2014 MINI Previewed: The Interior
Sources familiar with the new interior have called the final form a huge step forward for MINI and likely one of the selling points of the new car. While these photos don't fully show that new form, they do show a radically altered design brimming with new technology.
First let's focus on the image itself and break-down the details of what many of you have been pouring over. What we see here is the cheapest spec interior (there will be four total) with the top finished in rough prototype plastic. The higher spec interiors will actually feature different and improved soft dash materials similar to the new 1 Series BMW.
Then there's the odd looking bezel around the central stack. That chrome bezel that happens to be in the passenger's hand is a bit more than the simple piece of plastic it may seem. The strip around the circular portion of the centre stack is actually mood lighting which lights up and swirls around when you engage the keyless ignition (now standard).
Additionally, there are those seats. Seats that offer one thing that we've been clamoring for since 2001 – thigh bolstering. Long a hallmark of BMW's optional sport seats, it would appear that MINI will finally be getting the option thanks to parts sharing. And that's not all. The seats shown also have more aggressive side bolstering and look to feature alcantara as well. What is still not final is if the MINI will receive the adjustable bolsters BMW's do or just fixed position bolstering for those sport seats.
MINI fans are already asking, what about the speedometer? The center speedo on the MINI is no more starting with the F56. This is for two reasons. First, MINI has taken hit after hit in consumer surveys with the primary speedometer being located in the center of the car. They're finally listening to that feedback. Secondly, the electronics of this car will be almost identical to the upcoming front wheel drive BMW, and while that doesn't mean they couldn't do a center speedo, it meant that there was additional cost this time in making it happen.
Instead of the center speedo, the F56 will feature a traditional dial speedometer behind the steering wheel where the current rev counter is. The new tack will be a smaller, semi-circular gauge attached to the left hand side of the speedometer. It's a more contemporary design, and frankly, a little funky. Changed though it is, one could never accuse any MINI interior of being boring.
The air vents lose their circle shapes with the center two vents being a more traditional square shape. But don't fret, the circular theme will be continued with round vents near each door.
In the photo, just behind the passenger's left knee, is the large triangular chrome-and-red start/stop switch which is designed at this time to pulse like a heart beat when the ignition is turned on. However, this isn't final and may get removed for production.
The circular bezel around the shifter itself is also a bit more than a piece of plastic. It's actually a switch that can rotate from ECO to Normal to Sport settings. The system will operate in an identical fashion to BMW's current system. Sport will work similar to the current sport button in that it gives the steering more weight (but not less feel as with the current system) along with more aggressive throttle response. On cars with the optional 8 or 9 speed auto the button will also change shift programs so that gears are held longer and the shift points are more aggressive for better acceleration.
As mentioned previously, what we are seeing here is the lowest specification entertainment interface, but as some of you have pointed out, it's coupled with a prototype H/K system as evidenced by the tweeters in the A-pilar.
There you have it. Lots of new design elements within a revised design language. But what about the technology? Check back tomorrow for a full rundown of technology that MINI will offer with the F56.

How does anyone get their
Submitted by Guest350 (not verified) on Wed, 03/23/2011 - 1:36pm.
How does anyone get their arm "caught" in a car? Maybe he needs to learn that he can't hold back a moving vehicle. Firing a gun at the vehicle was a questionable act, as the person in this case is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

June 10 primary Tuttle, Boland competing for Senate seat
Thursday, May 29, 2014
SANFORD — On June 10, local Democratic voters will be asked to choose between two well known candidates who have represented the Sanford area for several years.
"I like what I do. I've been blessed in my life," Tuttle said in an interview last week.
He said he particularly likes working with constituents, helping people in his district. He holds weekly constituent hours in his Sanford home.
If he is elected in November, Tuttle said he plans to run for the position of Senate Majority Leader and to work to improve relations between the two major parties in the legislature. He said he would also like to restore the "circuit breaker" tax credit program which helps older taxpayers with limited income with their local property tax.
Among legislation Tuttle sponsored in the last session was a bill to give hiring preference to veterans and to help veterans exposed to environmental hazards during their service. Tuttle said he also voted to restore some of the revenue-sharing funds to Maine's municipalities, funds that had been cut in the governor's budget.
Tuttle said he is also concerned about the increasing costs of higher education.
She said protection for the state's power grid does exist and that it is not expensive, but for some reason, the power industry does not want to take measures to protect its infrastructure from what she says is a very real threat.
Boland said she is also concerned about environmental issues, including water, and mining, as well as consumer protection and fairness issues.

Gray, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee National Guard members are again training in Mississippi for deployment to Iraq.
More than 130 of them, who belong to the 730th Quartermaster Company, left their armory in Gray last night, headed to Camp Shelby.
Some soldiers are being deployed for a second time in the current war in Iraq.
There are also some soldiers in the unit who served in the Vietnam war.
Moe Molchan of Knoxville says the public's perception of service personnel is much better now than in the 1960s.
Molchan put it this way, "You're not a 'baby killer.' The community here is real supportive."
The departure Thursday was the second time a unit has moved out of Gray in less than a month.
The 176th Combat Sustainment and Support Battalion departed in June for eventual employment in Iraq.

