I have found this chain to be a very dependable, high performance chain. This is the 4 th time I have purchased the same chain and have typically gotten about 2500-3000 miles on each chain. I would highly recommend this product.
Excellent product and both work super. Delivery was a little slow to arrive but came in good shape from all the traveling the products went through. Thanks for the support.
Using OEM replacement due to normal wear. Very satisfied.
The chain came much sooner then I thought . Had no problem with the installation. I put about 200 miles on it with no problems, it's easy to clean a,d rides smooth.
Shims of pavkaged ultegra chain as advertised
The Ultegra chain performs well. Shifting is smooth and it holds up well. I typically get 2500miles / 3750km before I need to change it. For me it's the best balance of price and performance.
The shimano ultegra chain is a great value. I always get great mileage, but of course you have to keep it lubed and practice good shifting!!
Smooth ride, crisp response. Just hands down great!!!!!!
The only thing on my current ride that was not an Ultegra kit was the chain. Great upgrade. Smoother shifts and a bit less weight.
Thank you! Best prices anywhere for a quality product. Shipping was prompt and got to me faster than some places shipping right here in my own country! Probikekit is always my first option when looking to buy outstanding biking products at a great price.
Great service, cassette works great. Only question is that directions show a spacer washer next to lock ring which wasn't included in the package.
Nice chain, pretty smooth on the changes. Easy to install.
Perfectly Adequate Chain, no need for a Dura Ace or the like. A Great Value, Fast Shipping. Much faster than expected.
The best price around on the Shimano Ultegra replacement chain. Bicycling doesn't get any better!!!
Have used these chains for 3 years and have always gotten excellent service
This is an excellent chain for an unbeatable price. I've used then for years and replace each season to keep the drive-train going longer before I have to replace the cassette and chain rings.
Can't go wrong with Ultegra series.
Great chain for the price, cannot beat that price.
Bought two of these for me and two for a friend. Great chain and you can't beat the price. I had a problem with one chain due to the way it was put on. Shimano would not do anything about this, but Pro Bike Kit did. They are a great company. Have referred many satisfied persons to them. And their price on this chain was much lower than I could find anyplace else. Thanks PBK.
I have been useing the Ultegra groups since 1999. I usually replace the cassette and chain at about 7000 miles. All I do inbetween is lube and clean the chain. At about the 7000 mile mark shiifting becomes less than clean. Why spend triple the cost on 'better' groups when this works. I am currently riding a 6.2 Modone.
I've been using Shimano Ultegra components on my bikes for the last 15+ years. I've never had a component related failure. With regular cleaning and lubrication I have been able to get in excess of 5,000 miles on an Ultegra chain before my chain wear indicator tool recommended replacement, and even then shifting was still accurate and relatively crisp. I don't have a bottomless bank account, so I chose to go with the modestly priced Ultegra component group over the Dura-Ace. Yes, the Ultegra is a bit heavier, and the finish detail is not as sexy but it's every bit as performance oriented and reliable as the Dura-Ace for much less money. And over the years Shimano seems to trickle down technology and design features from Dura-Ace to Ultegra and even 105 so that the differences become less noticeable. For the price that PBK sells this chain it was an absolute no-brainer for me. I bought two !
Put this on when I upgraded my components. Shifts smooth and installs easy.
Excellent chain. Long wearing, shifts great; just what you want in a chain.
Excellent product with a really fast shipping.
Great chain thank you. Excellent Value.
Great stuff, as always, thanks Pierre V
An excellent chain for the price. You can't beat PBK.
I was using the Dura Ace 7800 chain, but started using the Ultegra CN-6701 chain. I think the Ultegra works just as good and lasts just as long. I replace my chains every 2500 to 3000 miles. I ride 8000 miles per year.
These were on sale for half off, so I ordered two. They arrived a couple weeks later in generic packaging, but they are new, 6701 chains. Great deal. Would definitely order from ProBikeKit again.
I bought two Ultegra CN-6701 chains recently, trying to see if they were going to be a bit quieter than my KMC X-10SL chains. They are nice and smooth and pretty quiet and am impressed. For the value a, they were a great bargain. I usually buy the KMC X-10SL's. They have been great chains, though a bit louder. Shimano chains definitely are quieter and smoother in the shifting but weigh a bit more. I give these a 4 star rating for being a great bargain and works really well. No need to move up to the dura-ace chain except for weight savings, but they are definitely more expensive, especially the way I change chains so often to keep my SRAM red cassettes in tip top shape.
Quite a good chain, at a very low price. I should probably buy more of them, because I find that bargain chains just don't work as near perfectly. And all chains wear out eventually, for me, about every 1800 miles, give or take. I've just installed one of these chains, and it works fine, no "clicking" and such. Somewhere in the world, someone is buying this same chain for perhaps twice as much.
It's 'cross season and that means the worst for drive-train components. At best, the chain survives many sessions with good maintenance but the sound of a breaking chain mid-race is not desirable. These are great chains with good plating (better than the 5700 version) and run quiet and shift well. At the discounted price, get an extra.
Great quality chain and very quiet. I ride on all Dura Ace components except for the chain and cassette which I only ride on Ultegra for durability and less in cost.
It's a big step up from their last iteration. Good price too compete with the KMC and the connector pin was pretty easy to install.

Imagine if someone punched you in the face, broke into your home to steal, or was responsible for the manslaughter or negligent homicide of someone you loved. There is no doubt of their guilt, but instead of jail time, they pulled out their fat wallets and paid a massive fine to the court and a few bucks trickled down to you.
This week, federal regulators let 10 mortgage servicers off the hook with no punishment of any consequences regarding massive foreclosure abuse. Instead, fines exceeding more than $10 billion will be paid, though not from those who made the decisions and provided oversight creating the problems.
There's no personal accountability. This fine will be paid from stockholder dividends and higher fees for customers. Individual bankers will face no indictments and lawyers reviewing internal documents won't lose licenses to practice law. Fines, no matter how large, do not change the culture.
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement, about the settlement:
"I am deeply disappointed that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve finalized this settlement and effectively terminated the Independent Foreclosure Review process before providing Congress answers to serious questions about how this settlement amount was determined, who these funds will go to, and what will happen to other families who were abused by these mortgage servicing companies, but have not yet had their cases reviewed."
He went on to note:
"I do not know what the rush was to make this settlement without answering these key questions, and although I look forward to obtaining information about how this deal may assist homeowners, I have serious concerns that this settlement may allow banks to skirt what they owe and sweep past abuses under the rug without determining the full harm borrowers have suffered."
Once again government regulators have enabled bad behavior. It's a bit like a dysfunctional family where one member has been conditioned to allow the bad conduct of the other. It is a vicious, incestuous cycle. Government bureaucrats have been conditioned by wrongdoers to react with fine settlements. It's a game the industry plays while helping Washington bureaucrats close files to provide the veneer of justice and resolution. This is unethical.
Banks and corporations don't break laws or engage in wrongdoing. Individuals, who happen to be bankers and lawyers, break laws, find loopholes, and make risky investments with major consequences for ordinary Americans. Once again, federal regulators will hold no individual accountable under the agreement reached. It sets the stage for it to happen again. Federal bureaucrats must give greater thought to ethical considerations in determining if the only consequence for a bank is a fine.
It's time to start considering criminal indictments for bankers and reporting lawyers to licensing oversight organizations. If either is not practical, then new laws are necessary to provide for it.

