So I have always wanted an Oldenburg as my second horse. I plan on buying a nice property in a few years with a big barn where I can have others board and train and when I do so I will be looking more into buying a new horse. I honestly don't know a whole lot about the breed, so if anyone does, please post info. Are the good jumpers? Well tempered? Too hard to handle? Energetic? Lazy? Anything you can tell me. I am only looking to do show jumping with the horse, no dressage or eventing or anything. It'll mostly be a show horse, as I have an Appaloosa that is my trail horse. How much does a well bred Oldenburg cost? Is it in the upwards of $10,000+? (then I can't afford one). If you guys maybe know of any ads of some Oldy's for sale please do post as well!
(if you do not like the breed, tell me politely and give reasoning. Don't just say I don't like them. If you give me enough reasoning it may alter my decision in the long run of getting one so I'd like good info as to why)
Thanks so much!

Cooking For Your Mum/Mother-in-Law This Sunday? The Chiappas Cook An Easy But Impressive Mother's Day Showstopper
Last Friday we noted a particularly interesting tweet from a PR at luxury department store Harvey Nichols concerning the endlessly-covetable Celine Luggage Tote. Rather than waning in popularity, Phoebe Philo's first It-Bag for Celine, launched way back in Spring 2010 has grown in stature with Harvey Nicks reporting its biggest ever sales of the style this month. The tweet got us thinking about what makes a true It Bag and the ingredients needed to reach the status of proper arm candy icon.
One thing is clear: A-list credentials alone are not enough to sustain the position of a tote on the It-Bag-ometer. And however much we might go gaga for furry embellished, colour clashing bags at the beginning of the season, the totes that stand the test of time are always classically chic and simple to a fault. Chanel's 2.55, Hermes' Birkin and Kelly and even the new 'It' on-the-block, Saint Laurent's Duffle all share a clean simplicity in terms of design. Totally lacking accoutrements, each of the true 'It' bags are identifiable at a hundred paces due to their distinctive lines and construction.
It Bags, Old & New, Clockwise from top Left: Hermes Kelly, Chanel 2.55, Hermes Birkin, Saint Laurent Duffle
So what is it in particular about the Luggage Tote that has garnered such endless popularity? A proper 'It bag' is functional as well as chic – if a bag doesn't work it will never get hit the 'It' big time. The Luggage Tote is roomy, thus ideal for day, whether you are dressing for the office or the gym. The easy to carry handles and simple front zip also add function to form. Importantly the Luggage Tote feels substantial, like you are investing in properly well-made, quality crafted heirloom. Then there are the endlessly covetable colourways... If you need any more convincing of the Luggage Tote's appeal we suggest you click through the gallery below to see the stars who have already fallen for its charms!

Kent-born Walter Tull, who was promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant despite a ban on black officers being given the status, died in battle in 1918.
The coin, featuring a portrait of the officer with a backdrop of soldiers going "over the top", will be one of a set of six £5 coins to remember the sacrifice made by so many during the war.
Other coins in the first set, released as part of a five-year programme, include depictions of troops leaving for France and those working on the Home Front. Subsequent issues will cover key battles and the stories of heroes, such as Walter Tull.
Shane Bissett, the Royal Mint's director of commemorative coin, medals and bullion, said the coins will capture "the emotive journey from outbreak to armistice".

McCarron & Manziel Planning Beach Trip
Neither Alabama QB AJ McCarron nor Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel are letting their duties as quarterbacks for SEC West rivals get in the way of what looks like a budding bromance.
In an interview for a USA Today story that ran on Saturday, McCarron mentioned that the two of them are even planning a beach getaway for the end of May. This certainly explains the following, chummy Twitter exchange between the two from April 18.
Hate me or love me, I will forever be me!! And that will never change. #mobtown #251 #RTR #3xCHAMP
— AJ McCarron (@10AJMcCarron) April 19, 2013
@10ajmccarron TELL EM!
— Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) April 19, 2013
@jmanziel2 always bro! But I'm ready for our trip in may. Hit u up with more Info. Be good bro
— AJ McCarron (@10AJMcCarron) April 19, 2013
@10ajmccarron just keep in touch and let me know! Text me if you ever need anything!
— Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) April 19, 2013
@jmanziel2 gotcha.
— AJ McCarron (@10AJMcCarron) April 19, 2013
"We're either going to Key West or Cancun and will hang out with our other friends," McCarron told Laken Litman. "Me and him, we don't ever let that (football talk) bother us. He's a good friend of mine, and he's a funny dude.
"Football is our life, so when we get away, we try to get away and not really bring that in. He's got all the trash talk on me because he won, so there ain't much I can talk about."
Judging by Manziel's spring break in Cabo, the trip should be plenty crazy. If McCarron and Manziel bring their respective girlfriends, Katherine Webb and Sarah Savage, along for the trip, the internet might explode.

What are your thoughts on Milena? I have always really liked it and I know that the traditional nn for it, Mila, is skyrocketing up the popularity list, but I wouldn't use it, and I feel like Mila as a nn for Milena is not that obvious.
Milena is new to the list at 965. I'm not one to care for popularity that much anyway.
Do you like it? If you could tell me why or why not that would be great.

