5.0 out of 5 stars A little piece of magic,
Picard (USS Enterprise) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera - (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens,18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD (Electronics)
If you're an amateur photographer or hobbyist that that has previously owned a DSLR, then you'll surely appreciate the fatigue that comes with carrying it around. For such expensive devices, there is quite an imbalance between performance and practicality.
So when Canon introduced the EOS 100D - "the worlds smallest and lightest DSLR" you may be asking what this product compromises on. There are afterall a whole range of EOS cameras that dwarf the 100D, and are often more striking when it comes down to design.
The only way to summarise this camera is that it's for people wanting full DSLR functionality without the full bulk of professional features.
There are three versions of this kit on offer - the camera body on its own (as per the usual), another with the EF 18-55mm kit lens, and a third that has the former lens but with built-in Image Stabilisation (IS) and a Stepper Motor (STM).
Canon's new 18-55mm lens is a smart revision, because the original version had a very cheap feel to it. Although this latest design still has a full plastic body and mount, it genuinely feels a little more rugged and has the added bonus of a manual focus ring, so it's much easier to get creative when shooting. Pay a little more, and you also get the indispensable `IS' for handheld portraits at lower shutter speeds, and the decent `STM' for video recording.
Optically, the 18-55mm lens is unproblematic and will serve its purpose for outdoors.
Moving onto the 100D itself, there are a range of interesting design choices that set it apart. Is there anything more to say about its form? This thing is light, and it never feels like any corners have been cut. Sure enough the battery has been downsized too, but this is a small sacrifice for something that you have no hesitation in carrying around with you.
High-end DSLR's tend to try and `solve' menu navigation by offering a whole array of physical buttons, and this is acceptable if your needs demand it. However, capacitive touch-screens have improved greatly over the past several years, making them more comfortable and precise to use on a regular basis.
The 100D features such, and it provides an excellent method for changing your camera's settings with ease. This is achieved by first tapping an unlock button (labelled `Q' for Quick), which then highlights and allows for change to anything that you would normally prioritise - white balance, shutter speed, aperture and more.
There is almost zero learning curve, and importantly, it solves deep menu navigation.
Canon had the foresight to include that `lock' function because it prevents accidental input. Not only this, but the screen automatically dims when you raise the camera to look through the viewfinder. The screen is bright and very, very sharp, with the option to change the colour scheme of the menus if you wish.
In play mode, the screen can also be used to navigate photographs in a similar manner to a tablet or smartphone, with swipe and pinch-to-zoom gestures.
Despite the inclusion of a touch-screen, you can still use the camera in exactly the same way as always using its physical buttons. Everything is laid out nice and clearly, with the buttons themselves only having access to functions that you would need or use frequently. This is perfect for advanced amateurs or casual photographers that like to control the camera knowing, almost by heart, the layout of the buttons and exactly what they do.
What genuinely came as a surprise to me however was the 100D's performance in shooting. It's easy to assume that, based upon the camera's size and price, it can never compete with the higher end DSLRs that often cost twice or three times as much. The truth is, this little guy is as good as anything that I've ever seen. The images are quite remarkable both in JPEG and RAW, with a mesmerising range of colours and clarity. RAW images will consume in excess of 20mb of storage, but the quality of the JPEGs (at almost half of the required storage) will surely satisfy a majority of users.
The 100D does of course feature a cropped sensor, but this is expected at the price range. Again, full frame camera's are only going to wet the appetites of top professionals.
So to draw one popular comparison, why pick an EOS over a mirror less camera? One word: lenses. This of course applies to Nikon's DSLRs too, but the advantage of picking a compact DSLR such as the 100D over, say, an Olympus Pen, is that you have access of hundreds of different lenses - many of which are continuously updated and priced very decently in comparison.
It should also be known that, as is the way fashion moves, many of these compact mirrorless cameras (with interchangeable lenses) are priced according to how they look, rather than how they perform.
A somewhat added bonus to this particular product is that it arrived with an excellent Canon DVD, which helps to explain the functions of the EOS range, its accessories, and more importantly how these can be used to creative effect (All narrated by professionals). The video is neither one long promotion nor a snooze-cruise, but a genuinely engaging tutorial that will benefit amateur photographers and those looking to get the most out of their camera. In its own right, this could have been sold separately, but the choice to include it for free is simply excellent.
So without wanting to say more than is necessary, I really can't recommend the EOS 100D enough. The initial outlay is quite a step up from the more budget conscious 1100D, but what you're getting in return are images of professional quality from a simplified camera body. What's not to like?

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning - selling my 5d2 as a result,
mssmith1 "mssmith1" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm III Lens - Black (18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch Touch Screen LCD (Electronics)
As an enthusiastic amateur, I've long been searching for a decent second camera for when I don't want to take my big DSLR and heavy lenses out. Having been disappointed with the canon s95 (not impressive at all) and Fuji x10 (great in good light, terrible in bad light), I picked up an official canon refurb 100d.
I have been absolutely blown away by this camera. Paired with either the 40mm f2.8 pancake lens, or my 50mm f1.4, it is amazing. The low light performance is brilliant, and shooting at iso 3200 gives almost noise free images. I'd go as far as to say that in low light, it's as good as my full frame 5D2. Yes, the frame rate is not quite as fast, there's no weather proofing and the controls are not quite as good as on the higher end models, but (and this is a big but) - it is so compact you will want to take it everywhere.
Critically for me, it feels and operates like a DSLR should - the viewfinder is brilliant (which is a key reason I haven't embraced mirrorless CSC technology), and the touch screen makes function selection very fast. Battery life is very good, and using SD cards means storage is much cheaper than the compact flash that my 5D2 took.
The images I captured with the 100d were indistinguishable from my 5D shots (not just to me, but to at least 5 other photographers I showed them to), and the experience of living with a camera this small is just fabulous.
As an entry into the world of DSLRs, this would be a great purchase. Well specced and easy to use. As a second camera body, you'll have gathered from my review, it's so good that it is becoming my only camera body.
Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent small camera,
Gerald S. McLaughlin "GerryMcL" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera Body Only - (18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD (Electronics)
The Canon EOS100D is a very nice, very small DSLR. I also own an EOS7 which costs nearly three times as much, and the results from the 100D are evry bit as good. There small size takes a bit of getting used to, but once you put a lens on it, there is plenty to get hold of. I know from experience that it can be quite uncomfortable carrying a heavy camera around all day, and the lightness of the 100D is very welcome in this respect. Despite being light, it feels very robust and well made and the polycarbonate case feels almost the same as Canon's more expensive magnesium bodied cameras.
there are two things I don't like. Firstly, the camera is a bit patronising! Every time you change a setting it explains what the new setting is used for, as if you know nothing about cameras. This is a waste of time. Perhaps you can turn it off, but I haven't looked at the DVD handbook, so I'm not sure. There is a small but quite comprehensive instruction book as well as a DVD so you don't need to use the DVD unless you really want to know everything about the camera.
The other thing I don't like is the batty case cover. It feels flimsy, so you would need to be careful when using it. Cards are also accessed using this cover. So you will be opening it quite often. A shame really because it spoils an otherwise quality product, and is the reason why I have only awarded four stars. It's not a major problem however, so don't be put off by this.
The shutter allows 4 frames per second. I thought I might find this a bit slow compared to my EOS7 but it's fine and in fact I have difficulty just taking one shot when it's set to multi- shoot.
To summarise- an excellent camera, particularly for someone with small hands and also a worthwhile buy as a second camera when you want something a bit compact without sacrificing quality

