Fantasy Guru Daily: 6/29/11
Even though labor negotiations appear to be in the final stages, players are not taking anything for granted and have continued workouts. It might be fun to discuss the rumors of player movement, but our only real source of concrete information comes from the practices being held at high schools and colleges across the country featuring your favorite NFL players (and a bunch of guys you've never heard of).
Good news, bad news at Camp Alex II … Alex Smith, who despite being unsigned, is running his second set of workouts for the 49ers this week. Rookie QB Colin Kaepernick decided to skip the NFLPA rookie symposium in favor of these workouts after being unable to do much work on the field during the last set while recovering from surgery he had early last month. Kaepernick admitted he needed to get his timing down, but felt good. Starting LT Joe Staley doesn't think Kaepernick comes across as a rookie and his play in practice has already excited the team. Now, the bad news. WR Michael Crabtree, who missed time at the team's last workout earlier this month, couldn't go through a full day of practice on Tuesday due to the lingering problems he's had with his foot. The third-year receiver arrived to go through classroom sessions, but after going through warm-ups, he remained away from the action. Crabtree originally had surgery on the left foot to alleviate a stress fracture before the 2009 draft and missed time during that off-season. However, issues continue to linger and Crabtree is holding himself out to avoid making things worse.
Door still open for a Ricky return in Miami? … If you ask Ricky Williams that question now, he wouldn't shoot it down, despite saying in January that he didn't enjoy playing for HC Tony Sparano, who he called a "micromanager" when it came to his style. While Williams didn't back off those comments, he said he would have done things differently. Williams praised Sparano for putting "a lot of thought into things he shares with the team" and thinks that the comments he made about Sparano after the end of last season can help the coach learn and make him and the Dolphins better in 2011. Earlier this month, the 34-year-old wrote on his Twitter page that he'd "love nothing more" than to finish his career in Miami, but acknowledged that might not happen. The Dolphins would like to pair another back to share the workload with rookie RB Daniel Thomas, and they haven't ruled out that spot being filled by Williams or Ronnie Brown.
Quick Hits
- After Monday's labor negotiations featured no players or owners, Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith flew together to Florida to speak at the rookie symposium, which is being run by the NFLPA as opposed to the league due to the lockout. The two are expected to return to Minnesota for talks on Wednesday, which have a different feel with just the legal teams in the room. It was reported that the two sides are putting together proposals on the framework of a deal, which they will then exchange to move the process along.
- The Broncos expect rookie TE Julius Thomas to contribute right away, which is why he called…Brady Quinn? Shocking, we know, but it makes sense considering Quinn has a playbook and allowed Thomas to stay at his house during player workouts. The two have worked out both on and off the field to get the uber-athletic Thomas up to speed on the playbook. To his credit, Thomas seems to be picking things up quickly and has impressed his teammates with his raw ability.

