Integrated circuit bonding pads are sealed by a surface passivation coating. The bonding pads are first edge-sealed by means of a first applied passivation coating that overlaps the edges of the bonding pad while leaving the central area uncoated. Then, a sequence of metal layers applied to overlap the open central area of the bonding pad. The layer sequence includes an optional first adherence layer such as aluminum, a barrier metal layer such as titanium-tungsten alloy, and an outer noble metal layer such as gold. Then, a second passivation layer is applied so as to overlap and seal the edges of the sequence of metal layers so as to leave only the central portion of the noble metal layer exposed. Electrical contact to the IC is then made to the exposed noble metal in the conventional manner. With respect to the passivating coatings, either or both can be silicon dioxide overcoated with silicon nitride. Furthermore, the second passivating coating can include either low melting glass that is spun-on using a powdered-glass slurry or it can be an organic, such as a polyimide monomer, spun-on in liquid form.
1. A die sealing bonding pad structure for use as an integrated circuit bonding pad that includes a noble metal bonding face and sealed edges that are protected from adverse environments, said bonding pad structure comprising:
an aluminum bonding pad located on a semiconductor integrated circuit;
a first passivation layer overlapping the edges of said aluminum bonding pad whereby the central region is not covered by said first passivation layer;
a sequence of conductive layers overlying said aluminum bonding pad and having edges that overlap said first passivation layer, said sequence comprising at least a barrier metal layer and a noble metal outer layer, said barrier layer operating to metallurgically isolate said noble metal from said aluminum; and
a second passivation layer overlapping the edges of said sequence of conductive layers whereby the central region of said noble metal outer layer is exposed for making electrical contact to said integrated circuit and said second passivation layer seals the edges of said sequence of conductive layers.
2. The die sealing bonding pad of claim 1 wherein said noble metal is selected from the group consisting of gold and platinum.
3. The die sealing bonding pad of claim 1 wherein said barrier metal is selected from the group consisting of titanium-tungsten alloys, nickel-vanadium alloys, chromium and chromium-nickel alloys.
4. The die sealing bonding pad of claim 1 wherein said sequence of conductors further includes an adhesion metal layer between said aluminum bonding pad and said barrier metal layer.
5. The die sealing bonding pad of claim 4 wherein said adhesion layer comprises aluminum.
6. The die sealing bonding pad of claim 1 wherein said first and second passivation layers comprise at least a first layer of silicon dioxide.
7. The die sealing bonding pad of claim 6 further comprising a layer of silicon nitride on top of said silicon dioxide.
8. The die sealing bonding pad of claim 6 wherein said second passivation layer comprises a relatively thick layer of either low melting glass or insulating organic material overcoated with silicon nitride.
Semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) devices typically employ aluminum as the metal of choice for use with silicon substrates. Typically, an aluminum bonding pad is overlapped with the preferred passivation which is commonly a layer of silicon dioxide overcoated with silicon nitride (Si3 N4). The central area of the aluminum bonding pad is left open for electrical connections which will be associated with the IC housing. Typically, bond wires, metal fingers or metal bumps are connected to the bond pads to provide the desired connection. If the metal involved is a noble metal such as gold, which is useful because of its corrosion resistance, it must be isolated from the aluminum by a barrier layer which can be composed of, for example, nickel-alloy, titanium-tungsten alloy, chromium or chromium alloy. Basically, the barrier layer should adhere well to the aluminum and whatever passivation layer is present and it should chemically isolate the aluminum metallization from the noble metal electrical connection.
Typically, in the prior art the aluminum bonding pads exposed inside the passivation layer are overcoated with a succession of metal layers such as aluminum (optional) for initial adherence, a barrier metal layer for isolation and a noble metal for electrical contact. These layers actually overlap the passivation coat so as to completely seal off the original aluminum bonding pad. However, the edges of the metal layers will be exposed to any contaminants that the packaged IC is exposed to. For example, in plastic molded housings the encapsulant is permeable to moisture to some degree. Furthermore, the plastic seal to the metal leads will typically admit moisture along the interface and into the IC, particularly after temperature cycling. Accordingly, it has become common to provide hermetic packaging for devices that require high reliability. While this is effective, it is costly and even hermetic packages have been known to develop leaks. As a result, it is deemed useful to provide a suitable seal for the IC itself wherein any contaminants will not be able to attack the IC components even when they are present inside the package.
It is an object of the invention to provide a seal for a semiconductor IC die which will exclude contaminants from the critical parts.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a metallization layer sequence for an IC die in which a passivation layer covers the edges of the metallization layers thereby rendering them immune to attack by contaminants.
