Pall Showcases Record Number of New Technologies for the Semiconductor and Display Industries
"The increasing complexity of semiconductor devices gives rise to the need for more sophisticated contamination control solutions," says Steve Chisolm, President of Pall Microelectronics. "This is a good thing for Pall. The technologies we are showcasing for chemical, gas, photolithography, ultrapure water and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) applications are the latest demonstration of our leadership, technical prowess and innovation to help our customers meet more exacting requirements and succeed in their respective business."
Chemical Filter Cartridges
Pall is featuring two filter cartridges designed specifically for wet chemical filtration in critical surface preparation processes. Both these filter cartridges provide a new platform for advanced performance. They allow customers to upgrade to the next level of finer retention without sacrificing flow rate while improving cost of ownership. The Ultipleat® SP DR Filter offers high flow with 30 nanometer (nm) retention for hydrofluoric acid (HF) and ambient clean and etch chemistries. For hot SPM and aggressive chemicals, the UltiKleen? Excellar ER Filter provides 20 nm rated filtration. New disposable capsule options for each product will be displayed at the show.
Since the launch of these products, two of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing companies have adopted them for use in critical applications, including HF baths. Their experiences further validate the advantages that the filters provide to help customers achieve an advanced level of performance.
Gas Purification/Filtration Technologies
To meet the growing need for gas filters and purifiers that provide higher flow capacities, lower differential pressures and greater purity levels, Pall adds several new products to its line of Gaskleen® products for a diverse range of customer requirements.
The Company is introducing the High-Flow Gaskleen Top Mount Filter Assembly, its first all-metal, top-mount assembly that provides 3 nm and greater particle removal, at flow rates up to 100 standard liters per minutes (slpm). Constructed with a state-of-the-art stainless steel medium, the new filter assembly provides benefits for the most advanced processes including those that operate at higher temperatures, involve highly corrosive gases or are sensitive to moisture. Both W-seal and C-seal interfaces are available in either 1.125" or 1.5" base configurations.
For applications where fluoropolymer filters are preferred, Pall is introducing the Gaskleen V Filter Assembly, its latest generation fluoropolymer filter assembly which provides 3 nm and greater particle filtration at a higher flow capacity up to 1,200 slpm. This latest version filter assembly has a smaller footprint than previous products and ranks as the cleanest PTFE filter assembly available today.
The Company is also announcing the availability of its PG Series Gaskleen Purifier Assemblies and Manifolds, which can both purify and filter a large number of process gases with flow rates up to 1,000 slpm. Molecular contaminants such as moisture, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and metal carbonyls can be removed to less than 1 part per billion (ppb). Integral filters remove particulate down to 3 nm. The PG series are available as stand-alone assemblies or with bypass manifolds containing isolation valves and a backplate for easy mounting.
Photolithography Filtration and Purification
Pall is showcasing its latest advances in lithography filtration and purification including its proven defect-reducing capabilities in 193 nm photoresist and BARC chemistries and its newest membrane developments. The latest generation 10 and 20 nm and 0.04 µm filtration products will be on display.
The all-polyethylene construction 10 nm PE-Kleen Filter, one of the tightest photolithography filters ever offered, is ideal for most lithography applications. Customers have already adopted Pall's PE-Kleen filter for many critical lithography applications as it allows them to reach an even finer level of filtration without any sacrifice in pressure drop.
The 20 nm Asymmetric P-Nylon Filter was specifically developed to allow tighter filtration in 193 nm photoresist and BARC chemistries. Its asymmetric membrane geometry provides low operation pressure while still offering an extremely tight pore structure. The nylon material provides superior micro-bridge defect reducing capabilities and the hydrophilic nature allows for rapid system start- up.
The 0.04 µm Asymmetric P-Nylon Filter is Pall's latest addition to its P-Nylon product line. The asymmetric P-Nylon filter maintains the proven defect-reducing capabilities of Nylon 6,6 with a reduced pressure drop. This allows customers to achieve an even finer level of filtration in higher viscosity applications including i-line and 248 nm photoresist.
Point-of-Use Purification for Ultrapure Water
Pall is expanding its family of IonKleen? Purifiers to embrace two new products for trace metal ion removal from ultrapure water (UPW) for critical cleaning processes. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene membrane in both products has been modified to incorporate cation exchange groups on its surface, resulting in spontaneous and immediate trace metal ion removal.
The IonKleen AQHT Purifier is specifically designed to operate in hot rinse water up to 85 ºC. The IonKleen AQF Purifier combines high particle as well as cation removal efficiency for long service life in ambient temperature UPW, typically 12-18 months. Both purifiers are available in standard cartridge configurations.
Pall Microelectronics is the global leader in filtration, separations and purification technologies for the microelectronics industry. It supports the semiconductor, data storage, fiber optic, advance display and materials markets with a comprehensive suite of contamination control solutions for chemical, gas, water, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and photolithography processes.

