E6600 Overclocking Terror!?

hello, i would like to tell you whats going on here and pray for the answer ive been looking for. first of all thank you for the help everyone.



i have a E6600 and i have OCed it @2.85GHz so far. The means my FSB is at 316mhz. whenever i push further, the system hangs and i have to reduce the overclock. i put my vcore to 50mv and still no luck so i tried 100mv. that is around 1.45v i think but still no luck. i put it back to 50mv and tried increasing fsb voltage to 1.3 and 1.4v but still no luck. i even increased memory Voltage to around from 1.8v to 1.86v. i changed another MB setting to higher voltage too but still it hung. the only option left is to put my memory running at 667mhz and see if that does anything and it might not lol.



my motherboard, as reccomended by 9 people on the overcling forum (this site) is a ASUS P5KPL-AM and the CPU as you know is a E6600. Full load speeds right now are 52 degrees with a synche mini ninja cooler.



here is the rig below. i called it the Crysis E66-4800. cool name lol!!

Ultra fast lite on combo cd dvd rw pata drive



MHEL Ultimate Gaming case modded with blue led light and 5 case fans lol



thank you so much for the help. i realy hope someone knows how to get that fsb even 5mhz higher!!!!!! lol.E6600 Overclocking Terror!?
Overclockers or PC enthusiasts who attempt to increase their system's performance by raising bus speeds and increasing their CPU speed beyond the figures at which it was sold and designed to run. Also quite frequently need to raise the voltage of these deviced, since they are pushing them harder, which also generates more heat. Overclocking no longer makes the performance difference it use to. It will also void your CPU warrenty, could cause complete system failure requiring component replacement, and can cause random system instability. for that reason, many of the frequency and voltage settings offered in this part of the BIOS should be left alone or set to Auto.But if you want to adjust them click on the Advanced tab on the BIOS screen.Be sure set the CPU external frequency (MHZ) in accordance with the specifications of your processor. CPU frequency multiple setting :Auto CPU frequency multiple:be sure to set in accordance with the specifications of your processor.Asus should have called this the CPU multiplier.System Performance :Optimal. CPU Interface : Optimal. Memory frequency:by SPD, most memory-chip manufacturers include a Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Chip, wich reports to the Computer's BIOS. The Size, Data,Width, Speed and voltage of the installed memory.These settings are determined by the manufacturer to ensure maximum performance and reliability,Sp SPD is considered a safe, recomended setting.By adjusting these settings yourself you may be able to squeeze more performance out of your system. But if your not careful you might cause your system to crash, not boot properly or not boot at all. Memory Timings:Optimal , FSB spread spectrum:Disabled.this feature helps systems pass European electromagnetic interferance (EMI) test it accomplishes this by constantly varying,ever so slightly, the frequency of the front side bus (FSB) Be warned that enabling this feature with large values can result in internet connection disruption as well as stability problems if you overclock your system. AGP Spread Spectrum:Disabled the discription above applies here as well,except that this is for modulating the frequency of the Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) interface.CPU VCore setting: Auto. Be sure to set this in accordance with the core voltage requirments of your processor. Graphics Aperture Size: 64 MB or 128 MB this feature controls the size of the Graphics Address RelocationTable(GART) and the amount of memory address space used for AGP memory addresses.Regardless of how much on-board memory a system's video card has, A setting of 64MB or 128MB is recomended. This will allow the video card to remain optimized in the event an application requires more texture storage, while simultaniously limiting the GART to a reasonable size.AGP frequency :AUTO . System BIOS Cacheable:Disabled you might be under the impression that all catch is good but thats not true. This feature can cause problems such as system crashes if a program tries to write to the BIOS area being catched. This is a great feature to enable if your still using DOS.Video RAM Catchable:Disabled this allows video ram to be copied directly to your L2 cache wich is considerably faster to access than ROM.However Windows is much more advanced the DOS . Windows rearely uses this ROM because the L2 cache is quite limited in size, it is recomended you let Windows use the L2 cache for enhancing the efficiency of othe tasks. DDR Referance Voltage:2.6 v this setting controls the voltage of the double-data rate (DDR) memory in your system.AGP VDDQ Voltage: 1.5. VDDQ is an enginering term meaning voltage between drain and common for Data Quad Band. In English this refers to how much voltage should be supplied to the Video Card. AGP 8X Support: enable this if the system video card supports 8X AGP speeds. You must install the VIA 4- in-1 drivers to take advantage of this feature on VIA-Based Motherboards. AGP Fast Write Capability:Enabled is recomended this feature when enabled, allows the AGP device,increasing performance by as much as 10 % However some games and PCI cards may experiance problems with this setting enabled. It is recomended that you experimant with this setting to determin what works best for your PC. Good luck i hope this information will help to resolve your problems.

Again 2002 Chevy Venture LT : /?

Well I have changed the thermostat, flushed the radiator, replaced the intake gaskets with a complete kit; upper and lower which was a very costly repair. Still the temp gauge will go about 3/4 of the way up. This usually happens if the van is idiling, or up hill at slow speeds I can get the gauge to go down rather fast by running my heater.. other than that it stays well below the 1/2 mark. Again I have done some reasearch here and I am praying that it is not a head gasket :( BUT at the same time, with a little reading it seems common that the fans wont kick on till the temp gauge gets pretty high . I just got the thing, havent even had it for 2 months yet and under 100,000 miles and I have already put $1000 worth of repairs on it. GM did a great job on the gas mileage, car like ride and room in this thing but the coolant system is unreal. Sooo any ideas as to how I can check these fans to make sure they are kicking on? After 3250.00 purchuse plus 1000.00 in repairs moneys starting to run a little dry : /Again 2002 Chevy Venture LT : /?
it's real easy to check. start the vehicle open the hood and watch the fan, if it comes on than it is working, one thing i don't understand though, is the vehicle overheating? It doesn't sound like it is, when the temp goes up, what is the temp range? does it match your thermostat? if you have a 200 degree thermostat than that is when it should open3/4 of the way up doesn't tell me anything, if 3/4 the way up is around190-210 degrees it sounds like it is running normal. If you have 2 fans they should come on when the temp meets the thermostat temp rating.Again 2002 Chevy Venture LT : /?
coolin g fans won't come on till the engine reaches 212-223 degrees, depending on the programming in ecm. if it's not overheating or losing coolant than there's no problemAgain 2002 Chevy Venture LT : /?
cooling fans only kick on under 35 mph make sure they are kicking on and off right if they are not check fan relay to check head gasket take belt off open radiator cap start engine look for air bubbles in coolant don't run long like this or other damage will happen

And as long as it has the option for 4 internal hardddrives and atleast 2 cd drives then it is all good)





    Thanks, you do not have to make suggestions on all. Take a good look and tell me what you think this system will run in terms of current games like COD 4 or 5, Crysis, and any others that you can think of and also how what areas I could reduce costs)Make my PC build better?
    Ok, let's start with your CPU. By FAR a better value for your money is the Phenom II x3 720 BE. A terrific compromise between quad and dual core, and because it's a Black Edition, you can quite easily overclock it just by turning up the clock speed in your BIOS when you want to squeeze more performance out of your CPU.



    And on the subject of Penom II, you may as well make a DDR3 system. Value DDR3 kits are low enough in price to be worth going with the newer technology which is supported by AM3 sockets.



    CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



    Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



    And since you'll be needing some DDR3 Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



    I've chosen the PNY simply because of the price and the DDR3 speed. In the grand scheme of things, memory is memory is memory, and your money is better spent elsewhere, if at all.



    Now, you've picked a HD4850 card, but you have a 1080p monitor (or TV, doesn't matter), so from personal experience, you'll be sacrificing a LOT of graphics quality. My 1080p tv needs more than a 4850 to run everything smoothly (COD4 being an exception, but just barely). That means that as newer graphics engines come out you're going to need to upgrade too soon. I HIGHLY recommend at least a 4870 with 512 MB of onboard RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



    Though Powercolor is not the best manufacturer for quality, I understand your need to keep your prices down, so this is about as good a value as you're going to get in a GPU that can fill your 1080p screen.



