Maine, County Probate Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)Edit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Maine, County Probate Records, 1760-1979 .
Record Description
The collection consists of images of county probate books. The record content and time period varies by county.
|You can browse through images in this collection by visiting the browse page for Maine, County Probate Records, 1760-1979.
Record Content
Probate records include petitions, inventories, accounts, decrees and other court documents. They may include the following information:
- Name of the testator or deceased
- Date of death
- Names of the heirs, such as spouse, children, other relatives, and friends
- Name of the executor, administrator, or guardian
- Names of witnesses
- Dates the documents were written and recorded (may be used to approximate a death date since a will was usually written near the time of death).
How to Use the Record
This section provides information on how to search the collection, what to do with information once found, some tips on how to search, and what to do if no record is found.
To begin your search it is helpful to know the following:
- The place of residence
- The approximate death or probate date
- The name of the deceased
Search the Collection
To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:
⇒Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page
⇒Select the appropriate "County" Record Type
⇒Select the appropriate "Record Type, Record Description" Record Type which takes you to the images.
Search the collection by image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example:
- Use probate records to identify heirs and relatives.
- Use the document (such as the will) or the recording dates to approximate a death date.
- Use the information in the probate record to substitute for civil birth and death records since the probates exist for an earlier time period.
- Use the birth date or age along with the residence or place of birth of the deceased to locate census, church, and land records.
- Use the occupations listed to find employment records or other types of records such as military records.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- You may be able to use the probate record to learn about adoptions or guardianship of any minor children and dependents.
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname as the deceased, this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have died in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- You may be able to use the probate record to learn about land transactions.
- The information in the records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the deceased or the testator.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800s.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for a different index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.

Idea for BluRay-Set: TNG Season 8

Re: Idea for BluRay-Set: TNG Season 8
Salinga wrote:
This is an idea I also had back then for the DVD sets, but maybe for BluRay it even makes more sense:
The "8th Season" is pretty much a BluRay set containing TNG crossover episodes from the other Star Trek series (VOY, DS9 and ENT) - episodes, that contain TNG characters (actors reprising the TNG role) or are in direct context of a TNG story.
CBS could use this BluRay set to test the HD transfer of all the other Trek series and keep TNG fans interested in buying a BluRay set of Star Trek series they wouldnt probably buy, if it were just only VOY, DS9 or ENT (and vice versa, since it would bring pretty much fans of all series together in watching episodes of the other series in HD they otherwise wouldnt care about).
I would be massivly interested in such a project.
They are either going to convert DS9/Voyager or not. They are not going to convert a few TNG themed episodes in advance of that (IMO)
They are now hinting they WILL convert DS9.

