I'm in exercise science and I recently spoke with a 3rd year student taking biomechanics. He said something that is similar to what I've seen Scott talk about so I decided to post it.
We are programmed, from birth, for 7 kinds of movement. All other movement is a mixture of those 7.
Gait (walking, running), squating, lunging, twisting, turning, pulling, pushing. With the exception of gait, you could do all of these in any plane of motion. If this is true, then one simply has to understand which of these 7 we use most commonly in combative practices and include some time on the basic principals.

Hmmm... I will share my experience and understanding, and then maybe others will chime in with their thoughts as well.
The most basic of motions is the arcing or curve-a-linear, the flexion and extension of the muscles causing a single joint articulation. Recruiting multiple joints to form a kinetic chain facilitates the creation of more complex movements such as circles, infinities, and waves.
Now, just because more sophisticated motions such as waves are formed by more rudimentary movements such as arcs, this does not imply that we should concentrate solely on the fundamentals. Becoming aware of our fuller range of motion and human potential provides us with greater awareness and familiarity with what might have been otherwise "uncomfortable," thus increasing our survivability.
For example, in the early days of NHB events, fighters who were from a primarily striking background were easily neutralized by being placed on their backs. Their lack of familiarity with the ground proved to be on obstacle to their defense, but had they spent only a marginal amount of time training this facet of combat, their chances for success would have increased exponentially. I note Maurice Smith as an example. This is only a singular benefit that incrementally complex motions afford us.
I may have gone off on a tangent, but I will try to bring it back around. We begin with the biomechanics; this is the foundation of our knowledge. Once we have reclaimed our inherit movement patterns, we can begin to explore them in context, such as your "takedown" example. The only difference is that there is no need to exaggerate the movements. Simply apply the same sound, natural, efficient movements to the particular venue that you are engaged in. You will cognitively recognize the connection, and more importantly, you will somatically make the connection.
I would like to hear some other ideas about this as well.
Happy Training,

I'll try. Assuming that all our motion is based on these 7 basic motions, one would have to break a complex motion down to its components to understand how to train it. For example, the takedown. It combines, gait, lunging, pulling, and twisting. If, with takedown "technique" training and a proper conditioning routine, one also trainned these basic motions in a more combative way (doing a takedown while exagerating each one of these so the body learns how they work differently and together) one would have a greater propioception of movement.

Martial Shadow,
I would like to share my thoughts on this interesting topic, but before I do, could you please ellaborate on what you meant by "one simply has to understand which of these 7 we use most commonly in combative practices and include some time on the basic principals"? Thanks.
Happy Training,

Thank you for your response; it was quite informative.
Regarding my statement about curvilinear motions, I realise that it can be argued that the most basic movements are linear, but I happen to disagree. You can view the horizon and it might appear linear, but in actuality the surface of the earth is curved.
Now, when I mention the most fundamental type of motion, I am referring to a type of motion that can be built upon to form more complex movement sets. Therefore, arcs can be combined to form circles, infinities, waves, and etc. Now if the elbow can only move linearly, it couldn't possibly move in a circle because no combination of perfectly straight lines can form a circle.
Perhaps someone else can further clarify the issue. Either way, this is a good discussion.

I think it is apparent that we won't see eye to eye on the linear vs. curvilinear debate; I suppose it all boils down to perception.
At any rate, your last post has brought us back to the proper issue of how movement training increases our chances for survival.
Perhaps some others would like to comment on that topic.
Happy Training,

You've provided some valid points, but I'm still sticking to my guns :)
"I could also argue that the smallest part of a circle is a straight line" That kind of sounds like a Zen Koan. I guess we could argue that the smallest part is singular point, but when I mentioned circles, I wasn't referring to geometric shapes, but patterns of movement.
Now, if you were to examine a small portion of a large circle (my horizon of the earth analogy) it would appear linear, but it is in fact still arcing. No amount of straight lines can form a circle, at least not to my knowledge.
If you articulate the elbow, is it moving linearly or curvilinearly? Move your forearm from the elbow and watch the wrist and hand. If your elbow is moving linearly, then the hand and wrist will move linearly as well because they are parallel to one another. If your hand and wrist move in an arc, then the elbow must be moving curvilinearly as well. You decide.
Concerning the elbow moving in a circle, you are correct. It requires the recruitment of other joints to do so, but as I stated earlier, lines do not form circles.
This has become an interesting thread. Perhaps there are some others that can expose us to their vantage point as well.

WOW! I hardly expected so many responses. I guess ROSS is really concerned with this idea. It'll take a while for all this to digest.
Bob- yeah, we've done labs with soccer players kicking balls, volleyball players spiking, etc. It always gets broken down. I forget that the sum is greater than the parts, thanx.

