WADDINGTON - Anglers will descend upon Waddington this weekend for the annual St. Lawrence River Walleye Associations annual Northern Pike Challenge.
Last years tournament included 849 participants and this year Association President Michael Gagner said theyre hoping for 1,000.
The last two years in a row we have had the worst storm of the year that day and I think it had deterred some people south of us from making the trip up, he said. This year, this is the best ice weve had in a long time. We should have a good turnout.
Registration for the tournament will begin at 3 a.m. at the Louisville Fire Hall on state Route 37 and continue until 7 a.m. when the tournament begins. Tournament sites include Coles Creek, Brandy Brook, Fobares Pond and Wilson Hill.
While many tournaments assign anglers a location or hold lotteries to determine fishing sites, Mr. Gagner said participants in the Northern Pike Challenge can fish at any of the sites they choose. Registration for those fishing in the adult division is $35, with a special price of $10 available for youth division entrants 15 and under.
All youths will receive a prize upon registration, he said, adding the youth division also features 100 percent payback.
Adult entrants will be taking their shot at nearly $20,000 in cash and prizes with $1,000 awarded each hour for the top three fish during that hour. A $100 cash prize will also be awarded to the angler catching the largest walleye of the day and the largest pike of the day. Mountings for those fish have been donated by Three Rivers Taxidermy and Natures Trophies.
On top of all of that the tournament will also include nearly $15,000 in door prizes, with two cash prizes of $2,500 and a wacky hat contest among the offerings.
Anyone, except for youth entrants has a chance at those if they catch any fish or not, Mr. Gagner said.
Door prizes, as well as the tournaments other prizes will be awarded at Sandy Beach at 4 p.m.
Other sponsors for the tournament include Budweiser, Subway and FISHCAP.

More Mass hikes: NH Advantage gets a bit stronger
To prevent MBTA fare hikes this year (next year, who knows?), Bay State legislators passed an $800 million transportation bill that would raise taxes by $500 million. The bill raises the cigarette tax by $1 per pack and the gasoline tax by three cents per gallon. It also applies the state sales tax to computer software services. Gov. Deval Patrick previously vetoed the bill — because it did not raise taxes enough!
The New Hampshire Advantage has just been made a little stronger. Thanks, Massachusetts.

More Evidence That Science is Still Clueless About Global Climate Controls
Levi Beckerson

For all we know, Al Bundy's socks may be the cure for the global climate crisis.
Will the war for global warming ever be won? That depends on the amount of information we can harvest, analyze and extrapolate from. In all likelihood, the only way we will know for certain if the Earth is heading for a global warming disaster is by waiting another few thousand years and looking at history books.
But, for those not comfortable with the wait and see approach, scientists continue to plunge into one of the crucial factors thought to govern global (I'm trying not to snicker) climate change, the global carbon sink system. Roughly composed of just about every living and even more dead things, these parts of local, regional and whole-Earth ecosystems are under high scrutiny as researchers try to understand how present day climate change will further affect future climate change. The popular idea seems to be that global warming is like a snowball rolling downhill – as it rolls it picks up more snow and eventually hits something and explodes. Exploding is bad for the Earth, honest.
From the University of Colorado at Boulder comes a study supporting the theory that extended growing seasons may not be the boon for the carbon sink that many have previously thought. At least not for subalpine conifers such as the lodgepole pine, subalpine fir and Englemann spruce. It turns out these trees depend much more upon snowmelt for their summer water fix than rainfall, and in years where spring comes early due to mild winters and low snowfall,
the trees actually take in less carbon dioxide
over the year than when spring arrives late with heavy snow still on the ground. Up to 60% of their internal water supply from stems and needles was identified to be from spring snowmelt rather than rainfall in the fall months. We can thank our friends the hydrogen and oxygen atoms for this precise identification work.
Since around 70% of the western USA's carbon sink is found in these subalpine forest ranges, watching the snow caps shrink yearly would definitely affect their ability to operate to capacity, should this study be accurate. Facts don't lie; snow good, carbon dioxide bad.
On a somewhat brighter note, according to researchers at the National Oceanographic Center, Southampton, another very large and poorly understood carbon sink may be completely underestimated in present carbon cycle models. Echinoderms, which comprise a vast portion of the ocean's calcium carbonate dump,
may sequester much more carbon yearly than previously thought
Echinoderms suck in carbon from seawater to form their skeletal systems and include such happy marine animals as star fish, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. When these animals find the end of their lifecycle, they typically sink to the ocean floor with their captured carbon and become indefinitely buried in the sediments. Some of the calcium carbonate finds its way back up the "biological carbon pump," but probably much less than is taken down to the depths.
This could mean that the ocean is once again showing itself to be far more excellent at helping regulate global carbon levels, or it could just mean scientists still don't really understand what's going on in there.
If these studies only prove one thing it is that we, as a global community, race, organism and observer still have very little understanding in the way all of our ecosystems work together to regulate the Earth's climate. It's far too early for any sane person to jump on the "we're melting, melting" or "Minnesota never left the ice age, what's your problem" camps. There simply aren't enough data to concretely support any given theory with certainty and these kinds of discoveries are shining examples of why.

RE: The World is Too Big
There is energy, then there is energy.
Solar energy currently costs more energy to produce, than it will produce in its own lifetime.
Wind energy also is the same.
While advancements happen, we do not subsidize the good advancements, we subsidize the bad advancements.
