FACE BONDING MACHINE This is a continuation of Ser. No. 798,657 filed Feb. 12, 1969, now abandoned.
BACKGROUND This invention relates to a bonding machine and a bonding method, and more particularly to a machine utilizing mechanical nesting of the die to effect the critical registration of mating die electrodes to substrate leads.
Heretofore, bonding machines which have bonded a die having a plurality of electrodes or pads thereon to a substrate having a plurality of leads have aligned or registered the die by optical means. Optical means have been employed to enable the operator to see the electrodes, since the die is upside down and the electrode pads are on the side of the die opposite the operator. One widely used optical method involves aligning the substrate to a given position by the use of a cross hair on an optical device and then aligning the die to another given position by means of the cross hair. The die and the substrate are spread apart while this optical alignment is being made and they are spread apart after the alignment has been completed. Then the die and the electrode are brought together, hopefully, in the same alignment. Another optical method involves a beam splitter which allows one to look at both the die and the substrate simultaneously. The parts are moved until they are in proper alignment and then the die is lowered until it comes in contact with the substrate. Both of the optical methods described above involve alignment of the die and the substrate while they are spread apart and assumes that the alignment does not change as a result of the die and the substrate being brought together.
It is a basic object of this invention to provide an improved bonding machine. It is another object of this ina die directly on a substrate and for bonding a die to a substrate having a plurality of leads.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description, reference being made to the accompanying drawings wherein a preferred embodiment of this invention is shown.
IN THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a side view of the bonding machine partly in cross section and partly in elevation showing the relative position of the locating pin members to the frame member which is to be bonded.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the machine as described in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of the bonding machine partly in crosssection and partly in elevation showing the relative position of the die receptacle to the bonding anvil.
FIG. 4 is a top view of the machine as described in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a side view of a bonding machine partly in cross section and partly in elevation showing the position of the bonding needle and the die receptacle during the bonding cycle.
FIG. 6 is a top view of the machine as described in FIG. 5.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the bonding machine 10 comprises the substantially flat support surface 12 which provides support for substantially flat substrates such as a metal frame member 14. The
vention to provide a machine which registers the mat ing die electrodes directly on top of the substrate leads. It is yet another object of this invention to provide an improved method of bonding which includes mechanically orienting a die to amating substrate. It is a further object of this invention to provide a bonding machine having a bonding anvil and a bonding needle which are substantially co-planar.
These and other objects are accomplished by a bonding machine in which the critical registration of the die to the substrate is accomplished mechanically by the use of a tongue structure or receptacle positioned directly above the substrate which properly aligns the die electrode pads directly on top of the substrate leads in the desired position. The bonding machine has a substantially flat support surface for supporting a substantially flat substrate such as a metal frame member having a plurality of inwardly extending lead portions. A portion of the support surface serves as a bottom anvil under bonding conditions. There are two locating pin members which protrude or extend through the support surface which are designed to locate and position the substrate and its lead portions in a specific position on the bottom anvil. The machine has a bonding needle directly above the bottom anvil which is adapted for vertical movement so that during the bonding cycle the end of the needle and the face of the bottom anvil are substantially co-planar. This bonding machine provides a high speed reliable method for accurately positioning machine has a lower bonding anvil 16 having a portion 18 which provides support for the frame member lead portions 20 and the die (not shown). Machine locating pin members 22 extend through the support surface 12 and through the frame member indexing holes 24 thereby positioning the metal frame member 14 and the lead portions 20 in a specific position or location on the bonding anvil portion 18. The locating pin members 22 are adapted for vertical movement so as to be able to withdraw from the surface 12 andout of the frame opening 24 after the bonding cycle has been completed. In the preferred embodiment the locating pin members move upward out of the supporting surface 12. This invention is not limited thereto.
A die receiving receptacle 26 has a rectangular shaped slot 27 formed by walls 28. The size of the slot 27 accommodates a die which is accurately positioned therein. The receptacle 27 is positioned a distance away from the frame member supporting surface while the frame member 14 is being positioned by means of locating pin members 22.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the die receiving receptacle 26 is moved manually to a given position directly above the lower bonding anvil portion 18 so that the walls 28 of the slot 27 encircle the frame member lead portions 20. After the die receiving receptacle 26 is in proper position above the frame member lead portions 20, a die 30 is placed into the slot 27. The die 30 has a plurality of electrodes or pads 32 thereon, for example, 12 or 14 electrodes all on one side of the die. The die 30 is placed into the slot 27 so that the electrodes 32 face the lead portions 20. In other words, the die is placed upside down as is the standard practice in the flip-chip bonding process art. The walls 28 of the slot 27 have an upper wall portion 29 which are tapered to permit the slot 27 to accommodate dice having irregular edges due to scribe cutting. The receptacle walls 28 have a lower portion 34 which is substantially vertical. The slot 27 formed by wall portions 34 is designed to accommodate the die edges which were cut by the scribe which are accurate'and predictable. Since the die edges which are cut by the scribe are relatively precise, the wall portions 34 accurately and precisely locate the die and the corresponding electrodes 32 in a given position with certain tolerances that are determined by the design of the substrate lead portions and the die electrodes to produce an overall acceptable yield. The wall portion 34 forms the slot 27 which locates the die in a specific position so that the electrode pads 32 are in physical contact with frame member lead portions 20. The die receptacle 26 effects a critical registration of the mating parts simply and efficiently.
As shown in FIGS. and 6, the bonding needle 36 is moved vertically downward so that the end 38 is positioned directly on top of die 30 thereby firmly holding the die 30 to lead portions and bonding anvil 18.
The locating pins 22 continue to retain the lead frame 14 and the lead portions 20 in the specified position while at the same time bonding needle 36 maintains the die in the same specified position that the die receptacle 26 had located it. After the bonding needle has made a firm and retaining contact with the die, the die receptacle 26 is moved horizontally away from the die and the frame member. This step is optional although in the preferred embodiment this step is included since improved bonding results were obtained thereby.
The die bonding machine is then energized in the conventional manner and the die electrodes are ultrasonically bonded to the lead portions of the frame member. The bonding needle 38 is adapted for vertical movement preferably in order to have the bonding needle 38 substantially co-planar with the bonding anvil portion surface 18. The needle and the bonding anvil are separated by the die, and lead portions thereby being substantially co-planar. The advantage of the vertical movement of the bonding needle is that the coplanar characteristics are substantially increased in contrast to the bonding needles normally used in optical means which utilize pivotal mountings.
The bonding machine described in this invention has a number of advantages. One primary advantage is that the die is aligned directly onto the substrate lead portions by mechanical means thereby eliminating the possibility of misalignment of the type that is possible in the optical means when the die and lead portions are aligned while they are spaced apart and then brought together. This positive alignment or registration of mating die electrodes to a plurality of lead portions has advantages over prior art methods since it permits a high speed reliable method for registration for face or multiple lead bonding which requires extreme co-planarity. The tongue or die receiving receptacle feature of the machine eliminates the use of a microscope in making the critical registration of the die electrodes and the leads. This is an advantage since it eliminates the time required by the operator to focus the microscope and it also eliminates the rejects due to improper focusing by the operator. This feature permits registration with the use of normal vision. The operation of this machine is simple and avoids the use of expensive optical devices for registration.
While the invention has been described in terms of a specific embodiment the scope of the invention is defined in the following claims.

