SOUTH AMERICA CYCLING TOUR OVERVIEW
Che's recycled 'Bicycle Diaries, 2018' is Bike Odyssey's most expansive, dramatic and physically engaging expedition yet. From Patagonia's purest pleasures to Isla Negra's haunting Nerudaian poetry, Che tour will envelope you in a unique and spiritual mystery, found only in the unspoilt, enchanted hinterlands of South America. Join us for the launch of this epic adventure love child, as we soar into the dizzy heights of 'Los Andes' and their untamed beauty, as we explore Che Guevara's dusty trails set some sixty years before our tentative and excited scouting.
'The Man' himself is fascinating. Equally loved and hated around the world we will learn how 'Che become this both iconic and horrific figure.
Che was lured to this volcanic wonderland by our own thematic inspirations of adventure, cultural discovery and gastronomic hedonism. Our love of cycling narcissism has added an extreme physical element in the form of a tri transversal crossing of this immense tectonic range to add spice to an already broiling cauldron of sensory succulence.
After meandering between the spectacular, rocky coast line and the delectable delights of the country's finest wine regions we head inland where our Andean crossings will be buttressed between the volcanoes, lakes and thermal springs that abound this magical place. After four challenging and spiritually uplifting weeks, we will roll then sail into Bariloche, in the heart of Argentinian Patagonia; a fitting finale to the twenty-five thousand vertical meters climbed, during an odyssey that defies adjectival parameters!
Come and join Max, your tour leader and creator of this epic adventure on its inaugural tour in 2018.

