PRINTED CIRCUITS Filed June 19, 1967 3 Sheets-$heet 5 Inventor DAV/O BOSWELL A Home y United States Patent US. Cl. 29-626 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In hybrid chip circuits, particularly in cases where a number of leads are concerned, the leads joining contact areas on a chip to conduct lands on the substrate should be flexible. In the present disclosure flexible contact fingers, integral with conductor lands, are made by first depositing on the substrate material which afterwards is to be selectively etched away and then coating the substrate and the said material with a conductive coating in the pattern of the desired contact fingers and conductor lands. The material underneath the fingers is then etched away, the chip is placed in position and the fingers and corresponding contact areas on the chip are joined up. In the case of a flip-chip arrangement, the chip may be mounted before the material under the fingers is removed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to mounted electrical device assemblies of the kind where a die containing an electrical circuit component is mounted upon a substrate and is concerned with the provision of interconnecting leads from respective electrode areas on the die to corresponding conductor lands on the substrate.
It is common practice to mount semiconductor dice onto substrates carrying film circuits or printed circuits. In some cases the die is mounted face upwards-that is with its electrode contact areas uppermost and connection between the electric contact areas and conductor lands on the substrate is made by means of thin jumper wires which extend over the edges of the die. See, e.g., US. Patent Nos. 3,082,327 and 3,011,379. In other cases-familiarly referred to as flip-chipthe die is mounted face downwards and its contact areas are bonded to respective conductor lands on the substrate. See, e.g., US. Patent No. 3,292,240.
A variety of methods have been used for joining the electrode contact areas of a die to the respective conductor lands or jumper wires. The die may include an integrated circuit having a plurality of separate or structurally integrated transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors formed on the same piece of semiconductor material. The problem then arises, particularly in the case of a flip-chip arrangement, of making simultaneously or one-at-a-time several separate bonds between respective electrode contact areas on the die and conductor lands on the substrate. Another problem common to nearly all cases where dice are mounted on substrates is to achieve an assembly capable of withstanding thermal shock and mechanical forces such as those due to violent acceleration. Silicon dice commonly employ passivating films of oxide with conductor layers, forming the electrode contact areas, deposited over the passivating oxide. The problem then arises of providing adequate adhesion of the conductor layers.
' SUMMARY In the present invention, alleviation of the aforementioned ditficulties is achieved by providing flexible leads for interconnection between electrode areas on the semi- 3,487,541 Patented Jan. 6, 1970 ICC conductor die and corresponding conductor lands on the substrate.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided a mounted semiconductor device assembly including a substrate, a set of flexible contact fingers spaced from the substrate over an area thereof, each finger being integral with a conductor land bonded to the substrate, and a semiconductor die having electrode contact areas united to respective ones of said fingers For the production of a device as specified above, the invention provides a process for manufacturing a mounted semiconductor device assembly having a die of semiconductor material secured to a substrate with a set of contact fingers joining respective electrode contact areas on the die to corresponding conductor lands on the substrate, the fingers extending over and/or under the die, said process including the steps of (i) coating an area of the substrate with etchable material chemically different from that of both the substrate and the fingers, (ii) covering the surface of the substrate, including the coating of chemically different material, with adherent conductive material in a pattern corresponding to that of the set of fingers and the corresponding conductor lands, (iii) removing the chemically different material by selective etching to leave the set of fingers spaced above the substrate, (iv) positioning the die under or over the fingers, as may be required, and (v) uniting the electrode contact areas to their respective fingers.
IN THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 illustrates diagrammatically an enlarged crosssection through a substrate having a die mounted thereon with contact fingers joined to respective contact areas on the upper surfaces of the die;
FIG. 2 illustrates, similarly, a flip-chip embodiment of the invention with the die supported on the contact fingers;
FIGS. 3 and 4 show diagrammatically a plan view and a cross-sectional view of part of a substrate, illustrating one step in a method of manufacture according to the invention;
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a further step in the method of manufacture;
FIGS. 7 and 8, and FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate, similarly, further successive steps in the manufacture of a device according to the invention;
FIG. 11 is an enlarged view in cross-section of part of a die positioned on its substrate below a contact finger prior to the lead being bonded to the die; and
FIG. 12 illustrates, similarly to FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the invention wherein the die is supported on the substrate independently of the contact fingers and wherein respective contact fingers, raised above the substrate are connected to contact areas on both upper and lower surfaces of the die.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION In the embodiment of FIG. 1 a semiconductor die 1 (comprising e.g., silicon) is bonded to a glass or ceramic substrate 2. The die contains regions of differently doped semiconductor material to form one or more junction devices such as transistors or diodes. Contact areas for the electrodes of the device or devices are provided on the upper surface 3 of the die. The present invention is not concerned with the production of the die itself. Typically the die may incorporate but a single semiconductor junction device or, more usually an integrated circuit consisting of several devices such as transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors formed in the basic semiconductor material and interconnected, as may be required, by circuit paths within or on the surface of the die.
