The present invention relates to a micro-electromechanical relay that combines clamping cantilever beams with movable shuttle structure to provide strong contact force, latching mechanism, and high standoff voltage.
Micro-electro-mechanical system or MEMS refers to micro devices that typically integrate electrical and mechanical elements on a common substrate or substrate stack using microfabrication technology. The electrical elements are typically formed using metal film deposition and patterning techniques, and the mechanical elements are normally fabricated using micromachining techniques which include deposition, lithographic patterning, and etching of various structural and sacrificial materials. Wafer bonding or mating techniques to form multi-layer substrate stack is also commonly used in the fabrication of MEMS devices. Examples of MEMS devices include accelerometers, pressure sensors, micro mirror arrays and MEMS switches to name a few.
MEMS switches generally include two classes of electrical switching devices. One class of the MEMS switches relies on capacitive coupling to switch a radio frequency or microwave signals. This type of MEMS switches only works at high frequencies. The other class of switching devices utilizes metal-metal contact to accomplish the electrical switching function. This class of MEMS switching devices works at DC as well as RF and microwave frequencies, and is usually referred to as micro-electromechanical relays.
Micro-electromechanical relays are inherently small and potentially low cost devices when compared with the conventional electromechanical devices. Micro-electromechanical relays are also capable of high performance over a wide frequency range in terms of insertion loss, isolation, and response linearity, particularly when compared to transistor and diode types of devices. Many of the micro-electromechanical relays developed use electrostatic actuation to deflect cantilever beams or some type of suspended deformable structures for switching actions. The cantilever beams or the suspended deformable structures usually have metal members attached which either serve as part of the conductor terminals or simply a metal bar to short the conductor terminals electrically. The electrostatic actuation method has the advantage of low power consumption and relatively fast switching time but suffers from low contact force inherent to this actuation method. Low contact force corresponds to small contact area and high electrical resistance at the contact, limiting the power level and the lifetime of the micro-electromechanical relay. The physical gap between the cantilever beam and the conductor terminals in the "off" state of the relay is typically on the order of a few micrometers in order to keep the actuation voltage reasonably low. This however makes the relay more susceptible to "self-actuation" caused by voltage spikes in the control lines or high voltage component carried in the signal lines. Examples of MEMS cantilever beam type of relays using electrostatic actuation method are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,258,591 entitled "Low inductance cantilever switch", in the name of inventor Buck, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,578,976 entitled "Micro electromechanical RF switch", in the name of inventor Yao.
The amount of power or current the micro-electromechanical relay can handle is not only limited by the contact resistance of the relay, the overall electrical resistance of the device also has to be kept low in order to minimize the power loss to the relay device itself. Most of the micro-electromechanical relays use thin-film conductors with thicknesses on the order of 1 μm or so for the signal terminals which tend to have relatively high values of electrical resistance for the whole device, regardless of the actuation method. A possible solution to this problem is to increase the conductor thickness to the range of 10-50 μm to reduce the overall resistance of the relay and make it robust. Electroplating is one process technique that can produce such conductors.
Other actuation methods such as shape memory alloy (SMA), electromagnetic, and thermal actuations have also been used in various designs of micro-electromechanical relays. Thermally actuated micro-electromechanical relays can usually provide the high contact force desired and the contact resistance of this type of micro-electromechanical relays can be very low. Thermally actuated relays usually have much higher power consumption compared with relays that use electrostatic actuation. U.S. Pat. No. 4,423,401 issued to Mueller described an early example of a thermally actuated micro-electromechanical relay and U.S. Pat. No. 5,955,817 issued to Dhuler et al is a more recent example of thermally actuated micro-electromechanical relay.
Most of the micro-electromechanical relays require continued application of the actuation voltage or current in order to maintain the relay in at least one of the desired "on" and "off" positions. The only exceptions are those switches that are bi-stable and capable of latching into "on" and "off" positions mechanically. Latching or bi-stable relays have the advantage of reduced power consumption as the only time power is required is during switching. Latching switches are also immune to power failures which is a feature needed by many applications.
An example of thermally actuated bi-stable micro-electromechanical relays is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,239,685 entitled "Bistable micromechanical switches", issued May 29, 2001, in the name of inventors Albrecht and Reiley. The relay has a bi-material beam actuator which relies on controlled level of built-in stress and differential thermal expansion coefficients in the bi-material stack to make the relay bi-stable. The bi-material beam in the MEMS relay described in this patent is clamped at both ends and has a limited travel distance between the "on" and "off" state which means the device will have a fairly low standoff voltage. U.S. Pat. No. 6,753,582 issued to Ma disclosed another example of thermally actuated bi-stable micro-electromechanical relays, where a pair of in-plane (lateral) movement thermal actuators is used to push a vertical leaf spring structure (a pre-deformed beam) to provide the snap action of a bi-stable switch.
One challenging issue with the use of double-clamped beam structures having built-in stress is the ability to control and maintain the stress level in the beams during the microfabrication process. The built-in stress is often achieved through deposition of films with a desired stress level, which is often difficult to control from run to run. In addition, subsequent process steps may also alter the stress level within the films, making it even more difficult to maintain the stress at a certain level in these structures. Another issue with this approach is the limited vertical travel distance of the double-clamped beam which corresponds to lower standoff voltage. Use of a pre-deformed vertical leaf spring described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,753,582 eliminates the above-mentioned problems. However, the difficulty with this approach lies in getting good profile and smooth surface finish on the vertical wall of the electrode structures required for good metal-metal contact.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,684,638 issued to Quenzer and Wagner described a micro actuator arrangement for bi-stable micro-electromechanical relay. The micro actuator arrangement combines two or more thermomechanical actuators to achieve high contact force and mechanical latching. The thermomechanical actuators are made of a single material such as electroplated nickel and are disposed on a semiconductor substrate. The micro actuator arrangement is comprised of one lateral actuator that produces movement parallel to the substrate surface in response to thermal stimulation, and one vertical actuator that produce movement perpendicular to the substrate surface in response to thermal stimulation. In the disclosed arrangement, the vertical actuator is a single beam fixed at both ends (also known as double-clamped beam) that can buckle upward in response to a temperature increase.
In general, the designs proposed and developed thus far by various groups do not have the design flexibility for the micro-electromechanical relay to provide low contact resistance, high power handling, and high stand-off voltage in the same device. Furthermore, the fabrication methods proposed so far rely on building the required electrical and mechanical elements on top of a single substrate to realize the device, an approach that is not always flexible enough to address all the design and fabrication issues. Thus, there remains a need for micro-electromechanical relays that are capable of latching, low contact resistance, high power, and high standoff voltage, as well as more flexible ways to fabricate such devices.
The present invention is directed to a micro-electromechanical relay that can produce low electrical resistance at the metal-metal contacts and is capable of mechanical latching. More specifically, the present micro-electromechanical relay combines actuating cantilever beams with a moveable shuttle-like spacer structure to generate high contact forces at the metal-metal contacts of the relay from the clamping action of the cantilever beams. The high contact forces produce larger metal-metal contact area which leads to low electrical resistance at the contact. The combination of cantilever beams with a movable shuttle structure also provides a mechanical latching mechanism for the present micro-electromechanical relay.
