2010 release, the fifth studio album from the Alt-Rockers. With Smoke & Mirrors, Lifehouse, along with longtime producer Jude Cole, have created a set that combines their live sound with great record making. Smoke & Mirrors started out as a mission to capture the live, ROCK side of the band. A trip back into the studio gave them a chance to also tackle their 'record making' expertise. The album properly defines the best that Lifehouse has to offer.

I think the CNET editors got this one wrong - read below
by jedidia on December 1, 2005
Pros: Very powerful device with lots of features. I am thrilled.
Cons: Speaker phone could be louder and plug is weird
Summary: I hope the following helps those deciding about this device.

I have a long history with PDA phones. I am a heavy user. I did the Kyocera, the treo 300, 600, and 650 and also the new Samsung Slider. I thought the Samsung was going to be the device for me but after a week I returned it to Verizon. I hated the slider keyboard. I needed to be able to type and hold the device with one hand (while driving). I also felt like the slider made the phone clumsy. I crashed a lot and for various other reasons I did not like it. I am sure different PDA phones will act quirky for some folks and not for others. So far the HP6515 has peformed flawlessly. I love this device. It is packed full of features. I think to knock if for wi-fi is silly. The samsung has wi-fi that I used once. If I am in an area that has wi-fi I mine as well use my PC. You could also buy a wi-fi card if you had to have wi-fi. There are two slots on the HP so there would be room for a memory card as well. The HP has GPS built-in. A very cool feature. The camera has a flash and comes with great software. I could care less about which version of software the device is running. I am still using WORD 2000 and it works fine. I use the Goodlink software for email and it works seamlessly with the device. The size is just right and I do not have to move the device around my ear to hear my calls (common problem I had with my treos). The sound is fantastic. I was not that impressed with the speaker phone but there was a lot of ambient noise while I was driving. I bought a blue-tooth head set and that solved the problem. The color screen is crisp and does a great job. The device comes with a nice bundle of software AND THE HOLDER TO WEAR ON YOUR WAIST (unlike the treo). The plug is awkward if you need to travel with it but if you use the docking station (I do not) it should be fine. I think HP should reconsider the plug as I thought that was a nice feature of the Samsung. So far so good. I will update this in a month to see if anything changes.32 out of 32 users found this user opinion helpful.
SmartPhone that Rocks!
by glendawg on November 24, 2005
Pros: GPS/Bluetooth/Bright Screen/EDGE&GPRS/MP3 Player

Summary: Bottom line: I love this device. I retired my Nokia 6620. I was an early adopter with AT&T Wireless with the Siemens SX56 PPC, which has a larger screen but horrible cellular radio for picking up the signal from cell towers.
Buy hey, this is about the HW 6515A. Nice device. Feels good in the hand when you hold it to talk. The Micrsoft Voice Command is a must. Very accurate with my 1000+ contacts.
Bluetooth implementation is sweet. I paired my Motorola HS85 & Jabra 250. In addition I have a Logitech diNovo Bluetooth keyboard/Mouse and the Bluetooth Hub paired with the HW 6515A flawlessly. I also carry a Belkin USB bluetooth (100M range) dongle and it too paired with my HW 6515 no problem ( I travel a bunch).
The integrated GPS was the big selling point for me. Once you register the device with HP, they offer a FREE download of Pocket Streets and Trips 2006 from Microsoft. I already own S&T 2005 but I took advantage of the newer 2006 version for my PPC. I copied maps over to the device in my home region of the Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA area. Initial GPS setup was simple as you watch the device locate 2, 3, 4.... satelites. Then fire up S&T 2006 and watch the red marker pinpoint where you are while it updates as you cruise around the area. It tells you local points of interest as you drive by them like gas stations, restaurants and other points.
The dual earphones headset with mic is nice too. As your listening to music and a call comes in, once you answer the music pauses and you've got a stereo conversation in your head while you converse.
HP cut some corners though. They put a whopping 64MB of system memory and 64 MB of flash ROM. Yhey should have ponied up for 128MB of system memory. In addition the 312 MHz Intel processor could have been a faster version. Sometimes if too many programs are running you have to cancel-all to get the performance back.
I put a 1GB miniSD and a 1GB SD memory card in it. I want to load maps, music and large PowerPoint and other work related files on this device. I can email or bluetooth to customers realtime to make me more efficient or I can read them on an airplane because we all know how the back of the seat in front of you always hinders opening up your laptop.
All in all with Cingular and their $39.00/month unlimited data plan, I am very happy with this device. I like the Windows 2003 Mobile and am not a fan of the Palm OS. The QWERTY keyboard is nice too. I still favor the virtual keyboard on screen for rapid pecking out a message with the stylis.

