The GNOME 2 Desktop Environment
The improvement in GNOME 2 that will most directly affect increasing free software's desktop market share is accessibility for people with disabilities. "The US government can now use open-source desktop solutions, which wasn't going to happen otherwise because of government regulations", says Pennington. He adds:
It also benefits normal users in a lot of ways. For instance, one of the accessibility requirements is full keyboard navigation [mentioned above]. You can do just about anything from the keyboard now. Also, themes have been enhanced because of accessibility regulations: color contrasts, default font size and so on.
With the accessibility barrier eliminated, Linux's target market has been expanded greatly, and options for all users have been improved in the process. Pennington says, "Sun Microsystems first brought accessibility to GNOME's attention. It was a huge project involving a couple years of work and about 20 developers. We're very excited about it and we're proud of what has been accomplished."
Besides the system configuration menus mentioned above, in the main menu there are several other menus for launching applications. A menu labeled Accessories includes a calculator, a dictionary and a simple text editor (gedit). Under the menu labeled Office, OpenOffice is included along with Dia for creating organizational charts and flowcharts, along with MrProject for project management. The Graphics menu provides links to The GIMP and a few other image manipulation programs. The Games menu includes many games, some of which utilize the GNOME libraries: a couple solitaire games, a few popular line-up-the-dots games, a GNOME version of Minefield, Mahjongg and several others. I can't list all of the applications installed by default, but as you can see, streamlining the GNOME menus did not short-change the user.
Probably the best application that makes use of the GNOME libraries is Ximian's e-mail client, Evolution. It was rated by Linux Journal in November 2002 as one of readers' favorite e-mail clients available for Linux. Evolution allows for multiple POP and IMAP accounts. It comes with e-mail filtering, spell checking and the ability to attach binary files. Although it works with standard POP and IMAP servers as is, with the addition of Ximian's proprietary Connector, users can connect to a Microsoft Exchange server for group address books and appointment planning—an important compatibility component.
One feature of Evolution that other e-mail programs don't have is virtual folders. "V-Folders allow the user more flexibility and ease of organizing e-mails—they're contextual views of your messages. That is something completely unique to Evolution", says Christine McLellan, senior product manager for Evolution. For example, in addition to a view of e-mail shown in the inbox in which messages can be sorted by date, subject or sender, a virtual folder is provided that shows only the unread messages. This virtual folder can make working through new messages quick and easy. Virtual folders also can be set up for messages with certain subjects or from certain people. A word of caution though, if you delete a message in a virtual folder, it's deleted from all folders at the same time.
The GNOME Foundation has made fabulous improvements to the desktop, and they have achieved much-needed consistency and stability with GNOME 2. "None of this would have happened without our developers, hundreds of which aren't paid by GNOME and are not sponsored by their employers", says Ney. At this point, the Foundation's plans are to release stable updates every six months, with the next one (v. 2.4) scheduled for June 2003. Version 2.4 will include a Nautilus drag-and-drop CD burner function and more improvements to fonts. With their commitment to scheduled improvements to the desktop, GNOME has become a desktop environment that can be relied on by businesses, users and developers.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Staff Reports
The Valdosta Daily Times
The VSU Lady Blazers (2-0) take the floor Saturday in a battle of undefeated teams as they host the 2-0 Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes.
The Lady Blazers defeated Webber International 75-44 on November 16. In that game, the Lady Blazers held Webber International to 25 percent shooting and won the rebounding battle 47-36.
It was a tale of two halves as the Lady Blazers made just seven of 32 shots and led 23-21 at halftime only to come alive in the second half, shooting 17-24 from the floor and outscoring the Lady Warriors 52-23.
Senior guard-forward Maylisa Johnson had a game-high 15 points and seven rebounds. Junior guard April Thomas was held scoreless on 0-7 shooting in the first half but came on in the second half, scoring 13 points.
During Wednesday's practice, head coach Kiley Hill spoke very highly of the level of size and athleticism his team will face against the Lady Hurricanes on Saturday.
"From position to position, they're more athletic than us across the board," Hill said. "They can take you off the bounce. They've got the kid [Jasmine] McSwain who was an all-conference player in the Peach Belt this past year as a freshman. They can board well, they're all 5'10", 5'11" across the board, so we may have some matchup problems with that."
The Lady Hurricanes, who last played on Nov. 16 as well, knocked off Northwood University (Fla.) 90-66.
Hill understands that while his team may be at an athletic disadvantage, the ability to play their own game will be vital.
"We've just got to figure out what our strengths will be and kind of play to those," Hill said. "There are a couple of weaknesses we've seen with them and hopefully we can attack those — create some mismatch opportunities for them and reduce those for us. That's our focus every time we play."
The Lady Blazers host Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes on Saturday at the P.E. Complex at 2 p.m.
Following the conclusion of the women's game, the Valdosta State men's team will look to move to 4-0 as they host the 5-0 Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls.
Following Sunday's win over Carver Bible, Blazers head coach Mike Helfer believes his team can be better than what they've shown.
"You can't have any mental lapses," Helfer said. "I feel like we went through a couple of games early on and had lapses where we wouldn't play well and you can't do that to beat a good team like Johnson C. Smith."
JCSU enters Saturday's matchup at 5-0 after defeating Virginia Union 65-59 on Wednesday night. Though the Golden Bulls are a non-conference opponent, Helfer stresses the importance of respecting JCSU and bringing the right disposition into Saturday's game.
"We've got to expect a very good basketball team," Helfer said. "They're [5-0], they've got road wins already — they're going to be good and we've got to expect that from the get-go. I think there are two very good programs playing each other [Saturday]."
During their three-game win streak, the Blazers have been dominant, outscoring their opponents by an average of 23.3 points per game.
Against JCSU, the emphasis for VSU will be tough defense and limiting turnovers.
The Golden Bulls shoot well from the field (49.8 percent) and excel at forcing turnovers, as opponents are turning it over 19.3 times per game.
"I think they're very good off the dribble and they've got good post guys that finish around the rim," Helfer explained. "JCSU does a good job with their press, and they put a lot of pressure on the ball so we have to take care of the ball and make easy passes."
Helfer acknowledges JCSU as a team that does a lot of things well and believes his team will need to play well in multiple areas to win.
"They don't have many weaknesses," Helfer said. "They're a very solid team so I'm not sure there's one particular area (to exploit). To beat a good team, you have to play well at every position in almost every category and if you don't, it's probably going to come back and bite you."
Saturday's game against JCSU will be the last home game for the Blazers before they hit the road for the first time this season.
"Whether you play at home or on the road, I don't think that really matters," Helfer said. "It's probably going to be close — both teams are going to play extremely hard. It's an early season matchup and it should be fun to watch."
Tip-off for Saturday's game is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the VSU P.E. Complex.

