Possible isn't the same as plausible.
We're bringing in Bynum to strengthen an already strong team's weakness... not 'fix' a bad team.
I don't see how a chemistry issue can flare from that scenario. He's basically expendable if he doesn't fit the plan on any count.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
Reggie must not have been watching the Suns or OKC play much this year. The greatest threats to the Pacers this year are not the Heat, but a couple of the western teams
We we aren't the Patriots of the Nba. We are more like the Chargers.
This space for rent.
We should all chip in to buy them some Depends. Can you picture that? A package arrives at the Heat offices, with a tag that says "From the Indiana Pacers". Inside is a package of Depends!
No doubt this makes us better (even moreso IMO) than the Heat, but I dont think that he makes it any better of a matchup against the Thunder in a potential finals matchup... The Thunder is who we sould be concerned with and we have to get more out of Granger and Scola than we have been recently...
I don't think the worst case scenario for this is catastrophic. But it is pretty ******. If Bynum doesn't commit and/or doesn't get healthy enough to play, that is our last roster spot, another spot on the bench, and another space in the locker room. For fans, it's no harm no foul. But for the players and coaches, it's a relevant distraction, especially if national media is interested. Personally, I don't think he will have much impact at all, no matter where he went; I'd be surprised if this is anything more than a non-story by season's end.
It is interesting to see: 1. how many people are in favor of this now that Larry has gone through with it (it wasn't this much or this enthusiastic as before). 2. The backlash to the (relatively little) backlash is in full effect, despite it not needing to be.
FWIW, I'm not saying this as a Ian fan. I will be perfectly happy with Bynum playing minutes if he deserves them. I just think that is something we need to observe and not assume.
That's exactly what I remember reading on a RealGM thread. That doesn't mean it's true though. It just seems like there was something significant that happened but I doubt we will ever know.
It was his attitude and his lack of desire to play.
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
Not to pick on the guy … that last sequence just summed up why #Pacers went after Bynum— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 2, 2014
"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
There is a difference between "the risk is worth the reward" and " low risk and high reward". Especially when so many are saying "low" risk is absolutely no risk.
Attitude, especially during practice. He said he didn't want to play basketball and apparently he showed it on multiple occasions. That final suspension in Cleveland happened after he came to practice and was just insubordinate and jerking wild shots instead of participating.
Which also reminds me of that last season in LA, when Bynum was taking those 3s early in the clock out of some stupid stubbornness. Also, I recently read Kobe quotes about that Mavs sweep a few years ago and what lead to it; supposedly the team had people who disrupted practice all year long, although he didn't mention anyone by name.
It's worrisome but I'm sure they'd just cut him at first sign of trouble.
Roy didn't seem too enthused in the post game interview about Bynum's addition.
Playing for Cleveland can do that to a person. That team seems to have a LOT of problems.

"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
I think these negative worries are possible but not plausible.
I think the positive possibilities here are plausible but not probable.
Andrew Bynum,? What have you guys been smoking?
NBA basketball - taking my breath away since 1963.
The good ****.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
I wouldn't expect anyone of them to be enthusiastic about Bynum right now. He has a lot to prove. The potential reward is exciting, but far from guaranteed.
I've got my fingers crossed that he doesn't do to your team what he's done everywhere else. The guy is bat-poop nuts, a slacker and (from what I've heard from people who might know) is more capable of screwing up a locker room with stupid drama than anyone not named Dennis Rodman.
Good luck. I've got my hopes set on you kicking Lebron and the Heat right where they need to be kicked. If Bynum does anything to disrupt that, I'm not going to be a very happy playoff Pacers bandwagon fan.
NBA basketball - taking my breath away since 1963.
Until proven otherwise, I'm assuming he'll be on his best behavior here given our culture, winning %, and championship potential. I'm more curious about his long term health. I think if the health is there, we could be getting a significant upgrade at backup center. But I of course could be wrong.

minidsp ADC
I'm looking to get myself an active crossover as I'm moving into 2-way (and up) speakers systems from full range systems.
I have a question about the ADC part of the minidsp. I have a sizeable collection of vinyl, cassettes and like listening to analogue radio. Please can any users, or even the maker, give me any insight to the quality of this part of the system? I'd hate to go active only to degrade 3/4 of my music sources
Many thanks in advance
James - I play vinyl most of the time and haven't found my minidsp to be the limiting factor: the speakers, placement in the room and the room are.
Thats good news!
I imagine the set up is: vinyl source - mm pre - pre (with volume) - minidsp - amps - speakers
Is it better to use a volume control after the minidsp to make sure maximum signal get to the inputs of the minidsp?
probably the best option is to do the volume control IN the minidsp, with the potmeter connection.
thanks Henkjan
I'm having real difficulties with my internet t the moment. I cant get any pdf's to appear...........
oh hang on - got it
Quick question: is the quality of the volume pot important?
Anyone have a link to this ADC?Can´t find it..
do you mean the actual chip?
if not the minidsp changes all info from analogue into digital (ADC), then applies the processing (dsp, crossovers etc) and then from digital back into analogue (DAC)
What type of volume control does the control provide? Is it a reduction in data bit depth or a 'proper' volume control?
No its not a new product. Its part of the way the minidsp works as posted above. All the processing is done digitally so analogue info must be digitised (ADC)
Any ideas on how the volume function works?
Om nanoDigi it´s digital volumecontrol.
I once owned a minidsp where you connected 1 single pot to the board
so I would asume its ´s digital.

