The amorphous silicon carbide films investigated throughout this work were pro-duced on the basis of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The two different PECVD reactors used for the deposition of the films were presented. The principle development of the material was conducted at the AK400M batch-type reactor from Roth&Rau and the processes were then transferred to an industrial type SINA in-line reactor from the same company. For standard passivating Si-rich a-Si1 xCx layers deposited in the AK400M reactor working with RF power only, SIMS measurements revealed rather low C-atom densities (< 10 at.%) in the matrix. Doping atom densities of 1×1021 cm-3 for phosphorous and of 5×1020 cm-3 for boron were determined for a typical gas flow of 100 sccm (B2H6 or PH3 highly diluted in H2). The a Si1 xCx films fabricated in the SINA reactor exhibit a similar composition as well as similar electrical properties as their batch-type counterparts.
A parallel analysis of a-Si1-xCx/c-Si and a-Si1-xCx/c-Ge systems was performed. From literature it is known that the main differences in terms of surface passivation of crystalline silicon and germanium substrates are the instability of (thermally grown) GexOy and the limited practicability of hydrogen for the passivation of Ge dangling bonds. From a compositional viewpoint, the performed transmission electron micros-copy (TEM) studies reveal no difference in the film structure depending on the substrate type. With increasing C-content, the Si-rich a-Si1-xCx films become less dense, a fact which is attributed to an increasing microvoid density. The c-Si surface passivation quality is found to be directly correlated with the Si-H bond density in the film. The onset of Si H bond rupture at around 300°C therefore coincides with the onset of electrical degradation independently of the carbon content and the doping density in the film. The surface passivation of germanium by a-Si1-xCx demonstrates a fairly different behavior. First of all, the thermal stability of intrinsic films is significantly increased. The electrical degradation starts at temperatures as high as 450°C and therefore indicates a "decoupling" of hydrogen present in the film and passivation quality.
Regarding the optimum substrate temperature during film deposition, a value of Topt=270°C was found to provide the best overall performance for Si as well as for the Ge substrate. A similar behavior for both substrate types is observed for deposition temperatures below and above this temperature. Post-deposition annealing improves the passivation quality for Tann
From isothermal lifetime experiments, an activation energy for the degradation of the passivation quality was extracted. For the c-Si/a-Si1-xCx system this energy amounts to approx. 0.5 eV, for the c-Ge/a-Si1-xCx system a value of approx. 2 eV was found, clearly pointing to different passivation mechanisms involved. Furthermore the results of this type of experiment allow for linking the temperature stability of the electrical properties of the film to the equilibrium between Si-H bond rupture and its inverse process (Si H↔Si + H). The latter is triggered by the availability of free atomic or molecular hydrogen in the matrix.
A set of a-Si1-xCx passivated silicon wafers of different thicknesses allowed for the extraction of the "pure" injection dependent effective SRVs. The fitting of the SRV data of p- and n-type silicon substrate with the extended Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) model reveals a change of sign for the fixed charge density parameter Qf of the film when changing the doping polarity of the substrate. The existence of amphoteric interface (near) states is confirmed by SPV measurements. Several experiments performed with the a-Si1-xCx/c-Ge system point to a direct saturation of Ge dangling-bonds by Si- and/or C-atoms. The latter effectively suppresses carrier recombination at the germanium surface. The passivation of c-Si surfaces on the contrary is inherently linked to the saturation of Si dangling-bonds by hydrogen. Although the incorporation of carbon in the a-Si matrix was shown to clearly enhance the thermal stability of the c-Si passivation in the temperature range up to 500°C (as compared to pure a-Si), the stability during firing processes (750-900°C) could not be verified.
The performance of intrinsic and doped a-Si1-x¬Cx as rear side passivation (in im-mediate contact to the solar cell base) was investigated. Intrinsic films preserve their excellent passivation quality at the solar cell level, in particular no indication of inversion layer shunting comparable to the phenomenon observed in SiNx is found. The performance of its doped counterparts as passivating media strongly depends on the doping level and on the applied rear contacting scheme. However, the major benefit of doped Si-rich a Si1 xCx layers is unveiled in combination with (thin) intrinsic films. This is demonstrated by a newly developed rear passivation and contacting scheme based on intrinsic and doped a Si1 xCx films in conjunction with an adequate laser process (PassDop). The fulfilled demands of the amorphous silicon carbide system on the rear of the solar cell are threefold: very low SRVs are yielded by the intrinsic film next to the crystalline silicon interface, an overlying highly doped Si-rich a Si1 xCx layer acts as dopant source during the laser process and a C-rich layer enhances the optical con-finement at the rear of the cell. On high-efficiency n-type solar cells, this approach evidenced a very high process stability and led to efficiencies of up to 22.4 % (Voc =701 mV, FF =80.1 %). On p-type cells, the equivalent process yielded efficiencies of up to 21.6 % (Voc =683 mV, FF =80.7 %) being therefore directly comparable to passivation schemes featuring high quality thermal SiO2 and to atomic-layer deposited Al2O3 in combination with the LFC process.
The use of a highly doped a Si1 xCx layer as a doping source during the solar cell fabrication can result in a thermally stable high-low passivation scheme. A simplified process sequence for n-type solar cells based on the in-situ diffusion of a n+ BSF from phosphorous doped a Si1 xCx was introduced. The diffusion of the rear high-low junc-tion takes place during the high-temperature process for the formation of the boron emitter. The rear contacting is done by a laser process equal to the one presented in the PassDop approach. The introduction of an additional C-rich film on the rear makes this approach optically superior to diffused full area contacted BSFs. In combination with a well passivated front side, this concept was found to have an efficiency potential of up to 20 %.
Layer structures based on amorphous silicon carbide were also applied to the solar cell front side. The former necessarily comprise at least a two layer system. A thin Si-rich film (≈ 10 nm) next to the interface is needed for the electrical surface passivation and a C-rich film of adjusted layer thickness serves as anti-reflection coating (ARC).
Si-rich a-Si1-x¬Cx films exhibit good passivation properties on planar (shiny etched) phosphorous diffused n+-surfaces (J0e ≈ 40 fA/cm2), however a strongly deteriorated performance is observed on textured (random pyramids) surfaces (J0e ≈ 400 fA/cm2). Boron diffused p+-surfaces could not be satisfactorily passivated by a-Si1-x¬Cx. (J0e ≈ 900 fA/cm2). The typical procedure for the extraction of the emitter saturation current density (J0e) from lifetime measurements was found to be unfeasible for the passivation with a Si1 xCx. This finding is ascribed to the strongly injection dependent surface recombination velocity of a Si1 xCx at low injection levels independently of the surface doping polarity.
C-rich a SiyC1-y (y >0.5) layers were optimized regarding their transparency, yielding anti-reflection coating properties slightly inferior to the ones of typical ARC-SiNx. A low temperature approach for the front side passivation and front contact formation (SE-PassDop) was presented which basically consists of a laser process for opening of the silicon carbide and of subsequent front metallization by Ni/Ag or Ni/Cu plating. During the laser process, additional dopant atoms incorporated in the front passivation scheme are driven into the surface and allow for the formation of a selective emitter.
First p-type solar cells featuring the PassDop rear and the SE-PassDop front side approach for the passivation and contacting of respective surfaces were fabricated with planar (shiny etched) and textured (random pyramids) front side. A strong parasitic absorption on the front side is mainly attributed to a non-optimized C-rich a SiyC1-y layer. Open-circuit voltages of up to 672 mV and 623 mV evidence a high level of surface passivation on planar emitters and a strongly deteriorated performance on textured surfaces, respectively. The feasibility of the metallization concept including the laser process is impressively demonstrated by fill factors of up to 79 %. The incor-poration of a doped, Si-rich a Si1 xCx film in the emitter passivation scheme proved to be beneficial in terms of series (contact) resistance as well as in terms of front surface recombination.
While the parasitic absorption in the front a-SiCx layer stack should be strongly re-duced by application of an optimized C-rich a SiyC1-y layer and by further reduction of the thickness of the passivating/dopant containing films, it is not yet clear how to over-come the problems related to the poor electrical passivation of surfaces featuring random pyramids.
As a final, practical remark, passivating a Si1 xCx is more closely related to amor-phous silicon than to SiNx – from a chemical as well as from an electrical viewpoint. However, "carbon doping" of the amorphous silicon matrix clearly exhibits a beneficial impact on the (low temperature) thermal stability of the film (< 500°C) while maintaining an excellent level of electrical properties.