RUSH: Tax returns, is Romney a felon, and, you know, the interesting thing is that out there, where you live, nobody cares. Nobody cares about Romney and Bain Capital, at least in terms of whether or not he was a felon. Nobody cares about the villain in the movie Batman being named Bane. Nobody cares about Romney's tax returns. Nobody cares what Obamacare is about.
In fact, this country is standing up in outrage over what Obama said. And by the way, you Democrats are trying to tell us that we took him out of context. They're doubling down on this now. Elizabeth Warren is back doubling down on this whole notion that if you got a road in front of your business, that road and the people that built it are the reason you succeeded. You have nothing to do with it. She's back; they're doubling down on it.
The people of this country have finally seen what I've been trying to say for four years. I don't mean to make this about me. I don't have to try to make things about me. They're gonna do that anyway. This is why I said, "I hope he fails." This is who he's always been. This is who Barack Obama is. And all this about how likable Obama is, what a great guy he is, he is snarky, he's sneering, he's angry when he made those statements in Roanoke, Virginia, last Friday night. For some reason, the truth emerged. He was irritated, fed up, tired, not supposed to be here in the polls. It wasn't supposed to be this close. He was supposed to be way ahead, rocking on to a practically uncontested second term.
Romney was the guy they wanted. They wanted Romney, Occupy Wall Street, run against Wall Street, Bain Capital, they wanted Romney. Now the CBS/New York Times poll is out, registered voters, not likely voters -- this poll is amazing. You dig deep in the internals, Romney is ahead of Obama for the first time in the New York Times/CBS poll. That's a detail, by the way, that the CBS article of the poll ignores completely. In fact, according to the New York Times, 45% say they would vote for Romney if the election were now; 43% say they would vote for Obama, which means that Romney's really up by two. But the pollsters decided to throw in undecided leaners so they could cut Romney's lead by half down to 1%.
The guys over at The Politico, Mike Allen says, (paraphrasing) "Well, come on, it doesn't mean anything. Nobody's ahead and nobody's behind. This is all a margin of error." And so when the Republican launches ahead in the polls, then all of a sudden the polls don't matter. But you dig deep in some of the internals in this poll, and you find some amazing stuff. You go back and you compare the results of this poll -- and they did this at Power Line -- compare this poll to the same poll's results in April to get a trend. Handling of the economy, back in April, Obama at 44%. Today's poll, 39%. Impact of policies on respondents' own financial situation, not good for Obama. Well, 64% blame Obama's policies.
Folks, it's all in this poll, and this is registered voters, not likely. If it were likely voters, it would be even worse. Sixty-four percent blame Obama's policies for where we are. Finally, folks, you've been asking, "When are these polls gonna match up? When are all these polls that say we're going in the wrong direction, my life isn't getting better, when are they gonna match up with an accompanying decline in Obama's approval?" Looks like it's happening in this poll. Favorability rating, Obama 36%. You remember when Bush hit the thirties on CNN? It was all they talked about for three straight hours. We had that montage of Wolf Blitzer, breaking news, everything coming to a screeching halt, the president's approval numbers, a new low in the CNN poll, in the thirties.
Well, here we go to the CBS/New York Times poll, Obama, back in April, he was at 42% approval, 45% disapproval. Well, favorable and unfavorable. Thirty-six percent favorable in the New York Times/CBS poll. A plurality of voters think Obama's policies will make them worse off and that Romney's will make them better off. It's all here in this poll, and there's a couple of other interesting aspects here. Among independents, Obama's personal favorability is at 28%, not 36. Now, this is the group that the Republican establishment said, "Don't criticize Obama, no, no, no. The independents, they want to compromise, shake hands, everybody get together, cross the aisle, work together, compromise," blah, blah, blah.
Among the independents, Obama's personal favorability is 28% with 52% unfavorable. This is among independents. Romney 32% favorable, 31% unfavorable. So I guess this Bain stuff is really working, isn't it? I guess this tax return stuff's really working, isn't it? And I guess this, "You didn't build that! Somebody else made that happen" is working. I guess this stuff is really working. By the way, this poll, ladies and gentlemen, has weighted the Democrats with a 6.5-point sample advantage.
What they've done... And this is another indication. What they did in the composition of the respondents in the poll, is they basically went out and they duplicated election returns. They had a Democrat sample of about 52% or 53% in the poll. They had a Republican sample, independent sample that pretty much equaled what the election in 2008 was. Well, we all know that those numbers no longer work because a lot of Democrats have abandoned Obama. He's not gonna get 53%. Even if he wins, he's not gonna get 53%.
But they are weighting Obama by 6.5 points Democrat over Republican in the CBS/New York Times poll. Even doing that, Obama's losing by two points. Even with a 6.5-point respondent Democrat advantage, Obama is down two! Now, the media, they're gonna look at this and you're probably gonna hear this, and the standard reply is gonna be what The Politico is doing: "Weeeell, it's margin of error, and this race has always been close. It's always gonna be close.
"Every poll's gonna be like this for the remainder of the race. There's nobody ahead and there's nobody losing." So when Romney vaults ahead, all of a sudden the polls do not matter. And now the Democrats are doing everything they can to distract from the polls. But, see, as I said: People don't care about Romney's tax returns. In fact, I can't remember where I saw this, but this is a great idea for Romney to do when Obama or somebody starts ripping into him for having money in the Grand Caymans and elsewhere offshore.
Romney can say, "Yep. And if you win, I'm taking even more money out of the country and putting it offshore. Anybody who had the ability to would be wise to do the same thing." You know, be aggressive. Be on offense. You don't have to make excuses for anything. Romney is on fire. You know, even Jeb Bush has come out and criticized Obama. Do you realize how major a thing that is?
Even Jeb Bush doesn't like this!
Yeah, he doesn't like this idea that Obama's out there saying people didn't build their own businesses.
And as I say, they're doubling down on this with Elizabeth Warren now. She's doubled down on it. All this talk about being taken "out of context"? Not true. This is who he is, folks. This is what I, and you, have been trying to tell everybody for four years.
RUSH: Now, Elizabeth Warren is running for the Senate. This is from the Boston Herald: "Elizabeth Warren yesterday came to the defense her former boss President Obama's controversial statement that businesses' owners can't take credit for their success...'" They mean to say this. There's no "out of context." There was, in addition to the words, a sneering, snarky attitude about this.
Folks, I am telling you: These are full-fledged, dyed-in-the-wool Marxist-Leninists. And they have a deep-rooted dislike, resentment -- in some cases hatred -- for capitalism, for this country. And I've spent my life trying to figure out why. I've told you on this program I don't know how many times that sometimes I descend into mindless idealism. I can't intellectually understand why anybody would hate this country. The freedom, the opportunity... The freedom is such a big deal.
That's why the rest of the world still wants to get here. A guy at National Review (I forget who; Peter Kirsanow, I think) was making a point about this, "You got a road in front of your business." He said they had roads in the Soviet Union. They have roads in Cuba. They have bridges in Myanmar. But they don't have anywhere near the kind of human existence that we have in America. So what's missing? They have roads in Detroit. They have bridges everywhere.
But you listen to these people: "Roads and bridges!"
Roads and bridges are casually thrown out as cliches, almost like, "We need to invest in education," as though we haven't been. Our problem is we've been investing too much money in education and not enough in learning. "Roads and bridges! Got a road, got a bridge? The people that built that, that's why your business is successful!" Well, as he points out, there are roads throughout totalitarian countries, and the businesses on those roads are nothing. Because there's a big missing factor, and that's freedom.
Even though I intellectually don't understand people hating the country, I intellectually understand that they do. And at times I've tried to figure out why. It's a wasted exercise, other than for the fun of it to see if you can actually peg it, and I know that I have. I know that I have. It's a combination of things, and it's a devotion to collectivism. It's a devotion to a central-planning authority that they run. They don't want to be in the hoi polloi. Obama and the rest, they don't want to be the subjects of their ideas.
They want to be those who implement and administer their rules. But it's not about being "fair." Those are just methods. Those are just ways to get where they want to go. It's about contempt. They have contempt for average people. "Average people" cannot do anything on their own. They're just not capable. That's probably the umbrella under which it all operates. So don't buy this out-of-context stuff. This is who they are. This is who Obama has always been, and this is what he is attempting to implement.
RUSH: You didn't build that. You didn't make that happen. You didn't have anything to do with that. There's a lot of smart people out there. A lot of smart people that don't have anything. You've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. "You didn't build that" captures the split of the left and right in America today, 2012. I speculate on these people that hate the country. One of the things they do -- Obama's a classic illustration -- they start with the kids. Cartoon shows, classroom, day-to-day life, communist parents, leftist parents start maligning the country, how unfair it is, how unjust, all the horror stories of our nation's past.
They get these kids literally hating this country, and the kids grow up to become Occupy Wall Street members or they want to go into journalism and change the world. They want to take down a presidency. I read a fascinating piece. Conrad Black reviewed Douglas Brinkley's book on Walter Cronkite. And in the review, Conrad Black makes a point some of you might think is a little narrow in its scope. He said the place that we can trace the current sharp ideological, cultural rot divide is two things: the Vietnam War and Watergate. He blames Cronkite for both of 'em, but the left in general. His point essentially is that when journalists discovered they could secure defeat of the United States in a war and take out a president, it forever changed the way they look at their job.
