Menus Oct 27 ~ Nov 2
Some thoughts on aging:
You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.
Now you have to program about everything, even your coffee pot.
Have a good week folks.
Loretta - thanks for starting another week's thread - I sure enjoy you!
Sunday's plan:
B: 1/2 apple w/tahini & Super Fake honey, coffee
snack: cheddar stick
L: (Out) ??
D: Parmesan fried eggplant, wilted spinach, diet tonic
snack: SF jello w/squirt wh crm
LOL Loretta, that is so true. Fortunately some of us have saved our old coffee pots and other things that don't need programing.
Been MIA for several weeks but am still walking about two hours daily and doing either wall push ups or hand weights.
On my way today to the Glen to walk.
Linda, if I ever visited you, the first place I'd want to go is your Glen!!!
Michele, you are right, it's the malitol stuff that bothers dh!!
Loretta, I wondered if you were moving, when you mentioned putting your dining set into co-signment. I hope you get some good money for it.
Yes, I still have our old Penney's brand electric percolator, it still works, whenever the Mr. Coffee breaks or we break the pot that comes with it.
Sundays foods
B: yellow squash cut up, mushrooms, garlic, sautéed. 1/2 cup egg subs. flaxmeal, hot salt. reduced fat Feta crumbles. black coffee, several
L: h/B eggs and grape tomatoes and black olives, iced coffee