No Rush
I'm in no rush to be ready for a door like this one. It was a very odd old door with strange key locks and it slides open. There is a local ghost story that goes with this receiving tomb. Some workers at the cemetery saw a very tiny child standing by the door. As they approached in concern, they saw it was a little girl, but she always vanished when they got too close. The next day a child sized coffin was brought to the tomb. A little local girl had drowned a few days earlier.

Higgins raring to get his teeth into his old foes in Irish Banking inquiry
There was no sign of eggs frying on the sun-soaked plinth of Leinster House, but temperatures were running a little high inside the building.
The Technical Group were in conclave. It should've been a short meeting, simply a procedural rubber-stamp of Joe Higgins's candidacy to replace Stephen Donnelly on the banking inquiry committee, as the Socialist Party TD's nomination was unopposed.
But Joe's former comrade, Clare Daly, took exception to the notion that her one-time ally had been selected unanimously by the group. A bemused John Halligan asked if she was opposing the choice, but the Dublin North deputy wasn't. However, she was objecting to the use of the 'unanimous' word.
A lengthy wrangle ensued but in the end – as planned all along – Joe was selected unopposed in a sort-of unanimous way.
What is it about this infernal banking inquiry which seems to spark more shemozzles than the Football Championship?
First it came to pass (eventually) that the Government announced it would hold an official inquisition into how our banking sector scampered over the cliffs like a cartoon roadrunner. It was surely a no-brainer, providing an admiring electorate with the edifying spectacle of all sorts of toppled masters of the financial and political universe being summoned to account for their movements in front of a democratically selected cross-party committee of gimlet-eyed TDs and senators.
What could possibly go wrong?
Having proved themselves in recent months to be experts at the art of porcine couture (the ability to fashion a sow's ear out of a silk purse), the Coalition didn't disappoint this time either. A serious outbreak of faffing about by government senators led to them losing their majority on the committee – a cock-up which the Coalition promptly compounded by drafting in two extra Fine Gael and Labour recruits to restore the status quo, thereby causing opposition uproar in the Upper House.
And this hoohah led to Independent TD Stephen Donnelly throwing a strop over the inequity of it all and throwing his hat at it, declaring the Taoiseach was "treating democracy in a cavalier manner" as he headed for the door.
In steps Joe Higgins: Out on the plinth after the Technical Group pow-wow, the newest kid on the committee block was doing his damnedest not to lick his chops in anticipation of another chance to sink his fangs into his same old foes.
"I am sure that the Taoiseach who was in charge of the country when the property bubble was being blown up, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, will be brought before the inquiry," Joe reckoned with relish. "And that Taoiseach Cowen, who presided over the initial bailout, and I also believe that Taoiseach Kenny, who continued the bailout, should be among those who would be called."
He was clearly raring to get started, and while he may not have the in-depth knowledge of banking arcana like financial whizz-kid Stephen Donnelly, Joe has a PhD in winding up the great and the good.
"I am prepared to sit and to quiz and question in the inquiry those individuals who were central to the political and economic events of the time, and interrogate them very strenuously," he vowed.
However, a short time later during Leaders' Questions, a gloomy Clare Daly was determined to rain on the committee's parade. "It's quite clear that the toothless banking inquiry is not going to expose anything, except maybe a few politicians to a bit of badly needed publicity," she sniped.
"It has dawned on many citizens now that the Oireachtas inquiry into banking has about as much chance of getting to the bottom of what happened in the banking sector as Billy Bunter would have in finding out who robbed the school tuck shop. It is a joke," she sneered.
Across the chamber the Taoiseach looked a bit weary. He must be fatigued from all his recent travelling (San Francisco, Guernsey and Lebanon) and recent U-turns (banking inquiry and discretionary medical cards). "I am glad to note the political policy regulatory structures on banking governance will be examined by the Oireachtas committee free of any direction from the Government," he began, before being drowned out by cackles from the far side.
Finian McGrath comforted Enda. "Don't worry – Joe will sort it out," he assured the Taoiseach, but there was general agreement among the Opposition. But it wasn't unanimous.
Irish Central Bank issues warning on crowd–funding (peer to peer) regulations
The Irish central bank has issued a warning to consumers over the unregulated status of crowd-funding and peer-to-peer lending.
The two cash-raising techniques have become increasingly widespread as small businesses find it hard to raise traditional bank finance.
They involve businesses raising funds by amalgamating small sums invested by non-experts, often through third part platforms.
The Central Bank's warning details concerns about risks specific to lending money through crowdfunding platforms, including the risk of the investor company or indeed the platform itself failing.
It also flags "the risk of misleading or insufficient information disclosure, unfair contract terms of misleading commercial practices, and the absence of dispute resolution and redress mechanisms".
The bank's statement does acknowledge that crowd-funding or peer-to-peer lending "is a type of market-based finance that could help stimulate funding to small and medium sized enterprises as well as personal lending".
Read: Borrowing without banks – here's how you've done it.
While the Central Bank told TheJournal.ie this morning that it is not hitting the 'red alert' button on crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending, it considers it important nonetheless that consumers know its regulatory status.
Industry response
A spokesperson for peer-to-peer platform linkedfinance.ie said that the company wanted to see the industry regulated.
