1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having decreased mounting area in a printed circuit board and increasing efficiency of mounting thereof.
2. Description of the Related Art
Semiconductor devices such as an integrated circuit (IC) or discrete transistor device are manufactured by using a mounting technology as shown in FIG. 1A. Numerical reference 1 denotes a silicon substrate or silicon semiconductor chip, 2 denotes an island for fixing the semiconductor chip 1, 3 denotes a lead terminal, 4 denotes a bonding wire, and 5 denotes a resin body for enclosing the semiconductor chip 1.
A semiconductor chip 1 having, for example, an NPN-type transistor structure is fixed on the island 2 by using an adhesive 6 such as solder. Lead terminals 3 are electrically connected to a base electrode and an emitter electrode of the semiconductor chip 1 respectively by bonding wire 4. The island 2 is electrically connected to a collector electrode of the semiconductor chip 1.
After the semiconductor chip 1 is mounted on the island 2, the semiconductor chip 1 and a portion of the lead terminal 3 are encased by transfer molding in the molded resin case, which is made of thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin or the like, such that a semiconductor device having a three terminal structure is provided. The lead terminals 3 extending out of the epoxy resin body 5 are bent into Z shapes.
In the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device, island 2 and lead terminals 3 are provided on a lead frame of hoop or rectangle shape, which is made of copper material or iron material. One lead frame has sets of islands 2 and lead terminals 3 corresponding to, for example, 20 semiconductor devices.
As shown in FIG. 1B, an upper metal mold 10 and lower metal mold 11 form a space therebetween which is a cavity 9, and which defines a shape of resin body 5 of the semiconductor device. In the cavity 9, the semiconductor chip 1 which is fixed on the island 2 of the lead frame with bonding wires 4 connected to the lead terminals 3, is set therein, and encased by thermosetting resin which is injected by transfer molding. Afterward, the lead terminals are cut away from the lead frame, and the encased chips on the lead frame are separated into individual devices.
A resin molded semiconductor device (electrical component) is usually mounted on a printed-circuit board such as a glass-epoxy printed-circuit board, and is connected to other electrical components by wiring on the printed-circuit board, thereby providing a circuit network for performing a desired function. However, a conventional semiconductor device has lead terminals 3 protruding out of the resin body 5 by a length L as shown in FIG. 1A. The protruding portion L of the lead terminal needs excess space for mounting the resin body of the semiconductor device on the printed circuit board.
The transfer molding technology for encasing the semiconductor chip involves injecting thermosetting resin into a space (cavity) formed between the upper metal mold and the lower metal mold. Conventionally, one cavity is prepared for encasing one semiconductor chip, and each cavity has its path for injecting the thermosetting resin therethrough on the surfaces of the metal molds. Encasing is carried out by injection of the resin such that the resin is filled in the cavity and the path. Usually, epoxy resin which is used for encasing the semiconductor chip has thermosetting characteristics and utilization of wasted material is difficult. Therefore, the resin which is hardened and which remains in the path connected to the cavity is wasted and not to be utilized again for the products. The amount of the wasted resin is often larger than the amount of the resin utilized for the product, especially in the manufacturing process of smaller packages of the semiconductor devices. It is thus a drawback that the utilization efficiency of the thermosetting resin is poor.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which enables a decrease in mounting area on a printed circuit board and an increase in space efficiency on the printed circuit board.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which enables an increase in the utilization efficiency of the thermosetting resin to thereby reduce the cost in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor devices.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: preparing a common substrate which has a plurality of unit portions for accommodating at least a semiconductor chip on each of the unit portions; mounting at least a semiconductor chip on each of the unit portions; supplying thermosetting resin onto a surface of the common substrate, the unit portions including semiconductor chips being covered with the thermosetting resin continuously, and hardening the thermosetting resin by heat treatment to form a solid resin body; leveling the resin body on the common substrate to form a level surface thereon; cutting the common substrate and resin body at each side of each unit portion to separate the individual unit portions from one another.
The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention by way of example.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are cross-sectional views of a conventional semiconductor device;
FIG. 2A is a plan view of a common substrate according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a cross sectional view taken along line A—A of FIG. 2A;
FIGS. 3A through 3E are cross-sectional views illustrative of a method of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device mounted on a printed-circuit board according to the first embodiment of the present invention; and
FIGS. 6A and 6B are views similar to FIGS. 2A and 2B but showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
First step: FIGS. 2A and 2B show a common substrate 30.
A common substrate 30 is prepared, and a plurality of semiconductor chips 39 are mounted on islands 33 of the substrate 30 by die bonding. And, wires are connected between semiconductor chip 39 and lead terminals 34 of the substrate 30 by wire bonding. Here, common substrate 30 comprises of a metal lead frame according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The common substrate 30 has many unit portions for mounting semiconductor chips 31, 31A . . . . disposed as a repeated pattern like a matrix, or a line. The unit portions are retained by a frame portion 32 surrounding the unit portions 31, 31 A.
The unit portion 31 is provided with at least an island 33 to which the semiconductor chip 39 is fixed, and lead terminals 34 which act as electrodes for connecting with outside circuits or an adjacent island 33A. A connecting portion between the island 33 and lead terminal 34, is formed to be narrow for forming a concave portion. Since the unit portions are disposed in a matrix of rows and columns in the rectangle lead frame, one sheet of common substrate 30 can accommodate for example a hundred unit portions therein.
In FIG. 2A, dotted lines D1 through D6 shows cutting lines where cutting is carried out in a later process, and the portions surrounded by the cutting lines define the unit portions 31, respectively.
The above mentioned common substrate 30 is obtained from a metal plate which has for example 0.4 mm thickness and is made of copper having a hoop-like or rectangle-like shape. And a lead frame pattern is obtained by etching with an etching depth of 0.2 mm. The backside of the metal plate where etching is not carried out is defined as a back plate 50. Also, the common substrate 30 may be made of a combination of a flat back plate 50 and a lead frame having the same pattern as shown in FIG. 2A, which are adhered with each other.
Next, die bonding and wire bonding processes are carried out. On a surface of each island 33, 33A, electrically conductive paste such as silver paste or solder paste is applied, and a semiconductor chip is put on to the island and fixed thereto by the paste. Afterward, wires 40 are bonded between bonding pads on the semiconductor chip 39 and corresponding lead terminals 34. Wire 40 comprises of gold wire which has, for example, a 20 μm diameter. Here, the wire 40 connects a surface electrode on a semiconductor chip 39 on an island 33 to lead terminals 34 which are extending from an adjacent island 33A.
The backside of the island 33 where the semiconductor chip 39 is fixed, is available to electrically connect to outside circuits as an electrode. The backside of an island is preferably utilized as an electrode of the semiconductor device which has vertical current paths like transistors and power MOSFETS.
Second step: FIGS. 3A and 3B show a manufacturing process of encasing.
Next, encasing with thermosetting resin all over the common substrate is carried out. After the die bonding process and wire bonding process are finished, the common substrate 30 is put on a table (not shown), and an amount of liquid thermosetting resin 52 is delivered thereon by dispenser 51 by potting. The liquid resin 52 is, for example, CV576 AN (produced by Matsushita Denko). As delivered liquid resin has a surface tension, when the liquid resin 52 is delivered to the surface of the common substrate 30, the liquid resin 52 tends to form a curved surface as shown in FIG. 3B. The liquid resin 52 covers over all of the semiconductor chips 39 not individually, but commonly as shown in FIG. 3B. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3C, a circular dam 53 may be equipped on the periphery of the common substrate 30 where the dam 53 has a height of several millimeters and a width of several millimeters. Then, liquid resin 52 may be filled inside of the dam 53 with a relatively flat surface curvature.
After the semiconductor chips are covered with liquid resin 52, the resin 52 is hardened by heat curing treatment at 100-200� C. for several hours.
Third step: FIG. 3D shows a manufacturing process of leveling. Next, the curved surface of the resin body 52 is cut away to form a flat surface. Namely, dicing blade 54 is used to cut away the body resin 52, so as to form a flat surface of the resin 52 which has the same height over the surface of the common substrate 30. The surface of the resin body 52 has to be leveled so as to have sufficient thickness (height) for satisfying the package standards when the common substrate 30 and resin body 52 are divided into individual semiconductor devices. As to the above mentioned dicing blade, various kinds of blade, are available. By selecting a proper kind of the blade, it is possible to make a sufficiently precise flat surface of the resin body 52 after repeating the cutting several times. Furthermore, instead of using the dicing blade, it is possible to obtain the flat surface by using a grinding machine with an abrasive surface.
Fourth step: FIG. 3E shows a manufacturing process of separating.
Next, unit portions are separated by cutting of the resin body 52 so as to produce semiconductor devices A, B, C . . .
Before separation by cutting, in the case of using a common substrate as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the back plate 50 should be removed before cutting. In the case of using an independent back plate 50 which is adhered to the lead frame, the back plate 50 is removed from the lead frame so as to expose the back faces of the islands and lead terminals. In the case of the common substrate being made of a metal plate by half etching, the lower portion corresponding to the back plate 50 should be removed so as to expose the back faces of the islands and lead terminals to be seen visually. It is possible to remove the corresponding back plate portion by using the dicing machine with a dicing blade, by etching, by using the grinding machine with an abrasive surface and so on.
Afterward, by cutting along the lines D1-D6 which surround the unit portions each having an island and lead terminals where the semiconductor chip 39 is mounted, semiconductor devices are produced to have the encased semiconductor chip 39 and lead terminals.
As to cutting, a dicing machine is used to cut the resin body 52 and common substrate 30 at the same time with the blade of the dicing machine. By cutting along the lines D1-D3, opposite portions of the lead terminals 34 remain as projecting portions of the island 33A. The cut surface of the lead terminal 34 and projecting portion form a single surface with the cut surface of resin 52 and is exposed in the cut surface of the resin 52. At the manufacturing step of dicing, a blue sheet (for example, a product called a "UV Sheet", produced by Lintec corporation) is adhered to the backside of the common substrate, and the dicing blade cuts the common substrate with a cutting depth so as to reach the blue sheet. Alignment marks disposed on the frame portion are automatically recognized by the dicing machine, and the dicing is carried out by utilizing the alignment marks as reference positions.
Furthermore, dicing is carried out so as to cut the concave portion 36 of the lead terminal 33 exactly by the blade running thereon. Accordingly, the lead terminal 34 is formed tapered to be smaller at the cut surface in the resin body 52, to prevent it from easily falling out of the surrounding resin.
FIG. 4 shows a completed semiconductor device perspectively in which the back face of the device is seen at upper surface. The semiconductor device comprises an almost rectangular shaped resin package in which island 33 and lead terminals 34 are exposed on the back face and side faces. The semiconductor chip 39 and bonding wire 40 are encased by resin body 52. The dimensions of the resin package 52 are about 0.7 mm in length�1.0 mm in width�0.6 mm in height.
The resin body 52 has four faces which are cut away therefrom out of six faces of a rectangular parallelepiped (refer to the fourth step). The cut surface 34 a of lead terminal 34 is exposed on the cut surface of the resin body 52. The island 33 has protruding portions 33 a which are formed of a portion cut out from the lead terminal 34 of the opposite side surface of the protruding portion 33 a is also exposed at the cut surface (side face) of the resin body 52. The reverse faces of the island 33 and lead terminal 34 are also exposed on the reverse face (lower face) of the resin body.
The semiconductor device is mounted on a printed-circuit board by soldering. A chip mounter which mounts the semiconductor device automatically on the printed-circuit board, draws and holds the semiconductor device using a vacuum collect, carries it to a desired position on the printed-circuit board, and fixes it thereto by soldering. At this time, the upper face which is opposite to a face where the island and lead terminal are exposed, is drawn and held by the vacuum collect. Therefore, the upper face of the semiconductor device should have a surface which has dimensions and accuracy for satisfying industry standards of surface mounting technology. According to the present invention, since the upper surface of the resin body 52 is leveled by the leveling process (third step), the upper surface is maintained flat to satisfy the dimensions and accuracy, and the operability of the automatic mounting is maintained.
FIG. 5 shows the semiconductor device which is mounted on the printed-circuit board. The lead terminal 34 and protruding portion 33 a of the island 33 which are exposed on the lower face of the resin body 52, are aligned with printed wiring 25 on the printed-circuit board, and are fixed by solder 26 thereto.
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B.
In the first embodiment of the present invention, a metal lead frame was utilized as a common substrate; however, in the second embodiment, an insulative substrate such as a substrate of ceramics or glass-epoxy is utilized for supporting semiconductor chips thereon.
FIG. 6A shows a plan-view where a semiconductor chip 39 is mounted on a prepared common substrate 30 by die bonding and wire bonding.
Conductive patterns of gold plating are formed on the common substrate 30, and the lines D1-D7 are shown as cutting lines for separating the common substrate into individual devices, when cutting is carried out. Rectangular areas surrounded by the cutting lines D1-D7 constitute unit portions for respectively accommodating a semiconductor chips.
The gold plating pattern has areas which comprise island portions 60 on which the semiconductor chips 39 are mounted, and terminal lead portions 61 where bonding wires 40 are bonded as second bonding areas.
The island portion 60 and lead portion 61 are not continuous but separated by a unit area 31, and the island portion 60 and lead portion 61 are continuous across the lines D1 through D7 in the area between the unit areas 31. Furthermore, at the intersections of the cutting lines D1-D7 which correspond to the four corners of the unit areas 31, a through hole 62 is formed through the common substrate 30. The through hole 62 is connected to a conductive pattern which is formed on the reverse surface (lower face) of the substrate to constitute a surface electrode after the semiconductor device is completed. By the through hole 62, island portion 60 and lead portion 61 are electrically connected to surface electrodes which are formed on the lower surface of the device.
All of the semiconductor chips on the common substrate 30 are covered by liquid thermosetting resin by a potting process, and the liquid resin is hardened to form a solid resin body in a heat curing treatment. Then, the resin body is planarized by a leveling process. Then, the common substrate with the resin body is cut along the lines D1-D7 by a cutting process, and divided into individual unit portions, namely, semiconductor devices as shown in FIG. 6B. The above processes are the same as those described in the first embodiment.
FIG. 6B shows a sectional view of one completed semiconductor device, and the same reference numerals are used for similar portions of the semiconductor devices in other drawings to avoid repetitive explanations. Concerning this embodiment of the present invention, the island portion 60 and the lead terminal portion 61 on the upper face of the common substrate 30 and a surface electrode 63 on the lower face of the resin body are connected with each other via the through hole 62. The surface electrode 63 comprises of a gold plated conductive pattern, and will be connected to wiring on a printed circuit board by soldering as described in the first embodiment.
The above-mentioned semiconductor devices have the following advantages. First, since the metal lead terminal does not protrude from the face of the package, the mounting area is decreased to a size nearly same as the package. Accordingly, effective mounting area which is a ratio of active area (chip size of the semiconductor chip 39) to mounting area, is greatly increased, as compared with conventional semiconductor devices as shown in FIG. 1. Therefore, the invention contributes to reduction in size and weight of the electronic devices.
Second, the amount of wasted resin material is reduced, as compared with packaging individually by using transfer molding technology, in which the devices are encased one by one, and it leads to reduction of manufacturing costs.
Third, since the package has faces which are cut by dicing blades, the dimensional accuracy of the package is improved, thereby enabling manufacture of smaller - sized packages of semiconductor devices with high precision. This means that the relative size of the island 33 can be increased when a lead frame is utilized as the common substrate 30. Namely, conventional alignment accuracy of a metal mold to a lead frame by transfer molding technology is �50μm. In contrast, according to this invention, the alignment accuracy of the dicing blade to the lead frame using a dicing machine is �10μm. Therefore, alignment accuracy is improved according to the embodiments of the present invention, and this means that areas where the semiconductor chips are mounted are made larger by increasing the island 33 areas, thereby leading to improved effective mounting area efficiency.
Concerning the above-mentioned embodiments, semiconductor devices which have three terminals are illustrated and described as examples. However, the present invention is applicable to semiconductor devices which have more than three terminals. Also, concerning the above-mentioned embodiments, it has been explained that one semiconductor chip 39 is mounted on one island. However, more than one semiconductor chip may be mounted on one island. For example, several chips of transistors, a combination of a transistor and a vertical power MOSFET, or other combinations of plural chips may be mounted on one island.
Furthermore, the invention is also applicable to semiconductor devices of not only transistor type, but also to power MOSFET, IGBT, HBT and so on. Further, the invention is also applicable to integrated circuits of bipolar or MOS type by increasing the number of terminals of the semiconductor devices.
Although certain preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

