Some time ago, a reader of this site suggested that we were taking bribes from Canon, because every single review of a Canon camera was full of glowing praise. I can assure you that we are utterly incorruptible, but I'm afraid this is going to be another good review for Canon. The reason is very simple. With only one or two rare exceptions, Canon's digital cameras are all excellent, although they do tend to be a bit pricey. Unfortunately it makes for a pretty boring review, but what am I going to do?
Canon now has no less than 27 models in its digital compact range, filling every possible niche in the market. The five models in the S series are aimed at users who are looking for something more capable than a snapshot camera, but not as complex as a semi-pro or SLR model. The new S80 is the top of the S range at the moment, and offers eight megapixel resolution, a useful range of creative features, the latest DIGIC II image processing engine and a superb 3.6x optical zoom lens.
Despite its power and creative potential, it still manages to be stylish, compact and easy to use. However all these good things come at a price, and the S80 will set you back a not inconsiderable £498.99, which is an awful lot of money for a compact camera.
When you first get the S80 out of the box, you know at once where that money went. The initial impression is of sleek style and superb build quality. It's quite a chunky camera, and surprisingly heavy for its size. It measures 104 x 57 x 38.8mm and weighs a hefty 225g minus the battery and card, so you're not going to be carrying it in your shirt pocket, unless your shirts are made out of Kevlar.

My last Powershot broke. It was then sent to Canon for repair. It has since broken again and is going to cost 50% of the original cost of the camera to repair it again. This does not include the cost of wasted time doing this. Avoid Powershot like the plague.
I was just going to bid on a second hand one on ebay till I read the last comment maybe I will find a lx1 or something else

GOLF: Cink, Haas tied for lead at Houston Open
HUMBLE, Texas — Even as the clouds rolled in at the Houston Open, Stewart Cink started to see some light in his game.
Cink saved par from the bunker on the 18th hole Saturday at Redstone Golf Club for a 4-under 68, giving him a share of the lead with Bill Haas going into the final round. Cink is winless in 81 starts since the 2009 British Open. This is his first time with at least a share of the third-round lead in nearly five years. And it doesn't figure to be easy.
One week after he shared the 36-hole lead at Bay Hill, Haas made seven birdies over his last 13 holes for a 67 and was tied with Cink at 11-under 205.
Twenty players were within four shots. Only three of them — Dustin Johnson, Keegan Bradley and John Merrick — have won on the PGA Tour in the last year. And 12 of them can earn a trip to the Masters by winning.
Steve Wheatcroft, the journeyman who only got into this tournament through a Monday qualifier, got off to a good start and fell back with an embarrassing finish. Wheatcroft was tied for the lead when he shanked a shot from the greenside bunker on the 18th, the ball coming out at a 45-degree angle, over the green and almost into the gallery.
He made a 15-foot putt to salvage bogey for a 72. Wheatcroft still was only one shot out of the lead, along with Ben Crane (67), D.A. Points (71) and Jason Kokrak (71).
Rory McIlroy had a chance to join the mix. Swinging more freely, the world's No. 2 player was poised to reach 6 under for the tournament with a superb bunker shot to 5 feet for birdie on the 13th hole.
He settled for a 71 and was nine shots behind.
PGA EUROPEAN: Germany's Marcel Siem shot a 3-under 69 to extend his lead to four shots after the third round of the European Tour's Hassan II Trophy.
The French Open champion had a 15-under 201 total at Golf du Palais Royal. He needs a victory today to have a chance to get into the top 50 in the world and earn a spot in the Masters.
Finland's Mikko Ilonen, England's David Horsey and Spain's Pablo Larrazabal were tied for second.

Tuscumbia man sentenced to prison for 2012 bank robbery
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A Tuscumbia man was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for robbing a Mid-Missouri bank last year.
David B. Krzysik, 49, pleaded guilty in October to robbing the First State Bank in Iberia at gunpoint on March 15, 2012.
Authorities say Krzysik -- wearing a black wig, fake beard and sunglasses -- placed a black revolver on the bank's counter and demanded money. Officials say he left the bank with more than $3,600.
Krzysik also admitted to trying to rob the Central Trust Bank 30 minutes later. However, bank employees saw him walking toward the door and locked the front door.
Police were able to arrest Krzysik after he drove off a road, into a wooded area and down an embankment.
A judge sentenced Krzysik to eight years, three months in federal prison.

Just for fun, I wanted to make sure everyone has seen the fabulous YouTube video The Mean Kitty Song, from hunky cat guy Corey "Mr. Safety" Williams. The video features Corey's adorable tabby Sparta who has been featured in many more videos since his debut in The Mean Kitty Song.
I love Corey's bio on his YouTube page:
I'm just a guy who likes to make videos. Most of them are parodies of my real life or actual experiences that I want to share with others. My goal in life is to inspire people to be themselves in order to lead happier lives. Love is my religion and my art pays the rent : )
Happy Friday!

Car News
New Cars for 2012: Lexus Full Lineup Info
Charting the changes for the 2012 model year.
'13 GS: A new GS will unwrap as a 2013 model with styling based on the LF-Gh concept shown in New York this past April. If Lexus concept cars are indicative of the future (and they usually are), we figure the GS's basic profile will stay about the same. As the concept is a hybrid, expect a production hybrid along with conventional six- and eight-cylinder options.
|CT200h: Lexus's hybrid hatchback launched this year as a 2012 but receives a new F Sport package with a firmer suspension, 17-inch wheels, and sporty trim inside and out. The F Sport Special Edition gets you all that, plus different wheels, blue seats instead of black, F Sport floor mats, and a Tumi backpack.
|LS460/460L: Only 250 copies will be built of the LS Sport Authentic Special Edition (will the badge even fit on the trunk?). This short-wheelbase, rear-drive LS will have 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, summer rubber, Brembo brakes, a sportier suspension tune, some exterior trim changes, sport seats, Obsidian black paint over a black/gray two-tone interior, and a list of luxury amenities. Figure on a mid- to high-$80K price.
|RX350: The premium fuel requirement has been dropped, and an appearance pack includes 19-inch "Superchrome" wheels.
|ES350: A new Touring Edition sports 17-inch wheels, wood accents, navigation, and heated and ventilated leather seats.
|HS250h: This wee hybrid sedan gets a new front bumper and grille, as well as eco-friendly plastics.
Minor trim changes: ES350, GX460, IS F, IS250/350, IS250C/350C, RX350
Unchanged: GS350/460, LFA, LS600h L, LX570, RX450h
Dead: GS350/450h/460

Re: so i was cleaning out my granpas warehouse and found a car
That's a cool car to find! I like those big 75s.
The phones look like they are just for the passenger to talk to the driver which is kind of pointless in a car that size. Even in the 70s the CB car phones had more to them then those ones do.

