I suspect that in the incident that the OP described, her getting her legs and belly wet were actually a bigger problem than the specific temperature. Cold+wet=bad news for any animal, humans included!
My only hesitation is the age of the pup, because I've never had a young one out in cold temperatures really, which is why I recommend a call to the vet. But we often forget that double-coated dogs like the GSD are extremely well-suited to cold temperatures and do far better in them than we do! If we're a bit chilly in jeans and a tee shirt, our dogs are probably just beginning to think it's perfect weather.
The rowdy dogs:
Hector-2 y/o GSD (mix?) rescue
Scooter-12 y/o ACD/Border Collie mix
Bandit-8 y/o ACD
Wooby-14 y/o ACD
Abutiu "Abi"-ACD puppy and hopeful future SAR dog!

What's bad weather?
We go out in any weather. I got Massie (at 10 weeks) in the winter and we had record low temps and record high snows that year. We were out in it every day and we both had a blast!

Count me in also for any kind of weather. If it's super cold (like below 10 degrees Far. ), raining to beat he11, snowin like a mutha...you name it, we're out in it. I use paw wax or bag balm on his feet if it's really icy.
The only concession I will make is running him (as in running with me) in the heat here. Since he is a long coat, we don't run in the summer except in the EARLY am or the very late pm. He does enjoy other activity then, such as playing with the hose, hiking, swimming, etc.
Invest in some good layers, such as a waterproof shell, a down "sweater" jacket, and a fleece mid-layer and you're set!

In Kyleigh's mind, there is NO such thing as bad weather. That is one of the main reasons I have a GSD ... I wanted a dog that could adapt to all kinds of weather. If I wanted to stay in the house all the time, I wouldn't have a dog.
Bundle up / or strip down to the basics is my motto ... go with the weather. (Unless it's a thunder and lightning storm or just stupid hot).
Kyleigh and I were out for an hour this morning, and 2.5 hours this afternoon ... it's -27 with the windchill ... yes, it was freaking cold. But she found a friend, and then two of them ran and wrestled the entire time. I had FOUR layers of clothes on, and all she had was fur! I think she was still warmer than I was!
Even at 10 weeks, the puppy can still go out and have some fun (not necessarily for 2.5 hours, but it can still be outside and moving!)

I got Arwen at five weeks old in mid July. So when the river froze over she was probably six months or less. I took the two of them down into the woods and Frodo got stuck on the other side of the River. Finally he tried to cross it and the ice broke and I had to go into the river to rescue him. Arwen also on the way back up dropped into the drink. But I fished her out quick.
I brought them back up and put them in the kennel while I went inside and pulled off my wet things and dried off and got into dry things. Then I went out to get Frodo and dry him off because he was totally submersed and in the water longer. I started with him, I should have started with the pup.
Anyway, after he was dry, I got Arwen and dried her off, and we were all inside a few hours later, everyone lying down in the living room, and Arwen got up to come over to me and it was like she could no longer control her back end.
I freaked.
I called the vet and rushed her in. She was walking by then. They said a touch of Hypothermia. She was perfectly ok and had no lasting effects, but I should have gotten her dried off quicker as she was a puppy and did not have the layer of fat adult dogs do.
At this point, my 7 month old pups are out all day and I bring them in at night. They have houses out there. The 10 month old puppies have an indoor outdoor kennel. I figure if I need long johns, they need straw. It has been so warm this year that I just put straw in Monday. If you put straw in early, they just pull it out. They can handle some pretty extreme temperatures, as long as you keep them out of the river that is.

Like many others, we get cold (well I do anyway, lol), wet, muddy, etc. The only weather that will keep us from walking, playing, etc. is driving downpours and thunderstorms, and even then if there is a break in the storm we get in as much outdoor time as the weather will allow. On the rare days when the weather doesn't allow enough time outdoors we play indoors, do extra training indoors, and use puzzle toys like the Kong Wobbler.

My friend and co-trainer started a Puppy Playtime group last year to address this issue for youngsters. We held classes for puppies under 6 months and another for puppies 6-12 months old...they were not formal training but instead were an "indoor dog park" where we could monitor and control the environment and participants. Limited enrollment, an indoor school gym with matting, toys, water bowls, etc. The whole point was to let the puppies "run free" to wrestle, run, bark, chew, and generally have a ball while learning socialization skills, bite inhibition, etc. We had informal discussions with the owners about typical puppy issues, and at times had everyone call their dogs to them for a quick break, etc. Was a WONDERFUL success.
There are two kinds of dogs: Dogs who are German Shepherds, and dogs who WISH they were German Shepherds....

