Many threads on this. I am sure yours will be locked, has been the pattern.
I am an HC only player and I feel your pain. Sadly we are the smaller community (Fine with me. Less players= Less DBs overall), but we still are a significant portion of the community.
I say offer the playlists. MW3 had horrible HC with Ricochet, but they still offered a nice variety of HC modes.
It baffles me, to be honest. Good conversations on here, some with Devs in it. Take a look.

My threads usually do not get locked they usually get out right deleted!! Censorship at its best!!
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationAbjectFlame Feb 13, 2013 1:23 PM (in response to gvfd732)
I completely agree with this, hardcore is the only way I can play without getting completely raped.. as weird as that is. I do wish there were more options when it comes to hardcore!
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationNoLifeKing29 Feb 13, 2013 1:23 PM (in response to gvfd732)
Probably because you make bad threads.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationgvfd732 Feb 13, 2013 1:27 PM (in response to NoLifeKing29)
I have never used profane language, or offensive wording in any of my postings. Only guess I can make is the reason for deletion is that the moderators/developers are afraid of sarcasm and people that request a fair shake for the money they pay them. 99% of all my postings are somewhat like this but nicer.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationnicedrewishfela Feb 13, 2013 1:28 PM (in response to gvfd732)
To be fair... it says in the CoC spamming a repeat topic is against policy. So you know going in...
But I would like to know why we aren't getting any love or changes. They took out the Timer, God knows why. In some ways its better, but it ruins tactical play. How can I turn the tide of a match when the guy I just killed spawns immediately behind me? Shorten it, not remove it maybe?
We all agree, at least HC players do.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationgvfd732 Feb 13, 2013 1:34 PM (in response to nicedrewishfela)
to be fair, repeat topic? it should not be considered a repeat topic if you got to search through hundreds and hundreds of posts to find the right thread to post under plus in my opinion, a post older than a certain date should be considered a dead thread and not count toward the CoC. Just my opinion. Plus if it is considered a repeat topic, how about them fixing the issue that keeps arising then we would not have a repeat topic anymore! Just Saying --
Re: Hardcore Discriminationspacemanjones Feb 13, 2013 1:42 PM (in response to gvfd732)
Agreed. Why I like HC and want more game modes:
1) I like the realism. To be honest, the amount of rounds it takes to drop someone in Core is not realistic.
2) No mini map. In Core it's hard to not wanna run ghost and silencer all the time just so you don't light up like a christmas tree when you take a shot at someone.
3) Better communication from players that play in HC. Like someone else has said, less DBs
These are just 3 quick reasons. Given more time to think, I could come up with many more.
If this is a repost, and they're going to lock it, why have a community discussion anyways? Have they (the devs) offered any reason why they won't create more HC? Or are they just unwilling to do it so any discussion about it gets locked and thrown in the garbage?
Re: Hardcore Discriminationspacemanjones Feb 13, 2013 1:27 PM (in response to gvfd732)
4 HC game types compared to 3 times as many Core. I mean, is it too much work to add those HC modes? I honestly thought that they would eventually release more game modes for HC. Guess I'll have to go back to MW3 to get my HC fix.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationRestore_Hardcore Feb 13, 2013 1:37 PM (in response to gvfd732)
Not enough gamers can handle HC, only a select few. Core is too childish for me. Just my opinion. HC is the only way to play.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationcoopz Feb 13, 2013 1:49 PM (in response to gvfd732)
i agree with core sucks ass really bad i have been play hardcore since waw and never looked at playing core since but in black ops 2 they dont offer us enough hardcore modes and when do they take away a mode to put the new one in its really stupid, they should give us atleast 6 modes in hardcore to play and maybe some hardcore league play not just core all the time like the clan ops make them hardcore aswell
Re: Hardcore Discriminationspacemanjones Feb 13, 2013 2:19 PM (in response to coopz)

I was never a big Dom player until MW3, really enjoyed HC DOM. Shocking to me that they didn't bring it back.

I wonder how many HC guys are stuck in the core Dom list.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationJhumpss Feb 13, 2013 4:18 PM (in response to gvfd732)
I only discovered HC in MW3, and I now play a mixture of both, I enjoy the level of realism HC offers, and it also offers more mature lobbies (usually), I have to agree that there is a lack of game modes in bo2, I much prefer objective based modes, and would definetly be up for playing more HC modes.