Superman/Batman #81 – Meddling in the Affairs of Wizard Batman [Review]
I recently talked about how I wished more comics were presented in the stand-alone story arc format used in Northlanders, and then this week realized that this is, strangely, the approach of DC's Superman/Batman.
It's not a perfect comparison. Superman/Batman is a book that rewards readers who have a good background knowledge of its title characters and often requires readers to know at least the basics about any guest stars showing up. But it doesn't demand readers to be paying strict attention to current continuity in order to appreciate the story.And it seems to be edging more toward telling longer stories, with the recent two issue Chris Roberson/Jesus Merino story now being followed by a four-issue arc, titled "Sorcerer Kings," by writer Cullen Bunn, penciller Chriscross, and inker Marc Deering. Bunn's supernatural western The Sixth Gun has been fantastic right from issue 1, and fans of that series will be glad to hear that Bunn's telling a story in Superman/Batman that's once more heavy on magic and once more off to a promising start.
Magic has been relegated to a strange position in the DC Universe. Its presence is undeniable, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of secret conspiracy of wizards actively keeping it a secret, but for the most part the rest of the world doesn't seem to care. Granted, that's because when you live in a universe with Superman and the Flash and the Green Lanterns and the New Gods, people aren't going to be as easily impressed by someone who can teleport by speaking the language of forgotten mystical lords or wield a sword that shoots skull-shaped fireballs that sing death metal in Sanskrit.
Still, given that magic's about as useful in your everyday spandex punch fight as any of other source of power, it's a little strange that magic based heroes always end up relegated to solving problems in the much beloved but infrequently visited magic corner of the DCU. It'd be like if Green Arrow were only allowed to get involved in fighting crimes that involved archery. Yet that's the fate of the Shadowpact, the team of magic heroes who tend to get assigned to deal with magic problems.
Bunn's story opens with Blue Demon, Ragman and Warlock's Daughter fighting off an army of demons swarming through a portal from an unknown source. They come to the aid of a mystery warrior wielding a giant glowing blue sword and wearing an intricately decorated suit of armor that seem to indicate he's been raiding instances in World of Warcraft. Unfortunately, said mystery warrior doesn't make it through the fight. Worse, he appears to be Superman, which makes the Shadowpact uneasy at best. And which makes Superman, when they find him and show him the dead body, seriously creeped out.
I've always liked the idea that Superman's weak against magic. Yes, it's a little silly that Superman can shoot heat rays and fly and have super strength because he absorbed the rays of our yellow sun and that's how science works, but then you can kill him by taking the rabbit out of your top hat and throwing it at his face. And yes, it does beg the question of why Lex Luthor hasn't tried wizarding Superman to death instead of relying on green, glowing, entirely scientific and non-magical rocks that drain him of his power. It's like the man has never read Harry Potter.
It's also a bizarre twist that a character who's one of the clearest example of being a wish-fulfillment fantasy is in turn vulnerable to the fantasies of his own world. Bunn shows signs that he'll be playing with Superman's uneasiness towards and possibly even fear of magic as the series goes on, and so far he's done a good job of showing the character's vulnerable side by confronting him with his weaknesses and his own mortality.
Following the shocking experience of seeing what looks like his own corpse, Superman's soon kidnapped by what is essentially alternate universe Wizard Batman. Armed with a Bat-Sword and a utility belt of mystic tools, this Batman needs another Superman to finish the mission of the one who'd been killed. The Shadowpact set off to rescue him along with the help of non-wizard Batman, who gets recruited in a scene involving Commissioner Gordon and Detective Chimp that made me realize that not enough comics have scenes between Batman, Commissioner Gordon, and Detective Chimp. Take note, DC, that needs to happen at least four times a year from now on.
The art team of Chriscross and Deering are asked to supply suitable magical fireworks to accompany the story's mystic fight scenes, where massive armies of demons are populated by many distinct and menacing creatures. Magical objects like Blue Demon's staff and Superman's glowing sword have fittingly ethereal appearances. The last splash page, in particular, has me excited to see what the world shown in the rest of the series will look like. And at the same time Chriscross and Deering are just as up to creating a fitting mood for a moonlit talk on top of the GCPD headquarters between two men and a monkey smoking a cigar.
"Sorcerer Kings" is off to a great start and I'll be looking forward to seeing where the next three issues take it. If you've been enjoying Bunn's The Sixth Gun, or if you're a fan of the Shadowpact or the magical side of the DC Universe, it's worth checking out.

There are plenty of essential tips for trade shows. Go big with images (craft your own iconic logo!), hospitality is key, fighting for a wide aisle is worth it, generate buzz via fun activities and demonstrations. And perhaps the number one tip: a lead is not like a date, and potential clients won't read you as desperate for promptly following up.
One essential tip that sometimes gets overlooked is to make sure that you're well-stocked with a variety of promotional materials. Especially if you've crafted an iconic logo or image for yourself, you'll want to disperse that as widely and effectively as possible. But when it comes to promotional items, there are five must-haves for every trade show attendee. Whether you're packing press kits, assembling prizes for a raffle or just lining up a host of items to show off and give away, make sure you've got these.
1. Custom pens
Take a second to peruse your desk, jacket pockets, purse or bag. Chances are, you've got at least one pen that's carrying promotional material on it. Whether it's a hotel you stayed at on a business trip, your bank, grocery store, favorite restaurant or some pharmaceutical company – custom pens are everywhere, and they travel far. Make sure you've got your own batch to send out into the world.
2. Promotional business card holder
Business cards are a no-brainer, of course – but what about a promotional business card holder? This is an especially great giveaway item, as trade shows are essentially games of 52 Pick Up played with business cards (and more like 502 Pick Up, too), so a holder is sure to come in handy for those who stop by your booth.
3. Promotional polo shirts
No one says no to a free shirt – but it's also great to grab a batch of promotional polo shirts for the employees working your show booth.
4. Custom lanyards
The same goes for these – your employees need them. But custom lanyards also offer a fun and stylish alternative to booth guests.
5. Custom hand sanitizer
Not to close on a germy note, but trade shows involve a lot of handshaking. And while handshakes usually mean good news, having custom hand sanitizer to rub in quickly before heading out to dinner is always a good idea. Spread it around.