According to various aspects of the invention: One or more cantilever beams are attached to a base substrate at their fixed ends and free at the other ends capable of out-of-plane (substantially vertical) movement when actuated. A moveable shuttle structure is provided with a conductor plate attached to one end that can be placed underneath the cantilever beams when the cantilever beams are actuated upward (away from the base substrate surface). The other end of the shuttle structure may be attached to an actuator capable of in-plane (substantially parallel to the base substrate) movement. The base substrate may further comprise of one or more fixed conductors disposed on its surface, and the fixed conductors form part of the electrical circuit for the relay signal. Each of the cantilever beams may have a conductor layer attached to but electrically isolated from its underside, and the conductor layer forms part of the electrical circuit for the signal of the relay. To provide a latching function, when the cantilever beams are not actuated, they exert a downward clamping force to press against the shuttle structure and the conductor plate, thereby establishing the electrical connections between the conductor terminals of the micro-electromechanical relay. The downward clamping force also holds the conductor plate and the shuttle structure in place even when the actuation for the movable shuttle is turned off, providing a mechanical latching mechanism for the micro-electromechanical relay.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the cantilever beams are composed of two dissimilar materials having different thermal coefficients of expansion (TCEs), and can be thermally actuated to move upward from their flat neutral positions when heated, allowing the in-plane movement actuator to extend and place the shuttle structure underneath of the cantilever beams. When the heating is turned off, the bi-material cantilever beams will attempt to go back to their neutral positions, creating a strong clamping force upon the shuttle structure to hold the conductor plate against at least one of the conductor terminals, therefore establishing an electrical path between two conductor terminals of the relay. This device configuration provides the advantage of high contact force, a latching mechanism, and large physical gap between conductors in the "off" state to provide high standoff voltage for the present relay.
According to another aspect of this invention, the shuttle actuator for moving the shuttle structure is an electrostatic actuator, preferably one or a series of comb drive actuators such as the ones described by Tang et al. in "Laterally driven polysilicon resonant microstructures" in Proceedings of IEEE Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (pp. 53-59 February 1989).
According to yet another aspect of this invention, the shuttle actuator for moving the shuttle structure is a thermal actuator, preferably a plurality of bent-beam actuators in a series configuration for large displacement.
Further aspects of the invention provide advantageous methods of fabricating the micro-electromechanical relay which involve processing of two separate substrates independently prior to joining them together. For example, in one fabrication method, a silicon substrate is first attached to a base substrate and preferably thinned afterwards. The silicon substrate may comprise electrical conductors, mechanical structures, and other elements formed on the surface facing the base substrate, prior to its attachment to the base substrate. The cantilever beams, the movable shuttle and the shuttle actuator for the micro-electromechanical relay are then formed in the silicon layer attached to the base substrate in subsequent process steps. The base substrate can be glass, ceramic, or semiconductor wafer with TCEs closely matching that of silicon, and may further comprise of electrical conductors, mechanical structures, and other needed elements formed prior to the attachment.
In another fabrication method, a prefabricated top substrate is attached to a prefabricated base substrate to complete the final assembly of the micro-electromechanical relay. The top substrate is preferably silicon that has been processed to have all the electrical and mechanical elements fabricated, including the cantilever beams, the movable shuttle and the shuttle actuator prior to the attachment. The base substrate is preferably a glass or a ceramic substrate, with fixed conductors disposed on the surface and prefabricated electrical vias through the substrate for electrical interconnects, prior to the attachment. The base substrate material's TCE should match closely to that of the top substrate. According to a further aspect of fabrication, the top substrate and the base substrate are attached only in selected areas, to allow the cantilever beams and the shuttle structure move freely.
According to another aspect of the preferred fabrication methods of this invention, the area that is not attached between the top and bottom substrates may be defined by etched recess in the base substrate or the top substrate. The etched recess also provides the space to accommodate the signal line conductors of the relay and create the suspension of the cantilever beams. Alternatively, the recessed area can be formed by having a spacer layer between the top substrate and the base substrate in selected regions.
There will now be described preferred embodiments of the invention, by reference to the drawings, by way of illustration, in which:
The present invention can be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying figures in which two preferred embodiments of the invention are shown and two methods of fabrication are illustrated. It should be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit the invention to the particular embodiments and methods disclosed, but on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
With the cantilever beams 103 bent away from the substrate 101, the shuttle 104 is now free to travel in-plane without interference. The preferred actuation methods to move the shuttle is through the electrostatic comb-drive actuator structure 106, but other methods now known, or hereafter developed, such as a thermal bent-beam actuator (not shown) can also be used. The second stage in closing the relay is to actuate the comb-drive structure 106, which moves the shuttle 104 forward, in-plane and to a location above the conductors 102 a, 102 b. The third stage in closing the relay is to relax the cantilever beams 103 so that they move downwards and clamp the shuttle 104 to the base substrate 101. An electrical current path now exists through the conductor 102 a, the shuttle conductive plate 105, and the conductor 102 b, allowing DC or high frequency signals to pass through in the "closed" state of the relay.
The comb-drive actuator structure 106 need not be powered in this final configuration, since the cantilever beams provide enough force to hold the shuttle in place. When the device is operated this way, it is able to maintain the "closed" state without consuming any power and is referred to as a latching micro-electromechanical relay. This is the fourth and final stage in closing the relay. To open the relay, the cantilever beams 103 need only be bent out-of-plane and away from the substrate. The shuttle then returns to its original position through a restoring force provided by the springs 107.
The first stage in closing the relay is to bend the cantilever beams 203 out-of-plane and away from the substrate 201. There is a preferred method of bending the cantilever beams, disclosed later, but the mechanisms involved are not shown on this figure for simplicity.
With the cantilever beams 203 bent away from the substrate 201, the shuttle structure 204 is now free to travel in-plane without interference. The preferred means of moving the shuttle is through the comb-drive actuator structure 206, although other mechanisms now known, such as a thermal bent-beam actuator, or hereafter developed, can also be used. The second stage in closing the relay is to actuate the comb-drive structure 206, which moves the shuttle 204 forward, in-plane and to a location below the cantilever beams 203. The third stage in closing the relay is to relax the cantilever beams 203 so that they move downwards and contact the conductive plate 205 on the shuttle 204. An electrical current path now exists through the conductor 208 a, the layer 209 a, the shuttle conductive plate 205, the layer 209 b, and the conductor 208 b, allowing the DC or high frequency signals to pass through in the "closed" state of the relay. The comb-drive structure 206 need not be powered in this final configuration, since the cantilever beams provide enough force to hold the shuttle in place. This is the fourth and final stage in closing the relay. To open the relay, the cantilever beams 203 need only be bent out-of-plane and away from the substrate. The shuttle then returns to its original position through a restoring force provided by the springs 207.
In a preferred embodiment, the thin-film resistive layer 311 only runs along the first third of the total length. A gold conductive layer 312 a, 312 b is placed on the top surface of the thin-film resistive heater 311 at the near side of the thin-film resistive heater, and otherwise runs off the cantilever beam. Electrical current flows from a source placed some distance away, through the conductive layer 312 a, into the thin-film resistive heater 311, and returns through the conductive layer 312 b. The thin-film resistive heater 311 increases in temperature and provides an increase in temperature of the remaining layers 303, 309, 310 through conductive heat transfer. As the temperature increases in the main structural layer 303 and the secondary structural layer 309, the difference in TCE's will cause the entire cantilever beam to bend upwards. Depending upon the choice of materials, additional layers may be necessary as adhesion layers or diffusion barriers. These adhesion layers and diffusion barriers are not shown on the figure for simplicity.
Many variations and modifications can be made to the preferred embodiments and methods without departing from the principles of the present invention. All such variations and modifications are intended to be included herein within the scope of the present invention, as set forth in the following claims.

