No doubt about it, this is one enormous house. Measuring 12,000 square feet, it provides enough room for a dedicated home theater, a fitness center and a wine cellar. There is also plenty of space for lots of flat-panel TVs, built-in speakers and huge racks of audio/video equipment. Unfortunately, when the homeowners purchased the finished four-story residence three years ago, few of these amenities were included, save for a flat-panel TV in the family room and a modest whole-house music system.
That would all change, however. Over the course of several years, the family would give their plain-Jane house a complete overhaul, customizing it with new features, functions and tons of technology. (Click here to view a slideshow.)
Large and In Charge
Given the size of the residence, the family knew that managing it would be tough without some type of home control system. Their system would certainly need to provide a quick, easy means of operating the lights, thermostats, audio/video equipment and security sensors. But there were many other technologies the family thought their system should handle as well. "They figured if they were making the investment in a home control system, they didn't just want it to operate one or two subsystems, but every single system in the house," says Bill Charney of Advanced Home Audio in Shelton, Conn.
The AMX system recommended by Charney had the brains and the brawn to do just that. More than a dozen AMX touchpanels were installed inside the home to allow the family to operate the controls of their swimming pool and spa, an elevator, motorized gates and garage doors, moveable artwork, adjustable surveillance cameras and gas fireplaces. They would also be able to manage the watering schedule of a custom-designed irrigation system, the inventory of a computerized wine cellar and the fuel levels of oil and propane tanks.
In order to unite such a wide variety of systems under a single control platform, the Advanced Home Audio team installed a whole new highway of cabling throughout the already finished house. It was a tough exercise, given that the walls were already up, but "we were able to minimize the amount of Sheetrock we had to cut by fishing the cabling through closets," says Charney. To that wiring backbone, the team connected nine flat-panel TVs, more than 30 pairs of speakers and 19 AMX in-wall touchpanels, and six remote controls, in addition to a slew of sophisticated processors that would turn this large home into a smart, sophisticated, well-managed estate.
Turn the Page
Given the sheer number of devices managed by the AMX system, the best way to describe this home's amazing control capabilities is by discussing each subsystem. For many of its clients, Advanced Home Audio designs the control system to synchronize the operation of multiple devices, such as having the lights and music come on together as part of an entertainment scene or having the thermostats and motorized window shades adjust automatically at certain times of the day.
This family, however, felt more comfortable using the system as a dashboard, where they could gather information about their systems, set up their own schedules, and initiate the commands themselves. To facilitate this process, Advanced Home Audio designed a specific page of controls for each subsystem controlled by the AMX processor. Each page can be displayed on any AMX touchpanel by pressing the respective tab on the screen's main menu.
Audio & Video
In the audio/video menu, the homeowners can direct their AMX whole-house audio system to deliver music to any of 30 listening zones in and around the house or video to as many as nine flat-panel TVs, most of which are covered with motorized artwork that rolls up and away once the set is turned on. All of the audio and video sources, with the exception of an iPod dock, are located in a huge equipment rack in a well-ventilated utility room on the second floor.
The beefiest component in the rack is a Kaleidescape media server. Boasting 16 terabytes of digital storage, it holds the homeowners' entire CD and DVD collection, which includes more than 100 home videos. Either from a touchpanel or the screen of a TV, the family can peruse the massive entertainment library—which has been organized by genre, artist, album title and other information—then enter their selection and choose where they'd like that movie or music to be delivered: the patio, kitchen, family room or throughout the entire residence, for example.
The AMX distribution system supports other types of media besides DVDs and CDs. The family can access content from a Blu-ray player, cable and satellite receivers, an AM/FM tuner, a phonograph, and any iPod that's hooked into the in-wall docking station in the kids' playroom.
A connection between a Vantage lighting control system and the AMX home control system allows the family to brighten, dim and turn on and off more than 200 interior and exterior lights via the AMX touchpanels. The lighting menu also displays a handful of scene commands, each of which triggers a specific group of lights to illuminate certain areas, like the outdoor sports court for a game of evening basketball or the theater for a night of watching movies. Pathways, which illuminate a route between one room and another, can also be engaged from a touchpanel.

If all goes as planned I am at BlogWorld today. I've got my day mapped out and I'm ready to go. My plan is to take the train to the Los Angeles Convention Center in order to save the $12 parking fee and the twenty or so dollars it would cost to drive. If the train works well I'll probably do the same on Saturday.
According to my present schedule I'll try to take the 6:50 AM train to get me to the venue by 7:30 which is when the registration desk opens. That should give me some time to join in the 8 AM networking breakfast and scout the facility before the doors to the exhibit hall open at 10:00.
What do I expect to find there? The Expo is essentially a trade show where there will be about 100 booths representing many companies and organizations related to blogging, social media, and other things. Add to that a throng of bloggers and social media enthusiasts exploring what the expo has to offer. For me that spells education and enlightenment.
I'll let you know on Monday how it all went.
Will any of you be there this weekend?
By the way, you don't have to go to BlogWorld in person to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge that the seminars will offer. All speaker sessions will be available online for you to enjoy at your leisure. For more information follow the link below:
Order by 11/5 and save $150 on your Blog World Virtual Ticket! Price goes up to $497 on 11/6!

