Madison's Green dispatches Judson, dinner
By Dan McCarney - Express-News : September 26, 2010
Madison running back Troy Williams picks up yards against Judson during Saturday night's victory. He had 139 yards rushing and another 73 yards receiving in the game.
Madison running back Troy Williams picks up yards against Judson during Saturday night?s victory. He had 139 yards rushing and another 73 yards receiving in the game.
Already dealing with a painful ankle sprain, Aaron Green was feeling even worse after discharging his dinner on the Comalander Stadium turf early in Saturday's matchup with Judson.
"I ate pasta before the game," Green said. "I won't do that again."
Even with a bad wheel and an upset stomach, Green was still more than the Rockets could handle, racking up 241 rushing yards and four touchdowns in a 45-28 victory.
It was a vintage offensive performance from the Mavericks, who also got 212 yards from scrimmage from Troy Williams (139 rushing, 73 receiving) and four completions of at least 30 yards from A.J. Myers.
By the time Myers found his passing touch late in the first half, the Rockets were springing leaks throughout their defense, with not nearly enough fingers to plug them.
Down 17 at the break, Judson did cut the deficit to 10 twice in the second half. Rather than threaten the Mavericks, all that did was give them an excuse to keep feeding the ball to Green.
Unlike his pre-game meal, he had no problem with that.
Coming on fourth-and-2, his first touchdown went for 50 yards. He scored three more in a span of eight carries during the second half, including another 50-yarder on a direct snap.
Green also had a non-scoring run of 58 yards, the longest of 14 Madison plays that went at least 10.
"(Offensive coordinator Glenn) Mangold and the rest of the offensive guys, really the past couple of weeks, have done a nice job coming up with stuff," Madison coach Jim Streety said.
Though it wasn't enough to keep pace with Green, Judson did get a gaudy — and highly unexpected — performance from running back Rene Rivera.
Starting in pace of the injured Quaylon Jones, he rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns (52, 51, 6). Tied for seventh on the team in rushing coming in, Rivera had totaled only 16 yards on five carries in Judson's first four games.
Still, with Madison racking up 20 first downs and 577 yards of offense, it was only a drop in the bucket.
Which Green could have used.
"I'll just eat a sandwich next time," he said.

Gallery: India's insane Suzuki factories
By the time you've read this story, this plant will have made 40 cars
Posted: 10 Apr 2013
Attention subsequently turned to the East, where some of the Japanese makers looked more suitable. Mitsubishi began as a strong contender, but at a meeting with the Indian government representatives, 40 Mitsubishi board members turned up to greet the four bods from Maruti, and promptly - and somewhat literally - scared the Indians off. Plus, Mitsubishi's annual spend was higher than the entirety of the Indian government's at the time.
But, as in all good fairy stories, there was a happy ending. Suzuki turned out to be just what the Indians were looking for - happy to invest in India, build the necessary infrastructure and take the long view. Suzuki's cars were the right size and price point, and even the company ethos was spot-on - the Japanese didn't even bother with frivolities like air-conditioning in their offices. And so began a marriage blessed with solidity of purpose and common outlook.

AD Lehman and Sons – A family of talent who built many of the homes of the Palmyra area during a good portion of the 20th Century, will be the topic of the historical presentation being made at the Tuesday, May 5, 2015, General Meeting of the Palmyra Area Heritage Association (PAHA).
The public is welcome and encouraged to attend this presentation being given by second-generation descendants of Allen David and Elizabeth Keener Lehman. There is no fee for this historical educational program.
To be held in the ShadowStone Community Center at 106 W. Spruce Street, just off of North Railroad St. in Palmyra, the presentation will start at 6:30 PM.
Moderator and Lehman family member Jeannette Thomas, will be joined by her brother and cousins Kenneth and Fred Lehman, Nancy Eckert, Marie Daniels, Carol McCurdy, Madeline DePangrazio and Eileen Heaps, to recount the history of the family business which actively built homes in the Palmyra, Cambelltown, Hershey and Harrisburg area during the mid 20th Century, a significant period of growth in the history of the Palmyra area.
The Lehman brothers and sisters…Benjamin, Harvey, Allen, Walter, Jacob, Ammon, William, Herman, Annie, Elizabeth and Mary and the families that they raised in the Palmyra area, not only had an impact in the building trade, but were accomplished musicians who shared their God-given musical talents with Palmyra area residents. They played with Harvey Brandt's Iroquois Band, which disbanded in 1947, and then became the Palmyra Legion Band, and also with many of the local school and community bands. Local community band concerts provided a significant community activity central to the lifestyle of the area throughout the1900's.

Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings with leftovers
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 4 hr (includes making pastry and cooling)
Make dough:
Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Beat together yolk and water with a fork and stir into flour mixture until combined well.
Knead mixture gently in bowl with floured hands just until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4 or 5 times more. Form dough into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk.
Chill, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour.
Make tart shell:
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round.
Slide bottom of tart pan (separate from rim) under dough and set into rim of tart pan. Cut off excess dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang, and fold overhang inward. Press dough against side of pan, pushing dough 1/4 inch above rim. Lightly prick bottom of shell all over with a fork and chill until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until side is set and edge is pale golden, 20 to 30 minutes.
Carefully remove weights and foil and bake shell until golden, 15 to 25 minutes more. Leave oven on.
Make filling and bake tart:
Put a heavy baking sheet in oven. Peel and core pears, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Toss pears with 1 tablespoon pear brandy in a bowl, then arrange, overlapping, in tart shell. Put a pie shield on tart pan or cover rim with foil and transfer to baking sheet in oven. Bake just until pears are barely tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Leave oven on.
Whisk together eggs, yolk, sugar, vanilla, crème fraîche, a pinch of salt, and remaining 1 tablespoons pear brandy until smooth. Pour over pears.
Bake until custard is just set 2 inches from edge, about 18 minutes. Remove from oven and remove pie shield.
Make topping and finish baking tart:
Stir together all topping ingredients, then gently sprinkle over custard and bake until top is pale golden, about 15 minutes more. Cool tart to warm or room temperature in pan on a rack.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Adorable! Not to mention great game play. The sophistication of the physics engine in this game is amazing for NES and in general really. Clever, well-thought out levels. Great mixing of puzzle solving with fighting action. Such a cool game.

