Justin Bieber teased his fans on Instagram a snippet of a new song titled 'It's Working' and fans can't help but wonder if Biebs singing about Selena Gomez.
In addition to breaking his silence about the attempted robbery accusation, Justin Bieber took to Twitter last night, May 14, to hint at a mind-blowing collaboration between him and Michael Jackson.
Patrick Carney, drummer for alternative band The Black Keys, is taking shots at Justin Bieber again and he's not mincing words.
Justin Bieber is opening up about God and his faith in a new music video by Christian rap artist Brandon Burke.
Grand Rapids native Floyd Mayweather, Jr., remained unbeaten in professional boxing on Saturday night.
In a match against Marcos Maidana at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Mayweather improved to 46-0 with a majority decision in the welterweight world championship unification bout.
The White House has addressed the petition to deport Justin Bieber back to Canada. Their response?
It sounds like Beliebers have a hard time keeping their hands to themselves! The Justin Bieber wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Times Square in New York has been exiled to early retirement due to too much groping, which has compromised the look of the doppelganger.
The petition launched to deport Justin Bieber is being run up the political flagpole.
Justin Bieber will return to court regarding his controversial DUI and drag racing charges on Valentine's Day.
There's one person supporting Justin Bieber through these trying post-arrest times, and that's Steven Tyler, who has had his own share of troubles in the past.
Justin Bieber is relaxing on the beaches of Panama following his Jan. 23 arrest -- and he has consumed a couple of brews in the process.
If you're wondering what Selena Gomez is up to since Justin Bieber got arrested, she's not bothering trying to talk to him. Instead, she's reaching out to others in Bieber's inner circle, including his mom, Pattie Mallette, and his onetime best friend and swagger coach, Ryan Good.

V2 is the pick of the three here Lesley. The water in V1 appears blown on my monitor, and I just took it into PS and saw that it was a little at the base of the waterfall. V2 however is a dream of an image, and I would have had that as the introductory image. It is a magnificent image that beats the other two hands down. The colours are more subtle, and the composition very pleasing to the eye. The dreaminess of the water works perfectly. Ditch the other two and stick with V2...you know it makes sense