I 'd like to get back to the original concepts that MS is playing with, and add
my vantage point.
In the following videos it have seen a gradual increment on how I can view my
body and it's potential for movement as applied to combative applications.
I see the most basic of movements the human body can produce starting from single joint
, progressing to multiple joints in unison. We are being shown how to explore
movement for movements sake. Towards the end we start putting these to produce more useful
Warrior Wellness™ The 6 Degrees of Freedom:
We see how to the same movements from single to multiple articulations
can be used for joint strenght. This was present in Dvizheniye™ also.
Here we can see how to program a routine to yield us results that we
want. This means useful movement.
We start shift our focus to the internal event that happen in the body with...
Grapplers Toolbox™ SOLO Grappling Drills™:
Very useful movement. Put the simple together to create more complex
movement. Here are explored maxiamally and with combat applications
in mind. Here we are learning to put movements together to begin to solve our
Next we learn to solve our own problems using movement and causing movement
in others. We are refining our perception of the movement in again a more
and more useful way with.............
Immovable Object Unstoppable Force™:
Learning to use movement to solve a specific problem.
then on to.............
Looking at the movement potential inside the body with maximally refined
focus like a microscope the first three videos see what is happening with
the course tuner(still closer than most people look) like putting a flake of
skin on the slide and seeing the germs ON it(external),then we start to use the
fine adjustment( last two vids),seeing what is inside down to the nucleus of
the individual cells.
If you start to look at this wholistically You see a pattern forming to help
us solve our combative,health,sportive,and other physical problems incrementally
from simple to sophisticated(not complicated see Arthrokinetics™).
"If this is true, then one simply has to understand which of
these 7 we use most commonly in combative practices and include some time
on the basic principals."
I would say that we use all 7 and then some.
Which one's do we use most commonly?
We could have lots of disagreements about that,
which is why that aspect needs to be
personally manicured for a specific purpose. Why do I plan on working on
all of them, because I don't know what movements are common in combat,
there seem to be none for me my life, opponent, attacker are not easily predidcted I think that is
why I prefer to train to for maximum adaptablilty(improvisation). I think there are no shortcuts
and no ends.
If I use only sterotypical senarios then I may limit my combative options.
I am definately not training that way, limiting my options in combat is bringing me closer to death.
As far as I'm concerned Ross has already taken care of the hard
work for me all that is left for me to do is apply myself to the process.
Hope to see you all at camp soon!

Nice thread going here,
I would like to say that I have more exposure to the ROSS principles from Dan than from tapes. I have seen my abilities and others who Dan has exposed to some of these concepts improve their combat skills exponentially. His ability to communicate not only the benefits of improvisation but a method for learning to improvise is just incredible. Also, there is the sheer joy of training with a ROSS practitioner...in my experience the learning environment that they create really lights people up...its like hearing OH WOW!!! over and over and over.
In response to Bobstra...I agree that a construct can be constraining...I dont agree that people would generally choose practices that promote their survival...I think many people are too fearfully invested in their constructs to choose anything different than what they are already doing,even if it proves to be a less effecient means of survival.
The interesting thing about ROSS to me is that it seems to somehow give people this format that teaches them to learn and teach themselves and have confidence that they will be successful and it works real world. A pitiful explanation but this is something Ive never encountered before. It somehow elicits the highest human behavior...bah!!! cant nail it down.
I am from the more esoteric end and sometimes I used to think to shortcut the technical verbiage and spit it out. I think I have seen for myself however the efficacy of the method Scott employs.

Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets
Form 8949 is where details of your sales and exchanges are shown, allowing you and the IRS to reconcile amounts that were reported to you and the IRS on Form 1099-B or 1099-S (or on a consolidated or substitute statement) with the amounts you report on your return.
When your sales and exchanges of capital assets are entered in TurboTax (Premier and above editions), they also appear on Form 8949 and are moved to Schedule D, Capital Gains & Losses. Part I of the form shows short-term sales (assets held less than one year), Part II shows your long-term sales (assets held more than one year).
How do I fill out the information for Form 8949 in TurboTax?
When you enter your sales or exchanges of capital assets in TurboTax Premier or Home & Business editions, we automatically fill out Form 8949 for you.
To enter sales or exchanges of capital assets, in the TurboTax search box, enter investment sales and click the Jump to investment sales link.
On the screen Did You Sell Any Investments in 2014? screen, click Yes and answer the interviews to enter your investment sales information.
Note: In Deluxe and lower versions, you'll be prompted to upgrade to Premier, which supports the Schedule D you need to report your investment activities.

THE BOSS Introduces New Poly Power-V XT Snowplow
Posted By Equipment World Staff On December 29, 2009 @ 10:23 am In Boomerang | No Comments
The Poly Power-V XT Snowplow easily maneuvers through the toughest snow conditions, finishing jobs up to 30 percent faster than traditional straight-blade plows. The distinct design of the Poly Power-V XT, boasting flared blade wings with an enhanced curl, throws snow higher and farther than any other plow on the market.
"THE BOSS designed the Poly Power-V XT Snowplow to handle well in any type of snow, making easy work of even the most extreme snow conditions," said Rick Robitaille, marketing manager for THE BOSS Snowplow. "Our Poly Power-V XT Snowplow builds on the reliability and versatility introduced with our steel models, but with the advantage of a super-slick poly surface to ensure snow slides easily off the blade."
The Poly Power-V XT Snowplow comes with industry-leading BOSS innovations including SmartHitch® 2, the fastest, easiest-to-use attachment system on the market, a ½" x 6″ High Performance cutting edge providing extended wear resistance and SmartLight™ 2, which features state-of-the-art reflector optics and Dual Bulb Illumination for improved visibility.
Since 1985 THE BOSS Snowplow has made snowplowing efficient and easy with innovative products that set new industry standards for quality, reliability, craftsmanship and performance. All BOSS Snowplows are designed, built and put to the ultimate performance test in Michigan's rugged Upper Peninsula where winters — and deep snow — are a way of life.
THE BOSS snow-removal products and accessories are manufactured in an approved ISO 9001:2000 registered facility and are available to professionals and homeowners through the company's nationwide network of distributors. For more information on THE BOSS Snowplow and the full line of BOSS accessories, call 800-286-4155 or visit the company's Web site at www.bossplow.com.

