For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
God is a focal point in the Black community. Spirituality, belief and faith are all interconnected and this is due to a long history between religion and Blacks that goes back further than slavery. Although slavery was definitely one of the American institutions that helped to forge and solidify the strong relationships between loving God and being Black. Research has shown that even African Tribes had some form of spiritual belief system that they followed. Spirituality is such a essential experience in a Black person's life that even the discussion of those in society who chose to follow a creed of Atheism is a subject of disgust and ridicule. Both Black men and women are serious about Jesus.
However, in my opinion I would say that history has proven that Black women are usually the spiritual leaders in the homes. They are the ones who make sure everyone not only attends church but is active in church and forges a relationship with God from the time they are kids until adulthood. Statistics have also shown that in most Christian churches the women outnumber the men greatly. Therefore it makes complete sense that when a Black woman is asked what are the characteristics she would like in a mate? She unquestionably includes "God- fearing" as number one on her list. Never mind if Pookie sells a little crack here and there to support his Jordan and big car rim habit. Having said that, how many of you would ever date an atheist?
Now keep in mind that I am not asking you would you become an atheist, I am asking you would you be open to dating or even marrying an atheist? Many women would say no and claim that an atheist man would undoubtedly be immoral, a cheater, abuser, there would be no connection between him and her and so on. Playing Devil's advocate here, I want you to consider the fact that men of all races, religious backgrounds cheat. There is no guarantee that states that just because a man is a Christian and loves the Lord that he won't love the ladies and he will never cheat on you and will always love and treat you well. Take a look at Bishop Eddie Long as an example. He is living proof that Religious people can also be highly immoral as well so being religious is not a guarantee either. Christians also get divorces when their marriage dissolves.
So basically, there is no absolute way to know for a fact that because you are dating a man that says he is a Christian or perhaps exhibits traits of one, that your relationship will indeed stand the test of time. On that note, my questions to you again is: Would you date an atheist? Would you marry one? What if he was good to you and he loved you dearly? What if he never required you to stop believing in the Lord? What if he respected your relationship with God?
There are women who would date a cheater, a criminal, an abuser, a drug dealer, a lazy guy with a bunch of damn kids by different women, or even a murderer rather than a straight laced, moral, hard working atheist who respected others, respected women, loved her dirty panties (figuratively) and was law abiding. You know I'm right too. But do you see the hypocrisy in it? Why? We all know of at least one Preacher, Reverend etc who was all about the Lord on Sundays and all about the ladies, outside of his wife the rest of the week. We also all know of a Preacher or Reverend who either did illegal or immoral activities or even stole from his own loyal church congregation. In the end, money was his God.
God has nothing to do with his moral obligations. Religion also does not guarantee one's moral compass. On another hand, some women would not want to date an atheist because they assume that because their beliefs are so drastically different from the guy's, he would mock them. Perhaps he would poke fun at her spirituality or at her praying. But what if he respected and accepted your relationship with God? Would that make you accept his beliefs more? There also might be the fear that because he is an atheist, that automatically makes him immoral, debauched, evil, etc.. But, religion of any sort does not assure that a person will have a set of morals and will chose to abide by them. It is a personal decision as to whether you will "do the right thing" in this world as my mother puts it. Even I am not sure of how I feel about this one. Ladies, would you date an atheist man? If not, what are your reasons for not?

I am sorry but his post is dumb as hell.
I didn't read all this. But I agree with Tone. I'd date an athetist before I would a drug dealer.
What! Is these our choices in men now? If so,,, I'm gonna marry my mama.
@OLD SPICE PINE NEEDLE....forreal this is ridiculous.
lol ya are a mess...i was on facebook a few months ago and someone asked the question would you date an atheist and the majority of people said no they wouldnt date an atheist. i would date one

