fabric scraps in compost pile?
In addition to being a newbie mini-gardener/composter, I am also an avid quilter. I use 100% cotton fabrics - and have lots of little bitty pieces - like 1/4" or less wide by several inches long (the raggedy edges).
Anyone have any luck w/cotton fabric scraps turned to compost? Was just hoping I could add one more thing to my list of compostable items - and thinking that it was originally plant material.
[Of course I do have tons of leaves in the woodlands area in my backyard but nothing to shred them with - thinking of just piling them up as is w/some nitro source.]
Thanks, Tree
I topped the pile with an old wool sweater once. The coon thought it was too good to pass up, but as he tried to abscond with it, it hitched to the metal fence, and the coon left empty handed. The sweater is gone now, composted.
Cotton scraps are a great addition to the compost.
The only stuff we seem to throw out in the trash is plastic and that is only if it is not re-usable or re-cyclable in some way.
Paper is compostable too though glossy stuff doesn't compost so well due to the coatings on it (often close to plastic.)
Leaves don't have to be shredded to compost, they just do it faster if shredded.
Natural fibers, Cotton, Wool, Flax, etc. are good types of things to add to the compost pile, but the synthetics, Dacron, Rayon, Nylon, etc. are not.
Most of my clothing and fabric gets used or reused somehow. I give it away if I can't wear it or don't want it anymore. If it wears out, it becomes cleaning rags. Beyond that, it goes into the compost bin.
I used to quilt and sew. When I get a new sewing machine, I'll take it up again and make sure to keep the fabric scraps and stray threads, although the fabric scraps get sorted to filter out anything that can first be used for scrap quilts.
Dear Lilacs in May,
When I get done digging boulders out of the "beds" I'll get back to my quilting :) . . . there is a season for everything . . .
I love scrap quilts, but I still have lots of selvages & just scraps that I know I'll never use & don't want to keep track of.
All the Best,
If they are just small scraps, you can also put them in strategic places for birds to find in late winter. I included a link to another thread (ha) on the subject. It's quite a treat to find a nest with scraps of your latest project in it! Of course, natural fibers are best, but others can also work as long as they don't degrade into long, nonbiodegradeable string that can injure or kill a chick.
Here is a link that might be useful: Fabric Scraps for Birds

"Get The Abridged Version"
"Shantaram" is a story full of potential and possibilities up to which it never lives. The story is enticing, the narrative well written, the dialog banal, and the phrases endlessly repetitious ("with all my heart"). The protagonist has few redeeming qualities, and his lover even fewer.
Still, "Shantaram" might be worth the listening in the abridged version.

Tangled Memories: The Vietnam War, the AIDS Epidemic, and the Politics of Remembering (Google eBook)
University of California Press, Jan 29, 1997 - History - 375 pages
Analyzing the ways U.S. culture has been formed and transformed in the 80s and 90s by its response to the Vietnam War and the AIDS epidemic, Marita Sturken argues that each has disrupted our conventional notions of community, nation, consensus, and "American culture." She examines the relationship of camera images to the production of cultural memory, the mixing of fantasy and reenactment in memory, the role of trauma and survivors in creating cultural comfort, and how discourses of healing can smooth over the tensions of political events.Sturken's discussion encompasses a brilliant comparison of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the AIDS Qui

Page 10 - ... technologies of the self, which permit individuals to effect by their own means or with the help of others a certain number of operations on their own bodies and souls, thoughts, conduct, and a way of being, so as to transform themselves in order to attain a certain state of happiness, purity, wisdom, perfection, or immortality" (Foucault 1988: 18; italics mine).
Page 8 - I have sought to suggest that this value attached to narrativity in the representation of real events arises out of a desire to have real events display the coherence, integrity, fullness, and closure of an image of life that is and can only be imaginary.

When I started this series I tried to watch it in the order it was broadcast but that just confused me so I ended up watching it chronologically. I want to get the manga, now, and check it out. I also can't wait for season 2.
I really loved this series. It made me laugh my head off. I love the relationship between Kyon and Haruhi. They're complete opposites and it's just funny to watching them interact with each other.