In this article we will be focusing on presenting product information, as well as monetized content, i.e. links that can lead to sales, ads, and related images. Before we begin I'd like to summarize what we've discussed so far.
Primarily we've illustrated how to use sharing tools, follow buttons, keyword based links, images and some of the SEO secrets that border on SMO. We've done so quite casually but where most of this is headed is towards not only engaging your reader, but including them in a process.
Ideally we can envision sales related articles as simply business, and perhaps a friendlier sort of business where: "provided a customer wants something you are selling you have a good chance of making that happen."
This can be dangerous thinking, and for bloggers this is often a fatal flaw.
Because not only are you less likely to imagine your blog selling something unless that is your actual goal, but because even if it is, what words do the people buying what you are selling need to hear to convert willingly into a customer?
You may not be selling anything but the goal remains the same:
- To overcome an objection to the thought you are presenting
- To enlist the reader in your thinking
- To leave room for their conclusions
- To inform about whatever might be relevant
- To encourage engagement that can "seal a deal"
So with that in mind, what are you presenting?
If you read much of my writing you'll notice that I ask questions to "myself" seemingly during my blog. It might look silly to some journalistic type bloggers. Of course I am merely presenting a logical question in response to what was just presented, but why is that important?
Because whether we are selling anything or not, the goal is to let the reader follow your thinking.
So presenting a product, and information about it, are actually easy enough.
Keep the theme of the products similar, with similar backgrounds for multiple examples. Colors are distracting when the reader examines what you have shown them. So even if you don't like white backgrounds, stick within the contrasts as much as possible.
Advertsisers don't typically surround products with color, they present a barren neutral backdrop that accentuates the color scheme of the product.
Like the following example.
Phauxshiba-Bell-Snackintosh running BSD
Were we to use this as the example, we could put a rating here, Best in class 2 days in a row!
|Brand and Specs here Hd/Ram/Etc
|Ships with AC converter also Solar Powered
|Specs here coupled with options. Free turkey with every purchase.
|Grey, Black, White, Or Minty Delicious Green
|Price here, followed by reviews underneath.
|0 available because it's not real.
3 out of 5 stars because it didn't exist. ~ Random Nonexistent Consumer Magazine
The goal here is to elaborate beyond the "placement of the product" in such a way that the reader understands why you are talking about it.
"I personally enjoyed the slim semi neurotic styling and the free bonus turkey was delicious."
Monetization on the other hand is finding a way to:
- Get paid for that article directly which can sometimes be done through the agency marketing it
- Get paid for ads that run along with it i.e. for comparable products or additional products and services
- Be selling the product itself directly or through an affiliate program though this borders on commission
- Be the person collecting data related to the interest in the product (Bloggers know what topics are hot by page views)
- Be the person being paid by companies to be an expert about the products (Only I know how to fix this tiny machine)
- Any combination of the above as well as commissions possibly though commissions are more engagement based usually
While you are technically only a short google search away from ways to get "involved" with each of these approaches, be aware of the following…
None of this is any easier than it sounds, in fact getting involved with sponsorships, affiliate programs, product sales, etc can be very time consuming and difficult, particularly when you are just starting out, but even as time goes by the potential of getting monetized in new ways without alienating old affiliate programs becomes more difficult.
The chances of getting rich using google adsense type programs is becoming increasingly slim unless you devote a great deal of time to it exclusively.
The same is true for each individual approach.
However as you get more involved it can and does happen, so use your best discernment when choosing an approach.
Thanks for reading this!

Controlled Vocabulary
- A means of searching a resource using words or terms selected by the creator of the resource or by an organization or individual other than its user. In contrast to a keyword, which can be any word or term selected by the user of the resource. Descriptors and subject headings are types of controlled vocabulary.
- the privilege granted by a government to an author, composer, artist, etc. to publish and sell their own original work. A copyright establishes ownership of information. Copyrighted information is often stamped with the copyright symbol, but not always. Always assume that information belongs to someone and give credit to the original author by citing the source.
- a collection of information arranged into individual records to be searched by computer. This term is often used to describe the electronic or computerized version of an Index.
- Articles that are available online in their entirety, either in an online database or on the web are called "full-text articles."

All periodical indexes provide bibliographic citations for articles, sometimes abstracts, and occasionally full-text of some (but usually not all) of the articles.
Information Literacy
- The ability to identify, access, and evaluate various types of information sources, and be familiar with the issues involved in using information in an ethical manner.
Invisible Web
- Information that resides on the Internet but cannot be searched by search engines because of layers of protocol or passwords. Most information in the invisible web is contained in databases, such as ProQuest or EBSCOhost. Some estimates say there may be as much as 500 times more information in the invisible web as in the visible web.
– A periodical on a specialized topic. Journals are often published by a professional association, society, foundation, or institute. A
Refereed Journal

Reserve Material
– Selected by a professor to be available to all students in a class. These materials are housed behind the circulation desk.
Secondary Source
- As compared to primary source, a secondary source does not include first-hand account. For example, a diary is a primary source. A biography based on information in the diary is a secondary source.
– A location on the internet, such as a Web site. Do not confuse with cite.
Style Manual
- Special guides that illustrate the accepted forms for citing references in bibliographies, footnotes, and endnotes. Some style manuals are for general use. Others are published by professional associations as form guides for articles in journals in that field of knowledge and research.

