Handmade Trips to France - We'll Plan Your Trip to France especially for you.
For your personalized vacation in France
Planning a trip to France needn't be a stressful undertaking. It ought to be a pleasure. But it is easy to understand how frustration can lead to stress when you have a limited amount of time available for this vacation to France and are presented with so many choices of places to visit and places to stay. If you have a week available for your trip to France, or two weeks, or even three or more weeks, which regions should you include, which cities and towns, castles and vineyards, D-Day sites, abbeys, museums or art galleries? What about a sampling of French life off the beaten track? Where does one find out about that? You might ask: Should I spend time exploring any of the hundreds of villages listed as among the Most Beautiful Villages of France? Should I to take in two or three of the long list of Small Towns of Character? Where should I stay? What will I eat, especially if I can't understand the menu? Should I stay at hotels or B & Bs? And then which ones? Will it matter if my French isn't strong, or even non-existent? Soon enough, you will discover that the choices are endless.
People say you could spend a lifetime vacationing in France and not see or appreciate all of it. We have lived here for nine years and believe that that it is true. Fortunately, no limits are imposed upon the number of visits you can make to this beautiful land of France. You may be a first time traveler to France, or you may have been here many times before. Whatever your particular situation, you must still ask: what should I realistically try to see and do during my limited amount of time in France?
This is where we, that is, Susan and I, at Handmade Trips to France, can help. Whether you are planning a trip to France of seven, fourteen, twenty-one or some other number of days, we will plan and your entire itinerary. We can do it for you entirely, including accommodation bookings, food bookings, daily sight-seeing itineraries; we can factor in your travel time between destinations, plan in free time for resting up, get you to the places everyone knows and visits, and to some of those known only to the locals. We can ensure that everywhere you stay, everywhere you eat, you will be understood, and yet still experience the thrill of being in France and immersed in its rich and diverse culture.
How are we able to do this? Well, here is a little background about us. Susan is an American from the state of New York, and I am a Londoner, and spent twenty years of my professional life in the United States. While we were both lawyers in New York, we are fine now, having fully recovered from that, and have spent the past fourteen years in the Tourism/Hospitality industry. When we made the change from the law, we owned hotels in the United Kingdom, and subsequently moved to France. We made that move nine years ago. We have raised our family here, and have become thoroughly immersed in French culture and the way of life. We have enjoyed operating a successful B & B in Normandy for the past seven years, meeting and hosting wonderful people from all over the world. Prior to our move to France, we vacationed here sometimes seven or eight times a year. In fact, we even came for our honeymoon! I can safely say that we know France pretty well. In addition, we have developed a superb network of relationships with B & B and restaurant owners all over this wonderful land of France. During our professional lives, we developed high and exacting standards. We have come to know what you, the traveling public, deserve and expect. Now, at Handmade Trips to France, we offer to pass on to you the benefit of our high standards and experience and are certain that we can plan for you a wonderful and memorable trip to France.
Two of the most important of keys to the successful planning of a trip to France are (1) to try and limit the amount of driving time between destinations, and (2) choosing accommodation that is centrally located within each region to be explored so that it isn't necessary to change lodgings too frequently. There's nothing worse than starting a vacation tired, and then pressing too hard. Our aim is to plan your trip to France so that you can enjoy every aspect of it while feeling relaxed. As an example, I can think of one couple of guests at our B & B guests who made the long transatlantic flight, picked up a car in Paris, drove three hours straight to us in Normandy, stayed one night intending to see all that this fascinating region has to offer in a day, and stay the next night in the Luberon, more than 10 hours away. That's crazy! France is a pretty big country and traveling around it needs careful planning.

This shade is part of the Colour range, so it is designed to be more pigmented–and it is at nearly opaque coverage–than the original range of Rouge Coco Shines. It wears for four hours, which average, and is lightly hydrating. Urban Decay Fiend is warmer. MAC Please Me is lighter. Chanel Belgravia is darker, cooler-toned. Le Metier de Beaute Fuji is cooler-toned. See comparison swatches.

What are the four general expectations that may distort perception.
1 Answer | Add Yours
I answered your identical question from the perspective of jurors' expectations, since you do not specify. I will answer this one in regard to law enforcement.
Four expectations that may distort perception include a suspect's prior record, previous encounters with the suspect, whether the officer has caught the perpertrator in a lie, thus clouding his or her perception of further statements, and finally, personal prejudices the officer may have, whether he or she is overtly aware of those prejudices or not.

Despite unintentionally comedic lines like "If the earth dies, you die, if you die, the earth survives," this remake of 1951's The Day The Earth Stood Still ruled the weekend box office. Somehow Keanu Reeves' vacant stares and deadpan line delivery continue to bring in the dough. See the clip above, where Keanu the Alien explains to Jennifer Connelly that her species must die to save the world. Not even Will Smith's adorable son, Jaden, can save this sci-fi silliness.

It is one of the most important works which needs perfect timing. For this follow this Thanksgiving dinner plan -
- One month before the dinner - Buy a turkey according to the number of guests. Freeze it and prepare the stock for gravy.
- Two weeks before the dinner - Make cheesecakes and freeze. Prepare dough for the crust of the pie, roll and make the crust and freeze. Prepare stuffing for the turkey.
- Within one week of the dinner - Prepare cranberry sauce, defrost the turkey, and prepare other dishes. Thaw the piecrust and cheesecake and refrigerate.

Avondale, Ariz. (March 3, 2013) – Greg Biffle started 17th in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 and after leading for 39 laps during the race had to settle for a 17th-place finish in his No. 16 3M Novec Ford Fusion. Biffle's Ford ran well out front, but was plagued with handling issues in traffic. The finish was enough to remain sixth in the point standings heading into next weekend at Vegas.
Biffle started 17th but was battling a loose handling Ford. Just 50 laps into the 312-lap event, pit strategy put him to the front and he was able to lead the field for 39 laps. Under caution on lap 100 Biffle pitted for four tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment. Many competitors took just two tires, compared to his four, costing him valuable track position.
The loss of track position on the stop combined with handling woes left Biffle in traffic the rest of the race. Crew chief Matt Puccia tried different tire combinations, along with air pressure, wedge and track bar adjustments, but nothing corrected the problem. The 3M Pit Bulls turned out fast stops throughout the race and look to rebound next weekend in Vegas.
Biffle's Roush Fenway teammate Carl Edwards won the Subway Fresh Fit 500, while Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top five. Next up the Sprint Cup Series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Kobalt Tools 400, coverage begins at 2:30 PM ET on FOX.

