(DGR takes over The Rearview Mirror again, with a look back at the Finnish band Wolfheart — and it's not the one you're probably thinking of.)
When prolific Finnish musician Tuomas Saukkonen launched a new solo project entitled Wolfheart in 2013, there was a small part of my brain that fired and said there had been a Wolfheart before — which was true; there have actually been a couple of them. But I quickly wrote off the hunch as a misfiring neuron, which has pretty much been shown to be the basis of this site.
Why it mattered to me that there had been a Wolfheart prior to the formation of the current excellent Wolfheart is a question that would go unanswered for some time, until I remembered that the other Wolfheart had been a project launched by a couple of the members in Charon — and then it all made sense, as I am a fan of Charon, albeit in an ass-backwards sense because I didn't really check them out until an eternity after Poisonblack had launched in the mid 2000s, it being the project of one of the main guys behind Sentenced, who hung it up in 2005.
There are only two songs on this new EP by the two-man Italian band Voids of Vomit. Only two songs… but they are so good that my only criticism of what V.o.V. have done is that they didn't do enough. Why couldn't they have made three songs? Or four? Or six?
I am speaking selfishly, of course. Suppressing my own selfishness, I should simply be grateful for these two tracks… and indeed I am. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have, because after another few paragraphs you will find our premiere of the two songs on Ritval Expiation.
I mentioned in a post earlier this week that I've been distracted during nights this week by a televised political convention (because I am a political junkie with low willpower), and I also had to make a quick out-of-town trip. Metal didn't wait for me while I was diverted, and so I have an immense list of new things from the last few days that I want to recommend. I've cut the list down to a mere 10 items, which I've collected here. Seriously, I'm aware that 10 is a lot, so I've choked back my usual desire to spill a lot of words.
I'm starting with two news items and then following those with 8 new songs or videos, presented in alphabetical order by the name of the artist.
I no longer subscribe to Revolver magazine. If I still had the subscription, I might have seen the full-page ad at the top of this post, which so far seems to be the only disclosure that Meshuggah's new album The Violent Sleep of Reason will be released by Nuclear Blast on October 7. Here's another fan pic of the ad:
Relapse Records launched their first podcast way back in February 2010, showcasing both brand new and classic tracks from Relapse artists, as well as exclusive interviews, and it's still going strong more than six years later. All of the podcasts since that first one are collected at the Relapse Records Podcast site (here), but beginning last month the podcast will now be hosted by a changing array of other platforms. Our friends at Invisible Oranges hosted Edition No. 43 in June, and this month NCS has the pleasure of providing a platform for No. 44 — and it's especially pleasurable for us because this podcast features an interview with one of our favorite heavy bands, Virginia's Inter Arma.
This edition of the podcast — which you can stream below and also download for listening at a later time — includes a big group of diverse new songs, including tracks by Red Fang, True Widow, Ringworm, Myrkur, The Album Leaf, Horseback, and Nothing, as well as songs by recent Relapse signees Survive, Integrity, Brain Tentacles, and Sumerlands. It also includes some older songs from the likes of Disembowelment and Human Remains, as well as classic tracks by Don Caballero and Revocation.
Daedalvs are a four-man death metal band from Charlotte, North Carolina, whose debut EP Apotheosis is being released today via Bandcamp, and we're helping spread the word by providing a full stream of the EP, and a few thoughts about the music.
What Daedalvs dish out is a mammoth, monstrous, skull-fracturing beatdown, a rumbling, crushing avalanche of booming jackhammering bass, clobbering atonal riffs, and thundering drums, overlaid with an effusion of harsh roars and wild, acid-spraying shrieks. But while the music's brute-force physical impact is certainly one of its main calling cards, it's not the only one.
Those of us who hunger for darkness in music find sustenance in particular forms of extreme metal, made by people who sustain themselves by making it. But sometimes the essence of pain, frustration, anger, isolation, and the defiant desire to throw off the yokes that both engender such feelings and restrain their expression can be captured in other ways. And sometimes the summoning of that essence comes from unexpected sources.
Which brings us to Mütterlein — a band named for a song on a 1970 album by the German musician and actress Nico; a band whose principal creative force Marion Leclercq (of the cult French act Overmars) has named Nico, The Cure, and Breach as the three main pillars of her widely varying influences; a band for whom krautrock and Shannon Wright seem to be as beloved as Sabbath and Tragedy; a band who caught the ear of Phil at Debemur Morti Productions and Blut Aus Nord's Vindsval, who together made Mütterlein's debut album Orphans of the Black Sun the first release of their new collaborative label Sundust Records.
(We welcome back Neill Jameson (Krieg) with the second installment of a multi-part post devoted to under-the-radar black metal releases worthy of greater attention. You can find Part 1 here.)
As we slog through the bullshit heat and humidity of the summer one could say the best activity to beat the heat is to stay indoors, shun your asshole friends who think hiking on the surface of the sun is enjoyable, grab a drink and bide your time listening to music. It's a good distraction and perfect excuse not to go outside and get skin cancer in the name of "fun in the sun".