All summer we have been monitoring developments in the transfer window but on Tuesday evening the deadline passed, with a number of Premier League clubs scrambling to get their business done.
Now that the dust has settled on another transfer window, and with the nation's press turning away from matters of recruitment, it is time to assess which managers experienced the warm glow of capturing their number one targets and which felt the cold chill of rejection all too frequently.
Below is our club-by-club guide to the summer transfer window, detailing all the big moves and handing each manager a very arbitrary rating out of ten for their efforts.
Remember, On the Move will return in January when the transfer window reopens to another flood of rumours, speculation and gossip.
Wish list: A commanding defender, an authoritative midfielder and another forward.
Arsene Wenger finally ended his search for a centre-back with real presence when signing Thomas Vermaelen to replace Kolo Toure. Otherwise the Frenchman was typically prudent and early performances seem to have justified his faith in his current crop of players. They may yet regret not making a signing in the Patrick Vieira mould, or indeed the man himself.
Rating: 6/10.
Wish list: A replacement for Gareth Barry and heavy investment in defence to counter the loss of Martin Laursen.
Martin O'Neill waited until transfer deadline day to sign a new centre-back but then two arrived at once in the form of James Collins and, fingers crossed, Richard Dunne. Habib Beye and Stephen Warnock add further strength in depth at the back but it remains to be seen if the arrivals of Stewart Downing and Fabian Delph will compensate for Barry's departure to Manchester City.
Rating: 6/10.
Wish list: Premier League experience and widespread investment in all areas of the pitch.
Alex McLeish enjoyed a busy summer when signing no less than ten players, but are they of the quality required in the Premier League? Club record signing Christian Benitez has shown glimpses of ability while Teemu Tainio, Joe Hart, Barry Ferguson and Lee Bowyer offer that much-needed top flight experience. Roger Johnson, a £5m signing from Cardiff, is facing a big step up from the lower leagues.
Rating: 5/10.
Wish list: Replacements for Roque Santa Cruz and Stephen Warnock.
Sam Allardyce clearly felt right-back was a problem position given he signed three in Michel Salgado, Pascal Chimbonda and Lars Jacobsen. However, Chimbonda is likely to play at left-back as a replacement for Warnock. Rovers need £6m signing Nikola Kalinic and loan arrival Franco Di Santo to impress, and quickly, if they are to dispel fears regarding a lack of potency in front of goal.
Rating: 4/10.
Wish list: A prolific goalscorer and an injection of youth.
Gary Megson held onto last season's key men, Matt Taylor and Kevin Davies, and was able to add experienced Premier League performers like Sean Davis, Zat Knight and Paul Robinson. However, goals will once again be a problem if the imaginative loan signing of Ivan Klasnic from Nantes fails to pay dividends.
Rating: 4/10.
Wish list: Strengthening in all areas and some real quality.
The signing of former Real Madrid target Steven Fletcher aside, it was a relatively low key transfer window for Owen Coyle who ended the summer by capturing David Nugent on transfer deadline day. Early indications are that existing squad members such as Robbie Blake and Brian Jensen will play a key role in their survival campaign. After all, they haven't started too badly. They do look much improved in defence with Andre Bikey and Tyrone Mears arriving.
Rating: 6/10.
Wish list: An eye-catching world superstar and keeping hold of key players.
Despite persistent rumours linking Chelsea with the likes of Franck Ribery and Sergio Aguero, the headline signing never arrived with £18m Yuri Zhirkov the club's only major capture. Daniel Sturridge also looks a good signing from Manchester City but Chelsea's most significant activity was retaining the likes of Didier Drogba and John Terry.
Rating: 6/10.
Wish list: A replacement for Joleon Lescott and a new striker.
David Moyes may have fought tooth and nail to keep Lescott, without success, but having driven the hardest of bargains he somehow convinced Manchester City to part with £24m, making the England international one of the most expensive defenders of all time. Moyes has used the windfall wisely in recruiting Johnny Heitinga and Sylvain Distin to strengthen his defence and adding talented Russian midfielder Diniyar Bilalyetdinov. Jo has also returned on loan from City to supply goals.
Rating: 7/10.
Wish list: Strength in depth in all areas and keeping key players.
Roy Hodgson has comprehensively changed the composition of the Fulham squad in the past couple of seasons but this summer proved a quieter one as he reinforced for the demands of the Europa League. Cut-price acquisitions like Damien Duff, David Elm, Jonathan Greening, Bjorn Helge Riise and Stephen Kelly all add depth while Brede Hangeland remains a Fulham player despite interest from Arsenal.
Rating: 6/10.
Wish list: A new striker, strength in depth in all areas and retaining key players.
After failed pursuits for Michael Owen, Fraizer Campbell, Darren Bent and Alvaro Negredo, Phil Brown finally bolstered his attack with the signings of Jozy Altidore from Villarreal and Kamel Ghilas from Celta Vigo, and the two appear to have struck up a quick rapport. Stephen Hunt has also added quality in midfield but the likes of Paul McShane and Ibrahima Sonko are unlikely to prove adequate replacements for Michael Turner following his £12 move to Sunderland.
Rating: 5/10.
Wish list: A replacement for Xabi Alonso, a new right-back and some creativity in wide positions.
With reports of financial restrictions at Anfield and key man Alonso joining Real Madrid against Rafa Benitez's wishes, it was a very difficult transfer window for the Reds and they look weaker for it. Glen Johnson has added real impetus on the right-hand side but Alonso's replacement, Alberto Aquilani, is still injured and Sotirios Kyrgiakos was hardly a signing to get supporters enthused.
Rating: 2/10.
Wish list: Star players in every position except in goal.
Prior to the summer transfer window it was fairly outlandish to think Manchester City could be a real threat to the top four but it is testament to their activity that such an ambition no longer appears out of the question. Mark Hughes managed to take key players away from Arsenal and Manchester United, with signings such as Lescott, Gareth Barry and Sylvinho complementing the headline arrivals of Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Adebayor and Carlos Tevez. In short, £120m well spent.
Rating: 9/10.
Wish list: A creative midfielder, a pacy striker and a figure capable of replacing Ronaldo.
One move cast a huge shadow over Manchester United's summer dealings, and it wasn't Richard Eckersley's transfer to Burnley. Once a fax arrived at Carrington with Real Madrid's £80m offer on it, Ronaldo was gone and the search to replace him began. Few United fans could have anticipated then that Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia, Gabriel Obertan and Mame Biram Diouf would be the limit of their summer recruitment drive and the wisdom of signing Owen is yet to be determined. A mixed start to the season will not have convinced doubters that Ronaldo has been adequately replaced.
Rating: 3/10.
Wish list: A whole new squad to replace those players leaving.
Portsmouth certainly succeeded in their aim of bringing in fresh faces with Sulaiman Al Fahim's takeover proving the late catalyst for a recruitment drive that resulted in no less than 13 new signings. Tal Ben-Haim, Kevin-Price Boateng and Anthony Vanden Borre head a list of Premier League journey men, lower league talents and foreign imports so Paul Hart has quite a job on his hands in trying to forge a cohesive team. The likes of Peter Crouch, Sylvain Distin and Glen Johnson had to be sacrificed to calm the club's financial problems and will be tough to replace.
Rating: 5/10.
Wish list: A quality partner for James Beattie and signings to take the club onto a higher level.
It was quite simply a superb summer transfer window for Tony Pulis. The signing of Tuncay Sanli from Middlesbrough was a real statement of intent and Dean Whitehead, Danny Collins and Robert Huth also look to be canny acquisitions. As well as spending £20m, Stoke also retained the services of highly-rated defender Ryan Shawcross, ensuring they approach a season they have started well with real confidence and growing expectations.
Rating: 8/10.
Wish list: An accomplished striker and quality all over the pitch.
Just like Stoke, Sunderland's summer manoeuvres appear to have elevated the club to a higher standing with signings like Darren Bent, Lee Cattermole and Lorik Cana catching the eye. Ellis Short's money has given Steve Bruce the chance to build an impressive squad and the Wearsiders should boast a mean defence following the signings of John Mensah from Lyon and Michael Turner from Hull City.
Rating: 8/10.
Wish list: Reinforcements at centre-back and, on transfer deadline day, a replacement for the injured Luka Modric.
Harry Redknapp's mythical transfer skills were not really in evidence this summer as he signed two players he previously recruited at Portsmouth, Niko Kranjcar and Peter Crouch, Sebastien Bassong from Newcastle United and two young defenders from Sheffield United in Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker. Kranjcar is the perfect replacement for Modric but will Bassong be enough to address Tottenham's defensive issues? Spurs have started the season superbly but Redknapp missed out on Anton Ferdinand and Martin Petrov on transfer deadline day.
Rating: 7/10.
Wish list: A new striker to partner Carlton Cole and a few bargains.
Largely restricted to loans and smaller signings, Gianfranco Zola managed his resources well and even managed to cling onto Matthew Upson despite interest from Fiorentina. La Viola did take Savio off his hands in a part exchange deal for Manuel da Costa though, while other shopping trips to Italy yielded Inter Milan reserve playmaker Luis Jimenez and Livorno striker Alessandro Diamanti. The sale of James Collins to Aston Villa on transfer deadline day financed much of Zola's work.
Rating: 6/10.
Wish list: Replacements for key players, midfield creativity.
Armed with over £20m following the sales of Antonio Valencia and Lee Cattermole, Roberto Martinez opted to spread his money around when signing seven new players. Playmaker Jordi Gomez and striker Jason Scotland followed the manager from Swansea to Wigan while Martinez relied on his Spanish contacts to sign Antonio Amaya and Mohamed Diame from Rayo Vallecano. The capture of Hamilton wonderkid James McCarthy also looks a clever purchase, but it remains to be seen whether the new arrivals will adapt to the Premier League.
Rating: 6/10.
Wish list: Quality in all areas.
Wolves have not been afraid to spend money following their promotion with Mick McCarthy breaking the club's transfer record to sign Kevin Doyle from Reading for £6.5m. Segundo Castillo and Nenad Milijas have both arrived from Red Star Belgrade and the latter, in particular, looks an exciting acquisition. Stefan Maierhofer adds presence up front and Michael Mancienne has returned on loan from Chelsea but the likes of Andrew Surman and Greg Halford have it all to prove.
Rating: 6/10.

