New Again!
New Again!
Okay, I know I've been on the site for a while, and I know a lot about raw ingredients, nutrition, making food, etc. and I've been eating mostly raw for almost 3 years. BUT, I've never been without the option of occasionally eating natural meat and raw dairy (mostly raw goat's milk cheddar cheese). I feel that it's time to let those things go, so in a way I feel I'm new to raw, because I'm new to eating only eating plant foods! I know it's probably just a mental thing, because I've learned a lot about nutrition, detox, transitioning, etc. – but I'm having a really hard time with it – I think I'm worried about not having the option for something easy & calorie-dense when I'm starving & don't feel like cutting up a bunch of veggies.
Have a look on my profile and look at the recipes I have posted and on my husband Chriscarlton's profile and his recipes, we made lots of creamy meaty things! Including our cheese which is easy and quick to make and everyone loves.
You won't miss them after a while. You just have to find some creamy meaty recipes you love. After I went vegan 13 years ago the thought of dairy made me feel sick, and after I went raw the thought and the sight of meat turned my stomach. Maybe the same will happen to you!!
If you want more motivation read this
So I decided that a lot of my problem is that I also feel the desire to eat only really raw foods, but I still have emotional attachments. I went to another health food store today, and as I walked past the miso, I was kind of sad that I wouldn't be buying it any more. (Even though I haven't used it in probably a year or more!) I hesitated, let the emotion & realization sink in, felt sad about it, and finally moved on to buy the olive oil I had come for. I also have used a lot of nuts for a long time that I didn't know until recently weren't really raw, and I am short on money for ordering the really raw ones right now. I love the taste of some of the things I have made with those other nuts (almonds, macadamias, cashews, Brazil nuts), so even though I don't need them (I have raw hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds,hemp seeds & sunflower seeds for similar nutrition), I am sort of greiving over missing them for a few months until I can afford to order the really raw versions. This is such a cool and interesting journey. I realized earlier today that I need to just listen to the things I have said to so many other people on here when they have had questions or needed encouragement – so to be kind to myself, I bought an organic lip balm which is so yummy you could almost eat it! (But I won't, heeheehee) I just stocked up on more greens & I'm thinking of ideas of salads & dressings with fresh herbs, and I'm looking forward to the abundance our garden will provide. I think I just need to let myself be sad for now, because that's usually the part I skip in any change – wow! I'm making progress…
Thanks, Zoe! We were typing at the same time. Actually, the Cheese with Spring Onions recipe is what got my attention to replace the raw goat cheese, so because I knew you both eat only really raw foods, I got recipes from both of you yesterday :) Yum! And like the miso, I don't really want the taste; I think it's just a transition to a new part of life. Finally, I feel like I can be free!
Okay, thanks for not responding (except for Zoe – and that was VERY helpful, thanks!) – No, really. I was waiting for some great advice, or for someone to send me the magical answer or a list of 20 perfect recipes, or something. The fact that no one did, gave me a chance to work on it myself & deal with the negative emotions & realize that I know what I need to do AND I CAN do it! That being said, it would be great if anyone has any magical answer, or any answer. This is just HARD!!!!! I am just having a hard time & want someone to hug me & kiss my boo-boos!
hey angie! this is indeed a change. i too went from "sort of raw" to "all raw" a few months ago. and it's an adjustment.
BUT it is SO worth it.
one thing i had to realize is that i had to change my idea of how much produce was "too much." it's cool to eat two heads of romaine for dinner. when we think of "really" raw food, it's weird that the raw food movement doesn't look towards the obvious. when i stopped buying all the raw specialty items (which weren't even raw to begin with… so sad) i was SAVING money. my grocery bags were bulking up, but were lighter. i guess what i'm saying is that you don't need to look much further than the produce section of your grocery store. and it sounded like you had quite the abundance in your garden coming up… i'm not saying the nut cheeses and stuff aren't a good idea, i just find it's good to eat those AND a whole bunch of produce. and doing that, you'll gradually need the less dense things.
also, dehydrated flatbreads really helped me. making them with veggie pulp and flax (maybe some zucchini) and any spices you like. it gives that "dense" feeling, without all the heavy (and expensive) raw nuts and such…
anyway, good luck! let us know how it goes.
it's so great you are doing this before summer by the way… =)
pianissima – Thanks! And, I agree about the timing – it just feels so good and so right, to eat all the fresh fruits & veggies, and I'm hoping/ guessing/sort of expecting that by the time fall comes, I'll be fine with not eating nearly as heavy as what I've been eating during the last 3 winters?
I just remembered something that will fill you up for cheap ($2/lb for golden flax): crackers! eat flax any time, all the time. these crackers, for 5 ounces, will give you 600 calories. that's 50 cents for 600 calories, and they are really tasty crackers.
i'm hoping that i can eat more simple, light food eventually. right now, i can eat light at times, but not at other times. it does help to eat a salad or fruit before a meal, to help me eat less heavy foods.
angie i'm also trying to give up some things from the purely raw dead food list. we can struggle through this together!
winona—i really wish raw chefs did a little more research so we didn't have to "go raw" and then "go, oh, yeah, oops, i mean REALLY raw." it makes things wee bit confusing in my opinion. like, i never used miso paste BEFORE going raw! =)
angie-I did not respond before because since I am so new, I feel like I do not have much to give in the way of helping. However, I do want to say that I am really stepping this thing up as of tomorrow. I decided to give myself the month of May to kind of fool around and figure some things out. I still don't feel ready to jump in because I don't have any of the typical equipment except for my vitamix and my cheap juicer. I am going to quit making excusses for myself, though. I mean how hard is it to eat some fruit, some veggies, and seeds? If bj can do it, so can I! Please keep posting about your progress. It is helping me. I just got done drinking my first glass of celery, cucumber, ginger juice. Wow! I cannot believe I got through it! Little sips was all I could handle. bj could not drink any of it! I love the smell of that juice. I cannot believe I am drinking stuff like that, though! I did not ever think that I would be able to stomach it!