Audible tone generators, particularly a hand-held tone generator for generating an audible tone as a test for equalizing binaural hearing aids. The circuit is characterized by its "fountain pen" size, as well as its extreme simplicity and reliability.
1. A tone generator comprising:
a. An elongated housing;
b. A hood supported upon an end of said housing, including a speaker aperture;
c. A tone generator circuit supported within the hood including:
i. a socket adapted for connection to a source of electrical power;
ii. a plurality of operational amplifiers whose balance is maintained by resistor and capacitor elements, and
iii. a speaker fitted within the speaker aperture;
d. the source of electrical power supported within said housing and connected to said tone generator circuit via said socket, and
e. an on/off switch in the form of a resilient clip supported on the outside of said housing and interconnecting said source of electrical power and said socket.
2. A tone generator as in claim 1, including a perforated screen fitted within said hood adjacent said speaker.
3. A tone generator as in claim 2, said tone generator circuit being in the form of a printed circuit board supported within said hood intermediate said socket and said speaker.
4. A tone generator as in claim 3, said operational amplifiers being united in four stages so as to provide a total gain of approximately 72 dB.
5. A tone generator as in claim 4, said circuit having a drain current of 0.45 mA.
A continuation-in-part of applicant's earlier filed Audible Tone Generator, Ser. No. 07/464,045, filed Jan. 12, 1990 now abandoned.
The present application concerns an improved noise amplifier circuit, which generates an audible tone for testing binaural hearing aids.
1. Field of the Invention
Audible tone generators, particularly a hand-held device for generating a tone within the audible range as a test for human hearing.
2. Description of the Prior Art
HUTH, U.S. Pat. No. 2,156,945
MULLIN et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,105,876
RUDMOSE, U.S. Pat. No. 3,588,358
The prior art discloses relatively bulky and complex devices for generating tones within the audible range. However, there are no prior art tone generators which are of fountain pen size and simplified format, enabling support within a coat pocket by means of a clip which serves as the on/off switch.
According to the present invention, a tone generator circuit is supported within a fountain pen type format. The fountain pen "cap" or hood includes a speaker aperture through which the generated audible tone may be amplified for testing of the human ear. The elongated fountain pen type housing supports a fountain pen type clip which enables the testing device to be carried as a fountain pen. The clip also serves as an on/off switch for closing the tone generator circuit with its source of power. The tone generator circuit is programmed to generate a broad band noise which can be used as a reference for adjusting volume on binaural hearing aids.
FIG. 1 is a side elevation, partially in fragmentary section of the binaural equalizer housing with attached hood.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical section of the hood with amplifier circuit and speaker positioned therein.
FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of the speaker 32 and adjacent circuit board 30.
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of the operational amplifier circuit.
FIG. 5 is front elevation of the screen 36.
FIG. 6 is a side elevation of the screen.
FIG. 7 is a vertical section of socket 34 into which the amplifier circuit is fitted.
FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram of one side of the circuit board showing resistor and capacitor elements.
FIG. 9 is another diagram of the reverse side of the circuit board 30.
In FIG. 1, binaural equalizer body or housing 20 is shown in the form of a fountain pen having a clip 22 which serves, also, as the on-off switch for the energizer circuit. Hood 24 is fitted to body 20, such that socket 34, printed circuit board 30, and speaker 32 may be supported therein.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, hood 24 may have a screen 36 fitted by means of shoulder 80 within the hood opening adjacent speaker 32. A plurality of apertures 28 may be provided for telephone headset-type sound channeling.
Printed circuit board 30 is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 as including leads 41, 42 which engage complemental leads 38, 40 extending within socket 34. Lead 38 is in the form of a dressmaker's drape pin which contacts 3.0 volt DC (AA type) battery power supply 88 via on/off switch 86, activated by clip 22, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
The operational amplifier circuit is illustrated in FIG. 4 as including four operational amplifiers 90, 92, 94 and 96 with leads 41, 42 to the power supply and to ground. The circuit is basically a noise amplifier with each of the amplifiers providing a closed loop gain depending upon the ratio of adjacent resistors. As FIG. 4 illustrates, this circuit is basically a noise amplifier, with four LM324-type amplifiers 90, 92, 94 and 96 linked in four stages. Each stage provides a closed loop gain, depending upon the ratio of adjacent resistors. For example:
Amplifier 90 (First stage gain)=resistors 50, 48=360/15=24 dB (assumed at very high frequency)
Amplifier 92 (Second stage gain)=resistors 54, 52=360/10=36 dB
Amplifier 94 (Third stage gain)=resistors 58,56=10 dB
Amplifier 96 (Fourth stage gain)=resistors 62, 60=1.8 dB
Manifestly, the values of resistors 50, 48, 52, 54, 58, 56, 62, 60 can be varied in order to adjust the gain. The total gain is the sum of the four amplifier stages which is approximately 72 dB.
Resistors 84 and 64 supply the reference voltage to the four operational amplifiers: 90, 92, 94 and 96. Capacitor 68 stabilizes the reference voltage. The remaining capacitors 10, 12, 74, 76 serve a coupling purpose.
First stage amplifier 90 picks up noise through resistor 50 and capacitor 66, and amplifies noise through the first and remaining operational amplifier stages.
As indicated, the supply voltage of the circuit is 3.0 VDC. The total drain current is 0.45 mA.
Values of resistors may vary plus or minus 5% and capacitor tolerance may vary as much as 20%, according to the following:
Resistor 50=360K
Resistor 52=10K
Resistor 54=360K
Resistor 56=1K
Resistor 58=10K
Resistor 60=1K
Resistor 62=1.8K
Resistor 84=1M
Resistor 64=1M
Resistor 10=15K
Capacitor 66=0.047
Capacitor 68=1.0
Capacitor 70=0.1
Capacitor 72=0.1
Capacitor 74=0.1
Capacitor 76=1.0
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the circuit leads 44, 46 are connected to receiver 32. Speaker 32 may be of a small size and light weight type manufactured by Voyagers Electronics Corp. (Intervox Series BRT1202) with the following specifications:
Rated voltage: 1.5 volts DC
Operating voltage range: 1.1 to 1.7
Current (milli-amps): 10
Direct current resistance: (Q) 42/15
Inductance (mH): 6.2
Sound pressure level (dB): M1N80 TYP 88-(10 cm)
Resonance frequency (hZ): 2040
Weight (grams): 2.
Speaker 32 provides long life at a high sound pressure level with low current consumption and without electrical noise.
It is widely recognized that even if hearing loss is mild, binaural hearing aids (i.e., one hearing aid in each ear) may provide valuable and significant improvement. With improved ability to hear correctly, stress is reduced and the user of the hearing aids will experience a relaxation of listening effort.
Applicant's binaural equalizer may be used to calibrate the binaural hearing aids. Depression of clip 22 activates on/off switch 86 to generate the broad band noise, which may be used as a reference for adjusting the individual volume on the binaural hearing aids. The user's ears, of course, must be aided equally to avoid the sensation of being "deaf" on one side. The user holds the equalizer speaker 32 adjacent the right ear (about 3 or 4 inches away) and then depresses clip 22. The process is repeated with the left ear. If the hearing aids are equal in loudness, calibration is required. If the hearing aids are unequal, one hearing aid should be turned down until the two are perceived equally.
Next, equalizer housing 20 is held facing the center of the wearer's forehead about 6 inches in front of the face. Again, clip 22 is depressed to energize the amplifier circuit. If the sound appears to be in the center of the wearer's head, no calibration is required. However, if the sound is discerned as louder on one side, then that hearing aid should be reduced in volume, correspondingly.
The user may then say "5-5-5". If the user's voice is perceived as in balance, calibration is not required. However, if the voice appears too loud, both hearing aids should be turned "down" or turned "up" correspondingly.
Ten advantages of binaural hearing have been suggested as follows:
1. Safety: when a person hears with only one ear, the difficulty in locating sound can be dangerous, especially in traffic.
2. Improved understanding: binaural hearing helps one to sort out and understand individual voices.
3. Wider hearing range: a voice barely heard at 10 feet with one ear can be heard up to 40 feet away with two ears.
4. Restful listening: listening with only one ear is physically tiring and stressful.
5. Both ears stay active: when a bilaterally hearing impaired person wears a hearing aid in only one ear, the unused ear tends to lose its ability to hear and understand.
6. Cushions loud sounds: sudden loud sounds lose much of their jarring effect when divided between two ears.
7. Better sound identification: many noises which sound almost exactly alike when heard with one ear can be identified easily when heard with two ears.
8. Smoother tone quality: binaural hearing generally requires less volume, giving a natural sound to voices and music.
9. Hearing from both sides: as nature intended, hearing with two ears allows you to enjoy a more normal social life.
10. Hear with less power: hear more quietly with less background interference.
Manifestly, variations in housing and circuitry may be employed without departing from the spirit of invention.