D: grilled Tri Tip from Costco, green salad with some canned beets, poppyseed dressing. some mac and cheese baked rounds we bought awhile ago, have never tried them. iced coffee
Evening snack: baby bel light cheese round, Italian ice raspberry flavor and coffee, hot
Loretta thanks for starting us going.
Looks like a lake park walk is happening for today if I can get my hind end out of this chair. Overcast makes for a nice workout.
Plan on making some type of soup for a light lunch and dinner will be salmon with kale and salad.
Loretta moving? I hope you have help in moving the heavy stuff. ;)
Come visit anytime, Doris. I'll take you there. It is spectacularly beautiful all year.
Anyway, got some egg salad at Tops and had that with cantaloupe cubes and coffee in the parking lot of the Glen.:hyst:
Dinner was left over meat balls and sausage with steamed broccoli. Coffee.
Made some SF chocolate mousse for later.
PM Chardonnay tonight.
Sounds like a picnic in October to me, Linda, lol. Where do your cantaloupes come from, Mexico?? I suddenly haven't seen any here, was looking for some for dh.
Sunday's foods UD
After church had a huuuuuge breakfast and was joined by N and her girls. Hot tubbed this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it, the new jets are wonderful (even if it does have a computer and is programmable)...what a pleasure again and thoroughly enervated this evening from the heat.
coffee before church
B. Bacon, eggs, hash browns, rye toast and orange juice with lots more coffee for over 1000 kcals
thoroughly bloated and was wondering if I would have anything else to eat today...but
S. apple, a bit a capicola, pepperoni and swiss cheese with flax crackers and a glass of pinot
1600 kcals
Doris, until Mid October, they come from California. During the fall and winter they come from Guatemala and Costa Rica.
Thanks for that info, Linda...........we are getting grapes from the San Joaquin valley right now, where my brother lives, lol, but otherwise it's Mexico, I wondered where people in New York got their produce from. :)
Mary in SoCal: I wondered if you could tell me where you found the recipe for flax crackers?
1 cup flax seed meal
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
Heat oven to 400 F.
1) Mix all ingredients together.
2) Spoon onto sheet pan which is covered with a silicone mat or greased parchment paper.
3) Cover the mixture with a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Even out the mixture to about 1/8 inch. I find a straight edge, like a ruler, works well, though you can use a rolling pin or wine bottle too. The important thing is not to let it be too thin around the edges or that part will overcook before the center firms up. So after you spread it out, remove the paper and go around the edges with your finger and push the thin part inwards to even it up.
4) Bake until the center is no longer soft, about 15-18 minutes. If it starts to get more than a little brown around the edges, remove from oven. Let cool completely - it will continue to crisp up.
5) Break into pieces.
The whole recipe is 6 grams of effective carbohydrate plus 35 grams of fiber.
Yum! I can't have dairy but I have some 'fake' cheese I could use instead. Thank you so much for sharing! I'll be trying these soon!
Do you know how said the quote that you have listed on your signature? I believe it was Jim Elliot?
My friend John has a drip-o-later that you put on the gas stove and pour the water through the grounds. It really makes good coffee. It just takes a while to get the water boiling in the kettle.
Sunday: coffee
Brunch: egg, 1 slice bacon, skinny round
banana w pb
Pizza, wine
Snack: peanut butter rice krispie square, CF diet soda
Monday: coffee
Brunch: lc pumpkin bar
6:00: not sure, left overs most likely and salad, wine
Snack: peanuts, CF diet soda
Yes, moving to be with my friend John. Neither one of us wants another marriage so we will go it this way. Putting most of my things in storage for now.
Good for you, Loretta, glad you are happy!
We have a Melitta coffee "thing" that you put grounds in, and boil water, pour on top of the filter "thing" you set over the pot, my mother used to do that on the weekends when we had time to sit and wait awhile for coffee. I don't know why I don't use it, nothing wrong with it :dunno:
Monday's foods
B: cut up yellow squash, garlic, mushrooms, cauliflower, sautéed. 1/2 cup egg subs. hot salt, flaxmeal. several black coffees
L: H/B eggs, grape tomatoes, and black olives
Snack: iced coffee
D: going out with the kids to Cotton Patch, $6.99 dinner special on Monday's.
Evening snack: cutup strawberries and Italian ice, lemon flavor, iced coffee
I had grilled tilapia at the Café, and iced tea, broccoli and cheese rice mix, and green salad served in little bowls, lol. It was fun, had a lot of laughs because of Silas at the table.
Monday's Eats DD
I also have a Melitta which I no longer use. Mine is a small one for a one cupper; I used to keep one at my brother's place as they drank only instant which I hate. I only drank instant when I was in the Army, and we were "downrange."
Thanks for posting the flax cracker recipe. I'm too lazy for that and get Mary's Gone Crackers at my local nutrition center.
coffee, coffee, coffee...until 3 p.m when I tried a new recipe from the book 5:2 Diet Microwave Cookbook by Bridges and Sharp...Feel Full Oatmeal cookie. I'll post the recipe if anyone's interested in a quick oatmeal patty....really good for
140 kcals and very filling. Uses 1/4 cup oats and only 2 teaspoons flour (I used almond flour)
S. small salad and a bowl of gumbo which went well on this cloudy, cool day.
total 500 kcals
Isn't that funny, Mary, how we have these "things" but don't use them?? We loved the strong coffee when my mother used the Melitta, have the special filters and stuff, but I don't use it, keep it in a cabinet in the china buffet. Also have a coffee pot and parts all made out of glass, you basically cook the water and it drips upwards and then down, fun to watch, we don't use that, either, but it made it all the way to Texas, lol. Bet you took a lot of different things with you when you travelled and moved all over while in the service!!! ;)
Breakfast was flax chia hot cereal with coffee and sprinkle of dried cranberries.
Lunch was left over broccoli soup that I made yesterday and hard boiled egg
Snack was strawberries and some coconut butter
Dinner was pancakes. Needed some carbs I guess. :)
Grammy, you are very welcome. Hope you can adapt them to non dairy.
The Quote " one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws" was ML King. Letter from Birmingham Jail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brunch: Cheese egg, lental soup and coffee
Dinner: turkey leg, Brussel sprouts with butter, coffee.
Chardonnay tonight.
The quote,"WHEREVER YOU ARE - BE ALL THERE! " is the one I was thinking of. :-) I think Jim Elliot was known for that quote.
Oh I see. That was a quote that one of our deceased members,Barb, shared with us.
It was amazing, Doris, the stuff we hauled around. When we went in, we traveled to Colorado with all our wordly belongings in the trunk of the car and a car-top carrier...when we got out, we had two moving vans loaded...mine from Fort Irwin, his from L.A. When we got it all in one place, we had double everything and a house and garage packed to the gills. And yep, I even had the pyrex coffee pot, the Melitta, and by that time, we were using the Mr. Coffee.
Still dripping outside, had a magic pop, laughing cow cheese (cinnamon) and a cup of lite Swiss Miss....the Keurig is good for that, too. for another 75 kcals.
Come to think of it, I now have two Mr. Coffees (one in the RV and one in the garage), the Melitta, and two Keurig's (one in the kitchen and one for the RV) Sigh!
Oh yeah, Mary, I can imagine it, lol. :laugh: I'm digging out the Melitta set, if mother in law visits, she drinks coffee morning, noon, and night, same as we do. Our kids and their wives don't drink coffee, so that probably explains why I don't use those things, back in the early days, all the relatives came to our house in San Jose, and it was all of them that drank all the coffee. Still have one of those 40 cup percolators, where you twist a lever to pour your own cup, from those days long ago.
Tuesday's foods