3 reasons to light the holiday season with LEDs
Image courtesy youngthousands, Flickr.
On a dark winter night, twinkling holiday lights lift our spirits. Over the centuries we have gone from decorating trees with candles (not the best idea) to using electric-powered lights, which were first draped around a tree in 1882 by an inventor who worked for Thomas Edison.
Today, thanks to three Japanese scientists who recently won the Nobel Prize for their development of a blue light-emitting diode (LED), we can move beyond Edison and choose an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly light source, the LED bulb. Although they've been on the market for some time, LED lights are now coming down in price, making them an even more attractive option for everyday and holiday lighting.
When decorating this season, keep in mind these three reasons why LEDs are a better way to brighten your holidays.
- LEDs are a better choice for your pocketbook. With continued advances in LED technology (especially around heat regulation) by producers like GE and CREE, the cost of home LED bulbs is now nearing the price of compact fluorescent lights. Since lighting is responsible for 14 percent of a home's electricity use, more efficient bulbs can reduce home energy bills. If you're wondering how much you could save by making the switch, check out the CREE LED calculator. When it comes to holiday decorating, LEDs will lead to significant savings over the years. For example, lighting the tree with incandescent lights will cost you around $122 over 10 seasons (including replacement strands), compared to just $33 for a tree adorned with LED lights. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, if all decorative strands purchased this year were ENERGY STAR rated, Americans would save $45 million and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 630 million pounds annually.
How we engaged employees, strengthened community ties, and made the world a little greener
Nearly 2,000 Alcoa employees, their families, and members of their communities learned how to save energy, save money, and help the environment at green fairs over the past three months.
These fairs, organized by the C2ES Make an Impact program in partnership with Alcoa and the Alcoa Foundation, are an example of an evolving approach to corporate social responsibility and employee engagement.
Building awareness of environmental challenges is important, but it isn't enough. A new approach, bringing together several engagement strategies, aims to build a work force that is both knowledgeable and active in local organizations. The goal is to create stronger relationships among a company, its employees, and community stakeholders, a win-win-win.
Employees, community members and even two mayors came to Alcoa Green Fairs to meet with local businesses and groups providing sustainability solutions. The events took place on weekends or during work breaks in Fullerton and Torrance, Calif.; Hampton, Va.; and Warrick, Ind. Participants could ask questions and get tips about recycling, saving energy and water, and making choices to promote sustainability.
Hands-on activities made it fun. For example, at each fair, we challenged people to see how much physical energy is needed to turn a hand crank (pictured at left) and produce enough power to light an old-fashioned incandescent bulb compared with a modern, efficient compact fluorescent bulb, which requires 75 percent less energy.
The team from Virginia Naturally challenged Hampton fair-goers to guess how long it takes for different types of litter to decompose, driving home the importance of recycling. California employees answered trivia questions from Heal the Bay about storm water management and water conservation.
The fairs informed employees and strengthened Alcoa's connections to its local communities. More than 50 organizations participated, paving the way for future partnerships and employee volunteer opportunities that will improve the sustainability of each community.
Understanding climate change, even if you're not a scientist
A catchphrase has cropped up in discussions about climate change: "I'm not a scientist…"
You hear it from some elected leaders opposed to taking action to reduce climate risks. It's usually followed by an argument that climate science is too hard to understand or there's not enough information that climate change is a serious problem.
With this in mind, we've revamped our Science and Impacts webpages to ensure we're providing understandable, up-to-date climate science information so that anyone can connect the choices we make in producing and consuming energy to the risks of climate impacts.
Firsthand lessons on public charging for EVs
My ride for the weekend: BMW's first mass-produced all-electric vehicle.
Washington, D.C., is well-situated for day trips with mountains, forests, beach and bay all a short drive away. On a recent weekend, I was lucky enough to tool around in style. BMW lent me their new electric car – the i3 – and asked that I race it around the DC metro region. (Or perhaps that's just how I heard them.)
The car handles beautifully the way you'd expect a BMW to, and proves there's no performance tradeoff by going with an electric vehicle (EV). For most drivers, EVs like the i3 can accommodate daily driving needs. The average American only travels 30 miles per day. In particular, EVs are well suited for commuting because a driver can charge at home or the workplace. But day-tripping with an EV can take more planning and I learned firsthand that a robust public charging network is essential if EVs are to make more headway in the marketplace.
At C2ES, we often cite the importance of public charging stations to extend the range of EVs and give drivers confidence that an EV is a practical replacement for their conventional car. To allow EV drivers to travel as they would with a gasoline car, quick charging stations are needed along major roadways. Multiple, slower charging stations (referred to as Level 2) should be at key destinations to provide redundancy in case stations are in use or down for maintenance. Those are some of the conclusions of our new paper assessing the public charging infrastructure in Washington state and the same can be said of Washington, D.C.
SaskPower unveils first commercial-scale, coal-fired power plant to capture carbon
For the first time ever, a large-scale, coal-fired power plant is capturing carbon dioxide to keep it from being released into the atmosphere – a milestone for a technology critical to addressing climate change.
Canadian electric utility SaskPower has switched on unit 3 at its Boundary Dam power plant, about 10 miles from the North Dakota border, and will hold an official grand opening Oct. 2. Following a $1.2 billion retrofit, the 46-year-old, 110-megawatt coal unit is now on course toward capturing 90 percent of its carbon emissions. Other upgrades reduce nitrous oxide emissions and capture 100 percent of the unit's sulfur dioxide emissions.
Numerous commercial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology projects have been deployed in the industrial sector. In the power sector, demonstration-scale projects have been deployed, but this is the first commercial-scale project.
We will need to construct hundreds of such projects (along with other zero- and lower-emitting technologies) if greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced to levels that avoid the worst effects of climate change. According to the International Energy Agency, more than 440 terawatt-hours (TWh) of CCS must be generated between 2020 and 2035 to give us a chance of limiting global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. To get a sense of that scale, SaskPower's unit 3 can produce up to 1 TWh of electricity per year.
The Boundary Dam project is important not just because it's the first of its kind, but because it demonstrates a way to help make carbon capture technology economically viable -- by turning unwanted pollutants into valuable commodities. SaskPower has agreed to transport and sell its captured carbon dioxide (CO2) to an oilfield operated by Cenovus for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. The captured CO2 helps coax additional production from declining oil fields and results in the permanent storage of the CO2 underground. (In addition, captured sulfur dioxide emissions will be used to produce 50 tons per day of sulfuric acid for industrial customers, and SaskPower will sell the plant's coal combustion residuals, also known as coal ash, for use in construction products like drywall and concrete.)

