This is a continuation of patent application Ser. No. 07/726,797, filed on Jul. 8, 1991, which was abandoned upon the filing hereof which is a divisional of Ser. No. 07/576,506, filed on Oct. 2, 1990 now abandoned.
This invention relates to the formation of high quality single crystal or near single crystal epitaxial barrier layers and, in particular, to the formation of such layers either as a preliminary to, or at an intermediate stage of, the fabrication of multilayer thin film structures for application in solid state devices or circuits. Such layers formed epitaxially on a single crystal substrate may act either as a chemical barrier to prevent the migration of impurities or as an electrical barrier to control or eliminate the passage of electric current.
Thin film devices and microelectronic circuits are frequently formed by growing perfect single crystal or near single crystal layers on substrate wafers that are themselves single crystal. The films are said to be epitaxial when their crystal orientation is determined during growth by matching to the lattice periodicity of the substrate. Furthermore when a multilayer thin film is formed epitaxy may sometimes be maintained by matching each layer to some lattice periodicity in the preceding layer. High quality epitaxial layers are required either for their electrical or magnetic properties or alternatively as insulating or dielectric layers or as barrier layers to prevent chemical interdiffusion and degradation of layers by separating them physically.
Sometimes the application envisaged does not require single crystal epitaxy as far as the actual performance of a particular layer itself is concerned. However, epitaxy may still be necessary so as to transfer epitaxial growth to a layer to be subsequently deposited which does require epitaxy for it to function correctly in the application envisaged.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a method of manufacture of solid state devices comprising the formation of an epitaxial layer of magnesia by sputtering of material from a magnesium-containing target on to an alumina-containing substrate and the subsequent formation of an epitaxial layer of a compound including yttrium, barium, copper and oxygen on said layer of magnesia.
There is also provided a solid state device comprising a first epitaxial layer of a material selected from the class including superconductors and semiconductors formed on a second epitaxial layer including a metallic oxide on a crystalline substrate.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a method to form an epitaxial barrier layer of magnesia (MgO) on a substrate wafer of sapphire (Al2 O3).
Another embodiment of the invention provides a method of introducing very thin layers of epitaxial magnesia between two layers of high temperature ceramic superconductor having structures related to the perovskite structure.
The invention also contemplates a method of introducing single monolayers of magnesium atoms within a thin film single crystal of high temperature ceramic superconductor with a structure related to the perovskite structure.
In a specific embodiment a single crystal sapphire substrate was coated with an epitaxial barrier layer of magnesia (MgO) by vapour deposition onto the heated substrate. The preferred temperature for the substrate during deposition is 750�-900� C., although it may be as low as 540� C. The crystallographic orientation of the MgO barrier layer depends on the crystallographic orientation of the plane of the Al2 O3 substrate wafer. In particular MgO can be formed with a (100) plane matching epitaxially to r-plane (1012) sapphire, or with a (110) plane matching epitaxially to m-plane (0110) sapphire, or with a (111) plane matching epitaxially to a-plane (1120) or c-plane (0001) sapphire
Although this invention has general application in thin film device technology one particular application of importance is in superconducting device technology based on high temperature ceramic superconductors having structures related to the perovskite structure.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention an MgO layer is formed by DC magnetron sputter deposition from a magnesium metal target in a sputtering gas composed of 40% oxygen in argon at a pressure of 1-2 pascals. The preferred deposition rate is 0.05 nanometers per second.
In a second embodiment of the invention an MgO layer is formed by RF sputter deposition from a magnesium metal target or from an MgO oxide target.
In a third embodiment of the invention an MgO layer is deposited by ion beam sputtering from a magnesium metal target or from an MgO oxide target.
In a fourth embodiment of the invention an MgO layer is deposited by laser evaporation from an MgO target.
In a fifth embodiment of the invention an MgO layer is deposited by thermal evaporation or molecular beam evaporation (MBE) of magnesium metal in an oxidising atmosphere.
In a sixth embodiment of the invention an MgO layer is deposited by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) from suitable chemical precursors.
