The teaching of kindness, compassion and empathy.
Should our children be taught, without using religion, a defined feeling or emotion in having compassion, empathy and extending kindness onto others? Education to stimulate the mind is great, but stimulate something within their hearts. Children today don't seem to place the shoes of others onto their own feet. I fear we are raising a very unsocial and self motivated, self gratifying generation of children. What are your thoughts?

Jul 21 2013: Pre-K is teaching children to play well with others, somewhere along the way as they grow, they get a slice of their reality, for many kids, it's all about revenge. Revenge, anger, resentment for having been born. What an awful way for a child to grow up. There are a vast number of reasons why children so young have low self-esteem. The have lack of role models, lack of funds, lack of concern, lack of food, lack of feeling loved. We are the fortunate ones contributing to society. We are on TEDI But what about the others, the have-nots. Those that don't get heard. Isn't there a reason behind wayward children in our society. Children who's parents should have never had children. I am not asking about how fortunate we are, I am asking to assist in understanding of the less fortunate child and what may help them. The one that is in detention, or a gang or eventually juvenile prison. If we teach what is not in the home, perhaps a few more will have a better chance to be of benefit to society rather than a burden. The unwanted child learns only to be unwanted.
Jul 24 2013: Leslie, I love your insight on this. I always felt like I was a burden to my mother, still do at the age of 50. I had my son when I was only 19 years old and was determined, if nothing else, to make him know how much he was wanted, loved and valued, still do at the age of 30. He has become an independent, confident and caring young man who has also achieved great things academically. He has seen his mother vulnerable, sick, struggling and broke, but throughout all of it, I loved him to the full capacity that I possibly could. He learned to never take anything for granted, to respect and appreciate all that he had, whatever little it was. Things never came first, time spent together was our value. So, even though we were not the haves, or the fortunate ones, we were truly the winners.

When Eric Cavalieri moved his business to at the old SAAB and BMW dealership on North State Road in Briarcliff Manor, he wound up with an enormous space that used to be the showroom for the car dealerships. Not being in the car sales side of the auto industry, he had the challenge of deciding not to do with the space and how could he turn it into an income-producing space.
Enter slot car racing, a popular sport in Westchester—and until now, a sport dominated by Elmsford Raceway on Route 9A. Cavalieri's new Winner's Circle Raceway in Briarcliff Manor has enhanced the slot car experience by opening its doors.
Cavalieri is ready to excite and challenge experienced race car enthusiasts and novice racers alike. The level of detail on his cars makes one feel like a driver in the Indianapolis 500.
"I'm looking to create a family 'go-to' spot for our community and surrounding neighborhoods," he explained in an email. "We are bringing back the era of 'interactive' hobbies, instead of watching tv, playing video games or spending hours on the internet."
Winner's Circle Raceway is a 115-foot-long, eight-lane Carrera Race Track. With a computer controlled timing system and a 25-foot-long suspension bridge, Tappan Zee Bridge, look out! Each lane has the ability to be regulated independently of the others, so an inexperienced racer can have the power modified so his car stays on the track, without affecting the other racers. This unique ability to regulate an individual track adds to the fun and excitement of the racing experience, allowing the car to stay on the track instead of flying off at every corner. As the racer gains experience, the power to the car can be increased, requiring another level of skill to keep the car on the track, all the way up to full power where even the most experienced racers will be challenged on this track.
The raceway offers a track that will accommodate four different sizes of racing cars—HO, 1/43rd,1/32nd and 1/24th scale. The track is available during the week and on weekends for track time that starts at 15 minutes, (while you wait for your car to be washed), 30 minutes, (while you wait for your car to be detailed) or an hour (while you wait for your car to have an oil change at ). You can bring your own car to the track or use one of the cars available for rent.
Track time is also available for parties and corporate events. Winner's Circle Raceway also offers a mobile track that can come to you, complete with pit crew, for your home or corporate event.