Gearing up for PvP: Gaming surfaces and keyboards
My wife recently won a Facebook contest run by those Razer guys to win a Sphex "gaming grade desktop skin", which is actually just a fancy name for a mousepad. That was great timing, too, because she'd been confined to using a ratty Manila envelope as her mouse surface for the past couple of months. She'd been able to raid just fine (apparently Manila paper works better than some conventional mousepads), although a new mousepad might help.
Once you've gotten your mouse, you'll want to pair it off with a proper gaming surface. My wife, who doesn't PvP, uses a generic two button optical mouse which she bought simply "because it's pink". She did drool at SteelSeries' Iron Lady gear (also colored pink), but all the fancy tech and extra dollars would be lost on her. On the other hand, if you've splurged on a mouse for your PvP, make sure to get a mousepad that at least takes care of your mouse. At its most basic, a mousepad is easier to clean and keep clean than, say, your desk.

Blinchiki (Rolled Crepes stuffed with sweet cottage cheese)
10 eggs, beaten
4 cups milk
3 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
Dash of salt
Butter for pan
Mix all ingredients on high speed until well blended. Heat small, shallow frying pan over medium heat and coat with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan and "roll" so that batter is evenly distributed. Cook 1 minute, making sure to loosen edges with a spatula. Flip and cook on other side until just browning, about 30 seconds. Remove to plate and let cool. Repeat with rest of batter.
24 ounces cottage cheese
2 heaping tablespoons sour cream
2 T tablespoons sugar
Mix well. Place heaping tablespoon of filling in the middle of each crepe and roll up. Place rolled, filled crepes in a large baking dish and top with pats of butter. Heat in 325-degree oven until warmed through.
My suggestion - Top with fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast or desert.

Identify from public data and crowdsource the easiest routes for wheelchairs, folks with limited mobility and parents pushing strollers. This could show publicly accessible elevators and other easy routes. It could overlay or analyze topographic map data. Also good stopping/resting points could be added. Eventually this could be linked to store and restaurant accessibility apps.

I'm finishing up all of the inspiration packs so I can photograph them and post them here on decor8 in the morning along with how you can win one!
I'm also working with my designer to put the finished touches on the new decor8 – which unfortunately includes tagging over 3,000 posts and organizing a lot of content so if you wonder where I am I'm working behind on the scenes on blog-related goodies.
Back in a moment with our Get Real topic of the week…
I am signing off for the weekend so I thought I'd take a moment to wish you all fun times spent with friends and family over the next few days. Monday is our 7th year wedding anniversary so I'm taking off to enjoy every second of it but Miss Becky will still meet you here on Monday morning with her weekly Design Star Dish and I'll have a post up on the same day (early morning) at Real Simple. I'll meet you back here on decor8 Tuesday with a new week of posts and news about the inspiration pack giveaway. I'm still creating the 'inspire' packs but they are coming along just great and will be ready next week. Yay!
{updated} — I wrote August 28th below and this is totally the incorrect date. I mean JULY 28, as in TWO WEEKS! :) In other news… The new decor8 is almost ready to be revealed! To sum it up, I'm moving the blog from Blogger to WordPress, adding lots of new features, and promise that when you stop by on August 28th (possibly sooner) you will like what you see. I've listened to your opinions on past surveys and have incorporated nearly everything into the new design. I can't wait to finish this 7+ month project. Yay!
Have a wonderful weekend!
(image from flickr)
I've been writing a lot over at Haus Maus today and I wrote a piece over at Real Simple that you may be interested in. Topics include kitchen design, cute ceramics, and a few good shops that ship globally. I'll be back here to blog this afternoon so stay tuned!
This is highly dangerous news. I never thought the day would come when I could announce this on decor8… But I've been wishing for it for years now… The availability of Orla Kiely in the states, online, with reasonable shipping rates. They've just launched a brand new site for both International and US shoppers and I couldn't be happier. They have everything available. Stationery, bags, clothing, it's all there and waiting for us to pounce. They are currently adding their home collection so stay tuned for that.
I placed a bag in my shopping cart to double check shipping costs before writing this to make sure that what I'm stating is true (pinch me, it is!) and to FedEx a bag to New Hampshire was only $15. When I tried to shop them before a single bag was over 50,- pounds (nearly $100 USD!) to ship. Also, all of the prices are listed in USD. This is huge news people. I can't wait to see what they stock in their home section. I'm hoping for throws and pillows…

How to determine whether SSDs are necessary for a VDI implementation
Independent storage expert Marc Staimer discusses how you can determine whether SSDs are necessary for a VDI implementation.
We keep hearing that SSDs are ideal for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) storage, but are they necessary? Is there a way to calculate whether an SSD investment would be worthwhile?