America needs to overcome the trait of class envy
Mickey Iarrapino, Wolcott
I read with some interest and even more disgust Cyrus Miller's Nov. 28 letter, "Conservatives fail to grasp wisdom in pleas for fairness," in which he called Craig Hoffman (Nov. 25 letter, "Why won't Obama, Democrats explain what 'fair share' is?") "another bloviating conservative." When I got to the part where Mr. Miller said a dollar isn't worth as much to a zillionaire as it is to a wage earner, I decided to respond.
Mr. Miller is wrong. A dollar is worth as much to a zillionaire as it is to a poor person. Actually, in my experience, a dollar is even more valuable to someone who worked hard for it than it is to someone it was given to. It seems most liberals think "rich" people got their wealth through some divine gift, and it's not fair that some people are rich and others are not. That's also wrong.
Although some "rich" people inherited their money, the fact is that somewhere along the line, someone was brought up right, had a dream or idea, worked hard, made good life choices, saved money, invested wisely and became successful. These people paid taxes, probably provided jobs, most likely gave to charity and their church, and were productive members of society. Why should they, just because they worked hard and succeeded, have to pay more in taxes than anybody else? Why should a billionaire have to pay millions in taxes when I only have to pay thousands for the same government services? That's not fair.
And why stop there? Using Mr. Miller's logic, why not make a successful person pay more for groceries? For example, why not make people who earn $50,000 per year pay $2.50 for a gallon of milk while setting the price at $3.00 per gallon for those making $100,000? Let's make things really fair: Groceries should be free for those who don't earn any wages. Oh wait, we already do that. How about sales taxes?
Mr. Miller asserts conservatives have a "me, my and mine" mindset. That is unfair. A look at the data reveals Republicans in general and rich Republicans in particular give much more to charity than their counterparts in the Democratic Party, and by a very large margin.
Mr. Miller went on to offer some ridiculous analogy about medical procedures and taxes. Using this logic, why would anyone want to achieve more than anyone else does? They would risk losing the very hands they used to achieve.
We as a nation have to get over class envy. Success is not something to be ashamed of. Success is what America is all about. The opportunity for success is guaranteed to all Americans, but success is guaranteed to no one. It is something that has to be earned through hard work, good parenting and proper life choices. If people would stop worrying about what others have achieved and focus on trying to achieve things for themselves and their children, this country would revert to the great nation it once was, a nation where most people only wanted the opportunity to succeed. People also didn't think they were owed a living, but that they owed their country for being offered the chance to succeed.
What happened to the John F. Kennedy Democrats? With the Barack H. Obama Democrats, it's "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you."

Editor's Review
PETCO's Finishing Brush is a solid, affordable grooming tool.
December 9, 2010 10:19 am | By Zootoo Editor AmyLi
The Bristle Finishing Brush by PETCO is a solid, good brush that is most likely to fit the grooming needs of short-haired cats; long-haired cats with thick coats might have to look elsewhere to find a brush that has what it takes to get at all their knots and tangles.
But then again, the finishing brush only advertises itself as such – a means to add shine and polish to your cat's cat, to help distribute healthy coat oils and to stimulate skin. Its thin, plastic bristles are said to be ideal for cats with sensitive skin, who couldn't stand a metal comb coming at them.
Given that description, the finishing brush does its job – and looks pretty cute while doing so, too, with its little paw print design imprinted on the bristles. The rubber handle makes it easy for owners to get a firm grip on the brush and stay comfortable while grooming their cats.
And most cats that don't generally shy away from being brushed or combed shouldn't mind this treatment, either. The brush doesn't have the ability to dig deep into a cat's coat, but it is functional and will provide a nice shine to a cat or kitten's lackluster coat.
It also does a fairly impressive job of helping to decrease shedding, if used regularly, several times a week, depending on your cat's propensity to shed and amount of hair. The bristles aren't extremely soft, so the brush might not be a great fit for a very young kitten. But for others, this brush will likely be regarded as a useful, reliable and reasonably priced grooming tool.
Pros: Reasonably priced, good for cats who shy away from metal combs.
Cons: Plastic bristle may be too hard for cats with sensitive skin; not suitable for long-haired cats.

Picture: Nicolas Cage - Nicolas Cage at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) - Los Angeles, California, United States - Wednesday 5th March 2014
Actor Nicolas Cage feared he would be bitten by a poisonous snake on the set of his upcoming movie Joe after he was forced to wrestle with the reptile on camera.
The Face/Off star reveals he worried about his safety during one particular scene with co-star Tye Sheridan and he feared the creature would not like being manhandled, according to the New York Post.
He says, "The challenge was not having it bite me, but also spit venom in Tye's face. So I had to hold it in a very careful way, and then when I tossed it... I was also worried that it would turn around and bite me on my neck.
"(It was) incredible. I felt that I was surfing the adrenaline of picking the snake up, and when I was done with it, I was exhausted."

