Works Great!
By Miniequine on Nov 26, 2017
Priced right and does the job as it should. Being made of lightweight plastic, I'm hoping it holds up and does not break. Time will tell.
By grammyk on Oct 8, 2017
I was very unhappy with this scooper. It broke after 2 or 3 uses. On the upside, everything else I have ordered from Chewy I've been very happy with
The design of this scooper is not what it seems!
By Cheryl on May 6, 2017
I ordered this scooper as I had one for long time by this brand name 4PAWS ALLEN scooper but the size I had was smaller. Saw the bigger one so I ordered it! Well, the "jagged teeth" design was only on one side and the other side was a straight edge design?! Why was this designed like this I do not know. It DOES NOT pick up poop very well at all! The one I have has jagged teeth on BOTH sides of the scooper. If you want jagged teeth on both sides, then this is not the one to order. Im sorry for not writing a better review on this item but it should state the design of the scooper or show a picture of the scooper's bottom as to how its really designed. Am disappointed in this item :(
Best Scooper

Doesn't Work Well
By StellasMom on Jul 2, 2017
Advertised that it work on grass but it doesn't have enough power to pull through the grass and pick up the poop. Found another one that works better; thank goodness.
My new scooper
By Sadie on May 20, 2017
This scooper works really well in grass. I love the fact that I don't have to bend down now as I'm 70 yrs old & have a bad back. Wish I would have invested in this product a long time ago. I would recommend this to anyone who has the task of picking up after their pets.
Should be made of metal, this won't last long.
By Scooper on May 9, 2017
I was hoping the unit was metal and not plastic. I bought this to use for a Great Dane and a Boston Terrier. Of course the Great Dane waste picks up easily on the surface grass. The small Boston Terrier waste drops down a little below the surface grass and the teeth on this until does not get down and bite into the smaller waste. I will have to purchase another Scooper.
Love the antlers
By Molly on May 2, 2017
Just got our recent food order and the antler we ordered. Was very pleased with the quality of the antler. Will definitely order that treat again. Speedy delivery too!!!
Works fine.
By SadDogMommy on Feb 20, 2017
I think this works pretty well. There are a few pieces that I had a hard time getting out when they're kinda buried down in the grass. There's a certain technique to it where you kinda have to twist on the closed grass before pulling up. My husband took one look at this and decided it wasn't going to work. So he is continuing to pick it up by hand while I'm using this. I'm much happier I don't have to get up close and personal with the waste!
By Retiredtaxlady on May 8, 2017
It came in pieces with NO instructions to put it together. It's just pieces of plastic so I'm concerned about trying to force the pieces together.

What is this trend called South-South trade, how is it growing and what does it mean for Canadian exporters?
The world is living through a dramatic period of economic and geopolitical transformation. What sets it apart from all others? The simple answer is "speed."
Centuries were once required for global power shifts to occur. Now it's decades – best seen in the sharp increase in emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Africa trading with each other in recent years. Given that these countries are mainly in southern locations (except Russia and some surrounding markets), this trend has been nicknamed South-South trade.
The North, by contrast, is broadly defined as the highly industrialized members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), with a few minor exceptions.
To illustrate, the South side's Emerging 7 – Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC), Indonesia, Mexico and Turkey – will generate over half of the world's economic growth by 2025, compared with just 25 per cent last year. This year, for the first time, Chinese exports to the North will be eclipsed by its South-bound exports. Indeed, China alone now accounts for 40 per cent of South-South trade, and Asia for three-quarters.
By the numbers
Back up just two decades and South-South trade was a low one-digit share of global trade. According to the World Trade Organization, this swelled to more than 16 per cent by 2007 – and to roughly a quarter of global trade by 2010 – a surge aided by the global recession.
Will the South-South Trend Continue?
Three compelling factors point to ongoing momentum in South-South trade in the coming decades:
- Technologically, the South can leapfrog over the often dated infrastructure of the North to next-generation systems, enhancing South-South competitiveness and trade potential.
- The strength of the South's financial markets has increased in the wake of the West's financial crises. But the real motor is the rise of personal incomes. China reports its middle class is growing by Canada's population every year. India claims it will soon match this pace. Brazil is adding about five million per year, and so on.
- There are dozens of new South-South trade initiatives, exemplified by the ratification last fall by India and South Africa of a preferential trade agreement to achieve $15 billion of bilateral trade per year.
Slower growth prospects in the North lead researchers for the Asian Development Bank to project North-North trade shrinking from some 50 per cent to 30 per cent of total global trade by 2030. These economies are boosting their fortunes by engaging in North-South trade, which is growing at a 15 per cent annual clip. Even so, this pales against the consistent 21 per cent annual growth in South-South trade.
As well, South-South outward foreign direct investment rose from 25 per cent of the global total to 34 per cent by 2010. Close to two-thirds of these flows are now to other developing countries, and most are greenfield investments (brand new facilities). The BRIC nations make up 60 per cent of these investments.
Another key sign is the rising penetration of South firms in industries where the North has enjoyed an advantage – such as heavy capital equipment. A 2011 study by the Economist Intelligence Unit observed that OECD countries were feeling the strain from Chinese export competition in 37 industries.
What's up in the North?
Many northern companies still have a dated approach to emerging market strategy. Traditionally, this has meant locating in emerging markets for access to their natural resources, outsourcing potential, lower-cost labour, and growing consumer and business markets. Increasingly, though, emerging markets are also valuable for their South-South trade potential.
This new trend suggests that international marketing strategy has to increasingly decipher which supply chains offer the best South-bound trade opportunities. The reasoning is simple: why just target the South's 139 markets individually, when you know that they are becoming increasingly interlinked?
For example, U.S. foreign affiliate sales (FAS) are valued at three times the amount of exports leaving U.S. shores. Similarly, Japan's FAS are three times its direct exports, and the U.K.'s are five times more.
