No. 6,638,842 entitled "Methods of Fabricating Integrated Circuitry", naming H.

No. 09/608,333, filed Jun. 29, 2000, entitled "Method of Fabricating Integrated Circuitry", naming H. Montgomery Manning as inventor, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,391,726 B1, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference; which patent resulted from a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/266,456, filed Mar. 11, 1999, entitled "Integrated Circuitry, Methods of Fabricating Integrated Circuitry, Methods of Forming Local Interconnects, and Methods of Forming Conductive Lines", naming H. Montgomery Manning as inventor, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,180,494, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to integrated circuitry, to methods of fabricating integrated circuitry, to methods of forming local interconnects, and to methods of forming conductive lines.
The reduction in memory cell and other circuit size implemented in high density dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) and other circuitry is a continuing goal in semiconductor fabrication. Implementing electric circuits involves connecting isolated devices through specific electric paths. When fabricating silicon and other semiconductive materials into integrated circuits, conductive devices built into semiconductive substrates need to be isolated from one another. Such isolation typically occurs in the form of either trench and refill field isolation regions or LOCOS grown field oxide.
Conductive lines, for example transistor gate lines, are formed over bulk semiconductor substrates. Some lines run globally over large areas of the semiconductor substrate. Others are much shorter and associated with very small portions of the integrated circuitry. This invention was principally motivated in making processing and structure improvements involving local interconnects, although the invention is not so limited.
The invention includes integrated circuitry, methods of fabricating integrated circuitry, methods of forming local interconnects, and methods of forming conductive lines. In one implementation, a method of fabricating integrated circuitry comprises forming a conductive line having opposing sidewalls over a semiconductor substrate. An insulating layer is deposited over the substrate and the line. The insulating layer is etched proximate the line along at least a portion of at least one sidewall of the line. After the etching, an insulating spacer forming layer is deposited over the substrate and the line, and it is anisotropically etched to form an insulating sidewall spacer along said portion of the at least one sidewall.
In one implementation, a method of forming a local interconnect comprises forming at least two transistor gates over a semiconductor substrate. A local interconnect layer is deposited to overlie at least one of the transistor gates and interconnect at least one source/drain region of one of the gates with semiconductor substrate material proximate another of the transistor gates. In one aspect, a conductivity enhancing impurity is implanted into the local interconnect layer in at least two implanting steps, with one of the two implantings providing a peak implant location which is deeper into the layer than the other. Conductivity enhancing impurity is diffused from the local interconnect layer into semiconductor substrate material therebeneath. In one aspect, a conductivity enhancing impurity is implanted through the local interconnect layer into semiconductor substrate material therebeneath.
In one implementation, field isolation material regions and active area regions are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A trench is etched into the field isolation material into a desired line configuration. A conductive material is deposited to at least partially fill the trench and form a conductive line therein.
In one implementation, integrated circuitry comprises a semiconductor substrate comprising field isolation material regions and active area regions. A conductive line is received within a trench formed within the field isolation material.
Other implementations are disclosed, contemplated and claimed in accordance with the invention.