No, SSDs are not absolutely necessary for VDI storage. The general problem with most VDI implementation projects is the total cost of ownership (TCO) to make the virtual desktop performance adequate for the users. The biggest item in that TCO is the storage.
To get adequate storage performance requires either a lot of hybrid hard disk drives (HDDs), short stroked HDDs (throws away a lot of capacity) or SSDs. SSDs are quite effective in minimizing capacity requirements and reducing VDI TCO. Depending on the VDI implementation variation (PCIe SSD in the server, SSD caching appliance, 100% SSD storage system and hybrid storage), they can also be quite cost-effective.
They're not the only options available that drastically improve VDI storage performance and reduce VDI HDD or SSD requirements. There are software VDI accelerators from Atlantis Computing, Sanbolic and Virsto. These software options have been able to increase VDI storage performance enough to reduce capacity requirements by as much as 90% while reducing I/O latency and response time.
There is a way to calculate whether an SSD investment in implementing VDI is worthwhile, and it is completely subjective. First, determine the VDI performance requirements. Then establish which SSD implementation and at what cost will meet those requirements. Subtract out the cost savings from reduced HDDs, power, cooling, infrastructure, etc. Weigh performance, growth and user satisfaction versus TCO. Make a decision.

What is it about the state of Nebraska that inspires visual artists to reach for black and white film when trying to capture the landscape? I have associated the Great Plains with black and white images ever since seeing the cover photo of Bruce Springsteen's bleak acoustic masterpiece Nebraska—a seemingly endless road receding into a cloudy horizon as seen through a busted car window. It makes intuitive sense then that director Alexander Payne would choose black and white film to capture that same territory in his Oscar-nominated film, Nebraska.
My best answer to why black and white suits Nebraska is that it has something to do with the vastness of the Great Plains. Sometimes people describe this country as 'empty' but that is not true. The Plains are filled with stuff—grass, crops, wildlife, small-towns, etc. It is just that none of these things have the sheer mass needed to challenge the immenseness of the flat, solid earth and endless sky. It is almost as if black and white film is a demonstration of humility in the face those dominating features—no splashes of color to distract our attention from what is most real.

2012 Year End Ratings

No playoffs ... and they just use your dynamic rating at year end.
What this means is that players who are bumped usually fall into two distinct categories.
1) Good players that play up .... discussed at length here
2) Good players on good playoff teams.... Because they play in the playoffs these players likely get better opponents and doing well against these good players has a more dramatic effect on their ratings. Essentially because these matches against good players occurred in the playoffs they count double which can help you more.
I think I fall into the second category ... I was good relative to my 4.0 peers within my district but I do not think I would have been bumped had I not performed well in sectionals the last two years.
Nothing against you personally, man, but wouldn't you agree that, overall, a player like you just described yourself---one who went to and did well at sectionals---would almost certainly be moving into the very top echelon of your respective level? I would think that those players who perform very strongly at the sectional level are probably playing at a level above 95% or more of all players at their level nationally. At least for that time period. If that is true, it seems sort of reasonable to me that they would be bumped up---or al least not at all unreasonable that they were.

I recommend capsaicin to everyone with arthritis hand pain. I use the oil which I dilute further with olive oil and apply topically to my hands and wrist. It smells a little strong but after it absorbs into skin, it relieves pain. I can actually do housework since I started using capsaicin.
This is a natural compound found in hot peppers and is a natural analgesic. It's great.

