mikem's Activity
mikem added a post in a topic Woodworking in AmericaI have done just the market place for several years, and had a good time. The vendor displays are usually very good, there are talks throughout the day, and then there is the hand tool olympics.
mikem added a post in a topic Kudos to Woodwerks.com Customer SupportIf you are ever in the Columbus Ohio area, their store is nothing short of awesome! Glad to hear they have equally good customer service.
mikem added a post in a topic Social media
With or without CC Mail?
mikem added a post in a topic Grizzly ContactGlad to hear Grizzly did the right thing.The one time I had to deal with Grizzly's customer service, I found it to be very positive as well. Will definitely buy other machines from them in the future.
mikem added a post in a topic Is it important to have the capability of using dado blades?I had a jobsite that I started out with, and almost 5 years ago, I bought a 113 series craftsman contractor saw from craigslist (cast iron top, induction belt drive motor), and paid about $100 for it. I put another $200 into with a fence and other updates. It has been a proven machine for me.
mikem added a post in a topic Setup/accessories for 14" bandsaw for just curvesFor the blade size, that is all I ever run in my 14" bandsaw, and I use it for curve cuts as well as all my straight cuts, including resawing.
mikem added a post in a topic Planer bed is not flatFlatten a face of a board on your jointer. Run the opposite face through a bunch of times on the planer. If the board comes out with both faces parallel and flat, it may be a non-issue.
mikem added a post in a topic ShellacAgreed, Shellac is more durable than many realize. I have used it on many projects, including a chisel rack and my router table. Has held up very well.
mikem added a post in a topic ShellacShellac isn't as durable as poly is, but that isn't to say it is a bad finish. It really depends on how much abuse you expect the book cases to get.
One benefit of shellac is that if it does get damaged, it is often as easy as applying another coat to fix.
I personally prefer shellac over poly.
mikem added a post in a topic New Bosch Jobsite saw w flesh detection coming !
Where did I say I hate Saw Stop? I happen to really like Bosch tools, as well as think the competition against Saw Stop will do nothing but benefit the consumer in the long run. As for unproven, was Saw Stop a "proven" cabinet saw when it was first released? Based on my own experience with Bosch tools I would feel safe buying a machine from them, and has nothing to do with hating the competitor.
For what its worth, I am not even at the point were I can seriously consider replacing my table saw. However, I have looked closely at the Saw Stop machines, and find them to be one of the best table saws on the market.
mikem added a post in a topic New Bosch Jobsite saw w flesh detection coming !I hope that bosch develops this tech in a cabinet or even a hybrid/contractor saw. I would seriously consider it if they did.
mikem added a post in a topic WIA 2015Rob! Good to hear from you! Alas, I am likely not going to make WIA this year as I am planning on attending Handworks instead.
mikem added a post in a topic New lathe is making a rattling noise...Sounds like a bearing to me.
mikem added a post in a topic aftermarket fence recommendationsI use the Delta T-2 on my saw, which is a small version of the Bies. I really like it. There are many T-Square style fences available that you maybe able to adapt your table saw for. The Vega and Shopfox fences are both viable options.
mikem added a topic in General Woodworking TalkDesktop Smartphone StandI have been wanting a place to set my smartphone at work, and came up with this very simple to make stand. Here is a YouTube video I put together for it:

Read more … Spring Sale Priolite Hot Sync
Priolite Hot Sync text by Christian Anderl
"Fast movement with shutter speeds between 1/2500 and 1/8000 were no problem at all, and even with sunlight in the back, the 500ws from the MBX500 were just enough to get quite good shots. [...] In Portrait photography it is also great to have the ability to shoot with short shutter speeds sometims. Using the Canon 1Dx with the 85/1.2 at f2.2 needed shutter speeds about 1/6400 to 1/8000 in sunlight. To get the shutter speed down to 1/200 or 1/250 we would have needed a ND filter. Not that this is so bad, but Autofocus doesn´t like ND filters too much, at f2.2 you should be very exact with the focus and you want to see what you are shooting. With the MBX500 it was just much easier to get these shots with wide open aperture without any ND filters attatched. [...] But so far – this is a great strobe, filling the gap between expencive high speed strobes and small on Camera Flashes. No Cable, internal Battery, very portable. Shutter speeds up to 1/8000 are no problem for the MBX500 Hot sync. It works great, didn´t leave us hanging at any point (Even if we didn´t treat it too good to be honest and the wind was really cold up there)."

These are just what I wanted. They stay pulled up and do not slide down as some do.
These socks are awesome! Very comfy and constructed well. They really seem like they will last a good amount of time. The fit is very snug and in cold weather, they keep my feet warm. Great product.
The package said 6 pairs assorted colors, I was hoping for "colors." You get 3 white and 3 black pair. The feet are somewhat padded, and the toes and heals are even more so. They are comfortable but I thought they would be bigger. I bought the larger size.