One day, on Pinterest or Instagram (where ever) I saw this cactus mural wallpaper. And then I realized that it cost over $400 to purchase enough for one wall. Being who I am, I couldn't stomach spending that much money on wall paper. Or just really, PAPER. So, I decided to recruit my creative friend Kristin to help me do it myself, by hand! We first tried a stencil on cardboard, but that was going to take all day. Then I decided to just go at it by hand completely. We mixed some of the paint and then started swirling and sponging and dabbing paints over my sketched cactus spears!
We took our birthday boy to a Giants game this past Sunday – and what an awesome time we had. Some serious memory making! We even invited his bestest friends in the world to come – Stella from daycare (his girrrrrlfriend) and James, my friend Sarah's little boy that he completely looks up to! Plus the parents, so even better for us. We went for the bleacher seats so Jace could see more of the game and it worked out great. A little warm, but we got some shade where we were, and there was the occasional breeze (why do I always talk about the weather? haha Must be something I get from my Dad). Momma even got a root beer float! We sure do love our friends the Andersons, and Stella's Mom and Dad. We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Good friends and a good game! I think Jace loved every minute of his birthday gift. Here are the lovebirds together ;) Every time Stella gives Jace a hug she tries to pick him up all the way. It's the cutest thing.
Spring break in these parts came and went fast this year! Day care was closed so I got to stay home a couple days with Jace face and the other days he spent with family, which is always nice. The days are getting warmer, the orange blossoms are popping and the labor countdown is getting serious. I'm down to weekly exams at my Doctor to check on baby and my cervix, not always fun but it's getting me closer to the end. I'm feeling large and in charge. And for some reason, all I want to eat are oreos and chocolate shakes and the pizza cookie from Oregano's >D Crap food at the end, it always gets me. Might as well throw that new year's resolution out the window! We have the Giants game today with Jace and some friends, and we can't wait to see his face! Might be a scorcher out there, but we'll try to stay cool and Jace will surely be entertained! So until next week, here's what brought me joy over Spring Break:
1.An acai mango bowl with my little man after a trip to the park .. I can't believe I've just now discovered Nektar Juice bar. And why do acai bowls taste so much better when someone else makes them for you? We also did the zoo one day, and had so much fun. I love the days where I can feel like a stay-at-home-mom!
2. Seeing Jace's sweet little expression on his face, playing ball with Grandma at the park. He looks so purely happy.
3. Goodwill Redesign on Saturday! I usually have their 50% off sales marked on my calendar, because it's really the best day to go. We found a ping pong table for $50, lots of house-warming goodies for a friend, and a rose-colored vintage rocking chair for our room (or maybe the baby's room). We literally walked out spending less than $100. Amazing!
4. And last but not least, a little surprise from Rob on our wedding anniversary, with love letter and all (and mani/pedi $$ to treat myself). Happy 9 years sweatheart; I love you so much.
And p.s. Pandolly is back but now renamed to The High Low .. still one of my favorite podcasts. I love their flingy flangy topics, and accents, and girl power atttiudes! ;)
Have a great week!
I've been going non-stop lately it feels like. I actually don't even plan a lot on the weekends (or during the week for that matter, unless it revolves around food), but with Rob's schedule and the rush of wanting to get stuff done around the house before baby comes, I think I just needed a day. So I took one the other week and stayed home with Jace. Creating life an't easy. And this time around I've encountered some new things. Like sharp pains in my sides and below the belly, cramping, hip pain (it's almost like my hips feel bruised!) and some weird back end issues that shouldn't be happening because I'm actually drinking a ton of water this time (what!?). It's so hard to be my happy self when things start to weigh down on me, literally. We had our hospital tour recently, too, which just makes me wish it was April 4th already so I could be in there, getting it done! But at the end of the day, when I watch Jace run around the house in his blankie superman cape, or ask me if my butt still hurts, or when Rob runs me a epsom salt bath and puts the heated blanket over my belly, all is well in the world again. I'm so dang lucky to have this little family of mine and for the every day moments of life. I can't express how wonderful it feels to be in our home together, just hanging out, just us. It's really been my sanctuary during this pregnancy. I absolutely crave it when I'm not here. Something about a Nespresso in the morning, reading a book in bed while it rains (just finished Still Alice – heart breaking!), hanging in our front room on our $40 couch from Goodwill, cutting fresh roses from our bushes, or cuddling up to watch Annie (Jace loves it, ha), is where my zen is. The best kind of R&R for my changing body. Well, thanks for listening. I'll just be here stretching more to get this baby grown .. and opening the windows so I can smell the orange blossoms that are already out! ;)
We've been talking about going to see "the dinosaurs" with Jace for almost 3 months. I had found some pictures on my Instagram feed and showed Jace and of course he immediately wanted to go. Since before Christmas we've been telling Jace, "yes, we're going to go see the dinosaurs, but we have to save up enough month first .. " Even Jace started contributing and putting change in his own piggy bank. So, as you can tell, our baby moon to Palm Springs was also centered around taking Jace to see the Cabazon Dinosaurs. And now that we're back, he wants to go all over again >D. The day we went it was getting pretty cold, but we still made it out there, through the wind and rain. The video of Jace saying, "Want my sweater, want my sweater" just melts my heart. I know he's cold, but it's so funny. Just love him XO
And I'm officially not letting Rob take pictures. Why he thinks he needs to zoom in, I'll never understand. He's definitely better at video, hahaha. Well, for the record, here are some windy shots of Jace and me:

The home should be as spacious as possible. No matter how small or big it is the home needs plenty of space to avoid looking congested. The good news is that you have the power in your hands to make it as spacious as you like. It is possible to do this by hiring experts in remodeling such as Carter Custom Construction. Hiring the experts is a costly affair; hence, the more reason for doing it alone. A DIY project would produce amazing results; thus preventing you from searching or relocating to a bigger house to accommodate everybody in your family.
Here are some of the ideas you should consider to improve space in your home.
First, install a beautiful attic. If you already have one, you should make it more beautiful. Find ways of using the attic. Make it as functional and stylish as possible. The attic is capable of giving your home an entirely new level than you previously had. The attic is a transformable room. Feel free to convert it into an additional bedroom. There is no shortage of uses for this unused part of your home. It is easy to transform into a library room, home theatre center, or used as a home office.
The next area of focus should be the garage. An unused garage is a waste of space that you can convert into anything you want. Consider putting the garage to better use if its only purpose is to act as a storage facility for junk items. Start by renovating the garage to make it more spacious and roomier. There is nothing wrong in converting it into a man-cave where you spend some quiet time alone away from the rest of the family. Many homeowners have invested in home addition projects to create new levels above their garages thus solving space issues.
The basement needs some attention too. The basement gives you space for doing more than merely a storage place for broken appliances and old furniture. With the help of a residential remodeling contractor, the idle basement in your home can be a wonderful room. The basement offers you additional space for creating a rental apartment that helps you to earn some extra income. The basement is transformable into a play area for your young ones. A spacious home is one that has enough space for everything and everybody.
When looking at options for adding more space in your home, do not ignore the importance of thinking ahead. The future is a factor worth considering while making these calculations. Before taking any decision on remodeling the home, you should consider your plans in terms of increasing the family. If you plan to add more children, you should consider this too. Discuss the ideas with the rest of your family to discover what they want to. While at it, do not forget to consult a home remodeling expert for further assistance too.
If you need more assistance, hire Carter Custom Construction for better ideas.