Micromechanical Device
Including Time-Release
This invention relates to the field of surface treatments, more particularly to surface treatments for micromechanical devices, most particularly to systems and processes for the efficient application of surface treatments on micromechanical devices.
Micromechanical devices are small structures typically fabricated on a semiconductor wafer using techniques such as optical lithography, doping, metal sputtering, oxide deposition, and plasma etching which have been developed for the fabrication of integrated circuits.
Digital micromirror devices (DMDs), sometimes referred to as deformable micromirror devices, are a type of micromechanical device. Other types of micromechanical devices include accelerometers, pressure and flow sensors, gears and motors. While some micromechanical devices, such as pressure sensors, flow sensors, and DMDs have found commercial success, other types have not yet been commercially viable.
Digital micromirror devices are primarily used in optical display systems. In display systems, the DMD is a light modulator that uses digital image data to modulate a beam of light by selectively reflecting portions of the beam of light to a display screen. While analog modes of operation are possible, DMDs typically operate in a digital bistable mode of operation and as such are the core of the first true digital full-color image projection systems.
Micromirrors have evolved rapidly over the past ten to fifteen years. Early devices used a deformable reflective membrane which, when electrostatically attracted to an underlying address electrode, dimpled toward the address electrode. Schlieren optics illuminate the membrane and create an image from the light scattered by the dimpled portions of the membrane. Schlieren systems enabled the membrane devices to form images, but the images formed were very dim and had low contrast ratios, making them unsuitable for most image display applications.
Later micromirror devices used flaps or diving board-shaped cantilever beams of silicon or aluminum, coupled with dark-field optics to create images having improved contrast ratios. Flap and cantilever beam devices typically used a single metal layer to form the top reflective layer of the device. This single metal layer tended to deform over a large region, however, which scattered light impinging on the deformed portion. Torsion beam devices use a thin metal layer to form a torsion beam, which is referred to as a hinge, and a thicker metal layer to form a rigid member, or beam, typically having a mirror-like surface: concentrating the deformation on a relatively small portion of the DMD surface. The rigid mirror remains flat while the hinges deform, minimizing the amount of light scattered by the device and improving the contrast ratio of the device.
Recent micromirror configurations, called hidden-hinge designs, further improve the image contrast ratio by fabricating the mirror on a pedestal above the torsion beams. The elevated mirror covers the torsion beams, torsion beam supports, and a rigid yoke connecting the torsion beams and mirror support, further improving the contrast ratio of images produced by the device.
Due to the very small size of the micromechanical devices, attractive forces between the various components of the micromechanical devices—most notably van der Waals force—are capable of overcoming the operational forces of the device. For example, van der Waals force creates an attraction, often referred to as stiction, between the micromirror and the underlying landing electrode that is capable of keeping the mirror permanently deflected—ruining the micromirror device.
One method of preventing the effects of van der Waals forces uses a surface treatment, or passivation layer to reduce the attraction between components of the micromechanical device. One such surface treatment is perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA). PFDA is comprised of a COOH terminal group that bonds to the surfaces of the micromechanical devices, a CF3 terminal group that is relatively inert, and a carbon chain linking the two terminal groups. Other surface treatments are also available. For example, similar molecules with either longer or shorter carbon chains also provide suitable surface treatments in some applications.
When applied to the plasma-cleaned metal surface of a micromechanical device, the PFDA forms a self-aligned monolayer of closely-packed molecules. The CF3 terminal groups form the exposed surface of the monolayer leaving a relatively inert surface which prevents stiction between the component parts of the micromechanical device.
While PFDA solves the stiction problem in micromechanical devices, its application presents many difficulties. Existing methods are quite wasteful since virtually all of the PFDA to which the micromechanical device is exposed is exhausted as waste. PFDA is a toxic material and is disposed of as a toxic acid. Furthermore, existing application methods tend to both clog and corrode the application equipment used. Thus, existing methods risk exposure to toxic materials, create excessive hazardous waste, have high labor costs to maintain equipment, and are wasteful of the raw PFDA material. What is needed is a better system and method for the application of the surface treatments.
Objects and advantages will be obvious, and will in part appear hereinafter and will be accomplished by the present invention which provides a method and system for the efficient deposition and recapture of a surface treatment material. According to one embodiment of the claimed invention, a method of applying a surface treatment. The method comprising the steps of providing a surface treatment material, typically PFDA, in a source chamber; evacuating a deposition chamber enclosing an object to be treated; heating the source chamber, the deposition chamber, the object, and an upper portion of a recovery chamber to a temperature above the evaporation point of the surface treatment material; heating the surface treatment material in the presence of a carrier gas to evaporate the surface treatment material; exposing the object to the carrier gas and the evaporated surface treatment material; removing the carrier gas and the evaporated surface treatment material to the recovery chamber; and recovering the evaporated surface treatment vapor or material in the recovery chamber. The surface treatment material is typically recovered in a lower portion of the recovery chamber, which is maintained at a temperature below the freezing point of the PFDA vapor.
The evaporated surface treatment material is typically recovered by condensing the evaporated surface treatment in a removable lower portion of said recovery chamber. Multiple deposition chambers are optionally used with the deposition system, and each deposition chamber is independently emptied and refilled with objects to be treated between delivery of the surface treatment-charged carrier gas. After the supply of source material is exhausted, the source chamber may be cleaned by opening a lower portion of the source chamber.
