CBS Denver Insider tips: If just starting, a personal class is extremely helpful. Getting the basics down before launching into some of the more difficult poses will enable you to feel more comfortable in your first group classes.
Proper attire: bring form-fitting clothing to your classes so your instructor can adjust your body to more appropriate alignment. Women often wear sports bras or tank tops and men will often practice yoga shirtless. Yoga pants or gym shorts that wont ride up while in particular poses are also acceptable yoga wear. Water bottles and towels to sponge sweat off your brow during your session are also advised.
Many studios have mats for rent if you don't want to make the purchase yourself. A good yoga mat can be found for sale at many of the studios, retailers like Lulu Lemon of Cherry Cheery.
Search for a class near you, give it a try whether just starting or well established and looking for a new studio to expand your practice. Namaste!

Do What You Love and Pursue a Career in English Language and Literature
Many aspiring college students struggle when it comes time to pick their major. They may want to pursue something that they truly enjoy, but the difficulty is whether or not they will be able to find a lucrative career with that degree. Ultimately, students should choose a subject matter that appeals to them, that keeps them interested and that they can imagine focusing on for 20, 30 or even 40 years of their life.
If you love reading and can't keep your hands off of classic literature, then there is no better degree than one in English language and literature. Here are some of the degree types to choose from, what you can expect to learn while earning this type of degree, what careers are available for graduates and why online learning is ideal when it comes to degrees in English language and literature.
Types of Degrees to Choose From
English language and literature degrees are available at four different levels for interested students, and each of the degrees are available online as well as through traditional college campus degree programs. Students can choose from an associate degree, a bachelor's degree, a master's degree and even a doctoral degree in the subject. To secure entry level jobs, an associate degree is the best choice and will take an average of just 24 months to complete.
Most students will pursue a bachelor's degree, which takes four years to complete. Those interested in a master's or a doctorate will typically be teaching about the subject in high schools or colleges at some point in their careers.
Typical Curriculum for a Degree in English Language and Literature
The curriculum for a degree program in English language and literature can vary greatly depending on the school you attend and the duration of the course. However, most degrees will focus on the literature produced in English speaking countries like the United States, Great Britain, Australia and South Africa.
You might also cover subjects like grammar, creative writing, linguistics and literary history. Some of the skills you will hone while earning this degree are research, writing and communication. An associate degree and a bachelor's degree will also include some general education classes required for graduation, which might include a foreign language credit or even classes in science and math.
Career Prospects for Graduates in This Field
Excellent writing, reading comprehension and communication skills are some of the most important things to have for any career, so the number of job opportunities available for English graduates is immense. Some of the most popular employment titles for graduates holding a degree in English language and literature include that of journalist, author, English teacher, technical writer, publisher, editor, book reviewer or advertising consultant.
The skills earned through this degree are also transferable to a number of different careers in industries as diverse as health care and finance. Keep in mind that this field can be very competitive, and starting salaries may be lower that in some other fields.
Benefits of Online Education
Earning an English language and literature degree online is ideal thanks to the ease of Internet communication, the flexibility of online courses, the ability to work from the comfort of home and the simple communication between students and teaching staff. As long as you have a computer and access to the Internet, you can begin studying, listening to lectures or even taking exams from any location. Online message boards mean that you can discuss homework or upcoming exams with your classmates and even your professors.
If you love reading and writing and want to turn passions into careers, then consider an online degree in English language and literature.

Stocks gain, pushing the S&P 500 to five-year high
NEW YORK -- The Standard & Poor's 500 closed at its highest in five years Friday after a report showed that hiring held up in December, giving stocks an early lift.
The S&P 500 finished up 7.10 points at 1,466.47, its highest close since December 2007.
The index began its descent from a record close of 1,565.15 in October 2007, as the early signs of the financial crisis began to emerge. The index bottomed out in March 2009 at 676.53 before staging a recovery that has seen it more than double in value and move to within 99 points of its all-time peak.
The Dow Jones industrial average finished 43.85 points higher at 13,435.21. It gained 3.8 percent for the week, its biggest weekly advance since June. The Nasdaq closed up 1.09 point at 3,101.66.
Stocks have surged this week after lawmakers passed a bill to avoid a combination of government spending cuts and tax increases that have come to be known as the "fiscal cliff." The law passed late Tuesday night averted that outcome, which could have pushed the economy back into recession.

