[0001]1. Field of the Invention
[0002]The present invention relates to a method for grinding semiconductor wafers.
[0003]2. Background Art
[0004]Semiconductor wafers are produced according to the prior art by a plurality of process groups:
[0005]a) producing a monocrystalline semiconductor ingots (crystal growth)
[0006]b) slicing the ingot into individual wafers ("wafering", "sawing")
[0007]c) mechanical processing
[0008]d) chemical processing
[0009]e) chemical-mechanical processing
[0010]f) optionally coating.
In addition to the foregoing groups, a multiplicity of further steps, such as cleaning, sorting, measuring and packaging steps, may also be carried out.
[0011]The group of mechanical processing steps comprises rounding the wafer edge and planarizing the wafer surface by means of mechanically abrasive steps which remove material. Edge rounding is carried out by grinding or polishing, for example with round or band-shaped tools.
[0012]Planarizing of the wafer surface is carried out "in batch", i.e. for a plurality of wafers simultaneously, by so-called "lapping" with free abrasive using a lapping suspension ("slurry") or as a single-wafer process by grinding with bound abrasive.
[0013]In the case of single-sided grinding, one side of the semiconductor wafer is fixed by means of a vacuum in a wafer carrier ("chuck"), and the other side is processed by a grinding disc coated with grinding abrasive. If both sides of the wafer are intended to be ground, the processing of the two sides of the semiconductor wafer is generally carried out sequentially.
[0014]Batch double-sided grinding methods are also employed, with lapping kinematics in which there is bound abrasive or abrasive applied onto coatings (cloth) onto large working discs facing one another, between which the semiconductor wafers are ground on both sides as in the case of lapping while being partially free to move in guide cages.
[0015]In order to achieve a particularly good geometry of the processed wafers, a simultaneous double-sided grinding method ("double disc grinding", DDG) is often used.
[0016]EP 1 049 145 A1 discloses a processing sequence which involves a DDG pregrinding step ("roughing"), followed by one or more (sequential) single-sided fine grinding steps ("flattening").
[0017]Conversely, U.S. Pat. No. 6,066,565 describes the use of the DDG method in a two-stage process with double-sided pregrinding and a double-sided fine grinding. This requires two machines and clamping the workpiece a plurality of times.
[0018]DE 101 42 400 A1 discloses a method which is carried out with a simultaneous double-sided grinding machine and is characterized in that it comprises only a single processing operation with the workpiece being clamped only once. This means that the generally required pre-processing and fine processing ("roughing" and "flattening") take place in a single integrated processing step. Also described is a simultaneous double-sided grinding method, using a workpiece retainer which holds and moves the semiconductor wafer virtually without constrained guiding ("free-floating process", FFP).
[0019]In the case of simultaneous double-sided grinding, which is also described for example in EP 868 974 A2, the semiconductor wafer is processed simultaneously on both sides while floating freely between two grinding discs mounted on opposite collinear spindles, and is guided substantially free from constraining forces axially between a water cushion (hydrostatic principle) or air cushion (aerostatic principle) acting on the front and back sides, and is radially prevented from floating thereon loosely by a thin circumferential guide ring or by individual radial spokes. The semiconductor wafer rotates about its symmetry axis during the grinding. This rotation is driven by friction tools engaging on the front and back sides, via a "notch finger" which engages in an orienting reference "notch", or by friction belts which partially enclosed the semiconductor wafer circumferentially.
[0020]DE 10 2004 005 702 A1 discloses a method for producing a semiconductor wafer, comprising double-sided grinding of the semiconductor wafer in which the semiconductor wafer is ground initially coarsely and subsequently finely on both sides by a grinding tool, during which the semiconductor wafer remains clamped in the grinding machine between coarse and fine grinding, and the grinding tool engages with an essentially constant load when changing from course grinding to fine grinding. DE 10 2004 005 702 A1 furthermore describes a device for the double-sided grinding of flat workpieces, comprising two double spindles each with an inner sub-spindle and an outer sub-spindle, an instrument for loading and unloading the workpiece, and a workpiece retainer which is arranged between the double spindles and by which the workpiece is held free-floating during grinding. The sub-spindles are arranged coaxially and carry grinding tools for grinding opposite sides of the workpiece, at least one sub-spindle of each double spindle being axially displaceable independently of the other sub-spindle of the double spindle.
[0021]During the grinding processes, whether single-sided or double-sided grinding, it is necessary to cool the grinding tool and/or the processed semiconductor wafer. Water or deionized water is conventionally used as a coolant. Commercial grinding machines, for example the models DFG8540 and DFG8560 ("Grinder 800 Series") from Disco Corp., which are suitable for grinding wafers with diameters of 100-200 mm and 200-300 mm respectively, are equipped on the working side with a vacuum unit which ensures a constant coolant flow rate of 1 or 3 l/min (=litres per minute) during the grinding, depending on the coolant temperature (constantly 1 l/min for a temperature of less than 22° C., constantly 3 l/min for a temperature of more than 22° C.).
[0022]Double-sided grinding machines are available for example from Koyo Machine Industries Co., Ltd. The model DXSG320 is suitable for the DDG grinding of 300 mm wafers. Both vertical and horizontal spindles are employed in combination with special diamond grinding tools. These grinding tools are designed so that they cut only with the edge and combine a rapid forward feed rate with little heat production. The main difference is the wafer holding. The wafer to be processed is fixed by hydrostatic pressure pads on both sides in a transport ring. The wafer is driven merely by a small nose which engages in the notch or in the flat. Stress-free holding of the wafer can be ensured in this way.
[0023]JP58143948 describes a method for cooling in single-sided grinding machines and the way in which the coolant is applied onto the wafer surface to be processed. JP2250771 teaches to determine the coolant flow rate and, depending on a measured grinding temperature, to increase it rapidly in order to both keep the grinding temperature within a predetermined temperature range and to keep the amount of coolant used at the minimum required level.
[0024]In double-sided grinding machines, the process coolant conventionally emerges from the centre of the grinding tool and is transported to the grinding teeth by means of the centrifugal force. The coolant throughput can be regulated by keeping the coolant flow rate at a setpoint value. This regulating may be carried out electronically by means of a suitable measuring device and actuators or by mechanical means (pressure reducer).
[0025]US 2001/025660 AA proposes to monitor machine working/engagement times and machine idle/setup times ("active" and "idle" modes) of the grinding machine automatically and to regulate the coolant flow rate accordingly. At the start of the setup time the coolant flow is reduced or entirely stopped, and it is subsequently increased periodically during the setup time, i.e. the introduction of a new workpiece. This achieves more economical use of coolant compared with the solutions likewise known in the prior art, namely to keep the coolant flow rate constant even during the machine idle time. A certain coolant flow rate at least towards the end of the setup time seems to be advantageous, since the grinding machines contain sensors which are extremely sensitive to temperature differences.
[0026]U.S. Pat. No. 5,113,622 AA proposes temperature detectors on the coolant in-and outflows. The difference between the temperatures at the inflow and the outflow is thereby determined. This temperature difference is intended to indicate the amount of heat generated during the grinding, by taking into account the coolant flow rate and the dissipation of heat. In order to keep the temperature of the GaAs wafer to be processed below a particular target temperature, and to avoid fracture or warp due to residual thermal stresses, corresponding regulation of the coolant flow rate is proposed as a function of the continuously determined amounts of heat.
[0027]Known prior art methods therefore involve either keeping the temperature of the workpiece constant or below a target value and increasing the coolant flow rate accordingly, or setting a constant coolant flow rate with one or two target values. Problems, which the prior art was not able to resolve at the application date, consist of workpieces ground with one and the same grinding tool having different surface damages, which implies non-constant grinding conditions, and also the lifetime of grinding tools. In the latter context, one skilled in the art recognizes that grinding tool service life is generally unsatisfactory even when a constant coolant flow rate and (therefore) supposedly sufficient cooling of the workpiece and the grinding tool are meant to be ensured.
[0028]It was an object of the present invention to achieve more constant grinding conditions and an improved type of cooling in grinding machines. These and other objects are achieved by a method for grinding semiconductor wafers, the semiconductor wafers being processed so as to remove material on one or both sides by means of at least one grinding tool, with a supply of a coolant delivered into a contact region between a semiconductor wafer and the at least one grinding tool, wherein the coolant flow rate is set as a function of a grinding tooth height of the grinding tool, and this coolant flow rate is reduced as the grinding tooth height decreases.
[0029]Both single-sided and a double-sided grinding machines according to the prior art are suitable for the method according to the invention. The invention preferably relates to a method for the single-sided grinding of semiconductor wafers. Methods for the simultaneous double-sided grinding of semiconductor wafers (DDG) are most preferred.
[0030]Preferably, when using an unworn grinding tool fresh from the factory, a current grinding tooth height of this grinding tool is respectively determined during the grinding processes and the coolant flow rate is reduced as a function of the grinding tooth height determined in this way, although the coolant flow rate should not fall below a particular minimum value even with a low grinding tooth height. In contrast to the prior art, the coolant flow rate is thus not constant or even increased, rather it is reduced.
[0031]The Inventors have discovered that only in this way is it possible to achieve constant cooling of the contact region between a workpiece and a grinding tool. The coolant then stops in front of the grinding teeth, flows around them and is turbulated as a function of the height of the grinding teeth in the contact region between the workpiece and the grinding tool. The amount of coolant which reaches this contact region is crucial for the grinding outcome ("sub-surface damage") and the service life of the grinding tool.
[0032]Ceramically bound diamond grinding teeth are subject to wear, so that the height of the grinding teeth decreases with an increasing length of use. The Inventors have discovered that in the prior art, constant cooling of the contact region between a workpiece and a grinding tool is not in fact possible throughout the period of use, when provision is simply made to keep the coolant flow rate constant. Rather, the Inventors have discovered that it is advantageous to set a higher coolant throughput for tools fresh from the factory than for worn tools.
[0033]When the grinding tooth height of the workpiece reaches a minimum value, the throughput should be selected to be so low as to prevent an aquaplaning effect, which would interrupt the grinding process. This applies most to double-sided grinding machines, whereas the aquaplaning effect is less critical for single-sided machines.
[0034]In order to avoid the aquaplaning effect with a continuously constant coolant flow rate in the prior art, grinding tools reaching a critical minimum grinding tooth height have been replaced.
[0035]Software of the electronic cooling-water flow regulator ensures that a current setpoint value of the coolant flow rate for the one grinding tool, or for both grinding tools separately, is determined via a parameterizable profile, comprising a plurality of sample points and dependent on the grinding tooth height, of the coolant flow rate (cf. Example and Table 1) after measuring a current grinding tooth height.
[0036]The throughput is regulated, preferably by means of an actuator or a pressure reducer, to this setpoint value which changes with the grinding tooth height. The corresponding actuator and pressure reducer devices are already known in the prior art for ensuring a constant coolant flow rate by regulation.
[0037]The current grinding tooth height of the grinding tool or tools, is preferably ascertained after each workpiece has been processed.
[0038]The particular advantages of the method of the invention are that constant surface damage is achieved throughout the grinding tool service life owing to constant cooling of the contact region between the workpiece and the grinding tool.
[0039]The method furthermore prevents aquaplaning from occurring with a low grinding tooth height, or replacing the grinding tool prematurely when a particular grinding tooth height is reached. In the prior art, the device for measuring the grinding tooth height was provided for the purpose of monitoring the grinding tooth height in order to carry out the necessary tool replacement immediately when the minimum grinding tooth height is reached.
[0040]Furthermore, a better cooling effect with a large grinding tooth height allows a longer grinding tool service life overall.
[0041]The following example relates to a double-sided grinding machine of the DXSG320 type from Koyo Machine Industries.
[0042]Here, the two vertically arranged grinding tools are cooled separately from one another, i.e. different coolant throughputs are selected for the left and right grinding tools in the event that the grinding tooth height of the left grinding tool is less than that of the right grinding tool.
[0043]The water flow rate sets a 100% reference value for the left and right grinding tools. In this example, it is 1.5 litres/minute for a cooling-water temperature of 21° C., which represents a conventional value according to the prior art. In the prior art, attempts are usually made to keep this water flow rate constant. The prior art has already proposed actuators or pressure reducers on the grinding machines for this purpose.
[0044]For each grinding tool, a plurality of sample points of the water flow rate are set as % of the water flow rate reference value (=100%) as a function of a current grinding tooth height, i.e. for example a water flow rate which is 60% of the reference value (=0.9 lmin-1) for a grinding tooth height of 0.5 mm.
[0045]The grinding tooth height, which is ascertained separately by the machine for each grinding tool after each grinding step, is specified in mm, cf Table 1. The grinding machine in question is already equipped on the working side with devices for measuring the grinding tooth heights of the grinding tools.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Water flow rate 1.5 1 min-1 = 100% (left and right grinding tools) Grinding tooth height (mm) 0.0 0.3 0.5 1.0 2.0 6.0 Water flow rate (%) 40 40 60 100 108 140
[0046]By means of machine software, curves are interpolated between the parameterized sample points (five sample points in this example) so that an exact setpoint value for the cooling-water flow rate can be assigned to each ascertained grinding tooth height. This setpoint value for the cooling-water flow rate is given to the in-machine regulator as a target quantity. During the grinding process, the machine then separately regulates the two grinding tools to the respective current setpoint value. The regulating per se is carried out substantially automatically by means of actuators and pressure reducers.
[0047]The grinding tools used initially have a grinding tooth height of 6.00 mm in the unused state. The water flow rate at the start is selected to be 140% of the standard value (100%) of 1.5 litres/minute. The minimum coolant flow rate to prevent aquaplaning effects is 40% of the standard value.
[0048]While embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it is not intended that these embodiments illustrate and describe all possible forms of the invention. Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

