Fayette's dirt roads: the rest of the story
Please allow me to tell you "the rest of the story" about dirt roads in Fayette County.
Please allow me to tell you "the rest of the story" about dirt roads in Fayette County.
The blogosphere is burning red, consumed with fury over President Obama's announcement — made at the end of the news cycle, with talk-radio on weekend break — that he supports the construction of a mosque near the downed World Trade Center buildings.
Out of curiosity, folks will sometimes ask who is an inspiration or hero to me. Since I rarely think in those terms, I have to stop and think about that answer.
Last month, Shirley Sherrod was asked to resign her USDA position after being accused of racism.
Call it a motto or a mission statement, the C.J. Mowell, Jr. family lives it, and has since 1964. C.J.'s late father was the Carl J. Mowell in the company's name, and C.J. was the son. Now a third generation is the son, David.
Traffic advisories for Highway 74 South, Millage Hearings, and Cell Phone Towers (again).
What is it about a secret that makes you want to tell everyone, even a complete stranger? Ever notice the repercussions for telling a secret grows proportionately as we do? Until we get to be adults, that is, but that's where this story ends.
A couple of months ago, I announced that I had come up with a "Bucket List" of things I wanted to do or places I desired to see before I "kicked the bucket."
SAN DIEGO — A nation that does not see in law a right to life for its unborn children and a court that allows more than 50 million of them to be killed claiming a nonexistent "penumbra" in the Constitution is not about to acquire a moral — much less a constitutional — backbone when it comes to sa
New media have shaped our political culture. Some, like talk radio and all-news cable stations, are developments of older, established technologies. Others, like internet blogs, are based on comparatively new technologies.
The drumbeat for more public transportation by planners and policy-makers rises in inverse proportion to the public's enthusiasm. The reality of the steady decline in Americans' use of public transportation fades into the background, overwhelmed by transit-oriented hype.
In looking back at photos, I am left to wonder if I have ever had a truly good hair day. I'm amazed because when I see the snapshots, I think, "Now, I'm sure that when I left home that day, I felt pretty good about my hair. How could it look like that?"
Pastors get the most interesting questions from people in their congregations and people they meet. Here are a few that I have gotten over the years and via email for this column.
Running is all well and good but it helps to have a destination.
"One day is just like another when you're retired and it's too hot to do anything outside." Dave speaks from the couch, where he reads between naps. His daily outing is Driving Miss Sallie to work out at Curves, by golf cart.

My situation:
I have folder which has very important files that are not allowed to access if I don't give an exact URL to that file for my website users.
I have done this with simple .htaccess

Sen. Jon Kyl may have saved GOP
It's been three weeks since America had a "status quo" election. And the one glaring take-away that cannot be denied is the Democrats either retained or gained more of the minority vote, which left the GOP to "brag" how older white men and older white married women stuck by their party.
That's not something to stupidly brag about, because what it glaringly signifies is the death of the GOP if some radical thinking isn't adopted or injected into the (ironically) Party of Lincoln.
Tentative kudos go to our own Sen. Jon Kyl, who, along with Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, took a baby step toward trying to save their party. With the unveiling of what Kyl called the Achieve Act, Republicans took a collective breath and are waiting to exhale.
It's an alternative to the DREAM Act, and it's a small but important start to saving the party. As Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, put so bluntly, "Either the Republicans begin to attract more Hispanics and Latinos…or they are headed the way of the dodo."
If the GOP is to survive past 2016, it needs to start injecting common sense into its political collective and start realizing that there is no way illegal immigration will be solved the way many Republicans have recited for years. The mantra of "what part of illegal don't you understand?" is as irrelevant as when governors and students tried to stop desegregation of public schools in the 1950s.
Kyl's proposal isn't radically different but it's a small step in the right direction. It doesn't contain the "A" word that so many Republicans hate, yet was used by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s to grant over two million illegal immigrants amnesty.
In the newly proposed Achieve Act, an illegal immigrant who was brought here as a child can get a special visa that would allow he or she to stay in the United States. That person can attend college or serve in the military and receive a green card, if he or she graduates or honorably serves.
The green card will secure his or her place in this country and allow that person to eventually become a citizen, but it's not the clear-cut path that was included in the DREAM Act.
Thanks to a small number of old white men in the Republican Party, the word "compromise" hasn't been uttered since Barack Obama became president. As Kyl said, "This particular piece of immigration reform seemed a logical place to begin."
So what's the downside to having this new version of Republican compromise? There isn't one. Kyl is retiring. He doesn't have to worry about losing his seat or clout to a Tea Party candidate, who could claim Kyl worked with the "other side" or he's "not GOP enough."
But there's a bigger and more salient point to this legislation: If the Achieve Act passes, the GOP can use this as its true first banner moment in the 21st century as the party that got meaningful immigration reform done. Or, at least, a part of it.
Let's face it: true immigration reform that is agreeable to both sides will never be fully realized, but this is definitely a positive step for the survival of the GOP.

