Best Uses
- Herbs
- Small veggies
A great way of utilizing a sunny spot in the garden without all the digging. Veggies are growing nicely. Like both of the covers, although would be nice if you could see through them. Very few tools required to build but makes sure you watch the you tube video BEFORE you build. The paper instructions are not clear on the fine adjustments you need to make. Had to disassemble the end pieces to readjust the legs. Also be careful with the force you use to insert the screws....the wood splits easily. Other than that, it is very convenient way of growing vegetables when you don't have space.

I was able to put this together myself in a little over an hour. It fits nicely on my smaller deck. The covers have come in handy. We had a cold snap so I put the protective cover on and when I removed it the next afternoon my lettuce had come up.
The only thing I could suggest improvement of would be adding velcro to the corners to make it truly bug proof.

Best Uses
I got this for vegetables so that I don't have to bend down, the height of the table is good, but as the vegetables grow, you cannot use the netting to keep bugs out as it restricts growth. Also the netting is not a tight fit, so you have gaps where the bugs get in and attack your plants. I suggest some type of elastic for around the base of the net. This certainly beats kneeling on the ground, so this gets my thumbs up!

I have been hesitant to spend this kind of cash on nail polish, but this has won me over. I put it on Tuesday (with Zoya's Anchor and Armor) and it is now Sunday and I have no chips and no tip wear to speak of either – it still looks freshly applied. Zoya polish usually has noticeable tip wear on me by this point, and other polishes rarely last past 3 days without chipping, so I'm seriously impressed, especially since it's black.
It's a pretty black with evenly distrubuted silver sparkles, and mine had a few random holographic sparkles in it too, it seemed. Love this!

It is a beautiful black shade, the silver sparkle looks wonderful under the light. It applies evenly and smoothly, without any streaks. You only need two coats for full coverage. It has a glossy finish and lasts a lot on me, about a week without chipping. I love the formula and the color so I totally recommend it if you are looking for a "special" nail varnish.

Illamasqua Creator Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "magical black." It's safe to say that's a very apt description; it's a gorgeous deep, dark black cream with large silver sparkles–that seem to be in an almost rectangular shape. NARS Night Breed is very nearly the same–I really can't tell the difference. China Glaze Tinsel town has a lot more silver sparkle/glitter, so it looks more like a silver glitter with a black base than black with silver shimmer/sparkle.

I thought it was an early stoppage too.
I thought it was an early stoppage too.
It may have been a bit early, but I would rather ref's were early on a stoppage then late. Mir got blasted, went limp, and was about to eat a lot of punishment. Was he right out? Could he have recovered? Maybe, but I think the odds of him just eating punishment are a lot higher.
and RH is 115% right with his response to Mir's version of history.
I think he definitely got rocked and went down because his legs turned to rubber momentarily, but I wouldn't consider that a flash KO. It didn't seem like he lost consciousness. Plus the ref didn't even give him a chance to see if he could defend himself intelligently, because he jumped in to stop it as soon as that knee landed. But I understand it is a matter of opinion and I can see both sides of the argument (better safe than sorry and whatnot).
Despite all that... it was actually very fun to watch.
So Mir/Overeem or Barnett/Overeem?
I thought the stoppage was fine.
The more I watch that .gif, the more I think the stoppage was fine. Watch the way Frank's head whips around on his way, and the way he hits the canvas like a wet noodle.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
I think it was a little early but like everyone else has said the eventual outcome would have been the same. One would think after all these years Mir would try to touch up on his clinch fighting, he's not a small guy but allows himself to be bullied up against the cage as if he weighed 215. I think his overall wrestling and TDD has improved over the last couple years but being on his back is not really a big problem for Mir, its the clinch against the cage. Carwin crushed him there, DC had his way with him on the fence, and now Barnett finishes him in the clinch. Dude needs to work some grecko!!!
Bow down before me as you will surely fall if you challenge me
It was not bad, maybe a couple of seconds early, but nothing special at all.
We've seen thousands of stoppages much worse than this one, and anyway Barnett was clearly winning the fight.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
As far as I'm concerned, the ref saved mir from a big beating. He looked pretty helpless to me, until Barnett got his giant self off of him.

