and the region, or alternatively by ion implantation in the region.
After forming the extended laterally-crystallized polysilicon regions a high-temperature anneal may be performed.
Preferably the metallic crystallization-inducing agent comprises nickel, cobalt, palladium, platinum, titanium or combinations thereof or a compound containing one or more of these metals.
Viewed from another broad aspect the present invention also provides a method of forming laterally-crystallized polysilicon from amorphous silicon comprising a metal-induced first lateral crystallization step followed by a second lateral crystallization step.
Viewed from a still further broad aspect the present invention also provides a semiconductor device comprising polysilicon wherein said polysilicon is formed from amorphous silicon by performing a metal-induced first lateral crystallization step followed by a second lateral crystallization step.
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
In an embodiment of the invention a layer of amorphous silicon 1 is firstly formed on a substrate 2 separated by an insulating layer 3 as shown in FIG. 1. The layer of amorphous silicon, preferably in the range of 15 nm to 3 μm thick, is formed at a temperature of between 150� C. and 600� C. using one of a variety of known techniques such as sputtering, evaporation or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The amorphous silicon can be doped during deposition of after deposition (for example by ion implantation). In the preferred embodiment boron maybe used as a p-type dopant and either phosphorus or arsenic is used as an n-type dopant.
The substrate can be a polymer, glass, 10 nm to 3 μm thick insulator-covered stainless steel or polysilicon, or single-crystal silicon. The substrate may include pre-fabricated conventional integrated circuits.
The layer of amorphous silicon may be optionally patterned into desired shapes using conventional microfabrication techniques.
Referring now to
Following the addition of the metal crystallization-inducing agent 6 a first lateral crystallization step is carried out as shown in FIG. 2. This first crystallization is performed at a temperature of between 350� C. and 650� C. and results in a region of vertically-crystallized polysilicon (V) in the region of the window 5, and two regions of laterally-induced polysilicon (L) extending to either side of the region V immediately below the window 5. The laterally-induced regions (L) are largely {111}-oriented along the direction of lateral crystallization and may be of a length between 1 μm and 100 s of μm depending on the duration of this first crystallization.
Following this first crystallization a second crystallization is then carried out which may be either at a low temperature (
In the low-temperature embodiment the masking layer 4 (if not previously removed before the first crystallization) may still be either retained or removed. The vertically-crystallized region V is then removed and a second lateral crystallization is carried out at a temperature of between 400� C. and 650� C. for a time sufficiently long to produce a polysilicon extension region (EL) ranging in length from 1 μm to 100 s of μm depending on the duration of this second crystallization. An optional high-temperature anneal at 700� C. to 1200� C. for a few hours can be carried out to recrystallize the silicon if desired.
In this �low-temperature� embodiment of the invention the second crystallization is also an example of MILC with the residual Ni from the first crystallization acting as the crystallization-inducing agent. Since the original source of metal has been removed, however, the nickel in the first formed polysilicon regions L and the extension regions EL is diluted and the Ni residue concentration is reduced.
In the high-temperature embodiment of the invention the vertically-crystallized region V may be either removed or retained. In
In this embodiment the second crystallization is a spontaneous process that occurs at elevated temperatures when amorphous silicon is placed next to polysilicon. The atoms in the amorphous silicon re-arrange to follow the order imposed by the polysilicon. In a sense therefore the first laterally-induced regions L serve as a template for the extension regions EL. The metal such as nickel is not required for this process and therefore minimum Ni should exist in the extension regions. Furthermore even if the region V bearing Ni is retained, at elevated temperatures the reaction of Ni with Si is a faster process than the diffusion of Ni within silicon and thus even if the Ni-containing window is retained nickel silicides will be formed before the Ni has a chance to diffuse through the silicon.
Following the second crystallization, the masking layer 4 is removed if it has been retained to that point, and the exposed silicon layer may be pattered as desired leaving, for example, only the laterally-induced polysilicon as shown in FIG. 5. The polysilicon is then ready for fabrication into a variety of devices, a selection of which will be described in the following examples.
The stack of gate insulator 10 and gate electrode 11 is then micro-lithographically defined and etched, and then self-aligned heavy doping (>1015/cm2) of the source 12, gate 11 and drain 13 electrodes are carried out by a technique such as ion implantation or thermal diffusion. Heating, by for example furnace heating, rapid-thermal heating or laser-induced heating, is used to thermally anneal for activation and/or diffusion of the dopants. An insulating layer, such as deposited silicon dioxide, is formed and contact holes opened to the desired electrodes. Metal lines are formed for device inter-connection and sintering is performed to reduce contact resistance and to passivate residual dangling bonds.

