No, no, no!
No, no, no!
Thats a ****ing stupid idea. Trade 3 picks for 1 pick. No.
Relax, there's no way that will happen. If by some level of stupidity it were to happen, it would make all the Ireland haters happy because that would surely seal his fate of being gone! And don't think he doesn't know that, so that's why I'm pretty sure he'd never do it.
Anyone think we'd take the plunge on Cruz if he enters the UFA process? Would cost a big contract and our first-round pick.
Because taking a tackle #1 overall took us to such great heights last time! NO.
I'll be flying the "FIRELAND" plane in May if we trade up for Joeckel.
Nobody wants the #1 pick this year.
Hope not!
Hopefully we can turn all the picks we have into more total picks like the PATS always seem to do. Picks are precious, stay at 12 or trade down
No trade up. we have premium picks this year. Its a lot easier to sign Winston and move Martin to LT.

text: The rock musical, Hair with a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot is a dynamic hit everywhere it goes. Featuring anthems like Aquarius<.i> and Let The Sunshine In, the musical defined the genre of rock musical and broke boundaries by featuring a racially integrated cast and inviting audiences on stage for the show's finale Be-In. A Broadway revival most recently opened on March 31, 2009, and gained various accolades including a Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for best revival of a musical. The musical has attracted the talents of former American Idol finalists Ace Young as Berger, Diana DeGarmo as Sheila, Kyle Riabko as Claude, and Annaleigh Ashford as Jeanie. As critics pointed out, the musical remains just as daring as ever and audiences everywhere seek Hair tickets to see this controversial play live.

In Love with this rug !
Cannot say one bad thing about it. My granddaughter spilt some sparling water ( Red) and it came clean with quick action. Just used water and dawn soap. can even see where the splill was.Read More
Beuatiful area rug
This area rugs looks modern and pretty under the king size bed in our master bedroom and is a good contrast to our hardwood floors. The white color and shag is true to the picture. I am very happy with this purchase and it was the perfect addition to our room.Read More
Don't bother
This thing is useless. It's very thin, and the wrinkles never came out so it's wavy. Won't lay flat. Plush is a great word to use...if it's opposite day. Keep looking.Read More
Bright and fluffy rug
The color was a little darker than the photo, but it was just the right look for my guest room. My only complaint was that it took about a week for the "new" smell to go away. I'm not sure if it was the wrapping or the backing and color combined that caused the smell.Read More
Great Rug! Perfected my livingroom
The rug is overall very nice for the price. It is able to withstand frequent vacuuming and 2 dogs that love it. I was slightly disappointed that the sizing was a bit off but not a real problem for me. As for the shade variation, I actually purchased it because others stated that it was off white which is what I was looking for. I also purchased a thick pad which I would highly recommend.Read More
Alexa Plush Rug
This rug was ordered for a nursery, and it feels great underfoot, either with shoes or barefooted. I was happy to see the color and plushness lived up to the picture and description, and that the workmanship is finished on all edges and the underside. I would recommend this product and would purchase again.Read More
Soft plush shag rug!!!
I bought this rug in white and wow so amazing! It's very soft, thick,fluffy and beautiful! NO SHEDDING AT ALL!!! The white color is very accurate. It brightens my family room! I will be purchasing another one in cream for my living room! Very satisfied with this purchase! thank you Overstock!Read More
misleading color
this rug would have gotten 5 stars if the color displayed online were the color of the actual rug. i ordered the glacier blue, which appears to be a light blue/silver tone in the picture. this rug is more teal than anything. not at all as expected. this is the 3rd time i have received a rug from overstock where this was the case. the first 2 i sent back. this one i am keeping and trying to make it work simply because i am tired of losing out on the cost of return shipping. again-the rug itself is great and a bargain, but the unexpected color is a true bummer.Read More
good for price
The rug is beautiful, but it's not as luxurious and thick as others I have seen. However, it is also much less expensive than other shag rugs elsewhere. The smell is terrible, but am hoping that it goes away soon. Also, the edges are very "raw" and look old and shattered. The rug is on the thin side and is definitely not white--more of an antique/ivory white. I bought it for my daughter's nursery and am satifsfied vis a vis the price I paid.Read More

