Re: JokesA young man on acid walked into a dentist's office and said,
" Can you help me? I think I'm a moth." The dentist said, "You don't need a dentist. You need a psychiatrist." "Yes, I know," the man said. The dentist asked, "So then why did you come in here?" The man replied, "The light was on."
Re: JokesA couple, both aged 78 went to a sex therapist's office. The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?"
The man said, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?" The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, the doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse," and charged them $50. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave. Finally the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?" The old man said, "We're not trying to find out anything. She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90. The Hilton charges $108. We do it here for $50, and I get $43 back from health insurance."

Resort At Singer Island Sold, Rebranded
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Real Estate Developments
Way back in 2006 I wrote about the plans for The Resort at Singer Island, a Starwood Hotels project. Now the Florida resort will no longer be a Starwood property. The Resort at Singer Island was sold to Urgo Hotels recently for $7.1 million. A presss release states that condos in this oceanfront tower were sold 78 percent under opening day prices in a bulk sale. The operator of the 239-suite hotel was changed from Starwood to Marriott. The new name is now officially the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort and Spa. The hotel is on six acres of beachfront with 300-foot frontage on the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach County.
WCI Communities, the owner of the property and a luxury homebuilder based in Bonita Springs, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection over a year ago. It announced on September 3, 2009 that it emerged from Chapter 11 as a newly reorganized, private company, eliminating more than $2 billion in debt and liabilities. It spent $210 million to build the oceanfront Resort at Singer Island, a project that comprises 66 condo residences, 239 hotel/condos, a restaurant and a spa. Urgo Hotels paid $4 million for four three-bedroom residence condos, $2.1 million for 14 hotel/condos and $1 million for the hotel operating agreement, the spa, the restaurant and the common areas.

Rade Veljovic is one of the most interesting forwards in Romania. He's quite physical and technical but lacks pace a bit. He's a specialist in spectacular actions and quite combative. The biggest problem I have with him is the fact that he doesn't really attack the box enough for a striker. He falls back to collect balls but rarely arrives in the box at the right time. He seems like a player who feels the most comfortable everywhere except for the opposition's box. Nonetheless he's a player with real potential.

Les Deux Alpes in France
by helen on Nov.06, 2012, under Uncategorized
Les Deux Alpes ("deux" meaning 2 in French) is the second oldest ski resorts in france after the world famous Chamonix. Perched high up at 1650 m in the marvelous Dauphine region on the southern alpine slopes, the resort spreads on the top of the magnificent Veneon Valley. It has two faces – enchanting and unique nature and a myriad of winter resort opportunities, but fusing smoothly into the refreshing mix you need for optimal holiday! Les Deux Alpes area includes 200 km of runs on both sides of the valley, and Europe's largest skiable glacier. The 76 runs suit all abilities with more than 50% variety of medium terrain for intermediates to practice and improve. Fast-learners will very soon be able to enjoy the stunning challenges of the advanced and expert pistes as well as the vast off-piste opportunities. And there is a lot of challenge indeed – here is one of the most exciting off-piste runs of Europe, the Vallons de la Meije, with the impressive vertical descent at over 2 150 m! As a whole the resort offers high-altitude skiing for the bravest – its highest point reaches 3 559m. The runs are connected by a modern lift system composed by 63 lifts to assure best access to any site of interest. If you still need to change the skiing scenery, take a short trip to La Grave, down along the valley, to try some more of the world finest skiing opportunities.
At the altitude of between 1650 and 3559 m you should not worry about solid snow cover from November to May. As there are two seasons only, summer can be enjoyed by beginners practicing on the glacier and the snow park will welcome eager boarders for various amusements! In fact Les Deux Alpes never gets deserted – plenty of activities in winter and summer skiing from June to September, the lovely French town attracts visitors all over the year.
Off the runs Les Deux Alpes will still assure a lot of fun – tobogganing, motoski, ice-climbing, skating, sleigh-riding and snowshoeing among them. The village maintains an out-door swimming pool and two sport-centers to keep you in good shape and fresh mood. You could try some aerobics, steam-bath or play bowling or squash with friends. But afterwards don't forget to take your camera and go sightseeing in Venosc end of the village – the old medieval part with stone churches and old-time buildings for a romantic history experience! If your children find it boring, there is better to do for them – let them enjoy the Club Petits Montagnards of the resort or some of the other facilities specially meant for little ones' comfort. Les Deux Alpes has a lot more to surprise you with, including very comfortable and affordable apartments in les deux alps. What about seeing a play or listening to a delightful piano concert at the Maison De Le Montagne or going to the local cinema, or visiting the two historical museums?
Nights are equally fun at Les Deux Alpes, though a bit calmer than in other alpine resorts. Clubs and discos could entertain you till dawn, but still you may prefer the adventure of a torch-lit descent guided by the local ski school instructors. Culinary experts should try the traditional and international recipes of the local chefs in some of the many excellent restaurants and bistros.
Access to this charming spot high up in the Southern Alps is best assured from Grenoble (at 70 km) and Lyon (at 160 km). Unforgettable sceneries in authentic French atmosphere with sport and fun abundance! Keep your tourist spirit in perfect shape by visiting Les Deux Alpes.

