Better than a personal best is what Pony Sokiri is after.
The best girls' triple jump at Thomas R. Proctor High School is Sokiri's 39 feet, 3¼ inches. The senior's goal this season is to go 40 feet.
"For me, I guess it's a target, that's what I'm working toward," Sokiri said. "If I get it, then it's 41 or 42 feet. It's something for me to look to get; a little motivation."
Sokiri established her personal best at the state outdoor meet last spring. The jump earned Sokiri a third-place finish and a school record. Her jump of 38 feet, 11 inches at last year's state qualifying meet was a school record for eight days, before she set a new one.
To jump further, Sokiri, who is looking at Division I track next year, put in extra work in the off season. She gave up basketball to compete in indoor track for the first time. The experiment went well. Sokiri finished fifth at the state indoor meet last month.
Sokiri also made weight training a priority. The total body workouts that included cardiovascular exercises left her dripping with sweat, but will be worth the effort to generate more speed on the runway or hang in the air a split second longer toward the 40 mark.
"I'll work hard to get it," Sokiri said. "I'll do everything in my power to get it. I know I'm going to get it."
Sokiri's added strength has left her with a good problem: incorporating her new-found musculature into the triple jump, which is all about timing. Sokiri has to learn how to coordinate power and technique.
Last season, Sokiri started the year jumping 35 feet on a good day. Now she's closer to 37 to 37½ feet.
"I think it's a shock for her to be stronger and faster," Proctor coach Ron Raux said. "Her body has to adjust to the new power."

Told through the eyes of three Chinese Canadian siblings, Choy's first novel gives readers a historical glimpse at life in Vancouver's Chinatown during the 1930s and 1940s. Jook-Liang, the only sister in a family of three boys; Jung-Sum, the second adopted son; and Sek-Lung (Sekky), the sickly youngest son are searching for their identities, each presenting a moving account of love and loss that combine to tell the story of their family. Although Choy's work is fictional, it realistically echoes the difficult life struggles of early Chinese Cantonese immigrants as captured in such biographical works as Denise Chong's The Concubine's Children (LJ 11/15/94) and Ben Fong-Torres's The Rice Room (LJ 4/1/94). This book was a number-one best seller in Canada and co-winner of the Trillum Prize for the best book of 1995. Highly recommended for medium and large fiction collections.?Shirley N. Quan, Orange Cty. P.L.., Garden Grove, Cal.
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
This eloquent, confident debut, co-winner of Canada's 1995 Trillium Prize, offers a complex view of family life among Chinese immigrants living in Vancouver as social pressures from within and without have a lasting effect on three children. In the years before WW II, with Japan already invading China, life in Vancouver's Chinatown is hard but seemingly safe for Liang, Jung, and young Sekky. Each of them has a special friend, one who, taking the place of their endlessly working parents, can give them precious memories. For Liang, her attachment to the monkey-faced, crippled Old Wong, veteran of the railroad-building camps in the Rockies, is amply rewarded: He pampers her, encouraging her to tap dance and emulate her idol Shirley Temple. For the adopted Jung, brutal abuse at an early age has made him tough and wary, drawing him to boxing and the incomparable example of Joe Louis, but also to a role model closer to home: supertough Frank Yuen, the best boxer around, who nurtures Jung's talent and also makes him aware of his sexual difference. Finally, Sekky, ailing but alert, finds himself with two powerful guides: his Old China Grandmama, who gives him back his health and whose belief in ghosts keeps her with him after her death; and his beautiful teenage neighbor Meiying, whose love for a Japanese boy in the midst of rising anti-Japanese hysteria moves Sekky to doubt the wisdom of the prevailing hatred. But for each child, the joy of sharing also comes with the pain of leaving, as Old Wong returns to China, Frank Yuen joins the US Marines, and, like Grandmama, Meiying dies, the entrenched racism that forced her from her boyfriend also keeping her from receiving emergency medical care. Childhood lessons are quietly, powerfully drawn here, with Choy's evocation of harsh immigrant reality nothing short of masterful. -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.

It's in with the new and maybe out with the old for North Colonie School District.
Last week the district launched its recently overhauled Web site in efforts to improve upon communications with students and parents.
Online for more than a week and with school yet to begin, the site has already received positive feedback from viewers, said its designer, Erin McNulty.
McNulty is the communications specialist for Capital Region Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). She serves as the Web master to North Colonie and the Mohonasen Central School district in Rotterdam.
This (site) is really a toll of communication between the school district and the community, she said. "It's a totally newly redesigned Web site with a ton of new features."
Talks of breathing new life into the district's Web site have been ongoing for several years, according to district officials. Deciding that the upcoming school year was the time to do it, officials budgeted for the upgrade in the school's budget. The new site was completed at a cost of $30,000.
However, there could be savings by way of doing away with old district communications via mail. Printing the district's newsletter and sending out various mailings can add up, said Randy Ehrenberg, district superintendent.
District officials are discussing what could come of the costly community newsletters. No decision has been made.
Among some of the features included on the site include: up-to-date calendar information, meal prices and menus for all eight schools, a calendar of school activities for each school, contact information, staff directories, up-to-date information on school closings and delays, job postings and the latest news headlines and happenings.
One of the hopes for the new site is parents won't be turning to television news stations or waiting by the radio to learn that school has been closed due to inclement weather, said McNulty. They can go online and check instantly.

Diaphragms and HIV
Like us on Facebook
There are all types of methods of birth control out there. The Pill, the Patch, the NuvaRing, the Depo-Provera shot, IUDs, and of course condoms.
Some women like to use a diaphragm. It's a shallow, dome shaped cup with a flexible rim that you place inside your vagina to cover your cervix so no sperm can get into your uterus. It's great because you can insert it up to 2 hours before you think you might be getting it on and that way you don't have to interrupt the mood to deal with your condom, plus most men can't even feel it! That sounds great and all, but I want to know...

Weighing about half of a pound, the Marmot Men's Calen 1/2-Zip Insulated Pullover brings the warmth without the weight for your ski sessions. Its lightweight appeal is due to Marmot's proprietary Thermal R insulation that's surprisingly light, warm, and durable. A DriClime collar keeps your neck cozy and dry, and the smooth nylon ripstop shell makes it easy for you to layer a waterproof shell over this pullover.
The Calen features a half-zip front for ventilation in case you get too hot when you plow through powder. Angel-Wing Movement lets you reach, stretch, and bend without the jacket riding up your body. Elasticated cuffs are soft against your wrists, and the elastic hem makes sure no warmth escapes into the cold frigid air you slice through on your skis.

