Ismail I (July 17, 1487 – May 23, 1524), known in Persian as Shāh Ismāʿil, (Azerbaijani: Şah İsmayıl Səfəvi, شاه اسماعیل, Persian: شاه اسماعیل; full name: Abū l-Muzaffar bin Haydar as-Safavī), was Shah of Iran (1501)[5][6] and the founder of the Safavid dynasty which survived until 1736. Isma'il started his campaign in Iranian Azerbaijan in 1500 as the leader of the Safaviyya, a Twelver Shia militant religious order, and unified all of Iran by 1509.[7] Born in Ardabil in Northwestern Iran, he reigned as Shah Ismail I of Iran from 1501 to 1524.
The dynasty founded by Ismail I would rule for two centuries, it was one of the greatest Persian empires after the Muslim conquest of Persia[8][9][10][11] it also reasserted the Iranian identity in Greater Iran,[12] the legacy of the Safavid Empire was also the revival of Persia as an economic stronghold between East and West, the establishment of an efficient state and bureaucracy, their architectural innovations and their patronage for fine arts.
Ismail played a key role in the rise of Twelver Islam; he converted Iran from Sunni to Shi'a Islam, importing religious authorities from the Levant.[13] In Alevism, Shah Ismail remains revered as a spiritual guide.
Ismail was also a prolific poet who, under the pen name Khatā'ī (which means "sinner" in Arabic) contributed greatly to the literary development of the Azerbaijani language.[14] He also contributed to Persian literature, though few of his Persian writings are still in existence.[15]
Ismail was born to Martha and Shaykh Haydar on July 17, 1487 in Ardabil. His father, Haydar, was the sheikh of the Safaviyya Sufi order and a direct descendant of its Kurdish[16][17][18] founder, Safi-ad-din Ardabili (1252–1334). Ismail was the last in line of hereditary Grand Masters of the Safaviyah Sufi order, prior to his ascent to a ruling dynasty. His mother Martha, better known as Halima Begum, was the daughter of Uzun Hasan by his Pontic Greek wife Theodora Megale Komnene, better known as Despina Khatun.[19] Despina Khatun was the daughter of Emperor John IV of Trebizond. (She had married Uzun Hassan in a deal to protect Trebizond from the Ottomans.[20]) Ismail grew up bilingual, speaking Persian and Azerbaijani.[21][22]
In 700/1301, Safi al-Din assumed the leadership of the Zahediyeh, a significant Sufi order in Gilan, from his spiritual master and father-in-law Zahed Gilani. Due to the great spiritual charisma of Safi al-Din, the order was later known as the Safaviyya. Like his father and grandfather Ismail headed the Safaviyya sufi order. An invented genealogy claimed that Sheikh Safi (the founder of the order and Ismael's ancestor) was a lineal descendant of Ali. Ismail also proclaimed himself the Mahdi and a reincarnation of Ali.[23]
In 1488, the father of Ismail was killed in a battle against the forces of the Shirvanshah king Farrukh Yassar and the Aq Qoyunlu, in 1494 the Aq Qoyunlu Turks captured Ardabil, killing Ali Mirza Safavi (the eldest son of Haydar), and forcing the 7 year old Ismail to go into hiding in Gilan, where he received education under the guidance of renowned scholars.
When Ismail reached the age of 12, he came out of hiding and returned to Iranian Azerbaijan along with his followers. Ismail's advent to power was due to Turkoman tribes of Anatolia and Azerbaijan, who formed the most important part of the Qizilbash movement.[24]
Campaigns in Iran[edit]
In the summer of 1500, about 7000 Qizilbash forces, consisted of Ustaclu, Shamlu, Rumlu, Tekelu, Zhulkadir, Afshar, Qajar and Varsak tribes, responded to the invitation of Ismail in Erzincan.[25] Qizilbash forces passed over the Kura River in November 1500, and marched towards the Shirvanshah's state. They defeated the forces under the Shirvanshah Farrukh Yassar near Cabanı (present-day Shamakhi Rayon, Azerbaijan), and conquered Baku.[26] In July 1501, Ismail was enthroned as Shah of Azerbaijan,[27] choosing Tabriz, Azerbaijan, as his capital. When the Safavids came to power in 1501, Shah Ismail was 14 years old; by 1510 he had conquered whole Iran.[28] After defeating the Aq Qoyunlu in 1502, he took the title of Shah of Iran.[6]
When Ismail captured Iraq he began destroying Sunni sites in Baghdad including tombs of Abbasid Caliphs, tombs of Sunni Imam Abū Ḥanīfah and Abdul Qadir Gilani.[29]
In 1510, Ismail I moved against the Uzbeks. In battle near the city of Merv, some 17,000 Qizilbash warriors ambushed and defeated a superior Uzbek force numbering 28,000. The Uzbek ruler, Muhammad Shaybani, was caught and killed trying to escape the battle and the shah had his skull made into a jewelled drinking goblet.[30]
War against the Ottomans and death[edit]
In 1514, Selim I, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, attacked Ismail's kingdom. Selim and Ismail had been exchanging a series of belligerent letters prior to the attack.
Selim I defeated Ismail at the battle of Chaldiran in 1514.[31] Ismail's army was more mobile and their soldiers were better prepared but the Ottomans prevailed due in large part to their efficient modern army, and possession of artillery, black powder and muskets. Ismail was wounded and almost captured in battle. Selim I entered the Iranian capital of Tabriz in triumph on September 5,[32] but did not linger. A mutiny among his troops fearing a counterattack and entrapment by the fresh Safavid forces called in from the interior, forced the triumphant Ottomans to withdraw prematurely. This allowed Ismail to recover quickly. Among the booties from Tabriz was Ismail's favorite wife, for whose release the Sultan demanded huge concessions, which were refused. Despite his defeat at the Battle of Chaldiran, Ismail quickly recovered most of his kingdom, from east of the Lake Van to the shores of the Indian Ocean.
The venetian ambassador Caterino Zeno describes the events as follows:
" | The monarch [Selim], seeing the slaughter, began to retreat, and to turn about, and was about to fly, when Sinan, coming to the rescue at the time of need, caused the artillery to be brought up and fired on both the janissaries [sic] and the Persians. The Persian horses hearing the thunder of those infernal machines, scattered and divided themselves over the plain, not obeying their riders bit or spur anymore, from the terror they were in.... It is certainly said, that if it had not been for the artillery, which terrified in the manner related the Persian horses which had never before heard such a din, all his forces would have been routed and put to edge of the sword.[33] | " |
He also adds that:
" | If the Turks had been beaten in the battle of Chaldiran, the power of Ismail would have become greater than that of Tamerlane, as by the fame alone of such a victory he would have made himself absolute lord of the East.[34] | " |
After the Battle of Chaldiran, Ismail lost his supernatural air and the aura of invincibility, gradually falling into heavy drinking of alcohol.[35] Ismail retired to his palace and withdrew from active participation in the affairs of the state, leaving these to his minister, Mirza Shah-Hussayn.[36] He died on 23 May 1524 at the relatively early age of thirty-six. To consolidate his position and get the Iranians to fight the Ottomans, Ismail then made the Twelver shia the official religion of Iran.
The consequences of the defeat at Chaldiran were also psychological for Ismail: the defeat destroyed Ismail's belief in his invincibility, based on his claimed divine status.[37] His relationships with his Qizilbash followers were also fundamentally altered. The tribal rivalries between the Qizilbash, which temporarily ceased before the defeat at Chaldiran, resurfaced in intense form immediately after the death of Ismail, and led to ten years of civil war (930-40/1524-33) until Shah Tahmasp regained control of the affairs of the state. The Safavids later lost Balkh and Kandahar to the Mughals, and Herat to the Uzbeks.[38]
Ismail died on May 23, 1524 and was buried in Ardabil, he was succeeded by his son Tahmasp I.
Ismail's poetry[edit]
Ismail is also known for his poetry using the pen-name Khatā'ī (Arabic: خطائی "Sinner").[39] According to Encyclopædia Iranica, "Ismail was a skillful poet who used prevalent themes and images in lyric and didactic-religious poetry with ease and some degree of originality". He was also deeply influenced by the Persian literary tradition of Iran, particularly by the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi, which probably explains the fact that he named all of his sons after Shahnameh-characters. Dickson and Welch suggest that Ismail's "Shāhnāmaye Shāhī" was intended as a present to the young Tahmasp.[40] After defeating Muhammad Shaybani's Uzbeks, Ismail asked Hatefi, a famous poet from Jam (Khorasan), to write a Shahnameh-like epic about his victories and his newly established dynasty. Although the epic was left unfinished, it was an example of mathnawis in the heroic style of the Shahnameh written later on for the Safavid kings.[41]
He wrote in the Azerbaijani language,[42] and in the Persian language. He is considered an important figure in the literary history of Azerbaijani language and has left approximately 1400 verses in this language, which he chose to use for political reasons.[42] Approximately 50 verses of his Persian poetry have also survived.
Most of the poems are concerned with love — particularly of the mystical Sufi kind — though there are also poems propagating Shi'i doctrine and Safavi politics. His other serious works include the Nasihatnāme, a book of advice, and the unfinished Dahnāme, a book which extols the virtues of love.
As Ismail believed in his own divinity and in his descent from Ali, in his poems he tended to strongly emphasize these claims.[citation needed]
Along with the poet Imadaddin Nasimi, Khatā'ī is considered to be among the first proponents of using a simpler Azeri language in verse that would thereby appeal to a broader audience. His work is most popular in Azerbaijan, as well as among the Bektashis of Turkey. There is a large body of Alevi and Bektashi poetry that has been attributed to him. The major impact of his religious propaganda, in the long run, was the conversion of Persia from Sunni to Shia Islam.[43]
The following anecdote demonstrates the status of vernacular Turkish and Persian in the Ottoman Empire and in the incipient Safavid state. Khatā'ī sent a poem in Turkish to the Ottoman Sultan Selim I before going to war in 1514. In a reply the Ottoman Sultan answered in Persian to indicate his contempt.
One of the examples of his poetry are:[44]
My name is Shāh Ismā'īl. I am God's mystery. I am the leader of all these ghāzīs.
My mother is Fātima, my father is 'Ali; and eke I am the Pīr of the Twelve Imāms.
I have recovered my father's blood from Yazīd. Be sure that I am of Haydarian essence.
I am the living Khidr and Jesus, son of Mary. I am the Alexander of (my) contemporaries.
Look you, Yazīd, polytheist and the adept of the Accursed one, I am free from the Ka'ba of hypocrites.
In me is Prophethood (and) the mystery of Holiness. I follow the path of Muhammad Mustafā.
I have conquered the world at the point of (my) sword. I am the Qanbar of Murtadā 'Ali.
My sire is Safī, my father Haydar. Truly I am the Ja'far of the audacious.
I am a Husaynid and have curses for Yazīd. I am Khatā'ī, a servant of the Shāh's.
Emergence of a clerical aristocracy[edit]
An important feature of the Safavid society was the alliance that emerged between the ulama (the religious class) and the merchant community. The latter included merchants trading in the bazaars, the trade and artisan guilds (asnaf) and members of the quasi-religious organizations run by dervishes (futuvva). Because of the relative insecurity of property ownership in Persia, many private landowners secured their lands by donating them to the clergy as so called vaqf. They would thus retain the official ownership and secure their land from being confiscated by royal commissioners or local governors, as long as a percentage of the revenues from the land went to the ulama. Increasingly, members of the religious class, particularly the mujtahids and the seyyeds, gained full ownership of these lands, and, according to contemporary historian Iskandar Munshi, Persia started to witness the emergence of a new and significant group of landowners.[45]
Appearance and skills[edit]
An Italian traveller describes Ismail as follows:
" | This Sophi is fair, handsome, and very pleasing; not very tall, but of a light and well-framed figure; rather stout than slight, with broad shoulders. His hair is reddish; he only wears moustachios, and uses his left hand instead of his right. He is as brave as a game cock, and stronger than any of his lords; in the archery contests, out of the ten apples that are knocked down, he knocks down seven.[38] | " |
Ismail's greatest legacy was establishing an enduring empire which lasted over 200 years. Even after the fall of Safavids in 1736, their cultural and political influence endured through the era of Afsharid, Zand, Qajar, and Pahlavi dynasties into the modern Islamic Republic of Iran, where Shi'a Islam is still the official religion as it was during the Safavids.