This disclosure of the invention is submitted in furtherance of the constitutional purposes of the U.S. Patent Laws "to promote the progress of science and useful arts" (Article 1, Section 8).
Referring to FIG. 1, a semiconductor wafer in process is indicated generally with reference numeral 10. Such comprises a bulk monocrystalline silicon substrate 12. In the context of this document, the term "semiconductor substrate" is defined to mean any construction comprising semiconductive material, including, but not limited to, bulk semiconductive materials such as a semiconductive wafer (either alone or in assemblies comprising other materials thereon), and semiconductive material layers (either alone or in assemblies comprising other materials). The term "substrate" refers to any supporting structure, including, but not limited to, the semiconductor substrates described above.
A gate dielectric layer 14, such as silicon dioxide, is formed over semiconductor substrate 12. A conductively doped semiconductive layer 16 is formed over gate dielectric layer 14. Conductively doped polysilicon is one example. An insulative capping layer 18 is formed over semiconductive layer 16. An example material is again silicon dioxide. Intervening conductive layers, such as refractory metal silicides, might of course also be interposed between layers 16 and 18. An etch stop layer 20 is formed over insulative capping layer 18. An example preferred material is polysilicon.
Referring to FIG. 2, the above-described layers over substrate 12 are patterned and etched into a plurality of exemplary transistor gate lines 22, 24 and 26. Lines 22, 24 and 26 have respective opposing sidewalls 27 and 28, 29 and 30, and 31 and 32. Lines 22, 24 and 26 are shown in the form of field effect transistor gates, although other conductive lines are contemplated. LDD implant doping is preferably conducted to provide illustrated implant regions 33 for the transistors. One example implant dose for regions 33 would be 2×1013 ions/cm2. Alternately, the LDD implant doping can implanted after source/drain regions have been formed (or a combination of both). Forming LDD regions later in the process reduces the Dt seen by such implants.
Referring to FIG. 3, an insulating layer 34 is deposited over substrate 12 and lines 22, 24 and 26. The thickness of layer 34 is preferably chosen to be greater than that of the combined etch stop layer, capping layer and semiconductor layer, and to be received between the transistor gate lines to fill the illustrated cross-sectional area extending between adjacent gate lines. Example and preferred materials include undoped silicon dioxide deposited by decomposition of tetraethylorthosilicate, and borophosphosilicate glass.
Referring to FIG. 4, insulative material layer 34 has been planarized. Such is preferably accomplished by chemical-mechanical polishing using etch stop layer 20 of gates 22, 24 and 26 as an etch stop for such polishing.
Referring to FIG. 5, a layer of photoresist 36 has been deposited and patterned. Insulative material 34 is etched to effectively form contact openings 38, 39 and 40 therein to proximate substrate 12, and preferably effective to outwardly expose material of semiconductor substrate 12. For purposes of the continuing discussion, the exposed portions of semiconductor substrate 12 are designated as locations 42, 43 and 44. The depicted etching constitutes but one example of etching insulating layer 34 proximate lines 22 and 24 along at least a portion of facing sidewalls 28 and 29. Such portion preferably comprises a majority of the depicted sidewalls, and as shown constitutes the entirety of said sidewalls to semiconductor substrate 12.
With respect to line 26, the illustrated insulating layer 34 etching is conducted along at least a portion of each of opposing line sidewalls 31 and 32. Further with respect to lines 22 and 24, such etching of insulating layer 34 is conducted along portions of sidewalls 28 and 29, and not along the respective opposing sidewalls 27 and 30. Further, such insulating layer 34 etching exposes conductive material of at least one of the transistor gates, with such etching in the illustrated example exposing conductive material 16 of sidewalls 28, 29, 31 and 32 of the illustrated transistor gates. Further with respect to gate lines 22 and 24, the insulative material is etched to remain/be received over the one sidewalls 27 and 30, and not sidewalls 28 and 29.
After etching of layer 34, at least one of the exposed sidewalls is covered with insulating material. Such preferably comprises deposition of an insulating layer 46 over substrate 12; lines 22, 24 and 26; and planarized and etched insulative material 34 to a thickness which less than completely fills at least some of the contact openings (FIG. 6). Such layer preferably comprises a spacer forming layer, with silicon dioxide and silicon nitride being but two examples.
Referring to FIG. 7, spacer forming layer 46 is anisotropically etched to form insulative sidewall spacers 47, 48, 49, 50 and 52. Such constitutes but one example of forming the illustrated insulative sidewall spacers. In one implementation, insulating layer 34 is received between at least one of the sidewalls and one of the sidewall spacers, for example as shown with respect to line 24 between sidewall 30 and spacer 49. Further with respect to this example line 24, insulative material 34 is received between the one sidewall 30 and the one insulative spacer 49 formed thereover , and is not received between the opposing sidewall 29 and the other spacer 48 formed thereover. Yet, in the depicted section, insulative sidewall spacers 48 and 49, and 50 and 52 are formed over each of the respective opposing line sidewalls of lines 24 and 26, wherein in the depicted section only one insulative spacer 47 is formed over one sidewall of line 22. Further, insulative material 34 received between sidewall 30 and insulative spacer 49 of line 24 has a maximum lateral thickness which is greater than or equal (greater as shown) to a maximum lateral thickness of sidewall spacer 49. Source/drain implanting may occur at this point in the process, if desired.
Referring to FIG. 8, a local interconnect layer 56 is deposited to overlie at least one of the transistor gates, and ultimately interconnect locations 42, 43 and 44 of substrate 12, and is thus provided in electrical connection therewith. An example preferred material for layer 56 is polysilicon. Due to the spacing constraints between the insulative spacers of lines 22 and 24 versus that of lines 24 and 26, layer 56 completely fills contact opening area 38 and less than completely fills contact opening areas 39 and 40.
Depending on the circuitry being fabricated and the desires of the processor, layer 56 might be in situ conductively doped as deposited and/or separately implanted with conductivity enhancing impurity subsequent to deposition. Further, any such subsequent implantings might be masked to only be provided within portions of layer 56 where, for example, both n-type and p-type substrate regions are being conductively connected by an ultimately conductive interconnect formed from layer 56. Most preferably, interconnect layer 56 will ultimately comprise suitably conductively doped semiconductive material. Where such will comprise both n-type and p-type doping material, another conductive strapping layer, such as a refractory metal silicide, will ideally be formed atop layer 56 to avoid or overcome an inherent parasitic diode that forms where p-type and n-type materials join. Further with respect to combined n-type and p-type processing, multiple local interconnect layers might be provided and patterned, and perhaps utilize intervening insulative layers, spacers or etch stops. Further prior to deposition of layer 56, a conductive dopant diffusion barrier layer might also be provided.
Example preferred implantings, whether p-type, n-type, or a combination of the same, is next described still with reference to FIG. 8. Such depicts two preferred implantings represented by peak implant locations or depths 58 and 60. Such are preferably accomplished by two discrete implantings which provide peak implant location 60 deeper relative to layer 56 than implant 58. For example within layer 56 in contact openings 38 and 39, regions of layer 56 are shown where peak implant 60 is deeper within layer 56 than is peak implant 58. Yet, the peak implant location or depth for implant 60 is preferably not chosen to be so deep to be within conductively doped material 16 of lines 22, 24 and 26. Further in contact opening locations 39 and 40, the implanting to produce depicted implant 60 is conducted through local interconnect layer 56 and into semiconductor substrate material 12 therebeneath. Diffusing of the conductivity enhancing impurity provided within layer 56 might ultimately occur from local interconnect layer 56 into semiconductor substrate material 12 therebeneath within locations 42, 43 and 44 to provide the majority of the conductivity enhancing impurity doping for the source/drain regions of the illustrated transistor lines. Depending on the processor's desire and the degree of diffusion, such source/drain regions might principally reside within semiconductor substrate material 12, or reside as elevated source/drain regions within layer 56.
Further and as shown, layer 56 in certain locations acts as a spacer for the deeper implant. Further, such may actually reduce junction capacitance by counter doping halo implants that are further away from gate polysilicon. This can provide flexibility in the settings of the halo implants.
Referring to FIG. 9, local interconnect layer 56 is formed (i.e., by photopatterning and etching) into a local interconnect line 57 which overlies at least portions of illustrated conductive lines 22, 24 and 26, and electrically interconnects substrate material locations 42, 43 and 44.
Further considered aspects of the invention are next described with reference to FIGS. 10-16. FIG. 10 illustrates a semiconductor wafer fragment 10 a comprising a bulk monocrystalline silicon substrate 12. Semiconductor substrate 12 has been patterned to form field isolation region 64 and active area region 62. In the illustrated example, material 66 of field isolation region 64 comprises silicon dioxide fabricated by LOCOS processing. Such might constitute other material and other isolation techniques, for example trench and refill resulting from etching trenches into substrate 12 and depositing oxide such as by CVD, including PECVD.
Fragment 10 a in a preferred and exemplary embodiment comprises an extension of fragment 10 of the first described embodiment, such as an extension in FIG. 10 starting from the far right portion of FIG. 4 of the first described embodiment. Accordingly, insulating layer 34 is shown as having been deposited and planarized,
Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, a trench 68 is etched into field isolation material 66 and is received within insulating layer 34. Such includes opposing insulative sidewalls 77 and a base 79. Trench 68 in this illustrated example extends to an edge 70 of isolation material 66 proximate, and here extending to, active area substrate material 12 of region 62. An example preferred depth for trench opening 68 is 10% to 20% greater than the combined thickness of the conductive and insulating materials of gate stacks 22, 24 and 26.
Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, a conductive material 72 is deposited to at least partially fill trench 68, and electrically connects with substrate material 12 of active area region 62. As shown, material 72 is preferably deposited to overfill trench 68. The width of trench 68 is preferably chosen to be more narrow than double the thickness of layer of material 72. Such preferred narrow nature of trench 68 facilitates complete filling thereof with conductive material 72 in spite of its depth potentially being greater than the globally deposited thickness of layer 72.
Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, conductive layer 72 has been etched to produce the illustrated local interconnect line 75 which includes a line segment 76 received within trench 68 over isolation material 66. A small degree of overetch preferably occurs as shown to assure complete removal material 72 from over the outer surface of insulating layer 34. Ideally, the shape of trench 68 is chosen and utilized to define the entire outline and shape of the conductive line being formed relative to isolation material 66. Further, conductive material of line 75 preferably contacts material 66 of trench sidewalls 77 and base 79.
FIG. 17 illustrates an exemplary alternate wafer fragment 10 b embodiment corresponding to FIG. 16, but using a trench isolation oxide 66 b as opposed to LOCOS oxide 66. An exemplary preferred trench filled line 68 b is shown.
In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific as to structural and methodical features. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific features shown and described, since the means herein disclosed comprise preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims appropriately interpreted in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents.

