Bible Study Argues That April Fool's Day Leads To Heresy
In a lesson called "April Fool's Day: the heretics birthday," the program encourages people young and old to disdain foolishness, and participate in holiday revelry at their own peril. In particular, tomfoolery can lead to embracing ancient heresies, it says.
"Scripture is clear," says Dr. Neil Olstad, co-owner of the website with his wife, Marcy Olstad. "'He who trusts in his own heart is a fool...' (Proverbs 28:26). Then again, 'For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God' (1 Cor 3:19). And then, 'A fool has no delight in understanding, but in expressing his own heart' (Proverbs 18:2). Foolishness is just plain evil," he said.
Marcy admitted that they trod a hard road in coming to this extreme point of view. "When we were first married, we used to play pranks on each other, especially around what we now call 'the heretics birthday.' Then one day I strung what was left of a box of Corn Chex together on a clear piece of plastic filament, and Neil was so famished that morning, he poured it into a big bowl, doused it with milk, and scarfed it down. We spent many hours afterward in the ER and it required an intestinal operation. Worst of all, we developed such an abhorrence to suffering that we became docetists, thinking that Christ only seemed to suffer on the cross. One foolish prank put us within a wisp of death and damnation. We needed to repent and tell others the bad news that is April Fool's Day," said Marcy.
"I still can't eat Chex party mix," said Neil, tearing up. "Why can't we have an 'April Wisdom's Day,' huh? Why must we endure this culture of death?" And he wept bitterly.
Local diocesan authorities could not be reached for comment.

The thing is, I thought it was real until I saw the small print. Not because I'm gullible, but because I know such Protestant people who would do such things...

As for me I will become a fool for the Lord. But that's just me.
I would hate to have to lean on my own wisdom, I would be sunk for sure.
- LarryD said...
IC, I think you might have worked yourself into a theological quandary here. You stated that April Fool's Day jokes lead to heresy, which is of course a joke, stated on April Fool's Day no less, so it's possible you could be on the slippery slope leading to heresy.
Oh the irony of it all!
I will pray for you!
- Allen said...
Well... It's my birthday, so I celebrate it, regardless of being labeled a hairy tick. Everyone is invited to watch me burn at the stake later this evening. There'll be cake.
- The Ironic Catholic said...
Irenaeus, I know Catholic people who would do such things!
Allen, Happy Birthday!
Angelmeg, you and St Francis. You're both righteous fools, though.
larryd, I need all the prayers I can get.

Blu-ray Compliance Comes to x264
The x264 main developer from the VideoLAN open source project has announced that the x264 free H.264 encoder can now also create Blu-ray-quality video.
Jason Garrett-Glaser (a.k.a. Dark Shikari) is particularly proud of the new x264 Blu-ray compliance.
From his blog: "Today we take the first step towards a free software Blu-ray creation toolkit. Thanks to tireless work by Kieran Kunyha, Alex Giladi, Lamont Alston, and the Doom9 crowd, x264 can now produce Blu-ray-compliant video. Extra special thanks to The Criterion Collection for sponsoring the final compliance test to confirm x264's Blu-ray compliance."
The commit in the respective x264 repository includes a sample command for the Blu-ray compliance. The command is "more complicated than usual" because of the restrictions of the Blu-ray specification. Garrett-Glaser adds that Blu-ray disk creation is still missing the new free HD video decoder, the currently available AC3 decoder for audio, and the corresponding graphical software. "The primary missing application," he says, "is a free software Blu-ray authoring tool, to combine the video and audio streams to create a Blu-ray file structure with the menus, chapters, and so forth that we have all come to expect."
Further advice for burning and playing Blu-ray videos are in the California student's blog. To celebrate the day, the x264 project is featuring the two Open Movie Project films "Big Buck Bunny" and "Elephant's Dream" under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported licensing (see the available torrent file).

The Three Stooges
The gentle green glow of several computers lit up their faces. Several of them had pictures of the students who had been taken sick, a few others had the records of other students and a few had pictures of Megan Fox in several gratifying poses. Jim and Angie paused for a while, before each took a separate terminal and started typing away at their respective keyboards.
After roughly eight minutes of furious typing, Angie turned to Jim and found him drooling on his keyboard. Clearly, he had had a sleepless night. She crept over to him and gently slapped him with her keyboard.
"Hey! Hey Jim! WAKE UP! We've got work to do."
Jim woke up with a start on the third keyboard slap, asking, "Where's the DEA officer? I'm clean, boss. Oh, it's you." The last bit he said in a tone that might have been irritation if it hadn't been covered in drool. He took another disoriented look around their command center, and finally rested his eyes on his partner in crime.
"So, any luck, Angie?"
"Well, we know someone's been peddling the stuff illegally. We also know they work the graveyard shift. That's why the users only get sick at three in the morning. Oh, and most importantly, it's very low-grade powder."
Jim looked at Angie, completely blank, then managed a burp.
Angie sighed and continued to speak.
"It's rotten stuff, so bad the kids can OD on just smack packs. I cross-referenced the data we have on the students with Wikipedia, and I've come up with a few possible suspects. Have a look."
Angie turned to one of the computers and clicked a few times. The pictures of three students and their bio-data came up on the screen. She pointed at them and said, "Our three suspects."
Jim looked grim, as he said, "Let's call them the Three Stooges."

