Is Inflammatory Pain Making You Suffer? Take Celecoxib 200 mg
Celecoxib 200 mg is an NSAID or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is also known in the market by its brand name Celebrex. Celecoxib is mainly a medicine that is used for relieving pain caused by arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, dysmenorrheal or menstruation that is painful, acute pain and ankylosing spondylitis. Celecoxib 200 mg can also effectively minimize the presence of rectal and colon polyps in patients who are suffering from familial adenomatous polyposis. Celecoxib 200 mg can also be suitable for children who are older than 2 years old, weigh over 10 kilos and are inflicted with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Celecoxib 200 mg was initially indicated for relieving pain while trying to minimize the significant (gastrointestinal) side effects that are commonly evident when it comes to traditional NSAIDs. In the medical or hospital setting, the primary purpose of celecoxib 200 mg is for patients who require constantly regular and long-term relief from pain. As a matter of fact, doctors and medical practitioners believe that there is no significant advantage in using celecoxib 200 mg for instant or short-term relief from pain, with the exception of using it because other NSAIDs or aspirin cause allergic reactions in the patient (such as hives or urticaria).
Celecoxib can be taken once or twice per day. It is available in pill form with dosages of either celecoxib 100 mg or celecoxib 200 mg. In most cases, the typical dose is around 200 mg to 400 mg a day. Depending on what your ailment is, your doctor can determine if you need to take celecoxib 100 mg only or celecoxib 200 mg, or more.

RESIDENTS in a supported housing complex toasted the Royal Wedding by handing over a cheque to bosses at a cash-strapped hospice.
Staff and residents at the Dimensions Supported Living service, in King Oswy Drive, Hartlepool raked in £297.20 for Hartlepool and District Hospice.
The money was raised after staff threw a garden party to celebrate the newly-named Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's marriage on Friday, April 29.
Around 50 people, including residents and their families, attended the event which included a name the donkey competition, five raffles and various table-top sales.
Deputy manager Jackie Skinner chose the winning donkey's name - Flora.
The money was raised after home chiefs spotted an appeal in the Mail from hospice chiefs urging groups to use the Royal Wedding as a way of raising funds for the invaluable Wells Avenue facility.
The Mail reported last month that the hospice could be forced to get rid of vital beds and axe jobs in a bid to stave off financial meltdown.
Support worker Carole Oxley said: "We chose the hospice because it's a local charity. "My manager saw the report in the paper in the lead-up to the Royal Wedding, asking people holding garden parties to raise money for the hospice.
"We sent away for a free pack from the hospice, which contained a royal quiz and a poster informing people of our event.
"The people we support really enjoyed it and they all helped in their own way."
The organisation supports people with learning disabilities and autism to live the life they want.
Dimensions also has a similar unit in Miller Crescent, whose residents also attended the event and helped out by baking cakes for the occasion.
John Martindale, the hospice's head of fundraising, said: "Here at the hospice, we're really pleased that Dimensions have joined in with our Royal Tea campaign and celebrated the wedding with such great success.
"I hope everyone involved enjoyed the day, while providing such valuable support to our charity."

Pittsburgh and Cincinnati have both had a week to get ready for the second half of Big East play, and there's clearly more pressure on the Bearcats.
Cincinnati has dropped 16 straight Big East road games against ranked opponents heading into Saturday's matchup with the No. 4 Panthers.
The Panthers (20-2, 8-1) have at least two fewer losses than every other team in the conference and have not played since a 65-62 win at Rutgers last Saturday. Ashton Gibbs scored 24 points as Pittsburgh won despite shooting 35.6 percent.
"We really took some time to get our legs back and get healthy in a lot of ways since we played Rutgers," coach Jamie Dixon said. "We defended well, rebounded well against Rutgers and made free throws in a real physical game."
Pittsburgh's two worst shooting performances came last week. The Panthers shot 40.0 percent in a 56-51 home loss to then-No. 15 Notre Dame on Jan. 24.
"As we go into Cincinnati, we just are trying to improve in a couple of areas," Dixon said. "I think offensive execution and defensive communication are really the two things we emphasized this week for our guys."
Pitt has lost consecutive Big East games at the Petersen Events Center once previously from Feb 23-26, 2006. That makes this matchup a daunting task for Cincinnati (18-4, 5-4), which is 0-3 there and has not beaten a Top 25 Big East team on the road since an 85-73 win at then-No. 21 Marquette on Jan. 14, 2004.
The Bearcats are 9-30 in conference road games under fifth-year coach Mick Cronin, who has yet to guide the team to an NCAA tournament berth. His club fell 66-55 at home last Saturday to West Virginia, coached by former longtime Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins.
Huggins guided the Mountaineers to the Final Four last season, and the pressure is on Cronin to finally lead the Bearcats to the NCAAs. Cincinnati shot 35.0 percent.
"We let our ineptitude on offense affect our energy on defense enough to get us beat," coach Mick Cronin said. "That's one thing we haven't done all year."
Leading scorer Dion Dixon is shooting 23.8 percent in his last two games after scoring nine points on 3-of-12 shooting last Saturday. Yancy Gates, who averages 11.4 points and 6.9 rebounds, was limited to seven and five, respectively, as Cincinnati was outrebounded 42-30.
"You have to be great at rebounding, and we weren't great at rebounding," Cronin said. "Not enough to make up for our lack of rebounding."
Gates had a solid effort in last season's 74-71 home loss to Pitt with 16 points and 14 boards. Gibbs had 19 points as the Panthers won their fourth straight in the series.
Pitt continues to lead the Big East with 18.8 assists per game, but totaled 17 in last week's poor-shooting efforts. The Panthers are seeking a return to form.
"We're not where we need to be and we understand that so we're trying to get better both on the offensive side and the defensive side," Jamie Dixon said.

The 2016 A-Z Challenge brought to you by The Letter "B"
come back tomorrow and see what plant I'm highlighting! Cheers!!
A fun idea for the A-Z Challenge! Toward the end, I was picturing what the neighbors must think when you start therapeutically shouting at your plants! This was really interesting stuff. Thanks!
Anne from AnneHiga.com.
Thanks for stopping by, Anne! I haven't tried it yet, but I will! It will definitely up my reputation for being "eccentric"!Delete
I smelled basil as soon as I saw your post. Ha! What would we do without basil? Love it, especially in Italian dishes, and it smells so good. Tastes good, smells good, no wonder it cheers people up!
Cheers! Happy B day!
Indeed! I LOVE Basil and can't wait to have enough sun to grow it again!Delete
Good they no longer think it makes you go all bippity boppity boo haha I guess if one needs a good rant, go and get a basil plant.ReplyDelete
HaHa! Well, I wouldn't be so sure. I've been accused of being a witch within the past few years, by association with my mother who also grows and uses herbs.Delete
I crave Basil year around, so keep a plant growing in my greenhouse. Of course, I make batches of pesto in the summer and freeze that into cubes for my winter pasta. Life without Basil is no life at all! And now I know it was sacred. All the more better.ReplyDelete
My mom makes pesto and freezes it the same way! It adds such a lovely flavor to winter stews.Delete
I'm thinking of putting purple basil in one of my flowerpots this year. Basil hasn't been happy in my garden since my neighbor's tree shaded it out. But the purple basil is so pretty, it will be nice with the flowers, methinks.
Happy B Day!