Some Naughty, Some Nice for the HolidaysPosted by on December 24, 2012 – 2:09 pm
What do you want first, the good news or the bad news?
All right, good news first.
With one more favorable set of games on the last day of the season next Sunday, the Jets will have the NFL's No. 1 pass defense for 2012.
Stay with me on this.
The Jets are No. 2 for the second week in a row, behind Pittsburgh's No. 1 unit, but the gap closed significantly on Sunday. As the Jets were yielding 136 net yards (passing yards minus sack yards), to the Chargers, the Steelers gave up 253 to Andy Dalton and the Bengals. That leaves the Jets 30 yards behind the Steelers.
A Green & White shutdown of Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Bills coupled with a Steelers showing vs. Brandon Weeden and the Browns that is 31-plus yards than the Jets allow (and barring an even greater lockdown by No. 3 Arizona against No. 4 San Francisco or vice versa and by No. 5 Seattle against St. Louis) and the Jets will wear the No. 1 crown for pass defense in a year in which they didn't have Darrelle Revis for 13 games and only lately started to bring serious, consistent pressure on opposing QBs.
What's the point, you may ask over your eggnog. No. 1 pass defense isn't a secret tiebreaker to get the Jets into the AFC playoff grid. It doesn't pay incentives. There isn't even a plaque for the wall downstairs at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center. And where was the vaunted passing D in Sunday's third quarter?
That last question is easiest to answer, although I'll sound like a coach here when I say they're paying the Chargers, too. Philip Rivers is still a decent QB, Danario Alexander is a dangerous downfield threat, Antonio Gates is one of the long-time gold standards at TE. Yeah, it would've been great to see Antonio Cromartie play that ball to Alexander better and for Eric Smith to drop Gates right after the catch, but most teams would kill for a defense that gave up 10 of its 20 points off of short fields and allowed 136 yards of passing offense on the day.
"The defense played really well for the majority of the game," head coach Rex Ryan said on a conference call with beat reporters today. "I thought we gave up two huge plays. One we really thought we had the coverage, then did a poor job from a technique standpoint. Then you've got to give them credit for a nice job of scheming us when they got Gates isolated. That was obviously a big play for them. I think that's obviously the difference in the game. They were absolutely dominated on defense and they made enough plays on offense to win the game."
But at least consider there's carryover from everything, good, bad and mediocre. However the Jets' offense shakes out in 2013, the defense figures to be a cornerstone for the Jets going forward. Mo and Q, the Hitman, Cro and Revis Island, et al., should be a major force in the future, and nothing like a top ranking to underscore that for newcomers to the fold. Plus 1 isn't a crooked number and is better than a sharp stick in the eye.
And Now for the Naughty
The bad news is that, besides a sudden blocking problem — "That was as poor as I can ever remember, as far as pass protection is concerned," Ryan said of the 11 sacks suffered by Greg McElroy and the offense — another issue has lately reared its ugly head. It's a turnover problem.
We hate to say it on Christmas Eve, but the Jets have been doing too much giving and not enough taking.
In their last five games, they have a minus-14 turnover margin (four takeaways, 18 giveaways), dropping them to minus-13 on the year, 27th in the NFL. Furthermore, it's tied for the most lopsided five-game in-season margin in franchise history with a stretch of the Jets' inaugural season as the Titans in 1960, when they went minus-14 from Games 5-9 (14 TAs, 28 GAs). The only worse five-game stretch spanned the 1976 and '77 seasons, when they had a minus-18 (9 TAs, 27 GAs) through the '77 season opener.
On the one hand, this kind of trend can undo a lot of the good things a team might do, such as playing great pass defense or getting off the field on third down or returning and covering kickoffs. On the other, at least the Jets won two of the games in this five game span, vs. Arizona and at Jacksonville.
Regardless, some members of the defense spoke with me about optimizing takeaway opportunities, and that hasn't happened with no turnovers for the defense, not even a forced fumble, the last two games. Just like great pass defense can continue into the offseason and the next preseason, so can that often whimsical but always important turnover habit.
There is no better time for McElroy and the offense to work on ball security and the D to step up its ball thievery than this season's last live action against the Bills, who are minus-14 for the season and minus-8 in their last three games alone.
Rex Cetera
Ryan was grilled again about quarterbacks following the game. He deflected Sunday stories about sources offering information regarding Tim Tebow being active but not playing against the Chargers while Jeremy Kerley ran the Wildcat on several plays, most notably the 42-yard completion to Clyde Gates on the Jets' second drive.
"You're assuming something's a fact or whatever," Ryan said regarding questions about some of those sources. "I'll say this: If I would've asked Tim to play anything, Tim would've gone in the game and done that. … Jeremy looked good in practice. That's why I went with him. I could've used Tim. If I'd chosen to use Tim, I believe without any hesitation Tim would've been out there."
Reporter John Holt will have a story on Kerley that we'll post Christmas morning. And we'll have more on Rex, the quarterbacks, and the rest of the Jets when we all return to the facility for Wednesday's practice for the Bills. Until then, we'll sign off now and wish you and yours the happiest of holidays.

– Fire Mike Tannenbaum
– Hire a smart GM (ex. Bill Polian (though I doubt he'll want to come here))
– Explore options for a new Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator and even QB ( I am not ready to give up on Sanchez, I believes he deserves at least one, just one more shot and as for Rex Ryan, he needs to wake up. I'm not giving up on him either but he needs to be the old fiery not taking talk from anyone Rex, of course without the Super Bowl guarantees. Its clear he's not the same he once was when he first came here. I want him to be more like the old fun Rex and be smart at the same time. At heart, he's a DC and they should move him to that position but lets give the guy one more shot. And as for exploring a new QB, thats….

O.K, so it was another ugly game where more negative records were set and we have one more to go through. At this point the running gag about the J-E-T-S being short for" Just End The Season" seems really appropo. That being said I would like to wish all of you who celebrate a very Merry Christmas, and to those of other faiths the Best to you as well!!!!!!!

1. The JETS should try an get ***(MATT FLYNN)*** as QB for the JETS!
2. A lot of JETS have I have spoken to say, they would like **(MATT FLYNN)** as a JETS QB.
3. Maybe (SANCHEZ) would make a DEAL with the JETS, and take a PAY (CUT) to have the JETS deal him away or to have SANCHEZ leave!

