Circuit boards are manufactured by forming a substrate with a dielectric surface and laminating a metal foil onto the substrate. The metal foil is patterned to form a first wiring layer. A permanent photoimagable dielectric layer is formed over the wiring layer and via holes are formed through the dielectric layer over pads and conductors of the wiring layer. Holes are formed through the substrate and substrate surfaces including the photoimagable dielectric, walls of the via holes, and walls of the through holes subjected to an electroless copper plating process. The process includes seeding the surface, coating the surface with a first solution containing surfactant and electroplating in a second solution in which the level of surfactant is regulated by determining the surface tension and metering surfactant addition to the second solution depending on the determination of surface tension. The copper plating on the photoimagable dielectric is patterned to form an exterior wiring layer which is covered by solder resist with windows over lands around the through holes and surface mount connection pads of the exterior wiring layer to form a high density circuitized substrate. Surface mount components and/or pin in hole components are attached to the circuitized substrate with solder joints between terminals of the components and the lands and/or connection pads to form a high density circuit board assembly. One or more of the circuit board assemblies are mounted in an enclosure with a power supply, CPU, RAM, and I/O means to form an information handling system with increased performance due to shorter signal flight times due to the higher device density.

These inventions relate to the manufacture of high density computer systems using circuit board assemblies having very small pads (4-12 mil) for connection of flip chips and wire bond chips and/or very fine conductors for fan out from ball grid array modules, fine pitch (0.3-0.6 mm spacing) leaded components, flip chips, or wire bond chips that are attached to the circuit board assemblies. These inventions also relate to the manufacture of chip carriers in which flip chips and/or wire bond chips are connected to such very small pads and in which very fine conductors fan out from the chip connection pads to terminals for connection to circuit board assemblies. More specifically these inventions relate to an additive processes in which metal is fully electrolessly deposited onto substrates to form these very fine conductors and very small pads.
The following background is for convenience of those skilled in the art and for incorporating the listed citations by reference. The following background information is not an assertion that a search has been made, or that the following citations are analogous art, or that any of the following citations are pertinent or the only pertinent art that exists, or that any of the following citations are prior art.
The continued introduction of higher I/O and higher density surface mount components especially 0.3-0.6 mm gull wing leaded components, 40 mil ball grid array BGA modules, as well as the direct connection flip chips and wire bond chips to circuit boards, has resulted in a need for very fine conductors on organic circuit boards for fan out at these components. Also, the introduction of connecting flip chips and wire bond chips directly onto organic and metal circuit boards requires very small pads to be reliably formed. Furthermore, the introduction of chip carrier modules with organic and organic coated metal substrates has created a demand for very fine conductors and very small pads on organic surfaces.
Commonly, circuit boards include buried power planes (ground and other voltage levels) and signal planes on the surface.
Such wiring layers are separated by layers of fiberglass filled epoxy (FR4 and G10). Connections between wiring layers are formed by drilling holes and plating the holes with copper to form plated through holes (PTHs). The power planes are pre-patterned with openings so that not all PTHs are required to connect to all the power planes. The PTHs and their surrounding lands require substantial surface area which can not be easily reduced because plating requires circulation of fluids in the holes.
More exotic circuit boards include multiple exterior signal wiring layers which may be separated by thin dielectric layers known as thin film. In order to provide higher density of conductors and pads, holes are formed through the thin dielectric layers by photolithography (producing photo vias) and plated to electrically connect between adjacent exterior wiring layers.
In subtractive processing, copper is plated over the entire surface of the substrate and onto the walls of through holes. Usually the copper is provided by electrolessly plating a thin strike layer, then electroplating a thick coating over the strike layer. Then the surface is coated with a photoresist that tents over the through holes, the photoresist is exposed and developed to provide a pattern that covers only the desired copper, and then the exposed copper is etched away to form an exterior wiring layer.
Another commonly used process is partial additive or semi-additive plating. In this process a very thin flash layer of copper is electrolessly deposited over the entire surface and in the through holes. Then the surface is coated with a photoresist which is exposed and developed to provide a pattern that covers the flash layer except the desired wiring pattern. Then copper is electroplated onto the exposed portion of the strike layer, a protective metal may be electroplated over the copper, the photoresist is stripped away, and the exposed flash layer is etched away.
In electroless plating the surface of a substrate is seeded by a catalyst material and then submerged in an electroless plating bath in which copper is chemically plated over the catalyst without providing any external electrical potentials. Deposition by electroless plating requires far more time than electroplating; thus, electroless plating is commonly used only for a thin layer called a flash or strike layer to allow subsequent electroplating.
For providing very fine conductors, full additive electroless copper plating is preferred in order to provide finer conductors and eliminate the risk of tenting failure causing etching away of copper plated in very small photo vias. In one method the surface is seeded, then a photoresist pattern is formed over the surface, a wiring layer is electrolessly formed at openings in the photoresist pattern, the photoresist is stripped and the remaining catalyst is removed. Alternately, the photoresist is deposited and patterned, the seeding layer is deposited over the exposed surface of the substrate and photoresist and then the photoresist is stripped to remove the undesired copper.

In the inventions of Applicants, a layer of fluid containing surfactant is applied over a catalyst layer on a substrate and the wet substrate is treated in an electroless bath. The level of surfactant in the bath is approximately ascertained by determining the surface tension of the electroless solution and surfactant is metered into the bath depending on the determination of surface tension.
The invention reduces the number of voids in a full electroless additive circuitization of small features which allows very fine line widths and very small pad sizes to be reliably formed. The invention allows flip chip and wire bond pads to be reliably formed on organic surfaced component substrates and also on organic surfaced circuit board substrates to greatly increase device density on the circuit board. The invention includes circuit boards made by the process of the invention in which surface mount components may be placed at a higher density to allow reduced signal flight times and faster circuit board speeds. Furthermore, the invention includes a computer system which operates faster due to the shorter signal flight times which result from the higher wiring densities of the invention.
Other features and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the presently preferred embodiments of the invention illustrated by these drawings.