Inbreeding, and more importantly its consequences, has long been a concern of breeders as it reduces production, lowers fertility, causes more stillbirths and leads to fewer days in the herd. While genomics was hailed as a way to stem its tide, the exact opposite may be happening. Research indicates that relationships within respective breeds could be accelerating even faster since genomics' introduction five years ago. Even more concerning, there is also evidence that genetic diversity, another indicator of inbreeding, is shrinking.
We performed a simple study involving the top 100 DNA-tested or genomic-only young Holstein bulls to illustrate the point. There are actually 102 bulls in the group due to ties. These genetic all-stars range from $942 to $745 Net Merit dollars.
At first glance, there looks to be a great deal of diversity among the Holsteins' elite as 30 different bulls sired the top 102. However, a pedigree analysis on only the paternal side reveals that 90 percent of the bulls either have Oman, Planet or Shottle represented as the sire or grandsire. The remaining 10 bulls represent genetic diversity. However, the list needs further refining because 3 of the 10 remaining bulls have Oman's or Shottle's sire in the pedigree. That leaves seven bulls with unique sires among the Holstein breed's 102 elite.
Flipping to the dam's side, a similar standard indicated that five bulls and their sires fathered the dams or grandams of 82 percent of the breed's elite. When combining the sire's and dam's pedigrees, there are only three individuals among the top 102 genomic bulls that do not have DNA from Oman, Shottle, Planet, Goldwyn or Ramos.
Think you are out of the woods if you use another index? Think again. A similar exercise would reveal the same inbreeding pattern among top indexes like TPI (Total Performance Index) or high type bulls in the Holstein breed. Also, as Jersey breeders, our farm team has noticed similar obstacles.
As the race ensues among breeders and A.I. studs alike for the next breed leader, we need to exercise some self-control. That includes using a diverse mix of bloodlines and unique pedigrees. Genomics has proven it can find the best recombination of similar genetics. But to find an outlier, we still need the combination of genomics and progeny test programs. As the use of young genomic bulls nears the half-way point on farms, will we be patient enough to watch that process unfold or will you contribute to it?

Thanks for the full review. Hope that I can get this one by the end of next month. I like Nikon DSLR camera more than others. Thanks again and have a great day!
Amazing Nikon review. I think maybe i will buy this digital photo because have a good price for that performance.
awesome nikon review. I think this review will help all to buy the camera. This review help me alot
recently purchased this camera and love it !
The review of the camera is really comprehensive. Buyers will definitely have a good understanding of what their going to buy, and of course, window shoppers will have another new product on their lists.
I can say that the price of the camera is reasonable for it is compensated by the features. This camera is worth buying:).
Wow this is a really good review. Thank you so much. I'm thinking of buying this camera.
The price on this camera is surprisingly good in my opinion. Thanks for all the information!
I love this camera, everything looks great. I would love to get this. The only drawback is the shutter speed of 2Sec, which affects the night shots.
Cant anything be done about this?
I presently have the Nikon L110 in Red (for the wife) in Black for myself. This is a great point & shoot with many features that we like. Now Nikon comes along with an up_grade, possibly may look good for our inventory of Nikon camera's. We had other brands but we always bounce back to Nikon.
Thank you for this great review. I'm buying this camera.
Many thanks for an excellent review of the Nikon L120. That is a positive step forward for Nikon who really needs to bolster and shore-up their point and shoot line of cameras.
Sarah Joyce
Well done!! It is an excellent review…since i'm new in camera, this really helps me a lot!!
Is there a panorama function there for L120? I am considering whether to buy L110 or L120? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
I just bought this camera after I read the review. Such an amazing camera for the price! And the video is great for a camera.
I'm confused whether to buy this one or the Canon Powershot SX130IS.Image quality-wise both are equally good and picture sharpness too is at par..
So please suggest which one to go for..

Best Camera, waiting for P500
Did you really test the camera. The L120 has as apparently only 2AA batteries, not 4 as in the L110!
Coolpix L120 it is amazing camera recently i purchase this (14200/- Rs) camera quality is very good but the main problem is that in this camera use AA battery .It should be use Li-ion battery but over all u can say this is perfect camera for family use
###### up !!!!!
Re post 20, Is this a good or a bad thing??? Seems a good buy for a family camera,We are looking for something practical at a reasonable price, pretty thorough review,Cheery.
hey fantastic review..
m buying this camera..
but still confused with L120 or P500
P500 is a bit more costly but is it worth???
plz help me out..
I just don't get this sort of bridge camera. There's no point to the pretend pentaprism housing if there isn't a pentaprism there.
The daftest thing, however, about this particular camera is that zoom control. Why put it there when all the other controls have been carefully placed so that the photographer can use the camera one handed? It makes much more sense to place it near the shutter control or under the photographer's thumb. The two places that almost every other camera has them.
Dear Mr Nikon. There's a reason why nobody else put's their zoom control there. Because it's a stupid place to put it. Trying to differentiate your product from the competition by putting stupid features on it is a stupid strategy. Much better to make it stand out from from the crowd by making it better than the competition.
I thought Nikon were starting to pull their compacts out of the mire of late, but it looks like they are slipping back again with ill conceived features like this.
IAmAcamera… There are two zoom controls. One on the side and another in the standard area under the shutter control. Great camera, and great review.
I have recently bought this camera after much abated deliberation and for now, I am very happy with it. I have always had an interest in photography and think this camera makes the perfect'stepping stone' camera for those wishing to make the transition from point and shoot cameras to 'cameras of another level'...Good value for money and good for amateurs/learners such as myself :)
After series of review, I purchased NIKON L120 recently and its really worth for the spent. Its look and features are simply great.
I love my Nikon L120! Very self explanatory, didn't even have to open the manual. I wish it had more editing and creative features, but for $275 it's great! It takes awesome close ups of flowers, fabrics, anything! Amazing and recommended! Five stars from Michigan!
I bought this camera on the strength of this review, and got rid after a few days.
On the plus side it's light and comfortable to hold.
On the neutral side I found nothing wrong with the still images. But nothing very special, either.
On the minus side, I felt the video was well-below par for today's high standards.
But, as the guy who subsequently sold me an FZ45 said: you get a better lens with Panasonic.
He was right!
i just bought this cam today! So far so good. Its handy and the pics are great
Thats it…
After so many days of searching appropreate camera and so many reviews of many many camera, I put my choice on this… I'm going to buy this from my first salary… wowwieeee… I'm damn excited for this…!!!
Thank you for such a great review…!!! ^_^

