Wow. Just wow! When I first started reading this I was thinking to myself how on earth am I liking this.
Olivia is at home by herself after a hard days work and opens the door to a cop who takes advantage of her. I was loving it. I wanted to hate the cop. But I was loving every naughty thing he did to Olivia.
The plot was well thought out and fun. I wanted more and found myself cheering the characters on. Fantastic story, great plot, believable fun!

... br> We got as far as Harrisonburg, Virginia where we found a nice little KOA cabin to take shelter in. Now, apparently this KOA was special because not only was there a great place to eat near by, but they actually did deliveries to the KOA! Once we found this out we took the chance to have a nice hot meal brought to our door. And no regrets were had that night.
A good hike
... we had built up a great sweat and a good appetite. We took some quick showers at the campsite, had a quick lunch of soup and salad and then started to drive. We had managed to do all the hiking before 1pm so we had a full day ahead of us still. We drove through a bit more of the skyline drive before cutting our way out and to the west towards Harrisonburg Virginia. It is a nice college town nestled right between the mountain ranges of Shenandoah ...

It's National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
September 27, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
Today is National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA) founded the day in 2008 with the goal of elevating the importance of HIV/AIDS awareness within the gay community – and to serve as a reminder that this epidemic is not over.
According to NAPWA, one in eight gay men may be infected with HIV – and a fifth of those don't even know it. That's why getting tested regularly – every three to six months – is so important. Equally as important is having an open and honest conversation with your partner about your respective statuses before intimacy.
Getting tested is quick and easy, and one of the most responsible things you can do. Find a testing center near you now. And learn more via this helpful NAPWA factsheet.
If you're in the D.C. area, there will be a mobile testing unit outside of HRC headquarters from 11am – 1pm. Testing is free.

This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 10/034,412 filed Dec. 27, 2001 entitled METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMPENSATING THERMALLY INDUCED MOTION OF PROBE CARDS which is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 10/003,012 filed Nov. 2, 2001.
The present invention relates to probe cards having electrical contacts for testing integrated circuits, and more specifically for a system and method to compensate for thermally induced motion of such probe cards. Probe cards are used in testing a die, e.g. integrated circuit devices, typically on wafer boards. Such probe cards are used in connection with a device known as a tester (sometimes called a prober) wherein the probe card is electronically connected to the tester device, and in turn the probe card is also in electronic contact with the integrated circuit to be tested.
Typically the wafer to be tested is loaded into the tester securing it to a movable chuck. During the testing process, the chuck moves the wafer into electrical contract with the probe card. This contact occurs between a plurality of electrical contacts on the probe card, typically in the form of microsprings, and plurality of discrete connection pads (bond pads) on the dies. Several different types of electrical contacts are known and used on probe cards, including without limitation needle contacts, cobra-style contacts, spring contacts, and the like. In this manner, the semiconductor dies can be tested and exercised, prior to singulating the dies from the wafer.
For effective contact between the electrical contacts of the probe card and the bond pads of the dies, the distance between the probe card and the wafer should be carefully maintained. Typical spring contacts such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,184,053 B1, 5,974,662 and 5,917,707, incorporated herein by reference, are approximately 0.040″, or about one millimeter, in height. If the wafer is too far from the probe card contact between the electrical contacts and the bond pads will be intermittent if at all.
While the desired distance between the probe card and wafer may be more easily achieved at the beginning of the testing procedure, the actual distance may change as the testing procedure proceeds, especially where the wafer temperature differs from the ambient temperature inside the tester. In many instances, the wafer being tested may be heated or cooled during the testing process. Insulating material such as platinum reflectors may be used to isolate the effects of the heating or cooling process to some extent, but it cannot eliminate them entirely. When a wafer of a temperature greater than that of the probe card is moved under the card, the card face nearest the wafer begins to change temperature. Probe cards are typically built of layers of different materials and are usually poor heat conductors in a direction normal to the face of the card. As a result of this a thermal gradient across the thickness of the probe card can appear rapidly. The probe card deflects from uneven heat expansion. As a result of this uneven expansion, the probe card begins to sag, decreasing the distance between the probe card and the wafer. The opposite phenomenon occurs when a wafer is cooler than the ambient temperature of the tester is placed near the probe card. As the face of the probe card nearest the wafer cools and contracts faster than the face farthest from the wafer, the probe card begins to bow away from the wafer disrupting electrical contact between the wafer and the probe card.
The invention is set forth in the claims below, and the following is not in any way to limit, define or otherwise establish the scope of legal protection. In general terms, the present invention relates to a method and system from compensating for thermally or otherwise induced motion of probe cards during testing of integrated circuits. This may include optional features such as energy transmissive devices, bi-material deflecting elements, and/or radial expansion elements.
One object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and system for compensating thermally induced motion of probe cards.
Further objects, embodiments, forms, benefits, aspects, features and advantages of the present invention may be obtained from the present disclosure.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, and alterations and modifications in the illustrated device and method and further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein, are herein contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
The probe card 110 is supported by the head plate 120 when mounted in the tester parallel to the die on a wafer 140, and most typically positioned directly above it. The probe card 110 is typically round, having a diameter on the order of 12 inches, although other sizes and shapes are also contemplated. The probe card 110 is generally a conventional circuit board substrate having a plurality (two of many shown) of electrical contacts 130 disposed on the wafer side 114 thereof. The electrical contacts are known in the industry and hereinafter referred to as �probes� or �probe elements�. A preferred type of probe element is spring contacts, examples of which are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,184,053 B1; 5,974,662; and 5,917,707 which are hereby incorporated by reference. However, many other contacts are known in the industry (e.g., needle contacts and cobra-style contacts) and any such contact may be included in any embodiment of the probe cards of the present invention. Typically, the probe card is connected to the testing machine by other electrical contacts (not shown).
