The Casio FH100 does a great job for stroke analysis. It has MANUAL shutter speed control down to 1/40,000 sec shutter speed to minimize motion blur (= see the ball on the racket strings). I am not certain but I believe there are currently no other affordable high speed video cameras being offered with MANUAL exposure control, they are all AUTO exposure. Motion blur is is not minimized by cameras with AUTO exposure control.
The FH100 also has small Jello Effect distortions based on some Jello Effect tests that I have done. See Jello Effect videos -
For the above HSV cameras the Jello Effect should be measured if accurate videos are needed for stroke analysis. Also, the recording time for high speed video needs to be determined as some HSV cameras only record for a few seconds.
Unfortunately, I believe that the Casio FH100 is no longer manufactured so you may have to search for a new one still in stock or buy a used one.
The FH100 will only record to a maximum video file size of 4 Gb (17+ minutes for HD). To record longer, for example, on a 32 Gb SD card, the camera must be retriggered. For 240 fps with corresponding low resolution the FH100 will record almost 11 minutes.
To record an entire match in HD there are other cameras that will do better than the Casio FH100 but for stroke analysis the FH100 is exceptional. The Casio F1(
), FH20 and FH25 also have MANUAL exposure control for HSV.
Toly asked about analysis software. Kinovea is free, open source analysis software that allows comparison of videos side-by-side as often seen in golf swing comparisons.

This refers to the interview with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa carried in The Hindu on November 22. The figures quoted by Mr. Rajapaksa are misleading and inaccurate. In 2009, Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL)'s expenditure was only Rs. 44 million and the figure of Rs. 109 million that is alleged to have been spent by TISL in 2009 is inaccurate.
In fact, the amount spent by TISL from 2004 till the end of 2009 is Rs. 155 million. During January 2010, the amount spent was Rs. 4.3 million. The amount spent by TISL on its election monitoring programmes in 2010 was Rs. 6.4 million.

Good job DN, you got the "strange on their face" part (and maybe from the title, too?) but you still need to "combine them regardless".

Albany, New York -
In addition to the fancy chicken, steak, and pasta meals laided out by the Desmond Hotel here in Albany, we also took the time to talk to those who gave up their day for Club University. One of those men is Joe – and he is a character.
First thing Joe (Joseph T. Strnad) tells me is that the best kept secret in New York State is the Oneonta Sportsmen's Club.
"Most beautiful 28 acres you've ever seen," started Joe. "Of that, we've got seven acres worth of outdoor rifle and shotgun range, a two tear trap course, silhouette shoots … it's amazing."
But Joe's work in the field of firearms doesn't stop there. He was also an instructor for the inaugural Women's Wilderness Escape last year in New Mexico. "It took me seven flights and eleven hours to finally get there. And if they'll have me, I'll gladly do it all over again. Just as long as I can use a different airline."

I was going to ask about the tires from your previous post. I've been following the Mitas discussions over on the 690 Mega thread. I've no fear of the 130 and they are in contention for my 690. I find them easier to control. I'd just never thought about them for the 950.

Mexico rallies past Panama 4-2 on late homer
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Jorge Romero put Mexico in front with one big swing, and then he finished the job from the mound.
Romero hit a two-run homer in the top of the seventh, and Tijuana, Mexico, rallied past Aguadulce, Panama, 4-2 on Thursday night to earn a berth in the international championship game at the Little League World Series.
Jorge Rodriguez reached on a bunt single before Romero connected against Edgardo Rosales, sending a drive over the wall in center.
"I was just thinking my job was to get a hit and get on base so I could score a run," Romero said.
The rain-delayed victory set up a rematch between Mexico and Tokyo, Japan on Saturday. The second game on Thursday's slate between Westport, Conn., and Sammamish, Wash., for a berth in the U.S. final against Chula Vista, Calif., was moved to Friday.
Mexico went ahead 2-1 in the fifth. Brandon Montes led off with a long drive to left-center for his fourth World Series homer, and Alex Artalejo added an RBI single.
Panama scored on a pair of sacrifice flies by Jordan Agrazal in the first and fifth innings.
"It was a big game and the kids did their best," Panama manager Luis Gonzalez said. "They battled back the final inning. It's a team that won 26 games, and Panama should be proud of them."
The game was delayed for 95 minutes in the seventh, and Panama threatened in its final at-bat after play resumed.
Jean Mar Sanchez led off with a single to center, and Juan Crisp had a base hit with one out. Agrazal was ruled safe on a grounder to second when first baseman Luis Corral was late covering, but the call was overturned after a video replay as Mexico's boisterous fans roared in approval.
That put two runners in scoring position, but Romero struck out Rafael Eysseric swinging on a 1-2 pitch to end it. Romero then threw his glove hard to the ground and was mobbed by his teammates near the mound.
"I was confident we were going to get the out," Romero said. "I had been throwing good fastballs. I knew if I could throw strikes we were going to get him."
The first meeting between the teams last Sunday was short. Montes went deep on the fifth pitch of the game, and Ramon Mendoza added two of Tijuana's five home runs in a 13-0 rout that went only four innings. The game was stopped because of Little League's 10-run rule.
Daniel Fernandez was the starter for Panama in that one and recorded just one out, allowing two runs and two hits. He had another shaky beginning in this one, but settled down in a hurry this time.
Fernandez walked the first three batters he faced, and a couple of visits to the mound by Gonzalez didn't seem to have much effect. But with a teammate already throwing in the bullpen, the left-hander wriggled out of the jam.