In Canada, exports to our traditional OECD customers have been flat over the last decade – a disaster for a trading nation. Prospects for improvement remain modest over the long term. According to the OECD, the annual U.S. growth trend in 2013 and beyond is just 2.2 per cent – it's even less in Europe and Japan.
By contrast, China is expected to see an average of 9 per cent annual growth, while India weighs in at almost 8 per cent, and so do a good chunk of Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern and African economies. Growth data is more modest for Russia and Latin America, with Brazil's up to 5 per cent and Mexico, 3.5 per cent.
Oh Canada or oh-oh
Trade is starting to turn around for Canada. Since 2003, the swift currency appreciation has kicked off a simultaneous increase in trade diversification. Our trade to emerging markets grew by more than 10 per cent annually, leading to a jump in the South's share of our merchandise exports (from 4 to 11 per cent). In other words, we can thank emerging markets for over two-thirds of Canada's export growth through most of the past decade.
Over the same period, Canadian affiliate sales in emerging countries tripled to 28 per cent of all such foreign sales – while the U.S. share tumbled from two-thirds to half. In 2009, this pattern briefly pushed Canada's FAS ahead of domestic exports for the first time, before weaker sales from developed markets reversed the rankings in 2010 (see graph).
Still, Canada's share of our emerging market trade to total exports is low, compared to many other OECD countries, and so is our growth of foreign affiliate sales in the South-South market space.
Whether we are ready or not, new factors – combined with the ongoing high loonie and slow growth in key industrialized markets – will keep on pushing Canadians beyond their trading comfort zones. Like other developed economies, Canada faces an acute labour crunch by 2016. Trade with the South, and their southern supply chains, will enable us to "import" labour without moving it. This in turn offers opportunities for "scarce" and experienced Canadian workers to move farther up the value chain.
South Selling South: 20 Top Traders
Of the top 20 South-South exporters, 14 are from Asia; the others are Brazil (10th), Argentina (14th), Chile (16th), South Africa (17th), Mexico (18th) and Nigeria (20th).
The bottom line: Achieving a steady share of South-South trade will demand a much more aggressive pace of Canadian direct investment abroad than we now see – to the tune of roughly $250 billion by 2020. This would help our companies develop the economies of scale that can keep them globally competitive.

Pantone: the global authority on colour, has announced Greenery as the 2017 Colour of the Year. According to The Home stylist – the grassy pick is spot on. 'I love the colour choice! As a fan of flowers and greenery, I think it's a really refreshing shade for Aussie interiors, and an easy one to work with,' says Emma Blomfield.
The fresh and zesty yellow-green shade was chosen for its revitalising nature. Pantone says it: '…evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.'
It's this connection to the natural world that makes Greenery such a versatile shade in the home. Blomfield says there are less rules when it comes to decorating with green as opposed to other striking shades (such as red and orange) because we've seen it appear so readily with colour in all around us. 'Think hot pink roses, canary yellow lilies, and peach tulips with green against them in the garden or at the local florist, so there's no challenge to use it in our homes for 2017.'
Like all trends, her advice is to make the most of it as a secondary shade, not a hero colour. Use it in soft furnishings such as cushions, bed linen or a throw rug for the sofa for an instant refresh. 'I would also ensure Greenery is featured somewhere in a piece of art in the same room, too, to tie the look together,' she adds.
Despite the lack of rules, it's always important to edit your striking shades before they get too overwhelming. In the case of greenery, it's best to avoid too much of the shade in solid form on the floor as it can start to look a little Astro-turf like.

London's overnight tube: Ghost army of workers paid £1.5m for service that could never run
A GHOST army of rail workers is being paid £1.5million a month for a service which may never run.
The overnight service may never run
The 500 workers have been employed since September to operate London Mayor Boris Johnson's pet project - a planned weekend night service on five London Underground lines.
But a dispute with rail unions has already forced the September 12 launch to be cancelled.
The unions, which are meeting management at Acas this week, have vowed the Night Tube will not be introduced this year.
Mr Johnson has now signalled that he could live without the service, casting further doubt on the scheme.
But yesterday the Taxpayers' Alliance said passengers will pay through higher fares for Transport for London spending millions on a non-existent service.
TfL gets £3.1billion a year in Government money including grants and cash from business rates.
The launch date of September 12 had previously been cancelled
No-one will work more hours than they do today. Drivers have the same number of weekends as now
Jonathan Isaby, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance said: "It's no wonder fares are increasing when TfL is paying additional staff for a service that hasn't even started yet.
"The RMT union has been causing misery for Londoners for years with their reckless strikes, so TfL should have expected they'd continue in their ways and plan accordingly."
The 500 recruits include 137 train drivers who LU says are "supporting training and familiarisation in the Night Tube lines".
There are also 300 part-time staff among the recruits who are working at stations and in engineering posts.
Details of the extra costs of recruiting and paying the Night Tube staff emerged as LU pushes through a voluntary redundancy programme designed to shed 830 jobs, mainly in ticket offices.
Labour's Transport spokesman at the London Assembly, Val Shawcross, said: "It's a huge amount of money that must be blowing their plans They've obviously pressed the button too soon in terms of putting them on the payroll."
The dispute over the Night Tube has already caused two 24-hour walkouts which caused chaos across the capital.
Union concerns mean that the launch of the overnight service keeps being delayed
The Night Tube is intended to run 24 hour services on Fridays and Saturdays on the Jubilee and Victoria Lines and on parts of the Central, Northern and Piccadilly lines.
The unions say they are in favour of the Night Tube but are seeking better pay and conditions.
But last week Mr Johnson appeared to distance himself form the project which was announced two years ago.
He told LBC: "I've got to tell you this is something that the city of London has done without for 150 years. What I won't do is pay an unreasonable price for it, which Londoners would feel in their fares.
"There's a very good deal on the table. I just hope that members of the Tube unions will get a chance to look at it.
"No-one will work more hours than they do today. Drivers have the same number of weekends as now.