The first full day after I arrived in Lijiang this year it was snowing. Looking out into the courtyard in front of my small house, I saw the first of my neighbours making his way slowly towards the courtyard from down the alleyway. He moved slowly and hesitantly, shuffling his slippered feet through the snow on the cobblestones. He didn't have a walking stick or Zimmer frame, but instead used the wall of a house as his support. Just an old man, I thought. Just an elderly guy going for his daily walk.
Then I looked again. He didn't look that young. Maybe in his 60s. And in that strange condition you sometimes get through jet-lag, tiredness, waking up, mental projection and your brain trying to make sense of where you are, a thought flashed through my mind:
He looks just like that guy from the movie The Castle. You know, Daryl Kerrigan, played by the actor Michael Caton.
So my first encounter with my neighbours was kinda reassuring and familiar. I figured if one of my neighbours looks like a film star, or even just an ordinary family man like Darryl Kerrigan was, I was in the right neighbourhood. Afterall, this being Capitalist China, the government could decide any day to extend the airport runway, just like in The Castle, and we'd need some brave folk to put up a fight to stop such a 'development'.
Also, given my liking for the movie The Castle, my frazzled brain at the time decided to find from my memory banks some of my favourite scenes and lines from that film. The opt-repeated line from Darryl to his kids: This is going straight to the pool room. Darryl's reaction to the price wanted for a second-hand item through the weekly trading paper: Tell him he's dreaming.
Darryl was the Homer Simpson of the Kerrigan family. Whenever his wife cooked something special (every night perhaps?) he would ask out loud: What do you call this?
He was always full of praise for those with smart ideas: 'He's an ideas man', he would say.
The scene where Dale visits his brother Wayne in prison: How's Mum? Good. How's Dad? Good? How's Trace? Good. How are you? Good. How's Steve? He's all right. Good. [voice-over of Dale - We could just chat for hours]
Or another of Dale's observations: Dad, he reckons powerlines are a reminder of man's ability to generate electricity.
Dale also noted how his Dad loved the tranquility of their secret holiday location by a lake. 'How's the serenity? So much serenity' Darryl would ask rhetorically. Dale [voice-over] I think he also just loved the word'.
There were the efforts of the lawyer Denis Denuto: It's Mabo, it's the Constitution, it's the vibe. It's the vibe of the thing, your Honor.
Dennis also touched on a familiar subject, technology - or in this case - photocopy rage: I cleaned you three fucking times! Tray three? What the fuck is that?
I knew all the trivia about the film. Like how it was made, in 11 days for less than $500,000, to showcase the skills of the filmmakers, so they could get funding to make a bigger movie. How the name the Kerrigans came from the towing truck firm which lent the filmmakers the trucks used in the film. And how they had to change this piece of dialogue for a US audience:
Darryl: Steve, could you move the Camerra. I need to get the Torana out so I get to the Commodore.
Steve: I'll have to get the keys to the Cortina if I'm gonna move that Camerra.
Darryl: Yeah, watch the boat.
Steve: Yeah.
So the next morning I was hoping to see my new neighbour. I was hoping he would shuffle down to the courtyard, do a slow circuit of the fountain and pool, then amble back to his house somewhere around the corner. Instead when I ventured out down his alleyway, I sensed there was something amiss. Around a corner, near where I thought my mystery man lived, a noise echoed along the alleyway. Someone was using an electrical saw. Nothing unusual in that, given this is modern China, we live in a tourist destination, and winter is the time for building.
As I walked along the lane closer to the action, I tried to figure out what three men might be making. Each wore a small white turban around their head. Weird, I thought. The object they were making was propped up on wooden stays. Then something in my bran clicked: it was a coffin. Someone had died. Maybe my own Mr Daryl Kerrigan.
As a result, I've been taking notice of how the Naxi grieve and commemorate the death of a loved one. From talking with some locals and reading more about Lijiang and the Naxi, this is what I've found.
For starters, Naxi prefer to die at home. And for their death to be witnessed by family members. Outrageous. What is wrong with wasting away in an old folk's home or retirement village, with an underpaid migrant nurse counting down the minutes til her shift finishes?
One of the reasons Naxi like to die at home is because the members of their family have some special duties once they leave this mortal plane. As soon as the person has breathed their last, a family member will quickly place some items in the deceased person's mouth. Under the tongue they will place a small amount of tea, salt, wheat and corn, along with a piece of silver or gold. This is essentially 'food-to-go' for the soul's journey to the world of ancestors, so they don't become wandering ghosts.
Then, the body is washed and cleaned, and dressed in a burial robe or traditional Naxi costume. A sheet is put over the body and the body is laid out in a coffin and the lid closed. Food is then offered to the deceased. Only then, once this ritual is finished, can the next-of-kin begin to grieve. Throughout the process, there has been great care taken not to cry, particularly not to let any tears fall on the body.
Usually the sons will stay with the body for the three days after death. The women of the house will cry and mourn.
Along my lane, those men I saw preparing the coffin may have recently acquired the timber for the coffin, or it may have been stored in the family home for decades. One foreigner I know living here lamented the fact that the house he rents still has the wood for a coffin stored inside, and when the landlord dies, the foreigner will have to close down his business for three days and do other duties he didn't expect from just renting someone's house.
The men used a black pine resin to seal the joints of the coffin, making it airtight and protecting it from insects. Along the way, over the days, at different stages of the death process, I hear firecrackers go off to dispel any bad spirits - and scare the heck out of any tourists venturing along the walled alleyway.
On the second day, a brick is placed on the stomach of the deceased with a small mirror on top. This way, if they wake, they will see a reflection of their face covered in a sheet, and will realise they are dead and will fall back in the coffin.
Four or eight plates of food and a big bowl of rice are offered to the body, with one chopstick laid across the rice and the other pointing straight up. This tradition explains perhaps the taboo of putting your chopsticks upright into the rice, as this also imitates sticks of incense used around this time. Relatives and neighbours offer food to the deceased three times a day during this time.
On the third day, the body is wrapped in a white turban and the 'bravest' person of the household or village takes some rice wine in his mouth and sprays it over the face of the deceased. This action is seen as an insult, but if there is no response, the lid of the coffin is sealed on the confirmed dead person.
The funeral ceremony itself is also held at home, with the coffin placed in a room, surrounded by the male members of the household. Again, rice, corn and beans are offered and those present pay their respects by kowtowing befor ethe coffin. After some speeches about the deceased, and more kowtowing, the coffin is lifted up by the men and put on poles. The women then form a line on their knees, with their heads towards the coffin, and the coffin is carried over this line outside the courtyard and to the burial site, usually on a hillside. The men take the coffin to the burial site where it is burnt, amid the noise of firecrackers. The women remain at home grieving.
The following day, relatives visit the grave site and offer food. One year later the ashes and bones are collected into a funeral urn and placed in the tomb. Those who lived with the deceased remember them seven, 14 and 21 days after their death, often wearing white turbans as a sign of respect. There are similar remembrance ceremonies 28 and 100 days after death, and on the first, second and third anniversary of death. Usually after the first anniversary there is a banquet to mark the end of any duties the family members had towards the deceased. Then after the third anniversary there is an even larger banquet. Family members and friends may visit the grave site on these occasions, as well as on 5 April, the national day set aside in China for 'grave-sweeping', when the site is cleaned and the families have a picnic.
During the three years after death, the household will not put up the usual red couplets on their doorways, instead white, or sometimes blue or green, couplets are put up to record the grief of the family. While death is seen as a sad event, the death of an old person who has three generations of descendants alive is regarded as an auspicious occasion, worthy of joyous celebration.
I had been thinking that maybe my neighbour didn't look quite old enough to have sons and daughters, grand-sons and daughters and great grand-sons and daughters. I was also thinking that maybe my arrival and the arrival of snow could have pushed my Mr Kerrigan over the edge.
So it was a relief, nearly a week after I first saw the splitting image of Mr Kerrigan, that I saw him again, alive, half-walking; half-lurching, making his way along the wall. He looked at me like Darryl would have, as if to say 'You've got to be dreaming'.
I realised later that someone a few doors down from him had died. Not him.
My Mr Kerrigan look-a-like seems alive and well. He is not the happiest person on earth, and the few times I have heard him talk, he speaks like a man who has had a stroke and is also deaf. Most days now I see him, clinging to walls in the neighbourhood. Clinging to this dear earth.

