The Higley defense intercepted six passes and the offense rushed for 314 yards as the Knights defeated Phoenix Washington 28-12 in a 4A nonregion game at Washington Friday night.
With less than four minutes left and Higley leading by nine points, the Rams pushed the ball inside the 5-yard line for a fourth-and-goal. Washington quarterback Jon Camacho lobbed a pass toward the back corner of the end zone, but Higley defensive back Erick Moon came down with the ball to give his team possession and essentially seal the game for the Knights.
"You're feeling down, they're driving down the field and a guy comes up and makes a big play like that — Erick has been making them for three weeks — it gives the whole momentum back to the offense," Higley quarterback Trey Gray said.
The Knights responded with a five-play, 75-yard scoring drive, capped by an 11-yard touchdown run by Gray. Higley got two rushing touchdowns from running back Taylor McArthur, who also made two interceptions.
"The defense worked really hard in practice this week and they stepped up," Gray said. "They gave us the momentum changes we needed tonight."
On Washington's first play from scrimmage, wide receiver Victor Gamiz hit receiver Bradley Leonard for a 43-yard end-around pass. On a fourth-down play later on the drive, Camacho hit Gamiz in the back corner of the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown.
Passing wasn't as easy after that, however. Camacho attempted 77 passes, completing 39 for 420 yards, but ended six drives with interceptions. Gray said he was intrigued by the idea of someday attempting 77 passes in a game.
"I'd love it, but we have a really solid ground game," Gray said. "Every quarterback would say yes to that (opportunity)."
Play was delayed for approximately 20 minutes in the fourth quarter as Washington receiver Trevor Johnson was injured on the sideline. Emergency personnel were called in to tend to Johnson, who was taken off the field on a stretcher in an ambulance. A Washington coach said the move was "precautionary."
Vitals: Higley (2-1) defeated Phoenix Washington (2-2) 28-12 in a 4A non-region game at Washington Friday night.
Highlight: Higley defensive back Erick Moon intercepted a pass in the end zone with less than four minutes left in the game.
Player of the game: Higley running back/defensive back Taylor McArthur ran for two touchdowns on offense, and intercepted two passes.
Key stat: Higley intercepted Washington quarterback Jon Camacho six times, including two in the end zone.

More reviews by dreamingofwaterfalls
Great nail polish. It is very shiny and opaque in one or two coats. The pink is an almost neon bright color. It's great for summer. The brush is very big and flat, but I found it very easy to use.

I love this pink color. It is a bright, but not quite neon Barbie pink with a slight blueish undertone. It's absolutely beautiful and is one of my favorite pinks. The bottle looks nice and elegant. The formula is great, not too thick and not thin and watery, very creamy and easy to apply. The brush is nice and flat, so you can easily just use a couple swipes and it will cover the entire nail. One coat is almost opaque, but I like to use two coats for a richer color. It doesn't take forever to dry either. I was able to get back to typing on a keyboard within 10 minutes. I really love this pink color and it wears pretty well. I usually change my polish once a week, so if it lasts a week, then I'm satisfied. I love the brush, formula, and color, so this is definitely a repurchase if I run out. I've never used Rimmel nail polish before, so I was pleasantly surprised at the great quality.
A great color for your next pedi. A bright pink - a happy color. I did notice the brush is pretty big. The manicurist told me it was OK to work with but if you are used to smaller brushes (like Essie's) this one might take some getting used to. Essie's Watermelon is still my favorite pedicure shade but this one is a close second and cheaper.
This is a really pretty bright pink color; it's not a neon though! It kind of reminds me of a Barbie pink. I love the brush on the Rimmel nail polishes because I think it makes it so easy to apply. If you like pinks, this is definitely a nice one!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very bright pink (not neon but close). These Rimmel polishes have really thick brushes that hold a lot of product. So, it is easy to pick up too much product. However, once you get the hang of it, this brush makes it really easy and smooth to apply nail polish.
I highly recommend Rimmel Lasting Finish PRO nail polishes....especially this color.

North park Optometrists offer advice
From MN150
The Importance Given by San Diego to Eye Health
Eye doctors in San Diego take an active role in eye health. The San Diego Country Optometric Society in cooperation with the California Optometric Society, aspires to campaign people consciousness concerning the need to undergo regular eye check-ups. Everyone can be affected with eye issues and a San Diego optometrist can aid diagnose these conditions in order to avoid additional complications from occurring.
Regular eye examination should start as early as the age of 6 months. With the accessible exams, issues like congenital eye illness and gross muscle function can be identified. You must know that the next developmental stage of the kid might be plagued by visual cues and the movement of eye motor coordination abilities. Afterwards, if the baby reached 3 years old, he/she has to go through tests concentrated on discovering amblyopia and strabismus not to mention, developmental testing. As the child grows older and he starts to go into school, bear in mind that an eye examination will be conducted and it would be ideal if he goes through asymptomatic screening once each and every couple of years. Yearly refraction is advised for correction.
As a person gets more mature, it is hugely possible that he develops presbyopia or a deterioration of vision because of the aging process. As arms getting longer to read through signal a lot more constant eye examinations, this is even an opportunity for a San Diego Optometrist to evaluate some other disorders. In addition, eye doctors in San Diego won't just examine the visual acuity of the particular person but they will also determine various other systemic disease that a person might have in order for them to treat it and prevent complications.
The chances of having degenerative eye issues rises as the individual gets more mature. Loss of vision is also a major component that might result in more rapid dementia. In addition, numerous eye ailments can only be identified by registered optometrists through eye exams because they appear to be asymptomatic in the beginning.
Glaucoma presents as increased strain in the eye. This illness could result in complete loss of vision. In America, more than 3 million individuals are being affected by Glaucoma. It can be determined by an extremely simple pressure examination as part of a regular check-up as supported by San Diego Optometrists.
Cataract is an opacification of the lens in the eye. Usually, the changes just like decrease in visual acuity and color perception are left unseen by the patient. You can avoid severe decreasing of visual input in your professional and also personal life by way of earlier detection.
Macular deterioration is an ailment because of aging process and this ailment results in blindness. Although no recognized treatment has been produced for this condition, studies aren't stopping to give light on the condition. Nonetheless, the process can be slowed with the assistance of numerous forms of treatment plan accessible. Routine eye examinations are significant to determine disorders like macular deterioration and lessen visual deficient whenever possible.
In fact, regular eye examinations can help identify other illnesses just like diabetes, high blood pressure as well as other neurological illnesses. Once it is determined, you will be recommendation to a healthcare professional capable of providing you the best treatment methods that you need. If it hadn't been for regular eye exam, these conditions will be left undetected and unattended.
Starting from the very first year of life and all through the individual's life, visual input portrays a significant role in promoting normal development and having a great quality of life. Eye doctors in San Diego have joined in assistance of providing the public consciousness required to ensure eye health. When you inquire any San Diego Optometrist, they would really inform you that it is suggested to undergo routine eye check up.