Basil needs LOTS of sun! Purple basil is gorgeous! I've always loved it. If you pick it and put it in vinegar, it will color the vinegar a gorgeous pink color!Delete
I have a few herbs on my terrace, but no basil. Uhm... I think I shoudl do soemthign about it ;-)
I didn't know about that ancient practice, poor basil. Being shouted at. That's funny.
And I didn't knwo abotu basil growing well with tomatos and vice versa. Yeas, that may well be why we Italians often use the two together (but then, they taste lovely too).
Sometimes back, an herbalist helped me with a story I'm writing and suggested a few herbs for a tea to be used in my story. I devised a tea she approved and it contained basil (I needed it to contain only herbs normally used in cooking). Then I thought, hey, I'm going to try it.
It's one of my favourite tea now ;-)

I drink Tulsi or Holy Basil tea a lot and it's one of my favorite teas! I need to try some fresh basil tea. I loved learning that basil grows well with tomatoes. It makes sense, though. I can't imagine tomato sauce without basil.Delete
Screaming and swearing at the plant = healthy plant?
You are quite knowledgeable on this topic, Jen.

Thanks! I've been researching herbs for a long time but I always learn something new when I start reading about them!Delete
I love basil especially in my homemade marinara sauce. Kids grow basil in little clay pots too.
I remember getting a little herb garden kit when I was a kid and it contained basil. I think they all do! It's very easy to grow.Delete
What drastic meanings across cultures. I enjoy cooking with basil and the love the aroma of fresh basil.
Write What Inspires You Blog
It's so interesting to read how one culture reveres a plant while another hates it! Mmmm, I'm smelling basil right now!Delete
Ranting and swearing at a plant...I could do that.ReplyDelete
Haha! Me too! Perhaps that's why my basil always does so well :)Delete
So fascinating, Jen! I associate basil with Italian, but I'm totally, 100% herb (and plant) illiterate. That makes me sad, considering my age. :(ReplyDelete
Oh don't be sad! There's so much to learn out there about plants! No one could ever learn it all!Delete
Last summer, I decided to grow my own basil to use in flavored water. Never knew how prolific it was, or how well it attracted little bitty bugs! That was a short-lived project. I like that it symbolizes love in Italy.

It is very prolific and, yes, lots of little bugs love it. If it grows long enough to bloom, bees adore basil!Delete
Hello from A to Z. I'm a new follower. I'm also part of IWSG and it looks like we haven't crossed paths yet.
I like to put basil in my cooking sometimes and I tried to grow some in my yard last year. I bought two bags of seeds and from that, only two leaves came. I guess maybe it's because I didn't scream at the seeds loud enough, haha.
Hi Cynthia! Welcome :) Growing anything from seed is tricky. I try to get as many of my plants already sprouted. Anytime I try seeds my results are rather dim.Delete
I am growing basil this year for the first time. So far, I have not sworn and screamed at it, just near it, in the normal course of my day. Happy to report it seems to be doing fairly well with just that incidental exposure. :)
Nice to meet a fellow A-Z Challenger!
Splendid! See, I knew those old legends couldn't be all false :) Nice to meet you as well!Delete

Unanswered: criteria under design view on a control in the main form
I have two tables, tblChangeControlFormDetails and tblInfrastructureRes and they are related by the field -- ChangeControlFormDetailsID. It is a one to many relationship. That is, I have multiple records in the table tblInfrastructureRes for each record in the table tblChangeControlFormDetails.
(On the side note, table tblInfrastructureRes is also related to table tblCobbCountyContact)
This field ChangeControlFromDetailsID is the primary key for the table tblChangeControlFormDetails. It is an autonumber.
I have a form called frmChangeOfControlForm which is used to input data to the tblChangeControlFormDetails. I have a subform frmInfrastructureResAB being called up from within the form frmChangeOfControlForm to hold all the records related to the table tblChangeControlFormDetails.
In the frmChangeOfControlForm form, I have a list box (lstInfrastructureRes) to list all the records from tblInfrastructureRes which is related to the table tblChangeControlFormDetails. It is not working right at this moment and it is my question. Note, when I list the records from the table tblInfrastructureRes, I list the related record(names) from the table tblCobbCountyContact. Again, tblInfrasturcutreRes and tblCobbCountyContact are related by CobbCountyContactID
I use the design view to run the query in the list box (lstInfrasturctureRes). it is an unbound list box. Here is my Row Source
SELECT tblInfrastructureRes.InfrastructureResID,
tblCobbCountyContact!FirstName &","&[LastName] AS Expr1 FROM
tblChangeControlFormDetails INNEW JOIN (tblInfrastructureRes INNER JOIN
tblCobbCountyContact ON tblInfrastructureRes.CobbCountyContactID =
tblCobbCountyContact.CobbCountyContactID) ON
tblChangeControlFormDetails.ChangeControlFormDetai lsID =
I know this Row Source works because when I hard code one ChangecontrolFormDetailsID number (e.g. say 12345) as the criteria for tblInfrastructureRes.ChangeControlFormDetailsID, it did only list all the records in the tblInfrastructureRes table which is related to the ChangeControlFormDetailsID 12345. That is, even I jump to other ChangeControlFormDetailsID from the from frmChangeOfControlForm, the list box still only gives me all the records related to 12345 in the tblInfrastructureRes table even thought I am in different ChangeControlFormDetailsID. That is a correct behavior I think.
I want to put some critera under the tblInfrastructureRes.ChangeControlFormDetailsID in the design view so that only those records whose ChangeControlFormDetailsID in the table tblInfrasturcture are matching to the control txtChangeControlFormDetails in the main form will be listed. The control txtChangeControlFormDetails in this main form (frmChangeOfControlForm) holds the ChangecontrolFromDetailsID in the table tblChangeControlFormDetails.
I don't have any critera right now, the list box lists every record in the table tblInfrastructureRes.
I tried everything criteria I can think of but nothing work. Here is the one I think it should work but it doesn't
Forms!frmChangeOfControlForm!ChangeControlFormDeta ilsID (this criteria gave me blank list in all record)
Any help is most welcome.

