Light emitting devices are requiring greater switching speeds to achieve greater modulation bandwidths. The problems of intrinsic capacitance associated with conventional semiconductor heterojunction devices are reduced by the reduction of pn junction capacitance as well as the use of a semi-insulating blocking layer and a conductive substrate. Furthermore, a light absorbing layer is disposed on one side of an unetched portion of the semi-insulating material and an active layer disposed on an opposite side of the unetched portion. Also, the interface of the semi-insulating material and the active and absorbing layers are at prescribed angles that reduce back reflections to the absorbing and active layers. This arrangement reduces pumping in the absorbing region and thus reduces the lasing effect, allowing for a stable LED. The angle at the interface is determined by having the structure at a predetermined crystallographic direction and having the semi-insulating material etched to reveal a predetermined crystalline plane.

The present invention relates to semiconductor light emitting devices with increased operating speed and near linear light output versus current input characteristics, and lasing suppression mechanisms.
The invention of the instant application is related to U.S. patent applications Ser. Nos. 08/276,131 (abandoned); 08/572,284; and 08/338,991 (allowed). The advent of heterostructure semiconductor devices has lead to the ease in fabrication and improved characteristics of many types of semiconductor devices. The light emitting diode (LED) the subject of the present invention, is an example of a device that benefits greatly from the use of heterostructure device design. Generally, the heterostructure employed in the fabrication of an LED is a double heterostructure, in which an active region III-V semiconductor (ternary or quaternary) is sandwiched between two oppositely doped III-IV compounds. By choosing appropriate materials of the outer layers, the band gaps are made to be larger than that of the active layer. This procedure, well known to the skilled artisan, produces a device that permits light emission due to recombination in the active region, but prevents the flow of electrons or holes between the active layer and the higher band gap sandwiching layers due to the differences between the conduction band energies and the valence band energies, respectively. An example of this is shown in FIG. 1, which is an energy band diagram of an N-n-P (where N,P are indicative of materials with greater band gaps than the n-doped active region) double semiconductor heterostructure, which shows the discontinuities 2,3 in energy levels of the conduction band energy (Ec) and the valence band energy (Ev) at the depletion regions that create the confinement of electrons and holes in the active region 1 (The Fermi level Ef, is aligned at all three materials). The minority carrier concentration (holes) in the sandwiched region can have a magnitude comparable to the majority carrier concentration in the p-doped region. Accordingly, upon application of a junction forward bias, recombination takes place in and is essentially restricted to the central region, a feature of great advantage in the LED. A further advantage stems from a structure such as that shown, is that the dielectric constant of the higher bandgap layers is lower than that of the central lower bandgap region. Accordingly, the index of refraction of the lower bandgap region is higher than that of the lower bandgap regions, and a natural dielectric slab (assuming a rectangular layer structure) waveguide is formed.
Light emitting devices can be fabricated to emit light from an edge of the active layer, or as stated above, from a surface. The devices can be either light emitting diodes or lasers. For the purposes of clarity of instruction, one particular design will be described in detail. The particular design shows an edge emitting LED on an n-type substrate. However the same principles apply for these light emitting devices on a p-type substrate. Furthermore, the active layer composition for the these devices can be either of conventional bulk material or strained or unstrained quantum well type material. An Edge Emitting Light Emitting Diode (ELED), fabricated by conventional techniques is shown in FIGS. 2-4. Turning first to FIG. 2, a p-type indium phosphide (p-InP) layer 22 is grown on substrate 21. An n-InP cladding layer 23 is grown on the layer 22, and a v-groove is etched as shown with an active region of InGaAsP grown thereafter. Then, a p-cladding layer of InP 24 followed by a p+ layer of InGaAsP contact 25 or cap layer. Then a metal contact layer 26 is deposited on layer 25. With the exception of the metal contact layer 26, these layers are grown on the substrate epitaxially. In the structure as shown, distinct advantages are realized. First, as with other conventional devices, the natural waveguide is formed by choosing the appropriate cladding and active layers. Also, a buried structure is formed which enables current confinement which results in a lower current threshold level, and reduced operating temperatures. This current confinement comes about by selective junction biasing. To be specific to the example shown, a forward bias at the active/cladding region results in emission through recombination. However, as can be appreciated, application of an electric potential to effect a forward bias from active to cladding will result in a reverse bias in the lateral pn junctions, thus electrically burying the active region and resulting in current confinement. Optical confinement is also effected by the fact that the lateral regions are of lower index of refraction than that of the active region, resulting in a guided optical wave. FIG. 3 shows a p-type substrate of InP 31 having a buried crescent active region of p-GainAsP 33 and cladding layers of n-InP 32 and p-InP 34 respectively. In the particular device shown, there is shown the interface of the cladding and substrate regions at 36 which is angled to reduce reflections thereby reducing the probability of lasing. In a device designed to be an LED, it is undesirable to have a resonant cavity capable of supporting lasing action, and this is one method used to prevent this. The blocking layer is shown as an n InP layer 37, a p In-P layer 38 and an n InP layer 39. Finally, turning to FIG. 4, the basic structure as shown in FIG. 3 is found, however, a thyristor blocking region 47 is shown that separates the active region 43 from an absorption region of material identical to that of the active region. A substrate of p-InP 41, has a layer 46 n-InP 42 grown on top and a layer of p-InP 46 layer grown on top of layer 42. The lower cladding region is shown as p-InP 44, and an upper cladding region of n-InP is shown at 40. Furthermore, a layer of p-InGaAsP 48 is identical to the active layer 43. In purpose and effect, such a structure is designed to absorb any light that is refracted at the interface 46 and propagates through the thyristor blocking layer 47. Potentially, this could effect resonating and thereby result in undesired lasing. The device shown in FIG. 4 also has a dielectric cap of SiO2 which is supposed to reduce leakage current in the absorption region from the ohmic metal contact for the device which is deposited onto the top surface. The shortcoming of this approach is that there is still current leakage through the heavily doped cap layer of n-InGaAsP. This leakage current will result in electrical pumping of the absorption region of the LED, and accordingly, lasing effects could result. In addition, this leakage current (current flow from the absorption region) reduces the actual current needed to pump the active region. Furthermore, this structure, while effective in DC applications has great shortcomings in the ever increasing switching speeds required for example in communications applications. This is due to intrinsic capacitance between the layers that make up the device. Furthermore, the layer of dielectric which is used to decrease leakage current has the adverse affect of preventing heat dissipation as well as increasing device capacitance. It is desirable to reduce the area of the layers which reduces the capacitance, as well as to increase the ability to dissipate joule heating of the device.
With the desire for higher switching speeds, particularly the desire to reduce the rise and fall times of a digital optical signal, the ill-effects of parasitic capacitance must be reduced. Examples of attempts to curb the ill-effects of parasitic capacitance can be found in related U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,003,358; 5,100,833; 5,194,399 and 5,275,968 to Takahashi, et al. incorporated herein by reference. As is disclosed in the '358 reference, a semi-insulating or insulating substrate has deposited thereon a semi-insulating layer of InP which is etched to accommodate the p and n side electrodes as well as an vertical aperture in which an active layer is grown between p and n type cladding layers. Thereby, a light emitting device is formed in the aperture. Connecting the n-type cladding to the n side electrode is a conducting n-type InP layer which is buried in a groove etched in the semi-insulating layer. This structure having the light emitting device in a relatively small and confined region reduces the intrinsic parasitic capacitance by reducing the area of the p-n junctions of the device, and thereby the capacitance which is directly proportional to the area of the p-n junction. A good understanding of the ill-effects of this parasitic peripheral pn junction capacitance is found by a review of the prior art disclosed in FIG. 5 of the '358 reference. U.S. Pat. No. 5,309,467 to Terakado, the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference, discloses a buried stripe semiconductor laser with a semi-insulating layer on either side of the buried mesa structure. This structure enables the operation of a laser with high luminous efficiency at elevated temperatures. This reference teaches the structure to effect lasing. What is desired is an LED which is capable of operating at high frequencies and at elevated temperatures.
The present invention provides for an edge emitting LED which is capable of operating at high frequencies, and thereby with a greater operational bandwidth. The invention effects light emission without the adverse affects of lasing by eliminating light diffusion surfaces and by having a nearly unpumped absorption region.
It is an object of the present invention to enable an LED to operate with high switching speed, thereby with greater bandwidth capabilities.
It is a feature of the present advantage to fabricate a buried heterostructure device with greatly reduced intrinsic capacitance, thereby having a lower intrinsic RC time constant.
It is a further feature to reduce the lateral pn junction capacitance through the use of a semi-insulating material deposited on either side of the buried heterostructure.
It is a further feature of the present invention to prevent lasing by removal of portions of the cap, cladding and semi-insulating layers.
It is a further feature of the present invention to dissipate joule heat through the semi-insulating layer that reduces the intrinsic capacitance.
It is an object of the present invention to fabricate a high switching speed light emitting device that is not prone to lasing.
It is a further feature of the present invention to reduce the ill-effects of joule heating, and the subsequent non-linear light versus current characteristics.

