Comments On Jul 28, 2014:The hydration system is great as it doesn't bounce around like others do. It's a snug fit. But I did have to make an adjustment to the straps as the max extension was still too small for me. I'm 6.2 - the fit was too tight wearing back and chest protector. But there's an easy fix - 2 inch wide industrial Velcro cut to length solved the problem. The fit is now tight but doesn't hinder breathing. Only beef I have is the bladder - Being spoiled by the Camelback options this is a step back. But all in all it's a great product that I can recommend if you're also tired of you backpack hydration system bouncing around.

Comments On Sep 29, 2013:I bought this hydration system because I wear a Leatt neck brace. This pack fits perfect to my brace. It's almost like they become one unit when used together. All of the straps were designed to harness around the Leatt neck brace. The 85 oz. capacity is also a great feature. I go on 60 mile+ rides most times. The bite valve is well made and comes with a cover to keep dirt off it while riding. It's a low profile pack with almost no storage. It has a small zipper pocket. This is fine for me though. I use other methods to pack extra items for my rides. I really like this pack & would recommend it to other riders with a Leatt brace.

Comments On Jul 18, 2013:I have tried several different hydration systems and this is by far ,y favorite. It stays put and doesn't ride up your back with the strap system. Fits like a glove over my leatt neck brace. Pefect! I only wish they would provide a few more color options. Not a fan of yellow.

It is very early to handicap the Bruin's chances with the Class of 2012. Right now the primary efforts are focused on the upcoming July evaluation period with the obvious emphasis on the Class of 2011 who can sign letters of intent in early November. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to look at where UCLA stands early with the potentially outstanding players in the class of 2012. This is particularly important when you consider that the Bruins potentially could have a number of scholarships to offer this group of players. Here is a look at what things look like at the moment with some of the key young players UCLA is actively recruiting going into the month of July. Keep in mind it is very early and things can change quickly:Shabazz Muhammad, 6-4 wing Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman. We have already written extensively regarding the vast potential of Muhammad and nothing has happened to change our mind. We saw this lefty last weekend where he was a bit inconsistent but we still believe he is capable of moving to the very top of his class. He is a phenomenal athlete who can slash to the basket or just as easily nail a trey. He is also an outstanding very competitive young man who should have no problems academically. Muhammad has been compared to James Harden but has the potential to be even better. UCLA is off to a very good start with Muhammad and may indeed be the early leader. (Muhammad told us In February that he "loves UCLA". ) However, before everybody's hopes are raised too high, keep in mind that he is the son of former SC player Ronnie Holmes and SC is strongly recruiting him along with just about every other elite program in the nation. This is going to be a war for the Bruins to get his name on a Letter of Intent in about 18 months from now. For the rest of the story, please log onto BruinBlitz.com... ...More...

A South Carolina lawmaker is proposing a bill that would allow school employees with a concealed weapons permit to bring weapons onto campus.
"It's my belief that the gunmen are choosing a school that there are no guns, no weapons there to defend the children," said Rep. Phillip Lowe (R-SC) of Florence Wednesday.
"I think that's probably true of the ones in the movie theater, at Virginia Tech, all of these have a common theme that is nobody can defend themselves so this gives the teachers, really every employee at the school, be it a custodian, somebody that works in the cafeteria, the ability to actually carry a gun with a concealed weapons permit on the school premises."
Lowe says he's been discussing this concept with teachers, administrators and college presidents since 2007. He also says a benefit is it doesn't cost schools any money.

I don't play video games. I'm sure this comes as no surprise. The few times I have played a game it involved a furry animal working his way through some kind of tropical forest and the most violent it got was when he hit a villanous turtle on the head with a coconut. So, I am not familiar with Duke Nukem.
Of course, one Google search tells me he is a supremely popular, freakishly over-muscled, machine gun-wielding, hyper-aggressive action "hero" who is literally described in the Wikipedia entry as "frequently politically incorrect." (Hilarious. And accurate.) His character profile also claims that when he was first introduced, he was a CIA operative hired to save Earth from Dr. Proton. This would maybe imply that the game involved some kind of strategy, particularly of the secret intelligence kind, and also perhaps had something to do with taking down an evil scientist who has discovered some kind of new microbe that could destroy the planet, or, you know, blah blah blah whatever. Because the point is, in my brief and terrifying foray into this video game's website, I saw no evidence to suggest that this kind of thinking went into the development of this franchise, and that it's just what you'd expect. A guy who looks intensely devoted to his steroid regimen, has a penchant for unloading 50 rounds into anything with tentacles, and who appears to live in a post-apocalyptic land which is somehow still able to generously supply women with fetish outfits, bikinis, and manicures. Exhibit A – what greeted me as I came out of the subway this morning:
I apologize for the blurriness factor – but in this image, our man Duke Nukem is sitting in a throne (of course, of course) while two women in schoolgirl outfits sit at his feet. The caption? "This game has bazookas. Both types." Weapons, breasts, and a throne! What else could dudes possibly ask for? Well, actually…
In a video promo for the game on YouTube (if you're going to watch this, take a deep breath – and I personally would say NSFW) it gets even worse. There are shots of Duke on a shooting rampage interspersed with what appears to be him walking into a room and seeing a switched-on vibrator skidding around the room. The nicest touch? A hazard sign is on the vibrator and we're treated to a voiceover that says "You know you want to touch it." This could be an over-analyzation (no), but I'm going there – a hazard symbol perhaps because Duke Nukem, for all his hyper-masculinity, is terrified of female sexuality? Terrified of the idea that a woman may be sexually satisfied without him? Afraid of anything other than the hetero-normative/man in power/man's desire satisfied/woman as vehicle of this desire – kind of sex?
He then encounters two women – again in schoolgirl outfits – who at first seem like they might be fighting but then drop their weapons of choice to touch and caress each other in sexually suggestive ways. Duke is watching this while pointing a gun at them, and saying, "allll right, time for my reward." What is the reward here? Watching two women engage in sexual activity? Shooting the women engaged in sexual activity? Keeping your weapon out and pointed at the women to ensure they continue engaging in the sexual activity? Many other reviews of Duke Nukem have also pointed out its violent sexual imagery and encouragement of sexually violent behavior towards women.
Let's quickly discuss the schoolgirl outfits. Perhaps the most tired cliché of all, they hearken to this video game's weakening of any strong female identities by putting them in little girls' uniforms to negate any chance of adult agency. They also, disturbingly, speak to the pedophilic aspect of the schoolgirl craze, the sexualization of the vulnerable – children. Why do people who go after this fad not see how creepy it is? You are using a child's outfit to turn you on.
So, just to tally up:
1) Fetishizing women in outfits meant for children = pedophilic sexualization of grown women and increasing one's perception of their vulnerability
2) Referring to their breasts as "bazookas" = at once equating a woman's body part with an anti-tank military weapon and objectifying women using an offensive antiquated slang for large breast size
3) Displays of a lesbian encounter that has nothing to do with a healthy, respectful relationship that happens to be between two women = everything to do with stereotypical exploitation and eroticization of lesbian relationships for the titillation of an armed psychopath
4) Pointing guns at women = ….pointing guns at women
5) Claiming that watching women engage in sexual activity with one another, encouraging women to engage in sexual activity with one another, threatening women with weaponry to continue engaging in sexual activity with one another, or forcing them to engage in any kind of sexual behavior with you is your reward = You deserve it – you deserve to be sexually gratified however you wish because you shot a bunch of Men in Black rejects. (Here we have voyeurism, sexual assault, physical assault, and manipulation – impressive, Duke!)
6) And…a vibrator skidding around a room. Because, you know…vibrators are always on the loose!!!
I do not need to sum this up any further. I think it just concludes on its own. With a WTF.
If you aren't following me on Twitter, why don't you start here?

