2013 Ford Escape Gas Mileage
renip Posts: 1I got the 2013 Escape 2.0L AWD and I must say the gas mileage is so bad I have never driven a car that uses this much fuel.. I put 47L in it and I only made it 245km that's 19.1L/100km WTF.. I might as well be driving a hummer. I mostly do city driving but even then it shouldn't be this bad. This is terrible!! This last trip will get me a little farther because I also did some highway this time but even now I went 270km and the fuel light is about to come on.
i understand what they advertise is the average and I wouldn't be complaining if it was using a little above average but this is just insane. I should have bought the honda CRV So after all the extras I'm out 40 grand. Let me tell you.. this car won't get us far in the zombie apocalypse..0
Nope. Not comparing. Just like the Volt a whole lot better. Tired of driving a 13 mpg Escape. Worse mileage of any car I've owned, including 2 six cylinder Nissan Pathfinders. Drove cars the same way. Even drove the Escape much more conservatively to try to improve mileage, but no go. I was so disappointed in the car that I couldn't bear making the payments, so I got a Volt. Of course I wasn't comparing them. They're totally different cars!0
tinycadon, it was worse than that. I took quite a loss on the 2013 Escape. I just didn't want to keep paying for it anymore. I'm much happier with the car I have now. Not the same kind of car (Chevy Volt), but I love it. Very disappointed in the Escape.0
automelon48, it was a FWD.0
It sure seems like the FWD Escapes get a whole lot better gas mileage than the AWD
I do not hear many, if any, people complain about 1.6's or 2.0's FWD models, only the AWD
Right now I have a AWD 2.0 loaner till next week I am getting 18 around town.
It will be interesting when I get my FWD 1.6 back from the recall and drive it for the 1st time. :surprise:
I signed the contract, than came the recall, my car arrived, but they did not let me drive it off the lot cause of the recall. :confuse:0
Ugh!!! I just talked to a dealer yesterday who told me Ford is now giving $2,500 credit to the Escape owners who want to trade them in for another Ford. So basically they're admitting the car is a lemon, I wish I had just kept the '10 Escape I had, what a HUGE mistake!!!0
Ford's 2.0-Liter EcoBoost Engine Wins Second Consecutive Ward's 10 Best Engines Trophy; GT500 Engine Also Honored
Powerful, fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost® engine wins for exceptional performance in Ford Taurus and Focus ST
Shelby GT500 5.8-liter V8 –the world's highest-horsepower regular production V8 engine – also a winner
No competitor has won more 10 Best Engines awards than Ford in the last five years
An EcoBoost engine has won a 10 Best Engines trophy every year since launch
2.0-liter EcoBoost® Four-cylinder Engine | 5.8-liter V8 Engine

DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 12, 2012 – Ford Motor Company's fuel efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder engine is one of two Ford engines this year to win a highly coveted 10 Best Engines trophy from the editors of WardsAuto World.
The 662-horsepower 5.8-liter V8 – the world's most powerful production V8 engine – in the 2013 Shelby GT500 has also won a 10 Best Engines trophy.
Each fall, Ward's editors evaluate the latest powertrains from the world's automakers in rigorous testing to determine which engines deliver the best blend of performance, value, fuel efficiency and refinement.
Ford has won eight 10 Best Engines awards in the last five years – more than any other domestic automaker and tied with Germany's BMW for most wins.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged, direct-injected engine, produced in Valencia, Spain, is Ford's global workhorse EcoBoost engine, powering everything from the rear-wheel-drive Falcon sedan in Australia to vans in Europe and the high-performance Focus ST. Last year, the 2.0-liter won a 10 Best Engines award in the Ford Edge crossover.
"The EcoBoost Taurus and Focus ST really show just how versatile and capable the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is," said Joe Bakaj, Ford vice president of Powertrain Engineering.
"The Focus ST is the first performance application for EcoBoost, and it really delivers the goods," he added. "The 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Taurus replaces a V6 and delivers great all-around performance, along with best-in-class 32 mpg on the highway."
In the Focus ST, the 2.0-liter cranks out 252 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. Magazine reviews have shown Focus 0-60 mph acceleration in the mid-six-second range. In Taurus, the 2.0-liter engine has a completely different demeanor. It is exceptionally smooth and quiet and provides outstanding performance and best-in-class large car fuel economy at 32 mpg highway.
"There are lots of 2.0-liter turbocharged engines out there now," said Drew Winter, editor in chief of WardsAuto World magazine. "What impresses us most this year is EcoBoost's versatility. It is very entertaining as a performance car engine in the Focus ST. But what really amazes us is that it also is a perfect match for the two-ton Taurus family sedan. Even loaded down with passengers, the engine delivers all the power needed and better fuel economy than a V6."
The 5.8-liter V8 engine in the Shelby GT500 impressed Ward's staff not just with its incredible 662 horsepower, but also its efficiency. The GT500 is not subject to a gas guzzler tax, and is rated at 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
"Very few engines deliver the balance of power and fuel efficiency the 5.8-liter does," said Jamal Hameedi, GT500 chief nameplate engineer. "The team spent countless hours dyno testing, tweaking and calibrating to make sure this engine would deliver the high-level power and performance Shelby customers expect. But they also took into account the reality of today's volatile fuel prices. All SVT engineers are very proud of the GT500, its engine, and the responsible fuel efficiency it delivers."
Added Winter: "The 5.8-liter V8 in the Shelby GT500 is the world's most powerful production V8 engine, yet it is so efficient at squeezing power from every drop of gasoline that there is no gas guzzler tax. It actually delivers better fuel economy than many engines with a fraction of the horsepower. Plus it squeaks in under our $55,000 price cap. That's pretty incredible."
Since launch in summer 2009, Ford has sold more than 520,000 EcoBoost-equipped vehicles globally. Ford's global family of EcoBoost engines consists of the award-winning 1.0-liter three-cylinder (coming to North America next year in the 2014 Fiesta); the 1.6-liter available in Escape and Fusion; the 2.0-liter available in Focus ST, Fusion, Taurus, Edge, Escape and Explorer; and the 3.5-liter V6 in the Taurus SHO, an engine also available in the F-150, Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln vehicles.
EcoBoost combines downsizing with turbocharging, direct fuel injection and variable valve timing. Ford holds more than 125 patents for its EcoBoost technologies. This year's 10 Best Engines award is the third for an EcoBoost engine. Last year, the 2.0-liter in the Edge won, while the 3.5-liter in the Taurus SHO won in 2010.0
johnnyuma Posts: 54Lol! Really dude? Quote: "It's a great car! Like night and day compared to the Escape." Why did you buy a SUV/CUV when you really wanted a plug in hybrid? :confuse: Jus' sayin' makes no sense to me. But it's your money throw it around if you want to.0
mf15 Posts: 158This is all interesting to me,we have a 2010 escape v6 awd,I get about 26 mpg
at 75 mph,this is of course long highway runs.
For the price they are charging,MSRP anyway this does not look to good for
Ford once the word on the poor mileage gets out,besides all the recalls.
One piece of advice if you are looking at a new car,test drive it,reset the trip computer,take an extended high speed run,if that particular car is not at or near the stated MPG,try a different one. If none are close then,your on your own as to whether you want to buy it.
The dealers have been telling people for years the mileage will get better with use, never found that to be the case,have owned many new cars. I get the same on this escape as when it was new,my last actual car was an 07 TL
got 33 on the road,when new and when I turned it in. Are these little turbos different,perhaps.
Old Mike0
Good idea, except for the idea about comparing each for extended high speed runs. That part makes sense only for those who routinely drive that way. The rest are better served by driving them in similar conditions to the way they usually drive (ie.- all those complaining about city fuel economy should drive in similar conditions and as aggressively / or not, as they usually drive).
From what I can see, the 2.0L AWD I have right now will likely break 30mpg on all-highway driving, if I drive it right. In regular highway driving, the V6 can probably average about the same as the 2.0L, but probably NOT get the same 'highest' that I could. In town (heavy city, heavy right foot), the 2.0L, and from what everyone here's saying, even the 1.6L, most likely suck down a lot more fuel than non-turbocharged vehicles.
BTW, no offense, but ANY hybrid had better @#$@ well do MUCH better than these, especially in mixed or all-city driving! That's the whole point of the hybrid- where ICE-powered vehicles are least efficient, the hybrids shouldn't be. So if a Volt doesn't, someone bought a lemon or wasted a lot of extra dough. (I personally like the Volt too, but different cars, different classes, different expectations, different costs, just plain different- so no real comparison is possible)0
tim156 Posts: 308So, you think Ford is admitting they have a lemon... wrong. Ford is realizing that there's a bunch of Chicken Little's out there who will give them a perfectly good car with really low miles to resell at a great profit and then they'll sell you another car with a discount you could have negotiated with a salesman and make even more profit.0
It's "Hush Money," plain and simple!0
A friend of mine tracks his mileage on a website called fuelly.com I don't use the site myself, but it does look interesting.
I checked it out recently for the Escape to see what it showed.
Basically, it shows that the 2013's are averaging as good or better than any of the previous generation Escapes. Many owners, many thousands of miles reported.
link title
My average tank of my first 7 tanks is 24.25 Mpg in my 2.0 FWD. Just slightly ahead of the 2013 reported average. My best was 27.6 and worst 20.6.
Unfortunately the website does not seem to differentiate between engines and 2WD/4WD. It is just an average of all fill-ups from all configurations.
Very pleased with my Escape. (mileage and everything else)0
How can you term it 'Hush Money'? How many owners had a problem, 12 or so, out of how many thousands?
They want their customers to be comfortable with what they have.2017 Ford Fusion SE 2017 Ford F-150 Limited0
Ohhhh, I don't know, because Ford is betting the house on this vehicle and they want to minimize the blowback from angry owners??? And these so called "PROBLEMS" aren't just "PROBLEMS" they are vehicles that are catching fire, and this is the 3rd time they've had to recall the Escape for it! Glad you think it's no biggie, I happen to think it is.0
fortherock Posts: 6I have a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium 2.0 AWD in Southern California and after 4000 miles, I am still only getting 17/20/23 mpg average. There is an article regarding Consumer Reports questioning the mpg on the Ford C-Max. Ford says 47 mpg, Consumer Reports could only get 38 mpg. Ford is talking to the EPA regarding the numbers...but the article brings out a good point. Ford tests according to the EPA "Standards" which includes "Highway" Speeds at 48 mph. When increased to 65 to 75 mph, people lose as much as 20% fuel Economy ~38 mpg from a target of 47 mpg. I noticed in my owners manual for the 2013 Ford Escape it states you can improve your mpg 15% if you reduce your speed to 50 mph on the Freeway...combine that with the 5-10% reduction in fuel economy caused by 10% Ethanol, and you can explain my poor fuel economy. This leaves me with just one question - "Why would Ford tune an engine for 50 mph on the highway? That performs 15% less when driving the speed limit? Do they want to put my family in danger by driving too slow? I'm taking my car in next week. We will see what they say.0
mrmonty Posts: 3I wanted to report that I am getting nowhere near the advertised gas mileage on my 2013 Escape 2.0 AWD. On a 500 mile trip all highway, I averaged 17.6-18.2! Half the time my cruise was set at 70 MPH. In the City it's about exactly the same. I have 1700 miles on the car right now. Not sure if there's a "break-in" period, but I hope it gets better. ADvertising 28/29 for the AWD 2.0 and only getting 18 on the highway is a MAJOR problem. Am I wrong? Or overreacting? Any thoughts would be helpful.
PS- Only other issue is that it rides very rough with the 19" wheels in the city, other than that I love the car. Acceleration is great, features are awesome, park assist etc. etc.0
Having traded in a vehicle that got about 16 mpg, on a good day, I'm okay with the mpg. It is the peanut sized tank I take issue with (more on that later).
I have the 2.0L 4WD, and just turned 1,200 miles. Based on my last two tanks I am getting combined mpg of 23.3 mpg. Most of my driving is city (guessing 75% city and 25% highway). based on the real time readout, I estimate that I get around 21 mpg city and 29 or 30 highway. I will also add the mpg indicator in the vehicle provided quite accurate (the readout for each tank full of gas was within 0.1 mpg of the calculated actual).
So, as I said, I don't take issue with the mpg. What I hate is the range! Refueling shortly atfter the low fuel indicator goes on, I'm getting only 250 miles on a tank! Has anyone confirmed that the tank on this vehicle is 15.1 gallons (run out of gas and refueled to full)? Here is why I ask. Besides calculating my mpg when I fill up, I also monitor via the tripmeter (reset at each fill up). On my last two fill ups (one resulted in 22.8 mpg and the other in 23.8 mpg) the "miles to empty" indicated that I had 46 and 47 miles respectively (matching the mpg reading). Here's the issue -- when I filled up, each time the vehicle took 11 gallons of gas, meaning that with a 15.1 gallon tank, I had 4.1 gallons remaining. Given the mpg, my range until empty should have read closer to 95 miles, and not 46 or 47. On each tank of gas, I traveled about 250 miles -- this was stated accurately on the tripmeter. So, I contacted Ford and asked them to 1) confirm that the tank is actually 15.1 gallons and not 13.1 gallons, and 2) verify whether or not the "miles to empty" calculation provides an intentional false reading, that includes a buffer of 2 extra gallons? After 3 days, Ford responded by saying "take the vehicle to your dealer!"
Anyone else monitor their mpg and system readouts as I have described above? what are your results? Are your "Miles to empty" reported accurately, or does it seem to under-estimate the actual range?0
Chris, the 2.0 AWD is rated 21/28 City/Hwy.
You said your cruise control was set for 70Mph half the time. What speeds were you driving for the other half of the time?
Cruise control is very inefficient if you are driving on any hilly terrain. Not sure if there were any hills on your trip.
Were you driving against the wind at any point in your trip?
70 Mph is not the most efficient cruising speed. If you are looking to get the EPA estimate, you should be driving closer to 60 Mph.
What kind of gas? I think I sound like a broken record on this topic, but the gas you buy will vary your mileage.
The EPA uses 91-93 octane Ethanol-free gas for testing.(from everything I have read) Try to find some 91 octane Ethanol free fuel, to see if this has any effect.
I would not expect more than a 5% improvement after break-in.0
I agree, the tank is way to small, Ive tracked my purchases on fueleconomy.gov the most i have ever put in the tank is 12.38g and I usually fill up when the lights on and when I have 30-40 miles left on the empty gague.0
Wistrod, I've taken mine down to the E on the gauge & filled up 13.3 gallons. there maybe another gallon or less in there after that, but what I do know is that I've been told that some of the tank's capacity can not be used and that running it down to the bone will cause your fuel pump to burn up without the gas to cool it down. It is what it is i guess?0
Thanks for the feedback. That's exactly what I have been finding. There is no way the tank is 15.1 gallons, least not useable gallons. Per your data, if the tank is 15.1 gallons, and you put in about 12.4, you ought to have 2.7 gallons left. If you only have 30 to 40 miles in range, that would mean your mpg is between 11 and 15!0
Thanks for the response. I've read the same thing about running down to empty (potential problems that can occur). They Ford) ought to be made to specify the "useable" fuel tank size and not the total capacity. Seems to me there is only a little more than 13 gallons of useable fuel on board, providing a total range (based on my mileage) of about 280 miles. More realistically, since I will usually fill up when the low fuel level light goes on, my true range is about 245 miles. That pretty much sucks! Why the engineers didn't come up with a way to mount a 19 or 20 gallon tank is beyond me!0
I feel you, and im not even in the AWD. 2.0 gas boost engine. The main thing is my other cars I have driven get posted EPA est. Using the same cheap walmart gas, im the same driver, have the same habbits. live in the same area. However in my Velositer I get a check every year because they overstated the MPG's.
Im not even running the A/C, im know its gonna be worse in the summer, when I use the push to start to cool off the car.... bla still a fun car but the MPG did play alot into me buying the car.
so now I need to buy high octaine gas, The info I had from Ford said no, that would only give me a boost in HP not MPG. And I need to buy gas with out corn.... I dont think that is possible living by Houston... even out of town gas stops have 10% E . So there is no way I can achieve those EPA numbers. and yes my tires are filled with nitrogen at posted on the door limits. and I have no cargo other then my big butt. I do log my fule at the www.fueleconomy.gov site. I only see 4 people recording for the 2.0 T
As more of these hit the roads I think alot of people are gonna be pissed0
mbb21 Posts: 7I have been lurking on this subject for a while and reading up on the mileage results people are getting under various conditions. I have a Titanium 2.0 4WD with about 1675 miles on it. I am in flat Miami, FL - no hills, and drive 75/25 city/highway and also use 93 octane fuel. During all of this time my mileage has averaged 19.3 mpg according to the on board computer. I have also been measuring the mileage by hand and so far for the last few tanks it has been 18.92, 18.70 and 19.26 mpg. Also, when looking in the submenu under the MPG display, I think it is called the EcoMode, it shows my driving with all green leaves, in other words, I am driving as fuel efficiently as possible as judged by the car's own system.
Given that the car is rated by the EPA at 21/28 city/highway, my numbers are not too far off from the bottom range. However, this is not what I expected or expect! Doing the math and given the EPA numbers, I should be averaging 22.75 mpg given the 75/25 percent city/highway driving that I do. Right now I am under that mark by 16.7%, that is quite a miss! So even if the system improves by 5% by further break in mileage my mpg will still be under the claim by over 11.6%. Not exactly what I expected.
The second beef I have with the car is its limited range. I now have to gas up almost every week and at most get 250 miles on a stretch before I need to fill up. On the last fill up where I got the 19.26 mpg reading the system says that my range is 273 miles before the next fill. Too bad Ford did not put an extra gallon sized tank on.
Outside of these two things the car is a blast and I thoroughly enjoy it. It is a great ride, fun to ride automobile that could have been made just great with a little extra care and effort from Ford.0
See my previous posts here and in the 2013 Escape fuel economy topic; I get advertised numbers using regular 10% ethanol (Walmart too!). So it's definitely possible. I've yet to have a single tank that was 100% highway, so my current high of over 29 mpg for a tank can still be bettered. That tank was achieved at around 5000 miles on the car, using non-ethanol 93 octane gas (whether that had a real impact or not will take further experimentation). Regardless, I routinely see 25+ mixed (80% highway?), using that Walmart gas..
Unfortunately that means one of two things-
1. You (and a lot of others here) bought a lemon (and I didn't), or
2. Your conditions / driving aren't really in tune with the car's most efficient operation (regardless of what the DIC tells you).
No offense intended, but all indications are pointing to #2.0
I have the 1.6L FWD & only get between 235-260mi of mixed driving, but I have been able to get 408mi / 31mpg on an all highway trip doing 65-750
So are you going to take the 'hush money'?
My wife's 2.0 AWD is averaging 250-275 between fills @22 mpg.
She is going to try premium gas at some point to see if it makes a difference.
She was filling up between 275-300 in the 09 Escape V6 AWD.
Fuel mileage was a little lower.2017 Ford Fusion SE 2017 Ford F-150 Limited0
No, I'll either trade out to another manufacturer & take the hit now, or wait until spring or summer after I paid it down a little more. I should've listened to the folks who said don't buy a car in its 1st year, live and learn!0
Let me ask you this, did you experience the overheating problem with your Escape? Recalls can involve a large number of vehicles, but usually affect only a few.
I have bought quite a few bleeding edge Fords over the years. Some have had real problems, most not.2017 Ford Fusion SE 2017 Ford F-150 Limited0