Read more about the Food and Wine of the regions we ride through
Argentina's cuisine is highly influenced by Europe, including much Mediterranean cooking traits. Along with a large emphasis on the locally fresh products, it makes for some scrumptious meals. The country is famous for its grass fed cattle and the gauchos who work the open range raising these animals. All parts of the cow are eaten, so nothing goes to waste. The most traditional way to eat meat in Argentina is the asado, or barbecue. And a bbq is not a bbq in Argentina without its spicy sausage chorizo to begin it with, a great starter to any meal.
Chilean cuisine varies depending where you are, because of its ecological and climatic diversity. Right down its long coast, the ocean provides seafood as the main ingredient of its many dishes. Local crops are the staple of each regional cuisine which have been prepared for thousands of years by native Indians before the Spanish arrived. Among the most important agricultural crops are maize also known as choclo, quinoa and potatoes which have been cultivated since pre-Inca times providing nourishment in the high altitudes of the Andes.
Empanadas: Fabulous at any time of the day and found across Argentina and Chile are these small pies filled with all types of filling, although ham, cheese and meat are the most popular. During the week before Easter special empanadas are filled with tuna or cod. A great snack to keep up energy for peddling!
Pebre: is probably the most ubiquitous condiment in Chile. This spicy mixture of chili peppers, onions, garlic, and cilantro comes in many variations in different regions of the country. The red color of most pebres comes from red chile pepper paste, not tomatoes so it does not taste like most North American salsas. You will find it served with virtually anything - a sandwich, as a dip for bread, or served over grilled meats. You cannot and will not want to escape this addictive Chilean dish.
Chile has a long viticultural history for a New World wine region dating to the 16th century when the Spanish conquistadors brought Vitis vinifera vines with them as they colonized the region.
Chile has 2,700 miles of coastline along the frigid Pacific Ocean and a climate that is described as midway between that of California and France. These factors allow perfect growing conditions for a number of wines that have recently been getting international acclaim.
Chile produces wines that are both fruity and herbaceous, similar to French wine, making it no wonder that French wine producers from Bordeaux have invested heavily in the region, making it their home away from home. The increase of wineries in Chile over the last 30 years relates largely to the large amount of French families immigrating to Chile during the late 20th century. Not only the French, but Germans, Spanish and Swiss also have invested in Chilean vineyards to share their fine tastes and experience and knowledge of the wine world.
We will be tasting internationally acclaimed New World wines through out our tour, leaving you in no doubt why Chile is winning awards and competitions throughout, even over Old World wines. Chilean winemakers have been developing a distinct style for their Cabernet Sauvignon, producing an easy drinking wine with soft tannins and flavors of mint, black currant, olives and smoke.
Two of the most refined wineries we will take you to during Che Tour, are in The Casablanca and San Antonio Valleys of the Aconcagua Wine Region. In Casablanca Valley vines were first planted in the mid-1980s during the revitalization of the Chilean wine industry and the area quickly became known for its white wines, most notably Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot noir, which thrive in its cooler climate.
Just below in San Antonio Valley is known for producing Pinot noir, Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay. Like the Casablanca Valley, San Antonio is highly influenced by the cooling effect of the Pacific Ocean, but whose soils are granitic, poor and well drained with a topsoil of clay, providing a good substrate for vines. It is seen as the best up and coming wine area of Chile.
Che Guevara has become a legendary political figure. Often equated heroically with rebellion, revolution, and socialism, many also remember that he was ruthless and ordered executions without trial in Cuba. However, Guevara's image remains a prevalent icon of leftist radicalism and anti-imperialism.
Che Guevara was born Ernesto de la Serna on 14 June 1928 in Rosario, Argentina. As a student he traveled widely and his worldview was changed by a nine-month journey he began in December 1951, with his friend Alberto Granado. That trip took them from Argentina through Chile, Peru, Colombia, and on to Venezuela, from which Guevara traveled alone on to Miami, returning to Argentina by plane (We only ride the Argentina - Chile Section!). During the trip Guevara kept a journal that was posthumously published under his family's guidance as The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey (2003) and adapted to film as The Motorcycle Diaries (2004).
During these travels he observed the great poverty of the masses and the state of the Latin American countries. His eventual conclusion was that the only solution lay in violent revolution. In 1954 he went to Mexico, the following year he met Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. Guevara joined Castro's '26th July Movement' and played a key role in the eventual success of its guerrilla war against Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.
Castro overthrew Batista in 1959 and took power in Cuba. From 1959-1961, Guevara was president of the National Bank of Cuba, and then minister of industry. In this position, he travelled the world as an ambassador for Cuba. At home, he carried out plans for land redistribution and the nationalisation of industry.
A strong opponent of the United States, he guided the Castro regime towards alignment with the Soviet Union. The Cuban economy faltered as a result of American trade sanctions and unsuccessful reforms. During this difficult time Guevara began to fall out with the other Cuban leaders. He later expressed his desire to spread revolution in other parts of the developing world, and in 1965 Castro announced that Guevara had left Cuba.
Guevara then spent several months in Africa, particularly the Congo, attempting to train rebel forces in guerrilla warfare. His efforts failed and in 1966 he secretly returned to Cuba. From Cuba he travelled to Bolivia to lead forces rebelling against the government of René Barrientos Ortuño. With US assistance, the Bolivian army captured Guevara and his remaining fighters. He was executed on 9 October 1967 in the Bolivian village of La Higuera and his body was buried in a secret location. In 1997 his remains were discovered, exhumed and returned to Cuba, where he was reburied.
Why Che?
'Che' is a form of colloquial slang commonly used in Argentina and Uruguay in a vocative sense as "friend" and thus loosely corresponds to expressions like "mate," "pal," "man," "bro," or "dude."
Ernesto "Che" Guevara earned his nickname from his frequent use of the expression, which to his Cuban comrades in the Cuban Revolution was a curious feature of his idiolect. As a result, Guevara is popularly known simply as el Che (the Che) in many Latin American countries.
Sam and the Bike Odyssey team exceeded our expectations on every level. Each and every day of our first European cycle adventure delivered memories of people and places that will last a lifetime. A test of mind and body, but a rich and rewarding experience that has whet the appetite for more of the same. We'll be back.
Michael and Louise Clifton
Without a doubt your guides (and Sam is included), are the best I've had on any tour, and I've ridden more tours than I can count across the US, Europe and South America. Great personalities and extremely helpful. Also very accommodating to personal preferences (bananas and Cokes!). This is what will keep me coming back to Odyssey tours. Also extremely important – your willingness to let riders leave whenever they want in the morning and have the bikes out and ready to ride early — before breakfast. Much appreciated.
Wayne Riley
Organising a custom tour in a foreign country where you are not fluent in the language can be intimidating as you are always trying to consider your groups individual needs and abilities, Getting to know Sam and then working with Bike Odyssey is so refreshing in that they were able to provide a very high end experience, while feeling like it was effortless on our end. The team was always working hard in the background to make sure our customised Hannibal adventure unfolded seamlessly and going by the feedback from our group and the sign up for Lionheart it's clear they were effective.
Sam's approach is calm and confident and the route choice as well as accommodation was memorable. I would highly recommend engaging Bike Odyssey as your choice.
Paul Traynor
Eastern Explorer Excellence!! We had such a fantastic two week custom tour with Bike Odyssey. 9 friends from Adelaide, of varying abilities, embarked on an epic 1,400kms from Görlitz on the German/Polish border, all through Poland, with a rest day in Gdańsk, ending in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The organisation of the trip was perfect, Max and Francesca our tour leaders could not have done more for us. Great hotels, wonderful food, and great technical help from Frannie who made us all into Hammerhead converts and experts within no time at all! No more dodgy paper maps and getting lost, Hammerheads are the way forward! Literally!
Thanks Bike Odyssey for a brilliant tour, we look forward to the next one!
Hannah Schultz
Well, what can I say other than brilliant! Hannibal 2017 was 16 days of brilliant riding, excellent accommodation and the guides were just second to none. Sam, Max and the team are committed to ensuring that you have the trip of a lifetime, to which I did. I would recommend bike odyssey as the best cycling company to take you on an adventure through Europe and beyond! Do it!!!…..you won't regret a single minute. Thanks Sam and team for a wonderful trip!
Amanda Copp
The cycling routes, guides, food, wine and accommodation were all great. Such a memorable trip. I highly recommend bike odyssey
Sarah Armstrong
Awesome Guides, fantastic accommodation, best riding ever. If you ride a bike book a holiday with these guys, you won't regret it.
Peter Rau
Thank you Max for being such an excellent guide during our Hannibal Tour. Your infectious enthusiasm was invaluable and the way you supported the whole group throughout each day was fabulous. I felt very safe with you as our tour leader during the first few days and appreciate your motivating and fun loving personality from the beginning to the end of the trip. And last but not least, your Spanish mints (with accompanying jingle) each morning were vital to a good start to the day.
Megan Rigney
I felt that all the guides and their contributions were extraordinary all went over and above to ensure that we were in the right place, their individual and team contributions were excellent as was their personal skill sets all were able to walk the talk with no trouble.
Martyn Smith
The guides were amazing…..excellent in fact. Particular mention has to go to Mark. He is as solid and reliable and friendly as you could ever wish for. Nothing was too much for him – even with a stinking cold towards the end, he was ever present and friendly. The image of him at the top of Col Agnel in gale force words and horizontal rain, packing bikes into the trailer will stay with me for a long time.
The other guides were all excellent and genuinely could not do enough. They made the trip very easy and all we had to do was concentrate on riding our bikes.
Pat Marshall
I was captivated from the first by the notion of historically themed epic cycling journeys, but I had no idea about the level of real support that Sam and his team was going to provide. Our journey was certainly epic in every way; the daily distances stretched me physically and we were unlucky to cop some really wet weather during the first weeks of the tour. The support really amazed me. There were days when we arrived at our destination soaked and nearly done in, but our bikes were whisked away for clean up and we were met with enthusiastic congratulations from the team and snacks and drinks for an immediate pick-me-up. This was always followed by utter relaxation in wonderful accommodation and great food. On the ride itself, the bike guides were a revelation to me. The last part of the climb to the Gotthardt was looking a bit grim until a smiling face appeared at my side and suggested a pause for a photo opportunity might just let me catch my breath. Despite being the last rider at the col who wanted to make the cold descent in the mist, companion riders and guides all encouraged me to go for it.
Dianne Batten
Despite having had a "one in a century event" as far as the amount of rainfall is concerned (there have been record floods in this part of the world), and precipitation for 5 out of the past 6 days, everyone is still in good spirits and, if anything, the sense of a group identity is stronger than ever. This in itself is a fine testament to both Sam's organisation and the great team he has put together to support us. And the service in making sure all our bikes are cleaned up, re-lubed, and with gears tuned each morning – often in the rain – through these days of inclement weather has been magnificent. Through it all, Sam has remained totally unfazed and this has helped us all through. With the fantastically conceived historical nature of this trip, the brilliant route and wonderful accommodation as well – not to mention Sam's excellent historical interpretations – it's hard to imagine a more interesting, rewarding and challenging tour.
Doug Bruce
As a 65 yr old with 2 metal hips, I joined Sam's very first Hannibal tour, with some appreciable trepidation. But any misgivings I might have entertained dissipated quickly. Stunning views, friendly and ever helpful guides, scrumptious local fare and excellent accommodation more than compensated for the fading grumblings of an initially reluctant body. By the 3rd day all fatigue was forgotten as I made friends with riders from very different backgrounds, learnt some useful lingo and soaked up sights, smells and history of a most interesting part of the World.
Bob Hofman
Sam did a faultless job running the tour from the hotels to the food, the support, the hire bikes and the incredible history of Hannibal along the way, I cannot imagine how it could have been executed any better. The guides were professional, dedicated, friendly and supportive. Their experience shone through and is their greatest asset.
I already have my next epic tour planned, and it wont be the last.
Jason Langer
The Hannibal Expedition has been the major riding highlight of my 20-year riding career. The scenery, food wine and accommodation were something I have no hesitation in recommending. For me, the greatest plus was achieving the challenge the Hannibal Expedition's thoughtfully crafted route provides. Plenty of personal challenge, in beautiful and historic countries, with almost no traffic. What more could you ask for.
Stephen Seymour
The guides? What a team! On and off the bike the guys could not have been better. Their focus was on ensuring that everyone was safe and enjoying themselves. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They handled sometimes difficult situations , with grace, and good humour. And as an added bonus Mark and Dirk's photography is simply stunning. So I've done 2 epic trips now, thoroughly indulged and enjoyed myself both times.
Sharon Watson
Max, Sam and Mark, what a trip! The finest food and wine from France, the best roads of Germany, Polish castles, new age Baltic states, and behind the romance of Russia. We did more than follow Napoleon's footsteps, we opened up a new world. My life is enriched because of the 2015 Napoleon tour.
James Sulzburger
Sam, a fantastic tour for the adventurous with the usual epic adventure standards – well researched, great accommodation and meals and the best of guides and support. This tour has a variety of landscapes, terrain, cultures and is filled with history both ancient and modern. There wasn't a day when I thought I'd prefer to be somewhere else.
Kay Jacob
Sam, Max, and Mark, thanks guys, in your role as tour operators and guides your professionalism, work rate, attention to detail and commitment was second to none.
Gary Powell
Sam, your team did a magnificent job in the planning & executing of this tour – the castles, chateaux, monasteries & mansions we stayed in were amazing ( who could forget Ziggy?)!
Ruth Kerr
What an amazing holiday! You can eat and drink as much as you like and you still go home fitter and trimmer than when you left! Wait till Woman's Weekly or Cosmo hear about this holiday! You guys'll be booked solid till early retirement. This was undoubtedly the best long weekend of my life so far. I'll be back next year for at the very least a full stage, if not more! My legs look forward to cashing this cheque which my hand is currently writing!
Will Wetherall
The guides on the Hannibal Expedition were excellent. They are excellent organisers, who think ahead, and are always looking to make the best possible experience for the riders, whether this be making sure the bikes are in top condition, or the picnics lunch is in "the spot", or the evening meal is an experience to remember. The guides are happy to answer to questions on the route, and change things as weather or circumstance require. Sam's historical knowledge and has willingness to share this knowledge really added to the trip.
I am very much looking forward to riding with them again.
This was by far the most fun I have had on a bike. It was a pretty stern physical test for me, and thus perfect. I eyed off the van once or twice but never had to get in it. Lovely places and lovely routes that you would never find by yourself, and all fully supported.
Ted Robinson
Hannibal Barca, the wily Carthaginian General, was a fine strategist and leader. His attempt to conquer Rome by taking war elephants across the Alps was a real feat. If you wish to ride across the Alps, in fine style, without the support of war elephants, then you should sign up for this tour. They are great operators and their tour is first class.
Roddy Johnson
It is a rare thing to experience something that changes your perspective on life permanently, even more rare when that something is a choice, and not a challenge that life has forced upon you.
The Hannibal Tour did just that, it changed my perspective on life. I started the tour with very high expectations, to see the best of Europe, to make friends, to challenge myself physically. What it achieved was well beyond this. The Hannibal Tour covered some of the most extraordinary landscape I will ever see, including times when I truly was on top of the world. Meeting the physical challenge of 26 days of cycling when I have never in my life before been a cyclist has left me with an incredible belief that anything is possible in life. I have made lifelong friends from across the globe. On this tour, I felt more alive than I had since I was a kid. We all laughed hard, ate and drank like kings, and at the top of the Alps I cried with joy. And all this, from the seat of a bicycle.
Sam had obviously put a lot of time and effort into researching and organising the Hannibal Epic. The detail in the planning is obvious from the start and resulted in a magnificent experience every day. The hotels, restaurants, routes, lunch stops including several picnics, coffee breaks and extras such as wine tastings and farmhouse meals were superb. An added feature of their tours is the historical aspect which was regularly explained to us in regard to our location. I feel very lucky to have found this tour and to have been able to participate as it was challenging, unforgettable and a great opportunity to meet other like minded cyclists and create new friendships. It was hard coming home after such a unique experience. Thank you Sam.
To go on a trip that has congruency with the challenge of the ride -the epic and the history, gastronomy, the culture, the landscapes and to provide such intelligent support is amazing . I loved it, felt challenged, gave myself to the whole experience and have no criticisms, just grateful for a marvellous trip.
Bernadette Redfern
The 25 days I spent on the road with Sam was the best month I have had in my life. To be able to travel through Spain, France and Italy, and to see, do, eat and enjoy so much, was a real privilege. Sam eliminates any stress that may come with such a huge undertaking. Really, all you have to do is keep pedalling and not lose control of your bike when you pinch yourself to check you are not actually dreaming.

