Greenblink (4)Fall Out Boy's first full length, (and arguably to many fans best album) is a far cry from...Altmer (4.5)Who'd have thought? Fall Out Boy's debut record has got actual replay value! And twelve go...kiss-me-electric (4)...Storm In A Teacup (3)...
CemeteryDrive (4)This is solid pop-punk-- and very solid, at that....ayejaydevine (4)Although still flawed, this debut proved that the band once had potential to do great thin...nag*with*a*gun (4)...
GREAT band and album good song picks
I've only heard Saturday and I thought that was a pretty strong song so if you say it's the weakest I might check this album out. Good review
I personally love the song Saturday but great review and great band.
nice review well done for a first go. But after a few listenings i found the album got a bit boring and monotonous sorry but thats just my opinion.
Yeah, I really can't get into any of fallout boy's songs. I just find nothing that special about them.
Good Review:thumb:
I was with some friends a few days ago and one of my friends had a CD player and I was like -
"What you listening to?"
and he was like -
"Fallout boy"
And well that was the first time id ever heard of Fallout boy. Not really my kind of music though so, meh.
I can't believe it's taken this long for a band with a Simpsons-themed name to get any kind of popularity. Note to self: naming a band after your favorite TV show is not the way to go.
*yeah, I know they didn't think of it themselves, but that's for me to keep in mind*
Album Rating: 4.0when i 1st heard "grand theft autumn" i knew i had to buy this cd,and im glad i did. its freakin awsome!
nice review for a first go. well done! this album is good and I like the band. I just found that after a few listenings it gets a bit boring and monotonous and the songs just kinda meld into on blurry sound. So bit of advice dont listen to it over and over again like I did and make yourself sick of it! :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=cbmartinez24]Yeah, I really can't get into any of fallout boy's songs. I just find nothing that special about them.[/QUOTE]
...i'm responding to an old reply...oh well.
yeah the only song i heard was grand theft autum. there are 3 versions of the song, a remix, acoustic, and regular. the best is acoustic...i think
Album Rating: 3.0Best. Pop-punk. Band. Ever.
That's probably exaggerated, but they were grrreat when I saw them in Nashville last Wednesday. The one problem was the last song ("Saturday"). It was out of tune enough to make me cringe throughout most of the song. Seemed like the guitars and bass were all tuned differently, and all the vocal parts just picked one tuning and went with it. Matchbook Romance played before them and their last song also seemed out of tune. Must be a conspiracy. Anyway, if you enjoy Fall Out Boy's best songs, check out the acoustic EP that they just released, I usually can't get into anything acoustic, but that EP changed my mind.
This has to be one of the best cds ive ever heard. When i went to their concert (10/20 in Tempe, AZ) they played their songs really good live so i give them props for that. My favorite of their songs... either chicago is so two years ago or tell mick he just made my list of things to do today
Great album. Good first review. I agree that the singer of FOB definately adds something to the band. But great band nevertheless.
Ah, you heard the song Dead On Arrival a year ago huh? Was it on a free compilation CD that came with Kerrang! by any chance?
Alright review, I must say. *Thumbs Up*
Fall Out Boy's name came from the Simpsons? What does it have to do with the show? Anyway, I definitely wouldn't give this 5 stars but good review anyways. I think these guys are the only band that I like whose debut came out in 2003 or later.
Album Rating: 4.5I love Grand Theft Autumn/Where is Your Boy it is the best song on there!!!

During CC Sabathia's start last night, there was no indication his knee was giving him an issue. However, when Sabathia woke up this morning, his knee had fluid and he suffered another setback in his quest to return to the staring rotation.
"He said nothing during the game about it," manager Joe Girardi said. "He woke up today (and felt it). That is the report that I got, that today it was swollen and it was similar to what he had been experiencing before."
Sabathia was sent to get an MRI this morning; he last had one in May which later led him to have a stem cell injection. The Yankees were anticipating on getting Sabathia back shortly after the All-Star break. Now, Girardi's not sure on what Sabathia's next step will be.
"His velocity was good," Girardi said. "But he woke up today with swelling, so they did another MRI and we're waiting to see what the next step is. I can't tell you how long he's going to be shut down. We'll talk to Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Andrews probably over the next couple of hours and we have to figure out what's next. … We were hopeful that the swelling would stay away and he would be in our rotation fairly soon, but it doesn't appear that that is going to be the case."
With Sabathia's recent setback, does this mean the Yankees are going to look outside the organization for help?
"I don't think our organization's thinking ever changes," Girardi said. "I think they're always looking to better our team no matter what. I'm sure we've been scouting players just like every other team in baseball has. I think the approach will still be the same because I think when someone's injured you can never count on 100 percent that they're coming back."
Some Notes
— Mark Teixeira is back in the lineup tonight after having his knee drained. He said it was bothering him for a couple of weeks and Dr. Ahmad figured it would have been better if he had gotten his knee drained now than it causing problems later in the season.
— Why did the Yankees bring up Zelous Wheeler and what is his role here?
"Obviously we talk about the roster down there all the time," Girardi said. "We had good reports on Zelous and what he'd been doing and the way he'd been playing third base. He played some outfield as well, so we thought, you know what, he's going to get an opportunity. … Obviously Kelly's still going to play a lot of third base as well, but with Solo struggling in the month of June, we thought it would be helpful to try to send him down and get him going again."
— What did Joe Girardi tell Yangervis Solarte when he heard he was being sent down?
"(We told him) go get back on track like you were in spring training," Girardi said. "Sometimes it's hard to get back on track when you're young kid and the at-bats weren't coming as consistently. Go back. Get on a roll. Good chance we'll see you again."