This hourglass-shaped knee spacer is made of pressure sensitive memory foam and it moves with you when you roll over to keep your legs parallel.

I read other review, may be true for bigger people. But for a thin person who's knees are boney, like myself, this pillow is heaven. I am a side sleeper and I can put this between my thighs, it is so comfy, and then as I trun from sdie to side all night, I can keep it there as I flip over - which I could not do with a bigger pillow like a body pillow. My husband has long lean legs and we fight over it. My knees and hips in the mornign feel so much better. LOVE this thing. So soft and easy to position.

Item is very small and difficult to keep positioned appropriately between your legs, especially if you move around alot at night. Can be uncomfortable if not positioned correctly, restricting leg circulation and causing pressure areas. Not recommended for larger individuals, patients with vascular problems, or elderly with thin skin.

5 A Sweet Mini!!
I made a sweet mini album from the Large Pennant Banners pack by Clear Scraps featuring Imaginisce's new Berrylicious Collection and i-rock tool.
I used 4 of the pennants from the Large Pennant Banners pack, saving the other 3 pennants in the pack for another project. After peeling the protective film from each side of each pennant, I swiped the edges of the pennants with Clear Embossing ink by Clearsnap. I then sprinkled white embossing powder on the inked edges.
I used a heat gun to heat set the embossing powder and in the process, the acrylic softened and was pliable white warm. I gently "ruffled" the edges of the acylic to make for "wavy" pennants. The embossing powder itself gives the acrylic pennants a bit of texture but the ruffles create even more visual interest and texture.
After the pennants had cooled, I cut several pieces of chipboard to 5" x 6" and covered them with paper. I added a narrow strip of coordinating paper to the acrylic pennants, punching a scalloped border on one edge of the paper. I then punched holes in the chipboard pages and threaded a ribbon through to bind the book. The trick to binding a book with ribbon is to leave a little slack in the ribbon to allow for the pages to turn and lay flat side-by-side.
I decorated the pages with coordinating Berrylicious Collection stickers and diecuts. I used a heavy duty stapler to attach some of the elements to the chipboard and acrylic pages alike. Staples are so fun!
I used the i-rock tool by Imaginisce to add bling to the cover of the book and to some of the stickers in the Berrylicious Collection. The i-rock works realyl quickly - I love that it is battery powered and only heats up when you press the button and hold it down. Great if you have little kids!
After all of the pages were decorated, I sprayed the entire album with Smooch Spritz ink. This ink dries on the acrylic in about 10 minutes and is a great way to "antique" pages and help bring all the colors and elements together.
This cute little book was then ready for photos! Wallet photos work great for this kind of book because they fit well in the space. I used photos from a recent trip to the California Poppy Reserve - the colors are perfect for this fresh spring paper.
Next time you see a banner kit, I hope you'll take a little side step to think "book" like I did when I created this mini ;) Also, I hope this inspires you to try using heat to experiment with texture on your acrylic projects.
Happy Creating!