Healthy Easter Basket Ideas
Get Egg-cited Over These Items For a Healthier Easter Basket
Like us on Facebook
Easter is almost here, and for some of us, that means a big brunch followed by a helping of candy — who can resist Cadbury Creme Eggs and marshmallow Peeps? While there's nothing wrong with enjoying a few Easter treats, weighing your basket down with chocolate, caramel eggs, and jelly beans can be the gateway to mindlessly snacking on candy for the rest of the week. Whether you're making a basket for a friend or the little one in your life, keep reading for some healthy ideas to sneak in among the candy.
Photo: Jenny Sugar
- Less-processed treats like these healthier homemade desserts:
Vegan chocolate-dipped peanut butter crisp balls
Vegan peanut butter patties
Paleo dark chocolate nut clusters
Vegan carrot cake cupcakes
- Decorated hard-boiled eggs to use later in one of these healthy hard-boiled-egg recipes
- Spring flowers like tulips, dahlias, or lilies
- If you're going to put a little chocolate in your basket, choose antioxidant-rich dark chocolate that's organic or fair trade
- Health and fitness magazines, small gadgets, or DVDs
- Carrots — they're the Easter Bunny's favorite snack, after all
- Pastel-colored fitness gear like headbands, socks, or workout tanks
- Especially for kids: books, puzzles, small toys, stuffed bunnies, stickers, coloring books and watercolor paints, magnets, disposable cameras, packets of seeds and gardening tools, plastic eggs filled with glow sticks (to be used later for a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt), Play-Doh or Silly Putty (it even comes in its own egg), or pastel-colored socks
- Need a healthier alternative to jelly beans? Try energizing sports chews like Clif Shot Bloks or homemade fruit leather

Great ideas! For kids and adults you can use confetti filled eggs and marshmallow guns too! I just wrote about these alternatives at thewellnessexperiment.com :)

Great comment, Allyta. My mother always made lots of hard-boiled eggs for easter, and we loved them! Still, there's nothing wrong with normal sweet treats for Easter, too. As long as you aren't normally stuffing yourself or your kids with sweets, Easter candy isn't going to harm anything.

Eh... I get an easter basket of bad stuff from my parents every year. I hide it in my cupboard and forget about it until I'm craving something sugary or chocolatey. The basket usually lasts me a few months. I'm not too concerned about it!

My BFF (as the teens say) is diabetic. Although we are over 35, I like to send her a basket each year because her parents are both passed away. Last year, I found chocolate scented, rabbit shaped soaps at the local health food store. You can bet those "chocolate bunnies" landed in the basket immediately! LOL ;) Now I have to find more of them for 2009. :)

growing up (Jewish), I always yearned for the basket of chocolate bunnies and jelly beans and fake green grass. I now indulge in a Cadbury's Egg or two during the month of March...they're my favorite. Pink jelly beans, too. Mmmm...

Great ideas, thank you! So far for my daughters I have some organic chocolate bars, gluten-free cookies (the oldest is intolerant to wheat) and organic dried fruit bars, and of course I plan on adding the homemade colored eggs and small toys etc, but the trailmix and chocolate-covered pretzels are a great idea!

you know how to make your easter healthier? by from eastern culture and not eat chocolate eggs but real ones.

Thank you for the info on dark chocolate. That's interesting...although I have to say I wish I would have learned this before I spent months trying to get myself to enjoy the stuff... I am making baskets for my mom and my boo's parents this year full of exotic teas. All the talk about the benefits of green tea on this website made me decide to send them a not-so-subtle hint. And maybe a chocolate bar thrown in as well...

My mom STILL gives us Easter Baskets every year (even though I'm 26...she refuses to let us grow up, lol). She always puts in non-candy stuff because she knows I'm pretty health conscious. Usually, she puts in sugarless gum, fun pens, new socks, scented candles, a new book that she thinks I'll like, a DVD, or individual packs of coffee in really yummy flavors. I like the idea of giving kids baskets that aren't just candy...they really don't need all that sugar.

this is a great idea. i think most people would rather receive a basket with some thoughtful and creative gifts instead of the same old chocolate bunnies and jelly beans.

on the topic of dark chocolate...the best thing ever is to buy a tub of plain unmodified Cocoa powder.. put about 1 tbsp in a large mug, fill it up with hot water and a bit of milk and stevia...oh man! gourmet hot chocolate. all the benefits of cocoa without sugar or many calories!!
Berlin 7 years
I really wish people would do more research into their Dark Chocolate theory. It has been further discovered that while chocolate, and the rich dark cocoa, provides a load of antioxidants and other healthy aspects...HOWEVER when the chocolate is converted into a bar, it's beneficial aspects have almost been completely removed! And the regular Hershey's Dark Chocolate isn't nearly high enough anyways, it needs to be like the 75% and above cocoa, which by the way is uber yuck:) But to get the wonderful antioxidants and benefits of the dark chocolate, you need to use Unprocessed Dutch Cocoa Powder, like in your milk, coffee, mixed with honey, or use as a topping on well anything!

Oh, I also did Easter "baskets" for my friends this year. They received spring-time pajamas aka bright colored short and tank sets.

I just got a package in the mail from my parents which is basically a grown-up Easter basket. It mostly had sugar in it, so all that stuff went into the kitchen at work for my co-workers to enjoy. I still appreciate the gesture, but maybe I'll have to direct my mom to this page. Cute suggestions, Fit.

Martial Arts Participation Survey
I am working on the dissertation phase of my PhD at Northcentral University. I need adult martial artists (18 and older) in the United States of all ranks to take my survey.
The survey does not ask sensitive personal information or any information that can identify and individual or their school.
Would you help me by taking my survey? It should take less than 10 minutes.I would sincerely appreciate your help.
Simply follow this link. The survey is hosted on one of the popular professional survey sites.
Phrost suggested I post this request on Bullshido. I am not sure where is the best place on here. I will answer any questions you may have regarding the survey or my research. Thanks again for your help!
Hi Thompson_acma. I moved your thread to the general martial arts forum. The one you originally posted in, the Basic Technique forum, is strictly for discussing martial technique.
While you will probably have to put up with more jokesters in this forum, you will also get more exposure and probably more participation.
Welcome to the site and good luck with your research.
welcome to bullshido. I'll go take it...and I'd suggest posting the link on the wall for the bullshido facebook page, as some posters are more addicted to Facebook than BS.
Also craig's list, for your region/city might help.
EDIT: just did the survey. I'll post to my facebook profile also...to hopefully get another couple of responses, for you.