Well I particular do no give a crap what you think this message is for the developers.
This is a forum, a community forum. The entire idea of posting something is so the community can see it. If you want to send the developers a message, there are much better means of doing so, like e-mail or twitter. (actual services meant for one-to-one communication) The devs aren't going to search through these forums for hours to read your topic.
Seems like you just want to say what you want, have everyone read it, but have an "excuse" as to why nobody else should be able to have an opinion.
As for the actual topic: it is rather simple. COD is a business. The goal is to make money, NOTHING else. They make money by keeping players happy and keeping costs low, in a sort of balance. The percentage of hardcore players playing the game does not outweigh the costs of giving you more playlists. It's like asking Ford to start making their CD players out of gold because 4 people really like gold. It would cost them more money than it would make by keeping those 4 people happy. It's a simple as that. Deal with it. It would lose the company money, so obviously, it's a bad idea.
And if you don't like that they are a company and care about money, quit buying their product, you are only making them money.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationspacemanjones Feb 13, 2013 5:29 PM (in response to Ratneer)
And here all this time I thought good businesses focused on giving the customer more than they expect. Thanks for the capitalist insight...
Frankly, COD is big enough that any company could follow the basic COD algorithm and turn a buck in this franchise. But trey likes to put out vids and sneak-peak trailers talking about giving the players what they want with new create-a-class, maps, guns, etc etc etc stuffs. And there are MANY players that want HC, or this discussion wouldn't come up again and again (that's what I've gathered anyways). Many of the people I run around with WANT HC, but are not going to visit forums or twitter to voice their opinions...
But you are right about using twitter and other forms of communications. Happen to know any of their twit handles?
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationRatneer Feb 13, 2013 5:51 PM (in response to spacemanjones)
Sorry, I don't have any of their handles, I really don't ever have a reason to contact them.
Yes, Good business do focus on giving the customer more, but it would be downright stupid of them to give the very small percentage of customers something that will either cost them more money than it makes them to implement, or upsets the larger majority of the customers in the process.
They have two options:
1. Give HC players more playlists, and lose money because of it, because the amount of money they would make from having more HC people who only play HC play and buy their game would be much much less than the money it would take to bear the costs of adding those playlists.
2. Don't give the HC players what the want. That is only a very small majority of players in the first place. Only a very very small percentage of that very small percentage would actually stop playing and buying their games because of this.
So their options are either.
1. Make people happy, lose money.
2. Make people upset, but in the end, make more money.
It's a business. It sucks, but the #1 goal of any business is to make money, and that has to come first.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationspacemanjones Feb 13, 2013 6:11 PM (in response to Ratneer)
How does giving us HC make them lose money exactly? And after we buy the game and buy league pass, all they do is lose money. I'm a software developer and I'm having trouble believing that if I can create a custom private game with my friends to be HC, then they have to do more than flip a switch and we get it HC playlists. You don't think they already developed it? The whole not making money thing doesn't make sense since this not a pay-per-play game.
I also think you are exaggerating how small the HC community is, btw.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationRatneer Feb 13, 2013 6:15 PM (in response to spacemanjones)
Maybe I am exaggerating how small the HC community is, I'm no expert. If someone can prove me otherwise, I'd be happy to change my argument. As for the losing money part, it has been stated that there are a limited number of slots for playlists available, which I take to mean that to add more, it would require more resources, and in the end, more money.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationRestore_Hardcore Feb 13, 2013 7:41 PM (in response to Ratneer)
About 1/4 to 1/3 of the players are in the HC list on some days. There aren't more because of the lack of lists, if you do the math there are a higher percentage of HC players in 4 lists vs the 12 core modes, the huge bonus mode, and the 3 lists in revolution. The math clearly says there are more HC players per playlist.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationGriefbot Feb 14, 2013 1:31 PM (in response to Restore_Hardcore)
I was about to post something very similar.
HC is very happening in BO2. It's gaining people all the time due to the issues with core.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationCHRISSY Feb 13, 2013 5:26 PM (in response to gvfd732)
MW3 had the same issue and then when everyone moves on to BO2 the put HC moshpit in the playlist, why wait sooooooooo long to do this, HC gamers pay the same price for the game as core players so why do we get a 4 game playlist
Re: Hardcore Discriminationrdnsnow Feb 13, 2013 6:48 PM (in response to gvfd732)
Because the majority of players play core. If you add more hc game modes then it will be that much harder to find a game.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationAbjectFlame Feb 14, 2013 1:28 PM (in response to gvfd732)
I just don't understand how people even play core.. I'm not going to stop playing black ops just because they wont give us more HC maps.. its disappointing to say the least. But playing core just pisses me off because you shoot people an unrealistic amount of times and then get killed. At least in hardcore if you can aim you have a decent chance of getting some kills. I think their should be an even amount of both.. how can anyone be mad about that? Seems kind of unfair to all of us that do enjoy HC (and only play HC.. because core is so ridiculous) to only give us 4 options. I say make an even amount of both and then theres nothing to ***** about by either party.

Thats funny all my friends all play core. Look at how many people are in the core playlist and then look at the HC playlist.....Huge difference. Just because you and your friends only play HC doesn't make you a majority lol.

Re: Hardcore DiscriminationTamaerus Feb 14, 2013 10:18 PM (in response to gvfd732)
Agreed! Harcore is so much more realistic, and challenging, and FUN, than stupid core mode. And why, as someone else mentioned, WHY ARE THERE NO HARDCORE CLAN OPS???? I started a clan, thinking that a few of my friends could join in and we could run aroud and enjoy ourselves while helping each other level up and prestige, so on and so forth...then ater I create a clan and go to look at the challenges, EVERY SINGLE F#%$ING ONE WAS CORE! I looked at upcoming challenges..."Core Team Deathmatch. Core Kill Confirmed. Core >insert mode that hardcore is deprived of here like Demolition (I think that's what it's called. i never play it BECAUSE IT'S ONLY CORE)." I looked at the expired (ended) challenges. "Core. Core. CORE." Even if they never add more hardcore modes (though I hope they do), then at the very LEAST, give us Hardcore Clans a chance to do something we actually enjoy! Now I have to face the very real possibility that my new clan will never level up because I never play core and neither do most of my friends/potential clan recruits. SUCH A WASTE! COD, Treyarch, Activision, whoever has control over that-hell, I don't care if it's the Khan of freaking Mongolia-SOMEBODY needs to give us Hardcore Clan options! And if they don't, then this game is far more pathetic than I imagined it could be. SO. LAME.
And yes, I do want the other modes in Hardcore. I don't know if I'd like them, or hate them, or ever even bother playing them, but the option to have the same experience as core players should only be the FAIR and RIGHT thing to do. We paid just as much for the game as they did, and those of us who bought the dlc didn't spend a penny less than core gamers. So why should we get less?
You know, I bet they're just waiting until at least 50,000 people admit openly somewhere that they'd be willing to pay for more hardcore so that they can charge for a "NEW DLC" that cost extra just to unlock hardcore for all modes. As Mr. Software Developer pointed out, there's really not much of a programming difference between the modes. Essentially you change the simplest of dynamics in the code script that loads at the start of the game. Like....Map on/off. Friendly damage "x"%. Enemy damage "x"%. Health "x"%. Ammuntion for <name of gun> at start = -insert # of default rounds- ....
Think about it. None of the maps, classes, perks, rules of conduct, objectives/goals, graphics, or sounds change at all. The only real differences are with the character, because he switches from his core to his hardcore mode and still all the weapons in the roster are the same. If they can make those four modes Hardcore AND Core, then it would only be a simple handful of source-code lines granting the same option of the other modes.
Unfortunately, Mr. 'Capitalist Viewpoint' is probably correct, to some degree. I think they'll listen to us....when it lines their pockets. And it hasn't been worth their while yet, because core players are still buying it and making them money.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationsqitso Feb 14, 2013 10:39 PM (in response to gvfd732)
Well sadly.. David Vonderhaar had said is some interview a number of months back that hardcore was considered a game "mode" meant for fun, like sticks and stones or gun game. His comparison not mine.. basically he said it wasn't meant to be taken seriously because there is a whole new level of balance that would need to be considered.
I understand why he would consider it that way, since you start with only 30th health... but if you balanced it.. Then the whole 30 health thing wouldn't be valid. I mean if you make guns weaker and everything to balance to the 30 health you are basically back to playing core.
but.. needless to say. Just letting you know Vonderhaar doesn't consider Hardcore a real game mode. Thinks it's a joke.