OSRAM SYLVANIA, Studies Shed New Light on High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Automotive Lighting
HILLSBORO, N.H., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ — We all "fell back" an hour on Sunday, Nov. 1, through Daylight Savings Time. For many of America's 100-plus million commuters this means several months of driving to and from work in the dark. This places even more importance on a vehicle's lighting system where better visibility equals increased safety.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) or Xenon headlamps offer the best and brightest solution. There has been a lot of interest in the topic of HID and its impact on America's roadways. The experts are finally weighing in, informing America on the truths behind the technology.
OSRAM SYLVANIA, America's leading manufacturer of automotive lighting, announces the release of a comprehensive HID fact sheet designed to help educate the media and the public on the truths behind HID automotive lighting. The fact sheet is available for download in PDF format on the OSRAM Web site at: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/Products/HID/default.htm
"This new fact sheet should reinforce the fact that the pluses of HID lighting greatly outweigh any minuses," said Sharon Ernest, product manager for OSRAM SYLVANIA. "Along with offering a brighter, safer beam pattern, OSRAM Xenon automotive lighting is energy efficient, using up to 65 percent less energy and lasts three times longer than standard halogen lights, nearly the life of the vehicle. OSRAM HID lamps also are good for the environment. They're Mercury-free and the increased efficiency helps reduce vehicle CO2 emissions by approximately 2.1 g/mile."
Along with pertinent details and other interesting information, the "Facts About HID" document features briefs on recent studies proving that HID headlamps provide visual benefits that may lead to greater nighttime driving safety for people — and animals — alike.
HID Lighting Helps Reduce Deer/Vehicle Collisions
Approximately 1.5 million deer/vehicle collisions occur each year in the U.S., resulting in $1.1 billion in damage, injuries to occupants and loss of individual animals according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
A recent study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture tested the effects of halogen and HID headlights on the flight-initiation distance (FID) of free-range deer. Flight-initiation distance is defined as the distance at which the deer sees the vehicle as runs from the roadway. The study hypothesized that a vehicle lighting system that better complemented the visual capabilities of deer at night would increase the distance that deer perceived an oncoming vehicle, giving them more time to leave the roadway, potentially reducing the number of deer/vehicle collisions.
The results of the eight-month study proved the premise to be true. White-tailed deer were more sensitive to a vehicle equipped with HID lighting, taking flight up to 20 meters sooner than they did when exposed to a vehicle equipped with halogen lamps.
"We suggest," state study authors Bradley F. Blackwell and Thomas W. Seamans, "that deer flight-initiation distance can be increased by combining currently available tungsten halogen and HID lamps, or use of HID lamps alone, to enhance deer detection of an approaching vehicle at night."
HID Lighting Improves Peripheral Vision During Night Driving
A scientific study by the Transportation Lighting Group, Lighting Research Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute compared HID and halogen lighting systems for visual performance during night time driving situations with an emphasis on peripheral vision. The study states that along with adequate forward vision, good peripheral vision, or the ability to spot objects at the edge of or off the edge of the road, is crucial to driving safety.
Results proved conclusively that HID headlamps greatly increase visual awareness of objects in the driver's peripheral vision.
"Because HID lamps produce a wider beam, drivers can see better along the sides of the road," said John D. Bullough, a senior research scientist at RPI in a recent RPI release. "That wider beam allows drivers to see pedestrians or animals that may not quite be on the road, but might be approaching it. So there are some potential benefits in terms of safety for the drivers who have these lamps."
That benefit would extend to people walking along the roadway as well.
Additionally, researchers discovered that the spectral power distribution (SPD) or physical makeup of the HID light beam makes it easier for the human eye to see objects in low-light conditions.
Brief synopses and links to the full studies can be found on the HID Fact Sheet.

Sidney Zion, 1933-2009
He is perhaps best known for suing New York Hospital for allowing over-tired residents to treat his daughter Libby, which he claimed had caused her death; he didn't win his case, but the state passed a law, for which the Libby Zion case is considered the inspiration, to prevent egregious overwork of doctors in hospitals. His son says Zion was "somebody who lived better than anybody I know, who never did anything he didn't want to do," which you can't say about too many people.

