This is a sweet card or print for new mums, babies nurseries, children's rooms or daycare centres and maternity hospitals…that kind of thing
Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine.

I have many more to come, and although I won't be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …

George Thomson and Nick Wilson from the University of Otago in Wellington, New Zealand, analysed the results of national surveys on smoking in bars and attitudes to smoking. The surveys were taken before and after the implementation of the new law, which made all work places, including bars and restaurants, smokefree from December 2004. Thomson and Wilson also studied data obtained from Statistics New Zealand, the Liquor Licensing Authority and interviews with government officials.
The study found that the proportion of smokers who reported that they smoked "more than normal" when going out decreased from 57.8% in 2004 to 28.6% in 2005. Public support for smokefree policies for pubs and bars increased between November 2004 and April 2005. Support from smokers went from 22% to 42% and support from bar managers went from 44% to 60%. Caf� and restaurant sales grew by 9.3% in 2005.

The city of Las Vegas fired back last week against allegations by the New Mexico Pipeline Safety Bureau that it likely violated safety requirements in the operation of its natural gas system.
The notice of probable violation stems from a Feb. 9 gas explosion and subsequent fire that destroyed the Church Street home belonging to John Singletary. Reports by the fire marshal's office and the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission's Pipeline Safety Bureau state that the explosion was caused by a leak in the city's main natural gas line.
A Las Vegas man arrested in September for robbing the Allsup's on Seventh Street returned to the store early Monday morning and robbed it again, a court document states.
Nicholas Leyba, 23, of the 700 block of Dalbey Drive, was arrested and booked into the San Miguel County jail on Monday. He is charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault and tampering with evidence, according to court documents filed in San Miguel County Magistrate Court.
The Associated Press
LAS CRUCES — An expected dry growing season could hurt the chile crop in southern New Mexico.
There's a shortage of river water in Doña Ana County and a lack of a good groundwater supply in the Hatch area. Growers also say they're leaning toward planting cotton instead because of the water outlook. Cotton takes less water. Hatch vegetable farmer Jerry Franzoy says cotton looks especially favorable because it's experiencing a market boom this year.
By Ben Feller The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Vigorously defending American attacks in Libya, President Barack Obama declared Monday night that the United States intervened to prevent a slaughter of civilians that would have stained the world's conscience and "been a betrayal of who we are" as Americans. Yet he ruled out targeting Moammar Gadhafi, warning that trying to oust him militarily would be a mistake as costly as the war in Iraq.
Customers on the city of Las Vegas water system should prepare to pay five times what they currently pay for water, Mayor Alfonso Ortiz is warning.
"The bottom line is people better expect a rate increase," Ortiz said Thursday evening during a public meeting where city consultants outlined tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements being considered for the city's water system.
Music, comedy and dance once again filled the stage during the 17th annual Fiesta de La Hispanidad Saturday evening at Ilfeld Auditorium. This year's line up included students from Los Niños Elementary and popular accordionist Antonia Apodaca.
A 45-year-old Las Vegas woman has been booked into the San Miguel County Detention Center on an open count of murder after she allegedly stabbed her husband multiple times at a home on the 1400 block of Salazar Street Friday morning.
Susana Aguilar is also being charged with one count of tampering with evidence, Las Vegas police Chief Christian Montaño said.
Her husband, 48-year-old Michael Martinez, died at the home.
Newly elected Las Vegas City Schools board members Gloria Lovato-Pacheco, Ricky Serna and Felix Alderete were sworn in during a marathon meeting on Tuesday.
Alderete was elected board president, Serna vice president and former board president Gabriel Lucero was named secretary.

Flu Watch
This is a community study of behavioral & biological determinants of transmission to inform seasonal & pandemic planning.
The study commenced in 2006, and is funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC). Households distributed across England have been recruited through the MRC General Practice Research Framework (GPRF). We have followed the cohort through several influenza seasons, and defined cases of influenza infection through pre-and post season serology and divided them into symptomatic and asymptomatic cases based on symptom diaries. Viral shedding has been identified through self-submitted nasal swabs for RT-PCR identification of influenza, and nformation on patient contact patterns has been collected, providing empirical data to inform models of pandemic and seasonal influenza transmission. In nested case control studies, pre and post season blood samples from patients with confirmed influenza and controls have been used to assess the T cell response to influenza using a validated interferon-gamma elispot assay. External collaborators include colleagues at University of Oxford and the Health Protection Agency.
Andrew Hayward is the principal investigator. The study team also includes Faiza Tabassum, Ellen Fragaszy, Fatima Wurie and Cherry Constantine.
Flu Watch/MOSAIC collaborative study
UCL Study Coordinator – Fatima Wurie
MOSAIC (Mechanisms of Severe Acute Influenza Consortium) is a UK-wide consortium of research groups studying influenza pathogenesis in patients hospitalised with severe H1N1 disease during the pandemic. It is a MRC/Wellcome Trust funded study led by Chief Investigator Professor Peter Openshaw, Imperial College London.
Flu Watch are collaborating with MOSAIC in comparing the genetic profiles of subjects mildly infected with H1N1 and seasonal strains with that of those who were severely ill and hospitalised or died as a result of influenza infection. It is anticipated that this collaborative study will provide useful insights into understanding genetic determinants of severe infection.