Expansion: Vaati's Slaves
Playing as Link:
Link goes to an area in South eastern section of Hyrule. The Wind Palace will cast a moving shadow over areas of the land as it floats around. Link Intercepts a party of Wizzrobes hauling Hylian peasant girls. After freeing them, a great fairy asks Link to go to see Venus. Venus's Castle is open. Venus says she'd love to help you with the Soleil Humans, however her resources are dedicated to keeping her Nemesis Vaati at bay.
Venus informs him she is Feuding with someone named Vaati, who is doing bad things. In exchange for stopping Vaati, Link will gain the support of Venus and the Great Fairies. As Link travels through the Wind Palace he is occusted by Wizzrobes.
Defeating the Wizzrobes allows access to Vaati's Palace.
SUB BOSS: Carock
Carock teleports around the room firing both Wizzrobe waves and Fireballs at a High rate of speed. He is only vulnerable at certain points. As in Zelda 2, Link must have the Mirror sheild ability to reflect the Wizzrobe waves back at him. When defeated Vaati will appear and offer a temporary alliance and support of Wizzrobes. His arguement is that the Human invasion on Hyrule from Soleil cannot be stopped by the Hyrulean armies alone.
Vaati: "This isn't personal, this is business. I have made my living in varying industries over the last one thousand years, and now you are coming in here and changing everything and shutting my business down. The foreign gods are winning this war, they defeated Ganondorf handily. This may sound arrogant, but I may be the last hope of keeping the Humans from Soleil from over running Hyrule. If you put aside our differences, I will gladly give you a Wizzrobe wand made by Carock , you can use it and my Wizzrobes to try and exploit a weakness in Solieyuu. It is more important than our petty differences now.
If Link accepts Vaati's offer: Venus's Castle is inaccessible to Link. Link will be given a Wizzrobe wand and be able to use his Ocarina to summon Wizzrobes.
If Link Refuses Vaati's offer:
BOSS: Vaati
Vaati consists of two phases, Normal Majin Vaati and Nightmare Vaati. his forms use his Minish cap appearances and tactics. Once defeated, Vaati's prisoners are freed by Great Fairies, Carock and one prisoner escape. Venus thanks Link and increases his sword power, Additionally. Link can summon Farires to do various tasks.
If you are playing as Corona you are not given the option to accept Vaati's proposal. Carock and Vaati will attack immediately and not stop until defeated.
Venus will give Corona a new element to his Holy Sword, Lightning. Link will just get Venus's thanks for now.
Note: If Link accepts Vaati's offer, then because Venus is not availible, the Forsaken Fortress mission cannot be accepted.
Expansion Quest: The Forsaken Fortress
Venus warns that evil forces have stolen something of her's At the edge of the lost woods, a shore facing fortress opens. Upon entering, the Player (Link or Corona) is confronted by a Chaos Fairy named Lianna. Lianna lets the player know they are not welcome here, and that she doesn't answer to Venus.
The player proceeds, and is harrassed by Keese, Darknuts, and Miniblins. Tanya the Miniblin appears. Tanya warns the player to leave the Forsaken Fortress. If the player refuses, Tanya will activate additional traps to injure or delay the player's progress. Rusher, Lark, and Begel can be sen exiting from one room to the next room to try and lure Link or Corona into traps and Darknut filled rooms.
Upon completing Tanya's traps, Tanya remarks:
Tanya: Lianna is not going to like this, not one bit. You're not taking the Yajiro Hiroji! Rusher! Lark! Bagel!
SUB BOSS: Rusher, Lark, and Bagel
Rusher runs at the player charging with his pitchfork, as if he has sprint shoes. Lark spends time avoiding Link/Corona's attacks, and attempts to attack the player from the side. Bagel does backflips and attempts to stab downward. If Rusher is deafeated before Bagel and and Lark are, Bagel will start poking his pitch fork in a sandy area in the room and draw the ire of a Lanmoa. The Lanmoa will provide additional distraction. For every Lanmoa defeated, Bagel will poke sand and summon another Lanmoa. Bagel is weak against Inferno the Lion's Fire power if Corona, the fire rod if Link. Lark is weak against the Lightning power obtained from Vaati's Mission.
If you are playing as Corona, Rusher is weak to the Chilly's Ice power, if you are playing as Link, the ice rod does the same thing. upon being defeated, Tanya and her squad retreat to their second line of defense. Lianna expresses her dissapointment in the Miniblins. She says she will be waiting for you in her Fairy Kaifuku. Tanya and her Miniblins continue to be obstructionists, Feesh, Jo, and Teacup activate machines and other defenses the fortress has, (the player can overhear their dialogue one room away to get an idea what's coming.
Teacup activates Bolder traps, Jo will attempt to use sliding spike traps she controls with levers to drive Link or Corona into pits. Feesh will bait wall and floor masters to come after Link. Defeating each Miniblin will result in the traps they are controlling to stop functioning.
Tanya steps in and decides to take on the hero one on one.
"Nyeh! Can't let you go any further! Da Dink! You killed three of my Squad! You didn't have to kill my squad mates and you did! So I'm gonna kill you!" threatens Tanya. "If ya wanted to live ya should have turned back and worried about the Humans when I gave you the chance!"
BOSS: Tanya
Tanya seems to be able to dissappear in a puff of smoke and re-appear elsewhere in the room. She also has an area of effect attack where she strikes the ground with her pitch fork and a shockwave radiates from where she struck. She will also charge at you with her Pitch fork, and attempt to avoid sword swings with backflips.
Upon being defeated Lianna appears and transports Link or Corona to her Kaifuku:
(If Link): I was quite fond of Tanya, I'm upset she's gone. You barge in my home uninvited on Venus's orders and attempt to take my property. Is all you know how to do follow orders? You are making a mistake, Venus has been seduced by Solieyuu. I rebelled against her, and found Vaati much more reflects my beliefs and ideology. Don't betray our world just because you disagree with the choice I made not to follow Venus!
(If Corona): I was quite fond of Tanya, I'm upset she's gone. You barge in my home uninvited on Solieyuu's orders and attempt to take my property. Is all you know how to do follow orders? Your gods stand in opposition to my way of life, I can't allow the progression of this invasion into my world. Perish!
BOSS: Lianna the Chaos Fairy
Lianna's Kaifuku has a blood red fountain to it. Contrast with a normal Great Fairy Kaifuku, the walls are dark, and twisted. It also appears to have firey cracks in the floor. Lianna can cause tiles of the floor to collapse and cause Link or Corona to fall into the blood red substance and take damage. Corona can jump clear, while Link needs to either avoid the square, or use his hookshot.
Lianna can summon Anti-Faeries and Bubbles to neutralize Corona's elemental magic, and Link's sword. She also summons water serpents/Ropes that act as projectiles. If you are Link, Din appears and reclaims the Yajiro Hiroji. If you are Corona, Fortuna appears instead.
Venus will offer Link the Roc's Feather permitted Link to jump.