Less than stellar state transportation funding outcome has 3 bright spots
The transportation funding package Gov. Snyder signed into law on Tuesday brought a disappointing end to the years-long debate over how to raise much-needed funding for Michigan's transportation system.
The approved package has many serious failures. For example:
- It only guarantees $600 million in new, dedicated revenue for our transportation system—far from the $1.2 billion the package claims to generate. The other half of the funding increase depends on projected general fund growth and relies on future legislators to appropriate that money to our roads versus other priority state programs with growing fiscal needs. It's far from certain that such revenue growth will occur, or that future lawmakers will come up with the remaining funds when faced with other important demands on the general fund.
- Any money appropriated from the general fund will go to roads only, and will not add to the Comprehensive Transportation Fund (CTF), which supports local bus agencies and passenger rail.
- Furthermore, funding increases will be slowly phased in over the next six years. The short of it: Don't expect to see major improvements to our crumbling roads and bridges anytime soon.
Still, despite the well-deserved criticism of the outcome, there are a few bright spots worth highlighting:
1. New money for public transit. For the first time since 1987, the CTF will see a structural increase in funding. (By structural increase, we mean an increased slice of the transportation-funding pie. Transit may have seen overall increases in some years, but only because the pie itself grew, due to more fuel purchased or other factors.)
All new revenue from the 20 percent increase in vehicle registration fees and a 7.3-cent increase in the fuel tax (but not the general fund revenue) will pass through the full Act 51 formula, which means the CTF will get its fair share of the funding. In several previous iterations of this package, the CTF was completely cut out of any increase.
The CTF will see $35 million in new funding beginning in 2016. The new revenue will continue to grow through 2021, when the increase levels off at $54.6 million per year—a 22 percent increase over current funding levels. The DNR recreation fund, another pot of money within the Act 51 formula that supports trails and waterways, will grow by $6.5 million per year by 2021.

