You get to acquaint your children with other places, cultures and times. You get to marvel at wonderful things God has done through His people.
As you explore, find answers to questions like Why do people in the Amazon and Alaska like different kinds of homes? What did the inside of a medieval castle look like? What did ancient Egyptians eat? How did people travel in ancient China? What does a jungle look like?
A tour of Core A
Enjoy a very broad overview of world history and explore the way people ate, dressed and lived throughout the centuries.
With your Instructor's Guide showing you what to do each day, two volumes serve as key books: The Usborne Children's Encyclopedia and Living Long Ago. They both feature simple text and scores of pictures that your children will love to look at. Get brief, picture-filled overviews of key civilizations of the world such as Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Vikings, Incans, the Ming Dynasty in China, Colonial America and Victorian England. Take extra time to look at music, art, homes, clothing and climate around the world. Your children will love to sit and pore over these books.
Core A also weaves in many fascinating biographies and stories that help your children imagine life in different times and places.
What will Core A do for you?
Sure, you have a great program that gives you precious times of discovery with your kids. You don't have to plan lessons, your kids get a great education, and they'll finish more excited than ever about learning. But what else will Core A do for you?
First, it sets the stage for future learning. Your kids develop a big-picture understanding that past civilizations existed and that people live differ-ently throughout the world. This knowledge gives a framework for future in-depth study of history.
This program also helps children start to see past themselves. Not everyone lives like they do! As children grasp this concept, they are more able to look at situations from another person's point of view and to relate to others who are different from them. They also develop a healthy curiosity about the world around them.
Another aspect I hold dear is that the books we feature inspire character in children. They provide fodder for faith-building conversations. They present worthy heroes who display courage and honesty, who work hard, love their families and do the right thing. Let's give children some models worth imitating!

