Adult Faith Formation
"Adult faith formation, by which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study, must be "the central task in the catechetical enterprise," becoming "the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age."
Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, #5
Our Mission:
To assist parishes as they facilitate the process of creating a culture of mature adult discipleship that is a living, fruitful and explicit profession of faith. Through training and resources the diversity of adult life tasks in relationship to faith are served. This effort finds its inspiration amid the fullness of Christian life and the vision put forth in the following documents:
- The General Directory for Catechesis
- The National Directory for Catechesis
- Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States

Ghosts are a tried and true horror staple. They've been around since the dawn of man. Roman military logs speak very matter-of-factly about spirits of dead soldiers leading their men to victory. In their warm n' fuzzy incarnation, ghosts give us an opportunity to mend an incomplete relationship, or find true love in a world gone mad. In their more horrific applications, ghosts are angry at the living, and want them to suffer before joining the ranks of the dead.
The sub-text to the ghost story is usually guilt. There's a horrible act in someone's past, or in society's past. The main characters are forced to confront it and resolve it. Maybe they were directly responsible, maybe only peripherally. Sometimes, they have to pay the ultimate price.
Ghosts stories used to be relatively tame. First off, they couldn't touch you. The best they could do is fly through you. Occasionally, they'd knock a picture down or howl. Things have changed (thank you, Japan!) Now, ghosts are able to impact our reality in a stunning variety of ways, including but not limited to casting reflections, altering your body, possessing you and making steak crawl.
The current ghost movies are so open-ended in terms of the spirit's capacity to act, that they function more as dementia movies. The main character's experience with meeting a ghost is usually the same as losing his/her mind.
Personally, I prefer a movie where the ghosts have a motivation for behaving the way they do. The main characters at least have an out, a possibility of redemption. But when the ghosts are just pissed off, and everyone dies—seems a little nihilistic to me. What happens next? Do the ghosts of the movie's victims haunt the ghosts that killed them? And on through eternity?
But as our nation's guilt continues to grow, expect more ghost stories, depicting a superior past and an intense anxiety over the justifiable guilt we feel.
Examples of Ghost stories include Ghost, Jacob's Ladder, The Grudge, Sleepy Hollow, Friday the 13th (sort of), Nightmare on Elm Street, Poltergeist and Beetlejuice, to name a few. Any others you can think of, chime in. In the meantime, keep screamin'!

Volunteer basketball coach from Glen Ellen helps his team members learn, grow and have fun
Published: Sunday, December 30, 2012 at 4:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 30, 2012 at 1:04 p.m.
Glen Ellen firefighter Dan Pierce for the past six years has coached boys' basketball for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley.
It is a program that emphasizes learning and growing, and a philosophy that de-emphasizes competition, although being competitive is somewhat unavoidable, said Pierce, 53, a Sonoma resident.
"We try to emphasize that we don't care about the score, we want to see improvement, and the score is reflexive of that," Pierce said. "But the kids are aware of the score, they want to win. Anyone who has played athletics, it gets instilled.
"But I try to keep that out, there will be enough of that as time goes on. My words to them are we want to have fun and we want to teach you some skills," Pierce said.
For his work, Pierce was awarded the Boys and Girls Clubs Star Award at the recent Sonoma Valley Fund's ceremony honoring volunteers.
"He has a caring approach with the kids and an ability to help them have a great experience and enjoy athletic participation," said Dave Pier, chief executive officer for the Boys and Girls Clubs.
"It is how he has done it and how he has approached it. It mirrors the club's core values and what we are trying to accomplish, words like integrity, excellence, respect and accountability."
The Sonoma Valley club serves 2,200 children a year, of which 550 will attend on any given day at five club sites, and sports is an integral part.
"Our program is intramural, the idea is kids acquire some skills and play some competitive games, but it is about sportsmanship and being on a team," Pier said.
Pierce, who coaches a team of third-, fourth- and fifth-grade boys, started six years ago when his oldest son, Mason, wanted to play basketball.
After three years coaching Mason, Pierce continued coaching his twin sons, Jamie and Dusty, in the program.
Pierce said it has been a gratifying experience.
"You see these kids develop and grow, you go out there and teach them a few things, develop some life skills in the process," Pierce said. "They are learning not just basketball — I doubt any will go to the NBA — but ... something that will help them down the road."
Pierce said he loves the kids and usually ends up as sweaty as they are after practice.
"They keep you young," Pierce said. "I can go out there and become a third-through-fifth-grader really quickly. I am not a good stand-there coach, I am usually running around with them."
Pierce said he is now facing a choice, whether to volunteer to coach at Sonoma Valley High School, where Mason is going to school, or remain
at the Boys and Girls Clubs as his twin sons move into the higher league.
"I can't imagine not coaching. I don't know exactly where, probably at the Boys and Girls Club, but I will coach somewhere next year, if they will have me," Pierce said.