"We want it regulated…we've engaged with the Department of Finance and the Central Bank from the start on this. We're lobbying to get the industry regulated."
He added that much of the transactional activity around crowd-funding took place through ordinary bank accounts, which are themselves regulated.
Gardai Commissioner O'Sullivan announces overhaul of penalty points system
The Garda Commissioner, Noirin O'Sullivan, has announced an overhaul of the controversial penalty points system.
The changes to the fixed charge penalty scheme are designed to strengthen oversight of how it operates and make it easier for the public to apply for cancellations.
The moves follow an examination of the system by the Garda Inspectorate, which found widespread breaches in policy.
The inspectorate's probe came amid allegations by Garda whistleblowers regarding the cancellation of points for some motorists.
Ms O'Sullivan announced that the authority to cancel fixed charge penalty notices will now be centralised at the processing office in Thurles, Co Tipperary.
A guide explaining how the cancellation system works will be published on the force's website, garda.ie, while a special form for cancellation requests will be made publicly available on the website, or through the Thurles office.
Regular audits will be undertaken to keep a watch on the operation of the system and a revised internal manual outlining the changes to policies and procedures will be published.
Ms O'Sullivan said: "These and other ongoing changes of the Fixed Charged Penalty System demonstrate An Garda Siochana's commitment to improving the effectiveness and transparency of the process.
"We will continue to work with the Criminal Justice Working Group to examine how best to implement the short, medium and long-term recommendations set out in the inspectorate's report.
"An Garda Siochana's primary focus is in ensuring that the system continues its success in improving road safety and reducing road deaths," she added.
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald last night welcomed the announcement.
"They are very important steps in ensuring that we have an efficient fixed charge penalty system in which people can have full confidence," she said.
Ireland to lift top rate tax for offshore oil groups to 55%
The Irish government is to raise the maximum amount of tax levied on offshore oil and gas production to 55 per cent but has stopped short of setting up a national oil company along the lines of Norway's Statoil.
Amid public controversy over the potential of oil and gas deposits in Irish waters, and the amount of tax companies pay on any profits any commercial fields would generate, Pat Rabbitte, Ireland's energy minister, said on Wednesday that the new fiscal regime would increase the state's tax take at an earlier stage in the production process.
The arrangements mean that the overall amount of tax oil companies will pay on commercial production would rise to a maximum 55 per cent, depending on the size of the field, from 40 per cent currently. The new higher rate will apply to new licences only; existing contracts are not affected.
The changes follow a report by Wood Mackenzie commissioned by the government into the fiscal regime surrounding oil and gas exploration and production in Irish waters. The consultants compared Ireland's fiscal arrangements with those in marginal production countries such as South Africa and Spain and recommended the changes based on the potential for commercial oil and gas discoveries.
The UK and Norway were also included in the comparisons because of the frequency with which their experiences are cited by both proponents and opponents of exploring for oil and gas in Irish waters.
Mr Rabbitte said that by acting now to clarify future licensing terms, "it is my intention to communicate a clear message in relation to the stability of Ireland's fiscal regime for the oil and gas exploration sector". He said that would allow them to "focus on effective and timely exploration effort".
Oil and gas companies have been prospecting in Irish waters for more than four decades. The Wood Mackenzie report says that only four commercial gasfields have been discovered, and no commercial oilfields. One industry executive estimates that up to €4bn has been spent on exploration in the waters of the Atlantic and the Celtic Sea so far.
Controversy over the financial returns from Irish oil and gas has been sparked by the delays that have plagued the Corrib gasfield off the northwest coast. It was discovered in 1996 but production is not expected to come onshore until 2015 after public protests against the building of pipelines led to arrests and the jailing of protesters that sparked public outrage.
Industry executives say comparisons of Ireland with Norway are inappropriate and premature. The Wood Mackenzie report said: "The essential point is that . . . offshore Ireland remains a very high risk, very high cost province for exploration."
Fish do feel pain as well says an expert
Fish do have feelings and intelligence on a par with other animals and deserve better consideration of their welfare, according to a behavioural biologist at Australia's Macquarie University.
DR Culum Brown came to the conclusion after reviewing the scientific evidence on fish capabilities.
He found that fish have good memories, lived in social communities, co-operated, and learned from one another.
They displayed behaviours normally seen in primates and were even able to build complex structures and use tools.
While their brains differed from those of other vertebrates, they contained structures that performed similar functions seen in other animals.
There was also mounting evidence that they felt pain in the same way humans do.
Brown believes fish are just as likely to be sentient as other animals.
He wrote in the journal Animal Cognition: "Although scientists cannot provide a definitive answer on the level of consciousness for any non-human vertebrate, the extensive evidence of fish behavioural and cognitive sophistication and pain perception suggests that best practice would be to lend fish the same level of protection as any other vertebrate.
"We should therefore include fish in our 'moral circle' and afford them the protection they deserve."
People rarely thought about fish other than as food or pets, said Brown.
He pointed out that fish were second only to mice in terms of the numbers used in scientific experiments.
With more than 32,000 known species, fish far outweighed the diversity of all other vertebrates combined, he added.