I only recommend these to women with slim or average legs. Although they fit 9-11 shoe size, they are not comfotable on larger legs.
I needed new socks and so I bought the Hanes socks and they fit great and when I need more I will definitely buy this brand.
These are the first socks that actually fit my feet without being a little too long. They come in 2 sizes and I purchased the smaller ones. So far they wash up well.
Warm and comfortable. Best of all no seam over the toes which often becomes uncomfortable in boots.
It's doesn't take long for these socks to get worn at the heel.
Very comfy and even stay up like they're supposed to.Love these socks!
These socks are comfortable and hold their elasticity. I wear steel toe boots 12hrs a day and the socks keep your feet dry.
These are well made socks and fit my size 12 foot well. I would highly recommend them.
these stay put and don't slide down which is great in my riding boots! they are a little thinner which is what i was looking for, will be ording more soon! sizing is great, i wear a size 12 womans shoe so often have a hard time finding socks that fit right...only wish they came in more colors but guess i should be happy with black & white :)
I love that they offered dark socks online finally, other than that the sock are very comfortable and fit great, they are Hanes so you cant go wrong with this purchase.
I ordered socks and received socks. Average service, nothing spectacular or excellent.
The size fits exact. I don't like the material. The material scratchs my hands and feet.
I am happy with this purchase. I wear them with my clogs on the night shift and they aren't too bulky but keep my feet warm. Good deal, good fit, good quality.
The socks are very comfortable.
I bought these socks for my mother-in-law. She is tall and has a difficult time finding socks that fit right or that she likes. She lives in Ohio where they have cold weather. She liked the socks very much.
This actually exceeded my expectations for simple socks. Cost is reasonable.
Not only does it's job, but padding is very cushy, fabric warm, and fit comfy.

Nintendo 3DS To Get Price & Release Date In September
Gaming 271 Views
Attention! The Nintendo 3DS is being released…well, there's a release date for that announcement. That's all I can tell you. Sorry folks, that's how hype in the electronics industry works. A Nintendo spokesperson has announced September 29th as the date we'll learn the pricing and release date of the 3DS — my guess is that it will probably arrive sometime before Christmas and be less than $300, but it could be March at the latest. Until then, just salivate over images of the 3DS and think about Mario in 3D.

Historical Traveler Reviews Celebration World Resort Kissimmee
Little to Celebrate
We stayed at Celebration for a week last May 2003, I was also disappointed in the so called resort. First of all the complex is too small to be called a resort, when i booked the room i was told i would have a king size bed and when we arrive the king shrinks into a full size. Only one pool for the kids and adults. The workout room if your not a owner you have to pay to use it, location could have been better.
No activities what so ever anywhere. Staff was very courteous, but i would never stay there again.
Picky picky
You people are so picky! My goodness, listen to you! You are making a perfectly nice resort hotel sound like a one-star dump! This is a wonderful place to stay, especially when you can get a rate of only $25 a night (cheaper than most one and two star hotels/motels) just for listening to some time-share promo and getting a free breakfast. ---
Good... if you get it at a discount
My husband and I stayed at Celebration after getting a rate of $25 online, agreeing to the promotional pitch in return. You can get other hotels in Orlando for $25, but this is a lot nicer. On the other hand, I would not pay full price for it and had no interest in buying. Pros: Close to attractions, pool and hot tub never busy (at least in winter months), kitchen and laundry in room. Cons: Thin walls. You can hear everything outside and a lot inside. Air conditioner didn't work well.
No maid service. Not a lot of recreation options yet. We were very disappointed that our one-bedroom did not come with a jacuzzi tub. We saw a diagram online of the rooms and it showed one, but we just had a standard tub/shower. Not being "wowed" with the hotel like we had hoped, we attempted to check out early on our five-day reservation, but we would not be getting a refund on the unused days, so we just stayed.
Like I said, it was fine, but just... fine. I would have expected the resort to make the rooms fancier to intice people to buy in. The timeshare pitch was two hours and our salesman was very nice, but they are persistent. We told him no and were not bothered again for the rest of our stay. I would only stay here again if I was getting the low promotional rate.
This is no resort
This place only has a name and nothing to back it. There were not enough services provided for example we had to call for linen after the 3rd day and no one ever came to clean the rooms. No entertainment for the kids it was like a ghost town. I'll never go there again.
I wish I was not an owner!
I unfortunately bought into this resort before it was completed and it was the biggest mistake. If I had any words of advise to someone planning a trip for fun in the area it would be to check in somewhere (anywhere) else!
The hidden secret
I found the resort to be one of the hidden secrets of Florida's resorts. The people treated my family with great hospitality and honesty. We stayed 2 nights and already had reservations at another resort starting the third night. After being at Celebration, we knew in order to keep our vacation on a high level, we decided to call them back and see if we can complete our vacation at the resort. They made it happen. We decided to purchase a 1 bedroom time share at Celebration.
Give it time......
