Sergei Fedorov's late goal completes Caps comeback with 2-1 win over Rangers
New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, from Sweden, stops a shot during the second period of Game 7 against the Washington Capitals in an NHL hockey first-round playoff series Tuesday, April 28, 2009, in Washington. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/Pablo Martinez Monsivais
Sergei Fedorov's late goal completes Caps comeback with 2-1 win over Rangers
WASHINGTON - Thanks to grizzled veteran Sergei Fedorov and a kid goalie with more career starts in the NHL post-season than the regular season, the Washington Capitals are headed to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade.
And they didn't even need a star turn from Alex Ovechkin to complete their monumental comeback.
Fedorov beat Henrik Lundqvist with 4:59 left in the third period, rookie Simeon Varlamov was good in the net when he had to be, and the Capitals edged the New York Rangers 2-1 in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference quarter-final Tuesday night.
Washington is the 21st team in NHL history to win a series after trailing 3-1.
"Let's face it: Realistically, we should have won the first six games," Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said.
It's Washington's first series victory since the 1997-98 season, when it reached the Stanley Cup finals. The success must feel particularly sweet to reigning league MVP Ovechkin and the 15 other players on the Capitals a year ago, when they also trailed 3-1 in the first round, and also forced a Game 7 at home - only to lose to Philadelphia in overtime.
Silent for stretches, even booing when the Capitals were tentative in the second period, the red-clad fans were loud as could be after Fedorov's goal. Capitals players said their ears were ringing a half-hour afterward.
"They've really supported us and I really felt like we had to get a win for them tonight. We had to win," Capitals general manager George McPhee said. "You can't just have good seasons and not win in the playoffs."
Still, the post-game celebration was kept to a minimum in the locker room.
"We have to try to keep our emotions," Ovechkin said, "and get ready for the next round."
Oh, and what a matchup that will be. The Capitals now play Sidney Crosby's Pittsburgh Penguins, a series pitting the past two NHL MVPs. Alex the Great versus Sid the Kid.
Ovechkin had scored in three consecutive games to help Washington get its rally started, but he was mostly silent Tuesday, about 48 hours after proclaiming Lundqvist "can't play every game like a god."
New York's Nik Antropov and Washington's Alexander Semin traded first-period goals, and the Rangers were controlling a lot of the action thereafter.
"I felt so good going into that third period," said Rangers coach John Tortorella, back on the bench after being suspended for squirting water on spectators and throwing a bottle into the stands in Game 5 at Washington.
But it was Fedorov, playing in his eighth career Game 7, who determined the outcome. He took a pass from Matt Bradley and, with Rangers defenceman Wade Redden screening Lundqvist, sent a shot inside the far post for the winner.
"There was not much going on," Fedorov said, "so I decided to shoot the puck."
Good decision. The first player over to celebrate with the 39-year-old Fedorov, a past NHL MVP who won three Stanley Cups with Detroit? Ovechkin, who hopped on the back of his teammate and countryman.
The Rangers, meanwhile, registered only one official shot in the third period, making things easy in the late-going for Varlamov, who turned 21 on Monday.
Antropov put New York ahead about 5 1/2 minutes into the game, but Semin tied it on a shot 10 minutes later that ricocheted off at least one Rangers player and fluttered past Lundqvist.
There was plenty of gamesmanship and intrigue throughout the series: Ovechkin was ordered not to watch the Rangers practice before Game 3; Tortorella benched Avery for Game 5 for accumulating undisciplined penalties; Brandon Dubinsky accused Washington's Shaone Morrisonn of biting him; and Boudreau risked going with Varlamov in place of 2002 league MVP Jose Theodore after a 4-3 loss in Game 1.
That last move looks brilliant now: Varlamov allowed seven goals in six games against New York.
"Like I always say: It's nice to be young and not really know what's going on around you," Fedorov said.
Their season done, the Rangers will wonder how they let the series slip away.
"You look back and you say: We had 'em down, we had our foot on 'em, and we let 'em up," Dubinsky said.
The Capitals now can look ahead.
"Short of winning the Cup, we've met every one of our goals: make the playoffs, win the division, get past the first round, sell out every game," Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said. "We're just checking them off."
Notes: Capitals F Donald Brashear began serving his six-game suspension, mostly for a hit that broke a bone near Rangers F Blair Betts' eye. "It's like not having your big brother in the lineup to protect you," Boudreau said. ... Capitals captain Chris Clark (wrist surgery) played for the first time since January. ... Betts was replaced by Artem Anisimov, brought up from the minors.

