Pitt backtracked on the promise, with news this week that his nuptials are coming sooner rather than later. But the actor, soon to be seen in the dark, anti-capitalism drama "Killing Them Softly," is still throwing his celebrity weight behind gay marriage. Here's the actor discussing how the issue reflects on the country as a whole. "Equality, absolutely, that's what defines us. It's what makes us great," Pitt said when asked about what he thinks about Maine, Maryland and Washington legalizing gay marriage. "If it doesn't sit well with your religion, let your God sort it out in the end, but that's us. We're equal."

Brandi Carlile tells "Time Out New York" she's proud of being gay
Folk rock singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile spoke candidly with Time Out Magazine this week about collaborating with Elton John, coming out publicly and how her organization, the Looking Out Foundation, found its roots.
Carlile said she's been looking to gay role models like Elton, The Indigo Girls and Freddie Mercury since before she even knew she was gay because of their edge. "I didn't really make the connection that they were gay, but I felt drawn to them because they were going against the grain, and I knew there was something that they had that everybody else didn't have," Carlile said.
On her latest album Give Up the Ghost, Carlile collaborated with Elton John, who plays piano on the track. Before ever meeting him, Carlile mentioned John in an article with The New York Times and then he sent her a bottle of wine from the year she was born before calling her to chat. Calile was blown away and decided not to disrupt the relationship until a couple of years later when she reached a pivotal point in her career and decided to reach out to him via email. John agreed to play the song.
"It was great. I mean, he finished his job within an hour and a half. He was, like, way over my head. I knew he was a great musician, but I just could never have quite prepared myself for how incredible he was."
On coming out, Carlile explained that she was never really secretive about her sexuality, even discussing it with fans, although it took a while for the press to ask her — and she was thrilled when they did.
"It's always been a part of my thing, you know? I write completely gender-specific songs that are clearly being sung by a homosexual."
Carlile got a lot of great feedback from fans and really became a role model for the younger queer community — recognizing, of course, that her experience was a little different than that of country and christian musicians like Chely Wright and Jennifer Knapp, who she is really proud of for coming out.
"There are other country stars I suspect of being gay too, and I hope that they make their way out sooner or later for the sake of younger country artists."
Carlile also discussed the Fight the Fear Campaign, which is part of the Looking Out Foundation she created. The campaign started after two women were attacked in their home and one was killed trying to save her partner. Carlile contacted the woman and teamed up with the Seattle police department and two women-owned-and-run self-defense organizations to start a free self-defense program for women in shelters, youth centers and senior centers.
Funding for the Looking Out Foundation originally came out of a GM commercial that Carlile was hesitant to take part in. At first, she refused to allow GM to use her song "The Story" to promote a new car. GM came back and offered for her to write the text and make it exclusively for their environmentally sustainable cars.
So after a lot of deliberation and sounding out to people I respect, I called them back and said let's do it. But we still took all the money GM paid us — every single penny of it —and donated it to grassroots environmental organizations.
Bravo to Brandi for all her advocacy.

Today it's ladies day at Aintree! It may not be all that warm but that doesn't stop the girls in Liverpool from dressing like they're in Marbella. Goosebumps are an extra accessory at these races. Thigh high slits, extensions, sequins, bedazzled platforms and feathered fascinators are the Aintree uniform. Oh and a lorra lorra pink. The Liverpool girls slipped into bubble-gum chiffon and applied many, many layers of fake tan to watch the races. This year the hats most definitely took center stage, bold and bright creations teetering precariously on the coiffed-to-perfection heads of many an Aintree lady. There was even one made out of mini Cheddars - yes, the crackers; yes, really.
Admit it, you can't look at the pictures from Aintree Races without hearing that Boots Christmas ad soundtrack Here Come The Girls. According to The Telegraph, thousands of tickets have been left unsold with experts suggesting that regular racegoers were being put off the event by the "lax" dress code. Yikes! Relaaax guys, it's just a bit of fun. Many still came out in droves, though, with Coleen Rooney - the Queen of the Aintree fashionistas leading the pack in a bright pink pencil skirt and matching crop top. What Alexa Chung is to Glastonbury, and Kate Bosworth is to Coachella, Rooney is to Aintree. A style leader who probably spends months planning her outfits for this festival of fashion, there's no doubt that every woman there is keener to see Coleen than they are to see any horses (horses? What horses?).
We've rounded up some of the *insert descriptive word here* looks in the gallery above...

Self Publishing for Cornered Writers
Self Publishing Blog

Morris Rosenthal's Self Publishing Resources
My old blog, posts from 2005 to 2010, was moved to Blogger last year, and lives at http://fonerbooks.blogspot.com. My series of video lectures about self publishing is found at http://youtube.com/fonerbooks
The Self Publishing 2.0 blog that I wrote between 2010 and 2014 was recently nuked. I may slowly republish the useful posts on the old Blogger site. I still have the mailing list from the old blog, maybe I'll start publishing again through the Wordpress site at some point.
I continue to answer questions about self publishing for anybody who sends me reasonable questions by e-mail. The articles about self publishing in the left column were written years ago, some of them are still relevant, others, only if you publish on paper the old fashioned way.
My advice to all new self publishers is to start with Kindle, and after that, to sign up with Amazon's Create Space. Both are free. If you need better distribution or profit margins, worry about it after you've proven you can sell books.
I've added an index for the free science fiction books on Kindle. The lists are the current bestseller sorts that include both promotional science fiction and price matched free books.