Time crunchApril 20,2014Discontent continues to simmer in the Legislature about the work underway by the Shumlin administration to develop a single-payer health care system by the year 2017. At his press conference last week Gov. Peter Shumlin rebuffed the idea pursued by some legislators for developing a Plan B to take effect if the single-payer proposal did not work out.
The idea that a Plan B might be necessary received a jolt of life several weeks ago when a Shumlin ally, Sen. John Campbell, mentioned that he thought it might be useful to develop an alternative in case single-payer falters. It was a surprising case of quaking knees by someone Shumlin might have expected would be in his corner.
Last month the House rejected a demand from Republicans, with the help of the Democratic member from Arlington, Cynthia Browning, that Shumlin produce a financing plan for the single-payer program. Shumlins response has been what it has been all along when the financing plan for Green Mountain Care is ready, he will be happy to make it public.
It is likely, however, that interest in some sort of Plan B will persist as long as details of the financing for Green Mountain Care remain undetermined or under wraps. There are several reasons.
All along Republicans have believed that Shumlin was playing politics with the details of his single-payer proposal, holding back on his announcement of a funding mechanism until after the past election, and then after the coming election, so as not to saddle Democrats with the need to defend a major tax increase.
In addition to the political suspicions aroused by the delay, doubts may grow about whether the administration is able to develop a workable plan. Creating a single entity with the revenue stream enabling it to cover the health care of a majority of Vermonters is an enormously complicated undertaking.
Especially complicated is the job of identifying a taxing mechanism that will be fair, workable and not overly burdensome. The longer the state delays in hammering together a proposal the greater will be the doubts about whether it is doable.
The fundamental change upon which the new system is to be based is easy to understand: Instead of paying exorbitant monthly premiums for health cave coverage through their employers, Vermonters would pay a new tax that, one assumes, would be less exorbitant. If it were easy to develop a plan to do that, the Green Mountain Care Board would have announced it a long time ago.
Doubters might suspect the Shumlin administration of waiting until the last minute before springing the new plan on voters and legislators, hoping to shrink the window of opportunity for debate and delay. But given the lessons learned from the rushed implementation of Vermont Health Connect, the states new health coverage website, it is unlikely that state officials believe that rushing single-payer would be a good idea.
Supporters of Plan B argue that the state ought to be ready with an alternative in case Shumlins proposal is found to be wanting. But that alternative already exists. It is Vermont Health Connect, the program put together under the auspices of the Affordable Care Act, which enrolled thousands of Vermonters through its new website, which was launched with creaking inefficiency last October. Since then the operation of the state website, like the national one, has improved, and it has helped extend and improve coverage to a whole range of Vermonters.
Shumlin is correct to remind legislators that they are on record in support of the development of a single-payer plan. Skeptics are justified in saying they need to be convinced. But as numerous supporters of single-payer health care made clear following Campbells expression of doubt, jumping off the boat midstream is not likely to prove helpful.
In fact, the Green Mountain Care Board has had the luxury of several years to work out the details of its plan, which is what the state lacked as it, and its contractors, rushed to put in place the problem-plagued Vermont Health Connect website. It would be foolish for the board to feel compelled to hurry a plan into existence when it still had time to work out as many potential problems as possible.
And yet the people of Vermont will still require sufficient time to debate the plan. And the Legislature will not want to rush its approval any more than Shumlin wants to rush the plans creation. Thus, Shumlin and his administration are facing a time crunch taking as much time as necessary to create a workable plan, while leaving enough time for the Legislature and the people to understand, consider and approve it with confidence.MORE IN PerspectiveIn the middle of fretting about my upcoming cataract surgery I am too young for this, I hope...

I was watching Giselle today was wondering hoe many dance teams have skated to it? It can be a nice choice for W/P
I was watching Giselle today was wondering hoe many dance teams have skated to it? It can be a nice choice for W/P
Recently I have worried about W&P doing a polka. I mean, they are so sophisticated, how can they go all rustic and pull it off?
I read that they are using The Sound of Music, and maybe The Lonely Goatherd. Say it isn't so! Andrew would never be a lonely goatherd. I hope they don't put him in lederhosen.
Will not relax until I see what they do at SA, and then maybe I will have to pull the covers over my head for the rest of the season.
JasperBoy , fear not ! Andrew is drawing on the character of the Captain ( military uniform ?)..and he's going for a manly , elegant polka...( I'm wiggling my eyebrows in your direction )
I think Kaitlyn said they're going for classy.. and it will be combined with the waltz ...( what is the waltz from Sound of Music ? )
Thanks, Accordion..yes, I guess it must be Edelweiss..
I spent so many years blotting out SoM because one of my sisters was addicted to it , that I was just drawing a blank.
found this in the "The Way They Were" thread (thanks vivika1982 for posting this!). A young Andrew towards the end of the video:
Andrew + Kaitlyn + Edelweiss sounds like a very good combination to me.
Thanks to everyone for putting my mind at ease. Excellent adaptation of the rules to fit the personalities. Andrew as the Captain is a brilliant idea. And Edelweiss is one of my favourites.
Ah yes, Edelweis, it was my dad's favorite. That combined with a Polka should be rather nice for them....can't wait to see it.
Addicted to FSU
it could be eidelweiss or that dance that maria and the captain did at the courtyard, or that first waltz in the grand ball scene. any of those options would be lovely, but of course the latter two are faster than eidelweiss. but then again, the movie sped up the tempo of the ball version of eidelweiss. would be very interesting combo!

New link from a DSC show:
During the drive home it also occurred to me the waltz portion of the polka might be from the courtyard scene, which is sexy as hell. What a handsome Maria and Captain these two make. I wonder how many Maria/Cpt's we'll be seeing this year?
I could not help but find it ironic that a skater who dressed in a glittery animal print skirt, and chose a much-discussed "post conjugal" off the shoulder strap look, and could go from apparently such genuine over-wrought emotion to clenched-fists of ecstatic victory in a split second, is suddenly so confidently describing what is "tacky" "classy" and "not over the top." It's not that I question whether they very well may present a very classy version of their programs. It just seems once again manipulative.

Oh, please... I find the use of "manipulative" highly ironic in the face of that attempt.

