Petty, Sir William
Petty, Sir William, 1623–87, English statistician and physician. He was a founder of the Royal Society and was physician general to the army of Ireland in 1652. Petty's survey of the Irish estates appropriated by Oliver Cromwell, begun in 1654 and carried out in 13 months, was the first attempt at scientific surveying on a large scale. He won favor with Charles II, was knighted (1662), and became surveyor general of Ireland. In 1673, Petty's detailed map of Ireland was completed. It is as a political economist, however, that Petty is remembered. He disapproved of the ban on bullion export, favored an Irish-British union, and contended that labor determines price. His important writings include A Treatise on Taxes and Contributions (1662) and The Political Anatomy of Ireland (1691).

Riding a motorcycle is dangerous. I could get cleaned up by a car any second. I could lose traction and hit a tree. I could go wide in a turn and go head-on into another car.
But why do I do it? It's not the negatives that spur me on, because if it was, then I wouldn't be doing it. For me, the positives outweigh the negatives.
The freedom. The sensation: the wind in my hair (boys and girls, keep your helmets on), the breeze on my face, the smell of the rich exhaust, the rasping roar, the low but rumbling idle, the thrill of going faster than you actually dare, leaning further and further into corners, the realisation that my life is largely in my hands – these are some, but not all, of the many things which make riding a motorcycle an amazing experience.
My right hand controls how long I live for – seconds? Minutes? Hours? Or how soon I come to my end. If I feel lucky, maybe I'll give it a bit more of a twist. If I'm lucky, nothing bad will happen. And if nothing bad happens, then that means I'm blasting my away from everyone else, in my own world.
I'm yet to come across an apt description of what it feels like to be cruising along at, clear road ahead, beautiful blue sky, warm sun, cool breeze, peace and quiet around except for the exhaust, one with the bike. My head inside the helmet, in its own little world – drifting away, yet at the same time 100% focused on riding, feeling the bike, feeling the road. It's surreal, addictive and exhilarating like nothing else I've ever tried.
The beauty is that I could be rocketing along – or I could be cruising along, it wouldn't matter. It's the experience that counts. Not how fast you get there. Not how many turns you took. Not how low you got around the corners. And the best thing about it all?
That's for you to answer.

TWINNING their success, Sylvia Doyle and identical sister Christina completed the London Marathon in just under four hours - despite an injury!
The 46-year-old Runcorn runners refused to quit each other's side, even when Christina fell foul to a back injury.
The courageous duo joined 600 competitors and lapped the 26.2 miles together.
Between them, they have notched up an amazing 25 marathons, and last year pledged £2,000 to Macmillan Cancer Relief.
Inspiration to raise money for Macmillan came from Sylvia's sister-in-law Val, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
Now that a close friend of Sylvia's also has cancer, the twins are even keener to excel in their fundraising and the cash is still pouring in.
Sylvia, who works at Superfos Packaging in the Ast-moor industrial estate, said:
'Christina and I never leave each other's side, especially when it comes to marathons, and we take part in all the same social activities.'
The race atmosphere was described as 'fantastic' by Sylvia, with more than 30,000 spectators on the day.
She said: 'We won't know how much we've raised until we get a final donation from Superfos, but we're hoping it will be more than last year.'
* A sponsored walk has been organised by Macmillan Cancer Relief in Marbury Country Park Walk on May 25. For details, call Vicky Bolster at Warrington Hospital on 01925 662792.

Today (16 January 2017) is dubbed 'Blue Monday', the day when the dark dreariness of the post-Christmas and New Year period begins to take its toll. Weather conditions, the realisation of post-Christmas debts and the inevitable sluggishness after the over-indulgence of the festive season, combine to make the middle of January very difficult.
This combination of factors can leave people feeling depressed and anxious about their situation in life. For most this anxiety will quickly pass, but others can move from anxiety, to depression and more serious mental health issues.
We're rightly encouraged to talk about our feelings when we're experiencing difficulty. It can often be the first step to dealing with whatever the problem is and preventing it from escalating. However, for talking to be effective we need someone to listen. So why don't we make this year's Blue Monday a day of listening?
Effective listening can be really helpful to other people. It's about focusing on the other person. It's not about offering advice on what to do - but actively listening to what they're saying. Not just hearing the words, but taking in what the words mean for that person; helping them to reflect and understand what the key issues are. It's helpful to remind ourselves about the importance of open questions - sometimes called 5WH - who, what, where, when, why and how. For example: "how do you feel?", "what would you like to do?", or "how can I help you?".
Taking time out to give a friend or colleague your undivided attention, even for just 15 minutes, can make all the difference. When I was Principal at Hackney Community College, we used to hold a college event on World Mental Health Day where we encouraged students and staff to take time out just to listen to other people.
The number of students suffering from mental ill-health is increasing, according to an Association of Colleges survey. NHS specialist mental health services for both young people and adults are already stretched. I wonder what difference we could make in preventing the escalation of mental health issues, if we just listened to that person sooner rather than later? If that person felt, right at the moment they started to suffer, that someone would listen to them with all the necessary focus, would they seek help before the situation got out of hand?
Listening skills are vital in life, but it's very easy to fall out of practise in using them. We're all bombarded with information, distracted by news and our own concerns. People frequently find themselves not really paying attention to the person with whom we're supposed to be in conversation. How often do you find yourself checking your emails or looking at social media when you're out with friends? With your attention focused away from that friend, are you missing the point they're trying to make? Is that friend trying to communicate something that is vital to them and you're not hearing?
Instead of allowing Blue Monday to epitomise doom and gloom, let's take ownership of the 'most depressing day of the year' and make it the day we pledge to give our friends, family and work colleagues 15 minutes of our undivided attention to really listen to them. So switch off the TV, close down social media and put down your smartphone. Focus on the person in front of you and by doing this, a friend could go from Blue Monday to feeling in the pink.

Client side encryption for Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, FTP, or WebDav are one important security feature CrossFTP Pro provides to enhance the data transfer security. To further enhance the transfer security, CrossFTP Pro supports local encryption for for all FTP protocols it can handle, including FTP, SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, Amazon S3, etc. After enable the local encryption, in the upload process, all files will be firstly encrypted before they are transferred to the remote site. In the download process, the encrypted file will be decrypted after the file is downloaded from the remote site to the local drive. We will add ".aes" extension to the encrypted files to stand for the encryption.
We uses one of the strongest block ciphers available,
256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), for the encryption. 256-bit is the largest
key size defined for AES.
To enable the local encryption, you can choose Site Manager -> Security -> Enable Local Encryption, and input the password for the encryption, as shown in the figure. The password is encrypted stored in the site bookmarks file to ensure the security.
TIP: On a default JRE/JDK installation, AES is limited to 128-bit key size. Hence you will see AES-256 encryption failed with empty files. This is a remnant of
import/export laws on cryptographic algorithm. To unlock larger AES key sizes, you need to download and apply the
"JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files" (for latest JRE/JDK see at the bottom of
this page).
Attention: You must make sure you enter the password correctly and remember the
password. Otherwise, you cannot recover the encrypted files if you lost the configuration.
This feature is available for CrossFTP 1.86.2 or later.
CrossFTP is a FTP and Amazon S3 client for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Yes, the Breakfast Monkey has a brother. In fact, he has about fifty siblings. They all live together in a tiny house in Northern Wafflonia. Of course, there's always one rotten one in the bunch, and his brother Spanks is it. He's rude, obnoxious, and an all around pain-in-the-ass. And he likes pie. He's also my favorite BM character. This is an updated design for me, but most if not all of you are seeing him for the first time. Let me know if you want to see more of Spanks. I know I do!