It's ok

I saw this on sale, and it looked like a good buy to replace my old Patagonia Nanopuff. However, this jacket just is not as warm as the Nanopuff. In fact, it's not that warm at all. I might have been able to accept this, but when the wind starts blowing, it is really noticeable. It is wind resistant, but not anywhere close to windproof. This is not suitable for winter bike rides or doing anything where the wind is blowing. I'm returning it and paying extra for the functionality of the Nanopuff.
Just Right
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
I don't understand John Pruitt's review, because I actually found this to be LESS puffy than I was expecting. I've worn it under three shells and it's amazingly comfortable in all of them, with no limitation to my movement. It's also surprisingly wind resistant, so just today (high 20s, breezy) I wore it as my only jacket. I haven't had a chance to really test it yet, but in my short periods outside, it's been comfortable and warm. Also, when combined with other layers, it doesn't create that annoying bulge in the armpit area (I hate that) that other mid layers can create. I haven't tried packing it, so I can't speak to that aspect.
Too puffy
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:True to size
Was hoping for a low profile layer of insulation. This jacket was nice but the insulation was way too puffy. Looked like a full down coat.
Is there dual hand pockets?

New security and mobility requirements will make EVAS a network requirement.
Network access control has been around for a decade, and the global recession and years of vendor consolidation certainly took a toll on NAC solutions. But NAC is not fading away. Instead, NAC has evolved into a new and stronger market segment called EVAS (Endpoint Visibility, Access, and Security). CISOs should place NAC in their legacy file and begin to assess EVAS as part of their security strategies.
Over the last few years, security professionals continue to fall farther and farther behind with security controls and incident detection. Why? Many organizations approach cybersecurity with an array of signature-based tools, perimeter gateways, disjointed processes, and limited security resources/skills. These legacy tactics can no longer keep up with increasingly dangerous threats. CISOs can improve situational awareness with the right big data security analytics to help with controls adjustments, incident detection, problem isolation, and remediation. EnCase Analytics, with all the requirements of a big data security analytics solution, will provide built-in algorithms, ad-hoc query capabilities, and security technology integration in order to help organizations accelerate, automate, and streamline overall cybersecurity operations. Additionally, by focusing on the often neglected area of endpoint artifacts, EnCase Analytics can help security-conscious organizations benefit from proactive assessment of the security risks and gain complete visibility into their security posture.
Many enterprise organizations claim that they already consider security data collection and analysis as "big data," but they don't have security analytics solutions capable of addressing their scalability, performance, or operational needs. ESG believes that tactical security analytics solutions and compliance-centric SIEM tools are no match for today's big data security analytics needs. Leading vendors are addressing this gap with real-time and asymmetric big data security analytics systems built for scale and intelligence. IBM is one of few vendors offering an integrated approach that spans the entire continuum of enterprise security analytics needs.
Synergistic acquisition will complement existing RSA business and open new doors.
Organizations may use static, dynamic, or other types of testing tools to validate the security of their web applications, but does all that testing really make a difference? According to ESG research, it does. This research brief looks at the relationship between the use of application security testing tools and the confidence levels that organizations report about the security of their web applications.
Best solutions will collect, process, analyze, and correlate data in three key areas.
Mainstream enterprises need algorithms, intelligence, automation, and collaboration to succeed.
Strong vision, but Cisco must back it up with competitive products, sales/marketing, and user education.
Loss of IT control requires more security oversight, policy management, enforcement and analytics.
Pointing the cybersecurity finger at China won't solve our problems.
Privacy aside, is this program really worthwhile?
The balance of security processes and skills is lopsided in most organizations. Network security trumps server security at most organizations in a number of ways, from IT experience to the common perception that networks simply require more expansive security efforts than servers. ESG investigated the state of network and server security at midmarket and enterprise organizations, and considered the ramifications for organizations that expend more security resources on their networks at the expense of their servers.
Combination offers benefits for risk management, incident detection, and improved security efficiency.
More Results:
Jon Oltsik is an ESG senior principal analyst and the founder of the firm's cybersecurity service. With almost 30 years of technology industry experience, Jon is widely recognized as an expert in all aspects of cybersecurity and is often called upon to help customers understand a CISO's perspective and strategies.

Why don't they see that, if God existed, that Evolution, the result of random gene mutation, would be just one part of the Almighty's big tool box? If he created the universe, he set all the rules. Speed of light, gravity, time, strings, quarks, protons, neutrons, electrons, atoms, molecules, particle decay, radiation, it all works according to a strict set of rules. And evolution is the result of all that. If there is a God, he probably made all those rules. And then hit the 'Start' Button and enjoyed watching how it all unfolds. Not much unlike a programmer who created a simulation.
Isn't that enough?
I don't get why it's such an aggressive "either-or" debate when both could be true.
If one believes in a god, shouldn't evolution act as evidence for how wonderful and complex that god is?
Is it really that important to people that everything happened literally as described in the Bible?
Creationists are not afraid of evolution. They just realize that evolution is unscientific.
is true, observable science, but evolution (the idea that non-life became life on the early life and then evolved over billions of years to become man) is not. We can't jump in a time machine and observe evolution happening, and any 'facts' of evolution, such as DNA, the fossil record, morphology, etc., must be subjectively interpreted (the facts don't speak for themselves), and could just as easily (actually, easier) be interpreted in a Biblical, creationist way.
There are plenty of websites which show the fallacies of evolution, and there are over 100 young earth/universe evidences. An objective person sees that these evidences indicate a young earth and that evolution therefore could not have happened.
The core problem is that the Bible is a major issue for a lot of people. The Christian God is unacceptable, and so of course evolution must be true. For those who accept evolution and God's existence, for some reason a Creator God Who created in six days is unacceptable.
I don't see how the glory of God is shown in millions of years of animal death culminating in the evolution of man, but everyone's entitled to an opinion. I think God's glory is clearly better shown in His creation of a sinless, perfect universe---which only became subject to death and futility after sin was committed, an act by free humans.
Go to creation.com (look up "101 evidences for a young earth" and "It's not science") for more information on what I wrote above. You can also research a great deal of other topics.
Scienceagainstevolution.org is another great site which shows the copious holes in evolution. Again, speciation is true, but this doesn't prove or imply evolution in any way. There is much observational science which shows that evolution is false. It is not surprising at all that large numbers of scientists in our day are abandoning it.
Oh dear, you are in a serious need of a major dose of AronRa.
Here are 2 1/2 hours of a rundown of what kind of scientific evidence for evolution we have (and this is basically just the index!).
I dare you to watch it and tell me again evolution is not proven beyond reasonable doubt.

