This invention relates to protective and decorative coatings for articles, particularly titanium or titanium alloy articles.
It is currently the practice with various brass articles such as lamps, trivets, candlesticks, door knobs, door handles, door escutcheons and the like to fist buff and polish the surface of the article to a high gloss and to then apply a protective organic coating, such as one comprised of acrylics, urethanes, epoxies, and the like, onto this polished surface. While this system is generally satisfactory it has the drawback that the buffing and polishing operation, particularly if the article is of a complex shape, is labor intensive. Also, the known organic coatings are not always as durable as desired, particularly in outdoor applications where the coated articles are exposed to the elements and ultraviolet radiation.
This disadvantage has been remedied by applying a physical vapor deposited coating including a refractory metal nitrogen containing compound wear resistant layer. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,667,904; 5,478,660, inter alia, describe such a coating. This coating has a brass color and includes at least one nickel basecoat deposited directly on the surface of the coated article. The nickel basecoat is deposited by plating. U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,399,219 and 6,391,457 describe vapor deposited coatings containing a polymeric basecoat.
It would be very advantageous if a coating could be provided which had a dark copper color and did not require the nickel or polymeric basecoat, as this would eliminate a cumbersome and expensive plating or polymeric deposition operation. The present invention attains these objectives, particularly with a titanium or titanium alloy substrate.
The present invention is directed to an article or substrate, particularly a metallic article such as stainless steel or titanium, having a multi-layer coating on at least a portion of its surface. The article has deposited on its surface a coating comprised of strike layer of chromium, refractory metal or refractory metal alloy such as titanium-zirconium alloy, over the strike layer is a color layer comprised of titanium-zirconium alloy nitride or carbonitride, over the color layer is deposited a zirconium-titanium alloy oxide or zirconium-titanium alloy oxynitride. The coating is decorative and also provides corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The coating provides the appearance or color of dark copper, i.e., has a dark copper color tone. Thus, an article surface having the coating thereon has a dark copper color with a highly polished or textured surface.
The first layer deposited directly on the article or substrate is an adhesion promoting or strike layer comprised of a metal, preferably chromium, refractory metal or refractory metal alloy. Over the strike layer is an opaque color layer comprised of a titanium-zirconium alloy nitride or carbonitride. This color layer is important to the color of the final product. The top layer is a semi-transparent layer comprised of a titanium-zirconium oxide or titanium-zirconium oxynitride.
The strike layer and color layer are preferably applied by a vapor deposition such as physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view, not to scale, of a portion of an article having the multi-layer coating of the instant invention on its surface.
The article or substrate 11 can be comprised of any material such as plastic, ceramic, metal or metallic alloy. In one embodiment the substrate is a metal or metal alloy such as a titanium alloy. One particularly useful titanium alloy is an alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium which is commercially available as "Ti 6-4".
On the surface of the article 11 is deposited, by vapor deposition such as physical vapor deposition, a thin strike or adhesion promoting layer 21. The adhesion promoting layer is comprised of a metal, preferably chromium, refractory metal or refractory metal alloy. The refractory metals include titanium, zirconium, hafnium, tantalum, and the like. The refractory metal alloys include titanium-zirconium alloy, titanium-hafnium alloy, zirconium-hafnium alloy, and the like. In a preferred embodiment the strike layer 21 is comprised of a titanium-zirconium alloy. The titanium-zirconium alloy is generally comprised of from about 25 to about 75 weight percent zirconium and from about 75 to about 25 weight percent titanium, preferably about 50 weight percent zirconium and about 50 weight percent titanium. Layer 21 has a thickness which is at least effective to promote or improve the adhesion of layer 23 to the substrate surface 11. This thickness is generally from about 60 nm to about 120 nm, preferably from about 80 nm to about 100 nm.
Vapor deposition processes are conventional and well known in the art. They include physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition.
Physical vapor deposition processes are well known and conventional and include cathodic arc evaporation (CAE) or sputtering, and the like. Sputtering techniques and equipment are disclosed, inter alia, in J. Vossen and W. Kern "Thin Film Processes II", Academic Press, 1991; R. Boxman et al, "Handbook of Vacuum Arc Science and Technology", Noyes Pub., 1995; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,162,954 and 4,591,418, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a well known and conventional process. CVD is generally classified into one of three types. The first two are principally predicated upon reactor pressure, and are designated as atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) or low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The first category is referred to as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. CVD processes are disclosed, inter alia, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,782,980; 5,824,365; 5,254,499; 4,803,127; 5,064,686 and 5,571,572, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Over the titanium-zirconium alloy adhesion promoting layer 21 is disposed color layer 23. Color layer 23 is comprised of titanium-zirconium alloy nitride or titanium-zirconium alloy carbonitride.
