Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Ford F150 Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.3
That the F-150 is the best selling truck in America for 33-years running tells you Ford must be doing something right when it comes to their full-size pickup line. Ever increasing competition, however, has forced Ford to step up its game, especially in the one area the F-150 has shown vulnerability in the past: Power. In what Ford bills as the most extensive powertrain overhaul in the 62-year history of the F-Series pickup, a total of four all-new engines and a new six-speed automatic transmission move the F-150 to the top of the horsepower and fuel economy charts. But Ford has not forgot the core purpose of its fabled truck, and knows that the bulk of its sales will come from buyers who genuinely need the unique aspects full-size pickups offer – big payload and towing capacities among them – instead of those who simply want to be seen in a pickup. With this in mind, Ford engineers have built in class-leading capabilities in both these areas while, at the same time, boosting fuel economy across the board. But don't think they skimped on creature comforts, as the 2011 Ford F-150 offers increasing levels of luxury from among its 35 variants.
If you want a truck with serious towing and payload capabilities, yet as quiet and comfortable as many luxury sedans, then the F-150 should surely be on your shopping list.
Despite this year's new round of engine choices, the 2011 F-150 still doesn't offer a diesel option, so if you are a firm believer in diesel you must shop elsewhere.
Four new engines mark the big changes for the 2011 Ford F-150: a 3.7-liter V6, 5.0- and 6.2-liter V8s, and a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. For the first time, a six-speed automatic is standard on all F-150 models. Other new features include the use of electric power-assisted steering, an available 4.2-inch LCD message center, a larger in-mirror rearview camera system, and a telescoping steering wheel.
Driving Impressions Ford is so proud of the F-150's payload and towing capabilities that it might be natural to assume the 2011 version would "ride like a truck." The surprising news is...
it doesn't. Instead, each and every version of the F-150 we've driven offered exceptional ride quality – no shudders, hops or hiccups – and a level of quiet that was startling. Each version also offered ample power, good acceleration and, thanks to the new electric power-assisted steering (EPAS), a level of steering feel and control that belied its size and heft. Perhaps most impressive was the towing demonstration in which we hauled 20-foot trailers with absolutely zero drama, thanks in large part to the pickup's trailer sway control, rearview camera and integrated trailer brake controller. Our off-road excursions in the well-equipped four-by-four versions of the truck demonstrated it has the goods to get it done in muck and mire as well.Tailgate Step
Designed to deal with the awkward and potentially dangerous chore of getting into the pickup truck's bed, the integrated tailgate step scored big. It deploys easily and even offers a safety hand-hold.
Roomy SuperCrew Cab
The cab in the 2011 SuperCrew is so roomy it out-measures some full-size sedans. In fact, the rear-seat legroom is absolutely limousine-like, and the mechanically articulated second-row seat flips up and out of the way, delivering an ample 57.6 cubic feet of space behind the front seats.
The 2011 Ford F-150's interior is both attractive and functional. Knowing men's hands would most often be using the controls, Ford designers made the knobs, buttons and switches brawny and put them within easy reach of the driver. The center console is both long and wide enough so it can easily accommodate two or more laptops, and it even has ridges so it can accept file folders. It is just one of more than 30 storage areas built into the interior for things like cell phones and music players. We especially appreciate the dash-mounted USB port and auxiliary music player input, plus the two easily accessible 12-volt outlets – one on the dash and one in the console – and even an available 110-volt outlet. Ford also paid special attention to the seats, which are some of the most comfortable in our experience.
ExteriorTwo generations ago Ford designers penned a swoopy, almost Ferrari-like F-150 that bowled over critics but didn't play as well with truck buyers. In the two generations since, Ford has made the F-150 much huskier, with an imposing front end, strong shoulders and a deep, deep pickup box. One drawback are the box's tall sides that make reaching into the center of the bed a difficult chore for all but the tallest among us; an available extendable side step somewhat alleviates this problem and is an option worth considering. The three-bar grille is the most important element of the design and if you're paying attention you can tell an F-150 trim level simply by the grille treatment – ranging from simple in the more work-oriented versions to more luxury-car-like looks for the up-level Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum versions.
The 2011 Ford F-150 comes in flavors ranging from plain vanilla all the way to banana split with whipped cream, nuts and sprinkles, but one thing all levels share is a robust, hydro-formed, boxed-section chassis that offers superior torsional rigidity while actually being lighter than the old-fashioned ladder frames of the past. The level of standard safety equipment is truly outstanding, including AdvanceTrac with RSC traction and stability control, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Safety Canopy side-curtain airbags with roll-fold technology for enhanced head protection in rollovers and side impacts. Safety is also enhanced by front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, "smart" airbags and seatbelts, a new second-row center head restraint and integrated spotter mirrors.
For those who really use their pickup trucks as trucks, the F-150 offers some exclusive options that are right on the money. Our two favorites are the integral tailgate step that makes clambering into the box easy and the spring-out box side steps that make reaching into the vehicle's deep cargo box much more convenient. Also earning high marks are the stowable bed extender and beefy cargo management system. And for those who have ever left a tool on a work site, never to see it again, the Tool Link radio-frequency identification tracking system enables you to maintain a detailed real-time inventory of the tools and/or equipment stored in the pickup box. When it's kick-back time, Ford's SYNC, SIRIUS Travel Link and a high-powered Sony brand audio system help you while away the time.
Do you want a gasoline engine or a gasoline engine? Perhaps the only shortfall with the 2011 F-150 is the lack of a diesel option, but the four new gasoline engines available – two V6s and two V8s – offer reasonable fuel economy, aided significantly by the addition of a six-speed automatic transmission. A twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 is offered, a first for this segment and an engine that promises both strong performance and good fuel economy. Both the 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 are fitted with fuel-saving twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) technology, and for towing needs, nothing can beat the two-valve per cylinder 6.2-liter V8s best-in-class 11,300-pound tow rating.