Designing your own web page isn't easy — especially if you're not a professional graphic designer. But there are some basic principles that you can use to create a better designed page if you can't afford to pay for a professional to design your site.
- Text alignment: Something that makes amateur pages stand out is the text. There needs to be a logical flow so that eye of a visitor is attracted to what is most important, what's second most important, and so on. This means that if you use columns, they're used effectively and not randomly. If people visit your site and don't know where to look, they'll likely leave the site immediately.
- Use of white space: Technically it might not be "white," but basically don't fill the page with words. Dense words turn readers off and will also cause them to likely leave rather than having to sift through it all to find what they want.
- Fonts: Many amateurs use too many fonts on their home page. At most, you'll have three, but most well-designed pages have two: one for headings and subheadings and one for body text. You might also have a stylized font for your company logo, but that's separate and doesn't really count.
- Colors: It's important to choose colors that don't hurt the eye of the visitor (i.e. nothing too bright or garish), but at the same time you want something interesting. Most importantly, make sure the font color is easily readable.

High Noon at the Likud Corral
Warrior: The Autobiography of Ariel Sharon
Sharon: An Israeli Caesar
After the massacre of hundreds of women and children in Sabra and Shatilla in 1982 during the Lebanon War, a commission of inquiry in Israel found that Ariel Sharon, as defense minister, had "indirect responsibility" for the massacre. The massacre was carried out by Maronite Christian units, but the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps were under Israeli control and Israel had responsibility for them. The commission demanded that Sharon be dismissed from the post of defense minister. A friend of Sharon's said at that time: "Those who didn't want him as Chief of Staff got him as a defense minister; those who don't want him as defense minister will get him as prime minister."
This was not a promise but a threat, and it still hovers over public life in Israel, a sword of Damocles. Damocles, it will be remembered, was invited by the tyrant Dionysus to a sumptuous banquet at which he found himself eating and drinking under a naked sword hung on a thin thread. To give a sumptuous banquet and hang a naked sword from the ceiling over his enemy would not be out of character for Ariel Sharon.
In February Sharon resigned his position in the cabinet as minister of industry and trade. For months he and his allies had been accusing Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of being too "soft" on the intifada and even willing to deal indirectly with the PLO; and following the dissolution of the coalition government in March, he continues to challenge Shamir for the leadership of the governing Likud party. Sharon is a man who knows only two states of mind, fighting and preparing for fighting. In his battle with Shamir he has been making alliances on Shamir's political right, including the members of the small parties, such as the Tehya, that implicitly favor expulsion of Palestinians from the occupied territories; and pressure from these allies of Sharon's was one of the main reasons for Shamir's refusal to deal with the PLO and with his subsequent defeat in the Knesset.
If the current efforts of Shimon Peres to form a government should fail and Sharon were to become prime minister, he would first have to win the support of centrist political opinion, which is willing to tolerate implicit recognition of the PLO. "I am Arik de Gaulle and only I can bring about peace with the Palestinians," he likes to suggest. Meanwhile he is trying to put across to American public opinion, and especially the organized Jewish community there, a message that can be summarized as follows: "I, Sharon, am not the bully that you think I am. I am a sensitive warrior who is fighting hard and strong for God's little acre of Jews in their land, against the Arab scoundrels trying to kill them."
Sharon claims that he is not, as he is often said to be, a master of improvisation, but a careful planner for the future who pays a great deal of attention to details. Indeed, Sharon is a man with a longstanding scheme, and the publication of his autobiography can be seen as part of his grand design to become prime minister of Israel. The book, which was written with the assistance of David Chanoff, may serve Sharon's purposes. It tells a continuously interesting story of Sharon's rise to power, and in this respect it is very different from the expensive, illustrated editions that Israeli leaders publish in English and that are bought mostly as bar-mitzvah presents. But an honest bookseller would have difficulty deciding whether he should list Sharon's autobiography as fiction or nonfiction. Questions about truthfulness arise not primarily from what is in the book, but rather from what is not. Sharon: An Israeli Caesar by Uzi Benziman contains at least some of the missing material.
Sharon, who is now sixty-one years old, has held important positions in Israeli politics and military affairs for four decades. During the 1950s, when he was in his twenties, he became a commander of the Israeli army's paratroopers. In this position he not only carried out raids on Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, but also had much to do with their planning, and with deciding when and how they would take place. He successfully advocated increasing the frequency and intensity of such raids, which led to the Sinai War of 1956. During the 1960s, when Sharon was in his thirties, he was chief of staff of the Northern Command, and had considerable influence on the decision to increase the violence of Israeli attacks against Syria; these attacks were among the principal causes of the Six Day War of 1967. During his forties Sharon had a leading part in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and in setting up the rightist bloc—headed by Menachem Begin—that took over the government from the Labor party in 1977. At the end of the 1970s, as the government minister with responsibility for settlements, he expanded the Jewish settlement of the occupied territories. During the 1980s, when he was in his fifties, Sharon planned and brought about the Lebanon War while defense minister in the Begin government.
