Redskins QB Robert Griffin III vs. Falcons defense
While the Falcons' defense had stifled pocket passers in each of the first three games of the season, it struggled against the mobile, strong-armed Cam Newton in Week Four.
Coming off an embarrassing loss to the Giants in which he compiled a career low 40.6 passer rating, Newton completed 15-of-24 passes for 215 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He rushed for a career-high 86 yards and a TD on nine carries (9.6 average).
It was not enough to get the Panthers a win, but it did send a bit of a wake-up call to the Falcons' defense.
Atlanta will face a similar test in Week Five against Redskins QB Robert Griffin III, and the "D" should have a better idea of what it will take to slow down the rookie signalcaller, Falcons head coach Mike Smith acknowledged, after playing Carolina.
"We got an idea of what worked and what didn't work (vs. the Panthers)," Smith said. "We're going to be facing a very similar offense. Robert Griffin III is not nearly as big (as Newton). I think he's got more foot speed than the quarterback that we just played, so we're going to have some different issues."
Indeed — while RG3 is not as much of a load to bring down as Newton is, his quickness and elusiveness have wreaked havoc on defenses through the first quarter of the season. He's going to make explosive plays. The key for Atlanta is to limit them. The Falcons have to do a better job of tackling than they did last week against Newton and the Panthers.
Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan could consider putting a spy on RG3. It would commit five players — four defensive linemen and a linebacker — to the quarterback with six players dropping into coverage. It sounds like a fine plan, but, obviously, RG3 is athletic enough to elude the five defenders monitoring him in the pocket or make a play with his arm vs. six players in coverage.
Four games into his career, RG3 has taken a lot of hits, but he has shown no fear. He is fourth in the league in passer rating (103.2). He's second in the league in rushing among rookies (only teammate Alfred Morris is head of him) and he's tied for the league lead in rushing touchdowns (four). He has the potential to leave the Falcons' defense frustrated Sunday.