What to Expect from the New SAT
What's Changed?
In the past, each multiple choice question had five answers to select from, but the new test only features four answers. However, most questions will require more steps to reach an answer.
Additionally, students would not be penalized for skipping a question, but they would lose points for getting an answer wrong. On the new test, students will not be penalized for choosing the wrong answer. This makes it beneficial to randomly guess when unsure.
Sentence Completion and Short Reading Comprehension are no longer included on the test. Reading passages now include complex vocabulary and require critical thinking skills. Some Reading passages also include scientific charts. This makes the new SAT a slight simulation of the ACT's "Science Reasoning" section.
Ivy Bound Students Ready to Roll for the New SAT
Ivy Bound students will be ready. Many in the class of 2017 have been studying for the new SAT since December, and a good number of sophomores (Class of 2018) have begun their study to target the March, May and June SATs.
"March is the ideal target" says Ivy Bound's Founder Mark Greenstein. "It gives students more chances to test and let super-scoring take effect". Super-scoring is the process of colleges crediting the best Math and best Verbal scores from a multitude of tests. All northeast colleges and the vast majority outside the northeast super-score the SAT, making it advantageous to test multiple times.
Some students will prep hard, do well on their first SAT and be "one and done". "Everyone loves the one-and-done result", says Greenstein. "It gives students more time for academics, sports, driver-ed, and other extracurricular activities. We have always encouraged our students to prep well enough to potentially make their first SAT their last."
Will The SAT Be Harder To Study In 2016?
The alternative offers little comfort: The ACT has long been harder to study for, since it tests English, Math, Science, Reading and Writing. That is broader still than the SAT, which tests science only tangentially and has a more straightforward essay.
The advantage of taking the ACT is consistency. Students can study now using materials that the ACT has put out for years. For SAT, there are no past actual tests, and just four simulated ones. Since we recommend students make use of ten or more tests (at least five for practice tests and five that are broken into pieces for targeted study) the ACT's consistency advantage is significant. This is further advanced if a student needs to take SAT Subject Tests this spring. The dates for the May and June Subject Tests prevent students from taking the SAT on those same dates. As a result, students studying for the SAT in March who want to take Subject Tests in May and June have to wait until October to take the SAT.
Should Schools use the SAT for Assessment?
Using the SAT or ACT tests meant to show a high schooler's aptitude for college challenges, if used to instead assess teachers, school boards, or administrators, is a perversion.
Why does this multi-state move to SAT and ACT for its assessments have so much weight?
Some say it's because of over-testing. Moving to the SAT/ACT, which almost all college-bound students must take anyhow, "kills two birds with one stone". Others say it's a test that many students are studying for anyhow, so they are more "invested in their own success" and the outcomes are more representative. This is a better answer, but it's still not sufficient.
My answer — it's a new fad that's caught the fancy of the education establishment. This is sad, for many of us don't think education establishment gets it. Remember, the education establishment has been prone to endorse things that are trendy. Supported by fuzzy "research shows", educators have embraced at times "open classrooms", Stanford-9s, SBAC, and various other assessments.
College Interviewing Goes Both Ways
Why I Quit As A Yale Alumni Interviewer, by Ben Orlin
Mark Greenstein, founder & Lead Instructor of Ivy Bound Test Prep wrote:
Mr. Orlin is an inappropriate representative of Yale and the college selection process at elite schools. The interview is the one opportunity for students to put their true selves before an evaluating admissions person. Since application essays routinely involve adult guidance, interviews are the best way a college has of knowing the student "behind the transcript".
Mr. Orlin's description of his interview process shows he squandered the opportunity. "You take a smart, ambitious 17-year-old out for hot chocolate, ask him about his life, and then report back to the university 'Yup, this is another great kid' " has all the markings of a government bureaucrat's rubber stamp. With this blase, vapid interviewing, you are not allowing a extra-meritorious student to stand out.
An interviewer who takes the job seriously helps discern the depth of a student's learning, the passion fueling a student's extracurricular activities, and even the resourcefulness a student can show (or not) when posed a challenging question.
Can The SAT "Level The Playing Field?"
Answer: It won't.
Most students will find excelling on the redesigned SAT more difficult. That owes to the injection of higher level math, scientific evaluations in reading, and analysis required on essays. Whereas the SAT tested skills that mainstream students are taught in at latest 9th grade, students are about to be tested on math usually not introduced until 11th grade, and in some schools NEVER introduced. Whereas the SAT tested reading and vocabulary exclusively, it is now punctuating its reading test with scientific interpretations of graphs and charts. Whereas the SAT essay asked for students to make an argument, it now requires them to analyze arguments others put forth, using rhetorical terms many students have never heard of.
Yet the Redesigned SAT was touted as "leveling the playing field". How can is be? Here are two reasons why this is consistent.
Do Top Colleges Bring Students Higher Earnings?
College Applications, Parental Exasperations, by Robert Scherrer
Kevin Weaver, Instructor and Test Prep Developer, and
Mark Greenstein, founder of Ivy Bound Test Prep wrote:
Prof. Scherrer's sad-but-humorous anecdotes are revealing and laudable. But we take issue with one of his contentions, perhaps the most important one: the earnings clout that a top college brings. Many studies have revealed the higher earnings associated with these colleges and universities.

God is completing Heaven and Earth. Heaven was full of splendor... and the Angels were filled with laughter. Except for Lucifer, the most exquisite Angel in heaven and the most jealous of God. However, Lucifer did not gather his jealousy of God and the thought of War by himself. Lucifer was tempted, and manipulated into thinking he could defeat God, by an unknown evil, just as powerful as God.
Who was the force behind the uprising in Heaven against God and His Angels? The written word of the bible acknowledges Satan as the agitator; however, as we find out through mythology and pagan cultures of ancient times, Satan did not act of his own free will. He was influenced by this entity of true anger, evil and power beyond power.
This entity was neither male nor female, living nor dead, flesh nor spirit, good nor evil, merciful nor malicious, alpha nor omega, beginning nor end, hope nor hopelessness. Its name was no name. To encounter it was endless and to understand it was futile. Hades was a sand box compared to the vast wilderness of its Armageddon.