I've spent the morning reading various endorsements of Mitt Romney for president, and they all say the same thing: Mitch McConnell and John Boehner's strategy worked.Ezra Klein • In a new post on WonkBlog, commenting on a number of Romney endorsements that surprised him — most notably the Des Moines Register's decision to endorse Mitt Romney, after endorsing the Democratic candidate in the previous five races. In his piece, Klein challenges the paper's suggestion that President Obama was ineffective when dealing with Congress. He stops short of giving President Obama an endorsement, and recognizes the leadership abilities of Romney, but Klein is not unclear about his feelings on this particular line of logic. "There are good reasons to endorse Mitt Romney for president," said Klein, adding, "But if you want the political system to work more smoothly, endorsing McConnell and Boehner's strategy over the last four years is folly."
Contrary to what many believe, the central effect of such negative advertising isn't to move voters from supporting another candidate to backing yours, as Mitt Romney and his allies have discovered during this primary season. The main effect is not even to move undecided voters into your column. No, the real effect of negative advertising is to energize and solidify support among your ideological base while turning everyone else off to the other candidate, the campaign and the entire electoral process. Negative advertising isn't about changing minds; it's about altering the composition of the voter pool on Election Day by turning moderate voters into non-voters.The Washington Post's Stephen Pearlstein • Offering a counterpoint to Ezra Klein's point from the other night; Pearlstein suggests politicians want people to turn off from the political process, because it helps them stabilize the electoral pool come election time. Which is how we get stuff like Obama eating dog food on an Etch A Sketch with Mitt Romney's face drawn on it, or something like that.
I think most people in Washington believe voters would make better decisions if they spent more time following politics. But I spend a lot of time following politics, and quite often, I couldn't be happier that voters are tuning out the inanities that obsess this town. Better that they worry about real mountains rather than hyped-up molehills.
The Washington Post columnist has it right. Sure, these stories are fun, but they're distractions that conveniently fill air during dead periods of the news cycle.
Can I ask a dumb Tumblr question? Is there the equivalent of a newsfeed for Tumblr, where I can see the posts of everyone I'm following threaded chronologically? And if not, what's the point of following people?
Update: Ah. The dashboard. Got it. Told you it was a dumb question.
Did you know, Ezra, that in some circles you're considered to be fawnworthy? And you just stepped in one? Just warning you, bro.
Pretty small right now — the Washington Post's Suzy Khimm says only 20 people met up yesterday — but nonetheless it's interesting. They also have a specific goal — going after the huge amount of corporate money in politics. I work close to these guys; I might stop by. — Ernie @ SFB
Whatever the explanation, there appears to be more life in the Obama brand than the pundits might think, and than the Republicans might hope.Policy superdude Ezra Klein • Reacting to a recent poll which suggests that Obama has stronger post-midterm stock than his two predecessors. While people trusted the other party to solve problems more than the president after the unsuccessful midterms for both Clinton (in 1994) and Bush (in 2006), Obama still has a little bit of an advantage over the GOP this time around. "There's been a lot of criticism of Obama's communication skills lately," Klein notes, "but if you look at the polls, he's doing a far better job than his predecessors did preserving his brand within an unfriendly political environment." source (via • follow)
A procedural failsafe that's theoretically meant to protect the rights of minorities was just used to restrict the rights of minorities.Ezra Klein • Regarding Democrats' failure to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell today in the Senate. Klein is, of course, referring to the filibuster, which allows 41/100 Senators to block any legislation from passing. Note: According to Klein, this quote (or the spirit of it) originated from his ace intern, Dylan Matthews. source (via • follow)
This is not the government making a major new commitment to the recovery. It's the government not getting in the way, and maybe doing a bit to help, the horribly slow recovery that's happening anyway.Policy wonk Ezra Klein • Regarding the tax cut deal struck today by The White House and the GOP. Klein likes the thirteen-month extension of unemployment benefits; on the bad side, he cites the effect the deal will have on the deficit. "It's a lot better than I would've told you the White House was going to get if you'd asked me a week ago," he admits, but still not quite enough to substantially stimulate the economy. source (via • follow)