    Your assumption about quality based on storage capacity of an HDD is quite confusing. I would emphatically encourage you to consider the 640GB Blue from WD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



    It's a 2-platter design and has some of the best seek times, energy efficiency, temperature and acoustic rages of any value-oriented HDD on the market and it's a great price for it too. I also appreciate that you have extra storage via Firewire, so this change is not essential, but the $/GB ratio is much better on the drive I've chosen for you.



    Case and Optical drive I won't even bother with. You get the case you like, too personal a choice to recommend something. Optical largely makes very little difference. Choose between Lightscribe or not and you're set.



    Hope you find this helpful.

    Nascar Nation? What do you think?

    Jayski.com is reporting that Speed is going to reformat the %26quot;Trading Paint%26quot; show that starred John Roberts and Kyle Petty into a trivia style game show for fans still hosted by Roberts and Petty. So here's my question.....Do you think %26quot;Old Fart%26quot; and I (the two trivia buffs on this forum) would stand a chance? How 'bout it O.F. you up for a one on one no holds barred trivia contest between you and I? LOL!

    Seriously what do you think about them changing the Trading Paint show which I really enjoyed into a game show of all things????Nascar Nation? What do you think?
    I wouldn't mind having them have some kind of trivia segment. Like a viewer call-in segment, or something like that. But it would suck for them to scrap the whole show format, in favor of a game show.



    You would think that they would be afraid of losing ratings by alienating their fan base. But then again, there is certainly no lack of places to get your mundane, everyday NASCAR news. So maybe they are trying this to feed of the NASCAR fame, but go with something new and original. I still don't see it being to big of a hit.Nascar Nation? What do you think?
    I never really watched trading paint, but if it became a trivia contest I would for sure watch it. I live for game shows/ trivia shows!! And I think you could definately hold your own up there!Nascar Nation? What do you think?
    I enjoy %26quot;Trading Paint%26quot; and hearing the thoughts of Kyle Petty. I really liked it when %26quot;Trading Paint%26quot; had 2 members of the media on and asked their opinion of different subjects.



    I don't know if I would watch a trivia show. I enjoy trivia and seeing if I remember the answers or not.Nascar Nation? What do you think?
    I don't I think I would win because I know everything there is to know about Nascar and I would stomp you in the ground.

    For you question on dual or quad, get Quad. I bought a computer about a year ago and got dual core because I thought quad wouldn't be needed for a few years. Well, I need to get a quad because my processor can't keep up, even with some browser games.



    Make sure you get at least 2.8ghz+ for CPU speed. A lot of games right now are needing 2.4-2.6 minimum. Might as well be a bit ahead of the game.How is this PC build, make it better if you can?
    Wow ugh it will run 8 windows of crysis 15 windows of cod 4 %26amp; 5 and you could be on 8 windows of internet at one time.



    By the way nice case

    Why is twilight so popular?

    The Twilight series, written by Stephenie Meyer, has become a smash hit all over the world, selling 25 million copies worldwide and 20 million in the United States alone. Twilight, the first book in the series, has been named a New York Times bestseller and Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the Year. Quite a shame, considering the substandard quality of these novels. In asking fans what precisely they loved about these books for the purpose of trying to discover exactly how such novels have become fabulously popular, it seems to boil down to three reasons: One, Twilight is entertaining simply for a fun read, with a rather unique plot line. Two, the fluffy love story appeals to the inner romantic in many, many girls and women. Three, Edward Cullen. Twilight in a nutshell: Isabella(Bella) Swan moves to Forks, Washington and meets the Cullens, the impossibly beautiful vegetarian(meaning they only suck the blood of animals) vampire family. Edward Cullen, the only single vampire out of the lot of them, can read everybody's mind but Bella's, and thinks Bella's blood smells utterly scrumptious. They fall hopelessly in love. While playing baseball with his family, vampires who eat humans come and see Bella, making them want to eat her. James, the enemy vampire, lures Bella to a dance studio, but is thwarted by the Cullens. Happy endings ensue. While this certainly is an extremely abridged version of the plot of Twilight, not much else happens, really. When looking at the raw ingredients for the plotline, Twilight seems somewhat promising. The interpretation of vampires is unique and potentially appealing. Admittedly, Ms. Meyer's decision to make the reason that vampires cannot go out in the sun the fact that their skin sparkles in sunlight seems rather questionable, but the idea of making them the perfect predators by using their physical beauty to lure their prey in, then their superhuman speed and strength to kill is an interesting concept. However, the idea is squandered in Twilight, and in its place, a shallow, illogical romance is written in. The section of the book where the enemy vampires come to Forks, incidentally, the only section where there seems to be an actual plot, gives the impression of being hastily tacked on to the end of the novel on the realization that one can't properly end a book with just a groundless love story. The romance in Twilight is not only very, very cheesy, but also incredibly shallow. Edward and Bella fall in love based solely on Edward's looks and Bella's smell. It seems that half the book is dedicated to describing how stunningly attractive Edward is, with Bella marveling at his smooth, hard skin, his perfect muscles, his Adonis-like body, his more-glorious-than-an-angel's face, his beautiful crooked smile, his captivating eyes, his velvety voice, his disconcerting movements, and of course, his mouth-watering breath. All of this, of course, is made even more spectacular when he sparkles like a diamond. Okay. Maybe half the book is an exaggeration, but hearing again and again about how perfectly god-like Edward Cullen gets extremely tiresome. Stephenie Meyer makes full use of her thesaurus for Edward, using every possibly adjective to accentuate his gorgeousness. Twilight manages to make Edward so beautiful that Bella actually is in anguish about it. Direct quote from the text: %26quot;He was too perfect, I realized with a piercing stab of despair. There was no way this godlike creature could be meant for me.%26quot; Of course, if Bella is pained by Edward's magnificence, there is no shortage of fangirls willing to take her place. However, other than his glorious beauty, there doesn't seem to be any truly desirable trait in Edward Cullen. In all honesty, his only distinguishing personality trait is his abrupt and often violent mood swings, clocking in at an astounding 37 inexplicable changes of attitude throughout the novel(Note, this does not take into consideration any of switches that were deemed explainable, regardless of whether or not they were a completely unnecessary overreaction. Otherwise, the count would be at something around 60 or 70.). Even Bella, utterly infatuated as she is, notices this, asking him if he has a multiple personality disorder. In addition to this, Edward seems rather stalkeresque. After seeing Bella for three days(not accounting for the approximate week where he went to Alaska in order to not smell her dangerously appetizing scent), Edward breaks into Bella's house and watches her sleep for months. Amazingly, Bella, rather than be creeped out and take a restraining order on him, is flattered by his spying, and only gets upset when she realizes he heard her talking in her sleep about him. He is also excessively controlling. When James decides to hunt for Bella, Edward throws her into his car, orders his brother Emmett to restrain her by strapping her to the seat and grabbing her wrists, and refuses to listen to anything she has to say until forced to by hiWhy is twilight so popular?
    Ok first of all, you REALLY didn't need to describe half the book in you'r question! I got like three fourths of the way to the end, and had to give up! As an answer to your question, Twilight really shouldn't be so popular! It isn't detailed (at all, basically- I haven't read the books, but i've heard this stuff from Twilight fans) and it doesn't have a real point to it. The only real reason people love it, is because a few popular people started to read it, and other kids wanted to be like them, so they read it, and somehow convinced themselves they loved it, too! This is just a guess, but I think it's a pretty good one.Why is twilight so popular?
    And just so you know i have even less of a life, theres 40k + words in the full one, and theres a edward vs edward elric fanfic somewhere in it ^.^

    Wow. I'd explain it to you, but your obvious lack of a brain might not be able to comprehend anything I'm saying. You really shouldn't have wasted your time writing the longest question EVER and throwing away 4 points. I'm pretty sure that you don't actually want to know anyway, since you used up all your space to explain to us how much you hate it.

    Over Clocking My AMD 3800+ X2 CPU?

    CPU-Z States the Following:



    Core Speed: 2000mhz

    Multiplier: x10

    Bus Speed: 200mhz



    Well i have a vague idea on how to Over Clock Things

    and so i did a little bitty test to see if it did anything

    I wasn't expecting any noticeable results more to see if my computer would die from me doing it.



    QUESTION!