I think my food choices have allowed me to eat more but stay within my calorie target. One thing I noticed is that my potassium intake one day was over 5000! Most of that was from eating 2 cups of beet greens. Perhaps next time I should eat only 1 cup for a serving of those. I also am surprised how much potassium is in cucumbers. I usually can eat 2 a day of those but yesterday at lunch I lost my appetite for them and actually threw away half of a cucumber cause it just didn't "hit the spot" as usual. (I also noticed it was a bit too ripe with lots of big seeds in it. Guess I prefer the young ones.)
Anyhow, today will be a short day at work (only 5 hours) due to going to work late in order to swim in the therapy pool before work and leaving work early to go to physical therapy. Overall, my pain level is getting better, but I still need to work on strenthening the muscles around the knees. My gait is not very good yet and I feel off balance when I walk and I walk quite slowly due to discomfort and/or weakness. I guess I will need to talk to the therapist about these issues. Hope everybody has a great day. I went to bed early last night and so when it was time to get up it wasn't such a struggle. I think I got about 8 hours of good sleep. I will go to bed early tonight again and hope to have a repeat of that.
I am having a snack and snitching some of my tasty lunch. I sort of followed a recipe on SparkRecipes.com but didn't have all the ingredients. It is very tasty.
Overall, I feel rested and knees are not quite so stiff. There was some local flooding so I should leave a little early to be sure I am not late for work.
I hope to swim in the outdoor pool today at the gym after work. The forecast is 93 about the time I expect to get there.
Hubby and I voted in the primary and the one I voted for has been declared the the winner for the candidate for MN governor. Minnesota has not had a Democratic governor for 12 years. Hope they break that record this year.
I don't have to leave the house until 5:30 so I decided getting up at 4:30 would be enough time to get ready. All I have to do is Spark, have coffee and breakfast, vitamins, brush teeth, get dressed...hey, it's already 5:00... gotta run!!!!
I hated getting up this morning when the alarm went off at 4:59 a.m. I did 5 minutes of bed exercises before the alarm went off and I think that helped my general overall achiness.
If I am to get in 10 minutes on the recumbent bike I had better hurry up and get the sparking out of the way.
Hope everybody gets rid of the Monday morning blues .....

#Yatsenyuk calls for de-escalation while #NATO notes further buildup of troops in hungry east

Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk urged Russia to restart talks on de-escalation of war in eastern Ukraine. "We are inviting Russia to serious talks in some neutral territory. The United States and European Union countries are helping us in that," Yatsenyuk said after meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg in Kyiv.
Yatsenyuk's remarks came as NATO noted a further buildup of Russian or Russian-led troops both on Ukraine's territory and across the eastern border in Russia, despite a cease-fire agreement signed in September.
"This is a serious military buildup and we call on Russia to pull back its troops," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg was quoted by Reuters as saying.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who visited Kyiv on the same day to meet with the president and the prime minister, also remarked about an increase of tensions in Ukraine, and said the European Commission might arrange an international conference on economic assistance to Ukraine early next year.
"It's most likely that the European Commission will arrange a special conference early next year to introduce economic stability in Ukraine," Steinmeier said.
Ukraine's industrial output declined by 9.4 between January and October, the nation's statistical agency reported on the same day. Ukraine's financial needs are estimated to be several fold over the $17 billion earmarked by the International Monetary Fund, and growing amid the Russia-sponsored war.
Russia has consistently denied accusations by western leaders of meddling in Ukraine's affairs, insisting that such accusations are "hot air."Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged the Ukrainian authorities to "immediately enter an all-encompassing internal Ukrainian dialog with participation of all the regions, and fulfillment of the Minsk agreements."
The Sept. 5 Minsk agreements and follow-up protocol, signed by the Ukrainian authorities, as well as representatives of the Russian Federation, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and separatist leaders from Donetsk and Luhansk regions, laid the foundation for de-escalation of war in the east of Ukraine.
The sides agreed to move troops away from the front line to create a war-free buffer zone between the separatist-controlled parts of the territory and the rest of Ukraine. The central government agreed to give a broader autonomy to the secessionist regions in exchange for a promise to hold local elections there under the Ukrainian law in December.
However, the self-proclaimed governments of Luhansk and Donetsk regions held illegal local elections on Nov. 2, and the central government cut all budget payments to the regions as a result.
Lavrov on Tuesday condemned the move. "Unfortunately, instead of establishing lasting contacts with those who do not accept the result of the military coup, Kyiv took a course towards the social and economic worsening of the east, and threatens to renew the forceful solution of the conflict," ITAR-TASS agency quoted Lavrov as saying.
A hunger riot in Yenakiyeve, says the caption in this Youtube video.
In the meantime, local media in Luhansk and Donetsk regions reported growing unrest in the regions, where people are running out of both cash and food. Dozens of people in Yenakieve, Donetsk Oblast, came to the mayor to demand social payments and food. Similar incidents have been reported in Torez and Makiyivka.
In Luhansk Oblast, commandant of the town of Chervonopartyzansk told the local site 05366.com.ua that the town no longer reports to the self-proclaimed authorities of the Luhansk People's Republic.
"We have differences with the leadership of the LNR (Luhansk People's Republic). We do not report to either them, or Novorossiya," Denys Ponyzovy was quoted by the website as saying.
The website also noted that at least five townships in Luhansk region are talking about an autonomy and are unhappy with the self-proclaimed Luhansk leadership.
U.S. Arming #ISIS – Iraqi intelligence report

