This might be a little long, so bear with me!
A number of years ago, a young man who was sometimes a visitor to my house, but not a close friend, killed himself. It was a shock, and very sad, but for some reason I got kind of obsessed with it and went into a deep depression, cried all the time, could hardly eat, etc. My mind kept replaying the last time I had seen this chap, and that picture made me feel terrible. He had started to sit down and tell me something - asked me if I had time to talk. I said "Sure," but then he changed his mind and left shortly after. I didn't really feel guilty, as I had offered to listen, and even tried to encourage him to stay, but the memory was just awful, and wouldn't go away.
This went on for a couple of months, when one day I noticed an ad in a local paper for a clairvoyant medium. While I have an open mind about these things, I've never contacted someone like this before or since, but I just went for it. The woman told me when to come to her flat, wouldn't take my name, didn't want to know anything, just gave me an appointment. (This was in the days before people had all the call tracking stuff on their phones, and the young man's parents had kept his suicide out of the papers.)
When I arrived, she started telling me a lot of stuff, like I've seen these people do on television, "I have a lady here, maybe her name is _______ she has a message for you." She went through a bit of this - nothing made sense. I could hardly get a word in edgeways, and figured she was probably nuts, but I listened politely. Finally, she wound down and asked me why I was there. I simply said "Because of Simon." She then said "Does he look like this?..." And described him in rather impressive detail, small scar on face, the shape of a rather unusual haircut, hair colour, age, build, etc. Then she said "Has he passed over?" I said "Yes." She said "He followed you in, and I wasn't sure what was going on. He's feeling sorry for himself and doesn't want to talk to us, but I've told him that it's not okay to attach himself to people like that, and he needs to move on. He's left us now."
At this point we entered a discussion about what this lady believed happens to us when we die. Having just had this experience, I did, and still do, give a lot of credence to her views. Basically she believed that when someone dies they go to another place, a good place, where they are given choices - they can stay in this place - where they can "learn" as she put it - and if they wish they can become guides or "helpers" to the living, or they can choose to be reincarnated - either right away - or they can decide this later. Sometimes, when people die they have trouble accepting it and hang around, but it's not a good thing. There was more detail, but I don't remember it very well.
The next day I woke up feeling like someone who has misplaced something, but can't remember quite what is missing. It was my "depression". It was completely gone. Much later, I found out that Simon had a long history of terrible mental illness. I hadn't picked this up. The person who told me this also thought that perhaps his death might have been more of a result of a flirtation with suicide than a serious attempt. I suppose all this might account for his unrest in some way.
My personal belief is that there is too much anecdotal evidence for "life after life" to discount it. I also believe that it is difficult for most of us to separate the things that may be manufactured by our brains for lots of different reasons, from a truly spiritual experience like information from our past lives, ghosts, contact with deities, etc. However, I don't take this as a reason not to try, I take it as a reason to keep asking questions. I asked myself whether my medium lady could have been a fake, or whether it was possible that she could have coincidentally known about my friend for some pragmatic reason. While it's not impossible to rule it out completely, I decided that any explanation of that sort that I could come up with was even less likely than the alternative - that she had seen my friend's spirit and sent him away to get on with the next stage of his existence.
One question that many of us have is why souls would be reincarnated into all the many forms of misery that our world has to offer, like ill health, poverty, abuse and so on. The answer which makes the most sense to me is along the lines that when the individual chooses to be reincarnated, at that point they are aware that "life" is something of an illusion, and that it is temporary. One life is not the whole story. Perhaps they choose these seemingly terrible circumstances for some higher reason that we cannot fathom (like the evolution of their own soul - some lesson that they believe they will learn through undergoing this extreme difficulty), and we simply cannot see this because we are so caught up in our emotional response to seeing this suffering on our current plane of existence.