It used to be that you didn't worry about an anti-aging skincare regimen until you hit your 40's or 50's, but I recently learned that in order to really prevent fine lines and wrinkles, the sooner you start, the better. "Twenty-somethings need to think about anti-aging as a part of their daily routine now, since microscopic changes in collagen and pigmentation in your skin will show up 10-15 years later," said Dr. Frederic Brandt, an NYC and Miami-based dermatologist.
The good news is that it doesn't take a complete overhaul of your skincare stash to add anti-aging benefits to your routine. This new night treatment by Ole Henriksen not only improves fine lines and wrinkles, but smooths out your skin's texture, adds hydration and minimizes blemishes—all in one! A multi-tasking product that saves time and space in our tiny bathroom cabinet? This one's seriously a no-brainer.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republican state Rep. Judd Matheny of Tullahoma tells The Associated Press he's polling colleagues about a possible challenge of House Speaker Beth Harwell for the chamber's top leadership post next year.
Matheny holds the title of House speaker pro tempore, the only position besides speaker elected by the entire chamber.
But he complains of being marginalized by other Republican leaders, whom he charges with diluting his key legislative initiatives ranging from loosening gun laws to battling what he perceives as the domestic spread of Islamic law.
Matheny said he holds no personal grudge against Harwell, whom he supported in a hard-fought speaker's race in 2010. But he said he wants the Legislature to exert more power within state government and to pursue what he called "our true constitutional principles."

On our current course the American people will wake up one morning to find ourselves embroiled in a Syrian civil war where both sides are considered our enemy, without a clear definition of a victory, and no exit strategy.
What is the motivation for President Obama's persistence on getting involved? Again, 6 yr old psychology offers an explanation. He drew a line in the sandbox, and he doesn't want to seem like a coward when the line is crossed. (Never mind that the line of using chemical weapons in Syria was already crossed last Spring.).
Secretary of State Kerry and Vice President Biden want the American people to believe that it is because of the images of Syrian body bags and wounded children, which are being shown on our newscast. Our Nobel Laureate president, they argue, is motivated by nothing more than a humanitarian impulse. While these images are horrific, there has been more devastating examples of torture and death, yet no action from our Government in the cases of Darfur, Iran, North Korea, and Rwanda.
The timing of Obama's orders for US military action in Syria deserves special scrutiny. We cannot ignore the past track record of distraction from one scandal with another. Nor can we ignore this President's reckless persistence, despite opinion polls showing the majority of Americans are opposed to involvement in another Middle Eastern war, and despite our closest ally Great Britain wisely voting to stay out.
I keep waiting for this President to grow up and realize our military is not comprised of plastic toy soldiers, our tax dollars are not Monopoly money, and the American people are not kites which can be easily swayed depending on which way he wants to make the wind blow with his supposed rhetorical genius.
As any parent with an out-of-control child knows, the last thing you do is to give in to his or her temper tantrums. The best thing we can do is be adults, get the Senate back in conservative hands and give President Obama a much needed time out as an ineffectual lame-duck president.