FIGS. 7a-7b show an alternative fabrication step.
Turning to FIGS. 5a through 5d, we see the schematic cross section of the device fabrication of a buried crescent heterostructure ELED preferably employed to fabricate the present invention. The device is fabricated as follows. First we see in FIG. 5a, a substrate 51 which is preferably n-InP wafer that is doped to a degree that it is conductive, for preferably having doping levels of approximately 1017 to 1019 cm-1. A layer of high thermal conductivity semi-insulating material 52 (for example Fe doped InP) is epitaxially grown on the substrate 51 preferably by Metal Oxide Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), however techniques such as Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE), Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and Chemical Beam Epitaxy (CBE) are also possible techniques. Turning now to FIG. 5b, we see the etched layers of the semi-insulating layer in order to effect the groove structure which advantageously divides the device into first and second regions with attendant advantages. The etching of the semi-insulating layer and the substrate as shown in FIG. 5b is effected preferably by masking with an appropriate mask such as SiO2 or silicon nitride followed by wet chemical etchant, however a dry etching method such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) is within the purview of the present invention. The epitaxial materials are grown first in a planar structure and then masked with dielectric or photoresist. The mask is patterned and partially removed. The exposed area is then etched by an isotropical etchant to leave a groove structure of the semi-insulating layer and substrate. The unetched semi-insulating portion 53 divides the device into a first and second region for discussion purposes. In any event, the grooves 54 are preferably in the dimension of a few microns in depth and a few hundred microns in length. It is critical that in the lateral dimension (the width) the grooves have an arrowhead or v-shape as at 55 to pinch off the active region in the ensuing regrowth. In the longitudinal direction the v-shape of the grooves facilitates the light diffusion as at 56. The desired orientations of the arrowhead 55 and the light diffusion surface 56 are effected by etching to reveal selected crystalline planes of the monocrystalline layers of the semi-insulating and substrate layers. By way of example, by choosing a (001) substrate, a 54.7 degree angle relative to the substrate is achieved with a (111) surface etch of the face 56 in the semi-insulating layer. The orientations described are merely exemplary, and it is clearly understood that other materials with other crystalline orientations are considered within the purview of the skilled artisan. Details of selective crystalline etching are found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,210,923 to North, et al., the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference. The buried crescent heterostructure as shown in FIG. 5c is fabricated preferably as follows. The first cladding layer 57 which is preferably of InP is grown by preferably LPE and effects a concave surface in the region of the etched grooves at an increased growth rate over that of convex growth. Accordingly, the LPE is carried out for preferably 10-90 seconds along with the growth of the active/absorption layer 58 of n-InGaAsP in the first and second regions 511 and 512, of the device respectively, to form a concave structure as shown in a single high growth rate step. At this point, the second cladding layer of InP 59 is grown by a long LPE step, generally of a few minutes. This enables relatively planar growth of this layer 510 as is desired. Finally, a cap layer of n-InGaAsP is grown in a relatively fast planar growth step of about 20-30 seconds of LPE to form the planar layer as shown. It is of course possible to have differently doped materials for the differing materials. As the important factor being that the basic physics of an ELED be employed, it is considered within the purview of the skilled artisan to effect a device by differently doped materials as well as different III-V compounds. Finally, turning to FIG. 5d, we see the final version of a preferred embodiment of the instant invention. Partial etching of the cap, second cladding and the semi-insulating layers is carried out for reasons explained herein. The etching is achieved by masking selected regions of the structure with a dielectric or photoresist followed by a wet etch of isotropical etchant. The mask is then removed with a solution of HF, for example. The removal of these layers selectively enables operation of the device with the attendant advantage of preventing current flow to the absorption region. Thereby, any light which is transmitted through the diffusion surface from the active region will be absorbed more readily in this electrically unpumped region. Accordingly, the tendency of the device to lase is suppressed, and the device functions as a high speed ELED. A further preferred embodiment is as shown in FIG. 5d. To be specific, after the selective etching of the cap, second cladding and semi-insulating layers, a double channel 513 is revealed. The channel is etched via photolithographic techniques above described, using a dielectric or photoresist as a mask in the etching of the double channel in the first region 512 of the device and to etch the entire second region 513 of the device, as shown. Note the first and second regions 511 and 512 of the device are the imaginary division of the device with the unetched semi-insulating portion 53 as the division between the first and second regions (this terminology pertains throughout the disclosure with reference to the first and second regions). The double channel could be etched in the first region deeper than in the second region, and thereby to be within about two microns of the active layer. The heat generated in the active layer could be readily dissipated through the two microns of semi-insulating InP, and readily through a thermally conductive material deposited (described below in connection with FIG. 5e, below) in the channel and across the first region as shown. Choosing the channel to be etched within two microns of the active layer allows for heat dissipation without any appreciable absorption of the optical field (via the evanescent tail) of the active layer which tails off exponentially with distance at the semi-insulating layer/active layer interface. Were the channel in contact with the active layer, a metal material in the channel would be absorbed the optical field of the active layer to some extent, whereas in the instant invention, there is no appreciable absorption. Turning now to FIG. 5e, we see a deposited metal layer 514 as the heat sink. The metal layer is preferably an alloy of Ti-Pt-Au or Au-Zn-Au for a p-type cap layer. For an n-cap layer it is preferred to use an alloy of AuGe-Ni-Au or Ge-Au-Ni-Au. The layers are deposited by standard plating or evaporation techniques. The heat generated in the active layer is dissipated across the semi-insulating layer and through the thermally conductive layer enabling the device to operate at nearly linear light output versus current input characteristic. This method of heat dissipation is not possible with the structure of the prior art as for example an n-cap, p-n-p-n blocking layer, the thermally conductive layer would short the n-cap and the n blocking layers. Finally, the device as shown in FIG. 5f has no heat dissipating channel and is fabricated above with the steps toward the channel fabrication eliminated. The layer of dielectric is shown as 515.
