Pretty and sturdy
Dec 03, 2013
By Paula W
Cute banner. The letters are cut out. We used this banner for different showers, and we put purple paper behind the cut outs for one and tan for the other, to match the bride's colors......
Good construction, has held up for multiple uses, and looks as good as when I first got it.

Sparkly and well made
Nov 19, 2012
By Ali
I love this banner. It is sparkly and well made, like other Martha Stewart products. The edges are crisp. The letters can be adjusted on the ribbon so you can space them as far apart as you like. It is well made and can be reused easily. The only potential downside is that the banner sheds some glitter in the process of getting it out of the package and hanging it. Not a big deal, though. Great product.

Very p retty, but we had a hard time finding a way to attach it. I think it would have been better if the two words were separated better.

A friend recently confessed that when her 6-year-old son asked how babies are made, her wimpy nonreply was, "Because a wife and husband love each other and want a baby badly." She was caught even more off guard when he followed up with, "How do some women have babies if they don't have husbands?" Red-faced, she stammered, "They go to sperm banks, honey, and pay money to get babies." Skydiving would have probably been a lot less nerve-racking than that exchange.
My friend's discomfort isn't unusual: Many parents I know admit to feeling embarrassed when they talk to kids about sex. Mind-boggling, isn't it, that at a time when oral sex has been on the national agenda and when movies and TV portray intimate acts, the mere mention of "penis" or "vagina" in front of the kids can rattle many parents. "Most of us didn't have parents who talked to us about sexuality, so we lack the skills to discuss it," explains Debra W. Haffner, M.P.H., author of From Diapers to Dating and former president and CEO of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS). "It's okay to tell a child that you're uncomfortable talking about sexuality, but that you'd still like to discuss it."
Still, how far should you go? Saying too little can confuse kids even more; saying too much can overwhelm them. To guide you, we've pinpointed the most common questions children ask, canvassed the experts for advice, and broken down the answers into two levels: minimum disclosure (the bare-bones info kids need to hear) and maximum disclosure (when you and your child feel comfortable enough to explore the topic further). There's no need to follow these responses word-for-word; consider them a blueprint. Now go on, speak up!

Dear Mr. Soros,
I know you currently have short position on Japanese Yen and British Pound.
I got my sixth sense that it is time to switch your short position on Japanese Yen to short position of Chinese RMB.
I got a very strong six sense from what I read in newspaper and on tv that Chinese RMB will depreciate a lot very soon.
You don't have to trust me but in the past my sixth sense are very accure.
Soros may be a flaming Lib, but the man usually makes the right currency call............
I wouldn't bet against him in this venue.
Of course he probably has already leveraged his positions and made a billion..........so he may already be out.

That is exactly what people are experiencing since Cascade and other dishwasher detergent manufacturers have had to switch from using phosphates in their detergents.
Environmentalist groups have pushed to have laws passed in several states regarding the removal of phosphates from soaps and detergents (anything that could go down the drain and end up in lake water and streams) in claims of helping protect the environment and wildlife. It's not really the fault of dishwashing detergent companies that phosphate is being removed and they're doing their best to find suitable replacements that will still clean dishes well.
In the meantime, some detergents are not working well. In fact, they seem to be ruining dishes, pans, glasses and even dishwashers themselves. People are really frustrated and some are even shopping for new dishwashers. It's a big problem at the moment.
Don't Buy a New Dishwasher – The Solutions
Thanks to the community here, a number of great solutions have popped up. They are restoring people's dishes and dishwashers and dishes are once again coming out clean. Here are the solutions so far and we'll continue to update this list – these are either dishwasher detergent with phosphate or others without it that have been proven to work:
- Home remedy – add 1/2 – 1 cup of vinegar to the dishwasher detergent you're using now. Just pour it into the bottom of the dishwasher before running it. Vinegar can affect metal items, so it's not recommended for them. White vinegar works fine on flatware.
- Home remedy – add 1/3 cup Borax to the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Clean your dishwasher – run it empty with 1/2 cup of Tang to clean and freshen up your dishwasher.
- To fix and clean glassware – soak all your glassware in distilled white vinegar for 30 minutes, completely submerged, and they will look brand new.
- Detergent that works – Finish (formerly Electrasol) brand dishwashing detergent seems to work well.
- Detergent that works – Quantum Finish Powerball with Jet Dry
- Detergent that works – Finish Glass Magic Dishwasher Performance Booster
- Detergent that works – Lemi Shine, Dishwater Detergent Additive
- Detergent the works – BioKleen Automatic Dish Powder
If anyone else has any other solutions, remedies, tips or comments, please post them here.Incoming Searches:

Video: Why motorists need to move over for cops
Dash cam video shows how often motorists do not move over for police in pursuit
By PoliceOne Staff
Oregon police released a video that shows many motorists fail to move over for police in an emergency and that the problem is growing.
Oregon law requires drivers to immediately pull as far as possible to the right and stop when they see an emergency vehicle approaching with its lights flashing and sirens blaring. The fine for not yielding properly is $260.
Dash cam videos from real emergency situations show one vehicle after the next taking too long to move over for police cruisers, despite sirens and emergency lights, according to the Oregonian.
Dash cam from August 2013 shows trooper Gavin McIlvenna driving down I-84 after he was shot at during a traffic stop. Following the suspect, John V. Allen, McIlvenna becomes frustrated with the motorists on the road who make the pursuit nearly impossible.
According to the report, during a recent five-hour traffic mission on Portland area highways, officers from several local agencies handed out 104 citations of $260 for "failing to maintain a safe distance from emergency vehicles."