Shyann Amy Lenz, 9, died with her mother on Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, as the result of an airplane crash in Sevier County, Utah.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Our Lady of the Black Hills in Piedmont, S.D., with the Rev. Steve Biegler officiating. A second service will be at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at St. James Catholic Church in Chamberlain with the Rev. Guy Blair officiating. Burial will follow at Graceland Cemetery in Oacoma, S.D.
She was born Feb. 4, 2003, to Mark Allen Lenz and Trista Marie (Meyer) Lenz in Rapid City, S.D. Her parents later divorced when she was 4 years old.
She started school at Piedmont Elementary in Piedmont, S.D., and then moved to Rozet with her mom, where she attended Rozet Elementary. They lived in Rozet with her grandmother, Myra Fees, until buying their own home in Moorcroft.
When her aunt Meridith and uncle Scott moved their family to Gillette, Shyann attended third grade at Prairie Wind Elementary, where Meridith taught until accepting a position at Buffalo Ridge Elementary, where Shyann then attended fourth grade.
Shyann's dad, Mark, remarried and gave Shyann a brother, Hunter, and sister, Rayne. She loved her brother and sister and was always so proud of them. She loved spending time with her Dad, second mom, Lindsey and her siblings. Her dad moved his family to Gillette to be closer to Shyann and spend more time with her.
She was an amazing little girl, full of love and hope. She had participated in Girl Scouts and was in the process of joining 4-H so she could show her horse and rabbit. Shyann had an immense love for all animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian so she could always take care of them. She was always drawing, making cards and decorations for everyone. When Shyann was curious about an animal, she spent hours researching and printing off facts about the animal and reciting it out loud to anyone who would listen.
Shyann is survived by her father, Mark Lenz; stepmother, Lindsey Lenz; brother Hunter, and sister Rayne, all of Gillette; grandmothers, Myra Fees of Rozet and Jo Mclaughlin of Seymour, Ind.; grandfather, Roger Meyer of Bethel, Minn.; great-grandmothers, Coleen Short of Piedmont, S.D., Evelyn Meyer of Little Falls, Minn., and Faye Fees of Opal, S.D.; her aunts and uncles and numerous cousins.
Shyann was joined in death by her mother, Trista Meyer. Preceding her in death was her grandfather, Richard Mclaughlin, and great-grandfathers, Lloyd Short, Edward Meyer and Glenn Harmon.
A memorial has been established. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.kinkadefunerals.com. Condolences also may be attached to the obituary on the News Record's website at www.gillettenewsrecord.com.
i am so sorry to the relitives of shyann and her mother she was my bff she was a very nice girl

Harvard University: Threat to Discipline Student Newspaper Staff for Publishing Satirical Cartoon
The Harbus, a student newspaper at Harvard Business School (HBS), ran an editorial cartoon that criticized the school's Career Services for severe and chronic technical problems during a crucial week for student job searches. The cartoon showed a computer screen with pop-up announcements about the incompetence and inefficiency of the program. One announcement had two words expressing the exasperation of HBS students: "incompetent morons." The administration issued a verbal warning, causing the editor-in-chief to resign. Following public criticism by FIRE, HBS issued a statement detailing its regret that the incident chilled free expression on campus and affirmed its commitment to the free and open exchange of ideas.
- "Harvard Business School Dean Expresses Regret, Promises Freedom of Speech," January 8, 2003: Harvard Business School Dean Kim B. Clark, in a letter last week to FIRE's co-directors, expressed his regret over a scandal involving the intimidation of a student editor by top administrators at his institution.

Inducing Milk Supply for Your Adopted Baby
When Jackie and Ken learned that it was possible to induce a milk supply for the baby they planned to adopt, they knew that this was something they wanted to do. They talked with their family doctor, ordered a book from La Leche League International, and rented a breast pump.
Two months later, a beautiful baby boy came into their lives. Jackie had worked very hard to stimulate her milk production, but there was not enough to fully nourish the baby. At first she grieved, but the local La Leche League group that she attended reminded Jackie that the love she shared while nursing her son was more important than the amount of milk she produced. Jackie continued to enjoy breastfeeding her little boy for many months and accepted that the supplemental bottles she also relied on were not a sign of failure.
Inducing milk is something women have done for ages. Even women who've not birthed a baby may induce milk supply with a combination of pumping and expression of the breasts and/or medication. According to the La Leche League, frequent double pumping (pumping both breasts simultaneously) is the best way to induce milk supply.