Minority? More like the OG cod vets kid. Most vets only play HC cause we know how lame core plays. Sure some old schoolers like core but not any I know. Why do all the core kids cry about this game? HC plays like butter and core is inconsistent.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationSora_v21 Feb 15, 2013 2:04 AM (in response to Restore_Hardcore)
Yes you guys are a minority it doesn't matter that you are "OG cod vets" you are still a minority compared to the amount of core players vs hardcore players; To question that makes me question you but then again I would expect you to be biased towards HC with the name Restore Hardcore so it will be hard for you to see something that you don't want to see.
Also the reason they can't introduce more gamemodes is because of space if they want to introduce HC Dom or Demo etc they would have to take out HC CTF or KC etc which will just cause a bunch of threads entitled "WTF why did they take out HC ....!?!?"
You can't make everyone happy.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationBielsalmighty Feb 15, 2013 3:05 AM (in response to Sora_v21)
As much as I've been loving HC in this game, I have to agree with this. Ah well, HC KC is an absolute blast so as long as that stays I'll be happy. I love it when people say 'eugh, HC is a campfest'. HC KC is anything but, awesome pace to it since they took out the respawn timer!
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationNoodle_Sensei Feb 15, 2013 3:31 AM (in response to Sora_v21)
Hardcore may be A minority but its not THE minority is it?
THat accolade belongs to league play, which usually has a fraction of the
players you see in HC yet still has a whole host of game modes available, that apparently nobody
is interested in playing.
To add more HC games modes simply remove the lobbies that are not "selling", namely league play.
Noone cares about league play, we're just having it thrust upon us whether we want it or not.
Re: Hardcore DiscriminationSora_v21 Feb 15, 2013 6:42 AM (in response to Noodle_Sensei)
Hmm true but this game was actually built around being more of a "competetive/MLG" style game. Vonderharr listened to those guys which is why there is league play, tons of headglitches in the maps and the maps are more symetrical. Also the introduction of Shoutcasting/Codcasting? etc.
Also I don't really play League Play alot so someone may want to back me up on this but there used to be 3 playlist choices up untill a couple of weeks ago and now there are only 2 choices. Again not 100% sure but I do believe so. Therefore they did remove some of those lobbies that are not "selling" why they are not introducing more HC gamemodes because of it IDK maybe they did it to include a new gamemode in the next/future DLC?
Wait and see.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationghosthound Feb 15, 2013 2:04 AM (in response to gvfd732)
I first started playing HC on Call of Duty 4. At first I hated and loathed it - I didn't know where the enemy was or where I being being shot from.
But then I adapted and have never looked back.
There should be more HC gamemodes, but not the 'softcore' ones - we need 'HC only' gamemodes.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationbiron_w Feb 15, 2013 3:19 AM (in response to gvfd732)
I don't get the whole "there's less people playing HC" thing.
There's very few people playing League Play yet the devs keep banging on about that!
Plus whenever i'm online there are ALWAYS more people playing HC KC than Core.
Although I only play KC so i'm not that bothered. The only thing that does annoy me is that there is never a HC mode for when the new maps come out.
Re: Hardcore Discriminationxmrythem Feb 15, 2013 7:07 AM (in response to gvfd732)
HC is by far more fun. Main reason, killing friendlies and getting booted because of it. Makes the game way more fun as you suffer consequences rather than busting out a VTOL or Loadstar and just destroying the enemy with no downside or ability to teamkill.

Bruce Willis' technology fearBruce Willis is scared of modern forms of communication.
The 'Die Hard' actor - who starred in last year's science fiction thriller 'Surrogates' about technology taking over the world - thinks everyone is becoming too reliant on social networking as a form of talking to each other.
He said: "What really disturbs me is the danger that lies in the fact that people want to communicate information quicker and quicker. I am not a big fan of social networks in electronic form. If the electricity dies, we would have to go home right now."
The 54-year-old star says the death of Michael Jackson in June last year was an unprecedented example of how much the world relied on, and used technology to spread the word.
He told German website TrailerSeite.de: "The whole world knew in four seconds or at least a short time. 10, 20 years ago that would have been utopic. Information gets more compact and quicker."
When describing his role in 'Surrogates', Bruce also joked it must be the "10th or 11th" time he'd saved the world because he'd taken on so many action roles in his long career.

Articular Cartilage Development, Maintenance, and Osteoarthritis
Project Overview
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common and one of the most costly musculoskeletal disorders in the world. OA is characterized by the loss of articular cartilage within diarthrodial joints leading to impaired skeletal mobility and severe pain. The onset and progression of OA is caused by genetic, mechanical (injury), and aging factors. Our lab is primarily interested in articular cartilage development, the genetic basis of OA, and the development of therapeutics to treat and/or slow the progression of OA. We are currently investigating several molecules that control joint formation and maintenance using tissue specific mouse genetic models and articular chondrocyte cultures. We are also involved in collaborations to create molecular therapeutics for treatment of OA using tissue engineered constructs to deliver drugs and/or MSCs locally to the articular cartilage.

Good to know. I chatted with the guys from Elk at the Meadowlands sale this year. Sounded like a decent place to check out in talking with them, but good to hear from an outside perspective.

personally I have never liked blue
. If there was any snow Mt Creek is worth checking out, but I have not even gone there despite it being the closest mt to me.
I never liked Blue, either, except for last night. The vibe was way better than the last time/s I was there and their coverage was better than Camelback's was Saturday night. It really surprised me. They were blowing huge mounds of snow on some of the closed trails, although with this rain who knows what shape they're in now. I still don't like how some trails cross each other awkwardly and the flats are a bit much. The only time I go to Blue is when friends are set on it (majority vote).

