I never saw that fight on tv but I was at it live and you're right, Simms clearly lost. In his defense though, it had to be tough being so much less talented, making so much less money and being in Marvin's shadow all those years.

Then when i met Marvin, i was actually visiting some old friends back in Brockton and i ran into him at a small restaurant. We talked, he asked about where i was from in brockton, we talked about the area in general, i asked him how thigns are going in Milan, then i talked about the elephant in the room. saying; "You kicked Leonards Ass". He said, "Dont gotta tell me twice, man. fvck Sugar Gay Leonard!" I actually had some blue and white boxing shorts that i got him sign the next day at a local gym. Its not that he wasnt nice, he seemed quite pleasant to me, just anti-social and bitter. Especially boxing, he still loves it like any otherman who has been in the ring would, but he seemed pissed at it.
it was an honor to shake his hand. His hand was way bigger than mine. If you ever shake a newborn's hand, imagine the newborn as me, and you as ron lyle.

Magento Gold Solution Partner Optaros sets the bar with twenty-five Magento Certified Developers, three Front End Certified Developers and numerous implementations that are bringing in over $400M annually.
Tell us a little about your business and how you became involved with Magento Enterprise Edition.
Optaros is a global digital commerce service partner that helps companies conceive, build and operate commerce solutions to accelerate revenue and decelerate costs. Part creative digital agency, part systems integrator, and part strategic consultancy, Optaros takes a holistic approach to creating exceptional commerce experiences for exceptional brands.
Optaros is 100% focused on digital commerce and the technology ecosystem that supports it. From core eCommerce and mobile to omni-channel and multi-channel experiences, Optaros delivers next generation tools and experiences that enable consumers at every digital touch point.
Optaros became involved with Magento Enterprise Edition in 2008 because it was the best open source eCommerce platform available with the flexibility to customize and integrate with our clients' core systems.
Optaros also built, hosts and supports some of the largest Magento Enterprise Edition powered sites, driving more than 5M visitors a day, 6,000 orders in peak hour and $400M in annual online revenue.
What are the key factors behind your success with Magento?
When speaking with large enterprise companies looking for an eCommerce platform, we are often asked why they should consider Magento Enterprise Edition. The question comes up because there is a common perception that Magento Enterprise Edition is not appropriate for bigger organizations, driven by its roots in enabling smaller businesses as an open source platform. But we have found that the opposite is true. In fact, it's been Magento Enterprise Edition's flexibility and scalability that have made our implementations so successful.
Our clients are typically large enterprises that are looking for a more agile – one that will grow and adopt new features quickly. The Magento team understands that they can only focus on the core platform and truly new capabilities will be driven by others. And our customers agree, seeing Connect as a unique opportunity for the community keep injecting fresh features into the platform. They feel that the this model, coupled with Magento Enterprise Edition's relatively open architecture, will leave them less boxed-in and vendor dependent in the future.
We have found that Magento Enterprise Edition, when set up and customized properly, can scale to support significantly large online businesses, well into the 100s of millions in turnover annually. These sites are also highly available. The Magento team recently announced the launch of 1.13, which incorporates new indexing features originally planned for 2.0. The statistics presented at the conference show the improvements making great strides toward supporting high-volume using the core platform.
When it comes to value, Magento Enterprise Edition leads the way. Compared to many of the other platform options available, Magento Enterprise Edition offers lower acquisition and operating costs. We have customers of all sizes who choose Magento Enterprise Edition because it is cost-effective, built on open source technology and lets them control and customize the look and feel, content, and functionality of their online stores.
Why did you decide to have your developers take the Magento Developer Certification exam?
The majority of our developers have been working with Magneto Enterprise Edition for years – before the Certification exam was even available. So when the opportunity came along, having them take the exam was a natural step for us to get their institutional knowledge recognized. The first developers passed the Magento Developer Plus certification shortly after it was released, then it became "viral" within our office. We organized study groups and we more than twenty people get certified in before the end of the year.
We also got involved in the new Front End Developer Certification Exam and, as part of the Advisory Board, we have been helping the Magento team and the Magento community ensure the certification matches the skills the developer need to implement successfully on the platform.
How many Magento Certified Developers do you current have on staff? How will having these certified developers help your business?
Optaros has one of the largest groups of Magento certified developers, with twenty-five on the scoreboard. As Optaros implements Magento Enterprise Edition for large accounts, we continue to focus on the Developer Plus certification. We are also investing in the Front End Developer certification that was announced at the 2013. We already have three Magento Front End certified developers.
What does this mean for our customers? It means they are guaranteed the highest quality solution, as well as better performance and lower maintenance costs. It's also a proof of our commitment to Magento Enterprise Edition.
What drives you to do what you do?
Optaros is passionate about Digital Commerce, particularly when it comes to helping drive online success for our customers. Whether we're building the best customer experiences imaginable, performing complex integrations or scaling the largest Magento Enterprise Edition implementation, Optaros is passionate about driving commerce success for companies of all types and sizes, from B2C retailers to branded manufacturers to B2B organizations and to multi-level retailers.
In addition to rolling out Magento Enterprise Edition as a single platform across multiple brands and business types, we are also well-versed in customizing Magento Enterprise Edition to support specific business models needs (e.g., multi-tiered marketing) and in scaling Magento Enterprise Edition for high throughput and performance.
Optaros also uses Magento Enterprise Edition when implementing Private Event Retailing (PER) experiences for customers. Whether it's a flash sale site or a loyalty rewards program, Optaros' PER solutions utilize Magento Enterprise Edition as a foundation for digital commerce sites that create a feeling of exclusivity among customers. PER initiatives help retail clients sell off excess inventory and build a new revenue stream while creating a feeling of exclusivity and urgency for customers.