Things More Worrisome than AGW: Global GovernanceThursday, June 23rd, 2011

The pieces are still falling into place, The Bretton Woods chapter and the World Bank Development money are crystal clear and you can see the results all around. Soros is a firm advocate of IMF SDR's and he wants to use them to produce the $100 billion demanded by the UNFCCC for a "climate fund".
UN development aid is always used for "capacity building", which means they institute a bureacracy, whose wages they pay at higher rates than the average citizen can dream of, so they get core support. That bureaucracy then needs buildings, which produce nothing for the poulation, but institutionalises the UN. The bureacracy grows and becomes the de facto government with the country's bought-off president as the titular head.
The process is even on-going in industrialised nations. The EU now has an "embassy" in London called European House. More and more British people get jobs with the EU bureacracy, so they are not going to kill off the source of their livelihood by attacking the EU.
I have always been puzzled by Soros, a supposed Socialist, and his role in the dismantling of the former Soviet Union and the former Soviet states, which he did with the help of Gorbachev. The answer is that under the autocracy of the Soviet Union, he was not in control and could not direct them. Direct communism is not as controllable as Fabian socialism and it is that system that he has found the most beneficial for taking down sovereign capitalism and replacing it with global capitalism, where the elite control the world via the international monetary system.

Minister Reynders expresses his condolences on the death of Stéphane Hessel
It was with sadness that Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders learned of the death of Stéphane Hessel.
This member of the French Resistance, who was taken prisoner in WWII and endured the horrors of the concentration camps, became a champion of human rights. He helped draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and wrote the book Indignez-vous! (Time for Outrage!). He was made an honorary citizen of Brussels in 2011.
Stéphane Hessel, a man who always remained faithful to his convictions and always stood up for them, is, Didier Reynders feels, an example for us all.
Minister Reynders expressed his sympathy to the family and friends of Stéphane Hessel and extended his condolences.

I think it's a real bummer 100 hero3+ users have complained this POV yup POV camera didn't have inifinity focus for their toy planes, because no gopro have changed all the latest 0114..... Serial range models onwards to this horrible infinity focus and the POV aspect is lost with everything in focus rather than just the skier, guitar player, singer or the POV talent, please gopro revert this new stock back to what the 0813 and 0913 etc 2013 stock was.
GoPro updates with Hero3+
GoPro has announced the latest devices in its line of tiny, rugged video cameras. The updated Hero 3+ line features two cameras that are smaller than their predecessors yet pack some impressive specs.
The Hero 3+ Black Edition is the more high-end of the two new cameras, priced at $400. Weighing in a 2.6 ounces, (4.8 ounces in the housing) the new camera is 20% smaller and lighter than its predecessor, with a new 6-element aspherical glass lens that GoPro claims makes the Hero 3+ Black Edition 33% sharper than the Hero 3 Black Edition.
The other fresh face on GoPro's line is the Hero 3+ Silver Edition. While cheaper than the brand new Hero 3+ Black Edition, the $300 Hero 3+ Silver Edition is still a step up from the last Hero 3 Silver Edition. It's similar in weight to the Hero 3+ Black Edition, but imaging specs are different between the models: the Hero 3+ Silver Edition's 10MP camera is capable of 1080p at 60 fps and 720p120 fps video compared to the Hero 3+ Black Edition's 12MP camera capable of recording 4K video.
The audio on both new GoPros have greatly improved. The Black and Silver Editions both claim an increased audio range and the ability to handle 2x greater volume without distortion compared to their older Hero 3 counterparts.
From GoPro's press release:
The HERO3+ Black Edition - The Most Advanced GoPro Camera Yet.
The HERO3+ Silver Edition - 2x More Powerful.

Gabe Lacques, USA TODAY Sports
Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts threatened to move the club out of Wrigley Field if the team's plans for a larger scoreboard and additional signage are not approved.
Speaking at an event at the City Club of Chicago that included members of a rooftop residences' group, Ricketts told the assembled media and public that if the Cubs "cannot get approval for this plan and our signage plans are blocked we will then consider moving out of Wrigley Field."
The Cubs are seeking approval for a 6,000-square foot video board atop the left-field wall and four new signs ringing the outfield. Ricketts called the Cubs' current video board "mid-size" and cited the potential for tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue.
Speaking at the event, Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney said the changes would be necessary for the Cubs - long one of baseball's leaders in revenue - to remain competitive.
"We have to generate new revenue," he said. "We have to catch up to our large-market competitors on ballpark revenues, so this project has to work from a financial perspective as well."
Following his public remarks, Ricketts toned them down a bit in a follow-up session with reporters, saying that the club "wants to win at Wrigley Field."
Indeed, the Wrigley Field experience is an essential part of the Cubs brand, which would take a hit should the club move from the fabled park with its ivy-covered walls at the corner of Addison and Clark.
Nearby rooftop owners, who charge fans for access to watch Cubs games, worry such a board would block their views and have vowed legal action if that happens. Ricketts says studies indicate the views would only be blocked minimally, if at all.
Ricketts says the team will file its proposal with the city on Wednesday.