I like soda stream but I am a diet Mt. dew drinker I drink a case a day. My drink of choice for now are countrytime

Best pop ever!!
My son and daughter in law bought us a Soda Stream tonight and it makes the best Diet Pop!! I love it!! My husband loves the energy drink. I don't know who came up with this idea, but very very well done!!!
June 4, 2012
Another tip!
I bought my soda stream about a month ago. I was worried about the flavors and not liking them. Not only does my family (husband and four kids) like most of them we have also picked up a trick for new flavors. We had purchased a MIO for my husband to use for his water at work and he tried using it instead of the syrup. It worked. Now not only do we use the syrups from soda stream but have expanded our flavor variety by using the MIOs in the water after carbonating. The kids get "soda" without all the sugar!!!!
May 27, 2012
Good Decision!!!!
Bought my Pure a couple of weeks ago as a Mother's Day gift, but couldn't stand it just hiding in my closet so I gave it to my wife early. It works great and is easy to use. My wife just loves the Cola zero flavor since she's is (was) a coke zero drinker. However, I did fail to do the proper research on the flavors and didn't realize until later that the regular flavors are reduced calorie drinks because they use a mixture of sugar and Splenda. Me and Splenda don't get a long and I don't drink diet drinks so I am only drinking the sparkling natural flavors, which are tremendous. I just wish they made some regular calorie drink flavors without using Splenda.

England draw blank
10:50pm Thursday 21st March 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
England drew a blank in the first hour after choosing to bowl first in the final Test against New Zealand at Eden Park.
James Anderson and Stuart Broad's opening spells came to nought as Hamish Rutherford and Peter Fulton took the hosts to 31 without loss. Alastair Cook's gamble that this drop-in pitch might be at its mostly fruitful for bowlers in the first session therefore did not appear to be paying off.
There was precious little encouragement for England's frontline seam attack, including first change Steven Finn at the same venue where he gave Rutherford a torrid time in the tourists' one-day international victory last month.
This time, the nearest Finn came was when Rutherford inside-edged him on to his thigh-pad and away for a single wide of short-leg in his first over.
Rutherford had already driven Anderson down the ground to the short straight boundary for the first four of the match, and Fulton whipped Broad off his legs for his opening boundary and then cut Finn over point for another.
Anderson twice beat Rutherford on the back foot, and then had Fulton edging high and just past third slip to go from 12 to 16.
There were no clear-cut chances on an apparently easy-paced and true pitch.
But there was enough life in it for Anderson to hit Rutherford on the grille of the helmet with a short ball in his eighth over.
England made just one enforced change in this potential series decider, after the rain-affected draws in Dunedin and Wellington, Jonny Bairstow replacing the injured Kevin Pietersen.
The Kiwis have kept the same team throughout, resisting the temptation here to fast-track Doug Bracewell back into the team after his recovery from a gashed foot.