FIGS. 2(a)-2(b) is another flow diagram illustrating an alternative specific embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 3 schematically shows a portion of a circuit board assembly of the invention.
FIGS. 4(a)-(d) schematically shows a portion of the manufacturing line for making another embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 5 schematically shows a computer system of the invention.
In steps 100-108 of FIG. 1(a), a substrate structure is formed. The substrate may include ceramic plies (e.g. alumina, or berillia); or a metal plies (e.g. Cu, Al, Invar, Kovar, or Cu-Invar-Cu) covered with dielectric material (e.g. polyimide, or epoxy); or organic plies (e.g. epoxy) preferably filled with axially stiff fibers (fiberglass or polyaride fibers); or flexible plies of dielectric films (polyimide).
As shown in FIG. 1(a) in step 100, a B-stage epoxy sheet is made such as directing continuous woven fiberglass through a bath of epoxy precursor to form a sheet, and heating the sheet to partially cure the sheet to form a B-stage. Then in step 102, the sheet is cut into plies. Copper foils are formed for wiring layers openings are punched in the foils for internal power planes which do not connect to vias which will be drilled through the openings. In step 106, a stack of B-stage plies separated and covered with metal foils is formed and in step 108, the stack is laminated with heat and pressure. For example, in FIG. 3, circuit board substrate 302 includes two buried metal wiring layers 304, 306 (power and ground planes) and three dielectric layers 308, 310, 312. The dielectric layers may be ceramic or organic material or metal covered with dielectric. The substrate may have buried vias such as hole 316 which is an unplated hole filled with an electroconductive material such as epoxy filled with copper particles; or hole 318 which is a plated through hole (PTH) filled with thermoconductive material such as epoxy filled with glass particles. Metal such as copper will be plated over the filled holes.
The metalized surface of the substrate structure may be vapor blasted and/or treated in a chloriting bath and/or micro-etched and/or treated with pumice to increase adhesion to a photoresist.
In step 110 of FIG. 1(b), a layer of first photoresist is formed over the continuous layer of metal. Preferably a dry film photoresist about 0.1 to about 4.0 mils thick is used. Alternately a liquid photoresist may be applied for example by spinning. In step 112, the photoresist is exposed to a pattern of electromagnetic radiation or a particle beam. The radiation may be produced in a pattern using a laser or a source of visible light, UV light, or X-ray may be directed through a mask to form a pattern. The type of radiation or particle beam depends on the availability of equipment and the chemistry of the photoresist. In step 114, the photoresist is developed to form a first pattern of photoresist. Development usually includes rinsing with a solvent such as deionized water. The solvent is selected depending on the chemistry of the photoresist. The pattern covers portions of the metal layer which will form a wiring layer on the surface of the substrate. Other portions of the continuous metal layer are exposed and in step 116, the exposed portions of the metal are etched away to form a first wiring layer (signal layer). For copper the preferred etchant is cupric chloride, but other etchants may be used. The first wiring layer 330 and 332 is shown in FIG. 3. In step 118 of FIG. 1(b), the etchant is rinsed away, and in step 120, the first photoresist is stripped away.
The photoresist may be a positive resist in which case the photoresist is exposed and the exposed portions become softened and are rinsed away to form the photoresist pattern and after etching the remaining photoresist is blanket exposed and rinsed away to strip the photoresist off the patterned wiring layer. In patterning negative photoresists, the exposed portions become hardened and the unexposed portions are rinsed away then after etching the pattern of the negative photoresist is removed using a solvent or enchant.
In step 122, the substrate structure is rinsed with deionized water and in step 124, the substrate is dried at an elevated temperature. The drying may include blowing heated air on the substrate in a convection oven.
The following steps 130-192 may be performed sequentially once or multiple times as desired, to provide one or more wiring layers on each of the surfaces of the substrate.
In step 130 in FIG. 1(c), a layer of photoimagable dielectric is formed over the exterior wiring layer. Again, a dry film photoresist is preferred. The photoimagable dielectric can be the same material or a different material than the first photoresist and either a positive or negative photoresist.
In step 132, the photoimagable dielectric is exposed as described above, and in step 134, it is developed as described above to form a pattern of photoimagable dielectric. Preferably as shown in FIG. 3, the pattern of photoresist layers 336,338 consist only of via holes such as at 340, 342 that extend through the photoresist over pads or conductors of the first wiring layer. In step 136, the photoimagable dielectric is treated to make it permanent for example by baking a positive photoresist so that it is not effected by subsequent exposure to light and subsequent plating, etching, and developing steps. This step may not be required for some negative photoresists. In step 138, the structure is rinsed in deionized water and in step 140, is dried at elevated temperature as discussed above.
In step 150 in FIG. 1(d), a third layer of photoresist is formed over the permanent photoimagable dielectric, and in step 152, the third photoresist is exposed as described above. In step 154, the third photoresist is developed to form a pattern of third photoresist.
The following steps 156 and 158 may be performed for any layer for electrical connection between layers. For buried layers preferably the holes are filled with electro-conductive organic material or are plated and filled with organic material which may be thermoconductive as described above. The steps 156, 158 are also performed when forming the last wiring layer on the surfaces of the substrate when PIH components are to be connected. For example in FIG. 3, three external wiring layers are provided and PTH 344 is provided when forming the final wiring layer for interconnection and/or PIH component connection.
In step 156 of FIG. 1(d), holes are formed through the substrate to provide PTHs for PIH components and/or wiring layer interconnection. The holes may be formed by laser drilling, punching, or by mechanical drilling using a drill bit. In step 158, the holes are treated to remove debris and improve electrical connection. For holes mechanically formed using a drill bit, the holes should be deburred and chemically cleaned in step 158, to remove smear from internal wiring layers for electrical connection thereto. In step 160, the substrate is rinsed in deionized water.
In steps 170-192 of FIG. 1(e), the surface of the substrate including the photoimagable dielectric as well as the walls of the photo-vias and any holes for PIH components, are subjected to an electroless plating process. In step 170, the surfaces are cleaned and micro-etched in an acid bath and in step 172, the surfaces are rinsed in deionized water. In step 174, the surfaces are seeded for electroless metal plating and in step 176, the seeded layer is rinsed with deionized water. In step 178, a solution of surfactant is deposited on the surfaces and then the surfaces are immediately exposed to an electroless plating solution. Applicants have discovered that coating the surfaces of the substrate with surfactant solution immediately prior to electroless plating greatly reduces the number of voids in very fine circuit lines and very small pads formed by full additive electroless plating. A residual amount of surfactant on the substrate appears to be more effective than just providing surfactant in the plating bath. However, the surface tension in the plating bath also contributes to reducing the voids as discussed below. In step 180, the surface tension of the electroless plating solution is determined and in step 182, the metering of surfactant into the plating bath is regulated depending on the determination of surface tension. Applicants have discovered that regulating the surface tension is critical for reliably forming void free very fine lines and very small pads during full additive electroless plating. The surface tension is controlled by adjusting the level of surfactant in the plating solution. The expense of determining the level of surfactant may be greatly reduced by measuring the surface tension (rather than the level of surfactant). Since the voids seem to be related to air bubbles trapped on the surface and in the holes and vias, the level of surface tension is the critical variable that need to be kept constant.
In step 184, a full thickness of metal is formed on the seeded surfaces by electroless plating. Preferably the coating is copper with a thickness of 0.2 to 4 oz of Cu per square foot, more preferably about 1 oz (0.5-2 oz) per square foot. Preferably the copper is at least 1 mil thick in any plated through holes. Finally in step 186, the layer of third photoresist is stripped to remove plated metal covering the third photoresist and form a second wiring layer. Alternatively, the surface of the substrate may be flattened using chemical-mechanical polishing to remove any metal plating the third photoresist to form the second wiring layer, and the third photoresist layer may be treated as described above to make it permanent.
In step 188, the substrate is exposed to acid to clean the substrate and micro-etch the surface for adhesion to the next layer of photoresist or solder resist.
In FIG. 3, three external wiring layers are shown. This structure is produced by performing steps 130-192 twice in succession. In steps 200-212 of FIG. 1(f), surface mount technology (SMT) components (leaded and BGA), flip chips, and/or wire bond chips are connected to the substrate to form a circuit board assembly or a chip carrier module. In step 200, a solder resist is applied to the surfaces of the circuit board to prevent solder from wicking down conductors away from SMT connection pads and any lands for PIH connection. The solder resist may be a photoimagable dielectric or a common solder resist. The solder resist may be applied by roll coating, curtain coating, print screening, or lamination of a dry layer onto the surface. Then in step 202, windows may be formed photolithographically in the solder resist over pads for surface mount components and lands for PIH components. For screened solder resist larger windows may be formed during screening onto the wiring layer and smaller windows formed by photo processing if required. In FIG. 3, windows 350, 351, 352 expose pads 354, 355, 356 respectively for flip chip 358, leaded component 359, and BGA component 360 respectively. Pads 354 are spaced 5 to 15 mils apart for connection of the flip chip or wire bond chip, pads 355 are spaced at 10 to 30 mils for leaded components, and pads 356 are spaced at 30 to 50 mils for connection of a BGA module.
The circuitized substrate of the invention has improved wirability due to reduced via diameters and reduced land diameters of the first and second wiring layer. In step 204 of FIG. 1(f), joining material 370 (FIG. 3) is screened into the windows onto the pads for surface mount connection. Alternately the joining material may be screened onto the component terminals or the pads or terminals may otherwise be coated with joining material. The joining material may be an ECA with conductive particles or a TLP system or a solder paste or a solder alloy may be provided on the pads or terminals and a flux applied to the pads and/or terminals for soldered connection. Solder paste consists of liquid flux and metal particles which melt during reflow heating to form molten solder alloy such as approximately eutectic Pb/Sn solder (e.g. Pb and 30-80% Sn preferably 55-70% Sn). In step 206, the terminals (balls, leads, pads) of surface mount components are positioned at the pads (close enough for reflowed connection between the pads and the terminals). In step 208, the solder material is cured. For solder paste the curing includes heating the paste above the melting temperature of the solder alloy. In step 210, the joining material is cooled to form solid joints between the terminals and pads.
When PIH components are required then steps 220-228 of FIG. 1(j) are also performed. In step 220, PIH components are placed on the substrate with pins or leads of the component in PTHS. In step 222, flux is applied into the holes to provide a more solder wettable metal surface. In step 224, the substrate is moved over a wave or fountain of solder in contact with the molten solder which wets to lands on the bottom of the board and fills the PTHs by capillary action (surface tension). Then in step 226, the solder is cooled to form solid joints of solder alloy.
Alternatively, solder paste may be applied to the top surface of the substrate over the lands around the PTHs and the pins of the components inserted through the paste deposits. Then during reflow for the surface mount components the solder paste reflows to form solder alloy which fills up the respective PTH.
Steps 250-284 in FIGS. 2(a)-29(b), illustrate an alternative embodiment for the steps 170-192 of FIG. 1(e) of the process of the invention for forming additional wiring layers such as a second wiring layer on each side of the substrate. FIG. 1(e) illustrates an additive process and FIGS. 2(a)-2(b) illustrate a subtractive embodiment. Steps 250-264 in FIG. 2(a) are similar to steps 156-184 and the above discussion thereof applies. Also, steps 270 286 are similar to steps 110-124 in FIG. 1(b) and the above discussion thereof applies.
FIG. 4(a)-FIG. 4(d), illustrate a manufacturing line for another embodiment of the invention. Some process steps such as optional hole drilling for plated through holes discussed above, have intentionally been left out of the following process described for illustrative purposes. Substrate 400 is provided from rolls 402 and first photoimagable dielectric 404, 406 from rolls 408, 410 is laminated with heat and pressure to substrate 400 in oven 412 by heated rollers 414, 416 to form structure 418. The substrate in this embodiment is a patterned copper film or an organic substrate with surface wiring layers. Those skilled in the art will know how to modify this embodiment for substrates with dielectric surfaces.
A source of light 420 is culminated by lens 422 and patterned by mask 424 to expose a part of the photoimagable dielectric 404, 406. At station 430, development fluid 432 is delivered by pump 434 to nozzle 436 and sprayed onto the substrate structure 418 to remove the exposed portion of the photoimagable dielectric which is preferably via holes. At station 440 the structure is micro etched by acid 442, and the structure is rinsed in station 450. The structure is baked in convection oven 452 until dry. The substrate may be rolled and stored at this stage or the process may continue immediately.
In FIG. 4(b), in oven 454 second layers of photoimagable dielectric 456, 458 are laminated to each side of the structure 418 with heat and pressure using rolls 460, 462 to form structure 464. After each lamination step in this process the substrate may be rolled and stored for later processing or the process may continue immediately. In station 470 lasers 472, 474 pattern the second layers of photoimagable dielectric. In station 473 which is similar to station 430, the second layers of photoimagable dielectric are developed. In station 474 structure 464 is micro-etched and in station 476 the substrate structure is rinsed.
In FIG. 4(c), in station 478 the surface of the substrate is catalyzed and in station 480 the catalyzed surface is rinsed. In station 482 solution with surfactant is deposited on the substrate and in station 484 copper is electrolessly plated on structure 464. In station 484 meter 486 determines the surface tension of plating solution 488 and transmits a value signal to computer system 490. The computer controls a valve 492 that regulates the flow of surfactant from source 494 into the plating solution. In station 496 the surface of the substrate structure is planarized to form an external wiring pattern and in station 498 the structure is rinsed, and in station 499 the structure is dried. Again, at this stage the substrate structure may be rolled up for later processing or processing may continue.
In FIG. 4(d), in oven 500 layers of solder resist 502, 504 are laminated to each side of the structure 464 with heat and pressure using hot rolls 506, 508 to form structure 510. Then mask 512 of a non solder wettable material is moved with the structure and solder 514 is injected into openings in the mask and onto the structure at pads for surface mount connection. The solder is cooled and the mask is separated from the structure. At station 520 components are placed on structure 510 with leads on solder on corresponding pads of the external wiring layer, and in oven 522 the solder is reflowed (heated to its liquidous temperature) to connect the components to the substrate. Finally in station 524 knives cut the substrate structure into individual circuit board assemblies or chip carrier assemblies 526.
FIG. 5 illustrates computer system 600 of the invention with increased performance due to higher component densities and resulting shorter signal flight time. The system includes an enclosure 602 in which a power supply 604 and one or more circuit boards 606, 608, 610 are mounted. The circuit boards communicate through interconnect bus 612. The circuit boards include multiple components including direct connect flip chips pin grid array module 614, thin small outline package 616, ceramic J-lead component 618, ball grid array module 620, quad flat pack 622, flip chip 624, column grid array module 626. The components, one or more CPUs, dynamic RAMs, static RAMS, and I/O processors, connect to ports 626, 628 for communication with computer peripherals such as keyboards, mice, displays, printers, modems, networks.
Although the invention has been described specifically in terms of preferred embodiments, such embodiments are provided only as examples. Those skilled in the art are expected to make numerous changes and substitutions, including those discussed above, in arriving at their own embodiments, without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Thus, the scope of the invention is only limited by the following claims.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Journal Broadcast, Time Warner still swinging; viewers being bloodied
While Journal Broadcast Group and Time Warner Cable continue to swing wildly at each other, neither has yet struck a knockout punch and viewers are the ones being bloodied. »Read Full Blog Post