Though relatively young compared to other Israeli politicians, Sharon has thus had a central place in Israel's recent history. To understand Sharon's past is to understand something important about the state of Israel; and to understand his future, the future of the state of Israel as well. The differences between the Hebrew and English titles of the books under review convey something of the mythology that surrounds him. In Hebrew Sharon's book is called Halohem, which should be translated as "the fighter." But Warrior, the English title chosen, sounds more patrician, more Roman, like something from Plutarch.
The English title of Uzi Benziman's book, Sharon: An Israeli Caesar, refers to Julius Caesar, who crossed the Rubicon and destroyed the Roman republic, suggesting that Sharon threatens to destroy democracy in Israel. The Hebrew title of Benziman's book, He Does not Stop at Red (Lo Otzer Ba-Adam), is taken from a protest song against Sharon that was popular during the Lebanon War. There is an obvious difference between someone who does not stop at a red traffic light and a leader who crosses the Rubicon, but, as it turns out, Benziman, in many respects a responsible and careful critic of Sharon, also subscribes to the heroic myth prevailing in Israel that Sharon is the best general in the world and one of the best in Israel.
A single motif recurs throughout Sharon's military and political life: "always escalate." He believes that in the muddle resulting from an increase in violence he will always come out the winner. He will know how to create a situation in which people turn to him because he is self-confident and he knows what he wants. This constant desire to raise the level of violence springs partly from Sharon's strategic sense, and partly from his character.
Sharon was born in 1928 in Kfar Malal, a village ten miles north of Tel Aviv. His parents came from Russia. His father was an agronomist named Scheinerman, and his mother had studied medicine but did not finish her education. His father was a stubborn, quarrel-some man, and apparently highly intelligent. The family had strained or hostile relations with their neighbors in the village. When Arik was hurt by a fall and blood was flowing from a deep gash in his chin, his mother did not take him to the clinic in the village, but, in order to avoid contact with the other villagers, she ran with him through two miles of fields to a clinic in a neighboring community. One must distrust or hate others very much, or be greatly hated, or both, to act in such a way. In any case, Sharon seems early to have acquired a tendency to maintain deep suspicion and vindictiveness toward the people around him for a long time. Benziman's book tells us that as a little boy Sharon walked around with a stick in order to hit the other children in the village.
Kfar Malal was a cooperative village, each of whose families had originally a plot of land of equal size. Sharon's family was the only one in the village that marked off its property with fences and protected it with dogs. From time to time the family took over more land, and the Scheinerman family plot soon became the biggest in the village. Benziman's account of the ways the Scheinermans enlarged and secured their plot of land made me think of studies of animal territoriality, as when a lion marks off his territory with urine. It seems that this sense of territoriality was very strongly imprinted on Sharon's character.
Sharon's account of his childhood is the most interesting part of his autobiography, and one suspects it was written with two audiences in mind. For the American reader the description of Sharon's family evokes a frontier settlement in the Wild West—the rugged individualism of the Scheinermans against the other settlers, and especially against the Indians, that is, the Arabs. Sharon never makes it clear that the village he grew up in was a collective settlement based on ideals of mutual assistance and solidarity.
For the Israeli reader Sharon's account is based on the Zionist myth, according to which, once upon a time, everything was chaos, the land was swamp, and there was darkness on the face of the waters. Then the pioneers, the "men of Genesis," arrived from Russia and established civilization—the kibbutz and the moshav. These pioneers apparently never did anything trivial in their lives—their every action was exemplary and "larger than life." Sharon is a son of the gods in this Zionist myth, he was born from the salt of the earth, and he has spent much of his life fighting for the basic elements of life: water, land, and security.
During the War of Independence (1948) Sharon was a company commander in what was for the Israelis the most disastrous battle of the war—the battle of Latrun. Latrun was a police fortress that had been built by the British on the road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. It was manned by well-trained regular soldiers of the Jordanian Legion, and in their attack on the fortress the Israelis did everything wrong. They started out late on a scorching hot summer day, carrying insufficient water, and were soon discovered. Hundreds of Israeli fighters were killed, among them Holocaust survivors who had been taken to the battle straight from the boats that had brought them to Israel from Europe. Sharon himself was wounded. He claims that the cries of the wounded who had been abandoned in this battle left a deep impression upon him, and because of them he insists on never abandoning his wounded men in the field.
In 1952 Sharon left the army and began to take courses in Middle Eastern studies at the Hebrew University, but he was often called back into the army to carry out retaliatory raids against villages in the neighboring Arab countries suspected of providing shelter to Palestinian attackers. To make these raids more effective, the army decided to form a special commando unit, and Sharon was asked to lead it. Called Unit 101, the group was in fact a collection of about forty wild, daring fighters, whose main purpose was to carry out raids across the border. After five months this unit was combined with a battalion of paratroopers, and Sharon became the commander of the battalion (about 300 fighters) and later of a brigade of paratroopers (about 1,200).