Porno movie portal » lava discover 135 pc suite for windows 7 64 bit |
lava discover 135 pc suite for windows 7 64 bitA royal with please!Here is some other chapter in our ongoing Nawlin's affair!
I desire u on the balcony, lounging in a hotel robe! You've a kewl margarita, a light snack & a bottle of baby oil. U will walk around our suite nude our giant windows will at no time have curtains drawn! U parade around lying on the daybed , changing channels & stretching out in yoga poses. Heartless StepMother part 12Barbara began to cry afresh, as this babe picked up the pail and started washing greater amount windows. This babe had washed almost any of the windows on one side of the abode, when this babe heard the car drive up. This babe sat back on her heels and sighed in relief that this babe'd gotten so much done in Helen's absence.
Chapter Three 'What in God's name have u done, gal!' Chrystal Persuasion Chapter 1_Fucked Up part 9'Yeah, well, that's what I expected. No problem.' Alex pulled away and huddled at the end of the ottoman, all curled up in a ball.
'Hey, I'm not done. U were worried so I followed up some greater amount. I went to the hotel and quizzed 'em about the older guy, u know, the one that didn't participate but appeared to be to be in charge. I figured this guy rented the hotel suite. No Control part 2This guy walks up behind me and lowers a necklace in front of me. It's his favourite - the one this guy says brings out the color of my eyes. I close my eyes as I feel his warm fingers on my neck brushing aside my hair as this guy fastens the chain around my mouth. His hands are so rock hard. So capable of reducing me to a molten puddle of lava. I feel him gently kiss my stripped ear as this guy whispers how gorgeous I look to him.
Heartless StepMother part 10After cleaning the dishes, this babe went to her bedroom and jumped into a couple of shorts, pants, her brassiere and a tee-shirt. After searching the utility closet this babe discovered there was no window cleaning liquid anywhere. Quickly this babe decided to use detergent, mixed it in water and set out to clean the windows. It didn't take lengthy to discover that the detergent was leaving streaks when this babe tried to rub it off.
CampingWe were tenting it this weekend. I know for many of u exhibitionism wouldn't be everything. But I've at no time done everything like that. My spouse followed me into the giant tent, with all the windows and door wide open. People were everywhere. This guy knew I was gonna shut all the windows and zip up the door in advance of undressing. Instead, this guy pulled my shirt up over my head, leaving me in my brassiere.
Pool Anyone? part 3We popped some beers and collapsed on the furniture in the living area of the suite. There was a giant LCD flat panel TV in the room, so I asked if they'd like to see smth. They told, "Maybe a video!" I quickly suggested streaming smth from the web, and they concurred. Coz I do many audiovisual presentations in my work, I had the hardware to connect my laptop to the TV.
My Cousin Sofia part 14cockhead unfathomable into her body. The wad ricocheted off her
interior wall with such f***e, Sofia gasped. "I feel it! U're cumming inside me!" Her slit squeezed my prick, milking greater amount and greater amount lava of love into her very depths. At that pont of time I realized that I was dearly in love with Sofia, much greater amount than I was ever in love Blackmailed part 24"What the hell is this babe doing to me?" this guy whispered to no one. "This babe's gone way too far. I've gotta discover a way to stop her! I've gotta!"
*** "Hello, Vic. Got some time for your s****r?" Outside, thunder rumbled and lightning crashed. Enormous sheets of rain hammered against the windows. The storm had turned what should have been a bright, blue late summer afternoon into twilight. The bridal suite part 5We entered the room, not the same one as final night. This was much larger with a suite of furniture and a four poster. `We got u the bridal suite` Pete told. `Now as u know, all brides need to satisfy there men` This guy smiled. `so what are u gonna do` i could not speak. `WHAT?` this guy shouted. 2 hands then removed my coat. `I need to be a nice wife` i whispered. `Good` this guy told. `Lets check to watch that that body of yours is still in nice shape.

Specifics, Pan!! I need to know where to try to get twitch to stand when we throw him back into the sewers. I think I need mental help sometimes..... LETS PISS OFF TWITCH SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!!! -.- I am going get arrows in my ass and knee. and die slow..... Note to self: need home security system, look into runes of lightening, Geokhan, not about to piss off anyone who isn't bigger than me or locked up.