Bears still will rely on defensive vets next season
By Mark Potash email@example.com December 30, 2011 9:52PM
Brian Urlacher (above), Lance Briggs, Julius Peppers and Charles Tillman need a little help. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: February 1, 2012 8:09AM
The Bears' window of opportunity appears to be closing rapidly with their defensive stars getting older and the Packers and Lions getting better, but linebacker Brian Urlacher still believes they're championship contenders.
''We feel like we have the talent to do it and the players to do it,'' Urlacher said. ''I think we've shown that. We have all the talent we need to get where we need to go. We've just got to put it together and do it.''
Despite his optimism, Urlacher couldn't avoid acknowledging one factor the Bears can't control: The Packers are not only younger but better. He could've said the same for the Lions, who overcame their own precociousness to make the playoffs.
''It just makes it harder now because Green Bay's so frickin' good,'' Urlacher said. ''They're in our division, they're the best team in the NFL the last two years, so it's going to be a big hurdle for us to get over.''
Urlacher making his eighth Pro Bowl at 33 and linebacker Lance Briggs making his seventh at 30 are great accomplishments. But they also represent a wasted opportunity in that the Bears didn't make the playoffs while they still were playing at a high level.
''While we still can walk around?'' Briggs said when asked if there's a sense of urgency to win a Super Bowl while he and Urlacher still are playing well. ''That's the most frustrating thing about seasons like this — and last year — being that close. It's that we know we're a good-enough team to get there.
As the Bears look toward 2012, their veteran core is the least of their concerns on defense. Besides Briggs and Urlacher, cornerback Charles Tillman was named to his first Pro Bowl. Defensive end Julius Peppers was voted an alternate for a solid if unspectacular season in which he leads the Bears with 10 sacks and 53 pressures.
But even if all four continue to play at the same level next season — when Urlacher will be 34, Peppers 32 and Briggs and Tillman 31 — the Bears still need help if the defense is going to be expected to carry as much of the load as it did this year, even with quarterback Jay Cutler healthy.
They got too little help this season. Few if any ''supporting cast'' members established themselves as potential Pro Bowl players. Defensive tackle Henry Melton, who has seven sacks, is a Pro Bowl alternate at 24. But even he was starkly inconsistent.
Rookie safety Chris Conte showed promise before suffering a season-ending injury. Nickel back D.J. Moore had three interceptions in the first half but suffered an injury and has none in the second half.
Others did their job, though some were exposed when the pressure on the defense became too much to bear — linebacker Nick Roach, defensive tackle Matt Toeaina, defensive end Israel Idonije, cornerback Tim Jennings and safety Major Wright.
But it was telling that coach Lovie Smith appeared to be stumped Friday when asked which younger players had stepped up this season.
''Which of our younger players? Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Julius Peppers,'' Smith said. ''You're talking about those . . . players? Or younger players?''
Uh, young relative to football age. Like under 30.
''Younger players . . .'' Smith said with a pause. ''We transitioned this year at the safety position, playing a rookie in Conte, Major Wright getting more reps. Our backup linebackers, of course, were new guys. Up front, Henry Melton moved into one of the main roles for our defense.
''And some of our other positions, we have some players that have been to the Pro Bowl eight times, been to the Pro Bowl seven times. It's just how it is. They played a little bit, but I still feel like they have a lot more football left to go.''
No matter how hard he tried, the answer still came back to Urlacher, Briggs and Peppers. That pretty much tells you where the Bears' defense stands heading into 2012.

Natallia, Thanks for your question - we heard from a lot of customers in the same situation at our latest conferences and during this Q&A. I'd point you to the question from one reader here during the Q&A:Q. Does SAP have a tool - or plan to build a tool - to perform the migration in a more natural way from BPC 10 to BPC 10.1?Sanjeev Mehta: BPC 10.1 has two modeling options: the Classic / Standard Model (similar to traditional BPC) and the Unified / Embedded Model (leveraging the powerful features of BI - IP, with stronger integration with BW). SAP has an easy and standard mechanism to migrate from BPC 10.0 NW to BPC 10.1 Classic (or Standard) Model.I hope this is helpful starting point.