Bantex's service levels have improved considerably with help from IBS supply chain software...forecasting the right product, in the right place and at the right time
Bantex is part of an international conglomerate, Groupe Hamelin, which manufactures, markets, and distributes stationery for office, school and home use. For more than 40 years, Bantex has been known for high-quality office products at affordable prices. Bantex is also known as a leading supplier of 'green' products. It was the first company in the world to manufacture environmentally friendly lever arch files without the use of PVC.
"In the year 2000, we had a major fire and our production facility almost burned down," comments Klaus Afzelius, Managing Director of Bantex Denmark. This led Bantex to a number of important decisions: to move production to a different location, build a new distribution center and examine its IT requirements more closely. Bantex Denmark has a growing workforce of 64 current employees and develops, manufactures and markets office, school and hobby products for professional and private consumers. From its distribution center in Lynge, north of Copenhagen, the company's extensive product range is shipped to more than 60 countries around the world.
The old system was cumbersome and complex with numerous tailor-made functions. Order processing was very slow and stock forecasting inflexible. With many new product groups planned, Bantex realized it must find a state-of-art supply chain solution that would grow with the business. The company looked at several suppliers before choosing the supply chain management software, IBS Enterprise. To quote Klaus Afzelius, "IBS SCM software is an excellent fit for office supplies companies like Bantex. The consultants really understand our business and we felt that IBS was keen to create a long-term partnership." Bantex purchased a wide range of modules including procurement software, sales order management software and warehouse management software through to financials and business intelligence.
Companies like Bantex are expanding across regional and national boundaries and must have supply chain systems that can handle the demands of multi-currency trading. With implemented solutions in over 40 countries, IBS proved its experience in handling many different currencies. "Being able to cope with all the currencies we use was the icing on the cake for us," says Afzelius. Globalization continues to have a major impact on the office supply industry, as it has on all other industries, with acquisitions and mergers occurring all along the supply chain. As more companies expand global operations, their requirements for information and information exchange become more complex and critical. The ability to connect and use information on a wide scale is now an absolute requirement; therefore Bantex needed an application that could hook up different systems and applications.
The best solution for Bantex's integration requirements was IBS Integrator, a powerful tool for systems integration, business process tracking, data management, data replication and synchronization. "IBS Integrator has simplified our business by providing complex power in a solution that is simple to use," comments Klaus Afzelius.
Bantex needed to make reliable decisions on which products to stock, when and how much to replenish. The old system was inflexible, which led to inaccurate fill rates and service levels. The company now makes considerable use of IBS Inventory Control control. This module allows Bantex to make the correct decisions about stock replenishment, improving efficiency and profitability. "Since installing IBS Inventory Control software we are now forecasting the right product, in the right place at the right time, and our service levels have improved considerably," explains Afzelius.
Its international operations have led Bantex to make extensive use of the IBS Multi Distribution Center software. This enables products, which are classified as global or regional, to be supplied from alternative distribution centers or manufacturing units, even if they belong to other group companies. This creates a more flexible supply situation and helps overcome problems such as local shortages or long local lead-times. When deliveries of global and regional products are made between differing legal companies within the group, IBS software automatically performs order handling, invoicing, distribution and financial transactions between the companies.
The IBS Corporate Data Maintenance component helps to streamline business processes. This means that redundant functions such as maintaining corporate files and tables can be identified and removed, allowing Bantex to maintain and transfer data more efficiently. IBS Corporate Data Maintenance is built on the concept that corporate data such as items, account files, and customer files are maintained at one company, and are automatically made accessible to all other companies within the group.
The result of a development by Groupe Hamelin is the creation of digital notepads, which leverage the power of Anoto-technology. This technology entails interpretation and transmission of handwritten text and images and is based on a special digital pen and paper printed with a pattern that is invisible to the eye. Advanced image processing and a complex infrastructure allow anything written on the paper with this pen to be transformed to digital media. This innovative product led to Bantex and IBS developing a new way of processing the sales orders that are taken at customer sites by Bantex sales representatives. Previously, these orders were hand-written on pre-printed stationery and then keyed into the sales order system before processing. This procedure was extremely laborious and prone to manual errors.
Now, the moment orders are confirmed, IBS software is automatically updated using Bluetooth via a Cellphone directly to a central data hub. "Using the digital notepads, no more re-keying of orders is required and our clients are very impressed with the speed and efficiency of deliveries," says Afzelius.
With excellent working examples on show, IBS and Bantex are keen to help other companies leverage this complex but simple-to-use technology.