METAIRIE, La. -- It's hard to picture any back surgery being "minor." Especially when the guy going under the knife is such a major part of the New Orleans Saints' plans.
But Saints coach Sean Payton sounded confident that safety Jairus Byrd will be fully healed in time for training camp and the start of the regular season -- stressing that they wouldn't have done the surgery if they didn't think the timetable made sense.
Hopefully that's the case, for the Saints' sake. Because Byrd is the centerpiece of their biggest push on defense this offseason -- to force more turnovers.
The Saints signed Byrd to a six-year, $54 million deal on the first day of free agency because of his prowess as a ball hawk. Byrd's 22 interceptions over the past five years with the Buffalo Bills ranked second in the NFL. And the three-time Pro Bowler also forced 11 fumbles during that stretch.
The Saints' defense was outstanding last year under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, ranking fourth in the NFL in yards allowed and points allowed and second in pass defense. However, they came up virtually empty when it came to forcing turnovers.
The Saints forced only four turnovers over the final 11 games of last season, including zero in two playoff games.
"That was a glaring weakness last year on our defense," Ryan said. "I think the effort was outstanding, our players are outstanding, we did pretty decent as a unit. But we want to be great. And to be great, you have to take the ball away."
It's been a huge priority for the Saints this offseason -- starting with the acquisition of players like Byrd and cornerback Champ Bailey. And it has clearly carried over to the practice field.
Defensive players were constantly trying to strip the ball away during Thursday's OTA session that was open to the media. Safety Rafael Bush and cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste each forced a fumble by knocking the ball away from receivers during full-team drills. And Bailey forced an interception by batting the ball free from receiver Kenny Stills and into the arms of linebacker Kyle Knox.
Ryan said coaches have been showing players highlight reels of longtime Chicago Bears standout defensive back Charles "Peanut" Tillman -- one of the best in the league at forcing turnovers over the past decade.
"He was a Ragin' Cajun, wasn't he [at Louisiana-Lafayette]? I like that there," Ryan said of Tillman. "He's great to watch, so we've been trying to imitate him. Imitation is the biggest form of flattery.
"So we enjoy doing that. We're working hard on that. We know we have to improve on that. Seattle won the Super Bowl; they took the ball away more than anybody. They raised the bar, so we have to match it."
Saints outside linebacker Victor Butler -- another new weapon at their disposal now that he has returned from a knee injury that kept him out all of last season -- said players are fired up about forcing turnovers.
"That's the great thing about Coach Ryan and about the guys here," said Butler, who followed Ryan from the Dallas Cowboys to New Orleans. "When Coach Ryan says something is important, guys take it to heart. We've had guys attacking the ball, punching the ball out, ripping the ball out, stripping it, going up for interceptions, picking up loose balls on the ground.
"If you emphasize it that much in OTAs and camps and stuff like that, when it gets to the season, now it's second nature. Guys are going for the ball, guys are creating those turnovers and getting Drew Brees and that offense as many opportunities to score points as we can."

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 91 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hermes Useful, well built, pleasing appearance This hose pot is sturdy yet still light weight. It blends in the garden setting well and does its job of allowing the coiled hose to be hidden yet easily accessible. I had to drill small holes in the bottom to allow accumulated water out. Otherwise it is well priced and I expect it will last a lifetime if well cared for. April 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Seabrook Perfect Order came quickly and was exactly what I wanted. Looks great by the pool; fits in with the surroundings. I am able to water all my plants, replace the lid and no one knows that it is a hose pot. May 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by flwrpeep Excellent Hose Pot After reading the reviews I decided to purchase this hose pot to replace another one that had rusted out (ordered from a different company). I found the green color ok, not "too" green and it blends in well with the yard. I don't think a 100ft hose will fit in there very well, but all in all, I like the material and the fact that it has a lid. Great idea! June 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JFinNV So far so good! I was surprised at how lightweight and how much smaller this appeared than I pictured (though I could have read the dimensions had that been a concern!). But it fits and looks good where I wanted it. I'm still not entirely clear on what 'stonecast'' is...heavier than hardened foam, lighter than resin. I'm sure the base will be weighted down by the hose, though it gets really windy here so we'll see if the lid stays put! I had read other reviews and was fine with it being more green than pictured, and didn't have too large a hose, as that seems to be an issue for some, so it works just fine for me! This is my first buy from Grandin Road, and it's been good up to this point... As long as it holds up and doesn't blow away, I'll be happy with my purchase. August 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by myska hose pot A really good looking addition to my front patio. Good construction & color; exactly as shown. September 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alphabets great puchase I really like this and my 30ft hose fits well, The product it is made of is very substantial but light. It looks great on my patio. I think the inside of the lid should be hollow for an easier fit but I'm still glad I got it. September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SandyClaus Perfect! This hose pot looks great on our lanai. It's not too heavy (like some I looked at) but still substantial. Probably would not hold 100 feet of hose but adequate for 75 feet. September 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jeans beaded stonecast hose pot Absolutely perfect color and size. I love the fact that it has a lid as it sits in my entryway. September 18, 2012

Answer:Thank you for your interest in the Beaded Stonecast Hose Pot. There is nothing to cause the hose to retract, you will have to re-coil the hose after each use. The side opening is to allow easy access to connect to a spigot.