Re: so i was cleaning out my granpas warehouse and found a car
Sorry to come late, but I agree with the rest of the gang. Those TH400s are literally the most durable automatics ever built. I had a beat to hell 78 SDV and when I got it, it would hesitate to go into gear. I pulled the pan, and found so much clutch goop, it was insane. Like I could have made snowballs, err I mean clutch lining balls and threw them at people. Anyhow, I just got all that goop out of the pan, put a new filter on it, pout some ATF in there and away I went. That tranmission shifted perfect, it was soo smooth. I am sure that car hasn't been subjected to a fraction of the abuse the 78SDV had sustained, so there is little doubt a new filter would do the trick.
I noticed this thread getting kind of stale too, please update soon. I love that car.

iOS7 and Uconnect Mobile App
Anybody else have issues with the Uconnect Mobile App not working who upgraded to ios7 yesterday? The app works OK on android platforms, but I get account is locked when trying to access from any device that has iOS7....
Re: iOS7 and Uconnect Mobile App
I've had iOS7 since the first beta and it has worked fine. There was one time where one of the updates (#6 I believe) caused that same problem. Just logout of the app and log back in. Should clear that up but yes, I've heard it's been buggy for some IOS7 users.
Re: iOS7 and Uconnect Mobile App
I have tried to log out, back in..even removed the app and reinstalled...still doesn't work...Any other ideas?
Re: iOS7 and Uconnect Mobile App
I tried it with my Android phone and it logged in just fine with no problems so it looks to be a problem with iPhones only. I'm glad my personal phone is Android. The iPhone is from my job. ;)
Re: iOS7 and Uconnect Mobile App
i should have searched first.. sorry..
same problem here. account "locked"
Mine worked just fine until a few days ago. Whenever I launch the app it asks me for my ID and password. I enter them in, hit log in and it shuts down the app. This is on my iPhone 4S with IOS 6.1.3. I updated to IOS 7 and still with the same issue. What a waste. Good thing it's free for a year.

Unfortunately we now have >310,000,000 people that just WILL NOT (can not?) learn that system. We could be like the Brits with their cars - measure distance in miles but buy petrol in litres. I mostly understand the system, but still have trouble visualizing the relationship to real life. For instance, the wheelbase for my '31 is 103.5 inches but in mm it's 2628.9 (103.5x25.4). How many folks would have the same problem. Then you get into acres vs hectares on how many millions of property deeds which some politician would make into law on property transfer would be required to be converted to the decimal system. This translates into costs to people as well as state, and local offices as well as banks/lenders - and it goes on and on and on.

Opening The Old Testament
A Grace-Filled God: Reflections on Genesis 6
Lectionary Reflections, Year A
Genesis 6:11-22, 7:24, 8:14-19
June 26, 2011
The collectors of the lectionary have attempted in this series of texts to offer the preacher something like the story of the flood. Unfortunately, in my estimation their choice has missed what is truly important about this memorable narrative. So, I wish to offer my own collection of texts from Genesis 6-8 in order to tell the ancient tale in its most theologically significant way.
It must be admitted that Genesis 6-8 is definitely a composite text; there are at least two traditions of the flood tale lurking in these chapters. That is made crystal clear to the reader when she notices that the most famous detail of the story, the animal trek into the ark "two-by-two" (Gen. 6:19) is not matched by Genesis 7:2, where she reads that God commands Noah to take "seven pairs of clean animals" but only "one pair of unclean animals" into the ship. The traditional scholarly view of this disparity is that two writers are plying their literary trades in the story. Though I tend to agree, the fact remains that the text we now have is Genesis 6-8. It is that story that needs to be read.
The crucial opening verse of the account is Genesis 6:5: "YHWH saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually." This is the NRSV translation, and it is a fair one. However, there are important nuances in the language that must be noted.
The word rendered "inclination" becomes in later reflection a very important anthropological one. It was said by certain rabbis that every human being possessed a "yetzer tov and a yetzer ra," that is "a good inclination and a bad inclination." These two basic human traits were forever at war with one another for the "soul" of each human. YHWH's appraisal of these pre-flood people is thoroughly negative.
"The thoughts of their hearts" means their wills and intentions, since the "heart" was thought to be the seat of will and intelligence; the Hebrews knew nothing of brains. And these "thoughts" were "only evil, or "without exception bad," literally "all day long." The enormous exclusivity of this sentence cannot be missed. There is exactly nothing to redeem these wretched human beings, and as a result, in an amazing sentence, "YHWH was sorry to have made humankind on the earth," and "was grieved in the divine heart." While the humans know only evil in their hearts, their creator, YHWH, knows only grief and sorrow at the human creation, now gone so badly and completely wrong. From the joy and wonder of the garden of God in chapter 3, we have now come to this: a thoroughly depraved and wicked humanity. The divine one can see no alternative to a cleansing of this evil.
But before the flood is designed to wash the world clean, YHWH chooses Noah (a word meaning "rest") to reconstitute a post-flood world. The Genesis text says precisely nothing about the reasons for YHWH's choice of Noah. Genesis 6:8 merely states that "Noah found favor (grace) in the eyes of YHWH." In other words, Noah appeared favorable in God's eyes; there is nothing distinctive about the old man at all. Well, it does say in Genesis 6:9 that he was a "righteous man, upright (blameless—as is Job in Job 1:1) in his generation." But we cannot forget just what sort of generation Noah is part of—continually wicked! Perhaps we should not overly praise the righteousness of Noah, since he was such only in comparison with his monstrous fellow humans! Nonetheless, he is God's choice for the restoration of the earth.