Books not yet chosen option, read more....If you want to indicate that your posting of your books/class materials information is in progress, or if your department has not yet assigned an instructor to a class, use the new "books not yet chosen" option.
Copy information from one class to another, read more.... If you teach a class every year or want to copy information from one class section to another, save yourself time and use the copy option.
Use SPIRE to provide class overview, book or class materials information to students. Federal law currently requires publication of information about required and recommended textbooks for each class in the Schedule of Classes. The intent of the law is to help students better understand and manage this aspect of their educational expenses.
Read more about the federal law HEOA Textbook Provision (PDF).
Publishing class overview information is not explicitly required by the federal legislation, but it addresses the purpose of the statute in that providing class overview information helps students make informed decisions and judgements about class selection and purchasing class materials. Instructors who do not wish to publish detailed syllabi can instead opt to publish simplified outline syllabi (omitting any proprietary intellectual property information) or provide an abbreviated class overview.
For instructors, in the SPIRE Menu, go to Faculty Home > Class Overview/Textbooks. The Class Overview - Select Class page opens. Select the class you want. Make sure to check the term associated with the class, as both current and future term classes may appear in your selection list.
For designated department staff, in the SPIRE Menu, go to Course Maintenance > Schedule of Classes > Class Overview/Textbooks. Search for the class you want. Make sure to include the term in your search criteria.
The Books & Class Materials section is the only required section on the page.
IMPORTANT: In order to publish information from the Class Overview page to the online Schedule of Classes, you must first enter EITHER all the required information for at least one book or other class material OR select one of the following options:
Note: Be careful when selecting No Books/Class Materials or Books not yet chosen. Watch out for the following:
The list below details the options for information you can provide about books and other class materials, including what is required vs. optional information.
Tip: Use the Special Book & Material Instructions box at the bottom of the Books & Class Materials section to include detailed information about books or other materials as needed.
Tip: Use the Look up book information link above the Books & Class Materials section to access a quick reference resource for book information.
Note: Do not include dollar signs ($) or other currency symbols when entering price; use only numbers. When the price information displays on the Class Details page, it will have the notation USD.
Tip: Use the Look up book information link above the Books & Class Materials section to access a quick reference resource for book information.
Use the Learning Outcomes box to communicate your goals and/or expectations for the class to students considering enrolling in the class.
If you want a convenient and quick method to post information online, consider using UDrive. Learn more about using UDrive to publish information online.
Note: Do not post URLs to information posted in Moodle. Information posted in Moodle becomes available to students only after they enroll in the class and only at the start of the term.
Avoid potential problems with SPIRE timing out and losing your work. We recommend that you save at least every 10-15 minutes while entering information on the Class Overview/Textbooks page. Save as often as you like, but always save before exiting or you will lose your work. Also you must save after changing the publish status or the change will not take effect. Find the yellow Save button at the bottom of the page.
You decide when to publish information from the Class Overview/Textbooks page so that it appears on the Class Details page in Search for Classes, the online Schedule of Classes. A notation at the bottom center of the page, Display set by, provides the name of the last person to publish the information from the Class Overview page along with the publish date/time.
Note: If you forget to click save after updating the Display/Hide status, the publication status of your information does not change.
You have two ways to check the publication status of information on the Class Overview page. First, the information is visible to the public if a notation appears at the bottom center of the page, Display set by, followed by the name of the last person to publish the information and the publish date/time. Second, the information is visible to the public if the upper right corner of the page displays the message This Class Overview displayed to public? Yes.
You can use some of the existing data from one class to enter data automatically for any similar class. The Copy tool eliminates manual re-entry of your data. To use this feature, open the Class Overview/Textbooks page for the class for which you need to enter data and locate the box for copying information to the right above the Books & Class Materials section. Then:
Designated department staff who can enter books/materials data can use the Textbook Queries that are available in SPIRE. The queries provide a quick way to monitor the status of textbook data-entry for a deparment's entire list of class offerings.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
type of sea fish, c.1300, probably from Old English haca "a hook, door-fastening" (cf. hacod "pike" the fish), or Old Norse haki "hook," from the shape of its jaw, both from Proto-Germanic *hakan- (cf. Dutch hake "hook"), from PIE root *keg- "hook, tooth" (see hook).

Roll out the red carpet for the Pace Pleasantville Film Festival and gala, celebrating the great films of the past 50 years and coming to a location near you on December 7.