The rough pencil hatching in this drawing initially distracts from the rhythmic repetition of the six blue crayon forms. Schwitters was fascinated by the relationship between chance and order. Here, the contrast between the more random pencil marks and the carefully defined blue forms can be seen as an exploration of that relationship.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: While he's usually a jerkass, Stuart congratulates Marla on both her wedding and pregnancy, and even gives her $100 as a gift for the former.
** Cooper working 70 hour weeks just to be able to afford to take Val to New York to see a musical on Broadway. Made all the sweeter by the fact that poor Cooper isn't well off at all.
** Marla and Scott making up after an argument about getting married. The arc leading up to the reconciliation also contained a bonus heartwarmer in the form of Cooper taking it upon himself to talk to Scott about the situation, noting that Marla is "like my big sister."
* JerkassWoobie: Marla's new assistant, Brice Tanner, can come off as this sometimes.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: One storyline had Grumbel's being forced to layoff employees due to massive budget cuts. Stuart, of course, planned on using this as an excuse to get rid of Cooper (even telling him to "[[{{Jerkass}} don't let the door hit your rear on the way out]]" when he gave him the pink slip). What happened next is that Lunker flipped out and pretty much ''threatened'' Stuart into letting Cooper keep the job by splitting the hours. Stuart, scared shitless, agreed and immediately ran out. Lunker is probably the only employee at Grumbel's who has ever intimidated Stuart, but then again, Lunker's a huge, super-strong guy.
** Lunker has an off screen moment of awesome when faced with someone who was trying to rob the gas station he and Cooper were working at. The guy had a knife, yet ended up in hospital with broken ribs.
* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The health care plotline in 2008 depicted the fate of most US service workers by showing Cooper facing medical bankruptcy after a hospital trip due to the fact that most retail workers (as part-timers) do not qualify for and cannot afford health insurance.
* WomenAreWiser: For the first several years of the strip, women in positions of authority (Marla, Val, Connie, Lara) were always portrayed positively, as intelligent, caring, sensible, and fair-minded leaders. By contrast, men in positions of authority were all depicted negatively - Stuart and Josh are arrogant Corporate stooges, Jerry a misogynist, Gary insisted on holding annoying and useless training seminars, and Bradley a gloating, insufferable jerkass who tried to steal his competitor's employees.
** As of late 2013, this trend has diminished somewhat, with Cooper's promotion to stockroom supervisor and the introduction of the Delman's managers, the sympathetic Greg and the manipulative backstabber, Mina. Additionally, in 2014, the Grumbel's got a competent, non-prickish male assistant manager in Arthur (in an early interaction with Marla, Marla realizes that Arthur basically is what she was as AM).

Well hello there. I've got this 1.6 which looks way cool in its Crystal case. i had it modded, and since i was cheap, i went with an Aladdin XT instead of a more recent chip. but i seem to be paying the price now. i have the most annoying time ever trying to flash the BIOS...since i haven't found one that doesn't cause my Xbox to lock up with the Aladdin in. i asked the dude who modded my Xbox, and he said that it might help if i go for the Xenium...i like the onboard OS idea. he's offering the chip for the difference in price between the Aladdin and the Xenium.
is it worth my time? my Xbox has become almost unplayable with most games because it locks up so often.
Will A A Xenium Ice Solve My Problems?

if you buy it, see if you can get a lpc rebuild kit, for itthe 1.6 are diffrent and there might be some sodering involved, cant say for sure, just check out some tuts on it
the xenium ice is a good chip, i'm very sadisfied with mine
the xenium ice is a good chip, i'm very sadisfied with mine

I would go with the Xenium Ice if the price difference is not too much. If the guy who installed your xbox see if he has the lcp rebuild in stock other wise use wire wrap wire to rebuild the lcp. Definately the Xenium has alot of kewl feature in it too.
Edited by Sabre22, 10 December 2004 - 01:19 PM.
Posted 10 December 2004 - 09:37 PM
Definitly go for the xenium ice. There was one really long post somewhere about 1.6's and having to install a small resistor on the mobo in order to stop too much current going through one wire. If this wasn't done then the box wouldn't live too long (a year was the estimate). It was said though that the Xenium ice did not suffer from this problem. I'm not sure how the aladdin does but just to be safe i'd go xenium. Plus there awesome lil chips If I was wrong about the resistor, you guys can go a head and correct me, i know there has been a lot of controversy going on about it.

The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs begin this week and each first round matchup looks to provide entertaining hockey.
If that's not enough for fans though, it also is the beginning of the league-wide Beard-A-Thon. It's a tradition in the NHL once the playoffs start to not shave until either your team loses or wins the Cup.
It's always fun to see which players will grow the biggest and best beards and the ones who can barely grow anything (we're looking at you Alexander Semin).
Then, there's the in-betweens: the players that grow some, but it comes in patchy areas (Sidney Crosby being the obvious example of this).
This list is going to focus on the fullest beards: the guys who look like they could step off the ice and onto a Brawny label.
Here are 20 players who will grow awesome playoff beards this year.

Scottish singer's Christmas collection holds on to No. 1 spot
With nothing even close to a challenger in sight, Susan Boyle's "The Gift" sat tight at the top of the U.S. album chart last week.
The Scottish vocalist's Christmas collection sold 243,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures for the week ended Sunday, Dec. 12. The Columbia set declined 10% but still had enough muscle to maintain its lock on No. 1.
Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" (Big Machine) held steady at No. 2, rising 10% with a 201,000-unit week. Thanks to the album's strong start of more than 1 million units its first week, Swift's sales cume has now topped 2.3 million.
The "Glee" cast's "The Music: Christmas" (Columbia) saw a hearty 49% gain last week and rose one position to No. 3, moving 193,000. The Fox show continues to account for two entries in the top 10.
T.I.'s "No Mercy" (Atlantic) was one of only two albums to bow in the top 10 for the week. Collection arrived at No. 4 with first-week sales of 159,000. His previous three releases all entered at No. 1.
Solid-but-not-great debut is probably cold comfort for the troubled rapper: T.I. was recently returned to prison for 11 months after a probation violation on a prior weapons charge conviction.
Holdovers with softening sales filled out the next five chart slots: Jackie Evancho's "O Holy Night" (No. 5, 149,000 units sold, up 3%), Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" (No. 6, 82,000, down 21%), Josh Groban's "Illuminations" (No. 7, 75,000, off 3%), "Glee: The Music, Vol. 4" (No. 8, 74,000, down 42%) and Rihanna's "Loud" (No. 9, 71,000, off 8%).
The Daft Punk soundtrack for Disney's much-hyped "Tron Legacy" (Disney/Buena Vista) crept in at No. 10 with 71,000 sold. Set could get a bump next week after pic's Friday opening.
Michael Jackson's posthumous popularity will be put to the test on the next frame, as "Michael," the collection of unreleased tracks, reached stores this week.