And, of course, the Democrat Party and the media are one and the same. They don't even stop to consider that we could have won in Vietnam. They don't stop to consider that Watergate was basically a fraud. Conrad Black writes Watergate was a fraud. To this day nobody can really tell you what Watergate was. But the sense of power that the Democrat Party and the media felt and achieved, losing a war, securing the defeat of a war they thought was unjust and we had no business winning and then ridding the White House of a president they despise, he said that forever changed the nature of journalism, and in fact Congress. And he says until -- and this is never gonna happen -- until liberals admit their culpability by securing defeat in Vietnam and ridding the country of a president, until that happens, every presidency is gonna be a failed presidency because the objective of a media is going to be to either get rid of a Republican president or artificially prop up a liberal president who's doing horrible, rotten things, all for the express purpose of seeing the power unfold.
I think he's on to something with this. The media monopoly is not what it was during Vietnam and Watergate. They don't have a monopoly anymore. They long for the days of their monopoly. And I think much of what they do is now designed to show themselves and everybody else they've still got the power to shape opinion, majority opinion amongst the population.
That is what motivates them, excites them, proves to themselves they can still do it. If it takes six years, we're gonna destroy George W. Bush, because we destroyed Nixon. We showed it can be done, so that's now the objective. In fact, Woodward, Bernstein, getting rid of a president, it's why so many people wanted to go into journalism. They wanted to take truth to power. They wanted to wipe the powerful out, unless they're liberal Democrats, of course.
So you start with the kids. They go to journalism school. They go into movies, entertainment, what have you. They go into pop culture. They are taught from the moment they can understand the language that this country is horribly rotten. I think it's exactly who Obama is. Every influence he's had. Every formative influence, from his father on down to his stepfather, to his mother, to his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, to his professors, it's all been how rotten this country is. And now he's president. Now, they can't be honest. They still haven't got to the point where they can be honest about it. That's what's amazing about this slip up. For some reason Obama was really frustrated on Friday and he just let fly with what he has been covering up. He let fly with what they've been trying to mask, and that is their distaste, their literal dislike for this country.
Well, the mask is gone. And now people who were having trouble getting their arms around the idea that we'd elected somebody that doesn't really like the country, now they're seeing it. And they're not happy about it. Six pages, when you print it out. The New York Post went around and talked to business people. This is happening all over the country. Chicago Tribune, business owners, people that voted for Obama are livid with this. And they're writing, and they're talking about their hardscrabble stories. Their parents, their grandparents, the hard work establishing and maintaining a business and all that went with it. No vacations. No extra money. No movies.
Many of these people voted for Obama, and now they hear him say, "You didn't do that. You didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Finally people are getting their arms around this now, and it's helping to put all this other stuff in perspective. What do you mean, Romney's tax returns? Who cares? They're not talking about Romney's tax returns anywhere. Ask yourself, wherever you live, if you still read your local paper. How much attention in the local news is there about Romney's taxes? You might see on the front page a wire service story from the New York Times about it, but is anybody in your local town talking about whether or not Romney's tax returns, he needs to release more or whether Romney's got offshore money.
You know what they're talking about: 386,000 unemployment applications, just out today. You remember last week the media was excitedly and breathlessly reporting the plunge in applications for unemployment. Well, now Reuters today is despondent over this news. We're inching dangerously close to 400,000, that magic number of unemployment compensation applications, 386,000. We have a country in a tailspin, and this is what people care about, and this is what people are talking about. They're not talking about what Obama wants everybody to talk about. Oh, the media is, but the media is not succeeding in distracting people.
And this CBS/New York Times poll today with Romney ahead by two? Yes, it's margin of error, but still, it's a first. Trust me, in the White House they're not saying, "Eh, it's margin of error. You know it's gonna be like this the rest of the way." They're not saying that. Because the trend, which is easy to see, is not good news for Barack Hussein Obama. So we have weekly unemployment claims up now to 386,000. Next week that's gonna be revised up and it's gonna be at least 390,000.
Foreclosures. People are still losing their houses. (interruption) What do you mean, "How is it possible?" (interruption) We have not "turned the corner." We have not done that. We have not gone in a positive direction in this economy in 3-1/2 years. Everybody knows it. That's what people are talking about. "Factory activity contracted for a second month in a row." US manufacturing, therefore, is on a downward trend. "Home sales dropped 5.4% -- the biggest decline in home sales in nine months. Retail sales dropped for the third straight month. Consumer confidence is down to 84.7.
"US business inventories increased by 0.3%." That's replacement. "Retail sales nationwide are down 0.1%. Food prices are skyrocketing" because of the drought. And where's Obama on that, by the way? He was gonna lower the sea levels; why not make it rain? And last week we learned that more people are signing up for disability than are signing up for unemployment. Now, this is what people are talking about. John Nolte assembled this list at Breitbart.com. This is what real people are living, what real people are talking about.
And what real people are starting to understand is Obama doesn't care about them. And even if he did, they're starting to realize there's nothing he could do about it 'cause he doesn't know how and he doesn't really care. And a precious few people are beginning to understand that all of this news actually facilitates what Obama wants to happen. That is a bigger government to come in and "fix" all these problems that, of course, will not be fixed. But the government will get bigger. The government will have more power.
But all of these things... Ah, they may be reported, but that's it. After the unemployment news today from Reuters that's all they'll say about it 'til next Thursday. If it were a Republican president, it would be the only news of the day and it would carry over to the Sunday shows with a job expert here and a job expert there trying to explain what it all meant. Obama, whatever he wants, he gets. If he wants this to be a one-day story, that's it. They can try as hard as they want to try make people care about Romney's tax returns, but they don't.
RUSH: Even the New York Times is admitting that nobody cares about Romney's taxes. Here's an excerpt from the New York Times polling story today. Obama's class warfare has been a failure. The New York Times says, quote, "Despite months of negative advertising from Mr. Obama and his Democratic allies seeking to further define Mr. Romney as out of touch with the middle class and representative of wealthy interests, the poll shows little evidence of any substantial nationwide shift in attitudes about Mr. Romney."
Because try as you might, New York Times, this election isn't about Romney. This election is about Obama. You can try all day to make it about Romney, and what you're admitting is everything you've tried to do is not working. He's a tax cheat? Not working. He's got money in the Caymans? Not working. Make fun of his wife's horse? Didn't work. In fact, they're even apologizing for those attacks. Do you know that? The Democrat National Committee is pulling back. They're announcing they're pulling back on criticism of Ann Romney's horse and apologizing for doing that.
Yep, yep, yep. I have it right here in the Stack.
RUSH: It's a question that I raised at the end of the first hour. Snerdley looked at me like I was an idiot. When most people look at you like you're an idiot, does it make you feel like maybe you are an idiot? That's not how it affects me. When somebody looks at me like they think I'm an idiot, I think, "How thick are they not to understand what I'm saying?" So Obama goes out there Friday night in Roanoke and says this, the sound bite that has aired a million times, that everybody's reporting, that Obama says clearly. They made a day-long attempt to say it was out of context, that people were taking it out of context, but that didn't work, and so what survives is Obama saying to business owners, "You got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made it happen."
That is active. Everybody is acting on the assumption Obama said it, and he meant it. It's inflicting great damage. They're doing nothing to walk this back. They're doing nothing to tell people, "No, no, no, no, that's not what he meant." He is not going out and saying, "Now, look, I misspoke the other day." He's not doing that. You might think if he did it would be a futile effort. But to let something like this stand -- clearly he did not mean to say this. Let the guard down, finally we got a dead on look at who he really is. I've always said that at some point these liberals are gonna give themselves away. You can't survive in a mask and a costume your whole life. Well, the fact that they haven't tried to walk this back in any way is telling, is it not? It must mean that they don't want to even try to walk it back.
So could it mean that Obama, "Okay, well, that's out there," and he really thinks that this is how he's gonna win reelection? That there are more people who will agree with him on this and support him on this because they will interpret this as Obama saying, "I'm gonna go get 'em. They have gotten where they are by walking all over you, and I am your defender, I am your protector. You're just as smart as they are. You work just as hard as they do, and you build a road and you build a bridge, and they used it, and you got nothing. Well, I'm here to take it back for you." He must think that if he puts all the people together who think that way plus all the other campaign groups that he's targeting, that he's got a winning coalition. He must think that.
I don't know why they're not trying to walk it back. Do you? It's living, it's breathing. Romney is getting mileage out of it. It has brought Romney to life. There is a new Mitt Romney. Now, we need more than two days out of this. This needs to be the real new Mitt Romney for the rest of the campaign. This message needs to penetrate small business owners who are still open and small business employees who are still working because they could be next. This unemployment situation is not getting any better. I'm a little curious that there hasn't been one effort, not one serious effort to walk this back.
Instead, what have we gotten? We've gotten Romney, Bain, by the way, I think they're letting that go. This New York Times poll that's out today factors all of that, the Bain Capital, the Cayman Islands. It doesn't, this poll does not include what Obama said in Roanoke on Friday. That is too recent to have shown up. So Romney being up by two and big among independents in the latest CBS/New York Times poll does not include Obama at Roanoke saying, "You got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." The next poll that includes that, that's gonna be interesting.