"I want you to know that this is something I think we should have but - I hope my attitude is clear - it is not something that I regard as absolutely critical."
But yesterday LU's chief operating officer Steve Griffiths said: "We remain operationally ready to deliver the Night Tube and have hired 500 mostly part-time staff to run it.
"Those staff are fully employed serving customers in stations and running trains across the Tube network.
Unions are determined to get their members a good deal
"This includes filling vacancies that have come up through normal staff turnover and providing cover for station staff undergoing our comprehensive new customer service training programme. We are due back at ACAS this week, when we hope to move forward in our discussions with the unions, so we can deliver the Night Tube service for London."
Labour London Assembly Transport Spokesperson, Val Shawcross said: "Boris Johnson's decision to announce the Night Tube, without any real plan for how he would deliver it, was completely ill-judged.
"It's entirely farcical that whilst ticket office staff are being asked to consider voluntary redundancy, TfL have chosen to employ additional people to deliver a service that doesn't even exist.
"We're seeing a huge amount of money going down the drain, money that should be going towards delivering the projects Londoners actually need, such as boosting the capacity of our overcrowded tubes and buses.
"Boris Johnson failure to give this project the consideration it needs will leave Londoners not only disappointed, it will leave a significant dent in our transport resources."

A/N: This is my Easter gift to you all. And someone requested a slave/master thing in indulge, but I thought I'd do a whole little story for them, But I can't find who sent me the request. T___T I'm sorry, I looked through all my emails, but I can't find the name, well this is for you.
Edit: This mini one short/ Possibly mini story is for you Inochinen97 :) Your request is granted. :)
A young, impatient teenager or should I say man, since at the age of eighteen is when they say your are officially a man, is sitting down, drumming his fingers on the side of his chair.
Tap tap tap
He had been sitting there for a good three hours, his ass was becoming numb, and all because he had to pick his very own slave. It was a tradition. A family tradition, not that he minded it, a slave would be nice. Reducing his workload, but he didn't know of the huge ordeal it was. He had seen wave after waves of girls but, none of them were right. I mean, he could have picked the first one just to get this thing over with, but now that he was here, he mine as well pick an attractive one, hey- he's going to have to see her everyday, it has to be someone he can stand to stare at.
he waved his hand,
"Next." He mumbled.
He had seen so many disappointed girls walk off angrily. But, he didn't care, he wasn't heartless, some were just, how should I say it, well blunt is the best method; Desperate. They wore slutty clothing, showing of there over large breast it was down right degrading.
The young man sighed as he waved his hand, meaning next, a man standing beside him spoke,
"It's been three hours, just pick one."
"If it's my slave, I want the best one."
Itachi sighed, and walked away. He was going to go get something to eat, if he waited along until Sasuke had picked one, he might be dead.
It when Sasuke was at the brink of disappointment and just wanted to get things over with, was when a young pink haired girl, with bright green eyes was shoved, literally shoved in front of him, she stumbled, almost falling. He looked at her attire. She was wearing an oversized red tank top, showing the top of her black lacy bra, shorts that barely covered anything. He looked up to her face, she looking up, almost as if she was praying. She was whispering something to herself over and over. He could hardly make it out, but by the movement of her lips, it was unmistakable.
"Don't pick me, don't pick me"
it was just too tempting. He pointed to her, her heart was beating, waiting for the hand to wave her away, but her heart sank, when he motioned her forward.
The chatter in the room ceased immediately as when his hand gestured her forward, when she didn't move, a guard prodded her forward, whispers started, she didn't listen, she didn't want to, and they were probably all about her anyways.
She took a step forward, and another step. Then stopped. He boy just smiled as he beckoned her to move closer, she took another step and stopped.
He smiled.
"You," he pointed at her, "shall be my slave."
"I refuse to." She spat.
The guard behind her poked her once again for her behaviour.
"You have no choice." He said, smirking at her, as she frowned.
"There's nothing in this deal that benefits me." She looked angrily at him
"I'm sure we can work something out."
"As if." She muttered under her breathe.
she sighed there was no way she really could back out of this, once picked it was not an option to just say 'no', but she tried anyways. Giving up, was the only option she had left and no matter how much she refused to believe it; it was inevitable.
The guards had removed everyone from the room, dozen of young girls poured out in anger and disappointment. Mostly anger since they weren't picked. One of the guards took the 'chosen slave' girl away. Sasuke got up, only right when Itachi came back and smiled,
"Finally, you picked one." He smiled. "As she's a fine girl too, good choice." As he slapped Sasuke hard on the back, Sasuke turned to his brother, "Now what?" Itachi burst out laughing,
trying to hold the laugh back "Now what." He mocked, "You don't know?"
A blank expression on his brother's face made his smile disappear, "You really don't know." Itachi said. "Huh."
"No. I don't." he seethed. He was angered, he didn't know what was going on, and he was clueless, not in the loop.
"Sasuke, do you know what this ceremony is?"
"To celebrate me becoming a man, and I get to pick my very own slave. I'm not stupid.
"Sasuke," He said as he put his arm around his brother, bringing him closer to him, "This is a celebration to celebrate you becoming a man."
"Yes I know that." Angered by his brother repeating the same thing he had just said over.
"Sasuke, "he held onto his bother shoulders, "Becoming a man doesn't mean picking a stupid slave."
Sasuke looked up to him,
"Then why the fuck did I have to sit while thousand of girls came in here looking like sluts-"he stopped cutting himself short.
Oh god.
Itachi stared at his brother; he knew what this tradition was about, "Sasuke," he said grasping his shoulders, "This tradition is losing something, something that you lose to make you a man."
Sasuke slapped his hands away from him, "I got it already, you didn't need to explain it that far. I got it, it's very obvious now. Thank you."
He eyed him.
"What kind of fucked up tradition is this?" Sasuke said.
"A good one. And plus, she's a virgin." He nudged him.