As is known, a semiconductor wafer 140 includes a plurality of die sites (not shown) formed by photolithography, deposition, diffusion, and the like, on its front (upper, as viewed) surface. Each die site typically has a plurality (two of many shown) of bond pads 145, which may be disposed at any location and in any pattern on the surface of the die site. Semiconductor wafers typically have a diameter of at least 6 inches, but the use of the present invention to test wafers of other sizes and shapes is also contemplated.
Once the wafer 140 is mounted in the testing device, wafer chuck 150 including table actuator 155 lift the integrated wafer 140 vertically in the Z-axis direction (see
The opposite phenomenon occurs when a wafer 140 significantly cooler than the ambient temperature of the tester is placed near the probe card 130. As the face of the probe card nearest the wafer 114 cools it begins to contract faster than the face farthest from the wafer 112. As a result of this uneven cooling, the probe card 110 begins to bow away from the wafer creating an actual distance Z′ between the wafer 140 and the probe card 110 greater than the optimal effective distance. If great enough this bow may disrupt electrical contact between the wafer 140 and the probe card 110 by disengaging some of the probes 130 from their corresponding bond pads 145.
As seen in
Any suitable energy transmissive device may be utilized to practice this particular example of the present invention. For example, thermal elements such as thin film resistance control devices are particularly suited to the present invention. Thermal elements which allow for both heating and cooling such as devices which absorb or give off heat at the electrical junction of two different metals (i.e. a Peltier device) may also be used. Energy transmissive devices which do not rely on thermal energy are also contemplated by the present invention. Devices which generate a mechanical force when a voltage is applied (i.e. a piezoelectric device) may also be used.
Energy transmissive devices 470, 475 which are thermal control elements may be utilized to compensate for thermally induced motion of the probe card 110 in several ways. For example, the temperature control devices may be operated continually at the ambient temperature of the tester or at some other preselected temperature. This would tend to drive the probe card 110 to a uniform temperature regardless of the temperature of the wafer 140 and thereby prevent deformation of the probe card 110. Alternatively, the temperature control elements 470, 475 may incorporate a temperature sensing element (not shown). By sensing the temperature of the two sides 112, 114 of the probe card, the temperature control elements 470, 475 may be directed to apply or remove heat as required to compensate for any thermal gradient developing within the probe card 110. It is understood that the control methods described hereinabove while making reference to an example of the present invention incorporating two temperature control elements 470, 475 are equally applicable to alternate examples employing a single temperature control device or a plurality of control devices.
Energy transmissive devices 470, 475 according to the present invention may also be operated by monitoring conditions of the probe card 110 other than temperature. For example, a device such as a camera, laser, or other suitable means may be used to monitor the actual distance Z′ (see
Referring to
Although a fastening means between the probe card 110 and the wafer side stiffening element 360 is omitted from the illustration, it is understood that any suitable fastening method may be used. The wafer side stiffening element 360 may be fastened to the tester side stiffening element 365 or alternatively directly to the probe card 110 as described hereinabove. Although known fastening methods such as bolts or screws will typically allow for sufficient radial movement between the probe card 110 and the wafer side stiffening element 360, the present invention also contemplates the use of a fastening means allowing for greater radial movement such as radially oriented slots, dovetails or tracks. As shown in
The example of the present invention illustrated in
Yet another example of the present invention may be described by referring to
The actual distance between the probe card 110 and the wafer 140 may be monitored by any suitable means. Once such means includes monitoring the pressure exerted on the probe elements 130 by the bond pads 145. Changes in this pressure can be monitored and a signal relayed to the control system for the table actuator to order a corresponding corrective movement of the wafer 140. This is but one specific example of a means for monitoring the distance between the wafer 140 and the probe card 110. Other means for monitoring this distance such as the use of lasers, including proximity sensors, captive proximity sensors, or cameras are also contemplated by the present invention. Such sensors may be a part of the tester or alternatively may be incorporated in the probe card.
In another example of a method to detect thermally induced motion in a probe card 110 shown in
The calibration device 245 may also be used to compensate for other variations. For example, the light detector 215 may consist of a series of diodes whose output response to a particular light source is not necessarily equivalent. That is, the signal from the light beam 235 striking a particular detector element 216 is not necessarily precisely the same as that striking an adjacent detector element 217. By moving the light detector 215 in the Z axis direction (vertical as shown), each individual element of the light detector 215 may be subjected to the same light beam intensity. At the same time, the Z position of the detector 215 may be precisely measured by using an encoder on the Z motion drive for the detector 215, or some other means of measuring the position of the detector 215 in response to the Z drive. This allows the response of the light detector 215 to actual Z axis motion of the probe card 110 to be precisely known. Additionally, the output of the light source 200 may drift over time. To allow the system to differentiate between output drift and position changes of the probe card 110, periodically the system may stop compensating for Z axis motion of the probe card 110 and reenter calibration mode to reacquire the detector response to the light source 200. Optionally, it may be advantageous to insert a low pass filter between the amplifier 220 and the positioning computer 225 to prevent high frequency noise from entering the system.
