Awesome! I did my sample prep for the synchrotron today and the samples turned out great. I was a little worried because I don't have time to make more samples if these ones didn't turn out, but they did. Now lets just hope they have lots of carbon in them.

Now for the bad news, but not really. I got a message from IKEA saying that they cancelled my order because the pieces I ordered weren't in the 2005 catalog. Hello! What year is it? I guess I'll just have to wait a month or two for the Phoenix IKEA to open. Stupid IKEA. If I was able to order it online, they should be able to sell it to me.