Vorbis stream with no Ogg header

Last night I broadcasted signal grabbed from my soundcard's line-in. I used OddCast+IceCast. OddCast was set to save archive of stream to disk. After hour IceCast crashed resulting in OddCast reconnect. After the broadcast I found two dumped OGG files, but first of them had no OGG container header (no "vorbis" text present in header). Second file is OK. If I'm getting it right, Vorbis within Ogg container has the following format:
OggS <ogg_header> OggS <vorbis_header> OggS <vorbis_data> OggS <vorbis_data> OggS <vorbis_data> ...
but I ended only with
OggS <vorbis_data> OggS <vorbis_data> OggS <vorbis_data> ...
I would like to know if there is any chance to reconstruct header of the first file (put it again in another Ogg container) or how to play it or convert it to another format.
Thanks in advance ...

A lot of people who are streaming from an icecast or oddcast server have this problem. Basically what I am going to tell you to do is attempt to use vcut.exe to try and cut the stream at specific granulepos. Seeking with an Ogg container is relative to wherever the granulepos is set within a page. You might be able to salvage or whatever is left of it if you truncate it down past a specific position. This is the specific problem that of people who streaming with Vorbis complain about. Why was the Ogg bitstream designed with all of the codebooks and other specific packet information at the start of the stream? the logical and physical bitstream structure though was very clever. I can't think of anything else , although that might be worth a shot.

You can probably save it... but you'll have to do it manually.
Your post indicates you know how the headers should be at the start of the file. ie Main header, comment header, code book header.
In order to replace the headers you need to know what specifically they were... this might be a bit of trial and error, however there's a fairly good chance that they were a fairly standard configuration. There's a few things that can vary... the stuff in the first header is fairly likely to be easy to guess, ie it's probably 44100 stereo, grab the first page from some other vorbis file that is the same. The comment header is irrelevant, you can put any old comment header in there, you can always use a tool to change the comment header later.
As to the third header, this will depend on the encoder settings use to produce the file. You may be lucky and it's a fairly "default" encode, in which case you will probably be able to cut this header from a file that was encoded in a similar way, ie with the same encoder settings. There's a fixed set of codebooks, if this file was made by something other than the reference encoder, you may have to do a lot of trial and error to find one that will work.
Basically, what i would do is... get a hex editor, make a backup copy of your file. Then from the start of the file, look forward until you see the first OggS, if there's one right at the start, do nothing, if not, cut everything away upto the first one... that small bit of data is not likely to be salvagable.
Now you have a file with a clean page start. Now try inserting the headers... this will be the first 2 or sometimes 3 pages you will have to do some mental decoding to see this, though if the third page has granule pos 0, it has the continuation flag set, has only packet and it's fairly small, chances are this 3rd page is part of the headers. Cut this section from some other file, which you beleive was similarly encoded.
Save it into it's own file, then make another copy of this little file.
Now look in your broken file, look at the serial number field, now, in your little file with the headers, you need to edit the serial number field. Now you have a problem, the checksum on the header page will be wrong. There is no easy way around this unless you can do some programming to recalculate what it should be. Most player will reject the file if the checksums are incorrect.
However, i know my directshow filters have a bug and they don't check the checksum... so at this point you could maybe try and play the file, and you will at least know if you guessed the right headers, and then you can worry about fixing the checksum later.
On the downside, my filters scan the whole file at load time, so if there is something funky later on in the file... or if this file is chained (which my codecs don't handle yet), it may barf right there. A workaround, is to put it on the web, and use my filter to load url..., since it does not scan the whole file in a network stream, so it will play (assuming the headers are right) until it reaches something that is not right, and then either stop unexpectedly, or possibly crash
Once you know you have he right headers, then you fix the header page checksums... and possibly fix up any garbage that is at the end of the file.
So, all in all, it's almost definately possible to save this file... but it requires some knowledge of the bitstream, and some programming skill, there is nothing automated that i know of that will fix this, and it's unlikely there ever will be, because there's no easy way to guess which headers should be used. Though someone with a very in depth knowledge of the vorbis packets could possibly make some reasonably educated guesses.
So ask yourself... how bad do you want to save this file... and how much time are you willing to expend to do so.
If you send me the file, use www.yousendit.com and enter my email address email@example.com after you upload it there, it will send me a link to download it from the yousendit server. I will try to have a look at it, but i can't make any promises that i will actually be able to fix it, or that i will be able to get around to quickly, so if you what i wrote above sounds like you can do it, then i'd suggest you do it, as you are obviously far more motivated to recover this file than me.
In order for this to even be possible i would need as much information about what settings you think it was encded at, also another file (probably another file from this ssame stream) that you suspect was encoded the same way, what version of icecast/vorbis encoder/other software used etc. Even in the best case this is time consuming. You should hope that it was made with the reference encoder(ie libvorbis_, if it was made with any other encoder (ie AoTuV) it may not be possible.