My grandfather purchased a new Oldsmobile every three years for most of his adult life. He was a mechanical engineer and an educated consumer who knew more about cars than most people. He didn't buy an Oldsmobile because it was the best product for the best deal. My grandfather purchased the same brand of car every three years because he purchased it from the same salesman. That salesman knew his business and paid attention to my grandfather. The Olds salesman connected with my grandfather emotionally, and sold him car after car without haggling on price, so, my grandfather, the tech-savvy engineer, was a fiercely loyal Oldsmobile man.
Loyal eCommerce customers cost less to maintain than it costs to acquire a new customer. They have higher average order values and tend to advocate your message to friends. A recent Adobe study, ROI from Marketing to Existing Online Customers, shows that across retail verticals in the US, on average, 8% of online customers are repeat shoppers, and they make up 41% of total revenue.
To gain more repeat buyers and loyal customers, start by understanding what your passions are and where you want your business to go. Then look at your customers and discover what they care about. Understand the emotional benefit your customers receive from your brand. With this, you can turn good customers into fiercely loyal customers. Fiercely loyal customers won't bother looking for somewhere else to shop, and they tend to bring others to your brand. They are loyal with heartfelt, powerful intensity. Achieving this with customers that you can't shake hands with and look in the eye takes planning, honesty and vision, but when done right, can be very efficient and effective.

Meet Key Magento Executives and Industry Leaders
Over the course of our experience, we've found there are generally two types of merchants: those who understand the importance of design and those who will. Site design—which encompasses visual design, user experience, and even content—helps to implicitly and explicitly establish customer trust. It helps define your brand and differentiate it from the competition, and there's no shortage of that. To help merchants get the most out of their Magento Enterprise Edition investment, we've put together a list of some key areas for you to consider when building or upgrading your eCommerce channel.
Custom Interface Design
One of our favorite aspects of Magento Enterprise Edition is the complete control the platform offers in terms of customizing the look and feel of a site. When it comes to the visual look and user interface, the sky's the limit, and this is a major advantage of the platform. Sure, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of prepackaged themes available, but your business and brand are unique. Every aspect of your site design should reflect that. The key is to "conform the website to the content, rather than conforming the content to a predetermined layout," says Bryan Herhold, Front-End Team Lead and certified Magento Developer at Gorilla Group. Take advantage of the flexibility that Magento Enterprise Edition affords, and make your eCommerce channel truly yours.
Design for the Experience
Conversion is the primary goal of any eCommerce business, but there's more than one way to get there. For instance, a multi-channel retailer competing primarily on price and service may be most concerned with design that gets customers to add products to their cart and through checkout as quickly as possible. Whereas, a brand manufacturer may need design that places more importance on demonstrating their product's quality, or building community and brand loyalty, in order to meet their customer's needs and expectations. Finding the right place within this spectrum of experiences influences both primary conversion events (sales) and secondary events (signups, shares, reviews, in-store visits, etc.).

Magento U's On-Demand course "Fundamentals of Magento Development" is a great way to learn development and implementation best-practices on your own schedule. But should you also take the instructor-led version? Absolutely! But…why? What are the benefits of taking the course in person?
To answer that question, we went out and spoke to to some Magento U graduates. Adam Ring, Technical Project Manager at Temple & Webster says, "The Magento U Fundamentals instructor-led course was ideal for Temple & Webster because it allowed us to interact directly with an expert Magento Evangelist. They were able to answer our most complex Magento questions. The Fundamentals course is appropriately in-depth which has helped us enormously by providing us with much greater context to our understanding of the Magento platform. Highly recommended for those serious about the getting the best out of Magento."
Ben Marks, an experienced Magento U instructor, also gave us his perspective in this new video–check it out!