Know the Laws: North Carolina
UPDATED October 19, 2012
Please consider getting help from an organization in your area before proceeding with court action. To find an organization, please go to the Where to Find Help tab at the top of this page.
The steps of a custody case will depend on the particulars of your case. To find out what the process will be like for you, please talk to a lawyer in your area. Some general information is below.
Step 1: File the custody complaint (petition) in court.
In order to start a custody case, you need to file a custody complaint with the court in the county where the parent or the child resides or in the county where the child is physically present.* There are other forms that need to be filed with the complaint so please verify with the clerk of courts that you have all the forms you need. Also, there is a filing fee to start the custody case. If you cannot afford the fee, you can fill out a form titled "Petition to Sue as an Indigent" and request that the court waive the filing fee for you. These forms should be available at the courthouse.
Step 2: Get the custody papers served on the abuser.
After you have filed the paperwork and paid the fee to start a custody case (or received a fee waiver), you will have to make sure that the defendant is served with copies of the documents you have filed. Serving the defendant means giving the defendant copies of the documents you have filed. To do this, the defendant can be served personally by the sheriff or other law enforcement officer, a private process server, or anyone who is not a party and is at least 21 years of age. You cannot serve the papers yourself. If a defendant is represented by an attorney, the defendant may also consent to service on his attorney in what is known as an "acceptance of service." In this case, the papers may be served either on the defendant or on his or her attorney, on the defendant's behalf. If the defendant lives out of state or if you cannot find the defendant, you should consult with an attorney to discuss other ways in which you can have the defendant served with the custody papers.
Step 3: Parenting classes and mediation
Once you start a custody case, many counties in North Carolina require that you and the defendant attend a parenting education class before going forward with your case. You and the other parent will take the parenting classes separately. Each county handles the parenting classes differently. To find out about parenting education in your county, consult with the court clerk at the courthouse.
Additionally, counties in North Carolina that offer mediation require that before seeing a judge you try to resolve your case by mediation.* Mediation is an opportunity to resolve a case without going to court and does not cost you anything. In counties where mediation is required, somebody from the court will sit down with you and the defendant to try to work out an agreement relating to custody and visitation. If your mediation is successful, your custody and mediation agreement will be written out and approved by a judge, thus becoming a court order. However, if you are a domestic violence victim, mediation may not be required. The court can waive mediation if you can show that domestic violence has occurred between you and the other parent.**
If you have an attorney, you can choose to have your attorney help you with the mediation process. For more information, please see When can I be excused from mediation? What if I am a victim of domestic violence?
* NCGS § 50-13(b)
** NCGS § 50-13.1(c)
Step 4: Appear in front of the judge.
If the mediation is not successful or if mediation is not required due to domestic violence, your custody case will then go to trial before a judge. At trial, both you and the other parent have the right to present evidence (such as your own testimony, witnesses' testimony, relevant documents such as police reports or medical records that could prove domestic violence, etc). The judge will consider the evidence submitted by you and the other parent and make a decision about who should have custody, what type of custody that person should have, and what type of visitation the non-custodial parent should have.* Having a lawyer represent you at trial is generally best. Go to our NC Finding a Lawyer page for links to free and paid lawyers.
* NCGS §50-13.1(b)
In counties in which mediation is offered, mediation is required unless a judge or other officer of the court decides that you do not have to attend. To request a waiver of mediation, you can fill out a form called "Motion and Order for Waiver of Mediation." There are several reasons for which the judge could grant the waiver. Here are some examples, but other reasons may be considered as well:
No. Everything that is said by the parties in the mediation proceeding is confidential. This means that neither of the parties involved in the mediation nor the mediator will be allowed to testify to the judge about what was said in the proceeding. The exception to this rule, however, is if an admission of a crime, fraud or abuse of a child is made.