Travel. Adventure. Fun.
I love travelling and outdoor adventures. Fluent in sarcasm, I am looking for someone to laugh with and explore with. Having moved back to the States last spring after a few years abroad in New Zealand and Australia, I only recently moved downtown. I would travel absolutely anywhere for the experience. I love cooking and trying out new places to eat. I love being active and outdoors for any reason. I love to laugh at myself and surround myself with people who can take a joke and give one back. Any live music or sporting event and I'm happy. I don't need to know the band or team playing, the environment is enough for me, although I would of course choose a Blackhawks game over most. I really just want to meet new people, have some laughs and check out as much as I can. I will try anything once, and would love to meet people who could introduce me to new adventures! Let's go somewhere, people!
Book club , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

Last thing I read was Middlesex by Jeffrey Euginedes....amazing author. John Steinbeck is probably my favorite author, leaving East of Eden as one of my favorite books. But, I read just about anything.

OpenGL spaned over 2 Cards
Does anybodyknow how you can use a dual head AGP graphics card and an pci single head (same chip) to get triple display OpenGL??
Is this feature going to be included in future drivers?
Does it need a kernel hack?
Think nVidia is goin' to make something like a "triple-view" enhancement over the (realy good) twinview feature.?
When you make a big desktop out of multiple cards you use "Xinerama". The nvidia drivers don't like this much and only ONE card gets OpenGL support. There's nothing you can do about that.
I know that
I know that that's the current situation. But what I really want to know is if it's possible? Can drivers like this be developed? Is it even possible to span OpenGL over two card, or is opengl restricted to one device
This all is independend of nVidia's drivers.
Maybe it requires a new layer in the rendering of graphic. :confused: I really don't know.
I don't know where the problems lies. But I suspect that it lies by GLX (the GL extension for X) which only supports GL on one card at the same time but not sure ...
If you make all the screens use a seperate X screen (using the new "twinview" way on the twinview card or just normal twinview ) and another normal X screen, you can have GL on all 3 screens. Only you can't move windows from screen 1 to screen 2 ..... but you can move the mouse.
Thats right but according to the readme that comes with the nvidia drivers OpenGL HW Accel is restricted to 1 of the 2 X screens at any time.
I say 1 of 2 because twinview makes the dual display appear as one X screen.
So I would be able to have openGL on my pci card (single display) or my agp card (dual display). Not on both at the same time.
This option would greatly improve the gaming on my linux box.
Triple screen UT2003,q1,q2,q3, RTCW (DOOM3 later this year) and off course tetris.....
thanks for thinking with me

*Before you ask, no, there are no free shoes...
*Before you ask, no, there are no free shoes here, except for mine and I don't think you want those. Most women love shoes so why not put something up to garner attention. Hopefully it worked. First off, if I want to play games, I'll date a girl named monopoly or candyland. Second, I'm not here just to talk and email. To sum up what I want in one sentence, I want somebody that makes me a better person everyday. I know it exists, I've seen it and experienced it even if just for a little. Just want someone that is tired of the garbage. If you want to know more about me, please ask. I am your normal guy as far as what I like (bikes, sports, gym, sunshine, beach, traveling, dogs to name a few). I have never smoked anything nor done any type of illegal drug (so don't roufie me). Have tried yoga and found out I'm hilariously bad at that but interesting, would like to get back into it. Was doing volunteering, enjoy it, very rewarding, be even better with a partner in crime. Have traveled to 41 of our states and definitely want to hit all 50. Only been to Mexico and Canada so I need to add other countries. Music taste is everything from Metallica, U2, Green Day, ACDC, Snoop Dog, Jimmy Buffet, Sheryl Crow, Billy Joel, Toby Keith to name a few. I enjoy life and try to enjoy it as much as possible. Love my college football Saturdays and pro football Sundays. Hockey is the best sport live, I mean blades and sticks are given out, concerts and live music are great. Big movie buff as well. I do have a very busy but fun schedule, would love to make room and share it with someone special. The goal is to be best friends as well as to be serious. I grew up in NC, have lived in S GA, Gainesville, Tampa, San Diego, back to WPB/Jupiter back to Tampa. I do not speak or type in internet language. I do not do any form of LOL and never will. NC gets a bad rep as it is for education, so it is important I think to have good grammar. Yes, I know the difference between your/you're, there/their/they're and than/then. However, my spelling is usually atrocious, so thank God for spell checker. Physically: yes, I love to work out, its more mental for me and I like feeling healthy but I will never have a 6 pack, I like to eat and I like good beer. I do go with the shaved head look, no, I am not bald, just have figured out this is the best look for me. I do wear baseball hats all the time as I enjoy them but I can dress appropriately and look dapper when needed, which always shocks my friends (found a little secret, try and find the gay man at the men's store, they love playing dress the hetero up). Yes, I am legit 6 feet tall, no idea why guys would lie about their height.

I like Dogs
I do not have any dogs. The two pics of the bulldog and pug use to be my dogs. My pug, I gave to my mom, which has been great for her and I had to give away Savanna. Worst day of my life, still miss her tremendously. Keep them on here bc I love dogs.
Some other viewpoint
I love the local dive bars, as well as a good restaurant. Love mom and pop places to eat. I love live music. Does it get better then at a beach bar, draft beer, raw oysters and live music? Like to know where.
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC
I enjoy all kinds of food, mexican being my fav, seafood a close second . Favorite movie, GoodFellas TV would be Bar Rescue, Justified, Americans, Legit, Following, Breaking Bad, family guy and sports.
Being in the sun and staying in shape. I enjoy the gym. boot camp and martial arts classes. I do enjoy going out, but I like staying in for movies and tv (not much into reality) as well. Amusement parks are great entertainment as well.
Your email and hopefully it will be the last one on here