zMAX Micro-lubricant uses the fuel, oil and transmission fluids in your vehicle to reach internal metal components. zMAX does not replace ordinary oil. It goes beyond ordinary oil with its amazing micro-lubricating molecules that clean and penetrate areas ordinary oil can't reach. Can be used in gasoline or diesel engines, manual or automatic transmissions. Various test engine parts were used in the following photos to illustrate the point.
zMAX Protects Against Carbon and Deposit Build-up
Even in today's modern cars and aircraft engines, carbon and other unwanted deposits can build-up in the most critical areas of your engine. zMAX kept the exhaust guide on the right virtually carbon free and dimensionally correct, while the unprotected guide on the left shows significant carbon accumulation.
zMAX Reduces Wear on Vital Engine Parts
Carbon and deposit build-up can cause valve sticking and excessive valve stem and guide wear that can lead to loss of horsepower and reduced fuel economy. zMAX helps disperse carbon and clean deposit build-up.
After initial start-up, it can take an additional 45 to 120 seconds for oil to reach critical engine parts. Starting your engine is the major cause of engine wear. The piston (left) shows severe thrust side scoring which is common when zMAX is not used. The piston (right) shows less scoring on the thrust side using zMAX.
zMAX Product Testing
Over the past 50 years, hundreds of tests have been conducted on zMAX Micro-lubricant. Many have been consumer tests using the product in everyday, real-life situations. But the important tests are the industry test protocols conducted in our own laboratory and by independent labs around the country. The results of these tests show that zMAX soaks into metal; reduces friction; increases horsepower; dissipates engine heat; helps improve or restore gas mileage and reduce emissions in older cars, by virtue of reducing engine deposits; helps maintain gas mileage and emissions in newer cars, by virtue of reducing engine deposits; helps reduce engine wear on vital engine parts, by virtue of reducing engine deposits; and helps to extend engine life, by virtue of reducing engine deposits.
zMAX spent $4.5 million testing our product, for the FTC, to show zMAX works. The tests conducted on zMAX are based on accepted protocols as directed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM). zMAX requires a "soak in" period in order to achieve maximum benefit, therefore, when necessary, the protocols have been modified only to include a "soak in" period for zMAX. Oil-Chem has performed the following tests:
- SAE J1321 - designed to measure fuel economy changes of in-service vehicles.
- Auger Electron Spectroscopy - designed to measure the penetration of a material into a metal subsurface.
- Modified CRC L-38 - capable of measuring bearing, cylinder, piston and valve guide wear; horsepower; piston deposits; and oil deterioration.
- ASTM D4172 (Four Ball Method - Prevention of Wear) - designed to measure anti-wear properties of a lubricant.
- ASTM D5182 (Four Ball Method - Coefficient of Friction) - designed to measure the coefficient of friction of a lubricant.
- ASTM G99 (Pin on Disc Method) - designed to measure the coefficient of friction of a lubricant.
- ASTM D2174 (Block on Ring Test) - designed to measure the coefficient of friction of a lubricant.
- ASTM D1748 - designed to measure rust preventive properties of metal preservation.
- Modified Sequence VIII - capable of measuring bearing, cylinder, piston and valve guide wear; horsepower; piston deposits; oil deterioration, and fuel efficiency.
- TEOST MHT-4 Thermo-oxidation Engine Oil Simulation Test - designed to measure and emulate deposits that would occur in the piston and ring area of a modern engine.
- FTP 75 - designed to measure the emissions of a vehicle under normal city and suburban driving conditions.
- BAR 90 - designed to measure the in-use emissions level of vehicles for controlling air quality.
Here are several examples of how zMAX has operated on Dynamometers:
On our IRL Blueprint Racing Team with driver Jim Guthrie, we built our own Aurora V8 engines. The engines were built with zMAX in the assembly oil and was used in the motor oil on all Dyno runs.
We would conduct multiple full power runs with overnight cool down periods over a three day period. This gave zMAX time to soak into the metal and start working. After the third day, we were obtaining an additional 6 horsepower.
When at the track and after running the car for the day, we would bring the car into the pit and remove all the spark plugs.
We would then spray zMAX into each spark plug hole and bump the motor over so zMAX would coat the cylinder walls, pistons/rings and then let the metal cool overnight. The performance of zMAX in our race engines achieved better consistency over time.
Our engine performance maintained it's baseline to a very high degree throughout the complete race as evident from the engine leak down numbers which were shown to be consistent from pre- to post-race inspection.
These Hot & Cold procedures help massage zMAX into the metal so it's Micro-Lubrication action becomes effective.
On our Labeco Single Cylinder Engine Test Stand, multiple Sequence VIII test's without and with zMAX (A vs B comparison) were performed. Both protocols utilized a five day Pre-Soak-in period before the testing began.
The engine was operated for one hour followed by a six hour cool down period. The engine was then operated for one more hour at the end of the work day.
zMAX's ability to soak into and "Micro-Lubricate" metal provides better lubricated and cooler working surfaces. zMAX provides improved Valve and Piston/Ring-Cylinder Wall sealing which has a positive effect on better Combustion Chamber Performance.
Better Combustion Chamber Sealing has a direct effect on achieving better Horsepower, Torque and Improved Fuel Mileage with Lower Emissions.