"Wished I'd taken more time to research these! Who would have thought that there is so much trouble with the 6 speed automatic? Or that there is a constant vibration that feels like a tire(s) out of balance? Better Google 2009 and later F150 problems or go to F150forums.com and read all about it. My transmission shifts and down shifts 'ok' but the way this truck dances around on the road after hitting a minor bump is ridiculous! It's going in to a driveline shop Wed to have the shaft balance checked. This is a problem too. Ford just replaces the rear driveline but uses stock from the same manufacture run! Too bad, this is a great looking and comfortable truck with tons of room in the backseat. My 5.4 gets 12.2 mpg in town ........"

"Sold my 2007 4 wheel 4 speed tranny F150 with 5.4 hoping for great fuel with the 4.6 and 6 speed tranny I now have. I only gained about 2 in the city and maybe 1 on the highway, Specs say I still have nearly same power and torque so a great advance. I like Chevrolet but the Ford is much more solid feeling and comfortable. I have owned several of both. Ford has always been the least repairs and tougher of the two. I will say Chevrolet gets closer on estimated MPG listings than Ford. I never get close to the estimates and drive decently. great truck. Huge comfort room inside. Wished tow hooks were still standard (I get in sand sometimes). I assumed they were standard until I noticed I had none. They used to be. Sync is very nice. I did not think would use it but I do a lot."

Born in 1948, Duncan Hunter served in the Vietnam War, then used the G.I. Bill to earn a law degree. In 1980, as part of the "Reagan Revolution," he was elected Republican Representative for San Diego. During more than 25 years in Congress, Hunter supported pro-life, pro-defense, anti-immigration, and anti-free trade legislation. His notable bills include the Right to Life and Secure Fence acts.
Early Life
Politician. Born on May 31, 1948, Duncan Hunter has served in the House of Representatives for more than 25 years. Conservative politics run in his blood - his father Bob was an active supporter of the Republican Party in California.
Known for his pro-defense stance, Hunter has firsthand military experience. He served in the U.S. Army from 1969 to 1971 during the Vietnam War. In 1973, Hunter decided to use the G.I. Bill as the means to become a lawyer. He graduated from the Western State University Law School in 1976 and went on to establish a small storefront practice in a largely Hispanic neighborhood in San Diego.
Foray into Politics
In 1980, Hunter threw his hat into the political ring. He ran against incumbent Democrat Lionel Van Deerlin in a predominantly Democratic district. To the surprise of many, Hunter was able to beat the odds and emerged the winner. His victory was part of what is called the Reagan Revolution, which marked the rise of conservatism in America and led to the election of numerous Republican candidates, including Ronald Reagan as president.
Political Leanings
During his tenure, Hunter has remained firmly pro-military, pro-life, and anti-free trade. As a member of the Committee on Armed Services, he lobbied for numerous defense projects over the years, including the Sea Fighter catamaran supply vessel and the DP-2 vertical-takeoff aircraft. Hunter has also been a strong supporter of military action in Iraq. His own son, Duane, is an Iraq war veteran, having served two tours as a member of the Marine Corps. He is actually running to fill his father's congressional seat. On a key domestic issue, Hunter has consistently been against abortion in all cases and introduced the Right to Life Act. He has also been skeptical of the country's free trade policies, especially in regards to China, saying that they are damaging to the U.S. manufacturing industry.
A staunch opponent of illegal immigration, one of Hunter's most famous accomplishments was writing the law calling for the construction of a barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border between San Diego and Tijuana. The law was established to curtail drug smuggling and illegal immigration. After the terrorist attacks of September 11th, the government became increasingly concerned about border security. Hunter's answer to this situation was to write the Secure Fence Act, which calls for the San Diego fence to be continued across the Mexican border in several states, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2006.
Presidential Aspirations
That same year, Hunter announced that he was forming an exploratory committee regarding a potential 2008 presidential run.

