1/18/2013-Don't Chuck Chuck
(January 17, 2013)
I don't care one way or the other whether Hagel gets the nomination. I just like slamming those incompetent Washington congressmen in the party of "Hell No." From what I can tell, the problem with Hagel is he's an independent thinker. We independents get in a lot of trouble for not following the official line. It costs us time and money, but we're stuck with our view of the world.
My favorite example of an independent thinker thrown out into the snow is Joe Lieberman, our former senator. He had few friends when he left the Democratic Party and went out on his own. He really only had one ally. The people of Connecticut.

I love this jacket! It is true to its size and is extremely comfy. It works great alone on a chilly morning or can be used for extra warmth over a sweater. I am by nature a cold person, so finding a good lightweight jacket that keeps me warm is hard, but this one has stood up to the test so far. I also love the extremely soft, plush feel! This jacket is my favorite and I could have bought it for a better price anywhere else.
Originally purchased the Mountain Hardwear 'Toasty Tweed Fleece Jacket' (elsewhere) b/c it looked like it had a long torso, which likewise so do I. Unfortunately it was not flattering in the boob area so I sent it back and decided I'd give this one with the 'action panels' on the side a 'go'. I got the 'berry jam / dark plum' one and it is vivid to say the least. I lovvve the colour, have gotten lots of compliments, and it is uber plush. I'm 6', 150 pounds and size Medium fits me perfectly - falls to the hip, I'm happy with the sleeve length and the 'action panels' follow the lines of your body in a much more pleasing way. Pumped to have found a line of fleece (Mountain Hardwear) that works for tall bodies (As an added bonus, it appears to hide stains well and be none the worse for wear after my little girl has dried her hands 'patting the fur' against the nap and back...it's like I'm her giant pink pet kitty...less shedding and hairballs than our real cats so can't complain)
This is a great jacket. I ordered the graphite and it's a beautiful color. Jacket is well made and very warm, however, it didn't fit. I'm 5"7 and hourglass so I ordered the medium, but had too much material in my mid section and the sleeves are a little long. I'm worried that the small may be too tight around my hips, but love the jacket so much I'm going to order it and see! If I planned to wear a few layers I think I could make the medium work, but I'd like it a little more fitted as I only plan to wear a thin sweater underneath.
Great versatile fleece jacket. Light weight warmth that can be worn alone (outside on the trail or inside our your couch) or comfortably under an outer shell. Stretchy side/underarm gusset panels allow for flexible movement when chopping wood, turning the steering wheel, or reaching for snacks (while sitting on your couch). I'd recommend as a perfect layer for almost any activity (except for maybe swimming).
This jacket is so warm and cozy. It is the perfect thing to wear while I'm out on a walk in our neighborhood. I think my sister might be jealous, which makes it an even nicer jacket!!
Ordered this fleece for something warmer and more fitted to wear in the fall and as a layer during the winter. I am 5' 4", 130lbs and the small fits PERFECTLY. It is so warm and comfy and the fit is awesome. The sleeves are the perfect length. Love the zippered pockets for stashing stuff. Will be wearing this casually and maybe for running. So cozy and a great buy. Definitely recommend! =)

The more times I see the word, the less like a word it becomes.
That's when something good happens, isn't it? Something out of the ordinary or the impossible occurs. Winning the lottery. Landing the lead in a Hollywood movie. Me personally, I don't believe in "luck", or people being "lucky", or "making their own luck". The "L" word has never really meant anything to me.
I believe that a predetermined path is set out for each and every one of us, and if something good happens along the way, then a "choice" was made for it to happen. To get from A to B, something must happen in between for us to get there. We are confronted with an opportunity. We can make a choice to take it, leave it or be completely oblivious to it ever being in front of us. If we make the choice to take it, and something good happens, an ignorant person will call you "lucky". If we make the choice to leave it, and something good happens, to that same ignorant person, you're "lucky". The same goes for being completely oblivious to the opportunity. I'd say, if something good comes out of any of them, you made a wise choice, even if you weren't conscious of it at the time. The "C" word isn't always a bad thing.

