For those of you who don't know, there's a company out there that's attracted the interest of venerable venture capitalists, established corporations, politicians, and even a few bloggers with claims that seem nearly impossible. Now, this isn't Steorn, it's not free energy. What they're talking about is possible without re-writing the laws of physics. But what they say they can do would change things. A lot of levitra 50mg things.
EEStor says that they are working on an "electrical energy storage unit" (EESU - explained in more detail here, if you're curious) that would hold ten times the amount of power as todays most advanced batteries at the same weight. This storage unit would be able to charge and www.celebratinglife.org recharge infinitely without any loss of capacity and charging time (with enough power) could be brought down to www.diabetes.org.br three or four minutes. The storage units can be infinitely stacked together for applications as small as watch batteries and as large as grid-level power storage. And, of course, the technology is 10 times cheaper than lithium ion batteries. In short. it all sounds too good to be true.
I wouldn't even be wrting about this if EEStor didn't have investments from very smart people and contracts with very large companies. But that doesn't mean I'm not still skeptical. Smart people have been duped before. But because EEStor has been in the news an awful lot, and their strategic partner ZENN Motors says that they will be putting these devices into cars by early next year, let's try and figure out what this would mean for the http://davenportinstitute.com/how-to-get-viagra world.
- Electric cars, of course, would become much more practical. While the EESU wouldn't be able to charge in 5 minutes at home with a 220 volt plug, it could charge in five minutes at high-power charging stations. This infrastructure would have to be built however, and the technology isn't cheap. Just like hydrogen or ethanol or Better Place's battery swapping stations, EESU's would require new infrastructure. The only electric vehicles that do not require new infrastructure are cars designed not to travel out of the city and cars with on-board, gas-powered generators like the Volt.
- ZENN Motor company currently has exclusive rights to put EESU's in four-wheeled vehicles that weigh less than 3,000 lbs. ZENN will likely sell those rights fairly quickly if the EESU pans out. If they don't, we'll be stuck with lithium ion for a while anyway.
- However, companies working on next-generation batteries for electric vehicles, including A123, LG Chem, GM, Tesla, Toyota and many more, will find themselves with a lot of useless research on their hands. Lithium ion batteries will never hit the numbers EEStor has claimed for it's EESU.
- Battery swapping technology may or may not become completely obsolete. Project Better Place's system of swapping out batteries to reduce the canadian cialis need for charging batteries could be used for EESU's instead of batteries. However, it's difficult for me to imagine that high-power quick-charging infrastructure wouldn't be far cheaper than battery-swapping facilities.
- Renewable energy sources would become much more viable. Currently, options for storing power generated during windy or sunny times of the day are limited and just try! fda approves viagra inefficient. An EEStor grid-level battery could store power for use at other times during the day at a comparatively low cost.
- The world might actually see a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions because of http://www.auburg.de/how-to-get-levitra the EESU.
Let's remember, there are a lot of "if"s here. EEStor's technology could be viable, but costs could rise, imperfections could be found. It's very possible that the EESU will hit the market and lithium ion batteries will remain competitive with the new technology. Time will tell...I'm looking forward to only now cialis oral gel it.

If ZENN is actually seeking DOE funding, they will have to demonstrate the EESU functionality and we'll know in a hurry whether it's a dud and they get squat or Secy Chu hands them a $1 billion check, and it's really one or the other given their claims.

Every day sciencedaily and physorg put out twenty or thirty geewhiz articles that detail advances in nanomaterials, biology, and materials science.
Where's the big surprise. So they make capacitors with thinner films of higher capacity to hold charge and stack up 32 thousand layers and www.barefootfoundation.com stick 5000v on them. Ever worked with a television CRT? Seems like 30kv was no big deal then. My scooter has a 40kv spark coil with zillions of turns of very fine wire. Impossible, you say?

EESTor never demonstrated basic proof of concept. EESTor never had a functional EESU which met the patent specs.
EESTor Saga is finished! Read the Air Force Research Lab emails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act,
You will understand there was and still is an orchestrated campaign to pump EESTor by an EESTor News Blogger Mr. Murphy and his followers.
This best describes the zvezdegranda.rs EESCAM story:
"EEStor is nothing more than a vehicle for a Canadian pump-n-dump, specifically Zenn Motors. Zenn has a powerful Canadian hype team supported by a crooked bucket shop (Paradigm Capital), paid promoters and degenerate gamblers. Experts in the field of EEStor's technology do not believe the claims in their product... The trade here is to short Zenn on all pops from here forward." credit Steve Pluvia

Why This Online Retailer Is A Great Buy
Anindya is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Fourth-quarter revenue of eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) climbed 18% year-over-year to $3.99 billion, helped by record holiday sales. That exceeded the average analysts' estimate of $3.98 billion, reports Bloomberg.