Sasuke mouth was open ajar.
"Were," he paused, "All those girls virgins?"
"Of course." He said, "The tradition states that you have to defile a virgin to become a man, you can't have a whore!"
He licked his lips, "Holy crap." He said, as his hand raked through his hair.
"Thousand of girls waiting to be picked by you." He drew closer, "wanting no, desperately, eagerly wanting to lose their virginity." He smiled as he started walking away, "Have fun tonight, little brother, have fun becoming a man, hope she isn't too much of a fighter that one."
After a long ass shower, and a good nutritious meal, Sasuke was only wearing his boxers when he pushed into a gigantic room, along with his newly appointed, "sex slave."
the door closed tight and he looked over at her, her long pink hair was resting at her shoulders and she wasn't wearing any shorts, but her over sized red tank top was still on, he figured she fought to keep it on, and they probably just let her, more fun for him they thought.
She glared at him as she crossed her arms.
"I'm not having sex with you." She said bluntly.
He just stared at her. A smile played on his lips,
"Well fortunately for you, if I'd known that I had to fuck a virgin, I wouldn't have picked you."
Her eyes narrowed to slits, "Excuse me!?" she seethed,
"You have no experience, no knowledge, you'll probably just lie down like a stick, wanting me to do all the work."
He walked past her, his shoulder touched her, or more like bashed against her, knocking her slightly off balance as he flung himself on the bed.
"I'd rather stage it then actually do this."
That was it.
She fumed.
He picks her,
goes through all that trouble,
and then he thinks she is useless?
Not wanted?
Not good enough!
Oh that's fucking it.
I'd rather have sex and prove his ass wrong then sit her waiting for time to past.
Her hands found the bottom of her red tank top and pulled it over her head, his eyes glanced her way, looking mildly interested as she took it off, only in her black lace bra and matching panties, she walked over to the bed, moving her hips as she walked, crawled on to the bed, and crawled on top of him, her hands by his side, her knees at his waist.
He wasn't expecting….that. His cock was starting to harden; he tried to think of something else. But, he wasn't expecting her to jump him, and tear off her clothes so quickly, his mouth watered.
"For someone who isn't interested, you don't seem to be stopping me." She said, flatly, smiling as she spoke.
"Why would I? I said you wouldn't be any good, not that you aren't interesting." He lifted his head, his lips touching her ear, "You'll be a disappointment."
Her hand shot to his head, as she forcefully grabbed his raven locks, roughly bringing his face to her lips, and she pressed her lips hard against him, giving him the best, roughest kiss she could muster. The lips began moving, her tongue inserting into his mouth. She slowly pulled back, her lips lingering on his,
A smug look on her face.
"So you're a good kisser, but you'll still will suck in the sack."
"Says you."
"I know."
"You don't know."
"You're right, I don't, but I'd rather not find out." His hands wrapped around her, and pulled her down, switching positions, so he was on top, and she was lying down.
"But, we could test it." He smirked.
As his hands coyly unclasped her bra, letting her supple beasts pour out, bouncing just a tad from the lack of support his hand traced over them.
"Not bad."
She rolled her eyes, "Glad I have your approval."
He smirked, "You're welcome, Slave."
"Does that mean," As her finger traced from his down his muscular chest, "I should call you master?"
"Indeed." He exhaled.
She smiled, as her hand stroked his face, and then,
"My name is Sakura, Not slave. And I will not, I refuse, decline, reject to ever calling you master."
"I'm sure I could persuade you."
"I doubt it."
His head leaned down, resting in the nape of her neck, as he began kissing the side of her neck, she looked up at the ceiling, squirming in his grasp from the contact, he was giving her goosebumps, all over.
His kissing began traveling down her neck, to her breast, there were harden already, he smirked.
This seemed too easy.
But, then again, his member was already dangerously hard; there was no way to hide it. I mean, a half naked girl under you, it's kind of hard not to be turned on, especially if you picked her because she was very…attractive.
He leaned on one hand, while the other hand stroked the contours of her body. Her legs squirmed beneath him from his touch, while he began licking, biting, her.
Almost, animal like – rough, hard, and to the point.
Her hands flung to his back, her fingernails grazing his skin. They traced, and moved all around his back, tiring to focus, trying not to get lost in his magical touch. One of her hands, carefully, slyly, swirled around to his stomach feeling his abs, moving up his arms, grasping it.
He was good;
And she?
She was exotic, attractive,
and down right irresistible.
His hands edged towards the hem of her panties, slowly pulling them down, eyes lighting up at what he saw. He looked up to her, she was intently staring at his, caught in her gaze he bent his head down towards her, a quick light kiss, but as soon as he pulled back, he went back for another, her hand that gripped his arm moved to his face, pulling him closer to her, she moved her leg up and around his hips, she could feel it against her core. Her tongue slipping back into his mouth, biting on his lips, she moved one of her hands down his back, and his side, to his boxer, crafty pulling them down.
With each action she preformed, he had lost himself in her. Over and over again. He didn't even realize that they both were completely naked until she broke the kiss and he glanced down to see his penis.
He looked up to her, his eyebrow raised as if asking her, when did that happen, but she only smiled, her eyes half lidded.
Her arms wrapped around him, her fingernails digging into his skin, waiting for the pain, he began, he slowly guided it into her, slowly, gently, easing it in. looking up to her eying her for every inch he went into her, waiting for a sign of her wincing, he would stop, he would reposition, but nothing, she had her eyes shut, nails began sharply digging into his back, yet no sound of pain left her lips. He hesitated, debating whether he should continue or not, her hand patted his back, gesturing she wanted this, that this was okay.
He went in deeper, still eying her, and then he went for it, the rest he pushed in. she winced, he apologized, but she said nothing. They began rocking, slowly, awkwardly together. It took a while before they both got the rhythm right; Moving together, still falling out of place once in a while. Her mouth opened and closed, half moaning half struggling to keep her self sane from the slight pain.