The system is reversed by the additional steps of: cooling a lower portion of the source chamber; heating the lower portion of the recovery chamber to evaporate the recovered source material into the carrier gas; transferring the evaporated recovered source material and the carrier gas into the deposition chamber; removing the carrier gas and the evaporated recovered surface treatment material to the source chamber; and condensing the evaporated recovered surface treatment material in the lower portion of the source chamber.
According to another embodiment, a system for applying a surface treatment to an object is disclosed. The system comprises: a source chamber for holding a source of surface treatment material; a deposition chamber enclosing the object; a recovery chamber; conduit connecting the source chamber to the deposition chamber and the deposition chamber to the recovery chamber and controlling the flow of a carrier gas between the source chamber, the deposition chamber and the recovery chamber; a supply of the carrier gas; and a heater for heating the source chamber, the source of surface treatment material, the deposition chamber, an upper portion of the recovery chamber, the carrier gas, and the conduit.
In operation, the heater evaporates the surface treatment material from the source container into the carrier gas, the conduit transfers the evaporated surface treatment material into the deposition chamber where a portion of the evaporated surface treatment material is deposited on the object, the conduit further transferring a remaining portion of the surface treatment material to the recovery chamber where it condenses in a lower portion of the recovery chamber.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a system for depositing and recovering a surface treatment material.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart detailing one surface treatment process using the system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a plot of the system pressure over time as the system of FIG. 1 loads a surface treatment material into window getters used in micromirror device packages by a process similar to that described in FIG. 2.
A system 100 for depositing and recovering a surface treatment material is shown in FIG. 1. The system 100 shown in FIG. I allows a surface treatment material 102, such as the supply of PFDA, to be deposited on an object 104, typically a micromechanical device such as micromirror device, while avoiding excessive waste of the surface treatment material 102 and while minimizing unwanted accumulation of the material 102 throughout the system 100.
Although the examples taught by this disclosure will describe the conditions necessary to deposit PFDA 102 on a micromirror 104, these examples have been chosen for purposes of illustration—not for purposes of limitation. Other source materials and objects are equally applicable to the methods taught herein, typically with various changes to the pressures and temperatures taught herein.
The system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is comprised of six major components: a source chamber 106, a recovery chamber 108, a carrier gas source 110, a deposition chamber 112, a vacuum source 114, and a network of conduit 116. Additional deposition chambers, such as deposition chamber 118, are often connected to the conduit 116 to allow the surface treatment to be applied to many more objects.
Source chamber 106 and recovery chamber 108 are typically identical metal canisters comprised of an upper portion 120 and a removable lower portion 122. The material forming source chamber 106 and the recovery chamber 108 must be selected to avoid chemical reactions with the surface treatment material 102. Source chamber 106 and recovery chamber 108 are typically 316 stainless steel, which is sufficiently impervious to the evaporated PFDA to which the chambers are exposed.
Evaporated PFDA will attack the Cr, Fe, and Co in the 316 stainless steel, but only at a rather slow rate. The lower portions 122 of the supply chamber 106 and the recovery chamber 108 are exposed to much higher concentrations of PFDA since the melted source material 102 is present in the lower portions 122, or lids, of the chambers. The lower portions of the chambers are chrome plated to prevent excessive corrosion of the lower portions 122 of the chambers.
Conduit 116 is any necessary ductwork, tubing, or pipe necessary to interconnect the source chamber 106, recovery chamber 108, and carrier gas source 110. Conduit 116 also includes valves, gauges, flowmeters, flow regulators, and pressure regulators that aid in the control and monitoring of the deposition process.
Heating system 124 heats various portions of the system 100 during the deposition process. Although shown as a single heating system 124, it should be understood that the heating system 124 is typically comprised of multiple heating elements distributed throughout the system 100. For example, separate heating elements typically heat the upper and lower portions of the source chamber 106 and the recovery chamber 108. Likewise, both the deposition chamber 112 and the carrier gas source 110 typically have individual heaters. Additionally, a strip heater is typically wrapped around conduit 116, and conduit 116 is insulated, to control the temperature of the gases inside the conduit 116.
Carrier gas source 110 is typically a pressurized tank of nitrogen. Nitrogen is chosen since it is a widely available inert gas. As described in more detail below, a carrier gas is used to prevent accidental condensation of the PFDA should the evaporated PFDA cool slightly during the deposition process. Vacuum source 114 is used to evacuate the deposition chamber 112 and the conduit 116 as necessary during the deposition of the surface treatment.
The goal of the deposition process is to evaporate a quantity of the source material 102, transfer the evaporated source material 102 to the deposition oven 112 where a portion of the evaporated material 102 will form a surface layer on the object 104, and then transfer the evaporated source material to a recovery chamber 108 where the source material 102 is recovered.
One of the primary shortcomings of prior system for depositing the PFDA on a micromechanical device was the condensation of the evaporated PFDA throughout the system. This condensation occurred whenever the PFDA vapor cooled below the dew point, either due to passage through unheated portions of the system, heat losses, or when entering a vacuum after the deposition process. The condensed PFDA quickly constricted the conduits through which the PFDA vapor passed, and required regular cleaning and removal. The condensed PFDA vapor also corroded the portions of the system on which it condensed.
The amount of PFDA in the carrier gas and the temperature of the carrier gas are regulated to prevent unwanted deposition of the PFDA throughout the system 100. The temperatures at which the deposition process is performed are carefully chosen to prevent unwanted condensation. PFDA is an ideal substance for use in this system because it melting point, 87� C., is well above room temperature, 25� C., yet low enough to be easily achieved using common heating equipment. Furthermore, because the deposition of PFDA is an exothermic process, holding the deposition chamber 112 at too high of a temperature will slow the deposition process since the energy released by the exothermic deposition cannot be efficiently dissipated. Additionally, the partial pressure of the PFDA is a function of the temperature of the carrier gas stream.
