The 2010 Range Rover receives a minor facelift-updating styling and improving aerodynamics. Two new Jaguar-sourced engines offer more power plus improved fuel economy. The suspension system has been revised, the brake system upgraded, and the instrument panel replaced by an innovative 12-inch LCD display.
- Minor facelift with new LED-type lights in the front and rear and redesigned fender vents
- New 375-horsepower, 5.0-liter, direct-injection V-8 engine
- New 510-horsepower, supercharged, 5.0-liter, direct-injection V-8 engine
- Revised ZF 6-speed electronically controlled transmission
- Revised Adaptive Dynamics ride control
- New larger brakes
- Updates to the Terrain Response system
- New Trailer Stability Assist
- Instrument cluster replaced by a 12-inch TFT screen with \"virtual\" dials and displays
One of the longest-running nameplates still in production, the Range Rover boasts a design history that dates back to the 1950s. It has been commercially available since 1970, when it dbuted as a no-frills, all-terrain vehicle, but Land Rover didn't start selling the Range Rover officially in the United States until 1987. The Range Rover is now in its third generation, and has evolved into a luxurious 5-passenger SUV.
For 2010, the Land Rover Range Rover features a more powerful engine, as well as upgraded transmission, suspension, terrain response, and stability control systems. Adaptive cruise control and several safety features have also been added.
The base trim, HSE, includes 19-inch wheels, adjustable air suspension, a voice-activated hard-drive-based navigation system, 14-speaker surround sound system, and many other features as standard equipment. The optional Luxury Interior package upgrades the standard leather upholstery and wood trim, and adds 20-inch wheels. The Supercharged trim includes the Luxury Interior features as standard, plus Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension damping, electronically locking rear differential, and other upgrades. Available with the Supercharged trim is the Autobiography package of options, which further enhances the leather interior trim and adds a leather headliner. It also includes 4-zone climate control and a rear entertainment system, among other features.
Both the HSE and the Supercharged trims feature 5.0-liter V-8 engines coupeed with 6-speed automatic transmissions and permanent 4-wheel drive. The HSE's engine produces 375 horsepower and 375 lb.-ft. of torque; the Supercharged V-8 makes 501 horsepower and 461 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines deliver 12 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
Standard safety features on the 2010 Land Rover Range Rover include anti-lock disc brakes; traction, stability, and hill descent control; front-seat side air bags; side curtain air bags; driver's knee air bag; front and rear parking sensors; and a parking assist camera.
Depending on trim level, starting MSRPs for the 2010 Land Rover Range Rover ranged from $78,425 to $94,275.

Marriage amendment strategy backfires on GOP
It sounded like a good idea at the time.
Get the proposed same-sex marriage constitutional amendment on the November ballot to drive up the Republican vote while driving Democrats out of office. The plan worked for President Bush two years ago, particularly in Ohio. So why wouldn't it do the same in Wisconsin this year, the GOP brass reasoned.
Welcome to the real world.
"The timing ended up backfiring," said U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, a Menomonee Falls Republican. "I think the opposite worked out this time."
The controversial amendment easily passed Tuesday, with Wisconsin voters approving the ban by 59% to 41%.
But the measure clearly had an unintended consequence by sparking a larger-than-expected turnout, especially among left-leaning college students, who flooded their campus polling places.
The result: Dems scored some unexpected gains in the Statehouse.
"We're very happy," said Rep. Mark Pocan, an openly gay Madison Democrat, "and we definitely saw this as a product of the turnout on the college campuses."
In the Assembly, Republicans lost as many as eight seats, reducing the GOP's once formidable control of the house to what now appears to be a 52-47 margin. Five of the new Democratic legislators were elected in districts that include University of Wisconsin campuses. Among those expelled was Colleges and Universities Chairman Rob Kreibich, who represents UW-Eau Claire.
Democrats gained control of the Senate by knocking out four Republicans, including longtime Sen. David Zien, who also represents UW-Eau Claire.
If you can win by losing, score one for Fair Wisconsin, the well-funded grass-roots group that led the unsuccessful fight against the amendment. In his victory speech, Gov. Jim Doyle, who scored his own impressive seven-point victory over U. S. Rep. Mark Green, also put a spotlight on the group, thanking it for its efforts.
Even Republican honchos begrudgingly credited Fair Wisconsin Wednesday for a strong get-out-the-vote effort that helped Democrats up and down the ticket.