This is because subsidies are done by politicians, who get paid in cash for campaigns. These politicians then subsidize those who helped them. Subsidies are wrong entirely. Only investment should be allowed.

Mexican 'Ape Woman' buried after 150 years
Rare genetic condition covered Julia Pastrana's face in thick hair
A Mexican woman, who was known as the "ape woman" because of a rare genetic condition that covered her face in thick hair, was buried in her home state on Tuesday, reports the Associated Press. The ceremony ends one of the best-known episodes from an era when human bodies were treated as collectible specimens.
Julia Pastrana had a hairy face and body, jutting jaw and other deformities when she left the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa in 1854. She was taken around the United States by showman Theodore Lent where she sang and danced for paying audiences, according to a Norwegian commission that studied her case.
She developed a fever related to complications from childbirth, and died along with her baby in 1860 in Moscow. Her remains ended up at the University of Oslo, Norway. After government and private requests to return her body, the university shipped her remains to the state of Sinaloa, where they were finally laid to rest.
"Julia Pastrana has come home," said Saul Rubio Ayala, mayor of her hometown of Sinaloa de Leyva. "Julia has been reborn among us. Let us never see another woman be turned into an object of commerce."
Mexican Ambassador Martha Barcena Coqui formally received Pastrana's coffin at a Feb. 7 ceremony at Oslo University Hospital in the Norwegian capital before the coffin was flown to Mexico.
"You know I have mixed feelings," the ambassador said. "In one way, I think she had a very interesting life and maybe she enjoyed visiting and traveling and seeing all the places, but at the same time I think it must have been very sad to travel to these places not as a normal human being but as a matter of exhibition, as something weird to be talked about."
Hundreds of thousands of remains have left cultural institutions in the U.S., Europe and Australia since the repatriation movement began in the late 1980s.

The Ram 1500 already offered truck buyers a whole host of reasons to consider it, with powerful Hemi V8 availability, coilover rear suspension and innovative storage solutions. With some very effective upgrades in key areas -- namely increased chassis strength, improved base engine power as well as diesel efficiency and more intuitive interior ergonomics. The Ram raises the bar for full-size trucks.
Compare the 2015 Ram 1500 against similar models
For 2015, the Ram 1500 receives no substantial changes.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2015 Ram 1500. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2015 Ram 1500. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Ram 1500 pickup serves the half-ton pickup truck market, among the most contested in all motor vehicles. Permutations are numerous with three engines, two fuels, three cabs, two types of suspension, three bed sizes and almost all of them available in 2WD or 4WD.
The 2015 Ram 1500 is changed little over 2014 when Ram got a diesel engine and some styling details.
Ram's 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel is shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and in the Ram 1500 garners EPA ratings of 20/28 mpg City/Highway, higher than any other half-ton or mid-size pickup.
Gasoline engines include a 305-hp 3.6-liter V6 and a 395-hp 5.7-liter V8 Hemi. Ram V6 (gas and diesel) use an 8-speed automatic transmission, the V8 uses a 6-speed or an 8-speed automatic. Unlike the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, Ram offers its biggest engine in Regular Cab models.
The Ram 1500, considered a half-ton, can carry loads of stuff and can tow trailers similar to what the competition will, though GM and Ford have notably higher maximum trailer-weight models. Maximum load and tow ratings among the major manufacturers change faster than mobile-device operating systems. However, if you plan to tow near those maximums, our recommendation is to turn your attention to the Ram Heavy Duty and its competitors.
The Ram 1500 offers a full air suspension, with automatic leveling, entry/exit mode for easier cab access, and variable ride heights for on- and off-highway travel.
On the outside, Ram continues with its imposing stature. Like many Dodge cars, the Ram's front end has a forward tilt, but it remains aerodynamic. Detailing for the 2013 model year lowered the coefficient of drag (one aspect of total aerodynamic resistance) from 0.386 to 0.360, and both the diesel and HFE use grille shutters.
Ram competes primarily with Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and, to a lesser extent, Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra.
The Ram 1500 is a conventional full-size pickup truck, but it differs in rear suspension and powertrains from its competitors. Underneath, where for decades pickup trucks have had a live axle in back with leaf springs, Ram's rear axle is suspended by coil springs and located by four trailing links and a lateral Panhard bar. Basic front suspension design, steering and brake systems parallel other half-ton pickups.
Inside, the Ram offers seating for three to six people, in-floor storage on Crew Cabs, and environments that span working-grade vinyl and rubber to creamy leather with ventilated and heated seats.
Brand loyalty in pickup trucks makes sports rivalries look like civilized debate, and many will recommend only one. The fact is, there are no bad full-size pickups. Shopping is made more difficult by so-called competitive comparisons we've seen online that imply drum brakes are better than disc brakes (we disagree) or 300 horsepower is superior to 400 pound-feet of torque (ditto). To choose the best truck for you, we recommend avoiding any buying decision made purely on brand or maximum cargo or tow rating. On the other hand, if you are loyal to a brand then focus on choosing the configuration knowing you'll end up with a great truck.
With so many versions there is no shortage of Rams to choose from. Compared to the competition, the Ram's suspensions are unique and the styling is less conservative. GM has three gas engines and Ford half-tons offer four but none has a diesel and only the GM 6.2 V8 has an 8-speed automatic. The Nissan Titan is the only half-ton that offers a full eight-foot long-bed with a Crew Cab, and Titan is being redesigned for 2016. (Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 pickups are covered in a separate review.)
