This is related to U.S. patent application No. 08/963,325 filed Nov. 3, 1997, which is assigned to the current assignee hereof and is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates generally to semiconductor manufacturing, and more particularly to forming a semiconductor device with a lithographic mask.
One goal of semiconductor fabrication is to increase the density of active elements provided on an integrated circuit. In order to accomplish this, ongoing investigation in advanced lithography is underway to decrease the critical dimensions of active elements used to form these integrated circuits. Current lithography uses energy sources that include i-line at 365 nanometers and deep ultra-violet (DUV) at 248 nanometers to pattern substrate features. Decreasing the wavelength of the energy source allows for the formation of photoresist features having smaller critical dimensions.
Accordingly, smaller wavelength energy sources are being developed as alternatives to conventional lithography. These include x-ray, ion projection, extreme ultra-violet (EUV) at 13.4 nanometers, and scattering with angular limited projection in electron-beam lithography (SCALPEL).
SCALPEL and x-ray lithography masks are formed of attenuating elements overlying thin membranes. The membrane thickness of a SCALPEL mask is typically in range of 100-150 nanometers and the membrane thickness of an x-ray ray mask is typically in a range of 2000-5000 nanometers. Cleaning such masks is relatively difficult and presents numerous problems. Conventional wet chemical processes do not adequately remove particles without reacting with or damaging the mask. Physical agitation, such as ultrasonic agitation, is generally undesirable because of the delicate nature of the membranes. Other cleaning techniques, such as dry laser cleaning and frozen ice cleaning, are likely to be ineffective at adequately cleaning the masks, particularly when attempting to remove particles between patterned mask features.
Conventional lithography has adopted the use of pellicles to protect masks from particles and to prevent the imaging of defects onto the semiconductor substrate. However, the use of pellicles in SCALPEL and x-ray lithography is problematic. The pellicle increases the thickness of material through which the energy must pass, thereby reducing throughput and increasing chromatic aberration. Additionally, contaminants or particles deposited on pellicles used in SCALPEL and x-ray lithography may nevertheless be imaged onto the resist, unlike in conventional lithography.
Development in the field of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has been underway for several years. The particularities of commonly formed SAMs are disclosed in technical literature, including "Formation and Structure of Self-Assembled Monolayers", by Abraham Ulman, Chemical Reviews, Vol 96, 4, (1996) 1532-1544, and "An Introduction to Ultrathin Organic Films: From Langmuir-Blodgett to Self-Assembly" by Abraham Ulman, Academic Press, Inc., Boston (1991) 237-304, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the accompanying figures, in which like references indicate similar elements, and in which:
FIG. 1 includes an illustration of a cross section of a mask used for SCALPEL processing;
FIG. 2 illustrates the mask of FIG. 1 and further includes the formation of a self-assembled monolayer overlying portions of the mask;
FIG. 3 illustrates the mask of FIG. 2 and further includes defects overlying the mask and on the self-assembled monolayer;
FIG. 4 illustrates the mask of FIG. 2 and further includes a self-assembled monolayer formed overlying top and bottom portions of the mask;
FIG. 5 includes an illustration of a cross-sectional view of a SCALPEL system during an exposure processing step;
FIG. 6 includes an illustration of a cross-sectional view of a portion of a semiconductor device substrate prior to performing a SCALPEL exposure processing step;
FIG. 7 includes an illustration of a cross-sectional view of the substrate of FIG. 6 after performing a SCALPEL patterning processing step; and
FIG. 8 includes an illustration of a cross-sectional view of the substrate of FIG. 7 after forming a substantially completed device.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, elements illustrated in the figures have not necessarily been drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements in the figures are exaggerated relative to other elements to help to improve understanding of embodiment(s) of the present invention. Further, where considered appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements.
Embodiments of the present invention discuss the use masks having membranes and attenuating elements and a method of using these masks for forming semiconductor devices. Examples of attenuating elements include the scattering elements used in SCALPEL and the attenuating elements used in x-ray lithography. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, a passivating layer is formed overlying portions of the mask, and the mask is used to pattern features on a semiconductor device substrate.
FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention and includes a mask 200 used for performing SCALPEL processing. Included in FIG. 1 are a substrate 102, a bottom layer 100, a membrane layer 104, and scattering elements 108. Substrate 102 is generally formed of monocrystalline silicon, but may also be formed of other materials. Substrate 102 is processed using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) processing to form a bottom layer 100 underlying a secondary surface of the substrate 102, and a membrane layer 104 overlying a primary surface of the substrate 102. In one embodiment, layers 100 and 104 are silicon nitride. Alternatively, layers 100 and 104 may be formed of other materials, using other CVD techniques, as determined by those of ordinary skill in the art. Typically, the membrane layer is formed using elements having atomic numbers less than approximately 20.
A scattering layer is formed overlying the membrane layer 104. Typically, the scattering layer is formed using elements having an atomic number greater than approximately 72, such as tungsten, titanium, tantalum, tungsten silicide, titanium silicide, tantalum silicide, gold, and the like. The scattering layer is patterned and etched using a conventional etch process to form the scattering elements 108, as illustrated in FIG. 1. The bottom layer 100 is patterned and etched using a conventional nitride etch process to form an opening 103 in bottom layer 100. Portions of the substrate 102 are then removed to define a window portion 109. Functional portions of a representative SCALPEL mask are illustrated by the structure shown in FIG. 1.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 further illustrates the mask in FIG. 1, and now includes a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) 220 formed overlying the patterned scattering layer 108 and the membrane layer 104. The term monolayer herein refers to a film having an thickness approximately equal to a length of a single atom or molecule. The SAM 220 is typically a thin 1-5 nanometer organic layer that is adsorbed onto the surfaces of the membrane layer 104 and scattering layer 108. It generally has a structure that includes three portions, (1) a surface active head group that interacts with the surface of the mask, (2) an intermediate group that forms the chain of the molecule, and (3) an air-monolayer interface group that stabilizes the SAM 220.
SAM formation results from a molecular-substrate interaction in which the head group of the molecule is pinned to specific sites on the substrate surface via a chemical bond. In the case of a alkyltrichlorosilanes on hydroxylated or oxidized surfaces, a covalent Si—O bond is formed. After the molecules have been put in place on the surface of the substrate, the formation of orderly and closely packed alkyl chains begins, which is the intermediate portion of the molecule. The Van der Waals interactions between the alkyl chains are the main attractive forces in the case of the intermediate portions of the molecule. The third molecular component is the terminal functionality, which in the case of a simple alkyl chain is a methyl (CH3) group.
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the entire surface of the mask is coated with a SAM. This may be accomplished in the presence of a native or a thermally grown oxide so as to provide appropriate nucleation sites for the SAM. In one embodiment, the outermost surface of the mask has an oxide component, either a native oxide or a purposely formed oxide, such as a thermal oxide or the like. Accordingly, the membrane layer 104, which is formed of silicon nitride, has a thin outer layer of silicon dioxide, and the scattering layer 108, which is formed of tantalum, has a thin outer layer of tantalum oxide. As noted above, the scattering layer may be formed of other materials, such as tantalum, tantalum silicide, tungsten, tungsten silicide, etc. The oxide layers are in a range of approximately 1-4 nanometers thick and provide an appropriate interface to which the SAM 220 adsorbs.