Disclosed is a method for fabricating wafer-level flip chip packages using anisotropic conductive adhesive. A low-priced non-solder bump, such as a gold stud bump or an electroless nickel/gold bump, is formed on an I/O pad of each chip of a wafer obtained by semiconductor processes. An anisotropic conductive adhesive solution or film is applied onto the wafer, followed by dicing the wafer into individual chips. They are arranged on and heat-pressed against a substrate at 150° C. for 5 min with the aid of a flip chip bonder. Each of the chips is mechanically and electrically connected to the substrate via the anisotropic conductive adhesive. Thus, the method can accomplish low-priced flip chip packaging or chip size packaging simply using conventional packaging lines.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the fabrication of a wafer-level flip chip package by use of a pre-coated anisotropic conductive adhesive.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Involved in all procedures of the production of final products from semiconductor devices, an electronic packaging technology is a system fabrication methodology covering a wide range of versatile techniques. With great advances in technology in recent years, semiconductor fabrication techniques have enabled the integration of million or more cells, the multiplication of I/O pins, the enlargement of die sizes, the rapid radiation of large amounts of heat, the high electrical performance of semiconductor devices, etc. The electronic packaging technology, which is to encapsulate these semiconductor devices in some form of hermetically sealed package so as to protect them from external or internal damages, however, cannot keep up with the semiconductor fabrication techniques, which make daily progress.
In determining the performance, dimension, price and reliability of a final semiconductor device product, the electronic package technology is one of the most important factors. Extremely small package parts find numerous applications in the computer, information and communication, mobile communication, and high-end household electrical appliance industries for seeking high electrical and electronic performance, slimness/high integration, low power consumption, multi-functionality, high speed signal processing, and permanent reliability. A flip-chip technique, which is generally used to mount a semiconductor chip onto a circuit board, is extending its applications to the fields of smart cards, displays such as LCD and PDP, computers, mobile phones, communication systems, etc. The flip-chip technique, however, has a drawback in that the production efficiency is poor in terms of process complexity and product cost because it requires conventional solder-using complex connection processes, that is, solder flux coating, chip/board arranging, solder bump reflowing, flux removing, underfiller-filling and curing processes.
In order to reduce these complex processes, particular attention has recently been paid to wafer-level packaging techniques in which wafers are coated with polymeric materials having flux and underfiller functions and processed. More recently, in developing new, improved flip-chip connection techniques, advantage has been taken of conductive adhesives, which are of lower price than solders and enable the formation of ultra fine electrode pitches with the potential to realize environmentally-friendly, fluxless processes and low temperature processes.
Consisting fundamentally of conductive particles such as nickel, gold/polymer, silver, etc. and binders such as thermosetting or thermoplastic insulating resins, conductive adhesives are largely divided into anisotropic conductive adhesive/films and isotropic conductive adhesives. There has been a strong demand for the development of a process of producing a low-priced adhesive and a flip-chip bonding process capable of such a low-priced adhesive. In this connection, based on highly curable, thermosetting epoxy resins, anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA) is developed. ACA can be divided into anisotropic conductive adhesive films (ACAF) and anisotropic conductive adhesive paste (ACAP) in a view of morphology with preference to ACAP owing to its simpler preparation and more convenient use in the connection processes.
In spite of extensive active research, developed flip-chip techniques using these environmentally-friendly anisotropic conductive films or paste as connecting materials suffer from the disadvantage of being inefficient in production costs because of requiring many processes, including chip designing and bump forming processes for package of ACA flip chips, mass production of connecting materials, and automation of connecting processes.
Many prior arts refer to the flip chip techniques relevant to the present invention.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,323,051, titled "Semiconductor Wafer Level Package", issued on Jun. 21, 1994, discloses that a cap wafer is bonded to a semiconductor substrate wafer using a glass adhesive, followed by dicing of the wafer into individual chips. This reference patent is quite different from the present invention in which ACA is applied on a wafer and used for package connection.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,918,113, titled "Process for Producing a Semiconductor Device Using Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive, issued on Jun. 29, 1999, describes the production of a semiconductor device by forming ACA on a circuit board and heat-pressing a semiconductor chip against the circuit board to achieve an electrical connection therebetween. An obvious difference exists between the reference patent and the present invention in which ACA is coated on semiconductor chips with non-solder bumps formed on their I/O pads.
Another technique can be found in S. H. Shi, T. Yamashita and C. P. Wong, "Development of the Wafer Level Compressive-Flow Underfill Process and Its Required Materials", 1999 ECTC, pp. 961-966. In the report, an underfiller having a solder flux function is applied onto a solder bump-formed wafer, which is then diced into individual chips, followed by arranging the chips on a substrate with the help of SMT assembly equipment. Certainly, this process is far simpler than a conventional process of filling an underfiller between the chips and the substrate after the solder reflow connection. On the other hand, the present invention can apply the simplification to wafers on which not only solder bumps, but also non-solder bumps, such as electrolyzed or stud gold bumps and electroless nickel or copper bumps, are formed, by use of ACA. An ACA film or adhesive solution is coated onto a non-solder bump formed semiconductor substrate wafer which is then diced into individual chips, immediately followed by the heat-pressing of the individual chips against the circuit board so that an electrical connection is obtained between the chips and the circuit board via the conductive adhesive.
As mentioned above, electronic packaging technology has the task of developing new electrical connections substituting for conventional solder connections in pursuit of environmentally friendly processes as well as lowered production costs.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to overcome the problems encountered in prior arts and to provide a method for fabricating a wafer-level flip-chip package, which is advantageous in terms of production cost by simplifying the processes subsequent to the fabrication of conventional solder bump flip-chip packages, including solder flux coating, flip chip/substrate arranging, solder reflowing, flux removing, underfiller filling, and curing processes.
Based on the present invention, the above object could be accomplished by a provision of a method for fabricating a wafer-level flip chip package using anisotropic conductive adhesive, comprising the steps of: forming a low-priced non-solder bump on an I/O pad of each chip of a wafer; coating the anisotropic conductive adhesive over the wafer; dicing the anisotropic conductive adhesive-coated wafer into individual chips by use of a wafer dicing machine; and subjecting the individual chips to flip-chip bonding.
The above and other objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1a is a schematic view showing a semiconductor wafer manufactured by a typical semiconductor process;
FIG. 1b is a schematic cross sectional view showing the structure of the wafer, taken along the line A—A′ of FIG. 1a;
FIG. 2a is a schematic view showing a wafer after an electroless nickel/gold plating process is conducted to form low-priced non-solder bumps;
FIG. 2b is a schematic cross sectional view showing the structure of the wafer, taken along the line A—A′ of FIG. 2a;
FIG. 3a is a schematic view showing a wafer after an anisotropic conductive adhesive layer is deposited over the bump-formed wafer;
FIG. 3b is a schematic cross sectional view showing the structure of the wafer, taken along the line A—A′ of FIG. 3a;
FIG. 4a is a schematic view showing a dicing process;
FIG. 4b is a schematic cross sectional view showing a diced chip;
FIG. 5 illustrates a flip chip bonding process in which the individual chips are arranged on and heat-pressed against a substrate to form a mechanical and electrical connection between the chips and the substrate; and
FIG. 6 is a photograph of a flip chip.
The present invention pertains to a fabricating method of a wafer level flip chip package at low cost. In this regard, the present invention simplifies the processes necessary for the substrate connection, subsequent to the manufacture of conventional solder bump flip chip packages, such as solder flux coating, flip chip/substrate arranging, solder reflowing, flux removing, underfiller filling, and curing processes. Particularly, the present invention is applied to the wafer level flip chip packages employing non-solder bumps, such as gold stud bumps and electroless Ni/Au bumps.
In accordance with the present invention, anisotropic conductive adhesive, whether in a form of a film or a solution, is applied over the wafer on which such a non-solder bump is formed before dicing of the wafer into individual chips. After being arranged, the diced chips which are thus coated with the conductive adhesive are heat-pressed against a circuit board so that the individual chips are electrically connected via the conductive particles of the anisotropic conductive adhesive and physically bonded via the polymeric resin of the anisotropic conductive adhesive to the circuit board.
The application of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is best understood with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used for like and corresponding parts, respectively.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a wafer 1 fabricated by a typical semiconductor process. As shown in FIG. 1, the wafer has many chips mounted thereon, each chip having at least one I/O pad 2 for connecting signals. At a cross-section of each chip, there can be found an Al I/O pad and a passivation layer 3. On the I/O pad of each of chips is formed a low-price non-solder bump.
Non-Solder Bump Formation
With reference to FIG. 2, there is illustrated the formation of a low-priced non-solder bump 4 on each of wafer chips, according to the present invention. As a non-solder bump, a gold stud bump or a copper bump is useful and formed in an electroless plating process. Typically, a wafer which is fabricated by a semiconductor producing process taking advantage of Al metallization has Al I/O pads thereon.
In order to form gold stud bumps, a gold bonding wire bonder may be used. In the case that an electroless Ni/Au plating method is applied, a treatment with zincate is carried out to activate Al prior to Ni plating. Ni plating is conducted at 90° C. for 20-30 min so as to form a bump height of 10-15 μm. On the other hand, gold is plated at 60° C. for 30 min to prevent the oxidation of nickel.
Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive Coating
With reference to FIG. 3, an ACA layer 6 is applied over the wafer, followed by the formation of a protective layer 5 on the ACA layer 6. The application of ACA to the bump-formed wafer may be achieved in a spraying, a doctor blade, or a meniscus process using an ACA solution. Alternatively, an ACAF may be employed. The film is laminated on the wafer in a thickness of about 20-25 μm. Against the entire area of the wafer on which low-priced bumps are formed, an ACAF with a thickness of 20-25 μm is pressed at a pressure of 1-2 kgf/cm2 at 70-80° C. for 5-10 sec under vacuum. Care must be taken not to create voids therein. Preferably, the ACA resin is in a semi-cure state with a cured portion of 50%. To prepare an ACAF, first, a mixture comprising an epoxy resin in which Ni- or Au-coated polymer balls are embedded in an amount of 2-15 wt %, a solvent, and an imidazole-based curing agent in an amount of 7-10 g per 100 g of the epoxy is applied over a releasable film larger than the wafer in a doctor blading process. The epoxy mixture spread over the releasable film is then heated at 80° C. for 1-2 min in an oven to remove the solvent. The result is an ACAF suitable for use in wafer level packages. The ACAF has the characteristic of being curable at 150° C. within five min. After laminating, it is required to control properties of a lamination apparatus and the film in order to prevent the occurrence of the shadowing, the phenomenon of forming voids around each bump. The lamination is designed to pressurize the film under vacuum. After being withdrawn form the laminator, the wafer is deprived of the releasable film and then, subjected to a dicing process.
Wafer Dicing Process
In this process, the wafer with the ACA is mounted on a wafer dicing machine to confirm the scribe line of the wafer, after which the wafer is diced into individual chips 7, as shown in FIG. 4. In this regard, the ACA is required to be transparent. That is, the scribing line and the arrangement pad must be recognized through the ACA in order to enable the dicing of the wafer and the arrangement of individual chips with the substrate for a flip chip process. The ACA coated on the wafer must have such high adhesiveness as not to exhibit delamination in this wafer dicing process. Ni- or Au-coated polymer particles are preferably added in an amount of 2-15 wt % in ACA, so that the ACA is of transparency high enough to enable the inspection of the scribing line and the arrangement of individual chips with the substrate upon dicing and bonding processes. After dicing, each of the chips may be used as a flip chip package.
Flip Chip Connecting Process
Since its one side is coated with ACA, each of the diced chips can be bonded to a substrate only by use of heat and pressure. FIG. 5 illustrates the mechanical and electrical assembly of diced, individual chips and a substrate. After removing the protective layer from the diced chips, as shown in FIG. 5, they are arranged on and heat-pressed against the substrate. The heat pressing is preferably conducted at 150° C. for 5 min with the aid of a flip chip bonder. One of the flip chips is shown in a photograph in FIG. 6.
As described hereinbefore, the wafer-level flip chip package technique using anisotropic conductive adhesive in accordance with the present invention is economically favorable owing to its simplicity and highly added-value. In addition, the technique employs environmentally-friendly processes and thus, can be readily applied in practice.
The present invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology used is intended to be in the nature of description rather than of limitation. Many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. Therefore, it is to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