Austria Travel Guide
A "blast from the past" is how one recent visitor described her journey through Austria. It remains, she explained, a place where children laugh at marionette shows in the parks, couples linger for hours over pastries at gilt-ceiling cafés, and Lipizzan stallions dance to Mozart minuets—in other words, Austria is a country that has not forgotten the elegance of a time gone by.

10/27/2010: Sudan: USCIRF Sends Letter to Secretary Clinton Regarding Abyei |
October 25, 2010
We understand that earlier this month Special Envoy Gration led negotiations between the two parties to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) to resolve the impasse over formation of the Abyei Referendum Commission. Unfortunately, those differences remain. Until members of the Commission are appointed, preparations for the vote cannot begin. Of particular importance is defining who is a resident of the Abyei area and therefore allowed to vote. The United States must ensure that the parties continue to abide by and advance these provisions in Abyei Protocol in the CPA. There are currently several worrying signs as to future peace in the area, including reports of recent incursions by Northern forces into the area. Given the volatility of the area, and the strong possibility that violence in Abyei could spread and impact North-South peace, the United States must increase its diplomatic activities to address this potential conflict. We welcomed the appointment of Ambassador Lyman to the Sudan Programs Office to focus solely on the referendum and post-2011 negotiations. In that same vein, USCIRF urges the immediate dispatch of a senior diplomat to Sudan to work with the SPLM and NCP to establish an Abyei Referendum Commission, resolve the dispute over Abyei residency and eligibility of voters, and ensure that preparations for the poll immediately follow. We cannot stress the importance, Madam Secretary, of reinforcing the proper and originally intended meaning of the Abyei provisions of the CPA. As you may recall, it was the United States, through Special Envoy for Peace in Sudan John Danforth, who laid down the original terms, and, with a very firm hand, succeeded in getting North and South to agree. The North is now trying to change the meaning of those terms, and it is incumbent upon the United States to re-assert what the Abyei provisions of the CPA require. Having someone undertake this particular task who both North and South will respect--Senator Danforth or former Secretary Colin Powell, for example--will be important. And, based on our recent meeting with Government of Southern Sudan President Salva Kiir in Juba, we believe this approach could lead to progress. Given the history of conflict in Abyei, including violence in May 2008 which left more than 50,000 displaced, the probability of more violence, should there be failure to resolve the Abyei referendum, is incredibly high. Time is running short; the situation therefore demands increased, sustained, and high-level U.S. attention. In closing, I thought it might be helpful to pass along two other observations from our recent trip to Juba. We heard from several sources that Abyei residents are increasingly suspicious of and dissatisfied with the peacekeeping force, which consists predominantly of Muslims from Egypt. Rightly or wrongly, the perception is that these forces tend to ignore violence perpetrated by the Misseriya. If there were some way of balancing out the composition of the force, this might help to alleviate some of the tensions in Abyei.
Our second observation pertains to the post-2011 negotiations. For the first time, we heard President Kiir and Vice President Machar express serious concerns about the fate of the displaced Southern Christians living in camps outside Khartoum in the event of secession by the South. The United States should make the safety, well-being, and self-determination of these displaced persons an important part of our post-referendum discussions with the North.
USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan U.S. federal government commission. USCIRF Commissioners are appointed by the President and the leadership of both political parties in the Senate and the House of Representatives. USCIRF's principal responsibilities are to review the facts and circumstances of violations of religious freedom internationally and to make policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State and Congress.