What Causes Electrical Problems in Cars?
Newer models of cars are now heavily dependent on their electrical systems in order to function well. Systems that run entirely on electricity include navigation (GPS) systems, window and door opening systems as well as the car starter. When there is a problem in the electrical supply, these systems will fail and the car will stall. This article discusses the major causes of electrical failure in cars.
Dead Batteries
Auto electricians say that most electrical problems in cars can be attributed to a faulty battery since it is the main source of electrical power for cars. A battery may simply grow old and no longer be capable of holding a charge for long. In such a case, electrical systems will fail to work because they are not receiving ample electricity. For instance, the car may fail to start because the start motor is not getting the power it needs. Such a battery may need to be replaced with a new one.
A Defective Alternator
An alternator is a device in the car that helps to charge the battery while the car's engine is running. When this device becomes defective (for instance, by having a cracked belt) the electricity in the battery will quickly become depleted and the car will stall. If you suspect that your car's alternator has problems, call an auto electrician to look at it and advise you as to what can be done to solve the problem.
Blown Fuses
There are very many fuses in your car. These fuses protect various sensitive parts of your car, such as its computer, from being damaged when there is an electrical problem like a short circuit. If your car develops electrical problems, such as lights that won't come on, your first line of action is to open the hood and check the fuse box in order to find out whether there is a blown fuse. It will have a characteristic burnt smell and when you identify it, get one of the spare fuses that are in the fuse box so that you can replace the blown one. If none is available, you can call an auto electrician to guide you on how to improvise until you get proper car fuses to use.
Electrical faults are very serious problems since they have the potential to destroy entire electrical systems in the car, or even cause a fire. It is therefore wise to have the contact number of an auto electrician, such as Thompson's Auto Electrics, so that you get their professional help each time your car develops electrical problems.Read More

for Familiesby A verified traveler from Santa Cruz, CA
No Place Like Home!Posted Oct 4, 2016
Pros: I liked that the property was safe and had room for our kids to run. A very family friendly place!
Cons: You can always find things to improve, but here they were very minor things that did not detract from our visit.
Location: There is poverty in Cusco and not much thought to city planning. Development has been chaotic and unchecked in the immediate area. Always felt safe,
We had a great stay here! It is outside the main tourist hub, but only a 10 minute $5 taxi ride away. Safe neighborhood. The owners, CiCi and Dorris, are amazingly warm and gracious people. They really took care of my family and me: oxygen for altitude sickness, great recommendations for places to eat and see, and they can set you up with trustworthy drivers.

Peaceful hotel, great servicePosted May 28, 2014 on Hotels
We stayed two nights at the Garden House and had a wonderful time. The service was excellent and the staff really cared about making our experience in Cuzco the best. We enjoyed the beautiful gardens, the quiet (it's tucked away in a residential neighborhood), and the sunny patio. The breakfast was good, and included fruit, eggs, guacamole, bread, coffee, tea, and cereal. They also provide free transportation to and from the airport. The room was clean and spacious. They upgraded us for free to a suite because there was a room available. It can get chilly at night, but they provided a heater. The only downside is that it's about a 20-30 minute drive to the downtown, but we enjoyed being away from the hubbub. We would definitely stay here again.

Too expensive and too far from downtown CuscoPosted Apr 16, 2014
We were a family of four and staid in two interconnecting rooms. The hotel staff was very helpful but this could not compensate for the distance to downtown Cusco. Also, while Cusco is expensive, the price was too high for what we got.

Peaceful, beautiful HotelPosted Jun 19, 2013
Pros: everything!
Cons: It's perfect
This hotel is a little off the beaten path. It's a 15 min cab ride to the main plaza. That said, it is one of the loveliest places we've stayed in a long time. I recommend it highly. The sisters, Doris and Ceci were both lovely and took great care of us. The room was large (really a suite), clean and comfortable. We had an issue with PeruRail and Ceci helped us figure it out. Doris took us in to town with her on the first day, and showed us where to go to eat and shop. They even gave us a cell phone programmed with the hotel number, so we could call when we wanted them to send a cab for us. A great place to stay!

quiet retreatPosted May 15, 2013 on Hotels
we really enjoyed this quiet spot outside the busy city. very personal service and helpful hostesses. would recommend for sure

AmazingPosted Dec 31, 2012 on Hotels
Our stay at The Garden House couldn't of been any more perfect. The House itself is beautiful, big, homey, comfortable and clean. The rooms are very generous in size and the gardens impeccable. Breakfast was great but most of all the service went beyond any of our expectations. Ceceilia and her sister Dorris provided the most heartwarming service - when I fell ill they did everything they could to help and in general were incredibly helpful booking us last minute tours, calling restaurants for bookings and providing us with a local mobile so that any question (or taxi service) can be answered at any time. The location is slightly out of the city centre but is only a $4US taxi fare one way so in my opinion was more than reasonable in relation to the comfort and service provided. Definitely recommend.

Perfect hidden retreat in a busy cityPosted May 12, 2012
Perfect hidden retreat in a busy city. The hosts welcomed us with open arms after a very long trek along the Inca Trail! Exhausted, starving and needing a shower badly, the owner went out of her way to make us grilled cheeses so we didn't have to go to bed hungry. In the morning our breakfast was perfect! The owner called us a cab and suggested places to hang in Cusco before flying back to the states. A great place to stay we were sad we had to leave so soon! But we will be back!