text: I've switched from the HP EFI ECU to the Dominator ECU. Swapped turbo 350 to a 4L80E. I bought the harness to plug & play for the transmission, but which extra harness do I need to buy to hook up the proper outputs to the speedometer? I have J2A, J2B & J3 open. I'm fairly new to the Holley EFI stuff and have a professional lined up to tune the car, but I would like to have this hooked up ahead of time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A couple of times a year, the Master Forgers do a little extra-curricular scrapping behind the scenes and then run up a little blog hop to let all of you in on the fun.
So, if you have come here via Stephanie, then you are on the right track. And if you have landed here directly, you'll want to head back to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge (here) to get to the beginning of the hop. I really suggest you do so that you can check out how wrong (or maybe they are all right!) about whose style the Master Forgers have been scrapping.
Now, what was the challenge then I hear you say? This time, it was my turn to come up with a challenge for us all to (voluntarily) join in with and I scratched my head for some time until I came up with something that mixed up a couple of different ideas.
First off, I came up with 20 questions that could help us describe our own style of scrapping. Now, remember that this is just for fun and really, all of us change it up all the time, but it was time to put a stake in the ground and step up to the line on what sort of scrapper we are! All sorts of mixed idioms here today....
All the answers were sent to me and I pulled them together, made the answers describing individual styles anonymous, then mixed them up and redistributed them out to each of us for a style that was more or less different to our own style. From the chatter in the FB Master Forgers group, I managed to really mix them up quite well and handed out styles that really were quite a challenge! (Insert evil laugh here :-) )
All sorts of accusations were thrown around - had I returned their own answers back to thems? Did we all have the same answers? Had I just given them some random answers? What had I done to them? I *think* they were all joking and taking it in the spirit it was meant to be LOL but I was giggling to myself. Of course, I knew who all the swap partners were and even knew who I had swapped myself with but it was just as difficult for me as it was for them - I just didn't have to think about who it could be.
The idea is that each of us should make a page using our own "standard" style, then another one in the style of our secret partner and share the results with you. Hopefully they have given you lots of fun along the hop and also told you who they *think* they are swapped with. All will be revealed at the end of my mega-post so bear with me :-)
First off, let me show you the page I made with my own answers to the style questions. I used my November CKC kit, Comfort and tried to combine autumn and Christmas on the same page...
Yep, that looks like one of mine don't you think? There's layers, and distressing and angles. There's a single square photo about nothing in particular, mixed collections, mismatched products. All me I think. I did try to include all 20 answers and enjoyed making this page - just playing around.
Then came my "secret" swap partner. I knew who I had but when I read through the answers, I gulped. Patterned paper background, bold colours, straight lines, no distressing, clean and simple. Double gulp.
Looking that I should use older papers, I decided to delve into my September, Passport kit which is full of older product and also picked up on the travel theme mentioned in the answers. I flipped through until I came across one of my favourite map papers which is relatively bright and decided that this would be good as my background paper. Double, straight matting was all the layers I allowed myself (that was HARD!) and minimal embellies.
I really struggled to keep it simple and am not even sure I managed it! I ended up stitching as my main embellishment which I think kept to the idea of less is more in my partner's style. Visual triangle but diagonal design too - got that. Elements in one of the corners - tick. Mixed alpha - sigh, easier! It was almost more than I could stand not to load it up with stuff and bits and pieces and ink splots. I had to practically sit on my hands.
On a side note, even though I'm not in LOVE with this layout, I love that I was encouraged to scrap this very insignificant (on first view) photograph. All my Philippine photos are pre-digi shots and are far from perfect so this capture of my apartment building from across the street makes me smile - the stitching helps to identify why the photo is important! Love that.
If you are at all interested seeing what I claimed my style to be in comparison to my "Secret" partner then check out below...
So.... who do you think MY secret partner is? It's one of the Master Forgers - one of the more clean and simple girls..... Yes, you guessed it - my partner was JULENE!!! Can you see it? I'm not sure if I can but maybe you can see more of her style in my travel layout than I can - what do you think?
Thanks for hanging out with me today and here's the full list in case you get lost along the way. Make sure you leave me a comment to let me know you were here and tell me a bit about your own scrap style.
Of course, I'm not going to leave you hanging - I'm adding the names of the secret partners after the names in the list below and I'm hoping to do a follow up post to let you know who was right and who was oh, so wrong :-)