Undergrounds | Basics Guild Wars 2 Guide
Undergrounds are optional PvE locations, which require perfectly tuned teams with powerful items as rewards and tokens which can be exchanged for an exotic weapon or armor. They're also one of the stage to craft the legendary weapon.
At this moment there are eight undergrounds in the game:
Story mode level
Exploration mode level
Ascalonian Catacombs
Phasmatis Corridor
Plains of Ashford
Caudecus's Manor
Shire of Beetletun
Twilight Arbor
Wychmire Swamp
Caledon Forest
Sorrow's Embrace
Tribulation Rift
Dredgehaunt Cliffs
Citadel of Flame
The Baelfire
Fireheart Rise
Honor of the Waves
Watchful Fjord
Frostgorge Sound
Crucible of Eternity
Infinite Coil Reactor
Mount Maelstrom
The Narthex
Cursed Shore
Before going on, you can choose between two game modes: story mode and exploration mode. They are briefly described in the following paragraphs.
Story mode
Only available mode at the first attempt to the underground. Some NPCs will join your team and tell about the history of Destiny's Edge. Difficulty level isn't high in this case and even playing with the new friends you can achieve a success. Completing the story mode unlocks an access to the exploration mode.
Exploration mode
It's the main mode of the game, where you collect tokens and can search all, previously unavailable, parts of the dungeon. It's much more difficult than the previous one and requires better teamplay, proper skills and equipment. In this mode the team may decide which quests you should complete (there is a vote, the majority decides) and run into typical random events like cave troll attack. Thanks to the randomness of events and few available paths you can replay every underground, getting a new adventure each time.
It's worth be mentioning that monsters in the dungeon don't respawn and the new waypoints are periodically unlocked. Team members can be changed any time, and those who didn't complete the story mode may take part in the exploration mode if they're invited by the player who did.
As I mentioned, the most important motivation of going to the undergrounds are rewards. During the exploration you find not only loot from defeated enemies and chests full of treasures, but also various tokens, depending on the underground you're in. They can be exchanged at traders in Lion's Arch in the Fort Mariner for rare or exotic items related to the particular dungeon. So while exploring the Citadel of Flame you get mostly equipment connected with the fire: armors with Baelfire rune or flaming swords and axes. But remember, that the weapon you can buy, won't be more powerful from the one you can craft or find in the other location, their main value is an unique appearance.
Undergrounds are perfect for increasing your ability in fighting with the most powerful enemies in the PvE and also get tones of items for trade and dismantle. What is more, tokens encourage to complete undergrounds many times: everyone wants to look uniquely.

By RICHARD J. MEISLIN
Published: November 6, 1985
While most voters pulled the lever next to the candidates of their choice yesterday, some New Yorkers made their selections amid flashing lights, push buttons and soft electronic tones.
The election provided the first on-the-job test in New York of electronic voting machines that - if the Legislature approves - are expected to begin replacing the mechanical models that have been in use for more than three-quarters of a century.
Machines by various manufacturers were shown, and in some cases used, in New York City and three upstate counties. Evaluations of the test will be made by the Temporary State Commission on Voting Machine Equipment and Voting Registration Systems, which is to recommend to the Legislature in January specifications for electronic voting booths.
In Queens, 10 machines manufactured by the R.F. Schoup Corporation of Bryn Mawr, Pa., were used to record the vote. Voters, although a bit startled, seemed to take them without complaint.
Blinking Red Lights
''I'm just so used to pulling that lever,'' Ernestine Hastie of Springfield Gardens said after casting her ballot in the auditorium of Springfield Gardens High School. ''But I didn't have any problem with it.''
Among the effects that the Schoup machines seemed to be having, according to election officials, was to increase voting on the propositions, which are often skipped over by electors. The machines indicate with a flashing red light which races have not yet been voted, and many people seemed reluctant to leave the booth without stopping all the lights from blinking.
''People are actually taking the time to answer the questions,'' said Terry Kennedy, a computer programmer and analyst from San Juan County, N.M., who was on hand at the school, at 143-10 Springfield Boulevard, to help with the machines. ''You can tell who hasn't read them before they go in there.''
He said the same effect had been noted in New Mexico when the machines were installed.
Visits to Test Sites
Electronic voting booths by Computer Elections Systems of Berkeley, Calif., and Automatic Voting Machines of Jamestown, N.Y., were also on display at some polling places in the city, but were not used to record the vote. In addition, five counties tested absentee ballots that, using computer punchcards or machine-readable markings, can be counted by machines.
Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, Democrat of Manhattan and a member of the panel on voting machines, visited several test sites yesterday and found the response encouraging.
''I feared tremendously that people would look in awe at the machines and would be frightened and wouldn't be voting,'' he said. ''I was surprised by the voters' reactions, which were generally positive.''
That some type of electronic booth will be approved is a near certainty, Mr. Silver said. The mechanical machines - which were also made by Schoup - are no longer being made, he said, and ''parts are being cannibalized'' from some machines to keep others operating. #7,000 Machines in City The new machines also are smaller and lighter, which would save on storage and transportation costs, offer nearly instant tallies when the polls close and can be quickly adjusted for people in wheelchairs.
The New York City contract will be a major one. With more than 7,000 machines in use in the city and the price of a machine at about $3,500, a complete changeover would run in excess of $24 million. The rest of the state, according to the executive director of the State Board of Elections, Thomas W. Wallace, is expected to take somewhat longer.

Wrong-way crash kills Wareham man
Christopher Elicier left his Wareham home at 10 p.m. Saturday just as he did for the past 22 years for every one of his night shifts at the Taunton State Hospital.
But on Saturday, he never arrived.
Elicier's vehicle was hit head-on by another driving the wrong way on Interstate 495 in Wareham late Saturday night, killing Elicier and critically injuring the wrong-way driver, according to State Police.
"We got a call from a friend that he works with that he hadn't arrived yet," said Patricia Cullen, 75, Elicier's mother-in-law.
She said Elicier's wife, Cathleen, thought his car may have broken down and left to retrace his steps. She came upon the crash, and state troopers explained the situation, Cullen said in a phone interview Sunday evening.
Phendy Pamphile, 26, of Brockton, was driving the wrong way on the northbound side of the highway, when he crashed into Elicier, 43, around 10:20 p.m. Saturday, State Police said.
Elicier was ejected from his 2012 Hyundai Veloster coupe and was pronounced dead at the scene, State Police said.
Pamphile was trapped in his 2007 Lexus IS200 sedan after the collision, and the Jaws of Life were required to remove him from his vehicle.
He was taken to Tobey Hospital in Wareham for a serious leg injury but was later moved to Rhode Island Hospital by medical helicopter, said State Police.
Pamphile was listed in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon, according to Rhode Island Hospital.
State Police said that neither driver was wearing a seat belt.
An investigation is being conducted to determine why Pamphile was driving his car in the wrong direction. State Police said there is no indication that alcohol was involved, but it has not been ruled out as factor in the crash.
After authorities conclude the investigation, a decision will be made on whether any charges will be filed against Pamphile, a State Police spokesman said.
After the crash, authorities shut down the entire interstate between Exits 1 and 2 until 1:45 a.m. Sunday .
Cullen said that Elicier was liked in the community.
"He was always helping people who needed help," she said of her son-in-law. "He loved fishing, it was one of his favorite past times. He recently took up photography. He was wonderful.
"I'm paralyzed from back surgery. Chris helped take care of me. He'd make my breakfast and give me my pills and help get me out of bed and so forth."
Cullen said her daughter was married to Elicier for 19 years and that they were high school sweethearts.
The couple has two sons, Jordan, 15, and Ryan, 6.
Cullen said that the family was in the middle of making arrangements for Elicier.
"It's a tremendous loss," she said. "He was a wonderful son-in-law. He was a wonderful father and husband."