…….just in case, a good backup for now or the possible future. I'm still behind Mark and McElroy as the number 2 guy. Sparano, I like better than Schottenheimer because he does like to throw it deep on occasions but he needs to be better as does Sanchez. Still, I wouldn't mind a new OC, either way, the most important thing is Tannenbaum is shown the door.)
– Either sell the team or Mr. Johnson needs to make some major and better changes if he's currently lost.
– Find a good WRs coach who teaches these wideouts to get separation from the opposing secondary players.
– Move Rex to DC or find a new one if Pettine does not return
– Find a GREAT QBs coach
– Find a GOOD Outside Linebackers coach since the current one is leaving
By Karan on Dec 24, 2012 | Reply
– Find a good replacement for Mike Westoff since he will most likely not return
– Find a new running backs coach
– Release Shonn Greene
– Sign Rashard Mendendall or a legit running back. ( I say give Joe McKnight a chance to start, he shows a little burst at times, why not right?)
– Re-sign Braylon Edwards
– Release Mardy Gilyard
– Release Chaz Schilens
– Either sign Patrick Turner as a 5th receiver or keep Clyde Gates as a 5th receiver (either way, pick one)
– Wide Receiver depth chart should be:: Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, Jeremy Kerley, Stephen Hill & Clyde Gates or Patrick Turner
– Re-sign Jeff Cumberland
– Re-sign Konrad Reuland ( if he's a free agent)
– Re-sign Dustin Keller

Those pass defense statistics are misleading, the Jets are giving up more then 135 YPG rushing. That tells you all you need to know. As for Eric Smith covering the TE? I though it was sad watching Gates, at what? 39 years old? running away from Smith on that TD catch. That is not supposed to happen.

This team quit on Ryan for the second year in a row. While McElroy held the ball a little long a few times the pass protection was the worst I have ever seen. These guys should be ashamed of themselves and is the final evidence this team needs a make over.
Merry Christmas!

I am in agreement with you Randy on our defense> I feel Revis will make a great recovery and be a very effective part of the defense. The young players on defense can only improve in time. Offesively we look terrible, 11 sacks, it's as though the offensecould not pass protect and still McElroy managed 175 yards passing. Not bad considering how many times he got sacked, what I liked about him is he hung in there and did not lose his poise. Most QB'S after being sacked that many times would have lost there confidence McElroy kept his poise.
As for TT if it is true what is being said that he told the Coaches not to use him, then no matter what they should never put him in another game…
Randy, great post 12/24/12. Merry Christmas…

Needless to say, if there's any truth to this rumor that Woody wants to keep Mr T around in a position of the slightest authority — a condition that no remotely qualified GM would ever accept — somebody needs to have a long and serious talk with Woody. (Maybe Mitt Romney, who may have learned the consequences of hiring someone — Paul Ryan — and then not ever really turning him loose on the field.)

Well, ladies and gentlemen after giving up 11 sacks to that pass-rushing juggernaut San Diego Chargers, this team has officially reached Defcon 2. Only with a loss to the Bills next Sunday can we achieve Defcon 1. I have been begging for an OLB who can pressure the QB for years however when you consider Moore has a season or two left, Slauson is most likely gone and we have zero depth on the OL, Chance Warmack is looking more and more attractive to this team. You can go back to the days of Randy Rasmussen and the Jets have never had a killer guard – when they got Faneca, he was a shell of his former self. Whomever they trot out there next year as QB is not going to stand a chance unless they get themselves another stud OL.

If initial reports are correct, Woody Johnson is at least starting off correctly – looking at a team (Houston) that has drafted well and looking at their director of scouting to replace Tannenaum. Houston may never win anything because they have the modern day version of Norv Turner (Gay Kubiak) as head coach however when a team can lose Mario Williams, DeMeco Ryans and Eric Winston and basically not skip a beat, that speaks volumes about their ability to draft. Unfortunately Woody must realize that Mike T is the one who has gotten this team into salary cap hell and send him packing. The guy may be good in some means of finance however he should not be allowed anywhere near contract negotiations or personnel decisions

They should get rid of the offensive cordinator,make Rex a defensive coach,bring John Gruden as Head Coach,SANCHEZ will be a much better QB when he gets some receivers,make Mcelroy a back -up QB,and work on that horrible offensive line in the offseason,know wonder SANCHEZ was running for his life all season,on top of that he had NO receivers to throw too…

Anybody here blaming the "Offensive" stench coming from the QB position this year – DON'T BLAME TEBOW! Had to get that off my chest. Mark has not shown evidence that he has a better grasp of the position now than he did on draft day. Blame Woody for panicking after Favre left ! Blame T/Rex for drafting Sanchez against many annalists better judgement! Blame Jets for hiring Matt Cavanaugh as QB coach! Blame Tbomb & Rex for the lack of any real talent around Mark! Blame Tbomb for hiring Sparano! Blame Tbum & Rex for both agreeing it was a brilliant idea to acquire Tim Tebow – yeah it was a joint decision! Blame Sparano for his lack of creativity and coaching skill to implement an offense to maximize (what limited) skills Mark had! >>>>

That's the most extensive Jets-centric Christmas list I've ever seen, Karan! Happy holidays to all, if we get half of what you listed there I'll be happy — though for me it still all starts with getting rid of Mr T, Rex, and Sanchez, enough is enough, those guys will never measure up in today's NFL. scjoe, I thought the exact same thing, "There's Eric Smith again, put him in for one series and he gets beat for 6 by a big TE." And finally (before I go off for Christmas dinner), yes, Frank, excessive talk about "McElroy holding the ball too long" is utterly ridiculous. I had to blink to make sure I was seeing straight when he was sacked THREE TIMES IN A ROW ON THE VERY LAST TIME WE HAD THE BALL! I've NEVER seen that happen on ANY team EVER!

Blame Game continued – I blame the Jets organization for being dysfunctional and for projecting a LAUGHINSTOCK image around the league. Peyton Manning probably laughed hard when he heard the jets were pursuing him- don't you think? Blame Rex for Lying to Tebow, first – giving Tim the impression that he'd be a significant part of the offense, second – every #2 QB KNOWS he has to prepare as though he's the starter each week because he's one snap away from starting if the #1 QB falters. I was not a big fan of Tebow when he was in Denver, started reading about him when he came to NY. He's been a model for how a PRO Football Player should conduct himself, on and off the field, despite how the Jets have treated him.