In one embodiment, the surface active head group of the SAM 220 is an organosilicon derivative. Additionally, the surface active head group of the SAM 220 may be any molecule that has been shown to self-assemble into a monolayer on a surface, including organic carboxylic and hydroxamic acids, organosulfur materials, organoselenium materials, alkyl materials, organophosphate materials, organoamine materials, organo-germanium materials, organosulphonate materials, and the like. Within the group of organosilicon derivatives, alkylchlorosilanes, alkylalkoxysilanes, alkylaminosilanes, and the like may be used to form self-assembled monolayers on the mask.
In a typical procedure, the substrate is placed into a solution of 10 (mM) millimolar octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODT) at room temperature (20° C.) for 1.5 hours (The 10 mM solution of ODT is prepared by dissolving 0.39 milliliter of ODT in 100 milliliter of an anhydrous aprotic solvent, such as hexadecane, immediately prior to use). After approximately 1.5 hours, the substrate is rinsed with hexane, ethanol, distilled water, and finally dried in a stream of nitrogen. During adsorption, the silicon component of the octadecyltrichlorosilane reacts with the oxidized surface to form a network of Si—O—Si bonds. The result is a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) in which the molecules are connected both to each other and to the substrate surface by chemical bonds.
FIG. 2 includes an illustration of the previously described self-assembled monolayer (SAM) 220 overlying the membrane 104 and the scattering layer 108. The self-assembled monolayer 220 is formed using a spin-on technique. Alternatively, the SAM 220 may be formed using an immersion, a solution deposition, a vapor deposition, or a micro-contact printing technique. The SAM is formed overlying the mask such that the transmission of the electron beam (e.g., 75-150 KeV) through the mask is relatively unobstructed. This is accomplished using self-assembled monolayers having low atomic number elements (less than approximately 20), such as silicon, carbon, oxygen, and the like, and thicknesses of less than approximately 10 nanometers. Typically, the thickness of the SAM is in a range of approximately 1.5-6.0 nanometers. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the SAM 220 is formed of a material that has an electron scattering power that is less than that of the scattering layer 108, due to differences in the atomic weight of the respective materials. The SAM 220 also has an electron scattering power that may be the same or different than that of the membrane layer 104.
FIG. 3 illustrates the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, after repeated use, such that defects 325 (particles) are present on the mask. As previously discussed, these defects are highly undesirable and should be removed. According to embodiments of the present invention, the defects 325 may be removed using various techniques. In one embodiment, the particles are removed from the SAM 220 using a dry cleaning process that leaves the SAM 220 intact. Examples of these include a dry laser cleaning process, a frozen ice cleaning process, or the like. In this embodiment, dry cleaning effectively removes the defects 325 because there is a weaker attractive force or bond between the defects 325 and the SAM 220 or between the terminal and intermediate portions of the SAM, as compared to the force of attraction that would otherwise be present between the defects 325 and the membrane 108 (i.e., an unprotected mask). As an additional benefit, the SAM 220 may be a buffer layer during cleaning and thus prevent damage to the scattering layer 108 and the membrane 104.
The SAM 220 may not always present on the mask while the mask is being used to expose the substrate. In some cases, it may be desirable to remove the particles 325 and the SAM 220 prior to using the mask. The removal can done using either a plasma, a wet chemical, or a thermal process. In the case of a plasma process, an oxygen-containing plasma is used to remove the SAM 220. In the case of a wet chemical processes, an acidic solution may be used to dissolve the SAM 220. For example, in the case of the organosilicon SAM 220 above, the SAM 220 and particles 325 can be removed using a solution of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide (piranha). After the defects and SAM 220 have been removed, the mask is dried using conventional drying techniques and is then ready for use, storage, or reapplication of the SAM 220. In each case however, the mask is free of particles as a result of performing the cleaning operation.
FIG. 4 includes another embodiment illustrating the formation of a SAM overlying the mask. In this embodiment, the self-assembled monolayer is formed overlying both the top and bottom surfaces of the mask 200. The SAM 220 is formed on the top surface of the mask overlying the scattering layer and membrane layer, and a SAM 420 is formed on a bottom surface of the mask underlying portions of the bottom layer 100, the substrate 102, and the membrane layer 104. This is accomplished using the immersion technique referenced previously. The presence of the SAM overlying portions of the bottom side of the mask facilitates its cleaning, and in some cases, may prevent damage from occurring to bottom portions of the mask 200.
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the SAM covered mask is used in a projection E-beam lithography tool 50 as illustrated in FIG. 5. Electron beams (radiation), as illustrated with arrows 52, are directed toward the mask 200. The mask includes the membrane 104, scattering elements 108, and SAM 220 (not shown) as previously described in FIG. 2. The radiation 52 passes relatively unobstructed through portions of the mask comprising the membranes 104 and the SAM 220 as illustrated by the unscattered electron beam 51. In areas of the mask where scattering elements are present, the radiation 52 is scattered as illustrated by scattered electron beam 53. The electron beams 51 and 53 are then focused by lens 55 and pass through aperture 56 before reaching the semiconductor device substrate 62. The unscattered electron beam 51 passes through the aperture 56 relatively unobstructed to expose the resist layer 69 coated over the semiconductor substrate 62. Only a relatively small portion of the scattered electron beam 53 passes through the aperture 56. This small portion is incapable of substantially exposing the resist layer 69. This results in the formation of high-contrast images on a semiconductor device substrate 62.
FIGS. 6-8 further illustrate the manufacture of a semiconductor device substrate using a scattering with angular limited projection in electron-beam lithography (SCALPEL) mask. FIG. 6 illustrates a partially completed semiconductor device 59 and includes a substrate 62 with field isolation regions 64. Further included in FIG. 6 are a gate dielectric layer 66, a conductive layer 68, and a photoresist layer 69 overlying the substrate 62. FIG. 7 shows the partially completed semiconductor device after forming a gate electrode 71 from the conductive layer 68 using the system illustrated in FIG. 5.
The processing of substrate 62 continues until a substantially completed semiconductor device 80 is formed as shown in FIG. 8. The semiconductor device 80 now includes doped regions 82, an interlevel dielectric layer 84, a contact plug 86, an interconnect 88, and a passivation layer 89.
Using embodiments of the present invention, many problems associated with the prior art are overcome. For example, the manufacturability of devices with smaller features is improved because the likelihood of printing defects from the SCALPEL mask onto the substrate is reduced. The use of a SAM facilitates the removal of the particles from the mask. Removal of particles prior to patterning the semiconductor device substrate reduces the likelihood of imaging the defects from the mask onto the semiconductor device substrate during the exposure process. Additionally, SAMs provide the mask with protection during cleaning and allow for effective mask cleaning using milder cleaning conditions. Therefore, the cleaning process is less likely to undesirably etch, corrode, or damage surfaces of the mask, including the scattering layer and the membrane layer.
The mask described above may alternatively be used in x-ray lithographic processes. In this case, the scattering elements are replaced by absorbing elements. In both cases, the scattering elements and the absorbing elements overlie a membrane layer less than approximately 10 microns thick and form a medium used to define patterned resist features on the semiconductor device substrate. In both cases, the SAM may be used to facilitate the cleaning of the mask to remove particles and contaminants.
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art appreciates that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. Accordingly, the specification and figures are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of present invention. Further advantages and benefits of specific embodiments should not be construed to apply to those particular embodiments, and any particular advantage or benefit should not be construed as an essential element for any or all the claims. In the claims, means-plus-function clause(s), if any, cover the structures described herein that perform the recited function(s). Benefits and advantages tied to embodiments are not requirements of the claims. Problems and solutions to embodiments and any solution to a problem is not necessarily a requirement or essential feature or element.