We own a large 1 bedroom condo at Celebration. The units are very clean and large enough for the four of us. The kids love the pool which is never too busy. This is a new resort with limited ammenities to date,,,,but it seems like the long term plans will make this a great resort. It is fairly quiet, which is perfect if you plan on relaxing.
If you want activities and go go go atmosphere, go somewhere else.
When I'm on vacation I love to relax and that's what I get at Celebration.
No no
we stayed at this resort june 2003.. it was horrible! the room was very clean and new but the furnishing was horrible the beds were so not comfy at all. everytime another guest flushed the tiolet you heard it loud and clear. needless to say we had our room for 7 days but after 2 we had enough and checked out.
Celebration World Resort
I found the people there so nice and kind. We enjoyed our stay so much that we bought a 1 bedroom timeshare villa at Celebration.
Not much to celebrate!
The name is a bit misleading, there was not much to celebrate and it was certainly not a resort. While the property was okay, it is more like a hotel suite than a resort condo. We were extremely disappointed and left after the first night of our week to move to a more resort like atmosphere.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a scanning probe microscope according to the four-tip probe method which the microscope is to be used in, for example, semiconductor process evaluation, and also to a probe suitable for analyzing an ultra-surface region of a sample when used in the scanning probe microscope.
2. Description of Related Art
The invention of the transistor evolved from studies of the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor surface, particularly the surface electron state. However, with respect to electrical conduction due to the state of surface electrons themselves, many points have been left unanalyzed until today. This "surface state conduction" is extremely difficult to measure because electricity runs only in one or two electron layers of a crystal surface. However, thanks to the development of new measuring and inspecting techniques, such as a four-tip probe scanning tunnel microscope operating in an ultra-high vacuum and a microscopic four-tip probe, direct measurement of the surface state conduction has become possible and very interesting conduction characteristics have become revealed as a result. To this end, it has been determined that the electron state of a semiconductor surface has a unique characteristic totally different from that of the bulk state. In the electron device field, apparatuses of this type will play an important role in research and development of electron devices.
In an evaluating apparatus using a scanning tunnel microscope according to the four-tip probe method, four probe tips are arranged linearly at regular distances, a current is caused to flow into a sample from the outer two of the probe tips, and a voltage drop caused due to the electrical resistance of the sample is measured by the inner two of the probe tips. At such time, because there is only a very slight current flowing in these probe tips, only a voltage drop V on the sample can be measured without influence of the contact resistance at a point of contact of the probe tips with the sample. An electrical resistance according to the four-tip probe method is obtained by R=V/I where I is a measured current. As shown in
Conventionally, four-tip probes whose inter-tip distance is in the order of millimeters to centimeters have been used, and many studies on this type of probe were carried out. However, these conventional probes cannot be applied to surface analysis of semiconductor devices. Recently, an undergraduate research group of Tokyo University released a report (Applied Physics, 70th Volume, 10th Issue, 2001) on measurement of electrical resistance of a silicon crystal surfaces using a microscopic four-tip probe of a several
m pitch manufactured utilizing silicon micro-processing technology, such as ordinary lithography. For analyzing the outermost or uppermost device-surface, however, this several μm inter-tip distance is inadequate to achieve proper performance. An inter-tip distance of at most 1 μm or less is needed for doing so. Even if the above-mentioned silicon micro-processing technology is employed, it is difficult to manufacture a four-tip probe having an inter-tip distance of a such a sub-micron order.
In a further related art study, positioning of measuring points on an object surface is carried out using an optical microscope. However, because a required measuring region for analyzing the outermost or uppermost device-surface is extremely small, it is difficult to achieve positioning using the conventional optical microscope and, as an alternative means, a new observation technique, such as a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM) has been required. When an SEM is used, a sample is always irradiated with electrons during observation. This may produce noise and render accurate measurement of electricity impossible. On the other hand, in the case of an AFM, observation can be realized either in an ordinary atmospheric environment or a special atmospheric environment. However, when a multi-tip probe itself is used also as an image-obtaining probe, this may be a hindrance to accurate measurement for reasons such as (1) it is difficult to perform image analysis from signals detected by a plurality of probe tips arranged in a row and (2) the image is contaminated or otherwise damaged by scanning. Further, in the conventional AFM, it is a common practice to employ the light leverage method in which a mirror is mounted on a cantilever to detect displacement. In this case, a sample is irradiated with laser light. Because laser light serves as an excitation energy source to cause surface atoms to enter an excited state, this has a considerable effect on the movement of electrons on a device surface and therefore also impedes accurate measurement of electricity. Alternatively, waves serving as excitation light can be removed by wavelength cutoff using a filter. However, this alternative cannot realize observation in a perfect dark field and would often encounter problems, such as decreases in sensitivity due to attenuation of light intensity.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a a processing method to form a microscopic multi-tip probe whose inter-tip distance is on a sub-micron order, and to thereby provide such a microscopic multi-tip probe. Another object of the present invention is to provide an ultra-surface analyzing apparatus for analyzing the ultra-surface of a semiconductor device, the apparatus of having a function of positioning that does not influence electricity measurement in an extremely small region using the microscopic multi-tip probe.
