HIPFIRE NERFED!!! :D Thanks ND and community!!! :)[ Edited ]
We did it!
To celebrate here is a patch appreciation video from Psyshock where he defeats all those annoying hipfire freaks
Original thread:
hipfire is used by noobs as well as experienced players, most people here on the forums hate it, because the tactic dominates the game. Naughty Dog stated before that hipfire is effective because they want to give new players a mechanic that is easy to use so that they can get kills too. In this thread, I shall try to explain in my crappy English, why hipfire should be nerfed.
The learning curve:
in every game the player should get better after getting more experienced, but in Uncharted that's not the case. Instead of getting more skilled, the players rely on cheap tactics to get kills. This is how that learning curve goes in Uncharted:
- punch twice
- hipfire
- hipfire a while and then finish of with a punch
- hipfire while zig-zagging and finish it of with a punch
- hipfire just enough bullets while zig-zagging and then do a wack and roll because if the hipfire didn't do enough damage, you should avoid a punch of the opponent
This is not how it should be!
How should it be then? Well, I agree with Naughty Dog that new players should have an easy tool to get kills once in a while, but the tool they gave them (hipfire) is so powerful that it has become the best tactic of the game. So hipfire needs a (huge) nerf if you ask me. What nerf I mean comes later, but the result of the nerf should be this:
- hipfire is useful in close combat situations when the player flanks the opponent. If the opponent is shooting at the player by aiming at him, then hipfire should not win. Also hipfire should be a usefull tactic if 2 players accidently run into each other, then hipfire should be a good tactic to use, aiming that close is obviously not a good solution. However the opponent should have the option to avoid the close combat situation by rolling away and then starts aiming at the opponent, then it should depend on how well he aims if he should win or the player that uses hipfire.
The solution:
hipfire should not be auto-lock-on, instead the player should hipfire in the direction he or she is running (not where the camera is facing, because that wouldn't solve the zig-zagging issue!). This way noobs can still get kills by flanking opponents, but the zig-zagging towards an aiming opponent doesn't work anymore, so to get better in the game, you still need to learn how to aim, because you can't always flank your opponents, and if they spot you, you're screwed. Also (but this is extra) I think the wack and roll tactic should be removed, because it is heavily used in combination with hipfire and very effective. Also (this is extra too, but I do think it's very important) a punch should never work if an opponent is rolling, even not when he is damaged because when a player uses hipfire on his opponent and then punches, the opponent still dies even if he does a roll to get out of that close combat situation, and that is not fair, the opponent must have a chanche to stil win the fight. Like I said earlier: hipfire should be a usefull tactic when flanking opponents, but it shouldn't be used to opponents who have you in your sights. This way noobs can get kills once in a while, and the experienced players actually have to learn how to aim, because else they will be in a disadvantage to other experienced players.
This results in the following learning curve:
- punch twice
- explore the maps and try to flank opponents and use hipfire to kill them
- flank opponents and aim from a small distance to get the kill
- learn to kill opponents head-on by using cover
- learn to kill opponents head on by using cover effectively and by strafing
- when flanking learn to make stealth kills, and when fighting head-on, choose wisely between using cover or strafing
In this learning curve, hipfire slowly disappears out of the list of skills, it has become a tool for inexperienced players and it isn't the best tactic in the game anymore, so everyone is happy, the noob gets actually better in the game and has fun while doing it, and the experienced player needs to work on their skills to take on other experienced players, problem solved.
Summary: hipfire should be nerfed by removing the auto-lock-on completely, players should hipfire in the direction they are running, this way hipfire is usefull for flanking opponents, but not for attacking them head-on. When getting more experienced, the player will stop using hipfire but instead try to make stealthkills when flanking (he gets rewarded for that with medals), and using cover and strafing when attacking head-on. The inexperienced player still has a tool to get kills, and will slowly gain skills while having fun all the time, they don't get crushed by experienced players all the time. All are happy.
Final words: I would appreciate it if people post here so this thread keeps alive for a long time, because I hope Naughty Dog will read it, and adjust their opinion on hipfire. I know there are a lot of hipfire threads, but none of them is directing to Naughty Dog or has a fully typed out opinion why hipfire should be nerfed. So I thought I had to make this, I'm not begging for kudos or something, speaking of which, you don't have to give them to me because it doesn't solve the hipfire issue, just keep posting, that's all I'm asking!
and to Naughty Dog: please do something about it, almost everyone here hates it and it dominates the game, I tried to explain above why, and it seems pretty obvious to me that hipfire isn't like you meant it to be, do something!
In last Q and A Eric answered a question about hipfire with a question about what we thought is broken about hipfire, so I decided to message him, under this is the message and the reply of Eric:

Hi Eric,
you answered a question from someone about hipfire with a question about what actually is broken about it, I recently created a thread about it (it has over 50 kudoes so I think it's save to say that a lot of people agree) in which I explain why there has to be a change to hipfire, I understand that you are probably busy and don't have time to read such a wall of text, so in case you haven't I will give you a very short explanation of it, but I hope you will read that wall of text:
- You asked in your question what the poster of the question actually found broken of the hipfire, well the answer to that is that hipfire isn't really broken, it's overpowered, hipfire is way more usefull than aiming, with almost every weapon, but preferably the m9, para9 and obviously kal-7. I think that the cause of that is that hipfire is far to accurate, and works from a small distance too. Of course aiming is more accurate then hipfire, but hipfire comes with zig-zagging, the players run all zig-zagging towards you, making it very hard to aim at them, therefore the accuracy of aiming is lower, while the accuracy of blindfire stays the same. As an aimer you can strafe all you want but it has no use to hipfire. Also hipfire comes with another trick: the wack-and-roll, it's a popular name for punching and rolling immediately after that, to prevent receiving damage from a punch from the other player, it's a very cheap tactic to use. So hipfire and the wack-and-roll combined are a very effective tactic, players just run op to you using hipfire while zig-zagging and when they reach you they punch you and immediately roll so they avoid getting punched back, no matter how well you aim, aiming against this will hardly succeed.
- You thought that hipfire is balanced it is the way it is and that all players can use hipfire fairly against each other, but the problem is not hipfire against hipfire, if someone hipfires at me, of course I have the opportunity to just hipfire back, but that's not what I and many other people want, because it is not fun to do, and that is what this game should be all about, but the truth is that every match all players just run up to each other and hipfire each other, the ones who knows the cheap tactics better wins, it has nothing to do with skill.
- Hipfire should be a tool for newcomers to get a kill once in a while, but instead it dominates the game, hipfire should only be usefull when you flank an opponent and want to take him/her out at close range, it should never be succesful when facing an opponent that is trying to aim at you (when that opponent is at least a decent player), there are many ways to solve this, for instance that you only hipfire in the direction you are running, hipfire has an auto-lock-on system of some sorts, that should be removed. An other solution is to increase stopping power when aiming significantly. And another solution might be to make the bullet spread a lot bigger, so that not all bullets hit the opponent when hipfiring. Anyway I don't really care how it gets solved, as long as it doesn't dominate the game anymore. So hipfire needs a nerf along with the wack-and roll tactic that needs to be removed, it makes no sense to punch someone, but cancel the animation by rolling and then the opponent gets punched by nothing, that's weird and unfair, I would call it a glitch, but the opinions on that subject are different. But not on the hipfire subject, a lot of people want really to be done something about it.
I really hope that you do something about it in future patches, I think you're doing great so far and support the game with all the resources and time you have, you are truly my favorite developer and the best one out there, and I hope that it stays that way. Under this is the link to the thread about hipfire, I hope you or someone else at the team gives it a look and talks about it with the others, because it really is worth doing something about it. Hopefully this answered your question and I appreciate an answer (a short answer is fine, I just want to know if you gave it a read), besides, you owe us one, because you answered a question with a question, I answered that question, so you answer mine to bring it back to 10 questions in a month, ok?
Sincerely, a fan named Matthijs
Thanks for the note Matthijs. We don't have any plan to tweak hipfire. Sorry I know that's not what you want to hear but that's how we are approaching this design matter. It's not a widespread problem.
While I appreciate a response from Eric, I am obviously dissapointed with his answer, personally I think Naughty Dog doesn't want to do anything about the subject because it's a large change to how the game is played, and it's a risk to make that sort of a change this late since release of the game. I have much respect for Naughty Dog and Eric too, but if he's saying that hipfire isn't a widespread problem, then he really is avoiding the subject, because there have been a dozen of threads about this recently, and all get an insane amount of kudoes. Also he can just play the game himself and at the first match he will experience the problem.