Deadline times are always at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
Your basic entry fee includes entry in one Category and evaluation by one Judge in the First Round of competition.
If you wish to have your script evaluated by more than one Judge in the First Round of competition, you may have up to two additional Judges review your script for an additional $15 each. If your script crosses genres (for example, it's both an Action/Adventure and a Science Fiction script) you may ask the Judges to consider your script in more than one category. Or if your script belongs in only one genre category you may request to have more than one Judge review your script in that same category.
You may also request Judge's Feedback when you enter the contest. If you order Feedback, your First Round Judge will take the extra time to write you several pages of thoughts and ideas about your screenplay, along with an explanation of how your script scored and why. The fee for Judge's Feedback is $79, and your Feedback will be returned to you after our Quarter-Finalists are announced in July. Or if your script advances to the Quarter-Finals, we will hold your Feedback here as long as you are still in the running for a prize.
PLEASE NOTE: Our First Round Judges write Feedback for you on the day they read your script, while it's fresh in their minds, so if you want Feedback from your First Round Judge you must request it when you enter the contest. It cannot be added at a later time.
Would you like to enter several screenplays in this year's contest? If you submit more than one script on the same entry form, you will receive a $5 discount for each additional submission. (Scripts submitted on separate entry forms will each be charged the full price.)
You have the option of paying your contest entry fee either:
Online with a credit card, debit card, bank transfer or PayPal account
Or by Mail with a check or money order (must be in U.S. funds)
As most of our Judges now prefer to read scripts online, we request that you upload and submit your script through our online entry form, preferably as an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file. You can download Adobe Acrobat free of charge at adobe.com. If for some reason you cannot convert your script to a .pdf file, we can also accept Final Draft, Microsoft Word or Text files. (Please make sure the file you send us is not password protected or secured.)
PLEASE NOTE: All submissions are final, so when you enter, please make certain you upload the correct, most current draft of your script. Also, since our judging process is anonymous, please include only the title of your script on your title page. Your name and contact information should not appear anywhere on the title page or within the body of your script.
If for any reason you have problems your script file, please Contact Us and our Contest Coordinator Zoe Simmons will give you further instructions on how to send us your script.