Gartner defines Big Data as, "High volume, high velocity, and/or high variety information assets that require new forms of processing to enable enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization."
Forrester on the other hand, uses a more business-friendly definition: "Big Data is the frontier of a firm's ability to store, process, and access (SPA) all the data it needs to operate effectively, make decisions, reduce risks, and serve customers."
Take the "Big" out of it, and it comes down to understanding how to use all data to meet customer needs and grow your business.
There are three key concepts of a data-driven approach:
1. Results Oriented Execution: This means that you are looking to drive a business outcome, such as growing your revenues by 10%. Before you launch any strategy, you should know what results you want. This will help you understand what data you should be tracking and analyzing, and how it reflects on your strategy's effectiveness.
2. Data Driven Decision Making: This means that you are looking to reduce the trial and error that comes with making decisions on gut-feel and anecdotal information. Instead, you are looking to move to making informed decisions using data.
3. Focus on Actionable Data: This means that you are looking to focus on data that helps you make the decisions you need to achieve the results you aspire.
When viewed in this light, it becomes a lot easier to avoid getting distracted from the hype of Big Data, and instead focus on deriving the maximum value from all data you have access to.
There are a number of ways to get started here. One helpful approach is recognizing that there are different types of data. A useful segmentation is along the depth and breadth of the data available:
• Micro, or "narrow" data, refers to deep transactional, customer or segmentation data.
• Macro, or "broad" data, refers to shallow and wide data such as market data, indices, market trends and more.
Both Micro and Macro data are Big Data, and Magento merchants of all sizes can glean actionable insights from both.
Micro data can reveal greater insights about differences in customer behavior on your store. For example, identifying key segments such as first time buyers, loyal customers, most valuable customers, and measuring their purchase behavior and contribution to revenue, can reveal valuable differences in customer behavior. Armed with these insights, merchants can target segments with appropriate offers and messages. Similarly, conducting A/B testing can provide merchants with insights on messages and strategies that work with their customer base.
Macro data can help add context to your online store performance. For example, comparing sales growth for your store with relevant category trends can help identify opportunities for performance improvement. Similarly, profiling transacting customers along demographic attributes can help merchants identify dominant personas and target their keyword-spend accordingly.
Magento Connect offers a number of extensions that specialize in analyzing both "micro" and "macro" data. Check out Lexity,
These are just a handful of specialized extensions found on the Magento Connect marketplace that offer unique insights with clever analysis of data. With access to the right insights, Magento merchants can start taking advantage of Big Data to compete more effectively.

Based on interviews with five Magento merchants who migrated from other eCommerce solutions, Forrester Consulting created a composite merchant with $40m in annual online sales and analyzed the main costs, revenue lift, and ROI attributable to the Magento platform.
The study concludes, "Overall, we found that Magento Enterprise Edition provided the interviewed merchants with a stable, scalable, flexible platform that contributed to their incremental online revenue growth."
Total Economic Impact
"Magento Enterprise Edition Enables A Scalable eCommerce Platform That Drives Businesses'
For a hypothetical composite merchant with $40 million in online sales that operates both brick-and-mortar stores as well as its eCommerce website, the study found that with the Magento Enterprise Edition Commerce platform the composite merchant experienced the three-year risk-adjusted costs and benefits shown in the below table:*
Revenue Uplift
"The composite merchant experiences an average revenue uplift of 17.3%. Of this, 20% is attributed directly to the Magento platform. We note that the interviewed merchants attributed between 10% and 80% of their revenue uplift to the Magento platform. For the interviewed merchants, revenue uplift was driven by more frequent marketing activities, sales events, and site optimization, which are enabled by Magento's features and scalability."*

Welcome to The New Age: Making The Most of Google's Paid Shopping Feed
Traffic from Google Shopping has been a major source of traffic for the eCommerce industry for over 10 years now. While it's gone by different names like Google Base and requirements have evolved over the years, the basics remained the same: submit accurate data, with product inventory, pricing, and links to images, and the world's largest search engine would send traffic your way.
This all changed in Q3 2012, sending shockwaves and panic through the industry as merchants attempted to grapple with the change amid a busy holiday season. Amazingly, despite all of the advance notice and forum buzz, many merchants were caught unawares and had to adapt quickly, sometimes haphazardly. Now that we have had a full 9-month gestation period to deliver the change, let's revisit the changes to Google Shopping and talk about how to get the most out of the platform!
October 2012: Conception
If you were one of the merchants affected by this change, or you've been interested in getting started with Google Shopping Product Listing Ads (PLA), but weren't sure how to get a good return on your investment, keep reading. Google Shopping's change from a free shopping portal to a paid shopping comparison engine was seemingly inevitable, as Google was one of the last shopping engines to embrace this model, albeit late in the game.
Though Google had been slowly adding more and more paid listing categories and benefits during the first part of 2012, the final cutoff of free traffic didn't come until late 2012.
What Has Google Shopping Delivered?
Here are the big differences:
• All Google Shopping is now paid search. There are no more freebies. Google claims that going the paid route will introduce more accountability to the shopping portal, which for years had been known to feature grossly inaccurate or misleading product listings. "Put your money where your mouth is" sums it up.
• Google PLAs now show up in traditional PPC spots (above organic listings and to the right side), whereas the traditional listings before intermingled with the organic results. This provides a vitrine for your products, rather than being tossed into the open market of organic listings.
• Shopping feeds are now managed both through the Merchant Center and Google AdWords. You feed your products to your Merchant Center account, but the real heavy lifting is done inside AdWords, where you control your bids, promotional text, and ad groups.