These and other objects are achieved as follows. An IC bonding pad is provided with a passivation layer that overlaps the edges thereof so as to leave the central portion exposed. A sequence of metal layers comprise an optional layer of aluminum for adherence, a barrier metal layer to metallurgically isolate the aluminum and a noble metal contact layer. The edges of the metal layer sequence are overlapped by an upper passivation layer which, therefore, seals their edges and renders them immune to chemical contaminants. The upper passivation layer can include the well known silicon dioxide and nitride combination or silicon carbide and can further include layers of glass and/or polyimide or other organic coatings.
FIG. 1 is a cross section of an IC chip fragment in the vicinity of a prior art bonding pad.
FIG. 2 shows a prior art bonding pad overcoated with a well known metal layer sequence.
FIG. 3 shows a simplified embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 4 shows an improved embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 5 shows another improved embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 1 which shows a prior art bonding pad, is a fragmentary cross section of a silicon wafer. The drawing is not to scale. The vertical dimensions have been exaggerated to show the layers involved, but not their scale. Substrate 10 is the silicon IC which includes an aluminum bonding pad 11. A two component passivation is shown. Layer 12 is a relatively thin coating of SiO2, which is typically made to overlap the edges of bonding pad 11, as shown. A layer of silicon nitride 13 is applied on top of layer 12, to overlap it as shown. As a practical matter, layers 12 and 13 are applied over the entire IC wafer and holes are etched through them to expose the center portions of the bonding pad 11. The wraparound effect on layer 13 is created by first depositing layer 12 and etching the hole therein. Then layer 13 is applied and photolithographically etched to produce the structure shown.
FIG. 2 illustrates the next step in the prior art approach. Here, the substrate 10, with its bonding pad 11 and passivation layers 12 and 13, is provided with a three metal layer sequence. Layer 14, which is optional, is aluminum selected to provide good adherence to bonding pad 11 and passivation layer 13. Layer 15 is a barrier metal layer, such as a nickel-vanadium alloy a titanium-tungsten alloy, chromium or nickel-chromium alloy. This layer metallurgically isolates the aluminum from the noble metal. Layer 16 is a noble metal, such as gold or platinum, which will be corrosion resistant and provide an eternal IC connection.
The structure of FIG. 2 is useful, but it has a serious drawback. The aluminum and barrier layers 14 and 15, while covered by layer 16, are exposed at their edges to potential contaminants. For example, any moisture and ionic contaminants that could come into contact with the IC could act as a medium that will produce chemical or electrochemical attack and the layer sequence can be thereby undercut. Furthermore, such moisture will be drawn by capillary action along the metal layer interfaces to promote corrosion once it starts.
FIG. 3 shows the die sealing of the invention in its most elementary form. Substrate 10, bonding pad 11 and passivation layer 12, along with metal layer 14 through 16, are as was described for FIG. 2. An additional passivation 17, consisting for example of SiO2, is applied so as to seal the edges of metal layers 14-16. As a practical matter, layer 17 can be deposited over the entire IC wafer and the inner portion of noble metal layer 16 exposed by conventional photolithographic etching using either a wet fluoride or plasma etch.
FIG. 4 shows an alternative structure embodiment. Here, a Si3 N4 layer 18 is located between oxide layers 12 and 17. Additionally, if desired, another Si layer 19 can be applied as shown on top of oxide layer 17. This provides the excellent passivation of the combination of oxide and nitride. As before, it is proposed that the structure be created by applying layers 17 and 19 over the entire silicon wafer in fabrication and then photolithographically etching the hole in the center of the bonding pad to expose the surface of noble metal layer 16. The etching again can be either wet chemical or plasma driven. This embodiment represents the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment of the invention. Here layers 11 through 16 are as was described previously. However, layer 20 consists of a relatively thick glass layer created, desirably by a particle slurry spin-on technique well known in the art. Here, a low melting glass is ground to a fine powder and suspended in a suitable liquid to create a slurry. The slurry is then applied to a rapidly spinning wafer so that it forms a surface film. The coated wafer is then fired to melt the glass, drive off the liquid and coalesce the glass particles into a surface levelling layer. This is followed by the application of a Si3 N4 layer 21 which completes the passivation. The surface of noble metal layer 16 is, as usual, exposed by photolithographic etching.
Alternatively, layer 20 can be composed of an organic polymer such as polyimide. This material can be spun on as a liquid monomer which is then cured in place to provide the desired coating. As a practical matter, if the spun-on coating is only partially cured, it can easily be etched to create the desired hole. Afterward, the cure can be completed to produce the tough, flexible polyimide passivation coating.
The invention has been described and a preferred embodiment detailed. Alternative embodiments have also been described. When a person skilled in the art reads the foregoing description, alternatives and equivalents, within the spirit and intent of the invention, will be apparent. Accordingly, it is intended that the scope of the invention be limited only by the claims that follow.

Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
Nothing like the way our bubbies made latkes in the old country! These latkes are not loaded with potato starch, flour, baking powder or other non-essential ingredients. My grandfather shared this recipe with me when I told him that I thought his were the crunchiest, lightest and most perfect potato latkes I've ever eaten.
- Prep Time : 12 min
- Ready Time : 12 min
- 4 medium Idaho potatoes
- 6 tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons matzoh meal
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- Applesauce or sour cream:(optional)
- Prepare a large bowl filled with cold water.
- Peel potatoes, and as you finish each, place in cold water to prevent browning.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into halves or quarters so they fit into food processor feed tube. Process potatoes using the blade that creates thin, shoestring-like strips and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add eggs, matzoh meal, salt and pepper and mix well.
- Drop 6 to 8 spoonfuls of mixture into hot oil. Using the back of a spoon, pat down each latke to flatten it. Put as many as you can in the skillet without crowding. Putting them too close together will make them soggy.
- Fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp around the edges; repeat procedure until finished with all the batter.
- Blot excess oil with paper towels.
- Serve warm with applesauce or sour cream, if desired.
Corn meal is a great substitute for matzoh meal and will also make your latkes nice and crispy.

I just made your potato latke recipe — the first time I've ever made potato latkes (now at age 73), but I think I may have misjudged a bit. In my town there are no medium size idahos; they're either large or larger, so I used 3 large, but believe I had too much potato (even though they tasted good). Can you estimate the approx weight of the 4 potatoes you use and I will shop accordingly.
One other – what size spoon to use per dollop; (teaspoon, tablespoon etc.)
Thank you.
cAN THESE E FROZEN?
I make latkes this way: I buy one box of Manischewitz Homestyle Potato Pancake Mix and 1 box regular Potato Pancake mix. Using a large mixing bowl I make the mixes together according to the directions on each box. I add about 1 teaspoon of onion salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper. I then add a very big handful of plain shredded potatoes from the refrigerator case, mixing all together. Fry in canola oil, using a metal soup spoon, on both sides and drain on clean brown grocery bags. I flash freeze them on a cookie sheet and reheat uncovered in the oven for just a few minutes at 375 degrees. Yields about 55 latkes. Yum Yum
i wanted to try & make latkes like my Bubbie used to make. I followed your recipe to the T. the mixture in the bowl was really watery, so I added more bread crumbs. added some baking powder too. Got the oil heated up, plunked in some mixture. waited, then tried to flip over. OMG what a disaster. it fell apart. I tried another one, it also fell apart. I tried to eat it anyways with some sugar on it (my mother was Romanisha) . it tasted ok. I threw the rest of the mixture in the garbage bin. Happy Chunnuka anyways.

From Our Editors
Invisalign straightens crooked chompers through a combination of highly advanced, 3-D computer graphics and the spells of good old-fashioned orthodontia. Three different practices feature orthodontists specially trained and certified in the Invisalign process, which eschews cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of your mouth terrain ($325), will pave the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift your walnut crackers into perfect alignment. The total cost of an Invisalign treatment varies with each customer (it can run anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000); this Groupon gets you $1,000 to put toward that final cost. View some Invisalign FAQs here.

The ABTA offers publications, webinars, personal support services, and a social media platform exclusively for brain tumor patients and caregivers. According to Wilson, one role for volunteers is to help get information about these resources to local healthcare providers so that they can in turn share them with their patients.
Healthcare professionals are eager to provide additional resources to their patients. "When a newly diagnosed brain tumor patient comes into my clinic, I give them the ABTA's 'About Brain Tumors' booklet, turn to the section about their tumor and encourage them to go home and read about it," says Kelly Nicholas, MD, PhD, director, Neuro-Oncology, University of Chicago Medicine. "The ABTA is an invaluable service to patients and families, and every patient I've ever given this information to has always said thank you."
According to Wilson, the ABTA CommYOUnity™, being introduced at the organization's annual patient and family conference being held in Chicago, July 25-26, reflects the contemporary realities of nonprofit volunteerism.
"Not every volunteer is a fundraiser. Not every volunteer has the ability or time to organize or host a meeting. We also recognize that volunteer interests and time commitments are often fluid," Wilson said. "Our goal is to ensure that over time, the ABTA CommYOUnity™ offers activities that advance our shared mission while providing opportunities for meaningful constituent engagement."
Initially, ABTA CommYOUnity™ activities will be organized under four general areas of need designed to provide a formal structure while allowing f

The bike is coming back together nicely. If the rain holds off I may get out and play some sunday.
I rode across with no issue after walking across first to scout a line(there's 8 more miles of trail and 2 more creek crossings on the far side before you hit the gate at SC line, so it's worth it
). It's a bit disconcerting if you haven't crossed before and especially if you're by yourself, but there is a good line there. From the viewpoint where photo was taken, center up between tire marks on steel bridge, drop onto left (camera's left) side of biggest rock then come straight out/down across small rocks in middle.
Goal is to keep front tire out of a big crevice - that's when things go sideways. Let the rear tire go where it likes, keep the front on line, and use moderate steady throttle feathering clutch to control speed.
First time across (coming towards camera) I paddle footed it due to having highway gears on bike and not being real comfortable with the speed required for feet up riding (no one around to help if I screwed up). On the way back I went up/over/down at about 10mph with no drama. A better rider, especially on a smaller bike, would have zero issues. And the Graham Jarvis types would wheelie across it at 50mph, so it's all a matter of perspective
I'm out of town for business currently, headed home tomorrow afternoon, so riding is out for me this weekend- doing the family thing with the remainder. Then I head out Wed for MotoGP at Indy
However, the following weekend I would be down for a ride.

