1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a method of removing noble metal contaminants from a mineral acid bath, and more particularly, in the manufacturing of packaged semiconductor devices, a method for removing contaminant Po-210 from a heated phosphoric acid bath using silicon as a getter.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the process of manufacturing large scale integrated circuits (LSI) from a silicon substrate or wafer, phosphoric acid is often used as a solution to selectively remove silicon nitride.
Phosphoric acid commonly contains trace elements of Polonium-210 (Po-210). Po-210 is a radioactive element and a source of alpha radiation emissions. Levels of Po-210 and, in proportion, alpha emissions, vary depending on the content of Po-210 in phosphorous used to make the acid solution. The Po-210 present in any deposit of phosphorous is a function of the natural decay of U-238. Po-210 Levels may vary greatly from an imperceptible emission level to significant alpha emissions.
It is well known in the industry that alpha particle emissions are one of several known causes of soft errors in LSI memory devices. Soft errors have been defined to be random, non-recurring single bit errors in memory devices. They are not permanent, i.e., no physical defects are associated with the failed bit. A bit showing a soft error is completely recovered by the following write cycle, for example in a dynamic memory device where refresh of memory stored data occurs every several nanoseconds.
Other identified causes of soft errors are system noise, voltage marginality, sense amplifiers and pattern sensitivity, all statistical predictors of the rate at which soft errors will occur (SER).
Po-210, when present in phosphoric acid in the etching process, has been identified as a source of alpha particle emissions. Po-210 has an affinity for Silicon (Si) in the acid bath and plates onto the surface of the Si wafers which are being etched for production of finished LSI memory and other devices. The Po-210 remains bonded at surface sites on the silicon wafer, through later subsequent manufacturing steps. The finished LSI circuit or die results in a memory device with internally emitted alpha particles. The alpha particles are emitted by the Po-210 contaminating the die Thus, the memory device becomes itself a source of contribution of SER.
Silicon is employed as a "getter" to attract Polonium 210 (Po-210) molecules and remove them from the liquid phosphoric acid bath. Getter is used in this instance to describe silicon as the attracting agent which reacts with the noble metal, Po-210 in this example. The mechanism for this attraction is described as follows: The getter is the vehicle for removing the contaminating noble metal. Gettering refers to the act of attracting and removing the trace elements through the reduction of the trace elements onto silicon. Noble metals include silver, gold, copper, platinum, palladium, mercury, selenium and bismuth, in addition to Polonium.
In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a method of removing noble metal trace elements from a mineral acid is disclosed, comprising the steps of heating a liquid mineral acid in a container, inserting a silicon getter into the acid in fluid contact with the acid, and removing the silicon getter from said mineral acid.
A method is set forth, wherein the liquid acid is heated to a temperature of approximately 145-150 degrees C. The mineral acid is selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid, and any acidic solution of pH 6 or lower. The mineral acid contains at least a trace of a noble metal. The noble metal is selected from the group consisting of Polonium, gold, silver, platinum, copper, palladium, mercury, selenium and bismuth. The getter is inserted in the liquid mineral acid for at least thirty minutes.
A method of adsorbing Po-210 with a silicon getter from a phosphoric acid solution comprises the steps of providing liquid phosphoric acid in a container, heating the container of liquid phosphoric acid to between 145 degrees C. and 150 degrees C., inserting at least one silicon article into an open vessel, placing the vessel into the acid bath at least until reaching process temperature, soaking the silicon article in the liquid phosphoric acid and removing the vessel from the container.
An improved method of manufacturing electronic semiconductor integrated circuits is also disclosed. The method of substantially eliminating α-particle emissions attributable to manufacturing materials, comprises the steps of providing a quantity of phosphoric acid having at least a portion composed of Polonium-210, then heating the quantity of phosphoric acid to a temperature suitable for removal of silicon nitride from a silicon wafer, inserting a silicon getter into the phosphoric acid during or following the heating step, next removing the silicon getter from the phosphoric acid, and etching silicon nitride from a semiconductor wafer having wiring paths defined thereon.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method of eliminating alpha particle emissions from phosphoric acid while simultaneously removing Po-210 from the acid solution.
It is further an object of the present invention to provide a method of decontaminating phosphoric acid for use in the manufacture of silicon LSI memory devices.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of plating noble metals onto silicon from an acidic solution.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a LSI memory device substantially free of soft errors due to internal alpha particle radiation.
FIG. 1 illustrates a top view of the process tank placed within a reservoir tank adjacent to pump and filter.
FIG. 2 illustrates the top view of FIG. 1 with a cover placed over top of the pump and filter sections.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional profile view taken along the lines 3--3 in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is an illustration of a vessel containing silicon wafers.
The following experiments were devised to illustrate and to prove the effectiveness of the present invention.
In this experiment, a set of four circular silicon wafers measuring 6" in diameter and 675 microns in thickness were dipped in a bath of fresh phosphoric acid at 145 degrees to 150 degrees C. for thirty minutes. The first four wafers were then removed. The term "wafer" as used in this description of this invention refers to a wafer of the type used in the manufacturer of packaged semiconductor device. The dimensions are 6" diameter circular silicon wafer of 650 to 700 micron thickness.!
The phosphoric acid bath was then gettered by dipping a batch of fifty silicon wafers for thirty minutes. The temperature was held constant at 145�-150� C. The fifty wafers used to buffer the acid bath are defined as getters. The getters were then removed.
A second group of four wafers was then dipped in the same bath for 30 minutes at the same temperature.
α-particle emissions were next measured by placing the first group of four wafers in a cloud chamber for nine hours. A reading of the cumulative α-particles counts was taken once every hour for nine consecutive hours. Measurements were made using a Spectrum Science Co. Model 850 radiation analyzer. The cloud chamber was purged. Then the second group of four wafers was placed in the cloud chamber. α-particle emissions were measured using the same procedure. The results are set forth in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________ α-particleAfter α-particle Emissions Group 2 afterHour Group 1 before buffering buffering______________________________________1 382 2092 707 4003 1053 5854 1371 7745 1681 9716 2007 11617 2312 13538 2617 15189 2919 1706Average Counts 77.4 46.6per wafer-hour______________________________________
Eight gallons of phosphoric acid was mixed in solution. Half was placed in one tank and the remainder in a second tank. The mixture was divide this way in order to ensure that the chemical reagents in each tank were identical. Both tanks were then gradually heated to 145� to 150� C., over approximately a thirty minute period.
The first tank was not treated with getter wafers before introducing the sample production wafers. Two sample production wafers were placed in the heated phosphoric acid bath for thirty minutes and then removed. α- emission measurements were made after placing the wafers in a cloud chamber. Using a Spectrum Science Model 850 radiation detector, measurements were taken at one hour intervals for nine hours. The results are listed in Table 1A.
The second tank was first gettered with fifty getter wafers. After heating to the desired process temperature above, the getter wafers were placed in a vessel and submerged in the phosphoric acid bath of tank #2. After thirty minutes elapsed, the vessel was removed. Then two sample production wafers were placed into the buffered phosphoric acid bath. Alpha emissions were then measured in the same manner as described for the first tank sample wafers. The results are listed in Table 1B.
The average counts per wafer-hour was calculated as a measure of radioactivity level for comparison purposes. The calculation is made by subtracting the 4th hour cumulative emissions from the 9th hour cumulative total, in order to eliminate any possible "background" or ambient radioactive contribution due to other sources. Radon gas is one example of ambient background radiation contribution. The difference in those two readings yields a 5-hour cumulative total α-emission which is solely attributable to contaminants in the process material--i.e.--Po-210 present in the phosphoric acid. The total is then divided by 5 to yield an average hourly emission, then divided again by two to yield a per-wafer, per hour measurement.