The stock price has risen by almost 80% in the past one year. Increased mobile engagement fueled by "Marketplace" improvements led the company register unexpected revenue growth. I expect the momentum will continue and eBay's stock will witness further gains in 2013.
Canaccord Genuity's Michael Graham believes that eBay has substantial room for revenue growth.
"While at least some of the low-hanging fruit on the GMV tree has been harvested (improved search/product discovery, user growth driven by mobile) we believe there is still more room to go, both with existing programs (vertical shopping categories, third-party storefronts, product recommendation engine, customizable feeds) and unannounced but potentially logical ones (more comprehensive product availability)."
Factors that will Drive eBay's Future Revenue Growth
- Mobile Users: CEO of eBay John Donahoe said that he's continuing his efforts to make sure users are buying on smartphones and tablets. Mobile users tend to complete purchases more often than those browsing on desktop computers. Mobile garners a quarter of new customers, drawing a younger demographic to the site, he said.
- Marketplace: The next round of growth is expected to come from the strong performance of eBay's "Marketplace" business. "Marketplace" contributes slightly more than half of eBay's total revenue. Traffic from mobile devices is the major contributor within marketplaces. With sellers now listing 2 million items per week from their smartphones on eBay, I expect the gross merchandise volume and the number of active users will continue to grow over the medium-term.
- PayPal: PayPal accounts for about 40% of eBay's total revenue. The outstanding growth prospect of PayPal will lead to more revenue growth. This division registered decent growth of about 25% during 2012 with the international business outpacing overall growth. With PayPal still having a limited international presence, there is tremendous scope for further expansion.
Electronic Retail Expected to Replace Physical Retail
The rate of electronic retail shopping is expected to increase significantly over the next four to five years. To take advantage of this growing trend, retailers need to identify the best possible means of benefiting from the use of technology in shopping while implementing relevant strategies.
This growing trend has guided major U.S. retail chains to downsize their physical retail operations, and in turn, develop their e-commerce and m-commerce sites to attract customers.
Discount retail chains like Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT), Target (NYSE: TGT) and beleaguered consumer electronics retailer, Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) have announced that they will offer their patrons the facility to match the prices being offered at Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) and eBay.com.
These discount retailers have also resorted to a major redesign by developing the 'City Target' format, which aims at tapping the urban markets, where real estate remains a constraint. These stores are designed to fit in urban locations, both in terms of size and store design aesthetic.
By integrating the digital mode into the shopping experience, these retailers can earn rewards in the form of increased shopper demand and greater shopper loyalty.
M-Commerce Growth Positive for eBay
Research firm comScore reports that the numbers of U.S. smartphone users accessing retail content are increasing steadily. Amazon led all destinations with the highest unique visitors, followed by eBay and Apple. Wal-Mart led all traditional brick-and-mortar retailers with the maximum number of smartphone visitors, followed by Target and Best Buy.
Relative Position: eBay vs. Peers
The EPS is growing steadily for eBay, with a flat PE multiple around 28. But for Amazon, despite the EPS declining consistently, its PE multiple is rising. Amazon's skyrocketing revenue per share is fueling its stock price along with the PE.
EBAY EPS Diluted TTM data by YCharts
Amazon has recorded a huge 255.1% growth in revenue per share, while for eBay it has just started rising with 80.75%. For retailer giant Wal-Mart, it's standing at only 42.71%, for Target it's at 40.81% and for Best Buy, the specialty retailer, it's slightly better with 52.56%.
EBAY Revenue Per Share TTM data by YCharts
The Verdict
With eBay's revenue showing signs of multiplying growth, I strongly feel that eBay's stock is currently trading at the deep-value zone and will rise significantly over the medium-term. I would recommend buying the stock at the current price level.

Notes and notes of notes
I have returned from my secret assignment, where it wasn't as warm as I hoped and it rained during the second day. Bleeck! But it was worth the trip, so stay tuned in the coming weeks for the results.
Morales update
Twins catcher Jose Morales will have surgery a week from Friday on his sprained right wrist (convenient since it's during TwinsFest). Twins hand specialist Dr. Tom Varecka will preform the surgery.
Morales is expected to need six to eight weeks to recover from surgery, which makes for an interesting end to spring training as he tries to break camp with the club.
Getting LOOGY With It
Jim Rantz, the Twins director of minor leagues, said today that he has signed lefthander Mark McLemore to a minor league deal. McLemore 29, posted a 3.86 ERA in 29 games with Houston in 2007 but missed all of 2008 because of Tommy John elbow surgery.
McLemore returned to go 5-10, 4.87 in 18 starts with Class AAA Round Rock last season. Now he has a shot at some innings at Class AAA Rochester.
About Those Contracts
Of the deals the Twins struck on Tuesday, it should be pointed out that only Brendan Harris' two-year deal and Carl Pavano's one-year deal at $7 million are guarenteed. The deals with Pat Neshek, Jesse Crain, Matt Guerrier, Delmon Young and Francisco Liriano are not.
