Remember a couple of winters ago? Recall how prices for free agents stopped going through the roof, and the spending insanity seemed to stop. Esbeban Loaiza signed a three-year, $21.5 million with the A's, Matt Morris got a similar contract with the Giants, and it seemed as if they were way overpaid?
Remember how the term "market correction" was thrown around.
Well, perhaps that's what we have going on with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Call it a "rivalry correction."
In case you haven't noticed, the Yankees have erased all but 1 1/2 games from a deficit that on May 29 was 14 1/2 games. It's outrageous, and if I weren't watching it myself, I wouldn't believe it. After all, the Yankees were playing worse than the Giants when those two teams got together in June.
Anyway, the Red Sox have basically had the upper hand in this rivalry since they erased the Curse of the Bambino with their epic 2004 postseason run. That was the year the Red Sox, sparked by Dave Roberts' stolen base (until O.J., was that the most famous swipe in history?) became the first team in baseball history to erase a 3-0 postseason deficit, victimizing the Yankees in the process. Boston eventually ended an 88-year World Series drought by sweeping St. Louis, and the whole culture around the rivalry changed.
You see, since that day, the Red Sox have become obnoxious. They don't spend the same amount of money the Yanks do, but they certainly could. Fenway Park has been transformed into their own personal vault, the New England Sports Network is every bit the revenue-maker that the Yankees Entertainment&Sports Network has become, and their fan base has enjoyed its own sort of baby boom, and now matches their rivals.
In other words, both of these teams are Evil Empires now.
Has it been good for the game? That's a question you could debate 24/7/365. But one thing that you can't deny is that it's certainly been different. The Red Sox, once upon a time, were lovable underdogs, a team worth sticking with through the torture, because once, just once, maybe they wouldn't break your heart.
But since the World Series of 2004, that hasn't been the case. The baseball universe, in a sense, has endured a force of nature that has thrown it off its orbit. True, the Yankees have continued to win AL East crowns, but New York's World Series drought is now longer than Boston's.
That said, perhaps the universe is starting to find its way again. The Yankees' put the Bosox out of their misery a year ago with a five-game sweep at the Fens in August, and now this. Should the Yankees erase the final 1 1/2 games, it might well send the entire region of New England into crisis counseling, and bring back those old feelings of inferiority and paranoia.
As for the Yanks, they'd once again be one-up on their rivals. And mark my words, the day will come when they trail the Red Sox 3-0 in a postseason series and come back to win four straight. Then we'll know the baseball universe, as we know it, is back in its correct order.
Anyway, that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

Hi all
I've been something of an avid reader now for a few months so first of all I just want to say, "Hi and thank you for bringing out the happy little nerd in me which I'd forgotten that I was."
I used to be mad into computing as a kid working with ZX81's, Commodore 64's etc before moving on to the MSX and the Amiga. I dabbled with programming until I found the PC and Windows polluted my brain.
I've now reverted and have been using Linux more and more over the past few months though I still have Windows simply for gaming. It's about time they brought out software so that I can play WoW on Linux....
Anyhoo I've been reading through LF159 again and now I finally have some time spare I'm trying to get e-uae operational so that I can play some of the old Amiga games but one problem I'm facing is where to download the workbench from so I wondered if anyone could help at all? So far the places I've found aren't proving to be reliable.
Thanks to anyone/everyone who has tried to read through this small novel and thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to point me in the right direction.

Regular price: $3.95
If you're the parent of a two-year-old, then you're not getting enough sleep. Who ever does when living with a toddler that age?
Toddlers are pretty amazing and so delightful (some of the time). A developmental understanding of why toddlers have difficulty getting to sleep and sleeping through the night will definitely help you and make your toddler even more adorable (maybe tolerable is a better word.)
Parenting Guide to Toddler Sleeping will make your life easier. With wit and understanding, based on his 50 years of treating children and their parents, child psychiatrist Calvin Colarusso M.D., clearly describes the developmental issues that explain why toddlers are not the best sleepers in the world. And he gives practical suggestions on how to manage bedtime intruders and get a good nights sleep.
This book will help you level the playing field, so you will have at least an equal chance of managing your toddler's endless energy and negativism.
The book contains information on:
Dr. Colarusso is a Board Certified Adult and Child Psychiatrist and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego. He is also a Training and Supervising Analyst in child and adult psychoanalysis at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Institute and an internationally known lecturer to students, professionals and the general public on many aspects of normal and pathologic development.
His books and professional papers have been published in English, Spanish and Korean. See www.calbooks.info.
What did you like best about Parenting Guide to Toddler Sleeping? What did you like least?
I liked that the book just kind of confirmed how common night waking and bed time issues are for toddlers. It listed some issues.. but they were basic and didnt really tell you how to resolve them. Also, I'm not sure I agree with the recommendation that breastfeeding past 1 and co-sleeping are an issue. I didnt co-sleep but I think the issues couldve been just as successfully addressed without that bit. It was ok
How could the performance have been better?
It was a little robotic