To provide some margin for accidental cooling, the deposition process is performed at a temperature well above the melting point of the source material. For example, the deposition is performed at least 10� C. above the melting point of the source material. When depositing PFDA, the deposition process is performed at a temperature of at least 100� C., and optimally at 105� C., 18� C. above the melting point of the PFDA.
The use of a carrier gas also prevents accidental deposition of the PFDA. Without a carrier gas, the evaporated PFDA would condense on any surface cooler than the PFDA vapor. The carrier gas enables the use of an unsaturated vapor. The partial pressure of the PFDA, which determines the temperature at which PFDA will condense out of the carrier gas, is controlled by regulating the flow of the carrier gas and the temperature of the source chamber 106. Flow regulators 142 and pressure regulators 144 located at various points along conduit 116 regulate the flow of the gasses through the system. Likewise, flow monitor 146 and gauges 148 allow the deposition process to be monitored.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the deposition process 200. The following description of the deposition process will make simultaneous reference to both the steps shown in FIG. 2 and the system components shown in FIG. 1. The first step of the deposition process is to load the micromirrors 104 and, if necessary, the source material 102 into the system 100. The system is then purged by removing the air and replacing it with the carrier gas, in this case nitrogen, by opening valves 126 and 128. The system pressure after this step is 600 torr, well below atmospheric pressure of 760 torr.
Heating system 124 heats the deposition system 100 in step 206, except for the lower portion 122 of the recovery chamber 108, to a temperature sufficient to evaporate the source material—typically 105� C. After the system is heated, the deposition chamber is evacuated in step 208. This step 208, which holds the deposition chamber at a vacuum for about 30 minutes, removes any moisture that may have been present in the chamber or the objects 104 to be treated. The evacuation step 208 may be performed while the system is being heated. Alternatively, the source material is not heated until after the moisture is removed from the objects being treated.
A small amount of the carrier gas is delivered to the deposition chamber at the end of step 208 to raise the pressure in the chamber to roughly 20 to 30 torr. This small amount of gas prevents the PFDA-laden carrier gas from chilling below its dew point when it is delivered to the chamber in step 210—which would allow the PFDA to condense out of the vapor.
FIG. 1 shows parallel paths between the vacuum source 114 and the deposition chamber 112, and between the carrier gas source 110 and the deposition chamber 112. One path 150 is designed to provide a high-flow connection between the vacuum source 114 and the deposition oven 112, while the parallel path 152 provides a low-flow connection. Likewise, path 154 provides a high-flow connection between the carrier gas source 110 and the deposition oven 112, while the parallel path 156 provides a low-flow connection. The parallel paths provide control over the flow of gases into and out of the deposition chamber 112. For example, small amount of carrier gas necessary to raise the pressure of the deposition chamber 112 to 20-30 torr is provided using the low-flow carrier gas path 156 in combination with the high-flow path 150 between the vacuum source 114 and the deposition oven 112. Micromirror devices can be damaged if gases are allowed to enter or exit the deposition chamber too quickly. High flow rates stir up dust in the deposition chamber which contaminates the devices. Rapid pressure changes tear the mirrors from the devices.
An alternative to separate high-flow and low-flow paths uses flow controllers and auto pressure regulators to adjust the flow of the gases. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1, however, provides sufficient control over the gases and is less expensive.
Returning to FIG. 2, the source material begins melting as the system is heated in step 206. When valves 130, 132, and 134 are opened, in step 210, the melted PFDA evaporates into the carrier gas entering the source chamber 106. This PFDA-laden carrier gas is delivered to the deposition chamber 112. As the PFDA-laden carrier gas is delivered, valves 136, 138, and 140 are opened to ensure the PFDA vapor is delivered all the way to the deposition chamber 112.
During soak step 212, all valves are shut and the PFDA-laden carrier gas is allowed to remain the in deposition chamber 112 for a period in which the deposition takes place. The speed at which the deposition occurs is dependent on the amount of PFDA in the carrier gas and the temperature of the system. The PFDA does not condense out of the gas onto the micromirror 104, but rather reacts with the micromirror surfaces to form a monolayer. The PFDA also forms a monolayer on the inner surfaces of the deposition chamber 104, source chamber 106, recovery chamber 108, and conduit 116, but unlike the constricting waste formed by condensation, the monolayer that forms on the inside of the deposition system 100 is self-limiting to a one molecule thick layer.
After the soak period in step 212, valves 126, 136, 138, and 140 are opened to allow the depleted vapor to be transferred to the recovery chamber in step 214. Although the PFDA in the PFDA-laden carrier gas from the oven 112 has been partially depleted, the vast majority of the evaporated PFDA remains in the carrier gas. Because only the upper portion of the recovery chamber 108 is heated, the PFDA remaining in the carrier gas condenses out of the carrier gas and is deposited in the lower portion of the recovery chamber 108 where it can be reclaimed, and the carrier gas can be exhausted, in step 216.
At this point, the process typically is finished and the deposition chamber 112 is opened and the micromirrors 104 are removed and replaced with untreated devices. If additional PFDA deposition is required, however, as in the case where the PFDA is deposited into getters attached to the package windows, the deposition cycle is repeated as indicated by step 218. Although not shown in FIG. 2, if an additional deposition is required but an insufficient quantity of the source material remains in the source chamber, the recovered material from the recovery chamber is used, or additional source material is added to the system. The deposition cycle is repeated with additional devices or windows until the source of surface treatment material is depleted.