The 2015 Ram comes in Tradesman, Express, SLT, Big Horn, Lone Star, Sport, Outdoorsman, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn and Laramie Limited trim levels. Some of these, such as Big Horn and Lone Star, are primarily cosmetic and packaging and available only in certain regions. Cab choices include a Regular Cab with short (6.3 feet) or long (8 feet) bed, four-door Quad Cab with short bed (6.3 feet), and the Crew Cab with a short bed (5.6 feet) or long bed (6.3 feet). Note Ram terminology can be confusing: Some long and short beds are the same length, depending on cab, so shop by tape measure, not Ram's labels.
Ram Tradesman, SLT, Sport, Outdoorsman, Big Horn and Lone Star are available in all body styles; all others are restricted to certain cabs. Prices are MSRP for the least-expensive of that trim level, not including options. For rough calculation add $3200-$3800 for 4WD, $300 for a longer bed, $3500-$4000 from Regular to Quad Cab and $2000-$3000 from Quad to Crew Cab.
Ram Tradesman ($25,060) models come with the gas V6 and 8-speed automatic; a 6-speed automatic is available as credit-delete option. Gas V8 and diesel engines are offered, the long-bed regular cab the least-expensive diesel choice. Tradesman models are workhorses with standard vinyl floor, manual windows and gray vinyl 40/20/40 bench seat. However, they do include air conditioning, stability/trailer sway control, tilt wheel, cruise control, trailer hitch, variable intermittent wipers, locking lift-assist tailgate, spray-in bedliner, trailer plugs, 6-speaker AM/FM stereo and USB port, power windows and door locks on four-doors, and under-floor storage (Crew Cab). Options include chrome wheels and trim, fog lamps, bed cover, Uconnect 5.0 with Bluetooth, CD player, backup camera, sliding rear window, power and trailer mirrors, carpeting, cloth seats, block heater, 32-gallon fuel tank and air suspension.
Ram Express ($26,195) models, available in all cab styles, come with the V8 and 6-speed automatic, and add visual cues such as 20×8-inch wheels, body-color trim, dual rear exhaust and fog lamps; interiors get carpeting and floor mats.
Ram SLT trim ($29,685) is mainstream, with cloth upholstery, power windows/locks/mirrors, dual gloveboxes and so on. SLT offers the widest array of options, if not the ultra-lux features of a Laramie Limited.
Ram Big Horn and Ram Lone Star ($30,590) add more powertrain and mirror choices and on-demand 4WD, chrome grille, 20×8-inch wheels, 115-VAC outlet, upgraded cloth upholstery with power driver 40/20/40 seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear floor storage bins (Crew Cab), power sliding rear window (on four-doors), Uconnect 5.0 with Bluetooth, and many more option packages.
Ram Sport ($35,105) includes the 5.7-liter Hemi and 8-speed automatic, high-back bucket seats, body-color bumpers and mirrors, fog lamps, LED interior lighting, power adjustable pedals, audio system upgrade, rearview camera, projector headlamps in black housings, 20×9-inch wheels and most convenience features of Outdoorsman and Big Horn/Lone Star. The Sport R/T Regular Cab 2WD short bed gets a 3.92:1 rear axle with limited-slip differential, sport hood, and 285/45R22 tires on forged aluminum wheels but will still tow 4900 pounds.
Ram Outdoorsman ($38,180) adds a 32-gallon gas tank, smaller front air dam, gray painted bumpers and fender flares, auto-dimming inside and power heated outside mirrors with signals, two-tone paint, limited-slip differential with 3.92:1 axle ratio, skid plates on 4WD, LT265/70R17E all-terrain tires on painted aluminum wheels, tow hooks, 7-inch TFT configurable screen, rubber floor mats, illuminated visor mirrors, 8.4-inch Uconnect Access via Mobile, and remote start.
Ram Laramie ($39,025) is four-door only and comes with leather heated and ventilated 40/20/40 power front seats, vinyl trimmed 60/40 folding rear seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, driver memory system (driver seat, mirrors, pedals, radio presets), chrome grille and mirrors, LED rear and door lighting, two-tone paint, woodgrain trim, heated steering wheel and 10-speaker sound system.
Laramie Longhorn ($46,935) builds on Laramie with French-stitched leather high-back bucket seats, ash wood trim, leather trimmed console and heated rear seats, wood-and-leather steering wheel, SiriusXM with Travel Link and HD radio, navigation, front and rear park sensors, unique instrument graphics, tow hooks, 20×9 polished/white gold wheels, white gold painted bumpers and chrome mesh grille.
Laramie Limited ($49,430) gets black Natura Plus leather bucket seats with contrast-stitching and Ram embroidery, premium leather 60/40 folding rear seat, air suspension, leather wrapped assist handles, rain-sensing wipers, smartbeam headlamps, keyless entry/start, leather trimmed dash and door panels, argento wood trim, unique instrument graphics and satin carbon wheels with chrome accents, body-color bumpers and wheel-to-wheel side steps.
Options vary by trim but there are plenty of choices. Among the 1500 line: 8 grilles, 8 exterior mirrors, 12 single-color paints, 13 wheels, and 11 seat/upholstery arrangements. Where not standard, a spray-in bedliner, trailer hitch, trailer brake control, side steps, power trailer towing mirrors, smoker's package, limited-slip differential, sliding rear window, CD player and engine block heater are available; a moonroof is offered for any four-door Big Horn/Lone Star and higher.