The benefits of such a structure are as described presently. First, this structure minimizes the area of the pn junctions through mesa structure, and has the benefit thereby of reducing the ill-effects of pn junction capacitance. Secondly, the deposition of a semi-insulating layer as the isolating layer serves as well to decrease the capacitance between the p-electrode and the n-electrode, outside the mesa region. The advantage of having a reduction in the overall intrinsic capacitance of the ELED is the great reduction in rise and fall time of the device due to a reduction in the device RC time constant. Reducing the RC time constant increases the switching speed, and in the realm of nearly square-wave digital signals faster rise and fall response times will result in higher frequency devices with greatly enhanced communication bandwidths. This ELED as designed experiences rise and fall times on the order of 0.5 nanoseconds. This rapid switching capability has resulted in a bandwidth of over 700 MHz.
Another benefit of the present device design is its capability to dissipate the joule heat generated in operation. Joule heating in conventional light emitting devices results in non-linear light output power versus bias currents. The structure of the present invention has the ability to dissipate heat through two paths. Turning to FIGS. 5 and 6, the layer of semi-insulating InP which has a thermal conductivity of approximately 0.68 watt-cm-1 -K-1 forms one path. The layer 65 has the same thermal expansion coefficient and lattice constant as the n-doped InP substrate, and can thereby be grown to any desired thickness, which has obvious ramifications relative to the degree of electrical isolation as well as the ability of the device to dissipate heat. For example, this could be a layer of Fe-doped InP exhibiting a resistivity in the range 106 -1010 Ohm-cm, however other materials could be used in keeping with the theme and spirit of the invention. The dissipation of heat away from the pn junctions of the mesa structure allows the device to operate at high injection current levels without significant heating of the pn junctions, thereby improving the light output power linearity with respect to bias current.
Turning now to FIGS. 6a-6f, we see the fabrication steps of the present invention in a buried mesa heterostructure. There are two methods preferred to fabricate the buried mesa structure device, and each will be discussed separately. Turning first to FIG. 6a, we see the planar layers of substrate 61, first cladding layer 67, active layer 68 and second cladding layer 69 which are preferably deposited by MOCVD, however LPE, MBE or CBE will work. The layers are identical in materials doping types and doping levels as were stated above relative to the buried crescent device. Succinctly, for an InP n-substrate, an n-InP first cladding layer, an InGaAsP active layer and a p-InP second cladding layer, the first cladding layer is doped with S, Si or Sn as described above. The active layer is undoped/unintentionally doped or intentionally doped with Zn which serves to decrease carrier lifetime and increase the bandwidth of the device. Accordingly, bandwidth is increased by decreasing intrinsic capacitance as well as by selective doping of the active layer. However, care must be taken to not dope the active layer too greatly, as light intensity is adversely affected by too high of doping levels. The present invention enables increasing bandwidth even with an undoped/unintentionally doped active layer by virtue of the reduced capacitance. Finally, the second cladding layer is doped p-type with Zn as described above. Turning now to FIG. 6b, we see the etched structure. Etching is effected by photolithography preferably using patterned dielectric to mask the desired regions of the layers. The preferred etchant is HCl, however mixtures of HCl and H3 PO4 are also possible. The etching again makes use of the characteristic planes of monocrystalline material, and the light diffusion surfaces are readily effected by etching to reveal the (111) planes. The dielectric is removed by HF solution. Turning now to FIG. 6c, we see the growth of the various layers of the device. The preferred technique is LPE, however, MOCVD, MBE or CBE are also possible. By the very nature of LPE, the growth rate in a concave surface is much faster than in a planar or convex surface, the semi-insulating layer 63 could be grown in the non-mesa region with no growth at the top of the mesa. After the semi-insulating layer is grown to result in a nearly planar wafer, the p-cladding 67, 69 and p-cap layers 610 are grown in planar form thereon. The semi-insulating layer is doped preferably with Co at a concentration of 1019 /cm3. The preferred dopant for the p-cap layer is Zn in concentration of 1019 /cm3. FIGS. 6d and 6e show the etching to effect the double channel 614 heat sink. As the etching and deposition of a thermally conductive layer is identical to the description associated with FIGS. 5d and 5e, it will not be repeated. The dielectric layer is shown at 615.
Turning now to FIGS. 7a and 7b, we see alternative steps to that shown in the fabrication steps shown and described relative to FIG. 6b. Clearly, the same etching is performed in FIG. 7a, with a dielectric layer as a mask in the etching of the mesas. However, instead of removing the dielectric layer 715, it is left on during epitaxial growth of the semi-insulating layer so as to serve as a growth inhibitor. The layer of dielectric is deposited so that after etching, it overhangs the mesas as at 71. This structure will allow epitaxial growth of the semi-insulating layer 73 on the substrate 70, but will prevent its growth on the second cladding layer 73. The structure that results is as shown in FIG. 7b. The preferred technique is growth of the semi-insulating layer, preferably Fe-doped InP, by MOCVD, however LPE, MBE and CBE. Also, as described previously, other dopants are possible if not necessary given the desired substrate for a given structure. The doping concentrations are as stated previously. The growth of the semi-insulating layer is grown to planarize the wafer. After the growth of the semi-insulating layer the structure results as is shown in FIG. 7b, and the layer of dielectric layer is removed by HF. The cladding layers, active layer, cap layer are as described previously, and the structure can be further processed to effect the heat sink as described above.
Having described the preferred embodiments, it is clear that there are various techniques for fabrication as well as materials and dopants that are considered within the purview of the artisan of ordinary skill. Such variations of the instant teachings contained herein are considered within the theme and spirit of the invention.