Ask me if I want some boiled fish for dinner, and I may think you crazy. But invite me to a fish boil, and I'm there. There's something irresistable about regional food traditions, especially when they involve a big lake, a bonfire and lots of melted butter.
Northport (at the tip of Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula) brought back its "world famous" fish boil over Labor Day weekend, and crowds ate up the meal and the atmosphere, highlighted by a sparkling bay, the huge gas-powered boilers and the potato lady, who made even the serving line fun with her, "one potato, two?" routine.
|Watch the slideshow or listen to the podcast.
Try one of these recipes, one from an upscale B&B from the other side of the lake, and the other, a handy way to feed the whole town.

Khan Confident He Will Capture Major Title Very Soon
By Kevin Francis, courtesy of The Daily Star
AMIR KHAN is back in the world title mix after a convincing win here that left him vowing: "I will become a world champion again soon."
After two career-threatening defeats, Khan managed to KO his doubters with an emphatic win over Carlos Molina.
A new, mature-looking Khan won every single round of a fight that finished at the end of the 10th when Molina's corner spoke to referee Jack Reiss and called it a day.
It was all so convincing that a new-look and very confident Khan told me: "I am sure I will become a world champion again soon – the best is yet to come."
A badly-cut left eye hampered the locally-based Molina but even without that there was absolutely no doubt that Khan was by far the better of the two fighters.
Now, after defeats by Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia this year, 26-year-old Khan has made a strong statement about his ability to get right back to the top.
The former unified world light-welterweight champion, under new trainer Virgil Hunter, turned on the style to outclass Molina completely.
Khan was delighted to get this bout out of the way and said: "I know I made a lot of mistakes in my last two fights.
"But I am a changed fighter now and stick to the game plan Virgil has made for me.
"There were times when I did get caught with a shot but I never lost my rage and stuck to the plan.
"I had to be safe. Every time I went to the corner Virgil was telling me to stick to what I was doing and that was fine by me.
"I now already see myself as a better fighter and I am only going to get better because I have only been with Virgil for 10 weeks.
"I'm sure that I will be a world champion again soon."
The influence of new trainer Hunter cannot be underestimated – even by me! I had doubts about Khan's decision to sack Freddie Roach after his defeat by Garcia.
But I have to admit that the cool and confident Hunter seems to have instilled a new kind of winning discipline in Khan.
Gone is the 'old' Amir who always had a tendency to throw caution to the wind and get involved in sometimes costly toe-to-toe battles.
Instead, Khan is learning well and worked his way through the opening rounds in a safe and confident manner.
Perhaps he could have finished off Molina before his corner called it a day but Khan was following his orders to the letter and it worked out just right. He won each of the 10 rounds and was ready to go another two without risking victory by reverting to his old self.
He added: "Virgil is a great trainer and I'm getting better at boxing, being a complete fighter.
"He's teaching me things like speed, patience, picking the right shots and when to throw them.
"Sometimes I'm too brave for my own good but now I know it is better to stick to a game plan."
Khan's only problem after the fight was a badly-bruised right hand but he is still on course for what he hopes will be a cracking 2013.
He said: "All went well in this fight. Now I am ready to show just how good I am next year.
I am still trying to figure out why Khans picture is on a tab up top. Guy has done nothing to deserve being up there. Put Donaire, or marquez up there, someone who is actually accomplished. Who didnt know Khan…Comment by Ravens Fan on 12-17-2012

I have family in WI. I could stop by.
Aside from Canio, I think I'm the furthest.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"

Well I've decided that if I am ever in the vicinity of any of you, I will make the effort to meet you. Not for anything weird, but because my coffee date with NW was one of the coolest experiences ever.
Nope... I'm out on the peninsula of sunny FL.