for example i had no load locks for my next run I told my dispatcher this twice i was was informed to come to McAlester ok to pick news ones while there I had my truck serviced. Well i got payed from McAlester ok to Tulsa ok not from oklahoma city ok to McAlester ok then to Tulsa. Well I was told that he doesn't pay for getting the truck serviced that was on the driver. also the miles were 123 I was told it was only 84. This man has no respect for anyone. So quit on 3-27-13 i told dispatch I quit I asked if I could take the truck to Columbus OH from Indianapolis IN. then a dispatch going the other direction came in, I requested once again to take the truck to Columbus OH it was then I was told to do so. They now saying iI quit under a load I was empty during all this. The load came after iI had quit. Please remember i was hired on being pay for all load and empty miles. So how is it now he can not pay me for miles i ran with orders from dispatch. this person and company is crooked. Lets not get on all the logs I falsified for them to run late loads. I feel something should be done about this company and other companies that do these things to driver. If anyone can help i thank you for it.

Hi I'm using the Constructor theme and I want to remove little navigation link at the bottom of every page as I'm using static pages to make a website.
I don't know where to look in the CSS. Help me please.
Hi I'm using the Constructor theme and I want to remove little navigation link at the bottom of every page as I'm using static pages to make a website.
I don't know where to look in the CSS. Help me please.
I have the same issue, looked everywhere to resolve it. No success yet. Have you found a solution?
if you want somebody to check if this is possible with css, please post a link to your site.
have you tried all possible options and settings in that theme?
Hi, I tried all options and settings in the theme. I really think it is code related (and I am not an expert on this).
On each static page at the bottom appears a link like:
« Contact
This links refers to the next page id number.
My site is http://www.alexenlily.nl
Please paste footer.php in theme folder at http://wordpress.pastebin.com/
Select PHP syntax highlighting so we can easily read the code
Post the link you get at pastebin here, so that we can look at it.
unfortunately, i get an error message when trying to access your site:
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/18.104.22.16835 Server at http://www.alexenlily.nl Port 80
looking into footer.php does not help, as constructor is widely function and option driven.
Hi, this is what is in the footer.php. I have not changed anything there. Thanks for having a look at it.
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Constructor