Our experienced physicians perform nearly 10,000 surgeries each year. Today, a growing number of these procedures are being conducted on an outpatient basis. Surgeries that once required days of recovery are now being performed through laser and endoscopic techniques -- minimizing potential for scarring and reducing the patient's recovery time. Complicated orthopedic procedures, such as total knee and hip replacements, are also performed on a regular basis. In addition, our orthopaedic surgeons are skilled in joint replacements, spinal surgery, carpal tunnel, and sports medicine. Surgery centers at both hospitals are equipped with the latest innovations in technology -- ensuring patients in Southern Illinois have access to the most advanced treatment, while staying close to home.
We pre-register all scheduled surgical patients so the paperwork is complete, reducing any delays on the day of the surgery. Otherwise, a staff person from our surgical department will call you directly to complete the pre-registration.
Good Samaritan Regional Health Center is the first hospital in Southern Illinois to offer the state-of-the-art robotic surgical technology to patients.
"We are excited to offer this technology at Good Samaritan Regional Health Center," said Phil Gustafson, CEO of St. Mary's Good Samaritan. "Acquiring this type of technology as well as the construction of the new Good Samaritan Regional Health Center shows that we truly are raising the bar for healthcare in southern Illinois."
The robotic system, called the da Vinci Surgical System, is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to enable complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach. Da Vinci Surgical System seamlessly translates the surgeon's hand movements into more precise movements of the surgical instruments.
For most patients, the benefits of a da Vinci surgery is remarkable and include less pain, less blood loss, reduced need for blood transfusion and less risk of infection. Moreover, the da Vinci System can enable a shorter hospital stay, a quicker recovery and faster return to normal daily activities for patients. Studies also suggest that the da Vinci may help surgeons provide better clinical outcomes than conventional technologies allow - for example, a Hysterectomy using the da Vinci Surgical System may result in smaller incisions, minimal pain and a low rate of complications.
Offering this type of surgery also allows patients to stay in the region for state-of-the-art procedures that would often require the patient to travel out of state.
"Currently patients are leaving the area for this type of procedure, which means being away from their family, incurring hotel / travel cost and lost work time," said Mike Warren, President of Good Samaritan Regional Health Center. "Now the patients we serve have the option to stay right here for state-of-the-art robotic surgery."
· One in three women in the U.S. will have a hysterectomy before she turns 60. Common conditions that result in hysterectomy - endometriosis to uterine fibroids, - heavy menstrual bleeding to cancer - can now be treated effectively without a big incision with da Vinci hysterectomy- Requires only a few small incisions, so patients can get back to life faster - days rather than the usual weeks required with traditional surgery.
·Da Vinci Surgery enables numerous potential benefits over traditional open surgery, including: - Significantly less pain- Minimal blood loss and need for transfusion- Fewer complications - Shorter hospital stay- Quicker recovery and return to normal activities- Small incisions for minimal scarring - Better outcomes and patient satisfaction, in many cases
Comparing Robotic Assisted Hysterectomy to Open Abdominal Hysterectomy Incision Size - Robot - 4 dime sized incisions - Open – 1 incision at least 8-10 inches Average hospital stay - Robot – 1 night - Open 3 daysRecovery Time- Robot – less than two weeks - Open – 6-8 weeks and then restricted activityComplications - Robot – 2% - Open - 17%
Cleared by the FDA in 2005, surgeons have performed more than 100,000 da Vinci Hysterectomies.

A Citywide Celebration Sanford touts its new incorporation
Thursday, July 25, 2013
SANFORD — Anyone looking for a sign of the times can check out the front lawn of the Sanford City Hall.
At last Thursday's ceremony, Mayor Maura Herlihy called the voters' decision to make Sanford a city a brave and historic one. She said the charter commission that had recommended the new incorporation viewed the change as a "critical component of how our community needed to move into the future."
"They recognized the economic importance of being listed with places such as Saco, Biddeford, Portland, Lewiston and, yes, even the small community of Eastport," Herlihy told the gathering. "We have the same strength of infrastructure, the same diversity of people, the same strengths and, yes, the same challenges."
State Sen. John Tuttle, joined by State Rep. William Noon, read aloud a legislative joint resolution that provided an overview of Sanford's winding history from 1661 to today. In 1661, Major William Phillips, who owned mills in Saco, purchased land that first became known as Phillipstown and, eventually, Sanford. The first settlement in the area was established in 1739. More than 30 years later — on Feb. 27, 1768, to be exact — the settlement was incorporated as the Town of Sanford. The town got its name from Peleg Sanford, Major Phillips' son.
Across from City Hall, Goodall Hospital celebrated its eighty-fifth anniversary as Sanford's primary-care provider and largest employer during a special barbecue for the public in Central Park. Patsy Aprile, the president and CEO of the hospital, took a moment from getting ready for the barbecue to attend the City Hall dedication.
Last Thursday's "Celebrate Sanford Day" also featured two guest panels at City Hall that focused on mill redevelopment. As well, Strategies for a Stronger Sanford hosted a buffet and presentation about local efforts to reinvent education for Sanford's students in the twenty-first century.