What a bunch of nonsense. Bloodied....get real. At least the entertainment here is as good as what the Ch4 programing is. Lets get the numbers out here so we can decide who is right/wrong and what "pennies a day" really means. At least J/S is getting some revenue for their dueling ads.
Viewers bloodied? As the gecko in the Geico ad says, "Come off it, mate!"
Unlike a cable-only network, which requires carriage fees to operate, WTMJ is available FOR FREE over the air. No Time Warner cable subscriber has to miss any programming if they simply get a digital antenna.
In my opinion, WTMJ's bargaining position is weak. Since all the other networks are asking for more carriage fees, we are too. When does the madness stop?
Props to Time Warner for telling WTMJ to shove it.Hide replies
I agree completely. Leave it off the air. I love TMJ, but I'm already payng too much for it and will probably drop cable soon and just use Netflix or Hulu. Regualr TV is all commercials, I NEVER watch tv anymore, almost never.
1) The numbers are out there. I've reported them. Look it up.
2) Did CBS tell me to mention their O&O blackout too? Both happening same time.
3) Last year I wrote updates, columns, front page story on WISN-TV blackout too.
4) This or something similar could happen to WITI and WDJT in months and years ahead, so it bears watching. Will you complain about that coverage?
5) A local station loses estimated 50,000 viewers daily because of an ongoing dispute? Could affect fall season, football. That's news, whatever the station.
6) Other outlets reporting this as well.Hide replies
Well at least the Channel 12 viewers weren't bloodied. I feel bad for the channel 4 viewers who ARE bloodied by this. Both of them.
I would be more put off if WISN were blacked out, but I'd make do with an antenna. ABC has the most programming of network TV that I watch (which is still little) and their local news is the least annoying of the WISN/WTMJ/WITI options. I'd rather get a root canal than watch the WITI morning news team.
BTW, Channel 12 was off TWC for a week. July 12-19 last year. There was a blog post on the 13th, one on the 16th about a reader who got a refund, the 18th that a settlement was close and the 19th that 12 was back on the air at TWC. I may have missed the blogs about viewers being bloodied and about Channel 12 crying to the state for help.
Reasonable, actually if I recall correctly, the Channel 12 black out was not TWC, it was either Dish or Direct TV.
Duane, you forgot to mention one.
1) That you are employed and get a paycheck by the same company that owns WTMJ so of course you will exaggerate and say that viewers are being bloodied.
Way to keep your journalistic objective here.
If WTMJ REALLY cared about its viewers it would post all its newscasts and shows online either as a live stream or at least on-demand.
In the case of network or syndicated shows, they could at least provide the links on the main page of their website which they currently do not.
All Journal broadcast is looking like are some arrogant money hungry jerks. Time Warner is terrible as a cable company, but it takes two to tangle in this mess. Shame on you for not saying it any different!!!
Drop your prices and stop hurting consumers, that's the answer. We pay so much to TWC because all the programmers keep raising prices. You local guys are going away and you better get lean and mean or the end is near. Few football games? Whatever, I don't care.
Viewers bloodied? A little much don't you think? If I wanted to read a tabloid, I would purchase one. As a 3 time Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper, how in good conscience can a headline like this be published? It affects the integrity of the newspaper, as well as any information presented in the article.Hide replies
Maybe they're trying out for the:
Wait for it.......
Wait for it....
"Pugilister Prize"
The 21 day dispute has shown me how little I watch WTMJ-4. I have not missed it one bit. My opinion will change when it gets to regular season NFL, and the new seasons of Parks and Recreation and Community.Hide replies
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think that #4 carries the regular season games. I think that those are all on Fox and ESPN, now?
3 regular season games are on NBC. So yes, this will affect regular season.
First one isn't until October 27.
If this dispute is still going on in October, JC will be in a full court press to the public about missing the Packers game, even though it can be still accessed with an antenna.
If the dispute is still going in October it will be an absolute gold mine for the bars and restaurants lucky enough not to have TWC
I literally laughed out loud when Wexler came on at the half time of the Packers game in his Packers uniform....
I literally laughed out loud when Wexler came on at the half time of the Packers game in his Packers uniform....Hide replies
That was gold Jerry, gold.
Can we all agree that with Journal Communications reaching out to the State of Wisconsin, as well as, in constant barrage of banner ads, and increasingly sensationalistic headlines/articles regarding the TWC/ JC negotiations, that JC is losing the battle of public opinion? JC is requesting the rate increase. At anytime JC can change their requested amount. This is a negotiation. What JC is demonstrating is that they are falsely assuming their value to viewers in Metro Milwaukee. Since TMJ4 can be accessed via a digital antenna, JC does not have the leverage in negotiations like a cable only network.
I understand that Duane is doing the work of his employer and reporting from his employer's prospective. What I have not seen, nor remember in any article, is what is the current retranmission fee JC is receiving from TWC, and what is the new rate now being requested? Furthermore, how does the current fees and the proposed fees standup against the other local TV stations? Moreover, how does the retransmission fee compare to other cable only networks shown on TWC? Is this information even publicly available?Hide replies
arbaird, answering those questions would require real reporting, something Duane Dudek hasn't done since 1989.
Just isn't the same without all of those field reporters waiting for snow at the Ryan Road Truck Stop, Gehrkes Corner Park & Ride, etc, and I DO miss seeing Courtny Garrish and Jesse Rippka. Beyond that, DON'T miss that constant and annoying BREAKING NEWS NOW alert with regard to news stories that have been reported on for the two previous days.Hide replies
Don't you miss Dirty Dining? It's WTMZ at it's finest.
And the continuous STORM TEAM 4 Tracker interruptions, and today's forecast is both sunny, cloudy, hot then cold, then hot again and snow blizzard giving way to the heat advisory ...
This MUST be settled by the time the camera car hits the road!!! How can I ever leave the house in Winter without that valuable news tool!!!!!!
This is just one more reason to drop TWC, that absolute worst company to deal with ever ...

