I would try the NiCad Lady: http://www.nicdladyonline.com/
They rebuild and custom build batteries in multiple chemistry/configurations. I gave them a challenge and they were up to the task. Good luck.
Jessica,
Our Juniors sell popcorn at our Bingo, return pop bottles from the hall, and sell house number signs with reflective numbers. They have several "50/50" raffles during the year. Hope this helps.
I took the following definition of “professional” from the online Merriam-Webster dictionary. While it is true that in some instances, professional refers to a career, in others it is clearly a gauge of how one performs, rather than whether or not...

Intro to Fire Officer
- About Me:
- I joined the newly formed Hartland Fire Company in 1971 and left in 1977 due to moving out of the district. After a four year break, I joined Wrights Corners in 1981, and in 2005, moved again back to my roots and rejoined Hartland in 2005. In these two companies, I have served in many positions: President, Vice President, Secretary, EMS Captain, Fire Police Captain, Parade Marshall and Third Assistant Chief.
My other passion is Boy Scouting. I have been involved off and on since I became a Scout in 1955. I have attended a National Jamboree, (1957), Philmont, National Sea Base, and many years at Summer Camp. After I retired, I worked in our local Scout Store and 9 years at Camp Dittmer. After several years of non-involvement, I am going back to Camp as Shooting Sports Director this year. For my years at Camp, I attended 4 BSA National Camp Schools.

I've used/use the Cairns 1000 classic have to say its my favorite helmet, have used the 1044 as well again great helmet can't really go wrong with a Cairns helmet.
I agree with Senator lets just cancel all the training for these type of situations because everyone knows that a national level security threat can NEVER happen on U.S. soil well except of course for Pearl Harbor oh yeah and 9-11 and then I guess...
