Subject: Help with xbox connect, PLEASE HELP IT IS URGENT!

A wise man once saw a weed struggling to grow under a rock, one month later he returned to see the weed flourishing, only to put the rock back on top of the weed (dooming it), when his his advisors asked why he he simply exclaimed; "That was its fate."

Think.

I'm about to get xbox connect and I've got some questions:

1. is it free?

2. Which network is the most popular for halo1?

3. After being set up how do I basicly log in

4. for halo2 what if it is on a map you Don't have?

5. How bad is the lag?

6. is the community Skilled?

7. how do custom/unpopular playlists fit in?

I'm getting it in a couple days, and I want to be prepared. I am easily one of the most skilled players in history, and I've never really lost a match. because I've never played any videogame online/LAN before and have never played a big match. Since I am so good, I summon the greatest warrior available to challenge me as my first match. So if you are the best of the best of the best and are a man you will accept my challenge and I shall notify you when I get it, until then, bye.

1. is it free?

Yes

2. Which network is the most popular for halo1?

I only play on XBC so I can't say.

3. After being set up how do I basicly log in

Enter account name and password then login. You can choose for XBC to remember your info so you don't have to type it in again.

4. for halo2 what if it is on a map you Don't have?

It'll say you failed to load the map and then you can leave or wait for the host to change to a map you have.

5. How bad is the lag?

Depends on the game and the host's upload speed. Halo 1 is especially bad by design but Halo 2 plays alright but can get laggy with a bad host.

6. is the community Skilled?

There's always good and bad players in every community so I can't judge the whole.

7. how do custom/unpopular playlists fit in?

Everyone plays custom gametypes in XBC and you can leave if you don't like it.

Think.

There is an article on the website there somewhere and also, I admit I play against Average/medium players but legendary is kind of easy for me so I use that as a scale.

TORONTO — -blam!-, -blam!- and bi-blam!- teens in British Columbia are at a higher risk of becoming pregnant or causing a pregnancy than their hetero-blam!- peers, says a study released Tuesday.

The authors suggest the discrimination, -blam!- abuse and harassment that -blam!-, -blam!- and bi-blam!- teens face may prompt them to indulge in more -blam!-ly risky behaviour like having sex without using condoms, starting to have sex before the age of 14 or having multiple -blam!- partners.

Lead author Elizabeth Saewyc said that a succession of surveys since 1992 show that in general, all teens are becoming more -blam!-ly healthy and taking fewer risks than they did when the survey was first administered.

But there are still disturbing differences between -blam!-, -blam!- and bi-blam!- teens and their hetero-blam!- counterparts, she suggested.

"One of the challenges is that although teen pregnancy rates are declining, although some of the risky -blam!- behaviours are declining for all orientation groups, -blam!-, -blam!- and bi-blam!- teens still started at much higher rates than their hetero-blam!- teens," said Saewyc.

"There's still a gap. For us, that is a concern that there still is this gap between hetero-blam!- teens and -blam!-, -blam!- and bi-blam!- teens."

Saewyc is an associate professor in the school of nursing at the University of British Columbia and research director of the McCreary Centre Society. Her study, which was published in the Canadian Journal of Human -blam!-ity, was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

The findings are drawn from data compiled through the B.C. Adolescent Health Survey, administered every five or six years to between 15,000 and 30,000 Grade 7 to 12 students in schools across the province. Conducted by the McCreary Centre Society, the survey gathers information on a range of issues including nutrition, weapons in school and -blam!-ity.

This research article, which compares findings from the 1992, 1998 and 2003 surveys, showed girls who described themselves as bi-blam!- were nearly twice as likely as girls who said they were hetero-blam!- to have been pregnant. And in 2003 -blam!- teens were more than 2.5 times as likely to have been pregnant at least once.

Male teens who described themselves as bi-blam!- or -blam!- were between three and four times more likely than hetero-blam!- boys to have impregnated a girl in 2003 - which is actually a decline from earlier surveys.

Saewyc said it is a common misconception that -blam!- boys don't have sex with girls.

"We assume that -blam!- attraction, -blam!- behaviour and -blam!- identity are going to be 100 per cent consistent for people. And that's not the case. Especially not for teenagers," she said from Vancouver.

"So they may know who they're attracted to. They may identify. But they're not necessarily only going to be having sex with their same gender."

-blam!- and -blam!- teens may have sex with members of the opposite sex for a variety of reasons. Some do it to hide, to deflect the abuse that they see inflicted on -blam!-, -blam!- and bi-blam!- teens. They call it "camouflage."

"For some, it may be that they've been told that this is abnormal and wrong and they may think: 'Well, if I just have sex with enough opposite-gender people that will cure me,"' Saewyc said.

"And for some, it is camouflage. It's passing. For some, it's curiosity - 'Well, how do I know I'm really -blam!- until I've tried and decided no, I really don't like that?"'

David Wolfe, a clinical psychologist who has a chair in children's mental health at Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, said the way to address the elevated pregnancy rates among bi-blam!-, -blam!- and -blam!- teens is to find ways to stop making them feel so stigmatized.

"The take-away (message) to me is we have to normalize in our education of teens around such -blam!- orientation," Wolfe said in an interview from London, Ont. "It's much like racism and sexism has always been - it's still something that's permitted to continue in the schools."

He said there needs to be more openness in the education process about the fact that there are different -blam!- orientations.

"I'm not necessarily saying to normalize it by making Dick and Jane become Dick and Fred or something. But I think that in their health education, they have to understand the variability of human -blam!-ity. ..."

"Parents may look at it as saying that somehow we're endorsing this behaviour. ... But what it's really saying is that this is a reality. There are people there with different coloured skin. There are people there with different -blam!- orientation. And you don't try to meld them all together and pretend they don't exist ... and label them as somehow wrong."

"We are creating our own problems by creating problems for them," Wolfe insisted. "By not giving them a chance to have a voice in it. Then it becomes a bigger problem - and we blame them for it."

To play or not to play....

Xbox connect is not XBox Live. You basically run it on your computer and either have the computer connceted to your router or share the connection with your XBox as far as I know. At least that is how i did it when I used it in the past.

XbConnect lags to the hills but at least it lets you play LAN games online.