Being a MOMPreneur
My father started a small Print and Copy shop in 1980. He was a math teacher at a nearby high school, but had the dream to open his own business. He found a small space 2 miles from our home and opened up Barrington Printing. He started out 30 years ago printing invitations and personal stationery, and he also had a copy machine (this was all way before Kinkos). My father retired from teaching in 1992 and made the decision to grow his small printing company. I loved watching my father work hard and truly be able to have full control over his business life. Owning your own company isn't easy, that's for sure... there's a ton of blood, sweat and tears... but, if you have entrepreneurial blood in your veins, it's there... and it's not going anywhere. That's my father. His company has now evolved into a commerical printing company and employs over 35 people. Not only that, he's turned it into a family business. My oldest brother co-owns it with my father and my other brother, sister-in-law and sister work for the company. It's a pretty incredible thing being an entrepreneur. My father's drive... it's where I know I get my drive from.
I always knew I wanted to start something. Create something on my very own from nothing. My father has always been my biggest inspiration. I never knew what exactly I would start someday... but I always knew it would be something I loved and it would be when the time was right.
Enter MomGenerations.com.
I started MomGenerations.com in June of 2008 with my mother and my sister. We had been blogging for 2 years previous under the blog name, Pinks and Blues, but decided to make the switch to MomGenerations.com so we could completely change the direction of our blog. I wanted to turn MomGenerations into a business. I wanted it to be the place I "went to work" every single day. And so, I set out to do that... I became a MOMPreneur.
After working in the corporate world for 5 years, I knew I wanted to do something that would allow me to be home with my children. My job was one of those jobs that had crazy hours and required me to always sort of be "on call." I didn't want to be on call for someone else, I wanted to be on call for me. I knew I didn't have the capital to open a store or a start a baby line or create a fashion line... but I knew I loved to write, I knew I loved fashion and knew a lot about it, and I knew I loved to create videos, so I knew blogging would be the best way for me to go.
The thing about being an entrepreneur or MOMPreneur... you never know what is going to happen. You have to be a risk taker. You have to be someone who can handle pressure and questions. You have to have the drive to keep going when everyone else has stopped. I knew I had that in me, I always have... so nothing was going to get in my way from going forward with this dream to create a space online for moms talking about fashion and beauty and motherhood.
It's now been 2 1/2 years since MomGenerations.com has been up and running. It has been a complete adventure... it's a ton of work, but it's work I love to do. I know I'm doing exactly what I was put here to do, and that's a pretty incredible feeling to have.
Not to mention, I can be home with my boys. Which... to me, was the very most important thing of all. And now my husband is working with me, as we try to keep turning MomGenerations.com into more and more of a family business.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Redshirt junior Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS) scored 20 points as the FGCU women's basketball team shot 50 percent from the field and forced JU into 25 turnovers en route to a 74-57 Atlantic Sun Conference victory over Jacksonville Saturday night at Alico Arena.
"Fortunately we made enough defensive plays to win the game," said head coach Karl Smesko. "Jacksonville was very aggressive and it was a lot of work to match their intensity. I was really proud of the performance of Betsy Adams tonight, she has really given us a lift in conference play."
With the win, FGCU, winners of 21 straight A-Sun games, improves to 10-5 overall and 3-0 in the A-Sun, while JU falls to 6-8 overall (2-1 A-Sun). The victory also improves the Green and Blue's record against Jacksonville at Alico Arena (6-0) and in the all-time series with the Dolphins (10-1).
The Eagles, who average 8.1 three-point field goals per game this season, knocked down seven shots from behind the arc, led two treys from both Betsy Adams (Monticello, Ind./Twin Lakes HS/Valpo) and Joyce Iamstrong (Chicago, Ill./Thornton Fractional South HS/Jefferson College).
Hansen turned in 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the floor and 4-of-5 from the charity stripe. Senior Brittany Kennedy (Spokane, Wash./Lewis and Clark HS/Oregon State) registered 19 points, five assists, five steals and four rebounds in 33 minutes. Adams recorded 12 points, five steals and three boards, while Iamstrong finished with nine points and nine rebounds.
JU jumped on the Eagles early, taking a quick 12-7 lead 4:35 into the game. The Green and Blue responded with a 22-8 run, highlighted by six points from Kennedy and four from Adams, to grab a nine-point advantage (29-20) with 6:51 left in the opening period.
Jacksonville's Queen Alford drilled a three-pointer at the 4:31 mark to cut the FGCU lead down to 31-25, but the Eagles fired back with a 12-2 run over the final 4:13 of the period to take a 43-27 lead into the locker room at halftime. After going down early (12-7), FGCU outscored the Dolphins, 36-15, over the final 15 minutes of the period.
Kennedy led the Green and Blue with 12 points in the first half, while Adams and Hansen added nine points each. Hansen also added three assists and two steals in the half. FGCU shot 54.5 percent (18-for-33) from the floor and knocked down three shots from behind the three-point line. The Dolphins, who were forced into 14 first half turnovers, shot 46.2 percent (12-for-26) from the field and connected on two of their five attempts from long distance in the opening 20 minutes.
As they did the previous two games (at Mercer, at Kennesaw State), FGCU came out on a mission in the second half. The Eagles opened the second period with a 17-9 spurt, capped by a Kennedy layup, to grab a 60-36 lead with 11:15 left in regulation.
Jacksonville didn't go away easy, but were unable to cut the FGCU lead below 14 points as the Eagles went on to pick up the 74-57 conference win.
The Dolphins shot 47.2 percent (25-for-53) from the floor, 33.3 percent (4-for-12) from long range and 50 percent (3-for-6) from the free throw line.
FGCU shot 50 percent (27-for-54) from the floor and hit seven three-pointers on 26 attempts (26.9 percent). The Eagles also registered 29 rebounds, forced JU into 25 turnovers and tallied 14 assists on 27 made baskets.
The Green and Blue are back in action on Monday, January 7 when they host UNF (6-8, 2-1 A-Sun) at Alico Arena. Tipoff is set for 5:15 p.m.