Pantheon... welcome. How's your dress? Ahaha. Kidding. Your people could be so powerful if they tried to expand. Why don't you ever try to conquer other areas? Noxus would love to rise to your challenge.
Dear Pantheon I was meaning to ask a few questions about you and a few about Leona the Radiant Dawn. As I can't contact her seperately and cause it would be awkward for me travel all the way to Mount Targon just to ask one or two questions, would it be alright if you could pass them along for me? The first question was what is your shield made of? I understand it is a relic weapon with a vast history having been used in countless battles, not just your own. The second one is what would you consider to be a good day? I would already assume leaving behind a wake of destruction in your enemies forces would be a good start, but what do you really enjoy? What makes that day extra special? The last one, what was your reaction when the Solari claimed Leona as her execution failed? These questions I have are for Leona. I can imagine living in devotion to the Sun, would probably reduce the amount of time you get to see the world around you. Have you ever left Mount Targon with the exception to the League of Legends? If so where? and how did you feel about the new location. the next question is what do you enjoy eating? Is it a hearty meal with meats and lavashing consumables or something simple like a fruit? What does it feel like being able to call down instense rays from the Sun? How close are you to Luxanna, the Lady of Luminosity? I ask because she too commands the forces of Light I just thought you two might get along, better than say Malzahar?
Ask Shyvana
Have you considered applying for a position with Morgana's bakery? I wouldn't mind purchasing a shield cookie.

Ask people to make it look nice for you. I know there are people on here with some level of artistic skill. The basic layout is more important though. Then the community can start discussing what is good or bad about it.
Junior Member
The problem with a new map is balancing it for the champions. Each new champion added is balanced for a particular role or roles (more or less), so you're already tweaking them for the twenty plus champions in that lane. Can you imagine balancing every single champion to a new map, and then against each other? Look at Dominion, that is essentially a "new map." Remember how it was on release? It still has balance issues, and since Summoner's Rift has the competitive scene, champion balance will always take precedence on there over a new map. I would be very surprised and impressed if Riot could release a new moba-style map that was different from Summoner's Rift, didn't interfere with the competitive scene, utilized all the champions (versus Nasus on Dominion), and was above all; fun.
Instead of trying to make all champions excel at all maps, just focus on having certain champions excel at certain maps. I would be perfectly fine with it if I only ever saw a champ on dominion because they were balanced for dominion. If you make champs viable only on certain maps, then players will play those champs on those maps. It's a way to get all maps played instead of just SR.

The community isn't making a large enough buzz for RIOT to take notice just yet. They won't risk investing time and money to make something nobody wants. Basic supply-demand stuff. No buyers for product=no product creation. 2 pages and 400 views isn't even 0.001% of the buzz needed.

6v6, 2 lanes, 2 junglers, 2 to each lane. Would be really exciting and fast paced.
As far as making champs have different kits on different maps, the answer will always be no. This would essentially be making a completely new champ to balance, then when you have everything worked out, slapping a pre-existing champ's model and lore on it. Just no. It may sound cool, but no. We as a community have to accept that SR is going to be the only competition space, at least for a long long time. It would be very difficult to balance another map around the same champions. Doing so would require an almost entirely separate set of items (more drastic than the difference in Dominion) and tweaking of the map until it is fair. Even if that ever happened (don't hold your breath) new champs would have to be examined in both maps for fairness, and that could get very tricky. All this being said, none of what I have said means we can't have new maps. They won't be fine tuned for balance, and they won't get the same attention as SR, but they can be a fun and unique play experience, and I am all for it. But because, as was mentioned, the community is not talking about this enough, those of us who have the vision need to do some work. If we get enough chatter, maybe we can get our own sub-forum for map concepts.
What about a King of The Hill type map? or maybe capture the flag? its possible, i dont see why it wouldnt be. KotH: There is a tower in the center of the map(like the dominion towers) and one team must hold that tower for a duration of time, or amount of points. (so kinda like dominion, but more action) CTF: There are two teams, and they each have a flag located just out side there base.(middle lane perhaps? or maybe dont have any lanes, just an open battle field.) And each team must have a summoner, or minion, grab the enemy flag and return it to base. There is a large number of things Riot can do, i dont see why it has to be strictly a "Lane" based game. It would get many more players if they made the game more wide spanned.

A coolant leak can develop from the front of the cylinder head that can appear to be a head gasket leak. There is a threaded plug just below the camshaft that may leak if there is corrosion present on the threads. Cleaning any residue, re-installing the plug with pipe thread (Teflon) tape, and torquing the plug to the specification typically repairs the leak.

