Taming CSS
Observation 1: Web developers, in general, don't know CSS as well as they should.
Observation 2: There aren't really any good roadmaps for learning all the essentials of CSS.
There are great resources for the basics, for styling, for code organization/architecture, for advanced tricks. But to work through them all, you get a lot of overlap, and they still leave you with missing gaps in your knowledge. Often, with CSS, you don't know what you don't know, and that makes it hard to move forward. My hope is to fix that, by putting them all together in one place.
Announcing Taming CSS, a CSS book for web developers.

So you have to write some CSS
I get it. You're a python/ruby/java engineer, and you're building your awesome webapp. The problem is, a webapp needs CSS. And you know… just enough to realize how little you know.
CSS is complicated. It's not a programming language strictly speaking, but you would probably rather it was; you have learned new languages in the past. But CSS is off in its own little world, a wildly complicated set of rules. Sure, you can usually make a page do what you want. Other times leave you completely baffled and out of your element. You wish you had time to read up on how to do it well, but you have code that needs writing.
So here you go. Here are a handful of nice and easy rules for you. Follow these, and your CSS should be… more presentable than if you didn't. It will be more maintainable into the future, and that front end engineer your startup will hire as soon as it can afford to will thank you. (Because that engineer may be me!)
- Make your selectors as generic as possible — Use the shortest selector you can, and apply rules as universally as is reasonable. Say you're adding a dialog box on your billing page. Don't specify
#billing .dialogif you'll likely want the same CSS for dialog boxes later on; just use
.dialog. (This isn't completely absolute: if you know you're dealing with an exception to the rule, keep it specific.)
- Don't use
!important— Like tribbles, these things are born pregnant, and will multiply faster than you can imagine. Instead, take five minutes to learn how selector specificity works and use the browser dev tools to see which rule is overriding the one you want.
- Minimize duplication — You organize your code into reusable functions; do the same with your CSS. This is kind of a corollary to the two points above.
Say you have generic dialog box
.dialog { color: blue; }, which is overridden on your billing page with a special rule
#billing .dialog { color: red; }. If you later find yourself adding another rule like
#account .dialog { color: red; }, STOP!
Instead, make something reusable:
.dialog-important { color: red; }. Then you don't need to touch your CSS yet again when you encounter a third page that needs the same thing!
- CSS must be refactored — Just like your code, CSS rots. Don't be afraid to tear down and restructure as things evolve.

The DOM as Global State
Let's look at a common scenario: somewhere, deep inside your module, you need to do something to the DOM. Maybe something like,
$("#my-id").show();. Find an element; make it visible. It seems like no big deal, but I want to make an observation:
You just used a global variable.
The DOM is a global state. This is stupidly obvious when I say it this way, but I have never thought about it in these terms before. I've seen a lot of code–and written a lot of code–littered with jQuery selectors grabbing elements from all over the page and manipulating them.
Using global state is generally considered an anti-pattern. And yet, I would venture the vast majority of web applications in the wild use it liberally: modules full of functions that reach into the DOM and manipulate various elements. In most applications, this sort of thing would be considered a side-effect. The readability and testability of code are compromised, because there's no real way to know what a certain function does unless you also know the current state of specific elements on the page. And yet in the web world, it is commonplace.
Considering how much effort we've spent getting around the global namespacing problems of JavaScript, it's pretty ridiculous to realize we're not much further than where we started. Let's fix that.
Dependency Injection
Thankfully, the solution here is the same as any other code: Pass the relevant data in as a function parameter. Then your functions and objects can do all they need to do, while acting only on items they are given references to. So instead of this:
function foo () {
$("#my-div .baz").somethingElse();
I have begun structuring my code more like this:
function foo (element) {
(For an example using the module pattern, see my answer to this Stack Overflow question. It's still contrived, but a little bit closer to real-world code. In more complex modules, I generally pass the element into an
init() function or an object constructor)
Yes, you still have to perform the global selector, but now the real meat of your code is not dependent upon it. Your code is also able to handle more changes the the DOM without breaking, and in your unit tests, you can now pass in a mocked up element, instead of setting up a specific global state.
You stopped using global variables when you picked up the module pattern and other namespacing tactics. Now stop using them inside your namespaces as well.