Additional Location Information
Isla Bastimentos is a 7 minute boat ride from Bocas Town ($3 a person each way) and an island of no roads, just a sidewalk. We find that Basti exudes the true spirit of the Caribbean as people here are of West Indian decent and speak Guari Guari which is a creole patois that sounds like a Jamaican dialect. We are a 5 minute walk from the public boat dock or a 2 minute walk from the dock we use, "Cholo's Dock". If you like being close to town but don't want to feel as if you are staying at the party, we are the perfect option. Bastimentos is more untouched, more tropical than Bocas Town. If you like seeing how the locals live and want a true island experience, we are for you. If you don't like to be walled off away from the culture, we are for you. Here, reggae music plays and children run around. The locals are very friendly and everyone knows each other. We sit just out of the "town" of Bastimentos, Old Bank, and are a short walk to restaurants including ROOTS, Bushman's Kitchen & coffee shop and organic farm UP IN THE HILL. Red Frog beach and zipline are a 5 minute boat ride away. We have access to boat drivers to take you snorkeling or on a day trip around the islands. Scuba 6 is located in Old Bank and gives our guests special rates. There are plenty of hikes including a beautiful 35 minute trek to Wizard Beach. The popular excursion, The Bastimentos Bat Caves is just a boat ride away. There is a very small beach directly to our left with a cleared area for swimming. Access is rocky so water shoes are recommended. There are several surf breaks within walking distance and many more minutes away by boat. We have yoga classes on our deck once a week (and can arrange more if your group is interested). We also have a massage therapist/esthetician on hand for all of your massage, waxing and facial needs. Bastimentos is the perfect jumping off point for everything in Bocas!

Georgia jobless rate hits highest level in 6 months.
The actual rate is closer to 17%. We are currently stuck in a vicious cycle. Consumers need to consume more to create demand that will lead employers to hire more employees. Unfortunately, due to high unemployment and the uncertainty surrounding the debt crisis both here and abroad, consumers are spending less (according to a CNN poll 70% of the respondents have cut back) leading to continued reduction in demand which is leading to continued cutbacks by producers.

If Toyota were tried in the court of media and automobile expert opinion, the company would likely be executed sometime soon. However, if the company's customers made up the jury, it's possible Toyota could do a year in jail at worst, and at best 90 days probation. That's what the findings of a recent study out of Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business show. Despite hundreds of negative stories generated by the press and predictions of the company's demise by experts, customers remain loyal. In a survey of 455 U.

The Art and Art History Department at Mills College includes both art history and studio art majors. The Art History Program, which offers a wide range of European, American, and Asian art history courses, incorporates broad cultural and historical perspectives. The major prepares students for graduate study and for careers in museums, galleries, arts administration, and art criticism.
In addition to a lively and diverse curriculum in art history, students benefit from several endowed programs. Each year, a special course is given under the auspices of the Denise Beirnes Studies in Art History Endowment (since 1993–94, offerings have surveyed African American, Chicano, Latin American, Asian American, and lesbian art histories). The Jane Green Endowment for Studies in Art History and Criticism each year brings a distinguished speaker to campus to give public lectures as well as classroom presentations (speakers to date have included Lucy R. Lippard, Linda Nochlin, Vishakha Desai, Elizabeth Cropper, Alberto Manguel, Apinan Poshyananda, Whitney Chadwick, Deborah Willis, and Wu Hung). The Art Department also offers the Correnah W. Wright Lecture Series on Contemporary Art, which features prominent artists and writers (speakers to date have included Dave Hickey, Fred Wilson, Catherine Opie, May Stevens, Komar and Melamid, Dinh Q. Le, and Shahzia Sikander).
Internships are offered by major museums and galleries in the Bay Area to students who are interested in exploring careers as curators, preparators, designers, and teachers. Study abroad programs in Europe and Asia and exchange programs with colleges on the East Coast provide Mills students with opportunities to study art in various cultural environments and to enrich their aesthetic understanding. On campus, the Mills College Art Museum provides interested students with experience in all phases of museum work, including curatorial duties, installation, and cataloging. To support students' research interests, the Visual Resources library offers digital access to Mills' collection of images illustrating arts and cultures worldwide.
Mills College's innovative Bachelor's-to-Master's Accelerated Degree Programs allow you to earn a master's degree in one additional year of study. Combining a master's degree with a liberal arts undergraduate education prepares you for career success and increased options upon graduation. Mills students in this major should consider one of these options:

This review is from: LIAN LI PC-V2110A Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: Really a well thought out design, top quality workmanship. I really love the minimalist design. I have a dual-CPU server board in the case with 8TB of RAID storage and a massive GPU. Plenty of space and everything is staying very cool. I was suprised how quiet the fans are, even at full speed. I really like the simple, but effective drive mounts.
Cons: Although pretty much everything attaches with thumb-screws, you still need the occasional screwdriver.
Other Thoughts: Newegg does a great job at getting stuff delivered fast. They are always faster than other equipment dealers I use.

