Which member of Orioles' cavalry would you trade?
By Dan Connolly and The Baltimore Sun
November 25, 2012
By this time next week, Ed Encina and I will be knee-deep in Winter Meetings muck, trying to decipher what's actually going on in the lobbies, bars and meeting rooms in Nashville. So I figured I'd open up the bar today and crank up the hot stove. As our columnist Peter Schmuck wrote Sunday , it wouldn't be a surprise if Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette dangles one of the club's young starters in an attempt to land a position player with upside - someone who can play left field, first base or DH. Given what the Orioles have, and the hype that has surrounded them, you'd think Jake Arrieta, Zach Britton, Brian Matusz and Chris Tillman all maintain some value on the open market.

With no cavalry on way to save O's, fans can retreat
By David Steele
August 1, 2005
PAT RILEY used to tell his players every season, on the day the trade deadline passed, that they could stop waiting for help to arrive and start playing basketball again. "The cavalry isn't coming over the hill to save us," he'd say. Long before the first pitch at Camden Yards last night, Jim Beattie and Mike Flanagan told the cavalry to stay home -- and, in effect, told the Orioles that they were now on their own. That's not a terrible position to be in, Beattie said yesterday afternoon, offering a few reasons that didn't sound completely implausible.
100 Years Ago: Dawn of the automobile age put animals used for transportation on the market
By Louise Vest
October 5, 2011
100 Years Ago More horse power "Horses, Mares, Mules; Sold for Want of Use" was the headline of an ad in the Times : " 10 Mares, 15 Horses, 2 Mares in foal, 5 Top Wagons, 2 Trucks, lot of harnesses will be sold regardless of cost. 20 Days guarantee with each animal. Used by Chesapeake Oyster & Fish. Co., during the past season. apply at Stables 205 S. Paca St. Baltimore, Md. " Guess the auto was taking the animals' jobs and they were hoping to sell in rural Howard County, where original horse power was still in use. 75 Years Ago Rale against traffic More parking in downtown Ellicott City was the focus of an article in the Times that week: "Two Frame Buildings At Depot Yard To Be Razed In Near Future; Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Gives Thirty Days To Tenants - Parking Problem Of Town Will Be Aided By Improvement The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has given notice to the two one-story frame buildings on Main Street at the Depot Yard in Ellicott City to vacate the premises within thirty days.
Cavalry clashed behind Cemetery Ridge
By Michael Hilt and Michael Hilt,SUN STAFF
June 27, 2004
"My advance reached Gettysburg July 2, just in time to thwart a move of the enemy's cavalry upon our rear by way of Hunterstown after a fierce engagement, in which [Brig. Gen. Wade] Hampton's brigade performed gallant service, a series of charges compelling the enemy to leave the field and abandon his purpose. I took my position that day on the York and Heidlersburg roads, on the left wing of the Army of Northern Virginia," stated Maj. Gen. James Ewell Brown (J.E.B.) Stuart in his official report of the battle of Gettysburg.
South gains advantage at outset
By Devon Fink and Devon Fink,SUN STAFF
May 9, 2004
On May 8, 1864, Maj. Gen. Franz Sigel, commander of the Union army in the northern Shenandoah Valley, sent out two strong cavalry patrols under Col. Jacob Higgins and Col. William H. Boyd from his base near Middletown, Va., to reconnoiter the approaches to New Market, Va., in preparation for his advance against the Confederates in that area. The Confederates soon learned of the patrols and took steps to foil them, helping to set the stage for the Union defeat at New Market on May 15. Brig.
Custer made mark in battle
By Kaylin Rocco and Kaylin Rocco,SUN STAFF
June 26, 2005
Gettysburg was a classic infantry battle, but it also had a cavalry component, and one of the most famous units was Brig. Gen. George Armstrong Custer's Wolverines, composed of the 1st, 5th, 6th and 7th Michigan Cavalry regiments. Gen. Robert E. Lee, determined to break the Union center, sent Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and his cavalry about three miles east of Gettysburg around to the Union right on the third day of the battle. Their instructions were to get into the Union rear, to break through, and to get into the pack trains and artillery reserves, according to Col. Edwin E. Bryant in "The Battle of Gettysburg," a paper that he presented on Oct. 4, 1893.
South's cavalry foiled east of Cemetery Ridge
By Jennifer Pesonen and Jennifer Pesonen,SUN STAFF
August 3, 2003
It is usually believed that cavalry played a very minor role in the Gettysburg campaign, but nothing could be further from the truth. According to Edward G. Longacre's book The Cavalry at Gettysburg, published in 1986, the brigades led by Confederate Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and those of the Union's Brig. Gen. David McMurtie Gregg would take part in "one of the largest and most influential mounted battles ever waged in the Western Hemisphere." In the early morning of July 3, Stuart and Gregg eased their men into position.