Dan in points to boost Stags
Posted: November 13, 2012|
Huntingdon 23 Newbold on Avon 17 - RFU Midlands Intermediate Cup, third round
Dan Malem weighed in with the bulk of Huntingdon's points as they overcame a tricky hurdle to reach the next round of the Intermediate Cup.
Tad Chapman touched down the first score, hitting the perfect line at pace from full-back to score beneath the posts and Malem added the conversion before kicking a penalty. However, Old Cooperians were level at the break.
Two further penalties from Malem and Ben Strangeways' try after a sustained spell of pressure put Huntingdon further ahead before the visitors pulled back a converted touch down.
"It was a very different performance," said coach Damien Whales. "They asked some very different questions of us that we've not come up against before, they were very abrasive.
"They were a good side but we weathered any storm they came up with. It was a huge step forward as a team, as the physicality was different to what we had faced before. It required a different set of skills and we kept going forward, so it was very pleasing.
"The last five to 10 minutes we were under real pressure facing up to 10 scrums in a row under the posts where they were hammering us - and we held out."
He added: "It was an outstanding performance from Rory Parker and James Thorp. They were the difference really."

In recent times, young adults in Africa, Nigeria in particular, have catch on the western phenomenon of Tattoo. But interestingly, Tattoo is not new to Africa.
What is Tattoo?
A Mark made on a person or a part of the body with an indelible design by inserting pigment into punctures in the skin.
Tattoo in Africa
People communicate information about themselves by the clothes they wear and the way they adorn their bodies. In Africa, body decoration and dress may offer clues to a person's age, ethnic group, region, social position, and even political opinions. Africans have been decorating themselves with paint or pigment since at least 4000 B.C., when people in SUDAN used ocher* as a cosmetic. Ancient Egyptians used cosmetics as well, enhancing their lips and cheeks with red coloring. Men, women, and children in EGYPT wore eye paint, or kohl, on both their upper and lower eyelids. In addition to being considered beautiful, kohl helped protect the eyes from insects and the glare of the sun.
Body paint also functions as a sign of social status and ethnic background and as part of many African rituals*. Turkana men in KENYA cake their hair with clay and red coloring to celebrate a successful hunt or the end of planting. In many parts of the continent, decorating the body with white clay represents spirituality. Ceremonies marking a new stage in life often involve body painting. Young Dan women from IVORY COAST, for example, paint themselves with bold geometric patterns during rituals that mark the passage from girlhood to womanhood.
For many years, people throughout Africa have created permanent Tattoo Designs (or body decorations) by scarification, or making small cuts in the skin. As they heal, these minor wounds form scars. The procedure is usually performed during childhood, and the patterns and designs of the scarification are often similar to those used in a group's pottery and sculpture. Both men and women bear these scars, usually on the face, torso, thigh, or upper arm.
Tribal Tattoo/Scarification/Body Adornment
African Tattoos (or Scarification) carry special meanings. Certain scars on the foreheads of men in the IGBO region of Nigeria, for example, indicate high social rank. In some cultures, scarification is believed to make a person more beautiful or to provide magical or protective benefits. Because various peoples have developed distinctive styles of scarification, scars may also identify the wearer as a member of a particular ethnic group.
Tribal Among the Yoruba
While some writers are of the opinion that prior to the late nineteenth century, the people now called Yoruba were divided into multiple opposing ethnicities. Ethnic wars displaced millions of people, including about a million Yoruba-speakers deported as slaves to the Americas, Sierra Leone, and the central Sudan, mostly between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. As the Yoruba-speaking exiles encountered other groups in the diaspora, they found similarities in their cultures and through a process of ethnogenesis created the Nago and Lucumi (Americas) and Aku, later Yoruba (Sierra Leone) nations, into which later Yoruba and several non-Yoruba-speaking slaves were incorporated. After the cessation of the Atlantic slave trade, repatriated of ex-slaves, Christian missionaries, and British colonialists introduced and marketed these diasporic ethnic designations to people left in the home.
Some other studies say that the scarification came as a rusult of the incesant wars in the ancient Yoruba kingdom, a form of ethnic identification had to be introduced.
Tribal Tattoo in Housa
The desire to beautify one's body, which man acquires early in life, is not less keen in the Fulani nomads, despite their hard and unsettled mode of life. That they pay much attention to their personal appearance is evident not only in the ways they bedeck their bodies, but also from the mirror which is sewn into a leather wallet and always hung like a jewel from round their necks on their chests so that they can check up on their appearance from time to time. It is used by both men and women in their adolescence and early manhood.
This desire for personal ornamentation or beautification is, among the Nigerian Fulani nomads, satisfied and fulfilled mainly in their coiffure, body markings and the use of jewellery. Body painting which is purported to be used by the Fulani in general during important festivities such as "geerewol", their songs and dance display or "sharo", their male youths' test of endurance, if the latter is ever applicable to the Fulani nomads in Nigeria, seems to have been discontinued. Their women, however, colour their feet and hands with henna like the women of other ethnic groups in Nigeria. The elaborate dress which their sedentary neighbours living in urban centres take pride in displaying in various styles and materials also seem not to be of much use to them as aids to body adornment; being too cumbersome for their nomadic life.
However, it is conclusive that Tattoo is an integral part of the African tradition