Margot Hayhoe's career in television production spanned over four decades, much of it spent as an AFM (assistant floor manager) and later as production manager at the BBC. These key behind-the-scenes roles saw her work on six Doctor Who adventures between 1966 and 1983, taking much of the responsibility for finding suitable exteriors for the series' location filming requirements. "The very first thing I ever did as an assistant floor manager was in 1966 on The War Machines," she says when we meet up at London's South Bank to discuss the practicalities and pitfalls of location filming.
However, prior to entering a life in production, the young Margot worked on the other side of the camera. "I was a child actor," she remembers. "I went to a school called the Arts Educational. I used to go to Saturday morning classes and the teacher thought I was a good dancer, so at nine I went to stage school. But I wasn't really a very good dancer, so I switched more to the acting side.
"I'd been in a couple of productions for the BBC. I thought it was a really rather exciting atmosphere to be in. I did a theatre job on tour with a rather well-known couple, Cicely Courtneidge and Jack Hulbert. They were both film stars in the 1930s and 40s, and there they were, at Crewe Station, waiting for a train to go to the next place. I was an understudy, and I had to go front of house so that when Cicely came on I could start the applause, as otherwise she wasn't a happy lady and would just sort of rush through it. I didn't want to end up like that. I wasn't going to get many parts, so I thought, 'No, let's do something else.' And how exciting it was doing television."