AG (access gate) polysilicon 140 is deposited over the FG/CG stack. See
As noted in the Duuren et al. article, the length of access gate 140 depends on the mask alignment, "which could lead to an odd-even word line effect in arrays".
Each bit 110L, 110R can be programmed or erased independently of the other bit. The bit can be programmed by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling (FN) or source side injection (SSI). The Duuren et al. article states that the two bit cell has been studied "with 180 bit arrays in a virtual ground configuration". The read, program (SSI) and erase voltages bit 110R are shown respectively in
In the cells of
It is desirable to provide improved memory cells.
This section summarizes some features of the invention. Other features are described in the subsequent sections. The invention is defined by the appended claims which are incorporated into this section by reference.
It is generally desirable to increase the cell current to speed up the cell operations (e.g. reading or programming). Some embodiments of the present invention provide ways to increase the current through the access gate transistor (also called "select gate transistor" below).
It is well known that a PMOS transistor current is increased if the transistor has an N+ doped polysilicon gate and the channel is counterdoped near the surface with a P type impurity (boron). Such PMOS transistors are called buried channel (BC) transistors because these transistors have more current flowing below the channel surface than at the channel surface. A disadvantage of the BC PMOS transistors is that they are more susceptible to the short channel effects. See Wolf, "Silicon Processing for the VLSI Era", vol. 3 ("The Submicron MOSFET") 1995, pages 288–311, incorporated herein by reference.
The inventor has observed that if a memory cell has a longer channel obtained by merging together the channel of the floating gate transistor and the channel of the select transistor, the short channel effects are less of a problem, so a buried channel transistor becomes an attractive way to increase the transistor current.
While the Wolf reference cited above relates to the PMOS transistors, it is believed that a similar effect (a larger current drive) should be obtainable with an NMOS transistor having a type P gate and a channel region counterdoped near the surface with an N type impurity.
Other features and advantages of the invention are described below. The invention is defined by the appended claims.
The embodiments described in this section illustrate but do not limit the invention. The invention is not limited to particular materials, process steps, or dimensions. The invention is defined by the appended claims.
One embodiment of the invention will now be described on the example of the memory array of
Substrate isolation trenches 220T run through the array in the X direction. Trenches 220T are filled with dielectric 220 (field isolation). Active areas 222 run through the array between the trenches 220T. Each active area 222 includes active areas of individual cells in one memory column. The active area of each cell consists of the cell's source/drain regions 174 and the P type channel region extending between the regions 174.
In each column, each two consecutive memory cells have their adjacent source/drain regions 174 merged into a single contiguous region (referenced by the same numeral 174). Each such region 174 provides the source/drain regions to only two of the memory cells in each column. In each column 1–4 (each column except the first column and the last column), each source/drain region 174 is connected to a source/drain region 174 of an adjacent column. The connections alternate, e.g. one source/drain region 174 in column 1 is connected to a source/drain region 174 in column 0, the next region 174 in column 1 is connected to region 174 in column 2, the next region 174 in column 1 is connected to region 174 in column 0, and so on. Bitline BL1 (column 1) is connected to those regions 174 of column 1 that are connected to column 0; bitline BL2 is connected to those regions 174 in column 1 that are connected to column 2, and so on. Bitlines BL0 and BL5 are each connected to only one column. In some embodiments, these two bitlines are shorted together.
As shown in
Some of the figures below illustrate vertical cross sections of intermediate structures obtained during the memory fabrication. The sectional planes are indicated in
In one embodiment, the memory is fabricated as follows. Substrate isolation regions 220 are formed in P doped substrate 120 by shallow trench isolation technology ("STI"). See
Substrate isolation regions are also formed in the memory peripheral area (not shown in
As shown in
Dopant is implanted into substrate 120 to form an N type region 604 underlying the memory array. Dopant is also implanted into the substrate around the array to form a surrounding N type region (not shown) extending from the top surface of substrate 120 down to region 604. These implants create a fully isolated P well 120W for the memory array. Region 604 is not shown in the subsequent drawings, and the P well 120W is shown simply as substrate 120.
Ion implantation steps ("Vt adjust implants") may be performed into the active areas of substrate 120 to adjust the transistor threshold voltages as needed. One such implant is an N type implant (e.g. arsenic) performed into the array to reduce the threshold voltage of the select gate transistors. This implant creates a counterdoped region 230 at the surface of substrate 120. Region 230 may remain type P, but the net P type dopant concentration in this region is reduced. It is believed that the select transistor (the transistor with gate 140 in
Silicon dioxide 130 (
In the example shown in
Thus, oxide 130 in the array area and oxide 130 in the high voltage peripheral area 512H is formed simultaneously in these two oxidation steps. All of oxide 130 in area 512L and part of the oxide 130 in the array area and area 512H are formed simultaneously in the second oxidation step.
As shown in
Polysilicon 140 covers the regions 120 i (
Layer 140 can also be formed by non-conformal deposition processes, whether known or to be invented. If the top surface of polysilicon 140 is not planar, it is believed that the polysilicon 140 can be planarized using known techniques (e.g. CMP, or spinning a photoresist layer over the polysilicon 140 and then simultaneously etching the resist and the polysilicon at equal etch rates until all of the photoresist is removed). The bottom surface of polysilicon 140 is non-planar as it goes up and down over the oxide protrusions 220P.
An exemplary final thickness of polysilicon 140 is 0.16 μm over the active areas.
The peripheral area is masked, and polysilicon 140 is doped P+ in the array area. Polysilicon 140 remains undoped ("INTR", i.e. intrinsic) in the periphery. The peripheral transistor gates will be doped later, with the NMOS gates doped N+ and the PMOS gates P+, to fabricate surface channel transistors in the periphery with appropriate threshold voltages. The invention is not limited to the surface channel transistors or any peripheral processing. In particular, entire polysilicon 140 can be doped N+ or P+ after the deposition or in situ.
Silicon dioxide 810 is deposited on polysilicon 140, by CVD (TEOS) or some other process, to an exemplary thickness of 1500 Å. Layer 810 can also be silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride (SiON), or some other material. Layer 810 is sufficiently thick to withstand subsequent oxide etches (and in particular the etch of STI oxide 220 described below in connection with
In some embodiments, the top surface of polysilicon 140 and/or oxide 810 is not planar.
The wafer is coated with a photoresist layer 820. See
Silicon dioxide 810 is etched through the resist openings. The resist is removed, and polysilicon 140 is etched away where exposed by oxide 810. Then the exposed oxide 130 is removed. (In an alternative embodiment, the resist 820 is removed after the etch of polysilicon 140 and/or oxide 130.) The select gate lines are formed as a result. Each select gate 140 will control the conductivity of the underlying portion of the cell's channel region in substrate 120.
The etch of polysilicon 140 can be a perfectly anisotropic vertical etch. Alternatively, the etch can have a horizontal component to reduce the width Ls (
In another embodiment, one or more etching steps are performed as described above to form the lines 140. Then the sidewalls of lines 140 are oxidized. Substrate 120 is also oxidized in this step. The select gate line width Ls is reduced as a result. Then the oxide is removed.
The width Ls can also be reduced by a horizontal etch of layer 810. E.g., if layer 810 is SiON, a dry etch having a horizontal component can be used to pattern this layer.
In another embodiment, the sidewalls of the select gate lines are reacted with some material other than oxygen, with a reaction product forming on the sidewalls. The reaction product is then removed.
The lines 140 can thus be more narrow than the minimal photolithographic line width. The memory packing density is therefore increased.
As shown in
If desired, an additional Vt adjust implant can be performed into the array to adjust the threshold voltage of the floating gate transistors (FG/CG transistors). This implant can be performed either before or after the formation of oxide 150. In one embodiment, the implant is performed after the etch of polysilicon 140 to define the select gates (
Floating gate polysilicon 160 (
If the top surface of polysilicon 160 is not planar, it is planarized by CMP or a suitable etch.
After planarization (if needed), layer 160 is etched down without a mask. The etch end point is when STI oxide 220 becomes exposed.
Optionally, a timed etch of oxide 220 is performed to recess the top surface of oxide 220 below the surface of polysilicon 160. See
As mentioned above, layer 810 is sufficiently thick to withstand this etch.
ONO layer 164 (
The top surface of polysilicon 170 is not planar in the array area. Layer 170 has protrusions 170.1 over the select gate lines 140. Cavities 170C form in layer 170 between protrusions 170.1 over the future positions of bitline regions 174 (
As shown in
Polysilicon 170 is etched without a mask. See
In some embodiments, the minimum thickness of polysilicon 170 (near the gaps 170G) is 0.18 μm, and the width W1 is also 0.18 μm.
In the embodiment of
A protective layer 1910 (
Nitride 1710 is removed (by a wet etch for example) selectively to oxide 1910. The resulting structure is shown in
Polysilicon 170, ONO 164, and polysilicon 160 are etched with oxide 1910 as a mask. The resulting structure is shown in
In each FG/CG stack, the floating gate 160 together with control gate 170 control the underlying portion of the cell's channel region.
A photoresist layer (not shown) is formed over the wafer and patterned to cover the array but expose the entire periphery. Then oxide 810 (
The resist covering the array is removed, and another photoresist layer (not shown) is formed to cover the array and define the peripheral transistor gates. Polysilicon 140 is etched away where exposed by this resist.
The resist is removed. The wafer is coated with a photoresist layer 2720 (FIG. 27B, periphery). The resist is patterned to expose the entire array area (
In some embodiments, the memory array is not exposed by resist 2720, and no doping is performed in the bitline regions at this step.
Resist 2720 is removed, and another photoresist layer 2820 (
Resist 2820 is removed. A thin silicon dioxide layer 2904 (see
A silicon nitride layer 2910 is deposited to an exemplary thickness of 500 Å to 800 Å. Layer 2910 is etched anisotropically without a mask to form sidewall spacers over the gate structures. The etch of nitride 2910 may remove some of oxide 810 in the array area (
Then N+ and P+ implants are performed to create source/drain structures for the peripheral transistors and the bitline regions 174. More particularly, the peripheral PMOS transistor area 512P is masked with resist (not shown), and an N+ implant is performed to create the source/drain structures for bitline regions 174 and the peripheral NMOS transistors and increase the dopant concentration in the peripheral NMOS gates 140. The floating, control and select gates and the overlying layers mask this implant so no additional masking in the array area is needed.
The resist is removed. The array and the peripheral NMOS transistor regions 512N are masked with a resist (not shown), and a P+ implant is performed to create the source/drain structures for the peripheral PMOS transistors and increase the dopant concentration in the PMOS transistor gates 140.
The resist is removed. A silicon dioxide etch is performed to remove the oxide 1910 and expose the control gate lines 170 (
A conductive metal silicide layer 2920 is formed by a self-aligned silicidation (salicide) process on the exposed silicon surfaces of control gate lines 170, bitline regions 174, peripheral transistor gates 140 and peripheral source/drain regions 2730N, 2730P. The salicide process involves depositing a metal layer, heating the structure to react the metal with the silicon, and removing the unreacted metal. This can be followed by an anneal or any other suitable processing, known or to be invented, to improve the silicide properties (e.g. increase its conductivity). Titanium, cobalt, nickel, and other conductive materials, known or to be invented, can be used for the metal layer. Non-salicide selective deposition techniques, known or to be invented, that selectively form a conductive layer 2920 on the exposed silicon but not on a non-silicon surface, can also be used. Silicide 2920 has a lower resistivity and a lower sheet resistance than polysilicon 170.
As noted above in connection with
As shown in
In the embodiment of
In each bit of the memory cell, ONO layer 164 forms a continuous feature overlying the respective floating gate and overlaying a sidewall of select gate line 140. This feature extends the whole length of the select gate line 140 (in the Y direction). Control gate 170 overlies the continuous feature of ONO 164. The portion of ONO 164 overlaying the sidewall of select gate line 140 separates the control gate 170 from the select gate 140.

