Thank you for the review! I didn't expect it to have better IQ than MFT's but "Wow".
Samsung is playing so aggressively and that's good. Now, I can't wait to see Sony's response.
I'm curious how well this camera works with adapters. I kept reading about adapters for pentax, Nikon, etc., but would like to see more flushed out details. I know the m4/3 system has alot of followers because of the sheer # of adapters available.
I've read that an upcoming nikon adapter allows for automatic aperture control…anybody have info on any other lens mount?
Good review. Just took a gamble and bought one today. I agree with your comments; a very fine camera. I am selling my Nikon kit!
I don't see any difference in image quality. It seems like because it's a larger sensor, it SHOULD have better image quality, but the author never gave a real comparison, and seemed to just take for granted that the NX does take better pictures without investigation.
My comparisons say otherwise, that they're similar.
In the side-by-sides I've seen, the GF1 gives up to one stop faster shutter speed than the NX10 at the same ISO, aperture and final brightness. So ISO 1600 on the GF1 is doing the same job as ISO 3200 on the NX10. When considering this, it seems the IQ advantage of the NX10 is not particularly big.
Forgot to add, the GH1 has the by far best Micro Four Thirds sensor. It would probably beat the NX10 on IQ. But it's expensive due to its high-end kit lens.
Hi Mark, as a mirrorless camera nut who now owns one camera from each brand - Olympus E-P2, Panasonic GF-1, and now the NX10, I am actually surprised by the overexuberant nature of your image quality conclusions regarding the latter ;-)
To say that the image quality of the NX10 is superior over the MFT cameras is patently inaccurate ("While the results from the NX10 are clearly a step above the MFT cameras, you will have to compromise on the size of the camera system.")
If anything, I am surprised at how poor the out of camera jpegs look for a current 14.1MP camera with a larger sensor than the 4/3 one found on the MFT models. The JPEGs from my NX10 look clean up to ISO800, but the noise reduction is overly aggressive - fine details are destroyed even at the lower ISOs. And then if you start comparing the RAWs, all three cameras are pretty much similar. High ISO noise wise, I give the edge to the Olympus PEN - the GF-1 and then the NX10 in that order. The E-P2 has better looking noise with more details still visible. There's also a certain 'coherentness' to the Olympus images that both the Panny and the Samsung lacks.
Samsung's line that their APS-C sensor is larger and hence (automatically) superior is not reflected in actual real world performance in my experience. Their execution is actually quite disappointing.
And then there's the issue of movie capture. Two things: The NX-10 movie quality is really pretty much so-so with very poor noise control. Second, the'jello-effect' for movie recording due to the rolling shutter effect is a lot more apparent with the NX10. Yes I know that this issue plagues lots of CMOS type cameras but the 4/3 sensor in both the E-P2 and the GF-1 shows way less of this funny look than the NX10. I am surprised you didn't point that out since HD movie recording is amongst one of the reasons many people would buy these new fangled cameras.
I am not returning my Samsung just yet because I am not sure if later firmware can improve these issues (I sincerely hope so), but I give the image quality lead to the E-P2 and then the GF-1. I might sell the E-P2 and pick up the new E-PL1.
Rgds, John
Just what everybody needs; another propriatary lens mount. This camera should have offered stereo sound as well.
Good Review - Thanks
I presume the focal lengths quoted on the sample images are 35mm equivalents and that "308mm" is actually 200mm at the long end of the 55-200mm zoom. For a low cost lens (at least when bought as part of a twin lens kit) the sharpness looks excellent to my untrained eyes. Can anyone else with experience of these kind of zooms comment?
When do you have a complete review on the new Olympus SP-800UZ that has a 30x zoom? I'm thinking on buying it, in Portugal around 310 eurosa nd will arrive in the end of March, but haven't read yet to many expert reviews on this new Olympus Bridge ... Can someone assist me on this please? Thanks.