Well this is belated, but there were a number of moves made in the CAPS port in November worthy of having the reasons recorded.
Ended: Pfizer (PFE), Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE), Seattle Genetics (SGEN), and Invitrogen (IVGN).
Only Invitrogen was ended with a negative score and ended due to a delist by CAPS. IVGN actually became Life Technologies (LIFE) following Invitrogen's merger with Applied Biosystems and really shouldn't have delisted. I may restart LIFE but we'll see (I talked to tech support on this, but moving it back to active was impractical, and not that important to me). The combined company should be stronger, but the history of Invitrogen is one of difficulty with seamlessly incorporating acquisitions and this is their largest one yet. Still, perhaps they have learned and are worth an investment, at least in CAPS. One worry is that these firms benefit a lot from the research sector i.e. government funding of NIH and such, and while the will should be there in the next administration the dollars may not be. I'll wait to reup.
ARE was an underperform pick (I don't have any active underperforms). I didn't like the low yield for a REIT focused on Biotechnology lab space and such. It did drop as expected, but I didn't count on the market being such a downer as well. I usually close underperforms rather quickly, but had to wait for this to drop > 50% to truly underperform the market and give me a score worth closing the pick. Now the yield on this selection isn't quite so shabby (especially with 0% treasuries out there) but biotech companies are struggling for CASH, so it is best to avoid this REIT still.
Seattle Genetics (SGEN) was ended just because I was content to get a +35 score out of it. Biotech drug developers aren't my preferred way to invest in biotech (picks and shovels rule), so no reason to be greedy (which is how most approach biotech investing sadly).
Pfizer was a round trip. Ended and reupped. It was down but still outperforming the market, which was down worse. I'm still not sure my CAPS strategy here. When a stock I believe in is down, but the market is down worse, I think it makes sense to close and reup the pick to lock accuracy and keep a stock I believe in at an even better price. But, the market may rebound and erase that advantage. Also this may not make sense with a generous dividend payer like PFE, where a basis pseudo-reinvestment of dividends can be a powerful basis adjustment, especially on a down stock. I think if I considered PFE was a buy and hold forever stock, I would not reup, but while I want to hold PFE now, and probably 5 years from now, I'm not sure that the couple of years post Lipitor going generic make sense. Still on the fence on that.
New or Reopened Picks: Pfizer (PFE), Celera (CRA), REITS in the health care realm (HCN, HCP, NHP, VTR), American Oriental Bioengineering (AOB), ICON PLC (ICLR).
Pfizer was discussed but the big move in the port was to make a bullish call on REITs in the health care sector. REITs have been punished this year and while the health care ones avoided the early year selloff they were not immune to October. Consequently this most secure of real estate sectors offered yields not seen in a few years. I grabbed what looked to be the four highest quality for the CAPS port Health Care REIT (HCN - which I own), HCP Inc (HCP), Nationwide Health Properties (NHP), and Ventas (VTR). Buying high yield stocks is a good plan for portfolio building but buying them near lows can really boost performance -- but calling bottoms isn't easy. This call has played out well so far and will likely be a long term holding for this CAPS port. We'll see where they are when interest rates start ticking up again.
Celera (CRA) was added on buyout potential. Applied Biosystems and Celera were tracking stocks of Applera Corp (I used to work there) and were untangled earlier this year. I expected CRA would be sold and was surprised it was ABI that went first (to Invitrogen as mentioned). I like what CRA is doing scientifically but they have had so much cash the past 8+ years that the company management hardly developed the discipline to become a profitable entity. That should change sometime but may well take a buyout to accomplish.
American Oriental Bioengineering (AOB). I had this one before but closed it when the company used debt to initiate a share buyback. I hate that. Still the prospects are good and the company got cheaper, so I reupped, but am still not convinced of management. This requires a close eye to own in reality, but the promise makes it very CAPS worthy.
Finally I went bullish on ICON PLC (ICLR). This Irish company offers contract research services directed at overseas clinical trial management. This is a growth market worth participating in. The stumble in the stock these past few months may be a great opportunity for a long term hold.
That was November. I should update for December soon, but haven't made a single CAPS port move in the past month. Last year I reviewed my real port in January. The real ports did not do too well this past year, but the process of review is useful, so I'll open myself up to public ridicule and do so again this year (I suppose I could just do the writeup and not post, but what the heck, this is a learning environment). Maybe I'll review my oldest CAPS port holdings as well.