When it comes to buying a home, most people fit into one of two camps. People either want the features and amenities of a newer home or they want the style and character only an older home can provide. There are huge difference in how you should go about buying each type of home. So, what should you expect?
Homes With Character Could Be A Steal Of A Deal
Homes with character can come one of two ways. They can be perfectly restored and updated while keeping their charm or they can be diamonds in the rough that need some work. Unless you have a big budget and don't want to earn some sweat equity, then you might want to consider looking for the diamonds in the rough that you can customize to your liking. You can save money on the purchase price and customize your home exactly how you want to while keeping the character that attracted you to the older home.
Character Could Cost Big Money In Repairs And Maintenance
These diamonds in the rough could end up costing you more than you bargained for. If you're doing any major renovations you could easily run into unexpected problems that would demolish your budget. When you buy a home, you can't see through the walls to find potential problems with plumbing, electrical and dangerous insulation. That said, if you budget a contingency fund for these problems you could overcome them.
The extra cost isn't all in the renovation phase of owning the home though. Older homes have older equipment and building materials that could require maintenance at any time. Granted, a new home will have these problems after a few years, but generally you don't have to worry about a big dollar repair within the first few years of new home ownership.
New Homes Can Provide The Perfect Fit
For the other camp, new homes are the perfect solution to their house hunting adventure. You can customize anything you want in a new home, provided you pick the right developer and neighborhood. You can pick the perfect floor plan for your family, the perfect paint colors on the walls and the perfect flooring for every room. You can even pick out the perfect appliances. Unfortunately, all that awesomeness usually comes with a higher price tag in the current real estate environment. On the positive side, you shouldn't have to change a thing after your new home is built!
New Construction Isn't What It Used To Be
Like everything else these days, most homes aren't built to the same standards as they used to be. In today's tight economic conditions it's easy to see how builders would cut corners and use cheaper materials to squeeze a little bit more profit out of each house they build. Not all builders will do this, so make sure you find a good quality builder that has a great reputation. You'll pay more for your home, but hopefully it will be built better and there will be more time between big repairs.
Whether you like the character homes or shiny new construction homes, be prepared for what challenges might lie ahead. Realize that everything comes with some good and some bad and be prepared to make the best out of the situations that could provide potential challenges. House shopping should be fun! Just go into it with your eyes wide open.
Which do you prefer? The charming home that could use some work, the more expensive, fully renovated house with charm, or the new build made just for you?

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The University of Akron tennis team posted a 5-2 comeback win at Western Michigan and earned its second-straight victory against Mid-American Conference competition on Friday afternoon indoors at Western Hills Athletic Club.

If you have ever wondered what is was like to be an explorer in the unspoiled American West of the early 1800s, then this is the audiobook for you. Not only a groundbreaking work of American history by critically acclaimed author Robert M. Utley, A Life Wild and Perilous is also a dramatic story of innovation and survival. Here is your chance to live in the very heart of the American wilderness with legendary trappers and mountain men like Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Tom Fitzpatrick, and Jedediah Smith. You will also see how these men played a major role in pushing our national frontier from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, and fulfilling our nation's ideal of Manifest Destiny. Breathtaking in scope, yet filled with the seemingly small decisions that changed the course of a nation, A Life Wild and Perilous is a compelling and fascinating piece of Americana. Travelogue buffs and historians alike will delight in Richard M. Davidson's inspired telling of how the West was really won.

"A lot of good history and quite a story too."
This book fills in a lot of history that has been generally skipped over in favor of the Civil War and other high volume catagories. I listen to audible or read a book to learn. I did that and then some. Hard men, rough time, the building of a nation, the shrinking of nations, fortunes won, fortunes lost, the rise of the U.S. the decline of Mexico, the making of American heroes, the end of the Red man, its all in there. Very well read. Very well written. A bit sad in places. Non fiction tends to be that way sometimes.
"Excellent book (read with a map)"
Very much enjoyed the stories. Having an understanding of the geography of the west is helpful in listening to the book.
"It's alright."
I found the title and publisher's summary a little misleading: "If you have ever wondered what is was like to be an explorer in the unspoiled American West of the early 1800s, then this is the audiobook for you."
There isn't really much detail about "what is (sic) was like", rather it is a summary of the historical record.
It isn't bad, just not as intriguing to me as later accounts of what life was really like on the ground out West such as "The Oregon Trail" by Francis Parkman, and "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains" by Isabella Lucy Bird.
"Bit Dry but a Good Listen"
Develop the characters a bit more. Put more distance from the flat-factual-historical account and embrace more of the human drama behind these stories.
a well written book. it had enough detail to allow one to connect with the figures. yet enough brevity to avoid mind numbing facts.
"Super boring"
It is not engaging at all don't buy it. Just monotone fact after monotone fact over and over and over
"Enjoyed this adventure!"
Very Good Listen
Jedediah Smith. Grandfather of western trappers.
I know many of the places that were in the story and this added to my interest.
"Sorry but disappointing as an audiobook"
Just not a good book to listen to without a reference map and time to process in detail what is being said. Reads more like a history and geography textbooks. Wonderfully researched but confusing and pretty boring to listen to.
Only if they bought the actual book with the maps that are included. Would make a better college course on American Expansionism of the 19th century. A quality, researched book but it couldn't hold my concentration listening in my vehicle while driving to work and I love this subject matter.
Yes. It could be great. Maybe call it the Revenant, the series
Say something about yourself!
"best book about mountain men"
holy shit
give your heart to the hawks,,, same subject
I can work while I listen
its hard to believe this was not all that long ago
best book ever on this subject

When I turned up for the class on Monday, about eight other mums and their babies were there too. The instructor sat us down in a circle on mats with babies on our laps.
Yoga with babies
We started with a gentle warm up, then some simple 'Yoga' movements. They were really just movements and stretches we could do with our babies.
Naly seemed to be the most excited with the movements, every time I moved, she would let out a loud laugh and it made everyone else laugh. She also seemed to enjoy looking at the other babies, I think if she could crawl to touch them she would. inquisitive little pup that she is.
We did some exercises on the babies by holding their hands or feet and tapping them gently together.
There was one particular exercise all the babies seem to enjoy: we have to walk into the centre of the large circle we formed whilst holding our babies in front of us, so all the babies can look at each other, they all waved their arms and legs about with excitement.
It's a great way to bond with our babies and do something together. It's also very sociable by meeting the other mums and babies.
Free Dental care
Pregnant ladies and mums in the first year after the birth of their babies can get free dental care. So I took this advantage and booked for an appointment to see the dentist, I have been naughty and haven't been to the dentist for a few years.
Luckily I didn't need too much work, just needed some cleaning on my gums. Whilst I was at the dentist, I wanted her to help me to clear something up.
Ryan and I have argued over many times because of our cultural differences:
When to brush teeth in the morning? First thing before breakfast or after breakfast?
In China, I was taught to brush teeth first thing in the morning, before eating anything to get rid of the germs, I can't stand putting food in my mouth with the morning breath.
But all my Western friends brush their teeth after breakfast, they tell me they couldn't eat with the minty tooth paste taste in their mouths.
Now we have a baby, Ryan and I have discussed when Naly should brush her teeth when she's older. It seems neither of us would back down with our opinions. Finally we'd get an expert's opinion!
So when I asked my dentist the question, I was very happy to hear her saying it's best to brush your teeth before eating breakfast, because many germs and plaque have developed over night, it's best to get rid of them.
But more importantly the reasoning behind this is that if you have acidic foods/drinks such as orange juice and sugary cereals and jam etc and the acid level in your mouth is very high. Your tooth is essentially being dissolved!
If you brush your teeth immediately after this, you are brushing away the minerals from your teeth and eventually your teeth are going to become very sensitive.
I guess Naly will follow my routine then. I like it when I'm right!