What comes to mind when you think about fiber arts? Quilts? Weavings? Clothing? How about shoelaces, earrings and decorative boxes? If not, get ready for a show that will change the way you think about fiber arts, because these are just a few items that will be on display beginning Oct. 1 at the Fuller Lodge Art Center.
Fall Fiber & Fashion celebrates "fiber with a special emphasis on wearable art," according to the FLAC exhibit schedule. Those entering their art are encouraged to play with form and function in fiber or design, as well as create and display their fashions.
"Don't forget to accessorize — jewelry, scarves, handbags, hats — use your imagination! Looking for a creative use of all media," said the call for entries on the FLAC Web site.
"The fibers come out in the fall as people get their heavier clothes on," FLAC Communications Coordinator Nancy Coombs said.
Village Arts Co-owner Ken Nebel said he's been preparing for this show by making paper mache mannequins on which some of the artists' work will be displayed. He also said he put out a call for artists "everywhere."
"We just wait to see what shows up," Coombs said.
Nebel said they didn't know what to expect of the call for entries.

Mt. Vodno and Millennium Cross
The Millennium Cross (Macedonian: Милениумски крст, read: Mileniumski krst) is famous touristic attraction and one of the symbol of City on Vardar river. This is a big monument - 66 meter-high cross situated on the top of the Vodno Mountain. It is considerate as one of the biggest crosses in the world. It was constructed to serve as a memorial of 2000 years of Christianity on ground today Macedonia and the whole world.

Millenium Cross
Itis one of the newest symbols of Skopje and placed on the highest point on Vodno mountain. It was build in 2002. This Cross was build by Macedonian Orthodox Church in order to celebrate 2000 years of Christianity in the World and on Macedonian soil.
- Architecture
Mount Vodno and the Millennium Cross
Visible from all over Skopje, Mount Vodno towers over the city from the south. At over 1000m, it is not the highest mountain in the world, but climbing it is not a leisurely stroll in a park either...something we should have perhaps thought about before deciding to walk up there from the Carsija quarter!
It was getting on for half past three in the afternoon, and we were wondering what to do next. All the museums were closed, it being a Sunday afternoon. We'd stuffed ourselves with meatballs and and bread and ice cream and Turkish biscuits in the Carsija, and had had more than enough coffee. We'd walked around the old town several times, done the Bit Pazar, and done a fair bit of walking around modern Skopje too. So what next? Well, Mt Vodno looked appealing, and from where we sat in Makedonija Square, it didn't look too far either. "we'll be up in an hour or so", we thought.
Off we set, with no supplies...no biscuits, no water, no waterproofs, and my travelling companion had for soem reason decided that flip-flops were well suited to mountain climbing in March. Reaching the end of Salvador Allende street, we were directed up a path to the right which quickly left the city behind. The path climbed and climbed, but the summit never seemed to get any closer. Eventually we emerged on a road with a car park and a cafe...time was ticking, dark clouds amassing over Skopje below, but we pressed on, reasoning that it can't be that far away. Anyway, there were enough people around who looked like they were climbing up as well.
Several paths verged off from the road, but most of them took us around in circles, so in the end we decided to stick to the road. Light began to fade, as did our morale. Why hadn't we bought water? And where were the Tutku biscuits when we needed them? The road is not the most direct route up to the summit, and we should have perhaps taken one of the paths, but as it was getting darker and flip flops are more suited to tarmac, we stuck to the road.
The Millennium Cross on the summit popped into view occasionally, but mostly it was demoralisingly out of view. We began to notice that the only other walkers were heading down. Hmmm.... From the size of the thing, I assumed the big cross was some sort of viewing platform, and I remembered reading abotu a cafe up there too....so that was what drove us on, the thought of a cafe.
Reaching the summit just after sunset we soon found out that the cross is little more than a huge monument, and at that time, it was totally deserted. And very very windy. That was a low point, realising that we had been quite stupid! How were we going to get down?!
A lone car was parked by what seemed to be some sort of satellite installation next to teh cross. We decided to go in, on the off chance that they had water and could maybe offer us a lift down. The barbed wire around the gate didn't do much to welcome us, but we went in anyway...and good job we did! It was the cafe! We were greeted by three old men sitting around a fire, who immediately brought us fantastic tea, and introduced us to another hiker...who had arranged his father to pick him up in a car! Would we like a lift? Biiiig sigh of relief!
So...moral of the story...don't climb Mt Vodno in flip-flops, take biscuits and water, start early, and don't be put off by barbed wire and metal gates.
Millenium Cross
Millennium Cross is one of the newest symbols of Skopje. It was built in 2002. This Cross was build by Macedonian Orthodox Church in order to celebrate 2000 years of Christianity in the World and on Macedonian soil. It was constructed and placed on the highest point on Vodno mountain, a place that for centuries was known as place where Cross exists. Most of the time during Ottoman`s rule in Macedonia (14-20 century) there was a small cross on this place, so Turkish and local Macedonians called it "Krstovar" (place where there is a cross).
Visit the Millenium Cross
The Millennium Cross situated on the peak of the mountain Vodno is a new tourist attraction. The cross should be finished in July 2007. At 66 meters high, it is one of the biggest crosses in the world and can be seen from 30 km away.
Mienium cross on Vodno
Since the year of 2000 the citizens of Skopje, from every part of the city can see the Millennium Cross, that symbolizes 2000 years of Christianity. It was built on top of the Vodno mountain, located south of Skopje, at an attitude of 1,066 meters above the sea level, with it's dimensions 66 and 20 meters. It is unique building in the world. There should be built a monastery complex in it's surroundings and a restaurant with a spectacular view of the city.
Kamen most & Mileniumski krst
Kamen most is very old bridge more than 500 years ago is build.
Mileniumski krst is the biggest and only one in this region and maybe in all Europe.