I enjoyed the meal. I have had the taco salad and the tacos recently. Both meals were delicious. They were courteous and very service oriented.
Very average Mexican food, but considered the better choice for Mexican in Sedalia. Service average, price is on higher average price side, not cheap Mexican. Not outstanding in anyway.
We eat here with coworkers often like at least once a week. Always excellent service excellent food and atmosphere love coming here
Food cold; waiter cold; Not much to say but NEVER MORE. I have had better Mexican in Warrensburg at Cancun. Sorry.
My mom and I dined here while we were in town. We were seated and chips and salsa were brought out immediately. The salsa is VERY good. It's not too hot, which I enjoyed. It's a smooth salsa not chunky and has a touch of cilantro in it. We both ordered fajitas. I had chicken and she had the trio...
El Tapatio is a great place to go for authentic Mexican food! The wait staff is fast, and you usually get your order very quickly. The margaritas are also amazing!
On our trips back and forth from Lake of the Ozarks we had seen El Tapatio from our car several times. On this trip our party of four was hungry and decided to give this place a try.
WOW, what a great decision! The only bad thing? This place is not in our hometown. I would go to El Tapatio...
My boyfriend lived in this area for quite a long time, and has been raving about this for the past eight years. We finally had an opportunity to travel to this area, and stopped here for dinner. This is great authentic Mexican food, and the prices are quite reasonable. The staff and service are excellent.
For over 30 years, the Mr. H.A. Perez and his family have provided locals and travelers alike with noticeably superior Mexican food, attentive service and outstanding family prices that keeps folks coming back again and again.

We have stayed (family of 4) at this motel many times when we make our yearly trek down to the State Fair. The room s are clean and well-maintained, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We get a "family suite" room, which is larger and has 2 double beds and a full-size hide-a-bed sofa. The beds are OK, but we always miss our pillow-top KingsDown when traveling.
The room has a large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall and a Fridge and Microwave. I believe all rooms have these. The swimming pool is clean and maintained, but don't plan on holding party in there - There is not room for anything other than the pool and a few chairs around the edge.
It is across the street from the airport, but we have never heard any planes. Not extremely close to anything in particular, but there are gas stations and a 24-hour grocery store about 2 blocks away.
The motel is located next to several other motels, and the neighborhood is quiet and nice.
The only complaint I have is that the motel is quite large - a lot of rooms, but the breakfast area is quite small and crowded. They have the normal breakfast fare including waffles and SOS.
A "better" Days Inn.

Gun prank leads to plea by ex-Mohave County employee
Clifford Olsen
By Erin Taylor
KINGMAN - A former Mohave County Public Works employee pleaded guilty earlier this week to charges of disorderly conduct with a weapon following an incident on the job last spring.
Clifford Olsen, 57, was fired from his position as maintenance crew leader at Davis Dam after being arrested in April. According to court documents, Olsen was with a group of co-workers when he placed one employee in a choke hold and put a gun to his head while saying, "I could kill you anytime I wanted."
The employee, along with several witnesses, said it appeared that Olsen was joking or trying to show off, according to the
Mohave County Sheriff's Office
, which handled the investigation of the incident.
Mohave County officials refused to comment after the incident as to whether Olsen was authorized to carry a gun on the job.
Under terms of the plea agreement, Olsen is expected to be sentenced to 15 days in jail and 3 years probation. He also agreed to surrender a 9mm gun used in the incident.
Olsen will be formally sentenced Feb. 20. His disorderly conduct charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor if he successfully completes probation.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
this track is pretty original, for this kind of songs is that i'm starting to enjoy the Jazz genre =), awsome
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this song. The snare was very well in time, which is amazing for how much it played. Assuming it wasn't a drum bot, of course XD.
I thought it went quite well with the song, though perhaps it was a bit loud. However, I loved the playig in the piano's frame, as well the 2 ostinatos against each other. The transitions were mostly well done, except for one at about 4:20 which seemed to be a little out of time, but it wasn't that bad. Overall, the feel and the creativity spoke to me.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Great piano piece! the only thing I wasn't a fan of was the snare in the beginning of the song. It didn't blend well imo. But then as the song became more epic the snare was quite fitting. great song!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It's not very good, but not bad either.
Keep making songs to improve your skills ;-)

792 Tasting Notes
Stabilise my Vata Dosha, Hava!
Another gracious sample from the gang at Tippity. I'm always very interested in medicinal teas, and I think this Ayurvedic blend would sit on my medicinal shelf for sure. After having two big mugs of it tonight after a night of poor sleep last night and a bit of anxiety, I'll see how I feel in the morning, but right now I'm feeling super great.
This tisane has a lot of flavour to it and the one that wins is the sage, damn son. Sit down. Down in front. The citrus and lemongrass are an excellent balance to the blend. I can sense this is one I'd crave after a belly full of food, and can see how it'd bring about some calm.
Another one from the Monstrositea September box. I love Russian Caravan so I knew this would have to be AWFUL for me to dislike it, so yes it was tasty but it didn't blow me away. I've had more delicious RCs recently.
What I did get outta this was the fun adventure of finally drinking RC with a sugar cube between my teeth! It's a bit like a timtam slam in that the first sip or two is great but then you gotta move quickly or it's going to explode in your mouth. Sugar crystals for all. I tried with both a brown cube and a white cube and the brown one was infinitely better… so I drank a few more.
This was my Spring Cleaning tea today, I did a big blitz (and drank about a litre of it) before welcoming the two cutest elderly English cousins staying in my guest room. Thanks Airbnb! Can I adopt these ones?

