Hollywood screen legend Humphrey Bogart once commented, "The whole world is about three drinks behind." And with all due deference to the late (and apparently thirsty) Mr. Bogart, while the rest of the world may be slacking, area residents have been keeping pace just fine, and in good supply too, thanks to our local Vendome Wine & Spirits. Located at the corner of Cahuenga & Riverside, Vendome Wine & Spirits has been serving the libation needs of the local residents with a friendly smile since 1989.
In an age where impersonal customer service has become the name of the game, being a familiar, friendly corner store has made this neighborhood staple a favorite with area residents for 20 years now. And upon meeting store manager Scotland Stephenson and the rest of the staff, one gets an immediate sense of exactly that sort of congenial quality. Scotland is glad to emphasize, "We make sure we have an unpretentious environment here. Because there's a lot of that attitude in our field. Places like this can get kinda stuffy, and we're definitely not that. This store is a fun atmosphere. For everyone [who works]here, this is either their career or a hobby for them, so sharing knowledge with people is a good time. We try to be approachable – approachable and knowledgeable."
So what are Vendome's areas of expertise? "Well, we've really been striving to be the best beer retailers in Southern California, as far as specialty beers are concerned," Scotland mentions. And with over 700 brands of beer to choose from, it's little wonder they're one of the best. "Another area of focus at this location are eclectic wines, small producers, items that are under the radar." And since nothing is put on their shelves unless they themselves have sampled and approved it first, the staff at Vendome has an exceptional knowledge of their products. Scotland adds, "We're pretty discerning here, we have objective palates, so if someone tells us what they like, we're pretty well-versed in steering them in a direction [they're always pleased with]." And in these times where every dollar counts, that's important. "It's really invaluable to at least have someone here who can direct you towards something you're likely to enjoy."
Throughout the week, the staff at Vendome holds events where area locals can meet, mingle, and cultivate their tastes. Every Thursday evening, they hold wine & cheese night, and on Saturdays from 2 to 5pm are beer specials and from 6 to 9pm are wine specials. And looking ahead to April 15, be sure to ask about their Tax Day Special!
With their hand-selected array of libations from around the globe, a humidor room holding a veritable plantation of choicest tobacco, a host of gift ideas and accessories, and their friendly and expert staff, the only thing missing from this liquor market is a drive-thru window.
Vendome Wine and Spirits is located at 10600 Riverside Drive, right at the corner of Riverside & Cahuenga. Ample parking available! They can be reached at (818) 766-9593 or online at www.VendomeTolucaLake.com.

Total commitment from the pack and benefiting from the experience of 'Kiwi originals' Paul Griffen and Walker at half-back, the ball flowed across the full width of the pitch throughout the 80 minutes.
The Club took a lead they were never to lose as early as the fourth minute when Tongan powerhouse Talite Vaioleti finished off a breathtaking attack of several phases. Five minutes later Walker dodged and danced his way over near the posts for a seven-pointer and the side were well and truly up and running.
Within seconds Services' flyer Josh Drauniniu crossed for his almost obligatory try - it was his fourth in three matches against the Barbarians - a timely reminder that this fixture is never less than close and competitive.
This year, however, the Barbarians had no intention of getting sucked in to a points' seesawing dogfight. By half-time opposing fly-halves Walker and Jack Prasad had exchanged classic number 10's tries and at the interval the Barbarians still held a useful, if not decisive, 19-14 lead.
The second half was very different with points daylight between the sides soon evident as Paul Jarvisand former Warrior and Thinus Delport touched down in opposite corners. The Services last hope came from another converted try when James Reid squeezed over in the 50th minute.
From then on it was one-way traffic as Fortey, Jean Botha and Vaioleti added three more tries, the last converted by man-of-the-match Walker.

Our firm, founded in 1967, is one of Tampa's oldest and most respected plaintiff trial firms. Our partners are leaders who have achieved professional honors reserved for a small and select number of trial attorneys.
We represent plaintiffs who have been harmed by the negligent or reckless acts of health-care professionals, attorneys, or other individuals causing personal injury or wrongful death.

Work with Tampa's Experienced Class Action Litigation Attorneys! Imagine that you purchase a wonderful new product – an energy drink or a new kitchen tool, for example. You consume or use the product but all does not go well. The...
With combined expertise and team approach, we are able to handle a broad range of claims involving legal malpractice in Florida and personal injury claims, including:
"I needed legal advice... I called this firm and Alan Wagner took my call immediately….[He] was outstanding, particularly due to the fact that I had never spoken to him prior to today. He even took the time to help me understand some current legal documents that were unclear... knowing that there was no financial gain for him. This type of character speaks volumes! [T]his man is exceptional! He is the definition of integrity, as there was no doubt that he embodies a genuine concern /care for humanity.
If ever I, or my family has to hire a lawyer, Alan Wagner is the first person that I will call. Thank you again Alan! You reignited my faith that there are still professional lawyers that do care about people."
"Kevin McLaughlin is one of the most honest and hard-working people that my husband and I have had the pleasure to deal with. We would both highly recommend him and his whole firm to anyone seeking legal assistance."
"Michael McLaughlin represented me after I was injured as a pedestrian in an auto accident….Michael came highly recommended to me by another member of the legal profession….Michael was always available to me whether by phone or email. If I had to leave a message, I always heard back from him very quickly. When I thanked him for his time, he always reminded me that he was working for me….[T]he settlement turned out to be better than the best case scenario I was given to begin with….We couldn't recommend Michael McLaughlin more highly. He is extremely competent and able in his field."
"Jason demonstrated professionalism, honesty, strong character and work ethics handling our personal injury case. We strongly recommend Jason!"
"Alan Wagner is a solid advocate of honest, hardworking individuals injured by others' negligence….He was so clear in his communication and sincerity that I forgot I was talking with an expert of his caliber.….If suddenly injured by another's disregard or negligence, you need the most ethical, skilled, sympathetic, transparent, and insightful legal advocate to not only stop your losses but to also ensure you are justly compensated for them. That advocate is Mr. Alan Wagner...simply stated, he is exceptional in every way."
"This law firm has the most compassionate, kind and caring lawyers I have seen ever. Alan Wagner is an especially ethical and professional attorney. I believe all of the attorneys in this firm to be the same. I am so pleased to know of such ethical, knowledgeable attorneys in the Tampa Bay area."
Ms. Kimberly Clemons
"This has always been a firm of "super lawyers" even before there was "Super Lawyers."
Woody, a local attorney
"Outstanding law firm with the best lawyers in the country. We use and recommend them to our clients without reservation. Courteous, professional, and straightforward. They have justly earned the well-founded reputation as the best of the best."
Stephen, local business owner
"I could go on and on about Alan Wagner. I contacted him via his website and 30 minutes later I was on the phone with him himself….He walked me through the entire process and, what had taken years with another attorney, took care of everything in about 90 days."
"Jason Whittemore represented me for a wrongful bankruptcy dispute that required IRS tax knowledge and a substantial amount of money I owed to the IRS among several other complications. After consulting with 1/2 dozen attorneys or so, I realized this was a very specialized case that most attorneys were not willing to take or just not knowledgeable enough. I then met with Mr. Whittemore. He took my case. Mr. Whittemore is a sharp, very responsive, attentive, professional. He always politely spoke the facts. He kept me informed at all times. The end result was that we won. He is the sole reason for winning this unusual case. I highly recommend Mr. Whittemore and if I need an attorney in the future he is first on my list."
"Alan Wagner took our case when numerous other lawyers would not. Though he knew that his return on investment would be low, he was willing to accept the case on principle. My wife and I didn't even have time to stop celebrating the fact that someone was willing to take the case before he actually had it settled….[H]e got every dime returned to us, with the payment plan in place in a matter of days from accepting the case. I can't say enough about his professionalism, demeanor, and knowledge."
"I had the honor of working for this great Law Firm for 15+ years as the In-house Investigator. Their ALL was given in the representation of each and every client. It was a great education for me. I thank you for that honor."
Fred Thomas


