1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to non-invasive testing.
The development of advanced integrated circuit devices and architectures has been spurred by the ever increasing need for speed. For example, microwave, fiber optical digital data transmission, high-speed data acquisition, and the constant push for faster digital logic in high speed computers and signal processors has created new demands on high-speed electronic instrumentation for testing purposes.
2. Description of Related Art
Conventional test instruments primarily include two features, the integrated circuit probe that connects the test instrument to the circuit and the test instrument itself. The integrated circuit probe has its own intrinsic bandwidth that may impose limits on the bandwidth achievable. In addition, the probe also determines an instrument's ability to probe the integrated circuit due to its size (limiting its spatial resolution) and influence on circuit performance (loading of the circuit from its characteristic and parasitic impedances). The test instrument sets the available bandwidth given perfect integrated circuit probes or packaged circuits, and defines the type of electric test, such as measuring time or frequency response.
Connection to a test instrument begins with the external connectors, such as the 50 ohm coaxial Kelvin cable connectors (or APC-2.4). The integrated circuit probes provide the transitions from the coaxial cable to some type of contact point with a size comparable to an integrated circuit bond pad. Low-frequency signals are often connected with needle probes. At frequencies greater than several hundred megahertz these probes having increasing parasitic impedances, principally due to shunt capacitance from fringing fields and series inductance from long, thin needles. The parasitic impedances and the relatively large probe size compared to integrated circuit interconnects limit their effective use to low-frequency external input or output circuit responses at the bond pads.
Therefore, electrical probes suffer from a measurement dilemma. Good high-frequency probes use transmission lines to control the line impedance from the coaxial transition to the integrated circuit bond pad to reduce parasitic impedances. The low characteristic impedance of such lines limits their use to input/output connections. High-impedance probes suitable for probing intermediate circuit nodes have significant parasitic impedances at microwave frequencies, severely perturbing the circuit operation and affecting the measurement accuracy. In both cases, the probe size is large compared to integrated circuit interconnect size, limiting their use to test points the size of bond pads. Likewise sampling oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers rely on connectors and integrated circuit probes, limiting their ability to probe an integrated circuit to its external response. For network analysis, a further issue is de-embedding the device parameters from the connector and circuit fixture response, a task which grows progressively more difficult at increasing frequencies.
With the objective of either increased bandwidth or internal integrated circuit testing with high spatial resolution (or both) different techniques have been introduced. Scanning electron microscopes or E-beam probing uses an electron beam to stimulate secondary electron emission from surface metallization. The detected signal is small for integrated circuits voltage levels. The system's time resolution is set by gating the E-beam from the thermionic cathodes of standard SEM's. For decreasing the electron beam duration required for increased time resolution, the average beam current decreases, degrading measurement sensitivity and limiting practical systems to a time resolution of several hundred picoseconds. Also, SEM testing is complex and relatively expensive.
Valdmanis et al., in a paper entitled "Picosecond Electronics and Optoelectronics", New York: Springer-Verlag, 1987, shows an electro-optic sampling technique which uses an electrooptic light modulator to intensity modulate a probe beam in proportion to a circuit voltage. Referring to
Weingarten et al. in a paper entitled, "Picosecond Optical Sampling of GaAs Integrated Circuits", IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Vol. 24, No. 2, February 1988, disclosed an electro-optic sampling technique that measures voltages arising from within the substrate. Referring to
A microwave generator 48 drives the substrate 42 and is also connected to an RF synthesizer 50, which in turn is connected to a timing stabilizer 52. The pulse output of the laser 32 is likewise connected to the timing stabilizer 52. The output of the stabilizer 52 connects back to the laser 32 so that the frequency of the microwave generator 48 locks onto a frequency that is a multiple of the laser repetition rate plus an offset. As a consequence, one may analyze the electric fields produced within the integrated circuit as a result of being voltage drive, thus providing circuit analysis of the integrated circuit operation. In essence, the voltage of the substrate imposed by the microwave generator 48 will change the polarization in the return signal which results in a detectable change at the diode detector 44.

