Who knows? These "hot qb prospects" have been turning out most recently to be wash jobs. I've resigned from thinking any of these "draft experts" can accurately predict who'll be good and who won't. Unfortunately a lot of the time a qb's development sometimes rests on the kind of team/offense he gets drafted into - some enable them to grow and integrate into the nfl, others turn them into "what the hell were we thinking drafting him" investments.

  Eya sorry oh, we hear say the cowboy practice facility collapsed . . . I hope your luck during the reg season gets better. Or thou still has cast them permanently from your memory *cough cough* steelers fan?

Brad Miller is a Center how fast can he possibly be how many quick Centers are in the league or is it Kendrick Perkins you want? or do you prefer Dampier at least he is not a starter and can give you 12-15 points off the bench i mean Brad Miller and also rebound so what else do you want[/quote]hehe I like the way you tucked Dampier in there nice and slick I don't think Bawo will be biting on that fish anytime soon lol
btw when is his contract up?

I am not suprised, who were the people who fell for that "retirement" news conference in Feb. The dude has more drama than tnt and oxygen combined.

Their concentration has not wavered one bit and they have not shown any signs of weakening. Though the lakers beat them during the reg season, I think they are a much better and stronger team now.

Re: Why Do Some Christians Reject Gospel Hip Hop?

1. Becos they don't like hiphop music in general
2. Becos they are ignorant
3. Becos they have been poisoned and misled to believe all hiphop is evil

I remember I taught a seminar once to an audience of 60-70yr olds about gospel hiphop and most of them had the same misconceptions. I'm glad to say they weren't close minded and once they got a chance to listen to and see the lives of these musicians, they changed their minds.
@poster, I am heavily involved in gospel hiphop and can testify that God can and uses all kinds of music to bring glory to His name. One of my friends who's a rapper had this line in his song that said:

    For those o'yall who say God's not in hiphop/ who gave ya'll the right to put God in a box?

Image123:
Actually christian songs are supposed to be spiritual. This is because children of God are spiritual people. They do not please the flesh/carnal man or give occasion to the flesh. They try to LIVE in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit,not according to the course of this world Ephesians2v2. Spiritual songs minister more to the spirit/than the body.'unspiritual' songs please the flesh more. Of course we have different kinds of spiritual,so stick to godly spiritual as you should know that christians are not the only spiritual people.

Lol . . . so only the slow, boring hymns are "spiritual" enough to be acceptable unto God? I see you have not been exposed to quality spirit-filled gospel hiphop. If you are willing I will direct you to some annointed and inspiring musicians in gospel hiphop.

Any Crown - by Juanita Bynum

Any crown, I've ever won I lay it down
Any praise, I'll ever gain , I give it all to you
There is nothing in this world that can't compare

(You alone are worthy 2X)

You are near to those who call, upon your name
You ever giving and never loving, you remain the same
For you open up your hand, and satisfy

(Give you all the glory 2X)

You are worthy oh Lord
Of all honor
You are worthy to receive our praise
In your presence I live
And with all I have to give
I will worship


where's my dear Gamine?

We lost but we won, guess who's got momentum heading into game 2. Allen and Rondo each go 2-12 and we loose by 5? I am very much encouraged  if Ray Ray makes that last 3 we would be 1-0 . . . Orlando be very afraid

I am not suprised the Lakers lost, they've been sitting home bored for over a week and looked disjointed last night. I was impressed by the energy and effort Houston brought to the floor, they came to ball! very solid all around.

  How come no one is congratulating LeBron on his MVP nod? 

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3821719#msg3821719 date=1241472310]As for Los Mavs we made the cardinal mistake of trading baskets with the Nuggets only the Lakers can do that hopefully they learn their lesson and snag Game 2 at the Pepsi Center cos if we don't pick a game there it would be really be tough ahn ahn we are 0-5 against them already this losing sequence has to end sometime[/quote]lol . . . they were competitive for 3 quarters, it seems to me their concentration slipped and they allowed Denver to pull away. Denver is not unbeatable for the Mavs, they just hafta come ready to grind it for 48 mins.