Layer 23 provides wear and abrasion resistance and the desired copper color, specifically a dark copper color. Layer 23 is deposited on layer 21 by any of the well known and conventional vapor deposition techniques, for example physical vapor deposition techniques such as reactive sputtering and reactive cathodic arc evaporation.
Reactive cathodic arc evaporation and reactive sputtering are generally similar to ordinary sputtering and cathodic arc evaporation except that a reactive gas is introduced into the chamber which reacts with the dislodged target material. Thus, in the case where titanium-zirconium nitride is the layer 23, the cathode is comprised of titanium-zirconium alloy and nitrogen is that reactive gas introduce into the chamber.
Layer 23 has a thickness at least effective to provide wear and abrasion resistance and the dark copper color. Generally, this thickness is at least about 100 nm, preferably about 200 nm. The upper thickness range is not critical and is governed by secondary considerations such as costs and the like. Generally, layer 23 should not be thicker than about 1 micron, preferably about 750 nm.
Over the protective and color layer 23 is deposited by vapor deposition a titanium-zirconium alloy oxide or titanium-zirconium alloy oxynitride 25. The titanium-zirconium alloy oxides and their preparation are conventional and well known in the art. The titanium-zirconium alloy oxynitrides are also conventional and well known in the art. They are comprised of the reaction products of titanium-zirconium alloy, oxygen and nitrogen. The reaction products of titanium-zirconium alloy, oxygen and nitrogen are generally comprised of titanium-zirconium alloy oxide and titanium-zirconium nitride. Layer 25 functions to improve or enhance the chemical resistance of the coating and to enhance the dark copper color of the color layer 23.
Oxide layer 25 can be deposited by well known and conventional vapor deposition techniques, including reactive sputtering and reactive cathodic arc evaporation. In this case the reactive gas may be oxygen. These oxides and their preparation are conventional and well known.
Thin oxide layer 25 has a thickness at least effective to provide improved or enhanced chemical resistance and to enhance the dark copper color. It should not be so thick as to obscure or hide the dark copper color of the color layer 23. Generally, this thickness is at least about 5 nm, preferably at least about 10 nm. The thickness should generally not be greater than about 50 nm, preferably not greater than about 40 nm.
In order that the invention may be more readily understood the following example is provided. The example is illustrative and does not limit the invention thereto.
A cylindrical cathode is mounted in the center of the deposition vacuum chamber and connected to negative outputs of a variable D.C. power supply. The positive side of the power supply is connected to the chamber wall (anode). The cathode material is a titanium-zirconium alloy (50:50 wt %).
Clean, polished stainless steel substrates are mounted on spindles on a ring that rotates around the outside of the cylindrical cathode with two-axis or planetary motion to provide uniform deposition on all sides of the substrate. The spindles are electrically isolated from the chamber and provided with rotatable contacts so that a bias voltage may be applied to the substrates. A pulsed high voltage DC power supply is connected to provide bias to the substrates and is set at a pulsing frequency of 20 kHz and a duty cycle of 50%.
The vacuum chamber is evacuated to a base pressure of 2.0�10−5 Torr.
The substrates are then subjected to an argon ion etch (glow discharge) in which a negative bias of 400V is applied in a 25.0 mTorr argon atmosphere. This glow discharge cleaning step lasts for 10 minutes. The next surface preparation step is a high-bias arc plasma etch in which a negative bias of 500V is applied to the substrates while an arc of 230 amperes is struck and sustained on the cathode. The duration of the high bias cleaning step is 5 minutes. This arc current is maintained throughout the deposition process.
Argon gas is introduced at a rate sufficient to maintain a pressure of about 5.0 mTorr. The substrate bias is reduced to 70V. A layer of titanium-zirconium having an average thickness of 100 nm is deposited in approximately 6 minutes.
The second layer is formed by introducing a 1:4 mixture of AR:N2 to a total pressure of 15.0 mTorr. This forms a 300 nm titanium-zirconium nitride layer in approximately 25 minutes. This layer provides the base color for the finish.
The final semi-transparent oxide layer is formed by introducing a 1:2 mixture of Ar:O2 at a pressure of 2.0 mTorr for approximately 1 to 2 minutes to make a 20 nm thick layer. This layer aids in darkening the color and bringing the right levels of red and yellow to the finished product. The arc is extinguished at the end of this last deposition period, the vacuum chamber is vented and the coated substrates are removed. The "L" value of the color layer 23 should be about 62 (range of 60 to 64), the "a" value should be approximately 12.5 (range of 11 to 14), and the "b" value should be about 18 (range of 16-20).1
1Color measurements were made using a Minolta spectrophotometer using D illumination, 10 degree observer angle with the CIELAB color coordinate system.
Layer 25 should preferably be semi-transparent. Layer 25 will result in an "L" value of about 53 (50 to 56 range), an "a" value of about 18 (range of 16 to 20), and a "b" value of about 23 (range of 20 to 25).
While certain embodiments of the invention have been described for purposes of illustration, it is to be understood that there may be other various embodiments and modifications which fall within the general scope of the invention.