Previous offices: --
Qualifications: I am a CPA with years of experience in accounting, auditing, and finance. Currently the auditor's office is one of the most expensive offices in the state, outspending St. Clair County by 65 percent or $243,000 in 2011. In 2011 the office had the same number of full-time employees as the auditor from Cook County. I will hold independence in highest regard. I will reject a pension as it is underfunded by $45 million. I will not accept or solicit gifts or tickets from vendors of the county.
Top issues: Madison County deserves an auditor with the qualifications and independence needed to fulfill the duties of the office as required by the law. I will be a working auditor and not just another public official.

Want to hurt workers? Raise the minimum wage
In the last session, legislators repealed New Hampshire's minimum wage law, defaulting to the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour. As expected, Democratic members of the House are pushing to reestablish the state minimum at $8 an hour and raise it every two years.
Rep. Timothy Horrigan, D-Durham, a sponsor of that bill (House Bill 127), said, "I think wages in general are too low for working people. We seem to have accepted in the private sector that people doing the actual work, people at the bottom of the ladder, people out in the field, haven't had a pay raise for years. We sort of accept that as a fact of life, and now it's being used against public workers who have been attacked for having the audacity to ask for a pay raise."
This is an extraordinary comment. Horrigan admits that the goal of his bill really is to raise pay for public employees.
What about the private sector? HB 127 would hurt low-wage workers, not help them. Economists David Neumark and William Wascher found in their 2006 National Bureau of Economic Research review of more than 100 minimum wage studies that "the oft-stated assertion that recent research fails to support the traditional view that the minimum wage reduces the employment of low-wage workers is clearly incorrect.... In addition, among the papers we view as providing the most credible evidence, almost all point to negative employment effects, both for the United States as well as for many other countries."
They also found that "the studies that focus on the least-skilled groups provide relatively overwhelming evidence of stronger disemployment effects for these groups." That is, raising the minimum wage causes even more of the lowest-skilled people not to be hired.
If New Hampshire legislators want to hurt low-skilled workers, they will hardly find a quicker and more effective method than raising the minimum wage.

Last night was the long anticipated premiere and comeback of the Project Runway, and I was lucky enough to host a group of the fabulous Style Coalition bloggers here at our NYC lounge for a very special viewing party, in partnership with HP - one of the official Project Runway sponsors.
Watching a fashion show with the group of 15 favorite girlfriends is such a fun experience, not to mention we all had to take our own HP design challenge by sketching a runway worthy look on the new HP TouchSmart desktops (which you already know I'm obsessed with).
Jordana from Clutch22 took home the well deserved winner title and a prize - her sketch (see below) was beautiful and frankly surpassed some of the designs we've seen on the show last night. I love how the new season is more challenging and entertaining than ever. I'm not sure yet whether we'll get to see any ground breaking fashion this season, but good TV is pretty much guaranteed. Thanks HP for hosting the party with us!
Visit www.mylifetime.com/hp during the season to learn about the technology used in the show. The HP and Intel Brand Boutique will also announce the upcoming "On the Runway Sketching Challenge," during which you can show off your inner designer in a drawing contest. Season eight designer Mondo Guerra will be a guest judge!

"Excellent! I used dried beans that I'd pre-soaked and I simmered them for 2.5 hours. (I like my BEP's consistency a bit more done and mushy... everyone's mileage varies. I loved the chicken broth in place of water and I also chopped up a half cup of pickled jalapenos and tossed those in the pot for some added heat and flavor. Very good!"

As a temporary work around, removing the window like this instead:
- cpp Code: Select all
so that the window gets focus before you remove it, then the bug won't occur.
I'm not sure if it has something to do with the modal window blinking when you click outside of it, or if its purely related to the window not having focus.
Tested using revision 3767, then I updated to 3876 (current at time of writing) and the error still occurs.

What do you think of it? Vote in the poll below.
Recently, Jennifer Lopez has dismissed rumors she's engaged to boyfriend Casper Smart after she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger earlier this month.
The singer/actress began dating her 25-year-old backing dancer in the months following her split from husband Marc Anthony last year.
Lopez sparked speculation they were set to wed when she was snapped wearing a band on her wedding ring finger, but she's brushed off the gossip.
In a post on her website entitled "The Truth About 'The Ring'", she declares, "Is there a ring on my finger? Let me tell you… Rumors!!! Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got. No engagement!"