Esther Tanquintic-Misa, International Business Times | World.
An Iraqi intelligence report cited by Fars News has disclosed the radical and blood-hungry ISIS militants have been receiving arms and food support dropped by aircraft from the United States. The cargoes were allegedly dropped under the guise of air raids.
The report's disclosure came after Iraqi security sources uncovered a large ISIS weapons cache in west Baghdad over the weekend. Portal Al-Shorfa.com, quoting Brig Gen Saad Maan, spokesman of the Iraqi Interior Ministry, reported the loot, found in an ISIL cell active in the capital, was made up of "about 500 kilogrammes of explosives, light and medium weapons, ISIL black flags, communications devices and improvised explosive devices (IEDs)."
Upon closure inspection, Iraqi forces said the weapons were much too "state-of-the-art," prompting theories the weapons can only come from the U.S. Each of the bullets were believed to cost $2,000, Fars News said, noting the bullets "pierce armored vehicles and kill the people inside the vehicle."
"What is important is that the U.S. sends these weapons to only those that cooperate with the Pentagon and this indicates that the US plays a role in arming the ISIL," an Iraqi security source told FNA. The crisis in Iraq escalated when the ISIS captured Mosul on June 10. This was followed by the fall of Tikrit, some 140 kilometres (87 miles) north west of Baghdad.
Since then, Iraqi soldiers as well as volunteer forces have joined in the fight to ward off the ISIS from further entering Iraq. Both forces have been engaged in heavy fighting with the militants. They have so far managed to push back the ISIS in several areas.
This follows the pronouncement of U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel over the weekend that the Pentagon will rush training Iraqi forces to combat the militant ISIS. The mission will use troops already in Iraq.
And just on Monday, the U.S. has approved selling additional military weapons to Iraq. According to portal worldtribune.com, the military weapons sale request involved air weapons as well as spare parts for artillery and trucks, amounting to nearly $700 million.

