Premiership Transfer Window Review - Part Two

david Walker continues his review of the January transfer window and how the moves will impact each teams success, or survival at the end of the 2005/06 season.

Everton
After spending the early part of the season facing a relegation battle the only reinforcements came in the form of Alan Stubbs, joining from Sunderland for his second spell at the club.

Two players have left the club Marcus Bent to Charlton and Per Kroldrup to Fiorentina. The Danish defender arrived in a 5 million switch from Udinese but returned to Italy for substantially less after making just one league appearance.

At 10 points clear, Everton look safe from the drop but you may be tempted by the 33/1 relegation odds.

Fulham
Fulham are battling against relegation and have made five new signings. Goalkeepers Tony Warner and Antti Niemi joined from Cardiff and Southampton respectively while New Zealand international Simon Elliott arrived from columbus Crew. Defender wayne Bridge and midfielder Michael Brown joined from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on loan.

Without an away win all season, Fulhams strength and key to survival lies in their form at Craven Cottage. 26 of the 29 points accumulated have come from home wins and manager Chris Coleman will need to keep up this momentum. Fulham can be backed at 14/1 for relegation.

Liverpool
Third in the table and a favourable draw in the Champions League has seen further recruits arrive at Anfield. Defender Jan Kromkamp arrived in a swap deal from Villarreal which saw Josemi return to Spain while Danish defender Daniel Agger cost 5.8 million from Brondby.

A host of fringe players left on loan deals but all transfers were eclipsed by the return of striker Robbie Fowler, five years after leaving Anfield. Fowler scored 120 goals in 236 Premiership matches for the Reds previously and with manchester United wobbling, Liverpool could eclipse them in second position. They are three points behind in third but have two games in hand. Rafa Benitezs side can be backed at 6/5 to win the Premiership in the without Chelsea market.

manchester City
Following a blistering start to the season, City are sitting comfortably in tenth position. manager Stuart Pearce will not stand for half measures and has motivated his side into three wins out of their last four matches, including a 3-1 derby win over bitter rivals united.

Pearce has boosted the ranks with the 6 million signing of Greek striker Georgios Samaras from Heerenveen after allowing Robbie Fowler to rejoin Liverpool and the loan capture of Espanyol midfielder Alberto Riera. Pearces managerial qualities have not gone unnoticed and he is quoted at 20/1 to succeed Sven Goran Eriksson as the next england boss.

manchester United
The former Premiership powerhouses have been exposed yet again this season as being nowhere near Chelsea in terms of results, consistency and strength in depth. However, the Glaziers sanctioned the arrivals of Spartak moscow defender Nemanja Vidic Spartak for 7 million and 5.5 million signing Patrice Evra.

A dire spell in europe has seen them with the Carling cup one of their only chances of silverware this season although Sir Alex Fergusons side are still 5/6 favourites for the Premiership without Chelsea. Strike duo Ruud van Nistelrooy is 5/6 and wayne Rooney 10/1 to top the Premiership scoring charts.

Middlesbrough
One of the pre season outsiders for a top four position, Middlesbrough are now staring relegation square in the face. Boro have won just once in their last 10 Premiership outings and that was away at rock bottom Sunderland.

No players arrived in January although Szilard Nemeth left for Strasbourg. One of the few bright spots, striker Yakubu, can be backed at 16/1 to top the Premiership goalscoring chart while speculative punters may fancy the 13/2 on offer of relegation.

Newcastle united
manager Graham Souness became the latest Premiership managerial casualty after recently losing five of their last six league matches. With just 36 wins in his 83 matches in charge the club are hovering six points above the drop zone.

Big money arrivals Michael Owen and Alberto Luque failied to ignite an expected charge for european football and former West Ham manager Glenn Roeder and Alan Shearer have taken over the reigns temporarily. Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is the 9/2 favourite to take over permanently and despite a poor run of form the Magpies remain 20/1 outsiders for relegation.

The third and final part of the review will look at transfers involving Portsmouth, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham united and Wigan Athletic.

Bluetooth Hearing Aids - What You Need To Know

bluetooth wireless technology allows wireless communication between electronic devices. bluetooth uses short-range wireless radio technology to connect devices to each other, generally within a distance of 30 ft. Newer devices may have ranges of over 100 ft. It eliminates the need for wires to be connected to all the devices, making it much easier to operate them.

