Before getting into the race, on behalf of everyone at the Fan Vs. Fan platform and specifically everyone that writes for the motorsports section, we want to send out deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and fellow competitors of Kevin Ward Jr. Sympathies are also sent out to Tony Stewart, who is at the center of the incident the incident that took Mr. Ward's life. We respect your decision, and wish you well as you try to cope with this unfortunate incident. The entire racing community is with you in this time of sorrow, loss, and understanding.
Sometimes things in racing happen to give a person an opportunity to regroup, and realize what one had and how easily it could be taken away. In July 2012, A.J. Allmendinger was ready to climb aboard his No. 22 Ford at Penske Racing and go compete for victory at Daytona. Instead, he was called back to the NASCAR trailer, and told he failed the drug test he was given the week before.
He was sent home, suspended, unsure if he would return to the sport.
His decision, get help, and work his way back in. He had to go elsewhere to regain trust of his competitors, and then got the chance to work his way back up to the top tier series. Finally given the opportunity, he joins JTG Daugherty Racing on a full-time basis this season, following some time last year in select races. His confidence was back, and his desire to win was there. Having completed the "Road to Recovery" program, he was ready to make an impact.
On Sunday afternoon, that road came full circle. In a battle that pitted Allmendinger against road-race master Marcos Ambrose, it was Allmendinger taking the victory, his first at NASCAR's top level, and the culmination of a road back that at one time could spell the end of his livelihood.
What is more amazing is that three writers had a good feeling about Allmendinger this weekend, and they were banking on the underdog taking the checkered flag. Those three are celebrating. In fact, a majority of the participants enjoyed top-five runs. It also has given the pool it's first new leader in a while, and has half the field within one race of each other.
Take a look at how everyone stands now following the Cheez-It 355 at the Glen:
Rob Tiongson (763) A.J. Allmendinger WON - 4
Kara Martin (753) Jeff Gordon finished 34th - 3
Ryan O'Hara (752) Jeff Gordon finished 34th - 5
Patti Rodisch (746) Jeff Gordon finished 34th - 3
Sal Sigala Jr. (721) Brad Keselowski finished 35th - 5
Dustin Parks (715) Marcos Ambrose finished 2nd - 2
Billy Fellin (702) Marcos Ambrose finished 2nd - 1
Rob Blount (687) A.J. Allmendinger WON - 3
Michael Hirshbein (672) Marcos Ambrose finished 2nd - 1
Aaron Rosser (669) A.J. Allmendinger WON - 2
Misan Akuya (630) Jamie McMurray finished 14th - 1
James Broomhead (613) Marcos Ambrose finished 2nd - 2
Next Race: After such a hard weekend for many in the racing community, a feel-good victory certainly helped. But, the feeling of victory will wear off when business picks up once again. Where it picks up is just as important, because all the auto makers will be looking on.
The next race on the docket is once again in the Irish Hills of Michigan, where the Michigan International Speedway welcomes NASCAR once again, and for the final time this season.
Writers, have your picks locked in by Thursday, August 14, at 10 p.m. ET for the Pure Michigan 400.

Thread: Indiana University?
October 20th, 2007 #1
Indiana University?
I've been considering Indiana University for an MFA, and wanted to know if anyone has an idea of how good a school it is for illustration. They don't have a specific program for that, but I'm trying to look into the faculty to see if there's someone I could study with in particular. Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that my figure teacher got her MFA at Indiana University, so if I'm right, they seem to have a decent program. She was a fine arts major, however, so there might be a bit of a difference. From the way she made it sound, each student is assigned a studio and they work on their own projects at their own pace. You could possibly make the program work for you--keep doing research. I hope there's someone around who knows more about it than me.

What is it that you want to accomplish and what are your goals? Fine art is such a vague term now, and can mean anything form high realism to installation art. Are you looking for a career in concept art? Do you want to paint in the "academic" style? Why do you want a MFA?
October 22nd, 2007 #4
I know several artists who got their MFA at Indiana. One of my instructors got their degree there and even returned to teach for a while before moving to Sarasota. Great school from what I hear. Not sure about what to do with illustration.
October 22nd, 2007 #5
My goal is to be a comic book illustrator, but am looking in to an MFA because I want to teach later. The reason I'm looking at IU is because it looks like I'll be relocating to that area come next Fall, and while I'm considering working and building my portfolio for a year or two instead (no rush for the MFA), I'd also like to stay in school for now if possible.
As for the type of art program, it looks like a good number of the painting faculty lean towards traditional and figurative art, rather than what normally passes for fine art these days. I've written to the head of the department and am waiting for a response, so I figured I'd ask around about the school here in the meantime.

