This story is
brought to you
As I was leaving Maples Pavilion on Saturday night, I was reveling in another victory and Stanford's imminent move to number two in the national polls. I was thinking about how cool it was to go to a school that could boast a national powerhouse basketball team and was wondering if this, my senior year, would deliver the long-awaited national basketball championship to The Farm. I remembered the disappointment of my freshman year (2000-01), the last great Stanford team, that was beaten soundly by an athletic Maryland team in the Elite Eight. However, the memories got me thinking. How does this year's team stack up with that great team from three seasons ago? Who would win if the two teams played each other in a head to head match-up and which team will have more success in their respective tournament? I poured over the numbers, went through the memory banks, and analyzed the match-ups, and what I found was this…
A game between Stanford 2000-01 and Stanford 2003-04 would be a very close game. Both teams boasted star power, depth, and role players, and both teams found ways to win all sorts of games. However, in a search for which team is the better of the two requires a closer look at the match-ups.
Point Guard - I think this position is very intriguing when you compare Mike McDonald and Chris Hernandez. Hernandez is more explosive and plays better defense, but he doesn't bring the same intangibles that McDonald brought to the '01 team. First, McDonald was a senior who always seemed like he was comfortable running the offense. Hernandez looks great most of the time, but sometimes, because of his lack of starting experience, he looks a little uncomfortable running the half-court sets. Both men are great shooters, but over the course of the season, McDonald shot 56-109 (51%) from three-point range, which we can only hope Hernandez will match. This match-up is close, but because of McDonald's experience, I give the slight advantage to Stanford '01.
Shooting Guard - Casey Jacobsen as a sophomore versus Matt Lottich as a senior is very close. Jacobsen led the team in scoring with 18 points per game, 51% from the field and 47% from three-point range. Lottich leads his team in scoring as well, but the numbers are slightly less impressive (14.0, 45%, 38%). Both men were clutch, (Jacobsen hit the winner against Duke and Lottich has been clutch versus both Kansas and Gonzaga), but I think Jacobsen's numbers were better. Lottich is more streaky than Jacobsen was, and is sometimes taken out of the game (watch the first half against Cal) in ways that Jacobsen as a sophomore never was. It is close again, but I give the advantage to Stanford '01.
Small Forward - Let me preface this by saying that I loved Ryan Mendez' game. Mendez never forced things, was a superb shooter, and was ice from the foul line late in games. Mendez was the ultimate team player. However, Mendez was never an All-American candidate. He can't compete with the overall athleticism, scoring, rebounding, and defense that Josh Childress provides. Mendez had a better shooting stroke, but Josh Childress is one of the best all around players to come through Maples in a long time. Advantage to Stanford '04.
Power Forward - Justin Davis and Jarron Collins are essentially equal players in every way. Davis is more athletic; Collins slightly more grounded but equally solid. The numbers are almost equal. Davis is currently racking up 11.6 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 56% FG% and 64% FT%. Collins counters with 12.8 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 56% FG%, and 69% FT%. The numbers are pretty much a draw. I think Collins was more refined in the post; Davis counters with athleticism and potential. I can't see much difference between either so it is a draw.
Center - Rob Little has improved his game and his body so much this season. He is averaging over 10 PPG, nearly 6 rebounds, and shooting 54% from the field. However, his major weakness is a horrid 46% mark from the foul line. Jason Collins was a more complete player. His production in games was higher (14.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 61% FG%) and he had better all-around game. Collins could post-up, shoot the three-pointer (12-26; 46%) and shot 78% from the foul line. Little continues to improve his game, but in 2001, Collins had few peers. Advantage '01.
Bench - Stanford 2001 has a bench that is full of names that would go on to have huge careers at Stanford. Players like Julius Barnes, Curtis Borchardt, Justin Davis, Matt Lottich, and Teyo Johnson would all go on to have fine careers at Stanford, but in the 2001 season this was a rather inconsistent group. Borchardt brought an interesting set of skills to the team but spent good parts of the year fighting off injuries. Julius Barnes showed flashes of brilliance but was still a fairly immature player who faded as the season progressed. Davis showed flashes of athleticism and solid play, but also often showed his youth and inconsistency. Lottich was little more than a steak shooter with no defense, playing in Jacobsen's shadow. Tony Giovacchini was the only reserve to play in each game but made little impact on any of them. Teyo Johnson was an interesting addition to the team and provided a lot of muscle and toughness down low. Still, this is a "big name" bench that was inconsistent, injury plagued and very young. Stanford 2004 has a much more complete bench. This year's team has experienced players who come off the bench and provide not only points and rebounds, but intelligence and intangibles. Nick Robinson and Joe Kirchofer are not big stat players, but they are bench players that no good team should be without. They do everything asked of them and are great team players. Combine them with the talented and versatile Matt Haryasz, sweet shooting Dan Grunfeld, tested floor general Jason Haas and ultra-athletic Fred Washington, and in my opinion the 2004 bench has a clear advantage over the 2001 edition.
So what does all of this mean? The individual match-ups favor 2001, the depth favors 2004, so it will come down to a few other factors. 2004 plays better defense and has the potential with a healthy Childress to be a better rebounding team. However, the 2001 team shot the ball as well as any team I have seen in a long time and has a clear advantage over 2004. Jacobsen, McDonald, Mendez, Jason Collins, Johnson, and Lottich all shot better than 40% from three-point range. Currently, only Chris Hernandez can match that sort of accuracy from beyond the arc. As a team, 2001 shot 51% from the field and 43% from long distance. 2004 is no slouch at shooting the ball, 49% from the field and 36% from beyond the arc, but the difference is obvious. Plus, I think that in a head to head match-up, the cool and calm McDonald and Mendez would make a huge difference. Again, I think Hernandez will be special, but give me a senior point guard with Mike McDonald's skill and poise, and chances are that the team wins. So, in a very close, hard-fought battle, I think 2001 would beat 2004, probably in the neighborhood of 79-74.
That all being said, I think this edition of the Stanford Cardinal has a chance to do something that 2001 could not accomplish: earn a return trip to the Final Four. I have come to the conclusion that the 2001 team was slightly more talented and a better all-around team, but I think 2004 is better positioned to make a run at San Antonio. Simply put, college basketball has fewer dominant teams this year than it did in 2001. I don't see any truly dominant teams like Duke and Maryland were in 2001, and just looking at the scores from this past week is the perfect indicator. No teams have separated themselves from the rest of the pack and almost all of the top teams have lost close games that they should have won. So, while the 2001 team might have been the better of the two, I think this year's Cardinal have the better chance to advance to the Final Four. But in the meantime, someone give Mendez, Casey J, Mike McDonald and company a call. I want to see these teams play, wouldn't it be a lot of fun?
The Top 20
Wow. What a crazy week of college basketball. There were some big changes at the top of the polls this week, none bigger than Duke now taking over the top spot in the rankings. It wasn't an easy choice, but Duke looked so good this week and as we know, Stanford struggled versus Cal. Thus, the Blue Devils are now the top team in my rankings. There is a lot of shakeup all over these rankings because so many ranked teams were upset this past week. It seems like so many teams had chances to move up but lost a game so these rankings are dramatically different than last week.
- Duke (14-1, PR: 4) - If Duke continues to play like they did this week they are going to be very tough to beat. Easy victory over a tough NC State team and then a very solid victory over the then third ranked Demon Deacons of Wake Forest. They are playing better than anyone in the nation.
- Stanford (14-0, PR: 1) - Stanford won their game and were previously ranked number one, so what gives? Well, they looked sluggish for much of the game versus Cal and never found that killer instinct to put an inferior team away. Still, this is more a result of Duke playing well than it is about Stanford playing poorly.
- Louisville (13-1, PR: 2) - The Cardinals keep on winning their Conference USA games. Easy victories over East Carolina and Tulane keep Louisville rolling. This is a very complete team that has loads of talent and plays hard every minute of every game.
- St. Joseph's (15-0, PR: 6) - St. Joe's victory at Xavier is a much bigger win than most people realize. In my opinion, St. Joe's has the best chance (albeit still very slim) to run the table. St. Joe's is exciting to watch and has answered every test put before them.
- Connecticut (14-2, PR: 3) - The Huskies looked very bad in the first half against North Carolina, but rallied in the second to almost pull off a very impressive win. A loss to a team the caliber of North Carolina on the road is not going to drop you too far in these ranking, and UConn is still playing excellent basketball.
- Gonzaga (14-2, PR: 9) - The Zags continue to move up the rankings almost by default. They won their two games this week by 56 points, but still, the WCC schedule is pretty tame outside of a road trip to Pepperdine. However, everyone else around them in the rankings has been losing and the Zags keep on winning.
- North Carolina (11-3, PR: 8) - These guys nearly had an awesome week and a shot at the top five of these rankings. Big win at home over the UConn Huskies, but a tough loss at Maryland prevents a larger jump. The Heels shot only 32% against the Terps in the 2nd half, and it wasn't because the Terps were playing lockdown defense. The Heels score lots of points but they still go through terrible cold spells.
- Texas (11-2, PR: 17) - Texas was one of the biggest risers of the week with a big win over Wake. The two-point victory over Nebraska was a little close for comfort, but Texas is finally playing up to expectations.
- Wake Forest (11-2, PR: 5) - Wake Forest had a tough week, but it is mostly because of a horribly tough schedule. I don't understand what possessed the Deacons to schedule a road game against Texas in the same week they played at Duke. They wanted a big test and they didn't pass. This team is good, but they aren't quite where they need to be yet.
- Kentucky (11-2, PR: 7) - Escaped a squeaker over a much-improved Mississippi St. team, but the loss to unranked Georgia was unfortunate. This team confuses me so much. They are maddeningly inconsistent and you never know which team will decide to show up.
- Cincinnati (13-0, PR: Unranked) - I finally decided to watch a Bearcats game and they immediately went from unranked to number 11. They had a very good game against Marquette and they play solid defense on every possession. I had written them off because of a soft early season schedule, but these guys look like they will be a scary team to play throughout the season.
- Pittsburgh (18-0, PR: 19) - Pitt had a nice victory against Notre Dame, but almost every game in the Big East has been close for the Panthers. I just don't think they are as good as their record indicates and I think the losses will begin to come as the Big East season continues.
- Georgia Tech (14-2, PR: 13) - The Jackets got a nice victory over Maryland to complete a nice 2-0 week. It looks like they have gotten things running smoothly again after a couple of tough losses.
- Syracuse (13-1, PR: Unranked) - The Orangemen were another big riser this week. I refused to believe they were a good team, but impressive victories over Missouri and Notre Dame finally caught my attention.
- Purdue (12-4, PR: Unranked) - Wins over two top teams (Illinois and Wisconsin) are enough to bump this team into the top 15. I think Purdue might be the best the Big 10 has to offer, which doesn't say a whole lot.
- Kansas (11-2, PR: 14) - Kansas falls despite a 2-0 week. Yes they are 11-2 and have a great national reputation, but look at their last week. They barely escaped with victories over less than impressive teams Kansas St and Texas A&M (winning by a combined 12 points) and have not really put together a full game in some time.
- Texas Tech (14-2, PR: 15) - The Red Raiders didn't really do anything to deserve a drop in the rankings. This is more a result of some other teams moving up. Still, they should beat a team like Baylor by more than nine points.
- Arizona (11-3, PR: 11) - Raise your hand if you have the Cats figured out. They were routed by Stanford, handled fairly easily by USC, nearly lost several easy games in December, but routed UCLA. Much like the Kentucky Wildcats, these Cats are one of the most inconsistent teams on a nightly basis.
- Mississippi State (14-1, PR: Unranked) - I am a believer of State as well. They nearly knocked off Kentucky in what would have been a huge victory, but then bounced back with a nice win over LSU.
- Vanderbilt (13-2, PR: 20) - Vandy didn't play well against Tennessee, but had a great bounce back victory over Florida. Not an ideal selection for the last spot, but who below them deserves to be higher? Maybe Western Michigan, but we will hold that debate off until next week.
Others Receiving Consideration (Alphabetical Order)
Creighton (PR: 18), Florida (PR: 10), LSU, Western Michigan, Wisconsin (PR: 12)
Dropped from Consideration

