Why the new Mac Pro might be the most exciting Apple product since the iPad
Could the new Mac Pro be the most interesting piece of hardware Apple's fielded since the original iPad? Guy English, my co-host on Debug and Ad Hoc makes a great case for why it just might be so. From his Kickingbear blog:
This machine fascinates me not because it seems like it'll make everything I currently do faster. It fascinates me because it's fundamentally new. There's only one CPU socket and it bets heavily on the bus and GPU performance. While this looks to software to be just another Mac it isn't. It's capabilities aren't traditional. The CPU is a front end to a couple of very capable massively parallel processors at the end of a relatively fast bus. One of those GPUs isn't even hooked up to do graphics. I think that's a serious tell. If you leverage your massively parallel GPU to run a computation that runs even one second and in that time you can't update your screen, that's a problem. Have one GPU dedicated to rendering and a second available for serious computation and you've got an architecture that'll feel incredible to work with.
I'm now factorially more excited about this machine, and like Guy, not just because of what it is, but because of what it might allow to be.

Why the new Mac Pro might be the most exciting Apple product since the iPad
You nailed it. The old Mac Pro always had pro appeal, and maybe some consumer appeal back when the aluminum enclosure was first rolled out. Back in 2006. You may have seen one on the Tony Hawk MTV Cribs episode. But Apple didn't do anything to increase its appeal outside the under-the-desk pro market. Sales declined over the years, in part because of zero consumer appeal. (High-end consumers, of course.)
The cylindrical Mac Pro fixed all that. It's an object of desire, something that iMac buyers will all want but that most won't be able to justify. I'm sure Tony Hawk will get one of the first, but not necessarily because he needs the power. Sure, he does some of his own video editing, but probably no more than an iMac or MacBook Pro could handle easily. He'll get the new Mac Pro because it's cool and because he wants it and can afford it. And he won't be the only one. The old Mac Pro just doesn't have that kind of appeal.
My guess is that there are many more affluent consumers out there than there are "pro" users. If so, Apple has expanded the market for the new Mac Pro far beyond its old market.
Agreed that was their intention...and, without sounding pejorative, making a sleek, fast "Mac Prosumer" is probably a smart business decision to move more units. The complaints are coming from actual pros with esoteric performance needs, who have, in the past, always been told "...for you we have the Mac Pro" and now have nowhere to go in the OSX world. As these people have been some of the strongest Mac backers even through Apple's darkest hours, they are naturally upset and angry.
The Final Cut Pro release is actually a good parallel. Like FCPX, the Mac Pro appears to be a strong upgrade in some respects that takes away features a large portion of the current customer base considers indispensable. Had they released FCPX as another application under a different name, consumers still would have bought it, and pros would have salivated at the prospects of those updates coming to their version over the next 18 months. The same goes with the Mac Pro; had it been called the Mac Torus, Tony Hawk would still buy it, and Mac Pro customers would not be looking for an out. Now, they are, because the difference between FCPX and the new Mac Pro is that in the former case Apple could restore missing features with software updates; that is impossible with the Mac Pro.
It's also going to be several thousand dollars.
Yea, if all you need is CPU power, a couple of i7 minis will probably blow this thing out of the water. It's the GPUs (as the article indicates) and faster buss, RAM, etc that is where the difference will be. It isn't anything all that special outside of that other than the industrial design of the case. What remains to be seen is if Apple has worked the kinks out of OpenCL with the other software venders, and revamped their own pro apps enough to make CUDA irrelevant... otherwise, most pros won't touch it, from what I understand.
All the pros I've asked aren't all that excited about it. It's either going to have to be cheap enough for pros (as in people doing real work, but wanting a bit more power than a mini or iMac), or be convincing enough for the pros (video editors, etc) to spend lots of extra cash on externalizing stuff. And, even then, that can't really include, as far as I can tell, upgrading GPUs (external won't work for that either).
It will be a fascinating desktop computer, but the lack of expandability and upgradability, as well as the forced reliance on tb2 over cheaper and faster PCIe, shuts out a good portion of the people who to date have been Mac Pro customers.