The British Tinnitus Association (BTA), the only UK charity solely dedicated to supporting those with tinnitus, is kicking off its new 'Talking Tinnitus' campaign by urging the 10% of the population who experience the condition to better support existing self help groups or to establish new ones. The charity believes that if more people had the opportunity to attend a tinnitus support group, that there would be more opportunities to 'talk tinnitus' and ultimately there would be better support for the tinnitus community and beyond.
The charity's Talking Tinnitus campaign aims to get people talking about their tinnitus experiences, and tinnitus support groups are considered an ideal place to do so, in the presence of others who experience the condition who can share experiences, advice and coping strategies.
Currently across the UK there are just 32 tinnitus support groups, whereas previously there have been over 120. The dwindling number of groups in recent years has been the result of a number of factors, yet the BTA is hoping to see this trend reversed and is stepping up its active support of the groups.
David Stockdale, CEO of the BTA, said: "People who experience tinnitus can often feel confused about the symptoms and causes, as well as isolated, which is why our Talking Tinnitus campaign is looking to address this problem by encouraging people to talk about their tinnitus experience and to seek help from others who are also affected."
He continued: "We would like to see more groups established so that many more of the thousands of people who experience tinnitus can gain benefit from others in a friendly and supportive environment. Many find that attending a tinnitus group can be an invaluable source of help and support. They can often be a lifeline to some, especially when members of their family or friends are unable to relate to their experience of tinnitus."
Attending a support group, in conjunction with seeking advice from organisations such as the BTA, GPs and specialist tinnitus clinics, is considered a useful way of managing the condition.
Many tinnitus support groups are run by volunteers, the majority of whom experience tinnitus themselves, and are attended by people of all ages. Groups not only organise regular meetings, but can also be active in fundraising for tinnitus charities and in campaigning for better tinnitus awareness and the provision of improved support services within the remit of the NHS. They also may organise speakers on a diverse range of topics such as relaxation, stress management, diet and exercise - all of which can affect the experience of tinnitus - and non-tinnitus related subjects.
Dr Pat Naughton, Chairperson of the Cork Tinnitus Support Group, said: "It is common for members in our meetings to say that the group was the first place they got any real help. Our support role is limited yet vital, and has great potential."
Jenny from Isleworth, who attends the local Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Support Group, is enthusiastic about the benefits of attending. She said: "I find the group sessions very useful. It is good to share experiences, thoughts and feelings. I feel encouraged and I actively try to deal with the feelings that my tinnitus brings. I try to incorporate the advice from the therapists and the suggestions from other group members."
A list of existing support groups is available at www.tinnitus.org.uk/directory. Anyone interested in establishing a tinnitus support group should call Krys at the BTA on 0800 018 0527 to find out more about how the BTA can help.
About the BTA
The BTA is an independent charity which supports thousands of people who experience tinnitus and advises medical professionals from across the world.
The British Tinnitus Association strives to be the primary source of support and information for people with tinnitus in the UK, thereby facilitating an improved quality of life. It aims to encourage prevention through its educational programme and to seek a cure for permanent head noise through a medical research programme.
The experienced team at the BTA understands the impact that tinnitus can have on the lives of those who experience tinnitus and those who live with them, so seeks to provides the most appropriate and expert advice and information free of charge - via a confidential freephone helpline on 0800 018 0527 and online at www.tinnitus.org.uk. The BTA can also post printed and audio information and advice.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Sweat Lodge is arguably the best 5.11 on the Rosebud Wall, with great rock, interesting moves, and relatively sustained difficulty (and anchors at the lip!). The route begins easily and gets steadily harder as you ascend, with some cool roofs with big jugs. Shorter folks will have trouble at the second roof, making a long reach to a V-slot with the left hand from the white-with-bird-poo undercling jug. Its possible to get a kneebar right before the end, which is nice since the final moves to the chains are pumpy. This route has a great finishing jug, unlike some routes at Sitting Bull.
Sweat Lodge is the 6th route from the left side of the wall, or the 2nd from the right, beginning just right of the small tree that grows at the base of the wall.