Watch All Six Moon Landings in One Video
- By Mark Micheli
- October 25, 2013
- Leave a comment
When people think of the Moon landings, usually Apollo 11 gets all the attention for being the first success (and Apollo 13 for being the first failure). But let's not forget that NASA made the trip to the moon six times between 1969 and 1972, with increasingly sophisticated equipment on each visit.
In all, Apollo 11 (July 20, 1969), Apollo 12 (Nov. 19, 1969), Apollo 14 (Feb. 5, 1971), Apollo 15 (July 30, 1971), Apollo 16 (April 21, 1972) and Apollo 17 (Dec. 11, 1972) all successfully made it to the lunar surface.
And now, for the first time, you can watch all six landings in one take. YouTube user "lunarmodule5" realigned the original landing videos to 45 degree angles to show you what the astronauts saw during descent. Be sure to listen to the audio to hear how excited the astronauts and mission control get during touchdown:

A private room on the second floor of T.J. Samson Community Hospital's west wing became one of several locations for a music video last week.
The video is for the song, "Lost Without You," which was written by Dave Harris with the radio program, "Retro Rewind," Adam Jensen with the Boston-based alternative rock band Mission Hill and Rob Thomas, with the rock band Matchbox Twenty.
Harris, a Glasgow native, suggested the local hospital as a possible location for the video when talking to the director of the video.
"I've always wanted to do something in my hometown. It was important to me to do something here at some point in my career," said Harris. "The big task was talking the Los Angeles-based director into coming to these 'neck of the woods.'"

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — For the 10th straight year, alumni of Niagara Catholic and Bishop Duffy high schools from 1970 to the 90s will gather to participate in the Dick Nolan Classic alumni hockey game, providing an opportunity for the group to pay tribute to former high school hockey coach Richard Nolan as well as an annual get-together of past alumni.
This year, the contest will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at Niagara University's Dwyer Arena.
The event is composed of a three 15-minute periods, followed by a 90-minute family skate. The feature game pits Team Newhouse against Team Mossette, named after former Bishop Duffy/Niagara Catholic science teacher Roger Newhouse and priest/teacher Robert Mossette.
Team Newhouse holds a slight edge in the history of the series, winning five of the nine contests. Both teams wear throwback red and white Bishop Duffy jerseys.
The alumni also use the game as an opportunity to honor past brethren. Last year's Classic was dedicated to the Memory of David Bruno, a 1980 alum who passed away in 2011.
Once the game is completed, the ice is cleared off and resurfaced for the family skate, which is followed by a reception held right in the arena.

When it comes to the biggest and possibly even best day of the boys basketball season, Tuesday just might be it.
There are 47 games on the schedule, which I believe is a season-high. And there are several big ones.
Which leads me to one question:
First of all, the Yale Cup games are eariler, so I should be able to catch at least part of one (maybe two if my pickup hoops game goes short and the first Yale Cup game goes long) before moving on to one of the above prime-time contests.
Grover Cleveland is at Burgard at 4:15 p.m. and East is at McKinley at 5:30. (Note: the Hutch-Tech vs. Middle College game has been moved to 5:30 p.m. today at Hutch-Tech.)
Among the games listed above, there are four major rematches from this year and an intriguing nonleague rematch from last year.
The biggest upset of the season, and one of the biggest of the decade (whether it is last decade or this one :-) ) was North Tonawanda's 64-62 overtime win at Niagara Falls, the first-ever Niagara Frontier League loss for the Wolverines. Falls' first-ever attempt to avenge an NFL loss gets started at 7 p.m.
St. Francis started making noise in the Monsignor Martin Association when it beat Bishop Timon-St. Jude at home, 56-54, on Jan. 20 to start a four-game win streak. The Tigers are coming off a top-notch victory at Canisius while Frannies has stumbled a bit with a loss at Nichols and a home loss to Canisius; tip-off in South Buffalo is 7:30 p.m.
The ECIC III battles between Maryvale and Depew have been outstanding for the last several years -- the Wildcats avenged their only loss of the season by winning at Amherst on Thursday. Back on Jan. 5, Depew won at Maryvale, 42-35. Tonight's battle is at 7:30.
The Niagara-Orleans League race likely rests on the 7 p.m. tipoff of Medina at Wilson. Medina won at home in the teams' first meeting, 62-53, on Jan. 15.
St. Joe's makes its first trip to Maple Grove for a 7:30 tip. Last year the Red Dragons lost at St. Joe's, 79-64. The Marauders are struggling while the Red Dragons and Chris Secky appear to be primed for that Class D playoff run that everyone has been talking about since last year. A very intriguing matchup here.
Other games on the fast-breaking Tuesday include Lockport at Grand Island in the NFL, Orchard Park at Lancaster in ECIC I, Cleveland Hill at Alden in ECIC IV and St. Mary's at Niagara Catholic in a Monsignor Martin small school battle.
* * *
Part of me wanted to let the voters literally decide where I end up, but due to logistics and some Web work I'll be taking care of with reporter/videographer Lauren Mariacher (stay tuned), I can not completely put my traveling fate in your hands. Not that I don't trust Prep Talk Nation, of course. For instance, the trip to Maple Grove would be great, but the travel time involved would wipe out any possibility of seeing some games beforehand and would also throw a wrench into some significant postgame Web plans we have.
I'd have to say I'm leading to Falls at NT considering the historical impact of the teams' first meeting this year. I thought after NT's home loss to Lockport last week that perhaps the game had lost all of its luster, but then Falls struggled to beat Kenmore West so we're kind of back where we started -- trying to make sense out of the NFL.
But vote early and often (:-) ), and, of course, let me know why in the comments section below. I certainly am looking forward to seeing what the people's choice is.

It gave a great view of the city and was located right by the river market area giving easy access to restaurants and bars. The room was amazing, a lot better than its competition in the area, it was spacious with a comfortable bed. The building is currently under some construction but it causes no issues for customers.
The only thing I would change about the rooms is the lighting inside the room was just ok. Unless you get the valet parking which costs $22 a night, then expect to have to walk quite a few blocks for parking during high traffic hours.

A federal bankruptcy judge on March 27 will consider approving the merger of American Airlines and US Airways.
Judge Sean Lane in New York on Thursday approved the hearing date. Lane has been handling the November 2011 bankruptcy case of Fort Worth-based American and its parent, AMR Corp.
AMR and US Airways Group Inc. last week announced they plan to merge in an $11 billion deal. The agreement to create the world's biggest airline also requires approval of U.S. antitrust regulators and shareholders. The companies expect to close the merger by the end of September.
Meanwhile, leaders of the pilot unions at both airlines met Thursday with US Airways executives, including CEO Doug Parker - who'll run the combined company. Both unions support the deal.