In some embodiments, the memory cells are read, programmed and erased using the same voltages and mechanisms as the cell of
The erase operation is through the channel region in substrate 120 (bulk erase). In other embodiments, the memory is erased through a source/drain region 174. The programming can be performed by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. In some embodiments, the programming is performed by an electron transfer between floating gate 160 and select gate 140.
The invention is not limited to any particular read, erase or programming techniques, or to particular voltages. For example, the memory can be powered by multiple power supply voltages. Floating gates 160 can be defined using a masked etch, and can extend over sidewalls of select gate lines 140. See U.S. patent application Ser.

ALBANY -- Brad Keselowski gingerly walked up a flight of stairs Thursday during a tour of the MillerCoors Brewery in Albany, reluctantly putting weight on his left ankle.
It was Keselowski's first appearance in Georgia since Aug. 3 when he slammed his No. 2 Miller Dodge into a retaining wall at Road Atlanta at nearly 100 mph during a test run.
Since stepping out of his crumbled car with a broken ankle and a bruised back, Keselowski has turned into the hottest driver in the Sprint Cup Series, winning two of the last four races, while placing second and third in the other two.
The first of those victories improbably came four days after breaking that ankle at Pocono, so it would have been hard to see all the success coming after a wreck he called the worst of his career during an exclusive interview with The Albany Herald on Thursday.
"I thought, 'Oh (shoot), this is going to hurt," Keselowski said about what was going through his head as his brakes went out and he was speeding toward the wall. "I realized right away there was nothing I could do about it. I knew I was in a lot of pain. I just didn't know what was permanent and what was temporary."
Keselowski signs autographs, takes pictures with fans, MillerCoors employees
ALBANY -- Sprint Cup driver Brad Keselowski spent more than an hour signing autographs and meeting fans and MillerCoors employees at Albany's MillerCoors Brewery on Thursday.
He told The Albany Herald it was a great way to give back to both his sponsor and his fans.
"We enjoy the relationship we have with Miller Lite," Keselowski said. "Without Miller Lite, what we do on the race track wouldn't be possible. NASCAR relies on sponsors, and Miller Lite is a great partner of ours at Penske racing."
The No. 2 Miller Lite show car and Keselowski's merchandise trailer were both at the Brewery for fans to enjoy.
"We have a lot of fun giving back to that sponsorship," said Keselowski just before he took a tour of the brewery. "Being here in Albany today is a great way of saying thanks to the people who make it all possible by making the beer and getting it all done. It's a lot of fun."
The pain turned out to be temporary, but his success since that wreck has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Since then, Keselowski has crept up into the 11th spot for the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship and is within striking distance of 10th-place Tony Stewart heading into Sunday's AdvoCare 500 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Keselowski hasn't had too much success in Atlanta -- placing 25th and 36th in his two races on the track last year -- but he still feels a connection to the raceway just outside of Hampton.
"Atlanta is a track that I look back at very fondly," Keselowski said. "It's a track that helped me get my big break to drive for Dale Earnhardt Jr."
During the spring of 2007, Keselowski was in Atlanta competing in a Busch Series race and caught the eye of Earnhardt.
"Dale was up in one of the suites watching the race, and I had a really strong run," Keselowski recalled Thursday. "He was up there watching, and he had a lot of good things to say about me the next time we saw each other. I think that was the moment that impressed him and when he thought I deserved an opportunity."
Earnhardt gave Keselowski the opportunity to drive the No. 88 United States Navy Chevrolet for the rest of the season on the then-named Busch Series, and Keselowski, 23 at the time, ended the year with five Top 10 finishes.
He became one of the best drivers on the Busch Series -- later renamed the Nationwide Series -- during the next several years and occasionally had a good showing in a Sprint Cup race.
Now he is one of the most feared and respected drivers in all of NASCAR.
"I don't know what more to say about Brad and the (Penske Racing) team," Jeff Gordon told The Associated Press after Keselowski's most recent win Aug. 27 at Bristol Motor Speedway. "They're strong, and you put them in position at the end of the race, they're going to pull off the wins. They're, to me, as strong of a team out there right now."
Keselowski has a lot of confidence in himself and his crew right now as he prepares to extend his streak of Top 3 finishes to five.
"We are in an upswing as a team and have a lot of positive momentum," he said. "It's been a great streak. The cars are fast, and we have been executing as a team. Speed is the foundation of the sport as far as being successful. We have speed and we are executing, whether it's on pit road or behind the wheel or pit calls."
Confidence is something Keselowski has always had, however. Even after breaking his ankle, he was certain he had what it took to win at Pocono later that week -- despite being a huge underdog to do so.
"If you don't think you can win before you go to the race track, you shouldn't go," Keselowski said. "We had a good weekend at Pocono and a good car. We were able to capitalize on it when it counted."
His hot streak brought him all the way into one of the two wild-card spots for the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship, which are awarded -- in NASCAR's newly revamped format -- to the two drivers outside of the Top 10 with the most victories. Keselowski's three victories have him comfortably in the top wild-card spot, but he said Thursday that sneaking into the Top 10 is the true goal.
After all, the Top 10 drivers -- not the two wild-card recipients -- receive bonus points for each victory that goes toward Chase seeding.
Keselowski is 21 points behind Stewart and needs to finish an average of 10 spots better than him in the final two races to slide into the Top 10.
"(Stewart) is going to have to struggle," Keselowski said of what it will take to get into the Top 10. "I think he would probably tell you that the last few weeks haven't been a bed of roses. But he is also coming up on his best race tracks, so we will see."
Even if Keselowski doesn't earn a spot in the Top 10, he has earned the respect of his fellow NASCAR drivers, something 18-year Cup veteran Jeff Burton said Keselowski was "worried about" earlier in his career.
"Brad came in a little too worried about all that, concerned that he wasn't going to be getting (respect), and I think that bothered him," Burton told The Associated Press in an article detailing Keselowski's sudden rise. "Some people come in and don't even worry about it. You know at some point you're going to have to have everybody's respect, but you can't lose sleep over it.
"You've got to go and be who you are. You've got to race the way you know to race. You've got to be true to who you are, and you have to understand that there's consequences to that, good and bad."
On Thursday, Keselowski, who has been given the nickname "Big Bad Brad," said he realized that respect has arrived.
"Success breeds respect, so as we have been more successful, respect will come," he said. "All you can do is try your best to be fast and execute. That will give you success, and respect will come with it."
And as for that nickname that has seemed to fit him quite well in the past month?
"I don't particularly care for it. It's not creative, and I don't really care for nicknames," he said about being called "Big Bad Brad." "I'm fine just going by Brad Keselowski."