The use of cylindrical mirrors 240 between the light source 200 and the light detector 215 also allows the system to compensate for variations in the light source's 200 position. As seen in a top view in
Another example of a method of monitoring the actual distance between a probe card 110 and the wafer 140 being tested is shown in
Another example of a distance monitoring method utilizing a lens 246 is shown in
Preferably the actual distance Z′ between the wafer 140 and the probe card 110 is monitored by a computer using a logic loop similar to that shown in
Control of the actual distance between the probe card 110 and the wafer 140 as previously described also compensates for probe card deformation other than thermally induced deformation. As the probe elements 130 are generally located near the center of the probe card 110 as seen in
An alternative method of maintaining the planarity of a probe card according to the present invention is shown in
As seen in the example shown in
The example shown in FIGS. 13A-B is but one example of using SMA layers to control planarity. Although this example shows the use of SMAs to maintain planarity in a probe card, the present invention also contemplates the use of SMAs in any PCB or built up structure where maintaining planarity of the structure is important. Also, although this example shows the use of strain gauges to monitor the planarity of the probe card, other methods of monitoring planarity such as optical methods previously described may also be used.
The particular arrangement of SMA layers 255 and strain gauges 260 shown in FIGS. 13A-B is but one potential arrangement. Other, non-limiting suitable arrangements are shown in
The SMA strips need not be embedded in the probe card structure. As seen in
The SMA strips may be of varying thickness as desired. FIGS. 20A-B show a probe card 250 having a plurality of SMA strips 255 embedded in the card 250. The strips in this particular example vary in thickness across their length. Some of the strips 255A are thicker near the end of their length while others 255B are thicker near the center of their length. As seen in FIGS. 21A-B, SMA strips 255 may be embedded in a probe card 250 so that alternating sections of a particular strip are near the upper and lower surfaces of the probe card 250.
The strain gauges used to monitor planarity of the probe card need not be attached to the surface of the card. As seen in FIGS. 22A-B, strain gauges 260 may also be embedded in the probe card 250. Embedded strain gauges may also be used with any of the configurations of SMA strips previously described. For example, embedded strain gauges 260 may be used with a circular configuration of SMA strips 255 as shown in FIGS. 23A-B.
The tester is typically a computer, and the prober typically also includes a computer or at least a computer-like control circuitry (e.g. a microprocessor or microcontroller or microcode). Test head 190 may similarly include computer or computer-like control circuitry. In the preferred embodiment the computer which carries out the acts illustrated in
As yet another alternative, the computer may be located in the test head 190 the suitable communication means between the prober 100 and test head 190. Such communication means may be via wired connections, RF transmissions light or other energy beam transmissions and the like.
Yet another alternative, a separate computer distinct from the tester, test head and prober, could be used and connected electrically to the prober for this purpose.
As yet another alternative, a computer, microprocessor, microcontroller and the like may actually be made part of the probe card 110 for the appropriate input and output connections to facilitate the running of steps of
Probe cards need not be limited to a single device described herein to compensate for thermally induced motion according to the present invention. Indeed, the present invention contemplates the combination two or more of the devices previously described in a single probe card. The example shown in
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only the preferred embodiment have been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected. The articles �a�, �an�, �said� and �the� are not limited to a singular element, and include one or more such element.

Bomb injures 15 police near Turkey ruling party HQ
Thursday 01 March 2012
A remote control bomb injured 15 police officers and one civilian today as a police minibus passed close to the Istanbul headquarters of Turkey's ruling AK Party, police said.
Kurdish separatists, far left groups, far right groups and Islamist militants, including al-Qa'ida, have all carried out bomb attacks in Turkey in the past, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
"As a police vehicle carrying 21 officers was passing by, a remote control bomb on a motorcycle exploded. Our teams are carrying out the investigation," Istanbul police chief Huseyin Capkin told reporters.
"I strongly condemn the terrorist attack in Istanbul's Sutluce district. Sadly, 15 police officers and one civilian were injured as a result," Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told a news conference in Ankara.
"Our struggle against terrorism will continue with the utmost determination," he said.
The bomb exploded on a road junction next to a building site in the Sutluce district of Istanbul, a poor, but developing neighbourhood on the banks of the Golden Horn.
"It happened around 9am. I was in my shop, and when I heard the explosion I ran out," said Orhan, a local shopkeeper. "People ran to the minibus. There were no flames. The injured were moved to a building nearby and later into the ambulances."
Security guards from nearby offices and passers-by helped moved the wounded to the Independent Industrialists and Businessmen's Association (MUSIAD) building, a conservative business group close to the government whose headquarters are next door to the AK Party building.
"We were afraid the bomb had hit our building because the blast was so loud," MUSIAD spokesman Sadi Dinleyici told CNN Turk. "Windows were broken and the wounded police officers were given first aid in our building."
Fire engines and police vehicles surrounded the area and glass littered the streets as forensic officers in white overalls combed the area for evidence.
"Investigations into the type of bomb and the organisation (behind it) are continuing," media quoted Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin as saying.