TV Fox Traveller's "What's with Indian Women?" looks to discover cities through the eyes of its female participants. BUDHADITYA BHATTACHARYA
The title of the series "What's With Indian Women?" evokes the sort of thing an exasperated gathering of single men would talk about over drinks, or an angsty boy band would sing about. Common to both these images is the absence of women.
But the approach of the latest offering from Fox Traveller is different. Hosted by VJ Andy and comedian Sanjay Rajoura, women participate in the enterprise to find out what's with Indian women. "It is about finding out what is going on in a woman's mind in a light-hearted, not preachy, way," Andy says over the phone. The show comes from a genuine curiosity, rather than a debate mindset, he adds.
As with other programmes on the channel, travel is a significant component of the content. So it is equally about discovering a city through the eyes of women. The cities covered range from the metros to tier 2 cities like Dehradun, Vadodra and Shillong among others. In each city, the hosts discover its character as reflected in its women. In Delhi they meet a "hardnosed" socialite known for her purchasing power who shows them what it is like to be her. In Mumbai, they meet a struggling actress, a successful saas-bahu series star and a corporate tsarina. In Shillong, they are taken by surprise. Here, Andy meets women "who are almost from another country. Their concerns and worries are so different from the women in other cities."
But often the hosts did not find a definitive trait. They encountered contradictions instead. In Jaipur they meet a princess and a tribal woman sarpanch, whose views of the world are very different. In Lucknow, a Begum and an entrepreneur show them the different worlds they inhabit.
Considering the hosts were always at one remove from their subjects (in biological terms), and often at a few more, were there ever any misunderstandings? Andy says, "There were minor misunderstandings, but they were all very open to talking about themselves, even in the smaller cities."
Talking about the format of the show, Andy says, "It's very walk and talk, very out and about" like its precursor, "What's With Indian Men?" which aired last year on the same channel. The hosts will also get a chance to display their personalities — the footage of their travels through cities is spliced with standup comedy performed by Sanjay Rajoura; Andy, in keeping with his persona, will be quite liberal in his comments to women.
Although the show is patently about women, the chemistry between the two hosts will be one of its highlights. "Sanjay and I keep having competitions, and I keep beating him, so that's quite funny."
("What's With Indian Women?" Starts December 9 and will air every Sunday night at 10 p.m. on FOX Traveller.)

Electronics malfunction
By Fried
from Undisclosed
Worked great for a year & a half, then the electronics stopped working :(. Out of (one-year) warranty; costs more to fix than to replace, so I got a new DW - different brand.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Happy So Far
By Amy
This dishwasher works well. I have tried several different settings. That being said, I always rinse my dishes & use rinse aid, in addition to having a whole house filter. I also don't use it for pots, pans or cutlery, preferring to do those by hand due to the expensive nature of those items.
Not impressed
By Candice
I'm not impressed with this dishwasher, my dishes come or of the cleaning cycle still dirty. I'm very frustrated with it.
It's OK
By susie
I like how I can barely hear it when it's running. I like how the controls are hidden from the front. I don't like the way you select the settings for the wash cycles.
Frigidaire Gallery 24'' Dishwasher
By Dale
Have had this for a 3 wash-loads & it is working perfectly so far. Especially love how QUIET it is!
does the job
By Cleaner
units works well. cleans as expected. had a problem with a control module. took a few weeks to get fixed but so far so good. I would purchase again.
So-So Performer
By AzLambert
We purchased this dishwasher in April 2014. It was incredibly quiet and worked very well until About three months later. It stopped excepting rinse agent and the detergent door would not open. Build up on all dishes and never got clean. And it up running the cycle several time or reverting to handwashing. Finally called customer service and since it was under warranty we've had to service employees out to replace the detergent and rinse agent part. Customer service for maintenance was prompt and the washer seems to be behaving better now although there is a chance it is the electronic board that is bad if the problem continues. Don't think the machine is fundamentally awful but it may be having a hard time with our Arizona heart water. The rinse agent is a must. Hopefully the machine does not break down again before the warranty it wears out. Generally satisfied but do not understand why something so Niewood break so soon.
Decent and Practical
By Justin
Overall, the dishwasher is performing as expected. Trying all the different features/settings has been fun to explore. The only issue we've found so far is that the top shelf seems a little unstable when pulled all the way out. And even Sarah Dry still leaves some water that is standing in the dips of the cups.
By one track
Handle gets in the way of a drawer. 2 times a utensil was still dirty. Other than that it's quiet and cleans.

David Beckham
Facts all about:
Birth name David Robert Joseph Beckham
Birthday 2 May 1975
Star sign Taurus
Birthplace Leytonstone, London
Marriages Victoria Adams, July 1999 - present
Before he became one of the world's most famous footballers, David Beckham arrived into the world in London in 1975.
He was born the middle child of parents Sandra West and David 'Ted' Beckham. They also have daughters Lynne and Joanne.
David inherited a love of football from his mum and dad, who were both big Manchester United fans. He showed his potential as a player from an early age and joined the club's training division at 16.
In 1995 David Beckham made his debut for the team in the Premier League and soon established himself as one of England's most promising young footballers.
He became even more of a household name when he started dating Spice Girls star Victoria Adams in 1997. They married in July 1999, just months after the birth of their first child Brooklyn.
Second son Romeo was born three years later and Cruz arrived in February 2005. The couple's only daughter, Harper Seven, came along in July 2011.
While David's personal life was going well, his relationship with Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson deteriorated and David left the club for Real Madrid in 2003. He and his family moved to Spain.
Victoria and David Beckham hit the headlines in April 2004 when their PA Rebecca Loos claimed she'd been having an affair with David. He dismissed the accusations as 'ludicrous'.
In 2007 the footballer signed a £125 million deal with LA Galaxy and the Beckhams set up home in America.
He played for AC Milan during two loan periods before heading to Paris Saint-Germain in January 2013. David kindly donated his salary to a children's charity.
At the end of the 2012-13 season, in which he helped PSG win the French football league, David Beckham retired from the sport.
He certainly achieved a lot in his football career - not only is he the only English footballer to have won league titles in four countries but he also earned a record-breaking 115 caps for England.
Since hanging up his boots, David has embarked on numerous commercial ventures and charity work.
He's supported Victoria in her career as a fashion designer.