This experiment reveals that emissions from sample production wafers in tank two after buffering measured approximately 65% of the emission levels of the identical wafers from tank one.
Each tank contained identical solutions of phosphoric acid, and the sample production wafers tested in each tank were selected from the same production batch.
A second part of the same experiment consisted of measuring the alpha radiation levels of the getter wafers--the group of 50 wafers used to buffer tank number two. Two wafers (No. 9 and 10) were randomly selected from this group and measured for alpha radiation using the same measurement procedure as used in the first part of this experiment. Table 2A sets forth the results of this phase of the experiment.
TABLE 2A______________________________________ After Alpha Hour Emission No. Counts______________________________________ 1 105 2 186 3 269 4 362 5 438 6 531 7 602 8 697 9 784______________________________________
Consistent with the results in tables 1A and 1B, this establishes that the source of alpha emissions is gettered by the Si wafers placed in the vessel. While the Po-210 is adsorbed by fifty of the gettering wafers in a half hour soak period, it is expected that the larger number per volume of acid of getter wafers will adsorb Po-210 a rate (42.2) equal to or less than the two wafers placed in the unbuffered solution of tank No. 1(49).
In a third experiment, the effect of gettering as a function of time was determined. Results showed that the longer the silicon gettering wafers were immersed in the heated acid bath, the lower the Po-210 contamination in the acid solution after the gettering wafers are removed.
A tank of liquid phosphoric acid was heated to 145�-150� C. From a batch of fifty wafers, two were selected at random (Nos. 13 and 14). These two wafers were submerged for thirty minutes and removed, then cleaned, dried and stored in one airtight flat-pack container for a short time. Using the same measurement technique, α-particles were measured at 45.5 counts per wafer-hour.
The same acid bath at process temperature was then gettered by inserting the vessel into the bath for one hour. The vessel contained fifty gettering wafers. After one hour, the vessel was pulled from the tank and two production wafers were placed in the tank for one half hour. α-emissions for these two wafers were measured at 32.4 counts per wafer-hour.
The same acid bath was again gettered with a second batch of fifty silicon wafers for a second one hour interval. The vessel containing the getters was removed. Two production wafers were inserted in the bath for one half hour and removed. α-particle emissions were recorded as 26.6 counts per wafer hour.
By buffering the acid bath with fifty getter wafers for one hour a 28.8% reduction in α-particles was realized; after then buffering the same bath for a second hour, an overall reduction in α-particle emission of 41.5% was measured.
In order to determine the relation of surface area of the silicon getter material to the efficiency of α-particle (Po-210) removal, a fourth experiment was conducted. In this experiment, a quantity of high-quality silicon beads weighing 500 grams were used instead of the 50 wafers (weight=1500 grams) as in the previous experiments. The silicon beads are spherical, so it was assumed--without measuring--that these would permit significantly greater fluid contact with the phosphoric acid.
A batch of phosphoric acid was mixed and divided into two separate tanks, then both tanks were heated to 145�-150� C. One tank was buffered with silicon getter beads for approximately four to five hours at process temperature. The second tank was not buffered at all, and remained at process temperature for the same time interval.
Five production wafers were then placed in each tank and removed after thirty minutes. The wafers were then placed in the cloud chamber. α-particles were measured again with the Spectrum Model 850 radiation analyzer. For this experiment, measurements were recorded once every hour for fifteen consecutive hours. Contribution due to background emissions were compensated by subtracting hour 4 reading from hour 15 reading. The counts per wafer hour were determined by dividing the difference by eleven (hours); and dividing again by five (wafers) according to the same method as experiment number 1! to arrive at the comparison figures. Table 4 shows the readings for each set of wafers according to each of fifteen hours.
TABLE 4______________________________________Hour Unbuffered Buffered______________________________________ 1 1008 168 2 2004 290 3 2953 408 4 3879 514 5 4845 607 6 5793 722 7 6755 607 8 7682 722 9 8630 82810 9553 117111 10,507 128212 11,459 141213 12,399 154214 13,352 165815 14,286 1768Counts per 189.2 22.8wafer-hour______________________________________
Results indicated reduction of α-particle emissions of over 80% in the silicon wafers after buffering the phosphoric acid bath compared to α-particle emissions in the silicon wafers when the acid bath was not buffered.
It should be noted that each batch of phosphoric acid may have high or low Polonium-210 content, depending on the source where the phosphorous was mixed. Thus, the magnitude of the various readings, for buffered and unbuffered results is less significant than their percentage differences.
Referring to FIGS. 1,2 and 3, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. Recirculating bath filter system 10 includes reservoir tank 12. Heater 14 is located adjacent to the bottom of tank 12. Heater 14 may be of insertion type or immersion type. Process tank 16 fits into reservoir 12. Reservoir 12 and process tank 16 are preferably made of teflon to withstand the corrosive liquids contained within them.
Reservoir tank 12 is filled with liquid phosphoric acid 20, then heated to 145�-150� C. The process temperature ideally suited to stripping nitride from the surface of silicon when etching microscopic circuits onto silicon wafer surfaces. During the heating cycle and after, phosphoric acid 20 is circulated through silicon media 28 in filter housing 24. Pump 22 circulates acid 20 through filter housing 24 and back to reservoir 12 through conduits 26, 26A (not shown) made of teflon fittings for supply and return of acid 20.
Silicon media 28 getters po-210 from the phosphoric acid. After a predetermined interval has elapsed--usually thirty to forty-five minutes--process temperature in the bath is achieved and Pl-210 is gettered from the acid. Vessel 32 is substantially immersed in the liquid acid bath 20 by placing it into process tank 16. Vessel 32 contains silicon wafers 34 which are then cleaned and etched for manufacture of integrated circuit devices. Note the distinction between gettering wafers 36 and silicon wafers used in production of final devices.
Referring next to FIG. 4, vessel 32 is illustrated for use in an alternative method of gettering Po-210 from phosphoric acid. In this method, gettering wafers 36 are placed in vessel 32 then submerged in reservoir tank 12 while the bath is heated to process (145�-150� C.) temperature from ambient. This method is useful where it may be impractical or uneconomical to equip tank 12 with filter housing 24 and pump 22, and associated plumbing. Gettering wafers 36 replace silicon media 28 from filter housing 24, and are manually inserted and removed from the acid reservoir 20 to getter Po-210 before the production silicon wafers are dipped in reservoir 20. Vessels 32 are shaped like a dish rack so that the flat gettering wafers 36 may be supported vertically in a row, typically twenty five to a vessel.
As previously described, noble metals in an acidic solution will be adsorbed by--or plate onto--a reducing agent such as silicon. For substantial plating to occur, the pH of the solution must be 6 or lower. Optimal plating conditions exist in a mineral acid bath such as phosphoric or sulfuric. While heating the bath increases the rate at which noble metals are adsorbed by the reducing agent, it is not necessary to heat the acid solution in order for adsorption to occur.
Similarly, the time of exposure of the silicon reducing agent is set forth in the experiments above, as a means of illustrating effects and for measuring the effects It should be noted that reduction of the noble metal begins immediately at room or ambient temperature, so long as the acid is liquid to allow for immersion of the reducing agent.
Depending on the quantity of acid solution one desires to decontaminate of noble metal traces, temperature and time of exposure may be increased or decreased to yield timely and efficient results. Experiments one through four above were conducted with quantities of eight gallons of phosphoric acid. The same effect will be realized on much greater scales. For example, in a large storage facility for storing acid, it may be impractical or uneconomical to heat large storage tanks. It is not necessary however to add heat where the silicon may be exposed for significantly longer intervals.
According to the provisions of the Patent Statutes, we have explained the principal, preferred construction and mode of operation of our invention and have illustrated and described what we now consider to represent its best embodiments. However, it should be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described.