LCV Statement on Administration Announcement on Offshore Drilling Plan
WASHINGTON – Today the Department of the Interior announced they will not allow offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico or areas off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as part of the next five-year offshore drilling plan, which runs from 2012 to 2017. The administration also announced that further environmental review is needed to determine if Shell Oil can proceed with drilling in the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic Ocean.
In response to the Obama administration's announcement on offshore drilling, LCV President Gene Karpinski today released the following statement:
"We commend President Obama for protecting much of America's coasts from the all too evident perils of offshore drilling. The recent tragedy in the Gulf Coast clearly demonstrates that our dependence on oil – be it from hostile nations or friendly coasts – hurts our economy, threatens our security and harms our environment.
However, we are disappointed that drilling in the especially fragile Arctic is still under consideration. The damage to the Gulf Coast continues and the full impacts of a blowout in the icy Arctic waters have yet to be quantified, and effective spill cleanup capacity in this remote area is severely lacking.
As the president himself has said on numerous occasions, the nation that leads in the creation of a clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the 21st century's global economy. We applaud President Obama for transitioning our nation away from dangerous offshore drilling and we look forward to continuing to work together to promote initiatives that will move us towards cleaner, more secure sources of energy made in America."

I have a Dell Optiplex GX270. When I press the power button, the power button light turns amber, I hear some fans spinning, and the CD drive spinning. However, it never gets to the boot screen (or any screen). If I open the case and press the power button, however, the power button turns green and the computer works fine (loads all the way up and functions like normal). If I close the case after it has started, it continues to run fine. I'm guessing / hoping it's not the mother board or power supply that has directly gone bad... but maybe there is a connection or something? that changes from when it's closed to when it's open. I've heard of something like... the motherboard is shorting out by touching the case... but I'm not really sure where to look for that / how. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have an Acer Aspire X1700 (Details
It's about 2 1/2 years old now. Came with Windows Vista, I upgraded it to Windows 7. Also has a newer video card than what came with it.
Anyway, The PSU fan is getting really obnoxious, it gets really loud (more or less like a lawn mower). I have taken the thing apart and have tried every suggestion given to quiet it down, which it does for a whole week or two. This is a small form factor PC, so to even take the power supply out you have to basically take out everything else just to get to it. I have looked for replacements but they are very obsolete. It's only 220W anyway, so i'd like something a little more powerful.
What I want to do is get a larger case that I can use the same hardware is (motherboard, drives, etc) and purchase a larger power supply for that case. 220W really limits the PC. The small case holds a lot of heat even with all fans cleaned and working properly. Even just taking a CD/DVD out that was in it is very hot. I want a case with better airflow than this one.
I really am not sure what kind of case to get that will meet my needs. I don't want anything really fancy. If possible I'd like to get it off newegg.com
Any suggestions would be great.

hi all ,
i have a desktop
i changed my broken case to a new case like
i removed the HDD and the motherboard and the CD-rom ..etc and installed them to a new case
but when i press the switch button it works normally , and the screen display normally and there are no beeps , but after like 20 second my computer turns off automatically ! ,
what may cause this issue ?
could be overheating CPU. Did you apply fresh Thermal paste to the HSF after reinstalling the motherboard? Is it tight and secure? Did you blow out all the dirt, dust and debris from the fans' fins?
this is my case and i want to get a motherboard that is compatible with a Intel Core I5-4460 3.2GHz (Quad Core)
list all of them and there price thx
I just bought a new computer which came with the standard exhaust fan at the inside back of the case. However, on the sliding side panel which allows access to the interior hardware there is a grid and screw holes that would accommodate a second 80mm case fan. But like most motherboards , this one only has ports for the CPU fan and only one case fan. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to add a second case fan given this limitation? I live in the Southwest and the ambient temperature around an operating system can be pretty brutal in the summer months so the more cooling power the better. Thanks for any suggestions.
I have a side cover fan and it attaches through a "y" type connection that plugs into the power supply.
Now another question comes up regarding modifying the cooling of my case/ computer etc.
I was wanting to carve two 3 1/2" holes in the top of my case, for two 12cm fans. Now I know fully how to do this, however, I was wondering which direction the air flow should go. Should the fans blow into my case? (Like I suspect) Or should I have them blow out?
The orange highlights are the fans I wish to add. Which direction should I have the air flow setup?
I would have them sucking air out. Hot air rises, and the side panel fan will hit the VGA's mb, etc and spread out, also they are right next to the PSU. You wont have any really big difference either in or out , but I would have those two pulling the hot air that manages to make it to the top of the case out. and negative pressure tend to run a bit cooler overall.
I'm going to build a Computer soon and the case i'm buying comes with a 350w PSU
my computer is going to have:
Asus A8V-E SE Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
Ati Radeon Sapphire X550 256MB PCI-E
1Gb of DDR PC400 Ram

I have a new Aopen AX63pro motherboard (ATX form factor) being shipped from California and wonder if my old AT power supply and case will work with the new board. If I need a new supply, is 300 watts "better" than 235w or 200w? If I need a new case, any thoughts on what's the best value? Does an ATX power supply fit into some AT cases (if there is such a thing) or is a dedicated ATX case/power supply needed?
Thanks to anyone taking time to offer an opinion.
you will most likely need a new case and power supply. Some AT boards will take either a AT or ATX power supply but I have not seen an ATX board that will do both. There may be some exceptions but it is a good bet that you will need to buy some new equipment.
Assume I have a hard disk which supports SATA III (=verified).
I want to put this hard disk into an external hard disk case and connect it by USB v3.0 to my computer.
Later I want to use case and hard disk as backup storage.
Now I doubt that the case supports really SATA III. My guess is that it supports only SATA II.
Ok, I assume the hard disk itself is working with SATA II too.
But I want to use the full speed und feature set of SATA III.
So how can I check the supported SATA versions of the case from Win 7?
You can use which SATA port you need...see here
I am trying to put another hard drive in this dell opitplex 260x of mine. It is becoming nothing but a pain in the rear cause the case uses them stupid green sliders and the case is too small. Could I use another computer case like remove all the parts and transfer them over to the other case.
say a case like this
thats a nice case but if ur willing to blow that kind of money i would get this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144089 its a full tower so lots of room or this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 this one has some of the best airflow and fan capabilities i would buy this one if u have the money
or if ur low on cash get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208021 which is really beautiful and cheap (recomend if u dont got cash lol)
I am looking at new cases that will keep everything cool. I only have about 100 to 150 to spend on a case so im looking for a bargain. My freinds have insisted that i look at the lian li cases (which i hear are great). I dont want to buy until i have some solid info on other cases that are out there.
Antec Sonata II, includes a very good 450W powersupply as well. $120.- at newegg
I need a PC case. Basically I want the following from it:
- Not a dust magnet
- Stylish
- Cool (e.g fans)
- Solid build
Anyway I was looking at a few cases but im still kind of confused on which one to buy, im being told 100's of different things on what to get and what not to get, the cases I have been looking at are:
Antec Nine Hundred
Lian LI PC-7
Thermaltake Soprano/Armor JR
And some other cases. Basically I know what I want but for example the Antec 900 is a great case, I would buy it but my worries is that it will be a dust magnet, psu cables won't reach or the DVI connector won't fit. I have researched each of the cases.
Out of the 4 cases I have been reconmended the PC-7 and the Nine Hundred by far. My budget is around that area, don't want to spend too much as I need to buy other stuff, but I'll spend on quality yeah. I don't know if im better with an aluminium or steel case .
P4 3.4GHZ X2 with h/t
Nvidia Geforce 7900 GTX 512MB