text: Bryan Broaddus Football Analyst/Scout Football analyst Bryan Broaddus tackles three pressing questions for the Cowboys and the NFL Draft. This week, Bryan discusses the personnel to play a 4-3 scheme, breaks down an offensive position and gives us a hint on an intriguing prospect in the draft for this April. You're obviously watching a lot of college players these days, but can you give us one player that has really caught you by surprise in your evaluations? Broaddus: I have been working on a lot of college players but that is the great part about this time of year. I really don't have one but here are a couple that I have really liked. I had no clue who Jonathan Cyprien of Florida International was until I saw him at the Senior Bowl. When I came home I sat down and studied him even closer and I was so impressed. I didn't know who Larry Warford of Kentucky was, now he is a guard I would love to have on my team. Tavon Austin of West Virginia is a fun little player to take a look at because of his explosiveness and play making ability. Arthur Brown of Kansas State looks like he could be a great fit as a Will linebacker in this scheme. Stansly Maponga of TCU needs to be studied hard as a defensive end that not only can rush the passer but can hold up against the run. I can go on and on but I will save that for another day. What do you think of the tight end position, with the backups behind Witten and their new coach, who really isn't that new?

Carnival Valor - Western Caribbean: Carnival Valor Cruise Review by playingfetch
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Valor - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Ship I did not get to use all the ship's amenities. I enjoyed the eateries, piano bar, serpentine slide, pool, hot tub, and shows in the Ivanhoe Theater. The Washington Dining Room was not accessible according to deck plans. The dining room is located on decks 3 and 4. It was not accessible on 3 because of the Lincoln Dining Room and on 4 because of the photo gallery's closure. It was best accessible by walking aft on deck 5 and going down one deck. The ship's staff exceeded my expectations.
Onboard Activities I did not get to do all the activities I thought I would. I found many to overlap others. I had to choose the ones that were the most important to me. If you are a non-drinker like me or cannot drink alcohol, you can drink non-alcoholic drinks in the bars. I enjoyed singing at the piano bar while drinking a diet coke. I enjoyed a non-alcoholic juice at the Captain's Cocktail Party.
Shore Excursions More The shore excursions were the highlight of my cruise. I love to travel, see, and learn new things. I visited Grand Cayman, Roatan Island, Belize, and Costa Maya. Roatan Island was my favorite port because it isn't commercialized or developed like the others. I found it picturesque. The cruise director said that it is like going back 50 years in time. At Grand Cayman, I took the Stingray City and Island tour. I enjoyed holding a sea turtle at the turtle farm and holding, petting, feeding and kissing stingrays at Stingray City. The gift shop in Hell was full of people and the cashier line moved slowly. At Roatan Island, I took the Garifuna Experience and Mangrove Tunnel tour. I got to dance with the Garifuna Indians and sample cassava bread baked on a mud stove. The mangrove tunnels and Jonesville's stilted fishing village were picturesque and full of photo opportunities. At Belize, I took the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins tour, and in Costa Maya, I took the Kohunlich Mayan Ruins tour. I enjoyed the Mayan ruins. When I booked my excursions with Carnival online, Xunantunich was not offered. After arriving aboard the ship I found out that it was being offered. I was able to change my Belize excursion onboard.
Before going on my cruise, I read many negative comments about Belize. I would not have liked Belize either had I not gotten past Belize City. Reader, I would like to give you the following advice I had when I was in the Navy: "Get past the ship, pier, waterfront, and the first bar." Take shore excursions. There is a world out there you might wish you discovered. You can't judge Belize by Belize City or any other country by its port. You might not get to go back to the ports you visited. The world expands beyond the places I suggested getting past.
Staff The staff exceeded my expectations. My cabin steward addressed me by my first name every time he saw me. My servers in the Washington Dining Room remembered the beverages and breads I liked. After arriving in Roatan Island, I could not open the safe in my cabin. I called guest services and told them that I had a tour at Roatan, and shortly after I called guest services, someone came and opened and reactivated the safe. I was able to retrieve my camera and enjoy my tour. I never had further problems with the safe. I never had a negative interaction with a staff member. Less

A quiet laneway behind Gosford. Wrapping his coat around his fist, the silver-haired gentleman smashes the glass panel on the council parking meter and opens a secret compartment in the machine, revealing a manila envelope and a small reel-to-reel tape recorder.
Glancing over his shoulder, the agent carefully extracts a grainy black and white photograph of a man with short-cropped hair in a shiny suit, and then presses "play".
"Good morning Jim," says the voice on the tape. "The man you are looking at is a local high-ranking union official who collects millions of dollars from lowly paid workers and toilet cleaners. Our sources suggest the money is for his personal use. Recently, he embarked upon an ambitious plot to enter Parliament, a position from which he could become a senior government minister of this country, giving him direct access to the pockets of millions of hard-working families and taxpayers. The consequences are unimaginable."
Jim flicks through to the next photo and looks puzzled. There are three men in the photo, but none of them has a face.
"In most countries, the target would normally have to go through a complicated process known as preselection. But we have identified this group of strange faceless men working behind the scenes to make sure he doesn't have to."
Jim frowns, as the tape hisses ominously.
"In order to stop him, you will need your very best team. On this mission, you will be accompanied by Barney Broadband, an electronics and mobile phone spoofing genius, on loan to us from News Ltd, who will be responsible for extracting the target's SIM card and credit cards, and replacing them with clones.
"This will allow you to manufacture fake 'sleeper' calls and expenses that will lie dormant for many years, then suddenly show up on his bills, causing him maximum embarrassment.
"Your second in command will be Johnny Latex, a noted actor, make-up artist, escape artist, calligrapher and master of disguise, whose job it will be to repeatedly impersonate the target, forge his signature and take his place on numerous occasions over the next three years, even fooling his wife."
Jim nods thoughtfully. It's a good team, he knows. But there's someone missing.
"We have also arranged for you the services of special agent Tiffany Legova, top fashion model, actress, beauty queen, Olympic pole dancer and burlesque performance artist.
"Tiffany's job will be to get as close to the target as is physically possible and entrap him using whatever methods she deems appropriate." Jim smiles wryly.
It's a tough gig. He hopes they can handle it.
"Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to neutralise the target by setting him up and humiliating him so he never gets into a position of political power.
As usual, should you or any of your team get caught, we will disavow any knowledge of you.
"Good luck, Jim. And remember, this government will self-destruct in the next six months."
Three months later. A penthouse suite in a luxury Melbourne hotel. The atmosphere is tense, as Jim surveys his team. Latex's disguise is perfect, right down to the flecks of grey hair and faint acne blemishes. Broadband stabs at his iPhone.
"Got him," he says, breathlessly. "I'm listening to his calls. He's just ordered caviar blinis and champagne cocktails."
Jim turns abruptly to Tiffany. "This is it! His room is directly adjacent to ours. Once you're in there, you're on your own. Should you get into any trouble, bang the bedhead loudly and repeatedly against the adjoining wall and we'll come and rescue you."
Tiffany swallows nervously. "Wish me luck, guys."
Five minutes later. Jim paces up and down, glancing at his watch. Months of elaborate planning have gone into this covert operation, but has he thought of everything?
Broadband is muttering to himself, frantically tapping away behind his bank of computer screens. Latex adjusts his wig and carefully practices his signature on the freshly minted credit card.
Suddenly the door bursts open. It's Tiffany. She throws her handbag down on the bed and kicks off her stilettos.
"What happened?" says Jim, startled. "What went wrong?"
Tiffany shrugs sulkily, and heads for the mini bar.
"He told me to go away. He said he's got more than enough girls in there already."