KUsports.com - KU tops Big 12 preseason men's hoops poll
Do you really think we'll be that far back?

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
I see us finishing somewhere in that 7th-10th range. Too many new additions and lack of backcourt depth. I think we win a game or two more than last year because we should do well in the nonconference record wise, but we have our hands full in the Big 12.
We will be better than Nebraska.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Way I see it, we are almost a complete unknown this preseason. They don't have much choice but to pick us last nor near last.

Agreed and they know we lost Taylor, who on paper was either our best player or easily second best. I'd have a hard time predicting us much better if I was in charge of doing so. I think we are better than Nebraska and Colorado, but outside of that who knows. We could be better than Ok State, Baylor, and maybe OU. There's a lot of unknown about the Big 12 this year.
All I know, is that we will be better when we play Kansas. I >almost< like watching jayhawkfan as much as I like seeing hawkfan getting crushed.
Shriek "rotten jock, jayhawk!" in my ear for 3 hours continuously, will you?!
I think the pre-season stuff is accurate. We have a lot of unknowns, especially in our backcourt, I expect us to be very competitive and fun to watch just like last season.
Go Cyclones!!
**** Iowa!!
Pre-season polls mean absolutely NOTHING, just a chance to sell magazines and internet subsciptions
32 years later and I am still riding on the back.
I don't sweat the petty things,... I pet the sweaty things
Yeah, in no way do I see us finishing 11th in the Big 12 this year... I think we could definitely be middle of the pack. Sure, we lost some proven production in Taylor, and we're real young, but the guys we have are certainly talented.
11th seems about right...

"We're going to be #1 in the Big XII almost every year.
We're Kansas.......the others are not."
Go Sssssssssyclones!
We did much better than predicted last year and I expect the same will happen this year.