Keith Duggin
GALLATIN — A Gallatin High School assistant football coach has been arrested after police say he had a sexual relationship with an underage former student.
Keith Duggin, 28, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with two counts of aggravated statutory rape relating to two sexual encounters that occurred at his Gallatin apartment this summer with a 17-year-old who graduated from the school in May. Police say the two had sexual intercourse twice.
"Once she told a couple of her friends, it started getting talked about among the students," Gallatin Police Department spokesman Bill Storment said. "Then one of the teachers found out about it and reported it to the school resource officer."
Investigators located Duggin, a history teacher who has been employed by Sumner County Schools since 2012, at football practice on Wednesday. During an interview, Duggin "confessed to the allegations" corroborating the former student's story, according to an arrest affidavit.

I can totally understand feigning death to escape from a horrific family life, organized crime or a group of extremists with an irrational vendetta. But fake your own demise in order to get out of playing a video game? Really?
Hello Drama Mamas,
I'm not sure if anyone else who plays WoW has this same problem, but I unfortunately do. I've had two WoW friends "die" then come back after a few months with the stories of: "My cousin stole my computer and told people I died," and "My parents took away my internet and told my friends I died." Now I have another WoW friend who died this past summer. I believed this death with the details his brother was giving, until I started to get outside friend requests from my friend's name.
Is there a point where we should just stop believing the stories of friends dying in WoW without outside proof? Should I mourn and then be happy when they suddenly reappear? Thank you for any advice you give.
Doubtful Mourner
Drama Mama Robin: Maybe your friends are Forsaken: killed and then reanimated to serve the Dark Lady. That would be so cool. I guess it's more likely that they are young (in age and/or maturity) and have that ridiculous notion that people on the internet aren't real people. That is completely uncool.
If either of those stories is even remotely true, what kind of parents are letting cousins steal computers or telling their kids' friends that they are dead? Parents need to be more aware of what online games are and that those words on the screen belong to real people with real feelings.
/end rant
Seriously though, the likelihood of either story being true is low. "My family member got on my computer and did X" is the new "dog ate my homework." With maturity comes the knowledge that people make mistakes, you're not going to die from embarrassment, and there are considerate ways to get out of something while still respecting your privacy. What I think happens in most of these faux death cases is that something embarrassing happens to keep the "dead" player from playing WoW for a while. Fauxdeadguy doesn't want to explain, nor does he want to deal with people bugging him to come back. So he severs all ties by claiming death. (There's also the side "bonus" of logging onto the guild forums and reading all the shock and undeserved sympathy.) What can possibly be more embarrassing than faking a death? Well, they don't think these things through, but here are some circumstances people may not want to relate:
- Deadforattention lost gaming privileges due to parental displeasure (grades, bad behavior, other responsible parenting decisions).
- Deathisfunny lost his job and can't afford it any more. (Losing a job is pretty humiliating, even if it isn't your fault.)
- Igotbetter's computer broke and he can't afford to fix it yet. (This is actually the only reason The Spousal Unit stopped playing Asheron's Call 2 long enough to ask me out on a date. Trivia you didn't want to know.)
- Nobodycaresaboutme hit on and/or harrassed a guildie and got turned down flat. Now he doesn't want to deal with the story getting around.
"I have to take a break from WoW. Good luck, everyone, and I'll see you in a few months, hopefully!"
This covers all issues above, plus reasons like just wanting to leave the game until the expansion, or taking a break to get your studies in order, or deciding to play Civ full time. (Just one more turn!) And if people do bug you about why and whatever, you don't have to be specific. You can use any of the following clichés (most of which I solicited/stole from Twitter and work chat):
- Real life is kicking my butt.
- I've got life aggro.
- My internet provider sucks.
- RL crit me for X number.
- My free time is on cooldown.
- I need to grind RL rep.
- Work/school has nerfed me.
- I'm going out for a pack of cigarettes. (I'm kidding about this one, though my great-grandfather said that to my great-grandmother and never came back. More trivia you didn't want to know.)
Doubtful, I guess none of this answers your question. But I have a question for you: Would you rather feel like a fool when your friend comes back from the dead, or feel like an insensitive jerk when you demand proof of death and it's provided? I say just accept the news and then hope silently that it isn't true. When the ghoul does return, however, I wouldn't count him as someone to trust or rely upon. Have you thought about switching guilds to one less prone to the sudden death of its members? I'm just sayin'.
Drama Mama Lisa: Ah, maturity ... At a certain point, playing with friends who treat every turn of events as an opportunity to roleplay a poorly scripted YouTube saga just isn't fun anymore. That's when you start casting glances at one another and wondering, "Am I the only one around here who thinks this just sounds ... blatantly ridiculous?"
To answer your question rather bluntly: Yes, there is in fact a point at which you should stop believing the tales of death. Three incidents? That's probably one more than I would have given this particular group of friends. As to whether you should demand proof of death or mourn their passing, I think I'd be more inclined to allow them to mourn your own passing -- as you pass right into a guild that's more about playing and less about teh dr4mz.
... Unless, of course, you're willing to tolerate the constant drama drip in order to play with folks you consider to be friends. If that's the case, you've received a clear signal to ignore the antics of your Forsaken friends and carry on with life -- after all, that's exactly what those who've been mysteriously claimed by the Dark Lady are so obviously doing for themselves.
Drama buster of the week
On the other side of this issue are the Nosy Nellies. If a guildie says he has to take a break from WoW or your server or whatever, you don't need to know all the details. If you wish to reach out and provide support as needed, whisper, "If you want to talk about it or if you ever need to chat, let me know!" That way, if the guildie does need a shoulder, he knows you're there. If he would rather just be private about it, he doesn't need to make up some excuse to be left alone. And just say it once, please. Repeating your offer will just turn into an unwelcome nag.
Dodge the drama and become that player everyone wants in their group with a little help and insight from the Drama Mamas. Remember, your mama wouldn't want to see your name on any drama. Play nice ... and when in doubt, ask the Drama Mamas at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The only missing ingredient in Red Bull's 2014 world title arsenal is a state-of-the-art engine to enable to compete at the front and mount a serious campaign to claim a fifth successive title.
That is the view of billionaire team owner Dietrich Mateschitz, who told the Austrian news agency APA on Tuesday that Red Bull's only alternative to struggling supplier Renault would be for the team to build its own engine.
Asked if all of Red Bull's current problems are in the area of Renault's new turbo V6 'Power Unit', Mateschitz answered: "Yes. I think our car is once again 'state of the art', but in order to prove this, it also needs a perfect Power Unit in terms of hardware and software."
Even in the midst of the reigning quadruple world champion team's successes, the relationship between Red Bull and Renault has often been strained.
Given the problems now, Mateschitz was asked by APA if Red Bull sees any alternatives to working with the French marque.
"Probably just to make an engine ourselves," he answered.
However, Mateschitz said that he is confident that Red Bull can quickly catch Formula 1's currently dominant team, Mercedes.
"I am confident this process will be fast and we can catch up to Mercedes by the third race," the 69-year-old said ahead of the second race of 2014, Malaysia. "There is no reason to think that [winning the 2014 title] is not still our goal."
Mateschitz even tipped Sebastian Vettel – who has shown signs of frustration in 2014 so far – to ride out the storm with Red Bull.
"For four and a half of his five years with us, Sebastian has had a car with which he can win," he said. "He has more than enough character, professionalism and loyalty to overcome this phase together with the team." (GMM)