Note: The mediator may also interview the child or other people to help evaluate the needs of the child. The same confidentiality rules apply to those interviews.*
* NCGS § 50-13.1(e) & (f)
Custody is based on what the judge believes is in the best interest of the child. The judge will consider all available evidence and all relevant factors such as any special needs of the child, the quality of care the child is receiving, the child's educational performance, the child's involvement in extracurricular activities, and the child's physical and emotional state.
The judge will also examine both parents' ability to care for the child, employment history, living situation, substance abuse issues, mental health issues, and dating relationships. The judge may also ask to hear from people who have information about either parent's parenting abilities or information about the child.
Lastly, if the judge finds that domestic violence has occurred, the judge must enter an order that best protects the children who were the victims of domestic violence.* The factors the judge must consider are the same as they would be if you were filing for temporary custody as part of a DVPO. Those factors are spelled out here: Can I get temporary custody if I have a restraining order against the other parent (DVPO)?
When you go to court, you want to be prepared with as much information as possible about yourself, the other parent, and your child. In order to show the judge that you deserve custody of your child, it is important that you have a good knowledge of your child's interests, abilities, and care.
Once the trial is over, the judge will sometimes make his or her decision verbally while still in the courtroom. However, sometimes the judge will not make a decision right away; rather he or she may issue a written decision on a later date. In either case, the judge will eventually issue a written decision. This decision is called an order. You must comply with the order as it is written or you could be "held in contempt of court." When a judge holds someone in contempt of court, the judge is punishing that person for not doing what the court said to do.
If you are confused about anything in the order, ask the judge to explain the terms of the order.
You do not need a lawyer to file for custody. However, custody cases are often complicated, and a lawyer can help you through it. It also may be difficult for you to file the proper paperwork without the help of a lawyer. Also, if the other parent has a lawyer, it will be particularly helpful if you have a lawyer as well.
You can talk to or get a lawyer at any time during the course of your custody case, but getting a lawyer at the last minute usually will not be grounds for postponing your case. Also, many lawyers will not take a custody case at the last minute so it is best to begin your search for a lawyer as soon as you know that there will be a court case.
If you decide to represent yourself (known as being "pro se") in a custody case, some counties have a pro se self-serve center where you can get the forms that you will need to file. Wake County has such a center, so does Mecklenburg and a few others. To find out if your courthouse has a pro se self-serve center, you can call your local courthouse. Go to NC Courthouse Locations to find the court in your county. You can also get the forms from your local Legal Aid of North Carolina.
The general rule is that North Carolina state courts have authority (power) to hear a custody case if North Carolina is considered your child's "home state." A child's "home state" is the state where the child has most recently lived with a parent or a person acting as a parent for at least six consecutive months. In the case of a child less than six months old, the "home state" is the state where the child has lived from birth. (Temporary absence from the state does not change anything.)
If you and your child recently moved to a new state, generally you cannot file for custody in that new state until you have lived there for at least six months. Until then, either you or the other parent can start a custody action in the state in which your child most recently lived for at least six months. There is an exception to this rule – if you or the child or a sibling of the child is in danger, you may be able to file for temporary emergency custody in NC even if you have been in NC for less than 6 months. See Can I get temporary emergency custody? for more information.
Example: If a family has lived in NC for the past year, NC is the home state. If the same family lived in NC for one year and then one parent moved to SC with the children and filed in SC after living there for only four months, NC is still the home state.
There are exceptions to the home state rule. In some cases, you can file for custody in a state where the children and at least one parent have "significant connections" to the state. Usually, however, you can only do this if there is no home state or if the home state has agreed to let another state decide the case.* This can be complicated, and if you think this applies to your situation, please talk to a lawyer in both states about this.
For a list of legal resources, please see our NC Finding a Lawyer page.