There are certainly going to be a lot of very disappointed Jon Stewart fans when they hear the fact-checking folks over at PolitiFact found their hero to have been false when he accused Fox News watchers of being "the most consistently misinformed media viewers."
Before we get there, here's what NewsBusters' Rich Noyes wrote on this subject just hours ago:
In his June 19 appearance on Fox News Sunday, Comedy Central's Daily Show host Jon Stewart fiercely denounced the Fox News Channel as uniquely biased, and slammed those who watch Fox News as "the most consistently misinformed media viewers....Consistently -- every poll."
Unfortunately for Stewart, he was relying on a methodologically-flawed survey from the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) that in December trumpeted how "those who watched Fox News almost daily were significantly more likely than those who never watched it to believe...." and then listed a series of supposedly false statements.
PolitiFact strongly agreed with Noyes:
[W]e have three Pew studies that superficially rank Fox viewers low on the well-informed list, but in several of the surveys, Fox isn't the lowest, and other general-interest media outlets -- such as network news shows, network morning shows and even the other cable news networks -- often score similarly low. Meanwhile, particular Fox shows -- such as The O'Reilly Factor and Sean Hannity's show -- actually score consistently well, occasionally even outpacing Stewart's own audience.
Meanwhile, the other set of knowledge surveys, from worldpublicopinion.org, offer mixed support for Stewart. The 2003 survey strikes us as pretty solid, but the 2010 survey has been critiqued for its methodology.
The way Stewart phrased the comment, it's not enough to show a sliver of evidence that Fox News' audience is ill-informed. The evidence needs to support the view that the data shows they are "consistently" misinformed -- a term he used not once but three times. It's simply not true that "every poll" shows that result. So we rate his claim False.
You can almost hear the weeping from all of America's Stewart-loving media, can't you?
Readers are advised to completely review Noyes and PolitiFact's analyses to fully understand just how wrong Stewart was.

electrical outlets
I am replacing an existing electrical outlet. It is back wired. How do I get the existing wires out of the back of the outlet so I can remove it? :(
Usually with a small flat blade screw driver or by just cutting the wires and stripping them new. I find its just easier to cut the wires and start new.
Dougie, Just above (below?) where the wires are "back-stabbed" into the outlet is a slot. Insert a small screwdriver tip or romex staple (bent into an "L" shape) and that should relieve the pressure and allow the wire to be set free. Like theatretch83, I usually just snip them off and start over. Much easier. pete

Lake Co. man found guilty in hit-and-run death gets 8 years in prison
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - A Lake County man convicted of hitting and killing a man and his dog, and then leaving them to die by a Mount Plymouth home will spend the next eight years in prison.
Earlier this month, Steven Pegues was found guilty of hitting Stephen Toner and his dog in in 2010.
Emotions ran high as family members of Toner urged Lake County Judge Don Briggs to give Pegues the maximum sentence of 30 years.
"There is a knock at the door and someone yelling, 'Your brother, he's dead,'" said Toner's brother, John Toner. "He's crumpled up. His dog, he was run over, too. He was alive but dying. He was crying and shaking. I'm holding onto him, while I'm looking into the dead face of my brother."
Pegues' mother pleaded for mercy for the sake of his two young daughters.
"This has got to be one of a mother's worst nightmares," she said.
"This is why people drive off," said Toner's daughter, Laura Toner Grimsich. "They figure they're going to get away with it, and this is why it is a recurring problem. The minimum sentence for leaving the scene of a crash involving death is only 23 months."
During the trial, Pegues told the jury that investigators pounded it into his head that he hit a man, and he said they almost had him believing it.
"One of the officers said, 'You need to admit this. The truth will set you free.' I said, 'No sir that is someone's life. I can't accept the fact that I'm going to hit someone and leave them there,'" said Pegues.
Pegues was found guilty of hitting and killing Toner, 68, outside Toner's home, backing up to see what he'd done and then driving off.
Pegues's former girlfriend reported him to police after seeing him look at dents in his car, authorities said.
He testified that when investigators talked to him, he was taking Oxycodone and another medication that a doctor prescribed to him.
"They put in my mind that I hit someone. They had me believing, they actually had me doubting myself," he said.
Pegues said he was not on Oxycodone while driving the night of the crash. He watched with no expression as prosecutors played a recording of a conversation he had with his mother while in jail.
"Yeah, I might have been messed up that night. Regardless of what I was on, it was my birthday weekend. If it wasn't nothing else, it would have been alcohol, which would have been worse. You know?" Pegues said in the recording.
"Yeah," his mother replied.
The defense argued that investigators did not have physical evidence to tie Pegues' truck to the crash scene, however the jury did not agree.