text: I am upgrading each of my developers testing environment and have upgraded from Kubuntu Edgy to Kubuntu Hardy. In doing so the afs client is behaving differently. On Edgy I ran a customized init script (afstokengrabber.sh) during boot that called another script (reauth.pl) that obtained a kerberos ticket and afs tokens for my apache/tomcat user (wwwrun) and renewed them about every 4 hours. I do this because the web application is stored in their home dir which is on AFS. This all worked fine. Afstokengrabber.sh runs as root and has this line that calls reauth.pl start-stop-daemon --start -c wwwrun --exec /var/lib/wwwrun/reauth.pl reauth.pl has these two main lines in it kinit -k -t /var/lib/wwwrun/devuser.keytab devuser aklog this worked great in Edgy, wwwrun would get it's tickets and tokens, tomcat could access the webapp stored in afs everyone was happy. Now that I upgraded to Hardy and set things up the same the behavior changes. Now wwwrun user gets kerberos tickets but root user gets the tokens. I can't for the life of me get wwwrun user to get tokens. I tried using k5start as well but got the same results, root got tokens while wwwrun got tickets. I am not an afs guru but I think it has something to do with the PAG. I tried using pagsh in the scripts to somehow get it to work but no results. Wondering if anyone has suggestions of how to get around my obstacle. In a nutshell I need the apache/tomcat user to constantly have a ticket and token so it can access the webapp stored on afs. I need the token to work across different console sessions so they don't have to worry about keeping a certain one up and running. It works perfectly now. I am assuming that some improvements to the afs client has change how things run now all I need to do is adjust my scripts but I have run out of ideas. Hope someone out there understands my gibberish and has an idea for me. I know the answer is probably staring me in the face I just can't see it. Thanks, Jared

Cool Videos: Would you like to see a live action Nightwing series? Kickstart it!
Kickstarter is a great tool for filmmakers because it gives fans the opportunity to support projects that would otherwise not make it to theaters, television, or major websites. This NIGHTWING series is a prime example of that.
Fans and filmmakers Danny Shepherd and Jeremy Le released a NIGHTWING short film earlier this year and got almost a million hits. From that support, they decided to venture out to make the DC hero his very own series.
For those of you who don't know, Nightwing is the name adopted by former Robin, Dick Grayson. He sets off on his own adventures that focus on his acrobatic talents. While not exactly a major superhero, Nightwing is definitely an interesting one. With shows like BIRDS OF PREY, SMALLVILLE, and now ARROW taking darker looks at DC stories that would not quite fit on the big screen, NIGHTWING seems an easy choice.
So, check out both the fan film and the teaser below and if you want to see this a reality, head on over to Kickstarter and help these guys out!