Irish Bar Exterior Design Help Please
Long-time reader.
These are the simple ideas of a bachelor teacher with no design sense so any/all general tips are greatly appreciated.
Doing a long overdue exterior upgrade of bar/grill I co-own and am looking for design suggestions to give it more of an Irish bar look.
I was thinking painting the brown upper brick Kelly green, the light coloured lower wood a dark brown, add white grilles to windows, remove both canopies, change blue sign letters to gold and extend width of frontage (adding a logo (shamrock) on the left and smaller words Bar/Grill on the right. I'd also split/remove the deck (sorry, covered by plastic) to add a straight-on front entrance w/ high end solid wood door (brass? handles) with side panels(remove parking spaces).
I'd probably add extend patio the the whole way to the left but put 4' high enclosure w/ horizontal, spaced 1x3's - painted matching brown base colour so it blends in w/ base colour but can still be seen as a patio when in use (non-winter).
Thanks for your time and suggestions. BTW, site staff allowed this business post - not intended as advertisement.
Have you ran an image search on google? There are tons of ideas showing existing Irish bars. The link below is one I like for comparison to yours. And they used shutters inside rather than changing windows for an affect. I wouldn't paint the brick, you have enough area to paint green for what is in the plans. Is there any way to change your sign, know this is expensive, but an Irish font would make a world of difference. Along with some old lamps across the windows.
Here is a link that might be useful: Irish bar
An excellent inspiration photo -- and the colors could be used here too -- with great effect on the viewer.
Yes -- a vote to paint the upper part and the brick in dark Kelley green. BUT -- consider painting the lower part in deep dark red. I do like the idea of shutters along with your idea to add mullions to the windows.
For your sign -- think of old European pubs -- and go for a true "sign" -- have the painters paint a border around the name and do not use the words "bar and grill" -- and go for the word "pub" instead. THEN you could place a wood sandwich sign on the front with a chalkboard for your daily specials or your special beer.
Yes -- an excellent idea to re-do the patio area. Always a great European touch. If you can -- think of adding a couple of wood barrels full of seasonal flowers to the front too.
Yes -- a great wood door would be visually stunning -- especially with brass handles.
Have a stylized shamrock or even a triquetra (a Celtic symbol) -- a little different symbol that might catch the eye.
And of course -- please hire local bands -- especially good Irish rockers like The Killdares (a local band) for your Friday night crowds. And don't forget to have football(soccer) and rugby nights too ...
Cheers! Slainte!
Excellent ideas! Love all the ideas floating around. Great touches are the wooden sandwich sign to place outside the front door with the daily specials (or just inside the door in bad weather) and do call it a 'pub'. If you have the space, double wooden doors would be nice. Irish bands are nice once in a while if you have one locally to play slip jig type of music.
Google McGuire's Irish Pub in Destin, FL for some additional photos and ideas in green. I can't post photos right now.
Here are three in my area. Only McGillin's which has been in operation since 1860 is in it's own building. The others have modified commercial storefronts pretty successfully.
Ya dang young fool!! -- the auld tounge widd dae nae guid atall hereaboots ....
Loovely language -- but wasted on this side of pond! :)
Now pop up to the bar -- and see if ye canna find a decent drink ... I have nae hope atall at finding a decent cup of tay ...
((and no I haven't the brains to learn the Old Way -- according to ma grandma -- I have "enuf trouble learning the King's Own" ...)
Red and green is um, not something I would recommend.
This is a popular Irish bar around here with young people. There are others that look more formal, this was done a bit on the cheap.
An Irish pub is not supposed to look like a box of Lucky Charms.
Red or green are traditional Irish pub colors, as evidenced by these photos of "the real deal".
This one is garish, but would definitely get noticed!
I rather like this color combo:
This is in Dingle, Kerry. Do you think that An Droichead Beag or An Droicead Beag is an authetic Irish bar for tourists?
The Gaeiliann sign is a bit out of character in a part of Ireland where about 4% of the population speaks Gaelic. If it were in Donegal where 50% of the speak or understand Geailge, it would seem a bit more authentic. The other schemes that you posted with the blackened green with some gold leaf seem more genuine for the pubs catering to the locals.
Go raibh maith agat :)
WOW! Thank you all for your creative input. The suggestions and pix have given me some ideas. Like the idea of a double door, shutters and authentic sign (celtic logo/font). Not sure if we can use the English word PUB here in Quebec (bar is OK as is Grill(e)). Worth checking out. Liked the suggestion for lamps and plants (all ours were stolen one summer between 4-6AM - replanted and stolen again!!!)
Really like the vibrant colours in the pix - never would have thought of any of those combinations. Do any of you think about using a sign like the Gus O'Connor Pub's at the top of the building (taking away the other sign)?
I might have neglected to mention that this bar is a neighbourhood bar catering to English and French so it's probably better to take on an "Irish-ish" feel.
More than I could have expected - THANKS! Any new takes greatly appreciated.
Just that I think that the subdued looking bars with the black-green paint and gold leaf are more representative of current culture there and more like the Irish-owned in "Irish" neighborhood bars here in North America.
An Droichead Beag is a bar that is promoting Gaelic identity and preservation of Gaelic culture, and in a high visibility way--it seems tourist oriented--and I believe all of this is very necessary where they tried to suppress the culture for over a century. And there is nothing wrong with the tourist trade either. But I would not go this far in the US, because it would be doubly out of place here. Particularly that far south, most Irish would not even know what the sign said, its like the Irish version of "Ye Olde Fifh and Chippes Shoppe" --there, necessary for cultural reasons, here, silly.
I'm sure you're right. However, an "Irish" bar in Quebec catering to the French and English will never be authentic, so I don't see anything wrong with having a bit of fun and playing up the colors to attract attention. (The OP seemed to like the bright hues!)
At any rate, it really is nearly 5:00 here, and I'm still craving that Guinness.
You mentioned you don't know if you can use the word "PUB"... well, how about "PUBLIC HOUSE" instead of Bar & Grill... afterall, that's what a "pub" is. Just a thought.
Here is a picture of a local pub in our American city. It's a great example of what you can do with an old building with a new bar and some paint. This pub is in a very Irish-American community, and we are very proud of our heritage. We may not understand Gaelic, but we understand our beer. :)
I'd favour a triquerta or Irish harp over the shamrock myself. Go with green, I'd prefer black accents I think, over red and green together. Include some antique looking lanterns on the exterior too. I like the Gus O'Connor side, that would work well I think.
I agree with teacats entirely about not using bar/grill use PUB. Tonnes of pubs in Mtl use the word pub, the word is found in French dictionaries. You can also get away with interior Irish (English or Gaelic) posters provided that they are strictly for decor and not advertising. Zoey - no way he could use "public house", it would never get by the language police. Pub should.
I haven't read all the posts, but I have a different question.
Are you sure you want to be an Irish Pub?
Unless you are really going authentic, which probably would be a waste of money, I think it can look very 80's/Cheers/Bennigans.
I like MCM vibe your place has now.,with a few tweaks in that direction. Go Mad Men, KWIM?