Apple stacks the deck in favour of its content providers.
Apple has caved-on to pressure from publishers to relax its strict rules for in-app subscriptions on the App Store, meaning magazines and newspapers can now charge what they want for their products.
Apple's previous guidelines, which were set to come into effect on June 30th, saw Apple demand a 30 per cent share of any subscriptions sold through the App Store, while restricting publishers to charging equal to or less than the physical mag.
Now publishers, who have called the policy extortionate, can now charge whatever they like for their in-app subscriptions to account for Apple's 30 per cent of the takings.
In a copy of the new guidelines obtained by MacRumors, Apple has said that publishers who offer their subscriptions on a non-in-app basic will not be charged a cut of the profits.
However, the change could be bad news for the consumer who have been able to take advantage of a few reasonable deals in order to take their daily reads to their precious Apple tablet device.
However, publishing houses will be delighted and might be able to start making some real money from their digital endeavours.
Apple's change of heart might have something to do with the growing trend for publishers to offer their content through enhanced websites, hence by-passing the App Store and cutting Apple out of the profits.
This way stacks the deck very much in favour of the publishers which can now take advantage of iTunes easy payment and download service and still rack in the profits.

Mac Stannard scored 15 points and Bela Dobkowski added 11 more, and their Fair Haven Slaters rolled over the visiting Middlebury Tigers 61-36. Christian Doran contributed 8 points and 10 boards to the Slaters win. Middlebury, who dropped to 0-2 with the loss, was lead by Dennis Brodford with 16 points.
In Proctor the four time defending Division IV champion Proctor Phantoms, behind a balanced scoring attack and fantastic defense, easily dispatched the Rochester Rockets 52-23 to open their 2009-10 season. Zach Currier, Nate Salgo and Matt Dobart
had ten points apiece to lead Proctor. Rochester, who fell to 0-1 with the defeat was paced by Ethan White, who behind five 3-pointers, scored 17 of the Rockets 23 points.
The Proctor Phantoms girl's team opened up their season with an impressive win themselves last Friday night in Ludlow. Like the boys the ladies utilized stellar defense to hold a commanding 33 - 6 lead, and rolled on from their to defeat the Presidents in their own Tournament 57-22. Offensively Mikayla Tanner led the charge with 14 points, while her teammates Megan Carter and Carissa Elrick contributed ten piece to the win. Kaitelynd Palmer led the 0-1 Presidents with eight points.

Textile design students of the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design (Velia Dietz, Pina Jax, Sophie Probst, and Sarah Wendler) were able to open themselves up to the endless possibilities in the craft of knitwear. This joint project between the Stuttgart State Academy, Stoll Germany, and Zegna Baruffa expanded the creative challenges for the students from trend research to garment development.
The design process started out with simple hand-flat knitting machines as a catalyst for imagination. The students then moved on to the execution of their design on Stoll machines while learning the advantages and limits of both.
The theme was Flamboyant of the 19th century with the advent of the railroad. Like many oriental subjects in 19thcentury painting, exoticism in the decorative arts and interiors were associated with fantasies of opulence and barbaric splendor.
Pina Jax was inspired by the 1900 film divas including Marchesa Casati. "These divas love their furs and snakes," said Pina. She wanted to deviate from the flat dimension of fur and spent 100 hours of knitting on the hand-machine (The knitting process on the industrial Stoll machines would have been even more time-consuming). "It really comes down to the details. My part in textile design is looking into the details."
Sophie Probst was inspired by the architecture of New York City- the Empire State Building in particular. Sophie's aim was to create a diva dress that was tight and elongated. She is often inspired by her interest in interior design and industrial designs.
Sarah Wendler focused on the craft of Plisse and feathers and "wanted it to be more of a sculpture that builds up… the sketch was exactly the same as the result, which is rare, because you usually have to compromise the design for the sake of technical issues." While designing Sarah believes that the concept of fashion should "transport a situation with the clothes you wear". Despite the historical context of the theme, Sarah wanted to intensify a modern an erotic flavor in an extravagant and opulent form.
Velia Dietz worked with the hand-knitting machine and was inspired by architecture. "I wanted to do something with NY". She loved the clouds and wanted to use nylon yarns to give a sense of transparency. Velia wanted to maintain an interest in what the city looked like from the outside with an abstract visual element drawn from New York's cityscape.
These four students found themselves illuminated by the existence of the New York garment district- a place where you could simply cross the street and buy trims and a wide range of fabrics. This exhibition is currently showing in the Stoll showroom in Manhattan until August 17.