Has anyone ever used a second hand breast pump or does anyone intend to use one? My sister-in-law sent me hers and I am a little hesitate to use it, not because she is dirty or anything like that. Just simply the thought of her breast milk being in there prior to mine.
Breast pump
Comments (5)
I'm going to be using one, and as long as it has been properly sterilized it should be fine.
Emberlyn Brielle was born March 21, 2010 at 4:52am!
breast milk shouldn't actually get in the "pump" part. Everything else can be washed and sterilized. You can even buy the parts new.
You can buy those little white flaps new and you'll need new tubing because they get moisture in them that is hard to clean and dry. That part can mildew. BUT milk shouldn't ever be in the tubing. Just air.
Thank you ladies for your input! This is my first child so I don't know much about breast pumps>
I have one that I have used with my three other children and I let my SIL borrow it. We just boil the parts. I wouldn't use one from someone I didn't know, but since she was my SIL I felt comfortable sharing it. I agree milk should not get into the actual breast pump just the parts. I have a pump in style.
There are actually two types of breast pumps. Some are closed circuit and some are open. Meaning that the milk goes thru the motor part. If you look at the FDA website and search breast pumps it will tell you which ones are closed v. open. Various virus including HIV and hepatitus can be passed to the baby if its an open system. Often times mom gets cracked and bloody nipples.
On the closed circuit ones you can buy replacement tubing, etc. I had a used one from a friend and looked into the replacement parts but they were going to be $88.
I called my insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and they told me a new one would be covered at 90% if purchased from a DME supplier with a doctor's prescription. So a new one was only going to cost me $27 vs the $88 for replacement parts. Not a tough decision to make.
Anyway, you may want to call your insurance co and see what it covers.

Elk City Crappie Fishing
What is the length limit for walleye?
The statewide length limit for walleye in Kansas is 15 inches, but that doesn't mean that all lakes have the same length limits. Some lakes have an 18-inch minimum length limit for walleye, and in others the length limit is 21 inches. The best way to make sure your fish are legal is to check the 2010 Kansas Fishing Regulation Summary before you go. In it, you'll find a listing of all special length and creel limits for each reservoir and lake. Better yet, grab an extra regulations pamphlet wherever licenses are sold and keep it in your tackle box or boat.

35 year old man | Fountain Hills, AZ, USA | Seeking women 25-33 within 50 miles
I am originally from California. I moved to Arizona when I was 12, and then lived in Las Vegas for a couple of years before coming back to Arizona. I am extremely close to my family, and enjoy spending time with friends. I am spontaneous, almost to a fault. Though, it's carried me to some pretty cool places. I am an outdoors junkie, so I'm content anywhere sunglasses might be required. I also love to travel, though work sometimes puts a kink in that (even though work requires some travel). For me, traveling overseas is what got me hooked. So, I don't plan on stopping until I've covered the globe. I have an enormous sense of humor, and am really quick on my feet. So, it's definitely a plus if you can match wits with me. All I can say is good luck! :) A happy place for me is music. I love country music (as if you couldn't tell haha), though I have an ear for many genres. I usually go to at least a half dozen concerts a year, which typically culminates with Country Thunder. I have been going for 10 years, and love every minute of it. I try surrounding myself with good, honest people. I believe we are judged more by what we do, than what we say.

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2013 June 2 Nature & Science Signature Auction, featuring The Hoppel Collection of Fine Minerals - Dallas.
Cleoniceras cleon
Ammonites represent some of the most beautiful fossils in the world of paleontology. Once a dominant species on our planet, Ammonites were found in oceans across the globe for almost 350 million years, ranging in size from less than an inch, to the monstrous proportions seen here. The architectural elements of this 84 million year old fossil remain remarkably detailed, vastly contributing to its aesthetic. Furthermore, this incredible specimen has been sliced in half to expose the remarkable mineral replacement that has occurred in its inner living and buoyancy chambers. Crystals of calcite in a gorgeous range of caramel-honey hues fill the interior, and the sliced faces have been brought to a high polished finish further to enhance the incredible natural beauty.
While most ammonites from Madagascar are fairly small in size and rarely get bigger than the size of a dinner plate, the present specimen is an incredible 43 inches wide and contains over 70 distinct chambers. The exteriors have also been polished, and the result is a matching pair of display pieces of both immense size and immense aesthetic appeal. Accompanied by custom steel stands.

In cooler weather, I use a Walmart ATV seat. It helps too, and it was less than 20 bucks.
Hi Guys,
I just got my self a '99 XR600R few moths ago and now have decided to do some changes to it in order to have more range for my trips.
I was very keen on getting the Acerbis 22L tank but every where i search for i bump into the Acerbis 22L XR650 tank and seeing that you guys have discussed about it before just wanted to check if this tank will fit my bike without needing to do any metal work on it.
The tank looks like the one you have on the bike but dont know if the mountings from the 99 xr 600 are the same with the xr 650 and if the seat will fit just fine.
I'll appreciate your comments.