That means the Twins can cut any of those players by 16 days before the start of the regular season (which I believe is March 20) and owe them one-sixth (30 days) of their salary. If one of those players is cut during the 16 days before the season starts, they owe them one-fourth (45 days) of their salary. Once the regular season starts, contracts are guaranteed.
It's doubtful the Twins would do such a thing, but those are the rules.
More Moves?
The Twins are keeping their options open for infield and bench help.
Keep in mind that the Twins are only looking for a stopgap at third base because they feel Danny Valencia is their man for the future, a future that could start by midseason – or sooner if Valencia wows them in spring training. Anyone looking for a two-year deal can keep looking past the Twins.
While it's unlikely that they won't sign a veteran starter like Jarrod Washburn, the one thing the Twins can't forget is how injuries to couple starters and Liriano's troubles put them in a bind last year.
Jason Pridie should get a chance to win a backup spot in camp, but the Twins are still looking at backup centerfield options.
Checking In With the Canuck
Justin Morneau is in Arizona, his usual offseason location, getting ready for the upcoming season. His offseason is worth watching more closely because his season ended early because of a stress fracture in his lower back.
Morneau, in an e-mail, reported that he's been slowed by the flu lately but he's pleased where he's at, physically.
"Back is doing well," he wrote. "Almost up to full workouts."
I'm sure he'll expand on his condition next week during TwinsFest.
Who Will Bat Second?
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire is unsure who will bat second this season, indicating that he might not use newcomer J.J. Hardy there. But Hardy has spent most of his career in the two hole and indicated this week that he has no problems filling that role for the Twins if asked.
Hardy, over the past three seasons, was a .273/.324/.468 hitter in the two hole. Who's a better option on the roster? Will St. Joe have to bat second?
Liriano Watch
Liriano gave up another unearned run on Monday for Escogido of the Dominican Winter League. This outing doesn't look as crisp as some of the others – five innings, five hits, two walks, six strikeouts. But he's allowed just two unearned runs in 27 innings since the playoffs began.
I'm trying to find out if that was his final start of the winter. He's scheduled to fly to the Twin Cities next week for TwinsFest.
Reports on Liriano have his slider clocked at 87-90 miles an hour, which has the Twins encouraged. But they will wait to see him in spring training before declaring that he has his mojo back. Stuff wasn't the problem with Frankie last season, it was location then, ultimately, his confidence.
In this story, former Twin Mike Redmond claims that the Twins gave up on him. Knowing Red Dog like I do, I wonder if he was joking. Because even he has to look at his .237 batting average last season and remember how he felt physically – especially when he tried to throw runners out – and understand why the Twins didn't bring him back.
The veteran, Crash Davis-type of backups are always fun to cover. Especially someone like Redmond, who was great at articulating the game. I'll miss Redmond and I hope he proves he has a little more left in the tank with Cleveland.

February 08, 2013
With compassion, conviction and steadfast passion, Sister Simone Campbell held a conversation at Northampton Community College (NCC) on February 7 about income disparity and the challenges we face as a nation to acknowledge and correct this injustice.
Campbell is the executive director of NETWORK, a Catholic organization involved in education, lobbying, and organizing around economic and social justice issues in the United States. She is the leader of "Nuns on the Bus," the group that traveled throughout the country last summer, speaking out against the Paul Ryan budget, which would have further cut federal funds for human services. As part of a lifetime of social advocacy, Campbell is a leader of the Conference of Women Religious and a proponent of Faithful Budget.org, an interfaith initiative.
Ironically, Nuns on the Bus came about through the Vatican's criticism of the Leadership Conference of Women's Religious's emphasis on social advocacy. By chance, this censure happened to precede the 40th anniversary of the conference and a discussion of its mission. It also followed two years of the group's largely unnoticed opposition to the Ryan budget. "It was hurtful, but it was an answer to a prayer," Campbell recalled of the Vatican's disapproval. Now, however, the group knew what to do: seizing upon their unsought notoriety, they took to the road to speak out for people at the margins of our society. "We sought to lift up alternatives so that people would know not to fear and know that we could do better as a nation," Campbell said. The alternative she proposes is Faithful Budget, "responsible revenue for responsible programs."
Nuns on the Bus sought to make visible what was unseen but having an impact on all Americans: the largest income disparities of any developed country in the world. Moreover, while the incomes for all rose from 1947 until 1979, income inequality has grown dramatically from 1979 to 2009. To graphically illustrate this economic chasm, Campbell had members of the audience line up to represent society members with higher and lower incomes, then take steps forward or backward to demonstrate thirty years of widening inequality. The resulting graph? The top 20% saw an increase of 49%, the next quintile 23%, the middle class 11%, the next down the scale 4%. The bottom fifth had a decline of 7%. Two more audience members climbed the Lipkin Theatre's steps to show how the top 5% saw an income rise of 73% and the top 1% reached the stratosphere with an increase of 170%. These figures represent the profoundest gap our country has seen since 1929.
