Hi all,
I've had my beer fermenting in the fermenter 4 weeks and will be going on holiday. Not sure if I should keg it or leave it in the fermenter. How long would it last in the keg?
Keg it. Purge out the O2 with the CO2 and either let it sit, or set it to the set/forget pressure in the frige to carb.
Will last a LONG time in the keg in a CO2 environment.
Great thanks.
If I want to set/force pressure in the fridge to carbonate what pressure would I want to use? 30psi?
9-10 psi in a cool fridge (say 40 deg F) if you want light carbonation. 12 psi for average carbonation. 14-15 psi for high carbonation (must have long enough beer lines for this to avoid excessive foaming).
If your fridge is colder and near freezing, a tad less pressure is needed. If it's near 50F, a tad more pressure is needed. There are carbonation charts on this site if you search for them.
I have the same 'going on holiday' issue and want to know if I can low carb an ale and leave it in the fridge at this low pressure and dial it up when I get back after a month, or is it not that simple? This way the keg would be a low pressure secondary.
The beer will keg for years in a keg, that real worries is what type of beer is it. Like a stout you can keep 5-10 years and will get better with time, while an IPA, normally should be drank as fresh as possible.

Hitman: Absolution
Save glitch fixed ?
My save was just deleted today, so no, it hasn't been fixed, unfortunately. Pissed me the hell off.
They seriously need to fix/correct this as it is a major game breaking problem, I guess I will not be returning to this game any time soon then, I feel bad for my friend since he had his save file erase itself and told me about it, needless to say he was pissed as hell.
I wonder why they even shipped this out if they had a huge issue like this in the game, someone had to encounter it while it was in development or being tested.
"Always two there are, a master and an apprentice"
I don't consider it a huge issue, it doesn't happen for everyone.... it is an annoying issue but other games have shipped in much worse conditions than Absolution...
XBLGT = ShellmanQCM --- D3ID = Shellman#1293
Now Playing = The Walking Dead, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings & Hitman: Absolution --- Waiting For = GTA V
Mine did it today, so no its not fixed.
Bruste? GT: Colonel Hans
what should i do so this thing doesnt happen again???
Back up save to USB drive or the cloud (if you have Xbox live gold as opposed to silver) after each level...
When at the lost and found screen upon mission completion select Main Menu instead of Continue. Save file to a second source then continue the game via the Continue option in Main Menu instead of the Level Select.
Game save was lost on the start of the epilogue. Xbox froze while game was auto saving at start of level. When I replayed the game I was able to finish without any issue. It does not happen all the time so best thing to do is protect yourself

There is no sign for Sacha's Café, but financial district fans are finding it for morning coffee and quick lunches. The small, sleek space is tucked into the back of the ground floor of the JPMorgan Chase office tower. Folks queue at the counter for a
grab-and-go sandwich (prosciutto with fresh mozzarella is the bestseller) or to order a custom-made one. There are daily specials from soups to sweets.
German chef-owner Hans Viertl grew up on a farm in Bavaria and dreamed of seeing the world. He became a chef after an apprenticeship and worked in Munich and Paris, then for Club Med for 18 years. Viertl was sent to Miami to manage resorts in the Caribbean, and met his wife, Sonia, here. She is of Armenian descent and grew up in Montreal. They adopted their son, Sacha, from Russia 22 years ago. The couple ran a gourmet food and wine shop in Coral Gables, but sold it six years ago to go into the cafe business. (Sacha's also has locations in Coral Gables and the Blue Lagoon area near the airport.)
Start the day with a yogurt and granola parfait with fruit or an omelet. Specials on a recent lunch visit were grilled vegetable and goat cheese quiche, a wrap with curried chicken salad, spinach and roasted garlic soup and penne carbonara.
Salads range from spicy tuna to couscous with chickpeas, caramelized onions and chicken. Breads include slim ficelle, baguette, ciabatta, whole grain and croissant to craft a sandwich with roasted turkey, Genoa salami, honey ham or country pate with Gouda, Cheddar or Manchego.
Tempting brownies, apple strudel and gourmet chocolate bars are near the checkout register for a treat.