Since the system taught by Weingarten et al. does not include a probe proximate the circuit under test the limitations imposed by capacitive loading of the circuit to be tested is avoided. However, the system taught by Weingarten et al. is limited to "point probing," by the lens 41 converging the input beam into a test point on the order of one wavelength. Unfortunately, to test an entire circuit an excessive number of tests must be performed. In addition, it is not possible to test multiple points simultaneously without the use of multiple systems, which may be useful in testing different portions of the circuit that are dependant upon one another. The resulting data from the system is presented to the user as a single amplitude measurement, i.e., the intensity of the signal produced at the photo-diode 44 depends simply upon the degree to which the polarization of the reflected light entering the beam splitter 36 has been rotated, so that not only are the actual phase and polarization data that derive the reflection process lost, but the precision and accuracy of the measurement becomes subject to the linearity and other properties of the photo-diode 44 and the display 46.
Various other techniques by which semiconductors may be characterized, using electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths under different conditions is cataloged by Palik et al. in "Nondestructive Evaluation of Semiconductor Materials and Device," Plenum Press, New York, 1979, chapter 7, pp. 328-390. Specifically, treatment is given of (1) infrared reflection of GaAs to obtain the optical parameters n and k and then the carrier density N and mobility u; (2) infrared transmission in GaAs to determine k from which is determined the wavelength dependence of free carrier absorption; (3) infrared reflection laser (spot size) scanning of and transmission through GaAs to determine free carrier density in homogeneity, including local mode vibrations; (4) far infrared impurity spectra; (5) infrared reflection and transmission from thin films on a GaAs substrate; microwave magnetoplasma reflection and transmission; (6) submillimeter-wave cyclotron resonance in GaAs to determine magnetotransmission; (7) ruby laser radiation to form a waveguide in a GaAs film on a GaAs substrate, the propagation features of which are then measured using infrared radiation; (8) infrared reflectance from multilayers of GaAs on a GaAs substrate; (9) reflectance measurements of graded free carrier plasmas in both PbSnTe films on PbSnTe substrates and InAs on GaAs substrates; (10) interferometric measurements of ion implanted layers; (11) infrared restrahlen spectra, also to determine lattice damage effects; (13) ellipsometric measurements of ion-implanted GaP; (14) determination of optical constants by internal reflection spectroscopy; (15) laser raster scanning of semiconductor devices to measure photoconductivity, to track the flow of logic in a MOS shift register (because of current saturation, the effect of the laser light differs in cells in the 0 or 1 logic state), and with a more intense laser power level to change those logic states (i.e., to write to the circuit); (16) laser raster scanning of semiconductor devices to determine variations in resistivity and carrier lifetimes; (17) thermal imaging of circuits to find hot spots; (18) Raman backscattering to determine free carrier density; (19) carrier injection to study the band edge; (20) birefringence measurements in monolayers of GaAs and AlAs on GaAs to characterize the resultant strain; (21) photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence measurements of implanted layers and acceptor and donor densities. With the exception of (7) above which relates to waveguide transmission, and also of (15) and (17), these techniques relate to the characterization of static systems. While (15) relates to a spot canning technique of the operational integrated circuit and (17) relates to hot-characterization of the device temperature.
What is desired, therefore, is a high bandwidth non-invasive testing system for semi-conductor materials.
The present inventors came to the realization that the single point non-invasive probing technique of semiconductor materials could be enhanced if an area significantly greater than a wavelength of the optical test signal could be transmitted through or reflected off of a semiconductor material. Semiconductor materials generally exhibit electro-optic or photo-refractive effects, which can be made to become birefringent by the application of an electric field, either as such or as embodied in electromagnetic radiation. The present inventors then came to the realization that if an object in a state in which it is not birefringent, but such birefringence can then be brought about by electrical or electromagnetic techniques, the nature of the birefringence so introduced can be studied to determine characteristics of the material. Upon further consideration the present inventors then came to the realization that interferometry techniques can sense a wide region, such as that passing through or reflected off a semiconductor material, which can then be analyzed.
An interference pattern is created by a coherent light beam being transmitted through or reflected from an object onto a recording medium or otherwise a sensing device, which at the same time the original beam is also directed onto that recording medium or otherwise sensing device as a reference beam. Various characteristics of the resultant transmitted or reflected beam, herein called the "object wave," are recorded in the resultant interference pattern between the object wave and the reference beam. That is to say, inasmuch as the intensities of the reference beam and the object wave have been recorded in that interference pattern, the resulting pattern typically includes a set of fringes as a result of the applied voltage. Those characteristics are in part a consequence of the physical structure (i.e., "appearance") of the object, hence the interference pattern is related to the structure of the object.
The present inventors also realized that particular semiconductor materials are generally transparent to light of particular wavelengths so that the light may freely pass through and reflect back though the semiconductor, or otherwise pass through the semiconductor, substantially unaffected when the semiconductor is not stressed, such as by no applied voltage. Likewise, when the semiconductor material, such as an integrated circuit, is stressed by applying a voltage therein by energizing a circuit fabricated therein, the same light will reflect or otherwise pass through the semiconductor material, while being affected by the changes imposed by the applied voltage, such as birefringence, thereby resulting in a different pattern. The stressed and unstressed states can be recorded as different interferometry images. The two interferometry images may then be compared to one another to determine the actual operating characteristics within the semiconductor material. Also, two different stressed states of the semiconductor material may be obtained and thereafter two interferometry images, both from stressed states, may be compared to one another. In addition, by its nature, interferometry techniques record a significant spatial region much larger than a single wavelength simultaneously which is important for characterizing regions of the semiconductor material. For example, the operational characteristics of two different regions may be interrelated which is unobtainable using techniques limited to a single wavelength in "spot size." The present inventor's realization that the application of interferometry techniques for the testing of semiconductor devices was only after at least the culmination of all of the aforementioned realizations.
Of particular interest is the "real time" characterization of operating characteristics of integrated circuits where such birefringence is introduced by the electro-optic effect, i.e., the imposition of a voltage onto the object (as in the ordinary operation of the integrated circuit) causes birefringence therein. In other words, upon application of an electric field the material, such as GaAs or silicon, introduces an anisotropy and the ordinary complex refractive index n* of the material is decomposed into no* and ne* components. Another technique applicable to appropriate substrates whether or not any operational voltages are also applied thereto, lies in utilization of the photo-refraction effect, wherein electromagnetic radiation of a required intensity is illuminated onto the substrate, and a birefringence or change in birefringence is then brought about. Inasmuch as semiconductor and like materials are generally characterized by a wavelength threshold below which photo-refraction will occur, but above which no photo-refraction takes place, this latter mode of operation employs electromagnetic radiation of differing wavelengths, first to bring about a desired photo-refractive effect, and then secondly to analyze the effect so brought about.
The beam 214 may pass through a first lens 220 that will then yield an expanded and/or expanding plane wave 222. The plane wave 222 is then incident on a device under test 230. The plane wave 222, having a wavelength suitable to pass through semiconductor material, passes through either the front side or the back side (or the edge) of the surface of the device under test 230 and reflects from the interior structures within the device under test 230. As a result of beam 222 being reflected back from the device under test 230, the reflected beam will pass back onto beam splitter 218 so as to be passed towards and ultimately impinge upon a recording device 250. The recording device 250 may be any suitable type of sensing device, such as for example, a charge coupled device.
Similarly, the beam 216 may pass through a second lens 232 that will then yield an expanded and/or expanding plane wave 234. The plane wave 234 is then incident on a reflecting device 236. The plane wave 234, having a wavelength suitable to pass through semiconductor material, reflects from a reflecting device 236. As a result of beam 234 being reflected back from the reflecting device 236, the reflected beam will be reflected by the beam splitter 218 so as to be passed towards and ultimately impinge upon the recording device 250.
Since both the reference beam (second beam 234) and the object beam (object beam 222) derive from a common, preferably coherent source (laser 202) and are simultaneously, or substantially simultaneously, incident on the recording device 250, the favorable conditions for forming an interference pattern are present. One or more of the lenses may be omitted, as desired. Also, the object and reference beams may be reversed relative to the beam splitter, as desired. It is likewise to be understood that one or more light sources may be used, as desired. Also, it is to be understood that more or more recording devices may be used, as desired. In addition, it is to be understood that the recording device(s) may record the object beam and the reference beam independently of one another, which are thereafter combined in a suitable manner to generate an interference wave front pattern.
For purposes of the present invention, and in taking an initial interference, the device under test may be any suitable device to which the characteristics are desired, such as for example, a functional integrated circuit on which the surface has been exposed (i.e., potting is not present) but to which no voltages or other external stimuli have been applied, a semiconductor material such as a wafer taken from or existent within a wafer manufacturing line, a semiconductor wafer taken from or existent within a chip manufacturing line at any of various stages of manufacture (deposition, etching, metallization, etc.) or the like, the recording device may be taken to be any suitable material for recording or otherwise sensing an interference image, such as for example, a photographic film, charge coupled device, or thermoplastic plate onto which the initial interference pattern is recorded in the graphic film, charge coupled device, or thermoplastic plate onto which the initial interference is sensed and/or recorded.
As to the case in which the device under test is a functional but not energized integrated circuit, a first interference may be recorded therefrom using the apparatus as shown in
It is preferred to employ a CCD camera as the sole recording device whereby the first and indeed a multiplicity of subsequent interference patterns may be recorded, at rates commensurate with the rates of operation of an integrated circuit itself, i.e., 50 MHZ or more in terms of charge coupled device operation. An additional advantage in using only the CCD camera for recording interference is that the "reference" interference, i.e., the interference recorded from the device under test (either as an IC or as a semiconductor wafer) at a time that no voltages or birefringence-inducing laser light was applied thereto, will be recorded digitally as well, and comparisons between the reference and subsequent interferences may be made by means other than within the experimental apparatus itself. i.e., by ordinary digital signal processing (DSP).
For the purpose of processing such a data stream an analyzer connected to the recording device, and then a monitor connecting to analyzer. Inasmuch as the laser source in the present embodiment is preferably a DBF infrared laser diode (e.g., 900 nm-1600 nm, or 1000 nm-1500 nm, or 2000 nm-14,000 nm), the data to be analyzed may be generated by means of triggering the recording of CCD images in synchrony with the imposition of particular voltage data onto the test object, which may be an IC or possibly an entire printed circuit. As noted previously, the Springer patent describes the use of a digital "kernel" comprising a predetermined test program together with the digital data to be employed by that program, both of which are stored in ROM. The Springer apparatus then uses voltage probes and the like applied to various circuit nodes to test circuit performance in a "manual" fashion; the present invention, of course, in addition permits an "automatic" process of testing an entire IC, circuit board or a semiconductor wafer at any desired stage of manufacture.
During operation a first interference pattern, stressed or unstressed, may be obtained with the "fringes" around a particular feature of interest identified. With changes in the applied voltage and/or field the location and/or density of the fringes will vary. However, with slight changes in the fields the exact applied field and/or voltage may be difficult at times to determine. The determination may be assisted by understanding the material's optical properties and physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, layout, doping profile, shape, etc.). Accordingly, the reflecting device 236 may include an adjustment mechanism to vary the location and/or angle of the reflecting device 236 with respect to the beam incident thereon. By varying the position of the reflecting device 236 the location of the fringes may be modified, such as to line up with respect to a feature, such as a conductor. Thereafter a second interference pattern, stressed or unstressed, may be obtained with the "fringes" around a particular feature of interest identified. The change in the fringes between the two states, together with known characteristics of the particular materials within the device under test in the region of interest, may be used to determine the voltage or relative voltage change within the material in the region of interest. Similarly, the change in the wave front fringes between the two states, together with known voltages or relative voltage change, may be used to characterize the particular materials within the device under test in the region of interest. The change in the wave front fringes may be determined, for example, by subtraction, by addition, or any other suitable image comparison operation. It would likewise be noted that many such operations, such as subtraction, are capable of resolving features less than one wavelength in size. In addition, changes in the wave front fringes with known devices, using VLSI or VHDL circuit coordinate maps (or the like) may be used to characterize voltages and voltage changes. This permits for the observation of voltages within individual devices such as transistors or analysis of device registers or individual values of larger structures such as a micro-controller, or characterize fringes within the doped and non-doped conductive, semi-conductive, and non-conductive material (e.g., dielectric material) adjacent conductors, non-conductors, or semi-conductor material, or the like. Also, this technique may be used to study the effects of incident radiation, such as radio waves, x-rays, magnetic fields, chemical solutions upon the materials, etc.
It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that other arrangements and disposition of the aforesaid components, the descriptions of which are intended to be illustrative only and not limiting, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which must be identified and determined only from the following claims and equivalents thereof.

