Live: NVIDIA's CES Press Event
Let's roll.
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang kicks off our official presence at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas tonight.
We won't spoil any of the surprises ' but stay tuned, we'll be live blogging throughout the event. Hit refresh on your browser for updates.
10:10 PM -That's it. Show's over. Applause and folks filing out, getting ready to enjoy the party that's now taking place at this venue.
How it all fits together.
10:09 PM -Shield can also offer a different view on its own five-inch screen than the image that it's streaming to the big screen.
Jen-Hsun's now wrapping up. He's talking about how the cloud can now, at long last, stream not just books. Not just music. Not just videos. But games.
Now you can enjoy PC games that take advantage of our GeForce GTX GPU streamed anywhere in the house.
We'll be able to enjoy video games at any time, on any device. It will usher in the same type of experiences we've enjoyed on music and videos.'
10:05 PM -They show 'Assassin's Creed III' ' a time travel game. It's being streamed from the PC onto Shield, and then onto the big screen ' with 4K clarity. The frame rate is impressive, with great clarity.
Now, Jason calls up the STEAM store and streams that. Everything's now working. Jen-Hsun and Jason are happy. So is the audience.
'You saw Shield enjoy games from two of the most important game stores in the world,' he said. He's referring to Google Play, where you can reach TegraZone, as well as STEAM, whose games can now be enjoyed anywhere in the home.
10:00 PM -Jen-Hsun plays for some time while the engineering guys work on getting the demo going..
'It's the culmination of five years worth of work,' Jen-Hsunsays,
Shield makes a connection to a gaming PC and is streaming 'Need for Speed.' It's going from the PC to Shield to the big screen. Tires are screeching. Cars are swerving. Flashes are popping. The latency is so short it's like a gaming console.
9:57 PM -'So, this is Android the way it's meant to be played,' Jen-Hsun says.
[IMG]http://blogs.nvidia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/p****ethered-300x200.jpg[/IMG]PC gaming, untethered.
But it turns out, this also works with PC games. 'The PC Untethered,' his slide says.
Valve's STEAM service, with its 2,000 titles, is growing like crazy. And its Big Picture interface extends the PC to the big screen. But the question is, how does it get there?
Shield has a third tab that lets you play PC games. The PC demo is struggling a bit right now. It's not coming up on the screenâ?¦.
Ahhh, but now it worksâ?¦.
9:51 PM -Jen-Hsun brings on the CEO of the game company that created 'Hawken' to play in a competition against NVIDIA's Jason Paul, who runs the Shield business.
Jason sets him up and they're going after each other, each on their own Shield device. Lots of explosion, fires and shooting. The crowd's digging it.
'4K video looks pretty darn good.'
9:49 PM -'4K video looks pretty darn good.'
By touching the device's Shield button, gaming options come on screen. He's driving a 4K display playing the game 'Blood Sword.' Next up is a boxing game. 'That's enough of that,' Jen-Hsun said.
What else can it do, Jen-Hsun asks? Multiplayer games is one thing.
9:45 PM -He shows now the first time a 4K video comes off a mobile device onto a big screen. 'No way,' shouts someone in the audience.
9:43 PM -All of your apps, all your content, all your games just show up on the device.
He sits down in a living room setting on stage, hooks it up to a 4K LG television. He shows how the controller lets you enjoy music ' he plays Alicia Keys, singing 'This Girl is on Fire.'
Now, he's showing how it plays movies.
H shows it with Facebook, of course.
Meet Project Shield.
9:42 PM -Jen-Hsun holds Project Shield in his hand. Flash bulbs are bursting all over the room.
9:40 PM -So Shield is the first implementation of the Tegra 4 processor. It's packed with batteries giving 5-10 hours of gameplay; if you're watching video, it gives 24 hours of play. It has a great sound system that uses a bass reflex system that extends its low-end frequency capabilities ' it has twice the capability of an HP laptop with Beats audio. It has a console-grade game controller, with great buttons, joysticks, bumpers and the rest.

9:35 PM -He shows a very, very edgy video of a gaming portable being put together. There's loud, pulsating music behind. The reveal is a device that draws lots of applause.
'Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Project Shield.'
9:33 PM -Next-gen gamers play across genres, across platforms, wherever they want. Two huge platforms for games are PC and Android.
'Our feeling is that PC games and Android games will continue to flourish, but there's a way for us to help gamers enjoy games even better. We're the only company in the world with the technology and dedication to build devices that can allow us to enjoy games in a very different way.
'Our engineers are gamers, too. So I'd like to share with you something.,â?¦'
9:31 PM -'Something New' appears on the screen. 'I hope you're surprised by this. If you're not, I'm going to be surprised.'
9:30 PM -He wraps up Tegra 4. And is building up to a new announcementâ?¦.
A new kind of modem.
9:28 PM -Jen-Hsun is now talking about Icera, a soft-modem company, which NVIDIA bought 18 months ago. We're soon going to be sampling our first modem, the i500, which runs 3G, 4g, helped by eight processors that deliver 1.2 trillion operations per second. The math it does is specific to mobile communications. This months, we're going to start sampling it. The benefits of its technology are evident in comparing it to a state of the art existing modem. But the i500 is only 40 percent of its size.
9:23PM -Tegra 4, he said, also has huge benefits for video games. NVIDIA's TegraZone, which serves up games that are optimized for Tegra, has now been downloaded six million times.
9:22 -Tegra 4, he said, also has huge benefits for video games. NVIDIA's TegraZone, which serves up games that are optimized for Tegra, has now been downloaded six million times.
9:21 PM -Tegra 4, he said, also has huge benefits for video games. NVIDIA's TegraZone, which serves up games that are optimized for Tegra, has now been downloaded six million times.
Smarter processor, better camera.
9:18 PM -Jen-Hsun says that with Tegra 4's Always On HDR Camera, you can take HDR video, flash pictures or in burst mode. That wasn't available before.
'The future of computational photography is really promising. It will turn your camera into a device that can take pictures far beyond what DSLR cameras can.' It will be able to do HDR Panorama shots, strobe motion, 3d reconstruction shots and object tracking (so that it always stays in focus).
9:16 PM -Jen-Hsun now talking about how HDR ' high-dynamic range'photography works. It involves a lot of math. It takes 2 seconds on an iPhone 5. But Tegra 4 takes the pics simultaneously, and then all processors are deployed to do the alignment in real time. Thus, with whatever photo you can take with one-exposure, you can take in HDR.
So, he does a demo. He moves to a scene that evokes Tahiti. There's a woman on stage named Holly, in an exotic Tahitian dress, with a matching flower in her hair. Her name is Holly and she likes Star Wars games!