"American Idol" hasn't had much to cheer about the past year. Lackluster contestants and declining ratings don't make great press releases.
But the show released one yesterday touting the 26,000 people who showed up for auditions in Nashville (16,000, see photo to the right) and Milwaukee (10,000). Last year, a bit more than 9,000 showed up to Atlanta.
"The numbers of people turning up to the American Idol auditions in Nashville and Milwaukee have been incredible," said show creator Simon Fuller, in a release. "These attendance figures are significantly up on the last few years, and there is clearly renewed excitement and interest in the show, which is great to see."
Perhaps the change in age requirement to 15 from 16 drew more people. (The upper end remains 28.) The show producers are now readying New Orleans as the next audition site for season ten.
The judges – Randy Jackson, Ellen DeGeneres, Kara DioGuardi and a person to be named later – are expected to show up at the respective cities in September once these thousands of contestants are pared to a few hundred.
As I've noted earlier, I'm not sure if these are actually numbers of people who try out or were the number of people who showed up, including friends and family.

Of course, with 15 year-olds able to audition, there had to be at least one adult driver to take them. So that would automatically increase the number of people showing up.
July 23rd, 2010

And I wonder how many show up hoping to be seen on TV yelling "I'm the next American Idol!"
July 23rd, 2010

"at least one adult driver"…per 15-year old, I guess.
If anybody is interested, posted comments about "Salt" and "Ramona and Bezus" at very end of previous thread.

Mercedes, thanks for the review.
Also, regarding the higher turnout: it could also be the economy. I mean, if I had the time to just go off, I'd try to audition. Provided I could sing…

kcfan, who says you have to be able to sing? Non-singers seem to get more face time that the ones who can hit a note.

Rocker Bret Michaels Busted for Pot, Other Drugs on Tour Bus
Indiana police found marijuana and other unidentified controlled substances on rocker Bret Michaels' tour buses, The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel reported Friday.
Indiana police found marijuana and other unidentified controlled substances on rocker Bret Michaels' tour buses, The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel reported Friday.
Two tour buses, one of which carried the rock star, were pulled over in DeKalb County, northeast Indiana, before midnight local time Wednesday.
Police stopped the caravan because a trailer connected to one of the buses did not have a license plate light.
SLIDESHOW: Bret Michaels' Rock Star Career
Officers launched a drug search on the first bus after narcotics-detection dogs reportedly began acting strangely, The DeKalb Star reported.
Police then searched the second bus, where Michaels was a passenger, and also found illegal drugs. The veteran rocker was reportedly very cooperative in allowing the searches.
Police made no arrests but charges have been forwarded to the DeKalb County Prosecutor's Office. Both buses were allowed to continued.
Michaels, former frontman of rock band Poison and the 2010 winner of the "Celebrity Apprentice 3," is currently on his "Roses & Thorns" tour in the U.S.
The 47-year-old recently overcame a brain aneurysm and a "warning stroke" earlier in 2010.

Wait, was anyone on the planet surprised that his bus would contain marijuana?
My problem with Bret is that he is trying too hard. It would be all about him, and we already have enough of that.
July 23rd, 2010
4:37 pm
Other than Bret… no one. And he was only surprised they pulled the bus over! (Couldn't he have flushed it?)
July 23rd, 2010
4:50 pm
Who would search his bus, don't they know he had a brain aneurysm?
That was probably his argument.
July 23rd, 2010
4:51 pm
Well folks.. it's Friday afternoon.. the A/C in the offices has been off/on all day (seems off at the moment) – so I'm going to bug out a couple of minutes early.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

In regards to previous posts about the # showing up in Nashville, I understand from newspaper accounts(in Nashville) that was based on the number of wristbands handed out. There were 2 days(Thur and Fri) set aside for that and then those people had to show up starting early Sat. AM to actually audition. Heard it went into Sunday also. At least they came to N'ville this time, maybe the talent will actually improve. The town is loaded, and YES, LOTS OF THE NEW COUNTRY STARS ARE FROM GEORGIA!!!!!!! The only thing there is more of in NashVegas than country music star wanna-bees is country music writer wanna-bees!!!!