Soggy fields hampered New York vegetable growers' spring planting, and some growers say there might be gaps in the supply this summer.
New York's major vegetable crops include sweet corn, squash, cucumbers, cauliflower and snap beans. In early July, growers were cutting cabbage, picking squash and harvesting cauliflower, and most were hoping fields would dry out so they could plant more vegetable crops.
Eden, N.Y.-based Eden Valley Growers' 150 acres of sweet corn were right on track in early July, said Dave Walczak, sales and operations manager. He expected harvest to be in full swing by late July, and said this season Eden Valley should ship its typical 42,000 crates of 4 dozen ears.
The region's wet and cool weather in April and May did not harm the co-op's corn crop. In early July, temperatures were still lower than normal with highs in the low 70s and lows in the 50s to 60s, Walczak said. Usually, highs would be in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
Walczak declined to speculate about corn prices in early July, saying it was too early to do so. He said he expects sweet corn supplies to be slightly tight this season. If they are, New York corn prices could be high.
On July 9, with supplies light and demand strong, southern Georgia's sweet corn prices for pre-cooled wire-bound crates of 4 dozen ears were at $14.95-16.95 for yellow or white, and $14.95 for bicolor, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported. Most of the region's shippers were done for the season, the report said.
A year earlier, southern Georgia's sweet corn prices were high because nationwide supply was light, the USDA reported. Prices for pre-cooled wire-bound crates of 4 dozen ears were $14.70 for yellow or bicolor, and $12.70 for white.
Gill Corn Farms Inc., Hurley, N.Y., planted its usual 1,400 acres of sweet corn this season. It was on schedule and quality looked good as of July 6, said Tim Richards, salesman. Though the fields received more rain than was needed at planting time, the company was finishing planting right on schedule on July 6. The fields had dried out and soil conditions were right for planting then, Richards said.
Sweet corn planting went well for A. Gurda Produce Co. Inc., Pine Island, N.Y., said Andrew Gurda, owner. The last two weeks of June brought lower-than-normal high temperatures around 70 degrees and rain, but no flooding. Frequent rainfalls made it difficult to get into the 100 acres of corn to spray for pests or disease, but Gurda said he doesn't expect quality to be adversely affected.
Gurda Produce lost some early corn to freezing temperatures. Some corn that was under plastic got burned in April when temperatures were in the 90s for a few days, Gurda said. Later crops looked good and will likely be harvested beginning in late July or early August.
Gurda said he expects some gaps in supply because of delays in planting caused by wet fields. He expects to ship about 10,000 bags, each with 50 ears of corn, as he did last year.
Lindy Kubecka, owner of Kubecka Farm, Kirkville, N.Y., said on July 8 that the company's crop looked good and she expected harvest to begin about July 20. Sweet corn is Kubecka Farm's largest crop. It has 100 acres of corn and about 100 acres of other vegetables.
Richards also expected Gill Corn to begin harvest by July 20, which is a typical start date, he said.
"We look for a good crop," Richards said. "It was excellent last year and it should be equivalent this year."
Richards said Gill Corn shipped more than 400,000 crates of sweet corn last season. He expects the company to ship at least that this season, unless weather problems arise. Gill Corn should finish harvesting by early October.
Eden Valley's green and yellow squash harvest was under way as of early July. The quality was good and prices were at $8-12 for ½-bushel cartons, Walczak said.
On July 9, ½-bushel cartons of small zucchini squash from Michigan were priced at $8-8.85 and ½-bushel cartons of medium zucchinis were at $6-6.85, the USDA reported.

"I really enjoy the chamber and everything that it stands for," Warner said. "We both want a vibrant, diverse business community that serves the region well."
Also recently joining the board is Damian Kussian of North Metro TV, who was appointed in October. Kussian is a former co-chairperson of the Young Professionals and currently produces the chamber's "Taking Care of Business" TV show on channel 15.
The 2014 board will be led by Bob Schlichte of Grand Casino Mille Lacs & Hinckley.
"Being involved in the north metro community is important to me as well as to Grand Casino," Schlichte said. "I look forward to an exciting 2014 and I am honored to be the board chairperson for the MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce".
Schlichte follows Patty Sagert of Rasmussen College Blaine Campus, who remains part of the 2014 leadership team as past chairperson. Other 2014 executive officers are Vice Chairperson Mike Mulrooney, Central Development Minnesota Company, and Treasurer Ted Erhart, Trott Brook Financial.
Outgoing board members, Duane Arens, previously with Connexus Energy, and Dean Richards, of Smith Schafer and Associates, both finished six years of service and held several leadership roles on the board.

Najwa Karam makes a vow to never film another song
Lebanese singer Najwa Karam stressed that she will never again film any of her songs in the form of a music video. Najwa's decision came after the failure of her last music video for the song "Iw'a Itkoun Za'ilit" (I Hope Your are not Upset), which did not witness any interest among viewers or even herself.
According to the London based daily, Al Sharq Al Awsat, Najwa recently completed the recording of her upcoming album which consists of seven songs, composed by a number of prominent composers. Najwa has been busy making arrangements for the wedding of her brother who is also her business manager.
Ever since the day Lebanese Karam entered the entertainment business, her two brothers Tony and Nicola were pulled in as well, but not as singers rather as her business managers. In a private interview held with Tony, he revealed two hidden secrets that he has been keeping for some time.
The first confession that Tony made was regarding the marital status of his sister Najwa. Tony admitted that the previous rumors of Najwa's divorce are in fact true and she has been separated from her husband, Yousef Harb, for the past nine months.
Tony also revealed that he owns a beautiful voice one that would have made a successful singer out of him, but he decided not to bring it out wanting to concentrate on his sister's success.
Last year in October, Najwa denied rumors circulating about her separation from her husband Yousef Harb. She had expressed her disturbance towards the rumors that were affecting her personal life saying that not allow anyone interfere in her personal life. She had expressed that she was happy with her life with Yousef and what was reported was an attempt to harm her image and happy marriage.
Two years ago, Najwa had surprised her family and fans with her marriage to Harb, a successful businessman younger than her by several years, living in Canada at that time. Harb is well known for organizing musical concerts in the US and Canada, for the big names in the Arabic music world, including George Wassuf, Kazem Al Saher, Najwa Karam as well as others.
Karam made her debut in the music world in 1985, with her participation in "Layali Lobnan" (Nights of Lebanon) performing Asmahan's song "Layali Al Ons" (Nights of Pleasure). She was awarded the program's Golden Medal for her outstanding performance at the event. – Albawaba.com

Frontman Trent Reznor said he has started 'recording things in a different way that was all based on performance' for the upcoming movie.
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has signed on to compose the music for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)" remake. The project will reteam the rocker and director David Fincher, who worked together on "The Social Network".
Reznor is up for a Golden Globe Award this Sunday, January 16 for his "The Social Network" score. He's also a favourite to land an Oscar nomination later this month.
"We started recording things in a different way that was all based on performance -- nothing programmed," Reznor said. "That would be my limited skills with stringed instruments... We'd process them in a way that really gave it an interesting, organic feel that felt like something we've never done before."