Jupiter's moon Europa is just as far away as ever, but new research and enhanced remote sensing techniques are bringing scientists closer to being able to explore its tantalizing ice-covered ocean and determine its potential for harboring life.
New models and research of the moon's surface, internal ocean and deeper interior, and improved understanding of probing techniques, such as radar, are providing a new view on how best to explore this water world in the future.
Refined methods can use combined measurements of gravity and the magnetic field made from orbit to characterize Europa's ocean. These measurements include how thick or thin the ice is over the ocean and how salty the ocean may be.
Sophisticated reprocessing of data from NASA's Galileo mission has revealed new information about the chemistry of Europa's surface. A new model shows that radiation on Europa is much less than previous models predicted, making the environment much more hospitable for orbiting spacecraft or landers to operate.
Future explorations of Europa will benefit from lessons learned from the Cassini spacecraft's recent findings of active geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus.
Researchers are also preparing for a time in the future when they will be able to get to Europa's surface and ultimately into its ocean to explore it directly.

Taxpayers that own assets for business purposes may use depreciation, a type of income tax deduction, to recover the cost of assets that will lose value due to wear and tear, deterioration and/or obsolescence. Understanding how to account for depreciation and how to categorize your assets can lead to significant tax advantages.
Meeting the Requirements for Depreciation
With the exception of land, most tangible assets are depreciable. Even intangible property like patents or software can be written off as depreciations. In order to take advantage of depreciation as an income tax deduction, your assets will need to meet certain requirements:
- You must own the asset or be deducting for capital improvements to a property you are leasing.
- The asset must be used for income-producing purposes. If the asset is used for personal purposes as well, you must take this into account when calculating depreciation to make sure personal use is not included in your deduction.
- The asset must be useful for more than one year.
There are many designations for depreciation. For assets that aren't real estate, the most common categories are three-year property, which includes some farming and manufacturing equipment and livestock, five-year property, which includes computers, office equipment, automobiles and construction materials, and seven-year property, which includes office furniture and appliances.
For real estate, residential properties depreciate over 27.5 years and commercial buildings over 39 years. You may write off land improvements, such as landscaping over periods of 10, 15 or 20 years, depending on the asset.
Straight-Line vs. Accelerated Depreciation
There are a number of ways to calculate the depreciation of your assets, and each has different advantages and disadvantages you will want to take into account. A depreciation calculator can be a helpful tool in determining an actual number.
Straight-line depreciation is the simplest method when it comes to calculating depreciation. It supplies the slowest returns but can give the best long-term benefits. Simply take the initial value of your asset, deduct the estimated salvage value your asset will have when the depreciation term is over, and split this amount in equal parts over the number of years you will be taking the deduction, also known as the product's useful life.
Here is an example of an asset that costs $10,000, has a $200 salvage cost and has a four-year useful life:
Year 1: (10,000 – 200) ÷ 4 = $2,450
Year 2: (10,000 – 200) ÷ 4 = $2,450
Year 3: (10,000 – 200) ÷ 4 = $2,450
Year 4: (10,000 – 200) ÷ 4 = $2,450
If you choose accelerated depreciation, you will receive a larger return on your asset in the early years of its depreciation. Accelerated depreciation is useful when the productivity of an asset is greatest in its early years.
There are some important factors to take into consideration before choosing accelerated depreciation:
- Be wary of cost-segregating services that run on commission, as they may attempt to inflate your deductions for their own benefit.
- Businesses that report taxable profit will not be able to benefit from accelerated depreciation.
- If you are using accelerated depreciation on your property and sell it at a profit, it is recaptured as ordinary income and taxed at 35% instead of 25%, as is the case with straight-line depreciation.
- Make sure to keep records supporting all of your estimates in case of an audit.
Types of Accelerated Depreciation
"Sum of the years" depreciation is a form of accelerated depreciation calculated by taking into account the number of years you will be using the asset. If the useful life of your asset is 4 years and the value of your asset is $10,000, you will calculate your sum of the years depreciation like this over the 4 years:
Year 1: 4/10 X 10,000 = $4,000
Year 2: 3/10 X 10,000 = $3,000
Year 3: 2/10 X 10,000 = $2,000
Year 4: 1/10 X 10,000 = $1,000
You find 10 as the denominator because it is the sum of 4 + 3 + 2 + 1, and you begin with four because it is the total number of years for which you will be taking the deduction.
Another popular type of accelerated depreciation is "double-declining balance" depreciation. The idea of the double-declining balance depreciation is to find the percentage your asset depreciates in the first year and double it; you then use this percentage and multiply it by the remaining balance to be depreciated until the value is lower than the straight-line amount, at which point you begin to use straight-line calculation. Here is an example with the same asset that costs $10,000 with a $200 salvage value and a four-year useful life. In this case, the asset's value is depreciating 98% over four years or 24.5% a year. Double this, and you land at 49%:
Year 1: 49 X 9,800 = $4,802
Year 2: .49 X (9,800 – 4,802) = $2,449.02
We can see here that, already in year two, the double-depreciation method is less than the straight-line depreciation method; instead of deducting $2,449.02, we would deduct $2,450, as called for in the straight-line method.
Using depreciation deductions can be a great way to write off business and commercial real-estate expenses that allow for greater returns over a longer period of time than basic write-offs.