I've made the Cooks Illustrated pie crust and it is chilling in the refrigerator. I'm making a double crust apple apricot pie. Do I pre bake the bottom crust? The Cooks Illustrated pie crust says to bake it but the recipe from Food and Wine seems to not call for pre baking.??????? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't pre bake a double crust fruit pie. Just make sure it sits a little lower than the middle of the oven. My pie is in the oven right now.. Nancy |
You can get away without prebaking your crust if you bake your pie in a ceramic pan (do NOT turn the temp back 25 degress as one normally does for pyrex), and bake on the lowest shelf in the oven. I find that works every time. You want the bottom of the pan to get hot (close to the bottom) and stay hot (ceramic/pyrex pan) so as to cook the bottom crust well. Another trick I use--I cover the edges of the pie with foil before it goes into the oven, rather than waiting until they're starting to brown. I find that by the time the pie is done, the edges are just perfect, too. |
For a double crust fruit pie, I use a glass or pottery pie dish and turn the oven down to 325 without opening the door,,,put the pie in the bottom 1`/3 of the oven and start at 425 for 20 minutes, then turn to 325 without opening the door and bake another 25 minutes. |

Videos: Fox31 denies marijuana activist's claim that THC driving story was rigged
Update: Yesterday afternoon, after we shared an activist Max Montrose's claim that a Fox31 report on driving under the influence of THC was rigged (see our previous coverage below), the station released a 1,600-word response denying the claim. Reporter Mark Meredith insists the driving simulator wasn't rigged, and says the station's conclusions largely match Montrose's.Videos below.
"Our story concluded that the state standard of Delta 9 concentration was not an accurate or objective way to test whether someone was too high to drive," notes the piece, credited to Meredith, Will C. Holden and Thomas Hendrick. "That is exactly what Montrose has stated his own YouTube report was hoping to prove.
"Since he appears confused about the findings of our report and intent on spreading gross inaccuracies about the way our study was conducted, we feel compelled to respond to his hidden camera video," the response adds.
The piece's authors insist that Montrose's words weren't edited to make him sound like he was advocating for driving stoned. They say that because "the overwhelming majority" of the population wouldn't condone driving under the influence, they felt it wasn't important to include Montrose's opinion on the matter." To that end," they write, "we determined the omitted portions of the interviews were redundant and simply stated the obvious, and thus they were left out of the report."Max Montrose in a photo from the medicalmarijuana.tv website.
The respondents also deny that the simulator was rigged, explaining that it gauges reaction time and is not meant to mimic "everyday driving." They also point out that the test was run by a third party with no affiliation to the news agency. As for the Fox31 camera guy in the story saying the test was "ridiculous"? Well, he's entitled to his opinion, they say. But his view was based on a quick joy ride, not an actual simulation, they maintain.
Most important, Meredith, Holden and Hendrick disagree with the premise that the news report somehow supported the 5-nanogram limit. At no point do they ever reach a conclusion other than that the evidence is questionable at best, they maintain. "If anything, a complete viewing of our story calls into question the fairness of the previously proposed Colorado statute that sets an arbitrary 5 nanogram limit," they write.
Continue for the complete Fox31 response to Montrose's claims, including a minute by minute breakdown.

The latest Commodity Companion from the team at RBS has recently been released. This is a hefty tome, redolent with figures and forecasts, covers not only the base and precious metals, but important steel components and the major elements of the energy complex. The study highlights how many commodities in 2010 enjoyed their strongest consumption growth in decades as a result of the synchronised recovery in world growth. Driven further by "acute investor attention", prices of many commodities hit records, giving many producers high operating volumes and strong cash positions; the expectation is that many commodities will enjoy robust growth in supply from now through to 2014.
This supply surge, coupled with the unhappy turn of events in the world so far this year, will lead commodity prices to consolidate this year and next, before renewed gains in 2013. On a view through to 2014, the bank favours aluminium, copper, platinum and palladium, while arguing that "gold, silver, coal and iron ore are now richly priced and set to fade". Overall, over this period, RBS is neutral with respect to gold, and the "least preferred" are the bulk commodities, crude oil, and silver.
The view differs slightly on a one-year view, and while the PGMs remain in favour, the base metal outlook is mixed, with aluminium and copper ranking the highest. Silver is the least preferred metal.
A brief summary of some of the fundamental analysis:
Aluminium is viewed as having an attractive risk:reward profile, and although the price has been trading at more than two-year highs, RBS forecasts that this metal still offers one of the most attractive risk:reward commodity plays. Demand is at a record of more than 41M tonnes, following a frenetic 20% growth in demand in 2010. This is distorted by the ravages of 2008 and more particularly 2009, however; the average rate of growth in demand from 2007-2010 inclusive was much more moderate, at 2.6% per annum. This rate of growth almost trebles, however, from 2010 through to 2014 and RBS notes that the market is realising that the worst of aluminium's troubles may now be abating, with massive supply surpluses at last diminishing, with prices likely to hit a cycle peak in 2013.
Copper is described as a "producer' paradise", a great market, but richly priced. Here, too, demand was at a record in 2010 at almost 19M tonnes. This was a 9% year-on-year growth, although annual growth from 2007-2010 inclusive was only just over 1%. RBS is looking for annual average growth in demand of over 4% from 2010 to 2014 and with a constrained supply profile stemming from a range of different factors, the market is likely to be subject to "inventory-draining" deficits before some relief in 2014. With a massive price differential between aluminium and copper, RBS describes how "copper rationing and demand destruction" is underway. Here, too, the price is expected to peak in 2013.
On the other side of the coin, RBS describes the start-up of the "Big Five" nickel producers (plus many smaller operations), projecting that in 2010-2011 the metal faces the biggest supply growth in decades, as the heavy cutbacks of 2008/09 are reversed. Refined nickel production in 2010 is estimated at almost the same level as 2007 – but from now onwards the rate of growth is substantial. On the demand side stainless steel, which accounts for 65% of refined nickel demand (and which is subject to wide swings in growth, due in part to stocking and de-stocking cycles), rebounded strongly in 2010. Growth in 2011 is expected to be more modest, although on a four-year view, the average rate of growth in nickel consumption is expected to exceed 5% per annum.
Zinc, meanwhile, is described as having a strong price but weak fundamentals. It remains the bank's least preferred base metal, with high inventories likely to be swollen again this year and next, and with the market not moving into deficit until 12013. The longer-term outlook, however, is much more encouraging as ore exhaustion at some key mines will constrain the mine production growth rate to only just over 3% per annum from 2010 to 2014. Refined consumption will grow at more than twice this rate, but from a lower base than production in a market that has been in surplus since at least 2007. That said, inventory levels were very low in 2007 and had recovered to more manageable levels by 2010. RBS notes that zinc's swing from surplus to deficit may occur rapidly but the implication behind the current supply-demand mis-match is that genuine tightness is unlikely before 2014.
RBS' study avers that "handsome operating margins bring into focus the next stage of the cycle- the supply response" involving producer intention, by assorted means, to "pump up the volume". The supply-side patterns of the next few years will indeed be interesting to watch.