This is the second part of my blathering about black metal releases you should listen to because I'm under the misguided impression that I have decent taste. This might turn into a three-part series because I keep thinking of random records at inopportune times like when my boss is trying to explain new vital procedures at work.
I have a confession to make: I'm a political junkie. For the good of my mental and emotional health, I wish I could cut back (there's no point in trying to quit), but right now I probably couldn't get clean if my life depended on it. I've been glued to the Democratic Party convention coverage the last two nights, which explains why we haven't had the usual volume of posts since the weekend. Things aren't likely to get back to normal until after this particular circus comes to an end.
I did manage to pull this round-up together this morning, as well as a hell of a premiere earlier today — and a bit later we will have another Neill Jameson post about black metal. I'll start with two citing news items and then move to some new song streams.
I still remember when I first heard the music of Khemmis at the Denver Black Sky festival in the summer of 2014. It was a real eye-opening experience. Even someone as half-witted as me could tell they were something special. Lots of other people figured that out last year when they heard the band's debut album, Absolution. And now we have a second album to look forward to, as revealed in an announcement late yesterday.
Approximately one month ago my comrade DGR spilled a lot of words at our site about a very exciting piece of news — the rising presence on the horizon of a new solo album by the phenomenal Hannes Grossmann, and the release of the first advance track from the album. Today we're delighted to bring you the premiere of a second song with an accompanying lyric video — "Hail Satan" (that's the name of the song, as well as our reaction to it) — and a reminder about the crowdfunding campaign that's necessary to put the entire album in our grasping hands.
For those who may only now be discovering Hannes Grossmann, he is a Nuremberg-based writer and producer who is probably best known as a drummer for such bands as Necrophagist, Obscura, Blotted Science, Alkaloid, and Hate Eternal. In addition to being an amazing musician, he was a principal songwriter for Obscura as well as a creative force in the remarkable Alkaloid, whose debut album The Malkuth Grimoire was one of 2015's best.
Two years ago, he released his first solo album The Radial Covenant, which was also financed through a crowdfunding campaign, and this new one is named The Crypts of Sleep.
Yesterday I loaded up a Seen and Heard round-up with music from 9 bands I had discovered in a single morning, most of them of the more obscure variety. Today I've again decided to focus exclusively on things I discovered through a whirlwind tour of our in-box and Facebook this morning, but this time the bands have a higher profile than yesterday's group. Of course, these things are relative; the odds are that none of the people you encounter today who aren't already your friends will have heard of any of these bands. And of course that is their loss.
This first item him me like a bolt from the blue. Although I haven't been regularly searching for news about 40 Watt Sun, I think in the recesses of my mind I just assumed we would never have another album by this particular project of Patrick Walker (ex-Warning) — but indeed we will, in less than three months' time.

When William Henry Miller left the small town of Barneveld New York outside of Utica to come to Cornell University in 1868, there was no architecture program.
Andrew Dickson White, Cornell's first president, took young Miller under his tutelage and the architecture program was born. Miller's love of the profession became apparent and with so many commissions, he didn't graduate from Cornell but went right to work practicing his craft.

IAG offers easier air connections to win EU support for bid
IAG has offered to connect passengers from Ireland with long-haul flights out of London operated by rivals in an attempt to allay European Union competition concerns over its bid for Irish carrier Aer Lingus Group, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
Shares in Aer Lingus fell slightly yesterday to €2.415 each, below the IAG offer price shareholders are due to vote on on July 16.
EU regulators said earlier in the week that IAG has offered a number of concessions aimed at winning regulatory approval for its planned takeover.
The offer to connect passengers to rivals' onward flights is aimed at reassuring Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Airway, in particular, sources said.
IAG has not made any offer to surrender London Heathrow slots of the combined group, said the people.
EU approval is needed for the merger to go ahead.
Elsewhere, the Greek crisis dominated sentiment. Signs of possible deal steadied markets yesterday and sent US bond yields to nine-month highs by curbing demand for safe-haven US debt.
Euro zone partners offered to release billions in frozen aid in a last-minute push to win Greece's acceptance for a cash-for-reform deal.
In Dublin, the Iseq index was among markets that lifted going into the weekend, closing up 0.31pc at 6,367, with rises also registered in Paris and Frankfurt, though London fell.
After its annual general meeting yesterday, shares in Providence Resources shot up 11.67pc to 33.5 cents each.
Bank of Ireland shares continued their recent rise, up 2.7pc to 38.1 cents each.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index was up 0.1pc after dropping earlier in the day. MSCI's all-country index dipped 0.1pc.

With the vacation season slowly but surely approaching, you have probably started planning out your vacation. Of course, the first thing you should decide on is the duration and the location of your vacation. Maybe you plan a long vacation, maybe a short one. Maybe you plan to go to the seaside, or visit a mountain resort? Take your time, and you will come up with the best choice. But, what about the other things you should consider? Have you planned out the things you are going to carry with you, and how to carry them? For this purpose, you are going to need the right suitcase. Most importantly, you are going to need a bag that is both sturdy, as well as lightweight, such as Rimowa.