By Frederick N. Rasmussen, The Baltimore Sun
April 1, 2011
Mark C. Harrison, a noted Maryland breeder and trainer of Saddlebred and Tennessee walking horses, died Sunday of heart failure at Thomas Run Stables, his Bel Air farm. He was 87. Mr. Harrison, who was born into a family of Saddlebred owners in Montoursville, Pa., was raised on a horse farm. "His earliest memories of riding are leadline classes on his father's Saddlebreds, and he continued to show through his early years in the youth classes," according to a 2009 profile in The Equiery, a monthly information and advertising publication for Maryland horsemen.
Baltimore County honors soldiers on eve of Veterans Day

In the crowd gathered Wednesday in Towson's Patriot Plaza on the eve of Veterans Day, a retired Army sergeant stood proudly at attention, during the presentation of colors, the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance. Gordon Pinkney, whose 34 years of service include combat tours in Vietnam and Iraq, wore a cap that said "Buffalo Soldiers. " On it was a patch that depicted a cavalry man and read, "We can we will. " "Ceremonies like this show you all care," Pinkney said. "That is all any soldier wants to hear.
Ride for O's 'Cavalry' has been bumpy
By Jeff Zrebiec, The Baltimore Sun
June 21, 2010
The Cavalry, the nickname former manager Dave Trembley gave to the organization's group of starting pitching prospects, has pretty much arrived, though not all its members have moved forward during the Orioles' brutal 2010 season. Brad Bergesen, a 24-year-old right-hander who was the Orioles' best pitcher last year, was sent back to Triple-A Norfolk with a 6.50 ERA. Chris Tillman, a 22-year-old considered one of baseball's top pitching prospects not long ago, could be joining the Tides shortly after he produced an 8.40 ERA in four starts with the Orioles.

Motor in the hoofprints of history

Carroll County was a crossroads for both Union and Confederate troops en route to Gettysburg, where about 50,000 of them became casualties. To help mark that pivotal battle, Carroll County historians and tourism officials have set up a self-guided driving tour called "Roads to Gettysburg." The tour allows Civil War buffs to re-create the movements and events that made Carroll County a key location in the days before the battle. "A small but extremely important cavalry skirmish took place in Westminster on June 29, 1863," according to the Carroll County Visitor Center.
Scientists help plants call in the cavalry
September 30, 2005
Scientists have shown they can enhance a plant's ability to signal for help when threatened by pests. Plants constantly send signals that attract their pests' predators, a little-known tactic intended to improve the plants' survival. For example, when potatoes, lima beans, cotton and dozens of other plants are damaged or under attack, they produce complex organic compounds known as terpenoids. The compounds attract predatory mites, parasitic wasps, spiders and aphids. Researchers call the predators "bodyguards."
Early's Defeat in the Valley.
October 6, 2002
[From the Richmond Enquirer] What humiliation has attended our cause in that Valley made gloriously historical by the lamented Jackson! From Lynchburg to Harper's Ferry, from the Ridge to the Alleghanies, where victory, and honor and glory once shed their charming blessings over our cause, there now hangs the gloomy cloud of defeat, disgrace and demoralization. It is often said, with a sigh, "The news from the Valley is not so bad as we expected." What was expected that could have been worse than the shameful defeat into which a victory was turned, not by the generalship of Sheridan, not by the valor of his infantry, not by the charge of his cavalry, but by the unaccountable but not less shameful and disgraceful panic of our own troops.
May 8, 2004
Abe Caylor, 104, an Army cavalry soldier during World War I and one of the nation's oldest military veterans, died Wednesday in Orting, Wash., relatives said. Enjoying the attention in his final years but tired of being asked his secret to growing old, Mr. Caylor once replied, "Work hard and mind your own damn business." On his 100th birthday, his photograph was shown on national television and he received a congratulatory telephone call from the White House. The next spring he was honored at a concert and Memorial Day ceremonies on the Capitol lawn.