A Clinton County judge decided to suspend incarceration of a man who pleaded guilty to attempted burglary in the first degree.
"I just don't see this case meriting a 10-year prison sentence," Judge Mary Howes said. "I just don't see any real benefit for sending him up there."
Nicholas Fox, 32, was sentenced Thursday morning. Howes agreed with Defense Attorney Bruce Ingham and ordered that the up to 10 years in the Iowa Department of Corrections be suspended. He will instead complete probation at the Residential Corrections Facility in the Quad- Cities.
According to court documents, Clinton police were dispatched at 9:24 p.m. June 26 to 850 First Ave., apartment 26, for an assault. The victim informed the police that he had a phone conversation with Fox, advising him not to call again, or he would notify the police about warrants Fox had, according to the affidavit. The victim added that Fox said he would come to his apartment and hurt him.
Fox arrived at the victim's apartment and pounded on the door, walking in without an invitation, according to court documents. Fox began hitting the victim repeatedly and bit him, according to the affidavit. The affidavit continues that two witnesses from outside of the apartment entered the apartment after Fox and pulled him off of the victim. Fox took off running away from the apartment complex.
Fox was later arrested for burglary in the first degree. On Nov. 30, he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of attempted burglary in the first degree.
During the Thursday morning sentencing, Clinton County Attorney Mike Wolf asked that Howes honor the pre-sentencing investigation's recommendation of incarceration. Wolf stated that Fox has substance abuse issues that need to be addressed. He felt that incarceration would be the best option for Fox to address his issues.
"Mostly what Mr. Fox has is a serious substance abuse issue," Ingham said.
Ingham pointed out that Fox does not have any prior felonies and has never be incarcerated before. He added that all of his previous charges were minor. Ingham pointed out that Fox has been able to reflect on his situation while serving 117 days in the Clinton County jail.
"I promised my kids I would change and I just want a chance to get some rehab," Fox said in court.
Fox was visibly upset as he asked for a suspended sentence. He told Howes that he has three children and pays child support. He added that he does his best to be a good dad, but the past two years were difficult and he had serious substance abuse issues.
Howes said she sees some hope for Fox. He will remain in jail until he can be screened for RCF treatment and a bed opens up. She told Fox that he needs to work to stay on the straight and narrow from now on.
"I won't let you down, I promise," Fox said.