Excerpt from pg 259:"Доказательства, имеющиеся в настоящее время, приводят к уверенности, что семья Сефевидов имеет местное иранское происхождение, а не тюркское, как это иногда утверждают. Скорее всего, семья возникла в Персидском Курдистане, а затем перебралась в Азербайджан, где ассимилировалась с говорящими по-тюркски азерийцами, и в конечном итоге поселились в маленьком городе Ардебиль где-то в одиннадцатом веке [Evidence available at the present time leads to the conviction that the Safavid family came from indigenous Iranian stock, and not from Turkish ancestry as it is sometimes claimed. It is probable that the family originated in Persian Kurdistan, and later moved to Azerbaijan, where it became assimilated to Turkic-speaking Azeris and eventually settled in the small town of Ardabil sometime during the eleventh century.]".

[The question of the language used by Shah Ismail is not identical with that of his race or of his "nationality". His ancestry was mixed: one of his grandmothers was a Greek Comnena princess. Hinz, Aufstieg, 74, comes to the conclusion that the blood in his veins was chiefly non-Turkish. Already, his son Shah Tahmasp began to get rid of his Turcoman praetorians.] — V.

Works super-well, but it's heavy.Pros: The suction is really good without the hose attachment on, and the rotating brush really pulls pet hair away — we have a cat with really long, fine hair that's impossible to get out any other way. Cons: I have three cons for this model: Other Thoughts: Overall, I really like how this removes the cat hair from various places in the house. Our cat sleeps on our bed and I can vacuum sheets and the blanket to remove the hair every couple of days. It's great for making sure the hair is gone before washing the bedding.