My favorite character would either be Kyon or Haruhi. I liked how Kyon narrated the story and expressed his perspective of the characters around. And his bored and sarcastic way he described things just really entertained me. Why I don't know but it did. As for Haruhi, I just loved her spontaniousness. You can never tell what she's going to do next.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost OC WindForce 2X review -
Overclocking the graphics card
Overclocking The Graphics Card
As most of you know, with most video cards you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. You can do this at two levels, namely tweaking by enabling registry or BIOS hacks, or very simply to tamper with Image Quality. And then there is overclocking, which will give you the best possible results by far.
What do we need?
One of the best tools for overclocking NVIDIA and ATI videocards is our own AfterBurner which will work with 90% of the graphics cards out there. We can really recommend it, download here.
Where should we go?
Overclocking: By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second. It sounds hard, but it really can be done in less than a few minutes. I always tend to recommend to novice users and beginners, to not increase the frequency any higher than 5% on the core and memory clock. Example: If your card runs at 600 MHz (which is pretty common these days) then I suggest that you don't increase the frequency any higher than 30 to 50 MHz.
More advanced users push the frequency often way higher. Usually when your 3D graphics start to show artifacts such as white dots ("snow"), you should back down 10-15 MHz and leave it at that. Usually when you are overclocking too hard, it'll start to show artifacts, empty polygons or it will even freeze. Carefully find that limit and then back down at least 20 MHz from the moment you notice an artifact. Look carefully and observe well. I really wouldn't know why you need to overclock today's tested card anyway, but we'll still show it.
All in all... do it at your own risk.
|This sample
|Core Clock: 980 MHz
|Core Clock: 1033 MHz
|Core Clock: 1132MHz
|Boost Clock: 1033 MHz
|Boost Clock:1098 MHz
|Boost Clock: ~1265MHz
|Memory Clock: 6008 MHz
|Memory Clock: 6008 MHz
|Memory Clock: 6696 Mhz
Now then, overclocking did get more complicated as increasing the Boost functionality has an effect on voltage and thus power consumption which effects the maximum allowed board power and so on. So really it is a matter of trial and error and finding your preferred or maximum balance in terms of extra performance versus noise levels.
We found a very sweet tweak that will bring your boost frequency towards 1267 MHz stable, it will fluctuate depending on power draw / limits. Feel free to try our settings yourself. We applied:
- Power Target 110%
- GPU clock +98 MHz
- Memory clock +350 MHz
- Fan control RPM default
With the physical board power limit you are going see all card roughly ending at this overclock and boost frequency. For the memory we ended at 6696 MHz. At this stage the cooler RPM was set at default which kept the noise levels under control at 39 DBa and thus at silent noise levels.
We now have a hint extra performance at our hands on top of the factory overclock, have a peek at the results when overclocked.
For all overclocked games above we have used the very same image quality settings as shown before. Overall we have been able to get another 10% performance out of those graphics card.
In this review we check out the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 WindForce 2X. This product is slightly cheaper opposed to the G1 gaming version, it remains among the most silent of all the cards we tested. T...

an alternative suggestion to davenport grey
oopsie913March 19, 2012
made a big mistake on my bedrooms walls. Will keep the litchfield grey ceiling and white dove crown color but the davenport tan is just too muddy looking against the furniture in there and I think I need to go with more a gray toned brown. this davenport tan (benjamin moore) seems a bit olive. Can you suggest a similar depth color but one which will make my antique furniture stand out better? I had thought cabot trail but im still on the fence. thank you thank you for ANY IDEAS

I have simply loved writing the advent calendar posts. These have been huge journalling prompts and have encouraged me to write and think about times past. They have also highlighted to me the questions that I wish I had asked.
I have though not managed to keep to schedule, which is personally irritating to me and what subjects I have not posted on as yet will be posted on during the next few days. Alas, work has been the culprit this year and I have certainly lost my work - home life balence which will be recovered for 2011.

Mortgage Bankers Association. A Bunch of Whiny Bitches?
So in the Wall Street Journal the Mortgage Bankers Association answered a op-ed about the need for bankruptcy mortgage modifications with the following response. In "Loan Modification Can Stop the Foreclosure Crisis" (op-ed, Jan. 30), Rep. John Conyers shortsightedly calls for allowing unelected bankruptcy judges to unilaterally modify mortgage contracts to help keep borrowers out of foreclosure. Mr. Conyers talks ... Read More »

Can anybody explain to me why the white resigned her? (in the last move)
36.Kb1 Re8 37.Rc2 Re1+ 38.Rc1 Re2
Sorry I'm like a very begginer 2 questions in this part why 37 Rc2
and what if the king moves to a1?