Venting experts - can you vent through the roof?
My friend bought a house that needs a lot of work before she moves in. She's not doing the whole kitchen, but the OTR microwave doesn't work, so she's going to put in a recirculating hood with a charcoal filter. When I looked askance at that, she said she doesn't cook much at all, mainly pasta or stir fried vegs (she's vegetarian). She had a gas line run so she could replace the electric radiant range with gas - not commercial, just a regular gas stove.(I suggested she might like induction, which no one had ever mentioned to her. If she doesn't cook much, why did she need a gas stove instead of the electric anyway?) Her GC assured her that it would be fine for the cooking she does. So first, will it be fine? With a recirculating hood, would she be better off with induction than gas, or does it not really matter?
Someday, she might be able to move the range to the outside wall and have a real hood, although the outside wall also has a lot of windows. But when I suggested that they could also take the vent up through the high, cathedralish ceiling - the kitchen is on the top floor - her GC said that you shouldn't do that because you should avoid making openings in the roof.
I thought I'd read on here about people venting straight up. So, is it OK to go through the roof or not?
First of all, a recirculating hood will be just as useless with an induction range as with any other kind. And secondly, her GC is either smoking something strange, or hasn't a clue about his business. Vents are cut in roofs all the time, in all types of climates. It's not rocket science, but it does require the basic knowledge of how to seal the hole to prevent leaks. In his biz, he should have that basic knowledge.
Thanks, cooknsews, that's what I thought.
She said this GC also talked her into track lighting because he said "you can't put recessed lights in slanted ceilings," and then the electrician told her about the recessed lights made for cathedral ceilings. (heck, even I've heard of those) So I do wonder if the GC knows his stuff. Clearly, he doesn't visit GW.
DH and I installed a vent in our upstairs bathroom, venting through the roof. Did it ourselves - no leaks. We have cold, snowy winters and stormy summers - no leaks.
My Mom's house was built in 1977, range hood vented though the roof. This is nothing new.
What does your friend's GC do, exactly?
I have a vaulted ceiling, and the only issue I can see with venting the range hood is enclosing the vent line so it looks halfway decent. I've see photos of them (standard range hood, with cabinets above) cased in with drywall, bricks, and wood. Again, not rocket surgery.
Yikes. We just remodeled. One of the big flaws in the old kitchen was a downdraft vent. I had it replaced it with a vent through the roof. It was a pretty minor change.
Thanks for responding, annkh and jxbrown. You all are confirming my fears about this guy's ability. Yikes indeed.
How sad is it that someone taking money as a GC knows less about the options for recessed lighting and hoods - and who knows what else - than a housewife who happens to read GW?
Ginny, we put our Kobe vent pipe through the brand new roof. I was nervous about doing this, but the roofer said it was no problem. We installed recessed lighting in our previous home which had cathedral ceilings in two rooms. Also not a problem. I'd fire this GC and hire someone knowledgeable.
"The ventitalion required will be less than gas because of the lack of waste heat."
While it is true that less heat is thrown into the kitchen with induction, it mostly depends on how and what you cook. If you like to sear meat or otherwise cook greasy foods on high heat, you will need every single max CFM you can afford, regardless of heat source.

text: A conch pearl is not technically a pearl at all, but a white or pink (sometimes brown or yellow), non-nacreous, product of the saltwater giant conch or queen conch shell. Classified as a calcareous concretion, conch pearls are rare and generally found as a byproduct of fishing for the queen conch, as a food source not a pearl source. Small in size and usually oval or drop shaped, matched pairs are extremely rare. They can be identified by their distinct pink or peachy pink color and flame-like pattern on the outer surface. Cultured Conch Pearls have been reported to exist since 2009[1]

Yankees place screen over stairs day after disputed A-Rod non-HR
NEW YORK -- A day after a blown home run call, the House that Ruth Built became the ballpark that A-Rod remodeled.
Yankee Stadium workers put up netting Thursday on a staircase just beyond the right-center field wall, the spot that confused the umpires, cost Alex Rodriguez a home run and intensified baseball's debate about instant replay.
"It'll make it a little easier out there," umpire crew chief Tim Welke said.
Nothing was easy for Welke's crew Wednesday night on a play that became the majors' third missed homer call in four days.
Rodriguez thought he'd hit his second home run of the game for the New York Yankees, yet wound up with a double when his rocket shot ricocheted off the side of that cement staircase and quickly bounced back into play. The staircase, painted yellow, is situated about 2-3 feet behind the fence.
Welke, working at second base, and the other umps huddled and ruled the ball had stayed in play.
"We couldn't see it," Welke said. "We just didn't know for sure."
An inning or two later, Johnny Damon was jogging to his spot in left field and gave Welke the bad news: Replays clearly showed the ball flying over the wall.
"I felt terrible," Welke said. "I mean, I think I know how hard it is to hit a home run in the major leagues. I had trouble sleeping after something like that."
Coincidentally, as Welke spoke outside the umpires' locker room before Thursday night's game between the Yankees and Baltimore, Rodriguez walked past on his way to the indoor batting cage. Headphones on, Rodriguez did not glance at Welke.
The play had no real effect on the outcome. Rodriguez eventually scored and the Yankees beat the Orioles 8-0.
Yankee Stadium is 85 years old, and this is the final season for the ballpark. Never too late for a little bit of renovating, though.
"I think it will help. They told me what they were doing and it made sense," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "If it happens again, hopefully the ball slows down and doesn't come flying back so fast."
On Sunday night, Carlos Delgado of the New York Mets lost a home run at Yankee Stadium when umpires reversed the original call and said his drive was foul. The ball actually glanced off the top of the left-field wall, hit the foul pole and fell into the seats.
On Monday night, Geovany Soto of the Cubs hit a ball at Houston that should've been called an automatic home run. Instead, umpires ruled it was in play and Soto ended up with an inside-the-park homer.
The next day, baseball executive Bob Watson was present as workers at Minute Maid Park removed a piece of wood in center field that was painted yellow and caused confusion.
"There's no need for that type of confusion at a big-league ballpark," Watson said.
On Thursday, baseball said one of its top officials will develop a proposal for instant replay that could be tested later this year in the Arizona Fall League.
Umpires would have to approve the use of replay in the majors.
"Anything that makes our job easier, I'm in favor of," Welke said. "That was embarrassing what happened last night, and I'm sorry. But sometimes you have to take one step backward to take two steps forward."