Tron: Evolution: The Video Game Will Launch With DLC
by Brad Nicholson on
Ha! Now you wouldn't dare buy the game used!
That, however, is something we can't gauge at the moment. What we do know is that it will be composed of two multiplayer maps ("Codestream Nexus" and "User's Plaza," according to Big Download) and will contain a skin of protagonist Sam Flynn for use in multiplayer games.
In other Tron: Evolutio news, it appears as if a bunch of Tron avatar gear will be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace in the very near future. Joystiq reports that both clothing and props will be offered alongside a flashy new premium theme on Thanksgiving day, November 25. Above is just a taste of what you can give to your little guy, if you so choose.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Redford says no to lotto/gaming scheme to fund $107M shortfall on Oiler arena
EDMONTON - Alberta Premier Alison Redford says a new lottery or gambling scheme is not in the cards to cover the $114-million shortfall for a new arena for the Edmonton Oilers.
Redford, in an interview Friday, said while Finance Minister Doug Horner has recently mused publicly about such alternative funding programs, Alberta's tight finances won't allow it.
She said Edmonton, like all communities, can fund the project using provincial infrastructure grant money through the multibillion-dollar Municipal Sustainability Initiative, known as MSI.
"Every community in this province can make the decision that it wants to in terms of their community priorities with MSI funding," said Redford.
"But in terms of other streams of funding it's not something that any community should be contemplating, particularly in these fiscal times."
On Thursday, Redford announced that falling prices for oilsands bitumen are expected to blow a $6-billion hole in the upcoming 2013-14 provincial budget.
Redford's comments came two days after the city and Oilers owner Daryl Katz agreed on a framework deal to build a $480-million downtown arena for the NHL franchise.
Once surrounding infrastructure is added in, the cost will be $601 million, paid for by the city, the Oilers, a ticket tax, with another $107 million hopefully coming from the province and $7 million from the federal government.
Alberta NDP Leader Brian Mason said while the gaming idea is kaput, the game is still on given that Katz, his family, and business associates donated $430,000 to Redford's Progressive Conservative Party in last spring's election.
"Given the fact that (Katz) donated $430,000 to them in the last campaign and saved their neck, that's one promise I expect (Redford) to actually keep," said Mason.
Alberta's chief electoral officer is investigating whether Katz violated the maximum individual donation limit of $30,000.
Earlier this month, Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith suggested a keno lottery to fund the arena and keep tax dollars for other priorities.
Redford didn't act on that, and Smith said there's nothing to be done.
"I think we did our part, looking at various options and putting forward a responsible proposal," said Smith.
"It's disappointing that (Redford) is not going to consider it."
Construction is slated to begin in the fall and the arena should be ready for pro hockey by 2016. The rink is a futuristic design of glass walls and wavy horizontal lines.
Edmonton taxpayers are to pay $219 million toward the 18,559-seat facility. The Oilers' share will be $143 million. Another $125 million will come from a ticket tax.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government has said there's no money for projects like arenas for pro hockey teams.

Dystopian Tools - The Cube
By RazzaTazz 4 Comments
I am not exactly sure where this series of related posts might go, but I am sure of one thing – they are not particularly related to comics. Seeing as it is one of the stipulations of my blogs that I have to incorporate in comics, I will try to do so when I can, but mostly these are my own observations about dystopian literature and specifically so of the things which seem to be included in dystopian fiction. It has been a while since I read 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 but recently I decided to finish off what is considered to be the third of the three major English language dystopian novels, Brave New World. With this as the end I decided to read up on the subject a bit more and found that Brave New World was inspired in parts from a book by Yevgeny Zamyatin called We. The similarities to Brave New World are apparent , and it is easy to see how Orwell assumed that Huxley had read this first. As in most of the dystopian societies, the state has come to control the people as treat them almost as a single organism (thus where the name We comes from.) The concept behind this control is one of logic and science, where humans have been freed from the need to do things like be concerned with clothing or their romantic lives as the state takes these matters under its own control. The main character is a rocket scientist but starts to lose his faith in the system (I can't spoil the end of the book, because I haven't finished it yet.) Yet as he loses his faith in the system, he struggles to come back to it, and one of the things he takes comfort in is the cube, which represents a degree of order and the primacy of science. It had not occurred to me before but cubes are actually used somewhat throughout fiction, as a device to represent something both very basic but also very ordered.
To think of it in geometry terms, the most basic shape could said to be a triangle (aside from a line or a point.) A rectangle is a couple of stipulations above this, namely that all the interior angles have to equal, and that two groups of sides have to equal as well. Thus a rectangle is still a very basic shape, when it is not the most basic. A square is the next level of order above this, wherein all the sides must also be equal, but as a geometric rule all squares have to be rectangles, but not all rectangles have to be squares. Pushing the square into the third dimension creates the next stipulation, but a fairly basic one. Still to get to the point of a cube requires a fair amount of control, and generally speaking one which does not occur on its own in nature (I realize I am stating the obvious here and running on a little.) In terms of how this relates to cubes is that their properties are very much conducive to science fiction generally and specifically to dystopia as they represents both simplicity and control. Whereas something as simplistic as the anti-life equation can be said to control all life for the New Gods, equally something like a cosmic cube can also be something of great power in the Marvel Universe through its simplicity, just as it is for the residents of the world in We. (I got some comic references in there at the end.)