Week 14 NFL Game Recaps
Steelers 14, Browns 3
Apparently not. Roethlisberger shocked everyone by warming up and then taking all the snaps after intermission. However, he couldn't move around at all. He had to throw flat-footed, and just handing the ball off was a chore. It's a shame because Big Ben appeared as though he was going to have one of his all-time best performances; he was 8-of-9 for 108 yards and a score prior to getting hurt.
Roethlisberger finished 16-of-21 for 280 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, which is amazing considering he couldn't move because of his high ankle sprain. The pick was ugly and happened to be the result of his injury. His second score, for 79 yards, was all Antonio Brown (5-151, TD), who broke free of coverage and made a couple of great jukes before running into the end zone.
- Hines Ward fumbled in the red zone in the second quarter.
- Heath Miller fumbled at the 5-yard line in the second quarter.
- Brown dropped a first-down reception on a third down at Cleveland's 20 in the third quarter, which drew the ire of a hobbled Big Ben.
- After a Mike Wallace (4-57) touchdown was overturned by replay, the Steelers had first-and-goal at the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, but failed to score after predictably running up the middle with Rashard Mendenhall (18-76) four times.
- Guard Chris Kemoeatu had three penalties that brought back big gains in Cleveland territory. But the Steelers were just happy that he was in the lineup; center Maurkice Pouncey also had to leave the game with an ankle malady.
However, things just worsened for McCoy after that; he finished 18-of-35 for 209 yards and two interceptions, with a third pick overturned by review because it barely hit the ground. He suffered through several drops, including one from Greg Little (2-25) that occurred beyond the chains on a third down in the fourth quarter, but many more of his passes were really inaccurate.
Ravens 24, Colts 10
Unlike the Patriots, the Ravens didn't decide to leave receivers wide open. They wanted to keep the Colts out of the end zone at all cost. In fact, the crowd was going nuts when their defense made a red-zone stand in the middle of the fourth quarter.
Texans 20, Bengals 19
Yates benefited from a pass interference penalty by Pac Man Jones, but what he did in the final 2-and-a-half minutes capped off a brilliant game. He finished 26-of-44 for 300 yards, two touchdowns and an interception to along with 36 rushing yards on five scrambles (including a 17-yard gain on the final drive). The pick was a poor overthrow, but you can also go the other way and point out that Yates should have had a deep completion on the opening drive that was dropped by Jacoby Jones.
Another argument is that the Texans probably shouldn't have needed that final possession. Ben Tate fumbled on first-and-goal on the Cincinnati 1-yard line, and the Texans dropped a potential pick-six from Andy Dalton in the first quarter. Houston actually outgained Cincinnati, 412-285.
Jets 37, Chiefs 10
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
I watched an NFL Network show last night detailing a, what else, top-10 list. This one was for southpaw quarterbacks. Suffice it to say Tyler Palko does not have a future spot. Let's just highlight his play on third down, when the offense needed him most. The first nine times on the money down, he threw complete short of the chains four times, was sacked three times, one intercepted and one incompletion, all for obviously no conversions. Palko finally converted with a pass to Dwayne Bowe on the final play of the third quarter with his team behind 35-3.
It was an ugly start for the Jets though. They came out for their first play with 10 men, which is not something you see very often. In fact, announcer Dan Fouts has never seen it, and I believe him. After having to burn a timeout, at least, they got the right play called because Shonn Greene (24-129, TD) knifed right up the middle for 31 yards, kick-starting the opening drive. The march covered 77 yards on 11 plays and chewed 6:14 off the clock. Mark Sanchez hit consecutive throws to tight end Dustin Keller for 18 yards, then had a naked bootleg for the touchdown on a well-executed play to take a 7-0 lead.
As illustrated above, the Chiefs were unable to do anything on offense, so they were at their opponent's mercy. After a quick exchange of punts, however, a three-and-out did result in a 53-yard field goal by Ryan Succop to pull to 7-3 thanks to nice field position from a Javier Arenas punt return.
Ironically, the play that got New York in charge also hurt them. Jets safety Jim Leonhard snagged an interception in plus territory, but injured his knee and is reportedly done for the season. Perhaps it is a case of d�j� vu, since he went down late in 2010, yet the team still rallied to make the AFC Championship Game. New York is going to miss his presence down the stretch, but the turnover led to a quick score. Greene caught a pass and took it 36 yards. After a loss by LaDainian Tomlinson, Sanchez threw to Santonio Holmes for a touchdown and the 14-3 advantage.
Then the Jets relaxed and started to really impose their will. Tomlinson and Greene were given three carries each on the next drive with Greene capping the 69-yard touchdown march for a commanding 21-3 lead. The very next drive started at the Kansas City 35 because of a great punt return (26 yards) from rookie wide receiver Jeremy Kerley, who had to return punts in Leonhard's absence. Tomlinson had one of the receiving touchdowns, which was reminiscent of his prime with the Chargers, taking it 19 yards to the end zone, making it 28-3 at the half.
There wasn't anything the Chiefs could do after the break, facing a huge deficit. They at least logged a bit of yardage to avoid the poor field position that plagued them in the second quarter, but the Jets went 90 yards for a touchdown to really ice the game. The big plays in that march were all Kansas City penalties. The Chiefs were flagged 5 times for an astounding 81 yards and Sanchez capped the "drive" with a 3-yard run, and at 35-3, the rout was on.
After an exchange of punts, Kansas City's offense finally got something as the game entered the fourth quarter. Palko (16-for-32 195 yards, TD, INT) connected with Steve Breaston and Dwayne Bowe along the way, finishing with a 24-yard score to Jerheme Urban. The scoring was wrapped up when Jackie Battle (10-33) was caught for a safety, making it a 37-10 final.
This game was a great illustration of what happens when a struggling offense can't move the ball and the opposing offense takes advantage of field position by cashing in touchdowns. In all, New York mustered up just 314 yards to 221 for the Chiefs, but the outcome was never in doubt. All the Jets had to do was run the ball and keep Sanchez (13-of-21 for 181 yards, 2 TDs) protected from the killer turnover. This is their recipe for success, and running the ball twice as much (42-159) as throwing it makes sense as long as their defense plays like this.
Lions 34, Vikings 28
There was an unbelievable sequence on the final drive. Down 34-28, Joe Webb was orchestrating an impressive possession, moving his team inside the Detroit 3-yard line. The clock was running down, however, and it looked like the Vikings weren't going to have enough time to do anything. Lions defensive end Cliff Avril took this opportunity to inexplicably jump offsides before Webb could spike the ball, setting up Minnesota at the 1-yard line.
The Vikings wouldn't score. Webb fumbled the ball, which was kicked a few times before Detroit mercifully fell on it instead of running it back to cover the spread. The thing is, Minnesota should have had another shot at the 1-yard line; the fumble occurred because Webb was grabbed by the face mask. Unfortunately for the Vikings - or fortunately, because of their draft position - the officials missed the obvious call.
Webb, meanwhile, went 12-of-23 for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also had 109 rushing yards, including a 65-yard scoring scamper. Webb showed promise at the end of last season, so Minnesota's decision to spend such a high draft selection on Ponder seems a bit curious right now. I'm not saying Ponder will be a bust or anything, but Webb should have been given a chance, especially with blue-chip quarterbacks like Andrew Luck, Matt Barkley and Robert Griffin presumably available in the 2012 NFL Draft
Saints 22, Titans 17
Eagles 26, Dolphins 10
That seemed to be the case early on. QB Dog Killer tossed a near interception and was getting sacked on every possession by Jason Taylor; the Eagles had a blocked punt go against them; and Matt Moore threw a beautiful touch pass to Brandon Marshall (4-27, TD) to give the Dolphins a 7-0 lead.
And then all hell broke loose. Or rather, things reverted to what people expected back in September.
The Dolphins spent the rest of the first half turning the ball over. They had as many give-aways (3) as first downs. The Eagles, meanwhile, had 13 first downs, as QBDK hooked up on multiple long gains to DeSean Jackson (4-59, TD) and LeSean McCoy.
Part of the reason Moore had been so good in recent weeks was that his pass protection improved. That was far from the case today, as Miami's front surrendered a whopping nine sacks.
Patriots 34, Redskins 27
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
The Redskins answered with wide receiver Donte' Stallworth beating cornerback Devin McCourty for a 51-yard reception on a go route downfield. It was a great thrown from Grossman to drop the ball in to Stallworth and set up a field goal.
New England tight end Ron Gronkowksi made an amazing 50-yard reception where he broke about five tackles to get downfield. It set up a touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Gronkowski, writing new a record for touchdowns from a tight end in a season. It was the start to a massive game from Gronkowski.
Washington answered with some good runs from Roy Helu and a touchdown strike from Grossman to Jabar Gaffney. Down 14-10, the Redskins pulled off a gadget play. On a reverse to wide receiver Brandon Banks, Santana Moss broke open running downfield. Banks launched a ball up and it fell into Moss for a 49-yard touchdown. New England then got two field goals, but Washington followed that by kicking one to make it 20-20 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Brady and Gronkowski hooked up for a beautiful touchdown. After a big pressure, Brady lofted the ball over Gronkowski's shoulder. He caught the ball just past the line of scrimmage and shed a tackle from Ryan Kerrigan to break down the field for a 37-yard touchdown.
The Redskins tied it up with a quality drive by Grossman and Helu. It ended in a six-yard touchdown pass to David Anderson. The Patriots got the game-winning score on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Wes Welker. In the fourth quarter, each defense gave up more yards but caused timely turnovers to keep the offenses from scoring points. A touchdown pass from Grossman to Moss was called back on a push-off penalty by Moss. The veteran coughed up a pass that was intercepted by Jerod Mayo to seal the Patriots' win.
Brady finished the game 22-of-37 for 357 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. The interception by Josh Wilson came in the end zone and led to a huge shouting match on the sideline between Brady and coach Bill O'Brien. Welker (7-86) and Gronkowski (6-160) were too much for Washington's secondary to contain.
Grossman was 19-of-32 for 252 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Helu (27-126), Stallworth (4-96), Moss (3-81) and Gaffney (6-92) all had good games against the New England defense. The Redskins' offensive line did well in run blocking, but their pass blocking needs to improve. Carter had another good game for New England.