Pamela Anderson Lists $7.75 Million Malibu Home For Sale
February 19, 2013 12:00 PM
We have to wonder if Uncle Sam has anything to do with this decision!
Pamela Anderson has listed her Malibu home for sale for $7.75 million after failing to find a tenant who is willing to pay a whopping $50,000 a month to rent the place!
The property measures 2,752 square-feet and has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It boasts beautiful ocean views, a sauna, and a large sundeck. The Baywatch star originally purchased the beachfront abode in 2000 for $1.8 million.
The blonde bombshell began having money troubles in 2009, which could be her motivation to unload the pricey piece of real estate. According to the Franchise Tax Board of California, Pammy owes a whopping $524,241 in unpaid taxes!
Pam must really be feeling the pinch!

Drying herbs for storage
- Wash mint leaves and pat dry.
- Finely chop the leaves.
- Boil small amount of water.
- Add half cup of water to a jug.
- Add 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add two tablespoons good vinegar, I always use malt vinegar because that's what my mother used.
- Add mint leaves, and stir.
Or you can bottle it in a fancy bottle for a gift or store it in a jar for your own use during the next few months.
Are you a leaf dryer too?
21 comments
Hi Rhonda, thanks for these great tips. I haven't tried growing my own herbs but am tempted to do so. In other wonderful news, I picked up your book the other day. Sadly it is a present for me from my daughter for Christmas and I'm not allowed to look at it till then. To avoid temptation I have given it to my husband to hide (daughter lives interstate). I am so looking forward to receiving that on the day! Cheers Judy
ReplyDeleteI've only recently started drying herbs and currently have a mass of bay leaves drying after visiting my parents and helping myself to their tree! My sister and her husband now pop over with their excess when they prune various bushy herbs so it's working out rather well for us! Saves so much money!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a leaf dryer and a petal puller too. If you keep picking your chamomile it will produce more flower heads. Great for teas, salves and sleep pillows. Calendula is another big harvest here. I use it in my soaps, salves and tub teas for the bath. Nettle is my next biggest leaf harvest for drying, followed by the usual herbs and comfrey. Lavender and wormwood are also dried for potpourri and wardrobe sachets. Gosh there is a lot of bounty for a whole year.

What a simple thing to do - Its funny though - it has never occurred to me to dry my own herbs but I will do it this year, a simple quick and easy way to increase my DIY homemaking skills! Might extend my herb range on the weekend, as I usually only have enough needed for using fresh, thanks for the great tip! :)

xx Thank you for this post, very handy to have your own herbs all year, not just when they are doing well in the garden.
I managed to find a Lemon Myrtle tree for sale ...the day AFTER I made a batch of soap, so it will have to go in the next batch, could you tell me how much fresh or dry weight of leaves I will need for a standard size batch of the 4 ingredient soap.
So nice to see you have had lovely family time recently.Hi Rhonda
This is the first year we have grown herbs , basil and parsley . I live in Melbourne it's cooler here can I dry them the same or will I have to dry them in the oven
LindaI grew up with mint sauce on roast lamb, not mint jelly that you buy now, mint sauce that was actually as you describe, not really 'sauce' but just sugar, mint chopped up and malt vinegar ( my mum always used white malt..)...it was always my job to go down the back and 'pick the mint for the mint sauce'....
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, indeed. I do cut and dry herbs. So far stevia, lemon balm, spearmint, peppermint, orange mint, sage, lavender, thyme, patchouli, oregano, variegated marjoram, savory, and mexican tarragon. I haven't harvested tansy and pyrethrum so far because I have them to discourage unwanted insects. I use a small dehydrator. I might look at some new varieties next year.
ReplyDeleteThis is my year for drying herbs. I dried parsley by laying it on racks on the plate warmer above my wood stove and it dried beautifully overnight. I still can't quite believe just how amazing it tastes compared the to the bought stuff. I also dried celery leaves the same way. Then I lashed out (after much careful consideration) and bought a dehydrator. Quite a bit of what I want to dry is at it's peak during the summer months and it's its far to hot to light the wood stove a dehydrator seemed the next best option. Now I'm experimenting....lol.
ReplyDeleteI had a deja vu moment reading this post: I went out this morning and cut a bunch of herbs for drying - mint, sage, basil, oregano and thyme. I've not attempted drying them myself before but this past winter I got quite annoyed with myself for not having thought of it because I had to purchase herbs from the supermarket once the fresh herbs had died off. Lesson learned!