Game on: Follow the college basketball thrills of March Madness
Like any widely popular national playoffs, the NCAA tournament involves more than sports. Find March Madness-related coverage in other sections, such as business, technology or lifestyle.
Newspaper serve readers who have varied knowledge and interests. Is college basketball coverage presented clearly for casual fans, or do jargon and obscure references make it hard to understand? Discuss what you'd change.
Pre-game and post-game excitement spills into comment forums and blogs. Look for entertaining, amusing or outrageous "trash talk."
As this week starts, America's 64 strongest men's varsity basketball teams are lined up at the start of a three-week charge. Weaker ones, or those hit by unlucky breaks and close calls, will be sidelined day by day in a NCAA Division I tournament known as March Madness. Like any phenomenon with millions of passionate fans, the college hoop championship competition may seem larger than life these next few weeks.
The frenzy reaches far beyond campuses and arenas. Anyone anywhere can be a fan. MySpace users can compete for a $10,000 top prize by trying to predict the outcome in a Bracket Challenge. Yahoo has a special mobile phone service with scores, live updates, schedules, commentary and a $1-million contest. A $5 application for the iPhone and iPod touch offers a March Madness features that include live CBS Sports video of all games. Adult fans join workplace wagering pools and sneak peeks at daytime games online.
March Madness is almost inescapable, in other words. For fans, it dominates conversations more than American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and Gossip Girl combined. Excitement comes partly from rooting for local or home state teams, or schools attended by friends or family members. Another hook is the reality TV drama of surprise outcomes - Cinderella stories with buzzer-beating upsets.
What are 'brackets': The NCAA pairs regional teams against each other in the opening rounds based on their 2008-09 records and other factors. Those pairings, just announced Sunday, are called brackets - a reference to the matchup chart newspapers print and post.
Other jargon: In addition to March Madness, the three-week tournament is called the Big Dance. Survivors of the first two rounds are known as the Sweet Sixteen. Those games' winners become the Elite Eight, setting the stage for two pre-championship games featuring the Final Four.
Schedule: The 71st annual tournament begins Tuesday, March 17, and winds up with the Final Four games April 4 at Detroit's Ford Field and a championship showdown two days later.