Westport gets economic plan
WESTPORT — The Westport Town Council wants public input on the municipality's recently completed arts-based economic-revitalization strategy.
"For the last 10 years, the town has made economic development a priority," Westport Town Supervisor Daniel Connell said by email.
"The purpose of the economic-revitalization effort is to develop a strategy for Westport and to advance priority projects in the community that will spur revitalization."
Among the projects envisioned by the plan are revitalizing Main Street; developing a local arts center; coming up with new, arts-oriented uses for the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport; and attracting a brand-name hotel and year-round attractions.
A public hearing on the Westport Economic Development Strategy is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, at Westport Town Hall.
Connell said several projects, including hamlet expansion and development of the Economic Revitalization Strategy, have been ongoing with through use of local resources, community volunteers and state grant funding.
The Town Council assembled a team of local, state and regional partners, with assistance from a professional consultant, River Street Planning and Development of Troy, to develop the strategy, Connell said.
Meetings were held over a span of several months.
The town's partners included the New York State Department of State, the Essex County Industrial Development Agency and the Town Project Advisory Committee, comprising residents of the community and the region.
The report was then put together by River Street Planning and Development and funded in part by the Department of State through a grant provided under the Environmental Protection Fund Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.
The report proposes Westport go to an arts-based economic-development strategy that would stimulate small-business activity and build on the professional capacity of artists and artisans in the region.
The town would work with the arts community to advance the arts as an economic-development engine, the draft report says.
Westport would attempt to attract cultural tourists, develop artist housing, promote the community as an "Adirondack Art Town" and provide direct support to artists.
In addition, the Westport Heritage House, a former church now used as the town's visitor welcome center, would be expanded into an arts center and craft gallery to promote the work of local artists, artisans and craftspeople.
"I think it's a good plan," Connell said. "It could work for Westport. Now we need to hear from our residents on how they feel about it."

The Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area and Partners
The Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area is a collaborative network of partners working together toward a common vision of defining and celebrating our shared heritage with the world. Each partner - no matter whether an individual or a large group - implements aspects of the program in accordance with its interests, goals, and capabilities, adhering to agreed-upon heritage area criteria, guidelines, and processes. This is our shared heritage area and our opportunity to share our story!
Our Partnership with the National Park Service
As a partnership program of the National Park Service (NPS), the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area is a federally designated program with a strong programmatic and structural relationship with the NPS. Federal funding allocated through the NPS provides organizational seed money for our National Heritage Area initiative. Just as important, the NPS provides us with technical assistance and guidance as we create and implement our programming at the regional and local levels. The NPS's identity and brand helps us establish and communicatethe level of quality to which we aspire.
Locally, we maintain a close working relationship with the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, whose staff participates in our organizational structure and programs. Nationally, we continue to work closely with the NPS Midwest Regional Office in Omaha, Nebraska, which manages the heritage area program in the Midwest. The NPS can provide us with guidance, support, and technical assistance as we craft programs.
The Alliance of National Heritage Areas
The Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition is also a member of the Alliance of National Heritage Areas. The Alliance is a membership organization of the Congressionally designated National Heritage Areas committed to raising awareness among the Administration, Congress, its partners, and the public of the benefits of National Heritage Areas to the public sector and private citizens and fostering educational opportunities and partnerships among organizations in the heritage development field.
Through this unique organization, we are able to share ideas across the nation and participate in shared programming opportunities with other national heritage areas.
Local Partners
Local partners participate in the heritage area program individually and/or as part of a local Community Working Group. Central to our heritage area concept is the idea that most partners will work through their local communities. Communities are the key organizing element within the heritage area landscape. In central Illinois, communities are located at a distance from each other and function largely as distinct entities, separated from their neighboring communities by the broad agricultural landscape.
This organic structure of the central Illinois landscape is part of the region's Lincoln-era story. It also provides us with a way of organizing partnerships and activities. Many participating heritage area communities have created a Community Working Group as the primary entity through which partners will act. Communities and their Community Working Groups join the heritage area by completing a partnership agreement in which they agree to work together toward the heritage area's common mission and vision and abide by the heritage area's guiding principles.
Community Working Groups
The Community Working Groups organize the participation of the wide range of constituents and stakeholders within their communities including government leaders, business leaders, historic sites, educators, planners, and others. They also communicate with the general public and receive public input that can help shape their activities. Individual partners located in or near communities participate in their Community Working Groups as a way of coordinating their actions within the local context. Each Community Working Group collaborates with other Community Working Groups within their regional 'constellation,' with the Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition, and with the heritage area as a whole.
The Community Working group kit can be found by clicking HERE.
Other Initiative Partners
We partner with initiatives such as the scenic byways program, natural resource sites, Native American sites, and the region's non-Lincoln historic communities to relate our Lincoln-era stories to other stories and subjects significant to central Illinois. We explore ways in which heritage area themes and stories can be interwoven with the themes and stories offered by other regional partners to present a holistic presentation of central Illinois and its development over time.
Private Partners and Corporate Partnership
If you or your organization is interested in developing a sponsoring partnership or in assisting us with our mission across the 42 counties of the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area and would like to positively affect the lasting legacy we seek to establish, we encourage you to contact us HERE.