American Idol is going to be horrible without Simon. I Predict that they will loose rating because half the audience watched just for his rude (yet funny) comments.
July 23rd, 2010
5:18 pm
I'm sure that was medical marijuana.
July 23rd, 2010
6:35 pm
"And he was only surprised they pulled the bus over! (Couldn't he have flushed it?)" – Rickster, 4:37pm
Hey, Rickster, it's a tour bus. That means when you flush, the substance just goes into a 'septic' tank to be emptied later. It's still there on the bus, so the drug dogs would still alert to it. (Might be a bit harder for the officers to find it, though!)
July 23rd, 2010
6:41 pm
Really not looking forward to all the 15 year old "singers" this up-coming season! Just means a greater multitude of tuneless prospects who have been convinced by Grandma and Auntie they they sound great!
I bet Simon feels he got out just in time.
July 23rd, 2010
6:42 pm
Make that "THAT they sound great."
July 24th, 2010

Tons of 15 year olds could outsing Lee, Casey, and smiling tim.

@I-Ninjakicksbackvectrex – Try again 'cause that's not really a good argument for lowering the audition age!
July 24th, 2010

Good Morning and Good Afternoon… Atanta is beyond hot. 113 in the sun and no rain ever again.
July 24th, 2010
1:50 pm
Remember, Mercedes, …it's not the heat, it's the humidity. Right?!
I love all those people who tout Arizona, Nevada, etc. with "It's a DRY heat." Yeah, right! So is a CONVECTION OVEN!
July 26th, 2010
10:00 pm
Has anyone heard or does anyone have any speculations on what type of audition the MySpace will be? Do you think it's any shot al all for someone to get a chance? Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to one of the locations because they were such a far distance.

Paramount began trumpeting Hayden as both "the Most Beautiful Man in the Movies" and "the Beautiful Blond Viking God," but his career ground to a halt when he joined the Marines to serve in World War II, resulting in a five-year absence from the screen. Upon returning from duty, he continued acting with Blaze of Noon, but after half a decade away from the screen, his career stalled, and apart from a brief appearance later that year in Variety Girl, no other offers came his way for some time. Finally, in 1949, Hayden resurfaced in a John Wayne Western, El Paso, and a film noir, Manhandled. The following year, he starred in John Huston's classic noir The Asphalt Jungle, portraying an ill-fated small-time hood -- a career-defining role. Still, he spent the majority of the early decade in a variety of other genre outings, many of them Westerns (including the 1953 Nicholas Ray cult classic Johnny Guitar). In 1956, Hayden teamed for the first time with director Stanley Kubrick, headlining the oft-imitated and widely acclaimed crime story The Killing.
Hayden's career flagged during the years to follow, however. Saddled with a series of lackluster films, he finally left acting in 1958 to return to the sea, and spent the next six years away from Hollywood. In 1963, he even published an autobiography, Wanderer, detailing his ocean adventures as well as his regret for cooperating with the House Un-American Activities Commission during the McCarthy era. Finally, Hayden returned to film in 1964 to reunite with Kubrick on the brilliant satire Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Apart from the television feature Carol for Another Christmas, however, he again quit acting to sail, and did not return prior to 1969's Cipolla Colt. He enjoyed another career resurrection with Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 classic The Godfather, and a year later co-starred in Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye. In 1976, Hayden appeared in Bernardo Bertolucci's Novecento, and also published the historical epic Voyage: A Novel of 1896. After working infrequently over the course of the following decade, he died in Sausalito, CA, on May 23, 1986, at the age of 70. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Is Society to Blame When a Mother Kills Her Children?
Dr. Wendy Walsh: Twenty-nine-year-old South Carolina mother Shaquan Duley, accused of suffocating her two toddler boys on August 15 and then strapping their bodies into car seats and pushing her car into a river, was certainly desperate. And while the media and public vilify her for committing such heinous crimes, there's a piece of me that feels deep sympathy. I wonder how much we can blame ourselves, as partners in her society.
I had a web site about this topic, but I got so much spam I had to shut it. You seem to have a better spam filter!
No Society is not to blame, this mother is.
By offering "Society" as a scapegoat the author clearly does not have a good grasp of the real meaning of personal responsibility.

