Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Gram Rabbit -- a duo, not a single soul -- is slightly out to confuse. If the cover of their third album was anything to go by, some sort of cabaret/retro-circus music might be in the cards, a cleaned up Tom Waits or Marianne Faithful perhaps. Instead, the album starts with the song "American Hookers," where the kind of clunky industrial arrangements lots of bands borrowed from early Nine Inch Nails as glam metal was dying out in L.A. rub up against keyboards that sometimes sound a bit on the cheap and cheery side (though the piano break halfway through is nice enough). It's a not-entirely-promising start to things, frankly, though Jesika Von Rabbit's singing is fair, sounding a bit like Toni Halliday of Curve but without that band's stellar presence ("Shiny Monster" later gets close with the feedback, but only just). From there RadioAngel and the RobotBeat, a title apparently meant to represent Von Rabbit and bandmate Todd Rutherford, respectively, makes its fairly unremarkable way -- it's not a failure per se, but it seems strangely out of time, as if it was beamed in from early-'90s L.A. directly rather than trying to revive a sound per se. The band's rhythms are just too stiff and unremarkable to stand out, even amid a host of bands that have cleverly hijacked that style to create something more fluid in recent years. "In My Book" almost takes off a bit, with Rutherford's own OK-enough singing suiting the pulse of the song, but the synth horns sound horrible, while the attempt at rapping is clunkier than even most of nu-metal was able to manage. If this group had appeared on a bill with Concrete Blonde and Liquid Jesus twenty years back, nobody would have batted an eye, and if they ended up opening for the Lovemakers, it would be about what could be expected. But that's about all to say. ~ Ned Raggett

Filmed on location at Norton's Manufacturing site at Donnington Park and produced to showcase Clarks collaboration with Norton Motorcycles in developing a range of footwear, the film celebrates the creative partnership, collaboration and heritage connection between these two classic British brands.
The film demonstrates how the hand crafted nature of each product made these two iconic brands to be a perfect fit.
This powerful and thought provoking film was produced for Amey, one of the UK's largest and most diverse companies in the public and regulated sector, for their "Target Zero" campaign.
The aim of the campaign was to reinforce their health and safety objective of 'keeping people safe everyday' and show how every level of employee has a responsibility, motivating staff to think more seriously about the consequences of their actions.
The Village is an internal site which is accessed by over 20,000 Santander employees and is now home to opinion polls, forums, blogs and breaking news.
The site is fully content managed and maintained by our own dedicated team and has more than tripled in size and content since its conception.
For the very first employee recognition awards ceremony that the hotel group had ever seen, Carlson Rezidor briefed fresh to develop a truly memorable event with a strong identity. fresh developed the event identity of Hollywood glamour and fully themed and dressed the venue to compliment this theme, along with entertainment, papparazzi, singing waiters, print collateral and surprise bespoke gifts for winners. fresh also provided full on site event management and AV support on the night.
The event was so successful that it will be delivered again in 2015.
fresh designed and built an 88sqm exhibition stand for Titan International that was installed at one of the world's leading tyre fairs – REIFEN 2014 Messe Essen, Germany. This year's event housed 670 exhibitors from 44 countries across 10 halls, and with 19,000 expected visitors we needed to create a stand. fresh also created a loop from existing Titan footage for simultaneous output across both screens on the stand as well as an email signature that was used pre-event by Titan employees to promote their presence at the show.
After a competitive pitch process, Nikken appointed fresh as their creative agency to deliver their 2014 Sales Materials. fresh have worked collaboratively with Nikken to produce a creative solution for the Nikken Europe Product Brochure whilst also creating a new bespoke Consultant Handbook.