My Dream Machine
by cnetmarc on November 22, 2005
Pros: Sound Quality, PIM, GPS
Cons: Tiny keys, GPS software not included
Summary: Let me say upfront I do not use this this phone for email or Internet. I was interested in a phone that would sync with my PIM at work, which ...
Summary: Let me say upfront I do not use this this phone for email or Internet. I was interested in a phone that would sync with my PIM at work, which contains at least 300 future appointments at any one time, the address book, and tasks and was easy to enter data into vs. the Audiovox SMT5600 I just retired (which was usless for data entry).
As a phone I find the sound quality very good. For long conversations or driving I use a bluetooth headset. MS Voice Command ($35) is a requirement for this phone as the buttons are too small to use while driving. VC is amazingly accurate on first request except for Media Player song names (I'm sure I will eventually discover a file naming convention VC will like).
The GPS was the kicker. The software does cost an extra $129 from HP but worked very well on my last trip. GPS lock in took less than 30 seconds from startup. I added a miniSD 1 gig card which holds GPS maps for all of California and Oregon and 250 songs, leaving my SD slot free in case I wish to add WiFi in the future.
As far as the CNET review, let's be real. You are not going to get a machine that does everything this does in this size format with blazing speed and good battery life. WiFi can be added through the SD slot and it is my understanding will be offered standard in the 6715. There is an optional battery with over twice the mAh. As far as Mobile 5.0 I am actually glad it was not on this device because our corporate PIM is Novell GroupWise and 5.0 is not supported at this time by Intellisync, which is my interface software.
I typically have 5 prorams running at once including GPS and speed is not an issue. For my money, this is a dream machine. For the price of a GPS device I got a PDA, phone, MP3 player, camera, voice and video recorder, and a flashlight to find my keys.
Highly recommended (remember - I did not test the Data services).17 out of 17 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: There is nothing better on the market. This thing blows away everything currently available in the US. I've pushed this thing to the limit with the addition of a 2 gig SDIO, Spectec Mini-WiFi Card, AnyCom BlueTooth Headset, Toshiba BlueTooth Headphones. I've ripped 9 albums on it, and have at least 10 videos. (Music and Video is outstanding. Hint: You need to compile your videos using Windows Movie Maker using the Pocket PC option.) I check both personal and business email, and have even used the terminal services to check server settings etc.
And Yeah, the professional review is way off… I think he inadvertently hit 6 instead of 9.9 out of 9 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I'm beginning to think the editor's reviews on CNET are near worthless. They give high marks to poor products that die within 90 days and low marks to incredible products. Case in point is this product. There can be no doubt this is the best phone/pda/email device on the market. The speed and performance is excellent. The user interface is incredible - truly incredible, and very easy to use, and full of delights. The feature set which includes quad band gsm, gps, as well as all the productivity and email tools one might reasonably need is beyond my expectations. My only complaint is the keyboard. I think the keys work well enough, but, the keys should be laid out in a straight line. The "curved shape" makes it much harder to use this keyboard than necessary. The battery life is no worse than a Treo. I purchased this to replace my Treo and will never again purchase another Palm product. I recommend this product without any reservation. I have been using smart phone/pda devices since 1995 and have evaluated all products on the market before purchasing this one.

Still needs better stability
by kevlarheart on January 6, 2006
Pros: All-in-one communicator, GPS and PIM
Cons: System stability, battery life, SUPPORT!

Summary: I purchased my HP 6515 almost a month ago and have put it thru the paces. The unit has all of the features anyone would want at a fairly resonable price.
That being said, there are some real issues with the HP 6515:
System Stability: Despite having a relatively stable Win Mobile 2003 OS, the HP 6515 experiences "hangs" requiring numerous soft resets per day. If I performed a soft reset once a WEEK on my old e740 it was a lot.
Battery Life: I think that HP did its battery ratings with almost all connectivity turned off. With Bluetooth and GPRS in operation, the battery drains rapidly. The extended battery is probably the way to go if one wants to use the PDA on an extended plane trip. Car Charger and USB charger are MUST HAVE accessories.
Support: There are some "known issues" with the HP 6515 including disappearing Contacts short cuts. HP Support has been less than stellar in resolving these issues as evidenced by their totally ignoring the various IPAQ Forums complaints. Methinks HP wanted to rush this uit into circulation for the holiday -- for shame!
Phone signal quality has been excellent. I purchesed the MS Voice Command software and it has worked flawlessly.
GPS receiver is a nice addition. Fiding the right software solution was a chore due to the 240 X 240 screen format.
Speaking of the screen format, PPC software vendors should be called to task for stating that their products are compatible with the HP 6515 -- most have truncated screens because they support the traditional rectangular format.
The lack of integrated WiFi is easily overcome by purchasing a mini SD WiFi Card. Mine is on order and according to at least one forum, the HP 6515 performs well.
What else? Oh I think that HP should have integrated the 128 MB chipset as opposed to the 64 MB. One can send the unit out for an upgrade for about USD 150.00 -- but seriously, with the unit in the UDS 600.00 to 800.00 range HP could have provided an out of the box 128MB product.
I would recommend the HP 6515 to power users in need of an integrated solution.Updated
After 6 months of extensive use, the HP hw6515 has proven an invaluable tool. Upgraded ROM and RAM have made this a true mobile communications/mobile computer platform. That my entire Outlook Contacts and Calendar can be synched with the HP saved my sanity when my laptop's hard drive conked out with over two-weeks of data not backed up.
With an SD and mini SD slots available options are limitless. I use the mini SD to store programs and the SD card for Music, GPS etc.
HP is still far from stellar in its support -- in fact I get more tech support from the Mobility Today Forum than I do from HP.5 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.
No disrespect to CNet but your review is lackluster as best
by t.sanders on December 28, 2005
Pros: Nice form factor, Integrated keyboard, Mini-SD and SD card clots, 1.3 Megapixel camera, Integrated GPS, Free Pocket Streets 2006, Windows Media Player 10, Pop3 email compatible
Cons: 240x240 display, Caller ID does not show state calling from, No call screening, Software supported is sub-par, No Cingular Wireless warranty, No built in WiFi, Mediocre Processor and RAM