Kevin Garnett is a huge jerk who no one likes and no one outside of Boston wants to do well. He's the meanest guy in the NBA and everyone is happy when struggles befall him. He needs to chill out and everyone knows it. These are commonly held beliefs, even if they might be a little overblown and we're the ones that need to chill out.
But there's one thing that's for sure, he's not faking it. Just ask Doc Rivers. From ESPN:
"I thought it was an act," Rivers admitted. "I'm thinking, 'No way.' But then he came here and I realized, 'Oh my gosh, this is for real.' And the first thing I thought was, 'This is going to be great for our basketball team.'"
Yep, seems real. A little too real, actually. "No one man should have all that intensity." — Wanye Kest
But really, this isn't that surprising. Of course, Kevin Garnett is the most intense man in the world — new Dos Equis campaign, if they want to pay for the idea — it's what makes him so good at defense, which in turn makes him really good at basketball, which in turn makes the Celtics a championship contender. It's a dominoes thing, and Kevin Garnett's intensity is the nerdy guy who really wants to be on "America's Funniest Home Videos."
Besides, this is good news. Imagine how scary Kevin Garnett would be if all that stuff was acting.

Why does my Laptop Vista (IE 9,0) freeze every once in awhile? I disk clean, defrag, scan , Malwarebytes anti malware, CCleaner, ATF Cleaner exe., clean cookies, etc. weekly. I do notice when I visit sites that are very popular, i.e., American Idol ......it only freezes when I visit these popular sites. What I do is shut down my computer and start up again. Any suggestions.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
It may be something as simple as at that time the demand for the site's streaming is greater than its capability. DA |
damccoy...I think you hit it right on.....I think the site's streaming is greater than it capability too. It only happens when I visit very popular sites that are in the news... Thanks for clearing up this matter with me. I appreciate it. |
Are you hooked up to your router via cable or wireless..depending on how fast your internet connection is could be another factor with the live streaming..refreshing the Page sometimes helps |
Genes....I am hooked up to wireless network connection...cable Linksys WRT54G. When I go to the site...it freezes and keeps the whole page or site in view, but my mouse cannot do anything....and when I go to the x to escape the site it beeps but doesn't let me do anything. So I have to shut down and start up again....it does not happen often only when I go to a busy site...in my opinion. I am unable to refresh the site.! |
Have you tried this site with different browsers to see if the problem persists |
Try FF or Chrome..it might make a diff |
The F5 key on your keyboard will refresh the page too. I get that a lot when I play Zynga games. |
Thanks pkponder....I will try it the next time it happens. F5 |
Have you tried another browser on those sites to see if it still freezes |
Since no one else has suggested heat I will do so. How long since you have cleaned out the vents around the cooling fan? Heat may be causing the freeze due to the processor quitting to protect it from frying. All processors are protected in this way to avoid costly repairs. Here is a 2 minute video showing you how to do the task. The other point is making sure the vents are clear during use, no resting it on a thick tablecloth. No resting that side on thick clothing if the computer is on your lap. |
owbist.....I do clean my Laptop and it is raised on the desk (My husband made me something) and it is never on my lap... I have tried another browser....and I disabled AUDIO_MP3 Moniker (Microsoft Corporation )from my add-ons... It has been three days and it has not froze...I am keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again to all the posters who advised me...I appreciate it very much. I will keep you posted. |

I got this game back in December and have played it a handful of times with friends. Being a huge GoW fan I love the game, but the difficulty seems insanely high.
In all the time since I've had the game my friends and I have never managed to beat a level besides the first one (and only once at that) or a few waves of horde.
We've never been able to beat any other levers. It always seems to follow this pattern. Doing ok… doing good… we're gunna win… boom destroyed…
Are we just terrible? Any tips?

I was playin UT today, and switching between team players, in CTF. I had a thought, what if instead of a full screen view, you had a picture in picture window. That way you could view what ever team player all the time. (If perhaps you didnt like the picture in picture, the opition could be added to the HUD. Also it could auto switch when you one of your team players gets the enemy flag. This way you would always know where to go, alot easier. This idea I feel would help those Gung Ho players play more like a team player then rambo style. And I would more then improve UT team play on any level. Well let me know what you think, could this be possible. Or are the opitions limited in the programing of UT.... Its an idea I hold we could type about.

That would be a neat idea, but only usable for people with higher end systems that could support 2 pictures at once. Mine has a hard time showing me MY screen.

I think that's a great idea, but yea, there are obvious performance issues to deal with. If you can keep the LOD low enough on the PiP window, while still maintaining some level of clarity, it would be ok. Sorta like when you play with your weapon hidden, the game speeds up (not noticably though), so I'm not sure what kind of performance hit a "window" like that would make. Just not sure if UT has the capability to render two screens at once, would be cool though. However, this really shouldn't be any different then when UT renders a monitor screen displaying another location in the map. Jeff

I don't think it would be as much of a system resource hog, but I do think it would take away quite a bit of much-needed connection bandwidth. Most players are still stuck with 56k, and we lag enough as it is. Ya might think "Oh, a 375 ping isn't so bad"... but that's 375ms... which is over a THIRD of a second. And when ppl are running around and you're trying to get sniper bullets to hit on target, it DOES matter .
The other "problem" with that idea is it isn't really very realistic. You can't see a 3rd person picture of teammates in real life. But then again - it is a game...hehehe. It is a very interesting idea - I agree it would make very reactive and competitive teamplay. I like the idea, and would also be interested to see if it could be done.