CACC drops two vs. PatriotsPublished 10:41am Thursday, May 8, 2014
The Central Alabama Trojans dropped two of their final three home games to Wallace State-Selma, but ended their regular season on a high note.
Despite having their offense bottled up for the first two matchups versus the Patriots, the Trojans were able to break through, riding a big inning to a regular-season ending win.
Now, CACC turns its attention to the Alabama Community College Conference tournament, where the Trojans will try to clinch a berth in the NJCAA World Series in hopes of defending its national championship.
Reports from the three-game series between CACC and Wallace-Selma are as follows.
CACC 1, Wallace-Selma 2 (May 1)
A pitcher's duel wasn't kind to the Trojans, as the Patriots' Kevin Simmons out-gunned CACC ace John Michael Knighton to claim a victory for Wallace State.
Simmons and Knighton each went the distance on the mound for their respective teams, but the Patriots were able to keep a better handle on the Trojans than CACC could do with their adversaries.
Simmons struck out 13 hitters, allowing only two hits and a run.
Knighton fanned 15 Patriot batters, allowing six hits and two runs, none of which were earned.
Miscues doomed the Trojans, as they committed four errors on the day.
Wallace-Selma scored in the second inning to take a 1-0 lead, and CACC was unable to answer until the seventh inning, when Chase Domino crossed home plate to knot things up.
Wallace-Selma reclaimed the lead in the eighth, and Simmons shut down the Trojans in the ninth to end it.
Will Davis and Jess Smith each had one hit for CACC.
CACC 2, Wallace-Selma 5
(May 3; 10 innings)
Much like game one of the series, offense was tough to come by for both teams in game two. Both squads traded scoreless innings until the Trojans drew first blood, scoring a run to take the early advantage.
The Patriots responded in the top of the eighth, putting up two runs. This time, the Trojans were able to answer in the later stages, scoring a game-tying run in the bottom half of the frame.
Wallace-Selma put it away in the top of the 10th, tacking on three runs.
Ryan Raspino went 5-for-5 at the plate with a RBI and a run scored. Alex Lee was 2-for-5 with a run scored, and Domino was 1-for-3 with a RBI.
Wilson Adams got a no-decision, pitching 7.1 innings and allowing two runs on five hits.
Matt Norton took the loss in relief, allowing three runs on four hits over the course of 1.2 innings pitched.
CACC 8, Wallace-Selma 3
(May 3; 7 innings)
A six-run explosion in the second inning powered the Trojans to an 8-3 win over the Patriots in CACC's final regular season contest.
The Trojans had fallen behind 2-0 entering the frame before they got their bats going.
The Trojans went on to add another run in each of the fourth and fifth innings to maintain the advantage.
Wallace-Selma scored in the fourth inning but were rendered largely ineffective in the abbreviated contest.
Shaun Smirnoff was shaky on the mound, giving up eight hits and three runs in 3.2 innings pitched.
Gabe Dees picked up the victory thanks to pitching 2.1 innings of shutout ball.
Ethan Hunt closed it out for CACC.
At the plate, Lee led the way with a three-run double. Davis was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored.
Rod Owens and Jalin Lawson each scored two runs. Raspino, Lawson and Zach Mayhew accounted for one RBI apiece.
CACC returns to action in the ACCC tournament versus Snead State on May 9.

Ultracraft anyone?
Anyone have any first-hand experience with Ultracraft cabinets please? Thanks!
I installed Ultracraft's Destiny line in my kitchen in July. I used the door style Breckenridge Wide, in Beach White, and on my island and breakfast banquette I used Chocolate on maple. I have been very pleased with the cabinets and their construction. My kitchen (in an 1889 Victorian in San Francisco) has 12 foot + ceilings, and Ultracraft lets you customize heights and widths at a very affordable price point. I got another quote from another cabinet company that was the same price within a couple thousand dollars as the Ultracraft, but would have cost me a lot more to get the custom heights and widths I needed.
Ultracraft is a very good company to deal with. The crown molding that was shipped with my cabinets was a different shade of paint than the doors. They had apparently not been painted with a second coat of paint (or perhaps a different dye lot) than the rest, and Ultracraft fixed it with very little fuss. I have to say the guy who I bought my cabinets from is terrific and has a great relationship with the company, so that helped get things done quickly and smoothly. If you are in the SF Bay Area let me know and I'll give you the name of the person I bought them from.
The one thing I wish I had done was get fewer two door cabinets and more drawers instead. The drawers are ergonomically much easier to access and faster. With the traditional two door cabinet, you have to open the doors and then pull out the rolling shelf to access. So consider using more drawers.
Thanks to Angela 12345 for prodding me to write this!
Ultracraft is one of the brands we are considering because they are frameless and have a 100 years warranty. However we have no idea of the cost yet. Are you able to give me an estimate of cost per cabinet or linear feet? The KD appointment is in one week and they do not want to give me a cost estimate before the appointment. We do not know whether this will be way above our budget or not. Thanks!
@readheaddeluxe - yes Gary from KitchenSync is the guy. He is terrific.
@aliris - did you check their website? I note that they've redone it and have a lot of good photos on there. I'll take a couple photos in the morning and put them up but I am not a very good photographer.
@kitchendreaming - sorry I can't give you a cost per cabinet or linear foot. And the costs vary significantly depending on which door style you choose, and how tall your ceilings are. I can tell you it was around $25,000 for a 350 square foot kitchen, which included double uppers, lowers, island and breakfast banquette. There are a lot of cheaper lines out there including within Ultracraft, but none that I think offer as a good a price to quality ratio.
We installed Ultracraft cherry almost 7 years ago here in Houston. We had 3 teenage/young adult sons at home + all their friends. Cabinets still look great and I love them.
In my old house I had the vision line of Ultracraft and was not happy. The color (or how ever they get stain on) was chipping off the door. I did look at the destiny line at my cabinet store and they were more money than Kraftmaid and are not made of plywood.
Thanks for the review, farmersdaughter !! Ultracraft is the line that my builder uses and recommends, so it helps to get some feedback on them. It doesn't seem like many people use them, as the threads I have found don't have much response on them. Several people say that they considered them but did not end up using them. I would be interested to hear the reasons others decided against Ultracraft. Thanks !
I'm also interested in seeing pictures of the cabinets in a real-life kitchen, farmersdaughter if you are still game to post pictures I'm interested! Especially since I'm considering Breckenridge / Beach White so was surprised to see that your pictures might be really helpful to us!
dreamojean, we did end up using Ultracraft and I am super happy with them. Although, our cabinets are cherry with the chestnut stain, so not the white that you are looking at. I have a very long post about my cabinets, and cabinets in general in this thread ... http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0206313721622.html
I have also talked about them in a lot of other threads ... http://www.google.com/search?q=ultracraft+angela12345+site:gardenweb.com+-%22clippings+by%22
I recently got a quote on Ultracraft and decided against them mainly because we decided to go with beaded inset. We did fall in love with a stain that we are trying to match with our custom cabinet maker (storm gray on rustic alder - it's a gorgeous grayish green). I don't know how that is going to turn out since I can't find a picture of cabinets with that stain anywhere on the web and I can't buy a sample from the company. :\ We also fell in love with a double arc mullion door that is crazy expensive (like $3840 for 2 mullioned door 24" cabinets) The Ultracraft floor sample at the cabinet place is a total showstopper.