Not bad, it's fine by me.
Too similar to the "This is Sparta" slogans MSU adopted after that homoerotic movie came out a few years ago.
I think we're trying to co-opt and neutralize that meme once and for all. Strength in numbers. Remember "All In"? I'm still "all in", how about you?
There is nothing more fun during football season than supporting your favorite team with a good cheer while wearing a jersey. Sometimes, its rather expensive to buy a jersey from a store, but you can make your own at home at a fraction of the cost. Thanks. Regards, distro online
It is an improvement from last year and Adidas still sucks.
Adidas is willing to pay us more money than Nike. Therefore I think they're rather awesome.
P.S. I didn't neg you.
I agree that the sweet pile of cash they gave us to sign was very nice but Nike apparrel is just much better quality in my opinion. The football team even started chanting Nike when Brandon was telling them about future changes. So in short, Adidas money is good, Adidas apparrel is bad.
Nike is old. UnderArmour is better, or at least it was till fat people started wearing it. Fat people in fitted UA is pretty god awful.
I wish it said "This is Michigan... For god sakes". That would be better.
"This is Michigan... now everyone stop bitching already."
I like the front more than last year's, though I think having the entire schedule on the back would be better.
I like it, especially compared to last years. It would look cooler if it was a blue shirt with maize writing!
It may look cooler, but I never want blue season shirts again. It's hard enough getting a maize out as is.
if notre dame isn't a legit maize out I give up on it ever happening properly.
It ain't happening. People are either too stubborn, too cool, or to old to participate in Maize-outs.
The problem with the maize outs is that we don't have maize jerseys. Penn States white out is successful because they actually have white jerseys. People don't like spending a minimum of $50 or over a $100 for the authentic jerseys and not wear them when they go to the game.
Is it just me or does the pic on the front kinda resemble a viking longship?
I thought it was a boat, then realized what it was...I then showed it to my wife and she said why is there a boat on the Michigan shirt?
Definitely saw a ship there too, hopefully the contrast is adjusted better on the shirt so it doesn't look like that.
Good call guys on the ship thing. I like the slogan, but the picture could be better.
I saw that, and also... for some reason, the planting of the flag at Iwo Jima.
... tremendous. But I think it could use a little more touching of young men.
CRAPITY CRAP CRAP CRAP. They need to let the students design the shirts again. Adidas is terrible.
I like where they were going with this, but the picture on the front was a poor choice for a single color print. It's muddy and indistinct, and if you didn't already know what it was, you'd be confused. The Big House on the back, on the other hand, looks pretty good. They should ditch the front picture for either a better one or just a block M or helmet or something.
Why don't we put our program's accomplishments on the back of the shirt anymore? Any team can put its schedule on there; that's nothing special. Only we can claim to be #1 all-time in wins/winning percentage.
Still the best shirt design and my go-to gameday shirt
It was also the second year (2004), although that time it was in a smaller font. I've never understood why we'd want to go away from that.
after looking at it for more than 1 minute. I have to second the earlier post: i like Adadis money, I hate their designs. I prefer Nike gear.
I like the shirt but, my fav one is the 2003 shirt still. I agree this would be awesome if it said get the fuck off our field
Hard to tell for sure, but are those pics of the Big House pre-expansion? An intentional statement saying that UM is going back to how things were pre-RR or just the best pics they had.....or am I seeing the pics all wrong?
That's the first thing I noticed at hated about the shirt before looking at everything else and hating it. I could understand if this were 2008 or 2009 so you wouldn't really want the construction of the buildings on your shirt, but the stadium has already been rededicated. If they want to be "old school" and use "This is Michigan Football," get a picture of Yost's or Bo's old teams to put on the front of the shirt.
Pretty much any shirts before 2009 > 2011 shirt > 2009 shirt >2010 shirt
I like it a lot. This inspired in me the images of Washington crossing the Delaware and the Army planting the flag at Iwo Jima. I think it's very strong.
They should print a special edition version of this t-shirt featuring Zoltan on the turf.
Players want Nike...Give em what they want. Why is it just the home schedule on the back though? like why not the whole schedule? I like them a lot though.
They could have at least used pictures from the renovated Big House...And am I the only person around here who actually liked last year's shirt?
but the adidas is wack for football, the american one :P. W/e i m sure they offered more cash...just a heads to my fellow sneakerheads, the vintage nike dunk low is coming out this spring in a wolverine colour way. go blue
slap the banner gets me pumped up whether i am in person or watching on tv. LOVE IT! are the Bold games under the lights? i can almost smell the artificial grass, hot dogs, popcorn, hot chocolate, beer and hear the sounds of pads crackalackin and The M fight song. Hail to the Victors!!! GO BLUE!!!