I want my career to be in public policy advocacy for children health and education. From my paper on childhood obesity programs in Texas I see the need for legislation change for our educational system as well as support for community health awareness
I always wanted to work in public policy, and very knowledgeable through research and education. I'm about to graduate with my MHA and need to get on the right career path and follow my passion. I am seeking to work with an organization that focuses on education, health, and children - hopefully all three of those!
Our current system of education and healthcare makes workers instead of innovators, sustainers instead of achievers. The lifestyle of America is killing us, and the only way to stop it from continuing is for children to carry these changes forward

wow awesome sketchbook! i like that you work from simple to complex, where i think you could improve is in cramming more values into your images, and exaggeration, the later one i think you could focus on it, if theres something moving make it move even more! see how everything else reacts and try to make it work as a drawing, that is what the reference is there for, so if you want to change something you can look at the reff and see your starting point, either way you got some skills, and alot of good ideas, the sailor moon one cracked me up haha fun stuff, also start to think about composition, this is very important too since i see you are trying to make your own stuff so having a strong composition will help you make a better portfolio, keep it up man and be well!
good luck and work hard!

Hey there! Really cool stuff. I like how you cover a wide variety of things, well at that! It seems like maybe your anatomy could use a bit of practice. Also, I really love your studies, especially the water and fish!!!

some bitching stuff here man those last two updates kicked ass!. keep it up
would recommend keeping in mind that bodies are 3d forms, and making sure people can see those forms in a 3d way when you draw it.

You have some preety good stuff around here man, that drawing of the girl with the sword in her chest caught my attention because I drew something just like that some time ago, and now I see you're also from Portugal XD.
You're doing very well with the charachters and environment studies, don't stop posting.
Aragah- Thanks bro! I think that's the hard part to learn how to draw(line only).I need harder study on that.thanks a lot man.
Darsy-Hi pal, it's amazing to find someone from our country on here
Thanks! I have no intention to stop,hope you have none too!
Some studies and trying out some stuff.I liked the concept in the chair thing,but I'm not skilled enough to finish it,and started to get frustrated with it.
The pink one is a WIP I've been working on, having fun so far.
keep drawing y'all!
love the walking dead sketches! great work dude, great studies, especially the water ones
Care-thanks dude!
40min study and finished the pink thing,kind of.
stay cool cats.
odd book.
Some of the stylizations you have are really strong, but most of the characters suffer from some anatomy hiccups (areas of transition, like hips and armpits, but also collar and neck in general.)
You have some real strong illustrations though.
jedininjaman- haha that made me laugh XD thanks man! Those are points I definitely want to tackle,S O O N
Got my scanner to work!
WIP(overdone sketch,I can't really do perspective haha)
wow, awesome stuff! the fish+water one was amazing.
your style looks really good and all of your sketchy stuff is nice (you've definitely inspired me to draw more!)
also, do I see some studies from japan?
Clu-So glad to hear it,really am,thanks! I actually fight myself to draw less Japanese stuff,so that wont be a problem!
Satuthanks homie!
character design,pencils finished in photoshop
Cool character designs here and I really like the forest waterfall illustration. Remember to pay attention to reflected light in the shadows in order to turn the form more clearly. Sometimes and arm or a leg will fall kind of flat.
Keep up the hard work though