Unknown gunmen continued to kill with bombs and rifles yesterday in Kaduna, Bauchi and Taraba. At least 52 people were killed, scores injured and properties running into millions of naira destroyed.
In Sanga LGA of Kaduna State, 32 people were killed by gunmen suspected to be Fulani militia in the late hours of Friday. The gunmen carried out the attack on Amber community despite the 24-hour curfew imposed on the local government area following last week's killing of about 227 people.
The local government chairman, Emmanuel Adamu, who confirmed the fresh killings to LEADERSHIP Sunday, wondered how the attack was successfully executed without the knowledge of the soldiers and the police drafted to restore normalcy.
The national president of Ninzom Progressive Youths, Mr Bezard Wuyah, whose communities were attacked, told our correspondent the attack on Amber village was carried out on Friday afternoon.
Mr Wuyah, who spoke to our correspondent from some of the affected villages on phone, said: "Right now, we have been touring some of the villages affected. Last night (Friday), Amber, a village of about 5,000 people, was ransacked. We lost 22 people, and I am told that there are more corpses in the bushes.
"In Paa, a village close to Gwantu, the town was attacked from 10 this morning (Saturday) till this afternoon. Ten people were killed. The town is also burnt down. The villages are now empty. I am now in Gwantu, with Kaduna State commissioner of water resources Mr Audu Dogo. He can testify to what I am saying."
The chairman, Sanga LGA, Mr Emmanuel Adamu, said the gunmen were carrying out what he described as "guerilla killings" on his people
Over 110 bodies were given mass burial last week Thursday after many other families took away the corpses of their loves ones for burial.
LEADERSHIP SUNDAY gathered that all Ninzom villages, including Gwantu, the LGA, headquarters of Sanga, were deserted as people ran to police stations, primary and secondary schools in nearby towns and into neighbouring states.
The executive secretary of the Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, Nuhu Dogo, who is in Sanga lamented that the tense situation in the area was making distribution of relief materials to about 50,000 displaced persons almost impossible.
Mr Dogo said: "We are now in the Gwantu police station, because they are now attacking one village called Tarri. We are with the police DPO. And he is mobilizing his people to go there.
"The problem is that when there is an attack here, and the security men go, there will be another one somewhere. There is lack of enough personnel. But there is an attack on Tarri going on now," he said.
Bomb blast in Bauchi kills 10, injures 14
A bomb blast occurred on Friday night in the Bayan Gari area of Bauchi, killing 10 people and injuring 14 others.
The explosion occurred about 10pm in the area housing brothels and its impact was felt in all parts of Bauchi town.
Both the dead and the injured were taken to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi.
Minutes after the explosion occurred, security agents cordoned off the area to prevent people from getting access to the site of the explosion.
At ATBUTH, medical personnel were seen treating the injured. When contacted for further details, the hospital's management neither declined comments on the incident nor gave details about casualties.
The police in Bauchi confirmed the incident. Haruna Mohammed, DSP, police public relations officer (PPRO), told LEADERSHIP Sunday that residents of the affected brothels had in the past been advised by the police to vacate the hotels as such areas were prime spots for terror attacks but that those residing there refused to comply with the police directive.
When LEADERSHIP Sunday further details, the police spokesman responded: "On the 27/6/2014 at about 21:50 hours, there was an explosion at People's Brothel at Bayan Gari area of Bauchi where 10 persons were confirmed dead while 14 others sustained various degrees of injuries and were rushed to ATBU Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, for treatment."
10 killed in Taraba attack - Police
The Taraba State police command yesterday in Jalingo said unknown gunmen attacked some people coming from Garba Chade to Maihula village in Gassol local government area of the state and killed 10 people.
ASP Joseph Kwaji, the police public relations officer (PPRO), Taraba police command, who confirmed the incident while speaking to LEADERSHIP Sunday on phone, that the police also recovered three empty shells and some cartridges of double-barrel gun.
Kwaji, noted that a detachment of the police and army had been drafted to the area, adding that investigation into the incident was ongoing.
Sam Mbata, a resident of Garba Chade who also confirmed the attack to our correspondent, said the unknown gunmen stormed the village about 6pm, attacked and killed 10 persons who were coming from Garba Chade to Maihula village.
The PPRO called on the general public to always report any suspected person to the nearest police station in the state.