9:10 PM ' NVIDIA's Tegra 4 architecture does HDR in a different way. We put our processors closer to the imaging pipeline. We take two shots at once ' one with high exposure, one with light exposure. Then we dump it into a computational engine which takes advantage of all the chip's processors to do the necessary math so quickly that, at the end of the hsot, you have HDR.
9:05 PM ' He shows a picture of NVIDIA's Bea Longworth standing before a window. She's in focus, but the background's washed out. There's another that shows Bea very dark with the background looking good. He shows how with iPhone 5, even though there's HDR technology, the resulting image has extraneous artifacts.
9:04 PM ' Okay, so loading web pages is fast ' it's 3.5x faster ' but it's only one application, he says.
Now, he talks about his European vacation over the summer and the frustrations of taking high-dynamic range photos. 'In life, you only get one shot. There are so many experiences where we only get one shotâ?¦.Our cameras today on phones really need to be improved.'
9:02 PM -He shows on screen a footrace between the two loading pages. The Tegra 4 tablet takes 24 seconds to load 25 unique web pages. It takes the Nexus 10 twice as long.
'All this means is that if you're loading a web page with Tegra 4, it comes up just like that.' Tegra 4, he said, is the fastest application processor in the world.
9:01 PM -Jen_Hsun asks, how much performance do you need in a mobile chip? Plenty is the answer. But he notes that for all its power, it's super efficient.
So, how fast does fast have to be? Why aren't we fast enough at this point?
To answer that, he brings out the fastest Android tablet. He compares Samsung Next 10 to a Tegra 4 tablet and puts them in a footrace to load web pages.
8:58 PM -Jen-Hsun puts up a slide showing Tegra 2, the first-dual core system on a chip, and Tegra 3, the first quadcore system on a chip.
Now fortified with LTE.
Today, we're announcing, Tegra 4 ' it has 72 GPUs cores, and four ARM A15 CPU cores. It also comes with an optional chipset that enables 4G LTE.
8:57 PM -GRID required architecting a new GPU, all the system software, and the client software, Jen-Hsun said. He thanks the engineers who have been working for years to make this possible.
8:54 PM ' NVIDIA GRID is our first integrated system product, which we're selling to partners who sell their service to telcos. There are six partner companies ' Agawai, Cloud Union, Cyber Cloud, G-cluster, Playcast, Ubitus ' from a number of different countries.
Cloud gaming, Jen-Hsun said, is an industry that's about to take off.
8:53 PM ' Andrew shows how he can play the game on his notebook, picking up the game he was playing from the smart TV. He says it's just like Kindle books and picking up a chapter you left earlier.
Meet NVIDIA Grid.
8:50 PM - The GRID system looks like an office tower with a row of vertical stack of green, glowing rectangles.
Up to the stage comes NVIDIAn Andrew Fear, who works on GRID. He takes a controller, with a hard-line connection to a smart LG TV. Andrew's playing a fantasy game on stage, involving a guy with a magic wand. It's a beautifully rendered image of a fantasy world. This complex game is being streamed from the cloud.
Andrew says he likes this because he could take it on the road with him. He could launch GRID from an Android tablet that has a GRID app.
8:47 PM ' He shows a glossy pick of an NVIDIA GRID server, packed full of GPUs. Initially, each computing node will support 24 users, not just one like today. That's with a computer the size of a desktop.
A GRID rack has 20 GRID servers, with 240 GPUs, with 200 Tflops. That's equivalent to 700 Xbox 360 systems. But those would consume five times more powerful and take up far, far more space.
8:45 PM ' There are four problems we had to solve:
I'm delighted to introduce you today to NVIDIA's first integrated product: NVIDIA GRID.
Jen-Hsun explains how gaming is moving to the cloud.
8:44 PM ' Why has cloud computing left video games behind? The reason is that it's a unique medium. Each and every single frame of a 3D graphics application was computed right then and there. It's not like a pre-recorded movie. The application of 3D graphics involves synthesizing the world with every single frame. The game play, the AI, the physics ' it's all computed in real time for every single frame, at 30-plus frames a second.
8:41 PM -Jen-Hsun shifts gears to talk about the cloud, and the rise of cloud computing. Jen-Hsun says his first exposure to cloud computing was Hotmail in mid-1990s, but it's been growing like crazy ever since. We can now deliver services far more cost effectively as the cost of storage and broadband have plummeted. There's no question, this is the best way to use a computer. Generally, you don't have to even install software anymore
8:40 PM -So, this gives the simplicity of a game console with the performance of a PC. 'This has never been done before and we're incredibly proud of it.'
8:38 PM -Now, Jen-Hsun shows a video of Call of Duty, showing it with the standard out-of-the-box settings. It looks pretty fun and incredibly playable. Now, he shows a video of clicking 'optimize' and it looks dramatically better. Textures are higher res, rendering is higher res.
8:37 PM -Here's how it works: We understand the settings and know the performance characteristics of every GPU, CPU combo in the world. We have great gamers who determine the best settings for every game. As a result, GeForce Experience will automatically put the best settings in for every game.
8:35 PM -PC game settings are a blessing, but they're also a curse. Technologies are so confusing. How can a game player understand how to play at their best? It's nearly impossible to find the best setting. Fact of the matter is, it's very unlikely for game players to figure out the best configurations. So, we went off and tried to characterize every setting in the world, and every game. Through lots of work, we came up with a technology that makes it possible to determine the settings in your game. Seven years later, after hundreds of man-years of work, we have GeForce Experience.
8:30 PM-Free to play games now represent the fastest growing sector. League of Legends is a phenomenon like no other. Gamers are creating their own content, bringing great innovation. But as wonderful as the PC industry is, it's chaotic. A high-end PC is 15x more powerful than a game console. There are hundreds, thousands of configurations that a PC can have.
8:28 PM -PC gaming is thriving. Call of Duty Black Ops 2 made a half billion dollars in 24 hours. No movie has ever rivaled that. Two weeks later, it did a billion dollars. One single genre of video games ' MMO ' does $13B in revenue. NFL, by comparison, does $9B.
8:26 PM -In 10 years, everything has changed. Your digital device can enjoy movies, books, music. Everything has changed. Ironically, this change hasn't included the single largest entertainment industry, video games, which aren't yet untethered. So, the question is, what technologies need to be invented to make this possible. Today, we're going to talk about making this giant step forward.
Jen-Hsun Huang takes the stage.
8:25 PM -Let's get started, he says. So much has changed. It started with the iPod, which made it possible to take music everywhere. Several years later, Amazon introduced the Kindle in a convenient way. After that, we started streaming video to anything with a processor inside.
8:23 PM-Now we've got some action. Music's pumping hard. Jen-Hsun Huang assumes the stage. He's got his trademark black jacket on, with some black-leather patches. More cheering than you hear at most press conferences. It's coming from a group of gamers who won an NVIDIA competition and are evidently pretty delighted to be here.
8:20 PM- Okay, at this point it's SRO, a bit of tussling for prime seats. Lots of seven-inch tablets in the crowd, interestinglyâ?¦.In any event, the music's picking up. The beginning is near.
8:12 PM- And the doors have openedâ?¦ Fairly orderly scramble for chairs. Seating's on three, tiered levels, looking out on a black stage about half the size of a tennis court. This is a Vegas nightclub but the attendees are a bit more caz, a bit less slickly groomed, a bit less decked out than the nightlife here.
8 PM ' We're in a cavernous nightclub called Rain, at the Palms Hotel. Walls are black, as you'd expect, but the lights are NVIDIA lime green. There's a massive screen with falling, 3D geometric shapes, looking like shattered icicles and windscreens.
7:58 PM- If you don't want to read along, you can watch our event live. Check out this link
7:55 PM- Less than 10 minutes and there are a good 300-plus folks waiting to get inside. Doors should be opening imminently.