Serena Williams sets another record at Australian Open
Serena Williams got on and off court as quickly as she could in the scorching heat Friday, registering another record with win No. 61 at the Australian Open as she advanced to the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniela Hantuchova.
The Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams got on and off court as quickly as she could in the scorching heat Friday, registering another record with win No. 61 at the Australian Open as she advanced to the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia.
The five-time Australian Open champion later withdrew from the doubles, avoiding any extra exposure to the blazing sun during the once-in-a-century heat wave that was gripping Melbourne for a fourth straight day.
Two-time finalist Li Na of China, the major threat to the top-ranked Williams in the top half of the women's draw, had to save a match point before coming back to beat No. 26 Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 1-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3.
Williams equaled Margaret Court's Australian Open mark of 60 wins with her second-round victory, and beat that in the third round when she also matched Lindsay Davenport's record of 69 main-draw matches here in the Open era. That means Williams will set another record just by showing up Sunday against the winner of the match between 2011 U.S. Open champ Sam Stosur of Australia and former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic of Serbia.
"It was a tough match ... it's definitely hot, but you have to be ready to play," Williams said. "And then you have to prepare yourself mentally, too."
On the men's side, third-seeded David Ferrer of Spain advanced to the fourth round for a 10th consecutive Grand Slam when he beat No. 29 Jeremy Chardy of France 6-2, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2.
Fifth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina was eliminated 4-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 by Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain for the biggest upset of the event.

Jonny Gomes Rumors
Athletics Notes: Gomes, Crisp, Young
Earlier tonight, Athletics General Manager Billy Beane spoke with reporters to discuss the three-team deal that brought Chris Young to Oakland. Beane admitted that the Young acquisition "will have an impact" on their decision to bring back free agent Jonny Gomes and seemed to infer that he won't be back in 2013, writes Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Here's more on Beane and the A's..
- The GM doesn't intend on moving any of the club's other outfielders after acquiring Young and reiterated how important Coco Crisp is to the team, tweets Casey Pratt of CSNBayArea.com. Beane believes that the club can find playing time for all of their outfielders by rotating them and utilizing the DH spot.
- Beane said that he phoned Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers about the possibility of trading for Young the day after the Athletics were eliminated by the Tigers, tweets Joe Stiglich of the Bay Area News Group.
- If Beane has a change of heart about Crisp, Jim Bowden of ESPN (via Twitter) suggests that the Rays, Mets, Indians, and Mariners could all be interested in the outfielder. Obviously, the Rays would only be a fit if they lose B.J. Upton to the open market.
- Scott Sizemore will shift back to his original position of second base, a move that seemed possible, Stiglich tweets.

Quick Hits: A's, Gomes, White Sox, Cubs, Dodgers
Earlier today, A's skipper Bob Melvin suggested that the club is ready to discuss a new contract with Jonny Gomes. The interest seems to be mutual, as Gomes re-iterated that he wants to be back in Oakland next season, writes Casey Pratt of CSNBayArea.com. "Would I like to? Absolutely," Gomes said. "I don't know, I mean this season has been magical for me, it has been a dream come true. When you've been kicked in the teeth as much as I have in the offseason you realize nothing is a guarantee." Here's more from around baseball..
- Dayan Viciedo will see his four-year, $10MM deal expire at the end of the year, but the White Sox outfielder says that he is not focused on his next contract, writes Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Viciedo has 1.123 years of major league service to his credit and won't be arbitration eligible until after the 2014 season.
- In his latest mailbag, several readers ask Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune why the Cubs can't build for the future while also looking to win in 2013. Sullivan writes that the main answer is a lack of pitching, which is a problem that can't be remedied overnight.
- The Dodgers announced earlier today that hitting coach Dave Hansen will not return in 2013. However, Hansen has been offered another position in the club, tweets Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.
- The Rockies officially kicked off their managerial search yesterday by meeting with bench coach Tom Runnells, writes Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. Stu Cole, manager of Triple-A Colorado Springs, is the club's other internal candidate in the search.