America's Kitschiest Roadside Attractions Of The Day
MITCHELL CORN PALACE (Mitchell, SD)
Established in 1892 and existing at its current location since 1921, this showstopper—the only building of its kind—celebrates the harvest of king corn. The building exterior is redecorated annually with 275,000 ears of colored corn, other grains, and grasses.
VENT HAVEN MUSEUM (Fort Mitchell, KY)
All eyes are on you at the world's only ventriloquist ("vent" for short) museum, home to more than 750 googly-eyed dummies. Figures are as varied as Miss Piggy and a carved head that a POW performed with to earn extra food. Open by appointment only, May through September, so plan ahead.
WALL DRUG STORE (Wall, SD)
This Western-themed mall/amusement park near Mount Rushmore and the Badlands has signs posted throughout the world that count down the remaining miles to go; there's even a sign for Wall Drug posted in Antarctica (for the record, only about 9,300 miles away). Wall Drug started as a humble pharmacy that doled out free ice water to weary travelers. Today, 2.2 million people a year pull over to see the animatronic T. rex, piano-playing gorilla, a giant jackalope statue and more.
SOUTH OF THE BORDER (Dillon, SC)
If the Three Amigos had their own theme park, it might resemble South of the Border. With roughly 175 highway billboards (one promises, "You're always a weiner [sic] at Pedro's!") and a 97-foot marquee of mascot Pedro at the entrance, SOB is impossible to miss. Fourteen gift shops carry schlock like a Fabio cardboard cutout and enough fireworks to blow the world over.
VILLISCA AX MURDER HOUSE (Villisca, IA)
Shortly after midnight on June 10, 1912, a vicious murderer bludgeoned Josiah Moore's family of six and two guests as they slept. The crime remains unsolved, but visitors say the house is trying to communicate, if you dare venture inside. Tours have been cut short by flying objects and eerie children's voices.
PRECIOUS MOMENTS PARK (Carthage, MO)
Sam Butcher, the artist who created the doe-eyed Precious Moments figurines, opened this church in 1989. Nearly 5,000 square feet of Butcher's hand-painted murals show the Precious Moments characters in scenes from Noah's Ark and The Second Coming. The Hallelujah Square painting is based on real children who died young and are making their way into heaven.
COCKROACH HALL OF FAME MUSEUM (Plano, TX)
Since the late 1980s, Michael Bohdan has run The Pest Shop, Inc, a pest control company that also operates the free Cockroach Hall of Fame Museum in a Plano, Texas, strip mall. Visitors can gawk at display after display of dead cockroaches dressed up like celebrities, for instance, "Liberoachi" and "Marilyn Monroach."
WEEKI WACHEE SPRINGS (Spring Hill, FL)
A throwback to the 1950s, Weeki Wachee Springs still puts on its famous, campy mermaid shows performed underwater by swimmers in elaborate costumes. There's an old-school charm to the park, where you can take a river cruise (look out for manatees and turtles), go diving or just hang out at the tiki bar.
FOAMHENGE (Natural Bridge, VA)
It started, naturally, as an April Fool's joke in 2004. But local artist Mark Cline's Foamhenge has staying power. It's an exact replica of the England's ancient man-made wonder—even the pieces are arranged in their astronomically correct positions. Snap some photos and play your own April Fool's joke trying to pass it off as the real thing.
THE OREGON VORTEX (Gold Hill, OR)
Natural wonder, elaborate hoax, or paranormal zone? At the Oregon Vortex, it's up to visitors to decide. For $9.75, you get to experience the Vortex's "spherical field of force," which results in a world in which brooms supposedly stand up by themselves and two people can become a different height just by switching places.
See the rest here, including a hot-dog bun museum, the world's largest ball of twine, an ice-cream flavor graveyard and more.

I don't think I want to visit the ventriloquist dummy museum. That would be too creepy with all those eyes watching you. I don't need to see the dead cockroach museum either--ack! Who thought that would be a good idea? I'm trying to imagine someone making a successful business out of that!ReplyDelete
I can't decide what is more creepy: Vent Haven or Precious Moments Park. Equally terrifying. My in-laws gave my son (yes! son!) a Precious Moments figurine for his first communion. It "accidentally" broke two days later... whoopsie.ReplyDelete
I've actually talked with a friend about going to stay at the axe murder house in IA! It's on my list of places to go.ReplyDelete
Don't Melissa! Lizzy Borden is probably going to be there, too!ReplyDelete
When your aunt comes back from the Mitchell Corn Palace with a game called Corn hole, wait until she's out of the room to begin the inappropriate laughter.ReplyDelete
My family went to Weeki Wachee Springs when I was about 10. After returning home I spent countless hours in the pool trying to perfect my mermaid routine. It was campy, cheesy, and fabulous.ReplyDelete
I live about a mile from the cockroach museum. I'd like to say that it is a big attraction but I'd be lying. It's actually just a display case in the front of a guy's shop who sells tools for exterminating.ReplyDelete
In his defense, he was on the Johnny Carson show and is quite a character. If you want to know about how to kill critters, he's your guy.

>> And on the surface green shoots are being shot everywhere.
I live near a small town with a now 1/3 occupied industrial park as several auto suppliers bellied up and as I write one more idles next week. Another 130 insignificant jobs lost I suppose as Wall St doesn't care.
You could take your pick of five pizza places and now you can pick from two. Three places to sit down and just drink coffee and now there is one. Four decent eateries and now there are two. Three places to rent and buy videos and games and now only one in a grocery store. You need your car fixed? Oil changed? You must drive 20 miles since both garages bit the dust.
We had six landscaping companies in and around here and now just a few souls with mowers that might sell mulch too. The others died and sold their equipment, auctioned their nursery stock last fall.
Our area of the Interstate highway at noon on a weekday now looks like Sunday morning at 7 am used to. Boat dealerships gone, RV's are like what's that? Both hit the skids in 2007. Truck traffic extremely low. No worries of getting caught at RR crossings either, less trains by 70%.
Empty buildings growing, foreclosures and bankruptcy ramping up, jobs scarce as hen's teeth, thefts on the rise, broken promises-broken dreams and folks are excited about stocks.... gimmie a break. The landscape in the real world is littered with corpses without let up.
This is sad, this is tragic and this is what America is becoming step by step and most of us see no end to it. The losses are beyond the official numbers you can be sure. I've lost nothing material myself yet it hurts me like bloody hell to see my country struggle so.