Newest reported Nissan Maxima problems
AC Not Cold Due to Pressure Hose Leak
The AC system may blow warm air due to refrigerant loss caused by a leaking low pressure AC hose. These hoses commonly develop a leak at the hose crimp connection.
Right Side Engine Mount May Wear and Cause Excessive Movement
The engine mount on the right side can wear prematurely and cause excessive engine movement.
Various Electrical Issues Due to Damaged Engne Wire Harness
One or more wires in the engine wiring harness may break at the harness bend near the right strut tower. Symptoms include: Check Engine Light illumination, rough idle, drivability problems, and/or an inoperative air conditioner. Any broken wires will need to be repaired.
Trunk Lock Assembly May Fail Causing Various Issues
The rear spoiler (if equipped) may allow water to leak into the trunk and onto the trunk lock assembly. This could cause corrosion on the lock assembly leading to false "trunk open" signals to the body control module (BCM) and erroneous security alarm system activation.
Failed External Seal on Engine Oil Cooler May Leak
The external seal on the engine oil cooler can fail and create an oil leak.
Oxygen Sensor May Fail Due to Leaking Power Steering Pump
Oxygen sensor failures are common due to fluid leaks from the power steering pump. The power steering pump typically leaks directly onto the sensor and causes the wiring to fail. If the leaks are not repaired when the oxygen sensor is replaced, the sensor will fail again.
code 325 with any other code
code 325 piggy backs just about any other code when a failure occurs.
Nissan calls this a ghost code. It is a software glitch that has never been solved. In most cases, repair the primary code and the 325 does not return.
the only way this code is valid is if it is a stand alone code with no other issues.
Service Engine light came on. Took it to Auto-Zone initially. The diagnostic tool pointed to the EGR valve. I then took the car to a Nissan dealership who advised me it was indeed the EGR valve "stuck in the open position" along with a bad bank 1 convertor. Now, according to the dealership the engine is burning oil. Time for a second opinion.
Failing navigation unit may display disc error on screen
Leaking power steering pump can cause noise/steering problems
If the power steering pump develops leaks, it can drip onto the lower control arm bushing causing the bushing to deteriorate. A knocking noise will be heard when driving over bumps and it may become more difficult to control the vehicle.
ECM updates for Check Engine Light issues
Software/programming updates to the Engine Control Module (ECM) are available to help solve some issues with Check Engine light illumination.

Just ordered the AG Winter Warmer from Austin Home Brew, looks delicious. Since it has a high gravity (1.073) Austin suggests double pitching, which I am going to do. However, I'm a little nervous about this high gravity because I am going to use the suggested dry yeast Munton's Premium Gold Yeast and not to doubt Austin, but I have heard bad things about Muntons. Perhaps their premium yeast is better?
I used Muntons premium yeast once with a low gravity beer and I was happy with the results. You might want to check the pitch rate though using this:http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html It says to pitch 2.9 packets of 5 gram yeast packets based on 1.073 gravity. If i remember correctly, I think the Muntons are 6 grams. Let us know how it turns out!
"It is sheer folly to be taken by the hand and led down the path of better brewing by someone who says that they know it all. No, it is your experience that counts most. It is your experience that will always lead you to more questions." ~Charlie Papazian
I made this and used safale us-05. Double pitched and it came out just fine.
It is not Muntons in general as a company. Regular Muntons yeast has been reported to be sluggish. We never received any complaints but we switched all of the recipes we had with Muntons, we switched to the premium yeast. The premium yeast has always gotten rave reviews by homebrewers. No guilt by association. Forrest
Just put 5 gallons of AHS Winter Warmer - Extract w/ Muntons Premium Gold yeast into bottle and below is my report for your review. Brewed on 11-25-09. Overall brew day went well. Staring gravity was 1.074, receipe states 1.073. I used 10 lb. of Extra Pale Extract. Nothing more really to say about brew day. At time of pitching yeast I had aerated using a "paint mixer" attached to drill. I have used this method for every brew and I have had great success. I did do the recommend "double pitch" per Austin Homebrew. Placed fermenter in my basement area. Temps started at 67 F. then winter came and basebent went down to 64 F. Fermentation was very active first 4 days then slowed gradually after that. Fermentation basically stoped after seven days (no activity in air lock). I did not do any gravity readings untill 12-21-09. I had 26 days of fermentation. About every seven days I would give the Carboy a shake just to see if that would wake up any yeast. Overall I do not know if the helped or not. At time of botteling I checked FG and it was at 1.026. Receipe calls for 1.019. I could have left the fermentation go longer by racking to secondary put this was the only time I had to bottle. I guess I should have let the beer go to secondary and hope the FG would come down a bit. So, not sure if the Muntons Premium Gold did not attenuate well or were there other factors that caused the FG not to hit the 1.026 mark. Next time I would like to try Safale US-04 yeast. When I have use US-04 I do hit my FG, but, US-04 might not go well with the Winter Warmer brew.
Look like everything went perfectly. It is an ale so fermenting down to 64 degrees would have slowed the fermentation down or stopped it early. There is only so much sugar for the yeast to eat. It is very very easy to predict the original gravity. It is close to impossible for us to predict the final gravity for a specific beer. Especially if there are 3 different yeast options there will be 3 different final gravities. We make an educated average guess on the final gravity of all of our recipes. The recipe sheet may not be accurate for the final gravity for Muntons Dry yeast. The original gravity is based on the amount of sugars and has nothing to do with the yeast. The final gravity has everything to do with the yeast. And since it is a living thing no one can accurately predict the final gravity. On top of that the number we provide is only a guideline. The 1.026 you reach is accurate because that is what you reached. I am going to change the recipe sheet for that recipe to 1.025 for the final because that is closer to what it should be according to your results. Thanks for your help. You could make another batch doing the same exact thing with another Muntons Premium yeast and get different results. I would contend that if you had made the same batch under the same conditions with S-04 you would get virtually the same results. There is nothing wrong with the yeast you used. I think you would have lowered your FG by a couple points if you would have fermented around 70 degrees. No matter which yeast you used. If you do the next batch of the same beer with the S-04 at a warmer temperature and it finishes a little drier, it is not Muntons or S-04 fault, it is the temperature. I hope this helps. Forrest
The standard Muntons yeast was selected to work well with their can + sugar kits. With half the fermentables being cane sugar, they didn't want high attenuation on the malt. So if it is used with an all-malt recipe, the FG is high. The Gold is a more standard ale yeast adapted to all-malt brewing.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Forrest: Thanks for your commentary about my results. Being new to the world of homebrewing I look at the receipe sheets that come with kits as rules to follow. I think, as I have used your kits and others, I am finding they are at best a guidline and not to be held accountable if the OG and FG do not hit the stated values. Looking back at the twelve brews that I have done this year, eight did hit the stated OG, two hit stated FG. My lesson learned here is that attenuation is subjective. My goal going into 2010 is to talk with local club members to better learn, understand attenuation and learn factors that will help me improve attenuation. As a suggestion to your brewing sheets. Could you show a range for OG and FG. That way if I did not hit the stated OG or FG I am not going to the Homebrewtalk.com and asking the population what the heck I did wrong? Once again Forrest, thanks for your feedback.
You can easily figure out OG on any recipe to see if the sheet is accurate. Extract is 35 points per pound per gallon. Base Grains are 28 points per pound per gallon. Specialty Grains are 20 points per pound per gallon. So for example: 1 1/2 lb of specialty grain x 20 = 30 points 1 lb of base grain x 28 = 28 points 7 lb of Extract x 35 = 245 points Total = 313 points 303 divided by 5 for a 5 gallon batch = 60.6 or 1.0606 The final gravity depends on the yeast, time, temperature, procedure, etc. Forrest