The last time I wrote something about bio-butanol was in September for an article on ICIS Chemical Business*. Gevo just announced its initial public offering (IPO), DuPont's Butamax joint venture opened its demonstration plant in Hull, UK, and Cobalt Technologies and signed up engineering firm Fluor to design its 1.5m gal/year plant which is expected to start in 2012.
In October, I wrote an article for ICIS News* about my interview with Chinese biobutanol producer Cathay Industrial Biotech, which is planning to build its second biobutanol facility either in China or in the US. Cathay Biotech's vice president Paul Caswell expects the planned facility's capacity to be around 100,000 tonnes/year.
The company is currently producing corn-based n-butanol for chemical applications at its 100,000 tonne/year biorefinery in Jilin Province, China. The facility, which uses the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation route, started production in 2009 of about 65-70% butanol, 20-25% acetone and 5-10% ethanol.
Caswell estimated the market growth for butanol in China at 8.9%/year with a market volume as of 2009 at 900,000 tonnes (mostly petrochem-based via propylene-based oxo synthesis) and a value of $1.5bn. Around 55% of butanol in China was imported last year, said Caswell.
An interesting information from Cathay Industrial Biotech unrelated to their bio-butanol is their production of bio-dibasic acids and dicarboxylic acids, which reminded me of Elevance's products of course. The company produces the organic compounds by fermentation of paraffins and Caswell said they have also begun trial production of certain diacids from vegetable oil-based fatty acids.
Caswell noted that they are number 2 supplier in China for their dodecanedioic acid (D12), which has big market use in polyamides manufacture (think of toothbrush bristles!).
Back to bio-butanol, Cathay Industrial said they have no plans (as of yet) to make the product for fuel use as chemicals application is more profitable especially in China.
Meanwhile, the blog saw press releases from Gevo, Cobalt Technologies and Butamax within the past several days. Gevo announced yesterday that its bio-butanol is the first isobutanol to be listed in the EPA's Fuel Registration Directory and is now approved for blending with gasoline.
Gevo will soon begin the retrofit of its first 22m gal/year (GPY) ethanol facility in Luverne, MN, to produce 18m GPY of isobutanol. The Company plans to expand its isobutanol production via the retrofit of additional ethanol facilities over the next few years.
Last week, Cobalt Technologies said it has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Navy to develop technology for the conversion of biobutanol into full performance jet and diesel fuels.
N-biobutanol produced by Cobalt will be converted to bio-jet and biodiesel fuels using technology developed at the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) in China Lake, CA. Cobalt will also have an option to obtain an exclusive license to commercialize process improvements, made under the CRADA, for the production of all military and civilian transportation fuels.
Butamax said it is making big milestones with their bio-butanol as the company prepares for global commercial launch via partnerships and setting up laboratory research, one recently in Brazil to accelerate commercial designs for sugarcane-to-biobutanol.
Butamax is conducting research in India, the UK, Germany and the US as well. The company said it has filed a portfolio of patent applications for its proprietary technology across the biofuel value chain including biocatalyst, manufacturing process and fuel applications.

Fashion Line Designed Specifically For People In Wheelchairs [Video]
IZ Adaptive clothing combines comfort and style into functional clothing designed specifically for a seated frame.
People come in many different shapes and sizes, so clothing has adapted to suit our growing needs. Whether you require petite, plus-sized, long, or big & tall clothing, designers have risen to the challenge of helping many of us look and feel our best, no matter what it is that makes us different. Unfortunately, one minority group that has thus far received little attention from mainstream designers, and little by way of adaptation, is people in wheelchairs. Being in a wheelchair creates very specific difficulties when it comes to the way items fall and drape on the body, and after discovering this, a veteran fashion designer decided to do something about it. She created IZ Adaptive, a clothing line designed specifically for a seated frame.
Izzy Camilleri has worked in the fashion industry for over thirty years. Her stylings have graced the pages of Vogue and InStyle as well as dressed celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez in blockbuster films. When she was contacted by a wheelchair-bound woman requesting some functional yet stylish clothes, Camilleri was eager to jump on board. During the designing process, she became aware of problems caused by things like bulky fabrics and ill-placed zippers, so she designed IZ Adaptive with maximum comfort and maximum style in mind.
On the IZ Adaptive website, Camilleri states that she wanted this line to give people a sense of self, to give them their personality back. She says she wants to create clothes that are making a difference in people's lives, and this collection appears to be doing just that. Saleable items include everything from T-Shirts (which will run you about $24) to motorcycle jackets ($419), but also include things like tearaway jeans and open backed shits that maximize ease during the dressing process. Stretch fabrics that won't add bulk, magnetic buttons that close easily, strategically placed zippers, and style lines that fall and drape naturally on a seated person- without interfering in wheelchair mechanic.
To learn more about this inspiration and inspiring collection, see the video below, then visit the website where you can order clothing in sizes XS-XXL.

Advice for my custom PLEASE!
86 chevy swb fleetside (soon to be chopped 5 inches and lowered a couple more) pickup...I put a rebuilt 350 chevy small blck in it, new transmission, going to put higher gears in it, customizing tail gate so it opens like double doors, new double cowl induction hood,new billet grill, got my eye on some rims to replace my mags that i dont like. im thinking of doing the interior to match the carpet on a box that i installed last weekend behind the seat (which is a tan color). but i really want to do the interior white to accent the black lights that im ordering. i want to paint the exterior black and have the interior solid white. im going to make a custom dash (gotta b different, u know how that is) and carpet it as well as the entire enterior. would the black exterior w/flames (any ideas on colors? i want blue and purple) make a good contrast to the solid white interior? oh i want to get a new bench seat with a fold-down console too. gotta get that recovered whenever i find one. i am putting a lot of time and money into this truck. it is a street truck, has a small cam in it, and soon i will have new gauges (flamed, or digital, or both if i can find it) and make the change to power locks, windows, maybe shaved handles and definately switch to fuel injection. i am going to get a bed cover and carpet the bed and the underside of the bed cover. i am thinking about shaving the tailgate and getting a roll pan w/cadillac or corvette tail lights and maybe turning the (gas tank)filler hose and putting the door inside the bed. but i dont know b/c of the carpet. dont wanna spill gas on it. please send me emails to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com with ANY ideas, do's or dont's, questions or comments, and lots of advice. it will not fall on deaf ears. 'preciate it!
Sounds like a fun project. Hope you enjoy the process.
I think blue or purple flames would look killer on the black body. I am a bit scared for you on the white interior. If it were mine it would be white with greasy butt and hand prints everywhere. I cant keep anything clean.