CHA2DS2-VASc score
From Ganfyd

Wikipedia on CHA2DS2-VASc score (Less technical, ? quality control)
The CHA2DS2-VASc score predicts clinical risk of stroke and thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation[1].
|Score if present
|Congestive Heart Failure
|Age ≥ 75 years
|Age between 65 and 74 years
|Vascular disease (previous MI, peripheral arterial disease or aortic plaque)
|Diabetes mellitus
Before bleeding risk evaluated score of 0 recommends no antithrombotic therapy and 2 or more antithrombotic therapy. A score of 1 recommends either antithrombotic or antiplatelet therapy. Consider a risk of bleeding assessment such as the HAS-BLED score before anticoagulation.
|It is always important to understand with a score what is excluded. This score is for non-valvular atrial fibrillation. For example the evidence base for anticoagulation with mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation was well defined years ago and so this score excluded such patients, most of whom are at high risk of stroke so should be offered anticoagulation
Score validation
Developed on the same principles as the CHADS2 score it considers additional stroke risk factors and gives age a higher weighing. This results in better discrimination between high and low risk patients[2].

Hmm well if Lulu's power is that of the 'King'... please no Sunrine, not something stupid like C.C. handing out powers like candy and giving Suzaku the power of the 'Knight' and maybe Euphie/Kallen the power of the 'Queen' etc. Quite frankly if this is the course the story is going to take I think it will take a large effort to force myself to watch the rest of it. And it has been going so well too...

holy orange~kun!
again this ep lives up to its name it was insane!

dam cliffhangers T_T "i want the next ep now!"
oh and have to mention how stunning C.C. is still ~ yep i think shes cutting off on the pizza ^_^

I finally managed to DL the raw. It seems like orange-kun might still be alive though the bleeding through the nose part probably means hes going to be hospitalised for a while. Interestingly enough, C.C tells Zero that she said she would protect him. I guess this means she's not likely to use Suzaku as a sub for Lulu, so there must be some other reason if Suzaku gets it. Although, giving the geass to a soldier that is likely to kill Lulu doesn't quite qualify as protecting Lulu....
Another alternate explanation is that someone used the geass on Suzaku?

If they do go with the whole C.C. jump ship to Suzaku's side, I hope it will turn out to be something like the following.
Suzaku continues to get more power ups but Lelouch manages to achieve close wins most of the time (like ep 1 and 2, cept with something less deus ex machina resolution)
Eventually Lelouch loses Geass and has to do a final showdown with the "zomg hax" Suzaku + the "Darwin is awesome" emperor.
Out numbered, out gun and out powered, with only his wit and whatever that is left of his royal followers, Lelouch will some how pull one last victory out that seemly screwed situation and proves that an idiot with all the powers in the world is still an idiot.
Well, that's what I want, but as long as they don't pull a Suzaku wins in the end just because his ideal (I said ideal, not action, his action doesn't make a lick of sense so far) is right bullshit, I'll probably be fine with it.

There are a number of impressive scenes throughout the series, various Lelouch moments, both times the Emperor has appeared, but Jeremiah struggling to endure the hellish torture the Crimson Lotus inflicted on him was simply magnificent. That's perseverance and guts for you. To think that a pup like Karen dared to, and succeeded in laying hands on the glorious flagship of Code Geass is insufferable. All that's left is to hope Jeremiah did not receive any mental or crippling physical injury.

At any rate, I think he'll be combat inefficient for a while - if not a long while. And it seems, from the preview, that Kewell might suffer the same fate (although it's not shown that it's Kallen pulling the same move on him) unless he proves he's got sharper wits and ejects before the irreparable is done.

Oh, I am well aware that Jeremiah is most likely completely and utterly screwed regarding his continued well-being, I am hoping against odds, after all. And yes, I do know the heart is a muscle, and I've never not known it.
>> Kewell might suffer the same fate
Kewell is in the process of ejecting in the preview.

Ah, Narita was where the scientists (from ep 3) moved their operations to. We saw them briefly in this ep worrying about being discovered. This suggests Cornelia doesn't know about the experiment Clovis was secretly conducting. Maybe we'll learn more about the C.C experiment next week.

Guren is quite the machine yes, but this arm will get old soon, better show me some other weapons. And compared to Lancelot thisis amuch more vicious machine made to slaughter not just kill especially if the ''kamehameha' is used much. No wonder it's red. BUt it's a perfect for a 1 onj 1 with Cornelia, it should be cuase in skill alone Kallen shouldn't stand a chance against Cornelia.

Points to be taken:
1. The queen is the most powerful piece on the board.
2. The king is the most important piece on the board. Kill the queen and the game still goes on. Kill the king and it's game over, baby!
3. A pawn is the most weakest piece, but has the potential to become a queen.
4. The rules of chess allow you to have two queens on your side on the board.
5. The kings cannot approach each other.
So Lulu is the king..he already has two queens on the board (C.C and Karen).
Todo will probably the knight. The PR guy will be the bishop. Karen's relative will be the rook.
On the Britannian side...
The emperor is the king. Cornelia is the current queen (who may be soon gone) Yuffie will probably be the next queen (maybe). Suzaku is the knight. Jeremiah is the rook. Villete is currently a pawn.
A rook/pawn combination is not bad, but a queen/knight combination is much more powerful.
One thing I noticed about Lulu's chess style is that he uses the king as a fighting piece, where the normal mode is to protect it. Which is a very good analogy on what he is doing now.

quina: You should have posted that in the Spoilers & Speculation thread.
One part i did enjoy about the Jeremiah scene was Kallen saying sorry just before she turned on the attack to Jeremiah. Its shows that she's not just a mindless killer, though she'll still do whatever she can to beat Britannia.

edit:let's add some more to that.
Sure' it's fits the scene with Jer trying desperately to get to Zero no matter how bad it is, but it's still a cruel way of disposing an enemy when IMO she could've just tore open the suit with that megahand of hers.
Not to mention that she revelaed one of her most powerful attack to the enemy like a complete n00b. Oh and she's getting overconfident , at least Suzaku isn't like that :P
yeah yeah yeah when you have power you must show it off, i was never a fan of such things but Lancelot did it so i guess it must've been done here as well otherwise all the whining babies would comaplin again ...

Some awesome artwork this episode. I'm really excited to see some high-budgeted sequences with the Crimson Lotus m. II.
Re: Suzaku: If the airing list is any indicator, it looks like Suzaku will get a Geass of his own. I'm guessing it does something different from Lelouch's, as has been suggested in this thread, but I have no idea what.