@vxmcclure23 @TheFalcoholic @chucksmithnfl Easily Michael Vick's OT run against the Vikings https://t.co/98JWwOUv2Y #NFLNFalconsTopPlays
— Paul (@GaVaHokie) June 11, 2014
This is one of three nominations for the most memorable play in Atlanta Falcons history. In the next two days, we'll feature Alfred Jackson's tipped-ball catch of a pass from Steve Bartkowski for a touchdown and Morten Anderson's 38-yard field goal to beat the Minnesota Vikings and send the Falcons to Super Bowl XXXIII.
Score: Falcons 30, Vikings 24
Date: Dec. 1, 2002 Site: Metrodome
Although Michael Vick's time with Atlanta ended in controversy and a messy divorce, Vick still left behind plenty of lasting memories through six seasons.
One of those most memorable incorporated his most dangerous weapon: his legs. He made a statement with his running through four quarters of this Week 13 matchup in 2002, but Vick had one last point to prove as the Falcons faced second-and-8 from the Vikings' 46-yard line in overtime.
The crafty left-handed quarterback made a play-action fake, then sprinted left with the ball while loosely holding it in his left hand. As he turned the corner and blew by two linebackers, Vick cut back inside, tucked the ball and squeezed through another pair of defenders as they collided. He outraced two defensive backs down the middle for the game-winning score.
As his teammates surrounded him in celebration, Vick fired the ball in the air to punctuate the game-winning moment. He kept running, straight to the locker room. Then-Vikings head coach Mike Tice, now the Falcons offensive line coach, walked to midfield obviously distraught over what just hit him. It was a play Falcons fans won't soon forget, which is why it's on the list of top plays in team history.
Vick finished with 173 rushing yards on just 10 carries. His yardage, at the time, was the most by a quarterback since the 1970 merger. The previous mark was 127 yards by Bobby Douglas of the Chicago Bears. In the overtime win, Vick accounted for 346 of the Falcons' 379 total yards.