News and recent developments
- February 2013: Dr. Martin Almada reports that Fundación Celestina Pérez de Almada has been working since 1990 to promote food safety and generate employment for rural youth by promoting clean solar energy in Paraguay. Thanks to help form Switzerland and the Netherlands, CPA continues to manufacture solar cookers, solar food dryers, and solar water heaters. CPA is using solar energy to dry herbs for pharmaceutical use and tropical fruits for snacks.
- July 2010: The Vice Minister of Education, Héctor Valdez S. Ale, visited recently the headquarters of the Foundation PEREZ DE ALMADA to review the "Healthy Snacks with Solar Energy" program they have been promoting. It involves using solar driers to prepare local fruit snacks for the kids. The project to purchase the raw materials is possible through the efforts of Dr. Martin Almada and active community participation. The Vice Minister also toured the Center for Solar Energy (CEDESOL) to see a demonstration of solar cookers able to reach temperatures of 350-500°F.
- March 2006: Paraguay continues to be an exciting place when it comes to transforming lives through solar energy. Responsible for a long chain of successes are two closely entwined organizations: la Fundación Celestina Pérez de Almada and the CEDESOL Foundation. Led by Professor Martin Almada and engineer Jean-Claude Pulfer, the twin organizations bring solar energy out of the laboratories and universities to people in need. Their projects provide enough solar equipment and training to transform whole villages, creating solar futures in several villages, and bringing those futures into the present, one village at a time. With support from the Swiss Embassy in Paraguay, the Almada-Pulfer team recently supplied solar cooking equipment to two schools for lunch preparation. Solar food dryers will provide out-of-season healthy fruit snacks to students. Dr. Almada was recently awarded a prestigious European Solar Prize from the European Association for Renewable Energies (EUROSOLAR). The award honors his "commitment for the use of renewable energies in order to give people hope and find a way out of poverty." You can find more information on this award and view a short video of Dr. Almada's work here.
- July 2005: The Celestina Pérez de Almada Foundation continues to expand its solar program and to gain new allies. In March, the foundation began cooperating with Essen, a company that manufactures cooking pots that work well with parabolic-type solar cookers. A demonstration was held in Asuncion where popular local foods were solar cooked. Ms. Graciela Stanchuk, an international manager for Essen, pledged that the company would pursue further solar cooking tests. The Foundation has also developed a solar energy training program for students and school personnel, to be funded in part by the Swiss Embassy in Paraguay, and has begun making large Scheffler reflectors, of which two have already been installed. A Scheffler dish with 4.5-square-meters of reflective surface is being used to cook fruits at a juice and jam factory in Clorinda, Argentina. A second dish with 8-square-meters of surface will power an oven that reaches 250°C.

Remarkably lightweight, its ergonomic design reduces fatigue during repetitive cutting chores. The signature "sheep's foot" tip allows for a more linear edge from heel to tip than a typical chef's knife. It's ideal for slicing, dicing and mincing.

When hasty and unregulated development in the aftermath of the 1993 war threatened the historic character of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, a joint programme was established in 1999 by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the World Monuments Fund to create a framework for the reconstruction of the city's historic core. The main aims of the programme were to complement the reconstruction of the Old Bridge (undertaken by the World Bank and others) by revitalising the historic areas on both sides of the bridge. At the same time, as with all AKTC projects, the work was intended to increase the economic potential of the city which, at the time, was seen to lie in tourism.

Resurgence of Mostar's Historic City Centre: New Agency for Conservation and Development to Build on Completed Projects (Media Advisory)
In 1999, AKTC/WMF published a priority list of 15 buildings in the central historic district that would be pivotal to the city's economic and cultural recovery. Five of the buildings were restored, with AKTC and WMC investing nearly US$5 million, and another three were to be completed and returned to use with a US$ 2.2 commitment of funds from the World Bank.
In May 2001, a plan developed with AKTC/WMF support for the "Conservation and Development Plan for the Old Town" was adopted by city authorities. It was intended to ensure that the historic character of Mostar was preserved during rehabilitation and development.
Working with the Mayor of Mostar in 2004, AKTC/WMC helped establish an agency to guide future conservation and development projects in the city. The Stari grad agency was the product of a five-year collaborative effort between AKTC, WMF and the city of Mostar to plan for the preservation of the city's architecturally important historic core. The agency was to play an important role in overseeing future development within the historic city, and implementing its "Conservation and Development Plan for the Old Town."
In addition to planning for the city's future, training a new generation of conservation professionals, and advocating the restoration of these key buildings, AKTC/WMF have invested funds in the restoration of typical Ottoman buildings and urban fabric, such as paving and landscaping, around the historic Old Bridge. Rent and other revenues from the renovated buildings provide income for the Stari grad Agency, according to an agreement with the Municipality.
Proposals and design plans for the buildings on the AKTC/WMF priority list are published in: Reclaiming Historic Mostar, Opportunities for Revitalisation, published in 1999 and available by request from AKTC or WMC. To order, please send us an e-mail.
Conservation and Revitalisation of Historic Mostar, a brochure published by AKTC, is available as a PDF on-line (English, 2.91MB).

Conservation of Mostar Old Town, Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina (1986)
By the 1960s, the 16th-century historical core of the town of Mostar was physically deteriorated and commercially stagnant. It has since become revitalised and reactivated as a thriving business centre. Stari-Grad, the agency in charge of this restoration project, is a semi-autonomous organisation approved and subsidised by the Ministry for the Protection of Monuments and Nature of the Republic of Herzegovina in Sarajevo. Beginning in 1977, Stari-Grad spent three years documenting the historic centre. Subsequently it has undertaken the restoration of the river embankments, a 16th century Ottoman tower and bridge, a 17th-century clock tower, two mosques, a madrasa, private houses, a tannery and shops that date back to the 18th-and-19th centuries. The jury noted that the rehabilitation of this wide variety of building types "has been handled in an exemplary manner. All the restorations fit well into the general atmosphere of the old town and its homogeneous appearance is not disturbed; nothing is overdone or touristic."

Sherefudin's White Mosque, Visoko, Bosnia-Herzegovina (1983)Sherefudin's White Mosque, Visoko, Bosnia-Herzegovina (1983)
The White Mosque serves as the religious and intellectual centre for the community. Its geometrically simple plan encloses a complex, slope-ceilinged, sky-lit volume, pure, abstract, sparsely ornamented and painted white. The archetypal Bosnian mosque has a simple square plan crowned by a cupola and entered by means of a small porch. The White Mosque's plan conforms to the archetype, but its roof is a freely deformed quarter of a cupola, pierced by five skylights, themselves composed of segments of quarter cupolas. The effect is one of confrontation between the elementary plan and the sophisticated hierarchy of roof cones. The principal symbolic elements, mihrab, minbar, minaret and fountains, have a fresh folk art character subtly enhanced by the avant-garde geometries of their setting. Commending the mosque for its "boldness, creativity and brilliance," the jury found it "full of originality and innovation (though with an undeniable debt to Ronchamp), laden with the architect's thought and spirit, shared richly with the community, and connecting with the future and the past."