GEOGG081 Approaches in Globalisation
(15 credits)
Term 1 (2013)
Jason Dittmer (convenor), Jurgen Essletzbichler, Alan Ingram, Charlotte Lemanski, Jenny Robinson
This module seeks to ground students' understandings of globalisation in a range of theoretical approaches to globalisation, with specific reference to debates in the fields of geopolitics, political economy, and international development.
The module will comprise four sections. The first part of the module is devoted to exploring a broad range of theoretical perspectives on globalisation, with close attention to how these have changed over time. The other three parts of the module consider these theoretical approaches in greater depth in relation, in turn, to the themes of geopolitics, political economy, and international development. The second part of the module considers the ways in which practices and critiques of geopolitics have emerged out of the processes labelled today as globalisation, and how theorists of geopolitics have in turn attempted to understand globalisation The third part of the module focuses on the political-economic dimensions of globalisation, placing economic globalisation and political responses to these within the context of complex re-scaling of both political and economic processes in different parts of the world.. The final section of the module takes the practice and theory of international development as one component of the nature of globalisation, with a strong interest in global poverty, wider development policy and the increasingly important role of urbanisation in shaping globalisation and development.
100% coursework – 1 x 3000 word essay.
The course is taught through a series of seminars, including lectures and group discussion.
Learning Outcomes:
Students completing this course will be able to intelligently debate the following topics:
- The 'end of geography' thesis

Wish I would have read these reviews before I purchased this washer. Worst Washer EVER!!! My old (1990) machine cleaned better that this one. The white clothes come out dingy, and the color clothes are not bright. I tried several different detergents with no luck. The machine controls the water level, so I think this is the problem. There is not enough water in the machine to clean the clothes properly. Ive had it more than 30 days, therefore I cant return it. However, because of my warranty Sears is allowing me to exchange it for another model. Thankful, for warranty and Sears GREAT customer service!!!!
Downingtown, PA
I truly wish I had returned this washer, I dislike the noise, the fact that everything comes out wrinkled and sometimes with detergent residue,( I know to use less detergent) I have never owned a washer with so many issues. I have owned Kenmore products over many years and have never been this dissatisfied.

i am so not happy with this washer. the other one i had was a king size. i could put everything in it and it washed great. this one gets off balanced and the downy ball hardly ever opens to let the softener out. i am very disapointed with this one and will never buy another one like it.

We have had this machine for about 7 months and I have been wanting to write a review. We would never purchase this machine again. Even with the Super setting which is supposed to have more water, many items are not even wet upon completion of the cycle. Unless all items are pretreated they are not clean and have to be washed again which defeats the purpose of less water used. In addition, the unit locks when turned on so you cannot put more items in unless you unlock the machine. This machine is more trouble than it is worth. Conserving water at the risk of unclean and dirty clothes is not worth it. We would not recommend this machine to anyone and are sorry we purchased it.

What a pain in the **** it has been since day one! I had to call a repair man the first day. All the high tech sensor nonsense is horrible! I have to keep restarting it because it will quit halfway through. Go back to when you started your machine and it actually went through the whole cycle and cleaned your clothes!

We purchased Series 500 Kenmore washer less than a year ago in Annapolis MD and it has been giving us problems since the get-go! I wanted to return it right away, but my husband said to give it a try. I agree with everything VAL_fam_4 said. Does not clean clothes; they still look dingy and dirty and SMELL! Where are LEMON LAWS when you need them?? I have to go out today and buy YET ANOTHER one and it will NOT BE SEARS!

This is a great washer with no agitator. You can wash almost anything. Rebates are usually available from your power company to further reduce the actual cost.