The 2011 college football season is still many months away, and football fans are anxious to know the prospects for their favorite team.
Some great teams from last year have lost a significant amount of talent, and others are undergoing changes in the coaching staff. Fans of these schools may be inclined to believe that these concerns will not affect their program but rarely is this the case.
Spring practice is still under way, and the impact of coaching changes, new starters, transfers, position switches and court decisions are uncertain. Very few fans are even assured of what the starting lineup may look like for their program next year.
While most teams do not have a realistic shot at going unbeaten, every year a few squads do seem to have a decent opportunity to remain unscathed by the time bowl season comes around.
Using criteria such as past performances, returning players and the difficulty of the schedule, these 10 programs may have the best chance to run the table next year and be in the discussion as possible BCS Championship game participants by the end of the regular season.

I ended up finishing that one with just one power core left.
Most recommendations I've see say to build your maze, but then concentrate on upgrading 2 platforms that will get the most alien passes.
So if the alien has to talk past it twice on the way to your power cores, and twice on the way back, that platform gets 4 total attack passes on the aliens.

Hi All,
I'm using Toshiba Satellite Pro S200 from quite some time. Recently I've upgraded my OS from XP Prof to Win 7, but can't access many features which my notebook has already having due to drivers compatibility issue. Same driver pack that worked fine on Win XP is now not working over Win7 platform.
Can anybody suggest where can I find the new set of drivers for Win 7 which will be compatible with my notebook model no. Is my model too older for this upgradation??
Suggestion/Support will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
From what I can tell that model isn't support by Toshiba under Windows 7. You can verify this by checking the second digit of the serial number. If it is a 7, 8, or 9 then it is supported. If it is a 6 or lower then it isn't. Basically Toshiba is ONLY supporting models that shipped with Vista to run Windows 7.
That doesn't mean that the system can't run Windows 7, only that Toshiba won't be releasing any drivers or utilities for Windows 7 for that model. You mgith be able to use the Vista drivers if they have them, but for the most part XP drivers will NOT work. You can also go to the various chipset manufacturers such as Realtek, Intel, AMD/ATI, etc. to see if they have any WIndows 7 drivers for the chipsets used on your system.
That said, you might not be able to gain full functionality of your system under Windows 7 as you might not be able to find the utilities for it.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
hi I had the same problem. I upgraded to Windows 7. Some of the Driver's is now ok. my only problem is WLAN Driver. my second digit of the serial number is 8 means it is supported right?
If the second digit of the serial number is an 8 then yes, it should be supported. All of the required drivers and utilities for your model should be found on the support site that covers your geographic region. Since you didn't include any specific information like what country you are from, the COMPLETE model and/or part number there isn't any way for me to be more specific than that though.
You can try running the Toshiba Software Installer (TSI) to see if it can find the necessary drivers if you can get access to the Internet using a wired connection or by using a usb wifi adaptor that you have Win 7 drivers for. You can find the TSI from any Toshiba Support Site.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Thank so much cee_64! I have been looking everywhere to find out if my model was supported for the upgrade. Finally I can escape from the grasps of this horrible OS!

Flood chaos for Northern WA as rising water level threatens East Kimberley regions
- From: AAP
- March 15, 2011
SEVERE floods in Western Australia's East Kimberley region have forced evacuations and destroyed 45 homes, while 20 homes remain uninhabitable.
Nine News reports that nearly every home has been destroyed, with water levels as high as the rooftops of some residences, and that some homes may have to be demolished.
People in Warmun have begun moving to Argyle diamond mine by helicopter and then by bus to Kununurra.
Residents have been taken to Garrjang Village, a fly-in fly-out workers camp, which has accommodation, a first-aid post and a commercial kitchen, according to Fire and Emergency Services Authority.
Other aircraft will also assist with the move, which will be undertaken over a few days due to the number of airlifts required to transfer 250 people.
The Department for Child Protection (DCP) advises that a total of 103 people have been evacuated from Warmun to Kununurra. 11 were evacuated yesterday and a further 92 evacuated by 6pm today.
The remaining 100 people will be housed at Turkey Creek tonight and evacuated by helicopter and by bus tomorrow.
The 130 people of Ringers Soak, a community 170 kilometres south east of Halls Creek, will be resupplied tomorrow with food, water and medication. A nurse and doctor will be in attendance and helicopter will be made available for medical evacuation.
Horizon Power said all Warmun properties will need to be assessed before electricity can be restored.
Meanwhile, people in the towns of Wyndham, Kununurra and Halls Creek, including outlying communities in the Ord and Fitzroy River catchments, have been warned to remain alert to the flood threat.
FESA said there is a possible threat to lives and homes due to rising water levels in local rivers and streams, while creeks will be fast flowing and water will rise quickly.
There is no access between Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek due to the closure of that section of the Great Northern Highway.
Several bridges and roads also need repairing, and Main Roads is assessing flood-affected bridge load capacities throughout the region.
The tiny community of Ringer Soak has also been isolated due to flooding across roads and the airport strip, FESA said.
On Monday, two patients from the local hospital were moved to Halls Creek Hospital.
FESA said a helicopter is transporting three tonnes of water and medical supplies to the area, and planes carrying four pallets of fresh food are also expected to arrive in Kununurra on Tuesday,.
A further 20 pallets will be flown from Broome to Kununurra, while 18 pallets will arrive by road from South Australia and the Northern Territory within the next few days.
Two fixed-wing planes from Broome will distribute six tonnes of food during the next few days to Halls Creek, FESA said.
This morning, the Bureau of Meteorology said little or no rainfall was reported in the Ord River catchment over the previous 24-hours.
It said water levels are still falling in the Dunham River but minor to moderate flooding will continue in the lower Ord catchment as the flood waters move downstream.
Deputy Premier Kim Hames flew to the East Kimberley on Tuesday afternoon to inspect the damage.
Premier Colin Barnett said Dr Hames would give feedback to the government and ensure assistance was provided to those affected by the flooding.
"Our first priority is the safety of people affected by this flooding," he said.
"Rebuilding this region will require an ongoing effort, and as a first step, I have asked the deputy premier to inspect the area so we can understand the priorities."
Dr Hames said he intended to meet members of the local council and Kimberley Development Commission to discuss the recovery of the region.