#Russia Moves to Send North Korean #Refugees Back Home to Uncertain Fate
A North Korean flag flutters on top of a tower at the propaganda village of Gijungdong in North Korea, in this picture taken near the truce village of Panmunjom on Nov. 12, 2014. Kim Hong-Ji / Reuters.
Alexey Eremenko, for The Moscow Times.
A new governmental agreement drafted by Russia and North Korea will see Moscow hand over Koreans who have fled the totalitarian regime in their native country.
The deal comes at a time when Russia is strengthening ties with the isolationist leadership in Pyongyang, apparently to snub the United States, said Andrei Lankov, a leading Russian expert on Korea.
The agreement may yet prove to be a formality, experts said — but Russia has handed over escaped North Koreans before.
Russia has similar agreements with many countries and blocs, including Ukraine and the EU. But the North Korean deal stands out because the UN has explicitly advised against the forcible repatriation of North Koreans, who face jail and even execution for fleeing the motherland.
The agreement, available on the Russian government's website, outlines expulsion rules and procedures for illegal immigrants from North Korea, whose leadership has been accused by the UN of crimes against humanity.
The same rules would apply to Russians illegally entering the far eastern state, though experts polled for this story could not recall a single such instance.
The draft is dated Sept. 2, but has so far flown under the media radar. The text says the deal is to be finalized by the Federal Migration Service, which did not return a request for comment sent Thursday. Nor did the government's press office.
A Trickle of Refugees
Experts estimated in the mid-2000s that at least 10,000 North Koreans were arriving every year to work in Russia, which has a 19-kilometer border with their country.
That figure, however, only includes those who arrived in Russia legally. Most are working migrants employed in the logging and construction industries.
Illegal migrants from North Korea number several hundred: only a fraction of the estimated 300,000-strong community in China, their main destination, said Lyubov Tatarets of rights group Memorial.
Tatarets, based in the far eastern city of Khabarovsk, provides legal help to North Koreans educated enough to know how to request asylum — who she said number only a small proportion of the refugees.
"Most stay undercover and live here for years," she said by telephone Thursday.
But the North Korean refugees arriving are increasingly better educated than commonly believed, and know to seek legal help, said Korea scholar Lankov, who teaches at Kookmin University in Seoul.
Russia has an agreement on illegal immigrants with North Korea, but it dates back to the 1950s, said Yelena Burtina of migrant rights group Civil Assistance.
Moscow appears to have no cohesive governmental policy on North Korean asylum seekers as yet, experts agreed. Migration authorities have expelled some and allowed others to stay, or at least safely leave for third countries, though no statistics are available.
In a fresh court case this week, Memorial succeeded in getting the decision overturned of the Federal Migration Service to deny asylum to a North Korean refugee, identified only as Kim, who has fled North Korea twice.
During the famine of 1997, Kim escaped to China, but later tried to move to Russia, fearing extradition, according to Memorial. However, he was relying on an old map that still depicted the Soviet Union instead of Russia, and so ended up at the border of Kazakhstan, which repatriated him. He was one of the few survivors of a mass breakout from a labor camp last year, and managed to get to Russia — where he was arrested and initially denied asylum.
Russian authorities may be afraid of granting asylum to North Korean refugees en masse in case word gets back to Pyongyang that it is doing so, Tatarets said.
A Milder Crime
Official Pyongyang has recently launched a crackdown on runaways, disgruntled that its supposedly loyal citizens are ready to bolt the country at the earliest opportunity, Lankov said.
The new draft agreement does not stipulate the immediate expulsion of illegal immigrants: That is only to be done at the request of the country hosting the immigrant. This means it may just be a technical document, experts said.
Penalties for fleeing North Korea are much softer than they used to be, Lankov said. While two decades ago, illegal emigration meant the firing squad, now it is more likely to be a moderate beating and up to a year in prison, unless the failed escapee publicly criticized the regime.
But extradition to North Korea was nevertheless decried by a special report of the UN Human Rights Council earlier this year.
"Extradition to North Korea is a crime, pure and simple," said Burtina of Memorial.
Teasing Goliath
Moscow and Pyongyang, geopolitical allies from Soviet times, have made moves to strengthen their alliance in recent months.
In May, Russia finally wrote off most of North Korea's Soviet-era debt. The following month, Pyongyang said it would loosen visa regulations for Russian investors and even allow them uncensored access to the Internet. And last month, the two countries sealed a $25 billion deal on modernizing 3,000 kilometers of North Korean railroads over the next 20 years.
The alliance is Russia's indirect retribution for U.S. sanctions over Moscow's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea in March and alleged meddling in the Ukrainian civil war, Lankov said.
"Moscow is showing the U.S. that it can create problems for it elsewhere in the world if pressure persists," the expert said.
"It's also a bit of an emotional reaction, backing a staunch anti-American David against Goliath," Lankov said. "Though to be fair, Pyongyang is actually much more pragmatic than they think in Moscow."
#Ukraine: Weak and meek
Even as Russia shores up its illegitimate proxies in eastern Ukraine with weapons and troops, the West continues to behave spinelessly.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel discounted the possibility of further economic sanctions against Russia, opting instead to float the lame likelihood of individual visa bans and asset freezes against separatist leaders in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. As the foremost leader of the 28-nation European Union bloc, Merkel's unwillingness to more strongly confront Russia is disappointing. But abhorrent is the active opposition to more sanctions of such politicians as Hungary's prime minister and the Czech Republic president. The United States, whose Congress is now in Republican hands, remains the best hope for Ukraine getting military aid and additional economic assistance.
The Russian assault on Ukraine is an assault on the international rule of law and the post-World War II order. It's time to stop Vladimir Putin now. He is emboldened by the West's weak response to his theft of Crimea and his attempts to dismember Ukraine.
The separatists destroying the infrastructure in Ukraine's eastern Donbas have no lofty principles to uphold and don't offer residents in Ukraine's two most populous oblasts a better way of living. Rather, the violence and destruction is designed to bring Ukraine's government in Kyiv to knuckle under to Putin's imperial ambitions. Putin doesn't want to absorb these territories, home to more than six million Ukrainian citizens before the war, into the Russian Federation. He just wants to wreak havoc and stoke fear.
The fact that Russia's economy is tanking is testament to the fall in world oil and gas prices. To the extent the West is coordinating and assisting the drop in prices, its leaders are to be commended. But the drop looks to be more driven by the global economic slowdown and Saudi Arabia's desire to undercut American competition.
The goal of Western sanctions has been to change Putin's behavior. He remains undeterred. So further sanctions are essential, including a steep tax on Russian energy imports. Putin's Russia should not be the venue for any international events. Crushing Putin's economy is the fastest way to stop Putinism, bringing Russians closer to peace and prosperity.
'Ideology Wouldn't Die' for #ISIS, Even If Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Did
Erin McClam, for NBC News.
It's still not clear whether Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, was hit over the weekend by an airstrike in Iraq. But the uncertainty raises a question: What would the militant organization look like without its savvy, shadowy man in charge?
There are logical candidates to succeed him — Baghdadi has enough deputies, commanders and advisers to fill a flow chart — and ISIS has a clear, methodical process for choosing a replacement.
But analysts who have studied ISIS stress that they do not expect any change in the organization's land-hungry, bloodthirsty plans when and if Baghdadi is killed or incapacitated.
In fact, because he will be replacing Baghdadi, who has military bona fides and has nurtured a cult of personality at the top of ISIS, the next leader may try to prove his mettle by being even more expansionist and ruthless.
"He needs to show that he's capable of leading from Day 1," said Laith Alkhouri, the director of Middle East and North Africa research for Flashpoint Intelligence, which studies and consults on global security.
The United States has not confirmed that Baghdadi, who has led ISIS since 2010, was wounded in any airstrike. The Iraqi defense and interior ministries both put out statements Sunday saying that he had been hit. But the analysts pointed out that the Iraqi government has a spotty record when it comes to reporting the deaths of militants, and they also raised the possibility that Iraq is trying to goad ISIS into proving Baghdadi is alive, perhaps providing hints to his whereabouts.
If Baghdadi were taken out, analysts say they believe it would take a week or two for ISIS to choose a successor.
That would fall to the Shura Council, a collection of eight to 11 people who advise the caliph, the title Baghdadi has given himself. The Shura Council focuses on security and battlefield operations and would want someone with strong military experience.
But the next leader would also need the approval of the Sharia Council, in charge of evaluating religious credentials — not just swearing allegiances but studying under the appropriate radical scholars. Baghdadi has a Ph.D. in Islamic studies.
"You have to be extremely devout, in the footsteps of Baghdadi," Alkhouri said. "You have to have the religious and the military. You have to show how powerful you are on the battlefield, just as how powerful you are in an audio message."
The hours and days after Baghdadi's death would be critical, said Charlie Winter, a researcher for Quilliam, a research and policy organization in London that studies extremists organizations.
If the leaders of the organization couldn't coalesce around a successor, it could complicate the advancement of ISIS, leaving it open to chaos and infighting among the groups within, which have differing goals and allegiances, he said.
Baghdadi is "the ideological glue to what is a highly decentralized movement," Winter said. "Because he is this charismatic figure, this legitimate figure, knowledgeable in Islam and military tactics, his presence kind of keeps a lid on what could become a number of different groups within Islamic State fighting each other."
For that reason, ISIS, which has demonstrated a command of social media and a flair for highly produced video, might not announce Baghdadi's death until his successor is already in place.
Among the candidates mentioned by analysts is Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, the top spokesman for ISIS, who is considered a right-hand man to Baghdadi and who stood up to Ayman al-Zawahri, the leader of al Qaeda, before al Qaeda cut ties to ISIS.
Adnani is believed to be in his mid-30s, which makes him younger than most of the Shura Council, and he is Syrian, while the council is dominated by Iraqis. ISIS began in Iraq before expanding to Syria in the chaos of the civil war there.
Other candidates are Abu Ahmad al-Alwani, the head of the ISIS military council, and Abu Ali al-Anbari, a former Iraqi intelligence officer who heads the security council, Alkhouri said.
The head of the Shura Council, Abu Arkan al-Ameri, could also be up for the job, as could Abu Suleiman al-Naser, a former ISIS war minister who almost never appears in public. He was rumored killed in 2011.
And the vast majority of the broader ISIS leadership is still unknown, so the next man in charge could be someone even the analysts have never heard of. But Winter said he expected the next leader to pick up where Baghdadi leaves off.
"That's the kind of thing you have to earn over time," he said. "But the ideology wouldn't die with him."