// check active
if (is_active_sidebar('footer')
or is_active_sidebar('footer-posts')
or is_active_sidebar('footer-pages')
or is_active_sidebar('footer-categories')) {
echo "
// switch statement for widget place
switch (true) {
case (is_archive() && dynamic_sidebar('footer-categories')):
case (is_page() && dynamic_sidebar('footer-pages')):
case (is_single() && dynamic_sidebar('footer-posts')):
case (dynamic_sidebar('footer')):
// nothing
echo "
looking into footer.php does not help, as constructor is widely function and option driven.
thanks; I did not know that theme
Hi, if it is not in the footer where do you think the problem is? Please let me know so I can put the code on pastebin or on this site.
Thanks for having a look at it!
You have two ways:
1. Edit file navigation.php and remove all code from it
2. Hide links with CSS rule:
.navigation {
Hi Anton,
Thanks for your reply. I would like to apply the second solution. In which template do I have to apply the CSS rule, in style.css or css.php or css-editor.php?
Hi Anton,
In the meantime I decided to delete the code from navigation.php. This worked like sunshine, thanks a lot!

Best deals for 2013 and outstanding service
Lebanon, a blend of the present and past, has something in store for each visitor. Its fast cities, old towns, historical sites, authentic Lebanon hotels, ski Lebanon resorts, world heritage sites, and many more interesting locations offer a wide range of holiday options. It is a land of spectacular Mediterranean coastline, stunning mountain ranges, rich and ancient history, with friendly and warm-hearted people.
Entertainment is a rich part of social life in Lebanon, with traditional dances such as the dabbke and sword dances being immensely popular.
The western coast of Lebanon has a wide array of beach locations for a relaxing getaway; and the famous Békaa Valley is one of Lebanon's highlights - home to an abundance of agriculture, great wineries and the ancient Baalbek, often referred to as the City of the Sun during the Greco-Roman times. Use one of the many Beirut hotels as the perfect base to explore this amazing country.
Lebanon offers a wide choice of places to stay , ranging from budget hotels in Beirut to 5 star resorts. Mostl accommodation is located in the cities like Beirut, Jounieh, Tripoli, Saida and Tyre, but you can also book some charming mountain lodges and connect with local people. The perfect way to do this is by taking a local tour when you arrive. You can also use your Lebanon map to help you choose your hotel in Lebanon based on location. If you still don't find what you're looking for, then feel free to drop us an email to email@example.com and we will swiftly revert and provide you with advice and guidance.
Almost every sport is represented in Lebanon, including golf, skiing in Faraya, tennis, water skiing and yachting. The Beirut race course, set in its pine woods, is a favourite with race goers. Only in Lebanon can you swim in the sea in winter as well as spring and an hour later ski at 1,900 metres. Lebanon is thus one of the few winter sports centres in the Middle East. The coastline between Tripoli and Sidon is punctuated by all kinds of leisure facilities from well equipped hotels in Lebanon and swim resorts and family run fish restaurants to luxurious condominiums. All of this means there is an abundance of exciting things you can see and do during your trip.
The city of Tyre, founded during the early third millennium BC, is located in Lebanon. The New Testament of the Bible holds many references to this city. Tyre also houses some of the best examples of ancient architecture. In 1979, UNESCO declared Tyre as a World Heritage Site.
Despite the strife-ridden events of the recent past, the Central District of Beirut best reflects the progressive spirit of the local population, with office buildings and modern structures lining the block. Contrastingly, Old Beirut paints a conservative picture with its old covered marketplaces (souks), which are being renovated using authentic methods. The ancient Turkish style bath located at Al-Nouzha reveals another facet of the past. The National Museum of Beirut is busy adding artefacts to its already intriguing collection. For a refreshing change, visit Raouche on the west coast of Beirut. Stroll along the coast, take a look at the Pigeon Rocks out at sea and enjoy the charm of Tripoli, with its predominantly Arabian influence.
At the base of the Crusader citadel in Tripoli, you could have a look at many of the old mosques - the Taynal, Al-Qartâwiyat Madrassa, Al-Muallaq Burtasiyat Madrassa, and the Great Mosque, all located in the medieval centre of the city. Make sure you visit the Island of Palm Trees, off the coast of Tripoli. This island is a UNESCO nature reserve, housing many species of rare birds and green turtles.
Travel back in time to experience the glory of the Roman, Phoenician, Canaanite, Crusader and Hellenistic eras. Byblos, known as the most ancient town on earth, is a delight for historians, with excavation sites yielding artefacts from the Neolithic to Crusader times. Enjoy a boat ride at the harbour. You could also visit the sea castle at Sidon, which is a small port. This stone structure was built from the remnants of Roman architecture in the region.
Your visit to Lebanon is not complete without a trip to Baalbek, situated close to the border with Syria, where temples from the Roman era still stand high and intact. The magnificent Temple of Jupiter with its towering columns forms the backdrop of this temple complex.
Use your holiday to Lebanon to experience other beautiful destinations in the region such as Dubai , Ski Dubai and Jordan. The Lebanese are a multi-faith, multi-ethnic people. Arabic is the official language, but English and French are also widely spoken. The two main religions are Islam and Christianity. The Lebanese are known the world over to be vibrant, spirited, well-meaning and truly hospitable people - something any visitor would love to experience.