The Patriots' defense has to up their game down the stretch, or the team could make a quick postseason exit. The secondary stinks. When New England faces better teams in the playoffs, they could get killed through the air. If the Redskins' offense can roll up yards (463) and points, then the Patriots have to worry about taking on a balanced team like the Steelers, or if they somehow make it to the Super Bowl, a team like the Packers or the Saints.
Falcons 31, Panthers 23
I'm glad I didn't bet seven units on the Panthers! It's hard to believe that Carolina stopped scoring after its early offensive explosion. Cam Newton tossed two ugly interceptions after the break, allowing the Falcons to make their comeback and cover the three-point spread.
The complete 180 (or "360," as Emmitt would say) was remarkable. Carolina outgained Atlanta in the first half, 245-117, while the Falcons had the yardage edge after the break, 277-171.
Jones would make up for it though with a pair of touchdowns (17, 75 yards) that gave the Falcons the lead and cover in the fourth quarter. The Falcon rookie receiver made three receptions in total for 104 yards and those scores. Roddy White (84 yards, TD) and Tony Gonzalez (7-82) both hauled in seven grabs.
Jaguars 41, Buccaneers 14
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Finally, Gabbert made a play in the second quarter. Mercedes Lewis burned safety Sean Jones downfield for a 62-yard pass. Lewis' big catch set up a short touchdown run from Maurice Jones-Drew.
After the score, a holding penalty on Parker pushed Tampa Bay back to its own 11-yard line. Jacksonville defensive end Jeremy Mincy and outside linebacker Daryl Smith put on a great tandem rush that produced a sack-fumble at the goal line. Defensive tackle Nate Collins recovered the fumble in the end zone to give the Jaguars a 21-14 lead. Mincy had a phenomenal game against Buccaneer left tackle Donald Penn.
With a minute remaining before halftime, Freeman threw a terrible interception to former Tampa Bay cornerback Ashton Youboty. That set up a short touchdown pass from Gabbert to Jones-Drew with only a few ticks left until the half.
In the third quarter, Freeman had a pass deflected off a defensive lineman's helmet and it was intercepted by Paul Posluszny. Gabbert made a couple good plays, but then blew an opportunity to break the game open by throwing a stupid interception in triple coverage in the end zone to linebacker Mason Foster. The Buccaneers gave it right back. An amazing run by Blount ended with him fumbling the ball away.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars put a good drive together and Gabbert capped it with another touchdown pass to Jones-Drew. Later on, Jones-Drew scored his fourth all-purpose touchdown of the afternoon with a short run. He rushed for 85 yards on 27 carries and caught six passes for 51 yards and the four scores.
Gabbert had the best game of his rookie season, completing 19-of-33 for 217 yards with two scores and two interceptions. The Jacksonville defense played excellent football for the final three quarters, totaling five turnovers, and the Jaguars' special teams caused two turnovers for a total of seven takeaways.
Tampa Bay had a meltdown performance, making one of the worst quarterbacks and worst offenses in the NFL look good. The Buccaneers have lost back-to-back games in convincing fashion to three-win teams. Tampa Bay's seven-game losing streak is proof they lack the talent to compete on a weekly basis. They entered Sunday having spent more time playing from behind than any team in the NFL, and their defense struggles to stop anyone. It looks like Tampa Bay is making a run at a top-five pick.
Cardinals 21, 49ers 19
So, what happened? Kolb suffered a head injury on the opening drive. I thought Skelton would cost his team the game again, and that seemed to be the case when the Cardinals were able to muster just two first downs in the opening half.
Well, apparently not. Skelton was solid in relief. He made a couple of bad decisions on a pair of interceptions, but was good otherwise, going 19-of-28 for 282 yards, three touchdowns and the picks. He also showed great mobility, picking up 25 yards on six scrambles.
Skelton's second interception was actually challenged by Whisenhunt even though it was painfully obvious that the play wasn't going to be overturned. Whisenhunt should probably be stripped of his red flags because he tried to have yet another clear call reviewed earlier. It was actually a good challenge, but only by accident. The red flag disrupted a San Francisco fake punt that caught Arizona unawares, but the 49ers weren't docked a challenge because the replay equipment malfunctioned for some strange reason.
Broncos 13, Bears 10
Well, God couldn't, but Marion Barber could. Matt Forte's replacement idiotically ran out of bounds, giving Tebow 40 more seconds to work with. That was all the time he needed. Tebow drove his team down the field and set up Matt Prater with a game-tying 59-yard field goal with just a couple of seconds remaining on the clock.
And if that wasn't enough, Chicago somehow found itself in field goal position in overtime. Barber, of course, coughed it up again. Minutes later, Prater drilled yet another 50-yarder for the win.
Tebow's numbers through three quarters were ugly (3-of-16, 45 yards, INT), but he was really hurt by half-a-dozen drops, including one by Demaryius Thomas (7-78, TD) that would have been a 60-yard touchdown had the ball not gone right through his hands. Eric Decker (3-33) also had a pair of drops that would have went for double-digit gains.
Packers 46, Raiders 16
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
Aaron Rodgers had a poor showing, relatively speaking, on the stat sheet (17-of-30 for 281 yards, 2 TDs, INT) and had a QB rating below triple digits for the first time in a long time. However, he was on fire when it came to drawing the defense offsides, which slowed down the pass rush. Rodgers did it on the opening play, and the first official play from scrimmage was a 47-yard touchdown romp by Ryan Grant (10-85, 2 TDs). The Packers had a brilliant game plan and were smart enough to take advantage of a porous run defense by utilizing Grant, who is finally healthy.
After Green Bay forced a punt, Rodgers quickly showed why he is the MVP of the league, directing a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive and distributing the ball to five different receivers. The touchdown went to rookie tight end Ryan Taylor who had not caught a pass yet entering today's action. I'm pretty sure while preparing for this game, Oakland's defense was more concerned about stopping any number of other weapons, and quite frankly, they did not let any one particular player hurt them. However, the problem remains that even with no player catching more than four passes and only Jordy Nelson (81 yards) and Donald Driver (75 yards) exceeding 50 yards receiving, all Rodgers does is find the open man and move the ball down the field.
It was really a "rinse-and-repeat" situation for the next several drives. The Raiders went nowhere and the Packers kept scoring. First, Green Bay settled for a field goal on a drive wrecked by penalties to make it 17-0 early in the second quarter. Then they took what they wanted on a quick 84-yard drive covering just six plays. Two passes went to Driver for 28 yards, and the bookend completions were to Nelson who got loose down the sideline for a 37-yard score to start the bloodbath.
Well, the rout was really on when Oakland's next drive ended early on a Charles Woodson interception in a clear case of Heisman-Trophy-winner-on-Heisman-Trophy-winner abuse. The Packers took advantage of a long penalty to set up first-and-goal from the 6, and Grant ran it in for a commanding 24-0 advantage. The first stop of the day for the Raiders came when Mike Mitchell took the ball away from Jermichael Finley in the end zone for an interception. The shutout was almost broken up, but after going 66 yards, Palmer connected with Rob Francois on another interception.
The second half was just a matter of Green Bay holding on and staying healthy. The drives that mostly ended in touchdowns earlier in the afternoon were limited to field goals in the third quarter, but the points made sure the game stayed well in hand, allowing them to rest Rodgers for the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Oakland finally got on the board on its first possession of the second half via a very effective 80-yard march with all nine plays going for positive yardage highlighted by a 34-yard pass to Heyward-Bey (5-78). Michael Bush (23-78, TD) finished the drive with a two-yard scoring run.
Even though the Packers' offense was less potent, the defense picked up the slack, scoring when Marcel "Matchup Nightmare" Reece fumbled and Erik Walden housed the recovery to make it 43-7 entering the fourth quarter. Matt Flynn mopped up, and it was a good thing because he was nailed for a safety, and keeping Rodgers healthy is obviously a priority as this team marches towards history. The Raiders took the ensuing possession down the field for another garbage touchdown with Palmer (24-of-42 245 yards 1 TD 4 INT) hitting Kevin Boss for the five-yard score and 46-16 final.
Along the way, Oakland got to relive the "tuck" rule when Rodgers appeared to fumble and Kamerion Wimbley returned it for a touchdown. Well not really, because a clip would have negated it anyway. However, the fumble was ruled an incomplete pass because Rodgers was tucking the ball back in. I'm sure Woodson, who forced that now infamous non-fumble when he was with the Raiders, had to be chuckling when the referee uttered the word "tuck" after returning from the replay booth to overturn the call.
Also of note, Rodgers had a little extra motivation for this one dating back to his college days. He is still bitter about his California Bears being stiffed for a Rose Bowl berth in favor of the Texas Longhorns. Current Raider Michael Huff wore the burnt orange for the team that benefitted from that gross BCS injustice, and it must have been fun for Rodgers to run up the score here even if there were no voters to impress.
All of this fluff ties in actually. Woodson and Huff were both first-round Oakland draft picks. They do love to take defensive backs early don't they? Another, Fabian Washington, was the player they took instead of Rodgers in 2005. The funny thing is, he didn't technically fall to him that season. They actually traded up to No. 23, at which time I called my brother, a California alum, to gloat about my Raiders finally getting a franchise quarterback out of the draft. Instead the choice was Washington and, of course, one pick later, the Packers took Rodgers. Two rounds later, the Raiders did land Andrew Walter, who was naturally awesome, and is now out of the league.
Chargers 37, Bills 10
Ryan Fitzpatrick received a big contract about two months ago, but it should be no surprise if the Bills part ways with him this offseason. I don't think it'll happen, but it shouldn't shock anyone at this point because he's been so dreadful.
Fitzpatrick went 13-of-34 for 176 yards and two interceptions. His first pick was a joke. He panicked in the pocket and fired a ball right at the back of a Charger defender. It then ricocheted into the arms of Eric Weddle.
Giants 37, Cowboys 34
At least Jason Garrett wasn't the one to freeze his kicker this time. It was Tom Coughlin, who called for a timeout milliseconds before the ball was snapped and Bailey drilled a 47-yard game-tying field goal. On the next attempt, second-year end Jason Pierre-Paul blocked the kick to seal the victory for the Giants. Pierre-Paul had eight tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and the block. As Cris Collinsworth opined, Pierre-Paul needs to be in the Pro Bowl. Unfortunately, he wasn't on the ballot the last time I checked.