Taken from the album Art Angels out now via 4AD/Rhythmethod
Today, Grimes reveals the new self-directed video for 'California' filmed in Los Angeles and Paris. The video features cameos from singer Megan James of Purity Ring, musician HANA, model Eric Cheng, musician Born Gold, and rising star Mac Boucher. In the last week, Grimes performed 'Flesh Without Blood' on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
The LA Times called Grimes' Coachella set "thrillingly relentless" while Vice Noisey says she's "poised to take over the whole world" and Rolling Stone called her a "mad scientist behind the control panel." This spring, Grimes graced the covers of Teen Vogue and AnOther Magazine, was featured in Vanity Fair's Disrupters portfolio and Elle's Women in Music issue, and currently stars in the campaign for Stella McCartney's Pop fragrance.
Grimes will perform at Lollapalooza, FYF, Moogfest and Hangout Music Festival and will open for Florence & The Machine throughout May.
Art Angels had prime placement on basically every 2015 End of Year list, with #1 spots from NME, Stereogum, Gorilla Vs. Bear and others. Jon Pareles of the NY Times called the album "a solo tour de force," Stereogum said, "In 2015, nothing sounded better," and Rolling Stone called it a "triumph." Time Magazine named 'Flesh Without Blood' the #1 song of the year while iTunes named 'Art Angels' the #1 Indie Album of 2015 and it finished out the year at #1 most added on CMJ Radio. Within the past year, Grimes graced the covers of The FADER, Nylon, Dazed and Confused, NME, London's ES Magazine, Flare and more.

Alain Prost will assume an advisory role with Renault Sport F1's executive committee after extending his deal as a brand ambassador to the firm.
Under the new arrangement Prost will attend a number of Formula 1 races over the season as well as select Formula Renault 3.5 events.
Prost, who has been a Renault brand ambassador since 2012, came close to winning his first F1 world championship with the works Renault squad in 1983.
After three years and nine wins with the team he left for McLaren - which would later lead to his infamous intra-team duels with Ayrton Senna - and then Ferrari.
Prost's side of the Senna story
He returned to Renault power with a move to Williams in 1993, a year he dominated by winning seven times en route to his fourth world crown.
"Renault has a long history within F1 and everything it has done in the sport has ultimately been a success. Indeed I have achieved some of the greatest results of my career with Renault power," Prost said.
"Over the past year I have seen that it has kept the same passion and rigour for F1, and it has stayed true to these values as it prepares for the new V6 power unit in 2014.
"I will use my experience and knowledge of the sport to advise on strategic and technical challenges - it's a very exciting time for everyone and together we represent very strong potential."

Glazed Ham with Blackberry Sauce
- Ham:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2/3 cup seedless blackberry jam
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (8- to 9-pound) smoked, bone-in ham shank, trimmed
- Cooking spray
- Sauce:
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup seedless blackberry jam
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350°.
To prepare ham, combine 2 tablespoons mustard, sugar, 2/3 cup jam, and pepper in a small bowl; spread half of jam mixture over ham. Place ham on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; insert a thermometer into thickest portion of ham. Bake at 350° for 2 1/2 hours or until thermometer registers 160°, basting with remaining jam mixture occasionally.
To prepare the sauce, combine the cider and wine in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Stir in 1 cup jam and 1 tablespoon mustard. Reduce heat to low, and cook until jam dissolves, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and stir in juice. Serve with ham.
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time: The secret to making a juicy ham is all in the glaze. We call for using half the sauce to baste and the other as a spread to serve with the glazed ham so that the blackberry jam really shines. Make the perfect glaze using the spiciness of the Dijon mustard to complement the tartness of the blackberry jam. This tasty main course has one-tenth the sodium of a traditional cured ham.
- Yield: 16 servings plus leftovers (serving size: about 4 ounces ham and 3 tablespoons sauce).

Lightening a new tattoo
Often, new tattoos respond very well to laser treatment. Typically laser treatment consists of many, ten or more treatments done at least once per month. Newer tattoos might not need as many treatments as mature tattoos because the older tattoo has pigment that has been surrounded by the host's collagen in the dermis of the skin. The new tattoo's pigment exists freely within the dermis and may be more susceptible to fragmentation by the laser and the host's immune system can engulf the particles of pigment and carry them away from the dermis. I have had some patients though, whose new tattoos were stubborn. There never is a guarantee of results with tattoo removal.
Lightening a tattoo
You are in luck. A fresh tattoo is the easiest to lighten requiring the fewest treatments especially if black ink is used. I would recommend finding someone with a q-switched tattoo removal laser and they can do one or two treatments and it will be much lighter. I hope this information helps.
Can a new Tattoo be lightened?
First you must let the skin heal from the tattoo roughly 2-3 weeks. After this the simple options include injecting the tattoo with some sterile saline solution which will have a slight lightening effect, or several treatments with a Q switched laser. Hope this was helpful.

Mr. Wilde clambered to the floor and unlocking the cabinet, took a long square box from the first shelf.
"Let us agree, if you please, that in this one circumstance Mr. Wilde is wrong," I said.
Wilde wrote a (not very good) poem in her memory in the jingling high Victorian manner.
The jibe is off-key too because Wilde himself was hardly immune to the sentimental and even the mawkish.
When he came to the end and read the signature of Mr. Wilde, he folded the paper carefully and returned it to me.
Even here, however, Mr. Ransome will insist on taking Wilde far too seriously.
The moment the call sounded, Wilde walked towards the ladder.
"I think we have seen the country pretty well," suggested Wilde.
And it is just because they do this that Wilde is so cordially feared and hated.
It doesn't signify in the least, Mr. Wilde—thanks, that is one more.