Lions Slip Past Hawks in AMCC Play
- Release Date:
- April 15, 2010

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Erie, PA: The Hilbert softball team dropped two conference games to Penn State Behrend on Tuesday, April 13. The 5-0 loss in game one and 4-1 loss in game two, slip the Hawks to 2-6 in the AMCC.
In game one, strong defense by both teams was the name of the game as the scoreboard remained blank for five innings. The sixth inning provided the most action of the game as Behrend registered five runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 5-0 lead which would eventually result in a win for the Lions. Freshman duo Jill Martucci (Hamburg, NY/ Hamburg), Emili Ripley (Batavia, NY/ Notre Dame Catholic) and sophomore Halsey Baker (Scio, NY/ Scio) generated the only hits for Hilbert in the defeat.
Behrend jumped on the board first in game two as they racked up three runs in the bottom of the second inning. Hilbert would answer back in the top of the seventh as Rachel Parker (Hamburg, NY/ Hamburg) started off the inning with a single. Baker earned her fifth double of the season and sixteenth RBI sending Melissa Radder (Cheektowaga, NY/ Sacred Heart) home to put one on the scoreboard for the Hawks. Rebecca Sutton (Eden, NY/ Eden) would earn the final out of the inning after grounding out to first base. Hilbert fell short 4-1 suffering their second loss of the day.
Hilbert has a three game home stand as they face Penn State Altoona and Franciscan University on April 17 and 18 followed by Pitt-Bradford on Wednesday, April 21.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

A migraine is a type of headache. It may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head.
Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. An aura is a group of symptoms, including vision changes. An aura is a warning sign that a bad headache is coming.
Headache - migraine
A migraine headache is caused by abnormal brain activity. This activity can be triggered by many things. But the exact chain of events remains unclear. Most medical experts believe the attack begins in the brain and involves nerve pathways and chemicals. The changes affect blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissues.
Migraine headaches tend to first appear between the ages of 10 and 45. Sometimes, they begin later in life. Migraines may run in families. Migraines occur more often in women than men. Some women, but not all, may have fewer migraines when they are pregnant.
Migraine attacks may be triggered by:
Migraines can also be triggered by certain foods. Most common are:
True migraine headaches are not a result of a brain tumor or other serious medical problem. Only a health care provider who specializes in headaches can determine if your symptoms are due to a migraine or other condition.
Vision disturbances, or aura, are considered a warning sign that a migraine is coming. The aura occurs in both eyes and may involve any or all of the following:
Other warning signs include yawning, difficulty concentrating, nausea, and trouble finding the right words.
Not every person with migraines has an aura. Those who do usually develop one about 10 to 15 minutes before the headache. But an aura can occur just a few minutes to 24 hours beforehand. A headache may not always follow an aura.
The headaches usually:
Other symptoms that may occur with the headache include:
Symptoms may linger, even after the migraine goes away. This is called a migraine hangover. Symptoms can include:
Your doctor can diagnose migraine headache by asking about your symptoms and family history of migraines. A complete physical exam will be done to determine if your headaches are due to muscle tension, sinus problems, or a brain disorder.
There is no specific test to prove that your headache is actually a migraine. Your doctor may order a
An EEG may be needed to rule out seizures. A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) might be done.
There is no specific cure for migraine headaches. The goal is to treat your migraine symptoms right away, and to prevent symptoms by avoiding or changing your triggers.
A key step is learning how to manage your migraines at home. A headache diary can help you identify your headache triggers. Then you and your doctor can plan how to avoid these triggers.
If you have frequent migraines, your doctor may prescribe medicine to reduce the number of attacks. You need to take the medicine every day for it to be effective. Medicines may include:
Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) injections may also help reduce migraine attacks if they occur more than 15 days a month.
Other medicines are taken at the first sign of a migraine attack. Over-the-counter pain medicines, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin are often helpful when your migraine is mild. Be aware that:
If these treatments do not help, ask your doctor about prescription medicines. These include nasal sprays, suppositories, or injections.
Some migraine medicines narrow the blood vessels. If you are at risk of heart attack or have heart disease, talk with your doctor before using these medicines. Some migraine medicines should not be used by pregnant women. Talk with your doctor about which medicine is right for you if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Other medicines treat symptoms of migraine, such as nausea and vomiting. They may be used alone or along with the other drugs that treat the migraine itself.
Feverfew is an herb for migraines. It can be effective for some people. Before using feverfew, make sure your doctor approves. Herbal remedies sold in drugstores and health food stores are not regulated. Work with a trained herbalist when selecting herbs.
American Headache Society - www.achenet.org
The National Migraine Association - www.migraines.org
National Headache Foundation - www.headaches.org
Each person responds differently to treatment. Some people have migraines only rarely and need little to no treatment. Others need to take several medicines or even go to the hospital sometimes.
Migraine headache is a risk factor for stroke. Risk is higher in people who have migraines that occur with aura. People with migraines should avoid other risk factors for stroke. These include smoking, taking birth control pills, and eating unhealthy foods.