For 50 Years, a Rare Woman Scientist in a 'Man's World'
Commencement Speaker: Wallace Became Expert on DNA Damage & Repair
- 05-08-2012
- By Cheryl Dorschner
- The day she flew to Berkeley, California, in 1959 to pursue graduate studies in biophyics, was her first-ever cross-country airplane trip.
- She was the only woman in the University of California-Berkeley's biophysics department, and later in the early 1960s, Cornell University's biophysics department.
- Albert Einstein College of Medicine told her that her credentials were excellent, but they didn't take married women with children as postdoctoral fellows.
Distinguished University Professor Susan Wallace has been a pioneering woman of science in a "man' world."
"As a woman scientist it certainly has been interesting to experience overt sexism, women's liberation, Title 9 and affirmative action, all in one lifetime," she told more than 1,200 people on Sunday, May 20. Wallace was commencement speaker for the University of Vermont College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the UVM athletic complex multipurpose facility.
Wallace is professor and chair of the department of microbiology and molecular genetics in the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and Medicine. She has been lauded as an outstanding scientist, sought-after collaborator and international leader.
She had the right message for the right audience – the ratio of female to male grads in CALS is 3:1. Both genders laughed when Wallace told how male faculty members blushed when she, as a pregnant woman, walked into their offices. And she recalls, "when I was about eight months pregnant, (at a lecture) my baby started to visibly kick and the row of men on either side of me nervously got up and found other seats."
She has made significant contributions to biomedical science and specifically the field of radiation research. Since her first publication in 1969, she has built a body of over 160 publications during a career that spans the genetic revolution as well as the exponential growth of radiation oncology as a field of scientific research. In May 2011, she was recognized as a prominent UVM professor with the rank of Distinguished University Professor.
Wallace is a now world-renowned expert on DNA damage and repair and radiation research, especially as it informs cancer treatment. And she rose to the highest levels of her profession despite obstacles. She recalls that when she applied for her first NIH grant (National Institutes of Health) she was told "they'd never given a grant to a woman with children before, and they weren't sure they should."
She got that grant – in fact she still has it, has been twice honored with a prestigious NIH MERIT award and has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1971. She recently received an NIH Program Project grant award to support a new translational research effort exploring if certain DNA repair protein variants in the human population increase the risk for some types of cancer.
Wallace admitted that she rarely experienced overt sexism and, in fact, had many male mentors. She's watched the numbers tip toward more women in science, though "women still have a way to go in engineering, physics, math and especially computer science where the numbers are falling," and she cited statistics showing that there are fewer women in leadership, salaries are inequitable and the issues of combining career, marriage and children are still a big factor. "When a woman opts out of a higher stakes career early on, it is almost impossible for her to enter such a career later when her children are older," she observes.
To the graduating men she implored, "I paraphrase Steve Jobs: Stay hungry, stay foolish and you will be successful but at the same time be a good partner and a kick-ass dad!"
To the graduating women: "I am pleading with you, choose careers where you can make a difference. The world needs women in decision making roles if we are going to change how we operate….just look at what the world has become with men making all the decisions."

October 1, 2008 > Fremont local races for NASCAR glory
To some, Troy Ermish may appear to be a mild-mannered automotive repair business owner in Fremont. However, there's another side to him that craves the need for speed. That's no surprise though, as racing cars is basically in his blood.Growing up in Seattle, Troy gained a love for racing from watching his father, who competitively drove drag-racing cars for nearly 20 years. So almost from the time he was able to drive, Troy has been pursuing his passion for the sport.To start, he began at the club racing level in 1991, driving Datsun 510s. However in 1998 he made the jump to the Stock Car Racing League (SRL), Southwest Tour Series, where he is currently still competing. For the 2008 season, Troy is presently fourth in the point standings with two races to go. The next event takes place on September 27th at the Altamont Sports Park, in Tracy, CA. The highlight of Troy's season came in the opening race at Roseville's All American Speedway, where Troy took the checkered flag with a dominating win.The SRL Southwest Tour Series consists of approximately 10 races in locales ranging from Roseville, CA all the way down to Las Vegas, NV. A typical race lasts 100 laps and speeds can reach up to 145 miles an hour depending on the track.While there is no doubt that high-speed racing is dangerous, Troy has been able to avoid any major injuries throughout his career. While he has had his fair share of wrecks and accidents, he credits the improvement of standardized safety equipment that helps prevent any potential tragedies.Some of the challenges that Troy has encountered in his racing career include finding the right mix of support personnel in the Bay Area, which is not exactly a hotbed of professional racing talent. The other major challenge is being able to finance a racing career, which can be a tremendous drain with all the resources needed to be successful. However, over the past few years, Troy has been able to acquire some top-notch sponsors such as Allied Auto Parts in Fremont, a local Super Cuts chain, and Alfred Matthews Pontiac GMC.Looking toward the future, Troy is tentatively scheduled to make the jump to the next level of competition in 2009. That will consist of five races in the NASCAR-sanctioned Grand National West Series. Depending on the success he encounters there, that will dictate where he goes next in his quest for greater racing challenges.For more information on Troy, you can visit his website at: www.ermish-racing.com.

Virginia State Police (VSP) will be stepping up patrols New Year's Eve to detect and deter impaired drivers on Virginia's highways.
If you are convicted for the first time of drunk driving, you will lose your driver's license for a year. If your blood-alcohol is between 0.15 percent and 0.20 percent, it's a mandatory five days in jail, plus additional penalties.
Since Thanksgiving, troopers have been participating in the annual VSP Checkpoint Strikeforce (http://www.checkpointstrikeforce.net) anti-driving-under-the-influence enforcement campaign and the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" holiday crackdown (http://www.nhtsa.gov/Impaired).
Respectively, both are state and national enforcement operations conducted annually during the holidays that focus on the dangers and prevention of drunk and drugged driving. More DUI patrols by state police troopers and participation in local DUI checkpoints will be taking place throughout the evening and overnight hours of Dec. 31, 2013, statewide.
As of Dec. 30, 2013, preliminary reports indicate that more than 720 individuals have lost their lives in traffic crashes on Virginia highways this year, the VSP reported. In order to prevent anyone else from becoming another fatal statistic, it's going to take the help and responsible decision-making of every motorist heading out for New Year's Eve.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself at a party. What is wrong is having an impaired driver making the improper choice to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and drive, the VSP said. If you're going to drink alcohol, then designate a sober driver in advance to get you home safely or call a taxi, take advantage of public transportation, or simply stay put.
Whatever you do, don't drink alcohol and drive. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, in 2012 nationwide, deaths in crashes involving drunk drivers increased 4.6 percent, taking 10,322 lives compared to 9,865 in 2011. The majority of those crashes involved drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 or higher – nearly double the legal limit.
During last year's holiday season alone, 830 lives were lost in drunk driving crashes in America.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the holiday enforcement on drunk drivers comes at a time of year when crashes involving alcohol increase. Over the past decade, almost two of every five (41 percent) deaths that occur around the New Year's holiday and the Christmas holiday (37 percent) were alcohol-impaired, compared to 31 percent nationally over the past 10 years.
In addition, alcohol-impaired motor vehicle crashes cost more than an $37 billion annually nationwide.
In addition, drivers are reminded to always buckle up, put down the phone, and comply with speed limits. Staying alert to the traffic around, ahead, and behind you helps save lives.
With this holiday's stepped up enforcement, all drivers are also reminded of Virginia's "Move Over" law. It's a life-saving law intended to protect public safety responders and others who have a responsibility to work alongside Virginia's highways. Drivers are required by law to change to another travel lane or, when unable to, to cautiously pass emergency personnel stopped on the side of the road. The law also includes highway maintenance vehicles and tow trucks equipped with flashing amber lights.
Here are the penalties for drunk driving convictions in Virginia: for DUI first offense: mandatory, minimum $250 fine and driver's license revocation for one year.
- Conviction for DUI second offense: mandatory, minimum $500 fine, driver's license revocation for three years and possible jail term up to one year.
- Conviction for DUI second offense within ten years of prior offense carries the following additional penalty: mandatory, minimum ten-day jail term.
- Conviction for DUI second offense within five years of prior offense carries the following additional penalty: mandatory, minimum 20-day jail term.
- Blood/alcohol content reading of 0.15 percent and not higher than 0.20 percent at the time of arrest: First offense carries a mandatory, minimum five-day jail term in addition to all other penalties. Second offense within ten years carries a mandatory, minimum 10-day jail term in addition to all other penalties.