I'd love to be able to make a K-7 size starbase solo! Eliminate all the outlying facilities and just have all the interior upgrades available as well as just the interior upgrade projects available. No shipyard, maybe "innate" transwarp but only to the base with no outbound transwarp, no comm array, no industrial fabricator. Maybe a smaller selection of doffs (i.e. general doff guy, no specialists) and smaller selection of provisioned items (just phaser/disruptor/quantum/photon items but still have both Advanced and Elite).
Give it some passable but not uber firepower for fights, or not have that at all and just have it defended by a handful of NPC ships or something, led by a Typhoon class.
As you can see I'd be willing to give up quite a bit of variety for this ability.
Still would like to see freighter traffic and some PASSIVE INCOME GENERATED as a return on my investment. Without that, it's just another place to stand around and interact with vendors so you might as well just save your money and buy a Tuffli.
This is really a great idea, I'd even be ok with some hard caps on members (say, max 5 or 10) and maybe some upgrade project to pay to upgrade your facility to a regular 500-max fleet starbase - but not the other way around.

Tougher penalties now from chronic drunken drivers
Tougher penalties are now in effect for Wisconsin's most chronic drunken drivers. The Legislature agreed earlier this year to stop giving the same sentences to those convicted of five or more OWIs.
Starting last Wednesday, judges can sentence seventh, eighth and ninth-time offenders to five years in prison and five years of extended supervision.
Those convicted 10 times or more can get up to 7 and one-half years behind bars, with five years of supervision.