Re: Kids these daysgramthenOOb Jun 10, 2014 6:03 PM (in response to ghamorra)
Is it weird that I "protect from delete" and save hate messages I receive? I find them rather comical, especially when the are sent by players who are mad at something they did to themselves.
Re: Kids these daysghamorra Jun 10, 2014 6:07 PM (in response to gramthenOOb)
They really do do it to themselves. I find more often than not that I can predict what an enemy player will do and I ask myself, "is it wrong to camp when you can do it so successfully?"
Re: Kids these daysgramthenOOb Jun 10, 2014 6:16 PM (in response to ghamorra)
The whole issue of camping is kinda taboo, so I won't really get too deep into it. I do feel though that the fact that the player had to send you 2 messages "expressing" himself is quite extreme.

I laughed out loud when I read the messages this kid sent you. Good stuff!

I can tie all the rest of it together but "porkchop" seems so out of place here! He must have really been off the rails...
Funny think is if he were standing right in front of you and you said, "Go on...say it now" he'd probably burst into tears and pee his pants.

Try going to Charlie Intel and let them know you camp. I did and the hate from the kiddies are amusing. They can't comprehend why I camp and I was shaking my head as they always blame the campers for their deaths. I received a lot of hate on CI but that didn't faze me.

I too have spent the last few days holding down particular points on the map, camping so to speak, now since ive had the PS4 ive not received one hate mail until i started defending positions and within 3 days ive had about 6 different people messaging me expressing their displeasure at my style of gameplay.
I simply reply with "U mad Bro?" and they go quiet more often than not.
Re: Kids these dayssennalike Jun 11, 2014 5:24 PM (in response to ghamorra)
Got an unintentional KEM earlier, camping. We were playing against a clan too, they just kept running the same route and I thought sod it, I'm gonna keep killing until they suss me out, and they just didn't get it. What was even more surprising is I didn't get any expected hate message, very disappointing. I don't much like camping, but when you get a good run going and the enemy is stupid enough not to realise where you are then I'm going to take advantage.
Re: Kids these daysgreyfryer67 Jun 12, 2014 7:45 AM (in response to ghamorra)
He has attacked you from every possible angle. His insults refer to race, gender, sexuality, body shape even religion if you look into it deep enough. Maybe if he attacked from every potential angle during the game he wouldn't have one of your shoes lodged up his a$$ crack. I guess we will never know.

Lel, I can honestly say I have received and sent messages like that.
Is it wrong to enjoy shooting fish in a barrel ?
Depends on which end of the gun you are on.

They are running at you like idiots and therefore deserve to be shot like idiots.
It also depends on how skilled the camper is - if he is really good should they relax and not go as hard against a weaker foe ?
Theoretically yes but realistically no. It's a game and the objective is to win.
However, perhaps they are merely starting out or haven't played many FPS games before.
I ask myself that question sometimes while laughing my head off "why do they keep running at me, are they stupid ?!?"
Now think of it from another perspective - a newbie starting out with being up against a camper for their first experience. Someone (not you perhaps) ADSing with a thermal (LMG,MR, AR, SR) IED's covering them and teammates camping their flanks. The newbie can't get to the objectives (Dom or whatever) because they are playing against skilled campers so they become disheartened and hate the game. They become campers because that is what monkey sees as effective so monkey does. Nothing wrong with what - now we have more people camping though.
The camper and his mates caused this.
Is it fun then when the playercount drops below 5 figures and the only ones left are camping ?
We are starting to find out.
Not saying that camping isn't fun, for many it just isn't as fun as rushing.