    I went into my bios soft menu and i changed my FSB to 220mhs and Left My Multiplier at x10



    So am i now running at 2.2ghz? Am i missing anything?

    What volatages should i be running per level of over clocking. As in @ 2.2ghz 1.4v 2.4ghz 1.45v 2.6ghz 1.5v



    and so on so forth. Not saying thats what the actual voltages would be just showing you how i want you to explain it to me :]



    If you could let me know ASAP That would be great i wana see if i can get up to 2.4ghz maybe...Dont really know how it will go, i have 4 90mm case fans and a stock heatsink that came with the cpu so who knows. I'll keep an eye on my tempsOver Clocking My AMD 3800+ X2 CPU?
    You only need to increase voltage to stabilize your overclock. Increasing Vcore also increases the heat generated by processor. If you do not use memory frequency divider, it is your RAM that will hit instability sooner than your processor.



    Except for the %26quot;X2 Black Edition%26quot;, upper multipliers are LOCKED. You can only adjust processor clock.



    It may help if you read more on overclocking:

    Bill: It is magnificent, indeed. But look, we're just some guys who really love music. Guys who love to perform. Once you're on stage and you see all those fans - it is simply a great feeling. But it's very hard to describe how it makes you feel exactly.



    What is the best gift you've ever received from a fan?



    Bill: Oh, I get lots of stuff. From sweet letters and stuffed animals to girls' panties. Sometimes fans send me demos they recorded themselves. I think that's really cool.



    Who is your biggest icon/example



    Bill: Oh, dear... Well, I am a big fan of David Bowie, of course. And Stereophonics. That's also a band I really like.



    What is your biggest sin?



    Bill: I am a bit of a control freak. That is my most obvious negative trait, but at the same time it's also one of my best traits. It goes both ways.



    When was the last time you got a speeding ticket?



    Bill: Haha, I like this question. But, no, actually I am a good driver. I have never been pulled aside for speeding or anything. Because I'm not someone who races as fast as he can once he reaches the highway, haha.



    What time period would you enjoy lliving in?



    Bill:I would like to fast forward 30 years and look around a bit. To see if there are things like flying cars and aliens already. Also, I wouldn't mind living in the time of pirates.



    What is your favourite domestic chore?



    Bill: I am a very organized and tidy person. However, I am not very fond of chores and cleaning. I don't mind cooking very much, but I wouldn't say I really enjoy that either...



    How much money do you spend on your looks?



    Bill: Hmmm, I don't know the exact amount. What I do know is that our stage outfits are very expensive.



    What are your favourite curse words?



    Bill: I don't really like cursing very much. We sometimes call Georg Hobbit, but that's a pet name more than anything, really.



    What do you feel ashamed of?



    Bill: I don't easily feel embarrassed. But now I feel that on some occasions in the past I have worn very wrong/ugly outfits, haha. But, ah well, those are things you learn from, right?



    What would you do with a million?



    Bill: I would buy lots and lots of presents for my family and friends, spend a part of it for myself and put the rest in my savings account. Something like that..



    What is the worst pick-up line you have ever heard?



    Bill: Hmm, when people walk up to me and act as if they don't know who I am. %26quot;Hey, what's your name?%26quot;, haha. Terrible.



    Do you notice any changes now the economy is in trouble?



    Bill: It's not going so well in the music industry. There are less performances and hardly any releases at the moment...



    Pick one: fastfood or a home cooked meal?



    Bill: I don't really enjoying cooking, right? Augenzwinkern Sometimes I eat fastfood, but then I do choose vegetarian meals. If you're going to MacDonald's that means you can only get a cola or a milkshake...



    What is the object you love most?



    Bill: My microphone! I use it the most and also I'm not much of a gadgetfreak.



    What would you do if you had only one day left to live?



    Bill: I hope I could perform one more time with the band. A really spectacular performance, it'd be. Because, after all, performing is what I like best.

    ahhhhhh....haha..



    Poll: (are u asking what we think Bills are or ours? well it says poll so nvrmnd)

    Band:Tokio Hotel!

    Song:ahhh, I'm so bad at choosing. Either Fairytale by Aleander Rybak or Phantomrider/Pain Of Love by TH, currently.

    Rap or Country: it really depends. Cuz most rap can be so disgusting and too sexual and country can sound so lonely and blahhhh. But i still do love many songs of those genres. I really like Carrie Underwood. I remember watching her on A.I. and I thought she was going to lose cuz everyone kept saying they liked Bo more so I felt sad. But then I was screaming when she won just cuz I thought she was really pretty and wanted her to be my big sister. I was like 10 or 11, i know it's stupid. XD

    Sorry that was off topic.So i choose rap I guess. No country they tell a story. No rap, it's not talking about tractors and beers. AH forget it!Tokio Hotel Family: New interview with Bill :D?
    awww that's the bill i love:) i can just picture everything he's saying hahah he's the best ^_^ though i bet it's hard for him being vegitarian and not getting to eat his beloved hamburgers anymore xD love him:)

    By italian girl

    Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports? Below is my NFL list?

    1. NO MORE 1 POINT KICKING PAT'S. That's a routine 19 yard field goal which are rarely missed, only way it stays is by making it 30 yards, so forget it. The only acceptable PAT is the optional 2 point conversion, and that should be from atleast the 5 yard line. And if the other team picks it off or recovers a fumble it counts even if they return it for a TD. Even if they don't score they get to keep the ball where they return it to and start the next posession without a kickoff. If you choose to not go for 2 you only get 6 points for the TD and then kickoff normaly.



    2. THE GROUND CAN CAUSE A FUMBLE. The rule saying the ground can't cause a fumble wasn't instituted until '89 or '90 so that's gone and it returns to normal. That'll teach these guys to hold onto the ball.



    3. LET THE PLAYER CELEBRATE A LITTLE AFTER A TD, ANY OTHER CELEBRATING DURING THE GAME IS AN AUTOMATIC 5 YARD PENALTY. I'm sick of these guys doing a dance acfter every catch and every tackle. The only reason they're celebrating is they make millions to do it and probably get a $ bonus for big plays. The refs never throw a flag after that crap, then turn around and flag a 10 second celebration after a TD. NO MORE!



    4. UNLESS A PLAYER IS FLAGERANTLY AND INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO HARM ANOTHER PLAYER, NO FLAG. That means you can lead with your helmet, horse collar, hold, hit the quarterback as hard as you want, and anything else they've disallowed that further pussifies the game.

    This is a full contact sport and these guys are huge and often moving at full speed. I don't care how much you try to protect them, someone's gonna get hurt in every game. And even if he does get hurt, sowhat! Occupational hazard! Besides he's a millionaire who can afford the best medical treatment in the world! And if it's carrer ending, sowhat! History has proven that no matter how good you are your expendable cause there will be somebody just as good if not better to take your place. Carrer ending injury, whatever, even if you played one season you're a millionaire, which is more than most of us can say.



    That's all i've got time for now, but the point is if these guys are going to make millions let's make their sport tougher. These professional athletes are just there to entertain real working class folks. They are rewarded way too much money just because they can play a game better than an average person. A lot of these pro athletes never work a real job in their life. They excel at sports in high school and get a scholarship to a college where they continue to play sports and otherwise screw around without really studying or learning anything important. Then the really good ones get drafted and are automatically awarded millions for doing nothing for his new team. Even if this newly drafted guy sucks, he doesn't care cause he signed a contract for millions. We fans are the real idiots here, because we think these guys are heroes. We loose fortunes betting on them, wear their expensive jerseys, spend thousands on tickets to watch them play, and argue endlessly and pointlessly about who's the best. It's all vanity and fodder in the end, I learned that from reading Eclesiates, an Old Testament book in the Bible. All people, we Americans especially need to stop seeking entertainment so often and focus on the real matters of life. AMEN!Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports? Below is my NFL list?
    1. 1 TD %26gt; 2 FG's. I like that.