Facebook's vigilance in keeping it real took some HAL 9000 liberties yesterday when perhaps thousands of accounts — seemingly all women — were deactivated by a bug in a system designed to weed out fake profiles.
Zach Epstein of BGR (Boy Genius Report) broke the story and received confirmation from Facebook about the wave of account shut-downs, in which the affected users took the usual route of Twitter complaints to voice their displeasure. A common pattern soon emerged: this bug, which some thought was a hack at first, seemed to hit only women.
Facebook's response to BGR:
Earlier today, we discovered a bug in a system designed to detect and disable likely fake accounts. The bug, which was live for a short period of time, caused a very small percentage of Facebook accounts to be mistakenly disabled. Upon discovering the bug, we immediately worked to resolve it. It's now been fixed, and we're in the process of reactivating and notifying the people who were affected.
While there are no concrete numbers on the "very small percentage," BGR speculates that could easily number in the thousands given the 500 million users of the site.
But Facebook's solution may be making an already bad situation worse: requiring scans of official identification to reactivate the accounts.
A BGR commenter posted the instructions Facebook gave her, and her reaction to it, which does not bode well for furthering trust with the social media network:
I was also disabled this morning. This is what it says I must do :
"Please upload a government-issued ID to this report and make sure that your full name, date of birth, and photo are clear. You should also black out any personal information that is not needed to verify your identity (e.g., social security number).
If you do not have access to a scanner, a digital image of your photo ID will be accepted as well. Rest assured that we will permanently delete your ID from our servers once we have used it to verify the authenticity of your account."I follow their terms of use, I do not have multiple accounts. Asking for a copy of my ID is just INSANE!
Her's isn't the only response like this, so Facebook may be wise to heed this outrage and play nice. It's not their fault their accounts were flagged, and now they feel they're being penalized on top of the inconvenience of being labeled "inauthentic."
A Facebook group "Against Verifying Accounts With Mobile/ Credit Card/ Government Issued ID" already existed before the bug (thanks to ReadWriteWeb for the tip), but this latest incident has solidified its resolve, as is apparent from this latest wall post:
Don't have to prove you exist to join originally. Don't have to prove you exist if the bug didn't attack you. Seems ridiculous that you have to prove you exist in order to get a legit account undisabled...
Kansas City designer Brian Ford was the one who tipped BGR off after receiving an e-mail alerting him to his wife's disabled Facebook account. In his blog about it, he raises underlying issues that, sooner or later, Facebook needs to address definitively:
Why force people to freak the hell out on Twitter? Why not deploy a system which drops a dismissible banner notification across the top of every Facebook page until the problem is fixed? Facebook has a real problem with transparency and that seems like such an easy problem to solve.
Most, if not all of these accounts, will get reactivated. Question is, after all this, will they still want it?

Tale of the tape
Week 16: San Francisco 49ers At Seattle Seahawks
Colin Kaepernick is a talented and athletic quarterback who has performed extremely well since head coach Jim Harbaugh shocked the NFL and named him the starter over Alex Smith at midseason. Kaepernick has a superb throwing motion, reads defenses well and can make big plays by running with the football. | Quarterback | Russell Wilson has been sensational for the Seahawks. While he was clearly the third quarterback in the rookie class behind Andrew Luck and RGIII, he does not have to take a backseat to either of them. Wilson has a 95.9 passer rating, he has thrown for 2,697 yards and has a 21-to-9 TD-interception ratio. He has also rushed for 402 yards. |
The power, strength and skill of running back Frank Gore is the most dependable aspect of the 49ers' solid offense. He is a punishing runner who weakens opposing tacklers as the game moves along. Wide receivers Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham and Randy Moss give Kaepernick a plethora of receivers. Tight end Vernon Davis can find the seams in the defense. | Offense | The Seahawks tend to mirror the 49ers in offensive game plans. Both have mobile,gutsy and talented young quarterbacks and both have power running backs. Marshawn Lynch has rushed for 1,379 yards and 10 touchdowns. Wide receiver Sidney Rice can be a big-play maker while Golden Tate is a solid complementary receiver. |
The 49ers are one of the dominant defensive teams in the league and their headliner is outside linebacker Aldon Smith, who has a league-high 19.5 sacks. Linebacker NaVorro Bowman may be the fastest player at his position in the league and he leads the team with 128 tackles. Powerful defensive lineman Justin Smith can be a dominant performer. | Defense | The Seahawks are the third-ranked overall defense and third-best defense against the pass. The Seahawks are very aggressive at home and they will attempt to pressure Kaepernick throughout the game. Defensive end Chris Clemons leads the Seahawks with 11.5 sacks. Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner leads the team with 121 tackles. |
Punter Andy Lee has been very dependable, averaging 48.1 yards per punt. However, David Akers has not been as dependable. He has missed 10 of his 35 FG attempts this season. The 49ers have a pair of explosive return men in Ted Ginn Jr. and Kyle Williams. | Special Teams | The Seahawks always give a quality effort on special teams. Leon Washington's consistency as a return man could be the difference in this game. Steven Hauschka has been solid for the Seahawks, making 22-of-25 field goal attempts this season. |
We'll just call it a tie