Van Theft Leaves Children Without Ride To School
On the west side of Columbus, Shawna Staub was left without a vehicle, and her children were left with no way to go to school.
10TV News discovered there has been an uptick in car thefts on the west side, which is why Staub's kids were unable to attend school Monday.
"I had just gotten it fixed, I've only been driving it for a week now," she said of the minivan stolen from outside of her home Sunday.
The van was recovered on Monday afternoon.
She was in her home when her neighbor's security cameras picked up two people at about 4 a.m.
The two walked past every other car on this street, making a beeline for her minivan.
"I felt targeted, they came straight for my vehicle," Staub said. "I feel violated."
Halfway through the heist, something caught the thieves' attention, causing them to briefly leave the vehicle, however they returned to finish the job.
"They've worked on it for so long, they decided that they just had to have it," Staub said.
Within 14 minutes of entering the minivan, they left the scene with the vehicle.
Staub said with the van went her children's ride to school and transportation for her ex to get to work, where he earns the child support money she needs.
"I worked hard for that, I owned that," she said. "It was mine, and they took it."
Police are sending out a warning tonight to residents on the west side of Columbus, an area that has been a hot spot for car thefts recently.
If it isn't found, Staub said it would be a long time before she can afford another vehicle.

Cherry Vanilla Protein Oatmeal
Recipe by Darrinw2001
This is partly from the Foodnetwork.com. I added the protein powder to give a balance of carbs and protein.
Top Review by Maito
I did not have protein powder, so I had to omit that. I made one bowl of this with dried cherries and cherry preserves (the amount was plenty for me). In the other bowl I used almond extract instead of the vanilla, freeze dried strawberries instead of the cherries (added them after it was cooked), strawberry jam, and added sliced almonds on top. Both were great combinations! I liked the stirring in of the milk at the end. I did use the salt. I think it brings the flavors out a bit, but it certainly is not necessary. The possibilities are endless here with different combos of jams, dried or fresh fruit, and nuts!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups cups water
- 1 cup old fashioned oats or 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup dried cherries
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cherry jam
- 1⁄4 cup low-fat milk
Directions See How It's Made
- Put water, oats, salt and cherries into a medium sized saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes for Old Fashioned Oats, or 1 minute for Quick Cooking Oats.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, protein powder and cherry jam. Put into serving bowls and pour 2 tablespoons of milk over each bowl.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/3/2013 (1611 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Lawrence Toet hopes to help volunteers in his constituency gain some national recognition.
The Elmwood-Transcona MP invited Canadians to nominate volunteers in their communities for the Prime Minister's Volunteer Awards. Individuals or groups of volunteers are welcome to be nominated, as are businesses and non-profit organizations.
Award recipients will be recognized at a ceremony, and can recommend an eligible non-profit organization for a regional $5,000 grant or a national $10,000 grant.
"The spirit of volunteerism is thriving in Elmwood-Transcona," Toet said in a release. "We have so many who give so much of their time for those around them. I encourage residents to consider whom they might nominate for their exceptional service."
Nominations are due by April 15. Nomination forms and more information are available at www.pm.gc.ca/awards.

Lukas Podolski, Bacary Sagna and Per Mertesacker weren't fit enough to participate in Arsenal's tour of the Far East, but the club found another way to use the famous trio.
The three players traveled to Nigeria and represented the Gunners in a soft drink commercial.
Mertesacker, Podolski and Sagna danced in a Malta Guiness (the low sugar version) commercial. Led by a woman named Kaffi, the Arsenal men showed differing levels of comfort during the dance (workout) routine.
Sagna gave a nearly flawless performance. That may have been why Kaffi put him in the front of the group.
Mertesacker wasn't bad, considering he's six-feet seven-inches tall. He was lampood for the lack of speed and agility he displayed in his first season in English soccer, but drinking Malta Guiness might help him improve in those areas.
Summer signing Podolski seemed to have the most difficulty keeping up with the pace of the dance. Maybe he should stick to singing Euro-pop tunes with local bands instead of sugar-infused workouts.
Arsenal had planned to play a preseason friendly in the West African nation, but cancelled the trip due to scheduling concerns. The three players put on a show, but Nigerian fans would probably prefer watching the real starting 11 ahead of the 2012-13 season.
Watch Mertesacker, Podolski and Sagna strut their stuff in the video below.

I majored in History in college, and although that is not what my degree is in, I am just fascinated by the topic. I am most fascinated by American history. We are such a young nation, not quite 300 years old, but we do have a lot of history revolving around the building of this country. We have had a lot of trials and tribulations growing as a nation and attempting to accomplish the Manifest Destiny of our nation.
My main topics for this site will be on American history. In fact about 90% of my articles will be on American history. I will also be writing about historical events and people from countries around the world. I hope to make this site a fun, as well as educational site, for everyone.
Come along on the journey with me and let´s all learn together.

The Monster ringleader opts for a princess-like look with a white deep-plunging gown that has a heavy train.
Lady GaGa became the center of attention when she attended the Paralympics after-party on Sunday night, September 9 in London. The Mother Monster turned heads as she stepped out of her chauffeured car wearing a heavy ball gown.
The outlandish singer stood out among the guests in a white strapless gown that has a deep-plunging neckline to show off her cleavage and a heavy train. She finished off her look with a matching headdress, gloves and high-platform shoes.
Also spotted coming to the party were Rihanna and Jay-Z. Both opted for comfy looks with the former lighting up the night with her orange t-shirt and pants and the latter wearing his signature all-black ensemble.
Earlier in the evening, Riri and the Hov teamed up with Coldplay to close the Paralympic Games at the Olympic Stadium. "What a blessed evening!!!! #Coldplay #HOV #paralympicsclosingceremony," she tweeted.