The die is provided with a set of contact areas such as 4 and 5 formed at respective different regions of the upper surface 3. Further circuits or circuit components may be carried or formed on the substrate 2. Interconnections between the several electrode areas on the surface 3 and other circuit components or terminals on the substrate 2 are provided by respective contact fingers such as 6 and 7. According to the present invention these contact fingers are made integral with respective conductor lands 8 and 9 bonded to the substrate. They bridge over the edges of the die 1 and their ends are bonded, by thermocompression bonding, welding, or other means common to the art, to the corresponding electrode contact areas.
The length and shape of the fingers between the electrode contact areas and the regions where they join the substrate donductor lands are such as to provide a degree of resilience and compliance which will assist in safeguarding the bonds to the electrode contact areas and to the substrate against thermal and mechanical shock. In the conventional inverted chip device assembly where the chip is bonded directly to its substrate, the fine connecting wires have to be bonded not only to the respective (uppermost) electrode contact areas but also to separate conductor lands formed on the substrate. Thus there is a separate joint at each end of each lead wire. In the present invention one joint of each interconnecting lead is eliminated by the use of contact fingers integral with the substrate conductor lands.
In the device of FIG. 2 contact fingers 10 and 11 are again provided integral with respective conductor lands 8 and '9 bonded to the substrate 2. The ends of the fingers are spaced above the surface of the substrate. In this embodiment, however, the die 1 is flipped over so that its contact areas 4, 5 rest upon the ends of the fingers 10, 11, which are then bonded to the respective contact areas in the normal way.
In flip-chip arrangements heretofore the contact areas on the chip are joined directly to lands bonded throughout their length to the substrate. In the embodiment of the present invention herein illustrated, the ends of the fingers are cantilevered above the surface of the substrate and hence provide a degree of resilience and compliance for the connections to the die 1. If desired, the die 1 may be directly bonded to the substrate 2 at points intermediate the fingers so that the mass of the die is not carried by the contact fingers. Alternatively, as suggested by the illustration of FIG. 2, the die may be supported solely by the contact fingers.
In the manufacture of devices such as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, an area of the substrate, corresponding to the area in which it is desired to have spacing between the substrate and the contact fingers, is coated with a layer 12 of material chemically different both from the substrate 2 and from the material of the contact fingers, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. This chemically different material is later on to be removed by selective etching and hence a suitable material is chosen with this end in view. For a glass substrate and contact fingers formed from gold a suitable material is aluminum which may subsequently be removed by a caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) and potassium bromide solution. The materials may be applied sequentially by glueing or spraying or painting or chemical plating or by vapour deposition or by any other known method.
The next stage of the manufacturing process, illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, is is to coat the substrate 2 and the layer 12 with conductive material which will adhere firmly to the substrate. This coating may conveniently be applied by vapour deposition, plating or screen printing. It may cover the whole of the substrate as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 or, if desired, may be masked off into discrete areas, which areas, however should include any such areas as 12 which are later to be etched away to leave contact fingers supported above the Substrate.
The next stage in the manufacturing process is to subdivide the conductive coating 13 into the desired pattern of conductor lands 14 and integral contact fingers 15, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.
The pattern of conductor lands 14 and contact fingers 15 may be formed by a conventional photoetching process in which the pattern is first printed on the conductor layer 13, the unwanted conductor areas are etched away, and the photoresist on the actual conductor pattern is then removed in conventional manner. It is pointed out that the material of the areas 12 need not necessarily be resistant to the chemicals used in the photoetching process for the production of the conductor pattern.
The lengths of the fingers 15 are made such (if the fingers are to bridge over a die and be bonded to contact areas on the upper surface of the die) that their ends come into correct positions when, eventually, the fingers 15, after removal of the material 12, are bent up from the substrate to accommodate a die.