San Diego Richard Garmo became the eighth and final defendant in the University of San Diego game-fixing case to be sentenced, receiving 24 months in federal prison Thursday from U.S. District Judge Anthony Battaglia.
Garmo, 43, who manages a convenience store in Pacific Beach, was considered one of three ringleaders in a conspiracy that involved marijuana distribution, illegal bookmaking and a college basketball game-fixing scheme. Prosecutors had sought a 30-month prison sentence.
The other two "primary" defendants — Steve Goria and Paul Thweni — each received 2½ years in prison. Goria was arrested in 2011 and recently released from a halfway house. Thweni is scheduled to begin serving his sentence Friday.
Ten people were indicted two years ago for various roles in the scheme. Eight pleaded guilty and have been sentenced, including former USD player Brandon Johnson to six months and former USD assistant coach T.J. Brown to 12 months. Charges against two others, Lilian Goria and Brandon Dowdy, were dismissed last week.
Garmo's attorney, Gerard Wasson, had recommended a sentence of up to 18 months, arguing that his client wasn't part of the conspiracy's initial formation and didn't have an active leadership role. In a memorandum filed with the court, Wasson said Garmo had great financial pressures that led him to become increasingly involved with gambling in a misguided attempt to ease the burden.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- The Taliban say they will attend a meeting in France to discuss Afghanistan's future but will not talk about peace and reconciliation.
Spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said by telephone on Monday that two of the group's representatives will attend next week's meeting, which is being organized by a French think tank on the outskirts of Paris.
Representatives from the Afghan government's peace council, political parties and the militant Islamist group Hezb-e-Islami will also attend.
The meeting is not expected to produce results, but it will represent a rare-face-to-face gathering of Afghanistan's major players.
French Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman Vincent Floreani says an intra-Afghan conference will be held this month and organized by the Foundation for Strategic Research.

I moved to New York in May of last year and began to work and intern for several fashion designers and showrooms, including Abgail Lorick. When I showed Abigail a clip of Mimi speaking about the importance of illusion, she was immediately struck by this profound and kindred spirit. We knew we had to get Mimi to appear in Lorick's upcoming fashion week presentation, and it was my mission to do so. This was my great opportunity to call Mimi on the phone. I looked her up in the yellow pages, dialed her number, and to my great surprise, that wonderful almost aristocratic voice called out from an answering machine, " This is Mimi Weddell, please leave a message and I will call you back." Mimi had been receiving a lot of phone calls for work and was very selective about who she called back. After a few days with no response and several emails to Jyll Johnstone, I was put into contact with Mimi. I met her at her at her apartment uptown. Her place was filled from floor to ceiling with glorious hats. There were books and paintings, and newspaper clippings in every nook and cranny. Sayings like "Rise above it" were neatly scribbled on scraps of paper, stuck to the refrigerator. I entered the apartment with as much wonder and excitement as I would a cave full of crystals or an Egyptian tomb. Mimi, cigarette in hand,offered me Brandy and cookies.
Mimi was a fantastic storyteller . She would animate her tales with glorious glances and expressive hand motions, almost as if she was performing a grand part in a Broadway play. The world truly was her stage. After appearing in Abigail's presentation and stealing the show, I began to receive inquiries into who this fabulous older woman was. Mimi appeared in major print ads for Burberry, Juicy Couture and Louis Vuitton, and had several small acting roles in shows and films including Sex and The City and Hitch, but was never fully recognized for her outstanding talent as a serious actress and performer. To me she was an icon, both for her style and her inherent wisdom and elegance.
Mimi and I got together several more times over last year. I planned a hat party for the release of Hat's Off to DVD and organized some photo shoots and interviews for foreign press interested in Mimi's wonderful style and vibrant character. Just a few weeks ago I sat with Mimi at a nursing home. She was as beautiful and sharp as ever. She always encouraged me to be creative and told me that I could do great things. Mimi was one of the first people I met in New York and she will remain a cherished part of my memories. Her strength and determination had a profound impact on how I look at life. I feel extremely honored to have spent time and worked with such an incredible woman.
Love and Strength to her family.