5.0 out of 5 stars Test Results Deeply Worrying,
Gordon Clarke (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm III Lens - Black (18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch Touch Screen LCD (Electronics)
I see another reviewer put this up against his 5D2 - well I also bought this as a lightweight second body - for extreme travel photography, and as a fun thing for my son to play with between trips. So today I put it up against my 5D3 with some good zoom lenses (not prime). I also put this glass onto the 100D body, and took some shots in the sunny snow, and then some detailed studio shots. Both sets have left me deeply worried.
This little camera with its cheap entry level zoom lens out performed my 5D3 in terms of sharpness, colour depth and general picture satisfaction at every level. When I put the L series glass (16-35, 24-105 70-200) onto the 100D the shots with its own 18-55 were better throughout. When I put them onto the 5D3 - the 100D with its own lens also performed better.(I cannot put the 18-55 onto the 5D3 as it its EF-S).
On the other hand, I personally do not like the touch screen, especially the fact that I cannot turn it off, and I am not fond all the fancy filters. And it is not a sturdy build, my 5D3 has bumped around Africa and worked at -40C in Siberia without a hitch.
But I was absolutely shocked at the quality of the images you get out of this little beast.
Also, it is the perfect size for my 9 yr old son, who is setting up "still lives with teddy bears" at this very moment, absolutely delighted that "his" new camera takes better pictures than mine!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent piece of kit - take it everywhere for superb photos.,
M. Eadon (North Buckinghamshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera - (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens,18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD (Electronics)
Took the plunge on the EOS100D + the 18-55 STM lens after lugging around an EOS60D in the hot weather earlier this summer. Totally justified the money spent on this. The camera is a joy to use, the lens is sharp and so much better built than the older 18-55 standard lenses. The 4 stop IS in this lens gives sharp pictures where logic says they ought to be blurred and the stepper motor (STM) focussing is unobtrusive - fast and silent. The whole outfit is so small and light it's so easy to take it everywhere while away from home where before one might have just carried a compact or nothing.
Wonderful photos, even up to ISO 3200 indoors. If you're used to using EOS cameras just pick it up and start shooting - it just works. With the touch screen a beginner would soon be up and running as well. The small battery doesn't mean a short life, it's good for 400 shots I found. No ergonomic problems with the small body, although it does look a bit odd with a big L series lens on the front it works fine.
Don't think the 60D will be getting a lot of use now.....
Consider getting also an EF-S 18-135 STM lens for travel, that one lens will do everything well and it's still a very portable option with the 100D body.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great piece of tech!,
The Geezer "gadget freak" (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera Body Only - (18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD (Electronics)
I have owned several of the canon rebel cameras from the 300d to the 700d and several in-between. I have to say this is the most enjoyable rebel i have handled to date. Now i have to qualify this and say i have smaller than average hands for a guy and always found cameras such as the 650d and 700d as big as i would like to hold comfortably. The 60d for example is way too big for me to hold comfortably. This 100d fits me like a glove. Its really weird when you hold it for the first time, like its shrunk in the wash, but after a while you forget about its size. Its just such a nicely balanced camera. This is better than the 650d i owned and whether this is in-camera processing or a result of the totally re-engineered camera i dont know. The sensor is the same size and said to be the same sensor as the other rebels but with improved servo focusing for video. However it could be the result of the first totally new body for a rebel since the 450d i believe. I love the ease of the touch screen, hit the set button and you can now click on any of the main settings without having to go into the menu or hard custom buttons. Actually you dont get hard set buttons like the other rebels, for example a dedicated button for picture style etc. But i really dont miss them. The camera has also been a better all round match for all my lenses than all the other rebels. I have always had one or more lens give back or front focus issues but on this 100d they are all much nearer the sweet spot and none so far out you miss focus. I ma really talking about lenses such as my 100mm f2 and 50mm 1.8 where wide open the DOF is so small that accurate focus is critical. The 100d with the 40mm canon pancake lens is a marriage made in heaven, i just love the combination of these two little marvels and how so do not stand out from the crowd. I like taking street snaps but even with the 650d and a 28-135 zoom you get looks all the time. With this combination you blend into the crowd for some great snaps of moments in time.
So to go to the 100d from a rebel you lose the articulated LCD, well i never made use of that anyway. For others this may be a deal breaker. You lose stereo video recording, well no big deal, its not really the ideal way to record video anyway. So for me there were no big trade off's and in my mind i actually have the best rebel for image quality out there. I do shoot raw too btw so im not just talking about jpeg processing.
update: june 2014
bought a 70d this year and have to say the noise levels are on a par with the 100d and my copy of the 100d is actually sharper than the 70d. The 70d only wins out in its autofocus speed for video (it does of course have a lot more features and faster burst rate etc). Quite remarkable really for such a small camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy upgrade from an older D-SLR,

This review is from: Canon EOS 100D DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm III Lens - Black (18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch Touch Screen LCD (Electronics)
I have been using digital SLR cameras for about 12 years. Up until recently I used mainly Nikon as that was what I used with film but this time I decided to give the Canon a go. The main reason for this was size. This EOS100D is tiny compared to the competition but very well featured. I did wonder how much of an upgrade it would be from my Nikon D3100 but the following features are all very usable:
1. Low light. This thing takes awesome pictures in almost darkness. Even at ISO 6400 photos come out saturated and detailed. It is frankly amazing.
2. Focus speed. Lots of focus points that always seem to grab focus.
3. ISO button for quick change of ISO
4. Touchscreen that works like an iPhone. Swipe and zoom is just the same and not like early rubbish touch screen.
5. Buttons for when you don't want to use a touchscreen!
Picture quality is superb and the 18MP is far more than I need for family and holiday snaps. The x factor that this camera has is the speed of use and the fact that I can throw it in a man bag and have it with me. A DSLR is so much more usable than a point and shoot or iPhone but this is not the kind of camera that makes you look like "camera guy".
Notes on the kit lens. With the low light photos being so good, the fact that this lens is not a fast prime matters a lot less. With my sample I found photos to be very well saturated and sharp. Doubtless better glass will give better results but time spent in Lightroom will also give even better photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Camera,
Lovenow "Disinterested Wisdom" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm III Lens - Black (18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch Touch Screen LCD (Electronics)
We bought this camera to replace our Canon 1000D. In the Canon range, this is in the entry-level category. Being avid hobbyists on a budget we bought this camera with standard lens and have been very pleased. We decided against the IS (Image Stabilizer) lens, to keep the budget under control and haven't regretted it. In low-light conditions the high ISO ranges mean the added sensitivity more than compensates. We took photos in the Rijksmuseum with no flash on ISO 6400 and got great results even of dark flemish paintings. The menus are easy to use, and for people who want to apply their own settings, there is an easy to reach aperture button now which is a big plus. As mentioned elsewhere, the auto focus is a bit wonky on video setting, not something that concerned us since we didn't buy this camera to make videos with. This camera also has a 'live view' feature which enables you to see the photo on the LCD as you are taking it. I didn't see any reason for this feature, but actually I've found it useful a few times, for example when I want to hold the camera up over head, or when setting up the camera on a tripod (or other stationary object) for a group shot or where it's not easy to see through the viewfinder. All in all great camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! Big things come in small packages,