A's Notes: Gomes, McCarthy, Balfour
Athletics GM Billy Beane and manager Bob Melvin met with reporters today to discuss Oakland's remarkable 2012 season and look ahead toward the club's offseason plans. Here are some highlights (all links go to Twitter):
- Melvin suggested the A's are ready to discuss a new contract with Jonny Gomes, saying his situation is "a work in progress," Jane Lee of MLB.com reports. Gomes' one-year, $1MM contract expires following the World Series, but it sounds as though the Bay Area native could return for another year.
- Beane said he likes this team and wants it back in 2013, Lee reports. The A's are interested in retaining potential free agents like Gomes and Brandon McCarthy if possible.
- Beane hinted that the A's will exercise Grant Balfour's contract option, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "Some things are no-brainers," Beane said. Balfour's contract includes a $4.5MM club option for 2013 with a $350K buyout.
- Beane said he would be "absolutely baffled" if Melvin isn't named the AL Manager of the Year, Lee reports.

Quick Hits: Giants, Ross, Rangers, Morneau, Royals
One of the largest trades in baseball history was made official on Saturday, but here's a look at what else is going on in baseball…
- The Giants' search for an outfielder is going "nowhere fast," reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter links). The Dodgers and Diamondbacks have waiver priority and can block deals, though San Francisco likes having Gregor Blanco's defense in left for their fly ball pitching staff.
- Following their recent major move, the Red Sox want to keep Cody Ross according to Rosenthal (on Twitter). Gordon Edes of ESPN Boston says that Ross knows this and an extension could happen before the end of the season (Twitter links). Talks have not yet begun, however.
- The Rangers have claimed a number of players this month, including Justin Upton according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. The club is looking for a number of ways to improve prior to August 31st.
- Before moving on to Adrian Gonzalez, the Dodgers made another attempt to acquire Justin Morneau last week according to Dylan Hernandez of The Los Angeles Times. They tried to land the Twins' slugger prior to the trade deadline as well.
- There is mutual interest between the Marlins and Carlos Lee about a return next season, reports MLB.com's Joe Frisaro. Earlier this month we heard that Lee wanted to return to Miami, but the club's intentions were unclear.
- Royals GM Dayton Moore told Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star that the team's focus this offseason will be the pitching staff, including an attempt to re-sign Jeremy Guthrie.
- Jonny Gomes told Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle that he would like to return to the Athletics next season. The 31-year-old is hitting .248/.360/.478 with 15 homers in 267 plate appearances this year.

Athletics To Sign Jonny Gomes
TUESDAY, 8:32pm: Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle reports (on Twitter) that the deal is worth $1MM with another $200K in incentives.
FRIDAY, 4:07pm: The deal is for approximately $1.1MM, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets.
11:41am: The Athletics have agreed to sign Jonny Gomes, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reported yesterday that the A's were nearing a deal with the Petaluma, California native.
Gomes, 31, posted a .209/.325/.389 line with 14 homers in 372 plate appearances for the Reds and Nationals in 2011. The ACES client has a career .311/.407/.456 line against left-handed pitching, so his skillset should complement left-handed hitting outfielders such as Seth Smith and Josh Reddick.
Conor Jackson and Johnny Damon were also considerations for the A's, who were looking for an outfielder capable of hitting left-handers, according to Slusser. GM Billy Beane has traded for Smith and Reddick and re-signed Coco Crisp this offseason to build his 2012 outfield.

A's Notes: Taylor, Gomes, Damon, Outman, Moscoso
On this date in 1986, the Mets and Twins completed a five-player trade involving former first rounder Billy Beane. Now the Athletics' GM, Beane completed a trade today, obtaining Seth Smith from Colorado for Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman. Here are the latest Athletics-related links…
- Beane says the Athletics are still looking for right-handed hitting outfielder depth, Joe Stiglich of the Bay Area News Group tweets. Michael Taylor will have to play his way into the picture, according to Stiglich.
- John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle hears that the A's are pursuing a Jonny Gomes/Ryan Ludwick type for depth. The A's haven't ruled out Johnny Damon, Shea tweets.
- Outman told Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle that the trade was "bittersweet," but that he's "not mad by any means," Pitching so far above sea level will be an adjustment for the fly ball pitcher, however.
- Moscoso told Slusser that he's "in shock," although he's looking forward to the opportunity in Colorado.