Look at Mike McCoy or even Norv Turner as offensive coordinators. I hear the Jets are looking for a new one. They might be looking for a new one everything on offense.
By Karan on Dec 25, 2012 | Reply
You never know guys, Turner could make Sanchez a decent QB again. He's a terrible head coach but perhaps good OC. However, most importantly like I've said before, number one priority is a new GM!

Blame Rant continues – Had the Jets front office management, and coaching staff been competent they would have seen (what we did) that Sanchez was not the answer. I Blame "Cap Guru" Tbum for 95% of this train-wreck a.k.a. the 2012/13 NY Jets. Sources I trust (former players, insiders) all say Tanny is essentially a "Yes Man" He doesn't have any original ideas of his own, nor the experience and talent evaluation skills to be anything other than an accountant. The Jets don't have a long term master plan to build a SB winner here because the GM (the architect on all great teams) simply lacks the wherewithal to draw even a basic blueprint for winning in the NFL!
By Byrdman on Dec 25, 2012 | Reply
If we had even a "competent" coaching staff in place they would have recognized this team lacked the explosive players on offense and the O-line that Tebow had out in Denver. In camp Rex should have seen how impotent the whole offense looked, as everyone else did during the preseason. Did anyone else notice how several other teams ran a "Pistol" VERY effectively this season? Reason number 57 why the Jets looked like a circus this season was when Rex bragged about how dangerous his "wildcat" would be? Yet, it was the LEAST dangerous "option" formation in the NFL by far. Feel like i should apply for a job with the Jets :D My resume' is impressive (2 yrs high-school safety) I've got about 10 great pistol plays for Tebow – 10 more than Tony!

I like him for what he did his first two years, but Rex must go. Funny how not many here complained too much about tannenbaum before Rex arrived. If I can fault him it is being bullied by Rex. Keep tannenbaum. Fire Rex.

Karan. Sanchez should get another chance ? Sparano is better than Schotty Fans like you, are the reason the bar has been set so low over the years. I understand second chances. I understand mistakes as well as the next,it's beyond all that.. Let me ask oh wise one, lets say we give MS another year, let imagine he gets us to 9-7 or by some miracle 10-6 even with his 50% passer rating and his usual 10- 15 fumbles or his 15 – 20 INT's per year, How far do you think he will go into the playoff's against elite teams. he hasn't talent enough,Every coach has the book on MS Blitz and he folds.. HE NEEDS TO GO

By RyanO on Dec 25, 2012 | Reply
I think Karan has pretty much hit the nail on the head in assessing every aspect of this team moving forward. I'm not sure if he'd make a better GM than Tannenbaum or if he's just aware of the painfully obvious. If they don't fire Tannenbaum, and he follows through with some of the things on that list we will know with certainty that he reads the pages here on the website.
I think Rex will regain his fire when Tannenbaum and Sparano are fired. He's too busy being the face of the organization that has people in important positions around him making horrendous decisions. It has turned him into a timid apologist as he tries to be the glue and stay out of the limelight. How unfortunate.

Randy's post about the secondary just adds more sense to what i have said since August. Trade Revis for some picks and a player makes the most sense for this team. If the Jets do not trade him they will risk the chance of losing him to free agency at the end of 2013. They can not tag him and they would get nothing for him. So if they take a little less in value now it still would be better. He is going to want Mario Williams type of money and that would be foolish considering the fact the Jets need to fill so many holes.

Well I for one can't wait to see what Greg has to say this off season about the "TOXIC" locker room. I would not blame Tebow if he did refuse to play the wildcat. After spending all year with this team and their negativity it is bound to wear on a person no matter how positive he is. After some of the players ripped him and seeing how well the team played for Greg I wouldn't risk injury for this team either. I do not believe the report that he refused anyway because the inside sources were probably the cook and the towel boy. I have a feeling that they will not let Tim go because Woody wants him around I think it will be the same old same old next year.

Though he is getting the start next week I think that was the official beginning and end of the Greg McElroy era. Normally there is a reason why players are drafted in the 7th round and never active on gameday and McElroy showed that today. In the post game Rex Ryan tried to pin a lot of it on the offensive line but most of those 11 sacks today were the fault of a Quarterback who had absolutely no idea what was going on. Some of the passes were nowhere near an intended target and clearly the arm is weak. He looked like a college QB trying to play in the NFL and that is never good.

Today I have some QB musings: First, Tebow. I give him a pass if what they said about not wanting to play is true. They treated him like a starter with interviews and endless articles. If after 9 months of that he finally broke a little just shows he is human. Tebow himself needs to evaluate. After taking the Broncos to the playoffs and beating the Steelers only 2 teams wanted to give him a chance. he needs to accept the fact that he will not be a starting QB. I feel he would be best served transitioning to a TE. He could still run a wildcat on occasion. A team can not afford to tie up an active position on such a limied player. He is not a starting QB waiting as backup and his skill sets . A TE who can occasionally run the wildcat.