Ben is now 12lbs 4oz at 5 weeks 4 days
Mama to DD Feb '08 (9lbs), DS Oct '10 (10lbs) , DD Jan '13
Finn is 7 weeks old today and was 11lbs 7ozs at his check up! He's such a chunker :D
Eleanor was 7 lbs 13 oz at birth and Wednesday at 8 weeks she was exactly 12 lbs.
Travis got weight today... 8 pounds 14 ounces and 21.5 inches long at 7 weeks... he is such a peanut.
Elora was 8lbs 1oz at birth, roughly, and now at 9 weeks is 12 lbs, roughly. :)
i noticed several weeks ago that she went from having that pink newborn skin to the white, rolly polly baby chub that says i'm-a-baby-now-and-not-a-newborn. she still has the fine duck down hairs on her shoulders, tho, so that's consoling. :p
James was 9lb 5oz at birth and at one month he'r roughly 12 1/2lbs already. If you account for the fact that he was down to 8, 12 in the hospital, thats almost a lb a week. I guess its not that suprising based on how much he eats.
SAHM to Codi 1/12/08, James 11/3/10 and Connor 4/10/13 with our own personal Superhero DH/daddy
Beth- WOHM -Madly in love with my Wife- SAHMandSophia, born 11/2/10, at home! Expressing love, one ounce at a time!
Update today at 6 weeks, Oliver is 12lbs 7oz -- he was 9lbs 1oz at birth, and 11lbs 3oz at 4 weeks.
Geez! I feel like Sophia isn't gaining much compared to all the babies here. She was 7.2 at birth and 8.2 at 1 month. We had mostly 0-3 mo clothes for her and had to go out and buy newborn clothes so she wouldn't be swimming In her onesies. Poor thing! Still at 5 weeks old, all of the newborn clothes still fit perfectly, or are still too long. I don't think she'll be in 0-3 mo clothes for a while!
Travis is almost 2 months old and just hit 9 pounds and still fits perfectly in newborn clothes too :)
Avery was born 7lbs 2oz, but lost lots of weight and got down to 6lbs 5oz. At 6 weeks she weighed 11lbs 9oz. That's crazy!!
Lilah was 13lb at 10 weeks, up from 7lb 5oz at birth. My little chubster!
Phinley had an appt on wednesday (2 days shy of 11 weeks) , 7lbs2oz at birth and 19 inches, on wednesday she was 10lbs13oz and 21.5 inches
Osric got weighed again on Tues (2 month check up) and was at 13lb 6oz, up from 7lb 11oz at birth. He's so different from DS1 who's always hung out in the 15-20th percentile for weight.
DS was 8 lbs when born (10/7) and now, at 9 weeks he weighed 14 lbs 3 oz. It amazes me considering how much he doesn't keep down!
Sam was 7-13 at birth, 10 lbs at 6 weeks.
expecting #3 October 26, 2010
Travis is 2 months old today and weighs 9 pounds 12 ounces... my little peanut :)
Ds's latest stats:
birth = 9 lbs 7 oz
1 week = 8 lbs 12 oz
1 month = 12 lbs 14 oz
2 months = 16 lbs 8 oz
It won't be long before he weighs more than some 1-year-olds we know!
This was totally my first 2 babies! They were both 22 pounds by 4 months...
9 weeks old.... Johanna weighs 9 lbs 4 oz, Charlotte is 8 lbs 12 oz. So yeah they are peanuts but collectively we've gained over 8 lbs. :)
Oliver just had his check-up, and on his 2 month birthday he was 13 lbs 9 oz and 24.75" tall.
Birth = 9lbs 1 oz
4 weeks = 11 lbs 3 oz
6 weeks = 12 lbs 7 oz
Birth: 7lbs 2oz
1month: 8lbs 2oz
2 months: 10lbs 8oz
Beth- WOHM -Madly in love with my Wife- SAHMandSophia, born 11/2/10, at home! Expressing love, one ounce at a time!
We just had Naomi's 3 month check up today.
She weighed 12lbs15oz. She dropped from 90% for weight at 2 months to 55% at 3 months. The doctor didn't seem worried at all...me, on the other hand? Ugh. I already am paranoid that Naomi doesn't eat enough (even though her wet and dirty diapers seem adequate...)
Naomi's weight history:
Birth 8lbs2oz
2 weeks 9lbs1oz
4 weeks 9lbs15.5oz
6 weeks 11lbs
8 weeks 11lbs12oz
3 months (13 weeks) 12lbs15oz
Haha, you sound just like me
Dylan followed a similar pattern, actually. He's over 3 months now - 13 1/2 weeks - and his weight gain has definitely slowed the last 3 or 4 weeks. I believe that around the 3 or 4 month mark, the babies do often tend to slow their weight gain slightly, especially as compared to the first few weeks. Dylan went from 6lb 15oz to just over 12lb in only the first two months, but the last month has probably only gained 1lb or so (haven't weighed him in a few weeks, so just guessing based on how heavy he's becoming in my arms!). He's still at a very healthy weight though - as is Naomi - so I really don't think there's any cause for concern. Remind ME of this next time I have my freakout!!

at her 3 month checkup Maggie was 13lbs 4oz and 25" long

Here's the update on Malachi:
Birth: 7 lbs.
2 Weeks: 7 lbs, 15 oz.
1 month: 9 lbs.
6 Weeks: 10 lbs, 2 oz.
10 Weeks: 11 lbs, 4 oz.
Proud wife to my handsome husband Malachi David (2010) and Jeremiah Daniel (2012) joined our family via two lovely homebirths...planning another homebirth for the new belly baby, due April 16, 2015! Doula for 8 years and apprentice midwife for almost 3!
I havent been able to get on but my DH got me a laptop for Christmas so I am able to get on now, so here are my little mans weight chart!
Royce-Jay Allen Walls born 10/19/10
Birth: 9lbs 10oz
2days: 9lbs 3oz
2weeks: 10lbs 14oz
7weeks:14lbs 7oz
11weeks: 17lbs
I really think I am making butter for this little man! He is wearing 6-9 month clothes and some 12 month clothes, its crazy!!!
help!!! my turn to freak out again
madison has dropped yet another centile so from eing on the 91st at birth she's now on the 50th
14 weeks and 13lbs 14 oz meaning she's only gained 7oz in two weeks. the health visitors are calm but starting to show little signs of concern, which obviously means im totally having a meltdown..... :(
Is she happy and meeting milestones? Pretend you haven't weighed her, whats your instinct say? I she weeing and pooing lots?
I would post in the breastfeeding forum too, to get more replies. Big breaths, stay calm. I bet she's just fine. Breastfed babies gain differently to formula babies. Is the charts the health visitors using for breastfed or formula babies?
Mama to DD Feb '08 (9lbs), DS Oct '10 (10lbs) , DD Jan '13

Gear Question

Any suggestions on how to get the funk...
Any suggestions on how to get the funk outta the clothing after you wash with this stuff? Normally I wouldn't care, but I have my town softshell, and I really don't want to smell while wearing this jacket or after.
Let me clarify: The smell I'm complaining of is from the Nikwax. It gets the other odors out from the clothing, but there is an awful funk that takes forever to air out. Any ideas how to get rid of it quicker without washing it again in a soap free cycle?
Usually the Nikwax will take care of the funk as well. All the jackets and pant I have washed with Nikwax, the smell is gone after the nikwax treatment.