0 review'Arrrh-a-arrrh-a-arrrhhhh! This is Go Ape, the multi-award winning Tree Top forest adventure. Head to one of the 28 UK forest adventures for two to three hours in the trees, taking on Zip Wires, Tarzan Swings, Rope Ladders and a variety of High-Wire Crossings, all set in the UK's most beautiful woodlands. At Go Ape you'll be kitted out with harnesses, pulleys and Karabiners, provided with a detailed safety brief with training and then let loose into the forest canopy to roam FREE. Life is so much more fun when you're jumping off a tree top platform into a cargo net. Before you head up onto the course, you'll be given a half-hour safety briefing by one of the qualified instructors. Here, you'll learn and try out the obstacles at low levels, and get to grips with the equipment. It's not complicated, but it's important stuff and it will give you the confidence to enjoy your time in the trees. After your training they won't supervise you. You'll be responsible for yourself but of course, instructors are always on hand, regularly patrolling the forests (not in monkey suits unfortunately!)

Alexi Romanoff
CSW Special Community Award
From Rebel To Ruler: Alexei Romanoff. His gait has regained its younger stride since the accident that almost cost Avatar President Alexei Romanoff his leg. His longevity is remarkable, a life in leather begun long before Stonewall. Born 1936 in the Ukraine, his family fled when the Nazis invaded. Making their way through Japanese-occupied Manchuria to America, he has joined the circus, the Marine Corps., been a "beat" generation artisan, and a gay bar co-owner whose accidental heroism contributed to today's Pride celebrations. LAPD raids on his bar, New Faces, led to the first ever protest of a bar raid in the country. Battler against the Briggs Initiative, BDSM and sexual educator, Alexei personifies the past as a living voice of history.

Perry was appointed by President Clinton as a delegate to official White House Conferences on Hate Crimes, and yet another on AIDS.

Robin Tyler & Diane Olson
Special Community Award

Before that momentous act, Robin's reach extended back to the '70's, where she became the first openly lesbian or gay comic in any entertainment venue. Producing the Main Stage events for the '79, '87, and '93 Marches on Washington, Robin has intertwined women's music, queer comedy, and internet activism along with her performance career. Robin Tyler and Diane Olson's inspirational talent lead the LGBT community by example.

Her unique personality augments the greater Pride movement in the way she is able to generate trust, develop confidence and motivate esteem in the youth of our community.
Masen Davis
Berman/Schafer Award
Transgender activism is at the forefront of social and political struggles today. Masen Davis, Executive Director of The Transgender Law Center, co-founder of the FTM Alliance of Los Angeles, puts the "T" in LGBT advocacy for an historically marginalized segment of our community. Transgendered health care, immigration, employment, leadership development, local and national governance boards, nothing escapes the purview of this intelligent and talented activist.
The Berman/Schaffer Award recognizes an individual or organization with a notably positive impression whose vision for the LGBT community inspires self-esteem and builds strategic partnerships. Named for Steve Berman and Ralph Shaffer, who were both active in the Los Angeles Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Community Services Center in the 1970's.
Helen Goss
George Moscone Award
The actions of a single individual charged with regulating media can either liberate or suppress large segments of the population. Helen Goss is a liberator, a media gatekeeper in charge of the City of West Hollywood's Public Information/Cable Television systems. During her 20 years of service to the City, Helen has become a lawyer and a teacher as well. Her diverse talents serve the greater representation of our community and she exhibits strength through example and equality through action.