A Glittering Hanukkah Centerpiece
This Star of David project will help to illuminate your holiday table.
Materials and Tools:
shallow glass bowl (11"-15" diameter, 2-4" deep)
18-gauge wire (at least 30 feet)
needle-nose wire pliers with wire cutter
12" square (approx.) scrap of wood
6 nails
hammer, ruler, pencil
polystyrene foam to fit in deepest area of bowl (approx. 4" square)
silver Mylar sheet
glass marbles, blue and clear
silver leaf (foil) and adhesive
flat 1/2" brush
8 clear smooth glass votive holders and white candles
florist's sticky clay
1. Mark an equilateral triangle on the wood, measuring 7 to 9 inches between points (adjust the size of the triangle based on the size of the bowl, no real rule, just preference). Hammer nails into each point.
2. Cut a length of wire approximately 9 feet long. Wrap one end of the wire around a nail, leaving a two-inch tail. Tightly wrap the entire length of wire around all nails, making sure to end at one of the triangle points. Wrap the end of the wire under all layers of wrapped wire and twist over the wires several times to secure.
3. Cut two pieces of wire, each about two inches. Using pliers, wrap these at the remaining two points several times to secure. Pinch the ends with the pliers to prevent sharp points.
4. Remove two nails from the wood and slide the triangle shape from them. Use your fingers to sharpen the corners of the triangle and adjust to the desired shape.
5. Repeat these steps to create a second triangle.
6. Lay one triangle over the other to create the Star of David. Cut six pieces of wire to two-inch lengths. Use these pieces to twist around the triangles where the two touch. Use the pliers to tighten the wrap and pinch to prevent sharp points.
7. Cut two pieces of wire, each about 14 inches long. Fold each piece in half. Wrap one wire around each side of the bottom point of the star, along the straight edge that intersects the bottom point. With the pliers, twist tightly and neatly the entire length of each folded piece of wire. These wires should point away from the main part of the star and will serve as the stand that holds the star up. Set the star aside. If desired, paint the completed star with silver spray paint.
8. Apply a generous amount of silver foil adhesive to each of the candleholders. Allow to dry, following package directions. Apply the silver foil, as much or as little as desired.
9. Wrap the block of polystyrene foam with the silver Mylar sheet as you would a present. Use florist's sticky clay to attach the wrapped block to the bottom center of the glass bowl. Insert the wire attached as the stand to the star into the center of the foam block, the wire point should poke easily through the mylar. If the star isn't standing straight, apply a dab of hot glue at the base of the wire and hold straight until set. Cover the glue dot with a glass marble.
10. In the bowl, mix the blue and clear glass marbles, filling it to almost full and covering most of the Mylar-covered foam.
11. Place a few marbles into each of the candleholders, and then place a candle in each. Arrange the candle holders in the bowl of marbles, moving marbles around to get a variation of heights.