The comfort of your dream journey and vacation heavily depends on the type and quality of your suitcase. It is imperative to have a suitcase that will allow you to easily carry all your clothes, toiletries and other items you are going to need. The modern lightweight suitcases have become extremely popular with travelers all across the globe, thanks to their durability, sturdiness, convenience, functionality, and, of course, light weight.
Large and heavy or small and lightweight
However, the choice of your preferred suitcase should mainly depend on the type of your vacation, as well as the amount and the type of luggage you are going to carry with you.
If you plan on visiting the hills or mountain resorts, your best option would be to take a heavier suitcase, since you will probably be carrying woolen clothes, and more clothes, in general.
If you have decided to go to the seaside for vacation, your best choice would be to take a lightweight suitcase, since you will most certainly carry much lighter clothes.
Benefits of lightweight suitcases
1. Weight
Lightweight suitcases weigh no more than 10 pounds and are quite small in size, usually no more than 30 inches. Although very light, these suitcases are also very durable, thanks to their design and materials used in their manufacturing process. Their specific design makes them highly flexible for packing, while at the same time, making them nearly indestructible. Most of these suitcases, especially the Rimowa ones, combine both the flexible soft-side luggage and the stable and durable hard-side luggage.
2. Security
These suitcases also excel when it comes to the security, as well. Each type of suitcase has its own, interesting and sophisticated locking system. Modern lightweight models are equipped with TSA locks, which are embedded directly into the structure of the suitcases, which will prevent anyone from tampering with them. TSA locks are combination locks that ensure that the zippers are safely locked up.
3. Mobility and navigation
Last, but not least, another important feature of these lightweight suitcases is the ease of navigation they offer. Each suitcase has a set of four wheels at its bottom. All four of the wheels are ball bearing types, which allow a full 360-degree turn. They are almost completely similar to the wheels found on the majority of office chairs but offer an even smoother experience than trackball mice.
Therefore, if you are interested in purchasing a sturdy and lightweight suitcase, make sure to check out the rimowa salsa air sale, and make your traveling experience a much more enjoyable one.

Add Martial Artists to the Database
Create a "lineage page" for any martial artist past or present. You will be allowed to upload a profile image, add some basic information about their life, the styles they studied, schools they attended, and where and when they lived.
It's important that we do not create duplicate entries for martial artists despite possible alternate spellings caused by the translation to English. For instance, creating a page for "Wong Long" would create a duplicate of the page for "Wang Lang" even though it may simply be an alternate spelling. THIS IS BAD. Please make sure to be diligent about searching for existing pages and alternate spellings before adding a new one.
Use the search tool to find out if someone already exists, and to make sure duplicate pages are not created, make sure to:
- Search for alternate spellings.
- Search for just the person's last name, or a part of their name.
- Search for the most common spelling.

Thankfully, there is absolutely no need to be scared of e-com; use it to your heart's content as long as you follow a few basic precautions.
Hemant Upadhyay
E-com is growing at a phenomenal pace due to its convenience and cost optimization – so much so that today more than 50 per cent airline bookings are done online. Yet, as with every other convenience, growing popularity has also brought along safety/security issues. Complaints like non-delivery of goods/services, poor quality and payment frauds are being received in ever-increasing numbers.
E-com can be broadly categorized into three verticals:
Online store of goods/services like IRCTC, homeshop18, indiatimes
Online auctions/bidding sites like auctions.snapbid.in, dealite.in
Online marketplace for buyers and sellers like Rediff shopping, tradus.com
Online consolidators/facilitators of goods/services like makemytrip, junglee.com
The banking and online payment sites normally involve only one entity for transactions and follow strict due diligence in securing their sites and transactions carried out on their sites. From the consumer's perspective, these sites are relatively secure/protected and a minimum of discipline on the part of consumers will protect his interest.
Stocks/Commodity trading sites involve three entities: namely the stock exchange/broker, the stockholding company, and the bank. These transactions are called close-ended. All these entities also take due care to protect their sites and transactions, and since all three entities are simultaneously involved (real-time transactions), transactions are tallied instantly and the risk to consumer is minimized. Hence, no consumer issues related to the e-commerce aspect are reported in this domain.
It's a somewhat different ballgame for the commonly understood e-com sites (sites engaged in buying/selling/auction of goods or services). These are relatively unsecure and happen to be the biggest source of consumer concerns.
The range of consumer complaints includes:
To mitigate risks and to make e-commerce the happy experience it is designed to be, only a few precautions and basic discipline are needed.
STEP 1: Preliminary verification
Step 2: During usage
Step3: After completion of transaction
with your records
with the receiver in case of money transfer
with your demat a/c, brokerage, bank for share transactions
with SMS/email for bank transactions
with SMS/email received for payments made for e-shopping from bank as well as e-shopping site
with physical receipt of goods/services ordered for e-shopping
Please do not be scared of online transactions. Just be alert, careful and disciplined. E-commerce is meant to be consumer-friendly and most convenient. So, let us make it so.