Worthie Meachum aka "MOMMA"
Harvey Milk Award
Divine. Hilarious. Empowering. Worthie Meachum has been entertaining audiences with his beloved character, "MOMMA", providing a voice for those who need it most. Momma has helped with almost every AIDS service organization in Southern California, other youth service groups such as the Trevor Project, Gay and Lesbian Adolescent Social Services, Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network and many breast cancer charities; this support has helped efforts to raise over nine million dollars! An established performer and host, Momma has appeared in the opera 'il Pagliacci' for Franco Zeferelli at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and at the Kennedy Center and is a crowd-favorite hosting headliners on the LA PRIDE Festival Main Stage Pavilion.

NVIDIA nForce 680i Motherboards Do Not Support Quad Core Yorkfield You may've heard the rumors too, but I waited on purpose before posting this one. It's now confirmed by NVIDIA what's up with 680i motherboards supporting the new quad core Yorkfield processors: All NVIDIA nForce 680i motherboard owners should have in mind that their current mainboard won't support Yorkfield, probably not even if a new BIOS is released. Hardware modification is needed, which most likely means you have to buy a new motherboard. Source: [H]ard|OCP
thats real shitty. who's gonna get a new chip and board at the same time when just the chip is $300+?
That is pretty shitty, I mean a good 680i mb will still set you back a couple of hundred. They are still the top of the range nvidia chipset. And yet they won't support the new cpu's.... I reckon they should offer a replacement for everyone, that is BS. At least there will a whole heap of 680i boards on the bay cheap as...
That is a difference between AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. But I'm sure the level of performance will not stop enthusiasts. After all, both i680 and YF is for enthusiasts with a deep pocket.
I guess that's another thing to make the 780i chips stand out, since it's mostly a 680i. Too bad it doesn't support it, but it's not that surprising..... considering how many chips the 6x0i series supports, it's almost about time that one wasn't supported. That being said, this means that in the coming months we could see more 680i based boards which DO actually support quad core yorkfield, which could be a cheap high-performance alternative when released.
Intel has nothing to do with that, or you want a free technical support to ship with your Yorkfield, and replace the circuit on your mobo.
i say the board makers should reimburse you/discount off "Improved" 680i motherboard for 25% since they f!@#$% up big time
How did they f!@#$% up? How long ago was 680i released, and how long ago was Yorkfield's specs and details announced? I suppose you expected them to just know ahead of time, how to accommodate the new chip. It's not like they have a crystal ball or anything.
its pretty obvious that you just cannot trust the intel platform for a guaranteed future decent length upgrade path, its just a shame that Nvidia is seemingly following that trend.
Well, it's all about the power regulation circuts, as Intel changes its VRM specs with every new CPU and it's impossible to predict this. It has nothing to do with DDR3, as this will come with the 790i chipset.
TBH, I will be surprised if the 965/975 will support Yorkfields @ 45nm effectively but thats my guess.....not fact so dont quote me. There are loads of occasions though where motherboards dont fully support newer tech that is released like 2 years after the motherboard so this does not surprise me really, I am sure we could all think of examples of that.
Hasn't ASUS already said their 680i boards WILL support Yorkfield? My guess is this only applies to the reference boards, which are shit anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
Well poop. Oh well, I'm happy with my Q6600 for the time being anyway. And like others have said, the current 45nm quads are for enthusiasts with enthusiast pockets, so a new motherboard shouldn't be a big stretch for them.

I'm surprised no one mentioned N'sync. Is it because they're not highly hated or because nobody here likes them?
In any case, I'm a fan.
I also like Lindsay Lohan's Over. It's quite catchy
"What is meant to be will always be."
I like Wings (Paul McCartney's post-Beatles 1970s band). They get no respect, but they were a good band.