The Magazine Drive continues this week. The students are buying a lot of farm animals for children in Africa by selling subscriptions. Let's give it a big push during these final weeks. Thank you all who have supported this fundraiser.
We have more than 40 parents volunteering as Harvest Festival Chairs this year. The 2013 St. Rita Harvest Festival Weekend promises to be better than ever! Follow Tim Shepard's suggestion to "ask 3″ which means ask for donations from at least 3 friends or 3 places of business that you frequent. That alone will generate over 60o additional items for our auction. Everyone needs tax deductions and this is a great way to give to a non-profit school and keep a few tax dollars in your pocket. Parents, the beautiful "Masters" painted by every class last spring are beautifully framed and ready for the auction. Next week, I hope to publish a list of the great packages and single items we have already booked for the auction.
This Thursday is the PTO General Meeting for all parents in O'Malley Hall at 7:00 pm. When I was a parent here, we had PTO general meetings every month. Now we have instant digital communications, so I host the start of the year and the end of the year meetings to give you an opportunity to spend a short time enjoying good company, great refreshments while getting to see who's who here at your school. I will introduce the teachers and staff, talk a bit about what's new or in the works and then turn it over to our PTO board members. There will be babysitting in Gara Hall. Please call the school office for reservations. . We typically take reservations for about 14-20 children and usually 50 or more show up. We love surprises but would appreciate a call ahead of time so that we have plenty of supervision for your children.
This Sunday, our school and PTO will have displays at the Ministry Fair. We could take up the entire space if we told our full story but we will do our best to limit it to a table (or 2). You chose St. Rita School because you know that we educate the whole child, spiritually, academically and physically. Public education can't recognize God therefore children don't learn to talk and walk with Jesus everyday while at school. (Do they serve two Masters as last Sunday's Gospel taught?) A Catholic education is truly unique and has made one of the greatest positive impacts on American culture. American Catholic educators (nuns and priests) worked tirelessly to elevate people out of poverty and ignorance into the middle class. That commitment to social justice and to a better future is still a core value of a Catholic education. When we say that we develop the whole child, it is true and we continue to add more opportunities to enrich the souls, minds and physical aptitude of our students. In addition to incomparable faith formation and academics, St. Rita students also have so many enrichment opportunities available right here at school. Such as:
- CYO Championship sports for girls and boys year round.
- Speech, Debate and Drama
- Art and Music Instruction
- Jedi Camp along with karate, skateboarding and chess classes after school (just to name a few).
As I always say, St. Rita School is a "little slice of heaven" on earth.

IAVA Daily Brief 2.18.11
Posted by Isabel Black on February 18
Here are some of today's top stories and happenings at IAVA. Prefer to receive real-time updates about major stories and legislation that IAVA is tracking? Follow us on Twitter @IAVAPressRoom or subscribe at www.IAVA.org/DailyNewsBrief.
1) Shinseki apologizes for missing deadline for caregiver benefits
Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki apologized Thursday for delays in the new caregivers benefits plan, pledging that families of wounded troops remain a top priority for the department. Under the legislation passed last year, the VA was mandated to begin awarding caregiver benefits- living stipends, medical training and counseling support- to select families of wounded Iraq and Afghanistan veterans by January 31. However, that deadline passed without officials even presenting basic details of how the program would be administered.
2) Could a fire sale cut the VA claims backlog?
Veterans who apply for disability compensation could receive an immediate payment if they are willing to accept a reduced amount, or they could hold out for a bigger check if they are willing to wait for a full review of their claim, under a proposal offered by Rep. Bob Filner, former chairman and now ranking minority party member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee. He suggested that anyone who takes an immediate benefit would receive disability compensation calculated as if they had a 30 percent disability. By accepting the payment, they would be ineligible for a bigger payment.
3) Gates pleads for 'critically urgent' funds for State Department's work in Iraq
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates told a Senate committee Thursday that everything the United States has accomplished in Iraq is potentially at risk if the State Department does not get the money it has requested to fund its work there as US forces exit this year. In an impassioned plea during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on next year's Pentagon budget, Gates cited the loss of more than 4,000 American lives in Iraq and the expenditure of some $900 billion.
Military commanders in Afghanistan are launching an initiative in March to ferret out criminals and infiltrators from Afghan security forces.
Every Friday, Afghan clerics wade into the politics of their war-torn country, delivering half-hour sermons that blend Islamic teaching with often-harsh criticism of the US presence.
Iraq's capital wants the United States to apologize and pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast walls and Humvees since the US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
Iraqi officials likely will request thousands of US troops remain in that country into next year to provide security and train indigenous forces, a senior lawmaker said Thursday.
The Army's top general kicked off the service's training program Thursday on the new law allowing gays to serve openly in the military, and officials said they hope to have the whole force trained by mid-August.
JPMorgan Chase will reduce interest rates to 4 percent for service members whose loans qualify under the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act, going even further than the 6 percent cap called for under that law.
House Armed Services Committee members from both parties pushed back on the Pentagon's cost-saving plans to reduce the size of the Army and the Marine Corps to make room in tighter-than-projected future budgets for other high-priority investments.
Determined to reduce deficits, impatient House Republican freshman made common cause with President Obama, scoring their biggest victory to date in a vote to cancel $450 million for an alternative engine for the Pentagon's next-generation warplane.

I like the term. When you think of porn, you think of something that is excessive.
Porn - television shows, articles, photographs, etc., thought to create or
satisfy an excessive desire for something
, especially something luxurious: the irresistible appeal of food porn; an addiction to real-estate porn.
Torture porn to me perfectly connotes the idea of excessive torture with lots of blood. I am a big fan of horror movies, but I really don't care for movies where people are just tortured and murdered in gross ways. Some fans watch horror movies for the kills only and I think it is that narrow hunger that some of these horror films plan to fill. The horror is mainly built around the body being tortured.
If I call a movie, "toture porn" - for me,
it is a diss
to a certain kind of horror film. I guess how offensive it is to you depends on how much you like those kind of horror movies.
While there has been bloody movies since forever - I feel like a lot of them looked fake and that was part of the fun. Movies now make the gore so realistic that it's not very fun.