Rockies Interested In Jonny Gomes
With Michael Cuddyer and Josh Willingham looking for three-year contracts, the possibility exists that the Rockies will shift their focus to a more powerful platoon player to pair with Seth Smith. With that in mind, the Rockies have expressed interest in free agent outfielder Jonny Gomes, according to Troy E. Renck of The Denver Post.
The Rockies were in on Grady Sizemore but with the centerfielder on the cusp of a one-year deal with the Indians the club is now exploring other options. Using Gomes with Smith in a platoon would be an affordable solution. Last season, Gomes hit .209/.325/.389 with 14 homers.

- Mark Zuckerman of NatsInsider says the Nationals could have room on their roster for Rick Ankiel next year, though it would probably be as a fourth outfielder. There's "virtually no chance" the Nationals re-sign Laynce Nix and Ankiel, according to Zuckerman. Jonny Gomes could be back, but the out-of-options Roger Bernadina isn't assured of a roster spot going forward.
- The Mets announced that Johan Santana will rest to prepare for the 2012 season instead of playing winter ball or pitching more in the instructional league. GM Sandy Alderson says he's optimistic that Santana will "maintain a Spring Training schedule with all other Mets pitchers next February and will be ready for the start of the 2012 season." The Mets owe the left-hander $24MM in 2012, $25.5MM in 2013 and at least a $5.5MM buyout in 2014.
- The Mets also announced that bench coach Ken Oberkfell, third base Coach Chip Hale, first base coach Mookie Wilson and bullpen coach Jon Debus won't be back in 2012. The A's signed Hale to be manager Bob Melvin's bench coach for the next two years.

Gomes Would Likely Accept Arbitration Offer
When the Nationals acquired outfielder Jonny Gomes from the Reds on July 26th, one consideration was the possibility of a supplemental draft pick. Gomes projected as a Type B free agent then, and still did as of a few weeks ago. However, Gomes wants to remain with the Nationals, and he told Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post that if the team offers arbitration, "I'll probably take it."
In Gomes, Rick Ankiel, and Laynce Nix, the Nationals have three veteran free agent oufielders. In the opinion of GM Mike Rizzo, "all three of them have had good solid seasons." Gomes, 30, is hitting .209/.325/.389 with 14 home runs in 372 plate appearances this year for the Nationals and Reds. He's shown an improved inclination to draw walks, though his power has been lacking. As a pinch-hitter Gomes has one hit and six walks in 43 plate appearances, but as a starter he's hitting .233/.347/.436 in 329 PAs.

Ok, I know this sounds like obvious advice, but I learned something tonight.
Don't spit into your beer.
I'm a sanitation freak. I must use 50 gallons of water, and a half gallon of bleach, along with a healthy dose of no-rinse stuff, before I'm ready to bottle.
Tonight was no exception. My bottles came out of the dishwasher, got a dipping in no-rinse for good measure, and were standing by. After washing my hands with an anti-bacterial soap, I was ready to siphon my Sierra Nevada Clone from the secondary, to the dispensing bucket with the tap on the bottom.
Priming sugar already in place, I washed my lips with some Isopropyl Alchohol to kill any lip borne germs that might infect my siphon hose, (note to self- I'm out of Scotch again).
I'll admit that I'm new to home brewing, and that most of my siphoning experience involves gasoline. Suffice to say, that when I siphon something, my gut reaction is to spit it out as soon as possible.
So I did. Right into my bottling bucket.
"Whew", I thought at first. That was close, I almost spit it all on the floor.
Then it dawned on me.
Back to square one...
I usually fill up my siphon hose with sanitizer by sucking on the end. Leaving about 1" of an air bubble (so I don't have to spit), cover it with my thumb, then dip the end back in the sanitizer. Then I put the wand in the wort and drain into a spare container until the wort comes out, then put it into the fermentor.
dude, that's hillarious. sounds like something i would do.
so do you guys immediately cap the bottles? or do they get exposed to the atmosphere for any duration? what about the bottling bucket? does that get sealed up too, or is it exposed to the atmosphere for the duration of the bottlign session?
I cap mine 12 or so at a time, while i'm bottling. I also put the clean lid from my fermentor on my bottle bucket loosely. Probably not necessary but makes me feel better. Especially if you have pets. I would hate to serve oen of my beauties to a friend, and a dog hair roll out into their glass!
They have two holes on top. You put your racking can through one and you blow into the other. The positive pressure in the vessel forces the wort out through the racking cane.
It's easy to start a siphon without any sucking or blowing - both of which are unsanitary. Using a long sanitized hose, sanitize your hands, push the hose down into the beer, use a thumb to plug the end, pull it out (full of beer) and down below the top level of the container. When you release your thumb, the siphon will start.
I usually use an autosiphon (worth every penny), but occasionally use the above technique to take a quick gravity reading or something.