Summary: If anyone actually used this device, you would easily find that there is more to this than meets the eye. The most real downfall of the device is the fact that the resolution is 240x240. Previously released PDA phones were 240x320 resolution. What does this mean? It means all the software that I have for PocketPC's do not work. This includes Handmark Monopoly, PocketPC chess, Palm Arcade Pack, and other goodies released by Jimmy software, King games, and other vendors (although most indicate that the device is supported on Handandgo) - this sucks because if the software does not work, do you get your money back? Make sure you try the trial before you buy. Back up data and hard reset if your device works funky after a program is installed.The problem with the resolution is that many applications were written to support 240x320 resolution which means you lose out on 80 pixels worth of data. In the 80 missing pixels, you have menu options, installation options, and items that you need to navigate many pocketpc programs. Nyditot helps to an extent but I do not like scrolling through programs that much, I'd rather see them compressed. Another downfall is the unit does not use .mp3 files as ringtones. It will use .wav and .mid (MiDi) files with ease.
The unit is compatible with all versions of activsync (including 4.1) - yea I wrote it. Many other reviews state that 3.8 is the latest supported version. This is incorrect because I am running 4.1. Microsoft indicates on their site that 4.1 is compatible with Windows Mobile 2003 which is what the device is running.
Did I mention that Pocket Streets 2006 is available for free to registered users? Did I mention that the units has built in GPS that works with Pocket Streets 2006? Did I mention the unit has Windows Media Player 10? In the CNet review, battery power is mentioned. Well, if you turn down the backlight and make sure the unit stands by after 30 seconds, than you will be fine throughout an entire day and some. This includes using a Bluetooth headset and conversing for 3 hours or so. I also have a 2GB SD card and a 512 MB Mini-SD Kingston memory cards. The Mini-SD runs my applications and the SD holds my music, pictures, video, and other data. Compatible headsets I've personally tested are the Jabra BT250v, BT500, BT800, Motorola HS850, and H500. Tell me who else has tested this device to this extent? Obviously not CNet.
Problems I've seen is once in a while, you need to close running applications because they continue to consume memory. The processor being a 312MHz with 64 MB RAM does a good job but HP could have come better with 128 MB RAM using the same or faster processor for the price. I also have an issue with not knowing the state people are calling from. Many of my prior phones had this feature although not listed as a feature. I tested the software that is supposed to do this and it works but the text is garbled due to resolution. Thank you Handandgo for stating that CityScape was compatible with this device. I have found freeware from shubhasoft.com that does do this but it runs separately as a program. It does not inform you of this information when a call is incoming. Programs I use on the device are Pocket Informant, Resco File Explorer, Pocket Breeze, and PocketPC Password. The camera is decent and the video is cool. The speakerphone is great along with the speaker that emits sound. The unit does not transmit sound to a wireless Bluetooth headset but it does to a wired Bluetooth headset which was wild but refreshing. I impressed people with this. The stereo jack is not a 3.5mm but a 2.5mm, you need to know this. Cingular does not offer a warranty. You will need to cover the device under you auto or home insurance.
I've written a lot here and touched upon many things. Feel free to leave a comment and I will answer it as best I can.

Summary: I love the features on this unit. It's awesome. Hardware GPS that locks onto a satellite in 3 seconds. Awesome. GPRS that works. Internet and POP3 email access on several accounts of mine. Awesome. Pocket PC that works (except for the 240x240 screen which was a dumb choice).
But, I have to reset this unit at least once a day, and sometimes several times a day, even when putting program files into SD card memory. Others have had this problem, so I'm not alone. If that were fixed, I'd say it's the best multi-purpose (or Smart) phone out there.4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.
A Great PDA!
by Fischer567 on September 4, 2006
Pros: Great for Multi-tasking; Easy to use; Lots of Accessories Included; Good MP3 Player; Camera; GPS!
Cons: Average Phone Program; Must Manually Control your Memory; Web Browser Could Use Update