As a variation, I would suggest this:
Instead of a PiP view, the hud would display an overhead view of the map - it could even be as simple as a retangular box, but would probably be more usable if it had a very basic, line-drawing-type representation of the map. Your base would be on the left, the enemy on the right. This display could show just your teammates, with your flag carrier highlighted (or not...) You could have various options (a powerup to show you the enemy players? Or just the enemy flag carrier? Now wouldn't that be handy when your 1/2 across the map and your flag gets swiped - lot easier to tell where the thief is...) Definitely has some possibilities... Too bad I don't know enough UT code to say if it's even feasible

Well, the overhead view offers almost too much information. That's borderline to having a spec in the match to tell you where your flag is. Half the fun of being a FC is losing the enemy on your way out using a complicated exit path. Also, if you've ever viewed an indoor map like Coret in UnrealEd from far above in the 3D view, it doesn't look very attractive. Something that sorta popped in my head that would be kinda cool, is if you had an item like the xloc that would shoot out a device and would then put you into a view like the redeemer as you fly it around the map. You could then leave it any place you wanted and go back and see the view any time later on in the map (like a hidden camera that you could put anywhere, like near your flag, or in the enemy base). And if it's destroyed by an enemy while you're viewing from it or moving it around, or if you try to go and view from it after it's already been destroyed, it would kill you (I guess a shock or something). There would have to be some reason for caution or ppl would use it too much. With some Uscript, you could probably create an actor that utilized aspects of the spectator view, along with some properties of the xloc, to get it done. I don't really see something like this being a standalone mod/mutator, but more an integral part of a larger mod with a stealth based them. Your thoughts? Jeff

Now there are some ideas I didnt think of. Never thought about above view, or the other ideas everyone has come up with so far. But I would have to agree on the fact that the overhead view, showing everyone including the enemy when the grab your flag. I think it would be just fine with only seeing just your team. That way it still lets your enemy escape. There is still the thing that while watching a team mate, that comes across they enemy. Well now you know where they are. But that still depends on who your watching. So there is still a chance to escape, Just pray no one is watching the little screen. .... As fo the other ideas, I think the opition of switching between whatever you want would be good. So that way you can pick whatever view you want. The monitor thing I new about, and that does work. Put on the consumer end not everyone is ganna go buy a new or used monitor just for another view. With the HUD opition for the PiP, you dont have to buy a monitor. That and since its less costly on the buy. More might play that way. It would just make it more fun for me I think, and possible others. You would still always have the opition of not picking any screen. But at least now you could have that opition. Put then again... THE BIG QUESTION STILL REMAINS. Can it be done?

P.s. One more thing, the bandwidth issue. I dont think it would take up any more bandwidth then your using. Since your PC is already in sync with the game. Your PC knows where every other PC is in the game. SO Im not to sure if it would take up anymore bandwidth...Like if it were another game going on on the same screen. Its actually I feel the same game still. So bandwidth I dont think would be problem. But then again I could be wrong...

Let's take this one more step.
Let's assume that there is a team captain. The team captain could switch between the "map" view of HIS team (and possibly any enemy players that his team can see at that moment) or the view of one of his team mates. The non-captain team members could select one other team mates view at a time or, by configuration, not be allowed a pip at all. And you are correct, this would be like having a spec or sorts in the game. But A spec that can only see what his team can see. That is, a spec without his own camera and restricted to one team only. Frankly, that might be another idea. A derived class of spectator that does not have his own camera and that is restricted to view from only one teams perspective. This would allow for a very functional team captain. (I know this wasnt the original idea. But it is interesting. Someone that can see the overall situation and coordinate the team).

1. The little hud idea has been done before. It was the translocator cam. It's pretty simple to do since all you're doing is opening another window with your teamview in it. If it's small enough it should have very little impact on performance.
2. Your "LAG" is not impacted by rendering. It's impacted by your connection. As long as your system can handle rendering the extra polygons you shouldn't have any lag. 3. Overhead maps?? Not to sound rude or anything but why don't we just copy the entire tribes setup altogether...Serioulsy though, this idea is a little more complex. I'm assuming you'd want a 2d rendering of a map? That would mean that everymap would need a 2d picture of it designed specifically for it. If the map was 3d then you probably would have some performance impact since you'd be rendering the entire "world" as it were in 3d... 4. As far as it being realistic, you can just think of a head camera mounted on all your teammates. You just switch to that teammate and view them. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the teamview changed into a little window like you're talking about. I often use teamview myself to see where the flag carrier is (if they're not vocal enough to tell me themselves). The problem with that (as you already know), is that you get killed while stading there defensless. I'd like to see a first person(not 3rd person) teammate view in a small hud in the corner of the screen, much like translocam. If you can do it go for it. If you can't I'm sure someone else would for ya.

Actually, I think there already is an "overhead view" mutator out there. I seem to remember reading about it. I think it was just considered a cool gimmick, with no real value.