Yea... what is buffalo dip? Is it related to the sauce on buffalo wings?
I confess I just saw a picture on FB of some blonde I don't know being too friendly with my husband last Saturday... the night he didn't come home.
I confess I really don't want to be a psycho wife and get pissy and paranoid, but I can't help it. :(
I confess I know that if I even hinted that he was being anything more than friendly with her he'd be so offended. He takes loyalty, fidelity and our marriage very seriously.
I confess today is our 4 year anniversary.
I confess that I wish I hadn't ever seen that pictrure.
I was wondering about Buffalo dip too. dish!
:hugs: Erin.
Ugh, Erin, I'm so sorry! :( I had no idea he didn't come home... :hugs:
He came home at 9:30 in the morning... There is an event every year where he gets together with drum core alumni. He was in drum core for 3 years and loved it. So I knew where he was and (mostly) who he was with. I also know who he stayed with. He just never called me to tell me he was crashing at someone's house so I didn't hear from him till 9am. We worked out, but seeing that picture left a more sour taste in my mouth about that night.
I know I am overreacting...
What exactly are they doing in the picture? (not that it matters, but I'm curious)
I confess I am not normally dependent on sweets but DH bought 3 huge slabs of fudge the other day and I cannot stop eating it!
I confess I still cannot get over how smart Josh is...he's watching blue's clues and they are talking about paint and Joe says, we don't have purple paint, what should we do? And Josh said "mix it" :shocker:
I dunno, maybe he has just seen this episode too many times LOL
Thanks ladies. We talked about what happened and he apologized for not calling. Its a trend with him that when he goes out (which isn't often) he doesn't call or answer his phone. Its been a fitght for years. This is the second time this has happened. The first time was when I was 3 days away from having Aidan. :eyeroll: So I thought he had learned his lesson. I thought we were good but seeing that picture made the psycho in me start surfacing. :ohno:
:hugs: Erin. I don't think you're overreacting and you're definitely not a psycho. If it were me, I'd print the picture out and leave it on his desk so he'd see it when he came home.
Ugh, I'm so sorry Erin, that would really upset me too. :hugs:
Erin :hugs::hugs:
I'm overreacting. It was just a surprise to see. He said when I asked him casually that it was the girl his friend (who took the picture) hooked up with that night.
I guess I'm not as secure in myself as I thought I was. :(
Don't be so hard on yourself. I don't know many people that wouldn't be bugged by
something like that. And I think most of the people that would *say* it doesn't bug them...are full of it.
Erin, you weren't overreacting. You know how I feel about the situation. :hugs:
Hey, cock rock is back! :dance:
You guys are awesome :wub: :grouphug:. You can bet your butt if he saw a similar pic of me with a guy he didn't know and I didn't come home that night he'd flip. And I have never NOT trusted him. That's why it was weird I reacted like that.
Ugh, I need a drink now. :laugh:
:laugh: I think you're the only one that gets it.
Oh Erin! I swear, our lives are so similar. I can totally picture Eric doing the exact same thing and totally not seeing anything wrong with it. I don't know if you remember when he rode his bike down to FL for bike week and I didn't want him to go at all. Then he said he'd be back in a few hours, which to him apparently meant "I'll be gone all day." Then he sent me a picture of him posing with a topless woman with gigantic boobs. He thought I would enjoy it because of the novelty of the size of her chest. I was FURIOUS and he just totally didn't get it. Anyway, different but similar.
I confess I'm nervous, anxious, and scared all in one. I've put everything off to last minute again and my to-do list is a mile long.

PG&E unveils a bidirectional vehicle to grid technology for electric-cars
Simbol Materials opens an operation in California to extract lithium, zinc, and other metals for batteries from the discharge of geothermal plants.
Sanyo XX batteries offer good looks, low discharge, and high capacity for demanding electronics.
Sony says the battery has a capacity retention north of 80 percent after 2,000 charge-discharge cycles. Plus, it charges quicker.
Power Japan Plus announced its dual carbon battery technology, which promises longer-lasting and less expensive batteries for electric cars.
An early policy amendment has suggested that video game addicts may be exempt from mandatory military service but so far, no one has qualified for the exemption.
The France-based aircraft maker believes there's a place in the market, not just the R&D lab, for the battery-powered two-seater it showed at the Farnborough airshow.
Last year Kiera Wilmot was busted for simulating a volcano with toilet cleaner and foil. Her record still lists felony arrest.
A bigger battery puts the Ego Power+ a cut above the competition.
Researchers at Virginia Tech have developed a working sugar-powered fuel cell with energy density greater than that of current lithium-ion batteries.