Trae The Truth - Ghetto Queen ft. Rich Boy and Lloyd
Artist: Trae The Truth
Producer: I.N.F.O. & NOVA
Album: Life Goes On
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 23 votes )
Although Houston rapper Trae has always held it down for the underground, he has never been able to convert his hard work into mainstream success. Trying to finally put that problem to the side, Trae has released the obligatory "track for the ladies," Ghetto Queen. Promising that he will one day leave the hood with his woman in tow, Trae defends his lady by threatening to unleash ammo on anyone who would dare cross her (how sweet is that?). Rich Boy and Lloyd add some star power, and I.N.F.O. & NOVA top off Ghetto Queen like a cherry on a sundae. But will Trae finally get that major shine? October 23's release of Life Goes On should answer that question.

Camo paint hid German aircraft in trees near end of WWII
When not in the air, the German aircraft were dispersed and hidden in the trees nearby. We can see a reminder of this trend in the Fw 190 D-13's paint scheme.
The planes of JG 26 had black and white stripes around their aft fuselages. But the stripes, particularly the white, might be seen from the air as the plane stood parked, hidden in the trees.
As a result, ground crewmen quickly painted over the top of the squadron insignia in order to better the plane's chances of not being seen and destroyed while on the ground.

NEW: Our Bloomin Friends / photo's or graphics
Just starting a new thread to see if I know what I'm doing when it's my time for hosting... May 2007. Does anyone have any frog graphics or photos they can share with me. Always looking and I'm working on setting up a website for myself. Loads of research getting done on photos or graphics so any ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated. I love flower/plant pics with frogs in them as a bonus, especially if it's your own personal collection photo you've taken. Some of them are just to cute.
Peace in playin with nature,
well done char I guess my instruction made since
or you worked it out your way :)))
I told ya ease as pie :)) wish I had froggies to share but I don't get into many of those grapic my putor can't take the up-loads so I try to keep to just my garden photos , I have a iris that has many many buds on it & it is really turning cold I do hope that ,
that it will open this week so I can share with you all .
it is called juicy fruit .
I would like to share this with you all if at any time I don't post you will know the reason :(((
I bought a a-corn squash from our local farm market
YESTERDAY brought it home washed it cut it in 1/2
cleaned it out washed it again.
put it in my fry pan with a cover with little water
just to steam it oh I put butter ,salt & peper on it.
anyway when it was done I took it out of the pan
peeled it & cut in chunks for our supper I popped a chunk in my mouth & WOW I thought I had poured bleach
or bath clearner in my mouth NO JOKE LADIES This
was bad I have drank 2 12oz of milk to get the
taste out of my mouth this was nasty even my step
mother tasted & excuse me but spit it back out.
I took it to the health department in our town they say they have no control of the farmmers market & no way of testing it .
if I want it tested I have to pay for it . & take it to a lab . why do we have a health department in our community if they cannot help us .
sorry but I'm very up-set over this for I still have this bad taste in my month so in 3-4 days if my kidneys start shutting down you will know why .
NOT that that is going to happen :)) but it is
upsetting .
they say there has to be an epademic ?? spelling bad
before they can do any testing .
got to go get besy have a great day
hugs to all
HI Char. I don't have any frogs but I got a really cut sig last night,
and here's a pic
just finished blooming last week.
i still have one more daylily that has about 10 buds on it, it's one of my favorite no-id's, school bus yellow and grows right near an indian giver (purple daylily). If it opens this weekend I'll get a pic and post
Susie, hope you get over that rancid veggie. I wonder what was wrong with it, you said it looked right, right?
Night guys
MAUREEN Nice pictures :)))
I still have this nasty taste from that squash &
the lady I bought it from wanted to taste the squash so I took it to her tonight one bite she had to discard it & found it was very nasty also & had to go try to brush it out of her mouth she really feels bad & is going
to talk to the farmers she got them from . she seem to think it tasted like chicken penicilian ????
the lady says she has stop selling the squash .
I still have buds on a few of my daylilies & I have a Iris with bud & here comes the cold :(((
I covered them tonight so we will see if that helps .
well long day here so going to go read a book :))
& lay back , have a great evening all
Susie-Gosh that's scary about the squash. If you can't buy and eat fresh vegetables what is safe to eat? Glad you spit it out and did not swallow any. The spinach thing is bad enough.
Sassy-Love the frogs.
Maureen-Nice daylily. Love the purples.
Maureen, what a beautiful daylily you have. You are so lucky to still have a few blooming. Mums around here are really going strong. For some reason, though, a bunch of mine are really late. Why would that be? Anybody know? I did not pinch them back at all this year either.
Susie, Yuck!!! on the squash. Let us know if you find out what was wrong with it. Just what you need, too, what with all your going's on. Try sucking on peppermints?
Mary Ellen
Susie, hope the taste is gone, I grew my own this year and had one yesterday baked with honey and a sausage patty in it it was delish. glad I ate it before I read your post. didn't know you could get a bad tasting squash. don't get sick, gonna cook up some dead rat stew at my new condemmed home. hugs to all carol
Wow ladies thanks for the pics and Halloween related sigs they are great. EEEEWWWWW about the squash Susie I hope you are alright. In this day and age that can be a really scary thing to have happen to you and not know why or what was on or in it. I had an event that scared me to death a few years back. It had to do with my daughter Amber when she was about 5 years old so I guess about 10 years ago(little more than a few I guess). Anyway we stopped into a Holiday gas station for her to use the restroom and when she went to wash her hands she put the soap on and her hands started to feel like they were burning. I was so scared and after alot of plain water rinsing it got better but talk about scared. I still don't know what it was in the soap that was added but I wouldn't let my kids use public restroom soap without me using first to make sure it was OK. I can't imagine when you have tasted something like that the thought is even more scary for even a touch on the tongue puts whatever it was entry into the body. I suggest you talk to your doctor about this as you said you can still taste it. Better to be safe than sorry. Be careful and stay safe all of you, As best you can anyway.