...Re8 threatens ...Re1+ (also if White plays Ka1). White plays Rc2 to answer ...Re1+ with Rc1 (impossible if White plays Ka1, that's why duck gave the more interesting Kb1 variation).
If 36. Ka1 it's mate in 8, if 37. Ka1 it's mate in 2.
Rc2 blocks mate after Re1 white goes Rc1.
After 36...Re8, Black threatens Re1#. 36.Kb1 and 37.Rc2 is the only way to prevent it (letting aside Queen/Rook sacrifices to delay checkmate).
Thanks for the explaination guys I get it now :)

The present invention relates to packaging for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to packaging of MEMS devices in flip-chip bonded geometry to provide hermetic seals for the MEMS devices.
2. Description of the Related Art
MEMS devices have become ubiquitous in the semiconductor industry and are used in hybrid electrical and mechanical functions that are necessary in many electronic and electro-optical systems. Packaging MEMS devices in such systems is in general a costly process. Because mechanical motion is an essential part of the MEMS function, a carefully designed space for the motion is needed in order for the MEMS device to operate reliably. Conventional packaging techniques used for CMOS electronics are performed after the CMOS devices are appropriately protected using proper passivation material. Such passivation procedure protects the devices from the packaging processes that are usually mechanically and chemically harsh. After device passivation, packaging is performed by injecting either molten plastic or epoxy over the CMOS chip. Since the CMOS function relies purely on the electronic properties of silicon, such a packaging process does not interfere with device performance. However, these packaging techniques usually involve treatment of semiconductor chips using a fluid, and are therefore not compatible with MEMS device operation. For this reason, expensive ceramic packaging has usually been chosen over cost-effective plastic molded packages for MEMS devices.
Most MEMS devices need to operate in a controlled environment to achieve optimum device performance and reliability. Some examples of controlled environments include controlled pressure (vacuum), controlled humidity, and controlled chemical (typically a special gas) environments. Packaging MEMS devices cost-effectively under these conditions is desired in the art, but due to the complexities and sensitivities associated with operation environments of MEMS devices it is often a difficult or impractical task.
It is also essential that such cost-effective MEMS packaging technology be compatible with CMOS packaging technology. This is important because CMOS technology is already mature and commercially available. Moreover, the need to integrate MEMS devices with CMOS technology is becoming increasingly important in order to add functionality to the CMOS chip that simple CMOS devices cannot provide, and to provide control of MEMS devices using CMOS integrated circuits. Most CMOS packaging techniques wherein wet chemistry and high-pressure fluid flows are used, however, are detrimental to MEMS devices. Thus, current CMOS packaging techniques will not adequately protect the MEMS devices during the packaging process.
Accordingly, there is a long-felt, but unresolved need in the art for MEMS packaging techniques which hermetically seal the MEMS devices so that they can effectively be incorporated in CMOS and other hybrid circuits. The packages should be cost-effective and ensure that electrical connections to or with the MEMS devices can be achieved without breaching the integrity of the package. Moreover, such packages should be easily integratable with current semiconductor fabrication processes and be compatible with conventional CMOS packaging methods.
The present invention provides a novel packaging technique that enables conventional CMOS packaging procedures be used to package MEMS devices. It also provides means to control the operation environment of the MEMS devices at the same time. The inventive packages produce a protected cavity around the MEMS devices which is created by a a flip-chip bonding process. In a preferred embodiment, a firewall is fabricated on a first substrate around the MEMS device to enclose the MEMS device within the cavity bounded by the firewall. Another substrate is then flip-chip bonded to the first substrate that holds the MEMS device. This second substrate may hold other MEMS devices to complete the structure or functionality of the overall hybrid circuit, may hold CMOS electronics to control the MEMS device(s) on the first and/or second substrate, or may serve purely as a mechanical �cover� of the MEMS device firewall. A gap between the two substrates is accurately controlled by the height of the firewall itself, by spacers of known height, or with spacers in conjunction with the height of the firewall. The spacers can be fabricated independently on the substrate, in which case they will not form a portion of the firewall per se. In a preferred embodiment, the cavity is hermetic, which means that the cavity is sealed against the environment of the package to protect the MEMS device from any deleterious conditions found or present in the environment of the package.