The transition from the small screen to the big screen has been fruitful for only a few, and Amit Sadh happens to be one of them. The actor, who turned 31 Thursday, spent his day shooting for "Guddu Rangeela" and hopes the new year keeps him busy with quality work.
On his special day, he had a 5 a.m. call for shoot, and he believes "it's a great gift" to be able to have the kind of work that's coming his way.
"It's been a great year for me...working with wonderful filmmakers and actors. There's been so much of learning and I just like to work hard," Amit told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
He's caught in the midst of shooting for "Guddu Rangeela" and promoting his forthcoming film "RunningShaadi.com". Both films are as different as chalk and cheese.
"All my roles have been different," says the actor, who made his Bollywood debut with the acclaimed 2013 film "Kai Po Che", in which he played Omi Shastri.
In "Guddu Rangeela", Amit essays a Haryanvi character against his "young guy in a sweet love story" in "RunningShaadi.com", in which he stars opposite Taapsee Pannu.
Amit, who was injured while shooting for "Guddu Rangeela" in Shimla in mid-March is now also back on his feet, and he says his recovery period gave him a chance to chill, sit at home, read books, catch up on movies and with his friends.
Now, he's hoping to finish the shooting for the Subhash Kapoor-directorial, which he will wrap up in 10 to 15 days.

do you Guys know about Gender Separation? I mean...
I can very Good Understand with Toilets, Clothes and
also Shampoo and Blah blah blah...
but there's Something it Bother me a lot is that -> www.premiumbeautynews.com/en/u…
they make an Gender Separation of a Fucking Toothpaste!? Oh Gosh,
this is Really Stupid and also Sexist and that's NOT Alright!
there's Something is Really Stupid! by Cookie-LoveyWatch
©2014-2016 Cookie-Lovey
your right this is Stupid Lame Metocor excuse of toothpaste is Really Stupid
I don't think it's sexist.
you Think so?
Yeah, it's not offensive towards anyone, so why should it be considered sexist?
but they made a Toothpaste for Man!
So what? they make creams, perfumes, oils, shampoo and all kinds of products for women specifically all the time. Should I be offended by that?
yeah... but It's coming too Far!
I can maybe agree it's not the smartest thing, but really, what kind of products men use? I'd say 10 maximum: the necessary to shave, a body washing product like shampoo, shower gel or some other thing, aftershave, perfume, soap and then toothpaste. Maybe the latter is kinda stupid to be optimized for men, but i see your point
It sounds ridiculous. I wonder why? There was no need to before.
well... maybe it Taste like Bacon, but will be more than Ridiculous!
ever heard of Überraschungseier/ suprise eggs? Same stupid story
So how does this work exactly?
Do they just brush their teeth and suddenly become a different gender or...?

RTPU: The Next Step in Graphics Rendering
Move over GPU... literally, move over, as the RTPU is the next step up on the technology ladder, bringing added photo-realism to gaming and other graphics-intensive applications without the huge processing load.
It feels like centuries since id Software's first-person shooter Quake required a math co-processor. Soon after the game's release, 3DFX launched the first-ever dedicated GPU, revolutionizing gaming visuals by turning pixelated polygons into smooth, three-dimensional shapes that appeared more realistic than ever. When Agia introduced the PhysX processor after the turn of the century, the visuals took on more of a realistic appearance by introducing physics, depicting the natural movements of objects, and how they interact with the environment. Now Caustic Graphics wants to take the next step into providing the ultimate experience with its dedicated ray-tracing processing system, the CausticRT.
The new system's CausticOne ray-tracing processing unit(RTPU) isn't meant to replace the GPU. In fact, it's job is to enhance the graphics much like Agia's PhysX, however the CausticOne doesn't deal with physics in terms of movement, but rather where the incoherent light rays scatter in a particular scene. Typically, ray-tracing requires that the PC or Mac process the entire scene, not just the visible areas, eating up valuable memory and CPU processing. This usually takes a large chunk of time on a single machine, especially when rendering high-resolution scenes in programs like 3DS Max and Maya. In fact, Pixar and other CGI companies have dedicated "farms" in order to render those realistic movies in an acceptable timeframe. According to the company, the average render time today for a single ray-traced image at film resolution is over three hours.
However, the CausticRT system supposedly removes the immediate bulk of the ray-tracing calculations off the GPU and CPU, using what the company calls a "breakthrough algorithm" that addresses the rendering issue and organizes the incoherent rays into a data flow. Thus, the processor sends the ordered data to the GPU and CPU. Ultimately, the CausticRT system will render ray-traced scenery with rasterization-like efficiency, producing photo-realistic graphics 20 times faster than anything on the market today.
"CausticRT does not displace a GPU or CPU in a graphics system, rather it acts as a co-processor that traces rays and schedules the results in a manner that allows GPUs or CPUs to shade them as efficiently as they do with rasterization," said James McCombe, co-founder and CTO of Caustic Graphics. "We are working with an emerging developer community to create new or port their existing renderers and applications to Caustic so artists and designers can take advantage of the photorealism and visual effects that make ray-tracing so compelling over rasterization."
Unfortunately, the CausticRT platform isn't ready for the general public, costing around $4,000 for the CausticGL driver, the CausticOne processor and accelerator card, and one year of firmware and software updates. The company also said that developers may also purchase a one-year subscription for US $2,500 that includes support for up to 10 incidents. However, it may be possible that the general public will see the CausticRT platform in the not-too-distant-future, as the company suggested that game consoles could achieve film-quality run-time visuals using the system. Could this processor be included in the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles? Perhaps so. And like Agia, it may be possible that the CausticRT system will become a part of the Nvidia--or AMD for that matter--collective.
Stay tuned for the official announcement of the CausticOne accelerator card this Wednesday.

0Anonymous , 21 April 2009 06:11Very interesting. Reminds me of a hardware ray-tracing card that used to be available a while ago. I can't remember who made it, but it was for use with DCC rendering software (e.g Mental Ray) to speed ray tracing.
0wild9 , 21 April 2009 14:45So all those expensive workstations cards are now 'rendered'..
0astrowhiz , 21 April 2009 17:42Workstation cards don't render the images, they provide the opengl visualisation in the viewport.
0waxdart , 21 April 2009 18:52CausticRT platform isn't ready for the general public!
How odd niether is mine. At its 10x times faster than this one.

Chickpea stuffed poblano pepper
A light and healthy dinner!
Chickpea stuffed poblano pepper
1 poblano pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp onion, finely chopped
olive oil for sauteing
1/2 cup chickpeas
1 inch piece zucchini, finely chopped, salted, and allowed to sit
1 egg white
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (or more!)
pinch of salt
generous shake of pepper
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/2 tbsp breadcrumbs
Preheat your oven to 375°C. Halve and seed the poblano pepper and set aside. Saute the onion and garlic. Add to a bowl along with the chickpeas and mash with a fork until few whole chickpeas remain (alternatively, you could use a food processor!). Add zucchini, egg white, and spices and combine.
Spread marinara sauce in the bottom of a small dish (I used a loaf pan). Fill pepper halves with the chickpea mixture and place in the pan. Top with breadcrumbs.
Bake for about 30 mins or until the pepper softens. Turn the oven to broil. Remove after about 5 mins or once the breadcrumbs brown to your liking. Serve and enjoy!