Question for shaper/painter.
if you paint the bottom of your board and it is un even you will effect performance, it can create drag.
Jul 14, 2012, 08:43 PM #3
As A2 said, excessive "texture" created by the paint/glaze can cause drag. So you need to think about gloss coating over the paint, and sanding/polishing to get a smooth surface. It will also make the colors pop. However, if you plan on doing the grain nose-to-tail, the ripples will run lengthwise, which will minimize the effects of that drag. If you scroll about half way down this page... http://forum.realsurf.com/forum/view...p?f=24&t=19163 ...you'll see that there are theories out there that actually use seemingly strange bottom textures to create desirable performance characteristics.
Be sure you prep the surface properly before putting down your paint. I've done exactly what you're doing, but on foam, and had great success. People SWORE what they were seeing under the glass was wood.
Jul 14, 2012, 09:48 PM #4
I've never done a "jet bottom" or "Jick bottom" board. Honestly, I don't buy into the theory. But I've done many channel bottom boards... some straight channels, some curved... some U-shaped grooves, some V-shaped, some wedge shaped... And yea, glassing them is fun stuff. Ha! As for sanding, I always did it by hand, and made sure that when it was hotcoated, no excess resin puddled into the channel. A tight lam and no puddling are THE KEYS to proper channel bottoms.
I like how they look, in theory it could work where you have more water running through the channels to gain more grip from side-to-side motion wise. Gotta hand it to them Aussies

Partner Selection Criteria in Strategic Alliances When to Ally with Weak Partners
In many emergent markets, cross-industry alliances are necessary to develop and market new products and services. The resource-based view suggests that firms form alliances to access or acquire valuable, rare, non-imitable and non-substitutable resources, and that such access determines the level of profits. Hence, firms confronted with the choice between partners with strong versus partners with weak resource endowments should choose the former. We contest this view and argue that firms benefit from allying with weak partners at certain times. In essence, we suggest that partner selection involves assessing the relative importance of strong resource endowments and aligned strategic aspirations over time. By adopting an evolutionary approach, we show that appropriate partner selection criteria are dynamic and may involve allying with weak partners in the initial exploratory stage, with weak and/or strong partners in the development stage and with strong partners in the maturity stage. Our findings suggest that the resource-based understanding of strategic alliances should be extended to include a more profound role for a partner firm's strategic aspiration.

Rajasthan were bowled out for 275 in the final session on the fourth day of the Irani Cup at the Chinnaswamy stadium, handing Rest of India (RoI) victory by an innings and 79 runs, their 23rd outright win in 51 editions. There was no miraculous Rajasthan fightback, but on a day of run-outs, they could blame their communication skills for having failed to take the game into the final day.
The pitch stayed true for the majority of the day, except for a few Pragyan Ojha deliveries that turned sharply or at times kept low, and Vineet Saxena and Hrishikesh Kanitkar were in the zone right from the first ball. They tackled Ishant Sharma, who bowled a steady line to start the day from the pavilion end, and Umesh Yadav with ease and looked intent on making use of the conditions to rack up personal milestones.
Running between the wickets was the lone area the pair looked vulnerable in and eventually it cost them. Once they fell, the RoI bowlers needed just over a session to wrap things up and earn a day's rest.
Saxena, who has the third-longest innings in first-class cricket in terms of time –he batted for 907 minutes in last season's Ranji trophy final against Tamil Nadu –, was first to go after a 66-run partnership. After playing Ojha to square leg on the back foot, he ran. Kanitkar was late to respond to the call and before he could alert Saxena, Ishant dived in to throw the ball to Dinesh Karthik, the wicketkeeper.
Kanitkar, who flicked and straight-drove Yadav for consecutive boundaries to start the day, looked comfortable and solid throughout his 204-minute stay in the centre, except for an inswinger from Stuart Binny that took the inside edge and a delivery from Ojha that took the outside edge. Most of his strokes were straight out of the textbook, with feet firmly in place and head steady in the line of the ball. He brought up his 44th first-class fifty with a single to cover off Ishant, as he and Robin Bist put up 95 runs in just 107 minutes.
Just when the partnership seemed to have steadied the nerves in the dressing room, another piece of reckless running between the wickets curtailed Kanitkar's progress. He jabbed a delivery to cover, but in an attempt to steal a run failed to beat the underarm throw from Badrinath. He made 73, including ten fours.
Badrinath had earlier dropped Bist off Ojha's bowling at first slip when he had made 43, off the last ball before lunch. Bist went on to make 65, and his full-arched flick off Yadav was easily the shot of the day. But when played for the turn against Ojha, the ball went with the arm to unsettle the stumps.
After his dismissal, the focus shifted to whether Rajasthan could avoid an innings defeat. The plan to have Rashmi Ranjan Parida play spin from one end, and to let Dishant Yagnik negotiate the seamers from the other seemed to work briefly, before a third run-out scuttled the revival. Off the last ball of a Binny over, the pair in their attempt to take a third run failed to beat a strong one-bounce throw from Yadav on the cover fence. After Yagnik left, Parida, who made 31, became Harmeet Singh's first victim when he edged one to Karthik. After that, Harmeet picked up another three more to seal victory.
Aniket Choudhary, reprieved before tea as Harmeet overstepped, fell for the flight just after the interval, with Yadav taking an excellent running catch on the long-on fence. After the second new ball was taken, Yadav took a similar catch off Harmeet's bowling to bring an end to the first fixture of the 2012-13 Indian domestic season.
Brief scores: Rajasthan 253 (Robin Bist 117 not out; Umesh Yadav 5-55) and 275 (Hrishikesh Kanitkar 73, Robin Bist 67; Harmeet Singh 4-45) lost to Rest of India 607/7 decl (M Vijay 266, Ajinkya Rahane 81, Cheteshwar Pujara 78, Dinesh Karthik 56, S Badrinath 55; Madhur Khatri 3-125) by an innings and 79 runs.