BREAKING NEWS: An Asiana Airlines flight crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport, Fox News confirms.
It was not immediately known whether there were any injuries.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown says Flight 214 was coming from Seoul, South Korea and was supposed to land on runway 28 left at San Francisco International Airport at 11:26 PDT.
She said the sequence of events was still unclear, but it appeared the plane landed and then crashed.
A video clip posted to Youtube shows smoke coming from the silver-colored Boeing 777 jet on the tarmac. Passengers could be seen jumping down the inflatable emergency slides.
Fire trucks could be seen spraying white fire retardant on the wreckage.
A call to the airline seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.
It was not immediately known how many passengers the plane was carrying. A Boeing 777-200 can carry between 246 to 300 passengers. The twin-engine aircraft is one of Boeing's best selling airplane models. It is often used for flights of 12 hours or more, from one continent to another.
The National Transportation Safety Board says it's sending a team of investigators to San Francisco to probe the crash of an Asiana airliner.
NTSB spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said Saturday that NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman would head the team.
All flights out of San Francisco International Airport have been canceled, the FAA said.
A tweet from Boeing said the company's thoughts are with those affected by the crash, and that the will assist the NTSB in the investigation.

Sunday, Jan. 5 - Lambeau Field - 3:40 p.m. CST
packers TO HOST 49ERS IN NFC WILD CARD CONTEST
- For the second straight season, the Green Bay Packers (No. 4 seed) and San Francisco 49ers (No. 5 seed) will meet in the postseason, the first playoff matchup between the clubs at Lambeau Field since a Wild Card contest on Jan. 13, 2002.
- It is the first time the Packers have faced the same opponent in back-to-back postseasons since Green Bay played San Francisco in the playoffs in four consecutive seasons (1995-98). The Packers and 49ers played in an NFC Divisional contest last season at Candlestick Park.
- This will mark the seventh time that the Packers and 49ers have met in the postseason. That is tied for the most games for Green Bay against one opponent in the playoffs (N.Y. Giants, seven). The Packers hold a 4-2 advantage over San Francisco in the postseason series.
- This will be the second meeting this season and the fourth in the last 16 months between the clubs. The Packers visited San Francisco in Week 1 this season, a 34-28 win for the 49ers. It marks the fourth time (1996, 1998, 2012) in the history of the series that the clubs have squared off in both the regular season and the postseason.
- Since 2010, Green Bay has a .695 regular-season winning percentage (44-19-1), No. 1 in the NFC over that span, with San Francisco checking in at No. 2 in the conference with a .664 winning percentage (42-21-1).
- Sunday's game will be a matchup of two of the most successful teams in the postseason. Green Bay is 30-18 all-time in the playoffs, a .625 winning percentage that ranks No. 2 in NFL history. San Francisco checks in at No. 5 in the league at 28-19 (.596) in the postseason. The teams have combined for 18 world championships (Green Bay 13, San Francisco 5).
- Including playoffs, the Packers have won 13 of the last 17 games against the 49ers, but San Francisco has emerged victorious in the last three.
BACK IN THE Postseason
- With a thrilling 33-28 win over the Bears on Sunday, the Packers clinched their third straight NFC North title, the first time they have done so since 2002-04. It marked Green Bay's 21st division crown in franchise history.
- In the 12 seasons of the NFC North (2002-13), Green Bay has captured the division title seven times (2002-04, 2007, 2011-13).
- This marks the Packers' fifth consecutive playoff appearance (2009-13), one of only two NFL teams (New England) to do so over that span. Green Bay has advanced to the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons.
- Green Bay's streak of five straight playoff appearances ranks second in franchise history behind only a six-season stretch from 1993-98.
- This is the Packers' 29th postseason berth in team history and their 16th appearance in the last 21 seasons. Green Bay's 16 appearances in the free-agency era (since 1993) are the most of any team in the NFL.
- The Packers currently rank No. 3 in NFL history with their 29 playoff appearances, trailing only the N.Y. Giants (31) and Dallas Cowboys (30).
- Since the NFL went to a 12-team playoff format in 1990, Green Bay has been the No. 4 seed three other times (1994, 2001, 2003).
- FOX Sports, now in its 20th season as an NFL network television partner, will broadcast Sunday's game to a national audience.
- Play-by-play man Joe Buck and color analyst Troy Aikman will have the call from the broadcast booth with Pam Oliver and Erin Andrews reporting from the sidelines.
- Milwaukee's WTMJ (620 AM), airing Green Bay games since 1929, heads up the 50-station Packers Radio Network, with Wayne Larrivee (play-by-play) and two-time Packers Pro Bowler Larry McCarren (color) calling the action. The duo is in its 15th season of broadcasts together across the Packers Radio Network, which covers 42 markets in six states.
- WestwoodOne Sports will air the game across the country. Tom McCarthy (play-by-play) and Rod Woodson (analyst) will call the action with Mark Malone reporting from the sidelines. Scott Graham hosts pregame and halftime shows.
- The broadcast is also available on SiriusXM Satellite Radio (WTMJ feed) as part of the network's NFL Sunday Drive.