Although bluetooth technology has been around for a while it is now becoming the new standard for most electronic devices. For those who wear hearing aids the technology provides the ability to use hands free devices along with the hearing aid. As most hearing aid users know, in the past, there have been compatibility issues with hearing aids and devices such as cell phone headsets and iPod ear piece. However, the latest technology incorporates bluetooth wireless technology into hearing aids, making them compatible with many bluetooth enabled devices.

bluetooth enabled hearing aids use this wireless technology twofold. bluetooth wireless technology allows for communication between two hearing aids. This helps to get the most natural hearing enhancement possible. The two hearing aids "talk" to each other to make instantaneous enhancements to improve hearing. Another exciting function of bluetooth enabled hearing aids is wireless connectivity with other bluetooth enabled devices such as cell phones and music players. This technology is a vast improvement over hearing aids in the past which were often incompatible with other devices.

Several leading manufacturers have developed bluetooth enabled hearing aids. Oticon's newest hearing aid range is called Epoq. It provides wireless binaural communication between the right and left hearing aids to make stereophonic sound more natural. Integrated bluetooth technology also enables the Epoq hearing aid to get mobile phone reception directly into it. This effectively eliminates the need for attached wires, which in the past was the only way to provide connectivity.

The Phonak's Smartlink uses integrated bluetooth technology to enable bi-directional digital link between the hearing aid and a bluetooth enabled cell phone. An external audio input or microphone signal can also be transmitted wirelessly via Smartlink to the hearing aid by attaching to the smart interface.

Starkey Laboratories offers the Eli hearing aid, which incorporates bluetooth technology allowing communication between hearing aid users, and the growing assortment of Bluetooth enabled devices such as a cell phone. The Eli is the smallest Bluetooth enabled hearing aid on the market.

Those who are shopping for their first hearing aid will do well by purchasing one with Bluetooth technology. No matter what your needs, Bluetooth technology is the wave of the future and will enable you to connect easily and wirelessly with many devices. All of the major hearing aid companies are developing their own hearing aids that utilize Bluetooth technology. Working with a hearing health care professional will ensure that you choose the hearing aid that is best for you and your specific hearing loss.

For people with hearing problems, getting quality hearing aids can open up a new world to them. Bluetooth hearing aids are becoming more discreet, fashionable and high tech, making them a good choice for the young and old.

Choosing A Video Game System: Which One Is Best For Kids?

In the old days, choosing a video game system for children wasn't all that hard. After all, parents didn't have to worry about games carried by systems like Atari (there was nothing threatening about Pac-man or Space Invaders). Today, however, with the proliferation of games with mature content available on games supported by the major system manufacturers, parents want to know which system carries the most kid-friendly games, ones that the young ones will enjoy and one that parents will not regret spending money on.

Let's start with the Sony PlayStation 2, the best-selling game console on the market today. There are literally thousands of titles available for this system, which cater to every age range. There are approximately 600 games for the ps2 that have the "E" rating, meaning that it is suitable for players ages six and above. However, many of these games are too complicated for young children to play. Games that children ten years old and above can enjoy are rated E10+, while those that are rated EC (Early Childhood) are of course, suitable for the very young. The ps2 carries about a dozen E10+ games, including movie-based titles like Shrek Super Slam for PlayStation 2 and Chicken Little. EC titles that little ones can enjoy include Dora the Explorer: Journey to the Purple planet, Eggo Mania and At the Races Presents Gallop Racer.

Nintendo's GameCube console continues to be popular because it carries titles that are popular with children. The Entertainment Software rating Board (ESRB) lists 263 video game titles rated E for the GameCube, and these include some of the most popular and beloved among the children of today and years past, such as Sega's Sonic GEMS Collection, Nintendo's own Mario Party 6 and Mario Tennis. The legend of Zelda series and several Pokemon titles are available exclusively on the GameCube as well.