fresh were appointed to design and deliver Visit England's exhibition stand at World Routes, Chicago 2014. fresh took the brief from its initial stages and developed a bespoke stand design, and oversaw installation and delivery of the stand in Chicago. fresh sourced skilled union labour for the installation in Chicago, ensuring that the strict union labour regulations in the US were adhered to at all times. The stand also included a private meeting room for pre-arranged meetings to take place in. It was a very successful event and we received great feedback from the client.
fresh were appointed to design and deliver an exhibition stand for Marketing Manchester, who are charged with promoting Manchester on an international scale at the World Routes show in Chicago, September 2014. fresh took the brief from its initial stages and developed a bespoke stand design and oversaw the installation and delivery of the event in Chicago. The stand featured a unique meeting room space for pre-arranged appointments and ad-hoc meetings, along with a hospitality counter. It was a very successful event and we received great feedback from the client.
fresh delivered an exhibition stand for Click distribution in January 2014, a 3 day event taking place at Olympia London.

These have included branding and design elements for an Alcohol Awareness campaign over Christmas, multiple Meet the Manager roadshows at Merseyrail stations around Liverpool, a Safety Within Stations campaign, the branding of Aintree station during the Grand National and also some football themed activities within Liverpool Central to create a 'World Cup Plaza'. These projects have utilised numerous fresh divisions.
M&S turned to fresh to create their most impactful stand yet at the Baby Show! Held at the NEC over 3 days, M&S were present for the fourth consecutive year with fresh designing the stand managing the build and providing brand ambassadors for the event.
fresh ensured the design and layout of the stand was consistent with the brand's in-store look and feel, while reflecting the atmosphere and ambience of the event itself.

Two simultaneous events took place, which included group presentations, a substantial supplier expo, gala dinner and working group sessions. fresh looked after the logisitics, production, supplier management, creative, film and digital aspects of the event.
Wonderwall is a fresh-conceived digital art installation, that drew in the crowds with something visually dynamic at the 2011 Santander Convention which we delivered for them. The screens showed life-size images of Santander UK's senior management team and the images then reacted, interactively, to key questions asked by delegates using touch screens. During the day's event, over 1,000 delegates cast votes to highlight questions and 6,000 video clips were viewed. This is a measure of the way Wonderwall captured the imagination and interest of delegates.

HD Sky TV advert for American Golf. Sounds simple doesn't it? What fresh delivered was a stunningly shot and well conceived advert that took two weeks from conception, storyboarding and filming through to all post-production and eventual transmission.
Not only did it result in more Callaway clubs flying off their shelves but American Golf (whom we love by the way) have commissioned fresh for further adverts coming to an HD ready screen near you soon!
Cheshire Oaks is the second largest M&S store in the country and is the flagship store in the north of England. It's a purpose built, standalone store which has created huge interest and excitement due to its innovative build and energy saving credentials.

As I understand it, what was actually happening was that I had 4GB free disk space which wrapped the 32bit int, and by increasing the swapfile changed the amount of freespace - Cargo-cult tech support at it's best!

Wavetable Matching of Pitched Inharmonic Instrument Tones
Wavetable matching is the process of finding the parameters needed to resynthesize a musical instrument tone using wavetable synthesis. The most important parameters are the wavetable basis spectra. Previous wavetable matching has often assumed the original tone was harmonic or nearly harmonic. This assumption does not hold for instruments such as the plucked strings. A semiautomated process has recently been proposed to group the partials based on their normalized frequency deviations, and then match each group. However, the user must adjust the group size manually to find the best match. The method is also inefficient at matching harmonic instruments. A new method for hierarchically grouping partials with similar normalized frequency deviations is introduced. Ordinary wavetable matching then finds the basis spectra for individual groups. The new method is fully automatic and requires no prior knowledge about the inharmonicity of the tone. Results for 18 instrument tones show that the new method slightly improves the perceived match on harmonic tones and greatly improves the perceived match on pitched inharmonic tones.