I am pumped to start my new fitness program and when deciding what to have for breakfast, I took a look at the tips that Carrie had given me. The one that really stuck out this morning was NEVER have a meal (or snack) that is protein-less. I wasn't in the mood for anything specific this morning so I looked around my cupboards for inspiration.
I decided that a frozen protein smoothie sounded good and when I found some canned pumpkin, I knew I was on to something. I also grabbed almond milk, frozen bananas, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. I threw it all in the blender and came up with a creamy pumpkin smoothie packed with protein! I was never a huge fan of pumpkin but it has really started to grow on me. I wasn't sure I was ready for a full on pumpkin smoothie but the taste wasn't too aggressive which was perfect.
This definitely hit the spot and got my nutrition in order to start the day. On tap today is my first workout of Phase 1 as well as an easy 3-4 mile run just to get that sweat going. Hopefully all those exercise endorphins will put me in a good mood for the dentist because I DREAD that place so much.
I have a feeling that this week is going to zip by since my friend Carey's wedding is this weekend- The countdown is on! Happy Monday!
What is your favorite flavor or ingredient to experiment with?
Do you have any new workouts or routines coming up or are you just staying consistent with what's working for you now?

New Labor Laws Will Increase Number of Veterans and People with Disabilities Hired
BRADENTON – There is great news for veterans, disabled veterans and non-veterans with disabilities. Beneficial new rulings on regulations will go into effect on March 24, 2014.
In September of this past year, the U.S. Department of Labor's (USDOL) Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCCP) Programs published a final rule that makes changes to certain labor laws. For the past 40 years, it has been prohibited to engage in employment discrimination on the basis of veteran status or disability, however, the new rule establishes specific guidelines for federal contractors and subcontractors to recruit, hire, promote and retain veterans and people with disabilities.
The OFCCP provides compliance assistance to federal contractors to help them develop plans, policies and procedures to implement the regulations.
What specifically does this mean for veterans, disabled veterans and those with disabilities?
As a result of the new rulings, many more businesses will be looking to places such as CareerSource Suncoast to help them recruit and hire veterans and people with disabilities. This presents a tremendous opportunity for the workforce system to improve employment outcomes for these veteran and disabled jobseeker populations and provide a valuable service for business customers of workforce offices as well.
This should also lead to an increase in the number of jobs listed by federal contractors and an assurance that special populations are given precedence in being considered for job postings.
Stuart Taube is an Army Veteran who represents Manatee County veterans and disabled veterans at CareerSource Suncoast to improve employment and training outcomes.

Gordon and Lesa Reeves knew a big job was at hand when they decided to buy the majestic, but dilapidated, house at 311 Cherry St. in Mount Airy and have it restored to former glory.
It would be an understatement to say the former home of Dr. Campbell A. Baird had seen better days. After being constructed in 1913, Baird and his family enjoyed many happy times there in what was considered one of Mount Airy's finer homes of its day, catching attention with its huge Doric columns in front.
The doctor died in 1949 and his wife about 10 years later, and their beloved mansion would embark upon a downward spiral that led to the structure being rented to apartment tenants — and finally occupied by no one at all.
As is the case with any home not lived in, neglect took its toll on the once-elegant house and it gradually deteriorated into a state of major disrepair.
Ownership eventually shifted to a group of about seven heirs who lived out of town, and it was uncertain what the future held for the Baird House as local preservationists held their collective breath.
Until early 2012, that is, when Gordon and Lesa Reeves took their leap of faith. One massive renovation project later, they have landed happily at the century-old home — moving in during July — and for the first summer in many years, family life abounds at the place.
"I can't believe it was just sitting here, waiting to be loved," Lesa Reeves said while giving a visitor a tour of the refurbished two-story Greek Revival home this past week. It reflects the best of old and new, with structural elements such as doors, cabinets, mantles and others either having been replaced or restored to their original integrity, while enhanced by modern appliances.
"I think basically we left the house pretty much the way it was, except we put a screened-in porch on the back," said John Kidwell, a local restoration expert with many years of experience with such projects both locally and in the Washington, D.C., area.
Kidwell estimates that the reconstructed house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which he referred to as a "grand old lady," is 90-percent original. "What we tried to do is save everything we possibly could," he said.
Challenges Posed
"It far exceeded my expectations," Lesa Reeves said of the finished product. "I knew it would be beautiful — but it's far more beautiful than I ever anticipated."
The eye-popping structure that adorns Cherry Street, and Mount Airy's Historic District, did not emerge easily, however.
The bulk of the restoration work came during the colder months at the start of this year, at a time when the contractor suffered with bouts of the flu, bronchitis, pneumonia and bronchitis again. "We worked right through the winter," Kidwell said of himself and a crew numbering four to five people at any given time.
There were pitfalls and unforeseen problems along the way — the kinds of things normally encountered during the restoration of a 100-year-old structure.
Issues with the foundation were uncovered due to the house settling over the years, which Kidwell believes were exacerbated by blasting at the nearby granite quarry. This caused a lot of sinking, he said, requiring the under-structure to be shored up under the purview of a local engineer.
"We did run into a lot of termites," Kidwell said of another setback. Also, five large (6-by-8) beams had to be replaced, along with bases for the large columns out front.
"But they had done a pretty good job on the house," Kidwell said of its original builders and their use of quality materials. None of the joists were replaced, for example.
Assisting with the interior of the project was Lesa Reeves' brother, Greg Goad, who did much of the initial work. "He's the one that tore the house apart," Kidwell said.
"We couldn't use the doors — we had to buy new doors," he added. "But we used every bit of the trim he (Goad) saved."
Kidwell employed equipment in his shop for the home's woodwork, some of which originated in local furniture factories that were in their heyday in 1913.
Vision A Key
The veteran contractor said that when such a project is undertaken, one must have a vision to work toward — even though it might be hard to see at first when everything is in disarray.
"I knew it was going to be a hell of a project, but I knew it was going to be great when we got done," Kidwell said.
It also helped that Gordon and Lesa Reeves had a vision as well, which included much research on their part. "It makes a job go really well when a client knows what they want," Kidwell said.
Despite living in Rural Hall, where the couple already had bought a home but put it on the market when they decided to purchase and renovate the Baird House, Lesa Reeves visited the reconstruction site "just about every day."
Reeves works as a regional human resources director from an office inside her new home, which has 13 rooms in all and 3,275 square-feet. Her husband is employed in the electronics field.
In instances when a decision had to be made on trying to get by with what was there or tearing it out, the couple went with the latter option to ensure the end result would be perfect. "And that was a wise decision," Kidwell said.
Special Touches
Along with ornate woodwork of its mantles and cabinets and other features, and high ceilings popular during the early 1900s, one of the more-striking aspects of the revamped home is new hand-scraped maple floors throughout.
The walls are painted in soft shades of colors such as green and brown, although Lesa Reeves pointed out that her son Chandler's room is done in that of his new school, Mount Airy Bears blue. The shade was matched perfectly by the Sherwin-Williams store here.
Another room is occupied by the family's pets, cats Hansel and Gretl and dog Sam.
Kidwell added that Sherwin-Williams, "realizing that this was a historic-project for the city, wanted to be involved and as a result donated all of the exterior paint and furnished all of the interior special colors selected by the owner."
Support of the local business community didn't end there, Kidwell said. "Riverside Building Supply furnished most of the building materials and worked with us regarding special-ordered items."
Gordon and Lesa Reeves have added interior-decorating touches throughout the house, including an antique radio and telephone, among other older items. "I just love the history," she said.
During the renovations, a number of artifacts were uncovered, including a large old spoon engraved with the letter "B," coins, marbles, a highway map from 1936 (when the statewide speed limit was 35 mph), a Christmas card sent to the Bairds' daughter and even a 1946 copy of the Greensboro newspaper.
"That was actually stuffed in an old flue," Lesa Reeves said of the latter. She plans to have a local business develop a framed display of the items so they can be enjoyed by visitors.
Pointing out that the house is still somewhat of a work in progress, Lesa Reeves is looking forward to decorating it for the holiday season when the restored mansion will be on a local Christmas tour of homes.
Some folks haven't been able to wait for the official tour, however, as word of the work has spread.
"There's hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't want to stop and look at the house," Lesa Reeves said.
Naturally, a huge price tag has accompanied the endeavor.
The historic property was listed for sale at $165,000. At the first of this year, the cost for renovations was put at $350,000.
"Let's just say we went over budget — and leave it at that," Lesa Reeves said with a smile.
But by all accounts, everyone involved is happy with the result. This includes Kidwell, who said he is fortunate to have been part of a project that has provided a rewarding experience for him personally in watching the progress on the house from beginning to end.
"It's really gratifying to have been a part of this history."
One can only wonder what the original owners might think if they were alive today, but Kidwell is confident he knows the answer.
"I believe the Bairds would be pleased with the result."

