Lightning Review: The Wicked Lasers Torch is the World’s Most Powerful Flashlight [Review]

The Gadget: The Torch flashlight from Wicked Lasers is currently being reviewed by Guinness as the world’s most powerful flashlight. At 4100 lumens, the Torch can easily start fires and even fry eggs.

Nyc restaurants

The Price: $300

The Verdict: Simply put, the Torch flashlight is like carrying around a floodlight in your hand. It is easily the most powerful and semi-frightening flashlight I have ever seen. However, let’s not kid ourselves into thinking that this a practical device. The only reason anyone should ever buy the Torch is to impress other nerds.

Last month I reviewed the 160 lumens Duracell Daylite and found it to be a good choice for anyone looking for a powerful, practical flashlight. It’s not a fair comparison by any means, but analyzing the results from that test against the Torch gives you a good idea of how bright this thing really is.

in order to illustrate its power, wicked lasers has released several videos showing the torch raging paper, lighting matches and frying eggs. these claims are true—as you can see from my own test illustrated in the video above. but the ardour this thing gives off is not all fun and games for pyromaniacs. it also strictly limits the usability of the flashlight. after a few minutes of use, the torch becomes too hot to hold in your hand. according to the user’s manual, it should only be used in 3 minute intervals with at least 2 minutes of “rest” in-between.

As you might have guessed, the battery life for the Torch is almost nil. I’m not sure what the exact figures are, but I doubt that you could get more than 10 minutes of continuous use out of a full-power 30 minute charge. And, to be quite honest, the scary charging unit above is fairly unreliable. I found myself frequently resetting the magnets because it registered a full-charge prematurely.

10^100 definition of 10^100 in the Free Online Encyclopedia.
An extremely large number. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, a young nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner (1878-1955), who said a googol was 1 followed by 100 zeros …

RCW 26.10.100: Determination of custody — Child’s best interests.
The court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interests of the child. [1987 c 460 § 38.]

RCW 46.10.100: Crossing public roadways and highways lawful, when.
It shall be lawful to drive or operate a snowmobile across public roadways and highways other than limited access highways when:      The crossing is made at an angle of …


Obviously, I can’t recommend something this expensive, impractical and, quite frankly, dangerous—but if you are willing to drop $300 on a gadget that will impress your friends for a minute or two, the Torch will definitely get the job done. [Wicked Lasers]

Mary Walker: Life in Nairobi is indescribable

I am spending a week in Nairobi before heading home. Life here is indescribably different than in Narok, with the girls, and at the rescue center. Nairobi is a very cosmopolitan city and a hub for East African politics, commerce and tourism. There are something like 64 different ethnic groups represented within the city ? black Africans, of course, Indians, Europeans, with “mzungus” (white people, in Swahili) making up a marked minority. Nairobi is one of several international cities that has banned the use of plastic, unrecyclable bags. Everyone that I have met in Kenya knows of Barack Obama. His grandmother lives outside of Kisumu. If he is elected president, I think there will be a national day of celebration here.

Brown ready to face Labour members

Prime Minister Gordon Brown faces a critical five days as the Labour Party conference starts in Manchester.

Mr Brown is due to address party members for the first time since a group of MPs made calls for him to face a leadership contest.

He will join senior cabinet colleagues to take questions about the financial crisis and economic downturn.

On Friday he said the rebels would not force him out, saying leaders had to take “the rough with the smooth”.

United front

The Communities Secretary Hazel Blears says the conference must show a united Labour front.

She told BBC News: “I think this week is about teamwork, it’s about every single member of the government, MPs, councillors, party activists getting on with the job.”

Ms Blears said it was essential the conference focused on the bread-and-butter issues, such as household finances, education and employment.

She said: “That for me has always been my politics - rooted and grounded in everyday life and that’s where I mean to carry on.”

What Was With McCain’s Surprise Appearance On Mike & Mike This Morning?

okay, this politics emotional attachment with espn has gotten just a little too weird at this point. in august, barack obama sat down for an interview and the network’s pr department stated that it was trying to grow older a hold of john mccain on a sit down of his own. they followed that up with an interview at the beginning of this week with the republican candidate and the whole shooting match seemed to be all through and done with in regards to politics and the “leader”.well yesterday, mds at fanhouse put up an interesting transmit in regards to a developing espn “pro-obama” stance and how multiple employees have made contributions to the democratic nominee….a database search of donations to the campaigns of obama and john mccain reveals that at least six espn editorial employees — desmond howard, scoop jackson, kelly naqi, john saunders, bill walton and stephen a. smith — have dedicated to obama’s campaign. no espn editorial employees are listed as donors to mccain’s campaign in the records at opensecrets.org.i asked espn spokesman josh krulewitz what espn’s policy is on civil donations, and he told me:”for espn in general, decisions on political donations are made by employees entirely on their own. as a service to specifically folks with editorial roles, we discourage public participation in matters of administrative advocacy or confrontation.”while the post was an interesting thought, i uncommonly don’t reflect on that someone exercising their constitutional right to support and vote for whomever they elect is an issue. i cogitate on that point was made in the quote from josh krulewitz, but an interesting thing happened today potentially in retort to the picture above .without any press releases on the matter, and without warning, john mccain showed up via give someone a tinkle object of an interview on mike and mike in the morning. with the way that espn promoted both sports center interview this was a very odd, but it got precise weirder as greenberg and golic were hyping the senator’s appearance before he came on. every yet they brought up mccain they made a spelled out point of saying that they were not being biased and greenberg even said, “and yes democrats, we are working to bring barack obama on the show expectedly as soon as next week,” at one point. that’s an spare choice of words if you ask me and the retreat greenie it put it made it seem little short of defensive in nature.you can hear that and see the interview in the video below, but this entire contradiction, skepticism and unpremeditated appearances are the reason they should contain not gone done this direction in the first place. whether they were trying for an angle or not, alliances and plot theories are without exception going to drop into frisk when politics are mixed up with. i improvise the lesson learned is to just restrain sports and the white house separate from here on out….update: according to espn it was an item in a mid week update that espn emails out each wednesday. not perfectly the same as the first go around but and it was a bit buried in that release, after a bunch of nfl items.does espn have a pro-obama sway?

