>Gears and Wears>Is the Garmin Forerunner 305 Discontinued?
I've had my 310 for years. It has always been pretty quirky, but it does TWO things which I really appreciate: 1) it disregards water (none of that "oh I sweat so much I screwed up the unit" nor "rain makes the bezel freak out") and 2) the battery lasts for 17ish hours.
One of the big deals they advertised when it was released was that would acquire satellites so much faster than other units. In my experience, that has been complete bs. It isn't worse... but it also isn't lightning fast.
It locks up occasionally, like others. Usually the multi-button salute resets it. One time it did not and I had to let the battery drain.
The original band spontaneously combusted in the middle of an ultra. That sucked. However, it lasted 3ish years of much use before that happened.
The weirdest quirk is that it seems to be slightly aggressive in recording miles. When I'm running with other people who have garmins, mine ALWAYS clicks off a mile before others. But I think that is my specific unit.
Twice in the past year, I've glanced down while running easy to see my garmin cheerfully reporting that I was running 5 minute pace. Um, no. And I don't mean garmin's goofy instantaneous pace thingy (which is never going to mean much)... I mean average. And it would chirp off miles as if I was running 5 minute miles.
Typical stuff on technical trails with switchbacks and steep sections... it underestimates the mileage slightly.
It is great with tall buildings and tree cover.
Another quirk, maybe just with my unit... I go inside (or, say, in a tunnel) and it loses signal. Then I go back outside. It should do a straightline approximation between where it lost and where it reacquired. Not mine. Well, sometimes it does. Sometimes it vastly VASTLY overcorrects. But not always.
Yes, I am running the latest firmware. About the only change I've noticed with firmware upgrades is that the "I hit a mile!" chirp is now more subtle. Wee.
One last thing: if you are used to the 305, then you are used to the nice cradle for charging and connecting to the PC. The 310 gets BOTH of those wrong. You charge it with a thing that looks like a fancy alligator clip. Getting it to seat properly is way dumber than it should be. And if you get it a little wrong, it's like hot-wiring a car and it will just turn the unit on (WTF). For communicating with your PC, you will have to learn about the ANT stick. It's a USB antenna thingy. In theory, this is cool. In practice, it sucks donkey dingus. For one, the ant stick is easy to lose. For two, the various pieces of software required to make it sync are like the dude spinning plates at the circus... it breaks. And to fix it, you can reload the driver... or you can just try again and sometimes it works "right". GAH.
Well I hope I like mine, that wasn't exactly a glowing review, haha.
Running my way to being a little less fat.
All of the garmin units are quirky. It works fine, basically. Does what I need it to do. I only use about 10% of the features. The long battery life and water resistance are big deals when you are a trail/ultrarunner in Seattle.
I would absolutely recommend it for that price.
If you want rainbows and candy, look elsewhere though.
I figured I couldn't get a watch with those features at a better price point which is why I pulled the trigger on it. Wasn't even in the market for a watch but my 210 isn't great for biking so I figured the 310xt would suit my needs just fine. As long as it does what it is supposed to do the majority of the time I will be happy at $198.
12 Monkeys
ANT sticks are a whole load of WTF.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I don't mind mine on my FR70. In fact I like it a lot better. Then again I have the 210 and hooking the cord up to the 210 is not exactly easy. But my ANT works fine on the FR70.
I figured I couldn't get a watch with those features at a better price point which is why I pulled the trigger on it.