With their unique brand of psychedelic sludge/doom, the Italian power trio Ufomammut have gradually grown over the past decade to become one of the leading acts of the genre. Mixing heavy, fuzzy riffs with often dark ambient passages, the band has produced such brilliant and expansive records as Snailking (2004), Idolum (2008), Eve (2010) and the double-sided ORO (2012). Now, they have returned with another masterpiece, Ecate, their most straightforward and streamlined effort. Before embarking on a European tour as well as crossing the Atlantic for the first time for an extensive North American trek, Vita, Poia and Urlo took some time to answer a few questions for Sputnik:
Hello! How are the preparations for the new album release and following tour going?
Urlo: Everything is good, we're rehearsing a lot lately to play Ecate in the best way possible. It's a new path for us in terms of music, so we're very curious to see how it'll be live. In the meantime we're getting mad with all the US visas issues and preparation of the American tour… but we're very excited to be in the States. And we're preparing the limited edition vinyls at Malleus headquarters, a very precious version of the LP of Ecate that will be out at the end of March.
Vita: This is a busy period, we have to practice the new record and get all the documents we need to travel stateside.

Gear Review
Will S.
Great for bugs
The screenhouse does a great job of keeping out the bugs. I just got back from a mosquito-heavy trip in the Uintas, and we were always able to take shelter in the Screenhouse to keep from getting bitten. Very effective at keeping out the bugs. And quick to set up - it took about 10 minutes to set up the first time, would probably be under 5 minutes in the future.
I've deducted 1 star b/c the tent can get hot (i.e., hotter than outside) when there's no breeze or just a light breeze. This is because the mesh is a very dense, which probably helps keep all the bugs out, but it also blocks light breezes.
Also, this is definitely best for car camping as it's quite large and heavy.

Join Eros Exotica Gay
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Admittedly, at this point in my illustrious career as a porn site reviewer not much comes across my screen that really strikes me as unique. Oh, don't get me wrong, I see gay content that's exclusive all the time, but that's not what I mean. It's much rarer for me to stumble upon something like Exotica Gay, where the concept is completely different.
I've seen a naked-yoga DVD, but it wasn't pornographic - rather, inspirational in the spiritual sense. Then again, that's sort of the case with the gay porn on ErosExoticaGay, because it's not simply about nude massages, handjobs, blowjobs and anal sex. It's a guide to making sweet, sweet gay love featuring gorgeous hunks who look at each other like they're real-life lovers.
Over two months have passed since the last update, which is a bit unfortunate, because there are only eight videos and a mere four photo sets. You can't stream the flicks, but when you download them in a Windows Media file they deliver good-quality playback. I should also mention that the vids tend to be a bit short, each lasting about 10 minutes.
The production values are quite high, with luxurious-looking sets made to seem all the more romantic with loads of lit candles everywhere. Just to be clear, the scenes don't all use the same performers, so you'll see dudes who look like jocks, a couple of hairless men (not twinks) with average bodies, and I would also like to point out that the muscular stud who demonstrates penis-lengthening exercises has quite a long cock already.
With a selection this limited, I'm glad they've made the effort to provide members with a good number of bonus movies to stream. We're talking over 5,600 flicks and the streams seem to be good in quality. I guess they might serve as further inspiration for you and a lover if you decide to try the techniques in the site's Kama Sutra-inspired vids.
Clearly, I'm not going to recommend a collection based on bonuses, especially streaming ones. I'd still like somehow to recommend it, but Eros Exotica Gay is just too small to be worthwhile. Still, I do appreciate the uniqueness of the scenes, the beautiful studs in sensuous surroundings and the whole educational aspect.

Digital Imaging Basics
Computing Resources >> Tutorials >> Graphics & Multimedia >> Digital Imaging Basics
Production of Digital Images
Digital images can be produced in a number of ways, the most common of which are detailed below.
Scanning: You can take pretty much any printed material and scan it to obtain a digital copy of it. Readily available scanners make scanning images on paper, printed photos, slides, and negatives a fairly simple process. Many of these scanners are "plug and play, " which means that soon after you unpack and plug your scanner into your computer, you can scan away without much delay.
Flatbed scanners (Figure 1) operate in a way similar to photocopier - you raise the lid, put the image face down on the glass, close the lid, and scan. Some of these flatbed scanners even have feeder trays, to quickly scan multiple pages.
Photo print, slide, and negative scanners (sometimes these are all combined into one scanner, as in Figure 2) usually have a slot into which you feed the item you want scanned. You can scan these types of materials on a flatbed scanner, but the raising and lowering of the lid often shifts or turns the items slightly, resulting in unexpectedly crooked or off-centered scans. Placing a small piece of tape across your item and the edge of the scanner - careful to avoid getting tape on the glass - can help to alleviate this problem.
Digital Cameras: Digital cameras (Figure 3) and camera phones are probably the fastest, easiest way to produce digital images. Keep in mind that there is quite a wide range of performance differences among brands, models by the same brand, and between consumer vs. professional grade equipment. What you really need to know is how to navigate through the function menu on your particular piece of equipment. The user manual will be very helpful in explaining what all those weird abbreviations, codes, and acronyms mean!
At this point, I want to point out a few notable settings on the digital camera:
Photo CDs: You may obtain a collection of digital images from your photo processor, along with your developed prints or slides. Many photo-processing services now provide photo CDs with .jpg images on them. If you are unfamiliar yet curious about the nature of these images, this tutorial should help you figure out what you can and can't do with them, and will give you suggestions for software that can help you manipulate or organize them.