The MgO epitaxial layer may form a substrate for a further layer of deposited material that derives its epitaxy from the MgO layer. In particular this layer may be an epitaxial layer of high temperature ceramic superconductor with a structure related to the perovskite structure. The barrier layer prevents interdiffusion of aluminium into the superconductor and consequent degradation of superconducting properties.
The invention allows an epitaxial barrier layer or layers to be provided which separate epitaxial layers of high temperature ceramic superconducting material, with structures related to the perovskite structure.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the barrier layer consists of a single monolayer of magnesium incorporated epitaxially into the perovskite lattice on oxygen vacancies in the structure or on other suitable crystallographic sites in the lattice. The necessary overall properties may be achieved by inserting an appropriate number of monolayer barriers closely spaced in the epitaxial structure. The monolayer barriers shall be on planes parallel to the (001) plane of the perovskite structure.
In a second embodiment of the invention the barrier layer may be an epitaxial layer of MgO deposited on a base electrode of high temperature superconducting ceramic with a structure related to the perovskite structure. When an appropriate thickness of MgO has been deposited an epitaxial counter electrode ceramic superconductor can be deposited.
The invention will now be desired by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a cross-section of a multilayer film on a sapphire substrate.
FIGS. 2-6 show the variation of deposited film compositions as various parameters are varied; and
FIGS. 7a and 7b are x-ray diffraction patterns showing epitaxial relationships of MgO films on sapphire substrates
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, a sapphire wafer 10 is 0.6 mm thick with r-plane (1012) orientation. A buffer layer (11) of magnesia 100 nanometers thick is deposited epitaxially. The single crystal magnesia layer forms a substrate for an epitaxial layer (12) of Y1 Ba2 Cu3 O7 of thickness 200 nanometers orientated with the (001) plane parallel to the substrate. Two single monolayers of magnesium (13) are deposited separated by 0.8 nm. Finally a counterelectrode 14 of (001) orientation Y1 Ba2 Cu3 O7 is deposited to a thickness of 200 nanometers.
Although the illustration relates to a superconducting device, the invention is not limited to this and other applications involving epitaxial barrier layers of MgO on sapphire are envisaged.
For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, there are two monolayers of magnesium separated by 0.8 nm. However, it is possible to tailor the precise structure to the requirements of device fabrication. By using a separate source for magnesium and injecting a flux of magnesium as the superconductor is being deposited, sufficient magnesium to form a monolayer of MgO is deposited. It is not even necessary to stop the deposition of superconductor while this takes place. The superconductor deposition is allowed to continue, to deposit one unit cell, or so, and then more magnesium is injected. The objective is to depress the superconductive properties over a barrier region.
With superconductive devices the objective is to have a base electrode of superconductor and then a non-superconducting, preferably insulating, barrier followed by another superconducting layer all being epitaxially structured with relation to one another. It is not possible to structure the thickness of a layer of magnesia optimally, but, by using a sequence of magnesium monolayers separated by a controlled thickness of superconductor, desired properties may be achieved.
Other materials may be used for the barrier layer. In particular, the use of zirconia or strontium titanate is possible.
We have formed films in an ultra-high vacuum dc magnetron sputter deposition system using the method described by R. E. Somekh and Z. H. Barber "UHV sputter deposition with a research scale dc magnetron" J. Physics E 21. This is usable for both pure metal composite targets and sintered ceramic targets.
A metal target, measuring 35 mm by 55 mm, consisted of a surround of copper with yttrium and barium at the two ends of the racetrack in proportions roughly 1:2 divided by a 3-5 mm strip of copper. It was operated at a target-substrate distance of 70 mm and a sputtering pressure of 2-3 Pa. Oxygen was injected into the system close to the substrates using a showerhead arrangement to reduce oxidation of the target.
In a second embodiment, a ceramic target was used. To minimise the composition variation between target and film caused by sputtering due to negative oxygen ions, an operating pressure in the region 15 to 40 Pa was chosen, with a target distance of 20-30 mm. The composition of the ceramic target was adjusted to give the correct film composition at this high sputtering pressure. Several iterations were required, with tiles of composition (1:2:3); (1:3.3:4.2); (1:2.5:4.8); and finally (1:3.9:6.1) being fabricated. The targets were made by carefully calcining a well mixed powder of BaCO3, Y2 O3 and CuO at 890� C. for 72 hours then hydrostatically compacting the reground powder at a pressure of 16 MPa to form three tiles. After compaction these were fired at 900� C. for 36-56 hours. To prevent the tiles cracking due to differential heating during sputtering, the operating power was reduced to 16 W.