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Two Half-Lives That Make Up a Single Identity : Zubair Ahmed's 'City of Rivers'
Zubair Ahmed's first poetry collection City of Rivers (McSweeney's, 96 pages) captures the reader's heart from its first line to its last. These poems are reminders of poetry's power to leave us breathless after immersing us in truths, both wonderful and painful. Ahmed, who was born and raised in Bangladesh and moved to the United States in 2005, explores memory and identity with a sincere voice steeped in genuine experience. These are dense poems, carrying the story of an individual, of a family, and of Bangladesh itself. City of Rivers opens with "Measuring the Strength of a Sparrow's Thigh" and …Continue reading

The fact that God chose to reveal Himself more personally to Thomas was purely gracious, not required or necessary for a faith response.
While I understand that the Constitution of the United States of America defends religious freedom for all, yet more importantly, as a Christian I believe that true "soul freedom" is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ.
…why would one assume that God's grace and power given to the apostles to reveal the MYSTERY OF CHRIST isn't sufficiently understandable or believable?
Historically, it was indeed the case that vacancies in Southern Baptist leadership would be filled from among a pool of candidates who were already Southern Baptists on the day they were hired.
…the natural man who deems the things of the Spirit foolish do so by their own free moral choice, not by compatibilistic compulsion imposed by Calvinistic philosophy

All I can say is that the boots are great and I would buy a second pair if they came in a different color I was hesitant at first but when they arrived, I have no complaints... I feel I got what I paid for if not more.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? the color is a perfect match with the picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. the quality is excellent especially for the price
- How accurate was the sizing? I had no problem with the sizing
Even though it took me a while to get the right size I'm glad I made the purchase. I searched many websites for this type of bootie, it is what I was looking for and not cheap looking. Even though they were the cheapest I could find. I definitely would recommend people also buy them at least a size larger. My feet tend to be a little bit swollen so I had a hard time fitting my foot into the narrow toe. I know that's how cowboy boots are supposed to fit but I felt like these were narrow. The blue leather is very soft and the design across the toe looks very good and exactly what you would imagine a cowboy boot to look like.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? the color of blue in the picture online was almost identical to them when I received them.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality of the leather was very good especially because they were much less expensive than others
- How accurate was the sizing? it to me 2 orders to finally get the rightsizing. I had to order them I think in a size and a half larger than usual

Nazi hunters fault Australia, Hungary for inactionBreaking News
Australia, Hungary and Lithuania are failing to investigate and prosecute suspected Nazi war criminals largely due to a lack of political will, the Simon Wiesenthal Center said Thursday.
The Nazi-hunting group said the same holds true for Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine, adding all countries in question face no legal obstacles in bringing suspects to justice.
The findings were published in the center's annual report, which graded the investigation and prosecution efforts of countries around the world between April 2007 and March 2008.

A low power full accuracy MPEG1 audio layer 3 (MP3) decoder with on-chip A/D converter (ADC) and D/A converter (DAC) is proposed. The chip is composed of a digital block to implement the MP3 decoding algorithm and voice compression/decompression algorithm, a 12-bit recycling type ADC, and an oversampling ΔΣ 1-bit DAC. In order to satisfy the full accuracy specification of the MP3 decoder, a novel 32-bit floating DSP core is proposed. Further, an efficient power management technique is implemented to reduce power consumption for portable applications. The proposed decoder has been fabricated with a 4 metal 0.35 μm CMOS technology and the chip area is about 6.4×6.7 mm2 with 165 mW power dissipation at 2.7 V power supply

In the year 2028, which is when the new RoboCop takes place, Detroit is bankruptcy-free, looking good. OmniCorp, a giant global concern that makes drones and military machines, has planted its sleek, skyscraping HQ in the heart of downtown. And while there is still plenty of crime, the city has top-flight detectives on the force to keep the bad guys at bay, like Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), who looks, and talks, like that Holder fellow from AMC's The Killing. (He is.)
But just like the first Murphy, the one played by Peter Weller in Paul Verhoeven's groundbreaking 1987 sci-fi hit, this one comes to a nasty end - a car bomb that leaves him burnt to a crisp, with a severed spine, and no hope, really, of living on.