I just got NOW 43. I normally don't go much for these type of cds, but it had a lot of hits and I had a 5 dollar best buy coupon so I thought "what the heck"? Good cd.
For me the best 00's music are Evanescence, Aaron Lewis, Switchfoot, MindFlow, Pendulum, James Labrie's Solo, and local band (The Times, Bittersweet).
I agree that from late 60's to late 90's are really good and interesting, maybe because that's what the radio plays worthy music before the world of Mp3's enter our lives.
Garbage-Not Your Kind of People (regular edition only, unfortunately)
Elvenking - Era deluxe version since the cost was the same on itunes.
Black Light Burns - The Moment You Realize You're Going To Fall
Another great album from the musical genius Wes Borland. Seriously, everything he's done outside the abomination that is Limp Bizkit, has been amazing. If you haven't heard any of it, check it out.
The Cardigans: The Best of (2 disc import)
AMAZING! :skgrin:
local h - hallelujah! i'm a bum
local h has been my favorite band for years and it's no surprise why. their music is just as strong today as it's ever been. there are a variety of sounds and influences to be found within the album, so there's something for everyone.
LoNero - J.F.L
Laura Marie - Drawn (as an Exclusive by her)
I just love both artist, they've been interacting with me which is a pleasure.
Just tonight, I picked up Pink's new album, The Truth About Love. It's pretty different, for her, compared with her other albums. But it's really good. Love her!!
Found these CD's the last time I was in Dollar Tree:
REO Speedwagon: Find Your Own Way Home (a bit mellower than their early stuff, but still good to listen to):hmwink:
Guns-N'-Roses: Chinese Democracy (worth the $1.00 I paid for it; I had to read the CD book to understand the lyrics)
Batman TAS Soundtrack volumes 1 & 2
No Doubt: Push & Shove
10 years....10 YEARS I wait for a No Doubt album and after all that wait...I get a Gwen Stefani album. WT*.
I am beyond let down with this album. Needless to say I left a long sad message on iTunes.
This is NOT a No Doubt album. This is Gwen Stefani's 3rd solo album.
3 tracks on the album sound like a No Doubt song (Settle Down, Push & Shove, Sparkle).
I am ALL for an artisit or band progressing in sound, I think they should! When you compare No Doubt - Beacon St. - Tragic Kingdom - Return to Saturn - Rock Steady you hear the progression the polishing but its still No Doubt. Then you have Push & Shove dropped on you and its like...No Doubt who!? This sounds like its an album made for "today's youth". I feel like No Doubt left all its fans (for 20 years!!!!!!) in the dust.
Like..."Hey thanks for all the support for all these years and for staying with us for a 10 year break....BUT...we think we're going to try to be a pop band now". WHAT!?
I just cannot get over this and I cannot belive I am saying this about No Doubt...I really truly cannot.
I feel like I just got dumped!! :sksad:
Picked up the new Green Day record, and.... It's pretty awesome.
It's a really nice throwback to early albums like 1,039 smoothed out slappy hours, Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, and Nimrod.
Most of it is pretty much straight up pop punk with a hint of New Wave. It's a pretty fun ride, and I can't wait for the next two.
Molly Hatchet - Justice
Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden deluxe edition
Epica - Requiem for the Indifferent.
I actually already had the iTunes version of this, but I was going to an autograph session for Epica at Progpower USA and needed something for the band to sign, so I found this great booklet/album combo a few hours before. Now I have a signed booklet and a back-up copy of the album in case my computer crashes. :hmgrin:
I've recently got:
Walking Papers
Dinosaur Jr - I Bet on Sky
Long Day Fear - Bones
Black Light Burns - The Moment You Realize You're Going To Fall
Pre-ordered the new Soundgarden album - King Animal, I'm really looking forward to that!
The doors perception box set and alice coopers welcome 2 my nightmare (a new, second, different one, not the classic one which I already had).
KISS - Monster
"The Best of Burl Ives: The Christmas Collection"
"Dreams Of Fireflies (On A Christmas Night)" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Single-- Black Flute by Leftism
Album--- Hide & Seek by the Birthday Massacre
"Kisses On The Bottom" (Paul McCartney)
"Acoustic Sessions" (The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger)
Both (of course) on vinyl.
Aerosmith's Music From Another Dimension!
Maybe I'm biased, as a die hard fan... But their new album is truly, genuinely, amazing! I know it's been ripped to shreds by the critics, and the 70's fans hate it, but I gotta be honest, I love it!! Every song is such a different trip. It's so different from anything they've ever done... but at the very same time, it's SO Aerosmith in every way. And Steven Tyler's voice could move mountains!!
I HIGHLY recommend checking it out. Especially the songs; Beautiful, Out Go The Lights, Street Jesus(Classic Aerosmith), and the best of the bunch is a mind numbing ballad called Another Last Goodbye. It's just Steven, a piano, and an orchestra.... it makes me cry every time I hear it.
If you're curious, or on the fence about picking it up, casual fan or not, I'm telling you, CHECK IT OUT!!!! You're gonna love it!!
Voyage & Voyage II--Celtic Thunder (found them on Amazon; the latter was only available online):hmwink:

Having the motivation to become successful while remembering those who helped you along the way was the message delivered to Oregon High School students Monday afternoon.
Sean Considine, Byron, played 8 seasons in the NFL, concluding his career with the 2012 Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens.
He was in Oregon Monday afternoon as the guest speaker to kick off the district's Relay for Life event.
"Through football I had the chance to get involved with many great causes including Relay for Life," said Considine. "You are kicking off Relay for Life campaign. Getting involved like you are doing is something I encourage you to do throughout your lives."
Considine graduated from Byron High School in 2000.
"It seems like yesterday I was sitting in the bleachers at Byron High School with my whole life ahead of me," he said. "Here I am 32 years old, 4 kids, and number 5 due in a few weeks."
He has lived in numerous cites and states but his journey in life has focused on two things.
"I have focused not only my football career, but more importantly, my life," Considine said.
The success Considine had in football has come from two things he said. "My work ethic and the people around you."
In 2000 Considine had just graduated Byron High School and made the decision to try and walk on to the football team at the University of Iowa.
"I spent the summer worrying if I could play or wasting my time," he said. "I darn near ended up at (Oregon) Coach (John) Bothe's alma matter, Augustana. I did find my wife there."
The summer before college was one of the most uncertain times for Considine.
"The uncertainty I experienced is something I will never forget. It was the most important time in my life," Considine said. "Here I was at the crossroads of my life. One direction leads to success, another to mediocrity. I wanted to be successful. I wanted to start down the road to success and was willing to do whatever it took."
To achieve this goal, Considine spent the summer coming up with a plan.
"I came out with a plan," he said. "Not for football, but for my life."
His plan consisted of committing his life to two things that would guarantee his success no matter the outcome.
"I built my life around my work ethic and the people around me," Considine said. "I was committed to being the hardest worker I could. Not just in football, or the weight room, but in the classroom."
The other part of the plan was the most important part, he said.
"I decided to dedicate myself to the people around me," Considine said. "Stop and think about what I am talking about. I committed to what was being taught to me by the coaches. I had developed my own opinions of how I should do things, but It was not until I was using the experience of those around me that I started to make big improvements."
His parents, family, friends, and coaches have all helped Considine with his journey in life.
Being on a winning Super Bowl team was a bonus for Considine that capped off his football career.
"Winning the super bowl and having this ring has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid," he said. "Besides the obvious memories, I was left with another lesson."
Ray Lewis was the senior member of the Baltimore Ravens.
"He seemed like an unlikely guy to demonstrate the power of the people around year," Considine said. "But what I saw was amazing."
Considine said Lewis encouraged everyone in the locker room and has the natural ability to motivate people.
Through practices and team meetings, Considine got to know Lewis.
"I never had a teammate that spent more time motivating people," said Considine. "He had a vision to go out on top. He spent the whole season getting the teammates on the same vision."
Considine said Lewis knew no detail was ever too small and no role was too small.
"Lewis knew everyone needed to buy into the vision," Considine said. "We were a group of men that were able to overcome our individual limitations."
He said this was accomplished by every working together on the same goal.
"What you are doing with Relay is a great example of the power of the people," said Considine. "You are coming together to raise money. The sky is the limit."
Being on a Super Bowl winning team is a great reminder for Considine about his journey in life.
"I have a Super Bowl ring to remind me the rest of my life of the help I had along the way," he said."