Apple now taking pre-orders for iPad mini, iPad 4, did you get yours?
As expected, at midnight Pacific Time, Apple began accepting pre-orders for the iPad mini and the iPad 4 via their online store. Initial stock often gets sold out quickly, so if you want an iPad mini or iPad 4, and want it to arrive at your door on launch day, hurry on over and secure it now.
And once you have, come on back here and let me know which one you bought, in which color, what capacity, and for which carrier (if you went cellular).
Wi-Fi models come out on November 2, with cellular models hitting a couple of weeks thereafter. If you're having trouble deciding which iPad mini or iPad 4 to get, check out our newly updated buyers guide:

Apple now taking pre-orders for iPad mini, iPad 4, did you get yours?
Ordered right at 3 AM. 16 GB Wifi iPad 4 and it was a smooth transaction.
Maybe next year we can ask Siri to order one for us, now THAT would be a virtual assistant :)
Orders placed, early Christmas for me and the wife! 16G white and black, wifi + cellular
I got the 64GB Black Wifi+LTE ATT.
I have an iPhone 5 64gb with Verizon. Sold my iPad 3 before iPad 4 launch. I will wait till iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 with Retina display. Probably will happen now in 6 months. Till then I will chill with MacBook Pro and my iPhone 5. Patience is Golden. Why get an iPad mini without Retina? I really like both models sizes but all the cool features are being held back.
Got mine but noticed that my card was charged twice!! Other people may want to double check!
Apple's website is now down.....getting a Safari message about too many redirects......
5 x 16BG Black Wifi IPad Mini.
Christmas is done.
iPad 4th-gen White 64GB Wi-Fi! Ummm... White Wi-Fi iPad 64GB 4th-gen? Or should it be White 64GB 4th-gen Wi-Fi iPad?
You get the picture. ;D
I Pick Up An iPad Mini, White, 32GB, Wifi Only, At 6:30 And They Still Had Stock.
In the UK currently 32GB Black are still available for launch day (12:15pm) but 32GB White are on 2 week delivery since before 9 am this morning when I ordered mine.
Anyone know if launch day stock through the app is pooled worldwide, or pre-allocated to different countries?
Did anyone notice that it takes 2 weeks to ship the white ipad mini? Looks like only the black will be delivered Nov 2.
Coming are:
2 iPad mini 64GB AT&T, one black, one white
1 iPad 4 64GB AT&T, black
Various accessories
Deliveries are indicated in "mid-November" but accessories sooner.
Got a White 32Gb WiFi iPad 4 Delivery on the 2nd
I got an iPad mini Black 64GB WiFI at 3:05 delivery date 11/2
Bought the 16gb white and slate wifi iPad mini on my iphone's apple app store app. It was up before the site on my computer actually. Right at 3:01 on the dot.
I got a 16gb black WiFi iPad Mini for my Son. He is going to be thrilled on his birthday later in November.
I got a 16gb black WiFi iPad Mini for my Son. He is going to be thrilled on his birthday later in November.
Nope --- waiting for the inevitable retina version next year. I can't possibly downgrade the resolution after working on iPad 3 and iPhone 5.
Nope - I'm waiting for you to post details on a giveaway contest. :P
I've pre-ordered a black mini 64MB + Cellular. To prevent Apple from going south because of too little sales volume, I've ordered a red smart cover, 12W power supply, Lightning SD adapter, Lightning USB cable and Lightning micro USB adapter on top of that.
Now I'd like to go into cryostasis until "the end of November" :-(
Oh, about the shop? No issues!
I am upgrading from the iPad 2 to the iPad 4 Retina Display...i was going to buy the iPad Mini, but in all honesty, there isnt much difference between it and the iPad 2, but size. So i figured id go with the A6X processor and better cameras then an A5. So with that said iPad 4 Retina 64GB White...arrives Nov 2.
If they had released an 8 GB iPad mini for $249-$279 I would have jizzed my pants. My company gave me a 13 inch MacBook Air and an iPad 2, and I have an iPhone 5 for personal use. With that many Apple devices, I can't justify spending more than $300 on another one that I really don't need, but at a lower price point I could have justified it for the added portability. I typically only install about 20 apps on my devices and I have my iPhone for music and picture taking, so I don't really need more than 8 GB. Even with 8 GB, I could load a couple movies for a flight.
Stayed up for the AWESOME Virtual Pajama Party pre-launch event, and we all ordered our Minis the second the clock struck midnight Pacific Time. Got a white 32GB version. Delivery guaranteed for Nov. 2nd. Then I wake up later this morning and these are the headlines:
"Interestingly, Apple seems to have run out of white iPad minis. However, at the time of writing, black Minis still ship by Nov. 2. What makes this somewhat surprising is that people told us —in our totally unscientific Poll— they'd get black almost 2-to-1 over white. That would seem to imply Apple made fewer white ones, perhaps underestimating demand."
I am SO GLAD I stayed up, and I probably wouldn't have done it if not for iMore. Thanks iMore!
I ordered a 64 gig white iPad 4. Upgrading from my iPad 2, which my husband is getting.
I had an Apple iPad 3rd Generation 16GB Wifi Only and was so pissed and caught off guard when the iPad 4 was announced esp w/ Lightning (to consolidate cables w my iPhone 5) and the A6X processor. I sold my iPad 3 for $350 and ordered the iPad 4 w/ same configuration. I'll get it next Friday (11/2).
16g Black iPad mini over here
I swore I wasn't going to get one. No Retina display. Already have a 7" tablet I like. Lot of money for what you get. Already have a iPad (original with 3G). Just spent the money on 64GB iPhone5. And I just plain didn't need it.
Of course I just threw all logic out the window and ordered a black 32GB wifi-only mini with a dark grey cover. Damn it all to hell!!!!!!
Ordered a 16gig black Verizon. I had to call about the order for something and they told me Nov 23rd. She said that is for right now. Could change if the black sell out.
Placed an order in the Italian Apple's website: bought IPad mini white 16g WI-FI only. Waiting for the 2 weeks delivery
do you want to get yours? do not forget to buy a case for it. i purchased my "castle" via http://www.eva-product.com/Kids-friendly-iPad-3-Foam-Case-with-Big-holdi...