Some Light Reading
Che Guevara's own account of his travels around Latin America which formed his revolutionary view on the world.
Recognised as probably the best biography of Che Guevara. A very good detailed, yet easy to read account of his life.
The movie based on Che's own book of the same name. A great movie on many levels from its portrayal of friendship, travel and self discovery.
A different viewpoint on this period of history. Antonio Veciana's account of the CIA in this period is pretty chilling!
James's biography is fascinating and remarkable because of its point of view. He is out to debunk Guevara's Myth.

A truckie captures an incident on his dashcam that could be a lesson to all of us. Keeping himself steadily in the right lane of a two-lane highway, the truck driver's dashcam records the actions of two vehicles that unfolds just ahead of the truck, in the other lane.
Two SUVs come into view, both traveling a little faster than the truck in the left lane. This lane is for overtaking slower vehicles, it should enable vehicles to pass if they wish to. However, the SUV in front was impeding the progress of the one following.
Instead of moving over to allow the rear car to pass, which is common courtesy, the driver of the front vehicle remained in place. It is possible there was no clear opportunity for him to change lanes just at that moment since there were other vehicles merging into the right lane.
However, what happens next is shocking. The driver of the rear SUV began tailgating the vehicle in front in an aggressive and dangerous manner. Perhaps they thought they could intimidate the front car into moving across to let them by.
The driver of the SUV in front may have interpreted this action as bullying and stubbornly held their place. The next moment, the leading vehicle slammed on his brakes as clearly seen in the video by the tailgate lighting up.
In the split second that followed, the tailgating driver responded with sudden braking and lost control of the vehicle. It left the road at high speed and crashed through the safety barrier along the center of the highway while the SUV in front sped off down the highway.
Speeding drivers can all take a lesson from this video. If you care about highway courtesy share this video with your friends and see what they take away from it.