Gould said BGE doesn't want a repeat of Hurricane Irene last year, when the utility offered "very specific estimates" and aggravated customers when it couldn't meet them.
Still, Rawlings-Blake criticized BGE for what she called an inadequate response to the storm. The city opened shelters Monday night at Baltimore Junior Academy and Dawson Family Safe Haven Center with 75 beds each for families affected by the storms.
"Right now, our restoration rate has fallen behind the state average," she said Monday. "We should be on par or above the state average. We have the state's concentration of elderly, the state's concentration of poor."
As of 8:30 p.m. Monday, power had been restored to 72 percent of BGE customers who lost it areawide, compared with 66 percent in Baltimore City.
Hank Greenberg, state director for AARP Maryland, the organization for people 50 and older, criticized the utility for providing information so vague that customers couldn't plan.
"It doesn't help to tell everyone that 'we'll have you back up seven to nine days after the storm,'" said Greenberg, who lives in Crownsville and had no power as of late Monday afternoon. "I don't think that's an adequate response. I think … the company knows [in] what order they're going to be doing restoration."
Gov. Martin O'Malley defended the utility's response but also pledged to keep urging BGE and Washington-area utility Pepco to make haste.
"I think we have to acknowledge the perception that people rightly have, that there are not as many crews out there as they saw immediately after Hurricane Irene struck," O'Malley said. "That is because we suffered a hit that was the equivalent of a hurricane impact and the power outages that a hurricane causes, and yet we did not have the four days of warning that would have allowed BGE to bring in crews from other states."
Friday's storms were part of what meteorologists call a "derecho," a Spanish word meaning "straight ahead." The storms began forming early Friday afternoon in Indiana and built intensity as they moved 600 miles to Maryland.
Lower evening temperatures and obstacles such as the Appalachian Mountains made it hard to predict whether the storms would weaken before reaching Maryland, as they often do, said Greg Carbin, warning coordination meterologist for the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
BGE officials say their crews are working overtime on power restoration. Meter readers, for instance, have been reassigned to look for safety problems such as downed power lines, they said.
"We are sparing no expense; we are sparing no effort," Gould said.
Police did not report any looting or crime spike in the power outages' wake, but some thieves have taken advantage.
Four city-owned generators were stolen from intersections where they had been set up to power high-volume traffic signals in Southwest and Northwest Baltimore, said city police Deputy Commissioner John Skinner. Police also noted reports of burglaries, including several break-ins at city schools.
Baltimore County police said Monday two generators were stolen in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 1 — one from the 200 block of Gaywood Road and the other from the 6300 block of Pinehurst Road in Rodgers Forge.
Transportation officials had warned of a treacherous Monday commute, with downed trees and wires still blocking roads and traffic signals without power. But they reported few problems on area roadways. Col. Marcus Brown, superintendent of the Maryland State Police, said there were no injuries at intersections during the morning commute, and State Highway Administration officials reported no major accidents and lighter traffic because of the holiday this week and state and federal liberal-leave policies, spokesman Dave Buck said.
"The public did a very good job with how they handled these intersections," Brown said.
At least 75 traffic signals were not operating Monday on major arteries around the state, down from about 600 signal outages at the height of the storm, Brown said.
In Baltimore County, 24 roads and intersections remained without power as of 2:30 p.m. Monday but that figure was expected to decline as utility crews continued to work to restore power, county Police Chief James W. Johnson said. Twenty roads remained closed Monday afternoon because of to downed wires, county police spokeswoman Elise Armacost said.
"So far, everyone is being cautious, patient and courteous through the dark intersections," Buck said. "People are treating those like four-way stops."

Poor fit
Par PWDMolly
de Vancouver Island, BC
I really liked the look of this jacket; the colour, style and the material and it seemed to be well made. I normally take size 16, L or XL, but this in XL was way too tight across the back and the sleeves. Unfortunate, because I was really looking forward to receiving it, but I had to return it.

BEAUTIFUL JACKET, sizing is off tho
Par Bling Chick
de B.C.
This jacket is absolutely beautiful and I would have kept it, but sadly, it was too small for me. I hope that Cojo will bring it back again, only make a size adjustment. I was looking so forward to having this jacket for this fall, but that isn't going to happen. I ordered it in a xxl but the sizing isn't anywhere close to the size chart. Please Cojo, LARGER SIZING.
En résumé
Oui, je recommanderais ceci à un ami
A little too snug
Par Countrygal
de Southern Alberta
Once again a little surprised, because going by the measurement chart, this should of fit. I agree with the previous lady, the sleeves are too tight. If this is one of your problem areas, I would buy with caution. His line however, is excellent and made in Canada, yahoo!!

Sampson said she casually made the same suggestion to Nora, because there wasn't anything her daughter really needed for her birthday. She felt it was a good opportunity to teach a lesson about giving back to one's community.
"I know I have too much stuff, and it's better to donate it to someone or something that needs it more," said Nora.
Janco said she admires the girls for their support of her organization, especially giving up their birthday presents. "They are very special little girls," she said.

created unnecessary confusion. The other is that the panels were recruited for their technical and market expertise, which did not necessarily include the expertise in decision analysis and benefits estimation that is required to produce a panel report.
Presenting the results. The panels uniformly observed that the matrix does not present the whole story of their evaluation. At best, it leaves out nuances important to understanding the significance of the benefit calculation. At worst, the matrix without further explanation could mislead decision makers.

Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along:
38 weeks 3 days
Size of baby:
According to The Bump, baby girl is the size of a pumpkin this week
Maternity Clothes:
Yes and no. Still wearing a mixture of both on top and pretty much anything that fits and is comfy but I will admit that the belly has grown to a size that most non-maternity tops don't completely cover it. Maternity pants for months though!
I can't wait to get back into my pre-pregnancy blouses since they're my favorite tops.
For the most part she's still a wiggle worm but I had my first "no movement for a significant amount of time" scare yesterday. Since that, she's been pretty regular with her movements again which I'm very thankful for.
Sleep is still not going so well. Some nights are better than others but I definitely get up more times then ever for a potty break. I truly miss all the amazing nights of sleep I used to get.
What I miss:
Still really miss sleeping on my stomach the most but I also really miss being comfortable and not having to pee all the time. Oh and because the past two months the belly has done some significant growing, I've got some ridiculous stretch marks popping up and I hate them. I miss my stretch mark free body :(
Cravings are ridiculous for me in these last few weeks. I truly feel like they've been so much stronger and more "I have to have it" then ever before. Right at this moment all I can think about is the Subway tuna sandwich on honey oat I'm about to go indulge in!
This past weekend I couldn't get enough raspberries, granny smith apples and I keep indulging in some egg-free cookie dough that I found the recipe for on pinterest!
I think I've eaten my weight in blueberry yogurt throughout this pregnancy and also in clementines. Those are for sure my consistent favorites.
My back pain is still my number one complaint but I've added indigestion & heartburn back into the mix lately (even though I'm still on Nexium daily) as well as the frequent bathroom trips and lack of sleep. And I really could go on and on about how uncomfortable I am lately. Also, I'm super tired most of the day, no matter if I just woke up or have been going all day.
Favorite Moment(s) This Week:
We got our stroller late last week and I finally put it together on Saturday. I love that the whole system is ready for our little girl when she decides she's ready to make her debut. My parents also sent the bassinet they used with my brother and me with my Aunt who was coming back to town on Sunday and she dropped it off for us. I set it up next to my side of the bed and can't wait for her to finish the bedding for it so it will be completely ready as well.
Worst Moment(s) This Week:
I'll expand on the scare just for documents sake. On Sunday she wasn't moving much at all and I honestly kept thinking about it but kept forgetting too if that makes sense. However, neither Allen nor I slept very well Sunday night and when he woke up for work around 5:30am I stayed awake reading a book I've gotten into since I couldn't fall back asleep. By 6:30am I was hungry and got up to make myself some scrambled eggs and had a blueberry yogurt as well. I laid back down in bed thinking I would attempt to fall back asleep when it hit me that I hadn't felt her the entire time I'd been awake. I had some orange juice and continued reading but eventually I did fall back asleep. I woke about 10am or so and had this nagging feeling that it was just too odd to not be feeling her at all so I called my doctor's office. When I hadn't heard back by 11am I got dressed and just went up there. They of course were busy so I was told to have a seat and they would get me as soon as they could. As soon as I sat down she started having hiccups (which I knew was a great sign) but I went ahead and stayed to get checked out. I had stressed myself out enough that my blood pressure was of course higher than it's ever been but thankfully not at a scary number. My doctor checked my cervix only to find that it's still closed for business and then did an ultrasound to check on Betty. She was moving around, her heartbeat was great and my fluid levels were just fine. Whew!
He made me more aware of how many movements I should feel during an hour and if I don't then I'm to have something sugary, wait a little while and if she still isn't moving then to come back in. He wasn't pleased with me that I went all Sunday without calling him to have her checked but thankfully she's just fine. He also started the discussion with us on how long I want to stay pregnant and our options for induction and of course the possibility of a c-section if needed. If I didn't feel like time was ticking fast before then I for sure do now. So much for us to decide on!