Campbell pointed out that another gap, in awareness, accompanies the income divide. "People in the top percentages," she said, "are so far removed from reality that they don't know and can't imagine what is happening at the bottom." She described Billy and his wife, whom she met at a soup kitchen in Milwaukee. Billy had had his working hours cut, forcing him and his wife to use food stamps for their children while relying themselves on the soup kitchen. Billy's yearning? To be able to buy his children new clothes for school after six years of making do with cast-offs.
Billy's struggles reflect those of workers whose minimum wage jobs of $7.25 an hour are no match for the cost of living. In today's economy, Campbell said, the minimum wage would have to be $12.50 just to keep people away from the very edge of poverty.
Campbell described how factors beyond Billy's control-such as unfair tax policies and debt from two unfinanced wars--have combined to push those on the lowest rung further down. What's more, an audience member said, some employers have taken advantage of the recession's high unemployment to offer half the salaries they used to pay a few years ago and for the same jobs.
In speaking to legislators, politicians and the public, Campbell counters Tea Partyers' beliefs that social welfare programs promote waste, fraud and abuse and that government is excessive and unnecessary. On the contrary, Campbell said, government programs such as food stamps conform to exacting public accountability. "We need government in order to be a democracy. If we do away with government, we do away with democracy. We are a government of the people."
We need to remember this unity when we talk about a more just society. We get isolated and don't talk to each other." Thus, Campbell has taken it as her mission to go into supermarkets and talk to people. Her message? "We need to care for all of us."
To conclude the program, Campbell told the Scriptural story of the five loaves and two fishes, in which Jesus tells his apostles to share what little they have with a throng of hungry people in the wilderness. The apostles first suggest going into town to find and bring back food. Jesus instructs them to instead distribute their sparse provisions, and a miracle occurs: all the people are fed. Campbell applied this to our modern imperatives. "Share what you have," Campbell said. "We are called to speak up and demand that we feed the hungry."
Campbell and Maryann Haytmanek, director of NCC's New Choices/New Options program, were interviewed on WDIY. Listen to the podcast here.

The community thinks...
The Cadillac Station Wagon/crossover by Glynda & Herman, Lake Country, Ga. on 03/02/2009. Trim: 2005 Cadillac SRX V6, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I owned a Caddilac before,but the SRX is a EXCELLENT vehicle,the perfornance is great,and a good quality car. after I changed the air filter and motor oil and filter,the gas mileage did alot better,and had the OnStar repaired. Really a real eye catcher,and impressive car,my wife & I feel we finally got a good vehicle for a change.
Cons: Not much to dislike,could of used some interior wood detail which I thought was cheap on Cadillac part,and not having original Cadillac floor mats could of helped situation also, but after-market took care of all that.
Overall review: I an retired,but my wife still works and she needed a nice car to commute in,and when we go on those get away trips,its a good feeling knowing that we are riding in style,and other commuters or staring at us with a smile,and I am not that good looking so it must be the SRX Cadillac.
Review ID: #537540 Is this review offensive?
Comfortable and Classy by S from Alaska on 08/28/2008. Trim: 2005 Cadillac SRX V8, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Very distinct angular syle from other crossovers on market; looks good! Seats are extremely comfortable on long trips and nice for someone a little shorter than average; I can see out the windshield without being too close to the headliner. Adjustable pedals and interior storage spaces are also very nice.
Cons: Traction control tries to steer car too much at high speed (over 65mph) on very wet roads or in very raining conditions.
Overall review: This is a great vehicle with classy styling and interior comfort.
Review ID: #531927 Is this review offensive?
This SUV ain't a truck by L & P from the Woodlands on 04/14/2005. Trim: 2005 Cadillac SRX V6, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: We bought the 6 cyl. and found it to have plenty of power. First Caddy and first SUV, couldn't be more pleased. Tested the 8 cyl. and am glad we got the 6. It has plenty of get up and go for us and drives very nicely.
Cons: Like all SUV's, even the 6, eats gas. I really wish they had not used the gold monochrome display from the 80's. Simple white would have been functional and matched the dashboard lighting. But that's only an appearence issue.
Overall review: Wife uses this more often than me, but would be tempted to buy a second for my travels. I would consider it if looking for a peppy SUV.
Review ID: #467804 Is this review offensive?
eats oil , watch out by Mike on 03/16/2009. Trim: 2005 Cadillac SRX V6, Owned 5 years.
Pros: Nice ride comfortable, sun roof is great
Cons: It eats oil, I was told by my tech that the GM manual states that every 1700 miles you will go through a quart of oil and when its low on oil it doesn't run right. I guess GM doesn't want to recall 1,000,000 cars for an engine problem, I wouldn't buy another one
Overall review: Nice ride, eats oil
Review ID: #537952 Is this review offensive?