great job i hope to one day do 30 years on the road. I work for durham school bus service.I have been driving now for 12 years and I love it. Enjoy your time at home
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma's longtime state pupil transportation director, Randy McLerran, will retire from his position next month.
"It was a difficult decision, but I believe it is time to do something different," McLerran said in an e-mail.
He follows several state directors who announced their retirement last year, most recently Montana's Maxine Mougeot.
McLerran said he intends to stay involved in the industry in a new role, with details to come after his Feb. 10 retirement from the Oklahoma Department of Education.
"I have enjoyed my 20 years as state director and my 31 years in school transportation," he said. "With a combined total of 37 years in public education, I felt it was time to pursue other interests."
McLerran's career in school transportation began as a senior in high school when he drove a bus route. Even while he was a social sciences teacher, a special-education teacher and a principal at schools in Oklahoma and Texas, he drove a school bus.
In 1999, McLerran helped start the Oklahoma School Bus Safety Speech Contest, which spawned a national competition.
In 2001, he was named SCHOOL BUS FLEET's Administrator of the Year for his tireless involvement in the industry and for pioneering many programs that promote safety and awareness.

Serperior VS [Samurott] VS Emboar

May 20th, 2012, 8:41 AM
Choosing a starter in this generation was harder for me then it ever has been. I really like snivy and his evolution chain. I loved that emboar was fire/fighting and samaurott just looks so cool. I ended up with emboar and since I have yet to use the other two and havent been let down by mine yet emboar takes my vote.

God, this is like the opposite of Sophie's Choice. Put them all in the gas chamber, for all I care...
If I had to choose one, it'd probably be Serperior. I used Samurott when playing through Black and ended up kinda hating it for its 'meh' movepool, stats and design. It was just mediocrity incarnate. Emboar, on the other hand, is a critter than I should like but really, really, don't. I mean... just look at it! It's so ugly and slow, and Fire/Fighting types have been done to death. So, that leaves Serperior. It looks sort of OK, and it's really fast, but it is a Grass-type, so that's kind of a Debbie Downer...
May 20th, 2012, 8:46 AM
I agree emboar can learn close combat flare blitz shockwave and so many other moves I chose tepig too and will continue too snivy maybe in bw2 but more than likely emboar and if its a b name sparticus andand if its a girl name it tippy lol
May 20th, 2012, 9:25 AM
Hi everyone, in white i choose Tepig because i thought it was the best of 'em. I like it, but one of my friends trade me a snivy egg and another friend gave me an oshawoott so I have train them all an i like em. Now in B2 W2 i wanna make a different team to see what happen