"Great, good for reflux, can bounce baby to sleep…"
Help with reflux. my baby has only been sick twice in the hammock And is always sick when in a bed.
Saves you back and arms as you can bounce the baby to sleep
Strong and sturdy
Frame collapses for travelling and overnight stays.
Bulky Frame (If purchased again I would buy a different frame)
Can be difficult to get the baby in a hammock as hammock swings when you place baby inside. I managed this by holding baby with one hand and the other hand holding the hammock in place.Read moreLess

"Fantastic...can not rate it highly enough!…"
I bought this after reading lots of reviews and it is quite simply the best thing I have ever bought. Our daughter sleeps in her hammock day and night suspended from either the door fitting during the day and the stand at the side of our bed at night. She has been happy and settled in her hammock from day one! She is now six weeks old and only wakes once in the night. The great thing is with just a little rocking and bouncing she is asleep in no time at all and the gentle movement helps her to settle herself too. I highly recommend this hammock.Read moreLess

"I bought the Miyo for my LO, who despite having…"
I bought the Miyo for my LO, who despite having severe reflux has always slept brilliantly in her hammock. From newborn she slept 5 hour stints and by 9 weeks old she was sleeping from 7pm - 5am! I got the stand for napping downstairs and installed ceiling hooks in our room for night-time sleeping. Both ways of suspending the hammock worked well and I even dismantled the stand and took it to my mums instead of using a travel cot. (Miyo do make a travel adaptor but my OH refused to buy this saying it looked too flimsy). The only negative aspects of this product have been the awkardness of access (hammock can swing wildly when trying to put baby in and baby can get feet/arms/head caught in the fabric on her way out). A minor irritation is that DD is often hard to see (particularly in a darkened room) but she doesn't care about that. However, my biggest issue with the Miyo is that DD has outgrown it (at nearly 4 months old). My LO is a tall baby, much more like a 6 month old but even so, I was a little disappointed that the Miyo didn't last longer.
We tried putting DD in her cot bed but she suffered terrible bouts of reflux and woke frequently through the night. In the end we decided to buy her a new hammock - Happy Hangup, from Australia. This hammock is brilliant and is even more effective for her reflux since you can position the cushion accordingly. The bounce action is also far superior to the Miyo and DD can stretch out her little arms and legs(making transition from hammock to cot bed more easy on her when reflux has abated). I am still using the Miyo frame but have also installed another hook in her room (she can enjoy her Happy Hangup until she is 3), there are none of the problems with access and you can see baby easily at a glance. Finally, the Happy Hangup is made of a patterned material which is supposedly great for ocular convergence (am sure this would be true with a newborn but am not sure with 4 month old), my LO loves looking at the patterns though and will lie quietly at bedtime until she falls asleep (weird)! My only bugbear is with Royal Mail who charged us ridiculous import fees which bumped up the price of the otherwise reasonable Hangup! If buying again I would see if I could purchase through Ebay.
In conclusion, I am a great fan of baby hammocks, especially for babies with regurgitation issues. I am convinced that my DD has been able to thrive despite her painful reflux because she is able to sleep well and keep more food down than if she had been lying flat on her back. If buying again I would obviously choose the Happy Hangup - it looks a little less stylish and a bit more 'earth mother' (something I quite like) but it will last a bigger baby for longer and functions more effectively - quite simply a great piece of kit that I will be using with my next baby!Read moreLess

"Chose this because it promised better sleep, it doesn't take…"
Chose this because it promised better sleep, it doesn't take up a lot of room (when hanging from the ceiling) and it looks attractive.
Had an issue with the spring being too stiff, but this was eventually resolved by a new spring from the seller.
At 4 weeks, it's too soon to expect my DS to sleep through the night, but he only wakes up twice, which good enough for me.
Main drawback is that with all the swaying and dipping, it's
difficult putting a sleeping baby in it.Read moreLess

"I thought this looked better than the Amby and I…"
I thought this looked better than the Amby and I love the fact that you can hang it from the ceiling or in a door frame. This means that (a) you don't need the stand so it's half the price and (b) you can bundle it up in seconds and take it elsewhere. My son hated his Moses basket and was starting to try to push his way out of it but he loves the hammock and rocks himself to sleep quite happily. It claims to have 4 out of 5 babies sleeping through the night by 4 months old; we've had it a fortnight so we'll see!
The only drawback is that there's a knack to getting the baby in and out; it tends to swing away from you as you're inserting your child!Read moreLess