I purchased this washer in July 2014. The purchase at the store went smooth & the sales rep seemed knowledgeable. The delivery also went smoothly except make sure they level the machine which they didn't do with mine. Delivery man also explained about running a first time 'Clean Wash' with bleach cycle which is very important to do. This will insure no grease on your clothes when doing your first load. This machine is very noisy!! It does make different sounds than the old agitator machine I had for over 25 years, yes a Kenmore also. A low load & a high load takes 43 minutes to complete. It does clean the clothes efficiently & I really like that the clothes are spun almost dry. Also purchased the matching dryer....see review. For the price, its a ok purchase & I wish I would have spent $150 more for a better machine only because of the machine being so NOISY!!
This replaces my old GE washer which lasted for 10 years. The operating noise of this new Kenmore washer does not bother me. Bought it Jan 2014. However, this happened to me twice in a span of 5 months that I have to check the washer during the spin cycle. The machine suddenly made a loud noise while spinning. After opening the cover, I noticed that the clothes were pushed on one side. I just re-positioned them, then it completed its cycle. I think I fixed the problem by not mixing the delicates with the heavy laundry items (such as towels, sheets...).
Matawan, NJ
Purchased this HE washer in January. Already had Sears to my home two times to fix the washer. The balance is off and needed to be reset, clothes take over 2 hours to wash and now Sears is coming again for the third time. Now if you put a load of clothes in before bed the washer is going all night!!! I don't know what is going on with this washer but the cycle stops (Express or Bulky) and then restarts right away. I don't have time to watch the washer machine for when the cycle ends and quickly get the clothes out before it starts again. Clearly this is an issue with this machine and hope the third time it gets fixed?? Buyer Beware of these issues.

LONDON, ENGLAND -- In a little more than a week from now, the 2012 Summer Olympics will kick off in London.
This week, a handful of Bradley University students are preparing to be a part of the action.
Mathew DeFreitas is one of them.
The Metamora High School graduate will head to New York City Thursday for an NBC Olympics internship at the Rockefeller Center.
Close to 100 Bradley students applied for the internship last year.
DeFreitas is one of 10 students chosen to cover the games, doing anything from online video streaming to editing for 12 hours a day, seven days a week.
"The main thing for me is just working hard and showing NBC that Bradley can basically bring it," said DeFreitas, "because Bradley is a small school, and if we show that we're not only good at what we do, but we show that we are good students, we work hard, and can perform well, then that opens doors up in the future for Bradley."
DeFreitas, an incoming Bradley senior, says interns are stationed in both New York and London, and the internship will last three weeks, starting July 21st.
Bradley is one of five schools whose students will participate in the summer Olympic broadcasts.

One of the state's most wanted sex offenders has been arrested in Western Mass.
State police told CBS 3 Roberto Jimenez Jr. was arrested Tuesday morning in Holyoke after police found him hiding in a closet.
He was convicted of two counts of rape of a child under 16 in 2006 after he met a 12-year-old boy in a chat room, saying he wanted to meet and play video games, and then sexually assaulted him.
After serving his time he failed to register as a sex offender in Holyoke.
State police say tips have been coming in since the offenders' names and descriptions were released by the media.
Meanwhile a second suspect with local ties to Western Mass remains at large.
Steven Michael Cooper is wanted by Springfield police in connection with a rape that occurred in the city in March of 2008.
If you know his whereabouts do not approach him. Call state police at 1-800-KAPTURE.