My Very Favorite Things
I've come across two articles in the past several days that take critical views against something I love and believe in. JavaScript is the new Perl is skeptical of the recent surge in the popularity of Javascript. Five Reasons Why Responsive Design is Wrong for Your Business is skeptical of RWD.
Obviously, being a front end web developer, my someone-is-wrong-on-the-internet alarms started going off, and I "had" to comment on each. Both authors were kind enough to respond to my comments graciously (and left me hoping I didn't come off as too much of a jerk). They also both clarified their stance a little to say, essentially, "just because tool X is cool and popular right now, doesn't mean it's the right answer for everything." And as much as I love Javascript and RWD, I had to agree.
It's easy to get absorbed in the excitement of new shiny things. It's also good to step back and make sure you aren't blinded to their limits.
It's also very refreshing to see reasoned discourse on the internet. I don't think there can be too much hype behind that.

Game Recap: Braves 3 – Mets 2
Result: The Mets lost to the Braves, 3-2, Wednesday night in Flushing.
Need to Know: Zack Wheeler gave up three early runs before settling in. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done and the Mets were unable to overcome the deficit. Wheeler allowed two earned runs on four hits and three walks in seven innings, striking out seven. The Braves did not record a hit off Wheeler from the fourth inning on.
The Mets came within inches of tying the game in the bottom of the eighth. With a run already across in the inning, the Mets had a man on third with two out. Braves SS Andrelton Simmons then made a spectacular play on a grounder in the hole to get Travis d'Arnaud out at first by a step, preventing the run from scoring.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Mets fell short once again. Ruben Tejada came to the plate with one out and two men in scoring position. Tejada hit a weak grounder to third with the infield in, getting Eric Campbell thrown out at home.
David Wright and Daniel Murphy sat out for a second straight game. Wilmer Flores hit a solo home run in the second. Juan Lagares and Campbell each had a two-hit night.
What's Next: Jon Niese (7-9, 3.47) is on the mound for the Mets in Thursday's series finale. Mike Minor (5-8, 4.90) gets the start for Atlanta. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m.

My doctor recommended a high protein shake daily. The Ensure Creamy Milk Chocolate HP shakes are the best tasting I have found so far. I like to pour it over ice and drink right away. Very good product.
My dad is 88 and doesn't have much of an appetite anymore, and what he does eat is mostly carbs. I was concerned about the amount of weight he's lost, particularly muscle mass, so I started buying him Ensure. I started with the regular Ensure, but then found the high protein/low sugar version, which he says tastes just as good as the original version. They're a little pricey, but since they're nearly twice the size of regular Ensure, he drinks only half at a time, so the cost works out about the same and he's getting a little more protein and a lot less sugar. I also like that they contain vitamins/minerals, since he doesn't take any other supplements like a multi-vitamin. I tasted the product as well, and it's quite good (like chocolate milk). Keep it chilled for the best flavor.
I tried this product for the first time and I really like the taste. There is no after-taste with this as there is with some of the other products. Helps me to get in my required amount of protein after having Gastric bypass surgery and I am within the guidelines I was given. I would strongly recommend this product to anyone needing to supplement their protein. My mother even drinks it twice a day. I paid more for other protein drinks, but this is the best one I have had.
Good Protein shake served very cold. It has 25 g of protein and is only 210 calories for 14 fl oz. I enjoyed the shake and will buy again, it is just a little costly for 4 bottles.
I have no idea what the folks at Ensure did to the formula of the large size Ensure 14ounces because the taste seems to be "watered down" compared to the delicious and creamy 8 ounce smaller bottles. I am sure that the ingredients are good for your health, but the taste of the chocolate protein drink was completely different and because of this, I can't recommend it based on taste alone. Maybe others may find the taste pleasant, but in my opinion, the smaller bottles are the best tasting, and I hope Ensure realizes this and will make the taste the same as the smaller bottles. Are you listening Ensure?
Very tasty. Easy way to get nutrition.
Shopping on line helps me more than I can say.I am 70 and have to use a cain so I order all that I can!
Following my bariatric procedure, I am required to take in lots of extra protein each day- but without much sugar content. I have tried everything, and while there are lots of great mixes out there, these shakes are by far the tastiest and most convenient I've found. Walmart makes them affordable, too!
The ordweing process and turnaround time were excellent. Very pleased with that part. There was a little problrm with the condition of the product. Although it came to my door and I received it immediately, it was extremely thick and lumpy as though it had been allowed to sit in the heat. No amount of shaking helped, but it smelled and tasted fresh, so we are using it. It wasn't at all like a local purchase might have been,however.
From reading the label, it is a good nutritutional drink; however, I struggled to finish one, due to the taste. So, I gave them to my teenage son, who usually drinks anything with flavor. Needless to say, he has drank one and the other 2 has sat in my refrigerator for the past 2 weeks.
For those needing the extra nutrients Ensure High Protein is great. The shipping was extremely fast. I would order this product every time I needed it online except there is no way to use the coupons I get from time to time. It was great having it delivered to my door instead of lugging it around.
The chocolate actually is pretty tasty.... I use it as a supplement to my diet as I work to recover!
It works well for me to keep in the fridge and grab one as needed :)
I use this shake while working as I'm always on the go and it keeps me satisfied.
I highly recommend the Ensure Chocolate High Protein Shakes. They are excellent nutrition for everyone. It has 210 calories, 23 grams of Total Carbohydrates, 25 grams of Total Protein, and 24 vitamins & minerals. It has a lot of great things in it and makes you strong and energetic. Just being honest.
Helps my family to maintain healthy eating choices even when we are short on time. Tastes fantastic, and has tons of protein!!
great way to get quick and easy protein
I am drinking high protein Ensure shakes for healing a wound. What has impressed me immensely is the fast delivery time. It's as good as Amazon, receiving it within 2 days. Amazing.
When order was made, estimated delivery date was within a week, which was impressive. Even more impressive was delivery by carrier at door step one day early. Nicely packed, and free shipping since we exceeded the minimum amount for that shipping option. Love the Ensure high protein, great taste, provides so many nutrients, lots of good quality protein and low in sugar (important considerations for diabetics). We plan on regularly reordering from this source, glad we found this option.
Excellent service