Please let us know the image quality at night.
Recently, I have purchased at a price approx. 15k, and exploring a lot… this review has help a lot in exploring. well I am satisfied by the product.
@Robert: Thanks
Great camera in all category'except one and that
is it has no view finder only the live view on the
back. In bright sunlight it is hard to see your
image,all digital cameras should have an eye view.
This can be overlooked because everthing else is
great, the night shots are very good,the zoom is
outstanding both optial even in to digital zoom
but you do need a trypod or brace it on something.
I have had it about 2 weeks and tried everthing
on it and each one is very good,color, sharpness
ease of use. For the money you can't go wrong.
I have awards for my photography and am an advanced photographer, just be sure you read the
direction both the book and the softwere that you
put on your pc.I think you will be very happy with
this camera. So go get that fine art photograph
and win an award you can do it.Robert.
Can anyone please post any NIGHT photos? I really like this camera, but I'm afraid of the night photographs. I just want to shoot the city center and night streets, skyscrapers, glowing city from heights etc., "the usual stuff".
Also, does this camera support shooting 3 consecutive photographs with different exposures to create HDR images in the PC? Or at least the HDR function processed by the camera itself.
Thank you!
Hey everyone. I'm gonna buy the Nikon coolpix L120. I'm a begginer of the world of photography. I want a camera who makes sharp pictures, and a blur effect in the background. The nikon coolpix L120 can do that??
Thank you. :)
Hi all, I was all ready to buy this camera until I read this review, I mean when a top reviewer says, and I quote, "The image quality of the Nikon Coolpix L120 is best described as good rather than outstanding" I'm afraid this has put me off slightly, for me it's all about picture quality. Will have to start looking all over again.
Bought this camera and loved the ease of operation and picture quality. I also have the Panasonic DMC-FZ35, which is VERY complicated. I needed something simpler. I learned to use this Nikon after only 1 hour of reading the manual (compared to months still trying to figure out the Panasonic). Was easy getting great pictures. Smile detection and Pet mode worked terrific. Unfortunately, my primary reason for this type of hybrid camera, is for the convenience of camera and HD video in one unit. Video quality on this unit is well below average. I compared it to my Panasonic - no comparison. The Panasonic's video was smooth and clear, the Nikon - grainy and jerky. I really wanted to keep this camera for it's ease of use and picture quality, but the poor video quality ultimately caused me to return it. Until I find an easy to use camera with good picture and video, I'll continue with the months of trying to figure out the Panasonic.
Awesome camera! Great bang for your buck! Only had it for two weeks…very impressed. Would highly recommend.
I have the SAMSUNG DIGIMAX ES55 (10,2 megapixel) pink and i'll have the Nikon Coolpix L120 (14,1 megapixel) so the nikon is better or much better?
Aww!! Such a fantastic review. I'm thinking to buy this camera but I don't know much about camera world and you help me a lot. Big Thanks!!
Its excelent camera you can film and take good pictures for young starters to photography.also the bateries you can buy from any where.
l use re*chargable and have the spares.
very good camera for the frequent travellers,
use for many years and value will not decline so the quality will be the same over the years.
small compact cameras nearly same price.happy uses for many years
I have just bought the camera (without looking at the review!). After reading the review, I feel my gamble has paid-off!
Been a slight price drop on Amazon for this http://amzn.to/mAu1NW

Gr8 review, covered almost all parts, gr8 job, planning to have one..
keep going
After going through so many reviews in different different websites, finally decided to get Coolpix L120.
I purchased it last week and found it wonderful. Its easy to use and the 21x zoom does great job.
So far I like it.
Nikon Coolpix l120 is the best camera i have ever used…...amazing picture as well as video qualty…..worth buying….
plz help me , how to change date and time in my Nikon Coolpix L120 . That is still in ( 2.1.2011) 2nd January , 2011 .
how can i change the updating time
thx a lot for your helps…
It is an Excellent Camera With Nice Zoom and very user friendly
let us know the apprx price in india (Nagpur) of Nikkon L120 camera
Bought the L120 a few days ago, after taking a few pictures and videos. My review is that is a pretty good camera, it takes sharp images but the video is not very good. The zoom is not very good, especially zooming to the maximum. It doesn't focus, blurry, you cant get a good close-up. I am very disappointed. I suggested it to my spouse after reading many reviews. No one has pointed out the video blur.
bought this AFTER reading this review. choice was between fuji s 1800 and this. was influenced by the greater magnification of this (21 x vs 15 x). i like it because it is very easy to use. took some long shots - buildings about a km away; it manages it, but pic quality is grainy; chromatic aberration within acceptable limits. found it best for mid distance work (2 m to 15 m); pics sharb and bright. default setting for colour is somewhat dull; with the higher option, not bad at all. the cam tends to shake and vibrate in the telephoto mode. One has to take a great deal of care to avoid shake and vibration.
on the whole, good value for the money and i have no regrets. Oh, about night pics; color rendition is good; but that tendency to vibrate and shake is annoying. the makers recommend use a tripod stand but that is not practical.
hi guys, from all the comments posted here rather making more confusion than clarify. is nikon L120 a good cam with good IQ??? should i buy it??? can i manually control it??? and lot more questions…....
some found it good ...some not….
what is your opinion about Fuji s3300 or other superzoom s with MANUAL CONTROL AND MANUAL ZOOM RING
wow,seems the one i was waiting for.can't wait to buy this one.
This is an awesome camera! I had the Fuji S1800 and I really thought the colors were awful on my last trip. There was nothing vivid except for the night shots on tripods. I bought this Nikon L120 and the colors it produce are awesome. The reds are vivids, the blues are blues… In fact, I think it gives true colors. And I am amazed at the focus it gives in flower mode.
All in all a great price for the money. I used to be a Fuji fan, but after the issue with the S1800, I am not going back. This Nikon is a winner! It does not have any manual setting, but for the price (less than 200 canadian) who cares? I never used them anyways on my Fuji. If I wanted manual settings, I would buy a DSLR… and that is not what I want; I wanted a great point and shoot, and this one wins hands down.
this review has helped me decide on which camera to buy…..
thanks a lot!!!
I have purchased Nikon L120 before three days,i want to know that at the time of click any photo any hand is shivering than photo is come blud..so wat icon on this camers i shud use.
I have been using the Nikon L120 for 3 months now and it is an amazing lightweight camera. It does use 4 AA batteries but the energizer rechargables last a long time if u don't use the flash much like myself. Definitely the camera to buy.the macro turns the tiniest bugs into monsters !!!
purchased this one two days back.due to heavy rains unable to take it out;but tried it indoors and long shots.nice.value for money.go for it.
#8 as I've heard there can be 4s shutter speed in firework mode :)
Hi all, I got the Nikon L120 camera a week back the telezoom is amazing i managed to take a shot 4Kms away w/o shake or tripod and face of guy visible, I tried this camera in Khandala, India, i am a nikon fan have nikon L21/L18/L11, if you know photography this a awesome toy to have a the price is very cheap, and all Rupam studio guys deal with it ..even on ebay in mumbai, I use sanyo enloope 2500 miliamps batries, there are quite a good youtube videos by nikon guys on how to tie that shoulder strap, i used on to tie mine results are stunning
Thank you for a great and informative guide - I have a problem - tomorow is Father's Day in SA - how can I drop a hint in time? The L 120 costs nearly double in SA - I'm going to have to get someone to get me one is USA and bring it back. Thanks again - your insight and advice was an amazing help - I went into a local store here yesterday and the "assistant" was clueless!
" Gerard Boekel says Did you really test the camera. The L120 has as apparently only 2AA batteries, not 4 as in the L110!
Gerard not sure where you're getting your info but Nikon's site says it takes 4 AA's.
Quote: Power sources
Four LR6/L40 (AA-size) alkaline batteries (supplied), four FR6/L91 (AA-size) lithium batteries (optional), four EN-MH2 rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (optional), AC Adapter EH-67 (optional), Battery Charger MH-73(optional)
Hi I need some help I don't know if I should buy this Nikon L 120 or the Canon Elph 300HS. I'm a beginner photographer and it will be my first camera.
Note: If the Nikon L120 its better please advise me which battery's I should buy. Sorry for my Bad English
Thank you
Jonathan Torres
I just Purchased this Camera today, and personally I amnot happy with it. I realise this is not a professional camera, but the problems i have experienced with it are just stupid. I am by no means a shaky person, but non of my pictures turn out unless I have the damn thing strapped to a tripod. I breath the wrong way and the photo turns out blurred. Also, the macro Fuction to honest is a bit crap. My Mums old Fuji Film does better macro shots then this does, with out half the blurr. While I have managed to make the L120 zoom in on the diamonds in my ring, the old Fuji film will enlarge the tiniest grass flower to full screen in perfect quality. I think I will be taking it back and demanding a refund.
I owned the Nikon L100, the first in this series, took on a short road trip and very disappointed in the picture quality, colors were off was the main problem. I actually had 2 cameras with us and in side by side comparison everyone said the the Nikon was off. The thing is I really liked the size and feel of the L100 I really wanted to like it but got rid of it because it like I say 1. is subject matter 2. is the person behind camera 3. Is the camera itself. What I want to know is the L120 a much improved camera over the L100. I currently am doing most of my shooting with a Canon SX10, I'm mostly into landscapes, flowers, wildlife and sunsets. I've love to have a good DSLR but just can't swing that right now and I'd love find a super Zoom that's up to what I call good enough, a super zoom with a nice big size sensor. I'm not extremely happy with the SX10, main complaint is the control layout on the back. The only batteries I can much life out with the SX10 are the NiZn rechargables,
I loved this cam.. can review on batter life?
how many clicks its last for?
hi buddies….... can any one explain why different persons are commenting differently (best/good/bad)for the same camera Nikon L120 while this model has no manual control???? the modes being same for all the L120 cameras in the world…..... why focus, img qlty, macro are different to different persons????????/
I bought this for my 14 year old daughter and the pictures she is coming up with are fantastic. This seems to be a very versatile camera with good to great image quality - she has captured clear shots of bugs on flowers to birds sitting way up in the trees. The sport mode does lower the quality but can produce some interesting/nice pictures for your personal slide shows…. I've not seen the shake some people are mentioning at longer ranges. I admit at first it turned me off to not have manual settings - but the choices offered seem to cover most anything. The fireworks shots she took this past weekend were very very cool. As an all around camera for personal use I would not hesitate. I've pretty much decided on getting one to replace my older dSLR so I don't have to carry around a larger camera and extra lenses…
After reading this excellent review i bought this camera and absolutely love it. It fits perfectly in my hands, it is build with first class materials and it is much lighter of what it seems. Zooming is a breeze thanks to the double control lever, image stabilization works flawlessly, pictures are outstanding for a low budget camera. I always prefer the vivid mode for shooting because a well saturated image is more eye catching and usually it renders better on print. The LCD screen is amazing, sharp, fingerprint resistant. Honestly, for a camera of this price range is not possible to demand for something more. If you're a pro, go buying something else, but be prepared to spend much more.
I have the L110 and have been eying the L120 since its release. The 21x zoom lens and the side control lever are really making me want to upgrade. Thanks for the great review.
which one is better nikon coolpix L120 or olypmus SP-800UZ or fujifilm fine pix s3200?I just want to click some family pics at parties(Day/night,indoor/outdoor),picinics and special moments.Can any Master give a choice?
recently purchased this camera for $229.46 + tax at walmart, NJ.
I'm so confuse between the Nikon L120 or P500… So which one should i buy ????
I just purchased this Cam last friday and I'm loving it! No regrets!
I bought camera 15 days before. I am pretty much happy with the stuff so far. Recently I faced one problem , not sure if others do. I bought SDHC memory card and have taken around 200+ pics so far. But now camera gives error, can not read from Card. Or sometimes it asks to format the card. Does it happen for any card? Or we need to be specific to use card from Sandisk or Lexar?
I am using 4GB card and I think it is not branded one. Some cheapo stuff but it worked so far.
Any suggestions?
woah!!!...i ws lyk 85% sure abt dis camera 2 buy..bt aftr tkin a glanc on d review..m 100% sure nw..lolzz..thnks guyzz..m so xcitd 2 tk d snaps..i ws planin 4 sony(DSC-HX7V)..bt i ddnt lyk d out look at al..thnk u all agn. :)
@swapnil…. check the write protection switch. make sure it is unlocked. if the card demands, then format it.
@sambit ... I checked that when it was asking for format. Card is not locked. Switch was in ok position.
I just wanted to check if this happens frequently. Or is it just memory card that im using is problem?
dear swapnil, then u have to format the card. save the snaps in ur computer n format the card frm the cam. plz read the manual and restore factory setg. it may help
Do eneloop Ni-MH 2000 rechargeable batteries work in the L120?
A better question is why would Eneloops not work?
and sambit do everyone a favor and lose the Text Talk so people can actually read what you're saying.
Coolpix L120 manual states to only use EN-MH2 batteries & not EN-MH1 batteries. Are Eneloops equal to EN-MH2 Batteries? That is my question.
Thanks for the great review of Nikon L120
My confusion is cleared i Will be buying one rightaway.
I bought it last week, i ve already made some pictures and I should say that pictures are better than the samples pictures on this web site. It is a really good camera for that price, just amazing! The big zoom is just perfect, there is also some funny gadgets like smiling mode, make up mode… The design and material quality is excellent…
you can get it for more or less 210€ in Europe.
have look on Nikon website for seeing samples pictures… With right settings, there are pictures you can get ;)
Guillaume from france
Its really worth reading these comments and the review. I feel only problem with this camera is it use 4 AA batteries, it could be with Li-ion.
Here we go with the "AA"s again. If it used a propriety battery instead of "AA"s and you're some where away from your charger what are you going to do? You can buy a pack of "AA"s at virtually any store in the world. I don't even have this camera, I had the L100 not a good camera, it's good to see they made improvements with the L120, I have a Canon SX10 and it uses "AA" and I wouldn't have any other way unless there was no choice. Try some NiZn "AA"s like I use in my SX10.
totally confused b/w the L120 nd the S9100…. the bulk n the AA batterys of L120 stand in the way of my reasoning… gimme a clue to this, someone…. :(