League sources tell CBS the Jets are planning to replace GM Mike Tannenbaum, but hope to keep him in a "cap management role."
The Jets are reportedly already "reaching out" to potential GM candidates. However, according to reporter Jason La Canfora, candidates are having "significant issues with the parameters." Tannenbaum has not only failed as a talent evaluator, but as a cap manager, handing out many terrible contracts.
The good news for Jets fans, however, is that at the very least, it appears Tannenbaum will no longer be overseeing the draft and free agency. The Jets might finally have a chance in player evaluation.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports that the Jets' firing of offensive coordinator Tony Sparano is "imminent."
Sparano has been fileted on ESPN and elsewhere for the offense he fielded in 2012, which saw Mark Sanchez take yet another step back in his career. Per La Canfora, GM Mike Tannenbaum is Sparano's biggest supporter inside the Jets' organization, and Tannenbaum may very well be fired as well.

con't . . . karan, 1 more shot? His demeanor and field presence will never translate into a starter. An excellent backup capable of running an offense if #1 is injured. Forget about his winning record. Tony Romo in 10 years has only 1 playoff win. Sanchez has 4. BUT, Romo does not get all weepy and hang his head when he is losing. He is still out there slinging the ball around trying to win a game. He is not hoping that the D will shut out the other team. He plays to win. He doesn't play not to lose and that's Sanchez's mindset. When way behind, like Brady, feels he can still win. Sanchez looks defeated and your leader can not do that. 11 sachs and McElroy never looked depressed. 8,000,000 jet fans contributing a $1 and he's gone.

RANDY, God bless you my man because only you could come up with a positive spin on this season at this point.And no, I am not being sarcastic. While you make alot of good points I think S.C.Joe makes an equally good point about the run defence.From my perspective, while the defence has put up a pretty good statisticle season, there are clearly some major issues that need to be addressed. The run defence has been poor throught out the season as the Bills torched them in the first game and the trend has continued throughout.Obviously, there is a need for faster more athletic players at the L.B posisitions and improved play from the D.L as well.With Landry likely leaving via free agency there will be a hugh hole at safty as well.

We will see were this goes with Mr T but did anybody take a minute to think Mr Johnson wouldn't let him spend any money this year since they were reported to be 9 mill over the cap entering the season? Wonder if they signed a WR and an OL or RB if they might have won a few more games?

Gary C: White and Alexander were solid however neither of them were close to being considered the best at their position. Jets have had some outstanding centers in Schmitt, Fields and now Mangold. Winston Hill, Marvin Powell and Ferguson were considered near the top at their position at OT however they have never had a guard who was considered close to elite. Wilfolk just came off a solid season and the Bills have those two slobs (Dareus, Kyle Williams) in the middle – would be very helpful having this kid blocking them twice a year. Like I have said before, some reports have him better than Decastro and a number of people had DeCastro better than Hutchinson. This is a weak QB class so let's not make the mistake of reaching for one

The way I see it it is time to get rid of Tannenbaum and Sparano… Never mind second chances. It is time to talk to "GRUDEN" and make him "GM and HC" and start building with the draft. There are some damn good offensive players in the 2013 draft such as:Eric Fisher OT Central Mich., Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma, Oday Obushi OT Virginia, Dallas Thomas OT Tenn, how about some good RB such as Giovini Bernard NC. Some of these players will be available for the JETS to grab. We have a good defense and with Revis coming back next year and the young defensive players imrproving it will be great next year. I do agree they have to learn to tackle a little better. Bujt we need offensive linemen who can block and keep a QB from sacked 11 times in

This was G-Mac first start. He doesn't have timing down with the WR's and TE's. An NFL QB should hold the ball for no more than 4 seconds. The offense line can only hold but for so long. I still want to see what this kid has with a new OC and QB coach. If he is a career backup QB then so be it at least he should be given a chance. Nice to hear that Sparano is on his way out along with Cavanaugh. Mike Tannenbaum going back to handling the cap. New GM on the way. Mike Pettine I won't shed any tears for you if you leave.

I would like to see certain players on this squad if the $ is right. 1. RB/ Reggie Bush. He still has some legs and can catch the ball out of the backfield. keep Powell as the Back up RB and McKnight. 2. QB/ M.Moore/C.Henne 3.WR/Bowe/Wallace, we need a deep threat. I like Edwards but I would put him at #4. If we can land either Bowe/Wallace line him up with Holmes and Kerley that should give us a decent WR unit.Have Edwards come in like Cotchery did as #3 or 4. Use Kerley in the slot. TE. Keller is the most frustrating out of them all. You see he has the talent but never really put it together here. What I am afraid of is that he goes to NE or Atlanta and becomes the star we always wanted him to be here.

The new GM MUST draft a QB and offensive line for the future. Our defensive line with Ellis/Wilkerson/Coples look to be bright. Now we need some help at the LB positions,
Davis/Harris will man the MLB. McyIntre doesn't look bad at the OLB needs better coverage skills but he knows how to rush the QB. We need another OLB I like the kid from Houston C.Barwin. Revis/Cro the best CB Tandem in the NFL. Sign Landry (But I can also see him playing for the Ravens next year too) let the rookie Bush/Allen play FS our secondary looks solid.

My last post said to trade Revis for picks that could bring us an O line among other things. We really didnt fail this year because of not having Revis. Next thing, why are we hearing that Tbomb should be kept as the CAP specialist? He gave Sanchez the $8 mil guaranteed extension with a 17 mil cap hit if we dump him. We are in a cap mess for next year. Is he a guru like his buddy Sporano is an OC guru? They must go. Finally, this organization should apologize to Tebow for the abuse, the lies, the misleading words, for wasting a year of his life and maybe killing his career. Yet, the kid always showed class. I was never for bringing him here. I hope he has enormous success with Jax. Its no wonder we might be the most disliked team in the US.

Glad to see some of you agree with the list. I think whats most important in the first round this year is the Jets drafting an OLB. This team seriously needs an OLB, not a DE/NT/DT. Just an OLB. I hear this kid Barkevious Mingo (funniest name I've heard, haha) is pretty good. Some of these LSU players turn out to be good in the NFL, Patrick Peterson of Arizona for example and the New York Jets LaRon Landry. People say he's the next Aldon Smith, I don't know about that, I'll believe when I see it because Aldon Smith is a really special player, great draft pick for the 49ers. But anyways, the Jets should consider drafting this young man. They should have Garrett McIntyre on one side and either Mingo OR they should pursue Conner Barwin……..
By Karan on Dec 26, 2012 | Reply
……..from the Texans via free agency. Barwin should suit the Jets cap situation, should be cheaper than most OLBs. I mean David Harris, DeMario Davis, Garrett McIntyre and Barkevious Mingo OR Conner Barwin is not bad as a starting unit here.