Samurott by far! He has swords and a beard, what more do you want? It also has access to Swords Dance and Megahorn, Waterfall ect.
May 20th, 2012, 9:39 AM
Embour for me, it was the first of the three I used and I love it's design.
Atomic Pirate
May 20th, 2012, 10:01 AM
I'd say Serperior, it's the most tolerable one. I seriously don't like any of the starters in this generation.
May 20th, 2012, 10:08 AM
Surprised Emboar is winning but that's what I voted as well. It was my bro in my only playthrough of White, a beast in-game, and looks like a tank. :3
May 20th, 2012, 10:49 AM
This is a VERY tough one. Initially, I was drawn to Serperior, then I was drawn to Samurott. They are both pretty even!
I decided to vote for Serperior, since I like the previous evolutions much better than that of Samurott's. Plus, I am a sucker for grass-types.
May 20th, 2012, 11:18 AM
I vote for Samurott... Emboar is just a slow, powerful fire/fighting... and Serperior... I don't even want to go into how bad it is ;;
Patchisou Yutohru
May 20th, 2012, 1:24 PM
I've used each of them, and Serperior is by far the best for me! Emboar sucks, Samurott's a close second place.
May 20th, 2012, 2:15 PM
Samurott - Because I love Water Starters and he's what I chose in Black (I eventually traded a Serperior and Emboar over but Samurott is my original Unova starter). He can use Surf, which makes the difference.
May 20th, 2012, 4:46 PM
I think they're all awful and I didn't have an overly amazing experience using any of them. I will go with Emboar though because I like Fire types, despite picking Oshawott my first time through White. Samurott is bland to me and Serperior is alright, but nothing mind blowing. Yeeeah I really dislike this batch of starters.
May 20th, 2012, 5:30 PM
I chose Serperior for this generation, but even that's not saying much. The starter Pokémon in this set have pretty wonky stats at best. Serperior has got the speed, which is rare for a grass-type, which is the main reason I chose that over the other two, but still, I find it strange that its defensive stats are higher than its offensive stats; usually it's the other way around. The other two are pretty great at one thing, but they both have no speed, plus Emboar has no defensive stats to back up that high amount of HP that it has.
There's my mouthful.
May 20th, 2012, 5:32 PM
Although I know Serperior will win, COME ON EMBOAR, YOU HAVE THE POWER.
Emboar is best looking and the best, y'all who like the others are just limiting yourselves from true greatness in-game!! :(
May 20th, 2012, 5:36 PM
never fancy grass types since they generally are poor in offense (unless they have another typing like torterra)
emboar is yet another fire/fighting starter, sick of that
so samurott it is
Alpha King
May 20th, 2012, 5:44 PM
Serperior was the only one to really impress me this generation. And what an awesome design
May 20th, 2012, 5:47 PM
Samurott looks plain awesome, so I went with it. Its movepool and stats aren't that bad either compared to the other 2 starters.
May 20th, 2012, 7:20 PM
Even if I've never owned a Serperior I still voted for it just because of it's looks :P
Now imagine if Serperior had a grass/dragon dual typing!
May 21st, 2012, 1:02 AM
if only trollfreak agrees...
Lost Lore
May 21st, 2012, 1:36 AM
Shouldn't be any surprise that I'm going with Samurott. Although I do like all three starters this gen, Oshawott's line was the one I liked the most and naturally my first choice of starter~
May 21st, 2012, 1:38 AM
Samurott gets my vote seeing as how I don't really like Emboar and because it was my starter in White. Not to mention that it carries swords!
May 21st, 2012, 2:15 AM
Much like Syd, I didn't really like these starters, I don't really think they have the flare of the other generations'. Their desins are mediocre at best and I althought I've only used Emboar, I think I'll be ditching my starter in BW2. But if I had to choose a favourite, I'd choose Samurott since it looked so badass in the animated BW2 trailer.
May 21st, 2012, 6:20 AM
Emboar. it's the only one I actually like, and I like it a lot. <3
Dat Heat Crash is so boss, and it's movepool is so fun to play with. And it's the only non-water type that's ALSO A FIRE TYPE to be able to learn Scald. BOSS.
May 21st, 2012, 6:53 AM
Emboar was the only one I actually liked using in-game, so I choose that. Serperior was just meh overall, and I couldn't even bear to keep Dewott in my team until it evolved. It also has my favourite design of the three, which isn't really saying much, since I'm not a massive fan of any of them.
May 21st, 2012, 7:14 AM
I'll say design wise, it's Serperior, I was amazed by the beauty of it's evolution chain, they all look so "Graceful". It's the FIRST grass type in the entire Pokemon history that grabs my attention...it's the first grass starter I choose as well. I was kinda disappointed by Emboar's design and lack of speed, but even though, his stats are still powerful and helpful. But I'm Serperior all the way, just amazing...
May 21st, 2012, 7:14 AM
Choosing Samurott, because:
it has the coolest design
it is a swordsman
it is an otter
May 21st, 2012, 7:57 PM
Even if I've never owned a Serperior I still voted for it just because of it's looks :P
Now imagine if Serperior had a grass/dragon dual typing!
While that would make logical sense, I think I'd dislike it more. XD; It would be one ugly dragon imo, fits better as a snake. Plus Emboar couldn't beat it as easily then. :(
May 21st, 2012, 8:22 PM
I choose option D none of the above =p
This and Gen II are pretty close on the least favorite starters but I do like Gatr and Ty is already. Or I could go with option E anyone but Seperior since it is worst starter ever for me or close to it with Meganium. Emboar typing wah!!! Samurott lack of other type wah? For me switch the fighting and I would have loved Samurott. Fine with either of them winning, as long as its not Serperior. Wish instead of casting a vote for I could do it against.
May 22nd, 2012, 2:10 AM
Needs more Samurott! I really don't see what's so bad about these starters. Then again I'm a sucker for all Pokémon pretty much Really though! They're pretty amazinggg. But Samurott is definitely the better choice, so gogogo! ;)
May 22nd, 2012, 2:40 AM
I vote for Serperior, because Snivy was the one I picked in the beginning of the game, and I like the look of it more then the other two starters.
May 22nd, 2012, 2:45 AM
I'm so happy Samurott's leading, he's my fave of the bunch and he was my starter in Black.
May 22nd, 2012, 2:58 AM
I vote for Samurott! Oshawott is my favorite pokémon in all generations!
May 22nd, 2012, 10:56 AM
In all honesty, I don't like any of them... not because they're new or anything like that. Just really not a fan of most of the Gen 5 pokemon; they strike me as bottom of the barrel ideas to be brutally honest. I guess Serperior's the one I'd choose if I had to, because it's reasonably cool-looking and was okay to battle with when I played through Black.
May 22nd, 2012, 11:56 AM
Samurott, I do like Emboar, but Samurott (and the whole Oshawott line, actually) are my 3rd favorite starter line.
May 22nd, 2012, 5:22 PM