Freedom to earn while you learn is a big attraction for apprenticeships
Engineering Learning on the job, in the real world, was the biggest attraction for an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering says Jamie D'Ath.
1. Why did you go into mechanical engineering?
"I love chemistry and technology. After a work experience placement, I knew I wanted to get into something that combined science and tech with analysis thrown in too."
2. How did you become an apprenctice?
"I was aware that apprenticeships existed but my school was more focussed on the university route, so didn't promote an apprenticeship as a truly viable option.
"The first time I really considered an apprenticeship was when I entered the Robot Rumble competition, sponsored by the defence company – and my now current employer – MBDA. I got talking to them about apprenticeships and what they could offer, which really inspired me. I found out MBDA is a part of a scheme called the 5% Club where member organisations aim to have at least 5% of their workforce in 'earn and learn' positions, which highlights its commitment to developing apprentices.
"I was thrilled to be accepted for a role here. My school still made me try for a university place though – just in case!"
3. How have you found being a young woman in mechanical engineering?
"Ultimately, while there is still a large gender diversity gap, it's shrinking and there's nothing holding women back from succeeding in the industry.
"So far, my experience has been great. I've not had a single problem, and everybody I have worked with has been really nice - they don't seem to see me as different because I'm a woman and instead treat me the same as anybody else.
"I do think working for a company that genuinely believes we need a more balanced workforce has made my experience much more positive."
4. Who's your role model?
"My mum. She worked as an engineering apprentice when she was my age and had been an early trailblazer in that way. She was working in mapping when she started a family and the men where she worked at the time really didn't want to see her go.
"She kept up her interest in engineering, working as a classroom assistant who could help out on any engineering topics and I'm sure her interest and knowledge contributed to my choice of career."

5. Apprentices talk about gaining real-world experience. Do you agree?
"For me, learning in the real world is the main benefit of an apprenticeship over university. I've been given freedom and responsibility in my work, which has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally.
"A project I ran looked at how we might be able to safely dispose of products. It wasn't just a fascinating project; I was also given the independence to run it myself. It exposed me to work that involved combining safety and logistics with networking around the company that I feel I could never have received at university."
6. What would you say to a young woman considering a career in STEM?
"Engineering isn't all about guys in hi-vis jackets, hard hats and muddy boots (although there certainly is some of that, if that's what you're after!) The clincher for me is that the opportunities in mechanical engineering are endless. If I want to be working on missile trials, I can. If I want to move into missile design, I can – and that's just within the company I work for.
"There's a lot of choice on where you take your career."
7. What do you think can be done to make children, particularly young women, aware of how they can pursue a career in STEM industries?
"There needs to be more media campaigns that show young people just how diverse careers in STEM are and employers need to reach out to schools.
"Personally, I've seen how STEM outreach can excite young people and make them more aware of the opportunities available to them.
"I do a lot of work with my old school as a mentor promoting careers in engineering and other STEM subjects, with my employer giving me time out of work to do this. I help out with Robot Rumble, a project where school children are given parts they can build a robot from, which they then enter into competitions.
"It's really important for me to work for a company that continuously explores new ways of engaging with young people and activitely encourages its employees to get involved."
8. What would you say to a young person who feels drawn to a career in STEM, but loves to be artisticly creative too?
"My hobby is art; both freehand and digital drawing. Being interested in a career in a STEM industry doesn't mean you have to give up being interested in other things. Quite the opposite, really, because engineering involves creativity.
"It requires skills from many areas and having varied interests can enable you to see solutions that others may not be able to."