1) I have a recurring event scheduled for the 1st Wednesday of the month beginning at 6:30. For some reason, in March the event not only replicated itself in the correct spot of Wednesday March 7th, but also on Thursday March 1st. I have checked and the event on 3/1 is not a different event, it refers to the same recurring event. So far, I don't see this happening on any other month.
2) For some reason, mulit-day events are only showing themselves on the first day of the event and not on any of the other days. This is very confusing when an event starts Friday at 6:00 and goes through Sunday at noon and you only see it on Friday.

The cancel-renewal form was mailed back to Popular Mechanics subscription service in July 2012.
As of November 2012, I am still receiving magazines from Hearst Corp. (Popular Mechanics).
In researching the internet it revealed that my experience is not alone and that Hearst Corp. does abusive subscription practices with other magazine concerning ladies interest as well.
I contend that Hearst magazine subscriptions service tries to goat subscribers into continuing with their subscription or running the subscriptions for additional months and waiting for the customer to complain again and then attempting to charge the customer for the additional magazines delivered but were never ordered.
In my opinion, Hearst feels either way its a "WIN-WIN" for them using an automatic renewal system and disregarding the customers request for cancellation of subscription services.

Just talk
NokiaSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 27th of February 2014 10:35:33 AM Filed under
It is now the talk of the town. Nokia will be making their own smartphone based on Android. It seems like they no longer want to be in the shadow, under Windows Phone. I would like to think this might be the comeback of Nokia phones after a decade or so. I liked Nokia as a gadget way before this so-called "smart phones" trend started. I remember when SMS became the most convenient tool for communication, like a telegraph type. Nokia phones were once a gadgets giant; only then, when Microsoft bought Nokia, the once cellphone giant was kept and never to be found. I mean, not literally, but I can hardly see Nokia out in the Market along with those cellphone giants like Mac/iOS , Blueberry and Samsung. Nokia's merging into Microsoft has never been good; their tandem strategy never created any new innovation that makes them different from the other competitors. In fact, there were no success stories for Nokia when it was based on Windows Phone.
I expect Nokia to have lots to offer in the next expo. Improvements in software using Android OS, distinct design in hardware which can compete in comparables among the others. The price might be a little less than the existing smartphones to attract potential costumers. Lastly, I wish Nokia well for bravely taking such a huge change. In this road it has many challenges, but it's worth taking.

My ValentineSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Saturday 15th of February 2014 03:58:36 PM Filed under
Yesterday was a rainy day. Our plans to go dining and bowling were more or less ruined by that. Manchester has had stormy weather as of late and there is not much one can do to avoid it.
Almost every couple went out to celebrate valentines. In my case, as I am working regular hours at day (and sometimes at night), I don't have much time for planning or thinking of ways to celebrate valentines day.
My dear husband, who had a day off yesterday (after he had worked at night), surprised me in many ways. He prepared a bubble bath for me with glasses of wine and candles lit. Pizza was inside the oven and table setting was quite ready, with many special beverages to mark the special day.
Everything was organised and prepared by him. While we were having our dinner we watched Tom and Jerry (a favourite from my childhood) and we were both enjoying it. Later he wanted to prepare the new mattress he bought to make sure we would have a good night's sleep.
Our own way of celebrating valentines -- so simple but passionately expressed with pure love and tenderness.

JusticeSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 6th of February 2014 11:40:57 PM Filed under
I was born in a quiet and beautiful town in the Far East together with my cousins. As far as I can remember, we enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset, bathing and fishing in the river along with other children. My childhood years bring back good memories: Playing hide and seek, flying kites, throwing yo-yo, jumping on Chinese garter and so much more. Life was full of fun and so simple back then. There were times I ate meals in our neighbours' house, treated like family. Sometimes we exchanged food. This you will never experience in an highly urbanised city, as there is nothing like this in the Western world. It's a small town where you almost know every other person. Everybody is like your family. That is how I remember the place that I left 24 years ago. This year my husband and I were planning to visit my beloved town. But I have second thoughts. It's a bit scary to visit a place where people are killing other people like animals.
Windows 8.1 "The Worst Ever"Submitted by gfranken on Tuesday 19th of November 2013 10:58:39 PM Filed under
I've taught High School Computer Science for 25 years--Computer Programming, Web Page Design, Word Processing, Database Processing, and Spreadsheet processing. I have Linux on all my home computers with a dual boot into MS Windows 7 on my main computer. I don't use Windows 7 very often--but, I can find my way around in Windows 7. Since I have no experience with Win 8, I've thought all the recent hoopla about Microsoft's Windows 8 and 8.1 was just inexperienced grousing.