Leadtek Winfast GTX 260 Extreme+ Review
A large piece of the market is at the mid-range gaming level. Not all consumers can afford the most powerful products, especially in times of economic downturn. The GTX 260 line is aimed for this market, providing high end gaming for a low price. Announced in early January, the latest Leadtek WinFast GTX 260 EXTREME+ (Leadtek Limited) with 216-shader processes and built on 55nm technology should fit the bill well, and hopefully overclock just as good!
The company Leadtek was founded on the 24th of October 1986, and is lead by chairman K. S. Lu. They offer a three-year warranty on video cards, which is one of their many lines of products that includes video conferencing/surveillance, workstation and desktop graphics cards, transcoding cards, GPS, TV tuners, and much more.
Closer Look:
The box art has switched from robots to racecars, to give a better vision of the effect the company wishes to have: speedy. Robots are cool, but cars are fast. The message is clearer although the image is reminiscent of Abit motherboard box art. The front has a sneak peak at the card, which does still have a robot on it. Some of the key features are also listed like PCI Express 2.0 usage, 896MB GDDR3, and a silent heat sink. The back lists the features of the processing unit, and more information on the card like the 216 shader processes and 448-bit memory lanes in eight languages. The contents are also listed on the back.
The sides are virtually the same, except an additional patch containing barcodes and product numbers. The other information is reiterated from the front of the box. The sides are the same, and again reiterate the front's features, and also the system requirements. The major requirements are a PCI Express slot and 500w power supply with 12-volt rail(s) providing 36 amps.
With the box open, a formed foam block has a cutout for the adapters and other peripherals. The manual and driver disk sit neatly on the video card, which is surrounded in protection, including the anti-static bag, which is sealed with tap at the end – helping to keep dust from getting on it. Hidden underneath the driver disk is a free game called Overlord. Also included is a DVI-HDMI adapter, DVI-VGA, HDMI audio cable, manual, component out, and two 6-pin power connectors with both male and female Molex connections.
Lets see what Leadtek has brought to the table with their latest spin of the GTX 260!

University of North Carolina officials have been in communication with the NCAA about a case involving Rodney Blackstock, a figure with ties to NBA agents who has a relationship with P.J. Hairston, the Tar Heels rising junior guard, according to athletics director Bubba Cunningham.
USA Today reported in early May that Blackstock, who played basketball at UNC Greensboro 10 years ago, paid thousands of dollars to the Amateur Athletic Union coach of Ben McLemore, the Kansas guard who�s expected to be among the top selections in the NBA Draft. The payments Blackstock made, USA Today reported, were �on behalf of sports agents and financial advisers� who sought McLemore as a client.
Hairston, who is a Greensboro native, has apparently known Blackstock for years.
�We�ve been aware of the McLemore / Blackstock case since May 4,� Cunningham said, referring to the date when USA Today published its story about Blackstock�s payments to McLemore�s AAU coach. �And we�ve been doing research and finding as much information about that situation as we can to ensure that we don�t have any issues associated with that.�
Hairston is awaiting an August court date on a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession. Durham police earlier this month arrested him at a license checkpoint. Police also charged his two passengers with misdemeanor marijuana possession.
At the time of his arrest, Hairston, who was the Tar Heels� leading scorer during his sophomore season, was driving a rented 2013 GMC Yukon. Police discovered a gun outside the vehicle.
North Carolina coach Roy Williams said he will wait until he has all the facts concerning the June 5 arrest of leading scorer P.J. Hairston before deciding how to handle the situation, according to a report by USA Today.
In that report, Williams said: �We are doing one thing: We are waiting until all the information comes out. The good thing is, I don�t have to make a decision right now because we�re in summer school, fall semester has not started, basketball has not started. We�re going to wait and see what happens. I�ve got some ideas, but right now those ideas are staying in my mind.�

Demolition of the old Leavenworth County Jail building began Tuesday. And county officials believe they've resolved issues that had raised concerns about delays to the project.
Demolition of the old Leavenworth County Jail building began Tuesday. And county officials believe they've resolved issues that had raised concerns about delays to the project.
The former jail property, located at 503 S. Third St., is still owned by the county. After the demolition is finished, a parking lot will be constructed on that site.
The building reportedly was constructed in 1939 as a Works Progress Administration project. The jail was moved from the building after the Justice Center, which is located next door, opened in 2000.
Last week, Leavenworth County commissioners were briefed on an issue that had surfaced concerning equipment in the building that was said to belong to AT&T. And John Forslund, the county's director of buildings and grounds, said an employee of AT&T indicated the phone company needed to perform work that could cause a delay of up to four weeks.
Commissioners decided last week to proceed with the demolition but preserve the AT&T equipment.
Commissioners were told Tuesday the issue had been resolved and AT&T has no use for the equipment, which is said to be outdated.
Also Tuesday, commissioners discussed three art deco panels that had been removed from the front of the old jail building ahead of the demolition.
Last week, commissioners were asked to consider a change order with Kaaz Construction, the contractor handling the demolition, for the removal of the panels at a cost of $3,742.
County Counselor David Van Parys said the possibility of preserving the panels had been discussed with the Leavenworth City Commission when county officials were seeking a demolition permit from the city.
But at the time, county officials didn't know how much removing them for preservation would cost, and they didn't know it could cause a potential delay in the project, Van Parys said.
He said officials were unable to identify a use for the art deco panels.
County commissioners did not approve the change order, and they had planned to discuss the matter again this week.
But the panels were removed from the building Thursday afternoon.
Forslund said Tuesday that the panels are being stored safely on the east side of the property.
Because the change order was not approved, county officials feel the panels are the property of Kaaz Construction, according to County Administrator Pat Hurley.
Hurley said the company can do what it wants with the panels.
"So it is basically just part of the demolition," Commission Chairman Bob Holland said of removing the panels.
Hurley said he'd been contacted Friday by someone from the First City Museum in Leavenworth who expressed interest in having the art deco panels. But Hurley was told the museum has no funds to pay for the panels or the ability to transport them.
The county administrator said he will advise a representative of the museum that he should deal with Kaaz Construction regarding the panels.
A concrete "Leavenworth County Jail" sign that previously was removed from the building has been turned over to the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office.
"We look to preserve it," Sheriff Andy Dedeke said.
He said his office also has a cell door and other items from the old jail.
Forslund said the demolition of the old jail may be completed this week.

D049 News / Committee / Bio - Phil Phelps
State Representative Phil Phelps is serving his third term as the representative for the 49th House District, which comprises the cities of Flushing, Mount Morris and Swartz Creek, and part of the city of Flint, and Flint and Mount Morris townships. Rep. Phelps previously served as the Democratic vice chair of the House Communications and Technology Committee, and also served on the Health Policy Committee.
Rep. Phelps was born on May 1, 1979, in Flint, Michigan to Walter and Sharon Phelps. Phil's father, a disabled veteran, worked for General Motors Metal Fabrication in Flint. During the 80's, Walter suffered a terrible workplace injury and the family had to fight a long battle for workers compensation during which they lost their home and Sharon had to take a job with a local bank to keep food on the table. Phil's family had to fight through adversity many times. Working hard and overcoming adversity has become a hallmark of Phil's life and career.
Rep. Phelps focused on biology, horticulture, and landscape architecture while in high school and loved volunteering on community beautification projects with his father and with the Boy Scouts of America. Phil began working on farms and in a greenhouse while attending high school and began paying taxes at the age of 15. He knows the value of hard work and has had to earn everything he has.
Rep. Phelps studied at Mott Community College and at the University of Michigan-Flint. While in college, he was the President of the University of Michigan-Flint College Democrats and a member of Political Science National Honor Society Pi Sigma Alpha. Phil began volunteering for Congressman Dale Kildee at the age of 13, but it was in his years at the University of Michigan that he discovered public service was both a passion and a talent. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 2006 while working on Gov. Jennifer Granholm's reelection campaign and acting as a spokesman for the Genesee Health Plan's ballot initiative. After the campaign, he took a position in the Michigan State House of Representatives Democratic Communications office where he worked for eight Democratic members from the Mid-Michigan area. Shortly thereafter, he was tapped by Lt. Gov. John Cherry to become a regional director of external affairs for the Granholm-Cherry administration. During his time as a regional director, Phil was a point of contact for many local leaders and had involvement with many economic development projects across Michigan. Phil left the executive office to help a tech start-up company move to the commercialization phase of their development and then rejoined the state Legislature as a special advisor for House Democratic Leader Richard Hammel and adamantly fought against the so called right-to-work laws and attempts to limit the choice of women across Michigan. After Hammel left the Legislature, he became Chief of Staff for incoming Rep. Pam Faris in 2013.

2009 Quinnipiac Invitational Women's Results
2009 Quinnipiac Invitational Men's Results
HAMDEN, Conn. (September 19, 2009) - The Sacred Heart men's cross country team brought home their second-straight team title winning the Quinnipiac Invitational on Saturday afternoon. The Pioneer women had a second place showing at the event that served as a warm-up for next month's Northeast Conference Championship. Sacred Heart junior Andrew Houghtalen (West Charlton, NY) was the men's top-runner in fourth place while junior Kimberly DeLoreto (Hillsdale, NJ) was the Pioneer women's top-finisher taking third.
The Quinnipiac Cross Country Course will serve as the site of the 2009 NEC Championships on Saturday, Oct. 31. Only two teams from the NEC did not participate on Saturday as Robert Morris and Saint Francis (Pa.) did not make the trip to Hamden.
The SHU men finished atop the 11-team field with 58 total points for their second win in as many weeks, a program first. Central Connecticut State took second with 88 points and Monmouth finished third with 95. The men placed all five scorers in front of second place CCSU's third runner, and put six runners in front of their number four runner. The Pioneer women were second in the field of 11 teams with 59 total points as host Quinnipiac claimed the top spot with 19 points. The Monmouth Hawks finished in third.
"We are very happy to win this preview meet today, but we're keeping things in perspective," commented head coach Christian Morrison. "There are a lot of good teams in the NEC, and we know we'll have to be at our best later in the season to have a chance to beat them. Our focus right now is squarely on the championship meets that come in October and November."
For the second-consecutive week, Houghtalen crossed the finish line first for the Pioneers, recording his second career top-five finish. Houghtalen clocked in at 26:07.1 to lead five Pioneer runners in the top-20 overall. Also finishing in the top-10 was sophomore Andrew Sullivan (Ellington, CT) who took ninth in a time of 26:36.7. For Sullivan, a sophomore transfer from Quinnipiac, it was his first career top-10 finish as he moves up to 15th on the SHU all-time list with a 42 second personal best time.
Running in 15th and 16th were sophomores Richard Marcello (Foster, RI) and Jeffrey Lusignan (East Montpelier, VT) who clocked in at 26:54.4 and 26:57.4, respectively, marking new personal best times for both. Crossing the line in 20th place overall was freshman Christopher Connelly (Medford, NY) who ran the 8K course in 27:03.8 to take over eighth place on the SHU all-time freshman list. Rounding out the SHU top-seven were seniors Ryan Murdoch (Salem, CT) in 23rd (27:06.5) and Brendan Rickert (Danbury, CT) in 29th (27:13.9).
For the women, DeLoreto led five runners who finished inside the top-20 on the day. The junior posted a time of 18:09.7 to take third and notch her first top-five finish of the season and second of her career. Finishing in the top-10 for the first time in her career was freshman Olivia Civardi (Brightwaters, NY) who took home 10th overall. Civardi, the reigning NEC Rookie of the Week, clocked in at 18:56.8.
Senior Sarah Tencza (Succasunna, NJ) ran 12th overall crossing the line in 19:03.4 while junior Samantha Troy (Lebanon, CT) took 16th in 19:19.9. SHU freshman Alyssa Selmquist (Northford, CT) ran in 18th overall with a time of 19:24.9.
The rest of the SHU top-seven featured sophomore Mekenzie Krause (Bennington, VT) in 25th (19:41.2) and freshman Megan Papp (Niantic, CT) in 38th (20:02.8).
"The women had a solid early season outing today, but we can definitely perform better. I think we may be able to contend for a conference championship this season, but we will have to keep progressing and improving to have a chance."
Both Pioneer teams will remain in state and in town next weekend when they take part in the Fairfield University Victor F. Leeber Invitational. The meet will start at 11:00 am.