~S.Thank you for the helpful information about when and how to save herbs. I only have coriander, mint, and sweet basil at the moment, but a friend gave me some seeds so I will have more variety soon. I am loving tomatoes at the moment. A friend took me to lunch and the tomatoes served had no taste compared to mine. My favourite tip from you of all time is how to store celery. As a single girl, I struggled to use it up before it went soggy. Now, I have it on hand! I use it for soup, tuna salad, and with peanut butter or cream cheese. debbie ps I live about an hour from you.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I've been doing too, but with a new, bare garden I had to buy mine in, but only for pennies, as it is fast approaching winter here. You can also open freeze herbs, which works really well with parsley/celery leaves; just chop up, open freeze on a baking tray (only takes about an hour) and then store in a plastic tub in the freezer and just sprinkle on to soups, scrambled eggs, etc. They keep their colour, aroma and texture, lovely!
Jak xI am a 'freezer' rather than a 'dryer'!!! Now that I know how long mint sauce will last in the fridge, I will make up a batch. We are quickly heading for winter here in the UK, but I have put all my herb pots in the greenhouse and may be able to gather enough mint to make the sauce this year! I would love a de-hydrator though to dry fruit and veg from my garden. I wonder if Father Christmas will bring me one?
ReplyDeleteI've been playing around with herb drying the last two years, but I always wait too long and harvest one huge batch at the end of the season. I bet I'd like the result better if I harvested a little at a time to dry when it was fresh and growing strong rather than waiting until the end of the season. Good idea for next year (as its getting on winter here).
ReplyDeleteso many wonderful tips! Even though we no longer live in a house (we live in a mouse hole) lol,I still dry herbs and you know what I found works, you will laugh but I layer them in paper towels and put them under my bed. I'm not sure why but it dries them beautifully, I had a great airing cupboard in the house I used and a drying rack Garry built but I must say the under the bed method works great! Must have something to do with the cement under the carpet in the condo we live in, of course sometimes you dream of pizza but alls good in th end! Thank you again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm coming to the party a little late but I've just discovered your blog (love it by the way). Just wanted to pipe up and say that I use my dehydrator fairly regularly to dry herbs. Chilis I string up or spread on the windowsill. I find with basil that I prefer to make a basil paste in my mortar and pestle, and freeze in ice cube trays or flat in ziplock bags. I've also preserved a few jars of basil by layering leaves with salt.
Thank you for your comment today. I love reading your opinions and thoughts. We have built up a wonderfully diverse community here that I'm very proud to be a part of.

One thing about Port Angeles . . .
There are a lot of tattoo shops in Port Angeles, Wash.
You don't even need to eavesdrop to constantly overhear girls talk about the "tat" they are going to get or got the day they turn 18.
Maybe it's a small-town thing.
I swear to you, the two most recession-proof business are tattoo shops and sign shops. However, not recession-proof enough for Port Angeles to support tattoo shops named "Slung Down" and "Naughty Nurse Tattoo" for even a year.

A perpendicular magnetic recording medium such as a floppy disk is created by providing on at least one surface of a non-magnetic support, a magnetic layer having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and a protective layer by sputtering. First, a magnetic layer is provided, secondly, the magnetic layer is surface treated by a plasma treatment or by applying an oxide layer or a nitride layer thereon and thirdly, the protective layer is applied thereto.
What is claimed is:
1. In a perpendicular magnetic recording disk comprising a non-magnetic base having on at least one surface thereof, a magnetic layer having perpendicular anisotropy and anoverlying protective layer; the improvement wherein the surface of said magnetic layer is plasma treated; and wherein the perpendicular magnetic layer has a thickness in a range of from 0.03 to 5 .mu.m and is comprised of an alloy mainly composed ofCo-Cr and wherein the protective layer is made of carbon and said layer is formed by a sputtering method and has a thickness of from 0.002 .mu.m to 0.1 .mu.m.
2. In a perpendicular magnetic recording disk comprising a non-magnetic base having provided on at least one surface thereof a magnetic layer having a perpendicular anisotropy and a protective layer, the improvement comprising providing one ofan oxide layer and a nitride layer between said magnetic layer and said protective layer; and wherein the perpendicular magnetic layer has a thickness in a range of from 0.03 to 5 .mu.m and is comprised of an alloy mainly composed of Co-Cr and whereinthe protective layer is made of carbon and said layer is formed by a sputtering method and has a thickness of from 0.002 .mu.m to 0.1 .mu.m.