text: GamesBeat Try before you buy: Nintendo issues 5,000 Wii U kiosks November 5, 2012 11:29 AM Jeff Grubb 0 Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. The U.S. is less than two weeks away from a new console launch, and retailers are starting to get demo units that'll help consumers decide if they need to get one on launch day. Nintendo's Wii U hardware, which replaces the Wii console, debuts Nov. 18 and starts at $299.99. The Japanese video game giant announced today that it is sending out 5,000 demo kiosks to retailers like Target, Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, and Toys 'R' Us so that gamers can get their hands on the new Wii U and its GamePad controller. The GamePad is like a typical console joystick, only it has a 6.2-inch touchscreen embedded in its center. To learn more about the Wii U and its capabilities, read our guide with all the important information. The GamePad is the new marquee feature. Nintendo plans to introduce many new types of gameplay mechanics that involve using this unusual console-gaming device. The demo kiosks are part of convincing people that this works and that the Wii U is something that they should want. Some of the retail stations will have fully playable hardware while others will have non-interactive video displays. The playable units feature games like New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land, which the publisher designed for the GamePad. Nintendo includes a copy of Nintendo Land packed in with the $349.99 deluxe version of the Wii U console. You can find the retailer nearest you with a playable station by using this tool on Nintendo.com.

Clock ticking for Aiken, Astros
Rumors abound as deadline to sign a pro contract approaches
Fact: Aiken's fastball was clocked at 98 mph in a early June playoff loss to Granite Hills. He struckout 13 in six innings in that game, an eight-inning loss.
Rumor: Since the draft, Aiken has been working out and throwing all his pitches on a regular basis.
Fact: Picks two through 13 from the draft have signed. High school right-hander Tyler Kolek - the second pick - signed for $6 million, $821,000 below slot. North Carolina State left-hander Carlos Rodon - the third pick - signed for $6.582 million - $860,000 over slot.
Fact: Since the draft was implemented in 1965, only one first overall selection has failed to sign. High school catcher Danny Goodwin was taken No. 1 overall by the Chicago White Sox in 1971. He went to Southern University. Four years later, he was taken first overall by the Angels.

This can be done by a number of biological, biochemical, and synthetic methods.
In a biological approach, living organisms are used to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen; thus the term biophotolysis. However, the liberation of molecular oxygen generally inhibits the activity of hydrogenases, the biological enzymes that produce molecular hydrogen. Thus, an important task for research in this area is to find species or mutations with hydrogenases that are effective in the presence of oxygen. One option is to produce the hydrogen and oxygen separately, as has been done with cultures of a blue-green alga. However, in all known cases of biophotolysis the rate of hydrogen production is extremely small, and great progress will be required before practical conversion schemes can be designed.
In a biochemical approach, enzyme systems would be obtained from biological organisms and then combined in an appropriate reaction cell to perform all the steps involved in collecting energy and driving the water-decomposing reactions. Production of hydrogen, at least at low rates for short periods of time, has been demonstrated, but more basic research on the biochemical mechanisms of photosynthesis, and inventive ideas for incorporating molecular components into systems, will be required for this technique ever to become practical.
In a synthetic approach, a complete chemical or electrochemical system for photolysis would be designed and synthesized without using any components taken from plants or algae. This has a great potential advantage in that problems of instability of biological components would be avoided. There are some promising ideas about the form such chemical systems might take, and some electrochemical systems have been demonstrated in the laboratory, but this must be considered a long-term research problem.
The achievement of a practical technology for photochemical conversion to produce fuels will depend on significant advances in our fundamental understanding of primary photochemical processes and the subsequent processes involved in the transfer of the energy of electronic excitation to stable chemical products. Experiments performed thus far on biochemical systems have suffered from very low efficiencies (often less than 0.1 percent) and from instability of the reactant systems. Some electrochemical systems have shown higher efficiencies, at least for short periods of operation. The difficulties to be overcome in the development of a practical technology of photochemical conversion are formidable. However, the potential rewards are great.
Theoretical considerations indicate that efficient photochemical processes should be possible. The attainable conversion efficiency might be on the order of 20–30 percent, based on incident solar energy.40–41 With this efficiency, which is more than 10 times the efficiency probably to be