Oil production in May 2014 was 7.2 million barrels, down 8.0% (-627,000 barrels) relative to May 2013.
Hibernia produced 4.2 million barrels of oil in May 2014, down 7.8% (-359,000 barrels) in comparison to May 2013.
Terra Nova produced 1.2 million barrels in May 2014, down 20.8% (-312,000 barrels) relative to May 2013.
White Rose (including North Amethyst) produced 1.8 million barrels of oil in May 2014, up 2.5% (+44,000 barrels) over May 2014.
In comparison to the previous twelve month average production level, total production from all three projects combined was up 4.6% in May 2014.
On a year-to-date basis (January-May 2014), total oil production was 34.7 million barrels, down 3.4% (-1.2 million barrels) in comparison to the same period in 2013 as a result of lower Hibernia production.
The Department of Finance's March 2014 forecast projects annual oil production to be 85.1 million barrels in 2014, up 1.8% over 2013 mainly due to increased production at Terra Nova which will be partially offset by natural declines at Hibernia. The expected increase in Terra Nova production in 2014 is due to a return to more normal levels of production after an extended maintenance shutdown in the fall of 2013. Further information on the province's oil and gas industry is available at The Economy 2014 (see Oil and Gas section).

did not work for me at all, nothing loads
The app simply does not work for me. Ninety nine percent of the frames for any video will not load. The scrubber bar at the bottom of the screen did not load the video images for reference points on half of the videos I uploaded. Basically I can whip around a lot of blank frames to about ten or twenty totally random frames, which I can save to my camera roll quickly, but I have very little control over which frames will load for viewing and which will not. Also there is a glitch that it does not always save the exact frame you are trying to capture, for instance, I saved a frame in which my eyes were open, and a second later it showed that it had captured the frame where my eyes were closed. Basically this was a waste of a dollar. Very sad. I need something that does what this app promises to, and I really wanted it to work well. Giving it a two just because I think if it worked like it promised, it would be cool. But it does not.
Awesome app!!!
I give this a 5 star!!! It is so much fun being able to get the best picture from a video!! That is when u actually get the best picture of someone when they r not posing n it's natural, u get so many extra beautiful images from this!! Another great thing about it is video taping a lightning storm it is so hard to get a picture of bolt lightning! But if u video it u will get the lightning in the video and then get the actual picture of the lightning bolt hitting the ground or whatever it hits!! Lightning pics in B&W r beautiful matted pictures!! All they need to do now is add some frames to it or other gadgets u could use with this App!! Love it so much! You will also!!!
I had really wanted a way to get still shots from videos & this app really allows me to do that! Sometimes, it's near impossible to take pictures when you're engaged in an activity or the activity is in motion. I'm so thrilled to be able to have this Still Shot app. There is one thing I'd like improved on. I wish to be able to zoom in one the image I'm examining, as it's quite small & the images can look so similar to each other that zooming in can show differences in the images that are in movement. I hope that made sense. Thank you! I really needed this app! :D

Step 1: Create the body
Overinflated it so it was big enough that my son could fit inside.
Then we paper mached the whole thing with 3-4 layers. I found it was easier to just rub the paste all over then stick large sheets of newspaper on top the rub more paste on that.
We had it sitting on a bucket that served as the opening in the bottom.
Once it was completely dry just deflate and remove the yoga ball.
Step 3:
Then we spray painted the whole thing pink.
Next we hot glued screen inside the eyes and painted on top of that.
Finally the pink pants and red shoes complete the costume.
Step 4: Trick or Treat
I glued some speakers inside and we used an mp3 player to play the Kirby theme song.
Finally I glued a couple mesh bags for candy which as it turns out was not the best idea because he was getting tons of candy because everyone was excited to see an homemade costume and it made everything really heavy.
We had a great time. The comments and looks from everyone were incredible.
But do you know what size yoga ball you used?
Was it hard?

Luis Suarez believes reaching two finals in one season would send a message to the rest of the Barclays Premier League about Liverpool's potential next season.
The Reds already have the Carling Cup in the cabinet, and following Sunday's 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final victory over Stoke in which Suarez scored a wonderful goal, they are now just two victories away from an historic double.
And the Uruguayan - who spoke on Monday about his happiness at Anfield - told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I think after such a long period, to get to two finals in one season would be great for the club, a real positive.
"It would show just how the team are getting used to the manager's system and style of play, as well as how well the new arrivals have settled into the side. That's a good sign for next season too.
"It would be something really special. To be just a season and a half with a club and win two medals would be great. It's just a case of trying to keep calm and collected, and waiting for the game to come around.
"If we get the chance to win it, then we can enjoy it, because winning trophies is never easy, especially here in England."
Suarez is excited about the prospect of playing a semi-final at Wembley within two months of our penalty shoot-out triumph over Cardiff City, but he is keen to stress the importance of not losing focus on the league.
And while accepting that Champions League qualification will be difficult, he is not conceding hope.
"It's a great feeling because it's a superb stadium and always a great spectacle for everyone who loves their football," said the 25-year-old.
"Going back there with Liverpool to play in a semi-final is going to be a great occasion but we first of all have to concentrate on the important league games coming up before we begin to think about Wembley.
"Things have become difficult to grab a place in the Champions League but we will keep battling hard right until the end of the season and try to give a good account of ourselves."
Liverpool will face the winner of the quarter-final replay between Everton and Sunderland - with the game likely to be played on April 14.
The possibility of an all-Merseyside semi-final has created a buzz in the city, but Suarez is calm about whoever the opponents turn out to be.
"It doesn't matter," he said. "A semi-final is a semi-final and we will be fighting like our lives depended on it against either of the two teams.
"Yes, a derby game, and at Wembley, would be special, but they still have a replay to come. Whoever wins, we'll be waiting calmly for them."