Retired Duluth judge looks back at politics on the bench at LWV 'Equali-Tea' celebration
Election season may be months away, but members of the League of Women Voters in Duluth are not taking a break from their ongoing discussion of political issues.
Election season may be months away, but members of the League of Women Voters in Duluth are not taking a break from their ongoing discussion of political issues.
The nonpartisan political organization is hosting its fifth annual "Equali-Tea" celebration and fundraiser later this month. This year's theme is impartial judiciary, and will feature remarks from retired Duluth attorney and judge Carol Person.
"This is an annual event for the League of Women Voters in Duluth, something we've been doing for several years to celebrate suffrage," said event organizer Nancy Bratrud. "We chose tea because this is way that original founders got together to discuss the need for women to vote. And it's something they fought for many years."
The event not only serves as a celebration of voting rights and a political discussion, but also as a fundraiser for the organization. Tickets are sold for $25 apiece, which helps fund operating expenses for the League of Women voters.
This year's theme of impartial judiciary was selected to coincide with the League of Women Voters' support for an amendment to the Minnesota constitution that would institute a judicial evaluation process.
Person, who served as a judge for Minnesota's Sixth Judicial District from 1993 to 2004, will speak about the importance of judicial impartiality. Minnesota's Sixth Judicial District serves the Arrowhead Region in Carlton, Cook, Lake and St. Louis Counties.
"The league does a wonderful job of trying to gather facts and form nonpartisan opinions," she said. "I support the league continuing to investigate the issue and investigate what changes should be made. I don't intend to endorse any particular reform, but just talk about how important it is."
The issue of judicial impartiality has been raised following a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down a clause in Minnesota's
judicial code that barred judicial candidates from discussing stances on political and legal issues that could be brought before them in the courtroom. In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that the clause violated the First Amendment.
Since that time, judges have been able to announce party affiliation, seek and accept endorsements and directly ask for campaign contributions. Bratrud said that puts Minnesota at risk of having judicial elections turn into political races.
"All we need to do is look to Wisconsin to see how this looks," she
said. "There we're seeing millions of dollars pumped into campaigns every time a judgeship comes up."
Person said she believes Minnesota has one of the stronger judicial selection processes in the country, but the Supreme Court ruling is a slippery slope.
"There may be candidates who want to be judges who come along and say, 'I will exercise the rights that the Supreme Court says I have. I don't care if that makes the process more partial,'" she said. "Thankfully, the judges that I have known take their oath seriously. Their oath is to follow the law, no matter their personal views or opinions or life experiences. You have to follow the law and apply the law."
Melanie Ford, a Duluth attorney and former St. Louis County Attorney, is involved with organizing the League of Women Voters event. She said the issue is something she's interested in because as an attorney, she would feel uncomfortable with judges who have taken political stances and openly accepted contributions.
"If an insurance company wasn't paying up to a client of mine and I know the insurance company has made contributions to the judge, it would make me wonder how impartial that judge really is," she said. "This is something we don't really want to have happen in Minnesota.
Under the amendment proposed by the League of Women Voters, each judge would be subject to an evaluation by a large committee of citizens at the end of his or her term. The evaluation would be distributed to the public, and voters would be asked whether or not to retain the judge. If voters removed the judge from office, the governor would appoint a new judge.
Currently, the Minnesota Commission on Judicial Selection recommends district court judicial candidates to the governor, although he is not obligated
to select from that list. The amendment would change that, requiring the
governor to choose one of three recommendations.
The League of Women Voters Minnesota branch has made it a priority to address judicial partisanship since the 2002 Supreme Court decision.
"Courts are the basis of democracy," said Bratrud, who has worked on the statewide reform effort. "Lawmaking and law enforcement are one thing, but interpretation is where rubber hits road. If judges are even thought to be impractical, this can ruin whole process."
While the issue is an important one for league members, Bratrud said the upcoming tea party will be more celebratory than political.
It will be a 1920s- or '30s-style party, she said, not only because women achieved the right to vote during that time, but also because many of the members are hooked on the popular British television program "Downton Abbey," which is also set in the early 20th century. Hats and other fashions from the period will be available for rent and sale at the event.