Guess which Slowpoke finally beat Y
by, 11th November 2013 at 06:16 PM (1045 Views)
This guy.
As of today, I have beaten Pokemon Y. And yes, it has practically taken me almost an entire month to beat the game, whereas pretty much everyone else and their mom have already beaten the game eons before me. If it weren't for my insistence on EV training a whole team through Super Training early on, which probably took me the most time out of anything in the game, plus other things preoccupying my time, I probably would have beaten the game a lot sooner. Though I will say EV training has been very worth it, and I'm very glad that Game Freak included such a feature, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered EV training at all.
It saddens me to think though that in the next generation, Game Freak will in all likelihood just drop Super Training like so many other features before. Like the Pokegear/PokeNav/VS Recorder, Pokemon Contests (not the most widely praised thing, but many people still liked it), seasons and even gender differences by not including as many new ones as they did back with DPP. I argued before when XY was still in development that seasons would not make a return knowing how GF is, or at least not in the way as they were in BW, and a lot of people told me otherwise. But look at that, no seasons in XY. It seems all too likely with Game Freak that they will drop Super Training too, and it's a real shame, I really liked that feature. Pokemon-Amie I can care less about if it didn't return, and I can see Syvleon being retconned to evolving by friendship with fairy type move, though I also cannot deny that I really enjoyed Pokemon-Amie for what it was worth. Makes me also wonder how or even if they're going to 'keep' Mega Evolutions in the next gen.
But letting that slide and getting back to the main topic, I beat the E4 and Champion and can finally try out the Friend Safari, and maybe try to actively hunt for shiny Pokemon now. All of my friends have at least one except for me. Even with the easier chance of encountering one now, I still apparently have the worst luck with it.
Today is also my birthday, though frankly I could care less about it. Today is just another regular day to me.

Yankee stadium is buzzing right now as the 2010 Yankees lead George Steinbrenner's family toward center field to unveil a new monument. It is an emotional time for all of them, I'm sure, as Steinbrenner will finally be immortalized as one of the all-time greats.
Wait a second…what is this? Is that who I think it is?
Is that Don Mattingly stepping out of the dugout?
And wait! Who is that older Italian gentlemen? No, it's not. No way.
As if they had almost popped out of nowhere, both Joe Torre and Don Mattingly begin walking the trail of the warning track, simultaneously waving to the Yankee Stadium crowd who hadn't seen them in New York for nearly three years.
Although it was an emotional moment all around, this moment continues to bring up a number of questions that still haven't been answered. For example:
1. Is Torre's Yankees resume still worth all the hype?
2. Should we still like him, even though he wrote a book almost degrading the Yankee teams he managed?
3. Will he end up in the same location as Mr. Steinbrenner?
The answer for the first two is easy: YES!!!
When "The Yankee Years" first came out, a good percentage of the Yankees crowd--both fans and former players--turned against Torre. Not only was it hatred over some of the comments regarding active and non-active players, such as the A-Rod "Single white female" comment, but the legitimacy of his managing credentials came under fire.
Message boards from both yesterday's news and today's, continue to debate this question. Was Torre actually a good manager? Or was it the fact that he was already managing a tremendous team put together by Buck Showalter and Gene Michael that made him great?
Here's where the question gets answered with ease.
You know the man who was immortalized in bronze last night in Monument Park? George Steinbrenner?
Joe Torre had to work for him.
And not only did he work for him, but he SUCCEEDED year after year.
While reading Joel Sherman's "Birth of a Dynasty," I came across a phrase that I think describes Joe Torre's demeanor better than anything else can.
At any time, Torre can hit somebody with a "calm bomb."
Unlike other managers during the Steinbrenner era, most notably Billy Martin, Joe Torre did not confront his boss or players; he made his point, and reassured him that things will work out. By doing this, Torre would get his way, and in an even more positive trend, he would help calm his players down.
One of the better Torre-Steinbrenner stories I've read about was one from the 1996 World Series going into Game 2. After losing the first game, Torre told Steinbrenner that they probably won't win Game 2 at home (Greg Maddux was pitching that night for the Braves), but they will sweep Atlanta on the road.
They did exactly that, then won Game 6 at home to clinch Steinbrenner's first Championship since 1978.
Torre, in that case, did not promise Mr. Steinbrenner anything he did not believe himself, which was one of his better attributes during his reign as manager.
At the same time, I think Yankee fans can all agree that after 2004 Joe Torre was over the hill as manager. He was dealing with a bunch of players (see: Gary Sheffield, Kenny Lofton) who were of a different breed (I don't mean black, like they want you to believe in reference to a Torre comment they made a few years back), and didn't really work too well under his guidance.
Being the calm and somewhat laid back manager that he was, he wasn't able to give Robinson Cano or Melky Cabrera the kick-start that Joe Girardi was/has been able to under his term as manager.
As he said yesterday regarding his last few seasons as manager, "you had two parties not knowing how to say goodbye."
The Yankees needed to move on, but it was impossible to move on from somebody who is easily put into the top four of best Yankees managers of all-time, a list including Miller Huggins, Joe McCarthy, and Casey Stengel.
But that poses the third question: Will Joe Torre have his number retired?
Many columnists, including the Daily News' Mike Lupica, say it very matter-of-factly that he will be enshrined in Monument Park, as if there is no question to it.
You look at the two most recent "great" managers, Stengel and Billy Martin, and both of their numbers are retired.
I personally have no opinion about this, because I admit I was one of the people a few years ago who hated Latroy Hawkins for wearing Paul O'Neill's #21 (And still do; but then again, I also believe that if Mark Teixeira took that number, I would be more than happy with it).
The only thing I can say is that if Joe Torre does, in fact, retire after this season, his chances are very good of having his number retired very soon.
There's that and the fact that besides the number 6, the only single digit Yankee number left is already set to be retired, and that player still has a few years left before he'll call it quits…