So I guess the only thing we can do is let Naughty Dog know that this is indeed a widespread problem, just in case they really don't know how their game is played, but I doubt that, I think they are just avoiding the subject, I can understand that, but at least I hope they learn a lesson out of it in case they make another Uncharted game (probably for PS4 then), because this skillless crap really have to be taken out the game...
Ok, as many of you know, Steven here is a big defender of hipfire, he thinks it requires skill and is a legit tactic to use in this game, I on the other hand (and many other people here) hate hipfire and think it is a cheap tactic, so we decided to defend our opinions, we would play against each other, I would use his 'style of play', hipfiring and whack and rolling, while he was trying to kill me with aiming and grenades, I never hipfire and he never aims, so if hipfire took any skill at all, then I would fail in defeating him I suppose, so the first match we played, here are the facts:
(take note that Steven and I are the same level and legacy, and have about the same kdr, so the only thing that matters is the aiming and the hipfire)
Chateau, I won the match with 17 - 10, kickbacks were off, but I forgot to put power plays off, so I got 3 power plays against me, so if you would have seen the match it is obvious that I would have an even better result, Steven used stat hats while I didn't bother using them too...
here are some interesting highlights of hipfire kills, it's insane how easy it is to use, remember that I never play like this:
The second match Steven wanted me not to use the m9 or para9 (of course...), but I had to use the kal-7 and micro instead, so I did, we played in the Facility this time, I wanted a variety of maps, Chateau is probably the worst map for aimers, but the facility is very open and you can spot your opponent from far away, but I won the match with 22 - 16, power plays were disabled, but I could not use the weapons I wanted and Steven forgot sometimes how he had to play during these matches, and the map is less hipfire friendly, but at least I still won...
Here is a video where I chase him all over the map:
And then finally we played in the Highrise, a very diverse map, Steven decided to camp in the open spaces a bit which made it a little more diffucult for me, but I still won with 21 - 14, I just decided to use the ak47, it wasn't as good as the m9, but as the first clip below shows it's very accurate from a distance, and the second clip is really weird stuff too, especially the para9 part of it in the middle, but also ending:
If you (for whatever reason) want to see the full matches, I can send the cinema file to you, but I can't upload the whole match on youtube, I don't know how and I am not in any mood to figure it out, deal with that!
So, there you have it, someone can win easily from someone else using nothing but holding r1 and occasionally whack and roll glitch, hipfire is a widespread problem, the whack and roll glitch is partly responsible for that, both problems need a fix, Naughty Dog if you happen to read this, and you still don't take me seriously, what more evidence must I provide to make you believe that this **bleep** has to go?
Note: Steven is a fair player, he did not ragequit and tried to play as we agreed on, he's a cool guy, it's only a little sad that he has such a **bleep**ed up opinion, but let it be clear that this thread is not to have a laugh at Steven, I want this hipfire stuff fixed, I respect Stevens opinion!
well, we are making progress: (q and a april edition thread)
1- Question: Can you please nerf hipfire and remove the whack and roll glitch in this game, isn't 140+ kudo's enough to make you realise that this really should happen, I know it's probably too late now because you ignored it for so long, so if the answer is no, can you please say that you will look into it for future Naughty Dog titles with competitive multiplayer?" - Matthijs_17
A: Due to game mechanics and animation – the whack and roll is a legitimate strategy that we accounted for when wrapping up game balance and MP development. As for hipfire, we appreciate you rallying support around this topic. It is something we will need some time to look at as it's not a quick fix. To address anything with hipfire we'd need to tweak hipfire for every weapon in the game so proper balance occurs again. It will take some time and likely will be something we'll have to look more closely at for future projects. However, it's on the list of things we'd like to address time and resource permitting
at least they finally realised something is wrong, sadly they don't agree with the whack and roll being a glitch, I hope that is just a misunderstanding because if they really think canceling a punch and basically doing damage by rolling in close proximity to an opponent is a legitimate strategy then I don't think crap is going to be fixed any time soon, a well, at least we must be happy with hipfire getting a fix, or at least it will be taken better care of in their next game (Uncharted 4!!! )