UPDATE: This patch has been released on Xbox One & Xbox 360, and Chaos Mode is now out for these consoles. We'll update when we get patch notes.
A new patch for Call of Duty: Ghosts has been released for PC players. User @JrrizzoYT has sent an image showing that Chaos Mode, previously announced on the Devastation Day stream, is now available in Extinction on all maps. Chaos Mode is round based infinite amount of aliens mode for Extinction.
We'll update this post when the patch notes are released.
SOURCE: @JrrizzoYT
Chaos Mode for free? Nice!
…(Not offence meant for the poster of this comment but…)
Does no one see how fucking ridiculous it is that anyone is happy about "free" content?…The fact that we expect to be charged for even used content is really upsetting
I think Mitch was referring more to the fact that Activision (Who just added a shit ton of micro transaction items to milk the game) would offer such an awesome thing for free. It's a true rarity to see such things in today's industry.
The rarity being the sad part was all I meant, the comment was only focused on that topic to stay "on topic" sorry… I tend to ramble '-_-
Nah man I ramble too. So much infact people tell me to shut up before I finish!
Actually you had to pay for chaos mode lol.. so it wasnt free get your facts straight 😀
No, you had to pay for it in MW3, not this game. Get YOUR facts right.
There was a reason he said "actually you HAD to pay for chaos mode" had being past tense, meaning MW3.. Idiot.
Had also could've been taken as had to pay for the update 😉 Idiot
Can I be the idiot, and you two can peacefully realize you misunderstood each other. It's really sad to see these cat fights break out over a game.
I got my season pass for mw3 free. Season pass members got content at different times usually in small bits earlier than others so I was mistaken, my apologies.
its because they knew it should've been in the game at the beginning
haha love that gif! 😀
Fudge yes? You know you can say fuck yes right? This is the internet.
I was eating Nutella with a spoon when I wrote that comment Believe it or not… but ill change it… as you wish
Yes… do it… do it….
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Pretty cool, actually.
Way to bring back an OLD game type. How about investing in some NEW content and stop reusing old shit that hardly anybody played.
oh I'm sorry, what other CoD had extinction in it? Let alone a sort of survival game mode for it?
Well a sort of survival game mode would be zombies.
extinction is nothing like zombies
Well, you try and hold of against other beings(just like zombies), it has an ending (like zombies, has 4 characters (again… Just like zombies), and oh, what's this? It has a money system (sigh just like zombies)
the difference is that Extinction is shit, but Zombies is awesome
How is Extinction "shit"? How does Zombies not get boring? It is LITERALLY the same every time on every map. Even the story is as confusing as "shit". At least the Extinction story makes sense is actually pretty good an in depth unlike Zombies when the whole story line is: It's a game invented by 2 children during WWII. If IW is soooo bad then why did Treyarch take something so amazing and perfect then take a massive "shit" on it. Still think Zombies is "awesome"?
I do agree to this. Extinction is actually better because of the things it does. It has a real rank up system unlike that shit in Black Ops 2. It takes strategy to play maps like Nightfall and Mayday. There's objectives to the game as well, which makes the game more fun and challenging, unlike Zombies. The money system is different as well, as there is a cap limit in Extinction, unlike Zombies, you also have things like different class setups, the challenges of having Relics and the new edition of the Teeth system. In reality, IW did everything Zombies should have done. Ghosts multiplayer might be terrible, but at least they made a gamemode that is completely original, with original maps, enemies, challenges, etc. I will give them that.
While I agree that the Zombies Ranking system did suck, you are wrong about many points. There are several strategies to get high rounds in zombies, and several objectives. Easter Eggs, tomahawks, Origins Challenges, etc. There's a money cap on Zombies as well, ever tried getting a million? Also, to whoever said that Treyarch "took a shit" on the storyline, you do understand that that is just a new story arc, right? It wasn't ORIGINALLY a game, but do to the events of the Maxis side of the Buried EE, Samantha is freed, and CHANGES the whole storyline so that IT'S NOW just a game. It's confusing, but that's what the fans like. Oh, and it's "2" maps that you can end by not dying out, not just one.
I'm not hating on Extinction though, like what you like. Just at least be correct in your argument.
If you have a million points in zombies, you don't need anything but ammo at that point. Extinction ends on a high note. Extinction is harder than any zombies map at any round. Try beating any of the map with 5 relics on. Then try doing it with 3 other people who also have 5 relics on. That takes real strategy and skill. In zombies, the most skill you can have is running in a circle. Try doing that in Extinction. Long story short, Extinction is much better built than zombies ever was. Anyone who has felt the thrill of escaping or killing the Breeder or the Kraken can tell you Extinction is better than zombies. Zombies had a good storyline, but it ended by telling all of its fans that it was all the game of 2 disturbed children. Plus the storyline in zombies is just do a bunch of random shit and then you get some of the storyline in audio. In Extinction, events unfold in the map as you are playing, like in Mayday and Nightfall and then you have intel that clearly shows you what is going on with some backstory. Zombies was fun for its time, but like all great things, it was replaced by something better. I personally can't wait to see how TreyArch responds to this.
Good point. I'm also confused to how Bo2 Zombies works. Didn't Richtofen blow up Earth after Moon? I'm confused…
It takes place after the earth was destroyed. Thats why it was split apart on the cutscene of Die Rise. But it doesn't even matter, its just the game of 2 sick children anyway…
There is no strategy to surviving high round on Zombies. Take Kino Der Toten for example. Wanna survive high rounds by your self? Run around the stage in a circle. Zombies is a fun gamemode, but its major fault was that the AI always followed you no matter what so when people learned how to train it became TOO easy. The AI in Extinction is better as it is impossible to train because no aliens constantly follow you besides the Rhino. I'm not hating on Zombies and I still love it probably just as much or even more than Extinction but I'm pointing out that not everything in Zombies is sooo amazing. At least it's better than most Co-Op modes than other FPS games. I'm looking at BF4 with their lack of Dinosaurs mode.
Yes i do, the same formula is one of the reasons why most people love it, and i dont recall saying i was a fan of BO2 Zombies, more classic zombies – WaW/BO1
And that too
clearly you are a zombies fanboy, if you had actually played extinction and were good at it you would see that extinction is a lot different to zombies, firstly in every FPS you have to hold off against other beings in MP thats what you do…you kill other people, extinction doesn't have 4 set characters, it just has up to 4 players, zombies doesn't have an ending apart from one map, even the money system is different. Then things that extinction have but zombies doesn't, you can search for extra attachments, money, anything really. There are different kinds of enemies, zombies just have one kind of enemy, There is a class system, you can have sort of streaks that you can buy or the boosters, you get skill points for doing the challenges and can upgrade the class or streak/boosters, theres now the teeth you use to get permanent upgrades. If you think that extinction is shit, you just aren't playing it right or you're just simply shit at it. Zombies is a lot different and more simpler and boring really.
I have played extinction and it boring as shit, and yes I am a zombies fanboy and I'm proud to be one.
In Zombies you must discover the story, make strange easter eggs, zombies has no ending, online games like this always have 4 characters, wich is the number of controllers that can be plugged into a console, in zombies money is infinite.
Aliens has an ending, can be finished, has Skill Point System, and much more.
I also thought that the game mode would be the same, but after playing it for some time, I know those 2 modes are very different stuff.
OLD gametype on a NEW BETTER mode. The strategies will be different and the way you survive will be different. Stop complaining.
I know hating COD is the "cool" thing to do atm but Chaos mode for Extinction is just what Extinction needs at the moment…
You're one of those guys who asks for innovation and new things, but then complain about it when you get your wish. Just stop it already would you.
Not all innovation is good. This Chaos mode and Extinction are both great, innovative things brought to the game. But stuff like predator and millions of micro-DLC is a step in the wrong direction, IMO. It's still innovation, it's just not very good innovation.
Yep exactly. It really depends on the community. The Predator can be fun to begin with but then it gets annoying because everyone is CONSTANTLY fighting for the field order and they always use cheap tactics to kill you from getting it. I remember getting a Predator and then I was about to pick it up then BAM! Some guy kills me with a Kastet. Same with the Venom-X in Unearthed, it ruins the flow of the game.
THANK GOD! I thought you'd have to buy the DLC 3 pack to get Chaos mode. Hope you can get Teeth in this game mode! 😀
I don't know about Teeth, but you CAN earn XP and gain levels.