The Smart Range feature noticeably increases the visible detail in both shadow and highlight areas, as shown in the example below
is not born out by the images labelled "On" and "Off" below.
I am tossing up between this and the new Olympus E-PL1.
For NX10:
1. Price
2. Really good AMOLED screen
3. Built-in EVF
4. Supposedly better picture quality
5. More DOF control
1. This camera is big for something without a mirror box - I already have a DSLR. I don't want another DSLR looking camera or DSLR sized camera. It's sized like a D40
2. Poor Jpegs. The only decent shots I have seen so far are NX10 raws processed with Lightroom. I am not interested in raw processing and the associated time and tedium. My DSLR gives me all that hassle already!
3. No BIS (built in stabiliser). That darn pancake 30mm isn't even stabilised. Lens become bigger, point of having no mirror becomes lost.
4. Looks like a DSLR. Heck, if I want a camera that looks like a DSLR, I might as well go buy one. Oh wait! I already have one. Give me something without that pretend-pentaprism hump.
I hope Samsung does better. The more brands making cameras means more choices for you and me. But this first attempt from Samsung is really just pretty average IMO.
Will I now buy an Olympus. Hmm, I am waiting for you to review it Mark!
I agree completely with you John : "noise reduction is overly aggressive - fine details are destroyed"
And I don't like this kind of assertion : "because the sensor is larger, quality is necessarily better".
Quality is what you SEE on real pictures, not what you THINK. Theory is one thing, reality is sometimes different.
The NX10 seems to be a good camera but :
- Its image quality is not astounding on these samples. Its theoretical superiority in high ISO is not visible.
- no anti-shake in the camera body, hence with the 30mm pancake
Regarding the comment that the Samsung focus speed is on par with the Panasonic G series, I kindly direct you to the below link:
Interesting review but I would include the Sigma DP2s as a potential rival, at least compared to the NX10+pancake.
Erik said "Forgot to add, the GH1 has the by far best Micro Four Thirds sensor. It would probably beat the NX10 on IQ. But it's expensive due to its high-end kit lens."
That's not my findings. I own both GH1, EP1 and NX10 and also had GF1. Overall, the NX is slightly better in IQ than the GH1 and all the other m4/3s. Don't nail the exposure spot-on with the GH1 at ISO1600 and you will get horrible banding. Even the EP1 can show hints of it at times. No such problem with NX if you screw up exposure. The NX has better color and DR especially in jpeg against the Pannys. Like with the GF1, you are nearly forced to have to shoot raw to get the most from the GH1 and spend extra time processing. Not so with NX10 as jpegs are excellently sharp and well detailed with great DR in "smart range" and requires minimal PP. And the NR at high ISOs in jpeg with NX that people moan about is overblown. It is no worse than the competition and I could show you jpegs from loads of other cameras that lose detail to NR in jpeg over raw, even with NR adjusted to low.
Also, you don't tell us how your calculations about the GF1 being 1EV in better sensitivity derived from. Well it came from one set of amateur photos posted from a total novice on a forum. I suggest you go play or buy either camera to get *proper* facts. My GF1 only gave just over 1/3ev more sensitivity over EP1 just like along the lines that DPR tested. My NX is the same as the EP1 in exposure/sensitivity. I suggest you wait for proper testing in sensitivity (like from a DPR review) or else *actually* go use the cams in question instead of sitting on the sidelines and uttering total nonsense on various forums based on some novice's amateur photographs.
Also, you fail to mention (like the review did here) that a Panny 20mm f1.7 + kit lens with any m4/3s body will cost you a few hundred more. I bought the NX + 18-55 + 30mm for €620 to my door from Jessops. I paid as much for a EP1 and kit lens, with the 20mm being an extra €350 over the odds to have the same set up as the NX10.
One big disappointment here - the Samsung outght to have included on the NX10 a manual focus "assist", wherein the electronic viewfinder zooms in on a portion of the image to allow more precise manual focusing. The sensor certainly has the resolution to easily accommodate a 4x linear magnification.
Perhaps this could be provided via a firmware upgrade?
The NX10 actually has a manual focus "assist", wherein the electronic viewfinder zooms in on a portion of the image to allow more precise manual focusing.
I bought one (as a cheaper, more portable backup to a Nikon D3). It's a wonderful little camera, the jpgs are terrific up to about ISO800. It's traditionally styled which I actually don't like but the payoff is superb handling. Significantly cheaper than the GF-1 or Pen EP-2, and the integrated viewfinder while not exactly high definition does the job far more discreetly than the horrendous bolt on versions on these 4/3 cameras. The 30mm is a superb lens. Way to go Samsung!
The sample photos all seem devoid of any CA. Is this because this is a particularly good lens or is CA removal done in the camera. Do the raw photos show any CA? Unfortunately I don't have a raw converter that read the NX10 files or I'd be able to answer this myself. I appreciate your supplying raw photos for cameras that have been reviewed.
Just passed by. But I am having trouble of using SRW RAW. I tried to make thing simple and have convert it into TIFF before edit it in Photoshop. There is no noise reduction in the Silkypix and just with an unsharp mask from the TIFF convertion process. I can only squeeze some finer detail from the TIFF comparing with the compressed JPEG. Now I understand why Samsung used to postpone the launching of NX10. The image quality is not satisfying if you used to pixel peep. But the colour is good. I hope she goes back to DNG since SRW shows nothing of technical merit. May be the converter is the one to give damn.
It seems that the NX10 will not operate with an adapter. I machined a micro 4/3rds adapter to fit, but the NX refuses to fire. Has anyone tried this? Are adapters available that will allow the shutter to function?
Novaflex in Germany staes: 'All adapters for Samsung NX cameras will be available from end of April'.
Thanks for the review, Mark!
I am quite intrigued by the 'full' APS-C size, comparing with the PEN and GF toys. (oops) However I am definitely basing my decision on any adapters they will be adding to the line. Because:
1. Obviously I get to use all my other lens.
2. Don't see Nikon or Canon coming up with a Mirrorless system soon.
3. Perfect for light travel, and as quick second body on full-equipped days.
Your review will provide a great baseline for my decision (as always)! Thanks.
Ah, in return, since you were looking for a snappier name, I have one for you.
EVIL - which is well accepted in Asia, and actually published on media including prints.
Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens
- that would snap!?
Your review is very fair and comprehensive. I have been quite impressed by my NX10 30mm f2.0 so far - I am not so sure that the telephoto lenses would have been so positive.
Its a very good first try and I am sure a more up-market rangefinder style body will eventuate at some stage.
Meanwhile I agree that EVIL is a great and logical)acronym. It is already used by many and is not the same as 'Evil' which has caused some hesitation by the timid.
Thanks for the review, which helped me decide to buy the NX.
I sold my Nikon DSLR, had a brief flirtation with the Panasonic GF1 and then bought the NX - no regrets.
The more powerful flash, superb rear LCD that can still be read in full sun and the bigger sensor were my reasons for buying.
For those who question the abilit of the sensor, I feel (a) the camera gives excellent results (b) I am buying into a system and I expect over a short time, new bodies and better technology will undermine the points that concerrn people.
The only area of weakness that I have found is that there is some shutter lag when I use the 55-200mm for wildlife shots and this is noticable, because my DSLR was instant, but I would still rather have the NX than my DSLR simply for reasons of portability.
it is the 30mm lens that makes this body so usable, high image quality for a relatively small package - I see the bigger lenses simply as tool to make my system more flexible (i.e the 55-200mm would go to the zoo).
Using an auto focus based on contrast, I think the most important part of the learning curve is to understand what size focus area would best serve your shot, Recently I photographed the outside tap, but could not get the hand tap in focus, I then reduced the focu area to its smallest value and it immediately locked onto the rusty retaining screw on the top of the tap and gave a lovely crisp shot, full of detail.
Great camera, the samples don´t have the "digital Look" of the micro 4/3 cameras. They are smooth with lot of detail.
Pictures taken with the 50-200 are outstanding, very, very sharp, sharper than Panasonic 45-200 and 14-140.
Going to give this a try, especially since it's available for £400 at amazon.co.uk.
Just wish it had a tilting screen, as the 8 minute bulb setting will allow superb star-trail photographs.
From the past I have an experience with SLR Canon, hybrid camera- Fuji S7000 and for few last years I used Pentax istDS (DSLR camera).
I red this review than compared samples to others from different cameras and I decided mainly due to promotion ->30 mm for very low price.
After first two days of testing I have my first impression.
NX10 is faster than my old istDS in poor lighting (that camera always tried to use flash to help in focusing it was frustrating) and precise! No problems with front/back focus.
30 mm is very sharp in the centre also good out of the frame centre. No abberations problems.
I dit photo of my cat - every hair is visble you can count it!
In action scenes contrast AF of NX10 is slower than phaze detection of DSLR but I think it is matter of experience with camera.
Fine detail in jpgs? I can confirm this NR problem but it is visible on 100% screen view (I use 1920x1200 screen) so who cares?
Developped RAW without NR is very sharp (when 30 mm on F4 was used) and on 50% magnifying is visible much more detail than from jpg. But than I can't see whole 14 MP picture!
The colors? Everything is possible in PP so I don't care. WB also works for jpgs in software based on Silky Pix..
Kit lens I haven't tested yet because I love this 30 mm (46mm eqv) F2:) I did only few samples with kit 18-55 sand in my opinion it is similar to Pentax kit , so it is good.
What remarks? Mainly to firmware.
In new f. version I'd like to have option of ISO range setting for AutoISo option and minimum shutter speed limit to help in action scenes - move freezing issue f.e. to avoid longer shutter speeds than 1/125s.
I'd like to have ISO indication on screen's bottom line with time/aperture values also in ISO auto mode. In scenes menu there is not sport program - it is in smart IA setting but not always it works…
Why I bought this camera?
Because for me loooks perfect - I dont need bulky camera but its quality YES - (using Nikon D90+18-105+flash my hand was very tired). For trips NX10 is perfect for me. I'm waiting for megazoom 18-200 lens now. I have also manual lens for K-mount system so maybye adapter will be useful but as far I know there is not view magnifying when adapter is used
Magnification of view in MF mode could be done via the button (request for Samsung software engineers).
OK this is not perfect camera but very nice and it can be improoved. Now it has good price too.
I wish this NX system will develop with good lens in attractive prices.
My proposal (not mentioned in Samsung plans) is zoom 17-50 F2,8 and 10-20mm.
The camera with 30 mm lens fixed, can be placed into the pocket and when used, it can deliver DSLR picture quality and using comfort, this is the most wonderful thing for this camera owner.
Greetings for NX owners.
I love this camera! I've sold this camera many times, and everybody was exited with it!
I also made a little test and compared it to the Olympus E-pl1:
hello i want to buy this camera or nikon cp p100.. can anybody help me which one i should choose?
Had this now for a week, absolutely love it, high photo quality has been covered elsewhere, just like to say I'm still tracking the competition out of habit, and every time I think "Oh, maybe I could have made another choice", logic still leads me back to the NX10, ticking all the boxes for me -
Sony NEX - Cute design, but no evf, no built-in flash (though supplied in kit and unobtrusive when installed), more expensive;
Samsung NX100 - Smaller but no evf (£optional), no built-in flash (£optional), 20-50mm kit-lens no OIS;
Panasonic G10 - Cheaper than the NX10, but body thicker than NX10, not as ergonomically sound as the NX10, smaller sensor, additional lenses very expensive;
Olympus E-PL1 - Cute and user friendly functions, but no EVF (£optional), smaller screen, still more expensive, about to be superceded by E-PL2 (fixes a lot of basic E-PL1 minus-points like screen-size, function dial) which will not be discounted for ages;
Samsung NX11 - Coming soon - The NX10's replacement, but an evolution rather than a revolution - effectively same body as the NX10, some additions to functionality eg sweep panorama - but as a new model it won't be discounted for ages!
So in summary the NX10 has pretty much the full package for me, enough flexibility in terms of (current and future-release) lenses, and currently offers excellent value for money (£350 at Jacobs, and includes a camera bag!)
Check out PC World for an amazing offer on the 50-200mm NX mount lens - It's now £70! Get it get it!
Compare that to the £200+ that the rivals are charging for their zoom equivalents!
App the price cut is because Samsung are releasing new lenses including direct replacements for the 18-55 and 50-200, but all w i-function. Only the 30mm isn't getting a direct replacement so pricing remains firm boo…Instead they're bringing out one or two more wide-angle pancakes with i-function.
I'm a newbie, so please take this criticism with a grain of salt, but the sample images seem sort of dull and lacking in color compared to other cameras' images that I've seen. Perhaps these images weren't a good representative sample.
Samsung D-XENON 50-200 4-5.6 ED is it compatible with samsung nx10 ? without adapter ?
Tell em i am interested in purchasing one..
weather I have to go for NX10 or E-Pl1 or G1 ...i am thinking of E-PL1 as its cheaper among the three..but I got tempted with NX10 APS-C Sensor..
Whaich one I Should prefer??
As a wedding photographer I'm used to carrying two large dslr on me for about 10 hours. So when it's my free time, something like the NX10 would be wecome for my back.
I have had an NX10 for over a year now and love it. I have the standard 18-55 and the 55-200. My question o anyone/everyone is can you get lenses not made by Samsung and use them in my NX10. I really want to get hold of a 18-200mm for a travelling trip coming up…I have seen Samsung now have one at £649 however I would like to see if I can get one cheaper.
There is no comparison with apsc and m43 sesnors when it comes to mid range iso's. all you have t do is push the shadow areas of the pictures and you will see that m43 picture quality falls apart big time. The problem with m43 is that even in the low iso's the image looks coarse or compressed grainality. the apsc sensor in the samung is juch more detailed and smooth in lower isos. Not to mention that the nx10 nx100 has a thicvker aa filter. One gentlemen from japan on youtube tinkered around with his nx100 and took the whol aa filter right off, and the images he took with or without the aa filter off was astounding. The nx100 kit lens is known to be a superb kit zoom lens but you dont know how good it is until you take that aa filter off the nx100 and 10's. I hear the filter is thinner on the nx200 and nx1000 so the quality will be better.