The only place to stay in Cusco!Posted Dec 20, 2011
I cannot recommend the Garden House more highly. Doris and Cecilia were wonderful hosts, the house is beautiful, the rooms well equipped, the beds and pillows amazing, the breakfast indulgent. Their restaurant recommendations were also spot on!

The Garden House, CuscoPosted Dec 3, 2011 on Hotels
We, 7 of us, ran out of hot water and had to schedule showers. I could not figure out how to run the heater (no thermostats) at night so was cold. The mattresses were hard. Three of us had to change rooms the last night to accomodate an incoming pair of people. Too far away from the action in the Cusco square at night. The best part was the service of the 2 owners who were very helpful with arrangements for tours and restaurants. Fortunately, we were only there to sleep and have breakfast.

I don't often quote surveys, as I have found that this is a very effective way of (a) convincing the outside world that I am a bona fide journalist, which would never do, given that it would (b) make sure I am inundated with an Inbox-crippling datanami of survey results about every who-gives-a-monkey's subject under the sun.
Nope, I prefer my information to be – at best – tittle-tattle bordering on whispered hearsay and, at worst, 24-carat unsubstantiated horse ploppings. It's so much easier to defend a stance when one's criteria are tissue-flimsy.
Anyway, given that autumn 2015 seems to be a time of previously unimagined happenings (what with Mars turning out to be what I always considered it to be, namely a great place to go jet-skiing), I shall break the habit of a career and go ahead and quote one of those pesky surveys.
The principal reason for this raising of ITR's famed drawbridge of statistical unaccountability is that this particular survey is so very close to home, being as it concerns my lovely wife, who has been on maternity leave since a couple of weeks before she manufactured our spectacular little boy, Fremulon. And, as junior grows into the substantial second row forward* which is surely his destiny, she is approaching the time when she is scheduled to go back to work.
*Being as the kid will qualify for England, Scotland and the mighty All Blacks (by virtue of my wife having lived in New Zealand for the requisite amount of time), it's not yet clear which colour jersey he will be honouring. Personally I don't care, as long as he dedicates every performance to his old man. And buys me a canary yellow 1967 Ford Mustang with the proceeds.
Anyway, back to mothers returning to work. A survey of 2,000 small businesses by the workspace provider Regus discovered that mothers who have gone back to work are perceived by their employers as organised and reliable, with a fifth of firms saying they would be more likely to take on a returning mother than they would have been a year ago. Good for them.
Furthermore, a mammoth 71 per cent of bosses value mums for their experience and skills, their reliability and their organisational nous, which apparently puts the rest of the payroll in the shade.
As you would expect, these women were also said to be very hard-working and more caring as managers. Makes sense. They also possess a formidable drive to prove their worth, no doubt because of the crappy, mysogynistic press working mothers have been lumbered with over the past 50 years.
Now, whether or not this is just a bunch of less-than-fragrant equine doo-doo manipulated to get the name of the workspace provider in the paper is unclear.
But if these stats are true, it is a heartening sign that perhaps the worth of women as employees doesn't end (in the minds of their bosses, at any rate) when they reproduce. After all, every employer in the world had a mother, if not a father.