IssueHow can we give a hierarchy to elements in a substitution group?
IntroductionNote: please read the variable content container section PRIOR to reading this.
In the variable content container section we saw several methods for implementing variable content containers. One method was to create an abstract element, and then create elements that are substitutable for it. For example:where BookType and MagazineType both derive from PublicationType: The variable content container then is declared to contain the abstract element: Thus, the contents of <Catalogue> can be any element that is in the substitution group with Publication. Here's a sample instance document: Note that an alternative design is to pull out the anonymous complexType to create a named type: Now suppose that we want to declare an element just to hold <Book> elements. Here's what we could do: Alternatively, we can again pull out the anonymous complexType to create a named type: Likewise, if we want to declare an element just to hold <Magazine> element we would have a similar set of declarations: Let's summarize to see what we have.
We have the original type hierarchy:We have a substitution group comprised of three elements: And we have three types which contain the substitution group elements: Note that these "container types" are unrelated, i.e., one does not derive from another.
Adding Relationships between the Container TypesAs we know, there are benefits to creating type hierarchies. Namely, we can declare an element to be of the hierarchy's root type and then the content of the element can be substituted by any derived type (due to the principle of type substitution).
Thus, it would be beneficial if could create a type hierarchy for the above container types. In fact we can:where BookContainer and MagazineContainer derive-by-restriction from PublicationContainer: You may ask, "I thought that when you do derive-by-restriction the restricted type (e.g., BookContainer) must repeat everything in the base type (PublicationContainer). The base type contains an element Publication, whereas the restricted type contains, for example, an element Book. Is this allowed?"
The answer is "yes". Think of a substitution group as a choice. Thus, in PublicationContainer there is a choice of either Publication, Book, or Magazine. In the BookContainer we are simply restricting the choice to just Book. Likewise in MagazineContainer we are simply restricting the choice to just Magazine.
In a real sense, what we have accomplished by embedding the substitution group elements each within their own type and then setting up a hierarchy among the types is: a hierarchy among the substitution group elements:Previously the substitution group elements were flat. That is, there was no hierarchy among them. Now they have a hierarchy.
SummaryLet' recap what we've discussed: First declare the abstract element and its substitution group elements: Next, declare a container type for each element, and have the container type holding the head element be the root of the type hierarchy: Lastly, declare <Catalogue> to be of type PublicationContainer: Here's a sample instance document: PublicationContainer contains an abstract element (Publication), so <Catalogue> must only contain elements that are in the substitution group with Publication, as we have shown here.
Because of the principle of type substitutability we can alternatively substititute the PublicationContainer type with a derived type. For example:
Best PracticeThis approach gives us the advantages of both element substitutability and type substitutability. In our example we saw that the contents of <Catalogue> can be any element in the substitution group with Publication. We saw that we can alternatively restrict the contents of <Catalogue> to a particular substitution group element.

Photographer's Note
dull routine
'Monotonous' is a popular song written by June Carroll and Arthur Siegel for Leonard Sillman's Broadway revue New Faces of 1952. The song was written based on the experiences of its singer Eartha Kitt.
Monotonous Lyrics
Everyone gets into a dull routine
If they dont get a chance to change the scene
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
Ill tell ya what I mean
I met a rather amusing fool
While on my way to Istanbul
He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool
For thirty days, salt air I sniffed
While I was shipwrecked and cast adrift
With a man who looked like Montgomery Clift
For what its worth, throughout the earth
Im known as femme fatale
But when the yawn comes up like thunder, brother
Take back your Taj Mahal
Jack Fath made a new style for me
I even made Johnny Ray smile for me
A camel once walked a mile for me
Monotonous, monotonous
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
Traffic has been known to stop for me
Prices even rise and drop for me
Harry S.Truman plays bop for me
Monotonous, monotone-eous
T.S. Elliott writes books for me
King Farouks on tenterhooks for me
Sherman Billingsley even cooks for me
Monotonous, monotonous
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
Though I know Ive acres of dough
Im not sure of the amount
It might be exciting some day if I learned to count
Chian Kai-Shek sends me pots of tea
Gaylord Hauser sends me vitamin D
And, furthermore, Ike likes me
Monotonous, monotonous

Ciao Georgios,
bella scena di quest'uomo solitario che attraversa la piccola piazzetta, bella scelta del momento e risultato molto emozionante. Complimenti.
Un caro saluto

Hello Georgios,
The man across the square with a look of resignation to what seems to be your daily routine, just walking and immersed in thought. I like the simplicity of the composition and what it conveys.
Best regards,

Γιώργο γεια σου,
πράγματι τα Χειμωνιάτικα χρώματα είναι πιό ανιαρά που αν συνδιαστούν και την μοναξιά τότε τα πράγματα δυσκολεύουν εξαιρετικά.Μου αρέσει η τοποθέτηση του μοναχικού άνδρα μεταξύ των δύο ψηλών δένδρων με τους στοίχους της Eartha Kitt, να συμπληρώνουν το σκηνικό.
Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hello Georgios,
A nice daily life shot where you are showing this man taking a daily walk perhaps? I like the gloomy atmosphere here with the fallen leaves here and there. Nice facades of buildings which seem to be empty as the day hasn't started. Nice soft colors.
ChrisJ (126807) 2012-02-29 9:22
Hi Georgios,
I like how youve framed the walking man with the two trees. Good sharpness color & mood captured here. Excellent graphism & diffused lighting. I like the subtle reflections in the wet pavement & the fallen Autumn leaves. Tfs!