Just how surprised were the GOP bosses by the turnout?
Before the election, their data concluded that Green needed 940,000 votes to unseat Doyle. In the end, Green topped that goal by 36,000 votes, yet he will soon be out of work.
"Usually, if you exceed your vote goal," said Republican Party executive director Rick Wiley, "you win."
So much for conventional wisdom.
The turnout was most impressive on college campuses
Wiley said he witnessed this firsthand at UW-Milwaukee on election day. Some 30 UWM students waited in line to register to vote while he was there, he said, and more than 1,000 ended up signing up to cast ballots Tuesday.
According to the left-leaning Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group, 16,837 people voted this week in the 10 wards in and around the UW-Madison campus, compared with 10,140 in the same wards in 2002 - a whopping 66% increase.
"Fair Wisconsin did a good job of turning out the college vote," Wiley said. "They ended up being Doyle's turnout vehicle."
That's a little much, said Fair Wisconsin boss Mike Tate, who said the first-term Democrat would have won re-election without the amendment.
The campaign organizer wasn't so humble when it came to the legislative races.
"We were a significant driver of progressive turnout," Tate said. "What ended up happening was that the voters were targeted, especially moderate Democrats and independents. . . . They voted against the Republican leadership."
Tate's tally: "We added probably 5 percent to the Democratic margin."
On the UW-Oshkosh campus, Tate said, his group had in excess of 100 election-day volunteers. Fair Wisconsin also had paid staffers at each four-year UW campus and volunteers at each dorm.
"We have, running away, the highest young voter turnout in the nation," boasted Tate, who saw Democratic victories as the silver lining to his group's decisive loss on the amendment.
Sensenbrenner doesn't disagree with the impact of the amendment on driving up the campus vote. But that's only part of the story, he said.
By putting the same-sex marriage and death penalty measures on the same ballot, Sensenbrenner said, Republican leaders in the Legislature ended up drawing the wrong type of voter to the polls - Democrats, especially conservative ones. Those people voted for the ballot proposals but against Republican candidates.
His proof: About 275,000 people cast ballots for the ban on same-sex marriages but not for Green.
What's more, he said, the Republican strategy gave opponents 1½ years to organize and raise millions of dollars.
"It was a lose-lose situation," Sensenbrenner said. "You had Reagan Democrats and socially conservative union members who wanted to vote yes and yes (on the referendums) and then voted for Doyle.
"And then you had liberals who voted no on both, then voted for Democrats."
Intriguing analysis, but here's one final observation on this election that has yielded so many surprises.
Pocan and the folks at Fair Wisconsin find themselves in agreement with a GOP leader and Sensenbrenner, the right-winger whom liberal Democrats love to hate.
Talk about your strange bedfellows.

You're interested in using a lift kit for your truck or SUV but aren't sure that you know enough about how it works. Or maybe you've been doing some research and the information you've learned has opened up more questions that you hadn't thought of before.
If you have questions about lift kits, we have answers. Here at Lifted Trucks we specialize in all things lift-related, and are happy to share our knowledge with you. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions from customers.
While we love a great independent, DIY attitude, care must be taken when you decide to buy a kit to lift your ride. If installed incorrectly, it can affect many different areas of your truck or SUV, causing all kinds of problems. The length of a drive shaft, the steering, performance of your vehicle and more could all potentially be effected by adding a lift kit. Reading a factory service manual or other resources in print or online, chatting with other lifted truck owners and consulting someone who is knowledgeable about the process can all help. And of course, you're always welcome to seek us out here at Lifted Trucks for help and advice.
A lift kit raises up the body of your vehicle for better clearance. This is especially important for off-road driving and maneuverability. Another perk of a lift kit is that it enables you to add much larger tires to your vehicle. Whether you choose this for maneuvering obstacles or simply for aesthetic reasons, big tires require a higher ground clearance.
There are basically two ways to have a lift kit installed: do-it-yourself or have a professional mechanic do it for you. The option is up to you, but it's important to consider a few factors. Are you already comfortable with the process-maybe you've already done it in the past-or is this your first attempt? Do you have a friend or two who is knowledgeable in this area? How comfortable are you seeking help if something goes wrong?
At Lifted Trucks we're happy to answer basic questions, or to install your lift for you.
There are three general options when it comes to size: small, medium and large lift kits. A small lift kit will give you a lesser amount of ground clearance than a large kit. Approximately 1.5 inches for a small is a good rule of thumb.