So I decided to build my own computer. I'm deciding on what type of case to get and I don't know which is better full tower or mid tower. Size doesn't matter so much I'm more concerned with room, that is making sure there is enough room for a big video card like a Radeon 6970 and cooling. I was looking at these two cases one is a mid size the other is full size.
Mid size by Antec
Full size tower by Azza

thanks for feedback i've decided to buy the 2nd 1 but thanks...
im geting this case...
im just wondering if it supports my cpu (amd anthlon 64 2x 4600+) ((as i dont understand wat it says.))
hi topps,
the case itself doesn't matter. any case will work as long is it accepts the motherboard you plan on using.
since you plan on buying a case/water cooler combo, the compatibility issue would be with the CPU waterblock. the specs state "all AMD K8 series".... All current Athlon 64's are part of the K8 family, so your's should be "supported". basically the waterblock will include 3 different mounting brackets for each supported socket type.
cheers :wave:
I got a question about a case i have.
i have a large blue case, and the pain has some scratches in it, not too deep, but scratches nonetheless, and im wondering if theres a product safe to use on the case to remove rthem, or maybe a place that sells blue paint for cases?
i have a custom blue color, so not likely to find
thanx dudez and dudettez
Is the case metal or other? I picked up a old tower {case metal} at a garage sale and sanded it down with a wet and dry sand paper { auto body type} re-painted with a arclic high gloss. Was worth the time and effort.
Im learning about the guts of the computer..and getting parts
to put one together...I have a dumb question..Im sure...
I have my case...where would you get slot covers..? the one that
is on my case wouldnt make up with the motherboard I would
like to get...thanks for any help....

I have a Gateway EV700 and the pc has a slim-case. I have a very hard time finding low-profile video cards. I found one that is 8MB, but I would rather get one that has 32 to 64 MB. I am wandering if their is a way I might can change cases from this gateway case to a tower case of some sort?
If their isn't a way, and only if their isn't.. I might be willing to do other stuff .. Like:
Maybe buying a new motherboard, and get a new case with that.
But I don't think there is any hope changing cases because it has built in cuts in the back and front for certain things, and I don't think a case I would get would have the same design. :/
I have contacted Gateway before about getting a video card put in it from them, but they don't have one. It really makes me mad when someone who makes a computer can't even produce video cards made for it.
Thanks, Ryan.
Also, if you find a 16MB PCI Low-Profile videocard, then please tell me.

Unless you just like the look of the ThermalTake better (I do) I'd get the CoolerMaster. I've built a few systems with CoolerMaster cases and really liked them, the toolless installation is pretty nice (but obviously you still need a screwdriver for the motherboard and psu).
This is not actually a problem but more a asking of opinions. I am startign at a new IT company and was told to get a tool bag that will hold enough tools for computer and printer work. I was wondering if someone would have an opinion of this case http://www.caselogic.com/15_4_full_size_computer_case/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=63666or what I should be looking for please I am utterly confused
Well I would think more of the lines of something relating to a fishing tackle box. It does not have to be a actual fishing box but something that can hold many different items and keep them separate.
My alternative to a m-ATX solution , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811204007 , I just ordered it, I love the look and all the features. Like it or not?
Nice price too. What power supply are you going with?
Hello?I'm looking for a pc case I found this one I really liked.But my mobo manual said to buy a miniatx case this one is a mid tower can I still buy it and would it fit?Thanks in advance
yes they almost always drill every case for all mobo styles. I've built several mini-ATX boards in mid-tower cases.
Hello guys and girls i was woundering does a pc case fan need to be compatible with your motherbord or will any case fan work?

I would like to get a new case for my computer. Since my motherboard is in an ATX case now I assume it will fit in any case I get that is ATX. Is this correct? Also, when I switch cases, can I just leave the processor on the mother board, unscrew the board and put it in the new case? Thanks for any assistance.
Most ATX cases are indeed generic, with one possible exception. Many ATX motherboards have different placements of the ports, and frequently ship with a small removable insert for the port section in the back of the case. There is no reason not to leave the processor and memory in the MB for the transfer.
I just bought CPU FAN ZALMAN | 9500A from newegg for my computer I need help on which way all my fans should be facing for the best air flow.
Here is a picture of my case:
Here is what direction the fans blow: (where the numbers are is where the fans are, and the direction they blow)

anyone know why?
no idea. Have you tries copying and pasting then using the winxp rewritable tool. There is a button that says "Write these files to disk". If it can work that way then you at least know nothing is wrong with your drive. Erm after that nope no idea really. Ill post if i think of anything.
PS Nice Desktop. Very Shiny
What case would you guys recommend for this system:
550W Antec True Power 2 EPS Power Supply
ASUS A8N SLI Premium Nforce4
2 x 1GB Geil DDR 400
1 x 200GB Seagate SATA
1 x CDROM
I really like the look of the ANTEC P180, but am a bit worried about whether the PSU is right for it, I have read some forums were people have had problems with fitting in their PSU's into the case and also the cable lengths.
I am assuming that the ANTEC PSU would suit the ANTEC case, but I have been caught this way before
i can't praise the sonatec II any higher it's a wonderful case ut comes with a psu already installed... you may be able to buy this and recoup some cash on either of the psu's
its a very quiet case with very easy installation (apart from a removable mb tray)
excuse any rambling i've just got home from a party with plenty of booze!
I have decided that I need a new case for my pc as it is running far to hot (generally over 60 all the time under load) and I have been leaving a panel open to keep it cooler.
I currently have a standard £20 pc case, in which I have an Asus A7N8X-deluxe with an AMD 3200+XP barton processor.
In choosing a new case I will be looking for good ventilation and hopefully something quite (I run a Zalman flower heatsink on my cpu).
I am looking to spend around £60 (UK). I have been looking around and so far I am looking at the Antec P160, Antec Super Lanboy and the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream.
I like the look of these case's as they come with 120mm fans as standard which should provide good circulation and not make too much noise.
I am not sure about the Lanboy as it seems a bit flash with a led fan at the front, and I noticed that the P160 only has one fan included whereas the others have 2.
I have spoken to a couple of people and they were not keen on the Thermaltake case's based on previous experiences but I would be gratful afor any advice on this.
Many Thanks in advance
I wouldn't be as concerned with how many or which fans actually come with the case but rather the overall cooling potential the case has. You can always add your own fans, move them or replace them to suit your preference.
Read closer and answered my own question, delete this topic please.
okay sounds like a stupid question, but I found this to be rather odd. I was working on another problem with a computer, I ended up having to open the case to fix the problem.
To my amazement I opened the case up and there is not one case fan in the computer. The only thing that is cooling it is the fan in the power supply and the CPU fan . I'm kind of thankfull I put it on a flat, elevated surface to give it more ventalation(has a fan vent on the bottom).
I think I'll eventually get around to putting a few fans in this one, But I'm curious to see anyone else has found this on a computer? They got the computer from a computer show, so it's not a name brand.