Hello Georgios,
Wet, dark and alone, this gentleman and his routine, it is a sign of hardship. But dont we all feel this way one time or another? We all have a bright side at the same time we all possess a dark side. I have a feeling that I am seeing myself walking alone one dark morning. However we all know that one day the sun will rise and put a light of hope on our lives. As the four seasons come and go, in our lives also comes a moment when we feel as though there is absolutely no end in sight. What do we do? We keep walking and walking until the moment we hope to encounter arrives to us. Like this gentleman, he keeps walking until his routine will turn into a routine full of hope.
With my very best regards,
Thank you for your visit today, Georgios
Have very meaningful days ahead,
jlbrthnn (76039) 2012-02-29 12:24
Hello Georgios,
Beyond a certain age, when you are retired, inactive, and not wealthy, life is bleak indeed, as a fatalistic expectation. This is a beautiful picture a little sad, emotional. The quality is excellent. Bravo.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. - Michael Del Zotto is on the brink of earning a place in Rangers history this weekend.
Del Zotto, a poised, crafty young defenseman with a scoring touch, will become the first 19-year-old blueliner to debut for the Rangers since Brian Leetch on Feb. 29, 1988, who played his first game three days before his 20th birthday.
He also will become the youngest defenseman to play for the Rangers since 18-year-old Dave Maloney laced up his skates on Dec. 18, 1974.
After training camp, a prospects tournament and preseason schedule in which Del Zotto excelled, coach John Tortorella said yesterday: "He's going to start here with us. Right now, he has made the club, it has nothing to do with minors or juniors. We're not looking at age . . . His strength is obviously offense, but he's shown he's really willing to compete away from the puck and in his end zone. It's the responsibility of the coaches to teach him that part of the game - situational play - and not screw around with his offense and his creativity. We need to step out of the way there."
The Rangers open the season Friday in Pittsburgh and host the Ottawa Senators Saturday. Del Zotto's parents, Steve and Lee, his brother David and three buddies from home in Stouffville, Ontario, will be there.
"They really want to see [Sidney] Crosby," Del Zotto said of his pals after practice yesterday. "My parents are proud that I'm still here so far."
Perhaps they shouldn't be surprised. After all, Del Zotto - No. 20 overall in the 2008 draft - is the type of player the Rangers need, especially to quarterback the power play. Tortorella has said he likes Del Zotto's "arrogance" and willingness to "take a chance and make a play."
With the London Knights junior team last season, where he and John Tavares, the No. 1 pick by the Islanders, were teammates after a trade with the Oshawa Generals, Del Zotto was 6-24-30 in 28 games and 3-16-19 in 14 playoff games.
The Rangers do have the option of returning Del Zotto to juniors if he plays fewer than 10 NHL games, but the teenager who is fond of the style of players such as Anaheim's Scott Niedermayer and Washington's Mike Green has earned a shot to stick.
"I've never really been a guy to be nervous," said Del Zotto, who won't turn 20 until June 24. "I just try to take it a day at a time and play aggressive. I'm still learning just how much work you have to put in every day to be a pro and to learn the system the coaches have put in."

I cannot praise Chappie enough. My 11 year labradorX has been at deaths door, with a severe case of pancreatitis (was on a drip at the vets for 4 days), and also collitis. He got well enough to come home, and we were given prescription food from the vets which was costing £22 a week! This is a buget which we could not afford in the longterm, so after speaking to a doggy friend of mine, and googling pancreatitis I put him on dry chappie and "hey presto" straight away his poos are back to normal hard ones! He had been suffering from collitis for about 4 months with really bad diahorrea! He has not had any more set backs and is now doing great. He is maining his weight and is full of energy. I would strongly recommend this to anyone with a dog with stomach problems

Oklahomans call southeastern Oklahoma's rumpled terrain the "Little Smokies." Not so lofty as the Great Smoky Mountains, these rugged green mountains boast an abundance of tall timber, splashing streams, and crystal-clear lakes.
Oklahoma's Little Smokies is a drive both for outdoor lovers who simply want to savor the views and for those more active travelers eager to tackle a hiking trail, paddle a canoe, or test their skill at fly-fishing. Swimming beaches at several lakes provide an inviting break from touring.
For much of the way, the north-to-south route traverses sprawling 1.8-million-acre Ouachita National Forest, which drapes across the Ouachita Mountains on the border of Oklahoma and Arkansas. Deer and black bear are abundant--this part of Oklahoma claims to be the "deer capital of the world." Ouachita is the French version of an American Indian word that means "good hunting grounds." Colorful wildflowers carpet the meadows along the road. The fall foliage is renowned as some of the finest.
A part of the forest, called the Winding Stair Mountain National Recreation Area, has been designated primarily for outdoor fun. Trails range in difficulty from the rigorous--for example, the 192-mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail, which intersects this drive--to the comfortably easy. Almost anyone can manage a trio of short, gentle nature trails at the Robert S. Kerr Memorial Arboretum.
Unless you are a resident of the Sooner State, signs that declare this corner of the state Kiamichi Country may puzzle you. The official Oklahoma Travel Guide also uses the phrase. Kiamichi, tourism officials explain, is a French word for a "water bird." French explorers, fur trappers, and traders were early visitors here.
The drive begins among the farmlands and orchards of Spiro, where a dozen ancient mounds display evidence of the people who lived here from A.D. 850 to 1450. And it ends in the state's far southeast corner at Idabel, the state's "dogwood capital" and home to the Museum of the Red River. The museum houses what is considered some of the finest art and artifacts from the earliest residents here.

Prince William may have been OK with gifting his firstborn with a simple teddy bear named Charles Stephens, but the fashion world is ready to completely spoil the Prince of Cambridge.
In fact, WWD had some of the world's top fashion designers sketch the best royal baby gift ideas their creative minds could think of. Naturally, the dream presents were luxe, to say the least.
For the newborn's wardrobe, Cynthia Vincent kept things simple with a blue and white elbow patch sweater, while Alice + Olivia sketched an adorable pair of printed trousers—that even came with tiny suspenders and a lion-face button!
On the opposite end of the style spectrum, DSquared2 drew a Mohawk-clad baby wearing a rocker tee that reads: "God Save Granny."
Courtesy: Trina Turk
Designer Trina Turk created an entire mini clothing collection, which must have been designed prior to the birth yesterday because she also included items for a baby girl. Perhaps, those onesies might come in handy if the new heir ever gets a little sister.
Nicole Miller
Itty-bitty duds weren't the only gifts thought up for the future king of England. Rebecca Taylor sketched a classic rocking horse (top photo) while Nicole Miller drew a colorful Union Jacket blanket.
Not a bad haul for a baby who is less than 48 hours old.