Not a card holder....

Comments about Baudville Star Pen & Card Holder - You Make the Difference:
I would like to see how this item holds business cards. Business cards don't fit and awkwardly hit the pen. The pen is beautiful, but the stand could be a bit more sturdy. I keep this propped against a wall/cabinet. It's nice but the cavernous part of the star (for business cards) is useless.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I can only wonder, "Why do people deny the obvious?"
What benefit is it to them, to deny that there are more cheaters than they will ever realize?
Why insult others who point out this fact, as if they're complaining? It is not a complaint to simply say "Cheaters exist. It's a fact." yet you will be insulted by those in denial. Why?
For as long as video games have been invented, there have been cheaters.
Whether it's a gold-duping bug or buying from chinese gold farmers, players in MMORPG's have hoarded gold with little effort.
Whether it's an aim bot, wall hack, or retexturing of models, FPS games have had cheaters.
Whether it's the ever notorious Punkbuster or a custom built anti-cheat software, it is always 1 step behind cheaters.
Whether or not you ban someone, is nothing more than a joke ever since the idea of a proxy was invented. Cheaters who can recover back to their former glory with a new account, because they are cheaters and it's easy.
You cannot deny this fact.
Hell, you want to talk about cheating? Developers don't even care anymore.
Take a look at Payday 2, a game that just released. Players can literally press "INSERT" on their keyboard while in a mission, and instantly get up to level 100. A feat which often requires over 100 hours of gameplay.
Granted it's not as big of a deal as cheating in a competitive game like a MMORPG, but the inclusion of Client-Side hit detection with little verification in Planetside 2, is quite laughable. Yes, they did it to help with performance. However, cheating is quite rampant. I say this not from my own experience, but by the simple fact that certain games designed certain ways will make cheating easier: such as client-side game logic.
Yet even in "professional" tournaments, people cheat.
(Exerpt) "One team was cleared of all misconduct, three were issued warnings for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Korean team Azubu Frost was fined 20% of its winnings."
Login or Register to never see this panel
It's quite simple as to why developers don't care anymore. They can't win and they'll never win. To compete against a hacker who's breaking into their game they have to pay money. A hacker isn't hired to hack a program they do it for free and then are able to sell the cheat(s) to people who want to exploit the game.
While I know that developers for the most part have given up on defeating them with anti-cheat software. I wonder why they haven't actually just used a MAC address ban to get rid of the majority of cheaters. Most people don't know how to spoof a MAC address so it'll be easy to get rid of the riff raff that buy their way into cheating. This can also be done with people who are botting in MMORPGs.