Safety features include dual front multi-stage, side impact and side curtain airbags, three-point belts in all seating positions, LATCH child-seat anchors, child-protection rear door locks, electronic stability control and traction control and four-wheel anti-lock brakes. A rearview camera, rear park sensors and 911 Direct are optional.
Everything on the Ram looks big, yet the truck takes up no more real estate than its competitors. The illusion comes from the shape and the most aggressive grille on the market.
From the outside the Ram looks fairly clean and tidy but some of the badges can get big and gaudy. Re-shaped bumpers (for 2013) are substantial yet more wind cheating, the grilles vary from simple dark colors of base trucks, through horizontal themed Sport, to chrome mesh on top-line trucks. Behind those grilles on some powertrains are shutters that automatically adjust the amount of air going through the coolers.
Some side mirrors stand off from the door glass, the sides are fairly flat, and the tailgate spoiler and windshield are both rounded for improved aerodynamics. Seen from behind where the tires appear almost flush with the body panels, the truck looks quite trim.
There is no large seam between the front bumper and the grille and lights, and models that do not come with fog lights do not have the outline marks in the bumper that show it's missing something. The large rear bumper has half-round openings for the sport exhaust on trucks so equipped, and both seven- and four-pin trailer plugs are fitted adjacent to the rear license plate. The tailgate has a lock (that works with the central locking system) and a torsion bar system that cuts apparent tailgate weight in half for ease of lowering and raising it; lower it slowly to avoid the big thud.
On upper trim-level variants the mirrors have LED puddle lamps and the headlamps are projector-beam units with LED signals; they are complemented by LED brake lights, turn signals and tail lights in the back. Some headlamp housings have RAM molded into the lens or background.
Some versions come with two-tone paint with monochrome an option, a few vice versa. Many have aluminum wheels, where not standard they're optional; some have chrome plated plastic covers while others have painted inserts in different colors.
The RamBox Cargo Management System is now offered with many bed/cab configurations. A pickup box with a rectangular interior and no wheel-well intrusions, it measures 49 inches wide inside so it can accommodate a 4×8 sheet of building material flat on the floor. Moving the interior walls inward results in sidewalls with much thicker sections, and in the tops of the two sides of the RamBox are two locking bins, capable of holding 120 standard 12-ounce cans on the left side (where the fuel fill is located) and 130 on the right in short box and up to 143 cans on the 6-foot, 4-inch box, or anything else of that same volume, such as dirty clothes, tools, recovery equipment, fishing tackle and so forth. These boxes have locking lids, drains, lights and 90-degree opening lids; together the volume exceeds that of a 55-gallon drum. You can fill them with ice and beverages for tailgate parties and camping. They might even hold trailer sway control equipment, though the heavy bars may be pushing the weight limits of the boxes. The RamBox has some trade-offs. It reduces total cargo box capacity and it adds weight, which comes off the payload capacity. Because the lids for the cargo bins open upwards, a RamBox is not compatible with camper shells, cargo caps, some bed covers and many racks.
We rank the Ram cabin at or near the top of the class.
The seats come in a durable fabric that you won't stick to you in summer heat or be crusty and chilly in a blizzard. They offer good support and plenty of room. We swapped through a few Ram models back-to-back to compare the trim levels and found the seat in the base model is the same design as in the top-line models, and we had no complaints after a full day of driving.
We found we could sit in the back of a Quad Cab for 20-minute jaunts, but a six-foot passenger will be happier in a Crew Cab where rear dimensions are essentially the same as the front. The rear seat has a nominal center headrest and a short cushion length, so it's really suitable only for kids, short adults or child seats.
Full instrumentation includes a tachometer, with myriad other data (transmission fluid temperature, etc) in the display between the primary gauges. Lower-line models have an iPod-size display much like the predecessor, while higher lines get a 7-inch display with more than 300 choices in the display/configuration menu. On these trucks one side of the tachometer has further displays inset, and at some point you may find it information overload. Try it for a while, configure to your liking and stick with it is our advice.
Gear shifting is based on model and transmission. Some have a conventional lever on the column, and some a rotary PRND dial on the center dash complemented by small pushbuttons on the steering wheel for gear up/down. The rotary dial is not our favorite (it looks too much like a navigation system controller) but it does free some space and gives the cabin a more open feeling. Displays also vary by screen and whether or not you're shifting or letting the truck do it; one shows a large number in half-tone light, the other letters/numbers along the bottom for gears selected and available. Some of those displays that use half-shade numbers are hard to see with polarized lenses.
Common operating controls such as lights and wipers are on column-mounted stalks, with plenty of redundant controls on the wheel including stereo controls on the back side. The primary switch-bank at the bottom of the center dash has functions along the top (tow/haul mode, stability control, etc.) and comfort (seat heat/ventilation, steering wheel heat) along the bottom. Each of the four dash vents may be closed separately.
Upper models may be ordered with bucket seats and a fixed center console that houses storage areas. The only drawbacks to this arrangement are the loss of one seating position and the space under the central dash. Other trims use a 40/20/40 bench seat, but as in back the center position has a shorter cushion, limited foot space and is best used for compact adults: no youngsters because of the airbags.