This has been said before about floppy drives and Blue-ray. Please, at least be original. lol
- As stats have shown, large case based systems/desktops have been in decline for some time. It was bound to go to external based peripherals and chassis at some point. Apple jumped on Intel's TB train quickly once it realized the potential. Most Mac Pro users are after large amounts of data storage.
NOTE: Video Card upgrades don't happen but every 2-3 years on average, IF THAT.. By the time that happens, a Mac Pro user is looking at new cards that REQUIRE a whatever new PCIe bus technology that is currently out ANYWAY. In order to to take advantage of whatever new PCie bus version is out at the time they end up looking at a NEW system anyway.. So the PCIe port complaint is really mute in MOST circumstances because you can't upgrade the PCIe BUS itself ANYWAY.
Realizing that, Apple decided to focus on external upgradability.
After looking at the CURRENT price points of the Mac Pro, you should also realize that a large part of the cost is in the storage. They've basically pushed that to external bays that any vendor can get in on. This is good for 3rd party vendors and can drive prices down. Competition..
Because of the above.. I'm betting price of entry in to a new Mac Pro is going to be lower. I'm betting this starts around $1500-2k .. depending on the SSD/CPU/Memory/GPU.. Past that, added costs will all be based on the needs of what external SSD/HDD arrays and other peripherals will be required.
- Floppies and optical media were supplanted by better options. The jettisoning of expandability gives reduced performance and options in return for a smaller chassis -- for a market for whom speed and flexibility, not physical footprint, is a priority.
- You are not the type of user who upgrades video cards. Great. Don't speak for those who do, who now face getting an entirely new machine at a few thousand dollars rather than spending a few hundred dollars to extend the life of working equipment another few years. That assumes, of course, that Apple even offers regular replacements for the Mac Pro line, which, given recent history, is no safe bet.
- "Large part of the [current] cost is in the storage". 30 seconds at store.apple.com would show that you are wrong. If you buy a whole bunch of *extra* internal storage, that can get expensive. But it is still far less expensive than the equivalent amount of storage in external chassis. (And faster, too.)
- You do realize that any vendor can get in on external storage arrays now?
Actually many pros DO upgrade their video cards. PCIe x16 slots have been around for some time, if memory serves. Here's the thing. If you're doing 3D rendering or After Effects, etc... a 10% performance gain is well worth a few hundred dollars. Sure, even a few thousand isn't unobtainable, then, but it's harder to justify to the bean-counters than a new card (GPU) for the new computer you just got last year.
Re: "Have one GPU dedicated to rendering and a second available for serious computation and you've got an architecture that'll feel incredible to work with."
Yup. Apple's hard work on OpenCL will help the Mac Pro immensely. And it points a finger directly at Intel. As in "See? Look what we need to do in order to boost raw processing power while you struggle with optimizing that excessively complex legacy CISC x86 instruction set. Just adding more CPU cores isn't enough any more."
so sayeth the company that offers a workstation with only 1 cpu.
Hehe, yea, I'm hoping Apple will pull off lowering the overall price for the Mac Pro line with this, as I don't think it's really going to compete on speed with other workstations based on similar architecture. But, it's going to be plenty fast enough for what most pros would do with it. Think of what making similar moves with SSD in laptops has done to the feel of Apple's laptops, despite, in some cases, much less actual CPU power (like MBA).
The hard-core pros who need multiple GPUs of a certain type, or lots of cards, or pure CPU computing power, etc. are probably going to look elsewhere. But, how many of those are there compared to pros who just need a bit more machine than a mini or iMac? I see this machine more aimed at the latter. And, if Apple really does pull off OpenCL, with the dual ATI GPUs in this thing, it just might be decent for some of the hard-core pros as well.
The CPU issue is a minor nit, the big problem is Apple not supporting CUDA and only going ATI and OpenCL. They basically choose the worse of the two solutions, then chose the worse of the two GPU platforms to support it.
Given the FirePro GPUs I don't think it'll be a great machine for gaming.
Sent from the iMore App
You could easily best this machine with a $1000 Windows-based gaming rig, so why pay twice that if your only goal is gaming?