I just got my system up and running and i'm pretty stoked. I bought the Logisys Clear Blue system case and theres a problem. There isn't a Power Supply rack above, so theres nothing holding the psu down besides the 4 screws in the back?

i have a proprietary case from gateway. i believe its a midtower. my son has been playing alot of warcraft with the pc. have an antec 480watt psu, geforce 6600gt graphics card, plenty of memory, pent 4 2.6ghz, good mobo and all that. problem is everything is really crammed into the case and sometimes he plays for hours on the weekends and i believe its overheating and after awhile freezes up. i have a couple of extra fans , one is a slot fan but the case isn't really designed for adequate ventilation for longterm gaming. are there midtower cases designed with more space or are all of them tight? should i go to a full size case? i just don't know that much about cases but i know i need more room for better air ventilation. any case suggestions would be appreciated. lioke to stay under 75.00

I am currently using a Thermaltake Soprano case and the cooling is...
I have just bought a new GPU card and would like to upgrade with a new case.
My system spec is:
[email protected]
Asus CuCore 1GB R5770
ASRock Penryn1600SLI
5.5TB Various HDD's
650W Corsair PSU
The case I have been looking at is the Antec 1200 - any other good cases with the same cooling permormance?
What's wrong with the Antec 1200? That case really doesn't require subbing, it's perfect in its own right.
The Antec 900 (2), is pretty spiffy also. It supports water cooling, is fairly roomy, has good airflow, and would be great if you wanted a mid-tower rather than a full.
I'm linking a few Thermaltake offerings, tentatively in you approximate price range;
Antec's customer service is stellar, while Cooler Master's is wretched, hence their absence from these suggestions.
stelel or aluminum
which one is better more durable.. more stronger
i bought a case before that one side bended really easily, but i cant remember if it was steel or aluminum

I dont have a case fan and i want one. Been looking around and so far its between a Vantec Tornado 80mm and a Thermaltake Smart Fan 2. I hear the Tornado is really good and keeping things cool but its incredibly loud. The Smart Fan has manual speed control or somthing, but im not sure wheather ill find since useful since ill have it on full blast anyway. Any recomendations as to which one to pick? Recomendations of any other models is also welcome.
Get a couple of these -> http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-150-007&depa=0

Hi guys, my power supply decided to retire Tuesday night and now my computer sits idle. Now I must use the computer at work. Anyways, I had a P3 800mhz computer with 2 40 gig drives, cd burner, some ram, basic sound card, and a pretty good radion gfx card. The computer is getting up there in age so instead of buying a power supply for my slow computer I have decided to build a new tower. My question is.......what do you recommend to someone who uses his computer for internet exploring, spreadsheets, cd burning, picture editing, and of course video gaming. I want a FAST computer. I do also want to add a dvd burner and have lots of usb plugs. I plan on re using my 2 40 gig drives and cd burner, as well as my video card. So basically I need some input for a tower, power supply, mother board, processor, ram, and what ever else would keep me up to speed for awhile. Oh ya, I will be using XP professional. I have not heard good things about Vista. Thanks guys!!
I built my PC and I used A8N - Deluxe Motherboard from ASUS. 4800+ AMD 64x2 processor, 4GB (1GB per stick) of Dual channel Kingston Hyper X Ram, 2 SLI XFX Nividia 7800 Geforce videocards. 5.1 surround sound. Pioneer DVD burner, Regular Asus DVD rom, 650 watt Xeon powersupply. And for the case I have a case made by Aspire the Navigator. The Full size tower have four fans and one giant exaust fan. 6 USB Ports 4 in back two in front and can add two more with a usb slot that comes with the motherboard. The case has a window and lights up Blue. the who thing cost me $1,700 those are better spec than what you can get from aleinware and for a better price. Shop Newegg they helped me out alot. Good luck man!!
I'm looking to replace the case fans in my new computer I built and I am wondering what are the quietest everyone has found. Can anyone list some good fans??

So I've been building my new gaming rig as suggested by Rage here. I have almost everything with the exception of the RAM, graphics card, hard drive and optical drive. I got my motherboard on friday and wanted to give it a little test drive. However when I pushed the power button on my case it doesn't turn on. I know it's not my power supply since I hooked it up with my old system and it works fine and I also don't think it's my motherboard since I tried out my case's power switch with my old motherboard and it doesn't work. Is there something I'm missing or should I start contacting Antec to see if they'll send me a new switch?
P.S. : I also tried hooking the Reset SW into the PWR slot on my motherboard to see if that works and it doesn't.
double and triple check that you have the PWR and reset plugged in to the correct place Zach, that gets mis-wired more than anything else.
I am so confused. I am building a PC for the first time and I bought a case with two cooling fans......well really what I need is a diagram on where to put certain power cables and the ones that i dont need to have connected. My mboard is a Abit NF7-S.
So I just got a new case , Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition , moved everything last night from my NZXT H440 case. Just by doing this ive knocked 10 degrees off my max GPU temps in stress tests (72 down to 62 ish ) and CPU 7 - 10 degrees after 10 minutes of Aida 64. I have to say it isnt as quiet as my NZXT and i didnt compensate for ambient temps but our house is always about the same temperature (too hot :/ )
Oh and the case is MASSIVE!!
Glad you like it. It's a nice case.0 more replies

I have an Antec 900 and it's a bit cramped and I can't put my Side Panel back on without removing my Liquid Cooling System. I'm looking for an ATX Full tower with a Removable Mobo Tray, and the PSU needs to be mounted on the top. Any suggestions?
What's your budget?
Ok, I'm building a computer, but I'm not sure about which case to get. I was hoping for one that comes with a power supply, mostly because they are cheaper. I was reccommend an Antec one, but Newegg doesn't have it anymore.
Im looking for something that is cheap, but will last a good while. I'd probably only want to spend $100, but if I could get an okay case with a nice power supply seperate, I wouldn't mind spending a bit more money if it would last longer. So can some one please help me find a good case and power supply. Thanks!

Can't find a thread on software for Win7 x64 fan speed control. somebody give me a kick start.
You'd get more informed response on the overclocking and cooling forum would be my guess.
edit: on this board I guess it's called overclocking and case mods. If you do overclocking you're interested in cooling. Those guys would know.
On an older case, an LCD with three digits appears. Are these three digits supposed to be the speed of the CPU, or something else?
Appreciate your assistance.

Well, I have virus issues at the moment and will try another fix tonight when I get home, thanks to HJT help. But, if things are too messed up I'm thinking I may need to format the hard drive to clear it out. What I was wondering was, how do I make a boot disk - and use it? I assume I would need one if going that route. Obviously I'm not very knowledgeable on these things.Or, if I do an upgrade to XP Professional from XP Home, will this totally replace the screwed up registry and it's associated virus? I'm toying with doing the upgrade if one of my sons doesn't cough up my XP Home CD. Thanks for any input here!Krooz
The XP Home and Pro CDs should be bootable. If you're going to upgrade from Home to Pro, and you want a clean slate, you can format through the CD services. I'd suggest doing a full format so you know you're getting rid of everything on that drive.3 more replies
Ok, I have a HP Pavilion 325c PC. Im getting a new PC case for it (doing a little modding..making it look kool ) Anyway, HP told me that the motherboard was definately compatible, but they said that the power supply inside the new case might not work (they weren't sure) Anyway, the power supply inside the new case is 400 Watts, while the power supply inside my current case is 200 Watts. So I don't have to call staples (they told me to call my nearest HP Reseller), can anyone on here tell me whether or not I can hook up a motherboard that was previously on a 200 Watt power supply to a 400 watt power supply. PLEASE HELP!..lol Thanx