Pittsburgh Senior
PROS: A smooth athlete with good size which he'll use to shield away defenders and make the catch in traffic. Shows some ability as a blocker downfield.
CONS: Has average hands and body catches too much. Needs to improve his concentration. Doesn't always attack the bal in the air and needs to time his jumps better. Lacks speed and explosiveness to get separation from defenders. Doesn't give great effort as a blocker and has a thin build.
OVERVIEW: Has good size to compete at the next level, but doesn't show much of anything else. Has made limited improvement over the course of his Pitt career. Had a very strong start, combining for 80 catches, 1156 yards, and 13 touchdowns in his first two seasons. But fell by the wayside the past two years, combining for just 42 catches, 525 yards and 2 scores. Has NFL bloodlines, his father Odessa played WR for Giants and 49ers (1987-93).
NFL FORECAST: Turner just didn't show much improvement as his Pitt career progressed, where he was the team's top playmaker at wide receiver as a freshman and sophomore, he essentially become their third or fourth best option by his senior year. You like his size, but he isn't a natural receiver, just more of a big guy. He's a good athlete, but lacks the speed and burst you want to see in a player with his athleticism. If he can impact on special teams, he has a chance of sticking in the pros, but he isn't much of an option on offense. He's not going to be a guy that can be anything more than a No. 5 wideout that can play gunner on punt coverage.
ATL FORECAST: He can come in and compete in Atlatna, but doesn't stand much of a chance to make the roster unless he is really impressive on special teams. Unless that happens, he's really nothing more than a camp body that might be able to impress a bit against some of the smaller Falcons defensive backs, but that's about it.
VALUE: He's not worth a draft pick, but a look in camp.

You can imagine Jane Hambleton was pissed when she found booze under the front seat of her son Steven's car, and grounding did not seem like enough of a punishment. "I'll show that little bugger who's boss," she said to herself. And she put an ad in the local paper, the Iowa Register:
OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet.
Well! She thought she would get a response but didn't think it would be from all the way in New York! First, Good Morning America flew the family out to appear on the show. Then Jane got a call from Today — apparently they were so charmed by the Hambletons, they were going to break their hard and fast don't–touch–it–if–it's–been–breathed–on–by–Diane Sawyer rule. But then Oprah called, and she wanted exclusivity. Then Ellen called, and she wanted exclusivity. Everyone wanted a piece of the Hambletons! What would they do? They threw up their hands. "These people are crazy!" they said to themselves. "Let's go back to Iowa to figure it out. Things are simpler there."

What kind of battery for adventuring, is Lithium up to the challenge?

As for running heated gear, GPS , heated grips etc, as long as you don't draw more than your alternator puts out, your battery will stay charged just fine. A small panel voltmeter is all you need to tell that. If it drops below 13V or so your charging system/alternator is not keeping up with the loads on the bike, and starts to draw on the battery. If you were to ride a long way in this configuration, your battery would eventually die.
I size my loads on the bike I'm riding to always leave some overhead watts so the alternator can keep up. I don't count on any kind of battery to run my heated gear directly since they will all run down quick.
Even my Husaberg FE390 dirtbike has 200Watts out and running a Gerbings heated jacket liner, heated grips, the EFI system, GPS and my 44Watt LED headlight, I have 80+ watts left over and my alternator on that bike easily keeps the Shorai in it as fully charged as it can be. I would think BMW's have even larger alternators.
My KTM 990 (~450watts) has even more power out and has no problem keeping any battery on the bike fully charged along with EFI, heated gear, HID lights, navigation, etc. even on short rides. If you are managing your loads properly, you should basically never be drawing from your battery while the engine is running.
keep in mind we are talking about an adventure bike ... and we all know that nothing ever goes wrong in the middle of nowhere
sure would be nice to be able to crank that heavy pig of a bike over .. and over and over .... clearing that bad load of fuel out, etc.
don't know about you, but I'd want that extra amp hour capacity to deliver that reserve cranking with me.
another factor to keep in mind is LiFePO4 batteries operate on a different voltage scale as lead acid. think in terms of pressure in a pipe... meaning charging voltage has to be higher than resting voltage of battery to push a charge into battery.
depending on charge state of your battery, 13v my not be enough to charge your LiFePO4 battery back up to full.