When the original source of surface treatment material is depleted, the vast majority of the material is located in the recovery chamber 108 where it has condensed in the cooler lower portion 122 of the chamber. The recovered PFDA in the recovery chamber 108 is used as the source material and the path of the PFDA-laden carrier gas is reversed. When the process is reversed, the recovered PFDA is evaporated in the recovery chamber 108 and delivered to the deposition chamber 112 as indicated by step 220. PFDA vapors that do not bond to the object being treated 104 are transferred to the source chamber 106 in step 222. The lower portion 122 of the source chamber 106 is cooled—causing the evaporated recovered PFDA to condense out of the carrier gas in step 224. Thus, the deposition cycle is reversed and repeated until the original supply of PFDA is exhausted. In FIG. 1, the valves used in the reverse-flow cycle are labeled with the number of the corresponding valve for the forward cycle followed by an "R" to indicate the reverse cycle.
Because the entire system is kept at an elevated temperature the entire time it is exposed to the PFDA-laden vapors, only a monolayer of the PFDA is deposited in the system chambers and conduit. Thus, there is no build-up of the PFDA in the system which would require disassembly and clean-out. Since the PFDA is consumed only by self-limiting monolayer deposited in the deposition system and the desired monolayer on the objects 104 being treated, there is virtually no waste, and the system, except for the deposition chamber 112, can remain closed while a great many objects are treated by recovering the excess material and reversing the flow of the material through the system. Keeping the system closed prevents contaminants from entering the system.
The purity of the PFDA vapor has a very large effect on the component yield. There are two classes of impurities in the PFDA: organic impurities that are included in the source PFDA material, and PFDA corrosion salts created when the hot PFDA attacks the metal chambers. The corrosion salts do not evaporate during the process and are easily removed by cleaning the lower portion of each chamber, both the source chamber 106 and the recovery chamber 108, as they are emptied.
FIG. 3 shows a pressure profile for the process of depositing the surface treatment material into the window getters of micromirror devices. When the process starts, the air is removed and replaced with carrier gas (N2). The carrier gas is added until the pressure in the deposition chamber reaches 600 torr. This pressure is maintained for eight minutes to allow the system and the objects being treated to warm up.
The system is then evacuated for thirty minutes to remove all of the moisture from the window getters. At the end of the thirty minute evacuation step, a small amount of the carrier gas is delivered to the oven. This "puff" of carrier gas brings the deposition chamber pressure to between 20 and 30 torr—enough to prevent the PFDA vapor from chilling below its dew point and condensing the PFDA vapor when the PFDA vapor enters the deposition chamber.
The PFDA-laden carrier gas is then delivered to the deposition chamber while the vacuum path is open—ensuring the PFDA vapor is actually delivered all the way through the system and into the deposition chamber. After this delivery, the vacuum port is closed and the PFDA vapor stream fills the deposition chamber to a pressure of 600 torr. When the deposition chamber pressure reaches 600 torr, the delivery valve is shut.
The PFDA vapor remains in the deposition oven for four minutes to allow the PFDA vapor time to soak into the window getters. The depleted vapor is removed in a brief pump-down, and another load of PFDA-laden carrier gas is admitted into the deposition chamber to load additional PFDA into the window getters. This pump-down/delivery cycle is repeated until a sufficient amount of PFDA is stored in the window getters.
At the end of the final delivery cycle the system is purged with carrier gas. When processing window getters, this step must be performed as quickly as possible since the excess PFDA loaded in the window getters evaporates out of the window getters.
Thus, although there has been disclosed to this point a particular embodiment for an efficient surface treatment material deposition and recovery system and method thereof, it is not intended that such specific references be considered as limitations upon the scope of this invention except insofar as set forth in the following claims. Furthermore, having described the invention in connection with certain specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that further modifications may now suggest themselves to those skilled in the art, it is intended to cover all such modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Now is the time to show that the "rich" aren't the only people who can realize when a good opportunity arises and to go forward to take advantage of that situation. The icing on the cake is the current tax law that will allow an individual who lives in the owner occupied house tax accumulation and sale of the house up to $250,000 in gains on the house; $500,000 for a married couple with the same scenario. You need only to hold the house for 2 years to get this income tax exclusion, or you could be appointed Secretary of the Treasury, but I digress again.
Now, for the sad part: most people will wait until housing has made its move, and then tell everyone or anyone who will listen, that it is a false move and the prices are going to come down again. After that, they will wait and watch prices move up slowly and make one of two decisions: move to a less expensive area and purchase there, or jump into the market when prices are 25% higher or more and take a "funky mortgage", such as as an option arm, to be able to make the payments that were in their reach when prices were 25% lower or more.
Why do we go through the same cycle over and over? People are human and susceptible to all distractions that simply distract human beings. These, of course, are American Idol, The View and other "entertainment" seen on TV; daily press conferences from our leader or leaders where nothing changes but the scenery; filling out the "final four field" and texting to everyone you know about anything that happened to anyone at anytime. Not making the list is establishing a plan to increase your net worth; examining the figures on the real estate market in your area and searching for the best situation in any area where you are likely to be taking some action in the near future.
I do not believe that my fellow man is lazy or uneducated, but simply overwhelmed by everyday life. I know it isn't easy out there for anyone. But now is the time to grab oneself by the hand and lead yourself to the promised land of a secure financial future. Take a little time out of your daily trials and tribulations and try to pinpoint some great opportunities. Call or write people you believe can help you in your quest and start accumulating information that you need to move forward. And, last but not least, take the plunge at a time that is as good as it has been in years. Give up the thought that you want to wait until the bottom is reached. There will not be an announcement!
Remember, we need as many wealthy people as we can get. We have a huge debt to repay, and inflation will not be able to do the job by itself. Best of all, we can change the "have" and "have not" ratio for good in this country.