Slaughterhouse-Five Resources
Film and Theater Productions
This film version stars a bunch of people we've never heard of.
Seriously. Vonnegut wasn't too thrilled.
Wonder if Vonnegut went to the premiere?
When Vonnegut died two years after this 2005 interview, Jon Stewart paid tribute to him at the end of an episode by putting up a screen that read, "So it goes."
A tribute to Vonnegut that aired after his death in 2007.
The steady-cam makes us a little seasick. Also, why so serious?
This guy goes to the original slaughterhouse where Vonnegut was a prisoner of war.
Well, here he is.
Well, here he is again.
Aww, he looks cheery!
The Onion A.V. Club does good work: these excerpts from Vonnegut's novels really give us a broad sense of his work as a whole. Of course, this list includes one of the most famous three-word quotes of all time, taken from Slaughterhouse-Five: "So it goes."
This biography provides some details about Vonnegut's life and also focuses on his development as a visual artist. Two of his own illustrations make it into Slaughterhouse-Five: Billy Pilgrim's dream tombstone and Montana Wildhack's breasts with her locket hanging between them.
They liked it.
As you might expect, with all its sex, violence, and religious skepticism, Slaughterhouse-Five has often been banned, including in many school libraries.
Kurt Vonnegut tells us directly how to write with style. We know we're taking notes on this one. [PDF file]