It's been an immense joy to watch the rise of Foster The People over the last few months. Since we added them our roster of You Oughta Know artists back in June, the band has exploded in popularity and become arguably the most popular debut artist of the year 2011. The guys were cool enough to let us tail them for a day at the Austin City Limits Festival last weekend, and we're psyched to share with you the video and photgraphic evidence from our encounter with the current #1 artist on Spotify.

The meal was great and priced right we had soup to dessert the dinners were cooked right the fish was fresh as was the steak.
Posted by mia on 07/11/2014
I remember coming here and it was a pretty good diner however my last and final visit, not so much. Bland, tasteless food and overpriced. Ordered a roast beef sandwich and got a skimpy little toast sandwich for $12! With No flavor whatsoever and the waiter forgot my mayo and pickles! Cold frothy milk was disguised as an iced cappuccino. My sister ordered a bacon and cream cheese bagel, $9! Since when is a bagel in Brooklyn $9??? Deff a no-go I will not be back such a shame for a pretty spot
Posted by Tony on 09/19/2013
I have been going to Bridgeview for many years and found that the quality of the food and service has not changed from excellent. You get an abundant amount of food for a very reasonable price.

Was here before for brunch and was satisfied. Dinner on Mom's Day was another story. We ordered drinks with the meal and waited for 20 minutes for them to come. Our salads did not appear until at least 30 minutes after we ordered, and they consisted of pieces of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes, nothing else. We both ordered hot open-faced sandwiches. They came at least 45 minutes after being ordered (the place was not crowded), and the meat was dried out sitting atop the bread. The gravy was separate and not at all hot. I ordered mashed potatoes and got french fries, and my zucchini appeared in huge, overcooked hunks. I will not be returning, it was a waste of money.

A very lovely place to eat. Good food and fast service. I like the fact that they don't rush you.

You know that feeling, the sensation of speeding
When adrenalin charges
As if jumping from a plane without restrain
And your blood surges
You've done it before, but were never sure
So your hands shake
You release and fly, higher than high
Your heart is awake
There is no more choice, than that of god's voice
Breathing in deep
On the current you float, your mind full of hope
Our hearts simply beat

Takahashi, Mutsuo (b. 1937)
In his explicitly gay work, internationally recognized poet and playwright Mutsuo Takahashi celebrates homosexual desire.
In his explicitly gay work, internationally recognized poet and playwright Mutsuo Takahashi celebrates homosexual desire.Takahashi was born in Japan on December 15, 1937, and educated at Fukuoka University of Education. He has published several volumes of poetry, including You Dirty Ones, Do Dirtier Things (1966), Poems of A Penisist (1975), The Structure of The Kingdom (1982), A Bunch of Keys (1984), Practice/Drinking Eating (1988), The Garden of Rabbits (1988), and Sleeping Sinning Falling (1992).
Few poets bring as much skill and passion to their poems, especially those that consider homosexual desire, as does Takahashi. He has received many prestigious awards for his work, including the Reketei Prize, the Yomiuri Prize, and the Takami Jun Prize.
His work in drama has also earned acclaim. He won the Yamamoto Kenkichi Prize in 1987 for his stage script called Princess Medea. Other works in drama include an adaptation of W. B. Yeats's play At The Hawk's Well and a noh play inspired by Georges Bataille's Le Procès de Gil de Rais.
Even in his earliest work, Takahashi writes with vitality and precision about homosexual desire. Although Japan does not outlaw homosexual relations, the homosexual there remains an outcast because often he does not engage in the rituals and practices of Japanese family life.
The "okama" ("queen") is laughed at and ostracized. The more he is ostracized, the easier it is to keep the laughter going--at the okama's expense. Takahashi's poems give dignity to the okama, celebrating both his sexual desires and his outcast status.
Moreover, most of Takahashi's explicitly gay work celebrates desire, finding joy in the male body much as Walt Whitman's poems do. The poems eagerly name body parts as they probe desire and longing.
The speaker of Takahashi's masterful poem "Ode" celebrates his erotic and promiscuous life much as a priest celebrates the Eucharist. This 1,000-line poem begins with a parody of the Mass: "In the name of / Man, member, / and the holy fluid, / AMEN." As the speaker seeks out sex in the places most frowned on by his society, he is reborn, saved by each new encounter. The glory hole, for example, takes on spiritual significance. Only what is "made flesh" satisfies.
Poems of A Penisist is one of the most important collections of poetry on homosexual desire and sex written in this century. The personae in these poems do not compromise--they see the world as outsiders ("a faggot that fingers point at") but being outsiders brings them joy and meaning. As the majority society mocks and condemns them, their joy in their identity as gay men, as individuals who enjoy pleasure with other men, gives them strength.
In this collection, the speakers consider both their present and their past, sometimes by exploring family memories, such as the uncle who died at age twenty-two and will be forever remembered by one speaker as "this young god." The implication is that even as a very young boy, the speaker was preparing for his future erotic life--both in the flesh and on the page.