Jaime Murray Considers Both 'Warehouse 13' Spinoff, 'Defiance'
Actress still interested in continuing on with H.G. Wells
Jaime Murray is one popular actress, and it seems nearly every television producer wants to have her a part of the team.
But when Murray signed on to the highly anticipated new Syfy series "Defiance," there were many concerns that plans to keep her in another universe -- one created by "Warehouse 13" -- might not happen.
Despite her news full-time job, Murray says she's still quite interested in reviving her sinister, unpredictable H.G. Wells character. And she could still very much be a part of a planned spinoff being developed by "Warehouse 13" showrunner Jack Kenny.
"Actually, if I were working on any other network, the spinoff would be completely off the chart by now," Murray told Airlock Alpha and other reporters attending a Friday morning launch gathering at San Diego Comic-Con. "But I think sci-fi is a genre where the audience sort of enjoys seeing actors that they know and are invested in. If Syfy wanted that [H.G. Wells spinoff] to happen, it still could happen. We would be able to work out scheduling and such, so it could work."
Even more, both "Defiance" and "Warehouse 13" are filmed in Toronto, so transportation and lodging wouldn't be an issue if the H.G. Wells spinoff were to be greenlighted.
Murray plays Stahma Tarr, an alien with a very interesting background. She plays a character, who on her home world, would be a high-class citizen. But life is much different in Defiance, the city that was once St. Louis. Stahma is married to Datak Tarr, played by Scottish actor Tony Curran. He plays a character of a lower class of the same alien race, a marriage that would probably only work in a place like Defiance.
"As an actor, it's a very fun thing to explore," Murray said. "As a modern-day woman, it's very interesting for me to play such a character that comes from a place with so little power and how that doesn't sit well with her. She's expected to be a submissive in a patriarchal society, but she finds other ways to find what she needs."
Murray also has a chance to work once again with Julie Benz, the actress she shared some scenes in Season 2 of the Showtime hit "Dexter." Since first meeting in 2007 on that show, the two have become great friends, and are enjoying the chance to work together again.
"It's an added plus to be able to work with one of your best friends," Benz said. And while the two are very close in the real world, when it comes to drama, having such a relationship is not in the cards. It seems that some things don't change from the "Dexter" days.
"We're not best friends on the show," Benz said.
While Murray is still interested in reviving H.G. Wells in a spinoff, she's mum on whether or not we will see the character again on "Warehouse 13." And there's reason for that.
"I can't tell you things like that, I'd died at the end of the last season," Murray said. "What possible way could I come back? Anything is possible in sci-fi."

"Defiance" premieres in April on Syfy.

I've currently got two Firewire boards (6'1 flexfire and a 5'10 quadfish for summer). I was thinking of getting a 5'6/5'8 dominator to use on smaller but still punchy waves as I find the flexfire works best in 4ft+ surf. However, I've recently booked a trip to Bali this summer and I am now wondering if it would be more beneficial to get a 6'6 step-up rather than the Dom.
Ive surfed my flexfire in 6-7ft surf in the UK but having not been to Indo before, I'm not sure if it would handle waves of a similar or slightly bigger size in Bali? My problem is that I'm only taking two boards with me and only have enough money to get either the Dom or the step-up so it would either be the flexfire and the Dom or the flexfire and the step-up.
Just wanted an opinion on if the step-up is an irreplaceable board to take to Indo as it would probably only ever be used on return trips and the Dom would come in for a lot more use back home.
Just incaseit helps, I'm around 70kg and an average surfer.

NEWBERRY — The turn out was huge and the good-byes tearful on Saturday as the community said good-bye to a local hang out.
In 1961 Daniel Maw opened a bar at the corner of Nance and Pope streets and for the past 51 years he has been serving his customers.
On Saturday the gatherings at Maw's came to an end as he decided to retire.
While some fishing may be in store, Maw says he has a honey do list waiting on him at home.
But as more than 200 patrons gathered in and outside the business, they remembered that Maw has made many wonderful contributions to the community.
They also praised him as being a good friend, who loved and adored his business and customers and the customers loved him back.
In fact, many said Maw's was one of the best locally owned businesses to have served Newberry County.
Maw was honored recently by District 40 State Representative Walt McLeod who sent a document thanking Maw for his contributions to the community.
Also some of his patrons cooked a barbecue meal for those turning out to say their good-byes to the establishment on Saturday.
But more than just eating was done as the patrons remembered, reflected and chewed on the good memories.
The building which served beer to many over the years will continue to give.
Maw has donated the property to Glory Tabernacle Church which is across the street.
He said he did not know what the church would use the property and old store front for.