I-90 & Cliff Avenue Work to Begin
A road project that begins soon will affect travel in and around northern Sioux Falls.
The South Dakota Department of Transportation says the work will involve the interchange on Interstate 90 and North Cliff Avenue.
The DOT says restrictions will be posted in the eastbound lanes of I-90 so workers can install guardrail and make temporary concrete repairs.
Cliff Avenue interchange ramp traffic will continue, but the ramps will be narrower, and DOT officials say motorists should expect merging and the sudden slowing of traffic, while being aware of construction workers and equipment.
The interchange work is part of an overall $17.4 million project at I-90 and North Cliff, which is expected to be completed in early November.

Just imagine Duke Nukem 3D!
I was actually thinking solitaire 3D or Suduko 3D. Just imagine how it would improve your gameplay.
I was actually thinking solitaire 3D or Suduko 3D. Just imagine how it would improve your gameplay.
I could go for *actual* 3D chess: I have an old board game of such from - I think - the 60s called "Space Chess [chessvariants.com]" (and here [boardgamegeek.com]). That'd be pretty cool in 3D.
I was just thinking that I actually have 3D versions of all the above games, but they don't need any special software and aren't affected by system updates or change in my computer. You can probably guess what I mean
The handful of games and handful of 3d blurays available do not make 3d in the home compelling.
Put aside complaints about 3d tech, stupid glasses, whatever. Heard them all, I don't hate the tech like a lot of other folk. I even bought a 3d tv because it was a good tv in the price range I was looking for anyway.
I never get to use it!
And here in Australia they seem to want $60+ for a 3d bluray version of cloudy with a chance of meatballs, or Monsters vs Aliens. Seriously. Bad selection, bad prices. These things will kill it stone dead even if all the naysayers don't.
I guess I meant games and content from Sony.
As and when I refresh my computer I guess I'll get something that can do 3d pc games and then we'll see.
I still associate PC gaming with sitting at a desk rather than in the living room though.
I've seen a couple of dozen movies in IMAX 3D, and can count on one hand the number that are actually worth seeing in 3D. Most recently was Harry Potter 7, part 2, which I saw last Saturday.... the 3D was exceptionally well done. But there were only two scenes in the entire movie where it added anything noticeable, and I could easily have done without the 3D without affecting my enjoyment of the movie, and have no intention of buying the 3D version of the movie when it comes out on disc.
And it's the same st
Yup, only movies I've seen in 3D which I thought were done well were Avatar and Tron Legacy. I rarely bother to see movies in 3D - usually they're just visually distracting and headache-inducing. It isn't even a matter of money for me so much as paying more for what I'd consider an inferior product to the 2D most of the time.
To make a movie in 3D you need to actually plan it that way - just like you have to plan for movies in 2D. They don't "just happen."