Competition Commission challenges Hollywood pacts
Satcaster BSkyB's control over pay TV movie rights in Blighty is restricting competition, leading to higher prices and reduced choice and innovation, the U.K. Competition Commission has provisionally ruled.
The regulator said BSkyB's contracts with the six Hollywood studios are a barrier to entry to potential rivals, including telco BT and cabler Virgin Media.
The commission said the satcaster, which has 10 million subscribers, should be barred from signing exclusive deals with Hollywood for movie rights in the first subscription pay-TV window. It added that these deals should be modified so competitors can buy other rights, including video on demand.
Competition Commission chairman Laura Carstensen said, "Sky has had control of recent movie content on pay TV for many years.
"At the heart of the problem is Sky's strong position in the pay TV market, with twice as many subscribers to pay TV as all other traditional pay TV retailers put together."
This gave BSkyB the advantage in movie rights acquisitions, which rivals could not overcome, she said, adding, "If things stay as they are, we see no likely prospect of change."
Sky Movies director Ian Lewis said, "It makes no sense to think Sky Movies is somehow protected from the forces of competition. Sky has multiple competitors who offer a wide range of movies either before or at the same time as us. Consumers have never benefited from so much choice and innovation.
"We stand by our track record in creating choice and innovation, whether offering movies in HD and 3D, or on-demand to your TV, PC or laptop.
"Ultimately, we know that consumers can choose whether to subscribe, and studios can freely choose whether to deal with us or someone else, so we have to remain focused on delivering choice, value and innovation."
Virgin Media's CEO Neil Berkett said he hoped the findings would transform the market and allow new services to flourish.
A final decision is due in a year's time.

Sullivan East flagpole stolen
BLUFF CITY, TENN. - The Sullivan County Sheriffs office is investigating a very unusual case. Someone stole the flagpole from the Sullivan East softball field.
The aluminum pole once stood just outside the fence at the girls softball field. Sometime after sundown Tuesday night, pole was broken off at the base and hauled away.
Leslie Earhart of the sheriff's office, believes the thieves took the pole so they can sell the aluminum for scrap. "Metal thefts are not uncommon, we have had a variety of things stolen." said Earhart. "Everything from aluminum cans to mailboxes, you name it and if its metal, its been stolen."
Earhart says that local scrap yards have been notified to be on the lookout
for someone selling aluminum. The thieves could face felony charges
if the value of the flagpole exceeds 500 dollars.

The Island sandlot regular season concludes Sunday headlined by Brothers Pastries trying to put the finishing touches on an undefeated T-M Major regular season.
Already one of the most dominant teams ever during their 20-year run in the T-M Major, manager Joe Calabrese's club is enjoying one of its best seasons ever, entering the doubleheader against the NY Dynasty and SI Pirates at 11-0.
During the offseason, Calabrese's club combined with Stafford (formerly Raineri Jewelers) and while many thought the overabundance of talent would make for a bad fit, the club is playing better than ever.
"We have a veteran team that knows how to play the game," said Calabrese, whose club is 11-0-2 record in the Fred Muche League. "The key has been good pitching and plenty of depth. Even if someone is missing, there's no weakness in the lineup. We don't have an easy out in the lineup."
Tom Peterson, who came over from Stafford, and Joe Fiore have done the bulk of the pitching, with occasional help from Joe Baione and Mark Mondi.
Chris DiDonna, who has torn the cover off the ball all season, is at first, veteran Mike Cavallo at second, Greg Collona at short and newcomer Tom Kain at third.
Tom Solitario and Matt Nugent have split the catching, while Baione, Jon Previti and Kevin Heller are in the outfield.
Veteran Kevin Fitzgibbons, still one of the league's most dangerous hitters, and Tom Curry handle the DH spot and Greg Tauriello, Eric Balson, John Desiderio, PJ Giuffre and James Friel round out the squad.
"I always said our best team ever was 2005, with Mark Mondi and Mike Grippo on the hill," said Calabrese. "But, this team is right up there. Maybe a little better with the bats. It's pretty much been a perfect fit."

When Carol Moseley Braun visited Washington, D.C., recently for orientation, the freshman junior Senator from Illinois dropped by the Senate chambers to check out her freshman seat—a position once occupied by Abraham Lincoln's opponent Stephen A. Douglas. "In the days when Douglas sat there, someone like me was considered a nonperson," she says. By someone like her, Braun means, of course, a black woman—a first in the history of the U.S. Senate.
Chroniclers may note that Braun, 45 (who has a son, Matthew, 15, from an earlier marriage to lawyer Michael Braun), fired the first salvo in what might be called the Anita Hill Memorial Revolution of 1992. Harnessing public disgust over Hill's treatment by the white male Senate Judiciary Committee, she won the Democratic primary by beating an incumbent—and Clarence Thomas supporter—who hadn't lost an election in 42 years. And while Braun's November triumph may have been one of the sweetest in what has been called the Year of the Woman (four women newly elected, bringing the Senate's total to six), her victory was composed of large numbers of white votes as well. Which may mean that in the foreseeable future, thanks to Braun, a former Illinois state legislator who grew up on Chicago's South Side, color and gender-based labels will be rendered meaningless.
But that's the future. Some things take a while to change. When Braun went to pick up her new photo ID from the Senate clerk's office, she was handed a card that read SPOUSE. ("Try again," she said politely.) Braun has come a long way. But, baby, has the Senate got a long way to go.

All permanent jobs are advertised through the USAJOBS website. You can search the openings by agency, location, salary range, or by "series" (a system for identifying the type of work). Some positions are only open to current Federal Employees; only the jobs open to everyone will be shown in the search results.
Every year, the Forest Service hires thousands of temporary (mostly summer) employees for a variety of jobs, most of them in the field. Many positions are advertised on the USAJOBS. Hiring season usually begins the first week of January and may last until mid-March, depending on last minute vacancies.
All competitively advertised jobs for the Forest Service will be posted to USAJOBS. Although the Forest Service may publish job opportunities in professional journals, or have jobs posted on organizational websites, the only way applicants can apply is through USAJOBS.