The present invention relates to a perpendicular recording medium and the method for preparing the same, and more particularly to the production of a perpendicular recording medium having improved running durability.
A perpendicular magnetic recording system using a magnetic recording medium having an axis of easy magnetization perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic layer thereof has recently been proposed. This perpendicular magnetic recording systemis said to be substantially very suitable for high density recording, since in this system, the higher the recording density becomes, the greater the reduction in the demagnetization field of a magnetic recording medium, resulting in excellent reproducedoutput.
A magnetic recording medium having an axis of easy magnetization perpendicular to the surface of a magnetic layer thereof is needed to perform perpendicular magnetic recording. In this connection, the perpendicular magnetic recording mediumcomprises a base or a support composed of non-magnetic materials such as high molecular weight materials or non-magnetic metals having coated thereon Co-Cr alloy and the like by a sputtering method or the like.
Also the perpendicular magnetic recording medium of so called two layered type is known, wherein a layer with high magnetic permeability composed of soft magnetic materials such as, for example, a permalloy layer (Ni-Fe type alloy) is providedunder the perpendicular magnetic layer composed of Co-Cr alloy as described above to improve the recording and reproducing efficiency during perpendicular magnetic recording and reproducing.
Flexible disks and the like using the above described perpendicular magnetic recording system, employ a dual perpendicular magnetic recording medium of the two layered type wherein the above described under layer is provided on both surfaces ofthe support and is excellent since such perpendicular magnetic recording medium can contain voluminous recorded information and curling can easily be improved for the floppy disk.
Both the perpendicular magnetic recording medium and the dual perpendicular magnetic recording medium can be prepared by coating the above described materials continuously or discontinuously on a support using a sputtering apparatus.
The above described perpendicular magnetic recording medium can largely be expected to be used as a magnetic tape and as a magnetic disk, because it is suitable for high density recording. However, such medium generally has a serious problem ofpoor running durability. For example, in case of a perpendicular magnetic recording disk provided with Co-Cr alloy layer, running can not often be continued beyond about 10,000 passes because of coagulation occurring on the surface of the alloy layer.
To solve the above problem, it has been proposed to provide a protective layer made of carbon, SiO.sub.2 and BN, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 133627/1983. The term "OPI" as used herein means an "unexamined publishedapplication". Alternatively, SiC, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 130437/83 may be applied on the surface of a magnetic layer by a sputtering method.
However the above proposal to improve the running durability is not satisfactory and there is still the problem that the reproducing property of products manufactured using the same manufacturing steps is poor, that is, excellent durability cannot always be obtained.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a perpendicular magnetic recording medium having a good reproducing property and largely improved running durability.
As a result of thorough investigations to solve the above problems it was found that a perpendicular magnetic recording medium having remarkably improved running durability and good reproducing property can be obtained by providing a protectivelayer after conducting surface treatment such as plazma treatment. oxidation treatment or nitration treatment on the magnetic layer.
That is, the present invention relates to a perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support having provided on at least one of surfaces, a magnetic layer having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and a protective layer bya sputtering method, wherein first, a magnetic layer is provided, secondly, the magnetic layer is surface-treated by a plazma treatment, or by applying an oxide layer or a nitride layer and thirdly, a protective layer is applied thereon.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of one apparatus for manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording medium of the present invention.
FIGS. 2 and 3 are graphs showing the results of running tests in Examples of the present invention.
The present invention is described in more detail below.
In the present invention, a perpendicular magnetic film having an axis of easy magnetization perpendicular to the film surface such as, for example, Co-Cr film is first provided on one or on both of surfaces of a non-magnetic base by a thin filmforming method such as a sputtering method, a vacuum evaporation method, an ion plating method, or the like. In this case, a soft magnetic film having low coercive force or high magnetic permeability such as, for example, a permalloy film may beprovided by a sputtering method and so on before a perpendicular magnetic film is formed. The above described perpendicular film can be a single layer or a plural layer. A non-magnetic sublayer can be provided between the base and the perpendicularmagnetic layer, and a non-magnetic intermediate layer can be provided between a soft magnetic layer and the perpendicular magnetic layer. Accordingly, the magnetic layer referred to in the present invention includes both a perpendicular magnetic filmand the combination of a soft magnetic film and a perpendicular magnetic film.
As a non-magnetic base used in the present invention. film-like high molecular weight materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide, polyamide and so on are particularly effective. Non-metal materials such as glass and metalmaterials are also used.