With so many trim levels to choose from you should be able to find one that meets your requirements. We found the basic Tradesman quite impressive, not decked out like a Longhorn, but $20,000 cheaper as well. Entry-level pickups long had a tendency to be penalty boxes lacking any amenity beyond a seat cushion and an ashtray (now part of a smoker pack option), but we didn't feel penalized at all in the Tradesman. Plastic door panels are easy to clean and fairly scuff resistant, the standard radio does a good job in light of the budget-conscious price and the low noise levels will calm after a long day with power tools.
As trims and prices rise so too do standard goodies and optional extras. The key goes in the dash on base trucks but others have pushbutton start, and mid-grade trucks add a voltmeter and an oil pressure indicator. A palette of choices for interior materials and colors includes real wood on Longhorn and Limited, and plenty of contrasting colors and matte finishes. The only one that annoyed us was a Laramie console with lots of glare-generating chrome.
The 8.4-inch screen infotainment system on upper models is very good: Lots of choice with no EE degree required. It may be the best of the bunch, currently, vastly superior to the small screen on the Ford models, which is hard to read. The voice-recognition worked quite well, even when trying to confuse it. One thing certain to be a hit with instant-gratification cold-climate residents is the ability to touch the seat and steering wheel heaters to on before wading through the cautions about driving while distracted. The rearview camera image is not as good as what's available from the other brands, however; the image is grainy and jumps, sort of like using a satellite phone to talk to someone on the other side of the planet. But it's a whole lot better than nothing and is useful when parking or hooking up trailers. The rearview camera can also help the driver spot a small child or pedestrian when backing up.
Storage in all models is good, including double glove-boxes or one plus a bin. On the Crew Cab, bean-counters will get bored determining which there are more of: storage areas or Ram logos and badges. On some four-doors you can get under-floor insulated storage compartments, which are a clever idea but, perhaps intentionally, hard to reach from the driving position. The Crew Cab has a pair of AC vents mounted low in back, far from ideal but better than nothing. Coat hooks will handle plastic hangars. Cupholders are in the center armrest, but there are no reading lights in back. The tunnel hump in the floor is just a couple of inches high yet plenty wide enough for the center rider to have both feet on the same level. The Regular cab has a sizable bin behind the seats and anchors for two child seats.
We found we could converse in normal tones at highway speeds back seat to front, with less than average wind, exhaust and tire noise from behind. Both the gas and diesel V6 are free of fatiguing noise and vibrations. Maneuvering a lot at full steering lock is quieter with the electric-assist steering.
The new Ram Laramie Longhorn cabin goes head-to-head with Chevy's Silverado High Country, GMC Denali, Toyota's Tundra 1794 and Ford's King Ranch in a slightly more understated way.
Dubbed Ecodiesel, the new 3-liter V6 turbodiesel is shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee and rates 240 horsepower at a relaxed 3600 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque at 2000 rpm. Idle is a little noisier than the gas engines but will only be heard inside when it's cold and the radio is off; at maximum power it seems quieter because peak outputs happen at half the speed of the gas engines.
Fuel economy for the Ecodiesel V6 is an EPA-estimated 20/28 mpg City/Highway with two-wheel drive, 19/27 mpg with 4WD. In moderate driving we averaged 23 mpg, a good 4-5 better than what we'd done in a gas V6 in much the same conditions. Top tow rating for the Ecodiesel is 9200 pounds, which we didn't approach, but it should make a much more efficient tow vehicle than a Hemi powered Ram. Diesels are better at gathering momentum than spinning tires, and from a standstill there's a moment while it builds boost before it thrusts you back in the seat.
Ram's powerful Hemi 5.7-liter V8, with variable valve timing, is rated at 395 horsepower and delivers broad power with 407 pound-feet of torque. Match the engine's power with the truck's clean aerodynamics and one result is that the Hemi's Multiple Displacement System (MDS) operates more often, enhancing fuel efficiency. The MDS essentially shuts off half the engine when not needed to save gas, and Chrysler says the Ram can be run past 70 mph with the MDS active. We did it, but only on flat ground with no wind and a very steady foot. The 5.7-liter V8 is EPA rated at 14/20 mpg City/Highway with 2WD and 6-sp auto, 15/22 with the 8-speed auto; subtract at least 1 mpg for 4WD.
The base 3.6-liter V6 provides 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, a bit healthier than Toyota's 4.0 or Ford's 3.5 and more power/less torque than GM's 4.3. Top tow capacity is 7450 pounds, which we wouldn't make a habit of, but if you don't mind the engine revving often it will pull it. The 3.6-liter engine usually nets EPA ratings of 17/25 mpg with 2WD, 16/23 mpg with 4WD.
The 3.6-liter gas V6 gains the most from the 8-speed automatic. Although it has essentially the same top gear ratio as the 6-speed, the much shorter initial gears mean it can lope along on tall axle gears (3.21:1) cruising, but accelerate much better. On undulating roads or city traffic it shifts frequently but those shifts are smooth and on-demand. In a Quad Cab 2WD we averaged 16 in town but pushed 26 on the highway if there was no breeze. We'd say this drivetrain is more than adequate for the truck fully loaded, or just a couple of passengers and a trailer up to 4,000 pounds.
The Ram HFE model incorporates automatic engine start/stop, the first pickup to do so, to save fuel. Much like a hybrid the engine switches off when the vehicle stops (assuming certain parameters like normal operating temperature are met), electric-assists keep steering, audio and ventilation systems going, and it restarts when you lift your foot off the brake (or press the gas for left-foot brakers). We drove a simulated urban loop and it worked every time we stopped for a traffic signal. You hear the engine restart more than feel it, and any delay is measured in fractions of a second.