Hell, you could even dual-boot a custom rig with hackintosh OSX, or run it in a VM, if you're desperate for your Apple fix.
The only interesting aspect of this "Pro" system is the form factor; but, even that novelty wears off quickly once you realize that it's almost impossible to upgrade down the road without spending ridiculous amounts of money on breakout boxes or buying an all-new machine... screw that!
EDIT: Here's an example -- the Magma ExpressBox 3T thunderbolt breakout box for PCIe cards is over $1000!
A pair of these will make for a hefty OS X server solution methinks. Able to drive large SAN's for instance....
I'd just buy a mini (or a few of them) and throw an SSD inside. This thing, outside the dual GPUs, doesn't really look like that much of a computing monster to me. A benchmark came out a bit ago, and a friend of mine remarked that his couple year old 'hackintosh' is nearly as fast, at least on Geekbench scores. It's only a single CPU. The bus is faster than the CURRENT Mac Pro, but not as fast as some other stuff already on the market. The flash-RAM storage is going to be fast, but again, my friend has something quite similar in his box (flash-RAM right on a PCIe bus card) in his box.
In other words, aside from the GPU setup, I'm doubting this box is going to be much of anything special speed-wise. It's going to be zippy, in the same way a mini or iMac is zippy with a SSD compared to the HD based model... but nothing all that special compared to the 'build-it' market or other workstation machines. There once was a time when Mac Pros WERE about the fastest thing that could be bought. I don't think this is going to be one of those times.
I'm looking at the feasibility for this as a home hub/server/workhorse for the next 5+ years.
Our kids are in primary, so good software is inexpensive to play with/use.
Pardon the reference, but I am looking at this as our family truck.
One interesting theory I read is that the new Mac Pro only has one CPU because Apple can't/won't get NUMA working in Mac OS X (NUMA comes into play when you have two CPUs, and is disabled in firmware in the current Mac Pro).
Also, it seems a bit much for Guy to describe the machine as "fundamentally new". There is nothing fundamentally new about a PC with two graphics cards. It may be a new standard config for a Mac, but if you look at systems from HP with similar specs (like the Z820) you can get a PC with two CPUs and three 16x PCIe slots - so you could stick three graphics cards in there if you so desired.
I think Guy thinks Apple invented OpenCL/CUDA or unaware that such feats are currently possible on the existing MacPro. Either way, Guy seems a bit ignorant on this.
I'm not sure about that "1 GPU is not even used for displays" comment. The new Mac Pro will drive (3) 4k displays. I doubt a single GPU can do that.
As for expansion, this is the most expandable computer on the market. Easily. True it has no /internal/ expansion, but if you need a PCIe card, just buy a breakout box and attach it. That's what thunderbolt essentially is; PCIe expansion.
If you need a new video card, buy a PCIe breakout box and plug in your new video card. It's that easy. What would be really cool, and I'm guessing it will work this way, is if an external video card is driving the displays, the OS X can use both GPUs for acceleration. 6 thunderbolt ports is incredible.
I'm hoping it's start @ $2k or $2200.
People who are into the whole "thunderbolt expansion" aspects of the new Mac Pro and think everyone should just "deal with it" are ignoring the fact that while some people are ok with external expansion, others are not, and that internal expansion for the current Mac Pro is more affordable than external expansion for this new Mac Pro for the simple fact that internal expansion on the current Mac Pro is PCI-e and external Thunderbolt expansion hasn't really gained any traction thus far in the two years that it's been on the market. Apple thinks it can drive Thunderbolt adoption with this thing, but that hasn't been proven yet and I remain skeptical about it. You may think that peripherals will arrive soon, but that hasn't happened in two years. What if, by the time external Thunderbolt2 devices show up, this non-upgradeable machine is obsolete? Sorry, I'll pass. Even if it turned out to be a super computer in a trash can shape, it's just not for me and doesn't meet my needs. I make no apologies for that, and can't be swayed by talk of "But it's more expandable than anything ever because it has Thunderbolt ports". You may like cable and device clutter. I don't, and have no intention of getting involved with it. I could possibly get past the shape of it if it allowed internal expansion but with none, it's just not for me and that's just the way it is.