Next time you try to troll, capitalize the "C" in Charlie INTEL. It'll seem more legit.
Dude, it's legit. I mean… Did you see his name?
Is this coming to consoles? If so, PLEASE tell me it's coming to Wii U as well!
Not much comes to Wii U…I'm not sure why you stick with it.
It's the fault of the third-parties, not the console. If third parties weren't dicks, everything would be fine.
The third party developers don't see a lot of potential on the Wii U. That's why they are not developing for it. They don't see growth and the trend doesn't look like it will change until Nintendo's next generation of consoles.
Lol Wii U come on man what you doing with your life lol
Because Disqus doesn't show the amount of dislikes anymore, I just wanted to tell you that your comment is horrible and useless.
Lol your a pointless person and your comment is pointless just like your useless wii u lol
Have fun paying too much for a console and then continuously wasting money having to pay for playing online.
Lol all your doing is showing how poor you are £35 for a year is nothing and the console is £320 again not alot
It's a lot for a minimum wage worker. I have friends working at Burger King and they're still saving up for a PS4.
Lol well they should of done better at school and have better ambitions in life.
Then they wouldn't be in that position woul they.
They could be like me and just buy it!
Kiddo, what's your age? 12?
Im not a kid so kindly keep your assumptions to yourself!
Well, then you're just a random immature moron.
It has already been released on all other affirms except for Wii U.
Then why does this article just say PC?
Because it was released for other platforms weeks ago 😉
The mode hasn't been released for any console
The mode hasn't been released for any console, stop trolling
Lol You caught me
You should be ashamed of yourself. You bring shame to your family
Are you copying takeo?
Sell your Wii U and buy a PS4. I assume you have kids who loves Mario but for things like COD, PS4 is the way to go.
I have both and think paying for online play on a console is the dumbest thing imaginable. Besides, it's optimized for every console (excluding PC), so aside from DLC it actually matters the least.
No, the X1 is the way to go for fans of COD. The DLCs here come always first.
The majority of players don't care about the DLCs.
I don't think so…
I think that if you buy COD you should just buy the DLCs or the game will turn into something for renting.
Are you kidding? More people are playing COD without the DLCs. Matchmaking goes down the toilet and people are asking for ways to delete or turn off the DLCs. Just go to the forums and see for yourself.
I would rather have better matchmaking rather than have new maps.
A true COD fan would know this. Is this your first COD? It seems like it. Well, speak for yourself but i will never sacrifice connection quality just to have some new shiny maps that the majority doesn't care about.
The majority of people who don't buy the DLCs have sold the game or just don't play it.
And I have the impression that the man you answered at first, is a COD fan, and that he will buy the DLCs.
I don't want DLCs to exist, but they do.
We need a regular survival mode too. Open debris using points, no ending…
No no no… that's zombies. Why repeat a formula done by Treyarch? If they did they'd get more hate than they already get.
No it would probs make it more successful, people love Zombies and how it works, and even if Extinction was a direct rip-off from Zombies, I and many others would start to play it
And if they did people would hate on IW more still. They would call them unoriginal, copycat and the same old hate comments. To everyone his own leaf though man. I love the chaotic feel of Extinction and I love the epicness of zombies but I think the two should stay the way they are. Respect your opinion though.
Man that just turns it into zombies, if you want to do that just play zombies
MW3 survival mode in extinction!
so the MW3 survival mode?
They have a gamemode like that already… It's called Safeguard. You should really research this shit yo.
But I want that against aliens. Safeguard sucks
Never messed with Safeguard couldn't get into it.
I guess it's a little fun with friends for a bit. At least they brought a survival like gamemode in the game, cause they didn't have to.
Nice but to late
Zombies is still better.
My favorite 4 characters 😀 They should do a solo game with them
That's it! Imma buy another Xbox 360 and buy World at War and Black Ops 2 for it! Oh, and a few other games! (Already have Black Ops 1 installed on Xbox Live account).
Black Ops is the best Call of Duty IMO. Never shall I call it 'Black Ops 1′. It doesn't deserve to have a '1' to distinguish it from Black Ops 2.
I just call it Black Ops 1 to not confuse it with Black Ops 2. When Black Ops 2 came out, just saying Black Ops would make people think of Black Ops 2.
Black Ops was not as good as MW2 which was the best CoD IMO, early game was solid until people started exploiting, but honestly, compared to the BS nowadays, a little bit of commando lunging and OMA Noob tubing is manageable, everybody complained and now we get the noob campfest we have today. It's amazing how one group of people whining and complaining can ruin a really good franchise, cause first went the knifing, and now hit detection is destroyed.
^ Is this guy serious? Poor development – knifing /hit detection – is solely the fault of developers making "poor" design choices.
Anyway, back to subject matter. Chaos mode is my personal favorite co-op mode from IW. Spec ops missions was my least favorite by far. In the end, all this will still pale in insignificance in light of the fact that the main MP is still riddled with "poor" design choices. Which over shadows any progress made in the eyes of many – hence the not so good user reviews out there that seem to out number the "few" good user reviews. And that makes the "good" reviewers look like they were paid to be "good". That's another story.
Why are they adding stuff that should have already been in game since release, wow, shows how lazy IW are, they are still working on the game, it is not finished…. IW, you had a year to make a game, instead, you took it easy and made the worst game, ever.
What is wrong with you? They add new game modes all the times in other games and not just CoD. They added Chaos mode after MW3 was released. Man sometimes I swear people hate on IW because everyone else does.
Chaos Mode was added as a DLC in MW3 not free.
I don't know if you're blind or something, but I didn't see him say Chaos Mode in MW3 was "FREE", just that it was added after MW3 was released.
Thanks for pointing that out. This is a really cool gamemode I never got to try in MW3 so for us to get it for free we should at least thank IW and Activision.
I loved this in MW3. Aah Modern Warfare 3, so many great memories…
Can't wait then haha.
They never promised this upon release, how on earth did you expect them to do this on release
I was hoping for MP mapos like in MW3, but its good to see they are adding more coop gamemodes.
I wish they would just bring DEMOLITION back its the best game type going!
I only played that in BO2.
They should bring that back if they can fix the spawns it in. Due to the nature of the mode (2 bombs lined up just over the middle of the map), it's very easy to push the enemy back and get a spawntrap, probably easier than any other mode.
Yh nuketown was the worst spawn trap map EVER! For that mode
Every mode.
CTF plz
It's one of my favorites. I liked it in MW3 because you could rack up your supports and then unleash them like crazy at the begging of round 3. I actually appreciated the stealth bomber. I think it was well earned and not always easy to target successfully. Those who didn't like it should realize its easy to hear it coming and take cover. It's not good for tactical insertion campers
We need the Multiplayer Chaos Mode Please
Another news for you guys using Nvidia:
The new 337.50 BETA drivers have a HUGE improvement for the performance of Ghosts. I feel mine has more polished graphics now.
One thing I don't get it, why does it say PC and yet the first image shows of this 'Select Mode' menu on the 360?
PC supports 360 controllers, so he's probably using one.
Oh yeah I forgot they could, how stupid of me, my apologies on that.
I am ready for this mode for consoles. Extinction is great and all but for players like me who beats the maps on a regular basis this will be a nice breath of fresh air.
Hey guys, only 13 days until May 1st. Be prepared for either a CoD 2014 Reveal or Teaser Trailer.
would have a new cast of characters along with the previous ones that survived
like Price, Frost etc. MW4 would take place in the year 2020, 3 years after the
events of World War 3 (MW3) as the world recovers. Frost becomes the Field
Commander for Delta 6-4 while Price acts a mentor to the new recruitments (The
New Characters). Terrorist attacks on the world's biggest cities happen over a
period of days yet you still don't know who is leading these attacks. The
Antagonist of this game is one that acts as a plot twist to the game: You find
out later in the campaign that the villain in all of this is none other than
Hassan Al-Asad, the son of Khaled Al-Asad from Call of Duty 4. Over the
years and the events of Modern Warfare, Hassan has been secretly plotting his
revenge against our Protagonists, especially against Price, the man who killed
his father. I would say more, but hopefully you guys like this storyline that I
am building if there should be a Modern Warfare 4.
I found out some better plots online like this one:
Shepard actually survived the knife to the eye and is rebuilding Shadow Company and he plans to hunt down Price. Ghost survives and you get to play as him as well as Nikolai and maybe Price as you hunt down Shepard once you learn of him being alive.
Maybe they could incorporate both stories to make it even better?
Yeah I've heard about that rumour, where there's a stealth mission in Amsterdam.
If there's a mission in Amsterdam, please let me at least damage that POS football stadium