©2003 Paul Theroux; (P)2003 Recorded Books, LLC
"Dark Star Safari is a wonderful, powerful book, a loving letter to the continent from a writer who has discovered that he has carried something of its essence, like a talisman, through his adult life." (Sunday Times, London)
"[Theroux's] encounters with the natives, aid workers, and occasional tourists make for rollicking entertainment, even as they offer a sobering look at the social and political chaos in which much of Africa finds itself." (Publishers Weekly)
Freelance journalist, now living in Israel. Audible books listener for 30 years, when I had to pretend to be blind to get access.
"One of the best"
This book -- and recording -- succeeds on so many levels it's hard to know where to start. If you like Bill Bryson, you'll love this one, too.
First of all, it's a captivating listen, so compelling it's almost impossible to find a place to stop.
Beyond that, it offers one man's view of Africa, and African history, beginning in Egypt all the way through South Africa. For much of the contemporary story of Africa, Thoreau writes about the 'Agents of Virtue' -- foreign missionaries and charities -- who have been "serving" in Africa for hundreds of years, with apparently no success whatever. His ridicule of these do-gooders -- who seem to drive around in white vans and do little more than perpetuate their own positions -- is both funny and well presented. Why, indeed, has Africa been the subject of charity for so many hundreds or years? Thoreau's argument makes perfect sense to me.
It's also a great literary read -- I loved the comparisons to Dicken's "Mrs. Jellybe", to Twain's 'Innocents Abroad' and to other works about Africa. It was fun hearing him tell about his own other books on Africa, and how they were received by Africans.
But maybe the best part of all is the sheer pleasure of the audicious story itself -- how this not-young man hitched rides in cattle trucks, rattle-trap buses, slept on the ground, avoided snakes, ate what they ate, wore clothes from the charity piles, all to fit in, to get the real feeling of Africa.
This is a book I will listen to again and again --If you've read this far, you've gotta buy this book. It's one of the best. Absolutely unforgettable.
"All about Paul"
I have admired Theroux for a long time and find his stories about travel to really give you a sense of being there and a sense of what travelling is all about. However Dark Star was a real disappointmemt. In this story Theroux is focused solely on himself, the book is literally all about him. His expectations are not met on this trip and he lets you know. The welcome he hoped for did not happen. The Africa he knew in the peace core and in his teaching position seems to have decayed and he can not get over it.
I had hoped to "see" Africa through his eyes. Instead I saw Theroux's bitter, inward turning self.
"Narrator spoils the book"
Though the author's cynicism is sharper than some of his other narratives, the narrator/reader does a great injustice to this work. The intoned cynicism and sarcastic inference often doesn't seem to accurately portray Theroux's intended tone. Worse, the reader's efforts to interpret accents and voices are miserable - his Egyptian interpretation is no different than an East African or Indian, and every one seems to have a sinister undertone. Just awful, and really too bad, because I think the book itself could otherwise be both insightful and entertaining.
"Painful narration accents good story"
Theroux's gentle misanthropy takes a sinister turn with the narration. The accents are painful listening. This narrator has been good with other material, but his similar, consistent, almost clownish characterization makes everyone the author meets seem to be a buffoon or evil. This is evidently not what Theroux intended. I fault the producer's selection of narratorial voice. Literally.
"Africa As She Is!"
I listened to Paul Theroux's "Dark Star Safari" with great interest. After being an immigrant child, I've spent a lifetime in Africa and have either lived in, or experienced, most of the places he discusses. From Cape to Cairo. I appreciated his astute observations, as also the veracity and honesty of his writings. I often smiled, thinking "that's exactly what Africa is like!" I also admired the authentic way in which he travelled – so different from most spoilt tourists – and the difficulties which faced him on an almost daily basis. It's a harsh continent, and as the locals often say: "Africa is not for sissies".
I also agree with his take on the audacity and bare-faced cheek of missionaries, so adamant that their way is the only right way. However, it must be remembered that much good humanitarian work has also been done by them.
Years ago, I was a reporter on the Johannesburg newspaper which he mentions, "The Star", and later spent many years working for an NGO locally. I feel that his criticisms of Aid organisations are a little harsh, but not completely unfounded.
I grew up in the same small mining town where Nadine Gordimer was born, and I believe we attended the same school, although I didn't have the honour of knowing her personally. I feel I know her a little better after the author's warm descriptions of her and her husband.
Personal descriptions are just that, though, and I feel this needs to be remembered by the reader. The novel is non-fiction, and because there are so many factual references, one is easily drawn into the author's personal feelings as though they were also accurate statements of fact. I agreed with most of his emotive reactions to people and situations, could see his points which were well made, but there were also some I would've liked to take issue with him over.