Medium lift is approximately 2-inches of lift. This is a great amount for tire clearance but isn't recommended for off-roading adventures. A large lift kit though, is aggressive, offering about 3 to 4-inches of clearance and good off-road capabilities.
These are just a few of the most common questions we get about lift kits. Feel free to get in touch with us with any of your own questions that aren't answered here.
We're located in Phoenix, AZ, just a short drive from Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa and Glendale, AZ.

Laney College Athletic Fields and Field House
Oakland, CA
Laney College, one of the four largest colleges of the Peralta Community College District, is embarking on a project that consists of a field house, on-grade parking area and athletic fields (baseball, multi-purpose and track and field). The field house is a two-story building with viewing decks and is approximately 15,000 sf total.
Syska Hennessy Group provided MEP services up to the design development phase needed at the baseball field and multi-purpose field areas, including dugouts, batting cages, scorekeepers, parking pathway lighting, and field lighting. The parking lot also required lighting. All lighting specifications met Peralta Community College District and Laney College standards. We also provided a performance specification for a fire sprinkler system.
Syska is providing full photovoltaic (PV) design on the 100-space parking carports and the roof of the athletic field house. Two separate grid-tied PV systems provide 214 KW and 68 kW of electricity, respectively. Both PV systems are interconnected with the serving utility company metering equipment.
The project design intent is to achieve LEED Silver certification at a minimum.

No matter what the play calling had been - there was no way all those dudes could get all the touches they wanted or thought they should've gotten. the thing is, Jalin would've been one of the only proven commodities on this years team. He would've had a chance to truly shine. Personally, I don't see him as being being NFL ready yet, but who knows...I do wish him the best & truly hope he succeeds - but those comments sounded like there may have been a bit of entitlement to me. Hopefully my saying that isn't going to piss anyone off - just my take.
Cardale's my dude for sure! While JT won the job & rightfully so (probably should've happened sooner), I'd been rooting for Cardale since last spring to be the guy for 2015. Although it didn't work out, I do think he has some serious talent & obviously a rocket for an arm that will work much better in the NFL than it did at OSU. I mean the NC & those three games were amazing but I think once Devin was gone & there was no steady deep threat he just wasn't that well suited for the rest of OSU's offensive plan. If he learns a few things & can put some touch on his passes, someone's going to get a great QB for a steal.
In that UT message board screen shot DJ posted, the part that stood out to me was where the guy asked the media to leave Peyton alone. Something about how he hasn't butt-planted anyone's face since college...WTF is a butt plant to the face?
Man - if Hyde had those 3 (4 really) games back that he missed in 2013...could've have been one of those all time great season type deals.
Sorry for the late reply - you'll likely not see this, but I did read the Freeh Report, although that was some time ago. It was my understanding that Sandusky was allowed back into the facilities after he'd been retired & after McQueary had reported it to Paterno. If I'm mistaken, my apologies, but I would have sworn I'd read Sandusky had been on campus & in the football facilities after Paterno was informed.
Tell me where to look up that Joe Patero didn't allow Sandusky continued access to the program long after a report was made directly to him that Sandusky was seen raping a child in the lockeroom & I'll look at that information. But be careful, because what I wrote is a cold, hard fact. If you can provide links, I'll check them out, but send me to a site filled with the rantings & opinions of a biased fan or group of fans & I'll laugh. Long story short, Joe Paterno was a good football coach who placed way, WAY too much value on not damaging his football program or his own legacy. Any tarnishing of his legacy is completely validated.
That was amazing! +1 to you!!
Cam's good, but Philly & Ginn did very well this year & had plenty of great plays between them. Both are solid NFL WRs. That's my opinion. As to your "to disagree is to not understand football" comment, I have no time to write a soliloquy explaining how badly that mentality sucks...
Is it weird to admit that I read this whole skully & all I'm still thinking about D'Angelo's balls? Wait don't answer that...or do.