The substrates were placed on a platinum strip heater, the substrate of which was measured with an optical pyrometer. As the substrates were well coated, their temperature could also be measured directly with only small interference of the transmitted radiation from the heater beneath. Measurements indicated that the substrates were cooler than the heater by about 160�-200� C. with the heater at 900� C. Following deposition, the YBaCuO films were heat treated in situ, cooling from 600� C. to 350� C. over a period of an hour in 100 mbar of oxygen.
The sputtering parameters of pressure, temperature and oxygen concentration were measured using energy-dispersive x-ray analysis with a flat piece of sintered YBa2 Cu3 O7 made up from high purity powders as internal standard.
MgO was deposited on to sapphire substrates at a temperature of 850�-900� C. from a pure magnesium target in an argon/15% oxygen mixture. The target ran in oxide mode and there was some interaction between the oxidation level of the metal and the radiation from the heater and power loading of the magnetron. It was found that the target oxidation was accelerated if the power loading was too large, and hence a power level of only 25 W was used to give consistent deposition.
The effect of varying the oxygen concentration in the sputtering gas with a metal target is shown in FIG. 2. This indicates the necessity of oxygen for the `sticking` of barium at elevated temperatures, where the native barium has a tendency to reevaporate unless it is incorporated into the structure.
The effects of changing deposition parameters on film composition are shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. These illustrate the degree of preferential resputtering occurring in this system and indicate the required degree of control for a specified tolerance in film composition. At low pressures resputtering due to energetic oxygen anions is enhanced, with copper and barium being preferentially removed. At high temperatures, the copper shows a tendency to reevaporate.
When operating the system at such small working distances, it was found that there was some compositional variation along the heater, as shown in FIG. 6. This effect could be reduced by altering the compositions of the end tiles.
The major effect of this work has been aimed at making the YBaCuO directly on to an epitaxial MgO film on Al2 O3. In an original embodiment the MgO was deposited on to sapphire substrates which were transferred to another system in which the YBaCuO was deposited, but a later embodiment has combined the two deposition steps so that the YBaCuO could be deposited directly without breaking the vacuum.
We have deposited MgO epitaxially on to four different orientations of sapphire. (111) MgO grew on both a-plane (1120) and c-plane (0001), whilst (110) MgO grew on m-plane (1010) and (100) MgO grew on r-plane sapphire. FIGS. 7a and 7b show x-ray diffraction patterns from a vertical diffractometer. These illustrate there is a mosaic spread of �0.2% for both epitaxial lines. In addition, the (111) MgO peak was present in both traces, with an intensity of between 0.5% and 1% of the epitaxial lines. Although this represents less than perfect epitaxy, improvements can be achieved with further optimisation of the deposition conditions.
Although most of our x-ray analysis has been performed with a vertical diffractometer which necessitated the tilting of the sample with respect to the incident beam to maximise the peak intensity, we have recently decoupled Θ and 2Θ using a two-circle diffractometer. This has shown that the (110) MgO pole is inclined by about 0.8� from the m-plane substrate and the (100) MgO pole is inclined by about 5.5� (�0.5�) from the r-plane, on the zone linking (1012) and (0001). This indicates a systematic correlation between the MgO and sapphire lattices, although there is a discrepancy of between 3� and 5� with this alignment.
As an illustration of the effect of the barrier layer on Tc ; a film on an epitaxial MgO layer on sapphire had a zero resistance temperature of 50� K. whilst a film deposited on sapphire directly had a broader transition down to 10� K. A film deposited on to YSZ showed a zero resistance temperature of 75� K. When the thickness of MgO was varied from 80 to 320 nm, it was found that the YBaCuO films deposited on to the thicker MgO could be heated in flowing oxygen at 850� C. for more than an hour without any degradation in their resistivities.