2009 Linux New Media Awards
2009 Linux New Media Awards
At CeBIT 2009, Linux New Media AG presented its annual awards for outstanding contributions to Linux and Open Source. The OpenStreetMap project took two of the six Linux New Media Awards.
CeBIT Open Source took place in Hanover, Germany, this year and was the perfect backdrop for the Linux New Media Awards (Figure 1). The awards ceremony took place on March 5th, with winners and presenters gathering at the Open Source Forum in Hall 6 for the official ceremony and the ensuing party.
An international jury of some 200 experts from the community, industry, and government nominated candidates for this year's six categories of the Linux New Media Awards and voted on the winners (see "The Jury 2009" box). The field nominated by the jury was huge. The Outstanding Contributions to Open Source category alone had more than 30 people and projects on the ballot, starting with Debian and its Project Leader Steve McIntyre, through SUSE Build Service, to the Vietnamese government for its Open Source plans.
OpenStreetMap received the award in the Most Innovative Open Source Project category. Michael Buege and Dirk-Lüder Kreie accepted the prize on behalf of the project and praised the commitment of the 100,000 or so people who contributed to the free GIS. OpenStreetMap's second award was in the Outstanding Contribution to Linux and Open Source category. This category, sponsored by Linux New Media AG, the publisher of Linux Magazine, is a standing feature at the Awards, whereas other categories reflect current topics.
The award for the most Open Source-friendly hardware vendor went to Intel; other nominees were Asus, IBM, and Sun. Peter Ganten (Linux Association) handed over the award and praised Intel for its contributions to kernel development and its commitment to open standards. Ganten reminded the audience that Linus Torvalds wrote the first kernel for Intel's i386 CPU.
Oliver Zendel from Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) handed over the award in the Security category. The award went to OpenSSH; Markus Friedl, a core member of the OpenSSH team, accepted the award and thanked the user community for their support.
The Mobility category reflects a current trend in Linux. Professor Jean-Pierre Seifert (Technical University Berlin) handed over the award to Dan Kegel for Google's Linux-based mobile platform, Android.
Knoppix inventor and Linux Magazine columnist Klaus Knopper presented the award for best Open Source programming language, a subject that saw heated discussions among jury members. The award finally went to Python. Martin von Löwis of the Python Foundation accepted the award on behalf of the Python community.

|Blessing me with her wisdom; my daughter
It has been there ever since the beginning; as old as the mankind. Naturally, it is human tendency to think of someone who does a little good things to us or speaks kindly of us, we think he/she is a nice person. And everyone has weakness to nice persons. All family members and friends are nice people to everyone. Obviously nice people are to be treated well. And when you are a person in a high position, you have people looking up to you, all nice people, your friends, family members and relatives. All these people expect you to do good things to them that might somehow benefit them now or in the near future.
But it is against the moral conscience of man to favor one set of people over another. Again, it is quite a human tendency to help your near and dear ones. You just did the right thing by giving your cousins some jobs. You just did the right thing by letting your nephew write a selection exam even when he has already received the answered questions in advance. You just did the right thing by taking the road to this part of the geog because all nice people in the village live there including your own parents. You just did the right thing by offering some cash to a man of power because now your daughter has a comfortable job to take care of her livelihood.
My daughter has had the chance to be ride cars on her way to her routine injections. And she has consented to get a ride in a cab because being nice person she understands her father's position. She understands now her father has to pay extra money to get the same car and buying a used car contributes to air pollution.
This is at the time when the entire world is talking about combating climate change and global warming. And when such talks are going on this side of the globe, some people are making millions from their industries and factories while others make millions by the very act of organizing such events. Well, talking helps, but blabbering without action is a sheer waste of energy. People look forward to such summits for they take them to foreign lands, where they will be treated like saints to star rated hotels. Our approach to climate change may not have changed at all. Some of us make living by talking on fancy topics.

Litter Box
Screen BinkyBunny
PREORDER: These screens are usually made
weekly. (typically on weekends). Depending on when you
order, the wait for the order to be shipped out could be up to a
week. We ship your whole order at once so if you want your
other items shipped separately, please order them
NEW LARGE SIZE - 15 1/2 x 11 1/2
inches. These fit the new
litter boxes we sell, but you can order them together and get a
slight discount by ordering the LITTER
If you need a special size, check out
our CUSTOM
SCREENS, If you need screens
from the previous kits (the more rounded corner ones - metallic
beigh and silver. Then order custom and request 14 1/2"
x 10 3/4" x 1/16"
This screen sits directly on litter. It is not a
raised type of screen --- please see the video to see how it
works. Check out our Product Feature video about the
Litter Screen on YouTube
We created this for our own bunnies many years ago,
and it's still in great shape. It saved us money on litter and kept
our bunnies feet clean, so now we've decided to share what's worked
for us, with you!
As we all know rabbits like to get into their box not
only to do their "business" but to also hang out and eat hay. They
will get in and out many times throughout one 24 hour period. By
doing this, the unused litter gets mixed with the urine soaked
litter, poos and hay pieces, making it difficult to scoop the bad
without wasting alot of the good. With the screen, it allows
the urine to soak through into a nice neat confined area which is
easy to scoop up, and the poos sit on top of the screen, making
them easy to throwout, while preserving the litter
NOTE: If you use sheets of paper or shredded
paper for litter, this screen will not work well with
it. -- Needs to be an absorbent litter like compressed
pellets of paper or wood.
Plus, the fact it is so easy to just lift the screen
and dump the poos daily makes it a cleaner place for your bunnies
to hang out in. And if your bunny is a "digger" and loves to make a
mess of his habitat, then this is the perfect
When you put hay in the box like we do, the screen
makes it even that much easier to separate it all and then just
scoop out the soaked litter spots.
The galvanized metal handles acidic aspect of urine
very well, and the tightly woven mesh screen makes it easier on
bunnies sensitive hocks.
We've had the same litter box screen for over five
years now and it's going strong--and with no less than two bunnies
at one time it gets alot of action! Plus, it has held up very
well against our scrub brushes and soaking when needed.
Note: IF
you have a larger bunny, a rex breed, or a bunny that likes to hang
out in the litterbox, then we advise you to put a a little hay over
the screen (as we did in the video) so that your bunnies feet are
fully protected.