The thing that makes Avatar so good was James Cameron
I'm trying. I got an EVO 3D. I take the most boring 3D pictures/movies you have ever seen, but I'll have some beter stuff soon. The phone shows the scene as 3D, so I know what it will look like, and doesn't require glasses. It does have a narrow viewing angle, so two people can't look at the same time.
I got it mostly because it was free after corporate discounts, porting rebate, instant rebate. I could have gotten the other EVO with the slide out keyboard, but I don't text enough to make it worthwhile
And here in Australia they seem to want $60+ for a 3d bluray version of cloudy with a chance of meatballs, or Monsters vs Aliens. Seriously. Bad selection, bad prices. These things will kill it stone dead even if all the naysayers don't.
The only reason the studios are pushing 3D in the first place is because they can charge a premium for it.
Aussie and NZ are in the same Bluray region as the UK, and Amazon.co.uk has a free shipping deal on for all purchases above £25 (which at their pricing is TWO Blurays!)
Seriously, screw your local overpriced retailers, ship it in from Amazon UK at half to a third of the cost.
FTA: "Don't just add depth for the sake of it." Bad dum tsss!
And here I was thinking that Sony was giving serious, practical advice to buyers of their TV sets and to their film division
In unrelated news, Steve Jobs says that no-one wanted a tablet PC, then announced the iPad.
Personally, I'd much rather have 1080p or better per eye in my portable VR goggles, the best I've purchased (without building my own from used Android phones) is 640x480 per eye, tried a few 852x480 or better but I'm waiting for the price to drop a bit.
Follow each tech to it's logical conclusion: Getting the screen bigger and farther away will become impractical -- I'd rather head the other direction and place th
You know, both things don't conflict with each other.
The hate people have for Sony isn't because they lack intelligent people capable of making a good point. The hate exists because they take that intelligence, and most of the time apply it in the wrong direction.
It's a buzz word, so people will go with it. Sony can warn them all they want, but people just want to gain from someone else's success. If they can turn an ordinary game into a 3D game with little effort, and boost their sales (on the short term), then they will do it.
I predict a 3D sudoku before the year is over.
There's a 3D Sudoku (in Japanese) on the Nintendo 3DS.
I bought it. It's every bit as dumb as it sounds.
You mean "Sony can pretend to warn them" to give false hope to consumers that the product will be better?
You don't have to understand the maths behind projecting 3D on a 2D raster just to create 3D content. Even though it can be helpful when using more techincal features of certain content creation software packages.
However, even the math isn't *that* hard, take this from someone who dropped out of school and used to think basic arithmetic is all the math he'd ever be capable of learning and has now gotten a fairly good understanding of the math after having done some 3D programming projects using OpenGL. Some
Developers can't make 3d-centric games because no one but an incredibly small minority of people with gaming rigs and/or consoles would be able to play them.
Customers don't buy 3d-monitors and TVs because there's no content worth watching on them.
End result, 3d is used as an afterthought or marketing gimmick. It makes no sense to spend a lot of funds developing a feature almost no one would use.
In other words, Sony is saying, "Hey consumers, it's the developers' fault for using buzzwords we helped promote. We know 3D sucks ass right now, but come on, give us another chance! Remember Avatar? Come on, remember?"
Eh, it's just the same thing that happens with every new invention.
When they came up with movies, the stuff they filmed was completely pointless by today's standards, and was mostly "Holy crap, it MOVES!". And thus you got such exciting movies as a few seconds of a guy sneezing.
When they came up with color, people started trying to add it to black and white movies, whether it made sense or not. Because, COLOR!
To same thing is happening with 3D right now. Eventually people will figure out that stuff like "Ho
(Besides, it's not really 3D until you can move your head and see the parallax.)
I agree completely. Sadly, I have had the opportunity to work (and play) with just such a system. I say sadly because it completely spoiled me for the "3D" experience of films (haven't tried video games yet). The system I used incorporated active shutter glasses, head tracking with millimeter accuracy, was tailored specifically for the user (accounting for your specific eye separation and other parameters I don't recall - there was about a 5-10 minute calibration run-through for each new user to get it set
Whilst what Sony says is true of films, in that technicians need to re-learn how their cinematography etc. will work in 3 dimensions rather than the 2 they've learnt their trade in, I think games are a very different matter. Have these guys never played FPS on a PC with 3D shutter glasses or some similar system? That enhances the gaming experience immensely, even if the game was never designed with that in mind. The difference is that in a game the user controls the camera and gets the full depth experie
How about making a decent game without stupid gimmicks or one that doesn't play a cutscene every two steps.
If you want games with gameplay, I suggest you travel back to the 1990's. Unfortunately, most games these days seem to want to move into the "interactive movie" category.
Gemcraft Labyrinth has kept me entertained for a couple of months. Probably the best tower defence game I've ever played. Worth the few quid I spent on it.
Interesting to hear that you bought it. I assume that was so you could play it while you were away from the PC as (I'm sure you already know) it's availabel for free at all the usual Flash game portal sites.
The problem is that we've been screwing around with the 3d word. Remember when "3D" cards came out. The original OpenGL spec also defined a left and right frame buffer. And then there were Shutter glasses going back to things like the Sega Master System.
3D never, ever, works. The primary problem Nintendo learned with the VR boy. People get headaches from it because it's impossible to calibrate them to work with every pair of eyes. Everyone gets motion sickness or headaches with a "VR set" and when you put it on a flat screen, you force the eyes to go cross-eyed, resulting in headaches and eyestrain.
In the theater, they use polarizing glasses, which work in a pinch but require the picture to be much brighter than normal. The problem again being that not everyones stereo vision is calibrated the same. Like for me, with the exception of a few key scenes in Avatar, 3D is lost on me, the brain tunes it out after 5 minutes. I still see some films in 3D because they're the only properly calibrated projection screens, but overall it's never been worth seeing anything in 3D, since 3D adds very little value.
Now here's where I think we can make a difference, but I don't think we'll see it in current generation systems. Take the Kinect device and combine it with a auto-stereoscopic monitor. Now you have a true 3d interaction. Until this is possible, 3D will remain as glue and sparkles, looks pretty, but functionally useless.
There is some promise for 3D, but I don't see any games being able to make use of 3D without completely doing away with the glasses. Any real benefit to 3D stereography would require being able to see light bounce off 3D objects, which doesn't happen, hence why it fails. There's no depth, so the eyes can't focus.
Avatar was good, but if you turn the 3D off, most people wouldn't have noticed after the first 10 minutes.
Wow are you out of date. I mean, come on, Virtual Boy? Have you actually seen what it produced? Here [wikipedia.org]. You might as well have used Wolfenstein 3D to discuss the issues of 3D graphics today. As you might notice from looking at the screenshots there have been a few advancements since then. The Virtual Boy was just a product that came up way, way before its time.
What you're speaking of already exists. Go try a 3DS, it works. The remaining issues with 3D are: getting good tech out (which exists, but needs to be
You clearly never actually used a Virtual Boy. It did not produce a red/blue flat image. It had two little LCD screens and two mirrors and each screen produced a unique image and you wore the whole thing like a giant set of goggles. Both the images were monochrome red with about 4 variations in color. This is functionally identical to how stereoscopy works now (delivering 2 distinct flat images to each eye that are slightly different to create a perception of depth). All that's changed over time is the deli
I know it didn't produce anaglyph images. But it's hard to make screenshots of what it really did.
Anyway, my point was that low resolution, 4 color images mostly looking like wireframe, plus one of the first attempts at implementing it all aren't really comparable to the state of the tech today.
And yes, I know 3D separation can be a problem. However that's a problem for movies. This story is about games, and things that are rendered in real time can be made to have any amount of separation you like.
Once tha
You're missing the point. Projecting two flat images with slightly different perspectives to a person's eyes will never truly work right.
You're one of a minority with a vision problem.
Sorry 3d sucks for you, but it's you with the defect.
And what have you done to the Sony we love to hate?
Is it just me or are the tune Sony is playing by changing, and from the looks of it to the better, towards that of the old Sony...from before they started screwing over their customers at every chance they could get?
Mind you, I've only seen the 3D portions of Gran Turismo 5 and Sly 3, but each of those games only seemed to have a divergence of about 5 horizontal pixels onscreen between the 2 views even at the farthest Z-buffer depth. The actual 3D effect was incredibly understated and pointless. Sure as a graphics geek, I'm all for having superfluous 3D just for random kicks once in a while, but even from that end of things it did not deliver.
Every 3D game should have a configuration for adjusting the "strength" of the parallax divergence, especially as display sizes and other factors could benefit from them. Neither of those 2 games I tried seemed to have that at all. Trying to make a "safe" default divergence strength makes the gimmick effectively disappear.
(If I understand correctly, the 3DS has some sort of depth adjustment slider. Does it affect the rendering convergence, or just help focus at the hardware level?)