I just ripped out some old carpet, and discovered that the old pad has been glued to the cement subfloor in three long, 2-foot wide swaths. I used a putty knife to loosen and remove most of the pad, but there is still a lot of the foam embedded in the glue. What can I do to get it all up? I have to clean and seal the subfloor before placing new carpet down due to prior owner's incontinent dog. Also, any recommendations on how to get rid of urine odor? It still reeks an unbelievable amount. Was planning to just use bleach water but had someone suggest a product called Odor Ban or something - said I can find it at Sam's Club. Thanks!

- Flooring & Stairs >
- Carpet pad glued to subfloor
you need a floor scraper,cost about $6.00 from home depot.(make sure the blade is in the correct way, its often sold with the blade in backwards)while you are there pick up a gal of kilz (kills) primer sealer and paint that on the cement after you finish with the scraping....good luck
You can easily do your job removingthe foam and adhesive using PEEL AWAY 5 paint remover. Visit the web site at www.peelaway.com
Thank you, Carpetman and Hy. I decided to try to "dry scrape" first and use Peel Away if that didn't work. Used a lot of elbow grease but was successful with the scraper bought at Home Depot. I cleaned with Oda-Ban bought at Sam's Club, but still smelled a faint urine odor. I purchased a product similar to Kilz made by Zansser called BIN and applied it to the floor. This seems to have done the trick. I am quite relieved, so thanks for your help. One last question: I will probably encounter similar issues to a lesser extent upstairs with a plywood subfloor under the carpet. I would like to replace with hardwood floor - should I try to clean and seal the plywood subfloor or have new plywood put in?
Just discovered the upstairs subfloor is particle board, not plywood. Still OK to use BIN to seal? Also, was planning to install hardwood, but have been told I can't over particle board subfloor. Considering laminate now, is there any comprehensive comparison around about the vast array of brands, installation choices, price comparisons, etc?
the sealer will work on the p-board....why not use a hardwood floating floor,take a good look at "coastal woodlands" by bruce at your local home depot....this is a very easy d.i.y. project,also when you concider the nail on 3/4" solid wood floor sit's on top of the tounge,the floor is about as thick.
if you choose laminate, all of the major brands are about equal if you are in the $3.00/4.00 price range,home depot carrys one called hamilton (by shaw)at $2.49 or $1.99 if its on sale.....good luck

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Investigators say the man suspected of killing a University of Kansas student last week drove nearly 23 hours to New
Jersey - arriving before Jana Mackey's body was found.
They also say Adolfo Garcia-Nunez's teenaged son and daughter were with him, but were not involved in Mackey's killing.
She was found dead at the home of Garcia-Nunez, her ex-boyfriend.
Police believe Mackey was killed between 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, when
she was last seen in class, and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, when Garcia-Nunez was seen at a Lawrence convenience store before driving to New Jersey.
Mackey was reported missing around 4:30 pm Thursday. Her car was found a couple hours later, in a parking lot at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Her body was found around 11:30 pm Thursday, inside Garcia-Nunez' home.
Authorities captured Garcia-Nunez in New Jersey over the weekend. He committed suicide in police custody.