This is stunning: "Producers of ethanol made from corn receive 73 cents to provide an amount of biofuel with the energy equivalent to that in one gallon of gasoline."
That's 73 cents in federal tax subsidies, says the Congressional Budget Office — or 45 cents for every gallon of ethanol blended into gasoline.
Do you suppose ethanol subsidies, totaling more than $6 billion, might be a good congressional target in an era of raging budget deficits?
I put that question recently to Colorado Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet. Bennet's spokeman told me that while the senator "doesn't think we can afford to endlessly pump federal dollars into subsidies for mature energy sources at the rate we have been," he nevertheless "believes we need a more comprehensive approach that addresses these subsidies, be (they) for biofuels, oil and gas, or nuclear power."
I think that's a "no," although maybe it's a "maybe."
Udall was more forthright, and interesting. He does not favor "singling out ethanol — with all the implications that might have for many of our rural communities," unless "we are prepared to abandon all subsidies and federally driven investment incentives designed to strengthen domestic energy production." (Alas, we're not.) But he does oppose "an irrational tariff policy that excludes imports" of ethanol from places like Brazil, Australia and India.
As it happens, a bipartisan coalition of senators, ranging from Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., also favors eliminating or reducing that tariff. But they would go further than Udall and eliminate the subsidy for domestic supplies as well, which is up for renewal at year's end.
As the 17 senators explained in a letter to Senate leadership, "The data overwhelmingly demonstrate that the costs of the current ethanol subsidy and tariff far outweigh the benefits . . . ethanol tax credits cost taxpayers $1.78 for each gallon of gasoline consumption reduced, and $750 for each metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions reduced."
And if you don't believe those senators, how about Al Gore? Gore may have broken a tie vote in the Senate over ethanol tax credits when he was vice president, but last month in Greece he admitted that "first-generation ethanol, I think, was a mistake."
"It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies," he added, noting the diversion of 40 percent of our corn crop into ethanol also "has an impact on food prices."
To be sure, Gore continues to have a soft spot for the even more outlandish subsidies for biofuels produced from grasses and other non-edible organic material — although there still isn't a single large-scale commercial producer of such fuels. Fifteen years from now, if Gore sticks with his schedule for confronting inconvenient truths, he may well be admitting that cellulosic ethanol subsidies were a boondoggle, too.
Make no mistake: Ending corn ethanol subsidies could hike fuel prices, especially if the tariff survived, because the federal renewable fuels standard requires oil companies to blend an escalating amount of ethanol into gasoline. If senators were truly focused on consumers, they'd call for an end to the fuels standard, too.
Still, it's better to stick motorists with the tab for ethanol than force it onto taxpayers — and not just for budgetary reasons. Voters would have a better idea of the true cost of their government's bizarre ethanol obsession if the impact were fully visible at the pump.

It definitely does a good job of concealing redness, but unfortunately it's thick so it sticks to dry patches, making it difficult to blend sometimes. I used this under my foundation, and after about 5 hours I noticed a crusty green splotch on my jawline. I recommend applying this by placing the tiniest amount on the back of your hand and warming it up with your finger. But you have to do it quickly - it dries fast.

I have been trying to find a good green corrector for my rosacea and found this. This stuff is crazy good. It's very thick and wears for hours. I applied it all over the red patches and they faded immediately and lasted well over 12 hours.
The only reason I tried this brand, which I am on the fence about for their shadows, was because it was on sale and I couldn't find anything else. I definitely will be repurchasing. I am cool - toned and this green is cool based and works great. I have tried a few other greens that didn't seem to work right. I think they are warm greens and that's what happened.
One thing with this product, less is more and blend lol.

Physicians Formula Green Conceal is a nice concealer for the price and accessibility. You can find this at any grocery store or Ulta for $10.00. The formula is creamy soft, blends nicely with buildable coverage that is easy to work with and spreads effortlessly. You can use your fingers or a brush. The tube squeezes out rapidly and a little goes a long way. You will be wise to barely touch the tube or you wind up with a large quarter size dollop when a drop is all you need. The color is more cool than warm. I have a warm undertone with yellows and wish they had a warmer green for faces like mine. This is precise for the cool toned skin hues; if you are warm you may not like it. Blue veined ladies will love this.
I have rosacea and require a concealer for areas on my face that are inflamed or ruddy. I want something that will be gentle to my skin as those of us in the red faced club need tranquil products that keep our faces looking beautiful. This primer definitely fills in pores, cracks, rough patches and smooth's out any areas that need leveling. Yet, this does not cause acne or dry out my skin.
This is not my HG. I prefer Dermablend even though the price is twice as expensive, $20.00 for a tube even smaller. Dermablend is perfect for my warm toned skin. The shade of green is on the warm side. Physicians Formula is a blue based green that will truly help conceal those pale faced blue undertone faces. PF Green Conceal is a great product! I am trying to switch over to Physicians Green Conceal because this does not dry out my skin, does not cause acne and although the color is not perfect for me it feels like this product is extremely gentle to my skin.

About my skin: combination to oily, sometimes dry from medications. Very very red with a lot of purpleish pigmentation. Semi acne prone and sensitive. This covers beautifully. I take a drop of it and put 4 dots from the side of my nose to the side of my hair line, stipple with my sigma f80, and then blend a lot. It's the thinnest but best amount of pigment layer ever. It lasts all day, has no smell, doesn't irritate me or break me out, and packaging is nice. It covers my redness like a dream and makes me glow and blends under my foundation perfectly. Would recommend to anyone except people with ebony skin because I think it would be too light. Lasts forever, but if it ever runs out I will repurchase.