A different type of co operative is a manufacturer's co operative. The many well-known manufacturer's co operative is Blue MixorBlue Protect, where hospitals and physicians have created not-for-profit insurance QuotesChimp which market medical insurance to the general public. The actual strength in these types of companies lies together with the venders healthcare, euphemistically identified in the industry as &number3 4;suppliers.&number3 4; The coordinators command the managing of the co operative. Unlike mutuals or mutual deals, no ownership rights are obtained by policyholders.

It occasionally actually inquires, when an incident is investigated by an insurance QuotesChimp. Frequently, including critiquing your previous health-related records and also additional useful content. Perhaps you are requested to signal mandates for the business to get such owner's manual, that you should do unless you might have legitimate reasons for refusing the petition (like being requested to reveal personal info which doesn't have anything regarding your state).

Unfortunately, QuotesChimp can't look to state governments, who are supposed to regulate insurance sellers and educate consumers and who, in the words of the Conference of [state] Insurance Reg�ulators themselves, are "underfunded, understaffed, and under-equipped." Nor can you rely on the media, which, with a few notable exceptions, has found the "insurance beat" too myste�rious. Even a business editor at the Washington Post confessed a few years ago that "nobody around here understands insurance." Well, here is a secret unlocked: Insurance is purposely made mysterious to exclude you from any role other than to sign the check.

Which form of broker is way better for QuotesChimp? That can rely on the conditions of every individual trade. Unique brokers can frequently surpass the price tag on independents as a result of lower marketing prices and also additional variables, such as for instance distinct underwriting techniques (notice site 53). Simply because they promote solely one-line of products unique brokers might likewise have top-notch merchandise information. Around the negative, the unique broker might be more prone to the desire of the corporation for better efficiency (more revenue). As in the military, terrible information streams down, along with the end result might be high pressure salesmanship planned in your directionwith the focus perhaps not on satisfying your insurance requirements but on satisfying the broker's revenue allowance.

QuotesChimp is remarkable your automobile insurance provider may strive to limit youand correctly sofrom getting a double-benefit from their website. Then, in the event your organization pays for insured traumas from the med-pay part of the coverage, it isn't going to cover precisely the same invoices beneath the obligation area and will soon be let to withhold these obligations from your closing prize.

It really is occasionally called & #3 4; the automobile & #3 4;amassing, when the insurance QuotesChimp opts never to fix your automobile except to pay for its worth to you. When the firm totals your vehicle, you get exactly what the automobile is  4;worth 4; in the available marketeven if (as-is frequently true) this sum of money is significantly less than it costs to truly change the automobile.

In today's society, every penny counts when creating and maintaining a monthly budget. For many QuotesChimp, there is little room left for anything extra, and budgeting for the various types of personal insurance necessary to protect your family's financial well-being can pose a significant challenge. The cost of insurance premiums can take a large bite out of any family's budget, creating additional strain on already tight finances.

Insurance can be a very impersonal business. Quotes Chimp almost has to be, considering the number of people insurance companies deal with and their extreme reliance on statistics when making business decisions.

Submit to examinations. If Quotes Chimp are injured, you have the ob�ligation to allow your insurance company to have you examined by a physician of its choosing. You may also be required to submit to an oral examination under oath regarding the facts of the case, called a deposition.

When an insurance Quotes Chimp investigates a case, it sometimes really investigates. Often, this includes reviewing your past med�ical records and other relevant material. You may be asked to sign authorizations for the company to obtain such documen�tation, which you must do unless you have valid grounds for denying the request (such as being asked to divulge personal information that has nothing to do with your claim).

Materials misrepresentations in the application form can be reasons for the insurance QuotesChimp to be treated from its responsibilities under the insurance policy. Therefore be fair, also when representative indicates you fudge in the facts, which some percentage-starving brokers occasionally do. The gains that you save yourself might be your own personal.

I'd like to hear some of the old, dark screamy and deep sounds, with at some songs a little taste of the more acoustic Minutes to Midnight
Definitely more styles like on hybrid theory and meteora!!
I am unsure right now. Linkin Park has indeed made incredible songs! It's hard to say. They're music's so good!
You guys should go back to the roots and blend Hybrid Theory and Meteora styles together!!!!
I think I would like to hear something new, but still a "Linkin Park sound". You know...something that will make you say that it sounds like LP, but there is something different - new.
I LOVE Hybrid Theory A LOT, but I don't think they will go back to that sound. I've heard the LPU 12 tracks and as we all know, most of the tracks in LPU CDs are being developed and improved, and sometimes will be included in their coming albums. I think they are going back a bit to making really loud music, ya know rock/metal.But there might be a lot of techno - maybe to catch up with this generation? coz today we rely so much with modern techs even in making music. However, I believe that LP will always stick to the traditional way. Like they'll still use real instruments in the making.Coz that's what they are- they are LINKIN PARK. They link different genres, make them sound good all together and put them in one track.
I think, I'm more excited to see how they'll make the next album, ya know, the making. Coz the most important is the journey, not the end product. I know that it's more important for the guys, too. So...yeah I'll stay tune in LPTV A LOT MORE =)
I really want linkin park to go back to it's roots. Like hybrid theory and meteora, even they EP album, hybrid theory. It's probably because the lyrics were so true and you an relate to it. The sounds were so great and amazing. I miss mike's rapping or Chester's screams. They were the musical icons during the early 2000s. Spiked up hair, long shirts, baggy pants. I understand if they dress like that anymore, but at least bring back the old style linkin park. New divide is a pretty good modern linkin park song. I realized that linkin park had a lot more rock/metal to their songs. I wish they would bring that back, even the whole fans want that back.
I love the way they're going <3 I want hear what I'm hearing <3
More instruments definitely :) Maybe Mike could add in some rock organs like a hammond. I saw one in the studio during the making of ATS documentary, but I dont think it was used. Maybe a cover or two?