This application claims priority to provisional Application Ser. No. 60/496,948 filed Aug. 20, 2003.
This invention relates to apparatus and method for building microelectronic modules having one or two conductive faceplates, imprinting methods, and their application to blade servers and supercomputers.
Conventional printed circuit boards are constructed using copper signal planes laminated between glass-epoxy layers. Copper planes (foils) are also used for ground and for power supply voltages. For conventional epoxy laminate boards, trace and space dimensions are typically 100 microns each for a trace pitch of 200 microns, and hole diameters for plated through holes are typically 340 microns or more. More advanced boards are available from companies such as Unitive, Inc. of Research Triangle Park, N.C., USA. Unitive's boards employ BCB, a spin-on resin available from Dow Chemical Company, rather than glass-epoxy. For a copper trace thickness of 2-3 microns, these boards achieve trace widths as small as 12 microns and trace spacing as small as 13 microns; traces on different levels are connected using vias with a diameter of 35 microns and a pitch of 45-55 microns.
At 10 GHz the dielectric constant of BCB is 2.65 and its dissipation factor is 0.002. Its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is 52 ppm/� C., and its moisture uptake is 0.14% by weight (as reported by Dow Chemical). Moisture uptake is critical because small amounts of absorbed water can substantially raise the effective dielectric constant, and a higher dielectric constant may effectively prohibit high frequency operation. The CTE of copper is 17 ppm/� C.; various researchers list the CTE of silicon as 2.6-4.2 ppm/� C. The coefficients of thermal expansion are important because the manufacturing process typically requires thermal cycles, and mismatches in CTE between materials in a stacked configuration result in mechanical stresses that can damage the board, or components attached to it. Additional thermal cycling is typically present during operation of the board, but usually this variation is less than during manufacturing and assembly.
In recent years, imprinting methods have been developed for several products. An example is the compact disc (CD) that has been manufactured by pressing a master tool into a plastic material, leaving an imprint of the desired pattern. A feature size of one micron and a fabrication cost less than a dollar per square foot have been reported. For both integrated circuit manufacture and printed circuit board manufacture, the imprinting method has potential to be an inexpensive patterning method compared with current photolithographic patterning methods. Photolithography has been the mainstay of integrated circuit patterning for many decades; it generally requires highly sophisticated tools for projecting a beam of light through a mask onto photosensitive materials. A fabrication facility to process silicon wafers by this method typically costs more than US$1 B today. By contrast, imprinting requires unsophisticated tools, yet it can produce fine features, smaller than 100 nanometers in some applications. The tools required for imprinting generally include a laminating press with provisions for aligning the layers, and for heating the thermoplastic material to be patterned. Cold embossing has also been developed using glass tools with embossed features etched therein, and UV curable dielectrics.
Electroplating is typically used to build up the copper layers, and chemical/mechanical polishing (CMP) is preferably used for planarizing each layer after plating. Imprinting and CMP methods can be combined to implement a dual damascene process using copper as the conductor material. Dual damascene processes are known in the art; "dual" refers to the fact that two depths of copper are implemented: trenches used for creating traces have a lesser depth than cylindrical holes for vias. The combination of tools for imprinting, plating and CMP may cost less than 1% of the cost of equivalent photolithographic tools. Other conductors may be used instead of copper, but copper offers a compelling combination of good electrical and thermal conductivity, adequate mechanical properties (especially in the form of dispersion strengthened copper, to be further discussed), and an infrastructure of existing tools and processes for drilling, electroplating, etching, and polishing at reasonable cost.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) panel fabrication plants are now being built for glass panels measuring 1870�2200 mm. The thickness of these glass panels is 0.7 mm, similar to the preferred thickness of 0.6 mm for copper substrates of the current invention. This means that an infrastructure of semiconductor processing equipment, particularly including thin film coating and etching equipment could be adapted to handle copper substrates in panel sizes up to around 2 meters square. This may be useful for coating thin film adhesion layers and seed layers on large panels of the current invention, and for plasma etching dielectric materials, as will be further described. The photolithographic patterning capability for large panels, generally employing step and repeat exposure systems ("steppers"), may also be used for fabricating the embossing tools described herein.
The preferred method of imprinting discussed herein uses an embossing tool in the form of a flexible foil, hereinafter called a "toolfoil". It is also possible to use rigid embossing tools, particularly if release agents are applied to the tool to aid in separation; also if the impressions are shallow they require a relatively small force for release. A release agent comprised of low surface energy material such as teflon is also preferably provided on the toolfoils discussed herein. One method of making a toolfoil is to electroplate nickel in an additive process to create a master or "father" foil. The sidewalls of the plated features preferably have an angle of about 5� to the vertical. This release angle is useful so that negatives of fathers can be made to produce "mothers", and negatives of mothers are made to produce "sons", which are the equivalent of photo-tool working plates. Suitable toolfoils can be obtained from Tecan Components Ltd., Dorset, England. If the toolfoil is used to implement a dual damascene process, then two nickel thicknesses are required and two photo-tools (glass masks) will be used in the fabrication of the master.