This review is from: Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera - (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens,18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
2 or 3 years ago I spent weeks trying to decide between getting a `classic' DSLR or one of the new micro four thirds models. I was attracted to the size of the mirrorless models because (among other things) I knew there'd be times when I just didn't feel like lumping a larger camera and lenses around.
I finally went for a Canon EOS600D because I wanted the larger sensor and better focus performance and haven't regretted it. All I regret is that Canon didn't have the 100D at that time - I wouldn't have had such a hard time choosing my camera!
I've had the 100D for a month now and it is just amazing. It is much smaller and lighter than the 600D but feels almost identical to operate, despite a couple of missing buttons. The shutter action is quieter than the 600D and it is very comfortable to hold, even for people with biggish hands. The body and grip are only really let down by its size when you put a larger lens on. I have a Canon 70-300 zoom lens that just dominates the body when attached, but despite this and the weight shifting more towards the lens, it remains very usable, after a few shots I no longer noticed the difference.
There are actually some things that the 100D does better than the 600D. The new STM motor equipped kit lens is astounding. It is so quiet and fast that at first I thought it wasn't working! The motor is completely inaudible and focus speeds are noticeably quicker than the old USM equipped lens, though some of this might actually be down to the new dual focus system of the 100D. Recording video is only let down by the removal of one of the microphones, which means you're recording mono sound in place of the stereo you'd get from the 100D's larger brethren. If you do need or want stereo audio the camera is fully capable, needing only the optional external microphone to do so.
The tactile screen might seem a bit gimmicky to some, but it makes navigating the menus and choosing settings a much quicker affair than using the old thumb stick, so it is a welcome addition as well.
The continuous shooting performance also impressed me; virtually nothing seems to have been sacrificed in the name of size or weight. I say virtually because there are a couple of exceptions. The first is the aforementioned trimming of the second microphone; the second is a reduction in battery size, since the smaller body does not have room for such a big battery. The 100D is equipped with an 875mAh battery, compared to the 1120mAh in my 600D. I haven't compared power consumption between the two models, but I guesstimate you can expect about a 20% drop in shooting time from a fully charged battery compared to the larger models.
The 100D's real weakness is actually in the lenses. This is where things fall down compared to micro four thirds cameras, which have smaller, lighter lenses to go with their smaller bodies (and sensors). With the 100D you're still stuck with the full size lenses of a classic DSLR. However, I'm sure you could have a lot of fun with this camera and the pancake prime lenses from Canon, of which there are already 22mm and 40mm STM equipped versions. Go for a bigger zoom as well and you'd be a very happy little bunny.
Would I choose the 100D over a 700D? That's a tough one! I'm not sure I could give an answer to that right now, but I will say that I would not tell anyone to get the 700D in place of the 100D if they were leaning in that direction. My final comment is this; there have been times when I've regretted that my camera isn't smaller, there haven't been anywhere I've wanted it to be bigger...

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding,
This review is from: Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera - (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens,18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD (Electronics)
I have a professional DSLR (Canon EOS 5D Mark III - SLR Digital Camera (Body only)) which is very heavy and I often leave it at home because of its weight. As an everyday camera, I had been using a mirror-less camera since May 2013 (Fujifilm X100S Digital Camera - Silver (16.3 MP, APS-C 16M X-Trans CMOS II with EXR Processor II) 2.8 inch LCD). I sold the Fujifilm X100S 6 weeks ago because I found it fiddly to use. It was also very expensive and the auto focus was slower than what I am used to. The 100D replaces the Fuji X100s and has become my everyday camera as well as a very capable back-up to my professional camera.
I like:
Size, weight, speed and ease of changing camera settings, full manual control, hot shoe, E-TTL II, quick auto focus, good viewfinder, bright and crisp LCD screen, touchscreen that is simple and that is responsive, photo quality below ISO 1600, photo quality at ISO 100-400 is superb, compatible with so many lenses, exposure compensation, flash compensation (although limited to +/- 2 stops), large sensor, canon's button and menu layout. I also like that it has a variety of auto modes so people with little camera expertise can easily take photos too.
Don't like: (bear in mind I'm comparing it to my Canon 5D Mark iii camera)
ISO quality above 1600. ISO 3200 is OK, ISO 6400 has lots of coloured grain but nevertheless useable for internet sized photos.
Max 1/4000 shutter speed (hindrance when shooting at big apertures on a bright sunny day)
No HSS for the built in flash (limits its use as fill-flash on sunny days)
The auto focus assist light is blinding. An IR focus assist light would be much more pleasant for those being photographed.
Not weather sealed.
I don't think this camera will be very easy to use at apertures larger than f/2.8. Only the centre focus point is cross type and therefore the only very accurate focus point. Unless you manually focus, the 'focus and recompose' method is the only auto focus option that is quick and reliable and this technique changes the focal plain. This can result in missed focus when there is a very narrow depth of field. Also, the 1/4000 max. shutter speed is limiting in bright light so ND filters will have to be used with fast lenses.
Compatible lenses are larger than the lenses made for four third and mirrorless cameras. Most good quality DSLR lenses are large or heavy and cancel out the 100D's light weight and small size. The Canon 40mm pancake lens is ideal for this camera as well as small primes such as the 28mm f/1.8, 35mm f/2.0 and 50mm f/1.8.
I have found the kit 18-55mm STM lens to be very good. it is also very light. The IS helps a lot given its small aperture. Evening shots without moving objects can be photographed handheld. During the day, the lens is great for landscapes, events and portraits. The lens is excellent for video because of the IS and STM silent focusing. For what it is, the kit lens is really very good indeed. It has a small aperture and therefore can't get a narrow depth of field nor can it photograph people in low light without flash. For photographing people in the late evening or in a dimly lit room, flash should be used.
The camera has so many of the same qualities as my professional DSLR camera. The main differences to the 5D Mark iii is the sensor size, the slight but nevertheless noticeable photo quality at high ISOs (3200 and 6400 ISOs) and the number of cross-type AF points. With mirrorless and compact cameras, so many sacrifices are often made (for example: hot shoe, sensor size, viewfinder, focus speed, control dials and buttons, lens aperture, lens quality, value for money). With the 100D there are so few sacrifices. The 100D is truly a great DSLR and can produce images of outstanding quality.