Description This application claims priority to provisional Application Ser. No. 60/496,948 filed Aug. 20, 2003. This invention relates to apparatus and method for building microelectronic modules having one or two conductive faceplates, imprinting methods, and their application to blade servers and supercomputers. Conventional printed circuit boards are constructed using copper signal planes laminated between glass-epoxy layers. Copper planes (foils) are also used for ground and for power supply voltages. For conventional epoxy laminate boards, trace and space dimensions are typically 100 microns each for a trace pitch of 200 microns, and hole diameters for plated through holes are typically 340 microns or more. More advanced boards are available from companies such as Unitive, Inc. of Research Triangle Park, N.C., USA. Unitive's boards employ BCB, a spin-on resin available from Dow Chemical Company, rather than glass-epoxy. For a copper trace thickness of 2-3 microns, these boards achieve trace widths as small as 12 microns and trace spacing as small as 13 microns; traces on different levels are connected using vias with a diameter of 35 microns and a pitch of 45-55 microns. At 10 GHz the dielectric constant of BCB is 2.65 and its dissipation factor is 0.002. Its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is 52 ppm/� C., and its moisture uptake is 0.14% by weight (as reported by Dow Chemical). Moisture uptake is critical because small amounts of absorbed water can substantially raise the effective dielectric constant, and a higher dielectric constant may effectively prohibit high frequency operation. The CTE of copper is 17 ppm/� C.; various researchers list the CTE of silicon as 2.6-4.2 ppm/� C. The coefficients of thermal expansion are important because the manufacturing process typically requires thermal cycles, and mismatches in CTE between materials in a stacked configuration result in mechanical stresses that can damage the board, or components attached to it. Additional thermal cycling is typically present during operation of the board, but usually this variation is less than during manufacturing and assembly. In recent years, imprinting methods have been developed for several products. An example is the compact disc (CD) that has been manufactured by pressing a master tool into a plastic material, leaving an imprint of the desired pattern. A feature size of one micron and a fabrication cost less than a dollar per square foot have been reported. For both integrated circuit manufacture and printed circuit board manufacture, the imprinting method has potential to be an inexpensive patterning method compared with current photolithographic patterning methods. Photolithography has been the mainstay of integrated circuit patterning for many decades; it generally requires highly sophisticated tools for projecting a beam of light through a mask onto photosensitive materials. A fabrication facility to process silicon wafers by this method typically costs more than US$1 B today. By contrast, imprinting requires unsophisticated tools, yet it can produce fine features, smaller than 100 nanometers in some applications. The tools required for imprinting generally include a laminating press with provisions for aligning the layers, and for heating the thermoplastic material to be patterned. Cold embossing has also been developed using glass tools with embossed features etched therein, and UV curable dielectrics. Electroplating is typically used to build up the copper layers, and chemical/mechanical polishing (CMP) is preferably used for planarizing each layer after plating. Imprinting and CMP methods can be combined to implement a dual damascene process using copper as the conductor material. Dual damascene processes are known in the art; �dual� refers to the fact that two depths of copper are implemented: trenches used for creating traces have a lesser depth than cylindrical holes for vias. The combination of tools for imprinting, plating and CMP may cost less than 1% of the cost of equivalent photolithographic tools. Other conductors may be used instead of copper, but copper offers a compelling combination of good electrical and thermal conductivity, adequate mechanical properties (especially in the form of dispersion strengthened copper, to be further discussed), and an infrastructure of existing tools and processes for drilling, electroplating, etching, and polishing at reasonable cost. Liquid crystal display (LCD) panel fabrication plants are now being built for glass panels measuring 1870�2200 mm. The thickness of these glass panels is 0.7 mm, similar to the preferred thickness of 0.6 mm for copper substrates of the current invention. This means that an infrastructure of semiconductor processing equipment, particularly including thin film coating and etching equipment could be adapted to handle copper substrates in panel sizes up to around 2 meters square. This may be useful for coating thin film adhesion layers and seed layers on large panels of the current invention, and for plasma etching dielectric materials, as will be further described. The photolithographic patterning capability for large panels, generally employing step and repeat exposure systems (�steppers�), may also be used for fabricating the embossing tools described herein. The preferred method of imprinting discussed herein uses an embossing tool in the form of a flexible foil, hereinafter called a �toolfoil�. It is also possible to use rigid embossing tools, particularly if release agents are applied to the tool to aid in separation; also if the impressions are shallow they require a relatively small force for release. A release agent comprised of low surface energy material such as teflon is also preferably provided on the toolfoils discussed herein. One method of making a toolfoil is to electroplate nickel in an additive process to create a master or �father� foil. The sidewalls of the plated features preferably have an angle of about 5� to the vertical. This release angle is useful so that negatives of fathers can be made to produce �mothers�, and negatives of mothers are made to produce �sons�, which are the equivalent of photo-tool working plates. Suitable toolfoils can be obtained from Tecan Components Ltd., Dorset, England. If the toolfoil is used to implement a dual damascene process, then two nickel thicknesses are required and two photo-tools (glass masks) will be used in the fabrication of the master. An alternative embodiment of the