1. Roll Call
PRESENT: Eyre, Gaynor, Hanna, King, Kozakiewicz, Mead, Senesac and Svenson
ABSENT: Brown
OTHERS PRESENT: Keith Baker, Planning Director; Cheri King, Community Development Specialists, and 7 others.
2. Approval of Minutes
Moved by Mead, seconded by Hanna, to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of February 24, 2009 as written. Motion passed unanimously.
3. Public Hearing
a. Site Plan No. 288 from Dow Howell Gilmore Associates, Inc. site plan review and approval of a 14,152 square foot addition to the Arnold Center located at 400 Wexford Avenue.
Mr. Baker showed an aerial photograph of the subject property. Mr. Kozakiewicz requested to be allowed to abstain from this petition due to the fact that his company is the general contractor for this project. Motion by Senesac, seconded by Hanna to allow Mr. Kozakiewicz to abstain due to conflict of interest. Motion passed unanimously.
This property is near the grand curve just to the east of the downtown. The lots adjacent and across the street are residential, with commercial to the west, north and east. The entire area is zoned Light Industrial. The proposed use is permitted within the district. The future land use map identifies this area also as light industrial. The site plan shows a 14,152 sq. ft. addition to the existing facility on the west side of the existing building. It is at the corner of Wexford and Tibbs Streets. It is approximately a third of an acre. Section 27.02(a) of the zoning ordinance denotes the criteria that must be followed for an addition on this site. The property has been acquired by the Arnold Center and the addition is on property that they own. A total of 22 trees and 72 shrubs are required, so they exceed the requirements for landscaping required by the ordinance. The proposed addition meets all setbacks. The highest point of the building is 23.5 feet tall. The highest point of the structure is 36 feet 9 inches. There is no height restriction in the IA District. There were a number of single family homes acquired for property for this project. The building and site development are planned so as not to interfere with adjoining properties. Emergency vehicle access is adequate for fire protection. As part of the project, they are removing a drive approach on the west side of the building where the planned addition is proposed. There is an additional driveway approach on the Tibbs Street side of the building for utility vehicle access. The parking located on the south side of the site is on city property. There is a legal agreement that provides for parking in this area. There is public sidewalk on Tibbs Street, running north and south on the site. The city is requiring sidewalk on the Wexford Street side of the site.
Based upon the square footage of the building, there is a requirement for a minimum of 51 parking stalls and a maximum of 61 stalls. The plan does identify 85 parking stalls, 6 of which are barrier free. Staff has talked with the petitioners about the elimination of parking along the eastern most portion of the site and on the property that is owned by the city. The site will accommodate storm water detention with an underground system. It is on the west side of the building, subject to the Engineering Department's review and approval. A photometric plan has been submitted. The city has requested a photometric plan with the lighting shown to the property lines. There are several wall mounted fixtures and one large pole light to illuminate the area. Utilities will be brought from the existing building so there will be no new utility lines required. All exterior mechanical equipment must be screened. The dumpster is located in the southwest corner, facing to the southwest. The petitioner has requested in a letter to the Planning Commission to eliminate the gates on the dumpster gate, due to their landscaping in that area. The Planning Commission has the authority to provide that waiver if they feel the screening requirements have been met. One new sign is being proposed on the building and that can be reviewed and permitted at the time of construction and installation. That is subject to Article 8 of the Midland City Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Baker showed elevation drawings of the proposed facility. There will be photometric panels on the roof. Staff recommendation is for approval of the site plan with the usual contingency items.
Ms. Hanna asked if anyone came to this facility by bus. Mr. Baker answered in the affirmative. There is no bus canopy on either the existing building nor the proposed building. Ms. Hanna asked if they were planning to put up any bike racks. Mr. Baker deferred the question to the petitioner. Mr. Eyre asked about access to the property. Mr. Baker stated the west driveway off Wexford will be closed. The two driveways to the east will remain as they are now. They will be adding one new driveway off Tibbs Street.
Viki Labrou-Betts, 4300 W. Sugnet Road, representing Dow, Howell and Gilmore Architects. The Arnold Center came to them with the desire to consolidate their offices and some work areas in their facility. There are about 12 bike racks outside the cafeteria for employees to use. There is a stairway that leads to the roof area that will provide a green area for grasses and will provide insulation for the building. The photo-opaque panels will provide energy for the facility. Mr. Eyre asked about the two curb cuts side-by-side. Ms. Labrou-Betts stated that they propose to leave it as it is.
Mike Shea, formerly the Director of the Arnold Center, stated they have probably 25 buses dropping off people at the Arnold Center per day. The driveways are used for the buses to enter the site and then go around and exit from the other driveway. Mr. Shea stated it is signed for buses but there are not one-way signs. If the Planning Commission wishes signage for one way access, they will do that.
Ms. Labrou-Betts showed a rendering of the building with the green roof up above and the sky light/photo-opaque panel on the roof. Mr. Senesac asked for justification for not screening the dumpster on all four sides. Ms. Labrou-Betts stated there is landscaping in front of it and there is 3-4 feet of drop off between that area and surrounding residential properties. There is also quite a distance from the dumpster to the surrounding residential properties. They have trees on both sides of the dumpster enclosure. There will be a curb around three sides of the dumpster and trees on both sides. The trees on the sides are not evergreens. There is a note on the drawing that there is a 6-foot fence around the dumpster area. The width of the opening will be 20 feet wide.
No one spoke in favor or opposition to the site plan.
The public hearing was closed.