MONUMENT, Colo. (CBS4) – A high school athlete is recovering in the hospital after losing part of his legs in an accident with a train.
Luke Hiser, 17, is the co-captain of the golf team at Palmer Ridge High School. The accident happened last weekend in Monument. Investigators were back on that scene Friday looking for more evidence.
Some other teens just happened to find Hiser lying on the train tracks a few minutes after the train hit him. Their swift action may have very well saved his life.
The teens had just finished cleaning up from a chaperoned barn dance to raise money for the Aurora theater shooting victims. They noticed the railroad crossing arm was stuck, and then they saw Hiser on the tracks.
"I looked closer and saw that he was hurt pretty bad," Ben Efram said. "So that's when I started dialing 911."
They tried to keep him calm and conscious until paramedics arrived. They said their training as lifeguards helped them stay calm themselves.
What Efram didn't know at the time was that the victim was somebody he had known since first grade. He said the reality sunk in much later.
"It's kind of just shocking to know that it could happen to someone you have known your entire life," Efram said.
They visited Hiser in the hospital as he heals and he has thanked them, but that's not what they want.
"We don't want to take any gratitude or praise for this; for finding him," Alex Turner said. "We don't want that title as a hero. We're just grateful that we were there."
They hope others will learn a lesson from the near tragedy and think twice about their actions.
"You're not invincible, it's a real wake-up call," Turner said. "I think we want people to take from this — it can happen to anybody."
The teens said Hiser is in good spirits and should eventually be able to walk and hopefully play golf again.
A support barbecue for Hiser will be held Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Dirty Woman Creek Park in Monument.

United Kingdom Has Run Out Of Money
February 27, 2012 by admin
Filed under News Stories
February 27, 2012
Daily Telegraph
By Rowena Mason
In a stark warning ahead of next month's Budget, the Chancellor said there was little the Coalition could do to stimulate the economy.
Mr Osborne made it clear that due to the parlous state of the public finances the best hope for economic growth was to encourage businesses to flourish and hire more workers.
"The British Government has run out of money because all the money was spent in the good years," the Chancellor said. "The money and the investment and the jobs need to come from the private sector."
Mr Osborne's bleak assessment echoes that of Liam Byrne, the former chief secretary to the Treasury, who bluntly joked that Labour had left Britain broke when he exited the Government in 2010.
He left David Laws, his successor, a one-line note saying: "Dear Chief Secretary, I'm afraid to tell you there's no money left".
Mr Osborne is under severe pressure to boost growth, amid signs the economy is slipping back into a recession.
The Institute of Fiscal Studies has urged him to consider emergency tax cuts in the Budget to reduce the risk of a prolonged economic slump.
But the Chancellor yesterday said he would stand firm on his effort to balance the books by refusing to borrow money. "Any tax cut would have to be paid for," Mr Osborne told Sky News. "In other words there would have to be a tax rise somewhere else or a spending reduction.
"In other words what we are not going to do in this Budget is borrow more money to either increase spending or cut taxes."
The strongest suggestion of help for squeezed family budgets came from the Chancellor's claim that he was "very seriously and carefully" considering plans to help lower earners by raising the personal allowance for income tax, a proposal that has been championed by Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister.
But he implied there would be no more help for motorists struggling with record petrol prices this spring. "I have taken action already this year to avoid increases in fuel duty which were planned by the last Labour government," he said.
The Chancellor's tough words were echoed by Liberal Democrat Jeremy Browne, the foreign minister, who warned that Britain faced "accelerated decline" without measures to tackle its debt and increase competitiveness.
In an article published today in The Daily Telegraph, he writes that Britain's market share in the world used to be "dominant" but was now "in freefall" compared with the soaring economies of Asia and South America. "This situation has been becoming more acute for years," he adds. "It is now staring us in the face. So we need to take action."

The first (and only) USB bowling ball
Edit:mk1 Author: Original:
Just about every day, we come across a blog or site that claims to have found the worst or dumbest (or both) portable USB drive. And we usually agree each time, until the next one comes along. But we're somewhat conflicted over this 16-pound bowling ball, which the Raw Feed calls the "worst USB gadget yet." We admit that it kind of defeats the purpose of portability, but we still like it, probably because it reminds us of our drive-in movie days (memories over memory?). There's just one question: How do you toss it down the lane while keeping it plugged in?
If you have any question need deeply reply,pls call us or leave your contact information as follow, let our professor explain to you by short message or E-mail as soon as posible!