The Guide 10 Plus is only compatible with NiMh rechargeable batteries not Li-Ion batteries, so it would not work with the specific batteries you mentioned. If you have any additional questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly at either firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-888-794-6250.Q:
I have a couple NiMH AA and AAA batteries from energizer and duracell. They are deeply discharged and no longer charge in my Energizer Smart charger. Does the Guide 10 power pack have the capability of reviving or reactivating these discharged batteries? Would the PIXO recharger work better for this purpose, or can it only "reactivate" Li-Ion and Li-PO batteries as stated in the specifications?1 answer
The Guided 10 Plus is a battery pack and charger. It would depend on your batteries if the Guide 10 Plus would be able to reactivate them. Your batteries may be at the end of their life cycle. The PIXO recharger is specifically for Li-Ion and Li-PO batteries, so it would not work for your NiMH batteries. If you have any additional questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly at either email@example.com or 1-888-794-6250.Q:
I was told it is best to always have the guide 10 chained in between the Nomad 7 and my desired USB device to get a more efficient charge. So I would be charging both my device and the guide 10 at the same time. Is this true?1 answer
You can absolutely charge your device that way. You can charge directly from a panel, it is not always the most consistent flow of energy because its efficiency is affected by current conditions. Some devices do better with a controlled flow of energy. By putting the Guide 10 Plus between your panel and your device, it will offer a consistent, controlled flow of energy to your device. I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact us at either email@example.com or 1-888-794-6250.Q:
Will I be able to charge less than 4 batteries in guide 10?3 answers
yes and no! love it. So which is itA:
Yes this item can charge anywhere from 1 through 4 batteries.A:
No, the way the Guide 10 Plus is designed, you would need all 4 batteries in at once to charge. You can order more batteries online http://www.goalzero.com/shop/p/94/AAA-Rechargeable-Batteries-(4-Pack)/4:6/, http://www.goalzero.com/shop/p/9/AARechargeable--Batteries-(4-pack)/4:6/. Or by calling us directly at 1-888-794-6250.Q:
Can this product charge an "iPad mini"?2 answers
You would not be able to fully charge your iPad mini with the Guide 10 Plus, but would be able to give it a good boost.A:
Yes, this kit will charge tablets as well as cell phones, smartphones, MP3 players, e-readers, headlamps, GPS, cameras and personal gaming devices.Q:
I realize your Guide 10 Plus Power pack has an LED light in it, but can you use either your USB Firefly or Luna light with this power pack as well?2 answers
Absolutely! You can use both the Firefly and Luna lights with the Guide 10 Plus. (You can also use the Whisper Fan as well!)A:
Yes, if both of your products have USB cords.Q:
If I used two of these chained to charge a single battery pack, then swapped with the second, would it offer any benefit over using them independently with their own pack?2 answers
The amount of time it takes to charge the Guide 10 Plus is dictated by the super charge cable. The max that the solar charge cable will provide is 7 watts per hour. We recommend charging them individually. We would recommend charging each Guide 10 Plus with a Nomad 7 at the same time.A:
The company recommends that you charge them independently. A one on one charge is more efficient.Q:
will this be able to charge sanyo eneloop batteries if i want instead of using the goal zero aa aaa's?1 answer
Yes. The Guide 10 Plus can use NiMh rechargeable AA and AAA batteries.Q:
Hi,1 answer
The Guide 10 Plus Kit has a Nomad 7 solar panel that can provide up to 7 watts of power. It is likely that your 12V connection through your battery charger requires more wattage than the Nomad 7 can provide. We do recommend charging devices through the Guide 10 Plus battery pack itself. We offer the Pixo Camera Battery charger that can recharge camera batteries through the USB output on the G10 Plus. http://www.goalzero.com/shop/p/161/Pixo-Universal-Charger-for-Cameras/4:10/Q:
Just bought a pack of Goal Zero rechargable AAA batteries (incl adapter),but noticed the manufacture date on the batteries is one year ago. (They've been on the store shelf a year). Will that affect their overall performance? Should I return them or discharge them asap?2 answers
The shelf life is 6 months. You are welcome to try them out or return them. We do offer a one year warranty on all our products with proof of purchase. If they aren't working properly please contact our Support Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-888-794-6250A:
If you just purchased them and the date is out over a year please return them to the store.Q:
Hello, I just purchased the Goal 10 Plus. The Outside of box says "Now charges ipad" yet the instruction inside said "WON'T charge tablets"... (Ipad is a tablet?)2 answers
The Guide 10 Plus will give a "boost" to your tablet, but will not provide a full charge. The Guide 10 Plus has 10 watts of power and most tablets require 15-20 watts for a full charge.A:
A tablet takes more energy to charge. It would only provide about 25% of the needed charge for your tablet. Your Ipad uses less power and it charges more efficiently.Q:
Will this work with all nimh AA and AAA batteries, or is there specifics like mah.3 answers
The Guide 10 Plus will work with NiMh AA 2100-2800 mAh and AAA 700-800 mAh batteries.A:
The Guide 10 Plus will work with NiMh AA 2100-2800 mAh and AAA 700-800 mAh batteries.A:
The Guide 10 Plus Solar Kit is compatible with a majority of the Ni-mh AA and AAA batteries on the market.Q:
my husband and i have had the guife 10 and nomad 7 for a little a month or so now. we noticted that the battery pack isnt strong enough to charge his iphone 5. We noticted this because the battery pack was fully charged and immeditately went to red after plugging in. we then plugged in my iphone 4s and it charged no problem. is that how its supposed to be?its not powerful enough for the iphone 5?2 answers
The Guide 10 Plus works fine with the iPhone 5. You may have a defective unit or need to do some troubleshooting. Try charging the iPhone 5 with all the applications closed and see if that helps. If not, please contact our Support Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-888-794-6250 and we can assist you.A:
The Guide 10 Plus cannot charge the Apple iPhone 5. The Guide 10 produces 5V, up to 0.8A max from the mini-USB port and the iPhone 5 requires 1 amp to charge.Q:
Will the Guide 10 be able to charge a Gopro Hero and a Hero 2 as well as 2 Gopro Wifi Backpac and a remote control??2 answers
Yes the Guide 10 Plus has 10 watts of power and can charge a GoPro Hero, Hero 2 and the Wifi Backpac and remote control separately.A:
Go-anywhere, rechargeable battery pack keeps your handheld gear going strong. Charge AA/AAA batteries from the sun or any USB port, then power your phone, MP3, GPS, or perk up your tablet in a pinch. Directly charge a smartphone in 1 hour. Built-in LED light runs for 150+ hours per charge. Charge up removable AA/AAA batteries from USB or sun.Q:
Can I put regular batteries in the Guide 10 to charge a cell phone/device?1 answer
The Guide 10 Plus is only compatible with NiMh rechargeable batteries so you would not be able to use disposable batteries.Q:
I know you can daisy chain multiple solar panels, but can you connect multiple power packs to one solar panel?1 answer
You can chain two Guide 10 Plus units together to charge from the Nomad 7.Q:
can i connect the panels via 12v connector to an inverter to 220v1 answer