While I know this is a Linux site, i feel that Windows RT is getting the same bad rap Linux gets from the Tech press in many areas. A lack of true understanding of just what they are dealing with or just a huge need to present some form of being part of the crowd. I'm not sure just what it is however it needs to change. It's the same thing that happens when some people review Ubuntu PHone for example and claim it's not a viable platform.. and it annoys me..

The EE Nokia Lumia 920Submitted by fieldyweb on Saturday 17th of November 2012 11:11:49 PM Filed under
The UK got its first 4G network this month and the choices for 4G phones are thin on the ground at the moment the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3 were there at launch however as a long time Android and IOS user i'm finding both operating systems at that stage of their life when they ar about features not innovation. This may well change in the future however, and you must understand these words are hard for me to say, Microsoft seem to be innovating quite a bit in the OS market, pushing the boat out and taking some risks.
My phone of choice on EE is the Nokia Lumia 920, Nokias last bi breath attempt at staying alive as a company it would seem however this is a phone developed for Windows Phone 8 in Microsoft. It is the phone Microsoft were happy to share the stage with at launch and it's got generally good reviews.
Lets start this with the two important things the phone and the 4G..

The SEC Spring meetings began today in Destin, Florida, and football scheduling is once again at the forefront of the discussion.
With the 8-game football schedule format and the future cross-division rotating games already announced, you would think there wouldn't be any scheduling issues to discuss. But evidently there is.
Florida head coach Will Muschamp said today that the Gators will "move forward" without playing any more FCS schools.
Will Muschamp said Florida would "move forward" w/out playing any more FCS opponents
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) May 27, 2014
Muschamp's reasoning for discontinuing games against FCS schools is that "the fan base wants to see better opponents." That's a good reason, and it's certainly just a coincidence with the timing.
Last season, then FCS Georgia Southern went into The Swamp and upset the Gators 26-20. It was Florida's first-ever loss to a lower division opponent.
Georgia Southern is moving up to the FBS and will officially join the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2014.
Florida is currently scheduled to host Eastern Kentucky this season on Nov. 22. But that is the last FCS team on Florida's future football schedules.
It would be interesting to see some kind of assessment of how a FCS team impacts the SOS calculation vs how an average G5 school would impact it.
In the old BCS format many FCS teams were ranked above many G5 schools. Georgia Southern, Eastern Washington and North Dakota St for example often finished the season ranked in the top 100 of D1.
Well, Georgia Southern did beat Florida (really?) as a FCS school. Maybe Florida should put them on their future schedules, alongside with Miami (FL) and Florida State.
Yeah, Ga. Southern was a fine choice for that "scrimmage" before playing the 'Noles……maybe instead try Charls. Southern or Presbyterian.
Let's see Florida play a non conference game on the road outside the State of Florida. W
ould they go to Green Bay to play Wisconsin?
Wisconsin is complete and utter garbage. You will grow a brain before they win anything that matters
The Red Sea has evidently parted. Just make sure to schedule some home and aways outside of the state of florida (no neutral fields) because why should a power program be scared to play anybody. 1 Mac & 1 Sun Belt, Florida State (home/away) & Power 5 (away/home). Maybe send a challenge to Notre Dame and see if they have the balls to play in the Swamp. That would be amazing for college football. Make it happen.
I respect the Gators for this decision. I am a lifelong Tennessee fan and i feel, if Florida can schedule year in year out without FCS teams, the Vols and every other SEC team could do so as well.
Way to go Florida for stepping up and doing the right thing!
Good news for FANS.
WOO HOO more SUNBELT schools on the SEC schedules!!!!!
Did you really say "since moving up to Division I in 1973"? Really?
maybe they can play a road game outside of the state not at miami or fla st
Yeah heaven forbid uf should play home and home against state schools that have a combined 8 titles since 1981. Another Internet retard weighs in.
Why has the part of this story about, Georgia, LSU, SC, Ole Miss etc planning to continue to schedule FCS been deleted? Les Miles, Mark Richt etc are all in favor of scheduling FCS teams which I applaud!! Share the wealth.
Let's be honest, this was the real reason Muschamp was fired. The SEC only wants weak out of conference games. Muschamp's record had nothing to do with it.

We hope you were able to attend our special program featuring renowned author and physical activity specialist, Rae Pica, on October 14. Whether or not you were there, now it's time to put her suggestions into play. Literally!
Rae Pica shared with us how parents, families, teachers, caregivers and childcare providers can help our kids be ready to read by understanding the relationship between physical activity and the brain, the value of play, and how to use movement, play and active learning to nurture a child's ability to learn to read and think.
To keep things moving, we're hosting Movin' & Groovin' Fests in the coming weeks. Learn how to make fun movement/play objects from everyday materials. It's a wonderful way to help you baby, toddler and preschool get ready to read.
Bring the kids and join the fun at one of our Movin' & Groovin' Fests. You'll realize why Rae Pica believes, that children "...don't exist only from the neck up. They are thinking, feeling, moving human beings who learn through all their senses."
Unless otherwise noted, Fests are held from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

But Alzheimer's is not just a disease of old age. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early onset Alzheimer's (also known as younger-onset), which often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s. If you or someone you know is affected by Alzheimer's disease or dementia, come learn the facts. Presented by the Alzheimer's Association, this program provides information on detection, risk factors, stages of the disease, treatments and more. This free class requires registration.