A jovial group of Knicks made the short trip to Temple University on Friday afternoon for an optional practice. Following a big road win over Boston last night, the squad was all smiles and enjoyed a session filled with 4-on-4 games and individual drills. The importance of the practice was not lost on the players or the head man in charge with another important Eastern Conference tilt on the horizon and another key component of the team returning to the floor.
Raymond Felton participated in full-contact games and he said the doctors will take a look at his pinky after the practice to ultimately provide the green light for him to play on Saturday night.
"I got hit on it a few times and I actually swiped down on the ball really hard down in the post and it didn't really hurt," Felton explained. "Hopefully that's a good sign."
Felton has spent the past four weeks on the sidelines waiting for his fractured pinky to heal. Meanwhile, the Knicks have adjusted their lineups to counter the loss of their starting point guard. Felton believes the time is right for his return and the mix of Imam Shumpert, Amar'e Stoudemire, and the rest of the New York crew to gain chemistry before the midseason showcase in Houston.
"That's big for us," Felton declared. "It's going to give us a chance to get a few games in with each other, a few practices with each other, and on top of that get a good break, everybody get their legs back from under them, everybody get healthy, and come back from the All-Star break and really get rolling."
Carmelo Anthony was pleased to see his point man back directing the offense at Friday's practice. The Knicks leading scorer says Felton's presence will help alleviate pressure and minutes on the 39-year old Jason Kidd.
"It takes some slack off of Jason Kidd, gives him some rest and we pretty much get back to how we started the season," Anthony added.
Kidd received treatment for a sore back after he logged 32 minutes in the win over the Celtics on Thursday evening in Boston.
Head coach Mike Woodson confirmed to reporters that he will place Felton in the starting lineup next to Shumpert, James White or Chris Copeland, Anthony, and Tyson Chandler. The strength and firepower of New York's bench is now poised to make a tremendous impact.
"When you have two threats like Amar'e and J.R. coming off with Novak being able to make shots, I think with Raymond being back it could open some things for Novak a little bit more," Woodson acknowledged. "The offense seemed to flow pretty good when Raymond was playing in terms of Novak being out on the floor and sometimes them leaving him and not leaving him. To have all three of those guys coming off the bench scoring helps us."
The Knicks face the 76ers in Philadelphia tomorrow night at 7 PM on MSG Networks.

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2.

Wednesday, November 5th at Cal State Fullerton, 7:00 p.m. (Titan Stadium)
Saturday, November 8th vs. UC Irvine, 2:30 p.m. (Matador Field)
Wednesday, October 29th vs UC Santa Barbara, L, 3-1
Saturday, November 1st at UC Riverside, W, 3-1
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Fresh from their 3-1 come-from-behind victory at UC Riverside last Saturday, the Matadors (7-6-4, 3-2-3 BWC) will travel to Cal State Fullerton (4-13-1, 1-6-1 BWC) for their final road game of the season Wednesday evening.
Kick-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
Matador soccer fans who cannot make the trip to Titan Stadium Wednesday evening can still follow all the action online, in real-time. Visit gomatadors.com to access the link that will enable you to watch the streaming video of Wednesday's match, or follow the game via Gametracker.
With five teams fighting for only four available slots in the inaugural Big West Men's Soccer Postseason Soccer Tournament, a victory over the struggling Titans would help boost the Matador's chance of making the tournament.
Currently in fifth place, Northridge is only one point behind UC Irvine in the standings; these two teams will meet next Saturday at Matador Field in the final game of the regular season for both teams.
Head Coach Terry Davila knows just how important this week is, and refuses to let anyone on his team worry about anything else other than their next opponent.
"The Irvine match will not even matter unless we perform well against Fullerton," stated Davila. "Fullerton is a tough opponent, who plays very well at home; we know we are in for a dogfight."
When these two teams last met, it took a spectacular offensive effort from forward Camilo Rojas who not only tied the game in the 82nd minute, but also scored the game-winning goal with only :24 seconds left in double-overtime.
The Matadors needed to erase a one-goal deficit on two separate occasions during that match before netting the winning goal, something junior defenseman Chad Borak remembers well.
"We are going to come out strong this time and play our type of game," echoed Borak. "It is tough to earn a win on the road, we know that we are going to have to dig deep to play well as a team, and score some goals."
With a win on Wednesday, Northridge will extend their winning streak to eight games over the Titans. Even though the Matadors have not lost a game at Titan Stadium since 1994, Borak and the rest of his teammates are aware that anything can happen.
"We need to just worry about this next game before anything else. We are just taking things one game at a time right now."
This Saturday's match against UC Irvine will be the final regular-season home match for three Matador seniors - defenders Bo Miller, Ben Cox, and goalkeeper Kevin Guppy. Even though kick-off is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure their seats for Senior Day at Matador Field.