I never heard of that brand, but it does have 38amps on the +12v rail which isnt bad and should run your stuff just fine. As far as how good its overload protection is ? Not sure. You get what you pay for when you buy a power supply and it isnt somthing that you should skimp on even on a budget system.
Cheap power supplies fail more often than more expensive quality ones. Usually when a cheapie blows you end up replacing way more than the power supply and you actually end up spending lots more then it would have cost you to spend a few extra bucks on a quality power supply.
hi there, i am lookin for a case that is big enough for 2 8800 ultras and has suitable cooling.
i am also looking for a psu that will run the two 8800 ultras in full 16x SLI
my budget is around £150 - $300 USD
any recomendation would be very nice!
I like this one,
I don't know if you can find it in the UK or not.
Since I am a computer nerd and I love messing with computers, I figured I want to modify my own case. But since this is going to be my fist time, I am gonna use an old Gateway case...from like...98-2000's. I've already started it last week cutting out an window on the side panel.
So, right now it looks like this.
Notice I've already put some pretty lights there. I got those for free from Radio shack last week.
This is the "skeleton" of the case with the system inside.
P2 400mhz
100mhz FSB
Floppy Disk Drive.
Very old simple system, but I'm not worried about the system, I want to make this case look modern and make it so it will fit in with other cases. Yes, It's messy, but I'm not done with it...I got all the parts from scratch and put it together with parts that actually work...
Now onto paint.
These are all the panels I'll need to paint. Black will be the color. Theme will be Black, Blue and White. Everything will be black, and on the right side of the case I'll spray paint a stencil on.
But here's a question for you guys. when I get newer parts and be able to build a better system, would I be able to fit my mother-board in there?
Here's a picture of the back.
I think that's an ATX. But I am not sure...please tell?
What kind of spray paint should I use? Regular Plastic/metal paint?
What kind of glass/plastic window shoul... Read more
Well for the plastic, id try Krylon Fusion spray paint you can buy it about anywhere it actually melts the plastic a bit and then bonds to it.. For the metal, you can use any spray paint but no matter what its not going to be the best lasting stuff and will chip or flake if you look at it funny, well not really but it isnt the best if you move your case around a lot. Just sand it first, get it rough then paint it, the paint will stick better.
As far as the window goes, plexi is the easiest to work with and cut. I suggest using pop rivets to secure it to the side panal but make some type of tension bracket that you can rivet to and at the same time hold the plexi in snug as if you try to rivet the plexi directly it wil crack.
Yes the case is a ATX case....
I know everyone has their own opinions about how things should be done. I'm hoping that getting yours will help me make my decision.
I'm going to be trying to build my first PC soon and I'm down to picking the PSU.
Originally, I was going to buy a Case/PSU combo, but now I'm not sure about it.
I've acquired an ATX PC that I could strip and use the case from.
1. Which would be a better way to go? I've heard some people say that PSU's that come pre-installed in cases are not so good.
2. If I were to purchase just the PSU and use the case that I have, would I need to look for anything special to make sure it would mount properly, or are the PSU's pretty universally mounted?
3. I've been looking at this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=17-153-006&depa=0
What are your thoughts and suggestions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I've also seen PSU's (as well as other components) sold as "OEM" and "Retail", what would the difference be?
Generally speaking PSU that comes with the case are of lower quality. Personally, I think its a personal preference.
Some reputable PSU manufacturers include Antec, Enermax and etc. You might be better off buying a PSU from them.
As long as its an ATX power supply, the power supply should be able to fit properly into any ATX case.

i have a gateway gt4016 desktop computer, xp pro operating system. i want to replace my case fan with a upgrade. one that has less noise and moves more air then the stock fan by gateway. the cpu is cooled by this fan in a passive setup so i want to be careful.any advice would be a help. thanks in advance.
From the information I can find on the Gateway GT4016 is that it is a uBTX form factor machine. Intel has discontinued further developement of BTX form factors.
Initially Intel had 2 BTX cooler modules, a Type 1 and a Type 2 and they were not interchangeable. Gateway MAY have used a proprietary cooling module for your machine, and you may be stuck with getting a replacement from Gateway.

I've went to my friend's place and checked his computer, which is on most of the day and it never gives out any hot air from the back nor does the case get hot :s
So any suggestions on what i should do? Is this bad or it's just normal?
Here's a link for your reading pleasure on 'case' cooling http://www.xoxide.com/computer-cooling.html you need to post a little more info on your 'system specs'
A friend of mine has the Dell Dimension 4550. He wants a new PC Case, its located at http://www.colorcases.com/Cases/enzo.htm . Can anyone tell me if the Motherboard in this PC is ATX or will it fit in that case above. Thanx. I e-mailed Dell but they wouldn't tell me because they don't "Promote Changing Your PC Case." Thanx all you people out there .

I'm building a new computer and don't know what kind of PSU to get, I found this one but I don't know if it suits my every need, http://tiny.cc/Raidmax530W. If possible I would like to stick with something found on newegg.com since I'm getting my whole computer from there. I'm also looking for a case, I would like it to look cool and have good ventilation (preferably under $75). I found this one http://tiny.cc/CoolerMasterCenturion but the reviews made me wonder how well it worked (even though 78% of the people gave it a 5/5). If anyone has knows of a cooler one that suits my needs and is still under $75 please let me know. Lastly I do not know which of the processors I have listed are better, I like the one on newegg because it has reviews and because it's on newegg. I don't know anything about the other one but it is a little cheaper so I was thinking the one on newegg might be better.

Hi guys, i'm back from my vacation, and at last I got my case half way trough my modding process. What did i do so far you ask? I removed all plastic parts, painted it in black, got the wires in order, and made a cool power switch. I still want to cover the side and front in Plexiglas & put on some fans .It's not much, but have a look...
Pic1 - full image of my desk ,the case is on the right (duh...)
Pic2 - a close up on the case
Pic3 - another close up, notice the innovative power on/off switch at the bottom right corner! Got that from an old Yugo
Thats a nice lookin paint job:approve:
While browsing, I have noticed the same procedure being reccomended for people with problems. Would it be a good iodeaa to download/install the programs mentioned on this forum and print the instructions so I'll have them if I need them? or at least download the zips to my backup external hard drive? HiJackThis! - Cleanup! - FindLop - Ewido - Bearshare - Ebates_MoeMoneyMaker, and the others mentioned. Would it be useful to run them & save the log for comparison, should a problem occur?
Malware is ever morphing & the tools we use are constantly updated. It doesnt make much sense to keep a copy around for a rainy day.
Let's look at it this way..
I have NOD32, Zone Alarm, Adware SE Pro, MVPS Host File & Spyware Blaster on my machine. I have never EVER been infected.
As long as you maintain your defences, the likelihood of getting infected is minimal.
Im buying a new computer I got everything but the case and proccessor. I want to know what the best case is for under $70? Im thinking about buying the raidmax 868 unless somone shows me somthing better....
You can check out www.newegg.com. It's possible to check every case sorted by price. I always like to just look at the cases with many reviews. I found myself a good $40 case that nearly everyone loved.
Struggling to find the right case for me, where can I find a case with:
Space for at least 5 Hard Drives
Space for at least 1 Optical Drive
Space for at least 1 ssd (optional since I currently use a converter)
Space to fit a HD Radeon 5970 / HD Radeon 7990
Space for large fans / cooling design
Very Heavy/average (optional - Not a downside)
I would recommend the CM Silencio 650, which is the most silent case I can think of, but it cant support the 310mm 7990. That means you need a full tower case. I think your best bet is the Fractal Design Define XL R2, which comes in grey and black. It has 10 HDD bays (SSDs just need a converter) and a optical drive bay. It is also soundproof, has filters for fans (dust proof), and can support up to 330mm cards with the drive bays intact.