Other Thoughts: Overall an excellent case. I am very pleased with this purchase, as I feel it was well worth the high price tag. There is a little room for improvement, but a superb case when it comes down to it.

Pros: I purchased this case because I liked its simple, yet elegant appearance, and it could accommodate all my components. I thought the front cover would make it quieter. I was wrong in that regard.
Cons: This was the third computer I built in the space of six months with essentially the same components. I used two to three 15k rpm serial scsi drives in a raid 0 for software, swap space, etc., combined with three SATA 7.2k drives in a raid 5. The vibration from them in this case produced an acceptable sound level. The problem is the way they are mounted. The side mount screws have rubber washers that are inadequate, and therefore transfer the vibration to the vertical metal plates that support the drive compartments. These plates are too flimsy, and vibrate themselves, which seems to be the source of the noise generation. I contemplated remanufacturing the case, but then decided to use it only occasionally for testing new software, and when I had a lot a number crunching. (All computers are used as engineering workstations, with no games.)
Other Thoughts: I know the noise is a fault of Lian-Li case for two reasons: (1) I did not have the problem with the same drive setup in an Antec P180, which was very crowded with all the drives, and a Thermaltake Armor MX, which looked somewhat geeky to me. (2) I sequentially pulled the drives but kept them connected. Sound levels progressively went down.

WOW! The paintwork is amazing and I LOVE the background, just... woooooow that background!!! The girl's hair could be a little more "free-flowing" but other than that, she looks pretty stellar too. ^ ^
Oh my God....This is beautiful


text: Hey everybody! Im new to this forum and im seeking some help. I have recently started to work on my master thesis. The subject is 'Modeling of viscosity of ionic liquids in binary mixtures with organic solvents'. Im using few predictive and correlative methods (e.g. 3 and 4 body McAllister, Grundberg-Nissan, Seddon, Eyring-UNIQUAC, Eyring-NRTL and UNIFAC-VISCO). I should make or modify an existing program written using Fortran77. So far, im having problem with writing program for NRTL and UNIFAC-VISCO. I found some written in microsoft excel but they're all for activity coefficient and not viscosity. I would be grateful if someone could help me! Cheers!

ABSTRACT: Reconfigurable antenna implementation can be separated into three main processes: Antenna design, simulation, and optimization. The objective of this paper is to provide insight into the selections that must be made to implement a reconfigurable antenna, serving as a guideline for future reconfigurable antenna designers as to what needs to be done before a model is constructed, such as choosing a suitable antenna structure and reconfiguration technology, a proper simulation environment, and an adequate optimization algorithm that will allow smooth transitions between reconfigurable states. These selections are directly dependent on the given project requirements. Several options are presented for each case, and particular selections are made based on desired characteristics.

ABSTRACT: An architecture for a O(1)-loss irreversible n-bit counter is presented in this paper. It is presented as an initial stepping stone application that is suitable for clarifying the potential energy-efficiency advantages of reversible computing. It is based on using fairly standard, irreversible, semi-static CMOS logic. Care is taken to ensure that energy is not dissipated at subsequent counter bits, except those that are actually changing values on a given cycle. The design utilizes two-phase non-overlapping clocks, phi0 and phi1 with fast rise and fall times. For high system level energy-efficiency, the clocks were generated resonantly using the rotary clock scheme. XOR gates serve as phase detectors with AND gates helping to maintain parity checking. Transmission gates ensure a semi-static logic since the logic levels are restored only during the high portion of the clock period. We compared the power dissipation of an 8-bit counter designed using this logic to a standard 8-bit binary counter design using flip-flops in the 50 nm process and recorded a power advantage of about 60%. A prototype will be sent to MOSIS for fabrication to confirm energy advantage of this design after testing.
Conference Paper: Power analysis of resonant clocks[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Resonant clocks are new design techniques for multi-gigahertz clock distributions that are gaining prominence in the design of low power and ultrahigh frequency microprocessors. In the radiofrequency range, new challenges with respect to skews and jitters become greatly pronounced rendering many conventional clocking techniques inadequate. In this work, we present a comparative study of the power dissipation of three resonant clocking techniques: standing wave, rotary wave and dasiaresonant-loadpsila global clock distributions. Specifically, we generated non-overlapping clock signals resonantly to drive transmission gates in the design of our new binary counter. We used a simplified Sunpsilas SwaP Metric to determine the power efficiency of each resonant technique. All of our designs were simulated using Agilent ADS 2006A. Furthermore, our analysis has revealed that the rotary clock design can achieve a power efficiency of a magnitude of two compared to the other resonant clock techniques.