With this new select statement, I am able to accomplish what I need. Don't fully understand why it works this way and not the other way. But it works, who cares.
SELECT tblCobbCountyContact!FirstName & "," & [LastName] AS Expr1
FROM tblChangeControlFormDetails INNER JOIN (tblInfrastructureRes INNER JOIN tblCobbCountyContact ON tblInfrastructureRes.CobbCountyContactID = tblCobbCountyContact.CobbCountyContactID) ON tblChangeControlFormDetails.ChangeControlFormDetai lsID = tblInfrastructureRes.ChangeControlFormDetailsID
WHERE ((([tblInfrastructureRes]![ChangeControlFormDetailsID]=[Forms]![frmChangeOfControlForm]![txtChangeControlFormDetailsID])=True));

ProcessOne has released a new messaging service that gives small businesses their own instant messaging capability using their domain name.
According to instant messaging firm many small businesses are still using free consumer IM clients as they don't have the time or money to manage a business-class solution.
However, Hosted.IM, which is free for up to five users, gives firms the ability to have their own instant messaging service without the need for on-site software or hardware.
Users of the service have access to a group chat and file transfer function, as well as the ability to connect to other instant messaging networks and create an archive of conversations held using the software, all without the need for its own on-site software and hardware.
"While consumer IM clients do allow for greater employee communication and collaboration, they don't offer the security and compliance that today's businesses require," said Mickael Remond, CEO of ProcessOne.
"With Hosted.IM we are giving small businesses an easy and cost-effective way to set up and manage company-branded instant messaging across their entire business."
To sign-up to the service visit ProcessOne's dedicated web page.

GNOME Basic is an attempt to provide a 100% compatible replacement for Visual Basic, VBA, VBScript, and other associated languages. It was originaly focused at making VBA macros work inside gnumeric, but due to scope slippage it executes some forms, parses most VB, and executes simple ASPs. With better Bonobo integration, a fully compatible MS environment will become feasible.

First, Visual Basic, is not horrible, nor is it pointless. It is a very useful and powerful language. It is also not a primitive scripting language. Recent versions of Visual Basic can compile to machine code just like C or C++. Yes, it has a runtime, but that's not a big deal; it's only a few 100k.
It's useful for things beyond screenpainting and database front-ends. I use it to write games and multimedia applications. It might not be quite as fast as a traditional language like C++, but it's fast enough for me. The code format is much nicer in my opinion than C or C++; I can't stand all that punctuation. English is a wonderful language, so why don't we make the most of it? And it is easy to use, as is Windows. If Linux is to become successful on the desktop, it must replicate the features and ease of use of other platforms, particularly Windows. Have you ever used VB?
Re: Hmm

It would mean I could persuade my team to move it's intranet site off MS onto Linux and they don't need to learn a new language.
I can then produce the things in Perl that VBScript/ASP can't do or even move the SQL databases over too.
I'm not deliberately trying to be a Linux advocate here, I just want our system to be as good as it can be.
Re: Hmm
I wonder if any of you has ever used VB.
I have been a Unix programer for many years, mostly C/C++/Corba/XWindows.
I think VB is a great language/technology. It is the only real component technology out there, millions of components available, It's built into great applications like Excel and Word, it's very stable, very fast (yes, when compiled it's very fast), great development environment, great debugger, and runs on only 95% of the computers in the world. And the language? who cares! is it any worse that K&R C?
If you guys would stop being Microsoft bashers long enough to take a good, technical view at VB you would also be impressed.

Re: Hmm

The only reason I see this development having sense is because there are a lot of stuff in Microsoft shops done with VB or VBA. If you want to rule the world, you have to take over it, not rebuilding it. So, the purpose of this project is to provide *compatibility*.
A Fluent OpenStack client API for Java.