Please comment and tell me if I should change anything :)
Damn, I don't understand... When I read "Why aren't you growing??" article I see that there is written "Training a bodypart once per week (and one bodypart per day) is one of the worst ways to train. The simple fact is that training using an upper/lower split or a push/pull split or 3 full body days will provide double or triple the training stimulus than training a muscle once per week and thus, if done correctly will lead to much, much greater growth and strength gains."
I am confused. When I find a fullbody program people say that it's better to use split and that means I will train bodypart once per week...
It's personal preference. Some people recover easier than others so a full body 3 days a week works well and some people recover badly so a split is the best. If you recover well, your program is fine, although I would switch Friday to Saturday if possible because your body needs rest overall.
Any program based on the major compound exercises is going to be good for bulk. Bulk comes from the amount of calories you eat.
You have way too many exercises listed, and if you're actually able to do all of that without over training, then you aren't lifting heavy enough, especially if your goal is bulk not withstanding fat.
Base your work out around the Bench Press, Deadlift, Squat, and Overhead Press. Eliminate about half of those exercises in your list, and decrease your reps to 5, while increasing the weight. Even consider going down to 3 reps and further increasing the weight, if you can. The only muscles you won't hit with those 4 are your biceps and calfs. Do isolation movements to hit those however you wish, whenever you wish.
Just keep in mind the idea behind bulking is more calories and heavier lifting, but with an emphasis on the calories part. You WILL not get big if you don't eat more.
Thanks everyone. :)
So if I base my workout on deadlift,squat,bench press and shoulder press, should I just do it 3times a week? All the same..? :D
I agree with everything bluecore said. With that many exercises you will over train at some point if you are lifting with any appreciable weight.
If you want to do 3x a week then I would try
Workout A
Bench Bench Press
+ 1 or 2 accessory lifts
Workout B
Overhead Press ( I would suggest in front of chest for the sake of your shoulders)
+ 1 or 2 accessory lifts
Then on week 1 do A, B, A ... week 2 do B, A, B.
For rep ranges for the large compound lifts I would suggest in the 3-5 but up to 10 or even 12 can be useful.
Rep ranges on the accessory lifts should be in the 8-12 or even 15 range.
Eventually this workout will become too much as well depending on how advanced you are.... At that point I would recommend 4x a week workout focusing on 1 of the big lifts per day with 2 accessory exercises.
That's my take on it.
I appreciate your help. Thanks! :)
jaafar, the simple answer to your question is yes.
beginners (something i would even consider myself, even though i happen to know a decent amount about body building, i am not always vigilant) put on lots of muscle doing simple 3 day splits based on these movements. what iron worker posted is a prime example of what a beginner should be doing. again, i can't stress it enough: the important thing is that you are doing these movements correctly, and are progressing slow enough so that your mechanics do not suffer and you don't over train or injure yourself. every 6-7 weeks, deload: do some cardio, or some easy lifting. there are more detailed methods on how you can deload but i wouldn't see them as applicable to a beginning lifter.
that said, assuming proper eating (A LOT, remember you're bulking, who cares about the fat), you should be able to progress on EACH of these lifts at a rate of 5lb (bench press, overhead press) to 10lb (squat, dead lift) every week for a period several months. at that point, you should be starting to see blatant results, and you'll still be able to progress like this most likely, but at a slower rate (like, 5 pounds every 2 weeks or something to that effect). after THAT stops working, more careful manipulation of the process will be needed in order to gain. i wouldn't expect to get to that point (where you actually need to change your routine) for at least a year.
in my experience as a baseball player and an all around decent athlete, the biceps and calfs are the most useless muscles on my body. as for calfs, the biceps are almost a purely cosmetic muscle, and what's more, from what i have read people seem to have a heavily influencial genetic pre-disposition on whether or not they can even make their calfs get bigger. in other words, you can do iso movements for them as much as you want, but for most people they're stuck with the calfs that were given to them. point being, i wouldn't worry about them much, unless your concern is women (women like biceps).
Haha, bluecore, lold at the last sentence. I didn't expect to get so much information in this forum. Thanks, man! :)

Angel Sanchez' back has been an issue all Spring, but he's expected to be in the lineup against the Pirates on Wednesday.
Also, in the Astros' search for their OF5, you may have noticed that J.B. Shuck is still in Major-League camp, joining Brian Bogusevic and Jason Bourgeois as candidates for that OF5 spot.
"Hopefully, they know what my style of game is, and I just wanted to come in here and give the manager and coaches up here a chance to see it so they can see that I'm a hard worker and I just do what I have to do to get it done. Hopefully, I've been able to show that."

Sanchez expected back Wednesday

Still think Locke would be best choice.Best hitter of the bunch and had a better spring. Might as well just release him. He does not appear to be in their plans at all.

I've always wondered what the heck they are doing with Locke.
- March 22, 2011 at 9:06 AM
I wonder what they have told him about their plans for him. Maybe he will comment on his twitter at some point. Maybe he is just not very aggresive in pushing his own case. He should ask them for his release to try and get on with another team. Time is running out on him. Bogusevic may indeed be the fifth outfielder but he has done nothing to show he is worthy.

Just pondering, what quotes,sayings, words of wisdom, pearls of great price, inspire you? We all know words can hurt, can degrade, cause damage. But what does it for you, the ones you hold dear, go back to, apply to you reason for continuing this quest we call life? They can be funny, (as Groucho in above header), goosebump causing, non-sequitor, cause you to well up each time you hear them, yes even derogatory, self effacing, whatever. But what I'm really looking for is that spark from that quote, that saying, that feeling that you can't describe. One of mine is from the comic strip 'Pogo' wherein he says " We has met the enemy, and he is us". I know this has been said by others in different ways, but this basically distills it down for me. From Gandi, "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it". I like that. Anyway, any qoute, saying from any source even( gasp, the horror)religious. Remember, any source. Oh and don't forget the source of some of the greatest sayings of all, anonymous, or as I like to say "common sense from the common people". Thanks.

Thanks, William. He sure had a way with expressing things. Wonder what the old deist would think if he saw how things were now, huh?
he would and Im sure, he's rolling over in his grave.
I was just reminded of another one that applies to this AN group, as well as the greater community:
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately" - Ben Franklin
Indeed my friend. Indeed.
And one from Spider Robinson:
Life will continue to suck until somebody finds the "Undo" key.
The quotes are all quite inspiring. One of my favorites is from Voltaire:
"The perfect is the enemy of the good" or "The best is the enemy of the good"
The original: "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien."
These words help me not to waste so much time nit picking and to get things done even if they aren't perfect. This quote has some things in common with your Ghandi quote Tony Carroll.
Forgot to add one from a favorite boss of yore about higher ups that demand things on a short deadline:
"If they want it bad, they get it bad."
Yes it does. What has always impressed me about quotes is how people, common or "famous", find a way to distill an idea down to a few simple words or phrases, sometimes contradictory, sometimes saying the same things, but bringing a view different than the one you are familiar with. Really brings a new perspective. Thanks, annet, and you too sk8eyecat. Peace.
My favorite curmudgeon is H. L. Mencken .
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.
Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.
For centuries theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
Oh, my! YESSS! I love curmudgeons! (Is "curmudgeon" masculine, or gender-neutral? I think I are one...)
Curmudgeonettes ??
Heee-heeee-heeeee! I just had a "vision" of a bunch elderly ex-chorus girls attempting to do a kick line.

