1. Field of the Invention
Embodiments of the invention relate to the processing of semiconductor substrates. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to improvements in the process of depositing refractory metal layers on semiconductor substrates.
2. Description of the Related Art
The semiconductor processing industry continues to strive for larger production yields while increasing the uniformity of layers deposited on substrates having larger surface areas. These same factors in combination with new materials also provide higher density of circuits per unit area of the substrate. As circuit density increases, the need for greater uniformity and process control regarding layer thickness rises. As a result, various technologies have been developed to deposit layers on substrates in a cost-effective manner, while maintaining control over the characteristics of the layer. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of the most common deposition processes employed for depositing layers on a substrate. CVD is a flux-dependent deposition technique that requires precise control of the substrate temperature and precursors introduced into the processing chamber in order to produce a desired layer of uniform thickness. These requirements become more critical as substrate size increases (e.g., from 200 mm diameter substrates to 300 mm substrates), creating a need for more complexity in chamber design and gas flow technique to maintain adequate uniformity.
A variant of CVD that demonstrates superior step coverage compared to CVD, is atomic layer deposition (ALD). ALD is based upon atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) that was employed originally to fabricate electroluminescent displays. ALD employs chemisorption to deposit a saturated monolayer of reactive precursor molecules on a substrate surface by alternating pulses of an appropriate reactive precursor into a deposition chamber. Each injection of a reactive precursor is separated by an inert gas purge to provide an adsorbed atomic layer to previously deposited layers to form a uniform layer on the substrate. The cycle is repeated to form the layer to a desired thickness. A drawback with ALD techniques is that the deposition rate is much lower than typical CVD techniques by at least one order of magnitude.
Formation of film layers at a high deposition rate while providing adequate step coverage are conflicting characteristics often necessitating sacrificing one to obtain the other. This conflict is true particularly when refractory metal layers are deposited to cover apertures or vias during formation of contacts that interconnect adjacent metallic layers separated by dielectric layers. Historically, CVD techniques have been employed to deposit conductive material such as refractory metals in order to inexpensively and quickly fill vias. Due to the increasing density of semiconductor circuitry, tungsten has been used based upon superior step coverage to fill these high aspect ratio structures. As a result, deposition of tungsten employing CVD techniques enjoys wide application in semiconductor processing due to the high throughput of the process and good step coverage.
Depositing tungsten by traditional CVD methods, however, is attendant with several disadvantages. For example, blanket deposition of a tungsten layer on a semiconductor wafer is time-consuming at temperatures below 400� C. The deposition rate of tungsten may be improved by increasing the deposition temperature between approximately 500� C. to 550� C. However, temperatures in this higher range may compromise the structural and operational integrity of the underlying portions of the integrated circuit being formed. Use of tungsten has also complicated photolithography steps during the manufacturing process as it results in a relatively rough surface having a reflectivity of 20% or less than that of a silicon substrate. Finally, tungsten has proven difficult to uniformly deposit on a substrate. Variance in film thickness of greater than 1% has been shown, thereby causing poor control of the resistivity of the layer. Several prior attempts to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks have been attempted.
For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,028,565 to Chang et al., which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention, a method is disclosed to improve, inter alia, uniformity of tungsten layers by varying the deposition chemistry. The method includes, in pertinent part, formation of a nucleation layer over an intermediate barrier layer before depositing the tungsten layer via bulk deposition. The nucleation layer is formed from a gaseous mixture of tungsten hexafluoride, hydrogen, silane and argon. The nucleation layer is described as providing a layer of growth sites to promote uniform deposition of a tungsten layer thereon. The benefits provided by the nucleation layer are described as being dependent upon the barrier layer present. For example, the uniformity of a tungsten layer is improved by as much as 15% when formed on a titanium nitride barrier layer. The benefits provided by the nucleation layer are not as pronounced if the barrier layer formed from sputtered tungsten or sputtered titanium tungsten.
A need exists, therefore, to provide techniques to improve the characteristics of refractory metal layers deposited on semiconductor substrates.
A method and system to form a refractory metal layer over a substrate includes introduction of a reductant, such as PH3 or B2H6, followed by introduction of a tungsten containing compound, such as WF6, to form a tungsten layer. It is believed that the reductant reduces the fluorine content of the tungsten layer while improving the step coverage and resistivity of the tungsten layer. It is believed that the improved characteristics of the tungsten film are attributable to the chemical affinity between the reductants and the tungsten containing compound. The chemical affinity provides better surface mobility of the adsorbed chemical species and better reduction of WF6 at the nucleation stage of the tungsten layer.
The method can further include sequentially introducing a reductant, such as PH3 or B2H6, and a tungsten containing compound to deposit a tungsten layer. The formed tungsten layer can be used as a nucleation layer followed by bulk deposition of a tungsten layer utilizing standard CVD techniques. Alternatively, the formed tungsten layer can be used to fill an aperture.