Joey Porter is a mindless thug seeking attention, I hear he swings both ways...what does that make him?
Originally written on Sportress of Blogitude | Last updated 3/20/12
Finally, a person has come along and perfectly explained Tebowmania by aptly comparing it to another uncontrollable, yet perplexing craze: Bieber Fever. Veteran NFL linebacker Joe Porter, who is almost as well known for his strong opinions off the field as he is for his strong play on it, did not mince words in the [...]
17 Comments:
A very satisfied person, I imagine....
Hmmm....Tebow is not the best quarterback, but is young and still has value as someone folks admire and thus he can generate ticket sales.
Joey Porter is not the best linebacker, old and pretty much washed up, but because nobody likes him and he is such a loudmouth violent ******* he has no ticket sale value.
Go figure. lol
Who is Joey Porter ? IS HE that dude who shot himself n the A** few Yrs back ?
Joey Porter is a little bitch...when he got shot here in Denver, he went to the Childrens Hospital and created a scene before they had him removed to a big people hospital. Reports say he screams like a little girl!
Joey Porter? Who's that?
Porter, what joke, if he was only 1/2 of the football player that Teabow is. Porter just can't handle not getting the attention, he needs to go out and prove it on the field as Teabow has, then he can run his slobbering mouth.
If Tebow was black, Porter would not have a problem with him. He's nothing but a racist thug with a big mouth.
if tebow was black he also wouldn't be getting this kind of attention. you know being a running QB and all
Everyone knows Porters done. He's trying to get rehired or a Jornalisim job.
Tebow has skills quit the media crap and let him do what he is made to do. Back him up. He can throw and he can run. Let him show you and in the process maybe you can win.
who is Joey porter?
Joey Boy we invite you to come to Taylor county Fla. and talk smack about Tebow. We will teach you some manners son
Tebow is being exploited. he's not an nfl QB and from what i've seen i don't think he'll ever be. i agree with porter tebow is really not a good QB on this level and believe he was brought in to sell tickets. now maybe have him coming out of the backfield he may perform well or in the wildcat, other than that your wasting alot of time trying to make him something he isn't.

When young athletes daydream, they imagine becoming a pro, an all-star, a Hall of Famer. They do not dream of being a water boy or a ball girl. But, as an intermediate step, those aren't bad. Roger Federer was a ball boy. So was Kramer, from "Seinfeld," until he ran into Monica Seles and got fired. At the U.S. Open, where Kramer worked, the job pays an hourly wage, plus a free outfit, unlimited Gatorade, and the chance to hold Federer's sweaty towel.

Practical, portable and affordable, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 is a great option for casual, everyday use.
Here's a collection of the tablets rated highest by CNET editors. Visit our tablet page for all the latest news, and be sure to see our list of the Best Android tablets, highlighting only Android OS devices.
At only 6.1mm thick, the Xperia Z4 Tablet is the slimmest tablet Sony has made, but still packs a 2K screen and octa-core chip inside its waterproof frame.
Pricing not available
The Yoga Tablet 2's unique design can't overshadow its tragically stripped-down UI and irregular performance issues.
Even if you don't take advantage of its gaming prowess, the Nvidia Shield Tablet is one of the most versatile -- and affordable -- high-performance 8-inch Android slates you can buy.
The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's wealth of power, its skinny, waterproof body and decent screen make it a good option to consider if you're after a portable tablet. Although its screen resolution doesn't put it over its competitors, its ability to play games from your PS4 -- although not perfect yet -- gives it a unique selling point.
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
Though it feels well-built and has a handy kickstand, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet's poor performance makes it hard to justify even at its low cost.
Though it feels well-built and has a handy kickstand, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet's poor performance makes it hard to justify even the low cost.
Polarr opted not to build an app specifically for Apple's iOS software, instead going the less-traveled route of using more-universal Web technologies. That decision is now paying off with droves of downloads.
Though awash in features, the Xperia Tablet Z's $500 price is a decidedly bitter pill to swallow when a better, cheaper alternative exists for $100 less.