When Google unveiled its smart and controversial eyewear three years ago, some early tech adopters tried to do their part by eagerly pushing for Glass acceptance. The world pushed back.
Replacing the Marque 2, this $60 Bluetooth headset offers dual microphones with "noise-canceling DSP and GSMA-certified HD Voice," and a unique USB charging strap.

Two years ago, the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, was sprinkled with people wearing Google's smart eyewear. This year, it seemed like no one was wearing it. Except me.
The story of Google Glass is about more than a company and a product. It's about the people who believed in what Glass could do.

HRs by Hunter, Wells lead Angels past Tigers 5-1
ANAHEIM, Calif. Although Torii Hunter has nine Gold Gloves in his trophy case, he's flabbergasted by the plays Peter Bourjos is making on a near-nightly basis in center field at Angel Stadium.
So is Miguel Cabrera after Bourjos robbed the Detroit slugger in back-to-back at-bats during another win for the surging Angels.
Hunter and Vernon Wells homered, Joel Pineiro yielded five hits over seven solid innings, and Los Angeles beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 Monday night for its ninth win in 11 games.
Erick Aybar and Mark Trumbo had RBI singles for the Angels, who have surged into first place in the AL West with 14 wins in 19 games overall, winning six straight series. But the holiday crowd was most impressed by Bourjos, the rookie speedster who stole two bases while warming up for his outfield theatrics.
Bourjos made a sprinting catch at his shoetops on Cabrera's sinking liner in the fourth inning, and he brought down the house on a leaping catch with two runners on in the sixth, hitting the wall on the fly while snaring another drive from the majors' 2010 RBI leader.
"I didn't think about it," Bourjos said of his daredevil catch. "I didn't have a choice. I was going to hit that wall. ... (Cabrera) can really hit. I might have to play on the track tomorrow."
Hunter missed the Angels' past two games against the Dodgers with a bruised left hand, but connected in the first inning for his ninth homer of the season, hitting the fake rock pile beyond center field at Angel Stadium. After a decade as maybe the majors' best defensive center fielder, Hunter has ceded the position to Bourjos - and he can't complain.
"I see it a little differently - some good steps, some good angles," Hunter said. "With his breaks on the ball, it's like, how is he even close to that? He's always there, man."
Pineiro (4-3) walked three and managed just one strikeout, but largely avoided trouble in his fifth consecutive start without a loss. He tired in the late innings of his longest start since May 16, but the Angels' infield ended the sixth and seventh innings with double plays - not to mention Bourjos' trouble-saving defense.
"I think that was the momentum-changer big-time in the ballgame," Pineiro said of Bourjos' leaping catch. "If you can keep it in the ballpark, they've got a good chance of making the play anywhere in our outfield."
Jhonny Peralta hit an RBI single in the fourth for the Tigers, who have lost five of seven. Furbush (1-2) didn't make it out of the fifth inning in his first career start for the Tigers, yielding five hits and three runs - including one run on a comical balk that allowed Bourjos to score from third.
And the Tigers' potent offense was no help this time: Cabrera and Victor Martinez, two of the AL's top four hitters, were a combined 0 for 7.

McCarthy has no fresh injury worries to contend with and is set to retain the side that started last weekend's 2-1 win at Blackburn.

Money and capitalism's pivotal 'public-private partnership'
by Geoffrey Ingham
The Polish Presidential election, held on Sunday, resulted in the victory of the (so-called) Law and Justice party candidate, Andrzej Duda, and the defeat of the Civic Platform party incumbent, Bronislaw Komorowski. The Law and Justice Party is generally seen as more nationalist and populist – and pro-American - while the Civic Platform is more pro-EU and economically and socially liberal. We look at what lies behind this electoral shift - the geopolitical and economic factors.
Can continuous economic growth ever be sustainable, or is it merely a delusion?
We tend to assume that our wages or salaries should, and will always rise in real terms. That living standards will follow the same trajectory. That house prices will never fall. That the price of Picasso paintings or ruby rings can be trusted always to "smash records". And that the economy will "grow' exponentially over time. Indeed "economic growth" is hard-wired in the way we think about, and measure the economy.
While Labour and LibDem activists mourn, and political opportunists seize the moment, is the loss of the election such a bad thing? Might this be a good time to lose an election?
I think so. The reasons can be found in both domestic and global financial imbalances, in the advance of de-globalisation trends that are manifest in shrinking capital flows and growing nationalist movements; and in rising geopolitical tensions.
As I write, out in the big wide world there are upheavals in Eurozone and other sovereign bond markets...
Macroeconomics is opposed to the conventional scheme of so-called Walrasian equilibrium where aggregate outcomes follow aggregating up of the behaviour of consumers and firms (according to various axioms, e.g. profit maximisation). The foundations for macroeconomics follow more from the logic required to abstract from human behaviour in a real world setting to the outcomes of the system as a whole. Critical to this process are an accurate representation of money, and recognition that key decisions are made in time and hence under conditions of uncertainty.
In the discussion of what happens after tomorrow's General Election, if there is no self-evident majority produced (whether single party or easy-fit coalition), not enough attention has been given to the impact of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011. This Act was hastily agreed as a means of cementing the Coalition government to hold for a 5 year term. The Act has indeed some very strange quirks to note and in some cases avoid. We explore some of them here.
It is a truth universally unacknowledged that, beneath their respective cultural veils, the British and the French are really quite similar. This is reflected in their demography and economics. But in one area the two countries diverge sharply – in labour productivity. Here, France and the UK have taken very different paths to achieve, in effect, an almost identical end result. What unites the two countries' economies is a lack of demand and economic activity sufficient to generate full employment (especially in France) at reasonable wages (especially in the UK).
By Jeremy Smith, February 2015
There were no big surprises in today's Office for National Statistics' 2nd estimate of UK GDP for the first quarter of 2015 – except on the part of those who expected it to be higher than the first. The economy "grew" 0.3% from Q4 2014, and compared to Q1 2014 it was 2.4% up (unchanged). Services' output continued to rise while production was stagnant and construction output fell. The trade gap widened, and this had a negative impact on GDP.
Ann Pettifor (Commonwealth, 2014)
Modern Finance is generally incomprehensible to ordinary men and women....The level of comprehension of many bankers and regulators is not significantly higher. It was probably designed that way. Like the wolf in the fairy tale, 'all the better to fleece you with'
- Satyajit Das
Victoria Chick & Ann Pettifor, with G Tily

Fiscal consolidation does not 'slash' the debt, but contributes to it. As the extent of economic recovery becomes increasingly uncertain Prof.