This stuff is a dupe for Smashbox Green primer and way cheaper. LOVE THIS STUFF. I agree that you only need a little.
Age: 30-35

I think this product is great! I have a lot of redness around my nose and mouth. I get 2-4 hours of wear from my foundation before the redness starts coming through. My foundation is thin, water-based, sheer, and luminous (Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua), and I love it. However, the Rudolph effect was making me feel I should change to a full coverage foundation. I tried this, and I'm happy again.
I found it best to mix this with my moisturizer for my large red areas. 1 part green to 1-2 parts moisturizer. I use a very small squirt of the concealer to cover about half of my face. I apply with a brush and then use fingers to rub it in well. If I put it straight on by itself, it was hard to blend and made my foundation look a bit cakey. Blending it with moisturizer really helps with that, although my foundation doesn't look quite as "wow" as it does when applied on naked skin. I put enough on to where I don't see the red; I look a bit ghostly. Then I let it sink in and layer foundation over it. I use next-to-nothing flesh-toned concealer after putting on foundation. Before, I was layering concealer on in a lot of areas, and this diminished the finish of my foundation.
For spots, I put it straight on and layer foundation and/or a flesh-toned concealer over it. I use a brush and fingers, depending on how it's applying.
I have dark circles under my eyes that have a stripe of purple beneath and a stripe of red above. I use this on my under-eye area and it really cuts down the amount of yellow/flesh-toned concealer I have to use after foundation.
The thing I love most is that this makes my makeup stash so much more versatile. I'm PPP, but with my nose area red, I had to wear really bright, dark, and pigmented blushes to make my cheeks not blend in to the blotches. With this, I can wear my paler blushes and my cheeks have flush and definition. With the red around my mouth gone, my natural lipline stands out more. I can wear lip products in a much more casual way, such as dabbing on a cream lipstick without using liner.
This is the only green product I've tried, so I can't make comparisons. That said, I feel no need to try anything else. I'm very happy with it.

This stuff is like voodoo magic... I just put the TINIEST and I mean TINIEST amount on a spot on my face and it applies beautifully. The consistency is soo thick that it's a big bang for the little bucks you spend on it. I just put my foundation over it and the spot's gone!
Of course the best part is that it doesn't break me out! :)
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm

What an interesting product!!
pros: Does a great job of concealing redness!
cons: strange consistency--> not smooth or creamy at all, a little goes a long long long long way!
PACKAGING: Nice, easy to squeeze tube (able to control the amount that comes out).
PRICE: I can't remember how much the original price was, but I think it was about $9. When I bought it physicians formula was having a sale at CVS for $7 off, so I got it for around $2!! :D
NOTES: Make sure you PAT this concealer on instead of rubbing it. Also, use sparingly! It takes a bit of time to get used to. Works for me when I put a drop onto my fingers and then tap each of my fingers on the product to thin it out and spread it out, and THEN pat it onto my blemishes.
Age: 25-29

I used to use this but I finally threw it out this morning. It has ethylhexyl palmitate which is pore clogging and I finally realized that it was making my skin worse. I'm pretty sure. I also threw out a bronzer and a moisturizer that contained ethylhexyl palmitate. Otherwise this concealer wasn't that great anyway. didn't last all day etc..

I used to have those same problems too. I now only play hardcore so the increased bullet damage makes up for any lag issues. If more of you would play hardcore then we would have more game modes. Just saying, try it out cause you might like it. Nice videos, it reminded me of how bad the game sucked when I played core!
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 6:36 AM (in response to Ghost_Squad7678)
I have tried hardcore, I do in fact prefer it mostly, but I have the same issue in that as well, it is just less noticeable due to the fact of needing less damage to kill someone. Thank you for your reply sir.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.Ghost_Squad7678 Dec 4, 2012 6:43 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
Lag still exists in HC yes, but it's a lot less noticable for sure. Plus the weapons are more balanced cause they are all are deadly. I played core during the brief Nuketown 24/7 tease and noticed a HUGE difference. I still think HC should be more hardcore though.

I've been exclusive to HC since CoD 4, and let me tell you that HC or not, the Lag Comp is so ridiculous in this game it's not even funny. Just sayin' - Core or HC, either way it's bad. I don't have any fancy video capture cards otherwise I'd get video of HC and it's BS kills / deaths.

I have been tweeting David Vonderhaar for 2 weeks, I will NOT GIVE UP, for the sake of us all. Thanks for getting in a reply, it REALLY HELPS when EVERYONE REPLIES. I appreciate it because I myself spent around $200.00 on this game i.e. Hardened Edition + Season Pass, + standing in line for 2 hours, and I didn't do that just to deal with the issues in these videos. Thank you sir.