The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/296,435 filed on Aug. 1, 2003, which is a 371 of PCT/AU02/00065 filed on Jan. 22, 2002, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
Various methods, systems and apparatus relating to the present invention are disclosed in the following co-pending applications filed by the applicant or assignee of the present invention simultaneously with the present application:
The disclosures of these co-pending applications are incorporated herein by cross-reference.
This invention relates to ink jet printheads. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of manufacture of an ink jet printhead having a moving nozzle with an externally arranged actuator.
Our co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/112,835 discloses a method of manufacture of a moving nozzle generally. Such a moving nozzle device is actuated by means of a magnetically responsive device for effecting displacement of the moving nozzle and, in so doing, to effect ink ejection.
A problem with this arrangement is that it is required that parts of the device be hydrophobically treated to inhibit the ingress of ink into the region of the actuator.
A method of manufacture of a moving nozzle-type device is proposed where the need for hydrophobic treatment is obviated.
According to the invention, there is provided a method of manufacture of an ink jet printhead, the method including the steps of:—
providing a substrate; and
creating an array of nozzle assemblies on the substrate with a nozzle chamber in communication with a nozzle opening of a nozzle of each nozzle assembly, the nozzle of each assembly being displaceable relative to the substrate for effecting ink ejection on demand and the nozzle assembly including an actuator unit connected to the nozzle and arranged externally of the chamber for controlling displacement of the nozzle.
In this specification, the term "nozzle" is to be understood as an element defining an opening and not the opening itself.
Preferably, the method includes creating said array by using planar monolithic deposition, lithographic and etching processes.
Further, the method may include forming multiple printheads simultaneously on the substrate.
The method may include forming integrated drive electronics on the same substrate. The integrated drive electronics may be formed using a CMOS fabrication process.
The method may include forming a first part of a wall defining the chamber from a part of the nozzle and a second part of the wall from an inhibiting means, which inhibits leakage of ink from the chamber, the inhibiting means extending from the substrate. More particularly, the method may include, by deposition and etching processes, forming the inhibiting means to extend from the substrate.
The method may include interconnecting the nozzle and the actuator unit by means of an arm such that the nozzle is cantilevered with respect to the actuator unit.
The actuator unit may be a thermal bend actuator and the method may include forming the actuator from at least two beams, one being an active beam and the other being a passive beam. By "active" beam is meant that a current is caused to pass through the active beam for effecting thermal expansion thereof. In contrast, the "passive" beam, has no current flow therethrough and serves to facilitate bending of the active beam, in use.
The invention is now described by way of example with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings in which:—
FIGS. 2 to 4 show a three dimensional, schematic illustration of an operation of the nozzle assembly of
Referring initially to
The assembly 10 includes a silicon substrate or wafer 16 on which a dielectric layer 18 is deposited. A CMOS passivation layer 20 is deposited on the dielectric layer 18.
Each nozzle assembly 12 includes a nozzle 22 defining a nozzle opening 24, a connecting member in the form of a lever arm 26 and an actuator 28. The lever arm 26 connects the actuator 28 to the nozzle 22.
As shown in greater detail in FIGS. 2 to 4 of the drawings, the nozzle 22 comprises a crown portion 30 with a skirt portion 32 depending from the crown portion 30. The skirt portion 32 forms part of a peripheral wall of a nozzle chamber 34 (FIGS. 2 to 4 of the drawings). The nozzle opening 24 is in fluid communication with the nozzle chamber 34. It is to be noted that the nozzle opening 24 is surrounded by a raised rim 36 which "pins" a meniscus 38 (
An ink inlet aperture 42 (shown most clearly in
A wall portion 50 bounds the aperture 42 and extends upwardly from the floor portion 46. The skirt portion 32, as indicated above, of the nozzle 22 defines a first part of a peripheral wall of the nozzle chamber 34 and the wall portion 50 defines a second part of the peripheral wall of the nozzle chamber 34.
The wall 50 has an inwardly directed lip 52 at its free end which serves as a fluidic seal which inhibits the escape of ink when the nozzle 22 is displaced, as will be described in greater detail below. It will be appreciated that, due to the viscosity of the ink 40 and the small dimensions of the spacing between the lip 52 and the skirt portion 32, the inwardly directed lip 52 and surface tension function as an effective seal for inhibiting the escape of ink from the nozzle chamber 34.
The actuator 28 is a thermal bend actuator and is connected to an anchor 54 extending upwardly from the substrate 16 or, more particularly from the CMOS passivation layer 20. The anchor 54 is mounted on conductive pads 56 which form an electrical connection with the actuator 28.
The actuator 28 comprises a first, active beam 58 arranged above a second, passive beam 60. In a preferred embodiment, both beams 58 and 60 are of, or include, a conductive ceramic material such as titanium nitride (TiN).
Both beams 58 and 60 have their first ends anchored to the anchor 54 and their opposed ends connected to the arm 26. When a current is caused to flow through the active beam 58 thermal expansion of the beam 58 results. As the passive beam 60, through which there is no current flow, does not expand at the same rate, a bending moment is created causing the arm 26 and, hence, the nozzle 22 to be displaced downwardly towards the substrate 16 as shown in
Referring now to
To facilitate close packing of the nozzle assemblies 10 in the rows 72 and 74, the nozzle assemblies 10 in the row 74 are offset or staggered with respect to the nozzle assemblies 10 in the row 72. Also, the nozzle assemblies 10 in the row 72 are spaced apart sufficiently far from each other to enable the lever arms 26 of the nozzle assemblies 10 in the row 74 to pass between adjacent nozzles 22 of the assemblies 10 in the row 72. It is to be noted that each nozzle assembly 10 is substantially dumbbell shaped so that the nozzles 22 in the row 72 nest between the nozzles 22 and the actuators 28 of adjacent nozzle assemblies 10 in the row 74.
Further, to facilitate close packing of the nozzles 22 in the rows 72 and 74, each nozzle 22 is substantially hexagonally shaped.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, when the nozzles 22 are displaced towards the substrate 16, in use, due to the nozzle opening 24 being at a slight angle with respect to the nozzle chamber 34 ink is ejected slightly off the perpendicular. It is an advantage of the arrangement shown in
Also, as shown in
Referring to
In this development, a nozzle guard 80 is mounted on the substrate 16 of the array 14. The nozzle guard 80 includes a body member 82 having a plurality of passages 84 defined therethrough. The passages 84 are in register with the nozzle openings 24 of the nozzle assemblies 10 of the array 14 such that, when ink is ejected from any one of the nozzle openings 24, the ink passes through the associated passage before striking the print media.
The body member 82 is mounted in spaced relationship relative to the nozzle assemblies 10 by limbs or struts 86. One of the struts 86 has air inlet openings 88 defined therein.
In use, when the array 14 is in operation, air is charged through the inlet openings 88 to be forced through the passages 84 together with ink travelling through the passages 84.
The ink is not entrained in the air as the air is charged through the passages 84 at a different velocity from that of the ink droplets 64. For example, the ink droplets 64 are ejected from the nozzles 22 at a velocity of approximately 3 m/s. The air is charged through the passages 84 at a velocity of approximately 1 m/s.
The purpose of the air is to maintain the passages 84 clear of foreign particles. A danger exists that these foreign particles, such as dust particles, could fall onto the nozzle assemblies 10 adversely affecting their operation. With the provision of the air inlet openings 88 in the nozzle guard 80 this problem is, to a large extent, obviated.
Referring now to FIGS. 8 to 10 of the drawings, a process for manufacturing the nozzle assemblies 10 is described.
Starting with the silicon substrate or wafer 16, the dielectric layer 18 is deposited on a surface of the wafer 16. The dielectric layer 18 is in the form of approximately 1.5 microns of CVD oxide. Resist is spun on to the layer 18 and the layer 18 is exposed to mask 100 and is subsequently developed.
After being developed, the layer 18 is plasma etched down to the silicon layer 16. The resist is then stripped and the layer 18 is cleaned. This step defines the ink inlet aperture 42.
Approximately 0.5 microns of PECVD nitride is deposited as the CMOS passivation layer 20. Resist is spun on and the layer 20 is exposed to mask 106 whereafter it is developed. After development, the nitride is plasma etched down to the aluminum layer 102 and the silicon layer 16 in the region of the inlet aperture 42. The resist is stripped and the device cleaned.
A layer 108 of a sacrificial material is spun on to the layer 20. The layer 108 is 6 microns of photo-sensitive polyimide or approximately 4 μm of high temperature resist. The layer 108 is softbaked and is then exposed to mask 110 whereafter it is developed. The layer 108 is then hardbaked at 400� C. for one hour where the layer 108 is comprised of polyimide or at greater than 300� C. where the layer 108 is high temperature resist. It is to be noted in the drawings that the pattern-dependent distortion of the polyimide layer 108 caused by shrinkage is taken into account in the design of the mask 110.
In the next step, shown in
A 0.2 micron multi-layer metal layer 116 is then deposited. Part of this layer 116 forms the passive beam 60 of the actuator 28.
The layer 116 is formed by sputtering 1,000 Å of titanium nitride (TiN) at around 300� C. followed by sputtering 50 Å of tantalum nitride (TaN). A further 1,000 Å of TiN is sputtered on followed by 50 Å of TaN and a further 1,000 Å of TiN.
Other materials which can be used instead of TiN are TiB2, MoSi2 or (Ti, Al)N.
The layer 116 is then exposed to mask 118, developed and plasma etched down to the layer 112 whereafter resist, applied for the layer 116, is wet stripped taking care not to remove the cured layers 108 or 112.
A third sacrificial layer 120 is applied by spinning on 4 μm of photo-sensitive polyimide or approximately 2.6 μm high temperature resist. The layer 120 is softbaked whereafter it is exposed to mask 122. The exposed layer is then developed followed by hard baking. In the case of polyimide, the layer 120 is hardbaked at 400� C. for approximately one hour or at greater than 300� C. where the layer 120 comprises resist.
A second multi-layer metal layer 124 is applied to the layer 120. The constituents of the layer 124 are the same as the layer 116 and are applied in the same manner. It will be appreciated that both layers 116 and 124 are electrically conductive layers.
The layer 124 is exposed to mask 126 and is then developed. The layer 124 is plasma etched down to the polyimide or resist layer 120 whereafter resist applied for the layer 124 is wet stripped taking care not to remove the cured layers 108, 112 or 120. It will be noted that the remaining part of the layer 124 defines the active beam 58 of the actuator 28.
A fourth sacrificial layer 128 is applied by spinning on 4 μm of photo-sensitive polyimide or approximately 2.6 μm of high temperature resist. The layer 128 is softbaked, exposed to the mask 130 and is then developed to leave the island portions as shown in
As shown in
A fifth sacrificial layer 134 is applied by spinning on 2 μm of photo-sensitive polyimide or approximately 1.3 μm of high temperature resist. The layer 134 is softbaked, exposed to mask 136 and developed. The remaining portion of the layer 134 is then hardbaked at 400� C. for one hour in the case of the polyimide or at greater than 300� C. for the resist.
The dielectric layer 132 is plasma etched down to the sacrificial layer 128 taking care not to remove any of the sacrificial layer 134.
This step defines the nozzle opening 24, the lever arm 26 and the anchor 54 of the nozzle assembly 10.
A high Young's modulus dielectric layer 138 is deposited. This layer 138 is formed by depositing 0.2 μm of silicon nitride or aluminum nitride at a temperature below the hardbaked temperature of the sacrificial layers 108, 112, 120 and 128.
Then, as shown in
An ultraviolet (UV) release tape 140 is applied. 4 μm of resist is spun on to a rear of the silicon wafer 16. The wafer 16 is exposed to mask 142 to back etch the wafer 16 to define the ink inlet channel 48. The resist is then stripped from the wafer 16.
A further UV release tape (not shown) is applied to a rear of the wafer 16 and the tape 140 is removed. The sacrificial layers 108, 112, 120, 128 and 134 are stripped in oxygen plasma to provide the final nozzle assembly 10 as shown in
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.