The multi-tip probe manufacturing method of the present invention comprises the steps of making a cantilever using lithographic techniques and forming microscopic electrodes at a distal end of the cantilever by sputtering and gas-assisted etching processing using a focused charge particle beam.
This method of manufacturing a multi-tip probe of the present invention comprises the steps of, after making a cantilever using lithographic techniques, performing separation so as to form a plurality of lead portions using lithographic techniques on the cantilever and forming a shunt area at the distal end, and processing the shunt area of the distal end using a focused charged particle beam using sputtering or gas-assisted etching, exposure to X-rays using a stopper, mask aligner, and Synchrotron Orbital Radiation (SOR), or by electron beam rendering and etching so as to form microscopic electrodes.
Further, the method of manufacturing a multi-tip probe of the present invention comprises the steps of, after making a cantilever using lithographic techniques, performing separation so as to form a plurality of lead portions using lithographic techniques on the cantilever, and blasting the distal end of the cantilever with a source gas and irradiating with a focused charged particle beam so as to form microscopic electrodes.
In order to provide the surface characteristic analysis device of the present invention with functions where the microscopic multi-tip probes are put into a non-contact state and an observed image is obtained for a sample surface using an AFM function, a measurement region is specified from the observed image, and the multi-tip probes are positioned at the specified regions and contact is made, drive means are provided for positioning probe positions of a cantilever having a microscopic multi-tip probe of a pitch of 1□m or less at a distal end and a cantilever for AFM use having a dedicated probe at a distal end with a known prescribed gap there between and driving the probes independently so as to be in contact/non-contact states with respect to the sample surface.
One of a bi-metal actuator, a comb-shaped electrostatic actuator, or a piezoelectric microactuator is adopted as the mesas for driving in a contact/non-contact state.
A self-detecting method where a strain gauge is installed at the cantilever is adopted to enable measurement in a dark field state.
A multi-tip probe of the present invention comprises a cantilever formed using lithographic techniques, a plurality of lead portions formed on the cantilever, and a plurality of electrodes connected to each of the lead portions so that the pitch between the electrodes is narrower than pitch between the lead portions.
The multi-tip probe of the present invention may have a configuration provided with a convex bank at the region where the electrode of the cantilever are formed or may be provided with probes at the electrodes.
In a scanning tunnel microscope according to the four-tip probe method to be used for semiconductor process evaluation, there is the correlation shown in
For example, according to one technique, a single micro cantilever is fabricated by coating a substrate of silicon with a conductive thin film or by implanting ions into a substrate to make the substrate conductive. The resulting micro cantilever has a multi-tip conductive portion whose tips are spaced one from another and a shunt area formed on a distal end portion of the cantilever into which area the tips of the conductive portion merge. In order to obtain a less than 1 μm tip pitch, comb-shaped electrodes that are separated from each other are formed in the shunt area of the distal end portion of the cantilever by an etching process, such as sputter etching or gas assist etching using, for example, a focused ion beam (FIB) apparatus. The comb-shaped electrodes are used as a multi-tip probe. According to another technique, a single cantilever having a multi-tip conductive portion whose tips are spaced one from another and a non-conductive area formed at a distal end portion of the cantilever is fabricated using photolithographic processes. Further, the above-described structure is obtained by depositing metal or carbon on the distal end portion of the cantilever, which is wired by a patch process, at desired distances by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using an FIB apparatus. The microscopic multi-tip conductive portions may be formed by making the silicon, i.e. the cantilever, conductive using ion implantation techniques through irradiation with a beam rather than by CVD. It is possible to make processing time shorter by making lead portions that are not required in the microscopic processing as conductors for use with the multi-tip probe etc. in advance.
In another alternative, a needle-shaped electrode may be manufactured which is comprised of not only the comb-shaped electrode, but also by laminating or depositing a conductive substance (such as carbon or tungsten) on the distal end portion of the electrode. This electrode can make contact with a sample in an improved manner. In the manufacture of the electrode by processing the deposited metal using an FIB apparatus, an ultra-microscopic multi-tip probe whose inter-tip distance is several hundreds to several nm can be formed with ease, depending on the metal film thickness. In the foregoing description, an FIB is used as a source of a charged particle beam. Alternatively, however, the processing, which is gas assist etching or CVD, may be realized using an apparatus using an electron beam.