You enter this church...not as a stranger but as a guest of God. He is your heavenly Father. Come, then, with joy in your heart and thanks on your lips into His presence, offering Him your love & service. Be grateful to the strong ones, who in the name of Jesus Christ, built this place of worship , and to all who have beautified it and hallowed it with their prayers and praise. Keep in mind our founders who under the leadership of Mgsr. Edmund J. Dietzel saw a bright future for the people of West Seneca & Orchard Park. Ask Gods blessing on those who love his house of faith as the inspiration of their labor, rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit. And may that blessing rest on you, both on your going out and your coming in.

A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?'
The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.' God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.'

NBC Does Entire Segment on U.S. Egypt Policy Without Mentioning Obama by Name

NBC Does Entire Segment on U.S. Egypt Policy Without Mentioning Obama by Name
In an impressive display of journalistic gymnastics on Friday's NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie and Meet the Press moderator David Gregory managed to have an entire discussion about U.S. policy in Egypt without mentioning President Obama by name.
Plenty of vague substitutions were used, including "the President" "the White House" "the administration" and most popularly, "the U.S." Anything to avoid actually holding Barack Obama accountable for the internal strife plaguing a key ally in the Middle East. Even the headline on screen during the morning show segment read: "Chaos in Egypt; What Options Does U.S. Have?"

WESTERN WAYS: Jaeger-LeCoultre's chief executive officer Jerome Lambert spent time on the West Coast recently to toast the opening of the luxury watch brand's 600-square-foot South Coast Plaza store with a 40-person dinner at Marche Moderne. The store will be the first U. S. location implementing the retail concept unveiled at the Place Vendôme store last month in Paris. A week later, a similar-sized store, the company's 51st worldwide, will open at the Wynn Las Vegas, carrying about 150 timepieces. "In 2008 the West Coast was hurting more than our other regions so it took longer to recover, but it's coming back even stronger now," Lambert said. Looking forward, Lambert emphasized the importance of ladies' watches and the trend toward mechanical movements, a feat of engineering given their smaller size. Diane Kruger is the current face for the brand's Rendez-Vous timepiece. Jaeger-LeCoultre's fifth U.S. retail store will open in Palm Beach early next month.

Yes, the Sochi Olympics are closed, but there are a few stories by the Ball State At The Games team that are still worth reading after the fact. This group shot was taken about 3:30 a.m. as we prepared to leave our temporary home on the Louise Olympia cruise ship.
One of the more heart-breaking stories of the Olympics was the plight of homeless dogs. Reporter Kourtney Cooper found local volunteers who were trying to help the animals.
Vladimir Putin's anti-gay statements prior to the games attracted considerable attention, so reporter Ryan Howe set out to take a deep look at the gay bar scene. His story first appeared in The Advocate.
Black people are not a common sight in Russia. Reporter Dominque Stewart, an African-American, found herself the object of much curiosity and wrote a first-person account of her experience.
Several members of the Ball State At the Games team took the 45-minute train ride from Adler to Sochi to explore and report on Sochi, the city by the Black Sea. Taylor Irby took this photo along the riverwalk.
We saw beautiful sunsets practically every day. No photographer could resist the natural beauty. Ball State photographer Taylor Irby produced this shot.
All out of the outdoor Olympic events were held in what was called the mountain cluster site. I had incorrectly identified the mountains the Ural mountains, but they are actually the Caucasus mountains. Ball State photographer Taylor Irby made this photo when she took the train up to the mountain site.
Ball State photographer Matt Amaro saw this woman nurturing a stray in downtown Sochi, which is a 45-minute train ride from where the Olympic events were held.
Reporters and photographers on the Ball State At The Games team saw stray dogs practically every place we went, except around the official Olympic sites and venues. I saw very few cats. Photographer Marcey Burton saw this homeless dog after it had been given something to chew on by one of the rescue volunteers.
There were performers of all sorts during the week the Ball State team was roaming the grounds of the Olympic Park. This shot was taken by Rebekah Floyd.
I know I used a photo several days ago showing a long line in Sochi for the Olympics. I can't help myself. Here's an even better shot that demonstrates how chaotic it seemed on several days. Photo by Ball State photographer Rebekah Floyd, a member of the bsuatthegames.com team.
Ball State photographer Rebekah Floyd captured another view of the drumline in Olympic Park last week.