An alternative embodiment of the imprinting method may be used for large patterns that require a step and repeat methodology. Molecular Imprints of Austin, Tex., USA, has developed a step and flash imprint lithography process called S-Fil. In this process, a substrate is coated with an organic planarization layer. Then a low viscosity photo-polymerizable imprint solution is dispensed on the surface. A surface treated transparent template bearing patterned relief structures is aligned over the coated substrate. The template is lowered into contact with the substrate, thereby displacing the solution, filling the imprint field, and trapping the photo-polymerizable imprint solution in the template relief. Irradiation with UV light through the backside of the template cures the solution. The template is then separated from the substrate leaving a relief image on the surface that is a replica of the template pattern. A short halogen etch is used to clear any remaining thin webs of undisplaced material. A subsequent reactive ion etch into the planarization layer may be used to amplify the aspect ratio of the relief image.
Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a new dielectric material that has recently become available for imprinting applications in the printed circuit board arena. An example of this material is R/Flex 3800 available from Rogers Corp., Circuit Materials Division, Chandler Arizona. It is available with a CTE matched to copper at 17 ppm/� C. Melting points of 280� C. and 315� C. are available, with thickness varying from 25 microns to 100 microns. From 1-10 GHz the dielectric constant is 2.9 and the dissipation factor is 0.002. The moisture uptake is 0.04% by weight (compared with 0.14% for BCB), resulting in good stability for high frequency applications.
Dispersion strengthening is a method for improving the strength properties of copper, without seriously affecting its electrical and thermal conductivity. Cold rolled sheets of dispersion strengthened copper (DSC) known as Glidcop are available from SCM Metal Products, Inc., North Carolina. For use as a substrate for a printed circuit of the current invention, this material is available in thickness ranging from 125-625 microns. By incorporating minute amounts of aluminum oxide to pin the grain boundaries of the copper, the yield strength of DSC is typically improved by about 10 times, while the thermal and electrical properties are degraded by less than 1%.
Electroplating methods are well known in the art. Current processes support fabrication of via structures with aspect ratios (depth:diameter) as great as 10. Using layered plating solutions and sophisticated power supplies including reverse pulse biasing, void-free plated structures are achievable.
CMP is also well known in the art. A substrate to be polished is held in a polishing chuck so that typically one third of its edge dimension extends below the chuck. A polishing slurry is provided between the exposed surface and a rotating wheel having a finely textured surface; the substrate may simultaneously rotate and orbit in a planetary motion with respect to the wheel. The desired result is a polished planar surface with clearly defined copper features embedded in the dielectric resin.
Modern computer circuits such as multi-chip modules for computer server applications typically operate at GHz frequencies and with large power supply currents at low operating voltages: 200 amps at 1.0V is a typical requirement. Cooling of the module is a critical issue, and building such circuits on a copper substrate can help address the cooling requirements. In addition, a "copper sandwich" will be described having integral copper plates at both the top and bottom of the assembly for improved ruggedness and better thermal access to the heat-producing chips.
Flip chip assembly is generally recognized as the most advanced assembly method in terms of system density and performance. It enables bare integrated circuit (IC) chips to be assembled, in preference to packaged parts. The chips can have area arrays of input/output (I/O) bonding pads, rather than just at the chip periphery. Inductance of these chip-to-board connections is substantially lower than that of wire bonds, and power pins can be located close to the circuit blocks that need the power. Advanced flip chip assembly methods have recently been reported. One such method is to provide gold stud bumps on the IC chips, and corresponding wells filled with solder on the board. This structure supports pad pitches of 100 microns or less and also routine replacement of defective die using a rework process.
There have been two major impediments to the integration of large systems that are exclusively or primarily assembled using flip chip assembly methods: the inability to effectively test such a system (particularly a functional test at full system speed), and the inability to rework defective chips in the assembly. For these reasons, many flip chip assemblies have been limited to 10 IC chips or fewer, because the cost of scrapping defective assemblies becomes prohibitive with a greater number of chips. Solutions to these problems have been recently proposed. Firstly, a special-purpose test chip or chips may be provided on the board under test; working together with a test support computer this chip can provide the means to functionally test the module at full system speed. The test chip preferably includes high speed sampling circuits and comparators that are under control of the support computer. The support computer performs low speed testing chores such as boundary scan and loading of test files, and also hosts diagnostic software for aiding a test operator in determining which chips need to be replaced, if any. Secondly, the proposed variation of flip chip assembly allows effective rework of defective chips. In summary, the rework method is as follows. The board is placed on a hot plate and the temperature is raised to a level just below the melting point of the solder in the wells (the preferred melting point of the preferred In:Ag solder is 143� C.). Then a rework wand emitting hot inert gas is directed at the backside of the defective chip; the solder in the wells melts for this chip, but not for neighboring chips that are not defective. Focused infra red systems have also been deployed for heating the area local to a single chip without melting the solder of surrounding chips. After the solder of the defective chip is molten, the stud bumps are withdrawn from the wells, the surface is inspected and cleaned as necessary, the wells are touched up with additional solder paste as required, and a replacement part is picked, flipped, aligned, and inserted. After re-flowing the solder for the replacement part and validating the assembly with another module test, the rework cycle is complete. There is preferably no epoxy under layer beneath the defective chip (whose removal would be labor intensive, difficult, and potentially damaging to the board). Also, there are no delicate traces around or near the I/O pads that can be damaged during the rework process; the receiving terminal becomes the solder paste in the well rather than the pad. Finally, the materials used easily tolerate the rework temperatures. These factors result in a rework procedure that may be repeated as many times as necessary, enabling the integration of systems comprising hundreds or thousands of IC chips, assembled onto a single monolithic high performance substrate (or blade). This high level of integration in turn enables supercomputer architectures of the current invention.