Former President Bill Clinton accused critics of an effort to undermine the work of his foundation for political gain, saying there is no evidence that donors sought to influence his wife's work at the State Department even as he conceded that "it looks bad."
In portions of an interview with NBC News that aired on the "Today" show Monday, Clinton also defended six-figure speaking fees he has collected and said he'd continue to give paid speeches even as his wife runs for president.
"Oh yeah," he said. "I have to pay our bills."
The interview, which was conducted in Kenya during his tour of Clinton Foundation projects on the continent, was the first the former president has conducted since his wife launched her second bid for the White House.
Last month, a conservative author's new book asserted possible links between major donations to the foundation and favorable actions the U.S. government took on behalf of donors while Hillary Rodham Clinton served as secretary of State.
Peter Schweizer, the author of the book "Clinton Cash," has conceded in interviews that he has no proof of a quid pro quo, but has evidence of suspicious circumstances.
"There has been a very deliberate attempt to take the foundation down," Bill Clinton said. "There's almost no new fact that's known now that wasn't known when she ran for president the first time."
Clinton said he has never done "anything that was against the interests of the United States" through his foundation or in accepting speaking fees. "I asked Hillary about this and she said, 'No one's ever tried to influence me by helping you," he added.
"No one has even suggested they have a shred of evidence to that effect," he said.
While the state of the evidence remains under debate, there's little question that the allegations have damaged Hillary Clinton's standing with the public – although not with the portion likely to take part in Democratic primaries.
A new Wall St. Journal/NBC News poll finds that the share of Americans with a negative view of the former secretary of State rose 6 percentage points over the last month. Americans are now evenly divided over Clinton, with 42% having a favorable view of her and 42% negative.
Among fellow Democrats, however, 76% said they viewed Clinton favorably, a number that has not shifted significantly and which far outpaces the loyalty that any of her potential Republican rivals receive from their party's supporters.
Reflecting the intensity of dislike for Clinton among conservatives, the poll found that one-third of Americans say they have a "very negative" opinion of her. On the other side, 23% said they were "somewhat positive," while only 19% said they were "very positive."
By 51%-32%, voters gave Clinton strong ratings on "being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency." But only 25% rated her strongly on "being honest and straightforward," while 50% gave her poor marks on that.
Bill Clinton also contended with low ratings for honesty and straightforwardness during his eight years in office. He has been a strong backer of his wife, but sometimes with mixed results. In the 2008 campaign, Clinton campaigned relentlessly on her behalf, securing votes for her in sometimes far-flung corners of primary states but also occasionally distracting from her message with controversial comments.
The new interview illustrated again that for all Clinton's political pluses, his efforts to dismiss negative stories often add fuel to the fire.
Clinton volunteered to NBC that it was "amusing" to hear questions about whether his wife could relate to middle-class concerns because of the wealth they've accumulated since leaving the White House. He took what appeared to be a jab at Republican hopeful Jeb Bush, saying: "It's OK if you inherit your money, apparently."
"I'm grateful for our success. But let me remind you: When we moved into the White House, we had the lowest net worth of any family since Harry Truman," Clinton said.
Clinton said taking speaking fees was actually a way to avoid conflicts of interest that could arise from other sources of income, and that he turns down many speaking requests if he thought they might raise problems.
"It's the most independence I can get," he said. "If I had a business relationship with somebody they would have a target on their back from the day they did business with me until the end. Any kind of disclosure is a target. But it looks bad. There's no facts, of course, but it looks bad."