Saw title, didn't read, kudo'd.
Re: All things blindfire! why it should get nerfed - Naughty Dog, please read this ;)
I would have taken these blindfire nerfs seriously except that evertime something is nerfed, you people would come up with more things to nerf. First it was blindfire. then Fal-ss, G-mal, M9 ROF and back to blindfire. Don't get me wrong I don't give a **bleep** whether it's nerfed or not but this community seems to complain about anything that is slightly overused.

That's what it seems to be like with these people. Truth be told, you can never make a balanced game. It just doesn't happen.

blindfire isn't slightly overused, it's massively overused...

sadly it doesn't stay alive, I'm not so good at this, maybe I should change the title, or put the number of kudos in it, or placing stars at the edges (although I have no idea how), it worked in other popular threads, it made Naughty Dog create classic mode, any tips from fakehound to keep this thread about blindfire alive would be really appreciated right now xD

I'd like to open a discussion on using just this system to raise queens. I understand that grafting may well be a 'superior' way to go about raising queens - BUT in this thread, I'd like to focus on getting this particular method to work.
Since we've had a fairly recent discussion about this "system" and various folk's success or lack of success using it, I'll jump directly into it:
I thought I'd try One-More-Time this coming Spring to see if I can get it to work. What I specifically want to try different this next time, is to use the method where the cell raising colony is the same one that was used to initially lay the eggs. In the past, I have found a website that described how to go about "splitting" the mother colony (however, you didn't physically do a split) and in some fashion making it queenless so they would raise the new queen cells. But since a literal split wasn't done, it was easy to reunite the colony after the new queen cells are drawn out. I recall that the website was from England - and obviously, can't find it now (should have bookmarked it!).
Does anyone know of or use this technique (or can describe it again)?

The most authoritative speaker was Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a national group focused on fiscal responsibility that was created 20 years ago by former New Hampshire GOP Sen. Warren Rudman.
Bixby called the debt a moral issue, and said it's not a matter of ideology, but economics. The culprits? The aging of America, in part.
"We can't grow our way out of it. That's really the bottom line," he said, stressing that "We have to put everything on the table."

We had a very nice stay at michals appartment. Michal was very kind and courteous. We had everything that we needed, and a parking spot. Thanks michal.
It was really nice and charm stay in Prague. The attic appartment is cozy and suitable for short stays. Close to most interesting and historical places in Prague. Michal is very friendy host. He gave us many practicall informations about surroudings of appartment and advices what and how to explore Prague. We will comeback there soon!:)
Michal is really nice, helpful and duteous renter! The apartment is very nice, clean, quiet and comfortable. A lot of bars (like the Beer Museum of Prag) and really good restaurants are closed by.
The center is not far away (10min to walk to Muzeum, 5 min with the tube)
We would certainly come back! Thanks Michal!
Very nice apartment. Quiet and comfortable. A lot of pubs, bars and restaurants close by. We would certainly come back
Quiet residential area with many nice restaurants and pubs nearby - Metro and tram stations are just minutes away, as well as walk you in about 15 minutes in the center or at the station. The organization Wimdu and understanding with the landlord have worked out well.
Ruhige Wohngegend mit vielen netten Restaurants und Gaststätten in der Nähe - Metro- und Tramstation sind nur wenige Minuten entfernt, aber auch zu Fuß ist man in ca. 15 Minuten mitten im Zentrum oder am Bahnhof. Die Organisation über Wimdu und die Verständigung mit dem Vermieter haben gut geklappt.
Very central, the apartment is equipped bright and beautiful with the most.
Michal was very nice despite communication problems.
Gladly again
Sehr zentral, die Wohnung ist schön hell und mit dem nötigsten ausgestattet.
Michal war trotz Verständigungsprobleme sehr nett.
Gerne wieder
Loved staying in the attic apartment in Prague. Walking distance to the major sights and plenty of good restaurants and bars, but also very handy to the metro rail system. The apartment had everything we needed and more. A great place to be.
Had very pleasant stay in a great location! Very close to the center (walking distance, within 10 to 15 min to Wenceslas Square) and otherwise close to the apartment an excellent metro connection. The apartment is well maintained, neat and complete. Also nearby Pleasant, quiet and safe. Furthermore Michal good host, friendly and helpful (but not pushy!). Definitely a host / apartment where we would be on your next visit to Prague! Return to
Ontzettend fijn verblijf gehad op een geweldige locatie! Heel dichtbij het centrum (loopafstand, binnen 10 á 15 min. op Wenceslasplein) en anders dichtbij het appartement een prima metroverbinding. Het appartement is keurig verzorgd, netjes en compleet. Prettige buurt ook, rustig en veilig. Verder is Michal een goede host, vriendelijk en behulpzaam (maar niet opdringerig!). Zeer zeker een host/appartement waar we bij terug zouden komen bij een volgend bezoek aan Praag!