A&E's BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT Moves to Thursdays, Beginning Tonight, 10/4
A& E has announced that its series BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT will move to Thursday nights at 10PM ET/PT, beginning tonight, October 4, 2012.
"Beyond Scared Straight" is inspired by "Scared Straight!," the Academy Award and multiple Emmy-winning documentary film by Arnold Shapiro. The series follows at-risk teens who have been in trouble for everything from fighting, theft, and drugs to promiscuity, gambling and gang-relations. They are forced to spend a day in jail, interact with convicted felons and truly experience what a life behind bars is like. In the end, some change for the better, but for others, nothing changes at all.
The season premiere hones in on Boston, MA, where according to street law; the neighborhood you live in defines you; and behind bars, that means conflict. Two of the teen girls collide when they are forced together behind bars: Thalia, an unrelenting bully, fights anyone who gets in her way, even her own grandmother; but it is Jahmiya, a scrappy thief, who leads the other female delinquents to gang up on Thalia, forcing her to take in parts of jail life no one should have to stomach.
Later in the season, teens are taken to the morgue and an older brother is forced to consider how his actions could put his little brother into a body bag, one boy fails a lie detector test when asked about hitting his grandmother, a promiscuous girl is made to dance like a stripper in front of her paraplegic mom, infamous inmate "Ice Mike" returns from last season and forces the teens to put Kool-Aid powder on their lips, and a self-proclaimEd White racist teen endures the wrath of the entire African American inmate population.
Emmy-nominated "Beyond Scared Straight" has been cable's #1 non-fiction crime/justice show for two consecutive years. The series premiere was A&E's most watched original series launch of all-time among A18-49 and in its second season the series averaged 2.3 million total viewers; 1.3 million A18-49 and 1.1 million A25-54.
"Beyond Scared Straight" is produced by Arnold Shapiro Productions for A&E Network. Executive Producer is Arnold Shapiro. Co-Executive Producer is Paul J. Coyne. A&E Executive Producers are David McKillop and Laura Fleury.
A&E is "Real Life. Drama." Now reaching more than 99 million homes, A&E is television that you can't turn away from; where unscripted shows are dramatic and scripted dramas are authentic. A&E offers a diverse mix of high quality entertainment ranging from the network's original scripted series, including "The Glades" and "Longmire," to signature non-fiction franchises, including the Emmy-winning "Intervention," "Duck Dynasty," "Hoarders," "Beyond Scared Straight" and "Storage Wars," and the most successful justice shows on cable, including "The First 48."