Depending on the specific process, substrate 42 may be heated to a desired temperature prior to layer deposition via a heater embedded within pedestal 38. For example, pedestal 38 may be resistively heated by applying an electric current from AC power supply 43 to heater element 44. Substrate 42 is, in turn, heated by pedestal 38, and can be maintained within a desired process temperature range of, for example, about 20� C. to about 750� C. A temperature sensor 46, such as a thermocouple, is also embedded in wafer support pedestal 38 to monitor the temperature of pedestal 38 in a conventional manner. For example, the measured temperature may be used in a feedback loop to control the electrical current applied to heater element 44 by power supply 43 such that the substrate temperature can be maintained or controlled at a desired temperature that is suitable for the particular process application. Optionally, pedestal 38 may be heated using radiant heat (not shown). A vacuum pump 48 is used to evacuate processing chamber 37 and to help maintain the proper gas flows and pressure inside processing chamber 37.

Other by-products include but are not limited to H2, HF or F2. Other reactions are also possible, such as decomposition reactions. In other embodiments, other reductants may be used, such as SiH4. Similarly, in other embodiments, other tungsten containing gases may be used, such as W(CO)6.
The purge gas includes Ar, He, N2, H2, other suitable gases, and combinations thereof. One or more purge gas may be used.
The benefits of employing the sequential deposition technique are many fold, including flux-independence of layer formation that provides uniformity of deposition independent of the size of a substrate. For example, the measured difference of the layer uniformity and thickness measured between a 200 mm substrate and a 300 mm substrate deposited in the same chamber is negligible. This is due to the self-limiting characteristics of the sequential deposition techniques. Further, this technique contributes to improved step coverage over complex topography.
In addition, the thickness of the layer B, shown in
To that end, a bulk deposition of the refractory metal layer may be included in the deposition process. Typically, the bulk deposition of the refractory metal occurs after the nucleation layer is formed in a common processing chamber. Specifically, in the present example, nucleation of a tungsten layer occurs in chamber 12 employing the sequential deposition techniques discussed above, with substrate 42 being heated in the range of about 200� C. to about 400� C., and processing chamber 37 being pressurized in the range of about 1 Torr to about 10 Torr. A nucleation layer 60 of approximately about 120 Å to about 200 Å is formed on a patterned substrate 42, shown in
In an alternative embodiment, a bifurcated deposition process may be practiced in which nucleation of the refractory metal layer occurs in a chamber that is different from the chamber in which the remaining portion of the refractory metal layer is formed. Specifically, in the present example, nucleation of a tungsten layer occurs in chamber 12 employing the sequential deposition techniques, such as ALD, discussed above. To that end, substrate 42 is heated in the range of about 200� C. to about 400� C. and chamber 37 is pressurized in the range of about 1 Torr to about 10 Torr. A nucleation layer 60 of approximately 120 Å to 200 Å is formed on a patterned substrate 42, shown in
In one embodiment, sequential deposition techniques are employed for bulk deposition of tungsten onto nucleation layer 60 occurs while substrate 42 is disposed in processing chamber 14, shown in
As mentioned above, in an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the carrier gas may differ from the purge gas, as shown in