Prenda Soap Opera: Steele Contradicts His Own Previous Claims, Lutz Disappears Again... And The Mother-in-Law Surprise
from the again? dept
Mark Lutz's disappearing act:
Mark Lutz has made it something of a habit to not appear where he's required to. He missed a key hearing in San Francisco, as well as a deposition in Georgia. In the California case, it took Team Prenda nearly a week to even acknowledge that Lutz had an excuse, which it then tried to keep shielded from the public. After that was rejected (repeatedly), it was finally admitted that Lutz was apparently "detained" at the airport while trying to board the flight. In this case, they produced a boarding pass, though it's unclear why John Steele would have Lutz's boarding pass, or how he magically found Lutz's friends driving around the streets of Miami early in the morning (the hearing in Minnesota was in the late morning, so it must have been an early flight). It seems unlikely that courts are going to continue to forgive Lutz for his disappearing act when ordered by courts to appear.
It was especially pertinent in this case, given that the whole focus of this particular hearing was on the legitimacy of the copyright assignment to AF Holdings, and the point was to get everyone together in a room to find out who actually signed the document. Lutz not showing up can't make Judge Noel happy -- and he'd already demonstrated an awareness that Team Prenda is up to no good with all of its activities.
John Steele finally takes a stand... though he may wish he hadn't.
This was a bit odd. Seeing as Steele had pleaded the Fifth in the Otis Wright case in California, it seems like a badly miscalculated move to take the stand in Minnesota, where he needed to testify about some of the same issues. His testimony can go back and be used elsewhere, including in Otis Wright's court. You don't get to plead the fifth in one court, pretend that never happened, and then testify in another court.
Furthermore, Steele made a bunch of claims that appear to contradict previous claims. For example, he talks about how he supposedly helped Cooper set up VPR Internationale. Of course, we'd already discussed how the timing on this is wrong. In a previous filing in a case in Arizona, Steele had said, via sworn deposition, that Cooper had expressed interest in setting up a company in early 2011, and then later said that "Cooper ended up not moving forward with the ideas Steele proposed to him." Yet, VPR Internationale was formed in 2010 (i.e.,. before this conversation supposedly happened). And while it had Alan Cooper's name attached to it, it was done with John Steele's email account, and the physical address was of Steele's sister. Also, while Steele had said in the earlier case that Cooper never went forward with this company, now he's claiming he did, which would explain why actual lawsuits were filed under this. It would appear that in either this case or the Arizona case, something Steele said was blatantly false.
Also, the claims about hooking up Lutz and Cooper seem far fetched and unbelievable given a variety of other statements. Cooper directly denied ever talking to Lutz on the stand. But then there's the question of who actually got the signature, and here Steele starts to throw Lutz under the bus, saying that he believed that Cooper had authorized Lutz to sign on his behalf. That's interesting, because in the now infamous deposition of Paul Hansmeier in the case in Northern California, Hansmeier (who is now acting as the lawyer in this case, if you can keep all this straight) specifically said that Lutz had asked Steele about Cooper's signature and if it's legit. From that deposition in February:
Mark Lutz spoke to Mr. Steele and said, Well, I understand that there's an issue with this Alan Cooper and asked Mr. Steele point-blank, Is the signature a forgery. Mr. Steele said the signature is not forgery. And he asked him, Is the -- is this signature authentic. Mr. Steele says, yes, the signature is authentic. Based on Mr. Steele's representation, we have no reason to believe from what Mr. Steele said, at least, that the signature is a forgery or there's some sort fraud going on with respect to the signature.So... to get this straight: in different cases, Steele, Hansmeier and Lutz have argued that Cooper actually signed the document, that Steele got Cooper to sign the document, that Lutz asked Steele if the signature was legit... and that Steele overheard Cooper and Lutz talking, believed that Cooper gave Lutz permission to sign his name, and that it's likely Lutz who signed for Cooper (something Cooper fully denies).
Of course, if, as they're claiming now, Lutz signed for Cooper, then why would Lutz have called Steele to confirm the signature is legit, as Hansmeier himself said while being deposed? Hansmeier and Steele simply can't keep their story straight -- and telling different courts wholly conflicting answers is generally not a smart thing to do (leaving aside the move to plead the Fifth elsewhere and then testify on the same issues later). I've said it before and I'll say it again: Steele reminds me of people I've known who think they're the smartest person in the world, when they're really not. They seem to think they can talk themselves out of any situation at all. But they generally end up making things worse and worse for themselves.
Thanksgiving in the Steele household may be chilly this year
The wacky issue to come out of the hearing is the involvement of John Steele's mother-in-law, Kim Eckenrode (Steele's wife's maiden name is Kerry Eckenrode). There had been earlier reports that Alan Cooper had received "a text message" telling him to call Paul Godfread, which is how Cooper first found out about his name being used in these cases, leading to his filings claiming forgeries. Team Prenda had long implied that this magic "text" had come from the EFF, which Team Prenda has sought to paint as some crazy group of radicals. But, it turns out that the text message, now entered into evidence, came directly from Steele's own mother-in-law, telling Cooper he should call a lawyer.
Steele tried to play this off by arguing (1) his mother-in-law was religious and disapproved of Steele working with porn companies and (2) she frequented blogs like DieTrollDie and FightCopyrightTrolls. Still, it's quite a leap from those two points to recognizing that Cooper's signature may have been used on filings in various cases without his approval. The fact that the elder Eckenrode understood enough about what was going on to alert Cooper that it appeared her own son-in-law was up to no good with his name just adds an interesting element to all of this. I'm almost surprised Steele didn't claim that Eckenrode was a dues-paying member of EFF.
Either way, I can't imagine that's good for family gatherings in the near future.
Get to the damn point
As is frequently the case, Team Prenda seems to want to do everything possible to avoid actually zeroing in on what judges are asking. In this case, the hearing was solely about whether or not the copyright assignment was legit, and Hansmeier tried to put a bunch of totally irrelevant people on the stand to smear Cooper, and then tried to get Cooper to talk about totally unrelated issues as well. I'm not sure why Hansmeier, Steele and Duffy seem to think this "baffle them with bullshit" strategy will be effective, because the deeper you look, it just makes them look more and more like they're not being straight with the court -- and, while they may think they're smarter than everyone else, I have faith that more and more judges clearly understand what Team Prenda has been up to.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Easy Fare
This mission can be acquired by visiting Roman at the taxi office. When you go there, however, he's no where to be found. Only Mallorie and Vlad are there, and Vlad takes a disliking towards Niko and starts in with him. It's not long before Roman comes in and breaks up the tension a bit, but Vlad turns his ire on him instead of Niko (who, frankly, he appears to be a little afraid of). Roman owes Vlad money (what a surprise) but doesn't have it because he had to replace the computer the Albanians broke earlier. So, Vlad asks him and Niko (which really means just you) to do him some favors later on.
After Vlad leaves, the phone rings. It's one of Roman's regular customers, a guy named Jermaine. Jermaine lives up on Mohawk Avenue and needs a lift, and since Roman is preoccupied with something else, picking up Jermaine falls on you. Luckily, getting to him is rather easy, since all you have to do is head right out of the taxi office's garage, and then turn left on Mohawk Avenue. Take it up all the way to your destination, driving into the arrows outside of Jermaine's place. This will allow him to come out and get into the car. From there, he asks you to take him to Masterson Street.
Getting to Masterson Street is easy enough, since all you have to do is follow the GPS. But first, Jermaine wants to take a little detour to a storage depot where he left some belongings. Now here is a very, very important tip. As you near the entrance to the storage depot, you're going to want to back the car in. Don't go in there without doing so. This is because the cops have sprung a trap here, and as Jermaine realizes his storage unit has been opened, the cops swarm the area.