Brad and Beverly Tompkins who live on Saints Delight Road in the Sampit area say they are very grateful to a neighbor whose quick actions are being credited for saving their lives – as well as the lives of a one-month-old baby they were baby-sitting, two dogs and a deer that were all inside the home.
Stacey Hughes-Simpson was on her way to work before 7 a.m. Tuesday when she saw smoke coming from the home of Brad and Beverly Tompkins, across from BB Smith's Store.
She told the Georgetown Times she knows the couple and knew they would not be outside burning leaves before 7 a.m. so she took a closer look and saw the house was actually burning.
"I drove my car up to the porch and forced open the front door," Hughes-Simpson said.
Everyone was still asleep so the woman began yelling telling them their house was burning.
Mrs. Tompkins handed Hughes-Simpson the baby while she hurried to help her husband and pets out of the house.
"I am just very grateful I was passing by at the right time," Hughes-Simpson said. "I was working off of adrenaline."
Mr. Tompkins said if it had not been for his neighbor "we may have perished in there."
All but one of the family dogs made it out safely.
That dog, Mrs. Tompkins said as she fought back tears while holding her other two pets, suffocated under a bed.
As for the deer, it is now 6-years-old and has been raised by the Tompkins since it was a fawn. The couple found the baby deer next to a road after its mother was struck and killed by a vehicle.
"I lost children so I replaced them with animals," Mrs. Tompkins said.
Vickie Tompkins, the mother of Brad Tompkins, said she is very thankful her son and daughter-in-law survived the fire.
"The material stuff can be replaced," she said.
Two things that did survive the fire are a Bible translator Vickie Tompkins had given her son for Christmas and a scrap book she had made.
"I don't know what we will do," Mr. Tompkins said.
He praised county firefighters for their efforts.
"They were here before I got my pets out," he said.
Assistant Georgetown County Fire Chief Tony Hucks said the cause of the fire appears to be electrical.

Threat Assessment
Threat assessment is a structured group process used to evaluate the risk posed by a student or another person, typically as a response to an actual or perceived threat or concerning behavior. Threat assessment as a process was developed by the Secret Service as a response to incidents of school violence. Washington follows the model initially developed by the Secret Service. Information about the Secret Service model is available on the National Threat Assessment Center.
The primary purpose of a threat assessment is to prevent targeted violence. The threat assessment process is centered upon on analysis of the facts and evidence of behavior in a given situation. The appraisal of risk in a threat assessment focuses on actions, communications, and specific circumstances that might suggest that an individual intends to mount an attack and is engaged in planning or preparing for that event.
In a situation that becomes the focus of a threat assessment inquiry or investigation, appropriate authorities gather information, evaluate facts, and make a determination as to whether a given student poses a threat of violence to a target. If an inquiry indicates that there is a risk of violence in a specific situation, authorities conducting the threat assessment collaborate with others to develop and implement a plan to manage or reduce the threat posed by the student in that situation.

The Berkeley County School District is focusing on school safety, improved communication, growth and fiscal responsibility.
That's the message Berkeley County School Superintendent Rodney Thompson delivered to Berkeley Chamber of Commerce members during a recent address at the Redbank Club in Goose Creek.
Thompson delivered similar information at a recent school board meeting, although this presentation was more geared toward the business community and preparing future generations to be prepared to go to college or into the workforce.
Thompson said he's been working with local law enforcement to keep schools safe and that the district will have twice as many security cameras by the time the new school year starts in August.
The district has grown by about 1,000 students in the last year. Thompson compared this with an Easter Sunday church service at a 1,000-capacity church when 1,100 people show up. He said you can't turn them away.
New schools are on their way, and older ones in need of serious repair will be renovated. Major renovations will take place at Goose Creek and Cross high schools as well as Marrington Middle School.
"If you own a home or vehicle that's over 20 years old it will require maintenance," Thompson said.