Meaningless game? Tell that to the Bills hoping to keep jobs [8:05 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'However, Phillips denies his job is on his mind. "I'm focused on this game, I'm coaching, I'm not even thinking (about my job)," he maintained. "(Owner) Ralph Wilson makes decisions based on what's best for the Buffalo Bills. I'm sure he'll make the right decision (on coaches)."'
Holmgren learns lesson in meaningless games [8:03 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'Mike Holmgren isn't used to playing meaningless football games. The Seattle Seahawks' head coach has worked 15 seasons in the National Football League and not until this year had he ever had a team involved in a losing season.'
More than a game at stake [8:02 AM]
Seattle Post Intelligencer reports: 'Seahawks, 23-17.'
Seattle will pull out all the stops to contain Flutie [8:01 AM]
Seattle Times reports: '"I think, probably, Flutie is one of the best scrambling, creating quarterbacks who has ever played the game," said Seahawk defensive coordinator Steve Sidwell, acknowledging the headaches Flutie can cause an opposing coach.'
Capsule preview: Seahawks vs. Bills [8:00 AM]
Seattle Times reports: 'Guard Ruben Brown was selected to his fifth straight Pro Bowl. Only Bill legends Bruce Smith (11), Andre Reed (7) and Steve Tasker (6) have earned more total Pro Bowl selections than Brown, a team captain this season.'
Holmgren plans another overhaul [7:57 AM]
Olympia Olympian reports: 'There is a very real possibility that the Seahawks' leading passer (Jon Kitna), receiver (Sean Dawkins) and rusher (Ricky Watters) could be gone after the season. Kitna is a free agent whom Holmgren is not expected to re-sign, while Dawkins and Watters might be let go in cost-cutting moves.'
Seahawks game preview [7:56 AM]
Olympia Olympian reports: 'Pick: Bills, 27-20.'
Bills at Seahawks [7:55 AM]
Spokane Spokesman Review reports: 'Buffalo has lost four straight. Make it five. Seattle 27, Bills 20.'
Butler move is good for Bills [7:54 AM]
Fox Sports reports: 'The Bills are a club that is stagnating right now. They finally made it back to the playoffs last season, but fell short of that mark this season, although injuries on defense can be argued as their downfall. But when you look closer, this is a franchise that needs to move in a positive direction.'
The Seahawks' opponent this week: Buffalo Bills [5:29 PM]
Tacoma News Tribune reports: 'After defeating Tennessee in the opener, the highlight was a midseason stretch that saw the Bills go 4-0, winning three on the road. ... The lowlight was a 33-6 defeat to the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 3, the second game in the Bills' current four-game skid.'
Salary cap could lead to Flutie's farewell [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills are about $10 million over the projected cap for next season, according to News estimates. They will need to clear that much salary room and then more in order to try to sign soon-to-be free agents Eric Moulds and Marcellus Wiley.'
Flutie says he'd like to stay [8:28 AM]
D and C reports: 'It would cost the Bills a $4.5 million salary cap hit to dump Flutie, and that figure rises to $6.5 million to dump Johnson. It's financial suicide, and Flutie doesn't see it happening.'
GM Butler spurns Bills' lucrative bids [8:27 AM]
USA Today reports: 'During the last year of his contract, Butler kept hearing from other general managers and agents that he was grossly underpaid.'
Wasting time? [8:25 AM]
Fox Sports reports: 'The defense rests. So should Spanos. He should stop his search for a general manager before it begins. He should do what's best for his team and what's right for his organization. He should hire John Butler. Now.'
Wiley's season has gone from tears to joy [8:33 PM]
AP reports: 'While his back is still not fully healed, his mind is at ease. In his last seven games, Wiley has been in on 57 tackles, including a career-high 17 against New England, and recorded 7 1/2 sacks.'
Courting Mr. Butler [8:29 PM]
Fox Sports reports: '"It's been said I was looking to get out," said Butler, "but that's totally incorrect. My contract expired Feb. 28; two days later free agency starts. Most clubs have to have people in place and prepared the minute free agency opens. There wasn't going to be any type of advantage for me."'
The secret diaries of Doug Flutie: I'm short and I'm good [1:52 PM]
St. Catharines Standard reports: 'Arrogant. Can you believe that? I know I'm good. I know I'm pretty. And, OK, maybe I shouldn't have told all that stuff to that Sports Illustrated guy about Mushhead (Mushhead -- heh, heh, heh, I kinda like that one), but that doesn't mean I'm arrogant.'
Wilson ups the ante on performance [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"It's always been my practice just to go out and play no matter what," linebacker John Holecek said. "But, obviously, when you have something like this, you have the added pressure, people are going to be looking over their shoulders. And damn right they should be playing hard."'
Wilson's ax just might swing again [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'One thing Wade is advised not to do on the flight to Seattle or the return trip to Buffalo is make a goal-line stand to keep his coaching staff intact.'
Phillips says strong finish still the goal [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"We play to win. That's what we've done all along, and that's what we're going to do this week."'
Sacking the general manager [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'With a San Diego job reportedly his for the asking and his stock extremely high in football circles, who can blame Butler for wanting to test the post-season market to see what he's worth? It's not a good idea, though, to ignore the boss.'
One more song for Flutie [7:47 AM]
Toronto Star reports: 'With the John Butler era in Buffalo officially over, the final chapter of the Doug Flutie saga might soon be written as well.'
Phillips dances the soft shoe [7:46 AM]
Toronto Star reports: '"My focus this week is on this ballgame," said Phillips, who is rumoured to be next in line for owner Ralph Wilson Jr.'s axe after Buffalo wraps up the regular season in Seattle on Saturday night at Husky Stadium.'
Bills have tough road to victory [6:41 AM]
Seattle Times reports: 'They are traveling cross country to play the Seahawks in a game that has none of the meaning Phillips had hoped it would have. But jobs for 2001, including his, are at risk.'
'If I can't hire you, I'll fire you' [6:36 AM]
CNN/SI reports: 'But the facts are these: Wilson's contract offers weren't competitive.'
'Tis the season to be jittery [6:32 AM]
D and C reports: 'Now that he's going [to Seattle this weekend], rumors are running rampant that Wilson may decide -- based on what happens in Seattle -- Phillips' future this weekend.'
A Levy-Butler reunion not far-fetched [6:31 AM]
D and C reports: '"I had an excellent working relationship with John, just as I had a great working relationship with his predecessor, Bill Polian," Levy said when asked about that scenario. "I have great regard for John. Yes, that would be a desirable situation, but I don't even want to speculate about that."'
Bills' new GM faces major problems with cap, offense [6:29 AM]
D and C reports: 'The Bills reportedly will be $11 million over the adjusted salary cap for 2001 and will have to pay big money to retain free agents Eric Moulds and Marcellus Wiley. The team will have to cut several high-priced veterans and is unlikely to have any money to attract any significant free agents.'
Butler interested if Chargers hire a GM [6:29 AM]
AP reports: 'When asked about the speculation that he would be courted by other teams, specifically the Chargers, Butler said: "I didn't even have a chance to think about anything besides the Buffalo Bills. They were my team for 14 years."'
Butler's dismissal raises serious questions for Bills [6:27 AM]
AP reports: 'A month ago, the Bills were 7-4 and in the thick of the playoff hunt. They've since lost four straight for the first time in 15 years, been decimated by injuries, and are playing out the season in a mean-nothing game at Seattle.'