The mentality of some Xbox One owners suggests that they will play Destiny until the Master Chief Collection releases in November. Their gameplay investments will then be funneled into Halo's multiplayer. While Halo 2 was my favorite multiplayer game, I do not wish to get an Xbox One for access. Instead, I would rather get exclusive Destiny content on Playstation 4. If you have chosen your console based upon other exclusive titles or system-specific perks, this thread does not apply to you. [i][b]I am targeting an audience of those interested in Halo and Destiny only.[/b][/i] [i]Under the reign of Bungie, Halo was a game changer in the pool competitive multiplayer games.[/i] It imprinted a new standard of quality of the FPS genre. It did this while being a console exclusive for Xbox--it could compete with the multi-platform, Call of Duty franchise. Halo would continue to excel beyond expectations of its audience until Bungie's contract with Microsoft ended after a decade. As the dust settled, 343i took over Halo--with them, promising to mirror the success of previous installments developed by Bungie. 343i began remaking Halo: Combat Evolved in order to bolster the Halo franchise and provide an initial boost of momentum. The game's reception was positive; however, many were upset that online multiplayer was absent. The remake was solid, and 343i released Halo 4 roughly a year later. Success for 343i's first original Halo game was not fulfilled, evidenced by the exponential decrease in player population in less than a year. [Updated - Thanks to LordofSwagMirals] To their credit, 343i listened to its fans and will soon release a game that contains a collection of Halo's 1-4, called the Master Chief Collection. Halo 2 has been graphically upgraded and improved in other areas such as the addition of online multiplayer co-op in the campaign. All of these Halo's will feature online competitive multiplayer. It is expected that this game will be successful. This is not the inherent problem with the future of Halo. [b][i]Will 343i be able to sustain the Halo franchise when they no longer can depend on remaking games developed by Bungie?[/i] [/b] [i]Halo 5 must bring innovation and balance[/i] in order for future Halo installments to thrive. If this game does not deliver, I believe that Halo will lose a significant amount of momentum. Because 343i does not have a reputable track record, I do not believe that it is justifiable to choose an Xbox One for Destiny and the future of Halo. On the Xbox One, individuals will have access to Halo and Destiny--the best of both worlds. However, I believe [i]Destiny will harbor longevity[/i] in its life-span. In contrast, Halo will experience short-term success with the MCC and lose steam with future, non-remake installments. My predictions are based primarily upon my gameplay experience with Halo's 1-4, the Halo: CE remake, the Destiny Alpha, and the track records of Bungie and 343i. Remember, this is just my [i][u]opinion[/u][/i]. Your perspective may be different. [b]Destiny will be a great game on either system, but do you prefer Halo & Destiny [i][u]or[/u][/i] Destiny & Exclusive content? Let me know your reasoning in the comment section below! [/b] *I highly respect all of my commentators, regardless of opinion. No matter what system you play Destiny on, the Bungie community is about unity and supporting fellow members. [i]We are all on the same team.[/i]
Mythic Regret7/16/2014 4:52:34 AM PermalinkOr you know, You could get an xbox one for destiny and not care about exclusives. Don't forget sunset overdrive /joy #shotsfired
Spartan6177/16/2014 4:49:09 AM PermalinkPs4: timed destiny content. Xbox one: gets halo mcc and the ps4 destiny content later on. [spoiler]xbox wins [/spoiler] Wait no [spoiler]gamers win[/spoiler]
Call Of Tuti7/14/2014 7:41:34 AM PermalinkI think people are just being influenced a lot by that marketing strategy. Considering how big Destiny will be, that exclusive content is not even 2%, the only important things in that exclusive content are the 2 multiplayer maps and maybe the strike, but its a time exclusive and we will eventually get that content. So yeah, i prefer Destiny, Halo MCC and HALO 5 over Desinty+timed exclusive content.
crimzontearz7/14/2014 12:28:41 PM PermalinkIn a perfect world I would have kept my Xbox one for halo and destiny.....BUT.....MS decided I was no longer their target audience, I was just a core gamer, thus I was less important. So I switched. I may eventually buy an Xbox One again IF Halo 5 turns out to be amazing but so far I doubt it. So now my hopes are for PS4 and Destiny to fill that void
nickpeck38Edited by nickpeck38: 7/14/2014 5:48:22 PM PermalinkOr, none of that matters and you can just play and enjoy both because I know I will. How does 343 have a bad track record? They have done just fine as the remake was fantastic and H4 was a damn good game. Obviously H5 needs to do well for the series to move forward, but that goes for every franchise. As for the timed exclusive stuff? I could care less because there will be much more to do than to worry about a few skins and one level (that I played in alpha anyways so I won't miss it). Xbox is getting it later on anyways so I really do not see the issue, but I understand fantards need something to cry about to keep up their daily hate / complain quota. Also, are the track records what YOU think about the games? If so, that's completely subjective anyways, but it's your opinion and it's fine, but one opinion over another doesn't really = "truth". 343 has big shoes to fill and they will do it just fine, you need to give them some time. They have been listening to constructive criticism and will make any changes accordingly. Everything will be fine. Both games will sell a ton and be enjoyed by millions. Oh, I guess I support Halo and Destiny to answer that last question.
J smalls 2147/14/2014 5:20:12 PM PermalinkBeen playing Halo for almost a decade now... Going to stick with the console that supports that addiction. And I will gladly take MCC over a few exclusive toys, like the two don't even compare lol. For those who made the switch you have my sympathies, MCC is going to be badass.
Sparten95627/14/2014 5:19:19 PM Permalinkill rather be able to play both and not have to choose