"Awseome" by Sam on 04/22/2005. Trim: 2005 Cadillac SRX V8, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Feel, performance and handling are excellent. Style is fresh and catchy. Cadillac has stuck their neck out and came up with a winner!
Cons: A real negative is the inability to put golf clubs in the rear cargo either sideways or length wise. You have to place them on an angle. Not smart engineers! That is it for negatives. Not bad.
Overall review: I lost my flare for cars several years ago. After test driving and now owning my SRX that has changed.

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - Oshkosh police say a woman was mugged and had her purse stolen outside a bar overnight.
Police were called around 2:20 a.m. Thursday from a 29-year-old woman who was waiting for a cab in the back parking lot of Screwballs, 216 N. Main Street. She called to report she had been in a dispute with another woman inside the bar.
While on the phone, she told dispatchers "they're coming back," and dispatchers heard her yell "get off me."
The victim said her purse was taken. Police indicate she was also punched in the attack.
The two women ran north on State Street after the robbery.
She told authorities that she first encountered the two women who stole her purse inside the bar, but did not know them.
The purse, which contained personal belongings and some money, was black and made of leather.
Anyone with information is asked to call Oshkosh police at (920) 236-5742. Anonymous tips can also be left with Winnebago County Wide Crime Stoppers at (920) 231-8477, online or by sending a text message with the keyword IGOTYA to 274637.

I'm not an avid football fan, but I do love me a good ! I get more jazzed over the commercials and cruising the buffet than watching the game itself, although the 2007 Giants vs. the Patriots match-up did catch and keep my attention. But regular season play isn't a staple of my TV-viewing habits.
I'm also not a Christian, but I like to consider myself respectful of others who are fervent believers.
I am a news junkie though, and so it was hard miss hearing about a certain famous, religious football player currently making headlines.
Actually, you'd have to be pretty out of touch not to have heard of Tim Tebow. Even my mom, who probably thinks there's a hoop at the end of a football field, recently said to me, "What do you think about this Tim Tebow?!"
Tebow, the Denver Broncos starting quarterback, is quite the story. An impressive high-school player, he made a name for himself early on as the quarterback for the University of Florida, and the first-ever sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. Since becoming the starting signal caller for Denver, he's amassed a 7-1 win-loss record, with many wins coming as late-in-the-game 'miracle' reversals of earlier poor team performances.
But Tebow has garnered just as much attention for his self-avowed religious fervor as he has for his athletic performance on the field. It's so much a part of who he is and what he does, there's now an acknowledged word—tebowing—to describe his frequent habit for kneeling and praying on the field during a game. He points heavenward after touchdowns and is often quoted about his religious beliefs, even taking a playful turn about it on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Some people praise his show of faith, saying he leads by example and provides a good role model. They credit his uninhibited display of religious values as something that could encourage others not so comfortable about revealing their own religious convictions. They say his religious outlook strengthens his own resolve and dedication to working hard at improving his professional level of play.
The critics are loud, though. A few players have mocked Tebow by 'tebowing' in front of him after a failed pass. Others say Tebow giving credit to God for his team's success on the field shortchanges the hard work of his fellow players and coaches, and that piety has no place in football. He's been faulted for dropping to his knee in prayer to give thanks for every little thing, with skeptics calling the frequency of the move comical.
Either way, it's safe to say that Tebow is getting attention as a player and as a pray-er.
Of course, because it's the entertaining, big money-making world of sports, it's important to acknowledge the financial and PR benefit from any behavior that gets attention. Players hawk products and teams earn revenues from players who become media darlings or targets. It's been said that Tebow is putting his endorsement muscle behind Christianity.
But there is value in what Tebow is endorsing. He's modeling long-standing dedication and commitment; he's been an outspoken, devout believer his entire 24 years. He's putting his actions where his beliefs are, as a devoted volunteer off the field as well. It's not such a bad thing for that kind of role model in a sport that has definitely seen its share of screw-ups.
Tebow's holy devotion is only highlighted by opposing players who mock him. While they are free to exercise their version of an athlete's 'trash talk,' they should realize the potential for backlash—it certainly is an overt display of nasty character, if nothing else.
But critics of his behaviors and dedication to his faith are missing the point. There's no codified separation of church and state when it comes to football, and what's the point of hating or fearing someone else's ardent belief when it's something that motivates him and drives his success. He's not proselytizing; rather he's minding his own business, and it just so happens there are millions of pairs of eyes on him when he does it.
Would it be better if he thanked a corporate sponsor for providing off-the-game-field training gear, giving them credit for his touchdowns rather than his god? Would critics prefer the flashier behavior of a gambling addict or nightclub regular at the helm of the team?
The greater sin would be hypocrisy. If he were using his religious beliefs to incite hatred or bigotry, criticism might be more justified. It's like the singer who thanks God in a Grammy acceptance speech and then sings about women as 'bitches.' I prefer the godly behavior I've seen in Tebow over that.