Sundance Review: 'For a Good Time, Call...'
Raunchy phone sex comedy has big laughs and real commercial potential
Five minutes into the Sundance comedy "For a Good Time, Call..." I was cringing.
My notes read like this:
"Wow. This is... broad."
"Geez. REALLY broad."
"Neither leading lady introduced with any subtlety."
"Guess we're not downplaying the coarseness, eh?"
[Yes. My notes are often designed to be read with a slight Canadian accent.]
It was not an encouraging start for the Sundance Premieres entry from director Jamie Travis and writers Lauren Anne Miller and Katie Anne Naylon.
Then a funny thing started happening. Or, more literally, funny things started happening. "For a Good Time, Call..." never exactly became subtle, but under what circumstances is a story of two college enemies who bond and become friends when they start a phone sex line designed to be understated?
Yes, "For a Good Time, Call..." is broad. And yes, it's coarse. It also produced more laugh-out-loud moments than any comedy I've seen at Sundance thus far.
Driven by stars Ari Graynor and Miller, plus a slew of memorable supporting performances and a handful of exceptional cameos I'd hate to spoil, "For a Good Time, Call..." is unapologetically raunchy and rude, which should only be an asset in our post-"Bridesmaids" era.
Full review after the break...
When her insufferable boyfriend (James Wolk) uses a transfer to Italy as an excuse to terminate their "boring" relationship, prim-and-proper Lauren (Miller) finds herself needing a new place to live.
Facing the end of her apartment's rent controlled status and unable to make ends meet despite holding down three menial jobs, free-spirited Katie faces either giving up her late Bubie's home or taking on a new roommate.
Fortunately, the two women share a gay BFF (Justin Long) who tries to set them up for a new cohabitation.
Unfortunately, Lauren and Katie have an acrimonious history that involves a college party and a cup of urine.
At first, it looks Katie and Lauren are heading for a winner-take-apartment battle of wills. Most of y'all haven't seen the pilot for ABC's "The B---- in Apartment 23," but trust me when I say this was coming across as a less sharp version of that midseason comedy.
Then Lauren discovers that Katie has been working for a phone sex line and offers her superior level of organization to help Katie launch her own number. Katie, in turn, offers to use her lack of filter and her dirty mind to help Lauren shake off the "boring" stigma. They turn out to be a perfect partnership.
Because most of the dialogue through most of "For a Good Time, Call..." stems from the phone sex business, I can't reproduce any of it for this review, other than to compliment the writers for not pulling any lewd punches and the actors for diving into the nastiness with glee and gusto. There's a "Sundance Laugh," which is more akin to a wry snort of knowing derision than to an actual and satisfying guffaw. "For a Good Time, Call..." generates actual belly laughs, though there's a split between lines that seem organic to the characters and situations and lines that feel like a pair of screenwriters giggling and saying "Can you believe we're going to get away with somebody saying it?" Fortunately, there's much more of the former.
Whether you choose to credit "Bridesmaids" for the obvious increase in female-driven comedies at this year's Festival or if you choose to believe that something has been in the water for a few years and that "Bridesmaids" was just the wildly successful tip of the spear, one of the true pleasures of this year's Sundance has been seeing so many of my favorite actresses getting the chances to carry funny movies. It doesn't even matter if those moves are uniformly strong, seeing Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie in "Save the Date," Rashida Jones in "Celeste and Jesse Forever," Aubrey Plaza in "Safety Not Guaranteed," Mary Elizabeth Winstead in "Smashed" and many more is a good sign. And perhaps even more significant has been seeing the number of those movies that are written by or co-written by women.
For years, I've been a little mystified that Ari Graynor wasn't getting the chance to do more than play the sassy best friend in indie comedies and, when she was getting to do more than that, it was too often in movies like "The Sitter." I've long admired her gung-ho comedic sprit and notable willingness to set 'prettiness" aside in favor if hitting punchlines. She's got a better-than-average best friend role in "Celeste and Jesse Forever," but "For a Good Time, Call..." ought to be the vehicle that sets her up to, at the very least, get the chance to play the lead in an edgy sitcom or something. In "For a Good Time," Graynor talks dirty and dances with reckless abandon, but she's also the soft and gooey center of the sweet friendship and endearingly off-kilter romance (with this Sundance's ubiquitous Mark Webber) that keep the movie from spiraling off into empty nastiness. Oh and Graynor is also an executive producer on "Call..." so good on her.
[Entirely unrelated side note: Perhaps because I saw "For a Good Time, Call..." and "Save the Date" only hours apart, I was also pleased and amused that Brie and Caplan's character in "Date" and Graynor's character here are identified as Jewish. Neither film overplays that character detail, but neither show shies from it either. Yes. That's something that only I will be amused by.]
Although Miller has been in movies that I've seen and enjoyed in the past, I don't think I've ever remembered her. I'll definitely keep an eye out for this writer-producer-star in the future. As I said in the very beginning, Lauren isn't introduced especially well and Miller probably over-plays the prissiness and repression. But as Lauren opens up and begins to find joy in both their sex-working enterprise and the developing friendship with Katie, Miller becomes funnier and funnier.
Miller and Graynor are the focus of every scene in the film, but there's still room for a little theft from the supporting cast. Justin Long's choices as gay bud Jesse are probably a bit too easy, but he still gets laughs out of them, especially when working opposite a sad-eyed dog named Zelda. Baby-voiced Sugar Lyn Beard only has a couple sequences, but she makes a vivid impression. And then there are the cameos, which I won't spoil in specific, only telling you to watch out for the celebrity masturbators. And no, that's not a sentence you get to write very often when you aren't at Sundance.
"For a Good Time, Call..." is the future directing debut of Jamie Travis, best known for shorts including the 2010 Sundance entry "The Armoire." I haven't seen them, but the shorts have been praised for their visual complexity. That's not really a side of Travis that gets featured here. His job, which isn't an easy one, is keeping "For a Good Time, Call..." light and lively, while maintaining the balance between naughtiness and heart. If some of his artistic and pacing decisions feel a little too conventional, that's probably also why "For a Good Time, Call..." has already been picked up by Focus and has a chance to be a breakout.
So keep an eye out for "For a Good Time, Call..." It'll probably require a red-band trailer, since I can't think of much dialogue that doesn't involve sexual slang and innuendo. And when you go to see it, don't get too bummed out when it seems awkward in the beginning. There's plenty of laughter to come. Yes. Double-entendre. I apologize.