My recent article about our visit to Bayeux, France, and the Normandy beaches received enthusiastic responses from a number of interested people. The next stop on this railroad trip in France was at Mont Saint Michele, an island six tenths of a mile off the coast encompassing considerable history and architectural appeal.
It is an island of 247 acres, 301 feet high at its highest point and about 3,000 feet in circumference. From the mainland, it looks like a monument built to the Middle Ages. Cars and buses use a manmade causeway to reach it. It is completely surrounded by water at high tide, except for the causeway. Some people have been known to walk on the tidal flats around it at low tide, getting rescued at best and drowned at worst when the tides came in at a rapid pace.
The island has some similarity to the huge granite "stacks" remaining after resisting the tides for thousands of years off the shores of the Oregon coast. Upon first seeing it, it gives one the idea of a mythical fairyland and a taste of medieval mystery.
We arrived by train at Pontorson on the mainland, the nearest station to the causeway, and took a cab from there to the island.
It was June and the weather was fine and all the small shops there were crowded. They offered everything from fine French china to touristy souvenirs. The street that we followed was cobblestone and hard to walk on pulling our rolling suitcases. We read that there are 3 million tourists a year on the island, and it seemed that they were all there that day. Not withstanding the shoppers, we still enjoyed looking at the shops' wares and the architecture.
We located the hotel where we had made reservations for overnight. Most visitors come only during the daytime; we chose to stay overnight for a two-day visit after reading Rick Steves' book, "Europe Through the Back Door."
Mont Saint Michele was built, in a sense, from the top down. First came the Benedictine monastery and abbey built on Roman ruins at the top of the island in the 700s, said to be one of the most remarkable examples of mediaeval religious architecture and one of Christianity's most important pilgrimage sites from the 8th to the 18th century.
Next came the great halls, the work and study areas of the monastery, built in the middle ages. Further down on the island are the stores, hotels and houses of the permanent residents, only 50 or so presently. Surrounding all this are the massive stone walls and fortifications representing the military action of years gone by.
Inside these battlements, we found our hotel, the Croix Blanch, and checked in uneventfully. Our room was nice though small, with a private bath, and looked over the city walls to the tidal flats beyond.
Dinner on the deck adjacent to the hotel dining room was memorable. A seafood platter containing fish with names unfamiliar to us but delicious to eat, cool summer breezes now that the sun was going down, conversation with a young American man at the next table all contributed to the ambiance. The young man was traveling alone through France on his motorcycle, and we judged he wanted our companionship for this evening. So we all walked up the hill together as night was falling into a place my wife had always wanted to visit.
The abbey in the twilight was beautiful, mystical and spiritual. Medieval music was playing all through the dark halls. Candles were glowing and you could imagine the presence of long gone monks gliding about the tall stone columns. My wife says it was the most romantic, evocative place she's ever been.
It had been a long trip from London through the Chunnel to the farmland of northern France to Paris and then with a change of stations, to Caen and then Pontorson and finally to the Island, but it was worth it. As blogger Dr. Kurt Buzard said, "If I could imagine a piece of heaven on earth I think this is what it would look like."