Dear Editor:
I read the article in the Sunday, April 8, paper about the changes to the Consumer Protection Laws and I think some points were missed.
Mr. Barborak talks about the innocent victims, and certainly there are some and they deserve fair compensation, but the changes in the law do not take that away from any legitimate victim.
What this legislative change addresses are the frivolous lawsuits that end up costing all of us more, and cost businesses in expensive insurances to fight these frivolous suits. According to the US Federal News, civil lawsuits cost the US economy over $200 billion per year and every taxpayer in the US is now paying what amounts to a "lawsuit tax" of around $700- $800 per year. Is this money well spent?
Remember the woman who sued McDonald's because her hot coffee was ... well ... hot? Or how about the woman who sued a TV station because they forecast good weather but it ended up raining. She sued claiming the forecast caused her to underdress which caused her to get the flu which caused her to miss a week of work, and then there were the medical expenses, and of course, the stress she endured! Give us all a break! Do any of us really think these were fair lawsuits to protect "innocent" victims, or that these were companies that set out to intentionally harm someone? Having to protect themselves against such frivolous suits means companies pay for more and more insurance and when that cost gets passed along, who do you think ends up paying for the non-sense? Each and every one of us! Personally I believe we all have better things to do with $700 or $800 a year.
Tort reform has been needed for a long time, not to stop legitimate suits with real victims, but for those unscrupulous people who will team up with any shady lawyer willing to file a suit just to try to force businesses to fork over insurance money... and we all pay for that!
No one, including me, has an issue with innocent people who have become victimized getting a fair and just settlement from a company. But I, for one, am happy to know that we won't be paying triple damages or increased prices for goods and services just to cover frivolous suits, or the expenses of those lawyers who promote them. Just because it rains, shouldn't mean the money has to pour ... not out of our pockets.
State Rep. Craig Newbold

[QUOTE=wiltondeportes;1004326]Women....grow up. You just sound like snickering bachelorettes that are riding high while they're young who struggle to find men as they get older. It's pathetic.[/QUOTE]
Amusing assumptions...
I'm certainly not young. Hell, I'm 20 years past that. Nor am I single... been with my husband for 15 years.
I'm happily married, to a happily married and very masculine man...
The kind who is confident and secure in his masculinity so that he doesn't need to yap his head off about silliness such as you are doing... who 100% believes in equality of all people based on individual merits and characteristics not the sexual organs they posses, or their race, etc.
There are men in this world who are small and slight of build and who's best talent is dancing on broadway or giving a great manicure.
There are women who can, I guarantee, both out-think and out physically work many men (including you).
Individual people, individual characteristics, individual merits.
Why the flippant remarks then?
I simply don't see anything you are saying as actually worth addressing with any real seriousness.
I'm not going to change your mind.
You are youthfully entrenched in defending your turf regardless how illogical/ridiculous it is, and will remain willfully ignorant for as long as you please.
Enjoy that. ;)
Maybe someday you'll grow up a bit.
Also, do try to remember that there is likely someone out there that thinks you are 'inferior' for 'logical' reasons too.

play zombies, buy a bowie knife, and go knife only on zombies
that should help your knifing skills
Hey, my name is Rune, and i am a knifer but lately i have not been doing so well, i mean i just started knifing but i started off good, but then later on it went bad so i thought i should change my sight dot but it got me nowhere, someone please help me!
play zombies, buy a bowie knife, and go knife only on zombies
that should help your knifing skills
Knifing zombies will do nothing for you.
If you want to learn and fast play gun game BUT knife only and do not use your gun.
I do that to piss people off "knifing" them for that sweet humiliation
but I can tell you this...that knifing HELPED ME a lot in TDM, Demo, SnD
NNID: hybrid_x1
EDIT: ^^^ Don't you try to Ninja me, J. -.-
Some general tips for Ballistic aiming is if you KNOW your target is moving in a certain direction, aim ahead a certain amount depending on your distance away, height differential, etc. Stuff you have to learn by experience, really.
Anywho, for a knife-dedicated class, ever heard of OnlyUseMeBlade on youtube? He commentates matches with, you guessed it: knife only. I know he definatly did MW2, unsure of Black Ops, but listening to his strategy and the like from a few videos will definatly give you some tips. Knife only still works, it's just more difficult now that you can't be a cheap douche with commando.
Also, as a general rule for knifing, learn every map's layout to the point you can move about it without thinking, and know exactly where you're going without a moment's hesitation. More importantly, try to dash about the map's out edges too, running in open and highly-trafficed choke points with a knife is bringing a blade to a gun fight; stupid and won't get you anywhere. Gotta make like a Ninja and take people out one by one, without drawing attention.
And on that note, I've gotta say I havn't played CoD since MW2, I've just watched plenty of videos of in on youtube, and that's my interpretation to strategy for knife-only, lol. I could be dead-on right, or completely wrong! xD And regardless of what I said working, it never will without skill and practice. So, yeah. Practice makes perfect.
Dude ballistic and regular knife is the same thing only difference is you get to shoot
mini knife things.
Now if someone is shooting at you and you run at them to knife
best thing to do is obviously take cover until they reload
at that point run out and KNIFE
OR you can run around the enemies fire and KNIFE. Trust me
'just do Gun Game and knife ONLY it will so help you out.
NNID: hybrid_x1
I blame it on that Magicarp!!
and not necessarily ballistic knife pro but over all knifer pro because of Gun Game.
Ah man my best record is 0 Gun kills && 48 Stabs on Gun Game.
I made so many people rage on me via mic that time LOL