quote: The problem is that most consumers simply aren't ready to make the disconnect with reality necessary to purchase an electric vehicle.
quote: zero environmental benefits (manufacturing of a prius has shown to negate any emissions advantages it has over a conventional car;
quote: plus the electricity has to come from a power plant)
quote: it's not a myth
quote: also, away from population centers doesn't mean away from the atmosphere we all breathe, does it??
quote: Yes it is. First link on google, with sources:
quote: Alas, that doesn't take into account the fact that no single battery pack will remain fully functional throughout the stated duration of 160k miles
quote: You know what? Beyond the anecdotal evidence that some vehicles go on the same battery pack over 300k miles and that by law manufacturers are required to warranty hybrid vehicle battery packs for 8y/100k or 10y/150k (depending on the State of purchase) I couldn't find any real data. None. All articles simply regurgitate the same information without presenting any data over and over again. Maybe you can help with identifying a reliable source? Like statistics of warranty and non-warranty battery replacements?
quote: new electricity generation is all gas and renewables.
quote: plus the electricity has to come from a power plant
quote: We would still need a gas-powered vehicle for longer trips, but I can totally see her rocking something like a Leaf.
quote: So...no. No, there isn't the slightest chance in hell that you can justify having an EV as a second vehicle. No. Way. In. Hell.
quote: Reading. You should try it some time.
quote: If the price was right, an EV would make total sense for my wife. She works 5 miles from home and rarely travels more than 30 miles or so roundtrip when running errands during the week. We would still need a gas-powered vehicle for longer trips, but I can totally see her rocking something like a Leaf.
quote: My whole point was to show that trying to justify buying an EV as a 2nd car to "save money" on your local driving is a farce.
quote: Lots of people have.
quote: You mean an additional car when only one would otherwise suffice? What kind of idiotic point is that? Nobody has EVER made that conjecture.
quote: ...so you buy a $30k electric car for the 10 mile commute your wife does to work every day, and then a $30k gas car for real use.
quote: Did I say that
quote: Again, have you even bought a car before?
quote: Americans ARE keeping their vehicles much longer now. New car sales have been poor.
quote: And here you are trying to convince people that now is the time to "come out ahead" and buy an EV?
quote: We would still need a gas-powered vehicle for longer trips , but I can totally see her rocking something like a Leaf.
quote: We are already a two-car household, so it could work for us.
quote: Replacing one of their current vehicles with an EV will NOT SAVE THEM MONEY.
quote: That could be worth it, but of course only if you were otherwise planning on buying a new car for her anyway.
quote: And furthermore you big-mouthed troll, are YOU driving an EV currently? Goddamn hypocrite.
quote: Lease it, let Nissan eat the depreciation. They want to bet on EVs depreciating slower than ICE cars, take the other side.
quote: The point of leasing is so that you don't buy it for $18,500, and instead walk away or lease a new one.
quote: First of all, it hasn't been established that Brandon has or needs a car of his own.
quote: Which would take 17.8 years at $1.08 a trip (highway miles) or 14.5 years at $1.32 a trip (at 31MPG).
quote: which first of all, is still pretty piss-poor for a return period.
quote: Also, consider that the rest of us all paid $7,500 for you to get the Leaf in the first place
quote: the Versa only costs $12k
quote: 35MPG combined too on the Versa.
quote: who, exactly, fails at math?
quote: Yes it has. Brandon explicitly said he's in a two car household
quote: Why do you keep repeating these meaningless numbers when you know that she drives ~24 miles per day, not 10?
quote: No it isn't, as people have trillions of dollars sitting around earning near zero interest, but if you want a faster return period, then lease.
quote: Better than spending even more on imported oil.
quote: Yeah, for the base manual sedan model. It also lacks the power door locks and power windows which 95% of new car buyers choose for their car, including Brandon's wife if she last paid $21k for the car she liked.
quote: at the time I started, he'd not said that yet.
quote: No, 6 years is pretty piss-poor for a breakeven period, before you can begin "saving" anything.
quote: No, it isn't - not when the oil is more economical (it is) and oil is a fungible commmodity (it is).
quote: As noted, you've ignored the fact that I posted information disproving your stupidity at the 24 miles per day, using an EV as a replacement for an ICE car, not a 2nd car, and you refuse to address that issue.
quote: ...and I guess just because someone will say "well yeah but what if the daily commute is 75 miles instead of 10?" - Gas costs in the ICE vehicle: $10/day, $300/month
quote: EVEN IF you were looking at the $21,500 Leaf vs. the $14,500 Accent
quote: Good lord; I go out to have a few drinks with the fellas and all hell breaks loose!
quote: We were going to replace her car anyway... my only point was that we could have easily gone with a Nissan Leaf and she would have done just fine.
quote: And if I HAD bought one, I'm a parasite wasting YOUR tax dollars on a $7,500 credit ;)
quote: you know, she does have a life outside of work too :)
quote: If you don't like it or think the battery is shoddy, leave it to Nissan and buy the 3 year old car that you would've had anyway if you didn't lease the EV
quote: And I refuse to pay the depreciation of a new car that's only going to see 100k at most on it.
quote: Very likely my next car after Mazda 5 will be Leaf, it's the closest to ideal for me.
quote: Besides, I don't have a horse in this race. My next car is going to be a diesel station wagon.