Although the invention has been described in terms of specific embodiments, one skilled in the art will recognize that various changes to the reaction conditions, e.g., temperature, pressure, film thickness and the like can be substituted and are meant to be included herein. Additionally, while the bifurcated deposition process has been described as occurring in a common system, the bulk deposition may occur in a processing chamber of a mainframe deposition system that is different from the mainframe deposition system in which the processing chamber is located that is employed to deposit the nucleation layer. Finally, other refractory metals may be deposited, in addition to tungsten, and other deposition techniques may be employed in lieu of CVD. For example, physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques, or a combination of both CVD and PVD techniques may be employed.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WDTN) – On the eve of the voter registration deadline Hillary Clinton held an event in Columbus.
According to the United States Secret Service, an estimated 18,500 people attended the Democratic nominee's event on Ohio State University's campus, where she urged the crowd to get themselves, friends and family registered to vote before Ohio's registration deadline which is October 11.
During her speaking event, it didn't take long for her to talk about Sunday night's second presidential debate which many are calling disgraceful.
"I'll tell you what," Clinton said, " I'm not sure you'll ever see anything like that again. At least I hope you won't."
According to Clinton supporter and Ohio State University student Rachel Seaman, Clinton came out on top in the debate.
"I think it was like watching someone who was very prepared to be president versus a third grader saying, I know you are but what am I? I don't think it was a competition at all," Seaman said.
Clinton also mentioned how she would like to improve the country's economy. She told the crowd that she'd like to impose an "exit tax" for companies wanting to leave America to do business in other countries as well as promising that she will not increase taxes on the middle class.
If you're wondering if you are registered to vote, you can check online at iwillvote.com, or the Ohio Secretary of State's website.
Early voting in Ohio begins October 12.

Skip to comments.Vanity: Is Obama Trying to Wright His Ship of State?
Posted on 08/16/2012 5:16:17 AM PDT by bt_dooftlook
Curious if anyone else has noticed the similarities between Biden's erratic behavior of the last week and the erratic behavior evinced by Rev. Wright at the Press Club in 2008 just before Obama threw him under the bus ("This is not the Rev. Wright I knew")?
Biden took 2 week-long breaks within a month this summer, and returns to the campaign trail to make 3 gaffes in 24 hours (in chains, Virginia, 20th century).
Do you think this is just Joe being Joe, or are Obama and Biden working on an exit scenario for Joe (unstable, mental breakdown, agree to step aside for the sake of the party and the country, etc.)?
With all due respect, you're reading way too much into this.
Occam's Razor.
Biden's an idiot.....therefore, he acts like an idiot.
And "O" is an idiot or he wouldn't have Biden for a VP anyway!
I think Bite-me is safe in his job because, seriously, I doubt that Obama could find anyone willing to join him on the ticket.
Were it not Joe, it would have to be someone equally abhorrent to the American people or Obunga dare not do another public venue.
Joe is what the Mulatto Marxist needs to stay alive.
I support Biden all the way. He is a great ASSet for the republicans. He get's dumber by the minute. Can't wait for his debate with Ryan. Should be a hoot!
Agreed, although Biden does often serve as the perfect s**t-screen for Obama.
Joe's also about the only person stupid enough to gamble his career on an O administration.
I would have said character instead of career... but we ARE talking about Liberals here!
Hillary might, but if that happens ZerO better watch his back. She'd be next in line for the Presidency if something nasty were to happen to him.
I agree. Bide is the useful idiot. His gaffs and Goofball sayings make Obama appear that much more polished and cool.
IF? Seriously? With her as a VP, ole billy would call on his old freinds in the drug cartels and she'd be Presidenta in less than 6 months.