Hahha. Like that ending
| murphycat chapter 3 . 3/20/2013
I like that last part. "he didn't have the courage to just make his case to her." That's a good line. This is the first time that I've read this. It's good.
| Guest chapter 5 . 12/29/2012
Good ending , satisfying

| Animaltalker chapter 1 . 5/14/2012
I was retreading this today and couldn't remember if I ever sent in a review to say how much I live your Perey & Della stories . I can never get enough
| razraz chapter 5 . 7/12/2011
Humming - great description. "Oh I have but a little planning rarely gets in the way" - perfect Della
"The first weekend she didn't come." - nice angst.
"Always so quiet when she disapproved or tried to give him space." - and he is not quite sure which one is which - love it. This is a great line
"delivered to Denver to settle a case long filed away..." take that Laura!
Most unfavourite line "What more was there to say?"
Well - you could have stretched the couch scene out way longer - and the wedding night! Oh I also loved the "her sigh mixed with a squeal."'
Thanks for your story. Raz
| EastEnder chapter 5 . 7/9/2011
Thank you so much for that. I loved that story and how you have explained a lot of my unanswered questions after the end of "Lost Love". It is good to read stories of the older Della and Perry although you have to know the younger couple in order to understand the older.
| Michelle Weiner chapter 2 . 7/8/2011
My favorite line from this chapter..."She is different around Perry" his father used to tell him,"together they can face any storm."
Truer words were never spoken :)
| Captain Weirdo chapter 5 . 7/8/2011
Another great last line! This was such a sweet story. Good work!
| Captain Weirdo chapter 4 . 7/8/2011
Good fluff! :D
| Captain Weirdo chapter 3 . 7/8/2011
Lots of wonderful images in this chapter. I can almost feel his tiredness, and hers.
| Captain Weirdo chapter 2 . 7/8/2011
"No matter how often I think otherwise, I know nothing about Della Street."
That has to be one of my all-time, favorite lines. Great stuff!
| marcho chapter 5 . 7/8/2011
Loved this! I really like how you made it seem like Perry was the reluctant one all those years, being concerned that Della would never be happy as a "housewife, ." I loved Della's proposal, and thought the wedding was just perfect for those two. I could say so much more, but, I definitely will re-read this story again and again. Keep writing, you're doing a fantastic job with my favorite TV couple!
| Captain Weirdo chapter 1 . 7/8/2011
Ahhhh, lovely.
I think this might be my favorite of your stories so far. I love the subtle understated way you show the "riot" of emotions in Della's understated actions. And the ending is just perfect. Well done!