It had been far too long since David and I had gotten out together for a backpacking camp trip…two years ago we were backpacking in Patagonia and Spain, and I'm not sure I had been out "true-camping" since then! It was well past overdue and David organized a small weekend trip for us outside of Vail up to Deluge Lake in the Eagle's Nest Wilderness.
We left Saturday morning around 8:00 – made a few quick stops for camp food, getting a headlamp back from a friend, batteries for said headlamp, string for dem bears, and Subway sandwiches before making it to the trail head by 11:30.
Not wanting to waste too much time, we opted to stow our lunches and get started right away.
David is always good to let me lead the way so we can go at my pace. When we originally looked at topos we thought we would be going up the Gore Creek Trail for a mile and a half before turning to go uphill – I was glad to have a slow/easy start to warm up. However, once we got to the trail head, we realized the trails actually split just beyond the parking lot…meaning no slow & easy warm up for me. The trail ascends pretty steeply through Aspen groves, and there were thousands of beautiful wildflowers everywhere.
I almost stepped on three snakes and a mouse – yeesh, my favorites 🙁 It was slow going for me, but after about an hour in, we stopped for lunch which was a perfect re-charge break for me.
After another hour of hiking, the aspen trees gave way to huge evergreens, and the narrow, dirt path became a soft forest bed – the forest created a cool reprise from the hot sun we'd had beating down on us for the first half of our hike. And the trail became much less steep from that point forward, and the scenery much more interesting, so the second half went by really fast comparatively.
After an hour, the forest cleared into meadows, and we began looking for a campsite. The clouds were starting to get a bit ominous, so I started feeling worried about if we were going to be able to set up our tent before the rain came. Also, having seen a lighting-tree just a few minutes before, it gave me extra cause for concern…
We ended up finding a designated camp site – perfect space for tent, a pre-built campfire ring, and a few fun mining relics left behind that made for perfect camp stove perches.
Luckily, we found the site and set up our tent just as the rain reached us. We hurried to finish bringing out equipment under the safety of the fly, and then started making ourselves at home away from home. I love this part of camping. Once everything was put away, I changed into clean clothes and cozied up in my sleeping bag, reading a book. David did the same with his map. Of course, it didn't take long for our eyelids to get heavy, and our books and maps to close, and we had a little snooze.
The rain didn't last too long, and thankfully, there wasn't any thunder, lightning, or hail, so we emerged from our tent an hour and a half later to find mostly cleared blue skies and went to filter water, collect firewood, build a fire, and prepare our dinner: ravioli & marinara with hot chocolate for dessert! Mmm…
We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the meadow, watching the alpenglow on the mountains as the sun set. There was also an odd little rain shower – the clouds were moving so quickly the rain came down after the clouds had passed overhead.
We went to bed pretty early, but ended up having a tough night's sleep – several times, coyotes woke us up with their eerie screams and shrieks and howls…a very unnerving sound when you know you are in the middle of nowhere. The basin amplifies the sounds, so you would have no idea if they were a mile away or 50 feet away…at least when you are 'blind' in the tent! Between the spooky sounds, and my sleeping pad deflating, I did not wake up feeling well rested the next day at all!
We ate breakfast (oatmeal & hot chocolate), packed a day pack for the day, and got started before 8:00. We were going to climb a 13er together (Grand Traverse Peak), and then David was going to scurry over to two other peaks in the basin while I descended back to camp solo. The start up to the Lake was surprisingly tough on stiff and sore legs. Without having an easy warm up, my heart rate and breathing were so labored I was worried if I was going to make it to the summit at all. I have a history of altitude sickness, so that is always a fear of mine, so I think I had some nervousness as well. We made it to Deluge Lake, and took a few minutes of "recovery" from the early morning climb. (I am embarrassed to say that it took about 10 minutes to walk down the path from the Lake to camp later that day and I think it took more than a half hour going up that morning!)
The lake was beautiful. It reminded us of Patagonia – alpine lakes with snow and ice in the middle of summer, with peaks all around. There were wildflowers all around, and in the distance, you could see Holy Cross with snow in its couloirs. The sun started to emerge in the basin, which helped to take some of the morning chill away.
As we finished crossing the lake, I still felt nervous and didn't feel great or hopeful about getting to the summit, until I felt an urge for #2. Yes, that kind of #2. David suggested moving a few rocks from the scree field but it felt a bit too, ahem, exposed, and so I opted for the Willows. Without going into too much detail, suffice it to say I felt a lot better. A new woman!
With a renewed spirit, with the views continuing to get more and more amazing the higher you climb, AND seeing a pair of climbers who were steadily gaining on us despite starting an hour later, gave me the motivation to push through the tiredness and labored breathing to keep going.
Surprisingly, there were a few other climbing parties on the summit when we arrived (yes, including the ones who had gained and passed us) and even a few dogs – most were locals to Eagle County. And all 4 parties either ascended or were descending in different ways – I guess the Gore Range tends to get a more authentic mountaineer community since it lacks the list-peaks (14ers or Centennial 13ers). I felt really proud of myself for making it all the way to the top – it was challenging for me, but well worth the effort. We didn't stay too long, but we walked together to the saddle before David went to climb the other summits.
I took my time down the scree field – the views were outstanding the whole way, but I hate walking down scree. I hate it so much I made up a song about it. I'm not even kidding, these lyrics came to my mind in perfect rhythm and rhyme as I was walking down, to a tune none other than "Barney & Friends":
"I hate Scree,
Scree hates me,
There's no other way to climb down, you see.
So I'll take one step and slide a foot or two,
Next time, Scree, I'll poop on you."
BELOW: The tune in question for anyone who may have forgotten. 🙂
I was laughing so hard, singing and re-singing the tune I had just made up. It made the scree far more enjoyable and go by a lot faster, too.
But I digress…here are more of those incredible views I was talking about:
I took some time to sit by the lake, which was toasty now that the sun had been out a while, and then spent a little more time by the cabin – taking pictures and feeling so very Swiss. I eventually made my way to the path back to the tent…that was when I was ashamed to see the climb that had me so exhausted first thing this morning took no more than 10 minutes to get down. Oh well. Guess it means I better keep getting into shape!
I ate some food, drank more water, and laid down until David got back around 1:00. We packed up camp, ate some Nutella Roll-Ups for lunch, and put our packs on for the hike out. I am a MUCH happier hiker when going downhill, so we had a great time working our way back. Once down the trail (almost half the time it took us going up), we loaded up and drove to my parent's cabin in Silverthorne for showers and rest before driving down for the work-week that evening. My parents were up there as well, and we got a chance for a really nice catch up with them, too.

Another tournament down!
Crazy day, weather-wise. The morning was windy and cloudy with a bit of sun. After a few hours the rain came barreling in and poured on us for another three hours or so, and then the wind calmed down and the sun came out and cooked us for the last two hours.
We had 14 anglers today and paid out three spots.
The bite was tough for me. I had one 11.25-inch dink until about 9 AM, then added a 15.50. I hopped over to Robbins Pond around 10 AM and was able to cobble together a limit of small fish. My last—and biggest—entered my net at 1:56 PM, four minutes before the tournament's end.
Despite my struggling, plenty of fish were caught by the other guys. Some big girls, too, and one absolute BEAST! That would be Bruce Levy's 23-inch slooooooob!
(Adding insult to our injury, he also had a 20.25.)
Bruce thought he didn't have a scale, but it was in his yak all along. Bummer. The fish was over 7 pounds all day, though. No doubt.
And of course it was tournament lunker. Hard to beat a fish that big. Congrats, man!
Taking third place for the third time in a row (and fourth time this year): Donald Davis. He had a respectable 70.50 inches (as did Domenic Eno, in fact; but Don had the bigger fish for the tie-breaker). He pulled this off even after taking an old-man nap during the rainstorm.
Though the fish didn't come easy for me today, I somehow managed to haul in a decent limit of 75 inches. That was enough for second place.
And for the third time this year, Bruce Levy comes out on top, taking home the trophy, the money, and Edmar! Anchored by two big fish, Bruce laid 84.75 inches down on the board today. Dude is on FIYA! Congrats, man!
As always, I appreciate everyone coming out.
Our next tournament is an evening/night tournament at the Nip on July 22. We will be fishing from 4 PM till midnight. If you plan on fishing with us, make sure you have the appropriate lights on your person or kayak.
Before that, though, we will be hosting the KBF Trail Event on Lake Winnipesaukee. This one goes down on July 8 (click here for details).