Litter Saver!!!
From Anonymous of Faser, Michigan on 2/28/2015.
Best investment ever! I have a mini lop and neatherland dwarf that share a litter box and this product has prevented my buns from digging & throwing litter out of the box! Only issues I have is that screen doesn't lay completely flat and some of the poops roll to the edges of pan not covered by the . . .
Clean Screen
From Twinkie the Binkie of Bristol, Connecticut on 2/5/2015.
Perfect fit for the box I have for my bun. (same size as in kit) Keeps hay clear and keeps bun from digging and makin a mess. Glad I found such a usefull product and will definitely order again.
Money saver
From Melanie Melcher of Big Rapids, Michigan on 1/21/2015.
I love my bunny, but she poops like crazy as all bunnies do. And as a student buying a new bag of litter every month was getting old and hard to do. After buying this I'm able to use less litter, and save more money. It also allows my bunny to lay in her litter box (which she loves) without laying in . . .
No more mess
From Anonymous of Brunswick, Ohio on 12/31/2014.
I love, love, love this litter screen!!!!!!! My sons bunny would dig in her litter box all night and by morning she litter box was almost empty and the floor was a huge mess!!!! But since I put the litter box screen in she can't dig in her litter any more so NO MORE MESS to clean up in the mornings!!!! . . .
Worked perfectly!
From Stefanie of Eden Prairie, Minnesota on 11/26/2014.
My bun was causing huge messes every day by digging up the paper and pellets in her litter box. The screen worked perfectly to stop her digging up the pellets. Cleaning is easier and I go through much less litter each day. She can still dig and push around the hay I put on top, so it's kind of a win-win . . .
Took care of the digging issue!
From Shannon Collins of Brownsburg, Indiana on 8/5/2014.
Works beautifully. Makes for an easier cleanup of pan too. Great idea.
Good Design
From Mary Frances Lawler of New Castle, Delaware on 7/16/2014.
Very good design and fit the litter box great. My bunny, however, hasn't taken to it and prefers her old litter box. But we'll keep trying!
litter box screen
From Janice Rigler of Calllaway, Nebraska on 7/4/2014.
I like the litter box screen very much, it keeps my bunnies bottom clean.I empty it quiet often but he stays dry and clean.

If you can't figure out what PDM costs, don't feel bad. It's not you.
Ever try to figure out the cost of a given PDM system? How'd it go? Get everything you need? I'm guessing not. Here's why.
What's the first thing most people do before they make any kind of meaningful purchase? They search for it. They read reviews, they watch a few videos, maybe they hit the relevant forums. Once they've become more familiar with what's out there and pared down their options, what's the next thing they do? They search for the price.
After that? Your average consumer likely doesn't think about total cost of ownership (TCO) for every single meaningful purchase. But if you're evaluating PDM, you likely will think about TCO. Or at least we think you should.

Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.

The Rhino Chaser
Played in the Monday tourney at Airway Billiards in Dayton Oh and the Thursday Tourney at Hall of Fame Billiards in Warren Michigan. Just wanted to say that both are great to play. The tourney at Airway had 98 players with skill level ranging from A to D. For five bucks how can you go wrong. The tourney at HOF is a b/b+ and up as far a skill level of the players. HOF has plenty of action. If you couldn't find a game you weren't looking very hard. I would recommend both tournaments. For Perk, I lost my first match and then won the next 4 or 5 before bowing out. Not sure of how many I won just know I'm upset about the last set.

Review of Newer Anticoagulants and Anti-platelet Agents in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular & Hematological Agents in Medicinal Chemistry,
11(3): 194-202.

Department of Internal Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Paul L Foster School of Medicine, 4800, Alberta Avenue Suite 123, El Paso, TX 79905, USA.
In the last few years three new oral anticoagulants-Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban and Apixaban and two new antiplatelet agents Prasugrel and Ticagrelor have been approved for use. Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban and Apixaban have been approved for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in non valvular Atrial Fibrillation in the United States. Rivaroxaban is also approved for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism, including pulmonary embolism. These drugs have been shown to be non-inferior to Warfarin. These drugs do not need monitoring and have lesser drug interactions compared to Warfarin. The newer antiplatelet agents Prasugrel and Ticagrelor are more potent than Clopidogrel and are more effective in patients with CYP2 C19 enzyme deficiency. Both of these drugs are approved in acute coronary syndrome and Prasugrel is approved only in acute coronary syndrome with percutaneous coronary intervention.

Jill McDonald (Middlebury, Vt.) scored a
career-high 17 points all in the second half and in overtime to
lead the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team to a
78-65 overtime victory over Harvard University on Tuesday night at
Lundholm Gymnasium.
With the win, the Wildcats improve to 3-1 on the season, their best start since the 2005-06 campaign, when the 'Cats won three straight games to start the year 3-1. As for the Crimson, they drop their second straight game, falling to 2-2 on the young season.
For New Hampshire, the win comes as its largest margin of victory in overtime in program history. It is also UNH's first victory against Harvard since Dec. 29, 1999, when the Wildcats defeated the Crimson 70-58 at Lundholm Gymnasium. The win is also New Hampshire's third at home this season, which is its best start at Lundholm Gymnasium since the 1993-94 campaign, when the 'Cats won their first six home games on their way to finishing the season 17-11.
UNH kicked off the action playing stingy defense against the Crimson, holding the visitors scoreless for the first 5:16 of the action and not allowing a field goal until the 8:44 mark, when Emma Markley drained a jumper to make the score 15-5 in favor of the home team.
Offensively the 'Cats were just as tenacious, lacing the nets for a 20-5 run to start the game, as Diamon Beckford (Philadelphia, Pa.) knocked down a pair of free throws to cap off the run with 6:49 remaining in the first half. Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) kicked off the run for New Hampshire with layup at 17:31, on her way to pouring in 11 points during the stretch.
Elle Hagedorn ended the run with a layup with 6:31 remaining, as she sparked a stretch in which the Crimson scored seven unanswered points, with the score set at 20-10 in favor of UNH with 4:44 remaining in the first half.
Jilliane Friel (Durham, N.H.) answered the call for the Wildcats as she drained a pair of 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions, building UNH's lead back up to 14 points with score 26-12 with 3:36 remaining.
Following Friel's pair of treys, the two squads would trade baskets for the remainder of the stanza, with UNH holding a 29-20 lead at intermission.
The start of the second half was much the same for both teams, as the two went back and forth with one another in the early going with UNH holding a lead no larger than 12 points in the first ten minutes of the half.
The Crimson would catch fire just past the midway point, as Christine Matera drained a trifecta to spark a 14-4 run that would knot up the action at 53-53 with 3:57 remaining.
McDonald would score a bucket on UNH's next trip down the floor to put the Wildcats back out in front 55-53. However, the basket wasn't enough to silence the Crimson, as they continued their hot shooting as Brogan Berry knocked down a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession to give Harvard its first lead of the game, with the score 56-55 with 3:17 remaining.
Next trip down Beckford nailed a pair of free throws, to give the 'Cats the lead once again with score set at 57-56. After nearly one minute of scoreless play, the Crimson responded, as Emma Markley layed the ball with 1:00 remaining to put the visitors up 58-57.
The Wildcats had one last chance to put the Crimson away for good as Amy Simpson (Waterford, Conn.) drove along the baseline in the final seconds of regulation in an attempt to score the game-winner, but was fouled by Christine Matera and sent to the line for a pair of free throws with 0:03 remaining. Simpson drained the first of two free throws, sending the game into overtime tied at 58-58.
The Wildcats made quick work of the Crimson at the start of the overtime period as Denise Beliveau (Framingham, Mass.) and Lauren Wells (West Chester, Pa.) drained back-to-back 3-pointers on ensuing possessions to put the 'Cats up 64-58 with 3:39 remaining.
New Hampshire's quick start was a forecast of things to come, as the Wildcats posted a 12-2 run to kick off overtime. The hot shooting didn't stop there, as the 'Cats shot 80 percent (4-for-5) from the field in overtime, on their way to outscoring the Crimson 20-7 in the stanza to secure the victory.
McDonald, who was named America East Player of the Game for UNH, finished with 17 points, seven rebounds and a career-high three assists. Williams tallied 18 points and eight rebounds, four steals and two assists. Beliveau finished with 14 points, a career-high 14 boards and two blocks.
Simpson chipped in with eight points, eight assists and two blocks. Beckford notched a career-high eight points and pulled in five rebounds.
As for the Crimson, Emma Markely finished with 21 points, seven rebounds and two steals. Brogan Berry and Victoria Lippert chipped in with 15 and 13 points, respectively.
The Wildcats return to action on
Sunday, Nov. 29 at noon when they travel to Quinnipiac University
to take on the Bobcats at the TD Banknorth Sports Center.