    2. I like how the ground can't cause a fumble



    3. There's a fine line between taunting and just being excited. I think taunting should penalized, but feel there's nothing wrong with showing genuine emotions of excitement



    4. Most flags occur before the play even starts: False starts, off-sides, delay of game, etc... We can't negate ALL penalties just because a player isn't flagrantly and intentionally trying to harm another player.Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports? Below is my NFL list?
    You sound like your salty bout how much money they make, not how the game is played. The only two rules i would like to see changed is the overtime rule I think both teams should have at least one possesion and i think they should calm down the quarterback rule, its just ridicolousWho else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports? Below is my NFL list?
    Thank god you dont run the sport.Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports? Below is my NFL list?
    You sound like you are upset about the money that NFL players make. They work hard their entire life to make it where they are, I think they deserve it. I would like to have the hitting the quarterback rules changed, because I am a defensive end headed to college and have been penalized for unnecessary roughness on the quarterback multiple times in high school. Your other rule changes would ruin the game though. I think if you make a good play you should be able to celebrate. It's a game, we are taught from the time we are kids to have fun when playing games. Celebrating is a way to have fun on the football field. Excessive celebration penalties are only stopping good players from having fun.

    Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT & Dragon Ball Kai fans...?

    What do you think the sequel to Dragonball: Evolution; Dragonball: Reborn should consist of? They have this as the synopsis: %26quot;With Piccolo joining Goku's side, the Earth becomes endangered by a evil Sayian known as Raditz whose goal is to destroy Goku.%26quot; How would you like to see this movie portrayed and still deal with the facts they changed? i.e. goku was oozaru, picolo's disciple of destruction, which means that he is also over 2k years old and was recently reborn 18 years ago.



    Would you rather they speed through the intro of Raditz and Goku's true past or continue with goku just being oozaru and the saiyans are seperate from him (another entirely different race from himself)? Have picolo and goku kill off raditz rather quickly (first 15 minutes), then bring about Vegeta and Nappa...or just introduce Raditz and Vegeta and leave out Nappa? There are so many ways to cut this...I like the idea of not knowing how they are going to play this out. Who do you think they will get to play Vegeta, Raditz, possibly Nappa, Tien and Krillin? Who do you think would be good for the roles?Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT %26amp; Dragon Ball Kai fans...?
    Im a HUGE, hardcore DB,DBZ %26amp; DBGT fan. (Have't seen kai yet) are you saying theres going to be a another dragon ball live movie?! (the last one was..eh.) If there is another one i hope its reallyyy awesome! :)Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT %26amp; Dragon Ball Kai fans...?

    How has the internet changed the way you live? ?

    This is just a simple question for the people, like me, who have incorporated the Internet into our daily lives/regimes. I only got full, proper, Internet little over 4 years ago, and since I got it, things have changed for me a lot. For example:



    - When I am not with my friends, the phone hardly ever gets used. Why? Instant messaging. It is much quicker and simpler to use an IM client than it is to pick up the phone and spend the next hour talking which will add that little bit more to the phone bill. Plus with IM'ing, you can share music and links to cool websites within seconds, which would take a long time over the phone.



    - I still read newspapers, but all the information I can get in the newspaper I can get online, from multiple sources and with discussion boards to talk about the information with other people. You don't get this in newspapers, although I still read them every day. Sometimes I will see something of interest in the newspaper, and go online and look further into it, which takes only seconds to do with search engines.



    - Video sharing. AKA. YouTube. The majority of the community may be racist, sexist, trolling jerks, but the sheer fact that I can search for a video clip and find it within seconds would appeal to anybody. Not only that, I can store my favorite clips, and get connected with fans of the same stuff in seconds. Why would anybody not want that?



    - E-mail. Simple, effective and once you are used to it, you'll probably never want to use normal mail ever again. If I send my CV to over 10 employers by regular mail, it can take days, even weeks, for them to arrive. Whereas with email, there is an almost 95% guarantee that they will be delivered within seconds after I sent them. E-mail has it faults, don't get me wrong, but the speed my stuff arrives is incredible to any new Internet user.



    - Social networking. If my colleagues are on the same social networking site as me, we can all get connected and share messages and the sort after work has finished. Perfect. I can keep in contact with people on the other side of the globe, or people I know, without paper mail that can take ages to arrive at it's destination.





    Anyway, that's my side of the story. I cant imagine life without the internet right now lol. So, what do you think? No stupid comments or calling me a nerd etc. :DHow has the internet changed the way you live? ?
    yup, you pretty much wrapped things up there, the internet gives you fast access to anywhere and anything, while a newspaper takes time to get to your house.How has the internet changed the way you live? ?
    I agree with all you say, and do all. I am connected, even tied, to my computer like a baby to a pacifier.How has the internet changed the way you live? ?
    I'm not calling you a nerd, i'm calling you smart and goodthinking. And if the comment is stupid I dont know.



    What'I can tell you is that noone born after like 1985 can't image life without internet. I'm from 1993 and I can't too, but I can imagine how it's like to have no internet. But these days internet is crucial. For your work, or to keep contact at far distances. Internet is one of the most important things in the world, right after life (XD).



    I can't say much about it further, but internet changed all of our lives, i can tell you that.How has the internet changed the way you live? ?
    It also enables me to run a small business from home.

    I retired a few years ago and would be bored witless if I couldn't get on the 'net and talk to people.

    A lot of people my age (only 60) seem to have no interest in 'all that technical stuff' and are content to sit around growing old.

    Also made some great friends who I'll probably never meet but have a lot in common with.

    Some of the answers I see posted here also make me realise that not all the young people out there are as stupid as some oldies think they are.

    Check out my site and see if you think I'm a nerd too. :-)

    Sellic fans is Gary Caldwell worth 20k a~week ?

    Bobo stuff this! I give to you Big john hartson at his celtic minded bhest

    HOW much is the SPL title worth to Celtic?



    Their Fhans probably wouldn't be able to sit down and put a price on it, but ,It's around 拢20,000-a-week.

    That's the wages Gary Caldwell is looking for, give or take the odd win bonus. A million quid a year. (stop laughing john is being serious)

    It's a lot of money and more than most people can expect to earn in an entire life-time.

    But in football it's nothing exceptional (%26lt;haha%26lt;) for players who win you trophies. In fact, it's the going rate.

    And Caldwell - last season's Player of the Year (%26amp; everyone`s first choice..haha) - can be the difference between my old club being successful this season or ending up failures.(%26amp; there`s more) I've been there at Celtic. I was one of the club's highest earners during my time at the club when we had other guys like Henrik Larsson and Chris Button on the payroll.

    It's a different financial climate now,(eh is that common knowledge) I know that.

    It's changed days on the wage front. But the bottom line is still the same - if Sheltic want to win big games they need big bhoys.

    It's what the likes of Stephen Mcanus, iden McGready, Shaun Baloney and Scott (the grass)McDonald all earn.

    And Scaldwell comes into that category in my book.(haha)

    Put it this way, there are Premier League clubs in England who would take him and give him the money he wants - and more. (wtf )

    The fact is, at Celtic and in the SPL, he's better quality than anything else around and for me(a sheltic minded paper bhoy getting paid fur hyped~up tictalk like this) Caldwell is well within his rights to ask for the best deal he can possibly get.

    At Ibrox on Sunday Celtic didn't play badly(no and they weren`y to fcukin good niether ..remember) but still finished the (well deserved) losing side.

    Why? ( coz u is pish %26amp; overrate ursels..%26amp; out classed) Because they gave away sloppy goals.(no because your defences were out~classed)

    Kenny Miller deserves all the praise in the world for taking the two chances which came his way. (bet this john wiz spewin typin that)

    Kris Boyd played a tremendous ball through for the first, by the way.

    But the bottom line is that they were gifts. (no ya dafty well executed team play and speed)

    Sephen Mcanus allowed Miller to run off him for the first,(that wid be because he faster stonger player then uh ?? no? ) while the second was nothing short of a comedy of errors. (rather than Rangers playing good fast over the top lobbs again and again)

    What was Glenn Loovens thinking when he allowed the ball to bounce? (Loovens (who was pish aw day)running on the back foot wi Miller steaming towards him @3ft away heading fur goal ...)