'We're in charge and these are our streets'
Posted: January 26, 2013|
LITTLE over a week after Burton awoke to the biggest anti-drugs operation in the town's history, officers were back on the streets in force yesterday.
Mail reporter TIM FLETCHER and photographer SIMON DEACON joined Staffordshire Police in their latest attempt to target the town's drug trade.
IF Operation Nemesis – Ring Of Steel sounds like a high-octane movie sequel, Burton's top cop is on hand to provide a speech straight out of Hollywood.
Chief Inspector Steve Maskrey, commander of East Staffordshire local policing team, is briefing the 30 officers about to embark on the latest phase of the town's anti-drugs tour de force.
He hails the success of the most dramatic phase of the operation, which resulted in 16 people being brought before the courts and removed those he says 'wreaked havoc on our streets for months', and says today's initiative is about ensuring fresh dealers aren't allowed to enter the breach.
"We are here today to make sure those people who come into East Staffordshire intent on committing crime get the message that they're not welcome here," he says.
"If there are people coming in and thinking they're going to fill the void, the message is: 'No you're not – we are'."
He tells the officers: "Enjoy yourself out there. The public want you there and they enjoy us being there. So spread the word – we are in charge and these are our streets."
After Sgt Bob Champeau, who has spent two months planning this phase of the operation, assigns patrols to locations around the town, it's time to hit the streets.
First destination - Burton Railway Station, where commuters idly waiting for the delayed 11.21 to Birmingham appear slightly startled by the sudden arrival of nine police officers, a portable metal detector and a mobile police station on the car park.
Sergeant Kath Taylor, from the force's tactical planning unit, tells the Mail: "We're here to provide high-visibility reassurance to people passing through the station, to show that the police are out in numbers in Burton and making people feel safe.
"And if there are any bad guys in among these people, we will deal with them."
Among the waiting passengers is young Pole Sebastian Borowiec who, along with his girlfriend, consents to be searched after his demeanour apparently raises the suspicions of officers, although no drugs are found.
"It was quite a surprise and a bit scary, even when you don't have any drugs," he tells the Mail. "But they've been okay with us and if something like this means bad people are going to jail, it has to be a good thing."
On to Stapenhill, where, after a patrol's automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera picks up a van with no insurance, the vehicle is found to contain around £300 worth of cannabis vegetation, scales and tools used to grind down the drug for use.
The driver has come by his illicit stash as a direct result of last week's Nemesis raids, according to PC Mick Barnett, of the force's road policing team.
He says: "This individual said that because of last week's operation, he was offered the cannabis cheap, as the dealer wanted to get rid of it."
The man is arrested, later released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Back at the police station, a taxi driver has been apprehended, the result of intelligence received that Burton drug dealers had been using town cabs to ferry around narcotics.
PC Adam Wood says: "The driver was stopped and asked if his vehicle could be checked. He was acting suspiciously and there was a smell of cannabis."
As the driver is taken away for a strip search, his car is 'swabbed' using a high-tech £20,000 scanner capable of detecting a variety of controlled drugs.
While no such trace is found, as the Mail goes to press the driver remains in custody pending further enquiries.
With four arrests, eight fixed penalty notices issues and 12 vehicles seized, the force is in no doubt that the operation has been a success.
And if nothing else, another high-profile, high-visibility effort ensures that the anti-drugs message is one that cannot be ignored.

|Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson said he
might seek the Libertarian Party's support
© AFP/POOL/File Phelan M. Ebenhack
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Disgruntled former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson says he is considering leaving the Republican slate and running as a third-party candidate in the 2012 presidential election.
"I feel abandoned by the Republican Party," Johnson, who has been left out of most of the Republican debates, told the Sante Fe New Mexican newspaper this week, saying he might seek the Libertarian Party's support.
"The Republican Party has left me by the wayside," said Johnson, whose polling numbers have recently been so low that they are often not even being picked up by pollsters.
While the Libertarians are on the ballot in every state, Johnson acknowledged that the party, which espouse freedom of expression and action, had never received more than one percent of the nationwide vote.
Johnson, 58, holds dear libertarian values such as low taxes and limited government and wants to legalize marijuana. He is also a fitness fanatic, having competed in a number of "Ironman" triathlons and climbed Mount Everest.
Ex-Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich are currently topping the polls of Republican candidates trying to unseat President Barack Obama in November 2012.
The months-long state-by-state voting process that will decide the nominee begins on January 3 in Iowa.