Writing compelling and beautifully expressed content is critical to the success of your business. However, that is only half of your success formula. The other half is sharing the content with as many high-quality connections as possible.
Your content is only as valuable as the people who share it with their friends. If you write content but don't syndicate it, in other words, it sits on your website with nowhere to go, what good is it going to do you or anyone else? The answer is that it won't make any sort of impact at all. You should regard your content as the beginning of the process, not the end of it.
Your content marketing strategy should include strong keywords and relevant and timely topics, an top-quality editorial (quality control) plan, and a plan on how you intend to promote your content. Because of the tremendous volume of content that is available online, it is very easy for other people to become overwhelmed and not have any clue about what they should pay attention to and what they should not pay attention to. If you don't share high-quality content (on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc), you may get people to engage with you once but you won't be able to keep them. If you don't want to or don't have the time to write and/or syndicate the content, you should get someone else to do it for you. The most important thing is that it is shared with other people.
There are many ways in which you can effectively promote your content, such as the following:
Pushing your content toward other people
There are many people who really like to have content given to them. It is convenient and once they have started to read and appreciate the content, they will come to rely on it more and more. Why not make it as easy as possible for them to get involved. However, if you (as the business owner) are very busy and you really don't have a lot of time to do this, this approach may be difficult.
Promoting your content through social media channels
Promoting your content through the various social media channels will most likely lead to increased exposure for your business as well as increased backlinks and high-quality traffic. The links can positively influence the way that the search engines see your web presence, which will add another source of traffic that is relevant to your business.
Promoting your content can inspire syndication of your content
The more content your offer other people online, the greater your chances of getting mentioned on other blogs and other forms of online media. Catching the eye of bloggers of influence can lead to future mentions and interactions.
Understanding your online communities
It is critical that you understand the other members of your online communities. You should try to engage them as much as possible in all aspects of your business. The more you interact, the more ideas you will have that will keep your content fresh and relevant. It is essential that you capture and maintain the interest of those people with whom you share a relationship. You should think about the approach that you want to take for your business before you actually do anything. It is important to customize your content marketing plan to be appropriate for those people who you are trying to influence and with whom you wish to engage.
Content is definitely king. It is extremely important that you never underestimate the power of your content. If it is done correctly (the writing and the syndication), it will touch many people, provoke them into thinking differently than they ever did before, and really want to continue to interact with you. The more you interact, the greater your chances of eventually turning them into loyal customers who will stick with you and your business through time.
We are pleased to provide you with the insightful comments contained herein. For a free assessment of your online presence, let's have coffee.

WASHINGTON, D.C. � Acting FMCS Director Scot L. Beckenbaugh today issued the following statement regarding the ratification of a collective bargaining agreement between the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) and the Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA):
�I am pleased to announce that late last night I was notified that the membership of the Professional Soccer Referees Association has ratified its first collective bargaining agreement with the Professional Referee Organization. I have also been informed that Executive Board of PRO has approved the contract. The ratification vote was held following the achievement of a tentative agreement late Tuesday night at the conclusion of two additional days of lengthy mediation conducted under the auspices of Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
�The approval of this agreement between the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) and the Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA) ends the work stoppage affecting professional soccer in the United States and Canada that began nearly two weeks ago. First contracts sometimes pose difficult challenges as the parties seek to define the parameters of a new formal relationship. The leadership of both organizations and their representatives at the bargaining table deserve praise for their patience and willingness to focus on mutually acceptable solutions. I can assure soccer fans everywhere that both parties remained committed and focused upon their shared goal of contributing to the continuous improvement and growth of professional soccer in North America.
�I also want to thank the spokespersons and representatives from both PRO and PSRA for their cooperation and affirmative interaction with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. It was gratifying to work with them in their mutual effort, first to fully understand their differences and then to jointly explore ways those differences could be bridged and resolved. The representatives from the PRO and PSRA showed professionalism and perseverance by choosing to manage their differences in a positive and productive way. As a result, the credit for this positive outcome belongs to them. Having made difficult choices together, ultimately, their perseverance was rewarded with this new agreement.
�Finally, I want to express my gratitude for the assistance and support provided by my colleague, Director of Mediation Services for the Northeast Sub-Region, Jack Sweeney. Jack�s experience and wisdom were extremely beneficial at multiple critical points in the mediation process.�
Consistent with its longstanding policy, the FMCS will have no further comment on the negotiations or the terms of the agreement.

Some recent grants awards for Science and Technology research:
Richard Bardgett - Biological Sciences - £33,308 - NERC
The Antarctic is a uniquely important 'natural laboratory' for examining ecosystem responses to climate change, due to its relatively simple ecosystems and high rate of warming compared to temperate regions.
This study, which forms part of a collaboration with Professor Davey Jones of Bangor University and Dr Kevin Newsham of the British Antarctic Survey (total award £243,212), aims to develop novel experimental and modelling techniques to find out the importance in Antarctic soils of specific forms of nitrogen.
Richard Bardgett - Biological Sciences - £169,948 - NERC
This project aims to test the significance of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) for plant nutrition and resource partitioning by co-existing plant species of grassland ecosystems.
Specifically, the study aims to determine under field conditions whether co-existing plant species have realised niches based on differential uptake of different chemical forms of N, both organic and inorganic, and whether such niche differentiation is constrained by ecosystem productivity and associated shifts in dominance of N forms caused by microbial turnover of DON.
A secondary goal is to identify critical control points in the soil N cycle at a compound-specific level to enhance our process level understanding of ecosystem nutrient cycling.
Keith Beven - Environmental Science - £222,000 - EPSRC
This is the second 4 year phase of the UK Flood Risk Management Research Consortium (FRMRC2). The grant is supported by contributions from the Environment Agency, Defra, SEPA, and both parts of Ireland.
Keith will be on the management committee, leading a Work Package on Integrating Methods (including the use of uncertainty estimation and development of Codes of Practice for different aspects of flood risk management).
Peter McClintock - Physics - £120,692 - EPSRC/STFC
The project involves studying small-angle neutron scattering from the surfaces of liquid He-4 and liquid He-3. It builds on pioneering results obtained by Dr Andrei Ganshyn during the summer of 2006, in which he used neutrons to obtain information about fluctuations near the critical point where the liquid and vapour phases become indistinguishable.
The new research, also in collaboration with Dr Andrei Ganshyn, will follow up his critical point investigations in detail. It will also explore nonlinear interactions between surface waves - work that may be relevant to the origin of the rare 'giant waves' that occasionally appear on the ocean and endanger shipping.
Klaus Winzer - Biological Sciences - £308,464 - BBSRC Industrial Partnership Award
The production of acetone and butanol by the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum was one of the first large-scale industrial fermentation processes to be established, but after the first half of the 20th century new technologies made it more economical to produce these chemicals from fossil fuels. In recent years, however, with current concerns over global warming and severe rises in the costs of crude oil, there has been a renewal of interest in the microbial production of eco-friendly fuel substitutes.
The project, a collaboration between Lancaster and the Clostridial Research Group at the University of Nottingham aims to optimise butanol production by metabolic engineering. The fermentation pathways of Clostridium acetobutylicum will be altered genetically so that the generation of unwanted side products is eliminated and butanol formation is maximised. The long-term goal is to make the generation of biobutanol from renewable resources or waste products once again an economically viable process. The joint award shared by Lancaster and Nottingham totals £643 K with another £89 K provided by an industrial partner, TMO Renewables.
Bahram Honary - Communication Systems - £150,000 - BCF Designs
Wire Integrity project aims to design and develop a portable piece of equipment that is capable of locating and characterising various wiring faults (e.g. corrosion, cracks etc.) onboard aircraft. The project propose to locate electrical non-linearities on onboard wiring a by detecting the intermodulation product that arises when faulty wires are excited with electrical fields at different frequencies.
George Aggidis - Engineering - £130,000 - Joule Centre
Funding to develop and evaluate, via computational and experimental modelling, a new wave energy converter called WRASPA (Wave-driven, Resonant, Arcuate-action, Surging Power-Absorber).
George Aggidis - Engineering - £600,000 - EPSRC
Part of £5.5 million total funding for Lancaster University and partners at the Universities of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Strathclyde and Queen's Belfast, as part of The EPSRC SuperGen Marine 2 research programme which focuses on the potential for future exploitation of marine energy resources.
See www.lancs.ac.uk/sci-tech/news/?article_id=457 for details of both these LUREG awards.
Andrew Binley - Environmental Science - £63,000 - US National Science Foundation
Funding for a PhD studentship at Lancaster as part of a large US-based project led by Rutgers University.
Three growing businesses are set to move into Lancaster Universitys Environment Centre (LEC) after winning a competition to find fresh business ideas with an environmental focus
Lancaster University's Renewable Energy Group (LUREG) has won two major grants totalling £3/4m to help harness the power of the sea and covert it into energy
Lancaster University has invested in a major new creative research lab which will drive interdisciplinary research to explore places, products and systems for the future