If MS is back next season, he should not be given the starting job at qb, as some of you have mentioned. That was part of the problem this season. The job should be up for grabs, with a healthy competition between him, GMac, or any other qb brought in. That will bring out the best in all, and may the best man win. Karan, as far as Rex returning to his old self, that will never happen unless he has a winning team. Talk is cheap, and you have to back it up on the field. The reason he is eating humble pie is because of the horrible play by this team, and until that changes, welcome to the new Rex.

64, my take on those sacks? Half were on McElroy, not that you can put that much blame on him considering it was his first start ever and had no resemblance of a run game. I would put this analogy on what happened, and I think Spicer will appreciate this. If it were Peyton or Rodgers out there, same run game, same O line, I think you would have seen at least 2TD passes and maybe 2-3 sacks, with Sanchez, "maybe" one TD pass and about 5 or 6 sacks, and we saw what happened with McElroy. See where I am going? What I am really hoping for is major improvement in his second start

Ira, great analysis of the Revis situation, he must go and we need the picks THIS YR! Joe and Spicer, if McElroy's arm gets stronger, which is a big if, he may well work out.

Unless they can work a trade whereby they pick up a good portion of his salary, he will be right back here at 8 Mil to be the b/u QB. Thank You Mike Tannenbum. Then, factor in the salary savings by releasing many at the bottom of the roster who average about half a Mil apiece, and they will be fine.

scjoe, the sacks that "were on McElroy" were on him because he was told by Rex to do anything but throw an INT, like the way Kerley, an explosive PR guy, somehow leads the NFL in fair catches. As many have said (including Arte on the phone to me), the entire timid character of this team is largely on Rex, who just doesn't understand how games are won today. Spicer, that's your most dishonest post since last yr's Sanchez stats — sure there will be some young QBs in the playoffs this yr who aren't yet "elite," they're just gonna be next yr. This is also the 2nd yr in a row you've talked about Ben R as if he hasn't fought off injuries like a Spartan and even missed games, which obviously largely explains PIT's problems.

This proves more and more that Ryan did not want Tebow here in the first place and that he had no intention on starting Tebow whether mark was bad or not. Because if he started Tebow and Tebow does well and wins…Everyone will come down on Rex and say "Why didn't you make this move earlier?" Now if he stinks up the place people will know for a fact that Tebow was brought here soley for selling tickets. WOW….What a mess this team has become…Monday morning can't come quick enough!

Yes, Allan, and it's no accident that Rex's "mess" has to do with the position that matters most in the NFL these days and which he understands least, QB.
By By Jet Fan Since 1964 Frank on Dec 27, 2012 | Reply
This is the first I heard of McElroy having a concussion. If that's true then MS should start. I can not forget the words of TT "DO NOT PLAY ME". He does not deserve to start after that comment. No matter how you look at it and no matter who the QB is next year. If we do not draft offensive players that can block and stop the pass rush we wiill be in the same position as this past year. a good OFFENSE allows a QB to create a passing game, from the passing game a good running game can follow. We need offensive players on the line.
There are some good coaches that will be available in 2013, lets get a couple of them…

S.C.Joe, you are right about the sac's being on Mac. I watched the game over and most of the sac's were on three step drops(timeing patterns) For those of you who are not as fanatical as others here a 3 step drops means the Q.B takes 3 steps reading his keys(where the d.b or L.B lines up) as he drops back and throws the ball where he antisapates the reciever will be.There is a lot of strict timeing on these patterns and if everyone is on the same page a high probability of success. The problem is any indecisevness on the Q.B or recievers part will doom the play.A Q.B makeing his first start will usually struggle like Mac did.i agree with your assessment 100%

WHATS UP? I'm seeing a lot of crazy ideas here about hireing Mangini as G.M, or makeing Rex the new head coaches D.Coordinator, Tanney the Salary cap guy? None of these ideas are bad thoughts but let me just say this; STOP!!!!!! Not gonna happan! First of all, Mangini's parting from the Jets was,shall we say, less than amicable. I dont see Woody & Mangenious sipping martini's anytime soon. Even if Rex would be willing to be demoted to D.C there is no way the new H.C would want the guy who's place he took looking over his shoulder.(would you?)Ditto a new G.M with Tanney.While this makes interesting conversation its just not what happans in any business,let alone the NFL.

Joe,you are already setting up Ryan now as Elite,you might as well put Brad Johnson,Trent Dilfer,Mark Rypian,there too,it is becoming obvious no matter what quarterback wins the super bowl he will be elite to you.I guess being a Jet Fan for many years all quarterbacks are looking Elite to you after years of watching Vinny,Foley,Boomer,Woodall,Nagle and whoever else they had.I also see where now you are going back to the dark ages,bringing up Starr and Staubach and others when you said those guys didn't matter in this age of football.

Back at ya, Joe! Lemme tell some of you guys something about my man Joe CAPS. I don't agree with him all the time (only about 90%) and I don't think the CAPS are always necessary in such numbers, though some folks probably don't like my CAPS either. But I'll say this about Joe: He's one of the guys on this site that I'd most want to work for, with, or hire, because HE LIVES IN THE REAL WORLD, DOESN'T BUY INTO JET FANTASY NONSENSE, AND KEEPS HIS EYE ON THE PRIZE WHICH IN THE NFL TODAY IS SCORING PTS, DOMINATING, AND BEATING THE OTHER GUYS SO BAD THAT THEY LOSE NEXT WK'S GAME! Sorry if that's too many CAPS for some of you, including Spicer and Karan, who better give up these delusions about Sanchez before they become mentally crippling.

You constantly post about how for years you have said about how bad Sanchz was meanwhile until the Jets lost there final 3 games last year you were fully on the bandwagon. I have a fantastic memory & I can post word for word some of your posts last last year if you want?