Clear message: Don't let down your guard
Our View is that you must remain diligent as parents, adults, teachers, et cetera. Who would think about their teenage daughters or friends trying to fly halfway around the world to join terrorists with IS? Still, it happened. We cannot let down our guard in teaching, warning and watching our impressionable youngsters. (October 31, 2014, Page 4A)
Let's be cautious – but not because Putin says so
It appears there could be a settlement in the issue of chemical weapons use in Syria. Maybe. Editor Don Whitten looks at the ongoing situation and Russian President Vladimir Putin's recently op-ed piece in The New York Times and urges caution regardless of what's being said or written. (September 16, 2013, Page 4A)
UN involvement in Syria not very impressive
The United Nations may end up being involved in the conflict over chemical weapons use in Syria, but not because of quick, decisive action on its part. Editor Don Whitten writes about the international governing body's action – or inaction – and how it affects the United States' eventual moves in the Middle East. (September 11, 2013, Page 4)
Syria – do we really want to get involved?
What do you know about Syria – other than the fact that it's the center of controversy and could spark military action from the United States and U.N.? Editor Don Whitten takes a closer look at the situation and wonders if this is the time to be getting involved in another military action. (August 29, 2013, Page 4)
Guns as targets in times of tragedy
Dr. Will Dabbs writes a guest column about gun use and gun control in light of the recent tragedy in Connecticut, noting that there are issues that need to be dealt with rather than almost immediately seeking a gun ban. (January 11, 2013, Page 4A)