Our lovely blog reader Toya Sharee has contributed to our 'From The Heart' feature – a weekly Sunday spot on the blog where we hand the blog back over to our readers to write about all matters of love and life.
To err is human; to make budgeting mistakes, totally human as well. Most people are not aware of the little budget traps we get caught in, because life is so busy that it's hard to keep track of the smaller money details. But being careless can rack up higher bills. Pretty soon, you might be wondering where your money is going — you don't spend that much every month, but your bank seems to be emptying itself on its own. Here are things you need to watch out for:
- Buying things that are not on sale: Most items generally go on sale if you wait for it. Whenever I buy greatly discounted items at a big annual sale like Black Friday, an outlet mall, or on some flash sales site, I wonder why I ever bought items at full-price.
- Not preserving your groceries: Even if you're good about saving on your groceries and avoiding the items that are greatly marked up in the supermarket, those savings will be worth less if you don't know how to properly preserve your groceries. If you're throwing away food, you're wasting money. Do things like only cutting fruits and vegetables when you need them, putting your bread in the fridge or the freezer, and making perishable items more visible in your fridge. Here are even more tips for lengthening the life of your groceries.
- Never checking your bills for mistakes: Monitor your receipts, bills, and statements to see if there are any mistakes being made. Get into a habit of giving your receipts a quick once-over as soon as you receive them. This may save you money, and it'll definitely save you the time and effort of having to go back to the store or calling them to deduct the mistaken charges. Now that big banks are trying to slip in more fees to the unsuspecting customer, you have more reason to monitor your statements. Be a responsible consumer — the sooner you catch on to suspicious fees, the more chances you'll have of getting your money back.
- Leaving your electronics plugged in: It's easy to be lazy and leave your electronics plugged in because you figure you'll be using them soon. Electronic items still suck power even when they aren't turned on. In fact, they draw five percent of the energy in American homes, according to a study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The amount of energy wasted is equivalent to the output of 18 power stations!
- Buying brand-name instead of generic: Sick of personal finance experts telling you to buy generic, buy generic, buy generic? Well, embed that into your brain, because buying generic will save you a boatload of money. Health bills are already as expensive as it is, and switching to generic medicine will save you a ton. The FDA says consumers will save 80 to 85 percent by going generic. Read to find out how safe generic drugs are. Generic medicine aside, you should also consider skipping out on brand-name goods when grocery shopping or buying everyday items. Many taste tests have proven that generic products taste just as good and sometimes even better than brand-name ones.
- Not negotiating for lower rates: There's a quote that says "Success in life is directly proportional to the number of awkward conversations you're willing to have." People shy away from negotiation because they feel like it's uncomfortable, but if you don't ask, you don't get. The worst thing that will happen is the answer "no." Negotiate interest rates at your bank, a better plan for your cell phone bill, accidental overdraft charges, better terms on your loan payments, and more.
- Living by yourself: Splitting the apartment rent with roommates or renting out all the rooms in your home can greatly ease your living costs. Be aware that there can be situations in which an irresponsible roommate can cause a lot of headaches, so make sure you create a roommate agreement before anyone moves in. Splitwise is a great website to use when you're trying to calculate how much rent each roommate should pay.
- Not refinancing your mortgage or car loan: Make an effort to contact lenders about monthly rates. You may be able to find a plan that lets you pay less for your debt payments without greatly increasing the total cost of your loan. Make sure you do your research to see if refinancing is right for you.
- Sticking with your big bank: You might want to stick with your big bank because you like having all your accounts at one place or you think it's a hassle to move your money around. Make sure that you are getting the best interest rates for your money. High-yield savings accounts are getting harder to find, but they do still exist!
- Not automating: Automate all of your accounts to cut down the time it takes to manage your finances and to make sure nothing slips through the crack. If you don't pay your bills on time you might be charged late fees. Make sure you're eliminating that risk by automating. Further, you don't have to rely on willpower when you automatically send your money first to your retirement and savings account before spending it on the less necessary items.
- Making do with less energy-efficient bulbs: Replacing your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs is an easy way to save the environment and money. Be sure to do your research before buying or asking help from a salesperson because energy-efficient bulbs can differ greatly in how much they will help you save.
- Not investing in a programmable thermostat: A programmable thermostat is a good investment because you save energy by programming the thermostat to control the heating and cooling when you're away from home or asleep. There are programmable thermostats for about $60.
- Subscribing to cable: With all the major shows live streaming episodes soon after they air, there seems to almost be no need to subscribe to cable. Local channels will suffice, and if you're ever itching to see a show you can't access on your TV, check out the websites of the TV networks to view the episodes. Bonus: many will offer additional clips that often aren't featured on the show.

As the focus of the world shifts to the Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing, there's nothing more exciting to do in Atlanta on 08.08.08 other than going to the release of these Nike Dunk Supremes at Standard.
You can't tell from any of the photos on the internet, but the patent leather on all the sneakers have glitter embedded inside the material so that they really pop in person. I've got my eye on the super-rare white colorway.

Question: In IMG tags, should we use TITLE as well as ALT? Some browsers do not reveal ALT tags on rollover but will show TITLE tags in images.
Answer: The TITLE attribute (not to be confused with the TITLE tag) is probably of only marginal benefit. The ALT attribute for images is much, much older and has a history of helping the blind see. Ironically, Google as a search bot is "blind" and the IMG ALT attribute helps it see what an image is about.
I think both can help, I would definitely embed SEO keywords in both the TITLE attribute and the ALT attribute; but since the latter is historically older, it probably has more impact. All with the caveat that any of these tags are much lower on the totem pole than the major tags – 1) TITLE, 2) H1 / H2, 3) A HREF.

2017-18 Schedule
Follow the Buckeyes on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat
COLUMBUS, Ohio – It wasn't the best of afternoons for the No. 18 Ohio State women's basketball team but it ended well with a 68-55 road victory at Wisconsin.
The Buckeyes got out to a fast start, saw Wisconsin climb back and take a lead, endured a scary injury by Makayla Waterman and then pulled-away down the stretch for the 13-point win.
Stephanie Mavunga and Linnae Harper led the charge yet again as each notched a double-double for the second-straight game. Mavunga had a game-high 21 points and 10 rebounds while Harper added 15 points and 11 boards.
Kelsey Mitchell scored 16 points and hit a three-pointer in her NCAA record 81st-straight game. Fellow senior guard Asia Doss chipped-in with nine points and a team-high four assists.
OSU led 22-9 at the end of one but Wisconsin was able to cut into the lead in the second. The Badgers outscored the Buckeyes 19-13 in the second quarter and the OSU lead was just 35-28 at halftime.
Wisconsin raced out of the locker room and scored the first eight points of the second half to its first lead of the afternoon at 36-35. OSU regained a 41-38 lead when with 2:08 to play in the third, Waterman fell awkwardly on a rebound attempt. She was taken to a local hospital for precautionary evaluation and had movement in all of her extremities. The delay took a bunch of emotion from the Buckeyes but a Doss three from the wing on the team's first offensive possession helped lift the spirits. The OSU lead was 44-38 heading to the fourth quarter.
The Buckeyes opened the final quarter with an and-1 from Mavunga and a runner from Harper to build a 49-40 lead. That duo scored 11 of the team's first 14 points in the quarter to help keep the lead around 10 points. OSU pushed the lead to as many as 16 points with two minutes to play and would hold on the for 68-55 victory.
Up Next
Ohio State returns home this week to host Rutgers on Thursday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. That will be the only meeting of the season between the two teams.