Knapstrupper and Appaloosa stallions look very similar, as they both have spotted coats.
Knapstrupper and Appaloosa stallions look very similar, as they both have spotted coats. However, the two breeds developed independently. The Knapstrupper breed comes from Denmark, while Appaloosas originated in the USA. Knapstruppers are not only popular because of their coat pattern, but are also talented dressage horses.
They can master dressage exercises, including haute école jumps, with ease.

NORTH BRANFORD >> The merger of the two Roman Catholic parishes in town into the Parish of St. Ambrose is bringing with it greater flexibility and more opportunities to carry out the churches' mission, say members and staff of the parish.
St. Augustine and St. Monica churches remain open for Mass and other services and events and have been linked under the Rev. Robert Turner's leadership since 2013.
But the merger, which took place Jan. 1, created one Catholic parish encompassing all of North Branford. Its 2,000 families are celebrating their first Easter season this year as the first merged parish in the Archdiocese of Hartford.
"There was a lot of affinity between the two communities," said Turner, who pointed out that St. Monica was formed as a mission church from St. Augustine in the 1950s when the town grew large enough to support two parishes. The linked parishes had separate parish councils, finances and programs, but, at least in St. Monica's case, strained under a deficit and declining membership.
When Turner, who had been an assistant at St. Margaret in Madison, was assigned to lead both parishes in 2013, he began to look for a better model and contacted the archdiocese's Office of Pastoral Planning.
After three meetings with more than 50 members of the two parishes, clergy and diocesan staff, "We discerned that the best way forward for the communities was to bring them together," said Turner.
The result, they believe, is an ability to offer more flexible Mass times and religious education classes, and a plan to hire a full-time youth minister to reach out to young people of the parish and to bring in new members.
The group also decided on the name of the new parish. "St. Ambrose was a contemporary of St. Augustine and St. Monica" in the fourth century, said Turner. Monica was Augustine's mother and as a Christian "was very upset that her son didn't embrace Christianity." She went to Ambrose, who was bishop of Milan and who is credited with converting Augustine, a major figure of the early church.
The merger of the two parishes has helped bring the two ends of town together, said Mimi Miller, a 55-year member of St. Augustine. "It's fine, it's good. It's renewed my friendship with people from Northford that I haven't seen in a long time," in some cases 30 years, she said.
A former member of the parish council at St. Augustine, Miller said there was some cross-over before between Northford and the southern end of town. "I teach catechism so I have kids from both ends of town … That hasn't really changed too much," she said.
Miller said that when St. Monica's pastor, the Rev. Joseph Parel, died in 2013, it seemed inevitable that something would happen. "You just saw the number of priests was dwindling [and] something was going to be momentous and it was," she said.
Ann Raymond has been a member of St. Monica for eight years, since moving to Northford. "For me, it's very exciting because we are one town and it's really proven to be a wonderful opportunity to meet people across the town," she said.
Raymond said she's particularly happy about the emphasis on attracting younger people.
Turner, 31, "really has a wonderful vision for the future of St. Ambrose," Raymond said.
When the Rev. Robert Rousseau transferred from St. Augustine to Holy Family Church in Enfield, Turner was assigned as the linking pastor. He began to combine ministries such as religious education and confirmation classes.
Among the benefits of merging is that there are more times available for religious education of youth, and thus more flexibility for families. "We've been able to offer parents many more convenient times," said Cyndie Baker, operations manager for the parish.
Deacon Joseph Marenna, who served St. Monica and is now St. Ambrose's business manager, said, "There are more and more people who are coming to both" churches.
Among the programs that St. Ambrose has started is the Alpha Course, which was started by an Anglican priest, the Rev. Nicky Gumbel, in England and which has spread around the world in many denominations.
First, an Alpha team was created within the parish. Miller said it was a way to build relationships within the parish. After dinner and a video introducing the course, "We would talk for another 45 minutes or so. By the time we finished … we had bonded," she said.

Data may be recovered after a drive failure in a RAID 0 configuration.
Raid 0 stripes data across multiple hard drives, which improves performance but provides no data recovery after a failure.
RAID (; "redundant array of inexpensive disks" or "redundant array of independent disks") is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into one or more logical units for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both. This is in contrast to the previous concept of highly reliable mainframe disk drives referred to as "single large expensive disk" (SLED).Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways, referred to as RAID levels, depending on the required level of redundancy and performance. The different schemes, or data distribution layouts, are named by the word "RAID" followed by a number, for example RAID 0 or RAID 1. Each scheme, or RAID level, provides a different balance among the key goals: reliability, availability, performance, and capacity. RAID levels greater than RAID 0 provide protection against unrecoverable sector read errors, as well as against failures of whole physical drives.

Choose the option that could not be correctly described as Non-volatile:
Don't let the wording confuse you! You are looking for the option that is NOT described as non-volatile. Non-volatile memory retains data without a power source. Flash memory (like in thumb drives), SSD hard drives and tape drives do not require a power source to retain data. Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile and loses its data without a power source and is therefore not described as non-volatile.
Non-volatile memory (NVM) or non-volatile storage is a type of computer memory that can retain stored information even after power is removed. In contrast, volatile memory needs constant power in order to retain data. Non-volatile memory typically refers to storage in semiconductor memory chips, which store data in floating-gate memory cells consisting of floating-gate MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors), including flash memory storage such as NAND flash and solid-state drives (SSD). Other examples of non-volatile memory include read-only memory (ROM), EPROM (erasable programmable ROM) and EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable ROM), ferroelectric RAM, most types of computer data storage devices (e.g. disk storage, hard disk drives, optical discs, floppy disks, and magnetic tape), and early computer storage methods such as punched tape and cards.

While working for a IT Consulting firm, you have been tasked with setting up several SOHO wireless networks. Which of the following will ensure the security of confidential data?
Enabling wireless encryption
Enable MAC filtering
Disabling SSID Broadcast
Configuring the lowest broadcast power possible
Encrypting data before transmitting wirelessly is the best method to ensure data security.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2), and Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) are the three security and security certification programs developed after 2000 by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliance defined these in response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).WPA (sometimes referred to TKIP standard) became available in 2003. The Wi-Fi Alliance intended it as an intermediate measure in anticipation of the availability of the more secure and complex WPA2, which became available in 2004 and is a common shorthand for the full IEEE 802.11i (or IEEE 802.11i-2004) standard. In January 2018, Wi-Fi Alliance announced the release of WPA3 with several security improvements over WPA2.