Vinay Kumar
Joint prosecution against the accused planned
Refutes charges of political manipulation
NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation is likely to complete the second part of its investigations into the Rs. 7300-crore Satyam scam by the end of September-October.
Thereafter, the agency plans to launch joint prosecution against the accused in an exclusive special court being created for this purpose, CBI Director Ashwani Kumar has said.
Lauding the work done by the officers of the Multi Disciplinary Investigation Team constituted at Hyderabad to probe the Satyam scam, Mr. Kumar said. The team included chartered accountants, income tax, SEBI and bank officers, forensic accounting experts along with lawyers and completed part one of the probe within 45 days, he noted.
Apart from the corporate frauds like Satyam, the agency had also focussed its attention on specific areas of corruption and malfeasance.
"After completing our probe in cooperative housing scam cases of Delhi on the orders of the Delhi High Court, we have now unearthed high level corruption in the ordnance factories board of the Defence Ministry. The corruption in AICTE and Protectorate of Emigrants directly affect large sections of students and lower strata of individuals seeking emigration outside the country," he said.
In a statement after inaugurating a media hut at the CBI headquarters here on Saturday, Mr. Kumar vowed to turn the CBI into a world class organisation in the near future. He said the first step would be to come up to the expectations of the government, parliament, judiciary, media and the people.
Stressing that the CBI's role was to investigate and prosecute criminals and the corrupt, he said it was not the agency's duty to either punish the accused or declare him guilty as the scrutiny of evidence and conviction was the responsibility of the courts.
On allegations that the CBI conducted its probe or prosecutions "stealthily at the behest of the ruling party or the government in power," the CBI chief said the agency carried out its investigations as per rules, norms and procedures.
Emphasising that "nobody can hide the truth," he said it was a "myth to say that the CBI works at the behest of the powers that be." Mr. Kumar said the agency's work "is transparent and truthful" and is being monitored by various courts, and agencies like the Central Vigilance Commission, Ministries, Departments and the media.
"It is difficult to understand how the CBI can still be accused of conducting investigations at the behest of someone. If there is any element of truth in this allegation then we need to have a re-look at our entire system of reporting and monitoring," he said.
Action plan
He said the CBI had prepared an annual action plan, defining its priorities, at the beginning of the year and given it to all its officers for implementation. He said the CBI aimed to wrap up all investigations within one year.
The agency had provided laptops and mobile phones to all its investigating and prosecuting officers. "We have constituted investigation and prosecution teams in the branches and zones replacing the one-man, single investigating officer, single prosecutor [system] and these teams will ensure internal transparency and quicker disposal," he said.
Mr. Kumar said the CBI had little control over the conduct of proceedings in court.
"Trials, their speed and disposal largely depend on the examination of witnesses, cooperation of defence counsels, court procedures and the Judge," he added.
Hoping to "re-engineer the structure and the working methodology" of the agency, Mr. Kumar said the CBI would soon send a proposal to the government for filling up all the vacancies.

ElBaradei and IAEA win Nobel Prize
By Alister Doyle
OSLO (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog and its head
Mohamed ElBaradei won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in
an award calculated to help efforts to banish the peril of
nuclear arms six decades after Hiroshima.
The Nobel Committee praised the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) and ElBaradei, a 63-year-old Egyptian, for work
to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons to new states and to
terrorists, and to ensure safe civilian use of nuclear energy.
ElBaradei learned he had won from television news at home
after missing a telephone call to his Vienna office from the
Nobel Committee in Norway.
ElBaradei "was very humbled by the announcement. Surprised,
humbled," IAEA spokesman Marc Vidricaire said. "He sees this as
support to what the agency has been doing in the field of
non-proliferation, in the field of disarmament."
Congratulations came from world leaders like Britain's Tony
Blair and France's Jacques Chirac, who said he was "delighted."
Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, the 1990 laureate,
praised ElBaradei for doing his job "solidly and responsibly."
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, also a peace laureate,
called it "a welcome reminder of the acute need to make
progress on the issue of nuclear non-proliferation and
The IAEA has had little success in recent standoffs with
Iran and North Korea and ElBaradei has faced criticism from
many quarters, most recently from both the United States and
Iran in his efforts to investigate Tehran's nuclear program.
Washington had opposed his reappointment to a new term.
He came to prominence before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq
in 2003 by challenging Washington's argument that Saddam
Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. No such weapons were
found after the overthrow of Saddam. A program discovered in
the early 1990s appeared to have been abandoned as Iraq had
Some experts say the IAEA has achieved too little in North
Korea and Iran to merit the prize. Elbaradei is unbowed.
"There have been two nuclear shocks to the world already,"
ElBaradei once said. "The Chernobyl accident and the IAEA's
discovery of Iraq's clandestine nuclear weapons program. It is
vital we do all in our power to prevent a third."
The Nobel Committee, acknowledging that the world's lack of
progress in nuclear disarmament, expressed hope that this award
would spur work to outlaw atomic weapons 60 years after the
U.S. atom bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and
ElBaradei was an "unafraid advocate" of measures to
strengthen non-proliferation, it said. He and the IAEA had been
among favorites for the award and won from a record field of
199 candidates ranging from presidents to Irish rock star Bono.
"At a time when disarmament efforts appear deadlocked, when
there is a danger that nuclear arms will spread both to states
and to terrorist groups, and when nuclear power again appears
to be playing an increasingly significant role, IAEA's work is
of incalculable importance," the Committee said.
The prize, named after Sweden's Alfred Nobel, a
philanthropist and inventor of dynamite, is worth $1.3 million
and is due to be handed out in Oslo on December 10.
The 2004 prize also went to an African, Kenyan
environmentalist Wangari Maathai. ElBaradei was the first
Egyptian winner since President Anwar Sadat in 1978.
Nobel Committee chairman Ole Danbolt Mjoes said the prize
was not a veiled criticism of Washington after ElBaradei and
President George W. Bush feuded over Iraq.
"This is not a kick in the legs to any country," he told a
news conference. A former chairman described the 2002 prize to
former U.S. President Jimmy Carter as a "kick in the legs" to
Still, one expert said the prize would have clearly been
less controversial if it had gone to the IAEA alone.
ElBaradei's inclusion "is an implicit criticism of the United
States," said Stein Toennesson, head of the Peace Research
Institute, Oslo.
The 2005 award seems to confirm an anti-nuclear trend on
major anniversaries of Hiroshima.
In 1995, British ban-the-bomb scientist Joseph Rotblat won
with his Pugwash organization. And in 1985, the award went to a
U.S-Soviet group of doctors, International Physicians for the
Prevention of Nuclear War.
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee has concentrated on the
struggle to diminish the significance of nuclear arms in
international politics, with a view to their abolition," the
committee said in a statement.
"That the world has achieved little in this respect makes
active opposition to nuclear arms all the more important
today," it said.
(With extra reporting by John Acher, James Kilner and Terje
Solsvik in Oslo, Francois Murphy in Vienna)