Original Price: $599.99 Shop all Over-the-ear Headphones Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff. Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by David Brown Serious about great sound? Let HiFiMAN take you higher Few audio companies have been embraced by audiophiles as quickly as HiFiMAN. Their innovative planar magnetic driver headphones have excited critical listeners with their luscious warmth, precise clarity and dynamic range. The HE-500 is no exception, delivering stunning detail and accuracy thanks to the ultra-wide frequency response produced by the large planar drivers housed in these artful headphones. Go planar and you may never go back Unlike the dynamic drivers used in most headphones and speakers, planar drivers use thin flexible diaphragms with voice coils etched onto their surface rather than a voice coil attached to a cone. This exceptionally lightweight structure uses a large driver surface area to reproduce your music with openness and detail that are difficult to achieve with conventional designs. The HE-500's drivers achieve a remarkable frequency response, giving listeners powerful bass impact balanced with super-smooth mids and crystalline highs that will satisfy the most demanding audiophiles. Designed for home use, the HE-500 requires a headphone amplifier, be it a small desktop unit for a computer or a more powerful amp paired with stereo components. An amp will bring all the detail and dynamics out of these headphones and out of your music. The HE-500 ships with a braided detachable cord which screws into both earcups, a pair of leather ear pads and an extra pair of velour ear pads for customizable comfort. You'll need it, because once you discover the benefits of planar drivers, you may not want to take these headphones off. Looking for a great-sounding portable music player?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort rating Noise Reduction Sound Quality These phones were great right out of the box! They are the best I have used to date.Wide open sound stage, extended bass without being muddy or boomy.The highs are excellent without being harsh,NO dynamic compression in the extreme treble! I am driving them with a Yamaha C-80 preamp without any trouble at all.They are comfortable to wear and very good for extended listening cessions.I highly recommend the HE-500. If you enjoy HIGH END audio the are the phones for you!! Was this review helpful? Yes No Well Made Written By outthere, Idaho on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort rating Noise Reduction Sound Quality Let me first say, I may not have burned in these headphones enough to give an accurate review--the manual says to let them play for 150 hours non-stop. That seemed extreme, especially since I was not sure I was going to keep them. (Crutchfield's incredible service let me compare 'phones, in addition to the Audeze I also evaluated). My reaction was similar to the Audeze, which use similar technology: the frequency response is flat as a table, but the soundstage is walled-in, like putting on ear-speakers. That is not to say these are not stellar (and a relative bargain) high-fidelity headphones. They simply could not rival the experience of either the Sennheiser HD-800s nor the Grado 1000s. Pros: Flat, faithful frequency response. Beautiful finish and plush leather--comfortable though a little warm in summer. Reasonable price for the technology and build quality. Cons: Limited sound stage does not sound like open headphones. Need power (I used HiFiMan's HD5 to drive them). Accuracy sometimes isn't enough to be thrilling. 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sound! Written By John W, Dallas, TX on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I've been piddling around in the mid-fi headphone pool for several years, and so have gone through several pairs of $200-$300 headphones without every finding "the one". Finally, I decided to take a leap and buy one of the acknowledged top-tier headphones, the HE-500. Long story short - I'm happy :) These phones have a very clear and engaging sound, with no notable weaknesses for my usage. I'll note I'm looking for a quality headphone amp to complete my personal listening station - though my current laptop DAC (the AudioQuest DragonFly) has sufficient power to drive these to acceptable levels, I feel a more powerful amp would give even greater impact and allow me to really rock out, should the occasion arise ;) Pros: Clean, clear sound Excellent frequency response, from sub-bass to treble Cons: Probably needs a separate headphone amp to achieve full potential 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hifiman HE-500 Delivers Written By Jbalbin, Mountain House, CA on Saturday, April 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort rating Noise Reduction Sound Quality I decided it was time for a headphone upgrade. My journey started from Grado 125i's to Beyerdynamic DT990's and now to this. After reading some reviews online I decided to take the plunge and order these headphones. Prior to this purchase I auditioned Sennheiser 650 and 800, Beyerdynamics T1, Audeze LCD2 & LCD3 and I didn't really like the sound of those except LCD3. The T1 sounded similar to my DT990 (still like-fun cans), the Senn 800 flagship too shallow and analytical (but good for classical), and LCD's (dark with a shallow soundstage). I never heard hifimans until my order and I believe I made the right choice. The HE-500 has the smoothness of the LCD's but with nice