    It's hard for me to sit here and say Caldwell wouldn't have made those same errors. (no neither would Pele ffs)

    No one will ever know. (maybe ask at the Pineapple..next time uh) But what I'm absolutely certain about is that Celtic are better with him in the team and not on the bench. ( well there`s celtic mindedness in full flow fur you folk`s, from a so called sport`s journalist)

    Pay him the money, give him the deal and get him back out on the pitch. Stick him in alongside Mcanus and stick with it. (john is rather Sickbhoys agent or he needs a word count fur his column here)

    I'm not one for dishing out advice to managers, least of all men I have nothing but respect for like Tony Mowbray. ( aye he`s made Scottish football history and reached the pinnacle of Football management right enough)

    But my ex-West Brom boss has a decision to make and he needs to make it fast.

    Up until now he's chopped and changed his defensive pairing, taking two from the three bhoys - Caldwell, Mcanus and Loovens.

    As yet none of them have covered themselves in any glory. ( you`ll need skills and talent ti gain glory in fitbaw.. bhoyo)

    Mcanus and Loovens were all over the place at Ibrox, everyone could see that, just like Mcanus and Scaldwell were at times against Rapid Vienna last midweek.

    The constant seems to be Mcanus, but for me he ISN'T the one who should drop out.

    i see a fierce competitor when I look at big Mick.

    No, it's the Dutchman, Loovens, who should be asked to sit on the bench with the other two given a run together to get things back on track.

    They were good enough to win three in a row for Gordon Strachan(and then your fascist supporters group got rid ..good move uh) and they're good enough to get Mowbray his first SPL title. (keep believing your own hype)

    That would bring a solidity to Celtic which could carry them forward because I honestly don't think they did a lot wrong against Rangers at the weekend. (jeez the the bhoyo quick uh...no winning!.. would tell a blind man they didny play well ya thick Dhim)

    They passed the ball reasonably well and created chances.

    Shaun baloney was also denied a stonewall penalty. I see referee Craig Thomson has admitted he got that decision wrong (something no ceSellic fans is Gary Caldwell worth 20k a~week ?

  • Changing a blower motor (and/or resistor?) on a 1999 Chevy Malibu?

    My fan for my Malibu isn't working. I've checked some websites and it seems pretty obvious that its blower motor related. I am also seeing a lot about blower motor resistors. How would I know if my problem is with the blower motor or the resistor?



    My fan is not completely dead... only 98% (haha... =\) it will on occasion kick on at low speeds for a VERY short time until it kind of %26quot;grinds to a halt%26quot;.



    I'm told blower motor is under the glove compartment so I crawled under there and took 3 or 4 screws out of the plastic casing under the glove compartment and the peice still didn't come off.



    To the question... Has anyone ever changed the blower motor on a 1999 Malibu (or similar). Any idea whether my car sounds like it needs new resistor or the motor itself? How do I go around getting this peice of plastic off after it SEEMS like all the screws are out (that I see anyway)... or is there a better way to get to this beast? Thanks!Changing a blower motor (and/or resistor?) on a 1999 Chevy Malibu?
    If you look at the resistor through the glove and see any rust or corrosion on the coils it probably needs to be replaced. I think you have to go through the engine to remove it though. You may need a screwdriver or something to pry it loose. If that doesn't fix your problem, then it may be the blower motor relay contacts are burned or pitted and that needs to be replaced. Both are inexpensive to replace. Check out auto zone.com or a GM forum for more info.Changing a blower motor (and/or resistor?) on a 1999 Chevy Malibu?
    my best advice for you is to go to your local auto parts store and buy a Haynes manual for your car. they can be unbelievably helpfull. try it, for 15 bucks it will pay for itself. good luck.Changing a blower motor (and/or resistor?) on a 1999 Chevy Malibu?
    If the motor is grinding, that would be a good start. They are known for resistors, but they usually work on high speed if that's the problem.

    What do you think about this new policy to ruin youtube?

    here a question i asked earlier on today about the warning to shut down the internet , re-open it and then heavily censor it, monitor and restrict the net.



    :



    i keep getting laughed at about this warming i keep telling people about relating to the nwo and plans to shut down the internet , and reopen it with a restricted monitored internet.







    with the NWO ( new world order ) speeding up its agenda , and recent talk about shutting down the internet , and then opening it back up with '' internet 2 '' a restricted version of the internet , where the government monitors your movements closely , you wont be able to access certain news , or websites or be able to download and have to pay to download anything etc.



    do you think yahoo answers will advance to the stage where you'll have to pay to use it ? pay to ask a question ? pay to log in ?



    where it will be monitored and you will be blocked from asking certain questions ?



    the scary thing is, i can actually see this happening, waking up one day to an announcement from yahoo answers that they've implement these '' new '' policies and rules for the site.



    and to have your bank or debit card available and pin number, or a special key number to pay to ask a question.



    just like the announcement for youtube recently how it shocked and upset alot of people, took people by surprise , blew people out...



    and the even more worrying thing is , i can see people just like sheep '' going right along with things '' saying '' oh its just the sign of the times , '' or '' the way things are now '' . - that's the way alot of people are like these days , brainwashed, dumbed down, sheep..



    i can even see the spreading policy of the blocking things and monitoring of your actions, and paying for the service for things like : yahoo messenger , msn messenger , youtube , myspace , twitter , google ( paying for your limited internet engine search results ) - what the government want you to know .



    i can see all this happening if folks don't wake up, i think alot of people are already programmed to just go along with these new policies automatically..



    and with this new video from alex jones recentley saying there planning to shut down the web :





    that was the question today more or less warning people .





    here is a recent development about this new policy to change youtube on april the 16th - which alot of youtube fans are seriously unhappy about , here, you have to read it :



    http://www.businessinsider.com/the-new-y…







    this is only the beggining, apparentley their making it look like '' hulu '' and some are saying they can predict people will eventually have to pay for youtube ..



    i already fear alot of people are to brainwashed to wake up to whats happening.



    when they shut down the net, it will be too late.What do you think about this new policy to ruin youtube?
    You quite rightly resent the intrusion of marketing interests into this very flexible, very nearlly international forum.



    The loss of the open format, at its best, community-interactive, and at its veritable worst, just mildly anarchic, would entail some sharp, angry pains in the pelvis.



    It is true that Youtube is as frustating and enigmatic as any graffitti wall, where contributors are forever throwing up their 'material' on top of their predecessors', and where the creative possiblities of brazen unaccountability have long since been staked out.



    The next step is to exhaust those possibilities; some are ALREADY prepared to throw out the old hat, while the rest of us could be kept happy for as much time as we've got left with what we've got.



    Welcome to the injustice of middle-age, Dr. Proteus.



    It just gets worse, 'as we go sliding down the razor-blade of life'.What do you think about this new policy to ruin youtube?
    1 The New World Order idea has been around since before I was born (1950s) and it hasn't happened yet unless we want it to*.



    2 If I am required to pay for Yahoo Answers or YouTube... I'll just stop using it. I can live without these things just the way I did a few years ago before they were around. I used to visit a local news forum a long time ago where people would discuss news topics. Then people started becoming haters and the forum turned real ugly. The forum changed and required people to register and log-in... I didn't like the idea of being identified, so I just stopped doing that and found something else.



    3 If %26quot;the government%26quot; is going to monitor everyone's activities, how many people will that require... and secondly... who is going to watch those people.



    4 YouTube didn't make a new policy. They have always had a policy against copyright infringement. They promised to do something about violators if complaints were registered. WMG complained and YouTube is now enforcing their policy. The enormous scope of the violations has made YouTube get tough concerning uploading.



    What this policy shows us is NOT how Big Brother is watching us, but rather, how many people are willing to violate a policy that they agreed to abide by in the first place. An old comic strip had a famous quote: “WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US.” This is very true!



    * People voluntarily give up their rights all the time. When you use a savers card at your grocery store, you are giving up your privacy to the store (who use the data to target market you) so you'll save a few cents on peanut butter or tuna. People insist on safer streets. So they install cameras that record everyone who drives through an intersection. Security cameras are everywhere and most people are happy that they are, when the images are used to help capture a criminal. When it comes to the government controlling things, consider this: When gas prices recently hit over $4 a gallon, people began saying that the government should step in and control gas prices. If it had happened, do you believe that once the government had taken control of gas sales, that things would ever go back to 'normal'? After taking over, the government could do whatever it wanted. And who would we be able to complain to then? We asked for it!