This anti-Chinese made nonsense needs to stop. The K612 as well as others have been made in China for a while now, and no one I know has had any reliability or any sort of issue with them. As someone who directly compared a K612 with an Austrian made K712, there are no build differences whatsoever, headband differences aside. One can say the K612 is better than the K712, and I wouldn't be mad at that statement.
Then theres the fact that some of the most popular headphones are made in China like Hifiman, and some of the best built dac amps are also made there (Audio GD).
Just stop it already. It's a stupid, stupid prejudice and over generalization.
Ironic enough that the K812 is Austrian made, and has a lot more issues than I've ever seen with the K612 or K702.
It isn't being anti-Chinese, I was personally mentioning the new K702 and the older K702 having different build qualities in terms of materials used. I didn't say they were cheaper because they were made in China but rather there is a difference in the older Austrian made ones and the newer Chinese made ones. There were some people noting cheaper materials and plastics with the new K702s. This lies with AKG or likely more specifically with Harman. The the K612 vs K712 build quality can't really be used in comparing the old vs new K702s. Anyways the K612 was being both made in Austria and China when they were first made and maybe they still are, it's why some higher model number K612s are made in Austria while some lower number ones were made in China. I made no mention of the reliability or sound. No build difference? I own both the K712 and K612. The K712 is better made and is made of more robust and sturdier plastics and has an overall more solid and quality feel to it than the K612, the K612 feels a bit cheap compared to the K712. The build differences are pretty obvious between the two. Sound wise I can see people preferring one over the other. Both my K612 and K712 are Austrian made. I know there is no difference between in build quality between the Austrian and Chinese made K612 as I've seen and felt both side by side and they were identical.
What I'm worried about is AKG may cheap out a bit if they switch the production of the K712 over to a different factory and country. Maybe they are just doing what happened with the K612, just dividing the production between the Austrian and Chinese factory.
Hifiman and Audio GD are not the best examples to use in regards of AKG because they are founded in China companies. I'm well aware there are many well made Chinese products. What matters isn't where it's made but how well it's made. China does have a bad reputation because a lot of really cheap products come out of China. Also there is resentment among many people because many manufacturing jobs have been switched from their home country to China and other countries.

Book Reviews
Ann-Marie MacDonald gets very personal in latest novelAdult Onset marks a journey inward, away from author's epic scope
For Kids: A string of short stories, one letter at a timeAlphabet books are a staple of children's literature. We're all familiar with the basic "A is for apple, B is for bear" approach but some of us, myself included, revel in alphabet books that set themselves apart from the norm.
For Kids: A lesson to share that comes from underwearThe title alone is bound to elicit a laugh. But show your youngsters the cover illustration, and it's a safe bet they'll be clamouring to have you read this book aloud.
Letter: Arthur Porter's book was given too much publicityRe: " 'I wanted to see how high I could fly' " (Gazette, Sept. 10) So Arthur Porter has written a book. In it he makes claims about some well known politicians, yet the last three paragraphs of your story state there is not one shred of evidence for anything he has said and suggest it could very well be revenge on his part.
For Kids: Marie-Louise Gay has the answersAny Questions? is a lively mix of story, art.
Letter: D.A.D.'s could have found another locationRe: "From D.A.D.'s to Dollarama" (Your Views, Sept. 3) A letter expressing disappointment over the closure of D.A.D.'s bagels referred to "a large multinational like Dollarama." I am sure Dollarama would be pleased to consider themselves to be a multinational. Unfortunately, they could only do that if they considered Quebec a different country. Dollarama stores are all in Canada. Dollarama grew from Rossy stores, a rare Quebec success story.
Letter: Schools need money to update their librariesRe: "Quebec investing $19M in libraries" (Gazette, Aug. 22) Good for Quebec Culture Minister Hélène David for announcing that public libraries will receive financial aid to "replenish our libraries with new books, periodicals, multimedia documents, audio recordings, magazines and more."
For Kids: By the numbers, to the letterPicture books explore the world between A and Z, and between zero and infinite possibility.