I'm planning build up pc but I need recommendation about mid tower cases and p4 power supply units.Thank you.
If Antec were really smart they would sell the cases with or w/o psu, so you could buy the psu of your choice.
can someone be kind enough to tell how hard it is to upgrade a pc case to a more moden one is it going to be very hard to move guts from one to another
If your MB is of the newer kind (ATX) then it's easy and everything should slip right in. If you have an older computer then the MB might not fit. Just make sure that you ground yourself by touching something metal to discharge any static electricity that might have accumulated on your hands before you start the change over.
Hello, I got a new case today I took the motherboard out of the old one and put in the new one and the power supply I got with the case wouldn't work So I connected the old one and the CPU fan exhaust fan and PSU fan spin for a second than just stop and the Green Light on the mother board lights up for a second with the fans than it all just stops dead and I take the power cord out and put back in it does the exzact things (CPU fan exhaust fan and PSU fan spin for a second than just stop and the Green Light on the mother board lights up for a second)
Any advice I will use I just want my comp to work
Did you connect all the wires correctly? Including the power button? How about any extra power connectors?
Are you sure you put a screw in every standoff under the motherboard and there are no extra standoffs shorting some tracks under there?
Look at all the screws and make sure none of the heads are touching any tracks.
Take the mobo out and try running it without a case. You may have simply fried it with static
i want to replace my pc case with a more up to date one how hard is it going to be to take all the guts out of old one and set up in new one
please help
It depends. If you have an older computer a new case probably won't work nor the power supply (if it comes with one). New cases are ATX and you need an ATX motherboard. If you have an ATX MB now then the swap should be easy. Just make sure you ground yourself because static electricity can fry a CPU.
How do you find instructions on taking the HP Pavilion cases apart for cleaning and servicing? Each one is different and each one is equally difficult to puzzle apart.
Have you tried their site? I know I've had to go there to get a Compaq machine opened once
Should a case fan extract or blow air in/out of the case? does it matter?

I have a case that was bought about 6 months ago. How can I tell if it is usuable for a P4 mobo ?
The power supply within is a SUNTEK Model PW-300ATXA
If the case is for an ATX motherboard it should work fine. The only issue might be the power supply.
OK WELL i finished my pc case etc wired it up with the uv green sleeves now i need ideas and pics how to wrap all of these up together to look VERY neat so please help me with pics ideas thanks.
Well, we want to see IN the case! Under dark and sunlight, with and without cover, etc.
Hi, I have a Asus K8V-se motherboard, and i have a really borring dull case. i really want to get a new one, but i dont know anything about compatability with the motherboard and it. the cases ive been looking at are: ASPIRE X-Infinity ATXB6KLW-BK , and ASPIRE X-Dreamer II ATXB4KLW .
So I'm not really sure weather they will fit with my motherboard or anything so if you guys could help that would be great. and if they wont be compatible could u please give me some links to ones that i could get that have cool leds and a clear side, and a power supply.
That motherboard is an ATX so most cases will work just fine with it. The only thing you may have to change on the case is the back panel where the connectors are. The back panel plate usually comes with the motherboard so it doesn't matter which case you get.
What's the rest of your system like or do you just have the motherboard right now?
I have a new case coming in the mail Monday with a bigger power supply, is there any thing I need to be worried about when I change everything over, like power settings ???
Thanks guys.
shouldn't be, just as long as the main on the new power supply is set to 115 volts, but that is default so I doubt it would be different. The switch on the back of the power supply sets it for 115 or 230 something.
I have an ATX case with a 145w PSU,which I want to upgrade would this be sufficient to run a PIII 1000 Socket 370 processor

I?m looking for a computer case that is cheap (of course), provide good cooling, and quite (fan noise). My preferences:
-Price between $50-$70
-Mid-tower (no flip out ?front door? to access optical drives)
-Clear window on the side panel (be nice if It have a fan hole)
-1 120mm fan hole from the front that will blow air pass hard drive for cooling/intake
-1 120mm fan for exhaust in the back
-Easy install (use those no-tool type rail thingy)
-No need for PSU, I got one already.
I think I?m asking for too much here for the price so if you know another case that is a bit more or better let me know anyways. I like to see what other people are using. Thanks.
Well im hopefully getting this case soon http://www.extremepcs.co.uk/Itemdesc.asp?ic=561397&eq=&Tp=
Its probably available where ever you are in the world!!!
The current case I have for my computer is half-broken, so I want to buy another. My motherboard is a Via P4M800PRO-M478. What size of tower can I get? I know that it's a mid-tower atx case. My current case is on ebay (where I bought it from the exact auction):
I'm looking at this on eBay:
Most ATX cases are also set up to hold MicroATX boards (like yours), so your mobo should fit. However, that power supply is most likely of very low quality and should be replaced. According to the specs on the ebay page, it only puts out 18A on the 12v line, which is pretty low for a 450 watt psu. You can get a decent Fortron FCS from Newegg for around $35.
Hi guys,
I want to buy that motherboard
But i'm not sure which case to get and i think i might need an IO Plate aswell
I found that and it comes with a 450w PSU would this case be what i'm looking for?
And can anyone link me to an IO Plate for that motherboard?
"i think i might need an IO Plate as well"
Should be included. On the Ebay post click on Ask [Seller] A Question to find out for sure.
As to the power supply, for general computing it may be sufficiently adequate. For hard core gaming.....it may be lacking. There's more to a power supply than just it's wattage.
Again, I would ask seller for more information.
I'm building an entirley new computer but I'm stuck on which case I should get. Either the Rosewill R114A-SLV Silver Computer Case or the Antec Solution SLK1650B Black Computer Case . So which one should I get? personally I'm leanning more towards the Rosewill case. Thanks

I am wanting to get a new case so I can upgrade my graphics as my case is really small and cant support good graphics cards. I was initially gonna stick with my psu but its only 300 watts, Im getting a Corsair cx600. For my graphics card I might be getting a Gtx 670 or A MSI gtx 750ti. Can someone please suggest a case that can support my motherboard and is big enough to support a Gtx 670 or a MSI gtx 750 ti. Thank you, I will gladly give kudos.
@Reed71?, welcome to the forum. The video card slot on the motherboard is PCI Express x16 (Gen2.0). Both of the viedeo cards that you mentioned are PCI Express x16 (Gen3.0). Therefore, they are not compatible. HP has their motherboards made to their specs. Therefore, it is difficult to find a case that the stand-offs will match the holes in the motherboard. Also, some of the connectors in the case may not be compatible, such as, the power button. Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.1 more replies