Petaluma murderer's conviction upheld
Updated 9:10 pm, Friday, November 23, 2012
A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the murder conviction of a Petaluma man who strangled his wife in their home.
Michael DeLongis was sentenced to 23 years to life in prison for second-degree murder in the September 2002 death of Kimberly DeLongis, 46, a real estate investor. Prosecution witnesses said that after she threatened to divorce him for habitual drinking, he kicked her down the stairs, pounded her head into the floor and then choked her to death.
His lawyer argued that the Sonoma County trial judge, Robert Dale, should have told jurors they could consider DeLongis' clouded thinking caused by drunkenness and alleged mental disorders as grounds for a conviction of manslaughter rather than murder.
Latest news videos
In Friday's ruling, however, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said such jury instructions would not have affected the verdict. DeLongis' testimony that he felt hatred for his wife, and his actions in deliberately beating and strangling her, showed that he acted with malice and was guilty of murder, the court said in a 3-0 ruling.
Defense lawyer Wayne Flick said the ruling was disappointing. "These are tough cases, for everyone involved, and we respect the court's decision," he said.

iPhone Wine App Review – Hospice du Rhone Event app
Today the Hospice du Rhone team launched a very cool iPhone app for its upcoming, globally attended wine event in Paso Robles, April 29th – to May 1st.
Apps for wine events seem to be coming into vogue, and less expensive to do. Last month Sonoma County launched its iVisit Sonoma County App, which had a feature on the Northern Sonoma Wine Road's Barrel Tasting.
I am a bit of a closet geek, after many years as an Exec in the Tech sector, before geek was chic. I buy lots of tech toys and gadgets, and won't give up my iPhone, despite lack of a keyboard, because of my 8 pages of apps, one for Wine apps alone. Fortunately I like wine more than being a geek, so this Wine blog, not a gadget blog!
I have played with a lot of regular apps, travel apps, and wine apps, and use most 1-2x and toss them. Obviously an app for an event maybe one you just use for that event (although I intend to use this after) so it really needs to be useful.
This is a very cool, useful app with 5 sections. I will do a walk thru of each.
This is a well organized sub-app that sorts all the Producers pouring. Its familiar as it functions like Contacts on an iPhone, with the Same A-Z quick find on the right.
Clicking a Producer shows their address website, email address, and most importantly what the winery is pouring, at the Friday and Saturday events. e.g If I click on Denner Vineyards, I see Friday they are pouring their 2009 Viognier, 2008 Ditch Digger, and 2005 (!) Grenache, and then what they are pouring at the Saturday Grand Tasting. (5 Wines…just reviewing this app is making my mouth water…!)
Well done, very useful, my only suggestion would be to add a search section at the top, as the iPhone contacts does.
Next on the sub app is a list of Wineries by Varietal, in Alphabetical order.
Looking for Cinsault, a Rhone red, and you can see only 4 wineries are pouring. I see Frick is one of the four, I can then click on Frick and see what else they are pouring, which day.
This app is great. My only suggestion: It's a very long list; I'd recommend putting a alphabetical sort key on right like the Producer, and/or a search tool, for quicker navigation.
Not really appellation sorting, more geography clusters. Arizona stands by itself with one Winery, Dos Cabezas. Clicking on that brings up the same data as the others sub apps do; a handy list of what the winery is pouring, which day.
Regions consist of: AZ, Australia, CA-Central, (the largest), CA-Northern (wineries like Arnot-Roberts a few miles from me never been to!, CA-Southern (2 entries), France, OR (one entry), South Africa (wow – 7), Spain, and WA state.

- HdR2010 Twitter Feed: (In case you don't know how to make a # tag list in Tweetdeck.) Don't plan on Me tweeting 20x a hour like some wine event attendees; with so many Rhone wines, and so few days, my hands will be on a glass, not an iPhone!
- Rhone Grape Variety Quiz: Fun quiz where you try and match a picture of a grape with what it is. Enthusiast mode offers flavor profile descriptors to help, Expert mode just a picture of the varietal. (Good luck on that one.)
- Hospice du Rhone trivia quiz: Match up artwork from previous HdR to the Year it was held.
Fun sub apps, would be nice if they offered up the answers at the end.
Settings Tab
A great way to make the app more focused; if say for the next hour you just want to focus on certain varietals, or the 'regions.' You can click on each varietal and region to have it excluded/included from your search. You can also chose whether to show just the Fri or the Sat tasting. It also shows totals for each varietal, and Region.
This is where you also setup your Twitter account. Twitter Integration with this app is excellent. When you click on a Winery, there is a red 't' icon, and you can see the Twitter feed for that winery, and Tweet to it. You can also view the main #HdR2010 Twitter feed, and Post to it.
A GREAT app, that in my opinion sets the bar for Wine events, and jumps passed the rest. It's fast, functions very well in off line mode (use it on the plane to plan your tasting!) easy to navigate, and useful for quickly looking up data I want for the event.
This will be much more useful, that flipping through a paper guide 25x a day. I may even have to get one of those around your neck wine glass holders I chuckle at so I can keep my hands free when using the app!
Kudos Team HdR2010 – Well Done!
p.s. Don't forget your chances to win free Grand Tasting Tickets, a $100 Value, first drawing this Wed night!

Just downloaded HdR2010 App!
While it doesn't look like Peter & I will be able to make it, we can still experience the event vicariously through the app & your posts of course, William.
P.S. Great post! Thanks for the info!
That's a tough one. Not many European whites are very dry. Maybe something Italian?
[…] was one of the first to use/review the HdR app last year, and it remains to this day, in my opinion the best winery/event app I have used. The basic review […]

From: Erik Naggum <email@example.com> Date: Tue, 02 Apr 2002 18:38:45 GMT Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <firstname.lastname@example.com> * firstname.lastname@example.com (MSCHAEF.COM) | How did you get to this speed? I can read such books at approx 30-40 | seconds/page, but any faster and I start to have issues with | comprehension. Are there any standard approaches to increasing reading | speed? There are many ways to learn to read (much) faster, but the first step is generally to acquire the motor skills and to learn to move your eyes and refocus at a very quick and steady pace. This takes quite some time, because, naturally, comprehension will suffer during this training, but the key is to focus on the speed and let comprehension follow, not to believe that missing something is so fundamental that you have to go back and re-read it or slow down. Then, learn to see a larger area of the line -- most people read in an area on the paper only a quarter of an inch wide, but you can expand this to at least one and a half inch, sometimes two. Reading glasses that correct for astigmatism is necessary to make this work well, as even a slight case of astigmatism may produce blurry vision and cause a strain to recognize words unless they are dead center in your focus area. It follows that you can read at a greater distance from the screen/paper and using smaller fonts the better your corrective lenses are. This effect should not be underestimated. Also, approach reading as you approach other sensory input: increase your observational skills by learning to soak up as much as possible as it flows by. Nature has no rewiding button -- treat reading the same way. This is generally a question of concentration and reading with a definite purpose to understand or visualize what is presented to you. In this sense, reading faster is just a case of increasing your internal clock speed. Most people can do this with no problem, but few people make a habit of it, because it does require more mental energy to be spent both in increasing and maintaining concentration. I believe it is a question of whether you can also "listen" to a text instead of wanting to make sense of it or make it fit your preconceptions of what it "should" say. Some people seem to approach the world with a prescriptive attitude -- or forcing the world they deal with to conform to their current thinking -- while others never stop observing it in order to form their current thinking. Most of the former are unable to understand that the latter type even exists because they are guided by their preconceptions, not their observations. In any case, those who are able to observe the flow of information thet they are subjected to, can also learn to read fast mechanically and decide to focus more or less on what they read, somewhat like having CNN or some news-only radio station run in the background. The sensory input to which we are naturally prepared to be subjected is truly vast, and so much more than reading a page or a screen offers, yet the amount of information that becomes the subject of conscious awareness if quite limited -- unless one concentrates on absorbing first and selecting afterwards. Strangely, many who start to read faster observe that they get much better reading comprehension from reading mechanically faster and "letting go" of their need to comprehend fully at all times, because they allow more of the comprehension to proceed less linearly. This also relaes to how we deal with speed. One of the major reasons that older people drive more slowly than younger people is that their processing speed is so much slower that sensory overload incurs below 40 mph, while a younger person who has been trained to speed up his cognition can easily drive more safely at 100 mph. Things like talking to another person in the car, listening to the radio (with varying focus) or talking on a cellular phone (handsfree or not does not make any difference) eats away at the concentration and require reduced speed. The same goes for reading, although the ability to block out annoyances has no safety risk associated with them. In a nutshell, this is all about concentration. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none. In a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief.