Remember Me
During the production, The Pinker Tones spend some time with Christopher Lee, who is narrating the programme. Encouraged by his enthusiasm for the music, which he insists in his trademark thick baritone is surely part of their artistic future, The Pinker Tones are born and Mr Lee learns where to buy the best chipironess and prawns.From the first day, The Pinker Tones sessions release locked up energy and potential, causing our heroes to work like crazy, producing the songs and remixes that will become their debut collection PINK CONNECTION and the maxi singles Mais Pourquoi? and One of Them.
The tracks are released by a small local label, but quickly come to international attention thanks to the incredible video for Mais Pourquoi, which spends 19 weeks on the MTV Dance Chart. The band are snapped up by UK based Outstanding Records, who re-issue Pink Connection with the international title BCN CONNECTION, and quickly move to open up the world to the Pinker Tones sound, signing licences across the world which sees the record released from Japan to Mexico.
Whilst the album travels around the world, the band produce several albums and singles of national and international groups (Bondage, ExMundus, Veldt, David Devant & His Spirit Wife), compose a pair of sound tracks (Sincopat and Survival Train) and dedicate a part of their time to experiment with remixes (Carrots, Alessandroni, Ufo, Capri, Klaus Esser, etc.). They leave the centre of Barcelona and establish Pinkerland 3.0. in the mountains overlooking the city, and begin work on the album that will pass all expectations and hoist them on to the world stage: THE MILLION COLOUR REVOLUTION. Released as a joint venture between Outstanding and their own Pinkerland Records impront, TMCR quickly conquers more than forty countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Japan, Korea, EE.UU., Canada, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela. The band realise they need a live show, and recruit DJ Nino to create a hybrid: The intensity of a rock band with the electronic dynamics of the DJ.
Festivals topple before the mash up, with Sonar and Bestival early victims before BAM concludes with a hometown appearance in front of 30,000 rain soaked devotees.The world touring starts, China, Russia, South Africa, UK, and a love/love relationship develops with Los Angeles, particularly Hollywood who snap up the band's soundtrack anthems for programmes such as Ugly Betty and Entourage, films Mujer de mi Hermano and Efectos Secondarios, and games like FIFA ' 07 and FORZA 2. Whole page reviews in The New York Times and The Washington Post confirm their arrival, and Amazon.com choose THE MILLION COLOUR REVOLUTION as 6th best album of 2006.
Somewhere in the middle of all the madness, Manso and Furia find time to collaborate with Kinky, Nortec Collective, Torpedo Boyz, Submarines, MiS and many others to create the double album of remixes MORE COLOURS, reinterpretations and remixes of TMCR done by various artists and the band themselves. Videos win awards (Karma Hunters wins two - both a LAUS and the Festival of Cinema Malaga), the tour goes to places that aren't even on the map (Moldova? Kazan?), and the band starts work on the follow up.WILD ANIMALS is released in April 2008 and immediately displaces Radiohead's In Rainbows at the top of the eMusic chart. The Pinker Tones then briefly stop to headline Sonar in front of 20,000 people before undertaking the longest tour of the USA ever staged by a Spanish group, touching down in 45 cities in 54 days as part of the VANS WARPED TOUR 2008.As a result of the tour, TPT songs pop up in Nick and Norah' s Infinite Playlist and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Nike asks the band to compose a special song for the Human Race, and TPT headline the event in Madrid in front of 11,000 runners. On the tour bus in America they are contacted by publicist and writer Risto Mejide, who convinces them to they produce the debut disc of his OT protege, Virginia Maestro.
The project is called Labuat and sees the light of day in February of 2009, with tracks partly composed by the band. The following month, the Spanish music industry decides to recognise the hardest working band in national music with a Premios de la Musica for best electronic track S.E.X.Y. R.O.B.O.T.They dedicate the second half of 2009 to producing the group Delafé y Las Flores Azules' third album, in the brand new studio, Pinkerland 4.0 (also located in the Sierra de Collserola).Around the same time Pinkerland Films is born, the multimedia division of Pinkerland Records, which launches with the first app by a group in Spain for iPhone and iPod Touch.Immediately after this the band begins a weekly video podcast, which goes in and out of the iTunes Spain Top 10 from its very first episode.In the last year, TPT has also remixed artists like The Beastie Boys, Tom Tom Club, Eric Bobo (Cypress Hill), Salvador Santana Band, Josh Rouse, Kinky, Plastilina Mosh and DePedro.In June 2010 they release a new album, MODULAR, in Spain and the US. The drummer Robert Giabaqui joins them for the tour as well as recording drums for the album.The album is presented at festivals like SóNAR (Barcelona), FIB (Benicassim) o VIVE LATINO (Mexico DF) and the band heads off to the US for a further three-week tour.In December of the same year the band release an online Christmas EP featuring 4 tracks which is called CHRISTMAS IN FOUR MOODS.At the start of 2011 the band are approached by the Joan Miro Foundation and invited to participate in the exhibition GENIUS LOCI.The band decide to conceptually recreate the track Sampleame (Sample me) which talks about one of the great artistic disciplines of the 21st century, sampling.The exhibition has impressive media coverage, as it also involves well-known bands from the Barcelona music scene like Mishima, Manos de Topo, Standstill and Els Amics de les Arts.Also at the beginning of the year, in the midst of celebrating 10 years as a band, TPT move to Gracia, neighbourhood of Barcelona, where Pinkerland 5.0 is now located.
In the summer of the same year the compilation THE SINGLES 2001-2011 is released, which includes all their greatest hits, as well as the tribute album AMIGOS & FRIENDS that features both national and international bands playing covers from the group's extensive discography.The album includes covers by Miqui Puig, Cathy Claret & Esteban Garcia, Delafé y Las Flores Azules & Carlos Jean, Zahara, Virigina Labuat & Matias Sorokin y Max Miglin, Pecker, Tom Tom Club, Ovni, Maika Makovski, Love of Lesbian, Ayala, Brazzaville, Shuarma, Ritmo Machine (Eric Bobo & Latin Bitman), Gentle Music Men, Depedro, Juzz Ubach & Morti and Berto Romero.In the Spring they win the European battle of the bands competition organised by Nissan. And the MODULAR tour comes to an exciting end in a packed Sant Jaume Square (Barcelona) during the La Mercè 2011 Festival. In November 2011 the band's music video for "Tokyo" from the album MODULAR wins the FIVECC award for best video at the Festival de cine de Alicante. The video was produced and made by the production company Rollout.