He has a point.
Back in my Quake days I was pretty good with the Railgun and almost every night I had to put up with people calling me a bot. There are two types of players - good players who can spot genuine cheating and bad players who assume everyone that beats them is a bot. In my experience there are orders of magnitude more of the latter which are the ones in denial.
Originally posted by Mtibbs1989
I completely agree that banning MAC addresses would be much better than banning a changeable or spoofable IP address, it would not take very long for the cheating software to include a simple button to change your MAC address.
I fully understand cheating, and the fun or giggles you can have while cheating. However, I don't understand why cheaters in competitive games (like the FPS genre) would share their cheats. If I had to program all of that by myself, I would most likely not share it with anyone but my close friends.
Oh wait... money. I forget they probably make money from releasing the cheats. Nevermind.
What % of cheaters actually cheated and what % are the "defense mechanism" of the guy who just lost.
Cheating in mmos is about as common as lag causing a death ;)
I've personally quit FPS games all together due to the high amount of cheaters that run rampant in these games. It's disgusting how many people feel the need to cheat. If I do play a FPS I typically do LANs with friends that I know don't cheat. It seems that's the only way for me to have fun with these games. For things like MMOs a hacker typically isn't very bothersome. Botting for the most part is easily about to be ignored and most botting programs are easy enough to break by screwing up the way they work. By stealing their kills or hording monsters to the botter.
It's quite a shame that I've left FPSs because I'm quite fond of them. I use to play with a few competitive teams for league based matches like CAL or TWL. But I've moved on because of the rampant amount of cheaters. It doesn't even have to be a hack to cheat the system I know for a fact that even several of my own team mates were disqualified from a competition for using hardware that would give them an advantage over their opponent. Like a mouse that would allow for rapid shooting.

I actually don't find it to be very common for people to be accused of cheating. Even when I have had or played with people who have scores like 60:2, it isn't a common complaint that they're cheating. If it is, the player simply accuses them once before rage quitting.
You're definitely right about there being a huge difference though. Good players can easily spot cheaters, because those players who are good can get utterly dominated by cheaters in a way that no real player ever could.
I can always tell if the person is a good player or a cheater, based on the extent at which they're better than me. Being someone who has played for so long and actually played against tournament players, it's a world of difference. Playing against a tournament player, you lose, but it's not a facepalm loss. In fact, a good player can actually geek them a few times even if they ultimately lose. That is because pro players are not enormously advanced beyond good players, they are just better than them by a bit, or if a great player maybe by double or triple at most.
Meanwhile, cheaters are not "twice as good" or triple the skill of a great player. They are 10x-100x faster, 10x more accurate, 10x more damaging, 10x more predicting, etc. When a great player fights a pro tourny player and loses by about 1:2, and then fights someone and loses by 0:10, it's pretty obvious. It is highly unlikely that the latter is the world's best pro player, and just happens to have never entered any tournaments.
What gets me sometimes though, are stealthy cheaters. Those who cheat, but do so intelligently so as to not get reported. They turn their cheating on/off. Sometimes you can tell, by how absolutely awful they are with their cheats off, while how amazing they are with them on. Once accused, they turn it off immediately and play normally, maybe even dying on purpose to avoid suspicion. I find it humorous sometimes when I discover how bad they actually are. "Wow, really? No wonder you cheat, lol." That, and sometimes they will tell you what program they use when you chat them up after becoming friends :P
I remember back in the 90's, everyone had cheats even if they didn't use them. If they spotted a cheater, they would turn on their cheats to compete with the cheater. It was kindof interesting, as the other cheater would usually leave because their cheats no longer gave them an advantage.