My first visit was a bit of an accident-- someone else made the decision. It was definitely a happy one. I really wouldn't refer to this restaurant as Chinese as it is so wonderfully fusion. The food and service are fabulous, but if you're looking for bargains, do the lunch thing. Same great food at unbelievably low prices. BTW- If the menu item is in red, that means spicy. But for me that means very tasty.

Lawrence and his staff are amazing and always go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The food is incredible - hard to believe where this place is located - - - it should be somewhere more central where more people can partake in the heavenly lambchops and the sublime ly ginger-laden potstickers.....good wine too...a must try!

I live in the neighborhood of where Abacus is located and each time I've been I've found a new dish I like. The pea shoots with garlic sauce are excellent, so much so I tried making them myself at home. The seared ahi tuna with mango is well prepared and the garlic noodles are a wonderful side dish to all the entrees. The tofu with vegetables is probably the tastiest way I've had tofu to date. The textures of the julienned vegetables blended together and enhanced the tofu. The prices won't break the bank and the food is beautifully presented. Particularly the potstickers which are made with a spinach wrapper and are cooked to order and served on a rectangular dish that complements their shape and color. Desserts are good, the mango mousse cake is light, and sweet but not too rich, a perfect ending to the meal.

• Goals and priorities set by the University administration
• Formal requests from the Student Government Association for improved facilities and services
• The University Libraries' need to seek federal funding to expand our digital program
• The University Libraries' need to remain responsive to collaborative initiatives within ARL, ASERL, and NAAL
• Opportunities for the University Libraries to introduce changes proven successful in other research libraries

Letter: Voting for Obama would be wrong
This letter has been amended to make a correction in the first line.
We can go from four years of destruction to four years of construction with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
The only thing Barack Obama has going for him is deceit and falsehoods; he can't win with his record.
We are in a very bad situation and lies will not get us out of this mess we are in. This president is the using such a great smoke screen that people still believe in him. He is nothing but a carnival barker with a great line but no truth to back it up.
He started out with transparency and no spending with small government — all lies. With the few people that I know who voted for Obama not one can tell you of the good he has done for this country. The same line is used by all: George W. Bush got us into this problem really, and what has Obama done to rectify all the mistakes that Bush has?
He has put us in the worst position we have ever been in throughout our history. This president has not even signed a budget. He is the only president to pull this stunt, and it is illegal. His concerns are to rally the people so he may win another term.
Today I met with a friend who said that she voted for Obama and stated that she would do it again. When I tried to explain the shortcomings of Obama, she said she likes him; he is a nice guy.
He is a nice guy but he cannot run this country. Ask the people of Virginia — the coal miners who voted for him; he couldn't even get a handshake from them let alone a vote. To the uniformed voter I say open your eyes and your ears to what is happening to this country. Please do not vote with a closed mind.
May God bless this country, and if Obama wins the presidency we'll need all the help we can get.

Windows 2000 was the last I installed.
This was around about the times of Photoshop 5.5 and SuSe Linux 5.x and Steve Jobs was upping the Mac with the OS X Unix variant.
How anyone besides Gamers and professionals who need specialised Windows-only software would use Windows today is totally beyond me. Windows IMHO combines the downsides of OS X (vendor lock-in) with the downsides of Linux (flaky hw support) and has nothing to offer that OS X, Linux/Ubuntu or Chrome OS can't offer faster, cheaper, freeer, more relyable and/or better.
How MS remains to be relevant is quite amazing. Although I do have the lastest Xbox 360 and all those dirt cheap top-notch games that you can get out of the bargain bin for it. It is pretty near, I have to admit. Anyhow