+1 Thanks for the lead.
DW, a triathlete, has had one for awhile and generally likes it. I didn't need all the bells and whistles but in the absence of a better priced alternative....
And SR thought this was just gonna be a zombie thread.
As an addendum, I've had the 310 for a week now and like it so far. I'm just using it for running so I don't have any insight into its other functions. It's very similar--almost identical, really--to the 305 in the set-up, screens, etc. That makes it very easy to move over. The biggest advantages for me are:
1) the "clip" charger, which is much easier to use than the cradle. I always had to jiggle the 305 around until it got properly seated in the cradle and the slightest bump (it sits on my desk most of the time) would unseat it. Problem solved with the clip that is easy to attach and holds on firmly.
2) The wireless upload is simple and means the 310 doesn't take up a valuable USB port on the front of my overcrowded PC. (The ANT can be stuck in the back.)
3) I always lost the sound beeps on the 305 within a few weeks of purchase. I don't know if that will happen with the 310 too, but the 310 has an additional vibrate feature like that found in a cell phone. No need to glance down to see if you've hit mile X yet; it vibrates when you do. Sweet.
The only annoying thing is that when the ANT automatically kicks in, I get prompted to sign-up/log-in to the Garmin Connect (or whatever it's called) website. So every day I have to click "cancel" on that screen before it will actually upload the data . There must be a way to get rid of that damn prompt but I haven't had a chance to fully investigate it yet.
So yeah, good product so far.
I hate that clip charger thing, ha. Sooner or later you will encounter the neat "hot wire" behavior where you connect the clip just slightly womperjobbed and it turns on the unit instead of charging it.
I received mine and it had the defect where it had to have satellite reception to accurately record the date and time and the watch wouldn't remember it on its own. Not a huge deal since usually you need to have satellite to run, but if you do an indoor workout (treadmill or with speed/cadence sensor on a bike trainer) it recorded the date as 3/31/2007 which you'd then have to manually adjust in RA or Garmin Connect.
Called Garmin and they said the only fix is to replace the unit. So I sent it back to the site I got it from and the new one is supposed to arrive today. But I did take the last one on a test run and LOVED the vibration alerts instead of having to stare at the watch all the time.
Holy crap. Mine does that, and I never knew why. I also didn't care that the time was wrong, so I never tried to investigate. Ha. Very interesting.
Speaking of the vibration alerts...
1. Those are battery eaters. Not huge ones. With them on, I get 16-17 hours out of the battery. With them off, apparently one can get a bit more.
2. I have one of the original 310xts. The vibration alert on that thing is (or, rather WAS) strong and loud. Like a joy buzzer on steroids. I finally got around to upgrading the firmware a couple weeks ago, which involved applying 6-7 different firmware updates. Apparently these updates fix a bunch of stuff. Almost all of which, I can't tell. My unit still has the same quirks, including being dumb about time of day. One thing that I DID notice, however, is the super amped up buzzer is a lot milder now. Cool.
You'd think the date/time issue could be resolved by a firmware update, but apparently not.
Garmin said my new one shouldn't have the problem because only like 15% of the units are defective, but if you ask me that's a pretty high rate of failure. I have an Edge 500 for cycling and a FR70 for treadmill workouts so I would stick with those for indoors, but it will still be annoying if my new one still has the issue.