Hustler is known around the world for its adventurous style of pornography, a style as explicit as it is glamorous and proving as popular as it has controversial, and that style is in full flight on Hustler's official online video emporium. Now in its 18th year of operation, Hustler is still pounding out the porno with aplomb. But, what's this? An increasingly nonexclusive archive devoid of 1080p HD videos? What gives, Hustler? Are you leading the early 21st Century's first porno revolution or simply cutting a few corners?
Busty women - and by "busty" I mean those ranging from "cleavage-baring" to "unable to be restrained by conventional brassieres" - are a key ingredient in most pornography and especially that of Denys Defrancesco. A Frenchman now based in Budapest, Defrancesco has many websites showcasing his work, but none are more inviting than DDF Busty. Home to women with seemingly boundless breasts, hooters that leap from their underwire cages and grab your attention by the balls, demanding a closer look, DDF Busty is Defrancesco's chest-heavy porn emporium.
When lecherously staring at women, most hetero guys ogle breasts, buttocks, and faces, that's a given. But those who let their eyes wander further south aren't necessarily aiming to observe a pubic tuft or tight snatch, it's Hot Legs and Feet they're after! A DDF site with a very clear purpose and product, Hot Legs and Feet sees Europe's most sensual models pose in stockings, tights, and nothing at all before enjoying a fondling of their lower limbs. Paired with men and women (often two-at-a-time) but also going it alone in no-less-kinky solo scenes, the Euro hotties twinkling their toes at Hot Legs and Feet are well worth watching no matter where the camera is aimed.

A flood mitigation project in the Sheldrake River Drainage Basin in the neighborhood containing Catherine, Canterbury, Cayuga, Seneca and Oneida Roads, has been discussed at many public meetings over the last several years. The Village has worked toward developing a project that both the neighborhood and the Village agree will provide a cost-effective benefit. The project scope of work has been modified a number of times as the Village seeks to find a beneficial plan relative to flood mitigation and certain legal and financial issues.
Earlier this year, the Village Board formed a working group including Board members, residents, Village staff and the Village's consulting engineer from Dvirka and Bartilucci (D&B). Based on discussions amongst this working group, D&B revised the project scope of work to include the following:
1. Construction of new culvert crossings at Cayuga Road and Canterbury Road. These culverts will eliminate the road infrastructure and provide for open grating, similar to many bridge decks, to allow for ease of access and maintenance and perhaps additional flow capacity;
2. Construction of a connector culvert to the south side of Canterbury Road that will assist in balancing the current flows that enter the storm drain piping on Canterbury Road;
3. Removal of accumulated silt through the open watercourse that abuts the properties of 6 Cayuga Road and 14 and 18 Canterbury Road; and
4. Hydraulic analysis to determine if existing Cayuga Pond orifice opening modifications are required.
The Village Board at its August 13, 2013 meeting appropriated $600,000 from the General Fund, Fund Balance for the Sheldrake River Drainage Basin Modified Project as well as authorizing a professional services agreement with D&B to design the project. As part of this contract, D&B performed hydraulic modeling for the proposed improvements both upstream and downstream to ensure that the design meets all requirements and to identify other pathways for flood mitigation via storage or conveyance. D&B has completed this modeling presented the findings and potential changes to the project as a result of the modeling to the Municipal Services Committee on December 4, 2013.
New York State has announced that the first storm-impacted businesses have been approved for grants through New York State's Small Business Storm Recovery Program and that they are ready to assist with a streamlined application process so you may quickly receive the grants for which they may be eligible.
Through this program, businesses are eligible for grants of $50,000 or more to help replace physical items such as machinery, moveable equipment, inventory, furniture and fixtures, as well as help with the day to day expenses entrepreneurs need to run their businesses. Further, the Program is able to provide grants to reimburse businesses that already purchased these physical items to get their business back up and running. In both cases, the grants would cover "uncompensated costs" above and beyond those covered by insurance proceeds, grant programs and other government resources.
As a first step, businesses should contact their local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) office, where an SBDC business advisor will provide free assistance with completing the application process. For a list of SBDC locations in your community, please refer to http://www.nysandyhelp.ny.gov/sites/default/files/documents/businesscenterlocations.pdf.
New York State representatives are already reaching out to business owners in your community to encourage them to apply for grants and low-interest loans available through this program. To build on these initial outreach efforts, please forward to your constituents as soon as possible a summary of the available grant and loan programs (see http://www.nysandyhelp.ny.gov/sites/default/files/documents/smallbusiness-factsheet_rev_4-25-13.pdf), as well as the list of SBDC locations.
Please keep in mind that funds will also be available in the near future for real property repair and rehabilitation; and that application and receipt of funds for any of the above items does not exclude businesses from applying for repair or rehabilitation funding in the future.