A user reports that their printouts contain a shadow of the previous image. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause?
Fuser assembly
Corona wire
Pickup assembly
After a printer applies toner to paper the fuser assembly rolls over the paper and applies heat to fuse the toner to the paper. Occasionally, the toner can stick to the fuser assembly and will be applied to the next sheet of paper passed through the printer.
Your employer is in the middle of a remodel and the IT Department is responsible for moving RJ-45 wall jacks to new locations. Which tool can be used verify connectivity of a RJ-45 port after it has been moved?
Loopback plug
Cable crimper
Loopback plugs are inexpensive tools used to create a loop in wiring. For networking, RJ-45 loopback plugs are great tools for quickly checking if data is being properly transmitted.
Loopback (also written loop-back) is the routing of electronic signals or digital data streams back to their source without intentional processing or modification. It is primarily a means of testing the communications infrastructure. There are many example applications. It may be a communication channel with only one communication endpoint. Any message transmitted by such a channel is immediately and only received by that same channel. In telecommunications, loopback devices perform transmission tests of access lines from the serving switching center, which usually does not require the assistance of personnel at the served terminal. Loop around is a method of testing between stations that are not necessarily adjacent, wherein two lines are used, with the test being done at one station and the two lines are interconnected at the distant station. A patch cable may also function as loopback, when applied manually or automatically, remotely or locally, facilitating a loop-back test. Where a system (such as a modem) involves round-trip analog-to-digital processing, a distinction is made between analog loopback, where the analog signal is looped back directly, and digital loopback, where the signal is processed in the digital domain before being re-converted to an analog signal and returned to the source.

Failure of a single disk in a RAID 1 array will not result in permanent data loss.
True - failure of a single disk in RAID 1 will NOT result in permanent data loss. Redundant Array of Independent Disks 1 (RAID) uses disk mirroring to ensure every piece of data can also be found on another hard drive. This means if a single disk fails, another disk will still have the necessary data.
A customer is complaining that their laptop often restarts with no warning, most often when they are playing video games or have several programs running at once. What is most likely the issue?
Insufficient power levels
Disk failure
Any computer can overheat, but laptops are compact and can easily overheat when the processor is stressed for long periods of time. Typically when a computer becomes too hot it will simply shut off without warning to prevent any physical damage to the computer.
Overheating is a phenomenon of rising temperatures in an electrical circuit. Overheating causes damage to the circuit components and can cause fire, explosion, and injury. Damage caused by overheating is usually irreversible; the only way to repair it is to replace some components.

Which of the following allows devices to operate without requiring a separate power source?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows devices to use an ethernet connection as a power source, most commonly found in IP phones. The ethernet cable provides the power for the device to operate as well as network connectivity.
Power over Ethernet, or PoE, describes any of several standards or ad hoc systems that pass electric power along with data on twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices such as wireless access points (WAPs), Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones. There are several common techniques for transmitting power over Ethernet cabling. Three of them have been standardized by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard IEEE 802.3 since 2003. These standards are known as alternative A, alternative B, and 4PPoE. For 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, only two of the four signal pairs in typical Cat 5 cable are used. Alternative B separates the data and the power conductors, making troubleshooting easier. It also makes full use of all four twisted pairs in a typical Cat 5 cable. The positive voltage is applied to pins 4 and 5, and the negative to pins 7 and 8. Alternative A transports power on the same wires as data for 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet variants. This is similar to the phantom power technique commonly used for powering condenser microphones. Power is transmitted on the data conductors by applying a common voltage to each pair. Because twisted-pair Ethernet uses differential signaling, this does not interfere with data transmission. The common-mode voltage is easily extracted using the center tap of the standard Ethernet pulse transformer. For Gigabit Ethernet and faster, both alternatives A and B transport power on wire

A customer is not able to connect to any websites. Which of the following commands should a technician run FIRST to identify the issue?
NET SHOW
The IPCONFIG command will return a computer's network information such as IP Addresses. Using this tool you can determine if the computer has a proper IP Address.
ipconfig (standing for "Internet Protocol configuration") is a console application program of some computer operating systems that displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings.

You are a Network Technician for a large IT Support Company. A client has called in saying that they switched their SOHO network to a fiber connection at the recommendation of their ISP. They have stated that they have not seen a gain in internet performance and that their ISP says it is an issue on the customer's network. What should you do next?
Contact the ISP for more information
Upgrade the customer's SOHO switch to support 1 Gbps or higher
Help the customer determine the possible bottlenecks in their SOHO network
Inform the customer that internet performance is an issue they must resolve with their ISP
You should ask questions to assist the customer in determining their network equipment. The most likely cause of the poor performance is that their network equipment (routers, switches, etc) or devices (wireless or wired NIC) do not support the faster speeds. The only way to solve this issue is to get more information from the customer.
Which of the following provides constant power to a motherboard, allowing it to retain configuration data for the BIOS?
AC Power Supply
BIOS configuration data is retained by using a small battery, called the CMOS battery, as a power source when the power supply is not on. The data is saved in the nonvolatile BIOS memory (also called CMOS RAM) and will be lost if the CMOS battery dies or is removed. If the data is lost the BIOS will revert to default settings.
Nonvolatile BIOS memory refers to a small memory on PC motherboards that is used to store BIOS settings. It is traditionally called CMOS RAM because it uses a volatile, low-power complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) SRAM (such as the Motorola MC146818 or similar) powered by a small "CMOS" battery when system and standby power is off. It is referred to as non-volatile memory or NVRAM because, after the system loses power, it does retain state by virtue of the CMOS battery. The typical NVRAM capacity is 256 bytes.The CMOS RAM and the real-time clock have been integrated as a part of the southbridge chipset and it may not be a standalone chip on modern motherboards. In turn, the southbridge have been integrated into a single Platform Controller Hub. Today's UEFI motherboards use NVRAM to store configuration data (NVRAM is a part of the UEFI flash ROM), but by many OEMs' design, the UEFI settings are still lost if the CMOS battery fails.

Choose the option that best describes the term boot sequence:
The order of memory as it is given to the Master Boot Record (MBR)
Average number of instructions executed for each clock cycle
Information in the first sector of any hard disk or diskette
The order in which eligible boot devices are checked for an operating system
Boot Sequence refers to the order devices should be checked for an operating system by the BIOS. When the BIOS detects an OS, it will attempt to boot to that device.
Your supervisor has given you a replacement inked ribbon to install into a printer. What type of printer is this replacement for?
Dot Matrix and Daisy Wheel printers use a hammer mechanism to push an inked ribbon onto paper. This type of printer is known as an Impact Printer.
Impact printers create an image by using some mechanism to physically press an inked ribbon against the page, causing the ink to be deposited on the page in the shape desired These printers are typically loud, but remain in use today because of their unique ability to function with multipart forms Common examples of impact printers are dot matrix, daisy-wheel printers, and ball printers

You have been assigned to configure a new enterprise wireless router for your employer's network. Which of the following settings should be changed first?
Configure encryption
Manufacturer password
Default SSID
MAC address filters
Networking equipment typically ships with a default password or no password at all. Changing the password should be step one, before any other configurations.
Where a device needs a username and/or password to log in, a default password is usually provided that allows the device to be accessed during its initial setup, or after resetting to factory defaults. Manufacturers of such equipment typically use a simple password, such as admin or password on all equipment they ship, in the expectation that users will change the password during configuration. The default username and password is usually found in the instruction manual (common for all devices) or on the device itself. Default passwords are one of the major contributing factors to large-scale compromises of home routers. Leaving such a password on devices available to the public is a huge security risk.Some devices (such as wireless routers) will come with unique default router username and passwords printed on a sticker, which is a more secure option than a common default password. Some vendors will however derive the password from the device's MAC address using a known algorithm, in which case the password can be also easily reproduced by attackers.