I know for a fact that the vast majority of players people play against (who are cheating) bought their hacks online. Most people aren't smart enough to do such things. So it's easy to say that many of the people you're playing against are just sore losers tired of losing who's just looking for a way to grief everyone else.
Unfortunately you're probably right about the hackers adding a feature that'll simply spoof a MAC address.

Lag is actually a lot more common than most people realize.
I remember a friend bragging about how "This server we moved to, is lag free!" and would always say things like "There is no lag LOL it's lag free."
Unfortunately, he just couldn't tell the difference between 50ms and 20ms. I however, definitely could. Hell, my scores could tell you. I tried to explain to him how it's similar to console games where the host has 0ms, because he admitted that the host always had a huge advantage in those games. It didn't work, as he still acted like there was no lag.
I read forums all the time about people saying stuff like,
"I don't have lag, and it says 300ms."
"I don't lag at all, it's super smooth. I'm running at 22fps."
That kind of stuff kills me. Unfortunately, they don't know how truly different it is when you run <20ms and >60fps. There is a reason that scores correlate strongly with latency.
So to you I say: You may jest, but you probably fail to realize how lag truly does cause death in MMO's as much as cheaters thrive in some games.
If you don't believe me, try doing some research. Log into random FPS servers (a genre where latency matters the most) where you can view people's pings. Now, record all of the data- K:D ratio, to Ping. If you want, include Score total or exclude camping snipers (outliers). It won't really matter.
After awhile the data will show that on average, those with lower latency will tend to have a higher score.

The only flaw with that is, your avg player thinks they're above avg. Just about every person you fight thinks they're avg or better. 70+% of them think they're better than avg.
So how does a "good" player judge skill when they can't accurately judge their own.
Originally posted by DamonVile
What research or study do you have that proves, or even suggests, that "just about every person you fight thinks they're average or better."?
From what I see, there are a lot of people who make statements like, "Wow lol, I really suck today." or "Sorry guys, I'm new so I suck."
In relation to my less skilled friends: When my friends do bad, they understand they're doing bad. When they do better than normal, they understand they're still not very good. They do not have this supposed "illusion of better than average" that you claim exists among "just about every person".
Also, how did you come up with the number 70%?
Once I understand the research, I will then be better able to form a rebuttal and answer your question. I'm a bit lost without it.

People do cheat, but its not very common, and its usually fairly easy to spot if you're an experienced gamer.
EDIT: Exploits are a lot more common than real cheating.

I use to love how skilled I was at playing FPSs. I've personally been banned from many servers on COD:MW for false accusations and use to take pride in it. I remember one of the last times I played a FPS was in COD:MW. I use to go into a specific server quite frequently and whenever I went into that server I knew I was being watch after a few minutes because one of their admins/moderators would log off after a short period of time. After about 30-45 minutes they pulled me aside and claimed I was cheating based on the rate in which I was moving my camera around. They stated that they, "felt drunk while watching my screen" when they stated that I got a nice little chuckle out of it. Eventually they banned me from their server because they didn't like significant difference in skill level.
Anyways, you're absolutely right about a good player who's able to spot a cheater vs. an extremely skilled player. Hackers typically fire their guns in exact locations; typically aiming at the head for the quickest kill.
It's also easy to tell who's a cheater by gauging how soon someone pre-fires before turning a corner. Things like a Chameleon hack or X-ray hack allow the hacker to be able to see through objects to predict exactly where someone's at on the map.
I in no way think this is scientific or accurate, but I have asked it many many...many times over the years on forums I frequent and it's always the same basic trend. The above avg votes are always the lions share of votes. It's just human nature to think that way. If you ignore what people actually vote and look at above and below the middle point it's kind of funny to see the results, but not unexpected.
I've also asked the opposite question " what do you think the avg gamers skill lvl is " and it's always the same as well. Poor or below avg. ( it's a trick question of course because the skill lvl is...avg. :) )
Avg is of course a meaningless term because I never give it any type of defining level. I just want to know what people think of themselves not what their actual skill level is.