North Hopkins senior foregoes graduation ceremony for rodeo
By FAITH HUFFMAN, News-Telegram News Editor
June 29, 2008 - For most teens, graduation is the pinnacle of personal accomplishment, at least 12 years of hard work recognized with commencement exercises alongside their high school peers.
Bradley Ball, however, was awarded his diploma in front of fans, friends and family at the Four States High School Rodeo Finals where he went on to capture the title for being the best all around at the rodeo.
He had to make the decision to continue in the FSHRA Finals, which he had worked toward all year, or to attend his high school graduation.
For Ball, who has been competing in the rodeo in various events since 1999, the decision was easy.
"They were both the same weekend, June 7-8. As it came down, they were at about the same time. Graduation wasn't as important," said Bradley, son of Jackie and Harold Ball, and grandson of Sharon and Johnny Powell.
He'd completed the required years of school work and made his grades or he wouldn't have qualified to compete in the rodeo, but wasn't as interested in the "pomp and circumstance" of graduation.
Roping and rodeo is just "more exciting" to Ball, who is understated about his accomplishments and shies away from the limelight when family and friends point them out to others.
In true cowboy form, Bradley is a man of few words. He'd just assume let his roping speak for itself. He's also modest, making light of his accomplishments, shying away from the spotlight where others would seek it. He isn't too keen on having his picture made, but agreed to an interview for the News-Telegram and to have his picture taken out of respect for his mom, Jackie Ball, who's invested a lot over the years so Bradley could compete.
He started out riding bulls then eventually ended up roping, liking team roping best because it's the "easiest." He's competed with Dakota Vititow and Andrew Cameron in team roping.
How does a kid get started in rodeo? Bradley just followed his friend's lead.
"He got started in 99. One of his friends' dad roped. The kids roped. His friend Dakota [Vititow] rode junior bulls. He wanted to start ridin' too," said his mother, Jackie Ball. "Now, as a parent, that wasn't what you want for your kid. But he kept after me, wantin' it. I made him ride at home. He started free riding in a pasture. His first time he didn't want us to come, didn't want me to watch. He stopped riding his freshman year. He started roping after he got stepped on. Oh, he's rode a few times since, but he gave it up for calf ropin' and team roping."
"Team roping's the easiest. I hate roping, it's too much work," Bradley said, admitting that aside from his early years in FSHSR competition, he rarely practices because it just simply "gets too boring."
Why does he do it? Aside from the excitement it brings him, Bradley says the money's a nice pay-out for his effort. His mom, however, says that most times there's little left over after he pays the entry fees for the next rodeo.
"Some years are really long, and don't pay as good as others," Jackie said. "Whatever's left went to him after entry fees. But in the long run, it was worth it. Keeping him in it kept him out of trouble, but he's really a good kid. I'm proud of him."
There are 26 FSHSRA events each year. In order to earn enough points to think about qualifying for the finals, the students have to attend at least 50 to 60 percent of the events and maintain good grades to boot. They also have to finish in the top 15 in their event to compete in the Four States High School Rodeo Association Finals.
And, he wouldn't tell you himself but he's done good for himself over the years. Bradley has repeatedly competed at the finals over the last nine years. He took the top slot for junior steer riding. He's also had success team ropin and calf roping. Counting this year, Bradley has won eight saddles for first place, a trailer, 15 to 20 belt buckles for second through four place finishes, a trailer for best overall as well as several hats and cash.
This year, Bradley was ranked second all around behind Colton Poeschl, 630 points to Poeschl's 640.5. He was ranked first in team roping, second in chute dogging and tie-down roping, third in break-away roping and fifth in ribbon roping going into the finals rodeo.
When the finals concluded, Bradley went home with first for the year and second in average in chute dogging, second for the year and third in average in tie-down, first for the year and first in average in breakaway, four for the year and second in average in ribbon roping, first for the year and second in average in team roping. With numbers like those, it's not surprise, that Bradley scored high enough at the finals to usurp Poeschl, as the best all around competitor.
He also went home with a two-horse trailer for best all around, a saddle in chute doggin', breakaway and team roping, three belt buckles, four hat certificates, four free photo certificates and a $2,150 cash award. Overall, that's about a $10,000 haul, not a bad reward for a kid who was presented his high school diploma on the floor just before the tie-down competition Saturday.
As for rodeo, he said he likely won't be actively pursuing it for a few years, but does plan to do some more team roping. His favorite, because it's the easiest.
Bradley hasn't quite decided yet what life has in store for him for the long haul, but at this point doesn't think he'll be hitting the books at college any time soon. But, until he does decide a path, he'll be working to earn money. He starts a new job Monday in Birthright installing cabinets in houses..

The 'Where Have You Been' singer films the Anthony Mandler-directed clip in Los Angeles, looking seductive in some sexy dresses that expose her firm figure.
Rihanna filmed a music video for her new song "Diamonds" recently. The Bajan songstress was snapped in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 21, oozing sexiness on the set which was designed to look apocalyptic with fire all over the place.
"Heading to set #CCcertified," Riri tweeted before shooting the Anthony Mandler-directed clip, and later followed it up with a short hashtag that read, "#Diamonds." Mandler himself posted, "We're like #Diamonds in the sky.."
The "We Found Love" hitmaker was spotted rocking various sexy dresses that exposed her slim figure. She was at one point photographed donning a skintight black dress and getting braless under a sheer white gown in another.
She was seen standing tall against the fiery backdrop while letting out her sexiness. Earlier on the day, Riri's best friend Melissa shared a set-photo of the songstress in a simple-but-elegant maxi dress while sporting her side-shaved hair.
Riri shot the video a day after she was spotted spending a night partying with Chris Brown at the launch party of Qubeey at Playhouse. Adding fuel to rumor of her rekindled romance with Breezy, Riri tweeted a cryptic note that read, "Forgiveness wins," with a link to a picture of the bible verse of Matthew 6:14.
"Diamonds" is the lead single off Riri's upcoming seventh studio set "Unapologetic", which will come out on November 16. She will next embark on Diamonds World Tour to promote the album beginning from March 2013.

Two badgers caused havoc when they tunnelled under a perimeter fence at Erlestoke Prison near Devizes.
The authorities were initially powerless to remove the animals because badger setts are protected by law.
Prison chiefs had to call in the Department for Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to get rid of them.
Governor Douglas Moon said: "I can confirm that during the early part of this year, a pair of badgers were found to have set up home within the grounds of this establishment.
"The prison sought advice from Defra on the appropriate management and safe removal and we have been able to obtain authorisation to remove the badgers to a safe location away from the establishment.
"We have also been granted a licence to carry out the necessary work and arrangements for the safe relocation of the badgers is now in progress."
Erlestoke is a category C closed training prison, which receives male prisoners from England and Wales.