Susquehanna Historian's New Book Examines Cultural Origins Of Nazism
Published on November 5, 2013
A new book by Susquehanna University Associate Professor of History David Imhoof reveals the ways in which ordinary Germans changed their cultural lives and their politics from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s.
"Becoming a Nazi Town: Culture and Politics in Göttingen Between the World Wars" (University of Michigan Press, 2013) uses the example of a mid-sized German city to offer a new explanation for where Nazism came from and why Germans supported it so significantly.
"It's hard to talk about how these things changed at the national level, because we experience political and cultural change at the local level, the street level," says Imhoof.
Casting the origins of Nazism in a new light, Imhoof draws a connection between cultural activities and the rise of the Nazis by looking at three examples of everyday cultural life in Göttingen: sharpshooting, an opera festival and cinema.
"The Nazi party was able to draw on cultural traditions already in place," he explains. "It gave them a much broader base of support for the party. Politics were divisive, politics caused problems. But activities like sharpshooting were something they could all get behind. That was something about which the Nazi party would say, 'This is Germany. This is what we need.'"
"Nazism was able to flourish because the party reshaped things that had already started. It wasn't something that came down from the top; it bubbled up from the bottom and Berlin was very good at building on it."
His research demonstrates how the Third Reich was able to accomplish what it did, including persecuting Jews and other so-called "state enemies." Imhoof shows that the Third Reich did change Germany, but with the help of average Germans.

Damaging rock snot infesting the Delaware River
Posted By Todd B. Bates On May 3, 2012 @ 12:13 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Four years ago, I wrote an in-depth story about "rock snot," an invasive, ecologically damaging species of algae that threatened to spread from New York state into New Jersey.
Well, rock snot has spread with a vengeance in the Delaware River [1], reaching as far south as the Dingman's Ferry Bridge area so far, according to a Delaware River Basin Commission statement.
Didymosphenia geminata, AKA didymo, does not threaten public health, according to the statement. But its thick mats can crowd out or smother other algae growing on the riverbed, altering the ecosystem.
Rock snot can also latch onto fishing equipment, especially felt-soled boots, and spread into nearby streams or rivers, according to the statement.
The state Department of Environmental Protection first warned about the rock snot threat [2] in 2008.
If you go fishing or boating in the Delaware this year, you can and should take steps to try limit the rock snot invasion [3].

Air Jamaica plans to start transitioning its operations to Caribbean Airlines on 12 April ahead of the sale of Air Jamaica to Trinidad's and Tobago's flag carrier.
The Jamaican government has been negotiating a sale exclusively with Caribbean since January after negotiators failed to reach an agreement with US investment firms Indigo Partners and Oaktree Capital.
Last month the Jamaican government said it did not intend to provide financial support to Air Jamaica after its current fiscal year ends in March. The government has been trying to re-privatise Air Jamaica since 2008.
As the Jamaican government works to close the transaction with Caribbean, Air Jamaica CEO Bruce Nobles has advised employees that the carrier's staff will be made redundant when the deal is completed.
But some staff could be re-hired on a contract basis for a period of time to ensure a seamless transition of Air Jamaica's operations to Caribbean, says Nobles.
Air Jamaica has been slowly cutting aircraft and routes since the government undertook its efforts to re-privatise the carrier. As of 12 April it will operate six aircraft -- one Airbus A319, one A321 and four A320s. This month the carrier is cutting flights from New York JFK-Grenada and Montego Bay-Orlando, Florida, followed by the elimination of flights from Montego Bay to Chicago, Curacao and Havana in April. Air Jamaica's flights from Kingston to Havana and Nassau also end in April.
Following these cuts, the airline's network will consist of five international destinations: Fort Lauderdale, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Toronto.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26, 2007 The improved security environment in Iraq is creating conditions that promote the large-scale infrastructure projects under way to support Iraq's security forces, a defense official in Iraq told online journalists and "bloggers" today.
Navy Cmdr. Patrick Mack, deputy engineer for Multinational Security Transition Command Iraq, noted marked security improvements, particularly since August.
He noted that when he arrived in Iraq in March, security problems hindered MNSTCI's efforts to develop or renovate sites for Iraq's police, national police, army and border patrol forces. Material being shipped to work sites was frequently interdicted, and workers were intimidated by insurgents "not necessarily interested in stabilization of that particular region," Mack said.
Now, with better security conditions, MNSTCI's work is moving full steam ahead, and the Iraqis are beginning to take control of paying for their own construction, he said.
Mack reported about 170 active projects under way throughout Iraq, and delivery of $5.4 billion in infrastructure projects since the effort began in 2004. Working with their Iraqi counterparts, MNSTCI completes about 10 police stations a month, as well as a new base for the Iraqi army every quarter.
"So it's been a substantial engagement" with the Iraqi Defense and Interior ministries, Mack said.
Mack said he's gratified to see the Iraqi ministries get more actively involved in providing facilities for their security forces – from identifying what's needed, to planning and arranging payment for it, to building a maintenance capability to sustain it.
These deliveries, and enhanced engagement with the Iraqi ministries, are paying off "in increased through-put of capabilities" in the Iraqi army and police forces, he said.
Meanwhile, Mack said, the drop in violence is giving the ministries and the Iraqi people overall the ability to look beyond immediate concerns to what's ahead.
"As you gain some advances in security, it gives those folks an ability to focus on the future," he said. "It allows you to focus on the business at hand."

NMSU VP/Provost To Step Down
By Edmundo Resendez
New Mexico State University executive vice president and provost Wendy Wilkins is stepping down.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that NMSU interim President Manuel Pacheco announced Tuesday that Wilkins will be replaced by Jay Jordan, a former NMSU administrator.
Officials say Wilkins, who started at the university in July 2010, will remain on annual leave at NMSU until Jan. 1, when she'll retire.
Wilkins was hired by former NMSU president Barbara Couture, who parted ways herself with the school in late September.
Wilkins carried out the president's administrative duties until Pacheco was named as the interim campus leader a couple of weeks later.
Jordan previously served as interim provost and executive vice president.

Comments about BLACK DIAMOND Stopper Set:
This is a great set of starter nuts. Plus, you get a racking carabiner! I have a set of DMM Wallnuts that complement the BD set. The Wallnuts don't come with a racking carabiner.
The Wallnuts have a dimple on the rear face that makes them sit much better in imperfect constrictions. The Wallnuts are lighter. You also get a wider range of sizes with the Wallnut set, especially on the larger side. The Wallnuts are harder to clean, especially in the small sizes.
The BD Stoppers don't find as many placements in pebbled constrictions, but are uniformly easier to clean.
The reason why you need both sets: The main profile (wide, solid face) of the Wallnuts are much more curved. The side profile of the Wallnuts is much more tapered. You'll find places to put both.
My recommendation is to start with both sets and put all the small sizes on one carabiner and all the large sizes on another carabiner.