A method of coating a thin layer of a liquid material on a substrate, in which the substrate is placed in an atmosphere saturated with the vapor of a solvent for the coating material, liquid coating material is deposited on the substrate, and then the substrate is spun to disperse the coating material into a thin film while causing the excess to run off. The vaporous solvent atmosphere is maintaind while the coating and run-off are completed. Then the substrate is isolated from the source of the solvent vapor and is heated in order to dry the coating.
Apparatus for carrying out this method includes a coating chamber, a carrier adapted to receive and support the substrate, a turntable within the coating chamber for rotating the substrate carrier, and means in the coating chamber for generating the vaporous atmosphere. The apparatus also includes a separate drying chamber that is movable into or out of engagement with the coating chamber, and openings in both chambers which provide communication between them when they are in mutual engagement. Means are also provided to transfer the carrier from the coating chamber to the drying chamber, and at the same time sealing off the coating chamber to limit the amount of vaporous solvent flowing into the drying chamber.
The apparatus also includes multiple drying chambers, multiple substrate carriers normally carried in corresponding ones of the drying chambers, and means for presenting the drying chambers in succession to the coating chamber so that while a newly coated substrate is being dried the next succeeding substrate can be transferred from its drying chamber into the coating chamber for coating.
1. In a method wherein a liquid coating material is applied to the surface of a substrate while the substrate is being spun in order to provide a thin coating on its surface, and wherein the coating is subsequently dried, the improvement comprising:
(a) selecting a coating chamber;
(b) charging the atmosphere of the coating chamber with a solvent for the coating material in a saturated vaporous form;
(c) placing the substrate inside the coating chamber;
(d) then depositing a quantity of the liquid coating material upon one surface of the substrate;
(e) rotating the substrate about a self-contained vertical axis so as to radially disperse the liquid and thereby form a coating of uniform thickness on the substrate, by virtue of the saturated atmosphere which prevents any drying action upon the coating;
(f) then selecting a drying chamber and, without exposing the interior of the coating chamber to outside atmosphere, placing the drying chamber in communication with the coating chamber so that the saturated atmosphere then occupies both chambers;
(g) moving the coated substrate from the coating chamber into the drying chamber;
(h) then independently sealing the drying chamber so as to retain both coated substrate and saturated atmosphere therein; and
(i) thereafter initiating a drying action in the drying chamber so as to eliminate the saturated atmosphere therein while also drying the coating.
2. A method of applying a coating material in liquid form to a surface of a substrate so as to achieve a coating thereon which when dried is of uniform thickness, comprising the steps of:
surrounding the surface with a solvent in a saturated vaporous form so as to prevent any drying action and at the same time centrifuging the substrate; and
then when the centrifuging action is completed producing a drying action so as to remove the vaporous solvent and thus dry the coating.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the substrate is first coated and centrifuged in a coating chamber, and is thereafter dried in a separate drying chamber.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein a solvent bath is maintained in the interior of the coating chamber.
5. The method of claim 2 wherein the coating material is a liquid photo resist material.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein excess liquid photo resist material that flows off the substrate during centrifuging is collected in a separate container.
7. The method of claim 2 wherein the drying action is produced by a combination of heat and vacuum.
The need for applying an extremely thin layer of a coating material to a substrate or work piece arises in a number of different contexts. For example, the preparation of a thin coating is an essential step in the manufacture of micro-miniature semi-conductor electronic circuits, commonly known as "chips."
It may be necessary to make such coatings very thin indeed, as for example, a thickness of one micron or less. Furthermore in the manufacture of semi-conductor products it often happens that surface portions of the semi-conductor substrate must be cut away in order to form electrical circuits having the desired characteristics. It is then necessary to apply a thin layer of photo resist material over the semi-conductor, and it is quite important that the layer of photo resist material be of uniform thickness despite the unevenness of the surface upon which it is applied.
Another of many specific problems is known, for example, as edge build up. This is a non-uniform thickness of the coating material that occurs when a spin coating process is employed. A further problem is contamination of a liquid layer.
The object and purpose of the present invention, is to provide a high speed continuous process for applying a thin uniform coating of a liquid material, and for drying the coating, together with suitable apparatus for carrying out such process.
Pertinent prior art includes the following U.S. patents:
______________________________________ U.S. Class Int. Class______________________________________Peters 3,903,841 118/50 BO5 C 3/02Boeckl 4,063,019 427/82 BO5 D 5/12Plows 4,075,974 118/52 BO5 C 5/00Juve 4,170,191 118/705 BO5 C 5/00Hubers 4,196,231 427/240 BO5 D 3/12______________________________________
According to the present invention the atmosphere surrounding the substrate is charged with the vapor of a solvent for the selected coating material, a quantity of the selected coating material is applied in liquid form to the substrate, and then the substrate is spun or rotated in order to cause radially outward movement of the liquid coating material and thereby disperse it over the entire surface of the substrate. The atmosphere of vaporous solvent causes the coating material to retain its liquid form with the result that the rotating or spinning action produces a thin coating that is entirely uniform in its thickness, in spite of a significant amount of uneveness in the surface upon which it is formed.
According to the presently preferred form of the invention an apparatus is provided which has a separate coating chamber and a separate drying chamber. The coating chamber is charged with a vaporous solvent atmosphere but the drying chamber is not. A carrier or base is provided for the substrate that is to be coated. The substrate and its carrier are first placed in the coating chamber where the coating is performed, and are then transferred to the drying chamber where the coating is dried.
As a further feature of the invention, apparatus is provided for transferring the substrate and its carrier between the two chambers without any exposure to outside atmoshere. Thus, the substrate and its coating are protected from contamination during the entire coating and drying process.
As another feature of the invention an accumulator for the liquid coating material is placed in communication with the bottom of the coating chamber. The accumulator is, therefore, in contact with the vaporous solvent atmosphere of the coating chamber. Excess coating material that runs off the substrate while the substrate and its carrier are being rotated or spun therefore remains in liquid form and is received by the accumulator without any drying action or other impairment, and hence can be complete reused.
Yet a further feature of the present invention is that it readily lends itself to a continuous and high speed production process. The presently illustrated apparatus includes provision for such a process. Specifically, multiple drying chambers are provided to work in conjunction with a single coating machine having a coating chamber. An individual drying chamber is loaded with a carrier bearing a substrate that is to be coated; the drying chamber is brought into communication with the coating chamber of the coating machine; the carrier and substrate are transferred from the drying chamber into the coating chamber; the coating operation is performed on the substrate; the carrier and newly coated substrate are transferred back to the drying chamber; drying action is initiated, and is continued while the drying chamber is being withdrawn away from the coating chamber; and then another drying chamber bearing another carrier with substrate that is to be coated is brought into communication with the coating chamber and the entire process is repeated. High speed and high efficiency of this process are achieved by virtue of the fact that each carrier together with the substrate it bears is transferred between the two chambers without substantial impairment of the vaporous solvent atmosphere inside the coating chamber. Therefore, no time need be lost in reestablishing the vaporous atmosphere.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a continuous production machine in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional elevational view taken on the line 2--2 of FIG. 1 and showing the coating and drying apparatus;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view taken on the line 3--3 of FIG. 2 showing the turntable with a substrate base carried thereon;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional elevational view of the turntable assembly and substrate base in the lower or coating position;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional elevational view showing the substrate base during the course of its vertical movement between the coating and drying chambers;
FIG. 6 is a view like FIG. 5 but showing the substrate base after it has been lifted up from the turntable within the drying chamber; and
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary top plan view of the turntable assembly taken on the line 7--7 of FIG. 6.
Reference is now made to FIG. 1 which illustrates generally an apparatus that is adapted for carrying out a continuous manufacturing process in accordance with the present invention. An operator 10 sits at a table 11 above which a rotating turret assembly 20 is positioned. The turret 20 is supported on a vertical shaft 21 and has four horizontal arms 22, 23, 24, 25 which are located in a common plane at the top of the shaft. Adjacent arms are separated by an angle of 90 degrees. Turret heads 22a, 23a, 24a, 25a are positioned at the ends of corresponding ones of the turret arms.
As shown in FIG. 1 the turret arms 25, 22, and 23 are positioned above the work table 11, but the work table does not extend beneath the location of turret arm 24. There is instead a coating machine 50 which is located underneath the turret head 24a.
A substrate base or carrier 40, shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, is used to support a substrate S that is to be coated. Operator 10 is provided with a continuing series of the loaded carriers 40. Each carrier or substrate base is then loaded into an empty turret head immediately to the right of where operator 10 sits. As shown in FIG. 1 this is the turret head 23a. The location of that turret head in FIG. 1 is considered to be the loading station. After that turret head is loaded the turret rotates by 90 degrees so that the newly loaded turret head then arrives at the coating machine 50. At the same time a carrier or substrate base 40 that had been coated in the coating machine, and was then removed from the coating machine, is transported by the turret through an angular movement of 90 degrees. It then arrives at the cooling station location, which is the location of turret head 25a as shown in FIG. 1. On the next rotation of the turret the carrier or substrate base at the cooling station will be moved to the unloading station, on the left of operator 10, where it will be unloaded from the turret head. As shown in FIG. 1 the unloading station is occupied by turret head 22a.
Reference is now made to FIG. 2 illustrating the coating machine 50. A housing or main frame 51 supported on legs 51a is in the form of a generally cylindrical tank and has a horizontal top wall 52, a horizontal divider wall 53 that is some distance below the top wall, another horizontal divider wall 54 at a still lower location, and a horizontal bottom wall 55. Horizontal divider 53 has a central opening 57 surrounded by a short cylindrical wall 58 that extends upward from the horizontal divider 53. A solvent bath 60 is disposed upon the upper surface of horizontal divider 53 and surrounds the stub cylinder 58.
Because of the continuous existence of the solvent bath 60 on the interior of the housing 51, the space between the top wall 52 and the horizontal divider 54 is filled with solvent in a vaporous form. More specifically in the apparatus as presently illustrated the vapor is at a saturation pressure level. The saturated vapor acts, in a sense, like rain drops, continuously catching particles of dust or contaminants inside the closed atmosphere of the housing to prevent contamination of the substrate and its coating.
An important element of the coating machine is a turntable 70 which is supported on its under side by an elongated shaft 71. The shaft 71 can be raised and lowered in order to raise or lower the turntable 70. In FIG. 2 the turntable 70 is shown in its lowered position, which is used for the coating operation. The turntable will be raised to its upper position, as shown in FIG. 5, when the carrier 40 is to be either received from the drying chamber contained in one of the turret heads or else is to be returned to that drying chamber.
A reservoir 80 holding liquid photo resist material 81 is positioned above and to the left of housing 51 as shown in FIG. 2. A valve 82 controls the flow of liquid photo resist material from the tank 80 through a tube 83 to a dispensing arm or tube 84. The lateral position of dispensing arm 84 is controlled by a retracting arm 85 which in turn is controlled by a solenoid 86. More specifically, when a coating operation is to be commenced the lower end or mouth of the dispensing arm 84 is positioned over the radial center of turntable 70 as shown in FIG. 2, and hence also over the radial center of both the carrier 40 and the substrate S. Valve 82 is then opened for a short period of time sufficient to allow the downward flow of the necessary amount of liquid photo resist material which is, therefore, deposited at the radial center of the substrate S. When this has been accomplished the solenoid 86 is operated, and acting through the arm 85 causes dispensing arm 84 to rotate in a horizontal plane and hence move completely clear of the central opening 57 through the bulkhead 53.
A collector 90 of generally conical configuration is positioned within the housing 51 and underneath the lower position of turntable 70. As shown in FIG. 2 this collector is welded to the interior wall of tank 51, and is also inclined at an angle so that its lowermost point is on the right-hand side of the tank as shown in FIG. 2. Excess liquid photo resist material 91 is collected at this point and flows outward through a permanently installed tube 92 into a bottle or container 93 that acts as an accumulator of the excess photo resist material. This excess material can therefore be reused.
Central opening 57 in bulkhead 53 is of such size that the turntable 70 can easily pass through it. This movement, though not specifically shown, occurs each time that the turntable is raised in order to receive a new carrier with accompanying substrate that requires coating, or to return a newly coated substrate with its supporting carrier to the turret head from which it was delivered.
Within the housing 51 and below the bulkhead 54 there is a rotary drive assembly generally designated as 100 which surrounds the turntable shaft 71 and imparts rotating drive to it. Any conventional construction of such rotating drive may be employed and it is not necessary to describe the specific details of the rotary drive mechanism illustrated in the present drawings.
Turntable shaft 71 extends through the bottom wall 55 of housing 51 and to the under side of the housing where a vertical drive mechanism 110 is located. The lower end of turntable shaft 71 is supported on a thrust plate 111 by means of thrust bearings which permit the rotation of the shaft relative to that plate. Plate 111 in turn may be selectively raised or lowered by the vertical drive whose principal component is a pneumatic actuator 112. Here again it is not necessary to further describe specific details of the vertical drive since any suitable mechanism may be employed for this purpose. An elongated key 72 carried by shaft 71 is engaged by the rotary drive in both raised and lowered positions of the turntable.
The carrier or substrate base 40 is secured in its desired position by means of vacuum. Two separate vacuum systems are utilized, one in the coating machine 50 and the other in the turrent 20. In general, the vacuum system inside the coating machine is utilized for holding the carrier 40 on the turntable 70 within the coating machine. The vacuum system in the turret is utilized to hold the carrier inside its associated turret head. When the carrier is being transferred from the drying chamber (turret head) to the coating chamber, or vice versa, it is necessary to release one vacuum system while bringing the other into operation. While this technique is not novel per se and would be readily understood, it will be helpful nevertheless to describe the manner in which it has been embodied in the present apparatus.
As shown in FIG. 2, a vacuum generator 120 is coupled through a hose 121 and a rotatable coupling 122 to the lower end of turntable shaft 71, which is hollow through its length. Thus as best seen in FIGS. 6 and 7 an interior passageway 75 extends to the upper end of shaft 71 and opens into a plurality of radially extending grooves 77 formed on the upper surface of turntable 70. The radial length of grooves 77 is substantially less than the radial length of substrate base or carrier 40, see FIGS. 4 and 5.
Thus when the substrate base or carrier 40 is supported on turntable 70 its lower flat surface fully covers the upper end of vacuum passageway 75 and also encloses the upper sides of all of the radial grooves 77. A vacuum sealing ring 78 is carried in a circumferential groove in the upper face of turntable 70 a short distance outside the radial extremities of the groove 77. The vacuum communicated through passageway 75 and grooves 77 pulls the carrier 40 downward against the turntable, and the seal ring 78 prevents any significant leakage of atmosphere or the solvent vapor into the vacuum system.
Turntable 70 also carries a sealing ring 79 located in a circumferential groove near its outer periphery. The top wall 52 of housing 51 has a central aperture 52a which is of sufficient diameter to permit the passage therethrough of a substrate base or carrier 40. See FIGS. 2 and 5. The relationship that exists between the parts of the machine when the carrier is being transferred between chambers is shown in FIG. 5. The outer seal ring 79 on the upper surface of turntable 70 engages the under side of housing common wall 52, thereby preventing escape of the solvent vapor from the coating chamber into the drying chamber.
Turret arm 24, FIGS. 2 and 5, has a hollow interior containing a vacuum line. The turret head 24a, FIGS. 2 and 5, is adapted to receive the carrier 40 and to retain and support it by vacuum suction. In its circumferential lower face 120, see FIG. 6, the turret head has inner and outer sealing rings 121, 122, which are similar to those on the turntable. Outer sealing ring 122 engages the upper surface of housing top 52, see FIG. 5, for preventing outside atmosphere from entering into the interior of the equipment. Inner sealing ring 121 engages an upper flat surface of carrier 40 in order to maintain the necessary vacuum suction for supporting the carrier.
The carrier or substrate base 40, perhaps best seen in FIG. 4, is arranged generally in the form of a truncated cone but with stepped circumferential surfaces. Thus the first or outer flat surface 41 is adapted for sealing engagement with the sealing ring 121 of the turret head. The second and slightly higher step, not specifically identified, has a flat metal ring 42 permanently mounted thereon. The third and higher step has a flat ring 43 of still smaller diameter permanently mounted thereon. The central portion of the carrier 40 is at a still higher elevation and bears a flat heating pad 44 across its entire surface, as best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4. A connection 42a between the flat heating pad 44 and the outer contact ring 42 is made through an interior groove or recess in the upper surface of the carrier that passes underneath the inner contact ring 43. A connection 43a is also made between the inner contact ring 43 and the heating pad 44.
Turret head 24a contains a spring-mounted inner contact 125 connected to an electrical circuit wire 126. It also contains an outer spring-mounted contact 127 connected to an electrical circuit wire 128. When the carrier 40 is fully received within the turrent head the spring contacts 125, 127 engage the electrical contact rings 43, 42, respectively. At the appropriate time electrical energy is supplied to the conductors 126, 128 which therefore results in the passage of electrical current through the heating pad 44, producing a heating action on the upper surface of the carrier 40.
The substrate S is generally a very thin wafer of semiconductor material whose thickness has been exaggerated for purpose of the present drawings. Substrate S is positioned on the upper flat surface of the heating pad 44, see FIG. 3. It is held in place by a set of three pins or stops P which are placed at 120 degree intervals around its circumference. Each pin has a sharp vertical edge which engages the lateral edge surface of the substrate, but the pin does not pass over the upper surface of the substrate. In FIGS. 4 and 6, for example, the drawings would seem to indicate that the pins P do pass over the upper surface of the substrate, but in fact they do not, as clearly appears from FIG. 3.
Thus it will be seen that the substrate S may be placed upon the carrier 40 which will transport it throughout the coating and drying process. Then the substrate with its complete coating can be removed from the carrier, which is ready to receive another substrate for repeating the process.
In operating the production machine of FIG. 1 the turret 20 is rotated progressively in the same direction, but one step at a time. The turret is also raised and lowered accompanying each step of rotation. The turret is raised in order to ring the carrier 40 out of aperture 52a as well as provide a clearance space above the chamber top wall 52. In raising the turret the seal between the turret head and the machine housing is broken at a sealing ring 122, but the vacuum seal with the carrier 40 remains in effect at the seal 121. At this time the turntabe 70 remains in engagement with wall 52 on its under side, in order to protect the solvent atmosphere inside the housing.
When a new carrier with substrate to be coated is brought into position the turret is then lowered so that the associated turret head engages the wall 52. The vacuum suction delivered from the turret arm is interrupted in order to release the carrier from the turret head. Vacuum is supplied to the turntable from vacuum generator 120. The turntable is then dropped down to its lower position.
The next step is to rotate the dispensing arm 84 to its operative position as shown in FIG. 2. Then valve 32 is operated for releasing a quantity of photo resist on the surface of substrate S. Then rotary drive 100 is actuated in order to rotate the turntable. When coating a semi-conductor wafer the turntable may, for example, be rotated at about 3,000 revolutions per minute for approximately one minute. Then rotating drive is turned off.
Dispensing arm 84 has in the meantime been moved out of the way. Turntable 70 is now raised until it engages the upper wall 52 of the housing as shown in FIG. 5. A limited amount of the solvent vapor is captured in the drying chamber at this time. At this time the electrical circuit 126, 128 may be energized so as to heat the substrate and thereby commence drying the coating. The vacuum supplied to the turret head is restored, thus causing the solvent vapor in the drying chamber to be sucked out, and producing a drying action which assists the action of electrical circuit 126, 128 in drying the coating. Vacuum supply to the turntable is cut off. The turret is now raised, taking the carrier 40 and coated substrate S with it. The drying operation may be continued for some time after the carrier has been removed from the coating machine.
The time required to load a carrier into the coating machine, coat the substrate, and then remove the carrier with its coated substrate, is of the order of two minutes. Thus the machine is capable of coating quite a number of substrates per hour in a continuous process. If it is desired to extend the drying time then the turret may be provided with a greater number of arms, so that the drying time for each substrate coating may be a fairly large multiple of the time that the substrate actual spends in the coating machine.
The invention has been described in considerable detail in order to comply with the patent laws by providing a full public disclosure of at least one of its forms. However, such detailed description is not intended in any way to limit the broad features or principles of the invention, or the scope of patent monopoly to be granted.