Laos: Picks words and leaves
"When phucking tea leaves only phuck young ones. Old ones no good for phucking," says the guide, a young chap with a very un-Lao swagger and hair oiled into a rooster quiff.
We do our polite best not to laugh. After all, he did say his English wasn't great.
"Not phucking from trees, no. But phuck bushes," he points to a camellia sinensis shrub.
"Bushes cut, keep small, better for phucking."
"Someone tell the poor bastard to say pick," hisses a tourist.
"Phucking is not all year. Two times a month in dry season. In rainy season phucking every day."
And on it goes until his boss arrives to rescue the trainee guide. We are a big group thanks to the word on the wind that this tour is the bomb. They're not wrong. So far it's been a riot.
We are on a day tour of the Bolaven Plateau, southern Laos, that takes in everything worth seeing – tea and coffee plantations, waterfalls, animistic villages as well as a museum.
The actual guide does speak excellent English, a rare plus in Laos. Best of all, this tour saves days of DIY travel, a huge plus when base-camp, Pakse, is an undisputed crap-hole.
All the same it is glorious being 800m above sea level on a volcanic plateau in what passes for a cooler climate in humid Lao.
The raised land is good for coffee and tea growing. Tea production requires a lot of pressing, heating and sieving, and oolong tea is made by adding hot water to a bag of tea leaves and waiting for it to ferment to a stronger brew. And after learning about the elaborate process of picking, soaking, peeling not once, but twice, cleaning and drying I'm not surprised coffee is so expensive.
Then it's off to see Laos' watery marvels. The country is landlocked but it's blessed with exquisite waterfalls. Today we see Tad Fan, at 120m the highest waterfall in Laos, and Tad Lo, tiered and musical, overhung by a delicate covered bamboo bridge.
Getting to the ethnic minority animist villages requires negotiating chicken roads (small bumps) as well as elephant roads (big bumps of course) in our minivan.
One village is the home of our phucked guide. The simple huts house large extended families, children and few possessions. Our guide distributes clothes for the children who fall upon the second-hand items with an eagerness you might expect among Apple fans getting their latest iPhone. No wonder he walks with a spring in his step.
Head guide comes from a different world. His fingernails are long and his hands elegant. Long fingernails, he explains, are a mark of status, signifying that he does not engage in physical labour.
We stare at the locals and they stare back, our incomprehension mutual and unbridgeable. The guide rushes to assure us that the village benefits financially from our visit.
The next village makes round wooden coffins. Buddhist Lao cremate their dead, but animist Lao prefer to put theirs in coffins above ground.
"Does it smell?" someone asks.
"Of course," the guide replies.
Finally, the museum of village craft and lore where ethnic folk are paid to smile, spin and weave in tidy surrounds. Someone comments it's like Disneyland. Another says maybe but it's better than many jobs in the west.
A youthful member of our group who works for the UN frowns. Although people here may not be starving, she suspects many are hungry. Also, despite Laos being one of the few remaining communist states in the world, many disturbing decisions are made, often ignoring local interests.
To which a quick-witted listener responds "So? Same where I'm from. Thing is, you see, it's phucked everywhere."

The patrons of the Rainbow Inn discuss several topics in Chapter Six of Silas Marner by George Elliot. The chapter opens with the discussion of red Durham cow that Bob recently brought into town. The conversation then progresses into a discussion about Mr. Tookey's singing voice. The crowd teases him about his weak performance and jokingly suggests that he should leave the choir. They also discuss the courtship of Mr. Lammeter and Miss Osgood, which Mr. Macey has apparently told many times but willingly retells for the enjoyment of his audience. They also discuss a ghost, Cliff's Holiday, which some in the town believe exists while others don't.

After surging 14.2% the previous week, mortgage application volume increased 7.2% on an adjusted basis during the week ended July 8, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey.
Driving the increase was an 11% jump in applications for refinances, which was driven by a decrease in mortgage interest rates resulting from the fallout of the Brexit decision. Applications for purchases were flat compared with the previous week.
The results include an adjustment for the Fourth of July holiday.
On an unadjusted basis, application volume decreased 14% compared with the previous week. Applications for purchases decreased 20% on an unadjusted basis and decreased 5% compared with the same week one year earlier.
The refinance share of mortgage activity increased to 64.0% of total applications from 61.6% the previous week.
The average rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) was 3.60%, down from 3.66% the previous week, according to the MBA's data.
The average rate for a jumbo 30-year FRM was 3.61%, down from 3.67%.
The average rate for a 30-year FRM backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was 3.53%, down from 3.56%.
The average rate for a 15-year FRM was 2.88%, down from 2.96%.
The average rate for a 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) was 2.78%, down from 2.85%.
The ARM share of activity decreased to 5.2% of total applications.
All rates are based on closings.
Looking at application volume by government loan type, applications for mortgages backed by the FHA represented about 10.0% of all applications – up from 9.5% the week prior. The Veterans Affairs share of total applications was 12.1%, down from 12.8%, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture share remained unchanged at 0.6%.