Hi, I am a 41 year old mom of 3 girls. I have been thinking for the past year or so that I am in perimenopause, but I just am not sure what is going on. About 2 years ago, I had my IUD removed (NOT to get pregnant, but to feel better in tune with my body.) Since then, I have gone back to tracking my cycles, somewhat. I have been mostly just tracking cervical mucus. I have had several cycles with no sign of fertile mucus, and cycle lengths varying from 26 days to 32 days. (26 was closer to my pre-IUD days.)
The last month has been even more crazy. I went about 30 days with no sign of fertile mucus. When I went to look at the dates of my cycle, I saw that I was already 2 days "late." (on day 32 of cycle.) After 2 more days, I took a preg test to be sure (even though I am nearly positive that I wasn't pregnant) and it was negative. I decided at this poinnt that I better go back to doing basal temps as well. So I started temps again about a week ago, and they have all been in the 97.1-97.4 range (previously, I always ran those temps pre-ovulation, andd temps post-o were over 98.) I also started with fertile-type mucus about a week ago. So this was making me think that I just had a long cycle. Now, I am noticing breast tenderness, and had some indigestion this morning that felt a bit like nausea. Does this sound ike perimenopause or do I need to be worried and/or take another preg test??
|Mon, 01-28-2013 - 11:01pm
Hi Karen and welcome to the board. At 41 it is possible that you are in perimenopause. For many of us the first thing we notice is the differences in our periods. In peri than can be longer,shorter, lighter, heavier, closer together or farther apart or any combination of these and can vary from month to month.
I will be honest, it has been many years since I dealt with basal temps and mucus so I can't help there. I don't think that at this point, I would do another pregnancy test... You seem to think that there would be little chance that you might be pregnant.
If you go to the Menopause Oasis, http://cl-klrambo-ivil.tripod.com/menopauseoasis/ You will find a list of almost 60 symptoms that we know of. You may be surprised to find you have more than you think.
Come back anytime, and remember.... you are NOT alone!!!
|Mon, 02-04-2013 - 6:14am
Thanks for your reply! Update: stil no period. This cycle has been 46 days long, the previous cycle was 26 days, but since Sept I have had 2 that were only 15 days. I took another pregnancy test today (for piece of mind, since temps are still low) and it's still negative. I am thinking that this must be perimenopause. About how long might I be looking at crazy cycle lengths? I asked my mom when she went through menopause, and she thought she was 52. Am I looking at 10 years still?
|Sun, 02-10-2013 - 2:32pm
Perimenopause, the time before meno can last up to 10 to 15 years..... Not what you wanted to hear huh? Now, having said that, just because your mom went through meno at 52 though might give you an 'idea' of what you have to look forward to might not be what you do. My journey was NOT my mothers. And if yours is not hers, you might be one of the lucky ones who might just 'stop' one day.
Menopause is a point in time, when you have bled your last. You must go 12 months without a period to be post menopause. Not even one drop of blood. It is suggested that you use protection for the first 2 years unless you would not mind being pregnant to be safe. On the 12 months, a few years ago we had one woman who went 11 1/2 months without anything and then had a period and had to start her count all over. She was NOT happy!
Post anytime! And remember, you are NOT alone!!!