Morning Glory Seeds - Heavenly Blue
Family: Convolvulaceae
Genus: Ipomoea
Species: Violacea/Tricolor
Common Names: Morning Glory, Heavenly Blue
Morning Glory lovers are usually familiar with this beautiful variety of Ipomoea violacea, which produces long climbing vines covered in brilliant blue flowers with a white and yellow center. This variety usually blooms during the first year of planting, and climb very rapidly, easily covering any garden trellis or fence. These organic, untreated seeds produce a a gorgeous climbing vine that is extremely easy to take care of, making a colorful addition to any Shaman's Garden.
Morning Glories have a rich historical tradition. The Aztecs believed that Morning Glory seeds were connected with the Sun Gods, and the Chontal and Mazatecs of Oaxaca believe that the plant carries strong spiritual energy, and is inhabited by a very powerful spirit, which connects humans with the realms of the gods.
We are excited to be able to offer these high quality organic and untreated Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds! Spraying these seeds with chemicals weakens the strain, greatly reduces germination rates and, (if you feel that these plants are sacred, as we do), is quite disrespectful to the plant as well! We are careful to offer these seeds with a great deal of care, so that you can enjoy the full glory of this beautiful vine!
Cultivation Instructions: The species is a perennial, but is usually cultivated as an annual in North America, as the plants do not tolerate cold. Soak the seeds for several hours before sowing. Plant them 1/4" 1/2" deep, no further than 6" apart. They require full sunlight and plenty of water. Constantly damp roots produce few flowers, though, so be careful not to overwater!
These viable seeds are not for human or animal consumption. They are sold for cultivation purposes only.