Residents in the sparsely populated county became accustomed to an increased police presence, with helicopters flying at night.
"There probably is a sense of relief in the community," said Julie Badger, who lives in Melfa, where the most recent fire was set.
Bundick and Smith live together in Parksley, a small community where the first deliberately set fire was lit.
Standing in front of Bundick's small, white home with bicycles in the yard, neighbor Kenneth Peters said he was surprised by the charges. He said Bundick has lived there at least five years with her two sons, and that Smith had recently moved into the home, where Virginia State Police vehicles were parked out front Tuesday. Bundick had worked as an in-home nurse, Peters said, but she's been unemployed for more than a year.
"I wouldn't think they'd be involved in stuff like that, but you never know," Peters said.
In a statement, Accomack County Sheriff Todd Godwin thanked residents for their patience and support "throughout a very extensive and arduous" investigation.
Geller said more than 1,200 tips had come in since the fires began. On Tuesday, an electronic road sign along the side of the main road through the county continued to ask the public for information.
The sign was a few dozen yards away from where an empty hotel had been set on fire. And the hotel is on the same road as the Tasley Volunteer Fire Department, where Smith had once been a leader. Firefighters who had gathered at the department Tuesday evening declined to comment on Smith's arrest.
John J. Lentini, an arson expert and consultant in Islamorada, Fla., with 38 years of experience as a fire investigator, said serial arsonists are rare — and female serial arsonists even more so.
He also said the number of arsons on the Easter Shore is highly unusual.
"I don't know of any serial arsonist that's ever gotten by with that many," he said. "This is really unusual."
He said there are so few serial arsonists that it's difficult to find a common motivation for their behavior, although "there seems to be a lot of anger involved."
Associated Press Writer Larry O'Dell contributed to this report from Richmond, Va.

Travis: Wild conference final has Spurs in position to exorcise demons
SAN ANTONIO - It's funny how quickly things change in sports. It's nothing like the real world, where it takes us months to finally decide to move to a new city, take on a different job, or buy a new car.
No, in sports, our strings are rapidly pulled in different directions. What we once viewed as inevitable quickly turns into unlikely; storylines that we adopt as canon are stashed away when things start to shift.
In the playoffs, every game turns into an event that heavily influences our opinion on what might come next, even though each game takes on its own identity that rarely carries over to the next meeting. So, in an age of ceaseless sports chatter, we end up with a lot of flip-flopping and second guessing regarding what to expect.
The 2014 NBA Western Conference Finals are a prime example of this. This series went from being over, the title all but handed to the Spurs given their favorable matchup with the Miami Heat, to the complete opposite end of the spectrum, with the Thunder rolling down the same path they took to the Finals in 2012.
That put us in an eerily similar situation on Thursday night.
After four games, it seemed as if this series had just been copied and pasted from 2012, with a few characters and scenes altered without changing the overall result. We had the Spurs establishing their superiority on their home floor before the series shifted to Oklahoma City, where the Thunder found a working formula that the Spurs had no answer for. Two years ago, that meant putting Thabo Sefolosha on Tony Parker and forcing the Spurs to rely on Tim Duncan in the post. This time around, it was getting Serge Ibaka back from a "season-ending" injury and ramping up their defensive intensity, neutering San Antonio's altruistic style with their insane athleticism and length.
Different characters, revised scenes. Same narrative.
So after heading to Oklahoma City with all of the confidence in the world following their two blowout wins at home, the Spurs stepped onto the floor for Game 5 thinking to themselves about how the Thunder so graciously returned the favor in Games 3 and 4, and how the series had changed with Ibaka's return. Facing extreme adversity for the first time since Game 5 of last year's NBA Finals, the Spurs had to wonder if they had enough in them to defeat the team that has given them more trouble than anybody else over the past few seasons, the team whose young athletes neutralize their strengths and expose weaknesses that don't exist against the 28 other teams in the league.
The Spurs were facing their nightmare matchup in a situation that brought about painful flashbacks to their nightmare meltdown against the same opponent two years ago.
And they responded with their best game of the season. A thunderous blow that put all of those flashbacks to 2012 to bed for good.
For the third time this series, San Antonio wiped the AT&T Center floor with the Thunder, dominating the game with its selfless teamwork, lights-out shooting and brilliant defensive work en route to a 117-89 victory. And unlike the Spurs' other two blowouts in this series, this one came with Ibaka on the floor and Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook playing well for three quarters. The Spurs dealt with Westbrook's flurry of rim attacks, they handled Durant's unstoppable outside game and they maneuvered their way around Ibaka'a intimidating omnipresence, and they just punched back even harder.
Gregg Popovich's decision to start Matt Bonner created a lot of buzz, but it didn't have an impact on the outcome. Boris Diaw was the more important stretch forward in this game, as he knocked down a pair of threes and made a major impact on the glass. Once the Spurs found what looked like their best five-man unit - Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Diaw and Duncan - they took control of the game, converting 65 percent of their shots with that group on the floor and playing cohesive defense.
Ginobili was genius in this game. He operated pick-and-rolls excellently, toying with Oklahoma City's bigs by knifing his way to the rim and only relinquishing control of the ball once the best option had clearly presented itself. Whether that was a finish at the rim or a pass out to the corner, Ginobili was extremely effective in this game, notching 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting with six assists (and no turnovers). Duncan fed off of Ginobili and Parker, finishing at the rim off pick-and-rolls consistently, which had been an issue since Ibaka returned, to the tune of a team high 22 points. Duncan made sure to get quality scoring chances and he got to the line a series high seven times.
Now that confidence has been restored for the Spurs, they head back to Oklahoma City, a place where they haven't won in their last nine tries. The night-and-day difference between the Spurs at home against the Thunder and on the road in Oklahoma City is confounding. Were the Spurs young like the Thunder, perhaps it would make sense, but the very essence of the Spurs over the past few years has been that their veteran understanding of the game, along with the unmatched leadership of Popovich, helps make them somewhat immune to wilting on the road. After all, the Spurs had the best road record in the league at 30-11 this season.
But for whatever reason, the Spurs just can't get over the hump in Oklahoma City. It's not as if San Antonio has never entered into a hostile environment and played a team that so obviously thrives off of the energy of the homecrowd before, but this particular environment paired with this particular opponent makes a couple of key Spurs uncomfortable - mainly Parker and Green - and as well-oiled a machine as the Spurs often resemble, if one cog is a little rusty, their collective efficiency takes a dip.
Even still, the Spurs have to be happy to have re-established control of this series. Lose on Saturday, and you've got Game 7 on your home floor against a team that you've beaten by a combined 80 points at the AT&T Center in this series. But go out on Saturday and exorcise your Oklahoma City demons, burying the Thunder after you let them come up for air in 2012?
Then you can cross the Thunder off of the redemption checklist, leaving one final team in between the Spurs and total vindication. And getting revenge on LeBron seems like the perfect backdrop for Duncan and Popovich's ride off into the sunset.