Because science has long taught us to rely on what we can see and touch, we often don't notice that our spirit, thoughts, emotions, and body are all made of energy - that everything is vibrating. As we move out of the age of technology and into the age of intuition, we need the tools to understand what it means to be a vibrational being and how our natural frequency affects us.
In Frequency, Penney Peirce shows you how to feel your personal vibration and work intentionally with energy to transform your life. Rather than being carried by external, conflicting energies, you can still your mind and become aware of who you are - your natural frequency - and what you truly want to create. By fully understanding the role that energy plays, you can harness the real power behind the laws of the universe and reap the benefits of the life you're built for.
©2009 Penny Peirce (P)2012 Tantor
"Penney Peirce clarifies many of the energy principles that have previously been unacknowledged, but which we can now intentionally use to keep ourselves healthy and improve the realities we live in. I laughed out loud when I read this book, and enjoyed it immensely." (Richard Bartlett, author of Matrix Energetics)
"Just tell your story"
The subject is great. I love this higher level understanding of spirit and ego. Unfortunately the delivery was painful. I couldn't get past the never ending series of examples. For every new word spoken there were 3 to10 examples of that word. She must have been a preschool teacher, probably a very good one. But the subject is for those with expanded consciousness and broader comprehension of mind and spirit. Yet Penny the author, causes you to speed up and slow down the whole way through. Me and my wife began laughing after a while. Also frustrating were these compilations of well thought out phrases, placing together a series of words in an attempt to sound articulate yet coming across choppy, distorting the rhythm and the flow of what I think could have been a very interesting subject.
Classic example of a writer getting in her own way.
The book touched on so many "Truths" and is filled with anecdotes with which I can relate. Will listen again to see what other good points were missed.
While this book is written from a different point of view, the "Truths" contained therein touched on areas many many other books did including those by Michael Beckwith, Eckart Tolle and Rhonda Byrne.
The performance was slow enough to get all of the points even at 1 1/2 speed.
Consciousness: Inside and Out
Wonderful book. Highly recommended!
Commuting and writing from Northern California.
"Deep and Complex"
I am thinking if this book was told by another story teller, it would be easier to
listen too. It sounds a bit robotic at times and the voice sounds a bit stiff.
However, that being said, it's an excellent, well researched and written book. I think I will buy the book and give it a read.
"I listen to a lot of self-help books"
and I could not get anything out of this - I could not listen, focus , or engage in any way. I was pretty surprised after all the great reviews by dynamic speakers like Wayne Dyer, etc. I am not sure if I am just not ready for the message or her delivery and voice were a barrier to me but after 3 years of LOTS of listening this was the first thing I could not listen to . Others I have enjoyed: All of Pema Chodron, all of Bruce Tipton, Wayne Dyer, John Kabat Zinn, Kevin Todeschi, Jack Kornfield, Louise Hay, Ram Dass, all of Geneen Roth and The Power and The Secret audios. So - I do a lot of listening as a way to keep me awake in the boondocks of Southern Oregon. I will keep trying this off and on and see if anything changes for me.
Delivery did not engage me - maybe more interesting words - I am not sure...
Have not invested much time as it could not engage me
Maybe good for others - that is why I listed what I have liked so people can get an idea of my listening preferences.

"Best book ever. An amazingly inspirational book fo"
Not a book to be read completely in a single sitting, but a great one to simply stand back and digest each amazing chapter.How on earth, or in heaven, does she do it? Every time I re-read a chapter something new jumps out at me. It has been a joy. Thank you.
Perfect for Today!
I have been studying 'parapsychology' for over 40 years and Frequency is the course to take since it weeds out all the nonsense often associated with development of psychic ability.
Laural's voice and affinity for the subject really enhance the motivational aspect of the book.
Frequency has to make a difference to anyone who listens to (or reads) it. It gives so many alternatives to the old tired problem solving tools that are usually just lip service anyway. Understanding something about frequencies encourages you to translate the frequencies to define the situation and choose solutions. Totally therapeutic!
"Great Audio Book"
This is a great audio book. I listened to Leap of Perception and was compelled to listen to this one as well.
"The book of lists"
The readers voice is fine, even nice. However, the book is read at breakneck speed.
This is like someone complied a book of lists and then had someone read it...really fast. It isn't the worst audiobook I've ran into, but there are certainly better books to spend your time on.
Basically, the book has a lot of new-agey-type things in it, like stages and levels you will get to as you become more "enlightened," I guess. It rarely tells you how to obtain any of these levels, just that these are things you will experience as you rise up through the levels.
The thought I had while listening to it was, "New Age + Masons = Frequency," because the author is quite adept at creating lists of levels and stages. While a bit interesting here or there, some insight from the author on how to personally grow to some of these levels would be helpful.
Also, some background on why the author believed some of these things might be helpful. For example, some levels correspond to chakras. That's fine, at least a person can google that. But, some levels are obtained only after death...and apparently you can get stuck there until spirit guides come and show you how to move on. Ok, so how exactly did the author come upon this knowledge? Spirit guides teach her this? It's part of her religion? It's an ancient belief? Or...she just happened to have finished watching a copy of Astral City and thought she could work it into one of her lists???
All in all, I would bet that Penney Peirce is a 33rd degree New Ager, and I don't really mean that in a derogatory way. What I mean is, focusing on lists and levels without information that will help people move up...is it really that useful?
The one thing I thought might be useful about the book is for someone at "higher levels" to look back and reflect on their lives. That might be why one reviewer couldn't figure out the positive reviews from some authors and lecturers she enjoyed. It connected with them, because they could see themselves in the different stages of personal development.
"Too basic for a complex topic"
This book may be helpful for those just beginning to look into the idea of higher energies and who are looking for reasons to accept these concepts.
The author was too wordy, as though she was trying to impress someone instead of reach out to her audience.
Not really. She just didn't have anything new to offer.
Rather disappointed. I couldn't finish the book.