sue, do you think maybe your pan that you cooked in had cleaning fluid or bleach in it? that's very strange, i never heard anything like it. we have a resident produce expert among us...remy, what do you make of sue's squash dilemma? my mother used to keep liquid starch in the frig and once one of my sisters drank it thinking it was water. we all knew what was in that jug - don't even ask why she didn't pay attention to it. and once my dad reached into the bottom cabinet to get the vinegar to dress the salad and instead pulled out the vanilla. oh my God was he ever mad at whoever didn't line the things back up the right way, but we had such a laugh. i sure hope you find out what was wrong with your squash. BIG REASON I GROW MY OWN STUFF!!!!
my mums are looking gorgeous. i moved a massive one that's out back and put it in one of those barrels...hope i don't kill it. i was shocked to see a toad lily blooming, it didn't do anything for me in the spot it's been for the last year or so and i guess it really likes its new home.
carol, what are you doing, practicing to go on survivor learning this new recipe? don't forget to add some dead bugs, gives the stew a nice kick. and by the way, what happened to your trade page?
be well, happy blooms
Susie's squash probably got a spill of some chemical on it. I have opened boxes before and had odd chemical smells. It hasn't happened often, but it has happened.
I think someone out in the field has an oops with fertilizer or pesticide and doesn't worry about it when they should be telling their boss.
Oh I've had crates that smelled like cat spray too! Yuk!
Lol Carol! you write the funniest things.
Where do these cartoon pictures come from? How do you save them and then post them? Is there something special you need to do for the moving ones? I sound like a computer idiot don't I? Well, I am one, lol.
my mums are really late here too for some reason, 2 have already bloomed, but I just now have blooms on my absolute favorite large double purple mums, and my other 3 mums are just now gathering up steam to bloom, do they bloom sooner the cooler it gets? need to get more info on them, I just plant them and forget about them, never pinch them or anything like that...
love the graphics, I am sooo computer illeterate I just get to admire others work, funny my mother is a graphic artist, why couldn't I have inherited some of her genes?
Too cute Shirley. And, uh... yard envy!
Micke, you're lucky you can plant your mums and leave 'em. Mine would bloom in June if I didn't pinch them back, EVERY WEEK. Fortunately I got smart this year and figured out that was a perfect job for my 4 and 6 year-old "helpers". LOL
Char, just got home from a weekend getaway but as soon as I have a chance I'll go thru my cd's, I have oodles of tags saved just got to find time to go thru them. Believe me, I have a 'thing' for frogs so I know I can come up with some more.
Sue so glad you're ok! Good lord, you'll be scared to death to ever eat anymore of it.....
Shirley...beautiful lady & yard!!!!!
Thought I would let you all know I'am fine thank you.
as for the squash I Steamed it in a t-fal fry pan
on med heat & so no chemicals in the pan.
it was deffinly the squash its self for the lady wanted to test it so i hope to know one of these days .
Now thought I would show off my lovable kids
Here is their 1st taste of corn today :))
& carol this is the tree I cut down today :)))
this is how I teach them to come to me if they ever get out side . they might spend one night out but ready to come back in the next day :)))
Here is one of my rose's that are still in bloom wish I new the name of it . realy don't matter for I love it anyway .
one more I took today is of my" juicy fruit IRIS "
with all these buds on it . unreal & I sure hope it opens this week while we have warmmer weather coming in .
will share if it does .
a few of my glads are still in bloom also .
well I need to go read the other foums before I sit back for the night .
love the picks
remy, find a graphic you like and then save it to a picture saving account like photobucket. then when you have it there, you copy the tag line and post it into your message. (condensed version, i'm sure someone else can give you the long involved instructions). it's real easy too.
here's my pic, carol did it for me a zillion years ago
and this one, trish did
thank God, no one ever came up with one of me wearing depends! LOL (not that i do, and not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just a joke). kind of like this
Okie Dokie, I've been busy with the digital today. Carol, hubby took a pic of "the hat" today, too. Let's see what I can get done here. Been awhile since I've posted pics. You folks can use the pic of me for a Halloween decoration. I don't mind.
This is a purple hyacinth bean vine climing a fencepost up to and covering a birdhouse.
Green bug eating dinner on fanfare gaillardia.
One of many mums that I have--yellow with light green middle.
Funny looking lady with purple and white feather boa, small wine glass with candle in one hand, partially eaten rat in the other hand, wearing a garden visor specially made by Carol. Thank you dearest Carol.
That's all for now. Mary Ellen
Thanks sassyd for the frog stuff and look forward to more if you got any keepem comin.
Susie thats a great idea to get them comfortable with the outdoor environment. How long do you usually keep the branch in for them to get the hang of things? It looks like you've got quite the set up. I just love it. My hubby at one time wanted one of those huge blue birds(can't remember the name anymore) but they are like 1-2 foot tall and look simular to a parrot as some of them can talk. We used to go to the pet store weekly just so he could visit with the birds. That was in BC time (before children) almost 16 plus years ago already. They probably don't let you handle the birds like that anymore the way things have changed over the years.
Maryellen I love the fanfare gaillardia, does it get to be a fairly good sized plant once established and the mums. What beauts. The purple boa really brings out the color of the rat and you look just MARVELOUS in Carols hat she made for ya. What a treat to see both Shirley and you getting good use out of Carols hats she made for the both of ya.