Rosser made his headquarters at the home of John Brook Boyle. The cavalry stayed only one night.

Back on May 9th, I posted part one of my "Write This Down!" series – really just a running list of helpful sayings and ideas that I share with sellers in my workshops. Today we add to the list. Enjoy and share.
The Opposite of yes isn't no. The opposite of yes is anything other than yes. Most sellers don't get this fact. They hear "we're waiting on our budget" or "we have a couple more proposals to look at" and they stop selling. They don't see these as the objections or brushoffs that they are and fail to qualify them further. Hence all the ambivalence and murkiness in your pipeline.
The opposite of selling isn't not selling. It's describing. This idea prompted the biggest response I've ever gotten to The Drift. Somewhere along the line we lost the connection between sales and actually selling stuff. The goal is to persuade and change the outcome. But sellers and those who support them seem completely focused on just endlessly describing stuff.
Don't take no from someone who can't also tell you yes. This ancient gem still shines. It's particularly poignant in our industry because of all the lower-level gatekeepers whose main purpose seems to be role-preservation. Sellers either don't know these bureaucrats can't green-light projects or are just too frightened of 'getting in trouble' to push any boundaries.
Promotional Message: If you could tell five thousand digital sales leaders and sellers about your product or service each week in a focused, exclusive environment, would you do it? Digital sellers have been anticipating, reading and sharing The Drift for more than 15 years. A provocative, POV-driven read, it's also a great vehicle for our underwriting sponsors. We're taking reservations for the second half of 2017, so if you're interested please contact Tamara Clarke to plan your campaign today.
Big decision makers want to make big decisions. I like to talk to sales teams about the client's floor of consideration. We think that by keeping the price minuscule and reassuring everyone that it's just a test we are making the customer more likely to act. But serious executives don't want to take political and business risks to spend $50-100K. Risk aversion only works with those who probably don't want to buy from you anyway.
Work backward from the cost of the unsolved problem. The core of the media sale is to stack up enough units of value – pre-rolls, banners, videos, full page takeovers, impressions, etc. – to justify a price tag. But it's not about that anymore. As I like to say, if you want to make a million dollars, go find a $20 million problem to solve. One of the crippling limitations of media thinking is that we never stop to consider what the unsolved problem – or the unrealized opportunity – is really worth.
Stop negotiating against yourself. Speaking of crippling downsides… Experience is a great teacher in our business. Unfortunately it tends to teach limitations. Show me 10 "experienced digital sellers" and I'll bet you that eight of them know exactly why every new idea won't work….why the customer won't pay that price….and why there's really, actually no way out.
Don't sell or manage to what's in the other person's head. Managers and sellers alike seem fixated on changing belief and getting others fully on board. We talk of evangelism and winning others over. But this just leads to endless cycles of guessing. Instead, focus on discrete behaviors. A client either agrees to recommend (that's a verb) a buy or not; a seller either books a call, or doesn't. The sooner you focus on the actions of others the sooner you'll be fully in touch with reality – and empowered to start changing it.

After she slides her shoes off, Jade oils up her peds to rub them all over your cock. You fuck her sweet pussy, and those beautiful eyes look straight at you when she sucks your cock. Jade must think you're really special because she lets you fuck her tight ass. That was so fun, and watching the creampie ooze out of her pussy is rewarding.

Precedents and Case-Based Reasoning in the European Court of Justice
Past cases are the European Court of Justice's most prominent tool in making and justifying the rulings and decisions which affect the everyday lives of more than half a billion people. Marc Jacob's detailed analysis of the use of precedents and case-based reasoning in the Court uses methods such as doctrinal scholarship, empirical research, institutional analysis, comparative law and legal theory in order to unravel and critique the how and why of the Court's precedent technique. In doing so, he moves the wider debate beyond received 'common law' versus 'civil law' figments and 'Eurosceptic' versus 'Euromantic' battle lines, and also provides a useful blueprint for assessing and comparing the case law practices of other dispute resolution bodies.