Although only being established for a couple of years The Vaccines have had a meteoric rise in the music world, writes Bishan Davies.
Their first album 'What Do You Expect From The Vaccines' was released in 2011 and charted at four.
This year they were voted Best Band in the NME Awards. Now they are back with a full UK tour stopping off at the O2 Academy, Birmingham on November 29.
The four piece band that has spent the summer opening for the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Stone Roses and playing festivals across the world from Seoul to Reading will be showcasing material from their most recent album "Come Of Age" which was released on September 3 and has already received enthusiastic reviews.
The Vaccines seemed to have found the secret in keeping original fans loyal to the band and attract new fans , as they have keep their raw, punchy pop punk sound, simple guitar riffs and anthem like choruses.
From songs such as Wetsuit to Teenage Icon it seems The Vaccines have lost non of their raw, vigorous energy.
Their first single to come from the album was "No Hope" which was dubbed, at the time of release, by Zane Lowe as the "hottest record in the world" and reached its peak position of 37 in the UK singles chart. This tour is for fans that have been there from the start, and also for the people that still yet haven't discovered the sheer power and passion behind The Vaccines.
The UK tour kicks off in Plymouth, stopping off in Birmingham on November 29. Tickets are available online or from the Box Office at 02 Academy in Birmingham.

TAVARES, Fla. -- After sitting out last year with a serious injury to his left hand, Brent "Brody" Broderick was in the water Thursday morning, raring to go.
After eight months of treatments, his hand, he said, is "100 percent of what it's going to be."
He said the hand lacks some strength. But after three days of practice for the Sunshine Showdown, his fingers were flexing normally.
"I haven't had to ice it, and I haven't seen any bruising, so I'm tickled to death. This is the most I have fished in over a year."
A flood of young pros
Like last season, Bradley Roy is the youngest angler in the 2011 Elite field; he turned 20 last November.
This year, he has company, as the 20-somethings showed up in force. Five of this season's rookies are in their 20s: Jonathon VanDam, 22; Brandon Palaniuk, 23; Ott DeFoe, 25; and Nate Wellman and Andy Montgomery, both 28.
Roy said he's liking the trend of anglers getting serious about bass fishing earlier in their lives.
"I think it's great. And behind me, there's a lot of good youth programs, so there's more coming," he said. "You're going to see even more in the next five to 10 years, especially with the college programs getting better. There's going to be a flood of younger pros coming into the sport."
For the first time, B.A.S.S. is offering a 2012 Bassmaster Classic to the 2011 College Bass Champion. Roy likes that, too.
"It's a good deal," he said. "Every other pro sport has a college level, and now we have one too, and it's building."
Roy was the 2011 Bassmaster Rookie of the Year, an accomplishment that helped him garner more sponsors for his second year as an Elite angler. This year, with a stable of sponsors that includes Berkley, Triton and Mercury, he's added Academy Sports & Outdoors, Rugged Shark and several more.
Not bad for 20 years old.
Just say no to dock talk
Bradley Hallman was parked in a slip at the end of a dock, far from any other Elite angler waiting to take off for the first day of 2011 competition. He was hunkered down against the driving rain, his cell phone tucked up under the hood of his rain jacket. He carefully perched it against his neck where he could hear it ring.
Why so solitary, Hallman?
"I don't want to listen to all the dock talk," he said, referring to the chatter, sometimes purposely misleading, that goes on among anglers and can mess with one's head.
A rainstorm delayed the launch for 15 minutes while Bassmaster officials checked the storm's movement. The go-ahead was given as soon as conditions were safe.
He didn't care about the rain. He didn't even mind the wind too much.
"It will make boat positioning tougher. But it probably plays better for me than for some others, so if it wants to blow, it can blow," said Hallman, revealing only that he did not intend to target bedding bass.
Don't tread on me
Nate Wellman's rookie-year boat wrap features a bright-red, large-scale tire tread that runs over top his outboard motor, and across the multitone blue hull. The design promotes his wrap sponsor, Trailer Equipment Inc., his family's Michigan-based business of leasing trailers for semi-trucks.
Mr. Blue Boots
Like everyone else Thursday morning at launch, Mark Menendez was well-wrapped in a rainsuit. His outfit, however, had a finishing touch no one else on the dock could claim: black-and-blue rubber boots.
"Had them for 14 years," he said. "Not my lucky boots or anything, but they keep me warm and dry. That's a type of luck, I guess."
Menendez told a story of being kidded about his stylin' footwear by someone who has called him "Blue Boots" ever since.
The stay-dry pattern
Elite veteran Steve Kennedy was boat No. 17 in the Thursday launch order, but he made sure he was the last boat in the water.
He sat in his truck, boat poised at water's edge, while a squall ran through and B.A.S.S. officials checked out the weather situation. Many people stopped to ask Kennedy if he had boat trouble, or just what the problem might be.
Rolling down his passenger side window (his wife was his tow-vehicle driver for the put-in), Kennedy chatted with each person.
"It's raining, and my wife would like to keep me around for a while," he laughed. "There's no reason to get any wetter than you have to."
At the last minute, they slipped his blue Kinami Baits wrap into the water, and Kennedy shot off and took his place in line as No. 17, right on time.
Take a number, please
Throughout practice, anglers have had to contend with heavily pressured waters. A lot of the pressure has come from other Elite pros.
Much of the field plans on sight-fishing for bedding bass, which can produce 30-plus-pound stringers on the Harris Chain, as it did during a 2009 Southern Open. However, this event falls at the tail end of the spawning cycle in central Florida, so 30-pound bags are unlikely, but still possible.
In the canals and cuts where bass are still on beds, there are anglers -- lots of them.
Veteran pro Bernie Schultz says that one determining factor in the sight-fishing bite is boat number. If an angler receives a late launch time, he may have to forego the bedding bass that he was planning on. The weather may also curb the sight fishermen. Rain, wind and clouds all make it difficult to see through the water. The forecast calls for storms until mid-morning, then clouds until the weigh-in. Not a good prognosis for bed fishermen.
Schultz is prepared with a backup plan, though.
"We'll see how it goes. If it's rainy or cloudy, guys may be discouraged and try something else," he said. "It might be a matter of waiting them out. But, I've got a little something elsewhere."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
a am a manager at a fast food restaurant money came up missing from another managers lock box the owner wants all managers to take a polygragh but never gave written notice so if i refuse can they terminate me and if they do can i sue them
If you refuse the test they can terminate you without any legal recourse. In fact, since you most likely do not have a contract of employment, and are thus an "employee at-will," your employer can fire you for any reason without legal recourse - other than unlawful discrimination. It is not uncommon when there is employment theft involved for the employer to request a polygraph test. You can refuse the test, of course, but if they terminate you because of that refusal you will have no cause of action to sue them.Ask a similar question
The Employee Polygraph Protection Act provides limitations on the employer's right to require you to submit to a polygraph examination. Generally, if the employer does not have reaonable suspicion that you were involved in the theft, you cannot be compelled to submit to the examination and you cannot be discharged for refusing. You can vist the Department of Labor website to obtain more detailed information regarding your rights under the Act.Ask a similar question
The Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) generally prohibits lie detector tests, including polygraph tests, by private employers. There are some exceptions, one is called the "ongoing investigation" exception. It would appear that that is available here, since money is missing. However, before an employer can claim protection under this exception, it must comply with strict requirements in the EPPA. Preliminarily, it must show (1) that it has an economic loss, (2) that the employee had access to the property, and (3) that the employer has reasonable suspicion that the employee WAS [ not may be] involved in the loss. Moreover, even if an employer can satisfy these three things, it still has to follow strict procedures before, during, and after the polygraph test. If an employer fails to follow one of the EPPA procedures, and there are many, then it no longer can justify the test under the "ongoing investigation" exception, and the test would be illegal under the EPPA. Here , you state that the employer did not give written notice, which is one of the EPPA requirements. The written notice, moreover, must be very specific and tell you, among other things, what the economic loss is, what access you had to the property, and the basis, in detail, of the reasonable suspicion that the employer has that you were involved in the loss. Also, the employer here is asking all managers to take a polygraph which may mean that it is engaging in what is called a "fishing expedition". If so, that would also be illegal under the EPPA.Ask a similar question