When you think about Johnny Depp the actor, what words come to mind? Eccentric genius? Talent of a generation? How about giggling seventh grade boy? "I guess everyone knows he has a fart machine?" asked Cruz, before discussing Johnny Depp's fart machine during her interview on Jimmy Kimmel. "He fooled me once when we were doing Blow. I was doing a very dramatic close-up, and he kept making that sound with the machine … I was just thinking, 'I hope they're not thinking it's me.' " So this whole time we could have been enjoying Blow for the dramatic performances AND the sounds of explosive flatulence? That Depp had vision.
If you thought maturity and his commitment to the craft would temper Depp's childish tendencies, well, you'd be delightful wrong. "When I met him 10 years ago, he had a plastic [fart machine], and now, 10 years later, he has one with a remote control," Cruz, co-starring with Depp in Pirates of the Carribbean: On Stranger Tides, said. After fooling Jerry Bruckheimer, Johnny insisted on breaking faux wind in front of director Rob Marshall, pretending to be sick…all day. Johnny Depp: the performer, the legend, the master of a tooting robot.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Greg Jennings had just finished up a workout as part of the Minnesota Vikings offseason conditioning program last week when reporters gathered around Minnesota's new receiver and asked Jennings if seeing "Vikings" spelled out across his shirt was a strange sight. Jennings looked down at the "Vikings" across his chest and seemed like he hadn't pondered the question before. "No, it doesn't," Jennings said "Actually it looks really good. . . . It fits really nicely." Surely Jennings had thought about donning the purple uniform when he signed a five-year, 45 million contract with Minnesota in March. But this was Jennings first show to the public in the colors and lettering of his new team. After seven years with the Green Bay Packers, it would be natural for the wording to take some getting used to. There have been some changes Jennings wasn't prepared for such as, he says, the higher cost of living in the Twin Cities but the veteran receiver expected to repla...

Well he has changed camps and one would assume therefore strength and conditioning coach right? That could be the difference there...
Anyway so happy to see Tibau get a guillotine win! Seems to me I think he beat Dunham or Khabib by sub where whomever it was appeared to tap and then wound up decisioning him. So this is making me very happy! Also damn he's been in the UFC for a long ass time! Nov 2006 and 13-6. Nice to see.

Remember Jetgate? Back in the pre-bankruptcy days of late 2008, when the Big Three CEO's were traveling to Washington to plead their case for funds, Ford's Alan Mulally, General Motors' then-CEO Rick Wagoner, and Chrysler's former chief Bob Nardelli were publicly chastised for flying in corporate jets to the tune of $20,000 per round trip.
Two years earlier, Ford president Mark Fields became a target of outrage when a Detroit-area TV station discovered that his employment contract included $50,000-$70,000 worth of private jet service per week to ship Fields between Dearborn and his home in Florida.
Now this: The New York Times is reporting that Ford spent spent $178,571 on personal air travel for Mulally last year. While Ford no longer has a fleet of corporate jets, according to the report, it pays a charter service to transport Mulally and his kin. And that's not all. Since this benefit is classified as "security measures," Mulally gets off the hook for paying taxes on it, as he doesn't have to report the benefit as income, according to the Times. Mulally received nearly $30 million in compensation last year, according to other reports.
While Ford refused comment, the article calls out the company for using this "common corporate tax trick" that it says robs the federal government of tax revenue from CEO's like Mulally, meaning that taxpayers are essentially subsidizing his perks.
While the report concerns various corporate executives, it singles out Mulally, suggesting that any potential danger to Ford's CEO has to be less than that posed to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who flies commercial airlines. The Times also says that former Apple CEO Steve Jobs "received no security services from Apple last year before he died."

It's looking more and more like all those conspiracy flag-football theories were for naught. The Hawks are off to a great start and Josh Smith is strongly considering an extended stay in his hometown of Atlanta. For over 5 years, Atlanta has been stuck in no man's land: not good enough to truly contend for a title, and not bad enough to mix it up in the lottery. After new GM Danny Ferry traded away fringe-star Joe Johnson as well as draft bust Marvin Williams, many wondered if the Hawks could even be a solid playoff team. However, led by Al Horford and Josh Smith, they have put the doubts to rest. With tons of cap space opened up for 2013-2014, the Hawks look to go after max-players this off-season, such as Dwight Howard or Chris Paul. Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, JSmoove is starting to like the sound of "ATL fa Life". So, wh...