"Oh master." she said, as he rocked deep inside of her.
In only took around an hour maybe a half, who was really counting? Before they both collapsed, tired, they both didn't even orgasm, it was just, different. Yet, both glad they experienced it together, even if they didn't say anything.
As they lay there, they let each others hands wander, touch each others body, and Sasuke…
He really did feel like a man.
or a master,
and he liked his slave. He liked her ALOT.

Flagstaff, AZ (2010) – An artist who wishes to remain anonymous has been transforming the buildings of Flagstaff, Arizona into gallery walls for his black-and-white photographs. The anonymous photographer enlarged his photographs, printed them on paper, and affixed them this July to the sides of buildings all around this July to the sides of buildings all around Flagstaff. His hope is that the work, which he's calling E-VO-LU-TION + JETSONORAMA, will inspire conversations, a sense of community, and interest in and engagement with public art. He also hopes other artists will join him in the project (which is part of the reason for his anonymity: He wants the project to feel like it belongs to everyone).
The installation process was as important to the artist as the photographs themselves. While installing the pieces, he struck up conversations with community members and he hopes watching the installation inspired them to think more about the role of public art and public space. The outdoor pieces were accompanied by photographs, also by the anonymous artist, inside the Flagstaff Photography Center through the month of July. The outdoor images remain up as long as the elements allow.

(BPT) - Gastroesophageal reflux is a condition that can cause heartburn symptoms. Heartburn is described as a burning sensation felt in the center of the chest, and occurs when acid from the stomach is forced back up into the esophagus. Symptoms of heartburn can last for several hours and often become worse after eating.
Frequent heartburn could be a symptom of a more serious condition, such as acid reflux disease, so it's important to know the facts versus the myths.
Common Myths about Frequent Acid Reflux
Commonly referred to as GERD, or Gastroesophageal reflux disease, this condition occurs when acid in the stomach sweeps up into the esophagus causing unpleasant symptoms. The symptoms include heartburn, an unpleasant taste of acid in the mouth, and regurgitation. GERD can also cause serious symptoms such as hoarseness, asthma-like symptoms, or ear, nose and throat problems.
For people who suffer from heartburn, ignoring the symptoms can lead to damage to the esophageal lining or ulcers, so it is important to talk to your healthcare provider.
There are ways to save on certain brand name medications, such as using the NEXIUM® (esomeprazole magnesium) Savings Card, which helps eligible patients save on their co-pay for prescription NEXIUM. With the NEXIUM Savings Card, available at www.PurplePill.com, eligible commercially insured patients can get a 30-day supply of prescription NEXIUM® (esomeprazole magnesium) delayed-release capsules for $[15], or a 90-day supply for as low as $[10], a month.
Patients and caregivers should consult with their doctors to learn about prescription treatment options that are available. For more information about a treatment option, visit www.TroubleSwallowingPills.com.
If you are experiencing frequent acid reflux symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider about what treatment option is best for you. If your doctor prescribes brand name NEXIUM® (esomeprazole magnesium) delayed-release capsules or oral suspension and you would like to receive the brand name, you can request it at the pharmacy or ask your doctor to write 'brand medically necessary,' 'may not substitute,' or 'dispense as written' on the prescription. Call ahead to your pharmacy if you want to confirm that they have filled your prescription with brand name NEXIUM.
Approved Uses for NEXIUM® (esomeprazole magnesium)
NEXIUM is prescribed to treat the symptoms of acid reflux disease, which typically include persistent heartburn on 2 or more days per week, despite treatment and change of diet in children 1 year of age and older or adults.
For adults and children as young as 1 month of age, NEXIUM is also prescribed to heal damage to the esophagus called erosive esophagitis. This damage may be caused over time from stomach acid wearing away the lining of the esophagus. Only a doctor can diagnose this condition. With NEXIUM, most erosions heal in 4 to 8 weeks. Results with NEXIUM may vary.
Important Safety Information About NEXIUM® (esomeprazole magnesium)

Ghouls, Gourds & Books
Halloween comes early this Sunday for kids and adults alike at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Time to show off those costumes, carouse with colossal puppets, create recycled junk instruments, carve pumpkins and, of course, chat with celebrated children's book authors and illustrators! I will be there signing books and would love to see familiar friendly - and scary - faces. This is a picture of my son, Isaiah as a Taxi Driver and his friend, Levi the lion from a few years ago. It was around when My Taxi Ride came out, so I made his stroller into a taxi cab. Fortunately, he was young enough, and not yet highly opinionated, to impose my artistic vision onto!

Hey S -
Wish I could have been at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden yesterday. How did the book signing go? Love the pic of Isaiah as a taxi driver.

ok, ridiculously inane topic, but here goes:
i stop at the company cafeteria a few times each week to grab a breakfast sandwich. there are 2 women who work the grill/prepare food. one of them consistently puts my sandwich together with the slices of bread oriented in different directions. i cannot eat it.
before i can eat that sandwich, i have to realign the bread. i don't even understand how she can make it that way; it's an affront to me that it's not symmetrical, and disturbing to me that it doesn't seem to bother her at all. it's like walking around with one shoe tied tighter than the other; no balance. yes, i'm well aware that i'm overly fastidious.
don't get me wrong, i understand this is a very little thing, and matters only to me. it's a very simple thing for me to rotate one piece of toast. i would never give her any grief over it, and i tip her the same as i do the one who makes 'em right.
any other fans of the symmetrical sandwich out there?

This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. � 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/366,912, filed Mar. 22, 2002, which is incorporated herein by reference.
This application relates to alignment apparatuses for use in testing, drilling, and trimming of printed circuit boards and integrated circuit substrates and, in particular, to an improved alignment apparatus that isolates a rotational positioning mechanism (θ stage) of the apparatus from the effects of a translating workpiece positioning mechanism (X-Y stage), and vice versa.