Further, for analyzing the outermost or uppermost surface of a device, it is essential to specify the position of the device surface. Conventionally, the positioning is carried out by obtaining an observed image of the device surface of a sample on an optical microscope. However, because a measuring region is extremely small, specifying the device surface position using an optical microscope is difficult to achieve, requiring, as an alternative means, a new observation technique, such as a high-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) or an atomic force microscope (AFM). When an SEM is used, electrons are irradiated to a sample always during observation as mentioned above. This would be a cause for noise so that accurate measurement of electricity cannot be performed. For this reason, this type of surface observation apparatus is inconvenient to use. When an observed image is obtained by an AFM, a laser to be used for measurement of displacement and serving as an excitation energy source would cause surface atoms to take on an excited state. In the present invention, as a solution to this problem, an AFM not using a laser, namely, a method of detecting displacement of a device surface using a cantilever with a strain gauge adhered thereto. As a solution to the above-mentioned problem that impedes accurate measurement for reasons, such as (1) it is difficult to perform image analysis from signals detected by a plurality of probe tips arranged in a row and (2) the image is contaminated or otherwise damaged by scanning, the present invention provides a single-tip probe dedicated to surface observation, in addition to a multi-tip probe dedicated to surface analysis, and also provides such a mechanism that, during scanning with the surface-observation-dedicated single-tip probe to obtain an observed image, a multi-tip probe serving as the surface-analysis dedicated probe assumes a non-contact state to prevent adhesion of contaminant or other damage, and it is possible for both probes to independently adopt contact or non-contact positions. As this mechanism, a cantilever may be moved upwards and downwards by a temperature-controlled bimetal-type actuator, a comb-shaped electrostatic actuator, or a piezoelectric micro-actuator.
First Embodiment
One embodiment will now be described in which a four-tip probe is manufactured by a technique according to the present invention. Using a silicon substrate as a starting material, an elongated cantilever 1 of a 16 μm width, which is shown in
The basic construction of an FIB apparatus to be used in the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 11. The FIB apparatus focuses ions, which are derived from an ion source 71, into a focused ion beam by an ion optical system 73 and irradiates a sample surface 79 with the focused ion beam 72. As the position to be irradiated is controlled by a deflector 77, electrons or secondary ions are emitted from the irradiated sample surface 79 and then detected by a secondary charged particle detector 78. The detected secondary charged particles are dependent on the sample surface material of an FIM-irradiated beam spot. Therefore, when the irradiated position is scanned two-dimensionally, a microscopic image of the sample surface can be obtained by combining the position information and the detection information by a computer 76 and displaying the result of this combining on a display 75. This is the function of a scanning microscope according to an FIB apparatus. The process in which the material of a sample surface is etched by irradiating the sample surface with the FIB is a sputter etching function, and the process in which the material of a sample surface is etched as a chemical reaction is facilitated by irradiating the FIB to the sample surface while spraying an assist gas from a gas gun 74 is a gas assist etching function. Further, the process in which a material is deposited on a sample surface by irradiating with the FIB while spraying a raw material gas from a gas gun is a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) function.
In the present invention, using an FIB apparatus equipped with these functions, a microscopic image of the distal end portion of the above-mentioned cantilever 1 is obtained. As a result, the microscopic image shown in
It is possible for the pattern-forming process of the shunt area 4 to be carried out using exposure to X-rays using a stopper, mask aligner, and SOR, or by electron beam rendering and etching.
Second Embodiment
Another embodiment will now be described in which a four-tip probe is manufactured by another deposition technique of the present invention using an FIB apparatus. Using a silicon substrate as a starting material, an elongated cantilever 1 of a 16 μm width, which is shown in
In the present embodiment, using an FIB apparatus, a microscopic image of the distal end portion of the above-mentioned cantilever 1 is obtained. As a result, the microscopic image shown in
Third Embodiment
Another embodiment, unlike the previously mentioned embodiment using only a comb-shaped electrode, will now be described in which, in order to improve the ease of contact with a sample, a needle-shaped electrode is formed by laminating and depositing a conductive substance (such as carbon or tungsten) on the distal end portion of each electrode by the CVD process using an FIB apparatus.
However, the needles 61 of the thus formed four microscopic electrodes 6 would tend to cause erroneous conduction as they cannot uniformly contact a sample due to their various heights, and would tend to cause different contact resistances due to various contact pressures. To avoid these problems, in the present embodiment, the resilient probe 62 is formed in a bow shape shown as electrode in
Embodiment 4
A still further embodiment will now be described in which, when an elongated cantilever 1 is fabricated by lithography, a convex bank 11 is formed on the distal end portion of the cantilever 1 and four-probe-tip lead paths 3 are patterned in platinum film on the resulting cantilever 1, thereby causing uniform contact pressure to be exerted on every probe tip.