My black version I had a pretty hard time choosing. But I Chose Tepig and it has became one of my favorite pokemon. So I have to go with Emboar all the way.
May 22nd, 2012, 6:06 PM
To be honest, i dont prefer any new starter. emboar is cool but im usually a water starter.
May 22nd, 2012, 6:38 PM
This was a tough choice, but I had to go with Samurott. It's a decent sweeper with a decent movepool, and has access to Swords Dance, which helps make up for its below-average attack stat. It may have low speed, but after a Swords Dance, it more than makes up for it in attack power. Also, Oshawott is going to be the starter I choose for White 2. So, Samurott it is!
May 25th, 2012, 12:02 AM
Choosing the final evolutions or the family overall? Well either way I'm sticking with Serperior. It's got the best looking design of the three. ALl three evolutions are at least decent. Emboar's family look disgusting. And Samurott is cool, The Oshawott/Dewott family are the worst looking Pokemon I've ever seen. Personally I don't see how they could evolve into a cool Pokemon such as Samurott in the first place. Oh well.
May 26th, 2012, 2:03 AM
I'll go with Serperior, why? Because I have a soft spot for Grass Starters plus I chose one in Black.I turned it into a monster with TM and Training now she might be traded to Black 2 when I get it.So Serperior it is.
May 26th, 2012, 2:28 AM
It's a close tie between Serperior and Samurott.
Come on Samurott! Do it for my cute Oshawott!
I'll be annoyed if Serperior wins cos it has the worst movepool of the three.
And as expected I knew Emboar would fall behind for being "ugly".
May 26th, 2012, 2:41 AM
I chose Samurott because I have a huge weak spot for Water-types, and I really think it has a great Learnset.
May 26th, 2012, 5:26 AM
Samurott... I don't like these three starters. I think they're the worst of all generations... But there's one that's a little better than the others : the water-type. Anyway I always prefer the water-type.
Emboar's design is just awful, and there's something that disturbs me with Serperior... Maybe because I wouldn't have imagined a starter to be a grass-type snake... Well, Samurott is less worse.
May 26th, 2012, 8:18 AM
I never liked these starters, but I voted for Samurott because I actually used it in a playthrough. Oh, and it has a sick-nasty sword.
May 26th, 2012, 9:02 AM
Serperior, which is, at least relative to other starters (of all generations), fast and defensive which is a rare configuration for anything in any video game. I guess it's a physical Sceptile plus access to Coil, but I'm not very familiar with starters since I don't use them; and Serperior is, despite its novel stat distribution, not built to how I would play a Grass-type though I would consider it for a Grass monotype challenge.
My expressed views don't seem very positive... it's not this generation, I'm just not enthusiastic about starters in general.
May 26th, 2012, 9:45 AM
Samurott all day. After Gen I, he Water starter always has the most originality: They've used Grass/Poison and Fire/Fighting nearly every time, whereas we've had Water, Water/Ground, and Water/Steel.
(By the way, for Gen V I was really hoping for Grass/Psychic, Water/Fighting, Fire/Dark. Would've made a lot more sense IMO.)
May 26th, 2012, 10:16 AM
the starters of this generation leaves much to be desired. although, i'd choose emboar over the other two because of his high attack stat and his potential to be a powerful offensive sweeper. i have a thing for those kinds of pokemon because usually i'd battle with an all offense team and perhaps with an occasional wall pokemon or something. the downside is that emboar is ridiculously slow and that's what'll render him hopeless if an opponent outruns him in a battle. in a sense, he's an utter disappointment to his legendary fire/fighting predecessors, infernape and blaziken - both of whom contributed a huge chunk of power to my gen 3 & 4 teams.
serperior was just completely useless in all aspects of battle (though i have to give it credit for having a high speed stat) and i had to dump it in the pc a little before i got to the victory road because it was holding my team down. as i've said, i often build an offensive team and serperior is by no means offensive at all. i haven't tried samurott yet but it's unlikely i'd ever even try to try him because i rarely veer out of my fire starter choice. snivy was just an exception because his design was intriguingly better than the two - but that's all there is to snivy and his evolution line anyway.
May 26th, 2012, 10:42 AM
Emboar has the best look, but his fighting type is a betrayal of all players.
Samurot is my next choice. I only wish it was more clear that Samurot could stand up and draw a bone sword from his arm. If his sprite reflected this, I would be happier with his design.
Ephemeral Euphoria
May 26th, 2012, 11:25 AM
Used all 3 on White post game and I'm comfortable with saying that Emboar's easily my personal favorite due to how hard it hits right off the bat compared to the other 2 and has decent coverage to boot as well. That and it's DW ability is amazing with Flare Blitz and a Choice Band equipped lol. And I love its design too, especially its shiny form. Granted its speed is much to be desired but at the very least it can learn Flame Charge to help patch up that drawback to an extent.
May 26th, 2012, 11:53 AM
I think that Serperior is my favorite. I chose Snivy first because the others didn't look very appealing. Plus I haven't choose grass very many times. I think that Serperior has the best design, and has pretty good base stats. It was okay in battle, with that nice speed. Once I trained it good, it was amazing. So, Serperior is superior!
Beth Sycamore
May 26th, 2012, 4:22 PM
I vote for Tepig/Pignite/Emboar,and these are my reasons why.
pigs are cute,and I like them
Emboar's color design reminds me strongly of Ganon,which is Ganondorf's demon form.and of the gerudo colors and patterns.
Emboar can hurt you by fire,and by K.O. hits
May 26th, 2012, 5:33 PM
I went with Serperior as snakes are one of my favourite animals and I love all its forms :)
Samurott is second cause I love otters but I only like its final form :)
May 26th, 2012, 6:13 PM
I really liked Snivy as the starter, and my personal favorite 3rd stage starter this generation is serperior. The name really matches the whole "attitude" of this poke.
May 27th, 2012, 7:56 AM
Looks like Samurott won. o__O How unexpected and sad! Unstickying, keep posting if you wanna :)
May 27th, 2012, 1:26 PM
Well done Samurott! My cute Oshawott is now doing his victory dance.
June 5th, 2012, 11:50 AM
Serperior for elegance
Samurott for coolness
Emboar for power
June 5th, 2012, 3:50 PM
With each generation the starters keep getting weirder. I would have to say Serperior as my favorite of these though. That makes the first grass starter I have liked over the others. :)
June 8th, 2012, 6:09 PM
Samurott all the way <3 It has this fantastic move set that's very diverse, it can learn grass knot which was more handy than I ever thought it'd be and was a surprise to many of my opponents, besides it has a very cool design and I felt connected to it somehow "how nerdy".. it's easily one of my favorite pokes I must say!
June 13th, 2012, 9:05 PM