It was the 1960's and young Sydney lawyer Bob Roberts was part of the infamous 'Bulletin Place' crowd that was to transform the Australian wine industry. Most prominent of the group was James Halliday and the late Len Evans. The group enjoyed wine from all parts of the world; the 'wine bug' had gripped most of them and many soon established vineyards, mostly in the Hunter Valley.
Unlike Len, James and other members of the group though, Bob decided that Mudgee presented a better climate for his favoured wine styles. He adored the classic reds from French regions such as Bordeaux, the Rhone Valley and even Burgundy.
In 1969 he established Huntington Estate and began his egalitarian mission to make some of Australia's best wines at affordable prices. With Len carping in the background, he achieved this goal time over the next four decades and his loyal following grew. His view was great wines, particularly reds, could really only be tested with time in the cellar and his philosophy remains this today in spite of passing fads and a modern trend towards wines that are at their drinking peak while young.
Bob's daughter Susie joined him in 1993 and helped take the wines to a new level.
In 1996 a young journalist called Tim Stevens, who had also caught the 'wine bug', purchased Abercorn next door to Huntington Estate. His cellar was full of Huntington Estate old vintages and he wanted to emulate his neighbour's style. Like Bob he was enamoured by Mudgee's unique tannic style. The pair became friends and ten years later when Bob decided to retire it was a natural transition for Tim to take over as owner and winemaker.
Tim has kept true to the Huntington Estate style; "My cellar is full of Huntington Estate and I'd be mad to change the style at all - particularly as I now know all of Bob's secrets!"

The Harvest café bakery is quite unique as we are operating it as an artisan woodfired sourdough bakery early in the morning and a function room at night. It is located in the tiny village of Newrybar, in NSW. The bakery is turning 100 years old next year. We are at Harvest, trying as much as we can to use the temperature curve of the oven, starting with baking our sourdough, then the pastries (croissant, pain au chocolat...), then the meat (duck legs, whole pig...) and sometimes meringues. It is worth having a look!

County right to challenge law
A state statute is blocking the way for equal representation.
That is presenting a problem for the counties within the new Smoky Mountain Center representation zone — including Rutherford County.
The law (G.S. 122C-118.1) states "an area board shall have no fewer than 11 and no more than 21 voting members."
The problem this creates is with 23 counties represented under the merger agreement between Western Highlands Network and Smoky Mountain Center — an entity that has yet to be named — some counties will be left out.
The issue is further complicated by the fact that 13 members of the new board aren't governmental representatives. They represent providers and families within the new network.
By our math, that leaves eight members to represent the 23 county commissions in the region.
Not even members of the new board feel it is right to have such limited representation for such a large area.
We agree.
The function of the new entity is to help with behavioral health matters within the network.
It is a vast responsibility that is never easy.
The new body needs a board that speaks for all of its members, not just a select few.
County commissions in the network have, or will, approve a 21-member board comprised of the 13 provider/family representatives and eight county officials — of which Rutherford County Manager Carl Classen is one.
Classen told the Rutherford County Commission Monday he hopes this board will be "interim" but because the law is how it is currently, there is no choice to keep the operation functioning.
A breath later, commissioners voted to submit a resolution to Rep. Mike Hager, R-Rutherford and Sen. Ralph Hise, R-Spruce Pine, asking the North Carolina General Assembly to change its law and allow for an increased board presence for the new entity.
We understand the fact that the law is the law.
However, sometimes those laws need to be changed to account for changes in the landscape such as the merger of Western Highlands and Smoky Mountain Center.
Under normal circumstances, the current law would not be a problem. However, times have changed and the creation of this new organization has presented a need for changes in state law.
We are encouraged by the actions of county commissioners in western North Carolina in asking state lawmakers to consider changing the law when the General Assembly reconvenes for its short session in May.
We also ask that lawmakers take the resolutions seriously and actively seek a change in the law.
It is only right to allow each county to be represented on a board with such a vast undertaking.