Brin's development of a galactic culture based on the raising up of pre sentient beings to sentience and the following term of indenture to the Patron race is great! It's even better because the reader can identify with the "Wolfing" human race as they buck time rusted and rigid galactic society.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The only thing I have seen lately on a par is "Ender's Game" and before that "Dune".
With Startide Rising, David Brin completely breaks this mold. Each novel in his fascinating Uplift series stands on its own. No time is wasted connecting the story lines of each book, nor are readers left wondering "what's going on?" because they haven't read the previous books. Brin simply tells his story, and tells it exceedingly well.
Most modern SF/Fantasy series leave the reader thinking, "What a great story, I can't wait to hear the end,"... but the end may never come. Anne McCaffrey's "Pern" series comes to mind. The early books are memorable and excellent, and seem to have been written for their own sake. But the later books seem to be part of a contrived (and seemingly endless) series, and each subsequent book becomes less and less satisfying. And don't even get me started on Frank Herbert's "Dune" series....
On the other hand, Brin leaves the reader thinking, "What a great story. Tell me another!" Startide Rising is Brin's best work, worthy of every award it has received. Read it, and you will be delighted and satisfied. But be warned: you will then want to read everything else he has written.
On a final note: I wouldn't want to leave the impression that I think no trilogy is worth reading, especially since Brin's latest Uplift novel, Brightness Reef, is the first installment of a "true" trilogy. A trilogy is a larger work than a novel, and allows telling a greater story. If any author is capable of meeting the full challenge of the trilogy format, David Brin is, and the Uplift universe contains a story of mighty proportions. Let us hope the eight-year hiatus in the series has been spent preparing a bigger story which can, like the others, stand on its own. But read Startide Rising and the other books of the first "trilogy" first. It will make the new trilogy all the more meaningful, and all the more excruciating to wait out.
Perhaps the most fascinating part of the book is the dolphin's language and mentality. The dolphins speak a language called trinary, which is in effect speaking in Haiku. This speech develops, in part, from the strange dolphin philosophy of the "Whale Dream". I can't go on enough about Brin's ideas in this area. He is masterfully adept at creating the worldviews of non-humans.
This book, to me, was the prize of the first Uplift trilogy, but the other two are both good reads as well.
"Startide Rising," although not the first book in his "Uplift" universe, is one of the best. In this story, you'll learn that the civilization of five galaxies is home to many races of aliens, all coexisting along with the grand tradition of Uplift: they believe that no sapient spacefaring species can exist without being "uplifted" by a patron species through genetic manipulation and breeding. In return for the gift of sapience, such a client species owes thousands of years of servitude to their patrons. Mythical progenitors who uplifted themselves started the process millions of years ago.
Enter humanity: stumbling onto this civilization in their first extrasolar spacecraft and with their own genetically advanced chimpanzees and dolphins, they throw the universe into disarray. Most everyone would just as soon have them exterminated than given them any recognition, but are prevented from doing so because of a dolphin-crewed spacecraft's discovery of a fleet of gigantic derelicts that could lead to the secrets of the fabled progenitors.
This is just the backdrop to a grand tale that Brin weaves with deft skill. Brin's characters go deep and have strong motivations and emotions. You'll find yourself thinking like a dolphin as Brin describes their language, their interactions with the human and chimpanzee crewmates, their dreams, and their flaws. They and their crewmates struggle to survive the pursuit of the civilization of the five galaxies, and you'll find yourself unable to put the book down as the story progresses.
The story itself is a rich tapestry: Brin presents the alien pursuers and their client species in brief flashes, making them more sinister. Other alien races that support humans, dolphins, and chimpanzees receive more attention and detail, and make intriguing characters.
But "Startide Rising" isn't only about character development: there's exploration of racial tension, galactic politics, artifical intelligence, spatial phenomena, and romance. This riveting story satisfies and yet leaves the reader hungry for more.
Luckily, there are a few other stories out there set in the Uplift universe. And if we're lucky, there'll be more to come.