Summary: For the price, this device is an absolute bargain! I use it as a phone, web browser, camera, MP3 player, GPS receiver, Storage Device, Note Pad, etc. A separate mp3 player and a GPS receiver alone would cost more combined than this phone. The list goes on and on. There is transcriber and letter recognition software to use for making notes. These programs work relatively well considering my sloppy handwriting. But, I prefer to use the keyboard provided. The keyboard is more than adequate to type quick messages or lengthy emails.
The phone software is a little buggy sometimes. It seems they could have done a better job here, but I'm sure you can buy third party software. You can't assign mp3 ring tones, or have special ring tones for different numbers. There is no auto update for the time via the cell towers. However, there is good time zone software, and changing the clock to your zone takes two seconds. There is a file manager so you can see everything that is on your pocket pc and storage card. The 6515 works great to edit and create word documents, send text messages, or sync up with your POP 3 Email. I use Gmail and the program on the device automatically configured all the settings when I put my email address in it. I can check and send my email anytime I want with the push of a button.
I have read complaints about the battery life; however, the battery provides good longevity. For example, when using the 6515 as an MP3 player while in "Flight Mode" (All wireless off) I got 1 hour worth of playing time for every 10-11% of my batter life. You do the math. That's nearly 10 hours of listening time! With good use of the phone, camera, messaging, and web browser, I can stretch the battery for 2 days. Standby and talk time is more than adequate. I use the manufacturers suggested techniques for extending the batter life by turning off the Bluetooth and IR when not in use. I turn the screen brightness down to the lowest setting and it is still easy to see under the sun.
I used the Bluetooth once to send a file to a Palm Treo 700p. It took a while to figure out how to sync the devices up, but after that, I could easily beam a file to the Treo by simply selecting a file in the File Manager. However, I think it's worth mentioning that the person using the Treo could not figure out how to send me a file. I fiddled with the Treo 700p a little bit and I can say that the Palm software is not as easy to use or as intuitive. The Windows Mobile Software that comes with the 6515 is a definite plus for Windows lovers.
As far as crashes go. I have not had a single crash yet. It's a computer, and like any computer, it needs to be reset every now and then to speed the processing power back up. People who have been complaining about crashes just don't have any fundamental understanding of how to use a computer. If you are running the Web Browser, signed onto MSN Chat, while editing a word document, talking on the phone, and using the GPS to locate your position all at once, then it might be a good idea to turn off a program or two before using the camera. Seems like common sense, no? It does get a little slow at times, but nothing that is too excessive. Just go into the memory manager and end programs you are no longer using. A reset, if required, only takes about 10 seconds of your time. I would recommend doing it at night before charging it. I reset it once every two days and it keeps the device working properly.Updated
I also use the Mini SD Card slot for a 2 GB storage card and it works perfectly. I use the Large SD slot for a WiFi card I bought for an extra 50 bucks on Ebay. Works perfectly3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I have been looking for a PDA/phone for quite some time. I have owned (and returned) the following in the last 2 years - Treo 650, Siemens SX66 (and audiovox counterpart), Samsung i730, and then numerous cell phones. All have their positives and negatives, as does this machine. However, I honestly have not found anything I cannot live with in the hw 6515.
From texting rapidly in meetings to the sound quality of the phone itself, I love it. I can e-mail in boring meetings, edit docs, e-mail the same docs, everything that I need to do.
Adding Voice command and a BT headset keeps me handsfree on the road (except WHEN are they going to enable VC to work with a BT headset? I have read a patch is coming sooner or later, but c'mon!)
All in all, I have found this package to be superior to the other that are out there. Once Cingular gets their poop in a pile and gets their high-speed network up like Sprint and Verizon already have, I will probably end up switching to a broadband capable device (hopefully the next generation of hw). Until then, I will love using this device.

The administration's top budget official estimated today that the cost of a war with Iraq could be in the range of $50 billion to $60 billion, a figure that is well below earlier estimates from White House officials.
In a telephone interview today, the official, Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., director of the Office of Management and Budget, also said there was likely to be a deficit in the fiscal 2004 budget, though he declined to specify how large it would be. The administration is scheduled to present its budget to Congress on Feb. 3.
Mr. Daniels would not provide specific costs for either a long or a short military campaign against Saddam Hussein. But he said that the administration was budgeting for both, and that earlier estimates of $100 billion to $200 billion in Iraq war costs by Lawrence B. Lindsey, Mr. Bush's former chief economic adviser, were too high.
Mr. Daniels cautioned that his budget projections did not mean a war with Iraq was imminent, and that it was impossible to know what any military campaign against Iraq would ultimately cost.

baby wipes
Even if you don't have a baby. Actually -- especially if you don't have a baby.
Usually my imagination conjures up a narrative a lot like the one on the pilot episode of "Lost," where it's a bit of a bumpy flight, then BAM! The back rips off and BAM! Half of us are dead. (I'm always in that half.)