The Great Family Event of Spring 2012
At the end of every Digital WAVE session, we celebrate the students' accomplishment with students, Museum staff, invited families and friends … and of course, chocolate cake! At our recent Family Event at the end of this year's spring session, students presented the virtual world projects they'd created, which were designed to illustrate water pathways and the impacts of climate change on south Florida. Throughout the program, students gathered information for their projects through all kinds of fun activities. They went on a field trip to Anne Kolb Nature Center, met in-person with University of Miami scientist Dr. Arthur Mariano, met Dr. Annmarie Eldering of NASA via virtual worlds, conducted their own research, and built model aquifers. They even met virtually with students from Maloka Interactive Science Center in Colombia, who were also working on water and climate related projects, through the Museum's SCEnaRioS project. The final result was truly impressive, because not only did each group create south Florida environments like the Everglades or downtown Miami, but all of the groups worked together to make these environments fit in one interactive map of south Florida. All of the students received well-deserved certificates of completion, not to mention some yummy cake.

For my 50th birthday, I got a tick bite, a bee sting, a case of poison ivy, and four sleepless nights in below-freezing weather with five other middle-aged women — and I paid handsomely for it. It was a gift to myself: an invitation-only Outward Bound canoe trip.
Once an eager backpacker and a fire-starting, rope-tying Girl Scout, I had let my career as a Philadelphia environmental lawyer and years of domesticity with a family of less-outdoorsy types lead me to make do with occasional nights of camping within sight of our car and afternoon kayak trips in the Jersey Pine Barrens. (The last family overnight at a crowded state park, camping next to a pack of Coors-drinking, Mets-listening twentysomethings, had proven less than satisfying.)

At the beach yesterday she played nicely for so long, but eventually just wanted to run off and away from me, so I told her she could play in the sand or she'd have to go in the mei tai. She climbed right onto my back [she chose the mei tai.]
It allowed me to be attentive to the boys and still know she was safe.
Just when I think our babywearing time is coming to an end, I am assured that for both of us, it's still hanging on tight... holding us close.

also got trinity blood rage against the moons volume 4: judgement day (light novel), and zombie powder 2-4 (ordering volume 1 through mail).
wat are they about
zombie powder is tite kubo's debut work and is an unfinished manga (only four volumes). haven't read them yet, but it has a western theme to it. i own the anime of trinity blood and liked so i saw the light novel, hope its good.
code geass has two manga anthologies queen (for boys) and knight (for girls) that basically have little connection to the plot of the main series, just for laughs. Rin-ne is Rumiko Takahashi's newest work about a 1/2 shinigami who exorcises souls and sends them to the wheel of reincarnation. it is pretty good.
well before i had to give some up i had about 150 manga! i love it and am willing to give anything a read! my all time favorite one is MARS! i just love the story and the art is just great!i also love fruits basket too! i have so many titles its hard to keep track of them all!