Herd still hampered by lack of experience
WOULD IT be a stretch to blame Marshall's 27-24 loss to Ohio on the previous coaching administration?
Probably, but one thing keeps gnawing at me.
As I outlined Thursday night/Friday morning, Ohio had more fifth-year seniors - yes, all who had redshirted a year - on its two-deep than Marshall had seniors of any variety on its roster. With room to spare - the count was about 15-9.
And I didn't tally the fourth-year seniors and fourth-year juniors on the Bobcats' two-deep - two and about 17, respectively. Unless I am out of my mind (don't rule that out), I haven't seen a Thundering Herd opponent with that much experience in some time.
How does it happen? How does it seem I am writing about a young Marshall team, or youthfulness on one side of the ball, year after year after year?
On this one, let's go to the 2008 and 2009 recruiting classes, the last two under Mark Snyder. The '08 class produced wide receiver Antavious Wilson and Devin Arrington; the '09 notables included Aaron Dobson and Andre Snipes-Booker - the two players pressed into service early in that knee-jerk redshirt torching at Virginia Tech.
I'll review the '08 class at length after the season, as I traditionally do. But the first thing to know is this: It was a smaller class to begin with, a few short of the maximum 25. Expect the same thing with the class of '13, since MU's senior class is so small.
Seven players of that class were junior-college signees, and there were more than a few washouts and bad-luck injury cases such as Jamie Hatten. Then there was John Youboty, medically sidelined at Marshall but now playing his senior season at Temple.
The number of players remaining from the signing class of 2009 is down to 10, with one not on the two-deep. Snyder went after jucos, including two quarterbacks who did little but chew up reps. A third QB, A.J. Graham, is gone, along with highly touted linebackers Quan Fletcher (West Alabama) and Phil Walker (Indiana State).
That's why Marshall is so bottom-heavy on the experience scale. Add in this: Current coach Doc Holliday's hurriedly assembled '10 class already has melted in half.
The talent in Holliday's last two classes should excite Herd fans and yes, it should be better than what ex-Nebraska coach Frank Solich can lure to Athens. But when Solich brought his two eighth-year coordinators and a horde of well-evaluated, well-developed Bobcats to town Saturday, they were favored.
As they should have been. But the question: Did all that experience swing the result?
You could argue against it, based on the play I consider Ohio's game-winner. I speak of sophomore Larenzo Fisher stripping the ball away from fifth-year senior Wilson, and sophomore Nathan Carpenter plucking it out of mid-air and racing 48 yards to the Marshall 31. With Matt Weller on their side, the Bobcats had a near-automatic three points.
So with a junior- and senior-laden roster, how do two youngsters turn the game so drastically? They've been led and led well by their elder teammates, that's how.
After Weller's field goal, the Bobcats' defense never flinched when Herd QB Rakeem Cato shredded them in the two-minute drive. They needed just one play to put the game away and got it from linebacker Jelani Moseley - an interception by the fourth-year senior.
Call it a victory over adversity. And now Marshall faces some real adversity - the Herd must defeat Rice, Purdue or Tulsa to avoid its second 1-5 start in three years.
If Holliday successfully follows Solich's example, he'll someday have a busload of juniors and seniors, veterans who laugh in the face of adversity and show their protégés how to do the same.
For now, this young Herd team must grow up, and do it posthaste.
Other ponderings from the Herd's setback:
I'm not sure Grooms would have done much better than his fellow tailbacks, who gained 27 yards on 16 carries. Cato was the most effective runner by far, netting 32 yards despite two sacks.
In using tailbacks, there are other considerations.
"He needs to get in more. We need to get Grooms in, we need to get Butler in the game," Holliday said. "It wasn't a coach's decision; I think it was just the flow of the game. We got toward the end there, there was a lot of pass [protection] and some things that had to take place. I think JuJuan [Seider, running backs coach] went with the two older kids that he felt more comfortable with, as far as pass pro goes."
Snipes-Booker and Butler are doing as well as can be expected in today's snooze-inducing kickoff game, averaging 21-plus yards between them. Snipes-Booker has the team long of 28, though.
He has a 6.4-yard average on seven punt returns - a long of 19 and not much else. The Herd is going to need to do better in the coming weeks.
By the way, Ohio suffered a brain cramp in attempting a "pooch" kick. When you kick off from the 35 and have the school's best placekicker, pooches should only refer to dogs.
And if you must pooch, don't kick it to Alex Bazzie. His 14-yard return not only gave Marshall its best post-kickoff field position of the game, the 39-yard line, but it might have struck fear in a Bobcat or two. Bazzie has vaulted up the depth chart at defensive end by (a) getting ripped in the weight room and (b) playing angry.
The good: The Owls are not known for their defense, and the first three games have done nothing to prove otherwise. After yielding 609 total yards Saturday, they are averaging 531.3, 117th of 120 teams. (Interestingly, cross-town rival Houston is 118th.)
The bad news: There is that Texas thing. I'll go light on it this week, but the Herd has played eight games in the Lone Star State, and have either imploded late or generally stunk it up every time.
Let's put it this way: Out of 480 minutes, Marshall has led just 34 minutes, 56 seconds - and not since the first half of the 2007 Houston game.
Yep, Herd players and coaches should just look ahead.