Posted on 09/21/2007 8:17:45 AM PDT by blogsforthompson.com
Fred Thompson hit a homerun in his speech to the NRA! In response to a question after his remarks, Fred said he believed the 2nd Amendment meant the same thing in New York City as it does in Tennessee. He further added that it is more than a coincidence that the places with the highest crime rates often have the most restrictions on gun rights.
He also said during his speech, about his wife, Jeri, "I don't know, but i think Jeri would make a much better First Lady than Bill Clinton!" The NRA crowd loved it!
Fred's position on the 2nd Amendment is in obvious contrast to Rudy Giuliani, who will speak to the NRA shortly. It will be interesting to see how Giuliani tries to defend his past positions on gun control and his statements on the NRA, as evidenced in these clips.........

Rooty Julieannie - from your cold dead hands.
Sorry, our right is not based on any degree of safety. It is a right period. A person has the right to protect themself anywhere, not just in their home. They also have the right to use them for hunting, competition, etc.
From what I see in looking at their website, they have three positive pieces on declared candidates: one each for Governor Mike Huckabee, Congressman Duncan Hunter, and Congressman Ron Paul.
The editorial on Congressman Duncan Hunter is at http://gunowners.org/pres08/hunter.htm; here is an excerpt:
Americans who believe the Second Amendment is crucial to freedom, especially hunters, aren't easily fooled by the campaign ads of candidates who take off their suit coat and tie, pull on a newly purchased hunting coat, stand out in a local field and hold a rifle or shotgun for the news cameras. Posing for these "pro-gun" commercials doesn't make a candidate a "pro-gunner." It takes a deep understanding of the Constitution and years of voting and speaking out to protect our rights. And it doesn't hurt to really be a hunter, shooter, or collector of guns. Congressman Duncan Hunter is all of these things and would serve our nation well as President.
The editorial on Congressman Ron Paul from Gunowners can be found at http://gunowners.org/pres08/paul.htm.
The candidate summary on Governor Huckabee can be found at http://gunowners.org/pres08/huckabee.htm.
>> Pin prick, little blood, parchment, name, guy with horns.
God himself might not've been able to pull off this miracle. My guesses:
(1) he's gay, and he's paying her,
(2) she needed to get married to stay in the country,
(3) he can't be that good in the sack, so maybe she's a lesbian anyway,
(4) maybe she's hoping he'll pull a Paul Wellstone, and she'll get his pension.
Any link to video of his speech?
Ha, ha...Fred can deliver a joke. Too bad he stole the joke from Romney, who used it last week.
AMES, Iowa (CNN) Commenting Saturday on a new Time Magazine cover story titled "The Real Running Mates" which focuses on the current crop of presidential candidates' spouses Republican candidate Mitt Romney said his wife would make a "prettier first lady" than former president Bill Clinton.
"It has a picture of five of the possible first ladies," the former Massachusetts governor said. "In the upper left hand corner it has my wife, and then next to it, it has Bill Clinton. And she is a much prettier first lady than Bill Clinton, I can tell you that!"
The cover story features a photograph of a commemorative White House china plate. On it are the faces of five potential 'first spouses' Bill Clinton, Ann Romney, Elizabeth Edwards, Judith Nathan and Michelle Obama.
Romney made the comments at his tent at the University of Iowa/Iowa State football game. When asked which team he would be supporting, Romney chose to stay neutral, but after a few more people asked the same question, he saw an opportunity to take another subtle jab at the Clinton family, this time toward Hillary.
"I know there's only one thing that would bring both of these Teams together, and that's to make sure that Hillary Clinton is not the next president of the United States," he said.
CNN Iowa Producer Chris Welch
Actually, papasmurf was talking about George Will (as well as others who are Rudy sychophants) whose every editorial about Fred is a hit piece full of non-issue nonsense.
She's pretty hot. So is Obama's chick.
Romney also has the endorsement of a former leader of the NRA.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :-)
I went to his latest website when it first debuted. It looked strikingly similar to someone else's........LOL
Does anyone have the video for this? Not just the joke, the entire speech?
You mean making the posession of toy guns a criminal offense is going to hurt his GOP chances ????
You'll grow hair on your palms if you keep that up.