Microsoft's xbox and xbox 360 video game consoles likewise have many, many titles that are rated E; the xbox with approximately 270 games and the xbox 360 with so far about a dozen -- but count on the number of xbox 360 titles to increase since it's a new release. Some games published by Microsoft exclusively for the xbox and the xbox 360 and which have the E rating are Astropop and Feeding Frenzy. However, remember that most game publishers release crossover titles, or games that are available on multiple platforms. For instance, Eidos Interactive's LEGO Star Wars (rated E) is available for the GameCube, ps2 and xbox; Activision's Madagascar (rated E10+) is available on the same platforms, while Global Star Software's Dora the Explorer (rated EC) is available on the ps2 and xbox, but not on the GameCube.

What about parental control options? Among the four systems, the xbox and the xbox 360 have the most efficient parental lock functions. Parents are able to set limits on the games and films to be played on the systems. If you set the system to play only E-rated games, kids won't be able to play DVD's or games that have Teen, Mature, or Adults Only ratings. The GameCube also has a parental lock feature, albeit a less effective one. Users note that all it does is tone down certain effects that might be troubling for children (for example, the amount of blood seen in games) but do not block the playing of games at all. It doesn't even screen or bleep offensive language. The parental control function of the PlayStation 2 is even worse -- it doesn't allow parents or anyone to restrict access to video games at all. The most parents can do is to set the ps2 to prevent their kids from watching dvd movies with inappropriate content.

When it comes to price, the GameCube comes out tops. Available for only $99, it's significantly cheaper than the PlayStation 2 and xbox, whose prices range from $150 to $199 (or more if bundled with game titles). The xbox 360, being the newest of the bunch, is the highest-priced. For $299, you get the system and a wired controller. For $399, you get a wireless controller, a headset that players can use to talk to other people online, a 20 GB hard drive that is loaded with game-related videos and music, and a remote.

Parents should go out and try each system personally as well as look at the different titles available for them before deciding which one to buy. Factors such as number and age of users at home, game title availability, and budget should also be considered. Each system has its own pros and cons, and families will differ in their preferences: some will be content with the limited but popular games of the GameCube; some might prefer the wider offering of the PlayStation 2 or the xbox; others might opt for the high-tech features of the xbox 360. But all things considered, making the right choice will provide hours of wholesome, fun, and worry-free entertainment for the little ones and for their parents as well.

Pre-Order Halo 3 - Get Your Copy of Fall's Hottest Video Game, Halo 3

The release date of September 25, 2007 is barely weeks away and the buzz on halo 3 is starting to heat up. If youre planning to get a copy of the new edition of the popular video game for your Xbox 360, youre going to have three different editions to choose from this time around.

microsoft has gone on something of a marketing frenzy for halo 3, coming up with two different limited editions for the release as well as a standard edition. They havent stopped there however as they are also releasing a halo 3 special edition of their Xbox 360 console, finished in the Spartan green and gold color combination, two special edition controllers and a wireless headset also skinned in green and gold. If youre planning to buy it all, youll need some deep pockets as the ultimate edition of the game -- the Legendary Edition -- will retail for $129.99 and the special edition console costs nearly $400.

Heres whats going to available later this month:

halo 3 Legendary Edition - This edition will be released in limited quantities and each one will be numbered, but I havent seen any word on how many copies there will actually be so its hard to say whether you need to order it as quickly as possible or can wait a bit. If you are planning on getting this edition, it might be better safe than sorry to pre-order it.

The Legendary Edition of halo 3 will come packaged inside a collectible Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI helmet case that is rather nifty looking and will look great on your desk or bookcase. In addition to the game, this edition also includes two other discs. The first showcases exclusive footage of the Bungie team and their behind the scenes process as they go about creating halo 3. This disc also includes an HD Making of halo 3 documentary as well as other featurettes on the design process. So its sort of like a dvd release with all the hot directors extras. In addition, theres the most unique aspect of the whole set -- an audio-visual calibration tool --which can be used to calibrate your home theater set-up to display the best audio and video for your game playing experience.

The second disc in the Legendary Edition includes the Bestiarum, a digital guide to the cultures, world and creatures of halo 3; remastered material from previous editions of halo featuring behind the scenes work at Bungie; exclusive Machinima content from the creators of "Red vs. blue" and "This Spartan Life; and a collection of storyboard art.

So if you are obsessed with halo and its creative team, the Legendary Edition is the edition for you. Next up is the Limited Edition.

halo 3 Limited Edition - This edition comes in a sleek metal case and includes the Bestiarum in a hard cover bound edition; a bonus behind the scenes disc, including the audio-visual calibration tool from the Legendary edition; storyboard art; and a special Halo fiction and art book.