PHP Security – Weak salt vulnerabilities
July 17th, 2009 No comments
Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty again?
- Jesus
Salting your hashes is a good thing. It adds another level of protection to your hash, and prevents the effectiveness of rainbow tables should your hash get out. It's been standard practice to use a salt when storing passwords and similar information for almost 30 years now. Using a weak salt can significantly reduce the protection it will give you. Also, use of a salt should just be an additional level of protection to your hashes – not your only protection. However, the use of a salt doesn't suddenly mean that sharing your hashes with the world is a good thing.

Group B round-up
Russia opened up a lead at the head of Group B as Ireland and Slovakia drew, while Armenia won.
Last Updated: 02/09/11 11:25pm
Russia opened up a two-point gap at the head of qualifying Group B as Ireland and Slovakia drew, while Armenia boosted their faint qualification hopes.
Igor Semshov netted the all-important winner as Russia passed the first test in a crucial week as they edged out Macedonia 1-0 in Moscow.
His 41st-minute strike proved the difference between the sides and Russia will now turn their attention to the visit of fellow challengers, the Republic of Ireland, on Tuesday.
The Republic's hopes suffered a blow as they could only manage a goalless home draw against Slovakia, with both sides now locked on 14 points.
Slovakia next face an Armenia side who won 3-0 against bottom team Andorra to move up to 11 points and keep their faint qualification hopes alive.
Marcos Pizelli opened the scoring on 35 minutes before Gevorg Ghazarian netted a crucial second on 75 minutes.
The game then witnessed late drama as Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored a last-gasp penalty and Ildefons Lima was sent off for a professional foul.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
What you eat or drink can change the texture of your sperm. Normal sperm can include chunky, clear, white, gray, thin. It can also change if someone ejaculates more often or less often as well. It's when there is an odor, burning, or pain or tinted with blood is when there is time for concern: Other wise what you are describing is normal.
As far as taste: Kiwi, watermelon and celery are all said to lighten the taste of semen.. Plus, blueberries and cranberries, pineapples can give a sweet taste.
Some things to avoid are coffee, beer which can give a bitter taste along with Dairy products.
So set him up with plenty of fruits for a couple of days and go from there.
Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don't forget to click the *ACCEPT* button and leave *POSITIVE* feedback.
Although eating or drinking fluids may help with changing texture, it won't change it enough to allow just a milky texture. Semen is "normal" when chunky, sticky etc., as this is what allows the sperm to stay inside a woman better so that conception can occur. So to turn it all over to just a milky substance won't occur. If men generally go a long time between ejaculating, there can be more of a build up of being chunky/stringing etc vs someone who ejaculates more often.
Some people say taking Zinc and Vitamin E is good to help, but do remember normal semen will and should be chunky etc.
Make sense?