Irish head football coach Charlie Weis addressed the media for the second time this week. He announced, among many topics, that he will turn over the primary play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Mike Haywood. Weis will have the final decision on the type of play to be run during a game.
Weis stressed that he wants to be more approachable to his team, especially the younger players. He cited an example that freshman and sophomores don't know him as well as needed because of the time he spent on other matters during the season.
It basically boils down to Weis increasing his role as head coach and diminishing the day-to-day operation of an offensive play caller.
New coach Jon Tenuta will coach linebackers while defensive coordinator Corwin Brown will coach the secondary. Brian Polian will devote all his time to the special teams with assistance from Weis.
The head coach also announced that Derrell Hand and Bartley Webb will not be able to play in the future due to injury but both will remain at Notre Dame to finish their education.
A new rule passed by the American Football Coaches Association mandates that head coaches may not go on the road to recruit in the spring. Weis will use that time to attend at least 11 meetings of various Notre Dame Alumni Clubs around the nation.

This is the most efficient stove on the planet, period. On a month-long 250 mile hike along the Colorado Trail this past summer it used only 2 1/2 of the canisters. Don't plan on simmering anything though. This is a water boiler, plain and simple. Prepare your meals so that all you have to do is pour boiling water over them and let them soak. Almost all of the packaged and freeze-dried meals available use this technique and with only a little bit of planning and creativity, grocery store components can be cooked this way as well. I gave it four, rather than five stars because it lacks a couple of features I've come to expect: It doesn't have a piezo click-starter. I'm ambivalent about these because every one I've ever had on a backpacking stove has broken within a few days. I always have with me multiple ways to light a stove and on my Jet-Boils I don't even bother to try the piezo. The pot does not mechanically attach to the stove burner. I wish it did because in cold weather I often hold the canister in my warm hands to keep the pressure up.

The coolest place on the internet, according to this tagline.Ask • Archive • FAQ
Former Major League Baseball Players' Association chief Marvin Miller died today, aged 95. A union organizer by nature, Miller became the head of the MLBPA all the way back in 1966, despite never having been involved with baseball as a sport or business before. Over the course of his subsequent 16-year leadership, he won major victories for the players' union, perhaps none more significant than the abolishment of the reserve clause in 1975. In place for a staggering 94 years, the clause stripped players of autonomy in terms of where they played, forcing them to re-up with the same team that employed them the previous year, or stop playing altogether. Nowadays, thanks in large part to Miller, players get to sign where they please — "free agency," as it's called. source
A truly great American. RIP Marvin Miller.

Silicon microphone with integrated MID traces for connection to PCB
Idea: Markus Heerlein, SG-Singapore; Harald Klemenz, SG-Singapore
In hearings aids silicon microphones can be used. Up to now, the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly for silicon microphones is designed in a way that the solder pads are placed in front of the PCB and next to the spout. This requires an increased litz wire length and more space in the housing, because the wires have to be packed away properly. The litz wires are then soldered to the microphone according to the state of the art. However, it is proposed to build out the air volume of the silicon microphone with plastic material. The Molded Interconnect Device (MID) traces can then be laid down and the solder pads can be placed on the back of the PCB. The contact between the solder pads and the PCB can be realized through a flexible PCB. Furthermore, it is proposed to mold one plastic part with two cavities. The cavities are used as a back volume for the silicone microphone. The MID traces can then be laid in any way so that the best connection area to the PCB can be established.
One advantage of the proposed solution is that PCB fits easier to the MID traces in the plastic housing of the microphone. Furthermore, shorter litz wires can be used. This improves the electroacoustics as well as the used space in front of the BTE is minimized.