Such is the case with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also commonly referred to as Healthcare Reform (HCR) and "Obamacare."
During the election I heard tales of small businesses that were going to have to discontinue benefits or fire staff because of the onerous tenants of this legislation. When I would dig deeper 90% of the time that business had less than 50 employees and was exempt from the law. Obamacare has become that unpopular boss on which you can blame everything because the bill is so complex that few employees can or will read and understand it.
So what is it exactly? What businesses are affected? Here is a really high level overview of the major provisions of a really complex bill.
- First of all, as I said above, the bill impacts "large employers" defined as those having 50 or more employees. When I use the term "employers" below it means those who must comply.
- Effective March 1, 2012 it required employers to notify new hires of the presence insurance exchanges as well as the tax implications if they elect coverage through exchanges.
- Effective September 23, 2012 it required employers to make Summary Plan Descriptions in plain language so laymen can understand them. Note: I have pushed for this with every health plan I've administered since the 90's and this is long overdue. People should understand their coverage.
- Upon the next renewal period after September 23, 2012 it requires that employers give their employees 60 days notice before making significant changes to their health benefits.
- Effective with the signing of the bill, it bars employers or insurers from retroactively cancelling insurance coverage unless the employee has engaged in fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
- Effective with the signing of the bill insurance plans that require the employee to designate a primary provider (think HMO here) must allow the employee, not the plan or employer, to choose the provider.
- For health plans renewing after August 1, 2012 it required that women's preventative health services be covered by the plan with no employee cost-sharing.
- Effective January 1, 2013 it limited contributions to your FSA (not including any employer contribution) to $2,500.
- Effective January 1, 2014 it eliminates annual limits on medical benefits. No longer will seriously ill patients go into bankruptcy because their insurance capped below their expenses.
- Effective January 1, 2014 no health plan may impose a waiting period of longer than 90 days for those electing coverage.
- Effective January 1, 2014 pre-existing condition exclusions will be banned regardless of age (they are already outlawed for children under 19).
Finally you may note that I have left out discussions on the individual mandate. That is because, like my friends with the businesses of less than 50 employees, if you are covered by a health plan you are not affected by the individual mandate, i.e. you already have insurance.
I have been administering the health plans of my employers for about 20 years. I have seen sickening abuses by insurance carriers and concluded that except for an active and professional HR department, which many companies don't have, employees are on their own and often helpless in matters of insurance. The reforms above have been needed for decades.
HCR is an imperfect bill reflecting Congressional Democrats obsession with highly compensated employees getting a better deal than others. It also falls short of the most needed remaining reform: abolish FSA accounts and their use-it-or-lose-it provisions and allow HSA accounts for everyone regardless of plan. Still, it is a major step forward in protecting employees and their dependents for insurance company abuses.

The new FLEXcoupled AC coupling package from OutBack is a great choice for an existing or new grid tie system. AC-coupling enables an existing grid-tied inverter system to "couple" as
another energy source to a second grid-interactive inverter (with connected battery storage) and share their combined energy while providing battery back-up security and flexibility.
The OutBack FLEXcoupled system is unique from other AC-coupling types in that its foundation is a superior split-phase inverter/charger with dual AC inputs, transfer switching, power management flexibility and multiple operational modes for a wide range of energy scenarios, and greater dynamic stability.

These easy days are going to give me a false sense of progress. Today, it's only three panels with dialogue, and of those, only a couple of things for me to learn.
New vocabulary/kanji for me:
更衣室 着れる
Old vocabulary/new kanji:
制服 持つ
My review schedule has me writing a strip's dialogue first (without looking up kanji stroke order), then writing kanji every time it comes up in Anki reviews. So far, I don't feel I've gained anything from all that writing, but it's too soon to be certain. I'm sure once I write 持つ a bit, I'll stop confusing it with 待つ. (Looks like I can see 持つ with a "hand" on the left for "holding" a possession, and 待つ with "go" on the left, such as "waiting" to go somewhere.)
持ってきます (to bring)
Continued funny business:
- んだ
I'm starting to remember that this is のだ. I'm just not certain how "explanatory のだ" (plus ね) applies to, "Yay, I get to wear a uniform ♪" It wouldn't convey explanation for why shes' excited, would it?

Your kids have an uncanny way of breaking your heart, like no one else in your life. Take tonight, for example. I had occasion to say no to my teen daughter who, in turn, has given me the silent treatment for the past few hours. I know that I made the right decision - that's not in question. Yet, I still feel pulled to run to her and say, "I've reconsidered. The answer is yes."
Why? Because it's way harder to be a good parent than a bad one. It takes effort. It would be way, way easier to say yes to my kid, be the hero and bask in the "you're the best" accolades that would surely ensue. Saying no is really hard. It means setting limits and exercising my judgment in what, I think, is her best interest. And weathering the fall-out.
Many years ago, before I had children, a friend said to me, "Sometimes I wake up and think 'I don't want to be a mom today'." I was horrified. How could she say such a thing? Having children was surely the most wonderful, gratifying and rewarding job ever!
Wasn't it?
Some years and two kids later, I hear her. Boy, do I hear her. Don't get me wrong: parenting is all those things I thought it was before I had kids. Some of my most cherished memories have to do with my girls: breastfeeding and rocking them during a quiet, still night, gazing at them sleeping peacefully like wee angels, or the look on their faces when they saw something incredible for the first time.
But, these moments are, understandably, punctuated by the everyday work of raising kids - hard, financially-draining, marriage-straining work that it is. Indeed, a plethora of academic studies demonstrate that parenting does not equal happiness.
Probably the most frequently cited research in this area is that of Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel-prize winning behaviour economist who studies the irrationality of how humans make decisions. Kahneman's 2004 survey of over 900 Texan women found that child care was ranked 16th out of 19 possible pleasurable activities. Interestingly, activities such as exercise, shopping, napping and watching t.v. were all ranked higher than child care.
So there you have it. You're not alone in preferring a good spin class to spending time with your kids.
I suspect this is because parenting is the most difficult, unrelenting and yet rewarding job most of us will ever do. Above all, it requires countless sacrifices. This is perhaps the most diabolical part of parenting: sometimes the decisions that are good - nay, even necessary - for us are entirely at odds with what might be in our children's best interest. And so our job as parents is to figure out this precarious balance. Sometimes we get it right. And sometimes not so much.
My advice? If you don't have kids, think long and hard about it before you do. And if it's not for you, then don't do it because you think you should. If you do have kids, talk about your experience with people who aren't afraid to be brutally honest about parenting. Book regular dates with trusted others who will both laugh and cry about their parenting challenges and triumphs. When someone tells you that parenting's a breeze, immediately place them in the same category as smarmy men who endeavour to sell you cheap real estate. Learn, as best you can, to live it the moment and remember that whatever's happening right now, it won't last. When you make a mistake, say you're sorry and mean it. Invest in an TSP (Therapy Savings Plan) for your kids. Because, despite your very best efforts, they'll probably need it.
I'll leave you with poet, Philip Larkin's cheeky take on parenting. For what it's worth.
Be well,
This Be the Verse
By Philip Larkin
They fuck you up, your mom and dad
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