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Why tepid heat and cooling after major repair of leak in leak in A/C system? on 2005 Toyota Prius
Last year had A/C checked by third-party and was advised that leak in system--tech unable at that time to locate leak...since it was summer-time I had system recharged then (realizing problem would repeat at sometime)... during the past three to four months noticed degradation in both heating and A/C. Have taken into dealership and was advised of leak in evaporator core...had cooler dryer, evaporator sub-assembly, and expansion valve replaced...freon recharged and I was assured that systems were working properly. Picked up vehicle and no problems for approximately 24 hours...vehicle began to blow non-cooled air and reduced heated air again--this was on auto setting for either heat or A/C. Following week took back to dealership and was advised that system had not been "evacuated" properly and there was a blockage in the system...corrective action supposedly taken and A/C and heat appeared to be operating better. Within one week I was back to a system which is not functioning to my satisfaction. Planning to take back in to dealer and hopefully the third time will be the charm. Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience with their 2005 Prius?

Stars sued for 'assault'
Page Tools
Two photographers have filed a lawsuit against Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake claiming the celebrity couple tried to start a fight with them and took one of their cameras outside a Hollywood hotel.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that the blonde actress ran at photographer Saul Lazo, grabbed his sweater, hit him in the neck, grabbed one of his cameras and stuck it in her purse.
In a statement, the couple argued that they were acting in self defence "as a reaction to the unprovoked and assaultive conduct of the two men".
Diaz and Timberlake said they were "ambushed by two men, who jumped out of a concealed hiding place on a dark, deserted street, late at night".
"Ms Diaz retained the photographer's camera in order to be able to identify the two individuals who jumped out at them. The camera has since been turned in to local authorities, who are investigating the incident," the statement said.
The suit for unspecified damages alleges that Timberlake taunted Lazo and pretended he was going to hit him.
Diaz also ran after the second photographer, Jose Gonzalez, trying to take his camera, the suit says.

scrub woodI mentioned to you when you were indulging in rest and relaxation on your Bermuda cruises, that if you instead invested in land in the Catskills your flock could afford a simple American Dream. Let me please reiterate to you the plan to have a humble mortgage free homestead. Land in the Catskills can go for about a $1,000.00 dollars an acre, of a wooded lot. First your sheepfold invests in a community property, near some lake or major stream $1000.00 dollars per X amount of acreage. You then sell the scrub wood on the land at about $2,000.00 per acre or lot as firewood, then you truck in $1000.00 dollar 30 foot mobile homes, from upper State New York near Albany and Syracuse and the Adirondacks. Now each piece of property has a free acre and free mobile home, from the sale of the scrub wood, you build a community artisan well and invest in solar panels of only a couple panels to run electricity in each mobile home, also get a community satellite dish, for cable and internet access. You still have the straight lumber on the properties for building homes, you have farm land where the scrub wood was. Your zoned rural for raising small livestock. Your in fishing and hunting territory to meet even more food supplies, and food sales for income, and your golden for self-sufficient living with never a mortgage over your head. This is a valid equation for country living and peaceful prosperity and posterity, all for thee initial investment of $1,000.00 dollars, the same as the Bermuda cruise.

Weekly Buyer's Guide: Entry Level System - August 2004by Anand Shimpi & Larry Barber on 8/9/2004 12:00 PM EST

30 Comments
Back to Article
Booster - Thursday, August 26, 2004 - linkI have to add I can't agree on this value system configuration to the extent that I'd call the choices really unpractical. That system of yours may look good on paper, but have you actually tried to use such a system daily? I bet you'd hate it in a week, and here's why.
First, the monitor choice. It's by far the most important choice of all, and you recommend a crappy Samsung CRT. This is ridiculous. Try to read web pages, e-mails and text documents on that CRT and I bet you get a headache after no more than just 2 hours (at least that's my personal experience). The only thing that CRT is good for are games, movies and other multimedia stuff, but not for doing any actual work. And games and movies aren't the point of a budget system, according to your own words. Now that LCD prices are rapidly declining, a 15 inch LCD (cheapest of the cheap, with no DVI, in the $300 range, just $150 more than that CRT, and without unnecessary expense of a $50 video card - only $100 - you'll get so much just for additional hundred bucks!) would be so much easier on the eyes of a budget user. That would also eliminate the need for a costly $50 video card, which is, simply put, a complete waste of money in that system (because even the worst quality integrated video would be sufficient to produce no-ghosting image on a 15 inch LCD with 1024*768 resolution at 60 Herz).
Second, the CPU choice. Athlon XP is a bad choice. It has more power than the Celeron? It sure does, but that's not the point of a budget system, as you say. Price and reliability are more important, I agree, then you need a Celeron, b/c say a 2.0 boxed Celeron costs the same, but it's by far more reliable - it wouldn't burn, in fact it's indestructible, and the boxed cooler is of much higher quality than Athlon XP's bundled cooler, not to speak lots quiter. Performance? Who needs performance in a budget system like that, but the Celeron is fast enough to run anything that system is supposed to run, anyways. Plus take into consideration that you can get a completely integrated Celeron motherboard (with onboard video) for much less than the ASUS board you reccomend, and that the Celeron system would run really cool and quiet and wouldn't require extra case coolers like any Athlon system does, not to speak of high power (and thus expensive) PSUs - a no-brainer choice IMO.
The case - who needs an ATX case? It's too big, and since there wouldn't be much expansion, a Micro ATX case would suit this system so much better.
I have to add I agree with this guide's choice of a Seagate hard drive, I was going nuts when I saw you recommend WD in previous guides (those drives suck, they're too loud and there's pretty much nothing else they offer over competing products). Reply

Hoot - Friday, August 13, 2004 - linkSystems recommended by popular sites like this one always seems to recommend an abit or asus, and they are not always the best choice. How about an mATX system with a very reliable Biosta M7NCG 400 - and it's also overclockabe if you get rev 7.2 (full voltage and multiplier control and will run mobiles.