Just gotta share a few things about personal "stuff" that you really have to experience to fully understand. If you're a diehard out-in-the-woods tent camper, you have some of this perspective. But that's not been my experience and these things made me laugh as I tried to figure out exactly how to do things this way.
First - Western toilets may or may not be available wherever you go in India. The "normal" here is a squat version of the toilet. Hmmm. And if you want to be sure that you have toilet paper, you need to take it with you!
Second - The electricity goes out here just about every day. It may be out for a few minutes, an hour, or three hours. One just goes with the flow, sweats a little more, and sooner or later it comes back on.
Third - Bucket showers are a quick way to refresh. Since there's not great water pressure in the regular shower, it actually is better in some ways. Difficult to actually wash your hair, though. I'd have to practice to get that down pat. Oh, and have you ever used a squeegee to push the water off of the floor and into a little hole in the wall (at floor level)?
Fourth - I really don't like bugs in my living space. Outside, yes. Little ants crawling in my suitcase, on the sink, in the shower/toilet area, not so much. I happened to see spray to ward off bedbugs in Bed, Bath, & Beyond before I left home so I bought it. I'm SO glad. Don't know if there were any bedbugs but if so, they were held at bay and the spray kept the ants under control, too.
Last item - The smell of raw sewage in the street is not my favorite. Makes the smell of manure sprayed on the fields at home seem not so bad. At least the fields are sprayed only occasionally so you don't have to smell it every day.
Ah, India. I realize that I've just gotten a little glimpse of life here. Just a snapshot. There is a wealthier India, a cleaner one, and maybe a less chaotic one. But the wealthier people that drive to Park Street to eat at Fire and Ice and Flurry's and shop in the expensive stores still have to go through much of the city, if not the poorest parts. What I have seen is real life for millions of people in Kolkata -- a hard, dirty, poor life. And I haven't even mentioned the corruption of government, police, etc.
I so appreciate my own family, my own home, my own little community, and life in the US.

Capability Incorporates User and Application Information Into Automated Firewall Policy Audits
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2011) - Skybox Security, the leader in proactive security risk management, today announced upcoming support for Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. This capability, contained in the next release of Skybox Firewall Assurance scheduled for April, will enable customers to automatically and consistently audit and manage firewall infrastructures that contain next-generation Palo Alto Networks firewalls.
"Our customers are actively evaluating next-generation firewalls such as those from Palo Alto Networks," explained RJ Dobbins, Strategic Account Manager at Secure Data Solutions, a Skybox VAR with a strong customer base in the energy sector. "We're excited that the coming release of Skybox Firewall Assurance will help them manage multiple types of firewalls simultaneously, paving the way for fast migration to next-gen firewalls."
Skybox Security support goes beyond simply treating next-generation firewalls as yet another network firewall. Skybox solutions incorporate information on users and applications, newly available in access control lists, into its network model and analytics. This capability gives customers a means to understand the effectiveness of the network security controls, including next-generation firewalls, in protecting the critical applications against cyber threats or misuse. Customers will be able to create security policies that contain granular user and application information, check firewall rulesets against these policies, track changes, and check platform configurations through Skybox Firewall Assurance.
"We are very pleased to be able to support our customers who are deploying Palo Alto Network firewalls as well as those who are evaluating the firewalls in their labs," explained Gidi Cohen, CEO of Skybox Security. "This announcement is also extremely important for our joint distributors and partners, who are showing strong interest from their customer base."
Key features in the upcoming release include expanded compliance analysis capabilities for checking best practices for access lists incorporating user and application information. The Skybox change tracking capability will enable Palo Alto Network customers to view changes in the configurations over time. Plus, customers using Skybox Network Assurance will be able to incorporate Palo Alto Networks firewalls in a comprehensive network map to troubleshoot access and connectivity issues between firewalls, routers, load balancers and other network devices.
"We're very glad to see that companies like Skybox are going to extend their firewall auditing and analysis capabilities to really take advantage of next-gen firewalls," said Punit Minocha, VP Business Development at Palo Alto Networks. "This is a big step forward for customers and will help them accelerate their migration plans while integrating next-gen firewalls into their existing environments."