I'm interested in keeping a couple of gigabytes of personal files in the cloud with shell access to them. Basically, I want to be able to do something like ssh to a machine that I do not maintain, and do some light programming and file maintenance, and possibly some uploading and downloading.
The reason for this is that I'm hoping to use a Chromebook as my only personal machine, and just ssh to some machine in the cloud for anything I can't do in a browser. I don't need to do any heavy duty programming, but do need to occasionally write some scripts or run latex, so a plain storage solution (e.g., Dropbox, Sugarsync) won't work.
I've tried searching online, but I don't even know what the name of such a service would be, or whether this is even offered commercially. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, if this is the wrong site for this, just let me know where I should ask this question.

It was the shock of their lives. Nine students lost all their possessions in a fire that ripped through an ECU fraternity house Friday morning.
The brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon who lived in the home were back at the house Monday talking to the insurance company and looking in disbelief at their burnt home.
According to authorities, the fire was electrical and accidental. The brothers lost almost everything in the fire including one of their dogs. But they say the possessions mean nothing to them now and that they're just happy to be alive.
The students say the hardest thing is just figuring out where to live. ECU did offer the fraternity brothers on campus housing, but they're hoping to find something together eventually.

DotA 2 Breaks Steam Record - NewsCraig Snow, posted on 03 March 2013 / 2,400 Views
Interesting find over on Reddit today. Apparently DotA 2 has broken the record for most concurrent users on Steam. The previous record was 287,411 (held by Skyrim). At the time of writing DotA 2 has managed break that record by notching up 297,010 players.
Hat-tip to Reddit userfor spotting this fact. He even posted a handy graph that illustrates the stats, which I'll paste below for convenience's sake:
As a pretty big fan of Valve's MOBA I must say I'm pleased to hear this news; it's a phenomenally good game and I thoroughly recommend it. A word of warning to those considering taking the plunge, however: the learning curve is extremely steep.
In the words of Cancer Phantom Lancer: "We outnumbered you, we outnumber them all".

This is one of the best mouse figures I've ever seen, she is perfect
how much would it cost to make a resin sculpture of my OC tracie?
depend of the dificult of the character and if the body will work, and last time I give the price the person though it was to expensive,
my OC tracie in her swimsuit I have images in my gallery. how much would you ask for that?
found her, it seem like the cast body I have could work, and maybe the head could be a big costume work or maybe made a head from scratch to match your OC, and cost will be around 75$ to 90$ plus shipping

text: 000 FXUS63 KFSD 301103 AFDFSD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 603 AM CDT MON MAY 30 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 420 AM CDT Mon May 30 2016 Showers and thunderstorms gradually moving across the area early this morning. A few storms have produced some heavy rainfall and near severe hail...more than likely. The mid level wave responsible for this convection will move through the area by about mid morning, so will have the chance for thunderstorms mainly east of interstate 29 this morning with decreasing chances through about 16z. In the wake of this wave, broad southerly flow will develop. Not easy to discern when the better chance for convection will be. Thinking that the first chance will be from late morning into the early afternoon as the 850mb to 700mb winds quickly increase as low pressure deepens over western north dakota and eastern montana. This might allow scattered thunderstorms to develop and lift northward but the severe threat with these storms should not be high as a potential lack of moisture in this layer might keep instability a bit on the low side. Will have a small chance for thunderstorms lifting from near the Missouri River into east central South Dakota from about 17z through 20z. After this deeper moisture, better instability and shear are in place in central South Dakota by late afternoon and expect thunderstorms to develop in this area. Initially the soundings appear to point towards isolated to scattered stronger cells with shear not too strong but well balanced and definitely supportive of severe convection, especially with the potential for about 2000 j/kg surface based CAPE. By mid evening a strong surge of mid level winds from the west and the approach of the wave should increase moisture a bit which will likely lead towards a better chance for a somewhat organized line which would get to Interstate 29 about 10 pm and into southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa between 10 pm and 1 am. Hail to the size of golf balls and 70 mph winds will be possible with the initial development while winds to 70 mph will still be possible farther east into the evening the threat for hail should drop to half dollar. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 420 AM CDT Mon May 30 2016 Assuming the organized nature of convection from Monday night, much if not all of this may have progressed eastward out of the CWA, leaving perhaps parts of southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa with lingering showers and a few rumbles of thunder. Upper low will continue to wobble across North Dakota through the day, with jet energy gradually intensifying through downstream quadrants. This will cause Q vector convergence to linger somewhat over eastern portions of the CWA. For the most part, will probably only see a few lighter showers and more of a stalling to clearing. Fairly strong dry slot will rotate through southeast South Dakota, at least at lower levels. With good westerly component, enough mixing to expect a recovery in temperatures to reach the mid 70s, versus potentially some lower 70s in cloudier areas to the east/southeast. Along with upper trough axis pushing into the far west toward evening, there will likely be a small amount of convergence, and despite limited moisture, there looks to be potential for a very small degree of instability in a very narrow axis. Have included a minimal chance for showers and thunder around the K9V9 and KHON, but should be very short window ending by sunset as boundary progresses into the area. As secondary front barrels through on Tuesday night, northwest winds will increase, and become quite breezy heading through much of Wednesday. Wednesday certainly the coolest day of the next week, with mixing suggesting mid 60s to lower 70s. Coolest readings likely where clouds will be more prevalent around southwest Minnesota. If not for a very strong subsidence signal, would think could get a few short showers across mainly southwest Minnesota, but have elected to keep dry this go around. Chilly night will bring Thursday morning lows into the mid to upper 40s for most. Surface ridge at the heart of the chill will begin to shift off to the east Thursday, returning southerly flow to the area. Thursday will be very pleasant with low humidity and mild temperatures. Elevated instability push by evening could bring an isolated shower or thunderstorm, which may linger into early Friday for southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa. Stronger precipitation threat on Friday night, as wave in northwest flow digs and pushes a decent frontal boundary through the area. GFS is by far the most amplified to digging and more threatening both shear/instability wise, but even lesser digging ECMWF/Canadian do present a threat for a few stronger storms along the boundary around Friday evening. Amplification of the eastern trough/western ridge pattern should push the area into a slightly cooler regime toward the start of next week after a seasonably warm first weekend of June. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) Issued at 601 AM CDT Mon May 30 2016 VFR through the period except near any thunderstorms. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible throughout the day, but the better chance will come tonight. Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will develop in central South Dakota early this evening, then progress east through the evening and overnight hours. && .FSD Watches/Warnings/Advisories... SD...None. MN...None. IA...None. NE...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...08 LONG TERM...Chapman AVIATION...08