The Owner purchased this cabin in 2008
This cabin is absolutely perfect for a family vacation or just a weekend getaway. The pictures do it no
Justice, it has a cozy feel and is in the perfect location between Lake Wallenpaupack and Deer Lake. I would definitely go back.
The cabin was amazing!! So clean and really well kept. We had such a memorable time and can't wait to go back.
The Log Cabin was perfect. It was very clean, well supplied, and nicely decorated. It definitely meet all of our needs as well as our 5 year old. We would definitely stay here again. We had a beautiful and comfortable stay with No stress. We even had 8 inches of snow, which my daughter loved since it was her first time ever seeing it. ( We live in Florida)
Spent a Long Weekend Gate A Way with my wife and another couple and had a Great Time at the Cabin . This Cabin was as advertized , extremely clean , well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The home owner was very easly to deal with and our plan is rent this cabin sometime next year for another long weekend of sightseeing and relaxation.
Thank you Renne and Heather for sharing your awesome lakehouse with us. The house was everything stated in description. It was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. We choose to cook and eat in and everything we needed was available. Our two grandchildren were with us 2 1/2 and 18 months and we were at ease with the comforts of your home. We visited the paws and claw zoo, feed the giraffe, pet the turtles and so much more. The deer visited the back several times a day and our granddaughters were so excited. We roasted marshmallows in the firepit and made smores. I loved relaxing in the hammock and reading on the front porch. My husband and son-in-law fished in the lakes and our granddaughter reeled her first sunnyfish in. I would recommend your home for a relaxing getaway anytime of the year. My only regret is that we did not stay longer.
We really enjoyed our stay in this house. It is a great community to be in with kids, with so many things for them to do, and the quiet streets where they can ride bikes etc. We very much appreciated the well-stocked house, and how easy the owners make it for renters. Everything has been thought of and is ready for the guests' use. It was great to be able to borrow the kayaks, use the basketball hoop game, the towels, etc. We all had a wonderful time. In fact, because the kids had so many different activities, and every day was different, they were never bored. That made it truly our best family vacation in years, possibly ever!
We would definitely consider returning, and it will remain a favorite vacation spot in our memories for a long time to come.

You Are The Average Of What?
by Bob Roth - Apr, 2015
There are factors that combine to make you who you are, what you are and who you will become, as you move through college and beyond. Your success, mediocrity or failure usually depends on what you surround ourselves with. However, you have a great deal of control over your environment. You choose the people, places, information, tools, motivation and opportunities that you allow to get close to you. So, let?s take a close...

Will You Settle For What You Think You Deserve?
by Bob Roth - Sep, 2014
Many college students can recite a litany of reasons for why their performance is relatively average when it comes to college and career endeavors. They talk about their lack of resources, their family history and the disadvantages they have faced. Because these students focus on personal problems, shortcomings and failures, they are trapped in the mind set of someone who is likely to underperform. For most students,...

Five Words That Scare College Students
by Bob Roth - Jun, 2014
When students graduate from college, they expect to begin a new job, one that will launch their careers and get them started in life. They will have worked their way through college and reached the senior year with the expectation that they are prepared to conduct their senior year job search, will take a few interviews and will receive one or more job offers. Unfortunately, things don't always go the way we all would like t...

Latest Reunion Island Stories
Ex-cyclone Haruna is expected to dissipate in the Southern Indian Ocean under increasing wind shear in the next day or two. Infrared imagery from a NASA satellite shows that Haruna is being blown apart several hundred miles away from La Reunion Island.
During the early morning hours on Tuesday, February 16, the sixteenth tropical cyclone formed in the South Pacific Ocean and NASA captured an infrared image of its cold clouds, watching as it strengthens.
Huge waves that struck Reunion Island and coastlines across Indonesia earlier this month all originated from the same storm that occurred south of Cape Town, South Africa, and were tracked across the entire Indian Ocean for some 10 000 kilometres over a nine-day period by ESA's Envisat satellite.
The origin and movement of waves reaching up to 11 metres that devastated France's Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean on Saturday evening have been detected with ESA's Envisat satellite.
- Stoppage; cessation (of labor).
- A standing still or idling (of mills, factories, etc.).

Re: Swimming
World Pool Focus on Beijing
Footballers and tennis players should take a leaf out of the swimmers' book and give themselves a rest. As the swimming calendar becomes increasingly congested, the world's elite swimmers are prioritising their events, and that means just one thing: the Olympic Games.
2005 WORLDS: Michael misses Thorpedo, VDB
Ian Thorpe took a year off after Athens to ensure he would be in top form for the worlds in Melbourne in 2007 and the Beijing Games of 2008.
Pieter Van den Hoogenband and Jana Klochkova also opted out this year for the same reason. Grant Hackett has undergone shoulder surgery and will sacrifice next year's Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, to ensure he can compete in the worlds in the same city a year later and at Beijing 2008.
Since 2001, the world championships are now held every two years; in the years before and after an Olympic Games.
So with swimming being such a punishing sport to train for, something has to give. And for the elite, it was this year's worlds in Montreal. Not that the meet was poor; with nine world records, it was far from it.
It's just that people's minds were elsewhere. Even the great Michael Phelps could 'only' manage five gold and one silver; a magnificent haul by any standards, but one that left the media disappointed.
Grant Hackett, though, finally stepped out from Ian Thorpe's considerable shadow and occupied centre stage, becoming the first person to win four consecutive world championship titles, and is rightly honoured as the world swimmer of the year.
The swimming public wants to see the best line up against the best with everything to play for.
So despite Budapest, the capital of one of the greatest swimming nations, hosting what will be a terrific European championships next year, everyone is patiently waiting for the world championships a year later in Melbourne, the sporting playground of another of the world's great swimming nations.
Fun though that championships will be to watch, history beckons a year later.
Thorpe, Hackett and Van den Hoogenband will all be bidding to become the first man to win gold medals at three consecutive Olympics.
So roll on 2007. The world championships will act as the curtain raiser to the one they all want to win: a historic Olympic Games in the most exciting country in the world, China.
the pics are not interesting therefor they will not be posted
Allez cute coach!!! To the MC!!!