Springfield, Mass. - September 23, 2013 - The Springfield College men's tennis team suffered a 9-0 setback to Nichols College in non-conference play on Monday afternoon at Appleton Courts.
In doubles play, the Pride's best showing came from the No. 3 doubles team of Cody Rodrigues (Westfield, Mass.) and Josh Robinson (Southold, N.Y.), who fell 8-5.
The top three singles players for Springfield all fell by similar scores, with Tanner DeVarennes (Lee, Mass.) dropped a 6-4, 6-3 decision at No. 1, while Joe Giannelli (Watertown, Conn.) and Justin Danielewicz (Portland, Conn.) each lost 6-3, 6-4 at No. 2 and No.3, respectively.
The Pride will play again on Tuesday when it hosts Endicott at 4:00 pm.

With the Los Angeles mayoral primary a week away, an aggressive mail campaign by Jan Perry has helped push her into a three-way fight with Wendy Greuel and Eric Garcetti for two spots in a May runoff.
From the start, Garcetti and Greuel have seen each other as the chief competition. But Perry's steady attacks via mailers — she lacked the money to advertise heavily on TV — have made her, at the very least, a credible threat to Greuel, the city controller.

Thread: LED Daytime Running Lights
LED Daytime Running Lights
Anybody have these led running lights?
Im interested but would love to hear about them if anyone has them. My main concern is that they won't be easily visible in the daytime.
ThanksMichael, 17, CA
2005 Silverado - See my garage for my mod list
Yeah I bought a set right before I sold my truck, they are still in the box and I never got a chance to put them in yet. I bought mine from Stylin Concepts, they are the Putco Pure 360 white bulbs. I am now going to use them in my S-10 for the DRL, so I will post them once I get them in the truck.
Just a little hint for you, the 4114L bulb is a 3157 but it's renamed because it's a long life bulb. I was running 3157 in the DRL in my last two trucks and never had a problem with them, you can run whatever color you want and it will be fine. The 3157 is a lower wattage by 4 watts/volts, so it's up to you as far as that goes. I noticed at the bottom of that post they said you can't use them in your flashers, you can use the 3157 LED but you have to use load resistors in line.
I guarantee if you google DRL bulb, you will come across a ton of people that are running 3157 in place of the 4114L. I found out by talking to the guy from Putco, and he said they have been running them like that for years.2004 Chevy Colorado
LS1 5.7 swap/TBSS rear axle swap
so would you think the bulbs from my first post are better than these more circular type bulbs?
and if I wanted to do my running lights and turn signals i would just buy two pairs of the 3157's and load resistors for the turn signals?
Honestly they look identical to the one's I bought for half the price, mine were $65.00 out the door which is a ton of money I know. I have never actually seen 4114 LED bulbs before, and I have looked everywhere! I am thinking that seller is putting a heading of 4114 on them, and in reality they are the 3157 bulbs. The setup you mentioned is what I was going to do, I just haven't ordered the amber 360 bulbs yet. I bought the load resistors already, they make two seperate kinds. Ceramic and aluminum, I asked the guy at Radio Shack and he told me the ceramic are ideal for LED's so that's what I went with. They were only $1.99 each, but as long as you have the load resistors and the new LED bulbs are LOWER wattage rating than the old bulbs you will be fine. I will see if I can find the pictures I found of them actually in a Silverado, be right back!
Here's a link to the Putco one's, you can see how bright they are!
so do only flashing lights require load resistors? if all the other non-flashing bulbs are a direct plug and play i might slowly convert my whole truck over to led's
That is correct sir, if it is a stationary bulb the you don't need a load resistor. If it's a flasher or something that changes, then you need a load resistor in that instance. I finally found that thread for you, there are some awesome before and after and side by side pictures in this link. Check them out, oh and I forgot you can also put those 3157 LED bulbs in your tail lights for a really nice reverse light. I am slowly converting my trucks to LED but it's expensive, I wouldn't hesitate to say it would cost between $300-$400 if not more and that's the interior lights too.
That other thread had some good pictures. Those are actually the same bulbs from the first ebay auction i posted. I'm definetly ordering a pair of these.
Thanks a ton!!

That was the guy that helped me out, and he educated me on the whole situation as well. Those are the same bulbs as you found too, I think they are the same thing I bought for a lot cheaper price. I am always glad to help out, I will post mine once I get my current project done. They will look sweet on your truck too!
I'm actually thinking about going with the white ones for my turn signals too. i'm not sure though i'll have to think about it. I currently have white incandescents in my turn signals and I like the way they look. Although the white for turn signals may be too bright at night.
That would be crazy, I bet it would be like somebody flashing there headlights. Originally I was going to get red DRL bulbs, but I was afraid of getting stopped by a cop. I have also seen guys make a wiring "T" that connected the DRL and front turn signals together, that gives you one solid color that acts together making a really nice look. I was going to do that mod, until I looked at it closer and decided against it. The combined wattage was 55 watts, and that was going through 18 gauge factory wire. I would be scared of shorting something out, but it was an awesome mod for sure.
Remember if you do decide to change all of the bulbs over stay with the same brand, because the white LED vary in color. For example the one's your looking at have a cool blue look to them, and mine are almost pure white so if you mix them it would look funny. The amber bulbs are the same way, I had Silverstar turning signals mixed with stock ones and they were completely different. Jamm Straight also makes some sweet LED bulbs, I have a set of there Euro bulbs in my S-10 and they are still the original one's from 2001!

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Economists expect a preliminary flash manufacturing index for the U.S. released by Markit to dip to 53.0 in January after hitting a seven-month high of 54.0 in December. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. The index, a snapshot of the manufacturing sector, is similar in design to the Institute for Supply Management manufacturing index. The Markit index has shown a stronger tone than the ISM index in recent months. The ISM index rose to 50.7 in December from 49.5 in November.