Upon flip-chip bonding of the two substrates, the firewall seals off the space immediately around the MEMS device(s). At the same time, mechanical support and integrity is provided for the package by the bonded substrates through appropriate bonding techniques. In still a further preferred embodiment, the hermetic firewall itself provides the mechanical support for the package. Still more preferably, independent structures are provided to the package to give the package its additional mechanical support. Once the cavity has been created by the firewall and the MEMS device is protected accordingly, the hybrid chip containing the MEMS device in its package can be further packaged using conventional CMOS packaging technology.
The inventive packages for MEMS devices are simple to implement and can easily be performed with conventional CMOS packaging technology. Moreover, packages provided in accordance with the present invention may hermetically seal MEMS devices from deleterious effects found in a packaging environment which could damage the MEMS devices. Thus, the packages disclosed and claimed herein efficiently protect MEMS devices so that these devices can function robustly when in use.
These and other features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims. It should be further understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale and that, unless otherwise indicated, they are merely intended to conceptually illustrate the structures and procedures described herein.
In the drawings, wherein like reference numerals identify similar elements throughout the several views:
FIG. 1 is a schematic, cross-sectional view of a hermetic firewall package for enclosing MEMS devices in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an elevated perspective view of a hermetic firewall MEMS package wherein the firewall serves as a spacer while mechanical support is provided by solder bumps outside of the firewall;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a hermetic firewall MEMS package of the invention wherein the firewall includes a ring-shaped solder seal that provides the mechanical support and spacers are provided separately;
FIGS. 4a-c depict a schematic process of solder bump or ring-shaped solder seal; and
FIG. 5 is an elevated perspective view of a hermetic firewall MEMS package of the invention wherein a double-walled structure is implemented and wherein an inner wall provides the MEMS sealed environment while an outer wall includes a ring-shaped solder seal that provides a second hermetic seal and mechanical support for the package.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 depicts a schematic cross-sectional view of the hermetic firewall structure of the present invention identified by the general reference numeral 10. The package 10 comprises a cavity 20 for enclosing a MEMS device 25 or several MEMS devices, depending on the particular hybrid circuit application in which the MEMS device(s) will be integrated. In a preferred embodiment, a firewall 30 is fabricated on one or both substrates 40 and 70 on one of which the MEMS device is fabricated. The firewall 30 includes a top surface 50 and a bottom surface 60. The package 10 further comprises a second substrate 70 which is bonded to the first substrate through the firewall 30 formed on substrate 40. The second substrate 70 contains a mating seal to the firewall 30, which completes the firewall structure. Preferably, the second substrate is �flip-chip� bonded to substrate 40, using a suitable bonding technique. A preferred bonding technique is a heat-based process wherein a material such as a metal or plastic resin is placed between two parts to be welded together and heated to melt or soften the material. When the material thereafter hardens, a strong, resilient seal is created between the two pieces. Substrates 40, 70 are conventional substrates used to fabricate CMOS electronic devices. Such substrates usually comprise silicon, although it will be recognized by those skilled in the art that the substrates may, for example, comprise GaAs, Ge or other semiconductor materials, or insulating materials such as quartz, alumina, or sapphire. For ease of description hereinbelow but without intending to limit the invention, it will be assumed that the substrates are silicon substrates.
The firewall 30 is fabricated around the MEMS device 25, and may be fabricated on either of the substrates 40, 70. The height of the firewall 30 can be precisely controlled to thereby control the spacing between the two substrates. For some MEMS devices, the spacing may be an integral part of the MEMS device function, while in others it has to be simply large enough to accommodate the MEMS devices in the cavity 20. A sealing material is employed atop the firewall 30 to produce a hermetic seal 80 for the cavity 20. The sealing material is preferably a thin film metal material and is placed on at least a portion of the top 50 of firewall 30 to seal the cavity 20 when the second substrate 70 is flip-chip bonded to first substrate 40. During the flip-chip bonding process, the welding materials on both sides of the substrates are heated and pressed together, resulting in a tight hermetic seal between the flip-chip bonded substrates 40, 70. After the flip-chip bonding process, cavity 20 is bounded and formed by the firewall 30 and substrates 40, 70 and encloses a small space around the MEMS device 25. This leaves the MEMS device 25 intact and protected from subsequent packaging processes performed outside cavity 20, which might involve fluid treatment that have deleterious effects on the MEMS device 25.