I didn't trap him. He had roughly 70% of the map available to him to explore out of my sight. I was camping 'A' and didn't journey beyond it. He chose to attack me and relentlessly try and pick me out of my spot. He chose to go after someone smarter, quicker, and all around better poised than he was and he lost miserably. He wasn't mad that I beat down on him. He was mad that he couldn't be down on me.
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 16, 2014 12:39 AM (in response to ghamorra)
I wasn't saying you were, I am merely playing devils advocate.
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 16, 2014 12:39 AM (in response to ghamorra)
However we have seen that this COD is suffering immensely and one reason I honestly feel is the passivity of playstyles dominating the aggressive alternatives.
The onus is always on the attacker to root out the camper and as we have seen a very large part of the community is fed up with it.
It's like the bullied becoming the bully scenario: campers thrash rushers in Ghosts so rushers change to camping and thrash other rushers and lesser campers etc.
Then the games becomes "who can camp harder" and it turns into work, not fun.
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 16, 2014 12:46 AM (in response to ghamorra)
No offense Gham but your point is actually moot, as when you are camping A you are forcing him to attack you as the whole aim/objective is to cap flags and you are in his way.
Otherwise what is he supposed to do, say "stuff it I can't cap A because there is someone camping on it" ? What is he supposed to do then, wait for you to choose to move from that location ?
That's one thing I find hilarious when campers say "he has the whole rest of the map" because they don't, they have like you said maybe 70%, take into account the other 5 players and there is nothing left.
But your point is very accurate when you say people aren't mad they got stomped but more so that they couldn't be the one laying the beatdown.
All in all this game is too competitive for casual COD gamers and it turns them away.
Re: Kids these daysghamorra Jun 16, 2014 7:40 AM (in response to Rexens_View)
All of your replies contradict a problem you claimed in another thread. You said players don't play the objective. I played the objective and now you're raising an issue with it. We had 'B' nearly the entire match and instead of progressively making his way across the map he was fixated on coming after me. I defended the flag, I prevented anyone from taking it the entire match, I kicked his ass by being the smarter player. How is that wrong?
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 16, 2014 5:43 PM (in response to ghamorra)
Really ?
Did I say it was wrong to camp A ?
Did I say you weren't playing the objective ?
You said you weren't forcing him to attack you but you clearly just stated that you guys had B and you were camping A.
What were this players options then ?
Please explain how he had an alternative than to try to kill you to cap A.
From your own words "We had 'B' nearly the entire match" which I assume meant it was well defended. (and as we all know B is generally the hardest flag to capture from any enemy)
Should he have just sat down and given up ?
Or, should he try to take out the entrenched enemy that is preventing his team from winning ?
It's all a perspective exercise - no need to get upset.
That is what I was pointing out - alot of campers (and this is from someone who camps/patrols a bit) seem to think "I am not forcing them to attack me, there is the whole rest of the map" but in actuality there are no viable alternatives.
Also I wouldn't call camping A being the smarter player.
Better positioned and entrenched (perhaps even better skilled) yes but not smarter.
Even a 6yo knows that camping an objective will get you kills and deny the enemy the cap.
Re: Kids these daysghamorra Jun 16, 2014 5:54 PM (in response to Rexens_View)
I'm not upset. I was just clarifying and extending a point you made in the other thread. I don't feel like he had to come after me. If he was really that upset about my camping position then he had other options; stop rushing me head on and try something else, or focus his attention elsewhere. It's completely 100% on him and I'm not forcing him to do anything. If he's that miserable then he can play another game.
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 16, 2014 8:16 PM (in response to ghamorra)
Nothing is ever 100% completely on them.
By providing them with little to no alternatives then yes, you are in a manner of speaking forcing someone to do something - but that's semantics.
Technically no-one has to attempt to kill anyone in COD, but it is the whole point of the game...
The point I was making in the other thread is that generally players don't play the objective in objective based game-modes in Ghosts which is contributing to player frustration.
I did not say no-one at all.
You didn't mention earlier he was rushing you head on - so yes he could have gone about it better.
However I have an issue with this attitude of players " If he's that miserable then he can play another game."
So you have no problem if 90% of the Ghosts playerbase got so frustrated they went and played something else ?
I'm sure the rest of the Ghosts players wouldn't enjoy having a a mere couple of thousand players to choose from worldwide.
Attitudes like that are what has made this game unbearable for many.
How would everyone feel if the majority of people decided to lay prone and not move from their spawn for days on end ?
Or noobtube with Danger Close and C4 only for game after game after game etc...
Would you say "fair enough that's fine" or would you get frustrated and think "these people are ruining this game" ?
How would you then react if someone said to you "suck it up or go play something else"
As everyone says "they paid for the game they can play how they want" but in reality is a different beast.
You can play however you choose but it has consequences - like having no-one else left to play against.
Re: Kids these daysslyd0g55 Jun 16, 2014 8:53 PM (in response to Rexens_View)
Kids can't handle HC they arrive in the lobby the depart as soon as they can , ghamorra as well as many who play core can understand this thread a little better than me, I won't say players don't comment on rage or send ill messages or even camp in HC , it's just you hardly ever find the same player(s) constantly coming back to where ghamorra set up tent. I guess it could come down to timing as well? play after dinner many of the community are a little older? I like alot of what you said lol
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 16, 2014 9:16 PM (in response to slyd0g55)
Lol I know right, HC forces you to play smarter or your just cannon fodder to an even greater extent than core.
I would play HC waaay more if there were more players on, too hard to find a suitable game but man I love it.
Yeah I reckon i'll have to play around 8 or 9 WA time when the little ones have gone off to camp in their bunk beds.
I play this game to kill mofo's not play hide-and-seek.
Re: Kids these daysghamorra Jun 17, 2014 7:48 AM (in response to Rexens_View)
If someone is so angry over a game that they have to send, not one, but two hate messages as explicit at this then I suggest they find something else to do their time for their sake. I don't mind playing these types of players. They're mostly too stupid to think beyond what's happening in their crosshairs, but I certainly wouldn't play a game that makes me this angry. It defeats the purpose of playing a game.
I don't understand why you're defending him as if he's rightfully upset and I deserved this message (at least that's what I'm getting out of what you've said thus far). He chose to attack me and I killed him. I defended my flag and prevented him from taking it. He got mad. Sounds to me like it's entirely on him for his own misery.
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 17, 2014 6:58 PM (in response to ghamorra)
Don't get me wrong - I am not condoning his messages.
I am addressing the underlying issues that cause so much angst in players that they send messages like that.
It's isn't the game that makes players angry (unless its bad spawns etc), it's other players that anger them.
I understand where he is coming from just as I understand where you are coming from.
It's all too easy to say "I don't deserve this" when being indifferent to how your actions impact others.
Maybe that kid was just fed up with bumping into camper after camper after camper for countless lobbies.
I'd say he was more angry at himself and was merely taking it out on you.
Seeing as you were part of the reason he is upset (no matter if it's a wrong or right thing) it isn't entirely on him for his misery - but that's me being pedantic.
The thing is if everyone was indifferent to how their playstyle impacted the game (which most are) then we end up with a terrible and mundane gaming experience.
The onus is on the community to ensure we all have fun - not just one segment.
Otherwise we end up with these current playercounts and current lack of anything Ghosts.
Re: Kids these daysGerbera Jun 15, 2014 11:23 PM (in response to ghamorra)
Gotta love when people act like there is some sort of "rule" dictating how the game is "meant to be played". People need to learn that there is no "right" or "wrong" way to play and that their way is not the "only" way to play. You play however you can to win without actually outright cheating (hacking/modding). If other people don't like it then that's their problem that they have to deal with, not try to force that person to conform to their ideals of the game.
Such people need to learn to put a leash on their egos.
More, more, and more I'm sure that most of the people complaining about "campers" probably aren't even having any trouble with ACTUAL campers, just people who bested them and they can't take it.
Re: Kids these daysRexens_View Jun 15, 2014 11:32 PM (in response to Gerbera)
More, more and more I am becoming convinced that the community is too focused on "winning at all costs" instead of actually enjoying the game.
IMO people are confusing winning with fun.
I can have more fun losing than winning any day.
Re: Kids these daysnicedrewishfela Jun 16, 2014 5:59 PM (in response to Gerbera)
It's the sense of entitlement this community has. They feel they deserve to win every game, and when they don't... they feel cheated.