An oxide layer is thermally grown over a semiconductor body, and openings are etched in the oxide layer to expose portions of the surface of the semiconductor body. Then, epitaxial regions are grown from the semiconductor body into the openings in the oxide layer, which epitaxial regions will eventually become the active regions of devices.
1. A method of forming a semiconductor device, having at least one retrograde well, comprising:
providing a semiconductor body;
providing an oxide layer over the semiconductor body;
implanting ions of a chosen conductivity in a selected location through the oxide layer into the semiconductor body;
providing an opening through the oxide layer over the selected location to the semiconductor body; and
providing semiconductor material in the opening of the oxide layer, whereby the retrograde well is formed.
2. The method of claim 1 and further comprising the step of thermally growing the oxide layer on the semiconductor body.
3. The method of claim 1 and further comprising the step of growing an epitaxial layer in the opening of the oxide layer to provide semiconductor material therein.
4. The method of claim 3 and further comprising the step planarizing the resulting surface of the epitaxial layer and oxide layer.
5. A method of forming a semiconductor device, with at least one retrograde well, comprising:
providing a semiconductor body;
providing an oxide layer over the semiconductor body;
providing an opening through the oxide layer;
providing semiconductor material in the opening through the oxide layer; and
implanting ions of a chosen conductivity through the semiconductor material into the semiconductor body, for formation of the retrograde well.
6. The method of claim 5 and further comprising the step of growing an epitaxial layer in the opening of the oxide layer to provide semiconductor material therein.
7. The method of claim 6 and further comprising the step of planarizing the resulting surface of the epitaxial layer and oxide layer.
This invention relates to semiconductor technology, and more particularly, to a method for forming isolation regions in semiconductor devices.
A first prior art method for providing isolation of semiconductor devices is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown therein, after suitable masking, trenches 10 are etched into a silicon body 12. After removal of the masking, oxide 14 is deposited over the resulting structure into the trenches 10 (FIG. 1). Then, the oxide 14 is etched back to achieve a more planar structure, leaving oxide isolation regions 14A. However, because of the unevenness of the upper surface 16 of the deposited oxide 14 (FIG. 1), the top surfaces and side surfaces of silicon in the trenches becomes exposed to and are damaged by undesired contact with the etchant (FIG. 2).
To overcome this problem the following prior art method is described. As shown in FIG. 3, a silicon body 20 is provided, a thin layer 22 of oxide is thermally grown thereover to a thickness of for example 250Å, and a nitride layer 24 is deposited over the oxide layer 22, to a thickness of for example 1500Å. Then, after appropriate masking, a number of trenches 26, 28, 30 are etched through the nitride layer 24 and oxide layer 22, and into the silicon 20 to a chosen depth (FIG. 4). A thin layer of oxide 32, 34, 36 is then thermally grown in each respective trenches 26, 28, 30 to provide a high quality oxide adjacent the silicon 20, and then a layer of oxide 38 is deposited over the resulting structure, as shown in FIG. 4. It is necessary to grow the thin layer of oxide in each trench prior to the depositing of the oxide layer 38 because the depositing of oxide 38 directly on silicon 20 may lead to undesired charging of the deposited oxide 38, as the electrical characteristics of the deposited oxide 38 are not as good as those of thermal oxide.
It will be understood that the areas of silicon 40, 42, 44, 46 remaining between the trenches will eventually be device active areas.
During the growth of the thin oxide 32, 34, 36, small portions of oxide known as bird's beaks, as at 48, 50, are formed adjacent the top edges of each trench.
In a typical structure, it may well occur that some active areas are relatively close together while others are relatively far apart (see FIG. 4). Thus, when depositing the oxide layer 38 to eventually provide isolation oxide between active areas, while sufficient oxide may be deposited to fill in a trench between closely spaced regions, the deposited oxide 38 is spread out and thinned to a point where it may not completely fill the trench between the widely spaced active areas as at 44, 46. Then even after a mechanical chemical polishing step, a non-planar device may well result. To avoid this problem, a rather large amount of oxide 38' may need to be deposited to insure that a trench between widely spaced active areas is properly filled. This results in a highly nonplanar device as shown at FIG. 5.
In the past, in dealing with this problem, an etching step was undertaken using "reverse" photoresist masks 52, 54, 56 (FIG. 5) for blocking off those areas wherein it was undesirable to etch away material in an attempt to gain a generally more planar device. During a subsequent etching step, oxide is removed from the exposed areas of the oxide layer 38' areas, to achieve a more planar device (FIG. 6), so that further etching, after removal of the masks 52, 54, 56, leads to more a planar device prior to polishing (FIG. 7). This of course results in an additional mask and etch step which adds to manufacturing inefficiency.
Furthermore, upon removal of the nitride and oxide layers 22, 24 to reach what will be the active areas 40, 42, 44, 46 of the silicon 20, a portion of the oxide in each respective trench 26, 28, 30 remains so as to protrude above the rest of the structure (FIG. 8), again resulting in a non-planar device.
In accordance with the present invention, an oxide layer is thermally grown over a semiconductor body such as silicon, and openings are etched in the oxide layer to expose portions of the surface of the silicon. Then, epitaxial regions are grown from the silicon into the openings in the oxide layer, which epitaxial regions will eventually become the active areas of devices.
FIGS. 1-8 show prior art methods for planarizing semiconductor devices;
FIGS. 9-13 show the present method for forming a planar semiconductor devices; and
FIGS. 14 and 15 show alternative embodiments of the invention.
The present process is shown in FIGS. 9-13. As shown in FIG. 9, starting with a silicon substrate 100, a thick layer of oxide 102 is thermally grown thereon to a thickness of, for example, 3000-8000Å. Then, the oxide 102 is masked and etched to form openings 104, 106, 108, in the oxide 102 to expose portions of the silicon substrate 100. Epitaxial regions 110, 112, 114 are then grown at for example 1100�-1300� C. in the openings 104, 106, 108 now defined in the oxide layer 102 (FIG. 10), which epitaxial regions 110, 112, 114 will eventually become active areas.
As noted in FIG. 10, the epitaxial regions 110, 112, 114 as grown will extend slightly beyond the top surface 116 of the oxide layer 102, but to a substantially uniform extent. It will also be noted that it does not matter how far apart or how large the active areas 110, 112, 114 are, because the epitaxial growth rate is approximately the same over the substrate 100. Also, the present process has the advantage that epitaxial silicon, is in general of better quality than the silicon substrate material in the active areas of the prior art.
Then, a chemical mechanical polish is undertaken to planarize the resulting structure, as shown in FIG. 11, so that the resulting structure is now substantially totally flat, avoiding the bird's beak problem as set forth above and also avoiding the problem that in the prior art upon removal of thin oxide and nitride layers, the remaining oxide protrudes above the silicon surface.
The problem of damage as set forth in the first described prior art system above is avoided. Additionally, there is no need to deal with the reverse mask method described above, with the problems attendant thereto.
The present process has an additional significant additional advantage, i.e., prior to etching the openings 104, 106, and 108 an ion implant of whatever type chosen may be undertaken (after suitable masking 113) as shown at FIG. 12. Example of energies and dosages are as follows;
______________________________________ N Well P Well______________________________________ion Phosphorous Boronenergy 400-600 Kev 150-250 Kevdose 1 � 1012 -1 � 1013 1 � 1012 -1 � 1013______________________________________
Then after openings 104, 106, 108 are provided and during growth of the epitaxial regions 110, 112, 114 (FIG. 13), the implant is driven into the body 100 and also extends into the epitaxial region 114 during growth, to form well 120. While growing the epitaxial regions 110, 112, 114 the ions automatically form a retrograde well 120, i.e., the well 120 has a relatively heavy concentration of impurities near its bottom (in the silicon substrate 100) and a relatively light concentration near its top (in the epitaxial region 114). Such a well 120, as is well known, suppresses device latchup and reduces device capacitance with the heavier doping at the bottom helping on the device short channel punchthrough problem. Also the heavier dose at the sidewalls of the epitaxial region 114 helps present formation of parasitic transistors.
It will further be understood that this implant can be at a chosen energy level to provide a chosen well profile.
As an alternative (FIG. 14), the implant can be performed before the growth of the oxide layer 102 and after appropriate masking 113.
Both methods have advantages attendant thereto. For example, with the implant being performed after the growth of the oxide layer 102, there will be no diffusion of the implant due to the growth of the oxide layer 102. On the other hand, if the implant is done before the growth of oxide layer 102, lower implant energy can be used.
As a further alternative, the implant can be performed through the polished epitaxial region 114 subsequent to growth thereof and, for example, after polishing thereof (FIG. 15).
It will be further understood that through the above-cited process, a field implant mask as normally used can be avoided.
Since the oxide 102 is grown rather than deposited the resulting structure is provided with a high quality oxide isolation rather than the relatively lower quality of deposited oxide. Furthermore, several masking steps are avoided as compared to the prior art.

A papier-mâché unicorn head hangs in this tiny Italian haven on St. Helena's main drag. Random? Not really, when one considers how rare solid cooking and sane prices can be in this tony burg. The cozy space has two seating options: a marble counter up front and tables stretching from front to back (the front tables, lighter and airier, are preferable). The food is thoughtful and refined with a daily rotating risotto, house-stretched mozzarella and burrata, and glorious pastas like ricotta fazoletti married with a deeply flavored Bolognese. Grilled octopus salad with potatoes, olives, and tomato dressing is boosted by prime ingredients and careful seasoning. A strong red wine list tempts at dinner while bloody Mary's are all the rage for Sunday brunch.