Elements of IPM for Apples in New York State
download pdf document, 157k
IPM Elements provide a basis for self-assessment of your apple IPM practices.
Practicing 80% of all the Apple IPM Elements qualify a crop as "IPM-grown" (excluding those not applicable (NA) to your orchard).
Download the Worksheet for Apple Elements in Excel format.
This page also includes: Major Pests of Apples and References
|I. Site, Rootstock, Cultivars and Planting Systems
|Check if Done
|1. Select new orchard sites that have good air drainage or proximity to large bodies of water for frost protection.
|2. Site selection should consider non-point-source pollution from orchard-applied fertilizers and agrochemicals and how soil type, slope, watersheds, and groundwater relate to surface runoff, tile drainage, and persistence in and leaching through the soil profile.
|3. Whenever possible, avoid selecting sites near abandoned orchards where pests and diseases can be harbored.
|4. Remove abandoned orchards to reduce sources of pest infestations and disease inoculum in a manner that minimizes soils erosion.
|5. Do not plant new apple orchards immediately after old apple orchard removal. Practice crop rotation out of apples for at least one year, or plant a cover crop in the year before planting and incorporate into the soil to improve organic matter content, suppress replant disease, weeds, and, depending on cover crop species, reduce nematodes.
|6. New orchards should include size-controlling rootstocks to improve spray coverage and reduce amount of spray material applied per tree row volume.
|7. Select apple rootstocks that are adapted to local soil conditions and resistant to Phytophthora root and crown rot and fire blight. Plant disease resistant cultivars that have market-appeal, as soon as they are available.
|8. Plant single rows to promote light penetration, air circulation, optimal spray coverage, and rapid drying.
|9. Establish groundcover between rows quickly to prevent erosion and suppress weeds.
|II. Soil Management, Tree Nutrition and Irrigation
|Check if Done
|1. New orchard soils should have good tilth and fertility and adequate soil drainage should be provided to prevent root diseases and promote healthy root development.
|2. Before planting, chemically analyze new orchard soils and correct pH, phosphorus, and potassium.
|3. Chemically analyze soil and leaf tissue at appropriate regular intervals and add fertilizer, either to (1) maintain tree nutritional status or (2) correct a nutrient deficiency, based on the soil or leaf analysis results and Cornell Guidelines. Keep records.
|4. To maintain tree nutritional status, add fertilizer, based on soil and leaf analysis results, and do not exceed the yearly maximum amounts of 100 lb N/acre, 50 lb P2O5/acre, 150 lb K2O/acre, 50 lb MgO/acre and 4 lb B/acre.
|5. Apply all soil nitrogen in spring between bud break and 10 days after petal fall. Applications of more than 50 lb N/acre must be split into two or more applications, especially on soils with low cation exchange capacity.
|6. Balance nitrogen applications with tree growth to eliminate late summer and fall growth, to protect against the shoot blight phase of fire blight and winter injury.
|7. For irrigated orchards, use trickle or drip irrigation so that water quantity and placement minimizes disease development, optimizes water use, and minimizes erosion.
|III. Tree Training and Crop Management
|Check if Done
|1. Prune annually during the dormant season to promote light penetration, air circulation, optimal spray coverage and rapid drying; chip and recycle prunings in orchard middles with flail mower or burn prunings where local regulations allow burning of brush.
|2. Whenever spray coverage and pest management suffers from dense canopies, summer prune densely foliated, vigorous trees in a manner that does not negatively impact fruit size or finish.
|3. Use appropriate fruit thinning to promote annual bearing and improve management of sooty blotch, fly speck, and obliquebanded leafroller.
|IV. Pest Monitoring, Forecasting, and Management
|Check if Done
|1. Alternate hosts for apple insect and disease pests near commercial orchards should be removed as much as is feasibly possible and in a way that preserves the habitat of native wildlife and soil quality.
|2. Regularly monitor pests (weeds, insects, mites, diseases & vertebrates) and their damage to assess their levels. Use visual assessments, pheromone traps, sticky traps, etc.
|3. Keep records of all monitoring information, sampling dates, pest or damage levels, trap catches, thresholds used for each block, etc.
|4. Base pesticide treatments against pests on established thresholds, pest forecast models, weather conditions, established presence of the pest, and history of damage in the orchard or on fruit at harvest. Consult Cornell Guidelines.
|5. Keep records of pesticide applications, including: date, time, weather, operator, sprayer, field identification (farm, orchard, block, rows — as applicable), targeted pest, pesticide name and EPA number, formulation, REI, PHI, rate applied, and number of acres treated. Computer software, such as TracApple, can streamline record-keeping.
|6. Keep detailed records of tree row volume (TRV) calculations whenever pesticide sprays are applied on this basis.
|7. Use only pesticides registered in NewYork State and approved for the target pest and crop. Consult NYS current product registrations at PIMS.
|8. Among registered pesticides of comparable efficacy, base selection on the optimal combination of (1) being least toxic to humans, livestock, wildlife and the environment, (2) selectivity, having low toxicity to key natural enemies, (3) having shortest residual persistence in the environment, and (4) reasonable cost. A way to guide selection is to consider those with the lowest Environmental Impact Quotient EIQ (108k pdf file) value or to use the Natural Resources Conservation Service pesticide screening tool, WIN-PST software.
|9. Apply insecticides, miticides, fungicides, bactericides and herbicides in accordance with resistance management program guidelines when using pesticides at risk for pest resistance development.
|IV.A. Groundcover and Weed Management
|Check if Done
|1. Manage groundcover in a manner to reduce soil erosion, nutrient runoff, and herbicide use.
|2. In the row middles, use close mowing to manage weeds.
|3. Eliminate broadleaf plants that harbor insect pests and virus diseases from sodded row middles by prudent use of selective, broadleaf herbicides.. .
|4. Maintain adequate weed suppression in the tree row in a strip <1/3rd the between row spacing or <1/4th in irrigated orchards.
|5. Base herbicide rates and selections on weed surveys. Keep records.
|6. Keep records of location and identity of difficult to manage weeds.
|IV.B. Insect and Mite Management Table of Specific Practices
|Check if Done
|1. Arthropod monitoring methods and thresholds should conform to Cornell Cooperative Extension New York State IPM Program guidelines.
|2. Use pheromone traps and phenological developmental models to inform management decisions for problem insects as necessary, such as obliquebanded leafroller, codling moth, oriental fruit moth, plum curculio, spotted tentiform leafminer, San Jose scale, apple maggot, etc.
|3. When applicable, mating disruption is used as a management tactic.
|4. Release and conserve predatory insects or mites by using selective pesticide programs.
|5. Sample fruit at harvest from blocks to assess and record damage levels of direct-feeding pests and optimize future management programs.
|IV.C. Disease Management Table of Specific Practices
|Check if Done
|1. Cultural practices for disease management, where practical, should include removal of overwintering inoculum, pruning and removing cankers, and weed and canopy management to promote air circulation and rapid drying.
|2. Disease management, monitoring methods and thresholds should conform to Cornell Cooperative Extension New York State IPM Program guidelines.
|3. Use disease development and forecast models to inform management decisions for problem diseases as necessary, such as apple scab, fire blight, etc.
|4. Scout orchards for the shoot blight phase of fire blight. Prune out infections where practical and remove infected prunings and trees from the orchard.
|5. To preserve predatory mites, use EBDC fungicides (mancozeb, maneb, metiram, thiram and zineb) prior to bloom only or not at all.
|6. Sample fruit at harvest from blocks to assess and record disease levels and optimize future management programs.
|IV.D. Vertebrate Management Table of Specific Practices
|1. Use appropriate exclusion fencing (barrier, electric, invisible fencing with dogs), or exclusion netting, trunk guards, habitat manipulation, and orchard sanitation (eliminate dropped apples and brush) whenever possible.
|2. Reduce vole and rabbit populations with close and regular mowing of drive lanes, orchard middles, and surrounding fields to minimize available habitat and food sources. Eliminate unmowable areas within the orchard.
|3. Enhance natural predator populations (kestrels, owls, fox, etc.) by manipulating or providing habitat to assist with vertebrate management.
|4. Monitor for rodents to determine the need for rodenticides. When needed, apply rodenticides in bait stations, rather than broadcast treatments.
|5. Conduct vertebrate pest population reduction through shooting or trapping only as defined by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regulations.
|V. Safe and Efficient Spray Application Methods
|Check if Done
|1. Use drift-reducing sprayers (tunnel, sensor, tower) or sprayers modified to direct the air (towers, deflectors, angled fans, side baffle plate, air induction nozzles).
|2. Select nozzles that optimize droplet size and don't create too many fine droplets. Nozzles must point towards the target canopy.
|3. Use buffer zones near water, neighboring crops, properties and other sensitive locations.
|4. Spray only when wind, temperature and humidity conditions are suitable for spraying.
|5. Inspect, maintain, and calibrate crop and herbicide sprayers once per year, or more often if needed, to ensure mechanical reliability and accurate spray delivery. Keep records as described in the Orchard Spraying website.
|6 .Sprayers should only be operated by certified applicators, as defined by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regulations, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
|7. Sprayer application records should include details of the sprayer such as nozzles fitted, pressure, forward speed and application rate.
|8. Thoroughly clean sprayers after use or between different product applications.
|VI. Harvest and Fruit Storage
|Check if Done
|1. Bins of harvested fruit should not be left in the orchard overnight.
|2. Remove any soil and sod stuck to bin runners prior to stacking bins of fruit.
|3. Use a sanitation system to kill bacteria, yeasts, and fungal spores in water flumes.
|4. As bins are emptied on the packing line, any decayed fruit left inside the bins are removed and trashed.
|5. Remove empty bins from the packing area as soon as possible to prevent their contamination with airborne spores.
|6. Remove culled fruit and other debris from the packing area and from the packing house floors daily.
|VII. Post Harvest Treatments
|Check if Done
|1. Use postharvest drench treatments only when such treatments are essential for controlling superficial scald or carbon dioxide injury.
|2. Whenever possible, apply calcium treatments as field sprays rather than as postharvest treatments.
|3. Fit drencher reservoir tanks with appropriate agitation systems to keep postharvest treatment chemicals in suspension and regularly change solutions as per the chemical label.
|4. Remove all solid residues from the bottom of the drencher reservoir tank before the tank is refilled.
|VIII. Education of Growers and Employees
|Check if Done
|1. Attend two or more regional or national tree fruit meetings or conferences.
|2. Maintain membership in an appropriate grower association and in a local county Cornell Cooperative Extension Association.
|3. Have access to the current year's copy of the Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for Commercial Tree-Fruit Production.
|4. Participate in an IPM extension/research project.