By Jake Thompson
BROWNSBURG — Racing action begins this coming week at Lucas Oil Raceway, kicking off its 2013 season. Dating back to 1960, the raceway has hosted many great events and that tradition continues.
Sitting on 267 acres of land, LOR includes a .686-mile oval, quarter-mile dragstrip, and 2.5-mile, 15-turn road course. The facilities give a range of motorsports the opportunity to compete from amateurs to the best professionals in the world.
"We're very excited opening week is upon us, especially after the long cold winter," Sales and Marketing Manager Craig Emsweller said. "All the snow we had has given everyone a little more excitement over spring and the opening of Lucas Oil Raceway. We're ready to hear the roar of racecars instead of snow plows!"
Probably best known for hosting the NHRA U.S. Nationals over Labor Day weekend, the raceway is home to many other quality events throughout the year.
For a full schedule click here.
Running April 14 to open the oval will be the third annual Cabin Fever Championships presented by CRA. Four divisions — Late Model Sportsman, Street Stocks, Modifieds and Compacts — will compete with pits opening at 8 a.m., practice beginning at 11 a.m., qualifying set to start at 12:30 p.m., and racing set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. Cost is $20 for adults, $5 for children ages 6 to 12, and free for younger children.
The Summit Racing Equipment ET Bracket Series starts things off April 14 as well, at LOR's dragstrip. Cars from the Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Pro Bike, and Junior (majors and minors) divisions will all compete.
"The Summit Racing Equipment ET Bracket Series is a highly competitive series, and we are thrilled to have them back at Lucas Oil Raceway," Emsweller said. "The series is a blast to watch all summer long."
Gates open at 7 a.m. with qualifying at 9 a.m. and eliminations to follow.
A "test and tune" for the Bracket Series is scheduled for April 7, with a cost of $30 per driver and $10 for crewmembers and spectators alike. Gate 8 will open at 10 a.m. and action begins and runs from noon to 5 p.m.
Following the Summit Racing "test and tune" Sunday, LOR gears up for the return of the popular Wild Wednesdays that begin April 10.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing set to begin at 5:30 p.m. For $20, anyone can bring their car or motorcycle to race in a legal and controlled environment, giving amateur dragsters the opportunity to showcase their racing skills. Spectators can watch for $5; children 12 and younger are admitted free.
"Wild Wednesday gives you a chance to take your car off the street, and race it on the dragstrip," Emsweller said. "(It's) a fun environment that provides anyone a chance to be a racer. It's especially exciting early in the year to see if the drivers have made the correct adjustments over the winter to shave off time from the previous year."
There's never a lack of events at LOR and racing action continues now through the end of the season.
"The opening week is one of our favorite weeks of the year," Emsweller said. "April is a busy month, which includes the NHRA Spring Spectacle of Speed April 26 through 28. The event features the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, which includes Top Alcohol Dragsters and Funny Cars.
"It's great to know that we have wonderful events scheduled throughout the summer, showcased by the Visit Hendricks County Night Before the 500 May 25, and the 59th annual NHRA U.S. Nationals Aug. 28 through Sept. 2. Every weekend we have something going on at Lucas Oil Raceway and we're ready for all the racing action."
For more information on any of these events and more, visit the website at www.lucasoilraceway.com.

A Forsyth County man was killed after he and his son fell from a tree stand while hunting.
Jeff McBryant, 44, and his son Elijah were hunting in a wooded area near the Forsyth-Gwinnett county line.
The family told CBS Atlanta that Elijah and his dad were in separate tree stands when a deer came up to them.
McBryant wanted his son to get the shot, so they tried to switch tree stands. That was when they fell between 15 and 20 feet to the ground.
Authorities said rescuers struggled to find the pair in the darkness, and were finally able to find them by tracking a cell phone signal off of Old Atlanta Road in the Suwanee area on Monday evening.
Elijah suffered injuries to his spinal cord, but he is recovering from surgery at Northside Hospital-Forsyth.
Jeff McBryant leaves behind his wife Lisa, son Elijah and daughter Carly Beth.

flipkart service- as usual, timely delivery and superb packing.
Now coming to the product- great batteries. flash charges very quick, excellent backup and durable also.
Recommended to all.... I have used it in My Canon Power Shot SX150.
I managed to take about 420 shots, with mix uses of flash.
I bought this item from Flipkart along with Fujifilm HS20EXR Camera. Even though it took longer (about 2 days) than the other items to be shipped due to non-availability, but when it arrived, it was packed really well. Since the Eneloops come with charge already, I started using this right away with the camera and 200 shots later I am still using it without any issues. Eneloops retain good charge even after non-usage for several weeks due to the LSD (Low Self Discharge) and I hope the promise holds true for this powerhouse of a AA battery.
Hey Guys,
I purchased 4pack of this to use with my Canon 580EX m2.
Since this comes pre-charged we can use it strait from the box.
The battery's performs as they are expected.
Give extra power when you need most. I have used this from last 6months and i charge them every alternate days.
Still Give the same flawless performance as the first charge.
Even you can try the en-loop white cells and they too give good performance.
Sanyo has done a great job with this cells.
As always flip kart make you smile as always no matter what you buy !!!!!
Hope this helps !!!
These batteries are a terrific buy. They last really long once charged & I found them giving me fast recycle times on my external flashgun. Highly recommended if you need to get batteries for a device, whose power needs are heavy.
After charging this overnight it lasted around a month.I ordered this for the second time but I got envelop pro instead.