crystal highs. These headphones have no sibilance at all and I can listen to them all day. These are one of the most balanced headphones I have heard and can take on any genre of music I throw at it from classical, electronica, jazz, rock to you name it. Mids are silky and very natural. It does wonders for vocals, guitar and cello instruments. Be aware thought that it took me about 250-300hrs of burn in to sound this good. Prior to burn in the soundstage was shallow, the bass lacking, and the highs annoying. These headphones sound best amped. On my desktop I paired them with a TubeMagic D2 DAC and Emotiva a100 mini-x amp and the sound is amazing. For a portable setup the Fiio E11 w iPhone actually works but desktop setup is better sounding. The comfort is there but be aware of orthodynamic cans weight. Pros: Very balanced sound across frequency spectrum, easy to listen to all day with no ear fatigue, natural sounding, velour pads provided for more comfort Cons: Long burn in time, screw connectors for audio cable should be switched to locking mini xlr 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Simply superb Written By VanD, Brooklyn, NY on Sunday, March 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality First off, let's put "Noise Reduction" in the N/A category here. Those of us who buy and appreciate open back headphones understand that noise cancellation is not a motivating factor. I bought the HE-500 cans after reading the multitude of glowing reviews on the Internet. They're right on target. These cans sound GREAT. The midrange is crisp, the soundstage is truly immersive. And if you ask me, you don't need a headphone amp if you own a decent receiver; they're not hard to drive, really. Pros: Amazing sound with immersive soundstage. Balanced -- you're not hit over the head with excessive treble, bass, etc. The MOST comfortable headphones I've ever used. Solidly built. Cons: None. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Outstanding Cans Written By JC, Simi Valley, CA on Thursday, February 07, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I've had these for a few months now and have truly enjoyed them. The highs are silky, midrange palpable, and the bass deep and taut. When the headphones arrived, they were well-packaged in a re-usable black box. I don't think the box was leather but nicely made. As far as the other reviewer downgrading the included cable, I've had no problems with getting all tangled. The silver headphone cables are high quality and they sound good. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, and the HIFIMAN EF-5 tube headphone amp is a killer combination. But if you're looking for headphones to isolate yourself from the rest of the world then these will not work for you, these headphones are open backed.....so you hear the outside noise but the outside noise isn't so loud that it detracts from enjoying the headphones, unless there's construction going on outside your house. Other than that, these headphones are great, much better than the Grado RS1 or Sennheiser HD 600 that I've had. Pros: 1. Deep/taut bass, smooth midrange, and silky treble. 2. The box that the headphones comes in is pretty cool. Cons: No active noise cancellation. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Doesn't do it for me Written By Steve D, Kennesaw Ga on Friday, November 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I was hoping I would really like these phones but that was not the case. I currently own Beyer T1s, Grado RS1i, AKG 701s, Senn HD650 among others, with really good front and back (both tube and SS) ends. I also have HIFIMAN HE5LEs (modified somewhat by a Moon Audio Silver Dragon Cable and earcup mods) and was hoping that sound would be improved with the HE500s.In my opinion, it was not. The HE500s have gotten rave reviews almost everywhere else but to my ears they sound bloated and muffled right out of the box. After 200+ hrs of break in (Ayre disc), the sound improved slightly and though the frequency response was fairly even all the way across, it still was somewhat muddied and muffled. The richness, vividness, whatever you want to call it , was simply not there for me, from the bottom on up thru the top.. Keep in mind the headphones I gravitate to and use as my references have a reputation among many to have (slightly) colored mids (Grados) and (slightly) tilted up highs (Beyers), so your results may vary. The HE500s just don't do it for me. One other thing I want to mention is the suppied cable that comes with these. Even though it is silver conductor , it has no outer sheathing and is EXTREMELY flimsy and gets tangled up like you wouldn't believe. I was stunned that HIFIMAN would supply such a mickey mouse cable with such a hi end headphone. This literally looks like it was made in your basement. Sounds good, but needs to be way beefier, thus 2 stars for build quality. Pros: Comfortable, frequency response pretty even from top to bottom Cons: Lack of Vividness, flimsy cable 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The HE-500s come with a detachable 10' silver cable with an angled 1/4" plug. The headphones can be stored in the supplied black velour pouch or the hinged hard case. Performance: These high-end headphones are not efficient enough to provide adequate volume when used with an average portable music player. For best performance, it is recommended that you use a headphone amplifier to drive them. Ear Pads: The HE-500 headphones come with two sets of ear pads.