Bella Photographs by Amy Ingram.
Why did I choose the name "Bella Photographs"?
My grandmother Isabella came to mind when naming my studio. She was called "Bella" for short by a family member. Bella means beautiful in Latin. When looking at old photographs of her, she was truly beautiful, or should I say "Bella".
East Tennessee based photographer recently relocated to clear across the other side of the state (Memphis). Currently have openings for weddings and portraits. Also available head-shots for corporate professionals, cover-shots for musicians.

I hated this stuff. It completely dried out my skin, and did nothing to help prevent breakouts. I will definitely not repurchase.

This is an overall great cleanser. It's very gentle & doesn't completely strip your face of it's natural oils. I use this cleanser morning and night and it removes my makeup and leaves my skin feeling clean and balanced. I will purchase again.

I really like this product, it's the best cleanser I've used so far, but it's not perfect so I took one lippie off. It smells nice, cleans perfectly (even my makeup), and it's not harsh (not like most acne cleansers) but I do need to moisturize after or I will feel a little tightness around my forehead. I don't know about the clear complexion, cause I just bought this 3 days ago, it sure didn't give me any pimples after so assume that it works. Just don't depend on it to do a miracle for your existing acne.

to start off with i have very very sensitive skin, i break out, and my skin can get dry in some places, i had high hopes for this product falling for the "clear complexion" name. i was very wrong indeed. this stripped my face burning it creating a nast film on the sides of my face. i used this for a bit until i could take it no longer and dumped it... i definitely wont repurchase.. i wont recommend this for people with extra sensitive skin

Whats with the awful reviews? Hubby and I are on our 3rd bottle. Hubby has oily and acne type skin, while I have normal to dry skin. This bottle is my everyday cleanser. Removes makeup easily and without tugging. I have noticed no new break outs on hubby or myself. The pump did "go funky" on one of our bottles, nothing major. We both enjoy that once you pump you get the foam.

I find this to be a very nice, gentle cleanser with a small amount of BHA in it. Not strong enough to do any real blemish fighting but it's still a very nice cleanser. I'd recommend it for combo/oily skin.