Low dielectric constant materials are used as interlayer dielectrics in microelectronic structures, such as semiconductor structures, to reduce the RC delay and improve device performance. As device sizes continue to shrink, the dielectric constant of the material between metal lines must also decrease to maintain the improvement. Certain low-k materials have been proposed, including various carbon-containing materials such as organic polymers and carbon-doped oxides. Although such materials may serve to lower the dielectric constant, they may offer inferior mechanical properties such as poor strength and low fracture toughness. The eventual limit for a dielectric constant is k=1, which is the value for a vacuum. Methods and structures have been proposed to incorporate void spaces or "air gaps" in attempts to obtain dielectric constants closer to k=1. One major issue facing low-k void technology is how to remove sacrificial material to facilitate multi-layer structures. Another major issue facing low-k void technology is how to facilitate void creation while providing a structure which can withstand conventional processing treatments, such as chemical-mechanical polishing and thermal treatment, as well as post processing mechanical and thermo-mechanical rigors.
Accordingly, there is a need for a microelectronic device structure incorporating air gaps or voids which has low-k dielectric properties, can be used in multi-layer structures, and has acceptable mechanical characteristics during and after processing.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and is not limited in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements. Features shown in the drawings are not intended to be drawn to scale, nor are they intended to be shown in precise positional relationship.
In the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. The illustrative embodiments described herein are disclosed in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. The following detailed description is therefore not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the invention is defined only by the appended claims.
Referring to
The first ILD layer (102) is a composite dielectric material comprising a porous matrix material and a porogen material deposited together in a single layer as shown, with the porogen occupying pores defined by the porous matrix. A distinction is made between a "porous" material having pores, and a material having "voids", voids differing from pores in that voids are substantially unoccupied by solid material, whereas pores may or may not be so occupied. The porogen and matrix materials are selected to enable selective decomposition and removal of the porogen, without significant detriment to the matrix material. Such a combination of properties allows for a controlled conversion between a first ILD layer which is substantially solid, mechanically relatively robust, and electrically relatively high in capacitance, to a first ILD layer which may be substantially porous, mechanically weaker, and lower in capacitance at a desired point during the structure formation process. In particular, such a controlled conversion may be executed subsequent to process treatments where more mechanical robustness is preferred, such as polishing, trenching, and dielectric layer formation, as is discussed in further detail below.
The first ILD layer (102) preferably comprises a matrix material ("matrix") having pores of relatively uniform size and distribution within the volume occupied by the first ILD layer, the pores being substantially interconnected to facilitate decomposition and removal of portions of porogen material residing within the pores defined by the porous matrix material, to convert the pertinent pores to voids. In one embodiment porous matrix may comprise silicon dioxide or a compound having the molecular structure Six Oy Rz, in which R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, carbon, an aliphatic hydrocarbon and an aromatic hydrocarbon. When "R" is an alkyl or aryl group, the resulting composition is often referred to as "carbon-doped oxide" ("CDO"). When the porous matrix comprises a carbon-doped oxide, it preferably comprises between about 5 and about 50 atom % carbon. More preferably, such a compound includes about 15 atom % carbon. A polymeric material comprising cross-linked poly(phenylene), poly(arylether), polystyrene, crosslinked polyarylene, polymethylmethacrylate, aromatic polycarbonate, aromatic polyimide, or silsesquioxanes such as methyl silsesquioxane ("MSQ") and/or hydrogen silsesquioxane ("HSQ") also may be formed into porous matrix. While single-phase polymers by themselves generally do will not form interconnected pores, several preferred techniques are available to do so. In one embodiment, porogen particles having one dimension larger than the desired matrix film thickness may be used to ensure transport channeling across a polymer matrix. In another embodiment, modifications to the surface chemistry of a porogen material, or the inherent surface chemistry of porogen materials such as fumed silica, may produce an aggregated structure with high interconnectivity of porogens. In another embodiment, a polymer matrix may be combined with a sufficient amount of porogen such that the porogen will define pore interconnectivity within a polymer matrix. It is known, for example, that porogen loading greater than about 30% by weight percentage is likely to result in pore interconnectivity.
In the completed microelectronic structure, it is desirable to have a first ILD layer (102) comprising a porous matrix with relatively high porosity. Using porous matrix materials such as those mentioned herein, combined with structure-enhancing removable porogens such as those discussed below, ILD structures having aggregate void volumes, defined as the sum of the volumes of all pores not occupied by solid material, preferably greater than 80% of the total volume of the ILD structure may be successfully formed and left intact for subsequent device operation. Pores defined by the matrix may have sizes varying from about 5 angstroms to about 100 nanometers in average diameter, depending upon the size of the porogen in most combinations, the term "average diameter", conventionally calculated as twice the cube root of (0.75*actual pore volume/pi), being in reference to the fact that the pores generally are not perfectly spherical in shape. To facilitate the formation of other adjacent layers with substantially uniform surfaces, pores larger than 10 nanometers in diameter may not be desired.
In one embodiment, the porogen may be selectively decomposed and removed from the porous matrix of the first ILD layer on the basis of differences in thermal decomposition temperatures between the porous matrix material and the porogen. For example, a pairing of a porogen chosen from the group consisting of branched poly(p-xylene), linear poly(p-phenylene), linear polybutadiene, and branched polyethylene, which have thermal decomposition temperatures of about 425–435 degrees C., about 420–430 degrees C., about 400–410 degrees C., and about 400–410 degrees C., respectively, and a porous matrix material having a higher thermal decomposition temperature, suitable candidates comprising cross-linked poly(phenylene), poly(arylether), aromatic polyimides, and aromatic polycarbonates, each of which has a thermal decomposition temperature above 440 degrees C., may contribute to selective removal of a thermally decomposed porogen, or a "porogen decomposition", as facilitated, for example, by introduction of an oxygen or hydrogen rich carrier plasma to carry away, or remove, the decomposition, as is known to those skilled in the art as a standard plasma enhanced carrier technique. Other suitable materials for use as porogens, along with their respective thermal decomposition temperatures, include but are not limited to: poly(ethylene terephthalate) ("PET")—about 300 degrees C., polyamide-6,6 ("Nylon 6/6")—about 302 degrees C., syndiotactic polystyrene ("PS-syn")—about 320 degrees C., poly(e-caprolactone)—about 325 degrees C., poly(propylene oxide) ("PPO")—about 325–375 degrees C., polycarbonates—about 325–375 degrees C., poly(phenylene sulfide) ("PPS")—about 332 degrees C., polyamideimide ("PAI")—about 343 degrees C., polyphthalamide ("PPA", "Amodel")—about 350 degrees C., poly(a-methylstyrene) ("PMS")—about 350–375 degrees C., poly(ether ether ketone) ("PEEK")—about 399 degrees C., poly(ether sulfone) ("PES")—about 400 degrees C., poly(ether ketone) ("PEK")—about 405 degrees C. Thermally decomposing a porogen material may be facilitated using conventional heating equipment, such as a furnace or oven. Depending upon the materials selected, plasma tools may be appropriate as well, as would be apparent to one skilled in the art.
Many of the aforementioned polymeric porogen materials also may be selectively decomposed without substantial decomposition of the aforementioned preferred polymeric porous matrix materials by introducing chemical solvents and agents, such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, a versatile solvent used in many applications, cyclohexanone, a ketone solvent, ketenes such as 1-ene-3-cyclohexanone, hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, and solutions containing the cerium(IV) ion, to a porogen susceptible to chemical break-down by the pertinent chemical agents, and to matrix which preferably is not substantially effected by such chemical agent exposure. Polymeric porogen materials may need functionalization with polar groups such as hydroxy or alkoxy groups for solvent compatibility with the selected solvent or agent, as is convention to those skilled in the art. To clarify the simplified terminology used herein as associated with the thermal or chemical break-down of sacrificial materials for subsequent removal, references to "decompositions" and "decomposing" comprise reference to "dissolving" and "dissolution" as well, or more simply, "break-down" by thermal or chemical means.
Given the variety of suitable materials, many pairings of porous matrix and porogen may be successfully paired and selectively decomposed, depending upon the mode of decomposition, surrounding materials, and environmental limitations. Thermal and chemical modalities for facilitating selective decomposition and removal of porogen materials are preferred, in part because precise thermal and chemical treatments are convention in microelectronic device processing. In a preferred thermal transformation embodiment, both the porous matrix and porogen comprise polymeric dielectric materials, the porous matrix having a higher thermal decomposition temperature, in addition to a high glass transition temperature for thermo-mechanical stability. With such a pairing, the first ILD layer may be heated to a temperature above the thermal decomposition temperature for the porogen but below the thermal decomposition temperature for the porous matrix, to facilitate removal of the porogen decomposition before subsequent cooling. In a preferred chemical transformation embodiment, chemically-enhanced decomposition of the selected porogen material results is substantially no decompositon of the associated porous matrix material or other adjacent materials.
Preferred pairings of matrix and porogen materials, for example, include but are not limited to: an oligomeric porogen, such as a low molecular weight polystyrene, grafted as a side chain onto a tetraethylorthosilicate ("TEOS") porous matrix polymer; crosslinked polyarylene matrix combined with polystyrene porogen; silicon dioxide matrix with polyethylene oxide porogen; silicon dioxide matrix with polynorbornene-based porogen such as that sold under the trade name "Unity™400" by Promerus LLC; and CDO matrix with polyethylene or polyethylene oxide porogen. Each of these matrix materials has a higher thermal decomposition temperature as compared with the matched porogen, and is substantially insoluble in conventional chemical agents and solvents such as those mentioned above, while the paired porogens are soluble in such agents and solvents. In terms of thermal decomposition temperatures, low molecular weight polystyrene, polystyrene, polyethylene oxide, and polynorbornene thermally decompose at about 375, 375, 350, and 400–425 degrees Celsius, respectively, while TEOS and silicon dioxide thermally decompose at temperatures over 500 degrees Celsius, and crosslinked polyarylene thermally decomposes at about 400 degrees Celsius. Therefore, selective decomposition, either chemical or thermal, may be utilized to separate these pairings.