The expectations for the Owls this upcoming season have been set. Conference USA on Wednesday released its annual preseason media poll. A selected number of media members picked FAU's football team to finish fourth in Conference USA's East division.
Western Kentucky, led by senior quarterback Brandon Doughty, was picked to win the East Division.Read more
In the past two years, FAU's Jaquez Johnson became the starting quarterback, matured as a teammate and graduated early in May with a bachelor's degree in communications. Johnson, a senior who is one of the unquestioned leaders for the Owls, will try to lead FAU to its first bowl game since 2008.Read more
The FAU Owls added a new quarterback Thursday. Tyler Cameron, a star quarterback in high school from Jupiter High, joined the Owls after transferring from Wake Forest to FAU.
Cameron arrived on campus after he was accepted into the school's graduate program within the College of Business.Read more
One of the biggest games for FAU men's basketball team next season will be played a few days before Christmas.
The Owls, who went through a disappointing season last year under first-year coach Michael Curry, will face Florida State in the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic, the school announced Tuesday. The game will be held at the BB&T Center in Sunrise on Dec. 19.Read more
FAU's quarterback situation became clearer Tuesday, just two months before the Owls reconvene to start fall camp.
Greg Hankerson, who has been the backup quarterback behind Jaquez Johnson the last two years, decided to transfer from the program after it became apparent that he would not have the same role in the upcoming season.Read more
The FAU Owls will open their upcoming 2015 season in the midafternoon on Sept. 5. The Owls, who will start on the road against Tulsa, will begin their season at 3:30 p.m. (EST) in a game that will be televised on CBS Sports Network. The announcement came Wednesday from the American Athletic Conference.Read more

Last week, the proposed Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act emerged from the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee with approval. The bill was passed by the Senate last year. If passed by the full House of Representatives and signed into law by the president, it has the potential to offer partial redress to one of the most chilling truths facing journalists today: in 90 percent of cases, the murders of journalists go unpunished.]]>
Published October 8, 2015
The ambush of a convoy in South Sudan and the hacking deaths of bloggers in Bangladesh this year propelled the two nations onto CPJ's Global Impunity Index, which spotlights countries where journalists are murdered and their killers go unpunished. Colombia exited the index as fatal violence against journalists receded further into that country's past.
For the first time since CPJ began compiling the index in 2008, Iraq did not claim the title of worst offender, as Somalia edged into that spot. The shift reflects a steady death toll in Somalia, where one or more journalists have been murdered every year over the past decade, and the government has proved unable or unwilling to investigate the attacks.]]>
New York, September 25, 2015--Each year, the world's leaders are invited to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, where they are given a platform to speak freely and openly. But while the leaders of many countries enjoy this privilege, their journalists back home are jailed, threatened, attacked, or even killed for reporting the news.]]>
Before Maidan, before Tahrir Square, before the "color revolutions" that overthrew entrenched autocrats, there was the Soviet revolution of the late 1980s.]]>
More than a year after the December 2013 mass attack against journalists at Kiev's Maidan Square, which coincided with the Ukrainian police's violent dispersal of protesters rallying against the policies of then-President Viktor Yanukovych, the press in the beleaguered nation continue the battle for survival. The biggest problem remains impunity in attacks against journalists.]]>

This Thursday the Pittsburgh Panthers (3-3, 3-3 ATS) will host the Virginia Tech Hokies (4-2, 3-3 ATS) in a crucial ACC Coastal matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 EST at Heinz Field and will be televised nationally on ESPN. Oddsmakers currently have Virginia Tech listed as a 1-point favorite after originally opening the Hokies as 2.5-point favorite.
Last year Pittsburgh lost 9-19 at Virginia Tech as a 7-point underdog, snapping the Panthers 4-game winning streak in the series. Pittsburgh did win the last meeting at Heinz Field 35-17 as a 10-point underdog, which was the 3rd straight time that they won outright at home as an underdog.
Early Lean on Pittsburgh +1
For whatever reason the Panthers just don't get any respect against the Hokies. Not only has Pittsburgh dominated the series they have owned Virginia Tech at home. It's no secret that the home team has an edge in these weekday night games and I just haven't been all that impressed with the Hokies of late. I feel like this team is getting too much respect for their win at Ohio State. The Buckeyes were still adapting to life without star quarterback Braxton Miller. It's been a bit of a common theme of late, as the Hokies are just 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games when listed as a favorite.
Virginia Tech's defense gets a lot of respect, but Pittsburgh has been equally impressive on that side of the ball this year. In fact, the Panthers come in ranked 4th in the country in total defense, giving up just 277.5 ypg, where the Hokies are 21st at 325.1 ypg.
Panthers are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against a team with a winning road record and 22-7-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a loss.
In a game that figures to be dominated by both defenses, this one is going to come down to turnovers and which team can make the big plays on offense. I give the edge to Pittsburgh in both of these areas. The Hokies have turned it over 13 times in 6 games, largely due to the poor decision making of quarterback Michael Brewer who has 11 interceptions. As for the difference maker on offense, I believe Pittsburgh running back James Conner is just that. Conner is 5th in the country in rushing with 874 yards and should be in prime form off two full weeks of rest.
You also have to like the fact that Pittsburgh has gone 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games off a bye, while Virginia Tech is just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 off an extra week of preparation. Adding to this is the fact that the Panthers are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against a team with a winning road record and 22-7-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a loss.

What: Brocade Communications Systems (Nasdaq: BRCD ) jumped from a slight loss to a 10% gain midday on buyout rumors.
So what: Reuters is reporting that Brocade has received a first round of bids from potential private-equity buyer, according to an unnamed source. Reports are that the company hired Qatalyst Partners as an investment banker to initiate the sale process.
Now what: So far, these reports are just rumors, but the market reacted strongly, sending shares straight higher midday. If you buy shares on this news, I would buy based on fundamentals and not rumors. Rumors can wind up being false or a deal can fall apart, leaving investors holding the bag after a run-up like this. Until the company confirms or denies reports, this Fool is staying put.

Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Although life is grand after a 7-0 homestand that saw sweeps over the severely injured Dodgers (Furcal, AJones, Garciaparra, LaRoche and 3/44) and the severely injured Rockies (Holiday, Hawpe, Tulowitzki and Barmes), I'm sensing strange karma that may be responsible for some weird happenings that are in the news.
To quote Ricardo Montalban, "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold."
Former Cub, Shawn Estes got his only win so far this season as well as the Padres only win against the Cubs. He was slated to open the upcoming series in San Diego vs the Cubs monday night until he fell going from the clubhouse to the dugout friday in San Francisco, breaking the thumb on his left pitching hand. He will be replaced by Cha Seung Baek a 28 yr old Korean and former Mariner minor leaguer.
So if the Estes news is a bit odd, what do you make of the Mark Prior news?
If you haven't heard, Prior apparently has agreed to have more right shoulder surgery after esteemed Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. James Andrews diagnosed a tear in Prior's anterior shoulder capsule. This time, the surgery will be done in San Diego at the Scripps Clinic (by Hans and Franz...well actually Padres team physicians, Drs. Heinz Hoenecke and Dr. Jan Fronek). The surgery date will be set when he sees his doctors this monday. Prior started having a return of shoulder pain during his ongoing rehab in extended spring training in Arizona around May 10th and had to shut down his rehab followed by an MRI and a trip to Dr. Andrews about 2 weeks ago.
As you recall, Last April 2007, Prior has an anterior capsular tightening by Dr. Andrews although reports I've seen have varied as to the operative details of that surgery. From an AP story on 4/27/07:
According to a team statement, Andrews performed a debridement of Prior's rotator cuff and repaired labral and capsular injuries in the shoulder.
"It stayed in the arthroscopic stage. But I think he had some touch up work in a lot of places," Hendry said. "But at the same time there didn't seem to be anything so significant that it would require more than the scope. It didn't have to be opened up and have extensive surgery."
If Prior does have a tear in the anterior shoulder capsule, it means the tightening procedure he had back in 2007 has had a tissue failure in an area most likely to be near where it was previously tightened. Things like that happen, but what to do about it gets more complex if it's bad tissue and not looseness of the shoulder that's his problem now.
When Hendry and the Cubs cut ties with Prior, it wasn't as if they hadn't tried to re-sign their first round (2nd pick) draft choice of the 2001 amateur draft. Hendry had two options, one was to offer Prior arbitration which would have amounted to another year of rehabbing for $3-plus million salary for 2008. The other option was to negotiate a new deal that would keep Prior as a Cub for two years but at a discount compared to the 2008 arbitration salary possibilities while he was rehabbing from surgery and a club option for 2009 (if his rehab was reasonably successful). Hendry offered a deal that would have given Prior more money than he ultimately signed for in San Diego (which was $1M). The proposed 2009 club option was based on medical advice that pitchers who underwent the type of surgery Prior had often need 2 years to recover fully. The Cubs had been paying Prior $3.1M in 2004, $3.5M in 2005, $3.65M in 2006 and $3.575 M in 2007. Considering he didn't pitch in 2007 and only pitched 43 futile innings in 2006, Hendry must have been thinking that's alot of green to spend for a pitcher that wasn't able to pitch and probably wouldn't be competitively healthy again until 2009.
Prior apparently was advised he would be better off (financially) as an unrestricted free agent for the 2009 season assuming he showed any semblence of his old form as a starter. It would also be easier to recover in laid back San Diego without the Chicago media to unearth every bit of minutia that happened along that road to recovery. After signing with the Padres, he expected a full recovery and even had predictions he'd join the Padres staff by June 1. Oddly, today's announcement came on that date. It was a calculated risk on his agent's part and it has just turned sour.
So now what?
The Cubs have finally and it appears happily moved on. Having the best record in baseball as of June 1st and knowing that they haven't achieved such early success since 1908 will give the media plenty of fodder for the moment. Without Prior, yet getting strong contributions as closer from a so far so good and healthy Kerry Wood makes a Star Wars, Episode VI ending seem possible. Moving on meant giving Kevin Hart jersey #22. The Cubs don't owe Mark Prior a penny for 2008 (or 2009). The Padres just flushed One Million Dollars down the proverbial toilet. Sure that's peanuts to a ballclub, but it couldn't have happened to a nicer club (so says Lee Smith, Leon Durham and Rick Sutcliffe). Mark Prior is moving on to his second shoulder surgery and what HE gets to expect will not be sorted out until they re-explore his shoulder.
He won't even be the Padres concern come October.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Methinks the Drs. Amos and Andy would have better success with Prior's maladies.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Sucks about Prior. Even if he's not with us anymore I feel for the guy - he was the best in the biz, arguably, in late 03.
On to brighter news - 1st time in 1st in league on June 1 since 08? Lovin' it!!!! Guess I'd better get back to reading Crazy 08 after all.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
prior learned the hard way there's a difference between hiding a blister from the medical crew/trainers/coaches and hiding minor foot/shoulder problems.
there's a time to "man up" and a time to get ready to go to work. april isn't the playoffs.
hopefully the cubs learned a lesson, too, about taking a kid's word vs. checking a kid out if they think there might be a medical problem.
at least it's not the cubs' problem.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
I read Crazy 08 the past January. Loved the current event anecdotes thrown in to make one appreciate how different the times were.
Here's a Hardball Times interview with the author Cait Murphy
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Crazy 08 was full of anecdotal stories of the era particularly Chicago politics/corruption. Had never heard of this famous serial killer near Chicago (LaPorte, IN) but it was included although I don't remember if there was any baseball connection.
Belle Gunness
Thanks Cubster ...
for those two links. I vaguely remember Cait Murphy being interviewed on one of the Chicago radio stations a year ago or so as well, but that interview is really good. I like those historically contextual-type books, so I think I'll like this one if I ever get time to read it.

"Sweeep!!! Sweeep!!! Sweeep!!!"
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
He certainly wasn't much of a teammate to the minor - leaguers while he was on his many rehab stints here. In fact, he came across as a major - league jerkhole. Nothing wrong with that - it's a business after all, but it's hard to feel anything for the guy at this point.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
great Star Trek plug with the Klingon proverb...
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Belle Gunness was an amateur compared to Elizabeth Bathory, but there's actually currently a film in the works on Gunness' life story and there are no ties to her and the Cubs or baseball in general. She was just a pop culture example to reference the era/time.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
No, I just read about Gunness, so I'm up on Chicago Politics, dB. But you're not the angry, brilliant young mind you once were, just itching to vent your frustrations. Once RobG told you it wasn't your fault, you lost the edge, dB. You stopped hitting the books with a vengeance, and now I've read stuff you haven't even heard about yet.
Face facts, my friend--love made you soft, unable to stand up to an academic showdown, like you used to. You're just no longer that good--dB Hunting.
Now how do you like them apples?
(no, really, I don't know why I spent 15 minutes looking for and editing that from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. There is something wrong with me, something very very wrong with me. Above post was all in jest)
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Chad:There is something wrong with me, something very very wrong with me.
Phew! I made it!
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
1) Gunness had nothing to do with Chicago politics.
2) anyone who thinks Kevin Smith diolog is biting satire will likely soon use Tina Fey references in the same regard.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
ouch man! I was only kidding around. You're post made me think of that scene so I played on it. I didn't mean anything by it at all.
And Kevin Smith rules (used to). Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back sucked. As did Clerks 2. but Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma are great.
And Tina Fey rules too. 30 Rock is the funniest show on TV. And that comes from a converted Tina Hater.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
I can't say I feel anything for Prior any more, either. I laughed my ass off when I saw this news this morning. Not after all the stories of his general attitude. Was there any mention of checking his vagina while they were already operating on him?
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls

Woo! Go ignorant sexism!
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
I giggled. Sorry. Guess that makes me an ignorant sexist and a chauvinist in your mind to some extent, as well. Sorry I let you down, buddy.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Ouch. Called an ignorant sexist by someone I've never even met or spoken to, for a playful jab I took at an Ex-Cub's manhood. How will I ever recover?
Woo! Go ignorant prejudice!
(ducks behind cardboard life-size Mark Prior cutout)
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
It's true that you're totally sexist and should be ashamed of your misogynist ways--but the Big Lowitzki is a total fag for calling you on it.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Taking posts #3 and #12 together, Prior is a soft pussy who was an idiot for trying to pitch through pain. Makes sense.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
We'll never know to what extent his injuries and willingness/unwillingness to pitch through them encompassed. The team kept everyone in the dark about his many physical problems, and Prior kept mum about them as well.

Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on Fantasy Baseball, so it looks like they can continue to use the players names and stats for free for now.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Are MLB and MLBPA really so hard up on money that they need to squeeze out every last cent and piss off their current and future fanbases?
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
I've always had mixed feelings about naming little league teams after big league clubs. It's great if your kid is on a team he likes. It's another story if your kid is a Cubs fan but ends up on the White Sox or Cardinals. :/
Little League
I disagree, and I actually had to COACH the White Sox last year.
Our league went to minor league team names for a couple of years, and while some of the uniforms are pretty cool (we were the Burlington Bees one year), the kids were totally bummed. They don't care whose teams they're on, as long as they look like major leaguers.
Re: Little League
Cool. I suspect that's true with the vast majority of kids.
A year or two ago, I heard a couple of rather heated discussions on the radio (one on local Chicago sports talk, another on Dan Patrick) where people were taking the opposite viewpoint -- "my kid isn't a Cubs fan but they're making him join the Cubs". Of course, it was all adults complaining, not the kids. 8)
Here's a fun bit for little leaguers:
Re: Little League
I was always jealous of the kids who were on the "Cubs". When I was a kid, wearing your little league cap to school was cool, especially since they had a real MLB logo on them. I always wanted to be on the "Cubs" so I could wear a Cubs hat. Unfortunately, I never got to be.
It just felt wrong to wear another team's colors.
Re: Little League
in our little league there were no team names (mlb). It was chico's bail bonds style.
i played for Mac Towing in my last year before i transfered leagues to another town's where they used real team names.
Re: Little League
I had 2 years with Steele's Auto and Wrecker, a year with Chicago's Pizza, and then, my favorite, a year with Brummett's Trash Service.
Re: Little League
I started with "Jackie's Pizza" -- a team with great coaches, teaching me lots of things (like not to swing flat-footed). Unfortunately for me, my dad also owned a business that sponsored a team. I was traded to my dad's team, and the coaches there sucked. I regressed on almost everything.
I'm sure that's the only thing that stood between me and a multi-million dollar MLB career.
/that's the ticket
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
We fans of language tend to refer to that behavior as "greed."
And the answer is yes, they are a bunch of greedy bastards. Greed causes businesses (and let's be frank, professional baseball is a business) to pick short term, two handed money grabbing over solid long term gains. This also tends to be a good indicator that the business has a weak managerial culture that encourages intellectual short sightedness.
But you all know all of this already. MLB is run by a bunch of freaking idiots.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
How does that work out? Do the Pads have to shoulder the cost of Prior's surgery?
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Of course the Pads pay for the surgery. Who else would pay? I'm sure the MLB health care package is pretty sweet :)
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Sorry apparently you missed the pun intended. i should've italicized "shoulder".
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
I bet it will cost an arm and a leg. Okay, at least an arm.
Re:Do the Pads have to shoulder the cost
Now that was humerus. Socket to me...
Re:Do the Pads have to shoulder the cost
These comments are really off the cuff.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Not that power rankings mean anything, but...
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
The Cubs SHOULD be rated #1 which is about the first time I can say that in my lifetime. Even the 84 team would have been blocked by the Tigers at that time had power ratings been around then. In 03 the Braves, Giants and Yankees all won over 100 games.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Not that power rankings mean anything, but...
even Phil (wrongway) Rogers is on board with his power rankings:
I say, hey...somebody's got to be #1, might as well be us.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Haha yes, the best is:
"You would find a negative charater flaw in Mother Teresa. You really are unbelievable".
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Rosenbloom is getting hammered, my god, lol.
Re: Revenge of the Voodoo dolls
Rosey (now that's an oxymoron) is from LA so deep down he's most likely a Dodger fan, tries to be cynical/skeptical just because he amuses himself with that approach and would much rather be playing (and losing) at Texas hold'em than really putting any thought into what he writes.

Well noted. You may also note that Lester's Career Playoff ERA is almost a full point lower, and he has a lower WHIP as well.
Can't have everything, I guess.
i'm happy enough with the Lester signing, but Scherzer has more than earned the extra money so far. If he was in the rotation instead of Lester, this team would feel practically bulletproof to me.
Blaspheme maybe, but I think Scherzer is the best pitcher in the NL right now.

Great Cuban place at the Stables Market - about a 7 minute walk from Camden Town tube station. There's often live music or salsa dancing (classes or parties) going on. This is great when you come for a drink (cocktails are great!) - but if you want to have a conversation over dinner, take a table upstairs! The restaurant is really spacious (rare for London - where in most places tables are only 30 cms apart!) and looks authentic! The tapas (especially the quesadillas), paella creole and sangria are delicious. Feel like sampling different dishes? I highly recommend the 9 tapas and sangria offer! Only slight minus is that you may have to waive (quite a bit) to get staff's attention - once you have it, they are very friendly!
Do not eat at the upstairs restaurant! A friend booked her leaving meal for the restaurant upstairs, the restaurant was only serving one other table upstairs but took an hour and 20minutes for us to get our food after ordering, they forgot 2 peoples orders and when they realised their mistake they didn't say anything to us just kept re-assuring us the food was coming in a minute. After everyone in the group had finished eating and the 2 remaining meals were still missing an hour and 45minutes after ordering we cancelled the last 2 dishes. We had to demand an explanation and an apology, none was offered voluntary but they did offer the people who's meals hadn't arrived a free drink each but that hardly made up for not eating. A severe lack of customer service and responsibility. After the meal I looked at reviews on trip advisor all of which said to avoid the place at all costs. Just terrible.