Brooklyn homicide detective Vito Friscia was hurtled by fate into an extraordinary challenge during the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attacks. Heroism, however, comes with a price - emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Inspired by the courage and selflessness of her brother-in-law Friscia, director Maria Pusateri explores how his life has been dramatically altered and refocused following his daunting experiences with the disaster and recovery work. The film interweaves interviews, recollections and verite scenes from his life during the two years following the disaster.
Detective Friscia, was only a block away rushing to help in the rescue efforts, when the second tower collapsed and engulfed him in the treacherous cloud of debris. In the chaotic aftermath, he helped thousands leave the city and worked tirelessly sifting through toxic rubble, first at Ground Zero and then for seven months at the Staten Island Landfill. Having suffered the loss of friends and strangers, enduring both emotional trauma and respiratory illness, Vito finds that his life has taken on new meaning.
In addition to the support of his family and friends, a personal and vital "therapy" also helped Detective Friscia overcome his emotional trauma. As a dedicated coach, he's been guiding his daughter's team for the past eight years and considers the group of 11-year-olds all "his daughters." He credits their special relationship with preventing him from sinking into a deep depression.
After initially suffering months of respiratory and sinus infections during his recovery work, he continued to have lingering symptoms. Friscia would find himself short of breath when exercising, frequently had sinus ailments with congestion and cough, was often clearing his throat, and his voice was hoarse and never seemed to go back to normal. Although not ill enough to prevent him from working, he still is not as healthy as he once was prior to his exposures. Frustrated by his unwillingness to follow up on his own, Pusateri and his family try to convince him to get a full medical evaluation.
In the beginning of the film, a poignant gathering with his detective brothers shows their way of dealing with the horrific tragedy, as they recall their experiences with comedic release. It is later revealed that not only have many cops been suffering from respiratory problems, but also several, in their 30s, had been stricken down before their time from sudden heart attacks.
After suffering and shrugging off symptoms for more than two years, he finally gets a full medical screening. Having his sister-in-law following him around with a camera is sometimes awkward for the homicide detective, but he is someone we want to get to know. Eventually, Vito learns that even the doctors don't have all the answers. Though his health is compromised and there remains a possibility of more serious disease in his future, Vito claims he'd do it all again "100 times" if he thought he could save anyone or bring closure to the victims' families.
Vito After offers a window into the heart and mind of one everyday hero - while paying tribute to the countless others like him. It also points to the vital need for continued long-term medical evaluations and tracking of all recovery workers. What price they will pay for their bravery is a question that will remain unanswered for years to come.

text: Hi, I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD 4x4 and the battery is making problems. Since I'am in Peru, I cannot go to AutoZone and just buy a new one. On the old battery there is no labe to tell the electrical specification and the handbook says nothing about it. So can someone tell me what kind of battery I need?? Thank you in davance Oliver