The resultant interconnect layer (105) has conductive layers (104, 107) positioned between remaining portions of the first ILD layer (102). The spacing between the conductive layers (104, 107) may vary with the feature size of the microelectronic structure as would be apparent to one skilled in the art, and preferably is between about 10 nanometers and about 1,000 nanometers.
It is important to note that while a damascene type process is illustrated in reference to
Depending upon the selected conductive material, a shunt layer may be formed over the conductive layers using conventional techniques and materials, to isolate the conductive layers from subsequent treatments and materials. With copper metal conductive layers, a metal shunt layer comprising, for example, cobalt or tungsten, is effective for isolating the copper. The shunt material is deposited using conventional techniques such as chemical vapor deposition, subsequent to a planarization treatment using known techniques such as chemical-mechanical planarization (hereinafter "CMP"). Shunt material deposited upon the exposed portions of the first ILD layer (102) may be removed using subsequent CMP or etch back, as would be apparent to those skilled in the art. The depiction in

Subsequent to the decomposition of at least a portion of the porogen using thermal energy, selective chemical solvents or agents, or other known selective decomposition techniques, the porogen decomposition or a portion thereof is removed from the first ILD layer (102), leaving voids defined by the matrix and any remaining porogen. With the aforementioned selective decompostion modalities, preferably the porogen is decomposed without substantial decomposition of the matrix. Selective thermal decomposition preferably comprises heating the porogen and matrix to a temperature above the thermal decomposition temperature of the porogen material, and below the thermal decomposition temperature of the matrix. Selective chemical decomposition preferably comprises exposing the porogen and matrix to a chemical agent which breaks up, dissolves, or decomposes the porogen, without any substantial effect to the matrix ("selective" to the porogen). Removal of decompositions may occur as a byproduct of decomposition process, as in the scenario wherein gases carrying portions of a porogen decomposition may be exhausted away from the porous matrix material given an available gradient pathway, or may occur as facilitated by introduction of reactive carriers within the proximity of the porogen decomposition using conventional techniques. Preferred reactive carriers, or "carrier plasmas", include oxygen and hydrogen rich plasmas, which are known to actively absorb and transport materials or portions thereof due to the high reactivity of oxygen and plasma. Chemical cleaning or etching agents, such as supercritical carbon dioxide, which are also known to absorb and transport decomposed materials, may also be used to remove porogen decompositions. For example, a porogen decomposition may be removed with the introduction and removal of supercritical carbon dioxide to carry the porogen decomposition away from the matrix. Plasma and supercritical carbon dioxide treatments require special process equipment and environments, as is convention to those skilled in the art. Therefore the "removing" subprocess may comprise an active or passive subprocess; active in the scenario wherein a gradient is actively created through, for example, introduction of a carrier plasma, and passive in the scenario wherein a gradient is present and a decomposition is allowed, for example, to exhaust away.

The second ILD layer (124) may comprise silicon dioxide (either undoped or doped with phosphorus or boron and phosphorus); silicon nitride; silicon oxy-nitride; porous oxide; an organic containing silicon oxide; or a polymer. Silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxy-nitride preferably have relatively high mechanical strength characteristics as compared with many suitable porous matrix materials. Also preferred are polymers or carbon doped oxides, as further described above, with a low dielectric constant: preferably less than about 3.5 and more preferably between about 1.5 and about 3.0. The second ILD layer (124) may also comprise an organic polymer selected from the group consisting of polyimides, parylene, polyarylethers, organosilicates, polynaphthalenes, polyquinolines, and copolymers thereof. For example, commercially available polymers sold by Honeywell Corporation and Dow Chemical Corporation under the trade names FLARE™ and SiLK™, respectively, may be used to form the second ILD layer (124). The second ILD layer (124) may alternatively comprise a carbon doped oxide, as described above.
Examples of other types of materials that may be used to form the second ILD layer (124) include aerogel, xerogel, and spin-on-glass ("SOG"). In addition, the second ILD layer (124) may comprise either hydrogen silsesquioxane ("HSQ"), methyl silsesquioxane ("MSQ"), or other materials having the molecular structure specified above, which may be coated onto the surface of a semiconductor wafer using a conventional spin coating process. Although spin coating may be a preferred way to form the second ILD layer (124) for some materials, for others chemical vapor deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, a SolGel process, or foaming techniques may be preferred.
The second ILD layer (124) may also comprise a porous matrix, or a porous matrix and removable porogen combination, analogous to those described above in reference to the dielectric layers (102) of