How do environments talk to genes?
Published: 10 Jan 2013
A report elucidates the widely recognized, but poorly understood, concept of gene-environment interaction, finding a molecular mechanism in the case of post-traumatic stress disorder: demethylation of a glucocorticoid response element in the stress response regulator FKBP5 that depends on both the risk allele and childhood trauma.

the blue horizon beyond
Photographed in Atlantic City recently.
It's a new year. New year or no, I'm still in deep hibernation mode—winters always seem to pull me thus. In brief:
~ I am three scenes away from completing the latest draft of the Next Novel.
~ The first two-thirds of it went out to my trusted beloved beta readers.
~ To help finalize the final third, I went on a short writer's retreat to Atlantic City. Why Atlantic City? Because it's close enough to Brooklyn, the hotels are reasonably priced, there's water for inspiration, and I hate gambling. Ergo, perfect for holing up in a room with a manuscript.
~ My post-surgery foot is much better. I can now walk up to about two miles without discomfort.
~ There's more going on regarding a long aborning project. It's driving me crazy that I can't say anything officially yet. Soon!
(And back I go into my creative cave.)

Fischer: Sea World Death Due To West's Failure to Follow Scripture
Sometimes I wonder if the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer ultimate goal is just to make his organization look foolish by writing pieces like this one claiming that the death of a trainer at Sea World yesterday was the result of a failure to abide by Biblical mandates.
Fischer cites this article noting that the whale in question was considered particularly dangerous and had a history of violent incidents to claim that the death can be chalked up to "animal rights insanity and to the ongoing failure of the West to take counsel on practical matters from the Scripture:
What about the term "killer whale" do SeaWorld officials not understand?
If the counsel of the Judeo-Christian tradition had been followed, Tillikum would have been put out of everyone's misery back in 1991 and would not have had the opportunity to claim two more human lives.
Says the ancient civil code of Israel, "When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable." (Exodus 21:28)
So, your animal kills somebody, your moral responsibility is to put that animal to death. You have no moral culpability in the death, because you didn't know the animal was going to go postal on somebody.
But, the Scripture soberly warns, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn't kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal. To use the example from Exodus, if your ox kills a second time, "the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death." (Exodus 21:29)
If I were the family of Dawn Brancheau, I'd sue the pants off SeaWorld for allowing this killer whale to kill again after they were well aware of its violent history.
If Fischer thinks we ought to be following Scripture here, then why isn't he calling for Sea World's owners to be put to death instead of merely sued? After all, he's the one who cites Exodus 21:29 which mandate a death sentence for the animal's owners.

Hey guys, I've recently just started using WordPress and am running into an issue.
I'd like to remove my sidebar completely or use the full-width template of the theme I'm using on my posts. The problem is I can only seem to find the full-width option on pages, not posts. Hopefully I'm making sense here and someone can help me out.
Here's the site http://www.simpollines.com and the theme I'm using is Tetris from WPExplorer.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Failed miserably for me but it was still fun trying.
Duck hunt has never been better.
Are you guys planning on building more retail locations? Personally I think that you should because without Radioshack the world will soon plummet into darkness like Star Trek. :)
Why would you discontinue this?
Which may or may not function.
A development board.
Touch sensor was a huge sucsess!
What version of the Wiring Board is this?
Does it come with the enclosure or do I need to buy that separately because it has pictures of it without the case and with labels on the PCB and I want to be sure of what I am buying.
No public wish lists :(