Sports of a different kind may help Magna Entertainment win approval for Dixon Downs, its proposed $250 million racetrack complex 20 miles west of Sacramento.
In another appeal to this small town of 17,000 residents, MEC has offered to turn the track's 14-acre infield into athletic fields open free to community organizations, the company announced March 8. In addition, MEC announced it would build a 20,000-square-foot indoor practice facility and permanent baseball diamond on the edge of its 260-acre property.
Dixon Downs goes before the city's voters April 17. If approved, the track could host its first meet in late 2009 or early 2010.
"Including room for baseball, soccer, football and other sports was all part of our original plan," MEC vice president Dennis Mills said. "After listening to local sports leadership, we feel we made it 100 percent better."
Magna, in an effort to sway unsure voters in favor of the development, last week announced there would be no slot machines or huge concerts at the facility. It also offered space in its proposed retail complex for existing downtown businesses and said it would not race during the summer in order to accommodate the tomato harvest season at the nearby Campbell Soup plant.
Under this plan, the racetrack's infield will include up to eight multipurpose fields for soccer, baseball, softball, football, rugby and other sports. Infield play would not be held during live horseracing or morning workouts.
Landscaped berms will form sloped seating areas as well as block the fields from grandstand view.
"We already have the infrastructure to take care of the turf course, so why not use that for these fields, too?" Mills said. "Maintaining the turf course for racehorses is almost a science in itself. We'll have the finest playing fields available."
Use of the fields will be limited to spring through fall, when demand is greatest. During wet winter months, the infield will be used as a catch basin and look like a lake.
Several youth and adult recreation leagues advised Magna on the plan.

Arizona Cardinals
Beanie Wells activated from IR/Designated to return
Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells, who has been sidelined since suffering a turf toe injury in a Week 3 win over Philadelphia, was activated Wednesday from the injured reserve/designated to return list.
To make room for Wells on the roster, the Cardinals released linebacker Jamaal Westerman.
Wells had just 76 yards on 29 carries this season before suffering the injury.
The fourth-year pro returns to the field in time to face the St. Louis Rams, the same team he set the Cardinals' franchise single-game rushing record against last season. Wells had 228 yards on 27 carries in Arizona's 23-20 win at the Edward Jones Dome last November 27.

I and my Partner and I happen to sell a lot Buford and Gwinnett in general. We both actually have lived in Buford. The city feeling is very family oriented due to the schools being great, the sports and music programs are also amazing. There are several parks in the area and of course all the great shopping and the restaurants.
My husband and I lived in Buford for many years right after we moved from Texas and we loved it. Should I mention to you that he is a cop and safety for him is the biggest concern when he selects a neighborhood. Also, there are several builders actively building homes in this city. Thats a great sign and talks well about an area. It means people continue to purchase and chose this city as their home. Like any other place you have to do your due diligence by checking the neighborhoods, talking to neighbours, visiting websites for actual data.