Fight over caste threatens India's economic reform plans

- Section 66A: 21 individuals whose petitions changed the system
- Government is willing to compromise on land bill: Venkaiah Naidu
- A little reminder: No one in House debated Section 66A, Congress brought it and BJP backed it
The government does not have a parliamentary majority and relies on support from the SP as well as its bitter rival, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which draws its support from low caste dalits, formerly know as untouchables.
"We will vote against the bill. We want similar reservation for OBCs and minorities. The bill in the present form would divide society," SP general secretary Mohan Singh said.
The chaos in parliament underlines the problems the government will face in coming months as it tries to balance the conflicting demands of allies in order to pass the economic reforms and big ticket welfare programs ahead of general elections due in early 2014.
The upper house is expected to vote later in the day on a constitutional amendment to allow the affirmative action measure. SP leader Mulayam Singh has threatened to withdraw support from the government over the caste bill, which is supported by most other parties.
However, analysts say the SP may be reluctant to withdraw support totally from the government because of a legal investigation into Singh's assets. At the weekend the party accused the ruling coalition of blackmailling him with the threat of further investigation by a federal agency.
Sixty years after independence for Britain, issues around caste still play a major role in India n politics, with leaders from the dalit castes - formerly called untouchables - fighting for quotas for sought-after government jobs.
Both Mahatma Gandhi and India 's 1949 constitution sought to unravel the caste system, but the identity politics of quotas has become a powerful electoral tool for parties across the spectrum, affirming rather than abolishing stratification.
The idea of preferentially promoting people from low castes through the civil service, not just reserving some jobs for them, is particularly controversial and was opposed even by the dalit politician responsible for crafting the constitution, B. R. Ambedkar.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi is on a tour of flood and cloudburst-hit areas of Uttarakhand, where 60 people have died and thousands rendered homeless in the past few days.
Accompanied by Defence Minister A.K. Antony and senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh, Ms. Gandhi arrived at Joly Grant Airport near here and took a helicopter to fly to the affected areas in Haridwar, Tehri and Kumaon.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank had on Monday made an aerial survey of parts of the State hit by floods, landslides and cloudbursts and announced a relief of Rs. 1 lakh to the next of kin of those killed in the natural calamity.
Mr. Nishank had visited areas like Tehri, Haridwar, Nainital and Almora to asses the loss of lives and property.
At least 60 people have died and thousands rendered homeless due to incessant rains and floods during the past few days in the hill state. Mr. Nishank said a total of 412 families in 25 villages have been affected in Tehri and Uttarkashi districts by the rising waters of Tehri dam. He said over 8,000 people have been evacuated to safer areas due to floods in the state. He also demanded a package of Rs. 5,000 crore from the Centre to tackle the situation, an official statement said.

Leatherman Argentum collection
By Darren Quick
August 5, 2008
August 5, 2008 In the spirit of finding any excuse to bling up just about anything, Leatherman are celebrating their 25th anniversary with the release of the Argentum Collection – a line of limited edition leatherman tools hand crafted by silversmith Adrian Pallarols.
The collection is made up of seven different pieces, with the top of the line Charge Dorado displaying ornate Victorian touches and an 18K gold and sterling silver handle featuring the company's 25th Anniversary crest and Tim Leatherman's signature. It also includes a display box and certificate of authenticity and is yours for US$40,000.
If that's a bit steep for your toolbelt the range works its way down to US$240 for the Squirt Lagrima de Luna. While the tools might be a little too special to tackle that malfunctioning toilet cistern, they are fully functional and come with a 25-year warranty.