Seth McLaughlin, family nurse practitioner, and holistic and aesthetic nursing licensed massage therapist, practicing alternative medicine at Ageless Skin and Laser Center. (Photos by Tony Duncan/Johnson City Press)
Not that long ago, manual therapy and other forms of alternative medicine were considered taboo and not the effective form of healing they are today.
Brandy Canada, a licensed massage therapist and owner of Triggerpoint Massage Therapy in Johnson City, has seen her line of work and alternative medicine come full circle in the 14 years she's been at it.
"It's the best thing I've ever done," Canada said.
That's not only because it's a way for her to make money, though Canada admits that's the reason she initially got into manual, or massage, therapy, but more because of its positive changes on so many lives around the area. The big shift came with the help of Johnson City's proximity to Asheville, N.C., an area that is known as being very accepting of a holistic approach to healing. Alternative medicine is a broad term, Canada says, and contains everything from a massage therapy-induced increase in metabolism, blood flow and arthritis relief to treatment of fibromyalgia and an improvement in skin and hair quality through herbs and supplements.
Surfing was Canada's first big break with manual therapy, on the shores of the Hawaiian islands, treating muscle problems for competitors.
"I started with a broken surf board," Canada says. "I took a dry erase marker and wrote on the board, '$1 a minute for a massage,' and got a sun tan in between massages."
Since her days of traveling the world as a massage therapist, Canada decided to raise a family in Johnson City and says she now chases a 10-month old instead of surfers and waves, but hasn't lost site of her profession. Triggerpoint Massage therapy developed with the help of the region's changing opinion on the effectiveness of alternative medicine.
"This is something that needs to be brought to people's attention," Canada said about alternative medicine, noting that she's fought against the anti-alternative medicine taboo since she began.
She says she knows her business is working because of all the nurses and doctors who frequent her business and other businesses like hers in the area.
It's uncommon to see a chiropractor business that doesn't also have a massage therapist, she said.
Insurance companies, including BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, will offer two massages a month to qualified people through certain plans. The massages can have long lasting benefits for many, including the opportunity to avoid surgeries through preventative means, which saves money also.
So, why not save the money? Many leg injuries, like the repairing of tendons, Canada said, would be right in the wheelhouse of massage therapists, and, if taken care of ahead of time, could keep those legs away from the knife.
Seth McLaughlin, a family nurse practitioner with Ageless Skin and Laser on Med Tech Parkway in Johnson City says his integrative medicine is gaining popularity. These treatments include lifestyle medicine, IV nutritional therapy, therapeutic bodywork, integrated medicine, thorough testing and advanced skincare. Though Ageless Skin and Laser has a great deal of ailments to work on, they don't work with insurance companies, McLaughlin said.
"Anything insurance companies touch, they ruin," he said, explaining past cases when he did accept insurance plans when they altered the treatment far too much for his liking.
Some of the issues McLaughlin had in the past with alternative medicine, like that done by Canada and in his business is misinformation or the lack of education with physicians.
"There was a whole generation of physicians not being educated on alternative medicine," McLaughlin said.
That's clearly changed now, with McLaughlin saying that about 80 percent of the patients he has walking through the door utilize alternative medicine one way or another, sometimes just through herbs or supplements. Whereas in the past, McLaughlin said, people thought he and his colleagues were killing people by giving them herbs and supplements.

Celerite Slimming Capsules Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
It appears as if there may not be much information available about Celerite Slimming Capsules due to the fact that it does not have an official website. It appears as if it is mainly marketed by independent websites and online drugstores. In this review we will go over some of the information that has been made available to us so that we may determine if Celerite Slimming Capsules carries any relevance as a weight loss supplement.
While researching Celerite Slimming Capsules it appears as though we may have found something that suggests what ingredients may be in Celerite Slimming Capsules. This list of ingredients includes glucomannan, konjac, Tuckahoe (poria), Kola, guarana, and coleus. Glucomannan is described as an extract that comes from a plant that is called the elephant yarn plant, a plant that is native to Asia. It is thought to be an appetite suppressant at this time. The description that is given is that it creates a gel like mass when it mixes with water so that it fills your stomach and makes you feel like you are full.
Product Review
Poria, although has many different functions, is thought to be used as a diuretic in this situation. The appearance of diuretics in weight loss supplements are often used to help you lose excess water weight.
It appears as though Kola is being used as a source of caffeine in this case. Caffeine is often used to promote thermogenesis in weight loss supplements. It is said that Celerite is a weight loss product that has clinical proof to back up the theory that this is an effective weight loss product. It is said that it may help you to suppress your appetite while helping you to burn fat. It is believed that is was created for use in men and women. There are claims that have been found that suggests that if you take one capsule per day that it will prove to be an effective weight loss supplement, and that you may not gain all of your weight back when you stop taking this supplement, and it is supposed to deliver fast results.
- This may be an effective fat burner.
- Celerite Slimming Capsules may include an effective appetite suppressant.
- Contains lots of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants.
- May have been taken off of the market.
- When you do find it, it is often expensive to buy.
- There is no official website available.
While conducting our research, we found what we believe is an effective weight loss supplement. However, there are a couple of things that may raise concern about Celerite Slimming Capsules. The first is that it seems as though its main thermogenic ingredients are 2 powerful Caffeine sources. Some people may not like the idea of it paying so much money for a supplement that contains such a common ingredient. The next is the fact that it is stated that Celerite Slimming Capsules works by forming a huge gel like mass in your stomach that gives you the illusion that you are full. What actually happens to this mass? How does it pass through your digestive system? It seems as though these things may have been left out of the product description.

Actually, one of the reasons this book is so great is because it gives you just enough detail to know what it was like, but it leaves enough unsaid so the reader can complete the picture in his/her own mind in a way that words could never accomplish. If you want to talk about going into a lot of details, read Charles Dickinson....funny how he gave a lot more detailes than McGraw, yet he's considered one of the greatest writers of all time.

I have been assigned to read this book for school and answer questions that looked pretty boring. When I started reading it, I became more interested. It teaches you how ancient Egyptian life was. This book is about a young Egyptain goldsmith named Ranofer who is under control of his evil and greedy half-brother Gebu, after his father, Thutra dies. In chapter 4, he is forced to have the cruel job as a stonecutting apperentice as a punishment. However, in chapter 10, he discovers a golden goblet that Gebu stole from a tomb. Any tombrider would be hanged and executed. Unfortunatly, Ranofer has no way of accusing his evil master of this crime, no one would believe him. With the support of his loyal friends Heqet and the "Ancient One", Ranofer goes off to reveal this shameful crime. I haven't still finished reading, but I can't wait untill I do. You should definetly get it. No wonder it has won the Newbery award and is a class assignment!

Comments about DEG A18-MC100 Handy Tuba Rest:
There is nothing wrong with this product, it works fine, is well constructed, but for what it is, the price should be about 30 beans. This is way overpriced.
Comments about DEG A18-MC100 Handy Tuba Rest:
This stand is a great idea, and works well for what it is built to do. Players can sit up tall and bring the instrument to them, instead of bringing their chops to the horn. After a few weeks of use four hours a day, the legs started to loosen up. After a few months, the threads on the down-tube clamp stripped out. Our welding class fabricated a fix.