It was a pity, I thought, that his obvious dislike of Afrikaners surfaced as a blanket kind of prejudice. Granted, as a nation they tend to suck at their own PR, have been much maligned and are consequently sometimes over-defensive, but they are a people who also have many admirable qualities. It also needs to be remembered that had it not been for Afrikaners, South African cities could well be another Kampala or Lilingwe today, instead of the haven that the rest of Africa is streaming into. Legally or not. I found it jarring, that the savage, brutal and barbaric murders of Boer farmers over the past years, a fact which almost amounts to genocide, and which is fleetingly mentioned in the book, is simply overshadowed by the author's personal bias or dislike towards the man who was trying to tell him this. It's mentioned in an off-handed kind of way, of little consequence by comparison to his own irritation with the man. Conversely, the stealing of land in Zimbabwe gets very good coverage, and rightly so.
Otherwise, I found his observations of countries and people to be refreshingly open-minded and non-judgmental, imbued with intelligence, a good understanding of the Continent and its people, and a healthy dash of common sense. Sometimes a little long-winded perhaps - I also love Egypt, her gods and her delightful inhabitants, but after a while I thought: "enough already!", but was soon enjoying the following chapters.
A good read, well-researched and accurate.
The narration by Norman Dietz is very good; he must be commended for attempting all those accents! It must have been a daunting task. Well done.
"Does Foreign Aid Work?"
The only book by Theroux that I had read (or listened to) before was "Fresh Air Fiend" and back then I had this impression about the author that he was a little too grumpy about everything, especially when he described his trips to China. This African travel audiobook is no different: he constantly yammers about discomforts, delays, and irrationalities he experiences en route to Capetown. Still, I liked it so much not because of his grouchiness but mainly because he seriously questions the usefulness of charities and other NGO activities in Africa throughout the book. If you want to understand his point but have little time to listen to the whole audiobook, try the chapter on "The Back Road to Soche Hill School." It will give you a general idea of what he is trying to say, based on his experience as a Peace Corps volunteer 40 years ago as well as his many encounters with smug western aid workers on white Land Cruisers.
I want to read books that take me to a "place and/or time" I've never been. On the other hand, I love reading about places where I HAVE been.
"I "read" and listened simultaneously"
My husband and I went to a book reading by Paul Theroux when the book was first published and have a signed copy so I felt that I must read it. But I really didn't feel like actually reading it so I held the hard cover copy of this book and listened at the same time. My husband didn't know I was listening (long hair covered my earbuds). He'd have thought me silly to buy an audio version when we already had the book.
I am a huge fan of Theroux and have read almost every book he has written (try Hotel Honolulu!)
Yes, he is a curmudgeon but I guess I am too, so he is a perfect author for me. The narrator didn't capture the real 'voice' of the author. Theroux is a funny, sardonic guy. The narrator made the author sound whiny and imperious. I wish we could have had the author read his own story. It would've come off differently.
Nevertheless, a good read....................and of course, I'm on my Africa "kick," reading what I can get my hands (ears) on about that part of the world.
"Excellent Adventure"
This is a wonderful Paul Theroux adventure, if you ever had a desire to go cross country in Africa this is the book for you. It is on par with the other recorded books of Paul's other/railway adventures (which seem to not be available recorded any more), he describes the locations, foods, smells, such that you feel that you are there with him.
"Thorny Accents"
This was a great read as well as a great listen. I love the journey and it was well descriptively written from Cairo to the Cape. As an African, I found the Norman accents of the Africans way off key for the most part, at best they were misplaced for the most part. Looking beyond that narration flaw, the Paul presentation was stellar. I will be reading/listening to this again.
I've decided to read this book, rather than listen to it, as I couldn't get more than two hours into the audio version. The narration is unbearably annoying. The accents are completely over the top, rendering many of the people Theroux encounters as mere caricatures, and bad ones at that.
I also found that the narration made Theroux seem like an obnoxious, pretentious snob. I can't decide if I'd have the same reaction to Theroux himself if I were reading the book, instead of the listening to the narrator's whining delivery.
This is the worst audio version of any book I've ever encountered, I'm sorry to say. Others might enjoy it and get some laughs out of the crude accents, but it just didn't work for me. Glad I only used a "gift" credit from Audible to purchase this one.