After power failure my sharespace won't turn on, similar problem to this.
the power light is off but the 4 HDD lights are on solid green. Have tried pressing the power button but nothing happens (and holding it down).
Would try resetting but the instructions say to do that with the power on.
When I unplug it the power light comes on momentarily with the HDD lights amber it then the HDD lights go green and the power light goes out nothing more happens.
Is set to raid 5
Dude, I'd call WD on this one.... With luck, only the power adapter is at fault.
Already email WD, they said the same thing as you, "probably the power adaptor" I don't have easy access to a spare so measured the voltage and it was 19.2V, so am thinking it is the power on the SS mother board
What RAID mode do you have? If you're on double 1 or 5 then you can recover the data on Linux.
I'm having this exact issue right now. I noticed over the past few days that the system had been 'unstable' and after a time, the device stopped responding and wouldn't respond to power button commands.
After attempting to safely shutdown the unit, I had to hard power down.
Once the unit was back, I ran checks to ensure everything was OK and began frantically ensuring that the backups have all run to the external drive to get our files up and off the machine.
Overnight, the machine failed again and this time when I hard reset the box, it didn't come back at all.
Interestingly, the front of the unit shows that the HDD's are solid green. This is obviously incorrect. Looking at the back of the unit, I can see that the ethernet port is flashing fairly constantly orange. This is obviously not correct behaviour. Attempting to SSH to the machine proves fruitless and upon closer inspection I can see that the machine doesn't respond to ping.
In addition a quick check of our local network also shows that the MAC address for the machine no longer appears on any arp tables, meaning that it's not attempting to connect out anywhere, or dump data into the network. There's lots of weird things going on with the unit as a whole.
What would be great is to know how to just get onto the machine without requiring SSH, I can see on the little motherboard that CN2 and CN3 are empty, CN2 looks like it could be some kind of console style access, and CN3 looks like an additional USB port?
From what I can see, it looks like I'm going to have to bin this whole unit and I've potentially lost data as it's been discovered that the mkfs ext3 built into busybox , or even potentially the faliure of the device during a mount / build might have created some superblock corruption which is making recovery from our 2TB attached backup a bit difficult too.
I'll be moving all of these drives into a new machine and running recovery off there, but I would like to know what is going on here.
I am having exactly the same problem. Mine shows the 4 drive lights on and no power led. Periodically it seems to try to start - all leds come on but then it goes back to tht 4 drive state. This is also after a power outage.
I am having the same problem. Does anyone have an easy solution. I am not a very advanced computer user.
Or is there a way to get the data off the drive?

Carbon Steel passt perfekt zur CB1300 im Pommes rot-weiss look
GP2 Black Magic für Suzuki Bandit GSF 650 SA Bj. 2011
erwartungen fast erfüllt
er passt für meinen geschmack sehr gut zum klassischen und zeitlosen design der cb1300. durch die geringere baulänge und die ovale form macht er echt nen schlanken fuss :-)... im vergleich zur original panzerhaubitze ... ohne sich andererseits zu verlieren an dem brocken von motorrad.
in sachen sound ist er kein krawallmacher. im stand nah am original, auf drehzahl wirds dann ein bisschen kerniger, aber immer noch nicht aufdringlich laut.
hauptargument war bei mir aber die optik .... auf stressige termine mit der rennleitung bin ich ohnehin nicht scharf .

Arsène Wenger believes it is "too simplistic" to ban all two-footed challenges from football.
According to reports, referees' chief Mike Riley will instruct officials to dismiss any player who commits a two-footed tackle - regardless of whether contact is made or if the ball is won.
But Wenger says that there are occasions where it is necessary for the tackler to use both legs.
"I feel at the moment [players] are punished more for frontal challenges, rather than those from behind. I don't know why," he said.
"I would prefer that [referees show a] red card [for] the bad tackles and not the good challenges as sometimes the second leg has to follow if you go down. It depends where you put the second leg.
"It is too simplified to sum it up like that [and ban all challenges]."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

WaPo wonders: What will hundreds of thousands of job permits do to the economy?
posted at 11:01 am on June 16, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
I asked the same question in an update to Erika's post on Barack Obama's unilateral move to accommodate young illegal immigrants by refusing to deport them and issue them temporary work permits instead. With potentially as many as 800,000 new workers flooding into the system, what happens to the millions of Americans who can't find work now? The Washington Post wonders the same thing, and more:
President Obama has just opened a floodgate of opportunity for young illegal immigrants in the United States, but could it squeeze the aspirations of legal Americans in the process? …
Under the new policy, as many as 1.4 million undocumented immigrants under age 30 will be able to apply for the amnesty, allowing them to work and attend college legally. To be eligible, they must have been in the United States for five years, have no criminal record, and attend high school or college or be a military veteran.
The policy does not provide permanent legal residency, but it protects those who qualify from being deported and gives them a chance to renew their new status every two years. It also does not grant any public benefits, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Federal law already grants all undocumented immigrants the right to a public-school education and emergency hospital care.
The new policy could entail additional costs for administration and enforcement, however, and put pressure on state systems of higher education to meet growing demand for slots.
A move like this might have made sense in 2005-6, when the civilian participation rate in the workforce was near its all-time high (around 66.2% at that time), with unemployment in the 5% range, and labor so tight that hourly wages on entry level positions were constantly rising. American businesses would have welcomed a larger pool of legal workers and the competition wouldn't have put others out of work or forced them to work for significantly less money. People would have opposed it for other reasons, but economically speaking, it wouldn't have had a tremendously negative impact, at least not in the short term.
But now? We're not creating enough jobs to keep up with population growth as it is. With this new policy in place, Obama will introduce hundreds of thousands of suddenly-eligible workers into an economy with an 8.2% nominal unemployment rate, a 14.8% U-6 un/underemployed rate, with a civilian participation rate that has plummeted from 65.7% at the start of the Obama recovery in June 2009 (the same as it was when he took office, too) to 63.8%, lower than it was when Reagan faced his first midterm election. Those who are already struggling to find jobs are not only going to face more competition for those slots, the glut of labor will depress entry-level wages even further.
Don't make the mistake of dismissing the short-term benefits of this move for Barack Obama. When a chief executive "takes the bull by the horns" and acts in a strong manner, he will usually get rewarded with a bump upward in approval and support. Americans like to see leaders lead, which is the reason incumbent Presidents have such an advantage in re-election efforts. It's also no secret that the Latino community had grown angry with the increased rate of deportations in the Obama administration, and this will heal a breach that Obama can't afford in November. But this has a large potential for backfire — and if jobs reports this summer continue the downward trend we've been seeing this year, those 23 million Americans who already feel locked out of the economy will be asking the same question the Post does this morning.