There are so many moments that led to this winning entry that the playoff victory only grows more astounding with time: Steve Nash hitting the jumper over John Stockton with 12 seconds left to take Game 3 of the best-of-five series; Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley dominating the rout of the Jazz in Game 4; and the incredible double-digit, fourth-quarter comeback in Game 5, on the Jazz's home court, that led to the end-to-end astonishing scenes. One, that Michael Finley passed up the last shot to dish to a wide-open Calvin Booth to give him the layup and the team the lead. Two, that both John Stockton and Karl Malone missed open shots that would have given the Jazz the victory. It was all so unexpected that it gave this town a renewed sense of sports-watching awe. One request: Don't expect to see such a storybook finish this year. It's too much to ask of your Mavs. Just revel in 2001's season of b-ball fun. You may not see another like it for some time.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama departs Tuesday for a weeklong, four-nation tour of Asia, where he and his top aides will be less focused on any big policy announcements than on reassuring jittery allies that America remains committed to bolstering its security and economic ties to the region.
The trip – rescheduled from October, when Obama was forced to cancel because of the government shutdown – includes two of the countries on his original itinerary, Malaysia and the Philippines, as well as Japan and South Korea.
On one level, the president has a long list of tasks awaiting him: He will try to make headway on trade negotiations with Japan, work to ease tensions between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Park Geun-hye, foster a closer alliance with the government in Muslim-majority Malaysia and shore up support for Philippine President Benigno Aquino.
But it is also, by its very nature, an interim step in the administration's larger project of seeking to rebalance its relationship with the most economically and socially dynamic region of the world at a time when China continues to expand its influence there.
In a briefing Friday, senior administration officials detailed the president's plans to hold bilateral talks and visit sites including the national mosque in Malaysia and a science and technology museum in Japan. National security adviser Susan Rice emphasized that she and other top officials increasingly see our top priorities as tied to Asia, whether it's accessing new markets or promoting exports or protecting our security interests and promoting our core values.
And at a time of ongoing regional tensions, particularly with regard to North Korea and territorial disputes, the trip offers a chance for the United States to affirm our commitment to a rules-based order in the region, she added.
Douglas Paal, director of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's Asia program, said that sort of affirmation will be critical to those who watched Obama establish a red line in Syria over the use of chemical weapons but then decide against intervention when chemical weapons were used last summer.
The heavyweights in the region got very scared by the Syrian decision last summer, Paal said, noting that those same leaders remain deeply invested in the United States maintaining a strong influence on Asian affairs. These are people who want the U.S. to be successful.

A few years ago, an ex of mine's father would make these French cookies that were absolutely delicious and my family loved them. They were only ever referred to as "French Cookies".
I've trying to search google and what not trying to find these, however without much luck.
I remember a few things about it - it was a brown-ish color, maybe there was maple or molasses in it? There were nuts in it, walnuts maybe? Though this may be an optional ingredient.
When the dough was done, you'd role it long ways, almost like a log. When they were done, they were sort of flat and long.
This a picture of the closest thing I could find from google: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UL2g2fwxu7g/TYZQ2MCQtrI/AAAAAAAAATA/mwRhkI-46-E/s1600/DSC_1692.jpg
I don't think these are it though. The ones I remember were darker and maybe a bit thicker.
Does anyone know the name of this cookie?
If so, does anyone have a recipe for it?
I've been searching for quite some time.