Y'all should leave Chris Bosh alone he is coming to the Mavs by the power of Mark Cuban's dinheiro 

lol is that what you're hoping for? lol it can happen sha.

I am licking my lips at the Boston and Orlando series lets see how many people Rondo would K.O this time  but whatever he does he better steer clear of Dwight Howard's elbow or else Leon Powe and K.G would not be the only Celts out for the season

lol Rondo will show skip to ma lou what "street ball" is allabout    but I heard Alston got benched in favor of Reddick . . .  its about time he lived up to all that college hype anyways. We'll see.


Now what I'm looking forward to is Kobe vs. Artest and Battier vs Gasol/Odom and Yao vs. Bynum. Houston hasn't beat LA this yr but I hope for a competitive series.

bawomolo:
jamison is 30years old. the wizards aren't winning anytime soon. they would be smart to get rid of him and build around butler and arenas.

ooh really? for some reason I had him pegged for 26-27 my bad. If that be the case why would his coming to Chicago be a good thang? He won't be able to keep up with Rose for long lol

I think Chris Bosh is gone, except he stills want to get paid in canadian dollars . He would be decent in Chicago but i don't think he is tough enough. A no.2/3 option like Gasol.

Does his game even fit the Bulls style?

Propaganda obviously wrote that list.

While Nigeria def has its problems she doesn't deserve such low honors among the Irans and Sudans. Perhaps nigerians are unjustly prejudiced, and mostly in attitude alone, towards atheists but that is nowhere close to the stonings and beheadings and torturing taking place in the middle east & China.

I repeat propaganda wrote the list and Nigeria had probably offended him sometime last week.

bawomolo:
they would most likely give him up for contract reasons, the wizards are amassing lots of lottery picks. that means contracts are going to be coming up soon. Caron Butler and Gilbert "i don't deserve maximum money" arenas aren't cheaper either.

Lottery picks are overrated jor. Few teams make out great with their selection when its all said and done a year later. If I were running the organization, I'd stick with a player that's already a proven baller in the league not some prospect that might end up like Kwame Brown. Well unless of course washington wants to take a shot and "rebuild", I think they could be a good team, if only they can stay healthy.

But sha sweepstakes summer is coming up soon and if the economy is still like this, less rich teams just might be able to make out okay with quality veterans. What's ur take on Chris Bosh by the way? Think he'll still be Toronto next yr?

duduspace:
Fair enough, maybe when he reveals himself to me in a personal way then I'll agree with you. You can be sure however that one of the first things I'll tell him is that he's probably gotten weary and should step aside.

and it is my prayer that the God of heaven will open the eyes of your heart.
 

Maybe yu're right, but a lot of those who claim to have the spirit of God often act even more stupid than monkeys. A good example is the guy who challenged the lion at UI zoo to a wrestlemania bout.

You answered your own point. A famous saying goes, "Going to church doesn't make you a christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a cadillac". Anyone can claim anything, what we should be looking for are those who are walking the walk quietly helping and affecting peoples lives, without asking for and receiving no recognition for it.

Yep, I'm sure seeking for something aren't we all?

Yes we are that's the existential question of the day. It's inherent in all of us, the quest for something greater, something bigger than what the world tells us to settle for. The bigger question is will we let the world tell us what is truth? or will we search it for ourselves?

davidylan:
I think the problem is you dont really like it as much.
Tennis has tons of captivating stories that draw attention, millions of us are daily glued to the ATP site . . . there's always changes in the rankings every monday, news of exciting new talents mixing it up with the big boys, off-the-court fun . . .

You may be right. I used to be on the sites once upon a time myself and recieve daily e-blasts on what was going on . . . but it just seems to me that unless one is a die-hard fan (like thou) it is easy to loose intrest. It wasn't too long ago the "tennis is intresting again" thread was alive with fans.