The crawl utility starts a depth-first traversal of the web at the
specified URLs. It stores all JPEG images that match the configured
constraints. Crawl is fairly fast and allows for graceful termination.
After terminating crawl, it is possible to restart it at exactly
the same spot where it was terminated. Crawl keeps a persistent
database that allows multiple crawls without revisiting sites.
The main reason for writing crawl was the lack of simple open source
web crawlers. Crawl is only a few thousand lines of code and fairly
easy to debug and customize.
Some of the main features:
- Saves encountered JPEG images
- Image selection based on regular expressions and size contrainsts
- Resume previous crawl after graceful termination
- Persistent database of visited URLs
- Very small and efficient code
- Supports robots.txt

A group of low-income people and advocates will stage a "never-ending emergency room waiting line" outside of the Hennepin County Medical Center on Wednesday, to protest the elimination of General Assistance Medical Care.
St. Stephen's Human Services organized the protest to demand reinstatement of funding for GAMC, a program that currently provides health insurance coverage for about 33,000 adults who cannot access other assistance. Gov. Tim Pawlenty used unallotment to cut the program's funding earlier this year. The Department of Human Services estimates that GAMC will run out of funds by March 1.
Low-income advocates also hope the protest will call attention to flaws in the plan to switch GAMC enrollees to Minnesota Care. Current GAMC enrollees will be automatically switched to the state plan on March 1. After that date, people seeking to apply for GAMC will need to apply for Minnesota Care instead.
"I think a lot of people who aren't actively working on the issue think the problem's been solved," said Cathy Heying, advocacy coordinator for St. Stephen's Human Services.
The two plans have several key differences.
Minnesota Care has an annual $10,000 limit on inpatient hospital care, with a 10 percent co-payment. GAMC has no inpatient hospital care limit and no co-payments for inpatient stays.
Unlike GAMC, Minnesota Care also has a monthly premium, calculated on a sliding scale based on income, starting at $4 a month. Enrollees will be given a several month grace period, but will then need to make payments to keep their coverage.
Heying says she expects many people will lose coverage because of unpaid premiums.
"Many of the folks that we work with are transient because of being precariously housed or homeless," she said. "So, if they miss the paperwork that could seriously jeopardize their coverage."
Minnesota Care has a $3 co-payment for both generic and name brand medications. Under GAMC, enrollees pay $1 for generic medications and $3 for name brand medications. GAMC caps co-payments at $7 a month to keep costs down for people taking several medications. The plan also waives co-payments for several psychiatric medications.
Although the differences in premium expenses and co-payments might seem minimal, advocates say the costs could add up quickly for low-income adults.
Many GAMC enrollees are unemployed and survive on $203 in monthly welfare assistance. Under current GAMC coverage, a person who took 3 name brand medications and 2 generic medications would pay $7 a month.
If the same person enrolled in Minnesota Care, the medications would cost $15. The $4 monthly premium would bring costs to $19, or 9 percent of a single adult welfare recipient's total income.
"There's a reason they're not on Minnesota Care to begin with," said Liz Kuoppala, executive director of the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless. "It's because they don't have the money to pay for these premiums. It's just not a program designed to help this group of people."
The protest has not been officially endorsed by HCMC, but a spokesperson said the hospital does not object to the event and has worked with organizers to plan the "waiting line" route.
"We're working really hard to make it clear that it's not a protest against HCMC," Heying said.
The event will be held on the sidewalk outside the hospital's emergency room from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m on Wednesday.

Trying a sheng after being prompted by a fellow steepster to do so. This is a nice almost fruity tasting tea with an almost citrusy apple or pear note to it . Very little astringency almost as enjoyable as a dry glass of wine. Sheng is kind of "new" to me as I usually prefer shou, but I think I am going to grow to like sheng a little more after this. I think if I stick with sheng 5 years old or more I will grow to appreciate them more. A very nice evening tea.

James Madison/Bill of Rights
Ch 8, 227

It was the bruising Boxing Day encounter at Fratton Park that convinced the 30-year-old Alexandre Gaydamak that he wanted to buy half of Portsmouth Football Club. It was a typically hard-fought 1-1 draw, with Harry Redknapp's 10-man team clinging on after Laurent Robert's red card six minutes from the end.
But the 30-year-old son of the Russian billionaire businessman Arkady Gaydamak - who had previously been considering buying a stake in Aston Villa - had fallen in love with Pompey's supporters, according to the Israeli football agent Pini Zahavi, who played a key role in striking the deal.
Gaydamak senior, 53, who has revolutionised the fortunes of Israel's football through his takeover of Beitar Jerusalem, was insisting yesterday it was all down to his son. "It was Sacha's decision," he told the newspaper Ha'aretz. "I was not involved. I heard about it on the radio. Sacha is a big boy. He is 30 years old and he does as he pleases. He doesn't involve me in his decisions - he has his own life and his own business. It was his decision alone."
He said that Alexandre, one of three children, had lived in England for a long time, working in banking and real estate. "Sacha left France when he was 18. Since then he's led an independent life ... he's successful."
By comparison with his father, relatively little is known about Alexandre, a French national, although he plans to hold a press conference in the next few days. Arkady Gaydamak is the subject of an international arrest warrant in France, and strenuously denied money laundering allegations in Israel, while his son has an unblemished business reputation.
That will be good news for Portsmouth, who will have been reading the small print of the FA Premier League's handbook, which details the "fit and proper person" rules, designed to prevent those involved in illegal activity, including theft, fraud and corruption, from involvement in football. Any new director has to sign the director's declaration, which then requires ratification from Mike Foster, the league's general secretary.
Richard Caborn, the sports minister, is also likely to monitor developments at Portsmouth, although he would not comment on Gaydamak's reported £15m deal.
"There are concerns about the money coming into the English game from outside the country,"he said yesterday. Last month he instigated a European-wide inquiry to monitor foreign investment in clubs. "There are concerns the source of this money should be transparent and properly regulated and that's why this inquiry is taking place," he said.
Though he was virtually unknown in Israel until six months ago, Arkady Gaydamak's ownership of Beitar Jerusalem shot him to prominence and on New Year's Eve he hosted a party in Jaffa for 1,500 members of the country's sporting, media and entertainment elite, a gathering that put him at the heart of the Israeli establishment.
He is a permanent resident of Israel, where he has a house in Caesaria, a seaside town between Haifa and Tel Aviv, but he also spends time in Moscow and holds French, Israeli and Canadian nationalities.
Arkady Gaydamak's international arrest warrant was issued by Paris police in 2000. He is being sought by the investigating magistrate Philippe Courroye, probing the illicit sale, allegedly with tacit French government approval, of Russian arms worth some £450m to the Angolan government in the 1990s. The eldest son of the late President François Mitterrand, Jean-François, was recently given a suspended prison sentence in relation to the scandal.
In his early years in France he worked as a gardener and odd-job man before setting up a translation agency. Three intelligence agencies compiled reports on him, offering vastly differing conclusions.The DST said he had "succeeded in profiting remarkably from the opportunities offered by the collapse of the USSR". Maariv business paper reported last year he was Israel's second richest man.
Shaul Adar, a London-based Israeli journalist, said: "At Beitar he seeks the adoration from the fans on the pitch - he is always dressed in the same pin-striped suit and yellow scarf. He toured Jerusalem in an open car with the mayor when he bought the club and went to the local market to shake the hands of diehard fans. His ego is way too big for Israeli football. He craves respectability. He once said Beitar cost him $1m ( but was worth much more for him in terms of publicity."
His arrival turned Israeli football upside down, raising Beitar's budget from $5m (£3m) to $30m (£17m). Eitan Markovitz, sports editor of Ha'aretz, said: "His involvement has attracted other foreign buyers who are spending more money here. Lev Leviev, another Russian businessman, has just bought Hapoel Tel Aviv."
Many believe it is inconceivable that Gaydamak did not influence his son's decision to get involved with Portsmouth, but yesterday his spokesman insisted: "He is mad about football and gave his son the love of the game."