Iowa GOP chair says Dems the 'gay-marriage party'
The head of the Iowa Republican Party says he will continue to uphold the GOP's opposition to gay marriage.
The Des Moines Register reports that during a taping of the public television program "Iowa Press" on Thursday, AJ Spiker said the Iowa GOP believes marriage should only be allowed between men and women.
Some Iowa Republicans have called for the party to embrace same-sex marriage.
Spiker added that, "There is one gay-marriage party in the state of Iowa and that's the Iowa Democratic Party."
Democratic Party Chairman Tyler Olson noted after the program that his party supports marriage-equality for gay couples.
Spiker said he didn't expect Republicans who favor gay marriage to leave the party.
Gay marriage has been legal in Iowa since a 2009 state Supreme Court ruling.

Aim: There have been various studies for early diagnosis of local recurrent or distant metastatic thyroid cancers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility of 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC and 99mTc-HYNIC-TATE, octreotide derivatives, to detect recurrences or distant metastases in 131I-negative thyroglobulin positive thyroid cancer patients and to compare the lesions with FDG PET and 99mTc-MIBI studies in the same patient group.
Patients and Methods: Twenty differentiated thyroid cancer patients, 7 male and 13 female, mean age 54.6 ± 15.3 (range 13–78 years), were included in this study. Eighteen patients had papillary thyroid cancer and 2 had follicular thyroid cancer. Fifteen patients received HYNIC-TOC and 5 patients received HYNIC-TATE as a radiopharmaceutical. All patients underwent whole-body scan 1 and 4 hours after injection of octreotide derivatives and SPECT imagings were performed from the suspicious sites. The lesions that were seen in 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC and 99mTc-HYNIC-TATE studies were compared with 99mTc-MIBI and FDG-PET studies.
Results: Among 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC and 99mTc-HYNIC-TATE scintigraphies, 15 patient studies were evaluated as true positive (75%) and 5 were false negative (25%). The total number of lesions in octreotide scintigraphy was 48 in 20 patients. Of 20 patients, 19 had FDG-PET study, 15 of them were evaluated as true positive (78.9%), and 4 them were evaluated as false negative (21.1%). Total number of lesions in FDG PET was 74. 99mTc-MIBI study was positive in 11 patients (55%) and negative in 9 patients (45%). Total number of lesions in 99mTc-MIBI was 25.
Conclusion: Technetium-labeled somatostatin receptor scintigraphy analogues HYNIC-TOC and HYNIC-TATE are useful imaging alternatives in somatostatin receptor expressing thyroid cancer patients. Radiolabeling is easy and they are readily available for routine use.