You are a technician in a computer repair shop. A customer has brought in an old (broken) laptop and has asked you to extract the data for use on a new computer. Assuming the hard drive is fully functioning, which of the following methods would most easily allow this?
Copy and burn the data to DVDs
Use FTP to place the data in the cloud
Email the required files to the user
Place the old hard drive in a USB hard drive enclosure
Removing the hard drive from the laptop and using a USB hard drive enclosure would be the easiest solution. The customer can then easily extract the data and use the hard drive as an external USB drive when needed.
A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk, is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored and retrieved in any order. HDDs are a type of non-volatile storage, retaining stored data when powered off. Modern HDDs are typically in the form of a small rectangular box. Introduced by IBM in 1956, HDDs were the dominant secondary storage device for general-purpose computers beginning in the early 1960s. HDDs maintained this position into the modern era of servers and personal computers, though personal computing devices produced in large volume, like cell phones and tablets, rely on flash memory storage devices. More than 224 companies have produced HDDs historically, though after extensive industry consolidation most units are manufactured by Seagate, Toshiba, and Western Digital. HDDs dominate the volume of storage produced (exabytes per year) for servers. Though production is growing slowly (by exabytes shipped), sales revenues and unit shipments are declining because solid-state drives (SSDs) have higher data-transfer rates, higher areal storage density, somewhat better reliability, and much lower latency and access times.The revenues for SSDs, most of which use NAND flash memory, slightly exceeded those for HDDs in 2018.

Which of the following allows network prioritization based on packet contents?
Quality of Service is a networking technique where certain types of traffic are given higher priority than less important traffic. Just like emergency vehicles are given priority on roads, business critical traffic is given higher priority than non-critical traffic.
Quality of service (QoS) is the description or measurement of the overall performance of a service, such as a telephony or computer network, or a cloud computing service, particularly the performance seen by the users of the network. To quantitatively measure quality of service, several related aspects of the network service are often considered, such as packet loss, bit rate, throughput, transmission delay, availability, jitter, etc. In the field of computer networking and other packet-switched telecommunication networks, quality of service refers to traffic prioritization and resource reservation control mechanisms rather than the achieved service quality. Quality of service is the ability to provide different priorities to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. Quality of service is particularly important for the transport of traffic with special requirements. In particular, developers have introduced Voice over IP technology to allow computer networks to become as useful as telephone networks for audio conversations, as well as supporting new applications with even stricter network performance requirements.

Which of the following connector types would not be used as an internal PC component?
BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connectors are used with coaxial cables, found in broadband internet and cable TV. Molex is a connector used between power supplies and internal components like disk drives. SATA and PATA are used to transfer data between components like the motherboard and disk drives.
The BNC connector (initialism of "Bayonet Neill–Concelman") is a miniature quick connect/disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable. It is designed to maintain the same characteristic impedance of the cable, with 50 ohm and 75 ohm types being made. It is usually applied for video and radio frequency connections up to about 2 GHz and up to 500 volts. The connector has a twist to lock design with two lugs in the female portion of the connector engaging a slot in the shell of the male portion. The type was introduced on military radio equipment in the 1940s and has since become widely applied in radio systems, and is a common type of video connector. Similar radio-frequency connectors differ in dimensions and attachment features, and may allow for higher voltages, higher frequencies, or three-wire connections.

Which of the following ports belongs to a standard protocol used to query data from an Active Directory server?
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open-standard protocol used to query directory based databases such as Active Directory. LDAP uses TCP 389 by default.
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP ) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Directory services play an important role in developing intranet and Internet applications by allowing the sharing of information about users, systems, networks, services, and applications throughout the network. As examples, directory services may provide any organized set of records, often with a hierarchical structure, such as a corporate email directory. Similarly, a telephone directory is a list of subscribers with an address and a phone number. LDAP is specified in a series of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Standard Track publications called Request for Comments (RFCs), using the description language ASN.1. The latest specification is Version 3, published as RFC 4511 (a road map to the technical specifications is provided by RFC4510). A common use of LDAP is to provide a central place to store usernames and passwords. This allows many different applications and services to connect to the LDAP server to validate users.LDAP is based on a simpler subset of the standards contained within the X.500 standard. Because of this relationship, LDAP is sometimes called X.500-lite.

You are a desktop technician for a small office. You suspect that a user has opened their desktop PC case and made unauthorized changes to the device's hardware. Which of the following can be configured to identify this in the future?
Host Intrusion Prevention
Host Intrusion Detection
Chassis Intrusion Detection
Chassis Intrusion Detection is an option in for some desktop and BIOS systems that can detect when a computer's case has been opened.
A computer case, also known as a computer chassis, is the enclosure that contains most of the hardware of a personal computer. The components housed inside the case (such as the CPU, motherboard, memory, mass storage devices, power supply unit and various expansion cards) are referred as the internal hardware, while hardware outside the case (typically cable-linked or plug-and-play devices such as the display, speakers, keyboard, mouse and USB flash drives) are known as peripherals. Conventional computer cases are fully enclosed, with small holes (mostly in the back panel) that allow ventilation and cutout openings that provide access to plugs/sockets (back) and removable media drive bays (front). The structural frame (chassis) of a case is usually constructed from rigid metals such as steel (often SECC — steel, electrogalvanized, cold-rolled, coil) and aluminium alloy, with hardpoints for mounting internal hardware, case fans/coolers and for organizing cable management. The external case panels, at least one of which are removable, cover the chassis from the front, sides and top to shield the internal components from physical intrusion and dust collection, and are typically made from painted metallic and/or plastic material, while other materials such as mesh, tempered glass, acrylic, wood and even Lego bricks have appeared in many modern commercial or home-built cases. In recent years, open frame or open air cases that are only partly enclosed (with freer ventilation and thus theoretically better cooling) have become available in the premium gaming PC market.