Who Killed Homo EHRectus?May 4th, 2011 | Sources: Commentary
An ancient smartphone, unearthed near the fossilized remains of a predecessor to modern man, has provided clues about how the hominid died, according to French archeologists.
Archeologists have been excavating the site since April 22, 1984, the day three teenagers discovered the nearly intact remains of a Homo EHRectus male while hiking in the pristine Dordogne region of France.
The discovery was hailed back then as the most significant archeological finding since a forensic examination of Jim Morrison's body revealed he was drug free and a virgin.
Archeologists originally theorized that the male Homo EHRectus–a member of the world's oldest known tach-savvy species–died from severe alert fatigue caused by prolonged exposure to legacy electronic health record systems.
The theory was later dismissed after it was determined the man died of blunt trauma to the head. At that point, the question became who killed Homo EHRectus?
The smartphone appears to hold tantalizing, and rather tawdry clues in this regard. Skinned in a stylish, black polycarbonate case, the ancient device was found 20 meters from the body of the male Homo EHRectus. Carbon dating and other tests suggest the phone once belonged to the man.
The clues were contained on the memory card of the smartphone. The card, it turned out, contained time-stamped geo-location data, credit card purchase information, text messages and a raft of posts its owner had uploaded to social networking sites that were popular back then.
With this information, French Digital Archeologists—and presumably, any contemporary of the male Homo EHRectus who gained possession of his phone—could determine exactly where he was and when, and what he was doing when he was there.
"We were shocked to find all that data on the smartphone," Kip Nosecrets, a Professor of Digital Archaeology at L'Institut Louis Pasteur told Paris Match. "I wonder if the guy knew his phone was tracking him like that."
As for the tawdry clues, memory card analysis showed that the male Homo EHRectus had frequented the home of his best friend for years when he was supposed to be at work. Apparently, he had been carrying on with his friend's wife.
Since the smartphone discovery, archeologists have stepped-up their search for blunt instruments at the site of the friend's home. They have also begun searching for the remains of the male's wife in Las Vegas.