imprinting method may be used for large patterns that require a step and repeat methodology. Molecular Imprints of Austin, Tex., USA, has developed a step and flash imprint lithography process called S-Fil. In this process, a substrate is coated with an organic planarization layer. Then a low viscosity photo-polymerizable imprint solution is dispensed on the surface. A surface treated transparent template bearing patterned relief structures is aligned over the coated substrate. The template is lowered into contact with the substrate, thereby displacing the solution, filling the imprint field, and trapping the photo-polymerizable imprint solution in the template relief. Irradiation with UV light through the backside of the template cures the solution. The template is then separated from the substrate leaving a relief image on the surface that is a replica of the template pattern. A short halogen etch is used to clear any remaining thin webs of undisplaced material. A subsequent reactive ion etch into the planarization layer may be used to amplify the aspect ratio of the relief image. Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a new dielectric material that has recently become available for imprinting applications in the printed circuit board arena. An example of this material is R/Flex 3800 available from Rogers Corp., Circuit Materials Division, Chandler Arizona. It is available with a CTE matched to copper at 17 ppm/� C. Melting points of 280� C. and 315� C. are available, with thickness varying from 25 microns to 100 microns. From 1-10 GHz the dielectric constant is 2.9 and the dissipation factor is 0.002. The moisture uptake is 0.04% by weight (compared with 0.14% for BCB), resulting in good stability for high frequency applications. Dispersion strengthening is a method for improving the strength properties of copper, without seriously affecting its electrical and thermal conductivity. Cold rolled sheets of dispersion strengthened copper (DSC) known as Glidcop are available from SCM Metal Products, Inc., North Carolina. For use as a substrate for a printed circuit of the current invention, this material is available in thickness ranging from 125-625 microns. By incorporating minute amounts of aluminum oxide to pin the grain boundaries of the copper, the yield strength of DSC is typically improved by about 10 times, while the thermal and electrical properties are degraded by less than 1%. Electroplating methods are well known in the art. Current processes support fabrication of via structures with aspect ratios (depth:diameter) as great as 10. Using layered plating solutions and sophisticated power supplies including reverse pulse biasing, void-free plated structures are achievable. CMP is also well known in the art. A substrate to be polished is held in a polishing chuck so that typically one third of its edge dimension extends below the chuck. A polishing slurry is provided between the exposed surface and a rotating wheel having a finely textured surface; the substrate may simultaneously rotate and orbit in a planetary motion with respect to the wheel. The desired result is a polished planar surface with clearly defined copper features embedded in the dielectric resin. Modern computer circuits such as multi-chip modules for computer server applications typically operate at GHz frequencies and with large power supply currents at low operating voltages: 200 amps at 1.0V is a typical requirement. Cooling of the module is a critical issue, and building such circuits on a copper substrate can help address the cooling requirements. In addition, a �copper sandwich� will be described having integral copper plates at both the top and bottom of the assembly for improved ruggedness and better thermal access to the heat-producing chips. Flip chip assembly is generally recognized as the most advanced assembly method in terms of system density and performance. It enables bare integrated circuit (IC) chips to be assembled, in preference to packaged parts. The chips can have area arrays of input/output (I/O) bonding pads, rather than just at the chip periphery. Inductance of these chip-to-board connections is substantially lower than that of wire bonds, and power pins can be located close to the circuit blocks that need the power. Advanced flip chip assembly methods have recently been reported. One such method is to provide gold stud bumps on the IC chips, and corresponding wells filled with solder on the board. This structure supports pad pitches of 100 microns or less and also routine replacement of defective die using a rework process. There have been two major impediments to the integration of large systems that are exclusively or primarily assembled using flip chip assembly methods: the inability to effectively test such a system (particularly a functional test at full system speed), and the inability to rework defective chips in the assembly. For these reasons, many flip chip assemblies have been limited to 10 IC chips or fewer, because the cost of scrapping defective assemblies becomes prohibitive with a greater number of chips. Solutions to these problems have been recently proposed. Firstly, a special-purpose test chip or chips may be provided on the board under test; working together with a test support computer this chip can provide the means to functionally test the module at full system speed. The test chip preferably includes high speed sampling circuits and comparators that are under control of the support computer. The support computer performs low speed testing chores such as boundary scan and loading of test files, and also hosts diagnostic software for aiding a test operator in determining which chips need to be replaced, if any. Secondly, the proposed variation of flip chip assembly allows effective rework of defective chips. In summary, the rework method is as follows. The board is placed on a hot plate and the temperature is raised to a level just below the melting point of the solder in the wells (the preferred melting point of the preferred In:Ag solder is 143� C.). Then a rework wand emitting hot inert gas is directed at the backside of the defective chip; the solder in the wells melts for this chip, but not for neighboring chips that are not defective. Focused infra red systems have also been deployed for heating the area local to a single chip without melting the solder of surrounding chips. After the solder of the defective chip is molten, the stud bumps are withdrawn from the wells, the surface