Beth Mowins and Kara Lawson handled announcing duties for last night's BYU-Gonzaga game from Spokane. Mowins is one of ESPN's best on the play-by-play mic, and Lawson is an established star as an analyst. Turns out a lot of brain-damaged misogynists had a problem with basketball knowledge being spat at them by smart, capable broadcasters who happen to possess vaginas. Here are some of the stupid things those people said.
2 girls commenting a men's game... KYS ESPN!
— Zach Watson (@Watson321Zach) January 26, 2014
One girl is bad enough as an announcer. But two of them for the same game. C ya

Opolais sings the title role of the country girl who transforms herself into a Parisian temptress, while Kaufmann is the dashing student who desperately woos her. Director Richard Eyre places the action in occupied France in a film noir setting. "Desperate passion" is the phrase Puccini himself used to describe the opera that confirmed his position as the preeminent Italian opera composer of his day. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leads the stirring score.

When looking for the best AV to fit your needs, there are a handful of key elements to consider. These are not listed in any particular order, so while some people might place more importance on Resource Usage (like myself!) others will consider the Price to be the most important factor. So it's up to the individual to decide which is most important:
- Detection Rate (how well does my AV catch known and unknown threats?)
- Resource Usage (does it slow down my system noticably?)
- Ease of use (is the interface cluttered? is it intuitive to navigate?)
- Stability/Compatibility (does this program cause crashes or conflict with my other programs?)
- Frequency of Updates (how quickly does the vendor respond to new threats?)
- Price (freeware/shareware/commercial)
I will start this off by grouping the AV's into 2 sections, Freeware and Shareware/Commercial. Within each section, I have sorted the programs from "Best" to "Worst" based on their current rating from BetaNews' FileForum section (Hence the BN Rating). However it should be noted that ALL of these programs are fairly good AVs and there are a few that were left off the list entirely because they were just too weak to make the cut. So calling any of these "The Worst" is perhaps unfair. Also, please note that of the following programs, I have only personally tested avast!, NOD32, Norton, and AVG. So I would appreciate some comments on the other apps if you have used them and love/hate them.
avast! Home v4.6
BN rating: [4.6/5.0]
Pros: very low resource usage, very stable. one of the only free AVs with x64 support.
Cons: slightly cluttered GUI.
AntiVir Personal Edition 7.0 (mouser's favorite freeware AV!)
BN rating: [4.3/5.0]
Pros: high detection rates. low resource usage.
Cons: shows nag screen during update. download of updates is sometimes problematic.
Cons: no POP3 scanner (however, infected attachments will be detected as soon as they are opened or saved to your disk).
Cons: it has been suggested that the nag screen can be disabled using Group Policy however the details of this are still unknown.
AVG Free 7.1
BN rating: [4.0/5.0]
Pros: low resource usage. easy to navigate interface.
Cons: only average detection rate. somewhat prone to getting corrupted and requiring re-installation.
I am still undecided as to which freeware AV I prefer. Of the 2 that I've tested personally, I prefer AVG's simple user interface over Avast's. I found Avast's GUI somewhat scattered (why do we need 2 separate tray icons?) and the meaning of the various options were not as obvious to me (exactly what does the "P2P shield" do?). I admit that I did not delve too deeply into the manual however. But, in Avast's favor, it has a loyal following and resource usage is also quite low, perhaps even lower than AVG's. I did not experience any perceivable slowdown when using either AVG or Avast. I have not tested any of the other freeware AVs mentioned. I will leave them open for others to comment on.
NOD32 v2.5 (my personal favorite at the moment!)
BN rating: [4.5/5.0]
Pros: low resource usage (when not using advanced heuristics). clean GUI. also detects (some) spyware. very frequent updates.
Cons: complicated exclusion feature.
Base Price: US $39 / Renewal Price: $27.30
BitDefender 9 Standard
BN rating: [4.5/5.0]
Pros: updates often. simple interface. high detection rates. cheap!
Cons: unknown
Base Price: US $29.95 / Renewal Price: $14.98
Kaspersky AntiVirus (KAV) 2006 (beta)
BN rating: [4.2/5.0]
Pros: excellent detection rates. lower resource usage than v5.0 (although still not as low as some of the competition).
Cons: seems to have some conflicts with the popular ZoneAlarm firewall.
Base Price: US $39.95 / Renewal Price: $27.97
Panda Titanium 2006
BN rating: [3.3/5.0]
Pros: very high detection rates. nice interface. talking guy with spanish accent on the web page :-)
Cons: expensive. reportedly a "resource hog" using 35-40MB of RAM.
Base Price: US $49.95 / Renewal Price: unknown
McAfee VirusScan 10.0/2006
BN rating: [3.2/5.0]
Pros: fast. resource usage is low, on par with NOD32.
Cons: requires installation of the "McAfee Resource Center" which is used to promote other McAfee products.
Base Price: US $39.99 / Renewal Price: $39.99
Norton AntiVirus 2006 (beta)
BN rating: [3.0/5.0]
Pros: probably the most well-known AV. esay-to-use GUI. very good detection rates.
Cons: resource hog. expensive.
Base Price: US $39.99 / Renewal Price: $29.99
AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium 7.0
BN rating: [unknown]
Pros: high detection rates. low resource usage.
Cons: unknown
Base Price: 20.00 € / Renewal Price: unknown
Having personally tested only NOD32 and Norton in this category, I can say that between the two, NOD32 wins hands-down. I have been a NOD32 user for several years now and have not had a single infection despite what most would consider "heavy" downloading! I am somewhat obsessed with system optimization and efficiency so therefore my priorities were skewed towards low resource usage and speed, both areas in which NOD32 excels. I like the fact that individual modules within the program can be turned off depending on your needs. NOD32's "IMON" module detects viruses mid-stream as they are being downloaded (yes-before they have even touched your hard drive) which is a nice feature (can be disabled if you want). I have always found Norton Antivirus to be a resource hog and I have seen it conflict with/slow down many a system in my time. This is especially true of older, less powerful systems (<512MB RAM, <2ghz CPUs) In Symantec's defense, NAV does have decent detection rates and an easy-to-use GUI.
As this thread fills up (hopefully) with comments from other users, I will keep this post updated and add/remove AV programs as needed. Eventually I hope to narrow the list to only 1 or 2 "best" programs in each category (Free/Commercial). And hopefully I would like to DROP the poorly ranked Commercial suites from the list (Panda/McAfee/Norton), unless I get a lot of users posting that they disagree with those ratings. So come on and post your opinions!
Here are some additional related posts on DC's forum concerning AntiVirus apps:
Perhaps also worth noting are some online/web-based scanners (all free):
- Trend Micro Housecall - http://housecall.trendmicro.com
- VirusTotal - http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
- Jotti VirusScan - http://virusscan.jotti.org (seems to be offline at the moment)