Finally, there is the standard edition of halo 3 which just contains the game itself.

For my money, the best value option is the Limited Edition. At only 10 dollars more than the game-only release, it includes lots of great bonus materials that are well worth the extra 10 dollars spent. The Legendary Edition of the game is nearly double the price and the big difference between the two special editions is the Helmet case. Of course, if you really fancy the helmet, the Legendary edition is obviously the way to go, but if you could not care less, pick the Limited Edition and spend the extra $60 dollars on buying another game for your xbox 360.

Improve Your Swing Plane and Improve Your Golf Swing

We as golfers have heard the term swing plane many times during our golfing careers. But do we really know the definition of it and the bearing upon our golf swing?

Recently, I had a conversation with Dean Reinmuth (top 30 teaching pro ranked by Golf Digest) and I think he described swing plane the best. Dean suggests to think of the swing plane as an imaginary circle. The imaginary circle that represents the swing plane is set at an angle. It is the path on which it is necessary for the club to travel in order to execute the swing correctly.

Beginning at address, the clubhead and shaft should be positioned at the bottom of the swing plane. During takeaway into the backswing and at the transition point of the swing, the clubhead and shaft are to remain on the swing plane. These three phases of the swing represent the club traveling up the swing plane to top of it. Keep in mind the visual of the circle and the shaft of the club dissecting the shoulder during these phases of the swing.

Once the transition is complete, the downswing begins and the clubhead is moving down the swing plane. The path on which the club is traveling down should be the same as on the backswing.

Continuing on with the swing plane, the club is to travel to again the bottom of the swing plane for impact with the golf ball. Once impact has occurred with the golf ball the follow-through of the swing occurs, and it is still necessary for the club to travel upon the correct swing plane. This assures that you are releasing the golf club correctly.

The swing plane on the follow through is essentially a mirror image of it on the backswing. The golf club, again, must travel up an imaginary circle that dissects your front shoulder up into the finish position.

What does the swing plane represent?

The swing plane represents the path on which your golf club should travel upon during the swing.

Why is it so important for the golf club to travel upon the swing plane?

The golf club must travel upon the correct swing path in order to impact the golf ball correctly. Impacting the golf ball correctly provides the greatest possibility of delivering powerful, accurate, and consistent shots on the course of play.

Oftentimes the golf club does not travel upon the correct swing plane. What happens in such instances?

The path of the club becomes and outside to in move resulting in a slice, or an inside to out swing plane resulting in a hook. Overall, the clubs not traveling on the correct swing plane results in poor shots.

Now that we know what a proper swing plane is within the golf swing and we can visually create a picture of it, how do we develop the proper swing plane?

This is the hard part, and there are no secrets about it. Referring back to my conversation with Dean Reinmuth, he suggests that it is a process of creating feel for the proper swing plane. Creating feel is a process of knowing where the clubhead is on the swing plane. This allows you to know where your golf club is in regards to the proper swing plane required of the golf swing.

How do you go about creating feel within your golf swing?

It is a process of understanding the mechanics of swing and developing the proper swing mechanics within your golf swing.

This allows you to know what the golf club should be doing, where it should be during each phase of the swing, and when it is not where it should be when you are swinging the golf club.

Overall, it becomes a process of recognition. Recognition of what is the right and the wrong movements/positions within the golf swing. Once feel is developed within your swing, I would definitely say you are close to mastering the golf swing.

This does require time and effort on your part. But if you are willing to put in the time and effort, rewards on the course will be well documented.

Linux Training Tips - Boot Linux from a Linux Installation CD or a Linux Live CD to Learn Linux

You can get the free linux OS (operating system) running on a computer system by booting linux from a linux installation CD (or DVD) and installing linux. And you can also run linux by booting a system from a linux live CD / DVD.

Once you get linux running, you can learn how to use linux and get lots of great practical experience and hands-on linux training.

You can run commonly used linux software programs and also work at the linux command line and learn how to use linux commands - the way the real pros do linux system administration.