is inspected and cleaned as necessary, the wells are touched up with additional solder paste as required, and a replacement part is picked, flipped, aligned, and inserted. After re-flowing the solder for the replacement part and validating the assembly with another module test, the rework cycle is complete. There is preferably no epoxy under layer beneath the defective chip (whose removal would be labor intensive, difficult, and potentially damaging to the board). Also, there are no delicate traces around or near the I/O pads that can be damaged during the rework process; the receiving terminal becomes the solder paste in the well rather than the pad. Finally, the materials used easily tolerate the rework temperatures. These factors result in a rework procedure that may be repeated as many times as necessary, enabling the integration of systems comprising hundreds or thousands of IC chips, assembled onto a single monolithic high performance substrate (or blade). This high level of integration in turn enables supercomputer architectures of the current invention. The purpose of the epoxy under layer between chip and board is to prevent mechanical failure such as cracking that can arise from stresses accompanying temperature excursions that occur during manufacturing or operation. Part of the justification for eliminating this under layer in the proposed flip chip mounting structure is that the preferred arrangement of gold stud bumps inserted into wells filled with solder is mechanically stronger (shear forces can not easily detach a stud bump from its pad or a well from its pad). Because the stud bumps are formed from gold, and because gold is one of the most ductile materials, and because the proposed stud bumps have a pointed shape, the proposed structure is also more mechanically compliant than previous structures such as solder balls re-flowed onto matching lands. In addition, the low melting point of the proposed indium based solder (143� C.) results in lower thermal strains than would occur with commonly used solders that melt at higher temperatures (63:37 Sn:Pb solder melts at 183� C.). Even with this improved flip chip attachment it may be necessary to limit the maximum chip size in the proposed assembly structures, to limit the stress imposed. For interconnecting modules, module access cables have been proposed that use a similar arrangement of stud bumps and wells as described for attaching the IC chips. These module access cables can support pin pitches of 100 microns or less, and should be re-workable using the same method as outlined for reworking the IC chips. The current invention is intended to address the need for microelectronic assemblies that support operating frequencies of the order of 10 GHz (data rates of the order of 10 Gbps), and power supply currents of several hundred amps. An alternative application is to make lower performance electronic assemblies (sub 1 GHz) less expensively than using current printed circuit board and assembly methods. The preferred embodiment has a base copper layer for mechanical support. A method is described for fabricating feedthroughs in the copper substrate for signals and power. By alternately fabricating layers of dielectric resin and copper conductors, a printed circuit with multiple power and signal planes is built up. Imprinting is used to pattern the layers, preferably using nickel toolfoils. A special assembly layer is preferably fabricated on top of the interconnection circuit wherein a well filled with solder paste is provided at each I/O pad of the board. IC chips are provided with a gold stud bump at each of their I/O pads, and the chips are assembled onto the board by inserting the stud bumps into the wells, then melting the solder to form mechanical and electrical connections. In the preferred embodiment, no epoxy under layer is used between the IC chips and the board. After all the chips are assembled, tested, and reworked as required, a top copper plate may be attached to the backsides of the assembled IC chips, to make a robust mechanical, electrical and thermal package at the module level. An alternate embodiment supports fabrication of modules such as multi-chip modules (MCMs) or system in package (SIP) devices that are integrated onto a motherboard. The motherboard may be a conventional board employing glass-epoxy laminate for example, or a large interconnection circuit fabricated on a copper substrate using methods described herein. For either case, the copper substrate of the attached module is preferably provided with feeds for power and signals that pass through it and connect to the motherboard, typically on a 1 mm grid. In the preferred embodiment, imprinting is used to pattern thermo-plastic dielectric layers, and copper conductors are employed. LCP is the preferred dielectric material and DSC is the preferred form of copper for the base layer. After CMP has been used to polish and planarize the surface of a preceding layer, the following sequence summarizes the steps to form the next pair of interleaved dielectric and conducting layers:
A variation of this imprinting procedure will be described for forming the special assembly layer having wells at each of the I/O pads of the interconnection circuit. �Imprinting� and �embossing� are used interchangeably in this application. These techniques are employed to create copper-faced modules configured as blade servers, plus their integration into liquid-cooled supercomputers of the current invention. Preferred embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the following accompanying drawings. The copper-faced modules described herein can be integrated into servers and supercomputers to provide greater functional density and better cooling than have been available to date. As previously discussed, a semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure exists for flat panels as large as 2 meters on a side. In principle, large toolfoils could be fabricated for imprinting such a large panel in one step; the photo-imaging of such a large toolfoil area could be accomplished using a stepper exposure system, employing photolithographic exposure systems already in service for LCD manufacture. If this is done, the preferred dielectric material (LCP) can be used and high frequency circuits can be produced in large panels using a single imprint cycle. Alternatively, imprinting of large panels can be achieved using a step and repeat imprinting process like the S-Fil process already described.