    Why does hardly no one believe that they're going to shut down the internet?

    here a question i asked earlier on today about the warning to shut down the internet , re-open it and then heavily censor it, monitor and restrict the net.



    :



    i keep getting laughed at about this warming i keep telling people about relating to the nwo and plans to shut down the internet , and reopen it with a restricted monitored internet.







    with the NWO ( new world order ) speeding up its agenda , and recent talk about shutting down the internet , and then opening it back up with '' internet 2 '' a restricted version of the internet , where the government monitors your movements closely , you wont be able to access certain news , or websites or be able to download and have to pay to download anything etc.



    do you think yahoo answers will advance to the stage where you'll have to pay to use it ? pay to ask a question ? pay to log in ?



    where it will be monitored and you will be blocked from asking certain questions ?



    the scary thing is, i can actually see this happening, waking up one day to an announcement from yahoo answers that they've implement these '' new '' policies and rules for the site.



    and to have your bank or debit card available and pin number, or a special key number to pay to ask a question.



    just like the announcement for youtube recently how it shocked and upset alot of people, took people by surprise , blew people out...



    and the even more worrying thing is , i can see people just like sheep '' going right along with things '' saying '' oh its just the sign of the times , '' or '' the way things are now '' . - that's the way alot of people are like these days , brainwashed, dumbed down, sheep..



    i can even see the spreading policy of the blocking things and monitoring of your actions, and paying for the service for things like : yahoo messenger , msn messenger , youtube , myspace , twitter , google ( paying for your limited internet engine search results ) - what the government want you to know .

    when they shut down the net, it will be too late.Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    You can't just shut down the internet. People rely on the net for everything. The world would be in total chaos without it.

    As far as sites like this one becomes a %26quot;pay site%26quot; - that would be a terrible move. Yahoo wants traffic. They want you to view their ads, use their mail service, use their web building tools, etc. Why do you think google is so successful? They have created free, well designed and useful tools and applications - all of which gives them a better Ad reputation than any other company. If they started charging for these services - they may as well close the doors.



    The internet isn't going anywhere. As a matter of fact, you can't shut it down without destroying the entire infrastructure of business's worldwide.



    One last thing, doesn't the government already monitor what we're doing anyway? Why would they want to advertise it now?Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    Nah, when they shut it down we'll just have to go apeshit, which is either what they don't want to happen or exactly what they want to happen.Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    LOLLLLLL dear they have been doing that for years. Why do you think there are programs like facebook, yahoo answers etc?Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    b/c they won't shut down the internet

    ur just overreacting

    they might plan it, but i don't think they willWhy does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    The internet is where most of the worlds finance is amde, i highly doubt they'll just close it down.Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    Are you worried more about the NWO or losing your yahoo. Who would pay yahoo for this crap?Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    What is next ?Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    it would crush the economy if they shut it down so they never would. people would most likely boycott. especially in these hard timesWhy does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    The main reason that I don't see this happening is because the internet is worldwide and there is no way all the different nations would ever be able to agree on what limitations and restrictions should be put into effect.



    Just like the fact that in some countries prostitution is legal and in others it's okay to smoke marijuana. There's just to much difference in all the different world societies to for this to work.Why does hardly no one believe that they%26039;re going to shut down the internet?
    is that for sure ,i mean just the gossip? i cant image how's the results after they shut down the net ,if for so ,that means we have to pay for another extra consumption online. um,.oach~~~ horrible.

    How selfish is Lebron?

    Before the game, James took a little shot at Marbury's $14.98 kicks, saying he couldn't imagine endorsing a sneaker that cheap. %26quot;No, I don't think so,%26quot; James said. %26quot;Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high.%26quot;

    Obviously LeBron James rise to fame and riches has allowed him to forget about where he comes from. Isn't this the same LeBron James that grew up in poverty in Akron, OH? What Marbury is doing is starting a cultural revolution. He's trying to change the game so that kids don't feel left out if they don't have a pair of $150 shoes. If LeBron wanted to be the man to be a real global icon, he would look to be something more than a puppet for Nike and become a leader like Marbury and step out and do something different that would actually aid the people that come from backgrounds similar to his own. Lebrons ag reat player but that tells me taht he dosent care about the fans he just wants there money marburys doing a great thing how could Lebron even make comments like that isnt it ironic how marbury gets a rep on court for being a selfish player but he's generous off court %26amp; Lebron is generous on court but off court he's the selfish one that goes to show that you can't judge a players personality by his on court mentalilty it seems Lebron fans over look things like this or speeding but they bash Kobe to make Lebron look good what if Lebron would have hurt himself or a child speeding over 150 mph that's just immatureHow selfish is Lebron?
    you bring up a great point. although i think there's small caveat in that i'm sure nike wouldnt be pleased with lebron if he had said that he could imagine himself endorsing a sneaker like the starburys. money talks, unfortunately, and in this case the money comes from lebron's huge deal with nike. so it could either be its what he's obligated to say, or that he really is that way, but either way you're right in saying that court mentality doesnt necessarily translate to one's personality.How selfish is Lebron?
    well said.How selfish is Lebron?
    You're absolutely right. This is what happens when people become rich and famous. They have the mindset of %26quot;Well, I used to be poor, but look at me now, other people can do it too%26quot;. I really respect what Stephon Marbury is doing. Lebron is being extremely selfish, and seems to have forgotten how hard it is for poverty-stricken people to play, and have fun.How selfish is Lebron?
    This is just an example of media hype. Star athletes are people too and Barkeley is right; they're not role models. So all this marketing on Lebron, guys it's a fake Lebron isn't a role model he just say or do what we and the media wants to see and hear so that he could get the publicity. Obviously these comments have shown that he has forgotten where he is from. Some of these guys like Stephon may have issues but they hadn't forgotten where they came from.How selfish is Lebron?
    Lebron is so overrated, and if he wins MVP, I'm never watching the NBA again.



    Besides don't forget that most of these players just make up a story that they were poor n **** bla bla bla to give other people hopeHow selfish is Lebron?
    Great point you make of LeBron James by the way, great on the court doesn't necessary mean great off the court and you make a great example of that. It's just peoples who thinks theses great athletes are great on the court, are great off the court, not true. Stephan Marbury isn't that great anymore on the court lately but whats he's doing off the court is a great humanitarian, a pair of shoe's for $15, wow any kids can afford that but you can't afford LeBron James $150 shoes, no way in hell. But went it come to a person, LeBron is a great guy but Marbury is a bad guy, wow go figure.How selfish is Lebron?
    Yeah I gotta agree with you on this one, you'd think with Lebrons past he'd be completely opposite. I'm a fan of him but he really let himself down here, going on about that to Marbury. At least Marbury is doing something decent then he gets called selfish all the time it aint right but hey what are ya gonna do. they're probs both nice ppl reallyHow selfish is Lebron?
    Michael Jordan ruined the NBA..it's a fact!..



    Now we have players worried about a 200.00$ basketball shoe instead of the game itself?......



    Media made hero's.....sad.How selfish is Lebron?
    KOBE SUCKS!



    HE TRIES TO BE LIKE MIKE EVEN HAS TV ADS LIKE MJ...

    YOU KOBE FANS ARE SO LOW ON IQ!



    KOBE MAKES THE LAKERS SUCK!