Comments about BLACK DIAMOND Stopper Set:
I use these for racking my cams (color coded rack pack of these) and for my alpine draws. They rack very well, having a very slim profile. They clip fine (not too small like BD Neutrinos/CAMP Nanos) and you get some weight savings vs the Hoodwire.
As others have said, the listed weight is actually much lighter than it really is. You only save a couple grams vs Hoodwires. If you already have Hoodwires, don't bother "upgrading" as the weight savings is minimal.
If you have solid (keylock) gates, I'd say upgrade to reduce the amount of gate flutter and weight. If you have wiregates or solid, nonkeylocked gates, I'd say upgrade. The hoodwires, like WC Heliums, reduce the chance of nose-hooking. BD QC lab results show that nose-hooked (either by hanger or sling) carabiners fail at around 10% of their full rating.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
21:1-8 The new heaven and the new earth will not be separate from each other; the earth of the saints, their glorified, bodies, will be heavenly. The old world, with all its troubles and tumults, will have passed away. There will be no sea; this aptly represents freedom from conflicting passions, temptations, troubles, changes, and alarms; from whatever can divide or interrupt the communion of saints. This new Jerusalem is the church of God in its new and perfect state, the church triumphant. Its blessedness came wholly from God, and depends on him. The presence of God with his people in heaven, will not be interrupt as it is on earth, he will dwell with them continually. All effects of former trouble shall be done away. They have often been in tears, by reason of sin, of affliction, of the calamities of the church; but no signs, no remembrance of former sorrows shall remain. Christ makes all things new. If we are willing and desirous that the gracious Redeemer should make all things new in order hearts and nature, he will make all things new in respect of our situation, till he has brought us to enjoy complete happiness. See the certainty of the promise. God gives his titles, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, as a pledge for the full performance. Sensual and sinful pleasures are muddy and poisoned waters; and the best earthly comforts are like the scanty supplies of a cistern; when idolized, they become broken cisterns, and yield only vexation. But the joys which Christ imparts are like waters springing from a fountain, pure, refreshing, abundant, and eternal. The sanctifying consolations of the Holy Spirit prepare for heavenly happiness; they are streams which flow for us in the wilderness. The fearful durst not meet the difficulties of religion, their slavish fear came from their unbelief; but those who were so dastardly as not to dare to take up the cross of Christ, were yet so desperate as to run into abominable wickedness. The agonies and terrors of the first death will lead to the far greater terrors and agonies of eternal death.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 1. - And I saw. The usual introduction to a new vision (cf. Revelation 20:11, etc.). Having described the origin and progress of evil in the world, the final overthrow of Satan and his adherents, and the judgment when every man is rewarded according to his works, the seer now completes the whole by portraying the eternal bliss of the redeemed in heaven (cf. on Revelation 20:10). The description is based upon Isaiah 60. and Ezekiel 40, et seq.; especially the latter, which follows the account of God and Magog, as does this. A new heaven and a new earth. The dispute as to whether a new creation is intended, or a revivified earth, seems to be founded on the false assumption that the dwellers in heaven must be localized in space (cf. Isaiah 65:17, "I create new heavens and a new earth;" also Isaiah 66:22; 2 Peter 3:13). For the first heaven and the first earth were passed away. The Revisers follow B and others in reading ἀπῆλθον, and render it by the English perfect tense. In א, A, is read ἀπῆλθαν, while other manuscripts give ἀπῆλθεν and παρῆλθε. The first heaven and earth; that is, those now existing pass away as described in Revelation 20:11. And there was no more sea; and the sea no longer exists. The threefold division of heaven, earth, and sea represents the whole of this world (cf. Revelation 10:6). Some interpret the sea symbolically of the restless, unstable, wicked nations of the earth, which now exist no longer; others understand the absence of sea to typify the absence of instability and wickedness in the New Jerusalem.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth,.... This vision relates to a glorious state of the church, not in the times of the apostles, or first dispensation of the Gospel; when the old Jewish church state, with its ordinances, rites, and ceremonies, passed away, and a new church state, a new dispensation, new ordinances, and a new people, took place; and when saints came not to Mount Sinai, but to Mount Sion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and when God tabernacled and dwelt with men in particular churches and congregations; and the curse of the law and the sting of death were taken away by Christ, and there was no condemnation to them that were in him; which is the sense of some: but death did not then cease, it has reigned over men in common ever since, in a natural way, and immediately upon that dispensation arose persecution unto death, both by Jews and Gentiles; and for the first three hundred years, instead death being no more, and sorrow and sighing fleeing away, there was scarce anything else: nor can it be said that there was no temple, or places of pubic worship, or that the church had no need of the sun and moon of the Gospel and Gospel ordinances then, since these have continued ever since, and will to the end of the world; nor did the kings of the earth bring their honour and glory into that church state in any sense, but set themselves against it, and endeavoured to destroy it; nor were the churches even of that age so pure as here described, Revelation 21:27 many persons both of bad principles and bad practices crept into them; there were tares among the wheat, goats among the sheep, and foolish virgins with the wise: nor does this vision refer to the times of Constantine, when the old Pagan idolatry was removed out of the empire, and the Christian religion was revived, and came to be in a flourishing condition, and a new face of things appeared, and Christianity was embraced and honoured by the emperor, and the great men of the earth; there was not that purity as in this state; the Christian doctrine and worship were soon corrupted, being mixed with Judaism and Paganism; a flood of errors was brought in by Arius, Eutychius, Nestorius, Macedonius, and Pelagius, and others; yea, doctrines of devils, and which at length issued in a general apostasy, and in the revelation of the man of sin; nor was there that peace and comfort, and freedom from evils, as from death, pain, and sorrow; witness the Arian persecution, the incursions of the Goths and Vandals into the empire, and the inhuman butcheries and numerous massacres and murders of the Popish party since. Nor has this vision anything to do with the conversion and restoration of the Jews, when they will become a new people, quit their old principles and modes of worship, and there will be no more among them the sea of corrupt doctrine, respecting the Messiah, the works of the law, &c. for this will be over before this vision takes place, as appears from the 19th chapter: nor does it belong to the spiritual reign of Christ, which will be in the present earth, whereas this glorious state of the church will be in the new heavens and new earth; that will be at the sounding of the seventh trumpet, and in the Philadelphian church state, this will not be till prophetic time and antichristian times will be no more, when the mystery of God will be finished, and after the Laodicean state is at an end; in that there will be public worship, the ministry of the word, and administration of ordinances, but not in this; and though there will be then great spirituality and holiness, yet not in perfection, nor will the churches be clear of hypocrites and nominal professors, and will at last sink into a Laodicean state. Nor is this vision to be interpreted of the church triumphant in heaven, or of the ultimate glory of the saints there; since the new Jerusalem here described descends from heaven, that is, to earth, where the saints will reign with Christ; and since the church is represented as a bride, prepared and adorned for her husband, but not as yet at the entrance of this state, delivered up to him; and since the tabernacle of God is said to be with men, that is, on earth; and this dwelling of God with them is as in a tabernacle, which is movable, and seems to be distinct from the fixed state of the saints in the ultimate glory; to which may be added, that in this state, Christ, as King of saints, will be peculiarly and distinctly glorified, whereas in the ultimate one, when the kingdom is delivered to the Father, God will be all in all: this therefore is to be understood of the glorious state of the church during the thousand years of Satan's binding, and the saints' living and reigning with Christ; the holy city, and new Jerusalem, is the same with the beloved city in Revelation 20:9 what is there briefly hinted, is here largely described and insisted on; this will be the time and state when the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven, will first meet together, and be brought to Christ, and be presented by him to himself a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, and Christ will reign gloriously among them: the seat of this church state will be the "new heaven" and "new earth" which John saw, and which are the same that Peter speaks of, in which dwelleth righteousness, or in which righteous persons only dwell, 2 Peter 3:13 for as the first heaven and earth both here and there are to be understood literally, so in like manner the new heaven and new earth; which will be new, not with respect to the substance, but their qualities; they will be renewed, or purged from everything that is disagreeable, and is the effect of the sin of man; the first heaven and earth were made chiefly for men, but, on account of the sin of man, the earth was cursed, and brought forth thorns and thistles, and both the earth and air, or the heaven, were attended with noxious vapours, &c. and the whole creation was made subject to vanity and corruption; from all which they will be cleared at the general conflagration, and a new earth and heaven will appear, fit for the habitation of the second Adam, and his posterity, for the space of a thousand years. So the Jews speak of new heavens, as "renewed" ones, which are the secrets of sublime wisdom (o): and they say (p), that the holy blessed God will renew his world a thousand years, and that in the seventh millennium there will be new heavens and a new earth (q):
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; not those in Revelation 20:11 but the heaven and the earth which were first made, which passed away, as Peter also says, adding, with a great noise; meaning not as to their substance, but as to their form, fashion, and qualities:
and there was no more sea; which may be understood either as to the being of it; it was "exhausted", as the Ethiopic version renders it, being dried up by the conflagration; see Amos 7:4 and if Mr. Burnet's hypothesis can be supported, that the paradisiacal earth, or the earth fore the flood, was without a sea, that being made, with the mountains and hills, by the falling of the surface of the earth into the waters under it, there is a surprising agreement between that earth and this new one; but the Alexandrian copy reads, "and I saw the sea no more"; it might be in being, though John saw it not and since, at the end of the thousand years, the sea will give up the dead which are in it, it must be in being, unless it can be interpreted of the place where the sea was: wherefore it seems best to understand it with respect to its use and qualities; and that as the heaven and earth will pass away, not as to their substance, but quality, so in like manner the sea will be no more used for navigation, nor may it be a tumultuous and raging one, or have its flux and reflux, or its waters be salt, as now; the schoolmen say it will no more be a fluid, but will be consolidated into the globe as the sphere; and, in a mystical sense, there will be no more wicked men; tumultuous and turbulent men are like the troubled sea, that cannot rest, Isaiah 57:20 for in the new heavens and earth only righteous persons will dwell, 2 Peter 3:13.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Re 21:1-27. The New Heaven and Earth: New Jerusalem Out of Heaven.
The remaining two chapters describe the eternal and consummated kingdom of God and the saints on the new earth. As the world of nations is to be pervaded by divine influence in the millennium, so the world of nature shall be, not annihilated, but transfigured universally in the eternal state which follows it. The earth was cursed for man's sake; but is redeemed by the second Adam. Now is the Church; in the millennium shall be the kingdom; and after that shall be the new world wherein God shall be all in all. The "day of the Lord" and the conflagration of the earth are in 2Pe 3:10, 11 spoken of as if connected together, from which many argue against a millennial interval between His coming and the general conflagration of the old earth, preparatory to the new; but "day" is used often of a whole period comprising events intimately connected together, as are the Lord's second advent, the millennium, and the general conflagration and judgment. Compare Ge 2:4 as to the wide use of "day." Man's soul is redeemed by regeneration through the Holy Spirit now; man's body shall be redeemed at the resurrection; man's dwelling-place, His inheritance, the earth, shall be redeemed perfectly at the creation of the new heaven and earth, which shall exceed in glory the first Paradise, as much as the second Adam exceeds in glory the first Adam before the fall, and as man regenerated in body and soul shall exceed man as he was at creation.
1. the first—that is the former.
passed away—Greek, in A and B is "were departed" (Greek, "apeelthon," not as in English Version, "pareelthe").
was—Greek, "is," which graphically sets the thing before our eyes as present.
no more sea—The sea is the type of perpetual unrest. Hence our Lord rebukes it as an unruly hostile troubler of His people. It symbolized the political tumults out of which "the beast" arose, Re 13:1. As the physical corresponds to the spiritual and moral world, so the absence of sea, after the metamorphosis of the earth by fire, answers to the unruffled state of solid peace which shall then prevail. The sea, though severing lands from one another, is now, by God's eliciting of good from evil, made the medium of communication between countries through navigation. Then man shall possess inherent powers which shall make the sea no longer necessary, but an element which would detract from a perfect state. A "river" and "water" are spoken of in Re 22:1, 2, probably literal (that is, with such changes of the natural properties of water, as correspond analogically to man's own transfigured body), as well as symbolical. The sea was once the element of the world's destruction, and is still the source of death to thousands, whence after the millennium, at the general judgment, it is specially said, "The sea gave up the dead … in it." Then it shall cease to destroy, or disturb, being removed altogether on account of its past destructions.