Overall grade: Barely average
Food taste: Very average
Atmosphere: Okay
Decor & Appearance: Boring
Waiters: Good
Price: Expensive and def not worth it

Went last weekend, TSP is part of a chain of high end restaurants in Mass, but it def did not live up to any hype for me. Its a seafood restaurant but the menu somehow managed to be boring. I ended up ordering coconut shrimp in some funky sauce, minestrone soup, grilled chicken and potatoes. The only thing I liked was the soup. And at $20 - $45 bucks per entree it def was not worth it. The appearance was boring as hell. They had different kinds of fisher price toyish-looking 3D fish figures sitcking out from the wall along with framed pictures and information on the kind of fish and where it can be found . . . I came to eat, not for a biology/geography lesson. The waiters were polite but I will certainly not be going back.

*just back from a department meeting and peeps into the thread* Lol . . . this is way more entertaining than some boring mtg lol.

Sorry na.I wasn't saying dan-dan Assault 13th score is the best. I just agree a 100% with those who did, all of whom saw the movie. The thing is, you are absolutely certain MI's is the best score. You believe it should win,because, it is so obviously the most deserving nominee. But the thing is, others feel exactly as you do- for other nominees! They're all certain their choice is the best, and should win.We all think what we like is the greatest. Why do you think the Oscars issue upsets year after year after year when who we think should win does not win?(Though there are genuine Oscar bloopers and 'politickings' )
Where an individual's concerned, there's a best. Where many people are concerned, the best is whatever the majority decide it is. JS, no offence, but if you feel strongly about a thing,anything, and can do something about it,like vote, shoudn't you simply- do it?

Oh I don't care about the Lagos Nigeria thingie. That scene was just pure comedy for me. The movie has some flaws;and it's not half as good as the other X-Men titles.[/quote]Voting is overrated

bawomolo:
actually, his problem is shot selection and not chances. You know your shot selection is awful when you shoot a three on a fast break (started by you). Ben Gordon is a guy who has to realize he is a John Terry and not a Kobe. This team can only go far with derrick rose handling the ball (and not BG dribbling to no avail for 10 secs). Tyrus Thomas is a guy who realize disappointed. a Tyrus thomas and picks trade for Antwawn Jamison or Amare stoudamire would be great.

I like Amare, but I think the impact he can have on a team is exagerrated. What exactly has he done for the Suns lately? besides disappoint mostly? We have seen he can be a beast on offense but he has that disease called inconsistency. I know he's been injured but any player who will not play defense to save his life, especially for his size and build, cannot carry a team close to the shores of the promised land - just ask stuck-in-da-1st-round McGrady.

Rose needs solid veteran help who play both ends of the floor and bring effort every night. Amare is not the knight they are looking for. I think you'd be better off with giving up less for Jamison but don't think the wizards will be dumb enuff to let him waka easy.

true talk. in no time, you , jesoul, and chiogo would have derrick rose posters on your bedroom walls

Sorry, my wallspace only accomodates artwork of Picasso-esque quality, but I think my neighbors 7-yr old kid might be willing to take on such a poster, if I bribe her with enuff benjamins.

bawomolo:
Ben gordon's problem is that he tries too much to get fouls rather than making shots. he should have gone hard on that play

nice series though. i can't complain.

we need a tall guard that can play D.  It's time for BG to go somewhere else. 

i was impressed by Derrick Rose. that jump shot has improved over the season. More conditioning by Noah in the off season and he would be better

lol I thot I was the only one who remains unconvinced of Ben Gordon. He played well this series but the dude is skittish. However I'm not sure if the Bulls can do better this offseason hence why they might end up keeping him.

  I think the main reason he's played well is cos he's in a contract year  most players tend to do that, get paid then revert to their lazy usual behinds. Where has BG's hussle and clutch and effort been the past couple years Chicago has been struggling? the whole thing stinks to the high heavens of a set-up for a let-up - mark my words.

The Celtics are gonna get whacked by the magic.

People continue to underestimate the Celtics, we played 7games last yr in the first 2 rounds, though it was tougher this year but the Celtics are not going to get run over by Orlando, not by any stretch of the imagination.

  Infact this one is going to at least 6 games, and if the world is still spinning on 23.5 degrees, the men in green will get rewarded with the Cleveland match-up    Orlando does not have that killer instinct.