The word love has many different meanings in English, from something that gives a little pleasure to something one would die for (ideals, family). It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love (love between human beings).

SUV safety: do you own a SUV? Then read these important driving safety tips.
SUVs weigh more than traditional passenger vehicles. Often that gives you a false sense of security -- you begin to feel invincible with all that metal around you.
Due to their high center of gravity, SUVs require different driving techniques than cars, such as more braking distance, smooth steering wheel motion and slower cornering speeds. Becoming a smoother driver will help maintain vehicle control, especially in wet and slippery conditions. It's often an over-reaction to an emergency, such as a tire blowout that spells disaster.
For that reason, it is important that you check your tire pressure every week. Advance Auto Parts carries several styles of tire pressure gauges to help you maintain a safe vehicle. Plus, we carry a large selection of quality auto parts for your SUV maintenance jobs.
Why you should develop special SUV driving skills and understand your SUV safety features:
Due to their growing popularity, SUVs have replaced the family sedan and mini-van as the primary source of family transportation. While they seem perfect for the task, safety has become a big question.
Rollover crashes account for a large number of fatalities, many of which are preventable. Statistics show that 72% of the occupants of SUVs who die in rollover crashes are not wearing safety belts. Also, SUVs have different handling characteristics than cars and demand special driving techniques. That's why it's critical to become familiar with the SUV safety features included in your vehicle.
SUV safety is a must. Use these driving safety tips to help keep your vehicle under control.
One of the biggest causes of SUV rollovers is a flat tire caused by under-inflation, and the SUV's high center of gravity. Check your tire pressure weekly. Also, follow these driving safety tips:
For greater SUV safety, come to Advance Auto Parts for the quality auto parts needed to keep your vehicle in top shape.

Since you've all been so supportive, I thought I might recap the interview
for you. It seemed to go well, and the work as they described it didn't
seem too hard. They thought U of Guelph was in California. They are
strong, their background is in, trees and shrubs. And they indicated
difficulties with perennials. Ah! my opening! I'm stronger in that,
dazzled them with a few tips and techniques and successful examples. I
asked him if this was a growth area for them and they indicated it was, that
people were always asking for more. Even though that is not really what
they were hiring for, I gently explained the marketing aspects of perennials
and I was hoping they might consider my value for expansion down the road.
Well, whether they hire me or not, I came away feeling good about the
interview. Thanks for your support, folks!

I went to Dr. Eastment in high school (I am now in graduate school) and she was great. I never felt intimidated or patronized and she always paid attention to what I had to say. This was especially comforting when I went from very healthy to having several problems in a row all in one year. Thanks Dr. Eastment!
Excellent, caring, no-nonsense practitioner with a great approach to kids. I highly recommend her.

Using old flash memory as a backup medium
USB Fiddle Stickery
USB sticks and SD cards quickly lose their value, but if a script distributes the data across several such devices, flash memory is still useful as a fast and shockproof backup medium despite limited capacity.
It seems that USB sticks and SD cards also follow Moore's Law, in that the storage capacity they offer doubles each year. A 64GB stick now costs US$ 40, and an 8GB stick, which used to be the market leader just a few years ago, has lost almost all its value and ends up in a drawer. At the other end of the product spectrum, prices rise disproportionately: Whereas a 128GB stick costs about US$ 80, one with twice the capacity, 256GB, is about four times the price.
Combining multiple storage media would achieve acceptable storage capacity at a low price, and, if you are looking for a software solution that combines multiple storage modules to create an array, something like Linux Volume Manager (LVM) springs to mind. It elegantly welds together your hardware to create software partitions, which – at application level – feel exactly like hardware solutions cast in metal and plastic (Figure 1).