The purpose of the epoxy under layer between chip and board is to prevent mechanical failure such as cracking that can arise from stresses accompanying temperature excursions that occur during manufacturing or operation. Part of the justification for eliminating this under layer in the proposed flip chip mounting structure is that the preferred arrangement of gold stud bumps inserted into wells filled with solder is mechanically stronger (shear forces can not easily detach a stud bump from its pad or a well from its pad). Because the stud bumps are formed from gold, and because gold is one of the most ductile materials, and because the proposed stud bumps have a pointed shape, the proposed structure is also more mechanically compliant than previous structures such as solder balls re-flowed onto matching lands. In addition, the low melting point of the proposed indium based solder (143� C.) results in lower thermal strains than would occur with commonly used solders that melt at higher temperatures (63:37 Sn:Pb solder melts at 183� C.). Even with this improved flip chip attachment it may be necessary to limit the maximum chip size in the proposed assembly structures, to limit the stress imposed.
For interconnecting modules, module access cables have been proposed that use a similar arrangement of stud bumps and wells as described for attaching the IC chips. These module access cables can support pin pitches of 100 microns or less, and should be re-workable using the same method as outlined for reworking the IC chips.
The current invention is intended to address the need for microelectronic assemblies that support operating frequencies of the order of 10 GHz (data rates of the order of 10 Gbps), and power supply currents of several hundred amps. An alternative application is to make lower performance electronic assemblies (sub 1 GHz) less expensively than using current printed circuit board and assembly methods.
The preferred embodiment has a base copper layer for mechanical support. A method is described for fabricating feedthroughs in the copper substrate for signals and power. By alternately fabricating layers of dielectric resin and copper conductors, a printed circuit with multiple power and signal planes is built up. Imprinting is used to pattern the layers, preferably using nickel toolfoils. A special assembly layer is preferably fabricated on top of the interconnection circuit wherein a well filled with solder paste is provided at each I/O pad of the board. IC chips are provided with a gold stud bump at each of their I/O pads, and the chips are assembled onto the board by inserting the stud bumps into the wells, then melting the solder to form mechanical and electrical connections. In the preferred embodiment, no epoxy under layer is used between the IC chips and the board. After all the chips are assembled, tested, and reworked as required, a top copper plate may be attached to the backsides of the assembled IC chips, to make a robust mechanical, electrical and thermal package at the module level.
An alternate embodiment supports fabrication of modules such as multi-chip modules (MCMs) or system in package (SIP) devices that are integrated onto a motherboard. The motherboard may be a conventional board employing glass-epoxy laminate for example, or a large interconnection circuit fabricated on a copper substrate using methods described herein. For either case, the copper substrate of the attached module is preferably provided with feeds for power and signals that pass through it and connect to the motherboard, typically on a 1 mm grid.
In the preferred embodiment, imprinting is used to pattern thermo-plastic dielectric layers, and copper conductors are employed. LCP is the preferred dielectric material and DSC is the preferred form of copper for the base layer. After CMP has been used to polish and planarize the surface of a preceding layer, the following sequence summarizes the steps to form the next pair of interleaved dielectric and conducting layers:
A variation of this imprinting procedure will be described for forming the special assembly layer having wells at each of the I/O pads of the interconnection circuit. "Imprinting" and "embossing" are used interchangeably in this application.
These techniques are employed to create copper-faced modules configured as blade servers, plus their integration into liquid-cooled supercomputers of the current invention.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the following accompanying drawings.
The copper-faced modules described herein can be integrated into servers and supercomputers to provide greater functional density and better cooling than have been available to date.
As previously discussed, a semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure exists for flat panels as large as 2 meters on a side. In principle, large toolfoils could be fabricated for imprinting such a large panel in one step; the photo-imaging of such a large toolfoil area could be accomplished using a stepper exposure system, employing photolithographic exposure systems already in service for LCD manufacture. If this is done, the preferred dielectric material (LCP) can be used and high frequency circuits can be produced in large panels using a single imprint cycle. Alternatively, imprinting of large panels can be achieved using a step and repeat imprinting process like the S-Fil process already described.