Ubisoft has revealed the first details on Child of Light, a small downloadable project currently in development at Ubisoft Montreal.
Developed on Rayman Origins' UbiArt Framework engine and led by Far Cry 3's creative director Patrick Plourde, Child of Light is described as a side-scrolling "fairytale game" that captures the "Squaresoft spirit" of PSOne JRPGs Final Fantasy VIII and Vagrant Story.
Plourde discussed the title at GDC Europe this morning, saying that he created Child of Light as a "counter-point" to the "masculine" Far Cry 3, and that he collected a range of art and music for inspiration on the project, citing Studio Ghibli artist Hayao Miyazaki and Yoshitaka Amano as being "really inspiring".
Illustrations from Disney's Snow White and early 20th century children's books are also said to have inspired the project.
Plourde says that he sees Child of Light as "a playable poem", describing it as Limbo meets Final Fantasy VI.
Platforms have yet to be confirmed, but Plourde believes the game is a "potential next-gen IP". The title will not launch on mobile platforms.
Child of Light releases in winter 2013.

A recent "point-in-time" count of homelessness in the county shows 19 people are living in an unsheltered environment.
Of the total, three were identified as children under the age of 18.
The report will be filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help determine funding for local agencies that serve the homeless community.
The count is done over a 24-hour period and completed twice a year - in January and July.
"It's just so you can get a snapshot of one day in Lycoming County," said Adrienne Wertz, county United Way director of funds distribution and community building.
An unsheltered environment is defined as a location that is unfit for human habitation, such as sleeping in a car, park or tent.
Homeless people living in shelters were not included in the report, as they are deemed "sheltered."
Wertz headed the count and was joined by volunteers from local agencies in collecting data.
She said the number counted during the period was "low" for what they expect the actual number is. However, she said, there is no way of finding every individual who is living in such conditions because they're constantly moving and finding new places to occupy.
The time of year also hindered fact collecting, as the colder weather made it difficult to speak with people who do not have shelter.
Soup kitchens and hospitals provided information.
"You literally have to go out on foot or you wouldn't get an accurate count," Wertz said.
An interview form gathered information about each individual's situation. There also was an option for volunteers to complete a form without an interview.
Wertz said the group knows there are more unsheltered people in the county just by looking at the numbers on shelters' waiting lists.
"The shelters are well aware of the problems, but this helps them when they're preparing to ask for funding," she said.
Wertz hopes more area residents will volunteer in July's count so the agency can report a more accurate number. Training will be provided for volunteers.
"This is really helping the agencies that we help throughout the year," she said.

Nice. Weren't you heading back again sometime soon?
Take care!
From where I live. This area is about the nicest and closest. I wouldn't touch the Gulf of Thailand above Ko Samet. Nice in Jantaburi.

But since I do get over there a few times a year. Do send it sometime. I even promise not to tell Lonely Planet, which thankfully doesn't have a high opinion of the place except as an emergency stop over on the way to the Cambo border via Trat and Had Lek.
(Where I have also spent a few days. But that is another story.)
I went there to look at the EP programs. Not bad. The pay was 30k in each. Nice well behaved kids. Good staff. Lots of cheap fruit and vegetables. A Robinson' s department store.
Houses with a few bedrooms in the burbs for about 5-6k. Seemed like an OK life especially if you what to be closer to nature.
One real ass kicking club across from the lake and it rocked.

Girls just wanna have fun!
Hilary Duff stepped out on Saturday night to celebrate the launch of shower accessory Raindrops at Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood.
"She was just really happy to have a girls night out," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "She walked in laughing and was joking around the whole time."
Staying close with her girlfriends the whole night, the new mom was upbeat, listening to a mix of '90s and current pop hits.
Also in attendance: Project X's Alexis Knapp, Dallas star Josh Henderson and singer Leona Lewis, who was spotted dancing to the older jams with her friends.

Taking a break from daddy and mommy duty, James and Kimberly Van Der Beek headed out to West Hollywood on Tuesday night to check out a special V.I.P. night at L.A.'s newest nightclub, Bootsy Bellows.
The lovey-dovey duo popped into the venue with a few male pals, and the group was immediately escorted to a private area in the back that was accessible to people with wristbands only.
"They had a table to themselves complete with alcoholic beverages and mixers," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "The group seemed really close-knit and comfortable with each other. At the beginning of the night, James and Kimberly were sitting next to each other, but as it went on, James scooted over to talk to his guy friends and Kimberly seemed to blend in perfectly with the rest of the group."
Of the happily married pair, the source says they "didn't really show any PDA," but they just "seemed really cozy and happy to be together."
At one point, a woman walked around carrying a bag of candy and light-up plastic rings, and Kimberly went for a sweet treat.
"She took a long gummy worm and started eating it," says the observer. "She made it look very yummy."
The new spot, co-owned by David Arquette – who was also on hand that night, dressed dapper in a suit – opens to the public on June 29.