Nokia spearheads TDD-FDD convergence and TD-LTE-Advanced at GTI, Taiwan
The recent launch of the iPhone6 and iPhone6+ for all major bands of TD-LTE and TDD-FDD dual mode created quite a buzz at the GTI Taiwan event on September 16-17, 2014. China Mobile also announced the exciting news that it had hit the 30 million TD-LTE subscriber mark at the end of August 2014. Nokia then took the reins, highlighting the "under the hood" requirements for TDD-FDD convergence and TD-LTE-Advanced that will further cultivate the TD-LTE ecosystem, enable the Smart City concept for Taiwan and other countries, and deliver stunning user experiences.
Here's a short list of Nokia's contributions at GTI in Taiwan:
• Nokia and Chunghwa Telecom demonstrated TDD-FDD offloading and load balancing at the booth and TDD-FDD handover on the streets of Taipei. Nokia was first to showcase TDD-FDD offloading and load balancing at Mobile World Congress 2013 and now scores another first with this Smart City plan of Taiwan. Nokia and Chunghwa Telecom arranged a demo bus to showcase the TDD-FDD convergence.
• Multiple TDD-FDD indoor and outdoor demos, combined with TDD-FDD carrier aggregation achievements from Mobile Asia Expo 2014, provided convincing evidence on TDD-FDD convergence.
• Key Summit presentations included: Nokia's head of Technology for Greater China, Vicky Zhang, presented "Bringing convergence to life, looking ahead to the connected world". Noel Kirkaldy, TD-LTE Sales Development AMEA at Nokia, presented TD-LTE-Advanced. Nokia's head of Industry Environment APAC, Chang Jiang, co-authored, presented and published the GTI Licensed Shared Access (LSA) white paper. Yogendra Shukla, Nokia's head of TD-LTE Business Development, highlighted TDD-FDD load and traffic management.
The live field demonstrations of Nokia and Chunghwa Telecom provided first-hand experience of TDD-FDD convergence using seamless TDD-FDD handovers over four high-data usage applications: Hami TV, HD video streaming, HD conference call, and 3D map navigation were used in the "TDD-FDD LTE bus". The 20 minute, 2 km demo route was installed with TD-LTE and FDD LTE frequency bands so that guests could test each application and then verify them with the monitoring tool. The National Communications Commission (NCC) temporarily granted bands 3 and 41 to help make this eleventh GTI workshop a success.

Vegetables Juice, spiced up with turmeric and ginger, boosted up with energy and winter side effect immunity.
Lately, I was under attack of winter side effects, as weather is playing hide and seek in Karachi and no body is safe from its game here. My whole family is facing hardship in keeping their heads above water. Hope you all are safe and healthy at your sides, friends.
So, due to all this weather drama, I needed to play a stiff drama in return. For this, I Pinterest (search) for cold remedy and found numbers of drinks, smoothies and teas. Each one had unique way to pass you through health and wealth. Mixturing from these all, I develop Vegetable Spice Juice, which was totally yummy and, of course, so good for health as contain carrots and beetroot. Best for cold and flu prevention as contain turmeric and ginger. Also sweetened and flavored a bit with jaggery and lemon. Over all it has everything your body will need to get well and active. Go try it yourself and have a safe and healthy winter, Thank me later!

Book 2 in the Mad Dog series.
Four geological scientists go missing in the Swiss Alp's when they apparently wander into Arimaspi territory. It is up to the Mad Dogs to retrieve them because the whole situation stinks of the Organization.
However, it's not Organization Operatives the Mad Dogs encounter but instead the Watcher who is obsessed with the Unit, especially its newest member.
Author Note: This book contains adult m/m sexual situations and is intended for readers of legal age in the country in which they reside.
I read Sixth (the first book in this series) and loved how different it was. And that drew me into the series as a whole.
In this book we get to spend more time with the Mad Dogs and get to watch as Brian starts to grow closer to each of them. I loved how each character was expanded upon in this book and so we were able to connect with them all a little bit better.
There is of course the drama and action that happens, with the twists of Markus realizing that he now has a new third form. I also loved the inclusion of the Watcher, and I have a feeling that he is going to end up playing a very important role in this series!
Routine training for the Mad Dogs turns out to be anything but routine for Brian Hay. Finally bonded to the rest of the pack, there is only one last step to make him an official Mad Dog: meet the Council representatives.
What should have been standard operating procedure between the Mad Dogs and the Council turns into a mission like none other they had been sent on before… to save Markus and Brian.
Author Note: This book contains adult m/m sexual situations and is intended for readers of legal age in the country in which they reside.
I can say that this book kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next! It seemed like the pages couldn't turn quick enough on my kindle because I just had to find out what was going to happen.
After already being invested in this series, the fact that Markus and Brian are taken, it destroyed me and I was almost in tears while reading — hoping that the other Mad Dogs could get to them and save them.
This is a true series and so it must be read in order, but it is totally worth it in my opinion.
There were so many twists and turns in this book that will keep you wondering, and interested, and trying to figure out who exactly is on the side of the Mad Dogs, and who is against them.

Ligue 1 round-up
Toulouse jumped up to second in Ligue 1 after coming from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at Auxerre.
By Steve Pass
Last Updated: 28/02/09 11:05pm
Toulouse jumped up to second in Ligue 1 after coming from behind to earn a draw at Auxerre.
Ireneusz Jelen put the home side in front in the 25th minute, before Bryan Bergougnoux came off the bench to equalise with nine minutes to go.
The point sees Toulouse jump from fourth to second on goal difference - six points behind leaders Lyon, having played a game more - while Auxerre remain in tenth.
Le Mans rose to 11th - a point behind - thanks to a 2-0 home victory over bottom side Le Havre.
Their win came via goals from two of their substitutes - Modibo Maiga opened the scoring on 63 minutes before Gervinho got the second 13 minutes later.
Two goals within five first-half minutes saw Valenciennes beat Lille 2-0 and move two points clear of the drop zone into 16th.
Gael Danic opened the scoring in the 30th minute before Jean-Claude Darcheville then doubled the advantage.
Sochaux rose to third-from-bottom, and are now only in the drop zone on goal difference, after a crucial home win over eighth-placed Nice.
Vaclav Sverkos got the all important winner on 67 minutes, with the victory seeing his side leapfrog St Etienne in the table.
Nantes and Grenoble are both three points above the drop-zone after their 1-1 draw in Ligue 1's other Saturday game.
Ivan Klasnic scored for Nantes in the 38th minutes before Sandy Paillot got a last-gasp equaliser to earn the visitors a share of the spoils.