AP Enterprise: Docs help make pot available in CA
SAN FRANCISCO Fourteen years since Californians passed the first-in-the-nation medical marijuana law, pot is not just for the sick. Hundreds of medical marijuana doctors, operating without official scrutiny, have helped make it available to nearly anyone who wants it.
They are practicing a lucrative and thriving specialty, becoming the linchpins of a billion-dollar industry. And yet they do not have to report to whom they recommend the drug to, how many referrals they give or for what ailments.
"There is something inappropriate about doctors being the gatekeepers," said Timmen Cermak, president of the California Society of Addiction Medicine. "They are secretaries here ... All they are doing is telling the police to keep their hands off."
As voters go to the polls Tuesday to decide if they want California to be the first to legalize recreational pot use and sales, the medical marijuana system they helped establish in 1996 has effectively become a legal cover to smoke pot.
The system also stands as a cautionary example for other states crafting their own laws. Among them are Arizona and South Dakota, which have medical marijuana on Tuesday's ballot.
Under California's law, medical doctors and osteopaths can recommend the drug for any illness "for which marijuana provides relief," a category that has come to encompass conditions such as alcoholism, anxiety, asthma and insomnia.
Obtaining approval in the other 13 states that allow pot for medical use is far more difficult.
Those states limit the drug to residents suffering from one or more specific serious conditions, such as AIDS or cancer. Most require patients to register, creating a paper trail for tracking both users and their physicians.
In California, however, there is no central database to track doctors or patients. Beyond a medical license, the pot physicians do not need to have any relevant training, familiarity with the scientific literature on pot's benefits and side-effects or special certification.
They can simply hang a shingle, and start practicing.
Because there are no reporting requirements, figuring out who these doctors are is difficult.
There are more than 100,000 licensed doctors in the state, and medical marijuana advocates estimate that roughly 1,500 of them have recommended pot to at least one patient.
Of those, advocates say, 400 to 500 doctors account for the majority of recommendations.
To identify them, The Associated Press scoured online directories maintained by marijuana advocacy groups; ads in alternative weeklies and pot-themed periodicals; and clinic websites. Interviews with clinic managers or doctors who own the clinics provided additional names.
The AP's list of 233 doctors is not exhaustive, nor can it be, given the lack of information with the state.
An analysis of the names and state medical board files showed that most marijuana doctors on the list have clean records.
But there were also 68 physicians who have run afoul of regulators. Some of the disciplinary actions against them included fraud, mis-prescribing drugs, abusing prescription or illicit drugs themselves, as well as and negligence.
The pot practitioners with blemished backgrounds include:
- A San Francisco doctor who received four years probation after she failed to heed a psychiatrist's request to reconsider her marijuana recommendation to a 19-year-old patient suffering from depression. The patient committed suicide six months later. The doctor now operates medical marijuana practices in eight cities. She declined to discuss the case.

Tablet Plus
The Standard High Line New York
848 Washington Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Meatpacking District
André Balazs's line of Standard hotels took its time getting to New York. Now it seems they were waiting for something big, and this is it — for a group that's made its name with clever renovations, a ground-up new build is a major undertaking.
The Standard looks more or less like a slightly bent UN building on stilts, straddling the High Line, the elevated former railway that's been turned into lower Manhattan's new green paradise. Even the interiors feel a bit utopian, decked out in a retro-future style that pays homage to Scandinavian mid-century modernism — a welcome departure from the faux-Romantic grittiness that seems to prevail in the Meatpacking District.
Bedrooms are compact, this being Manhattan, but they're made bigger by clever planning and expansive views — New Jersey, in particular, looks good from this angle. The bathrooms are raising eyebrows for their transparent lack of privacy, but this place is for lovers, not room-sharing businessmen or pairs of traveling missionaries.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability

Great airy room, very comfy bed, awesome shower, good food,
What the hotel could do better:
---Had TWO separate deliveries after midnight to my room that were to the wrong room.
---Was asked to leave the restaurant on two different situations to make room for a larger group (one time our bill was over $500)
---Was charged more than the Tablet quoted rates and had to call after my stay and have them fixed

What the hotel could do better:
My room was on the 14th floor and I could feel the beat from the club on the top floor. It woke me up at 12:30 and kept me awake. Probably best to live lower, but then the views aren't as nice.

With everyone seemingly packing up and rushing to get out of equity positions, things are getting rather crowded at the exits.
Low-Cost Vanguard Attracts Billions in Assets
Vanguard, one of the world's largest mutual fund companies, also has carved out a strong niche as a provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that fit the investment firm's focus on keeping its management expenses low.
Global Growth Shakes up Investors
On Tuesday, the IMF lowered its global growth forecast for 2015, while also issuing a warning about the risks posed by increasing geopolitical tensions, as well as by an equity market trading at what it described as "frothy" levels.
PowerShares Fund Screens Quality Holdings for You
A typical ETF weights its holdings based on market capitalization, while a smart beta fund is weighted according to less visible, though still important, criteria.
The Shifting Tides of the Third Quarter
To be a good surfer, you need to know how to read the sea. When it comes to your money, similar knowledge makes you a better investor.
This Exchange-Traded Fund is All about Revenues
Over time there is nothing better than investing in companies bringing in big bucks, and that's precisely what the RevenueShares Large Cap Fund (RWL) has been designed to do.
Global Climate Change, ETF Style
Over the weekend, we got several reports out of China that indicated that the world's second-largest economy now is backsliding on its targeted growth rate in the 7.5% annual range. Then there's the continued slowdown in Europe, which has put downward pressure on the region's economy and on the equity markets of the European Union (EU).
Sail Smoothly with This Smart Low-Volatility Fund
Volatility, the potential for the market or a stock to swerve sharply in value, serves as a deterrent for many prospective investors.
A Trip Around the World with Four Key ETFs
All we need to look at is four key ETFs that will tell us what need to know about what's going on in the major markets around the globe.
Consider Investing in Dividend Dandies
A key reason a person might invest in a smart beta fund would be to use the fund's formula to invest more heavily in quality equities that are underrepresented in a typical market-cap-weighted exchange-traded fund (ETF). One quality indicator in a stock is whether or not it issues a dividend.
A Red-Hot August for ETF Inflows
What can you say about the world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) besides the fact that they are just red hot?
Demystifying 'Smart Beta' Funds
Although "smart beta" funds also follow a passive index like other ETFs, the smart beta funds do so in ways besides the traditional market-cap-weighted approach.
Will September Bring Back the Volatility?
Back to work means back to big trading volume, and I suspect that means we could see a return of volatility.
Leveraging Bulls and Bears in Russia
Investing in a way that is counter-cyclical to other investors' fears can bring great profits, particularly when investing through a triple-leveraged fund.
My Three Red-Hot MoneyShow ETFs
Now, since our last Weekly ETF Report, there hasn't been much of a sense of disaster in the markets. In fact, it's been quite the opposite, which actually is a worry in itself.
Russian Small Caps are a Contrarian Pick
Due to Russian President Vladimir Putin's shenanigans and the ongoing Ukraine situation, many Western investors are fleeing Russia. However, contrarian investors view this as an excellent opportunity to enter the Russian market on the cheap.