Sunlight Labs API Gem
NOTE: This file is formatted in Textile and best viewed on GitHub.
See RDoc.info for the full RDoc.
A little gem that integrates with the Sunlight Labs API. From the official site:
The Sunlight Labs API provides methods for obtaining basic information on Members of Congress, legislator IDs used by various websites, and lookups between places and the politicians that represent them. The primary purpose of the API is to facilitate mashups involving politicians and the various other APIs that are out there.
Full API documentation available here.
Also, the Sunlight gem integrates with the Google Maps API for street address geocoding. Because some zip codes overlap two or more congressional districts, passing in a latitude/longitude will give users the most accurate information. Since it's highly unlikely a user would know their exact lat/long, the Google Maps API is used to translate a street address string into a lat/long pair.
The following gems are required:
- json
- geocoder
$ sudo gem install json geocoder
Then, install the gem:
$ sudo gem install sunlight
Set Up
First, register for an API key here.
Then, you'll want to stick the following lines somewhere in your Ruby environment. Note, this set up changed slightly as of version 0.9.0:
require 'rubygems'
require 'sunlight'
Sunlight::Base.api_key = 'yourapikeyfromtheurlabove'
If you're testing this out in IRB, you'll run them one at a time. If you're using Rails >=2.1, stick them in a file called
sunlight.rb in
RAILS_ROOT/config/initializers. They'll load on app startup.
The Sunlight gem fully wraps the Sunlight Labs API.
Time to get to the good stuff. The most useful method is
congresspeople = Sunlight::Legislator.all_for(:address => "123 Fifth Ave New York, NY 10003")
senior_senator = congresspeople[:senior_senator]
junior_senator = congresspeople[:junior_senator]
representative = congresspeople[:representative]
junior_senator.firstname # returns "Kirsten"
junior_senator.lastname # returns "Gillibrand"
junior_senator.congress_office # returns "531 Dirksen Senate Office Building"
junior_senator.phone # returns "202-224-4451"
Note that you should make the best attempt to get a full street address, as that is geocoded behind the scenes into a lat/long pair. If all you have is a five-digit zip code, you should not use
Legislator#all_for, instead opting for
Legislator#all_in_zipcode (see below). If you pass in a zip+4, then go ahead and use
Legislator#all_for returns a hash of
Legislator objects, and the keys are
:junior_senator, and
:representative. Make sure to review all the available fields from the Sunlight Labs API. You can also pass in a lat/long pair:
congresspeople = Sunlight::Legislator.all_for(:latitude => 33.876145, :longitude => -84.453789)
This bypasses the geocoding necessary by the Google Maps API. For social networks and other applications with a User object, it makes sense to geocode the user's address up front and save the lat/long data in the local database. Then, use the lat/long pair instead of address, which cuts a substantial bit of time from the
Legislator#all_for request since the Google Maps API Geocoding function doesn't have to be called.
Have a five-digit zip code only? You can use the
Legislator#all_in_zipcode method, but keep in mind that a single zip may have multiple U.S. Representatives, as congressional district lines frequently divide populous zip codes. Unlike
Legislator#all_for, this method returns an array of legislators, and it'll be up to you to parse through them (there will be a senior senator, a junior senator, and one or more representatives).
members_of_congress = Sunlight::Legislator.all_in_zipcode(90210)
members_of_congress.each do |member|
# do stuff
You can also use the
Legislator#all_where method for searching based on available fields. Again, you'll get back an array of
Legislator objects:
johns = Sunlight::Legislator.all_where(:firstname => "John")
floridians = Sunlight::Legislator.all_where(:state => "FL")
dudes = Sunlight::Legislator.all_where(:gender => "M")
johns.each do |john|
# do stuff
Lastly, to provide your users with a name search functionality, use
Legislator#search_by_name, which uses fuzzy matching to compensate for nicknames and misspellings. So "Ed Markey" (real name Edward Markey) and "Jack Murtha" (real name John Murtha) will return the correct matches. You can specify a higher confidence threshold (default set to 0.80) if you feel that the matches being returned aren't accurate enough. This also returns an array of
Legislator objects:
legislators = Sunlight::Legislator.search_by_name("Ed Markey")
legislators = Sunlight::Legislator.search_by_name("Johnny Boy Kerry", 0.91)
There's also the
District object.
District#get takes in either lat/long or an address and does it's best to return the correct Congressional District:
district = Sunlight::District.get(:latitude => 33.876145, :longitude => -84.453789)
district.state # returns "GA"
district.number # returns "6"
district = Sunlight::District.get(:address => "123 Fifth Ave New York, NY")
Finally, two more methods,
District.all_from_zipcode and
District.zipcodes_in, help you out when you want to get all districts in a given zip code, or if you want to get back all zip codes in a given district.
districts = Sunlight::District.all_from_zipcode(90210) # returns array of District objects
zipcodes = Sunlight::District.zipcodes_in("NY", "10") # returns array of zip codes as strings ["11201", "11202", "11203",...]
Members of Congress sit on all-important
Committees, the smaller bodies that hold hearings and are first to review legislation.
Committee object has three identifying fields, and an array of subcommittees, which are
Committee objects themselves. To get all the committees for a given chamber of Congress:
committees = Sunlight::Committee.all_for_chamber("Senate") # or "House" or "Joint"
some_committee = committees.last
some_committee.name # "Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry"
some_committee.id # "SSAF"
some_committee.chamber # "Senate"
some_committee.subcommittees.each do |subcommittee|
# do some stuff...
Committee object also keeps a collection of members in that committee, but since that's an API-heavy call, it must be done for each Committee one at a time:
committees = Sunlight::Committee.all_for_chamber("Senate") # or "House" or "Joint"
some_committee = committees.last # some_committee.members starts out as nil
some_committee.load_members # some_committee.members is now populated
some_committee.members.each do |legislator|
# do some stuff...
Coming from the opposite direction, the
Legislator object has a method for getting all committees for that particular Legislator, returning an array of
Committee objects:
legislators = Sunlight::Legislator.search_by_name("Byron Dorgan")
legislator = legislators.first
legislator.committees.each do |committee|
# do some stuff...