The manufacture of electronic circuits such as printed circuit boards and integrated circuits typically involves inspection and testing of each circuit in an array of circuit patterns formed on a substrate. Calibration of circuits may include probing and measurement of electrical characteristics of circuit components during a laser trimming operation that adjusts the electrical characteristics of the circuit. For correct test results, the tips of test probes of a probe card must be accurately aligned with contact locations or electrode pads of the circuit. Probe alignment systems use mechanical positioning equipment that adjusts the position of the substrate, the probe card, or both, to maintain accurate alignment across the array of circuit patterns.
Because multiple copies of a circuit are typically formed on a single substrate in a regular array pattern, many known systems are controlled with an automated step-and-repeat positioning program that repetitively indexes the substrate in the X-Y plane between successive probing operations. In each probing operation, tips of the test probes are pressed against electrode pads of the circuit before performing electrical testing and/or trimming of the circuit. After testing and/or trimming, the test probes are then lifted away from the substrate before moving (stepping) the substrate to align the probes with the next circuit or the next test position on the same circuit.
Conventional alignment equipment allows the substrate to be accurately aligned with the X and Y axes by interposing a θ stage between the X-Y stage and the substrate, as shown in FIG. 1. This configuration of the θ and X-Y stages simplifies subsequent indexing of the substrate, requiring only a simple X or Y translation motion for each step, as described in the Background of the Invention section of U.S. Pat. No. 4,266,191 of Spano et al. In two other equipment designs, described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,677,474 of Sato et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,786,867 of Yamatsu, a second rotational positioning stage is provided for aligning the probe card with the X and Y axes of the X-Y stage, thereby enabling probe/substrate alignment to be more accurately maintained across the entire array of circuit patterns of the substrate. However, because these prior art mechanisms all include a θ stage tied to the X-Y stage, every adjustment of the θ stage requires a subsequent alignment compensation of the X-Y stage, as explained by Spano et al. at column 4, lines 16-24 of the '191 patent.
Furthermore, in systems having a θ stage supported on the X-Y stage, the mass of the θ stage adds to the inertia of the entire workpiece positioning stage. The added inertia slows movement in the X and Y directions and raises the center of mass of the workpiece positioning stage, thereby affecting positioning speed and accuracy.
The θ stage can also be a source of positioning error due to vibration and backlash that are induced in the θ stage mechanism each time the X-Y stage is actuated. Overall, the coupling of the θ stage with the workpiece positioning stage in conventional test probe alignment systems tends to reduce system throughput. Attempts to increase X-Y stage speed by minimizing the mass of the θ stage and reducing the height and/or mass of the chuck tend to increase backlash, decrease stiffness, sacrifice vibration resistance, and increase settling time of the workpiece positioning stage. Attempts to increase the resolution and accuracy of the θ stage also tend to increase the mass and height of the workpiece positioning stage. Consequently, designers of prior art systems have been forced to compromise system throughput to improve positioning accuracy, and vice versa.
The present inventor has recognized a need for an improved test probe alignment apparatus that will facilitate increased test throughput and improved probe alignment accuracy.
An alignment apparatus is adapted for aligning a set of test probes or other tools with a set of contact areas on a substrate, such as a printed circuit board panel or finished silicon wafer. The substrate is supported on a chuck of a workpiece positioning stage for linear movement in an X-Y plane. The alignment apparatus also facilitates engagement of the test probes with the contact areas on the substrate after alignment, by driving the test probes in a Z direction. The alignment apparatus includes a rotatable stage that is decoupled from the workpiece positioning stage so that the chuck can move in the X-Y plane without moving the rotatable stage, thereby inhibiting vibration in and inertia of the workpiece positioning stage, and improving the speed and accuracy of chuck movements.
The rotatable stage is driven for rotation about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the plane of movement of the chuck. The rotatable stage preferably supports a carriage adapted for mounting a set of probes. The carriage rotates in concert with the rotatable stage when the rotatable stage is rotated, to thereby align the set of probes with the contact areas on the substrate. After alignment of the probes, the probing stage is driven for linear translation of the carriage relative to the rotatable stage along the axis of rotation of the rotatable stage to thereby engage the probes with the contact areas on the substrate.
Because the rotatable stage is decoupled from the workpiece positioning stage, it is less constrained by space and mass limitations than prior art systems. Thus, it can include larger, more massive mechanisms that are more accurate than the θ stages used with workpiece positioning stages of prior-art test systems.
Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the figures, like reference numerals refer to same or similar parts or features.
Throughout the specification, reference to "one embodiment," or "an embodiment," or "some embodiments" means that a particular described feature, structure, or characteristic is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" or "in some embodiments" in various places throughout the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment or embodiments.
Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or not described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the embodiments.
Upper surface 118 of chuck 116 is sized to fit a substrate 134 on which one or more circuits are formed. Preferred embodiments are used in connection with testing and/or trimming of circuits on substrates such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), including PCB panels carrying an array of printed circuit boards (not shown). For PCBs and PCB panels, chuck 116 could be sized up to 26 inches wide and 30 inches long, for example, and weigh up to 17 pounds (mass 7.7 kg). Embodiments are also contemplated to be scaled down for use in testing smaller substrates, such as miniaturized integrated circuits and wafers having an array of integrated circuit dice formed thereon, in which case chuck 116 and X-Y stage 114 would be sized much smaller than for PCB testing.