Touche,Tom Spicer,Joe is just showing his distaste for Sanchez by naming every other quarterback in the NFL as elite.Nothing else matters on the team but a quarterback,if that is the case,just do those old quarterback challenges and have the elite quarterbacks throw it through the tires 50 yards away to settle the Super Bowl champion.

I read every post in here and some are good and some are bad and very criticle of other's. We are all frustrated over this past seasons performance of the "JETS OFFENSE" AS FOR THE "defense" they played well even though they were on the field most of the time. RANDY I agree with you on our defense, it is good there statistics prove that and we will be getting Revis back next year. KAREN, I am glad to see you now see that the offense is what we have to rebuild, there is "NO" question in my mind to this. There are some very good offensive lineman coming out of college this year including some very good RB'S and that's what we need to protect the QB and give him time to pass, the passing game opens up the running game and if the Jets have
By By Jet Fan Since 1964 Frank on Dec 28, 2012 | Reply
both an offense and defense next year we might get some where. None of us know who the QB will be in 2013 ande if it is McElroy and MS they need protection. WE ALSO NEED coaching starting from the "GM, HC AMONG OTHER COACHES" i hoper Sparano and Tan are gone. As for REX, demote him to defensive coach, He is not a HC but he damn sure is good as a defensive coach… Well, Sunday is our last game foir the 2012 season, MS is the QB, Mark I hope you do well so we do not go out with a loss… "LETS GO JETS"….

JOE CAPS, Is already trying to cover his tracks now all of a sudden Matt Ryan is ELITE let him win 1 playoff game ONE! before we call him that. RG3 is now ELITE did the Redskins even MAKE the playoffs yet? Andrew Luck is now ELITE who has 21 TDS & 23 TOTAL TURNOVERS. I think it is safe to say that you need to at least win 1 playoff game in your life & have more TDS than turnovers in a season BEFORE you are ELITE. I think my 4 year old would know that!

Spicer, it was dishonest of you, as scjoe said, to stretch to write off McElroy after 1 game when YOU stuck with Sanchez till a few wks ago! ME, I posted many times 2 yrs ago how ominous Sanchez's terrible game vs PIT in the playoffs was. Very early on last yr, I said it wasn't the O line or the new WRs, it was MS's lack of QB skills and confidence. By middle of the yr, I said he should have to compete with McElroy and someone like Orton or Campbell THIS yr, but you kept throwing meaningless and often inflated, garbage-time stats at us. And of course I went nuts when Mr T re-did MS's deal instead of cutting it back. And what were YOU doing when we lost the last 3 games last yr? Denying and denying, like you did again after Sunday's game…

And by the way, Spice, since I have a terrific memory as well, I also remember you LAST yr — when ANYBODY shoulda been able to see that Sanchez needed to earn the job — saying that Sanchez should get THIS yr to show what he's got BEFORE having to earn the job. Well, you got what you wanted, right? Sanchez was handed the job this yr without having to earn it and he was worse than ever. You happy now?

Joe, I think it's like I said to one well-known fan on this site a few wks ago, and it's the sign of a loser franchise, I saw it with the '60s Mets, Yankees, and Giants: Fans start thinking of the players as their friends, of the team as their family, and they take satisfaction in that. It may make sense in the same way that the Stockholm Syndrome makes sense but it doesn't win ball games, doesn't win SBs, and I want no part of it. If I met "Mark" in person I'd be perfectly nice to him, just like I am to anyone I meet. As far as this site goes, though, "Mark Sanchez" is just the name of a terrible QB that we shoulda seriously started questioning when we were down 24-0 at the half to PIT — as I told Spicer on this site the very next day.

One thing is for sure Mr. Tan will not be back. Now to get rid of Sparano and demote REX to DC and only DC where I feel REX is very good at Defense. We have the 9th Draft pick in 2013. I feel OT Tayl;or Lewan OT from Michigan and if by chance Luke Joeckel of Texas A & M happens to be available with the 9th pick the Jets should grab him But Taylor will do.. Now if Giovani Bernard RB from NC is available when we get to the second round we should grab him. OFFENSIVE lineman is where the Jets Should concentrate on as well as a good inside/outside running back who is not afraid to block….

Movement 18: Finale alla Fuga
Cast in the unusual form of an introduction, theme, fifteen variations and a fugue, the Op 35 cycle is based on a sixteen-bar binary theme from the finale of the ballet Prometheus (1800/1), a tune Beethoven used also for a Contradanse of the same period (WoO14 No 7), as well as of course, most celebratedly, for the finale of the later 'Eroica' Symphony (1803). In a manner anticipative of the 'Diabelli' Variations, he thinks of this idea essentially as a generating 'thematic unit'. His preoccupation is with the totality of its profile. He is as much concerned with its harmonic underlay, its bass line, as with its melodic foreground – how melody and bass coexist as one and alternate as individuals. It is impossible to miss that predominantly the variations are about the melody, while the introduction ('col Basso del Tema', as Beethoven describes it) and the subject of the fugue a tre are about the bass. When both are united, as in the closing pages (a resumption of the slow variation before the fugue that Beethoven was to turn to again for the 'Eroica'), the combined tension they generate can be simply enormous.
Op 35 is a singular masterpiece: an extraordinary composite of passacaglia, chaconne, variation, fugue, canon, dance, aria, fantasy … a towering edifice of pianistic bravura, of orchestral allusion, of vocal suggestion … a teasing study in the intercourse of modes major, minor and unisonal …