UPDATE 1-India's L&T Q2 beats forecast, order inflows up 30 pct
* Q2 recurring net 9.15 bln rupees vs net estimate of 8.76 bln
* Order inflows jump 30 pct during Sept quarter
* L&T shares up 2.2 pct in slightly higher Mumbai market (Adds details of results, share movement)
MUMBAI, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Larsen & Toubro, India's top construction and engineering company, beat estimates on Monday with a 15 percent rise in September quarter net profit as it completed more projects, and said new orders rose 30 percent from a year ago.
The Mumbai-based company said recurring net profit rose to 9.15 billion rupees ($170.4 million) during the second quarter of the fiscal year from 7.98 billion rupees a year earlier.
The company also reported one-time gains on account of a stake sale in a subsidiary and reversal of provision in relation to the stake it earlier held in Mahindra Satyam. Including the one-time gains, L&T's net profit was 11.37 billion rupees.
Sales rose 17.3 percent to 131.95 billion rupees.
The market had forecast a net profit of 8.76 billion rupees, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Larsen's order book, which is an indication of its outlook, stood at 1.58 trillion rupees at the end of September. L&T said it won new orders worth 209.67 billion rupees in July-September, up 30 percent from year ago.
The company forecast in May a 15-20 percent growth both in revenue and orders during the current fiscal year ending March 2013.
India's economic growth languished at 5.5 percent in the quarter to June, near its slowest in three years, as a sense of policy inertia stifled corporate sentiment, curbed capital expenditures and delayed big-ticket projects.
The country's industrial output fell 0.2 percent in July and rose 2.7 percent in August.
Larsen is focusing on ramping up overseas growth, particularly in the Middle East, Brazil and Turkey, looking to offset the slowdown at home and aiming for foreign markets to account for 25 percent of revenue by 2016.
Shares in the company, valued by the market at $18.7 billion, were trading 2.2 percent higher after the results, in a Mumbai market that was up 0.5 percent. ($1= 53.69 rupees) (Reporting by Henry Foy, Writing by Prashant Mehra; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman)

A lip smacking Schezwan Vegetable is a perfect blend of sweet, spicy and sour flavors, one of the best Indo chinese recipe it is. The recipe is partly adapted from Nita Mehta Recipes, and partly inspired by the flavors that I can recall from the dish that we tasted at a Chinese Bistro . The spiciness of chillies is perfectly balanced with the tartness of tomatoes and vinegar and subtle sweetness provided by honey. We loved it with the Veg. Fried rice and fried noodles (Noodles parboiled and fried till golden brown) that added a nice crunch to the wholesome meal.
Vegetable stock is a crucial ingredient in all Chinese dishes or else the end result will turn to be a bland or with unbalanced flavors. Do not skip the veg. stock or try to substitute it with Veg. stock cubes available in market. Make your own stock, I insist
For vegetable stock:
- Cauliflower chopped ½ cup
- Cabbage chunks ¼ cup
- Carrot chopped 1
- French Beans 3 chopped
- Fresh button mushrooms 3 , chopped
- Cloves (Laung) 2
- Onion diced 1 small
- Spinach leaves 2-3
- Water 4 cups
- Garlic cloves peeled 2
- Oil 1tsp
Vegetables needed for Schezwan Veg.
- Carrot 1
- Broccoli 3-4 florets (Do NOT use cauliflower if Broccoli is not available. Just Skip it)
- French Beans 8
- Onion 1
- Baby corns 4
- Zucchini (or Cucumber if Zucchini is not available) 1
- Spinach leaves 5-6
- Tomato 1 large
- Capsicum 1
Ingredients for the Sauce:
- Ginger ½ inch crushed
- Garlic 4 -5 cloves Crushed/grated
- Hoisin Sauce 1 tsp (Optional)
- Chinese Schezwan/ Red / green chili sauce 2 tsp OR Use red chili powder 1/2 tsp and 1 chopped green chilly and 1 dried red chilly
- 2 tsp Soya sauce
- Vinegar 1 ½ tsp
- Honey ( More or less) 11/2 tsp
- Tomato Ketchup 1tbsp
- Salt as per taste
- Black or white pepper powder ¼ tsp
- Water 1/2 cup
Other Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Oil
- Corn flour 2 heaped Tbsp (More or less) mixed with 1/4 cup water
- Scallions or Spring onion to garnish
- Veg Fried rice or Fried noodles to serve with.
- To make Vegetable Sauce, rinse well and chop the vegetables.
- Take 1tsp oil in a pan and saute the cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, carrot, french beans and mushrooms for a minute. Add garlic, laung and 4 cups of water and let it boil. Simmer till water is reduced to half. Alternatively you can use pressure cooker to speed up the process. Strain and reserve the liquid.This is our 2 cups of vegetable stock.
- For Schezwan/Sichuan Vegetable, peel and slice the carrots. Separate the broccoli florets, chop the french beans in slants of 1 inch . Cut the babycorns, tip off the thick stems of spinach, dice the capsicum, slice the zucchini along with skin, peel and cut the onion into quarters, and then halve each of the quarter further. Chop the tomato too.
- Take a bowl and mix all the ingredients listed under 'Ingredients For Sauce'.
- Now in a wok or thick bottomed pan, take 2 tbsp of oil and heat it. Add onions and saute till translucent. Add broccoli, carrots, French beans and babycorn and cook for two minutes on high flame. Add a pinch of salt or so.
- Just toss Zucchini or cucumber and Capsicum and immediately add sauce that you have mixed in the bowl.
- Add the vegetable stock and mix everything gently. Add the cornflour paste ( that you have made by mixing cornflour with water). Let the mixture comes to a boil. Simmer for a while till the gravy thickens. Taste at this stage to adjust salt and seasonings.Since there is enough salt in different sauces used, its better to add salt in final stages. You can add more cornflour paste if the gravy looks thinner even after 2 minutes or so. Do not overcook.
- Garnish with chopped scallions or spring onions and serve with either Veg fried rice or Noodles. (Hakka Noodles or Fried noodles).