Simple ...
... it's a false moral dilemma.
This is like when someone asks if you are a prisoner and a guard tells you to kill another prisoner or the guard will kill you, should you kill that (innocent) person? If you do, it is claimed to be immoral. If you don't it is claimed you don't care about your own survival, which is also immoral.
But it is a false dichotomy. Morality necessarily includes a FREE choice. Once force is entered into the picture, then it is no longer a question of morality. Kill the other prisoner or don't, it is not a MORAL question because it is not a FREE choice.
Same goes with supporting any government that is using force against you.
Starve the beast? Sure, do what you can and call it a day. But it is not a MORAL obligation (or even a moral issue) because force is being used against YOU.

SXSW Wed: The Decemberists, Jarvis Cocker, Human Highway, Fol Chen, Ladyhawke
By Amy Phillips on March 19, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
Photos by Amy Phillips; above: The Decemberists
Tom Breihan's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Ryan Dombal's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Amy Phillips' SXSW Report: Thu | Fri | Sat
Apparently we're in a recession? And the music industry is in its death throes? Walking the streets of downtown Austin Wednesday afternoon and night, you wouldn't know. SXSW seems perfectly healthy, teeming with as many colorful characters as ever. Interscope can still afford to slap ads for the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album on the back windows of taxi cabs, everybody and their mom is throwing a day party, and the SXSW goodie bags are overflowing with magazines/promo CDs/gum/condoms. So for the next few days at least, let's pretend the real world doesn't exist, OK?
Jarvis Cocker [Austin Convention Center; 3 p.m.]
There are few people on the planet better suited to whisking everyone away from reality than Jarvis Cocker. Even in the highly un-rock'n'roll confines of a cramped Convention Center conference room, where he delivered a lecture titled "Saying the Unsayable With Jarvis Cocker", the former Pulp frontman radiated star power. The SXSW website description of the talk said, "What is the function of lyrics in popular song? Jarvis Cocker addresses the issue with examples from other people's songs and his own." Insert almost any other songwriter's name where it says "Jarvis Cocker", and you've got the makings of a deathly dull couple hours. But Jarvis is a man who already stalks a stage like the sexiest college professor in history. Put a wooden pointer in his hand and give him a PowerPoint presentation and a bunch of YouTube clips, and you've got one hell of a party.
Sure, Jarvis didn't really teach anybody anything they didn't already know: Song lyrics are important, except when they aren't (see: "Louie Louie"). Some lyrics can be poetry (Leonard Cohen), some can't (Des'ree's "Life"). James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" is a terrible song, David Bowie's "'Heroes'" is a great song. And so on. But hearing these truths delivered with Cocker's conviction and dry wit was truly a treat. He even broke out an acoustic guitar, performing the first song he ever wrote (a charming goof called "Shakespeare Rock") and a breathtaking version of the Pulp classic "Babies".
It's going to be hard for any band at this year's SXSW to top that one.
Ladyhawke [Stubb's; 9 p.m.]
I wasn't expecting much from Ladyhawke's live show, and I got what I expected. The cover of her self-titled 2008 debut album depicts New Zealander Pip Brown playing video games in her underwear in her bedroom, surrounded by cats and musical equipment, and the best aspects of Ladyhawke's pitch-perfect 1980s radio synth-pop feel like intensely private moments. Brown doesn't seem to have embraced the cathartic aspect of airing her secrets on stage just yet, proceeding cautiously and unsmilingly through her 40-minute set. She loosened up a bit towards the end, closing with a limber version of "My Delirium". But the major sonic triumph of Ladyhawke's music-- its unabashed glossy new wave cheesiness-- just doesn't come through when played by a full rock band. Her songs aren't strong enough to thrive outside the confines of their native computers.
Fol Chen [Beauty Bar; 10 p.m.]
Like Ladyhawke, Los Angeles art school weirdos Fol Chen attempted to bring synthetic electro-pop to life in an organic live band setting, with mixed results. Their best song, the cheeky, blooping "Cable TV", groaned under the weight of the imperfect sound, and the band's cult-like outfits and raccoon/Hamburgler eye makeup came across as a bit too cutesy-poo. But Fol Chen's energy was often undeniable, as was their rhythmic sense. At one point, they asked the crowd, "Do you want to hear a song we wrote about sea slugs, or do you want to hear us cover Mariah Carey?" Well, duh. An enthusiastic, falsetto-laden version of "Emotions" followed.
Side note: The Asthmatic Kitty/K/Tomlab showcase was sponsored by YouTube, which got me thinking: Wouldn't it be awesome if there was an official YouTube showcase featuring, like, Tay Zonday, Nora the Piano Cat, and the "Thriller" prison dancers?
Human Highway [Red Eyed Fly; 11 p.m.]
A cool night breeze wafted through the Red Eyed Fly's indoor/outdoor patio as Human Highway played-- a cheesy yet apt metaphor for their music. The collaboration between Nick Thorburn (Islands, ex-Unicorns) and singer/songwriter Jim Guthrie travels in comfy, laid-back folk pop, so a set in a crowded rawk bar at the height of SXSW madness probably isn't the ideal setting for them. Perhaps a beach, or a back porch on a lazy summer afternoon would be? I enjoy Human Highway's pleasant debut album Moody Motorcycle, but they're just too chill to make an engaging live band. Plus, the dissonance between Thorburn's slick, fashionable asymmetrical haircut/leather jacket/tight pants getup and Guthrie's baggy, disheveled, unshaven look was kinda jarring-- especially when you factor in a bassist in embarrassingly short denim cutoffs.
The Decemberists [Stubb's; 12 a.m.]
The first few times I listened to the new Decemberists album The Hazards of Love, I dismissed it as The Crane Wife 2: Even Cranier. Same flights of prog-folk fancy intercut with headbanging, only less engaging. But Colin Meloy's latest sprawling rock opera grew on me, the raw emotion cutting through the frilly window-dressing and the metal (yes, metal) parts feeling more and more assured. The album's few repeating musical themes lodged in my brainstem and refused to leave, and I realized: shit, this band has pulled it off yet again. The Hazards of Love's narrative concerns a pair of doomed lovers cavorting in the woods and the troubles they run into with a forest queen and a very bad man, but there really is no need to bother with all that nonsense if you don't want to. When Meloy howls, "I wager all on the hazards of love" or about how "the wanting comes in waves," it's powerful enough to overwhelm the context.
At the NPR showcase last night, the Decemberists played The Hazards of Love in its entirety, for the first time ever. Though the set (and the album) was a bit too long and dragged in parts ("Isn't It a Lovely Night?" just plain sucks, "The Rake's Song" drowned in too much percussion), overall it was a triumph. Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark and My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden augmented the band's usual five-person lineup, playing percussion, glockenspiel, and guitar in the background before taking to the front of the stage for their respective vocal cameos. Stark has a sweet, lovely voice, but in her own work she often sounds too precious and dippie-- something her penchant for flowing dresses, flowery hair garlands, and doe-eyed staring doesn't help. But when she's cutting loose over the hard rock crunch of Hazards of Love songs like "Won't Want for Love (Margaret in the Taiga)", Stark is truly in her element as a hippie goddess.
But Shara Worden-- holy shit. Girlfriend can WAIL. I am not a fan of her My Brightest Diamond work; it's too hoity-toity for my tastes. But in her role as the Forest Queen, she's Grace Slick on Surrealistic Pillow, she's Tina Turner as the Acid Queen. The Decemberists' set was very polite (though rocking) until she stepped to the mic and all hell broke loose from her off-the-shoulder slinky black dress and silver tights. With glam moves and true rock star swagger, Worden earned the enthusiastic applause that greeted the ending of her barnstorming solo on "The Wanting Comes in Waves / Repaid". I felt bad for Becky Stark, having to follow that maelstrom with her sweet summer breeze.
At the end of the set, after completing the album, a relieved and chatty Meloy returned to the stage with only an acoustic guitar (and drummer John Moen's backing vocals) for a version of the Always a Bridesmaid single "Raincoat Song". The night ended with Her Majesty's "I Was Meant for the Stage", which culminated in a full-band freakout/collapse. Well earned, ladies and gentlemen.
Also: Colin Meloy's bushy mutton chops? Totally badass.
Human Highway Hit the, Um, Highway
By Tom Breihan on January 7, 2009 at 8:00 a.m. EST
Human Highway, the latest in a string of one billion Islands-related projects, will be going on a road trip this March, playing a bunch of dates with former Page France frontman and Suicide Squeeze labelmate Cotton Jones. HH is a collaboration between Islands frontman Nick Thorburn and former Islands member Jim Guthrie, which you'd think would be awkward. The band is named after a Neil Young song and, talking to Pitchfork last summer, Thorburn described their album Moody Motorcycle as "a great record to smoke opium to," so probably don't expect Busdriver to jump onstage and start rapping at any of these shows. Here's what Human Highway's March looks like:
03-13 Toronto, Ontario - The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern
03-14 Chicago, IL - Empty Bottle *
03-15 Kansas City, MO - The Record Bar *