Thought I'd do some paper this week. Just scanned my daily scribble, I try to do 2 A3 papers a day of poses... so it's more like 80+ than 50. Sorry.
Oh and I have a question. Is it better to do like 3-4 normal pages of quick sketches, like 30seconds.. or 1-2 pages of more focused sketches, say 60 or 90 seconds? in other words.. quantity or quality?
and no wooden dragon yet.. Oh and they're 30 seconds.. thought I'd go spartan style (hardcore)
..and Prepsage, I included feet this time

Awesome! The figures can stand! hehe
As for qty vs quality- I say quantity if you're using posemaniacs. I try to do twelve 10sec and eight 30-45sec/day. Frankly i don't get much more out of a 90 sec posemaniac than I do out of a 45 since things get quirky with the posemaniac muscle structures and almost nil lighting. I'd rather spend the extra time and knock out a quick color study. Of course if I actually leave the apartment, I'll tend to spend more time sketching(depending on location of course).

recently I make almost only 10 and 15 seconds posemaniacs studies (they're good because I don't have time to think, I just draw without any stress and the result will be nicer this way - though it's about the poses, not the anatomy, they're too simple) and I search for some reference for a more detailed body. posemaniacs isn't really good for it, there are important poses that aren't in posemaniacs and a photo of a real human is far more interesting for me

almost 70, I think.

EDIT: and I did it it's my new, comfortable and nicely shaped mouse

Did anyone else think the Klingon scene felt unnecessary? They were only there because Trek needs its aliens, and maybe because there needed to be another action scene. On that last point we could have figured out Khan was badass later on without it.
Have Kirk show up with a phaser pointed at the back of Khan's head and it would have changed nothing.
Kind of, but I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless and it was awesome seeing the Klingons again, this time actually appearing tough and competent.
As much as I love DS9, if Kirk was beating up Klingons left right and center like Sisko regularly seemed to do then there would be hell to pay on these boards

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/11/12
Really really bad news for Jason Garrett you'd think, but Jason LaCanfora is reporting that Holmgren could be a fit in Dallas. Holmgren, who is finishing up a disappointing three-year run as the Browns' team president, has said he would consider a return to coaching, where he already has a case for potential Hall of Fame induction. Some sources who know Holmgren well believe Dallas is the one potential opening that would truly interest him, given the competitiveness of the roster, the skill players present and his long relationship with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Holmgren and Jones worked closely together for more than a decade on the NFL's Competition Committee. If the perfect scenario does not arise, sources close to Holmgren expect him to retire. It would be a polar opposite scenario to what Holmgren entertained in Cleveland. In Dallas there is a (ahem) very strong owner, a roster with some semblance of talent, and potentially a head coaching vacancy. [Related:No more moral victories, Browns need results]