6. Old Business
The presentation of the Downtown Overlay Zoning District was by Jeff Purdee and Robert Kramer, from LSL Planning. They have continued to work on the Northside Downtown District. A review was held today with staff and the Advisory Committee. Tonight, they would like input from the Planning Commission.
The goal of the project is to transform the "Near Neighborhood" or Northside Downtown area based on a common vision, and to create a new Overlay District to address new development and help stimulate business in this area. They are amending Article 21 of the Zoning Ordinance. It begins with a statement of purpose, permitted uses, building placement, building height, and overlay district development standards.
The Statement of Purpose is to provide a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented redevelopment, provide a variety of housing types, calm traffic, create pedestrian-friendly environment and improve linkages to Downtown. Building height and placement will achieve appropriate scale and ensure proper transition to surrounding neighborhoods. The uses allowed include: (1) commercial service, retail and restaurant uses; (2) office and medical uses; (3) public/institutional uses; and (4) multiple family and townhouses. The difference from the Downtown include (1) automotive service stations will be excluded; (2) drive thru's require condition use permits; (3) shopping centers will be allowed; and (4) residential development will be permitted by right.
In order to create a more pedestrian-friendly atmosphere, they will look at the building relationship to the street, height and street enclosure, parking location and screening, storefront relation to pedestrian traffic and setbacks. They are proposing front yard setbacks between a 5 foot minimum and 10 foot maximum setback. Discussions today proposed a zero front yard setback for some businesses. The side yard would require a minimum of 10 feet separation or zero feet with a fire wall. The building must occupy 60% of the frontage or 40% on the one-way pairs. Parking may occupy 30% of the frontage, or 50% on the one-way pairs. This is an attempt to get the buildings closer to the sidewalk. They are trying to encourage more mixed-use buildings.
The overlay district includes some design standards for commercial/mixed use buildings. The front entrance will open to the sidewalk. There will be no blank walls greater than 20 feet along the street, no front garage doors, a ground floor minimum of 50% glass/doors. They would allow a flat roof or a pitched roof for commercial development, mechanical equipment would require screening, and they have defined standards for a "cottage shop".
Residential buildings would have a front entrance, a porch, stoop or ADA ramp. Parking and loading will be in accordance with Section 5.01 and 5.02 of the existing zoning ordinance. A 3 foot screening wall would be required, along with the option for shared parking. There are requirements for landscaping and screening with street trees, parking lot landscaping and parking lot screening, screening the greenbelt from the residential development. Streetscape requirements include a minimum of a 6 foot curb lawn, a minimum of a 6 foot sidewalk, city street lights, one street tree every 40 feet and parallel parking would be allowed on city streets where allowed by the city engineer.
Mr. Cramer described the district boundaries. LSL Planning met with the Advisory Committee this afternoon and will hear from the Planning Commission tonight. They will make the proposed revisions to the form-based code overlay district. A public hearing will be held and a recommendation made to City Council following that. They would anticipate coming back to the Planning Commission in about a month with a revised draft.
Discussion was held by the Planning Commission regarding the overlapping of the Downtown Overlay District and the Northside Downtown Overlay District. Is there going to be a plan for Main Street and then a plan for between the one-way pairs with a lot of no-man's land in between. Could there be some overlapping of these zones that would provide a transition from one of these zones to the other?
Ms. Hanna asked if there is a report from the Housing Committee? Mr. Baker stated there will be a presentation next Monday at the Housing Commission meeting about the housing study. Mr. Baker thinks there will be a breakdown by price of housing in the community included in the study. Mrs. Hanna does not like the idea of expanding the district to Grove Park as there is currently existing housing in this area. She also does not like the idea of zero lot lines. These streets have high traffic volumes and they go by at high rates of speed. The Planning Commission would like to have continued discussion of this proposal as there were many questions regarding the redevelopment of this area.
7. Communications
Planning and Zoning News was included in the packet.
8. Report of the Chairperson
Ms. Svenson reminded the Planning Commission of their retreat this weekend at the "H" Hotel, beginning at 8:30 a.m. until approximately 1:00 p.m.
9. Report of the Planning Director
No report.
10. Adjourn
Adjournment at 9:12 p.m. was unanimously approved.
Respectfully submitted,
Keith Baker, AICP

Alcoa CEO to FoxBiz: The Economy and the Auto Industry are 'Totally Coming Back'
Klaus Kleinfeld would know. The auto industry needs what his company makes. So do aerospace companies... and skyscraper builders. Alcoa, [AA] Aluminum Company of America, has been around since 1888, when aluminum was considered one of the rarest of metals and ran for about $545 a pound. (Napoleon III's baby rattle was made of jewel-encrusted aluminum. Swear. There's a picture of it on Alcoa's website!http://www.alcoa.com/global/en/about_alcoa/time_machine/time_machine.asp)
Okay, back to CEO Klaus Kleinfeld. My point is, he is one of the best CEO's from whom we can get a read on the economy, both U.S.-centric and globally, along with the auto industry's health as well.
If aluminum's use is becoming more widespread, should you own Alcoa? Should you own the physical metal itself? Some THREE new ETFs will be focused on aluminum. If those funds buy up aluminum, what will that do to the price? In a Fox Business EXCLUSIVE, Kleinfeld makes bold predictions I believe you should definitely hear. The clips are below.

Waiting for the sun to hide her shining face
As I look back in the sky

The fun I thought for a teen age kid
Was like a song that has to end
And the track I next to hear was of a solemn kind
For that's how I feel it now being all alone. . .

Those reaching this conclusion include five U.S. Supreme Court justices, who last week ruled that the key part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is obsolete.
The federal government need not oversee Southern elections any longer because counties and states are doing an honest job themselves, the court majority said.
New Mexico state Rep. Nate Cote followed the story closely and then made his own observation.
"If the South is better, the Southwest is worse," he said.
Cote, D-Organ, said he has been frustrated by the slowness of the state attorney general in investigating abuses against voters on Election Night last November in the border town of Chaparral.
Chaparral's was a chaotic scene, reminiscent of Selma, Ala., on Oct. 7, 1963, when 300 blacks lined up to register to vote at the courthouse. The sheriff in Selma, whose name was Jim Clark, made sure his deputies were available to arrest what he called "the demonstrators."
At the Far South Fire Station in Chaparral last fall, lines of voters snaked outside the polling station. The Otero County commissioners had declined requests from Cote and others to establish an early voting location in Chaparral, citing extra expenses of $3,500.
The nearest early voting location was 85 miles away in Alamogordo, the county seat. It meant that most people in the Otero County portion of Chaparral had to wait until Election Day to vote.
The Chaparral polling place had only had one voting booth and one voter list, even though people from two precincts were voting there. This combination of indifference and poor planning by the county clerk and commissioners ensured that the lines would be among the longest and slowest in the country. The last person in line in Chaparral did not vote until 10:45 p.m.
In between, Hispanics waiting to participate in democracy got a sense of the Old South in the modern Southwest.
The election judge in Chaparral saw that line of brown-skinned voters and decided she needed help. But she did not call for more translators, poll workers or another voting machine. She called the sheriff, just as they did in Selma.
By the official account of the Otero County clerk, voters were noisy, even unruly. Those in line said this was not true.
The county government that could not afford to give Chaparral an early voting site had ample resources to dispatch eight deputies to stand over voters trapped in those long lines.
Deputies set up yellow crime-scene tape around the polling place. One woman told me they threatened her with arrest because she was among the volunteers passing out water and chairs to voters. Her parents, 88 and 89 years old, were among those in line.
So intimidating were the deputies that children were assigned to bring water to waiting voters. Chaparral residents figured that the sheriff would not arrest a child, but he might lock up adults.
Optimism could not be crushed among the voters, even with the heavy police presence.
One woman waited in line for more than five hours as the temperatures dropped to the mid-40s. She stuck it out until she voted, excited to exercise her right.
"Voting is one of the best things about being an American," she said.
In Las Cruces, members of the community organization New Mexico Café were preparing for a post-election party when they received a phone call about the mess in Chaparral.
"The line at the fire station isn't moving. People are getting cold and some are leaving," one woman told them.
Another problem was that the poll workers had run out of provisional ballots, meaning those whose addresses did not match records in this combined precinct were not being allowed to vote.
Volunteers arrived like a small cavalry at 7:15 p.m.
"We found that the police had been called, but we never figured out why," one said. "About 150 people were still in line. We made hot chocolate, found blankets and sweaters for voters and lit our candles. We started to sing. We sang to distract people from the discomfort of standing, and we sang to make people laugh and make people feel safe in the dark.
"We were able to get more provisional ballots, and we put in calls to the secretary of state about the disorganized process."
Cote won the election that night. In March, he asked Attorney General Gary King for an investigation of voter intimidation.
Witness statements were taken, but Cote said he is tired of waiting for results.
Now, he said, he may ask the federal government to do its own investigation. Especially bothersome to him is that law-abiding people who showed up to vote in an American town were confronted by armed deputies.
Given what he saw in Chaparral, Cote said, the Voting Rights Act still has a place in America, if not in the South, in the Southwest.