Unusual and Beautiful Ideas for Table Runners (That You Can DIY!)
all sorts of things from bandannas to quilts, but these five table runners take the cake for being unusual, beautiful, and centerpieces in themselves. 1. Add a colorful burst of whimsy to your table with this pretty pinwheel table runner. Green Wedding Shoes has a DIY tutorial here! 2. Garlands are not just for hanging. This green runner was made from bunches of magnolia leaves wired together and left to gracefully drape down the side of the table. 3. This dramatic living succulent runner by Tend (in collaboration with Sugar and Fluff) was designed for a wedding showcase. Swoon! 4. For a simple and rustic tablescape, event designer Sugar and Fluff draped a sheet of moss down the table and accented with natural elements, like twigs and flowers. 5. This Polaroid runner is a brilliant idea for a personal get-together, like a reunion, birthday, or holiday dinner. Simply tape Polaroids (or any old photos) together on the back to create a nostalgic setting.

Getting health coverage for individuals with pre-existing conditions is now a lot easier—and in some cases, more affordable—thanks to recent changes to the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP). On May 31, 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released new eligibility standards for the PCIP, created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), that will go into effect on July 1, 2011.
"We're very excited about this," says Lee Page, Paralyzed Veterans of America associate advocacy director, noting that Paralyzed Veterans of America has been working on pre-existing conditions and related issues in various capacities for more than seven years.
"Getting rid of the lifetime cap [lifted January 1, 2011] was a major victory for individuals with spinal cord injury or disease—it was so easy to blow through a million dollars," Page says. "Having pre-existing condition insurance is also huge, because so many people get disqualified—not just someone like myself, with a permanent disability, but those where smoking or alcohol or heart disease figures in."
Already PCIP's impact has been profound. Participants in the federally administered plan get primary and specialty care, hospital care, maternity care and preventive health care. Skilled nursing care, prescription drugs, home health and hospice care are also included.
When expanded standards go into effect, people will be able to prove eligibility simply by providing a letter from a doctor, physician assistant or nurse practitioner. It must be dated within the past 12 months and state that he or she currently has—or at any time in the past had—a medical condition, disability or illness. A previous age requirement that limited participation to children under 19 also has been lifted. Now, all U.S. citizens or legal U.S. residents can enroll—providing they have been without health coverage for at least six months. More details about the program are available at pcip.gov/FAQs.
Some current PCIP enrollees will see premiums fall by as much as 40 percent in some states. Letters that began mailing in early June will include the amount of their new premium effective July 1, 2011, and will explain what to do if they have paid future months' premiums and need a credit adjustment. To view the current rate for a specific state, visit the "State Plans" section of pcip.gov.
Created as a transition program to provide comprehensive health coverage at the same price healthy people pay, PCIP will by replaced in 2014 by a new competitive marketplace call an Exchange, which will offer affordable, qualified health insurance choices for individuals and small businesses.
"Right now, the ACA's pre-existing condition plan is breakthrough," Pages notes. "But by 2014 all insurance policies across the board have to accept people, regardless of illness, condition or disability."

Ah, it took me a bit to understand this. But I think this is the right solution, since we don't want the controller to die if a client happens to disconnect at the wrong time.

Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said the private owner of Zuccotti Park, Brookfield Office Properties, decided late on Thursday to delay the cleaning, which had been slated to begin at 7 a.m.
Protesters, who have occupied the publicly accessible park since mid-September, feared the cleaning would be an attempt to shut down the movement that has sparked solidarity protests in more than 1,400 cities and plans for global rallies on Saturday in 71 countries, according to Occupy Together and United for Global Change.
Roughly 1,000 protesters were on hand early on Friday morning at the park, where many had been up all night busily cleaning it themselves.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a lot of talk of them actually trying to kick us out and keep us out,ŌĆØ said Bailey Bryant, 28, an employee at a Manhattan bank who visits the camp after work and on weekends.
ŌĆ£We clean up after ourselves. ItŌĆÖs not like thereŌĆÖs rats and roaches running around the park,ŌĆØ he said.
On Facebook, organizers said: ŌĆ£Be warned, this is a tactic that [New York City Mayor Michael] Bloomberg has used to shut down protests in the past, and a tactic used recently in similar protests throughout Europe.ŌĆØ
Brookfield has said conditions at the park were ŌĆ£unsanitary and unsafe,ŌĆØ with no toilets and a shortage of garbage cans. Neighbours complain of lewdness, drug use, harassment and offensive odors from the protesters, Brookfield said.
In announcing the postponement, the deputy mayor said in a statement that Brookfield was ŌĆ£postponing their scheduled cleaning of the park, and for the time being withdrawing their request from earlier in the week for police assistance during their cleaning operation.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Brookfield believes they can work out an arrangement with the protesters that will ensure the park remains clean, safe, available for public use and that the situation is respectful of residents and businesses downtown, and we will continue to monitor the situation,ŌĆØ he said.
Protesters are upset that the billions of dollars in bank bailouts doled out during the recession allowed banks to resume earning huge profits while average Americans have had no relief from high unemployment and job insecurity.
They also believe the richest 1% of Americans donŌĆÖt pay their fair share in taxes.
Hundreds of people have been arrested at rallies in New York and police have used pepper spray. Dozens have also been arrested during the past couple of weeks from Boston and Washington, D.C. to Chicago, Austin and San Francisco.
Solidarity rallies have also sprung up at more than 140 U.S. college campuses in 25 states, according to Occupy Colleges.