Disclosed files from the nonprofit Heartland Institute outline a plan to undermine the teaching of global warming in public schools, and they identify some corporate donors.
The climate blogs have been swept by quite a scoop in the past few days. An anonymous leaker identified only as "Heartland Insider" has dumped a cache of documents on climate blogs purporting to reveal the inner workings of the Heartland Institute, a vigorous promoter of skepticism about anthropogenic global warming.
NEW YORK (AP) — A new survey has found fewer than half of U.S. Roman Catholics said they knew of Pope Francis' bombshell encyclical on curbing climate change — and only a fraction of those heard about it from the pulpit — in the month after he released the document with an unprecedented call for the church to take up his message.
Since 1996, Michael Mann has been at the forefront of the climate change "debate." That was when he published the first "hockey stick" graph showing the intense upward trend of warming on Earth. (The graph was recently updated, and is even more striking.)
Real News Network interviewed climate scientist Michael Mann, who has come under vicious and persistent attack by right-wing groups who decided to play a reductivist game and focus their attack on one chart Mann developed which became important in popular discussions of climate change.

This invention relates generally to an electronic assembly that comprises substrates, such as printed circuit boards, spaced apart by a spacer. More particularly, this invention relates to such assembly wherein the spacer comprises metallic strips within electrically isolated longitudinal channels to form electrical interconnections between circuit traces on the substrates.
As more functionality has been added to electronic assemblies, more components and electrical interconnections have been added. This has led to substrates having a large surface area. In order to make the substrates more compact, multiple substrates have been connected to form connected substrates having interboard connections. A difficulty has been in forming electrical interconnections between the connected substrates to electrically connect traces on the substrates.
It has been proposed to use flexible strips to make the interboard connections. Flexible strips, however, have minimum bend radii and consequently consume large areas on the substrates, thereby limiting their ability to lessen the surface area of the substrates.
Another interboard connection proposed is conductive ink flexible cables. Conductive ink flexible cables have limited current carrying capacity and are difficult to attach to substrates in multi-board assemblies. Further, conductive ink flexible cables require large areas on the substrate, thereby increasing the surface area of the substrate.
Another interboard connection proposed is parallel gap welded conductors. However, gap welded conductors are expensive to fabricate, and the process of gap welding is labor-intensive.
No proposed multiple substrate assembly has proven effective in high-volume, low-cost production. Consequently, a need exists for an improved connector that both physically and electrically connects multiple substrates to form a more compact assembly.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a spacer interposed between a first substrate and a second substrate to form a multi-board electronic assembly in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the multi-board electronic assembly of FIG. 1 taken along line 2--2;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a spacer in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a multi-board electronic assembly in accordance with the alternate embodiment.
The present invention provides an electronic assembly that includes a first substrate and a second substrate in stacked, spaced arrangement. The first substrate includes a first receptacle, such as a through-hole, and a first circuit trace. The second substrate includes a second receptacle, such as a through-hole, and a second circuit trace. The assembly is joined by a spacer that includes a first end that is received in the first receptacle and a second end that is received in the second receptacle. The spacer includes longitudinal channels that comprise metallic strips to connect the first circuit trace and the second circuit trace. In this manner, the spacer not only physically joins the substrates into an assembly, but also electrically interconnects the circuit traces to permit interboard processing of electrical signals.
The present invention can be better understood with reference to FIGS. 1-4. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of this invention, FIGS. 1 and 2 depict a spacer 16 that is generally cylindrical about a longitudinal axis 11. Spacer 16 comprises a body 15 formed of a nonconductive polymeric material and having first and second ends 26 and 28, respectively, spaced apart by a midsection 44. Midsection 44 is generally cylindrical and is centered longitudinally about axis 11. First shoulder 48 extends radially between first end 26 and midsection 44, and second shoulder 50 extends radially between second end 28 and midsection 44. In a preferred embodiment, first end 26 and second end 28 are tapered to form a partially conical shape having a smaller diameter at the shoulders than midsection 44. This permits ends 26 and 28 to fit into receptacles on a first substrate and a second substrate, while midsection 44 has a greater diameter than the substrate holes to facilitate standoff between the first substrate and the second substrate, as later discussed.
Spacer 16 comprises ridges 60. In a preferred embodiment, spacer 16 is formed by extrusion or broaching to form longitudinal ridges 60. Longitudinal channels 30 are defined between ridges 60 and are plated with a conductive material, such as copper, to form a metallic strip 32. Metallic strip 32 forms an electrically conductive path that runs continuously from first shoulder 48 to second shoulder 50. Ridges 60, which are formed of a dielectric material, electrically isolate each of the metallic strips 32.
Spacer 16 defines a longitudinal cavity 46. Cavity 46 includes at least one feature indicative of rotational orientation of spacer 16. In a preferred embodiment, cavity 46 is square, and is suitable for receiving a square-ended tool for rotating spacer 16. Cavity 46 has an opening 64 at first end 26. In this manner, spacer 16 can be rotated to a predetermined orientation to orient metallic strip 32 with first circuit trace 20 and second circuit trace 24.
FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of first substrate 12 and second substrate 14 with spacer 16 disposed therebetween. First substrate 12 and second substrate 14 are preferably ceramic substrates, but could alternately be a printed circuit board, a printed wiring board, a flexible substrate, or the like. First substrate 12 includes a first receptacle 18, a first inner face 52, and a first outer face 54 opposite first inner face 52. Second substrate 14 includes a second receptacle 22, a second inner face 56, and a second outer face 58 opposite second inner face 56. In a preferred embodiment, first receptacle 18 is a first through-hole and second receptacle 22 is a second through-hole. The through-holes have a diameter that is slightly greater than the diameter of first end 26 and second end 28 at first and second shoulders 48 and 50, respectively, and less than the diameter of midsection 44. In this manner, first end 26 will be received in first receptacle 18 and second end 28 will be received in second receptacle 22, while midsection 44 will be prevented from extending through receptacle 18 or receptacle 22. Consequently, first shoulder 48 abuts first substrate 12 and second shoulder 50 abuts second substrate 14 to place midsection 44 in a predetermined position between first substrate 12 and second substrate 14. This spaces substrate 12 from substrate 14.
FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of assembly 10 taken along line 2--2 in FIG. 1. In a preferred embodiment, receptacles 18 and 22 are through-holes, and ends 26 and 28 extend into receptacles 18 and 22 but do not protrude from substrates 12 and 14, thereby allowing components or additional substrates to be connected to first substrate 12 at first outer face 54 or second substrate 14 at second outer face 58.
Spacer 16 is connected to first substrate 12 by first conductive connection 36 and to second substrate 14 by second conductive connection 38. In a preferred embodiment, first conductive connection 36 and second conductive connection 38 are composed of a solder alloy to form a first solder interconnection that electrically connects metallic strip 32 to first circuit trace 20 and a second solder interconnection that electrically connects metallic strip 32 to second circuit trace 24. In this example, first conductive connection 36 and second conductive connection 38 preferably are solder fillets. In an alternate embodiment, the connections are formed of a conductive epoxy body composed of conductive particles dispersed in an epoxy matrix. Conductive connections 36 and 38 are preferably formed inboard of substrates 12 and 14.
Multi-board assembly 10 is thus formed by inserting first end 26 of spacer 16 into first receptacle 18 such that first shoulder 48 abuts first inner face 52. Spacer 16 is then aligned to a predetermined orientation by orienting via cavity 46 such that metallic strips 32 align with a first conductive connection 36. Second end 28 is then inserted into second receptacle 22 such that second shoulder 50 abuts second inner face 56. First end 26 and second end 28 will self-align due to their tapered, partially conical shape. The assembly is then formed into an integral assembly by bonding spacer 16 to first substrate 12 and second substrate 14, preferably by heating to reflow solder formed where metallic strip 32 is adjacent to first conductive connection 36 and second connective connection 38 to form an integral, multi-board assembly 10.
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a spacer 116 in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the present invention. Spacer 116 is formed of a nonconductive body 115 and includes a plurality of channels 130 formed between ridges 160. First shoulder 148 radially extends between first end 126 and midsection 144. Second shoulder 150 radially extends between midsection 144 and second end 128. Channels 130 are plated with a metallic plate 132 that extends from first shoulder 148 to second shoulder 150 to form a continuous conductive path. Each plate 132 is electrically isolated by dielectric ridges 160. Spacer 116 is formed of three partially conical portions that are longitudinally centered about axis 111. First end 126 has a smaller diameter at first shoulder 148 than midsection 144, which in turn has a smaller diameter at second shoulder 150 than second end 128.
FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of spacer 116 connected to a first substrate 112 and a second substrate 114 to form multi-board electronic assembly 110 in accordance with the alternate embodiment. Second substrate 114 includes a second inner face 156, a second outer face 158 opposite inner face 156, and a second circuit trace 124 located on inner face 156. Spacer 116 is positioned such that first end 126 and midsection 144 are received in second through-hole 122, such that second shoulder 150 abuts second outer face 158.
Spacer 116 includes a longitudinal cavity 146 that includes an opening 164 at first end 126. Opening 164 is sized and shaped to receive a tool for orienting spacer 116 in a particular direction. Once spacer 116 has been extended through second through-hole 122, opening 164 facilitates rotation of spacer 116 such that metallic plates 132 align with second circuit traces 124.
First substrate 112 includes a first outer face 154, a first inner face 152 opposite outer face 154, and a first circuit trace 120 located on first outer face 154. First end 126 is then extended through first through-hole 118 such that first shoulder 148 abuts first inner face 152. Once spacer 116 has been oriented to a predetermined position, first conductive connection 136 and second conductive connection 138 are formed to electrically connect first circuit trace 120 and second circuit trace 124 to metallic plate 132. First conductive connection 136 and second conductive connection 138 are preferably formed of solder, but could also be formed of a conductive epoxy. Spacer 116 is electrically and mechanically connected to first substrate 112 by first conductive connection 136 and to second substrate 114 by second conductive connection 138, which are preferably formed of a solder alloy but can alternately be formed of a conductive epoxy resin. In this manner, a multi-board microelectronic assembly 110 is formed that includes multiple substrates connected in parallel, spaced relation.
Thus, the present invention provides a multi-board, compact, interconnected electronic assembly. A spacer is disposed between a first substrate and a second substrate and facilitates connection of circuit traces on the substrates. The spacer physically joins the substrates into an integral assembly and connects circuits on the two substrates for conducting electrical signals between the two substrates.
Although the present invention has been described with a generally cylindrical spacer, the spacer may be formed in any shape that mates with receptacles in a first substrate and a second substrate. Further, the receptacles do not need to go through the substrates, but can be a closed receptacle that receives the ends of the spacer. In this manner, surface area available on the outboard surface of the substrate is not diminished by the receptacle, but can be utilized for mounting components or routing traces. Additionally, the through-holes in the substrates can be formed in areas of the substrates such that integrated circuit components overlie the through-hole. The connections to the integrated circuit component are formed about the through-hole such that utilization of the substrate is increased.
While this invention has been described in terms of certain examples thereof, it is not intended that it be limited to the above description, but rather only to the extent set forth in the claims that follow.