Dash's Kenmore Avenue store closing Sunday for future remodeling
Dash's Markets is closing its supermarket on Kenmore Avenue as of Sunday to prepare the former Budwey's grocery store for extensive renovations, owner Joe Dash said Monday.
However, work at the Kenmore Avenue store won't begin for some time as Dash's executives weigh their options for the project and await final design details.
Dash said he hopes remodeling will begin in the summer or early fall, and he expects to open the renovated store by spring 2015 following six or seven months of construction.
"The store needs a major renovation to do what we do," Dash said.
The Kenmore Avenue Dash's will be open through Saturday and signs there advertise a storewide remodeling sale.
Dash said closing the store now, months before construction begins, gives Dash's the chance to place its nearly 100 employees in positions at its four other area locations.
"A majority" of employees at the 416 Kenmore Ave. store agreed to transfer, and Dash's wouldn't have been able to accommodate them if the company had waited until construction began to close the store, Dash said.
He said the company also held off on doing its normal level of new hiring in recent weeks to further ensure the Kenmore Avenue employees could find positions elsewhere in the chain.
Dash's has between 550 and 575 employees in all, said Mark Mahoney, executive vice president and director of operations.
The chain agreed in November to buy the former Kenmore Avenue Budwey's after Frank Budwey decided to retire from the supermarket business.
Budwey initially put his North Tonawanda and Newfane stores on the market, too, but in March he changed his mind and opted to keep those stores open.
The purchase of the Budwey's left Dash's with three stores within three miles of each other, counting its existing markets at 1210 Colvin Blvd. in the Town of Tonawanda and at 1770 Hertel Ave. in Buffalo. The Kenmore Avenue store is much larger than the two nearby stores.
Dash's closed the Budwey's in late January and reopened one day later with a new name.
At the time, Dash said he hoped construction would begin in late May and finish by the fall, and he envisioned creating an "Anglo-Italian market," with a large supply of imported specialty foods, fresh pasta and fresh mozzarella-making operations and wood-fired pizza.
Dash said Monday that company executives haven't made any concrete decisions about what the redesigned store will include and he said he is waiting for an in-depth report from his architects and engineers. "Nothing's finalized," he said, adding, "There's still a lot of balls up in the air."
Customers of the Hertel Avenue store worried that Dash's purchase of the Kenmore Avenue store meant the chain would seek to close the Hertel location – and keep it out of the hands of a rival grocery store – and they took to social media to express their concerns.
But Dash on Monday said, "Hertel will never close."
Dash said he believes there's enough business to go around to support the three stores, and he said the company would "eventually" begin renovations at the Hertel Avenue store once Kenmore Avenue is finished.

Hi Jose,
Thank you for your question.
No, I don't use a tripod fir my flower shots. About the only time I use a tripod if for HDR, long exposure and the odd landscape.
I also don't focus stack my shots or edit the blur/focus in anyway. The blur and focus are as they are in camera.
I had thought of focus stacking some shots but that really wouldn't give me what I want.
I like to use the depth of field and OOF areas to help produce depth into the piece.
The times when I want a greater dof I will close down the aperture and increase the ISO if needed to give me the dof that I want.

Hi Paul,
How uplifting to find another photographer with a love for the beauty of the woods and countryside! I love the consistency of lighting technique and skillful use of D-o-F. More power to your lens, mate, and I look forward to seeing future images as they are published…..