General Battery Questions
How do I know which batteries are really the best?
Take a look at our
AAA NiMH Battery Comparison Data
for a side by side look at some very interesting data.
How do alkaline cells compare to rechargeable cells?
Of course alkaline cells are not rechargeable, and they last longer for their single use. But they cannot provide as much current as rechargeable cells. Rechargeable cells have more "Punch" than alkaline cells as they are able to deliver their voltage at a higher amperage due to their lower internal resistance. With alkaline cells, the voltage falls drastically under load, so the power being provided is much lower than with rechargeable cells.
What are NiCd batteries?
The NiCd (nickel-cadmium) battery is a popular type of rechargeable battery for portable electronics and toys using the metals nickel (Ni) and cadmium (Cd) as the active chemicals. They are sometimes used as a replacement for Alkaline cells, since they are available in many of the same sizes. Nickel-cadmium cells have a nominal cell potential of 1.2 V. This is lower than the 1.5 V of Alkaline cells, and consequently they are not appropriate as a replacement in all applications. However, unlike most Alkaline cells, NiCad cells keep a near constant voltage throughout their service life. Despite their lower nominal voltage and the requirement of discharging before recharging, NiCd cells are actually better suited for high current applications. Due to a significantly lower series resistance, they can supply high surge currents. This makes them a favorable choice for remote controlled electric model airplanes, boats and cars, as well as cordless power tools and camera flash units.
What are NiMH batteries?
A nickel metal hydride battery, abbreviated NiMH, is a type of rechargeable battery similar to a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery but has a hydride absorbing alloy for the anode instead of cadmium. Cadmium is an environmental hazard; therefore, the NiMH cells are less detrimental to the environment. Like in NiCd batteries, nickel is the cathode. A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd and the memory effect is not as significant. However, compared to the lithium ion chemistry, the volumetric energy density is lower and self-discharge is higher. Standard NiMH batteries perform better with moderate drain devices such as digital cameras, flashlights, and other consumer electronics, but, because NiCd batteries have lower internal resistance, they still have the edge in very high current drain applications such as cordless power tools and RC cars.
Are Lithium camera batteries the same?
No. Although the Lithium chemistry is cimilar, the cells are generally not rechargeable. You could use them, but it would get very expensive. We know a guy who spent $300 on the Radio Shack non-rechargeable Tadiran brand cells before he found our rechargeable Lithium cells.
How do batteries Work?
Take a look at this
article on how batteries work
. It is very informative.
Battery Specification Questions
What do all of the specifications mean, Volts, Amps, mAh and IR mean?
A few practical cell measurements and how they pertain to RC car performance are:
V (Voltage) = Top speed or horse power
A (Amperage) = Torque
mAh (milliamp hour) = Run time or capacity
IR (Internal Resistance) = Lower = more punch
What does the mAh rating really mean in terms of run time?
Assuming a 1 amp load the following ratings would yield the following run times:
1000 mAh = 60 Minutes of run time at a 1 amp (1000mA) load
800 mAh = 48 Minutes of run time at a 1 amp (1000mA) load
780 mAh = 47 Minutes of run time at a 1 amp (1000mA) load
750 mAh = 45 Minutes of run time at a 1 amp (1000mA) load
700 mAh = 42 Minutes of run time at a 1 amp (1000mA) load
670 mAh = 40 Minutes of run time at a 1 amp (1000mA) load
600 mAh = 36 Minutes of run time at a 1 amp (1000mA) load
What are C Ratings?
How fast a battery can discharge is it's maximum current capacity. Current is generally rated in C's for the battery. C is how long it takes to discharge the battery in fractions of an hour. For instance 1 C discharges the battery in 1/1 hours or 1 hour. 2 C discharges the battery in ½ or half an hour. All RC batteries are rated in mAh (milli Amp hours). If a battery is rated at 2000 mAh and you discharge it at 2000mA (or 2 amps, 1 amp = 1000mA) it will be completely discharged in one hour. The C rating of the battery is thus based on its capacity. A 2000mAh cell discharged at 2 amps is being discharged at 1C (2000mA x 1), a 2000mAh cell discharged at 6 amps is being discharged at 3C( 2000mA x 3).
Presently, Li-Poly technology does not allow currents as high as NiCad or NiMH batteries do. Because of this, many Li-Poly batteries are put in parallel to increase the current capacity of the battery pack. When 2 batteries are wired positive to positive and negative to negative, they become like one battery with double the capacity. If you have two 2000mAh cells and you wire them in parallel then the result is the same as one 4000mAh cell. This 4000mAh cell has the same C rating as the original 2000mAh cells did. Thus if the 2000mAh cells could discharge at a maximum of 5C, or 10 amps, then the new 4000mAh cell can also discharge at 5C or (4000mA x 5) 20 amps. This method of battery pack building allows us to use Li-Poly batteries at higher currents than single cells could produce.
What does 2S2P mean?
The naming convention that allows you to decipher how many cells are in parallel and how many are in series is the xSxP method. The number in front of the S represents the number of series cells in the pack. So 3S means it's a 3 cell pack. The number in front of P means the number of cells in parallel. So a 3S4P pack of 2100mAh cells has a total of 12 cells inside. It will have the voltage of any other 3S pack since the number of cells in series determines the voltage. It will have the current handling of 4 times the maximum C rating of the 12 individual cells. So say the 3S4P pack had a maximum discharge of 6C. That means that it has a nominal voltage of 10.8 volts (3x3.6) and a maximum discharge rate of 50.4 amps (2100mAh x 6Cx4P)
Charging Questions
My buddy has IC3 cells and they fast charge in 15 minutes, what's the deal here?
It should be noted that most any NiMH battery can be fast charged, you simply increase the C rating on your charger. It also has the effect of pushing the peak higher but reduces the quality of charge resulting in shorter runs. The higher peak voltage means the starting voltage is higher for early punch but this is bad for the batteries and greatly shortens life.
What's the deal with the IC3 15 minute battery?
There is nothing special about the IC3 batteries. Any battery can be fast charged. It is the charger that rapid charges the batteries so they are done in 15 minutes. There are several such fast chargers available of much better quality and features, but the Rayovac IC3 has been marketed well so many consumers identify with it. And while the Rayovac marketing says that fast charging does not reduce battery life, this is simply not true. Slow charging is and always will be better for battery life.
How do I charge the Lithium batteries?
With any Lithium battery charger. You will find several
Lithium chargers here
With XMODS and Mini-Zs it looks like you cannot remove the batteries from the car, how do you charge them?
All of our battery kits are equipped with a plug that matches up with our chargers. You simply unplug the pack from the car harness and plug it into the charger.
Can I use my existing Ni-Cad or NM-MH charger?
That's a big NO! Lithium cells should be charged at a constant current of 0.7C until 4.2V/cell is reached. Then constant voltage (CV) is to be used until current drops to 0.1C. At that time, the charging should stop. When the battery reaches 8.4v, it should no longer draw current. The charger should also be current-limited. Below about 75% charge, the limit current is reached. After about 80% charge, the current should decay toward 0. At about 95% charge the current should drop to only a few milliamps. In short, the closer to 100% charge, the less current is delivered to the battery.
Do I really need a the 12 Volt Adaptor?
The chargers we sell all require a 12 volt power source like a car battery or power supply. If you already have a convenient 12 volt source you are in good shape. If not, you will need to buy a 12 volt adaptor from the
I have my own power adaptor, how do I connect it?
Simply cut the JST connector off the "INPUT" side charger. Use your Meter to determine which side of your power adaptor is positive. Connect the positive side of the power supply to the red "INPUT" wire on the charger. Put the heat shrink on the wires, twist them together and then solder them. Finally, use a lighter to shrink the heat shrink and you are done.
I'm too cheap to buy a 12 Volt Adaptor, can I use my dad's car battery charger to supply 12 volts to my charger?
No, you cannot use a battery charger, but you could use the car battery.
Can I just plug the 12 volt adaptor into the charging pocket to charge the batteries?
No, the 12 volt adaptor is not a charger, it outputs a fixed 12 volts and a fixed 500 mAH current. It will fry your batteries if you try to connect the 12 volt adaptor directly to them. You must use a charger.
How long does it take to recharge a 780mAh Lithium pack with the Lithium 7.4V, 500mAh Charger?
The Lithium Safe 7.4v 500mAh Auto Charger takes 90 minutes to charge up to 90% and another 30 minutes to charge to 100%. This assumes you ran them to the minimum voltage, which you probably did not.
Lithium Ion Batteries
What are the advantages of lithium ion batteries compared to other rechargeable batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries have several advantages:
They have a higher energy density than most other types of rechargeable cells. This means that for their size or weight they can store more energy than other rechargeable batteries.
They also operate at higher voltages than other rechargeables, typically about 3.7 volts for lithium-ion vs. 1.2 volts for NiMH or NiCad. This means a single cell can often be used rather than multiple NiMH or Ni-Cd cells.
Lithium-ion batteries have a lower self discharge rate than other types of rechargeable batteries. This means that once they are charged they will retain their charge for a longer time than other types of rechargeable batteries. NiMH and Ni-Cd batteries can lose anywhere from 1-5% of their charge per day, (depending on the storage temperature). Lithium-ion batteries will retain most of their charge even after months of storage.
So in summary; lithium-ion batteries can be smaller and lighter, have a higher voltage and hold a charge much longer than other types of batteries.