The bigger a pot, the more it costs. Why not make your own inexpensive container, one that can withstand the test of time and the elements? Learn how to construct a homemade hypertufa trough.
More in Outdoors
Materials and Tools:
-mold—can be a saucer, dish pan, planter, or box
-plastic wrap, any type of lightweight plastic (say, a garbage bag) to line the mold
-containers to mix ingredients and for measuring
-gloves, rubber or latex
-face mask for the mouth and nose
-dowel rods, cut into six-inch lengths, for making drainage holes (ordinary 3/4- to one-inch-diam. sticks will do)
optional: 1/4-inch hardware cloth for screening peat moss
-wire brush to roughen finish on outside of trough
Trough Ingredients:
-Portland cement, one part
-peat moss, one to one-and-a-half parts
-coarse sand or perlite, one to one-and-a-half parts (Note: Perlite will make the trough lighter in weight, shown below right, but sand will give it a smoother finish, shown below left.)
-Water, one part
The standard recipe for hypertufa troughs consists of the following dry ingredients: Portland cement, peat moss and coarse sand or perlite. Water acts as a wetting agent to combine these three components together. There are various formulas for the mixture that range from one-one-one to one-two-two and depend on the weight and look that you desire for your trough.

This review used Kodak Xtralife batteries, not Kodak MAX, which is what Woot is offering. Different batteries I believe. Not sure of the difference but they both get only 3.5 stars on Amazon (same price too). Not great but not terrible either. You get what you pay for IMO.
nik888 wrote:If you want crappy, used, defective products and terrible customer service then go ahead and sign up quickly with Woot.
These batteries are probably made out of bubble-gum.
Bubble Gum you say ....such wisdom!
I purchased the last Kodak Battery deal from Woot. I use the batteries to power my microphones and portable video monitor's I use for video taping sports events (6yrs).
I know exactly how long these last compared to what I usually use (Walgreen Brand Alkaline). After filming a whole football season the Kodaks never made it through a complete game whereas the Walgreens aways did. Sticking with the local Home Team store WALGREENS !
Love da Woot though, embrace the woot!
Dave in Milwaukee
But some about 2 months ago, did not last long. I think they are expired but there is no date. Some seem to keep a charge long. No sure if it is the battery or their age.
Good price, but I'd rather pay more for rechargeables.
I've never had good luck with Energizer.. . have had several explode, corrode, or just plain die for no reason. Even the Apple wireless keyboards that shipped with Energizer Industrial have corroded inside the keyboards from sitting sealed on the shelf... Rendering the $69 keyboards junk
I have these Kodaks in my wireless keyboards, wireless mice, smoke alarms, flashlights with no issues.
I am also using them in my "higher end" Kodak camera with good results.
I just grabbed a ton of the AC Delco batteries on here a few days ago... if it wasn't for that I would buy more of these Kodaks.
For my power thirsty items I use Duracell rechargeables (that I also bought here on woot).
For the price, these Kodaks are worth it.