Ross Stores Reports Strong First Quarter Earnings, Raises Fiscal Year 2012 Guidance and Increases Long-Term Store Growth Potential
Thursday, May 17, 2012
Ross Stores Reports Strong First Quarter Earnings, Raises Fiscal Year 2012 Guidance and Increases Long-Term Store Growth Potential08:30 EDT Thursday, May 17, 2012PLEASANTON, Calif., May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ross Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROST) today reported earnings per share for the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2012 of $.93, up from a split-adjusted $.74 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. These results represent a 26% increase on top of a 28% gain in last year's first quarter. Net earnings for the 2012 first quarter grew to $208.6 million, up 21% from $173.0 million in the prior year. Sales for the quarter ended April 28, 2012 increased 14% to $2.357 billion, with comparable store sales up a strong 9% on top of a 3% gain in 2011.Michael Balmuth, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our much better-than-expected financial results in the first quarter. Our robust sales and earnings were driven mainly by our ongoing ability to deliver a wide array of fresh and exciting name brand bargains to today's value-focused consumers. In addition, we believe that favorable weather across many of our markets also contributed to our above-plan performance." Mr. Balmuth continued, "Operating margin for the period grew about 70 basis points to a record 14.4% driven primarily by leverage on selling, general and administrative expenses from the robust gains in same store sales. Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales improved by 15 basis points from the prior year, as higher merchandise gross margin and leverage on occupancy were partially offset by increases in distribution, freight and buying costs." Mr. Balmuth also noted, "We continued to enhance stockholder returns through our stock repurchase and dividend programs in the first quarter. During the first three months of fiscal 2012, we repurchased 2.0 million shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $111 million. We remain on track to buy back a total of $450 million in common stock during fiscal 2012 to complete the two-year $900 million program authorized in early 2011." Looking ahead, Mr. Balmuth said, "For the second quarter ending July 28, 2012, we are now forecasting same store sales to increase 3% to 4% and earnings per share of $.72 to $.75, up from last year's $.64. This represents 13% to 17% projected growth on top of a 20% increase in the second quarter of 2011. In addition, we are raising our 2012 earnings per share guidance for the 53 weeks ending February 2, 2013 to $3.26 to $3.37, above our initial guidance of $3.12 to $3.27 and compared to $2.86 in fiscal 2011."Commenting on the Company's future expansion plans, Mr. Balmuth said, "We are pleased to announce that we have increased our long-term projected store potential to 2,500 locations in the United States. Our current research and proven ability to cluster stores closer together indicate that we can more fully saturate existing and new markets. As a result, we now believe that Ross Dress for Less can grow to approximately 2,000 locations across the country, up from our prior target of 1,500. We continue to believe that dd's DISCOUNTS can become a chain of about 500 stores. Combined, we therefore have the ability over time to more than double the size of our Company domestically."The Company will provide additional details about its first quarter results and management's outlook for the second quarter on a conference call to be held on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.

Eyebrow Evolution: Shapes, Styles, and Trends of Decades Past
Most of you prefer heavier eyebrows, but just like hairstyles, makeup shades, and clothing fashions, different shapes and textures of eyebrows go in and out of style over time. In the the '20s and '30s, it was all about thin, dramatic brows with lots of curves. In the '80s, it was all about a bigger-the-better attitude. And then there were the '90s, when brows were so thin, tweezers never got a break. So let's take a peek at some of the most memorable eyebrow styles over decades past. Which era stands out most for you?