Wuthering Heights
By Emily Bronte; Diane Johnson (Introduction by)

Introduction by Diane Johnson
Commentary by George Henry Lewes, Virginia Woolf, and E. M. Forster
Wuthering Heights, first published in 1847, the year before the author's death at the age of thirty, endures today as perhaps the most powerful and intensely original novel in the English language. The epic story of Catherine and Heathcliff plays out against the dramatic backdrop of the wild English moors, and presents an astonishing metaphysical vision of fate and obsession, passion and revenge. "Only Emily Brontë," V. S. Pritchett said, "exposes her imagination to the dark spirit." And Virginia Woolf wrote, "Hers . . . is the rarest of all powers. She could free life from its dependence on facts . . . by speaking of the moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar." This edition also includes Charlotte Brontë's original Introduction.
Diane Johnson is the author of many books, including the bestselling novel Le Divorce, which was a 1997 National Book Award finalist. She divides her time between San Francisco and Paris.
"It is as if Emily Brontë could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they
transcend reality."
--Virginia Woolf

Open Your Eyes (A Fantasy Story)
Warning: Contains adult material, only for mature audiences.
Prepare to read the confessions of an angry woman. Sometimes releasing all your anger is therapeutic. Bottling it up inside is no good. A non-fictional story about a hopeless woman who vents her frustrations of not being able to easily see the one she wants to be with because he is 8+ hours away. She has too much free time on her hands to think about things and writes them down from her dreams. This is her escape from reality.
**Looks like I had to post the first chapter last in order for things to be read in the correct sequence at its own tab.
This series is officially completed. [A different series from my "A Restless Pursuit."]
**Can be read here at Word Press: http://thelostxin.com/category/open-your-eyes-a-fantasy-story/
**Also available on my Watt Pad: http://www.wattpad.com/story/14154150-open-your-eyes-a-fantasy-story
A Fantasy I'd Rather not Happen in Reality!
A few posts ago, I talked about Jake who goes to Texas A & M that I had met on Omegle weeks ago. After he had done something extremely rude, I figured he wouldn't message me again, especially when I didn't seem interested at all. When he kept prying me to show him things I would not. I mean, don't get me wrong, the dude was attractive, I just wasn't into him. He didn't want to have conversations about life. He just wanted to get to the good stuff and that honestly does not turn me on at all. I like to talk for a while, and have meaningful conversations, then if the time is right, sexy things might happen.
Jake messaged me on kik asking if we could skype later and he said I should stick a banana in my pussy for him to watch.
I'm thinking, is this dude serious?
I literally said, "lol, no."
After that he asked me if I had a dildo [also said no to that].
Then he said, "a remote control."
At this point I'm for real laughing my fucking ass off like no tomorrow. Is this supposed to be sexy talk or something?
He was for serious. Oh, lord. Why me? Why was I not blessed to have a smooth sailing love life?
All I've ever been was as decent of a person as I can be and to whomever decides I'm worth it to try to work things out with no matter the distance or whatever obstacles in the way will find that in an instant. He will be rewarded with a respectable and faithful spouse. And when he does, I hope he takes good care of a diamond.
Smart guys know what they have when they have it, dumb guys throw a good thing away [this applies to women, also.]
Night Time Tease
Night Time Tease
Some nights, she imagines herself being touched in every which way. Other nights, she'll be so busy she won't care for some play time. She doesn't know what to do when she can't talk to the one that makes her go wild and aching for his touch. Other people do nothing for her so she doesn't waste her own time talking to someone else. Only he can please her in the best way ever. No one before him has truly cared to satisfy her. They've only thought for themselves. He cares to please her just as she cares to please him.
Whenever she gets lost in her thoughts, she closes her eyes in bed at night and imagines him on top of her and having his way with her. Sometimes, she reaches out, but forgets that it's only a dream, yet it seemed so real. If only it were real, she hopes it will be as great as she imagines it will be. It got her hot and bothered as if his presence was in her room, anyway. If he was physically present in her room, what it would do to her.
They are in bed. He slowly moves his hand up her naked legs and naked body until he reaches her insides with his fingers and finds the one thing that no other man has found before at the same time she holds him in her hand slowly massaging him getting him ready. She whispers in his ear, "I want your cock in me right now." He kisses her soft lips so gently and removes his fingers from her ready to stay in her all night long until they can no longer take it anymore. Babe can go no more after a while as she ever so lightly pushes him off her and rests her head on his chest. He gives her forehead a little peck and they fall asleep in each others arms.
Once Upon a Time, it was Lust at First Site.
A couple of my friends have encouraged me to try online dating sites but I always told them I want to meet someone in person with this epic story behind it. I love great stories. I mean, how boring does this sound, "I met him through all these online profiles and thought he was the best one out of all of them." It's like applying for a job online.
A friend said, "You could always talk about the dates you go on after you meet them in person."
Still, it's not the same.
Then again, I'd say this story would be pretty epic: finding someone datable on Omegle who isn't just looking to play, hahaha, especially scrolling through all those dick videos, oh. my. God. I was just looking for friends to talk to on there. I didn't think I'd really like anyone as more, honestly. And then it happened when I least expected it.
I totally feel ya though about wanting fate to happen in person, because that's what I wanted for the longest time and I don't think I'm going to get what I want where I live and it's looking grimmer by the day with the people in my town. I'd HAVE to look online, or I wouldn't have to, but just be lonely. It's all good. Hopefully I have my work to keep me preoccupied about not thinking about being alone. I've been without for so long, I've just stopped caring. Every time I get my hopes up I always get crushed in the end. I'm just trying to have a positive attitude even when things look hopeless.
Channing Tatum Look-A-Like
I was talking to a man named Matt, 23-years-old, from Colorado on that site today. He literally reminds me of Channing Tatum. Looks exactly like the actor, I'm not kidding…and then the chat froze on us. I had him standing up for me walking around in a circle pretending like he was a model, he looked like one, LOL. I was just telling him a funny story about me and my two guy roommates and he was laughing so hard at it damn it. I hate that site for freezing a lot just as I'm about to get into good conversations with people on there.
When the chat froze we started writing hand written notes to show on the cam it was hilarious but then that froze, too. Ahhh.
Well, a new person who I may potentially talk to not Matt, did tell me I am an unforgettable person and people will always remember me even if they only meet me for five minutes. I have a lasting impression! What can I say?
Matt was the first person I met from Colorado on there and he told me he hopes he made a good impression for Colorado people and I said he sure did.
That Young Stud Virgin
That Young Stud Virgin
I've always liked younger guys because the older guys in my city play too many games with me. I said to myself if I'm going to talk to someone immature, may as well talk to a younger guy who at least still keeps in shape instead of these older gentlemen who are so unsettling. Mind you, the younger guys I talk to, they are still men even if they are a few years younger than me. At least they're the age of a man, but maybe have the mentality of children, ha. Omegle is quite the interesting online video chat community. If someone is making you uncomfortable, you can always immediately X out of the screen and start talking to someone new in an instant without a trace of them finding you again. It's like a virtual one-night stand. I'm not on there to show my genitals to people, I just like talking to people from all over the world. If I come across the right person, maybe we can play on cam. That's just not my kind of thing. I've met people from the UK, Sweden, Denmark, and especially Finland.
This particular boy, 18, from Finland intrigued me. He's the youngest guy I've ever talked to, and the only really young one. I don't purposely go searching for 18-year-olds or younger. As soon as they tell me they're 17 or 16, I usually X out of those screens until I find someone closer to my age.
Probably because he told me he's still a virgin, at 18-years-old. I said, "Wow, why still a virgin? You're cute, know how to sing and play piano AND guitar. What girl wouldn't want you there?" I don't know any people these days anymore who are still virgins, even at 18. I mean, look at Charley who is 21-years-old, and has two children. He had to have started really young.
Finland boy replied, "I have many girls that want to date me. That's just not a high priority for me right now."
I told him there's not really any good guys in my town and I'm so lonely.
He said, "Maybe a man is not meant for you right now, but you will find him."
I wanted him to hug me right then.
We skyped the whole night. I didn't get any sleep at all and was still talking to him at 6:30 AM my time and it was like 11:00 AM his time. I had so much fun talking to him and he said he didn't want to do anything else but talk to me all day. He was singing to me. He played his guitar, piano. I sang to him, too. It was sweet. He's in Finland, sigh.
We tried scheduling another time to talk, but with the time difference, it was hard. I finally saw him online again so I sent him a message asking him how he was doing and what is he up to?
He replied, "It's 5 A.M. and I can't sleep so I got on here."
I said, "Can I see you on cam so you can say goodnight to me?"
We saw each other and waved.
He then ended the conversation with, "Well I'm going to go to bed now. Uni starts Tuesday. I'll see you some day."