The date of record for the establishment of the community of Carlin is December 4, 1886. Carlin began in the days of the Central Pacific Railroad's push eastward towards the linking of east and west with the driving of the last spike at Promontory Point in May of 1869. The laborers building the railway were Chinese emigrants who settled and planted vegetable gardens here. These vegetables were sold to residents and travelers. Thus the community was referred to as Chinese Gardens. The town later became known as Carlin, named after William Passmore Carlin, who was a Union General in the Civil War, and stationed here in 1863 before the reservation was moved to Owyhee. The word is that the three creeks around Carlin were named after his daughters - Maggie, Susie and Mary.
The railroad which began hauling perishables needed a way of preserving the fruits that were being shipped from the west coast to the east coast. Ponds adjacent to the tracks would freeze and men would cut the ice with saws and store the ice blocks in a building nearby. As trains stopped on their way through, the workers would reload the cars with ice. This method was used until the mid-1950's. Since the early 1960's, when modern mining techniques began being used, mining companies have been the major employers in the area. With the advent of technology, mining has taken on an even more important role. Gold is no longer used just in the jewelry industry. It is necessary for most any of today's conveniences you can name - CD players, microwaves, computers, aerospace, communications and medical laboratory equipment.
A part of Carlin's history includes the Overland Stage Station & the original Carlin Stone House Ranch, both are now private homes. Also the Carlin Post Office was established December 4, 1886. Carlin received its name from Captain William Passmore Carlin who camped one and a half miles up Maggie Creek with a troop of men. He was on a military expedition from Camp Floyd in Utah to California. The Central Pacific reached the present Carlin site in December of 1868. Carlin was selected as the eastern terminus of Humbolt division and a town site was laid out. The original post office was established on December 4, 1868.
Chinese laborers working on the construction of the railroad planted gardens and the site was known as "Chinese Gardens," but when the railroad was completed to Carlin, the name was changed. The Chinese community was located south of and across the alley form the present day City Hall. It extended west, to south of the old S. P. (Southern Pacific) freight house, in the location of the City Club and that area. Most of the Chinese worked for the railroad, washing engines, pushing the "turntable" around and other menial jobs. Others of the Chinese community operated stores and laundries, or they worked as cooks. Very few Chinese women were found in Carlin.
In the year 1868, the migration of men and their families began the arrival in the Carlin area. Most of the migrants worked for the railroad in the shops and in the roundhouse. At this time, the pioneer ranchers came, such as S. Pierce, C. Boyden, James Clark and T. Griffin. After the arrival of the Central Pacific Railroad at Carlin, there was much competition among some of the pioneers in Carlin to build toll roads and enter the stage and freight business. These freight and stage lines connected the railroad with mines and towns such as Eureka, Austin, Mineral Hill and others (rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nvelko/elko_histCarlin2.html).

It's no secret that the North American diet is almost entirely deficient in omega-3 fatty acids. The deficiency of omega-3 fats in the North American diet is so severe that it has been linked to an extensive list of health-related problems cited in over 2,000 scientific studies. Omega-3's are essential for the body, meaning they must be obtained through the diet. In fact, the National Institutes of Health recommends that an individual consume at least 220 mg/day of DHA, the most crucial omega-3 fats. The good news is that the Xoçaí Omega Squares provide a minimum of 200 mg of DHA and EPA per three-Square serving. The Squares are an excellent source of omega-3 fats, and promote the necessary balance of essential fatty acids through the unique blend of açai berry, flaxseed and a patented, plant-based omega-3 fat.

There is overwhelming scientific evidence demonstrating that those of us who eat a diet rich in antioxidants and take antioxidant supplements will live longer, healthier lives. When it comes to aging, setting the clock back a few years may have more to do with consuming an antioxidant-rich diet than using any kind of skin cream to eliminate wrinkles.

The Old Man living at Ponderosa Pines has been busy the last few weeks churning soil, digging ditches, planting seeds and seedlings, pulling weeds and using tons of water hoping he will get a bountiful harvest of tomatoes, lettuce, chard, onions, spinach, jalapenos, beans, peas, sweet peppers, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, zucchinis, beets, carrots, Lima beans and tomatillos.
It's a lonely time doing all this. Sometimes Ms. Robin comes by and watches the old man as he waters the plants and the "plants-to-be" (seeds) hiding under the soil. Ms Robin hops to the ditch and ducks its beak into the water, throwing her neck back and let the drop of H2O trickle down her throat. She uses her left leg and scratches her left ear, or where an ear would be on a bird. That scratching actions reminds the old man of his poodle/pug Smokey as he scratches his ear with his paw. Why do dogs and birds do this, muses the old man.
Ms. Robin pecks the ground and picks up some fluffy stuff like moss and flies away. The old man follows Ms. Robin. She rests in a tree for a couple seconds, then flaps high into an oak tree in a neighbor's yard. The old man sees Ms Robin is making a nest. Strange, thinks the old man, that he hasn't seen Mr. Robin yet. He hopes there is a Mr. Robin in this picture or Ms Robin's time sitting on the nest will be futile.
If that happens, the Old Man tells himself, he will put out some lettuce or spinach or chard for all the trouble Ms Robin went through.