Y-3 Relocates Its Show From New York to Paris
The New York Fashion Week schedule is losing Yohji Yamamoto from the mix, as the designer will be showing his Y-3 collection in Paris starting in January. The coed collection, which is produced in partnership between Yamamoto and Adidas, has been shown in New York since the brand's inception in 2003.
Constance Jablonski J'adores Citi Bikes, Avoids Spinning
For a wheel-y good time, call Citi Bike savant Constance Jablonski! The mod recently filled us in on her riding M.O. What's your favorite invention of 2013? Citi Bike. Are you into spinning, too? I'm not. I hate Soul Cycle! But I tried the Citi Bikes a few weeks ago and they're amazing. I'm French, and in Paris we've had for a long time.
Milliner Maison Michel Pops Up in Paris, Next Door to Chanel
Chanel's Paris HQ is getting a new neighbor, in the form of a Maison Michel pop-up shop. The first-ever retail location for the French milliner will be at 19 Rue Cambon, albeit only until March 2014. The toppers, which are available in RTW or made-to-measure designs, are artfully crafted and nearly nondescript, save for the trademark 'M' that is embroidered onto each skimmer.
Olivia Bee: The Teenage Photographer Taking Over Fashion
At just 19 years old, photography prodigy and Portland, Oregon native, Olivia Bee is taking the fashion world by storm with her youth infused lo-fi photos. She might be described as a female Ryan McGinley and indeed she's cited the famed photographer as an influence alongside Annie Leibovitz and Nan Goldin. At 15 she landed her first gig shooting a Converse campaign ...

Farewell, Paris! A Dossier Of This Season's Musts
Before we depart on our Delta flight home from Paris and finally say farewell to fashion month, we wanted to break down where everybody stayed, ate, and played in the city of lights this season. Keep this in your back pocket for next time... Haute Hotels: If your expense account is fairly limitless, you'll be staying at The Four Seasons or the more central Le Meurice across from the Tuileries.
Riccardo, Carine, Kim & Co. Party It Up In Paree
Kim Kardashian (who somehow doesn't look as blonde as she did two days ago) partied it up in Paris last night with Carine Roitfeld and Riccardo Tisci at a screening of Mademoiselle C. Kim was wearing a black pleated jersey Givenchy number from their Spring 2014 collection which left plenty of room to show off her massive you know whats. Peace out, Tisci.

Cosmo's Shiona Turini On Her Driver's Paris Haute Spot

Elie Saab's Stylish Bash At The Four Seasons Georges V
It was the height of haute earlier this week at Elie Saab's cocktail party at the uber chic Four Seasons Hotel on the Georges V in Paris. Walking into the courtyard, guests mingled beneath a hanging canopy of flowers, the lush space dotted with three emerald green sequined Haute Couture downs that were highlighted on a stage. The effect? Sort of like walking into an episode of Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous". The room was filled with Saab's swanky couture clientele, many of whom had flown in for his show and his alone. Chicsters like...
Oh, Look! Janice Dickinson Returns To Paris Fashion Week

Katy Perry Meets A Super Size Chanel Bag
Katy Perry, meet giant Chanel bag. Giant Chanel bag, meet Katy Perry. The "Roar" singer was in Paris today and stopped by the Grand Palais to take in a little Karl magic front row. She was joined front row by Rita Ora, Riccardo Tisci, Patrick Demarchelier, and Poppy Delevingne, whose sister Cara opened the show.
The Stella McCartney Fan Club
When we saw him standing there... Givenchy may have had Kanye, but Stella McCartney's loyal pop Sir Paul is always front and center on show day to root his girl on. He posed for the BFA cameras with Salma Hayek and Mario Testino in Paris today at the Opera Garnier. Stella's front row also included Angie Harmon (random!), Twiggy, Patrick Demarchelier, and Natalia Vodianova watching a surprise return of Miranda Kerr to the runway.