A probe stage 140 includes a stationary base plate 144, which may be securely mounted to frame 132 of test probing system 100 or to another rigid stationary support. A θ stage 148 is mounted on base plate 144 and includes a pedestal 150 that driven by a θ drive mechanism 154 of θ stage 148 for rotation about an axis of rotation 156 perpendicular to the X-Y plane in which chuck 116 moves. A translating Z stage 160 is supported by pedestal 150 and moves with pedestal 150 in response to actuation of θ drive mechanism 154. A carriage 164 is hung from Z stage 160 below pedestal 150 and adapted for mounting a probe card 166 having a set of test probes 167. Probe card 166 is mounted such that probes 167 face chuck 116. Carriage 164 rotates in concert with Z stage 160 when θ stage 148 is rotated, to thereby align the set of probes 167 with contact areas (not shown) on substrate 134. Z stage 160 preferably extends beyond an upper face 168 of pedestal 150 where Z stage 160 is coupled to a Z-drive mechanism 172 that drives Z stage 160 and carriage 164 for linear translation along Z-axis relative to θ stage 148. Driving of Z stage 160 and carriage 164 along the Z-axis causes the tips of test probes 167 to press against the contact areas of substrate 134 for purposes of electrical testing, laser trimming, or any other process involving probing.
In an alternative embodiment (not shown) Z stage 160 and/or Z-drive mechanism 172 may be arranged so that Z stage 160 or Z-drive mechanism 172 or both do not rotate together with θ stage 148 and carriage 164. Decoupling of Z stage 160 or Z-drive mechanism from θ stage 148 would require a special rotating- or slide bearing- type coupling to allow carriage 164 to rotate independently of the Z stage while allowing the Z stage to accurately move carriage 164 along the Z axis.
Alignment of the set of probes 167 with the contact pads of substrate 134 is accomplished in the preferred embodiment using a position sensor 180, such as a digital video camera 182, coupled to a machine vision system (not shown) and a motion controller 186. Motion controller 186 includes control software stored in a computer-readable data storage medium, such as computer memory (not shown) of motion controller 186 or a remote data storage device that can be accessed by motion controller 186. A computer-readable data storage medium accessible by motion controller 186 is also adapted to store movement vector data representing preprogrammed movements of X-Y stage 114, θ stage 148, and/or Z stage 160. A step-and-repeat indexing plan is stored in the data storage medium for positioning substrate 134 to test multiple sets of circuits or dice on substrate 134. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, motion controller 186 uses position information sensed by sensor 180 to adjust the alignment of θ stage 148 and X-Y stage 114 before or during execution of the preprogrammed movements.
Referring now to
A θ drive mechanism 230 includes a θ drive servo 232 that actuates a linear slide 234 of a taut-band mechanism 236, which is connected to pedestal 218. Taut-band mechanism 236 provides highly reliable and precise control for rotation of θ stage 210, while eliminating backlash. Actuation of linear slide 234 causes θ stage 210 to rotate up to 7.0 degrees of total travel and with a resolution of 0.0002 degrees, for example. Taut-band mechanism 236, which is described below with reference to
Test probe alignment apparatus also includes a Z stage 250, comprising a Z-stepper motor 254 coupled to Z-pulleys 258 of each of four Z-screws 260 a, 260 b, 260 c, and 260 d, via a set of timing belts (omitted for clarity). Non-rotating lead screws 264 of Z-screws 260 a-d are threaded into and extend downwardly from Z-pulleys 258 through pedestal 218 so that they telescope in the Z direction in response to actuation of Z-stepper motor 254. A carriage 270 is rigidly attached to the ends of lead screws 264 for movement therewith. A probe card holder 274 is attached to carriage 270 and includes a pair of opposing card slot rails 278 a and 278 b that together are adapted to receive and securely hold a probe card (not shown). Skilled persons will appreciate that other types of drive mechanisms (not shown) could be used in place of Z-stepper motor 254, Z-pulleys 258, and Z-screws 260 a-d for translation of carriage 270 in the Z direction.
Other configurations of θ stage 210 and Z stage 250 are also contemplated to be within the scope of the present application. For example, in an alternative embodiment (not shown) a Z-stage could directly connect to pedestal 218 and a lightweight θ stage could be mounted to a working end of the Z-stage.

The following is a description of the components of third embodiment test probe alignment apparatus 300 that differ from those of second embodiment apparatus 200 or which do not appear in
To streamline testing of an array of circuits arranged in a predetermined array pattern on the substrate, such as a rectangular or linear array pattern, for example, the test probe alignment apparatus may include a memory adapted to store an indexing plan corresponding to the circuit array pattern. The indexing plan includes a set of movement vectors defining spatial offsets between pairs of circuits in the array pattern and may be preprogrammed in memory for a known array pattern or "taught" or otherwise input to the system when needed. A position sensor, such as a machine vision system and camera 182 (FIG. 2), is provided for measuring angular misalignment of the array pattern relative to orthogonal axes of the chuck within the plane of movement of the chuck. Fiducial marks on the substrate, which are typically formed in the same lithography process as the array pattern, facilitate accurate optical measurement by the position sensor. The position sensor may also measure the translational misalignment of the array pattern relative to the orthogonal axes. To compensate for the angular misalignment, motion controller 186, in communication with the memory and the sensor, performs a coordinate transformation on the movement vectors based on the angular misalignment measured by the system.
As described in the Background of the Invention section, above, in prior art systems having a θ stage tied to the X-Y stage, every adjustment of the θ stage requires a subsequent alignment compensation of the X-Y stage. Probe alignment apparatuses in accordance with the various embodiments described herein eliminate the need to twice perform the steps of measuring the misalignment and adjusting the position of the substrate (once for angular position adjustment and once for adjusting in the translational position). Thus, the invention obviates the two stage alignment process of the prior art by using the angular and/or positional offset of the substrate measured by the sensor to compensate in software (with coordinate transformations) for misalignment between the array pattern and the axes of movement of the chuck. In addition, elimination of the θ stage from the workpiece positioning stage in accordance with the preferred embodiments reduces the mass of the workpiece positioning stage, decreases vibration, and lowers its center of mass, thereby allowing increased speed, increased acceleration, decreased settling time, and improved positioning accuracy, for achieving improved throughput and yield.