Manufacturers could face a difficult 2012 due to a declining demand for smartphones and an increasing appetite for Sim-only contracts.
With the industry in its final week of pre-Christmas trading, industry figures are suggesting it will continue to be relatively well-protected from the recession but could experience a downturn in 2012. Strategy Analytics' analyst Neil Mawston said: 'It has been battling declining demand for some time. Everyone knew the Christmas period was going to be weak and it certainly has been weak for mobile.'
Ofcom figures suggest the recent smartphone boom could be short-lived. Ownership is at its highest level, with 46% of Britons owning a smart device. However, only 3% of customers without a smartphone said they intended to buy one over the next year. Forty percent said they were certain they would not buy a smartphone.
Anecdotal evidence from stores already suggests a slow down, with prepay sales down 50% in one region, according to sources.
CCS Insight MD Shaun Collins said he thought manufacturers could come under pressure in 2012. 'People will choose not to upgrade handsets and will get a better value for money Sim-only deal.' Such deals are proving increasingly popular. Ofcom said one in five new contracts in Q1 2011 were Sim-only deals.
Mawston said: 'Consumers are reluctant to spend and so they are delaying new purchases. At the same time, the smartphone boom is peaking and slowing down with more than half of postpaid customers upgraded to smartphones in the UK. The market is almost taking a pause as consumers wait for the next big thing – for the new 4G devices.'
One senior manufacturing source said he believed there would be a slowdown in the first half of 2011 because of the wider economic turmoil. He said: 'There are around eight vendors bringing great phones to the market at the moment but that's too many for the UK.'
He predicted that two or three frontrunners would eventually emerge, with the remaining manufacturers competing for Sim-only deals. The source said retail would be affected but suggested the likes of Phones 4u and Carphone Warehouse would bounce back from mid-2012 as they adapt their businesses.
He added: 'The revenue model will have to change and I think there will be more collaboration between retailers and networks or they will maybe look at different revenue streams to make it work.'

Turkey Urges Iran To Pressure Damascus, Shi'ite Militias To Stop Truce Violations
Turkey's foreign minister has called on Iran to exert pressure on the Syrian government and its allies to stop violating a cease-fire in Syria.
"Iran should reassert its authority over the Shi'ite militias and the regime in Syria," Mevlut Cavusoglu told Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency on January 4.
Iran, along with Russia, is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Turkey is a sponsor of the opposition.
Moscow and Ankara brokered last week a fragile cease-fire, slated to be followed by peace talks in the Kazakh capital, Astana.
Cavusoglu said the violations were threatening to derail the talks planned for later this month between the Syrian government and the opposition.
The Turkish minister also said Russian officials will visit Turkey on January 9-10 to discuss the framework for the talks.

Testimonial on Improve Time with Freddie Ciampi, owner of Social Graces Ballroom Dance Studio
"I had been in business for nine years. I was burning the candle on two sides and I was slowly seeing how it was destroying my life. It is very unfortunate to do something you love; you help other people, but are destroying your own life…
The first thing we started with, was getting my time under control. René helped me create systems that would make things that took 5 hours, would now take 1 hour. So instead of working 60 hours a week, I was now working 40 hours a week. And then I was able to take that time and put that to working ON the business. So instead of working IN the business, I was now working ON the business…. I am slowly moving away from running the day to day business…."

Half of the reviews by patients of Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust on the NHS Choices website came from staff accounts, a BBC investigation has shown. In response to the finding, changes have been made to make it clear who is posting feedback.
The BBC news programme Newsnight found that 105 of 216 reviews about the trust had come from staff accounts. Almost half of these (47%) did not declare a conflict of interest. The reviews were originally submitted to the independent feedback website Patient Opinion and then posted on NHS Choices. As a result of the investigation NHS Choices removed all but one …

"There are people who ignore Zambia's plight. And there are people who try to take advantage of the situation."
—Sharon Fabian, Drought in Zambia
Behold Lusaka! And me in situ
come to appraise the obvious: storage
in open air; production for waste:
hundreds of ninety-kilo bags of maize
bursting at the seams: Sun-scorched
on top, steaming wet from rains underneath,
kernels for fungi and rats. Who cares?
Decay validates the extra cash from loans
to buy less-sweeter maize from richer worlds.
Who sees, sees double, my import and theirs.
Don't count on resolve to solve iniquity.
Goodbye to what I know won't help …
The logic of rot inexorably rules
shady dream castles in concrete.

How to make Sugar Skulls - Step by Step
Raven Higheagle
☆☆☆☆☆ 0 votes0
- granulated sugar
- meringue powder
- water
- 2 lb
- confectioners' sugar
- different bright food coloring paste (can order online, found at crafts and cake supply stores)
- icing decorator bags (can be orded online, found at craft or cake supply stores)
- sugar skull molds (can be found online)
- feathers for decorating
- sugar flowers for decorating
- small colored rhinestones for decorating
- beads for decorating
- sequins for decorating
- different colored foil for decorating
How to Make How to make Sugar Skulls - Step by Step
- 1What you will need to make great sugar skulls:
Granulated Sugar (adjust amount depending on how many sugar skulls you will be making. Approximately 1 cup per 6 small sugar skulls, 4 medium or 1 large whole sugar skull.)
Large bowl
Sugar Skull molds (shape and size of your preference. (Some are faces only and some include two parts that you put together to make a whole skull.)
Meringue powder, 1 teaspoon for each cup of sugar. (Helps to hold the sugar together.)
Powdered sugar for the sugar skull decorative icing.
Paste food coloring to color the icing.
Icing decorator bags
A large, dry area for the sugar skulls to dry in. (Once for the sugar to dry in the mold, and once for the icing to dry.)
Any other decoration you like such as sugar flowers, beads, feathers, small rhinestones, sequins, and colored foil
- 2Prepare the Sugar:
For every cup of sugar, mix in 1 teaspoon of meringue powder and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of water on top.
Work the water into the sugar with your fingers until the mixture feels like cool beach sand. This takes a few minutes, so be patient. The sugar is ready when you can press your finger or thumb into it and the print will stay.
- 5Prepare the Icing:
In a large mixer, mix 2/3 cup water, 1/2 cup meringue powder and 2 pounds of powdered sugar until icing peaks or about 9 minutes.
Separate the icing into smaller portions (disposable cups and popsicle sticks work well for this) and use the paste food coloring to color the icing.
Place the icing in the icing decorator bags. Snip the end of each bag when you're ready to decorate. Start very small with the snip, you can make it bigger if necessary.
- 6Decorate the Skulls:
Use your icing to decorate the skulls. If you're adding foil, beads or feathers, use the icing as a glue to attach them. If you add non-edible items to the skull, do not attempt to eat it!
Note- If you have any larger 2-piece skulls, use the icing to "glue" the pieces together.
- 8Sugar Skull Tips:
Meringue powder cannot be omitted. Some people use egg white but with mixed results. Sometimes they do not want to dry.
Try to make sugar skulls on a very dry day. If it is too humid outside, they may not dry well. If this happens put them in a warm oven for 2 hours to see if that helps.
For the larger skulls, you may scoop out some of the front and back pieces to make the finished skull lighter. Let the skull dry for 2 hours, then scoop out a hole in each one leaving a 1/2 inch solid flat border around the edge to glue them together. The scooping's may be re-used to make more skulls.
Lightly spritz sugar with water if sugar gets to dry while working.