DoTerra Essential Oil Blend
On Guard™
Protective Blend
On Guard™ is dōTERRA®'s unique, proprietary blend formulated to support healthy immune function. Wild orange essential oil, combined with clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary offer a fragrant, natural and effective alternative to synthetic options for immune support. On Guard, with its unique aroma, is one of our most versatile blends. It is also safe to use on counter tops, as a non-toxic way to cleanse surfaces, or to purify the atmosphere by diffusing. On Guard is superb for eliminating and controlling pathogens due to the potency of its constituents
In university-based testing, the On Guard blend was found to have a 99.96% effective kill-rate against airborne bacteria. It has proven itself to be highly effective in supporting the immune system and general good health.
Diffusing OnGuard® into the air aids eliminating germs and bacteria brought home
Stephanie had an incredible experience with On Guard getting rid of the flu for one of her children and it helped prevent the rest of her family from getting sick
A Surefire Way to Knock Out a Cold
One of the greatest benefits of essential oils is the many ways to quickly kick the common cold. Here's a surefire way to stop that cold when you start to feel it coming on.
Add the following to an empty gel capsule & take twice a day
- 3 drops of Oregano
- 4 drops of On Guard
- 4 drops of Peppermint
(Can get empty capsules at any health food store, generally $3-$5 for 100)
Lemony Immune-Boosting Tonic w/ On-Guard
- The juice of one organic lemon – I usually try to get big ones
- 1-2 tsp. organic maple syrup (you could use honey or agave nectar as well)
- 2 drops of On-Guard essential oil
- 12-16 oz. hot water
- mix ingredients together in a hot beverage mug and enjoy! I think it would also taste good and be effective with room temperature or cool water in the summertime.
I drink this first thing in the morning. Even when I spend the night away from home, I bring the ingredients with me. It is very soothing and satisfying to me. I feel energized after I drink it. Could it replace your morning cup of coffee? Drinking fresh lemon juice upon awakening is also a known health tonic in Ayurvedic (a traditional health system founded in India long ago) texts to alkalize and cleanse the system. Yes, lemon juice is very alkaline in the body even though it is known as an acidic fruit. Adding the drops of On-Guard to the drink gives an added boost to my immune system.
Top Uses for dōTERRA's On Guard™ Essential Oil Blend
Mix with a tbsp of water, gargle for 1 minute then swallow at the on-set of a sore throat.
Put on the soles of children's feet at night during cold & flu season to support immune system (be sure to put cotton socks on after applying the oil).
Put several drops in a bowl of hot – hot water and breathe in the vapors as it begins to volatilize when you have lung congestion
Put 50 drops in a spray bottle with 30 oz of distilled water. Shake often and use to sanitize kitchen and bathroom surfaces (cleans great too)
Add to your dishwasher for micro clean dishes
Gargle and brush daily for healthy teeth and gums and to prevent and treat gum disease
Diffuse in homes or business to kill air borne pathogens, inhibit mold and build immune systems.
Spray in public restrooms on airplanes to reduce airborne bacteria.