    ITS THE KOBE SUCK EFFECT!How selfish is Lebron?
    I totaLLY FORGOT that KOBE rapped a chick, (Not his wife btw) then paid her off and claimed it as adultery, yeah what a guy!... What a STUPID post, everyone drives fast, hes only 24, he'll learn to slow it down, btw did LBJ ever kick anyone off his team (Kobe`` v-- Shaq/Phil)???How selfish is Lebron?
    Well said. I hate Lebron. I think Marbury is being generous as you said putting out a cheap shoe for kids who can't dish out hundreds of dollars.How selfish is Lebron?
    Lebron James is one of the most unselfish stars i've have ever WITNESSED the only reason Marbury is endousing the STARBURYS is because he dosn't stand a chance of getting a real endoursment like NIKE... and another thing I do play ball about 3-5 times a week and if you where the suck burys you will have blister and your foot will fall off after about 3 days... The Lebrons are a great shoe and if you can't afford them then get a job you lazy dumb a s s . And as for the forgetting about where he comes from HE has rebuilt just about every park and basketball court in that hell hole and not to mention HE payed to have a NEW football feild built @ ST. MARY's high school where he attened. And just another inside scoop, LEBRON has walked it to local stores in Akron and told the manager that he will pick up the grocery tab for any single mother that come through the line today and has done that on more than one occation. And by the way he was only going 100 mph. not 150... Marbury is such a great leader and so unselfish that his whole team hates him and the NY knicks are stuck with him because his salery is so high so who is the selfish one??? If you were going to make a statement about someone being selfish you probly should't use one of the biggest dirt bags in the NBA as your roll model... Jelousy will get you no where So lace up your starburys and go to work everyday like LEBRON and just maybe you can get out of those cheap shoes and upgrade to a shoe that is only fit for a KING!!!!! LBJ 23 baby is a great man....

    Fellow Americans... What do you think will happen to the United States in the next few years?

    Politics is what's ruing our country? This back and forth Republican and Democrat BS arguing and bickering amongst themselves, the old divide and conquer strategy? Are the politicians just playing us and realistically they are all in bed with one another while they laugh all the way to the bank with our money.... while we are just too preoccupied with other issues, we are all being lied to, manipulated, deceived, etc. The Bail-outs, GM, Chrysler, $$$$$ They are paying each other off with our taxpayer money.... cash for clunkers was a scheme not an incentive to boost profits, it sold cars with taxpayer $4500 rebates given to the buddies in the car companies...

    I compare it to two football fans wanting to fight each other over %26quot;their%26quot; team, so brainwashed, so foolish, idiotic, getting nowhere arguing and willing to fist fight over something so stupid as a football game or certain team.

    Are we all on the same team? United we stand? keep waving that flag and smiling with that glossy eyed look... it is all an illusion. If America fails and crumbles from within, just remember, WE will all go down together in the same ship.



    WE are at war, right here in our own country. I see %26quot;change%26quot;, everyday, things are bad, worse than I ever had seen my neighborhood on a daily basis, I see and read about muggings, more burglaries, the elderly and child abuse, the home invasions, i see the emptiness in childrens eyes, i see all of the illegal aliens stroll into town, i see thefts from businesses, auto thefts, i see gangs and violence on the streets, I see the long lines at the unemployment office, the soup kitchens are booming business, I see the once hard working people now desperate people struggling to get by, i see the pain and disgust on people's faces, the jobless to homeless (hey buddy do you got a quarter? ), i see people digging through restaurant garbage bins and dumpsters to eat....and the drug problem is crazier than ever. CAN'T THE U.S. government really help us, and protect our communities from home grown terrorsim with these gang members???? Why don't they do something right here at home before it's too late.... these issues eventually will adversly affect all of us. Do they care? There's no funding, no tax cuts, no incentives, but the politicans line their pockets with 787 Billion in taxpayer stimulus money.... leaving us high and dry, how about the social security ponzi scheme, and the drained medicare program?? Don't these politicans see America falling apart from within? The collapse of infrastructure, the downfall of our communities. Maybe, that is their plan, maybe this is their goal? These politicans are the same people representing us, a voice of the people, they're calling the shots and determining what's good for us. The polticians fly first class and don't have to put up with any of the non-sense, such as, the duck and cover run and hide from gun shots spewing through the air in the city, the high speed chases, the stabbings, THEY SIMPLY DON'T CARE.... I'm afraid to drive down the street in broad daylight let alone walking on the street at night. WE as a country is in deep shet.. we will refer to the USA as the United Ghettos of America, becoming one big slum. God, what did we do? What are our kids going to have? What kind of future is there? Wowwww..... IT IS ALL ABOUT CONTROL...... and they the polticians, the government got us really good to the point that we are all slaves, tax whores, sheepies.... www.readthestimulus.orgFellow Americans... What do you think will happen to the United States in the next few years?
    The government will grow by continuing to spend our money on porkulous that does nothing but continue to remove our liberties.



    Unemployment will grow to devastatingly high levels and more small businesses will go under. More terrorists will follow Hasan's lead. We need to stop this whitewash of political correstness and call a spade a spade.



    If the health care bill passes with the added pork, we will soon be a Marxist regime.



    We can be saved if people will continue to wake up. We have a chance to change things in 2010/2012



    Life is change. Growth is optional. My hope is that people will choose wisely.



    MRFellow Americans... What do you think will happen to the United States in the next few years?
    i didnt read that insane rant.





    honestly? the economy will get better, and everyone will forget about politics again.Fellow Americans... What do you think will happen to the United States in the next few years?
    What a ridiculous rant, and that's all it is, a rant. People back in the 1920's thought our nation was done for. They thought we were falling apart and lack of morals were killing us. The crime rate during Prohibition and murder was unbelievable. Same thing back them. We were all going to hell in a handbasket. Stop obsessing!



    We are getting better, not worse. We are starting to recover from the Bush years, slowly but surely. My 401K is looking healthier by the day. And you can walk down the street at 3 in the morning in my town, no problem or gangs. Stop generalizing or you'll drive yourself nuts!Fellow Americans... What do you think will happen to the United States in the next few years?

    Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?

    Now, the most obvious finals match-up is la cleveland, and day by day more and more people are saying that cleveland is going to win, but I ask how? Look at these match-ups, and whoever can explain to me how cleveland has the advantage, and can change my mind will get best answer and 10 free points.



    Pg: Derek Fisher vs. Mo Williams- Probally goes in Clevelands favor for the way he's playing, but fisher is solid and has loads more playoff expierence than mo, but mo does have a little edge.

    Sg: Kobe Bryant vs. Delonte West- This is a joke there is no way that Delonte West will be able to check Kobe, I mean honestly this is going to be exploited.

    Sf: Lamar Odom( Yes he doesnt start but gets the most minutes at sf) vs. Lebron- Yes, Lebron has the adavantage but again Lamar is no slouch and wont be the only one gaurding Lebron. (see more later on)

    Pf: Pau Gasol vs. Anderson Varejo- Pau has the obvious advantage, yea Varejo isnt horrible but Pau is just so much more skilled on both ends of the floor and will dominate this match-up, hustle only gets you so far Varejo.

    C: Andrew Bynum vs. Big Z: Big Z is skilled, but Andrew Bynum is younger and more athletic than Big Z and when Andrew isn't in Big Z is going to HAVE TROUBLE GAURDING GASOL.

    Bench:

    Ariza, Farmar, Shannon Brown, Sasha, Luke Walton, Josh Powell vs. Gibson, Wally, Hickson, Wallace, Joe Smith- Hmmmmmmmm.... notice the lack of quality depth for Cleveland vs. Lakers bench, one of the best in the nba, this hasn't been exploited yet and trust me in the finals it will be while lebron is out there doing his thing Varejo and Big Z are looking for some air.

    Difference maker: Kobe

    No one can guard kobe on cleveland, no one. Lebron? Okay yea, but then whos gaurding Ariza, Walton, or Lamar? Delonte West? Can't be done, no one can guard Kobe because Lebron can slide down because the Cavs just dont have THE DEPTH

    Difference Maker:

    Lebron james- Obviously second best player in the world right now, but no other team in the leauge has 4 guys to guard them like LA DOES. They have Kobe in the crunch who is 1st all defensive, Ariza for the brunt of the game who is a premier defender, and Walton and Odom who are both very very skilled defenders, espciacally odoms length speed and size.

    X-Factor:

    LA's bench and big guys, the Cavs only have 2 quality big guys in Anderson and Big Z, wallace is to small and old, and joe smith is to old, if and when La's big dominate the paint then the game is done. And for the bench, when the Cavs have Lebron on the bench La will exploit every possible angle and make lebron have to play more minutes than hes capable of.

    Closing Statement:

    I just don't see cleveland winning this series, I mean honestly Lebron can only take you so far, look at what happend against San Antoino 2 years ago, the superior TEAM WON and thats what will happen. And I hope some ESPN guy sees this and finally realizes that LA is just on a whole different level,O yea not to mention LA is not affraid of playing in Cleveland, or the Cavs in general winning the season series at 2-0. So Cleveland fans, please stop believingAm I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    HELL YEAH GO LAKERS!Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    I bet this took you an hour to write.