When i was in my pre-teens I used Aveeno positively radiant to cleanse my face, and that worked fine until a few years later i started having minor blemishes. I had accidentally bought the foaming cleanser, so i started using it, and had great results. It was soft and seemed to work nicely as a somewhat gentle but also breakout-fighting wash. I have moved on to a more active oil-fighting/breakout-controlling skincare regimen - the aveeno just didn't cut it anymore, it was either too gentle or left too much of a film. But sometimes I take a break from my daily scrub and use this, or my cetaphil, as another option, and I have no complaints. Overall: good product to use on normal-to-slightly-oily skin, but should be used in conjunction with a stronger product. Works as promised.
EDIT: i've just gone back to this stuff after using sephora's TESS normal skin kit... that was wayy too harsh for my poor skin and stripped my skin/made me more oily/caused more blemishes... but now i'm back to this, and in 2 days my skin has calmed down, evened its tone, and stopped being so oily and aggravated. thank you aveeno!

I just threw away a half bottle of this after giving it a good fighting chance for awhile. As an experiment, I used only this cleanser for three weeks straight (that's a week over the amount of time it take pimples to form). I'd had my suspicions about it before, but it was just my "extra" cleanser at my boyfriend's house (my standby is Cetaphil). Well, sure enough, I have weird small oozing pimples in places I normally never get them-- i.e. the middle of my cheeks. Though this cleanser was soft, foamy and fun to use, I'm afraid I had to bin it because I suspect the SUPER-strong fragrance caused major breakouts. I originally got it to clear up much more minor pimples than these! Back to Cetaphil again, which as usual should clear my skin in a few days, I hope.

Although the price was right and packaging fair...I would not buy this product again. Since I've been using this product I have been breaking out on the right side of my face and under my chin. (small pimples) My nose has also started peeling and is red. I don't know what to do about it now.
Like another member posted, I also, feel I might be allergic to the salycilic acid. But I'm not sure. I would not buy this product again. It is not for sensitive skin...even though Aveeno has been known as a "for sensitive skin" brand.

This is one of the worst face washes I have tried; and I have tried a lot. I used this on my face for about a month, and, at first, it seemed as though it was helping my skin; my cystic acne started to disappear. However, after about a week, I noticed my skin started peeling. Then, I noticed an abundance of white heads. Nearly three weeks later, my skin looked like a red, flaky, mountain of horrible. I don't even know how to discribe it. I am not allergic to S.A. (my H.G. moisteriser has it in it), so I don't know what was in this product that caused my skin to flair up as badly as it did. Oh, and to emphasize how bad this product is: one day I ran out of hand soap, and decided to use this instead (since I wasn't putting this juck on my face anymore), and after two or three washes with this, I got this horrendous read pimple like bump on my hand. It took a week for it to go away. Needless to say, I threw the rest of it away. Such a waste of money. I will most likely NEVER purchase an Aveeno product (for my face at least) again.

Surgery performed with followup radiation ad went into remission. All that time he had a cough and I kept asking PC doc to follow up. He said it was a sinus problem. About 5 months ago he was losing weight, still coughing and extremely fatigued. Also trouble swallowing. That spelled lung cancer to me. I begged for CT scan of chest and throat. My brother told the urologist that his sister wanted a CT scan done. He said,"She WANTS a CT scan? She WANTS it? I am not ordering that.". Subsequently told that spot had been found at time of bladder cancer and PC doc not informed. Then they say PET scan was done. No followup don

Med mal cases are extremely fact-intensive (meaning it is almost impossible for an attorney to judge the merits of your case based on the 6 or 7 lines worth of information provided). But you have a few things going against you:
(1) VA hospital - If med mal cases weren't complicated enough: suing the federal government comes with a whole new set of challenges and immunity/damage caps issues.
(2) Your father, being 88 years old, according to any mortuary table is probably very close to his life expectancy. I hope he lives much longer...but when calculating damages, future medical care is a signficant issue. Limited lifespans lower the value of a case like this. Medical malpractice cases are notoriously expensive cases to bring...the potential damages have to far exceed the costs of bringing such a claim.
But please consult with a medical malpractice attorney licensed to practice in New York. As I said before, I couldn't possibly fully appreciate the full picture of the facts surrounding your father's potential case based on the limited information provided.
Good luck to you.

Respectfully, if you re-read the question the father is deceased.
You are 100% correct. I apologize - I went right for the "question details" rather than the "title." Doesn't change the immunity issues and difficulty + great expense bringing a wrongful death claim for medical malpractice. Still needs to consult with an attorney to review the unique circumstances surrounding the potential claim.
Of course. Just giving you a heads up to allow you to address it.