I need some rational advice. I am 12 weeks postpardum
First, like most of us, I was pretty traumatized by preE and the delivery, etc. My pressures remained high for a good 4 weeks. A week after I delivered, I saw my ob for a quick followup to my pressures. He told me, "see you at 6 weeks". Well with everything (trauma, difficult baby, other depression that went along with this baby) I never made it in to followup.
Is it too late to go in? I so want my medical records, especially the pathology report on that placenta.
About going in, I do need to discuss pregnancy prevention. I am nursing, and my husband said he wants another baby pretty quick. I have 3 children already. Seriously what is he thinking?
Also, does anyone recommend getting my medical records from the hospital or is it really a waste? Anyone gain insight from them? Or is it just peace of mind?

No. 11/391,895, filed Mar. 28, 2006, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,271,603, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/445,174, filed May 23, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,057,404.
The present invention relates to probe measurement systems for measuring the electrical characteristics of integrated circuits or other microelectronic devices at high frequencies.
There are many types of probing assemblies that have been developed for the measurement of integrated circuits and other forms of microelectronic devices. One representative type of assembly uses a circuit card on which the upper side are formed elongate conductive traces that serve as signal and ground lines. A central opening is formed in the card, and a needle-like probe tip is attached to the end of each signal trace adjacent the opening so that a radially extending array of downwardly converging needle-like tips is presented by the assembly for selective connection with the closely spaced pads of the microelectronic device being tested. A probe assembly of this type is shown, for example, in Harmon U.S. Pat. No. 3,445,770. This type of probing assembly, however, is unsuitable for use at higher frequencies, including microwave frequencies in the gigahertz range, because at such frequencies the needle-like tips act as inductive elements and because there are no adjoining elements present to suitably counteract this inductance with a capacitive effect in a manner that would create a broadband characteristic of more or less resistive effect. Accordingly, a probing assembly of the type just described is unsuitable for use at microwave frequencies due to the high levels of signal reflection and substantial inductive losses that occur at the needle-like probe tips.
In order to obtain device measurements at somewhat higher frequencies than are possible with the basic probe card system described above, various related probing systems have been developed. Such systems are shown, for example, in Evans U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,728; Kikuchi Japanese Publication No. 1-209,380; Sang et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,749,942; Lao et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,593,243; and Shahriary U.S. Pat. No. 4,727,319. Yet another related system is shown in Kawanabe Japanese Publication No. 60-223,138 which describes a probe assembly having needle-like tips where the tips extend from a coaxial cable-like structure instead of a probe card. A common feature of each of these systems is that the length of the isolated portion of each needle-like probe tip is limited to the region immediately surrounding the device-under-test in order to minimize the region of discontinuity and the amount of inductive loss. However, this approach has resulted in only limited improvement in higher frequency performance due to various practical limitations in the construction of these types of probes. In Lao et al., for example, the length of each needle-like tip is minimized by using a wide conductive blade to span the distance between each tip and the supporting probe card, and these blades, in turn, are designed to be arranged relative to each other so as to form transmission line structures of stripline type. As a practical matter, however, it is difficult to join the thin vertical edge of each blade to the corresponding trace on the card while maintaining precisely the appropriate amount of face-to-face spacing between the blades and precisely the correct pitch between the ends of the needle-like probe tips.
One type of probing assembly that is capable of providing a controlled-impedance low-loss path between its input terminal and the probe tips is shown in Lockwood et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,697,143. In Lockwood et al., a ground-signal-ground arrangement of strip-like conductive traces is formed on the underside of an alumina substrate so as to form a coplanar transmission line on the substrate. At one end, each associated pair of ground traces and the corresponding interposed signal trace are connected to the outer conductor and the center conductor, respectively, of a coaxial cable connector. At the other end of these traces, areas of wear-resistant conductive material are provided in order to reliably establish electrical connection with the respective pads of the device to be tested. Layers of ferrite-containing microwave absorbing material are mounted about the substrate to absorb spurious microwave energy over a major portion of the length of each ground-signal-ground trace pattern. In accordance with this type of construction, a controlled high-frequency impedance (e.g., 50 ohms) can be presented at the probe tips to the device under test, and broadband signals that are within the range, for example, of DC to 18 gigahertz can travel with little loss from one end of the probe assembly to another along the coplanar transmission line formed by each ground-signal-ground trace pattern. The probing assembly shown in Lockwood et al. fails to provide satisfactory electrical performance at higher microwave frequencies and there is a need in microwave probing technology for compliance to adjust for uneven probing pads.
