| World's Strongest Man Competition |
This is Phil Pfister competing in the World's Strongest Man Competition here in Charleston, WV this week. I took some pictures today. I don't have time to post a lot of shots, but here's one of Phil throwing a keg over a very high bar. I'll put some more up tomorrow. It's pretty astonishing what these guys are able to do.

Only a few days after the BlackBerry Torch’sthe Street Insider. August 12 launch, Amazon has slashed the phone’s price in half from $199.99 with a two-year contract, down to $99.99. The news comes after a report from Goldman Sachs today that called the Torch’s launch “underwhelming”, according to 
In addition to its slow processor (it runs at 624-megahertz compared to current Android phones with 1-gigahertz speeds), the Torch also boasts a diminutive 3.2-inch display with a low 360 by 480 resolution. Its display is smaller than the iPhone 4’s 3.5-inch screen, and much lower than the 854 by 480 resolution that the Droid X and Droid 2 feature. The Torch was released the same day as the much more capable Droid 2 — which also sports a slide-out keyboard — so there was little reason for anyone, besides the BlackBerry-faithful, to anticipate it.