Top Games in College Football in 2010
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Here's a look at some of the top games in college football this year. As the season proceeds, some of these games may lose importance while others may jump into the picture; the Allstate Sugar Bowl will follow up with updates periodically. Due to the fact this is from the viewpoint of the Allstate Sugar Bowl, it is heavily weighted towards Southeastern Conference schools, as the SEC is our anchor league.
Sept. 2
Pittsburgh at Utah - Preseason Big East favorites taking on always tough Utes who have 19 wins against AQ-leagues since 1998. Pitt is led by sensational sophomore tailback Dion Lewis (pictured above).
Sept. 4
LSU vs. North Carolina (Atlanta) - Tar Heels' big-time defense could have them favored against traditional power LSU.
Cincinnati at Fresno State - Good test for Bearcats in first game under new head coach; Fresno star RB Ryan Mathews left for NFL.
Connecticut at Michigan - UConn looking to rise in Big East; Rodriguez needs every win possible in 2010.
TCU vs. Oregon State (Arlington) - The Beavers can bust the BCS Busters in '09 with games against TCU and Boise State.
Sept. 6
Boise State vs. Virginia Tech (Landover, Md.) - Both national title contenders; Boise is probably done with a loss.
Sept. 11
Penn State at Alabama - Paterno and Saban meet for a key non-conference battle; will this be it for Paterno?
Ole Miss at Tulane - Opportunity to see the Rebels in New Orleans; and to see what impact Jeremiah Masoli might have on the SEC.
Georgia at South Carolina - According to pundits, could be an early decision-maker for second place in SEC East.
Oregon at Tennessee - The Volunteers are the only SEC school to regularly battle the Pac-10.
Michigan at Notre Dame - Two semi-fallen legends; B. Kelly has been tasked with fixing the Irish; while Rich Rod's time may be short.
Florida State at Oklahoma - Two great QBs go at it as teams try to rise to national prominence once again.
Miami (FL) at Ohio State - Rumors of the Hurricanes return as a national power can be confirmed or denied in the Horseshoe.
New Hampshire at Pittsburgh - UNH has won four straight against FBS teams - Marshall, Northwestern, Army and Ball State.
USF at Florida - Bulls knocked off Florida State in 2009; adding Florida to list would very much solidify legitimacy.
Colorado at California - Buffs make their Pac-10 debut! Well, not exactly, but still a preview of the future; and Hawkins needs a win.
Sept. 18
Arkansas at Georgia - The first real test for Arkansas and Ryan Mallett; will they live up to hype? Or will Georgia be back on track?
Clemson at Auburn - Tiger vs. Tiger; another interesting non-league match-up between potential ACC/SEC contenders.
Florida at Tennessee - Derek Dooley's SEC debut may not be pretty and John Brantley is slated to make first SEC start.
Iowa at Arizona - The feel-good Hawkeyes may have hands full with Arizona and talented QB Nick Foles.
Nebraska at Washington - Huskers defense without Suh gets major test against potential NFL top pick Jake Locker and Huskies.
Texas at Texas Tech - The Big 12 debut for Tommy Tuberville; Leach's biggest win may have been over Horns in 2008.
Baylor at TCU - Robert Griffin returns from injury for Bears, but TCU's Andy Dalton has been getting Heisman whispers.
Georgia Tech at North Carolina - Vaunted option offense against vaunted defense filled with NFL-caliber players.
BYU at Florida State - BYU is under-the-radar as a BCS contender and wants revenge after Noles thumped Cougars in Provo in '09.
Houston at UCLA - If Cougars are going to play BCS Buster, they need an undefeated season with key wins - such as beating UCLA.
Sept. 23
Miami (FL) at Pittsburgh - Another tough early game for Pitt, but having it at home could spoil big season for Hurricanes.
Sept. 25
Alabama at Arkansas - Media picked Alabama as overwhelming favorite in SEC West; Arkansas could challenge though.
West Virginia at LSU - Mountaineers head south with 16 returning starters; key game for the Tigers and coach Les Miles.
Virginia Tech at Boston College - Two top ACC title contenders; Tech hopes to be perfect after tough opener with Boise State.
Oklahoma at Cincinnati - Sooners expect to be back among best; Cincy can pick up one of biggest wins ever in hometown.
Temple at Penn State - Interesting game here as Al Golden has Temple on the rise - Golden played at PSU as did four other staffers.
Oregon State at Boise State - If Broncos top Virginia Tech in opener, this is their biggest remaining challenge.
Stanford at Notre Dame - Stanford's Andrew Luck has big stage to make national name for himself in South Bend.
Oct. 2
Florida at Alabama - Expected to meet for the third straight year in SEC title tilt; round one is in Tuscaloosa.
Georgia at Colorado - Another SEC/Pac-10 match-up...well, almost Pac-10; Dawgs should win on the road.
Tennessee at LSU - Traditionally a major SEC game; interesting that it may not factor in league race based on preseason predictions.
Penn State at Iowa - Major showdown in Big Ten; can Iowa do it again or will the Lions get revenge?
Texas at Oklahoma (Dallas) - The annual Red River Rivalry should be as heated as ever.
Miami at Clemson - Clemson surprised with Atlantic title in 09; thrilling OT victory at Miami was a key springboard for success.
Notre Dame at Boston College - If Irish struggle again, game loses luster, but BC will be strong in ACC this year.
Stanford at Oregon - Cardinal shocked No. 8 Ducks last year; this one's in Eugene and Toby Gerhart is gone.
Washington at USC - Former Pete Carroll assistants meet as Lane Kiffin hosts Steve Sarkisian.
Oct. 9
Texas A&M vs. Arkansas (Dallas) - Southwest Classic and both teams have big-time quarterbacks and BCS aspirations.
Mississippi State at Houston - Houston will be making another run at perfect season; can Keenum and Co., upend Bulldogs again?
Florida State at Miami - When ACC expanded, these two were supposed to rule; many finally have this game as preview of ACC tilt.
Clemson at North Carolina - Game could have huge implications depending on early results - or it may be a minor skirmish.
Pittsburgh at Notre Dame - If Pitt stays undefeated through this game, it should be Top 10; if ND is perfect, it will be Top 10.
Michigan State at Michigan - Spartans have two-game winning streak in series for first time since 1967.
USC at California - Golden Bears have been trying to get past Trojans for years; is this finally their time?
Oct. 16
Arkansas at Auburn - Key showdown in SEC West; if Alabama slips, one of these two could move into driver's seat.
Boston College at Florida State - Two of the most talented ACC Atlantic teams, will be a key divisional showdown.
Ohio State at Wisconsin - Badgers might have best running back in Big Ten (Clay); Buckeyes might have best QB (Pryor).
Texas at Nebraska - One of the games for which everybody in the country will be waiting; final meeting ever between the two?
BYU at TCU - Always a key MWC contest; Horned Frogs hope to be running the table again in 2010.
Oct. 23
LSU at Auburn - The SEC West could be a dogfight, for second place, if Alabama lives up to expectations.
North Carolina at Miami - Key divisional showdown; though in tight ACC races, every game can be key.
Wisconsin at Iowa - If Badgers upend Ohio State on Oct. 16, this game jumps quite a bit in relevance.
Purdue at Ohio State - Should be a stroll for Buckeyes, just like last year, when Boilermakers pulled off shocker, 26-18.
Navy vs. Notre Dame (East Rutherford) - It's not out of the question for Navy to be undefeated entering annual Notre Dame game.
Later games to be added following early results and as conference races become clearer.
Oct. 30

LeAnn Rimes to perform at March On Washington commemorative event
Listen to LeAnn Rimes on iHeartRadio
LeAnn Rimes is spending her birthday celebrating another event.
The country star, who's turning 31 today, will be on hand to help the nation commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famed "I Have A Dream" speech.
NBC Washington says Rimes is part of a lineup of performers that also includes gospel artists BeBe, Carvin, and Marvin Winans; Christian singer Natalie Grant, and surviving Peter, Paul and Mary members Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey. Peter, Paul and Mary were among those with King at the historic event back in 1963.
The ceremony will also feature an address from Georgia Representative John Lewis, who was also there with King 50 years ago.
President Obama, former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, Oprah Winfrey, and Jamie Foxx are expected to speak as well. Other slated participants include actors Forest Whitaker and Hill Harper, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Ambassador Andrew Young.