His arrest followed an investigation launched Nov. 4 when the sheriff's office received information regarding a subject in possession of child pornography, authorities said.
The sheriff's office worked with Aurora police and investigators from the Illinois attorney general's office, leading to charges being filed against Martin on Friday, police said.

Much like the catching situation, the first base position has been a revolving door since the departure of Mark Teixeira in 2007; not that Rangers fans are complaining since that trade led to two World Series appearances.
Despite having top prospects like Justin Smoak and Chris Davis at one point, the Rangers are still trying to find a long term solution for first base and Mitch Moreland will get at least one more season to prove he is that solution with top prospect Mike Olt nipping at his heels.
Moreland, much like Davis, exploded onto the scene in Texas with an outstanding rookie campaign and a memorable home run in the 2010 World Series against the Giants, but struggled to make the necessary adjustments to remain a consistent threat in the batting order.
There is no question Moreland is the best defensive first baseman on the roster, but Texas needs his bat to return to form more so now than ever with the departure of power hitters Josh Hamilton and Mike Napoli.
He will get one more chance to establish himself with Texas this season, but if Olt gets off to a fast start at AAA Round Rock or as a bench player on the big league roster the leash on Moreland will get even smaller.
The best case for the Rangers this season would be for Moreland to return to his rookie form and be a force at the bottom of the order, allowing the team to either keep Olt at AAA for another season of development or as possible trade bait at the deadline.
Going into Spring Training Olt appears to be headed back to Round Rock for at least the beginning of the season unless he has a hot March forcing his way onto the roster as a platoon player with Moreland and a backup for Adrian Beltre at third base.
Texas has clearly learned a lesson by rushing Smoak to the majors with how they've dealt with both Olt and Jurickson Profar.
The way the current roster is configured, both top prospects could find themselves teammates once again, this time at Round Rock. I almost feel bad for that league, almost.
Another thing threatening Moreland, making this season critical for him, is the very real possibility of a position switch of Ian Kinsler to first base when the Rangers are ready to force Profar onto the big league team.
To do so could involve many different scenarios but the most likely will move Kinsler over to first base and promoting Profar to second base; unless of course Texas feels like an Elvis Andrus extension will be unlikely then all bets are off.
Despite the numerous different scenarios impacting the long term situation at first base, the best case for the Rangers will always be for Moreland to finally establish himself at the major league level.
If he does that Texas will have a very good problem to have and one other teams in the league would envy, too many championship caliber players on the roster.
If that happens Jon Daniels will have some work to do, but as Rangers fans know all too well, Daniels will find the best way to finally win that elusive World Championship.
There is only one question Texas is looking to answer right now: is Mitch Moreland going to be a Justin Smoak or a Nelson Cruz?
Only way to answer that question is to toss Moreland into the fire and see if he takes off or burns.

Although it is not mandatory under the law, the CFS-BC annually contracts an independent firm to conduct a financial audit.
The audited financial statements are adopted by resolution at at the annual general meeting where each member students' union is represented.
Note: Unlike in most fields, the term "unqualified" in the auditing profession is a good thing. An unqualified audit means that an organization's financial controls and reporting are in good health, with no "qualifications" or exceptions. All of the CFS-BC's audits are unqualified.

Heard from an employee of Mondo that the cook shot the dishwasher.
I received both my bachelors and masters degrees from Tulane and at both graduation ceremonies there were many football players receiving degrees from the school of continuing studies. Care to explain this?
As a student at Tulane I can tell you first hand this is simply not true. A large number of the athletes enroll in the school of continuing studies, which is far from challenging to say the least. It's laughable that Tulane fans use academic standards as an excuse for poor athletic performance when it is simply not the case. Athletes at Tulane get the same breaks as athletes at every other major school. Tulane fans need to realize that Scott Cowen is the reason Tulane athletics can't compete on the big stage.
The pat down is not required. In lieu of the pat down, you have the option to go through the body scan, neither of which are a big deal. These comments demonstrate the sissy-fication of america; people simply complaining just to complain. A majority of people complaining about the TSA procedures haven't gone through either, if they had, they would realize how ridiculous they sound and how off base they are. Instead, people simply like to complain and repeat what others have said. Ultimately, you aren't obligated to fly. If it bothers you so much, gas up your car and drive.