LOS ANGELES — Crackdown's finally back.
Microsoft announced a new entry in the Crackdown franchise for the Xbox One today during its Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing. It promises a single-player and cooperative campaign along with new multiplayer experiences.
The trailer shown at the media briefing displayed a colorful, neon-filled world similar to previous Crackdown games. Dave Jones, the creator of the original Crackdown, is back for this third installment, which seems to also just go by Crackdown.
Microsoft gave no release date, but it was shown during a part of its conference reserved for games coming out next year and beyond. The last Crackdown game came in 2010.

Now look... I am not really a 'moral police' of sorts. But I am a tad conservative and that may be dubbed as nothing but some kind of regressive attitude. I don't really like men wearing pink trousers.
Ah! I can see that you have begun to think that I am indeed a 'dress code sleuth' trying to impose my view on others only because I 'won't look good in pink trousers'. Not really, bro! I simply think that men need to leave certain things --- like the pink colour --- to wonderful women of the world and not appropriate each and everything that comes their way. The nearest a man can come to pink is when he gets the pink slip, or describes himself to be 'in the pink' of health or whatever.
But shouldn't men have colours in their life? I mean, it's not about being a 'colourful' personality, but literally dressed in multiple hues to be described as a 'metrosexual' animal on the prowl... Isn't that a 'cool' way? Sorry to break it, but for someone as old-fashioned as I am, bright-coloured trousers cannot be really a sign of being 'cool', but being crass. The kind of men I often see roaming around on the streets of New Delhi.
So the other day I had to deal with one such crass guy --- a man in his early twenties, and in pink trousers, who was making silly noises as I was trying to relieve myself at the wash room of a McDonald's outlet in Connaught Place.
"What uncle... why are you taking so much time?" the pink trouser asked me. I got pretty offended. No one asks such uncouth question to anyone, especially at critical moments like that one. But I chose not to reply and tried to do what I needed to do.
"Uncle..." he said again... "I can't control myself any more... what do I do?" he said. "Do I pee on you?" he said and nudged me.
"Go to hell..." I replied. "And then do what you want to do. You don't even know the basics... indecent fellow," I shot back now.
He got furious. He began hurling abuses at me in his own language. I now looked at the fellow. He looked like a man with lot of physical strength. A macho man, you can say.
Honestly, I was not surprised. I believe men in pink trousers have no sense of sobriety. No apologies for being blunt about that. And I don't think they will ever become a sober lot. And I don't expect 'macho' men to be sober either. But what did surprise me was the contradiction of a 'macho' man and the feminine pink trouser. What's the attraction of this colour even among men who are better at showing off their brawn than being polite as any good lady would be... Even at the face of abuses, I couldn't stop wondering about that.
"Why are you wearing pink trousers?" I had to ask the fellow.
He stopped shouting and looked at me with a question on his face.
He stopped shouting and looked at me with a question on his face.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Why are you wearing pink trousers?" I asked again.
For a while he didn't know how to react. And then he hurriedly left.
He didn't tell me. So I don't have a first-hand reason that supports pink trousers. Perhaps a brainstorming with fashion designers and psychologists would help. But then, why bother so much about pink trousers! I should rather stay away from any man who wears pink trousers or yellow trousers or green trousers or red trousers. That will be good enough for the time being. Till you can convince me that there is nothing wrong in such colourful choices.