Ok, so this topic may be a little strange and I couldn't find it posted before, so here goes..
The other day, my kids Hex Bugs (http://www.hexbug.com) a toy they got for Christmas, started running out of batteries and I thought to myself, I know where there are some (lots in fact) that might fit... Guess what, they fit perfectly and now these little toy bugs have an endless supply of batteries to keep them running around the house...
So, I was wondering what other devices these little batteries with tons of life left in them could be used for...
Anyone found some good (or unique) places they fit?
And Happy (and Healthy) New Year!!
Thanks for sharing,
I didn't know the batteries are still working.
I know that we can mail old pods for recycle. What other options we have?
Funny ... I have been pondering this for some time. Seems like such a horrible waste to throw out 4 batteries, every 3 days. I thought I saw that they might work in some hearing aids. I know there are a lot of seniors that don't like to spend money -- might be worth connecting with a nursing home to see if they would have any use for them???
Does anyone know the typical charge that is left after the pod has been used?
They are 357 sized. So anything that fits a 357 (also goes under the name "303") would take these.
The batteries must have enough juice to make it the entire shelf-life that is listed on the box. Most are 2 years from date of manufacture. I wouldn't think that it would make the cut as an 'acceptable medical device' if it couldn't do its actual job during that time frame due to low battery...at least I'd assume it wouldn't be approved.
I would imagine if you use it in the first few months after manufacture then it probably still has maybe 75% of its juice left...but that's just a total guess.
I have been adding mine to the recyle bag to send them to be recyled (10 more to go for my first send!) . I can`t be bothered to start opening the pods.
also have nothing else that would use this size.
You would be surprised how many kids toys take these things!!
I use them in my Lyman electronic digital caliper!
That's exactly what I used some for. Also came in useful for one of my god son's handheld games. Not sure his mum appreciated it though; noisy game and I think she'd been praying it'd go flat since Christmas day!

This information is probably true, so take it for what it's worth.

A celebration of life was held Saturday afternoon at Central Christian Church for a Kingman mother killed in a house fire. Family and friends gathered to remember Vashti Seacat who was killed one week ago in the early morning blaze.
"The amount of outpouring we have seen from friends and family is phenomenal and it just shows you what kind of person she was," says Vashti's brother Rich Forrest.
"We know she is in heaven, we will miss her everyday," says friend Robyn Winzer.
The chapel at Central Christian Church overflowed with people during the memorial service for Seacat. Friends and family gave tearful speeches, told insightful stories; they say its part of the grieving process following Seacat's death last week.
Many of the tears that were shed Saturday afternoon surrounded Seacat's two young sons that are left behind...Mother's Day is Sunday making the day that much more difficult.
"The saddest part is that those boys will be without a mother tomorrow," added Winzer.
Officials continue to investigate what caused the fire that killed Seacat. Family members say Vashti would want them to stay strong as they search for answers.
"There are still some questions that we have...it's a rough time for the entire family but we will stick together and grieve together," added Forrest.
Family and friends also used the afternoon to start a scrapbook for Seacat's two sons. They say they want the boys to grow up remembering what a loving supporting mother they had.