text:
You think this 4.82 40 will drop his latest ESPN projections from Mel K, who had him 12th?
2 offensive lineman beat this time.
•Football Schedule•Basketball Schedule•Forum•About•ContactGOOD! This might dissuade the Bears from taking him. Ignore the whole Catfish thing, the guy just isn't a dynamite prospect. He's a middle linebacker who will make tackles and get lost in the middle of NFL caliber lines. He played one team with NFL caliber linemen and they spent the whole game doing mean things to him. He's a nice pick up in the late 2nd, early 3rd. This idea that he's a first round pick was laughable, now it should appear impossible.
He just isn't worth one of the top 50 picks in the draft.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
If the Bears confuse him with Urlacher then there is no hope for them. Brian was probably the most physically gifted linebacker the NFL has ever seen given his combination of size and speed. The worst part about Te'o is that the slimmed DOWN to run his absolute best 40 and this was what he came up with. He's short and light-dude is a WLB, not an MLB.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
After re-reading my comment, I realize I sound like I'm taking a shot at Urlacher. I meant it to be a shot towards Bears management. IMO they have been terrible in their decisions over the last few years whether it be drafting, trading, or free agency. They have had a championship caliber defense for the past ten years and have yet to put together a competent offense. Unfortunately, now it looks as if the window is slowly closing on that defense do to age. They may only have a few years left of being great defense. If this was Lovie and company it would not surprise me if they drafted Teo but hopefully the new regime has some sense to help Cutler out a bit. For the record, Teo is no Urlacher by any means of the imagination!
"I'll fire when I'm god damn good and ready! You got that?" - Pete "Maverick" Mitchel
In all reality, I see the Bears attacking the G and C positions in free agency. If Tyler Eiffert falls to them in the draft, they will take him, then they can use their second round pick on a tackle and hope he's the guy. Assuming a few pieces drop, I see the Bears addressing a combination of at least G\TE\T\C in the draft and free agency. Ideally you want to draft tackle because if Long and\or Clady hit open waters they'll demand a kings ransom. Guards and Centers are generally more affordable.
The Bears are reaping the benefits of being one of the worst drafting teams in the league. This draft more than ever is a big one because you have a closing window on your offense and you are really in QB Hell. I love Jay Cutler and he's good enough to not have to go out and upgrade at QB but not good enough (so far what he's shown) to win you a title.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Disclaimer: I can't ignore the Catfish thing. Lennay Kekua clocked him at a 4.28.
On a serious note, I agree with BrewstersMillions - he's about as good of a prospect as Rey Maulaluga was coming out of USC (who ran a 4.91). Not 1st Round material.
Don't text while driving.
Luckily for Te'o ILBs aren't asked to run 40 yards in a straight line. His other workouts were fine including the cone drill and shuttles. Thinking he is a late 2nd early 3rd guy is laughable. It is still very possible he goes in the first round, if you listen to people who actually know the draft instead of just retweeting 40 times.
I guess it depends on whether or not pro scouts see him as the player that got overmatched against Bama or the "Heisman contender" that had a hell of a lot of luck with deflected and underthrown balls this season. Personally, I've never seen a 1st rounder when I look at Te'o, some disputed 40 time isn't going to change that for me.
That said, why don't you ask a certain Super Bowl winning coach whether or not he thinks speed is important in an ILB? http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/2/25/4028664/john-harbaugh-manti-teo-40-gif
I will never understand why he's so solidly predicted to go in the first round. I'm going to laugh my ass off at whoever picks him, complete waste of a first round pick.
(and for reference I'm not saying that based on his 40 time, I'm saying it based on watching him play)
If your inner LB is running 40 yards, you have much bigger problems with your team than that guy's speed.
The 10 yard split and the various cone agility drills are far, far more important for a DL and ILB.
Show me a team drafting its inner linebackers on speed and I'll show you a team that has a high draft pick every year.
If your inner LB is running 40 yards, you have much bigger problems with your team than that guy's speed.
You must have missed Storm Klein against Indiana this year. I think he was within 30 yards of the running back, by the time he scored on the pass play, in the first quarter.
College. And, in fact, when we were in the midst of scheme issues.
Lance Briggs, for example, ran a 4.78.
Look, there is a difference between straight line speed, acceleration, and agility. Straight line speed means a lot for a CB, S, or WR. The further you are from the center, the more it means. As you get closer to the center, acceleration and agility mean much, much more.
An RB that can stop on a dime and cut, then hit top speed in two steps is going to have much more success than an RB that can run a 4.3 but has average cutting ability and takes several steps to accelerate. Barry Sanders is a perfect example.
there are absolutely circumstances where a DL or ILB will need straight line speed, but those circumstances are much fewer than when he'll need acceleration and agility.
If Teo kills the cone drills and has a good 10 yard split, you'll see one of the smart perennial playoff teams- Pats, Ravens, Steelers- take him late in the first round. Those teams have made a killing over the years taking guys that fell because other teams put too much attention into the 40.
I have other doubts about Teo. I'm just saying that basing his NFL future on his 40 is to miss what really matters.
Spielman ran a 4.85
Emmet Smith a 4.7
Jerry Rice a 4.6
If a team is considering drafting a MLB with its 1st round pick, he must be a stud who is capable of playing all three downs.
With Te'o, he is not an explosive player who is really athletic and capable being all over the field. At 6'1 and 241, you would expect more speed coming from a guy who has a first round grade on him.
Not to speak for anyone but when teo was in the running for heisman, a lot of the stats teo posted that Espn was force feeding the general college football public were actually equal to or very very close to shazier's stats. Yet shazier received no love compared to the great n mighty manti teo from south bend.
Ha, I'd prefer not to start a war of words on here because I enjoy reading the information and from time to time the opinions of Buckeye fans (also because it wouldn't be a fair fight as you would be heavily outmatched), but that is a fairly smug thing for you to say.
You're saying I'm smug yet you boast about how I would be heavily outmatched against you in a war of words? haha, ironic. And I doubt it.
I admit I like to take potshots at the Domers. If that makes me a bad person, then I guess I have to live in sin for the rest of my life haha. If you don't like me ripping on Notre Dame, I don't know what to tell you. Everyone deserves their own little irrational hatreds. Mine happens to be Notre Dame, and I'm not gonna apologize for it.
There was thread about Te'o running a slow 40 time. I posted about Shazier's excellent 40 time and made a dig at Notre Dame. If you don't like it, you don't have to reply to my posts, man . . .
D.Anthony, you should put a warning label on this one. I almost spit orange juice on my computer. I agree that 40 times aren't the most important factor in drafting a MLB. I think I just expected more out of the "all world' star. Te'slow??
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
Is the guy in the original pic running from Brady (C) Hoke? I only ask because he has food in his hand
Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.