Embodiment 5
An embodiment of a surface characteristic analysis apparatus according to the present invention will now he described in which the apparatus is equipped with a probe of an atomic force microscope (AFM) so as to have a function of positioning the measuring point on an object surface. As shown in
The operation of the apparatus according to the present embodiment will now be described. Firstly, the cantilevers assume a non-heated state, namely, the distal end portion of the AFM probe tip 9 are brought into contact with a sample surface and the distal end portions of the four microscopic probe tips 6 are brought away from the sample surface. In this state, the sample surface is scanned two-dimensionally to obtain a three-dimensional image of the sample surface. This operation is similar to that of the ordinary scanning probe microscope. The sample's position to be measured is selected and specified from the obtained three-dimensional image in such a manner that the distal end portions of the four probe tips 6 comes to a designated position. Because the distal end portions of the four microscopic probe tips 6 are spaced a predetermined distance from the distal end portion of the AFM probe tip 9, such drift has to be corrected on the coordinate. The sample stage is driven in X and Y directions in such a manner that the distal end portion of the AFM probe tip 9 comes to a position deviated from the specified measured position by the amount of the drift. As a result, the distal end portions of the four probe tips 6 come to the designated position. Subsequently, the pads 10, 10′ are heated as shown in
Advantageous Results
The micro cantilever manufacturing method according to one aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of fabricating a cantilever having a plurality of lead portions spaced one from another and a shunt area formed at a distal end portion of the cantilever by a micro cantilever fabrication technique utilizing lithography, and forming a probe on the cantilever by processing the shunt area of the distal end portion of the cantilever by sputtering or gas assist etching using a beam of focusing charged particles. According to another aspect of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of fabricating a cantilever having a plurality of lead portions spaced one from another, by a micro cantilever fabrication technique utilizing lithography, and forming a probe on the cantilever by CVD which irradiates a beam of focused charged particles to the distal end portion of the cantilever while spraying a gas of raw material thereto. Therefore, it is possible to easily obtain electrical information of microscopic portions and ultra-surface, which was impossible in the conventional art. In the method of manufacturing a microscopic multi-probe according to the present invention, because the probe tips are formed into a resilient structure by CVD, some variation in height of the probe tips are allowed, thereby increasing the easiness of the probe tip fabrication drastically.
The surface characteristic analyzing apparatus according one aspect of the present invention comprises first a micro cantilever having on its distal end portion a microscopic multi-tip probe, an AFM-dedicated micro cantilever having on its distal end portion a dedicated microscopic multi-tip probe; the AFM-dedicated micro cantilever being spaced by a known, predetermined distance from the first micro-cantilever, and means for driving the two micro cantilevers independently of each other into contact/non-contact states with respect to a sample. Therefore, the apparatus has the functions of obtaining an observed imaged of a sample surface by an AFM with the microscopic multi-tip probe in a non-contact state, determining a measuring region from the observed image, positioning the microscopic multi-tip probe in the determined measuring region and bringing the microscopic multi-tip probe into contact with the determined measuring region. Even in electricity measurement at an arbitrary position (e.g., a wiring portion) where positioning was difficult to take place on a conventional optical microscope, accurate measurement of electricity can be achieved by an array probe that can be combined with AFM. Further, the means for driving the cantilevers between a contact state and a non-contact state can be achieved with ease by employing a temperature-controlled bimetal-type actuator, a comb-shaped electrostatic actuator, or a piezoelectric micro-actuator. Furthermore, by using the self-detection method in which a strain gauge is mounted on the cantilever, electricity measurement in perfect dark field can be realized.

A day after a brutal cross-border raid by the Pakistani army left two Indian soldiers dead in the Poonch area, more details have emerged about the gruesome nature of the assault. The Indian Army, which has lodged a strong protest with Pakistan for a gross violation of the rules of engagement, suspects that the Special Service Group (SSG) of the Pakistani army carried out the raid.
It is also learnt that while the Pakistani raiding party carried back the head of one of the two soldiers who were killed in the ambush, an attempt was also made to behead the second soldier. However, it was thwarted after Indian reinforcements arrived and engaged the Pakistani troops. Mutilation marks were also found on the chest and thighs of the two soldiers.
Sources said that while the 29 Balouch regiment is deployed in the sector where the ambush took place, the attack bore the trademark of SSG which has carried out similar raids in the past. The special unit, nicknamed the 'Black Storks', is known for its trademark black clothes and guerilla tactics similar to details emerging from the accounts of two injured Indian soldiers.
It is learnt that an ambush party of 8-10 SSG commandos were lying in wait for the Indian troops who were carrying out a regular patrol along the Line of Control. Sources said the area where the ambush took place was vulnerable as the border fence that keeps out infiltrators is located almost 2 km inside Indian territory, given the difficult terrain.
The Indian party was conducting patrols ahead of the fence and barely a few hundred metres away from the demarcated LoC when it was ambushed. The two soldiers who got killed were a buddy pair acting as scouts for the patrol party. Both are believed to have been killed in the first burst of gunfire by the Pakistani soldiers.

A tale of the days of Good Queen Anne.

"I think you call it the high toby," said Harry delicately and began to sing to the tune of a catch:
"Oh, three merry men, three merry men, three highwaymen were we. You in a quag and he on a nag and I on top of the three."
"Lord love you, are you on the road?" Benjamin cried. "Why, rot you, did you want a share then? You should ha' said so, bully. Come on now, my dear, let's up. We do be gentlemen and share fair enough."