Roses love'em.
Remy I think the Montrose Anemone isn't gonna survive. Not much green left even with all the special treatment I've been giving it. Time shall tell I guess when it is suppose to come up next year. When do they usually start to pop out of the ground in the spring? Any idea?
yes they are adorable but also very spoild one is always on my sholder no matter what I'm doing around the house , I try to get them to be spooked free when they go to their new homes . they know the sound of vaccum , washer & dryer , mixer, tv , the cats ,
mary ellen : love the plants country air is the best right ??? sure agrees with you lovely lady .
char : this is just a precausion so if ever the birds get out side after they go to the new home . & it has happened even here so I train them to or should say teach them how to fly down .
once they are out up in a tree for the first time it is scary to them being so high up , so when you train them early you can get them back to you .
very important is to have their wings clips some can still fly but not fly high :)
well time to go so have a great day all .
Mellen-Loved seeing a picture of you. Yes country air is great you look so young and attractive. I love the purple hyacinth bean vine, mine did not do good this year. It must not have liked where I planted it. Great pictures.
Thanks to you all for the nice compliments. I live outside most of the time, maybe some day I will get everything the way I want it.
Susie-Love the rose and your BIRDS...Oh my they are beautiful. I don't know how you part with them. I would want to keep them all. Post that picture of iris juicy fruit when it blooms.
Mellen you are a very pretty lady, thankyou for the pic only missing Jeanette now, I gotta send earthly hers. Thought I would share the front and back of a lovely gift I got from Sassy in another swap. She musta thought I was Mellen, angel or earthly. hope you don't run out now sassy. Mellen you can make a good stew with that rat. hugs carol
sassy, i just love that diaper. what a neat idea.
as always maryellen, you look lovely. where's the dog in this picture? your flowers are beautiful. i never grew hyacinth bean, had some seeds, but recently gave them away. just love that gaillardia, never grew that one either. going to have to check my seed stash and see if i have them. it is an interesting looking flower...is it an annual? and what about that blue fence-like thing, is that a pen for cows or is that where you get locked up when you're bad? lol
sue, what color does your juicy fruit bloom? when i googled it, i got three different pix. great bird set up. what are their names or do you wait and let the customers name them?
you look lovely, shirley. nice property too. just love the deck. how much land did you say you have?
maureen, what's the name of that purple daylily?
i was digging up some stuff today and i can't believe how heavily i mulched. i must admit though, everything is looking in tip top shape and i am ahead of time for winterizing the garden. the only thing i have left is to lay straw in the veggie garden and clean up and re-pot the house plants and bring them in. that's a chore that should take a few days at best.
my morning glories are going strong. i am amazed at the changes each day - some days they are a deep purple, others a vibrant blue and today there was a light maroon.
so sad, earlier in the day a crazed gunman took a one room amish school house (26 students) hostage, killing 4 and critically injuring 8 or so more. the gunman is reported dead. the news report indicates he was heavily armed and acting out on a 20 year vendetta. it's so terrible for these things to happen anywhere, but the amish community is such a tranquil place. my heart and prayers go out to all those affected. life is so uncertain ~~ so short.
be well, happy blooms
Wow this place is really hoppin'
I really do need to set a little more time aside each day to get on here and get caught up.
Shirley and Mary Ellen your hats look wonderful as do you.
Susie,I have major "Bird Envy" What a terrific setup you have.Tiels are my favorites.I have 2,no babies yet : (
Sassy,Love the decorated depends!Clever Idea.Might have to borrow that idea for my sisters bday coming up.She would "Love" It!
All of the flower pics are so great.I have quite a few lovelies in bloom here yet.Being in zone 5 they all could be froze in a week so I guess I'd better start snapping some pics of my own.
Have a Great Week Ladies! Nancy
ojk Ladies I really could use some expertese or
your opinion :))
I now have 2 irises with buds & we are haven some really hard frost so I have been covering them at night .
I want so bad for them to open so I can see the color .
My ??? is should I leave them out & keep covering at night ? OR Should I cut them off bring them into the house & place them into a vase of water ???
sorry for the weeds :)) been to wet to get out there :(
what would you do ??? any info would help .
i second julie's thought. i would bring them in as well.
remy, congrats on your graphic. just seeing it now. another time when we were posting at the same time :)
i can't believe how nasty our weather has been and what did i find today? fragrant treasure daylily blooming like mad. i just love those little surprises.
be well,
The iris that are showing a lot of color in your first photo are decent candidates for opening in a vase indoors. That's some interesting branching on the golden one. The other probably should stay outside until more color is showing, which means covering and uncovering. FYI, the irises from the florist are not, in my experience, bearded, but rather sibs. Lucky you to have some beardeds reblooming. Who are they?
juicy fruit is the top almost open then the other is
Frances Iva :)) & they did not bloom in the spring :(
& loaded with buds also the white one is still blooming its been blooming & full flowers for the last 2 weeks :)
one lady came to buy a few daylilies & say the buds &
the white iris still in bloom & said it is very rare for this time of the year :)) I have to agree :))
well ladies thanks for the advice & I will leave the one out till tuesday & see if there is a change for news is calling for snow this next week :((
so I will for sure try bringing it in :))) before the snow :(
have a great week & thank you
Susie-I agree with the others. Cut and take in the one that is almost open. Leave the other as long as possible outside. I have got several that is blooming now. They usually bloom in Sept. because I always put them in our local Fair. They sure are late this year. I hope frost does not get them.