Baseball Gives 'Terra Nova' Boost In Ratings
'Supernatural' audience showing heavy erosion over last two years
"Terra Nova" had a strong week this week thanks to a good lead-in from playoff baseball, but other shows on the network genre schedule aren't doing too well.
Here's hoping that the somewhat competing shows of "Once Upon a Time" on ABC on "Grimm" on NBC will help turn that around a little bit heading into November sweeps.
"Terra Nova" roared up a 6.3 rating/9 share, according to Fast National overnight ratings from The Nielsen Co. Although it's likely influenced by baseball ratings, those are the best numbers "Terra Nova" have posted for the season, and were a full ratings point higher -- almost 19 percent -- than the previous week.
The show actually was Fox's highest-rated scripted program of the sports-shortened week, and was among the network's tops overall, tying one night of "The X Factor," and finishing slightly behind another night.
"Fringe" has remained steady for Fox on Fridays, as has "Vampire Diaries" on The CW on Thursdays. "The Secret Circle" seems to have found its stable audience, but is losing about 18 percent of its "Vampire Diaries" lead-in.
"Supernatural" is really struggling, however. It's averaging a 1.1/2, keeping most of the audience from its "Nikita" lead-in, but is down 21 percent from its number last year. That's after last year losing 20 percent of its audience from a year before. Yet it's finishing just below the 1.2 household average The CW has been scraping together this season.

Fast Nationals usually provide a snapshot of what Americans are watching by pulling numbers from the top urban markets that include both live viewing and same-day timeshifted viewing. A rating point generally represents more than 1.1 million households while the share indicates the percentage of televisions turned on that was tuned to the specific program. These numbers typically shift when final ratings are issued.

Jhonny Gonzalez def. Abner Mares, KO Round 1 2:55
Words can not describe the shock of this win. Abner Mares, a man on the pound for pound list, an undefeated fighter who looked to be seriously on the rise, KO'd in just 1 round by the completely overlooked Jhonny Gonzalez. After 2 minutes of a feeling out process, Gonzalez used a perfect left hook to drop the heavy favorite Mares, sending the champion crashing to the mat. Mares struggled back to his feet, but was clearly hurt, and within a few more seconds, he was back on his back and the fight was wisely waved off.
At this point, you can pretty much close the books on any Upset of the Year award in boxing. Adonis Stevenson's KO of Chad Dawson was impressive, but it doesn't hold a candle to this. Just an incredible moment.

seriously, the best spicy salmon roles i've ever had. but the servers are rude, and hurry you out of the restaurant. they rush you during phone ordering too. and i have never experienced such rude delivery people, almost every single time demanding a bigger tip. its ridiculous! but those spicy salmon roles.....mmmm
Posted by HarlemBasque on 05/15/2010
Yesterday when I called to order, I was rushed by the receptionist. I had asked if they sold spring rolls and the abrupt reply was yes. I then requested two spring rolls with the rest of my order. The food arrived within half an hour. Satisfactory. The delivery man asked to see my credit card, which I retrieved. He then handed me a blank sheet of paper and asked me to write down the CC number. Sketchy. I replied, "you can just check the receipt for the the last four digits, the card and my ID if you want. He insisted that I write down the CC number on this blank paper. More sketchy. I refused. Then he handed me the receipt. Never asking for ID. I signed it and gave a $3.00 tip. The food, placed within one plastic paper formation was not passed over. Delivery man demands a 10% tip -$8.00. WTF! He then pulls out his mobile and pretends to call someone. No one ANSWERS. He shoves the food and receipt at me and leaves. Upon opening the paper-plastic formation and reviewing the receipt I realized the receptionist did not understand me. None English speaking. She gave me six spring rolls, instead of two. Maybe she understood two orders instead of two spring rolls. I was charged for all six. The food was decent, reasonable, and the portions were short of generous. Don't plan on ordering take-out from here again!