Power Rankings: No. 30 Minnesota Vikings
By Ben Goessling
A weekly examination of the Vikings'
ESPN.com Power Ranking:
: 17 |
Last Week
: 29 |
ESPN.com Power Ranking since 2002
The Vikings dropped yet another spot after a 23-7 loss to the
New York Giants
on "Monday Night Football," and even though they can fall only two more spots in the rankings, their schedule over the next few weeks doesn't offer much chance of a reprieve from a 1-5 start. The Vikings return home for a Sunday night matchup with the NFC North-leading
Green Bay Packers
, before they head to Dallas to face the NFC East-leading Cowboys. Then, after a Thursday night game against the
Washington Redskins
, the Vikings head to Seattle for a game with the Seahawks -- the team with the best record in the NFC.
Things could get rather ugly in Minnesota, and the obvious question is how much losing the Vikings' ownership will endure before they demand staff changes. The team is at a sensitive point right now, with a new stadium set to open in less than three years. No team wants to move into a new stadium with low morale, so if the Vikings don't think Leslie Frazier will be able to turn things around, they might not want to waste time trying to find their next coach. But it remains to be seen where the Vikings will go with Frazier, and for that matter, what they'll do with general manager Rick Spielman, who picked
Christian Ponder
Andy Dalton
Colin Kaepernick
in 2011 and helped precipitate the team's current quarterback mess. For a player who's been with the team for just two weeks,
Josh Freeman
might have considerable ability to tip the Vikings' season -- and a few job statuses -- in one direction or the other.

A method of operating and process for fabricating an electron source. A conductive rod is covered by an insulating layer, by dipping the rod in an insulation solution, for example. The rod is then covered by a field emitter material to form a layered conductive rod. The rod may also be covered by a second insulating material. Next, the materials are removed from the end of the rod and the insulating layers are recessed with respect to the field emitter layer so that a gap is present between the field emitter layer and the rod. The layered rod may be operated as an electron source within a vacuum tube by applying a positive bias to the rod with respect to the field emitter material and applying a higher positive bias to an anode opposite the rod in the tube. Electrons will accelerate to the charged anode and generate soft X-rays.
1. A process for fabricating an electron source, consisting essentially of:
(a) covering at least one end of a conductive rod with a first insulating layer, wherein at least one end of the conductive rod further comprises a base and a side wall,
(b) covering at least a portion of the first insulating layer with a layer of a field emitter material to form a field emitter layer,
(c) covering at least a portion of the field emitter layer with a second insulating layer,
(d) covering at least one end of the conductive rod with a layer of a protective material, wherein the protective material is in contact with the second insulating layer,
(e) removing the first insulating layer and the field emitter layer from the base of the conductive rod to form a conductive rod having an exposed base and a side wall that is layered in the proximity of the exposed base,
(f) removing a portion of the first insulating layer so that the first insulating layer is recessed with respect to the exposed base, and
(g) removing at least a portion of the layer of the protective material, wherein step (g) is performed after step (e) and before step (f).