Do they even carry those down there? When is the best time to go. It's about a 40 minute drive and I was thinking about going down tomorrow. Sorry for all of the questions but I'm new here and to the brand. I've always wanted one but I just couldn' justify the cost. My husband said if I wanted one he would get me one for Christmas (we all ways buy each others gift after Christmas). Thanks for your help

Ani Haas Will Fight You, Even If You're A BearAugust 2nd, 2011 by Endswell in Videos
Former US Olympic ski team member Ani Haas was jogging in Missoula, Montana when a black bear defending her two cubs attacked. While playing dead is usually recommended for dealing with grizzly bears, if you encounter a black bear, it's best to just hope that Ani Haas is around when it happens. NMA

I am completely overwhelmed by the enormous heartfelt response to my Behind My Smiles post. Your supportive comments, messages and e-mails have absolutely brought back some of the colour and energy that had been drained by the struggles I'm experiencing in my "real life".
I have been putting my renewed energy to good use and have been hard at work trying to make connections and build a network that will allow me to create the most reliable and achievable solution possible at this time.
So many of the comments, messages and e-mails I have gotten since my post was published have been thanking me for letting them know that they are not alone in their own struggles and that my hard work, humour and tenacious attitude on my blog has kept them going and brightened their days. This and the realization that although I may be isolated I am not alone has lifted my spirits and given me back some of the energy I had lost.
Pardon the extreme cheeziness but the theme song to this classic 80's tear-jerker pretty much sums it all up:
I am grateful for all of your kind thoughts and have come up with a few ideas that, while not permanent solutions, might just provide enough of a cushion to allow us to start fresh in a healthy environment.

Find BOS Australia on:
In 2001, BOS Indonesia, led by BOS founder Dr Willie Smits, started purchasing land near Wanariset.
The 2000 ha area it acquired had been deforested and was covered in alang-alang grass.
The aim was to restore the rainforest and provide a safe haven for rehabilitated orangutans while at the same time providing a source of income for local people.
The name of this reserve is the "Samboja Lestari Project", roughly translated as the "everlasting conservation project of the Samboja district".
The reserve is divided into three zones:
Since 2001, the land has been planted with more than a million trees covering more than 1000 different species.
The alang alang grass was killed as it was shaded out with fast-growing acacia trees which could then be harvested and used in construction.
With the growth in the forest, the density and diversity of wildlife returned. So far 137 bird species and nine primate species have been recorded.
Air temperature has fallen by 3 to 5 degrees centigrade, cloud cover increased by 12% and rainfall by 20-25% with the forest cooling the atmosphere and attracting rain clouds.
The Orangutan Reintroduction Project at Wanariset has moved to Samboja Lestari with just over 200 orangutans now living there.
Several Forest Schools provide natural, educational playgrounds for the orangutans in which to learn forest skills before returning to cages to sleep at night.
A Clinic and Quarantine area has been established as well as many new forest cages for larger orangutans and a Babies' Room for the little ones.
Six orangutan islands have been created to accommodate orangutans suffering chronic hepatitis B or other disabilities which prevent them from ever being released into the wild.
Samboja Lestari is also the home to 46 sun bears. To read more about the sun bear sanctuary, click here.
The local people are gaining both financially and environmentally.
They receive income from the sale of the land, from salaries working in the rehabilitation area, from money made by selling the fruits and vegetables grown in between the planted trees, money from the sugar palm activities and from the salary they receive every month for protecting the area.
However they also benefit through less fire hazards, improved health conditions, the creation of local industries, year-round supply of better water for irrigated rice fields and less flooding or severe water supply problems during wet and dry seasons.

Xochi Solis (b. 1981) is an Austin, TX-based artist sharing her studio time between Texas and Mexico. Her works include multilayered, collaged paintings constructed of paint, hand-dyed paper, vinyl, plastics, and images from found books and magazines. Solis considers the repeated act of layering a meditation on color, texture, and shape all leading to a greater awareness of the visual intricacies found in her immediate environment. She received her B.F.A. in Studio Art from the University of Texas in 2005. In 2016, Solis held a residency at Pele Prints in St. Louis, MO and in 2013 was a resident artist at Arquetopia in Oaxaca, MX learning to work with natural pigments. Solis is one of 30 artists featured in the book Collage: Contemporary Artists Hunt and Gather, Cut and Paste, Mash Up and Transform (Chronicle Books, 2014). In addition to her studio practice, she is an active member of the collectively run project space MASS Gallery and spins records with the Chulita Vinyl Club.

girl I met we chilled made out an shit, but I wasn't dating but talking to another girl.well for 6 months I seen this girl about once or twice a week.always saying how she wanted me but I blew it off because I didn't know what was happening with the other girl.well I finally quit seeing the girl I was talking to an asked the other out an she said she would love to but wanted to see how school goes.so okay that's cool.well we seen each other bout 3 more times then she called me an told me she had a b.f.well 2-3 months went by an I thought bout her everyday then found out she got engaged then got a message sayin she can't stop thinking bout me an didn't realize how much she loved me until I was gone.i want her she's everything I want in a girl.but she's engaged.i don't know what 2 do?