We all recognize the books that made it into the New Testament. The process by which the Canon was formed is interesting. There were many others that did not get included: Letter of Corinthians to Paul, 3 Corinthians, Laodiceans, 1 Clement, 2 Clement, Shepherd of Hermas, Epistle of Barnabas and the Didache or Teaching of the Twelve Apostles. There were also a number of Gospels such as Thomas, First Infancy Gospel of Jesus Christ, Nicodemus Judas. There were Acts of Paul and Peter that did not make it. The New Testament did not come with a table of contents. The Bible doesn't tell us what is inspired, the church does.
The early church had many different opinions about what to consider inspired. Scripture Scholar Raymond Brown wrote a book entitled "The Churches the Apostles left behind" which described the different faith communities in the early century. Bart Erdman, a church historian from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, published a book entitled "Lost Christianities." Both write about a time before the Catholic church emerged as the orthodox expression of Christianity.
When the Catholic church commissioned Jerome in 383 CE to translate the scriptures into Latin for the people, the version known as the Vulgate, they had to settle differences of opinion on what to translate. The Vulgate Canon was affirmed by the Council of Hippo in 393, Council of Carthage in 397 and finally at the Council of Trent. The Protestant Reformers accepted the New Testament Canon of the Catholic church. Martin Luther did attempt to remove Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation from the Canon because he believed they went against certain Protestant doctrines such as sola scriptura and sola fide. His followers did not accept that opinion.
It appears that the principle criteria used by the church in making its decision was what books were being used at liturgy. The idea was that they used "sacred" texts in worship while the other writings may have been popular in other settings. Additional considerations were: Universal acceptance and Apostolic Origin, that is based upon the teaching of first generation of Apostles.
What happened to those books not included? Some like the Apostles' Creed and the Didache remained as part of the church's library of important writings. Some of the others like the Infancy Gospels of Mary and Jesus Christ became part of the devotional literature of the church because of information they contained. For example we find the names of Mary's parents, the grandparents of Jesus, in the Gospel of Birth of Mary. It also tells the story of how Joseph became her husband.
When it came to using valuable resources necessary to copy important books, those of lessor importance were not copied.