The hermetic firewalls of the present invention can be fabricated using the same process that is employed for fabricating MEMS devices. In an example of MEMS devices fabricated using silicon surface micromachining technology, the firewalls may be made up of alternating stacks of polycrystalline silicon and silicon dioxide, encapsulated by polycrystalline silicon. Another alternative is to use a material that is deposited or spin-coated and patterned on a substrate using a lithography technique. Some examples include silicon nitride, polyimide and metal. In all cases, the material comprising the firewall 30 must have the desired chemical and mechanical strength to create a hermetic seal between the substrates and the firewall and to protect the MEMS device 25. Using such techniques, the height of the walls can be defined precisely.
In a preferred embodiment depicted in FIG. 2, a hermetic seal 80 between the firewalls on first and second substrates can be formed by evaporating a soft metal such as gold, silver, or their alloys onto the top of firewall 30, and pressing down on the metal surface in a heated environment. The heated environment may be created during the flip-chip bonding process of the first substrate to the second substrate itself, or by an independent heating or soldering process known to those skilled in the art. However, creating such a seal 80 usually does not provide enough mechanical strength to hold the substrates together and to provide mechanical integrity to the package 10. A stronger mechanical seal may be achieved using stronger solder, which is used in conventional flip-chip bonded packaging techniques. When it is desired to use additional solder to provide a stronger mechanical support, a plurality of solder bumps 90 can be bonded to the first substrate 40 which will provide mechanical support and integrity to the package, when the second substrate (not shown in FIG. 2) is flip-chip bonded to the first substrate. Alternately, the solder bumps 90 may be bonded to the second substrate which is simply a matter of design choice.
Of critical importance in the fabrication of packages for MEMS devices in accordance with the present invention is that the electrical connection to the MEMS device 25 with the rest of the circuit must traverse firewall 30 without breaching the hermatic seal enclosing the cavity 20. In a preferred embodiment, electrical leads 100 connecting the MEMS device 25 to the rest of the circuit are inserted through firewall 30 during the MEMS fabrication process. In this case, for example, the leads can be made up of heavily doped conductive polycrystalline silicon, encapsulated by silicon dioxide layers to achieve electrical isolation. In another preferred embodiment, the electrical leads 100 can be placed underneath the firewall. Alternatively, leads 100 may be secured to the second substrate 70 that contains CMOS circuitry, for example, thereby alleviating the need to breach or otherwise corrupt the firewall 30 by requiring the leads 100 to physically traverse therethrough. In this case, vertical electrical connection between the MEMS device 25 on substrate 40 and the electrical leads on substrate 70 has to be fabricated. Such connection can easily be achieved by means of solder bumps or metallizing independent spacers 120 (FIG. 3).
In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the firewall 30 comprises stacks of poly-silicon and silicon dioxide layers. The firewall 30 itself also serves as a spacer for cavity 20 to control the gap between the two substrates 40 and 70 so that cavity 20 has a height defined by the height of firewall 30. Mechanical strength is provided by independent solder bumps 90 placed outside the firewall 30. The solder bumps 90 may be placed at any convenient location on either or both of substrates 40, 70. The electrical leads 100 preferably comprise poly-silicon surrounded by silicon dioxide layers, encapsulated by another layer of poly-silicon.
FIG. 3 depicts yet another preferred embodiment of the package 10 of the present invention having a hermetic firewall 30. A metal film as described above is evaporated on top 50 of the firewall structure and will form the hermetic seal 80 for the cavity 20. The solder material is deposited on top 50 of firewall 30 to produce a solder seal 110 for cavity 20. When the solder seal 110 is made, it provides both the hermeticity and mechanical strength necessary for the flip-chip bonding process to produce a sturdy, strong hermetic package. Independent spacers 120 may also be provided to accurately define the required gap or spacing between the substrates. Spacers 120 may be fabricated on either or both of substrates 40, 70 and may be placed at arbitrary locations thereon.