We have found that ideally, to achieve 0.1% compositional accuracy when growing thin films of YBa2 Cu3 O7 on to hot substrates, the temperature should be controlled to �2.5� C., the sputtering pressure to �0.5% and the oxygen concentration to within 1%.
For the fabrication of electronic devices such as planar tunnel junctions from epitaxial YBaCuO films, the (110) face is to be preferred, as all atomic sites are exposed at one time, rather than needing many growth ledges to accommodate atoms as they arrive. Furthermore, the tendency to form an extra CuO plane stacking fault and the Y2 Ba4 Cu8 Ox phase is obviated.
By nucleating the correct epitaxy relationship at high temperature, the deposition temperature could be reduced, whilst still preserving the preferred growth orientation.
In a further embodiment of the method, we have replaced oxygen with nitrous oxide in the sputtering process because its lower activation energy increases the density of activated species.
Shapes other than a flat substrate may be used as a basis for the deposition. For example, ribbons are one possibility.

Two fixtures, one source
macminn18July 3, 2011
I would like to wire two fixtures from one power source. That part should be easy. Here's the wrinkle, at least to my thinking.
The power comes into one fixture, then on to the two switches, then out to the second fixture.
I have a two wire power source, then a 3 wire to the switches.
You are correct that you'll need 3-wire cable to wire the circuit as you describe. You left out the part that you'll need 2-wire cable from the second switch to the second light fixture. I'm assuming that the two switches are in the same box. If not, you'll need 2-wire cable to go between the switches as well.

Date — 30 May, 2012
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing took a battering by tropical storms before opening up an unassailable lead in Leg 7.
Azzam has put in a determined display to lead the Volvo Ocean Race Leg 7 to Lisbon
Atlantic Ocean, 28 May 2012: A resurgent Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing – the Abu Dhabi-backed entry in the nine-month Volvo Ocean Race – has powered to the 3,590 nautical mile trans-Atlantic Leg 7 lead, after a number of deft tactical decisions saw the team outmanoeuvre the five-strong chasing pack.
Having set off in style from Miami, USA last weekend, the fleet sailed straight into the Gulf Stream and a tropical depression, before being forced to head north to dodge a high pressure system blocking the direct path towards Lisbon. In a leg of two distinct halves, it was Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing which attained maximum gain.
Speaking from onboard the team's Volvo Open 70 race yacht, Azzam, which means determination in Arabic, skipper Ian Walker said their more than 85 nautical mile lead was down to smart thinking by navigator Jules Salter who picked the perfect path through shifting breezes and swirling Atlantic currents to a low pressure system that packs the power to catapult them to within a couple of hundred miles of the finish.
"It's been a great sailing for Azzam. A big dilemma between sailing for the predicted right hand shift and going left to get in the Gulf Stream created a big split in the fleet and lots of opportunity. This is exactly what we need as we can get away from the other boats and try to find something tactically. Jules did a nice job as we initially tried to play the current but on finding it wasn't as forecasted we decided to take the shift instead," said Walker, who led the team to its third In-Port Race win last week in Miami, sending Azzam to joint first in the overall in-port standings.
Currently halfway through the leg to Lisbon, Portugal, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing has encountered the full spectrum of weather so far, from tropical storms in the opening stages to yacht-halting wind holes, which the team has just navigated through.
"We have just escaped from the fickle winds of the high pressure area and we are once again making good progress east north east along our planned route. It has been a strange 24 hours. It was a period where we thought we stood to make reasonable mileage gains on our opponents but were held frustratingly pinned by light winds as the high pressure centre moved further east and therefore closer to us than envisaged. The wind kept building and offering promise before dying away as fast as it had arrived. At times we were becalmed and going backwards in the current. We cannot be greedy as the important thing is that we have negotiated a very tricky part of the race course and we are still leading. It has been another stellar night's sailing with clear skies and a moon that grows more prominent every night. It is chilly enough for thermals and hats but not for gloves just yet. Ahead of us now lies a lot of running in medium winds which means the mileage to Lisbon should once again start to tick down fast," added Walker.