In the last week, the Orioles have acquired four players and added them to the 40-man roster. They've also added three minor league players, and have 38.
Fans haven't been terribly excited about the acquisitions of free agent right-handers Edgmer Escalona and Brad Brach, left-hander Kelvim De La Cruz or infielder Cord Phelps.
What the Orioles are doing is trying to create competition for the bullpen and the final positions on their roster. Last year, they acquired infielder Yamaico Navarro on the night that contracts had to be tendered.
He ended up playing briefly for the team, and last week signed with the New York Yankees organization.
The free agent market is too rich for the Orioles—right now. The deals for players that might have interested the team: Marlon Byrd (two years, $16 million), David Murphy (two years, $12 million) and especially Jason Vargas (four years, $32 million) are far above their perceived value.
The Orioles may have loved to have signed them, but not at those prices, and in the case of Vargas, not for that many years.
[RELATED: Orioles acquire Brach, Phelps to boost depth]
Free agency is still in its early days. Other than Brian McCann, what passes for the big names in this year's market, are still out there, and nearly all of the smaller names are, too. Of the top 50 free agents as named by MLBTradeRumors, just 10 have signed deals.
There's plenty of time to see if Scott Feldman, who reportedly has half the major leagues as suitors will accept a two-year deal or if Bronson Arroyo will consider an Orioles' offer. The latest Arroyo news has the pitching-hungry Minnesota Twins going after him.
If the Orioles are going to offer contracts to all their arbitration-eligible players, that means big raises for Chris Davis, Jim Johnson and Matt Wieters. It also means healthy hikes for Tommy Hunter, Brian Matusz, Bud Norris and Troy Patton.
That doesn't guarantee that all will be with the Orioles next season. But after a survey of the available free agents, rewarding their own players, known commodities, say, Matusz and Patton, with raises is better business than signing an outsider to a lengthier and pricier contract.
The Orioles have recently added two left-handers to the 40-man, De La Cruz and Chris Jones, who was acquired in April's deal with Atlanta for Luis Ayala. Perhaps Matusz or Patton will be heading elsewhere, but for now, they stay.
Keeping Davis, Hunter, Johnson, Matusz, Norris, Patton and Wieters means increasing the payroll. Davis, Johnson and Wieters could be paid between $25-30 million next season.
Even though they're not yet arbitration-eligible, the Orioles may want to give Manny Machado and Chris Tillman more than token raises as a sign of goodwill.
Adding the four new players doesn't cost much, but the Orioles are going to need big bucks to pay the players who've produced for them over the past two competitive seasons.
Last year, the Orioles ended the season with a payroll of over $100 million. According to BsaeballReference.com, the estimated payroll of players currently on the 40-man is $90.7 million, close to where they started 2013.
If the Orioles re-sign Feldman, Nate McLouth, Brian Roberts or an outside free agent or two, the payroll could be north of $100 million.
Roberts made $10 million in the final year of a four-year, $40 million contract, and if he returns, it will be for much less, perhaps $7 million less.
During the 2013 season, the Orioles added Feldman, Norris, Francisco Rodriguez and Michael Morse, taking on payroll. They're still in the adding payroll mode.
They're always looking for bargains, and they'll probably keep a spot or maybe two open for the Dec. 12 Rule 5 draft.
In the past two years, the Orioles have added two useful players, Ryan Flaherty and T.J. McFarland, from the draft.
If the Orioles sign more free agents, there are some players currently on the 40-man who could be dropped.
Jason Pridie, whose contract was purchased in the final week of the season after the team suffered a spate of injuries, is a candidate. So is Mike Belfiore, another left-hander who pitched just once in September.

WASHINGTON — It wasn't long ago Michael Frolik was toiling in Florida with a Panthers team that is going nowhere fast. Suddenly, he's been thrust into the middle of the Blackhawks' quest to reach the Western Conference playoffs.
Frolik, who was acquired by the Hawks on Feb. 9 in a trade for Jack Skille, finds himself in a key spot with the injury to Dave Bolland. Normally a winger, Frolik will shift to center to replace Bolland, who will miss Sunday's game against the Capitals at the Verizon Center — and possibly longer.