With the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature of network and dial-up connections, you can use Windows to connect your home network or small office network to the Internet. For example, you may have a home network that connects to the Internet by using a dial-up connection. By enabling ICS on the computer that uses the dial-up connection, you are providing network address translation, addressing, and name resolution services for all computers on your home network.
To enable ICS on a network connection:
IMPORTANT: You should not use this feature on a computer running DNS server or DHCP server or a Windows domain controller. When you enable ICS, the network adapter connected to the home or small office network is given a new static IP address configuration. Existing TCP/IP connections on the CS computer are lost and need to be re-established.
Configuration and Usage IssuesThe ICS feature is intended for use in a small office or home office in which the network configuration and the Internet connection are managed by the Windows-based computer on which the shared connection resides. It is assumed that on its network, this computer is the only Internet connection, is the only gateway to the Internet, and that it sets up all internal network addresses.
You cannot modify the default network configuration after enabling ICS. This includes items such as the range of private IP addresses that are handed out (DHCP allocator), enabling or disabling DNS, configuring a range of public IP addresses, or configuring inbound mappings.
If your home office users need to gain access to a corporate network that is connected to the Internet by a tunnel server from a ICS network, they need to create a virtual private network (VPN) connection to tunnel from the computer on the ICS network to the corporate tunnel server on the Internet. The VPN connection is authenticated and secure, and creating the tunneled connection allocates proper IP addresses, DNS server addresses, and WINS server addresses for the corporate network.
You may need to configure programs and services to work properly across the Internet. For example, if users on your home network want to play a game with other users on the Internet, the game must be configured on the connection in which ICS is enabled. Services that you provide must be configured so that Internet users can gain access to them. For example, if you are hosting a Web server on your home network and you want Internet users to be able to connect to it, you must configure the Web Server service.

US calls on N Korea to end 'provocative' tone
The United States called Monday on North Korea to end all "provocative" statements after the communist state lashed out at neighbouring South Korea as it denied planning a nuclear test.
After weeks of speculation that North Korea was planning a third nuclear test, a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said Saturday that Pyongyang had no such plans "at present" but accused South Korea of trying to force the regime to do so.
"We'll judge them by their actions, rather than their words," US State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland told reporters in Washington.
"It's a good thing, obviously, that they are saying better things, but we continue to call on them to fulfill their international obligations to refrain from any provocative activity, including provocative rhetoric with regard to their neighbours," she said.
Satellite pictures have suggested that North Korea is developing its nuclear capabilities and some analysts believe that young leader Kim Jong-Un needs to prove his mettle with a military test after a rocket launch flopped in April.
North Korea fired the rocket – in what it called an unsuccessful satellite launch – just weeks after signing an agreement with the United States in which it pledged to freeze any missile or nuclear tests or uranium enrichment.
The United States considered the launch a veiled missile test and suspended a plan to offer food aid to the impoverished country that would have been geared toward hungry young children and pregnant women.

Scrapbook Company to Offer Girl Scout Products in 2007
December 15, 2006

K&Company, Inc.
Kansas City, Mo.—K&Company, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of scrapbooking albums, embellishments, collegiate and military gifts, announces a licensing agreement with a true American icon – Girl Scouts of the USA.
"For years, our customers have been asking when we were going to come out with Girl Scouts products," says Kay Stanley, founder and president of K&Company. "We're thrilled to finally have an answer for them."
The company plans its initial rollout of the Girl Scouts collection at the annual Craft and Hobby Association's winter trade show held January 28-31, 2007, in Anaheim, Calif. The in-house-designed collection will consist of a full line of popular K&Company products, to be available at retail spring 2007: post-bound albums, die-cut stickers, dimensional embellishments and designer papers. Discussions about possible line extensions throughout 2007 are also underway.
"Our other group-themed collections have been a huge success," says Stanley. "We expect that scrapbookers will embrace the Girl Scouts collection in the same way."
The Girl Scouts organization sees this as a resource for its girl membership as well as its 59 million alumnae.
"We are excited to be working with K&Company, a true leader in the scrapbook and craft industry," stated Barry Horowitz, vice president and general manager, Girl Scout merchandise. "For Girl Scouts past and present, Girl Scout activities create a lifetime of wonderful memories. We are very pleased that K&Company is developing a quality Girl Scout scrapbook collection that will preserve these treasured experiences for generations."