A Little Bit Of: DLC Quest
By lim_ak 1 Comments
Parody Games!
Ah DLC the wonders of the current generation of games. While obviously the game's purpose is comedy and it succeeds rather well at that, the game itself is kind of whatever. There are some companies that really get DLC and put out really fantastic post release content, others not so much. Some guys do a mix of awful and great. It's clear that this is still a really new thing in the industry by just how it's being pushed in different directions. To use the current favourite whipping game, look at Mass Effect 3 and compare it's day one DLC to how Mass Effect 2 did it with the Cerberus Network.
It wasn't even that long ago. Then you have on disk content that's going to be unlocked at a later date, on one hand to get around the online restrictions that Microsoft and Sony have over their platforms and the other to just tie content to either more money or cross game promotion. Basically it's a collossal mess right now. I have hope that it'll equalise at some point but it's still going to be a while off. I just hope that we won't end up in a pretty anti-consumer sort of place because at the current pace it's not out of the world of possibility.

If you want something. Go get it. Period.
It is about time to update this fabulous section. When I signed up for this my ultimate goal was to fill the required 200 characters and move to the next questions. So here is what you need to know about me. I am a normal woman who does not like drama and is tired of playing games. If you are into any of those (drama and/or games) then please feel free to move onto the next profile :) I have my 5 year plan pretty much figured out so will not need help with that but I would love to share my ups and downs with someone along the way. I am tall and love wearing heels. If you are intimidated by tall women then I am probably not for you. Yes, I have dated shorter guys before but I would prefer meeting someone who I can talk to without having to bend my knees/back (please do not take it personally). I am looking for a man who knows how to respect women (besides the essentials, intelligent, good looking, passionate about his work, family and partner and has been in love before). I believe if we respect each other we will have the opportunity to experience something great together and if for some reason it does not work out then we can just say goodbye on good terms. I love playing/coaching Volleyball, swimming, running, yoga, graphic design and traveling. My work sometimes requires me to travel quite a lot so on those days/months I prefer to not get on an airplane. But in general I love discovering new places.