U.S. Under-23 MNT Arrives in Mexico, Begins Training
U.S. IS FIRST OF EIGHT CONCACAF TEAMS TO ARRIVE IN GUADALAJARA: The majority of the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team contingent arrived in Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city behind Mexico City, on Thursday night (Jan. 22) after meeting and connecting in Houston. Forward Edson Buddle (Columbus Crew) arrived late Thursday evening, while defender Zak Whitbread (Liverpool -- England) and forward Landon Donovan (San Jose Earthquakes) were the last of the 22 players to arrive, coming in Friday night. U.S. U-23 MNT head coach Glenn Myernick will pare the roster to 20 players by the end of the week in advance of CONCACAF's Jan. 31 deadline. The full 22-player roster is below:
GOALKEEPERS (2): D.J. Countess, Doug Warren; DEFENDERS (8): Nat Borchers, Jose Luis Burciaga, Ricky Lewis, Chad Marshall, Logan Pause, David Stokes, Zak Whitbread, Chris Wingert; MIDFIELDERS (7): DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman, Brian Carroll, Bobby Convey, Brad Davis, Eddie Gaven, Kyle Martino; FORWARDS (5): Edson Buddle, Landon Donovan, Alecko Eskandarian, Ed Johnson, David Testo.
Saturday, brushing off his knowledge of the language with a smaller group of "periodistas."
...AND A WELL-DESERVED DAY OFF: After looking sharp in all four training sessions over the first two days, Myernick rewarded the team with all of Sunday off, allowing players time to visit a nearby pool (the pool at the Fiesta Americana is currently being remodeled), shop at a big mall down the road from the hotel, catch up on Mexican soccer, and/or continue exchanging poker chips via an onrunning game of "Texas Hold 'em." Goalkeeper D.J. Countess and midfielder Brad Davis (both of the Dallas Burn) have been the two biggest competitors so far, repeatedly squaring off in the "best-hand-out-of-seven-cards" version of poker recently popularized on ESPN2's "World Series of Poker" tour and Bravo's "Celebrity Poker." The jury is still out on whether their success is due to the fact that they both currently reside in the state of Texas. Other players navigated through some poor television offerings to discover "The Graduate" on A&E. Many had never seen the movie before and were
suprised to find out that the Simon & Garfunkel song "Mrs. Robinson" is in fact about Anne Bancroft's character in the movie. To cap the day off, the team is being treated to a taste of American food with Domino's Pizza being delivered for a late dinner.
"REVANCHA EN LA CANCHA," PART TWO? THAT'S NEWS TO US: Unbeknownst to the team, one of the bigger story angles in the papers and on the radio since the U.S. U-23's arrival has dealt with revenge that has to do with another sport. Apparently, the USA Soccer team has come down to Guadalajara with one mission: to keep Mexico from qualifying for Athens in order to make up for the shocking loss that they handed to USA Baseball several months ago. This news was quite a surprise to the players, who figured Mexico would be the ones with revenge on their mind after last year's volatile 3-1 loss to the U.S. U-23s on May 14 in Guadalajara in the same stadium that Group A teams will play their first round matches. The U.S. can only hope that the fans of Guadalajara have forgotten the image of one of their defenders laying in the goal with his foot caught in the net after an 85-yard fluke goal by forward David Testo (Richmond Kickers -- A-League) in the 92nd minute. In the original match dubbed "Revancha en la Cancha," Mexico was supposedly out for blood in their first match with the full Men's National Team since the 2-0 loss at the 2002 World Cup, but the mix of fans in sold-out Reliant Stadium had to settle for a well-mannered 0-0 scoreless draw on May 8 in Houston.
TIME CHANGE FOR FEB. 7 MATCHES: The U-23s have learned that the kickoff time of their third and final Group A match on Saturday, February 7 versus Honduras has been changed from 8 p.m. to 1 p.m. (local/CT). Panama and Canada will square off at 11 a.m. in the first match of the day at Estadio 3 de Marzo. The U.S. team's first two matches -- Tuesday, Feb. 3 vs. Panama and Thursday, Feb. 5 vs. Canada -- will still be played at 8 p.m. Fans can follow all three matches live via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics.
D.C., NOT COLUMBUS, LEADS THE WAY WITH FIVE PLAYERS IN CURRENT CAMP: Although incorrectly reported in the U-23 roster release on Jan. 22 that the Columbus Crew lead the roster with five players, it's actually D.C. United who provides almost a quarter of the total players with goalkeeper Doug Warren, defender David Stokes, midfielders Brian Carroll and Bobby Convey, and forward Alecko Eskandarian. The Crew have midfielder Kyle Martino, forward Edson Buddle and recently drafted defenders Chad Marshall and Chris Wingert. The Crew are interested in forward David Testo as a possible Discovery Player, but no contract has been signed nor a loan been arranged with his A-League club.
U-23s FEATURED PROMINENTLY IN CURRENT ISSUE OF "CENTER CIRCLE": The U.S. Under-23s are the subject of over half of the current issue of "Center Circle," U.S. Soccer's online magazine, including a "Where Are They Now?" kind of piece about the 2000 Olympic Qualifying team, a Q&A with forward Conor Casey, a first-hand account of his rookie season in the A-League by Testo and some trivia on U-23 history.

Sturdy and heavy but needs modifications
There was some shipping damage, but repairable. Overall the product is well built with an easy-to-assemble design. But the attachment of the granite top should be stronger, so I added a brace. The drawers do not have rollers, but they seem to slide well for now. Perfect size and wood finish. The top of the utensil holder was difficult to align and had weak clip attachments that I decided to replace with my own brackets. If you want an assembly with no modifications, this is not the choice for you. The black granite top looks and feels great, but easily shows dust and fingerprints.Read More
Handy and robust
Robust but elegant - Took a while to put together, but well thought out. two wide drawers would have been more practical at the bottom with shelves above.: Would avoid having to bend down all the wayRead More
Just the right size and look
Not every hole needing a screw was perfectly milled, and the instructions could have been much clearer, but I got this put together just fine, though I did have the help of a neighbor. For the holes that needed adjustment, I just put my screwdriver in once and pulled it back out. I also loved that all the hardware was grouped into *labeled* baggies, so that you don't have to go buy their drawing to figure out what each hardware piece is. But the drawings to go by are pretty bad... Some are drawn at the wrong angle, so they don't show you which hole needs which part... you see the back side of the part with all the holes! That's frustrating. It would have really helped if they'd label each hole somehow. Or if they'd just improve the drawings. And one other positive point: no parts were missing.Read More

Headed to a return
I have three people here right now trying to assemble this item, to no avail. The hardware doesn't create firm enough locks when assembling for the pieces to fit together. I got here after spending several - and I mean SEVERAL - hours trying to assemble this myself. 3 construction/contractor regulars are having no better luck. I'm wondering if the other reviews here were paid for by this company given how badly this is put together from an assembly stand point. If someone else had a better experience, please let me know, but I'm almost ready to leave Overstock as a result of this experience. There is no way a product like this should be listed on this site.Read More
Questionable Marble top quality
This piece of furniture looks great and would have been a good purchase had the black marble top not been flawed and/or damaged. In the initial order the top had a large white mark in it. A new one was sent. The new top had dings and chips. A third one was sent. It was also chipped. None of the damage was shipping error as the boxes were completely undamaged. I ultimately gave up and went back to the first top. The customer service team were great in responding to this situation. I could not have asked for a better response. But the tops kept coming out damaged which I ultimately figure was a manufacturer problem. Other than this the cart is beautiful and fits very well in my small kitchen. The directions are a little confusing so be prepared for a bit of trial and error and a couple of hours of assembly. But once it is done it is a nice looking piece. Assuming that the top is right.Read More

- I think this question is hyperbolic. There are very few things that I really couldn't live without. Work, I suppose - I go crazy very quickly if I don't have something that I HAVE to do, rather than just projects that I'm choosing to work on.
- I'd rather have my crocheting too, and my music library (whether on ipod or computer) and my movie/tv show collection, but I'm hardly going to expire tomorrow without them.
Really. That's it. I'm usually fairly wary about progressing past that - if it happens, it happens, and that'd be great, but if I get the sense that you're pushing too hard in that direction I'll be likely to close down. And if you actively try to persuade me into something I don't want to do, I'm afraid you're a dick and that's that (but I sincerely hope you already knew that!).
So, basically, I'd rather approach it as looking for a friend, in the first instance. Anything else is a bonus.