Galsworthy's Mob Launches Orange Tree's Autumn
Editorial Staff • West End • 27 Aug 2003
Best known as the author of The Forsyte Saga, John Galsworthy was also a dramatist, a contemporary of George Bernard Shaw and Granville Barker who helped to shape the new theatrical movements of the early 20th century. In his 1913 play, The Mob, the country is on the brink of war when one young politician puts his career on the line by opposing invasion. The Orange Tree revival stars Kevin Doyle and is directed by artistic director Sam Walters and designed by Lorna Marshall. It runs from 5 September to 4 October 2003 (previews from 3 September).
It's followed from 10 October to 8 November 2003 (previews from 8 October) by Simplicity, in which a young bride-to-be awaiting the arrival of her groom in an arranged marriage switches places with her maid to gain a more truthful impression of her future spouse. Simplicity is a version of Pierre Marivaux's 1730 French classic Le jeu de l'amour et du hazard (The Game of Love and Chance). Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) was the first to translate the play, although her version wasn't produced in this country until 1988. This new production is directed by Auriol Smith and designed by Sam Dowson.
The season's third production will be a new play set in 1657 when Parliament offered religious fundamentalist Oliver Cromwell the crown. King Cromwell (pictured), which runs from 14 November to 13 December 2003 (previews 12 November), is written by the Olivier award-winning actor Oliver Ford Davies, who's currently starring opposite Joan Plowright in Franco Zeffirelli's West End production of Absolutely! {perhaps}. The Orange Tree production is directed by Sam Walters and designed by Sam Dowson.
The year concludes with a revival of the musical Me, Myself and I, with book and lyrics by Alan Ayckbourn and music by Paul Todd. In it, mother of four Mary Yately fantasises that the local paper has named her Mother of the Year. The piece was first written as three lunchtime plays for Ayckbourn's Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough and received its full-length premiere at the Orange Tree in 1983. This new version has been streamlined into two acts and is directed by Kim Grant. It runs from 19 December 2003 to 7 February 2004 (previews from 17 December).

Thanks to recent upgrades made possible by the Boston Celtics Foundation, professional-grade music equipment aids aspiring artists in their musical endeavors. Elsewhere at the Lynn Y, the usual amenities abound, including a six-lane, 25-yard lap swimming pool, an indoor track, a basketball gym, and two racquetball courts.

Get In Shape For Women ActonRead MoreTo help women achieve their fitness goals, the certified personal trainers at Get In Shape For Women focus on four areas: weight training, cardio training, nutrition, and accountability. In small group sessions, trainers modify exercises to suit up to four ladies' fitness levels, beginning by calibrating strength-training sessions—such as free weights, lunges, and squats—to each client's abilities while still ensuring they are challenging themselves. Then comes high-intensity cardio interval-training sessions in which trainers encourage exercisers to achieve optimal results on the treadmill or elliptical. The trainers supplement the group workouts with nutritional planning centered around the concept of eating six small, balanced meals six days a week. They set aside the seventh day as a "free day" for a bit of indulgence, be it eating a favorite sweet or lusting openly after bacon. To hold their women accountable, trainers talk nutrition on the floor during scheduled appointments, and the ladies' progress toward reaching their goals is measured by trainers each week.281 Essex St.Salem, MA US
Yoga SaktiRead MoreDespite many obvious differences, new yogis and fighter pilots share a common fear: turning upside-down for the first time. At Yoga Sakti, however, instructors have installed a yoga wall that acts as a fail-safe for students who want to practice their inversions. A system of straps and props support pupils as they attempt advanced postures or strive to overcome physical difficulties, such as back problems. An aid for beginners and experts alike, the wall also acts as a symbol of the large studio's welcoming, encouraging atmosphere. When they aren't manning the wall, yoga instructors lead classes in a wide variety of styles, from heated Vinyasa sequences to mellow gentle-stretch sessions or even mellower Nap in Your Parked Car seminars. Variety is a major theme running through the gym's curriculum: TRX routines bookend spin classes and ballet-barre workouts or combine with kettlebell swings to form one of several combo classes. For a more meditative visit, guests can explore the onsite wellness center, where massage, acupuncture, and hypnosis therapy aim to calm the mind.29 Bridge StreetSalem, MA US
B and S Fitness ProgramsRead MoreB&S Fitness Program is composed of four different fitness-related branches, all of which are overseen by cofounders Brandi and Steven Dion. At North Shore Boot Camp Company, Brandi and Steven, along with their staff, lead indoor and outdoor boot-camp classes at locations across Massachusetts. On the track, they coordinate marathons and triathlons throughout the year for B&S Event Management, and hit the races themselves as part of a running team called SpiderOne Racing. Since every team needs a home base, the duo also operates B&S Sport Science, a 10,700-square-foot facility devoted to research- and technology-based services such as ACL rehab and personal training.15 Maple StreetSalem, MA US

Cyrano Restaurant: One to Miss!
Outside seating in the warmer months and indoors has upstairs and downstairs with a special area for non smoking which they refused to let us in. As we did not want to sit in the smoke filled room (Many people smoke in Romania) we chose a bigger table. I could not believe how rude the staff were insisting we sat elsewhere and when asked why we could not sit in the non smoking section we were looked at like idiots lol...
Our group of 4 decided to get up and leave. Very smokey, poor attitudes from the staff and when I complained to one of them she could not give a toss...be warned its expensive nothing special and now very very poorly run. Management must not train anyone?
Favorite Dish: There is nothing good to say about the place any more. It used to have good food and various choice and friendly staff now its not worth the extra costs that they charge.
Many other good quality places to choose from up the road from here is the Taverna a great place.
Taverna: A fine example of Hungarian and Romanian food
As you enter the establishment you feel a little strange by going the steps. Watch your head! But as you then see the bar in front of you and go to your seating area (smoking and non smoking) the atmosphere is very unique. The staff speak English fairly well and welcome you and really do a good job. Music, style and creativity of the place really speak volumes its a must for a meal if your in Oradea.
At the time I was there the beer was buy one get one free!
Favorite Dish: There is a wide selection to choose from and they have English menu's. They can help you with your choice especially if your wanting to try Romanian or Hungarian dishes but they have all types of food for everyone's choice.
I really enjoyed the Veal.
Trust me...this is something different: Try a Romanian Gyro!
I was shocked when I saw a sign for Gyors in Oradea, Romania. It is a little walk in store front where you order and eat standing up at a tall table or shelf. They come in beef or chicken ( beef is the best :-)) and they are served with veggies, katchup, mustard, mayo and french fries on the inside!!! This was a great mid day or late night treat before hitting the bars. It is cheap, filling and very good....I crave these and can not wait to go back for more.
Favorite Dish: Beef Gyro with a coke!
Piccolo: Great Food and atmosphere!
This is a great little find in a basement located across the street of the Continental Hotel. Great menu and selection for any taste. Nice selection of beer and wine with a bar attached. I loved everything that I have had there during my several trips. One of our favorite places to entertain. Prices are very good for the amount of food that you get. Beware!!! Try to get away from smokers as this is a pretty small place. The decor is simple but yet inviting with wooden benches and stone work on the walls. Mixture of Hungarian, Romanian dishes.
Favorite Dish: I loved any of the chicken or pork dishes. It is best to have people try different things so that you can sample.