Is Diddy dating model Kate Upton?
Listen to Diddy on iHeartRadio
Diddy has been spotted smooching someone other than Cassie! The New York Daily News is reporting that Diddy is dating (or at least enjoying the company of) Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton.
The pair locked lips at Club LIV in Miami Beach just a month after the buxom blonde announced she was single.
The Sports Illustrated cover girl broke up with Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander in February but wasted no time moving on.
One onlooker said: "They were kissing, they weren't hiding it." Earlier that night, Diddy tweeted he was hosting a party: "Miami … Ain't no party like a @iamdiddy party … Meet me at Club Liv 2nite #CIROCBOYZ in the building!!!"
Upton, 20, soon joined Diddy, 43, in the VIP section where they partied together late into the night. The two reportedly met in New York on Thursday for an intimate meal at the Bowery Hotel.
Meanwhile, Cassie has been promoting her new album RockaByeBaby which will be released on Thursday, Cassie stopped by "106 & Park" during her trip to New York. The fashionista debuted the videos for her mixtape cuts "Numb" with Rick Ross and "Paradise" featuring Wiz Khalifa.

Is It Safe to Have Sex while pregnant?
Is it safe to have sex while in your 3rd trimester? Are there any contraindications when it comes to having sex while pregnant?

Hi MummyMarianne,
It is absolutely safe to have sex in your 3rd trimester, and in fact, all the way up until your water breaks.
If you are having contractions too early or threatening going into labour too early then you will want to avoid sex. The reason for this is because seminal fluid acts as a prostaglandin and can soften your cervix which can start contractions.
If you are not having any signs of contractions (other than the normal braxton hicks), and if your bag of waters is still in tact, then sex can actually be beneficial for both you and your husband.
For your husband, it will be a few weeks before he's able to have sex with you again, once baby arrives. This is because your body will need time to heal from the birth. So for him, having sex as much as possible up until birth can help satisfy his sex drive until you're able to have sex again.
For you, it can help you go into labour if you're body is ready to, and you're close or over your due date.
Warm Regards,

Seasonal Flu (Influenza)
Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. Causing mild to severe illness, about 200,000 people in the United States are hospitalized with complications due to influenza and 36,000 die from seasonal influenza. The best way to prevent the flu is to get an influenza vaccine each year.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone over six months of age get the flu vaccine. The 2012/2013 flu vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses: an H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the H1N1 virus.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Union leaders are taking a big share of the credit for helping President Barack Obama's win in Ohio.
Sixty percent of voters from union households in Ohio threw their support behind Obama while the rest of the state was split down the middle between the president and Mitt Romney.
Exit polls show Obama also got a slightly bigger share of the union vote in Ohio than he did in 2008.
Organized labor leaders say one reason union members backed Obama in big numbers is the lingering anger over a Republican-led attempt to limit collective bargaining for Ohio's public workers.
The head of the AFL-CIO says that was a wakeup call for union workers.
The president's support for the auto bailout also helped him win votes from blue-collar workers.

I just wanted to let you know that I have had eczema for 30 years and up until recently I was miserable. Then I went to my new General Practitioner and she had me take a typical blood test. It turned out my vitamin D level was really low, so she put me on a mega dose for eight weeks. After about seven weeks my skin started to clear up. So now I take 2,000 IUs of vitamin D everyday and I stay away from tomatoes and potatoes (due to food allergies). If I do these two things my skin stays perfectly clear. I'm wondering if maybe there are other people out there that are low in vitamin D. I hope this information helps someone else.

Post subject: An attempt at an offseason
Dean Pees
Explanation - This bend and not break defense is not a Ravens defense. were not the formidable Defense that we were and in a division that were in it just doesnt work.
Ron Rivera
Explanation - May not be an amazing Head Coach but i think he could be the man to bring the famous D Back to its glory days
Retired or released
Matt Birk
Ed Reed
Cary Williams
Anquan Boldin
Dannell Ellerbe
Free Agent PICK UPS
Sebastien Vollmer
Steve Smith (Rams)
Louis Delmas
ROUND 1 - Barrett Jones (6'4 - 304lbs) OG/C , Alabama
Explanation - theres no hiding the fact that birk is getting on and may likely retire end of this season, jones will be able to step in from day one and be a starter, his ability to play guard is also a huge bonus.
ROUND 2 - Kevin Minter (6'1 - 245lbs) ILB , LSU
Explanation - I personally think Minter is the ideal person to fill Rays boots. He's Instinctive and a very sound tackler that packs a punch, great against the run and effective blitzer but will need to work on his coverage skills to truly take over from ray
Margus Hunt (6'8 - 280lbs) DE , Southern Methodist
Explanation - Possibly the steal of the draft. Hunt is Exceptionally quick for a man of his size. putting him on a DLINE with Ngata would almost be cheating. you also cant have enough depth on Defensive line
Round 4 - Zeke Motta (6'2 - 215lbs) S , Notre Dame
Explanation - Productive Safety whos in my opinion is an all round safety. Good in coverage, Good in run support and mainly a great tackler. Pairing him with Pollard would leave you with to Hard hitting safety.
Round 5 - MICHAEL WILLIAMS (6'6 - 275lbs) TE , Alabama
Explanation - Typical Ozzie pick anyone?? from Alabama, imposing Tight End thats a great run blocker and decent enough hands to keep people guessing
Round 6 - Tyrann Mathieu (5'9 - 168lbs) S/CB/Returner (EX)LSU
Explanation - I will probably hear some stick for this choice but in the 6th Round the guy has huge potential aslong as he keeps his nose clean. it is a gamble granted but in my opinion a gamble worth taking.
Round 7 - Colin Klein (6'5 - 226lbs) QB , Kansas state
Explanation - He's more of a project that could be a diamond in the rough.
what do you think???