We recently had the privilege to read a pre-publication copy of Bob Kauflin's forthcoming book from Crossway entitled Worship Matters: Leading Others To Encounter the Greatness of God.
Kauflin, a worship leader and Director of Worship Development at Sovereign Grace Ministries, has written what is a must-read for worship leaders, pastors, and lay ministry leaders with a deep desire to know God and to lead others to the throne of God through corporate worship. Starting with an intensely personal account of his own spiritual journey, Bob pulls from his own extensive experience and Scripture to assemble what may be the most understandable and applicable treatment on the subject of worship from the worship leader's perspective we've seen—what Paul Baloche calls the "art and the heart of worship" in the book's foreword.
Kauflin addresses the topic of worship first from the perspective of the worship leader: What do you love? What do you believe? What do you practice? What do you model? Kauflin then proceeds to evaluate the role and task of a worship leader in today's church, tying Scriptural principles into such topics as music selection, corporate worship, evangelism, the Bible, the role of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, and the church. Also examined are a number of biblical "guiding principles" for determining what is acceptable corporate worship in the sight of God, and how they tie together "healthy tensions" that exist in church. How can you be both rooted in the Word but also relevant to today's world? How do you balance the head and the heart of ministry, the internal and external, the vertical and the horizontal, the planned and the spontaneous, the skillful versus the authentic? Kauflin offers valuable insights into these and other topics.
Kauflin wraps up the book with some key thoughts for pastors, church members, ministry leaders, and worship team members.
Biblically based and contemporaneous in setting, Worship Matters is a book we believe worship leaders will find both encouraging and challenging. Consider giving a copy to your worship team, pastor, and worship leader. This one is a definite must read.
From the publisher, Crossway:
Combining biblical foundations with real-world application, a pastor and professional songwriter guides worship leaders and pastors to root their corporate worship in unchanging scriptural principles rather than divisive trends.
Nothing is more essential than knowing how to worship the God who created us. This book focuses readers on the essentials of God-honoring worship, combining biblical foundations with practical application in a way that works in the real world. The author, a pastor and noted songwriter, skillfully instructs pastors, musicians, and church leaders so that they can root their congregational worship in unchanging scriptural principles, not divisive cultural trends. Bob Kauflin covers a variety of topics such as the devastating effects of worshiping the wrong things, how to base our worship on God's self-revelation rather than our assumptions, the fuel of worship, the community of worship, and the ways that eternity's worship should affect our earthly worship.
Appropriate for Christians from varied backgrounds and for various denominations, this book will bring a vital perspective to what readers think they understand about praising God. Includes a special addendum for pastors and worship leaders.
"Bob loves God, values theology, and cares about people. This mix is found throughout this wonderful and helpful book. Worship Matters will inspire you as a worshiper and spur you on as a leader of worship."
Matt Redman, lead worshiper and song-writer, Brighton, UK
"Bob Kauflin is teaching a new generation to take corporate worship seriously in a fashion that is simultaneously biblically faithful and addressing today's culture."
D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"This book is thoroughly biblical, comprehensive, balanced, clear, and engaging. Worship leaders must read it, and it will be a great help to anyone interested in finding out what biblical worship is about and how to worship from the heart."
John Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary
"Bob's approach is humble, yet authoritative; comprehensive, yet inspirational. And if you take his gentle but clear teaching onboard, it will help make you fully equipped in mind, heart, and spirit to lead others in worship. I wholeheartedly recommend it."
Stuart Townsend, Christian song-writer
"An outstanding book both for those who lead worship and also for every Christian who wants to worship God more fully. The book is biblical, practical, interesting, wise, and thorough in its treatment of the topic. The next time I teach on worship, I plan to make this the required text."
Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of Bible and Theology, Phoenix Seminary
"Humility. Self-deprecating humor. Practical wisdom. And not just for music leaders. What a refreshing read! I've gained from Bob Kauflin, and if you read this, you will too."
Mark Dever, Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church; Executive Director, 9Marks Ministries
"Bob is a pastor, a teacher, and a skilled musician. And this book captures his heart, his zealous pursuit of God, and his many years of real-life experience leading worship. That's why his book deserves the careful study of pastors and worship leaders alike."
Joshua Harris, Senior Pastor, Covenant Life Church, Gaithersburg, Maryland
[Editors Note 4/1/08: We have corrected the name of the book in our post–with apologies to our friends at Crossway and WorshipMatters!]

Six Shorebirds Headed to Arizona Fall League
Shorebirds well represented in prestigious league
By Delmarva Shorebirds | October 4, 2013 5:01 AM ET
Salisbury, MD - Six former Delmarva Shorebirds will compete in the prestigious Arizona Fall League this year, which begins on October 8. The six former Shorebirds are Eduardo Rodriguez, Jason Gurka, Branden Kline, Tim Berry, Michael Ohlman and Jonathan Schoop. All six former Shorebirds and eight total Orioles minor leaguers will play for the Surprise Saguaros. The team will be managed by former Shorebirds skipper Gary Kendall.
Rodriguez, 20, had a breakout season in 2013. He went 10-7 with a 3.41 ERA in 25 starts between Frederick (Advanced-A) and Bowie (Double-A). Rodriguez represented the Orioles and Venezuela in the MLB Futures Game. In 2012, he went 5-7 with a 3.70 ERA for the Shorebirds.
Gurka, 25, made 20 relief appearances in 2013 for the Bowie BaySox. He posted a 2-2 mark with a strong 2.95 ERA. Gurka made 13 relief appearances for the Shorebirds in 2011 and went 2-0 with a 2.52 ERA before earning a promotion to Frederick.
Kline, 22, began the 2013 season in the Shorebirds starting rotation before suffering a season ending ankle injury. He made seven starts for the Shorebirds and went 1-2 with a 5.86 ERA.
Berry, 22, had a strong season in 2013 for the Frederick Keys. In 27 starts, he went 11-7 with a 3.85 ERA. Berry led all Orioles minor leaguers with 11 wins. He also ranked fifth in strikeouts (119). Berry pitched for the Shorebirds in 2011 and part of 2012. In 2011, he went 3-7 with a 5.12 ERA while in 2012 he posted a 2-7 mark with a 5.02 ERA.
Ohlman, 22, had his best season in the Orioles system in 2013. He batted .313 for the Frederick Keys with 13 home runs and 53 RBIs. He was named to the Carolina League Post-Season All Star Team. Ohlman finished second amongst Orioles minor leaguers in batting average (.313), first in on-base percentage (.410) and first in slugging percentage (.524). Ohlman played for the Shorebirds during parts of three seasons (2010-2012). In 2012, he batted .304 in 51 games for the Shorebirds.
Schoop, 21, made his major league debut this season on September 25 and went 2-for-3 with his first MLB home run. Schoop went 4-for-14 in five MLB games for the Orioles down the stretch. In 70 games for the Norfolk Tides, he batted .256. Schoop played for the Shorebirds in 2011 and batted .316 in 51 games.
The other two Orioles minor leaguers that will play in the fall league are Henry Urrutia and Daniel Alvarez.

I want a Saiga 9.