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing's watch-leader, and Volvo Ocean Race winner, Rob Greenhalgh, said the team was cautiously optimistic and that the final run in will be critical.
"There is a lot of runway ahead of us still, so it's vital that we continue to sail smart, not just fast, and remember what's waiting for us just off Portugal. The next four days should be a good test for all of us both mentally and physically. We're just happy to be upfront mixing things up a bit. North Atlantic weather systems are never easy, and this particular crossing is proving just how many elements are at work out here," said the 2005/06 race winner.
The six-strong fleet is expected in Lisbon on May 31st 2012, where it will break for 10 days before heading on to L'Orient, France then to the finish in Galway, Ireland in early July.

XMPP Features
Conversations works with every XMPP server out there. However XMPP is an extensible protocol. These extensions are standardized as well in so called XEP's. Conversations supports a couple of those to make the overall user experience better. There is a chance that your current XMPP server does not support these extensions. Therefore to get the most out of Conversations you should consider either switching to an
XMPP server that does or - even better - run your own XMPP server for you and your friends.
These XEPs are - as of now:
* XEP-0065: SOCKS5 Bytestreams - or rather mod_proxy65. Will be used to tranfer files if both parties are behind a firewall (NAT).
* XEP-0138: Stream Compression saves bandwith
* XEP-0198: Stream Management allows XMPP to survive small network outages and changes of the underlying TCP connection.
* XEP-0280: Message Carbons which automatically syncs the messages you send to your desktop client and thus allows you to switch seamlessly from your mobile client to your desktop client and back within one conversation.
* XEP-0237: Roster Versioning mainly to save bandwidth on poor mobile connections
• ALWAYS FREE: No annual subscription fee. Absolutely free for life.
• FREE VOICE & VIDEO CALLS: High-quality free calls to anywhere in the world.
• GROUP CHAT: Create group chats with up to 100 people.
• MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING: Send video, image, text, and voice messages.
• STICKER GALLERY: Hundreds of free, fun, animated stickers to express your feelings from some of your favorite cartoons and movies.
• MOMENTS: Share your best moments on your personal photo stream.
• BETTER PRIVACY: WeChat gives you the highest level of control over your privacy. It's the only messaging app to be certified by TRUSTe.
• MEET NEW FRIENDS: Use "Friend Radar", "People Nearby" and "Shake" to meet others.
• ADDICTIVE GAMES: Compete with your friends on some of the hottest games.
• REALTIME LOCATION: Instead of having to tell others where you are, just use real-time location sharing.
• LANGUAGE SUPPORT: Localized in 20 different languages and can translate messages to any language.

It's amazing that at the same time, six months can feel like its passed in the blink of an eye and yet also feel like its lasted a lifetime. I can't quite believe that you're already six months old but I also struggle to remember what life was like before you were in our lives (and in our bed). I've already talked about your first three months here but boy have you changed!
At about the four month mark you decided that actually, the car wasn't so bad after all and hey it's quite good for napping – I cannot express how amazingly GRATEFUL I am for this. The screaming was driving me bonkers and made me want to sell you on eBay. You have also developed the wonderful ability to sleep somewhere which doesn't involve being on me in some way, shape or form (fist pump!). The four month mark was actually quite eventful as you added rolling over and sprouting two teeth to your list of accomplishments.
You breastfeed like a pro now although those little teeth keep me on my toes. Around five months you finally started gaining some serious weight and people stopped commenting on how 'tiny' you were – you're a respectable 8kg now and off the chart tall at 71cm. We've also started baby led weaning which is amazing and basically means you just eat whatever we eat, no spoon feeding, no purees and you LOVE it.
You have these amazingly big eyes which means we get lots of comments about how 'alert' you are but also leaves you with a look of permanent surprise on your face. Then you smile and your eyes turn into little crescent moons over your chubby cheeks – it. is. adorable. Combine that with your completely infectious laugh and I might just keep having babies forever! (But not really. Because that would be insane.)
You absolutely adore your siblings – you find them hilarious and endlessly entertaining and they are as equally infatuated with you. They love to hold you and play with you and I doubt you will ever be short of somebody to lavish attention on you You also have your daddy quite firmly wrapped around that little finger of yours, he is completely smitten. All in all, we're pretty psyched to have you in our family.