I would definitely bring Ellerbe back. He'll be cheap and at worst hes solid depth at the position.
Moving on from Boldin wouldn't be all that bad, but only if we find someone to replace him, which you didn't really address. Smith is nowhere near the player he used to be, which leaves us pretty thin at the WR position.
I can see Birk retiring, but I get the feeling he comes back for 1 more year.
Vollmer would be an excellent pick-up if NE actually lets him go, which seems unlikely. Delmas would be a nice pick-up as well.
The draft is very solid. Hunt would be great if hes on the board in the bottom of the 3rd.

I would love Mathieu but I think he's going higher than the 6th. Solid overall though.

Ron Rivera is interesting, I think that's a great option for us. Somehow we need our trademark defense back.
The mock draft looks pretty nice too. Seems like it covers our needs and with quality players. I've been on the Mathieu bandwagon so that's a great pick. Collin Klein could be a solid backup or spot starter, and I think he's capable. Barrett Jones is valuable and can play many positions. They say he "doesn't have a mean streak", but not having a mean streak doesn't mean you can't be successful. The same might be said about Matt Birk and Matt Birk has been successful. Jones has played many o-line positions well in the SEC and seems like a good prospect. Round 2 sounds nice but don't know much about him. I've liked what I heard about Margus Hunt, and then secondary/special teams and TE depth is always nice. If we draft any of these players let alone all of them, I'd be satisfied.
I didn't really agree with your free agency though. I'm hoping Ed is a career Raven, and I wouldn't like if we couldn't re sign him. Ellerbe/Williams/Boldin are quality players and would be missed. I think a veteran receiver and obviously secondary is needed, so I wonder how they handle that. Ozzie seems to shake things up every year so I won't expect anything less.

Regarding Dean Pees, I think he'll be around next season unless the defense looks appalling in the playoffs.
The Ravens have shown reluctance to cut ties with coordinators in the past, and Pees has only had one season. A season riddled with injuries to key players, which is something else that I think will work in his favour when justifying a second year.
And I think the defense has improved, since the bye week. But the one thing they need to work on is creating turnovers and getting off the field when the opposing offense is moving the chains.
I would definitely bring Ellerbe back if he's affordable, because I think he's progressed as a player in several significant ways this season. I'd definitely rather see him come back over Cary Williams.
I also don't think the Ravens need to go for a TE in the draft, unless they're thinking of getting rid of Dickson. I wouldn't complain too much if they did that, because he's been a big disappointment as far as I'm concerned.
Regarding Ed Reed, I've been having a few thoughts about letting him go as well. I hate the idea of it, of course, but sometimes the head has to outweigh the heart. He's a player entering the last year or two of his career, who has a history of being awkward when it comes to contract issues, who now has a lengthy history of playing hurt and it looks like that is starting to limit him.
I just don't know if the amount of money he'd want would be justifiable for what he'd bring to the Ravens on the field. Not when the team has such a precarious cap situation and players who need to be tied down to deals.

I like a few of your players here. Margus Hunt, I like... but there's no way he last beyond the 2nd round... No. Way. Even at his advanced age I still believe his athleticism alone will get him drafted early 2nd, late 2nd at worse. In a passing league that needs pass rushers, he's a guy that should even make some of the freaks in the draft look less freakish. It wouldn't shock me if we took the guy at the tail end of the 1st round if all of our likely targets are off the board (Jordan, Jones, Montgomery, Ansah).
In terms of the 1st round pick being Barrett Jones, I honestly think he's one of our likelier picks as well and I definitely think he will be a guy that we talk to through the draft process. Sure we just selected Gradkowski to be our backup center option, but Jones has been an All Pro at the SEC level against some of the best DL talent in nation at THREE different positions- including LT. And that's why I like him a lot. Our OL needs "something". I'm not exactly sure what it needs, but whatever it needs, I'm sure an offseason with Jones injected into the competition would provide an answer/solution. Mostly I think we need a more consistent option at LT and I believe Jones could beat out Oher at LT and be a Marshal Yanda (when he played RT) kind of presence. Consistent, but not dominant. His smarts would give us someone that can allow us to shift the line around and get the most effective unit out there. A line of Jones, KO, GG, Yanda, Oher would definitely be a ZB fit of a unit IMO with their size and athleticism and since we've taken a lot of ideas from the Texans, that unit looks like it could do similar things from a blocking scheme perspective.
EDIT: In terms of coaching. I doubt we would go with Rivera. Harbaugh, since hiring his staff has gone the line of promoting his coordinators from in-house and rolling with them. That could change obviously, but even if we part ways with Pees- which I think we should (but we likely won'r)- we already have a strong in-house candidate in Ted Monachino. He's coached Kruger into one of the most effective players you see as a pass rusher... with his history with Suggs.. the improvements to Upshaw this season... this man deserves a chance to shine. Seems to really elevate talent as a coach and I usually think that's the best indicator of how a defensive coach will transition to the next step.