White Papers and Reports for Download
The Best Infrastructure for OpenStack
Side-by-side OpenStack benchmarking conducted by a third-party technical validation firm shows that infrastructure based on vSphere with VSAN performs better than a similar Red Hat stack built upon KVM and Red Hat Storage (GlusterFS). OpenStack workloads run faster on vSphere than on KVM and cost less - benefits of the hyperconverged Virtual SAN architecture.
Stop the Finger-Pointing: Managing Tier 1 Applications with VMware vRealize™ Operations™
David Davis, VMware vExpert, talks about how inadequate information on the real source of the performance or infrastructure problems leads to inaccurate insights. This article then details, how the vRealize Operations is the bet choice to provide:
- Insight into all aspects of the virtual infrastructure, including servers, storage, network, hypervisor and applications
- Prediction of infrastructure problems before they occur
- Monitoring and alertingv
- Root-cause analysis
- Single pane of glass and efficient dashboard that helps you to quickly identify problems
Managing VMware vSphere Using Microsoft System Center Increases Costs and Complexity
Edison Group applied their Comparative Management Cost Study methodology to assess the costs and complexity of managing a vSphere infrastructure using VMware vCenter vs. Microsoft System Center. Their findings show that management using vCenter is 36% less time consuming and 41% less complex than with System Center -- differences that translate into significant operational cost savings.
Total Cost Comparison: VMware vSphere vs. Microsoft Hyper-V
This paper compares the operational costs of running a virtualized data center on vSphere 5 vs. Microsoft Hyper-V. vSphere demonstrated 91% lower administrative costs in tests conducted by Principled Technologies. The OpEx savings further contribute to the vSphere TCO advantage over Microsoft.
Whitepaper: Why Choose VMware - Why VMware is the Better Choice
This whitepaper outlines the three main reasons to choose VMware over other cloud infrastructure platforms. The concepts covered apply to companies of all sizes who are interested in using virtualization as the foundation for cloud computing.
Architectural Requirements for a Data Center-Ready Virtualization Platform
This Taneja Group Report concludes that "not all server virtualization architectures are created equal." VMware's hypervisor architecture is ahead of all other offerings in meeting all core requirements (ex. scalability, security, performance, availability) for enterprise data centers.
An Overview of the Cloud Market Vendor Landscape
This Taneja Group Report clearly states that VMware stands out as a Cloud leader, and the only virtualization vendor in the leader category, with all competitors classified in the disruptors, defenders or followers categories. Roll-up scores are based on a 5-point Harvey Ball scale and were calculated by averaging each factor score, then weighted by our analysis of each vendor's cloud focus, expertise, level of investment, and publicly-announced solution strategies and product directions.
An overview of the virtualization and cloud market vendor landscape for Small and Medium businesses
In this paper, Taneja Group presents an evaluation of the virtualization and cloud solution market for small and medium business (SMB) users (companies with less than 1000 employees). Of the six vendors in the comparative study, VMware's solutions come closest to matching the set of top-level requirements that SMBs should be looking for. VMware today provides an integrated solutions family spanning on-premise virtualization, end user computing, and cloud.
VMware provides a rapid path for SMBs to virtualization and cloud via a set of easy to deploy and manage offerings, built on the foundation of a reliable, advanced, and widely deployed hypervisor platform.
vSphere 5.5 with Operations Management Features and Benefits Comparison
This document provides a features and benefits comparison of vSphere 5.5 with Operations Management versus the competition. vSphere 5.5 with Operations Management provides a comprehensive solution that is the platform of choice for virtualizing and managing your infrastructure. This document provides a technical analysis into the key areas of managing a virtualization infrastructure and shows why the functionality that a VMware based solution differs from the competition.

Make him a slot WR, dump Bess and sign Wallace. With Miller as the starting RB, that would make us a pretty quick team with 3 starters that run a sub 4.4 forty time.
Make him a slot WR, dump Bess and sign Wallace. With Miller as the starting RB, that would make us a pretty quick team with 3 starters that run a sub 4.4 forty time.
Jets suck, Bills suck, Patriots suck.
SCall13, Jr.
Teams keyed in on Bush last season because nobody else on the offense scared opponents. That is why the coaches couldn't get the most out of Bush in both the running game and passing game. In the NFL it's pretty easy to take out a superstar when there are no other weapons to worry about. Same thing will happen to Wallace if we don't bring back Bush and surround him with other real threats.
Put him at slot receiver!!! Few players in the NFL are more dangerous with the ball in their hands... just ask entire colts defense
I think he'll stay with us for something reasonable. He's not going to find huge demand on the open market and he has an established role on this team.
This guy was the only offensive playmaker we had last year, despite some of his minor deficiencies. Bush needs to stay a Dolphin, sharing the load with Miller. Cut Thomas. Dude blows.
Btw, tried to thank all the pro Bush posts, but got tired after 2 pages.
I would like bush back for like 3 yrs 12 mil but nothig more. Its a low ball offer but according to the fins they r fine with Miller as the starter. If thats the case they r not going to pay a back up RB more then 4 mil a year. Wouldnt mind signing bush and getting rid of thomas and have miller and bush split carries. Miller 12-14 and bush 8-12 and roll with the hot hand.
Of course the Fins are fine with Miller at RB . . . it's called leverage in contract negotiating.
There were games that Thomas was hurt and Miller could barely sniff the field. I highly doubt the Fins are content with just Miller at RB. Not saying Reggie is their one and done answer but they certainly wouldn't mind having their best playmaker back at a good price.
He wants to stay here in Miami. I think they sign him or he ends up with his former coach in Oakland.
He is a million times more reliable than the original wildhog/wildcat.

Writing Internship Program (WIP)
Since 1996, the Writing Internship Program (WIP) at Kent State University has been placing students in internships in and around Kent where they learn valuable, real world writing experience.
The Writing Internship Program is a cooperative endeavor between students, the community, and the Department of English. As such, it has a number of inter-related goals. Your own goals might include expanding your interests and experiences, finding out if you are suited for work as a professional or technical writer, and gaining valuable work experience before you graduate. For the community groups or businesses that use interns, the goals of the program may be to maintain good relationships with the university, to introduce "fresh blood" and new ideas into their organizations, and (frankly) to acquire smart, energetic, able workers without cost.
For the Department, the goals of the program include, of course, continued good relations with the community and successful placement of students into jobs after graduation. However, the most important goal of the program from our point of view is to enrich your education as a careful reader and competent writer, and to complement your classroom learning as a student of language and discourse. For instance, your work as a writing intern should involve a great deal of writing, and this writing may differ in important ways from the writing you do in most courses. Your "audience" will consist not of a teacher (whom you know) or even your contemporaries (such as your classmates). Your notions of readers will enlarge to include multiple audiences--your immediate supervisor and other members of the organization, as well as some segment of "the public" whose interests you must meet and whose backgrounds, knowledge, and values may be quite different from your own. This kind of writing, in a rich and immediate rhetorical situation, will teach you a great deal about writing and about the functions and uses of discourse. To this end, the requirements of the course include both job-related and academic responsibilities.