By Staff Sgt. Kathleen T. Rhem, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 19, 2000 Easy access to family members at home has done wonders to improve the morale of deployed service members in recent years, and sometimes it's had the opposite effect.
Problems at home add to the stress on troops -- home-front instability, in fact, has been the most significant stress factor among service members deployed to Bosnia, Army psychiatrist Maj. Michael Doyle said in an American Forces Information Service interview. Doyle completed a tour in Bosnia in March as commander of 98th Medical Detachment, a combat stress control unit from Fort Lewis, Wash.
"Unlike fighting wars, where incoming rounds or threats of missiles or chemical attacks would be a negative stressor, we didn't have that in Bosnia," he said. "What we had in Bosnia was problems from the home front -- bills, conflict with spouses, difficulty with children."
Speaking at a recent conference here on operational stress, Bernard Rostker, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, said 55 percent of the force is married, 46 percent has children, 6 percent are single parents and 8 percent provide some support to an elderly parent. That adds up to a lot of potential issues and pressure for deployed service members.
Communications with family members at home has never been easier for deployed service members. Troops deployed to Central America in 1998 and early 1999 for Hurricane Mitch relief, for instance, had morale lines set up for free phone calls home. Many units in the Balkans have similar setups. Officials have said nearly every deployed service member now has access to e-mail and the Internet.
"Unparalleled means of communication between family members and deployed service members is a unique advantage," Rostker said. "But it may also be a unique stressor as service members stay engaged with families."
Stress control consists of commanders and medical personnel working together to reduce the negative impacts of operational stress, Doyle explained. "It's looking for ways to help troops focus on their missions," he said.
The most effective means for leaders to control stress within their units is to get to know their people. "Leaders need to know what's going on, to understand the dynamics in their service members' lives," he said. "That's a tall order, and it's easier said than done."
But Doyle said he saw signs in Bosnia that leaders are taking the issue seriously. He recounted observing a stress-control class for noncommissioned officers that was held late one evening, yet the participants were actively taking notes and asking plenty of questions.
"This class was the only thing that kept these noncommissioned officers, mostly E-4s through E-6s, from a shower, from hot chow, from a bit of relaxation, and they were still interested," he said. "When we were done with our class, several of them continued the discussion by asking more questions. They came up to us afterward to ask very specific questions about how they could take care of their troops.
"So at the front-line level, these leaders want to manage operational stress. They're hungry for information," he said.
Troops under stress may react positively or negatively, Army Lt. Col. James N. Jackson explained at the conference. From a unit standpoint, positive responses are healthy and include increased perseverance, unit cohesion and dedication to mission, said Jackson, currently a member of the Defense Task Force on Domestic Violence.
But, as Rostker explained, "today's military members frequently encounter stressors that actually exceed their ability to deal with in healthy ways."
When that happens, Jackson said, the effects can be misconduct and other unhealthy responses such as substance abuse, insubordination, malingering, depression and battle fatigue, typified by the "thousand-yard stare."

Goob posted a piece that agreed with what Preston said...but I still don't buy it 100%
Do I think Harbaugh wanted an upgrade at S? Yes. Do I think Harbaugh would've hugged and welcome Ed Reed back on a 6m/3year deal? Absolutely. First off, Ozzie isn't handing over the car keys to John without having the driver's ed passenger brake (anyone know what i'm talking about?). He might let Harbaugh drive some of the personell moves, but it's still Ozzie's JOB to decide which groceries we get and how much we pay and which store we get them from. John just tells him which groceries he wants, Ozzie goes from there. So even if Harbaugh is sitting there going "I don't want that crazy hobo in my locker room anymore", it's still Ozzie's call, Ozzie isn't going to say "man, that's wrong...but you DID just win a Super Bowl, so...." Second off, I don't think Ed Reed would've gone and said about him having a good relationship with Harbaugh and exchanging texts with him the day of signing if Harbaugh really wanted him the hell out of here. He had no NEED to be gracious then.
Ray was brought back numerous times because he was valuable to the team and we were able to keep him at the right price. You also have to factor in his leadership on the field. Being the play caller on defense affords you more leverage that most.
Reed, to some extent, the same, but when his price shot up thanks to free agency, they let him walk and he's a tremendous fan favorite. Likewise to Boldin.
Fan satisfaction, when it comes to the beginning of the league year, is pretty far off their radar and the past proves it, especially in the Harbs / Ozzie era. They are never out to appease fans and "win in March".
Ohhh Mike..
He told us after the 2005 season Billick had lost his team... reaction fold?.. not really 13-3.
He told us Harbaugh lost his team after the texans loss... reaction fold?.. not really Champs.
Do it Again Mike!
Allow me to untangle this web of shit.
Preston wrote it? Well, then that's all you need to know on the topic. Donut man doesn't get paid unless he writes bullshit and you people eat it up. I swear I'd love to have his job. Write NFL related fiction, get press access to all the players and free tickets. Apparently the job doesn't come with a gym membership though.
If you believe that Ravens fans do not trust their management to continue their winning ways, while making difficult decisions like releasing veteran players who will be in the ROH/HOF, you're wrong. NFL football is not only a business, but fans want to see winning seasons keep rolling along as long as the players wear purple and black. Harbaugh is 5 for 5 as Head Coach in playoff appearances. IMO your argument is thin ... Bc
IOW...I don't buy the idea that Harbaugh had Reed whacked at all.
A whole lot of smoke with these personnel moves. I'm sure there isn't any fire.
Preston is a washing-machine agitator at the bottom of a septic tank.
"King of Conjecture", my ass. Mikey Bag of Donuts/Sad Sack of Krispy-Kreme-Krumbz/Shit-For-Brainless isn't intelligent enough to know what a "conjecture" is, let alone spell it. His level of competence sits somewhere around the able-to-fling-poo line.
PFT + Mike Preston = Bullshit.
The more you click on and discuss PFT articles, the longer they'll be around.
I stopped reading PFT some time ago. Looks like I'm not missing much.
BTW: Obryski's at the airport does have some great crab cakes! (I flew through Balt last Thur and Sunday)
I am always amused when these roster moves, that some can twist into controversial, always go back to the coach making the decision for whatever reason. Rarely, if ever, do these conspiracies bring up Ozzie, who is the guy actually in charge of personnel.
Classic Preston pot stirring, (which is why I never read him) and PFT rumor mongering (which is why I don't read them). At least Preston is smart enough to know he can't go after Ozzie in his pot stirring. If Harbs keeps up his winning, Preston will have to leave him out of the pot stirring as well.