Hi Paul
I really admire your work!
Do you use any speedlights or light modifiers (e.g. reflectors) in your outdoor flower shooting or just the available natural light?
Kind Regards
. March 12, 2016 Reply
Hi Risto,
Thank you so much 🙂
All of my work that you see is just using available, natural light.
I do however always try to get the softest light that I can.
On days with harsh sunlight this sometimes mean either trying to find a composition where my body is casting shade on the subject or sometimes shooting with one hand and using the other to provide shade!
You certainly could use modifiers and there have been times when an assistant holding a diffuser would have been very welcome!
I am currently experimenting with some different lighting techniques, one of which includes the use of speedlight.
If I like how these turn you will certainly be seeing them here and on my FB page so please do keep checking back 🙂
Thank you for your interest and keep on shooting and having fun! 🙂

Even the best managers don't always look forward to talking with employees about how they can be better at their jobs.
But your people are craving these conversations, which, unfortunately, don't seem to be happening at many organizations.
Take Mercer's recent Employee Views on Moving Up vs. Moving On survey, for example. The New York-based consultancy polled 1,520 employed workers in the United States and Canada, finding more than half (51 percent) of these respondents saying they receive "no input" or "input only once in a while" from superiors on how to perform better in their roles. In addition, 78 percent of employees indicated they would stay with their current employer if they had a better sense of their career trajectory with the company.
Leave workers in the dark about how to improve and advance at your own risk, warns Ilene Siscovick, partner and North America talent and career leader at Mercer.
"Clearly, lack of communication from managers along with a lack of transparency about career progression within the organization is impacting employee loyalty and hampering retention efforts," said Siscovick, in a statement.
The aforementioned percentages are significant, but maybe not all that surprising when you consider some other recent research.
A Right Management report from July, for instance, finds that two-thirds of the individual performance drivers employees consider most important are tied to career conversations.
Earlier this year, Right polled 616 North American workers, 68 percent of whom said their managers aren't actively engaged in the career development of their employees.
These Right Management figures help form the foundation of a feature that's set to appear in our September issue. "Creating Coaches" focuses on a handful of organizations that excel at helping managers become coaches for their employees, and at making employee development a critical component of supervisors' jobs—and a key performance measure for managers.
For that story, I spoke with Bruce Tulgan, founder of New Haven, Conn.-based management training and consulting company Rainmaker Thinking Inc.
Since 1993, Rainmaker has conducted research based on interviews with more than 200,000 managers, says Tulgan, who estimates that nine out of 10 "fail to regularly and systematically engage" in a regular, structured, one-on-one dialogue with their direct reports.
Some managers, he says, may be "naturally gifted in terms of being the kind of supportive, developmental leader that helps his or her employees with building themselves and their careers." But becoming an effective coach for employees "isn't about being a natural."
Rather, "you really need to have regular, structured, substantive dialogue with your people that includes talking about how they're doing their work and how they're continuing to learn not only technical skills, but broader, transferable soft skills as well," he says. "This is all part of a coaching style of management, and it has huge implications for employees' career growth."
HR, of course, has a responsibility to help ensure that managers grasp the importance of nurturing their employees' development, adds Tulgan, who serves as an executive-level coach and advisor, and has written multiple books on effective management.
"I try to make a very strong business case to managers for doing this. It's what managing is. The career development part is just the outcome of doing the hard work of managing people well in a substantive way."
He also urges spelling out the concrete actions you expect managers to carry out in terms of coaching their reports.
Managers, for example, must understand how often they should be meeting with their people, how long those conversations should be, and what they should be talking about, says Tulgan.
Because, much like the employees they're charged with leading, "you can't hold managers accountable if you don't tell them exactly what's expected of them."