DaGamingFailure7/14/2014 4:19:15 PM PermalinkI agree with the majority of your writing, however I believe the title is unfair. Comparing MCC to Destiny isn't all that fair. None of the games in the MCC were ever intended for next (or current I guess is what it is now) gen consoles, Destiny, however, is for the most part. So obviously compared to Destiny, it won't look as good. It'd be like comparing a slightly improved GTA San Andreas to GTAV. You just don't, well can't. They were made for two different generations of consoles.
ProjectLionheart7/14/2014 4:02:32 PM PermalinkI violated the [url=/en/View/bungie/conduct]Code of Conduct[/url] and was met with Ninja Justice.
Fallout7/14/2014 3:52:43 PM PermalinkIt's good to see someone making valid points and not whining and complaining at the same time. We need more posts like this. If I read another whiny post about not getting "timed dlc" I'm gonna cry.
IlluminatiChild7/14/2014 3:56:27 PM PermalinkI want both. Halo 5 and Destiny. MCC is just for memories really.
ChewyNutClusterEdited by ChewyNutCluster: 7/14/2014 1:29:10 PM PermalinkI love Halo, but I do agree with most Halo fans that Halo 4 was a step in the wrong direction. I am extremely excited about the Master Chief collection and I can't imagine not being able to play it come November. I am a little more hyped for Destiny over the MCC due to it being an all new franchise, but I am really looking forward to playing them both. So, to answer your question, Halo and Destiny together is more important to me than the exclusive content for Destiny. In getting an Xbox One, I am able to play Destiny and the MCC, but also have the opportunity to follow Halo into the future. Although Halo 4 was not a great game, I am still cautiously optimistic about Halo 5 as 343 employees have been hinting highly towards a more competitive experience in their next game. I believe that Destiny won't be quite as competitive as Halo can be with the right settings due to all the customization and shorter kill times so Halo will be my hardcore competitive game when I want to be an XxMLGTryHardProxX and Destiny will just be my awesome all around Story/Co-op/Multiplayer game.
Belatar7/14/2014 12:20:24 PM PermalinkThis was long post didn't read it all! But I like ps4 cause of exclusives like LBP, infamous, Uncharted, KillZone (sort of), and I really dig the indies. The exclusives here for PS aren't that fantastic! However, if PS4 continues to be Bungie's favorite child then I will be happy For those future exclusives!
Krazy 245Edited by Krazy 245: 7/14/2014 11:50:37 AM Permalinkso you're decision to get a PS4 over an Xbox is solely so that you get a crappy set of starter armour and weapons which will be obsolete after a couple levels a few months before xbox instead of 4 remastered games packaged into one? I don't really care what systems people go for, but thats one of the silliest reasons I've seen for someone picking one console over another
Kuraikoto7/14/2014 5:12:40 AM PermalinkWell sir, I'll be going with Destiny and MCC. I won't make a decision based off timed exclusives unless its along the lines of: which store's time exclusive gear do I like the most? I really don't care for the PS4 controller (although I'm definitely hoping to win the PS4 destiny bundle) and can't afford both consoles at the moment. I really liked the old Halo games, the newest is getting a lot of flak that is motivated by questionable factors (in my opinion.) I have a friend in law school who is dying to play MCC and Destiny with me. Furthermore, my dad will never switch to a PS4 when he does get the new gen. As a result, I'll go with Xbox One when I upgrade for Destiny. I am a little shocked about the exclusives though. A lot of people have exaggerated it since day 1 (trolls or not), especially ignoring the "timed" factor. However, if it really includes multiple maps and not just the cosmetics of ship/gear/guns, I'm not a fan considering the length is until Fall 2015 (allegedly). The store exclusives never bothered me much since the internet makes it accessible to practically everyone, bundling it via platforms is another matter and not exactly admirable but it seems all platforms will negotiate this more and more regardless.
Epicfailville7/14/2014 4:35:34 AM PermalinkI'm excited for both and will play both. I liked Halo 4 for the exact reason many people seemed to hate it, it showed Master Chiefs human side for once. I look forward to Halo 5 showing more of his struggle with his humanity. I am also looking forward to spending the next ten years immersed in the universe of Destiny and fighting back the Darkness shoulder to shoulder with Gaurdians from around the world. I see no reason to quit one simply because I want to play the other.
Bloodylaser7/14/2014 4:34:46 AM PermalinkI plan to get both and I plan to get Destiny on PS4 for the exclusive content but if I got it on Xbox one I couldn't care less about the exclusive content Destiny will look great on Xbox One and no matter what platform you play Destiny on you are a gamer and Bungie fan like me. [spoiler]and I'm getting sick of the console wars for Destiny it is not needed[/spoiler]
zero wellz27/14/2014 3:30:43 AM Permalinkwould I like, destiny and some exclusive guns, armor, a map and a strike, or destiny and pretty much every halo game yeah still don't regret my xbox purchase sorry sony
NashtaliaEdited by Nashtalia: 7/14/2014 4:26:18 AM Permalinkno...yue. [spoiler]on a serious note...i prefer N7... #massEffect but yeah...destiny fer me :)[/spoiler]
Betrael7/14/2014 3:39:58 PM PermalinkHaving already played every Halo game I will probably wait quite some time to pick up the MCC, Destiny is new and exciting, everything else will take a backseat to the Traveler.
EliteStriker1447/14/2014 4:18:28 AM PermalinkThanks to my two favorite games being on two different consoles I (soon) am getting a PS4 to propel my gaming life. Sadly of course because one console used to be how it was. Now you must own two for all the good stuff.
waltzz227/14/2014 3:30:41 AM Permalink[quote]The mentality of some Xbox One owners suggests that they will play Destiny until the Master Chief Collection releases in November. Their gameplay investments will then be funneled into Halo's multiplayer[/quote] hehehe We will see how that works out, could be more than one of them will buy into Destiny and not make the jump out hehehe
wh1plash27/14/2014 3:26:31 AM PermalinkI'll take getting 5 games, and little less content, to one game with a little more timed content. I plan to play both haloMCC, and Destiny, will depend which freinds are on. Most likely it will be haloMCC during the week, and Destiny on the weekends.