Vestiges of Proposition J, a sweeping downtown revitalization plan defeated by Del Mar voters in this month's election, may end up back on the table as part of the city's "to do" list for the coming years.
Current City Council members, along with incoming council members Al Corti and Sherryl Parks, met in a four-hour workshop Monday to clarify the city's goals, brainstorm projects and begin setting council priorities for the next two years.
At least one goal and several suggested projects referenced portions of the recently defeated downtown revitalization initiative. Faced with a state requirement to provide locations where affordable housing could be built, city staff has looked at rezoning certain downtown districts to allow for residential expansion — an element from the Village Specific Plan, which was what voters were presented with in Proposition J.
At Monday's workshop, the council listed the housing element as a "must do."
"We're looking at our options and exploring what we can do," said City Manager Scott Huth. "We've obviously done some research on how that could happen for the Village Specific Plan, but I would be hesitant to say the council has taken any action to commit to a very specific course of action as it relates to housing in commercial areas."
Another segment of Proposition J that dealt with improvements to public property was added to the list of possible projects for coming years. That segment of the plan involved streetscapes, sidewalks and landscaping.
"The notion of moving us toward a safe, pedestrian-friendly environment in our downtown area is something that Del Mar needs to do," said outgoing Councilman Mark Filanc, who suggested the item.
Installing temporary roundabouts was also added to the list, a rather contentious element of November's proposition.
"From the standpoint of any of (Proposition J's) components, if there is a desire from council to move forward on any of those, the council will do that during public meetings and people will have the opportunity to voice their opinion and give feedback," said Huth.
More than 40 additional projects were discussed, including developing a Master Plan for the Del Mar Shores Park; constructing a public parking structure; refurbishing City Hall; updating the Community Plan; and developing a pedestrian and bicycle plan for the city.
Monday's workshop was only one step toward a solid road map for the coming years, said Huth. More projects may surface when the city tackles its 10-year Capital Improvement Plan and operational budget next year.
"It really comes down to resources," he said. "We don't have enough money to do everything the city has on its want list."
Huth said prioritization is going to be key as the process continues and projects listed during Monday's meeting may be altered or removed completely.
Proposition J was rejected by 58 percent of city voters who cast ballots in November and, in the aftermath of that defeat, city leaders are trying to break down what message voters were sending. Were they unhappy with specific portions of the measure or was the whole plan a wash?