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme–but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.
This book is about how the money system will have to change–and is already changing–to embody this transition. A broadly integrated synthesis of theory, policy, and practice, Sacred Economics explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, resource-based economics, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons. Author Charles Eisenstein also considers the personal dimensions of this transition, speaking to those concerned with "right livelihood" and how to live according to their ideals in a world seemingly ruled by money. Tapping into a rich lineage of conventional and unconventional economic thought, Sacred Economics presents a vision that is original yet commonsense, radical yet gentle, and increasingly relevant as the crises of our civilization deepen.
"This brilliant and beautifully written book is an indispensable must-read for all those who believe our economic system is terminally sick and in need of radical, sacred rehaul. Charles Eisenstein has the great gift of being able to make complex ideas both thrilling and inspiring. I hope this book begins a serious, worldwide conversation on how we can reinvent our attitude to money."–Andrew Harvey, author of The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism
"I consider Charles Eisenstein one of the up-and-coming great minds of our time. Rarely have I met a person who combines such philosophical and spiritual depth with such practical insights into the cultural and institutional origins of the potentially terminal dysfunctions of modern society–and the potential solutions."–David Korten, author of The Great Turning
"If you want a convincing account of just how deep the shift in our new axial age is and must be, look no further than this brilliant book by Charles Eisenstein, one of the deepest integrative thinkers active today."–Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation
"With his breadth of knowledge, enthusiasm, commitment, diligence, and sensitivity, Charles has become a beacon of hope for others. Your heart and mind will be opened by this treasure of a book that shines with wisdom of crucial importance to our troubled world today."–Kamran Mofid, founder of the Globalization for the Common Good Initiative