NBA Power Rankings: Kobe Bryant and Players with the Best Footwork From Each TeamApril 1, 2011
NBA Power Rankings: Kobe Bryant and Players with the Best Footwork From Each Team
Good footwork is an essential part of every great basketball player's game.
Hands do the dribbling, passing and shooting, but you could argue that feet are just as important in this sport.
Sliding on defense, knowing how to pivot on either foot, using feet in fakes and jab steps, stepping back or jump stopping forward, and of course running and jumping are integral skills.
Here are the players with the best footwork from each NBA team...
30. Sacramento Kings, Marcus Thornton
He's only been with the Kings for 18 games, but Marcus Thornton may be the best player Sacramento's seen all year.
As a King, he's averaging around 22 points, five rebounds and three assists a game. Plus, he's shooting over 40 percent from three-point range.
In combination with his quickness, solid footwork has helped Thornton be extremely effective.
29. Toronto Raptors, Jose Calderon
Jose Calderon is one of the most underrated point guards in the NBA.
He's just barely under 10 points and nine assists a game, and that's on a team with almost no scoring options after Andrea Bargnani and DeMar DeRozan.
If he were on a team with better players to pass to, he could easily average double figures in assists.
His solid footwork helps him get into the lane, stop on a dime and find the open man.
28. Cleveland Cavaliers, Baron Davis
Tough to decide who to go with for this one. Great footwork is only partly natural. A lot of it has to be acquired through work and experience.
Davis certainly has the experience part. He's been in the league for 12 years now, and he uses a lot of veteran tricks that require good feet.
27. Detroit Pistons, Richard Hamilton
Like a lot of the other guys on this list, Hamilton's experience has certainly helped him hone his footwork.
He uses this skill whether he has the ball or not. He may have been in coach John Kuester's dog house for much of the year, but when he's on the court, he's a master of using off-ball screens.
26. Washington Wizards, Nick Young
Playing for the Wizards, Nick Young's numbers are pretty hollow (even I could drop 10 points a game on that roster).
But he does have a lot of talent and potential. He is great at getting to the spots he wants and creating shots with his footwork.
Plus, as a young player, that fundamental skill is going to get a lot better for him.
25. Philadelphia 76ers, Elton Brand
Elton Brand employs a lot of "old school" techniques when he has the ball, and those kind of techniques require great footwork.
At this point in his career, he has to be get things done with fundamentals over athleticism.
24. Memphis Grizzlies, Zach Randolph
Zach Randolph has to be one of the most underrated players in the league right now. Averaging 20 points and 12 rebounds a game, he's the biggest reason the Grizzlies are in the playoff picture right now.
His footwork helps him score in the post, and grab scores of rebounds on both ends of the floor.
23. Denver Nuggets, Arron Afflalo
This was a tough one to pick. There are several players on Denver's deep roster who share similar skill sets.
But taking everything into consideration (including defense), I though Afflalo had the best overall footwork.
22. Minnesota Timberwolves, Kevin Love
There's no doubt about this one. Kevin Love averages 15.4 rebounds a game. That insane number is due mostly to desire, but his great footwork is essential.
He knows right where to be on each miss, and how to get there. He knows how to control that space once he gets there too.
Plus, he can score too. He's averaging over 20 points a game and he has a few solid post moves.
21. Utah Jazz, Al Jefferson
Al Jefferson is an adept low post scorer with a decent amount of moves in his repertoire.
He also shows his great footwork in the rebounding department.
20. Orlando Magic, Jameer Nelson
Jameer Nelson is listed at 6'0" tall, but I have a hard time believing that (we all know plenty of basketball player's heights are exaggerated).
When you're that small, you need to have a little bag of tricks to help you get open.
Nelson's quickness and footwork help him to get into the lane and weave through defenders as well as about any point guard in the NBA.
19. Los Angeles Clippers, Eric Gordon
If Blake Griffin can add great footwork to his insane natural gifts, he'll be one of the most dominant players in the league. Right now, he's pretty raw.
His teammate Eric Gordon has done a lot to polish his game this year. His scoring average has surged to 23.2 points a game (up from 16.9 last year). And his assists have jumped from 3 to 4.4 a game.
Improvements in footwork have had a lot to do with his jump in production.
18. Charlotte Bobcats, Stephen Jackson
In many ways, Stephen Jackson fits the expression "crafty old vet".
He has a slow release on his shot, and is losing athleticism with each passing year, but he still finds ways to create space and get shots on the rim.
Solid footwork helps him create those openings.
17. Milwaukee Bucks, Andrew Bogut
Andrew Bogut is about as fundamentally sound as big men in the NBA get. He can score off a variety of post moves, pass, rebound and defend.
His great footwork helps him to be in the right position for all those things. It's particularly impressive when you consider he's a seven footer.
Footwork is harder to master when you're that big.
16. Indiana Pacers, Danny Granger
I wanted to go with my sentimental favorite player Tyler Hansbrough, but this one has be Danny Granger's.
He can set himself up for a jumpshot from all over the court. He can score in the post, from mid-range and from outside. His feet help him create the space he needs on his shots.
15. Miami Heat, Chris Bosh
LeBron James gets away with travelling more than anyone in the league (with the possible exception of Denver's Nene). So, he doesn't belong on here.
That leaves two options: Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Wade accomplishes a lot of what he does with his great athleticism, while Bosh is all about footwork and fundamentals.
He has plenty of moves in the low post and can create space for perimeter jump shots as well.
14. Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry
In just his second year in the league, Stephen Curry has become one of the most exciting point guards in the NBA.
He can score in so many different ways, and he's already left plenty of defenders looking foolish with his great footwork.
He's easily the best second-year player in the NBA and could be an All-Star in a few years.
13. Atlanta Hawks, Joe Johnson
Joe Johnson has the kind of game that will help him be creative well into his 30s (considering his massive new contract, Hawks fans are certainly hoping that's true).
He has a very methodical, calculated style. He's fairly similar to Paul Pierce in that way.
He uses his footwork to create space for shots and get past defenders.
12. Houston Rockets, Kevin Martin
Kevin Martin is one of the most natural and gifted scorers in the NBA. He's averaged over 20 points a game in each of the last five seasons (but never more than 16 shots a game).
His footwork helps him create space for jump shots, get past defenders and draw fouls (his real secret weapon).
11. Portland Trailblazers, LaMarcus Aldridge
LaMarcus Aldridge is the complete package on offense. He can score with ease out to 19 feet, and he has a bevy of old-school post moves inside.
His footwork is fantastic for a 6'11" player, and he displays it with or without the ball in his hands.
One of the best examples of this skill is how he rolls off defenders to get open for alley-oops (he leads the league in oop conversions).
10. Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk's footwork defies explanation.
He's seven feet tall, and at times looks fairly clunky on the court, but his feet always carry him to the exact spot on the floor that he wants.
With his back to the basket, he's as difficult to stop as anyone in the league.
9. New York Knicks, Amare Stoudemire
This one is a bit of a toss up between Amare and Carmelo Anthony. I went with Amare because he's bigger than Melo and great footwork is tougher to come by for 6'10" players.
He's shown nimble feet around the basket for years, but a few years ago he started to figure things out as far as 19-20 feet from the rim.
8. Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose has to be one of the most difficult defensive assignments in the league.
He's extremely fast and athletic, but his great footwork helps him stay under control (a lot of players with similar athleticism can't).
He'll likely win the NBA MVP this year, and his feet did a lot to carry him to this point.
7. New Jersey Nets, Deron Williams
It takes more than a great handle to be able to weave through defenders and get to the rim the way Deron Williams does. His feet are a big part of his ability to navigate tough situations.
Plus, he's got one of the nastiest step back jumpers in the game. He often sets up his shots with a nasty crossover that requires great footwork as well.
6. Oklahoma City Thunder, Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant's game is years (maybe even a decade) ahead of where most 22 year olds are.
His footwork is way too good for his age (with great attitude and work ethic, he has earned it though).
Nobody in the league is a more natural scorer than Durant, and his footwork has a lot to do with that.
5. New Orleans Hornets, Chris Paul
Statistically, he's having his worst season since 2007, but Chris Paul's footwork is still fantastic.
One of his greatest skills is his uncanny ability to change speeds in an instant. He lulls defenders to sleep and then blows by them with his very quick feet.
His great footwork have also helped him lead the league in steals for three out of his six years in the NBA.
4. Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash
Even at the ripe old age of 37, Steve Nash's nimble feet continue to help him baffle defenders.
No one breaks down a defense, gets to the lane and weaves through opponents as well as Nash does.
Plus, his great footwork also contributes to what is perhaps the best pull-up jumper in the NBA.
3. San Antonio Spurs, Tim Duncan
Tim Duncan's having the worst year of his career (at least according to numbers), but his recent absence is evidence of how important he is. The Spurs have really struggled without him.
He may be the most fundamentally sound player in the NBA today, and great footwork is certainly related to that.
2. Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce is among the very best in the league when it comes to footwork.
He gets right to the spot he wants on the floor and then knows how to pivot either way, get his defender off the ground, and raise up for his shot at the perfect moment.
1. Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant is one of the most committed athletes in the world. He does everything in his power to win and be the best he can.
He's applied that commitment to the development of the fundamentals of the game, which is why his footwork is so good.
He's a master of jab steps, step backs, jump stops, catch-and-shoot and has great feet on defense.