Interesting, I'd heard that the 3D in GT5 actually worked pretty well, making it easier to judge braking points and hit apexes. I had heard that it was pretty understated, but that's how 3D should be IMO. That's the only game I've really had any interest in seeing in 3D up to this point.
I agree with the sentiment about how it should help. I'm big into driving sims & practicing technique, and also thought this would be a legitimate benefit. The 3D was unnoticeable. It looks like the vanishing point of the road is about 5 inches behind the screen if you do focus on it, which really doesn't add anything in terms of perceiving the spatial configuration of the upcoming length of track.
I looked through the game options to no avail; not sure if the console itself has configuration for that
Sony needs to recoup their investment in 3D technology by making sure the public sees value in 3D, so they will buy into it.
Game developers need to recoup their investment in the game by making sure their most recent game sells; i.e. use buzz-word technology.
It is not in the game devs best interests to ignore short term profit; in fact, it is in their best interest to have this type of tech die out in a few years so they can focus on new buzz-words that sell.
Did you not even understood the summary?... Sony is essentially coming out and saying "don't buy into the hype, just because it's 3D". As stated in the summary, 3D needs to be done technically and creatively correct in order to have an impact, something that 95% of today's content just doesn't do.
I totally agree with Sony on this point, and in fact I myself have not bought into 3D and currently have no plans to do it. For me, it just doesn't add anything meaningful that I'm willing to pay more for. I do buy
Did you not even understand my comment?
What I said what that it is in the financial interrest of the game developers to DO buy into the hype and add 3D even if it ruins gameplay, simply because right now games will sell more when they have 3D support. Game developers do NOT benefit from 3D technology being succesful; the technology in itself will not sell more games in the long term. Individual game developers will sell more games in the short term if they support 3D technology but in the long term, support
Watched the new Harry Potter last night in 3D at the behest of my housemate. It was a good story told well but 3D added nothing to it. The depth of view effect was nice but having to accommodate 3D filming means they rely overly on slow panning shots and the like a lot of the film's shot selection seemed to be based on trying to shoehorn the direction into the format. Also due to the limitations on frame rates many of the action shots simply became a blurry jaggedy mess.
They didn't accommodate 3D filming. Like most "3D" films these days, it was shot in 2D and digitally processed into faux-3D. Which I find just stupid. As Sony said (in interest of having some decent content produced to better show off their expensive new 3D TVs, no doubt), if you are going to do 3D then do it right. That means actually filming in 3D instead of just adding the effect in post production.
Actually, don't. That would probably just end up making the 2D version look worse.
I love 3D and always have. I admit it's gimmicky, and usually done poorly, but I still like it.
For games on the PC, especially first-person games like Fallout New Vegas and Portal, it adds an element of depth to it. I really feel like I'm more into the game when playing in 3D. I've started to dislike games that the 3D doesn't work right, and I have to play them without the glasses.
The company that advocated going CD for CD's sake, and then HD for HD's sake, and even until very recently actively campaigned for 3D for 3D's sake, is now trying to say that pretty pictures aren't everything? Yeah, right. Sony depends on pretty pictures; their whole business model is based on it. This is a calculated marketing risk in an attempt to combat the 3DS, and nothing more.
(on a related note, why does the latest graphical gimmick always have an abbreviation that ends in D?)
How about you just don't make ANYTHING unless it is using high quality components? A sucky 3D movie is somewhat more annoying because of the extra $3, but it's not like spending $10 to see a sucky 2D movie is a great alternative.
This is the same Sony that has released various films shot in 2D and then upconverted to 3D just to make more money.
Films that are shot in 3D (including Avatar and that new 3 Musketeers film) are fine, films shot in 2D and upconverted to 3D are not. Obviously CGI films like Cars and Toy Story that are rendered properly for 3D (with separate rendering passes for left and right eyes) are also OK.
"but the company seems to be aware that quality, not quantity, is what can win over gamers."
No, no they don't and a great example of that is PSP, If you are handed one of these and have never used one, your going to be really fucking lucky to find a game that is quality and NOT shovelware shit ports of 10 year old PS2 games, or worse like one of the simpsons games which looks and plays worse than tomb raider on PS1
the PS2 was full of it too, there was endless bins of 9.99$ games that were not worth the plas
Maybe they should've taken their own "quality not quantity" advice when they released a 300W games console with bigger hardware numbers than the rest and a launch lineup of tired old sequels.

[P]erhaps you're not familiar with the concept, but there's this thing called "etiquette". The way it works is, this is Ann's blog, and she writes about what she wants to write about. So that there is some organization, she might choose to - say - talk about a silly TV show in one thread, and talk about Supreme Court nominations and the law in another. This makes it easy for the rest of us to be able to read the things we like to read, while skipping the rest.He's right! But it occurs to me that some readers don't want to reveal their email addresses to me, and I don't mind taking requests, though you can't expect me to address every topic. I can't explain every point of law you want explained, and there are some topics where I don't see myself adding any value. That doesn't mean I don't think they're important. It's an attitude I'm most likely to take about things that are especially important.
If you have a discussion topic you'd like to propose to Ann, there's this other thing called "e-mail" that you can use. It's handy - it lets you have a private conversation without the rest of the world listening in. For example, you could suggest that she write about something that you'd like her to write about.
I suppose it is possible that you are acquainted with both of these concepts, and are simply ignoring them because you have something which you feel is so important that it must reach the Internet at once. In that case, there is an admirably simple solution: you can get yourself what is called a "blog", and write about whatever topics you wish, and people who share your interests or who find your writing interesting may join you there.
It's really a very lovely set of concepts.
Anyway, I thought it might be a good idea to put up a post where it is on-topic to raise new topics. What do you wish I would blog about or blog more about -- or podcast about?
IN THE COMMENTS: My favorite suggestion so far is from SaysMeow:
I'm hoping for a compendium post on "The Althouse Man"--you keep tantalizing us with tidbits but don't give us the full-scale doodle. So far we've learned that:Maybe all you readers could also help me out by reminding me of various "Althouse man" elements from bygone posts.
He joyfully dons his Andy Warhol wig--
Yet he does not look like a Stooge (strange, I thought Moe's haircut was quite a lot like Andy's)--
His facial hair, if any, does NOT resemble the Creepy Guy from "Joy of Sex"--
He doesn't cry in public--
He does not wear shorts, no never--
He's pro-Hadley, anti-Baxendale...or is it the other way around?
But there's so much more we want to know!

I agree with LittleBunny. I always buy L'Oreal foundation and I never get blemishes and I think it looks good all the time. I don't care to buy a brand I've never tried. Need some sample packets of some of the top rated brands. But I must ask, WHY isn't L'Oreal represented here?