To achieve improved spatial conformance between the tip conductors of a probe and an array of non-planar device pads or surfaces, several high-frequency probing assemblies have been developed. Such assemblies are described, for example, in Drake et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,612; Coberly et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,116,523; and Boll et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,871,964. The Drake et al. probing assembly includes a substrate on the underside of which are formed a plurality of conductive traces which collectively form a coplanar transmission line. However, in one embodiment shown in Drake et al., the tip end of the substrate is notched so that each trace extends to the end of a separate tooth and the substrate is made of moderately flexible nonceramic material. The moderately flexible substrate permits, at least to a limited extent, independent flexure of each tooth relative to the other teeth so as to enable spatial conformance of the trace ends to slightly non-planar contact surfaces on a device-under-test. However, the Drake et al. probing assembly has insufficient performance at high frequencies.
With respect to the probing assembly shown in Boll et al., as cited above, the ground conductors comprise a pair of leaf-spring members the rear portions of which are received into diametrically opposite slots formed on the end of a miniature coaxial cable for electrical connection with the cylindrical outer conductor of that cable. The center conductor of the cable is extended beyond the end of the cable (i.e., as defined by the ends of the outer conductor and the inner dielectric) and is gradually tapered to form a pin-like member having a rounded point. In accordance with this construction, the pin-like extension of the center conductor is disposed in spaced apart generally centered position between the respective forward portions of the leaf-spring members and thereby forms, in combination with these leaf-spring members, a rough approximation to a ground-signal-ground coplanar transmission line structure. The advantage of this particular construction is that the pin-like extension of the cable's center conductor and the respective forward portions of the leaf-spring members are each movable independently of each other so that the ends of these respective members are able to establish spatially conforming contact with any non-planar contact areas on a device being tested. On the other hand, the transverse-spacing between the pin-like member and the respective leaf-spring members will vary depending on how forcefully the ends of these members are urged against the contact pads of the device-under-test. In other words, the transmission characteristic of this probing structure, which is dependent on the spacing between the respective tip members, will vary in an ill-defined manner during each probing cycle, especially at high microwave frequencies.
Burr et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,788, disclose a microwave probe that includes a supporting section of a coaxial cable including an inner conductor coaxially surrounded by an outer conductor. A tip section of the microwave probe includes a central signal conductor and one or more ground conductors generally arranged normally in parallel relationship to each other along a common plane with the central signal conductor so as to form a controlled impedance structure. The signal conductor is electrically connected to the inner conductor and the ground conductors are electrically connected to the outer conductor, as shown in
In another embodiment, Burr et al. disclose a microwave probe that includes a supporting section of a coaxial cable including an inner conductor coaxially surrounded by an outer conductor, as shown in
The foregoing and other objectives, features, and advantages of the invention will be more readily understood upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The present inventors considered the co-planar fingered probing devices disclosed by Burr et al., including the co-planar finger configuration and the microstrip configuration with fingers extending therefrom. In both cases, electromagnetic fields are created during probing between the fingers. These electromagnetic fields encircle each of the fingers, electrically couple the signal finger to the ground fingers, and electrically couple the ground fingers one another. While the probing device is being used for probing, the resulting electromagnetic fields surrounding the fingers interact with the wafer environment. While probing in different regions of the wafer, the interaction between the electromagnetic fields around the fingers and the wafer change, typically in an unknown manner. With a significant unknown change in the interaction it is difficult, if not impossible, to accurately calibrate out the environmental conditions while probing a device under test.
When multiple probes are being simultaneously used for probing the same area of the wafer, the probe tips come into close proximity with one another and result in additional coupling between the probes, normally referred to as cross-talk. In addition, the region between the support for the fingers, such as a dielectric substrate, and the extended portion of the fingers results in a significant capacitance, which impedes high frequency measurements.