Ch 13
When we were in a room up some stairs I hadn't noticed in a corner of the shop, I asked, "Is he often like that?"
Lily nodded, looking grim. "He's really used to getting his own way. I'm sure you can imagine how intimidating he is."
"Yes. Even without the dark aura, I have to say he is slightly scary. There's menace in one of his cold looks alone."
"When you've quite finished talking behind my back, could you get on with choosing the dress?" Timothy called up the stairs. He sounded annoyed.
I gulped. "Oops."
Lily winced. "He gets so mad so quickly! Anyway, let's get your dress sorted."
I looked around the room. There were clothes rails with all assortments of brightly coloured clothing. Each rail was labelled with laminated A4 posters reading Earth, Air, Nature, Fire and Water respectively. On the Earth rail, there were long brown skirts and dresses made of heavy materials with few decorations. On the Air rail were light skirts and dresses of varying lengths in light blues and white. The colours reminded me of fluffy clouds and skies. There were lots of pretty frills on these dresses. On the Nature rail were long dresses which were more varied in colours than the dresses on the other rail. They were grass-green, daffodil-yellow, rose-pink and lavender-purple: the kind of colours you'd see in a typical flowerbed during spring. On the Fire rail, the one I was interested in, were skirts and dresses with pleats ending in pointed edges which resembled tongues of flame in the colours naturally associated with fire. These dresses were more decorated than the others, with coloured sequins and ribbons which hung from the waistbands like uncurled proboscises. There were black dresses with red beads sewn on to form pictures of fire, long orange skirts which gradually faded until the colour was a pale yellow at the hemline and red blouses with tiny pictures painted on the buttons.
I wandered over to the Fire rail. One dress particularly caught my eye. It was a long red gown with short sleeves with grand frills.
I pulled the coat-hanger with the dress on off the rail and admired it, running the back of my hand along the soft satin. Satin was my favourite material to wear for evening events and the like, smooth and soft to the touch. It was beautiful, didn't feel too heavy and would, of course, be comfortable.
"Can I try this one on?" I murmured.
I turned to Lily. She smiled. "Sure."
She pointed to a door in the wall behind me. "The dressing room's just through there."
I tried on the dress. It was a perfect fit. I luxuriated in the feel of the material on my skin. I stepped out to show Lily.
And blushed as a startled boy who looked about 15 turned at the sound of my approach. Lily looked apologetic.
The boy whistled. He looked a bit like Lily with similar facial features and brilliant blue eyes, though his hair was medium brown rather than blond. He stood and stared. Mentally I willed him to go away but he looked transfixed.
Lily began to push him towards the stairs but he didn't appear to notice her.
"Sorry," she apologised, flushing with embarrassment. "He's my younger brother, Felix."
"Lils, you know you were always saying I should get a girlfriend..." Felix murmured quietly to her, finally seeming to acknowledge her presence and refusing to be pushed.
Lily blushed furiously. "Not her! She's Timothy's."
The boy finally stopped looking at me. He turned to face Lily, looking at her as if she'd gone mad. "Timothy Foxtail's?!"
Lily nodded fervently.
"Well, I never... Wait, isn't he a bit old for her?"
Lily looked as if she wanted the world to swallow her up. "Don't you think you're a little young for her?"
Felix looked puzzled. "Er, no. She looks my age." He turned to me. "How old are you?"
Lily cringed in shame. "Felix!! Your behaviour's outrageous!"
"Oh, shut up, Lils. Just because you grew up too fast."
"I'm 18," I told this strangely bold boy who I was starting to like.
"See?" Felix said to Lily. "I'm nearly 19! How can I be too young?"
I frowned slightly before remembering that witches looked younger than they actually were.
"Even if she weren't going out with Timothy, you wouldn't be mature enough for her! You act 15, remember?"
Felix frowned. "That's so annoying! Timothy Foxtail loves no one and then he gets the prettiest girl I've seen in my life!"
Lily rolled her eyes. "And I'm sure she's flattered. But she probably feels a bit awkward too."
Felix looked back at me. "She shouldn't be embarrassed. She looks amazing."
I nodded a thanks, though I still felt incredibly self-conscious.
Felix approached me, ignoring his sister's protests. He held out a hand and gave me a warm smile. "I'm Felix."
"Tirana," I murmured, taking his hand and shaking it.
"Oh, don't be shy," Felix said. "You look stunning."
Lily looked mortified. "Sorry," she mouthed.
I could still feel heat rising from my cheeks. Felix shook his head slightly.
"You have to have more self-confidence," he told me. "Too often, girls don't appreciate how beautiful they are. And you're so tense."
He squeezed my hand which I realised he still hadn't let go of.
"You just gotta relax and be more comfortable in yourself."
He gazed into my eyes. I really felt uncomfortable now. Something like adoration and yearning reigned there and I didn't quite have the heart to tell him he was being out of line.
"It was lovely to meet you," he murmured, sincerity saturating his tone. He lifted my hand and twisted it so my palm faced downward. He kissed it gently as if it were some precious delicate thing that could break at any second. My heart fluttered. He was so charming. I felt I might faint if this moment lasted any longer. Thankfully Lily ran towards us, wrenched my hand from his and glared at him. I looked away and the eye contact was broken. I let out a breath I hadn't realised I'd been holding.
"I hope you've prepared some explanation for Timothy as to why you kissed his rose-dove. Especially since he was already mad."
Felix didn't pay attention to the second bit. He looked shocked at the mention of the word 'rose-dove'.
"But she's so fragile and innocent..."
I barely registered this latest compliment. My thoughts were whirring. I needed to sit down. What had just happened?
Lily seemed to sense my distress. "I'll tell him off," she said to me. "The dress looks great and fits just right. Does it feel okay? Not tight anywhere?"
I could tell she was hurrying so I wouldn't have to stand here too long. She looked quite concerned. I shook my head, unable to construct a coherent response in the aftermath of the whirlwind that was my thoughts.
"Okay. You can change back into your normal clothes and then I'll wrap the dress up for you."
I smiled faintly as I walked swiftly back to the dressing room.