Good response
My thanks to Nancy McGinley, because no other offering would be as meaningful.
When as an adolescent you feel the white-hot hate of those charged with your personal safety, you become distrustful even of the well meaning. Now perhaps we can move forward together.
But at least half that apology should be directed at the others who suffered the wrongs directed at myself and others because they also were cheated by these very actions.
My union has a motto: "An injury to one is an injury to all." Appropriate in this instance.

Fix park
There are two Wraggborough parks. One is on the corner of John and Elizabeth streets. It has been beautifully restored with shrubbery and a fountain.
The other is in disrepair, without shrubbery or a fountain, on the corner of Meeting and Charlotte streets. On the opposite corner is the old Federal Building and on the opposite side of Meeting Street is the Old Citadel — now a plush hotel (adjacent to Marion Square).
Also adjacent is the Joseph Manigault House, a favorite tourist attraction; and to the west, the Second Presbyterian Church.
This second park is in poor shape, not at all attractive to visitors.
Just a block away to the north are the Visitor's Center and the Charleston Museum.
This park could be a welcome spot for tired tourists to stop, rest and take comfort under the shade of the oak trees.
I am only one of many who love Charleston and wish the mayor would give this improvement a high priority.

Turbine facility
Two recent letters to the editor by college employees take Gov. Mark Sanford to task for his opposition to the Clemson wind turbine facility.
One letter says the project would be built somewhere so here is better than somewhere else.
I, along with Mark and many others, believe this type of activity should and can be done with private capital.
The other letter refers to the wonderful inventions from Edison's facility at Menlo Park as justification for research, but it fails to mention that Edison's work was not done at taxpayers' expense. Private investment fueled entire industries and many millions of jobs over decades.
Only the free market will make efficient use of capital because it risks losing it. Government almost never makes efficient use of taxpayers' funds because it has no risk of loss.
The government investment boondoggles like Solyndra should be proof that only politicians and their cronies gain with government investment.
Gov. Mark Sanford is absolutely correct on this issue.

Gun control
Gun control is a very important issue for me and my family. We believe that there is no reason for anyone except a soldier in war to own an assault rifle.
It doesn't make sense.
The only people who would want these weapons are people who want to attack their own country. Also, every weapon in this country should be registered so that when a crime is committed, it is easier for law enforcement to find the culprit.
My family is not against owning weapons for hunting or personal protection; we are against the proliferation of violence and tragedy caused by an overabundance of guns in this country.

When Benjamin Harris Todd III and his attorney went to his ex-wife's Isle of Palms house on a Sunday night in 1994, it was the second time they set out in search of his daughter, Savanna.
Todd's former wife, Dorothy Lee Barnett, had visitation rights every other weekend, a result of their 13-day divorce trial earlier that year.
After the first time she didn't return the infant girl, Barnett was found in contempt of court and ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment for bipolar disorder, according to court papers.
The second time, Todd and his lawyer, Graham Sturgis of Charleston, showed up at Barnett's front door on Carolina Boulevard. No answer. Isle of Palms police officers helped them get inside.
But the house had been cleared of some personal belongings. A map remained. It showed Central America, where Barnett had often traveled but provided no exact clues about where she and Savanna might have gone.
Over the next two decades, Todd and Sturgis did find some clues. None panned out until recently, when information led authorities to Todd's ex-wife and daughter north of Australia's Brisbane.
"He never stopped looking," Sturgis said. "Now, this provides a long-awaited opportunity for him to develop a relationship between father and daughter that should have continued from the moment he became a father."
The attorney on Friday would not discuss Todd's whereabouts or say whether he had traveled to Queensland to reunite with his daughter. Savanna was known there as Samantha and her mother as Alexandria Geldenhuys.
To one woman who once considered Barnett a friend, the recent development didn't come as a total surprise.
Attorney Melinda Lucka had known Barnett for years before her disappearance. She knew of the dueling allegations of abuse between them, but Lucka said Todd should not have been denied a chance to know his daughter as she grew up.
Lucka was serving as the court- appointed supervisor of Barnett's visits with her daughter when the two went missing.
She figured that one day, someone somewhere would figure out that Barnett was in hiding.
"You can't do something like that and expect nothing to be done about it," she said. "This was bound to happen. It was always just a matter of when and where."
Todd still lives in the Johns Island home where Savanna once spent most of her days. But a neighbor said he was last seen there two weeks ago, when he mowed the lawn.
On Friday, an old Volkswagen Beetle and an aluminum travel trailer were parked outside, but no one was around. He keeps to himself there. A fence with a sign saying "private" blocks his long, dirt driveway.
Barnett remains jailed as she awaits an extradition hearing, which Sturgis said would likely come in February. Federal authorities announced Barnett's arrest Thursday, when the 2012 indictment against her was made public.
She faces up to 33 years in prison if convicted in the United States on charges of international parental kidnapping and falsifying two U.S. passport applications.
Sturgis said Friday that he and his client didn't want to belittle Barnett's contributions to raising Savanna Catherine Todd, now 20 years old and attending James Cook University.
He said Todd doesn't want to damage any relationship he might strike up with Savanna.
Loved ones of Todd's also declined to offer their reaction for that reason. John Todd of Spartanburg, his brother, said he wanted to wait for the saga to play out in the weeks and months to come.
Marriage ends
Todd, a stockbroker, and Barnett, a flight attendant, met in the 1980s when she sought financial advice from him.
Following a common Southern fashion, they each used their middle names as their first. He was Harris. She was Lee.
They got married in late 1991, a decision that Todd regretted soon after.
By the time Savanna was born in May 1993, they had already split apart. Barnett had filed for divorce earlier that spring.
Todd had a place on Johns Island's dirt-surfaced Exchange Landing Road, where his property had access to a tributary off the Wappoo River. Barnett lived in a home two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean in Isle of Palms.
Their divorce proceedings took place in February 1994 in Charleston County Family Court. Barnett alleged abandonment, and Todd said his wife had hit him and berated him.
During the two-week trial, Judge Robert Mallard considered who should have custody of Savanna and who would get visitation rights, according to court documents. That determination didn't come while Barnett was pregnant, as some news media, including The Post and Courier, had reported.
Ultimately, Todd's attorney said, the judge's decision hinged on which parent could provide the best life for Savanna and which parent would welcome the girl's connection with the one who didn't have full custody.
"(Todd) never tried to sever Savanna's relationship with her mother," Sturgis said. "(Barnett), on the other hand, was not supportive of her husband's relationship to her daughter."
Mallard issued an oral ruling Feb. 18, 1994, that awarded Todd full custody and allowed Barnett to visit Savanna every other weekend from 6 p.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Sunday. The written order wasn't filed until May 4.
After her first visit, Barnett refused to return the girl to Todd, the documents stated. That resulted in emergency contempt-of-court proceedings in which a judge ordered the mother to seek psychiatric evaluation and treatment at Medical University Hospital.
But she didn't lose her visitation rights.
Instead, the judge appointed Lucka to keep tabs on the sessions. Lucka, a private attorney who also serves as Charleston's city prosecutor, had met Barnett by chance a few years earlier as Barnett walked her two great Danes on the beach. Lucka thought she was funny and energetic, and they struck up a casual friendship.
Lucka supervised Barnett's weekend visits with Savanna through phone calls and random visits. A few of the sessions happened without incident.
But at some point during the weekend of Friday, April 22, 1994, through that Sunday, Barnett packed up and left with Savanna, the documents stated.
A car and a stroller were left in Barnett's driveway. But when Todd and his attorney looked inside, they found Barnett's house in disorder.
Lucka and the police also were there. She saw food on the kitchen counter, as if Barnett had quickly made sandwiches to pack.
"It was clear that she had taken that child," Sturgis said. "That began a massive effort, and over the years, we had some leads, but we never got close enough to find Savanna."
As a USAir flight attendant, Barnett was well-traveled. Her mother was too.
They had visited Africa together. They often flew to Belize, which some people thought was her first hiding spot.
"There was no telling what she would do because she was used to traveling," Lucka said. "We were always wondering what lengths she would go to not to be found."
Feeling robbed
The search drained Todd emotionally and financially.
The intensely private man appeared on Robert Stack's "Unsolved Mysteries" and on talk shows with Sally Jessy Raphael and Montel Williams.
He was profiled by GQ magazine and in a series of newspaper articles about missing children by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children paid particular attention to the disappearance on its website.
Then in 1999, Todd and Sturgis sued Barnett, her mother and Lucka. The lawsuit alleged that Barnett got financial help in skipping town from her mother and some of her friends. Lucka was later dropped from the suit.
Widespread reporting by newspapers, television stations and websites also implicated the Children of the Underground, a group that specialized in providing new identities for victims of abuse — whether actual or alleged.
But Sturgis said he doubted the accounts because he had warned group leader Faye Yager not to intervene if Barnett ever asked her for help.
"(Barnett) was determined," Sturgis said. "But there are reasons to believe that she got help from other people."
The lawsuit explained how Todd had "extreme heartbreak" and "constant agony" over his daughter's disappearance.
As a financial consultant with Merrill Lynch, it stated, Todd lost earnings during a stock market boom because of the time and money he spent in looking for her.
Todd felt deprived of a chance to love Savanna and an opportunity for her to love him. He felt robbed of the small moments of parenthood that make life "monumental."
"He has never attended her birthday party nor shared the wonder of Christmas morning with her," the suit stated. "He has not been able to rock her to sleep ... or pack her book bag and lunch for school.
"He survives on the hope that someday even if he cannot find Savanna ... perhaps she will find him."
Todd eventually won civil judgments totaling $50 million that he never saw because no one was around to pay it.
But money wasn't the point, Sturgis said. The objective was to ferret out Barnett's whereabouts through subpoenas and evidence discovery.
With the court action and his media appearances, Todd hoped to flush out Barnett, to catch the attention of someone who knew his daughter.
For a long time, it didn't work.
But earlier this month — 19 years, 6 months and 12 days after Savanna went missing — federal authorities finally got in touch with her.
"He was ecstatic," Sturgis said. "He was as excited as a father with a missing child could have been."
Though he wouldn't discuss specifics about how Barnett's life on the lam started to unravel, Sturgis said Todd's website had played a part. The Australian newspaper reported that someone who knew Barnett from her time in South Africa contacted Todd, who called the FBI.