Basking in the Bright Light of Bermuda
Pompano Beach Club • South Hampton, Bermuda
Escape Kit
- One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Oceanfront Room from January 17, 2013 until March 7, 2013
- Included Breakfast
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers to Extend Stay
Dramatically situated overlooking Bermuda's southwest coast, the family-owned-and-operated Pompano Beach Club is truly a tropical paradise. This popular 75-room resort has been ranked #1 on the island by TripAdvisor for eight consecutive years, and between the breathtaking beachfront setting and exceptional service and hospitality, it's not hard to see why.
Pompano's oceanfront deluxe rooms have spacious terra cotta-tiled balconies and patios, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, king-size beds, and large bathrooms with double sinks, marble countertops, and separate tubs and showers. But you didn't come to Bermuda to stay indoors. Outside, the temperature rarely falls below 70 degrees in the wintertime and hovers around the mid-80s in the summer.
On the beach, chaise lounges pepper silky smooth sands that lead oceanward toward the resort's sandbar, where guests can wade out to swim and snorkel among the coral reefs. Divers will want to explore the scenes of shipwrecks that include sunk Spanish galleons, British warships, and Civil War blockade runners.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrors reflect a full-service fitness center, and the pool deck boasts not only a bright-white balustrade railing that's been the setting for photo shoots featured in prominent fashion magazines, but also spectacular views of the cerulean ocean below. Five complimentary-use tennis courts and the top-rated, Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed Port Royal Golf Course (located just next door) provide ready recreation, while an on-site oceanfront day spa is sure to cure all that ails you.
The resort's oceanfront Cedar Room, Ocean Grill, and Coral Reef Café offer a variety of fresh fare morning, noon, and night (with mesmerizing views at sunset, naturally)—and we dare you to wait 30 minutes before a dip in one of three outdoor hot tubs after dessert.
"We can't recommend this place enough for a honeymoon or vacation. The sunset views are spectacular. The food is five-star quality... They have entertainment every night and dancing. The hotel is right on the beach."-- TripAdvisor

Long Distance Caring During the
If you feel that your parent is not
capable of making an informed decision, then contact his
physician for an assessment of his cognitive abilities.
This poses different questions about safety and the
ability to care for oneself. Yet, even in cases of
dementia, there still might be resources available to
help keep your parent at home. To do this, engage a
geriatric social worker to assist you in making up a
care plan and obtaining the necessary resources. If this
is not possible due to a parent's extreme incapacity or
limited resources, a social worker can also help you to
either relocate him to a safer environment or assist in
relocation to a facility closer to you.
Without fully assessing your
parent's situation no one can offer specific options.
Find a professional who can fully evaluate the situation
and provide a series of options for your parent. Prior
to your next visit to your parent, you may wish to
locate a physician if your parent does not already have
an ongoing relationship with one. You can also contact a
social service agency or a private care manager to meet
with you and your parent. If there are legal matters you
may need an attorney. By trying to locate services prior
to your next visit, you will save yourself days of
searching and waiting for appointments.
There are no simple answers or solutions. Each person's
situation is different. Each child has a different
relationship with her parent, and this may also
determine the level of your involvement. You need to
think about your parent's needs and your own needs as
well. You cannot force services upon a parent who is
capable of making decisions and willing to live with
some level of risk in order to remain at home. However,
if your parent is no longer capable, then you need to
act. Even if you notice only a small decline, it is not
too early to know what resources are available and who
might be able to help. You don't need to do it all
yourself. Elicit the help of family members and friends,
and, if appropriate, find a professional who knows the
resources and can help you through the maze of decision
making. You do not have to face this alone.