What are the disadvantages of Lithium Ion batteries compared with other rechargeable batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries are more expensive than similar capacity NiMH or Ni-Cd batteries. Lithium ion batteries are difficult to obtain in standard cells sizes (AA, C and D) like NiMH and NiCad batteries. Lithium-ion batteries also require sophisticated chargers that will carefully monitor the charge process. And because of their different shapes and sizes each type of Li-ion battery requires a charger designed to accommodate it's particular size. This means lithium ion battery chargers are more expensive and more difficult to find than NiMH and NiCad battery chargers.
Are the Lithium Ion cells dangerous?
Yes, all lithium cells are dangerous but Lithium Ion cells are inherently safer than Lithium Polymer cells because of their differing chemical makeup and steel case. Our Lithium Ion cells have a safety disc that ruptures to release pressure to avoid explosion. Follow the
Lithium Safety Guidelines
in the Q&A.
I was making my own Ion Pro 2S Pack and accidentally touched the wires together and the batteries and wires got very hot. What happened? And are my batteries OK?
You probably shorted the positive and negative ends together which creates a completed circuit and the energy must be dissipated. In this situation, it will dissipate in the form of heat. If this happened for only a second or two, the cells should be fine. But leaving them in a shorted condition for an extended period can ruin them. You should be careful when handling the cells as a shorted pack will generate enough heat to burn your fingers.
I heard that if you run them below 3 volts per cell they are ruined. Is this true?
It is true that you should not run the cells below 3 volts each. However, in this application it is not a problem if you pay attention, because the car begins to slow long before they reach this point. It will be very obvious that it is time for a recharge. As long as you don't discharge the battery below 3 volts per cell you won't have any problems. Below 2.9v/cell, the batteries will need to be trickle charged around 50 mAh until they reach 3 volts per cell. Discharge below 2.3 volts per cell can do permanent damage. So when the car slows down, stop and recharge after letting the batteries cool! If you keep running, there is the potential to damage the cells. We have cells we have been running hard for months now with no problems as do many of our customers, but you do have to pay attention to this issue.
OK, I didn't bother to read the Q&A before and have ruined my cells, now what?
This is not a product defect, so you will need to purchase another set. Think of it like the guys who drag race and push their engines too hard and blow them up (hope that helps ease the pain).
Do Lithium cells have memory?
None at all. What determines the life is the number of discharge/charge cycles.
How long will these batteries last?
Lithium-based batteries have a lifetime of 2-3 years. The clock starts ticking as soon as the battery comes off the manufacturing line. The capacity loss manifests itself in increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance will reach a point where the pack can no longer deliver the stored energy; although the battery may still contain ample charge. Increasing internal resistance is common to cobalt-based lithium-ion. The speed by which lithium-ion ages is governed by storage temperature and state-of-charge. Figure 1 illustrates the capacity loss as a function of these two parameters.
What is the best way to store Lithium Ion batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries can hold a charge for many months. If possible, store the battery in a cool place at about a 50% state-of-charge. The most harmful combination is full charge at high temperature. This is the case when placing the cells in a hot car. If a lithium-ion battery with a very low charge is stored for a long period of time (many months), it is possible for the voltage slowly drops below the level at which it can be charged again. If the battery is going to be stored for several months it's a good idea to take it out and recharge it after a few months. Better yet would be to actually use the battery every few months and then leave it partially or fully charged.
On the page about the Lithium cells it says they are 8.4 volts together but it says the individual cells are rated 3.7 volts each. Isn't that 7.4 volts and not 8.4 volts?
The cells come off the charger at 8.4 volts and drain down to 6 volts with 7.4 being the nominal (according to plan or design) voltage. The 8.4 volts is significant because this is the maximum voltage that a stock XMOD or MiniZ can handle.
Why are Lithium cells more expensive than other battery types?
Mainly because they are much more complex to manufacture and are manufactured in much smaller quantities than NiMH or NiCad batteries. But they are worth it for the performance difference. Something to consider is this, the Lithium cells are the future of the Remote Control hobby and the support equipment you buy such as chargers and other equipment should be considered an investment. Even if you tire of RC cars, Lithium technology will benefit your future hobby endeavors.
Can I solder directly to Lithium Ion cells? In other words, can I solder to cells without tabs?
No you cannot. The extreme heat (we solder at 660 degrees) will disrupt the cell chemistry and permanently damage them. They may still work, but the output will be greatly reduced. If you are going to make your own Ion Pro 2S Pack, you must buy tabbed cells. We have seen many kits sold on eBay and other sites that were direct soldered. These will have greatly reduced capacity.
How many times can you charge a Lithium Ion battery?
Our Lithium Ion cells are rated for 500 discharge/charge cycles, whether its a half cycle or full doesn't matter. This rating goes out the window if the cells are abused.
Lithium Polymer Batteries
Is Li-Po and LiPo the same as Lithium Polymer?
Yes it is, Li-Po or LiPo are common abbreviations for Lithium Polymer cells.
What is Lithium Polymer?
Lithium Polymer batteries are used in many electronic devices. Cell Phone, Laptops, PDA's, Hearing Aids just to name a few. Most ,if not all, lithium polymer batteries are not designed for RC use, we use them in different applications than they were designed for. They are similar to Lithium Ion batteries in that they each have a nominal voltage of 3.6 volts, but dissimilar in that they do not have a hard metal casing but rather a flexible material encloses the chemicals inside. The "normal" lithium polymer batteries are thin rectangle shapes with two tabs on the top one positive one negative. The reason we use Lithium cells is that they are significantly lighter than comparable NiCad or NiMH batteries, which makes our cars run longer and better.
How do the Lithium Polymer cells compare to other batteries on the market?
The Lithium cells are lighter and more powerful than any other technology on the market. Bottom line is, nothing comes even close.
What is the voltage range for Lithium Polymer Cells?
Li-Polys act differently than NiCad or NiMH batteries when charging and discharging. Lithium batteries are fully charged when each cell has a voltage of 4.2 volts. They are fully discharged when each cell has a voltage of 3.0 volts. It is important not to exceed both the high voltage of 4.2 volts and the low voltage of 3.0 resting volts or 2.5 during discharge. Exceeding these limits can harm the battery. You will know it is time to stop driving if you experience a sudden drop in power.
What is your quality control procedure for Lithium Polymer cells?
Every single cell is voltage tested before shipping and all Packs are voltage tested and load tested at 1 amp after assembly to verify correct pack assembly.
Lithium Safety Guidelines
Warning: Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) and Li-Poly (Lithium Polymer cells require special handling. Improper usage and charging of Lithium based batteries can result in explosion and or fire. Always follow the safety guidelines below.
Only Use Lithium Safe Chargers!
Lithium cells require a special charger specifically designed to charge lithium cells. In general any charger that can charge lithium ion can charge lithium Polymer assuming that the cell count is correct. You must NEVER charge lithium cells with a Ni-Cd or NiMH only battery charger. This is dangerous. Charging cells is the most hazardous part of using lithium batteries. EXTREME care must be taken when charging them. It is important to set your charger to the correct voltage or cell count. Our
Lithium Safe 7.4v 500mAh Auto Charger
is safe for all of our 2S and 2S2P packs.
Double Check Charger Cell Count!
This is the most common mistake people when charging Lithium cells. It is safer to have a fixed charger like our
Lithium Safe 7.4v 500mAh Auto Charger
which is fixed at 7.4v which is the correct setting for our 2S and 2S2P packs. If you charger cell count is selectable make certain that it is right.
Use a Conservative Charge Rate!
You can charge below 1C, but should never exceed it. For example, charging a 500mAh battery with our
Lithium Safe 7.4v 500mAh Auto Charger
would be charging at a 1C rate and is safe. Charging a 1000mAh battery with the same charger would be .5C and is even safer.
Charge in a Safe Area!
Use a fireproof surface to charge your batteries on. A Pyrex dish with sand in the bottom is a good option. Only charge your batteries in a open ventilated area. If a battery does rupture or explode hazardous fumes and material will spew from the battery. Keep a fire extinguisher or a bucket of sand nearby when you are charging batteries.
Always Monitor Charging!
This is the most important safety measure you can take, so please take it seriously. A damaged cell may balloon during charging. If the batteries show any sign of swelling, discontinue charging and remove them to a safe place outside as they could erupt into flames.
Inspect Cells for Damage After Crash!
The steel case of the Li-Ion cells is tough and hard to damage physically, but Li-Poly cells as they have a soft skin and can be damaged easily. Inspect your cells for physical damage after a crash and if you find any sign of physical damage discontinue use immediately. So you should keep a close eye on your batteries after a serious crash for the next 20-30 minutes.
Safe Disposal!
Put the cell or pack in salt water (outside of course) and wait until the cell has discharged completely which could take a day or two. Check the cell voltage with a MultiMeter and when it is at 0 Volts it is safe to puncture the outer casing with a non metallic object. Place it back in the salt water solution for a day which neutralizes the chemicals and makes it safe to throw in the garbage.