High School Heisman Award goes to Gibson Southern's Tyler Ziliak
Gibson Southern High School senior Tyler Ziliak's anatomy class on Wednesday had nothing to do with body parts.
As the boys' winner of the Wendy's High School Heisman Award for Indiana, Ziliak was surprised in the class by a group of dignitaries from the fast-food chain bearing Frostys for everyone.
"They had a little presentation," said Ziliak, a four-sport standout for the Titans. "They gave me my state silver medal, a patch (for his letter jacket) and we all had a Frosty. I already knew about the award, but that was a complete surprise."
Ziliak was the state winner, along with girls' winner Skyler Carpenter of Westview High School, out of a field of over 1,100 applicants.
"With so many people in the running it definitely felt good to win," said Ziliak, currently the point guard on the basketball team. "It's all about the sports you play, community involvement, academics and a couple essay questions. I guess I did well."
Ziliak said he didn't think he would become of one of 12 national finalists for the award since a boys' winner from his region was already named, but he "wasn't sure."
That's of no concern to his basketball coach and athletic director at Gibson Southern.
"I know it's cliché," said AD Jon Adams, "but you'd love to have five like him. He's a hard worker on the field and in the classroom where he's a 4.0 student. Tyler personifies the term student-athlete."
Boys' basketball coach Travis Farmer said Ziliak was the perfect teammate.
"He's a team-sport guy," said Farmer. "He knows how to be a leader within the framework of a team without being a rah-rah guy. He understands what it takes to lead a team during competition.
"He's a soft-spoken guy who leads by example, which makes him the perfect fit to lead our team this year as our starting point guard. You couldn't have a better fit out in front than somebody with his resume."
Ziliak is just happy to be starting on what is already his third team of the year after he played both soccer and football in the fall.
"I was the starting keeper on the soccer team and went out for football this year for the first time and played wide receiver," he said. "In the spring I'll play baseball again."
When he's done he will have collected nine varsity letters for the Titans as well as being one of the leaders in the classroom.
Other area athletes among the 20 state finalists in Indiana included Southridge senior Cassie Wertman, who won the state title in the discus last spring, and North senior Caleb Kerr, the winner of the Brown County cross country semistate title this fall.

38 year old man | Santa Monica, CA, USA | Seeking women 29-38 within 10 miles
Hello? Is this thing on? Testing, testing...
I'm from and currently live in Santa Monica. I went to high school in Colorado. I got my business degree from Chapman University. I currently work in accounting in Culver City. I'm a pretty down to earth guy. My friends would say that I'm funny, caring, genuine and extremely loyal to those close to me. Some of my favorite things are punk and rockabilly music, although my cd collection spans from jazz to metal. I love Mexican food, classic cars, classic movies, going to the beach, checking out new exhibits at museums, going to concerts and traveling. I've been to many different countries and would love to go to more. Send me an email and I will tell you about the time I ran out of money in Thailand and played cards for cash in the Bangkok airport. It was a hell of an adventure.

The long wait is over.
Marquette is back in the NCAA men's soccer tournament for the first time in 15 years.
Now the seventh-seeded Golden Eagles (16-3-1) want to take advantage of the opportunity as they host Northwestern (12-5-4) at 4 p.m. Sunday in a second-round game at Valley Fields.
It has been a magical season for Marquette, which has yet to lose at home (10-0-1) and will be seeking the program's first NCAA tournament victory.
"This has been a season of unbelievable substance," Marquette coach Louis Bennett said. "And I'll tell you what, it's been so much fun.
"The challenge now is we've got a team that's already won a game in the NCAA. They're an experienced team and they have a completely different style to us.
"They smother you; they contain you. They possess until they create good chances. They are a very disciplined team."
Northwestern used a goal by senior Nick Gendron to defeat Western Illinois, 1-0, in a first-round match Thursday night in Evanston, Ill.
The Wildcats, under coach Tim Lenahan, are playing in the NCAA tournament for the third time in four seasons.
Both Marquette and Northwestern have played against the top-seeded team in the entire NCAA field, Notre Dame. The Golden Eagles lost to the Irish on the road, 3-1, and played to a 1-1 draw with Notre Dame at Valley Fields.
Northwestern scored a 1-0 home-field victory over the Irish.
"We've competed very well against the top teams," Lenahan said. "It's tournament time and I'm not worried about our motivation."
The Golden Eagles gained confidence from some narrow early season victories - including a last-second, game-winning goal against UW-Milwaukee - and carried it through. They posted a signature home-field victory over Connecticut during the Big East schedule and topped Louisville in a Big East quarterfinal on the road.
"You deal with it in sports, image, perception and reality," Bennett said. "We've tried to build an image and perception of ourselves, but the reality is are you winning games.
"Those early games we didn't play as well. We had to accentuate the positive and squeeze out those things that were going to hurt us. We got through those early stages."
The Golden Eagles have excelled with a young back line featuring 6-foot-7 redshirt freshman Axel Sjoberg and also have relied heavily on redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Charlie Lyon and junior midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka.
"A lot goes through him," Bennett said of Ciesiulka, who has five goals and nine assists. "But even the games he hasn't had a lot, he just works his tail off. He's not just the piano player; he's a piano carrier sometimes."
Senior forward Andy Huftalin has a team-high 24 points, including 10 goals and four game-winners. Redshirt junior forward Adam Lysak has five goals and four assists.
If Marquette wins Sunday, it would host a third-round game Nov. 25 against the Louisville-Winthrop winner.
The Wildcats feature Big Ten freshman of the year Joey Calistri, who has a team-leading eight goals. Goalkeeper Tyler Miller has a 0.81 goals-against average and nine shutouts.
MU women face BYU: The Marquette women's team plays Brigham Young in a third-round NCAA tournament match at 6 p.m. Saturday in Provo, Utah.
The Golden Eagles (18-2-2) already have posted tournament victories over Princeton and Illinois State.
Marquette is playing in the women's Sweet 16 for the third time in program history but has never advanced into the quarterfinals.
Senior defender Ally Miller leads a Golden Eagles defense that has allowed only 12 goals in 22 games and has 16 shutouts, tying a school record.

very happy!!!
Lakiya from High Point, NC– Verified Buyer
We purchased a counter height dining table a year ago. It only came with 4 chairs. At the time we only needed for since our youngest daughter was just getting into a high chair. We thought eventually we would just go back and order two more chairs. Looking online, most counter height chairs were almost $100.00 a piece. Wayfair gave me the best deal $100.00 FOR BOTH!!! They match perfectly with our dining table and I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. Fast shipping and it arrived in perfect condition.