Talk The Talk: 9 Fitness Lingo Fails
The world of fitness possesses a complex lexicon all its own. To make things worse, not everyone knows the proper meaning of every word or phrase, which means malapropisms and misnomers spread like wildfire. When I first started learning about Olympic lifts, I called the clean and jerk the clean and snatch. After numerous smirks and one kind soul who corrected my mistake, I wanted to punch myself in embarrassment.
If you've ever been in a similar situation, I'm here to help.
I believe it was Inigo Montoya (Princess Bride, anyone?) who first said: "I do not think it means what you think it means." That saying is a necessity when you're partners in crime with a Sicilian who uses "inconceivable" as an expletive, but I also think it's a great way to respond to the many things we hear in the gym. Here are nine common sentences that may not mean what you think they mean.
1 / "The lactic acid buildup made my legs hurt for days!"
Fortunately, this is a fairly easy one to fix. While there is such a thing as "lactic acid," according to the NSCA's Essentials of Strength and Conditioning, the lactic acid molecule actually cannot exist at physiological pH. What you think is lactic acid is actually lactate. The brief pain you feel from high-intensity exercise is actually caused by acidosis, a side effect of high lactate levels.
Acidosis is a pain, sure, but it's critical for recovery. High acid levels are a defense mechanism that forces you to stop overworking the body's systems, allowing the body to clear lactate and other metabolites. Your body's ability to produce and clear lactate is your body's ability to recover.
Pain related to acidosis is actually brief. Acidosis isn't responsible for longer-term muscle soreness, known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DOMS is probably the result of muscle cell damage and your body's inflammation-repair response.
2 / "I want to work on my functional fitness."
We've all heard somebody say they want to be "functionally fit." In reality, function depends on sport. What is functional for a bodybuilder isn't necessarily functional for a powerlifter—hence, the different body types and skills. A dude who tries to get as much weight on a squat as possible would probably not spend as much time doing biceps curls. On the other hand, loading a barbell and doing bench presses in the shortest range of motion (ROM) possible probably wouldn't help a guy looking to add size to his chest.
When most people say "functional fitness," they mean they want to train multiple fitness qualities. They don't want to be all "show" and no "go." Those of us who aren't specialized athletes probably want to be stronger, faster, more flexible, healthier, and able to recover more efficiently. Any training that promotes these qualities is "functional."
3 / "My coach is making me do Olympic lifting."
Many people assume that the words powerlifting, weightlifting, and Olympic lifting can be used interchangeably. The truth is that these words denote very specific practices. Sure, there are similarities: powerlifters and Olympic lifters want to lift as much weight as possible, and they get three attempts to perform each lift. The winner of the competition is the person who lifts the most combined weight.
The key difference, though, is that each type of lifter focuses on completely different lifts and techniques. Olympic lifters compete in the sport of "weightlifting," and their specific events are the snatch and the clean and jerk. To train the Olympic lifts, weightlifters use variations of the snatch and the clean and jerk to increase their speed, better their technique, and fix their inefficiencies.
Powerlifters, on the other hand, compete in the sport of "powerlifting." Powerlifts are strictly the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Powerlifters can compete in either "raw" or "equipped" meets and federations. Equipped powerlifters may use bench shirts, squat suits, briefs, and wraps.
If you're not in either community, mixing up the names may seem harmless. But, try comparing it to something else. The next time you're watching the Super Bowl, I dare you to mix up American football and futbol. I guarantee somebody will mind.
4 / "Yesterday, I did dynamic squats."
I hear people use the word "dynamic" in the gym and often wonder if they know the proper definition. There are actually two ways to use "dynamic" correctly: when you're talking about flexibility or dynamic effort training.
Your "dynamic flexibility" means your available ROM. If your coach or trainer makes you do "dynamic stretching," it means you're moving and stretching, rather than stretching and holding. Leg swings, walking lunges, arm circles, hip circles, etc., are examples of dynamic stretches. According to a study published in the 2012 Journal of Human Kinetics,2 researchers found that dynamic stretches were the best warm-ups for "optimizing countermovement jump performance."
Static stretching differs from dynamic stretching in that there is no movement. If you sit on your butt, reach for your toes, and hold the position, you're doing a static stretch.
"Dynamic effort," however, is a training method. If you follow the Westside method, dynamic effort days are your speed days. During dynamic effort workouts, you use sub-max weights for many sets using maximum force.3 The point is to get high-quality volume, practice reps for set up and technique, and train acceleration.
5 / "We did an intense workout."
In exercise science, "intensity" has a specific definition. It's not synonymous with strength, and it doesn't refer to how "hard" you worked out. To a kinesiologist, intensity is specific term for the amount of effort your body expends. It's a measure of your effort against your maximum capability. If you're doing cardio, you can measure intensity by working at a certain percentage of your VO2 max. Lifters measure intensity by using weight that is a specific percentage of their one rep max (1RM).
We might call a workout "intense" without considering its actual meaning. Intense is different than "difficult." Intensity is a measure of power output, not an adjective.
6 / "I do curls on the bosu ball to help my stability."
As it turns out, balance and stability are two different things. Stability is your body's current state of resistance to change or displacement. Your stability is always shifting; it changes constantly depending on how heavy you are, your relationship to the ground (whether you're sitting or standing), and to the forces around you. Balance, on the other hand, is your capability of maintaining equilibrium. Balance is an actual skill, rather than a state of being.
It seems to be en vogue for trainers to make their clients do everything on a Bosu ball and call it "stability training." This is problematic for a couple of reasons: One, you're actually training balance, not stability. Two, science says that balance is skill-specific.4
That means the only thing standing on a Bosu ball is going to help you do is stand on a Bosu ball. You don't play sports on a waterbed. If you want to have better balance, practice doing things you're bad at. If you're terribly unbalanced on one leg, then stand on one leg more often.
7 / "I just want to get toned."
For some reason, women, their trainers, and advertisers have kidnapped the word "toned" and turned it into the ultimate lady goal. It seems that being muscular is not a goal women should aspire to. Here's the real deal: You can't see shape without muscles. You can run on the treadmill or swoosh away on the elliptical all day. Sure, you might get thinner, but without some meat on your delts, triceps, and biceps, you'll never see those awesome shoulder caps.
Ladies, "I want more muscle," is an absolutely legitimate goal to tell your trainer or your friends.
On a scientific note, "tone" actually has meaning on a physiological level. Your muscles maintain a low-level contraction, even when you're at rest. That's why your muscles are always at least a little firm. This is called "muscle tone," or "residual muscle tension." It helps keep you upright, and maintain balance and posture. In this light, there's really no way to "tone up" your muscles—they're already toned.
8 / "Lift with your legs, not your back."
If you've never heard anyone say this, you might want to climb out from the rock you're living under. This is helpful advice, but it's inadequate. If you lift with just your legs, you'll hurt your knees or your back. If you lift with just your back, you'll hurt your back.
What people should say is, "lift with your hips." Your hips connect your legs and your back. They're extremely important to many movements. Squats, deadlifts, and cleans can't be done well without utilizing the hips. Learn how to hinge them!
9 / "I love doing 'bicep' curls and 'tricep' extensions."
Funny enough, it's impossible to do a "bicep" curl. The muscles on your upper arms are called the biceps brachii and the triceps brachii. There are two heads on the biceps muscle, and three on your triceps. You can't do a curl with one head of your biceps. You can't do an overhead extension with one head of your triceps. The "s" isn't optional; it's the actual name of the muscle.

when people are like "I want to get toned" (and by people, I of course mean WOMEN), I want to slap them. you can BURN fat and BUILD muscle, but you can't just "tone it up." you're not...like..that doesn't even make sense. you've either strengthened (aka built) your muscle, or you've lost muscle. there is no middle ground. that's like a "tune up" on a car.....what is that? did you somewhat plug the holes in the leaking tubes? did you half way tighten some bolts, but not all the way? did you replace the oil but not the filter? no. you either FIXED or REPLACED something, or you did nothing...other than poke and look around..which is what I see a lot of women doing at the gym, which is what I personally used to do, so I can say that. ;) haha

OK Cassie, so you're talking from the exercise physiologist point of view, and not the average fitness enthusiast/ bodybuilding hobbyist point of view (which is 95% of this website's readership).
You're technically correct on just about everything, but you're really splitting hairs on every topic. Fact is, most people that read this website don't give a **** about the literal meanings of every phrase.
Cute article, but pretty pointless.