Girl engaged but loves me?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
Well, first of all- remember that she's engaged. Before you take any action you definitely need to talk to her. If she is willing to put her engagement on the line, what makes you think she is going to stay faithful to you? I just think that starting another relationship while one is already in one is never a good idea, because there's a good chance that you are no different from the last person. But. it's worth talking about because if you truly do like this girl as much as you say and she likes you as well than the first step is talking to her and see what she wants to do about this. I just think it's weird that she's engaged because if she really "loves" you like she says she does than she wouldn't be engaged. I mean, how can you tell someone that while you are engaged to someone else? You need to talk to her and make sure that you don't get into a relationship with someone who has a significant other or baggage because it will make your relationship unnecessarily complicated.00|00|0

ATLANTA -- A day of confusion Monday followed the state Senate's late-night decision last Friday to give up on drawing new congressional maps and go home.
But by day's end, Senate leaders appeared willing to consider rejoining the House, which refused to quit and plans to resume the General Assembly's redistricting session Wednesday.
"The lieutenant governor will consider bringing members of the Senate back for one day only later this week," said David Sutton, spokesman for Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor, who presides over the Senate.
If the Senate refuses to return, Gov. Roy Barnes could call for another special session or the General Assembly could revisit the issue when they convene for their regular session in January.
If neither happens, U.S. congressional would be drawn by federal judges.
Democratic leaders, who control both chambers of the legislature, made some progress Monday.
Taylor, Barnes and House Speaker Tom Murphy met twice Monday, according to Capitol sources, and reached their own agreement on a new congressional map.
The legislature convened last month to redraw congressional lines based on population changes that showed up in the 2000 Census. Because of growth in the state, lawmakers were adding two new U.S. House districts to the existing 11 seats.
An all-Democrat committee stalled Friday when they wouldn't reach consensus.
Senators agreed to end the session after more than a week of tense talks by a House-Senate conference committee. Moments later, the House voted to continue the session on Wednesday.
House members were holding out for a new middle Georgia district and a bid backed by Murphy, D-Bremen, that would hurt controversial Atlanta-area Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Barr.
Senate members were trying to keep three districts in south Georgia, at the urging of Taylor, and keep Athens in an east Georgia seat that would run to parts of Augusta and Savannah.
Committee members worked until past midnight on Thursday and resumed work about 8:30 a.m. on Friday.
Their public meetings, spaced out by closed-door sessions in which lawmakers huddled with Murphy, Taylor and other leaders, grew more testy as the hours wore on.
Thursday, Rep. Calvin Smyre, D-Columbus, lashed out at Senate members who were 45 minutes late to a scheduled meeting.
"If they don't care about doing the business of the people of this state, we do," Smyre said.
Later that day, Sen. Robert Brown, D-Macon, began openly mimicking Smyre's verbal and physical habits.
Despite the public posturing, though, lawmakers appeared to be nearing an agreement.
A majority of committee members had reportedly come to terms on a compromise plan when Barnes reportedly told his two Democratic floor leaders in the Senate to vote against it because not enough of his home county, Cobb, would go into a new, Democrat-friendly district.
Without those votes, leaders knew they didn't have enough support to win approval in the Senate.
"Thursday night, we were very, very, very close," said Sen. Tim Golden, D-Valdosta, the Senate's redistricting committee chairman. "Then, a certain person got involved in it and sort of knocked the train off the tracks. That's why we weren't able to do anything Friday."
Barnes brushed off such comments.
"Criticism is in the job description of the governor," he said. "I think things are said, particularly when folks are tired ... that they didn't mean or intend."
He denied locking down his floor leaders against the plan and defended his right to comment on the plan, which would have split Cobb County into four districts.
"I don't give up my rights as a citizen to voice what I consider to be a personal concern," he said.
Sutton said it appears the Senate is within its legal right to stay adjourned -- although questions about the move's legality swirled around the Capitol on Monday.
Golden said he'd prefer to do the work in January. He said lawmakers were mentally drained after being in session most days since Aug. 1.
Since then, they've drawn new state House and Senate maps and acted on a handful of issues -- including a video poker ban -- the Barnes added to the session.
"I really think it makes sense to let cooler heads prevail over the next few months," Golden said. "I really do think you need to let people decompress and let our minds refresh."

One of the very best parts of our family camp out is just hanging with cousins. When your family grows as large and as spread out as mine, this time to build family bonds is precious.
This year, the kids met their new, 15 year old cousin who was recently adopted from Ethiopia. Experiencing camp through his eyes made everything a little more amazing. He thinks we eat a lot of cheese.
P.S. Grandma made all the kids "I can be an Angel" t-shirts to go along with her lesson on giving service to those around us.