It's great that NP360 is finally openning.Originally Posted by HongKongDisneyland
Whilst I feel that the park is already a great full day experience, NP360 would be an incentive to actually stay at one of the HKDL Hotels.
It would be more convenient to catch the MTR from HKDL to Tung Chung and NP360 than from Kowloon or HK Island, so it would be great to stay 2 nights at a HKDL hotel, with 1 full day at HK, then the second day at NP360 and then back to HKDL for the afternoon and fireworks again.
Makes me want to go back already!
Originally Posted by V1213Source : Cleveland.comBuddha sites loom large and blissful for visitors
Hong Kong -- Places of worship sometimes turn out to be among the sights that travelers remember most.
That was my experience in visiting two prominent Buddhist sites while in Hong Kong: the world's largest outdoor bronze statue of Buddha, on Lantau Island in Hong Kong harbor; and the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas in the town of Sha Tin, in Hong Kong's New Territories region.
Seated on the highest point of Lantau Island, not far from Hong Kong Disneyland and the world's largest airport, the colossal Tian Tan Buddha (so named because its base is a model of a temple by that name in Beijing) was the most awesome sight on our journey. We had caught an earlier glimpse of it from the air at sunset as our plane was approaching Hong Kong.
The statue is 100 feet high and weighs 275 tons. We could see it long before actually arriving at the Po Lin Monastery.
We arrived at the monastery by taking a ferry from Hong Kong harbor to the Lantau Island village of Mui Wo, then taking the No. 2 public bus for a half-hour ride along a narrow, twisting road.
At the monastery, we paid 20 HK dollars (about $2.50 U.S.), which covered access to the Buddha statue, the monastery and a vegetarian lunch prepared by the monks.
The statue sits overlooking a stairway of nearly 300 steps, requiring almost everyone to look straight into the serene face as they climb. The seated statue has the right hand raised, which we were told symbolizes the dismissal of pain and sorrow.
The statue of bronze laid on a steel framework was completed in December 1993 after three years, at a cost of about $68 million. It is surrounded by eight smaller statues of deities.
Our visit, including the travel time from the hotel, required most of a day. Sometime this year, or by early next year, that time should be reduced substantially when a cable-car lift system will allow visitors to take a public train to the Disneyland train stop (Sunny Bay) on Lantau Island and then ride the lift to the top of the mountain.
Yawn. Nothing to make me want to cough up money to fly to Hong Kong.
Well, it doesn't do anything more since I'm already psyched to get to HK
when u coming over?Originally Posted by nish221
Ngong Ping 360, Hong Kong's stunning new tourist attraction is set to open in June 2006. Ngong Ping 360 combines a cable car journey to the Tian Tan Buddha Statue on Lantau Island with a cultural themed village where visitors can immerse themselves in the culture and heritage of Hong Kong in a way which is both fascinating and fun.
Ngong Ping 360 starts at the Tung Chung Skyrail Terminal, conveniently located just five-minutes by taxi from the airport or steps from Tung Chung MTR station, 30-minutes by MTR from Central.
Ngong Ping Skyrail, an unforgettable 5.7 km cableway trip, is the first leg of Hong Kong's newest multi-faceted tourist experience.
The 25-minute journey gives a sensational bird's eye view of the planes taking off and landing at Hong Kong International Airport and stunning vistas of the South China Sea. As the Skyrail glides silently over the scenic North Lantau Country Park, visitors will see a canopy of trees beneath, and catch glimpses of natural wonders such as waterfalls, wildlife and the mountain scenery.
At the end of the 25 minute journey, Ngong Ping Skyrail Terminal located at Ngong Ping Village near the imposing Tian Tan Buddha Statue becomes visible.
Ngong Ping Village has been designed to reflect the area's cultural heritage and spiritual history. The village features a comprehensive range of shops and restaurants to compliment the attractions set in this unique venue.
Against the backdrop of a picturesque garden and the traditional Chinese architecture, a number of themed attractions await. These are Walking with Buddha, the Monkey's Tale Theatre and Ngong Ping Tea House.
Walking with Buddha uses modern multimedia to give an absorbing insight into the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the man who lived 2,500 years ago in Nepal and became Buddha. The atmospheric drama heightens as mist descends through a magic Bodhi tree and incense smoke billows. Visitors hear the voice of the spirit of the tree telling the story of the man who asked himself: "Who am I and why am I here?" They can feast their eyes on a 2.5 metre high translucent image of Buddha and enjoy two short three-minute movies describing his path to enlightenment through seven scenes.
The Monkey's Tale Theatre takes place in a magical courtyard, under the branches of the majestic Bodhi tree. It is a charmingly comical show with a moral twist, inspired by the famous Buddhist Jataka stories. It is designed to be a complete sensory experience for visitors of all ages. High definition animation, special visual effects and surround sound tell the story of a selfish monkey who, with the help of the Monkey King, learns his lesson about humility and kindness.
After these exciting attractions, it's time for a soothing demonstration of traditional tea ceremonies at the Ngong Ping Tea House, set in a beautiful Chinese garden.
The day would be incomplete without a trip up the steps to see the remarkable Tian Tan Buddha Statue and Po Lin Monastery. Visitors can take their time at the village, and return by Skyrail to Tung Chung

Look at those towers. That's why I'm one of those people who does not miss the Skyway! 50 years later and man has still not come up with a feasable way to build a sky bucket ride that does not play havoc with the beauty of the surrounding area.
Acutally I was gonna say the opposite, look at those towers! That is one beastly looking skyway (in a good way).

Choosing the Right IRA for You
Traditional and Roth IRAs are both designed to help you save for retirement. With a traditional IRA, your contributions may be tax-deductible and can grow tax-deferred. With a Roth IRA, your contributions are non-deductible, but have the potential to grow tax free.
How Much Can I Contribute to an IRA?
You may contribute 100% of earned income to either a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA or both types of IRAs up to the annual contribution limit. The contribution limit for 2015 is $5,500 or $6,500 if you are 50 years of age or older.
Traditional IRA
If you have earned income, you're eligible to contribute. Even if you don't have earned income, you can still contribute if your spouse has earned income and you file your taxes as Married Filing Jointly. However, in either case, you must stop making contributions the year you reach age 70½.
Roth IRA
If you have earned income, or your spouse has earned income and you file your taxes as Married Filing Jointly, you can contribute at any age as long as your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) falls below or within the limits listed below.
If you are not currently eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA you might consider converting your Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and enjoy tax-free income in the future. Learn more about Roth IRA conversions.
When Can I Access My IRA?
Traditional IRA: You can access your money at any time, but a withdrawal is subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you take a distribution before reaching age 59½. Exceptions to early withdrawal penalties are:
- Death or disability
- College expenses
- First-time home purchase (up to $10,000)
- Payment of health insurance premiums after 12 consecutive weeks of unemployment
- Payment of medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of MAGI
- Systematic distributions [72(t)]
- IRS levy
- Qualified reservist distribution
If you take a distribution after age 59½, you pay ordinary income tax on the withdrawal but do not pay a penalty. Required minimum distributions (RMDs) begin at age 70½.

The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) On-Line System (OLS) provides a flexible and highly interactive vehicle for instruction in many engineering subjects, The system capabilities and instructional potential are discussed and illustrated by examples. Experience at UCSB over the past four years has shown that student motivation and comprehension are increased markedly by OLS use, and that this benefit extends to all class participants. The system is currently being used by sophomores and up, in subjects including complex variables, networks, controls, and hydrodynamics. The OLS is exportable to many IBM 360 systems, and the cost is within the means of most engineering departments.