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/763,552 filed Jan. 23, 2004 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,317,278 which is a non-provisional of provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 60/444,152 filed on Jan. 31, 2003.
The present invention relates to electron emitters. More specifically, the present invention relates to the fabrication of electron emitters, which may be used as X-ray sources in nanoparticle-based electron guns.
In recent years, the field of �vacuum microelectronics� has experienced tremendous growth. Vacuum microelectronics is the science of building devices that operate with electrons that are free to move in a vacuum based on the ballistic movement of the electrons in the vacuum. This enables higher electron energies than are possible with semiconductor structures, so vacuum microelectronic devices can operate at higher frequencies and higher power in a wider temperature range, as well as in high radiation environments. By contrast, solid-state semiconductor microelectronics have carriers (e.g., electrons and holes), which have their movement impaired by interaction with the lattice structure of the semiconductor substrate.
One way of obtaining electrons for vacuum microelectronics devices is by field emission or �cold emission,� using a typical Spindt emitter. A Spindt emitter includes a substrate with small cones fabricated into its surface designed to emit electrons from their tips. Alternate geometric configurations such as wedges or �volcano� configurations have also been used. Each cone, or other design, has a concentric aperture etched from the substrate surrounding the cone. This aperture has a conductive gate film deposited on its surface so that an array of cones functions as a field emission source of electrons when a positive potential is applied to the gate relative to the tips of the cones. Once free of the confining tip, the electrons
Unfortunately, Spindt emitters are very difficult to fabricate. For example, many issues affect the etching or formation of the cones, or other shapes of the Spindt emitter. Fabrication difficulties include, for instance, forming a cone with a precise tip, uniformity of the cones within an array, spacing between cones of the array, and scaling of the cone forms (i.e., obtaining a 1:1 base diameter-to-cone height ratio).
Another type of emitter that produces electrons is a thin-film edge field emitter. This type of emitter includes a substrate, such as that used as the base of an integrated circuit, in which thin-film layers of material are deposited upon, using a chemical beam deposition (�CBD�) process for example, and desired areas are etched out of these layers to form an area where electrons may be extracted. Similar to Spindt emitters, thin-film edge field emitters are difficult to manufacture since precise designs are required, therefore, it is difficult to create these type of emitters with reproducibly designed emitter surfaces. Consequently, an electron source that overcomes these problems is desirable.
In an exemplary embodiment, a layered conductive rod is provided. The layered conductive rod comprises a central conductive rod having a base and side walls, a first insulating layer covering the side walls, and a field emitter layer covering the first insulating layer. The layered conductive rod may be fabricated by covering at least one end of a conductive rod with a first insulating layer, and thereafter, covering at least a portion of the first insulating layer with a layer of a field emitter material to form a field emitter layer.
In another respect, the exemplary embodiment may take the form of a vacuum tube, which comprises the layered conductive rod positioned in a housing. In addition, a second conductive rod may be positioned in the housing opposite the layered conductive rod. The vacuum tube may be operated by applying a first voltage bias, such as a positive bias for example, to an inner rod of the layered conductive rod with respect to a field emitter layer of the layered conductive rod, and applying a second voltage bias, such as a higher positive bias for example, to the second conductive rod with respect to the field emitter layer in order to accelerate electrons from the field emitter layer to the second conductive rod to generate x -rays.
These as well as other features and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by reading the following detailed description, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the following drawings, in which:
The present invention relates to electron emitters. More specifically, the present invention relates to the fabrication of electron emitters, which may be used as X-ray sources in nanoparticle-based electron guns. In another respect, the present invention provides a process for fabrication of a miniature triode X-ray generator.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to
By way of example,
In another embodiment, conductive rod 100 may comprise a rod of any material covered with a layer of a conductive material. For example, a glass rod (such as a glass fiber) may be covered with a layer of tungsten or tantalum to form conductive rod 100. The layer may be about 0.1 μm to about 1 μm thick. Other insulating materials may be used as well to form conductive rod 100, as long as they have a layer of conductive material formed on an exterior surface. In addition, rods comprising slightly conductive materials may be covered with a layer of a more conductive material to form conductive rod 100 to improve performance of conductive rod 100.
To form layered conductive rod 108, conductive rod 100 is initially covered with a first insulating material 102 to form an insulated conductive rod, as shown in
First insulating material 102 may be a non-conductive material such as a spin-on glass material or polymide. The layer of first insulating material 102 may be between about 0.5 μm to about 3 μm or more in thickness depending on a desired application.
After conductive rod 100 is covered with first insulating material 102, conductive rod 100 is allowed to cure to form an insulated conductive rod. For example, if first insulating material 102 is a spin-on glass, the insulated conductive rod is heated to about 400� C. to cure the material. As another example, if first insulating material 102 is polymide, the insulated conductive rod is heated to about 350� C. to cure.
Next, the insulated conductive rod is covered with a field emitter material 104, as illustrated in
Field emitter material 104 may be carbon-based material. For example, field emitter material 104 may be carbon nanotubes, Vulcan black, or Vulcan black mixed with nanoparticle size silica mixed in spin-on glass or polymide. In addition, these carbon-based materials may be supplied as powders that may be mixed with a photoresist material to obtain field emitter material 104.
The layer of field emitter material 104 may be between about 0.1 μm to about 4 μm thick depending on a desired application. The carbon-based nanoparticles, including nanotubes, can be mixed in a matrix and deposited on the insulated conductive rod, by dipping the insulated rod into the field emitter matrix.
After the insulated conductive rod is covered with field emitter material 104, the rod is allowed to cure. For example, to cure field emitter material 104, the rod may be heated to about 120� C.
Next, the insulated conductive rod is covered with a second insulating material 106 and allowed to cure to form layered conductive rod 108, as illustrated in
Conductive rod 100 can be covered with the insulating materials and the field emitter material (and possibly initially by a conductive material to enhance performance) by dipping conductive rod 100 into a liquid or fluid form (possible including particles of materials) of the respective materials. Conductive rod 100 is dipped a sufficient length into the liquid to cover a desired length and portion of conductive rod 100. For example, only one end of conductive rod 100 may be dipped because although conductive rod 100 may be about 1 inch to about 2 inches long, possibly only about 2 mm of the rod may need to be covered to create layered conductive rod 108.
In an alternative method, conductive rod 100 can be covered with the materials using a sputtering technique. Conductive rod 100 may be inserted into a sputtering machine, which deposits the materials onto the rod. Also, conductive rod 100 can be covered using a chemical vapor deposition (�CVD�) technique, or any other covering methods that are useful with the type of materials described above.
Next, as shown in
The layers may be removed by a chemical mechanical polishing (�CMP�) step, or simply by polishing the layers off surface 112 of conductive rod 100. A mechanical grinding/polishing step can also be used. In addition, a portion of the layered conductive rod may simply be cut off the end of the rod to form exposed surface 112 of conductive rod 100. The depth of the cross-sectional cut may be determined according to a desired application. For example, the layered conductive rod may be cut to be about 1 mm to about 2 mm in length for integration into a catheter (discussed more fully below).
After second insulating layer 106, field emitter layer 104, and first insulating layer 102 are removed from surface 112 of conductive rod 100, first and second insulating layers 102 and 106 may be recessed from surface 112 to create gaps 114 a and 114 b, as illustrated in
To utilize the layered conductive rod as an electron source, it may be necessary to have insulating layers 102 and 106 recessed from surface 112, so that they are not flush with surface 112, in order to allow charge carriers to pass from field emitter material 104 to conductive rod 100 through gap 114 a. Field emitter layer 104 will remain substantially flush with surface 112 of conductive rod 100.
First and second insulating layers 102 and 106 may be recessed by etching a portion of the layers away from surface 112 to create gaps 114 a and 114 b using any standard material etching technique.
After first and second insulating layers 102 and 106 have been recessed from surface 112, protective material layer 110 may be removed from layered conductive rod 108 to form the electron source 116, as illustrated in
Electron source 116 may have a variety of shapes. The cross-sectional shape of electron source 116 is not important. However, electron source 116 will generally have a length that exceeds its cross-sectional diameter or effective diameter.
Electron source 116 performs or is useful as an electron emitter for diverse applications such as within cathode ray tubes, replacing a thermionic emitter. By using copper as conductive rod 100, heat dissipated at the emission sites of field emitter layer 104 can be readily removed by the copper rod.
Envelope 146 may comprise a fused silica or Schott glass tube with an inner diameter of about 0.5 mm to about 0.7 mm and a length of about 2.5 mm or more. On one end of envelope 146, rod 148 with a conical shaped or semispherical shaped end is sealed into envelope 146. Rod 148 may be made of tungsten, molybdenum, copper, or alloys as well. Rod 148 may be up to about 2.5 mm in length and may have a diameter of up to about 0.5 mm. Standard glass-to-metal sealing techniques can be used to seal the rod into place. For example, if envelope 146 is made of Schott glass, then rod 148 can be first sealed to uranium glass and the uranium glass can then be sealed to the Schott glass envelope using a small Bunsen burner or appropriate micro heater.
On opposite end 149 of envelope 146, electron source 116 is inserted along with getter bead 150, and electron source 116 is sealed to envelope 146, in vacuum for example, by using an appropriate fixture connected to a vacuum pump. The heat generated during the sealing process activates getter bead 150 (which can be placed at any position in the envelope 146, not limited to end 149). Getter bead 150 sorbs gases inside the vacuum envelope 146 that are generated by outgassing events. Getter bead 150 may be any material that can absorb impurities such as water, oxygen, nitrogen, CO, and CO2 particles in envelope 146. Getter bead 150 may comprise zirconium-aluminum (Zr�Al) or zirconium-boron-iron (Zr�B�Fe) alloys, for example.
Housing 144 of vacuum tube 142 may comprise polydimethylsiloxane (�PDMS�), with an appropriate amount of nanoparticles to render it slightly conductive, such as with Vulcan black particles. However, housing 144 may comprise other conductive materials as well. Housing 144 may be about 100 μm to about 300 μm thick and about 1500 μm to about 3000 μm long with an effective diameter of about 500 μm to about 1000 μm for desired applications, such as within a cardiovascular catheter. Envelope 146 including electron source 116 and rod 148 may be inserted into a PDMS solution, to apply housing 144 around envelope 146.
Housing 144 generates a leakage current from rod 148 to electron source 116. For example, at an applied voltage of about 15-20 kV to rod 148, a microampere range leakage current may result. By providing this leakage path, vacuum tube 142 flash over events from rod 148 to electron source 116 are prevented at high voltages.
In an alternate method, a negative bias may be applied to field emitter layer 104 and a ground potential may be applied to conductive rod 100 in order to pull electrons out of field emitter layer 104. To pull electrons out of field emitter material 104, conductive rod 100 simply needs to have a more positive charge than field emitter material 104. And to accelerate the electrons to rod 148, rod 148 simply needs to have a more positive charge than conductive rod 100.
For more information regarding X-ray radiation due to electron emission, the reader is referred to U.S. Pat. No. 6,477,235, the contents of which are fully incorporated by reference herein.
In the application illustrated in
As another example, electron source 116 may be employed in many applications where thermionic electron emission sources are used, such as within a diode or any electron tube, e.g. cathode ray tube. Electron source 116 may be used in many other applications as well.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with presently preferred embodiments of the invention, persons of skill in the art will appreciate that variations may be made without departure from the scope and spirit of the invention. This true scope and spirit is defined by the appended claims, which may be interpreted in light of the foregoing.