On June 20, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") adopted rules to implement the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") that affect the composition of compensation committees, the use of compensation advisers by companies listed on national securities exchanges, and disclosure provided by companies regarding their use of compensation consultants. Under the rules as adopted, the national securities exchanges are directed to adopt listing standards regarding the independence of the members of the compensation committee, as well as the independence of advisers engaged by the compensation committee. Moreover, the rules require additional disclosure under Item 407 of Regulation S-K regarding any conflicts of interest raised by the work of compensation consultants.
Section 952 of the Dodd-Frank Act added Section 10C to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Section 10C requires that the SEC direct the national securities exchanges and associations to prohibit the listing of any company issuing equity securities, subject to limited exceptions, unless specific conditions are satisfied with respect to the authority of the compensation committee, the independence of the members of the compensation committee, and the consideration of specific factors relating to the independence of compensation advisers (consultants, legal counsel and other advisers) retained by the compensation committee.

It has taken the West Bengal government more than two months and the intervention of the Calcutta High Court to concede the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's (GJM) demand that the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) be consulted in the appointment of its principal secretary.
This is significant at a time when relations between the State government and the GJM leadership are under stress, though it left the latter somewhat confounded.
"The Court directed the State's Advocate General to ensure that a list with three names recommended for the post of GTA principal secretary be submitted by next Wednesday. But, about five minutes after we emerged from the courtroom, did we learn that the list had already reached Lalkuthi (the GTA headquarters) in Darjeeling earlier today [Friday]. It contained names of not three, but four senior IAS officers," GJM assistant secretary Benoy Tamang told The Hindu on Friday.
"What is most surprising is that it bore yesterday's [Thursday's] date," he added.
Mr. Tamang had filed a writ petition in the Court on March 25 against the Mamata Banerjee government, accusing it of violating the GTA agreement by unilaterally appointing the Darjeeling district magistrate as the GTA's principal secretary — an official whose removal was sought by the GTA Sabha in a resolution on February 6.
"We may have won the legal battle but what was revealed today is the utter lack of coordination between the State government and its Advocate General. The Court was told by the Advocate General earlier in the day that the list of names was ready and awaiting the signature of the Chief Minister who has been unwell," said Mr. Tamang, who is also a member of the GTA Sabha.
"Yes, this absence of coordination between the government and its counsel has left us confused though it is a welcome sign that our demand that the GTA be consulted in appointing its principal secretary has been met," said GJM general secretary Roshan Giri on the phone from Bagdogra airport. Continuing with the DM as GTA principal secretary ever since the body was set up has been a sticking point between the GJM that controls the GTA and the government.

IN HIS FIRST START OF THE 2012 SEASON FOR THE VANDALS, junior quarterback Dominique Blackman was effective at moving the Idaho offense as he went an impressive 30-of-37 for 352 yards, with one touchdown and an interception. But Idaho (0-2) had trouble punching it into the endzone at Bowling Green (1-1), settling for redzone field goals until Marquan Major connected with Blackman in the fourth.

There's probably no escaping the "Marvel ripoff" moniker that's going to inevitably be attached to Justice League. Reversing the order the movies come out in isn't going to change that.
The big question is: Can it work in the opposite direction?
Simple answer: yes.
It can work, but only if there are filmmakers (directors, writers, producers) who believe in and love the DC characters as much as the people who made the Marvel films loved theirs. Following the Marvel formula (take cues and influence from established stories, but create your own above being a slave to the comics) can and will work for the DC characters. It worked for all the Marvel movies leading up to Avengers (not all of the ones outside of that continuity and yes, even Incredible Hulk) and for the Nolan Batman films.
A smart move for Warner Bros. would be to use Man of Steel as a new jumping on point. Use it in a similar way to how Marvel Studios used Iron Man. If it's a hit, play off of it and keep people like David Goyer, Jonathan Nolan and Zack Snyder around.