But Todd's ecstasy over the prospect of seeing his grown daughter was soon tempered with apprehension. He feared what Barnett had or hadn't told Savanna about her biological father.
"It's going to take time for her to acclimate to the fact of having a father," Sturgis said. "But he is amazingly kind and gentle. ... He will be a daddy again."

4 Difficult Ways to Simplify Your Life (That Are Worth It)
#2. No One's Keeping Score
There's an important distinction I want to make right up front: Earlier this week, my co-worker David Wong explained how you might be accidentally making people hate you because they feel you owe them one. He's right. That sort of thing happens all the time. I'm not trying to contradict him, even though one person believing that another owes them might sound like a score is being kept. That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm saying that no one is keeping track of how many times in your life you were right.
"You were wrong: No Oompa Loompas died filming The Wizard of Oz. I'm afraid you're juuuust shy of the Paradise threshold."
I help make this show about people arguing over pop culture at a diner because, before I worked at Cracked, I used to argue over pop culture at a diner with friends of mine. Usually we just traded jokes while breaking down our favorite movies and shows, and every once in a while we'd get into an argument over a pointless bit of movie trivia. I'd claim that Bill Paxton was the one in Twister, my buddy would swear it was Bill Pullman, and another friend entirely would be convinced that it was actually the pig from Babe: Pig in the City (which I maintained was the same pig as in the first Babe movie, which started an entirely new fight).
The '90s were a confusing time.
This was before smartphones, so we usually just let the argument die. Or, rather, everyone else let the argument die. I went home and watched Twister and confirmed my rightness. Then I'd wait until the next time I saw my friends, and I'd say, "Oh, hey, just so you guys know, it was Paxton. In Twister. So ..." I didn't do it to be smug, although, yes, I was insufferable. I genuinely thought "Everyone probably wants to know the truth, because we argued about this, which means it must be important. They'll all be so happy when I share with them this truth!"
Totally insufferable. And totally pointless. I have an easy time writing for After Hours because I remember every single time I was right and wrong in my entire life. It's a tally that occupies space in my brain, space that is supposed to be dedicated to remembering birthdays and my pin number, both of which I've since had to tattoo on my chest.
The bottom line? No one else is keeping score, and you're not doing them a favor by correcting them or keeping score for them. You'll never accumulate enough check marks in your "right" column to be deemed infallible by your friends, and you won't get points for pointing out someone else's mistakes because you don't get points for anything, because there are no points.
Above: The Universe.
#1. The Important Stuff Won't Happen
The question that I get asked on Tumblr most often is "When did you know you were going to be a writer?" "What made you decide??" "What was the moment where you learned 'Yes, it is decided: I AM WRITING!'"
"I've found a quill, THIS IS IT!"
Kids will write to me, usually right before or after they start college for the first time, saying that they might want to maybe someday consider writing, but they also have a lot of other interests, and they're wondering where they need to go and what they need to do to get hit by the Big Decision Bus that tells them, unequivocally, what they want to/should do with their lives. And they assume, because I'm a working professionalish type person, that this bus clearly must have hit me at some point.
I guess the moment I knew -- really knew -- that I was supposed to be a writer was when a very nice company paid me enough money to do it instead of doing my old job, which was bartending.
Aka writing with liquor.
That's all. I mean, I wrote and I studied English in college, but I also studied a ton of other stuff, and I would have pursued something else or continued my education, but I got offered a job doing a thing I liked that happened to have "writer" on the business card, so I took it. I know that a lot of extremely creative and interesting artists talk about their decision to write or act or perform music like it was preceded by some cosmic, life-changing event, and that my answer sounds very dry and heartless by comparison, but it's true. No light went off. No switch was flipped. A famous writer didn't collapse at my doorstep, hand me a pen, and croak out "This burden is yours now" before dropping dead.
I've always been nervous about answering with rules, because if you tell someone there's a "right" way, they'll immediately freak out if they're thinking they're doing things the wrong way. Like "When I was a sophomore in college, there was a MOMENT -- one of those profound moments that all real writers have -- and then I knew, from that day forward, ME: WRITER." I don't want anyone's takeaway to be "But I'm already a senior and I still don't know and OH MY GOD I'VE DONE EVERYTHING WRONG!" And I don't want the takeaway to be "Got it: Sophomore year. Sophomore year of college is when I'll know what I'm supposed to do. Phew!" No. Not phew. There's no moment, no one ever knows. I still don't know. I'm writing today, but that's right now, not my whole life.