This application is a continuation-in-part of our copending application Ser. No. 06/698,219 filed Feb. 4, 1985 now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to ceramics and more particularly to the efficient production of high alumina bodies with very smooth surfaces. Such bodies, particularly when thin and flat, are especially valuable as substrates for the construction of electronic devices adapted to service in high reliability applications.
The widespread commercial use of thin film devices is dependent on the availability of substrates with high surface smoothness (particularly freedom from surface voids), uniform small grain size surface microstructure, high flatness, and high density, so that the effectiveness of the electrically controlling components is not vitiated by irregularities of the surface on which they are deposited. For example, a tantalum capacitor in a thin film microcircuit might have a thickness of only a few hundred Angstroms. If the substrate surface had a roughness of 0.5 micron, which is 5000 Angstroms, a tantalum layer across such a variation in the surface might well be discontinuous. Even if the tantalum film were in fact continuous across a surface variation, the divergence of the tantalum from its expected planar shape might significantly vary its capacitance from the expected value, leading to an ineffective circuit. Specifically, surface roughness of no more than 25 nanometers (nm) is desirable, although in practice roughnesses up to about 100 nm can be tolerated in many cases.
In microstrip applications, where the substrate is an active part of the circuit, porosity in the bulk of the substrate, which affects its dielectric properties, plays a major role in the reliability of the circuit. Uniform pore size distribution in the substrate is essential for its use in the gigahertz frequency range.
2. Description of the Prior Art
When considering means of attaining adequate surface smoothness on alumina components for electronics applications, there is an important practical distinction between essentially single crystal forms of alumina such as ruby and sapphire and the much more common polycrystalline bodies in more general use. Single crystal forms of alumina must normally be grown from melts in shapes substantially controlled by the natural characteristics of the crystal itself. The crystals are then machined to the shape desired for use, and the surfaces can be polished to whatever surface smoothness is required. For these and other reasons, single crystal forms of alumina are relatively expensive.
Because of their lower cost, polycrystalline alumina bodies are much more commonly used. Such bodies can be made in almost any shape desired by pressing or casting alumina powders mixed with appropriate binders well known in the art, then firing the pressed cast bodies to sinter the powders into a dense and coherent polycrystalline body. If care is taken, as for example is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,678,923 to Stetson and Gyurk, hereinafter cited as Stetson, these polycrystalline bodies often can be used in the as-fired condition. If greater smoothness is needed, it can be obtained by lapping and polishing techniques, as reviewed by John B. Snook, "As-Fired vs. Lapped-and-Polished Substrates for Thick- and Thin-Film Hybrid Circuits", Microelectronic Manufacturing and Testing, October 1983. Despite the ability to achieve average surface smoothness on polycrystalline substrates as low as 12 nm, as shown in Snook Table 1, exposure of relatively large microvoids on the surface is still common, as shown in Snook FIG. 5, and capable of causing the sort of difficulties already discussed. Furthermore, surface polishing can not remove subsurface pores, and the lapping and polishing processes can be slow and expensive.
The Stetson reference already cited describes the last significant advance in preparation of smooth electronic substrates by direct firing known to the applicants before their own invention. This patent also contains, at column 2 line 43 to column 3 line 8, substantial detail about the meanings and techniques of surface flatness and surface roughness measurements, which are hereby incorporated by reference. In the instant application, as in Stetson, surface roughness measurements will be given as measured according to the center line average or arithmetic average (AA) method. The measurements of surface roughness described herein were carried out with a commercially available instrument, the Tallysurf, available from Rank-Taylor-Hobson of Leicester, England, which as a precision of �2.5 nm.
The Stetson specification teaches the use of extensive mixing in organic solvent, along with other expedients, to achieve alumina powders which can be tape cast to give continuous thin substrates with surface finishes as fired between about 50 and 90 nm. Although no explanation is offered for such a relationship by either Stetson or the instant applicants, the graphs disclosed by Stetson, particularly Stetson FIGS. 5A and B and 6A and B, are strongly suggestive of an asymptotic mathematical function, with the asymptote at about 50 nm. With or without a theoretical explanation, the data shown by Stetson indicate very strongly that 47.50 nm is the practical limit of surface finish achievable by the use of long mixing and/or low sintering temperatures, the primary techniques taught by Stetson for achieving good surface finish. Particularly significant in this regard is the observation (in column 7 lines 59-65 of the Stetson specification) that doubling the longest mixing time shown on the Stetson Figures did not result in any measurable increase in the surface area (and possibly in surface finish as taught by Stetson) of the milled alumina powder.
A characteristic of the processes disclosed by Stetson and the other prior art is a requirement of the use of size-graded or size-ranged mixtures of alumina powders in order to obtain non-porous final fired bodies. As expressed by Stetson at column 3 lines 65-66, "Little particles must be available to fill in the holes between the big particles."
Another method of obtaining a fine grain dense aluminum body is by hot pressing as described by W. M. Wheildon in Modern Materials, Vol. 2, p. 111 (published by Academic Press, 1960). By grinding and polishing such products, very smooth average surface finishes can be obtained. However, the grinding and polishing operations result in grain pullouts and thus defects in the surface at least as large as the grain size of the body. In summary, the prior art teaches how to obtain by direct firing ceramic substrates with water-impervious surfaces having a roughness of 50 nm. However, the substrates obtained have a relatively low density of 3.7 megagrams per cubic meter (Mg/m3) compared to a theoretical density for Al2 O3 of 3.97 Mg/m3 (Stetson column 12, lines 35-40).
It has now been found that water-impervious polycrystalline alumina substrates with surface finishes as fine as 25 nm, average grain sizes less than 0.4 micron, 99.5% or better alumina purity, and bulk specific gravity of at least 3.9 Mg/m3 can be reproducibly achieved by direct firing. To achieve these results, the Stetson and other prior art teachings of using size graded powders have been completely abandoned. Instead, narrowly sized dispersions of alumina, with particle size ranges usually no more than 0.3 microns in breadth and preferably no more than 0.2 microns, are used to prepare slips for casting by conventional means. The surface finish of the substrates obtained by firing such slips made from narrowly graded alumina particle size fractions is directly correlated with the particle size in the fraction. In particular, if the particle size of alumina in the centrifuged fraction is 0.1-0.3 microns, the surface finish is no rougher than about 40 nm AA and in some instances as low as 30 nm AA.
FIGS. 1 through 4 are all photomicrographs of fired alumina substrate surfaces.
With suitable preparation and grinding steps well known in the art, any source of alumina could be used for the products and processes to be described here by bringing it to an appropriate purity and particle size distribution. In some cases it is advantageous to add one of the grain growth inhibitors for aluminum known from the prior art. Magnesia in an amount from 0.01-0.3% of the total powder weight is a suitable inhibitor.
