4 wins and they're IN!

The Redskins rallied behind undrafted rookie Stephen Heyer as a replacement when Tackle Jon Jansen went down in week 1
with a broken right ankle. Heyer went up against Jason Taylor of the Miami Dolphins, and had an amazing NFL debut.

The Redskins rallied behind Jason Fabini in week 3 while replacing Guard Randy Thomas. Thomas was placed on IR several weeks later with torn triceps.

5 Weeks ago the Redskins lost a special member of its family. Sean Taylor was murdered in his Miami home while protecting his girlfriend and 18 month old baby from 4 armed intruders.

4 days after Sean Taylor was laid to rest the Redskins played the Chicago Bears on a Thursday night game. The Redskins rallied behind Safety Reed Doughty in filling in for their missing teammate #21 Sean Taylor.

During that Thursday night game against the Chicago Bears the Redskins starting Quarterback Jason Campbell was sacked and lost for the year due to a broken kneecap. The Redskins rallied behind 12 year Veteran Quarterback Todd Collins, not only to lead the team into the Playoffs with 4 strait
victories, but by winning each of those games by 10 or more points.

Yesterday's game against the Dallas Cowboys was priceless. To see all the Cowboys playing their starters for 3 + quarters and still losing to a score of 27-6. That's a 21 point victory. 21 was Taylor's jersey number

The Redskins sealed their spot as the 6Th seed Wildcard in the 2007 NFC Playoffs.

Will there be many more chapters for this season?

Next stop Seattle.

Wish You Were Here

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,
you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter,
you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
and sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Like Father, Like Daughter

It's sad enough this scrap of a talent is squelching to any fan base, but to go further and to
steal from their fan base (5yr.old kids) is beyond pathetic.

Soon you will become as obsolete as your father and the NKOTB.

Smith said people online have offered him tickets starting at $1,000. "People are selling tickets for $3,000, $4,000, $5,000. I can't afford that . . . I would pay $100, maybe $150 per ticket. I need three tickets. I can't pay more than that."

Bush and Musharraf swinging in a tree ... K-I-S-S-I-N-G

And you wonder why the rest of the world rolls its eyes when King George screams "DEMOCRACY" and "FREEDOM" while pointing fingers at leaders such as Castro and Chavez.

The Boy King again shows us his weakness while sitting on his hands. Hopefully in 2008 this country can elect a competent President who will then appoint a competent Secretary Of State with a competent foreign policy.

Redskins Season Over

Last weekends game vs the Eagles was undoubtedly the nail on the coffin. This season is officially over...

I'm one of the few fans that would still like to see Gibbs back for another year, but if the FO uses the same approach then the Redskins will be doomed to repeat its failures of past.

A change is needed and it starts at the top. Hire a GM and get something DONE!

This is the first season I can actually agree that College Football is more exciting than the NFL.

G1G1 XO

The G1G1 XO Project started 6am Monday. I placed my order @ 8:30am and really excited to be a participant. This not only bridges the gap for poor children to be able to access instant information, but gives a person like me a way to help those less fortunate than myself.

I'll post some goodies when my XO arrives. Hopefully before the holidays!!

onward...

ROSS MACKENZIE IS AN IDIOT

Ross is the retired editor of the Editorial page at the Times-Dispatch, yet he still writes Conservative propaganda for the paper.

The Op/Ed section of the Times-Dispatch Sunday paper has always been troublesome to read. Its not just the words that trouble me, its the level of ignorance shown by my fellow statesmen.

Ross cherry picks quotes to further his agenda in trying to convince others that the Country and all its problems are at the fault of "Liberals" and not that of the corrupt party in charge IE: Conservatives.

Ross Mackenzie is one of the reasons why the USA is in such a deep hole filled with shit. Continuing to be a cheerleader for failed leadership and failed policies shows Mackenzie's true colors. He's nothing short of a brown-nosed Brownshirt propagandist.

Here a tip to cure some of your headache Ross ...

Get your head out of your ass, and Bush's nuts out of your mouth! Then maybe you won't be such a tool.

Here's a bonus tip Ross (no charge) ...

You might want to try NOT to look/dress like your BFF & idol Richard Bruce "The Dick" Cheney ... It's soooo obvious.

Blogger.com slowdown??

The past several days I've experienced a dramatic slowdown with blogger.com.

When typing my text shows up slowly delayed many seconds later . I didn't have these problems last week.

I'll give it a couple more days before I start to complain to TPTB.

A BOY I NEVER KNEW

A BOY I NEVER KNEW

To have his arms around me, to sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had…all I ever had…

I’d love to see him dream, I’d love to watch him sleep
To have his arms around me, ?
Held his arms in mine, sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had for a moment of his love

He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my prayers and my hope
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago, so long ago…

I’d love to watch him dream, love to see him sleep
To have his arms around me, feel him as he breathes
Hold his hands in mine, sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had for a moment of his love

He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago…

He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams

A boy I never knew
And the man I’ll never know
I’ll never know, I'll never know…

To have his arms around me, sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had…

-R.Smith

The Cure debuted "A Boy I Never Knew" this past weekend in Mexico.
If you like to listen please have a look here for the lossless download link. MANY THANKS JEFF!

My opinion?