Get parent layer from Layer Extensionkirkktx Apr 9, 2010 12:19 PM (in response to wguidry)If you implement ILayerExtensionDraw, the parent layer gets passed as an arg, in either of the two methods.
I found it unstable to keep a (strong) reference member varialbe to the parent layer, maybe some sort of weak reference strategy could be used though - I've never tried.

Hi Kirk, I have been using a strong reference and although I haven't had any issues with it for a few months now I have a feeling it will come back to bite me later on. That's why I figured I should ask. I wasn't aware of the draw interface having the parent layer, that is extremely helpful. thanks!
Get parent layer from Layer Extensionwguidry Apr 13, 2010 1:44 PM (in response to wguidry)Kirk,
I tried implementing the ILayerExtensionDraw interface. I put messagebox statements in the BeforeLayerDraw and AfterLayerDraw to see when they fire, however they never seem to fire? I noticed on the old forums you had a sample in VB and it seemed it was that easy to setup, is there something I have to do differently in .NET/C# to get these events to fire (i.e. register the layer extensions with COM or something)? Or is there another interface that I'm also supposed to setup for these events to work?
Get parent layer from Layer Extensionkirkktx Apr 15, 2010 6:08 AM (in response to wguidry)Are you sure you've added your layer extension to a layer via ILayerExtensions.AddExtension?

Get parent layer from Layer Extensionwguidry Apr 22, 2010 10:25 AM (in response to wguidry)Kirk,
sorry for taking so long to get back to this... I'm running my code in Engine 9.3 (not 9.3.1) and even tried it in Desktop at 9.3 and it doesn't work. I'll copy your code over and try yours instead and see if it works in 9.3, maybe I'm overlooking something... if not, perhaps it was a bug in 9.3 fixed in 9.3.1? I'll do some more test to find out and let you know... thanks
Get parent layer from Layer Extensionwguidry Apr 22, 2010 1:57 PM (in response to wguidry)Just realized that I wasn't clear on what kind of layers I'm using... we are using Temporal layers to attach layer extensions to. If I run your code (or mine) on feature layers, you are correct, the events fire as expected, however I'm noticing on temporal layers in 9.3 that the events never fire with the exact same code to add the layer extension.
Re: Get parent layer from Layer Extensionwguidry Jun 30, 2010 7:50 AM (in response to wguidry)FYI... for anyone who runs into this. Regarding this problem, this was a quote from an ESRI technical lead:
"All we do internally for regular FeatureLayers and NetworkLayers is
loop through each layer and check its extensions. The temporal layers
simply do not contain this loop for the extensions and thus are unable
to fire the events."
It appears they will also re-evaluate in 10 to see if this can be fixed.

This aloe vera juice sort of tasted like gasoline. It was so repulsive, I just threw the whole bottle away. Unfortunately, since it's a food item, I can't return it. I'm glad it only cost me a few dollars. It's not worth a penny.
J'utilise ce jus d'aloe vera pour hydrater mes cheveux, je le mets dans mon vapo!! Je trouve qu'il est extremement moins cher qu'en France!!! Merci iherb !!!!

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) (R-S.C.) made remarks about the nomination of Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense that indicated he might be leaning toward rejecting the nomination. Graham said:
I thought his confirmation hearing was disturbing. We don't have enough information. We haven't gotten the information we requested. I don't think we should vote on him until we get all the things we've requested on all the speeches he's made. I hope the administration will reconsider his nomination. He's a good man, but these are dangerous times. What kind of signal are you sending to the Iranians when your secretary of defense is clueless about what your policy is?
Graham didn't take a side in the dispute between Senate Minority leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who favors filibustering the nomination, and Senator Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who's against it. He stated:
I'm going to try to make sure that I get all the information — he made 15 speeches for money, I want to know what he said. I want to get all the information available to us so we can make an informed decision. But I can tell you this–I've never seen the world more dangerous than it is now.