Michigan Wolverines
Ohio State Buckeyes
Bragging rights between the states of Michigan and Ohio will be on the line on Saturday afternoon in the Horseshoe, as the Ohio State Buckeyes look to continue being a dominant team both at home and in this series in a college football betting bash with the Michigan Wolverines.
Michigan already knows that it is safe for a bowl game, as the Big Ten is just barely going to fill its allotment of bowl teams. The good news for Big Blue is that an upset will get them moving up the bowl ladder in a hurry, and they might be able to sneak into one of the big time games that the conference has a tie in to. The bad news is that a loss will probably keep it at a second tier bowl game. However, HC Rich Rodriguez knows that at some point, he has to beat Ohio State to keep his job. This isn't a do or die for him by any means, but winning this game would probably earn him some more free time. QB Denard Robinson has fallen off just a tad, but he can probably still become a Heisman Trophy finalist if he upsets Ohio State on Saturday afternoon. Robinson is the nation's leading rusher at 1,538 yards, and he has 14 TDs to show for his work on the ground. Through the air is where things have really dropped, as he is only at 2,229 yards with 16 scores and 10 picks. Still, guiding the No. 5 offense in America at 514.5 yards per game is still a very impressive feat for Robinson to stake claim to.
Ohio State has a man that is trying to become a Heisman Trophy finalist in his own right in QB Terrelle Pryor. Pryor has done everything right this season, but the fact that his Buckeyes were really beaten down by the pollsters and the computers for that one loss at the Wisconsin Badgers has killed him. Pryor has thrown for 2,331 yards and 23 TDs in just 11 games this year, and he has rushed for 590 more yards and four scores. The offense has held its own, averaging 446.2 yards per game and 39.6 points per game to be amongst the best in the Big Ten. So far this year, the Buckeyes are a perfect 7-0 SU and ATS on their home turf, the only team in the country that can say that. Defensively, things have just been flat out amazing. The Bucks are giving up just 241.1 yards per game and 13.9 points per game, and there is no one doubting that this is the best 'D' in the Big Ten. A win would lock in a Top 10 ranking for OSU at season's end, and the more impressive the victory, the more likely that it will snare a bid to the BCS as an at large team if the Rose Bowl cannot be achieved.
OSU needs to win this game and win it in a huge way to impress the human voters and the computers to have any chance of winning the Big Ten. There is probably too much ground to make up to reach Pasadena again unless Wisconsin loses this weekend, but in the event that that doesn't happen, don't be shocked to see the Orange Bowl or the Sugar Bowl snatch these guys up. It's going to take a big time 'W', and that's exactly what the Buckeyes are going to provide to finish a perfect 8-0 SU and ATS at home.

US, Australia leaders eye more defence cooperation
Published on Jun 13, 2014 6:39 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President Barack Obama said on Thursday that he envisioned greater defence cooperation with Australia in a tension-filled Asia, welcoming Prime Minister Tony Abbott despite differences on climate change.
In the conservative leader's first White House summit since his election in September, Abbott said that Australia "will be an utterly indispensable ally" of the United States and welcomed Obama's efforts to shift more US attention on Asia.
Obama praised Abbott for increasing Australia's defence budget in tough economic times, calling the move a recognition that "we all have to make sure that we're doing our fair share to help maintain global order and security."
"We don't have a better friend in the world, as well as the Asia-Pacific region, than Australia," Obama told reporters after the Oval Office meeting.