The next operation depends upon whether a device of the kind illustrated in FIG. 1 or of that illustrated in FIG. 2 is to be provided. Taking the case of a device of the FIG. 1 type, the material 12 is first selectively etched away from the substrate and the overlying contact fingers. A multihead vacuum chuck, nozzles of which are represented at 9 in FIG. 10, is lowered over the fingers 15 and, with vacuum applied, is raised to draw the fingers up above the surface of substrate 2 by a desired amount to permit the semiconductor die to be slid underneath them. As illustrated in FIG. 11, after the die 1 has been slid into position and, if desired, bonded to the substrate 2 as indicated at 16, a finger 6 will lie above a contact area 4 on the die 1. The final operation, insofar as the finger is concerned, is to bond it to the electrode contact area 4, for example by thermocompre sion bonding, and so achieve the connection illustrated in FIG. 1.
For the flip-chip device of FIG. 2, after the conductor land and contact finger pattern represented in FIGS. 7 and 8 has been formed, the remaining stages of fabrication may follow either of two alternative series of steps. In the first of these the die 1 is positioned over the fingers 15 and the electrode contact areas on the die are bonded to their respective fingers by any of the methods used in fabrication of the conventional flipchip device. The material 12 is then selectively etched out from under the fingers 15 after the die has been secured to the fingers.
In the other method of fabrication of a FIG. 2 device, after the stage illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, the material 12 is etched out, leaving the fingers 15 projecting over the surface of the substrate 2. The die 1 is then lowered into position over the fingers and its contact areas are bonded to the respective fingers either simultaneously, as by the application of heat to the die 1, or individually, as by directing a laser beam through the glass of the substrate 2 onto the fingers.
The invention may be used for the case where contact fingers are required both under and over the die. In this case the material 12 is etched out, leaving two sets of fingers, one of which is raised with the help of suction nozzles as described above with reference to FIG. 10; the die is then slid under this set of fingers and over the other, and the fingers are bonded to their respective contact areas as previously described.
Such an arrangement is shown in FIG. 12. In this case the die 1 is secured to the substrate by means of an adhesive area 16 which raises it above the level of contact finger 17, which itself is raised above the surface of the substrate, the finger 12 is bonded to a contact area 5 on the under surface of the die, while another finger 18 is bent up from the substrate and bonded to a contact area 4 on the upper surface of the substrate.
While the principles of the invention have been described above in connection with specific embodiments, and particular modifications thereof, it is to be clearly understood that this description is made only by way of example and not as a limitation on the scope of the invention.

Things I liked:It is great in areas of spot rust as long as the spots are not too large. I have found that I can get the darker finish with multiple coats of the liquid; however, I am still trying different techniques. It does give an initial one-coat deeper finish. Obviously the paste makes more of a mess than the liquid.
Things I would have changed:nothing, except it would be nice if it was less hazardous.
What others should know:Should be already known, but cleaning and preparation is 90 percent of the work. Patience is the remaining.

"KIRKBRIDE is a township, small parish, and village, 6 miles north-by-east from Wigton, and 4 south from Bowness, in the Wigton union, Cumberland ward, Eastern division of the county, archdeaconry and diocese of Carlisle; it is situated on the south side of the estuary of the Wampool. The sandbanks shift, owing to the eddies formed by meetings of the tides and freshes."

Names, Geographical
- There are only two short references to Kirkbride in the National Gazetteer (1868), which is the main source of town and parish descriptions on this site. In the description for Cumberland itself it states:-
"The Sark is for about 6 miles the border-line between Cumberland and Scotland, near Solway Moss. The Wampool and the Waver form one estuary of considerable size. The former flows from the Brocklebank Fells, past Old Carlisle and Wigton. The town of Kirkbride is close to its mouth." And listed under 'Kirkbride' it says:-
"KIRK-BRIDE, or KIRK ST. BRIDGET. See BRIDEKIRK, co. Cumberland." It would appear from this reference that in 1868 Kirkbride was current also as an alias of Bridekirk, although I do not have independent corroboration of this. It is not clear why there was no entry for this village between Bowness (Solway) and Wigton in this otherwise comprehensive Gazetteer.

I would like to commend all of the organizations and individuals who worked to make 2007's "Boo at the Bay" such a success. It was obvious to me by the number of cars and people I saw at and around the Sandusky Bay Pavilion on Saturday that area families were eager to participate in a family friendly event. Even the weather co-operated. What a wonderful time!