VOICEOVER: I've been expecting you. I know you woke up thinking today was an ordinary day. Well, you couldn't have been more wrong. I'm Adonis, the based god of desire and beauty, and today I'm your white rabbit. Follow me, if you will, down the rabbit hole. And by the end of this journey, you'll be a true ladies man. So if you're ready, let's get started. The first thing you'll need to do is put on some pants. I can see, yeah. You need to cover that up.
Now I need to get you up to speed in mastering your presentation and I'm not talking about a slideshow. I've only ever seen one person pull off the elusive slide-show presentation on why a woman should let him buy her a drink. It just had one slide that said, I'll buy you two. I'm talking about your physical presentation. You see, before a girl gets to know you she judges you by the way you present yourself. This is why your presentation is key. And by your presentation I mean: the way you dress, speak, your interests, passion, and physique. So what are you working with? Well, I know what you're working with. I'm a god after all. You, however, need to consider it carefully. What you should be working with is good hygiene, regular grooming, a gym body, an interesting life and a good fashion sense. It's all basic stuff, but in life, you need a solid foundation in order to build a solid foundation in order to build booty mountain.
Let's start with fashion. I hate when you leave home looking like trash. If Dumpster is the look you're going for, it needs to stop. Rock a style that represents you, but keep it fresh. Look at what's hot and find a way to make it your own. It's more about how you wear it than what you wear. So always make it your own. Okay? Less is more and more is too much. If you have more accessories than Barbie than you might want to rethink your life. That's why I recommend having a good collection of simple classics. It goes without saying that you should dress your age. You shouldn't be wearing sweater vests, I don't care what Macklemore said.
I remember the last time you were well dressed. You sure felt good. You were oozing that wonderful emotion called "confidence". Do you remember? Okay, well, I want you to always dress on point to maintain that confidence. Are you with me? Good. I need you to focus, it's important. Close "Chrome Incognito" and pay attention.
If you're all about saving or you're just low on cash. Do your shopping at the end of every season. In other words, buy Summer clothes at the end of summer and save them up for next summer. Do the same for Winter and Spring. You'll be amazed by the amount of cash you'll save. Cash you could then use to spend on your passion. No! Passion was not the keyword for you to drop them pants. You need to learn to read signs better.
Anyways, if you're interested in dating girls like The Supremes you'll have to be about it. Get off Snapchat and get involved in something that you're passionate about. Something that will take you outside. Maybe become a DJ. Promote parties. Whatever tickles your fancy. Your passion will be a major point of connection with the opposite sex. It's what you want, right? That deep connection to get your groove on. Of course, you do!
Okay, Supremes! Give me a thumbs up if you're insanely attracted to a fit body. The Supremes are especially attracted to a built chest, arms legs, and six pack abs. In fact, one hundred percent of guys reported an eighty percent increase in female attention after working out three days a week for one year. Yes, yes. I know, working out is hard. But it's also really fun once you get into it. Put in the work and you won't regret it. You'll ladies man so well that you'll be surprised at yourself. Trust me! You do trust me, don't you?
Working out will give a giant boost to your confidence. That confidence, it will help when you approach hot girls like The Supremes. It's true that all men are created equal, but some are created more equal than others. You might have a longer road to travel. You might have to put in more work at this than someone else, but you'll get there. Don't be discouraged. Stick with it. After all, you have the God of beauty and desire on your side and there are beautiful things at the end of the rabbit hole. Really? Wow. You didn't take your pants off that time. I totally thought you know what, nevermind. I'm proud of you.
Next tip is a big one. So do yourself a favor and control your body odor. The fastest way to repel hot chicks is by smelling like you sold your ass to the devil. I know, I know. This is some basic stuff, but a shockingly high number of guys walk about smelling like a skunk. Bad breath and all. Oftentimes, they're not even aware of it. You like to work, hard, and play hard, all I'm asking is that you scrub hard too.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – An ambassador on the field, in the classroom, and in the community, Courtney Calkins of Iowa Lakes has been named the 2017 recipient of the Lea Plarski Award as announced by the NJCAA Executive Committee on Thursday.
Given to the student-athlete that best exemplifies sportsmanship, leadership, community service,academic excellence, and athletic ability, the Plarski honor was awarded to Calkins for her exceptional contributions as a Laker. After posting a 4.0 GPA in her final year at Iowa Lakes, Calkins recently graduated with an associates of arts degree with an emphasis in education.
"To be recognized for this honor is beyond belief," Calkins stated. "I am very excited and thankful to have been chosen to receive this award."
As a member of the Lakers' softball team, Calkins was an integral part of the team's 34-16 record. A two-way player, Calkins appeared in all 50 games and boasted a .384 batting average while also posting a team-best 18-5 record in the circle. For her efforts, the sophomore was named to the All-Region XI Second Team and earned Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) Pitcher of the Week honors.
While Calkins' success on the diamond stood out, her achievements in the classroom and on campus were of high caliber. Calkins was named to the NJCA All-Academic First Team and the Academic All-Region XI First Team. Calkins served as Student Senate President in 2017 and was awarded the John K. "Jack" Kibbie Outstanding Student Award. Her accomplishments in the classroom led Calkins to be honored as the 2017 Iowa Lakes commencement speaker in front of her graduating peers.
"At Iowa Lakes, I was given so many opportunities," Calkins said. "I was able to be a part of a softball team that had a successful two years and I built many friendships with my teammates that will last a lifetime. I had some of the best coaches, teachers, and mentors. Without their help, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Athletic and academic attainments were plentiful for Calkins, but her dedication to serving the community of Estherville set her apart. Calkins organized canned food and hygiene product drives, volunteered with the city of Estherville to spruce up the landscaping scene, and spent time at Demoney Elementary school on a weekly basis along with the local animal shelter.
Calkins' impact on the local community was felt regularly, but her service extended well beyond Estherville. Calkins and her teammates raised over $1,100 for the American Heart Association, $300 to the Upper Des Moines Toys for Tots, and $700 worth of toys to children overseas through Operation Christmas Child. Calkins teamed up with the Centers Against Abuse and Sexual Assault to organize an It's On Us campaign to bring awareness to sexual abuse.
Calkins noted the importance of giving back. "Being involved is important. It's not for the recognition, awards, or a pat on the back. Being involved is for giving back to a community that has given you so much. At Iowa Lakes, I had so many opportunities and people that opened up doors and helped me grow as a parson that the least I could do was give back to the school and community."
Iowa Lakes head coach Katie Larson, also Calkins' student senate advisor discussed Calkins' impact over the past two seasons. "Courtney is a great choice for the Lea Plarski Award because she is an example of the many different ways that success can be achieved at a community college. I have been honored to witness her leadership skills and have enjoyed hearing from faculty and staff about her positive presence on campus. Courtney's bubbly personality, infectious smile, and kind heart have touched so many people here at Iowa Lakes and within the community.
"She has been a leader and a role model on the diamond to not only her peers, but also to every little girl in the area that has the dream to be a college athlete," Larson added. "Courtney's impact on this program, school, and community will carry on for years and I am very proud of what she has accomplished here."
A native of Osseo, MN, Calkins committed to Tennessee Wesleyan College in April to continue her softball career and will study secondary education for mathematics.
About the Lea Plarski Award
The NJCAA's Lea Plarski Award is handed out annually in the name of former NJCAA President Lea Plarski as recognition of her tremendous service to the NJCAA and two-year college athletics. The former director of athletics at St. Louis Community College/Florissant Valley, Plarski helped to establish the Women's Division of the NJCAA in 1975. She served as Vice-President for Women from 1975-1990 when she made NJCAA history as the first female ever elected to the office of President, a position she held from 1990-1996. In honor of her numerous accomplishments, as well as her undeniable dedication to the student-athlete, the NJCAA Lea Plarski Award was created. Since 1995, the award has been presented to an NJCAA student-athlete who exemplifies sportsmanship, leadership, community service, academic excellence, athletic ability and achievements – qualities that were the cornerstones of the Plarski "era".