Moncler Fêtes A New Store (And New Shades) With Pharrell Williams
Last night Moncler opened their new 3,428-square-feet space on Rue Faubourg du Saint Honoré which houses their new Paris flagship store as well as the brand's offices and showroom. Pharrell Williams who was on hand for the occasion, along with chairman Remo Ruffini."I don't know if I'm in Paris, the year 2020, or if I'm in Asia in the year 2050," Pharrell remarked.
Dior's Tony Front Row
We like a front row with a little beauty and substance, so it's a pleasure to see French actress Isabelle Huppert and the legendary Marisa Berenson at Dior in Paris today to see what Raf was up to. Dior created a fake garden behind the Musée Rodin for the show. What did we think of the show?
Insiders Spill! Mr. Big Shot Dishes On The Photogs' Pit
Missed this juicy shutterbug tell-all from our insider's package during NYFW? Fret not! Time for a (re)read of this NYFW gem. The photographers screaming from the pit rarely get much respect. The Daily coaxed one veteran to anonymously spill on the thrills and disasters that take place amongst the madness at the end of the runway. BY EDDIE ROCHE
Paris Spring 2014: Rick Owens
Rick Owens: In case you're looking at the photos online and thinking, "What the...?" Let us tell you: this was a game changer! When Rick Owens told us yesterday, front row at Gareth Pugh, that his show was "going to be fun," we had no idea he had this in store. What ensued was a full on dance performance by four American stepping sororities.
Shot Of The Daily: Olivier Rousteing & Joan Smalls
Look at these two gorgeous things! Olivier Rousteing and Joan Smalls posed for the BFA cameras at Balmain in Paris earlier today. Needless to say Joan didn't wear the Kenzo sweatshirt in the show while walking. (Though that would have been so awesome!) The show also included a rare runway appearance by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and included the traditional Brant brothers "skipping school to sit front row" appearance in Paris.
Museum Musings! With Glenda Bailey
Need intel on this season's mustn't-miss exhibits? Just ask Glenda Bailey, Harper's Bazaar editrix and consummate art whiz! We caught up with her at Dries Van Noten for the full museum-adoring scoop... How is Paris treating you? It's very nice! I'm happy and the sun is shining. Do you get much time to enjoy the city? Not as much as I'd like, but I'm not complaining though.

Hair Loss Health Center
Hair Loss in Women
In this article
Mistakenly thought to be a strictly male disease, women make up a significant percentage of American hair loss sufferers. Forty percent of women have visible hair loss by the time they are age 40, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Hair loss in women can be absolutely devastating for self image and emotional well-being.
Unfortunately, society has forced women to suffer in silence. It is considered far more acceptable for men to go through the same hair loss process. Even more unfortunately, the medical community pays little attention to the issue of women's hair loss. Since hair loss doesn't appear to be life threatening, physicians often overlook women's complaints about hair loss and essentially tell their patients that "it's no big deal," and that "you'll just have to live with it."

Expert Q and A: Fighting Hair Loss in Women
Many women with hair loss suffer in silence, altering their hairstyle to hide thinning or patches. But the sooner you seek care, the better the chances of successfully treating it, says Mary Gail Mercurio, MD, associate professor of dermatology at the University of Rochester in Rochester, N.Y. It's not as uncommon as you may think: As many as 5% of women under 30 and 60% of those older than 70 are affected, she says. At the recent meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in Miami Beach, Fla...
Read the Expert Q and A: Fighting Hair Loss in Women article > >
Of course what these physicians don't seem to realize is that the psychological damage caused by hair loss and feeling unattractive can be just as devastating as any serious disease, and in fact, can take an emotional toll that directly affects physical health.
The American Hair Loss Association recognizes that hair loss in women is a serious life-altering condition that can no longer be ignored.

From Tropical Storm Irene to the opening of the new Champlain Bridge, 2011 was chock-full of groundbreaking events.

Every year, boys and girls around the world send letters to Santa in the the north pole. Here are a few that local children shared with us.
Dear Santa,
Since I didn't get any gifts for my birthday can I get more presents than usual? I would like a DS, some DS games like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman. Some Wii games like Indiana and Star Wars and Batman, and Mario and Sonik, and a ripstick and a game for the Wii. It is. Maryo cart and a DS game it is Maryo. I would like some bayblades and a bayblade arena.

LINCOLN — Heading up the road from Bristol along the New Haven River, just west of the mountain village of Lincoln, stands a small Christmas tree in the woods decorated with lights and a star.
The mysterious tree — situated in a thick patch of forest, across the river from homes and utility lines — shines anomalously against tall stands of trees in the dark, winter night.
MIDDLEBURY — The UD-3 school board is considering cuts to driver's education, dance, art and foreign languages in order to limit the increase in the 2012-2013 spending plan to around 3 percent.
MIDDLEBURY — Some people can recapture their childhood through old photographs, friends, foods and fond memories.
But Paul Bortz uses a different vehicle to transport himself down memory lane — a train. Actually, more than 500 electric and toy trains that he enthusiastically collects and shares with his family and the public.
BRISTOL — Taking aim at level-funding the 2012-2013 school budget, Mount Abraham Union High School Principal Andy Kepes offered the school board at its Tuesday meeting an even slimmer spending plan that would decrease spending by 1.9 percent from this year's $11,309,068 budget.

They Say: Mom's Bad Memory Makes Bratty Kids
You know that parental problem with remembering where the heck anything in your house is? Or where your house is for that matter?
Turns out that's why your kid's a brat.
A new study out of Virginia Tech has shown a link between moms with bad memories and their lack of control over their kids. It seems when you can't remember what you told your kids to do five minutes ago, you're not too good at following through on making them do it. Not to mention yelling at your kids for doing something you just said they could do doesn't score you much respect on the consistency scale.
The researchers say parents with poor working memory are more likely to lash out at their kids – and it may explain the root of some child abuse cases.
Fortunately it hasn't gotten that far in my house, but I can empathize. When you can't think to form the next sentence, it's hard to outwit a four-year-old. Harder still to be authoritative.