*This system get't you alot more storage. Better memory as most will not want 256 MB stick for a more power hungry system later - but add to the other 512 stick later to make a gig of ram. Also the powercolor 9600 pro is cheap and very good for gaming.
razor2025 - Thursday, August 12, 2004 - linkI think for the money, a good alternative is Nforce 2 IGP board. It'll save anywhere from $30-40 for not having to get a graphic card. The performance of integrated GF4 MX is also decent enough to compete with GF 2 GTS/Ultra in 3D games. With the $30-40, you can add $10-20 and get two stick of same memory for dual channel. In a nut shell, for just adding $10-20 more, you can have a system with 512mb vs 256mb (big difference in real-world, even for budget PC), and a similar 3D performance (maybe a little slower than the 9200(SE).

Chaotic42 - Thursday, August 12, 2004 - linkAn XP 2400+ is $1 more. I'd have gone with that instead of a 2000+. Heck, a 2200+ is $6 cheaper. Reply
Degrador - Wednesday, August 11, 2004 - linkI would think that entry level being a general field should include just about all fields - average home users, web surfing, office apps, games, playing music - these are things most users would be doing, and most would be doing all of them (some concurrently even). Entry level is usually for family computers - where everyone needs to use the computer. Mostly 'cause they don't have the budget to have different computers for different family members, each comp with specific tasks.
For instance, with a friend's family, his dad uses the comp for Autocad (he's a tool maker), his mum uses it for tax / financial management stuff, and he and his sister use it for school / uni work, playing music, and games. Reply
gherald - Wednesday, August 11, 2004 - linkEntry-level w/o a specific label means the most general field imaginable, i.e. average home users, office workers... you know, mainstream stuff. Video editing, gaming, and the like are all distinctly special cases. Reply
ceefka - Wednesday, August 11, 2004 - linkIf you lable a system "entry level", I ask what field.
What would make an entry, mid-range and high end gaming, video editing or DAW PC? Seems like we're talking about 9 different machines. Or you can make suggestions what to add or change depending on what you want the machine to do.
Would it be possible to do a few benchmarks on the suggested configurations? Reply
gherald - Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - link"entry level gaming" == "mid-range" in my book
But if you actually think this entry system would be a workable base, it's not to hard to figure out what to change.. 512mb, a 9600, and definately go with the alternative Abit NF7 and 2500 Barton picks.
Such a thing doesn't warrant a seperate article. Reply
Z80 - Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - linkGood article, I agree with all of the recommended components. I'm glad you didn't skimp on the monitor. A quality monitor can make all the difference in how someone perceives the usability of a system. I'd like to see an article on an entry level gaming system. I assume it would only entail a couple of minor upgrades to this system configuration. Reply
leigh6 - Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - linkWithout reading Anandtech's Entry level thread I built an entry level system for my sister in law. Her needs were exactly what you had in your initial description of the build. Coincidentally I used most of your components you recommended. So some comments.
1. The Seagate Hardrive was PERFECT. Quiet, fairly inexpensive, plenty of storage wtih 80g and with a now 5 year warranty a no brainer.
2. Radeon 9200se. PERFECT. Absolutely needs nothing better. It does the job and more.
3. Processor was the 2500 Barton . (Would have used the 2000 but had an extra retail 2500 laying around). Either one would have been fine and I do not think there would be a noticable difference for what she and her 3 kids need. WOULD stay with the 2000 for budget reasons and not use this for an upgrade.
4. Case. I though my choice was a no brainer.
Antec slk 2600 with a 300W PS. Not the prettiest case. But for the same price as your model ($65.00) I thought was a much better choice.
5. Ram. Happen to use 512 Kingston Value Ram DDR 3200. (With many rebates available on this product the final price comes to around $75.00) direct from Kingston.
6. Motherboard. I wish I had read this before the build. But I did get lucky. The motherboard I am using has been rock solid. But the next build will be with you're recomendation.
Now a suggestion for the overall concept of your article.
30 percent of the price of the system is the monitor. I believe that the keyboard, mouse, speakers and MONITOR should be left out of you base price. I think adding the monitor to the final base price of the system unintentionally makes the price look like it is a little too high to be a budget system and running closer to the low end of "Mid Range". So the base price would be $372.00 and NO ONE would agrue the merits. Then seperately discuss the peripherals with prices and then add them WITH Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and Speakers. (Most have these already before there build).
Just my thoughts, Leigh
gherald - Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - linkHere we go again, same as last month...
The reason to use a 9200SE rather than an onboard nforce2 is text quality. People who build entry level systems care about this sort of thing, and for this a cheap ATI is clearly better than an onboard nforce unless you happen to use Linux, for which ATI drivers suck :(
To #2 and whoever else mentions Doom 3 or a better 3D video card: congratulations on COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT of "entry level," now get lost.
As for the case, #4 is a good case in point (bad pun) but we've been through this before. None of us understand what Evan/Anand have against Antec, but they are clearly a better case choice in *every* respect *including* price, and that's pretty much been the consensus for as long as these guides have been around.
512mb is allways a good idea, even if you're just running xp + wordpad + browser... it can be used for other things like DISK CACHE. There's simply no reason to build a system with only 256mb nowdays unless you are a total bum or live in some third world country and thus cannot afford a decent setup.
As for dual channel, I wouldn't worry about it. My preference for entrys has always been a single stick of 512mb since I feel that will be more useful 2-3 years from now when it comes time to disassemble this system and spread the components around to other ones, but that's just me. If 2x256mb works for you then so be it, just be sure you get a motherboard that supports dual channel well, such as the NF7/AN7 from Abit. Reply
cosmotic - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkSorry, I thought all nf2s had dual channel... And I've never used a video card (intigrated or otherwise) that could not handle high resolution, although I rarely use integrated video cards.
maybe theres hould be an extreme value system, value, best bang-for-buck, overclock, and super high end system buyers guide. Reply
VIAN - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linksorry bout that Reply
VIAN - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkI am completely fine with a Web Surfing system having 256MB of RAM, without integrated graphics, it's probably already too much. LOL.
You don't need 512MB for Web Surfing. 512MB is what's recommended today for gaming at least, in early 2003, it was 256MB the least. Why would Web Surfers need more than that.
Unless you're setting up some kind of CHEAPO server, there would be no reason for more than 256MB.
Cocophone - Monday, August 09, 2004 - link#13
The machine I'm upgrading from is a 1gHz Celeron with 128 ram with Windows 2000.
I use it as a media server and web stuff and it swaps out the memory far to often. There is nothing worst than swapping out to the hard drive.
For me 512 MB of ram was worth the extra cost. Like #14 says upgrading to 512 ram is more noticable than going from 3 to 2.5 latency.
Degrador - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkOk, a few things here...