Number 7-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVuh_mub1bY
The above vid shouldn't be a submission, the guy is red barring (seen 40sec into the vid) so what does he expect. Deceptive vids like his are screwing it up for the legit vids. Nice effort getting the other ones in though.
It would be good if people did periodic checks of their connection strength when capturing their BS moments just to prove they're not clogging their line deliberately on the sly to "sex up" the footage.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 7:09 AM (in response to RatedM)
It is just showing the fact that even for people with LESSER CONNECTIONS this problem exists and that Lag Compensation DID NOT FIX ITS INTENDED PROBLEM. I am sorry I did not clarify that in this post. Thank you sir for pointing that out to The Community, it is appreciated GREATLY.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.RatedM Dec 4, 2012 7:29 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
A red bar does not mean a "lesser connection", red barring means the connection is absolutley inadequate for gaming, any game! But anyway I'm getting an increasing amount of BS very similar to the other vids as well so it's good people are getting stuff uploaded. Hope they fix it.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 7:41 AM (in response to RatedM)
A RED BAR means connection is not good, BUT that is what LAG COMPENSATION is suppose to FIX. Does it look like it is fixed in VIDEO #7? Ofcourse not.That was the point sir. Thanks for replying, We all just want this fixed. YOU + YOUR FRIENDS + SUPPORTING THIS THREAD = US getting something done TOGETHER. Don't forget that. We NEED to keep this moving so the REAL PROBLEM can be worked out so NOBODY has to suffer with these problems ANYMORE. Thank you sir.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.cuddlemonster69 Dec 4, 2012 8:42 AM (in response to RatedM)
I agree, number 7 is a very poor indication. Yes it is lag, but that one can be easily ruled out as the user's connection. 1 red bar is horrible. Its the vids with full green bars that shows issues similar to number 7 that are the problem.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 9:26 AM (in response to cuddlemonster69)
You FAIL to understand this ONE HUGE ISSUE, VIDEO #7 IS PROOF THAT on the OTHER end of the spectrum, LAG COMP DOES NOT WORK PERIOD even for people with LESSER CONNECTIONS SIR, that is the point of it. That IS A PROBLEM with this and MANY OTHER TITLES. I want to show ALL ASPECTS, not just RANDOM VIDEOS. This is the type of stuff they need to see so they UNDERSTAND the PROGRAMING DOES NOT DO WHAT IT IS INTENDED FOR, hence creating NEW problems, so on so forth. Thank you sir for the reply, I just want it fixed period, but people want to nit pick like TREYARCH, it DOES NOT HELP ANY OF US. THE POINT OF THE VIDEOS I POSTED IS TO SAY SOMETHING IS WRONG, CLEARLY IN EVERY VIDEO I POSTED SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE GAME, PERIOD. IT NEEDS FIXED, PERIOD.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.Noodle_Sensei Dec 4, 2012 7:36 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
The problems you speak of were much, much, much more apparent on COD,MW2 and MW3.
IF you had it good on those games, maybe it's just your turn to feel the thin end of the wedge.
I got mugged in those games so many times.
This game is actually playable, whereas earlier releases have been the exact opposite.
I'll take this over any other version.
Massive improvement. Apart from the theater debacle.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.RatedM Dec 4, 2012 7:44 AM (in response to Noodle_Sensei)
Be warned you may be loving it now but when they release another big patch soon to address the problem you may find your situation has switched and it'll be your turn to sit in the rage chair. This happened to me and many others during MW3s lifecycle, perfect one patch, poor again then great etc.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.Noodle_Sensei Dec 4, 2012 7:55 AM (in response to RatedM)
MW3 was patched in the right direction for me.
UNplayable at times to start with, just picked it up last week...Different game! Works good now.
But, having been on the thin end of the game play wedge for the last few releases, ill take
my fleeting success in this game and hope they patch it like they did with BO. Hardly at all. (from my perspective)
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 7:50 AM (in response to Noodle_Sensei)
The problems are not only being "spoken of", there is VIDEO PROOF of EXACTLY what the DEVELOPER DAVID VONDERHAAR asked for. I understand that now you are having fun playing, and I wish OTHER games were more playable for you too, but I have NEVER had the problems in this game with ANY OTHER TITLE, that is essentially WHY THEY NEED TO FIX THIS, for EVERYONE. Help support this thread so we can stop these problems from happening again. There is more to this than JUST THIS GAME. Future titles will have the SAME PROBLEMS unless they UNDERSTAND they can't just give us ANYTHING and we accept it. IT IS NOT FAIR TO ANYONE who has experianced this previously OR currently. I thought this was to FIX the problems that were ALREADY abundant, yet this game just shows the TRUE FLAWS, and now it's time to get a fix. Thank you for the reply sir.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.Noodle_Sensei Dec 4, 2012 8:01 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
Other players have had cronic problems in previous releases, myself included. At times when other players were having a whale of a time cleaning up.
The fact that the upper hand is on the other foot this time is unfortunate.
But just because it's not working for you, it doesn't mean it's not working for anyone else. Clearly it is or you wouldn't be complaining about it.
I was told constantly that i should just suck it up, or that i was just baaad at the game. Nobody listened to me when i had yr problems and the game never changed.
You'll forgive me if i hope they leave it as it is, because for once....i'm not the whipping boy (all the time).
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.zingaa Dec 4, 2012 7:48 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't your connection be brought down to a red bar from someone else having a bad connection? Someone lag switching?
If I understand lag comp correctly, If I have a great connection yet I'm in a lobby with everyone having a very weak connection isn't that going to "dumb down" my connection making it a yellow or even red bar?
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 7:55 AM (in response to zingaa)
I am not positive, but YES , I believe what you say is somewhat if not ALL true. I just don't understand why the game ALWAYS does what is in the videos above. SO FRUSTRATING. Thanks for commenting and for the question.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.RatedM Dec 4, 2012 8:08 AM (in response to zingaa)
A lag switching host is very obvious, everyone in the lobby will red bar for a short durations (due to the assh*le hitting his pathetic little lagswitch) and everyone will freeze on the spot during it so he can kill. A generally wobbly host however will cause different issues but the game will detect this and switch host. I'm more interested in cases similar to mine, where everyone has an apparent 4 solid bars but there's a clear discrepancy in hit detection and recieving instakills. Somethings out of whack and it ain't me.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.BuX Dec 4, 2012 8:32 AM (in response to zingaa)
Yes... it does... I run 30 meg and it's very stable but I find myself yellow and red barring a lot. I'll check the scoreboard after I die a lot of times to see who is alive and notice that while I'm in the process of getting shot I go from green to yellow to red then when I spawn it Might go back to full green
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 8:35 AM (in response to BuX)
Mine does the same, I pay attention to detail in connections ALOT when things like this happen. Every reply helps keep this thread moving.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.mjw3786 Dec 4, 2012 8:00 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
the only thing i've found that allows me to have a somewhat playable MP experience is to play in a party where I AM NOT THE PARTY LEADER. I have a similar road runner connection as you, OP, and if I get chosen as host [95% of the time and prob 100% if i'm playing solo] I am lucky if I go 10-20. breaking even is a miracle. I can put half a clip in someone's back but they spin aruond and one shot me.
I played some League last night [i'm an achievement wh*re, what] and it wasn't too bad for 6/8 games. I think that's bc the League isn't bound to Locale and it will match you from the available pool of players[MUCH smaller than standard pubs] which resulted in some games with europeans, s americans and asians. sometimes the LAG was terrible, but sometimes it was in my favor, which is unheard of. lol
I'm just going to keep grinding to get the prestige cheevo and if it's not fixed i'll go back to halo. That game has a great mp with dedicated servers.

Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.pipebombman Dec 4, 2012 8:53 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
I got through 4 videos and 3 of them were not even lag comp. related. They were lag related. People were lagging. Lag happens. The host was bad, connection became compromised, anything that creates lag caused those videos to occur.
Yes there is a problem with host migration and that is why videos can be shot for such a long time with lag and makes it look as though it happens all the time. If this seriously happens every lobby for you it is not the game... it is you.
In video number one there is about 1/4 second sync. issues with theater and live. You can see the bomb ticker counting down at different times. He lined up actions rather than game timer.
These are examples of lag.
Lag. Comp. examples are displacement of bodies as displayed by hosts (theater) compared to the how you see it on your screen. Client side hit detection can still tell the server that you hit your target regardless of lag comp. If the server agrees on both sides of the gun fight (this is where actually better internet prevails) than you will get the kill ragardless. This is most noticable while running around corners.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 10:30 AM (in response to pipebombman)
I CANNOT DISAGREE with you more on your ASSUMPTION of LAG COMPENSATION. You DO NOT WIN if you have a better connection, BECAUSE of the TIME LATENCY that the server is trying to replay what it "believes" to be true. LAG COMPENSATION MAKES PEOPLE WITH BETTER INTERNET HAVE A TIME LATENCY NOT CONNECTION LATENCY, there is a HUGE difference. Not being rude, but you were more than likely mis-informed about what the server actions do when this type of program exists. It would be better off being explained to you as time travel because of what the server is reading AND trying to compensate AT THE SAME TIME, creating 60-120millisecond TIME LATENCY to the GREATER CONNECTION to balance out the LOWER CONNECTION. But thank you for your reply. My neighbor actually works for SCE Santamonica Studio, and they ARE DEVELOPERS for PS3, I have been told in GREAT DETAIL how this actually works by him, so I think I might be versed enough to argue your point sir, but thank you for your reply, if you need further help in UNDERSTANDING LAG COMP I will create a thread for you with ACTUALL video of DEVELOPERS for SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment) explaining what lag comp is and other aspects.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.rodsirloin Dec 4, 2012 9:09 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
Is this why they REALLY disabled Theatre Mode??? I think they are trying to HIDE something for as long
as they can, because Theatre mode shows what the server sees and CLEARLY you can see."
They disabled theater because of the prestige glitch which was a 6 second video that enabled people to jump prestiges.
Theater mode does not show what the server see's, thats a fact of life. If you want to give the man proof you'll need a PVR.
I had a match the other day...Carrier...me and an enemy ran out of bullets...face to face circling each other...I jump up to gain a fraction of a sec...reload finished...I get a shot off but I'm dead. Killcam doesn't show me jump never mind get a shot off...theater, same thing. I know it happened, but the killcam and theater doesn't show it.

Video # 2 is the best ive seen so far. 100% truth
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.VanillaFlava Dec 4, 2012 9:19 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
Hey KERplunKIN,
I see you're new to posting to the forums as you stated above. Compiling these clips up top in one single thread is a good idea, however if the community on this board is really going to get anything done, we're going to have to step up and do this right. All those clips above have routinely floated around here for nearly a month now, and all can be "debunked" by various techy posters here and by Vonderhaar himself. I say this, because I've dealt with the run-around from Treyarch/Infinity Ward/ Activision for 3 games now and I know how they will respond. What we need to do, and anyone who reads this needs to know, are a few key things:
1) ALL VIDEOS MUST BE PVR RECORDINGS : Yes. It has to come directly from what was recorded on your television and it has to be in real time with what you saw. We've been told for years now theater recordings won't suffice because the video is not an accurate representation of what actually happened in game. Any videos need to be recorded in this manner and not taken from theater mode, as they will quickly be discredited otherwise.
2) THEY MUST BE VIDEOS OF FULL GAMES: Here's another one we've been told for years. It can't just be a scene of one gunfight like that of the Woodysgamertag video, because we'll get the answer of "that could have just been a random lag moment within the game," or "the entire match may not have played out like this." We need entire full length matches which show the continual prevelance of this issue. It's going to suck, because we're going to have to record and upload very bad games, but it is for the greater good. Also we need as many instances as possible of the scoreboard being shown to confirm connection (a solid 4 Green Bar connection the entire match is preferable).
3) EVERYONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORMAL NETWORK LATENCY AND "LAG COMPENSATION" : If you're on a 3 Bar connection and are having hit detection issues and dying more quickly than would seem you should, that is traditional in-game Lag, not the dreaded "Lag Comp." I know this may seem obvious, but I don't think many people understand this and as evidenced by some of the videos I've seen people really don't even get the difference between the two. If you are on a 4 Bar Connection and are constantly getting insta-killed or having enemies running around the corner who appear to be pre-firing before they've even seen you and these said enemies are on 3 Bar or less connections, that's "Lag Comp." This is why we need the connection shown as many times as possible, especially before and after gunfights. This is also why Vahn can see a video like #4 and say that's not absolute proof of anything. We don't see her connection, we don't see the enemies. For all we know she could have been red-barring. These are the important details we can't leave out. Because trust me if we do, Treyarch are going to laugh in our faces and do nothing.
4) WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND CONNECTION AND PING: This is a big one, because everyone that comes on here and says I have "5 ms ping," doesn't really understand that doesn't make any difference in this game. You need to know your connection and how you ping to everywhere else, not a local server. So pingtest.net is a valuable tool where you can ping to locations all over your country and get an idea of how many MS you're actually working with in terms of gaming ability. For example I'm in Jacksonville, FL and ping 10 ms to a local server. I ping anywhere on the East Coast up to Philly in under 60 ms, anywhere in the midwest in under 80 ms, and in the furthest location away on the West Coast 110ms (up in Washington State). I know that's only one factor, as the quality of the game host also has to be factored in, but everyone needs to know that their ping to a local server is irrelevant.
I know this is a huge TLNR post right there, but trust me I'm on everyone in this thread's side. We do however, have to do this right in order to get anything done. I've suffered from this for 2 years now, and the reason nothing has changed is because we aren't offering what can be deemed as "absolute proof." All this stuff is what I've been told for the last two years, straight from the mouths of Josh Olin, Robert Bowling and now Vahn. If that's what they want, then that's what we'll give them. But something has to be done in order to fix this.

WHY IS THST HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. You really are misinformed sir, check you sources and research more, you are WRONG about a multitude of things. You are what my crew call a "THREAD KILLER" posing as a helping hand MISLEADING EVERYONE SIR, WE DON"T NEED THAT HERE, WE JUST WANT THE GAME FIXED THATS ALL. I know the difference between connections, I work on Natural Gas Drilling Wells, EVERYTHING WE USE IS INTERNET RELATED, I understand lag from gas reaching a blue box from a cored site, then relay to sensors, then relayed to Mcontroller program on a company lap top. We actually have a mathematical formula to calculate "THEORETICAL LAG", which I can not imagine is much different in nature other than changing a few variables. Yeah I said I was new to this forum BUT NOT A NOOB SIR. Why do people like you continue to mislead others with FALSE INFORMATION? Is that you David?