And while I personally disagree with a socio-political stance he took when he appeared in a Super Bowl commercial supporting a pro-life message, I have to acknowledge that who people are is more complex than just one rigid belief. It's not so black and white.
So, while the 'tebowing' trend spreads like wildfire () the debate will continue as Denver's quarterback is sure to keep his team in the national spotlight. Who knows for sure if that spotlight will cast a ring of light to halo around Tebow's head.

Ford Mondeo review
The Ford Mondeo is still great to drive, but it's getting old now and in some respects, it feels it
The latest generation Ford Mondeo has barely changed since its UK launch in 2007, but that's not necessarily a bad thing as it still has plenty going for it. The Mondeo still drives superbly and comes with bags of standard kit.
Available as either a hatchback or an estate, the Ford Mondeo is offered in four trim levels. Buyers can choose from the entry-level Edge, the mid-range Zetec Business, the plush Titanium X Business and the sporty Titanium X Sport. All models come very well equipped, with entry-level cars getting LED runners, air-conditioning, parking sensors and stop-start technology as standard.
The Ford Mondeo is available with a range of excellent petrol engines (Ford's racy EcoBoost units are part of this line-up) and economical diesels. The most frugal engine in the range is the 114bhp 1.6-litre TDCi diesel, while the most powerful is the 2.0-litre turbocharged EcoBoost with 238bhp.
However, Ford doesn't provide the current Mondeo range with hybrid power - buyers wanting that will have to wait for the all-new Ford Mondeo, which despite now being on sale in the US, is scheduled to arrive in Europe at the end of 2014. In addition to the lack of hybrid tech, the Mondeo's interior is looking pretty dated. Not even a 2013 revision could stop the Mondeo from being outclassed by its main rival - the Vauxhall Insignia - in this regard. The new 2014 Ford Mondeo is due on sale later this year.
Our choice: Mondeo 2.0 TDCI (140) Zetec Business edition
The Ford Mondeo has been a stalwart of the Ford range for years, so they're not an uncommon sight on UK roads. Mainly motorways.
It's a big car with a chunky shape that's taller and wider than the Vauxhall Insignia. However, it's a bit shorter and its angular lines (taken from Ford's 'Kinetic' design philosophy) contrast with the Insignia's curves.
While Ford has facelifted the Fiesta and other models with a gaping grille, the Mondeo carries on with a small upper grille and large opening in the bumper. Following the 2013 overhaul, LED running lights have also been added. From the rear, the Mondeo doesn't look bad either, and its chunky lines are complemented by angular tail-lights which give it an air of Volvo S60, just without the cool.
While Ford has regularly updated the Mondeo's exterior, the brand has done very little to keep the interior fresh. There's nothing wrong with it as such, it's just stuck in 2007.
A large, flat facia is dominated by plenty of hard plastics, and like the smaller Ford Focus, there's plenty of fiddly buttons - most notably on the dash and the climate control.
The Mondeo's standard sat-nav has a low-resolution screen – although the navigation itself is easy to use – and the red dot-matrix trip computer display that's set between the dials looks very dated when compared with the likes of the smart, widescreen TFT fitted to the Vauxhall Insignia.
There's no denying that the Ford Mondeo is a big car. In fact, it's close to being the same size as a BMW 5 Series. It's great to drive though, thanks to responsive steering, excellent body control and a supple but comfortable ride.
The Mondeo has always led the family car field for entertaining front-wheel-drive handling, and even after all this time on sale, that's still the case. It feels livelier than an Insignia through corners as a result of sharper turn-in and nicely weighted steering. Grip under cornering is also excellent.
There's not as much body roll as in an Insignia and the Ford feels surprisingly small and nimble on a twisty road due to its alert responses. Granted, sporty models have slightly stiffer suspension for that livelier feel, but they're still decent to drive and the rest of the Mondeo range generally offers a bump-absorbing ride.
While the Insignia does a better job of ironing out bumps, the Mondeo is still reasonably comfortable – but there's more road and engine noise in the Ford - especially at motorway speeds.
The Mondeo's six-speed transmission has a solid and positive shift that allows you to make the most of the engines' performance.
The Ford Mondeo dropped 28 places in our 2014 Driver Power Customer Satisfaction survey, and it ranked an eventual 84th out of 150 cars.
Owners stated that running costs are high, and it also scored low for build quality. What's more, the Mondeo was described as being uncomfortable and lacking in technology.
At launch in 2007, the car was crash tested by Euro NCAP, and achieved a five-star rating. While the current NCAP test is a lot tougher, it's worth noting that the Mondeo has seven airbags.
The Mondeo has the space to serve as a versatile family car with an impressive boot and generous rear legroom.