This post is in the criminal law section. You should re-post in the medical malpractice section where there is probably a better chance of getting an accurate answer. Sorry for your issue and hope you find an attorney that you feel comfortable with. Good luck.

Judge calls ex-principal 'master groomer' and sends him to prison for sex abuse
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
HEBER CITY — A judge threw the book at a former principal Monday, calling him a "master groomer" who sexually abused young boys.
Charles Weber, 66, was sentenced by 4th District Judge Lynn Davis to two consecutive terms of five years to life in prison for two counts of forcible sodomy, a first-degree felony, in connection with the abuse of a 15-year-old boy, who was a former student.
Weber was arrested last year after he "admitted to sexually abusing several young boys over the past 35 years," FBI agent Jeffrey Ross wrote in a police affidavit filed in 4th District Court.
"There does appear to me to be a sort of tutoring process, grooming process, manipulation process as it pertains to youth in this community," the judge said of Weber. "Some of these events go back to 1975 and 1977 and some are as recent as 2012, so he is a master groomer."
Davis said Weber's behavior was especially concerning given his position as an educator in the community. Weber had been an educator for more than 40 years, most recently as principal of the award-winning Soldier Hollow Charter School in Midway.
Prosecutor McKay King said his office is aware of a number of other victims and believe there are at least two others whose cases may lead to additional prosecution. He told the judge that Weber would target young men who were going through challenging times and offer them help, which would eventually lead to abuse.
"The defendant would convince these young boys that he was the only person they could trust — over their parents and other school persons. That they owed him the sexual gratification he got from them," King said.
The prosecutor asked the judge to take into account more than just the case at hand.
"This case is the first conviction, but the story behind this goes much beyond that," King said. "What we have is an individual who has been offending (against) young boys for 40 years, which is how this came to light."
Police began investigating Weber after a 48-year-old man told FBI agents that between 1975 and 1977 he was sexually molested on several occasions by Weber, his elementary school teacher at the time. He said the abuse began when he was 11 years old and included fondling and sex acts, the affidavit states. He also said the incidents occurred in Utah and other states.
The agents then interviewed Weber, who told them he had been a teacher for more than 40 years and he admitted sexually abusing several boys over the past 35 years, the affidavit states. During the interview, police say he admitted sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy between January and April 2012 and charges were filed in that case. Investigators later learned the teen had been a student at the school where Weber was principal.
Weber's attorney, Dana Facemyer, asked that his client be given probation, citing a number of health issues ranging from sleep apnea to kidney failure and arthritis. He also asked for concurrent sentences based on Weber's age and the fact that the charges involved only one victim.
When given an opportunity to address the judge, Weber spoke only briefly, saying that while a presentence report indicated he had no sorrow or remorse, that isn't the case.
"I expressed great remorse that had happened," Weber said. "That was a great remorse that I had."
He added that he had a heart attack last year and cares for his 83-year-old father. He asked the judge to take that into consideration.
Weber pleaded guilty to the two counts in April. Four additional first-degree felony sodomy charges were dismissed in exchange for his plea.
Julia Lowe, a former Soldier Hollow employee who is distantly related to the victim, said she thought Weber's focus on his own medical issues in court was "sick."
"I'd like to hear apologies to the victims, the youth, I didn't hear anything," she said. "No remorse, anything in his countenance, physical body language — it's pretty sad. I don't think anyone like that should be on the streets."
She said it has been hard for her to think about what else she and her fellow school employees could have done to protect their students. She was also disappointed in the lack of representation from the charter school at the sentencing Tuesday.
"I think we need to send a super strong message that this won't be tolerated in our communities and families," she said.
King said he was satisfied that the sentence ordered was the maximum that the judge could have handed down.
"It will never be enough for what Mr. Weber has done," King said. "Nothing is going to fix those victims' lives, but we did everything we could to protect society for as long as possible."

"This invitation had plenty of room for all the information we wanted to include, and we used the back of the card to share where our daughter will be attending college in the fall. We chose the matte paper, which was perfect as the black background resembles a chalkboard look. The black also was a nice contrast to our photos."
"Exactly as pictured. Easy to personalize. It is LARGE! We didn't look at the size and were surprised by how big it is, but that's ok. It's beautiful!"
"I have had many compliments from family and friends about how nice my sons graduation card turned out. I liked how I could put so many different pictures on to view. Also, how I could mix colored and black and white pictures."