BRIDGETON — A Vineland man convicted of an armed robbery on Christmas Day 2010 was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison, the Cumberland County Prosecutors Office announced.
Steven Brizak, 32, robbed the CVS pharmacy at Main Road and Chestnut Avenue in Vineland for painkillers. He demanded the drugs from a pharmacy technician and displayed what a technician believed to be a handgun.
Brizak fled through a drive-thru window after he received the drugs, authorities said. The gun, tossed in a wooded area, was an Italian-made starter pistol. The pharmacy technician later told investigators she was familiar with Brizak because he was a customer.
Brizak was convicted in January of first-degree robbery. Superior Court Judge Darrell M. Fineman also sentenced him to three years in prison for theft and 18 months for possession of an imitation firearm for an unlawful purpose. Those sentences will run concurrently with the 10-year prison term.

Diane Schuller Photography ~ on-location lifestyle photography for pets, livestock and their people
It won't take long to see how much enjoyment Diane gets by photographing animals! She has lived with animals all her life and they include dogs, cats, horses, and farmyard chickens and geese too! She no longer has farmyard animals but she and her husband share their rural home with three active dogs, each with an entertaining character.
Similar to children, animals photographed in their own environment are unihibited in how they are willing to express themselves. Diane loves to capture them whether at their fun-loving best, doing what they were bred to do, or settling down for a quiet moment. She wants you to look at the moments she captures and say, "Yes! that's exactly what s/he does!" Diane's not afraid to get wet, beat the heat and dust of summer, or get down in the snow. Just as with working with children or families, she does what it takes to ensure the animal is at ease and that she captures the essence of its personality.
A proud member of the Dog Writers' Association of America, Diane is pleased to keep company with other writers and photographers. Diane is dedicated to giving back as well, offering her photography services to help animal rescue or well-being organizations to raise awareness or funds for their endeavours.

Luis J. Colon
Omar Collazo-Matias
VINELAND — Police arrested two men they say are responsible for a string of burglaries that have plagued Chestnut Avenue businesses for the past two weeks.
Omar Collazo-Matias, 21, of the 300 block of Axtell Avenue and Luis J. Colon, 24, of the 500 block of South Fourth Street were arrested Sunday evening after police responded to an alarm at Giant Laundromat.
At 10:41 p.m., officers responding to the laundry in the 300 block of West Chestnut Avenue found the glass front door of the business smashed. Patrolman Brian Cole was able to detain Collazo-Matias near the crime scene, police said.
An investigation by detectives led to Collazo-Matias being charged with the laundry burglary as well as nine other Center City burglaries that have occurred since Jan. 2.
A short time after police responded to the laundry alarm, Detective Ron DeMarchi spotted a suspicious person in the area of Sixth Street and Chestnut Avenue. The person, later identified as Colon, was seen peeking in business windows and then looking around, according to a police report.
Colon, who was wearing a hoodie pulled over his head, matched the description of another suspect in the prior burglaries. When Colon was detained, police said, he was carrying a hammer and screwdriver.
Colon later made incriminating statements, which revealed his participation in multiple burglaries along with Collazo-Matias, the police report said.
Collazo-Matias and Colon were charged with multiple counts of burglary, attempted burglary, criminal mischief and theft. Each was held in Cumberland County Jail on $50,000 bail.
The investigation is ongoing. Additional charges and arrests are pending, according to Lt. Alan Pagnini.

The best solution for album list (and facets, too) would be, if there was a separation between display and sorting. I use for sorting an extra field %artist sort%. So there is no need for complicated title formatting and I can sort all artists the way I want. For example: I want to sort "Ludwig van Beethoven" under the letter B, but display it as I wrote before. I use "BEETHOVEN LUDWIG" as sortstring and get the desired result. It's a little bit more work while tagging, but it's worth it.
While it's not a bad idea per se, making it fully configureable doesn't make much sense.
It allows too many nonsensical combinations. How would you sort %artist% by %tracknumber%, for example?
In Facets, you can already add both Artist and Artist Sort columns, sort by the Artist Sort column, and finally hide the column by resizing it to a width of 0px.