DONATE TO THE #MoreThanWords CAMPAIGN
With the backing of Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway, and a friendly competition between four other great Vikings sites, we still consider our charitable fundraising goal of $10,000 raised by August 22nd to be within reach.
In an attempt to raise those funds for the "Chad's Locker" program, run by Chad Greenway and the fine folks at his Lead the Way Foundation, we here at Vikings Territory have pulled every trick out of our hat that we could think of to motivate the online Vikings community to lend a huge helping hand to families in need.
So far, in our efforts, we have:
- Challenged four other Vikings sites (Daily Norseman, VikeFans, Vikings Corner, and Vikings Journal) to see who could raise the most money with a digital trophy on the line.
- We sent Lindsey to a hospital housing a Chad's Locker to talk to real people impacted by Greenway's unique program.
- We offered business sponsorship packages to try and make sure every resource we have is being used to meet this goal. So far, we have two takers on that offer including Echidna and SH Architecture.
- Matt Engstrom generously donated proceeds from a week's worth of sales on his incredibly awesome T-shirt line with his original illustrations.
- We hosted Chad Greenway on the Purple For The Win! Podcast to try and talk equal parts football and outreach.
We might have a few more tricks left up our sleeves, and we certainly won't miss our goal due to a lack of effort, but let's take a look at where things currently stand.

Skip Top Navigation Skip to Content
Updated: September 7, 2016
Due to the volume of construction activities taking place near the floating bridge and near the new West Approach Bridge North, boaters should be vigilant and boat with care. Using appropriate boater etiquette and following speed limits near construction activities will keep both boaters and construction crews safe. The east and west navigation channels will be periodically blocked for critical construction activities. During these blockages, marine vessels should plan to navigate through the unaffected channel (see below for navigational height restrictions). To receive updates about upcoming blockages of the navigation channels, email us.
The pontoons from the old floating bridge will continue to float out through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks for the remainder of the year. There are also a variety of other decommissioning activities happening in and around the SR 520 navigation channels. Please view our factsheet to learn more about some of the upcoming decommissioning activities and what you can expect to see in the water (pdf 1 mb).
There are no east navigation channel closures at this time.It is important to note that there may be interim closures of the east navigation channel as crews continue to decommission the remainder of the old SR 520 floating bridge.
East navigation channel clearance under the new SR 520 floating bridge
Below you will find graphics that show the east navigation channel clearance under the new SR 520 floating bridge. As you travel through the east navigation channel in the coming weeks, you will see two signs indicating clearance. Both signs are gauges posted at the water level to show the clearance for boaters at the current water level. The only sign currently posted on the bridge is on the pontoon located at the west side of the channel. While this sign is a gauge, as shown below, this sign will always show a clearance of 70 feet at water level since the pontoon rises and falls with changes in water levels on Lake Washington. In the next few weeks, a sign will be posted on the fixed, east approach column at the east side of the channel. The clearance is currently 65 feet at the east end of the channel so boaters will see that portion of the sign at water level. As water levels lower, the clearance on the east side of the channel may rise up to approximately 67 feet.

At this time, the west navigation channel is closed and will remain closed through Friday, September 30. Please note that one navigation channel will always be open and accessible to boaters. While the west navigation channel is closed to boaters, the east navigation channel is open.Navigation changes on Lake Washington at SR 520. Click image for printable version (pdf 3.2 mb).
An exclusion zone is active immediately north and south of the western-most pontoon. This off-limits zone is marked by six white buoys and a sign on each end of the pontoon. Please note, the white buoys represent the locations of the anchor lines and it is dangerous to pass between the sign and the buoys.
Please note that the U.S. Coast Guard has established a temporary safety zone around the east span of the SR 520 floating bridge through the end of December 2016. During this time, boaters are prohibited from entering all waters within 100 yards of the east span, unless within the navigation channel. This zone is in place to protect boaters and bridge crews while construction barges are located in the navigation channel under the east span of the bridge.