Late afternoon sun sneaks through the windows of a passport and visa office in an unnamed American city. Most customers and even most office workers have come and gone, but nine people remain. A punky teenager with an unexpected gift. An upper-class Caucasian couple whose relationship is disintegrating. A young Muslim-American man struggling with the fallout of 9/11. A graduate student haunted by a question about love. An African-American ex-soldier searching for redemption. A Chinese grandmother with a secret past. And two visa office workers on the verge of an adulterous affair. When an earthquake rips through the afternoon lull, trapping these nine characters together, their focus first jolts to their collective struggle to survive. There's little food. The office begins to flood. Then, at a moment when the psychological and emotional stress seems nearly too much for them to bear, the young graduate student suggests that each tell a personal tale, "one amazing thing" from their lives, which they have never told anyone before. And as their surprising stories of romance, marriage, family, political upheaval, and self-discovery unfold against the urgency of their life-or-death circumstances, the novel proves the transcendent power of stories and the meaningfulness of human expression itself. From Chitra Divakaruni, author of such finely wrought, bestselling novels as Sister of My Heart, The Palace of Illusions, and The Mistress of Spices, comes her most compelling and transporting story to date. One Amazing Thing is a passionate creation about survival--and about the reasons to survive.
Chitra Divakaruni is an award-winning and bestselling novelist and poet. She is the author of 14 books in all, including the short story collection The Unknown Errors of Our Lives and the novels Sister of My Heart, The Mistress of Spices, Queen of Dreams, and The Palace of Illusions. Two of her novels have been made into movies. Her writings have appeared in more than 50 magazines, including The Atlantic Monthly and The New Yorker. She has also become a frequently sought-after op-ed and NPR commentator regarding how the West perceives Southeast Asia.
- If you were to tell the story of one amazing thing that had happened in your life, what would it be? Would it be a memory of a gift, an experience, a person that you met, or an event that you witnessed? What made it amazing, and how did it change your life?
"Divakaruni is a brilliant storyteller; she illuminates the world with her artistry; and shakes the reader with her love."—Junot Diaz