Villa recovered from conceding an early goal to run out convincing winners at Emirates Stadium thanks to Christian Benteke's brace and debutant Antonio Luna's late goal.
Agbonlahor was an influential figure in the victory as he was twice brought down for penalties and was described as 'unplayable' by manager Paul Lambert.
The 26-year-old has been rediscovering his best form in 2013, but is taking nothing for granted ahead of Villa's return to the capital to face Chelsea on Wednesday.
"I feel good," Agbonlahor told Sky Sports. "I had a disappointing season two years ago, but the last two seasons have been better.
"It's nice to get off to a good start, but it's only one game and we'll not get ahead of ourselves. We'll just take that to Chelsea."
Arsenal were unhappy with the award of the second penalty, but Agbonlahor is confident the referee made the right decision after he was felled by Laurent Koscielny.
He added: "I thought it was a penalty. He might have got a little contact on the ball, but to slide in the box and not make clear contact with the ball, the ref has got to give it from his view."
Villa are tipped for bright things this season after surviving a brush with relegation last term, and Agbonlahor has praised the spirit within Lambert's squad.
"I think people wrote us off, with a young side and with players that people hadn't really heard of," continued Agbonlahor.
"We showed today that, if you've got the team spirit and everybody works together, you can get a result anywhere and we've proved that."

DURHAM, N.H. -- David Schlatter (Marlton, N.J.) of the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team has been featured in the Wildcat nomination as the America East Photo of the Year, announced Friday.
The America East Photo of the Year was narrowed down to a field of 50 pictures, which included a total of nine UNH photos.
Nominations were submitted via Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #AEPhotoOfTheYear and at-mentioning America East (@AmericaEast). The nomination process began Monday, June 9 and concluded Monday June, 16.
First round voting on AmericaEast.com narrowed down the ballot to 10 photos, which included six UNH pictures. Fan voting in the semifinal round selected the three finalists.
In the final poll, Schlatter's volley attempt trumped another UNH nomination featuring the "I Believe in UNH" banner held by fans in the America East Volleyball Championship match against the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Furthermore, the photo garnered more votes over the women's track & field quartet from of the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The America East Photo of the Year received 893 votes in the final round and nearly doubling the amount over the runner-up submission from UMass Lowell (484).
The photo, captured by Michelle Bronner, senior associate athletic director for compliance/senior woman administrator at UNH, features Schlatter fending of University of Hartford's Damian Lowe under the lights at Bremner Field on Oct. 16. New Hampshire went on to down the Hawks, 2-0.
A special thanks to goalkeeper Travis Worra (Lancaster, Pa.) for nominating the conference's Photo of the Year.

NEW DELHI, India 6/20/12 (PennWell) -- A shortage of coal has led Indian steelmaker Jindal Power Ltd. to announce its plan to spend US$7.7 billion on hydroelectric projects over the next decade, HydroWorld.com has learned.
The investment would create 6,100 MW of hydropower capacity in India's Arunachal Pradesh.
"The biggest positive for us will be that for the next 45 years, we will have plants that run steady without troubles coal-fired ones face," Jindal official Jayant Shrinivas Kawale told an Indian news source.
Jindal says clean energy incentives being offered by India's state and federal governments are one motivating factor for the switch.
Currently, about 60% of the country's energy is produced by coal, although the government allows hydro operators to sell as much as 40% of their output at market rates instead of the state-administered rates faced by other forms of energy.
Jindal says it hopes to have approval for its first project within a year, with commissioning of that project within seven years.
HydroWorld.com reported in April that India's power ministry has set a goal of adding 10,000 MW of hydroelectric power generation within the next five years. Indian state Jammu and Kashmir also recently announced its commitment to adding 8,000 MW of hydropower capacity in the next decade.

Pentagon Press Secretary George Little provided the following readout:
"Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel met with Spain's Minister of Defense Pedro Morenès today during the NATO Defense Ministerial.
"Secretary Hagel praised Spain for its critical support for a number of U.S. national security priorities, for its role as a NATO ally, and expressed his appreciation for Spain's support and sacrifices in Afghanistan.
"Secretary Hagel also noted that because of Spain's agreement to host four Aegis ships at Rota, the alliance is significantly boosting its combined naval capabilities in the Mediterranean, which will offer increased opportunities to partner on exercises, training, and maritime operations, and ultimately enhance both regional and global security.
"Secretary Hagel thanked Minister Morenès for its recent agreement to host a U.S. Marine crisis response unit for at least one year, which will allow the United States to provide rapid and responsive support to U.S. embassy staff in the U.S. Africa and U.S. Central Commands, as needed. The two secretaries agreed that their staffs will continue to seek ways to broaden and deepen our important bilateral defense relationship."