Okay, here I go again. More pics.
This is Robert's kitty, Precious, doing her Hollywood pose. That was also her on the other Bloomin' Friends thread getting the massage with the towel on her head.
Torch Lily/Red Hot Poker that rebloomed.
This is a Puff Ball Mushroom found in our neighbor to the north's yard-1/4 mile away.
Another of my mums.
And one last mum.
Good night,
Mary Ellen
LOL Mellen! And she was enjoying it too, like a 'pampered' kitty should! Every gal loves a good massage!
Beautiful flowers!! I'm so envious (sp?) I have absolutely begged my dh to get me in my house by Christmas, (he's building it, lol) so i'm not planting anything here. Actually I'm moving everything I can over there, so far they're looking good, also planted the ones Susie sent me over there. Don't worry Susie, I'm keeping them watered but got a good rain Sat. and that really helped. They much prefer that natural stuff! lol
Later girls!
Oh, Mellen in case I forgot to mention on the other thread, very cute pic! Loved it! In retrospect...I'm still trying to decide if Carol is masterminding a plan....... Well.. it just depends.....lol
lol, goodnite girls!
Susie, I just love the reblooming iris. Sure hope you get them to open inside for you. Maybe I should wish that winter will hold off for a while too. With a bit of luck you could still have a couple weeks of nice garden weather.
This is a fall blooming water lily crocous. Just love the delicate color
One of the late monarchs on "boneset" in my herb garden
The mums are also doing well and my purple dome asters are blooming in a glorious purple So afr only the willow trees are turning. Everything else is still green.
Sassy, I soooo enjoyed you post AND your siggy. Hubby wondered what was going on when he heard me laughing and laughing. As you can see, Precious even has the backwards smile down pat.
With Carol you can never tell what she is thinking or planning. I say, "Watch out!" ;P
Beth, beautiful pics. You have such a knack for getting the right angles and shadows. Your trees have barely started turning? Most of ours are in their last glory. A FREEZE warning is on for tonight. A few more plants that I must get dug after school today. Plus I will be covering my mums.
Am off to school and outside "duty." Yes, pun intended. :)
Wishing you all a wonderful day!
Mary Ellen
Oh I just have to share this pic.In our sept swap Susan/giverny4me sent me some red hibiscus cuttings from her garden.I stuck them in some water on my plant stand to root.Well when I woke up this morning and walked in my plant room look what was smiling at me? What a pick me up on a cold October Nebraska morning : )Thanks Susan.I think they like me LOL Have a Sunny Day Everyone! Nancy
OK, third times a charm. Hope THIS ONE posts!
SUe - Very beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
Ours didn't stick, but it was beautiful watching the big flakes blwo around and fall. DH redid our entry to turn it into a foyer this year and completely incased it in windows. I have my wicker furniture in there. You can see the courtyard and our little pond. It's the perfect place to sit and have a cup of cocoa or tea and watch it snow. I'm sure thats where I'll be doing most of my crocheting in there this winter.
Again, thank you for sharing!
Sassy, Loving the froggies!
Mary Ellen - Could Precious be anymore "precious"! How adorable. Your mums look fantastic. Want to share next season? I have pink, yellow, red with yellow center, and burgundy that are big enough to split!
Have a wonderful day!
Sassy #1 bf rule carol is innocent, if there is a conspiracy it is probably Mellen, earthly, Beth, angel or susie never me. I am just a sweetie. I need mums, I only have a white one and a yellow button one. I love all the pictures even the frogs, I am not really a reptile person. hugs ladies
innocent carol
Not ready for it here either , I still do not have my winter coat out of the moth balls yet :(((
here is what is out there now . up to 5 inches in some areas
this is my front yard to the road long drive :))
my pour flowerbed all done :( have to take my big sister
shopping at wally-world :)) so have a great day all .
Susie, Even though I don't want snow quite yet, those are beautiful pictures that you posted. I always love the first few snowfalls.
Yes, Carol, you are a sweetie who does not know what the word innocent means!!! You listed a group of us who might be "conspiracy" people, and you put me first?!? What a blow to my ego.(Ha, it rhymes.) I/we would neeeever conspire against you. Oh no, huh uh! Remember who has your name in another monthly swap! LOL
Tina, I would gladly trade some mums with you. This year most of the yellows came back of mine. Last year it was mostly burgundies. If I can find it, I should post the pic of the huge and very pretty burgundy one I had last year. This year it is very small. I had some that were called "Early Mum" that never did fully bloom. Figure that one out! They look like they would be lavender. Next year I will be looking for/planting more of a variety of colors than what I have now and probably in a different place. I'm just not happy with what I have in front of the house/porch. Back to the drawing board there. Tina, tell Rick that Vince C. cancer/leukemia is GONE after one round of chemo. WooHoo!!!
Well, ladies, now that I have Carol shakin' in her booties, I will say ta ta for tonight. I continue to be so thankful that we have such a wonderful group here. Mary Ellen/Mellen
Hey Nancy/cedarnest, what are you doing with that hibiscus to get it to bloom so fast, feeding it coffee or coke? Good job girl!
Susie, thanks so much for the pictures, I miss the colors you all get up north in fall and snow.
I don't miss the cold though. My rheumatiz is going crazy with lows of only 40's here, what a wimp!