SLIPShort for Serial Line Internet Protocol, a protocol for connection to the Internet via a dial-up connection. Developed in the 80s when modem communications typically were limited to 2400 bps, it was designed for simple communication over serial lines. SLIP can be used on RS-232 serial ports and supports asynchronous links.
A more common protocol is PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) because it is faster and more reliable and supports functions that SLIP does not, such as error detection, dynamic assignment of IP addresses and data compression.
In general, Internet service providers offer only one protocol although some support both protocols.

There is common term in electric vehicle circles: "range anxiety". This is the fear that your electric car doesn't have enough charge to get where you want to go. I've only just realised how unique one of the built in features of the Better Place electric car I've ordered is. It is a prediction of your battery's state of charge at the end of your journey linked in with the car's GPS satellite navigation system.
When I drove to the battery switch station the other day, we used the trip computer and the screen at the start of the journey is presented above. I'll explain what it shows:
- We start the journey with a 99% full battery (bottom left of the picture).
- First destination (1) is in 12km and will be reached at 12:32 and with the battery at 86%.
- Because the destination (1) is a battery switch station (see the video here) the computer assumes we'll pick up a new battery!
- Destination (2) is actually back to the Better Place visitor centre. We will return there with a 90% charge.
- We didn't actually swap the battery so when we got back in the car and started the return journey, the computer compensated accordingly.
I can report these numbers were pretty accurate. I'll know more when I actually have a car for a much longer time but on a first try out it worked very nicely. I'm told the system will allow you to have multiple drivers and will learn to account for differing driving styles. I believe the car I drove was mostly used for tests on Better Place's 1km track so it had been pushed hard and assumed it would be driven hard.
The other important part of the system is what happens if you punch in a destination beyond the range of your battery. A simple prompt tells you and asks if you want to fix this. If you select yes, it then re-routes you via appropriate battery switch stations as needed to get to your destination with a reasonable safety margin.
I didn't realise this feature was so unique but I've been reading online about owners of the Nissan Leaf and they report a fluctuating estimate of remaining range and no mention of any feature like this. I'd be keen to know if any other production EV's offer something like this.
Once again Better Place has taken the Renault Fluence ZE and, with the addition of smart software and network, made it better than the sum of it's parts.