For commercial convenience and economy, the normal starting material will be a commercially available high purity alumina powder with a surface area of at least 11 square meters per gram (m2 /gm). Such powders can be prepared by a variety of known methods. A suitable material actually used for much of the work to be described is type A-16 SG supplied by the Aluminum Company of America. This powder is then processed to obtain the narrow size dispersions of alumina by techniques well known in the prior art, such as those described by M. Parish and H. K. Bowen, "Narrow Size Distribution Powders from Commercial Ceramic Powders", Ceramics International, 75, 10, n. 2, 1984. As generally recognized in the prior art, the use of a deflocculant during dispersion of narrow size powders is necessary to achieve adequate dispersion and avoid the formation of undesirable alumina aggregates. Many deflocculants, including those discussed by Stetson are acceptable, but fish oil, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, or glycerol trioleate are usually preferred. The amount of deflocculant used ranges from 0.1% to 1.0% by weight of the alumina powder.
Different fractions containing narrow size powders with a particle size range corresponding to the surface smoothness desired in the final substrate are selected for slip casting. For example, if the particle size range of 0.1-0.3 microns is selected by techniques described in the aforementioned Parish paper, the surface finish of the fired body will generally be 40 nm or better. If the particle size range of 0.5-0.7 microns is selected, an as-fired surface finish of about 80 nm will result.
The separation and size narrowing steps described above are unnecessary for powders produced directly in a narrow size range by chemical or vapor phase processes, and the invention described here can be practiced by directly using as-received powder of this type in appropriate size ranges.
A narrow size alumina powder obtained by one of the means described above should be suspended for mixing in a suitable liquid. The liquid chosen should be one which, either alone, or in a suitable mixture with other liquids, will dissolve an effective binder material and any plasticizers needed for the binder and can be readily driven off in the drying stage after later casting. Organic liquids are generally preferred because of low viscosity, high volatility, and ability to dissolve common binders and plasticizers. A mixture of two liquids is often preferred in the casting slip over a single liquid, because ordinarily such mixtures have lower viscosity than their constituents. To avoid having one component of the mixture driven off prior to the other or others, which can create difficulty during drying, the liquid mixture chosen should preferably be azeotropic. Because any water present in the casting during firing is usually deleterious, organic liquids or mixtures thereof capable of dissolving water and thereby promoting its expulsion during drying are also preferred. A particularly preferred liquid mixture consists of 1-butanol, 2-propanol, and xylene.
It is preferred that during the mixing stage all the components of the eventual liquid mixture to be used during casting should be present. This contrasts with the Stetson teaching, in which milling and mixing take place in two distinct steps, for much longer period of time than the present invention.
The preferable binder is polyvinylbutyral, although methyl methacrylate or cellulose acetate butyral polymers can also be used. Polyethylene glycol and butyl benzyl phthalate are preferred as plasticizers, in a ration of 50-300 parts of each per hundred parts of binder. Mixing should then be continued for 0.5-48 hours.
The present applicants have found that a vibratory mill such as the Sweco Model M-18 sold by Sweco, Inc., in addition to conventional ball mills as taught by Stetson, gives very effective mixing. With either type of mill, only 0.5-48 hours of mixing is needed, in contrast to the periods of up to 120-250 hours taught by Stetson. Conventional organic (e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene) or ceramic mixing media are used, with borundum preferred. The composition of borundum is about 85% Al2 O3, 12% SiO2, 2% MgO, and 1% CaO. The amount of silica, magnesia, and calcia introduced during mixing for the time specified is not deleterious; in fact, these materials would serve as grain growth inhibitors if presence is significant. The present applicants have found no advantage or necessity for additional grain growth inhibitors such as the talc recommended by Stetson. Naturally, grinding media with constituents which are known to be deleterious to the sintering of alumina, even when present in small amounts, should be avoided.
Conventional deaeration and tape casting of the slip, drying of the cast sheet, and final firing follow the provision of the narrowly sized slurry. In some cases a deagglomerating step introduced between the deaeration and casting has been found to be advantageous. Deagglomerating may be accomplished by passing through a fine screen such as a 400 mesh screen, or by other conventional techniques. A firing temperature of 1300�-1500� C. and 0.25-2 hours firing time are preferred.
The scope of the invention can be further appreciated from the following Examples.
A slurry was prepared having the following composition in parts by weight:
______________________________________alumina 581 parts1-butanol 154 parts2-propanol 73 partsxylene 73 partspolyvinyl butyral 25 partsglycerol trioleate 5 partsbutyl benzyl phthalate 49 partspolyethylene glycol 40 parts______________________________________
The slurry was milled with borundum grinding media of 1.25 cm diameter in the Sweco M-18 mill for six hours. The alumina powder used to make the slurry had at least 90% of its alumina particles between 0.5 and 0.8 microns in size. The slurry was then deaerated and tape cast to give a fired thickness of 0.67 mm. The cast tape was dried overnight and sintered for one hour at 1500� C. The resulting substrate plates were flat, and a density of 3.9 Mg/m3, a grain size of less than one micron, and a surface roughness in the range 100-125 nm. A scanning electron micrograph of the fired surface is shown in FIG. 1. FIGS. 2 and 3 show micrographs under similar conditions of commercial substrates from Materials Research Corporation, Orangeburgh, NY, believed to be prepared by the Stetson technique. These conventional products have much larger grain size.
A slurry was prepared similarly to that of Example 1, except that the alumina used had a particle size range 90% between 0.2 and 0.5 microns. Other procedures were the same as for Example 1. The surface structure of the resulting fired substrate is shown in FIG. 4. The grain size is less than 0.5 micron. The surface smoothness was in the range of 50-75 nm.
For this example, an alumina powder with 99.5% chemical purity and with at least 90% of its particles in the size range from 0.1 to 0.3 microns was used. The powder was sized to this range in a mixture of 2-propanol and glycerol trioleate. Of this powder, 600 grams was slurried with 148.4 grams of 2-propanol, 191.4 grams of xylene, and 4.7 grams of fish oil deflocculant. To this a separately prepared mixture of 27.4 grams of polyvinyl butyral resin binder, 43.9 grams of poly(ethylene glycol) plasticizer, and 53.7 grams of butyl benzyl phthalate plasticizer was then added to the slurry and mixed for 4 hours. At this point the mill was opened and 200 ml of a mixture of 2-propanol and xylene in the weight ratio of 1484:1914 was added to adjust viscosity for efficient mixing. Mixing in the mill was then continued for an additional 20 hours.
After this mixing, the slurry was deaerated for 1 hour, then passed through a 400 mesh screen to deagglomerate it. The deaerated and deagglomerated slurry was tape cast, using a doctor blade gap of 0.75 mm, and the casting was dried, in the manner conventional in the manufacture of electronic substrates by tape casting, over a period of time 70-100 hours, to promote slow but thorough elimination of the organic binder without forming even small surface blisters. Final sintering after the completion of drying was at 1450� C. for 15 minutes, to yield a flat substrate plate with an as-fired surface finish of 37.5�2.5 nm and an as-fired density of 3.9 Mg/m3.
Employing the same procedure and starting powders as described in Example 3, but increasing the final mixing time of the liquid slurry in the mill to about 48 hours, a final product which was fired at 1475� C. for 30 minutes, having an average surface finish of 30 nm�2.5 nm was obtained.
Although the practice of this invention has been illustrated primarily by the use of alumina, substrates of other ceramic powders such as zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride and composites can be similarly prepared.