Question: How does White win?
IT WAS another classic case of FIDE fait accompli, as the game's governing body ignored not only an objection from the Norwegian Chess Federation but also a sizeable opposing bid from Paris to confirm that the Indian city of Chennai, formerly Madras, as official venue for the World Championship match in November between defending champion Viswanathan Anand and world No 1 Magnus Carlsen.
The Norwegian federation's oprotest about the lack of a fair and open bidding process for the eagerly awaited match was met by a deafening silence from FIDE.
Worse was to come, though, with news that that even a bid confirmed in writing by the Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoe (which was almost $2m higher than Chennai's $3.4m bid) to FIDE president Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, was dismissed out of hand during last weekend's FIDE presidential board meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Although disappointed at being forced to play on Indian soil, Carlsen, - speaking from Stavanger, on the eve of Norway's first super-tournament – confirmed he would play, and hopes that negotiations his team will now have with the Indian Chess Federation and FIDE run quickly and smoothly. "I'm deeply disappointed and surprised by the FIDE decision to sign a contract for the 2013 match without going through the bidding process outlined in the WC regulations, and for not choosing neutral ground," said Carlsen.
"The bid from Paris clearly showed that it would be possible to have more options to choose from."

Each new trailer for 's Pacific Rim offers us another awesome look inside the blockbuster mech monster mash-up, and this latest television spot from Warner Bros. raises the stakes even further by showing us even more robot vs. alien smackdown and letting us know less than gently that nobody puts Jaeger in the corner...
Watch the new television spot over at Coming Soon, by clicking on the image below:
It might not sit well with , but del Toro's Pacific Rim is shaping up to be the Transformers movie it's not frowned on to like. Should be cool to see all the variations of Kaiju and Jaeger and watch them battle it out.
Is Pacific Rim going to be the best movie ever? Or can you do without a cross between Transformers and the horrible CGI battles from Hellboy 2? Sound off in the comments.

text: I've been looking around and haven't seen this feature out there yet, but I could have missed it. is there a software (DJI GO, Litchi, Autopilot, Other) out there that you can set no flight zones? An example, if you wanted to fly in a park let's say at 30 ft, but you know don't want to hit a light pole. An idea I have is to place a virtual orange cone around that area and it won't let you fly into it. The obvious answer is, just avoid the pole or fly higher than the max height of the pole. Anyway just a question.


text: Hello! Just want to share my new shoes with you all, hope you enjoy the pictures! The first up is a pair of glossy bordeaux patent adorned with jet stones (no idea what jet stones are). The second ones are patent slingbacks with shiny gold heels. They are too tight, so I didn't keep them. Last pair is my favorite, they are part gold leather and part black suede. They are so pretty and sexy; however, I am not going to lie, those 4.5 inches heels are killerz. But what is a girl to do? I am just so in with Jimmy Choo, and thanks for letting me share my new addiction!

[Plugin: CSS & JavaScript Toolbox] Mobile device
Resolved Simon
How can I add specific style for a mobile device?
Plugin Author wipeoutmedia
Hi Simon,
Thanks for your question. There are a number of techniques that you can implement, which can provide support for mobile devices.
1) Use @media queries (CSS3) to detect things like:
– width and height (of the browser window)
– device width and height
– orientation – for example is the phone in landscape or portrait mode?
– resolution
An example for detecting the iPhone can be represented with the following code:
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { /* CSS overrides go here */ }
You can also reference an external stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" href="small-device.css" />
ProtoFluid code (shown below) is handy to use if you are concerned the user has a normal desktop browser but using a very tiny window.
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px), only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { /* CSS overrides go here */ }
To make sure that your website loads zoomed in on your phone-friendly layout rather than zooming out, you would also need to put this code near the top of your header.php file:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />
2) Use JavaScript code to detect if it is a mobile device and then redirect the user to the 'mobile' version of the website.
A script you could use written by the talented Michael Nilsson is shown below.
3) There are a number of mobile themes, mobile optimisers, and mobile detection plugins – both premium and free, which you may also consider trying.
I have been working on a website called Glow Guides – http://glowguides.com.au and wanted to quickly optimise the website for the iPhone. Anyway, this is the script I used and placed at the bottom of footer.php before the closing body tag, which seemed to work well doing it this way.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=0.3, maximum-scale=0.5, user-scalable=yes" />
I chose an initial value that I felt looked good on the iPhone, and selected a maximum scale value so when users pinch-zoom it doesn't zoom in too far. Also, you must declare user-scalable=yes for the pinch zoom to work.