We've been saying in these comments for about the last 5 entry articles that 512MB is a far better option than 256MB with low latency, so even if the recommended isn't 512MB, at least make the alternative more ram instead. Lower latency is never going to give a noticeable improvement to an entry user - it bearly gives a noticeable improvement at any stage.
Also, the nforce 2 integrated video is a much better option than buying a 9200SE. The only reason a 9200SE might be more preferable is if you'd think about swapping over the motherboard at some other stage. However an entry purchaser is likely not to do that, at the very least, not for quite some time. This'll likely be when PCI Express has taken over, and even if it isn't, swapping over a motherboard would likely mean practically new everything for an entry user.
While practically nothing requires 512MB RAM, it can also be said that practically nothing requires more than a pentium 1 processor, but having an athlon xp / 512MB of ram is certainly going to be a better option. Especially for future usage. And while the price is the most important factor, every entry level purchaser wants to keep their system for a long time. So simply recommending the cheapest components would make for a useless article - the underlying purpose behind these articles is to give people an indication of what they should buy. And as most people have been saying, everyone wanting to keep their computer for more than a year should seriously be considering at least 512MB of memory.
PotatoMAN - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkI really think that for an entry level system it is hard to fight for 512 mbytes of RAM over 256 - Win XP pro runs OK on 128 let alone 256 - so why spend more for performance on an entry level system? Granted, we want the user to use the computer for ~1.5 years w/out the hassle of upgrading/tampering with the machine, but the major focus of the article is price. To my knowledge, I can't recall any programs that REQUIRE 512 of RAM other than games. Reply
PrinceGaz - Monday, August 09, 2004 - link#9- I see you went for 512MB for your bargain system, a very wise choice.
Given the intention of the article is to recommend something which you can: "keep this entry level system for quite a long time without modification (read: at least 1.5 years)", after it recommended a stick of cheap 256MB Crucial RAM for the memory, why was the alternative not a cheap 512MB stick, instead of a lower latency 256MB stick? 512MB instead of 256MB is the biggest performance improvement you could make to that system if its going to be running Windows XP. If people building it are expected to run Windows 98SE or a Linux variant, you should clearly state that at the start of the article. Windows 98SE is very much on its last legs already though, so its not a very good recommendation.
Apart from the memory issue, a good selection of components. Reply
VIAN - Monday, August 09, 2004 - link#5
Dual channel is less reliable and adds price. You would have to buy a mobo capable of Dual channel add 30 bucks for that and then two sticks of RAM, try finding 128MB sticks, hah, another 40 bucks. Not worth the performance increase.
I agree, though, that if you are going all out on a "Web Surfing System", an integrated card might have been just as good and cheaper. You want price and speed is the last, so why wouldn't you go integrated.
You make a very good arguement against integrated, but the monitor's optimal resolution is most likely 1024x768, so it wouldn't make a difference. Reply
thebluesgnr - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkThe recommended Seagate ST380013AS is a SATA drive, as the last letter in its name implies. It should be noted that there's no ATA-100 8MB buffer 80GB drive in Seagate's newest line, the 7200.7.
I personally disagree with the motherboard. You can find nForce2 Ultra 400 from reputable makers and with much better power regulation for the CPU for less than the A7N8X-X.
the 9200 with a 128-bit memory interface is about 30-40% faster than the 9200SE with a 64-bit memory.
not everyone is a gamer. Having said that, you could upgrade this system to 2x256MB (preferably on a KT880 or nForce2 Ultra 400 board) and a Radeon 9550 128-bits ($70 on newegg) and it would play pretty much every game out there. Maybe not with high resolutions or filters, but people who care about those things can upgrade gradually.
Cocophone - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkOk here is a budget system that I just bought.
MB Shuttle AN35N Ultra $56.00
RAM Corsair Value 512 MB $77.00
VGA Sapphire Radeon 9200 128MB $64.50
CPU Barton 2500 $87.00
Total $284.50 from Newegg
I already have a case, hard drives, and monitor.
But I think with a little creative searching on the hot deal websites you could spend about $200 for those items.
I've been reading the Entry level guides for a couple of months and decide I wanted something between Entry Level and Mid-Range.
skiboysteve - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkIllissius you seem to have simply had a bad experience with your passive cooled card, I use a 9600 nonpro in my shuttle box and it is passive cooled, no problems. My brother also uses a pasive cooled card with no problems.
Cosmotic, a integrated solution as been talked about in many buyers guides but they are simply not as good as you think. The performance is very very poor, worse than the add in card mentioned here. They also lack features like DX8 or DX9 (depending on which, but you are refering to the DX7 nforce2 IGP) Also, they have problems with acceptable 2d image quality at higher resolutions like 1280x1024.
Link for performance comparisons:
I know toms sucks but the R9200 shows a 40% or so performance advantage over the IGP, not to mention DX8.1 and higher 2d image quality. Reply
skiboysteve - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkThe NF7-S rev2 is NOT the AN7 like you say here:
"the ABIT NF7-S Rev.2 (also known as the ABIT AN7) "
The AN7 is a more feature rich version which also includes "uGuru" tech. Reply
Illissius - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkHere's a factor for the video card I haven't seen being considered: I would not ever again want a card with passive cooling. I had a 9200SE with such, and it routinely overheated, usually during games but sometimes just in windows, and not only on hot days. The config came without a case fan, and adding one helped matters a bit, but it merely caused it to overheat less often - not stop doing it.
Seeing as the primary goal for the budget system is stability, I think this should be taken into serious consideration, even if it runs a bit counter to the quietness thing - that's entirely secondary in comparison. Reply
cosmotic - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkOk, seriously, why arent you guys recomending at least dual channel? Its going to increase performance without increasing price! GOD! And again, integrated nVidia Video cards with nForce2 is cheaper and better than these shitty add-in cards. This is so close the the last price guide for budget, yet it still has the same problems that I pointed out last time. You can make a budget system for 400 bucks with monitor shipped... with the same performance as this... Why arent you recomending it? Reply
john1022 - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkRe: The CaseEdge TS1 case.
pcclub shows this at 39.99, plus shipping to my zipcode of @5.00 for a total of 64.99.
NewEgg is offering the SLK3700AMB with 350 watt power supply for $66.00 delivered.
Considering the relative quality, especially the power supply, this seems to be a much better deal to me. Reply
AtaStrumf - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkWhere's the feakin' Sempron OC article we were promised ASAP almost 2 weeks ago. Damn it, I realy need to know how the 3100+ overclocks.
Damn that Doom 3 week! GRRRRRR! Reply
kherman - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkIMHO: Even a value computer these days should be able to play Doom 3. Why not a higher end video card? Reply
GhandiInstinct - Monday, August 09, 2004 - linkIn my opinion, better to save up for a system that can actually run good games than spend $542 on this system.
I think buying systems that are near high-end today, so that you are good for some months to come, makes more sense than buying a system that is out of date performance wise. Reply