By BETH FOUHY
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Barack Obama is well-known for his ability to draw a large crowd. But 75,000? In Portland, Ore.? What gives?
The sea of people who converged by foot and boat in a park on the Willamette River Sunday was the largest rally for the Democratic presidential hopeful. Organizers credited the sunny spring day and enthusiasm for Obama in the well-educated, largely liberal city as key factors helping drive turnout.
Even so, the kind of eye-popping crowds Obama draws aren't ever left to chance. His campaign, already praised for its attention to the mechanics of grass-roots organizing, has taken the art of crowd building to an unprecedented level - using networking tools and old-fashioned word of mouth to draw an audience, which then helps expand the campaign's fundraising and organizational efforts.
"Rallies are very helpful for three major reasons: to provide momentum, allow a large number of people to be exposed to Barack, and create an organizational mechanism to win the election," deputy campaign manager Steve Hildebrand said. He noted that they are usually put together with a specific purpose in mind, like a voter registration drive or an effort to get people to vote early in the states that allowed it.
To be sure, Obama strategists know all to well that big crowds don't always guarantee electoral success: He was thumped by Clinton in Pennsylvania's April 22 primary just days after he addressed a 35,0000-person rally in Philadelphia. He also lost the March 4 Texas primary after staging a series of arena-sized gatherings across that state.
Those losses and other concerns about how Obama was connecting with individual voters forced his campaign to stage smaller events in his schedule. They include "town hall" meetings in more intimate venues, to allow voters to question the Illinois senator and talk about issues. He's also participated in a series of economic roundtables where he sits with a small group of voters to speak with them one-on-one.
"Barack has been very instructive to us to say, 'Big rallies are great but it gives me no opportunity to hear from people in these states. Make sure I have a wide variety of options,"' Hildebrand said.
Still, arena-sized rallies continue to be Obama's coin of the realm - often dwarfing rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign events, even though her crowds are typically far larger than most politicians ever enjoy. And Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain has rarely seen an audience more than a fraction of the size of Obama's.
From the beginning, Obama organizers have built upon the campaign's sophisticated Internet presence and broad grass-roots fundraising network to help build its crowds.
After a city and venue are chosen for a rally, the campaign immediately sends an e-mail to its supporters in the area inviting them to attend. Organizers also engage social networking Web sites like Facebook and YouTube, as well as the campaign's own networking site, mybarackobama.com, to allow supporters to blog and alert friends and collages about the event.
The campaign also relies on more traditional methods to persuade people to attend events, such as radio ads and robocalls.
Organizers host public meetings where they ask supporters to carry out certain tasks, such as distributing flyers on college campuses or staffing phone banks. They also engage local TV and print reporters, who have taken an uncommonly high interest in the historic Democratic nominating contest.
Josh Earnest, who served as Obama's communications director in Iowa and Texas, recalled how the campaign had just 48 hours to draw attendees to a rally outside the Texas state capitol in Austin in February.
"Texas was a challenge because we didn't have much of an organizational structure in place," Earnest said, noting the campaign had relied on its volunteer base and "earned media" - shorthand for news coverage - to help publicize the event on short notice.
Among other things, Earnest said the campaign invited local TV morning shows to carry a live broadcast of the street in front of the capitol being closed off to traffic and the event stage being assembled.
In the end, some 20,000 people came out for the Austin rally.
Earnest is now helping to organize a major rally in Tampa, Fla., where Obama will be campaigning Wednesday. It will be held at the St. Pete Times Forum, which holds about 20,000 people.
After the rallies, the campaign captures as much information as they can about each attendee, including e-mail addresses, phone numbers and other data, to expand its supporter base. They are then invited to upcoming events and solicited for donations.
The system ran at peak efficiency early in the campaign, when some 67,000 people attended rallies with Obama and Oprah Winfrey in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The events were free, but everyone who showed up had to fill out a ticket stub with information on how the campaign could contact them.

I immediately checked my bank account, which indeed show a charge for the $7.95 s/h fee. Fearing more activity to my account by this company, I called my bank, and had my debit card number cancelled (which, fortunately, did not cancel my account). Thanks to your site, I sustained few damages, just a $7.95 lesson on internet fraud. I certainly feel like one of the lucky ones. Please catch these people to save more smart, yet occasionally foolish, people like myself!

I asked the Mgr who you are bidding for first he told me for Albertson ( should be totally illegal since they are auctioning goods) then he changed story & told me that he is bidding for other people & they don't have to disclose it.Now they next ripoff is they will sell you something and if you get it cheap for like $1 or $5 and if you don't pick it up they will bill you or charge you on your credit card for hundreds of dollars.
I didn't even bid on wooden storage shed & got charge $5. So I figured it was only $5 forget about it. Guess what I got call very nasty & threatening call from their employee that it's last day & if I don't come & brake down this shed they will charge me $500 for $5 purchase. They did try to charge me $400 but I fought back. I bought 4 cords for $1 directly connected to live electricity. When I drove more than 25 miles to pick up my stuff I was told by their employee that he can't shut off electric because other people are doing work I will have to come back.
I din't get a chance to go back so I figured what the heck it's was only $1 a piece. Guess what after 2 months when I went back to another auction They told me they had to hire electrician to remove those $1 cord x 4 & I have a charge of $400 on my account. AGAIN BUYER BE CAREFUL I HEARD THAT FROM OTHER PEOPLE TOO BEFORE YOU BID ON SOMETHING& THINK GOT A DEAL FOR $1 Or $2 MAY END UP COSTING YOU HUNDEDS OF $$$$.

Welcome to La Galerie Nationale
La Galerie Nationale is a gallery specialized in Original Art furniture made by top designers representing the 20th century. The twentieth century, one of the most prolific periods in design, the birthplace of generations of extraordinary designers handling all the Art forms, mastering new material while still managing the feat of making them useful and usable. Few of these original items still exist. La Galerie Nationale is promoting these outstanding designers and offers these exceptional objects to collectors. With twenty years of experience in France and Europe, the gallery has a representative gallery in Dubai at Alserkal Avenue.
New Exhibition: Face to Face
'Face to Face' is a group show exhibition showing five international artists artwork: Fred Kleinberg, Philippe Pasqua, Pierre-Marie Lejeune, Katia Traboulsi, Arnaud Rivieren and Anno.
With this exhibition, the gallery offers a particular vision on a series of paintings and objects where visitor's eye is captured at two levels. First, an approach with a humanistic interrogative perception portraits serie realized by artists of a sudden sensitivity. These looks are an invitation to personal reflection, sometimes disturbing for the visitor, in a pure aesthetic, light but strong. The integration of objects in the exhibition fosters a kind of culmination of this interrogative mind towards a more collaborative approach with a desire to exchange and friendly reunions. The work mirror allows the visitor to make him even part of this series of portraits as a kind of initiatory journey on the inside of either-even.