Proverbs 4:1-2 (NASB) Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, For I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.
Our children are hurting. Have you seen the stats for youth suicide? Whether or not we have children of our own, when we came to Christ we joined His Body of believers. His family. We are related to each other. The children that are out there with no one to help are our family. I had the unique pleasure of watching the presentation of Amherst Christian Academy perform their spring program. I watched as these children performed a human video all about Christ. In a world where many kids are turning to drugs, alcohol, and sex to the point that they are killing themselves, it was great to see some youth celebrating Christ. As I thought about it, it was because there were adults there who cared about them. If you speak with the principal of the school about the children, he will get teary-eyed with the love he has for them. My prayer is that we all could get teary-eyed for God's children – each and every one of them.
Application:• Personal Application: Continue spending time with the Lord daily. Sow righteousness and reap the fruit of God's unfailing love.

Talk to me moms....
8 comments:
Hey Jen! Greta is potty trained, except for at night, and she has been since about 23 months. She starting showing interest about 18 months, and I really started focusing on it around 20 months. The biggest things that I can tell you that worked for us -
#1 - Patience from mom. That might be harder for you as your attention is being pulled in more directions! But I can tell you sometimes I have to sit in the bathroom with her for 20 minutes and sing songs/read books, etc.
#2 - Taking her every morning as soon as she woke up. I really felt like that let her know the feeling of "needing" to pee, versus the feeling of already having gone.
#3 - Buying real underwear. We just told her that princesses didn't like to be pee'd and poop'ed on. They wanted to stay clean and dry, and she needed to tell us when she needed to go potty.
#4 - Playing Elmo's Potty Time on the Sesame Street website. That way I could say to her "Remember how Elmo's daddy took him to the potty...blah blah blah."
#5 - Not pushing. We cranked up the heat and ran around bottomless A LOT! That way she could go if she needed to, and if she had an accident...well...that's why I have wood floors! ha ha. Accidents are for learning...if she had one we just talked about how next time she should tell mommy...blah blah blah.
#6 - Trusting her. I remember the first time I took her to the grocery in real underwear. I was terrified. But she did it, and if she had had an accident it would have just been a learning experience.
I haven't talked to you this much in I don't know how long! But good luck!
Hey Jen!
I tried everything with Kayla and we would have good days and bad. I finally left her alone and it happened overnight. She just woke up one morning and has done great ever since. I am convinced it happens when they make up their mind to do it. The big thing is not to push them because they want to be in control. Although she was 2 1/2 when it finally happened, I am just happy she did it before Brynn was born.
I admit that I am one of your 300 hits because I look at your website almost every day along with the "Keenan Twins" website. I LOVE seeing the pictures of your beautiful kiddos and reading the updates. Hope to see you again the next time we are in K.C. Who knows...maybe we will have another newborn if Jeff gets his way. :)

From what I keep hearing - it's so much easier to train them "one at a time." Our Sullivan is showing interested, too (or I should say "was") so we got a potty seat and let him sit on it when he wants. That's as far as we've gotten! We did only underwear (no diapers) for about three days seeing if that would "jump start" things but to no avail. We're trying again soon. :) Even those three days every time he wet his pants I thought - that's twenty cents I just saved by him peeing in underwear instead of a diaper! The laundry wasn't great - he only pooped once but it was kind-of stinky!
Good luck! (and how do you find out how many hits your blog gets??)
Take care!
- Jennifer Mullinax said...
Thanks so much ladies....I really think were going to try and give this a go and see what happens. I've heard of letting them go bottomless...oh how I wish I had all wood floors like you Carrie!!:)
Emily I'm so glad you chimmed in...and I'm glad you check in on us...you should get a blog started so we can *see* your beauitful girls more often. I hope we can get together next time your in town...I'd love to photograpgh those girls!!
Kara~ www.statcounter.com you can put a tracker on the bog to see how many hits...you can see where people are linking from and sometimes where they are located...It's crazy we get hits from all over the world, Austrailia, Africa, China...and the lost goes on and on. ~J

All 3 of my kids were different (and it's been so long ago...) but you have to let them lead you. I agree, take them first thing when the wake up, in the morning, from naps, kids usually have a 'routine' time they go, if you pay really close attention (and I know that's hard)you can figure Isabelle's routine out. Then when you know it's 'her time' suggest she try to go potty, or sit on the potty chair.
Ian used pull-ups and that prolonged the process. When I took them away, and used real underware, he was done in 1 day (8 pair of underware in one day) but never an accident after that first day.
The girls had an awesome sitter who knew how to do it, and had them both out of diapers by the time they were 15 months old.
The secret no matter what you try, is you have to be consistant, always, everywhere they are. Nana's, Grandma Donna's, home, at playdates, you have to be consistant.
Hope this helps.

buy them like there favorite underware, or let them pick it out, just make it special. and then in the morning just put them in underware, and if they have an accident they have to wear diapers while everyone else is still in underware. this worked with my twins, i think because they are a bit competitive. we had only a couple of accidents. I also for the first while every hour made them sit on the potty, just for them to get in the routine. Good luck. JUst don't force it, if they seem to no get the hang maybe wait a couple of months again.
Hi Jen! I don't comment often but thought I'd give you my input beings that you asked. If she's showing interest, I'd definitely give it a try but don't pressure her. She'll give you clues if she's truly not ready. I remember being so excited when my first daughter was trained at 17 months (yes, I know this is early but showed interest and did great). I kind of half expected the same with my second daughter but she decided she wasn't interested until she was 28 months. So, don't be worried if one trains now and the last isn't trained for another year. Good luck!!

Ha~ I have new advice. Do not use a back up plan. We went to the lake this weekend and headed to the Outlets for the big President's Day sale. (That was fabulous by the way.) But I told G that the potty's at shopping were yucky, so she was going to wear a diaper and she could go potty in her diaper.
Well - all weekend long then she had accidents. Poor thing - I think I confused her so much! :(

As described at the previous post, Sentinel-2A is a newly launched European Satellite. It was put into orbit by the European Space Agency on 23 June 2015 (view launch video here) and it provides coverage of Earth every 10 days. It has 13 high resolution spectral bands which cover a wide spectral area in visible, near infrared and shortwave infrared at 10, 20 and 60 m spatial resolution.
A clear Sentinel-2A acquisition over Heraklion has been downloaded from SciHub, where Sentinel-2 Level-1C product is available for users. Level-1C product contains the top-of-atmosphere reflectance in digital numbers. Sentinel-2 Level-1C imagery can be viewed and further processed using the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP). ESA's Sen2Cor prototype processor was used to atmospherically correct the acquired scene and produce the final Sentinel-2 level-2A product.