Keep your chaise looking its best with slip covers
Chaise lounges are one of the most practical and comfortable pieces of furniture anyone can own. You can use them outdoors for patio seating and poolside lounging or you can use them indoors to add a more room to a couch or drama to a room. But, after a summer full of bright sun, chlorinated water, a winter full of rain, your dog Patches climbing all over them, and possibly some coffee or Merlot spilled on them I'll bet your chaise lounge cushions are looking a little shabby.
But why spend the money and time replacing these outdoor and indoor furniture cushions when you don't have to? Investing in chaise lounge slip covers will save you time, money, and keep you up to date on all the latest styles.
A Cover Up Connoisseur
If you haven't heard about or haven't used a slip cover in your life, you've been missing out. These specialty fitted pieces of fabric are life savers for those of us who "can't have nice things"! Don't like the tacky fabric the piece came with, cover it with a chic slip cover. Can't believe you spilled a glass of wine all over your white cushions, no one will know under that slip cover. Who ever invented these things was a genius, and maybe a klutz.
If you're chaise lounge is an outdoor piece of furniture, they make the chaise cushion slip covers or just chaise cushions that are water proof, or at the very least water resistant, that way when it rains and pours you're covered.
Most slip cover fabrics are stain resistant and machine washable so you can change your chaise lounge cushion's slip cover as often as you change your mood, style, or season. Here's a style hint: always opt for brighter, cleaner, or even muted pastels in the spring and summer months they'll add light and make your chaise the center of the room. In the cooler months opt for the warm colors of fall like mulled wine, rich browns, and leafy greens, and if the winter opt for the cool colors of the season such as white, ice blue, or silver.
If you have a chaise lounge, and its slip covered, let us know how much you love the chaise and cover with comments and pictures below.