While it offers 540-litres of space in the boot (10 litres more than the Vauxhall Insignia), it still can't quite match the 595-litres of space in the Skoda Superb. The Insignia gets its advantage back when the seats are folded flat, as it has a 1,470-litre capacity - 10 more than the Mondeo.
The Ford has a larger boot floor area but a narrower boot opening, despite the sill being lower.
The Mondeo is also very spacious in the cabin area - or it at least feels it - thanks to a deep cubby under the front armrest, and large door bins.
Its big windows also make the Ford's interior feel airier than its rivals. The driver's seat is also fully adjustable, and the chunky steering wheel moves for both reach and rake.
Running Costs
Until the new Ford Mondeo arrives in late 2014, there are no hybrid or plug-in hybrid models in the current Mondeo line-up.
The most efficient engine in the Ford Mondeo range is the 1.6-litre 114bhp TDCi, which returns 67.3mpg and emits 109g/km of CO2. This is available on the entry level Edge, mid-range Zetec Business and higher end Titanium X Business cars.
There is also another 1.6-litre engine available, but it's a turbocharged petrol EcoBoost unit that generates 158bhp. It returns 44.1mpg with CO2 emissions of 149g/km and can be specified on Zetec Business and Titanium X Business models.
The Ford Mondeo is also available with a 2.0-litre diesel engine, which can be specified with either 138 or 161bhp. The 138bhp unit is available on Zetec Business and Titanium X Business models and it achieves 62.8mpg plus 119g/km of CO2 with the six-speed manual gearbox. When mated to Ford's six-speed Powershift Automatic gearbox, its emissions increase to 136g/km of CO2 and it achieves 54.3mpg.
The 161bhp 2.0-litre diesel is available as either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. All models with either transmission achieve the same mpg and CO2 emissions as their 138bhp counterpart.
The other diesel engine in the range is a 2.2-litre unit, which is available on the flagship model in the Ford Mondeo range - the Titanium X Sport. It emits 159g/km of CO2 and returns 47.1mpg. When fitted with the automatic gearbox, its emissions rise to 173g/km and its fuel economy drops marginally to 55.1mpg.
The most powerful engine in the Ford Mondeo range is the 2.0-litre 238bhp EcoBoost which is available on the Titanium X Sport model. Despite having a top speed of 152mph, it achieves 36.7mpg plus CO2 emissions of 179g/km.
Disqus - noscript
has anyone heard about the 2.3L engin 2011 model ? it is on sale in the middle east.any fead back is appreciated
They are all ok to drive, it is the ownership experience that is so poor with Ford's response to warranty issues and poor dealer support being ussues to sort. Also, surelu time to ditch the "fat arse" rear end?? It has never been attractive!
'This car is rubbish'. Another well reasoned opinion
What on earth is a 'Modeo' ????
I think Ford - in their pursuit of One Ford Global Strategy - let the ball drop on Mondeo.
The competition - in particular Mazda - has moved on and taken a lead over the Ford. The new Mondeo is a couple of years too late.
I don't have the details of the new model to comment on it, but it may not be enough to reclaim the sales that Ford's gonna lose before it hits showroom?
Generally a decent review. But have you actually seen the interiors in the Skoda and VW? They are horrible!! I would much rather be sat in a 4 year old mondeo than a 4 day old passat. I know i would still rather own one of these than anything by VAG or BMW.
Saying that I agree with a comment below that ford have messed up by not sorting the new mondeo sooner.
Watch out for road tax on this. I'm shopping for a Mondeo estate and was expecting 120g CO2 to equal £30 road tax. But when you enter the reg for the Mondeos on sale, all 2012 onwards and with 140 or 163 BHP, DVLA says they emit 139g CO2 and tax is £125 per year.
This great car deserves better! I wonder why people in the U.K. buy Bmws serie 3 instead of Ford Mondeos??
100% agree!
Mondeo leaking diesels are rubbish, If it is not the injectors leaking then it will be o rings perishing from spill pipes good name for Ford as they will spill deisel with the poor design and dangerously may set your Mondeo on fire as hot engines and diesel spills do not match. ALL in all if you want a car which will leak diesel the Mondeo is for you!!
Because BMW are German engineering and i wished i had brought one instead of a very, very poor Mondeo which will always let you down. The last time i had a Ford was 25 years ago they were rubbish then and i thought they had improved so i brought one 2010 and it leaks diesel, Then clutch & DMF then another diesel leak JUNK,JUNK,JUNK. POOR DESIGN. Who would design spill rails with perishable o rings? DMF failures, EGR failures so so many failures on these crap cars. VW & BMW German engineering will keep going Ford will let you down every step of the way. Continuos problems with Fords and then parts and labour expensive, Guess what after i get the latest diesel leak sorted out i hope to find a Ford lover who can have it with pleasure and i will buy German.
Me too - an '03 petrol Zetec and it has been fantastic. I'm nearing 100K and it is due a new clutch but that's the only big fix I will have needed in a lot of miles. Beautiful car to drive.