A mayoral forum on the future of technology in the city turned into a critique on the Bloomberg administration's ban on cell phones in city schools -- every candidate said they plan to lift the ban. NY1's Courtney Gross has the story.
Every democratic mayoral candidate said at a forum on the future of technology in the city Friday that on day one of their administration they would do away with a longstanding ban on cell phones in schools. "It's just reality. It's just life now," mayoral candidate and City Comptroller John Liu said. "It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to continue this kind of ban. The kids are taking them to school anyway."
"I mean you don't want it on in the classroom and distracting from education and what's going on there," mayoral candidate William Thompson said. "But you want students to be able to bring their phones to school. It's a safety issue."
The current mayor has long argued cell phones in the classroom would only be a distraction or could lead to cheating.
A spokesperson for the mayor rebuffed the candidates' suggestion on Friday, saying students have enough distractions.
Nonetheless, some parents have said they want their children to have them in case of an emergency.
And it just so happens, some of those parents are now running for mayor.
"It's a safety issue for parents," candidate Bill de Blasio said. "If you can't keep track of your kids, you don't know they are safe."
Besides cell phones in schools, the mayoral candidates covered another topic loosely connected to the tech sector in New York City -- whether or not unmanned drones should patrol city streets.
"I do not think drones are a safe security measure in New York City," candidate and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said.
Candidates Sal Albanese, de Blasio, Liu and Thompson all said they would not want drones used for surveillance.
Only one candidate at Friday's forum, Adolfo Carrion, left the door open to drones.
"I think the responsible answer is you use the tools that are available to you and to your society for surveillance," Carrion said.

I am going to be replacing my front door and am looking for ideas and pictures of nice front entrance systems. I have the door with side thingy on each side of the door. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Looking for something a little different then every other house.
Imurphyits nice post . keep it. i am looking for bathoom door replacement idea i want to make it nice and intersting.
Create a plan to install entrance doors that add elegance to your home. It's nice to allow room for double doors, if you have space. If you don't have this room, you can add light panels on one or both sides of a single door. Placement of the door should allow for smooth traffic flow for guests and family members to the immediate living area inside. Thanks for sharing.
The exterior of the Princess Margaret Hospital Oakville Showhome had a really nice natural wood door with panes in the side panels. Looks great with the grey shingles: http://houseandhome.com/tv/segment/princess-margaret-showhome-exterior
For something totally different, I just love this front door shot: http://houseandhome.com/design/quirky-colourful-entrance
Cameron MacNeil has curb-appeal tips here, too: http://houseandhome.com/tv/segment/curb-appeal-tips
I know these aren't door systems, per se, but might prove inspiring! Let us know what you go with!

Rod enjoys spending time in his 1950's soda shop, which he created in the basement of his home in Eureka. Making ice cream treats for family and friends sure does put a smile on his face. He even wears a replicated 1950's Soda jerk outfit when entertaining said family and friends. On the above mentioned day he created the Skyscraper Banana Split. It is created in a tulip sundae glass. Pour 2 ounces of chocolate syrup in the bottom of glass. Add 1 scoop vanilla ice cream. Split one banana lengthwise, then cut in half. Place Banana quarters in each corner of glass. Add 1 scoop chocolate ice cream to keep bananas in place. Pour strawberry topping on chocolate ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Serve to family or friends and enjoy.

Paul is one of the more popular models to populate the archives of Falcon Str8Men. We just can't enough of this charmer with the twinkling eyes and dimpled chin. This young stud is all business and intent on giving us what we want. He looks right into the camera and dares us to turn away, but we can't as he reaches deep into his calvins and jiggles the family jewels. Totally naked, he sits down and starts to masturbate, pulling his pud, stimulating, fondling, pleasuring himself like a madman. He slaps his cock, shows us his ass, and continues to jerk off until he finally shouts out 'Oh fuck YES!' and shoots. It's real; it's messy; it's a wrap!

The NV Energy employees gathered together on October 6th and held their first Pay it Forward "PIF" event to help feed hungry kids in Northern Nevada. Together their team assembled over 500 Snack Packs!
Snack Packs are distributed to homeless school children through the Northern Nevada Food Bank's Back-Pack Kids program and the local school system. The Back Pack Kids Program distributes backpacks full of food every week to 19 area schools. It's a very worthwhile and successful program.

Bad Purchase
January 14, 2012
These boots were difficult to get on. The side zipper is very short. Because the boots are not light in weight it cost $12.00 to return, which the distributor did not pay for. I would not do business with this company again.
Great Outdoor Boots
February 26, 2013
I've purchased two pairs of these boots over the past ten years and loved each pair. The zip-on feature makes them easier to take on and off in bulky winter gear. While the first pair eventually cracked and needed to be replaced, they lasted almost seven years, which I believe was well worth the money considering their usage. Would certainly not hesitate to purchase again.
Pros: comfortable, easy on/off, Cons: plastic toe susceptible to cracking over timeLove these boots!
April 11, 2013
I wear an 8.5 usually, but ordered a 9 in these. I borrowed an older pair of the exact same boot in 8.5, but this new pair must run a bit smaller. The sole is very cushiony, and the boot is REALLY warm (feels great in Jackson Hole). The traction on snow & ice is excellent, too. The boot is a bit stiff, which can be uncomfortable on my ankle bone after a while, but they should break in nicely. Based on previous North Face boots, this pair should last a number of years and just get better with time. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, is because my heel slips, while the toe bed is more snug. May need to try different inserts (normal-narrow foot). Otherwise, the boot is perfect! My other brands are nice (esp. like Sorel), but this North Face boot is definitely my go go boot! My favorite aspect is the easy on pull tab & side zip! LOVE not having laces!!!
Pros: no laces!The North Face Women's Greenland Zip II Boots Photo