Quote of the day: Dec. 26, 2008
Note: This is not to suggest I'm going to begin posting quotes I find every single day. (Though I may) I do have a life, you know, albeit, not much of one.
The hinting and intimidating manner of writing that was formerly used on subjects of this kind [religion], produced skepticism, but not conviction. It is necessary to be bold. Some people can be reasoned into sense, and others must be shocked into it. Say a bold thing that will stagger them, and they will begin to think. — Thomas Paine / Letter written to Elihu Palmer

Not simply a holiday hookup, the two parties involved generally show signs of genuine, sustained affection toward one another, eg spending a lot of time together and neglecting their other friends. John: ''Whats up with Pete?''
Steve: ''He's just ended his vacationship with Steph'' |

friend: I didn't know you were in a relationship? me: I'm not, we only see each other when we're on vacation. It's better than a relationship, it's a vacationship! |
6. | Vacationship | ||
Describes the fling you have with a person you hook up with for a few days on vacation or business trip. Not to be confused with a one night stand "Went to Cancun for spring break!"
"How was it?" "Had a 3 day vacationship with this SAM named Maria I met on myspace!" "Hope your girlfriend doesn't find out" |
7. | Vacationship | ||
When you date someone from a city much cooler than the one you reside in, presumeably for vacation rights. Jenny's boyfriend lives in NYC, but they're not serious, it's more of a vacationship.

USA College Loans: Things you need to know [Tips + Video]
The cost of college education is increasing every year. Lack of information about student loans can be devastating and therefore it is becoming very important for students and parents to discuss seriously about student loans.
If you are considering student loans then you must understand how much the total cost of those loans might be including interest and other finance charges, student loan forgiveness, student loan consolidation, and project how long it will take them to pay the loan off after graduation.
Recently CBS News published a great video about student loans. They talk about type of student loans and other options are available for students and parents. Please find the video below and we hop you'll find it useful.
They also answered questions about types of college loans like which one is suitable for students or parents ie. Federal Stafford and Federal Perkins loans, parent loans (PLUS loans), and private student loans.
Wishing you success in searching for funding for college.

Welcome to
Last night we were watching Ghost Rider. Rusty paused it to let the dogs in and get something to drink. Copper and Bopomer came in the living room and Copper laid down. All the sudden she saw the TV screen, it was a shot of the ghost rider in the motorcycle both in flames. She growled and stood up never taking her eyes off of it. She barked a warning bark and then started to walk up to the TV. Boomer is trying to figure out what is going on and I am trying not to laugh! She continues to watch it, growling and moving so she is standing in front of me and starts to really bark. Rusty finally calls out "what is going on in there". Copper stopped barking but stilll watch the screen growling softly. I was cracking up telling Rusty what happened. He then set the DVD on slow-mo. Copper didn't bark but would look at it and then look away when we laughed. Poor little girl
Ha ha winston growled at the tv once...we were watching a show and at one point to guys got mad and started yelling at one another...Winston didn't like the deep growly voices and his head went up and looked right at the tv and started growling. It was really hard not to laugh.
Another time (a couple months after we got him) we were watching tv and when ever this one charater would speak he would bark (he was in another room on his bed) it was hilarious....someone else would talk and that would be fine but as soon as that one guy talked he'd bark....though he was a little lazy, he'd bark but would get off his bed to see if it was really worth barking
Mother told me a story because she was watching the dog this week (which by the way, she constantly asks me "why don't you just leave her here at the house?" the woman is trying to steal my dog out from under me) Mom says that she laid down on the floor for some reason and Lacey comes up and licks her hands and face, paws at her back, stands on her, etc as though something is wrong and she is trying to revive my mom. The dog never does that for me! Glad to know she has a good instinct and a good heart.
LOL that's one thing they don't look mean at all but that low grumble of a warning growl they give before they start barking cracks me up.
My GSP Scout loves TV.