Mixed feelings about Barrett Jones. Really smart player and more athletic than most people think. But I don't think he is strong enough to handle NFL nose guards.
Marcus Hunt has probably solidified himself as a top 40 pick.
Not a fan of Mathieu. He makes a lot of big plays but between those big plays all I see is an undersized nickel with average coverage skills and poor tackling. And after he made all these statements about being clean only to get pinched again makes me want nothing to do with him.
LOVE Delmas. I want him so bad if Reed doesn't come back. Definitely our type of player.
Vollmer would be an upgrade over Oher but IDK about him at LT.
Cutting Boldin IMO would be a huge mistake.

Brain Technology
Brain suspension technology was developed to deliver the utmost in efficiency on the trail. Whether it's at the front or rear of a bike's suspension, it's able to differentiate between rider input and trail bumps, ensuring that your pedaling forces aren't being wasted in compressing the suspension.
Brain Technology
When only the ultimate in suspension efficiency and control will do, nothing compares to our Brain suspension technology. Found on a myriad of our XC designs, it's been refined and tuned to perform on varying terrain for mountain biking's most demanding riders. Need proof? The Brain-equipped Epic was the first full-suspension bike to win a Cross Country World Championship. It's won several, actually, and in each of these victories, riders were propelled to victory aboard the one-of-a-kind Brain shock.
You're probably asking yourself, "what does it do?" And the simple answer is that it provides you with more speed and more control. The concept is pretty simple, but putting it into action is a different story. After all, since the advent of full-suspension mountain bikes, hardtails and full-suspension rigs have been diametrically opposed when it comes to skillsets and favoritism. With no risk of brake squat or chain growth, the former excels at pedaling speed. Conversely, the latter is dominant over rough terrain, while suffering a bit on pedaling efficiency. The Brain, however, bridges the gap between the two, with its inertia valve technology helping create the cross section of technologies. It knows the difference between rider input and terrain forces, which means that it's firm over smooth terrain to maximize efficiency and active over the rough earth for more control.
When paired with our FSR linkage system, it's the best full-suspension design in the world at eliminating power-induced movement of the rear suspension. The active and independent system remains neutral and unaffected as power is applied through the system. We use the Brain technology to stabilize the chassis from your weight transferring inputs (like aggressive pedaling), with the pedal torque induced movements being neutralized by the FSR linkage.
Since we introduced it back in 2003, our Brain shock has been refined to give riders and racers the optimized ride quality they're looking for. Director of Suspension Technology, Mike "Mick" McAndrews, thought up the original Brain shock and has been hands on every step of the way.
Mike "Mick" McAndrews
The original Brain was more of a macro-event type of damping switch. Based on trail conditions, it would go into either a bump mode or a pedaling mode and stay there for a while, resulting in some inefficient transition time. With the newer generation of Brain shocks, the system can detect micro-trail events and adjust accordingly. There has been a lot of effort the past few years on improving the Brain sensitivity and blending the flow circuits to improve the shock's first strike capability. Also, important to the XC rider, the current Brain shock uses our own micro damper design that is half the weight of the original Brain shock design.

• meliphagous •
Pronunciation: me-li-fê-gês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Honey-eating, feeding on honey or nectar, as bees and bears are meliphagous creatures.
Notes: Today's Good Word has replaced an earlier synonym, mellivorous with a spare L. The noun should be meliphagy, but this word does not seem to appear in the major dictionaries. Use it anyway if you need it. Just look out for the spelling of [f] as PH and don't confuse the ending with that in the related word sarcophagus (see Word History).
In Play: The reason we seldom hear today's rather useful word is because biologists have been hiding it from us for years and enjoying it all to themselves. We can put it to better use, though: "I don't go camping because I am so sweet and fear all the meliphagous bugs and beasts of the forest." In fact, we can use it over a far broader range of topics than do biologists: "Tommy Belcher is the most meliphagous man I know: he puts honey on his cereal, in his coffee—everywhere other people put sugar."
Word History: Today's extremely Good Word is Greek in origin, based on meli "honey" + phagein "to eat". Meli is also visible in the word referring to the honey-maker, melissa "bee", found in the English word melissophobia "fear of bees". The root of phagein "to eat" is found in many scientific terms like today's Good Word but also in sarcophagus "stone coffin" from the Greek word meaning "flesh-eating". The Greeks made their sarcophagi from limestone, which they believed ate the flesh of the dead away from the bones.