Which of the following choices is used as a standard measurement when referring to printed media?
Dots per Inch (DPI) is the standard measurement used for printers. It refers to the amount of dots that are placed by the printer in a one inch space. This is similar to Pixels Per Inch (PPI), which is used to measure how many pixels are placed in an inch by a monitor or screen. Aspect/Contrast Ratios are used to compare height and width of paper, monitors, etc. For example 4x1 would be 4 height for every 1 width - this could be 400x100 or 800x200.
Dots per inch (DPI, or dpi) is a measure of spatial printing, video or image scanner dot density, in particular the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of 1 inch (2.54 cm). Similarly, dots per centimetre (d/cm or dpcm) refers to the number of individual dots that can be placed within a line of 1 centimetre (0.394 in).

PALATINE -- It appears Wheeling once again will be Public Enemy No. 1 in the MSL East this season.
An impressive first half goal from Jose Mariscal, a superb finish by Vicente Castro and an own goal gave the reigning conference champs a well deserved 3-0 Mid-Suburban League College Showcase win over Fremd in the league opener for both clubs at the Palatine Celtic Soccer Club grounds in Palatine.
Steve Keller's men showed they could play at the speed of the technically gifted Wildcats (2-0-1) after finally getting themselves into the game after a less than impressive first quarter hour. But the Vikings (0-2-0) lacked the final third sharpness that defined the two league rivals on this night.
"Wheeling is a very good soccer team, (maybe) the best in our conference this year," began Keller, the Fremd manager.
"But we didn't play well at all in the first 15-20 minutes. (They) set the tone with some terrific attacking soccer, and we had little or no answer for it.
"We could have put one or two in at some point, and I'm not here to tell you we would have won if we did. (It's) just that things might have been a little more interesting if we had."
Wheeling entered the game off a five-goal explosion earlier in the week that ended in a 5-5 draw with Cary-Grove. The result left Wheeling manager Kevin Lennon shaking his head. Friday was more to the script.
"We feel like we can score goals this season, but in that game, we gave up some bad goals, especially after we scored," he said. "We knew we had to pay particular attention to that, and for the most part, we did well defending as a team after we scored tonight."
While Fremd was shaky in the early stages, the Wildcats began the game with an invigorating, end-to-end style which immediately put Vikings midfielder Matt Austin and his mates under plenty of pressure.
"We just weren't very good (or) ready at the start. (It) took us awhile to get going on both sides of the ball. But once we did, we played much better, (but) we can be so much better," said the senior, who was the best player going forward on the night for the Vikings.
Wheeling put three on frame in the first 20 minutes with Fremd sophomore keeper Artur Cholewa called into the action for two save opportunities. In addition, Castro, Mariscal and varsity newcomer, Phil Bucko up-top helped insure the Wildcats would surge forward on a handful of forays into the Vikings end.
"We were dispossessed far too easily at times, which showed our lack of experience in the back," Keller said. "And we had so much trouble with our possession during the first part of the first half. (But) we fought hard, and finally figured a few things out as we went along."
An unfortunate own goal gave Wheeling the advantage at 22 minutes, but the bad luck seemed to give the Fremd attack some life.
Austin's left-footed blast went wide but was a good look on frame nonetheless. A few moments later, Max Mayer forced Wheeling keeper Jonathan Ayala to save.
Mariscal continued to be one of the brightest players for the Wildcats as halftime approached. When the big forward barreled into the box to the spot, he met a superb cross from Jared Urueta for a 2-0 lead three minutes from intermission.
"We can't let those types of things happen, and that's where seniors like me have to pull our weight and play better and smarter," said Austin.
Keller deploy defensive midfielder Jake Schoffstall into a more advanced spot from just in front of his backline, and the big sophomore's ability to win balls and distribute helped jumpstart the Vikings attack, while slowing Wheeling closer to the speed limit.
Fremd's clearest opportunities arrived just minutes into the second period.
That's when Dalton Rogers, Ryan Cox and Schoffstall each had a half-chance at Ayala after Austin raced up the right side at full speed to beat a trio of defenders and unlock the Wildcats in their own end.
Jake Scesniak headed a shot over the bar following a long throw from Schoffstall in the 53rd minute, but the attempt awoke a sleepy Wildcats attack which was quiet for its longest stretch of the night.
Miguel Rodriguez and Bucko helped create a freekick, then a corner, before a timely tackle from Ben Cuthbert ended a dazzling, clever run-and-carry into the box by Castro.
Nobody in a green shirt could do a thing when, in a moment of brilliance, Castro made it 3-0 on a highlight film left-footer from 16 yards at 65 minutes.
The Wheeling senior earned Chicagoland Soccer's Man of the Match honor for his efforts following this game.
The determined Fremd club did not fold and continued to push forward until this well-played, and well-officiated game came to an end.
Scesniak nearly caught up on the end of a long throw-in the box, while Austin, with a helper from Max Clark, saw his chance to strike end when Ayala bravely came off his line in the 73rd minute.
"We'll get better, and figure things out. (Keller) will make sure of it," said Austin afterwards.
Keller concluded: "We matched the speed of play of Wheeling at times, and looked pretty good doing so. But they are intelligent, crafty, and very dangerous. And we learned a few things about ourselves tonight that we'll address as we go forward."
Fremd opens pool play in the Best of the West Invitational against Benet on Tuesday in Naperville. Wheeling travels to the 32nd annual Jim Wolter Titans Invitational next week at Glenbrook South.

The Henry Draper Medal is awarded every four years and is presented with a $25,000 prize. The Medal honors a recent, original investigation in astronomical physics, of importance and benefit to science to merit such recognition. "Recent" is defined as a major publication resulting from the investigation should have appeared since the last presentation of the award (2017).
Henry Draper was a NAS Member, medical doctor, and amateur astronomer. Draper was a pioneer of astrophotography – a specialized type of photography for recording images of astronomical objects and large areas of the night sky. In 1873, Draper resigned from his medical career to focus solely on astronomy. He directed an expedition to photograph the 1874 transit of Venus, and was the first to photograph the Orion Nebula, on September 30, 1880. In addition to this award, a small lunar crater is also named after Henry Draper.
Barry C. Barish and Stanley E. Whitcomb received the 2017 Henry Draper Medal. Together, Barish and Whitcomb led the large and talented team that built the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). LIGO's twin 4-kilometer-long detectors, in Louisiana and Washington, made the 2015 discovery of gravitational waves from colliding black holes, directly validating Einstein's 100-year-old prediction of gravitational waves and ushering in a new field of gravitational wave astronomy.
Barish joined LIGO at a crucial time in 1994. As LIGO director, his experience with large, high-energy physics experiments made him uniquely suited to balance conflicting needs as the scientifically challenging tabletop-scale project grew to a robust multi-kilometer experimental facility. He conceived and created two related entities: the LIGO Laboratory, which managed, designed, built, operated, and maintained the LIGO instruments while carrying out needed research; and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), which expanded the research team by drawing in more than 1,000 researchers from around the world, thereby enabling the project's success.
The Henry Draper Medal is the oldest Medal that is presently awarded by the National Academy of Sciences. It was first awarded in 1886 to Samuel P. Langley for "numerous investigations of a high order of merit in solar physics, and especially in the domain of radiant energy." After receiving this award, Langley continued to have an amazingly accomplished career in astronomy and aviation. Langley served as the third Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, where he founded the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Air and sea craft, facilities, a unit of solar radiation, and an award have been named in Langley's honor.
Honoring Barish and Whitcomb, on behalf of the LIGO collaboration, for their visionary and pivotal leadership roles, scientific guidance, and novel instrument design during the development of LIGO that were crucial for LIGO's discovery of gravitational waves from colliding black holes, thus directly validating Einstein's 100-year-old prediction of gravitational waves and ushering a new field of gravitational wave astronomy.