In order to be fiscally responsible Thompson said the district has increased its reserve fund: "It's important that as we go into building phases that we keep 17 percent in the reserve fund," he said. "If a hurricane or natural disaster strikes our employees could stay on the payroll."
Thompson said learning is not the same today as it was five, 10 or 15 years ago. He said the district is making learning relevant and teaching skills in high school that will be used in the real world.
Chief Academic Officer Kevin O'Gorman followed Thompson at the podium to tell the audience about teaching common core skills.
O'Gorman said that in first grade students are learning while on the job. Multiple choice test questions no longer have one correct answer; students must now pick all the correct answers, even if three of them are correct.
O'Gorman said the district will no longer focus on skill sets the business community doesn't need. "We need to create assessments that apply to the real world," he said. "Relevance and relationships keep kids in school."
Students need to know that what they're learning in ninth grade will be applied to what they're doing two years after graduation, and that students need to identify with a teacher, coach, guidance counselor or school club.
"You'll see kids interested in what they're learning," he said. "They're not just sitting there like drones in desks taking in information like I did when I was in high school."
BCSD Community Engagement Coordinator Amy Kovach said the workforce in the Lowcountry mirrors that of the state. She said the governor's office put out an integrated work plan that says 43 percent of the workforce has low-skilled jobs, meaning they don't need a high school diploma.
These workers earn about $440 per week if they're lucky, she said. "That's the maximum they can earn."
About 30 percent of workers have a high school diploma and make on average $767 per week in jobs such as retail and as bank tellers, according to Kovach.
She said 11 percent of the workforce has a two-year college degree, which takes their earning potential up to $1,038 per week.
She said there are significant economic opportunities for the workforce through additional training and education.

Release: 05/15/2014
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- Four UNM student-athletes, skiers Armin Triendl and Mats Resaland, men's tennis player Mads Hegelund and women's tennis player Michaela Bezdickova, were all named to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District VII At-Large team. The four will advance to the national ballot and vie for Academic All-American honors.
The four honorees brings New Mexico's total for the year to 13, the second-most in school history behind the 16 that UNM garnered last year. The 29 over a two-year period is easily the most fertile two-year span in the school's history.
The teams were made up of eligible athletes (3.3 or higher, sophomore and no first year students/transfers) from the following sports: Swimming and Diving, Ice Hockey, Water Polo, Golf, Crew, Women's Field Hockey, Gymnastics, Men's Volleyball, Lacrosse, Bowling, Rifle, Men's Wrestling and Fencing. District VII made up all Division I schools in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
New Mexico's four All-District honorees tied with Notre Dame for the fourth-most by any school in the at-large category, behind Alabama (8), Georgia (6) and Stanford (5).
Michaela Bezdickova, a senior from Olomouc, Czech Republic, has a 4.03 GPA and is majoring in finance. She is a seven-time All-Mountain West selection, having earned the honor in singles in all four seasons, and in doubles three times. She led UNM to its highest conference finish this season and a spot in the MW championship match.
Mads Hegelund, a senior from Copenhagen, Denmark, has a 3.93 GPA and is majoring in psychology. He went 16-9 in singles, including 12-5 in dual meets, and 15-7 in doubles as UNM advanced to the MW title game and won 20 amtches for the first time since the 2009 season.
Armin Triendl, senior from Oberperfuss, Austria, has a 4.10 GPA and is majoring in finance. He was a 2012 Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America, but he missed the entire 2013 season with a knee injury. He bounced back from that to finish second in the NCAAs in the slalom, earning First Team All-America honors.
Mats Resaland, a senior from Kongsberg, Norway, has a 4.04 GPA and is majoring in business Administration. He finished third at the NCAAs in the Nordic Freestyle, earning his third All-America honor of his career.

It was just a few months ago that NFL star Darren Sharper was arrested after he was suspected of 7 rapes in 4 states, and now another NFL star is in the headlines for sexual assault.
This time around, it's 49ers star Colin Kaepernick. Yesterday morning, it was reported that the football star was under investigation over an April 1st "incident" that happened between him, two other NFL players, and an unidentified woman he had a previous sexual relationship with. According to a police incident report taken April 3rd, the woman alleges that she, Colin, and two other football players, were all in a Miami apartment together when she mixed drinks for the players, but was told she had to take a hit off a bong before they would take any of her shots. So she did and the next day, she woke up in a hospital without knowing how she got there.