If you think for 1 second they "NEED MORE PROOF", you obviously haven't taken 30 minutes on the internet, LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT PLAY OPPOSED TO HOW MANY DID AT RELEASE, THEY ALREADY LOST 25% of people on this game,
Every game like this always has a huge number of people playing at release. Now you see the average number of players that will be playing this game since not everyone plays this game every minute of every day.
I myself have 37 Friends that HAVE ALREADY RETURNED THIS AS DEFECTIVE TO ACTIVISION WITH A FULL REFUND FOR THE GAME AND SEASON PASS.
I guess if you whine hard enough you can get your money back for pretty much anything.
They know something is wrong, I hjave videos that are FULL LENGTH GAMES, that were in fact posted and REMOVED from VANDERHAARS TWITTER. Who do you think got exposure for the Did I lose this gunfight video that Von replied CHEERS too? I said I was NEW to this forum, NOT OTHERS THAT I HAVE QUITE FREQUENTLY ACCOMPLISHED MY GOAL, so in essence, don't be a thread killer, they wanted proof, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE GIVING IT TO THEM,
Depends on if what is "proof" to them. What you think is legitimate "proof" could totally not be proof to the right people.
and people like you try to shoot it all down,
You are an example of people who take things out of context. Not once did that guy try to derail this thread. He gave very useful advice on how he thinks is the best way to go about getting this problem fixed. You think yelling at people and telling them they are wrong is fixing this problem?? Your logic is what will derail this thread.
wel that won't work here sir, I am THE MOST PERSISTANT PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET, Said I was going to crash 2 hours ago, but I am still here giving replies, and trying to get ORGANIZED TO GET THIS GAME FIXED. Thousands of people can't just be MYSTERIOUSLY making this all up. I am just doing what NEEDS TO BE DONE. LETS GET THE GAME FIXED.
Good luck with that.
For the sake of keeping this thread alive. Please knock it off with the pretentious way you type. The constant ALL CAPS phrases just screams pretentious jerk that won't take the opinion of others that obviously know what they are talking about. Leave your ego out of this please for the sake of getting this problem solved.

Not being a thread killer at all my friend. I've dealt with this just as you. I have the same issues as you. In no way did I come in here and tell you that you were wrong, that these issues didn't exist, that you haven't optimized your connection, etc, etc.. Those are the things which many people like yourself (myself included) have been and will be told from now until this game stops being made in order to kill your thread. All I did was offer my advice and experience on this battle, as I have been fighting this for two years. I also only offered advice to the many who will come on here in the future months dealing with this same issue, and things they will need to understand. I'm not here to hurt your thread. In fact by replying, I have kept it bumped and on the front page because I know this is an issue that needs fixed. But like I said, there are things that will help us, and there are things that will ultimately do us no justice. The only things I stated were key points that strengthen our message to Treyarch.
If you are the most important person I'll ever meet, then I commend you. Because you'll have been able to accomplish and get fixed what thousands of us have been fighting for for the last 2 years. If that happens, I'll glady congratulate you for that. And I'll be even more happy that I can now play the game I've been supporting for over 5 years. However, for the one person who does this right and goes about it in the right way, there are going to be thousands who spam Vahn with theater recordings, talk about their connections in the wrong manner, and don't offer the development team the "absolute proof" they have been requesting from us for years. If you think Vahn saying "cheers." has drastically altered the course of events for this game, well then I would advise everyone from pre-maturely celebrating. All I did was offer a tip everyone. Fair enough that you don't think that's helpful, but in the long run everything I stated up there is what will get things done.
I'd love to talk about this again in May or June of next year and see if anything's changed. If it has, I'll have my apology written and ready to deliver.
I also see you edited your post towards and were a lot less kind the second time around, and that is fine as I don't take internet issues. As for the theater issue, Vahn and all the developers alike are going to say "Theater is not an accurate representation of the game." Nor is the killcam. I'm not making this up. I really wish I could find the letter Josh Olin wrote us two years ago, because you'd be floored by his response. Like I said, I'm on your side. I want this game fixed. And were I Vahn, rest assured I would have fixed the game already. But if this is the way you plan on going about your crusade to take this game back from the developers and give it to the people, you're going to need to fine tune your methods.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 10:45 AM (in response to VanillaFlava)
I don't want you to think that I am being a jerk or anything guy, but your post is a little misleading AND a bit discouraging to the people who want this fixed. If you have been dealing with this issue for so long, where are your videos? And why do you not get that THEATRE MODE is the most acurate representation of what the server sees? You do understand it is recorded server side right? That you must indeed DOWNLOAD it from the games server (where it was recorded in real time opposed to what some of us see). That my friend is misleading to say Theatre Mode is irrelevant, when it is as close as you will get with REAL TIME, not what you see on the screen in game, which is what the issue is. I don't know whether it is LAG COMP, HIT DETECTION, or something that isn't even related. I just wish people would HELP BY POSTING PROOF when they are so quick to talk about "This is how it should be done." Kind of frustrating like when these kids have good gameplays, yet comentate on how bad the connection is. I'm not knocking you dude, just askin you to keep it FACTUAL. Thanks, and I'm sorry if we bumped heads in the wrong way, just misunderstandings, that is why we need to come together, not split hairs. I bet if Vonderhaar has 2,000 tweets every hour, he would listen.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.VanillaFlava Dec 4, 2012 11:04 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
The only reason I said that theater wouldn't be accepted as proof is because Vahn and Treyarch have stated that before. I didn't say I didn't believe theater was proof. However, they will not accept that. JD2020 and Vahn were tweeted hundreds of videos during BLOPS1 about this, and every time there was a theater video they plainly stated "theater cannot be accepted as factual evidence." That's it. All I said was relaying what they have told us before. I didn't debunk or prove wrong anything you said in any of your posts. I actually have only tried to help this cause. I do not currently own a PVR, so yes I can say you have caught me there as I do not have any videos of my frustrations. However I do know they exist, just like you know they exist without needing to play me a video. You know the game is not right. But when Vahn is sitting there tweeting that he has amazing bandwith and is having no problems, that is a slap in the face to the public. I only put those points in your thread because unlike yourself, not many are educated in networking, how online gaming works, etc.. And despite there being an outcry of backlash about this game (which was exactly how MW3 was this time last year), trust me Treyarch are going to find every reason not to believe or doing anything about this.
So with that being said, you can take anything I've said as you want. Trust me, there will be posters who come in here and actually try to kill your thread. And they will do this by trying to prove why everything you post is wrong. I just tried to help further get this cause justified based on the instructions the developers have given us. Yes THE DEVELOPERS. Not just the posters on this forum who say that. Maccabi is going to have a field day with this thread, so be prepared. Good luck my friend.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 11:12 AM (in response to VanillaFlava)
I can tell you this much, It costs $40,000 AND 7 days for a "PATCH" to get moved through Microsoft. They don't want to admit the problem, and/or know it will take multiple patches to fix this screwy netcode, so they will wait till after New Years, or longer before they do it, if then. I don't want to argue, I just want them to acknowledge the fact that something is wrong, and people aren't complaining over nothing. I mean my gamertag is KERplunKIN on 360, I have MULTIPLE GAMES, NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER SERVER BASED MULTIPLAYER. I just want to know why with this game? Thank you again sir.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.KERplunKIN Dec 4, 2012 10:54 AM (in response to VanillaFlava)
At least I made an attempt opposed to the others who just sit there and read all the posts, unlike people who come and TRY to knock the one s trying to do good. The reason I have to edit is because there are so many misinformed like yourself in some ways, and it is frustrating considering I have already done this 3 other times with success, if they saw my REAL forum name, this thread would already be blocked sir. So yeah not my first time having to UNBRAINWASH the misinformed. Thanks for "SUPPORTING" the thread. Have a nice day.