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    anything less than that championship is failure for the lakers. i agreeAm I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    Lakers because they have good offense and they got good strategies. There doing pretty good so far 2Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    Nope ,I know the Lakers will beat the Cavs if it comes to that!Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    Lebron makes everyone around him play better, kobe doesnt have the same effectAm I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    Actually, most people think the Lakers will winAm I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    i didnt read your whole %26quot;novel%26quot;, but i read one sentence,%26quot;...Lebron can only take you so far...%26quot; So what your saying is Lebron is the only good player on the cavs? try mo williams, delonte west,anderson varejao, ilgauskas, wally, and gibson. im a celtics fan, and even i know who the better team is in the '08-'09 playoffs.





    Additional: you are saying odom and bynum are stars? they are good players, just like the others i metioned for the cavs, but if the lakers and cavs played each other with out kobe and lebron, i say the the cavs win.Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    there not facing eachother anyway cause the sixers are going all the wayAm I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    you keep thinking that.

    just remember one thing buddy, lakers are 0-2 since shaq leftAm I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    If the Lakers and Cavs play it will be very hotly contested. But your opinions seem pretty biased.Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    That is why you play the game to see who is better,



    If we just pick the first round matchups and guess who should win because of personal opinion and stats then why should we play the game.



    The games are play by people and certain people steps up and certain people don't. So far most people thought the Celtics would beat the Bulls and they did not but then again if Pierce makes that one free throw then the Celtics win so this shows how people and their failure or miss opportunity can affect a game. Same can be said of the 76ers game and Orlando. Most people thougth Orlando would easily win this match up and we saw how the 76ers came back from 18 down and won. So basically we play the game and who really wins.





    So do I think the Lakers will win if they happen to meet the Cavs? I think they would be favored and if I put money on one team then I would put it on LA but under no circumstance do I know that the lakers would win if they met.



    Last year a lot of people thought LA would beat Boston and we saw what happened there. A lot has to do with matchups and a lot of people forgot that the Cavs has beaten LA the last 4 times before this year so it is not like the Cavs has not beaten this team. In a 7 games series it comes to who is better prepared, who is hungrier and overall who has better talent and also perhaps how the ball bounces. We might dismissed what the Cavs done this year but they are a pretty good team and have a pretty good players and It would not suprise me if the Cavs raise the NBA banner this year. But the Lakers are favored and they should be but it is not a guarantee for them.Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    Funny, the last thing you said that it is your theory, and the reason they call it theory is it cannot be proven. We have to wait and see how it all jell out. If you look at the Cavs roster there are a lot of teams that from top to bottom are better on paper than them but it is not who is better in each position is is how well that all these parts work together. Its kinda like a resturant were you have the chefs making all the important decison for the menu and each person doing their part to compliment what the chef is preparing. You theory is base on position by position and it might come down to that but what I learned that it also might come down to what team plays better together. The Detroit team that beat the Lakers in the finals a few years ago was definitely a weaker team on paper if you break it down like you broke it down player by players But that Detroit team played well together and that was the difference so having more talent does not necessarily mean a victory. Like I said before it might come down to talent but it also might come down to what team plays better together with the talent they have.Am I the only 1 that knows LA will beat Cleveland??? Look at my thinking...?
    the lakers are better. but lets face it.... david stern will decide who wins...

    TKD is not useless. Why? Let's ask Dan Hardy....?

    Personally, I think TKD is not useless, but it's all of to individual to adopt their own styles from martial arts..... Now, MMA is becoming extremely popular and I am UFC fan, and most of today's champion all came from background of TKD and most Muay Thai. But mostly Muay Thai is being much used, however, let see what's so different about these two and these 2 styles and their advantages.



    Dan Hardy Exclusive - 'A lot of my style comes from taekwondo'



    Apart from Thai boxing, most of the traditional striking styles from the Orient have dropped by the wayside during the recent and rapid fusion of martial arts. Lyoto, on the other hand, has adapted his father's Machida Karate style to create his own unique brand of MMA.



    Obviously, many fighters started off along the traditional martial art route. Georges St. Pierre demonstrates some of his karate background when he fights - especially in his earlier bouts - and I noticed that Dan Hardy, having trained taekwondo since the age of six, also likes to pick off his opponents more technically.



    I asked him how much of his style is attributed to the South Korean national sport.

    %26quot;I would say quite a lot of it, actually. Certainly a lot of the footwork and the movement. With taekwondo being an Olympic sport, and it being based on scoring points, you have to be very quick to move in and out and score your points without getting scored on. So I think a lot of the footwork that I use, moving around the Octagon, moving into strike and then getting back out again, I think a lot of it was taken from taekwondo.



    %26quot;And all the way through my career I've never really taken too many shots in fights, kind of similar to Machida, I think that's because of the footwork and the timing of throwing the strikes from traditional styles like taekwondo and karate. So it's been very useful to me. Obviously I've had to adapt a few things to suit MMA because with taekwondo it's very easy to get punched in the face and get taken down, so certain things have changed but I have taken a lot from it definitely.%26quot;



    %26quot;You can watch my fights. I'm always pretty light on my feet and that's from years of competing in taekwondo, especially as it became an Olympic sport the fighters I was coming up against were getting faster, so I had to adapt, but that was the point where they were just too fast.%26quot;



    Hardy has also taken many useful elements from Thai boxing to create a highly technical striking style.



    %26quot;I've had quite a few Muay Thai fights before, just around the UK really,%26quot; he told me in an earlier interview. %26quot;The first couple of years I was fighting pro MMA I was fighting Muay Thai as well. My main thing was I used my range, my kicking and punching like I do in MMA. But I did work out the best techniques for myself and my body type that would be effective in MMA through my Muay Thai fights.



    He also likes to use the front push kick which, surprisingly, is rarely seen in MMA - and which I mistakenly thought it was the Thai boxing 'teep'.



    %26quot;To be honest, that's more from my taekwondo background. With the Muay Thai teep you really commit to it, but in taekwondo you use a push kick and it's a much faster technique and I think that's why I have more success with it as I land it with more speed than a normal teep. That's where the effectiveness comes from, the foot work's slightly different to Muay Thai.%26quot;



    Well, it seems apparently, Dan Hardy said it all.....



    Let's also not forget many champions such as Anderson Silva, Cung Le, etc all came from TKD background, and later adopted to their own style...TKD is not useless. Why? Let%26039;s ask Dan Hardy....?
    I think I understand your question some what.



    The techniques used in TKD and TKD tournaments are abit flash as thats what scores the point, etc.



    As the aim is to kick the targets the TKD fighters have on their shield thing and score points.



    In MMA a more basic style is used to fight with all the flashy moves taken out as they seem to high risk, were there is a higher chance the shot will not land and you may get hit.



    You cannot say that Muay Thai kicks are harder than TKD kicks, as explained by one of the guys who posted earlier on, this depends on the individual and not the style.



    As Muay thai is a very basic art form, there are just a handful of techniques, etc it is used much more openly in MMA.



    To sum up the answer to your question, the techniques mainly used are basic techniques (kicks wise) as your more prone to getting taken down, missing, etc.TKD is not useless. Why? Let%26039;s ask Dan Hardy....?
    Nice book you wrote but once fighter realize they get more power from Mauy Thai kicks they drop TKD, just the facts son, just the facts.TKD is not useless. Why? Let%26039;s ask Dan Hardy....?
    Its useless.TKD is not useless. Why? Let%26039;s ask Dan Hardy....?
    Dan who?TKD is not useless. Why? Let%26039;s ask Dan Hardy....?
    what exactly is the question?



    lol dan hardy just did an interview for ultimate mma magazine and he said he doesent feel traditional stuff works thats why he got into mma

    btw cung le did tae kwon do in his teens he got good by doing san da

    anderson wrote in his book that tae kwon do is good but very limiting and that he prefers muay thai....

    even if they started with it none of them incorporate TKD into there training anymore

    if ya think anderson and dan hardy are doing katas and point sparring before fights ur nuts....