or that kiddy scream

I love these ego boosters. I haven't gotten hate mail in awhile last time I got it was awhile ago but I did get yelled at yesterday for using two IEDs with Danger Close and placing them anywhere. I made so many rage induced try hards mad and screaming cause I ruined their 15 and 0 flawless games.

It looks like around 1980 plus or minus a few years. I have some from that era which I bought from a shop back then. The slightly earlier ones did not have a contrast grade number (2 in your case) but just the letters that Agfa used (in your case W = "weak" i.e. a bit soft). Good luck with it. I have found that my Portriga has not kept nearly as well as the graded Brovira from those days.
Let us know how it goes.

Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell have been friends since the mid-1970s, and when they appeared together on the stage of the Pabst Theater on Tuesday night, the warmth of their long association showed.
Fortunately, so did the professionalism of their long individual careers.
They could have just come out with a couple of acoustic guitars, rambled through a few songs and recounted a few anecdotes. Instead, they enlisted a seasoned five-piece band, chose their material with care and let their singing do most of the talking.
Harris spoke more distinctly: Every hesitation in her phrasing and every fissure at the borders of her vocal range expressed the fragility of a heart that paradoxically remained strong and open.
Crowell wasn't as overtly distinctive, and at first his voice sounded as if it were buried in the mix. But as the show progressed, his steady tone grew into the solidity of an oak tree that rooted the songs when only he was singing and gave Harris something to lean on when they both were.
Their harmonies were as beautifully imperfect as the people in many of their songs, and adaptable to any style and tempo, including the slowly told story of "Pancho & Lefty," the gently rolling wanderlust of "Wheels" and the quick two-step of "Luxury Liner."
The other musicians, particularly Australian guitarist Jedd Hughes, were also adaptable to the changes, from breezy honky-tonk numbers like "Hanging Up My Heart" to the subtle regrets and resignations of "Back When We Were Beautiful."
They had to be at their best, considering that the opening act was Richard Thompson.
Thompson, who might have even more miles and experience than Harris and Crowell - the English singer, songwriter and guitarist has been recording and touring since the late '60s - was in particularly amazing form during his set.
With bassist Taras Prodaniuk and energetic drummer Michael Jerome, Thompson took unstinting advantage of the trio format to focus tightly not just on his instrumental prowess but also on the durability of his songs.
He stuck mostly to the electric guitar (in keeping with the title of his latest album, "Electric"), and he spun out a solo on "Can't Win" that was an eloquent, if wordless, continuation of the embittered rage of the lyrics.
Yet when he switched to acoustic for his folk classic "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," he was just as eloquent while finding prettier variations on an already pretty tune.
Like the headliners, he could have let his reputation carry him through his performance. Also like them, he played as though he had something to prove.

Regrettably I no longer own a CC, therefore I cannot show you a close-up of the battery cap. From memory: it's a plastic cover with a metal strip/bar underneath that connects either the plus or the minus (don't remember how the battery goes in) of the battery to two locations (180 degrees apart) on the rim of the hole that the battery goes into.
It should be easy to come up with something (a metal strip or some conductive foil) that closes the electric loop. Then you will have construct some kind of (non-conductive) cover to seal the hole.
You being in Incredible India should not have any problem (?) finding somebody who can concoct something for you if you don't feel like doing it yourself.
Good luck!

Manufacturer: Imus 4beat saddle (View all products by Imus)
Model: Endurance with english leathers (View all Endurance with english leathers reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle directly from them I paid 1399.00 plus shipping
Likes: The saddle comes in two nice colors black and pecan. I bought black. I don't like western saddles I like the freedom of the english leathers. The tooling is nice looking. The seat is padded with supricore. It fits my horse real well. This is my 8th saddle for him and it finally fits so he can gait better.
Dislikes: The weight of the saddle is rough for me. I have carpal tunnel in both wrist and its difficult to lift it up on to my 15.3 Walker. My husband has to help sometimes. When you order one you have to wait 6 weeks to arrive. I have no patience and that time frame was killer! It was worth the wait. Prices are a bit high, for all the items. I try to find on ebay first.
Quality: I love the quality workmanship and the detail of the saddle. The flex tree with supracore help my horse be more comfortable and gaits better.
Summary: Over all I am extremely happy. They are helpful before during and after the sale. They help you when you need it and if they cant they will put in contact with someone who can. EVEN AFTER THE SALE! COME ON WHAT SADDLE COMPANY DOES THAT.