Abstract: Endocrine disrupting chemicals, among them many pesticides, alter the normal functioning of the endocrine system of both wildlife and humans at very low concentration levels. Therefore, the importance of method development for their analysis in food and the environment is increasing. This also covers contributions in the field of ultra-trace analysis of multicomponent mixtures of organic pollutants in complex matrices. With this fact conventional capillary gas chromatography (CGC) and fast CGC with mass spectrometric detection (MS) has acquired a real importance in the analysis of endocrine disrupting pesticide (EDP) residues. This paper provides an overview of GC methods, including sample preparation steps, for analysis of EDPs in a variety of matrices at ultra-trace concentration levels. Emphasis is put on separation method, mode of MS detection and ionization and obtained limits of detection and quantification. Analysis time is one of the most important aspects that should be considered in the choice of analytical methods for routine analysis. Therefore, the benefits of developed fast GC methods are important.

About the Author
Wes Machesney
I am a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan. I have been for as a long as I can remember. 9 times out of 10 I should be able to answer any question about the Bengals. I pride myself on the ability to judge talent & predict who has the best chance to the make the team. I am also a avid supporter of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Reds, Columbus Blue Jackets, Columbus Crew, & Chicago Bulls. I originally attended Tiffin University on a small football scholarship. At the age of 21 in 2003, I coached football at Chillicothe High School as the Varsity Assistant Offensive Line Coach, Junior Varsity Co-Head Coach, Junior Varsity Quarterbacks Coach, Junior Varsity Defensive Coordinator, and Junior Varsity Punt Return Team Coach. 2 Years later at the age of 23, I tried out for & made a Semi-Pro Football team in Lima, OH called the Allen County Buckeyes.

Hillary Rodham Clinton Lands Book Deal for Memoir
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will write a new memoir for Simon & Schuster, a book focused on "key decisions and experiences as Secretary of State." Publication is set for 2014.
Williams & Connolly attorney Robert B. Barnett negotiated the deal with publisher Carolyn Reidy. Jonathan Karp will edit the book for Simon & Schuster's trade imprint. Here's more about the book:
The yet-to-be titled book will use a number of dramatic moments during Secretary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State to frame her thoughts about the recent history of U.S. foreign policy and the urgent, ongoing need for American leadership in a changing world. She will write about her role in, and reflections on, such recent events as the killing of Osama Bin Laden; the overthrow of the Qaddafi regime in Libya; the transitions in Iraq and Afghanistan; the Arab Spring; the pivot to the Asia-Pacific; the rise of new powers like China, Brazil, Turkey, and India; building diplomatic coalitions to deal with Iran and North Korea; and our relations with important allies around the world.

Dear Friends & Family,
As many of you already know, Liv was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes just weeks ago. She has taken this on like a true warrior, handling her day-to-day routine like a hero, no matter how many times she has to prick her finger each day to check her blood glucose level or inject herself with insulin before each meal. She is however, continuing to do everything she did before the diagnosis, like play soccer, tennis, dance and still rocking the ever popular front & back walkovers any chance she gets! . She is a happy, healthy, funny, smart, beautiful 5th grader who loves to hang out with her friends; she just happens to be diabetic, diabetes will never define her.
Her big brothers Luke & Easton have been wonderful, loving & very heartening. We have been overwhelmed by the support & love of our friends & family. This has only confirmed our steadfast belief that it truly does take a village, we feel so grateful to be embraced by the spirit of our community. There are no words large enough or sweet to thank you all for that, but please know that you are our sustainers
On October 6th, our family will be walking in the annual JDRF Ron Santo walk to cure diabetes. We have formed a team to walk, "Liv.Life.Full". Liv, Luke, Easton, Michael and myself would like to invite you and your families to join our team and walk with us to support Liv and help fund a cure for T1D. Walking in the walk-a-thon is easy, open to everyone, and there is no cost to register. We encourage all walkers to register with our team on the website (link will be at the bottom of this e-mail) because only the registered walkers get the good stuff! ie- t-shirts, food and drink, kids zone, and entertainment after the walk. Everyone is welcome including strollers and dogs! We will have a tent with a large banner - "Liv.Life.Full" - for everyone to gather in the morning before the walk located at the starting area. We will have bagels, cream cheese, and waters to get people going! The walk-a-thon start is at Montrose Harbor and is fully explained on the website.
Also, we will be ordering team t-shirts. Our team link is provided below to register for the walk and if anyone chooses to donate to JDRF, you can do so on this same site under our team. It is the direct link to our family page on the JDRF site.
Lastly, if I have missed anyone with this e-mail please feel free to forward. If you have any questions or need help with registering, please e-mail us or call us at 847-831-0525.
Thank you so much!
Franny, Michael, Easton, Luke & Liv