Obama Apologizes To Art History Professor
By editor
Originally published on Thu February 20, 2014 5:38 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. When President Obama told a crowd at an auto plant that young people could make a lot more money in skilled manufacturing than with an art history degree, Ann Collins Johns was offended. So this professor of art history at the University of Texas Austin dashed off an email to the president. Yesterday she got a handwritten apology. The president shared with Johns that, quote, art history was one of my favorite subjects in high school. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, however, TBI appears to account for about 22% of casualties. All patients admitted to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the period January 2003–February 2005 who had been exposed to blasts were routinely evaluated for brain injury, and 59% of them were found to have TBI. Of those injuries, 56% were moderate or severe, and 44% were mild. In many people who sustain mild TBI, the effects might not be immediately evident and might not be evident with conventional neuroimaging. That clearly presents a problem for VA with regard to preparation for the return of veterans from OEF and OIF with TBI that might not be apparent.
Throughout OEF and OIF, explosive devices have become more powerful, their detonation systems more creative, and their additives more devastating. According to the Department of Defense (DoD) Personnel and Procurement Statistics, 75% of all US military casualties in OEF and OIF are caused by explosive weaponry. As of January 2008, DOD reported that over 5,500 soldiers had suffered TBIs. As a continuing threat to our troops, blast injury, especially blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT), has been called the signature wound of the war in Iraq. In both civilian and military environments, exposure to a blast might cause instant death, injuries with immediate manifestation of symptoms, or injuries with delayed manifestation. BINT is a complex type of TBI that features closed (blunt) head injury that may be accompanied by polytrauma. The pathobiology of BINT parallels that seen in TBI, including secondary injury cascades that result in vasogenic and cytotoxic edema, emerging hemorrhagic lesions, metabolic disturbances, compromise of neural and glial structures that leads to cell death, and diffuse axonal injury in cases of sudden brain acceleration and deceleration.
As of June 30, 2008, there had been about 1.64 million US deployments as part of OEF and OIF and 4,128 US troop fatalities. The ratio of wounded troops to troop fatalities, 7.37:1, is higher than that in previous military conflicts, probably because of the widespread use of body armor, improved battlefield medical response, and advances in aeromedical evacuation. Despite those improvements, military personnel continue to be critically wounded, and TBI continues to be a source of concern. Furthermore, there is an outdated dogma that neurologic impairments caused by primary blasts are rare because the skull provides excellent protection for the brain, that is, that brain injury is a consequence solely of air emboli in cerebral blood vessels. Despite recent clinical findings, experimental findings, and experience in contemporary military operations that suggest that substantial short-term and long-term neurologic deficits can be caused by blast exposure without a direct blow to the head, the old belief prevails in the professional literature and in civilian clinical practice. Indeed, information on blast injuries consists mainly of the consequences of secondary and tertiary blast mechanisms. Although BINT is one cause of in-theater injuries, it is often underdiagnosed. Its complex clinical syndrome is caused by the combination of all blast effects. It is noteworthy that blast injuries are usually manifested in a form of polytrauma, that is, injury involving multiple organs or organ systems.
The charge to this IOM committee was to examine the strength of the evidence of an association between TBI and long-term health effects. The committee also was to consider the severity of TBI (that is, mild, moderate, and severe) and possible long-term consequences.

Astron 6's MANBORG (2012) from MPI 4/30
The Canadian troupe Astron 6's follow-up to FATHER'S DAY has finally been announced for US release from MPI. (I assume it'll be a Dark Sky title.)
I caught the film at last year's ActionFest and am a little mixed on it -- I thought there were some really fun spots, but overall felt the premise was a little too thin for a feature. In its defense, I had already watched five other movies that day and hadn't gotten any sleep for about three days. I'll be curious to see how it plays on a rewatch -- FATHER'S DAY just gets funnier and funnier to me.
This looks kind of fun, but I wasn't a huge fan of Father's Day either. I agree, their films feel too long and would probably work better as shorts before the joke gets old.
My first viewing of Father's Day, I didn't think it was all that great either. I recently watched it again, and had a much better time with. I actually really enjoyed it. I still gotta check out their shorts.
Manborg looks great,…I will definitely check it out.
I grew up on cheesy 80s action/scifi movies and this is supposed to be an homage to that genre. I picked up the DVD yesterday but haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
I like the cover art.
Manborg was a lot of fun. Big fan of Father's Day.
I've probably watched this trailer three times a day for the past two Weeks. It looks like a complete blast...Father's Day grew on me tenfold and I can't stop watchin the Astron 6 shorts...total homages that are absolutely hysterical. These Canadians are doing something right.
The best thing about it is that it only lasts about 62 minutes so it doesn't outstay its welcome.
Once the price lowers a bit for the disc, I'll order it. Astron-6 rules.
Your wish has been granted -- Amazon dropped MANBORG to $9.99.
bestbuy stores and walmart stores are going to carry this for only $10 cant pass that up!!! I hope Bio-Cop will be made into a full feature film!!!
BTW anyone notice this film looks like the old Sega CD-ROM games ground zero texas,night trap etc!!!
Review at Rock!Shock!Pop!!
My buddy just alerted me to this and of course I had to search for it on here. Sounds like it passed the test!
The trailer is perfect.
Watched it last night over a few beers and BBQ with friends, and it was a riot. I am very impressed by the humor, vision, and execution. They made this on a shoestring (reportedly $1,000)! Had me laughing throughout.
"Prisoner Number Seven....what a lovely name."
And BioCop was f-ing hysterical. Seeking out the rest of these films now.