Dave Brubeck loved Buffalo, and Buffalo loves him back. The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra pays tribute to the late, great jazzman by welcoming the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, which features Brubeck's sons Chris (on bass and trombone) and Dan (on drums). They will play hits like "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" – and to complete the picture, they'll be welcoming, as a special guest, Bobby Militello. Militello played many times with Brubeck, and surely Brubeck's spirit will not be far away. Militello performs also at the post-concert party. In tribute to Brubeck's formative years on a California ranch, the Whole Hog Food Truck will be on hand.
The BPO's Tribute to Dave Brubeck takes place at 7 p.m. Friday in Kleinhans Music Hall. Admission is $19-$49. For info, call 885-5000.

Miley Cyrus has stirred up controversy once again with behavior usually reserved for adults.
The 16-year-old performed a pole dance while singing "Party in the USA" at the Teen Choice Awards, which were telecast Monday night.
Not only did she gyrate and drop low on the makeshift stripper pole, which was perched atop an ice cream cart, but her attire — short shorts and an exposed bra — definitely gave the viewers a show. She did not, however, take off any clothes or troll the audience for tips.
Check out Miley's dance and other best and worst moments from the Teen Choice Awards.
This isn't the first time that Cyrus has been criticized for actions that may not be appropriate for her impressionable young fans. Previously, racy photos of her with an exposed bra were leaked on the Internet, and another time she posed for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in nothing but a sheet.

From Fruits to Financial Services: What Can Supermarket Behaviour Tell Us About the Future of Banking?
Colin Ellis
University of Birmingham
September 3, 2010
Journal of Financial Transformation, Vol. 29, pp. 131-136, September 2010
With the global financial sector still recovering from the worst financial crisis in living memory, there is plenty of scope for new competitors to enter the market, or for smaller operations to seize market share. In the U.K., some of these competitors are likely to be supermarkets, which already have a toe-hold in the market. But supermarkets behave very differently to banks in other regards, so what impact might this have on the financial sector? This paper examines supermarket behavior — pricing and sales, in particular — and considers if there are any lessons for the financial sector.

Daylight Savings Time: 5 Things to Do With That Extra HourStephanie Precourt
I look forward to this day every year, when we — along with most of the country — fall back one hour to return to standard time as Daylight Savings ends. Yes, I'll eventually complain about how early the sun sets, but oh that glorious extra hour tonight!
I've got a handful of ideas for that bonus sixty minutes…
1. Sleep – I'll just get right to the point. This is probably the best way to spend any free time, especially if you are a parent no matter what age your child is. Period.
2. Read – Finally crack open or finish that book you've been meaning to read. This might help you achieve #1.
3. Actually watch Saturday Night Live on Saturday night – I can't remember the last time I watched the show live instead of online a couple days later. (And I checked — it is live tonight with host Charlie Day and musical guest Maroon 5. You're welcome.)
4. Game or movie night with the kids – Let them go stay up later and pile on the couch for a family flick or gather around the table for a board game. Make a mental note-to-self to do this more often than just during the yearly time change.
5. Alone time with your better half – You know what I'm talking about. A foot rub and massage fit in nicely as well.
What will you do with your extra hour?

When Gov. Christie won reelection by a landslide in November, some Republican leaders and many independent analysts deified him as they parsed the New Jersey exit polls.
Savior of his party!
Not only had Christie won overwhelmingly in a blue state, but he had earned a majority of votes of Hispanics and women, two groups that the national GOP recently has had trouble attracting, the poll found. That raised his stock even more as the very early front-runner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
Yet last week, even before he had been sworn in for his second term, Christie was fighting a threat to his White House aspirations after leaked e-mails showed that top advisers orchestrated a shutdown of local access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, apparently to smite the Democratic mayor of nearby Fort Lee for refusing to endorse the governor.

These gas estimates are significantly more than the last USGS assessment of the Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin in 2002, which estimated a mean of about 2 trillion ft3 of gas and 0.01 billion barrels of natural gas liquids.
The increase in undiscovered, technically recoverable resource is due to new geologic information and engineering data, as technological developments in producing unconventional resources have been significant in the last decade.
This USGS assessment is an estimate of continuous gas and natural gas liquid accumulations in the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin. The estimate of undiscovered natural gas ranges from 43.0 to 144.1 trillion ft3 (95% to 5% probability, respectively), and the estimate of natural gas liquids ranges from 1.6 to 6.2 billion barrels (95% to 5% probability, respectively). There are no conventional petroleum resources assessed in the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin.
These new estimates only cover technically recoverable resources, which can be tapped using currently available technology and practices, these estimates include reserves both onshore and offshore and beneath areas which are not accessible due to regulatory measures.
The Marcellus Shale assessment covered areas in Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The previous Marcellus Shale assessment can be found online.