A dry etch process for use in the fabrication of integrated circuits which use SiN etch stop layers is disclosed. The process is conducted in a reactive-ion etch reactor and employs a gaseous etchant mixture comprised of octaflourocyclobutane (C4 F8), carbon monoxide (CO) and Ar. The specific process parameters effect the formation of a polymer on SiN but not on oxide, thereby resulting in a very high etch rate selectivity of the oxide to the nitride.
1. A dry etch process for use in the fabrication of an integrated circuit structure having a silicon nitride etch stop layer, said process comprising the steps of:
providing a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of gate stacks etched thereon, said gate stacks including a silicon nitride etch stop layer;
depositing an oxide layer over said silicon nitride etch stop layer; and
etching said oxide layer in an etch chamber of a reactive-ion etch reactor by means of a gas etchant mixture including delivering C4 F8 to said etch chamber at a flow rate within a range of 4 to 20 sccm; delivering CO to said etch chamber at a flow rate within a range of 0 to 200 sccm; and delivering an inert gas to said etch chamber at a flow rate within a range of 50 to 250 sccm.
2. The dry etch process of claim 1 wherein said inert gas is Ar.
3. The process of claim 1, wherein the oxide is a resist masked dielectric oxide.
4. A dry etch process for use in the fabrication of an integrated circuit structure having a silicon nitride etch stop layer, said process comprising the steps of:
providing a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of gate stacks etched thereon, said gate stacks including a silicon nitride cap;
depositing a silicon nitride layer on said semiconductor wafer;
depositing an oxide layer over said silicon nitride liner;
etching said oxide layer in an etch chamber of a reactive-ion etch reactor by means of a gas etchant mixture including delivering C4 F8 to said etch chamber at a flow rate within a range of 4 to 20 sccm, delivering CO to said etch chamber at a flow rate within a range of 0 to 200 sccm, and delivering an inert gas to said etch chamber at a flow rate within a range of 50 to 250 sccm; and
etching said silicon nitride layer.
5. The dry etch process of claim 4 wherein said inert gas is Ar.
6. The dry etch process of claim 4 further including, after the step of depositing an oxide layer over said silicon nitride layer, the steps of:
planarizing said oxide layer; and
creating borderless contact patterns in said planarizing oxide layer.
7. The process of claim 4, wherein the oxide is a resist masked dielectric oxide.
1. Technical Field
This invention relates generally to the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits, and more specifically to a dry etch process for use with devices having a silicon nitride (SiN) etch stop layer. The process yields a high etch rate selectivity of oxide to nitride (i.e., the ratio of the etch rate of the oxide to the etch rate of the SiN) and thereby provides an advantage in the fabrication of borderless contact structures. The chemical etching process is carried out in a reactive ion etch reactor, utilizing a gaseous etchant mixture comprising a carbon-fluoride gas having the formula C4 F8, an inert gas, preferably Ar and optionally, carbon oxide gas, CO.
2. Background Art
The cell size of dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) can be decreased by as much as 40% by using bitline contacts that are borderless to wordlines. A feature integral to the formation of borderless contacts is the use of etch stop layers, an example of which is silicon nitride,Si3 N4 (SiN).
The SiN etch stop process is the most promising method for forming borderless contacts on devices with dimensions below 0.5 μm. Due to these narrow contact dimensions, a very thin SiN etch stop layer is used in order to maximize contact area and minimize contact resistance. Therefore, a very high etch rate selectivity between oxides, such as phospho-silicate glass and SiN is required for the fabrication of integrated circuits that use SiN etch stop layers.
High oxide to SiN etch rate selectivity has previously been obtained using process chemistries such as C2 F6 and C3 F8. These processes have been performed on unique, and/or one-of-a-kind process tools which have not found wide acceptance in the microelectronics manufacturing industry. In addition, the ability to selectively etch oxide over nitride when the underlying SiN topography was not flat, i.e., has greater than one depth, has been a technologic roadblock.
It is known in the prior art that the manufacture of multilayer structures typically involves patterned etching of areas of the semiconductor surface which are covered by a photoresist protective material. One well known etching technique is reactive ion etching (RIE). This process involves positioning a semiconductor wafer in a reaction chamber and feeding etchant gases into the chamber. The etchant gases are dissociated in an RF field so that ions contained in the etchant gases are accelerated to the wafer surface. The accelerated ions combine chemically with unmasked material on the wafer surface. As a result, volatile etch product is produced and is incorporated into the plasma. The concentration of the volatile etch product can be tracked in order to determine the end-point of the RIE process, i.e., when the chemical reaction has removed the desired level of material from the wafer surface. During the RIE process, a single layer or multiple layers of material or film may be removed. These materials may include, for example, SiN, PSG, silicon dioxide (SiO2) and poly-silicon (PSi).
U.S. Pat. No. 5,266,154, issued Nov. 30, 1993 to Tatsumi, discloses a dry etch method which can be applied to contact hole formation in which octafluorocyclobutane is used as the etching gas to etch an SiO2 inter-layer insulation film.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,286,344, issued Feb. 15, 1994 to Blalock et al., discloses a process for selectively etching a layer of SiO2 on an underlying stop layer of SiN. This process utilizes a fluorinated chemical etchant system, comprising an etchant material and an additive material. The additive material comprises a fluorocarbon material in which the number of hydrogen atoms is equal to or greater than the number of fluorine atoms. Preferably, the additive material is CH2 F2. The etchant material comprises at least one of CHF3, CF4 or Ar.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,173,151, issued Dec. 22, 1992 to Namose, discloses a dry chemical etching method for etching one or more deposited Si or SiO2 layers, utilizing an etching medium comprised of Cn F2n+2, wherein n is an integer, and an inert gas, such as He or Ar.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,176,790 issued Jan. 5, 1993 to Arleo et al., teaches a process for etching through an insulation layer over a metal layer, without an etch stop layer, on a semiconductor wafer which comprises plasma etching the insulation layer with a fluorine-containing gaseous etchant mixture. The mixture will include one or more 3-6 carbon fluorinated hydrocarbon gases either alone or in combination with one or more nitrogen-containing gases.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,302,236, issued on Apr. 12, 1994 to Tahara et al., discloses a method of etching an oxide or nitride film with a gaseous etchant mixture of a fluorine-containing gas and a sufficiently greater volume of carbon monoxide gas.
None of the prior art teaches a dry etch process for creating borderless contacts in small dimensional structures utilizing silicon nitride etch stop layers. Previous process chemistries, such as C2 F6 and C3 F8, which have been utilized to provide high oxide-nitride etch rate selectivity have found application only with unique, or one-of-a-kind process tools.
Therefore, there existed a need to provide a process for use in fabricating small sized structures utilizing silicon nitride etch stop liners, which results in a high etch selectivity between oxide and the nitride liner.
According to the present invention, a dry etch process is disclosed for the fabrication of borderless contacts in devices using silicon nitride etch stop layers. The process has been demonstrated for devices having contact dimensions as narrow as 0.18 to 0.25 μm. The process results in high etch selectivity between oxides, such as phospho and boro phosphosilicate glass, and the SiN etch stop layer.
The process utilizes a C4 F8 /CO/Ar chemical etchant mixture in a reactive ion etch (RIE) reactor and results in the formation of a polymer which deposits on the nitride liner, but not on the oxide. The stoichiometry of the polymer is a result of the gaseous etchant mixture and process parameters of the etch. The specific combination employed in the dry etch of the present invention maximizes the concentration of C-rich species such as C2 F4, which provide high selectivity, and minimizes the concentration of F-rich species, such as CF3, which result in low selectivity. Following the selective reactive-ion etch of the oxide layer, the SiN layer is removed by means such as a CHF3, CF4 /O2 RIE.
In preparing the gate stack, silicon nitride is the preferable gate cap. This allows the use of a much thinner silicon nitride etch stop liner, as the gate cap provides extra protection against erosion during the oxide chemical the sidewalls of the gate stack, contact area is increased and contact resistance is decreased. If SiO2 were instead used as the gate cap, a much thicker nitride liner is required.
Due to the greatly increased selectivity of oxide to nitride, the process of the present invention has an important application in the etching of an integrated circuit structure where the underlying topography is not flat.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, where like designations denote like elements, and:
FIG. 1A is a schematic representation of the gate stack of the integrated circuit structure (ICS) of the present invention;
FIG. 1B is a schematic representation of the gate stack of the ICS of the present invention following the gate etch;
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the ICS following the deposition of the SiN liner;
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the ICS following the deposition and planarization of the oxide;
FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the ICS following the oxide etch; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the ICS following the etch/removal of the SiN liner.
Referring to the figures, FIG. 1A illustrates a gate stack 10 which is comprised of a first underlying film 11 and a gate cap 12. In the preferred embodiment, first underlying film 11 is comprised of polysilicon, alone or with a layer of tungsten silicide and gate cap 12 is comprised of SiN.
To initiate the process, gate stack 10 is etched and the resulting sidewalls 13 of gate stack 10 are oxidized, FIG. 1B, followed by the deposition of a thin SiN liner 14, FIG. 2. In an alternate embodiment, a thin SiN spacer may be deposited and etched along sidewalls 13 prior to the deposition of SiN liner 14. Next, an upper layer 15 of oxide, e.g., phosphsilicate glass or borophosphosicate glass, is deposited by means such as low pressure chemical vapor deposition, FIG. 3. Optionally, upper layer 15 may then be planarized by means such as chemical-mechanical polishing. Following the planarization, deep UV lithography is used to form borderless contact patterns in the oxide.
After the formation of the contact patterns, upper oxide layer 15 is dry etched with very high selectivity to nitride liner 14, FIG. 4. The etch is conducted in a reactive ion etch reactor (e.g. an AME5000, manufactured by Applied Materials) utilizing a gas etchant mixture comprising C4 F8 /CO/Ar. The preferred process parameters for the oxide etch are as follows:
600-1100 W rf. Power at 13.6 MHz to the cathode
30-125 mT
0-100 gauss
4-20 sccm C4 F8
0-200 sccm CO
50-250 sccm Ar
0-60� C. cathode temperature
20-65� C. chamber wall temperature
quartz-ring electrostatic chuck or vespel-ring clamp
Optical emission endpoint at 3865 Å
The composition of the etchant gas mixture is within the following ranges: C4 F8, 0.5 to 5%; CO, 0 to 78%; and Ar, 18 to 97%. Although the presence of CO is not mandatory, it does provide a distinct advantage, namely, the ability to etch high aspect ratio features. The addition of an inert gas, preferably, Ar, to the etchant gas mixture provides an etching that is substantially vertical, i.e., without a taper. Other inert gases, such as the noble gases He, Kr, Xe and Ne, may also be used. Without the inert gas, a purely fluorinecontaining etchant gas typically will result in a etch that is tapered inwardly toward the bottom by as much as 20� from the vertical.
Following the etch of oxide layer 15, SiN liner 14 is anisotropically etched, such that SiN liner 14 is removed from the horizontal surfaces of gate stack 10, but not from gate stack sidewalls 13.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred exemplary embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