What I don't get is this: If Rhino Horn powder is such a big deal with so many idiots - why hasn't anybody started breeding them? Sounds like a license to print money to me. Clearly some african nation must've thought of that, no?
Back in the 80ies they were trying a better thing: Tranquilizing Rinos and replacing their horns with artificial ones made of red plastic. The Rinos don't care - they're colorblind and probably like a new horn thats bigger and sturdier than the original. But the poachers won't kill a rino for plastic. Neat idea - why didn't that pan out
Find a feasible FOSS replacement for Flash that enables fast and easy cross-plattform development for performant non-trivial 'good-looking' client applications - and you have a winner. Offer some tacky half-assed JS cross-compiler nonsense, and your new tech won't get off the ground. The Web and DOM tech is a mess enough as it is, without yet another PL/runtime solution thrown into the mix.
However, I remain slightly optimistic that this may be the long awaited not-fucked-up-by-adobe FOSS Flash successor we've been waiting for. All other non-foss contenders failed throughout the last 15 years, but this might have a chance, also since there is nothing else around and the web has taken over as platform of choice due to 80ies style tech fragmentation via the mobile revolution.
Two cents from a senior webdev.
Common User Access Standard.
Enough said.
The very first to start breaking the rules on a broad scale was - curiously enough - Apple with their we're-doing-everything-different-this-time iTunes programm. UI standards basically went steeply downhill from there on. We've moved so far away from standards that it can even take an expert weeks to get familiar with programms (s)he should be able to operate instantly. On top of that, the software manual has disappeared (I'm looking at you, Adobe)
Handling computers has gotten more difficult, no doubt.
Switching positions throughout the day is awesome - for physical and mental health.
Highly recommended. I once worked in an office where everyone had a desk they could electrically lift to standing height. Very cool for quick discussions or standing conding sessions.
Hey, thanks for your honest question.
I hope this answers your question:
I have absolutely nothing against any country or folks in our outside of Europe. And, funny clichees aside, I don't think anybody in Europe has anything against Greece or Italy or any other country. Most Europeans love Europe in its entireity. And also each country on its own, especially the differences. Europe would be quite a boring place if it weren't for those.
As for Greece, no problem at all. I would love for Greece to be a merry member of the Eurozone with no more problems than Germany at the moment. Part of this whole charade being such a waste is that we actually have enough problems in Europe without one country causing so much trouble.
The big problem though is that Greece has been living off emergency (!!) loans for quite some time now and has been unwilling to execute even the most elementary and pressing reforms. Their administration hasn't even started trying! To me and many other observers it seems that the Greek aren't really aware of how dire their situation is. An exit from the Euro is long overdue and I see absolutely no problem with that. Denmark and Norway have both kept their currency and AFAICT they're doing just fine. It's a drag to trade currency when I visit them, and I'd rather not have to, but I'll live and I still like to visit them and take the trading thing as an excersize.
As a currency, the Eurp is a tool. It's supposed to facilitate easyer trade amoung European Countries and move their economies closer together. The implementation of the Euro is buggy, no doubt, and it could've been done better. This Greece thing is an exception no one thought of, for instance.
Bottom line:
Greece has to get its shit together, one way or the other. Just about now is the right time to call it quits and have Greece take the other way. At least that seems to be the broader opinion within the Eurozone and I can't blame them.
Idiots. The whole corrupt and incompetent lot of greek politicians. They frauded their way into the Eurozone and have been dragging their heels ever since. This whole Syriza stunt was the very last straw. They were the worst. They could've gotten real reforms on the way - they had the mandate by the people. Instead they kept fucking and bullshitting around, squandering the very last bit of good will with every gouvernment in the Eurozone. Even Italy is pissed - which actually is quite amazing in itself, because they're are almost right up there with Greece when it comes to mal-administration.
They could've gotten away easy - now they'll be left to their own devices.
At least it's a clear "No" by the people. Better a clear NO that a whishy-washy YES. Tsipras can use this to get some real internal reforms on the way.
Well, at least we can finally make a clear cut. No more money for free for all. No more bizarely overpaid early pensioneers and nepotism. The Eurozone should finally cut their losses, have Greece move back to the Drachma and prepare for humanitarian help, like food supplies and such - at least that money won't be wasted.
Lets finally put the ECB goodies and candy to work for nations who are actually pulling their weight and can use a little help aswell, like some baltic nations.
My 2 eurocents.
In my perception jQuery has basically become the JavaScript standard library.
Basically any combination of frontend toolkits has it included somewhere, so you don't even have to worry about doing that. It's the default for Joomla and Wordpress and there are a measurable amount of functions that take care of the gruntwork and normalize utility across browsers.
On top of that, the amount of JS projects relying on jQuery as a foundation is staggering. The secondary market has tools built around the jQuery ecosystem and the project as a whole does an excellent job at marketing and advocating.
I personally see the next generation in such avantgarde stuff as Googles Polymer (pretty amazing) but until everyone has moved to SPAs and web components - which is not happening any time soon - but until then it's not the worst idea to familiarize yourself with the concepts and the utility funcitons of jQuery.
My 2 cents.
In my experience the biggest problem in software development is people (developers, PMs, stake holders, etc.) not talking to one another. And not talking about the next concrete steps to solution of a problem.
Anything that mitigates this problem is a good thing.
Wether it's pair programming, Scrum (formalised rituals of talking to one another) or this "mob programming" stuff. The problem with these methods is, you always have to keep in mind why you're using them: To solve problem #1 mentioned above. Forget that, and you're back to square one, only now you're wasting your time with rituals no one understands or fails to use productively.
Like punning, programming is a play on words.

Wishing A Happy 2nd Buzziversary To Myself!
I literally just realized this fact because I went on Forbidden`s Buzziversary blog and it made me check mine. Surprise!
Two years ago on this same day I joined this awesome page and community which was a great decission. I missed out on writing this last year so here is my story:
I know Buzznet since early 2010 because I got to love All Time Low then and watched all of the videos with them on YouTube and Buzznet`s hilarious Disneyland videos with Alex and Jack were my favourite. I was hanging around for about a year, checking and liking things on the Facebook page only when Katie contacted me to vote for her in some competition I guess and when To Write Love On Her Arms collaborated with the site for a shirt design contest. It got me inspired and drew this lame thing that I found awesome back then although I couldn`t qualify for the contest because I wasn`t US resident. Whatever. Rules are to break them anyway.
As I slowly started to get to know everything and discover the amazing things shared by amazing people here, I started to comment on other posts and share too about my interests simply to improve my English. I think it worked because I am able to ramble about anything in long sentences now, haha.
And my writings end up on the homepage occasionaly; it is still an amazing feeling. My first featured post was this one about saying goodbye to an era when Harry Potter ended and Aviva featured it. I did too some fashion and outfit posts earlier but I can`t be bothered with those these days (and having good-hair-day for the photos). I rather share my own photos and write about music on my hobby level.
The most amazing thing are still the people I got to know during the years and even met (or will meet) some of them real life. I won`t name (and shame...haha no.) because I don`t want no one to get offended on the fact that I forgot to mention her/his name. I just want you all to know that YOU RULE and BUZZNET RULES!
There is some Easter chocolate for everyone! Now let`s have a gif party!

Futons are a popular and comfortable choice as a versatile seating arrangement for any home. If you like to entertain guests, then a futon is a great place where your friends can sit and turn into a bed when they decide to stay the night. Choosing the right futon is also about selecting the right futon mattress. Make sure that you choose a futon mattress whose texture matches the other fabrics in your décor. A comfortable futon works well in every home, from a small apartment to a multi-purpose guest room.