By the way, the front panel is impressively thick. It is alone as heavy as to be comparable to some cheap small system cases.
And now we've reached the second HDD rack which is something this system case can truly be proud of. Besides offering quick access to hard disks when the system case is closed (remember the door in the front panel?), it supports the hot swap feature, which is very handy if you are going to build a fault-tolerant array like RAID5. Take note of the cable attached to the power connectors. It allows powering all four HDDs from one connector, making it easier to lay the cables and permitting to cover the interior of the rack with a plastic casing. Interface cables with an L-shaped SATA connector should be used here (four such cables are included with the Obsidian 800D) because ordinary flat connectors are going to get in the way of the casing. If handled not carefully enough, they may even tear the fragile SATA plugs off the HDD rack. Everything seems to be calculated properly, yet one thing has not been accounted for by the developer: the included cables won't be long enough to connect HDDs in the rack to a standalone rather than a mainboard-integrated disk controller.
HDDs are cooled by a 140mm fan located on the side panel of the rack. Like the other two fans in this system case, it uses a 3-pin connection for the mainboard. It takes the air from below (the other sides are covered with a casing) and drives it through the rack towards the right panel. Now the purpose of the holes near the right panel at the back of the case becomes clear. The air will be exhausted through them. That's an interesting cooling solution and we will check its efficiency out during our tests. So far we can only say that it's unclear which direction the fan installed on the bottom rack should blow at. If from the left panel to the right one, it will be competing for the air with the fan above it. If otherwise, the hot air will be running in a circle formed by the two HDD racks. Well, we solved this dilemma by just not installing any fan on the bottom rack and testing the system case's cooling capabilities in the hardest (for the HDDs) mode.
Thus, the Obsidian 800D has a ventilation system with vertical airflows. Additionally, it has individual cooling for HDDs.
The guides for installing HDDs into the top rack are handy, rigid and reliable. They are held within the rack by means of spring-loaded tabs. What we don't like is that the HDDs are rather too close to each other and there are too few vent holes in the rack's side panel. This may have a negative effect on their temperature.
It is simple with 5.25-inch drives. They are fastened in a screw-less way using moving latches. This chassis has no guides for 3.5-inch devices or external 3.5-inch bays. So, if you need a card-reader or other such peripheral, you will have to connect it externally.
The expansion slot brackets are reusable and fastened with thumbscrews.
The mainboard's mounting plate has a lot of openings to hide cables behind it. There is a lot of space in there, so you can hide even a very large heap of thick sleeved cables.
The window behind the CPU socket makes it possible to replace the CPU cooler without taking the mainboard out even if the cooler has a back-plate. The window is large enough to provide access to the back of the CPU socket on most mainboards (some developers of system cases do not account for the fact that the position of the CPU socket is not strictly defined).
The window has a cover, although we doubt there is a strong airflow under the mainboard.
The system case comes with a large selection of various accessories some of which have been named above. Of course, there is plenty of various screws, etc. This is what you can expect from products of that class. A CPU power extension cable is included, too. There is also one pad like those that are already placed under the fans installed in the case.
There is only one problem you may encounter when assembling a computer in this system case. It is so large and heavy that you may find it easier to step around it rather than to turn it around. Like with the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000, you can install any available graphics card into this giant and there will be 17 centimeters of free space for a CPU cooler. The Obsidian 800D is perhaps the most convenient system case in terms of assembly that we have ever tested in our labs. You can lay out all cables neatly and easily. The cables just have to be long enough to stretch from one corner to the other.