Yes, everything was technically true, but if you go around correcting every tiny misuse of fitness literature to those in the gym, you're going to annoy the living hell out of other lifters: "Hey man, I'm gonna do some bicep curls." "UM EXCUSE ME, DON'T YOU MEAN BICEPS BRACHII CURLS?"

Mayor tight lipped on Taser malfunction in suspect death Wilmington police have identified the man who died in custody Sunday night, and also say both of the stun guns that were used on him malfunctioned. Police say Deomain Hayman of Wilmington died after going into cardiac arrest when he was taken into custody after struggling with officers in the driveway of a business on the 1700 block of Wawaset Street. Mayor Dennis Williams says he can't talk much about the case due to an ongoing investigation. "Well, officers get rigorous training. You have to make a decision on what type of force you have to use trying to make an arrest. I wasn't there, I don't know exactly what happened and again it's still under investigation, and I don't want to get into it." Hayman--who allegedly led police on a vehicle chase after he fled a traffic stop prior to the confrontation--had two Tasers used against him, after he continued to fight with officers despite having already been hit by the first stun gun. Police say officers then cuffed Hayman and sat him down, but that's when police say he appeared to go into cardiac arrest. He later died at Wilmington Hospital despite officers removing the cuffs, performing CPR and using a defibrillator on him. The investigation into Hayman's death continues. |

I need to enhance the front of my house, specifically the brick chimney. The pictures I have seen of creeping fig ivy suggest that it is difficult to control and needs biannual shaping and grooming. What other vines might possibly work, flowering or otherwise and would climb up 20-25 feet or so? There is also partial shade and the house faces west. Thanks for your input. |

What about Climbing hydrangea? It holds onto brick all by itself. What about a climbing rose like New Dawn. You would have to put some kind of wire guides on the brick I think. The Antique Rose Emporium (find them online) can give good suggestions on cl. roses. |

Thanks so much louisianagal--I appreciate your help. Don't think I have enough sun for roses, but I will look up the hydrangeas. |
How about coral honeysuckle? It's evergreen and hummingbirds like them. |
- Posted by jamesmaloy 8b Florida (My Page) on Thu, Apr 5, 12 at 0:44
If you do not have full sun, What about one of the many types of ivy? Also if it can grow 25-30 feet the creeping fig can be beautiful. Once or twice a year pruning is not much care. James in Florida |
- Posted by bigoledude Z9b Chalmette Louisi (My Page) on Tue, Jan 15, 13 at 4:57
If the partial shade is due to trees on your property, you can thin-out the canopy very slightly and let in a lot more light. The trade-off is you might save money by stopping some of that blasting evening sun from hitting your house. The little ficus you mentioned doesn't require a lot of pruning compared to most climbers that I'm aware of. And, it holds on tenaciously! We have many beautiful old New Orleans homes utilizing that great little plant and I love every one I see. |

My husband and I grew up near the mountains in Pennsylvania and spent our childhoods hiking, fishing, and camping. When we vacationed in Gateway Mountain we loved the natural surroundings and breathtaking views that were all around us. We decided to purchase this vacation home so that we could revisit the beauty and tranquility of the mountains whenever possible without the hassle of hotels or condominiums.
Sharon purchased this cabin in 2008

Sleek, Sexy Trailer For 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Has Finally Arrived: VIDEO
The focus is all on Anastasia Steele and, of course, Mr. Christian Grey in the just-released first trailer for the highly anticipated film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. The movie is sure to be a hit with the "housewife" demographic that initially made the book a best seller, but given Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan's brooding good looks, anyone could be enticed to see it.
While there are a few light-hearted moments in the trailer, the film seems to revel in the darkness of Grey's mysterious past and the lusty intrigue of his present. One thing's for certain: it all looks uber-sexy.
Check out the trailer, AFTER THE JUMP...

A bumpy ride for young engineers
Miguel Reyes has two passions: photography and cars. He almost had to sacrifice both last year when Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, taking thousands of lives and causing destruction.
Team Facts
- Team name: TEAM PUP-MANILA
- Average age: 20
- Car name: Tanglaw
- Class: Prototype
- Fuel: Petrol
- Unique features: Car body made from banana plant fibre
- Years in the competition: 2
- Records to beat: No recorded attempt
Miguel, aged 19, captains a team from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines that is designing an ultra-energy-efficient car to compete in Shell Eco-marathon.
Miguel Reyes hopes his team's energy-efficient car will make his country proud
The team opted to use acaber fibre from banana plants for the car body, keeping down costs as well as the weight of the car. Work was in full flow when, in November last year, a typhoon struck the country. Progress on the car halted. Wanting to help, Miguel donated money he'd been saving for a new camera towards relief efforts.
We were horrified," says Miguel. "I wanted to do all I could."
Tough times
Miguel's university is in the capital Manila, which was virtually untouched by the typhoon. But he and his team knew people in affected areas. Team secretary Kristine Joy L. Resurreccion had been raising funds to build the car. Suddenly her full focus was on her grandmother who lived in Tacloban city, more than 800 kilometres (500 miles) from Manila.
"We lost contact when the city was destroyed," says Kristine. "My family was frantic."
The entire team rallied round Kristine. Miguel and team mate Sonny Aurellano helped wider efforts by sorting donations of clothes and tinned food in the city. Two weeks later Kristine finally received news that her grandmother was doing well. Work resumed on the car and now the team is making final preparations.
"We are looking forward to the competition," says Miguel. "We want to show the world that visitors should still come to our country – and we want to make our country proud of us!"

I have new bamboo flooring in my bathroom, hallway, and bedroom. The contractors must have "mopped up" the bathroom floor, leaving water spots and streaks. Anyone know the best/easiest way to clean these floors, for the spots, and in general thereafter? |

I would use vinegar and water. It gets rid of the water spots and is what I use on my laminate floors. Since the bamboo is in your bathroom, I have to assume it has a water proof finish. |