In a common area inside Signature Healthcare in Taylorsville, residents and staff gathered Friday around a refreshingly homey cacophony: barking dogs.
The nursing and rehab center hosted seven dogs – and two parrots – on its bring-your-pet-to-work day.
"All the residents are loving it," said activities director Tina Nation, "and they're all like: 'Look at that one. Look at that one!'"
Tired of what its members called the "same-old, same-old," a start-up production company hopes to record a new television series in and around Taylorsville.
Louisville-based Unfiltered Dreams, visited Taylorsville Monday, scouting locations and introducing themselves.
The proposed series — S.I.N.S. — is, writer Tori Johnson said, a courtroom-based drama, "unlike any other you've seen."
A Louisville man accused of forcing a woman to ride with him while he drove drunk and ultimately crashed his vehicle in Taylorsville pleaded not guilty to six charges Feb. 18 in Spencer Circuit Court.
Joshua Lee Sauer, 38, of Louisville pleaded not guilty to first-degree wanton endangerment, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to to register transfer of a motor vehicle, violation of a Kentucky domestic violence or emergency protective order and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alchohol.
Spencer County Republicans should circle March 5 on their calendar if they want to cast their vote for the party's presidential nominee. That's the day of the Kentucky Republican Caucus, a first in the state's history.
The caucus will be held from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Spencer County High School. All registered Republican voters can cast their vote for their chosen Republican candidate. Steve Hesselbrock, Spencer County GOP Chairman, said there are six candidates currently listed on the ballot.
The last phases of planning are all that's left before the Spencer County Board of Education hires a contractor to finally start building the new Taylorsville Elementary School.
At the board's meeting Monday evening, a representative of Sherman Carter Barnhart Architects presented a tentative schedule for moving the project forward.

Kentucky travel industry officials have released a study that contends an early August return to school is costing the state millions of dollars and thousands of jobs each year.
The travel industry commissioned the study to support a bill that would prevent school districts from starting classes before late August.
"Kentucky tourism drops immediately and sharply upon the opening of schools," said Hank Phillips, president and CEO of the Kentucky Travel Industry Association.
An Elk Creek couple escaped their home without injury Sunday night after fire spread from a wood stove in the basement.
Taylorsville-Spencer County firefighters contained the fire to the room where it started, Chief Nathan Nation said, but the fire caused smoke damage throughout the 506 Roberts Road home.
Shortly before midnight, Keith and Debbie Nation smelled smoke, got up from bed and found the fire in the basement, the fire chief said. They went outside and called 911.

Seems like there's so much more active development for 1.5 when it's not even really out of the starting gate. An example is some anti spam code someone wrote. Someone else then commented that the feature had been built int0 1.5, but then someone else added, almost as an afterthought, but useful for those still on 1.2.x.
I thought it should be assumed that the latest stable version is what one should be actively creating for. Isn't 1.5 still in alpha, not beta, anyway?
Simply put, as a happy 1.2.2 user, I sometimes feel like a bastard child at a family reunion!

Not enough transparency. Company should try to disseminate more info., but they're probably afraid of being sued. Or, information is not positive.
AM or PM?
It will put in a surge at the end because the shorts will cover. But from what level and how many shares will be on offer.
If it holds 12.1 going into the last 1/2 hour, we can get back to 12.5, but the shorts are very active today, (under cover of NAS), and will try to take it down again to shake out more longs.
Shorts are reloading. If they can get the stock below 12, they'll trigger a wave of selling into which they will cover most of their position.
I sold all my shares. Now am waiting for a decline to get back in.
Look what happened. NVTL goes lower again!!!!
Sell more tomorrow!!!
NVTL will never come even close to 15. No way.
Don't end up needing food stamps like me. I once believed in NVTL, but now I'm broke. Warning, you will lose money in NVTL. Take it from me. Sell.
With all the lawsuits, this is just too risky right now.
Wait for 11.25, then buy. This can be picked up at a lower price. You'll see.
I couldn't take the continuous losses. Had to sell. I don't think this stock has a chance. The writing is on the wall. I'm now poor.
NVTL only goes down down down.
I already sold at 11.25. Couldn't stand the pressure. This POS will surely fall now. Time to sell!
sell at the high!
I told you so.
Sell this POS. NVTL never goes up. Selling will begin now.
Because the longs have already thrown in the towel on this pos.
Someone will probably try to knock it down into the close. Hopefully, they'll fail.
I think there's also concern about stability of earnings in addition to margins. Hopefully, we'll put some of this to rest later in the week.

To me every pokemon thats based on a known earth species has moves that make sense. Rhinos spend time in the water which would grant rhydon a surf attack because surf really os just a pokemon being able to swim. When you think about reuncilus learning focus blast it really shouldnt be debated because we have no idea of what a creature like it would be capable of
If you actually think about it as biological you can find many weirx things ( in earths historyof biology when ever would a magnemite, beldum, solosis, unknown, sigilyph, steelix, klink i mean the list could go on but they would not be considered animals) so to me the best way to look at it is as art.