I heard muffled shouts through the door. I sat down for a good five minutes or so before changing. I really hoped Timothy hadn't been listening to my thoughts during that lapse in my self-control. I hadn't wanted to do anything which would betray Timothy's trust or cause me to be classed as unfaithful, but Felix had undeniably swept me off my feet. I could still see his deep, blue eyes, widened slightly, from surprise perhaps, which had filled my vision and the look of longing to reach out and stroke my cheek or something more. It didn't help that I could see him being an extremely likeable person. He sort of radiated an energy of fun and carefreeness that made me think of him as an overgrown puppy rather than a teenage witch. He was a relieving contrast to Timothy's dark aura of coldness and this would make it dangerous for me to be near him for any prolonged amounts of time.
Downstairs, Timothy looked impatient. He scowled as I descended, evidently moody enough to show his emotions even as Lily came down behind me. Felix had already disappeared when I'd emerged from the changing room. I was very glad.
"You took a long time," Timothy said to me.
"There were lots of dresses," I replied, on the defensive.
"You hate wearing yellow and you only had to look along the Fire rail," he said argumentatively.
I groaned. "Are you going to be like this every time you get slightly annoyed?"
"Are you going to take this long every time we go dress-shopping for a Phase-Change ceremony?"
I tried to hide my anger as I pulled out my purse while Lily was carefully folding the dress before placing it into a large bag.
"What are you doing?" Timothy asked.
"Paying, of course," I answered, not turning to look at him.
"Don't be stupid. I'm paying."
"There's no reason I can't. Anyway, I should think Lily doesn't want you trying to lower the price again. That's her income you're decreasing."
I handed Lily two £50 notes. "Is that enough?"
Lily smiled. "Way too much."
She fished around in her till and handed me back a quarter of what I'd paid.
Timothy looked explosive when we walked out to his car. "You're totally unreasonable, you know."
I couldn't stand it any longer. "Did you ever stop to think maybe you were too? Or are other people the only ones who can make mistakes? I'm sure we could all learn a thing or too from 'Mr Perfect' here, if only he'd be more patient with us."
Timothy kicked a tyre of his car. "You are so damn infuriating!"
"You too!"
"I hate you sometimes!"
I climbed into the car and crossed my arms. Timothy remained standing. "I wish I'd never met you!" he spat.
I looked up into that blazing fire of anger and made a big mistake with what I said next.
"You want to know why I took so long? I'll tell you why. Lily's brother saw me in the dress. And he was much more of a gentleman than you'll ever be! He greeted me with something that you probably will never understand - a kiss on the hand! He was so charming. The fact I found him so likeable is probably a sign that I wish I'd never met you either!"
There was silence. Then Timothy said, so quietly that I wondered at the amount of menace he could put into his voice, "Get out."
I opened the car door and slowly and deliberately got out, closing it behind me. I stood there, glaring at him. His expression mirrored my feelings exactly.
"Now get over here and say that last sentence again."
I walked over to him, stared up into eyes so dark they were more black than green.
"The fact I found him so likeable," I said slowly, enunciating each word, "is probably a sign that I wish I'd never met you either."
Then Timothy punched my face. Hard. I felt tears come to my eyes at the pain but tried not to cry as I tried to slap him. He grabbed my hand in midair and looked as if he were about to crush it in his fist (which I didn't doubt he could do) and then suddenly sort of fell helplessly into me. His lips were down on mine before I could blink and suddenly all of his pain was rushing to fill the newly opened space in my mind.
I told you I was no good for you, Tani.
Hot tears splashed onto my cheek, too many and flowing from the wrong place for them to be mine alone.
I could feel his anguish and grief at having punched his beloved rose-dove and his annoyance at himself for getting ridiculously angry over nothing. I was surprised by the force of his kiss. I could feel the strength of his emotions, but the way he let them control him was a strange, unimagined concept to me.
There was something new in Timothy's thoughts. A kind of hopelessness and desperation that tore at my heart.
Is he very likeable? Lily's brother? More than me? And you said charming? I'm not charming, am I, Tani? Do you wish I was charming? Am I really not good enough for my rose-dove? Oh, gosh, Tani, please tell me you love me...
'I love you,' I thought soothingly while trying to convince him he was good enough for me. 'I do love you. I could never love anyone the way I love you. I could never love anyone but you. And you are charming, in your own way. I don't care for any other charm than the kind you have to offer. It's only your charm I live for. Just forget all that stuff I said, okay? I was being stupid, I wasn't think-...'
No. I'm the one who wasn't thinking. I punched you for goodness' sake. Oh, gosh, I punched you.
He sounded as if he'd truly realised this for the first time.
He suddenly pushed me back and glanced at my cheek. He paled. "Oh no! I punched my rose-dove! I'm meant to protect you, not hurt you."
He hurriedly pulled out his sapphire. I wondered what he was doing until he muttered, almost too quickly for me to hear, "Eradicate blues, along with this bruise."
I felt a tingling sensation on the cheek where Timothy had punched me. The pain receded a little and I felt strangely content.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to influence your emotions there, but I couldn't think of anything else to rhyme with bruise that would have made sense. At least I didn't rhyme it with confuse."
I smiled. "Yes. Rather unnaturally contented than confused. And happiness never hurt anyone."
"Oh, on the subject of apologies, I'm sorry for punching you, Tani. That was really wrong of me. 1) You're a girl, 2) you're my rose-dove and 3) I love you."
I grinned at the last reason. "I'm sorry, too. It was wrong of me to slap you. 1) It's not your fault your emotions control you, 2) you're my kingfisher and 3) I don't love you," I teased.
"Why would that be a reason for slapping me to be wrong?" Timothy asked, humouring me.
"Well, I have to lead you on convincingly. It was already going to break your heart when I told you I didn't love you when I was going to end the relationship and breaking it earlier was too much pain for the present which I'm sure you'll want to draw many happy memories from in the future."
"Just admit you love me, Tani," Timothy said, rolling his eyes and leaning back in to kiss me.
'I'd have thought I didn't need too. We're obviously not using this psychic connection thing very well.'
I think you are. Picking up on the fact I have no self-restraint.
'Maybe it's 'cause you were already psychic. So used to tuning out other people's thoughts. I'm going to have to un-teach you all that stuff.'
Just make sure you don't un-teach me how to love you. That's something I need to stay alive.