Transmissions work as expected with modern, electronic-authority automatics. Each of the shifters has a method for manually choosing the forward gears, and each will revert to full automatic by holding the upshift button (+) for about one second.
The Tow/Haul mode is standard and useful when towing. Activating Tow/Haul may take the truck out of top gear but it does not lock it out; you can still cruise in overdrives with Tow/Haul on. The Tow/Haul mode keeps the transmission cooler when towing by holding gears longer (and reducing hunting between gears) and shifting faster (and firmer). It also adds some engine braking, though this is nominal with a 3.6-liter engine and the diesel does not have an exhaust brake like HD pickup diesels do.
The four-wheel drive systems have a slight rearward bias of power delivery, 2.64:1 low range for climbing or steep descents, and are electrically shifted from 2WD to 4WD without stopping; engaging low range is done most smoothly rolling at one-two mph with the transmission in Neutral. The 4WD systems have a Neutral position for flat-towing a Ram behind an RV or heavier construction truck. Two 4WD systems are available, and one has an Auto mode that allows 4WD-on-pavement use for inclement weather.
We found the brakes work well. Antilock and stability functions are standard so all you need to do in evasive maneuvers is push on the brake pedal and steer. In daily driving they deliver good feel and are easy to modulate, and although they handle the truck well we'd advise trailer brakes on any trailer more than 1500 pounds (less if your state requires it, of course). The integrated trailer brake controller works very well and is now on the center dash panel where it's easier to reach; if you plan on towing any electric-brake trailer we'd recommend it.
A Ram will never a racecar make but it benefits the same as a racecar when weight is removed from the suspension, axles, brakes and wheels. In addition, friction in the rear suspension as it moves up and down is 60 percent lower than leaf springs, so the rear axle is allowed to travel more up and down yet requires less stiffness to keep it controlled. The best-handling Ram is a regular cab Sport R/T with its fat, forged alloy wheels.
The Ram rides very well and in comparing it to the competitors it comes across as the best blend of ride and control, whether you're on 17-inch wheels or the big 20s. It goes where you point it without drama, the rear end feels less inclined to step sideways over a mid-turn bump or invoke the stability control, and the Ram has a feeling of good directional stability with a trailer in tow. Steering is direct, but the effort is low during maneuvers and cruising, and it increases nicely as you push the truck harder. Perhaps our best note about the electric-assist steering is that it felt the same as the previous hydraulic assist, something missing in many such systems, and there is no noise from it. Body roll is kept in check by stabilizer bars at both ends, yet a small amount is apparent as you turn the wheel just to keep you aware (and too much roll stiffness increases ride harshness). In sum, the whole truck exhibits less of the shuddering typical of body-on-frame designs used on all full-size pickups and some big SUVs.
Optional air suspension gives big advantages. It levels the truck regardless of load, maintaining stability and you won't have to adjust headlight aim every time you lash up a trailer. (It might even let you take a link or two off weight-distributing chains but remember not to exceed axle or GVWR limits.) Ride quality remains more consistent from empty to full-load. It has various ride heights to lower the truck for ease of entry/exit and lift it to aid clearances; minimum ground clearance is at the rear axle and doesn't change, but you can approach steeper hills and get more under the truck. Use the highest, off-road 2, only if needed because it does generate a relatively bouncy ride. Air suspension, with all the adjustments, is available for two- and four-wheel drive but not Regular cabs.
Off the highway, either suspension system offers good articulation and keeping the wheels on the ground longer always works best. We had no issues with suspension pieces dragging or being vulnerable to rock or stump impacts. And while we didn't have a sand box handy we could not invoke any axle hop even from full-throttle standing starts in a field. Our only complaints in off-road driving are that close-in visibility suffers from the big hood, making it harder to judge the corners through rocks or trees, and the wide A-pillar base may present its own visibility issues. The only apparent drawback of the suspension design is that the optional larger fuel tank is perhaps smaller than it might be otherwise, offering just six gallons more than the standard tank.
The Ram felt smooth and quiet, even on the 20-inch wheels that sing mildly at 50-60 mph. To our ears the Ram has the competition covered, but every ear has its preferences and many pickup owners like noise of different sorts and levels.
Payload, or how much weight in cargo and passengers a truck can carry, varies by cab, bed, number of drive wheels, and engine. Ram payload ratings run from 770 pounds for a loaded diesel Crew Cab 4WD to around 1930 for a 4WD Tradesman Regular Cab long bed without options: Four fisherman in a fancy 4WD Crew Cab towing a boat will have to put their coolers and tackle in the boat, not the truck.
Tow ratings top out around 10,450 pounds (for a regular cab, long bed, 5.7-liter V8 with the 3.92:1 axle ratio and 17-inch wheels), and range from about 4000 pounds upwards. Most Ram versions can be rated into the 8000-pound tow range, and V8 models will be comfortable with a 5000-pound boat and a full load on board. Remember that the more options you add the less weight you can tow. Also, choosing those stylish 20-inch wheels may knock a significant amount off the tow rating. We'd go for the 17-inch wheels if you want to use your truck as a truck.