It will be obvious to those having skill in the art that many changes may be made to the details of the above-described embodiments without departing from the underlying principles of the invention. For example, in some circuit manufacturing processes, an alignment apparatus may be used in connection with mechanical and laser via drilling operations. These alignment apparatuses operate similarly to test probe alignment systems and are subject to similar problems. Consequently, the present invention is equally useful for use with tools such as via drilling equipment. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should appreciate that the orientation of X, Y, Z, and θ are shown in a preferred configuration and that the invention could be implemented in many other configurations, such as with the chuck moving in a vertical plane and the probes moving along a horizontal axis toward the chuck, for example. The scope of the present invention should, therefore, be determined only by the following claims.

59 - The Cigar Story
|Written by Patrick Morley
|Wednesday, December 10 2008 10:11
Have you ever savored the flavor of a hand made premium cigar? There's nothing quite like it.
For twenty five years I have occasionally enjoyed a good cigar, but never more than when travelling abroad where I can get my hands on authentic Cuban stogies.
As I'm sure you know, America has held an embargo against Cuba since 1962 when President Kennedy made it law. (As an aside, the night before signing the embargo the president sent Pierre Salinger on a mission to purchase 1,000 of his favorite Cuban cigars by H. Uppman. Salinger found 1,200, so Kennedy was set for a long embargo when he signed the papers the next day.)
To this day bringing any products manufactured in Cuba into the United States is strictly against the law, as is consuming them. Cigar lovers, though, have maintained an underground that keeps these peerless Cuban stogies showing up from time to time.
Recently, our family completed a trip to the Holy Land I've been dreaming about for over twenty years. It was a wonderful trip, and just before returning I decided to top it all off by purchasing four premium Cuban cigars. I put them in my backpack without mentioning them to my wife or two children.
Thus began a great spiritual battle. No sooner had I buckled my seat belt, than the Lord started dealing with me. A great moral test followed.
During the twenty seven hour trip home I scoured my Bible looking for some loophole that would allow me to keep the cigars. The Holy Spirit kept convicting me of my "little" sin. The more I tried to wiggle free, the tighter the noose around my conscience became.
I would open my Bible to where I had placed my bookmark, read a few pages, put the bookmark back, then rest for a moment with my eyes shut. A few minutes later I would open to the bookmark, read a few more pages, then put it back and rest some more. This went on for several hours.
After hours of reading the Bible looking for an answer that would make me less culpable, I finally broke and asked the Lord, "What would you have me do?"
Just then I remembered that my two children had given me the wine-colored, red leather bookmark as a gift a dozen years earlier. It had been in and out of my hand a dozen times already during the flight. I glanced down and read its message, "It is a wonderful heritage to have an honest father" Proverbs 20:7.
That is about as clearly as God had ever spoken to me. I confessed my sin but, of course, my mind rationalized, "You already have the cigars in your backpack." It wasn't difficult to go from there to the thought, "Okay, I'm going to declare the price of these cigars, but I'll put it in with the leather cigar case I bought as a souvenir of the trip. Then, if they ask me any question whatsoever, not only will I tell the truth, I'll volunteer information. I'll offer them these four contraband cigars for confiscation. In fact, I'm going to put them in the very top of my backpack where they will be most conspicuous." These things I did, but I still felt queasy.
We deplaned and started working our way through the customs maze. No one said a word. My guilt was so strong, I almost begged one of the customs workers to ask me a question. Finally, we had one last stop - the one where they randomly ask some people to open their luggage.
I led our family toward the final exit. About ten steps from the agent my wife looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Are you bringing any Cuban cigars into the country?"
My knees wobbled and my legs buckled. I couldn't believe she did that! Ten steps from the agent!
We finished the gauntlet and gave the female agent our passports and customs form. She smiled sincerely, gave a quick glance, then waved us through. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to confess! I wanted to turn over these cigars to someone! But, no. She waved us through.
So I kept going, the cigars practically screaming to be noticed.
The next morning, now riddled with guilt like Swiss cheese, I went upstairs and called my two children together. "I've done something wrong," I began, then proceeded to confess everything. I even shared the jolt I got when I saw the verse on the bookmark they gave me.
"Will you forgive me?" I asked. They both said of course they would, and it wasn't that bad, so don't worry about it.
"Well, what should I do with the cigars?" I asked.
"Dad, you shouldn't have brought them into the country in the first place, but now that they're here don't worry about it," they told me.
Guilt somewhat assuaged, I thanked them. But I was still troubled.
During the entire trip a scripture I memorized twenty-five years ago kept coming to mind, though hazily. The next morning, after a thankful night of good rest in my own bed, I rose early and turned to the passage,
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?" (Luke 16:10-11).
I was starting to get the message! After my wife and kids stirred to life I called a family meeting, read the passage, and told them I had decided that I needed to destroy the cigars.
Let me be quick to point out that I'm not trying to tell anyone else what they should do. I'm only speaking for myself. To be completely honest, I have smuggled a few Cuban cigars into the country on three, maybe four, previous occasions. This particular day, though, God spoke to me in a crystal clear voice through his Word and Spirit. For me, destroying those delicious but contraband stogies was a test I could not afford to fail.
However, I have enough larceny left in my heart that I wanted to get some value in return.
So, I milked the story for all it was worth at the Bible Study I teach on Friday mornings, then cut the cigars up in front of the group. It got a good laugh, so not all was lost!
The lesson for me was simple: Scrupulous obedience.
I don't know about you, but I have so many "big" things I'm dreaming about and working toward, I can't afford to have any "little" thing disqualify me.
How about you? Are you holding back somewhere? Withhold no good thing from God, and He will withhold no good thing from you. The evidence of unwavering faith is scrupulous obedience.
1. What is one area of your life where the Lord may be calling you to scrupulous obedience?
Spend a few moments in prayer to the Lord asking Him to help you see yourself as you really are. Ask Him to reveal hidden areas of sin and to make you willing to forsake everything out of love and faith in Him.
Lord, help me to withhold nothing from you, so that I will not disqualify myself. Amen.