BISHOP, Ga. - The No. 7 Georgia equestrian team upset the No. 3 Auburn Tigers with a final score of 11-8 on Saturday afternoon at the UGA Equestrian Complex in Bishop, Ga. The win marks the first time Georgia has defeated Auburn in regular season competition since the 2011-2012 season. With the victory, Georgia improves to 8-3 on the season and 4-2 in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers move to 7-3 overall with a 2-2 notch in the SEC. Also with the win, Georgia can be seeded no less than a tie for first place in the SEC Championship.
Highlighting the meet were Liza Finsness (Equitation on the Flat), Rachel Kolb (Horsemanship), and McKenzie Lantz (Reining) who were awarded with MOP honors.
"Today was a very exciting day," said head coach Meghan Boenig, "I was impressed with the level of riding we saw and our riders maintained their focus and executed great rides. This was a great competition to prepare us for the upcoming SEC and National Championships."
Auburn edged Georgia 3-2 in Equitation Over Fences. Finsess put up an MOP-earning ride over Auburn's Christina Lin with a 87-85 decision. Auburn took the next point before Meg O'Mara delivered an 85-83 performance over Jennifer Waxman. Auburn used winning rides from Demi Stiegler and Elizabeth Benson to seal the event 3-2.
In Horsemanship Georgia took a commanding lead, winning the first four points of the event. Kolb got things started by outscoring Lacy Watson 75.5-74 and was awarded MOP honors. A 75.5-74 victory by Paige Stawicki and a 74-65.5 decision from Anna Sasser gave Georgia a 3-0 lead. Sara Parr defeated Stephanie Rucci 75-70 before the Tigers earned their lone point by Lucy Igoe. After two events, Georgia took a 6-4 advantage over Auburn.
The Bulldogs dropped a 3-2 decision to the Tigers in Equitation on the Flat. Auburn grabbed the first point but Finsness answered with an 85-73 victory over Ashley Foster. Auburn's Stiegler and Benson took the next two points, before Olivia Dorey put up a winning ride over Jennifer Delman with a score of 85.
Georgia's Reining squad delivered a 3-1 victory to help seal the meet 11-8. Claudia Spreng rode to a tie with Griffin Knight with 68.5 points each. Charley Thiel grabbed her point with a 68.5-68 decision over Cheyenne Crafcraft. Lantz used a 71-70 decision and was awarded with MOP honors. Lauren Tieche took the final point of the day outscoring Hailey Munger 68.5-67.
The Bulldogs will return to action Friday, March 7 when they host New Mexico State. It will be the final home meet of the season and Georgia will honor its 23 seniors on Senior Day.

Full detailed profile on Dr. Bob Hughes Played by Don Hastings on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Don Hastings
Birthday: April 1 1934
As Alison packs, Bob enters and asks for the truth about Kim. She tells him he was alone with her and adjusted Kim's IV drip. Bob tells her he will clear her name and she can go back to work. He then asks her to keep the information to herself! Alison thinks he needs to see a doctor. Bob tells her he will just do administrative duties for the time being and his episodes will pass. He reminds her he came back from his mini-stroke before and will not endanger any patients. Alison agrees to keep their conversation quiet, if he will talk to a specialist about his episodes.
Tom and Casey see Alison working and Tom demands to know why she is at the hospital. She retorts that he should talk to Bob. Casey tells Tom to lay off her case and he is with her. Bob approaches Tom and tells him that Alison is not a liability. As Tom talks, Bob grows dizzy and his vision becomes blurred. Tom asks what is wrong, as he totally spaces out! Bob comes through and tells Tom he is handling things his way, but not to worry because everything will be fine.
Bob goes back to Kim's room. Kim wants to go home, and Bob tells her he will talk to the boss. She laughs that he is the boss and he smiles that makes things easy. After he leaves the room, he cancels his appointment with the neurology specialist.
Bob is puzzled as to what happened to Kim. A nurse arrives with the lab work, which shows ten times too much medication! Alison tells Bob that he did it! Alison tells Bob she respects him too much not to tell him the truth and he adjusted Kim's drip. Bob thinks she is trying to pin the blame on someone else. Alison calmly tries to recount the events of the previous day, but Bob tells her none of it happened and she needs to be screened for drugs! He angrily storms off to check on Kim, and Alison calls Casey and tells him that Bob needs his family.
Bob tells Kim he will always take care of her. Alison enters the room and informs him that his family has arrived. Bob steps outside and tells his family that Kim was given an overdose, but they caught it in time. Tom is puzzled since Bob was by her side the entire time. Bob tells them he took a short break, and another nurse tells the family that Alison was in the room with Kim alone! Tom asks Alison if she decided to go after Kim twice in one day. Alison cries that she never meant for any of this to happen. Tom orders her to leave or he will have her arrested! Alison runs away, and Bob wants to focus on caring for his wife.
Riley shows Bob how to use his pager and offers to walk with him back to the hospital.
Casey tells Alison that they can't find Bob. Tom, Margo, Bob and Riley all arrive. Tom informs Bob that Kim had a heart attack! Casey asks Alison what she was doing with Kim. She admits she was trying to talk to her about Bob's mistake. Casey is livid, but Riley steps in and tells him he told Alison to talk to someone. Casey becomes even angrier and storms off.
As Bob is going over Kim's chart, he tells Alison he wants another nurse working on the case. Kim wakes up and tells Bob she is tired. Tom tells her she gave them a scare and she says she wanted to keep them on their toes. Bob orders her to get some rest and asks Tom, Margo and Casey to come back when Kim is stronger. Bob tells them his place is with Kim and wild horses couldn't drag him away.
At Kim's bedside, Bob gets up and begins to fiddle with Kim's tubes. Alison arrives and wants to talk to him. They step outside and she tells him that what happened to Kim was partly her fault! She explains that she was at the studio with Kim when she collapsed. Bob knows Alison's concern for him is genuine, but knows he would never have made a mistake. Bob also informs her that Kim had a pre-existing heart condition and Alison's help probably saved her life. Alison thanks him for sharing the information and leaves.
Alison goes to check on Kim and sees that she has gone into arrest! She asks the other nurse to get Bob immediately and begs Kim to stay with them! Bob rushes in and asks what happened. Bob asks who was the last one in with Kim and doesn't remember when Alison tells him he was!