The present inventors were surprised to determine that the microstrip structure disclosed by Burr et al. further does not calibrate well on calibration test substrates at very high frequencies, such as in excess of 70 GHz. This calibration is independent of potential interaction with a wafer at a later time during actual probing of a device under test. After examination of this unexpected non-calibration effect the present inventors speculate that an energy is created in an "undesired mode", other than the dominant field modes, at such extreme frequencies. This "undesired mode" results in unexpected current leakages from the signal path thus degrading the signal integrity. The present inventors further speculate that this "undesired mode" involves resonating energy in the ground plane as a result of discontinuities in the ground path, including for example, the connection between the ground plane and the external portion of the cable, and the inductance in the ground plane. This ground plane resonant energy results in unpredictable changing of the energy in the signal path to the device under test, thus degrading performance. This degradation wasn't apparent at lower operating frequencies, so accordingly, there was no motivation to modify existing probe designs in order to eliminate or otherwise reduce its effects.
Referring to
A microstrip style probe tip 80 includes a dielectric substrate 88 that is affixed to the end of the coaxial cable 40. The underside of the cable 40 is cut away to form a shelf 85, and the dielectric substrate 88 is affixed to the shelf 85. Alternatively, the dielectric substrate 88 may be supported by an upwardly facing shelf cut away from the cable or the end of the cable without a shelf. Referring also to
One or more conductive signal traces 92 are supported by the upper surface of the substrate 88. The conductive traces 92, may be for example, deposited using any technique or otherwise supported by the upper surface of the substrate. The conductive trace(s) 92 is electrically interconnected to the inner conductor 41 of the coaxial cable 40. The inner conductor 41 of the coaxial cable 40 and the conductive trace(s) 92 normally carries the signal to and from the device under test. The conductive trace(s) 92 together with the shield layer 90 separated by a dielectric material 88 form one type of a microstrip transmission structure. Other layers above, below, and/or between the shield layer 90 and the conductive trace 92 may be included, if desired.
To reduce the effects of the aforementioned unexpected high frequency signal degradation, the present inventors determined that the signal path may include a conductive via 94 passing through the substrate 88. The conductive via 94 provides a manner of transferring the signal path from the upper surface of the substrate to the lower surface of the substrate. The conductive via 94 avoids the need for using a conductive finger extending out from the end of the substrate 88 that would otherwise result in a significant capacitance between the extended finger and the end of the substrate 88. The conductive via 94 provides a path from one side of the substrate 88 to the other side of the substrate 88 in a manner free from an air gap between the conductive via 94 and the substrate 88 for at least a majority of the thickness of the substrate 88. In addition, the shield layer 90 preferably extends beyond the via 94 to provide additional shielding.
Referring also to
Referring to
The upper shield 10 has a tapered cylindrical portion whose forward end is a tapered tip and whose rear end has a contour that is in continuous contact with the outer coaxial conductor along its circumference so that there is no gap between the outer conductor and portions of the shield that could create fringing fields that could effect probe measurements. Likewise, any other shape may be used for the shield 110, as desired. In addition, the forward end preferably extends past the via and forms a substantially closed region so that there is reduced fringing fields at the forward end. The shield reduces parasitic coupling to any external structure and the construction of the shield as a single piece of metal reduces complexity of assembly. The shield is preferably made of a thin foil and is capable of being formed by a fabrication process. The shield may also be deposited or made of other material.
The lower shield member 90 extends underneath the conductive trace between the fingers and the chuck holding the device under test. The shield therefore helps to block the generation of ground plane resonant modes that can otherwise interfere with and degrade the signal from the device under test.
Referring to
While the use of an upper shield 110 that includes a curved surface provides an improvement to signal integrity, the changes in the structure of the upper shield tend to introduce some limitations into the signal integrity at high frequencies, thus impeding performance. For example, the changes in the height of the upper shield changes the electromagnetic field pattern along the length of the signal conductor. In addition, increased manufacturing complexity occurs with the upper shield. Furthermore, in most cases microwave microstrip transmission structures are enclosed in a housing, such as a conductive case, and accordingly there is reduced motivation to include an upper shield structure.
To further increase the performance at high frequencies the present inventors considered the effects of the substrate material. In many cases the dielectric constant of the dielectric substrate material is high, such as Al.sub.2O.sub.3 which has a 9.9 dielectric constant. Materials with a high dielectric constant have a tendency to concentrate the electromagnetic fields therein, thus decreasing the electromagnetic fields susceptible to influence by other devices. In addition, the thickness of the substrate is typically 250-500 microns to provide mechanical stability. Thus the fields tend to concentrate within the substrate.