I have in me Mizuno Ti-110 and I have read it's the first Titanium Driver ever made.Am I lucky?.Yes sure I am.
- The club face controls ball flight (and your swing, too)Posted 1 hour ago
- Do you have a swing flaw or an idiosyncrasy?Posted 2 hours ago
Mizuno MP-600 Driver Review
Mizuno has long been known as one of the better iron manufacturers in the world. They are also innovators in the industry they have been a major part of.
There are a few little known facts about the manufacturer that include being the first company to offer a mobile workshop for the PGA Tour in 1984, and they were also the first company in the world to launch a titanium driver, the Mizuno Pro Ti-110/120. Although Mizuno offers many selections in the game improvement arena, they are known for their equipment in the low handicap area of the market. Their forged irons have been played on all of the tours and have won many majors and even more golf championships.
Their latest offering in the driver market is the MP-600 driver with Fast Track technology. Is this just another driver geared toward the better player or is it a driver that can benefit both the better player and the high handicapper? How does it compare with the other offerings that are currently out in the market right now?
The MP-600 with Fast Track technology is teeming with up to date modern advances. The CNC milled, plasma welded CORTECH™ face insert will deliver the maximum USGA allowable ball speed across the entire area of the face for explosive distance, according to Mizuno. The size of the club head is 460cc, the largest allowable volume by the USGA. This driver also possesses the classic, traditional head shape which is rare in comparison to some of the other high tech drivers that are out in the market today.
The Fast Track technology has to be the coolest feature of this driver. This 460cc Titanium driver will allow players to quickly tweak their ball flight through the use of the revolutionary Fast Track. It has two adjustable eight gram weights that the player can easily move into 15 ball flight settings to fine tune the center of gravity and achieve their ideal ball flight and shape, for maximum control. This is a twist to the moveable weight technology that is offered by other manufacturers and allows for easier and faster movement of the weight around the perimeter of the golf club.
The stock shaft that is offered with the driver is the Exsar DS3 Driver shaft. It is only offered in stiff, regular, lite, and ladies. There are custom shaft options available and they include Fujikura Fit on 360, Aldila NV and NVS, Graffalloy Pro Launch Blue and Red, UST Proforce V2, Harrison Mugen, and the Tava for the ladies. Despite not being the largest selection offered by a manufacturer today, it covers most of the neccesary bases.
The driver is offered in three lofts, 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5. It is not offered in a left handed version.
Mizuno has had a history of making aesthetically pleasing golf clubs, and this one is certainly no different. The classic shape of this driver is visually appealing to the discerning golfer. If you appreciate the look of a traditional driver this will be one driver that you should try. At address it sets very square and tall. The face is normal height but appears to be deeper than it actually is. This is a classic, traditional, good looking golf club at address, something that you would come to expect from a company like Mizuno.
The deep black paint on the driver goes perfectly with the traditional shape of the head. The omission of an alignment aide was a plus for me. Just a clean, classic looking head, that sits perfectly behind the golf ball.
The driver that I received to test was the 9.5 version with the stock Exsar DS3, stiff flex shaft. The shaft weighed in at 59 grams, and had a torque rating of 3.7. This is a mid flight shaft. I was actually quite surprised by this shaft, as it performed better than expected. I am leery about some of the stock shaft offerings from manufacturers, as sometimes they are not exactly what they advertise to be. But this one felt right on. Was not overly stiff, yet not to whippy either. Just a nice comfortable flex, that if need be I could go after on and not feel like the shaft would over-flex and I was going to snipe hook it.
The sound of the driver was great. Unlike many of the offerings today, this driver does not sound like an aluminum baseball bat; it has a more muted sound to it. It took me a few balls to get used to it, as my current driver is quite loud, and ear piercing at times.
Distance from this driver was impressive. The ball flight with this set up was mid to high with fairly low spin. So I was getting a great launch angle, with a good spin rate, and apparently (according to most fitters) this is an ideal combination for maximum distance. Even on the miss hits I had, the results were very good and fairly good distance wise. I would say that it is on par with most of the better drivers on the market today with regard to the potential distance of the driver.
After changing the weights on the fast track to get my desired set up and preferred ball shape, I then started to mess around with the settings to see if I could create some different ball flights and such. This was actually the fun part of the review as I got to mess around a little bit and try and hit some different shots. This did manipulate the spin of the ball a little bit and if you are looking for a driver that will allow you to fine tune your spin rate or desired shot shape, this could be one to check out.
Should you buy this driver or not? That is not really for me to tell you, all I can do is give you my opinion on the driver and hope that helps or answers some of the questions you might have had about it.
If was going to purchase a new driver, this driver would be on, or right near the top of my list. It accomplishes everything that I look for in a driver. It has the adjustability aspect, great distance, appearance, and quality, that as a former professional, I expect from my current golf clubs. This is a forgiving driver, but definitely is a better player's driver, in my opinion. I am not sure that a higher handicap player would reap the benefits of a driver like this. But if you are a mid to low handicap golfer looking for a quality driver at a reasonable price, this might be the ticket.
11 Comments
It's helpful when reviewers and especially commenters mention their SS and/or typical driving distance, along with the shaft they choose. I know that custom fitting is ideal, but for most of us it's nice to know what shaft MIGHT work better for us. Thanks.
Just got back from the range with the new 10.5. Perfect ball flight for me and very easy to hit. I like the set up and the sound.
I received my 10.5 today and will be at the range tomorrow. I have hit the 9.5, so I will report on the 10.5 and see how they compare.
I think you will be very pleased with your purchase. Very solid driver.
Hit this club today and was very impressed. Great look, sound, and control. I moved the weights and it did have a significant impact on ball flight. I'm buying this one.
i've just brought this club and its a fantastic club
Also thanks for the review, it is very helpful
I thought that the stock shaft was the Fit-On 360
In comparing this driver to other drivers in the similar market, such as the superquad, I feel that it is on par if not better than those drivers. The spin rate was better for me with the MP-600 than the superquad, and the TP460. Very similar spin rates to my tour issued TP 425 that was made for me by the Tour Dept. at TM. So in seeing that the MP-600 is basically off the rack, to have similar spin rates is outstanding.
This driver is geared toward the lower to mid handicap player. It is not a forgiving high MOI driver like the sumo sqaured or the Titleist D1. Those drivers are geared toward the higher handicap player and are much easier to hit and gain better performance results than the MP-600. I am not saying that no high handicapper will enjoy this driver, all I was saying is that they could be better off with something that is designed to help a non-repetitive swing and off center hits (which is what alot of the square and high MOI drivers are aimed at doing).
The weight system is good and one of the neat things about the driver. IF you are looking for the 8 gram weights to massively change your ballflight it is not going to happen. But if you want to slightly modify some spin (reduce a hook, enhance a slight fade…etc.) then they will help. These weights will not dramatically change the ballflight, which is true for most all of the moveable weight technology drivers.
Hope that helps……
Nice review, I only wish you could have compared it to something else…. anything like perhaps a superquad which is aimed at a similar market.
One thing I like about this driver that I don't think you mentioned is the standard shaft length! In an age where OEM's are pushing harder to handle, longer shafts, this one is the standard 45″, is it not?
I'm curious for what reasons did you find the club to not be a higher handicapper's type of driver. Do the weights not compensate well for a slicer? Or is it simply punishing on misshits?
Also I've heard the weighting system might be too insignificant to truly adjust ball flight. You mentioned 'spin' adjustments, but did -you- find the weighting system move your ball from draw to fade adequately?
Thanks again for the review.