Letters to the editor: Firefighters taken for granted
I was watching a television show about firefighters, and it got me thinking about what they do and how we take them for granted.
They are the guys who run into that burning building when everyone else is running out. They put their lives on the line, never thinking about the danger ahead. I have been lucky to know a few firemen -- Bobby O'Hara since high school, and Butch Wetherbee, both of whom have passed, and a new generation of firefighters, including Jim Coleman, a friend of my son.
We are forever in your debt.

Mentoring programs
generate pride
As chief executive of Family Services Northwestern Pennsylvania, I have had the opportunity to meet many of the committed volunteers who work with children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program. I am proud to say that we at Family Services are able to provide the No. 1 mentoring program in the United States.
At the annual volunteer appreciation dinner, Big Brothers Big Sisters honored longtime mentor Mark Howell for more than five years of dedication to his match. His little brother stated: "Mark has been more than a big brother to me; he's been technically the father figure that I never had in my life. He's always been there for me through thick and thin, good and bad, no matter what; he is always there for me. Mark helped me graduate from high school. He was my support to finish."
Big Brothers Big Sisters carefully pairs volunteer mentors, who are trained and professionally supported, with children who face adversity. Local data indicates that 96 percent of the children improve or maintain their grades and 93 percent avoid delinquency.
In Erie, 165 children are matched, but more than 100 children remain on the waiting list. Big Brothers Big Sisters faces continued challenges including funding and lack of volunteer mentors. The program is particularly in need of male mentors. Giving of oneself is pivotal to being a mature, healthy adult. Please consider becoming a mentor and help shape today's children into tomorrow's healthy adults. Volunteer today.

Hardware stores
earn praise
I'm writing to express thanks to two True Value Hardware Stores in our area. What a pleasure to deal with knowledgeable people who aren't out there with the "just replace it" mission.
First, I'd like to thank Peter at Ferrier's True Value Hardware. It was well worth the trip from Harborcreek to deal out there on West 26th Street. Every other store we called wanted to send out a technician. No one could help you without a service call minimum of $90, plus parts and labor. Peter at Ferrier's worked right with my husband over the phone and was able to determine which part on our fireplace was faulty. God bless this man for taking the time and saving me money.
Second, thank you, Jim at Fairview True Value, for all your help when I, in the fall and beginning of winter, got numerous bags of bird food for the winter for all of my fine feathered friends. His help and compassion helped me save to be able to feed the birds for a very long and cold winter.
My wish would be for a True Value to move to Harborcreek that has staff like Peter and Jim. Again, guys, thank you. And if I could, I'd put you both in for a raise. You deserve it.

Mercyhurst Prep
swimmers classy
I wish to recognize and thank the Mercyhurst Preparatory School swim team and coaches for one of the classiest gestures I have ever witnessed as a sports fan.
On Feb. 4, Mercyhurst hosted McDowell High School for a dual meet. Competition was fierce and spirited, but it took a back seat to an amazing display of sportsmanship. On Senior Night, after honoring their swimmers, the team called over McDowell's seniors, presented each swimmer a flower, shook their hands and invited them to take a joint photo.
The joy on the faces of Mercyhurst and McDowell seniors is a vision I will never forget. This is in sharp contrast to an incident five days prior at McDowell. That night, a chorus of boos repeatedly rained down upon the diving judges from the "cheering section" of the visiting school. This came from an institution that claims to develop people of vision in spirit, mind, and body. It was petty and classless and speaks of a culture utterly devoid of integrity. But this letter is not about that.
This night belongs to you, Mercyhurst Prep swimmers. Your program is building young people of integrity, wisdom and purpose. I am an avid and unabashed supporter of McDowell, but what you did on a snowy February night created a new legion of fans in the students and parents of McDowell swimming. You exemplify the highest ideals not only of high school sports, but of what we need so desperately in life. Simply put, you are class.

Women's Club
event terrific
On Feb. 1, my husband, granddaughter and I enjoyed a wonderful evening provided by the Woman's Club of Erie: a re-creation of a meal on the Titanic.
Though I do not belong to this group, it appears that the membership is small. These imaginative, hardworking, dedicated ladies have a central goal to preserve a magnificent West Sixth Street mansion, a daunting task by any standards. Topping the list is a new roof.
Guests were encouraged to dress in period, and there were many beautiful examples. One member was charged with providing each attendee with the identity of an actual passenger: a place tag, brief history and fate. The meal was dual: lower level and upper level, a feat I cannot perceive. Everyone was served both by well-mannered, well-groomed Gannon University students. A speaker provided history throughout the evening.
Hats off to these valuable members of our community. At twice the price they still couldn't have charged enough. Thank you, Woman's Club of Erie.