The despicable stereotype I am familiar with is "hooked" nose but your comments make it clear that I should not have used this too-similar phrase. I won't again. Thanks for the feedback.
- Walmart Slashes Fees For Money Transfers
by Thom Forbes (Marketing Daily - Top of the News on
I apologize that you saw the reference as anti-Semitic, Mr. Smith. It certainly was not intended to be. It was a reference to lower-income Americans having to rely on loan sharks whose enforcers — low-level gangsters — tend to have broken noses from their activities. Maybe I read too many Hardy Boy books in my youth or was too enamored of the legend of "Wild Bill" Hickok, who was shot and killed by "Crooked Nose Jack" McCall.

- The Case Of Rabbi Dropped For Frequent Complaining
by Thom Forbes (Marketing Daily - Top of the News on
Could be, Stan. I know I had "rabbi" on my mind this morning. I'd just read an email from a cousin that contained a sketch for a new gravestone for our great, great grandfather, a rabbi whose original stone in the Hebrew Rest Cemetery in New Orleans was badly damaged by Katrina. In any event, there are several interesting issues here, which is the reason I chose this story over, say, the uptick in auto sales last month. One is how the Supreme Court decides and the possible repercussions on airline pricing. Then there's the more far-reaching concept of which customers marketers should be focusing their attention on (within the law, of course) as you and Daniel suggest. All this against the backdrop of what Paula identifies as an increasingly concentrated industry (see AA and US Airways last week) in which the consumer has fewer choices. So, gaffe aside, at least we've got that conversation going ...

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
What's that so-called "Soft Hyphen" in slot 173 of the Windows codepage? It's 00AD in Unicode. It shows up in the MyFonts tables, as well as the Windows CharacterMap, but it behaves very funny in Word and WordPad, whether I enter it using the Alt-zero method or I do a copy-paste from the CharacterMap. Is it supposed to appear/disappear like that? And sometimes turn into two hyphens?! Where's the "hard" hyphen? The regular one breaks too. Is there one that doesn't?
A "soft hyphen" should indicate a place where a word would be hyphenated if and only if it crosses a line break, and be invisible otherwise. How well it is or isn't implemented in a given program is the murky part.
That makes sense - it does only appear when it's end-of-line. I guess the point is to manually guide the hyphenation routine. The only little mystery is why Word sometimes subs two hyphens for it...
And why is it missing from the MacRoman codepage? Doesn't Quark and stuff have bunches of different spaces and hyphens for textflow customization?

Printing In 3D
justme4nowJuly 13, 2011
I don't know if or how many of you are up on this new printing technology but as for myself .. "I have Never seen anything like this except maybe on Star-trek"!
They actually 'print' out a 3D adjustable wrench in this video that the guy then uses to tighten bolts with! 8)
This is some truly amazing stuff!
Ha ha, they might make the teeth but you might have to sell your home. Probably costly at the outset. Pretty incredible though
ravencajun Zone 8b TX
to make your teeth though they would need some to scan LOL
oh it is true it all has to do with the scanner they use it is a 3D scanner so it can detect the differences in the gears and and levels of the item.
Some of those other videos are really mind blowing.
to make your teeth though they would need some to scan LOL
so not sure that would work.