"I had a great picture of my daughter sitting under a beautiful oak tree with the branches outlining the top of the photo, so this card was perfect. The announcements were a very nice weight and the finish on the paper was a little shimmery. I was very happy with the finished product. I just wish I could have put a little more info on it. I tried to add a line of text but was not able too. It may have been operator error."
"Ordered this in regular mate paper, it looks elegant. The font selection is good and the arrangement of the pictures suited our needs perfecly. We are very satisfied with the end result. Friends have praised the look of the card."

August 1, 2011
Oakland, Calif.-based AC Transit's board of directors made decisions regarding three separate labor unions that will see the employees contribute 10 percent of the cost of their monthly medical and dental insurance premiums and receive one less paid holiday. The agreement will result in significant savings of almost $7.3 million through early 2014, according to AC Transit.
The three labor unions include: International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local 1245; the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 3916; and Unrepresented Employees.
AFSCME, Local 3916, represents approximately 200 managers, professionals, supervisors, paraprofessionals and administrative staff. Their Collective Bargaining Agreement will result in wage reductions of 5 percent through June 30, 2013 for a total savings to AC in the amount of $5,785,920 through March of 2014.
IBEW, Local 1245, represents approximately 25 Electricians, Electronic Technicians, and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning specialists. The IBEW Collective Bargaining Agreement implements work schedule changes. Base wages will remain the same. The result of this agreement will be a total savings to the District of $667,800 through March of 2014.
Unrepresented employee wages will be cut by 3 percent, which in conjunction with a cancellation of a planned 2 percent increase last year will result in an equal 5 percent decrease in wages to that of AFSCME.
An agreement with the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 192 was reached last year.
"These agreements provide much needed labor cost stability over the next two years for AC Transit," said Interim GM Mary King. "These savings along with the approval of a balanced biennial budget through June 30, 2013, leave the District at a point where we anticipate financial stability if no further outside revenue sources are cut."

Richard Spires resigned as DHS CIO on May 7. (File photo)
Richard Spires' May 7 resignation as Department of Homeland Security CIO put an end to his long and unexplained absence, but the questions and inquiries continue -- first from Capitol Hill, and now from DHS's Office of Inspector General.
FCW has learned through multiple sources that the OIG conducted an investigation into Spires' situation – which included an interview with Spires after his leave began on March 15. Two sources confirmed that the OIG submitted its findings to DHS management on May 8, one day after Spires resigned.
The contents of the investigation have not been made public, and when reached by FCW for comment, a DHS OIG official said the office does not discuss its investigative work.
DHS officials have maintained throughout that Spires went on elected leave for reasons unspecified – the agency does not comment on personnel matters – and confirmed that Deputy CIO Margie Graves continues to serve as the acting CIO. DHS officials also stated that Spires' leave was not related to testimony he missed before the House Homeland Security Committee's Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee on March 19.
Yet several sources, both inside DHS and out, told FCW that Spires' leave -- while officially elected rather than administrative -- was not of his choosing, and may have been precipitated by fundamental disagreements regarding CIO authority over department-wide budgeting and purchasing of commodity IT. One former senior official at DHS who asked not to be named told FCW that "there is definitely more to it" and defended Spires' service at the agency.
The OIG investigation is a second formal inquiry into the matter. House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) penned a letter on April 19 to DHS, asking for answers about Spires' absence.
The inquiry asked the agency to provide an explanation for Spires "being placed on either voluntary or non-voluntary leave on March 15," three days before the subcommittee was notified that Spires' March 19 scheduled testimony would instead come from Graves.
The inquiry, which also included a series of questions regarding Graves' background and job history, instructed DHS to respond by May 6. Thus far, DHS has not responded to that inquiry.