I've spent almost a quarter of my waking business life in meetings. If you are doing business in corporate America, I'd bet that you are being âmeetinged to death,â too. Meetings aren't bad, though. They are somewhat necessary.
However, bad meetings aren't necessary at all. Ever been to a meeting where the facilitator didn't know what he/she wanted to accomplish? âYes!â I understand. Here are some helpful tips to help you and your facilitator get out of the meeting in one piece â without breaking any politically correct business rules.
Request parameters. Use this technique if the meeting leader hasn't articulated a goal of the meeting or if it's assumed that all in attendance know the goal. Say something like, âI think we are all interested in making this a very productive meeting. Could we take a minute and identify what we would like to accomplish and how we are going to use our meeting time to do that?â
Ask Questions. Questions are helpful when you think a point has been missed or when a person's good idea didn't make it down on paper. You might say something like, âThat's interesting, Bob. Do you mind telling us a little bit more about your idea?â Or, you might say, âSo, by awesome service delivery, what do you mean?â
Recap Points. It's easier to intermittently rephrase certain ideas and ensure they are being considered rather than waiting until the end of the meeting. Do it while your thoughts on the subject are fresh. Say something like, âI need to make sure I understand the last three ideas that Joe, Bob and Sally expressed.â
Propose. When it seems that the group is in gridlock on opposing issues, try proposing a suggestion that is linked to the goal of the meeting. For example, âI think we are looking at two different issues here. The goal of our meeting was to tackle issue one, so let's keep our eye on that issue and come back to the other one. How does that sound?â
Be Prepared. Show up to the meeting on time with your thoughts focused on the subject. Come with an open mind so you can hear others' ideas. Take a few minutes to unwind, if that helps. Being in the right frame of mind will enable you to use these tips to help facilitate the meeting if needed.

Federico Barocci (c. 1526, Urbino – 1612, Urbino) was an Italian Renaissance painter and printmaker. His original name was Federico Fiori, and he was nicknamed Il Baroccio, which still in northwestern Italian dialects means a two wheel cart drawn by oxen. His work was highly esteemed and influential, and foreshadows the Baroque of Rubens.
He was born at Urbino, Duchy of Urbino, and received his earliest apprenticeship with his father, Ambrogio Barocci, a sculptor of some local eminence. He was then apprenticed with the painter Battista Franco in Urbino. He accompanied his uncle, Bartolomeo Genga to Pesaro, then in 1548 to Rome, where he was worked in the pre-eminent studio of the day, that of the Mannerist painters, Taddeo and Federico Zuccari...

Even though the Chinese electronics-maker ZTE entered in bigger-screen devices era with its Blade-series of Smartphones, the high-end tag was somewhat lacking. Then we saw company's Z5 from Nubia-series, and company once again proved its supremacy into the mobile world. Bringing the heat on CES show floor in Las Vegas, the ZTE has just introduced its yet another high-end specs offering Phablet, the ZTE Grand S.
The S completes the Grand lineup of smartphones, which also includes the Grand X and Era, states ZTE.
With 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB RAM, and dual (13MP rear / 2MP front) shooters, this LTE-equipped ZTE's Jelly Bean-running beast seems to go rival with Sony's recent addition. In addition to 1080p video shooting, the other camera options include facial recognition, a flash, and panoramic shooting.
At just 6.9mm thin, the device feels a little lighter than you would expect given its spec sheet — thanks to its unibody polycarbonate design. The thing that might disappoint customers is a paltry offering of a 1,780 mAh battery. To make it smarter, ZTE has included an extra software back button — that can be dragged anywhere onscreen — along the screen's left edge, complemented with a full set of four buttons. Cool enough?
Don't get your hopes up too quickly, though — you probably can't buy the Grand S even if you want to. Expected to go on sale in Q1 of 2013 — at least in China — we've heard nothing about plans to bring the device anywhere else. Though, we'll keep an ear out if anything changes. Keep it tuned with Techsnapr for additional details.

Oddsmakers already are collecting bets, and even some of the former stars are making their own recommendations. But not only is BBC far away from naming Peter Capaldi's replacement on Doctor Who – they haven't even started looking yet.
Yes, BBC has known a lot longer than we have that this season would be the last for Capaldi. But there's a lot involved with finding the actor who will play the 13th Doctor – and some of it has to do with the simple fact the show itself is going through a massive management change when Steven Moffat hands over the reins to Chris Chibnall this summer.
And so Chibnall won't even start his long search for a new Doctor until it's time to wear shorts and T-shirts outside again, according to Radio Times reporter Ben Dowell.
Chibnall said he "hadn't started yet' on the show, and that all his energies were currently focused on Season 3 of his ITV crime drama Broadchurch. The (season) has been shot, but Chibnall said he is still working on the editing of the eight-part story, which sees David Tennant and Olivia Colman's detectives investigate a violent rape.
Tennant, who starred in Doctor Who as the 10th actor to portray the title role, has pushed for Chibnall to consider Colman for the role – especially as calls for changing up the string of white men as The Doctor grows louder by the day.
Yet, even oddsmakers are putting their money on Ben Whishaw, a white guy best known as playing Q in the later James Bond films with Daniel Craig.
There have been ups and downs for the Doctor Who franchise since Russell T. Davies left in 2010. While both Matt Smith and Capaldi have generated sizable fan followings, many episodes and adventures have been rather hit or miss. Especially with Moffat's desire to develop complex story lines which sometimes become difficult to unravel.
Chibnall has received praise for Broadchurch, which had a short Americanized life as Gracepoint as well. Yet, Chibnall's five episodes of Doctor Who since 2007 have been far from memorable.
His first shot was in the show's third season called "42" when Tennant's Doctor had to stop a spaceship that was racing for the center of a sun. He tried again in 2010 with the two-parter "The Hungry Earth" and "Cold Blood" that, at least, introduced us to the Silurians (and indirectly produced what would become the recurring character of Madame Vastra, played by Neve McIntosh).
His first episode in the Smith era was "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" in 2012, which many fans don't seem to like to talk about.
Chibnall followed that with "The Power of Three" a few weeks later that had something to do with black cubes littering the Earth.
Understandably, that has some fans concerned. When BBC announced several years ago Moffat was taking over, he had at least the episode "Blink" under his belt with the weeping angels that many still talk about today.
And now it seems Chibnall's first major test is going to be finding the right actor to fill the role. How will he go about it? Who will the next Doctor be?
It looks like we're finding out in August.

Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control.

We got his haircut today and went out for new sneakers, shirts and jeans. I took off tomorrow so we can get him all organized and ready to go back on Thursday morning. All in all it was a good summer. We did some fun things - vacation, air show, town carnival, hiking, lots of sleepovers, BBQ's etc. Yesterday I finally let him move into difficult child's former and much larger bedroom and he is in 7th heaven! I can't believe he's going to be in 7th grade this year!! I'm really praying it's a good year!!

Oh my god. Come back to this. Please! Pretty please! It's so good! I want to know how Roger ends up with April and Mark with Muareen. I have to know! Please write more! Please!
| Cohen101 chapter 9 . 8/3/2008
Reviews would be awesome because this is awesome. Please update it. Please? This is really good, and I know it's been a long time, but I don't care ;)
Aw, shoot. I friggen loved Sarah. She was the coolest kid in the world, reading Hitchhikers and sleeping with Roger cause she was scared of the dark. Sucks that happened...
Update soon?
| Lillian Resolve chapter 9 . 10/17/2007
holy shit... this is really good...i expect more soon plz
| Mollie chapter 8 . 8/22/2007
"I think I'll call you Larry." So, so perfect. *Thumbs up*
| rugez chapter 9 . 7/21/2007
Wow it's been a while. I really like this story, you make an interesting back story for Collins, Mark and Roger. I'm hoping for more Mark in the next chapter, as his and Roger's little romance is definietly my favorite part of the story.
| Hooraytheweird chapter 8 . 5/12/2007
It's been seven months...Please...Another chapter. Before I jump off my roof.
| SupernaturalSweetheart chapter 8 . 3/5/2007
HAHAHA your face is an asshole...thats great...i love this!
| maya chapter 8 . 2/7/2007
update! please?
| Folie.a.deuxx chapter 8 . 10/21/2006
Well, I just have to start out by saying..."Maureen was essentially Roger with a vagina."
Had to be my favorite line of the whole chapter. They story is...I love it! I just recently finished Last Year yesterday, and it was amazing! I cried...twice.
"Every single one of them was blue. I knew better than to tell Roger that." My favorite line in Last Year. Anyway, keep updating! I love it!
| Demia chapter 8 . 10/9/2006
LOL great!
| HoorayTheWeird chapter 8 . 10/9/2006
God, I love you. This story is serious, but it's funny. It's dramatic and angsty, but it light hearted and goofy. Best. Story. Ever.
| Kagedtiger chapter 8 . 10/8/2006
Nice. It's a good change of pace to get all the perspectives in one chapter. And now we have Maureen, too! Exciting. I'm definitely wondering how Mark's going to react when he finds out about Roger's drug habit. Good job as always, and I look forward to the next chapter!
| Mel chapter 8 . 10/7/2006
Hey, you're not dead! Yay!
A few things:
1. Multi-POV fics provide a fuller idea of what is going on. Yay.
2. Collins is love.
3. No really, he is. Especially in his depressed state. I like seeing something different and no one ever writes Collins as depressed unless its right after Angel dies, and even then its only for a paragraph.
4. "Maureen was essentially Roger with a vagina" one of the best lines ever (
| Hotshot chapter 8 . 10/7/2006
I think that reading this story and enjoying it so much is going to lead to me picking up the 'your face' insults.
We'll have to see what my roommate thinks of this.
I love your characterizations of all of them. It was slightly strange to get input from all of them in one chapter but at the same time I think it worked for the information you needed to cover.
-smacks- Now this time don't take so long to update!
| cakefic chapter 8 . 10/7/2006
"Maureen was essentially Roger with a vagina."
Best line ever.
Great chapter. loved everything about it. Even if Collins made me sad. Looking forward to another update!

I have hope that flying cars will exist in the future. I have hope that there are actual people reading this blog. I have hope that 'World Peace' never changes his name back to Ron Artest. I can hope that these ideas come to fruition. But I don't have to simply rely on hope when I think about the future of green construction.
On Wednesday, SRELP made a field trip to PCBC, a trade show at the Moscone center that showcased construction materials from around the nation. The vast number of green options was exciting and inspiring to behold. As is the case with many companies, there were a few people that used the word green a bit too freely to describe products that weren't exactly green, but for the most part, the booths offered a variety of green options for building materials and construction. Some favorites:
Matrix Viribright LED Light bulbs: Whereas fluorescent light bulbs are indeed sustainable, LED lights are even better! This is due to the fact that LED lights do not use mercury, making them easier to dispose of; and use a greater portion of the electricity they consume for generating light– meaning that they are more efficient. In addition, Viribright's light bulbs are cheaper than most LED bulbs. The one downside I noticed to Viribright's LED lights is that they are only manufactured in China and Vietnam.
Trunano Counter Top Sealant: This sealant is unique for– supposedly– using no VOCs (a fancy word for dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde or acetone), being biodegradable, and using covalent bonds instead of using an adhesive to repel the liquid. This means that the counter tops only need to be resealed every 3 or 4 years, rather than every 6 months. The downside to this product is the price, but over time, having to buy this product once every few years ensures that the costs even out.
Enerflex Radiant Barrier: A layer of foil with a net of wire built inside, the enerflex barrier can be placed in one's attic to reflect the heat waves that come from the sun outward, lowering the temperature of one's attic. This means that the air conditioning unit can reduce its energy usage by up to 20%.
All in all it was a wonderful event, and I am glad to know that green business is still important to homeowners of the Pacific Coast.
Until next time,