BOISE, Idaho — Anyone who wants to mine gold in Idaho streams with a suction dredge will need to get a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Suction dredge mining has been a popular pursuit in many Western states. For years, people have flocked to a Idaho's Salmon River to mine for gold. Many of them have used a suction dredge to extract the precious metal from the gravel and silt on the river bottom. Until now, the EPA didn't require these modern day prospectors to get permission if they used small-scale dredges.
But the EPA's state director Jim Werntz said that had to change. A big reason: mining stirs up sediment that harms salmon along the river's entire stretch.
"You have critical habitat for several species in that area and we couldn't, basically couldn't keep that area open under the general permit coverage," Werntz said.
The EPA came up with its new permit because it had determined that without it, the agency was allowing people to violate the Clean Water Act. That was the position of environmental groups, including the Idaho Conservation League, which filed a lawsuit alleging that the EPA had been failing to apply the Clean Water Act's requirements to suction dredge mining in Idaho.
The EPA says many waters in Idaho are already closed to suction dredge mining because of existing state and other federal designations. The agency says its new permit is meant to protects additional waters, including those with threatened and endangered salmon, steelhead, white sturgeon and bull trout, as well as waters within tribal reservations.
Anyone wanting a permit can apply for one now. There will not be an application fee. The EPA will hold workshops in the coming weeks to help explain the new permit.

I don't get out to Clearfield often, it isn't exactly on my radar and, to be honest, I just assumed there wasn't much there. When Pranzo Italiano invited me to stop in for dinner, I got a little bit lost finding my way and just when I thought I had taken a wrong turn, there it was.Located next to Bogey's Bar in the space where Egg-Cetera used to be, it is easy to miss if you don't know it's there. I assure you though, it's worth searching for.
Inside this little restaurant, the interior is warm and inviting with light green walls, lovely white built in shelving and a blazing fireplace. Classic music played in the background, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, all perfectly complimenting the environment. We first ordered some Italian sodas with home-made cream, they were all very rich and would be perfect on a summer day. Although it was a bit too rich for me, I think my daughters would have enjoyed it very much. After drinks had been served, the chef brought out warm and fluffy bread with olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice, a perfectly light treat before our food arrived.
I was feeling a bit adventurous on this particular night, so I decided to order some mussels.Being a bit paranoid about seafood, I may have grilled the waiter about where the mussels came from. Satisfied that I was getting a fresh batch, I finally ordered. I am so glad that I went out of my dining comfort zone because those mussels were some of the best I have ever had. A vibrant and rich dish served in a fish and garlic broth with toasted bread and lemon zest. I didn't want the flavors to end, so I used up all my bread soaking up every last drop. Along with our mussels, we were served fried mozzarella. Unlike the sticks you will get and other restaurants, this appetizer is thick slices of mozzarella ball breaded and fried, but not greasy.
For our entree's we all must have been craving creamy sauces, because without realizing it we ordered three very different dishes with three fabulous white sauces- Chicken Saltimbocca, Gnocchi, and Branzino with Lemon Risotto. I chose the Chicken Saltimbocca; Chicken layered with prosciutto and provolone on a bed of sauteed spinach and fettuccine. I would have liked a bit more sauce with the chicken to add some moisture, but the dish was devoured just the same. I stole some bites of my friends dishes and was delighted to find that the gnocchi was homemade; it literally melted in my mouth. The Lemon Risotto was my favorite of the 3, the extra bit of fresh lemon from the fish made the dish pop.
I made sure not to get too full so I could try the tiramisu, my absolute favorite dessert of all time. Anytime I am sad, my husband will drive to get me a slice of my favorite tiramisu, and now I think it's safe to say I have two places he can run to. This tiramisu is quite unique, it is very light and fluffy and had a unique flavor I just could not place. After a bit of questioning, I managed to get the chef to confess that the secret is a nice rum. Needless to say, there wasn't a drop left of my dessert.
The prices for these dishes is on the higher end of the spectrum, but the portions were large enough to feed 2, and we all left with quite a bit leftover. The wait staff is friendly and helpful, although we could have used a bit more attention in the beginning. I wish this restaurant were in a more pronounced location, but the drive is very short and as long as you know to look for the neon Bogeys sign you shouldn't have a problem. Pranzo Italiano is a fabulous date night restaurant, and one I would love to see packed on the weekends. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!