K-9 unit followed training
A sheriff's dog that bit a teenage victim during a residential shooting incident Oct. 24 in Hudson was apparently just following his training.
The dog, a German shepherd named Ace, arrived with his handler at 1321 St. Croix St., when Hudson police called for assistance.
"The K-9 unit, which is usually on patrol in the afternoons, showed up and helped establish a perimeter around the house," said Sheriff Dennis Hillstead.
Police were called to the residence at 5:43 p.m. answering a 911 call that the homeowner, Daniel Christenson, 43, was shooting inside and four other persons were in the house. At 6:12 p.m., Christenson's son, Zach, 19, and three friends escaped the residence through a basement window.
"The K-9 deputy heard shots and glass breaking and saw four people running from the house," Hillstead said. "The deputy ordered them to stop and get down. Three of them did and one kept on running, so the dog was ordered to apprehend him."
The sheriff said it was dark at the time and officers didn't know the situation, one of the individuals leaving the house could have been the shooter.
"A 15-year-old boy was brought down by the dog and suffered a cut on his arm that required stitches," the sheriff said. "It's my understanding that he later suffered from a blood clot and had additional surgery at Regions Hospital in St. Paul."
The teenager was later identified as Nate Livermore. He told officers he heard the command to get down but wanted to get as far away as soon as possible. "I can understand that," said Hillstead.
At 12.43 p.m. a standoff between police and Christensen ended when Christensen came out through the front door, pointed a handgun at officers and was shot, the police report said.
"It is an unfortunate incident," said Hillstead referring both to the wounded homeowner and the teenager who suffered a dog bite.
The sheriff said that the idea of setting up a perimeter in a situation like this is so nobody that isn't known to the officers is allowed to go in or out. "It would have been a worse situation if the gunman had been allowed to escape," he said.
"The dog doesn't know who the good guys and bad guys are. He does what he is trained to do," Hillstead said.

[1]Though the broad market hasn't managed to get there yet, tobacco stocks are at all-time highs right now. Maybe investors are scooping up the most defensive names they can because they're worried about a bearish storm popping up … or perhaps investors are simply worried about a complete economic meltdown. Or, maybe cigarette makers are just darn good companies right now.
Whatever the case, one thing is certain — as is the case with any industry, not all of these companies are equally attractive opportunities. Here's a run-down of the weakest to strongest names in tobacco out there at the moment.
[3]Though the bottom line has been getting reliably bigger, falling short of estimated earnings in two of the last three quarters doesn't make Lorillard (NYSE:LO[4]) a high-odds bet for its upcoming earnings announcement. The pros are looking for a profit of $2.32 per share, compared to $2.05 for the same quarter a year earlier. Not only is that 13% profit improvement a tall order, it's made even taller in that it would be a record per-share profit. It feels like a recipe for disappointment.
Worse, net margins have been getting steadily smaller since 2007 … not a sign of bad luck or a poor economic environment, but just a sign of the times for tobacco companies.
Side note: If the e-cigarette ever does catch on, Lorillard's fortune could change. The recent acquisition of the Blu Cigs company makes Lorillard the frontrunner of that race. Blu Cigs only did $30 million in sales last year, but that number is getting bigger, fast.
[5]While the 5.1% yield is tops for the group, Reynolds American (NYSE:RAI[6]) also seems to be dealing with more than its fair share of cigarette-related headaches.
For starters, the 9th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court has decided the case against Reynolds American subsidiary R.J. Reynolds can resume. Ten individuals jointly sued RJR's Camel brand for failing to redeem 'Camel Cash' beginning in 2006. The case had been thrown out, but it's being brought back into the legal system. Though redeeming the Camel Cash is likely a minor liability, fighting the case can be expensive, and the publicity black-eye can do even more damage.
Additionally, though it's true of all cigarette makers, the declining number of smokers appears to be taking a bigger-than-average toll on Reynolds American. The company has already started to shed 10% of its workforce due to the decrease in smoking. That's rarely a good sign.
[7]Beating earnings estimates for a couple of quarters in a row is impressive. Beating estimates six quarters in a row is attention-getting. Beating estimates in eleven of the last thirteen quarters is downright investment-worthy. That's what makes Philip Morris (NYSE:PM[8]) so compelling right now.
Revenues have been steadily increasing for over a year, and not by chump-change increments. The top line grew by a whopping 26% in Q3 of last year, and though that was the best quarter of 2011, all of them were on par with that kind of improvement.
Simply put, Philip Morris International is a perennial winner. Though traders will have to pay something of a premium for shares — 18.0 times trailing income — that 3.4% yield and reliable growth makes it worth it.
If bigger is better, than Altria Group (NYSE:MO[9]) is the best banana in the bunch. Its $72 billion market cap is three times as big as the next-nearest competition, and its market share of cigarette smokers correlates with the company's size.
Perhaps more impressive is the consistency with which Altria grows its bottom line. In every year from 2009 through 2011, every quarter's per-share profit was higher than the year-ago comparable. And, had the company not spun off Kraft (NASDAQ:KFT[10]) in 2007, that growth streak would go back for years. It's amazing, just because the stumbling blocks that other cigarette makers have been dogged by (like smokers giving up the habit and expensive lawsuits judgments) just don't seem to be an issue for Altria Group.
In other words, numbers don't lie — Altria is doing it better than the rest. And, that forward-looking P/E of 15.1 means investors don't have to pay a premium to get in on the action.
At the time of this writing, Jame Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Republicans in congress bought and paid for by Big Pharma and the other nefarious elements of the health care industry are going to kill any attempts at reform.
The same kind of organization at the grass roots level that put Obama in office is marshaled to force congress to do the right thing. This won't be easy.
Stand with Obama: Support a Public Health Insurance Option
On Wednesday, President Obama reaffirmed his support for a public health insurance option–the key piece of health care reform that will provide coverage for all Americans and help bring costs down.
But as the fight for real reform heats up, right-wing lobbyists and conservatives in Congress are working hard to kill the public health insurance option.
We need to show Congress just how many Americans support Obama on health care reform. Can you sign the petition to stand with Obama?
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your Senators and Representative.


text: As we usher the last decade into the realm of memory, it's time to stop viewing immigration reform as an Us vs. Them issue. The metaphors and language we use are key to framing a debate because they can communicate broader truths via association. For example, a scientist might mention the porous nature of all membranes and boundaries found in nature to describe the ineffectiveness of the militarized U.S.-Mexico border.