Area law enforcement agencies were rarely called upon to handle the influx of motorcyclists and visitors during Ohio Bike Week.
More than 45 motorcycle-related incidents happened during the 10-day event, according to reports from the Erie County Sheriff, Ohio State Highway Patrol and police in Huron, Perkins and Sandusky.
Bike Week was June 3-12.
There was one death as a result of a motorcycle crash that week: Michael Tracht, 27, of Huron.
Tracht died June 6 after he lost control of his Harley-Davidson at a curve on U.S. 6 near Rye Beach Road. He was thrown from his motorcycle and landed in a ditch.
Considering more than 100,000 people attended the festivities, crime and violence was at a minimum, said Steve Ernst, president of Advantage Entertainment and the organizer of Ohio Bike Week.
"The problems that we had were very minimal," Ernst said. "We had a very self-policing crowd. We didn't have many problems to speak of."
The presence of police and security staff at Ohio Bike Week venues -- such as the Erie County Fairgrounds and downtown Sandusky -- likely played a big role in reducing crime, Erie County Sheriff's Capt. Paul Sigsworth said.
"Sometimes the uniform presence is enough to keep crime from occurring," Sigsworth said. "These events have been fairly trouble-free."
The Erie County Fair board paid the sheriff's office $3,600 to monitor the fairgrounds, Sigsworth said.
Sandusky police also had 20 officers patrol downtown during the second weekend -- June 10-12 -- which is often the busiest time for Bike Week.
Among Sandusky's officers were nine new reserve officers hired in April. They were stationed at various posts downtown from Thursday to late Saturday.
"Everybody that I saw was very well behaved," Sandusky interim police Chief Jim Lang said. "I just thought it was a pretty calm bunch."
Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers responded to at least two motorcycle wrecks involving three suspected drunken drivers.
Both wrecks were in Margaretta Township.
The first was at about 5 p.m. June 10 on U.S. 6 near McCartney Road. Steve Martin, 42, of Twinsburg, was driving a motorcycle that ran into a motorcycle driven by Douglas Rocco, 44, of Sycamore, dispatchers said.
Rocco and Martin were both charged with operating a vehicle under the influence. Martin was also cited for failure to maintain assured clear distance.
The second wreck was just after 8 p.m. Saturday.
Bellevue resident Gregg Pressler, 29, was driving a motorcycle east on Heywood Road when he lost control near Maple Avenue, dispatchers said.
The motorcycle overturned, causing Pressler and his passenger, Julie Eggert, 41, of Huron, to fall off the bike.
Pressler was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence and failure to maintain reasonable control. Eggert was taken to Firelands Regional Medical Center for treatment, dispatchers said.
The last weekend of Bike Week was busy, but there were no other major crashes, Highway Patrol dispatchers said.

If you can automate a step in the development process, you should do so. That step can be the get (check-in) process from the source control software. In this article, I am trying to explain how to automate the Visual SourceSafe get process using a DOS batch file.
The batch file I created is shown below, and yours should look something like it. I used my favorite batch file editor, Notepad, but you can use any text editor, including Visual Studio.
Remember to change the names of the directories depending on where you have created the solution and where your Visual SourceSafe database is.
@echo off
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
rem: set the source safe database
set SSDIR=\\saserver\VSS
rem: set the working directory for the source safe database root project
ss Workfold $ E:\VSS -Y%2,%3
rem:change to the directory where all the projects work is
cd E:\VSS\%1
rem: get the latest version of the source files from source safe
ss get *.dll $%1 -I- -Y%2,%3
rem: Back to original folder
cd E:\VSS\Projects\ApplicationDesigner\ImplementSet\SA.App.Designer
The getApp.bat batch file uses the get.bat file to get the various folders as follows:
@echo off
call get.bat "Projects\ApplicationDesigner\ImplementSet\ExternalLibrary" ansari 123
call get.bat "Projects\CustomerService\ImplementSet\Release 1.0\
Presenter\ExternalLibrary" ansari 123
call get.bat "Projects\CustomerService\ImplementSet\Release 1.0\
WinUI\ExternalLibrary" ansari 123
call get.bat "Services\Common\ImplementSet\WinUI2007\ExternalLibrary" ansari 123

Cellular South Says New Law That Bans Texting for Some Teenagers a 'Good First Step'
Wireless Carrier Urges State Lawmakers To Pass Legislation Prohibiting All Motorists From Texting While Driving
"This is a good first step in
Under Senate Bill 2280 signed by Gov. Barbour, drivers with an intermediate license, a learning permit or a temporary driving permit – mostly 15 and 16 year olds – would be prohibited from texting from their cell phone while driving. The bill also adds six months to the length of time teenagers must wait before they receive driver's licenses.
Violators of the texting ban, which takes effect
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
"We believe in safe, sensible and limited use of a cell phone when you're behind the wheel," Richmond said. "As a driver, your No. 1 priority should always be operating the vehicle safely and since texting clearly interferes with that ability, it should not be allowed," he added. "We hope the Legislature and Gov. Barbour will consider imposing a complete text messaging ban while driving for all motorists during next year's session."