The Final Battle
The scene was a dark and frightening alley. The stakes were high. Tonight was the night—the famous Harry Potter would be fighting a duel, to the death, with the immortal, the only, Lord Voldemort. That was if, by some trick, Harry Potter didn't manage to escape at the last minute—his dead mother, or his brilliant Muggle-born friend, Hermione Granger, might save him. The Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters would undoubtedly also be present, although they would likely get distracted at the crucial moment by squabbling among themselves.
And, indeed, by some happy chance, only three people remained in the alley within three minutes of the battle's commencement. These were the tragic orphaned Harry Potter, the incredibly evil Dark Lord, who was wearing black robes just to emphasize this, and Severus Snape, the double agent, and lieutenant to the Dark Lord (and to Albus Dumbledore, but who counts that). The Dark Lord, looking around at his companions, suddenly had a great idea! Given how rare this was, was it any wonder that he got a little overexcited?
Voldemort smiled evilly, and said, "I have it! Snape, you can kill Potter, even though I've been trying to for years (after all, it worked with Dumbledore), since you're his father!"
Harry Potter and Severus Snape stared at Voldemort. Then, as one, they cried, "What?!?!?"
Voldemort looked surprised that they didn't immediately recognize his evil genius.
"How—what makes you think—what?" asked Snape.
"There's no way!" cried Harry, rounding on Snape. "You can't be my father!"
"You're just like James Potter! If we were related I could never hold up my head again!" exclaimed Snape.
"You could never—what about me? You killed Dumbledore, you evil, twisted—!"
"Everyone thinks you're so great—the Chosen One—you're just as arrogant as your father, Potter!"
"Excuse me!" cried Voldemort, looking rather disconcerted and very pouty. "But, who's the Dark Lord here?!?"
Neither Snape nor Harry heard him. They were so busy yelling insults at one another that they had entirely forgotten that they were in a dark alley with the most powerfully evil wizard in the history of—well, ever. Even when Voldemort drew his wand, neither noticed. "Well, it's no fun killing you if you're not even paying attention!" he whined.
Suddenly, Luna Lovegood appeared around the corner, saw Voldemort, and walked toward him. Voldemort would have killed her, but was incredibly distracted by the orange, radish-like vegetables she was wearing as earrings.
His mouth open, his wand hanging uselessly by his side, Voldemort mutely held out a hand to receive the flower Luna held out to him. The moment he took it, he disappeared in a great cloud of dust, with a gigantic crashing sound.
Startled into looking around, Harry and Snape stared at Luna, and the place where the great—terrible, but great—Dark Lord had been.
"What—what happened to Voldemort?" Harry asked Luna, at last.
"He didn't notice the Nargles," said Luna, in her lovely, abstracted voice.
"So—is he dead?" asked Snape incredulously.
Luna shrugged. "Looks that way, doesn't it?" she said, indicating the dust.
At that moment, Harry looked at Luna, then Snape, and finally the big pile of dust. His lip trembled. Then he ran to the other side of the alley, crying loudly.
Before Snape or Luna could do anything, Ron and Hermione came hurrying into the alley, stared at Luna, Snape, and the big pile of dust, then, as one, rushed over to Harry. Luna and Snape followed, the latter rather reluctantly.
"Harry," said Hermione breathlessly, "What's the matter? Where's V-V-Voldemort?"
Ron, recovering from the ludicrous jump the use of the Dark Lord's name had occasioned, echoed, "Yeah, what's the matter, mate?"
"V-V-Voldemort said Sn-Sn-Snape was my f-f-father!" sobbed Harry.
"Well," said Luna consideringly, "There is a certain handsome resemblance."
Ron looked horrified. "There's no way, mate!"
Hermione was looking at Snape, who asserted, "There's absolutely, positively, without a doubt, no poss—" Suddenly, a strange look came into his face, as though a new and startling thought had just occurred to him. And we all know, given his customary stoicism, that this thought must've made a real impression, because Snape had actually allowed his amazement to show.
Now everyone was looking at Snape.
"I suppose it's possible," said Hermione, rather nervously. But Harry was looking at Snape with horror. He was remembering all those times where he falls into the Pensieve and reads other people's thoughts, invading their privacy. And there was that connection between Snape and his mother…He was thinking, this is exactly what happens to me! All my parental figures turn out to be jerks! First my father, then Dumbledore—wait! Did I just think of Snape as a parental figure?!? My life is over!
Snape, meanwhile, had staggered away to one side, his hand over his heart.
Ron, looking at the horrified faces of Harry, Hermione, and Snape (and the sweetly concerned one of Luna), said bracingly, "Well, I'm off to find some food. Should see how the battle's going, too. Good luck with the father crisis, mate!"
As Ron walked away, Hermione and Luna shared a look of rare understanding. Normally, of course, Luna had stunning insights into the world of the fanciful and supernatural, while Hermione, in spite of being an extremely accomplished witch, believed only in the so-called real. However, in this instance, Luna sank down beside Harry, and Hermione went off to comfort Snape.
Harry raised a tearstained face to Luna's. "V-V-Voldemort's dead and I d-d-didn't even d-d-do anything!"
"Well, that's not true, Harry," said Luna calmly. "You helped pile the Nargles onto Voldemort. They like you a lot, you know."
Harry looked up at Luna, immeasurably cheered. Almost immediately, however, he returned to the subject nearest his heart. "Luna, what if—if Snape really is my father?"
"Well," said Luna, "No one except Ron, Hermione, Professor Snape, and you and I know that's what Voldemort said."
"Yeah," replied Harry, "And Ron'll tell Fred and George, and my life'll be over."
And with that, Luna led a now fatalistic Harry from the premises, followed by Hermione and the still distraught Snape, who was missing Harry's mother more than ever. They were going to find Bellatrix Lestrange and give her a piece of their minds, then meet Ron for lunch. Or more possibly a late dinner, since Voldemort never went out during the day. Bad for the complexion.


text: I'd recommend a brief read of the info on Scott Mockry's site regarding the 20vt, at http://www.sjmautotechnik.com My initial thoughts, after the turbo bypass system, is to run codes. Secondly, perhaps the throttle position potentiometer or idle switch is not set correctly, or is intermittant. There is a fuel cutoff function on decelleration to save fuel and improve emissions; it only functions above a certain rpm with closed throttle. Do you know how to download the codes?

Four boilie trick leads to 17lb 1oz barbel
A baiting strategy based around just four boilies at a time has accounted for an incredible run of big barbel topped by this 17lb 1 oz specimen.
Stewart Barnes only began targeting a pressured River Ouse tributary in Bedfordshire late last year and he's now smashed his personal best for the species three times in four months and he says it's due to the fact that he does things a little bit differently to the rest.
To ensure the resident barbel hone straight in on his hookbaits, the warehouse manager from Hemel Hempstead will loosefeed just a single boilie and two halves into his chosen swim before lowering his simple rig into the river.
"When a river is fished as much as this you have to do something different so I never feed any more than one-and-a-half baits by hand and then a tiny pva bag of crumb," Stewart told Angling Times.
"I take a small pot that contains around 10 baits to the bank with me and this helps me maintain my disclipline as then I'm not tempted to feed any more as I'm convinced that this minimal approach to feeding has been the key to my success."
The 41-year-old's recent run of form has also seen him bank barbel topping the scales at 15lb 6oz, 14lb 7oz, 13lb 3oz, 10lb 2oz, countless smaller fish and also five chub over the 5lb mark to a best of 5lb 10oz.
Stewart is a field tester for the Hook Bait Company and all of his fish have fallen to their Barbel 5 Boilies fished on a 'combi rig'

Where to get an inflation collar to convert your hard dinghy into a combo tender/lifeboat
We have often had emails and letters from folks who read the chapter Cost Conscious Cruiser about how we converted Cheeky, our 8 foot tender into a combination tender/lifeboat. They have asked where to get affordable floatation tubes custom made. Just recently I was introduced to someone here in New Zealand that does just this. His name, Neil Curtling working under the name of Inflatable Boat and Retubes & Repairs http://www.nkconsultancy.co.nz/
I have seen the work he did for friends of ours. Perfect fit, good installation tabs and fair price.
For more ideas on combination lifeboat/tenders you might like to look at this link which takes you to our cruising tip from Steve Callahan who has created a folding combo dinghy/lifeboat. Unfortunately he has not put it into commercial production.