Thread: Colour spaces
March 10th, 2012 #1
Colour spaces
Hey everyone,
I have been struggling for a while with my image uploads having drastically different colours to how they appear in PS. I'm currently using a friends laptop and whatever colour space I set photoshop to use (also converting said piece into the colour space) the uploads are still massively different. I have a mac at home but the uploads seem to be OK on that, I need to be using the two computers for making pieces published to iphone/ipad devices and suitable for sharing on the internet. What colour settings should I be using for this?
I have been trying what people have said in other threads, and can get images displaying correctly in browsers, but when I open them in windows image viewer the colour is massively more saturated and has insane amounts of contrast.
example: After converting the colour space PS was incorrect and the image upload was normal...
I have calibrated this monitor with a Spyder 3 unit FYI, that may have had some impact on the colour settings but as it stands this is way above my head. Any help would be appreciated greatly!

Got pretty much same problem, extreme annoying when you are working all the night, and finally when you think its finished, saved file seems to have all dark\grays dead
Usually my attempts to save grays is add white, or some bright color layer, with low opacity, like 10%,15% on the top of my pics. Maybe erase it a bit in very dark spots.
But i am pretty sure these is pretty wangle method.

There was a mention that there is a bug with CS5 on how it displays color space profiles. This was a lengthy thread on it with Painter and CS http://conceptart.org/forums/showpos...2&postcount=19 (I just went to the post that mentions that there is a problem). But since there are mentions of CS4...
You generally want the color space to be sRGB. You want to make sure your system color space is not different from Adobe's as well.
There is an sRGB profile something like sRGB "IEC 61966-2-1 " - Ignore the ones that have noBPC and BPC (there should be a profile without those) BPC is "Black Point Compensation" This is what I know for Windows.

Rambo Gallery
Twenty years after the last installment in the film series, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has retreated to northern Thailand, where he works on a longboat on the Salween River. On the nearby Thailand-Burma (Myanmar) border, the Burmese-Karen conflict, the world's longest-running civil war, rages into its 60th year. But Rambo, who lives a solitary life in the jungle-covered mountains, fishing and catching poisonous snakes to sell, has long given up fighting, even as medics, rebels and refugees pass by on their way through the war-torn region. That all changes when a group of missionaries search out the "American river guide"… Check out some early photos…

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Boaz Myhill admits there was bitterness inside the away dressing room after their draw at Chelsea.
WBA conceded a controversial penalty late on which saw Chelsea clinch an undeserved 2-2 draw.
"I feel distraught that we haven't won that game, especially with the way it happened," said Myhill to the WBA website.
"I would have been more than happy if they'd done something spectacular or if they'd broken us down.
"We did everything we needed to do to win and that's what makes it more difficult to take. As a team we're bitterly disappointed to have not won the game.
"But we have to take it on the chin and move on."

Spring is a perfect time to add a pretty little bow on your packages and party decor. For this template I have included four sizes from the large bow that I used for my holiday decor to tiny version that I used for the mini bow oil cloth rings, along with two sizes in between. These are outline templates that you can print onto your pretty paper, or print in card stock and use to outline onto you paper. For those of you who have a cutting machine I am also including the SVG file to make these bows. Once you have your bows cut and ready to assemble, you can use the tutorial in this post. Enjoy the bow templates and let me know all the places you will be using them this spring! ~ Lia

Sometimes it is hard to imagine a world outside of our own. We go from day to day accomplishing tasks and living our lives, but we do not always think of how other people are living this same routine in other countries around the world. We are all guilty of ethnocentrism from time to time. For this reason, it is time to go on a journey; a journey to a land 5,000 miles away where one can experience a new world outside of the Madison County vista.
I am currently studying abroad in Viña del Mar and Valparaíso, Chile. During my stay I would love to demonstrate that studying and traveling abroad is a truly eye-opening experience that I recommend to anyone, young or old. If traveling is out of the question please do not feel slighted, America is one of the best places to learn about other cultures from around the world thanks to the melting pot that is American culture. Take advantage of that, and learn to embrace the differences that make living in a diverse world so intriguing.
Without further ado, let me begin by explaining why I am in Chile and how it has affected my life so far. I am a senior at The Ohio State University where I am majoring in Spanish with a minor in Sociology. This major requires me to study abroad at some point and now is the time! I will be studying for four weeks at a local university called the Catholic Pontifical University of Valparaíso. After taking two classes in Spanish at the university; I will begin a six-week internship at an English language institute also in Valparaíso. Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are sister cities situated on the coast in the central region of Chile and are about two hours West of the capital, Santiago, by bus.
My first impression of this country was one of absolute surprise and delight. I have travelled to a few different countries before, two of them in Latin American, and I expected the same type of economic depression that I have seen before. Since my arrival in early May, I have been astounded by Chile's beautifully kept paved roads, high-rise buildings, malls, stores and modern conveniences that cannot be found in less developed countries.
Every day, I am more and more impressed with the rich Chilean culture. Chile is not very ethnically diverse for reasons that are revealed in its intriguing history that I will leave for my readers to discover. I stick out like a sore thumb here because of this lack of ethnic diversity. I am above average height for a woman, have very pale skin and blue eyes. I cannot hide my roots in order to blend in here as some of the other students in my program are able to do. I do not say this because I am ashamed of my heritage, but rather because it is annoying to be stared at wherever I go because I look different. I recently realized I can never fit into this culture completely and will always stick out, so now I am left to decide what attitude I will adopt. I could be hostile and angry, or I could choose to embrace a culture that is very different from mine and let the locals teach me knew things about their way of life.
Whenever traveling to a foreign country, it is possible to experience culture shock. I have experienced some culture shock here and even though it is very small, it has been a hard adjustment. Through time and effort, I have learned to adjust to eating meals with Chileans and also the prominence of public displays of affection between couples. I have learned that it is improper to eat with one's hands. This means even that big juicy hamburger from Five Guys. Burgers and fries needs to be cut up with a knife and eaten with a fork. This seems strange at first, but in every culture there are reasons for the actions the people take. The adventure is finding the reason behind these actions. In Chile, eating at the table with one hand resting on one's leg is also improper. Instead, Chileans eat with their unused hand resting beside their plate on the table. Eating this way has been hard for me because I am used to eating with one hand resting on my leg while eating. At every meal it is a conscious effort for me to use proper Chilean manners at the table.
The second major adjustment for me has been, as I mentioned, the amount of public displays of affection between couples. Our culture in the United States is very conservative when it comes to showing the general public one's adoration for their significant other. In general, public displays of affection, such as a young couple kissing in public view is very uncomfortable to watch. At times, it is even frowned upon. Here in Chile, wherever you go, there is the potential to feel uncomfortable because of these public displays. However, no harm is done to anyone and there is no reason to get angry because of them. I am learning to simply ignore these displays and accept them as part of the Chilean culture. Chileans are a generally warm-hearted people and tend to greet everyone with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. The general love and affection of the Chilean people is so refreshing.
As the days and weeks pass by, there are bound to be more things that intrigue me or even make me feel uncomfortable. This is part of adapting to and learning a new culture. However, my success ultimately depends on the attitude I take towards new ideas and ways of living. Join me throughout my adventure to Chile and learn about one of the many rich cultures in our vast and beautiful world. The journey does not end here, so please stay tuned for more updates. It is my hope that by the end of my journey, we will have together learned something new about Chilean culture and living outside of the United States.
Ashley Stickel, of Madison County, is senior student studying Spanish at The Ohio State University, expecting to graduate in December. She is currently studying abroad in Valparaîso, Chile, where she is attending a local university and interning for a community organization.