We all appreciate the beauty of a solo goal.
The player in question galloping forward, brushing off their opponents with a single stride, leaving them behind as if they were a childhood memory best forgotten, and then either rounding the keeper before sliding the ball home or executing the perfect finish past a helpless keeper.
They are a rarity but, when they come along, they are wonderful to watch. Seeing Gareth Bale out sprint Barcelona's Marc Bartra from inside his own half before scoring the winner for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final a few months ago was a thing of pure beauty.
But was it the best? Not a chance. Well, you could argue that they're all the best in their own right. But here's FIVE I'd say top it.

moreTwo devastating short novels adapted for the stage by Steinbeck himself
This Penguin Classics edition celebrates Steinbeck's dramatic adaptations of his most powerful short novels, Of Mice and Men and The Moon Is Down, featuring a foreword by award-winning actor James Earl Jones.
Of Mice and Men represents an experiment in form – as Steinbeck put it, "a kind of playable novel, written in novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands." A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films. Of Mice and Men received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1937-1938. A number of acclaimed actors have interpreted the iconic roles of George and Lennie for stage and screen, including James Earl Jones, John Malkovich and Gary Sinise.
The Moon Is Down uncovers profound, often unsettling truths about war and human nature. It tells the story of a peaceable town taken by enemy troops, and had an extraordinary impact as Allied propaganda in Nazi-occupied Europe.
This Penguin Classics edition of the theatrical adaptations of Steinbeck's two classic short novels is essential to actors, playwrights, filmmakers and directors studying the dramatic work of the Nobel Prize winning author of The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Wigan will be big underdogs when they take on Manchester City in the club's first FA Cup final, and they have not been helped by a string of untimely injuries.
The Latics looked to have overcome an injury crisis that contributed to a poor run in the Barclays Premier League earlier this season but the problem has returned.
Antolin Alcaraz, Jean Beausejour (both hamstring), Maynor Figueroa (groin) and Ronnie Stam (ankle) have all picked up knocks in recent games, joining long-term absentees Albert Crusat and Ivan Ramis on the sidelines.
Alcaraz is the only one of the six who has a chance of playing again this season, but the cup final may come too soon for the influential Paraguayan.
Caldwell said: "It's one of the worst things in football to be injured and to miss any game but to miss a game as big as this is a big blow for them and hopefully the team that goes out can put in a performance that wins the game for those guys.
"Throughout the course of the competition it's been a real squad effort, from the younger players who started the competition to get us through the early rounds to now the team that's been playing in the last couple of rounds."

Olives in the grass is a modern architectural designed house- entering you feel the tranquillity- Views over pasture, dunes, the seabreeze, and the amazing sunsets add to the feeling of peacefulness you experience staying here.
Close to Williamsons beach, a little further from Inverloch and Cape Patersons' wind-, surf, and children safe beaches - 15 minutes from Phillip Island, and 5 minutes from Archies creek's and Kilcunda's fine dining, Olives in the grass is a place to relax and enjoy.
Positioned 300 meters from the Wonthaggi-Kilcunda trail, and the new nature reserve behind the dunes, it is ideal to enjoy walks, bike-rides, or ride your horse. (Small treed paddock with water available on request).
The railtrail leads from Wonthaggi via the mouth of Powlett river and Kilcunda to the road to Phillip Island.
Our beautiful house.
Olives in the grass is built according to Fung shui principles, which translates in an amazingly peaceful feeling. The kitchen is modern and has all features needed, including Oven, Microwave, Gas stove, dishwasher etc.
The living room is divided in open plan sections, ideal for reading, dining or enjoying a movie (TV and DVD player)
The master bedroom has a queen bed and en-suite, bedroom 2 has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has 2 bunkbeds, and sleeps 4.
The bathrooms are modern and luxurious.
The house is heated by split system heating, and cooled by the indoor garden with pond, and through the smart design of the house.
The barbecue area is shielded against the coastal breeze.
In the garage you can store your fishing gear, or park the boat safely. (by request)
Or use it for surfboards and wetsuits, use the (childrens-) bikes to ride the trails to beach and river, the paddock for your horse or pony, or the extensive lawn to play.
Or don't.
Just watch the olives grow. Look at the sunsets. Listen to the birds and look at the cows come home from the terrace while you are reading a book.
The area
*The Christmas period can only be booked as a whole; 24, 25 December combined- in peak times there is a minimum of 3 nights.
Olives in the grass is a place to be, or come home to.
Close by are Wonthaggi , with its shops and coal-mine. (Our kids love to ride the traffic-free trail there and get an ice-cream), endless beaches that are good for surfing waves or wind, or paddle with the kids, or fish, visit the dinosaur fossil site, or just be the only one, even on busy days...
Along the coast there are many beautiful walks - and the bunurong coastal drive offers amazing views.
Inverloch and Wonthaggi have various shops for fun or all your needs, and Phillip Island, which is only 15 minutes away and offers a variety of activities.
Further away (but not too far) is Wilsons promontory, great for walks and nature experience.
There is a variety of restaurants in Dalyston (try the OZON hotel (!)), Inverloch and Wonthaggi, Kilcunda has the hotel and general store where we love to have lunch, Have breakfast in the Hicksborough general store or drive to Phillip island where the coastal towns and wineries offer diverse hospitality.
Olives in the grass sadly can't accommodate Cats or Dogs, because of the nearby dairy farm and our type of fencing.
You can however bring your Horse or Pony, if you accept a treed and bushy paddock, with water. The paddock is well fenced, but has no electric fencing. Use of the paddock is entirely at your own risk.

Just began testing out this shopping cart. Created two test products -- one for $35 on sale for $25, and one for $150. In both cases, the prices are not displaying. Instead, it says "Free."
What could explain this? Is there something I failed to do in the set-up? The only gateway I have activated is Paypal.