Chelsea and Leeds hate each other; it's as simple as that.
These days encounters between the two are few and far between so when they do meet in cup competitions, it is a big deal.
Wednesday night saw Chelsea travel to Elland Road for a quarterfinal tie in the Capital One Cup and it was expected to be a tough game for the Blues.
The first half certainly started that way, with Leeds taking a 1-0 lead into the break.
But in the second half, Chelsea's quality and class shone through and they gave Leeds nothing short of a battering, scoring five goals.
But what should we take away from this game, and what lessons have been learned about both clubs?

Hello, everyone. I am a 17 year old high school Junior living in the Bible belt of the south. I was raised home schooled in a household where I was not indoctrinated with any religion whatsoever. My parents simply allowed me to figure things out for myself. The result? I am an atheist, a virulent anti-theist, and a liberal to boot. Given these labels, I am often ideologically at odds with most of my peers, and I can feel quite lonely in my world view.
Though, I try my best to like people and hate the religion that has festered in their mind and closed them off to the true majestic beauty of the universe. I'm never quite sure, though, if it really is the religion that is the root cause of all of this stupidity I see on a daily basis, or if most people are simply inherently fucking idiotic and the religion simply supplements that ingrained trait.
Either way, I fight against it whenever I feel a speck of hope in me for humanity. Most of the time, I don't, so I don't even bother.
I came to this site because I'd like to discuss religious matters with my fellow non-theists. Plus, it helps me feel less alone.

Hey! I'm in Boaz, Alabama and I know exactly what you're talking about. Welcome. I have a twenty year old son that is atheist, too. We went to his girlfriend's graduation last year, and it was like church. Everybody that got to the mic started praying and preaching, students included. UGH. I've posted a bunch of stories about stuff like that, and events at work. check em out.
It's a lot to put up with religious people here in the south, but try not to let it make you crazy! So glad you found us. This site has been keeping me sane lately.

SACRAMENTO - Recreational boaters may want to think twice before reaching for that cold beer this weekend. Marine law enforcement officers, as part of a national coordinated effort of stepped-up enforcement known as Operation Dry Water, will be out in force on California's waterways June 27-28 looking for boat operators whose Blood Alcohol Content exceeds the state limit of .08 percent. Operation Dry Water will include increased enforcement on patrol, boating under the influence checkpoints as well as boater education.
"In 2008, 49 percent of all boating fatalities were a result of alcohol use," said California Department of Boating and Waterways Director Raynor Tsuneyoshi. "We want people to be safe and have fun while boating, but without consuming alcohol."
Alcohol can impair a boater's judgment, balance, vision, and reaction time. It can increase fatigue and susceptibility to the effects of cold-water immersion. Sun, wind, noise, vibration, and motion - "stressors" common to the boating environment - intensify the side effects of alcohol, drugs, and some prescription medications.
"There will be zero tolerance for anyone found operating a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs on our waters," said California Boating Safety Officers Association President Cary Smith. "There will be arrests this weekend, and some boaters will face the consequences of boating under the influence, but we'd much rather arrest someone than to have to tell their friends and family they're never coming back."
According to California State Law, a person convicted of operation of a vessel while intoxicated could receive up to a $1,000 fine, six months in jail or both.
Operation Dry Water is a joint program of California, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and the U.S. Coast Guard. Twenty-nine California law enforcement agencies will be participating in the program (see attachment).
To find out more about Operation Dry Water, please visit www.nasbla.org. For California boating safety information and laws, please visit www.dbw.ca.gov.
DBW provides officer training and financial aid to local boating law enforcement agencies to provide for adequate boating law enforcement and to ensure that the enforcement of California boating laws is uniform throughout the State. Department programs are funded by vessel registration fees, boating fuel tax dollars and boating facility construction loan payments.
Note to media: Media Ride-alongs are available for the weekend of Operation Dry Water. Please refer to the attachment for individual law enforcement contact information.