ERWIN, Tenn. (AP) -- The November ballot will not contain liquor issues in Unicoi County.
The Johnson City Press reported petitions being circulated for referendums countywide and in the city of Erwin didn't contain enough valid voter signatures.
Unicoi County Deputy Administrator of Elections Teresa McFadden said no additional signatures were submitted before Friday's 5 p.m. petition deadline.
Unicoi County resident John Day started a pair of petitions and said there were more than enough signatures turned in. However, only 45 were valid in the city and 59 in the county -- fewer than 1/3 of the number needed.

The third ingredient in this old-fashioned water-based serum is strawberry juice, which can cause contact dermatitis (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). Even without the fruit juice, however, this serum is an embarrassing formula at any price. On the other hand, eating fresh strawberries (that haven't been processed for use in cosmetic products) is a great source of antioxidants and vitamin C.
A refreshing gel treatment designed to preserve healthy skin cells. Tones and revitalizes with pure juices of strawberry. An advanced hydrating complex helps skin maintain oil balance while pro-vitamin B5 provides anti-inflammatory benefits.

Sothys Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Shockingly, this line has no strengths, but it does deserve mention for good self-tanning products and their Double Lightening Serum.
Weaknesses: Expensive; a preposterous number of ordinary moisturizer and serum formulas sold with grandiose claims; overuse of fragrance; several moisturizers contain.
We have to admit we weren't looking forward to reviewing this line. We've been aware of Sothys for some time, and over the years many women have asked us what we thought of it. We don't ever mind being asked what we think of a product line, but in this case it was the way we were asked that we found depressing. Somehow this spa-oriented line has developed an almost reverent reputation for being a superior skin-care line.
A question would go like this, "What do you think of Sothys?" We would reply, "Not much, the formulas are either out of date or contain problematic ingredients and the price tag is silly for what you get." Inevitably, the response would be, "Really? I thought it was one of the best lines around … it's French, you know?" Sigh. Yes, we do know. But …
Despite a long French-heritage, dating back to 1946, this spa-oriented brand with a vast array of products doesn't deserve a reputation for being anything other than an overpriced spa brand to avoid.
Most of Sothys skin-care formularies are so far behind the times that using them is akin to using a typewriter instead of a computer—the formulations are as ordinary and mundane as it gets. Almost all their moisturizers lack any reasonable amount of antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, or cell-communicating ingredients. Also consider that there are no effective products for those struggling with blemishes or blackheads, despite their claims. It is astounding that in a line with dozens of facial moisturizers (most with repetitive formulas), not a single one includes a sunscreen. How can this brand be so incredibly blind to the number one cause of wrinkles and skin aging? If they aren't aware of the critical importance of sun protection, then how much do you want to trust them in any other aspect of helping your skin?
Sothys makes much ado about the training it provides to aestheticians. Not having attended any of their classes, we can't speak specifically to the content of what they teach, but if their products are even vaguely representative of what they inculcate, woe to those aestheticians who rely on Sothys as their source of skin-care education.
When all is said and done, and you've gotten past the smoke and mirrors, nothing else matters if you don't have well-formulated products, sunscreens, exfoliants, acne products, options for rosacea and sensitive skin, and/or reasonable pricing. And that's where Sothys falls flat on its scrubbed, steamed, masked, and spa "purified" face.

While driving home the other day I found myself looking in my rear view mirror several times. There was a car behind me making me pretty nervous. He was the kind of driver that rides your bumper and seems to be in such a hurry behind you that he swerves to see if he can pass you.
I found myself so involved with what was going on behind me that I almost forgot to pay attention to what was going on in front of me.
Thankfully, nothing happened. The driver behind me got to where he was going, which meant he was no longer riding my bumper, and I was able to refocus on the cars in front of me.
But all of that got me thinking. I was so busy trying to watch my back that I wasn't paying attention to what was coming. The cars in front of me had stopped suddenly,and I really had to hit my brakes hard to stop. Again, thankfully no wrecks happened.
I know I scared the poor lady that was in front of me, so I tried to wave as best as I could to her to let her know I sorry for scaring her.
But here is the thing -- how often do we find ourselves stuck or in a rut because we are looking at our past? We lose focus and take our eyes off of what is really important.
Sure, there is nothing wrong with being an aware driver, but I was so aware of the things behind me that I almost caused a wreck of things in front of me.
Let us not be so confused and dismayed of the things that are behind us. There is a reason it is called the past. More importantly, the Bible says that the Lord forgives and forgets, that we are a new creation in Him.
So this week, if you find your past or former things creeping up on you and taking over the things to come and a new day, just give it all to the Lord.
Every time I get in my car, I've shared this with you all before, I pray before I leave. I pray for God's hand of protection over me and that car. That is me giving my travels over to Him and leaving it in His hands.
I know without a shadow of a doubt He protected me from a wreck this week. Isn't it funny how He uses things like driving to remind us of the greater things that are yet to come?