Australia's economy slowed last quarter on weaker housing and rising imports, sending the local currency lower as traders bet the central bank will resume interest-rate cuts to prolong a 21-year expansion.
Second-quarter gross domestic product advanced 0.6 percent from the previous three months, when it rose a revised 1.4 percent, a Bureau of Statistics report released in Sydney today showed. The median of 26 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey of economists was for a 0.7 percent gain. From a year earlier, the economy expanded 3.7 percent, the strongest annual pace since 2007 after the revised 4.4 percent growth in the first quarter.
The report showed the fastest first-half expansion in five years before companies including BHP Billiton Ltd. scaled back mining projects this quarter in response to lower prices of iron ore, the nation's most valuable export. Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens cut rates in May and June to buttress consumption as an elevated currency extended a slump in manufacturing and services.
"Today's figures will not change the fact that the RBA has a bias to ease monetary policy further," said Justin Fabo, senior economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Sydney. ANZ Bank predicts the overnight cash-rate target will be lowered by November and again in early 2013, he said.
Government spending rose 1.6 percent in the second quarter, adding 0.3 percentage point to GDP growth, and household consumption advanced 0.6 percent last quarter, also adding 0.3 point to the expansion, today's report showed.
Housing Slump
Dwellings decreased 1.7 percent, subtracting 0.1 point from growth, the report showed. Imports gained 0.9 percent, subtracting 0.2 point from the expansion. Inventories subtracted 0.3 point from growth.
The local currency touched $1.0190, the lowest since July 25, and bought $1.0218 at 1:26 p.m. Sydney time compared with $1.0225 late yesterday in New York. Asian stocks fell for a fifth day, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropping 0.9 percent at 12:27 p.m. in Tokyo.
Traders are pricing in about a 70 percent chance the RBA will lower the benchmark rate by a quarter percentage point to 3.25 percent at its meeting next month, swaps data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Resource investment to meet Chinese demand and foreign investment funds seeking a haven have spurred gains in the currency, which closed above parity with the U.S. dollar for all but 23 days this year. The Aussie has averaged $1.0246 in the past two years, compared with 72 U.S. cents in the prior decade.
Dollar's Decline
Mounting signs of a slowdown in China's economy have spurred a 3.4 percent drop in the Aussie over the past month against its U.S. counterpart, the worst performer among major currencies tracked by Bloomberg. A quarter of Australia's exports, or about 5 percent of GDP, goes to the world's second-largest economy, and 60 percent of those shipments are iron ore.
"Australian economy grew faster than every single major advanced economy both in the June quarter and over the year to June, and has successfully completed a stunning 21 consecutive years of economic growth -- a feat not matched by any other advanced economy over this period," Treasurer Wayne Swan said in a statement after the release.
The nation's household savings ratio rose to 9.2 percent in the three months through June from a revised 8.9 percent in the first quarter, today's report showed.
RBA's Pause
The RBA yesterday held its benchmark interest rate at 3.5 percent for a third straight meeting, citing "quite firm" consumption in the first half, commodity prices that have fallen "sharply" in recent months and a more uncertain outlook for China's growth.
Central banks in the Asia-Pacific region are straddling between containing inflation and shielding their economies from the worsening global outlook.
Reports today showed emerging inflation pressure elsewhere in the region. Taiwan's price gains accelerated to the fastest pace in four years in August, while Philippine inflation quickened to a seven-month high.
Thailand's central bank will probably hold its benchmark rate at 3 percent today, refraining from cutting borrowing costs even as inflation eased in August, according to 18 of 21 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
Meanwhile, European retail sales probably fell 0.2 percent in July from June, when they rose 0.2 percent, according to a Bloomberg survey. Poland will probably keep its benchmark interest rate at 4.75 percent, another survey showed. Services purchasing managers' indexes are due in economies including France and Germany.
Australia's Risks
In Australia, data since midyear have indicated that the economy may grow more slowly than it did in the first half.
A government report two days ago showed retail sales fell 0.8 percent in July from a month earlier, the steepest drop since October 2010. Consumer confidence in August declined by the most in five months, according to a Westpac Banking Corp. and Melbourne Institute index.
BHP, the world's biggest miner, last month decided to delay approval of an estimated $33 billion expansion of the Olympic Dam copper, uranium and gold mine. Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. (FMG), Australia's biggest iron ore producer after Rio Tinto Group and BHP, said yesterday it's cutting its full-year capital spending forecast by 26 percent to $4.6 billion.
Billionaire Gina Rinehart said high costs and higher risks may see mining companies abandon iron-ore operations in Australia, where she's amassed a fortune estimated at $19.3 billion from the steel-making material.
"Australia is indeed becoming too expensive and too uncompetitive to do export-orientated business," Rinehart, Asia's richest woman, said in a video presentation. "We are becoming a high-cost and high-risk nation for investment."