The Doctor and Rose were wandering down the streets of a small town sometime in the future when a young girl of no more than twelve came running up to them.
"I know you," she told them bluntly.
The Doctor squat down in front of her, his coat flapping out around him to land in a puff of dust on the dirt road. "Is that right then?"
Rose looked at the Doctor, who was smiling with amusement. Obviously this had happened to him in the past.
Ah, right. The past. Realization dawned on her. This girl must have seen or heard of them from one of their previous trips. The hazards of hopping back and forth in time, she supposed. You never know when you'll be recognized.
"Wait right here."
The girl took off running and came back minutes later holding a slightly worn paperback book. Rose took it and began to read the summary on the back, then burst out laughing. When the Doctor asked what it was that it said she just looked at him and started laughing again.
"What?" The Doctor asked more insistently. Rose calmed herself down and began to read.
"Rose Tyler and The Doctor, intergalactic lovers-" At that she broke again, resuming her full on laughter. She handed the book off to the Doctor and began to walk away. He quickly caught up with her and she began giggling again.
"I know you find this endlessly amusing," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "but there's just one thing before we go."
"She wants your autograph."

This application claims priority under 35 USC � 119(e)(1) of provisional application number 60/072,489 filed Jan. 26, 1998.
This invention relates generally to the fabrication of semiconductor devices, and more specifically, to a trench isolation structure in an integrated circuit and its method of formation.
Semiconductors are widely used in integrated circuits for electronic applications, including radios and televisions. Such integrated circuits typically use multiple transistors fabricated in single crystal silicon. Semiconductor devices are being scaled down in dimension to increase device performance and device density.
Shallow trench isolation is a technique used to reduce isolation width while maintaining the necessary electrical isolation between adjacent active devices. Shallow trench isolation (STI) is being used with integrated circuits in the 0.25 micrometers and below range to achieve necessary performance and design rules. Current STI processes primarily use silicon oxide to fill the shallow trenches and isolate devices.
Current STI processes primarily use silicon oxide to fill the shallow trenches and isolate devices. The oxides for the STI fill are typically deposited using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques which result in oxide deposition on the trench bottom, sidewalls, and over the masking material used to define the trenches. This deposition nature results in a weak seam at the center of the trenches where the oxide from the two sides of the trenches come together. Silicon oxides are not resistant to HF(hydrogen fluoride)-containing solutions, which are heavily used in semiconductor processing (e.g., dummy gate preclean, pre-gate clean, K-contamination strip, pre-Ti deposition, clean, etc.), and the seam that forms by the deposition tends to etch at a higher rate than the bulk oxide film. The etching of the silicon oxides used for STI therefore results in the formation of voids along the weak seam that can fill with poly-Si in post processes, leading to gate to gate transistor shorting. Also, the trench fill oxide etches from the sides and top simultaneously, resulting in exposure of the trench top corner. This exposure of the trench top corner can result in the gate oxide and poly wrapping around the trench corner that can cause early channel turn-on around the edges of the transistors, which results in higher leakage current levels (double hump subthreshold characteristics). Exposure of the trench corner prior to gate oxidation may also result in gate oxide thinning at the corner, resulting in degradation of gate oxide integrity.
These problems with shallow trench formation are overcome by the present invention. The present invention is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, including the steps of providing a substrate, forming a pad oxide/silicon mask on the substrate, and patterning the pad oxide/silicon mask. Portions of the pad oxide/silicon mask and substrate are removed to form trenches in the substrate. A thermal oxide liner is then grown on the trench walls. A nitride fill is deposited over the pad oxide/silicon mask and the trenches. The present invention also is a semiconductor device comprising a substrate, where the substrate contains trenches and the trenches contain a nitride fill.
An optional sidewall nitride may be formed on the edges of the nitride trench fill following pad oxide/silicon removal, to further eliminate undercutting of nitride through liner oxide in post HF-processing.
The novel method of using a nitride fill for a trench fill material offers several advantages over the conventional oxide fill processes. The nitride fill is more resistant to HF-containing solutions. A central void is not formed during subsequent semiconductor processing steps, for example, from HF etching of the trench fill material. Also, edge voids are not formed in the nitride fill material at the top edges of the trench. This results in a much more robust STI semiconductor device that is absent manufacturing problems such as gate oxide wrapping around the trench corner, resulting in increased leakage current, or poly-Si deposition in the central voids, resulting in poly-gate strapping or shorting. The optional sidewall nitride further prevents undercutting of nitride through liner oxide in post HF processing.

FIGS. 9-11 illustrate in cross section process steps in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