Stylist: Lisa
I'm going to give this place a five start because the place and the staff is amazing but LISTEN TO THE OTHER REVIEWS AND DO NOT GET ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT DOREE. I really needed a haircut so I called this place to get Doree to do my hair but she was booked for months so I decided to get someone else in the salon. I got Lisa and let's just say that I got more complements on my hair before my haircut than afterwords.
Don't get my wrong- she seems like she does know how to do hair and such a very friendly person and answered all of my curly-hair questions, but I was just a little disappointed with how my curls looked like afterwords. Next time I think I'm just going to listen to the reviews on here and go to Doree next time.
On the positive note, like I mentioned earlier, the salon and the staff are amazing. There was a place to put my bag and my coat, they offered me tea and even refilled my tea for me when I was done with first cup! It's a very organized and clean place. I do enjoy the service there.
Stylist: Doree MortilloRating:
Amazing with my long curly hair! Doree is the first stylist that actually sat and talked with me before touching my hair! I was very nervous, until I shook her hand, then I was at peace. Doree took the time to really look at me and my hair and find out what I WANTED . I've been an loyal client now for 3 years, and I have gotten great rewards for sending in my sister and 3 of my friends! An awesome find! Thank you Doree

Stylist: DOREERating:
I am so happy to have found Doree! I have gone into the city for the last 10 years, paying the tolls, and the parking and fighting the traffic! I have gone to Devachan, but honestly, the cuts were not always consistent. I have also gone to Ouidad so I know that what Deva says about curly hair never cut wet, or combed is not always the case. I need to comb my hair or I have a head of knots! Doree is THE CURLY HAIR EXPERT IN NJ! She does my cuts and my color, and I am never disappointed! I need my hair cut every 12 to 18 weeks and my hair looks great that whole time. In the summer she does a few high lights and in the warmer months I get a glaze. I LOVE HER! She is not expensive and SO FRIENDLY! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Call the salon now because she is very in demand! Say hi to her from me! lol
Stylist: DOREERating:
I usually go to NYC to get my hair done either Quidad or DEva, and I admit I was nervous about trying a new stylist with my curls. (I"ve been butchered many times) I called and just booked a consultation with Doree to make sure I was comfortable. I did lots of research and found her name all over the internet with amazing reviews from many happy people, but I never trust what I read. As soon as she walked over to greet me I knew I was going to be happy! We talked for a while, and she asked me all about my hair and what I loved about my hair. ( No one had ever asked me that before) Then we went to her computer and she showed me pictures of different options with my hair type! (another first) I wanted to get my hair cut and colored right then, but unfortunately she was completely booked (and now I understand why) after my awesome happy consult I went to the desk to book my cut and color with Doree.. I did have to wait 2 weeks but SHE WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! she used a few different techniques on my hair and its been 4 weeks now and i really feel like my hair just keeps getting better! Not only a great cut, but you should see the amazing color she gave me... very natural with an awesome pop of tone!!! THANK YOU DOREE! THANK YOU NATURALLY CURLY!!! My advice...Call, book a consult AND A HAIRCUT!!! !

Which test should I be administering?
It's a common question from new clients. The "Available Test" list in an account might be a bit overwhelming, especially to a new testing administrator.
Many of the test titles are self-explanatory, such as the Accountant test or Legal Typing test. Questions commonly arise, however, in the category of computer skills tests. We have many different options for Microsoft Office tests, with the most frequently used tests being Microsoft Excel tests and Microsoft Word tests.
If you're testing skills in these topics (Word, Excel), here's a quick guide on which tests are which:
- "Standard" tests: Most commonly used tests for Word and Excel (35 questions each). These comprehensive tests cover basic, intermediate and advanced skills and provide the overall snapshot of the user's skills. Also often used to determine training needs of current employees. These tests do record the time taken on the test but do not have a time limit.
- "Standard 30 minute" tests: Same comprehensive test as described above, but these tests will stop at 30 minutes, with any unanswered/unattempted questions marked as "incorrect". Often used in unproctored environments when user is testing at their home.
- "Advanced" tests: Similar in length to the Standard tests (approximately 30 minutes) but covering only Advanced topics (no basic or intermediate skills).
- "Basic" tests: Similar in length to Standard tests but just covering the basics of each program (Copy, Paste, Print, etc).
You may see an "F" (for Adobe Flash technology) at the end of an Office 2007 test title and, if so, that's the better version to use. All Office 2010 tests are flash based, which provides a better user experience (so you won't see an "F" at the end of those).
If you're looking for a combination test that covers MS Office in a single test, we have a "Digital Literacy Software Skills" test that covers the basics of Word, Excel and Windows in a single test. Because it only contains 28 questions, it won't go into much depth in any of those topics but will give a quick snapshot of skills in that area.
Test Admins also find these topics lists useful for the Microsoft Excel test and the Microsoft Word test. The topics lists are found on those linked pages (above right of red dots).
As always, we're here to help with the questions you have.

If I was to confess that I'd not seen Phantom of the Paradise before I was sent the Arrow Video Blu-ray release for review I'm sure there are many out there who haven't seen it too. For somebody like me though who has an obsession with films I've not seen yet (they tend to pray on my mind), I jump at the chance to see films like Phantom of the Paradise – and with this release I'm very glad I did.
Phantom of the Paradise is a rock opera that takes a little dash of Faust, a little Phantom of the Opera and some The Picture of Dorian Gray and creates something pretty spectacular. It tells the tale of Winslow Leach (William Finley »

Being a massive fan of writer and director Brian De Palma even since those early years and it soon became apparent his approach to filmmaking is unique. Visually, he's been one of the best for decades with camerawork often dizzying to the point of breathlessness. Like most, he is prone to a few career missteps along the way in his distinguished career. De Palma does however, weave between mainstream and independent eccentricity like no other with many of his features fusing those two aspects. He's a director that you look at and think, that guy directed Carrie and Scarface; Raising Cain and Mission: Impossible; Body Double and Carlito'S Way. Really? Cinema so far apart in scope and personality, yet intrinsically and artistically linked in style and substance. »

War in the Pacific: America at War: (Volume 1)
Item Description
War in the Pacific begins with Japan's interest in colonialism, the assassination of Marshall Chang Tso-lien in Manchuria, and Japan's subsequent decision to 'Strike South.' The attack on Pearl Harbor is examined in light of the difficulties Japan's navy had to overcome to launch such an attack.
The atrocities inflicted upon innocent people and prisoners of war, even prior to the Rape of Nanking, are covered in detail throughout Japan's conquest and reign of terror. Here, in succinct and lucid presentation, is all the information you wanted to know about the Bataan Death March, the Burma Road, Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo, the Death Railway, the Kamikazes, the Firebombing of Japan, and difficulties Japan had in ending the war.
The chapters on 'Other' Surrender Ceremonies and 'Independent Forces and Unnecessary Battles,' reveal new information never before published.