Happy 6 months little one x

Anyone else find it a little awkward trying to write about themselves? I guess I'll start with the basics: I just moved to Savannah in May for a job and have been enjoying getting to know the city. I'm still learning my way around though and haven't done nearly as much exploring as I would like. Currently taking applications for a tour guide. Some things I've really enjoyed about Savannah so far: Being 10 minutes from the beach, downtown Savannah, Sand Gnats games (even though I've only been to one so far), the city squares and great restaurants. A little about me: I'm originally from VA but went to South Carolina for school and lived in Charlotte for four years. I used to be teacher and loved every minute. Recently I made a career change though and became a Genetic Counselor, feel free to ask what that is, I didn't even know it existed until a few years ago :) I love to watch football in the fall, college or Pro, and would much prefer going to games but will settle for watching them on t.v. I'm very close with my family back in VA and miss my friends from Charlotte dearly. I love movies of all kinds, a good pun or corny joke and will sing karaoke, although I might need a drink or two first ;) Let's have coffee?

Posted September 27, 2013
In Rocky Mountain Farmers Union v. Corey, et al., No. 12-15135 (9th Cir. Sept. 18, 2013), a three judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld California's low carbon fuel standard (LCFS). The Court reversed a District Court ruling which held that California's LCFS violated the dormant Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The opinion is available here.
The Court stated: "For dormant Commerce Clause purposes, economic protectionism, or discrimination, "simply means different treatment of in-state and out-of-state economic interests that benefits the former and burdens the latter… Absent discrimination, we will uphold the law 'unless the burden imposed on [interstate] commerce is clearly excessive in relation to the putative local benefits.'" Pike v. Bruce Church, Inc. 397 U.S. at 137 (1970).
The Court remanded the case for trial to consider whether the regulations "placed an undue burden on interstate commerce" applying the Pike balancing test.
In holding that California's LCFS mandate did not violate the U.S. Constitution, the Ninth Circuit also removed an injunction that had stopped the implementation of the law, according to an ABC News article available here. The LCFS is a "key piece" of California's "landmark global warming law," AB 32, and aims to cut the state's dependence on petroleum by 20 percent by 2020.
The LCFS "calculates the life cycle of fuels from their extraction – or cultivation, in the case of biofuels such as corn based ethanol – to their combustion," according to an LA Times article available here.
This decision allows the California Air Resources Board to begin implementing the law. Air Resources Board spokesman Dave Clergern said the decision was "a very good step for Californians and the fight against climate change."
Tim O'Connor of the Environmental Defense Fund said, "The court clearly upheld a groundbreaking policy that will protect consumers and the environment by diversifying our fuel mix and providing more choices for a clean energy future."
Charles T. Drevna, president of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, said the law's "broad reach and intended scope means that implementing the [fuel standards] will have adverse consequences throughout the nation's fuel refining facilities and supply chain far beyond California's boarders."

The Voice isn't what you'd call my favorite show on the planet, but anything that can condense the bloated Biggest Loser into one hour is OK by me. Viva La Voice! Anyway, not that this show asked, but I am on some crazy diet today, which should make me feel proud, but instead makes me feel hungry. All the Extra gum in the world isn't going to help, I've got a feeling.
The contestants are all totally naturally just taking a stroll outside when a horse and buggy that looks like it belongs in front of Cinderella's castle shows up with Tim Gunn inside of it. Olivia and Hannah are particularly excited to meet their fairy godfather, who has come to bestow them with the gift of good hair and nice clothing taste. Olivia has Tim Gunn in her top five list of people who she'd like to meet in her life (understandably, some might say), so her head looks like it is about to explode. If so, does that count as a weight loss? Eight pounds, right?
Mr. Gunn actually introduces himself as a fairy godfather, and here I was worried that someone might take offense to that fabulous title when I mentioned it previously. He's doing makeover week with a twist. He's got three gifts for the skinnyfied folks. The first is changing their looks, and the second and third are secrets... because that how this show rolls.