My favorite thing about these burgers is that although they look like rare beef, they actually taste like vegetables.
Quinoa, Beet and Chickpea Burgers
Update 11/13/13: A few commenters have reported that their burgers aren't holding together well. Until I can get to the bottom of this, I would recommend weighing your beets - they should be 10 ounces in all. If you've weighed your beets and the mixture still won't stick, try adding an extra egg and/or more quick oats.

If you have seen a male scantily clad in high-split running shorts racing around the streets of Creston, down the trails and along the shoulder of surrounding county roads, chances are pretty high it was me.
While the attire may seem excessive — in a minimal sense — to those of you who are new or have no knowledge of the sport, take a quick glance at any serious runner at the local, college or professional level.
Not a single American running track and field at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England, in any of the running events wore shorts hanging below their knees during competition.
Some middle- and long-distance runners are even switching to compression shorts.
Don't worry Crestonians, I don't own any compression material, yet.
Wearing running shorts isn't a fashion statement; it is simply the most effective combination of light, comfortable workout clothing to help runners perform at a high level.
A 16-mile long run is already a physically- and mentally-daunting challenge, but carrying another 1 or 2 pounds of baggy shorts and a cotton T-shirt soaked with sweat is inefficient.
Now, I don't mind the honks, laughter and quizzical looks that come while I am running. I typically just use it as motivation to run a little faster and continue to make myself a little better.
And if you are going to jeer an attempted insult, be a little more creative than "Run Forrest, run."
It's my favorite movie, so it has no effect on my psyche.
I'm hoping that my attire has an additional benefit of keeping bikers, runners and walkers a little safer while sharing the roads.
According to RoadID, an average of 122,000 runners, walkers and cyclists are injured by vehicles every year in the United States.
RoadID is a company that specializes in creating identification for active people to wear in case of an accident. The RoadID is great for runners, hikers, bikers and children who do not carry identification on them during workouts or adventures.
I am not putting the blame solely on drivers, but there is a simple truth to all pedestrian/vehicle accidents — the person inside the vehicle has a significantly higher chance of leaving the accident physically unharmed.
Exercise enthusiasts need to take the lead in practicing proper road-sharing techniques on all roads. Bicyclists should ride with traffic and runners/walkers should move against traffic flow.
When fatigue, enthusiasm or lack of judgment occurs, drivers should be on the lookout for individuals working out and adjust their speed or travel to avoid an incident.
Texting and driving is especially hazardous for anyone sharing the roadway with traffic. According to the Iowa DOT, the average text message takes five seconds to send. At 55 mph, the driver would have his or her eyes off the road for the length of a football field.
It will take a team effort to keep everyone safe and encourage Creston to be fit.
I hope to see some new faces on the roads and trails soon. Happy training.

Bend, Ore. -- (KTVZ) As about a dozen supporters rallied outside, a man and woman protesting Republicans' inaction on immigration reform staged a sit-in at Rep. Greg Walden's Bend office Wednesday, saying they won't leave until they are arrested -- and they were.
After police were called to the Bond Street office of the congressman, Greg Delgado and Ann Havill still refused to leave, were cited for criminal trespass and released, said Officer Rob Emerson.
Here's the news release issued earlier by Causa, a statewide Latino immigrant rights organization:
It's been nearly a year since the U.S. Senate passed the bipartisan immigration bill, and during that time, House Republicans have used nearly every excuse in the book as to why they can't finish the job and pass comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.

Greensburg Kansas Rebuilds Better and Greener After Tornado!
After the tornado, the community gathered together and drafted a plan to rebuild, which included the commitment to build up to LEED Platinum standards and become a model green town for the future. Maybe it was just fate that the name of the town was Greensburg, and maybe the community felt like they needed to live up to that name, but since 2007, the community has done an amazing job of resurrecting their town into one that is better, stronger and greener. Greensburg GreenTown, a non-profit started by Daniel Wallach and dedicated to helping the town grow green, has been at the center of the transformation – providing resources, technical assistance, educational programs, and help with the master plans for the city.
The town has a long list of accomplishments and a lot of new buildings since 2007 and would make most towns green with envy, including design competitions, green tours to showcase the town, the high school Green Club, a farmer's market, reclaimed lumber project, a volunteer program and an educational series. The Greensburg Wind Farm of 10 turbines began generating power back in March and supplies enough power for 4,000 households, which is more than enough power for the entire town. The carbon neutral town is also working on the Chain of Eco Homes, which are twelve homes around the town dedicated to showcasing green building technologies and service as living laboratories. Once completed the Chain of Eco Homes will be available both as an informational center and as eco-lodging where people can experience green living first-hand. Otherwise, over 100 homes have been rebuilt with energy ratings performed on them that perform 40% better than code.

Actually the Town of Greensburg made residential construction exempt from the LEED building criteria so as to not kill potential homesteading or house rebuilding. The fact that there are a few homes that have gone so green is setting a good example, but is not required.

I would like to contribute to the efforts to build Greensburg Kansas. I am a 73 year old retired gentleman who would like to make a difference. I have a substantial contribution to make.