Although we've built many smaller sized barge over the last five years, this is the first new barge program that Metal Trades has been contracted to design and build. We worked closely with Bristol Harbor Group and the customer throughout the entire process. This is a proud accomplishment for the Metal Trades - Maybank Industries team."

The NLP View: Jackie Wilkinson Discusses How She Won Gold - Jan 18,2013
There are many factors which influence sporting abilities and the probability of success. They range from genetics, physical ability, perfection of techniques to the athlete's mental abilities. It is equally as important as to possess the physical capacity to win as it is the mental ability to win.Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) focuses on the discovery or patterns of human behavior, which affects an individual's goals and endeavor. NLP deciphers the strategies, techniques and physiology used by athletes in order to achieve excellence. This is a process which can be learned in a short space of time. NLP provides multiple techniques to maintain the motivation to train, which will allow an athlete to achieve the highest level of success within his or her capacity. Tune in to this segment of The NLP View Radio Show, as host, Donna Blinston, R.N. is joined by author, Jackie Wilkinson to discuss her best-selling book, "Succeed in Sport, Train-Learn-Adapt-Improve".

text: Marc Rocco will direct an adaptation of Jim Thompson noir novel The Killer Inside Me, according to Variety. Robert Weinbach wrote the script, and his Cyclone Prods. will produce with Chris Hanley's Muse Film Prods. Published in 1952, "The Killer Inside Me" concerns a deputy sheriff in a West Texas town whose kind Everyman demeanor masks his true dark self. He is slowly revealed as a psychotic killer. Rocco ("Murder in the First") said financing is being finalized for a fall start, subject to casting. "I loved the idea of filming a beautiful small town and adding an antihero who is right out of the films of the 1970s," Rocco said. "We will put him into a post-9/11 world, and one interesting layer to the script is how much technology has changed the definition of a small town."

Typical: Obama Uses Turkey Pardon To Take Shots At Romney
This is one of the reasons I say Obama is Not My President (NMP): his ability to be uncharitable and snarky to his political opponents. A president is supposed to at least pay lip service to being the POTUS, rather than always acting as leader of one Party
(The Blaze) During the annual presidential tradition of pardoning a Turkey just before Thanksgiving, President Obama couldn't seem to resist referencing the recent election against Gov. Mitt Romney.
"They say life is all about second chances, and this November, I couldn't agree more," he said with a smile in the Rose Garden Wednesday.
Perhaps referring to Mitt Romney's allegation that he won through "gifts," Obama continued: "So in the spirit of the season, I have one more gift to give, and it goes to a pair of turkeys named Cobbler and Gobbler."
Obama then proceeded to reference his campaign slogan, as the crowd gave a laugh: "The American people have spoken, and these birds are moving forward!"
While the previous references could be seen as coincidences, Obama's next line was impossible to misinterpret.
"Now, I joke but, for the first time in our history, the winners of the White House turkey pardon were chosen through a highly competitive online vote. And once again, Nate Silver completely nailed it! The guy's amazing…"
So, the president is wishing Democrats a Happy Thanksgiving, and to hell with the rest of you folks. Not My President.
The question now is, what does he do? The only thing he does well is campaign. He's been a complete SCOAMF on everything else. Even though he cannot run again, does the Neverending Campaign continue?

Put a woman on Canada's $100 billPosted by Tom Megginson | 29-10-2014 18:33 | Category: Gender issues
Although, as a Commonwealth country, Canada currently has Queen Elizabeth II on every $20 bill, the only Canadian women honoured on a banknote were recently removed. In 2001, Canada's redesigned $50 bill featured The Famous Five, a group of women who successfully petitioned the supreme court to recognize women as "persons" in the constitution of the 1920s. In 2011, a new series of bills removed the women and replaced them with an icebreaker.
A petition on Change.org began to circulate, stating "Bank notes that belong to all Canadians should depict a wider range of Canadians, of both genders as well as various ethnic origins. Who and what is celebrated on our bank notes matters, as it reflects what we consider important in our culture and history and who we consider worthy of honouring for achievement. Women are not absent from the list of notable worthies in Canada, just notably absent or under-represented in many of the images that surround us and which contribute to our view of the world and our potential role in it."
The petition gained support from people like author/poet Margaret Atwood. But now the people behind it have found a fun way to engage the public: By having them nominate their own famous Canadian women for an upcoming issue of the $100 bill with a photo mockup tool.