2 Reasons to Boot linux from CD / DVD So You Can Get linux Training

1. Boot linux from a linux installation CD / DVD.

In this case, you need to boot from a linux CD / DVD and run the linux installation routine to install the linux OS (operating system) on the hard disk in your computer system.

When you install linux, the linux OS and thousands of linux software programs are installed on your hard disk permanently (until you decide to remove linux or upgrade Linux).

After installing Linux, you boot Linux from the hard disk in your system. You don't need to boot linux from a CD or DVD in your CD / DVD drive.

linux Tips: There may be more than one linux CD / DVD required for a linux installation. If so, always use CD 1 (or DVD 1) to boot linux and run the linux installation routine.

2. Boot linux from a linux live CD / DVD

You boot linux from a linux "live" CD / DVD to run a "live" version of linux.

When you boot and run a linux live CD / DVD, the complete linux OS (including Linux software programs and a Linux desktop) runs from a single Linux live CD / DVD. This is a very fast, easy, and fun way to run Linux.

Linux Tips: If you have a DVD drive, rather than a CD drive, and want to buy a Linux live CD / DVD, buy the Linux live DVD instead of a live CD. A Linux live DVD holds about six times as much as a Linux live CD and you will usually get lots more Linux software programs on the live DVD version, as opposed to the live CD version.

Linux Tips: To get a Linux live DVD, look around the Internet a bit to see if there is a DVD version for the Linux distribution (version) you want. If you can find the Linux live DVD for the Linux distro you want, pay the small difference in price to get the live DVD rather than live CD.

When you boot a Linux live CD / DVD, the Linux live distribution on the CD / DVD runs temporarily, until the power is turned off.

To start Linux from a Linux live CD / DVD, you must always have the Linux live CD / DVD in the drive. Linux is not installed on the hard disk and so you do not boot from the hard disk.

Once you get Linux running, you can get easy Linux training by using Linux video tutorials. With this Linux training method, you can watch Linux in action, such as seeing how to use a Linux command, then pause the video tutorial and try the Linux command yourself!

Relieve Your Neck Pain with Yoga

Everyone gets a little stiff neck once in a while, and yoga can wipe away the pain with a few concentrated exercises. First, though, you must be certain the pain isn't related to something more serious than a simple stiff neck. Instead of yoga, see a doctor if any one of the following is true:

- You neck pain has persisted for more than three days, or it keeps coming back.

- Your neck pain is accompanied by dizziness or nausea.

- The pain seems to radiate down into your arms or legs.

- The pain began with a fall or accident.

If your stiff neck does NOT meet any of the above conditions, these simple yoga exercises can help increase your neck's flexibility and strengthen the neck muscles. By exercising you speed blood and needed nutrients to the area, easing the neck pain gradually. Try these:

Neck Stretches

Sitting cross-legged, tall and straight, and inhale eyes forward. Exhale, moving chin to chest. Repeat this breath five times, the fifth time holding chin to chest breathing three times through the nose. inhale, raising the head to center again. This time drop your right ear to your right shoulder during the exhale. Repeat this breath five times, the fifth time holding ear to shoulder for three breaths. Repeat this sequence with the left ear to left shoulder.

Half-Circle Rolls

Drop your chin to your chest. Slowly roll it up to your right shoulder, down to center, up to the left shoulder and down to center. Repeat this three to five times. Never roll the head in a full circle, as this can cause damage.

Shoulder Hunches

Hunch your shoulders up as high as you can, then relax them completely. Repeat five to six times. Next roll your shoulders in forward circles five to six times, then backward circles five to six times. Notice how relaxed your shoulders feel. Try this quick relaxation exercise any time you feel tension building.

Chest Expander

Stand with your feet together and your fingers interlaced behind your back. inhale while raising your hands behind your back, squeezing your shoulder blades together and tucking your tailbone under to keep from over-arching your back. Hold this position for three to four breaths, then lower your arms slowly during the next exhale.

Arm Lifts

Hold your arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the ground with palms facing each other but not touching. inhale while bringing them up next to your head. Exhale while you bring them down again. Repeat this four to eight times.

Press It

Place either palm on the back of your head. Simultaneously press the head and hand against each other for a count of ten. Move the palm to the forehead and repeat the pressing for another count of ten. Now place the right palm against the right side of your head and press head and hand together for a count of ten. Repeat with the left palm and left side of the head.