From the Author: Six Simple Ideas for Small Business Marketing
- Buyers trust comments and reviews (even from strangers).
According to a Nielsen Global Trust in Advertising Survey, only 14 percent of people trust advertising, while 78 percent of people trust consumer recommendations. When businesses interact with current customers online, these socially visible interactions feed their referral engine.
- A customer's friends are a business's next best prospects.
We all want to find a rich source of qualified new prospects. Turns out every business already has one! The social networks of your current customers are filled with people like them - people who might be interested in your products or services.
- Rise above the ordinary in small and large ways that wow customers.
To create a connection, understand the experience your business delivers through a customer's eyes...and find one or two spots to create something a little bit special.
- They won't join if they're not asked. (Yes, they really have to be asked!)
People need to know why they should connect to an organization's social media vehicles like Twitter and Facebook. What are they going to get? Ensure that it is easy and compelling for them to connect, and then ask them!
- Engagement drives social visibility.
Social proof is the concept that when we see our friends and colleagues take an action, such as eating at a particular restaurant, that action is an endorsement. Social proof happens through social visibility. When people engage with a business - especially online via social media - their networks see this engagement, and they are enticed to engage, too.
- Engagement matters.
Engagement cements a connection between a business and their current customers, and drives the social visibility that will motivate and inspire repeat and new business. Engagement happens in small doses.
From the Inside Flap
"If you're still scratching your head about how social media can help your small business, you've picked up the right book. Engagement Marketing shows you how to connect with existing customers and create new ones. The expert at small business marketing,Gail Goodman shaves the process down to three easy steps. A must for any growing small business."
W. Kenneth Yancey, Jr., CEO, SCORE
If you've shied away from social media because you just cannot see how it benefits your small business, association, or nonprofit, Engagement Marketing will change your perspective. That's because Gail F. Goodman, CEO of Constant Contact, "gets it." She knows you're pressed for time, on a budget, and just a little bit skeptical of the whole "social media thing."
You already know that word-of-mouth referrals are the lifeblood of your small business and that they ultimately lead to more business. Engagement Marketing builds on this tried-and-true marketing basic, only now Goodman shows you how to do it with referrals that have become publicly visible thanks to social media.
Whether you run a hotel, an accounting firm, or a museum, you'll find lots of creative, cost-effective ways for reaching out to your customers, members, or donors and encouraging them to spread the good word about you online, where it's visible to their friends, families, colleaguesand the world.