Last October, Steam saw the release of Iridium Studios' former Xbox Live Indie Game Sequence. This debut title can only be described as a "rhythm RPG," combining gameplay elements from Bemani-style rhythm games and standard RPG trappings such as experience and crafting.

How on earth did Vokoun's agent at not least get Vokey a contract with the Yotes? Fire that bum, Vokey!!!
Lyle Richardson on July 5, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Maybe Vokoun wasn't interested, or maybe they weren't? Not always the agent's fault!

Whether kept in the car or in your backpack these do come in very handy & tend to outlast with aplomb their use by dates (usually 2-3 years, i've used them succesfully 4+ years after best by date) ..just by being slack with kit change rather than miserly) ..they provide a handy "see me" level of light to get you out of a fix, I prefer the yellow & orange as they appear that bit brighter in terms of overall luminosity, whereas the red is often duller (reason unknown).

In June we saw the happy end of the emotional spectrum when the Orioles drafted Dylan Bundy. At midnight tonight (while the O's are playing the Oakland A's) we'll see the other side of that if they can't sign him. If you believe scouting reports, Bundy is a future A-Lister; then again so were a lot of players who couldn't seem to hack it this year. But I digress; Bundy's brother Bobby is already in the Orioles' farm system (Frederick). So that in itself was part of the draw to Bundy from the perspective of the Orioles' director of scouting Joe Jordan. That of course would make things all the more painful if Bundy doesn't sign by midnight. MLB is the only sport in which players don't really have to sign with the team that drafts them. Basically if they aren't signed by August 15th, they can go back to high school or college and re-enter the draft the following year. Certainly NFL and NBA players are free not to sign as well, however if they don't sign, the team that drafts them continues to hold their rights (for up to a year). I would also mention that if Bundy doesn't sign, the O's would get a supplemental pick in next year's draft.
Personally I fail to believe that the O's and Bundy won't get something done. Then again, I've been wrong about pretty much this entire season, so what do I know? However teams don't blindly draft players; they do so with the knowledge that odds are that guy will sign with them. However wouldn't it be the Orioles' luck that Bundy doesn't sign and then next year gets drafted by a team and ends up the next Nolan Ryan? This is partially why the failures of Matusz, Tillman, and others this season resonates so loudly. People such as Dylan Bundy see that, and it potentially makes them wonder if they wouldn't be better off sitting out another year and re-entering the draft in 2012. Would his skills atrophize in Baltimore? Would some freak injury befall him? These are all questions that have to come up in a prospect's mind in these situations, because he'll be with the Orioles' system for the foreseeable future.
The most recent big-name picks the Orioles have made (most notably Matt Wieters and Manny Machado) signed at the 11th hour when there was evidence to suggest that they wouldn't. Wieters has certainly panned out, and all evidence points to Machado being the Orioles' shortstop of the future. Most of what's been reported this summer has been that the big issue in signing Bundy has been related mostly to money. One has to hope that the two sides are able to come to some sort of happy medium in that department, otherwise Joe Jordan and the Orioles will have a lot of 'splaining to do in the morning.

Show Off Your Pet [PHOTOS]
Everyone loves their pets. We love your pets too and want you to show them off.
Everyone loves their pets. We love your pets too and want you to show them off.
Have you seen the video where one woman decided to kick snow on a stray cat? Well he got his revenge and attacked her! Watch it here:
Hope to see you at the open house Sunday at Mallory Acres Animal Retreat, just off Trenton Road at 6440 Mallory Road in Utica. Yours truly and Jeremiah will be broadcasting live Sunday from noon until 2:00 p.m, and the open house will continue until 4:00 p.m.
You would think Carrie Underwood would be too busy to do something like this. Carrie and hubby Mike Fisher have opened a Twitter account for their dogs Ace and Pennyamazon.com complete with pictures and captions of the pooches in action. Check out the hilarious tweets.
Last year a photo made the rounds of a man, John Unger, cradling his ailing dog, Schoep, in the waters of Lake Michigan. The photo touched people around the world resulting in numerous donations that allowed Schoep to receive the treatment he needed. Schoep died last month at age 20 and now, according to MSN, a woman has pieced together a touching video tribute using pictures from Mr. Unger's "Schoep and John" Facebook page. It's beautiful.
We often talk about the indomitable human spirit but how about the will to conquer challenges shown by animals. A miniature horse named Roozer Brewz has battled disabilities his entire 2 year life and has just begun to overcome a big one thanks to some caring and innovative University of Florida vets.
Last week after a night of sub-zero temperatures I noticed a stray cat in my neighbors driveway licking snow for hydration. She was disheveled, malnourished and shivering. I brought out a small dish of cat food and she came running over, polishing off the food in nothing flat. I said to myself, "This is unacceptable". What happened next?
Tis the season for you to put up that beautiful Christmas Tree. Maybe you've searched all over Central New York for your tree but now you have one problem; your cat. Cats naturally love to climb, and a Christmas Tree is the king of all things to climb. Here's some tips on how to keep your cat our of the Christmas Tree.
We all try to please our pets with the occasional treat but Obie, a dachshund in Portland, Oregon, apparently received spoiling way beyond reason. At 70 pounds Obie is more than twice his recommended weight which is why a local veterinary tech, Nora Vanetta, has begun a Facebook page to support her efforts to get Obie back to a more normal and more healthy weight.
After capturing a photo of our cat slaying of a roll of toilet paper, it got me to thinking about strange and peculiar things our pets do. Our dog, Randi, who fears everything including her own shadow, has one peculiar action when it comes to sirens.