Great little coffee stop
When in Oradea there is a great little coffee shop/bakery on the main strip 2 blocks down on the left going away from the theatre. Sure there are more updated coffee houses with new machines and trendy atmosphers. But if you owant a feeling of history and a great cup of espresso....hit this spot. They also have the best creamesh in town and Americans will think of it as a Nepolian. This is great because it is creamy with a hint of lemon in it. The best I have had . I stopped in daily during my visit.
Favorite Dish: Creamesh ( custard filling with filo like top and bottom) YUMMY!!!!!!
Don't know the name but..: Best sandwiches in town
The place is almost next to the Lord's in the Vulture passage. Hard to miss later in the evening because there is always a huge amount of people queing. An dyou always see people with those sandwiches. And it keeps open till the three major bars/clubs (Lord's, Red and Downtown) have closed. Which can be anything between 3 and late. So if you're hungry at an untimely hour it is worth checking it out.
Also of course during the day you can go here for a sandwich. The only dissadvantage is that you can't sit here. But when teh weather is good,. you can always it it on a bench at piata unirii. t
Favorite Dish: Love the veggie sandwich
Faustos: Nice sandwich place
Faustos has good sandwiches. Even though it was a bit difficult the first time to make a choice My romanian wasn't good enough to read the menu.. so i just pointed at something that looked vaguely familair in name. Luckily the second time there was someone who spoke a bit of english.. This was last year. The menu has been updated and there is a whole lot more on it now. It isn't my favorite place except in summer when you can sit on the terrace and watch everybody going by. Especially since inside one can usually see (older) men eyeing the women. It is a sort of ' dating' place for this. So just go when it is either almost empty or when the terrace is out.
And it also has this nice terras from which you have a view of calea republicii and the piata regele ferdinand
pi-k-so: kids under 18 stay home, French grannies 2
Daca vreti ca pruncul vostru sa nu se trezeasca cu mucii improscati pe pereti, atunci faceti bine si asigurati-va ca inainte de ora 8 seara face nani. Altfel oricum n-are ce cauta un minor intr-un bar. Picasso este un restaurant cu servire foarte lenta, gama restrinsa de bere si clienti regulati sariti de pe fix.
Favorite Dish: berea ciuc varsata pe masa
Daca ti-e tare foame de o pizza sau orice alta mincare gatita, atunci un drum la Capitoliu este mai mult decit recomandat. Mare atentie, totusi, in timp ce iti savurezi mincarea sa nu iti aterizeze de undeva de sus o pisica neagra tare lacoma, dar tare simpatica.
Favorite Dish: bere ciuc in combinatie cu pizza este incomparabil de buna mmmmm
Taverna: Great place to eat
This is at the moment my favorite place to eat. It has a mixed romanian/hungarian menu. The food is very good and very affordable. Waitresses walk around in local outfits. Not necessary something for me but at least they're very easy to recognise. It is a place that is frequented a lot by locals too and it can get busy fast. So either make sure that you're here in time or wait till there is a table free.
Favorite Dish: Actually i haven't had anything here that i didn't like.
Joy club: My kind of place -chocolate
This is the place to have a hot choco. Actually it might be a bit difficult to choose. They have a complete hot chocolate menu. So you can imagine that every once in a while we have to go here and taste a new kind of hot chocolate..
Unicum: A bit disappointing
I had heard about this place. So one day we went to check it out. The Interior looks nice. The food was ok but nothing too special and it was at least twice as expensive as the Taverna for example. So i won't return here.
On the center there are...
On the center there are many elegant restaurants , old fashion Vienesse stile , but I will sugest rather some of the new small restaurants ...ask the locals about them .
Favorite Dish: Romanian and Hungarian plates ...