Tina your foyer sounds like a great place to snuggle in and watch nature and crochet, I like to get all my "stuff"(beverage, snack,garden mags,small dog Otis,etc.lol) around me and settle in near a window...foyer is on my wish list./Susan /giverny4me
as you know I brought in my Irises just before the snow hit :)) I'm proud to show that I have a bloom of the juicy fruit Just one but it is pretty .
Here was my temperary fish tank till I could get my pond refilled today after the snow melted :)) can hardly tell
we had any snow Now when you look out side .
the picture above was taken just before noon & by 3 pm all the snow was gone :))) so I got the pond filled
& fish are back in the pond :) & ready for winter.
wonder if remy is still shoveling out ?
well I just wanted to share my bloom before it faded .
the other Iris (FRANCE IVA ) Has not bloomed yet
but if it does I will be sure to show you.
as for the white iris even after all the snow it still has buds & blooms on it today :))
Has anyone any idea as to what I can use on my water tank there to clean it & not be toxic to plant or animal.
well you ladies have a great evening its time for me to watch a movie :))
good night all
Boy Susie your critters sure look interested in your fish, where is the big one ?Tina could you e-mail me your mailing addy, I lost it and need to send your hat out, earthlys went out today along with the main ingredient for my rat stew. hugs carol
My new dog, Gracie haa arrived. She is a real sweetie and very loving but not used to being loose inside. She gets so excited at having freedom to roam she has not yet figured out how to settle down.. She does great outside on a leash and is very good about being in her kenel. We are working on the other stuff.
What does this have to do with plants? Well, Gracie has this whip of a tail and when it wags, it prunes the houseplants somewhat like a doggie powered weed wacker.
Here is a before Gracie shot of some of my plants.
Fortunately she does not seem interested in eating them I just need to remember to keep her tail going away from the plant stands because, for sure, it's going to be going full speed.
yes we want to meet gracie , those tails can be very wicked , I still carry the memory of my aunt's dog A Great dane & I was 6 yrs old & he knocked me down with his tail.
everyone laughed about it but me :( his tail hurt worse then hitting the floor .
I wish I had your green thumb for house plants.
I have a north picture window but still not much survives .
well have a great evening
Nice snow pics! See, your snow looks light and fluffy, not like the evil snow I had! You did get the iris to bloom! I agree with Carol, your critters sure look interested in those fish, lol.
I just love the waterlily colchicum. Mine looked great until the snow. And where's the pic of Gracie?
Nice pics. That mushroom is amazing. I've never seen one like that!
well it is open all the way so Now I can show it off :))
this is the "FRANCE IVA " I picked before the storm
hit .
the one below it is still the one that has been blooming for the last 3 weeks or so & even through the snow it was in bloom :)) very hard to believe but its true here it is I just picked it last night .
its in with the frances iva :)
the juicy fruit still has a few buds yet to open as does
the frances iva .
Shirley I hear you have many louisanna irises :))))???
Is this true ??? maybe you can keep me in mind come spring :))
well ladies I went in for test today & feel I had been drained by the vampire so going to go lay back awhile .
but had to share these with you all :))
Thanks sassy for the frog pics. I just love them. I found a new site lately for picture storage and I think I may set up an account with them as you can make your own web address off of their site as well or so I've heard. flickr.com is the site ever hear of it. If anyone is really into taking pictures, like I am with my digital camera this would be a site for you to explore into. You can search numerous picture subjects and wow, what results all has there to share with the public. Some photos that I never thought I would have taken an interest into using as a subject has caught my eye and peaked my interest enough to say, wow, I'm gonna try that. Well worth your time to check it out and see what ya think,anyway. Just search whatever comes to your mind on what you would like to see and walllahhh, it's there in all forms.
Beth, Hope your dog doesn't butcher up your lovely plants to much. I guess choppin them up with the tail is better than ingesting the foliage though. Better that end than the latter,huh or you could really have a mess on your hands. Do you have any begonias in your indoors collection, a couple kinda looked like it but I can't really tell as I'm just starting to get into the houseplants again. When my kiddies were wee little ones I gave up my houseplants for their safety but now that they're nearing graduation I felt, huh, I think it's safe now. I got a begonia plant from a garage sale and the leaves are gorgeous but I'm not sure exactly what window I should be putting it into. At the moment its in a north facing window, should it be in a south defused lighted window.
Susie, did you run out and make snow angels or catch a few snow flakes with your tongue? Remember doing that as a child? Gotta keep the child spirit in all of us alive by nourishing it. May take a we bit longer to get up and down from making snow angels but just as fun as the very first time.
I love all the photos everyone is contributing, this is so much fun. You gals really have some great shots to share with our group, Thanks
Peace Char
Char No time for snow angels was to busy trying to save my fish from a drained pond :(
the wind had blown over my bubbler & all my water drained out during the night . there was to much snow to get the hose out so i have to net the fish & bring them in till I could get more water in the pond :)
by the next day snow was gone & i refilled the pond
& Now you know the rest of the story :))
micke : what a cute pooch looks like one my sister had
"Gizmo" was his name .
I found a dog I want to adopt but have had no word on her yet :( still waiting .
Its an older chihuahua 7-8 yrs & has no hearing witch is good for the birds won't drive her mad with the noise :)
I hope to hear back yet today :) I fell inlove as soon as I saw her pictuce & read about her .
we have to go another busy day ahead . have a great day ladies .