Been experimenting for the last few days with an Imacro script of mine to see what happens when you quickly follow Pinterest users. Well the results of my experiment conclude that you can only follow 200 users on Pinterest per day in any one account. Anything after 200 will not register on your following count. There are already some fantastic free bots on the BHW forum. But i thought i would share my script and my insights on Pinterest. Script and Instructions Simply navigate to any Pinterest user by clicking on the username usually located under one of their images. Click on the followers link under their name i.e 321 followers. Then set your imacro count to 200 and run the following script in the Firefox Imacro add on: Code: VERSION BUILD=7401110 RECORDER=FX SET !ERRORIGNORE YES TAB T=1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=STRONG ATTR=TXT:Follow TAG POS=2 TYPE=STRONG ATTR=TXT:Follow WAIT SECONDS=5

New to it all?
If you're lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans and are still in the early stages of looking into adoption and fostering, we're pleased you've found us!
You will find lots of information about adoption and fostering in books, and on the internet. You can find out about the process, and the children. But what you really want to hear – what we think you need to hear – is the experience and advice of others who've gone that little bit further down the line than you.
Nobody at New Family Social will try to tell you it's easy. The process of becoming an adopter or foster carer can be unpredictable and frustrating. You'll work within a system which is under-resourced and often inefficient. If you can accept this, however, you may find the process enlightening, and even enjoyable!
Once your child moves in, you'll quickly forget most of what has gone before. That doesn't mean it'll be easy – but you'll give a home to a child who needs one. Your love, resourcefulness, resilience and sense of fun will make a difference to a child who may have had a difficult start to life.
We think that makes adoption and fostering a very positive choice for becoming a parent. There are hundreds of other LGBT people who feel the same, and who would like to share the highs and lows of the journey with you.

The NY Times has posted a number of reader responses to an "advice columnist's assertion that pretending that obesity is not a problem may prevent hurt feelings but compromise health."
In the small world department, one of those responses is from 83-year-old writer Anne Bernays, a great-niece of Sigmund Freud.
Bernays writes (emphasis mine):
The trouble began, I think, when euphemisms took the place of hard reality, such as the many ways of saying "fat" without using the actual word: "husky," "pleasingly plump," "statuesque," "big-boned," "ample" and many more.
Add to this semantic trickiness the idea that if you bring people's attention to the fact that they could look and feel much better if they dropped, say, 15 pounds, you're being offensive. You know they're overweight and so do they.
I'm one of those old-fashioned women who refuses to believe that, given the choice, a woman wouldn't rather wear a size 10 than a size 16.
I say small world because back in the early 90s, I knew Bernays. We were both sopranos in the Cambridge Chorale (now Cantilena). Bernays is from the generation before mine, so yes, she's definitely old-fashioned. And I'm sure that most women who have grown up in our Western culture (most alive today given that Twiggy was named the "Face of 1966") might rather be a size 10.
But that doesn't make it healthy or right.
See Dr. Barbara Berkeley's response for a more reasoned (IMO) opinion.