I was at a 3-day conference at the Marriott Wardman Park and my group and I were getting sick of hotel/conference food so ventured to this restaurant nearby. I was with a group and did not complain, but the steak they served me was rawhide and well done, though I ordered it medium rare. The waitress asked why I didn't eat much of it and I told her the above. She didn't seem to care. No discount on the bill. The creme broulet was glorified pudding. I guess they mostly make their business off transients at the hotel so don't care.

The facts speak for themselves. Great infusion of flavors; wide variety of prices and tastes, and each dish is delicious. The staff is professional and personable! As a foodie, I eat out to try things I don't cook at home. At Medaterra, I've not once had a dish I didn't enjoy! Kudos to Angie & her Mom. Your pride & dedication keep locals like me coming back; and are tops on my list to recommend to others!

MOVIE REVIEW: Futurama: Bender's Game
SUMMARY: Nice title, makes us everyday geeks look quite normal...
So basically, we have the third installment of four promised Futurama films after the abrupt end to the television series. Matt Groening does not aim to disappoint in this. The story has absolutely NOTHING to do with the first two, other than the return to a focus on Bender.
Politically motivated by the (at the time) skyrocketing oil prices, the focus of the plot is the shortage of dark matter, and "Mom" being a profiteer, hoarding stockpiles of the stuff. Doctor Farnsworth starts a ban on the crew taking the Planet Express ship for anything other than on jobs to save money.
Aside from that, Cubert, Walt and a couple of new faces, spend their days playing a superbly awesome round of Dungeon's and Dragons...a game I know absolutely nothing about. Here comes Bender, assuming it's a round of child-gambling and wants in...only to find out he just doesn't come built with an imagination.
The thing I love about these Futurama films is Matt Groening and David Cohen's ability to make fun of SO MANY things in SO LITTLE time. The first ten minutes, I could count six different major media topics that managed to get satired in the film. Imagine how the rest of the film pans out.
Fans of Futurama will not be disappointed. The film aims to please to all the true-blue geeks out there who enjoy excessively intelligent/borderline comiccon-style humor that more or less makes Mort Goldman look like a stud...
I am really looking forward to how the fourth one ends up. :-)
This film is nothing special. The excitement of the first film carried the second but they need to try harder with the forth to make it a success. Not worth buying yourself, watch it at a friends house.
I'm a huge fan of Futurama, and was looking forward to these straight to video movies. So far Bender's Big Score and The Beast with a Billion Backs were decent, but didn't capture the essence of what made Futurama such a great show. Instead of expanding on the show, those two films spent most of their lengths referencing various jokes and sight gags from the series.
Bender's Game isn't perfect, but it is the closest Futurama movie to match what it is I love about the series. The jokes are far better than the previous two, and the film is able to create some very memorable moments. While there are a few references to the television series, this film doesn't spend as much time like the previous two films did trying to remind us about what we already know and love about Futurama.
I thought the pacing to this film was a lot better than The Beast with a Billion Backs, which took far too long to get interesting. Plus, the film successfully mixes a lot of different characters into its storyline perfectly. And I like some of the twists and turns along the way.
You can tell the writers and animators of Futurama are among the biggest nerds around. The series has made many references to "Dungeons and Dragons," and it was nice to see them finally be able to do an entire story inspired by the game. Also, the film is very hilarious with its many references to other sci-fi and fantasy films and television shows. I think my favorite, though not really sci-fi or fantasy, was the Yellow Submarine opening to the film.
I don't know how many films are lined up for Futurama, but if they could make more like Bender's Game I would be a lot happier. Bender's Game is a fantastic animated movie, and one of the best straight to video releases this year. It's films like this why I started my Best Straight to Video/Made for Television category for my Thirdman Awards.
I reccomend this film for any futurama fans. You get served a nice platter of comedy, it's just the thing you need to end a relaxing day or to brighten up a horrible one. You will be in stitches from laughing throughout the course of the movie. This will also please many lord of the ring fans out there!!! The dvd also comes with a tonne of amusing extra features such as mixing the characters together or how to draw bender and so on. I extremely enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again with a few of my friends to share the experience!
:fresh: Outstandly enjoyable!
As the series of feature-length Futurama films Fox has optioned for DVD winds to a close, it's becoming more and more evident that the writers are back in their comfort zone. Last week's release-Futurama: Bender's Game-carried an extended Dungeons & Dragons parody (a joke that, not unlike most of Family Guy's zingers, is about twenty years past the expiration date but which the show's target audience will still enjoy) and a lot of poop jokes, but peppered in a number of sociopolitical jabs, too, bluntly enough so anyone can get them but not with enough malice or passion to make those who disagree, really care much.
The movie-which, like its forebears Bender's Big Score and The Beast With a Billion Backs, will eventually hit the airwaves as four episodes toward a new and potentially resuscitory season of the canceled TV show-revolves around a fuel crisis that has been artificially created by frequent series antagonist "Mom," whose Mombil Dark Matter fuel stations are posting record profits all while claiming that there is a shortage of the fuel and that she may close up shop any day because of the cost overruns. The interview in which she proclaims this is conducted by Morbo in what I think is my least favorite sequence of the picture (Morbo should not be sitting down to sip tea. That joke should have gone on for the two seconds it was funny and then Morbo should have reverted to his usual self, which in the Victorian setting would have been even funnier than usual).
Professor Farnsworth-who developed the fuel during his days as a scientist-for-hire and lover-for-fun under Mom-decides to break the back of her monopoly by utilizing a pseudoscientific device that he has which will simultaneously render all of the Dark Matter fuel in the universe inert. The resultant catastrophe in the intergalactic fuel supply, he reasons, will force scientists to confront the problem and develop better, more responsible and egalitarian fuel solutions.
There are a couple of notable subplots here-the first being that Professor Farnsworth, whom I do not remember ever interacting substantially with Mom's sons before, expresses his deep loathing for the oafish trio (and particularly for the youngest, saying essentially that the evil and cruelty that the elder pair bring with them is irritating, but the stupidity of the youngest is an affront to the species). From about ten minutes into the picture, Mom starts telling the older boys that there is a dark and horrible secret which has long been kept from the youngest of her sons-and it's clear to anyone whose synapses are firing what that secret probably is.
The second (and the impetus for the title as well as a lengthy plot-irrelevant diversion) is that Hermes' and Farnsworth's clones have finally returned. Seen here for what I believe is the first time since the end of the TV show, these little shark-jumpers lay the tracks for Bender to become swallowed up in another one of his own mad schemes. Thinking that Dungeons & Dragons is the kind of game that he can somehow use to grift money from the kids, he joins them and quickly realizes that he has no imagination programming. The kids instruct him that Everyone has an imagination-that all he has to do is immerse himself in the fiction. Of course, the result is that Bender Is swallowed into the fiction completely, taking on the name and persona of his character while living day-to-day life and terrorizing everyone in the office with a sword and any number of random items that substitute for a shield throughout.
At some point in the film-and after two viewings I still can't completely wrap my head around how or why, other than, "It's what the writers wanted to do," the whole lot of characters are thrown into the fantasy world of Bender's imaginings and about forty minutes' worth of plot happens there. Ultimately it resolves little besides a silly and dull story beat about Leela having an anger-management problem. When the diversion ends (with the Planet Express crew literally fighting a dragon in a dungeon, natch), the plot picks up from roughly where it had left off, with little explanation and minimal impact on the rest of the film, which plays out as people grow, dirty little secrets are revealed and just about everyone swallows something unsavory, only to have it explode or degrade in their tummy.
The film is certainly enjoyable to fans of the show-there's a concern, though, that it might be too insular. Certainly it's the most continuity-intensive movie yet, with very little in the way of introducing any of the characters and a lot of dependency on your knowledge of not just Futurama, but Dungeons & Dragons as well. Whether, when the show returns for its tentative resurrection, audiences will tune into this chunk of the season will likely define whether the whole project is a success or failure-and I'd say right now that it could fall either way.
It was a waste of an hour and 20 minutes. It wasn't even funny.
Benders Game, the third straight to video offering since Futurama went off the air (soon to return to Comedy Central I hear, woohoo), is the weaker than the first two. The story tries to mine for laughs in the fantasy genre. One would think the laughs would come rolling one after another form the seemingly bottomless pit of material, but I thought the story really lacked humor and cohesiveness. Enough entertainment value to get a luke-warm passing grade from me, but this one really seems to be mailed in.
Not that good.But it is sometimes really entertaining.