A common method used for manufacturing semiconductor devices having trench isolation will be discussed first and is illustrated in FIGS. 1-8. FIGS. 1 shows a semiconductor wafer 18, that has a substrate 20 which may, for example, contain transistors, diodes and other semiconductor elements, (not shown) as are well known in the art. The pad oxide 24 and a nitride mask 28 are deposited onto the substrate 20 and patterned using lithography to expose areas where trenches 22 will be formed. The nitride mask 28 and pad oxide 24 in the exposed regions are then etched by plasma, for example. The underlying substrate 20 is also etched in the exposed regions, forming trenches 22 in the substrate 20. After removal of the lithography photoresist, the pad oxide 24 is typically slightly etched back under the nitride mask 28 to expose the top corners of the trench 22. A thermal liner oxidation is then performed which rounds the corner of the trench 22 and forms a good electrical quality interface at the trench edges, leaving a liner oxide 26 along the bottom and sidewalls of the trench 22, as shown in FIG. 1. Next, an oxide fill 30 is deposited to fill the trenches as shown in FIG. 2. During the deposition of the oxide fill 30 a seam 32 is formed near the center of the trench 22, as shown in FIG. 3. Then, the oxide fill 30 is polished back using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), for example, to planarize the surface and expose the nitride mask 28, as shown in FIG. 4. The nitride mask 28 is then removed using a wet etch, for example, leaving the structure shown in FIG. 5.
The method typically used to deposit the trench fill oxide 30 is chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which results in a seam 32 near the center of the trench 22 where the oxide 30 meets when depositing on each side as illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4. This seam 32 is a weak region compared to the remainder of the deposited oxide material 30, due to the lack of sufficient oxide bonding in the seam 32 area. Thus, when the oxide fill 30 is exposed to HF-containing solutions, the weak seam 32 etches more quickly than the rest of the oxide, which may lead to central voids 34 as illustrated in FIG. 5. These central voids 34 may fill with poly-Si and other processing materials in subsequent processing steps, which may lead to poly-gate strapping or shorts between adjacent gates of transistors.
Another problem with the current method of shallow trench isolation trench fill is that the HF-containing solutions may etch the oxide fill 30 at the edges of the trench, creating edge voids 36 as illustrated in FIG. 6. The edge voids 36 pull the oxide fill 30 back, exposing the trench corners. A pre-gate cleaning step may then remove the liner oxide 26 at the trench corner as shown in FIG. 7. The subsequent step of gate oxidation may result in gate-oxide 38 wrapping around the corners of the trench as shown in FIG. 8, resulting in increased leakage current. The present invention, shown in FIGS. 9-11, solves these problems of the prior art. In the present invention a substrate 20 is provided and then pad oxide 24 and silicon 42 are deposited onto the substrate 20. The pad oxide 24/silicon 42 stack is typically formed by thermal oxidation of the silicon substrate 20 to a thickness in the range of 100 Å to 500 Å followed by silicon 42 deposition, for example, by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using gases such as SiH4 (silane), Si2 H6 (disilane), or SiCl2 H2 (dichlorosilane). The silicon 42 thickness is preferably in the range of 1000 Å-3000 Å. Preferably the silicon 42 comprises polycrystalline silicon, but it may also comprise amorphous silicon.
The pad oxide 24 and the silicon 42 are patterned using lithography to expose areas where trenches 22 will be formed. Exposed portions of the silicon 42, pad oxide 24, and substrate 20 are removed to create trenches 22 in the substrate 20. Typically, the trenches 22 are between 2000 Å to 6000 Å deep with a sidewall angle of 70� to 90� from the horizontal length of the wafer, although the present invention may be used for semiconductor devices having other trench depths. The silicon 42, pad oxide 24, and silicon substrate 20 are preferably etched using plasma etch processing, but other etch processes may be used. The pad oxide 24 is typically slightly etched back under the silicon 42 to expose the top corner of the trench 22. A thermal oxide liner is then grown on the trench walls which rounds the corner of the trench and forms a good quality interface at the trench faces by leaving liner oxide 26 deposited along the bottom and the sidewalls of the trenches 22. The thickness of the liner oxide 26 is, for example, 100 Å-600 Å, or an amount necessary to form a sufficient electrical interface with the silicon substrate 20. The silicon 42 will also partially oxidize during the liner oxidation, forming corner oxide 43, shown in FIG. 9. The corner oxide 43 provides more trench corner protection for the structure.
Next, a nitride trench fill material is deposited, leaving a nitride fill 40 residing over the corner oxide 43, silicon 42 and in the trenches 22, as shown in FIG. 9. The thickness of the nitride fill 40 is dependent upon the trench depth and pad oxide 24/silicon 42 thicknesses, but is typically in the range of 3,000 Å to 12,000 Å. The nitride fill 40 is deposited, for example, using SiH4 (silane) or SiH2 Cl2 (dichlorosilane) and NH3 (ammonia) at approximately 600� C. to 800� C. using CVD. The nitride fill 40 and portions of the corner oxide 43 are then polished back using CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) to expose the silicon 42 as shown in FIG. 10. Next, the silicon 42 is removed, preferably by wet etching, resulting in the structure shown in FIG. 11 that is absent the central void 34 and edge voids 36 found in the techniques of the past (see FIG. 8). Subsequent processing steps may then be performed as required.
An optional embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. After the pad oxide 24 is removed (FIG. 12), an optional sidewall nitride 44 may be formed on the edges of the nitride trench fill 40. This sidewall nitride 44 may be formed, for example, by the deposition of a thin (approximately 200 Å-1000 Å) nitride layer using CVD processing, followed by plasma etching of the nitride layer to form the sidewall nitride 44 on the edges of the nitride fill 40. The sidewall nitride 44 further protects against undercutting of nitride through liner oxide in post HF processing.
The nitride fill 40 preferably comprises silicon nitride, but it may also comprise other nitrides such as boron nitride, for example. Such nitrides are resistant to HF and thus, even though a seam 32 may form in the trench 22, where the two sides meet during a nitride deposition, the seam 32 does not etch in HF solutions, and does not create a central void 34 as with the prior art. Also, the nitride fill 40 at the edges of the trench does not etch back in HF solutions to expose the trench corner, as in the prior art. The silicon 42 and pad oxide 24 may be chosen to provide a layer of poly-Si that may be selectively etched with respect to the nitride fill 40 material.
The novel method of using a nitride fill 40 for a trench fill material offers definite advantages over conventional processes. First, a central void 34 is not formed during subsequent semiconductor processing steps, for example, from HF etching of the trench fill material. Also, edge voids 36 are not formed in the nitride fill 40 material at the top edges of the trench 22. This results in a much more robust STI semiconductor device that is absent of manufacturing problems such as gate oxide wrapping around the trench corner, causing increased leakage current, and poly-Si deposition in the central voids, causing poly-gate strapping or shorting. The optional sidewall nitride 44 further protects against nitride undercutting through the liner oxide in subsequent HF processing steps.
While the invention has been described with reference to illustrative embodiments, this description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications and combinations of the illustrative embodiments, as well as, other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to a person skilled in the art of upon reference to the description. It is therefore intended that the impended claims encompass any such modifications or embodiments.