The future is a big place.
If you're anticipating some grand moment, then you're wasting all of your time waiting for the universe to tell you what to do when, really, the universe doesn't know, doesn't care, and doesn't have time to tell you to study dance magic, because the universe is too busy coming up with ways to wipe humanity off the face of the Earth.
Don't wait for the universe or anything else to give you a sign to tell you what to do with your life. That's crippling. Just do things.

In a recent edition of The Post and Courier about the start of the college football season, it was described as a "religion" in the South.
Well, isn't that the truth.
Heading into the start of the 2013 season, which begins today, there are five SEC teams that are ranked in the Top 10 of the AP poll.
This week's Head2Head trivia is about, you guessed it, SEC football.
Olivia Davis, who's studying for her nursing exam, is our current champ and a University of Georgia fan, while her opponent is Erica McCall, who is new to the area and a Louisiana State University fan.
1. Which university has won the most SEC championships?
2. In 1991, the conference went from 10 to 12 teams by adding which two teams?
3. Which of these teams — Georgia Tech, Clemson University, Tulane University, Auburn University — was not an original member of the SEC?
4. When Peyton Manning's University of Tennessee Volunteers won the conference championship in 1997, what team did they beat?
5. Which university won three SEC championships in a row between 1980-1982?
6. What is Vanderbilt's mascot?
7. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is commonly called what?
8. What conference did South Carolina belong to before joining the SEC?
9. The winner of the annual LSU-Arkansas football rivalry game wins what trophy?
10. Ole Miss replaced its mascot in 2010. What is the new one?
1. I'd have to say Alabama.
2. Let's say Ole Miss and LSU.
3. Clemson?
4. I'm leaning towards Carolina.
5. I know Georgia had a string of championships at some point.
6. A Commodore.
7. I can't believe I'm drawing a blank here. I don't know it.
9. I don't know, a silver helmet.
10. Isn't it called a Rebel Bear or something?
1. I mean, obviously, Alabama.
2. Um, Vanderbilt and USC?
3. Tulane?
4. I truly have no idea, but I'll throw one out there: Auburn.
5. This is so obviously a guess, but is it Florida?
6. The Commodores.
7. Otherwise known as The Swamp.
8. Um, ACC?
9. Ha! The Golden Boot.
10. It's a bear, right?
Erica becomes our latest Head2Head Trivia champ, and she'll be back next week to take on a new challenger.
1. University of Alabama
2. University of Arkansas and University of South Carolina
3. Clemson University
4. Auburn University
5. University of Georgia
6. Commodore
7. The Swamp
8. Atlantic Coast Conference
9. The Golden Boot
10. Rebel Black Bear

After wanting this pen to carry with my leather circa notebook, for a very long time, I treated myself and I am so sorry that I did. It is an average pen - not as hefty or solid as some of the really nice promotional pens I've been given - and the engraving looks very cheap and hard to read. It has a lightweight feel that makes me think it won't last long.It does not fit into the pen loop on my Levenger Circa leather notebook - I can't slide it all the way into the loop as the bezel at the pen midpoint is too large, so it will likely slide out and be lost soon anyway.Too bad. I hate wasting money.

I'm addicted!
By Climber6

I purchased this pen because I wanted a nice ball point for my Circa products. It's so attractive and comfortable to write with, and, fortunately, not too large for me. This is my third pen from Levenger, and I will buy more! Love coordinating Circa products with my pens. Working with them is a TREAT.

The Calico Cat of Pens
By SouthernGirl

After purchasing the Purple True Writer, I decided to purchase this little gem and I'm glad I did. The color scheme reminds of a calico cat. Beautiful and eyecatching color patterns that give you some umph to your professional look. Writes smoothly and no skips in the ink flow. Definitely a jewel addition and companion to my purple true writer.

I purchased this for a special friend who loves pens, and this didn't disappoint. Beautiful styling, smooth writing, good weight in the hand. A reason to keep writing versus using technology for writing notes!
By smallgoodthing

I bought this Kyoto ballpoint as a more practical carrying-around pen than the matching fountain pen I bought years ago. It feels a bit top-heavy in the hand, but it writes smoothly, is a great value, and looks beautiful.
Love this pen!
By papercrazy
from Undisclosed
I was a little worried about price and if it would look the same as it did on website. I am extraordinarily pleased with the quality of the pen. It writes smoothly, I am left handed and so my big worry is ink stains on my hand and it is no problem. As a left hander many ballpoints don't last because of the way I write, but this one is terrific! I am looking at purchasing several others, just am so pleased!

Being slightly older than my co-workers at Applebee's, I am used to being the 'dinosaur' as far as the gadgets I use to do my job as manager. This pen makes me feel like a more efficient manager just by holding it. Being surrounded by servers, who are notorious pen thieves, I am most careful not to leave it where it can be (shall we say) removed from my possession. I love this pen, and after opening the box, I immediately ordered another pen from your site. Anyone who has used a 39-cent Bic will sing a love song about the True Writer. Sometimes the old ways are just plain better.

Johnny Depp, 50, had lip locking on his agenda Monday night, but his kissing companion wasn't who you'd expect.
Leaving apparent gal pal Heard behind, The Lone Ranger star – who announced his split from longtime partner, Vanessa Paradis a year ago – went in for a kiss on Jimmy Kimmel Live with the late-night talk-show host, 45, after Kimmel said, "You have this very handsome, this – Let's just be honest and say beautiful face."
Depp put his head down and nodded horizontally before going in for a kiss on Kimmel's cheek. He then sat down for a moment, got back up and went in for a peck on the lips as Kimmel waved his hand in front of his face and uttered a "wow!"
After Depp said, "I'm done, I'm done," a still-in-shock Kimmel said, "I've lost my train of thought."
But Depp apparently wasn't done, as he went in for one more tiny smooch.
"That's more kissing than I did in all of high school," Kimmel said with a laugh.
Added the actor: "Me, too."
A surprised Kimmel then said, "I don't believe that. Is that true? … You were not popular in high school with the girls? Or talk-show hosts?"
Depp then admitted with a chuckle, "I do have a thing for talk-show hosts, obviously. But, no, no, in high school I was not – no, I was kind of a long-haired –"
Kimmel, who suggested classmates were possibly "intimidated" by Depp, went on to say kiddingly, "You were a scumbag or a loser or something like that?"