Jay tries to pretend that he knows what Tim Gunn does and/or who he is. They go in a fancy room that has tuxes and fancy ball gowns. This room is supposed to be inspirational for them, to give them ideas for shapes and colors. Olivia says that she never imagined feeling beautiful or wearing clothes that aren't from the plus-sized rack. She reminds us, again, that she's an opera singer and she can now wear regular costumes. Tim looks like he's on the verge of tears. He's really moved by this whole experience. God, I just love this man. OH, and then he pulls out a wand and poofs them away. I'm bursting with love for him. Can he host this instead of Sami?
The ladies and gents show up at Ken Paves' salon, start chewing Extra gum, and getting inches chopped off their hair. Austin looks confused by the entire process. We don't get to see the hair results, but Hannah seems taken aback when she sees her hair.
We don't have to wait long (hooray for one-hour episodes!) to see why she was so surprised. She arrives via horse and buggy wearing a mermaid-style dress in pale green, with opera gloves and blonde hair with bangs. Tim makes her spin around. She looks fantastic, and nearly unrecognizable. Good for her for embracing the transformation instead of breaking down about having any of her precious locks touched, like the ladies on Top Model. Tim says gift two is her family, like anyone who has ever seen this show before didn't see that coming. Still, she freaks out when she sees her dad, and naturally her dad starts bawling the second he sees her. He's really proud, and worried about fending off potential suitors with a gun. Love him, too. I'm just full of love tonight for some reason. Perhaps it is the lack of food.

NHL Game Night: 3-5-15 Maple Leafs at LightningSubmitted by pete on March 5, 2015 - 22:25
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 27 shots for the victory.
First Period
4:25 TB Kucherov (24), (Palat, Johnson)
15:17 TB Callahan (21), (Stamkos)
Second Period
6:48 TOR Booth (2), (Holland)
Third Period
6:31 TB Namestnikov (4), (Sustr, Hedman)
15:14 TB Killorn (13), (Stamkos, Garrison)(PP)
17:42 TOR Panik (10), (Phaneuf, Kadri)
Ryan Callahan, Steven Stamkos, and Vladislav Namestnikov were the game's three stars.
That's a beautiful thing. The Lightning went out and built a 2 goal lead over 40 minutes of hockey while holding their opponent to just 14 shots, and proceeded to get the back breaker on the power play in the Third Period to get that all-important three goal lead. That last part is critical, and although it may be a mirage, it's nice to see the Lightning starting to get those put-away markers on the PP of late.
Now you put a little heat back on Montreal and see if some things can shake loose in the division crown race.
Nikita Nesterov had 1 shot and 1 hit in 14:53.
Namestnikov had a goal on a beautiful setup from Sustr and was +1 with 2 shots and 1 hit in 10:00. Made the most of his minutes, for sure.

NHL Game Night: 3-3-15 Sabres at LightningSubmitted by pete on March 3, 2015 - 22:19
Let there be kittens!
Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 28 shots he faced for his first career NHL shutout. He got the emergency start for the Lightning after Bishop got injured earlier in the day and he made a huge difference by standing on his head while the Lightning sleepwalked through the first 5-10 minutes of the game.
First Period
16:37 TB Stamkos (36), (Killorn, Sustr)
Second Period
2:48 TB Callahan (20), (Johnson, Filppula)(PP)
4:24 TB Hedman (8), (Stralman, Palat)(PP)
Third Period
Vasilevskiy, Steven Stamkos, and Brayden "Rooster" Coburn were the game's three stars.
It's hard to read too much into the night's festivities given the defensive pairs were shuffled with the addition of Coburn and, more importantly, because Buffalo is sporting a lineup right now that's probably just barely an even match for the Syracuse Crunch.
Still, it's a big 2 points to close within 3 of Montreal. That Panthers loss still stings, though.
No prospect skaters in the lineup tonight. Really.