Armed with a shovel under a very warm morning sun, Ivanna Flores, a freshman majoring in nursing at The University of Texas-Pan American, was working hard to clear the planting beds April 17 at the Veterans War Memorial of Texas in McAllen.
Volunteering for the first time in the University's annual United To Serve project, she was one of 75 students, staff and faculty who gave up their Saturday to help clean and beautify the five acre park adjacent to the McAllen Convention Center. The memorial is dedicated to honoring the more than 1.3 million Americans killed and missing in action in all the nation's wars and conflicts.
"I thought it would be really neat to come out here and support other veterans. He is returning in August and would be very proud of me doing this because I don't usually go out and 'dig,'" Flores said.
Working with Flores was Shaney Flores (no relation), a senior majoring in psychology and English, who has participated in past United to Serve projects.
"That feeling of having done something good through all your efforts is a prime motivator for me being out here. I feel empowered and I feel I have benefited my community and that gives me a great feeling and a sense of community as well," he said.
During the daylong project, the tasks tackled by the volunteers, the majority of which were students, included sorting and stacking more than 6,000 bricks from a brickyard onto pallets, trimming and pruning trees, clearing and planting landscaping beds, refinishing the park's statues and granite benches, and airbrushing old memorial pavers where the engraved names were no longer visible.
Held in conjunction with National Volunteer Week, this year April 18-24, the United to Serve initiative was started in 2004 by The University of Texas System to engage students, administrators, faculty and staff in a community project to benefit the 15 plus communities where UT System institutions are located.
Erica Lopez, program coordinator of the Community Service Connection in UTPA's Office of Student Life and Transition Services, said many of the university's students look for ways to volunteer and give back to the community. This particular project was chosen because it targets veterans, Lopez said.
"Veterans are a population who are extremely important to us as a community and sometimes they are overlooked. This is a way to give back in a small way to those who have served our country," she said.
Lopez said the project was organized and conducted in cooperation with Keep McAllen Beautiful and the City of McAllen's Parks and Recreation Department, Public Works Department and the Convention Center. The volunteers from UTPA also worked with the Veterans War Memorial of Texas all volunteer staff including its president retired U.S. Army Colonel Frank Plummer and its site coordinator Eddy Callahan.
Brad Bentsen, City of McAllen parks superintendent, said the city welcomes volunteers to help maintain the site and was amazed about the amount of work that was accomplished by the students.
"This is the first time to have a group this size to come and work here. Giving up their time on Saturday morning says a lot," he said.
Lopez said arrangements are already set for another volunteer group from UTPA to help install the flags that will fly at a Memorial Day ceremony planned at the park. Students who would like to participate can contact the Community Service Connection at 956/381-2659.
The memorial, which has been underway since the 1990s, includes five war sites - World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War and an All Wars site. More than 100 granite panels tell stories on each of the conflicts and a number of statues, all created by Doug Clark, a sculptor and part-time lecturer in UTPA's art department, provide a human face. The statute "The Warrior," for example, commemorates the 3,440 Medal of Honor recipients in the U.S. Armed Forces. The memorial relies totally on donations provided by community supporters. Memorial bricks and pavers are available to commemorate loved ones within the memorial site. More information is available at www.mcallen.net/veterans.
As they wrapped up their assigned job for the day of landscaping work, the members of UTPA's Student Veterans Organization formed recently to help students who are veterans transition to campus life and the services available to them, felt pleased with their participation in the United To Serve project. Yoli Munoz, a sophomore majoring in communication disorders, said one of the organization's goals is to do things to help the community but this project was special to them. Munoz is a four-year veteran of the U.S. Navy who served on the USS George Washington off the coast of Iraq.
"This park is extraordinary. This memorial recognizes men and women who have given so much for their country. It is nice to know we have something here in the Valley for our veterans," she said.

Dogs and cats that eat or chew on shells from walnuts, pecans and other hard nuts that your bird may toss on the ground can suffer from lacerated gums, choking or obstructions. The nuts themselves may cause gastroenteritis and gas. A few peanuts do not seem to cause problems, but eating peanut shells may result in digestive tract issues.
Bedding and cage substrate always seems to end up on the floor. Dogs, cats and other household pets may suffer indigestion or blockages from eating cage tray litter, including aspen, paper, corn cob or walnut shell products. If droppings or discarded food are contained within the litter, other problems may arise.
Dried hot peppers are common ingredients in bird seed mixes. If eaten by your dog or cat, or if particles from the peppers are inhaled or come in contact with the eyes, irritation of eye, mouth, nose and digestive system may result.
Citrus fruit, especially with skin, may cause diarrhea and vomiting in cats and dogs. Citrus oil extracts, often used in cleaning or natural pest control products can be harmful to dogs and especially to cats if ingested.
Salty, sugary or greasy popcorn isn't good for your bird, but even plain popcorn hulls can get stuck in your furry friend's gums or throat and/or they can cause digestive upsets or obstructions.
Sunflower and other seeds can get stuck in your dog or cat's gums or mouth or cause digestive tract problems. Millet stems can also result in gum/mouth injuries or digestive issues.
Chewed or broken-off pieces from your bird's toys, including wood, plastic, metal parts and bits from rope toys, can cause oral lacerations and digestive tract obstructions if your dog or cat swallows a piece. Dogs are more prone to chewing on hard toy remnants, while cats more frequently chew and swallow threads from rope toys. Feathers from toys or even molted feathers from your bird may cause obstructions if eaten in quantity by cats or dogs.
Moldy or spoiled food may cause fungal infections, vomiting, diarrhea or food poisoning. Aflatoxins and mycotoxins may also be present in moldy grain or seed. These are also harmful to birds. Proper food storage and daily cage tray cleaning can help prevent spoilage and the development of mold.
Palm nuts are another keep-away item. I didn't find specific, accredited research about palm nuts, but anecdotal reports have described dogs choking, vomiting and having diarrhea after eating or chewing on assorted varieties of palm nuts.
What about bird food pellets? Although not formulated for dogs or cats, eating a small amount of pellets won't, in most cases, be problematic for your furry companion. Colored pellets may tint feces some alarming shades, but, barring food allergies and overeating, pellets are usually harmless. "I've never seen any problems from dogs eating bird pellets. They all do!" said board-certified avian veterinarian Robert Monaco of the Old Country Animal Clinic in Plainview, New York.