Ball State photographer Marcey Burton collected these stones from the beaches of the Black Sea for her favorite uncle. Wish I had thought of that.

The Olympics rings are a popular destination with visitors. By afternoon, a long line usually forms to get photos taken under the iconic rings. Photo by Ryan Sparrow, bsuatthegames.com
I've been promising to post more photos from our experience at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, so here we go. This first shot of a performer dressed in the traditional Kazak uniform at Olympic Park was taken by veteran photographer Ryan Sparrow, a Ball State faculty member and leader of the bsuatthegames.com team of student journalists
I've actually been back from Russia since Saturday, but a sore throat has knocked out most of my week. However, the bsuatthegames.com team has been working hard to polish the many stories and photos they have been working on. The student journalists struggled a bit in the beginning as they adapted to such unusual circumstances in Sochi and the Olympic sites, but once they settled in they tackled their assignments with gusto.
I still intend to post some of the wonderful photos that the students and faculty produced, but that will be a task for Friday. In the meantime, check out their website, which is full of journalistic goodness.
We wrapped up our trip with nearly a full day of sightseeing in Moscow. I'd been in Red Square some 24 years ago, but it was fascinating to revisit the historic site. I think the students would tell you the afternoon there was a trip highlight. We finished the day with a wonderful group dinner at Cafe Pushkin. Of course, we topped off the meal with a robust vodka toast. Russian tradition says once a bottle is opened, it has to be finished. Mission accomplished.
SOCHI - The U.S. men routed Slavakia, 7-1, in hockey tonight at the Shayba Arena.
Warning: I am no expert on hockey, but I enjoy watching games here and there, so buying an advance ticket for the game was a no-brainer for me. Slavakia had a fairly large contingent of fans at the game, but surely the fans were disappointed in their team's performance.
The Shayba Arena, with a capacity of 7,000, was nearly full. It's a pretty nice arena, it being new and all. But it was chilly and I am glad I had a coat. It was fun to root for the USA. I even had a face paint. Send enough rubles and I'll even show you a photo.
Americans were easy to spot with their U.S. garb. l met Tatiana Dudley of Bainbridge Island and her long-time friend Yevgeniy Zhirnov of Poulsbo in Kitsnap County. Both of them are official volunteers in the Athlete's Village and arrived here on Jan. 20 for volunteer training. Dudley's husband will be arriving on Sunday. Dudley and Zhirnov are both Russian-born who moved to the U.S. many years ago. The two will remain here until the Olympics conclude. Dudley says the accommodations in the Volunteers Village are adequate and they've not had to deal with some of the horrors that visitors have encountered in newly-built facilities.
Our group concludes it's visit today and we'll be heading to the Sochi airport by the time most of you will see this post. We fly to Moscow, where we will spend the day touring. On Saturday, we're due to fly to Amsterdam. I am arranging to stay overnight in Amsterdam so that I can tour the Anne Frank house. I intend to write a story about the historic site.
SOCHI - I tagged along with Ball State reporter Jeremy Ervin and photographer Taylor Irby in pursuit of an interesting story about all the Olympic paraphernalia being sold this week. We met four Americans from the Bay Area who arrived via Istanbul today, as well as a Russian-born young woman now living in Sacramento who is here with three of her buddies from the states. It was fun to have conversations without needing translators.
I was feeling fairly full of myself after successfully navigating the trip to Sochi without the aid of one of our trusty translators. We took the train into Sochi, found the shopping mall we needed to visit and came away with the material needed to supplement Ervin's earlier reporting work. I promised the students that I would make sure they would not be killed or lost, so my work here is done.
The most popular, Olympics-branded souvenirs and clothing seem to be stuffed animals, gloves, nesting dolls and jerseys of all sorts. Don't get me started on the tiny pins that are almost like currency around here. Collectors have made the art of pin trading a common and popular mini-sport.