Passenger57 wrote:Good price, but I'd rather pay more for rechargeables.
True.... but most rechargables wont hold up in smoke alarms, flashlights, clocks, remotes, wireless keyboards, wireless mice, ect. Most rechargeables dont stay charged when not in use, unless you pay good money for "stay charged" batteries
So what are you doing here? Someone got a gun to your head?
FlamingoNut wrote:I'm sorry, but Kodak has to be the worst battery I have ever used. The shelf life is horrible, and once you insert the battery into a device, it never fails that they need to be replace shortly thereafter. The multipacks are always on sale at Shoprite for next to nothing, and I won't even buy them then. Major fail.
I work for the leading U.S. distributor of Kodak batteries. The Kodak "Multipacks" you're referencing that are sold "for next to nothing" at ShopRite stores on the East Coast are "Heavy Duty" (Carbon Zinc) batteries, NOT "Alkaline" batteries. Heavy Duty batteries are a good value as well, but must be used in Low Drain devices (as indicated on the back of each pack), such as traditional flashlights, basic remote controls, clocks, smoke detectors, etc. The shelf life of Heavy Duty/Carbon Zinc batteries is also about half of Alkaline right from the start. The shelf life of these Kodak Alkaline batteries are good through 2019 and performance is Long-Lasting in all devices, both High Drain and Low Drain.
This brings up a pet peeve of mine. Why are battery manufacturers allowed to sell their product (which is ENERGY) without having to tell you how much of it you are buying? Gasoline manufacturers have to tell you the octane rating; natural gas is sold by the therm; the electric company charges you by the kilowatt-hour. All the battery guys have to do is tell you the size and how many are in the package when they SHOULD have to tell you the watt-hour (or more likely for AA and AAAs) the milliwatt-hour rating. There is NO WAY to comparison shop battery brands by looking at the packaging. Unit pricing SHOULD apply to batteries the same way it applies to anything else you buy in the grocery store, only it should be price per energy unit. I have written the Federal Trade Commission about this glaring omission in consumer protection but they either choose to ignore it or (more likely) have no idea what I am talking about. The only testing I am aware of (by the likes of Consumer Reports, etc.) seem to measure how long batteries last under specified load conditions. This is marginally helpful if you happen to carry the report around with you, but useless for comparison purposes at the point-of-sale, particularly for "off" brands, most of which are not covered in the testing, and which are the worst offenders in this amazingly wide-spread scam. Am I the only one who thinks something should be done about this?
You can see in the picture they are made in China. Which means they are garbage. Walmart has packs of 36 Rayovac batteries for $10. They are made in the USA and are excellent batteries. So who would buy this Chinese junk for the same price??!!
danwat1234 wrote:P.S.@ around 2 post above, yeah "Heavy Duty" = Zinc Carbon battery = total crap, it's really "light duty"
The reason they're called "heavy duty" is that they were an improvement over the older ZC ("general purpose" or GP) formulation that didn't perform as well under heavier power load.
Then alkaline batteries were popularized in (I think) the 80s and performed even better than ZC Heavy Duty.
I don't think you can even get GP batteries anymore.
Kudos to you. I agree. You always end up saving a lot of money, and being kind to the environment as well, reducing a lot of packaging waste and toxic wastes.
I'd HIGHLY recommend using Sanyo's Eneloop rechargeables. They last longer (lower internal resistance) and one cell replaces 1,500, reducing waste. All wedding photographers swear by them.

I do prefer rechargeable batteries, but honestly the difference in power between them and alkaline batteries has me kind of worried (1.5v alkalines vs 1.2 v NiMH rechargeable). I have a lot of kid's toys that require several batteries, and once you factor the difference in power for all of the batteries, it adds up. I personally haven't conducted any experiments regarding power loss, but I really don't want to spend way more money on something that possibly isn't going to cut it...
Well, I ordered some, so hopefully it's at least sugar free bubble gum. I wouldn't want any cavities! Woot customer service has ALWAYS been SUPERB for me, so I'm not sure what you did to make them hate you so much.
What can it hurt to have a few extra batteries lying around. Even if they may be a short charge. They will come in handy in the long run.
I'll stick with US made Rayovac or Duracell's. They last much longer than cheap Chinese alkalines (of any brand).

I think we have a winner ladies and gentlemen
I bought Kodak Extralife batteries last time and have not had any problems with them. The back of the package says 2011 and I believe that is the manufacture date. I have other batteries than Kodak and their pkg. says 7 yr shelf life so I am sure Kodak is comparable.
Well at least they're Alkaline. Woot use to sell carbon zinc which are totally worthless.
In for two. One for me, one for Salvation Army. They've helped me on the past and I'd like to return the favor. Thanks Woot!
In for 3. Despite what folks here are saying I have purchased these over and over and they handle my kids toys reasonably well, especially when you consider the cost...
Unless you are bent on the longest lasting alkaline AA cells at any price, go for the best value per watt. At $.27 per cell (shipped) this is a good value. I've used these Kodak cells and they last just about as long as the conventional Energizer and Duracell.