According to the incident report, she doesn't remember much from that night except feeling light-headed after the hit and she went to take a nap in one of the bedrooms. She says Colin followed and began kissing and undressing her before leaving and telling her he would return. Later on, the two other football players – Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette and 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton – opened the bedroom and peeked inside. She allegedly told the men to get out and asked for Colin. Though the men left, that's where things get sketchy because she claims she doesn't remember anything else after that.
What hasn't been widely reported in the news is that the Miami police have come forward and stated that there was no evidence that a sexual assault took place, nor a crime. The MPD says that TMZ took the report out of context and Colin is not under investigation at this time.
"There's no evidence of a crime or a sexual assault," Miami Police spokesman Rene Pimental said. "This report is simply an incident report taken at the woman's request. … there are no specific allegations of wrongdoing."
It can be assumed that a rape test was performed at the hospital which proved that an assault didn't take place during the time young lady was unconscious.
Colin also released a statement via his Twitter account:
The charges made in the TMZ story and other stories I've seen are completely wrong. They make things up about me that never happened. I take great pride in who I am and what I do, but I guess sometimes you have to deal with someone who makes things up. I want to thank all of the people who have shared their encouraging sentiments. I assure you that your faith is not misplaced.
These athletes have to be more careful and make better decisions during their down time. One bad situation can be career-ending.
Currently, Colin is seeking an $18-20 million contract extension from the 49ers.
He definitely dodged a bullet on this one.

text: The Scott Skyhawk boys basketball team soared into the state Class AA tournament next week at the Charleston Civic Center on the wings of a last-second victory over Poca. Coach Nick Cabell's squad picked up their victory Wednesday evening, March 6, at Poca in the Region IV showdown.The Hawks, rated seventh in the Class A division, will meet Fairmont Senior in the tourney's opening round Thursday, March 14. The complete tournament line-up is included in a separate story in this issue.Scott got into the tussle with the Dots when they fell to Tolsia in the section 2 title game last week. Under current tournament procedures, the runner-up in each of two sections meets the winner of the other section in a regional finale. The winners of those two games move on to the state tourney with the losers being eliminated from further post-season competition.Cabell felt Scott's young team would likely be seeded between sixth and eighth in the Double A field. Eight teams from each of West Virginia's three classes go to the big dance in Charleston. Cabell said, "I just hope we aren't seeded eighth. It would be a severe test for a young team to have to play the number one team, Bluefield, first."On the other hand, Cabell said he is "just happy to be going to Charleston." He added, "We got lucky Wednesday night."That "luck" came on a Poca foul with just eight-tenths of a second remaining in the contest and Scott trailing by one. 20 stepped to the line and calmly sank two free throws. A desperation toss by Poca sailed innocently to the court and Scott had their one-point win and a ticket to Charleston.After pairings for the tournament were announced over the weekend, Cabell said he and his coaching staff had looked at Fairmont Senior in game film. "They are fast and know how to get the ball up and down the floor," said the coach. "I've told our guys they'll have to get back on defense or we'll be in big trouble."Nothing Cabell has seen scares him going into the contest, however. "They are good, no doubt," the mentor said. "But they are about on the level with some teams we play during the season from what I see on the film."Being seeded seventh means Scott's young team must advance in a bracket that includes the number two team as the top squad. A finale against top-ranked Bluefield would take place on Saturday, if the Hawks make it through the first two rounds. During the regular season, Scott lost twice to the powerful Beavers.Cabell expected the school to host a pep rally Thursday morning before the squad departs for Charleston. While he thought he might take team members to the tournament on Wednesday "to get used to the atmosphere," Cabell said they would return to Madison Wednesday evening. The coach said he was still undecided whether the squad would stay in Charleston if they win Thursday. "We'll decide if we're staying in Charleston based on that first game," Cabell said. Updates concerning the team will be available from this newspaper or fans can call my cellular phone, 304-533-5185, for any available information.