An intermediate carrier with several contact fingers is disclosed for the support and contacting of a semiconductor member. The contact fingers have an outer contact and an inner contact. An inner contact is provided for each electrode of the semiconductor member. In relation to the adjoining areas of the contact fingers, the inner contacts are constructed as raised projections or bumps. The space required between the contact fingers and the semiconductor member is produced primarily by the projections or bumps.
1. An intermediate member system for mounting and contacting a semiconductor body, comprising:
a semiconductor body having thin electrodes, said electrodes having a height above a top surface of the semiconductor body which provides insufficient clearance to permit direct lateral contacting;
self-supporting metal contact fingers which each have an outer contact and an inner contact, each inner contact connecting by solder with one of said semiconductor body electrodes, each of the inner contacts being provided as an integral raised projection with respect to adjacent bordering portions of the fingers and formed by a depression in the fingers, a height of said projection being sufficient to prevent contact between said adjacent bordering portions of the finger and the top surface of the semiconductor body, a connection facing surface of the inner contact not overlapping the electrode of the semiconductor body;
support frame means connecting to said outer contacts;
and a solder repelling layer provided in said depression and adjacent to each inner contact connection with the semiconductor electrode.
2. The system of claim 1 in which the raised projections are of the same material as the fingers.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein a portion of the contact fingers with the outer contacts is substantially wider than a portion of the contact fingers with the inner contacts.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the outer contacts connect to a metallic system carrier.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the raised projection and outer contact have approximately twice the vertical thickness of other regions of the contact fingers.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the raised projection and the outer contact are covered with an easily contactable surface layer means as compared to the contactability of the material of the fingers for solder connection to the semiconductor body electrodes and the support frame means.
7. The system of claim 6 wherein the surface layer means is comprised of an element selected from the group consisting of tin, tin-lead, and gold.
This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 858,395, filed Dec. 7, 1977 now abandoned.
The invention relates to an intermediate member or subcarrier for mounting and contacting a semiconductor body by use of contact fingers which, in each case, have an outer contact and an inner contact corresponding to an electrode of the semiconductor body. An inventive process for the production of this kind of metallic intermediate member is also described.
Intermediate members of the above type are utilized to an increasing degree in the installation or mounting of semiconductor bodies, since they permit a simultaneous contacting of all the electrodes of the semiconductor body, instead of the previously commonly employed individual contacting via wires. As intermediate members or subcarriers, not only metallic structures on a synthetic material band are known, but also purely metallic formed parts which can be produced by etching or electroplating techniques. Semiconductor bodies which are contacted in this manner can be installed in conventional system carriers, referred to as spiders, or spray-coated to form a housing, (British Pat. No. 1,199,848) or directly installed in film circuits or printed circuits.
This kind of contacting also involves certain precautions with respect to semiconductor bodies, however. All electrodes of the semiconductor bodies must be provided with connection bumps or projections. As a result, the connection point becomes accessible, and the contact finger of the intermediate member is held at a distance by the hard copper core of the bump, and thus the danger of short circuits to the surface of the semiconductor body is avoided. However, the production of the connection bumps on the semiconductor body causes difficulties, since, during the build-up, the covering and passivation layer on the surface is damaged or its adhesive strength is diminished. That, in turn, diminishes the yield, increases the short-circuit danger during the contacting, and decreases the reliability in operation.
It is an object of the invention to provide an intermediate member for mounting and contacting a semiconductor body and which permits a reliably operating and inexpensively formed contacting.
This objective is accomplished in an intermediate member according to the invention since inner contacts are provided as raised bumps or projections at least opposite adjacent regions of the contact fingers. In the intermediate member of the invention, the distance necessary between contact fingers and the semiconductory body is thus provided in greater part by the projections on the contact fingers. As a result, the electrodes on the semiconductor body only need to be provided with a contactable layer of small thickness, and the passivation layer is not damaged by protracted build-up operations. Furthermore, it is possible to build up connection projections of soft material, e.g. tin-lead, on the semiconductor body, such as are customary, in flip-chip contactings, without the danger of short circuits during the contacting operation.
In a preferred embodiment form of the invention, the bumps or projections and outer contacts are constructed as raised regions from the material of the contact fingers. In this way the entire intermediate member or, respectively, the metallic structure of the intermediate member can be produced in one piece. Preferably in this case, the projections and outer contacts have double the thickness of the remaining regions of the contact fingers.
In a further refinement of the invention at least those regions of the contact fingers bordering on the projections are provided with a solder repelling surface. Therefore it is possible to apply solder in a defined manner in the region of the projections. In addition, in the contacting of a semiconductor body, the flowing-away of solder is prevented and thus the danger of short circuits is further diminished.
For facilitating the contacting of a semiconductor body and for easier further wiring, the projections and the outer contacts can be covered with an easily contactable surface layer. Preferably the surface layer consists here of tin, tin-lead, or gold.
The construction of the inner contacts as raised projections can be realized especially advantageously and without particular expense in the etching technique production of purely metallic intermediate members. The invention also describes a process for the production of purely metallic intermediate members in which a first etching resistant layer with the positive image of the entire intermediate member is applied on one side of a carrier sheet. A second etching resistant layer with the positive image of the projections and of the outer contacts is applied on the opposite side. The intermediate member is then constructed out of the carrier sheet by etching both sides. By means of the cited process, it is possible, with a minimum number of work steps, to concurrently produce the projections during the etching technique production of the intermediate members. Since, during the two-sided etching the entire structure of the intermediate member is uncovered on top, and only the projections and the outer contacts are uncovered on the bottom, the cross-section of the contact fingers is decreased to half the original thickness, so that the projections and the outer contacts remain as raised zones.
In a first embodiment of the above described process, etching masks are applied as the first and second etching resistant layers. The etching masks are removed after the etching. In this way known photolithographic processes can be employed for the structure production. After removal of the etching masks, the projections and the opposite surfaces of the contact fingers can be covered with an easily contactable surface layer.
In a second embodiment of the above described process an easily contactable surface layer is applied, by galvanic metal deposition, as first and second etching resistant layers. In the process, the galvanic masks necessary for structuring can again be produced by known photolithographic processes.
In both embodiment forms of the process for the production of metallic intermediate members, at least the regions of the contact fingers adjacent to the projections are provided with a solder repelling surface, preferably after the etching. Therefore the flowing away of solder is later prevented and a selective metal deposition becomes possible.
FIG. 1 illustrates in plan view an intermediate member whose inner contacts are embodied as raised projections;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line II--II of FIG. 1 but with a semiconductor body in contact;
FIGS. 3 to 6 are side views illustrating preferred process steps for the production of the intermediate member represented in FIGS. 1 and 2; and
FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate other preferred processes for the production of the intermediate member represented in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIGS. 2 to 8 represent sectional views in which, for better illustration, the material thicknesses have been expanded. In all the figures, components corresponding to one another are provided with the same reference numbers.
FIG. 1 illustrates in plan view a cut out of a sheet metal band out of which the structures of several connected intermediate members or subcarriers have been etched. The illustrated intermediate member includes an outer frame 10 on which, for example, a total of fourteen outer contacts 11 are suspended. Starting from each outer contact 11 a contact finger 12 projects into the frame interior. At the inner end of the contact fingers 12 there is in each case an inner contact arranged, which is embodied as a raised bump or projection 13. As shown in sectional view of FIG. 2, the contact fingers 12 are etched away in the region between the projections 13 and the outer contacts 11, to half the original thickness so that the projections 13 and the outer contacts 11 form raised regions. The outer contacts 11, the projections 13, and the opposite surface of the intermediate member are covered with an easily contactable surface layer 21, 22, or 23, respectively, while the etched regions are provided with a solder repelling surface 31 or 32, respectively. In the contacting of a semiconductor body 4 whose electrodes are only provided with a contactable layer 41 of small thickness, the solder repelling surface 31 and 32 prevents the flowing away of solder or of contactable material. After the contacting operation, the outer contacts 11 can then be connected to the inner connection legs of a metallic system carrier, or also be directly contacted with the corresponding terminals of a film circuit or of a printed circuit. Subsequently the outer frame 10 necessary for manipulation is separated away.
In a first inventive process for the production of the intermediate member or subcarrier represented in FIGS. 1 and 2, the starting point is, in accordance with FIG. 3, a carrier sheet 1 which may also be provided in the form of a band. An upper photolacquer layer 5 or, respectively, a lower photolacquer layer 6 is then applied onto the surfaces of this carrier sheet 1, which consists, for example, of copper, and is exposed in such a way that etching masks 50 or 60 are formed in accordance with FIG. 4 after the developing. The etching mask 50 covers the entire surface of the later formed structure of the intermediate member while the etching mask 60 covers the regions of the projections and the outer contacts. The intervening regions of the contact fingers are left unexposed. During the subsequent two-sided etching attack, the structure of the intermediate member with the outer contacts 11, the contact fingers 12, and the projections 13 is thus formed. The contact fingers 12, which are subjected to a one-side etching attack, are thinned out to half the thickness of the remaining regions. Copper chloride or an ammoniacal sodium chlorite etching solution, for example, are suitable etching agents. Immediately after the etching, the exposed etched surfaces are passivated so that the solder repelling surfaces 31 or 32, respectively, are formed. The passivation can be performed, for example, by immersion in an aqueous liver of sulphur solution. In a liver of sulphur solution with about 2.5 g of liver of sulphur per liter of tap water, a lasting solder repelling copper sulfide layer is formed on the exposed surfaces after, for example, about five minutes. After the passivation, the etching masks 50 and 60 are removed so that the completed intermediate member according to FIG. 5 remains. Then, according to FIG. 6, if the surface is not suitable for contacting in this condition, an easily contactable surface layer, consisting for example of tin, tin-lead, or gold, can still be applied, namely as layers 21, 22 and 23. The application of the surface layer can be done, for example, by currentless or galvanic metal deposition or by means of hot tin-plating, with the solder repelling regions 31 and 32 remaining uncovered.
In a second embodiment of a process for the production of the intermediate member represented in FIGS. 1 and 2, the photolacquer layers 5 and 6 illustrated in FIG. 1 are exposed in such a way that, after the developing, galvanic masks 51 or 61 are formed in accordance with FIG. 7. As is represented in FIG. 8, the surface layers 21, 22 and 23 consisting of tin or tin-lead are applied by galvanic metal deposition, and the galvanic masks 51 and 61 are removed. In a subsequent selective etching operation with two-sided etching attack, which can, for example, again be carried in an ammoniacal sodium chlorite etching solution, the intermediate member illustrated in FIG. 6 is then formed. If this intermediate member is immersed in an aqueous liver of sulphur solution, then a sulphur repelling copper sulfide layer forms on the regions 31 and 32 represented in FIG. 5, while the surface regions consisting of tin or tin-lead are not altered by the liver of sulphur solution.
Although various minor modifications may be suggested by those versed in the art, it should be understood that I wish to embody within the scope of the patent warranted hereon, all such embodiments as reasonably and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.