Black Shows Don't Sell Overseas? Maybe It's Not About Color
By Evette Champion
Sometimes it is hard to believe that a hit show in one country wouldn't do just as well in another, but it appears that is certainly not the case for Fox's hit show, Empire.
Although the show is still a relative success (even after the second season's dip in ratings) in the US, it doesn't do nearly as well in other countries. In fact, the show doesn't hit anywhere near the numbers overseas as it does here.
Some would argue that it is the all black cast that is the problem. Marion Edwards, the president of international TV at Fox said he tried to warn American Fox TV that by having an all-black homosexual cast won't bode well.
"These shows are a reflection of our society, but [they are] not a reflection of all societies. Having a diverse cast creates another hurdle for U.S. series trying to break through; it would be foolish not to recognize that. We are telling our units that they need to be aware that by creating too much diversity in the leads in their show means … problems having their shows translating to the international market," Edwards said.
However, on the other hand, Edwards also states that American shows with an all-black, heterosexual cast like Black-ish and Cosby did well and "broke all the rules of international television."
"Those shows and the success of the original Roots mini-series proved there is an interest in black stories abroad," says Timothy Havens, a professor in African-American studies.
Perhaps, an even more plausible story for Empire's lack of overseas love may be because American television shows have too many story arcs to stretch the length of 18 episodes in a season, and the international audiences would much rather watch a procedural or even a sitcom. So in other words, our complex story lines can be confusing for even the most intelligent Europeans.
What do you think is the real reason some of our shows don't do so well internationally, Reel Nation? Let us know in the comments below.
Because it's about what happens in American not so much in other countries. We are the leading country in the entertainment industry. We have made entertainment our priority. So therefore people lose interest and probably can't relate ….whereas family shows, more people can relate because most everyone has experienced being in or have a desire to be in a family.
Besides. I thought Empire did do well. The media. It conflicts w itself and twists things out of context so much that you can't believe everything you read.
Well when you use this a s a standard as a Black show, it will never sell. this kinda is something that began with whites, so naturally they are more comfortable with this format, if they are involved
I think the story lines push homosexuality more than is necessary so that turns many people off. I have known about homosexuality as I attended high schopl in the sixties with many teens who identified as gay. The fact is there are homosexuals in every group of animals so it is not necessary to patade rhem around like carnival acts. This season is better so far, but one doesn't have to watch these people simulating what goes on to understand that it is some people's lifestyle.
How about the show is not doing well or is not popular because it puts Black in a bad light? I watched the show the first season just to give it a chance. But I put in the same category as those reality shows. I cringe when I think of other countries watching us wanting to know if that is all Black culture in the US is about. A lot of people argue that it's reality and it's about time they put something on television that Black folk are familiar with…that plenty of kids have at least 1 parent in prison. We are pushing us backwards. We are aware that our kids many times believe that the only way to make it out of being poor is becoming a pro ball player or becoming a rap star. This show enforces that mentality and the fact that it is ok for everybody to do a little jail time. It's normal in our lives. If you do nothing else, look at who Rupert Murdoch is. Why would he back this show? And Lee Daniels did an interview and chuckled over the fact that his Black adopted kids have seen "The Diary of Anne Frank" many time over thanks to his Jewish ex-lover. But have never seen "Roots?" How is that acceptable? As a Black mother, I would not give that person the time of day. and it runs of FOX! Seriously people?! Even the "Willie Lynch Letter" was all about psychology. But we don't believe in it and we fall for it. We could be focused on how to keep our kids from dying by their own hands and police brutality. But we're busy. Empire is on….. smh
I'm sorry, I got stuck on the comment about, "too much diversity in the leads." I love how these people never seem to think that having too many white folks in lead roles is a problem because everyone wants to see them, right? And, since racism towards people of color, especially black folks, is prevalent everywhere, why should we assume that race isn't the issue. Why do they try so hard to try to make us believe that it is NEVER about race? We know that black movies don't sell in Asia and studies have found them to dislike black folks more than even white folks do. What is wrong with the truth?
This article is complete bullshit! This is political propaganda. Empire took the whole world by a storm when it debuted last year in January 2015. It did very well in foreign markets and as a matter of fact, they were actually more appreciative of Empire as art than America was. Over here in the states Empire production struggled and continues to struggle with colorism and class and cultural warfare. The producers and network almost tanked the show because of America's hidden cultural caste systems and the insane need to hold on to negative strongholds about blackness and urban life. When they brought the show back for season 2, this past fall, September 2015, the show was markedly different and it offended so many people that true Empire aficionados stopped watching in droves from the first episode of the second season up to the end of the Season 2 hiatus. The overseas Empire market probably followed suit with the American viewing audience and stopped watching when the producers and network tried to "kill" the show earlier this season. The Epic, iconic reality that is Empire is so good and so exciting that many of us came right back with the first episode after the break which aired on March 30th, here in the states. BTW, episode 11, S2, did not disappoint. It was Vintage Empire.
See this portion of Dana's comment above a la Marketing 101: "TV channels generally do not finance TV shows that appeal to black audiences or buy them abroad …. If a 'black show is picked up, it is …aired on channels that people have to pay extra for". Aggressive NICHE marketing targeted towards that specific demographic. Creative push methods also might tip the scale in favor of increased acceptability. Lastly, the article appears in need of an upgrade to reflect a more precise conclusion based upon facts, research, and statistics.
What so important about a bunch of TV shows depicting KneeGrowpeans , whose Amerikkkanization process has led us to being as empty as their beloved enemy- white brothers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anybody know if tv shows Black-ish, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder are being broadcast in African countries? If so, are the ratings for those shows doing well in African countries? I would like to know that information.
As a non-African American/ Afro-Eurocaribbean woman reading this article I feel that this article/ analysis is incorrect about a number of things and lacking several points.
1. Europe has a large black community with people coming from places like Nigeria, Guyana, Trinidad, Brazil, Ghana, South-Africa etc etc. Besides the black community there are also other large non-white communities. So when it comes to diversity, the American tv shows do reflect the diversity that is also present in Europe.
2. What the article is overlooking is that even though the black community is of a significant size, black people in Europe are lacking general representation in the media. TV Channels generally do not finance tv shows that appeal to black audiences or buy them abroad. For instance Scandal wasn't picked up in The Netherlands till season 2 started airing in the US and they only picked up 1 season.
3. If in the slim change a 'black show' is picked up, it is most often aired on Channels that people have to pay extra for. Therefore if people would like to see the shows they make use of other ways of getting the shows. In my circles shows like How to Get Away with Murder, Black-ish, Being Mary Jane, Scandal and Empire are closely followed but their views are not recorded.
So these are my 2 cents 🙂
Good analysis Dana.
Because they suck?

"Our nation is at a crossroads—morality is being legislated by the courts, traditional values are being tossed aside in the name of "progress," and many Christians seem to have taken the New Testament concept of being "in the world but not of the world" to the extreme, hiding their heads in the sand until they have no relevant foundation upon which to stand and spread the gospel.
In The Law and the Gospel, William J. Brannan calls on us as active participants in our faith to not sit idly by, to stand up for our godly principles in ALL areas, including politics, science, technology, and the arts. Using insightful commentaries and sound doctrinal references, Brannan presents the case that it is our duty as ever-growing Christians to engage "the world" and offer an alternative to the doctrines of darkness and sin being presented as the norm in order to be the beacons of faith we are meant to be."