text: Would you believe that lung cancer was a somewhat of a rare occurrence until the early to mid twentieth century? This fact is due to cigarettes gaining popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the UK, among all cancer deaths lung cancer related deaths rose from 1.5% in 1920 to 19.7% in 1947. Cigarettes aren't the only cause of lung cancer, there are many causes not associated with smoking, but one fact is true: Anything you light on fire and inhale isn't going to be good for you! Smoking causes the lungs to age at a greater rate than they would in the non-smoker. Among many of the ill effects smoking causes, lung cancer is one of the most well known. Most people don't think of heart disease when you mention the long-term health effects of cigarettes, even though it is a leading cause of this as well. One of the reasons it results in cancer is due to the long-term inflammation that is caused in the airways, which over time recurrent smoking tends to lead to increased cell turnover,... read more

Moeen is a perfectly fine bowler FFS
Yes - bounce, accuracy and inswing - not a good combination if you're trying to score quickly.
I just clicked on PEWS's link to the cricinfo pages on that Pakistan match. There's no mention at all of Botha's bowling or his amazing analysis, just a passing reference to one of his wickets. This is what I mean by no-one commenting on it.
I did manage to give him an honourable mention in the bowler of the tournament thread so at least the people who really count appreciated it.
Extremely useful player to have around though. Ireland don't have a very conventional team make-up. Botha will sometimes bowl two overs in an ODI then bat at 8. Ditto Alex Cusack, or even Kevin O'Brien if the batting lineup is particularly fluid. Other times they'll bowl their full ten and bat at three. If a "tail-ender" is in good form he'll often be given a shot up the order sooner rather than later. Essentially we often scrounge enough bits and pieces together to make up a decent total and 50 overs of solid bowling. It's not exactly through design but it's served us pretty well. Botha is exactly the type of player who makes such a system possible.
Hmm, yeah I think you may be right there. I wasn't sure whether he was just bowling badly.

Daily tip: How to navigate to contact addresses in Maps
Heading out to family and friends for the holidays and curious how to easily find their addresses in the iPhone, iPod touch, or Maps app? Well here is a great tip to make navigating a little bit easier, and we'll show it to you after the break!
If you are like me you don't memorize anyone's contact information anymore. You simply enter their phone number, email address, website, and address into your contacts list on your iPhone and then, whenever you need it, you just tap on it. Luckily Apple ties iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad Contacts into the other apps, like Maps!
First, if you haven't done so yet, make sure you've entered address information for the Contacts you will be visiting. Then:
- Open the Maps application
- Select Directions on the bottom menu
- Select the Start box and choose "Current Location"
- Select the End box and start typing in the contacts name
- Select the contact once it appears
- Let it load and click on Start at the top right
Bonus tip: If you're in Contacts, you can tap right on the address to switch to Maps and see where they're located.
Now you can be on the way to your destination without having to type in the address manually. Let us know if you plan to use this feature as you hit the roads this holiday season.
Daily tips will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to firstname.lastname@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward...)

Daily tip: How to navigate to contact addresses in Maps
Conversation with my coworker:
Coworker: The regular maps app doesn't talk to me.
Me: So that means you can't read a map?
Coworker: No I can't, and stfu.
Here's the tip for adding invitations in Calendar:
So I have Gokiva as my GPS app and I am very satisfied with it because it talks to me. If I have found a location on MAPS (say I select an address on YELP) is there a way to easily move it to Gokiva?
I noticed you mentioned how to start using current location. I like the fact that you can take long trips and get half way there. Hit edit then in the top bar hit "C" and it gives you the option for current location. Allowing you to change your location quickly from where you started to where you are currently. Which lets you see how far you have left in real time.
i swear every time i need something for my iphone its like this website just reads my mind and posts it
i was literaly just thinking about adding location to contacts yesterday
and i was about to google toda
but as i read my feeds i saw this :)
ops no wait this isnt what i was looking for actually
since tom tom already has this feature
what i wanted to know is how to add contact location ,,
the address system is stupid here in dubai ..
so i kinda want a method that depends on current location
I really like this one. Never new I was so easy to navigate to one of my contacts. Looking forward to the new tip ;)
This is a very interesting article. Thank you for this blog. Well made! You will find more informations on Lingerie de charme. There's everything all you can need!
I love my iPhone and I have used the map app on my last phone, but was disappointed when I was about to use the map app on my new iPhone. This app looks like the same app on my last phone except for the fact that it doesn't talk to you as your driving. You have to watch the screen ever now an then to make sure your traveling in the right direction. Where's the voice, am I missing something?

Sequined Dress
If you're going to Northgate or a fancy cocktail party you can't go wrong with a sequined dress on New Year's Eve!

Pull off sleek and sexy with black skinny jeans. (If you're really trendy, leather skinny jeans!)

or more sequins and heels for a night of bar hopping!
Little Black Dress
Every women's favorite outfit... the little black dress.

Comments about 15-Gauge 2 1/2 in. Angled Finish Nailer Kit:
I had the one pictured and liked it alot. What they sent is the newer model which is more rounded and lighter. No problem there, really. And lighter is a good thing. But it was a bit startling to open the case and find a different nail gun than the one I expected. Oh well... (I suggest copying the model number and googling it if you want to see what you are getting, in this case anyhow.) It's a bit harder to load and unload than the older model, but I'm getting used to it. I think it has more power than the one I'm replacing it with too. But clearly I had no problem with the older model or I wouldn't have bought this one. I'm a finish carpenter, so it really matters to me that the nailer performs as it should. So far so good. Some people don't like the swiveling belt hook, (not pictured) but I don't mind it. It's a handy thing to have on a ladder. I'm glad they thought to add it to this model. Also, the depth adjustment works nicely. It also has a more sensitive trigger than than I'm used to. I can see how that could be a problem, but I'm careful. I should probably add that I have several Porter Cable tools and they all perform as they should. I got ten years out of my last PC finish nailer, so there you go.
It's a bit more complicated to use than my older Porter Cable finish nailer was. Especially when loading and unloading. But all in all, it's a very good nailer and I really do like its lightness. That becomes a major plus when doing something like installing crown mouldings.