Daylight Savings Time 2013: When do we spring our clocks forward?
Daylight Savings Time Starts in US/Canada on March 10, 2012
If you live in the USA or Canada, Daylight Savings Time 2012 starts on March 11, 2012. This means that, at 2 am, we "spring forward" and lose an hour of sleep but gain an hour of daylight.
Basically, in the early hours of Sunday, March 11, the clock will go from 1:59 am to 3:00 am.
The first day of Spring isn't until March 20, so you can keep wearing that moose sweater for another week.
States and territories that do not observeDST
Arizona, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands; as well as most of Saskatchewan and some parts of BC, Nunavut and Quebec, do not observe Daylight Savings Time.
iPhone Users, Beware of Daylight Savings Time
If you use your smartphone as your alarm clock, we suggest switching the phone to manual time settings and adjusting the time yourself if you actually have to be somewhere on March 10. If you're an adult, Daylight Savings Time is not a valid excuse for being late to work.
The iPhone has famously failed with DST more than once. With Android, it's better safe than sorry, since your random handset's firmware may choose March 10 as International Screw My Owner Day.


text: While we have seen an unprecedented amount of young prospects reach the majors this season, at ages earlier and earler, some didn't get the call until rosters expanded on Sunday. Some we have been talking about for months, some as recent as last week. With the waiver wires long since picked over, these September call-ups certainly are crossing over into our weekly Waiver Wire blog. Some can help you now, others are simply setting yourself up for next season.

Follow the SO/LIC Division on Twitter! @NDIA_SpecialOps
The SO/LIC Division was formed as an industry-based advocacy group and forum to discuss the utility of our Special Operations Forces (SOF) across the conflict spectrum- particularly in those cases below the level of conventional war in the spectrum of operations called Low Intensity Conflict (LIC).The mission of NDIA's SO/LIC Division is to assist industry, government, and the public in understanding the role of Special Operations Forces in our national security strategy and how these forces are integrated within our national military structure. In fulfilling this mission, the Division facilitates contact and cooperation between industry and SOF in order to help assure that SOF will have access to the ideas and technologies that originate in our nation's industrial and academic base. The SO/LIC Division, in concert with the established staff and resources of the NDIA, gives voice to the initiatives, concerns, and needs of the SOF community. Through meetings and symposia, the Division provides information on the wide range of matters involving SOF, LIC, and related national security issues. These issues encompass the range of missions that SOF might be assigned to perform or support. This includes both traditional combat roles and today's emphasis on such missions as counter narcotics, combating terrorism, helping to control the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, force protection, humanitarian assistance, and peacekeeping. This Division provides forums for discussion of SO/LIC requirements and access to SO/LIC leaders in the government and the military so that they may present the policy and procedures that guide their respective commands and agencies in meeting national security goals. We encourage interagency participation in all of our Division meetings and activities.The highlight of the year for the Division is the annual SO/LIC Symposium & Exhibition. Portions of the annual symposium's proceedings may be found on the NDIA website (http://www.ndia.org, select Resources tab in upper right-hand corner, scroll down to Online Proceedings). As the SO/LIC Division continues its valuable work, Industry members are invited to join the Division by contacting the Division's Chairman, Vice Chairman, or Executive Officer.

Providence Tourist Attractions
The state capital, Providence, situated at the northern tip of Narragansett Bay, was founded in 1636 and soon developed into a flourishing commercial port. It has a rich stock of restored buildings of the 17th-19th centuries, notably the John Brown House (1786), with a richly appointed interior, and the residence of Governor Stephen Hopkins (1707). Providence also has an unusual number of old churches, including the first Baptist church in America (1775). The shopping arcade, opened in 1828, was the first indoor arcade in America. The imposing domed State House (1901) was designed by the well-known firm of architects McKim, Mead and White. Below it are the Riverwalk and Waterplace Park, opened in 1997. The Rhode Island School of Design has a small but high-quality art collection. Pawtucket, to the north of Providence, was the cradle of American industry. In 1793 the fledgling United State's first "factory" opened here when Slater Mill set up its textile operation.
WaterFire Providence
WaterFire is a series of 100 bonfires that blaze just above the surface of the three rivers that pass through downtown Providence. Visitors can stroll along the river while listening to selections of classical and world music.
Museum of Art (Rhode Island School of Design)

What a fun rainbow scavenger. That clover is perfect! i suspect that one day the chicks will be walking and all of sudden there will be something in indigo.

Wonderful idea! I can't wait to see some of the other projects you and your girls have been working on!

I've always thought cornflowers were sort of indigo-colored. Not that finding them is terribly easy... You got a nice rainbow anyhow!

Neat! I love going on rainbow hunts with (or without) my kids, but have never been so organized as to make a spreadsheet. :) And I just skip indigo, because it's really extraneous (just there to give Biv a vowel, I think).

When was the last time that you shared the gospel with someone? The answer to this question can at times can lead us to feel ashamed because we just do not share the gospel as much as we should; if at all. Do we believe that the gospel is the power of God that leads to salvation? (Rom 1:16). Do we believe that everyone needs to hear the gospel and obey it? We may say wholeheartily that we believe these things, but do our actions show this?
"What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself" (James 2:14-17, NASB).
At times we are like those in this verse who say, "be warmed and filled" but do nothing to help them. These people claim to be Christians, but their actions do not show this to be true. If we really believe something to be true, will we not act? The Lord has given us a mission. If we really believe that the Lord wants us to evangelize, We will evangelize. If we really believe the gospel must be heard and obeyed for someone to be saved, we will tell it to the lost.
Do you have faith that the gospel is the power of God that leads to salvation? Do a lost person a favor. Prove it!