Bizarre rumors were spread across early in the morning that Adah Sharma was hospitalized after she met with an accident on the sets of her upcoming Telugu film. Reports also added that She fell off from a bike while shooting for an action sequence and a bus hit her.
Another Tollywood Celebrity To Enter Wedlock
These reports surely created panic in the industry circles as well as in the fan groups. Shocked by the tons of messages and calls pouring in, Adah Sharma was quick enough to trash down the rumors.
LEAKED: Akhil Akkineni Dancing Video Going Viral
"Everyone I'm alive!quickly before any rumors spread. It's very hot in Hyderabad and I have slight fever. Do not panic.nothing has happened", the Heart Attack actress tweeted.
She further added that, "I'm absolutely fine. I don't know who wanted me to be hit by a bus 😁".
In fact the rumors did not stop at hospitalizing, some of the gossip mongers on the social networking sites even stated that she is in critical condition.
However, a person, who claimed to be the spokesperson of Adah Sharma, has sent a misleading mail to media, which led to all this unwanted nuisance and the person is being traced out.

Even if you haven't tried the Paleo diet you're sure to have heard about it. Many of the health and wellness web sites I frequently browse promote the 'Paleo way' as the best way and offer tips and Paleo-friendly recipes. One blogger even posted a Paleo-friendly chocolate chip cookie recipe that used almond meal in place of flour.
So what is this infatuation with the Paleolithic way of eating all about and should you be getting on board?
Eating Like Our Ancestors (Kind of)
It's no secret that our modern day way of eating has gotten us into a lot of trouble. We eat too much sugar (from multiple sources), salt, refined grains and bad fats. On top of that much of what we eat is so over-processed it no longer contains any real nutritional value. Plus it's loaded with preservatives and other substances to enhance color and increase shelf life that our systems simply cannot process.
All of these products that we take for granted because we see them in such abundance on the shelves of the supermarket have, in part, fueled the obesity epidemic and are the culprit behind the increase in chronic diseases ranging from heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
The Paleo diet eliminates all of these 'bad' foods from our diet. Paleo is based on foods that were hunted, fished, and gathered during the Paleolithic era including meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, vegetables, roots, fruits, and berries. What you won't find on the diet are dairy products, grains, sugar, legumes, potatoes, and processed oils. Advocates of the diet believe that if the caveman didn't dine on it, you shouldn't be either.
The premise of eating like a caveman is based on the concept that the human body isn't built to digest and process all of the foods that are being manufactured and are part of the modern day diet.
Pros and Cons
There are plenty of reasons to adopt the Paleo plan:
- According to the author of "The Paleo Diet", four studies have tested the diet and have found it to be superior to the typical Western diet (no big surprise there) and the Mediterranean diet with regards to weight loss, cardiovascular health and risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
- Supporters say that this diet will cut the cases of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic conditions plaguing our society.
- The program is based on nutritious whole-foods and promotes 'clean' eating thereby eliminating all of the troublesome preservatives, and additives many people consume in volume.
- Because of the high fiber content followers experience reduced incidence of gas and bloating.
- The high fiber content will also help you feel full.
- Helps eliminate mood swings caused by drops in blood sugar that are usually followed by hunger, fatigue, and irritability.
Despite the obvious health benefits that can be gained by the Paleo diet, there are some drawbacks:
- For many people the diet may be too hard to follow. When you eliminate some of the basic food groups you have to make an effort to replace those foods with something else.
- Not everyone has access to an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. Or, if they do, the cost may be prohibitive.
- On the Paleo plan you probably won't be able to get enough Vitamin D without supplementation unless you are able to spend enough time in the sun to make up for what is lacking in the diet.
- Some nutritionists think that there's no need to eliminate grains and legumes from the diet. They provide nutrients that you can't get from other foods.
- The food restrictions make it a difficult plan to adhere to over time. Like most diets, you'll see results at first, but over time you'll grow weary of not being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods.
All Or Nothing
If you've been thinking about the diet but are not sure that you're ready to go full Paleo, there's nothing wrong with focusing on some of the positive aspects of the plan. Eating more fruits and vegetables, high fiber nuts, and lean proteins while limiting sugar, sodium and processed foods can have a positive impact on your health.
Rather than take an all or nothing approach to Paleo, you might find you are able to stick with the plan if you work out a combination such as four days on, three days off until you find out what will actually work for you. Over time you'll adjust to this new clean eating approach, but like everything, it will take some time.

Every so often things that felt confusing and challenging and hard start to flow.
Rather than fighting to make things come to fruition, they just do. Rather than feeling stuck, you have a sense of where you are going, why you want to get there and where you need to focus your energies to make them happen.
The Magic of Getting into the Flow State
When you're in a flow period, excitement and anxiety come together to create energy. And at least for a while, what seemed impossible or unlikely or complicated seems simple and achievable.
That's the way I'm feeling today. And I'm trying to figure out how to make this feeling of flow happen more often, or at least last longer
Here are six ideas that work well for me.
1. Stay With Confusion
Be willing to stay confused for a good long time. I'm convinced that without enduring confusion first, there will be no flow.
2. Listen to Your Body
When your body tells you to lie down and sleep, do that!
When I'm really wrestling with making things happen, I often have to lie down. And in a magical sort of way, when I get up, I find clarity in what had been confusing.
3. Trust that the Pieces Will Come Together
You've got to believe that what seem like random pieces of a puzzle somehow do fit together if you turn them the right way. Without that faith, you can't stay with it long enough to find the big picture.
4. Feel Your Frustration
You may feel the most frustrated just before your energy flows. I think of it as a test of will. Can you hang onto the ideas even though everyone and everything is recommending that you go in different directions? If not, the ideas weren't lined up to flow.
5. Remember… It's All Between Your Ears
Remember that the difference between being stuck and flowing has little to do with the outside world and just about everything to do with what's going in your mind. So stop railing against what's 'out there' and start thinking about what's going on inside.
6. Find a Mantra
Finally, focusing on compassion and dignity and equanimity and forgiveness seem to help me drop at least some of my self-judgement, which always stands in the way of flow.
Try memorizing Dr. James Doty's 10 letters to live by and reciting them to yourself every day.
Dr. Doty's lovely new book, Into the Magic Shop has just come out. I read it last week. Perhaps that's why my life feels so flowy right now!
Consider Your Past Flow States
Think about a time in your life when all of the pieces seemed to come together. Recall a time when your energy was not getting you stuck, but rather moving smoothly as though on a piece of velvet going with the nap. Pull up the sensation of not having to struggle — a sense of being able to trust your direction and energy.
Can you identify some of the conditions that caused that amazing period in your life? Do you have any practices you do to help you stay in the flow state more often or for longer?
Please share your flow experiences in the comments below or leave a comment on Facebook.