The only negative thing I could see about the weekend's events was the lack of people who found their way to the Maritime Museum of Sandusky's version of "Night at the Museum." The Museum was staffed with volunteers dressed in costumes that fit with many of the displays offered. There were several areas set up where children could paint a light house, build wooden boats, make a pirate flag or pour a mold of an animal's foot print. All of the crafts done by the child were then his or hers to take home. This was available for two hours Saturday from 7-9 p.m. I'm sad to say that in that two hour time frame only four kids visited. All four of these kids seemed to be having a great time -- and at no cost to anyone. I truly wish that more had come to see and enjoy what those four did.
I will admit that, although I looked in the paper for an announcement about "Night at the Museum," I did not see it advertised as part of the weekend events. Perhaps I just missed it. If so, perhaps others did too.

So I bought a 14 inch black synthetic western saddle for shadow, been looking forever but they were always too pricey so I finally found this one used. Payed 45$ for it. Got it home, adjusted the stirups to the highest length to start off, and my toes are about 3 inches above the stirup.... Im 5'3 and while the a 15 inch probably wouldve fit better, this one was cheap and in good condition.
So Im looking for stirups (leathers??? LOL), not sure what theyre called on a synthetic, but I need the whole set up from the actual saddle down to the stirup...
If someone has a set that they think may fit and would like to trade, or if they have an old synthetic that they don't think they can get any money for, let me know, maybe we can work something out. Willing to pay, barder (theyre obviously not the origionals from the saddle and are in pretty good condition!) etc..... Ill try to get some pics if anyone is interested in seeing them.
Thanks!! :0)

little fockers. good movie and very funny lol.
Star Wars trilogy......its been on tv all day today and yesterday.
I watched "Exam" on dvd. It's like "Saw" without 95% of the gore. It's definitely an interesting movie if you like psychological thrillers.
This weekend we've watched A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Elf, Scrooged, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, and A Muppet Family Christmas.
We were supposed to see Tangled today, but the blizzard closed the movie theater today. Since we bought the tickets through Fandango, they will honor them another time, so we'll probably hit it sometime this week.
It's a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah...Tip for Today!
We got a few new Blu Ray's from Santa so we've been having a bit of a movie at home marathon over the past few days.
Despicable Me
Just as hilarious and heartwarming as it was in the theater. I LOVE this movie.
Vampires Suck
My wife and daughter keep telling me this is hilarious, but I fell asleep. I'm sure I'll be forced to watch it some other time.
Still my favorite move of the year.
Charlie St. Cloud
I actually enjoyed it. Rather predictable, but still good.
The Wedding Singer
Got the new Blu Ray version, it had a few extra scenes in it. Still a cool movie.

Just saw "The King's Speech". Very good film with outstanding acting. It does start out slow but builds and worth the slow start.
Is it the best film of the year?
As good as the film is I still think that Toy Story 3 was the best film of the year. Toy Story both made me laugh and Cry in the same film. That is what a best picture should do.
The Muppet Christmas Carol - When I went to a friend's place to see her favorite version of A Christmas Carol, I discovered it was one of my fave's too! Hadn't seen it in years, mostly due to stubbornly waiting for Disney to release it on Blu-ray. But that only made seeing it again that much more entertaining. My friend also pointed out her favorite song in the movie, "When Love Is Gone," was cut from the widescreen version. I searched Wikipedia and according to its listing, Jim Henson had it cut from the WS version. If true, I'm really shocked - he pulled a George Lucas! It also said it was still in the Pan and scan version, so that's a bit comforting.
Waking Sleeping Beauty - Got this on Christmas and cracked it open to watch. I guess it's about what I expected, from everything I'd read about it. Nothing I really hadn't known before and nothing really salacious depicted. But it was neat to see it depicted through all that home movie footage and the voiceovers. What I enjoyed most was just picking out all of the Disney talent in the old videos.