Welcome to Hyakkaou Academy, rich and arrogant bolid!
Why is Hyakkaou Academy different from your run-of-the-mill private schools?
It is a school where students are not evaluated by studies or sports, but through the social status they possess. This is because studies and extracurriculars are not necessary for people who are destined to have power over others. For them it is important to be well versed in tactics, reading an opponent, and the strength to grasp victory which are abilities they have to prove and obtain through gambling.
So yeah, you'll have to gamble your way through this. Not a problem for one like you, right?
But be careful. If you lose your status as human being, there might be no coming back.
Please read the rules carefully, and if you have any question regarding your role or the quirks of the game, PM me.

What do the early 19th century dyers of acid green fabrics and the Mad Hatter have in common? Mercury poisoning, and that's why acid greens are also called poison greens.
Acid greens may have yellow or black or dark brown motifs, or a combo.
I happen to love this color of fabric, but it can appear gaudy to contemporary eyes when placed next to the beautiful fondue printed plaids and serpentine chintz prints in mid-19th century quilts. It's easier on the eyes later in the century when placed next to jewel tone double pinks and dark browns and chocolates. (Did you see project Runway last week? They used Hershey chocolate products and premiums as their 'fabric" for the challenge. Great show! It will be re-run this Wed. before the new show if you missed it)
In fact, acid green prints with pink fabrics were a very popular two-color quilt combo in the 1880s. I have a robbing Peter to pay Paul quilt like this, and a scrap basket pieced blocks quilt in this combo with a rust madder brown for the scraps from this time period. Currently the scrap basket quilt is on a Victorian bed in a local museum, Carpinteria Historical Society Museum. RPtoPP is needing to get out more, he has been packed up for too long. I haven't ever taken him on a teaching trip, and I adopted him in 1993 or so.

Touba is the holy city of Mouridism. Aamadu Bàmba Mbàkke, Senegal's most famous Sufi, was more than a spiritual master; he had a social mission as well, that of rescuing society from colonial alienation and returning it to the "Straight Path" of Islam. The city of Touba played a major role in both these endeavors.
Life in Touba is dominated by Muslim practice and Islamic scholarship. A major annual pilgrimage, called the Grand Magal, attracts between one and two million people from all over Senegal and beyond, from as far away as Europe and America. Other, minor pilgrimages occur throughout the year.
For Mourides, Touba is a sacred place. Forbidden in the holy city are all illicit and frivolous pursuits, such as the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, the playing of games, music and dancing.
At the heart of the Mouride holy city lies its Great Mosque, purported to be one of the largest in Africa. Since its completion in 1963 it has been continuously enlarged and embellished. The mosque has five minarets and three large domes and is the place where Amadou Bamba, founder of the Mouride brotherhood, lies buried. The mosque's high central minaret, called Lamp Fall, is one of Senegal's most famous monuments. The name Lamp Fall is a reference to Sheikh Ibrahima Fall, one of Bamba's most influential disciples.
Every year, millions of Muslims from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Touba (Magal), worshipping at the mosque and honouring the memory of Sheikh Amadou Bamba. On one occasion during the pilgrimage, Mouride believers pray facing the Atlantic ocean, to commemorate Bamba's legendary prayer on the water.

Monday was spent….
looking out my window at this
eating things like this
and hanging out with cool people like this
I wished my Sunday hadn't been so lazy. It made for a very difficult day stuck inside. I would have happily laid around on the couch and watched a movie, but I did that the day before and a girl can only do so much laying around. Instead, I was left wishing I could be out and about shopping and drinking coffee. Oh well. I'm not going to complain about a work-free Monday.
Today was back to work. Sighhhh. Surprisingly, it was a very calm day. Not what you expect when you miss a day at a physician's office. People don't stop getting sick just because of snow. None the less, very calm.
I am thankful for my day today. Smooth as butta.
What are you thankful for today?

(Adds detail from results, press conference)
By Rodrigo Viga Gaier
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Petróleo Brasileiro SA's third-quarter profit missed analysts' forecasts for a big rise as the Brazilian state-controlled oil company blamed weak margins in refining and non-recurring charges for the lackluster result.
Petrobras posted a net profit of 266 million reais ($81.1 million) in the quarter compared with a profit of 316 million reais in the prior three months, far below the average consensus estimate of 3.21 billion reais compiled by Thomson Reuters.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization - a gauge of operational profit known as EBITDA - came in at $19.223 billion, just above the 19.094 billion in the prior quarter.
"The result was lower than what the market expected, but this was due to extraordinary items," Chief Executive Pedro Parente said at a news conference.
Petrobras executives said results were hit by a total of 2 billion reais in non-recurring charges in the quarter, including a 900 million real outlay linked to a tax renegotiation plan.
Weaker refining margins and a loss in market share for fuel sales also contributed, executives said.
Petrobras unveiled a plan in June to review fuel prices more frequently in a bid to regain market share it lost by keeping wholesale prices to retailers above global benchmarks.
The quarterly results painted a picture of a company that appears to be slowly turning around its balance sheet despite many headwinds.
Petrobras cut debt by 11 percent from 2016 to 279.237 billion reais ($85.15 billion) in the quarter, but remains the world's most indebted oil company, scarred by years of poor management, a deep slump in oil prices and a massive corruption scandal.
The company has promised to sell off $21 billion in assets this year and next but has been hamstrung by court decisions freezing asset sales.
Petrobras lowered its capital expenditure goal for the year to $16 billion from $17 billion and boasted positive free cash flow for the 10th consecutive quarter in the July to September period.
The oil giant snapped up three blocks in an auction last month for offshore areas in Brazil's coveted offshore pre-salt layer.
Executives said current extraction costs for pre-salt stood at $7 per barrel of oil equivalent and Petrobras CEO Pedro Parente touted a 196 meter oil column discovered in the Marlim field which he described as the best in the Campos basin.
Net revenue reached 71.822 billion reais, above consensus estimates for 67.123 billion reais.

Kumkani Lanner Hill Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Winemaker's Notes:
Vinification / oaking details: Fermented at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks for approximately 16 days. Kept on fine lees for two months. Viticultural details: The vineyard location seems tailor-made for flavor-intense grapes. The grapes grow in the Groenekloof region, near Darling. This area yields wines with an intense flavour and crispness not found in some of the more inland regions. Tasting notes: Expressive classic Sauvignon Blanc from a cool climate. Ripe gooseberry flavours, flinty and full-bodied with a lingering finish. Food suggestions: Enjoy with quality game, beef or lamb dishes and salad.