Excited to be heading to Nashville the first week of November to do some co-writing with Joe Beck, both Grammy Award winner as well as Dove Award winner for songs in Country and Contemporary Christian markets! Pray for a productive time of writing together. This connection was made through A.C.T. Int'l, as they brought Joe on board to work with a few select artists with the group. Honored, I am one of the 3 or 4 he chose to work with!
Also on the horizon will be the release of our long awaited Christmas EP! Stay tuned! We are working hard to complete it in time for our Christmas Tour in December!

Thank you brother BMZ for your clarifying notes and comments.<quoted text>
Well said and a great post.
Enjoyed reading your brilliant and helpful post, MUQ and I agree with that.
Barnabas was the one, who had asked the elders to grant fellow-ship to Paul and that is how both became friends.
The split between Barnabas and Paul is quite clear in Acts 15:36-41 and you will be surprised to know that the same Paul, who opposed Mark's choice, considered him useless, asked Timothy the following, after Barnabas was out:
"Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry."
And see what Paul wrote in Colossians:
"My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas.(You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) "
Barnabas out, Mark in again!
So, Paul used Mark as he had no real knowledge.
As for the Church, Paul's lies had already been accepted and established. There was no way the Church could kick Paul out and bring back Barnabas. So, Barnabas was erased.
I believe that there were serious differences between Paul and Barnabas. Barnabas sat in the company of Jesus, Paul did not.
Why only Branabas? Paul fell out with Every other Disciple of Jesus! With Peter, with James and with elders at Jerusalem.
Once he got "Nominal acceptance" at Jerusalem (mainly due to efforts of Barnabas), he distanced himself from them and went to work amongst Gentiles and Romans and others who knew very little of the theology.
These people were idol worshippers, so it was very "natural" for them to digest that God has taken a human form and come and visit earth.
No Jew will digest this or accept this or be silent on this. So the "tug of war" between Paul and Disciples of Jesus started at a very early age.
These Gospels were "combat writings" and not "Pure Scripture".
Salaam and Regards.

ABC Airs Two-Hour Premiere of New Series THE TASTE Tonight
One blind spoonful could change everything, on the all new alternative series, THE TASTE, premiering with a two-hour show TONIGHT, JANUARY 22 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET; the show moves to its regular 8:00-9:00 p.m. time period on January 29), on The ABC Television Network.
An exhilarating new one-hour cooking competition, "The Taste" puts 16 culinary competitors -- pro chefs to home cooks -- to the fire when four of the world's most notable masters of the food world judge their creations based on a blind taste test.
In this pressure-packed contest, The Taste in a single spoonful can catapult a contender to the top or send him packing. "The Taste" features no-holds barred chef Anthony Bourdain, British food star Nigella Lawson, expert chef/author Ludo Lefebvre and chef/restaurateur Brian Malarkey. Each of the four culinary superstars and "Taste" mentors - Bourdain, Lawson, Lefebvre and Malarkey - will coach a team of four competing pro and amateur cooks chosen from a nationwide casting call, as they vie to create the best tasting dish in a state of the art kitchen. In each episode, the groups will face team and individual challenges with a variety of culinary themes through several elimination rounds.
At the end of each episode, the mentors will have to judge the competitors' dishes blind, with no knowledge of whose creation they're sampling, what they're eating, how it was prepared or whom they could be sending home.
"The Taste" is from Kinetic Content and is executive-produced by Chris Coelen, Matilda Zoltowski, Emma Conway, Anthony Bourdain and Nigella Lawson. BrIan Smith is the director.