Goodman defines the cycle as providing the "Wow! Experience"; Enticing customers to stay in touch; and Engaging customers via social media. She emphasizes that SMBs really need to develop nuance when they are applying messaging via email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and G+. Each has different strengths.
While a lot of SMBs don't think they really have much to say, Goodman provides insights into possible subjects, and case studies on how and when to apply social media techniques, including discussions, promotions, events, polls/surveys, shared information and news and announcements. This book is very helpful, and clearly written.
Equally important to the success of Constant Contact is Gail Goodman's ability to share the spotlight with good resource people and give them a platform to be heard. Unlike some people leading the small business marketing "charge" that want all the attention on them, we have here someone who "gets it" that others have their area of expertise and need to be heard. I want to take that idea and model it for the Local Experts Program in my area. I can't see how we can do anything but be a great resource for small business owners. This book is significant because of the ideas it presents that are "real world" for a small business owner. They would do themselves a favor to read and apply the principles here.

OTHER GENERATIONS: CAMPUS LIFE; A Lost Moment Recaptured
By SARA RIMER
Published: January 9, 2000
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.— AT 43, SANDY COLVARD DID not simply go back to college. She did something far more daring: she quit her job as a logistician with the United States Navy, packed up a U-Haul, drove from her home in Virginia to Smith College in Massachusetts and moved into a dormitory with 84 other undergraduates.
Her room measures all of 9 feet by 9 feet, big enough for a bed, desk and chair. She shares a bathroom with 14 women -- and, on weekends, their boyfriends. Some of the women are messy. They leave hair in the sink. This fall, a chocolate bar landed in the dryer in the laundry. Dorm food is hardly haute cuisine, and dinner is served ridiculously early, at 5:30. Cutter House, four stories of cinder blocks unadorned by a single ivy vine, is considered one of the ugliest buildings on campus. Ms. Colvard, however, is not complaining.
Though her parents had been opposed to her going to college and had re-fused to fill out financial aid forms, she enrolled at the University of Maryland anyway after high school. But she had to quit within a year: she ran out of money and found herself homeless.
Twenty-four years later, Smith College accepted Ms. Colvard into its Ada Comstock Scholars Program, which was begun in 1975 to allow nontraditional-age students to complete their undergraduate degrees.
''When I got the letter that I had been accepted, I sat on the floor of my living room and I cried,'' said Ms. Colvard, whose stepfather was a sheet-metal worker and mother a bookkeeper. Neither went to college.
Ms. Colvard's story is not unusual, despite the advances women have made in higher education (8.4 million women versus 6.7 million men were enrolled in college in 1996, according to the Department of Education's latest statistics). Many of the ''Adas,'' as they are known, have had families who discouraged their academic aspirations, said Eleanor Rothman, who shepherded hundreds of students through the program during her 23 years as its director. ''I got a call once from a Hispanic woman in California whose 45-year-old daughter was here,'' Mrs. Rothman recalled. ''She said, 'I don't know what you people are doing. What does she think she's going to do when she comes home with her fancy degree?' ''
This year, there are 207 women in the program, which is named for Ada Comstock Notestein, who died in 1973 and had been a professor, dean and trustee of Smith and a president of Radcliffe College. While most Adas rent apartments off campus or commute, some prefer the cheaper option of a dorm. This fall, Cutter House is home to 14 older women.
In a way, the program demonstrates that it is possible to recapture a lost moment. ''One of the missions of women's colleges has always been to allow women to think of themselves as individuals and not just in terms of social or familial roles,'' said Ellen Fitzpatrick, a historian at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, who has studied women in higher education.
''Young women are there to learn and to think about who they are and what they can contribute in an environment more free of gendered expectations. Older women who come back to college return with lives already shaped by these expectations, some of them low expectations. It's a situation of unusual freedom to strip away those expectations, to find out what they want to do, to explore different aspects of liberal education and to examine again their own sense of self. It can be, and often is, an exhilarating experience.''
Kathi Legare got married at 19 and became a foster parent at 20. She worked as a waitress and helped run the office of her husband's plumbing business. She was 37 when she entered Smith. She and her husband, Brian, had seven children at home, six of them adopted. She hoped a degree would help her find a career, and commuted two hours each day from Connecticut. She graduated in 1996, earned her master's degree from the Smith College School of Social Work, and is now a social worker.
''I went to Smith without a clear understanding of what anything in the world was about,'' Mrs. Legare said. ''I knew reality from the blue-collar standpoint, but I had no idea about social policy -- other than how it affected my children -- about world politics, about local politics, the courts, the way others lived in general. My eyes opened wide when I got there. I was reading books I never knew existed.''
Alyssa Mahoney, 36, a former hospice caregiver, is juggling her studies at Smith as a premed student with her responsibilities as the single parent of a 4-year-old boy. ''One of the most common responses of Adas when they get into Smith is, 'They made a mistake,' ''said Ms. Mahoney, who is from the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston and, like most Adas, attended community college. ''In your heart, you think, 'I'm here under false pretenses.' ''
Smith is an intensely demanding college. On a recent night at Cutter House, the Adas and the trads, as traditional-age students are called, were mostly engaged in studying. Sandy Colvard was bent over precalculus textbooks in her room. On one wall was a poster with the Smith motto ''Where Women's Minds Matter.''