Steven Schlosser, executive director of Sheltered Reality, a drum group for all ages based out of West Liberty, has announced that the new Conrad practice site for central Iowa members is now up and running.
The new Conrad site has members from Conrad, Beaman, Tama and Eldora to date, and are eager to welcome more.
Primary site coordinator for the group will be Chuck Friend. Kelli Lair will serve as coordinator and lead instructor, Kris Scafferi as financial coordinator and Jason Scafferi as missions coordinator.
The group is seeking new members and plans to meet at the First Presbyterian Church in Conrad (100 S. Church Street).
Schlosser said that SR brings the message of using the "organized noise" of people of all ages drumming together to be a life-changing experience.
Sheltered Reality began 15 years ago when Schlosser decided to do a dissertation on using drums and music to change the world. It never was completed as the four member group has in 15 years grown to more than 300 members nationwide. There are currently more than 30 practice sites in 14 states, with members ranging in age from six to 78.
The group performs more than 400 shows nationwide each year, with members being able to play at the shows that they desire to attend. More than 110 drummers have just returned last week from last weekend's Sizzlin' Summer Drummer Bash 2 in Troy, Ill.
Currently lessons are held approximately every six weeks with Schlosser or assistant director Jordan Fratt teaching. Practices are held at the site level about every other week during the school year and as often as can be scheduled during the show season. Each site also participates in a mission project every month and is involved with fundraising throughout the year.
SR operates on the principle of six steps to success. They are: Take a chance, Never give up, Be willing to do whatever it takes, Believe in yourself, Be a friend and Do good.
Schlosser said that the steps to success have helped SR grow into a large family of caring individuals — pulling many out of the grips of a devastating life, while giving others the chance to fulfill their dreams.
SR has played many area shows including State Center, Grundy Center, Marshalltown, and Reinbeck. Theywereseen in the Iowa State Fair parade on Aug. 10, the Winding Stairs Festival in Traer on Aug. 13, and at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 14 at 12:30 p.m.
The group is available for community shows (fairs and festivals), school shows (motivational assemblies) and church shows (in which the step to success Believe in God is also added).
Information about the group and the number for booking is found on their website: www.sheltered_reality.org
The Conrad site is also in need of donations to help build its treasury. Donations of any size go a long way to help the organization and may be given Friend or to Kris Scafferi, or sent to Friend at Box 103 in Conrad. Please make all checks out to Sheltered Reality.
For more information on the Conrad site,or for questions about joining, contact coordinator Chuck Friend at 641-366-2585 (H) or 641-751-1395 - cell.

LONDON — Super heroes don't bow to fan pressure — that's according to screenwriter David S. Goyer, who is co-writing the new "Batman vs. Superman" movie.
He's currently working on the script for the upcoming comic book character showdown with director Zach Snyder.
Goyer says "if I try to think about 'well, what would the fans like ...?' then you stop being creative."
He worked on the "Dark Knight" trilogy and has the "Man of Steel" screenplay under his belt, so he's used to doing battle with popular opinion.
And "Batman vs. Superman" has already faced an online backlash after the casting of Ben Affleck as the caped crusader. Co-star Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Clark Kent from "Man of Steel."
"Batman vs. Superman" is set for a summer 2015 release.

Apple has announced that Bertrand Sertlet, Vice President of Mac Software Engineering, is leaving to pursue scientific interests.
"I've worked with Steve for 22 years and have had an incredible time developing products at both NeXT and Apple, but at this point, I want to focus less on products and more on science," said Bertrand Serlet, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. "Craig has done a great job managing the Mac OS team for the past two years, Lion is a great release and the transition should be seamless."
He'll be replaced by Craig Federighi, current VP of Mac Software Engineering. While this represents a change to the Mac group and not the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad group run by SVP of iOS Software Engineering, Scott Forstall, Apple has a history of bringing technology from Mac OS X to iOS X and vice versa. Also, since iOS and Cocoa Touch are based on Mac OS X and Cocoa, and Serlet played a pivotal roll in in the development of both, his contributions even to Apple's mobile efforts have no doubt been immense.
Everyone at TiPb wishes Serlet a successful future! Video memories after the break!

Etc, etc...I basically just have a tons of questions and would appreciate the help.

Where to Buy Extra Plates and Glasses Without Spending a Lot of Money
So. Your "small Thanksgiving dinner" has ballooned into a full-on friends-and-family affair, and you don't have enough plates or glasses for everyone. Before you make a beeline to the nearest drug store for paper supplies, stop! Spend just a little more and you can get real glasses and basic white plates that'll last you far beyond this dinner. Here are five places to buy cheap dishes at the last minute:
- 1 IKEA: We have to start here because it's so obvious. If you live near an IKEA, this is the best place to pick up cheap drinking glasses, plates, silverware, and wine goblets. Get five FÄRGRIK plates for $15, or you can pick up an 18-piece dinnerware set including dinner plates, salad bowls, and bowls for $35. And don't forget about glasses: a HEDERLIG wine glass is only $1.50 a glass, or get a 6-pack of the SVALKA wine glasses for $4.80. I also love the VÄNLIG water glasses, at only $4 for six of them.
- 2 World Market: If you're not near an IKEA, then World Market is a great online shop for budget dinnerware. Get a set of four Coupe dinner plates for $12.70 on sale right now (originally $15), or if clear glass is more your style, get a set of four Clear Moderno dinner plates for only $10. World Market also has glassware value sets available, like this Wine Glass Entertaining set or this Champagne Glass Entertaining set, both of which include 12 glasses for $20. (The box design is also nice, because you can store the glasses right there!) For water glasses, get a set or two of our favorite French Picardie 8-ounce glasses for $12 (one of the cheapest places I've found them online).
- 3 Crate & Barrel: Their offerings are a little pricier than the previously mentioned stores, but there are still deals to be had. This set of 6 boxed Zoom wine glasses will only set you back $10, as will these Zoom flutes.
- 4 Target: We can always find something we need at Target. They may not be fancy, but this 16-piece Corelle dinnerware set is a great deal at $30. This set of 8 stemless wine glasses includes both large and small sizes, and costs less than $15. Or upgrade just a little and get this 12-piece stemless set for $22.
- 5 Fishs Eddy: NYC-based Fishs Eddy has an open stock collection of basic dinnerware it supplies to restaurants and consumers. The basic 10.5" Carlton dinner plate sells for $3.95, but there's a wide collection of styles and sizes to choose from — all white! They also have great all-around basic glasses like this 15.5 ounce Lexington glass and this wine goblet, both for under $3.
Do you have a go-to source for affordable plates and glasses?