The process of solder bump or ring-shaped solder seal is schematically shown in FIGS. 4a-4 c. In all preferred embodiments utilizing solder bump or ring-shaped solder seal bonding, the height of the spacers 120 are intentionally made higher than the solder bumps. For the solder bump preparation, one can deposit solder 75 onto a larger footprint than metal pad, over a dielectric layer 85 that the solder does not wet (FIG. 4a). Upon heating, the surface tension will increase the solder bump 90 height and decrease its footprint (FIG. 4b). This mechanism enables the solder bumps 90 to make contact to the mating metal pad 95 on the other substrate. Upon cooling, the solder shrinks and actively pulls the two substrates together (FIG. 4c). This process guarantees an intimate connection between the spacers, and precise separation between the two substrates.
One disadvantage of the embodiment of FIG. 3 is that if any flux material (either in the gas phase or the liquid phase) is necessary for soldering, the MEMS device 25 will be exposed to this environment. This might not be detrimental to MEMS device 25 if the proper flux is used, but will limit the ability to provide a controlled environment for the MEMS device.
FIG. 5 depicts still another preferred embodiment of the package 110 containing a hermetic firewall of the present invention. In this embodiment, a double-walled firewall structure is fabricated on either substrate 40, 70. The inner wall 130 is similar to that of FIG. 1 wherein metal layers 80 are eposited on the top 50 of firewall 30, and provide the appropriate spacing for cavity 20. An outer wall 140 is similar to the firewall 30 of FIG. 3 wherein a layer of solder material 110 is deposited on the top 50 of firewall 30. The mechanical strength for the resulting package is provided by the outer wall 140. In this embodiment, the inner wall 130 is bonded to either substrate 40, 70 with a �tack� bond between two metal layers 80 that is created by applying pressure between the two substrates at a low temperature as compared to the melting temperature of the solder of seal 110. When this process is accomplished in a controlled environment, the space encapsulated by the inner wall 130 maintains this environment and is sealed off. After the low-temperature tack bonding is accomplished, it is possible to simply heat up the substrate 40 or 70 to a temperature sufficient to melt the solder to thereby form the solder bond on outer wall 140. The double-walled firewall of FIG. 4 thus advantageously protects MEMS device 25 from the deleterious effects of the soldering process.
The environment within the cavity defined by the firewall can be controlled by performing the flip-chip bonding process under the desired environment. Such desired environment may include, for example, controlled pressure, controlled humidity, and controlled gas chemistries. The cavity 20 created by this flip-chip bonding process protects the MEMS devices, so that the flip-chip bonded substrates can now be further packaged using conventional packaging techniques that might otherwise be detrimental to the MEMS devices.

Now Open: Shure's Fantastic Scholastic Competition
NILES, IL, October 3, 2008 â Open to university and college students nationwide, the registration for Shure's fifth annual "Fantastic Scholastic" recording competition will remain open until October 17, 2008. A random drawing on or about October 22, 2008, will determine the ten competing schools, each of which will receive a standardized "mic locker" from Shure that must be used to complete every recording project submitted.
The names of registrants chosen as contestants in the random drawing will be posted on Shure's website on or around October 24, 2008. Dedicated mic lockers will then be sent out and must be returned no later than February 2, 2009. Announcement of the Grand Prize, Runner-Up, and Honorable Mention Prize winners will take place on or around April 10, 2009.
Competing teams from each school are required to record and mix an original piece of music. Their submission will be judged by a panel of industry professionals who will evaluate the recordings based upon their overall fidelity, clarity, sonic balance, and creativity in selection and placement of the microphones. Previous judges have included Dave Hewitt, Joe Barresi, Mike Fraser, Elliott Scheiner, and Al Schmitt.
"When we first started this contest four years ago, I donât think any of us really knew what we were in for," said Shure Market Development Specialist Dave Mendez, the contest coordinator. "The response from the students, faculty, and our judges has been overwhelmingly positive and weâve seen significant growth and interest in the contest from year to year. Weâre thrilled to be able to reward more schools by adding more prizes. This contest is a great way for us to support students and teachers of recording education, and weâre looking forward to another successful competition in 2009."