If you're thinking of getting a new PC, it might be worth hanging on - there are a few new technologies just around the corner.
In the next month or so, expect Intel to launch three new chip sets with more new technology goodies than any self-respecting geek could hope to find under their Star Trek ornament-laden Christmas tree. New system bus, new memory, new hard drive technology, new wireless options, new sound - it really is the works.
Advanced Micro Devices fans, fret not. That company's partners are planning new chip sets too, with many (but not all) of the same technologies. Intel loyalists, however, will get first dibs.
Get on the bus
Intel's three new chip sets - the high-end 925X Express (formerly code-named Alderwood) and the midrange 915G and 915P Express chip sets (formerly Grantsdale) - will support the PCI Express system bus instead of standard PCI.
Today's venerable PCI standard allows data to travel at up to 133MBps in one direction only - stuff headed the other way has to wait its turn. A standard PCI Express bus (called an X1) will offer transfers of up to 250MBps in each direction, for a total of 500MBps. This should help speed up basic PC operations - and it'll vastly improve gigabit networking, which runs into serious bottlenecks on the PCI bus.
Another area that's always in need of more bandwidth is graphics. Years ago, to support the evolution of powerful new graphics cards, the PC industry abandoned the PCI bus and created the Accelerated Graphics Port. PCI Express brings graphics back into the fold, and offers 4GBps concurrent transfers to and from PCI Express-based graphics cards. For comparison, today's 8x AGP bus offers 2GBps of shared bandwidth. Intel's 925X Express and 915P Express chip sets will offer a PCI Express graphics port, but no AGP, the 915G Express will include Intel's new integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 900.
While it's unlikely the first-generation of PCI Express-based graphics cards will take full advantage of that additional throughput, it should eventually lead to even better, more responsive PC graphics. All that throughput will make it easier for software and hardware to handle multiple video streams, which is important to technologies like personal video recording.
Further supplementing the speed improvements from PCI Express is Intel's move to DDR2 memory support with these chip sets. DDR2 is an evolution of today's double data rate memory - designed to offer faster speeds with lower power consumption. Today's typical motherboards support DDR running at 400Mhz. Faster speeds exist, but they're not ratified by the memory standards body. Intel's first chip sets will support DDR2 running at 533MHz.
Faster neo, faster
With this launch, Intel brings RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology to the masses. The technology, which essentially lets a PC use two hard disks as one, has long been a favourite of savvy users.
Concerned that non-techies will associate the name with killing bugs, Intel executives renamed their version "Matrix Storage Technology" (which carries a less negative connotation only if you skipped the second two movies in the Matrix trilogy). The technology itself is better than its moniker. It offers easy access to RAID through a non-intimidating interface. The technology supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 0 interleaves data between two drives to create a double-size drive with about twice the effective throughput; RAID 1 writes all data to two drives at once, ensuring the information survives if one drive fails.
Better still, the Matrix technology includes built-in support for Serial ATA's new Native Command Queuing. This technology effectively makes NCQ-ready hard drives work smarter by reordering commands into a more efficient sequence on the fly. The drive ends up spinning less to access the same amount of information, which should speed performance.
Integrated audio gets a much-needed boost this time out with Intel's High Definition Audio technology (formerly code-named Azalea). With integrated 192-KHz, 24-bit, 8-channel audio, and support for all the major audio formats, such as Dolby Digital and DTS, Intel is clearly gunning for audio card makers like Creative. The new sound technology lets you send different audio streams to different devices at the same time; and it offers jack retasking, which means the system will change the jack to work with the device you plug in. So, for example, if you plug a microphone into a jack that was being used for headphones, the system figures out that change and alters the jack to make the microphone work.
Finally, Intel is adding to the mix a new technology it calls Wireless Connect, which will add the hardware you need to turn your desktop into a wireless access point. Intel says it has created a four-step setup that will make it painless to set up a secure 802.11b/g network in just a few minutes. While this eliminates the need to buy a wireless access point, it does mean you'll have to leave your PC running to maintain the network.
A few drawbacks
Beyond the potential performance gains, there are a few other things to consider before you buy your first PC or motherboard based on these new chip sets. Specifically, you won't be able to bring much along from your current system.
Probably the most notable item here is your graphics card. If you just spent a lot of money on an AGP card with ATI or NVidia's latest and greatest graphic chip, then I don't suggest rushing to build a new PCI Express-based unit. Your spiffy new card won't make the trip to the new platform. Intel's new chip sets support only PCI Express graphics. The same goes for your DDR memory, which won't work in the new DDR2 slots. In addition, you can expect to pay more for DDR2 memory than DDR. Even Intel admits you'll pay a premium for DDR2, at least for a while.
And what about that big old Serial ATA drive you love? While it will work in the new Matrix setup, you won't be able to take advantage of NCQ. To use NCQ, you'll need a drive with that technology already on board - a firmware upgrade won't work.
There are a lot of decent components that won't make it into your new system. However, an upgrade may just be a good excuse to turn your current PC into a streaming media server - or something equally exciting.

Ken e Hall
...Music Poetry And Dance... - Poem by Ken e Hall
In the mind music is poetry in motion
From the heart poetry is feelings still,
In the legs dancers flow devotion
From the arts bodies' pleasure doth fill,
Music poetry and dance
Begins its journey straight from the heart,
Born from love not by chance.
Gods hand with love made the start
He put the fingers on Mozart's Hands,
The voice in Pavarotti's throat
The magic shoes worn by Fred Astaire,
He spread the talent in every land
Are we so lucky Gods in the chair
To use his tool,
To put the arts in every school
So evey child has the chance to show their flair.