Led Zeppelin duo in court to face man accusing them of ripping off Stairway to Heaven U.S. band Spirit claims Stairway to Heaven's opening riff was taken from their song They say Led Zeppelin heard it when they toured together in the 60s Taurus was released in 1968 and was a main part of their live sets Stairway To Heaven came out in 1971 and propelled Led Zeppelin to stardom The song is considered one of the most widely heard compositions in rock history and is the signature song of Led Zeppelin, which broke up in 1980 By Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 00:53 EST, 15 June 2016 | Updated: 03:23 EST, 15 June 2016 Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have arrived at court to face claims they copied a guitar riff on Stairway To Heaven. The British musicians are accused of plagiarizing the instrumental track Taurus by the US band Spirit when they wrote the classic rock song, which was released in 1971. A lawsuit has been filed by Michael Skidmore, the trustee of Spirit's guitarist Randy Wolfe - known by the nickname Randy California - who died in 1997 having never taken legal action over the song. +11 +11 Who really wrote it? Jimmy Page, left, of Led Zeppelin laid down the guitar parts for Stairway To Heaven, but it is now claimed that the notes in the song's opening bars were in fact written by Randy California, right +11 Rocking: Page plucks one of his famous solos on stage with Led Zeppelin in Sydney, Australia, one year after the release of Stairway To Heaven on their album Led Zeppelin IV +11 Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is shown sitting in federal court for a hearing in a lawsuit involving their rock classic song Stairway to Heaven +11 Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant (L) and guitarist Jimmy Page are shown in this courtroom sketch A jury will rule on the case at the US District Court in Los Angeles, where Plant, Page and their bandmate John Paul Jones are expected to give evidence. Led Zeppelin were the opening act for Spirit when the British band made their US debut in December 1968 in Denver, according to documents filed with the court. Led Zeppelin's lawyers have argued that both Stairway To Heaven and Taurus use notes and combinations that have been circulating in music for centuries. The lawsuit comes after a US federal jury found last year that Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams had copied a Marvin Gaye song to create their 2013 hit Blurred Lines and awarded Gaye's children $7.4 million. A judge trimmed the award in that case and the verdict is under appeal. +11 Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, left, and singer Robert Plant are pictured together in 2012 +11 +11 Way back when: Led Zeppelin singer Plant (left) and guitarist Page (right) say they wrote Stairway to Heaven in a remote cottage in Wales +11 Randy California's old band Spirit on stage in 1969, around the time they say that Led Zeppelin would have heard them playing their song Taurus, which it is claimed that Page took the guitar riff from +11 Led Zeppelin IV album sleeve: The case began with the jury being played various performances of both songs, including part of Led Zeppelin's recording of Stairway to Heaven +11 Mark Andes, a founding member of the band Spirit, arrives to federal court for a hearing in a lawsuit involving Led Zeppelin's rock classic song Stairway to Heaven in Los Angeles The jury was sworn in as district court judge Gary Klausner warned the panel not to read news reports about the case or do their own research online. 'The plaintiff asserts infringement of copyright of a musical composition known as Taurus,' the judge said. 'The defendants deny these claims. 'You must decide this case solely on the evidence received during this trial. 'You must not be exposed to any other information about the case.' Spirit bassist Mark Andes believes Led Zeppelin would have heard the song when the two bands were on tour together in the late 1960s - which they then copied for their smash hit song. 'It would typically come after a big forceful number and always got a good response. They would have seen it in that context,' Andes said back in 2014. 'It is fairly blatant, and note for note. It would just be nice if the Led Zeppelin guys gave Randy a little nod. That would be lovely.' It's not the first time that Led Zeppelin have been taken to court over their music. Guitarist Page has previously admitted taking inspiration from blues and folk musicians in crafting the band's hits, although he claimed he 'always tried to bring something fresh'. Nevertheless, songwriters have over the decades brought successful legal challenges to the group and its label, forcing them to pay royalties and add credits to songs they claimed as their own. Speaking last year, the former Spirit bassist Mark Andes said he thought that his former bandmate deserved overdue credit for the 'fairly blatant' copying of his music by Page and Plant Album listings for Whole Lotta Love, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, The Lemon Song and Dazed And Confused have all had to be amended to include names of artists which courts ruled were the true originators of the music. But the row over Stairway To Heaven, the song which arguably propelled them to rock megastardom, could be the biggest yet. In 2008, Conde Nast Portfolio magazine estimated that the song had earned at least $525million dollars in royalties and record sales. It appears on America's third biggest-selling album of all time, Led Zeppelin IV. Randy California's family said the reason they waited so long to take legal action was because they could never afford it. U.S. lawyer Francis Alexander Molofiy, who is handling the case, said: 'The idea behind this is to make sure that Randy California is given a writing credit on Stairway to Heaven. It's been a long time coming.' And, of course, there's the money. California drowned in 1997 while rescuing his son from a rip current while on holiday in Hawaii and the royalties from his music career are now collected by a trust. The beneficiary of that trust is the Randy California Project in Ventura County, California, which teachers youngsters music. Led Zeppelin would not comment on the case.

Social networking sites are great for maintaining and renewing relationships. But Facebook and other sites can also lead to shattered relationships.
According to a new study, the three most-common negative experiences are:
• Ignoring or denying "friend" requests.
• Deleting public messages or identification tags.
• Seeing a "Top Friends" list on which one doesn't appear or is ranked lower than expected.
In a study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, Robert S. Tokunaga of the University of Arizona surveyed 197 college students concerning their social networking experiences.
More than one-quarter said they had been denied or been ignored regarding a "friend" request, and just under 25 percent had someone delete a public message or identification tag.
All three of the major negative experiences are ones that can be found only in the world of social networking, Tokunaga points out. In real life, one does not walk up to another person and ask to "friend" him or her.
"People using social networking sites are unable to apply their own knowledge of social norms in offline settings to the online domain," he says.
Still, it pays to know which social networking behaviors are liable to irritate others, Tokunaga says.
"It is not advisable to engage in these acts without presenting a legitimate reason for the behaviors," he says.