2013 Porsche Cayman official images released
No surprises
The first official images with the 2013 Porsche Cayman have been released, showing strong Boxster influences.
The design holds no surprises as we have already seen the second-gen Cayman almost undisguised a couple of weeks ago. Essentially a coupe version of the Boxster, the new model adopts a sleek rear hatch and features a prominent spoiler.
Engine lineup will be borrowed from its open-top sibling and will include a 2.7-liter flat-six with 265 HP (195 kW) and 206 lb-ft (280 Nm), along with a larger 3.4-liter flat-six producing 315 HP (232 kW) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque.
Full details coming very soon.

Looks good enought for me
Nov 28, 2012 8:53 pm
It looks great. Much better than the previous version. Porsche have really nailed the styling with the new Boxster/Cayman. But I still have a gripe with having these as two separate models. They had a good opportunity with differentiating them with this model update but they didn't.
Nov 28, 2012 6:29 pm
I agree...I loved the last gen Cayman but this one was probably designed from the get-go as a coupe and it shows... Now it looks like a baby 911...
Nov 28, 2012 7:54 pm
No surprises lol
Nov 28, 2012 4:35 pm
the new Boxster and 911 got significant styling update, giving each a new personality. The Cayman is a really great car, but sadly got the least amount of attention to have it's own identity. No doubt its a good looking car now, but looking at it will just remind people that its a Boxster with a roof and not quite the 911. But overall, its a nice looking design.
Nov 28, 2012 2:17 pm
I don´t think that it was Porsche´s intention to remind people to the 911 with this design...if you like the 911, then buy the 911. This car is ca. 30% cheaper and looks awesome for its price. It shares its identity with the Boxster, as both cars are identical.
Nov 28, 2012 3:38 pm
What a pity ! New Boxster had so good design critics than Porsche didn't bother finding a real personality to the Cayman. They just did Boxster's copy/paste + roof = Cayman :(
Nov 28, 2012 2:00 pm
Exactly like they did last time and will do next time, because that's what a Cayman is. A Boxster hardtop.
Nov 28, 2012 3:28 pm
Still not a fan of the central exhaust nor the tail lights... Rest is great
Nov 28, 2012 12:16 pm
My question is : how do we distinguish this from the new Boxster?
Nov 28, 2012 11:49 am
Good point! Plus the chrome hatch lining on the Boxster is more pronounced, besides that there's not much telling these two apart...
Nov 28, 2012 12:02 pm
The front bumper is different, as per the last gen Boxster/Cayman. Personally I don't get the way a Cayman costs more than a Boxster... it's the hard top model that costs more than it's soft top version!
Nov 28, 2012 4:37 pm
Looks very good. Interesting new color, some kind of lemon yellow....