A method for the design and layout for a patterned deep N-well. A Tile is specified as a fundamental building block for the deep N-well pattern. The tile comprises a first element on a first layer and may comprise a second element on a second layer. A two dimensional region is covered with an array of contiguous tiles, with the elements on each layer connecting with elements of adjacent tiles to form extended shapes. The array may be converted to a collection of sub-arrays through the removal of tiles. The array or collection of sub-arrays may be merged to produce a first layer pattern and second layer pattern. Design rule checks may be applied to verify the pattern. The first layer shapes and second layer shapes may be edited. The first layer shapes and the second layer shapes may then be combined to produce a deep N-well pattern.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to circuit design and layout in complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to the design of body-bias voltage connections in CMOS circuits.
As the operating voltages for CMOS transistor circuits have decreased, variations in the threshold voltages for the transistors have become more significant. Although low operating voltages offer the potential for reduced power consumption, gate threshold voltage variations due to process and environmental variables often prevent optimum efficiency and performance from being achieved due to increased leakage currents.
Threshold voltage variations may be compensated for by body-biasing. In typical CMOS transistors, the source of the transistor has a connection to the bulk region local to the transistor. This connection may be made to the substrate or to a well in the substrate containing the transistor. Body-biasing introduces a bias potential between the bulk and the source of the transistor that allows the threshold voltage of the transistor to be adjusted electrically.
Whereas the typical CMOS transistor is a three-terminal device, the body-biased CMOS transistor is a four-terminal device, and thus requires a more complex interconnect scheme. Connections for biasing may be made on the substrate surface using conventional metal/dielectric interconnects similar to those used for typical gate, drain, and source connections, or they may be made using buried complementary well structures.
For example, in a p-type substrate with a population of surface n-wells that contain p-channel field effect transistors (PFETs), a buried n-type layer may be formed in the substrate at a depth that allows for contact with the bottom of the N-wells, while providing sufficient clearance with respect to n-channel field effect transistors (NFETs) in the substrate.
Generally, prior art solutions assume that the resolvability of buried well features are of the same order as surface features. For example, some solutions teach forming apertures registered to transistor channel regions.
However, processes that try to form apertures in this way may end up with disconnected bits of buried N-well along with numerous width and spacing violations due to the size disparity between surface features and buried features.
The relative size of buried layer features is about an order of magnitude larger than surface features. With this built-in disparity, the mesh generating process and rules checking should accommodate a range of coverage and alignment issues not contemplated in the prior art. Thus, the prior art does not appreciate the disparity that exists in geometric sizes and spacing of buried substrate layers.
Thus, a need exists for a method for the design and layout of mask layers for patterned deep N-wells. There is also a need for a flexible and computationally efficient method that is adaptable to conventional computer aided design (CAD) tools.
Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for generating and checking a deep N-well mask pattern that is computationally efficient and flexible. The method provides for the development of a pattern with a hierarchical structure that is subsequently edited and flattened while making efficient use of data storage and computational resources.
A method for the design and layout for a patterned deep N-well is disclosed. A tile is specified as a building block for the deep N-well pattern. The tile comprises a first element on a first layer and may also comprise a second element on a second layer. A two-dimensional region is covered with an array of contiguous tiles, with the elements on each layer connecting with elements of adjacent tiles to form extended shapes.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after having read the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments which are illustrated in the various drawing figures.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. The drawings referred to in this description should not be understood as being drawn to scale except if specifically noted.
In the following detailed description of the present invention, a method for generating a deep N-well pattern for an integrated circuit design, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances well known methods involving photolithography, ion implantation, deposition and etch, etc., and well known structures such as ohmic contacts and barrier metallization, etc., have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present invention.
The design and layout of the surface N-wells 115, PFETs 125, and NFETs 120 is conventionally done with respect to a single rectilinear coordinate system. It is to be appreciated that in a preferred embodiment, the deep N-well 110 has linear features at least some of which are aligned with a rectilinear coordinate system that is rotated with respect to the coordinate system of the surface structures.
Details of the relative alignment between the surface N-wells 115 and the deep N-well structure 110 is disclosed in a U.S. Patent Application titled "Diagonal Deep Well Region for Routing Body-Bias Voltage for MOSFETs in Surface Well Regions," Ser. No. 10/334,272, assigned to the assignee of the present application and filed on Dec. 31, 2002; the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Although tile 200 is shown as square; in general, rectangular tiles may be used. The minimum dimensions of the tile and the elements 205 and 210 are determined in part by the minimum attainable feature size for the deep N-well 210, and is thus determined in part by the depth at which the deep N-well is implanted. In one embodiment, the dimensions of the tile 200 and the elements 205 and 210 are selected to produce a deep N-well with the minimum attainable features. In other embodiments, the dimensions selected may be larger than the minimum attainable. For example, larger dimensions may be used to offset the impact of depletion regions on openings in the deep N-well 210.
In conventional usage, the deep N-well spacing only need be sufficient to ensure that two deep N-well structures at different potentials are electrically isolated. In the present invention, the spacing must also be large enough to ensure a sufficiently low resistance path between the surface P-well and the underlying p-substrate.
As can be seen in
The array of tiles 300 is an efficient tool for obtaining a uniform extended pattern that conforms to a coordinate system that is rotated with respect to the coordinate system used by the surface features and the tile edges. Since the tile edges conform to the surface coordinate system, the tile may be easily introduced to (CAD) tools that are used for integrated circuit layout and design. The tile array 300 may also be conveniently edited using conventional CAD tools.
With reference to
As indicated by the dashed lines at the ends of elements 205 and 210 of
During the editing of the tile arrays and layers, the removal of tiles and stripe segments may be predicated on design rules so that the editing may be performed automatically by a CAD tool. For example Cadence Assura™ may be used. Editing and checking of the extended shapes (stripes) on the layers is easier to handle than attempting to manipulate a single complex shape existing on a single layer.
There are many conditions that may drive the removal of a tile or the editing of a layer. For example, an N-well 620 may comprise a PFET 625 that does not require body-biasing. In another example, the deep N-well 610 may be trimmed to provide decoupling or isolation for an analog NFET 630.
In general, during tile array editing, tiles that are not connected to surface N-wells may be removed. Tiles may also be removed to disconnect surface N-wells from the deep N-well structure. Thus, the tiles may be removed as unwanted, or as unused, although a particular tile that has no direct connections to a surface N-well may be kept for purposes of body-bias distribution.
Design checks are made to insure that that isolation and connection of the surface N-wells is robust. A tenuous connection will negatively affect the body-bias potential, and poor isolation will lead to leakage. The robustness of deep N-well connections may be checked through perturbing the design by incrementally increasing the size of the opening in the deep N-well database structure. If the incremental increase causes an N-well to become disconnected, an edit may be made to remove the ambiguity.
Proximity checks may also be made for unconnected N-wells and NFET devices to make sure that they are sufficiently removed from the deep N-well. Also, it is desirable that the circuit path for body-biased NFETs not be unduly constricted by the deep N-well.
In step 710, an array of tiles is created over an area of the circuit in which a deep N-well structure is desired. The use of a tile allows the initial generation of the structure to be done efficiently and automatically. In step 715, the array of tiles may be automatically edited by removing tiles on the basis of predefined requirements for voltage supply connections. The removal of tiles may result in a single larger array of tiles being converted to a collection of smaller arrays.
In step 720, the tiles are merged to produce extended shapes on each of the layers, with each of the extended shapes comprising the elements from the layers on each of the tiles. Each layer may contain a number of discrete extended shapes comprising segments.
In step 725, the layers may be edited manually to introduce features into the N-well structure that are not addressed by the automatic process. These features may be associated with special requirements for connection and isolation. The editing of layers may also include providing a waiver for an edited feature that has produced, or may produce, a design rule violation.
The geometry of the shapes at boundaries may also be checked for acute angles that may be incompatible with the photolithographic processes used for fabrication. One or more instances of an extended shape may be removed from a layer, or have segments added or deleted.
For example, in an integrated circuit with a high degree of homogeneity (e.g., memory), one or more extended shapes may be removed entirely. In such cases, the opening size and pitch may be made larger in the deep N-well structure.
In step 730, design rule checks are made to insure the proper relationship between the deep N-well structure as represented on the layers, and the connected and unconnected N-wells, as well as the proper relationship to circuit components such as analog devices.
Perturbation of the shapes resident on the layers may be performed to detect connection ambiguities and circuit paths. For example, an opening may be expanded by altering the size and/or location of the extended shapes on the layers that form the opening perimeter. The alteration of one or more extended shapes on one or more layers is computationally more efficient than modifying a complex unified structure residing on a single layer.
In step 735, a check is made for design rule violations. If a design rule violation is found, step 725 is repeated to deal with the violation. If a design rule violation is not found, step 740 is performed.
In step 740, the layers are flattened to produce a single layer. Flattening produces the final pattern that will correspond to the deep N-well structure. At this point the bulk of the computationally intensive modifications to the deep N-well layout have been performed by working with tiles and layers. In the finished flat pattern, proximity correction or other global modifications may be made.
The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. For example, there are many combinations of the parameters for the implant and anneal process steps, and their sequencing, that may be used to produce the structures described herein. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the Claims appended hereto and their equivalents.