Restorative justice for veterans: The San Francisco Sheriff 's Department's Community of Veterans Engaged in Restoration (COVER)
from the article by Sunny Schwartz and Leslie Levitas:
....Veterans represent a rapidly growing segment of the jail population whose characteristics mirror those of the general jail population and include histories of substance abuse, inconsistent work histories and challenges related to maintaining family relationships.
Like most prisoners, they receive few services while incarcerated to address the myriad of health, mental health, and psychosocial issues that contribute to their incarceration and pose challenges upon release. The military discharge status of most justice-involved vets—less than honorable—makes them ineligible for many of the benefits and services offered by the Veterans Administration (VA).

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
December 7, 2010 Player Power Rankings Dustin Byfuglien Approaches the Elite
by Tom Awad
During the season, these rankings -- which appear on Mondays in concert with the overall NHL Power Rankings -- are based on player production in terms of Hockey Prospectus' GVT valuation metric. If you are unfamiliar with GVT and how it works, you can find more here.
Check out the full rankings below. We'll be back every Monday with new editions.
Hockey Prospectus: Player Power Rankings
These rankings are based on games through Dec. 5.
OGVT: Offensive GVT
GGVT: Goaltending GVT
DGVT: Defensive GVT
SGVT: Shootout GVT
GVT: Total GVT
Rank Player OGVT/GGVT DGVT SGVT GVT 1. Tim Thomas, G, Boston Bruins 21.0 -0.4 0.0 20.6
Comment: Over the past four seasons, who has had the league's best GAA and save percentage? If you chose Tim Thomas at 2.25 and 0.927, you would be correct.
2. Carey Price, G, Montreal Canadiens 16.2 0.0 0.0 16.2
Comment: Price has been much better than last year, but his team is helping him more, as well. Last year, the Canadiens scored 2.21 goals per 60 minutes with Price in net; this year the figure is 2.71. Combine that with a drop in Price's GAA from 2.77 to 1.96 and you understand why Montreal is atop the Northeast division.
3. Ondrej Pavelec, G, Atlanta Thrashers 15.0 -0.3 -1.3 13.4
Comment: There haven't been many Czech goaltenders in the NHL, but those who have made it, like Dominik Hasek and Tomas Vokoun, have been dominant. Pavelec's home city of Kladno has a reputation for producing good hockey players: It is also the birthplace of Jaromir Jagr.
4. Sidney Crosby, F, Pittsburgh Penguins 10.2 1.6 0.3 12.1
Comment: We're running out of superlatives for Crosby at this point. During his 15-game point streak, he has been involved in 60 percent of the Penguins' goals. His three-season total of 258 points is tops in the league, ahead of Alex Ovechkin's 253 and far ahead of No. 3 Henrik Sedin's 224.
5. Steven Stamkos, F, Tampa Bay Lightning 9.5 1.5 -0.3 10.7
Comment: It's a sign of how much respect Stamkos has garnered that his five-game goal-less streak is a cause for concern, but Tampa Bay should worry more about its goaltending, which has allowed 26 goals over the past five games and has a league-worst team save percentage of .875.
6. Jonathan Quick, G, Los Angeles Kings 8.1 0.5 1.8 10.4
Comment: Many were worried about Quick's mental toughness last season, but he's holding up well this year: five of his past six games have been one-goal affairs, with the Kings winning three of them.
7. Kris Letang, D, Pittsburgh Penguins 5.5 3.6 0.3 9.4
Comment: Among defensemen, Letang is second in points, first in even-strength points, fifth in plus-minus and fifth in on-ice shot differential, at plus-57. He shares only 40 percent of his ice time with Crosby, so you can't give Sid all the credit for Letang's gaudy numbers.
8. Alexander Semin, F, Washington Capitals 6.9 1.4 0.3 8.6
Comment: Semin should watch out for the penalties: he is taking far more than he draws, an abnormal situation for a talented scorer like him. This matters more when he's no longer scoring in bunches as he was earlier in the season.
9. Alex Ovechkin, F, Washington Capitals 6.3 1.5 0.8 8.5
Comment: People made far too much of Ovechkin's nine-game goal-less streak: Is it really that bad that the league's most dangerous goal scorer is also developing into a threat as a playmaker? Ovechkin had eight assists over the nine games, and is tied for second in the league with 23.
10. Dustin Byfuglien, D, Atlanta Thrashers 7.3 1.3 -0.3 8.4
Comment: Sometimes being a defenseman can boost your offensive totals. In Chicago, Byfuglien was used on the power play as a screen and net-crasher; he registered points on only 38 percent of the power-play goals Chicago scored while he was on the ice. This season, playing the point, he has been involved in 68 percent of Atlanta's PP goals, one reason he is seventh in the league in power-play points.