Severity scores are helpful in predicting mortality in patients presenting with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). They enable physicians to decide their management strategies and site of care according to the expected mortality risk. In Europe, most cases of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) and CAP are managed in primary care settings by general practitioners (GPs). However, most severity scores have been derived and validated in a hospital setting.
The best accepted tools to discriminate patients with CAP into high or low risk are the CURB-65 score (confusion, serum urea nitrogen level >19.6 mg/dL [to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.357], respiratory rate ≥30/min, low blood pressure, and age ≥65 years) and the Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI).1,2 The CURB-65 score consists of 5 easily accessible data, while the PSI includes many tests that are not accessible in primary care. This latter score is therefore not useful for the GP. Recently, several studies evaluated the CURB-65 score and confirmed its validity, but validation was not yet done in an unselected primary care population.3- 9
A modification of the CURB-65 score, the CRB-65 score, is recommended by GPs in the communities where serum urea nitrogen measurements are often unavailable. It is expected to support GP judgment in stratifying patients into different management groups, ranging from home treatment to urgent hospital admission (Figure).1 This management model seems unlikely to be practical in a primary care population because it recommends hospital referral for a score of 1 or higher and thus for all patients older than 65 years (Figure). We therefore conducted a study to evaluate the validity of the CRB-65 score in primary care.
Severity assessment by the CRB-65 score used to determine the management of community-acquired pneumonia in patients in the community.1
Between November 2005 and May 2006, Dutch GPs prospectively included patients with CAP who were 65 years or older. Community-acquired pneumonia was diagnosed on the basis of the presence of 1 or more features, including new localizing signs present during chest examination, new infiltrates on a chest radiograph, or when the GP had a strong suspicion of the patient having CAP because of severe dyspnea in a very ill patient, even in the absence of chest signs. This third criterion for CAP was chosen because it equates to usual practice in daily primary care, thus ensuring the generalizability of study results.
Patients were not included in the study if they were known to have lung cancer, a hematologic malignant neoplasm, or an infection with the human immunodeficiency virus; used immunosuppressive medication (except prednisone); had been hospitalized during the 2 weeks preceding the diagnosis; or were nursing home residents.
Data, including all CRB items and age, were collected prospectively at the same time as the index consultation, when diagnosis and management was decided. The CRB-65 rule is scored on the presence of the following: confusion, respiratory rate 30/min or higher, low blood pressure (systolic blood pressure <90 or diastolic blood pressure ≤60 mm Hg), and age 65 years or older. The main outcome measure was 30-day mortality.
Descriptive statistics included frequencies, percentages, and means. We examined the accuracy of the CRB-65 rule in episodes of CAP using SPSS version 12.1 for Windows (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illinois), with 30-day mortality as the outcome. Positive predictive value, negative predictive value), sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated and compared with the original study of Lim et al.1 Next, the mortality for different CRB-65 scores was determined. We also calculated the correlation between the individual CRB-65 scores and referral patterns.
The study population comprised 315 elderly patients (mean age, 77.3 years) who lived at home and were diagnosed as having CAP. Of these, the diagnosis for 17 patients was only on the basis of a strong suspicion of having pneumonia (third diagnostic criterion). In 119 patients, a chest radiograph was present, with 50 showing infiltrates. One patient was lost to follow-up and was excluded from the analysis. Forty-seven patients (15%) were hospitalized and 11 (3.5%) died within 30 days (Table 1). Mortality was 4% in patients with a chest radiograph. Of the patients, 89% were treated initially by the GP with antibiotics, 7% were referred to hospital immediately, and 4% did not receive antimicrobial treatment nor were they referred immediately (none of these 14 patients died within 30 days).
By comparison with the original study by Lim et al,1 a similar trend was found in the association between the CRB-65 score and 30-day mortality, although none of our patients had a score of 0 (since they were all 65 years or older) or a high score of 4 (Table 2). The test characteristics of the CRB-65 score in our study, taking a cutoff score of 2 or higher, were very much similar to that of the original cohort (Table 3). Also, the discriminative value was good (area under receive operating characteristic curve, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.65-0.92).
Patients with a score of 1 (73%) had a low mortality rate of 0.9%, suggesting that they may be suitable for usual home management. A score of 2 or higher was associated with a much higher mortality rate (11%), suggesting patients required either close monitoring at home or hospital referral (Table 2). This is not in agreement with the site of care decision recommended in the British Thoracic Society guidelines10,11 and the study by Lim et al1 (Figure).
In our study cohort, only 23 patients (7.3%) with pneumonia were referred to the hospital. Of the 230 patients with a score of 1, only 9 were referred to the hospital and the remainder were treated at home. Two patients (0.9%) died, both in the home-managed group. Only 7 patients with a CRB-65 score of 3 were referred to the hospital, and of the other 16 patients treated at home, 2 (13%) died (Table 4).
When using a score of 2 or higher to indicate high risk, our study showed that the CRB-65 score has similar accuracy in predicting 30-day mortality in elderly primary care patients compared with the original study of Lim et al1 including patients of all ages in a hospital setting. Thus, our study shows that in an elderly primary care population, the cutoff for considering hospital referral can be increased to a score of 2 or higher. This does not imply that all such patients should be referred to a hospital. Referral also depends on other adverse prognostic features, social circumstances, and wishes of the patient, as well as the availability of close health monitoring at home. Whether referral to a hospital will decrease mortality rates in high-risk patients with CAP is even not entirely clear. In our study, most patients with an elevated risk were not referred. Whether the mortality rate would be lower if they would have been sent to a hospital is unknown.
The results from this study differ somewhat from other validation studies. In particular, the a priori probability of 30-day mortality was lower than in previous validation studies (3.5% vs 4.3% to 14%).1,3- 6,8,12 In these earlier studies, however, mixed groups of referred and nonreferred patients with probably a higher risk for complications were studied. Another possible explanation for the low mortality could be that bacterial resistance rates are low in the Netherlands. However, overall Dutch mortality rates for CAP are not lower compared with those in countries with higher resistance rates.13
Discrimination between different kinds of LRTI is difficult in primary care because pulmonary radiography and laboratory tests are not routinely carried out. We chose to include CAP without radiographic evidence to follow daily GP practice more accurately. Although it seems that differentiation between CAP and acute bronchitis is more difficult without radiography, the prognosis of these 2 forms of LRTI was very different in our whole study, with a mortality rate of 3.5% in patients with CAP and 0.2% for those with acute bronchitis. Because death in acute bronchitis was very infrequent, using the CRB-65 score as a predictor of 30-day mortality in acute bronchitis was not useful. New studies should focus on predicting other unfavorable outcomes, apart from death, in a broader range of LRTIs.
In conclusion, the simple CRB-65 severity assessment tool accurately identifies low-risk patients in an elderly primary care population and suggests that age alone is not a sufficient reason to classify patients as high risk. Patients with a score of 2 or higher have an increased risk and should be intensively monitored, for example, by reconsultation within 24 to 48 hours or should be referred to secondary care. Because mortality rates are low in primary care, new studies should focus on less severe outcomes.

