Lenovo are very good. I have a PC at home myself, if you look at most retailers and heavy duty PC/laptop users these are being used, affordable and reliable. These were brought to my attention when I worked at a large engineering firm, we tested their 3D work station for Autocad Civil 3D and it was awesome, far better than the dells we used. However it was more expensive and they stuck with the dells, upgrading to their version of the 3D work station which were ok. http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:CompareByNeed?current-category-id=653343E0DE54435882FABC3CE1BC569A I picked my computer up at the outlet website, the only this wrong was the box had been scratched, and I saved about $200 on the price. HP are about the worst you can buy with the worst customer service. Apple are expensive and propritary Asus are pretty good from what I have heard but never really used them.

Came across this today, found it may pertain to this thread slightly. Interesting read. http://www.bassmaster.com/tips/crank-em-cold for those to lazy to click here are some of the good parts of the article by Mr. Pete Ponds. "But when the bait comes along, especially when it rapidly increases its speed, they want to swat at it. It’s their nature. I say swat because a lot of the fish I catch doing this are hooked on the outside of the mouth. If they wanted to eat it they could. I suspect they’re reacting much like we react when a bee or a fly is buzzing around our heads. We slap at it to make it go away." "My tackle choices are pretty straightforward. I like a 1/2-ounce Rat-L-Trap — traditional or the Pro Trap model — (color optional) thrown with a 7-3 medium-heavy action Duckett Fishing rod and a high-speed Ardent Edge reel. My line is 30-pound-test Vicious braid. I use braid because it gives me the feel I need to detect when a bass is swatting at my bait but not making contact with it. One final tip: You don’t have to set the hook when you feel a fish. In fact, that’ll often cause you to lose it. Just loosen your drag a little and pull back hard. The hooks will penetrate past the barb and you’ll be good to go."

Good point Teal I didn't think of that.

Yeah I always liked Billick, he was a great Offensive mind when he had talent available. I think his weakness if any was drafting players on the offensive side of the ball. The def and defensive draft picks during his time in Baltimore were good, think that has to do with his defensive coordinator

I saw the eagles interviewing Billick what do you think about that flyfisher?...... But I think it will be a close game, but the Pats don't have enough...we barely lost last year, beat them this year in the regular season but with our old O. RAVENS RAVENS RAVENS.

IMHO there is another online retailer out of Ohio that has some good stuff at good prices, and saltwater gear too. Tackle warehouse sometimes is too limited on colors and brands and sometimes more expensive than this other website. Also gander is free shipping so for terminal tackle or restocking I order there just because no shipping no driving lol.

My wife's brother had a blue tick, good dog. Sam, me and her, we'd take him off his spot and tree cats with him. LOL Got lyme disease and went out a bad way man, not my dog but d**n dogs that work for a living sure deserve better.

Yeah that is what we will see, if they can replicate the success, or was it just a career year. For the Nats my ?s are Detwieler, J.Zimmerman, and Gio. but my fear and real worry is with the O's. Especially with their pitching, Jammel, Chen and Gonzalez, reality will hit them hard this year and we will be back to the crusty O's at the bottom. Out of the two teams I think the nats have more logical upsdie and potential to replicate last season. where the O's might be screwed pitching wise. Hitting they really were that great and they can replicate, Machado may improve and better the numbers that Reynolds had. DH is still a ? But I think the nats have a nice solid lineup.... Now for the Phils they are set the east is theirs to lose.

Pretty nice lineup and rotation they have there in the Capital. I think all said and done, they have improved since last year with Span and Haren, retaining LaRoche......Can't say the same for the O's though they really haven't improved much, hope they were legit and not just a one year wonder.

Yeah, plotts are awesome big game dogs, good trackers from what I hear. I wouldn't mind one of them myself. Think small man, patterdale.....u can run fox, coon with those little guys. LOL

Man these playoff games have been great so far. Can't wait to see both this weekend.The NFC is a tough call it could go either way depending on who shows up to play. I know ATL can score, their Def did ok for the first half, but Wilson threw for almost 400 yards, they face a similar QB this week, but with what I think better TE, RB, and WRs than seattle. I am kinda leaning to SF because they look stronger on paper. Turner isn't getting 90 yds this week putting the ball in Ryans hand something we all dunno if he can handle. AFC is an easy call for me, RAVENS. I think they go up there and put up more Offense than NE Def can handle. We always played them close the last 3 seasons. I think the new O scheme will give us the edge.

RE-JECTED! Upton used his no trade clause. GM says no hurry So is AZ plans to play him right, they are just trying to move him before FA? Guess I will just stear clear in the draft

Man the rookie QB for san fran surprised me, I am a believer now. Can't wait to see what he can do statistically next season. I think Seattle and NE win today

What kinda dog is he running, hound? You need a dog, buddy.

I posted this on another thread but as of Friday Sahara and symetre are $20 off at gander and they ship for free.

X2 this is my pick, love the two pfluegers I own.

Wow ^^^ that is a shocker. Az gets some decent pitching prospects, they look like the will be go to go in a few yrs.

Denver was lucky that the special teams kept the game close enough for Peyton to lose. Lol Joe really stepped up his game lastnight. And Rice had 30 carries! finally!!! the offense is looking awesome with Caldwell running the show. nice job! With the momentum they have the two teams playing today have got to hate their chances next week. GO RAVENS!

Nice fish, it is always pretty cool to watch them hit the bait.

Yeah that is what I meant, when they had a winning record. LOL

And with the depth of talent on your offense at key positions it is similar to what he had when the Chargers were sucessful. I see Monte Kiffin to Dallas as the new DC. that will be interesting. He had some great Tampa Defenses.

That would be IMO great for your team.

http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/msn/dc_mayor_wants_the_redskins_name_change_discussed/12617422 people really are too sensative. While they are at it the Reds should have to change their mascot because it is offensive to people with big heads. I don't hear any native americans complaining, it is random people with nothing better to do, just like the up roar about the braves batting practice caps. Everything gets blown out of proportion these days, jeeze.

Too good not to post LOL http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/broncos-pair-best-nickname-playoffs-195029943--nfl.html

Saharas and symetres are $20 off at Gander mountain right now, you can get one new for 59.99 and 79.99 respectively. And Gander has free shipping