Hi Scott and welcome to TN.
I'm sure you will find this site, a mine of information, and knowledgeable people. Please bear in mind the following tips: Search the forums (even using Google) before posting new threads. There is lots of gold in the old threads. When asking questions, provide as much diagnostic info as possible - hardware stats, etc and, especially, what you've already done and its results. Nobody likes "This broke. Help!" threads. We've all got our opinions and anecdotal 'evidence' on things but being able to cite other sources is also a boon to helping each other learn. Remember we're an international community. But above all else, enjoy yourself. See you around on the forums.
Hope this helps Be Safe Nige Cadishead Computers |

The Final Word
There's a lot of fun to be had here, so snatch up the Move controller, set an evening aside, invite some mates, get some pizza and pretzels in and prepare to have a gaming party!
Take three of Sony's iconic characters with their sidekicks and remove them from their normal surroundings and deposit them in an alien environment, that's the premise for this game. Jaxx and Dexter, Sly and his accomplice and Ratchett and Clank are quite literally hi jacked from their normal worlds and left on an alien world (or maybe in another dimension, it's not made clear which) and faced with each other and displaying a mutual distrust, they soon realise that they are no longer in Kansas Toto, and it may well be a good idea to cooperate with each other!
Things get from odd to weird very quickly as it seems that some mysterious alien creatures, have selected them to be the competitors in a series of challenges. Even odder though, is the main point of competing in these events, and it's not just about winning medals. No, it seems that part of these game objectives is freeing trapped creatures called Whibbles from cages and launching escape rockets. Why? Well that is never really explained but to be honest that doesn't matter at all.
The games are spread over four different zones with multiple challenges to be unlocked as you compete in the events. So what do the events entail? I shall go through some of them but not all as I do not believe in giving away spoilers where possible.
From the title alone, everything here is controlled through the Move controller which to be honest we didn't have here until recently. I didn't buy it to do this review! Anyway never mind all that. The game is meant for multiplayer action, and is reflective of the party game for the family action that is utilised so well by the Nintendo Wii. The controls for this game are very responsive indeed although I feel it best to use the official 'Nunchuk' style attachment rather than the six axis as a peripheral. It can be used and once you get used too it though it isn't bad at all. (I add I do not have the navigation controller yet)
The games on offer are strange variations on games and sports we know well for the most part. From throwing a disc that resembles a Frisbee to explode crates and unlock bonuses too a game that is a variant of ten pin bowling. Each time you score so many points, a Whibble (those caged creatures I referred too earlier are freed) and a medal is rewarded, and once you have achieved a medal, the next event is unlocked.
The characters and their sidekicks offer different tools for the trade to be used in the events. From Jaxx's gun to a whip wielded by Sly the items are used to shoot targets, whip robots to pieces, and rack up as many points as possible. In single player there is fun to be had but it's clear that it's geared towards cooperative play in your living room (rather than on line) with up to four players competing head to head.
The tools can all be charged up by collecting crystals that will power up the devices that will unleash the maximum amount of power they can. As an example, once enough crystals are collected, the whip delivers a high powered, cyclonic attack that sweeps all before it, and the gun delivers a meaty explosive charge indeed. This I believe happens in their solo games. (Yes I have never played any of their stand alone single titles and now I feel I want to try at least one of them!) The Frisbee by the way, can be guided towards the targets by using the remote itself and once these things are charged, they can be (with some practice I hasten to add) directed to hit multiple targets until they explode with a huge blast that is activated with a squeeze of the T button or trigger.
OK time for the breakdown as it were as to what we have on offer.
Graphics: Bright, colourful and look very nice indeed in HD! They are not as breathtaking as some games sure, but they are suitable and suit the party atmosphere of the games on offer.
Music: Bright and jolly and in some cases, annoyingly catchy! But that's no bad thing. They suit the mood of the game perfectly. But to be honest, you are normally too busy, whipping, shooting etc etc to take much, if any notice of the music!
Physics: These are very good indeed. The play controller is very responsive indeed, whether shooting, whipping or bowling or whatever the game on offer needs you to do. This is explained too you by the voice of a commentator so you are left in little or no doubt as to what you have to do.
This is a short review, true. I have not as yet, unlocked all of the challenges that the game offers. But I intend to keep on going until I have! One day maybe I'll bite the bullet and take a look at the online scoreboards to see how my efforts live up to everyone else's!
It's a bright, colourful and cheerful alternative to all the survival horror or shoot em ups or immersive RPG's on offer out there and should quieten some of the more vocal critics of video gaming and still some accusations of violence in games, etc, etc, etc.
Nintendo have a bit of a head start in this market, with Microsoft Kinect, and now Move trailing behind them. But keep offering titles like this one and they should soon start bridging that gap. This is a bright, cheerful and colourful package but above all else, it's fun with a capital F-U-N!
To be honest I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this title, but I have been cheerfully surprised by this game and as said, I shall juggle other titles I have for review and want to play in general with freeing the Whibbles from their cages and collecting medals whilst sniggering in a Muttley style way!
Don't just take my word for it, there's a lot of fun to be had here, so snatch up the Move controller, set an evening aside, invite some mates, get some pizza and pretzels in and prepare to have a gaming party! Go on I dare ya! Leave the battlefields of Call of Duty for a while and join the party, you will not regret it!