thick, solid, comfortable!
By Doctor B
from New York City
I am still getting used to this jacket. But its obvious its well-made. The leather is thick, rugged, but comfortable. Great stitching. Zippers well-placed. Very attractive. At first I was concerned that this jacket was a bit too heavily padded in the abdomin. The fit is snug but not quite as snug as some motor cycle jackets can be. I am thin and I thought the jacket might be perhaps a bit too bulky. However, as it has softend with use, the fit has improved, conformed to my body, and has generated many compliments. I have worn this with only a t-shirt but also, as the weather has turned colder, with a heavy wool undershirt. Very nice fit. Very warm. Versitile. Overall I'd say an excellent jacket that will last many years.
Better than I expected!
By M
from Superior, CO
I've never ordered a leather clothing product online, and I was very skeptical at first about how it would look when it was delivered. Overland did not disapoint! The jacket I ordered is beautiful and the price was very reasonable. It was delivered on time and I would definitely order again from them in the future.
Excellent Customer Service

Bought a jacket from the Omaha store and when we got home we found a small problem. Emailed the store and they informed me that they would be sending a fedx pickup. A couple of days later my replacement jacket arrived. Couldnt ask for bettery service.
Awesome inside and out.

You will not be sorry with this purchase. I knew the first time I put it on. This is the real deal. Great service. and confort and style.
Incredible Jacket
By Chris
from Portland, OR
Bought this jacket for daily use. Incredible quality. The leather is far thicker and tougher than that on any leather jacket I have had in the past. It is incredibly comfortable and fits me like a glove. Very stylish, yet rugged and durable. Absolutely love it!

About Me Classic Dresser
Looks great, well made and finished. I've only had it for a couple weeks but seems durable. This is not a lightweight leather jacket, it is substantial. It has some heft to it, but can easily wear on a cool evening and not look or feel to heavy. It has a form fitted cut, so may want to go up a size. I am 6'1" and 180, sleeve 34-35, a XL fits great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga 78, Georgia Southern 53
Asheville, N.C. - Kimmel Arena
Saturday, March 9, 2013
Head coach Wes Moore
- On the sluggish start
"Yeah, I always think that the team that played the day before has a little bit of an advantage the first 10 minutes or so because they've gotten those tournament jitters out of the way, and your kids are still kind of trying to find themselves a little bit. We took a little different approach this year; we came in here rested up. It took us a little while to get going, but I think it's an advantage to have the day off, in the last 30 minutes or so."
- On the last 10 minutes
"That's what I talked about. I hate calling a timeout then, but I just wanted to remind them, 'We're going to be counting on some of you the rest of this weekend and we need to play well; get confidence and momentum.' I thought we started out lackadaisical. When you look at the hustle points at halftime - points off turnovers, second chance points - they were leading a lot of those points. We needed to get our attention focused on what was at hand. We did a better job."
Guard Kayla Christopher
- On win as well as slow start in first half
"Coming in, they had an advantage. They played yesterday and this is our first game. So I think maybe the first 10 minutes of the game just kind of got the jitters out. We shot the ball really well, gave up a little more points than we wanted in the first half, so I think in the second half we stepped it up."
- On how well they shot throughout the game
"Oh, yeah. I looked one time and we were 10-of-20, 50 percent; so you can't ask for much better than that. We know we're not going to always shoot well; we've got to rely on defense, too."
- On final minutes of first half
"They weren't going away and we knew they weren't going away, so we stepped it up. We always talk about how the end and beginning of halves are important."
Georgia Southern Eagles
Head coach Chris Vozab
- On today's game
"I think our kids played really hard, they battled all year. I'm proud of how we've grown as a team. I thought we had a solid game plan coming in. The thing is about Chattanooga, you can't cover up everything; you're going to give up some opportunities. And trying to clog it up and cover up their inside game, we know we were giving them some uncontested 3s, and they hit a lot of them, They hit enough extend the game."