haha happy birthday to Morbid Angel, turns 30 today.
I'll never forget this. he just fought and won on a CW Nottingham show. there was this lady, right, chatting to his opponent after the show, Chas was standing right there, she was chatting to him a bit also. the lady was drunk and trying to console the losing fighter, think it was that likeable irish fighter with sideshow bob hair, can't fucking remember his name.
so she's standing there saying, 'shame you lost, you did well... and you know what, your opponent, I'm telling you, I thought he was right proper.../'
and Chas leapt in laughing and smiling - 'before you finish your sentence, that was me lolololol'
top bloke, happy birthday

We've made some minor changes to our membership terms and conditions that we want you to know about. Our terms were written when Envato first started, which is why it was time to give them a spring clean. They needed some love and attention so that they continue to reflect how the Marketplaces work. The changes aren't big and we've included all the adjustments you need to know about below. However, if you like, we encourage you to read over the terms yourself, just to refresh how they relate to you.
Changes we've made:
- 1 – We have made the language a bit clearer in parts, for example when we talk about paying out money to sellers (authors) in clause 13, we've made it more clear what happens to sums under $50, over $50 and over $500.
2 – We have tweaked a few references to bring the descriptions in the terms closer to what really happens on the site. For example, previously we talked about an "application" to become a member, that's been changed to "signing up" and "creating an account". We have removed the reference to passing a test as a requirement of becoming a seller on the marketplaces. We have confirmed that fair play applies in regard to referrals.
3 – We have clarified what you need to send to us when you want to make a claim about unauthorised use of a trademark.
4 – We have rewritten section (13) about what happens when you make a payment into your membership ledger so that you can buy products. We have also given a more detailed explanation about what happens when Envato makes payments into your membership ledger and how we pay your earnings to you. These changes were made so that section (13) is easier to understand and does not change the existing process.
5 – We have added some more guidance about refunds that addresses common questions and situations.

*Your membership ledger records payments by you to Envato (as a Buyer) and payments made by Envato to you (as a Seller or in accordance with clause (18). For more clarification on this term check out section (12).
so far I understand and really helped me as a Author to work on envato.
Happy Design
Thanks for this info
For me it was pretty straightforward from the beginning.
You authorise Envato to submit a DMCA notice to others on your behalf regarding unauthorised use or copies of your Products made elsewhere (without obligation and at Envato's sole discretion).
I just want to know if this is only for stolen works on envato's marketplaces, when one author upload an item from other author, or envato will send dmca notice to other sites (file hosting and warez sites) where people are sharing our items for free (or for sale)?
And why "without obligation and at Envato's sole discretion"? If envato don't want to do that, will be fair to inform author if they don't want to send dmca notice.
Authors can send dmca notices that's true, and it works sometimes, but what if my item is in pack of 20 items? And what if warez sites are sharing whole bundle in one file? I'm afraid that in that case only envato can do something and to protect authors.
Sorry if I'm wrong. Just thinking out loud.
Thanks for this info It's Very Useful
Hi Dorde, Thanks for your question. I'll make sure our team get back to you asap about the specifics as this situation can be complicated. Thanks!

Book Shopping with the Best-Read Man in AmericaBy John Lingan
We're out this week, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2012 while we're away. We hope you enjoy—and have a happy New Year!
I was dragging my five-year-old daughter through the musty stacks of my favorite used bookstore last spring when a middle-aged man, squatting in the Sci-Fi section next to a brimming cardboard box, caught my eye and reminded me of someone.
"Excuse me," I asked, "are you a writer?"
"I am," he said, standing up and straightening his glasses. His eyes were deep set and hard to read. He was bashful.
"Are you Michael Dirda?" I asked.
"I am."
It was him: the book critic and author, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, known apocryphally as the best-read man in America, whose essays had enticed me to read everything from Little, Big to Three Men in a Boat—and here he was, squinting his way through the lowest shelves in the same crusty bargain dungeon I came to all the time.
"Amazing. Nina, this is the man who wrote that little letter that we have in your George and Martha," I told my daughter. Nina was nonplussed.
"When I was eight, in 1992," I explained, "I wrote a letter to the Washington Post when James Marshall died and you printed it in the Book World section and even wrote a sweet little response. And her grandpa put a photocopy of that letter in The Complete George and Martha for her."

Weather could present a challenge to law enforcement combing the San Bernardino Mountains in search of Christoper Dorner today.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service have issued a winter storm warning, saying as much as 10 inches of snow could fall at elevations higher than 6,000 feet.
Light snow had already been reported shortly before 3 a.m. at Big Bear City Airport and temperatures were in the mid 20s. High winds were expected as well, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
The storm warning is in effect until 10 p.m. tonight.