In "Choruses from 'The Rock'", T.S. Eliot wrote:
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
Eliot's quote resonates today. It illustrates that the need to distinguish among information, knowledge and wisdom is as relevant and timeless as ever. The advent of the internet has only amplified this a thousand by a thousand by a thousand times.
The internet will surely be known as one of the seminal inventions in human history. Its transformative effect on how we work, how we access information, how we communicate, and how we relate to one another is reshaping society in almost every facet. It is democratizing knowledge and revolutionizing how people conceive and describe the world to an even greater extent than the printing press did in the 1400s.
The great revolution is not, however, in technology itself, but, as Alan November reminds us, it is in access to information. Research has never been easier, information never more accessible than it is today, and yet, the easiness of the means may loosen the ends. As powerful as the internet is, our point and click proclivity tempts us into superficially gleaning bite-sized pieces of information as we search and surf. But searching is not knowing. Too infrequently we stop to make sense of what we look up, to question its assumptions, to understand how it fits within a larger context, or in contrast to other salient points of view. In short, we have information in abundance and, at best, the most dubious of claims to knowledge let alone wisdom.
The quick-twitch nature of internet-based research can, if left undisciplined, lead to the shallow aggregation of information absent any meaningful analysis. The primacy of the internet, if anything, only serves to heighten the need for critical thinking, for filtering the meaningful from the superficial, the signal from the noise. The critical thinking skills involved in assessing the quality, validity and reliability of information, to seek out alternative viewpoints and to arrive at an informed perspective have never been more critical, never more important to the constitution of a well-educated person than they are today.
The growth of massive search engines also adds to the premium on critical thinking. The development of predictive analytics – web sites tailoring your searches to other similarly predicted areas of interest – can narrow focus and increase myopia. Each additional search on the same subject hastens a cycle of informational bias and reinforcement. At the same time, the objectivity of some information is compromised. The possibility now exists for two people to conduct the same inquiry through a search engine and receive different answers. Are search engines creating a form of informational relativism?
These are exciting times in education. This past weekend, twenty-five Mulgrave teachers attended the Google Apps for Education (GAFE) summit held at our school. It was a cutting edge experience where teachers learned practical tools such as Google Lit Trips (tracing the routes that famous literary characters travelled) and Google Cultural Institute (virtual tours of museums and archives from around the world). If we can prioritize the thinking skills to leverage these tools for their maximum benefit, then we will have laid the potential for great learning.
This is where the IB, with its central focus on Approaches to Learning (ATL) Skills, is integral to our students' education. The five skill domains – thinking, communicating, self-management, research and social - transfer across subjects and enable students to move from having information to using it in knowledgeable ways to understanding the world around them. This is a skills framework for which the Advanced Placement (AP) program has no equivalent. It is a core element to what makes IB students attractive to universities and what underwrites their track record of success after high school.
The internet has changed the world; it will continue to change it for ages and ages hence. What remains constant is the need to think, to reason, to communicate and to process, now more than ever. An educated person will not simply be one who has a lot of information because anyone can have a lot of information. An educated person will be one who understands how they know what they know. An educated person will not lose their understanding in knowledge, nor lose their knowledge in information. They will know the life in living.