I went on a camping weekend with some friends and my new Android. At 10 AM we left the vehicles parked at the end of a road and hiked 12Kms into the woods. At about 2 PM I heard a beep from my phone and it was telling me my battery was very low. I asked about and no one in the party had a way of recharging their phone. They told me they shut off their phones till a pre arranged hour and would contact their family then.
One suggested that I walk back to the cars and recharge my phone off my car. So I trudged the 12Kms back to the car and recharged the phone, cursing all the while, because I was missing out on the afternoon fishing. All the way back to the campsite I mumbled to myself that that would be the last time that would happen to me!
The next week I went on line and researched all kinds of systems that I could use backpacking. I asked a few of my friends and one of them recommended GZ Guide 10 Plus Adventure Kit.
I rushed down to the Paddle Shack and purchased the kit. After two weeks of testing and experimenting I was very confident and happy with my purchase.
The morning of the next camp weekend, I switched on everything on my phone, even the bluetooth. At 2 PM my phone was completly dead. One of the guys laughed and said that it looks like another Marathon walk to charge my phone. You should have seen their faces when I pulled out the GZ and they watched the battery charging light flash on my phone and 2 1/2 hrs later it was fully charged. At 10pm my phone beeped again signaling a low battery. They all started to laugh saying, "Does it work by moolight too?". I then took out the GZ Guide 10 Battery pack, plugged my phone in and "Oh! Man!" was all I could hear when the charging light came on.
The next morning, I recharged the bateries in the GZ Guide 10, topped up my phone's charge, and swithed out the batteries in my backup GPS (2AA) and my flashlight (2AA)and recharged them before I did my PM recharge on my phone.
By the end of the weekend all of my campmates were saying how they had to get a GZ of their own.
That was last May 24 Weekend (4 day camp) and I am still using the kit even on winter camps. I am never without power for all my electronic devices including video cameras. I even bought another GZ Guide 10 Battery Pack to allow me even more power for more devices.
I am one very happy camper!

I bought the three fold solar panel and charging lantern bundle. I got a full charge on my phone one day during my 9 day trip from lake chapaka in WA on up to Danvill also in WA. The solar panel overheated and wouldn't charge the Lanterns internal battery or my smart phone even in the low light shade and it was only 90 degrees in the sunlight. I tried the hand crank on top of the lantern and cranked it one night for two hrs and got 5 mins of light from the darn thing. If it was made for rugged outdoor use then why wasn't it tough enough to do its job? I think the solar panel and the lantern need some major tweaking before you can really expect any real results from these products. Ultimatly I had kept the receit and returned these products after a very frustrating 9 day trip, back to sportsmans warehouse in Silverdale WA.

I purchased the guide 10 with nomad 7 hoping to keep my I phone 4S charged when away from the home and vehicle; even without the guide power pack the nomad handles this task without problems. I also found that handles the charging my Canon Vixia camcorder batteries when used through the 12volt adapter, it took a little longer but got the job done in about 6 hours in full sun. Thanks Goal Zero for a rugged/dependable product!