- On future of the program
"I think we laid the foundation we needed to lay. I'm really proud of our kids, and I told our seniors that they've been a huge part of the strides that we've made as a program this year, and buying into a new system like they did helped us to lay that foundation. I wish they had a few more wins to show for it, but we talked about everyone who's returning to have a responsibility to those guys to make sure we build this the way we want to build it, and that's something we're all going to commit to."

ACT introduces 'Old Times' to ToledoWritten by Guest Author | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Chase Will
On Feb. 22, there will be an 8 p.m. reading of Harold Pinter's "Old Times" at the Mansion View Inn, 2035 Collingwood Blvd. The play is directed by Jennifer Rockwood of the University of Toledo's Department of Theater and Film.
The show focuses on the communication problems of Kate and Deeley, a married couple in their early 40s. A love triangle begins when Kate's former roommate Anna visits, and as each character shares stories of their younger days, they discover not all memories are based in reality.
"It's about communication and perspective, two things I like to direct plays about," said Rockwood. "It's kind of heavy and dense, but funny. We talk a lot in life, but don't really say anything. We're more real when we're quiet."
This reading is unique because of the close proximity between the actors and their audience, which creates a level of intimacy uncommon to larger productions, Rockwood said. Since the play takes place in a farmhouse, the venue also adds to its realistic nature.
"'Old Times' is a beautiful and subtle show," said John DuVall, who plays Deeley. "Pinter is a contemporary classic that needs to be reintroduced to younger generations of theater-goers who may not be familiar with him and his brilliance."
This reading is one in a series produced by Actors Collaborative Toledo (ACT), a group dedicated to sharing theatrical productions that may otherwise not be produced in the area. DuVall is a founding member of ACT, and has acted in previous shows directed by Rockwood.
Future ACT productions are "The Merry Regiment of Women," which will be performed at UT for Women's History Month and "Doubt" at Trinity Episcopal Church.
Ticket cost is $10, and all proceeds will benefit ACT. A cash wine bar will be available. Seating is limited. For more details on "Old Times" and ACT, visit the organization's Facebook page or call (419) 381-8681.

Richard* came to KidsPeace in May of 2007 dressed in a pressed pink button down shirt with a bright pair of pink shoes and a smile that peeked out from some long shaggy hair. He was a 13-year-old boy who had just been kicked out of his previous placement because the clinicians there had not successful at helping him with his issues. Upon his arrival, we learned that Richard had been physically and sexually abused by his father and was neglected by his mother before coming into DFCS custody.
His first month at KidsPeace affirmed that Richard was a true abuse survivor, as evidenced by his getting angry and scared with little provocation, difficulty trusting adults and little to no self-confidence. Richard's typical day was spent punching mats, cursing and pushing everybody away. The therapist helped him understand and accept that he did not deserve to be abused and how he could protect himself in the future. The entire staff at KidsPeace and the Bowdon community showed him that most adults can be trusted. The therapist also taught Richard's mother appropriate parenting skills; she educated her on the role of a mother and emphasized her responsibility to protect him from any possible future abuse. Richard was finally able to talk about his sadness and began to open up about the hopes and dreams he has in his life, he was able develop a plan for what he needs to do if anybody ever tries to hurt him. Once the "real" young man came to light, Richard began to win the hearts of staff and students alike. KidsPeace discovered he felt best when he was able to work hard, and when he felt like people cared about him.
The day before Valentine's Day, this boy dressed in pink, about two inches taller, hair cut and styled, left to step down to a group home that was closer to his mom's house. During a recent training off-campus, this client's therapist ran into some staff from the group home who shared they had put Richard to work in the kitchen and he continues to do well. He is able to attend a public school and has been able to control his anger and express himself appropriately. The family has been able to participate in weekly counseling, and Richard is hoping to return home soon.

Barnett is way worse than Chael, Barnett legitimately fucked over the fans and ruined an entire organization. Chael just made himself look like a piece of shit at a time where he wasn't going to be around for much longer anyway.
I also agree with anchor punch, why the hell is the fine that high? The article says nothing to justify that. He failed a drug test prior to the fight. How can they fine him for a fight that didn't happen and will now never happen? I don't see how that is legal.