NI mate and Cinema 4D
Maxon Computing: Cinema 4D
Cinema 4D is a very popular and well respected 3D suite from Maxon Computing Gmhb. Our official add-on for the software allows you instant access to tracking data coming from your Kinect. Plugin your Kinect, start up NI mate and the Cinema 4D plugin and do real-time motion capture for games and films.
From the Cinema 4D product webpages: CINEMA 4D Prime's intuitive interface is designed to ease you in to the powerful and exciting world of 3D graphics. With CINEMA 4D Prime you can start creating great-looking 3D images only hours after getting to know the application. Also, the included tutorials make understanding CINEMA 4D quick and easy. Adding CINEMA 4D Prime to your existing pipeline of 2D applications opens up a wealth of new design possibilities. For example: turn 2D artwork into 3D elements using import options such as Illustrator or EPS, or simply combine images or movies with 3D objects.
Using NI mate in Cinema 4D
Simply download the NI mate plugin and extract it to the Cinema 4D plugin folder. Restart Cinema 4D and you'll find the NI mate receiver v2.0 in the plugin menu. Please remember that this new plugin is still a work in progress, so it can contain some bugs or cause unexpected behavior.
Note for C4D v13: due to a bug in the early v13 plugin api make sure that you have updated to v13.051 or later, otherwise the recording functionality in the plugin will not work correctly.
For instructions on the old plugin (v1.0) you can check out this video tutorial on the basics of getting the plugin installed and working in Cinema 4D. While the plugin was designed for R13 and R14, we have had user reports that it works just fine in R12 as well.

Counseling Center
- Any unwanted sexual activity (ranging from unwanted sexual touching to forced penetration) or contact without explicit consent. Consent is a positive agreement between the individuals involved, to engage in sexual activity.
- Communicating Consent:
- A "no" or absence of resistance is not required to prevent sexual contact; where a verbal or nonverbal "yes" is required to permit sexual contact.
- Consent to one activity (such as kissing or touching) does not imply consent to a different activity, such as intercourse of the individual involved.
- Consent may be withdrawn at anytime during the sexual act.
- Unwanted sexual activity includes instances in which the individual is coerced or unable to give consent because of:
- Intoxication or Impairment
- Sleep
- Unconsciousness
- Communicating Consent:
Sexual assault can happen to anyone regardless of their gender, race, class, age, appearance, or sexual orientation. Approximately 10% of all sexual assault victims are male.
Some examples of Sexual Assault
- A date insists that you engage in sexual activity, even though you have said you do not want to.
- Your significant other forces you to have sex; a current or previous dating or marital relationship does not constitute consent.
- Someone gets you drunk or drugs you in order to engage in sexual activity with you.
What do I do if I am Sexually Assaulted?
- Get to a safe place and call someone you trust, such as a friend, relative, or Public Safety (716) 888-2330 or 711 (from a campus phone)/ Local Law Enforcement (911).
- Get medical attention immediately. In addition to treating injuries, a prompt medical examination will test for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. You do not have to press charges if you seek medical attention, however, should you decide to proceed with legal matters a medical examination can secure valuable evidence that can be used later should you wish to have the perpetrator prosecuted. If requested, someone will accompany you to the hospital.
- Preserve evidence. You should not drink, bathe, douche, brush teeth, change clothing or comb hair. It is only natural to want to do those things, but doing so may destroy evidence. You do not have to decide if you want to prosecute right away, but preserving the evidence helps if you decide to prosecute at a later date.
- Document the incident. As soon as possible you should write down every detail of the incident, as time passes you may recall additional details, be sure to document them as well.
- Get professional help and support. Regardless of whether the assault is reported, it is often helpful to seek support for a traumatic experience:
- Counseling Center 716-888-2620
- Campus Ministry 716-888-2420
- Crisis Services of Erie County 716-834-3131
What are my options when reporting a Sexual Assault?
There are options for reporting a sexual assault, and your right to make choices will be respected. College staff will neither coerce you to report a sexual assault, nor prevent or discourage you from reporting a sexual assault. You have the opportunity to pursue all legal and/or disciplinary remedies without academic penalty by the College.
- Judicial Process – External
You may file a report with the local police. The police and the District Attorney's Office will handle the legal proceedings. You may reach the local police at 911 or Buffalo Police Sex Offence Unit at 716-851-4494.
- Judicial Process – Internal
If the perpetrator is a member of the Canisius College Community, you also have the option to file a report through the College disciplinary system. Any campus proceeding will be handled with sensitivity and with respect for privacy. Your report may be filed with Public Safety or the Dean of Students. All reports will be investigated and individuals found to be in violation of the college policy will face a variety of sanctions. For more information or clarification about this process please contact the Counseling Center or the Dean of Students. Please note that the Dean of Students cannot guarantee confidentiality.