The Boys - Another video I got for and watched on Christmas evening. Wow! The situation between the brothers was something I wasn't aware of. So glad I never read any reviews of this, letting me experience genuine shock and suspense as the movie unfolded. I actually watching this twice, when my parents caught just the tail end of my first viewing and wanted to see it again. I was moved a couple of times towards the end during both viewings, their experiences during Walt's passing and Bob's wife's death. Thoroughly captivating doc. Edit: Btw, I forgot to mention a moment I saw in the movie when my two geek worlds collided. That was when video played of the Sherman Brothers working at a piano with John Williams!!! Star Wars/Superman/Indiana Jones composer meets Disney composers, yessiree!!! Never new they'd worked together, and today I ordered their soundtrack to Tom Sawyer from Amazon because of this.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - My brother got this for Christmas, and so I watched it. For some reason, the commercials that played when it was in theatres never hooked me. Perhaps because it seemed like such a Harry Potter-type film and as an HP fan, I was biased against it. But watching it, and then discovering all of the talent who were cast as gods, I was really bummed that what could have/should have been a fantastic movie just fell flat for me. Percy didn't appeal to me, but more than that, the script was just so…lame. It explained the obvious way too often, a real surprise considering who directed this. In the end, I thought it was this generation's Clash of the Titans circa 1981. A good adventure among gods but short of the greatness it was envisioned to be.

I Love You Man - This was a great movie and very funny throughout the whole way. Jason Siegel and Paul Rudd were awesome together and they did a great job of discussing a bro-mance.
Yogi Bear - I went in the movie theater with low expectations, thinking that I would dislike this film as much as the other cartoon adaptation films, but I have to be honest and say that this movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Out of all the cartoon adaptation films, even though it's technically not saying much, I'm not afraid to say that Yogi Bear was the best one. Yeah, I liked it even better than the Flintstones, and even better than that horrific Scooby Doo film. This film is even, in my opinion, the closest to be as faithful as the original cartoon, and unlike the other adaptation films, at least they were trying.
Now I still had major issues with some of the plot elements (like why shut down Jellystone Park even though it's supposed to be federally owned, and the forced relationship between Ranger Smith and Rachael) and there were some iffy cast choices (I felt like Dan could've been better as Yogi and Tom didn't fit for the role of Ranger Smith), but honestly this film isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's not a great film, but it's not as terrible as the other adaptation films that I've watched in the past.
I give this film a 6.5/10
The Illusionist
wonderful animated film. loved it. it was funnier than i expected, and quite depressing actually, lol. i still prefer Triplets of Belleville, but this too is a worthy catch. i recommend it to the animation lovers out there!
KARATE KID (2010) - a sturdy reimagining of the original that should have been called KUNG FU KID. It's strong enough on its own and different enough to be appreciated as such.
BLACK SWAN - Really good stuff. Fascinating from start to finish.

^ I really liked the new "Karate Kid" as well. Can't wait to see Black Swan, looks great.
Watched a couple of older movies yesterday
Love Actually
We didn't get around to watching this before Xmas since the kids can't watch it, so we watched it last night. Such a great movie, may be my favorite Romantic Comedy ever (there are only about 4-5 that I can actually watch).
Catch Me If You Can
Highly underrated movie. Great performances by Leo and Tom Hanks (as usual). It's amazing how many of today's popular actresses were in small roles in this movie such as Ellen Pompeo, Amy Adams, Jennifer Garner and Elizabeth Banks.
CHICKEN LITTLE - I got this bluray free from disney movie rewards and boy, now I remember why I never bothered to buy it in the first place. What a clunker. Can't believe it was only 5 years ago.
A BUG'S LIFE - Pixar's 2nd movie is still funny and still entertaining. And man, the amount of talent in this is amazing. Dave Foley, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Kevin Spacey, Hayden Panettiere, Richard Kind, Brad Garrett, Bonnie Hunt... the list goes on and on.

Your sarcasm is completely misplaced, dabernathy. This is the private sector heartlessly cutting jobs to prepare for the future. New Orleans had the highest percentage of readers reading the paper at home (paper edition) than any city in the U.S. In other words (words that you may understand), Obama and his evildoers didn't sweep into town and ruin this company with taxes to make New Orleans socialist. Rather, the private sector thinks that profit may dwindle with less paper subscriptions in the future, so rather than let their employees become creative under duress and change the format and quality of the paper, the private sector just lays them off to give us a watered-down, dumber version of the paper that will placate our egoistical needs. Gone will be investigative reporting, science coverage (as the flat Earth sinks into the ocean for you and your kind), and detailed looks at political candidates' platforms. I'm sure the Saints coverage will keep you happy, though.