Rioters, angry over France's ban on Islamic veils for women, torched about 20 cars in a Paris suburb this weekend.
French police say about 50 attackers were involved in one rampage Saturday night in the town of Elancourt. Some of the rioters fought the police as others burned cars, garbage, and public property.
On Friday night about 250 people clashed with police in the town of Trappes, also protesting the Islamic veil ban.
The violence began after a group of residents gathered at the police station Friday to protest the arrest of a man whose wife was ticketed for wearing an Islamic face veil.
Officials say the husband had tried to strangle the officer who was doing the ticketing.
France has barred face veils since 2011. Proponents of the ban argue the veil oppresses women and contradicts France's principles of secularism, which are enshrined in the constitution.

Please press STOP for 3 seconds to monitor the voltage of each cell to see if there is any difference between the displayed voltage and measured voltage? If different, please check if the battery balance port, the wire from balance board to the charger, and the balance board are damaged or some lines are disconnected. Easily, you can use DMM to ensure each cell voltage coming to the charger. If the balance board or balance wire has been burnt, please change one. (Please also check another file "bal err" on the first post.)
That's a relief. At least I can still charge them one at a time.
Charge 5 3 cell Lipos at one time for $57.20
I'm not an expert on batteries yet and one of the hardest things for a new RC pilot is to figure out a way to charge 5 batteries quickly so he can spend a few minutes flying and not most of the day waiting on batteries to charge. My original idea was to buy 5 cheap Turnigy lipo chargers at 11.44 a pop, not bad for 2 and 3 cell Lipos. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=8247
I have 1 and it works great for the money, its nothing fancy, has no digital read outs of any kind and only does 2 and 3 cell Lipos and has auto shutoff. You can get it in AC or DC. It is slow though and takes an hour and a half to charge my Blade SR 1000mah Lipo's. With 5 batteries I'd get about 40 minutes of flying time for every hour and a half of charging for 57.20 plus shipping and tax.
This is the ultimate but way more expensive and what I want to eventually do as I move into larger Helis requiring 6 cell batteries. This is awesome. Be sure and check out the You Tube Video half way down the page.
From the reviews tab on the HobbyKing $11 charger:
" one cell was 4,27V the cell at the center was 4,18V or 4,19V and the other 4,19V."
Not so good for your batteries. I had a cheap four button imax b6 clone, and wasted my $ as the voltages were so out it wore out my LiPos early. I can now only use it to charge NiMh and Pb, and have replaced it with a 208b. Expensive but should never need upgrading.
New fast charge method
Hi Junsi,
I have recently learned about a new fast charge method for LiPos (and other Lixx packs).
This method is built up on the theory, that a cell can be divided into the charge storage (galvanic cell), and a resistor (the inner resistance).
When the cell is charged, the total cell voltage consists of both the voltage of the galvanic cell (charge storage), and the voltage drop across the resistor. Important for the CV phase of the charge is only the voltage of the galvanic cell, but not the one of the resistor. But normal chargers can only take the sum of both into account during a charge, thus reducing the charge current and terminating the charge process too early. One can easily see this, as most packs have a sudden voltage drop when the charger stops charging.
This new method makes little pauses during the charge without current. Then the voltage is checked. Without current, we do not have a voltage drop across the resistor, hence the charger only sees the actually important voltage of the calvanic cell.
During charge, the total cell voltage is allowed to go up to 4.35V (LiPo), but only, if the "resting voltage" (without current) of the cell stays at or below 4.20V.
It is said, that this considerably reduces charge time, while not compromising the batterys cycle life.
I think that this might be an interesting feature to add to the charger. I would gladly do the field testing work.

IIRC didn't some NiCd chargers of the past do something like this -- Reflex Charging?
Also, wasn't there just big arguement suggesting not to fill up LiPo to the very top; does the existing method give us a bit od a pad towards this?

Julez, Quite a few chargers have been working that way for years now, perhaps it is why some are quicker than others for the same packs.
Hyperion, FMA and Maxpro all use a pause during charging to monitor the resting cell voltage. I know that the Hyperion 610 used to pause every 60s and the Maxpro X6 every 5s. The Bantam B6 used to do it every 30s but only in the CV-phase.
I cannot say for sure how high they allow the voltage to go while current is flowing, but they certainly cut off the charge current to do a cell check.
As long as the resting voltage is kept within limits, Lipos do not seem to mind if the voltage during the charge process is a tad higher.
Here is a paper about this. It gets interesting after page 5:

That paper is quite old (1998) as are others I found about pulse charging LiXx cells, so I would be careful about applying their conclusions to the current generation of cells used for RC, which clearly have very different characteristics. Using conventionaly CCCV charging contemporary LiPo cells charge from 80% discharged in 50 to 70 minutes, not the 2.5 hours mentioned in that paper. To me that says something about the changes (advances) in chemistry and anode composition.
So I agree that there may be something gained by adopting a periodic pause to check the resting cell voltages, I would be against changing to any significantly more aggressive like the reflex-style method mentioned in some references.

I doubt their claims that conventional LiXX charging reaches the CV phase after 30 minutes at 1C and needs 2.5 hours for a full charge, but I guess if you had a lot of resistance between you and the battery it could happen with dumber chargers. Still, I've never had a phone or laptop that took 2.5 hours for a full charge.
Back when the FMA CellPro 4S was new I recall claims that you could use very long charge leads with no ill effects, something like 16 feet. The reason why is that the charger would pause from time to time and use the -dV to compensate for line losses. With products like the FMA PL8 you can actually use Kelvin connections to allow for line loss compensation without having to pause the charging process, but I know it still pauses from time to time to evaluate the battery being charged and the power source.
To bring this back to the iChargers, I have no idea what they do, but I suspect "nothing" as we already know they have issues reading cell voltages because they don't compensate for the voltage drop of the wires.