How do I help a friend who has been Sexually Assaulted?
- Listen and believe them. Make sure they feel supported and in control as much as possible.
- Encourage them to seek medical attention and support, but remember that it is their decision.
- Assure them that it was not their fault.
- Provide comfort and safety. Make sure you are there for them. Ask them what you can do to be helpful.
- Keep all conversations private. Build a trusting relationship.
- Be patient. Remember that healing from any type of trauma takes time.
- Seek help for yourself. It may be overwhelming to deal with your own feelings or response in addition to your friend's. Talk to someone else about this.
How can I reduce my risk of becoming a victim of date or acquaintance rape?
While you can never completely protect yourself from sexual assault, there are some things you can do to help reduce your risk of being assaulted.
- Be assertive. Communicate your limits clearly. Be direct and firm.
- Attend social gatherings with friends you trust. Watch out for one another. Arrive together, check-in with each other, and leave together.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe in any situation, go with your gut.
- Don't leave your drink unattended.
- Don't accept drinks from people you don't know.
- If you suspect you or your friend has been drugged, get medical treatment immediately.

WAUWATOSA — Police say three were killed and four were injured in a shooting incident early Sunday afternoon, October 21st at the Azana Salon & Spa across the street from the Brookfield Square Mall. Froedtert Hospital officials have released some details on those injured in the shooting in a statement to FOX6 News.
Three victims were found dead inside the Azana Salon & Spa building, along with the gunman — 45-year-old Radcliffe Haughton, who was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Froedtert officials say all four individuals taken to the hospital for treatment are females who suffered gunshot wounds.
Brookfield police said Sunday evening, the injured victims transported to the hospital include a 22-year-old female, a 30-year-old female, a 32-year-old female and a 40-year-old female.
Two of these gunshot victims underwent surgery. One had an emergency operation Sunday afternoon and is listed in critical condition. Another had a short operation Sunday afternoon, and is listed in satisfactory condition.
A third patient is expected to have surgery later Sunday, and is listed in satisfactory condition.
A fourth patient did not require surgery and is listed in satisfactory condition.
Dr. Gary Seabrook — the head of surgical services at Froedtert told the media during a press conference Sunday evening his staff acted "heroically" compounded by fear the gunman may have been in the hospital.
In a statement, Froedtert officials said: "We mobilized the appropriate physicians, nurses and operating room personnel to care for the victims. This is consistent with many drills we run to be prepared for mass casualty situations as a Level 1 Trauma Center. We were fully prepared to handle this situation with staff currently in the hospital. No additional staff were called in."
Froedtert Hospital was placed on lockdown, as of 1:45 p.m. — with no one allowed to enter or exit the hospital, and movement within the hospital forbidden. Froedtert's lockdown was lifted just before 4:30 p.m. Children's Hospital of Wisconsin was also placed on lockdown, but shortly before 4:00 p.m. Sunday that lockdown was lifted.
Officials placed the hospitals under lockdown for portions of the afternoon because the location of the shooter was unknown, and officials feared he may show up at the hospital to finish the job. Froedtert officials said the lockdown was strictly a precautionary measure. Hospital security, Wauwatosa police and Milwaukee County Sheriff's officials patrolled hospital grounds.
Froedtert officials say they perform drills to prepare for lockdowns, but it is a rare situation. Some hospital workers told FOX6 News off camera they thought Sunday's events were a drill.
Police located Haughton's vehicle — a 2003 Mazda Protege (not in Brookfield — though the location has not been indicated). It wasn't until a few hours later until Haughton's body was found inside the Azana Salon & Spa building. Police said Haughton took a cab to the salon.
Police said Sunday night their investigation at the Azana Salon & Spa building is in its infancy. They continue to scour the 9,000 square foot facility as their investigation continues.
Police have said police social workers and mental health professionals are working with victims and their families.

I really don't like Sci-Fi mmo's but this one has enough sandbox features to interest me a little. I may have to try it, depending on how other mmorpg games end up being this year.

I'm a backer. So far the dev team is just outstanding as well. I don't believe JoshuaHalls sleeps- he seems to be a machine... The parts of this game I'm looking forward to the most are the ones that smell similar to SWG. Especially the crafting system and player housing. Definitely check out the official website, tons of good info there.

This is another open world ffa pvp game, nothing for pveers to do accept sit inside city and craft.
This is another game to please those less then 10% of gamers.
I bet that this game is going to stop taking care of bugs after few month due to low income.
But anyway, eventualy game developers would learn the hard way from their loss.

Withdrawn, devs addressed my concerns with recent newsletters and interviews. Thank you.

Nobody knows how easy or common a successful city takeover will be, but I'm guessing it will be rare unless that guild is not able to defend it themselves or build an alliance.
I am not a hardcore pvper, but I enjoy it. I believe there is a large population of people like myself who think modern pvp is a joke with the instanced "fair" warzones and flagging systems that lead to a watered down pvp experience where people only pvp when they outnumber the enemy....both of which have no risk Vs reward elements or objectives.
Waiting on: The Repopulation
You think flagging systems and warzones (matched play) lead to watered down pvp where people only pvp when they outnumber the enemy? You've got that completely backwards. Warzones mitigate outnumbered situations by presenting matched play. Warzones and matches introduce victory conditions, strategies, teamwork... Open world PvP, in contrast is 99% guaranteed to present one case after another of mis-matched numbers of opponents (of balanced classes otherwise) where superior numbers win in ganking exercises that players hate with a passion as the banal, thoughtless gameplay that it is, where superior numbers heal and overwhelm the inferior numbered players. That's not multiplayer combat, nor challenging, nor strategic, it's just childs play of open world PvP, aka Lego PvP. That driven by player's QQ'ing about "this class is OP", "alpha classes are bad", "no Jedi", and all the other rhetoric about how classes have to be perfectly balanced, making devs chase their tails to make class perfectly balanced all the time (constant drain on resources) or players quit, and as a result of having to always have balanced classes, so no surprises, no danger, no doubt, no risk... it's always:
5 v 3 = 3 dead
10 v 3 = 3 dead
3 v 1 = 1 dead
It's banal nonsense at best.
My hope is, that this game is not 10-v-3 = 3 dead PvP-gank exercise. That since there are no player levels, and wide variety of professions (70+?), such that when 3 players approach a solo player, they should have some doubt, some danger, that this 1 guy can kill any or all of them, and maybe even walk away as the survivor. That's the way open world should be, pick your battles, pick your fights, and be smart. Not just mindless ganking exercises where superior numbers = Win. This may be that game.