You work for BMW lol.
I have four mondeo estates 140hp 6yrs 4 yrs 3 yrs and one yr and never laid a spanner on any of them. Find the above comments shocking so perhaps I am perpetually lucky but just ordering another at the end of the model run. Cavernous, economical, perfect and always resell well if bought correctly as we always do thru a dealer at around 25% disc
I noticed there was a lack of figures for the 161bhp 2.0 engine. This may be because it would have to be in gallons per mile! !
i have a 140tdci zetec 62 plate from new 11 miles on the clock and the fuel consumption is shocking 35 town 42 mway arnald clark in newcastle have had it in and said there is nothing wrong and ford uk don't want to know where do they get the figures from 62 combined not a chance i have had 9 of there cars and this one is the last from ford
I have the 1.8 L tdci 123bhp and mine gives around 45 mpg around town and anywhere between 55 and 60 on a run at speed of 75 - 80 mph, I think that's good from a huge car.

Note: My actual age is 30, I have it listed as younger only to increase my chances of showing up in searches. I look like my photos and will provide snapshots if you ask. What you see in my port is pretty much what I shoot, but I am open to discussing other things. I do not shoot explicit, couples, or fetish video content. Fetish photography modeling depends on the concept.I am professional and serious about what I do, but I am also friendly and nice and pretty darn fun to shoot with. I have lots experience with 5 years of modeling, and I can work well with all experience levels. I am quite happy to pose fully nude, partly nude, or clothed. I do have some wardrobe including vintage gloves, wedding gowns, stockings and garters, cute lingerie sets, dresses, etc. Ask if you want to know more.I can pose, to get an idea of my main style of posing you can watch this video: http://youtu.be/PGMeApeGvJY I have no problem getting dirty, posing with animals, being outdoors, etc (just no trespassing or public nudity, please).I can do basic make-up and can put my hair up in a braid, ponytail, bun, or simple updo. I welcome working with MUA and hair stylists. My nails are always clean, neat, and natural (or polished with a sheer neutral color), unless requested otherwise. I generally have pubic hair of some sort, but if this is a concern please ask. Yes, I am willing to grow/shave/trim for appropriate compensation.I do have some pain/health issues which have very rarely forced me to cancel a shoot. I have never flaked.
I am available to shoot within the Detroit area including Dearborn, Ferndale, and other close-by suburbs. May be able to travel a bit further out for paid work or with travel compensation.My rates are somewhat flexible and negotiable, and dependent on content and usage, so please contact me to discuss them.I do not drive so I will be driven to and dropped off at shoots. If you are having me sign a release, it would save a bit of time if you could send me a copy to review in advance. I have never had a problem with any release, but I do like to read them over.If you would like references beyond those in my port, let me know. I have done over many, many shoots and have never been approached with a complaint ^_^I accept all friend requests, pretty much, but if you are interested in working with me, please send me a PM.

Saskatchewan Roughriders fans would love to see a breathtaking Sunserial attack.
Remember the good old days, when Pete Rozelle ruled the NFL with an iron fist and players toed the line? Well, now we've got the Goodell days ... Brewing giant Anheuser-Busch, a major NFL sponsor, issued a statement this week saying it was "disappointed and increasingly concerned" with all the recent incidents of domestic violence by NFL players and that it had "shared (its) expectations with the league." As blogger Janice Hough put it: "When you give a beer company the moral high ground, you know you have a problem." ... The statement would seem to imply if the league doesn't butt into its players' lives more diligently, Anheuser-Busch will Bud out.

Ever since The Wanted announced that their new single would be titled "Walks Like Rihanna ," fans have wondered what the diva herself thinks of the shout-out. Well, wonder no more, because the group has actually heard some feedback from Ri-Ri...and it's good.
Speaking to MTV UK , The Wanted's Tom Parker says, "We met her manager Jay Brown in New York and he said that he really liked it and that she really liked it, which is always a good sign. 'Cause if she hated it, we'd be in a pretty bad place." Group member Max George then chimed in, "We'd put it out anyway!"
The boy band also revealed that among the people they've been working with on their forthcoming album is none other than Justin Bieber -- but that's not a big surprise, considering that both acts are managed by Scooter Braun .

Analysis: Clark, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, met for two days with the Cavs earlier this week.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to finish major construction this year to restore the Cat Islands in the Bay of Green Bay.
Almost $2 million are budgeted to help restore islands that have virtually disappeared due to erosion from waves.
The Army Corps is installing four miles of wave barriers -- and they're filling spots around the islands with materials from dredging over the next 30 years.
Brown County port director Dean Haen says a nearby road needs to be repaired before dredging materials can be stored there every other year. The project is expected to create an additional 270 acres of wildlife habitat.
The Corps is also working to finish Renard Island. It's being capped with clean soil on top the dredge materials which built the island. Brown County plans to use the land as a park.