The Linux system serving Samba must have the Samba users with matching
usernames and passwords.
It's fine if the users have same names on both systems.
They also need a Samba password made separately from the normal unix
password. The Samba password can of course be the same as the normal
unix password.
To create a Samba password for a Samba user on the Linux system:
# smbpasswd -a yourusername

Hyperuricemia is a known, potentially fatal complication of leukemia, particularly following therapy of the acute process. Hydration, solute diuresis, and alkalinization of the urine often are sufficient to allow the kidneys to excrete the increased load of uric acid.1 Despite this therapy, uric acid crystallization may occur which can be relieved by cystoscopy and alkali lavage of the renal pelvis. Severe hyperuricemia causing urate crystallization and anuria may require therapy with dialysis.1-5 This complication of leukemia and lymphoma is best treated by a prevention of uric acid synthesis using the xanthine oxidase inhibitor, allopurinol, as described by Rundles and associates.6 Unfortunately, acute leukemia often is abrupt in its onset of exacerbations, and hyperuricemia may be an early manifestation. The patient to be described is the first example in whom neither dialysis nor allopurinol alone were sufficient to alleviate the hyperuricemia, but combined therapy corrected the hyperuricemia, restored

The crowd in the doorway of Gene's Books in King of Prussia Plaza huddled around the little table where Robert Groden sat signing copies of his book, High Treason: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Passersby drifted over and then wandered away as the Boothwyn author chatted, one by one, with a line of readers who stepped up to the table, books ready.
Some of the faces were barely old enough to remember the day President Kennedy was shot in Dallas - Nov. 22, 1963. They seemed captivated nonetheless as they competed for Groden's time, discussing with him the smallest details of the JFK case.

Not only can we design and build a custom house for you, we can add on to your existing property to increase its rental and resale values. We will even offer you professional advice based on over 25 years of experience on what additions will benefit YOU best. Some additions are better than others.
Any addition to your existing rental property must put the needs and wants of the renter first and foremost. Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom might be nice, but the typical renter isn't going to pay more for it. And the rental market is about maximizing your rental potential to make more money.
The other obvious benefit to having any of these additions is the resale value. For instance, an in-ground cement pool on the property costs around $24,000. However, the addition of the pool raises the property value to $50,000 on average. And with the housing market the way it currently is, anything you can do to make your property more attractive to a potential buyer is a bonus.
Lane Custom Homes can help you realize the full monetary value of your house. Any space not being used to its full potential is money you're not receiving. And with Lane Custom Homes there is a standard of quality in all aspects of our work which you can depend on.
So what are you waiting for? Let us turn your house into a real money maker!

The University of Hawaii men's volleyball team dropped a heartbreaker to host UC Santa Barbara on Friday.
The scores were 20-25, 25-23, 25-14, 21-25, 15-13.
Brook Sedore had 15 kills and Taylor Averill added 14 for the Rainbow Warriors (5-4, 3-3 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation).
Hawaii, ranked No. 11 by the American Volleyball Coaches Association, erased two match points before Joby Ramos' dump attempt was blocked to end the two-hour, 34-minute match. Ramos finished with 43 assists.
Evan Licht had 22 kills and Austin Kingi added 15 for the ninth-ranked Gauchos (5-2, 4-2), who beat the Rainbow Warriors in four sets on Thursday.
Hawaii will play at Cal State Northridge on Feb. 7 and 8.

Many knew that RG3 would close the gap between himself and Luck, how much well that just depends on who you ask, but for conversation sake what if the Colts rated the two very similar after the inhouse interviews, this would lead to a situation where it would not matter if we had the #1 or #2 pick, for this reason I propose the following trade ideas.
1. Colts trade their #1 pick to STL for the #2 and a future first round pick. This helps both teams, altough the Rams will get a ton of picks for the #2 pick they could probably get a little more for the #1. For the Colts they pick up another pick that will help them rebuild for the future.
2. Colts trade their #1 pick to STL for the #2 and Sam Bradford, the outcome of this will be a little different, instead of trading the #1 STL. We then trade Sam Bradford to the Browns for their 22nd and 37th and 131st
3. Colts trade their #1 pick to STL for the #2 Roger Saffold, and Robert Quinn, the Rams continue with the idea set forth in the first scenario. The colts do not get the 1st pick for next year but they get two quality guys.
In all these scenarios the Colts take RG3 in the first, with the first scenario the Colts either keep the pick or trade it for multiple picks in this years draft.
With the 2nd scenario the Colts get RG3, and with the picks in the next 3 rounds they could really improve the team with a lot of young talent quickly.
Just some ideas:
#2 Robert Griffin III
#22 Micheal Floyd, Dontari Poe, Mark Barron
#33 Harrison Smith, Stephen Hill, Rueben Randle
#36 Ta'amu, Peter Konz, Stephon Gilmore or Chase Minnifield
#65 Brandon Boykin or Jayron Hosley or Trumaine Johnson, George Iloka, Herbon Fangupo
This would not be a bad way to start out a draft class at all, but this scenario all depends on how the Rams value Bradford compared to Luck.
In scenario 3 we would get two young good prospects, one who could be used as a 3-4 outside LB, the other whose play decreased this past year and from what I have heard STL is looking for a new starting LT.
This would allow us to switch him to RT and move big Ben inside at guard.
I would not mind any of these scenarios, I like Luck but I also like Griffin and I would be happy with whatever outcome.

All Saints' Church, Charlton All Saints
This little church is just over 150 years old and was built largely at the instigation and with the financial help of Horatio, the third Earl Nelson. He was the great-nephew of Admiral Lord Nelson, the victor of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The original brass memorial plaque to 'our' Earl Nelson on the west wall of the church was stolen in 2006 - a replica replaced it - and his photograph is on the north pillar of the chancel arch.
The large brick house set among the woods on the hill and beyond the River Avon, is Trafalgar House, pronounced locally (as in Spanish) "Trafalgár", which was given to the Nelson family in perpetuity as the gift of a grateful nation: this gift was rescinded shortly after the 1939-1945 war. The house is now in private hands.
As you will see, our church is in two halves; the carpeted nave is used as the Church-and-Village-Hall for Harvest Suppers, Church Bazaars, and as the local Polling Station; but for large services the folding doors (which are across the chancel step just east of the pulpit) are opened to their full width.
Our regular services on the second and fourth Sundays of every month are held in the Choir. Our little tracker-action organ was fully restored and re-built to its original sound and glory in 2008/2009 by Peter Munro, of Devizes, paid for by the generosity of parishioners.
The church was converted to its present layout by a small band of determined parishioners at the end of the 20th century who took out all the pews from the nave, removed the choir stalls, put back in the choir the best of the pews, repaired the hole in the nave roof and redecorated the whole interior. Professionals were engaged to deal with the rot in the roof timbers - and we are still renewing various parts of the nave floor when small areas feel suspiciously "bouncy"!
We like to think that we were among the very first parish churches to save its own building by adapting it so that it could be used for secular as well as religious purposes and functions.
Have a look at the bottom right hand corner of the west window and you will see that it was made in Rochester Row, Westminster, by William Morris. Look also at our parish war memorial window near the pulpit; it is a moving tribute from such a tiny community as ours.
The Lych Gate is the Parish War Memorial to the Fallen of both World Wars and our Remembrance Sunday Act of Remembrance has become the envy of the Chalke Valley Deanery.