text: School districts around the state are being paid back half of Minnesota's $2.4-billion in overdue state aid payments beginning today (FRI). The payments were delayed as part of the budget deal that ended the state government shutdown in 2011, but Education Minnesota President Tom Dooher says that the deal caused some tight budgets for schools in the state. He says it isn't new money that's being given to schools, and it won't help schools' decade of under-funding, but it will help districts plan more predictably. Governor Dayton has pledged not to rely on the same tactic again for the coming biennium, saying he doesn't want to use one-time shifts or borrowing gimmicks used in the past to balance the state's budget.

Jobless, Cities Could Be First To Feel Budget Pain
"They want to make sure the American public knows this sequester is a bad thing, but they also don't want to disrupt the economy too much," he said. "It's not that the reductions won't take place. But they could delay the impact of that until later in the year."
Administration officials also say the Treasury Department is prepared to begin reducing subsidies that cover interest payments by state and local governments on public works, school and renewable energy projects. That means those governments will have to find money in their budgets to make up the difference in bond interest payments, and while that might not affect projects already under way, it could delay new construction efforts.
The sequester, says Douglas Rice of the Center on Budget and Policy priorities, also would mean that families that leave subsidized housing would be less likely to be replaced with people from waiting lists, and that eventually some families could lose their apartments.
Many federal programs, like heating aid for the poor, already have many more people seeking assistance than the program budgets can cover. Funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, for instance, has fluctuated greatly in recent years, with the administration proposing to cut it by 13 percent this year. In such cases, it may be impossible for people denied aid to know whether it's because of the sequester since they might have been denied help anyway.In some instances the cuts will be felt not by beneficiaries being thrown out of programs but by longer delays to get help. In the case of subsidized housing, for example, there are already long waits for assistance in most of the country. In the case of the Women, Infants and Children program for low-income pregnant women and their children, the government has generally tried to make sure that every eligible woman can get food aid. States aren't permitted to cut the food benefit, which means fewer people will be served. The Agriculture Department says it will prioritize things so that pregnant women and nursing mothers keep their aid but post-partum women who do not breastfeed could lose their aid.