Bawo stoppit, Rondo is not going to be suspended. I heard David Stern called him this morning and congratulated him on his new found 'courage'

duduspace:
They don't do quite a good job of revealing God as I can think of a thousand and one ways God could have made himself known without all the controversies the bible and christianity has generated

He very well could have, but He didn't. From the scriptures we see a God that that has many sides, far too complex for the cords of our understanding to wrap around. This I believe is the problem rational people run into when trying to understand the bible and the God of the bible. The human just cannot understand God.

It will never ever make sense to you Dudu, until you realize that the bible's main purpose is not to be made sense of but to be believed and accepted by faith. There are many many things I still don't understand about the bible, but I accept and believe it by faith, because I believe in God and God reveals Himself to me in a personal way. This in turn makes me trust His word - the bible even though sometimes I don't understand it.

Putting the bible in the hands of a person without the spirit of God to reveal it is like placing a laptop in the hands of a monkey - it cannot comphrehend what it sees not matter how hard it tries.

Its not totally by choice but I couldn't leave the UK axis as moving to Canada would be too big a change for me at present (though[b] I still intend to experience a bit of the North American way of living due to my wanderlust[/b]) and the Simpson episode was definitely more than comedy. I can count off-hand up to 5 friends initially based in Ireland I know who have moved back to pakistan, Brazil and India or relocated to Australia. Besides, the polish euro immigrants are leaving in droves.

lol . . . people who are travelers are usually people who are seeking something they have not yet found. Are you such a soul my dear Dudu?
Australia I hear is the desire of a lotta people's hearts these days. Easy lifestyle, safe environment etc . . . I hope to visit someday soon.

toneyb:
Are lying, stealing and killing not also under the law? should Christians continue to lie, steal and kill because they are no longer under the law?

Yes they are. BUT those commands are repeated and taught everywhere in the NEW TESTAMENT hence they are still valid.

Are you going to answer why you don't follow the[b] other commands in the Law[/b]?
-why do you shave your beard?
-why do you work or do anything at all on the Sabbath?
-why do you wear clothing made of two kinds of material?
-why don't you offer sacrifices when you're unclean?

why only pick out the law about tatoos to follow?

Why only quote Lev 19:27-28? 
what about verses 1-26?
and Lev chapters 1-18? and chapters 19-27?

There are so many commands in Leviticus, why only pick out the one on tatoos to follow and quote?

We are no longer under the Law, but under grace.

duduspace:
Maybe because there is really nothing to understand or discern and its just some people trying to dominate or subjugate others (remember the Wizard of Oz?), I'm sure that you know so called higher knowledge and spiritual discernment is always the foundation of cults and fanaticsm

The beauty of the bible and christianity is that there is really only one very simple theme - to know God. Its not about wisdom and knowledge and dechiphering the hidden codes and mysteries of the universe- no. It is simply to know God and to walk with Him.

Ooops, need to update my profile I'm in Scotland at present trying to settle in after relocating and taking a break from my studies till september (hope to continue part-time as the credit crunch is biting hard). The Leprechauns are still getting into all types of mischief I guess, they prolly have to face the gloom of their country becoming a ghost of itself once again as there is some sort of mass emigration at the moment.

Scotland seems like an odd choice . . . but I guess odd is ur stlye . I remember one episode of the Simpsons where they were in Ireland and making fun of how the economy and life there had dwindled down . . . i guess it was more than just comedy huh? lol.

Essence of real beauty is simplicity of the looks without any artificialities

Body piercing - Hell No (both for men and women)

Ear rings - Hell No (for men)

Ear rings - Yes (for women)

Tattoos - Hell No (both for men and women)

Long Hair - Yes (for women most especially if natural)

Long Hair - Maybe Yes (for men if natural)

Oga Sys, I trust it should be no trouble to show the verses that enabled you to arrive at the above conclusions.


@Topic,
      The bible says that "not everything that is permissible is beneficial". Now while tatoos and piercings etc may not be a sin, usually they are not beneficial to the person. The bible teaches us to be modest and simple and not give anyone the chance to speak evil of us. In this light I would say it is better for a christian to avoid tatoos and piercings BUT are they sinful? No.

  I personally don't mind tatoos and piercings . . . when moderate not like the above ojujus and co that would be a metal-detectors' worst nightmare.