Originally written on B-More Birds Nest | Last updated 11/18/14
Add a nice little exclamation point to the Birds' magical 2012 season. All three Orioles that were finalists at their position for Gold Glove awards – J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, and Matt Wieters – were declared the victors last night. It was Hardy's first Gold Glove, Wieters second (and second consecutive) and Jones's second (first since 2009). While it was no shock that Hardy took home the accolade, as mentioned here yesterday, I was a bit (happily) surprised that Wieters and Jones won. In addition to being kick-ass defenders, the O's may have benefited a bit from their durability – Wieters played more games than any A.L. catcher (134), Hardy played in the most games he ever has in his career (158), and Jones was a mini-Iron Man, playing in all 162 contests. While many expected Anaheim's Mike Trout to take home the Gold Glove in center field, he likely suffered from two factors: being a rookie, and playing only 110 games in center field. It's not uncommon to see deserving defenders get snubbed their first few times being nominated. Regardless, I'm more than happy to be wrong this time around. It was the first time the O's won three Gold Gloves in a season since 1998. Congrats to all three Birds!

My first experience with 3068 and im highly impressed. I am using wyeast 3068 weinstephan for my hefe that i brewed the other day on 09-12. I pitched the yeast into almost 90 degree wort. I figured i would get more of those delicious flavors (which is what i was going for) if i pitched it at those high temps. That and i didnt want to wait for it to cool down. Anyway........within four hours it took off like a rocket ship and it was border line blowing over. I rigged a blow off and it was blowing off like crazy by that night. It cooled to room temp and continued to blow off for about a day then the krausen fell. Now two days into it the krausen has risen from the dead and is begining to blow off again. Its at a steady room temp 72-75 and smells amazing. Cant get over how well i think this yeast is performing. I highly highly highly recommend it for any hefe's.
Yeah it's great. There is legitimate debate about pitching temps with that yeast. Jamil pitches that yeast at 62 degrees and gets plenty of banana & clove.
That's a really high pitching temperature you did. I'd be curious to see how this turns in when it is done. You should update this thread with how it turns out at the end and maybe even your recipe....
Ill be sure to update when it gets done.
Don't be scared, that is a high pitch temp but if the bulk of your fermentation took place at 72-75 it will be great, a banana bomb but great anyway! I love it fermented in the low 70s anything less and the banana fades too soon and I am left with too much clove for my tastes.
Just used this yeast for the first time. Used it in a BrewHouse American Wheat kit. It is bubbling away this morning, started when I was sleeping. My question, there is already a large yeast bed on the bottom. I thought this was a low attenuating yeast.
Not cold break protiens. These kits come ready to go, everything except the fermentation is done in the brewery. These are just super concentrated wort kits, fantastic things to be working with, super fast, very easy. Sorry, meant low floculation on that.

Rebecca Lieb has commented in the past on how e-commerce sites are becoming agencies
Rebecca Lieb has commented in the past on how e-commerce sites are becoming agencies. They're also becoming publishers, in the "we sell advertising" sense. The latest example is Home Depot's announcement today that it will sell advertising on homedepot.com. This offering will consist of banner ads on the site and ads in e-mail newsletters. Both of these will point to advertiser-specific microsites including interactive demos, streaming video, and in-depth product content. Makes sense if, as Home Depot claims, homedepot.com "receives more traffic than any other online destination in the home and garden category". Moen has already signed up. Talk about reaching customers at the right end of the sales funnel. It's similar to the way eBay lets sellers buy advertising highlighting their own merchandise. (The last development we covered in this space was Guidester's expansion of its network.)
The WSJ has a short piece on this today which says only Home Depot vendors can participate in the program.

Anyone in Albuquerque planting tomato plants yet?
I have this week off, and with the warm temperatures have been tempted to put in some tomato plants. I also remember some springs where we had cold weather the end of March/beginning of April. Is anyone else thinking of putting out tomatoes or peppers?
I put a couple of plants out last year on February 28, just to say I did. They lived to produce a great crop, but they were against a south-facing wall, and required special protection about a dozen times. It's still too early to get much benefit from them being in the ground, as they may survive with care but not put on much growth. We've got a cold spell coming this week and it might be reasonable after that.
By the way, right now is peak season for "mustard weeds", which can harbor the dreaded curly top virus that kills tomatoes. Be sure to eliminate them from your property and immediate area before planting.