08 Jun REFLECTIONS ON BOBBY CURTOLA
We awake this morning to a fierce westerly wind belting out of the desert sands. It followed on the previous day's high pressure storm swell which tore into Moreton Bay over the weekend, depositing some 200 mms of rain on neighboring mountain tops.
And then came from Canada the news of the passing of Bobby Curtola,
A man who played a very positive harbinger role in my life, drawing me to cross the planet to Canada from the plains of outback North West New South Wales. It was Bobby – along with the Beaumarks and their dream 1960 hit Clap Your Hands – that first lured me out of the antipodean slumber which is and was Australia in that period. Clap Your Hands and Fortune Teller, two Cancon classics before Cancon could! How could I have known way back then?
Their music was a true reflection of the carefree Canadian culture which pervaded the early '60s. The essence of that music continued to light up the gallivanting and gleeful melodies of Gordon Lightfoot.
Arriving in the GTA from London in early July 1967, wife and I deposited ourselves in a late 19th C. boarding house on Sherbourne just north of Carlton which we would make our central base for the coming week. Or at least until we tracked down digs at Westmoreland, up on from Bloor and Dovercourt. On the upper floor of a duplex owned by a German immigrant who crushed his grapes every Autumn and bottled the residues. Kept a bottle or two of his brew for a year or three.
Quoting from my subsequent book Axes, Chops & Hot Licks (The Canadian Rock Music Scene) (published 1971 by Hurtig Publishers, Edmonton) : "Unable to obtain U.S. Because of archaic
Australian-U.S. Immigration agreements, we settled on Toronto, Canada.
"We knew no one in Canada, and my only exposure to Canadian music had been a Bobby Curtola record called Fortune Teller … plus a couple of stories I'd read in the English music press abut the Guess Who, who had made a promo trip to London to plug His Girl.
"We left on a rare sunny morning in London and arrived in the midst of a roaring July thunderstorm in Toronto."
I bumped into Mr Curtola over the years, penned the odd portrayal of his then current activities, kept on admiring Fortune Teller which the West Coast hit picker Red Robinson, among others, had given the golden nod in the chart fields of BC.
I had always admired the man and his music. You didn't need to summon a Fortune Teller to get the lowdown on Bobby Curtola.

Children at the Ottawa Montessori Natural Playground

Design: LandCurrent
Landscape Ontario Awards of Excellence 2014 has awarded Earthscape in the Special Interest Construction category for the Natural Play and Discovery Environment at the Ottawa Montessori School. Designed by Landcurrent, this unique natural playscape provides a variety of play opportunities that enrich the lives of the children who attend the Montessori school.
Recess will never be the same again for the children at the Ottawa Montessori School. So many adventures can be had at this one-of-a-kind school playground. Kids can follow the meandering paths to find numerous places of activity and creativity . When they are in calmer moods, they can also find quite shady nooks where they can watch and contemplate. They can hang out and get a birds-eye view of the playground from the lookout tower, talk to friends by using one of the many talking tubes spread throughout the play area, master hill climbing, slide down a hill, build a ford, play with sand and water, and visit a custom designed wig-wam village. These activities are just examples of the many creative ways kids can interact with their new environment, and illustrate how the playground facilitates both the active and passive moments of play.

Great Eastern Trail in Kentucky is a cooperative project of Pine Mountain Trail Conference, Southeastern Foot Trails Coalition (SEFTC),and the American Hiking Society. Link to these GET Association member organizations or click on the map below for detailed hiking maps and trail conditions.
Printable Trail Maps:
At the famous Cumberland Gap National Historical Park joining Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia, the Pine Mountain Trail becomes your host. The completed trail will extend 120 miles to Breaks Interstate Park. Currently 44 miles of trail are open, at the northern end. Ledges, caves, and overlooks invite exploration. From Cumberland Gap the GET is to follow near US 25E north to near Pineville, Kentucky to Pine Mountain, and then follows that mountain north about 100 miles to Breaks Interstate Park. It passes through Kentenia State Forest and Kingdom Come State Park. Part is along a quiet road on top of Pine Mountain.
A quiet hiker may be fortunate enough to hear the bugling of elk during the fall rut. These large mammals were reintroduced in Kentucky in 1997. When you are on the east side of the ridge, you are often in Virginia. Trail's end means turning east where it is presently conjectured a route will be found across the friendly high Allegheny Mountains to the New River near where it enters West Virginia.