With these easy-to-follow techniques, even the most kitchen-challenged cooks can: raise a big-top circus cupcake tier for a child's birthday; trot out a line of confectionery 'pupcakes' for a dog fancier; serve sausage and pepperoni pizza cupcakes for April Fool's Day; and, bewitch trick-or-treaters with chilly ghost chocolate cupcakes, a white cupcake Christmas wreath, and Easter egg cupcakes. No baking skills or fancy pastry equipment is required. Spotting the familiar items in the hundreds of brilliant photos is at least half the fun.

I always do a lot of research before ordering a book and I was very excited to when this one came in the post. Not for long though. Even though it is supposed to be a best seller and a lot of people rave about it, I cannot see the big attraction of this book. Better even, I don't think there are more than a handful of recipes in it that I am willing to try out. I have a lot of books and just started my own (cup)cake business and this book is not really useful to me. I admit that there are some real cute project in there, but I am amazed of the amount of plain ugly decoration. The fact that most of the cupcakes are decorated with some kind of candy makes the cupcakes less attractive in my opinion. That at the same time could be a big advantage for people who are baking just for home and for fun.

Very glad I purchased this title. The instruction are easy to follow (and fun). I wasn't expecting such a high standard of cake design and was impressed and surprised by some of the examples. All are easily achievable and guidance is given readily. The book not only teaches but inspires.

"I have a HEAP of cake decorating books but this one has got to be my favourite. The directions and recipes are succinct and well written. It's inspirational to those who are experienced decorators and achievable for those with less experience.
The designs are eye catching and easy to achieve. They're quirky and exciting, and adults and children alike respond with smiles and laughter when presented with one.
You won't be sorry if you buy it."