Average annual precipitation for the Niangua Watershed is 40-42 inches per year (MDNR, 1986). The mean monthly precipitation at the Buffalo weather station, which is located near the center of the watershed, is shown in Figure Hy01 The wettest months are typically May, June, and September and the driest are December, January, and February.
Gaging and Water Quality Stations
Gaging and water quality stations are listed in Table Hy01 and mapped in Figure Hy02. There have been six (United States Geological Survey) gaging stations and two low flow stations in the Niangua Watershed. In addition, 19 water quality stations and one gaging station were monitored by the USGS for the Upper Niangua Animal Waste Project (UNAWP) between 1991 and 1995. Five water quality stations were monitored in 1989 and 1990 by a private contractor, Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE), to satisfy Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requirements for Tunnel Dam relicensing (ESE, 1990). Sho-Me Electric Corporation helped fund the installation and maintenance of a new gaging station in November 1995 immediately below Tunnel Dam (NR) to monitor flow.
Stream Flow
The most downstream USGS station on the NR near Decaturville (G026) indicated a median flow of 325 cfs between 1929 and 1969. The drainage area for this station is 627 square miles. A flow duration curve for the Decaturville station is shown in Figure Hy03. The low 10:90 ratio (ratio of the discharge exceeded 10% of the period of record to that exceeded 90% of the period of record) of 8.8 indicates that flows are not highly variable. This value is at the low end of the range exhibited at other stations with similar drainage areas throughout the state (Skelton, 1976). Although no quantitative data is available, the median flow of the LNR as it enters the lake is usually noticeably less than that of the NR. The most downstream station on the LNR, near Macks Creek (G025), was operated as a low flow and crest station between 1962 and 1971 so median flow is not available. The only continuous record station in the LNR watershed was on Starks Creek (G024), a third order tributary. The Starks Creek flow duration curve (Figure Hy04) with a 10:90 ratio over 400 indicates highly variable flows at this station. This station is in the headwaters of Starks Creek (SM 12) where the average gradient is 30.8 feet per mile.
The magnitude and frequency of low-flows at several stations in the watershed are shown in Table Hy03. The low flow is the lowest average flow over a 7-day period that is likely to occur during a given recurrence interval. These can be useful for evaluating the impacts of effluent discharges or water withdrawals and droughts during critical periods of low flow. In Missouri low flows usually occur during August, September, and October (Skelton, 1976). Skelton also explained that Ozark streams usually have the best sustained low flows in the state, due to large underground reservoirs in the solution dissolved carbonate bedrock. However, solution channels can also divert groundwater before it reaches streams, and drain surface water from losing streams in some areas. In many of the watershed's streams, considerable water flows in the gravel beneath the stream bed during drought. Fourth order and larger reaches of most tributaries sustain permanent flow throughout the year. Maximum and minimum discharges for four gaging stations are shown in Table Hy03. Small streams in the watershed are flashy, with high flows after significant rainfall. Flood discharges at gaging stations with sufficient data are shown in Table Hy04.
The Niangua Watershed contains numerous springs (Table Hy05; Figure Hy05). Some of the springs listed in Table 12 were found in historical records (Skinner, 1979) or on 7.5 minute topographic maps so their current status is unknown. Skinner (1979) reported that many strong flowing springs went dry following agricultural development in the watershed. Some landowners have also reported that small permanent springs have ceased flowing in the last 50 years (Bob Schulz (MDC), pers. comm.). The largest springs in the watershed are Bennett Spring, the fourth largest in Missouri, and Ha Ha Tonka Spring, the twelfth largest in the state (Vineyard and Feder, 1982). Bennett Spring practically doubles the flow where it joins the NR at SM 65.9. Bennett Spring is supplied by an extensive recharge area (Table Hy04) which has recently been delineated by an MDNR study (Vandike, 1992). The recharge area includes portions of the Dry Glaize and Gasconade watersheds (Vandike, 1992). Ha Ha Tonka Spring flows about 1.4 miles to a cove on the Niangua Arm of LOZ. Many karst features and the dramatic faults evident in the vicinity of Ha Ha Tonka Spring suggest that a large underground reservoir may supply the spring (Vineyard and Feder, 1982). In response to concerns about steady increases in nitrates and phosphates in the late 1960s, a thorough study of potential contamination sources in the vicinity of Ha Ha Tonka Spring was conducted (Vineyard and Feder, 1982). To eliminate pollution sources in the vicinity, several nearby resorts were purchased and an extensive sewer system was installed. Several other springs of the Niangua Watershed are hydrologically connected to losing streams outside the watershed (Figure Hy05).
Losing Streams
Nineteen losing streams have been delineated in the Niangua Watershed (Table Hy06; Figure Hy05). A losing stream is a stream segment that loses 30% or more of its flow through permeable geologic materials into a bedrock aquifer. Low flow measurements or dye tracings are used to identify losing stream segments, and the MDNR Water Pollution Control Program maintains a list of identified segments. Wastewater discharges within two miles upstream of a losing stream must meet more stringent effluent limitations due to the potential for groundwater pollution. Thirty additional stream segments within the watershed have been identified as losing streams in recent dye tracings (Vandike, 1992), and are awaiting approval for the MDNR list. In addition, several losing streams have been identified in the spring recharge area that lies outside the watershed (Figure Hy05).
Impoundments are shown in Figure Hy06. Most of these were included in a database maintained by the MDNR. Impoundments with dams over 35 feet high are required to obtain a permit. However, many of the impoundments recorded in the MDNR database are not that large, and were registered voluntarily. Several additional impoundments over ten acres were located on 7.5 minute topographic maps. Lake Niangua (L010) is the largest impoundment in the watershed (360 acres).
Dam and Hydropower Influences
Two hydropower projects impact the Niangua Watershed. Bagnell Dam was completed in 1931 on the Osage River approximately 31 miles downstream from the mouth of the NR. It is owned and operated by Union Electric Company of St. Louis, MO. The facility has eight turbines with a maximum generating capacity of 215,000 kilowatt (kw). It is normally run as a peak load facility, meaning most of the power is generated during periods when there is high demand for electricity. Bagnell Dam impounds 55,000-acre LOZ, which includes the lower 21 miles of the NR and lower 10 miles of the LNR. Nearly the entire shoreline of the lake is privately owned. The Niangua and Little Niangua arms are typical of much of the rest of the lake - highly developed with numerous private dwellings and recreational businesses. Because the lake was constructed primarily for hydropower production rather than flood control the magnitude of water level fluctuations is much less than that of nearby COE lakes constructed primarily for flood control. Detailed information regarding LOZ can be obtained from the Lake of the Ozarks Management Plan (Stoner, 1999).
Tunnel Dam was completed in 1929 on the NR (~SM 29) creating 360 acre Lake Niangua, a very shallow impoundment which extends upstream 2.3 miles. The storage capacity of Lake Niangua is 2,650 acre-feet at normal pool elevation (711.5 feet MSL). The watershed of the reservoir is approximately 600 square miles. The project was originally operated by the Missouri Electric Power Company, but Sho-Me Power Corporation of Marshfield, MO, purchased the facility in 1944. The project is licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The facility has two turbines with a maximum generating capacity of 2,650 kw. It is a run-of-the-river facility and derives head for generation by diverting river flow from Lake Niangua through a tunnel to the power plant. This diversion results in greatly reduced flow in the bypass reach, approximately 6.5 miles of river between the dam and the powerhouse.
The Tunnel Dam project was recently relicensed for 30 years beginning June 1, 1994 by the FERC (1994). Requirements of the relicensing include:
- Minimum flows are to be released in the by-pass reach as follows: 60 cfs during March 15 - June 15; 40 cfs the rest of the year, or natural inflow, whichever is less.
- The project will continue to operate run-of-river, but Sho-Me Power Corp. has authorization to operate in a peaking mode under the following conditions: peaking can only occur in July and August; it cannot exceed two hours per day; fluctuations in the reservoir surface elevation cannot exceed 0.5 feet; and the resource agencies must be notified.
- A continuous-monitoring gage recorder is required in the bypass reach and the sluice gate will be calibrated to indicate discharge level.
In November 1995, the USGS installed a continuous record gage below Tunnel Dam with financial support from Sho-Me Power Corporation. Provisional data supplied by the USGS indicated that between December 5, 1995 and December 4, 1996, the daily mean discharge was below the required minimum on 111 of 356 days. The minimum mean daily discharge of 28 cfs was recorded on two separate days. The measured discharge was below the minimum flow requirement (60 cfs) during the spawning season (March 15 to June 15) on 51 of 93 days in 1996.