Security Council May Defer Bashir Prosecution (And It’s a Good Thing, Too)

two months ago, i predicted that the custodianship caucus would not have the votes necessary to defer the icc’s prosecution of bashir. nostradamus i’m not: in a last-ditch attempt to curb icc judges from issuing an arrest underwrite for bashir in the next few weeks, bashir’s supporters - the arab fraternity, the african union, china and russia - will use the un extensive assembly, dawning on 23 september, to provoke b request the un security council to block the prosecution. they are supported by two countries which were instrumental in instigating the icc investigation - permanent security council members britain and france. britain and france say privately that the lines of communication with khartoum are nearing total breakdown. the sudanese authorities are blocking the work of the 11,000-strong unamid peacekeeping force and have not handed over two other icc suspects - oversight minister ahmad harun and militia chief ali kushayb - seeking whom stop warrants were issued last year. foreign office minister for africa mark malloch brown and his french counterpart, bruno joubert, are conceded to have both travelled to khartoum recently to suggest a deal included which bashir could be let off the hook. it would require khartoum handing over harun and kushayb, committing to the peace handle in darfur and southern sudan, and allowing unamid to fully deploy. icc supporters are predictably outraged…

A Few More Tips on Not Answering the Salary Question

Building upon our discussions of How to Ask for a Raise, Evading Salary Questions and The Best Way to Get a Raise, a Wall Street Journal reader asks “How can I be honest about my current salary but also command the salary I deserve at a new company?” The Journal responds:

To get what you think you deserve, you’ll definitely want to know why you have been underpaid. Once you get a handle on why you’ve be underpaid, you’ll be better able to explain it honestly in an interview.

Recruiters and human resources personnel ask this question because they want to know where you fit into their compensation structurenot necessarily to figure out how little they can pay you. But, there are ways to get around giving a specific number at the beginning of the interview or even shifting the focus of the question when asked about your current salary. The first thing to keep in mind is that companies are most interested in your experience. They want to know that the person they’re offering a position to can handle the everyday challenges on the job. “Be very clear about how your experience and talent fits directly with the new position,” says Andrea Eisenberg, a senior human resources consultant in New York.


Then, when the conversation gets around to a hiring manager’s question about what you’re making, Paul Gavejin, managing director of Total Compensation Solutions, a compensation consulting firm in Armonk, N.Y. suggests asking a few questions in return. You might say: “I’d be happy to tell you, but first, I’d really like to know what you think this job is worth?” or “What is the salary range for this job?” You could also reply with by shifting the subject and saying, “I’m looking at jobs in this salary range.” It might also help to adjust your thinking when you respond. Think in terms of total compensation, and not just salary alone. To that end, you might respond, “My salary is X, my annual bonus is Y and the employer contribution to my 401(k) is Z. All totaled, my current compensation package is worth $(X+Y+Z).”

Joe eszterhas

The piece gives a few other ways to dodge the question, but it also says that eventually you’ll annoy the interviewer if you keep side-stepping the question. Exactly. That’s what I’ve been saying all along. So, what do I suggest instead? Briefly, here are my few steps:

A couple side notes:

What is Namnesia Antidote?

what is namnesia antitoxin?when a fellow placard, anniefey, made a notify at the tv tidings lies board about these two syndromes i was struck by the pervasiveness of this type of thinking when it comes to the occupation of iraq. the warmongers in the administration and congress not only suffer from namnesia but possess gone out of their way to spread the infection. when george “war criminal” bush talks about not repeating the mistakes of vietnam, he is stating our error was withdrawing prematurely and leaving only 58,168 known dead americans. he is single-minded to “stay the course” indefinitely in iraq, no be of consequence the cost in human lives and resources. when anniefey made her post it was with two unhappy coincidences; the five-year anniversary of the iraq invasion and the occasion of the 4,000th american causality. we had once again failed to learn from history and were doomed to repeating the nevertheless errors.posts on this blog begin on march 23rd. in 2008, this was both easter and the outmoded of the aforementioned 4,000th causality. the names posted on this blog are from the vietnam war memorial wall as extracted from the no quarter organization website. any errors in the breed are up and i apologize in advance for them. while a creditable aim would be to have a posting throughout everybody whose big name appears on the wall, it is fair-minded not practicable respecting a complete-man operation. what i thinks fitting attempt here is to have posted in regard to each light of day of the year two lists of these names; the first commemorating the date of death and the number two celebrating the lineage of those who gave their lives. i encourage anyone to record comments on these individuals, when such a comment is posted, i will try on to create an individual post with more detailed information for that person. this will give family, friends and supporters the chance to collectively honor and recollect these fallen use men. i will despatch these individual posts by birthdates.the information on this blog will also appear in my this day in relation blog daily posts. i hankering this double posting resolution give some additional exposure to these men and women while aiding in combating namnesia.http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