La Jolla's art femme fatales style seductive show
By Will Bowen
In case you didn't know, La Jolla has about 20 self-proclaimed femme fatales. Their leader is Judy Judy Judy, an artist and the proprietor of a popular hair salon in La Jolla Village.
Judy and her crew can most often be found in their favorite haunts — the Barbarella and the Piatti restaurants in La Jolla Shores — where they ply their wiles and plan their escapades.
On Oct. 27, 2012, Judy and her gang hosted a reception for the exhibit "Femme Fatales," which celebrated the virtues of Femme Fatalism at the La Jolla Art Association gallery.
According to Judy, the idea for the show came to her when she was in Paris attending the hairstyle and fashion show, Le Mondial de Coiffure de Beaute.
"I wanted to do a solo show of paintings about femme fatales, but then all my friends wanted to be in the show, too, so I let them. It all started with my painting I call 'Lady Danger,' and it is in this show with four others I did for the series," Judy said. "'Femme Fatales' is all about intrigue and danger. Femme fatales are women who use seduction to attract men and then lead them into compromising situations in order to achieve hidden aims. Their tools are beauty, charm, and sexual attractiveness. Am I one? Well, maybe …"
Beverly diGregorio is a femme fatale with two paintings in the show. She is a member of the Point Loma Art Association, San Diego Art Institute and the Water Color Society.
"This was the first time I showed my nudes anywhere in public. There just are not many opportunities to show nudes in San Diego. Frankly, there are not many art shows that have women as their subject. That's what made this show so special," diGregorio said. "Thirty years ago I was a flaming femme fatale. I think they have been instrumental throughout history. I am fascinated by the strength and delicateness of woman, especially as personified by the ballerina. That is why I paint them so often."
Terry Soppe is another femme fatale with work in the show. When she's not acting as the treasurer of the LJAA, she is a bookkeeper for her husband, Dr. Glen Soppe, a family physician in private practice. "This show was a way to celebrate women in a different way — as strong, intriguing, interesting, and full of life. You know women are the force behind the scene. They make everything happen. They are the planners and the organizers; they keep it all together," Soppe laughed.
Her husband, Dr. Glen, said the only way he's able to keep his wife's femme fatalism in check is, "I keep her painting all the time — that keeps her out of trouble!"
Emily Vermillion is a femme fatale with three mixed-media pieces in the show. Their inspiration, according to Vermillion, is that, "life is full of stories and little pieces, like a collage. We fall apart and then we put ourselves back together again over and over again."
Vermillion said femme fatalism has to do with seduction. "I am a subtle seductress, but not in a mean way. My art seduces your eye and interest — it enchants you and draws you in. Each piece I make tells a story of love and relationship. Love is not perfect, but it is seductive. Love seduces women. All women are interested in love."
Femme fatale Ingrid Wolters had the only abstract work in the show; an allusion to female anatomy.
"I like to play with color and shapes," Wolters said. "When I was younger I was quite a femme fatale. I was a big flirt. Men, you have to be careful of us women because we can be fatal to your system!"
Yanna Shayne, another femme fatale, works in sales and marketing when she is not working on her stained-glass art, which she calls, "The greatest art form and my passion!" She has two works in the show.
Phebe Burnham, who at 92 is the oldest fatale in the group, submitted a painting of an older woman with a rifle called "Granny Oakley," and other of a young woman in Tijuana called, "Tijuana Tourist."
"I grew up in New England and was very inhibited. It took me a while to open up. I think that you should live life how it feels good to you, but try not to affect others negatively. I like to make people laugh because life has become so serious nowadays."
Ken Wilkins — who is not a femme fatale, but said he likes being surrounded by them — added one very special work to the exhibit. "I'm happy to be in this show," he said, "because it's new and different and pushes the edge."

Assult Weapon Ban
I would like to add another amendment to the constitution banning assult weapons during times of low international threat. Meaning that during high threat of invasion of US soil by foriegn nation or nations the ban will be lifted. When the threat is over, the US gov't will buy back all of the assult weapons sold during the threat. Buy back must be started within six months of threats end and sales records from gov't authorized dealers only will be used to recall all the assult weapons sold. Sport activity will still be legal but by facilities licensed to provide and manage any/all assult weapons used at sports function. The licensed organizations of these sporting events must check in/out or return the assult weapons used at the nearest National Guard Facility availible for guarded/monitored storage.