Dark Souls 2 just feels clunky. I only feel like I'm half in control of my character.
MGS:Ground Zeroes, while short, is a quality title.
For me, "South Park: The Stick of Truth," was the top game of the month. Yeah, as an RPG it was a little weak on those elements. But, the story was awesome. Loads of fan service to be found. Hilarious moments are all throughout the game.
I'm not sure I like the idea of game of the month.
I wonder whether you think like that because you don't like anything that this site does.

TIA Sets Sight on a 'Greener' Future
The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has announced the creation the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC). This new organisation has been created to fulfil Wayne Crowell's promise - which he made when he became the President of the TIA – to further strengthen the tyre industry's commitment to tyre recycling and other environmentally friendly issues. According to a TIA press release on the 14th January, the EAC will "provide strategic information, advisory services, educational programs, and governmental assistance that promote environmental awareness throughout the tyre industry".
In the past, the Rubber Recycling Advisory Council (TRRAC) brought together the top intellectual minds from the tyre and rubber recycling sector to try and find ways to deal with "green" issues. The EAC, which is replacing the TRRAC, is set to take things even further however, as it brings together the brightest minds from every part of the tyre industry. This will lead, it is believed, to a more energy efficient and greener TIA, which will in turn, will inspire the rest of the tyre industry to implement changes for the better.
Wayne Crowell, TIA President, had this to say on the creation of the new organisation, "it's clear that 'green' issues are becoming more and more enmeshed in both our personal and professional lives, and thus, I wanted to take a broader, more holistic approach to how tire dealers and the tire industry can better understand and implement 'green' concepts and practices into every aspect of the industry – from cutting down on paper use in the office to the utilization of environmentally-friendly technologies on the shop floor, to finding new and exciting ways to utilize scrap tires".
Each member of the EAC has been specifically selected by Wayne Crowell and is an expert in their particular sector of the tyre industry.

Research Ethics Committees: Help or Hindrance?
Research Ethics Committees: Help or Hindrance?
Two day open conference 12th and 13th November 2009
Selected presentations now available on this website. See programme below for links.
We are pleased to announce an academic conference on research ethics committees followed by an open workshop to propose ways to streamline regulation.
While ethics committees are now a familiar feature of research institutions especially within the NHS, academic work on their role, remit and function is still in its infancy. The theme for the conference is how effective ethics committees are in reducing risks to subjects of research without over-burdening researchers with bureaucracy. Ethics committees for research in social science and in journalism are often not thought as important as they are in medicine for example because the risks associated with each are different. The burdens on medical researchers might thus be justified by the risks to their subjects. However, ethics committee reviewing medical research proposals may lack the scientific expertise to review the science directly themselves and so make sound judgements about the risks involved. Since the science is reviewed independently, ethics committees have to judge which reviews to trust and so which projects to approve. The sessions will address this governance distinction between reviewing science and ethics.
This event is supported by the National Research Ethics Service, the UCLH/UCL Comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre, and the UCL Centre for Philosophy, Justice and Health.

My husband and I have eaten here about 10 times and had a wonderful meal each time. We love to sit outside overlooking the Bay. We have sent others to La Lar and everyone has always thanked us and gone back numerous times as well.