Nah that's not nerdy! I'm sure a lot of people have felt connected to their favourite starters. Emboar's certainly my favourite because I feel most comfortable with it, due to having the most experience with it - which could also count as being most connected to it n_n

I agree with you Nica, I feel most connected to Samurott given that I love Oshawott not to mention I work best with Water Starters.
June 14th, 2012, 1:08 AM
Out of the three, I've used a Serperior and a Samurott, and Serperior (despite the water type having a better movepool) was a lot more fun to raise and more powerful etc. I also like his design more.
June 15th, 2012, 3:31 AM
i cant choose between the three, i got both games just to get all the starters in one file. serperior has great defence and speed but when ev trained in attack its really good. emboar has incredible health and strengh and could really pack a punch when needed. samurott is just overalled between all his stats.
if i had to choose just 1, it has to be serperior because the third gym makes you level up and from thier your over leveled
June 16th, 2012, 1:31 PM
I always choose the grass starter because they have the greatest potential except Meganium didnt rlly like it. my serperior is excellent and ALL of his stats are close to 300!!!!

Script to add Desktop Shortcut
This project received 13 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $16 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Skills Required
Project Budget$25 - $30 USD
Total Bids13
Project Description
Seems sooo simple, but I can't get it happening. I think it would have to be written in VBScript, but I don't know.
I need a script so that when a user clicks a link on a web page it adds a shortcut to that web page on the user's desktop.
Optionally if it's possible, I would much rather this be a drag and drop operation where the user drags an icon from the page to the desktop.
Although I'd like it to work in all browsers, I am aware that this probably isn't possible.
As long as it works in IE it's good.
Pre-made scripts with instructions are fine. I can't find one.
Thank You.
## Deliverables
I just need the scripts and if neccessary any instructions or pertinent info.
## Platform
UNIX Server, must work with Internet Explorer, shortcuts need to work on Win2000/XP

Everything was outstanding! The rooms, location, food, and most of all Bill and Joe! Terrific hosts! I felt like I have a new home! See you soon...
5 on August 03, 2016
Rooms, house, and grounds were all perfect. Bill and Joe were gracious hosts, and incredibly accommodating--Bill even helped get our car unstuck. Breakfast was fantastic, and we had an amazing time in general exploring Warwick. Highly recommend the Inn at Stony Creek.
4.0 on July 11, 2016
Was very impressed with the Inn At Stony Creek. We were greeted immediately by Bill and Joe when we arrived and they were so warm and welcolming. They provided a great overview of the room and the inn and even introduced us to a new gosling they were caring for in their inn. We absolutely loved it and plan to return again soon.
5 on June 29, 2016
Had a surprise celebration for my wife's birthday that included multiple guests on multiple nights. Bill and Joe made sure that everything was fantastic - from the breakfasts to the way all of my guests felt at home to the attention to detail to the quality of the rooms and food and grounds...etc. etc.etc. Just an overall great experience at a superb establishment with delightful customer service. In other words - wonderful!
3.8 on May 04, 2016
The bed & breakfast was charming and the host were very welcoming. The breakfast was great and i would definitely go back!
5 on April 01, 2016
Bill and his exotic birds provided wonderful conversation and entertainment! Many thanks---this is not the last visit, for sure!
5 on January 20, 2016
I've always dreamed of going to a B&B and the Inn at Stony Creek was my first ever stay at one. You can imagine I had some high expectations, and this Inn met and even exceeded all of them! The innkeepers, Bill and Joe, are incredible... gracious, fun, accommodating, warm, and so welcoming! Their breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the room was clean and lovely, and everything about the place was gorgeous! We stayed in the Appalachian room, which had an electric fireplace and a very large tub for two. It truly was the perfect romantic getaway, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for just that! Room Tip: The Appalachian room has a private entrance for super convenient access to your car and is away from other rooms (extra privacy).
4.0 on January 13, 2016
We recently stayed at the Inn at Stony Creek. We loved the inn itself, it was decorated so warmly and welcoming. The breakfast was outstanding. Bill and Joe are very nice and we felt very welcome. The only downfall is the bed. It was not very comfortable and we did not sleep that well. We will definitely be back and try a different room in hopes the bed will be more comfortable.
4.8 on January 10, 2016
My wife gave ourselves a Christmas present - 2 nights at the Inn at Stony Creek. And we definitely didn't regret it. The building and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Bill and Joe were attentive and more than pleasant. The Fox and Hound Room was a sight for sore, tired eyes. The only two - minor - negatives were that the bathroom was very cramped and the hot water was a little iffy. But everything else about our experience was A+. And our breakfasts were just the perfect start to explore Warwick, Chester and Sugar Loaf for two days. Could not think of a better way to spend the first two days of 2016 and recharge our batteries for the year to come! - Michael and Stefanie

"Good read but don't expect the movie's storyline"
Anne Hathaway does a very good job of reading and performing the story. It may be a little too dark for very young children. However for older children and adults it offers a very good listen. However, don't expect the storyline from the movie or even from Maguire's WICKED book, if you do you will be disappointed. The characters you know are all there but they are different and the plot is different. I would recommend the story to anyone who want's a different take on the Wizard of Oz story.
Say something about yourself!
"Excellent performance by Hathaway!"
Familiar story but great reading by Hathaway keeps listeners engaged!
Hathaway keeps the listeners (mainly my children, but me too!) engaged. Our favorite parts of the story, thanks to Hathaway's characterization of each character, are the stork's rescue of the Scarecrow in the river and the indignant Queen of the Field Mice as she responds to the Tin Man's unintentionally demeaning response to her after he saves her life. My daughter could not help but keep rewinding those parts to listen to it over and over again -- giggling and laughing at Hathaway's excellent creation of these characters' voices. Hathaway's performance made revisiting this book a delight.
Please record more books, Anne Hathaway!
"5 Stars!!! Anne Hathaway is awesome!"
Very impressed with the narrator, she was so versitable with all the characters. Many different voices, she is so talented!
"Great performance by Anne Hathaway"
Fun, entertaining, enjoyable
Anne did an awesome job with the characters, it was very entertaining!
True to the story by L. Frank Baum, as well as the TV movie.
"The classic"
What do you expect? We've all seen the movie. Now hear what you missed. Anne does a great job!
Her tone gave this a fairy tale feel that I think might keep younger kids entertained.
The Oracle Reviews
"The wonderful wizard of Oz"
I never got to read this story growing up and didn't want my children to miss out, so when i saw that Anne Hathaway was the narrator I grabed it. I decided to listen it and was drawn in by Anne's performance. She broughtlife to all the characters in the world of OZ and new life to this the story.
Its a childs story that can be enjoyed by an adult with a young heart.
She is a supreme actress with great talent. I loved her performance.
I consider this stroy to be a classic. I find that when a classic like this is narrated by an actor or group of actors it adds new life to a story. I wish more classics were given the opportunity to have new life.
"Five stars across the board"
I'm not usually a big fan of Anne Hathaway but honestly this was one of the best audible narratives I've heard. She was fabulous. The story was not the same as the old movie. It was much better. No matter what your age you'll like it.
"Loved it"
Great story, loved her different voices !
Listened to this with my 5 year old son and he loved it :)
"A good story and performance"
top quarter
No favorites; Ms Hathaway made them all come alive.
No favorite; many good, very good scenes.
Ms. Hathaway's quirky voices made this an enjoyable listen; the great story made made it easy.
The story just wasn't very good. Also the reader made very odd voice inflections and voices.
probably not.
It didn't spark anything, just very blase.