It was the right move - Frecklington
By Bigrich.....
Updated Friday, 11th January 2013
Views: 451
After completing his permanent transfer to the club last week, Lee Frecklington is relieved it's all done and dusted.
After impressing during his loan spell, the midfield man is now focusing on his Millers future and is looking forward to the rest of the season.
Speaking to the Advertiser, he said: "I have been speaking to clubs for the last couple of months but I've enjoyed my time here and with the stadium and the lads and the quality in the team, I felt this was the right decision for me.
"When you're month to month, everything is a bit up in the air but from a personal and a family point of view I can get sorted because I know I'm at Rotherham for the next three years and hopefully I can have success here.
"I came here expecting to be challenging for promotion. We're third in the league and we've got every chance and now we need to finish strongly."
He added: "Three points will consolidate third place for us but you can't take anything for granted tomorrow. Barnet are a good footballing team but when we play our game we are more than a match for any team in this division"

Daniel Stanley's smartphone was stolen.
But the 21-year-old Columbus man knew exactly where it was. Using a GPS-based program called Lookout, he could see a green dot on his computer screen locating his Samsung Galaxy smartphone in an apartment complex on Marion Road on the South Side.
"I was pretty dumbfounded by the exactness of it," Stanley, of the Far West Side, said.
He went to a Columbus police substation on April 1, told officers where his phone was and asked them to go get it. He said officers told him they couldn't, in part because it was an apartment complex with multiple units.
So the phone with all his emails, his contacts and the photos of his 8-month-old son has stayed missing, though he can track its movements online.
"A cellphone is no longer a cellphone anymore," he said. "It's personal. It's your life."
Though portable electronic devices and their contents might be priceless to their owners, most are valued at less than $1,000, making stealing them a misdemeanor, not a felony. The threshold for a felony was changed from $500 when House Bill 86 went into effect 18 months ago.
Columbus police want to change that. Division officers have been working with Sen. Jim Hughes, a Republican from Columbus, on Senate Bill 63, which would make theft of a computer or other telecommunications device either a fourth- or fifth-degree felony.
"We're not expecting these perpetrators to go to prison, but it gives us a little more credibility to do a search warrant, and it might give us fruits of another crime," said Lt. Robert Strausbaugh, who supervises the Columbus police burglary squad.
The division doesn't track the number of stolen smartphones or tablets, but an informal tally officers kept last year showed there were 20 reported thefts of such devices last April, 12 in September, 13 in October and six in December.
Besides Lookout, online locating services include Find My iPhone for Apple and Where's My Droid for Android. Some just show where the phone is at that moment. Others allow the user to take screenshots of what's being done on the phone or pictures from the phone's camera, so the thief's face can be captured.
But those apps don't do much good if authorities won't go get the device.
Strausbaugh said all that officers can really do now is knock on the door of where the phone or tablet might be and ask nicely to take a look around. Upgrading the theft to a felony would make it easier to get a search warrant to recover the device.
"It's not in a good policeman's nature to say, 'I can't do anything,' " he said.
Strausbaugh acknowledged that phone theft really isn't a high-priority crime but is a big deal for the person who loses the phone.
"You're losing a significant part of your life, and it's only a misdemeanor," he said.
The bill has had a hearing in the Senate criminal-justice committee, and Hughes said he hopes to have the full Senate vote on it in May.
Hughes said smartphone theft wasn't on legislators' radar when the felony-theft threshold was raised. He noted that phones are becoming more like computers or wallets, with apps that allow the user to pay for items such as Starbucks coffee without getting out cash or a card.
Stanley said he supports any change in the law that might get his phone back and punish the person who's carrying it around town.
"I'd love to see someone go to jail for stealing my stuff," he said.