As a material for a soft magnetic film, not only permalloy alloy such as Ni-Fe, Ni-Fe-Mo. Ni-Fe-Mo-Cu, etc. may be used, but also soft magnetic alloy materials such as Fe, Fe-Al-Si, Fe-Ni-O, Fe-Ti, Ni-Fe-Cu-Cr-Mn, Fe-Si-B, Fe-B-C, Fe-Al,Co-V-Fe, Co-Ta, Co-Zr, Co-Nb-Zr, Co-Ti, Co-Nb-Ta, Co-Ni-Zr, Fe-Ni-P, Fe-Co-Zr, Co-Mo-Zr and the like can also be used.
The soft magnetic film may have a thickness from 0.03 to 5 microns, preferably from 0.1 to 1 micron.
For the perpendicular magnetic film, it is necessary that the axis of easy magnetization be almost perpendicular to the surface of the support and an alloy material mainly composed of Co-Cr, is preferred, which material is well known as asuitable material for a perpendicular magnetic film.
The perpendicular magnetic film should have a thickness from about 0.03 to 5 microns, preferably from 0.05 to 1 micron.
A vapour deposition method or a sputtering method can be used as a means to form a film. A so-called continuous sputtering method using an apparatus having a plurality of high speed sputtering sources installed around plural cylindrical cans asdescribed hereinafter in Example is preferred.
As a sputtering source, Co-Cr alloy can be used. When a Co-Cr alloy film is prepared, and Co and Cr can be used separately as a target.
The cylindrical can should have a temperature of 30.degree. C. or higher to prevent magnetic anisotropy occurring inside of the hard magnetic film as prepared. The upper limit of the temperature is preferably 9O.degree. C. or lower, because ata higher temperature gas discharges from the support and oligomer is deposited.
In order to reduce the occurrence of anisotropy and unevenness of the film surface, the temperature of the can is particularly maintained preferably from 45.degree. to 65.degree. C. When Co-Cr film is formed it is preferable to heat thecylindrical can to 90.degree. C. or higher to obtain desired Hc (perpendicular) and it is particularly preferable to heat it to 120.degree. C. or higher. Thus, the present invention is characterized by steps such that the surface of the thus preparedmagnetic layer is treated by plazma treatment, oxidation treatment or nitration treatment to provide thereon and thereafter, a protective layer.
The plazma treatment may be a glow discharge treatment using direct current or alternating current of high frequency and a reverse sputtering treatment using high frequency and direct current.
Glow discharge treatment comprises charging the magnetic recording medium provided with a magnetic layer with voltage of about 500 V within an Argon atmosphere of from 10.sup.-1 to 10.sup.-4 Torr in a vacuum bath (e.g., a sputtering apparatus),thereby generating glow discharge on the surface of a magnetic layer.
When a magnetic layer is formed by a sputtering method (wherein a cylindrical can is charged with -, and the target is charged with +). The reverse sputtering treatment comprises charging reservably (the cylindrical can is charged +, and thetarget is charged -) at about 500 V so that Argon beats the surface of the magnetic layer.
In this manner, on the surface of thus plazma treated magnetic layer is provided with a protective layer by a sputtering method and the like.
The oxidation treatment and nitration treatment comprise a glow discharge treatment (O.sub.2 or N.sub.2, about 500 V at from 10.sup.-1 to 10.sup.-4 Torr) in the presence of oxygen or nitrogen. Reverse sputtering can be conducted in the presenceof oxygen or nitrogen; or oxygen ions or nitrogen ions can be shot to the surface of the magnetic layer by an ion gun. As to sputtering, the magnetic layer may be provided by a sputtering method by charging a cylindrical can and a target. Reversesputtering comprises charging reversely (opposite polarities) in an oxygen or nitrogen atmosphere of from 10.sup.-1 to 10.sup.-4 Torr.
In this manner, the surface of the magnetic layer is thus provided with an oxide layer or nitride layer and is further provided with a protective layer by a sputtering method and the like.
Carbon, SiO.sub.2, Co-O-Cr, Cr-0 and the like are used and carbon is the most preferred for in preparing a protective layer.
The thickness of a protective layer is from 0.002 .mu.m to 0.1 .mu.m, particularly preferably from 0.005 to 0.05 .mu.m.
In accordance with the present invention, a perpendicular magnetic recording medium having remarkably improved running durability can be obtained with good manufacturing reproducibility.
FIG. 1 is a schematic outline of one of a sputtering apparatus for preparing the perpendicular magnetic recording medium of the present invention.