I really want Thai style red curry. I've never had any type of curry that was so horrible. Most Thai curries I've had have coconut milk, unless otherwise specified. This was more like a very gingery, garlic, tamarind sauce. Waste of money!
Posted by go_elsewhere on 11/13/2009
I got take-out so I cant speak to the restuarant but the food was pretty bad. I got pad thai chicken which I figured is a pretty safe dish for a Thai restuarant. The chicken was low quality (still had the skin on, was really fatty) and the noodles didn't even have the pad thai sauce on them. It (though didn't taste like pad thai sauce) came in a little container and you had to pour it on.

So far, Vine is the only place in the area with decent sushi, but, as said by others, the service is unpleasant. Waiters and delivery guy have complained about tips, but seriously, who wants to tip for such lousy service?!?!
Posted by Anonymous on 10/24/2009
I completely agree with the reviews that delivery guy is rude. I hope the management reads this. He comes and I give him $2+ tip every time and he always looks at it like he expects more and then huffs away. No thank you. Very, very rude. I used to deliver food and I was always happy with a $2.50 tip (most people gave me a dollar). But sushi is really good, so if you can deal with him it's worth it. I have definitely ordered from other restaurants for the sole reason that the delivery guy is rude.

I don't have much experience with Japanese food, but i thought the california rolls were very good. They have bento boxes as well, but felt like it would be too much so i just ordered california rolls. There is alot of "crab" meat in the roll and the rice is not quite as sticky as it usually is, so it tasted good. However, the service is annoying. they filled my water glass around 20 times, as i took a sip they poured. It is this sort of overly dedicated service that i find tiring. Secondly, the guy would never get our oder straight. it took forever to explain that i just wanted the california rolls. I was asked: do you want seaweed with that? how about some rice? are you sure you don't want a bento box? Another thing that annoys me is that they don't do separate checks. I'm not sure if they are just consciencious and don't want to waste receipt paper, or if they have no idea how to manipulate the cash register. Overall the waiters are just too annoying for me to bother dealing with them on multiple occasions.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Railroad giant CSX is expected to make a big announcement tomorrow in Brunswick County, according to Brunswick County Economic Development Commission Executive Director Jim Bradshaw.
Bradshaw says CSX executives are flying in from Virginia and Florida for the event at 2 p.m. at the BCC Leland Industrial Park. Bradshaw said he could not say exactly what it is, but it deals with the Mid Atlantic Industrial Rail Park.
"It's not a job creator yet, but it could be," Bradshaw said.
The Mid Atlantic Industrial Rail Park is one of two sites along US 74/76 near the Columbus County line leaders have tried to develop. Bradshaw says companies including Continental Tire and Mitsubishi have considered it in the past. Caterpillar looked at the International Logistics Park across the highway.
Bradshaw says CSX already operates the Davis Rail Yard near Navassa, which is the major rail yard for the Wilmington area.

Goose Creek Police are looking for a suspect who used a stolen bankcard in an attempt to purchase $600 worth of merchandise from the St. James Avenue Walmart on Dec. 26.
The suspect also used the stolen bankcard at two other locations in Goose Creek, according to a statement released by GCPD last week.
According to an incident report, the victim contacted GCPD after her bank notified her of possible unauthorized purchases. The victim said she went to her bank's ATM and likely left her bankcard on her lap, which then fell to the ground when she exited her vehicle at a grocery store.
Unauthorized purchases were made for a total of $309 at Walmart and Bi-Lo at the time the report was filed Dec. 27. Another fraudulent transaction at Sonoco had not gone through at the time the incident report was filed.
If you have any information regarding this incident please contact the Goose Creek Police Department or Inv. Fogle at (843) 863-5200 ext. 2334 or Crime Stoppers at 843-554-1111.