Just PUublished on Amazon Kindle. Author Frederick Fichman has combined two of his popular books into one volume. The non-fiction 12-book compilation 'Visit the Zoo' and the newly release companion fantasy-fiction novel 'Noah's Adventure' can now be purchased in one book at the Amazon Kindle Bookstore.
The 'Visit the Zoo' 12-Book anthology describes through lively text and hundreds of photographs the lives of 120 zoo animals. These books have been favorably reviewed by the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums in Geneva, Switzerland. The non-fiction 'Visit the Zoo' anthology is like having your own personal docent as you visit your local zoo or sit at home for an armchair visit. The Visit the Zoo series companion fantasy-fiction book is titled, 'Noah's Adventure.' This short novel written for all ages takes the reader on an expedition throughout all seven continents. It has been compared to 'The Little Prince' written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery which has become a classic since it was written in 1944.
Both books are priced below single book purchase rates. The combined volume is available on the Amazon Kindle Bookstore and can be accessed at author Fichman's Amazon sales page: http://amzn.to/1Ta4mCK

Information, posters, descriptions of all the upcoming movies being released from 3/16/2016 - 3/18/2016!
Just Published. Author Frederick Fichman announced today that his newest book, 'Noah's Adventure' has just been published on Amazon Kindle. In conjunction with this announcement, the book will be available for free download, Thursday, January 14, 2016 thru and including Monday, January, 18, 2016. To access the Amazon Kindle link and for more information readers can go to his blog site at: http://www.authorfrederickFichman.com.
The target market for 'Noah's Adventure' is mid-grade level children's books. But the storyline for this seven continent adventure book should have mass appeal in the adult market as well.
The description for 'Noah's Adventure' reads as follow on the Amazon sales page: '...A 12 year old boy, Noah, goes to the zoo with his mother and father and is swept away on a seven continent fantasy adventure. He sees dozens of animals and learns about them in their true habitat. His guide and personal docent, Manny Meercat, teaches Noah about the animals' lives. He also teaches him about the possibilities in life and how to grieve for his brother's recent death. The story and content in 'Noah's Adventure' contains threads from the author's own life and history. It is an emotional personal account in many ways for the author and it is in the same genre as Antoine De Saint-Exupery's 'The Little Prince' and Astrid Lindgren's 'The Brothers Lionheart.' This mid-grade children's book will attract readers from age 10 to adult.'
Frederick Fichman is the author of 30 books now available on Amazon Kindle. His first novel, 'SETI' was previously print-published by Penguin USA in the United States and Canada and Headline Press in the U.K. and Australia.
'Noah's Adventure' is the first in a series of three books. The next two books in his 'Visit the Zoo Fantasy Series' will be completed by late spring or early summer 2016. Mr. Fichman's official website can be accessed by going to: http://www.frederickfichman.com. (more...)