Yes, the date on the back of most retail battery packages is the date of manufacture, while the "Shelf Life", "Good Thru" or "Best if Used By" date is always listed on the front (usually in a bottom corner) and can also be found on the bottom of the battery cell itself on Kodak Alkaline batteries. These Kodak Alkaline batteries were all just produced in 2012 and are "Best if Used By" 2019!
And you were able to determine this by one purchase and being a customer for all of 15 days....good bye, go complain somewhere else

yeahbuddy wrote:Consumer Reports results summarized at http://www.ksla.com/story/5631320/consumer-alert-finding-the-best-battery-bargains?clienttype=printable
Powering everything from digital cameras and portable music players to laser tools and even tape measures, it's no wonder we spend over four-billion dollars a year on batteries. But how do you know what's the best battery for your needs?
Consumer Reports just ran tests on 16 different disposable double-A batteries, including ones from Duracell, Panasonic, and Energizer. There were four types in all - lithium, premium alkaline, regular alkaline, and nickel oxy-hydroxide.
Tests evaluated the battery life in high-drain devices, like a digital camera, and medium-drain devices such as a CD player.
"Our tests showed big differences in battery performance depending on what's being powered. So it really makes sense when you're buying disposable batteries to have a specific device in mind,"said one expert, Kim Kleman.
The best battery for a digital camera turned out to be the Energizer e-2 Lithium, which easily outperformed the Duracell Power Pix and Panasonic Oxyride batteries. At two-dollars-and-35-cents a piece, the Energizer was the most expensive battery tested. But considering the e-2 ran three to seven times longer than the batteries tested - Consumer Reports says it's worth the extra cost.
"But when it comes to devices that don't need a lot of power - you don't need to buy expensive batteries, just buy the cheapest highly rated alkaline you can find," says Kleman.
Consumer Reports tests found the Kirkland Signature double-A battery from Costco performed very well and goes for about 20-cents a piece.
OK, all you CostCo lovers, (1) Convince CostCo to build a warehouse less than 2 hours from my home; (2) Convince CostCo to provide me with a free membership or a HUGE bonus for signing-up!
I have a Sam's Club Business Membership (and two Sam's within 25 minutes of my house); BUT, if they have a better price than Woot...SO WHAT!!! Not everyone that Woots is a member of a silly warehouse shopping club. Some people, certainly not me, have better sense than to pay a company to shop in one of their outlets...eventually I will break even.
Be aware that batteries are among the most fraudulently-labeled items on the retail market. If these are not in original retail packaging or the inventory source is unknown, they are likely recycled used batteries or inferior copycat batteries made in China and marked with a major label (in this case Kodak).
Just be aware, and test the voltage on every single one (should be around 1.6V when new) if you buy.
"heavy duty" batteries are not for high drain devices. Though it sounds like they have more power, that's not entirely true or false. HD batteries are designed for longevity in low drain devices like tv remote controls and smoke detectors!!!

I've bought these Kodak batteries in the past from Woot and they have worked fine for me,not quite as good as the Kirkland brand but close.
LOL,somehow I think Costco will continue to do well without you buying a membership
Costco is the 3rd largest retailer in the U.S. (behind Wal-Mart & Kroger) and the 7th largest retailer in the world by sales, as well as ranking #25 on the Fortune 500.
It's worked out well for you and Costco,so lets keep things as they are.

I can hardly wait to drive to Texas with my trusty VOM and ask Thunder Thighs if I can check the voltage on 72 batteries in Woot's warehouse! I agree that batteries can be a gamble but when you are buying 72 batteries at a time you are either a heavy user or you want to stockpile them.
I use Eneloop rechargeables on the toys that I use often but you shouldn't leave batteries in devices that you use only occasionally.
When you take the partially used batteries out you need to put them somewhere. I put these alkalines in all the remote controls I have, most of which I don't use often. My kids are the heavy battery users and I let them raid a few remote controls to feed their toys.
It sounds complicated but the trick is to hide the stash of fresh batteries from the kids until most of the remotes are empty, then replenish the remotes. This causes all batteries all the devices to get changed more often and I always have a stash of reasonably fresh alkalines on hand.

Just FYI, these are not junk batteries. You don't know what you are talking about.
Kodak Distributor here again. I can assure you 100% these batteries are 100% new batteries (manufactured within last 6 months or less) and 100% manufactured by Kodak. Yes they are manufactured in China, but as has been mentioned, all High Value battery brands are now manufactured in China.
#1, Kodak is not out of business, and not even going out of business. They are nearly completed with a necessary restructuring and completely on track to emerge from this in early 2013.
#2, Kodak Alkaline batteries consistently outperform Maxell batteries.
#3, How are these "junk batteries" again?
I don't think you know what you're talking about here and I doubt you've even tried the Kodak batterie. I have used the Maxell and Kodak and I had better results with the Kodak. This is a very good deal especially if you're buying three sets.