We found the Ram suspension works well for towing. With a significant trailer the standard suspension still drops down in the rear, but the extra lateral stiffness inherent in the coil/link design minimized the tail moving side to side as the trailer pushed against it. Also, the electronic stability control system includes trailer sway control. Cooling systems appear up to the task, and towing mirrors are offered for pulling 102-inch-wide travel or large box trailers.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle All options that you select Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see. Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Looking at Qt 4, will Qt 5 bring improvement in regards to being more memory-efficient? Of course, you can always be focused on stuffing more functionality into your toolkit, but what about the case you need to do something efficiently?
I would love to know from someone who is into this topic, as I am rather the CLI guy and not that much into the GUI-stuff.

"Each man must face his own Ragnarok! And in his soul, each man doth doth know if he will be found -- wanting!"
Basic Information.
♠ Name: Odin Borson♠ Nickname: All-Father | All-God | God of Wisdom♠ Gender: Male♠ Age: 43♠ Clan: None
♠ Looks:
Odin was generally represented as a tall, vigorous man, about forty-three years of age, either with dark curling hair or with a long grey beard and bald head. He was clad in a suit of grey, with a blue hood, and his muscular body was enveloped in a wide blue mantle flecked with grey—an emblem of the sky with its fleecy clouds. In his hand Odin generally carried the spear Gungnir, which was so sacred that an oath sworn upon its point could never be broken, and on his finger or arm he wore the marvellous ring, Draupnir, the emblem of fruitfulness, precious beyond compare. When seated upon his throne or armed for the fray, Odin wore his eagle helmet. He generally donned a broad-brimmed hat, drawn low over his forehead to conceal the fact that he possessed but one eye.
♠ Personality:
The first thing most poeple attribute towards Odin is that he's very wise. Though sometimes he can be rather selfish in his dominance. He knows who are above him and treats them with respect, though, retrospectively, he knows who are beneath him. There is also a darker side to Odin's personality: he incites kinsmen to fight and turns against his own favourites. Odin is dedicated to keeping the peace between the villages. He believes in being responsible (in terms of being careful and responsible for your actions), duty (in terms of the protection and keeping of peace between the villages) and honor (always being a man of your word). However, when angered and/or upset, he can be very stern, borderline ruthless (not in terms of being bad but doing what he feels is necessary to send a message) to an extent. As Frigga (his wife) stated, "everything he does, he does with a purpose."

♠ History:
Odin is a member of the Asgardian race (Amegakure Shinobi), once looked upon by his people. At one time he led a force of Asgardians against the jotuns (Konohagakure Shinobi). The Asgardians beat the jotuns back to their village (Konohagakure) where Odin granted them mercy and offered them a truce. In the process, he also rescued a baby jotun who had been abandoned in the conflict. The infant Loki grew up as a brother to Odin's real son Thor, and Odin kept the boy's heritage a secret in the hope that he would one day come to end the enmity between the two races.
Years after the Asgardian/Jotunheim war, Odin held a ceremony to name Thor as his heir but the event was interrupted by several jotuns breaking into Odin's vault. He activated the defenses of the vault, thus ending the threat of the jotuns reclaiming their artifact but opted not to press the matter any further. Thor insisted that he launch an attack on Jotunheim but Odin rejected the idea, preferring instead to preserve the shaky truce. Thor then defied his father's will and launched a small-scale attack of his own. Upon learning of Thor's defiance, Odin went to Jotunheim himself and drew his sons and their friends back to Asgard. Thor had foolishly reignited the war with the jotuns and, for his transgression, Odin banished him.
Loki had discovered the truth of his long-concealed ancestry during the fight on Jotunheim and confronted Odin with the discovery. Odin could only relate a historical account of how he had found and rescued Loki before lapsing into a coma, "Odinsleep." With Odin incapacitated and Thor exiled, Loki seized the throne of Asgard for himself. He manipulated the others around him as Odin slept, even going so far as to arrange Odin's assassination at the hands of the jotuns, but when Laufey was about to kill Odin, Loki revealed his true plan of double-crossing and killed Laufey to make his father proud of him.
Odin finally awoke after Thor had secured a return to Asgard with an act of self-sacrifice and had defeated Loki. He raced to witness Thor grabbing hold of Loki's spear as Loki fell of a cliff and in turn grabbed Thor to prevent both of his sons from falling. Loki, dangling from the spear, looked up and appealed to Odin that he did what he did to make Odin proud of him, as he felt unloved. Odin quietly rejected this with a sad smile, and then watched with sadness when Loki released the spear of the cliff.
Some time later, Odin was approached by a sullen Thor. They both had suffered losses, and Thor had come to make an admission that he'd been wrong and hoped that one day he'd make his father proud. Odin, understanding the personal sacrifices that Thor had made told Thor that he had made him proud.

Gungnir is the Spear of Odin and is also referred to as the "Spear of Heaven".

Formed in 2009 on Oahu, Hawaii, The Green blends roots reggae with traditional Hawaiian vibes. Their new single Liar is out now on Easy Star Records. The Green's sophomore album Ways & Means spent four weeks at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Chart. Their self-titled debut album was named iTunes Best Reggae Album of 2010.
"The Green's powerful sonic identity fuses late 1970s-era dub-heavy roots reggae (reminiscent of English bands like Aswad and Steel Pulse) with strands of contemporary rock/pop/R&B and sporadic indigenous Hawaiian musical and lyrical references. That appealing synthesis has catapulted The Green to the forefront of Hawaii's thriving reggae scene." – Billboard

I am not interested in OpenGL 3 benchmarks with an OpenGL 4 card, i usually compared DX11, OpenGL 4 Win/Linux with my 5670 with tesselation (normal) + 16x ani. Benchmarks where a medium range card reaches >60 fps is boring as the monitor would not need more anyway and many games usually do not render more fps when not in benchmark mode even without vsync.