Look, another finished thing*. It's the Dotted Rays shawl by Westknits. As I mentioned in my knitting plans post, this was supposed to be my Christmas project. But after having to frog it twice due to me being unable to read a pattern, I had to then rip it up a third time because the needles that were in the 3.25mm packet were actually 4mms.
I ended up making quite a few minor mistakes, mostly not having enough stitches in a row, but because I'd already spent so long on it, I couldn't face unknitting whole rows and just fudged it, increasing or decreasing at the end of the row to get to the right number of stitches. As a result of all this fudging, quite a few of the yarn over holes are not quite aligned. It's barely noticeable towards the outer edge, but does look a bit messy in the centre, so if I make it again I will make sure I go more slowly and always retrace my steps if I end up with the wrong number of stitches.
I think in my knitting plans post I said I was going to work on Milo's blanket at home and have this as my travelling project, but that didn't really work out. I've realised I'm a one project at a time person, when I had the two I somehow ended up doing neither. I prioritised this just in time though, as I managed to finish it in time for the yarn festival. It's the done thing to have a newly finished thing to wear for those kind of events isn't it! This year it was all shawls everywhere (apparently last year socks were more of a thing? More difficult to show off though!).
On top of giving knitterly show offs points, this shawl is actually super wearable. I'd never been that big a fan of shawls for wearing actually, but then I'd never made a shawl taking a whole two 100g skeins before. This is actually big enough to wear as a jacket substitute, rather than like a scarf. I've worn it at work quite a bit!
The yarn choice helped. This is fybrespates vivacious 4ply. My needle choice was nearer the upper end (it's a recommended 2.5-3.5mm), and the texture has ended up very light and drapey, and great for indoor wear. I am also so happy with my colour choice. I got it at be inspired yarns in Marchmont and it took me forever to decide. I had initially planned on something navy or grey for classicness, but then once I saw all the beautiful colours on offer, I got all distracted and nearly went for a red-pink thing. This green is a perfect compromise!
Outtakes from taking pictures in Portobello:
* this is another thing that's a bit annoying about being a crafty butterfly: these are called FOs in the knitting world and makes in sewing. I don't use either often enough for them not to sound weird. Although make is definitely better! FO reminds me of those awful abbreviations people use in parenting websites. Because DS is required cos 'my son' is just far too long, obviously. And what if you have more than one, they can't both be dearest can they? Anyway, that's a rant for another time!

I love hearing, sharing, and telling the Christmas story. I have seen it told is many unique ways over the years. Using m&m's to tell the story is a first for me, but when I heard this version I had to share it with you. I love how simple it is, but gets the story across. I have always been a hands on learner that needs to see, touch, and hear something before I can really grasp a concept. I always rocked at making mobiles or poster boards when I was in school. And those were always the lessons that I would remember. The ones where I read about them plus made something to help me remember. LOL! Matter of fact my mom would always think of raps, songs, or poems to help me learn my math. So that was me tapping my foot during a math test humming a song about Susie subtracting seashells at the seashore or something like that. 🙂
I'm also a learner that loves to eat my way through a lesson! 😉 I mean who doesn't right?!?! I write about food and crafts with food evidently! What can I say??? I love to eat! 🙂 So, when a friend told me the m&m Christmas Story I new it was the one that I wanted to share! It's hands on plus you get a tasty treat! How precious is this poem? I fell in love with it the moment I read it, and I hope that you do too. I also want for my kids to be able to share this story with some of their friends so I made a circular printable for them to attach to a gift bag of m&m's to hand out. I also made one for you as well!! Click on the below link and download yourself a copy. I printed mine on white card stock so that it would hold up well on the bag.

I hope that each of you have a Merry Christmas and a fantastic day!

Abstract : The use of fiber-glass-reinforced plastics as a structural material, in conjunction with internally located foam insulation for liquid-hydrogen propellant tanks, was investigated by designing, fabricating, and experimentally evaluating a subscale tank. The tank consisted of three main components: a structural shell of filament-wound fiber glass, an internal insulation system of polyurethane foam encapsulated in a vacuum-tight jacket of aluminum-Mylar-aluminum foil laminate, and an impermeable liner of the same laminate. Liquid-hydrogen boiloff tests were used to determine the thermal performance and pressure-cycling tests were used to evaluate structural performance.

Queensland sprinter Buffering is considered by many racing experts to be the best horse in Australia yet to win a Group 1 race but trainer Robert Heathcote is hoping the rising six-year-old will be able to shake that tag during the 2013 Spring Racing Carnival.
Buffering has been placed at Group 1 level on nine occasions and Heathcote is giving him the best possible chance to finally breakthrough for a win at racings highest level by setting him for a spring campaign that will be limited to Group 1 races.
The Mossman gelding will kick-off his spring in the recently upgraded Group 1 Moir Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on September 27, a race he won when it was still a Group 2 last year, before contesting the Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) on Cox Plate eve and the Patinack Farm Classic (1200m) at Flemington on November 9.
Buffering resumed work this week and Heathcote is confident that he can fire first-up at Moonee Valley.
"I'm delighted with him; he has had a five week break and looks fantastic," Heathcote told Racing Ahead.
"In recent years we have gone down and he has won fresh at the Valley and he has proven that he races very well fresh."
Buffering's 2012 Spring Racing Carnival campaign got off to a strong start with back-to-back victories in the Moir Stakes and Group 2 Schillaci Stakes (1000m) but he ran poorly in the Manikato Stakes and Patinack Farm Classic after having an adverse reaction to an inoculation he received in order to be eligible to travel to Hong Kong for the Group 1 Hong Kong International Sprint (1200m).
Heathcote said an overseas trip was a possibility for Buffering but was unlikely to occur this year as he wishes to concentrate on the riches available in Australia.
"It is certainly on the agenda but I'm leaning more towards Perth (for the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes) after the adverse reaction last year," the leading Queensland trainer said.
"A trip overseas is definitely on the cards whether it be next year or even the following year but we would like to get a couple of Group 1's on his resume before that."