While pursuing his doctorate at Columbia University Teacher's College, Roger Keller, AIA, focused on the influence that the architecture of award-winning schools has on student achievement. Keller's interest in the impact of architecture on communities blossomed from there. Since 2008, he has served as town supervisor of Bridgeton Township, Pa.—a role, he says, where "my architecture training has been useful within the general nature of moving people towards a common goal."
School spaces have a huge effect on kids. School is a kind of home in which all of their growth—emotional, physical, and intellectual—plays out. It's a social place, it's a place of learning, and it needs to feel like a home environment. But drawing a line between pedagogy and design is a complicated thing: How does one organize space to support curricular standards? My research focused on schools that trended toward the progressive house-plan organization, where larger schools are broken down into smaller learning communities that foster an interdisciplinary understanding of course material. The house-plan design has been prevalent in middle-school education for some time, and it allows for spontaneous learning, small group interactions, and a variety of teaching opportunities. In design, learning stairs, window alcove seating, and glass walls not only allow visual communication within learning spaces, but also assist with wayfinding. However, these same areas where students gather—often without adult supervision—also pose security concerns, as do spaces that look out onto a vista from which a person on the outside has a straight visual line to the interior of a school. Security has to be part of the conversation early on, along with pedagogy. But I hope that the open-school concept can find a way forward.
In my research, I looked at how students performed on state exams and balanced that against the design intentions. Causality is very hard to prove, but you can at least say that there's a relationship between design and achievement. From the qualitative side of the study, the positive energy in the award-winning schools was hard to ignore. Students, teachers, administrators, and even township officials spoke animatedly about their schools—underscoring the positive connection between the community stakeholders and the architects as design leaders, rather than design accommodators. The question of what a school should be like has to be one that the architect and the community explores together.
I have always been interested in this idea of educating the public about the value that quality architecture brings to a community and to our everyday lives. What I've tried to do in my work as an architect, teacher, and now head of a town is to find out what makes a community work, and do my best to help that along. -As told to William Richards

innovate clutter reduction device
By PG
from Warsaw VA
I have been looking for a docking station for our cell phones for 2 reasons. One central docking station is so much neater and than having phones lying around to be charged. Also, it is so much easier to drop the phones in a docking station than plugging each one in their tiny chargers! Thank you for thinking of this innovative concept!

The charger adapters are too short for use with otter box iPad or cell phone cases.Returned as I have these cases on my phone and tablet.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. It is possible that certain cases may need to be removed to allow proper fit with this unit.

About Me Power User
Gave this as gift for my daughter's family. By the time the kids come home from school and her husband gets home from work, she has no more room for her own. The interchangeable adapters are easy to use for every device and all in one place. No longer have to look for outlets all over the house.
Very nice, useful product
By erp84

Much easier to use than individual cables and looks much better on my desk.
Great Charging Dock
By Sheila
from Chicago, IL
This is a great charging unit. Small and easily adaptable to whatever electronic devices you need to charge. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because my husband can't charge his I-phone while it is in the Otter case using the adapters. However, he worked around this by using the USB plug on the side of the unit. I would definitely recommend this charger.

We use this for all our diverse devices, from Android phone to iPhone, Kindle, etc. Charges faster than using product provided cable. Only product I've found that has it's own power source instead of just organizing the cords of the existing devices. I've put all my cords away. So easy to pop in and out different device charging plugs. You may have some difficulty if the case on your phone is large, but I have a rubber case on my Android and never have to remove it. My husband has a hard case on his iPhone, so it won't get past the case to fully insert into the charging plug. But rather than bother taking the case off, he just plugs in the charger cord to the USB port on the side.

Did a Taylor Swift parody video help pass the Violence Against Women Act?
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
After weeks of grousing, the House of Representatives is about to renew an expanded version of the Violence Against Women Act, bringing an end to a stalemate over domestic violence that's held Congress in more than its usual level o partisan gridlock for weeks. What changed? Well, we can't say for sure, but we're pretty sure it has something to do with this Taylor Swift parody video the Ms. Foundation released this week.
Set to Swift's "22," the video targets the 22 senators—all men—who voted against renewing a new version VAWA that expands protections for Native Americans and the LGBT community. The bill passed the Senate without them, but met resistance from the Republican-controlled House, which wanted to pass a narrower version of the law. Their efforts crumbled though, quickly after this video was released. Watch below:

No Trip to NC, instead HI
You'd think playing baseball down south would be great this time of year, because, look outside, you can't play it here.
But the UAlbany Great Danes' baseball season won't start this weekend in Cary, N.C. due to inclement weather. They were originally scheduled to open the 2014 season at the USA Baseball Complex against Canisius on Friday, and face Saint Joseph's, Butler, and Monmouth on Saturday and Sunday. However, snow has forced the trip to be cancelled.
Instead, UAlbany will now kickoff the season in Honolulu, Hawaii next Thursday, playing a four-game series against the Rainbow Warriors Feb. 20-23.