"I warrant you I am having my share," Harry laughed; "and I like it very well. But oh, Benjamin, there would have been nought to share if I had not come up. No fun at all, Benjamin." He wrenched the pistol away. "'Tis I have made the business joyous. You are a dull fellow by yourself."

David Maislish Authors ASSASSINATION – THE ROYAL FAMILY'S 1000 YEAR CURSE, Available Now!
"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," wrote William Shakespeare of the English monarchy. If he had lived another 400 years to read ASSASSINATION – THE ROYAL FAMILY'S 1000 YEAR CURSE, he would have discovered that it has been a good deal more than lying uneasily; it has been a never-ending invitation to murder.
In his new book, David Maislish proves a chilling fact: someone has tried to kill every single British monarch and many more attempts than we knew have been successful. At least a quarter, and perhaps as many as a half, of all British monarchs were killed.
"One day, I decided to write about the murders of the ten monarchs everyone knows were killed," Maislish says. "As I researched deeper and deeper, I discovered that at least eight, possibly as many as thirteen, others may well have been killed. Even more remarkable, whether killed or not, every single one of them suffered at least one assassination attempt."
In ASSASSINATION – THE ROYAL FAMILY'S 1000 YEAR CURSE, Maislish guides readers through English history, beginning with Canute, the first king of all England, who was targeted on London Bridge in 1014, and concludes with Queen Elizabeth II who was targeted in Australia in 1970 and in New Zealand in 1981.
Maislish gives a brief history of each reign, giving context to the assassination attempts, so readers come away not only with a series of murder stories, but also with a good understanding of British and world history, and the history of the monarchy. But the murders are central, and each chapter is built around the assassinations and the fate of the assassins.
ASSASSINATION is not your average textbook; instead it captures the reader's attention by marrying history with a series of true-life royal murder thrillers. It also sets out the personal story of each monarch, their incestuous connections (with family trees for each reign), and recounts little-known anecdotes such as the origin of the passport, chardonnay, the croissant, the cappuccino, the handkerchief, New Jersey, the use of the fork, Staten Island and many more. The book also reveals the various people alive today who would rightly be king or queen if certain usurpations or births had not taken place.
"I have tried to avoid the matters that sent us to sleep in school," Maislish continues. "Royal history is filled with mystery, murder and excitement – you just need to know where to look."
Author David Maislish is a practicing attorney and partner at the global law firm Duane Morris LLP. He lives in London and is married with five children. ASSASSINATION – THE ROYAL FAMILY'S 1000 YEAR CURSE is available in paperback ($16) and e-book ($5) at www.amazon.com.

Elliott Brood w/ Ben Knight & The Welldiggers at MOTR Pub Nov 7
Elliott Brood with Ben Knight & The Welldiggers
MOTR Pub, 1345 Main St, Cincinnati, OH
10pm, 21+, Free
Formed in 2002, Elliott Brood (the name, a bastardized homage to the fem fatal character in the 1984 Baseball film The Natural) united teenage pals Mark Sasso and Casey Laforet over their grown-up love for Neil Young, The Band and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Stephen Pitkin was an accidental miracle: he fell into the group after working sound at one of their earliest concerts, offering to record their first EP, Tin Type. Tin Type was a college radio hit and soon this compact trio was making some big noise. Across five subsequent albums, sharing vocals and trading instruments – each of the band-members seems to play everything – Elliott Brood have become one of the premier acts in Canadian roots music. Work and Love their latest off October 21st, 2014 on Paper Bag Records. Read more

Drawing inspiration up through layers of North Carolina soil, maverick stringband Mipso embrace the present day while continuing to explore their local legacies on their new album Old Time Reverie, to be released via Robust Records on September 4, 2015. Spawned from the ongoing renaissance currently enriching and expanding the traditional vocabularies of old time and bluegrass music, Mipso put time-honored tools to work on new terrain, with evocative, intoxicating with evocative, intoxicating results. Years of constant touring has tightened their attack, lending a new degree of authority and cohesion to their sound, while the addition of fiddler and vocalist Libby Rodenbough to the existing lineup of Jacob Sharp (mandolin), Joseph Terrell (guitar), and Wood Robinson (bass), has added new colors to an already rich palette.

Lucian Yahoo Dragoman
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (March 2012)
In January 2005, Romanian newspaper Libertatea reported the birth of Lucian Yahoo Dragoman, supposedly named after the web portal Yahoo. The story spread briefly on the Internet, but was quickly found to have been fabricated by a reporter.
According to the article, Lucian Yahoo was born December 2004 in Mediaş, Romania. His parents, Nonu and Cornelia Dragoman, supposedly met online, and had a virtual relationship for three months before meeting in person. The story quoted the mother as saying: "We named him Lucian Yahoo, one name after my father and the other from the computer. These were the two elements which guided my life." While people have legally changed their names to that of a business, this story was presumed to be the first person named at birth after a highly identifiable product or service.