I had secretly fantasized about getting charged up. I'm a bareback bottom , love to get ****ed, and having a guy breed my hole. The idea of having a hot guy **** me and blow his dirty seed in all in my ass had inspired many spank marathons. I'm sure that I have taken a poz load before not knowing the status of whoever was ****ing me or really even caring for that matter. I had never knowingly let a guy that was poz **** me. One night I was cruising all the slut sites looking for other bareback guys to play with when this really hot guy messaged me. He said that he had read in my profile that I liked to go bare and that I was a btm. He told me that he was looking 4 a hole to use 4 the evening. That got my attention I had never been submissive and must admit it had been another fantasy of mine to completely give up control. He asked me if I was into pnp and I told him that I do party sometimes. We chatted 4 a little while with the standard Q&A, u know how big, what position, where to cum. Then I asked poz/neg? He responded with poz. I told him that I was neg. To which he responded "u want to get a charged load n u tonight?" I was shocked and very turned on, I asked him if he ****ed neg guys bareback. He told me he did all the time and that he even hosted several conversion party's. I wasn't familiar with the term, he explained that a conversion party's was were a group of poz tops get together and breed a neg guy. The soul reason 4 this was to spread dirty seed, and infect the neg btm. Before I could answer he asked me if I liked to pnp. I told him that I did, but I didn't have any party supplies. He said that if I wanted I could come over to his place and get ass ****ed and get high. He asked me if I had ever slammed, I told him that I had been slammed before but I was terrified of needles. "I'm very good at slamming others" he returned. Should I go? The thought of getting slammed and pounded was so tempting but was I ready to take that step towards becoming poz? "I might ass well" I responded. He gave me directions and I was on my way. When I got to his house we sat and talked 4 a while. He told me that he was going to enjoy planting his dirty seed in me, then asked me if I liked groups. I told him yes and he said good that he would get us slammed then have a few of his top buddies stop by and load my ass. He told me that I was going be a cum dump 4 him and his friends. I asked him if the guys were poz or neg he told me that they were poz. This made my dick begin to grow. He got the slamm ready and did me first. When he released the belt on my arm I could feel the rush hit me instantly. Then came the cough. I could feel that it was a very strong slamm. He did himself and sat down on the bed next to me. I started sucking his dick while I was taking off my clothes. He stood up bent me over the side of the bed, lubed my hole up with some elbow grease that was laying on the bed, and shoved his dick all the way in. Normally this would have brought tears to my eyes and a fist to his face, but it didn't even really hurt, I guess I was so high that I couldn't feel it. It wasn't long before he started to pound really hard and said he was about to cum. He stopped and pulled out and made me tell him that I wanted hid seed. Which I told him. He managed to get his dick back inside me, and with a few hard thrust he unloaded in my hole. He walked out of the room and told me to stay put. When he returned he had a collar and some restraints, which he fastened on my wrist, ankles, and neck. Then I followed him into another room, it was a play room, with a sling, TV playing porn, **** bench, some toys and lube and a computer set up with a web cam. He helped me into the sling and hooked the restraints to the chain supports. Then started to cruise the sex sites 4 tops to come and try out my hole. In no time 15 or 20 mins. there was 3 guys in line to blow their load in tight hole, and 5 more on the way. I realized that I had just came to this guys house let him drop a charged load n me and now was going to be a cum dump 4 who ever he wants and I hadn't even gotten his name. He walked over to the sling and let me know that the web cam was on and I was going to be used all weekend. There must have been 10 or more guys that had charged my ass with dirty seed before the slamm started to fade away. He could tell that I was beginning to come down and he mixed up a booty bump and told me to get on the floor face down with my ass in the air, as he unlocked the restraints. Once I was on the floor he inserted the booty bump and told me to squeeze my ass tight so that the booty bump and all the spunk wouldn't drip out. As I started to feel my stomach cramp up from the booty bump he dressed me and told me that we were going to the baths and that I was going to take all loads. He rented one of the sling rooms and told me to get into the sling as he mixed up another booty bump. I secured the restraints myself , all but one arm. He came over secured the last arm and started to insert another booty bump. I told him that I was ok 4 now. To this he responded by placing a ball gag n my mouth and continued with my booty bump. It had only been about 20 mins since the last one. Now I was so high that I couldn't focus my see straight. He began to **** me again, telling my how sloppy my hole was and that when he had ****ed me the first time that he had ripped me. He said that he knew because when he pulled out there was blood all over his dick. He said that was a good thing, it would make it easier to ensure that my neg status was gone for good. Then he told me that he had used the point 4 my slam and that when he slammed me there was still a good bit of his poison blood in it, and now it was running thru my veins. He must have been ****ing me 4 at least an hour, not that I was complaining. My ass was so hungry from the booty bumps that the only thing I could think about was getting more dick. He shot another death load in me then opened the door and walked away. It was a few mins before the first guy walked in and began to get his dick hard so that he could **** me. He was a much older man probably 55 or 60 but he had a huge cock. He came after about 5 mins of ****ing wiped his dick off and left. I didn't realize that there was a group of 4 guys waiting, they took turns one after the other all loading my eager ass. A while later my friend returned, closed the door and mixed up a huge booty bump. He squeezed it into my hole and for good measure he pushed a large rock of meth up my ass with his finger. He massaged it until it was completely dissolved. Then he removed the ball gag and asked me how I was doing. I was so high I couldn't hardly answer but I managed to say that I was feeling a little dizzy and hot. He gave me a bottle of water and told me to drink it all as he unlocked the restraints. I drank the water and instantly began to feel better. He said that he had to leave to do something but that he would be back. Then he told me that he had left a message on the all the dry erase boards saying there was a "eager ass in the sling room taking all loads POZ IS A PLUS" as he left. I knew that I should probably get up and leave but the meth was starting to take effect. So I waited. It wasn't long before a line began to form, I eagerly took every load that was offered. I'm not sure how long I was there in the sling room or how many guys filled my hole with their juice. When I finally started to come down from the meth climbed out of the sling, put on my clothes, and left the bath house. I felt so trashy when I walked into the day light, like everyone knew what I had just done. Not to mention that there was a wet place on the ass of my jeans where some of the spunk had slipped out of my now opened hole. It has been a few months since that happened so I'm not sure what my status is but I did feel like I had the flu about 2 or 3 weeks after it happened.

Waste management in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is the ninth most populous country and twelfth most densely populated countries in the world . In particular, the projected urban population growth rate from 2010 - 2015 is 3%.[1] With this population growth, there is an increasing problem of waste management particularly in the larger cities. Currently, according to an UNFPA report, Dhaka is one of the most polluted cities in the world and one of the issues concerned is the management of municipal waste.[2]
Trend of urban waste creation in Bangladesh[edit]
Current (2012) waste generation in Bangladesh is around 22.4 million tonnes per year or 150 kg/cap/year. [3]
There is an increasing rate of waste generation in Bangladesh and it is projected to reach 47, 064 tonnes per day by 2025. The Waste Generation Rate (kg/cap/day) is expected to increase to 0.6 in 2025. A significant percentage of the population has zero access to proper waste disposal services, which will in effect lead to the problem of waste mismanagement.[4]
The total waste collection rate in major cities of Bangladesh such as Dhaka is only 37%. When waste is not properly collected, it will be illegally disposed of and this will pose serious environmental and health hazards to the Bangladeshis.[5]
Waste mismanagement in Bangladesh[edit]
Bangladesh has minimal waste collection coverage which forces majority of the waste to be dumped in open lands. These waste are not disposed of properly, where general waste are often mixed with hazardous waste such as hospital waste.[6] In a report on solid waste management in Asia, the data showed that, in Dhaka, only about 42% of generated waste is collected and dumped at landfill sites, and the rest are left uncollected. As much as 400 tons are dumped on the roadside and in open space.[7] As such, these improperly disposed waste poses serious health implications to the people where it may have the potential of transmitting diseases.[8]
Due to the lack of funding, there are also insufficient subsidies put in place for the issue of waste management in Bangladesh. Hence, there are essentially no proper disposal facilities to cater to the rapid creation of waste.[9]
Negative impacts of poor waste management[edit]
One of the most adverse impacts of poor waste management, especially municipal waste, is the incidence and prevalence of diseases such as malaria and respiratory problems, as well as other illnesses through the contamination of ground water. Biomedical wastes pose great danger in Bangladesh too as a report estimated that 20% of the biomedical waste is "highly infectious" and is a hazard since it is often disposed of into the sewage system or drains.[10] Such poor sanitation has serious consequences for the health of the residents and a report suggests that "most of the child mortality could be related with this problem".[9] With regards to the living standards, solid waste leads to blockage in the drainage system which leads to flooding in the streets. Consequently, mosquitoes and bad odour are among the negative impacts resulted.[9]
Current government efforts[edit]
There have been recent developments in Bangladesh to improve waste management, especially in urban cities. In Dhaka, Dhaka City Corporation with support from the Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) has a master plan underway to better handle the solid waste management in Dhaka.[11] For instance, Social Business Enterprise Waste Concern, has sprung up to tackle the municipal waste accumulation problem through working with the households. UNICEF has also initiated recycling programs and waste control with the city corporations and municipalities.[11] However, currently, there are still insufficient incentives to improve the standard of waste management across all relevant sectors, especially for industrial waste and medical waste.