I want a Saiga 9.
HOWEVER it can do nothing but help with recoil mitigation. They have built a very clever recoil management system with this and I believe it could help semi-auto recoil management, if not to the extent of a full-auto recoil management. Just like the .45 ACP Kriss.
You can find images of the AK-107 recoil management system online. New carrier, new top cover, new gas block are the major components. A cog system that keeps both pistons synchronized during the load cycle. A clever system, really!
Someone here has an animation of that system on their signature line. Pretty cool.
I dont see it reducing recoil at all I see it mitigating the weight of the carrier moving an helping controll the gun easier . I suspose in rapid fire Semi auto it might help . if nothing else the extra weight will help the perceived recoil
It interesting if nothing else .
Id like to shoot one as well . just to see if im wrong . i suppose I should not judge untill I know .

Badi Ajamu returns Friday
By Rick Scharmberg
"The Boxing Prince", Prince Badi Ajamu (27-3-1, 15 KOs), of Camden, New Jersey will defend his NBA light heavyweight title at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City this Friday against Daniel Judah (23-4-3, 10 KOs), of Brooklyn, New York. Judah is stepping for Otis Griffin, who pulled out of the fight. "Griffin wanted more money. It seems he priced himself out after accepting the fight. I have no problem with changing opponents," said Ajamu. "Daniel Judah has a good name, and he feels his chances are excellent. That makes for a good fight."
Prince did have to make some adjustments in his preparation, now that he is facing Daniel Judah. "He is a southpaw, so I had to change some sparring partners," he said. "If you are a fighter, you have to have a general concept of who you're fighting. You can spar to get better, or you can spar and grind yourself down trying to get better. I had some brutal sparring sessions with Yusaf Mack. Now, I spar to get my timing and distance, instead of having a gym war."
This fight will be Ajamu's second fight in Atlantic City this year and his second fight for promoter Diane Fischer, of Dee Lee Promotions. Prince won the NBA title for the first time with a second round KO over Craig Cummings back on January 19, 2007, but then took a two-year retirement brought on by some promotional issues. Prince bounced back with an impressive decision over DeAndrey Abron last August. They layoff has him physically rejuvenated, and his relationship with Dee Lee has his mind clear of distractions.
"Dee Lee has been excellent. They are very sharp and very caring, and that means a lot. She (Diane Fischer) wants the best for everyone she is involved with and she has good people around her who take care of business," said Prince.
"Training is going better than ever," he continued. "I am doing what comes naturally, staying in shape and eating right. I am balancing my days out the way they should be. I am expressing myself, being creative in the ring, being adaptable. When you prepare for a fight, you tend to accept the environment. The James Shuler Gym (in Philly) was home. It was beautiful, but this is the third fight that I got to train in my own gym. The opportunity to train in my own gym has made me more responsible."
Prince has always had a lot of respect for former world champion Glen Johnson, and he knows that Daniel Judah fought to a draw against Johnson in 2004, and went the distance with him in a losing effort in his last bout. That means Daniel Judah can fight.
"I know a lot of the people he fought," said Ajamu about his knowledge of Judah. "I know he went ten with Glen Johnson. He was a super middleweight in the amateurs. I used to see him in tournaments, and we spoke before. I know he is Zab's brother. When I was in Florida, I saw Judah spar with James Lubwama."
Judah has fought some tough customers. In addition to Johnson, Judah fought the late Julian Letterlough to a draw, defeated former world title challenger Jaffa Ballagou (W 12), and has been in with Yusaf Mack, Darnell "Ding-a-Ling Man" Wilson, and former world champion Eric Harding.
"I expect him to try to keep me on the outside for the first two or three rounds," said Prince. "I'll have to change his mind and go from there. I feel that he is going to get up for this fight. Nobody is telling him that I am a cakewalk. One thing I know about Daniel Judah is that he is not short for words or confidence."
Prince spoke about his personal life, and he said, "I've been training and helping my surrogate father who is on a downward spiral. I am here for him and for my daughter and son. I am focusing on his situation and training. I am making sure the kids have food on the table and clothes on their backs. The economic crunch, everybody feels it."
Being a light heavyweight and a student of the sport, Prince had insightful comments about last week's Chad Dawson – Glen Johnson title rematch. "Chad Dawson showed growth and maturity. He made a hard fight look easy. He used his feet, range, and ring generalship. I respect him for that. Chad's been blessed, and he used what he was blessed with.
"I have a lot of respect for Glen Johnson, as well. However, sometimes you prepare for a guy, and he is not the guy you prepared for. Glen trained for a guy who would stand and trade with him, but that Chad didn't show up," explained Prince.
He also offered some comments on the upcoming Roy Jones – Danny Green and Bernard Hopkins – Enrique Ornelas bouts. "Roy Jones has shown why he will be in the hall of fame. He is not going to be there for Danny Green to hit. He is too fast for Danny Green. All the intangibles are in his favor."
Prince continued, "Enrique Ornelas is no pushover. He could make Bernard Hopkins look bad, but at light heavyweight, I don't know."
Once a highly ranked contender, Prince has set an ambitious, yet realistic timetable to get himself back into the rankings. He said, "As long as I stay busy and fight more frequently, I'll be able to do something more significant by the middle or end of next year in the boxing public's eye. You have the general public, who are more supportive, and you have the boxing public, who are more cautious."
It is hard not to root for "The Boxing Prince", who is truly one of the "good guys" in boxing.
Tickets for the "Fall Brawl" are priced at $90, $75, $55, and $40, and can be purchased by calling 1-800-736-1420.