Comment Quick Links
Post-season success can foreshadow a big year, which seems to be true of Byfuglien (16 pts in last year's post-season). Byfuglien wasn't even a point-a-game player in the WHL, nor the AHL. He's poised to set his career high in points by game 35. Age 24/25 is also the most common ages for breakthrough seasons - everything is coming together for him. Atlanta is a fascinating team in general; Andrew Ladd is also 25, scoring at a point-a-game pace, and set to exceed anything he did in the WHL, AHL or NHL (career best 49 points). How about Anthony Stewart - 12 points in 105 NHL games, now he has 15 in 28. And yes, of course Ondrej Pavelec, whose accomplishments look even better when you compare it with his veteran partner Chris Mason. SV%: 94.7% vs 89.7% GAA: 1.71 vs 3.90 They're currently 8th in the league - we had them pegged for 25th in Hockey Prospectus 2010-11.

Im asuming that the HD6950 will be 28-32% faster then the HD6870, the HD6970 will probably be faster then the HD6950 in 18-20% so yeah, add an imaginary 40-50% to the HD6870 http://tpucdn.com/reviews/HIS/Radeon_HD_6870/images/perfrel_1920.gif
From those numbers would you not agree that it could be around the speed of the 5870 and 6850 crossfire for the 6970 and 6950? I'm really hoping for around that or even a little more with some overclocking, if the 6970 can do that without using too much power then it's the card for me.
Why is everyone screaming about scaling? They look like their scaling better than the 5xxx series or am I wrong?
scaling is so bad!!! on 640x480 it only scales 60% and in a game that does 200fps on a single, it only does 300fps in CFX!!! Who cares about metro 2033 or Crysis r any of those demanding games... who cares about the 95% scaling in the modern games that play less then 100fps?
What happened here (note the 5970 & 6870 Crossfire performance)? GTX 460 review: 6870 Crossfire review:
They better be different results. Looking at both reviews and comparing them together side by side, WIZ used different quality settings than Guru3D. We are talking about complete different video settings. That is why the results from both sites differ. There's nothing wrong with transparency, the HD 6870 Crossfire X setup on both sites slaughtered anything and everything along with having the best price/performance ratio IMO. This get's me to think how much faster can the HD 6900 series be if the HD 6800's scale good in Crossfire X. That must be a typo or something. Maybe something went wrong with the setup just like what n-ster said bellow me.
using directx 11 now. i rebenched all cards in wow for that. and crossfire does not properly support wow so the performance sucks
It's the part where it (it = 5970) was getting 125.4 FPS so recently and now 54.9. So DX11 in WoW means byebye X-fire?
You should update Heaven to 2.1 and Catalyst 10.10a hotfix, what's the hold up if you please! Where is the power consumption?
Hmm with a name like that i'm sure that has to be the 16gb version, the Asus Super 6999 X2 Extreme Ares II would of corse only have 8gb of ram
If the new shader architecture scales well, the most we can expect from these cards is a 70% improvement over the 6870. which would be freaken epic.
of corse, they could hardly call it ultra without the ability to run 4 dual chip cards... although maybe they are waiting for pci-e 3 to come out If that is the case i will happly dump the 2 6870's that i have not even recived yet and get one... or maybe two 6970's
would be sacaring to see 3 or 4 way fire with how great the scaling is to bad you can only do 2 way. i bet 6950-70 can do 4 way!
The only reason I'm going to quadfire my 6990s is to hit 1k fps on solitaire so it's buttery smooth after i dominate it. If it can't scale to get that then it is not worth anything to me...
Something I've never understood about the framerate deal. Who cares after it passes 60? Monitors only refresh at 60-85hz correct? After 90 the human eye can't tell and it goes into the subliminal message world. Having said that, it does not detract from my previous statement that I want 1,000 fps in solitaire. And 500 fps in farmville.

Remember me
quote KubrickPost-Game is okay with me, but at the end of post-game? I hated that about the second set of PMD games. :c It's like "oh everyone can evolve except us, haha, what a coincidence ". Um, no, it's not funny. B|
quote QuixoticWait, traditionally, we only evolve post game? That's kinda odd. I'd rather evolve during the main story, preferrably after an awesome moment. XD

I have installed a 32" Brushed Nickel Frameless shower door. The space where I am installing it has rounded corners and the door has squared edges. I got it as close as I could to the bottom, but now there is a 5/8" gap between the bottom of the door frame and the shower stall. What should I use to fill this void and sill look good? I was thinking of filling it with silicone and using something as a backer. Any suggestions? | |||
Got a picture? I see no way that much of a gap is not going to leak at some point. joecaption | ||||
You're going to have to take some things apart. Take the two channels that are against the outside walls. Then remove the bottom track and round off the lower corners. You can use a file or belt sander to do this. Then reassemble everything. If you want to kick yourself while doing this go back and look at the instructions - should be about step #3 or so.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Jaybee, Jaybee | ||||
I agree that is probably the best solution. The instructions said to use a "filler" but they did not specify what the filler was. It is a Kohler door. I have a rotary tool to file it down, so hopefully that will work well. I see a lot of sanding and checking for fit. I will try to make a template with cardboard or something. Thanks for your help. | ||||

Terrace Tastings
Please Note: Joseph Phelps Vineyards is embarking on a major renovation project at the Guest Center in St. Helena. Construction is expected to begin in January 2014 and is targeted for completion during Spring 2015. Preparations are already underway for our move to a temporary Guest Center, which will be located in the vineyard at the base of the hillside below our current facility. More details will be available soon. Thank you.