A method for controlling the cell gap of a liquid crystal display device is disclosed. A photo-sensitive polymer layer is coated over a substrate on which color filter, ITO and black matrix of the liquid crystal display device are formed. Spacers are uniformly sprayed and adhered on the photo-sensitive polymer. With a negative-type photo-polymer, a photo-mask can be used to expose the area of photo-sensitive polymer layer covering the the black matrix. The masked area is exposed, developed and removed by a conventional photo-lithographic process. The spacers attached to the masked area are also removed. The size of the spacers attached on the polymer above the thin-film transistors and the black matrix controls the cell gap.
1. A method for controlling a cell gap between two substrates of a liquid crystal display, comprising the steps of:
preparing a substrate for said liquid crystal display, said substrate comprising a plurality of pixels each having a pixel opening, black matrix and ITO manufactured thereon;
coating a photo-sensitive layer above said substrate for covering the pixel opening and black matrix of each pixel;
prebaking said photo-sensitive layer;
spraying and attaching a plurality of spacers uniformly on said photo-sensitive layer;
using a photo-mask for exposing a first portion of said photo-sensitive layer to a light source and masking a second portion of said photo-sensitive layer, said first portion covering the black matrix of each pixel, and said second portion covering the pixel opening of each pixel;
developing and removing the second portion of said photo-sensitive layer for exposing the pixel opening of each pixel; and
post-baking the first portion of said photo-sensitive layer.
2. The method for controlling a cell gap according to claim 1, further comprising a step of over-coating a protection layer on top of said spacers, said photo-sensitive layer and said substrate.
3. The method for controlling a cell gap according to claim 2, wherein said protection layer is further patterned by a photo-lithographic process including exposing and then developing said protection layer.
4. The method for controlling a cell gap according to claim 2, wherein the material of said protection layer is a negative-type photo-sensitive, positive-type photo-sensitive or thermo-curable material.
5. The method for controlling a cell gap according to claim 1, wherein said substrate is a TFT plate.
The present invention relates to liquid crystal display devices, and more specifically to the control of cell thickness in manufacturing liquid crystal display devices.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprises a pair of substrates having transparent electrodes or switching devices, arranged to face each other with a space in which a liquid crystal material is filled. Spacers are typically placed between the two substrates in order to maintain a gap and control the thickness formed by the substrates. FIG. 1 shows a conventional LCD with spacers between the substrates. The conventional LCD structure comprises an upper polarizer 11, a middle structure including liquid crystal cells 12 and spacers 13, a lower polarizer 14, and a light is source 15.
It is important that an LCD device has a uniform cell gap to achieve high contrast, wide viewing angle and low color distortion. In general, For a twisted nematic (TN) LCD, the accuracy of the uniform thickness of the cell gap has to be controlled within �0.1 μm. For a super twisted nematic (STN) LCD, it requires that the spacing be controlled within �0.05 μm for high quality. A conventional method of manufacturing spacers in a thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD is illustrated in FIG. 2. Spacer balls are uniformly sprayed and distributed on top of the substrate as shown in FIG. 2.
The main drawback in the LCDs manufactured by the conventional approach is that the spacers may block some of the pixel area. The pixel aperture ratio is thus decreased due to the spacers. Both the brightness and the contrast of the display are degraded. The problem becomes very severe for LCDs having a smaller pixel size. As an example, for projection type or high definition LCDs, the pixel size can be as small as 40 μms. If a spacer ball of a 5 um size falls in a pixel area, the quality of the displayed picture is greatly impacted.
Techniques of maintaining the spacing between the LCD substrates have been presented to overcome the problems associated with spacer balls. U.S. Pat. No. 5,268,782 of Wetiz et al. discloses a liquid crystal display device using micro-ridged polymeric substrates for maintaining a precise and uniform spacing between substrates. H. Yamanaka et al. presented a paper titled "Integrated Black Matrix on TFT Arrays" in SID 92 DIGEST for manufacturing an integrated black matrix that includes pigment-dispersed photo-polymer on TFT array in order to improve aperture ratio. H. Yamashita et al. published a paper titled "Precise Cell-Thickness Control by Spacer-Ball-Free Structure and its Application to Large-Size TFT LCDs" in SID 96 DIGEST for controlling the cell thickness by a stack of spacer-ball-free hybrid column structure that combines organic black matrix and color filter layers.
FIG. 3 shows an LCD device having photo-polymer layers to control the thickness of the cell gap. It can be seen that the pixel area is not blocked by any spacer ball. This type of technique, however, has a drawback in that it is difficult to fabricate a photo-polymer layer with substantial thickness such as 5˜6 μms required in an LCD device. Two photo-polymer layers are often required to form a column stack structure. The structure may also be manufactured by fabricating a photo-polymer layer on each of the top and bottom substrates. The two photo-polymer layers are then aligned to control the thickness of the cell gap. The process and cost of manufacturing LCDs are increased due to the formation of two photo-polymer layers or the difficulty in the alignment. A better method for controlling the cell thickness in the fabrication of LCDs is highly desirable in the industry.
The present invention has been made to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks and satisfy the need of manufacturing LCDs with uniform cell gap. The object of this invention is to provide a method for controlling the cell gap of LCDs without blocking pixel openings in order to improve the quality of the display.
According to this invention, a photo-lithographic process for fabricating a photo-polymer layer and a conventional method of spraying spacer balls are combined to provide adequate cell gap control of an LCD. By coating a layer of photo-polymer above the substrate with black matrix, color filter and ITO or the substrate with TFT and then spraying spacer balls on top, the spacer balls that fall in the pixel areas of the LCD can be electively removed in the following photo-lithographic process. The LCD devices manufactured with the method of this invention have higher quality because a higher aperture ratio can be obtained.
FIG. 1 shows a conventional LCD device having spacers between the substrates.
FIG. 2 shows a conventional method of manufacturing spacers in an LCD.
FIG. 3 shows an LCD device having a photo-polymer structure to control the thickness of a cell gap.
FIG. 4 illustrates the process of cell gap control of this invention in manufacturing an LCD device.
FIG. 5 illustrates another process of cell gap control of this invention in manufacturing an LCD devices.
FIG. 6 shows the top view of a finished photo-polymer layer on an LCD substrate manufactured by the method of this invention.
FIG. 4 illustrates the process of combining a photo-polymer layer and spacer balls for maintaining a cell gap. An LCD substrate 21 with black matrix 22 and pixel openings 23 (color filter) is shown in FIG. 4(a). For maximizing the aperture ratio of a pixel, the pixel opening 23 should not be blocked by any spacers fabricated for controlling the cell gap. A photo-polymer layer 24 is first coated on top of the device as shown in FIG. 4(b). The photo-polymer can be a negative-type or positive-type photo-resist. The thickness of the photo-polymer layer can be in the range of 0.05 to 3 μms. Because the thickness is not critical and can be as thin as 0.1 μms, the coating does not require any special process. The photo-polymer layer is dried by a prebake process.
Spacers are then uniformly sprayed over the photo-polymer layer and adhered thereon by a conventional method as shown in FIG. 4(c). The conventional photolithographic technique is used to selectively remove the photo-polymer layer that covers the pixel openings 23. If a negative-type photo-resist is used, a photo-mask is patterned to expose the black matrix and mask the pixel openings. After the photo-polymer layer is exposed to a light source, the pixel opening area that has not been exposed is developed and removed. Because the spacers are attached to the photo-polymer, in the pixel opening area they are also removed along with the photo-polymer. The pixel opening is therefore not blocked by any spacers. A postbake process finally finishes the photo-polymer layer. Alternatively, the spacer could be protected by an overcoating layer after photo-lithographic process, and then printing the polyimide layer. FIG. 4(d) shows the cross-sectional view of the finished photo-polymer layer. FIG. 4(e) shows that a protection layer has been over coated on top of the spacers and the photo-polymer layer. The material of the protection layer may be a negative-type photo-sensitive, positive-type photo-sensitive or thermo-curable material. The protection layer can further be patterned by a conventional photo-lithographic process which exposes and develops the layer to form a desired pattern.
According, to this invention, it is also feasible to perform light exposure of the photo-polymer layer before spraying the spacers on the layer. After attaching the spacers on the photo-polymer layer, the spacers that fall in the area where photo-polymer has been exposed and developed will be removed as well. The thickness of the photo-polymer layer can be very thin and the total desired thickness of the cell gap can be controlled by using different sizes of spacers. There are spacers of various sizes available commercially. Therefore, the cell gap can be controlled to a desired thickness easily.
FIG. 5 demonstrates another process of this invention for controlling the cell gap of a liquid crystal display. Firstly, the spacer balls are uniformly sprayed and distributed on top of the color filter plate. A photo-polymer 24 is coated on top of the plate as shown in FIG. 5(c), and then the desired pattern was obtained by a photo-lithographic process. The photo-polymer is a negative-type or positive-type photoresist. The thickness of the photo-polymer and the photo-lithographic process used in the process of FIG. 5 are the same as those in the process of FIG. 4. FIG. 6 shows a top view of a finished photo-polymer manufactured by the method of the present invention.
The method of this invention requires only one photo-lithographic process. The coating of it thin photo-polymer layer is also a well known and established technique. As a result, the method provides a stable and controllable approach for maintaining uniform cell gap. The photo-polymer should comprise a transparent photo-sensitive material. The transparent material may be either positively or negatively photo-sensitive. Materials that are commonly used for fabricating color filters are also applicable. The aperture ratio of the LCD device manufactured by this invention is high because no pixel openings are blocked. Consequently, high brightness and contrast as well as a wide viewing angle can be achieved. If the method of this invention is used to fabricate a TFT LCD device, the substrate as described above is a TFT plate.