What You'll Get
Light is spectrum of colours, each with its own healing properties—red tackles wrinkles, blue zaps blemishes, and indigo tries to convince everyone it's a real colour. Get illuminated with today's Groupon: for $99, you get six laser hair-removal treatments on your choice of the lip, chin, nose, hands, feet, sideburns, or cheek at Enlighten Laser Center and Salon (up to a $450 value). Today's Groupon is valid at two participating locations in Halifax and one in Sydney.
Enlighten Laser Center and Salon employs light's dynamic powers to abolish undesirable hairs from a variety of body parts. The laser hair-removal process commences with a complimentary consultation conducted by a staff member or sage hairless cat to discuss expectations and procedure details. As customers don protective goggles, an experienced aesthetician then applies a light layer of chilled gel to gently muffle the controlled heat emitting from the intense-pulsed-light system laser. While the pulses quickly penetrate the skin, follicles loosen their tight grip, and hairs slowly depart, joining the ranks of countless long-forgotten stuffed animals and front teeth. Many clients claim the sensation is no more painful than slight razor burn. Clients may choose areas such as the lip or chin (a $49/session value), hands (a $50–$75/session value), or cheeks (a $75–$100/session value).
The Fine Print

We sometimes tell people we met in Walmart (not exactly sure how that's "better"), but in reality, we are an online dating success story. I met Ana on match.com.
I can't remember who initiated the conversation, but I do remember that her profile name was something like "latinmommy", and was all about her and her kids (now my step-kids; Johnathan and Jasmine). Ana say that her sister actually made the profile for her ... she obviously did a good job. Which ever one of us it was who "winked" at the other first, eventually it was mutual, and we started chatting ... first by email, then more "real time" on yahoo, and on the phone.
Finally on the morning of the 4th of July, I happened to catch Ana on yahoo chat. We talked for a few minutes, then she said she had to get offline, so she could go shopping for school supplies at Walmart. Since two of my kids (Justin and Jordan) had come to live with me that summer, I also needed school supplies, so offered to meet her there ...
We got all the school stuff, and I picked up a tv for the kids room. During the hour or so we were there, we had a nice conversation, and Ana (unintentionally on my part) got to see my scatter brained side. When I paid for the TV with my debit card, in the electronics department, I asked for $40 cash back ... and then promptly walked away without the money! Fortunately, I discovered it in the parking lot, and had time to run back in. The poor cashier had to count her drawer and check it against the printout, but eventually I got my money; and Ana got a good laugh at my expense (the first of many times to come).
A few minutes later, I got a phone call from Justin. His mom had called wanting to talk to Jordan. The one little problem ... Jordan had gone outside to play, and Justin wasn't sure exactly where she was ... I needed to get home ASAP.
Before I left, I did a very smart thing ...
During our conversation, Ana had told me that her kids would be spending the evening with her dad, so she didn't know what she was doing that night. Well, since I lived just a 10 minute walk from the beach, and had a great view of 3 different fireworks displays, I decided to invite her to come watch the show with us. (I was just being nice)
I won't bore you with the rest of the details. The long story short version ... at the end of the evening, I walked her to her car; we kissed; saw fireworks of our own; got married about 6 months later. My 3 kids, her 2, and when Jaiden was born in August 2008 ... that's the way we all became the Brady Bunch ... (come on everyone sing along)
Seriously though, so that this isn't just a story about me, there is a Todd's Tip here ...
Should you find yourself single, online dating really isn't a bad thing. Sure there are some weirdos and freaks out there. But, for the most part there are also a whole bunch of nice normal people, who are looking to connect with other nice normal people. Don't be scared, take a chance !
Til next time ...

I have heard that way more people are meeting online successfully than ever before. (Insert here's your sign here) Obviously more people are comfortable with the Internet now than ever before, but non-the-less I have known a few of my friends that met online and have had successful relationships out of the endeavor.ReplyDelete

Hey Josh,ReplyDelete
Yea, my wife and I used to joke about it. Even as recently as a couple of years ago, many people were still a bit embarrassed to admit to online dating.
You know, if you have to resort to the computer, you're likely to only meet people who are "desperate", or "ugly", or "weird" ... or even worse, people might think you are one of those.
Once I started to really think about it though, I realize that hey, I'm pretty much a nice, normal guy ... I bet there are others like me who signed up on dating sites too ... and I was right :-)

Congratulations!!! I was stationed with you in Korea (2005 time frame). I was thinking about candle companies today. I ended up on someone's Mia Bella site, and something clicked in my head reminding me of you and your candles. I did a Google search and ended up here. I'm still doing research to see if there's a company that is a good fit for me. I'm mainly interested in a discount for myself versus actively selling to anyone else. Anyway I'm glad to read that you are happy, so congratulations to you again...and a baby too. I have an 11 month old myself. Huge congratulations to you and your family.ReplyDelete

It also features delay reverb and distortion, so the sound is comparable to Propellerhead's ReBirth RB-338. gsyn has been compiled and tested under Linux 2.[01], IRIX 6.2, Solaris 2.6, Windows 95, and Windows NT.