Robert's lyrics are so powerful flowing seem-less alongside with the elegant and beautiful playing from Porl, Simon and Jason.
Such a lovely song... and its been such a long time waiting. (Even though it was written back in 2004)

I'm really looking forward to their upcoming album next Spring!

NDSU BISON

Look out!! The Bison coming!!

Next year the NDSU Bison enter NCAA Division I football, and after two dominating wins against Central Michigan and Minnesota the Bison proved they can play with the big boys.

The Bison and their fans have great expectations for next year!! The rest of the nation better look out!!


Some things to think about:

- North Dakota State (6-0), who have won 10 games in a row are No. 2 in the
GPI.

- NDSU Running Back Tyler Roelh named Co-Great West Offensive Player Of The Week.

- NDSU's Tyler Roehl added to the Sports Network's Payton Award Watch List.

- Bison Linebacker Joe Mays remains on the Sports Network's Buchanan Award List.

WHEW!!!

One word to describe today's Cardnials vs Redskins game.

4-2 is a great record, but I'm not putting to much into this season as long as the the O continues to go 3-and-out.

Ubuntu 7.10 is out!!

And it looks amazing! Read all about it here, or go directly to ubuntu.com and start your download.

Opinions will come during the next few days.

New Pinhead?

I really hope this works out. A remake of the original sounds very exciting!

Variety reports that Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo have been hired to write and direct a Hellraiser remake, to be produced by Barker. The article mentions Rob Zombie's Halloween reboot as a catalyst for the new film, which Maury and Bustillo have previously described as less of a true remake than a reimagining featuring a new story and a new Pinhead.

Canned Spam

Hopefully more will be convicted.

Two men were sentenced to more than five years in prison for their part in sending millions of pornographic spam messages, marking the conclusion of the first major case under the 2003 federal CAN-SPAM anti-spam law.

Jeffrey Kilbride, 41, of Venice, Calif., and James Schaffer, 41, of Paradise Valley, Ariz., were convicted in June by a federal jury in Phoenix on eight counts that included violations of the CAN-SPAM Act, which bans the use of falsified e-mail headers and the spoofing of domain names. Their case was the first to include CAN-SPAM charges.

Those Lucky Chinese

China's Communist Government has really stepped up their efforts to have more human rights human censors for its citizens.

The government has built a patchwork system of controls that include software to root out offensive keywords and block blacklisted web sites. Government censors, known as Net nannies, surf the web looking for pornography, subversive political content or other illegal material. Major Internet portals like Sohu.com Inc. and Sina Corp. employ their own censors to make sure nothing runs afoul of government restrictions.

Friday FUD

More FUD from Microsoft.

Plaintiffs IP Innovation and Technology Licensing Corp. claim to have the rights to U.S. Patent No. 5,072,412 for a User Interface with Multiple Workspaces for Sharing Display System Objects issued Dec. 10, 1991 along with two other similar patents.

Defendants Red Hat Inc. and Novell have allegedly committed acts of infringement through products including the Red Hat Linux system, the Novell Suse Linex Enterprise Desktop and the Novell Suse Linex Enterprise Server.

"Red Hat's and Novell's infringement, contributory infringement and inducement to infringe has injured plaintiffs and plaintiffs are entitled to recover damages adequate to compensate them for such infringement but in no event less than a reasonable royalty," the original complaint states.

Jason Campbell - NFC Player of The Week

Washington Redskin's Quarterback Jason Campbell has proved to be every bit of the leader the Redskins had always hoped for since drafting him as the 25th overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft.

Campbell was named NFC Offensive Player of The Week during the Redskins 34-3 win over the Detroit Lions as he completed 23-of-29 for 248 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions for a career high QB rating of 125.3.

These next few years are going to be great to witness as a Redskin fan. Its been over a decade since Washington has had a franchise Quarterback. Jason Campbell is a franchise Quarterback and more, and hopefully soon he can bring the Lombardi Trophy back home to D.C. where it belongs.

OLPC AWESOMENESS

Here is awhy I still think the OLPC project will be a great success.

In November, you’ll be able to buy a new laptop that’s spillproof, rainproof, dustproof and drop-proof. It’s fanless, it’s silent and it weighs 3.2 pounds. One battery charge will power six hours of heavy activity, or 24 hours of reading. The laptop has a built-in video camera, microphone, memory-card slot, graphics tablet, game-pad controllers and a screen that rotates into a tablet configuration.

The laptop consumes an average of 2 watts, compared with 60 or more on a typical business laptop. That’s one reason it gets such great battery life. A small yo-yo-like pull-cord charger is available (one minute of pulling provides 10 minutes of power); so is a $12 solar panel that, although only one foot square, provides enough power to recharge or power the machine.

Radiohead misses the point

All the hype surrounded around Radiohead's latest release what just that ... Hype.

I've been a Radiohead fan since the early 90's, and was very happy to learn when the band
had announced the "Pay What You Want" hoopla.

But it now looks as if I'll have to wait to purchase the new LP in physical form (CD) other than the version offered via download.

The year is 2007 and you expect some fans to pay for an something thats compressed and lossy? I'm not going to get into an audiophile rant, but I'm sure its not asking much to at least notify us fans of this crap before we purchase anything.