7x7 Weddings
Tying the Knot and Smiling A Lot at The Ritz-Carlton San Francisco
As the bride prepared for her big day, Otis Redding's "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay" played in the background–a very fitting tribute to our beautiful City by the Bay, which was the location for Robia and Dave Crisp's fun-filled wedding ceremony.
A Jaw-Dropping South Asian Wedding Glitters at SF's Palace Hotel
This spectacular South Asian wedding lasted three entire days starting with the traditional Sangeet on Friday. Every last detail from the sparkling jewels to the extravagantly painted henna tattoos on the bride's hands served a special purpose. The groom arrived atop a white horse, and later in a Buick Eighty Eight, as loved ones danced alongside.
What better way to celebrate this event fit for royalty than at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco? The couple could not have been more in love, making the event that much more fantastic. No words can describe this beautiful wedding, so let's just let the photos speak for themselves!
Cupcakes, Cacti and Skulls...Oh My!
Filled to the brim with succulents and accents of grey, cream and yellow, Kristin and Rob's Monterey wedding was a gorgeous and fun-filled day. Allumer Events executed the bride's decor details at the Old Whaling Station and provided the florals as well.. Grapes of Wrath served amazing food and cocktails to the guests, while everyone enjoyed music by Henry Chen of Sound in Motion DJs.
A Summertime Celebration at Solage Calistoga
Miriam Ziskin & Mike Swofford said their vows in Calistoga, California under a beautiful arbor surrounded by family and friends. Pops of purple, blue and yellow added color to an already picturesque outdoor setting.
All You Need Is Love...And A Little Help From Your Family
The entire family was involved in making this wedding celebration special. Adela Quinones & Cody Steffani said their vows on the beach over the Labor Day weekend.
Celebrating Their Future by Remembering Loved Ones Passed
Shawn Nohr & Tyler Brooks wanted to celebrate their special day in memory of loved ones who had passed away. The couple chose to say their vows at the Contra Country Club where a tree was planted in honor of Tyler's late grandfather. The couple made sure to take plenty of photos in front of that tree following a lovely ceremony that looked out over the golf course. There was also a gin and tonic bar at the reception for family and friends to sip in Tyler's grandfather's memory.
Two Become One Under the Napa Valley Sun
Karmah and Dan's wedding was truly a community event. So many family and friends came together to make the wedding a joyous and unforgettable event. Karmah's aunt did all of the florals, another friend harvested the produce for the guest gifts of avocados and citrus fruits, another hand painted and wrote each seating card...The list is endless.
A Couple Travels Back in Time to Tie the Knot at San Francisco City Hall
Nick and Victoria Gutierrez let their favorite decade inspire their ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. A relaxed 1920's-themed wedding evolved into a larger reception the following day where guests danced the night away at a "speak-easy" bar.
Love is in the Details at This Gorgeous Guerneville Wedding
Megan Chrzanowski and Robert Heather tied the knot at Dawn Ranch in Guerneville, California on August 2, 2012. Tucked away in the woods along the Russian River, guests enjoyed a beautiful, intimate evening together.
A Charming Summer Wedding in the Heart of the City
Amanda Garnica & Blake Golliher were married in June at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco. Their wedding was a charming and quirky affair, replete with a caricaturist and a donut bar for the reception.

Why subwoofers blow: slam, bang, pop, and sizzle
Too much power or distortion damages subwoofers
Buck Pomerantz was born and raised in Philadelphia. His parents bought their first television set when he was born. He figured out how to run it by the time he was two. Besides athletics, his formative interests included electronics, amateur radio, music, and stage crew work. He got his BA in writing from Brown University. Then he joined a rock 'n roll band as their soundman and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia. After that venture failed, he spent time in Boston, New Orleans, and Berkeley. He worked in a music store in Austin manufacturing, installing, repairing, and operating sound systems for recording studios, clubs, and bands. He moved back to Charlottesville, ran a little recording studio and finally joined Crutchfield as a copywriter. He has 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren, but after a good nap he can still rock out.
More from Buck Pomerantz
An exploded view of the parts of a speaker. This particular example is the woofer from a set of Focal component speakers. (click the image to enlarge)
In a perfect world: the music sounds great
The sine wave below represents a signal that an amplifier sends to a subwoofer as a variation in voltage over time. The vertical axis represents voltage, the horizontal axis represents time. In AC (alternating current) signals, like music, the voltage swings between positive and negative values. Point A represents the point in time when the amplifier is telling the sub's voice coil and cone to be as far forward, toward the front, as that particular voltage (+V1) tells them to be. Point B is where –V1 voltage positions them toward the rear. Traveling back and forth rapidly, the cone pushes air and makes sound — and it's musical.
Overpowering your subwoofer – Slam and Bang
First we'll cover what happens when you give your subwoofer too much power. It's great to turn it up, but that extra volume starts to distort the music. Not only does it sound bad, but it can damage your speakers and subs, especially if you do this all the time.
Slam: The incoming signal tells the cone to move too far forward
Let's say that points A and B (and +V1 and –V1) are the maximum ratings of our subwoofer. If we increase the volume of the signal, the higher voltage (+V2) now tries to move the cone even further toward the front (C). The signal is still a clean signal, but now it is trying to move the cone and voice coil much further than they were designed to go, tearing the cone, spider, and surround apart, destroying the subwoofer.
Bang: The signal tells the coil to move too far backward
On the other side of things, when the signal (-V2) tells the voice coil to move too far toward the rear (D), the voice coil crashes into the back plate of the magnet assembly, cracking the coil and its former (the tube it coils around), and probably jamming it in the voice coil gap.
Underpowering your subwoofer — Pop and Sizzle
Underpowering a subwoofer isn't inherently bad for the sub. Not giving it enough power just means that the music will sound weak and lack detail.
The danger is when that power is coming from an amplifier that's being overworked and sending out a clipped signal. The clipped signal tries to make the sub do things it's not designed to do, which leads to it tearing itself apart or overheating and burning out.
First, what's a clipped signal?
Clipping a signal, or squaring its waveform, occurs when the volume of a source signal exceeds the electronic capability of a circuit. Let's say our amplifier can't play a signal more powerful than what voltage V1 can produce. If we tried to increase the volume at the source, the amplifier wouldn't produce more voltage, it would distort the signal, eventually into the form of a square wave.
Pop: A clipped signal tries to move the cone too quickly
You will notice that the sides of the clipped signal are vertical. That means that the signal will try to move the sub's cone from all the way forward (point E) to all the way to the rear (F) in zero amount of time, travelling at the speed of infinity. Nothing travels that fast, and the sub either tears itself apart trying, or the flapping cone wobbles just enough to jam the coil in the magnet's voice coil gap, killing the sub.
Sizzle: A clipped signal also tells the voice coil to hold still and heat up
The other parts of a square wave, the top and bottom, are horizontal lines that represent the times the signal is telling the cone to stay all the way forward or all the way back. Current flowing through a stationary coil only heats up the coil, which doesn't even benefit from a cooling breeze due to movement. The coil usually burns through one or more of its windings, or heats up enough to deform its shape so that it jams in the magnet's voice coil gap.
There's another, more complex reason voice coils burn when subjected to over-driven, clipped signals. A square wave carries twice the RMS power of a sine wave of the same amplitude (height). So not only is the signal telling the voice coil to pop into a position and sizzle, it's doing it with almost twice the power of the sub's maximum capacity. Usually, it's the glue holding the coil wire to the former that first melts under all the heat, and the coil crashes in its gap.
Distortion is the sub killer
Low power and low volume will not hurt a sub – but distortion will. A clipped signal is a sub's worst enemy. It isn't loudness that destroys an under-powered sub, it's trying to get bass volume by turning up a distorting signal that does it.
Subs are made to withstand a lot more than their specified RMS ratings, so giving them a little more than their highest RMS rating is safe, as long as it's clean and distortion-free.
How to not blow your subwoofer — match the RMS power ratings
Ignore all "peak" and "maximum" wattage ratings, and use only RMS ratings. They may be harder to find, but RMS ratings are the only power ratings you should use. To safely drive a subwoofer, use an amplifier that can give it no less than 75% and no more than 150% of its highest RMS power rating.
It's also crucial you set the amplifier's gain correctly. If you don't know how, you can check out Tuning Your Subs or Using Test Tones to Set Amplifier Gain for some helpful tips. And remember, if you want to run two or more subs, you've got to supply enough power for each and every one of them.