Ch. 19
As they charged in, Gregor's life flashed by his eyes. He knew now that he was going to live or die.
When the Bane tried to claw Gregor, Ares swiftly dodged it. Gregor felt his rager sense kicking in. He tried to cut the Bane, put he actually hit Gregor's sword out of his hand. Ares flew to it and Gregor caught it right on the hilt.
"I have to get in closer if I want to take him out!" Gregor wanted to say those words aloud, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. It seemed like Ares read his mind though. He charged in at the Bane. He tried to rip Ares's wing, but Ares evaded that and only got a cut.
Then, he managed to claw Gregor across the face. He was alright though.
It seemed like they had done countless hours of fighting. They had gotten many minor and major injuries. They felt like they were going to die.
The Bane staggered into another room. Gregor and Ares followed him. It looked like they went into a boiler room. Before they knew it, something horrible happened. The Bane staggered into a gas tank. Under his weight, it crushed. It blew up.
The Bane was dead, Gregor was almost dead, and Ares received third degree burns. He flew over to Gregor. He was crying. "It's okay," said Ares soothingly. "It's okay."
He knew it wasn't. Gregor was almost dead. "Ares," Gregor groaned. "My family. Tell… them… it's okay… and I'm sorry. And… thank you… for… everything… You… were… like… the brother… I never." The pause went on for a while until Gregor choked out: "Had."
Ares watched as Gregor's eyes became lifeless. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he yelled.
He didn't even check for a heartbeat because he was certain he was dead.
He wasn't strong enough to load Gregor on his back. He figured they would come back for him so he could be buried properly. He felt hot tears running down his cheeks.
He started his long and painful flight home.
Luxa watched the battle, knowing that Ares had done the right thing. But what if they hadn't survived? So many questions went through her head and she almost didn't see Ares. She was suddenly filled with joy. If Ares was there than Gregor had to be there!
The entire battle stopped as Ares flew over the battle field. Luxa noticed Gregor wasn't on his back. She was suddenly filled with worry. Ares landed on the wall. Luxa rushed over to him. "Gregor?" she asked hopefully. He shook his head.
Luxa felt like a bunch of glass just shattered. "The Bane?" she asked.
"Dead," replied Ares. "They were killed in an explosion at the ruins of Merleous."
Everyone just stared when Vikus announced: "Gregor the Overlander and the Bane are dead."
The cutters just left like their battle was over. Aurora realized Ares's injuries. He was rushed to the hospital.
A week later, they held Gregor's funeral. They didn't have the body because nobody wanted to risk going to Merleous. About everyone living in the Underland showed up. Also, Gregor's mom, dad, and sisters were there.
"We have gathered here today," started Vikus who was the priest, "to celebrate the passing of a most famous, amazing, generous, and courageous person. But I must say his most amazing quality was his never dying love (quoted right out of Harry Potter)."
Vikus went on for a while until the speech was over. Everyone clapped. Then, Vikus said: I would like a moment of silence to dedicate to this most courageous hero."
Everyone was silent for a very long time. There were a few sniffles, but other than that, silence. That was why they heard footsteps in the hall. It sounded like one person that moved very, very slowly. Everyone looked up. They all looked around at each other to see who was walking. That was when the door opened.
There was Gregor. His face stained red with blood, with many claw scrapes going across it. One of his legs was almost falling off of his body. His was using a long piece of concrete to support himself (there isn't much wood in the Underland). Finally, all of his shirt was ripped off so you could see that he had third degree burns going all around his body. He also had a couple new scars on his chest and back with small cuts on his arms and legs.
He was about to faint when Ares flew over to him and caught him. Luxa, Aurora, Vikus, and Hazard were there next. Finally, his family reached him.
Since they weren't in the palace, Ares flew him back there ASAP.

Soldiers Going To College In Droves
In recent years there's been a 57 percent jump in veteran and service member enrollment in state colleges and universities in Minnesota. And the number will continue to climb with more troops coming home soon, says Steve Frantz, the veterans re-entry education director for MNSCU.
He says his staff is doing whatever they can for troops to be able to transition into students again and let them know what available fields they can get into or what classes they have available for those wanting more training in their military field.
Third Gold Ball In Basketball For Hilltoppers
It took 20 years, but Onalaska has another gold ball in its trophy case for a state basketball championship...
The Hilltoppers captured their first basketball title at state since 1992 over the weekend, and they brought the trophy to the high school at a welcome-home rally on Sunday.
Onalaska head coach Craig Kowal said the fans were crucial to winning the championship. This is the third state title for Onalaska in boys basketball. Their first championship occurred in 1988. The rally was held outdoors in summer-like weather at the high school football field.
2 Area Bball Teams In Championships
Both area boys basketball teams will be playing tomorrow for state championship gold balls. Earlier today, G-E-T beat Marshall 55-53 and will now play Brillion in the championship game tomorrow afternoon. Onalaska beat Milwaukee Pius XI, 38-32 to advance to the championship game tomorrow against Kaukauna at 6:35.
Golatt Pleads Not Guilty To Killing Rodgers
A 'not guilty' plea in an apparent drug-related murder...
Izelia Golatt of La Crosse will go to trial for the strangling death of Kristen Rodgers. Golatt was arrested last week, three days after the body of Rodgers was found in a north La Crosse alley. The victim reportedly had called Golatt, seeking to buy drugs. In court today, local police testified about evidence found at the crime scene and at Golatt's home...and about security video showing the two together shortly before Rodgers died.
Dems Stretch The Session
(AP) Minority Democrats in the state Assembly won't let one of the roughest legislative sessions in Wisconsin history end. Thursday was the last scheduled day for floor debate in the Senate and Assembly before lawmakers leave Madison for the campaign trail. The Senate finished its work in less than an hour Thursday afternoon. The Assembly came to the floor Thursday morning and worked until 11 p.m. or so before the Democrats broke for strategy meetings. They returned to the floor around 3 a.m. Friday and started trying to pull their favorite bills up for votes, forcing majority Republicans to vote the attempts down one by one and prolonging the session. The body still had more than 30 bills on its regular calendar as dawn approached.

Love the sounds of all these recipes!!!
Last night I made the warm cauliflower and quinoa salad, my first foray into quinoa. It was delicious!!
I'm wondering if you have many recipes that have beans and legumes but no rice or dairy? I've just discovered I have an intolerance to wheat, dairy and carbohydrates so we have some interesting times ahead!!!
Thanks for any advice or recipes you may have.

Bait al Karama
07 Mar 13
Nablus, 63 kilometers from Jerusalem in the north of the West Bank, was once the economic capital of Palestine. Its olive oil soap; along with Aleppo soap, was once exported around the entire Mediterranean. But during the clashes and destruction of the Second Intifada, the uprising that lasted from 2000 to 2010, the historic center of Nablus became an epicenter of violence. The city is still suffering the devastating after-effects, with unemployment estimated at 80% and around 65% of the population living below the poverty threshold.
Yet even in such difficult circumstances, signs of hope are emerging. One of them is Bait al Karama, which means "house of dignity," the first center for women in the old town. Its aims are to create jobs for all those who have suffered trauma and loss during and after the Second Intifada and to run a program of social, psychological and educational support for women and children.
Bait al Karama is also Slow Food's Nablus convivium and hosts the first international school for Palestinian cooking entirely run by women from the West Bank. The project evolved out of the awareness that while Palestinian cooking offers an incredible variety of Arab dishes and specialties, it is little known in both the Middle East and the West. Nablus was once the crossroads of many important commercial routes and home to several of the country's richest families, who supported the development of a refined cuisine. Some of Palestine's most fascinating dishes originated here, the result of the meeting of spices, meat and vegetables from distant countries. The desserts, in particular, represent the peak of this tradition.
Bait al Karama is restoring local women's pride in their own identity, giving them the chance to pass on a rich heritage of traditions. And on March 5, several of the women were invited to the European Parliament to present their project of hope. What better way to celebrate International Women's Day, March 8, than with this meeting between Palestine and Europe with the women of Bait al Karama?
Help us support the Bait al Karama cooking school:

Eye to Eye: The need for licensing
About 15 years ago the Florida statute for licensing psychological counselors expired without a replacement. People had great fun with the oversight, and licensed their dogs, cats and other totally unqualified people. It made us acutely aware of the value of the licensing programs we put in place, to protect us from un-skilled, unqualified and unscrupulous behavior in the market place.
As a state we license contractors, so we know they have the skills to build something safe that will last; hair stylists, so we know they won't set our hair on fire; and doctors, so we can be assured they won't remove an arm instead of an appendix.
The licensing programs in Florida are much tougher than many other states because we have such an influx of people who want to make a quick buck regardless of consequences. Without this licensing requirement, you and I pay the price in poor workmanship and even life threatening problems.
The same is true for optometrists and opticians. To practice in the state of Florida legally, you must be licensed by the state of Florida. It assures the consumer that you have studied the appropriate materials, for the required time, and passed the rigorous testing the state requires. And yes, they are rigorous.
Optical shops, especially the chain stores will usually have only one optician and many "techs" or "fashion consultants". The likely-hood of you getting the qualified licensed optician is slim, you have a greater chance of getting the "consultant". I have been made aware of a chain optical in Jensen Beach whose Optometrist isn't licensed to practice in the state of Florida.
To assure your safety and the highest level of professional service, make sure the provider you are dealing with is fully licensed in the state they are practicing in. In our case – Florida. Ask for a Florida licensed optometrist (to do an eye exam) or optician (to measure for your glasses). Do not settle for less skill and product knowledge than you deserve.
There are several places where you can check the license of your service provider, but the most complete is the state's Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Here you can look up an individual, and see if they have a license to practice. But you can also see if they have been penalized for improper behavior.
The other site, Professional Opticians of Florida, contains consumer information on the purchase of eyewear and the licensing of Opticians.
As a consumer you should always inform and protect yourself against those who might take advantage of your lack of knowledge – in any type of business.
Daniel Amyx and his wife Lara are the owners of Hillmoor Optical and Treasure Coast Opticians, with offices in Port St. Lucie and Vero Beach. Amyx has been a Florida licensed optician for 30 years, part of that time teaching opticianry in Tampa, 11 years on the Treasure Coast. To reach him, call (772) 337-6377 or email email@example.com.

Disarmament and non-proliferation
As part of its efforts to promote transparency in the disarmament arena, today France opened up airbase 116 at Luxeuil in Haute-Saône. Representatives from some 50 nations and international organizations visited the former nuclear munitions depots at this base as well as the former Lafayette fighter squadron facilities. They were able to note the concrete effects of France's 2008 decision to scale down its airborne nuclear component by one-third.
As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and as a nuclear-weapon state as defined in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), France has a special responsibility for maintaining and strengthening international peace and security.
France's actions on non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament reflect this twofold responsibility, and are guided by certain unchanging principles:
puceoupas working towards a safer world;
puceoupas developing friendly relations between States;
puceoupas forestalling threats to peace;
puceoupas respecting the right of legitimate self-defence;
puceoupas opting out of the arms race;
puceoupas moving towards general and complete disarmament.
France pursues its aim by means of multilateral approaches, normative regimes and, where necessary, informal initiatives.
France supports the international organisations responsible for establishing international verification mechanisms, and plays a part in confidence and security building measures designed to ensure stability and transparency within the international community.
Finally, France is constantly alert to any changes to the international security situation and to the strategic context, to which it responds by seeking the widest possible international solidarity.

EU brokers safer internet deal with 17 social networking sites.
Seventeen leading websites have agreed to put in place safeguards to protect young people from unwittingly risking their privacy and safety. They include Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, the French video website Dailymotion and Habbo Hotel, the popular virtual world for children.
Online social networking has grown more than 35% in Europe over the past year. About 42 million people are regular users, a number expected to more than double by 2012.
Social networking sites encourage users to feel that they're among a close set of friends when in fact there could be millions of people reading about them. These digital warehouses of private information raise the risks a user will receive harassing messages or be approached by a sexual predator.
They are also a goldmine for online advertisers, because users post information about themselves and can then be targeted with products and services likely to appeal to them.
Under a deal signed during a ceremony marking Safer Internet Day, the 17 companies agreed to ensure that:
The companies promised significant progress towards implementing the agreement by April 2009. In some cases the policies have already been put in place as networks try to protect themselves against claims of privacy violation and illegal activity. MySpace has purged 90 000 sex offenders over the past two years.
Viviane Reding, the commissioner for information society and the media, called the agreement an "important step" in making social networking safer for children.
The commission has also launched a campaign against cyber-bullying – harassment via the web or mobile phone. A growing problem, this typically takes the form of hostile text messages or photos or videos posted to embarrass users.
As part of the campaign, a video clip about a young girl being targeted by cyber-bullies is airing on public and private TV channels across Europe.

- Using the Grand Nestabilties LF-190 Grand Labels Four #6 and #5 (the smallest die template is #1), I cut/embossed two different pattern papers in the Grand Calibur Then I adhered the papers together.
- On a score board, I placed the die cut on the long side. I scored a line at 4 1/2" and 5 1/2" to make an inch fold in the middle.
- Using S4-126 Classic Square LG #5, I cut/embossed two squares for the ends. I scored at 3/4" and 1 3/4" on the sides. For its bottom, I scored 1/4" and cut with scissors the short score lines to fold into the ends.
- Then with adhesive tape, I adhered the square die cuts to the ends to create the base. What a great shape!
- Next I embellished the front by cutting/embossing with S5-040 Floral Doily Accents Border, Flowers, Long Doily and S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs Large Doily. I trimmed the border and then adhered it to the front.
- I added a rhinestone swirl to the front before layering the die cuts with a combination of EZ Runner and White 3D Foam Squares as shown. I loved how I can easily layer the different pieces in the Accents and Motifs Collection to create a beautiful design in my projects!