Sources: Jagr wants to play for Penguins
One of Pittsburgh's greatest athletes wants to return.
Jaromir Jagr has approached the Penguins about resuming his hockey career with his original NHL franchise, multiple sources confirmed to the Tribune-Review on Monday.
Jagr's new agent, former player Petr Svoboda, contacted Penguins general manager Ray Shero over the weekend to express his client's intent to play again in the NHL after a three-year stint in the Kontinental Hockey League.
Shero didn't return messages seeking comment about Jagr, who can sign before the July 1 free-agent period opens because his previous contract was not with an NHL club.
Jagr, 39, met with Svoboda yesterday in the Czech Republic to consider preferred NHL suitors, including the Detroit Red Wings -- the Penguins' Stanley Cup Final rival in 2008 and '09.
Jagr has cited Detroit, the New York Rangers, Washington Capitals, Montreal Canadiens and Penguins as NHL teams that piqued his interest.
An NHL source said neither the Canadiens and Capitals is a "mystery" third team that has joined the Red Wings and Penguins as a potential Jagr suitor.
Shero and his staff were open to the idea of signing Jagr, two sources said, but the Penguins were waiting to hear from Jagr before seriously exploring the option.
The Penguins have decided not to publicly comment about any interest in Jagr, who is ninth all-time in NHL scoring with 1,599 points and nearly a point-per-game player in three KHL seasons.
At the world championships in May, Shero extended Jagr an invitation to the Penguins' annual summer golf tournament that will serve as a reunion for alumni of the 1991 Stanley Cup champions. Shero said that invitation was passed along to Jagr by his Czech Republic teammate Zbynek Michalek, a Penguins defenseman.
Jagr has not informed the Penguins if he will attend the tournament, a date for which has not been announced.
Also at the world championships, Jagr reflected fondly on his 11 seasons with the Penguins -- a tenure that began with back-to-back Stanley Cup titles in 1991 and '92, and also included five NHL scoring championships and an MVP award.
Previously one of the most popular athletes in Pittsburgh history, Jagr was booed mercilessly by Penguins fans after the team granted his request for a trade in July 2001. His last NHL contest was at Mellon Arena in May 2008 in Game 5 of a second-round playoff series between his Rangers and the Penguins.
Before the start of that series, Jagr spoke reverently of Mario Lemieux, calling the Penguins majority co-owner "my idol ... and probably the greatest player ever."
Jagr expressed similar thoughts at the world championships and hinted strongly that he wouldn't mind playing with "two great centers" in Pittsburgh - referring to Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
The Penguins can afford Jagr, who sources said is not seeking an outrageous salary. The salary cap for next season will increase to $64 million from $59.4 million, Canada's TSN reported Sunday.
The Penguins are committed to $55.5 million against the cap for 17 players on guaranteed NHL contracts -- eight forwards, seven defensemen and two goalies.
They do not have a top-six natural right winger under contract, and Tyler Kennedy is an impending restricted free agent with whom Shero said the team is exploring all options - including a possible trade, perhaps at the NHL Entry Draft this weekend.
Shero said last week his intention is "to keep" Kennedy, coming off a career-best 21 goals and 45 points. The Penguins expect Kennedy to command at least double his $725,000 cap hit on a new contract or in an arbitration ruling if they elect to extend a qualifying offer.
There is debate within the organization if Kennedy is a capable of handling top power-play minutes. Jagr would -- potentially becoming the ideal fit along the half-wall where the Penguins believe neither Crosby nor Malkin are an ideal fit on the man-advantage.