Fruits Of Export Growth Not Equally Shared
BMI View : While Indian vehicle exports registered strong growth in August 2013 on the back of the weak Indian rupee, we highlight that only certain segments are enjoying this windfall and automakers need to continue targeting new markets to sustain their export growth momentum. A failure by the government to expand its state ports in a timely manner could see this recent surge in exports peter out.
We have highlighted for a while that India's auto sector needs to boost its vehicle exports to cash in on the weak rupee at a time when the domestic market remains in the doldrums ( see 'Exports Will Be Crucial For Maruti To Combat Weak Rupee', July 31). On the surface, it does seem as though the industry is finally getting some respite from depressed domestic demand with total vehicle exports (includes two and three-wheeler exports) in August rising to an all-time high of 288,866 units, a gain of 24.9% year-on-year (y-o-y).
|Gains Not Evenly Distributed Across Segments
|India - Total Industry Auto Exports, Units (LHS); % Chg y-o-y (RHS)
Although the solid export figures in August show that the sector is finally getting its act together, we caution against jumping to the conclusion that all is well among local manufacturers. In this piece, we illustrate the divergent export fortunes among segments and how certain firms have benefited more than others.
Motorcycle Exports Erratic But Smaller Players Outperforming
Two-wheeler (includes motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and scooterettes) export growth has been erratic in the past few months due to motorcycle export growth (the largest segment) oscillating between positive and negative values. That said, August motorcycle exports registered an impressive rise of 24.1% y-o-y, to 187,309 units and we believe manufacturers could build on this positive momentum in the coming months.
Furthermore, anecdotal evidence suggests that the smaller two-wheeler players have been able to grow their exports faster, partly due to a lower base. For example, TVS Motor saw its exports rise 47.0% y-o-y in September, to 27,577 units. Two-wheeler firms have been diversifying into Latin American and African markets and we expect them to continue relying on these markets to boost overseas sales.
|Better Times Ahead
|India - Motorcycle Exports, Units (LHS); % Chg y-o-y (RHS)
PV Segment Greater Beneficiary Of Weak Rupee
While growth in passenger vehicle (PV) exports lagged commercial vehicle (CV) export growth from late 2009 to early 2013, the trend has recently turned in favour of the PV segment as the accompanying chart shows. The PV segment, which includes passenger cars, utility vehicles and vans, has been better able to capitalise on the recent bout of local currency weakness and boost its exports versus the CV segment, whose exports remain in a slump.
|CV Exports Clearly Not Seeing Weak Rupee Benefit
|India - Passenger Vehicle And CV Exports (LHS); Export Growth, % (RHS)
That said, we believe more needs to be done by automakers to boost their exports. While total industry export figures for September are still unavailable, individual company releases show that besides the 180.8% y-o-y surge in Maruti Suzuki's exports, to 14,565 units, most automakers have seen their exports contract on a y-o-y basis. One reason for this could be the strong European focus (a region that is still struggling) of the car industry's exports, leading us to believe that exporters need to target alternative markets to see sustained growth.
Ports Expansion Cutback Threatens Export Growth
One risk we see to exports is the recent plan by the Indian government to curtail the expansion of some of its state ports such as Chennai Port, due to pressure from ratings agencies to rein in the budget deficit. We have highlighted that while a lot of local manufacturers have spare capacity due to weak domestic demand, they are not able to boost exports in the face of structural bottlenecks ( see 'Addressing Structural Bottlenecks Key To Exports Boom', September 26). A failure to expand vital infrastructure could see the sector squandering away the advantage of a more competitive currency.