NEW YORK (Mar. 18, 2010) Unbeaten middleweight sensation Peter Kid Chocolate Quillin will headline a Jed Weinstein-promoted show April 15 at the famed Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan. Quillin (21-0, 15 KOs), fighting out of New York City, faces an opponent soon to be announced in the 10-round main event. Last month, Kid Chocolate returned after an 18-month layoff to decision veteran Fernando Zuniga..
I believe its important for fighters to fight regularly, especially those that are looking to establish themselves, said Quillins promoter, Gotham Boxing president Ced Kushner. I dont think Petes 18-month layoff has hurt him with his fans given his popularity, particularly in the Tri-State area. However, I am going to make sure that he remains highly active so that he gets the opportunity in the near future to fight on one of the major networks, which will give the opportunity to display his skills to a national audience. Were fortunate to be able to put him on the top of Jeds show at the Roseland Ballroom, where Kid Chocolate has fought a number of times (3). We plan to keep Pete busy and get him back into the ratings.
Quillin was rated as high as No. 5 by the IBF before a series of misfortunate circumstances cost him 18-months of his career. First, he was shutdown for eight months due to a broken right hand suffered in his last fight prior to returning last month on the Tomasz Adamek-Jason Estrada show in Newark, New Jersey. After getting back into training, Peter suffered a hairline fracture of the eye socket and, when that healed and he was ready to fight again, he suffered an emergency appendectomy.
I gave myself a B- grade for my fight against Zuniga, Quillin offered. I couldnt expect much more after a 1 ½ year layoff. I nearly swept every round on all three judges scorecards (100-90, 100-90, 98-92). But thats what I do knockout my opponent or completely dominate them. All I want to do is win big.
I need fights like the one in New Jersey and on April 15th to get me going again. Its always great fighting near home. Some of my fans who couldnt make it to Newark will hopefully be at this fight. Im looking for bigger and better things this fight and then beyond. I want to thank my promoter, Cedric, and manager, John (Seip), for keeping me busy and getting me back-to-back fights. Im very happy that they could work a deal with promoter Jed Weinstein to feature me on the card.
Quillin is one of the most entertaining, young (26 years old) boxers -- before, during and after his fights. Fans cant wait for him to toss chocolate kisses candies into the crowd as he leaves the ring, which has fast become a popular tradition for the son of a Cuban father.
Theres nothing better than to get Pete back in action after his unfortunate layoff that was unavoidable, Seip noted. Weve accepted it as part of the game. Pete is still young and he had a very limited amateur career. We want to keep him sharp and fine tuned. He went from being 18 months off, right into a 10 rounder against a crafty, dangerous veteran in Zuniga, who is tough to look good against. Pete had been fighting 8-10 times a year and as soon as he was ready, we put him in with a solid veteran. Pete showed some rust but he still dominated that fight. He was in excellent shape but theres nothing like being in a 10-round fight. This is a pivotal point in his career. We want to keep him busy until a big fight comes along so he can take advantage of that opportunity.
Team Quillin hopes that 2010 is the Year of Kid Chocolate.
HOLLYWOOD, FL, March 18 In boxing, nothings more exciting than a knockout. So it goes without saying that with 13 knockout wins in 13 pro fights, Puerto Ricos Kenny Galarza is rapidly finding his way onto most fans must see list.
Last Friday night at the Sosua Bay Grand Casino in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, the 24-year old made it a lucky 13 in a row as he halted 34 fight veteran Miguel Casillas in just three rounds.
The victory is Galarzas second of 2010 already, and the current NABO junior welterweight champion is soaring up the world rankings, as he is currently ranked 11th by the WBO and ready for all comers at 140-pounds.
Kenny keeps getting better with each bout, and his speed and power are just devastating, even as we lift his level of competition, said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Warriors Boxing, Galarzas promoter. Hes on the verge of stardom and I know hes putting in the hard work necessary to join the likes of Trinidad, Cotto, and Calderon in the coming years.

I dont plan on it going to the judges scorecards either! Stevenson says, "I've seen Rivera, he's a good fighter. This fight will show me where I'm at in the game."
Scott CUJO Sigmon (8-1, 3KOs) will take on Jessie THE BEAST Nicklow (19-2, 7KOs) in a ten round bout for the East Coast Middleweight Championship. My goal is to clean up the trash that's in boxing.

Nicklow says I will knock him (Cujo) out within 3 rounds and he probably won't make it out the first round. He fights like an amateur! Nicklow also said, "It's gonna be a bad night for Virginia because I'm knocking out Cujo and Petey (James Stevenson) is knocking out Rivera."

1994 Ford Taurus Question: brake light fuse blows when brake is touched
Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, December 12, 2009, 09:44Master
I don't have a wiring diagram in front of me but if the brake light switch has only two wires on it (some brake light switches have more wires to operate cruise control or other functions), if it only has two wires and you bridge the wires with a paper clip and this operates the brake lights but does not blow the fuse then the brake light switch has a short internally going to ground on the mounting bracket but it is rare for a switch to short out in this way. Look at autozone.com there website has many workshop manuals free on line perhaps you can get a wiring diagram.
Replycarrienkyle, December 12, 2009, 10:09Rookie
ok if i can find someone to do this i dont know if they can do it i was just wondering with the brake light switch not plugged in if all the wireing still got power or not cause if i unplug brake lights it blows so they said it wasnt the brake lights i didnt know if the siwtch worked the same or if it was out the wireing has no power im lost and confused sorry to be such a pain
Replypatrick mannion, December 13, 2009, 11:54Master
Try removing the brake light bulbs from their sockets press the pedal see if the fuse blows, if so defective or incorrect bulb?
ReplyVisitor, August 23, 2010, 18:22
the head light switch is bad . there was a recall . see if the switch is hot when the num one fuse blows. and it doesnt come out of park
Answer #2Visitor, April 19, 2010, 12:57
you have a bare wire touching metal somwhere in the line and when you touch the brake it sends voltage through the wire and when it gets to the bare part in the wire that is touching metal it blows the fuse
Answer #3Visitor, December 02, 2010, 08:43
I have a 1994 Ford Tempo that was doing the same thing, I believe the wiring harness might be similair to the taurus, so hope this helps, I traced the brake wires back to the main harness above the fuse box, Ford engineers and all their greatness (not) ran the harness around sharp metal with no protection and the brake light wire was first in line to get rubbed raw, causing my fuse to blow, the wire is really hard to see , I had to remove the protection plate and cover below the steering wheel to see it, but if u have the same problem then its common in tempo and taurus, quick fix I put rubber over the sharp edge of the metal and repaired the brake wire... gl hope this helps