2003 Baseball
weekly recap
Bluffton drops three games to Manchester to end 2003 seasonBy Scott Van Eman, sports information intern
May 5, 2003
|Special to: The Bluffton News (May 8), Alumni e-newsletter (May 6), but you read it here first.
The Bluffton College baseball team lost three games last weekend to Manchester College drawing the 2003 season to a close. Bluffton finished the season at 8-25 overall and 2-19 in the Heartland Conference.
The three game series kicked off with a nine inning game held at Sears Field last Friday. Before the game Bluffton held a 4-5 record at home including two wins at home the previous week. The game marked the last home game of the season for the Beavers. Bluffton allowed only one run through the first three innings of play but a five run fourth inning by Manchester put the game out of reach for the Beavers. Senior Wes Hall pitched all nine innings for the Beavers, allowing six earned runs and collecting seven strikeouts.
Bluffton traveled to Manchester, Saturday for the final two games of the 2003 season. Unfortunately, the first game of the doubleheader played out much like the first game of the three game series. Manchester again struck first scoring the first run of the game in the third inning. The fourth inning proved to again be a bear for the Beavers as Manchester scored seven runs on seven hits. Manchester would go on to score one more run in the fifth inning to beat the Beavers by a score of 9-0. Freshman Randy Miller pitched the last 2.2 innings for the Beavers and allowed one run on four hits and struck out one.
Bluffton finally came out of their shell in the second game of the doubleheader as junior Jim Dwenger provided the Beavers with some much needed offense in the form of a two-run homerun in the third inning. The Beavers held the lead into the sixth much due to the pitching performance of junior Josh Underwood., who held the potent Spartan offense without a run going into the sixth inning. But Manchester battled their way back into the game scoring two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game. A scoreless seventh inning by both teams sent the game into extra innings. The top of the eighth inning remained much the same as the Beavers were unable to pose a scoring threat. Manchester quickly capitalized on this, getting their first two batters of the eighth inning on and then knocking in the winning run with a base hit.
Bluffton was led offensively this season by junior Kyle Alberson, who led the team in batting average (.404), slugging percentage (.843), on base percentage (.500), hits (36), runs scored (25), homeruns (10), RBI's (30) and walks (14). Other leaders included junior Bob Heitkamp (.361, 3 homeruns, 8 doubles, 17 RBI's) and senior Wes Hall (.293, 14 runs scored, 4 doubles, 10 RBI's). Freshman Randy Miller's 6.03 ERA led Bluffton's pitching staff this season, while freshman Steve Hastings and Hall each provided three wins. Hall also led the Beavers in innings pitched (55.0) and strikeouts (34) while Underwood closely followed with 53.2 innings pitched and 30 strikeouts.
Heartland Conference awards will be posted next week following the HCAC tournament.

Six years after the financial crisis, regulators said that 11 banks deemed too big to fail still have produced no workable procedures to help regulators shut them down should they ever reach the brink of failure.
The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. chastised Wall Street financial institutions in rejecting the plans Tuesday.
The regulators criticized "unrealistic or inadequately supported assumptions" and the "failure to make, or even to identify, the kinds of changes in firm structure and practices that would be necessary to enhance the prospects for orderly resolution."

According to Death and Taxes
During a rain-delayed Pirates vs Cubs game at Chicagos Wrigley Field, a fan managed to sneak his way to the seats behind home plate to make blowjob faces for the entire ninth inning. Both the Pirates and the Cubs franchises are not exactly known for winning. That fact, combined with a rain delay, meant that the game was shown particularly late at night.

The SWM-8 requires both a 5LNB dish and a compatible DirecTV receiver (H2x, HR2x).
What you want to do should work with cascadable multiswitches, but I'm not well versed in that.
I've been researching this a while, but I can't get the specifics for the following:
I have a round dual LNB that was installed by a provider. The two lines feed into a 3x4 Zinwell SAM-3402 multiswitch.
Two outputs go into the living room for the dual tuner there. Each of the other two feed up into one bedroom each.
I want to feed dual lines into both bedrooms now.
I could use a stacker/destacker combo, but that's going to cost over $400 for the hardware.
Instead, I'm looking to run new wire to each bedroom.
This means another multiswitch.
It's not practical to replace the Zinwell with an 3x8 because of the position of the external box and the wiring that would be required.
What I'd like to do is take the two lines coming into the living room (for the dual tuner) and use them as the inputs for the 3x8, and the run two lines from 6 of the outputs (leaving 2 available for future use), with 2 lines each for the livingroom and each bedroom.
I have read that multiswitches are stackable, but not exactly how they should be wired.
So, what I want to know is:
1) How would I wire this?
2) Is there any benefit to a powered or non powered multiswitch in this situation? The two I'm considering are Steren 3x8 Satellite IF Multiswitches
201737 : http://www.hometech.com/hts/products...st-201737.html
201738 : http://www.hometech.com/hts/products...st-201738.html
3) A lot of the search I did turned up the SWM8. However, it's a 5x8. I only have a single DUAL LNB. Is the SWM8 a better pick than either of the other two? Is there any reason I should consider it above either of the Steren's?
The SWM-8 requires both a 5LNB dish and a compatible DirecTV receiver (H2x, HR2x).
What you want to do should work with cascadable multiswitches, but I'm not well versed in that.
Many multiswitches can be stacked. I prefer using powered ones. However, I would suggest NOT stacking them, if at all possible.
It would appear from your description that stacking is not necessary. As I visualize your present setup, two cables run from the dish to the Zinwell 3x4. Two wires run from the 3x4 to the living room. The other two outputs of the Zinwell each feed one cable to the two bedrooms. You are proposing to place a 3x8 multiswitch in the living room, then running two cables from there to each of the bedrooms.
Suggestions: Remove the Zinwell. Use splicing connectors to connect the cables from the dish directly to the cables to the living room. Also, most entertainment centers have a rat's nest of cables behind them. A powered 3 x 8 multiswitch will make the matter much worse. If at all possible, place the multiswitch in a closet. It'll look better, and it's much less likely that a cable will be ripped out by accident.
There's a difference between needing help, and just being plain ole' lazy.
"You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him find it for himself." Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
HR20-700 with 2 TB, HR22-100, HR22-100, HR22-100, HR23-100 all running 0x5cd and networked.
I hadn't considered using the splicing connectors to get the feed into the living room. Thank you! I'll definitely add that to the list. It may well be the way I go.
Thanks again