New Tab: Erotica Stories
My stories have mostly been innocent rated PG stories. I'm in the sort of mood to write some sexy stories. Full on nothing but sex stories.
Maybe it's because I haven't kissed a guy or done anything at all with a guy in forever, more like two years. I don't know, but this tab was born.
Plus, some interesting things have been happening in my life lately and all of my stories are in fact based off of true events and then I change them into sort of a fanfiction type deal starring me as the main character, lol.

I just can't believe the game is on the same night as the draft!
By the way guys, the team who wins Game 3 more often than not, wins the series.
Because Ottawa has ouplayed the Rangers in 4 of the 6 games so far...
I think the Rangers take it though. King Henrik is going to shut them down.
Rangers, draft, Knicks (really just watching to see Kemba-UConn rep), devils (don't care about devils but a game 7 is a game 7)...
I'm about to set up a LaN party for streaming.
It's official. A win tomorrow sets up the annual capitals-rangers series.
great to see the stinking Bruins go into the toilet in the first round
hopefully Septics implode and crash next
followed by the Sux
and then the Cheating Douchebags this autumn
Although I don't think it is just a coincidence that the Rangers have scored 9 goals in the 3 games with Hags and have scored only 3 goals in the 3 games that Hags was out.
I never realized until he was gone how important he is to the overall offense. He makes that #1 line go and him being in the lineup allows for more balance on the other 3 lines.
By the way, Kreider is the real deal.
sg3, while some of your posts are a little on the "LOLzz WTF?!?" side, that last one was 100% on point.
Game 7 at the world's most famous arena....there are few things better.
I'm going. Let's get some hype posts going.
And now the Rangers seem to have found a potentially potent line in Stepan, Cally and Kreider. I still think Stepan is an ideal 3rd liner but he played extremely well in Game 6. I know many of you may not agree with that but he really doesn't have the puck skills of a top 6 forward IMO. And he's pretty damn slow for a young guy his size. In any event, I like that line right now.
I guess Boyle is out, so it's Dubinsky/Prust/Feds and Anisimov/Rupp/Mitchell. Although Dubinsky and Artie might be interchangeable depending on how each is going.

In light of punk Chris Neil's comments impliedly threatening Del Zotto, what do you all think of pairing Del Zotto with Stu Bickel toight.
I like artie getting ice time over dubi. The only thing dubi has shown he can do at this point is score empty netters. Artie can do a lot on the boards and has greater offensive instincts.
My last night in Turkey. Hope to wake up to some good news. Would watch the game at 2 if the internetz didnt suck in my hotel.
Lets go Rangers!!!Need a goal out of Gabby tonite not just an above average performance. I expect Richards and Capt. Rochester to play big.