A dual perpendicular magnetic recording medium of two layered type was prepared using a dual continuous sputtering apparatus as shown in FIG. 1. The rolled polyimide film 41 having a thickness of 5O .mu.m was set on the send-out axis 42 so thatthe film 41 was wound up by a take-up axis 45 through intermediate rollers and about cooled cylindrical cans 43 and 44. The vacuum bath was divided into three rooms, that is, a sending out room 46, a sputtering room 47 and a take-up room 48 with eachroom partitioned off by partitions 49 and 50. Each room was degassed at degass openings 51, 52, 53 and 54. In the sputtering room, sputter cathodes 55 and 57 of DC magnetron system containing carbon and sputter cathodes 56 and 58 of RF magnetron systemcontaining Co-Cr target (Co 82 - Cr 18 wt % ) were provided.
The sputtering room 47 was vacuum degassed to 1.times.10.sup.-6 Torr or lower and thereafter Ar gas was introduced through a gas introducing opening 59 to maintain the room about 5.times.10.sup.-3 torr. On the polyimide film 41 sent out from thesend-out axis 42 at a carrying rate of 20 mm/min, a Co-Cr film of about 3,000 .ANG. was formed on one surface (O side) by a sputter cathode 56 at the position of can 43. Sequentially, on the other surface (I side) of the film 41 a Co-Cr film was formedof about 3,000 .ANG. by a sputter cathode 58 at the position of can 44 and then the film was taken up by a take-up axis 45.
In case of plazma treatment, the polyimide film with both of surfaces thus provided with Co-Cr films was reversely sent out from the take-up axis 45, undergoing reverse sputtering treatment on both surfaces in an atmosphere of Ar at the positionsof cans 43 and 44 by changing polarities of sputtering reversely, and was taken up at sent-out axis 42.
Sequently, putting back the polarities of sputtering, the thus treated film was sent out again from the sent-out axis 42, and at the positions of can 43 and 44, a protective layer of carbon was formed by carbon cathodes 55 and 57 on the film andthe film was taken up by a take-up axis 45.
In case of oxide treatment, the polyimide film with both surfaces thus provided with Co-Cr films was reversely sent out from the take-up axis 45. The sputtering room was degassed to 1.times.10.sup.-6 Torr or lower, stopping the Ar gas jet andmaintaining oxygen gas at about 5.times.10.sup.-3 Torr. Changing polarities of sputtering, the polyimide film received reverse sputtering in an atmosphere of oxygen at the positions of cans 43 and 44 and the film with both of its surfaces treated withoxygen was taken up by a sent-out axis 42.
Then, by restoring the oxygen atmosphere to an Ar atmosphere and putting back the sputtering polarities, the thus oxide treated polyimide film was sent out again from the send-out axis 42, a protective layer of carbon having a thickness of 200.ANG. was formed by carbon cathodes 55 and 57 at the positions of can 43 and 44, on the film, and then the film was taken up by take-up axis 45.
The nitration treatment was carried out in the similar manner as in the case of oxide treatment.
The thus prepared perpendicular magnetic recording medium was cut into a disk having a diameter of 3.5 inches and was inserted into a commercially available disk jacket.
After recording was preformed on the commercially available floppy disk drive, the disk was rotated at 600 r.p.m. and while monitoring the reproduced signals, the disk was kept running until it stopped. The number of passes until the diskstoped was measured. (This test was terminated at maximum passes of 10,000,000.)
For comparison, perpendicular magnetic recording media prepared without plazma treatment (reverse sputtering treatment), oxidation treatment (reVerse sputtering at oxygen atmosphere) or nitration treatment (reverse sputtering at nitrogenatmosphere) and the perpendicular magnetic recording medium having only Co-Cr layer were prepared and the tests were carried out in the similar manner as above. Ten samples were prepared for each case and were tested. FIG. 2 shows the results whenplazma treatment was performed, and FIG. 3 shows the result when oxidation treatment was performed.
As clear from FIGS. 2 and 3 samples having only Co-Cr layer were unable to continue running at about 10,000 passes or more, samples having a carbon protective layer without plazma treatment nor oxidation treatment exhibit variable runningdurabilities, since those samples were unable to be run at from about 10,000 to 10,000,000 passes and the reproducing property was poor, while samples of the present invention were run up to about 10,000 passes. exhibiting excellent durability andexcellent sound reproducing property.