Everyone is a member of our community, and everyone's actions affect the others in the community. You are blind if you don't see that people as stupid as these thugs are not bred from societies where functional education is available to everyone, where the family stands strong, and where respect is earned through action rather than assumed through posture. You, zagreb and thedopelives, like many of the 'good ones' in our community, are guilty by neglect. That's almost as bad as shooting someone, because with your attitude, thugs like this will keep being born every minute into our unchanging community of neglect.
Was George Washington a natural born citizen? How about his parents?
So I guess that caring for mentally ill children is overreaching government control. It takes a village, but I don't want to live in this right-wing village that the United States is becoming. I just don't understand what the government is supposed to do at the behest of my fellow voters. I mean, can't we just look to Somalia for an example of what little to no government involvement in people's lives?
Statistically, I'm flabbergasted by the constancy of those numbers year to year. Taking into account how much this city has changed - new mayor, new police chief, less blight, higher population - we're staying remarkably the same. Thank you for the data muspench.
I think that these data show police enforce the law, but they do not help us each determine whether we are going to follow the law. Those that murder make their decision based on something different than "Who is the police chief?" I think it is the crumbling family unit in our society, and this is happening in other crime-laiden cities across the U.S.A. - Chicago, Philly, Detroit, Miami, LA, etc.
That all leads to one question: How are you helping to change the situation?
Well, this will be old news once Jindal is done overhauling education in LA. Now that we are investing so much more tax dollars into the system, LA will be a beacon for high paying tech jobs.
Wait, my crack pipe went out...
I like your idea. Screw liability - that screws up too many good ideas. New Orleans does have an excellent and unique housing stock, and it is tremendously sad to see it rotting away in places.
Lakeview - you're right. It's just like the shut-off valve in the Macondo well. That was an easy fix.
I am a scientist and was against the expenditure to build these berms. I am surprised they lasted this long, but yes, emiroalgiers, geologic processes take a long time to carry out. Most of the berms along the Chandeleurs chain were borrowed from directly seaward of the islands. This effectively makes the slope higher and speeds up natural flattening of this pile of sediments. In the other example, where coarser grains from the river were taken to make the berms, may have a more positive effect and may have more staying power.
On that note, this borrowing of river sediment should be done for our deteriorating wetlands.
Thank you for that information Jaywhyyy -
Katy Reckdahl - Why doesn't the press do the kind of research that Jaywhyyy probably did in 15 minutes? Why don't you inform us how our elected officials are cheating us? Where is the zeal to find the truth? Instead, this article parrots someone in a position where they have to put a positive spin on the situation because they can probably be pressured out by Jindal and his henchmen. Where is the depth to your coverage?
I wonder how that investment will pay dividends for we the taxpayers. Maybe sympatheticthug can help us figure it out.
Cool. Maybe you can help me calculate how much education pays for itself. No one in the government seems to care, and now they are sending our taxes to private schools.
I can't - they stopped the shuttle program.
We have no business nation building in space, or in low Earth orbit. This is an unnecessary government expenditure that disproportionately benefits poor people that don't pay as much taxes as I do. Besides, there is a private company that can do what the Space Shuttle did even better now. Time to get out of this business. Waste of taxpayer money.
Moral: Although some taxes have been wasted through graft and corruption, they also funded us to be the greatest nation of the 20th century. As we tighten our collective wallet in the 21st century, it remains to be seen who will fill that void. Hell, we won't have anyone educated enough to launch a rocket in 2025 the way we are shooting our feet with education spending cuts.
Interesting point. But I believe in justice, and these self defense laws repeatedly seem to allow bad people to claim self-defense and continue to walk free. I don't think we should all be armed to reduce violence like the people that are keeping the arms trade alive and well in this country - the NRA.
You have to draw the line between drug lord violence, guerilla type violence, and thug-like violence. We are the only industrialized nation that imported slaves and has a class of gun-toting individuals that would engage in a gunfight in a developed country in broad daylight. Think a little bit - that is the type of random violence, insidiously part of our rich and developed life, that is due to centuries of racism.
In France, when they revolted (based on our own revolution), they instantaneously freed their slaves. They didn't simply write that "all men have certain unalienable rights and amongst them are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness...," on some piece of paper without actually enacting what they wrote. One could say they copied our revolution, but that they were less hypocritical.
You are an idiot.
Nice example - South Africa. That is the only country with a more racist history than ours. And the black majority was not kidnapped and brought there.