Thanks for the suggestion that was a big help, I wish I would have thought of that sooner. They were really in there
. Unfortunately a few still stripped out and I had to weld a bolt to the end. Even then they had a difficult time coming out and sheered one of the bolts off! No locktight, so Im guessing they were really cranked in at a previous valve adjustment.
The progress so far:
The rear cams looked fine. The cam carrier had some wear in the journals, but I think it is ok.
The rear cylinder had an obvious head gasket leak, but everything look in good shape. Plenty of hatch markings on the cylinder and the piston skirt looked good.
The rear piston rings end gap was under the .5mm wear limit, coming in about .45mm.
The piston measured 99.94mm, under the wear limit of .93
Everything looked very similar on the front.
The piston spec'd out .94, however the piston rings had much more wear, being over the .5mm (around .51). Im not sure why the front had more ring wear
In the process of pulling the fly wheel and clutch basket to change the timing chains and oil pump pressure spring.
Overall the ending is very clean inside with no signs of crud or build up.

General Comments
The Daily Record - I remember the time when there were two newspapers in York and being a new resident of the area, I was never sure which one I wanted to get. I made the statement to a co-worker at the time that I wished there was only one and I didn't have to choose. And he assured me that was not what I wanted at all.
This is not the first time this has happened, but rather this is a regular occurence. Competition is good - it helps keep us on our toes!

Moon Marble Company
600 E. Front St.
Bonner Springs Kansas 66012United States
(913) 441-1432
Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
This throwback store, where it's easy to spend hours browsing and reminiscing, offers classic toys and hundreds of choices in marbles.
Moon Marble Company's gray building isn't impressive from the outside, but inside, the sheer array of marbles impresses. Choose from Bengal Tiger and leopard-patterned marbles, iridescent or plain green marbles, faraway galaxies or the colors of Monet's water lilies. For a real treat, step into the back room where co-owner Bruce Breslow handcrafts marbles with a blowtorch. But marbles aren't the only draw. Boomers will love browsing the multicolored kites, Hula Hoops, classic Etch-A-Sketches, multicolored dice, Frontier Log play sets or Fiddlestix. The store is crammed to the gills, almost to the point that shopping is uncomfortable, so allow an hour to really see it all, especially if you're truly gift hunting. In the summer, call ahead to find out when Breslow will demonstrate marble making.

Touring Tri-Cities' Monuments War Markers Honor Veterans
Krol, Eric, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Eric Krol Daily Herald Staff Writer
As many Tri-Cities residents get ready to fire up the grill or watch the Bulls today, others will spend some time remembering relatives and friends who fought the good fight for our country.
They couldn't have a better place to do so than St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia.
No matter which war your parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents fought in, you're bound to be able to find a monument to remember them by in the Tri-Cities on Memorial Day.
Among them, the three towns have monuments for every American war dating back to the Mexican War of 1846.
All told, the Tri-Cities is home to no fewer than 11 war monuments that are open to the public, with four each in Batavia and St. Charles and three in Geneva. Each one has a story behind how it came to be.
Vietnam is marked by a monument across the street from Batavia City Hall.
The black stone monument was dedicated in 1984 after a successful effort to raise $10,000 led by Kane County Sheriff Ken Ramsey and Donna Whipple, the wife of a Vietnam veteran.
Ramsey at the time was a Batavia alderman. He served in Vietnam in 1969.
"It was around the time when there was a whole emergence of sentiment where America was reexamining the way Vietnam veterans were treated," Ramsey remembered.
The monument, which is dedicated to all Batavians who served in Vietnam, displays symbols of the fallen soldier, prisoners of war and unity of all war veterans.
Batavia lost three young men in Vietnam, and their names are engraved on a 20th century war memorial at the northwest corner of Wilson Street and Batavia Avenue.
The monument also lists the names of the eight Batavia men who died in World War I, the 28 who perished in World War II and the seven who died in the Korean War.
There's another Batavia memorial to World War II veterans at the entrance to the gym of the now-shuttered junior high school at the southeast corner of Batavia Avenue and Wilson Street. Batavia VFW members are lobbying the school district to save the plaque so it can be remounted.
People with relatives who fought or died in World War I can visit the Baker Community Center at 101 S. Second St. in St. Charles.
A giant plaque at the building's entrance lists the 177 soldiers and six nurses from St. Charles who fought in the war. The memorial was commissioned in 1925 by Edward Baker and his wife.
The conflict with the most monuments in the Tri-Cities, however, is the Civil War. …

Hi, ladies!
Now that it's getting downright hot on some days where I live, I don't know how to have LO outside. I don't want her overheating, and she is very fair-skinned and would burn if the sun was directly on her for longer than a couple min here and there. Is sunscreen not recommended for 6 month olds? Can you use it on the face? I guess a sun hat should be implemented? What about long sleeves? I feel terrible putting her in long sleeves to go outside in the heat. And how do you do stroller walks in the heat with the sun blaring down on LO? I tried pulling the stroller cover up but she doesn't like that, she wants to be uncovered. Not to mention when the cover is up, it gets like a sauna in there!
HELP please!! I want to enjoy the outdoors safely with her. TIA!

After launching the Gibbon website a few weeks ago, we are coding & designing like there's no tomorrow to get the iPad app out as soon as possible.
I finally settled on the grid I want to use for the app...a 20x20pt block grid. This is the profile page with all your learning flows you are learning.
If you want to be the first to know when we launch the app you can follow Gibbon here or me here.