Fundraiser and cleat drive culminate in eye-opening Thailand visit
Published Tuesday, January 3, 2012 5:00 am
Jess Neilson
BC U18 provincial team standout Jess Neilson has returned from an eye-opening experience in Thailand. Neilson ran a cleat drive and fundraiser this past December and then visited Thailand to personally deliver the funds and cleats to the Nak Suu Tigers program. Here is Neilson's amazing story...
The Thai phrase Nak Suu means "Noble Warrior" in English a term that describes the kids in the surrounding slums or communities in Bangkok perfectly. They truly are "Noble Warriors" who really fight to survive everyday, live with the bare essentials and do everything possible to help their families get by no matter how rough their backgrounds are.
The Nak Suu Tigers Rugby Academy is a program that has sprung from Ark International, a Non-Profit organization that is partnered with X-Treme Rugby Wear (
). Nak Suu targets at-risk kids who live in five slum communities around the Bangkok metropolitan area (population approximately 20 million people). These young boys and girls are at risk of many dangers from human trafficking, prostitution, drug abuse and teenage pregnancy to child labour, all of which prevent them from completing their education. Through Rugby, Nak Suu reaches out to these kids and instils life skills development, build trust, hope, self-esteem and courage while making a lasting impact on their lives. This creates a healthier cycle of children finishing their education and making positive changes in their lives and their immediate worlds.
I came across Nak Suu when BC Rugby posted an article about Eddie Evans (co-founder) on their website in 2010. Being a member of the BC provincial under-17 women's team at the time, I was touched to hear about his work with Nak Suu. Being half-Thai and an avid rugby-lover, I was thrilled and wanted to do something with Nak Suu when the time was right. Eventually, that time came around when I heard from my parents that we were going to Thailand for Christmas. The first thought that popped into my head was "Nak Suu!"
I emailed Sopo Fakaua and [former Canadian national team player] Eddie Evans, Nak Suu co-founders and asked what Nak Suu was really in need of as I wanted to give something useful to them. When Sopo responded and said the children cannot afford cleats, I thought of how many spare cleats I had lying around the house and how many other members of the rugby community had lying around their houses!
Knowing how amazingly tight-knit rugby communities are as well as how quickly word spreads, I put out the word through emails, my BC U18 women's provincial team and other BC Teams, as well as the Meralomas and other Lower Mainland clubs and Carson Graham Secondary. The North Shore News helped me further the cause with a picture and advertisement and I employed some social networking skills through a Facebook page I started. Before I knew it, I had cleats flying through the door!
At the culmination of the cleat drive I collected 80 pairs that I hand-washed and paired up to make them clean and special for the kids receiving them. I also fundraised $605.00 (the equivalent of approximately $18, 400 Thai Baht). Nak Suu is hoping to expand sometime in the future, and wishes to buy some land and build two rugby fields as well as a clubhouse and a few other facilities to accommodate more kids. To the grounds they want to add tutoring centres, English classes, career and health education classes and other subjects to help these at-risk kids in the future.
When my family and I arrived in Thailand, we had arranged a meeting with Sopo and the Ark International South East Asian Headquarters which is where the Nak Suu office is located. I got to meet some of the wonderful staff who have amazing stories of how they came to Ark and Nak Suu. I also learned more about what Ark stands for. From there, we took a taxi to the province of Samut Prakan just south of Bangkok where we walked though a market, took a commuter boat across the water and hired tuk-tuks upon reaching the other side to take us to the first community.
It's astounding how much most people take for granted in our lives. Seeing these communities really opened my eyes to the world around me. I study about disparities in wealth and related issues in school, the pages in my textbooks go on and on, but it never seems real. It always seems as if it's another dimension or reality that not many people ever see

I was just listening to Tom. I saw him, In Connecticut once when I was much younger and didn't realize what a gem he was until later (sure did enjoy the show though - small place with about 60 people attending)
Wow Wow Woohee!! Normally I like horns, not when they cover up someone like that.Originally Posted by AdmiralAdama
I'm sitting in a bar attempting not to listen to the country music "artist" whose wailing makes me believe he recorded the "song" with a noose around his neck, secure in the knowledge that the chair was going to be kicked away as soon as he finished the last note.
Now there's another one on that made the last one sound cheerful.
I love The Maiden. Used to use this as my ringtone.
WARNING: The video has a lot of war scenes.