La Mar is an amazing peruvian seafood restaurant. I have been there many times and the food is always excelent. It also has a beautiful diner with a great view to the sea. I encourage everyone to try the sushi rolls during lunch time (peruvian/japanese fusion), the cebiche and the arroz limeño. Also, order Pisco sour or Chilcanos made with Pisco Huamani... peruvian finest!

Way too expensive. Small portions. Good atmosphere and tastes good.

The food is good but very expensive. Small portions. Dont go there on a cold day/night, no heater in the lounge area ....
Posted by anonymous on 12/22/2009
The food was beautifully prepared with fresh ingredients and delicious combinations. There are a number of different cebiches, and all of those we tasted were spectacular. The views are gorgeous, the atmosphere is vibrant, the pisco sours are yummy. We loved La Mar.

Sundress - UO Urban Renewal, thriftedFlats - Christian Louboutin, ebay
Woowee it's hot out there today. I stuck with a simple linen sundress and flats. My Sister-in-law and her family are here for the long weekend, so my usual photospot was not usable. I did get to go grocery shopping today. Aldi is my favorite grocery store. It's bare bones, dirt cheap shopping. You gotta bring your own bags, pay a quarter to use the cart (you get it back though!), and everything is pretty much just stacked on it's original shipping slats. But I'm crazy obsessed with Happy Farms cheeses, their store brand coffee drink (99p for better than starbucks!), and Moser Roth chocolates. And the lack of advertising, bags and charged carts mean that you pay uber reasonable prices. What's your favorite non-clothing store to shop at?

2008 Interview Analee Viena-Lota
On the verge of playing the final two home games of her career, senior forward Analee Viena-Lota sat down with GoMatadors.com to reflect upon her four seasons at Cal State Northridge.
While there certainly have been both good and bad times in her career, Viena-Lota is leaving CSUN with a degree in Recreation and Tourism Management and having left an indelible mark on the Northridge record books. Entering her final two home games, she ranks among the Matadors' career leaders in minutes played, starts and rebounds.
How does it feel to be on the verge of your final two home games?
"It is both exciting and nerve-wracking. To think that it's my last two games, to me, that's crazy. It's hard to believe I've been here for four years. I can still remember when I did a Matador Minute as a freshman like it was yesterday. Time certainly does fly, especially your last year... It seems like it has gone by super-fast."
What have been some of your favorite moments as a member of the Women's Hoops Team?
"For me, being part of the team and listening to music and goofing around in the locker room are some of my favorite memories. All the different road trips were exciting because I got to go and experience parts of the country I never thought I would visit. Mostly, I think my best memories are being around the team and being with my friends all the time."
"On the court, I would say my favorite moment would be when we beat UC Davis in the Big West Tournament my sophomore season. It seemed like people didn't really think we were going to make it and then to do so and beat a good team in the quarterfinals was a shock to a lot of people."
How has your senior season gone thus far?
"It has been different and there have been a lot of things I have had to adjust to, especially having new coach for my last season. I've been playing point guard recently and that's much different than what I was used to because I had never had to play that in college. Ultimately, I like Coach Flowers and the direction he has the program headed, even if I could only be a part of it for one year."
What was the trip back to Hawai'i earlier in the season like for you?
The trip was a lot of fun. I got to show my teammates around and experience the culture. It was also great to get the opportunity to play in front of my family and friends in my hometown. I don't always get to see them, so that was a special memory for me. As far as Hawai'i joining the Big West Conference, I only wish they had joined when I was freshman. Still, the other two Hawaiian girls will get a chance to go back and I think it will give more exposure to our campus and to get more Hawaiian student-athletes opportunities to explore chances to compete throughout the nation.
As one of the top rebounders in school history, what does it take to be a good rebounder?
"Ultimately, it is the desire to go after the ball. You really have to want it and not care what's in the way. Boxing out is a big part of it, something I work on every day in practice. Against Oregon State, when I grabbed 16 rebounds, I went into a mode. I grabbed every ball I could and would not let anything stop me, whether it fell into my lap or I had to run someone over."
What are your thoughts on the week ahead?
"It's a big week for us. We need to get both wins to secure our spot in the big West tournament. It's our last two games in league and we want to end it on a good note and get ready for the tournament."
How has it been playing with this group of seniors?
"Bianca Davies and I have been together for four years and we have developed a strong friendship. With her and all the injuries she has had to overcome just to be at this moment is inspiring. It is certainly great to finish with someone I started with. Anna Simmons has been a great teammate for two years Janet Alvarado, while only on the team for this season, is great to have around and easy to get along with."
Finally, what role has your family played in your career as a student-athlete at Northridge?
"Looking back on these four years has shown me that no matter what the distance between us, I knew they would always support and love me. They are very proud of me and I am proud to have represented them so well over my four years at CSUN. I love them very much and am very excited to get a few more opportunities to play in front of them. My parents and grandparents are coming out Thursday and get to catch our two last home games. "

Can We Give The "Bigger Nets" Debate A Rest?
by George Malik on 11/20/07 at 08:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
Jason Kay of The Hockey News is banging the drum of what seems to be hockey journalists' favourite pet project—proving that the hockey media "knows what the fans want" by convincing the NHL, through the sheer will of proffering a stance, and bolstering it through endless iterations of the same damn column, to make bigger nets a reality, given the collective theory that more goals = a more entertaining product.

So That's Where The Idea Came From
by Paul on 11/20/07 at 05:09 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Ithaca Times,
Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the National Hockey League, spoke to members of the Cornell University community on Saturday, Nov. 11. Bettman, an alumnus who graduated '74, hit on moments of controversy in his tenure at the NHL and previously at the NBA, including the installation of salary caps in both leagues and NHL work stoppages in 1994 and 2004….
Is it true that while you were at the NBA you were known as the "Pope of Salary Caps"?
GB: There were some people - and I'm not sure in flattering ways - who always referred to me that way because there had never been a salary cap before and I was the one who installed it. It was no secret that when the NFL decided, after all the litigation in the '80s, that they wanted a cap they actually came to visit. Baseball consulted us as well….