Announcing the release of our first professionally-produced recording!!!
Charles-René: Second Mass, a never-before recorded mass for women's voices and organ published in France in 1905, presented with other French choral and organ music of the period.
This recording is now on sale, both as a physical CD and as a digital download. Detailed ordering information is given here.
The MIT Women's Chorale is a concert choir sponsored by the MIT Women's League, and is open to all women of the MIT and Harvard communities and a small number of guests at the discretion of the director.
In October 2008, the Chorale welcomed Kevin Galiè as our Music Director and Conductor. In September 2010, we welcomed pianist Susanne Swalley as Accompanist.
Our repertoire covers a wide range of styles, from medieval to contemporary, including both sacred and secular music. The Chorale performs two or more concerts each year. These include a holiday concert held in December, and a spring concert, usually held in April or May. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 to 9:30pm in the Emma Rogers Room (10-340) at MIT. We work hard to prepare for each concert, so a commitment to regular attendance is expected from our members.
We are enriched by the diversity of our membership, which includes women of a wide age range and women from the international communities at MIT and Harvard. While our primary focus is singing, we end each evening with conversation over light refreshments. We also hold a pot luck supper each semester. The interactions fostered by the Chorale have led to many life-long friendships.
The Chorale is a member of the Greater Boston Choral Consortium.
Announcement of Chorale activities will appear in the bulletins of the MIT Women's League and Harvard Neighbors.
In case of snow or other bad weather, please check here for updated information as to whether or not rehearsal will be held.

Well, that's only what, 3 albums (or are you referring to his other projects too?)? The Life of the World To Come was a bit underwhelming, but Transcendental Youth & All Eternals Deck are both solid.Huh, I see it the other way, kinda. Life of the World to Come isn't one of my favorite albums but it's an interesting concept; the lyrics on the last two seem like formulaic revisits of old ground. Maybe I'm just getting old.
IMO The Mountain Goats never had a great peak but you can always count on them to put out a well-crafted album.
That's a horrible song. A bad parody of every song Zevon's ever written. He and I could have written those lyrics over a beer.
Mitch Alborn actually wrote the lyrics.
Huh, I see it the other way, kinda. Life of the World to Come isn't one of my favorite albums but it's an interesting concept; the lyrics on the last two seem like formulaic revisits of old ground. Maybe I'm just getting old.
Edit: or maybe it's just weird seeing them settle into a style after spending over a decade evolving, lyrically and musically.
I'm so sad that Fogerty is now pretending that "Centerfield" is about baseball, rather than about his return to the music industry.
That piece of #### was overplayed the second time it hit the turntable. Every time I hear it I picture some whiny benchwarming Little Leaguer demanding to be put into the game just in time to muff the game-ending fly ball, and then defiantly say "AT LEAST I TRIED."
Sorry, I knew too many spazeroonos BITD ever to get sentimental about songs like that. Go join the Iowa Cornfield Soccer League or something, kiddo.
"Centerfield" isn't aggressively annoying. The song can play all the way through at the stadium before or after the game and it's even money I won't even be aware of it; it's pretty easy to tune out.
I remember a campy obscure song by the old country group Alabama called "Cheap Seats"
Can't decide which of the Macklemore or Terry Cashman mentions is most responsible for my indigestion, but nothing on Caple's list is as great as Karl Hendricks's Ballad of Bill Lee.I'm not sure why the Macklemore song is so unnerving to you. It's a passionate song from a legitimate baseball fan.

22 Things That Will Stay With Every Durham Graduate Forever
"Did you know Klute was voted the second worst nightclub in Europe?"
1. Durham is hands down the most beautiful city in the country, probably the world.
2. So much time was spent in this building that when people ask you what your student accommodation was like you daydream back to the months spent here.
3. Rowing isn't as rubbish as it looks, it's actually pretty cool.
4. Cathedrals are the best.
5. Castles are pretty great too.
6. At the time you thought this "club" was the greatest, then you left and thought it was the worst and now you look back with only fondness.
7. You always think of the "cold room" in Klute as being something like this…
8. When actually it's like this.
9. It's perfectly acceptable to dance to the Baywatch theme tune even when the lights have come up and there's no one else left on the dance floor.
10. The same applies for "Never Forget".
11. It was always known as Rixies…
12. It is far too easy to get drunk in here.
13. This boat makes no sense in the daylight.
Or when you're sober.
14. The cold weather is not a problem.
15. However, the "Durham wind" is a complete bastard.
16. Posh people all dress like their parents.
17. Formals are like feasts from Harry Potter.
18. College day is the best day of the year.
And the messiest.
19. This is the compulsory uniform and you will hold onto it forever.
20. Everyone reckons they hate Hatfield college…
21. But no one has any idea why.
22. Because it's impossible to really hate anything about a uni based in a city this great*.

November 26, 2014
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Last year's California kindergartners had a record high percentage of parents who used a personal belief exemption to avoid immunization requirements, a development that concerns state health officials.
More than 11,000 kindergartners missed at least one vaccine in 2010 because their parents decided to forgo inoculation. At nearly 2.5 percent of the state's 470,000 kindergartners, that's California's highest rate of declined vaccines since at least 1978, the year before the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine was required.
The debate over childhood vaccinations has been growing throughout California, where last year a deadly spike in whooping cough cases killed 10 babies and sickened more than 9,100 people. The outbreak prompted a state law requiring middle and high school students to get booster shots before going back to school this year.