Has anyone ever done these? There is one for corn near me, but that's about it. I've always wondered how people find out about them? And if they are worth it? Any insight?

u-pick farms are awesome!
I love not only the fresh picked fruit but the experience of picking my own. (I've done blueberries, peaches, strawberries and raspberries) and the prices are better than the farmer market.
I have several that are local. The closest does blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. BUT the prices are more expensive than the grocery store. I haven't found it worth it. Yeah the crops aren't GMO but they are still sprayed AND they are no cheaper. If my kids were city kids with no farms around or kids who didn't know where food comes from or kids without a large garden, it might be worth it to take them and let them experience picking your own food. But that's not the case for us. Seems silly to pay more AND have to pick it yourself when it's not better quality.
Sativarain, how did you find out about them?

We have lots of u-pick farms in my area. The problem is they are really $$$. I can get a bit better in price at the Farmer's market plus it is already picked.
We had a good experience picking blueberries - the per-pound price was much cheaper than what we could get at any store or farmers' market in the city. It was a fun day w/ friends, too. We ended up picking about 20 lbs. and froze it all for the fall/winter. Yum!
Mom "D" to DD1 "Z" (15) and DD2 "I" (12) DH "M"
There are several organic farms in our county that have u-pick. We go many times over the summer. We meet friends and make an outting of it by bringing a picnic lunch. The kids LOVE it! Most of the places are on an honor system and just have a box to leave your money. By the pound it is slightly cheaper than the farmers market or grocery store.
You can find a spot near you on this website:
We have quite a few - some are worth it to me and some are not.
We have a great organic blueberry farm about 45minutes away. We pick some and then I buy ~40 pounds of prepicked frozen and they last us until the next season - it's worth the trip to me since it is less expensive than buying organic berries at the store or through UNFI.
We have one organic strawberry farm near but it is very small and they lost their crop last year because of freaky weather and I am afraid they didn't re-open this year. So unfortunately I am stuck buying frozen organic strawberries. I do not bother with the non-organic strawberry or apple orchards near us but a lot of people around here love them. We have no organic apple orchards in the area.
We grow our own pears, apples and blackberries and there is a small Upick raspberry patch in town. I buy a couple of bushels of peaches from a local farmer but I do not pick them myself even though it is an option. The peaches are sprayed with chemicals but I cannot find organic in our area and they are so much better than the peaches purchased at the store. After eating the local fresh peaches, we no longer like store bought.
Regarding how to find the farms...In our area, each county puts out a list of farms, what they offer, the growing season, etc. It can be found at the county tourism office or probably online.
I see you are in Chicago. Is there an organic blueberry farm in the Chicago area? (I live in between Chicago and Mishawaka and wasn't sure what was available in IL.) I go to this farm. It is a bit of a drive for you, but it is the only organic blueberry farm in Indiana.
We have various u-pick farms for fruits around here, like strawberries and blueberries. While I do like that, I only do blueberries in summer and apples in fall. They're all at least 1/2 hour's drive away so I get at least 10 lbs at a time. Apples can be kept for a long time, I also make apple butter. Blueberries are easily frozen and used later for baking or pancakes. Other fruit don't keep well, and we don't like to eat them frozen. I'd say they're mostly for fun only if you just plan to eat them. (Besides some of the farms have petting zoo, bouncy castle and all sorts of stuff.) However if you do eat frozen fruit, use them in smoothies, cereals, or make jam, they can be great for saving money (while using the best fresh ingredients).
*I myself don't like fruit very much. Fresh fruit tend to get rotten instead of eaten in my home. It's the veggies that get eaten up.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know there was an organic place! That time we drove to Michigan to pick - it was a two-hour drive, but I can't remember the name of the farm. In the summer we regularly drive 2-3 hours to get to friends' summer places, so we're used to it. PS I lived in Elkhart for a while as a kid.

There is a good apple one near us- about an hour and a half away maybe 2. I found that is about the same if not cheaper than the ones in the stores and these are organic. I try to get 40 or so lbs and make apple sauce and dry apples for winter and spring
I love our local u-pick places.
I've kind of ferreted out the ones I do and don't like, who's overpriced and who's not, what's worth buying at the farmer's market vs. driving an hour to a u-pick place with four kids, etc. Just takes time to find/figure out, and I have no qualms sharing my experiences with ladies in my mom's groups that are new to the area. Local u-pick strawberries, fully ripe! (unlike the ones at Costco that are still a third white) are much, much less than even Costco. And taste fabulous. I have yet to have someone reject a jar of my homemade jam (that doesn't have dyes or HFCS). ;)
But that said, I'm not a strict organic-only person. If I can find organic in my budget, rock on. Otherwise, I just talk with the growers/farmers, make sure I'm okay with their growing practices, and carry on. That expensive green sticker means nothing to me, really (other than those folks must spend a fair amount of time on paperwork).

It is a fun and valuable experience for the kids but no, no not from an economic perspective.
We loved picking blueberries for the second year in a row a few months ago. I'm not sure how my in-laws found out about it. I don't know how the price compared to the stores' because I don't usually pay attention to the price of the organic food I put in the cart, I'm just happy to find organic. The owners were pretty laid back and they let us eat a few (more than a few for our toddler daughter) as we picked.
Besides the resources other ladies offered already in this discussion, another way of finding out is driving by and seeing a sign. I live north of Tampa, Florida and driving between our house and my in-laws', I saw signs for two or three different u-pick farms, including one blackberry and one organic blackberry farm. If you can afford it and you have things to put the produce in (for example, my crockpot cracked but it is still together enough that I put at least a pound of blueberries in it), I highly recommend taking your children and picking some good food to bring home.
May God bless you and His Blessed Mother Mary keep you! :-)
We just picked raspberries today. The price isn't any better but is local food and my kids love it. Time outside, conversations about where food comes from, etc. Of course we aren't directly charged for the berries the kids eat either.