Don't Panic, It Wasn't Lil' Kim
By Mark Memmott
Originally published on Mon December 19, 2011 12:28 pm
Just the headline of this Buzz Feed post made us laugh.
It's funny either way:
-- If some folks were confused by the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
-- Or if they were just making mischief.
The latter appears more likely — or at least it's the reason the whole thread got started. According to The Wall Street Journal's Digits blog:
"Shortly after Kim's death, cultural critic N'Gai Croal was one of the first to jump-start the meme, 'RIP, Lil' Kim,' he tweeted. Thousands more followed."
When he did that, N'Gai Croal also linked to a Bloomberg News story about the Korean leader's death.

Last week I took a trip to NGS 2011 in Charleston, SC thinking I was to be meeting a few people and attending but finding out when I arrived that I would be presenting a class.
I had a Netbook - 10 inch - no projector - and I found out no internet.
I created a powerpoint presentation but had no way to show in any visible way. NGS hooked me up with a projector - thank you!
I really needed the internet in order to teach some basics about Commission Junction, WorldVitalRecords.com and Blogger but to do that I needed a wifi connection of some sort.
I drove over to the Local TMobile store and asked them for help since I had unsuccessfully tried to install PDANet to tether to my netbook. Tanya was there that day and started looking for answers. She not only painstakingly got PDANet to work but she also installed a program called easy tether and then to top it off she and Bret also from TMobile fixed various problems on my phone - downloaded and installed Android vs. 2.2 and after much trouble convinced my phone to install it. At that point Android 2.2 allowed me to simply turn on a wifi signal which I now use whenever I need a connection.
Needless to say most people would have given up after 10 or 15 minutes - these two took turns not just downloading and installing but researching a variety of problems as this is a new version and this upgrade had not been performed many times before in their store.
My class went well and many new affiliates have started blogs - created CJ accounts and started sending affiliate clicks.
Thank you Tanya Martinez and Bret Lucarelli for going beyond what was expected and really helping me out.

About Ford Explorer
Better than a van, the Ford Explorer was the trend setter for a new kind of SUV that delivered versatility, comfort, affordability, and style for the average consumer. One of the best choices for a family-oriented SUV, Explorer car parts are designed for optimal fuel economy. Explorer body parts used to be built body-on-frame, but switched to an unibody architecture in 2011 for better space efficiency and handling. In 2002, the Explorer was completely redesigned to have rounded wheel sockets, larger back lights, and a more rounded appearance in general. The 2004 model saw the addition of Ford's Roll Stability Control system as a standard part.