These yoga exercises are designed to relieve physical stress and related pain. The best pain relief is pain prevention, so be sure to watch your posture and set your workspace to avoid slouching.

Hush Mommy and Daddy - My Ears Are Open!

Dear Parents and guardians, if you could only hear what I hear your child repeating. I'm sure it was unconscious on your part when you first said what you said. But I'd like to say that little children are SPONGES. They absorb everything that you are saying, doing and putting out there.

The sad truth is that they are already beginning to believe harmful words, concepts, and thoughts. They begin coping with words, and thoughts they received from you. Do you want to hear what you, their teachers and others have been saying in your kid's ears?

You won't believe it!! From a four and half year old. I can't stop sucking my thumb because an invisible witch put a curse on me, that's why I can't STOP!! I stopped my children's yoga class to ask her who told her that? My daycare teacher. I then took the time to explain to this beautiful, bewildered, and now frightened little girl that there was no such thing as witches and she sucks her thumb because it feels comfortable. I explained once you don't want to suck your thumb anymore you'll stop.

From a four year old. What were you thinking!!? That was stupid!! When I asked her if she needed help with her knots in her shoe laces.

From a slim and beautiful four year old girl. I'm too fat already. I can't eat too much.

From another three and a half year old who said to another child when she wasn't going alone with his idea. Keep it up!! And I'm going to SMACK YOU from here to infinity!!

From a pair of brother and sister. Our Mom calls us DUMB. I asked them what does she say. That was a very dumb idea!! You're acting dumb!! I told each of them that they were not dumb and sometimes parents make mistakes.

From a tough and beautiful three year old boy as we were saying affirmations such as I love my mouth, I love my nose. He interrupted to tell me he doesn't like his nose because he thinks he has a BIG nose. I told him that everyone has a special and unique nose and that his nose was perfect and beautiful nose.

When I had a group of all girls --one said Hey guys. I think that this is misused and we need to bring in the thought of using the word girls even among ourselves, moms and friends.

Do you want to hear the favorite story of this beautiful four year old girl? The prince comes and rescues the little princess, so that they can get married, and she will be taken to his castle, where she will wait for him to return.

Here are a few humorous things too. When some of the children learned that my name is yoga Kat. They asked me yoga Kat, where is your tail

A petite beauty boldly announced that she has a boy! You mean a baby brother? No I have a boy. You mean a boyfriend? She giggled, squealed and nodded her head. How do you know he's your boyfriend? I asked. Her response without hesitation- I kiss him.

From a shy little girl who's hand I was holding when we were about to run in a circle. yoga Kat, you don't have to hold my hand because I can run as fast as cheetah. With that she proceeded to show me how fast she could run. And it was fast!!

The little children were encircling themselves with the puffy mats and saying they were building houses. But one little girl said, I'm building a garbage can!!

At the end of a class I was saying to each of the children You did a GOOD JOB. And I love YOU THIS MUCH. one of the little girls noticed that there was one girl who had already run to get her shoes before I made my statement. So she escorted me over to where the other girl was sitting and said to me Yoga Kat can you tell so and so that you love her too? With that I said, I love YOU THIS MUCH!!

So remember that you have small ears wide open moms and dads. Think about what you are going to say and about to transmit. It's understood that it's done unconsciously. This is a friendly reminder to become more conscious of your words for your children's sake.

Yoga Kat--aka Katheryn Hoban is a yoga teacher and Reiki Master Teacher with twelve years experience. She teaches children's yoga ages 3-6, and Adults privately in NJ. She is the author of the book -Masters of ConsciousnessA guide book for the Cosmic Traveler. She has created a children's affirmation CD (ages 3-6) and an affirmation CD for adults.

Xbox Mod Chips Turn Your Xbox Into The Ultimate Media Center

With many of the new video game systems having hit the market, most notably the XBox 360, which has been out for some time, but also the Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3, many gamers are left wondering what to do with their old systems. While the option to sell of our old game machines is certainly a valid one, it may not be the best thing to do for that old big black Xbox that you think is just taking up space on your entertainment unit.