Instead of putting the failed car enterprise into bankruptcy six months ago -- where Carl Icahn or Wilbur Ross could have bought it -- the Bush administration chose Bailout Nation. Under Team Obama, that bailout has morphed into full-scale government ownership. Twenty-billion dollars of TARP money is already invested in GM, with another $50 billion on the way. And that number could easily double unless GM car sales miraculously climb back to 14 million this year. That's highly unlikely, with car sales presently hovering around 9 million a year.In other words, taxpayers are not going to get their money back. Yes, we the people will be left holding the bag for the mistakes of GM's management and labor leaders over the last four decades.
And with CAFE mileage-standards ratcheting up -- all while GM is going down -- Team Obama's green vision for the economy will soon be crystal clear. With President Obama in the driver's seat, we're going to get little green two-door cars that most folks won't want to buy.
Even worse, UAW chief Ron Gettelfinger has made it plain that his powerful union won't let these cars be manufactured in low-cost non-union plants overseas. The result? Obama's little green cars are going to be unprofitable as well.
But it's the bigger picture that has me most concerned. What does Government Motors say about the direction of the United States? Historically, we don't own car companies --or banks or insurance firms. But we do now. Tick them off on your fingers: GM, Citi, AIG. Oh, and let's not forget Fannie and Freddie, those, big quasi-government, taxpayer-owned housing agencies. California is broke and likely headed to bankruptcy. Will we the taxpayers own that, too?
Altogether, we're talking about hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars that will never be repaid. This is the stuff the Italians used to do, and the Brits before Thatcher, and the Soviets a long time ago. But it's something very new and very different for America.
Is this onslaught of government ownership an attack on free-market capitalism? Yes it is. Call it Bailout Nation or Ownership Nation, it's an unprecedented degree of government command, control, and planning, all in the name of a tough economic downturn.

King of the Hill was actually one of those shows that had adults who were not complete morons and but could still be funny at the same time.Dale is my favorite character out of all of them because he is crazy and paranoid over the government which makes believe that the government can not be trusted.Hank has just an amazing voice that makes him sound like an old redneck.The only insult that this show had was that it got cancelled and replaced with a piece of crap show like Cleveland.Its just like when Disney got rid of all their good shows and replaced it with crap like Miley Cyrus.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Guitar play is great as always and the solo's never cease to impress. Personally I think the drums might be a little too loud at certain points but nothing major, that's the only negative thing I can see with this track so 4.5 stars Great job!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The starting riff sounds like the fast version of 'Figure 9.' By Linkin Park on the album Meteora.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
i definitly like the feel of it. now lets hear a song with you shreddn on bass. rock on brother. \m/
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
reminds me of trivium
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Pretty wicked
This is well composed and has some great riffs.
The fluidity is also something that I appreciated.
Nothing is impossible, you just need to practice with a speed trainer, but for the sake of recording, that works.
Good work though.
7/10 {only because things were sped up}

Fashion will be on display at the LaFollette Middle School fashion show next weekend. The evening will be filled with food, fun and fashion as designs from the Silk Purse clothing store in Knoxville are modeled and available for purchase. In addition to food and fun, door prizes and a silent auction will be available at the April 2 event.
Judy Gardner, of the Silk Purse, will be sharing her expertise on the latest fashions at the event.
Gardner's assistants as well as participants of the middle school Relay for Life team will model several items for those that attend. Students, school staff and community members will be modeling the clothing fit for almost any age group.
"It will be so much fun, and I sure can't think of a better cause," said fashion show coordinator Kim Leach. "All of our lives in some way have been touched by this horrible disease and we are trying our best to help do something about it."
Anna Lillian Brown, Leach's mother, died from cancer over a year ago. The experience, which Leach explains as a great loss, has motivated her to help find a cure for the disease, she said.
The fashion show is a fun way to raise money for an organization that helps victims and families who are stricken with cancer, said Leach.
Gardner is known for her weekly appearance on WBIR Channel 10 in Knoxville for her show entitled Fashion Smart. Gardner shares her stylish ideas about decorating, entertaining and crafting on the television show.
"The goal at The Silk Purse is to help every woman find and enhance her personal style, as well as experience the delight of creating a fashionable and unique wardrobe," said Leach.
The fashion show will have prize drawings, items for purchase and a silent auction.
Leach said door prizes include many gift certificates, gift baskets, a designer purse and much more.
Refreshments will be served after the show and clothing and jewelry will be for sale.
Advanced ticket sales are $5. Tickets can be purchased during school hours at the front office of LaFollette Middle School or the night of the event.
Many staff members, students and parents will also be selling tickets until the event. Tickets can also be purchased at the door the night of the event.
Opened over 15 years ago, The Silk Purse offers clothes and accessories for women without spending too much money, said Leach.
All proceeds from the event, which will start at 7 p.m., will go to benefit the American Cancer Society.