100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (30 out of 30)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: *Small
*easy to use
*can trust it
*batteries should last a while
*pointer is cheaper than batteries!
Got opened by customs and was deemed safe... obviously.
Cons: *red... (although i already knew this)
*0.5mW (Same as above)
*Bad diverenge, although it is for presentations...
*Deep red (difficult to see)
*tiny holes in the dot (this laser has a wierd diode, not the normal round one)
Other: if you want a pointer for presentations or playing with your cat/animal.
get this, even though my cat doesnt like it yours might.
if you loose it, smash it, who cares. just buy another one or realise you need more power for your presentations...
the batts will last for hours of your rambling!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Laser pointer are always fun! Its shaped like a pen and comes with a clipon so you can clip it onto your shirt pocket. Build quality is decent and you just slip in two AA batteries and that's it.
Cons: Shipping was delayed a bit as Customs opened it first. The button to press the laser is a bit loose and there isn't an option to hold down the laser so you'll need to keep your thumb on it if you want it pointing. The laser dot seems to diverge over a distance and this makes the dot not as accurate.
Other: Fine laser for people who want a 0.5mW
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Switch feels nice and solid, although the metal button itself is loose
- It's all metal, there are no plastic parts on the outside
- Uses AAAs, much better than button cells
- My cats love it!
- After many hours of playing with the cats, it's still on its first set of batteries
Cons: - I bought two, one had a slightly off-centre laser module which made the beam reflect off the edge of the chrome tip. I gave that one to my friend :p
Other: Excellent for the price!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Uses AAA batteries (rechargeable batteries work!)
- Pen is made of metal and feels very solid
- Priced very cheap
- Strong laser beam with great distance.
- Very stylish design that is suitable for business presentations.
Cons: - There are no cons to this product
Other: If you want to get a laser pointer then get this one. The biggest feature of the product is AAA batteries which are easily replaceable.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Really bright, i can't believe it's only 0,5 mW, it is more like 5 mW
- No problems with the customs, even though the package said: red laser (in my country >1mW lasers are illegal, that's why i bought this one)
- Great build quality: entirely made of metal, feels really solid.
- Divergence can easily be adjusted
Cons: - Button is a little loose
- You can't see how to put the batteries in with the right polarity.
Other: Perfect for those who want a good and bright laser that will get past the customs.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Classy red laser pen. It looks really nice when holding it in your hand, it's the size of a normal pen. The pen also comes with a clip to clip it onto your shirt or something else. It's powered by 2 AAA batteries, which are really easy to find.
Cons: Not really a con but: Mine came in a grey color, not in black. Still looking nice though. Also some scratches on the grey paint but not that much, I mean, it's only 2 dollars.
Other: Buy it if you like, it's really a classy looking red laser pen and it feels comfortable in the hand.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This one accepts 2 AAA batteries/accumulators. Compared to my keychain lasers, this is a great plus. The AAA fit seamlessly in the tube.
The overall brightness goes well with the advertised 0.5mw.
Cons: This laserpointer does not produce a dot as expected from a laser. Its more of a large ellipsoidal area that this sku puts out. It seems that the collimator is totally missing from this laser diode.
Other: I find it strange that, when rating the product with the function above, the score increased - instead of dropping due to my lower rating...
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I received my laser in the post earlier today, and from what I have seen so far, it looks great! It's much more powerful than the cheap $2 lasers you can buy at a $2 shop!
It's cheap and easy to hold, and uses AAA batteries, which are much easier to find and put in than those annoying button batteries.
Cons: The button feels a bit flimsy, and doesn't seem that secure, when you shake the laser the button rattles a bit. You need to press firmly to keep the laser shining.
Other: A cheap and affordable laser for presentations or just mucking around.
Looks like I'm going to have some fun with it ;)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Very great laser pointer, nice design. It says 0.5 mW thats not true, this laser pointer is over 1 mW. Price is amazing for that one. Light point is visible at night more over 1000 feet. Also laser beam is focusable.
Cons: No box, could be better design - like green laser pointers (construction). No included batteries. Thats it.
Other: Absolutely great laser pointer for that price. As I said it's over 1mW!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It's a very good built laser pointer, yet I think it is too big. when it is like 50 meters away the diagonal length of the point would be like 50cm, which I think is way too big. other it is very easy to use.
Cons: It runs out of battery way too fast. I put in 2 AAA batteries and after like 3minutes of using it it already ran out of battery, I think this is way too fast. This also completly ruins the product. together with the diagonal length of the point at 50 meters away I have to say this product really diaspointed me for a DX item. Then again the price ain't that high too.
Other: It's not that good of a product, I'm personally very disapointed in it.