text: The park where visitors sleep with wolvesBy Daniel Allen, for CNNUpdated 6:20 AM ET, Mon March 14, 2016 Chat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds. Photos: Polar packs – Opened in 1994 in the the heart of Norwegian Lapland, Polar Park is the world's northernmost wildlife park. The highlight of this animal sanctuary is its population of seven gray wolves. Although they were all bred in captivity, some are more accustomed to humans than others. This means they are divided into three packs, each of which lives in a separate enclosure.Hide Caption 1 of 11 Photos: Rooms with a view – Opened in late 2015 at the Polar Park, Wolf Lodge is the world's first luxury accommodation situated inside an enclosure of wolves. Guests are often treated to a dramatic chorus of nocturnal howling, with the animals frequently approaching the lodge's large glass windows during the day and night. Hide Caption 2 of 11 Photos: On a mission – Instrumental in rearing the wolves of Polar Park, Stig Sletten is the sanctuary's animal manager. "There are a lot of negative stereotypes about wolves, both in Norway and across the world," says Sletten. "One of our overriding aims here is to educate both locals and visitors about Arctic animals and the value of preserving Norway's natural heritage. Once they've interacted with the wolves of Polar Park, many of our visitors leave with a different opinion."Hide Caption 3 of 11 Photos: Lupine love-in – Polar Park's lupine experience doesn't get closer than during the so-called "wolf kiss."Those visiting or overnighting at the Polar Park can enter the enclosure that surrounds Wolf Lodge. The wolves are allowed to approach and interact with the group. Safety is paramount, with strict rules of engagement and a keeper present at all times. "The wolves at Polar Park have been reared to socialize with humans," says Sletten. "Allowing them to interact with visitors is actually a good way to relieve boredom and stress, and also means we can check on their condition."Hide Caption 4 of 11 Photos: Scenic sidetrack – The town of Narvik has about 20,000 inhabitants and plenty of attractions. The Ofoten Railway (Ofotbanen) -- more popularly known as the Polar Express -- runs between Narvik and the iron ore mining town of Kiruna, across the border in Sweden. The line passes through some spectacular scenery, with snow-covered mountain ranges, plunging fjords and rust-coloured mountain cabins all illuminated by the soft Arctic light. Hide Caption 5 of 11 Photos: Northern delights – With its rugged topography and frequently cloudless skies, Narvik is one of the best places in Scandinavia to view the spectacular (yet often elusive) northern lights (aurora borealis). The best time to see them is from November to March. Launched in January 2016, "Lights at the Lodge" is a new Northern Lights experience that takes guests by cable car from Narvik up to a lodge on Narvikfjellet (Narvik Mountain). Here guests can enjoy panoramic views of the town and nearby fjord, and -- with luck -- some dramatic aurora shows. Hide Caption 6 of 11 Photos: Seafood smorgasbord – Located in the center of town, Narvik's Fiskehallen (Fish Market) is the place to witness the bountiful array of marine produce that comes from local Norwegian waters. An adjoining cafe offers a small menu of fishy snacks -- the fish cakes come highly recommended. Hide Caption 7 of 11 Photos: War and peace – Narvik played a significant role in 20th-century history. Two major naval battles took place offshore during World War II, as the Germans looked to secure supplies of Swedish iron ore. The town's interesting Red Cross War Museum is well worth a visit, with photos, paintings and a range of artifacts such as uniforms, weapons and medals on display. The museum will soon move to a new "Peace Center", opening across the road in the summer of 2016. Hide Caption 8 of 11 Photos: Fjord forays – Ofotfjord, on which Narvik is located, is one of the longest fjords in northern Norway, with a depth of over 550 meters. Regular boat cruises from Narvik's harbor allows passengers to experience the local scenery and fishing industry, and get up close with wildlife such as killer whales, seals and sea eagles. Hide Caption 9 of 11 Photos: Animal encounters – Aside from wolves, Polar Park is home to a number of other Arctic species -- including lynx, brown bear, Arctic fox, musk ox and moose -- many of which are endangered or extinct in the Norwegian wild. Covering 114 acres of the Salangen Valley, the park's enclosures are all large, and there is a strong commitment to animal welfare.Hide Caption 10 of 11 Photos: Controversial canine – There aren't many animals that evoke such strong feelings in humans as the wolf. In Norway the debate over wolves has been long and highly divisive, with many in favor of their total extirpation. While a visit to Wolf Lodge and Polar Park reveals these intelligent animals to be far from the slavering, wanton killers that many believe them to be, Stig Sletten and his team still have their work cut out persuading people otherwise. If they and Norway's pro-wolf lobby fail, then the only wolves left in Norway may soon be the ones behind fences. Hide Caption 11 of 11Should we be afraid of wolves?

Apple acknowledges use of Corning Gorilla Glass on iPhone, means Gorilla Glass 2 likely for iPhone 5
That and Apple's reliance on Asian parts materials makers had led some to believe that Apple had gone to Asian glass manufacturers for their iPhone production.
In the New York Times' iEconomy series, Corning is said to have shifted its glass manufacturing to China.
"Our customers are in Taiwan, Korea, Japan and China," said James B. Flaws, Corning's vice chairman and chief financial officer. "We could make the glass here, and then ship it by boat, but that takes 35 days. Or, we could ship it by air, but that's 10 times as expensive. So we build our glass factories next door to assembly factories, and those are overseas."
However, today, Apple released its US Jobs report which included the following info:
Corning employees in Kentucky and New York who create the majority of the glass for iPhone,..