Yes, we could be $50 or $100 dollars for the good old Xbox on ebay, it may be much wiser to spend just a little bit of money, and turn that Xbox into something much more than just an old game system that you may not want to use any more. I'm sure you've all heard of Xbox Mod Chips, so I'll only briefly describe what exactly they are. What I will say though, is that it's quite possibly the best $29.00 investment you can make for your Xbox.

An Xbox mod chip is a small, mass produced micro controller that you can install into your Xbox. An Xbox mod chip allows you to play all types of games, such as backup games (where you copy your original game, put it away for safe keeping, and use your backup instead) as well as import games. Xbox mod chips also allow you to use emulators on your Xbox to play old classic NES or SNES games, as well as thousands of arcade game too. Pretty much any old system you can think of, has an emulator made specifically for the Xbox, so you'll be able to play thousands of games.

However, there is also a little known (yet highly popular) extra function that xbox mod chips provide. Once you've installed your mod chip, you can swap out the standard Xbox hard drive with just about any size hard drive you can get your hands on. My Xbox has a 320 gig hard drive now, loaded with emulators and games, and a slew of homebrew applications. But the best part of it all, is something called the Xbox Media Center.

The Xbox Media Center is an add on that you can install onto your Xbox hard drive (even the regular 8 or 10 gig hard drives will do) that turns your Xbox console into a full blow DVD Player, DivX player, Mp3 Player, streaming video player, and so much more. In fact, it'll turn your Xbox into quite possibly the most advanced entertainment system available, all for a price of $0.00 - because you own the Xbox already.

With this simple installation (an Xbox Mod Chip is required) you'll have a region Free DVD player, a DivX movie player, a file manager, built in SNES emulators and NES Emulators, as well as Sega Genesis / Mega Drive emulators and various other tools.

If you have a larger hard drive installed, there is also a piece of software built in called DVD to Xbox. This very unique software allows you to insert your Xbox disc into your Xbox, and then select the COPY DVD to XBOX and it will actually transfer your entire DVD disc, to your hard drive. You can play the game from the hard drive just as you would from a regular DVD disc, without the excessive load times.

One of the features that I like the most, is the streaming audio. The streaming audio lets you stream any Shoutcast radio station, right to your Xbox (when connected to the internet), turning your Xbox in to a streaming radio station, playing the music or songs you want to hear, whenever you want to hear them. On top of that, you can also watch Google Video and YouTube videos right on your TV screen too, by streaming them live from the Internet.

It has also replaced my DVD player, as my movie player of choice. It's actually a region free dvd player, so you could watch movies from any region, but on top of that, it has full support for divX, Xvid, and any AVI, Mp3, or Mp4 files. You can quickly and easily use the built in media player even to display your latest digital photos, right from CD-R or DVD-R discs. This easily beats almost any media center or media add on, and is truly a must have for your Xbox.

And best of all, it's all free. With the exception of the Xbox Mod Chip you require for the Xbox itself, all of the above mentioned software and features are completely free. If you're not one to solder, or don't like soldering at all, there are also no solder Xbox Mod chips available, which make installation a breeze, and you'll be up and running in no time.

In closing. I would urge you to reconsider selling what may seem to you to be an old game system, and turn it into something completely new, and different. It'll be the best $50 - $100 dollars you never got, from selling it on ebay.

How Juice Dieting Can Help You Lose Weight

Let's do juicing! Just the mention of juicing and one conjures up visions of celebrity super bodies relaxing around the LA pool, soaking in the sun and sipping some colourful concoction through elegant, sometimes flashy straws.

Well however you prefer yours, I've got no problem, but juicing is here to stay - thankfully, at long last, it's taken its rightful place on the podium with the kings and queens of dieting.

There are many wonderful benefits to juice dieting. To be frank, it's the simplest, most convenient road into the invigorating lifestyle associated with a healthy, vibrant body. Your body belongs to you and its up to you to take control of its well being. We've been led along the path to ill health and sickness long enough and the giants of the food and drink conglomerates have only been too willing to take us there.

What to Expect From Your Juice diet
At the outset, juice diets are not to be mistaken for any other liquid diet. A diet based on fruit and vegetable juices is quit unlike a regular liquid diet. When you undertake a course of juice dieting your intake is set around consuming about 8 tall glasses, each of 12 ounces, of specially formulated juice per day. The super packed foods, which you will consume, are not the odd bottle of shop bought Tropicana from the local gas station on the way from a hard day at work.