Lately I've felt drawn to contemplate Fulla. ("Fulla, whose name means 'Fullness," "Bounty" or "Plenty." Fulla is most often described as a handmaiden, possibly sister of the Goddess Frigga. According to the Edda, as Frigga's Handmaiden, Fulla is entrusted with carrying her casket, looking after Her shoes, and being privy to Her secrets.…Fulla might have been viewed as a Goddess of abundance, wealth, prosperity, harvest, and maybe even household management.the gold band Fulla wears round her forehead symbolizes nobility and Her unbound hair indicates Her unmarried status. (Karlsdottir, p. 133). She also speculates that like Sif, Fulla's long and flowing hair can be viewed as being symbolic of the ripening grain, which would tie nicely into Her role as Habondia, Goddess of the earth's bounty." From: http://krasskova.weebly.com/1/post/2010/11/decembers-deity-of-the-month-fulla-keeper-of-friggas-treasures.html)
The more I think about this quiet goddess, the more she seems to be the matriarchal, powerful version of Rapunzel, before patriarchy decided she needed a prince to save her:
-Firstly, both ladies are recognizable by their long, flowing hair. This is not as superficial as it might sound as in both cases this hair is a link to the earth, to welcome (through bringing people inside the tower or through working together to bring in the harvest and/or sharing the plenty you have), and to abundant growth. The difference is that Fulla's abundance feels free and natural, and belongs wholly to herself, whereas Rapunzel is depicted as needing her plentiful hair for protection and escape, as a conduit to external power. The symbol's basically the same, the difference is that one lady is powerful and the other is victimized.
-Secondly, both Fulla and Rapunzel are linked to the earth-Fulla through portraying wheat and nature's bounty, and Rapunzel through her mother's need for rampion plants. Even in this backstory, Fulla brings out the positive and best in nature, symbolizing control and Rapunzel's life is worsened and controlled by her link to nature. Yet, both ladies symbolize the fruits of a harvest, their beauty reflects the generous and good parts of nature, and they remind us that all life should be connected to the earth. One lady is simply denied her authority and agency in portraying this legacy.
-Thirdly, Fulla's duties center around the space and belongings of her sister Frigga. Her duties to guard Frigga's casket and slippers would dictate that Fulla spend much of her time in Frigga's apartments. This echoes the relationship of Rapunzel and the witch: she must stay inside a space belonging to the more powerful woman, who has at least an adopted family kinship with the long-haired maiden. Once again, the similarities are striking but the role of power is completely switched. Fulla's position as right-hand lady to Frigga granted her great power and knowledge. Fulla's ability to keep secrets and be trusted with important messages is a testament to the wealth of reliance and ability attributed to this goddess. Most importantly, Fulla keeps by her sister's things in order to protect them, to support her sister in her power and therefore claim recognition for being partly the source of the abilities of the mistress of Asgard. It is Fulla in the proactive role, using her agency, and creating even the power technically outside of her and belonging to her sister.
Rapunzel, on the other hand, is shown to be kept within the witch's confines for her own protection, rather than in order to protect her tower. Even the versions that show the witch as gaining power from Rapunzel in some form deny Rapunzel agency or power in that dynamic. So long as the witch is there, Rapunzel cannot have power-she needs to overthrow this other woman. In Asgard, women knew how to work together to share and build power. Rapunzel's story undermines this by denying non-absolute views of authority-it must be oppressor and oppressed. Moreover, the ability of the maiden to offer protection and plenty is completely reversed. Rapunzel's tower has become a symbol of denial, rather than a bastion symbolizing her strength and guarding ability.
-Fourthly and most basically, Fulla the maiden goddess owns her own golden band of nobility. She needs no prince to ennoble or enrich her, just as she needs no prince to rescue or act for her. Just because this archetype has been carried off and subjected to male dominance does not mean we need to forget her calm power, reassuring protection, or empowering support.
All hail Fulla.

I personally don't care about whether the songs were composed in minutes or months. All I want is they should appeal to me and for the past two decades, only Thalaivar songs have done that.
And being a Rahman fan, I started loving the wait. Before the internet era, I have seen queues outside cassette shops when a Rahman album releases. And that was not in Chennai or Bangalore but a glorified rural area called Nagercoil. Many ARR fans like me (Siv.S, LM1982 to name a few from hub) don't come from a city background. But we love ARR more than any other MD. Wish the kumudham guy had met us before interviewing ARR.
I wonder if this era of digital downloads have taken all the fun.

I edited my previous post to make the message more clear. Rahman fans really dont care about the long time it takes for Rahman to compose. But, his detractors have for long alleged it as some sort of weakness. I hope they realize that it is simply his working style and it doesn't actually take too long for him to come up with a tune and the arrangement. He chooses to work on it more because he wants every song to be special.
A director who had the privilege to work with ARR said the rough track will undergo plenty of additions over the months and the final output will be in a different plane altogether. The leaked version of Hosanna will give a fair idea on this.

I'm not an IR fan and have nothing against him either, but a friend of mine had posted on FB, pictures of herself at the concert. She said it was good, but would have been better if IR showed up. Any truth to this?