Rate is with KOA discount for FHU and cable. Paved roads and concrete pads. The 50 amp receptacle did not pass surgeguard test. On site restaurant and bar was enjoyable. Good Verizon cell/MiFi reception. We would return. - Dave51

If all KOAs were this nice it would change my opinion of them. Beautiful park,great sites. Only complaint is the wifi is the crappy tengo internet. When I asked why it was so slow the response was that it was for email only. If you offer wifi then make it fast or don't offer it at all. - Walking thunder

Thank goodness there was a cancellation for Memorial Day weekend 2014. The "Keep it Yellow" KOA team helped my family have a great time with clean facilities, kid friendly activity and live music each evening! The RV slots are well plotted and kept clean with wide entrances. Each slot has a private area for families and a fire pit. The swimming pool was great fun; this KOA had a clean beach front too! Everyone parked here are friendly, clean and we felt safe here. The bathrooms were large and clean and they were never out of toilet paper or paper towels for hand washing! The staff were friendly and gave good advise to this rookie RV'er. I will go again! - doghousedoug

Sites are level and spacious. Easy access off the highway. New restaurant coming soon. Lake is almost full. - Poppopc

We spent one night. Check in was easy, staff was very friendly and helpful. Saw several staff cleaning various areas throughout our stay. My husband showered in the evening and I used the showers in the morning. They were spotless both times even though the park was very busy. The only disappointment was the on site restaurant was closed and we were not informed of this until check in. The up side was we had a wonderful dinner at Jerry's which was just down the street. Our site was a level concrete pad and well taken care of with a picnic table and fire pit. - Texas_P_Pod
Oct 2014 - $30.00
We stayed here 2 Sundays in a row in Mid-October on our way to and from Ft. Hood, TX. We had a level, cement, FHU site. In reference to a previous reviewer complaint concerning their cable system requiring folks with old TVs to use a cable box, this is a cable provider issue, not a RV park issue. At least here, we were able to use their system without the box since both our TVs are digital. We have been to dozens of parks this year where you had to use the box or not get cable at all no matter what kind of TVs you had. This is a very good park with roomy sites, great views and sunsets, nice pool area by the lake shore, a boat ramp and marina, a restaurant, and a playground, etc. Unfortunately, their 802.11 network is Tengo - a big negative. Except for aluminum cans, there is no recycling. We had no problem with fire ants and I can walk 100 feet or yards to put my garbage in a dumpster. The laundry is only 3 of each machine (definitely inadequate for this park) and one washer was broken. The individual bathrooms are in three locations throughout the park. This is a weekend getaway for locals so the summer season and most weekends are crowded. The staff I dealt with were friendly and helpful. - Jerry S

This is a great park. All of the spots have a view of the water. We stayed for a week @ $250.00, which was the Premium rate. You could book the Standard for a little cheaper and still have a view. Nice level concrete spots, fenced dog run area, really well kept grounds, Cable and Wi-Fi worked great! The office was really friendly and welcoming. - gypsy_tic
Apr 2015 - $48.00
We thought we were going to a nice park for a long holiday weekend. The website and price led us to believe this. This park is trying, but is not there. Most of the amenities were under repair and not available. The sites are the most cramped sites that I have experienced. They are very close! The sites are terribly unlevel back to front. My rear bumper almost on the ground with the front end almost 4 feet in the air. There was no fire ring. Ground crews came through and edged the site while we were gone. They flipped grass against our trailer and all over our grill, ice maker, etc. They did not clean up after themselves. The park also had many full timers with a lot of junk about. We will not be back. - HJH
Aug 2014 - $35.00
Nice park with clean restrooms and laundry room. They also have a fitness room with hot tub (we did not use either). The splash pad for younger kids is inviting. The beach area is raked daily and nice. Rentals are available for kayaking and board paddle. Of course if you have any of your own water toys there is plenty of lake to enjoy. The only level sites are on the water and each row back gets more uneven. We moved 4 times before a waterfront site become available. The office staff is wonderful, they work to make your stay enjoyable. So why not a 10 rating? 1. The numerous unlevel sites (Fifth wheels did manage better). 2. The smell from the dumpsters. 3. The stench from the fish cleaning station on the lake,(the dumpsters are one end of the park and the fish station on the other end). On the weekend when the park is full - you are going to smell one or the other, maybe both. 4. When they edge, grass clippings fly up onto your motorhome. We would consider staying here again, the grand-kids loved it. - JMTP

Needs renovating, but office staff are great. Spaces too close together and a swamp when it rains, and it is too expensive for having no amenities, but it is on the water and the view is great. There is a bar there now, so don't stay there unless you don't mind hearing "boom-da-boom da boom' until 2 AM. - 3dogsnight