True, it's one thing to click a button and blatantly state, "I'm better than everyone" without any evidence. However, if that same said person can back their claim as to why/how they're better than the average person then you cannot deny that they're actually better than the average gamer.

By using a system like ELO to rank a team based game it shows no accurate statistical information for a single players individual skill level.

Who denies it? Aside from the company most competitive players actually discuss cheaters. Of course the companies dont like it cause its bad PR but the players in general dont mind talking about it.

I think goldtoof's assessment is right. You're probably just bad at FPS.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Celebrating crazy 1970's decor
I was born in the 1970's, but I have to admit, that is the one decade that I find absolutely putrid in terms of interior design.
Brown, orange, avocado, and yellow in god-awful, screaming loud patterns – YUCK!
What were they thinking back then?
Pretty hideous stuff, even for us here at House Crazy. But if nothing else, the style of the '70's celebrated and embraced pure, outrageous F-U-N.
So what the heck, let's celebrate the decade of my birth – in design!
The 1970's gave us The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Clockwork Orange, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. What do all those iconic films have in common?
Yes, they were all hugely focused on crazy.
(I was going to throw The Shining in there, but that didn't come out until 1980. Jack Nicholson did crazy well.)
So it makes perfect sense that House Crazy Sarah was born in the decade of neurosis!
I may as well just embrace it.
Gotta love those ever popular faux wood panel walls:
Chunky, colorful carpet was the bomb…
Heck, even in the bathroom…
Yep, that is brown carpet in the loo!
Carpet, carpet everywhere…
And loud, obnoxious wallpaper…
But how about those kitchens…
What's not to love?
Of course, we'll probably look back in 30 years and say of today's design trends:
'What were we thinking? Turquoise walls, straw rugs, and ceramic animal heads?!'
[Thanks to Marie for sending me some of the above sources!]

I was a teen in those days. Shag carpet everywhere! haha. We thought it was so cool. The only thing I take away from those days is the early american furniture and the brick on the walls with the built in ovens, which I love.
Why am I looking for Austin Powers.lol
They were drug crazed back then. Anything that would add to the effects of acid. So the regular folks that weren't in the drug induced media and fashion industry could still only buy what they felt looked OK. The putrid vomit colored 70s were just like the vomit burnt colored 90s that had no color in it at all. But decades were burnt colored mute tones with no life in color. BLAH!
Both decades I mean. Sorry, learning to type on this laptop.
The scary part is that when we decorated our houses like this, we thought they looked pretty good!

Yet their decisions are veiled in mystery and cheapened by conflicts of interest.
Eman Galal, a 26-year-old English teacher is veiled and dressed in loose fitting clothes.
Through the years, I often thought: Am I really just seeking revenge, veiled in a cloak called justice?
early 13c., from Anglo-French and Old North French veil (Old French voile) "a head-covering," also "a sail," from Latin vela, plural of velum "sail, curtain, covering," from PIE root *weg- "to weave a web." Vela was mistaken in Vulgar Latin for a feminine singular noun. To take the veil "become a nun" is attested from early 14c.
late 14c., from Old French veler, voiller, from Latin velare "to cover, veil," from velum (see veil (n.)). Figurative sense of "to conceal" (something immaterial) is recorded from 1530s. Related: Veiled; veiling.
A membranous covering or part, especially a membrane surrounding the young mushrooms of certain basidiomycete fungi. In some species the membrane (called a partial veil) extends only from the stalk to the cap. As the cap expands, the veil breaks, leaving a ring called an annulus on the stalk and often scalelike pieces on the cap. These veil remnants are important for identifying species of mushrooms.