The above described samples show the cases where plazma treatment or oxidation treatment were performed by the reverse sputtering method. Plazma treatment, oxidation treatment and nitration treatment can be also performed by glow treatment.
After the above described soft magnetic layer is applied, a further Co-Cr layer can be applied thereon.

[This is Chapter 1 of the Student Edition of my Exit Tax book.]
This chapter contains a quick summary of how the exit tax system works: who is affected and what happens to them.
The exit tax is a Federal tax provision that–in its current incarnation–was put into place in June, 2008.
The phrase "exit tax" is not used in the Internal Revenue Code, but is a shorthand that everyone seems to use. I will use it here.
It is an "exit" tax because it applies to someone who is leaving the United States in a specified way—by termination of citizenship or permanent resident status.
It is a "tax" because it imposes an income tax on someone who has made his or her exit from the United States. The defining feature is that all assets are treated as if they are sold on the day before citizenship or resident status is terminated. If there is any profit from that "pretend" sale, it is taxed immediately. This is the "mark-to-market" feature of the exit tax rules.
There are other income tax provisions of the exit tax rules. The basic idea is to completely settle up all income tax obligations with the United States as you leave.
There is a second tax aspect to the exit tax rules. This aspect applies to gifts by or inheritances from persons who meet a special definition in the exit tax rules. If you are a Covered Expatriate then any U.S. person who receives a gift from you or an inheritance at the time of your death will pay a tax.
This is upside down from the normal U.S. gift and estate tax system. The normal procedure is to impose a gift tax on the person making a gift, or impose the estate tax on the assets of the deceased person. The recipient of gifts or inheritances receives everything tax-free.
Because it is a tax law, there is a truckload of paperwork required. Doing it right and doing it on time is essential to making your exit from the United States with a minimum of tax pain.
The exit tax law is found in Section 877A of the Internal Revenue Code (for the income tax provisions) and Section 2801 (for the estate and gift tax provisions).
Apart from the law itself, the only other significant piece of information from the government about how the exit tax works is found in Notice 2009-85. It discusses income tax matters only. There is conspicuous silence from the government on the estate and gift tax aspects of renouncing citizenship or permanent resident status.
If you have the correct status (citizen or long term resident) and an expatriation event occurs, the exit tax rules described in this book will apply to you.
The exit tax applies to two categories of people:
People who fall into those two categories need to walk warily through the tax landscape. If you do not fall into one of those categories, you do not need to worry further about the exit tax rules.
Someone who is a U.S. citizen can terminate citizenship voluntarily. In infrequent situations, the government terminates the citizenship of an individual. Dual citizenship does not matter. Holding another passport in addition to a U.S. passport will not affect the tax results discussed in this book.
Many people acquire U.S. citizenship status unknowingly—a parent is a U.S. citizen, for instance. If you are a U.S. citizen in this way, even if you never travelled to the United States–the exit tax applies to you.
The second category of people who care about the exit tax are "long term residents." These are people who have permanent resident status in the United States. Most people refer to this as a "green card" visa. So will I.
Just having a green card will not be enough to subject you to the exit tax. You must have held the green card visa for a sufficiently long time. The length of time is curiously defined as "in at least 8 of the last 15 years". This is harder to figure out than you would think. Which years count and which do not? This will be discussed later in this book.
You are not subjected to the exit tax just because you are a citizen or a Long Term Resident. There is another critical requirement: an "expatriation event" must occur.
An expatriation event for a citizen is simple. You were a U.S. citizen, and now you are not. Usually this is an action taken by the individual, rather than the government. There are two ways this can happen, called "renunciation" and "relinquishment" of citizenship. If you are worried about the difference between the two, you need a lawyer.
For the typical person, renunciation is the path. Fill in a number of forms from the Department of State. Make an appointment at an Embassy or Consulate somewhere, and show up for an exit interview. Answer some questions, sign some papers, and wait for a confirmation in the mail–a Certificate of Loss of Nationality. Perhaps you will be told pick it up at the Embassy or Consulate. Procedures vary by location, and the Department of State changes its procedures periodically.
An expatriation event for a Long Term Resident is a bit more complicated.
Like citizenship, you can expatriate by voluntarily terminating your green card visa. In this case, the form to prepare is the I-407 form.
Also like citizenship, you can expatriate by having your green card visa formally revoked by the government, against your will. If the U.S. government thinks you have been outside the United States too long, this may be taken as evidence that you no longer intend to make the United States your permanent home. Reentry to the United States might trigger an unpleasant episode at the airport for you at the hands of the immigration officers. You may be faced with a "Sign the papers!" demand that will strip you of your visa and put you on a flight out of the United States. And that unhappy event will trigger an unanticipated U.S. tax problem.