In Brazil they save water with siliconPosted by Marc van Gurp | 27-10-2014 20:40 | Category: Environment
São Paulo in Brazil suffers from the worst water shortage in history. Water is not rationed but there is now a campaign to ask motorists not to wash their cars during the drought. That's not a bad call in a city of 7 million cars because washing a car takes about 500 liters of water.
And what do you do as an advertising agency for such a campaign? Pulling the sexist drawer full of blondes, silicone and dingy males.
Even environmental issues can be solved the sexist way.

UK Girl Guides demand political action on sexism #girlsmatterPosted by Tom Megginson | 10-09-2014 15:30 | Category: Gender issues
From a creative or marketing point of view, there's nothing outstanding about this video by Girlguiding UK. It's a typical compilation of "streeters," with diverse women speaking out about sexism and harassment:
What is interesting is how activist the Guides have become. This is not a simple call to the public to help fight inequality; this is an organized demand to British MPs.
Their online petition to Members of Parliament makes the following demands:
1. Listen to girls and young women, take them seriously and make sure their voices count
2. Demand that schools take a zero-tolerance approach to sexual bullying and harassment
3. Call on all schools to teach body confidence and gender equality
4. Make girls' rights a priority in the UK's approach to international development
5. Stop children's exposure to harmful sexualised content in mainstream media
6. Empower girls and young women to speak out and be heard on the impact of media sexism and stereotyping
7. Modernise Sex and Relationships Education so all young people can make informed decisions and stay safe
8. Guarantee that women will be equally represented in Parliament
These are big demands ( #5 worries me from a censorship point-of-view, and applying #8 could have some unintended consequences) but I can't think of another time that the 104-year-old organization, or any of its international versions, has directly addressed politicians with such a powerful agenda.

"You Don't Say" campaign addresses problematic languagePosted by Tom Megginson | 27-04-2014 14:17 | Category: Gender issues
The "You Don't Say Campaign" is a collaboration between a student group named Think Before You Talk and the Blue Devils United athletics program at Duke University in North Carolina, USA.
According to their Facebook Page:
The "You Don't Say Campaign" seeks to raise awareness around the misuse of language that relates to the LGBTQ community and gender issues. These words dehumanize and marginalize many within the Duke community and beyond and it is important to understand why.
Our Goal: Foster dialogue on the intersection of language and gender and sexual identities.
Words mean something. Think Before You Talk.
The campaign takes a poster format, but beyond campus the captioned photographs are a perfect match for social media. I'm not thrilled by the photography, which could have been much more striking, but the student models certainly have their hearts in it. It's good to see youth take responsibility for the social implications of the words their peers use so casually.

Street art against street harassment #STWTSPosted by Tom Megginson | 11-03-2014 18:34 | Category: Gender issues
"Stop Telling Women to Smile" is a street art series by Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. She says the work "attempts to address gender based street harassment by placing drawn portraits of women, composed with captions that speak directly to offenders, outside in public spaces."
"The project consists of a series of portraits of women, she explains, "women who I have sat talked with about their experiences with harassment. The portraits are designed into posters, including text that is inspired by the subject's experiences. And then I wheat paste."
The project started in Brooklyn in the fall of 2012, and will gradually include many cities and many women participants. The picture above is of the artist in LA. Below, you'll see more of her work:

Documenting the reality of online harassmentPosted by Tom Megginson | 31-01-2014 15:28 | Category: Media
Lindsay Bottos is a 21-year-old Photography student at the Maryland Institute College of Art. As part of her evolving artistic expression, she posts a lot of self-portraits online.
While "selfies" get a little tired, serious self-portraits of the vulnerable artist have been part of our visual vocabulary since the Renaissance, and reached a fascinating peak in the 20th Century.
In the 21st Century, however, personal artistic expression is seen as an invitation to make anonymous personal attacks on the artist, via social media. It's actually a grave threat to the development of our artistic futures, as real critics and public discussion have been shouted out by immature and cruel trolls.
Ms. Bottos has chosen to face the trolls in her own way, by producing a whole series of self-portraits embellished with the worst comments she receives on them via Tumblr.

I needed to unlock a Samsung GT-E1150i from a UK network - in order to use the handset in Canada. This is not a new model; in fact I couldn't find the name on any of the online lists available. However, I was impressed by the reviews for UnlockCode4U; and I was equally pleased to find that they offered PayPal invoices, which I know to be fast and secure. Their customer service confirmed that my model fell under the E1150 umbrella, and so I gave it a go. The code that they provided for my IMEI unlocked my phone at the first attempt !