Our Mission is to teach young men and women general engineering skills, manual capabilities, applied sciences and leadership abilities that address the needs of rural and urban development in Lesotho, and to pursue financial self-sustainability through self-reliance, commercial endeavor, and responsible environmental management.
[This text was borrowed from http://www.bbcdc.org.ls.]
BBCDC addresses several thorny and interdependent development problems, including: educational innovation, landscape regeneration and water resources improvement, financial independence, adoption of renewable energy platforms, appropriate technology, and design of the built environment for sustainability. The school's primary mission is to provide skills and knowledge to young men and women for well- being and self-reliance through experiential learning. BBCDC stresses the design, assembly, operation and management of complex systems as a vital driver of wealth, value and order creation. While the surrounding landscape reflects moderate to severe land degradation along with high levels of underemployment, BBCDC has proven that science and technology for hydraulic control and application, together with solar energy utilization can sustain strong economic growth and opportunity when coupled with business acumen. Light industry, tourism, and food processing provide additional opportunities. Careful design and establishment of the built environment breaks vicious circles and replaces them with virtuous ones.
[show]News and recent developments
- April 2008: Ivan Yaholnitsky has built a proto-type parabolic trough system that he is using to operate a steady cottage bread and pastry baking business. The device can bake 25-40, 1000g loaves (depending on the season) in a day (and even a bit more on a perfect day). It also does pastries beautifully. The solar bread baker works so well, that he has invested in a 20 liter dough mixer, which also operates off his house's PV system.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Packers Fan There was a Packers fan with a really crappy seat at Lambeau Field. Looking with his binoculars, he spotted an empty seat on the 50-yard line. Thinking to himself "what a waste," he made his way down to the empty seat. When he arrived at the seat, he asked the man sitting next to it, "Is this seat taken?" The man replied, "This was my wife's seat. She passed away. She was a big Packers fan." "I'm so sorry to hear of your loss," The other man replied, "May I ask why you didn't give the ticket to a friend or a relative?" The man replied, "They're all at the funeral."
A Caring Husband A husband said to his wife, "Get your coat on love, it's time to go to the pub." "But you NEVER take me out," she replied. "I'm not," said the husband, "but I'm turning the heating off before I go."
Men's Room A man with no arms walked up to a bar and asked for a beer. The bartender shoved the foaming glass in front of him. "Look," said the customer, "I have no arms -- would you please hold the glass up to my mouth?" "Sure," said the bartender, and he did. "Now," said the customer, "I wonder if you'd be so kind as to get my handkerchief out of my pocket and wipe the foam off my mouth." "Certainly." And it was done. "If," said the armless man, "you'd reach in my right hand pants pocket, you'll find the money for the beer." The bartender got it. "You've been very kind," said the customer. "Just one thing more. Where is the men's room?" "Out the door," said the bartender, "turn left, walk two blocks, and there's one in a filling station on the corner."
New Son-In-Law A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the operations." The son-in-law interrupted, "I hate factories. I can't stand the noise." "I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well then you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations." "I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day." "Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just made you a half-owner of a profitable corporation, but you don't like factories and won't work in a office. What am I going to do with you?" "Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out!"
For Whom The Bell Tolls On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparents' house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that two people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong." She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"
Off To The Doctor An old man in his 80s got up and put on his coat. "Where are you going?" his wife asked. "I'm going to the doctor," he replied. "Why?" she asked. "Are you sick?" "No," he said. "I'm going to get me some of those new Viagra pills." So his wife got up out of her rocker and began putting on her sweater. "Where are you going?" the old man asked. "I'm going to the doctor too," she replied. "Why?" he asked. "If you're going to start using that rusty old thing again, I'm going to get a tetanus shot!"
Blond Police Officer A blond woman was driving along the highway when a blond police officer pulled her over for speeding. "May I see your license?" the officer asked. "What does it look like?" the blond woman asked. "It's a rectangular thing with a photo of you on it," the officer explained. The woman looked through her bag and pulled out her compact mirror and handed it to the officer. The officer opened it up and said, "If you had told me you were a police officer I wouldn't have pulled you over!"

I've had some experience with an OTW module- the one they manufacture for the big Type VII. It was the one belonging to Paul 'Von Braun' (remember him). He attended the first sub run I organised back in '06, and he'd blown the Mtroniks controller. I stripped it down and fitted a spare esc, and he was back in business for the day.
I dunno, all that work, and you don't even get to have a play with it.

About us…
Not just another social meetup group... More interaction,more events, more friendships, more connections, more fun! Everything from happy hours to nights out, from making new friends as usual or because you are new in town. We go out in combination with 4 more meetup groups, so our parties are great!
We're a wonderfully eclectic group of people who enjoy wine, beer...whatever plus food and the joy of getting together and socializing. Whether it's a themed wine party, Happy hour gathering, a blind tasting, checking out a new wine bar, or just enjoying each other's company, we ALWAYS HAVE FUN.
We also post volunteer opportunities that arise around town. We build houses for Habitat for Humanity, help out at the Special Olympics...anything we can find to give back to our community.
Let us know should you hear of something we might enjoy in our fine city!
Support, Fun and Hugs.