Special formula Juice diet
For the juice diet to be successful you need to drink the expressly formulated juices which are obtainable online and in health food stores. These drinks are designed with the added vitamins and minerals your body needs in larger amounts than would be achievable with fresh fruit juices alone.

Once you embark on a correct fruit and vegetable diet you'll be amazed at just how you begin to feel. That feeling of wellness extends to greater levels of energy and a sense of complete vigour and this is a feeling that great many people have never before experienced, especially as you consider the act that the average diet consists of junk food that we have been fed since childhood.

Fresh fruit juices are, quite simply packed to the brim with minerals and essential vitamins, enzymes and photo nutrients, all waiting to find a resting place in your body. From the day you begin a serious fruit juice diet you need no longer think about measuring your recommended daily allowance of bottled vitamins and minerals. In fact you can cross these off your shopping list, thereby saving you money and time.

Rapid Results from a Fruit diet
In most cases your body will be able to tell the difference in just two short days. That's all that's needed to begin to feel a new person, even after decades of neglect.

Convenience
Don't forget the convenience factor - you can put away your pots and pans and just pull out that juice extractor and get juicing for a new you.

Juicing is the natural way to revitalise your body and I'm ever more convinced of this fact. Over the years family, friends, associates and colleges have all testified to the fact that they now feel years younger, more vitalised and energised than ever before. simply put, juicing is the most natural, convenient and delicious way of restoring the years the locust has eaten.

I wish you every blessing as you seek health and restoration, as you seek to take the initiative and live life to the full.

When it comes to the different sports that you can take up, golf is actually one of the most expensive sports you can take part in. You need to buy golf clubs, golf balls, correct clothing and then pay green fees whenever you play a round of golf. So finding a good source of golf equipment is going to be vital to help you get the most out of the game.

But before you start thinking that golf is too expensive for you even to consider, then just keep reading. There are many things you can do to still get a great deal of enjoyment out of the game without incurring all of the costs.

First lets look at golf clubs. These are the most important piece of golf equipment that you will need. After all, you cannot play if dont have them! There are actually many places you can purchase cheap golf clubs from. Take a look in your local newspaper as there are almost always people selling a set of clubs that they arent using anymore. this can be a great way of purchasing a great set of clubs for a very low amount.

The next thing you should do before joining a golf club is to practice on an open piece of ground. this is really important especially if you are just starting out. Sometimes golf looks appealing but when you actually realize how much walking you have to do, this can be surprising to many people. So get practicing for free as much as you can.

this is important to not only see if you like playing the game but it also gives you a good chance to improve your golf swing and putting. this will be vital when you start playing on a professional course. Not all green keepers or fellow golfers will be happy if you keep burying your club into the ground and missing the ball!

So practice first before you buy any expensive golf equipment or join a golf club. this will prevent you from spending any money that you really dont have to. Once you realize that golf is for you, then you can upgrade your clubs and get playing the great game!

Win At Video Poker Reviewed

You might be misled by people to believe about the existence of an easy quick guide to win at video parker. But the fact is no such way exists. Learn the strategies the traditional way in order to win at video poker. There is not much difference between poker played on table and that played online. The electronic poker has the same rules. A great recreational site I came across is http://www.cmminformation.com.

It entirely depends on the strategy and anyone be it a professional or an amateur has to learn them. These poker games are not like those nintendo games where in you sought for your opponents head to wag to beat them. These games are programmed and designed pretty robust and there are no easy tricks to win.

I dont say that winning is an impossibility at video poker. The winning strategies can be learnt just like any other version of this amazing card game. You only need to have a thorough knowledge of the strategies. Unfortunately, these are complex mathematical strategies.

The old gambling songs is true as it says you have to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run. You have an option to walk way while trying video poker. You never have to run but it all comes to the strategy about the thing.

The initial task to perform when you wish to win at video poker is the study of some basic mathematics. Yes, math. Trust me; a strong foundation in statistics can help you more than anything else in winning at poker. Regardless of you wishing to win at video poker or gain entry at the world Texas Hold em championship, its good to know the odds and conditions when to bet. Every single player around the table at a world Series of poker game is definitely a math maestro. You have to match them if you swish to win at video poker.