Super Bowl Challenge
Jeff Reinebold & Brian Baldinger break down the Seattle Seahawks' needs
The Seahawks must decide whether or not to bring back Jadeveon Clowney during the offseason as he prepares to hit free agency
Last Updated: 16/01/20 5:51pm
Jadeveon Clowney was traded to the Seahawks by the Houston Texans in August in exchange for Jacob Martin, Barkevious Mingo, and a third-round draft pick
Jeff Reinebold and Brian Baldinger are predicting a big offseason for the Seattle Seahawks following their Divisional Round elimination in the playoffs.
The Seahawks' season came to end on Sunday as they were beaten 28-23 by the Green Bay Packers despite Russell Wilson leading a late fightback.
Pete Carroll's side ranked eighth on offense during the regular season, with doubts over their Super Bowl credentials having predominantly surrounded their 26th-ranked defense.
Speaking on this week's edition of Inside the Huddle, Reinebold said: "When you look at the Seahawks, when I study the Seahawks I see this on defense - too many chunk plays against.
"So I think they've got to improve in the secondary, that's not the Legion of Boom back there anymore.
"I think on the other side of the football, you see a quarterback (Wilson) that is one of the most elusive in the National Football League, he's running for his life trying to make plays.
Wilson was 21 of 31 for 277 yards and one touchdown against the Packers, as well as rushing for a team-high 64 yards
"They've got to find a way to improve the offensive line and we've said that for 10 years."
The Seahawks were unfortunate with injuries heading into the playoffs, with the loss of running backs Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny and C.J. Prosise prompting the emergency return of veterans Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin.
Watch highlights of the Seahawks' defeat to the Packers
Baldinger added: "They had lost [offensive tackle] Duane Brown, they lost a lot of players up front, their two starting running backs, they lost their young tight end Will Dissly, he had four touchdowns in his first few weeks.
"They've lost a lot. Teams have to overcome that so you're looking at depth.

"If it wasn't for Jadeveon Clowney in certain games they really had no pass rush. Ziggy Ansah was invisible, L.J. Collier did not develop, he was the (Seahawks') No 1 draft pick.
"When they put the Legion of Boom together, which was a great defense, they also had great pass rushers. They had three guys that could get after the quarterback."
Ahead of Packers at San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, find out the key stats, players and stories
Clowney's future promises to be a key discussion for the Seahawks during the offseason as the defensive end prepares to become an unrestricted free agent.
The 26-year-old was nursing a core muscle injury during the latter stages of the season and it remains to be seen whether Seattle are prepared to stump up what is likely to be a hefty contract.
New era in New England?
With coaches departing, an earliest exit from the post-season since 2010 and doubts over the future of Tom Brady - we ask what's next for the New England Patriots?
"I think they've got a real tough decision to make there," added Reinebold.
"The thing that concerns me about Clowney is not his ability, because you can see where he can take over a game. It's his availability, not this ability.

Panthers' great Kuechly retires aged 28
Chargers great Antonio Gates retires
Baldinger continued: "They're paying the quarterback, that affects how you spend your money.
"I don't believe they're going to bring him back, because he's the first pick of the draft and it's going to be expensive."

This year we are counting down to Christmas with Christmas children's books! The idea is that every day leading up to Christmas we unwrap one book and read it together.
When my youngest child, Molly, was 5 years old, an elderly friend took our family to the Dollar Store. For Christmas, she wanted to treat each of our children to five things from the store; five things of their choice.
The second aisle was filled with toys! By the time we were two steps into the aisle, Molly had picked three more things. She was excited about the five things she had picked out.
A minute later one of her sisters found something fun on the shelf and said, "Look Molly! Look at this! You should pick this instead!" She reluctantly chose that toy instead of one of the items already in her arms.
This pattern continued up and down every aisle. Either I asked Molly if she was sure, or one of her sisters persuaded her to pick something else. Once we had finished browsing up and down every aisle, we checked out, and went home happy with our purchases –or so I thought.

Packed away in my tote of fall decorations is a little brown blank book that came from the dollar store. Warmth spreads through my heart when I flip open the cover and see handprints, doodles, and scrawled words inside.
Each year for the past 11 years our family has taken some time on Thanksgiving Day to write or draw what we are thankful for. Each family member gets one page. Even the babies and toddlers participate by having their hand traced. Then either my husband or I jot down a few things the little one is really into at the moment.
In an effort to get my heart ready for Thanksgiving I wanted to read about the times that Jesus had given thanks to God. I found that most of the time when the Bible says that Jesus was giving thanks it was in the context of mealtime. I can resonate with that! Our family already says a prayer out loud before our dinner time together.
I chose five of those Scripture passages to study and from that study, I put together a five-day devotional. My prayer is that the devotional helps you fine-tune your heart of thankfulness since that is something we think about in the fall as Thanksgiving Day draws near.

P.S. Receiving the devotional will also subscribe you to readthehardparts.com, a new online community of Christians who encourage each other to read the hard parts of Scripture.

Halloween is coming soon! In our family, my husband, Tim, takes the kids around to Trick or Treat in the neighborhood. I gladly stay home and hand out candy. A lot of the kids know me since I stand at the school bus stop with my kids and try to be a friendly face for all the kids' morning.
Every year, I hand out a gospel message of some kind along with a big handful of candy. I had success finding good Trick or Treat tracts the first couple years.


Bowl number 5388 is a hand turned bowl made from an Amboyna Burl Cap. Each of my bowls are signed, numbered and dated (year). They are finished with a friction polish that's applied while still on the lathe.
This bowl measures 5 3/4″ across and is 1 5/8″ high.
Narra (the tree that Amboyna burl comes from) grows extensively in the Philippines, Borneo, New Guinea, Cagayan, Mindoro, Palawan, Cotabato and the Malay Archipelago. When in the burl form, Narra's wood is usually referred to as Amboyna burl — that name coming from Amboyna Island, another place the trees can be found.