Gates makes
great impression
Meeting former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates recently was a very wonderful and grateful experience at his book signing on his alumni campus at the College of William and Mary, America's second oldest college.
Incredible. Tears and humility marked this weekend. I traveled 10 hours to see this great man in person, and it was well worth it. In returning, both my father and I have his autograph signed within his new book titled "Duty."
Gates is an honest, down-to-earth person who makes several hundred in his audience at ease by his level perspectives on government and his passion to serve among numerous of his bosses he specified as jerks. Amazing.
I met Gates, and I was honored to give him a token of appreciation for his service to our great nation, which was an original art painting I created especially for him.
I highly recommend anyone seeking life's true perspective to seek him out and listen for advice from an incredible, humble, wise humanitarian.

use criticized
In the 50 years since the U.S. Surgeon General's report on smoking was issued, many Americans have decided not to start smoking, and many others have successfully completed the difficult task of quitting.
As a result, countless Americans have been spared unnecessary illnesses or premature death. With that in mind, does it make sense to legalize and encourage the use of marijuana, a substance that, like tobacco, is harmful to the lungs and is psychologically addictive, sometimes leading to the use of even more harmful substances?
At a time when an changing and dangerous world requires a citizenry whose minds are functioning at full capacity, does it make sense to legalize, even glorify, the use of a drug that in the words of Charles Krauthammer makes you stupid while convincing you that you are smart?
The makers of prescription drugs are required to list the side effects of their products even if testing reveals that only a tiny percentage of people are prone to that side effect. Why are the marijuana advocates not subject to the same regulations?
The problems of the world will not be solved by those whose overriding ambition in life is to get high. Nor will they be solved by the adherents of the cop-out, deviant philosophy so prevalent in the United States today.

GOP needs
to be voted out
Many in Congress tried to hold the nation hostage before finally agreeing to raise the debt ceiling on Tuesday.
Never in the history of this country has there been the case of a small fringe group of people being able to force their will on the American people. I have lost track of how many times they've tried to close this country down. Their obstruction of President Barack Obama has been to the total detriment of the American people.
Even when Obama took office in 2008, while this country was in a financial nose dive created by the previous president, they refused to help him create jobs, build infrastructure, advance the rail system, and get Americans back to work.
Women continue to carry the greatest burden of inequality in this country. Two-thirds of minimum-wage earners are single women with children. Women make 77 cents for every $1 that a man makes. The minimum wage needs to be increased in this country. At $7.25 an hour, it's not enough to maintain a household, let alone put gas in the car to drive to the job.
So what is the GOP's answer to this? Cut food stamps. The slackers can always work another minimum wage job to get by. Pathetic.
When 20 small children and their teachers were slaughtered at Sandy Hook, Americans by a margin exceeding 90 percent wanted stricter gun laws and background checks, and again they said no. The National Rifle Association lobbyists saw to that. How many more children have to die before these laws are enacted?
And then, in December, came the extension of unemployment insurance for 1.3 million Americans, and the GOP again said no.
When is this going to end? When are Americans going to say enough, and take back this country from the Koch brothers, big oil and lobbyists for large corporations. The American people don't have lobbyists, we don't have the money, but we do have the vote.
The midterm elections are coming up. If you weren't planning on voting, please reconsider because this is how we got in this mess.

Referendum on RTV Slovenia, Part Three: Mad As Hell
Third and last instalment. For parts One and Two click here and here respectively
Mad As Hell scene from The Network
So, the referendum on the new law on RTV Slovenia is on in four… no… three days. The opposition (SDS, SLS and SNS) is opposing the law and is encouraging people to vote "no". The same goes for Andrej Magajna MP (formerly of ruling Social Democrats, now independent) whose support was instrumental in this referendum becoming a reality. The coalition is, naturally, encouraging people to vote "yes" and this includes – although he was apparently very reluctant about it – Karl Erjavec of DeSUS.
Even though the campaign was lacklustre in the extreme, it did pick up in the past few days, with especially the "yes" camp gaining quite a few professional endorsements, most notably by journalists of RTVSLO itself, as well as journalists of Delo, the largest Slovenian daily. These were not "all-out" endorsements, but statements that the law, should it be confirmed on Sunday, will indeed establish grounds for RTVSLO to perform its public service better, with less political involvement.
This, basically, is the reason pengovsky will support the law as well. As things stands now, RTVSLO is saturated with political interest. both left and right. This is a natural consequence of the perpetual tug-of-war in this particular institution and which the existing law (passed under Janša government) only expanded further and made, well, legal. But since every action provokes equal but opposite reaction, the ball was starting to swing the other way. This is why this law is important. Ridiculous as it may sound, it just may prevent the whole vicious circle to start all over, mostly by limiting political influence over RTVSLO. Given this (and a bit of time) we just may end up with something resembling a public service television.
This country needs public RTVSLO. It needs a standard bearer, an institution where talent is fostered, nurtured and properly employed. Where ratings are not the only game in town, but come as a result of quality news and other programming. Where news is more than just about crime, disasters and talk shows which make Jerry Springer (remember him?) seem appropriate. Yes, the above is part of life and world around us. But it's not all about that. I don't have to tell you things are bad…
…Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be…
…That's not the way it's suppose to be. People are mad, yes. Mad as hell. But TV (especially public TV) is suppose to inform and not simply instil fear and loathing to pump up ratings. If the law is confirmed, common sense and quality media have a fighting chance. Nothing more, nothing less. If the law is defeated, then… well…