Playing BS for quite some time led me to draw conclusions about lags.
It's not that blackshot is laggy nor are the servers.
It's enough to have 1 laggy player, and all ingame players will suffer lags.
Why ? Data packets have to travel between all players. If 1 player lags, everyone's game client has to wait until whole data synchronizes between all players.
Believe me, there are plenty out there, whom I'd consider to connect with inet using old 36600 k-flex modem. Or even worse: they connect wirelessly or using mobile access.
What is lag ?
LAG (latency) - is used to measure the delay between sent and received data packets at a set distance.
In computer games, too high delay between player's action and reaction of the game is considered as a lag.
To lessen lag as much as possible:
- before you enter an ongoing game, look at room's ping. If it does have 5 green bars, then it looks very promising.
I don't even consider entering rooms with 4 green bars (or less), as it tells me, there is at least 1 heavy lagging player.
- as mentioned above, the game's architecture is p2p, and everybody will suffer if there's even 1 lagging player.
Thus saying the less player in room, the better.
Conclusion: avoid rooms bigger than 6v6. 8v8 rooms are always laggy, no matter what.
exception for 8v8: all players come from the same country, and have pretty good internet connections.
7v7: winning a lottery has higher pro********lity, than playing w/o lags.
- playing among players from whole malaysia won't ever satisfy all in room (not even half of them).
Since BlackShot doesn't tolerate high latencies, thus those who live in east malaysia, won't be good hosts for PH and SG players, and Other region.
Even when ping-o-meter shows all 5 green bars. Don't be misled, as the network distance between for example MY and SGl is quite high, thus latency is high. I won't go deeper into technical things.
Conclusion: before you hit ready/start, make sure most of the players come from adjacent countries.
Playing with people living on the opposite side of malaysia makes no sense, unless you don't care that changing weapons take 1+sec, or you won't shoot right after you finish reloading ammo clip.
(Ever heard "tssk tssk" sound after reload, like you still were out of ammo?) rolleyes.gif
side note: in rooms containing players from all countries (only in clan server channel)
- Connection between room master and room host plays an important role in a match.
If room master lags, no matter who becomes the host, and how many times you will change it, all players will suffer lags.
Room master and room host as one person is a bad choice, and in most games will be laggy.
So it's better when room master is not a host.
conclusion: find yourself another room.
- don't be selfish and don't act like a boor. If players ask you to change the host, do it. Otherwise do not complain all the time that somebody kicked you without a reason.
If you have other ideas how to avoid laggy games, feel free to share them wink.gif
small FAQ
How to find out if room is laggy ?
There's an easy way to find it out.
You know that while being a host, changing weapons is instant.
If you aren't room host, changing weaps take some time. The longer it lasts, the higher are lags.
If it takes longer than 0.5sec, room is under heavy lag.
Other hint bases on ping to other players.
In most cases you may have 4-5 green ping bars to all players.
But when you die, and press TAB (holding it for 3-5 secs) to see acutal rankings, you will see that ping bars may drop from green to even red. Consider this as a real ping indicator*.
It occurs mostly in rooms containing very laggy players.
*don't base on ping indicator right after you enter a game, or when a new round in SD match starts.
How do I know if room master is lagging ?
If a host change occurs - where room master has a good connection - it's almost instant.
If not, animation showing host change will loop itself more than 1 time (prolly about 3-4 times or even more, when RM lags very heavy)
This tells me, that no matter who becomes the host, I have nothing to look further in such room.
But hey I have a new/decent laptop/PC
If you think that better PC means less lag, it's not exactly like this.
There's a term called "hardware lag". If PC's hardware cannot withstand game's requirements
it renders the frames with low rate. Network performance will be affected as well.
BS has low hardware requirements, thus playing it on notebooks should possible w/o problems.
But it depends also on all applications you run in background, you specific operating system config, drivers and tons of other factors.
Are there any ways to make my connection less laggy ?
Actually yes, but it depends on your network infrastructure.
1. do not connect wirelessly when playing online games, and forget about playing while using mobile access.
Your latency will never go below 1-2 seconds, and such time is considered as eon in gaming.
Always connect to network modem/router using wire.
2. if you use a router to share your connection between multiple hosts (other computers or devices), make sure you prioritize packets from/to your PC, and you use QOS (turn on quality of service in your router).
Remember, when all hosts in your network start receiving/sending packets, your own latency will raise grately.
3. don't download/upload anything in background, especially using torrent software.
It kills the connection instantly.
4. make sure you allowed blackshot client outgoing connection access in your firewall, and firewall isn't filtering this connection.
If it does, it takes some time to filter this connection and pass it through, so it raise the latency.
Those are basic tips, and should be enough.
I won't go deeper in router's configuration, advanced network informations and so on.
Those who want, may find more advanced hints, and tips on interwebz.
faulty beliefs
Hey, I've got 20/50/100... mb connection, and I'm not lagging !
You may have at most 20/50/100/... Mbit connection, and in most cases it means only that you can download data up to that speed.
While playing any online game, you don't only download data, but send it as well.
In oFPS like games you approximately receive the same amount of data, as you transmit.
So don't you tell anyone that you have 100mbits, when your max upload speed may be at most 1.5mbit (may be even 25 Mbits, depending on your ISP and its packets).
But it's not important how fast you can download, but how fast can you process received data, and send it to the rest of players.
And that's why 1mbit fiber connection will always own your 1000000 baziliard mbit calbe/dsl/wireless connection.
But I never lagged while playing Garena's blackshot
Do you really think, that playing against people living in second half of the globe makes you have lower latency than they do ?
Firstly: latency of your packets (assuming you live in SG/MY) won't go below 300-350ms.
This may be enough for mmorpg like PvE games, but not for FPS games.
Secondly: area on which Garena offers its services is much smaller compared to MY, and players have:
- faster connections than average SG user
- routes through which digital data is travelling are way shorter than in PH
FYI: digital data doesn't travel in the shortest way, known as a straight line from point A to point B.
You may not even know, that when you connect to your neighbour living on the opposite side od street, the connection may be routed through MY or asia.
You may think that you play without lags on oriental Blackshot servers.
But you are seen as a lagger to players from those countries.
The same as you see other players having 1 red ping bar when you play.
Or even worse.
All tips and info I have provided is based on my own experience, and knowledge.
You may not agree with them, and I don't expect from you to play along with them.