I have a pioneer 150w 8 inch active sub in my car. If I turn i turn up the volume will I blow my woofer? It has a box and amp spec for the driver. For its size it really packs a huge punch with tight bass.
thomasPosted on 11/22/2015 11:03:23 AM
i noticed my subwoofer isn't as strong as it was before. had it for about 9 months. could my sub be a little bit blown or have some kind of internal damage? the cone looks fine and i've never had a burnt smell coming from the trunk.

I have two JL audio 12" w7's in my car wired parallel (1.5ohm) I'm using a JL audio SlashV2 (1000/1) so I only have 500 watts going to each sub....I should also state the car has a fully upgraded charging system (HO alternator, XS power d6500 battery, 0 gauge Big 3, true 10 farad capacitor, and 0 gauge wiring all the way back to the amp...I also have a JL audio HD 600/4 running 2 sets of C5 components.....ok now for my question...as I'm sure your familiar with all the above mentioned equipment...I want to drop the slashV2 (love the amp it's physical size is just to demanding of space) and replace it with the JL audio HD 1200/1. Aside from the obvious major physical size difference in the amps, do you think that extra 100 watts to each sub will make them noticeably louder? Also have them in a shared chamber custom ported enclosure tuned to 33.5hz.
EricPosted on 4/7/2016 12:59:05 AM
Follow up question....i was told by by adding a rather expensive new piece of equipment I would get a DB increase of 4.5DB...how much louder is this really? I am obviously into quality and Being as loud as possible, to a serious bass head is 4.5DB worth 600 more dollars in your opinion
Ameer from Trinidad and TobagoPosted on 4/15/2016 3:50:07 PM
I have one 10jl audio w6 v3 subwoofer with a sound magus 800.1vs amplifier. When playing at medium volume it works fine but when I raise more volume the subwoofer starts to knock, stick and shuts off (not all at once). I taught it was the subwoofer but when I tried another one it did the same. Is it current?

Clairice Dale from Knightdale, NCPosted on 4/27/2016 12:22:41 AM
Buck, first I'd like to say great content. I have a question for you. My fiance installed a brand new rockford power sub (I forget which model but it doesn't matter to my question) about a month ago and came home looking like a sad panda today because it blew. He was screwing around with his head unit and he says he dropped the hertz to the lowest rockford says that sub can handle. Is there such a thing as blowing a speaker because you're trying to get it to play too low of a frequency or was it more likely too much power? Thanks!
Timmy from FairbanksPosted on 5/30/2016 2:06:07 AM
I have two JL 8w7ae's in a sealed custom enclosure powered by a audiocontrol epicenter 1200. I just bought it all new and installed. One night I went to bed and it worked fine, when I wokeup the subs made no noise whatsoever. I checked all connections, fuses, and everything, everything seems fine. Just no output from the sub (none at all). The cone moves up and down when I press on it. Is it possible I blew my sub the first day and then after it cooling overnight it just completely died?

Reverse Lights
I am having trouble with my reverse lights. Neighbor let me know a few weeks back my reverse lights were not working so I took it to the dealer and they had to order some module, not sure the name. When it arrived they replaced it on Thursday and tonight backing up no reverse lights. I m almost positive they were working Friday.
Anyone else having issues?
Check your fuses? Have you ever taken them out and possibly pinched a wire?
If they replaced a 'module', it was the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) - AKA Fuse Box.
That's a $1000 module! :str:
The reverse light wiring is as simple as it gets....switch sends signal to TIPM which sends power to the 2 lights and the 7-way trailer connector. That's it...nothing else in the loop.

This is at work with a crazy network and a crazy IT lady who keeps finding ways to blame me for it like using Firefox not IE, going on Facebook for 30 seconds to send a message to a customer or running Outlook with the preview pane open.