Comments about Guide 10 Plus Solar Kit:
I carry my Guide 10 Plus Solar Kit to/from work everyday. It charges my iPhone 5 whenever I need it to... and, at least once now, I used the batteries to get me out of a jam at work -- they powered a wireless keyboard when the batteries died right before an important meeting and we didn't have fresh batts available. I walk a mile through the woods to the train everyday and my Guide 10 Plus Solar Kit is light enough that I don't mind carrying it daily. One day this fall, a week or two back, I forgot my flashlight after the time change... and the trail I walk is was pitch black... but I was glad to have the single LED on the Guide 10. It wasn't super bright, but it lit my way and got me home -- which is all I needed.

Used the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus on a long distance backpacking trip and it worked great keeping my iPhone/GPS fully charged every day. Also used it to recharge my camera batteries and flashlight batteries. Worked as advertised and had no problems keeping my iPhone and batteries charged.

Comments about Guide 10 Plus Solar Kit:
The Guide 10 is basically perfect for every day, every where, any time.
I used this for 104 days straight on a 4,700 mile cycling tour across the USA. I had it strapped onto my trailer and let it charge up my iPhone, the Guide 10 battery pack, and my headlamp. I beat the heck out of this thing and it still worked perfectly at the end of the journey. It kept my phone juiced almost always and was easy to use in any situation. Highly recommend to everyone I know.

Comments about Guide 10 Plus Solar Kit:
After using this product for a few months now, I think I'm ready to give a review. First off, in addition to the Guide 10 Plus package, I ordered extra sets of AA and AAA batteries, as well as the Luna LED Light. While I used 1 set of each batteries on a daily usage, mainly for flashlights at work, I wanted an extra set of batteries I could charge, and leave set on the shelf. Well after 3 months of setting on the shelf, both the AA and AAA batteries showed a good charge, as compared with the other sets which I recharged before comparison. So holding a charge over time was a big plus for me. The overall usage was great too. Given the age and limits of AA and AAA batteries, I don't really think I could ask for too much more from them. Using them for lights while working under the hood of a car, I usually charged them once or twice a week. The solar panels work, bottom line. Anyone who has used solar knows it's a slow process (maybe just because of the waiting I don't know), but these will get the job done just fine. They will help keep that phone charged for making calls, playing a game, or watching a movie. Lastly, the Goal Zero line is indeed pricey, but you can feel the quality in there. Nothing feels loose, no rattling, no cheap feeling to the materials. You're paying more because you're getting something worth buying. In the long run you'll save money from not having to constantly replace the cheap junk. The LED light built into the unit wasn't a big selling point for me, but it is handy at times and puts off a decent amount of light. Now if only I could afford one of the big generators.....

It is 1969 and James Bond is about to go solo, recklessly motivated by revenge. A seasoned veteran of the service, 007 is sent to single-handedly stop a civil war in the small West African nation of Zanzarim. Aided by a beautiful accomplice and hindered by the local militia, he undergoes a scarring experience which compels him to ignore M's orders in pursuit of his own brand of justice. Bond's renegade action leads him to Washington, D.C., where he discovers a web of geopolitical intrigue and witnesses fresh horrors. Even if Bond succeeds in exacting his revenge, a man with two faces will come to stalk his every waking moment.

Jefferson City, MO – Less than one year after updating
Missouri's election process, lawmakers are seeking more changes that could
bring in more than $70 million in federal money.
Lawmakers, along with Secretary of State Matt Blunt, outlined a bill today to help the state comply with federal election law.
To qualify for the money in federal grants over the next four years, Missouri must have a centralized voter registration
data-base, plus handicapped-accessible voting machines.
A bill with the changes and others is sponsored by state Senator Anita Yeckel of St. Louis and House member Bill Deeken of Jefferson City. Both are Republicans as is Blunt, who's considering a run for
governor next year.

It depends. If you streaked for isolation with a wire and ended up with a lawn, that's certainly mysterious. If you spread an aliquot of liquid with cells in it, then the lawn makes more sense. If that is the case, I suggest diluting your liquid sample with a bit of growth medium. Maybe try a few plates, at 1/10, 1/100, ect. Those would probably give distinct colonies.

Yes, my plates were spreads of liquid aliquots...I will try your dilution suggestion...Thank you!

"$15.99 for Sunday brunch. That pretty much says it all. Champagne refills and order off the menu for a meal that would cost double that most other places. I splurged (cholesterol-wise) on the chicken fried steak. Probably the best I've had. Large piece of beef with a crispy batter and a light sauce. My wife had an omelette that was equally good. The portions are huge with home-made sliced potatoes. A very good meal and excellent value!"