S&P: Still Hold Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Dennis Milton
Krispy Kreme says it will restate fiscal 2004 (ending January) earnings per share downward by 5 cents to 7 cents to account for certain purchase-accounting issues. Fiscal 2005 quarterly statements may also be adjusted to reflect operating lease and purchase-accounting problems. The company also notes that its failure to file timely financials may cause issues with the SEC, NYSE, and debt holders. Krispy Kreme remains subject to a formal SEC inquiry. We are placing our fiscal 2005 earnings per share estimate under review as we await more definitive information. But at 8 times our fiscal 2005 free cash flow estimate, well below peers, we would hold existing positions.
Rayovac (ROV ): Reiterates 4 STARS (buy)
Analyst: Howard Choe
Rayovac agrees to acquire United Industries, a maker of lawn, garden, and pet supplies with nearly $1 billion in sales, for $1.2 billion in cash, stock and assumed debt. It will issue 13.75 million shares of stock. The deal is projected to close in February, subject to approvals, and Rayovac expects it to be slightly accretive in 2005 and yield $70 million to $75 million in gross synergies over three years. While United's categories are new to Rayovac, we have confidence in the planned deal, given Rayovac's well-executed integration of Remington. The proposed deal should further diversify Rayovac's revenue base and add faster-growing categories.
Eastman Chemical (EMN ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Richard O'Reilly, CFA
Eastman Chemical warns that operating earnings per share for the just completed fourth-quarter will come in below its previous guidance of 42 cents to 63 cents. Our estimate was 47 cents and the Street's was 59 cents. Eastman Chemical says a greater-than-expected rise of over $100 million in raw material costs from the third quarter more than offset strong volumes and increased selling prices. We are lowering our full 2004 earnings per share estimate to $2.45 from $2.60, but are keeping our below-Street 2005 estimate at $3.00. We expect further price hikes to offset raw material costs in the early part of the new year, and we are keeping our 12-month target price of $56.
Assurant Inc. (AIZ ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Gregory Simcik, CFA
Assurant registers to sell up to 27.2 million shares held by former parent Fortis Insurance N.V. The filing also indicates that Fortis plans to sell bonds potentially exchangeable into AIZ shares. We estimate Fortis holds roughly 36% of Assurant shares and will have at least 23 million shares, or at least a 16% stake, following the offering, with some of the remaining shares backing the new bonds. We believe the stock sale could put short-term pressure on Assurant share price. However, we also think the bond sale may help lessen the impact of future offerings of Fortis' Assurant holdings.

Robert A.M. Stern discusses how technology has changed or effected architecture in this short architecture talk. Stern admits that personally he still enjoys working with modeling clay when it comes to coming up with new architectural designs. However, his large firm uses innovative new technology that allows them to do exciting new things that wouldn't have been possible twenty years ago.
Stern doesn't believe that this design technology has necessarily improved architecture, because some of the most note-worthy structures in existence were made hundreds of years ago. But he does believe that technology has provided architects with more possibilities, and has assisted architects in creating some truly beautiful structures.
Stern sees the value in new design technology, but enjoys more traditional methods.

I have a set that needs to be replaced. While I've enjoyed them, I do feel the soundstage is a bit reduced.
The integrated is an AMC CVT 3030a.
Follow Ups:
The KT77s are in with no immediate issues. The biased nicely and held spot on. I'm now breaking them in a bit. As stated, they do have a more pronounced mid-bass. More observations after I've observed a bit more.
I guarantee that you will love these 6p3se.Yes,they are a military 6L6 type but many are in use in place of EL34s and they are five thousand hour tubes. You will like the JJ KT77s sonically if they hold up. I tend to believe what Jim Mcshane says about certain tubes as he runs pretty rigorous tests and sells lots of tubes.
When problems become increasingly difficult,we can always rely on our collective knowledge and seek relief.
Edits: 06/17/12
Durability will be the key with the JJs, based on what I read. I'll definitely check those out though, as the price is definitely tempting.
I'll make sure changing the tubes solves my fuse blowing issue before I move. Thanks for the tip.
The new Gold Lion kt77's are the real deal. Just put them in my VTL ST85 and they do everything you would want. I tried the JJ kt77's and I could just get them to reach required bias with my amp. They are somewhat aggressive sounding and not as musical as all the other tubes I have tried. In order of preference they are:
Gold Lion KT77
Shanguang Treasure 6CA7
Electro Harmonex EL-34
I do want to point out that all of these tubes sound good but the Gold Lions and the Treasures are exceptional
I like the GL Kt77s to...They sound much more like the 6L6 in its own circuit and thats a good thing AFAIC.I don't care for any of my vintage EL34 in any application other than for mids..The GL KT77s tho are a killer tube.
When problems become increasingly difficult,we can always rely on our collective knowledge and seek relief.
Totally agree. I installed them in the Image 34i integrated amplifier which accepts EL-34 and 6L6GC tubes, adjusted the bias and liked them better than xf2 single-getter Mullard EL-34 (more organic).
I'm going on the advice of my tech, and have ordered the JJ KT77 on the hope that a bad tube is what is causing me to blow fuses.
With some luck, this will stabilize the situation and improve the sonics. The Tung-Sols are punchy and nice and extended on the highs, but the do collapse the soundstage a bit.
If these don't work out, I'll probably be hunting down a PrimaLuna integrated.
Tung Sol EL34-B is a very nice tube. Cleaner and more dynamic than the regular TS EL34, IME.
Vinyl + Tubes= Bliss
SED Winged C ( =C= ) EL34's and don't look back.
My favorites.....liquid....and sound so good...jallen
i really like the new sensor mullards sound rich in my Primaluna

Jaguars K Josh Scobee bowed out of the running for the U.S. Open when he shot an 81 at Timuquana Country Club over the weekend.
When you shoot an 81 in a qualifying event you don't "bow out", it's called not making the cut.
You have to wonder just how legit that 0.4 index is if he shoots an 81.

ESPN Power Rankings…..
7. Ravens – Why do they keep listing Stallworth as some sort of upgrade, what has he done since he was with the Saints pass happy scheme? They did nothing to upgrade the secondary, the Defense wasn't good enough to support a very good offense, and all they did is add WRs in free agency.
3. Vikings – without Farve would be ranked where, 14th? Why rank them 3rd when you don't know if Farve is coming back and even if he does, can he repeat or do better? He's an injury waiting to happen especially since they didn't upgrade the LT.
I really struggle with where to put the Vikings, Chargers, Cowboys, and Packers. But I would rank the Patriots, Jets, Bengals, Ravens, Eagles, in order right up there with them.
Route36West says: May 11, 2010 10:46 AM
"ESPN.com's latest power rankings have the Eagles at No. 13 overall."
Thats fair. I think they will do alot better but as of right now they still have to prove it. However even with that I dont see how they could rank the Cardinals Bengals and Falcons ahead of the Eagles. I dont think their bad teams its just that they have just as much to prove as the Eagles do. I think the fact that the Eagles have been a top contender so constantly should get them the higher ranking.
It doesnt matter though we will see once the season starts.

I pay $190 per month for full coverage (liability, comprehensive, and collision) on all 3 Subies. (USAA)
Zero tickets or accidents for the past 5 years. I'm 34, the wife is 30.
Although, the WRX costs more than the Tribeca and the SVX combined. If I recall, an STI would be about $30-$40 per month more than the WRX
The Brat will only get basic liability once I get it on the road.... but it will only be like an additional $10.