We also really missed tiago in this one. He has defended LMA well in the past, despite losing to them constantly. Maybe Timmy should have gotten the call against LMA earlier in this one. I don't think Lopez would have been able to exploit diaw. And if he did, we could have used baynes, but everyone gates him so I guess that was never an option. I thought Ayres could have got some run as well. He can stay in front of LMAo, but probably didn't have the strength or discipline to defend him in the post.
When is kawhi going to stop screwing around and be more aggressive. I guess it's a tough position to be in, having to be subordinate to the big 3 while being asked to expand his game. The kid still needs to take what's open.
Another athletic western conference power, another loss
Pingback: Spurs lose to another elite team, but you shouldn't lose sleep over it()
Guys, we still have over 3 months of basketball left. These younger teams always look better than us early, but usually fan out by the end of the season. With Ayres playing better and better, it should light a fire under Tiago's ass I hope when he gets back. Another thing fans lose sight of, is that we r the bully, and the up and coming teams bring their best games against us. We r the measuring stick for them. On the flip side, it's hard for us to understand as fans what goes on inside the minds of HOFs, who have forgotten more about basketball than the whole Blazers team. They know they have to save what they have left for when it counts. (Looking at u Miami)

How to Keep Your Kids From Getting Sick on Halloween Candy
It was Halloween 1984. I was a ballerina because as most little girls are at some point in their little lives, I was on a hardcore ballerina kick. As I walked from house to house collecting Halloween candy, I'd sneak my hand into my pillow case and pluck out a piece or two and pop it into my mouth. By the time I got home, I had the worst stomach ache of my life.

Canon EOS 60D Review
1 Introduction
|2 Next
Canon's X0D series has throughout its life appealed to a wide range of photographers, from enthusiasts and semi-pros through to some pros who appreciated having a lightweight option. Each model offered a high enough specification (usually in terms of build quality and AF sophistication) to ensure it was both aspirational and attainable for users who had out-grown their Rebel/XX0D series. However, the feature set always left a sizeable gap below the company's full-blown 'pro' models.
The arrival of the EOS 7D, with its highly configurable 19-point AF system and 8 frames per second continuous shooting capability changed much of this - here was a 'mini 1D' that drew the attention of many people who previously would have been X0D customers. However, the price tag (a 30% premium over the 50D at launch) pushed it beyond the reach of most people who weren't making at least a bit of money from their photography.
The 50D (and by extension the X0D range) was starting to look somewhat redundant: expensive (and in some ways outdated) compared to the rebel T2i (EOS 550D), underpowered compared to the EOS 7D. It seemed obvious that Canon needed something to balance out the EOS range to fill the big gap between the Rebel and the 7D. And so we have this, the EOS 60D.
With the 60D Canon has unashamedly moved the X0D range out of the 'semi pro' bracket and instead focused on the enthusiast photographer looking to upgrade from their Rebel. As a result, it's not the obvious continuation of the 30D - 40D - 50D pattern that its naming might suggest. Instead it sits pretty well precisely in the same market position as was once-upon-a-time occupied by the 'Elan' series of 35mm film SLRs (which in Europe were not-so-coincidentally given double-digit model numbers).
So gone is the magnesium alloy construction that featured in previous models, replaced by a lighter weight plastic shell. Naturally the 60D gains some key 'step up' features from the Rebel line (top panel LCD, rear control dial, higher burst rate), including a few that have trickled down from the EOS 7D. There's also a video- (and tripod-) friendly 3:2 ratio articulated LCD. In imaging terms it brings the EOS mid-range in line with those above and below by upping the sensor resolution to around 18MP and adding full HD movie capture.
The EOS 60D also gains a couple of brand-new features of its own. There's now a wide range of color variations (or 'Ambiences') which can be applied to the image when using the scene modes, and whose effect can be previewed on screen in Live View. The 60D also finally gains the ability to convert raw files to jpeg in-camera, including the option to correct for lens aberrations including distortion and chromatic aberration. As an added bonus, you can retrospectively apply new 'Creative Filters' to files you've shot, including 'Grainy Black and White' and 'Toy Camera' looks.
And so, from a spec and feature point of view, the EOS 60D sits almost exactly half-way between the EOS 550D and the EOS 7D, with a few new tricks of its own. Which, we think, is exactly where it should be (regardless of the inevitable howls of protest at the apparent 'dumbing down' of the venerable X0D line).
Key features
- 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor
- ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12,800)
- 5.3 fps continuous shooting
- 1080p HD video recording with manual controls
- SD / SDHC / SDXC storage
- In-camera raw development
- Subject modes with 'Ambience Selection' (Standard, Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, Cool, Brighter, Darker and Monochrome)
- In-camera Creative Filters (special effects)
- Fully articulated 3.0" screen (3:2)
|The 60D's position in the range is immediately apparent when lined-up between the EOS 550D (Rebel T2i) and the 7D - it's a model that sits half-way between the two, without coming too close to either.
Canon EOS 60D vs 50D: Key Differences
Placing the 50D alongside the 60D it becomes clear that the new camera is not a simply a direct upgrade but a repositioned model. The most obvious difference is that it's smaller and, of course, no longer features a metal body.
- Higher resolution sensor (17.9MP vs. 15.1MP)
- Accepts SD, rather than CF memory cards
- No flash sync socket
- Wireless Speedlight control
- Support for optional infra-red remote release
- Articulated 3:2 high resolution LCD screen
- Plastic body shell (8% weight saving)
- Standard ISO range extends to 6400, rather than 3200
- User-definable Auto ISO upper limit
- HD video recording 1080 p30/25/24 or 720p60/50 plus cropped 640 x 480 movie mode
- New features: in-camera raw conversion, ambience settings, creative filters, more JPEG options
- No joystick, no multi-flash support, simplified top plate & info panel, only one Custom mode, no AF micro-adjust
- Slightly reduced customization options
- Redesigned control layout with slightly fewer buttons
- Lower burst rate
Compared to the EOS 50D and EOS 7D: core feature and specification differences
As you can see from the table below the 60D is not an unequivocal upgrade from the 50D in the same way that previous cameras in the range have been. Essentially it's a 50D in a smaller body, the includes a flip-out screen and the sensor used in the Rebel T2i (550D) and 7D, with all the HD movie recording capability that brings.

60D seems a real hybrid and hails the videographers mostly. IQ as good as 7D and video is near the level of 5D mark II at 100-1600 iso range. That is a bargain combo for amateurs and pro-sumers alike.It is necesarry to use it with fast primes to get the most of from the sensor.Still I do not like the motion jpeg compression and so does the video quality of nikons.If You have money to invest some superior Canon primes and wish to get best of both worlds (video&stills;) without bankrupt it seems 60D is the right decisio?n to go for..
To my mind Canon EOS 60D is great for the ambitious amateur or dedicated professional, this Canon DSLR camera makes it a snap to produce high-quality pictures and movies. The included UD zoom lens provides a high-resolution photo with reduced chromatic aberration and its refined image stabilization technology steadies the shot and reduces blur, resulting in a sharp and clear picture.