Also Arabs are not Africans. You are not intelligent. People like you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Where have I been in the Americas? Bahamas, Honduras, Antigua, Jamaica, St. Vincent, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Tobago, Trinidad, French Guiana, Costa Rica. All of those countries and departments had a history of a colonial power importing slaves from Africa. None of them have the violence we do. So....shut up. Seriously, just shut up and educate yourself.
People say that the POTUS is a dictator and trounces on the Constitution because he doesn't look like them. They also have no understanding of the Constitution, as evidenced by their failure to use examples from the Constitution to back up their arguments. Even if they type in ALL CAPS, they are really not worth listening to.
To binnola3 and all those that thought "this was different," so long as we vote for people that are tied to the two governmental corporations, Democrats and Republicans, and/or those with family ties to government (Kennedy, Clinton, Bush, Landrieu), we will get what we deserve. We will get a leading class that looks down at the voters, that tries to ensure their perpetuity in office by undereducating the masses, and that lines their pockets with our money or money that was destined to help us. We need to wake up.

UBS is friendly, family run scuba dive center, with the emphasis on privacy and safety...
Take a few minutes to find out how it all started. UBS Dive Center is staffed by highly qualified professional divers with years of experience and teaching behind them.
Tony Brunn arrived in the British Virgin Islands on February 20th 1991. He carried a backpack of clothes and dive gear, a guitar in one hand and a dive tank in the other. He had $600 in his pocket. Tony went straight to a small island called Jost Van Dyke where his friend lived at the time. This friend lived in a cement hut with no running water or electricity. Tony explored the surrounding reefs and worked odd jobs for three months. When the work ran out he then moved to St. John where Tony found his way to Coral Bay and lived on an old catamaran owned by a local dive shop. He made a living selling lobsters and doing odd jobs for the local watersports company. His break came when he heard that one of the big, established dive companies in the BVI was looking for a dive instructor. After thirty days of exile Tony returned to the BVI's and began full time work as an instructor.
While on a dive excursion on April 25, 1994 a woman named Kathryn Bell was among the 15 or so tourists diving that day. She claims to have fallen in love with Tony while watching him carefully replace a Banded Coral Shrimp back in its sponge. Kathryn has never lived in England since. She took up an offer of employment with another established Dive Company and stayed in the BVI. Tony and Kate were married in England in June of 1999.
In 1995 Tony began doing commercial diving services for the charter companies as well as continuing to work as a Dive Instructor. Hull cleaning, inspections, propeller replacements and mooring installations was his daily grind. By the beginning of 1996 he began doing this full time with the formulation of Underwater Boat Services and Maintenance Limited. Following the acquisition of the 20 foot inflatable Reef Explorer in 1997, Kathryn quit her job and they both concentrated on Underwater Boat Services. For the next two years they built their business the hard way, with commercial work for Tony, and the occasional dive charter for Kathryn, where she would be a private Instructor living aboard a large crewed yacht for a week to teach the guests to dive. In 1998 a dive compressor and a small line of dive equipment was bought. Finally they could do what they always wanted, allocate each group of family and friends their own private dive boat for the day. They operated from the backyard of a friend's house in Sea Cows Bay.
In 1999 they purchased their second boat, a 25 Foot Sea Craft named Reef Dancer. Now they were able to offer trips beyond the rendezvous service. It was time to find a permanent home. In December 1999 Underwater Boat Services moved to a storefront property at the new marina in East End called Harbour View. It was chosen for it's central location. From the Harbour View location Tony and Kathryn could access over 100 dive sites and operate the largest rendezvous service area of any dive operator. The business name was changed to UBS Dive Center at this time. By mid 2000 UBS had grown to include two more experienced instructors and its inventory tripled to offer equipment rentals, retail sales, repairs, air fills and a full line of accessories. In mid-2004, they placed an order for a brand new Baha Cruiser, fitted out to UBS specifications as a first-class dive boat. The boat was manufactured in Florida and delivered to Tortola in December of '04 and christened Reef Chief. This third boat has allowed UBS to better serve more divers as they have had the pleasure of many divers returning time and again to experience the great diving in the BVI and re-new friendships with the UBS staff.
Although the road is long, Tony and Kate have a lot more planned for UBS. Their undoubted success comes from recognising that diving is an individual experience and requires a unique approach for each diver.
The important question is: what do you want to do today? Your response determines the plans for the day.