Student-Led Discussions
In this 10-lesson course, Better Homes and Gardens Editor Katie Ketelsen shows you how to build a water garden in less than 30 minutes, grow the freshest herbs right on your tabletop and create perfect plant combinations for season-long color. Discover unexpected containers and update your old standbys — from moss-lined baskets to galvanized metal tubs — with sophisticated new designs. Your entryway will dazzle after you learn the pro's "secret 3 things" every container must have. Katie introduces you to new plants and improved varieties of your old favorites and mixes in some surprising plants you didn't expect to use! *NOTE: This class contains archived instructor responses but no active instructor participation. It features student-led (rather than instructor-led) discussion only. If you have questions, one of the many experienced gardeners in your class surely will have the answer!
Meet instructor Katie Ketelsen as she shows you how to find interesting and unusual containers, fill them with the right plants for your growing conditions and care for them so they look wonderful without a lot of effort.
Professionals use the "thriller, filler, spiller" rule to create elegant and enduring plantings. In this lesson, you'll learn this technique and apply it to both exciting new plants like the spiraling rex begonia "Escargot," and dynamic color combinations from hot red coleus to shimmering white caladium.
Ready to move beyond pink petunias? Let Katie guide you to a greenhouse full of new varieties, surprising textures and unique color combinations.
Surprising plant selections let you create unique new looks in your containers. Combine tropical foliage with silvery eucalyptus and bright blossoms, or the color-changing Endless Summer hydrangea with Japanese forest grass.
Homegrown tomatoes on a city balcony? Salad greens on your kitchen table? Absolutely! Grow fresh herbs, vegetables and fruit in the smallest living spaces by creating herb containers, a living salad bowl and a washtub salsa garden.
Smart plant selection lets you transform one planter into many dramatic looks, from spring's first blossoms to a beautiful holiday display.
Strawberry jars aren't just for berries! Turn them into floral displays and herb gardens. This lesson also includes fresh concepts for window boxes and hanging baskets.
Succulents are the secret to beautiful, water-wise container plantings that work in all zones. Discover their range of color, shapes and textures, and learn how these drought-tolerant selections enhance a sleek tabletop bowl, a cottage-style hanging basket and a vintage chicken feeder.
Katie shows you how to create a beautiful, easy-care water garden in less than an hour. Plants that love wet feet, floating flowers and even fish turn an ordinary container into a lush oasis for your patio or balcony.
Using innovative new garden products, Katie shows you how to create living art to decorate spaces inside and outside your home. Produce dramatic results with flowering annuals, green perennials, herbs and succulents.
I have no experience in gardening and always admire the hanging containers for summer at your local garden store, but the price is usually high. The "thriller, filler and spiller" is a catchy way to remember how to plant and have your container look awesome. I used this method in a container for inside the house and it has worked beautifully.

The fiscal cliff is another trick of privatization being played upon the people of the United States in favor of the corporate handlers who hold sway over an increasingly oligarchic Congress.
No deal at all would be better than an agreement that cuts entitlements.
The fiscal cliff that Congress has created is dangerous, but not as bad as the so-called bargain that they say must be made.
In January, Congress could easily revive the lower tax rates for all but the top 2 percent.
The so-called automatic spending cuts would not start immediately, giving a Congress that truly cared time to deal with this problem in a way that favored a majority of Americans instead of the elite few. The new Congress could also reverse the planned cuts to domestic and militarily spending.
Our fragile economic recovery would surely be weakened by those cuts, threatening the loss of more jobs and frightening Wall Street.
Instead of rushing us madly toward austerity and the privatization of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security for the profit of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries Congress should be placing attention on job growth. Selling out social programs to the highest bidder is the real goal of the Republicans in the House of Representatives and some members of the Senate.
It won't help us, but it will make their friends a lot of money.
The progressive members of both Houses, the President, and we as the people supposedly being represented will need to stand up and have or voices heard or we will have to take the crumbs that the Plutocrats leave for us.

Commissioner: JCESA may be eliminated
May 9, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — With the potential of an emergency services fee being implemented, Jefferson County Commissioner Patsy Noland recently said she has recognized the need for more funding going toward......
It's soooooooo simple. Put common sense back into everything, including government and all will be well. Common sense, common sense, common sense. What will it take.

Noland is not a very smart woman and that is my attempt at being nice. Who ever she is getting her info is as dumb as she is. Talk about going back into the stone age. ESA has 2 directors, 1 secretary and 1 financial officer. BCEAA has admin, Collis and 4 ladies in the office plus their field supervisors. not sure where you are getting ESA directors are 6 figures? ShetownFFEMT, not sure where you got your math from. In any business like this or others, you need someone in charge, someone to oversee and deal with all the financial and bureaucratic stuff. Forget the fire until a reasonable solution comes up. some of the fire companies don't want it anyhow. or they don't like not being in charge of them.

Here is something to think about the Sheriff's base pay is less than 50,000 with a cap on amount he gets for collecting back taxes and he supervises 50 couple employees. So if that person does not make 100,000.00 or more why should any other administrator of a Jefferson County Department make that much. The position should be an elected position as well not the buddy system they use now. But the big picture is if Noland and other CC didn't support a corrupt sheriff the county would not be 1.6 million short on money right now!!!!

I just have one question. Are any of you people posting JCESA menions? I agree with the commissioners reasoning but not what she wants to do. There needs to be 24 hour staffing everyday. There needs to be 4 people in every station. Take the admin salaries, divide by 6. Put 4 more responder on the street and make 2 supervisors. Pay them descent money, not six figures. They will be in charge of their shift. They won't run calls. They will respond if necessary. They will be in charge of scheduling and admin stuff.
As far as the first guy crying about fees! Seriously? You pay 100 bucks a month for fire and EMS service. Also, if your not satisfied with your EMS service you got, you need to complain to the fire chief of your local department.
I think that the JCeSA needs to be in place 24 hours. You people that are ******** about the fee will be ******** when your loved one is laying on the floor not breathing and you wanna know where the ambulance is.
Just my two sense!

We are to feel SO MUCH BETTER in our lives with FEES aren't we.
When I built here a few years ago, I was introduced to the Impact Fee. Asked why I had to pay it, and was told that I IMPACT the school system!!! HOW? I'm retired and have no kids in school, but the Sieg Heil mein Fuhrer person at the Impact Fee office, said, "that's the way it is." <I was to be happy with answer, right>
Now an EMS fee! If I have to use an ambulance again for my wife, does this mean I won't get billed again for $976 as I was before. Two young ladies arrived and neither knew what to do [one said she was "only a driver"], nor could they carry my wife on the gurney.
So, when is the commish going to jump on the law enforcement fee? Tell ya what, in the 6 years I've been here, I've counted that many times I've seen a cop drive on my remote county road. Don't bother, I know and am capable of protecting myself, and will handle my own medical emergencies in the future.

You know what, we need down to earth people sitting in positions as on the Commission. I get so tired of seeing people in those positions that have moved from another position within the county...And dopey voters keep putting them back.
Years ago, and as I grew with volunteer fired depts., they survived, they did what they could within their means. Now, we have people "scaring" a certain segment of society into thinking about heart attacks and response time.
With the ideology of this county commission keeping viable industry out of the county, who else but beleaguered home owners are going to pay for all this crap.
One fee after another. Eliminate all agencies and FEES [aka: taxes].

So the commission is worried about overhead cost of the ESA... Have they looked around the room and realized that two people sitting in there are not needed on the commission! They make $40,000 a year to work 2 days a month! And to my understanding the agency employee's 4 administrative positions to include the two Directors. Compared to BCEAA admin staff= Collis, 2 office ladies, a field Chief, deputy chief, 2 captains, 2 Lts, and 2 training officers= 11 admins, of which 3 have company vehicles to take home and 1 chase buggy ... And the ESA is admin heavy???

Each agency has a 5 minute scratch time. If you have a heart attack at 8:30 at night, and fire company x only has a driver available, now you are waiting for another company to be dispatched, any available personnel to respond the the station, then respond on the call. You are looking at 20-30 min maybe more before emergency personnel to get there. With jcesa you have personnel responding immediately to your emergency. With patsy Noland's idea you would be paying a fee with only part time help. Seems legit

All employees will be made part time, to save on payroll. She is wanting the county to go back in time 15 years and start over. Jefferson county is only growing. How can you put a price on someone's life? It costs money to save lives. It will only cost more.

So, after reviewing the proposal by commissioner Noland, and watching the video feed, the proposal looks like it was drafted by a middle school student taking an accounting class. She is stuck on needing daytime fire staffing. Yes it is needed, but EMS is needed 24/7. Her proposal is to eliminated EMS staffing from 6p-6am. And no weekends. Is your life not worth saving 1.6 mil? Ms. Noland doesn't think it is. Remember her when it comes time to vote.