Protest against high gas price in Sari (northern Iran)
A number of gas clients held a protesting gathering outside gas office building in Sari (northern Iranian city) on Sunday. The protesters protested against the announced gas price in their gas bills and said that the price was much higher than the usual price.
Iran's official inflation rate is rising ten times as fast as the national growth level.The Iranian government puts the inflation rate in the Persian calendar year which ended March 19 at above the 18 percent threshold. Most economic analysts who follow the state of Iran's fitful economy put the real level at well above 20 percent.Still, even when using the officially-announced figures, the government's economic track record offers a poor show, considering that the state generated an all-time-high income of $75 billion, mostly from its vast oil and natural gas resources. Government figures show that the inflation rate over the year that just ended rose more than five percent from the 13.6 percent over the previous year. This is while the national growth level increased from 6.2 percent to 6.7 percent – a half-a-percent jump. The tenfold increase of the inflation rate over the national growth level is a telling sign of the duress the economy has suffered with the policies employed by hard-line president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This is not to say that Iran's mismanaged economy had been prospering under previous governments. Most Iranians have continued to suffer economic hardships since the early days of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Ahmadinejad's 2005 presidential campaign ran with the platform that he would bring the nation's wealth to every citizen's dinner table. Yet, the average price of most household goods has increased by over 20 percent over the past year alone, leading to almost daily acts of anti-government protests across the country. Many ordinary Iranians would seem to prefer that money diverted to the regime's nuclear program - which is supervised directly by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – is instead spent on domestic projects to slow down economic regression.

Contemporary Kitchen Lighting Ideas Project by Mal Corboy:
The client purchased this penthouse apartment off the plans and has been three years in the making.
The award winning Architect for the apartment project had designed this contemporary complex with very modern simple lines. There is a high degree of glass and natural stone on the exterior. He had sourced European Imported Kitchens for all of the apartments, however my client found that the company could not meet the height he wanted in the cabinetry of 2.4 meters'. A client that I have worked with in the past recommended they commission myself to assist them achieve their perfect Kitchen.
As my clients has been involved with the Professional Motor Sport Industry for a number of years, they wanted a very masculine looking space. To achieve this we eventually chose the Stat Vein Marble and Stainless Steel, which provided an overall strong mono chromatic look to the Kitchen. Bench tops were made 150mm high of Stainless Steel with the Stat Marble inserted into the work surface. I continued the use of the Stainless Steel on the draws, doors and end panel fronts. My clients were particularly fond of Gaggenau appliances and wanted these, to not only match their overall look, but also used extensively within their Kitchen. This required sourcing and importing the Gaggenau fridge/freezer from England as at that time the integrated option wasn't available in our country. A streamline chromed handle was used on all the cabinetry which were imported from Germany, this gave the Kitchen nice lines and could be used secondary to the Blum electric push release draws. The clients are very design conscious people and coupled with the fact it was twelve months before production began for this Kitchen, I was required to rework the drawings several times as their taste changed as they were exposed to new and different products in the market place. The end result is a very contemporary kitchen which takes peoples breath away when they first see it. This has become a focal point in this large open plan apartment.

Participants went on a series of 3-minute dates and indicated whom they would like to see again.
They were followed-up by the researchers six weeks and 12 months after the speed-dating session.
Mind you, we're not going to get your adrenaline running 24/7 like those other guys but then again we won't treat you like second class citizens more often than not.
I've already witnesses women saying one thing and chasing after the complete opposite and it simply goes back to the age old question: "What the hell do women want?
ending up in a long-term relationship) with a speed-dating partner was 4%.
These numbers were influenced by the mating orientation of the other sex, however.
Another reason may be that those with a short-term mating orientation may have been more extraverted, and their extraverted behaviors were noticed and remembered more.
Other research has shown that Extraverts do better than introverts in a rapid mating context such as speed dating (Luo & Zhang, 2009; also see : the more shy the man appeared, the less popular the man.
All of their participants were real singles whose sole motivation for participation in the study was to find a real-life romantic or sexual mate.In one event, there was hardly any space between the tables.I could hear every awkward conversation, and not just my own.The short time period of interaction could skew the results as you have 3 minutes to make a judgment call on someone and you have to take everything at face value so you can be a total narcissistic a-hole but you don't have to let them know that for 3 minutes.I think at least one reason sociosexual men do better in speed dating is because they don't take the proceedings too seriously. Someone who's relaxed and willing to take chances on flirting, light teasing, or engaging in off-the-wall humor, or someone who treats a meet and greet like a job interview?" I think the study itself is confounded as it shows quantitave evidence that the majority of women go speed-dating to seek a long-term partner, but then rate the more sociosexual males higher.

To me, My walk cycle during this pace is a lot better then previously. I have had more experience animating by now and can do it better. However, you can see flaws in mine. Joe's animation is a lot smoother then mine, and more constant throughout. In mine I had a lot of bouncing up and down in the walk, probably too much. Joe's looks to be a lot smoother and more natural then mine. You can tell what actions my character is doing but it needs to be smoother and more natural.
There needs to be more lead up in some of Joe's actions. I think a few more seconds of pause would help the animation more, and I need to learn from this. There is really no pause in mine, and you can't really see what my character is doing until you watch it a few times. There needs to be more time for Norman to notice the attractive person, and recognize them, then he can follow up with the action.
Joe also needs more movement with the back that shows he is pulling. You can tell that he is pulling, but just a bit more exaggeration would help more it along more.