Monmouth has suspended coach King Rice for one game for his actions and comments critical of the officials after a game with Navy.
Marilyn McNeil, Monmouth's vice president and athletic director, announced the suspension on Thursday, a day after Rice was ejected with less than two minutes to play in the Hawks' 85-66 loss.
Rice will miss Monmouth's game at No. 4 Syracuse Saturday.
McNeil said that the university does not condone public criticism of officials, or any sideline behavior that misrepresents the university's commitment to good sportsmanship and respect for all participants.
Rice was ejected after receiving his second technical foul. A former player at North Carolina, Rice is in his second season after replacing Dave Calloway at the Northeast Conference school. Rice and the Hawks went 12-20 last year.
"Here's the problem," Rice was quoted by the Asbury Park Press. "I don't cuss at these guys, they've got a chip on their shoulder towards me."
The newspaper said Rice was specifically referring to officials Brian Dorsey and Steve Ruppenthal.
"Those two officials have a problem with King Rice for some reason," he said, "and they showed it tonight."
Rice apologized Thursday in a statement released by the university.
"I want to apologize to the Monmouth community, and the whole Monmouth athletic department for my comments in the newspaper, and for getting ejected last night," he said. "It was totally out of character for me to make comments about officials. I should have had better control of my emotions. I know that I am not supposed to do that, and it was my mistake. I am deeply sorry and I apologize greatly to my team, our fans and everybody who supports Monmouth men's basketball."
Monmouth (5-4) had a four-game winning streak snapped.

Bach to Rock music school opens in Port Washington
Back to Rock (B2R) in Port Washington boasts a fun, new way for kids to play instruments and learn music. The music school opened it's doors in January and is the Maryland-based company's first franchised location.
B2R's philosophy is based on the knowledge that children learn best when playing music together. Instructors combine individual lessons with band instruction that includes weekly jam sessions, a battle of the bands and eventually, a recording session in the B2R studio. B2R also hosts scheduled public concerts to help musical novices become seasoned performers.
Classes are geared toward musicians of all ages, from toddlers to adults. Individual lessons are recommended for kids ages seven and up and include piano/keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, voice, woodwinds, brass and more. Semiprivate instruction features Rock Band, Glee Club (inspired by the television show), Kids 'N Keys (piano for ages 5-6) and early childhood programs to help little ones become familiar with music.

B2R also throws rock band, karaoke and other music-themed birthday parties. Kids can record songs, play instruments and even bring a CD home with their recordings. Prices start around $400.
Classes are based on 30- or 60-minute sessions starting at $28 and up. For more information, visit b2rmusic.com/portwashington or call 516-441-5526.

I have a HP 3210 all in one.
I have a HP 3210 all in one.
I have a lexmark, does any one know what type of photo paper works best with it?
Hi, just chiming in here with a suggestion to do a hunt on the internet for a study done on life of different papers from different vendors. I've seen it and remember that certain paper brands only have a 2-5 year life in terms of retaining quality of prints. I don't have the URL or else I would post it.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
At GPS printing, they do say that satin paper's life expectancy is lower than matte. I'm going to have to check that out.
You also need to bear in mind that its not just the paper that determines how long the quality lasts - it depends on the ink, and the ink's compatability with the paper too.
That's entirely too much to keep up with Joy One would have to have a book full of entries to keep up with all the different paper types combined with all the different ink types .... I'd go nutso trying to keep up with it all!

Say you have a Control4 home automation system and a Slingbox remote-viewing product.
You're on the road and you want to check in on your house. Easy enough: Just pull up your personal Control4 Web site to check the temperature at your place, play with the lights and check out the surveillance video.
Now you want to watch Dexter, recorded on your home cable box. Close the Control4 window and open the Slingbox window.
What a drag!
Now you can do it all through the Control4 interface, thanks to a new application from integration firm CytexOne.
"We have many clients that live in multiple homes, especially out of the country and they wanted a Slingbox so they could watch their cable box from overseas," says Cytex principal Dan Levine. "We wanted to kick it up a notch by giving them access to their entire [automation] system."
So what's so interesting about that?
Already you can access Control4 (and virtually any respectable home control system) from a remote location ... with this caveat: "You can remotely control the lighting, temperature, alarm and cameras," says Levine, "but not the A/V devices."
So why integrate Control4 with Slingbox? Why not just use Slingbox to access content remotely? That, after all, is the purpose of the box.
For starters, it's pretty handy that consumers can access their home—lights, security and content—remotely through a single familiar Control4 interface.
Furthermore, with Slingbox, users can only access one or two devices.
"They may have five cable boxes," says Levine.
Integrating two devices like Slingbox and Control4 generally is not terribly challenging for a seasoned programmer.
But the tricky part here is that Slingbox is controlled via infrared (IR) signals, and Control4 uses RF.
"Normally, you just send them [Slingbox developer Sling Media] the remote and they copy the IR codes," Levine says. "But Control4 doesn't put out any IR codes."
So Cytex converted the Control4 remote codes to hex and hounded Slingbox to implement them into the Slingbox products. Slingbox relented.
If you have a Control4 system and a Slingbox, tell your integrator to hook you up with this freebie, available from the Cytex Web site.

As part of Art Basel 2012 and Miami Art Week, Etra Fine Art in Miami's Design District, presents a free "Winter Group Show" exhibiting the works of: Rainer Lagemann, Christian Awe, Douglass Freed, Hunt Slonem, and Mario Velez. The free opening reception takes place on Saturday, December 8, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and the exhibit runs through January 11, 2013.
Encapsulating the spirit of Miami, this exhibit represents a microcosm of the variety of art presented to us at the peak of art season.
- The hollow, metal squares that Rainer Lagemann (Germany) uses to sculpt the human form – a framework of the spirit and image of the body.
- The "resurrection of color" that restores emotional drama to abstraction found in Christian Awe's (Berlin) paintings.
- Landscapes by Douglass Freed (US) who names his paintings "structures" where shapes are fitted together to create a coherent whole.
- Works of internationally renowned American artist Hunt Slonem who experiments with a unique method of cross-hatching to texturize his works.
- Colombian artist Mario Velez, a minimalist artist who has been greatly inspired by the Bauhaus approach to design.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Other hours available by appointment. Click here for the Facebook Event Page.