Power Consumption
The performance differences between the tested Socket FM1 mainboards are no significant enough to consider them the only argument justifying the mainboard choice. There is another parameter that is much more important for the Mini-ITX systems – power consumption. This parameter determines how quiet and energy-efficient the compact computer system is going to be. Moreover, even the slightest difference in power consumption may have very serious consequences for miniature systems: the need for an additional fan or a higher-wattage power supply. Therefore, we paid special attention to power consumption tests this time.
The thing is that mainboard makers can seriously influence the power consumption of systems built on their products. The key factor here is the efficiency of the processor voltage regulator circuitry. This is where the skills of the engineering team can really shine.
The graphs below (unless specified otherwise) show the full power draw of the computer (without the monitor) measured after the power supply. It is the total of the power consumption of all the system components. The PSU's efficiency is not taken into account. The CPUs are loaded by running the 64-bit version of LinX 0.6.4-AVX utility. We used FurMark 1.9.1 to load the graphics core. Moreover, we enabled all power-saving technologies and Turbo Core mode to correctly measure computer's power draw in idle mode.
The differences between the testing participants stand out even more in the power consumption tests than they do in performance tests. Even though all four boards have four phases in their processor voltage regulator circuitry, their actual performance is completely different.
ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe is the energy-efficiency leader, which is quite understandable. Its processor voltage regulator circuitry uses innovative digital-analog design, and besides, this mainboard has a special EPU processor managing the number of active phases in order to improve the voltage regulator efficiency. As a result, ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe based system consumes a few watts less than the competitors in idle mode as well as under diverse operational loads. This is particularly impressive considering that Asus mainboards has a lot of additional onboard controllers and is the fastest of the four boards.
However, it is important to keep in mind that if you are really concerned with the energy-efficiency of your Mini-ITX system and do not need a powerful graphics core, then it would make much more sense to give up Socket FM1 platform altogether. Even with an energy-efficient AMD A8-3800 65 W processor inside its power consumption is still higher than the power consumption of LGA 1155 platforms with similar computational performance. And taking into account that Intel can also offer 35 W CPUs, the superiority of solutions from Intel becomes undeniable.

My first time with a man
This is what I remember of my first time. I sit in the car, my mouth dry and my heart thumping. For the hundredth time I ask myself if can I go through with it. With a surge of determination, I drag myself out of my car and walk the couple of hundred yards to the address I've been given. I find the house easily. Shaking almost uncontrollably, I walk to the front door and ring the bell. ...Read On

A gay teenager has a secret crush on his sister's boyfriend - and the boyfriend feels the same
My name is Darren and I am 17 years old. My older sister Katie started going out with a boy she met at college and they'd been together about four months. I hadn't met the guy but she was always gushing about how gorgeous he was and how much she loved him. She teased me a little about not having a girlfriend yet but I laughed her off. I've always known I was gay but being shy, never really...Read On

Lusting over my cousins hot wife

The baby was about 6 months old at the time when I lived with them. My cousin worked hard and was always out of the house, making money to support his growing family. His wife is a beautiful, curvy, perfect titted woman...Read On

This is for you baby......bi69fun4us
"Put my panties down you sick fuck" I walked into my apartment to find the caretaker of my building on his knees with 2 pairs of my panties, one around his cock and the other pair held up to his face. I had complained earlier in the week that the sink in my en-suite had kept blocking and that I needed it fixing, he knew I would not be in that day and took his opportunity. However, I...Read On

Anne makes a poor choice of underwear.
"Miss Burlington, Mr. Slater will see you now." The senior partner's attractive secretary gestured Anne towards the door, with a knowing smile. She hadn't been told what it was about, just that he wanted to see her, and she had spent the morning until the 10 a.m. meeting time in a state of nervousness. She rose and approached the door. Her heart hammering, she entered the plushly...Read On

When a young man is caught watching a MILF, she just asks a favor of him.
There I stood in my room, in just my matching pink bra, and thong. My reflection just looked back at me, and my big boobs, as I stood at five foot nine. My brown hair moved along with my head as I struck many poses. Two years before, I became a divorced woman after over twenty years of marriage, leaving me as a forty-four-year-old divorcée. I managed to get one wonderful son named Joe out...Read On

I agree to teach my friend's son about love making
I spend time with my friend's son! Introduction: I love young men. I love their innocence, energy, their lust for life. I love how excited they get and how hard they stay. I love the embarrassment they experience if and when they cum to quickly and how with the slightest encouragement, they are hard and ready to go again after they cum. But most of all, I love knowing that they will...Read On

A last minute holiday finds a husband having to take the cuckold test.
Danny drained the remnants of his beer from the bottle, his eyes and thoughts on the attractive blonde stood at the beach bar a few yards away. A sudden breeze opened her wrap around skirt briefly allowing him to get a flash of tanned thigh and panties. There were others sat around tables as the evening sunset began to take hold but no one else seemed to notice the sudden flash of naked flesh. ...Read On

Sister in law massage goes too far?
About 5 years ago, I was home watching TV when my sister in law called and said she was coming by to catch up on a few shows we had on DVR. This was not out of the ordinary for her as she was always stopping by from time to time. I let her know that her sister (my wife) and my daughter were out for the day visiting the library, doing some school shopping and had a play date with a friend...Read On

One of his buddies brought another friend with him so they had 4 playing. I had decided I would stay in our bedroom and watch a few movies that I had rented for the night.

Best sex of my lifeMy wife Aisling and I have always had a good relationship with a very healthy sex
My wife Aisling and I have always had a good relationship with a very healthy sex life. This is an account of how our relationship moved beyond the conventional norm. At the time I was 35 and she was 32. I could go into great detail describing what Aisling looked like, but the easiest way is to say that she looked then a lot like the pop singer Katy Perry does now. She had long glossy dark...Read On

Rebecca has some fun with nothing but a full bladder.
God, I hate school. Sure, people say that all the time, but I really mean it. For one, I go to a private Catholic school. . . and I'm atheist. And we have to wear these awful uniforms- hideous pleated skirts that go all the way down to our knees (but that doesn't stop certain girls from rolling up the waistband until their underwear- or lack thereof- is showing) and we all have to wear...Read On