I think i just got screwed over by this game harder than anyone yet. Me and my friend just finished a game with a survival on town. At level 43 our buddy lagged out of the game so me and my other friend just kept playing. We got to level 50 before dying. Since it was a public match that goes on the leaderboards the person that lagged out cant rejoin. You can only join session on custom games so we had no choice about playing with just the 2 of us. FOR SOME REASON THE LEADERBOARDS ONLY REGISTERED US GETTING LEVEL 43 WHEN MY FRIEND LAGGED OUT EVEN THOUGH 2 OF US KEPT PLAYING UNTIL LEVEL 50! Now instead of being ranked 7 & 8 in the world for 3 man zombies survival on town im ranked 53? Thats a complete load of crap. IT WAS OVER A 14 HOUR GAME AND NOW I GET SHAFTED OUT OF MY LEAERBOARD! ive said it before and ill say it again. this game is completely trash and i regret ever buying it. Treyarch is a complete joke.
Re: VONDERHAAR HERE IS YOUR PROOFof PROBLEMS.Foxhound-Pro Dec 4, 2012 11:44 AM (in response to KERplunKIN)
Locking this thread.
Reasons why.
- A proper thread exists: [LINK]
- Arguments over semantics.
- OP mislabels those that come to the thread to discuss the issues and provide isnight. "Thread killer."
Again, provide information in the proper thread. Do not continue arguments or your crusade for change. Simply deposit the information and carry on.

Princes Foundation reveals 'Poundbury India' plans
The Princes Foundation for the Built Environment has unveiled plans to build a 3,000 home new town in India
The 10-hectare development will be built on the outskirts of either Calcutta or Bangalore, providing a low-cost alternative to slum housing.
Following the Foundation's 'enquiry by design' model, local communities will be encouraged to play an active role in the process of designing the new development.
As part of the organisation's larger plans to establish more widespread 'sustainable urbanism' in the subcontinent, the Foundation has also opened a new Indian office to further its outreach.
Hank Dittmar, chief executive of The Prince's Foundation, explained: 'It is exciting that the Foundation can now add India to its list of international projects. India is a fast growing economy and there is real potential to develop the concept of sustainable urbanism within the India planning system.
'Local people feel disenfranchised from the planning system and this is true whether it be in Europe, America or India and I hope that the work of the Prince's Foundation will be able to help combat that feeling of disillusionment.'

The north is the most cost efficient area of the country to rent student accommodation, according to a recent report.
Accommodation for Students reported rents have stayed the same in some northern locations between 2012 and 2013.
It revealed rents in Leeds averaged at £74 per week, while Manchester and Sheffield had typical rental fees of £74 and £69 per week respectively.
Simon Thompson, Director of Accommodation for Students, said: "Demand for places at well renowned academic institutions."
The research, which was based on rents at more than 125,000 properties in 92 UK locations, revealed the average price of student accommodation has risen by 3.1% over the year, from a typical £77.04 per week in 2012 to £79.42 in 2013.
This news will be helpful to approximately 400,000 students entering university education this September, after UCAS revealed 385,910 applicants were accepted into a higher education establishment in the UK after receiving their A Level results. Up to 245,000 more prospective students were waiting for a final decision or have found places through Clearing since their A Level results were released on August 15th.

Oral Joint Supplement Efficacy Tested in Senior Horses
As we grow older, we quickly learn we need to take better care of ourselves. This often includes taking supplements. Its no surprise that our older pasture pals could benefit as well. To read more on horse health, be sure to check out our horse health page. ~ HfH
From: The Horse
By: Natalie DeFee Mendik, MA
Keeping aging equids comfortable and sound is a top priority (and, often, a challenge) among senior horse owners. To help their older horses along, many owners reach for one or more of the available supplements designed to alleviate joint issues. But just how effective are these products?
Researchers at Utrecht University's Department of Equine Sciences in the Netherlands recently sought to find out, as they investigated the efficacy of one oral supplement in improving gait stiffness in older horses during a three-month, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study.
The researchers separated 24 senior horses, ranging in age from 25 to 34, into two groups: one received the manufacturer's recommended dose of a compound oral supplement comprised of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), while the other received a placebo.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) _ A former Hyundai executive is being
extradited from South Korea to face felony charges from a 2005
wreck that killed a motorcyclist.
Youn Bum Lee was arrested in December in Seoul and was to arrive
Friday at Los Angeles International Airport.
District attorney spokeswoman Susan Schroeder says he will be
arraigned Monday in Orange County on charges of gross vehicular
manslaughter, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs with
injury and hit-and-run with injury or death.
Lee allegedly crashed his company-issued car in Santa Ana after
drinking with colleagues.
Motorcyclist Ryan Dallas Cook struck Lee's car and was hit by
other vehicles.
It wasn't immediately clear if Lee had retained an attorney in Orange County.