A Texas law enforcement official says 12 bodies have been recovered following a massive explosion that leveled a fertilizer plant.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Jason Reyes said Friday that about 200 people were injured in the explosion at facility Wednesday night in the small farming community of West, about 20 miles north of Waco.
Search and rescue crews have been sifting through the still-smoldering remains for survivors. That work continues. The blast crumpled dozens of homes, an apartment building, a school and a nursing home.
Authorities say there's no indication that the blast was anything other than an industrial accident sparked by a fire. The company has been cited for apparently minor safety and permitting violations over the past decade.

Privacy on the Global Financial Web
This is the first post in our Evidon Global Tracker Report series. Featuring proprietary insight* into and analysis of third-party tracking across the web, articles in the series will be posted monthly and represent the kind of data you'll find in the Evidon Global Tracker Report, the first of which will be distributed at our next Evidon Empower summit in Europe on May 21st. Released semi-annually, the Evidon Global Tracker Report will be edited by thought leader Darren Herman, Chief Digital Media Officer of The Media Kitchen and President of kbs+p Ventures.
In this installment, we look at 9 leading global financial services sites. Using this list from Global Financial magazine as a guide, we selected BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Barclays, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of America, Crédit Agricole, and JP Morgan Chase. We examined the 3rd party trackers that have been encountered on the global web properties of these companies since the beginning of 2012.
click for larger image
As the graph shows, Chase, Bank of America, HSBC, Barclays, and Citi are all active in implementing third party services, with a maximum of 43 unique third party services adopted by Chase. Thereafter we see a decline; with only 8 adopted by Deutsche Bank, the fewest on the list.
The geographical distinction appears to be meaningful. Not only do the organizations whose focus is in Europe employ fewer trackers as a rule; but the US-based companies with EU sites also utilize fewer trackers on those sites. It is possible that heightened cultural and regulatory sensitivity to online privacy in EU member countries is altering otherwise routine business practices for these companies.
The breakdown across third parties offers some interesting clarity into exactly the kinds of tools these companies are adopting.
click for larger image
Omniture (with the top two positions), ForeSee, and Coremetrics lead the pack; showing that audience measurement is the highest priority among the world's top banks. Also represented in the list of leading partners are several ad networks. These are not ad-serving scripts, but pixels used to measure the effectiveness of ads delivered elsewhere on the web, and collect data for use in future ad campaigns.
The menu on Bank of America's Real Estate Center
Social media, while present, does not appear with the same kind of frequency as the marketing-based scripts mentioned above. Were we to extend the list, Google+ and ShareThis would rank in the mid 40s, behind a variety of other marketing tools and direct customer interaction scripts like LivePerson. (This does not mirror the web taken as a whole, where social scripts are represented heavily at the top of the ranks.) Bank of America, for example, implements social tools most frequently on its real estate listings. Many sites, notably BNP Paribas and Crédit Agricole, focus their use of social tools on press releases and talent recruiting.
It's important to note that presence of third party scripts on these sites does not necessarily indicate that user financial data is being shared to advertising companies. While these companies may use some aggregated data about their customers for marketing purposes (the degree of which is disclosed in each company's privacy policy), their use of web-based tracking technology seems to amount to two main goals: measuring their audience for marketing intelligence (and likely for behavioral marketing on other sites), and measuring the effectiveness of their own advertising elsewhere on the web.
So what does all this mean? Each bank's practices can differ, but the data suggests a kind of isolated advertising cycle. Given that the world's leading banks (particularly those with significant US client base) are active in both data collection and use of that data as marketers, a user could be segmented while visiting their bank's online tools, and that data could be used by a different bank for advertising elsewhere on the web. This kind of data trading may be exactly what leading financial marketers are after (who better to target for the use of online banking than someone who uses online banking); but it means that some of the same pool of users could be routinely segmented, targeted, and possibly acquired ' only to be segmented and targeted all over again.
*Data compiled with Ghostrank, Evidon'sGhostery®panel of over 350,000 users worldwide who opt in to report the tracking code they encounter as they browse the web.
If you have ideas about data you'd like to see featured in this series, or ways we can present this data, email Andy at Evidon.com. If you'd like more information about the Evidon Empower summit where the Global Tracker Report will be distributed, email info at Evidon.com.