Draft STIP Map
Each mode has developed documentation detailing score results under STI, which are contained in user-friendly spreadsheets with search and sort capabilities.
Criteria summary reports are also available, and define how the project scores were generated for each mode.
STI Mode Scores and Criteria
The Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) Law (House Bill 817) allows the North Carolina Department of Transportation to maximize existing transportation funding to enhance the state's infrastructure and support economic growth, job creation and a higher quality of life.
STI also establishes the Strategic Mobility Formula, a new way of allocating available revenues based on data-driven scoring and local input.
BOT anticipates STIP adoption in June
The Board of Transportation is expected to approve the final 2016-2025 STIP in June, which will be the final step in implementing STI.
The move comes as a result of 10 information sessions in March/April 2015 across the state for the public to ask questions and provide feedback on the Draft 10-Year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The feedback is a critical part in implementing the STI law and developing a final version of the plan.
Feedback from the information sessions will be shared with the Board and used by the Prioritization Workgroup for consideration in the next round of project prioritization, and by NCDOT in the development of the 2018-2027 STIP.
On Dec. 4, NCDOT released its Draft 10-Year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which schedules the projects proposed for full or partial funding across the state in the 2016-2025 STIP. This is one of the final steps toward implementing the new Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law.
The draft document demonstrates that the law is working as intended. It includes a total of nearly 1,100 projects, touching every transportation mode and in every county across the state. It is one of our most comprehensive programs ever and will help improve connectivity, reduce congestion issues, enhance safety and strengthen our highways.
The Benefit: By the Numbers
Under the Strategic Mobility Formula, NCDOT will be able fund 300 more projects and create about 126,000 more jobs than under the old funding formula. This is a 273% increase in highway projects and a 172% increase in jobs compared to the old formula.
Using the new mobility formula over 10 years, NCDOT will fund:
Using the same existing funds, the old formula would have produced:
Other types of projects funded include:
The Draft STIP includes a total of 1,073 projects in all 100 counties across the state because of the new law. For a detailed breakdown of the projects included in the Draft STIP, view this table.
Examples of the critical connections made possible in the Draft STIP by the new mobility formula include:
Several important projects did not score high enough on the statewide level to be funded, but they did cascade down to the regional and division levels. Because of strong local input, they competed successfully for funding on the local level.
Examples include:
The interactive map below shows the projects included in the Draft STIP.
Users should zoom in closely to see projects on the map. Then, they can click on the colored lines or icons to view details about each project via a pop-up window. Those details include a project description and the amount of funding programmed, as well as its STI funding category, where applicable.
Please note: Sign-in is not required to use the map.
On April 17, 2015, Gov. Pat McCrory announced two $1.4 billion bonds for both roads and infrastructure projects across the state.
The highway bond would distribute funding consistent with the Strategic Mobility Formula and would fund 27 highway projects across North Carolina - two of which are already scheduled in the later years of NCDOT's Draft 10-Year Plan.
Bond funding for those projects – in Greensboro and Fayetteville – would allow them to be completed sooner and would make room for new projects in the Draft 10-Year Plan. These two projects are part of the proposed bond because they are ready for construction and meet budget constraints.
The other 25 projects were selected because they meet funding constraints of the bond, are ready for construction and were the next highest-scoring projects under the Strategic Mobility Formula that could not be funded in the Draft 10-Year Plan.
In addition to the highway projects, the bond would also pay for 176 unpaved secondary roads across the state, totaling 113 miles. They are next in priority order that are eligible for paving.
In May 2014, NCDOT released data for nearly 3,100 projects for highway and non-highway modes (Aviation, Rail, Bicycle and Pedestrian, Ferry and Public Transportation) across the state.
An additional 108 major projects are not subject to STI, because they were scheduled for construction before July 1, 2015. We will continue to move forward with those projects.
Both division engineers and MPOs and RPOs established clear methodologies for collecting public input and determining how they were going to assign local input points as required by law. After receiving the point submissions, NCDOT combined the local input points with data-driven technical points to calculate the final score for each project on the regional and division levels. Projects on the statewide level were previously scored using data only.
Then, the department's STIP Unit used the scores along with other factors, including completion of environmental and engineering plans and corridor spending caps, to create the Draft STIP.
North Carolina is one of the fastest-growing states in the country. At the same time, NCDOT's major revenue sources – including the state gas tax and federal fuel tax share, the Highway Use Tax and DMV fees – no longer provide enough funding to pay for all the transportation improvements North Carolina needs to continue to thrive.
STI will allow us to use our existing resources more efficiently and effectively, helping us move forward with important projects to enhance mobility and revitalize communities throughout the state. The new process encourages us to think from a statewide and regional perspective while also providing flexibility to address local needs.
The Strategic Mobility Formula funds projects in three categories:
Projects in this category will receive 30% of the available revenue, shared equally over NCDOT's 14 Transportation Divisions, which are groupings of local counties. Project scores will be based 50% on data and 50% on local rankings by area planning organizations and the NCDOT Transportation Divisions.
Highway projects in this category are analyzed according to three criteria:
This category will receive 30% of available revenue. Projects on this level compete within regions made up of two NCDOT Transportation Divisions, with funding divided among the regions based on population. Data makes up 70% of the project scores in this category. Local rankings will account for the remaining 30%.
Highway projects in this category are analyzed according to four criteria:
This category will receive 40% of available revenue. The project selection process will be based 100% on data.
Highway projects in this category are analyzed according to five criteria:
STI scoring, weights and criteria were developed in 2013 by a broad-based group of transportation professionals and stakeholders, adopted by the N.C. Board of Transportation and reported to the N.C. General Assembly.
NOTE: Statewide Mobility projects are also analyzed separately in the Regional Impact and Division Needs categories and can cascade down to those categories for funding if they are not funded in the Statewide Category. Regional Impact projects can also cascade down to the Division Needs category.
A project's benefit/cost can be improved if funding is provided during the project submission phase through local entity contributions or tolling approved by the local planning organization. In addition, a bonus allocation of up to 50% will be returned to the contributing area for a subsequent project scored through STI.
To provide more flexibility, STI allows regions and divisions to develop alternate criteria tailored to their individual needs. To do so, the Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Rural Planning Organizations and NCDOT Divisions within the region must unanimously agree to the alternate criteria.
Regions made up of NCDOT Divisions 1 and 4 and Divisions 2 and 3 chose to utilize this option and developed alternate Regional Impact and Division Needs criteria.

Removed front panel for access to the back of the soap dispenser. Visually inspected the diespenser, and it looked okay. Ordered new electronic control board and bi-metal fuse from PartsSelect to address the no-power situation. The parts arrived in 2 to 3 days. Once the dishwasher's front panel is again removed, the control board and fuse are right there for easy access. The control board snaps out easily. All attaching wires unplug easily. All the wires are plugged into the new control board. It's easy, and they cannot be mixed up.Snap the control board back into place.The fuse can be unpluged and easily tested with a continuity tester or multimeter.If it's bad,the lead wires are cut, and the new fuse is easily spliced in. Reattached the front panel, and everything worked perfectly.

The dryer was given to me because it did not work. I took it because I knew ours was 20 years old, and not working very well. I brought the dryer home, and diagnosed the problem with my voltmeter. (I hadn't even taken it out of my truck!) Since our dryer was still working at the time, I stored it until ours finally gave out. Then it was just a matter of buying the part to fix it. But I screwed up. The part that it needed had gone up in price, from the time I got it, to the time I needed it. Dummy me! The most valueble item needed to fix any appliance, is a digital voltmeter, with continuity tester. They're cheap, and takes a lot of the quesswork out of the job.