Fixing the NHL Schedule
by Alanah McGinley on 11/19/07 at 11:55 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Al Strachan at FoxSports,
But judging by the early returns, the attempts to maintain the current schedule, led by Lou Lamoriello of the New Jersey Devils, will fail. Lamoriello's dearly beloved concept of eight divisional games per year will be scrapped and reduced to six.
That frees up room to make sure that every team plays each other at least once. The existing format of playing the non-divisional teams in your conference four times — two in each venue — will stay.
So that will give us 24 divisional games, 40 conference games and 15 non-conference games. That's a total of 79, which should be enough to determine which teams belong in the playoffs. But it's three short of the existing total and you have to know that there's no way the governors will voluntarily reduce revenue.
Therefore, the league will add three wild-card games.
Note: Presumably, none of this can be confirmed till after the NHL's Governors meeting on November 29th. This issue was also addressed briefly by Bruce Garrioch in the Ottawa Sun yesterday

Tonight The Canadiens Honor Larry Robinson
by Paul on 11/19/07 at 11:22 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun,
MARVELVILLE—The road from this hamlet south of Ottawa to Montreal goes east and north to Hwy. 417. For Larry Robinson, it was paved with the work ethic of a farmer's son.
Broke after his first year in pro hockey, and with a young wife and son, Robinson worked on the paving crew—7 a.m.-7 p.m.—on the 417 between Russell and Maxville in the summer of 1972.
Robinson made just $7,500 the previous winter playing for the Canadiens' AHL farm team in Halifax. With wife Jeannette and son Jeffrey, money was stretched thin, especially when the team went on a long playoff run and won the Calder Cup.
added 8:56am, Habs Inside/Out has some Robinson memories you may be interested in. Some nice postcard pictures of Robinson and Red Fisher looks at Robinson.
Update 5:25pm ET: (alanah) From The Hockey News,
If the Montreal Canadiens keep retiring the numbers of everyone who deserves it, they'll look more like a football team than a hockey team in a few years.
The Canadiens, who do these ceremonies far better than anyone else in the NHL (are you watching, Maple Leafs?) are set to retire their 12th number Monday night when Larry Robinson's No. 19 is raised to the rafters of the Bell Centre. That will be followed by Bob Gainey's No. 23 in February with it all but certain the Canadiens will retire Patrick Roy's No. 33 next season when they celebrate their 100th anniversary.
Update 8:22pm ET: (alanah) via TSN:
Montreal Canadiens fans had waited a long time to give Larry Robinson the ovation he received Monday night, and they weren't going to sit down until they were good and ready.
Robinson joined 12 other Canadiens legends when his No. 19 was retired and raised to the Bell Centre rafters before Montreal's game against the Ottawa Senators.
Robinson received an ovation of several minutes when he was first introduced to the crowd, and he tried sitting down to get the fans to stop. But they refused, continuing for several more minutes despite Robinson's repeated attempts to get them to sit down.
More photos here.

More Praise for Ron Francis
by Alanah McGinley on 11/19/07 at 07:33 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Darren Eliot at Sports Illustrated, asks "Is it too late to applaud Ron Francis as a Hall-of-Famer?" Certainly not…
His career may be just under the radar where the general public is concerned, but his peers have long revered him. They appreciated his night-in-night-out contributions and understood the competitiveness below the surface of his stoic demeanor. As an 18-year-old rookie, Atlanta Thrashers center Bobby Holik played with Francis in Hartford. Holik says he learned a lot from Francis that year, and even more about him as the two competed countless times as Eastern Conference rivals.
"He was extremely competitive, despite being so calm," Holik says. "You could never take him off the ice, in any situation. He was the ultimate complete hockey player—the last great two-way player."

How Rumors Happen
by Alanah McGinley on 11/19/07 at 06:56 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Lyle Richardson at The Hockey News,
The lack of any real trade action thus far in the NHL season also has some folks clutching at straws to dream up trade scenarios.
Take the presence of Edmonton Oilers GM Kevin Lowe in the Boston Bruins press box during the Bruins-Canadiens match-up Nov. 8.
An Edmonton sportswriter wondered if Lowe was there to scout Bruins right winger Glen Murray as, apparently, Lowe nearly had a deal in place for Murray last summer until the Bruins backed out.
Once this story passed through the filter of Internet rumormongers, it quickly went from speculation to confirmation that Lowe was planning to acquire Murray.
The truth, sadly, was far less sexy, as Lowe was in Massachusetts to watch the Springfield Falcons – the Oilers' AHL farm team – play the following night and merely decided to take in the game while in Boston.

Hartley Wants To Coach
by Paul on 11/19/07 at 03:21 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Pierre LeBrun if the CP via MetroNews,
A Russian agent did indeed recently contact Hartley, who was fired as head coach of the Thrashers on Oct. 17.
"They asked me if I would be interested," said Hartley. "When you love hockey, you're interested in coaching and everything ... But we'll just wait and see how everything plays out."
He obviously wants back into coaching but wants to make the right move the next time the phone rings.
"I've been coaching for the last 20 years," said Hartley, who coached in Canadian major junior and the AHL before getting his first NHL job in 1998 with Colorado. "But it would be very selfish of me right now to say, 'I want to coach in the NHL tomorrow.'

Looking For His Name On The Cup
by Paul on 11/18/07 at 12:08 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette,
Remember Don Awrey, who played 128 of his 979 NHL games with the Canadiens?...
I mention Awrey now because he was on the telephone several days ago inquiring how to go about what he termed to "right a wrong." What was wrong was that even though he appeared in most of the regular-season games during the Canadiens' first of four consecutive Stanley Cups in 1975-76, he wasn't dressed in the playoffs because of a knee injury. Result: the next time you read the names on the Cup for that year, you won't find Awrey's name on it because league rules at the time called for a player to appear in at least one playoff game in order to have his name on it.

One Vote For Bigger Nets
by Paul on 11/18/07 at 11:59 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Jason Kay of the Hockey News,
We've heard the all the arguments – the record book would be rendered moot; that it would be too drastic a change. We don't buy it. The record book has been impacted by a plethora of amendments over the years, both organic and legislated, and increasing the size of the net would be no different.
As for it being too drastic, we aren't talking soccer-sized goals, just a few inches wider or taller, or both. Will coaches try to become even more defense-oriented to protect a larger cage? Perhaps, but we're surmising that goals would beget goals. Fall behind 2-0 early on shots that maybe wouldn't have gone in on a smaller net and, as a coach, you're forced to alter your strategy and take more risks.