Are you hosting a Memorial Day party? I've collected some of my favorite Memorial Day Recipes to make menu planning easy for you. Click on the recipe title to see the full recipe.
Grilled Potato Salad
This is my absolute favorite way to make potatoes in the summer. If you've never grilled potatoes before you're in for a treat. I bet this becomes one of your go-to Memorial Day Recipes.
Grilled Panzanella
Salads are always a great choice for an outdoor party because they're served cold and can be made ahead. If you've got some leftover bread in the house your halfway there.
Barley Salad
Another great salad recipe for your party. The dish can be made ahead and you can vary the ingredients based on what you've got available. I could imagine using cherry tomatoes and blueberries in a barley salad. The red, white and blue colors would be perfect for the patriotic theme.
Charcoal Grilled Pizza
Why not have a pizza party for Memorial Day? You can make the dough ahead and even pre-grill the crusts. When your guests arrive just add the toppings and finish on the grill or in the oven.
Grilled Dessert Pizza
End your Memorial Day pizza party with this light dessert. Not having a pizza party? After the hot dogs and hamburgers are done cooking make dessert on the hot coals. Toss blueberries in with the strawberries and raspberries for a red, white and blue pizza. Memorial Day Recipes don't get any better than this.
Roasted Strawberry Hand Pies
A great make ahead option. If strawberries are still in season in your neck of the woods you can't go wrong with these hand pies. No utensils are needed, so they're the perfect dessert for a large crowd.
Triple Ginger Ice Cream Sandwiches
Set up a make-your-own ice cream sandwich station. The cookies and ice cream can be made days ahead so during the party all you have to do is set them out. Let everyone make their own so you don't have to.
Cheesecake Ice Cream with Cherry & Blueberry Compote
The red, white and blue colors of this dessert are perfect for a patriotic party. Make everything ahead and let your guests make their own sundaes. This is another one of my favorite Memorial Day Recipes.
Blueberry Cheesecake Tart
Another make-ahead dessert that can be adapted to the Memorial Day theme. Instead of using just blueberries, add strawberries or raspberries for a red and blue tart that will look perfect on your Memorial Day table.
Perfect Pie Dough
This is my go-to pie dough recipe for both sweet and savory pies. Fill it with whatever fruit is available in your area.

No doubt you would want to know what it is exactly that firefighters do before you invest your money, time, and energy preparing to become one. You definitely need to have an idea of what you're getting into. Regardless of what your level is, there is always something new to learn about the career you're pursuing.
Fire departments if different places have minor differences in the way they operate, and so, the duties of a firefighter in one department may differ (slightly or drastically) from those of a firefighter in another department. The work of firefighters is commonly depicted in television dramas and Hollywood, and it's not rare to see those gallant individuals seated around a table, eating and laughing at jokes, or even resting during day time. On television, firefighters are rarely portrayed as 'busy' people. However, this portrayal is very unrealistic at best. That is not the usual routine in many fire departments. Admittedly, the aforesaid television portrayal may be routine for a couple of days in some fire departments – respond to a call or wait for the next one. But many times, firefighters may be occupied with other duties when they're not responding to a call. Whether it's some housework to be done or doing some routine training to be the best they can, firefighters are always occupied.
If you're an aspiring firefighter, it would do you a lot of good to realize that there's more to a firefighter's work than merely responding to calls and lounging around the kitchen area waiting for the next emergency. It's really surprising to find some newly recruited firefighters in a department who suddenly shun responding to Band-Aid calls, or dislike responding to medical calls, or dislike public education events, or hate any other duty that may arise. It's not uncommon to hear of complaints where some firefighters don't like performing certain duties or even plead ignorance of how to go about certain tasks.
So before any prospective firefighter decides to pursue firefighting as their career, they must realize that the job entails doing things that seem out of the typical job description of a firefighter. You need the necessary skills to accomplish a range of tasks and at short notice most of the time. Fortunately, the department that takes you up will show you how to accomplish the majority of those tasks, but you'll also be expected to have a few basic skills with you acquired through experience or training.
Some experienced firefighters claim that a firefighter ought to have knowledge of about 26 trades, including plumbing, electrical engineering, and carpentry, automotive, among others. Of course, this seems unrealistic and even impossible, but firefighters are routinely called on short notice to do tasks related to other trades.
Most people tend to forget that it is firefighters that you call in the middle of the night when you're stuck and can't figure out how to accomplish something and the repair shop is closed. And in most cases, firefighters will stop the problem at the very least and then direct you to the relevant contact that will solve the problem completely.
So by now, you should have figured out that a firefighter's job is not just about putting out fires and rescuing people from danger, but it entails helping out with almost any difficulties that people face in their everyday lives. Firefighters serve the community and country at large by making a difference in people's lives, besides the mandatory rescue missions that are the core of their work. If you want to make it a worthwhile career, be ready to embrace the challenges that the firefighting job presents, otherwise you'll end up unhappy and frustrated.

To be a Pilgrim
"To be a Pilgrim" is a pilgrim's guide to the ancient Parish Church of St Nicholas of Myra, the Mother Church or Brighton. By following this 16-page A5 booklet you will take a guided tour of the church from the south door following a route suggested by the guide, stopping off at 11 stations round the church before bringing you back. At each stop there is a full description of the place upon which you are standing, followed by an appropriate reading and a prayer.
The guide is written by Fr Robert Chavner, Vicar of St Nicholas' and is meant to be a guide to praying in this sacred space, but it is no more than a guide — do not worry if you find yourself praying something else or nothing at all.