1. There will be non-instanced housing (not cities) that cannot be taken by means of pvp. The developers have already mentioned that city take-overs will not be happening left and right. It will not be a common occurrence. You ask "what's the point" regarding city sieges if there won't be successful take-overs every week? Risk and making it valuable.
2. PvP in SWG was "ok" pre-cu. Base busting raids were some fun, but pointless. Due to this, the biggest guilds that I saw left the game. City sieges adds a dimension of risk Vs reward and a way to allow players a chance to get a city if they don't have one. Not every guild and player can have their own city, there just isn't any way with a limited game world.
3. Flagging and instanced warzone pvp is not fun for many old school pvpers. There is an aspect of factional pride and bonding that happens with open world pvp. It happened in SWG to a degree, and could be even more exciting in a non-flagging system.
You obviously have an aversion to open world PvP. That's ok, but it's simple minded to say the world "failure" over and over like you did just because a lot of people don't like it. A lot of people DO like it as well. The success of this game isn't going to be determined by 500K+ players, it will be determined by whatever goal the developers have in mind.
Waiting on: The Repopulation
My concerns are this, and an update follows after some late-breaking clarificatoin by devs:
1. already addressed that regarding apartments =/ player cities and depth of player cities. You're skating the issue.
2. agree city sieges adds an interesting dimension, which also by the way is not true PvP, but includes strong - if not driving - PvE elements of defense turrets and barracks (NPC troops). However, linking these PvE/PvP "bases" to traditional tenets of MMO "player cities" is a design paradigm that is fatal and not necessary. This dynamic could easily be accomplished by bases, that have the same dynamics, same features, same risks, same rewards... while maintaining player cities and all the associated guild glue and player activities, depth of roles and gameplay, behind the lines.
3. that's hardly compelling reasons to sink an MMO.
Your attributing an aversion to open world PvP to me is weak and unfounded, and skates over the experiences, consequences, and outcomes that have been stated clearly. I don't have an aversion to a word, but many underlying issues and outcomes. Don't simplify it to the point that critical thinking doesn't apply and we deal with it on rhetorical terms that lead to bad conclusions and outcomes. An MMO can fail on those terms, and as an industry, have a terrible track record.
Let's step aside for a minute also, to the reason I returned to the boards today. I wanted to add that the fact that they hook player cities and all the guild's infrastructure and community glue to contested land and subject it to destruction time and again, to ultimately destroy the engagement and glue of players to guilds, and guilds to MMO...
... what drives this other than artifice? Why am I a nation belonging to one faction? Why would I ally or oppose another nation? Is it religeous? Is it political? Is it random chance? For what reason do I enter the game, build a nation, and choose to ally with 5 other nations in counterpoint to 10 other nations who do the same against me?
What determines - rationally or logically (or chance) - that 10 nations are going to ally against me and set out to ruin my guild's infrastructure and community?
"hey ally with us, we're gaining steam and going to be unbeatable, then we can go destroy all the others"
"why do I ally with you"
"because, we're already big, and that way we can't be beat, and we can raid everyone else"
"but I don't like you or what you stand for. Frankly you act and sound like a jerk that wants to be a griefer to others, and your guild name alone "Greifers" says it all, doesn't it?"
"doesn't matter, OK, if you want to be on the wrong side of the numbers, have it your way, we'll just get that other nation that we were going to conquer and you can be conquered instead"
"OK, then, I guess I'll join you"
Then, you're the ones who the 10 nations didn't happen to talk to first, and so you're odd man out, and for no other reason than where you were on the contact list, you're in the cross hairs of the others and conquered, and your guild is devestated, and your community is destroyed, and players quit the game, and players leave the guild. We all know how hard it is already to keep players engaged in a guild, and keep a guild alive, right?
And for what? For chance and random alignment? And for no good reason being on the side with numbers, or being on the side that gets the target on your back? It's basically what I describe for the banality of open world PvP as often implemented, the 10-v-3 = 3 dead, but now taken to a guild level, where 10-v-3 = 3 dead is not referring to players, but to guilds.
A sandbox game that would thrive, would be enjoyable features and systems (crafting, profession, pvp, raids, merchants, activities and ventures, ...) where players can thrive and enjoy, build, be creative, progression...
In this case, what might work instead is that player cities (could just be big buildings with interior guildhall features, market, and instanced apartments to serve as a guild core) are sustained as "guild-centric infrastructure" preserved behind the lines, and put guild bases (outside of player cities) in contested areas that don't put the guild's core infrastructure under the axe, but put bases and related features and infrastructure at risk with all the same features (turrets, barracks, NPC troops), and same rewards for doing so (access to whatever, forward base of operations, faction rewards, whatever the devs had intended as carrots) and with appropriate rewards and motivation to do it again when faced with destruction. That way, PvP has motivation, engagement, infrastruture, activities, etc., without destroying guilds and the myriad roles and activities that traditionally accompany player cities.
Update: Devs have described a portable structure system that preserves the creativity of your structures design and contents, such that if lost to conquest, can be replaced in another location without missing a beat, so your work is not lost, just your location. I'm satisfied with that for the time being. Let's see what they got, and the other system features seem robust, rich, and engaging. The concerns above are still question marks, but appreciate the big picture so far and will give it a try. After two decades of waiting for a good MMO built on solid foundations, it's time we got one. This has promise.

So true I haven't seen a DEV Team so in touch with their future player base like this before.
Many dev teams are very engaged and responsive ... up until game play doesn't deliver and things quickly sour ... which so happens to be the track record for MMO's as an industry due to hubris and a lack of subscribing to design best practices.

Stocks are sometimes called "equities" because they represent a share, or a piece of equity, in a company. In other words, when you buy stock in a company, you're actually buying a small piece of that company.
As a part owner, you're entitled to share in any profits the company makes. These profits are distributed in the form of dividends. You also profit through "capital appreciation" – growth in the price of the company's stock. Stocks are not a great option for short-term investors because of their potential for unexpected price swings.