Putting to one side politics, words such as "excess" and debates about value, there do seem to be lessons at the core of this issue that apply to charity governance.
Why do we think that? Well, what seems to be key is the dynamic between director responsibility and decision making as against shareholder (or member) rights, expectations and powers. The same issues arise in charities and if not managed properly will lead to different but similarly rooted problems as those being played out in the media about bonuses at the moment.
Directors and trustees do need clear powers to make decisions that are in the best interests of the organisation. Without clear authority with clear lines of accountability and reporting the ability to make a "legitimate" decision is eroded. Trustees need also to appreciate acutely that there are members, that have certain expectations and have powers - powers to overhaul the constitution and thereby the organisation. Reading and understanding the charity's constitution may seem trite and obvious. However, there may come a point where a radical governance moment happens to the charity. Sometimes this will come as a shock, when perhaps it was an identifiable real and present risk that could have happened at any time.
Members on the other hand should appreciate that they have a role to play. In charities (particularly those set up as companies) it can be easy for members not to realise that they have important powers - powers that can very effectively hold trustees to account in a (potentially) "game-changing" way. Members should use these powers properly and should understand the consequences of using such powers.
There is also the issue for members (as was seen in the press at the weekend regarding the position of large institutional investors using shareholder powers) that they should not seek to micro-manage the organisation. Members powers should be used prudently and at the right time rather than create a switch of day-to-day or short term management from trustees to members.
What do these thoughts mean in practice? We think the following key principles apply:
Headlines about bankers' bonuses could not be further from the third sector. However, when we look at a cause of the issue and solutions that are discussed, we do see an underlying issue that also affects charities. The relationship between trustees and members is one that all successful charities will consider.

The Vulcar Ingot is a car available in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V. After Niko Bellic collects all thirty cars for Stevie, Stevie agrees to purchase cars from Niko with the Ingot fetching $1000.
The Ingot is a station wagon which appears to be primarily based based off the 1992-1997 Audi 100/A6 (C4 Chassis) with a rear-end more closely resembling a 1996-2001 Nissan Stagea. Like the Audi A6 it has a relatively square front end, striaght pillars, and a grill that sits just proud of the headlights. Despite sporting a racing steering wheel and pedals, the Ingot is underpowered and much less performance-oriented as the Stagea.
The Ingot has a low-powered 6 cylinder engine (somewhat reminisce Audi's underwhelming 2.8 liter V6, used in the C4 chassis wagon), coupled to a 4 speed gearbox in an FF drive-train layout (Fascinating or not, it should be noted that in GTA IV, the car is rear wheel drive.). The Ingot isn't very fast; after finding 4th gear, the car hesitates or cannot up-shift at all when on wide-open throttle. Its engine is not resilient, and may stop working after only a few crashes. The Ingot does, however, have decent handling, and its suspension is not too hard or too soft, making it perfect for regular street driving in Liberty City. It can go 0-60 in 12.3 seconds with a top speed of 150 MPH (250 KM/H). It is worth about $10,000.
A special "VD90R" variant of the car can occasionally be found in GTA IV; it's an Ingot with removed badging and new grill, a small spoiler with a small body kit, and candy red paint. This variant is driven by the Russian Mafia. Is based on the Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech Version.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the two default radio stations in the Ingot are Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 and Tuff Gong Radio. In Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned the default radio station is RamJam FM.
- The Ingot lacks an exhaust pipe in both Stock and VD90R trims yet a trail of fumes are visible.
- Ingot means "block of metal, (typically oblong in shape)", which could be a reference to the car's lack of value and its very square and linear design.
- Driving an Ingot around seems to spawn the Securicar and is seen driving around, this happens a lot faster in West and Central Algonquin.
- In GTA IV, the Ingot's platform is rear-wheel drive, but in GTA V it's a front-wheel drive car.
- The Ingot is rarely seen in West Broker, where the Russian presence is strong. But, they can be found too in Bohan. The VD90R variant is usually found in the Hove Beach area, where it is driven by Russian Mafia members. Otherwise, the car is very rare in GTA IV, being much more frequent in GTA Chinatown Wars.
- Spawns more frequently when driving a Hakumai.
- Found driving in Harmony