One of the most fascinating pastimes, and increasing in recognition, is collecting clocks. When there's income which can be made from this hobby, most people basically delight in obtaining the several various varieties of clocks that are around and discovering the history behind the clock.
The earliest clocks had been from Europe and have been produced by hand. On the other hand, it was not till clocks became mass created that they definitely became well known. That's why early clocks that had been hand-crafted are so worthwhile. They may be seriously one-of-a-kind pieces, as opposed to clocks that came from an assembly line.
If you're going to be a successful collector of clocks you are going to have to do your homework. You are able to understand a lot of details about clocks from books and articles and its vital to have some working know-how about them prior to you start off spending revenue. You can also uncover a vast amount of material in the Internet and the lots of web web-sites devoted to collectible clocks which you will find out.
There are numerous sources for having your hands on old clocks. One particular of your greatest is to basically go to garage sales and see for your self what you'll be able to uncover. There are lots of people who will sell their old ornate clock for practically absolutely nothing due to the fact they just never recognise the value.
You'll possibly find out several clocks that don't perform; but never be discouraged. When its correct that, all other points being equal, a fully-functioning clock is worth greater than a broken a single, a collectible clock - by its incredibly nature - is usually attractive (and valuable) no matter whether it operates or not.
In particular popular are grandfather or "long-case" clocks at the same time as art deco, mantle and advertising clocks. Cuckoo clocks are an incredible beginning point. Their ornate design and style and generally amusing chiming sequence make them really appealing. The very best ones are antiques hand-made in Europe.