Finally, making a tax election can be an expatriation event for a Long Term Resident. Green card holders living outside the United States may be able to make an election under an income tax treaty between the United States and that country. This action causes the individual to be taxed as a nonresident of the United States, and a resident of the other country. Making this election is done on Form 8833. When done by a Long Term Resident, it is an expatriation event, triggering the exit tax
The exit tax works like this:
Determine whether you are an "Expatriate." If you are not an Expatriate, the exit tax rules do not apply to you. If you are an Expatriate, you have some paperwork requirements to satisfy. You may or may not also be required to pay some tax. The pleasure of tax payments is reserved for you only if you are also a Covered Expatriate.
A Covered Expatriate is someone who is an Expatriate and who satisfies (or fails, depending on your point of view) one of three ways.
You are a Covered Expatriate if you are:
Paperwork failures fall into three categories. You ensure Covered Expatriate status if you are late in filing the required paperwork when you expatriate, you are not up to date for your U.S. tax filings for the previous five years, or . . . how do we say this politely? . . . fail to be less than scrupulously truthful.
Someone who is merely an Expatriate files an income tax return for the year of expatriation. It is a complicated tax return, consisting of a Form 1040NR, Form 1040, and Form 8854.
Covered Expatriates do the same paperwork. But they also pay U.S. income tax in the year of expatriation. The tax calculations are described in later chapters.
Covered Expatriates also have a continuing U.S. tax problem. If they make a gift to a U.S. person, the recipient must pay gift tax on the gift received from the Covered Expatriate. If the Covered Expatriate dies and leaves an inheritance to a U.S. person, the recipient pays the gift tax on the money received.

Job Title: Portamedic
Type of Company: My company is a sub-contractor for a life insurance company. When individuals apply for life insurance we provide them with a brief medical exam and conduct a brief medical history interview.
Education: certificate, Medical Assistant, Shawsheen Valley Technical High School Adult Education Program (Billerica, MA)
Previous Experience: I worked as a waitress and enjoyed working with people, but I didn't like the inconsistent money. I wanted to do something where I could help people.
Job Tasks: As a portamedic I receive my orders the day before an exam. I call to confirm my appointments and let people know what to expect. I complete some pre-exam paperwork so that when I am at a potential insurees house I have less paperwork to do. When I arrive for an appointment I introduce myself and begin my work. I first ask for the drivers license and application of the insuree. I verify that the person I am speaking to is who they should be and I do some in-depth questioning about their medical history, doctor and family history. I weigh the patient, take their height, blood pressure and pulse. I ask them to urinate in a cup and then I pour it into two testing tubes. I draw blood into two vials and I review their application. I collect all my paperwork and mail it to my office. When I get home I put one tube of blood into the a centrifuge and spin it to separate it. I then ship the containers to a lab for testing.
There are times when insurees cannot urinate and then a second appointment needs to be made. There are also times when I can't find a vein for a blood draw and again another appointment needs to be made.
Best and Worst Parts of the Job: The best part of the job is interacting with different people. Talking to them about their lives and making them feel at ease during their appointment. The worst part is people forgetting about their appointment, canceling at the last minute, not being able to find a vein to draw blood and finding out at the last minute what my day looks like tomorrow.
Job Tips:
1. Be flexible with your schedule. Go when you are needed so you can make a consistent income. Don't say no to an appointment for no real reason.
2. Get as much training in phlebotomy as possible.
3. Remember this is a customer service business. Be kind to everyone, even if they are not being kind to you.

I have a question about the recipe "Lemony Sardine Pate" from HalfPint. could you substitute for butter to make it healthier? if so, what?
From Our Friends
powered by ZergNet
Go for the butter. First, if you get real, good quality butter, why would you think it is unhealthy? Spring butters from grass-fed cattle grazing of plants and blossoms contains good phytochemicals that are good for you. Secondly, replacing butter with some artificial oil will destroy the taste. Make it according to the recipe and enjoy it in moderation.
You can try to reduce the butter by half and add more olive oil. A nice fruity extra virgin oil would work here. But don't attempt to remove the fat in this recipe. It keeps the spread moist and the texture smooth. I originally made this with 1 stick of butter and felt that it was too much butter, even though it was really good, so I reduced the butter by half and added in the olive oil from the sardines. A little does go a long way.