Verizon to Spend $3B to Bring Fiber TV and Net Access to NYC
Tuan Nguyen
August 15, 2006 2:21 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
And another $17 billion to fiber the whole country
Competition is heating up for
Verizon as its massive team of fiber optic technicians hurry
to network together states stretching from California to New York. Verizon is competing with companies like Cablevision, Time Warner Cable and others to not only gain market share but also to keep it from losing more customers.
Verizon is currently on a massive project to replace its aging copper lines with new highly durable and ultra-fast fiber lines. Verizon hopes to connect roughly 16 million homes and apartments across the US, with an estimated 3.1 million homes in New York City alone. The cost of such a mammoth project is huge. Verizon says it expects to spend roughly $20 billion by 2010 to complete the new network. With it, Verizon will be able to offer better phone, video, Internet and other IP services.
Companies such as Comcast and Vonage are striking hard in the phone business, taking a chunk of customers away from Verizon virtually on a daily basis. Comcast is also involved in cable TV and other businesses that Verizon is not. However, with the new optical network in place, Verizon is rolling out a new type of TV service called FiOS TV.
With FiOS TV, a digital signal is sent through a fiber optic network rather than traditional copper cable. The optic network provides massive bandwidth and allows Verizon to scale up video quality as the time comes. More HDTV channels, multi-channel audio and better quality are all part of Verizon's game plan.
Verizon is also introducing a dual-tuner DVR with its FiOS TV home service. The DVR allows customers to watch programs from anywhere in the house using streaming video. The DVR will act as a central video hub, streaming video and audio to other client hubs throughout the house. FiOS customers are required to pay $3.95/month per client box and $19.95/month for the DVR hub.
previously reported that
TiVo is also readying its dual-tuner CableCARD DVR
. TiVo stated that its Series3 tuners are already in the hands of several major cable networks for testing.
Verizon is also planning to roll out FiOS Internet services on a national scale. Currently, Verizon's FiOS services are available in a limited number of select areas. With newer residential and business developments, Verizon is going in early, hoping to persuade builders to allow it to install fiber lines to each unit. Certain builders however, have prohibited Verizon from installing fiber lines despite their obvious advantages. Verizon also has to compete with AT&T and the family of Bell companies.
As the race for wiring up the nation in fiber heats up, Verizon along with its competitors are hoping that the big short term investments will bring in long term rewards.

Beyond Repair: Art, Community, and an Expanded Notion of Publication
Haley Ryan
Apr 2016
Tucked between a taco stand, an Indian fusion restaurant, and a microbrewery in south Minneapolis's Midtown Global Market is a booth that at first glance appears to be a print shop and bookstore. And it is: books, zines, and posters are for sale. But at Beyond Repair—an artistic and community-building project of Red76 cofounder Sam Gould—the exchange of inked paper is secondary to the exchange of ideas.
There Are Many Ways to Destroy a Piano
Fionn Meade
Mar 2016
Burning, sawing, toppling: "There are many ways to destroy a piano," says Andrea Büttner of Piano Destructions (2014), a video installation that presents interventions by (largely male) artists alongside footage of women pianists performing Chopin, Schumann, and Monteverdi—at once complicating the presumption of men as artistic iconoclasts and destroying a traditional symbol of bourgeois education for women.
Statistical Salvos: Feminism, WARM, and the Guerrilla Girls
Patricia Olson
Feb 2016
When black-and-white posters boldly announcing statistics about inequality in the art world started appearing in 1985, Patricia Olson took note. A decade before the Guerrilla Girls began using New York walls as a canvas, she helped found WARM—the Women's Art Registry of Minnesota, a 40-member feminist collective and gallery that likewise used the power of data to fight for gender parity in the arts.
Image Ubiquity and the Ordinary Picture
Haley Ryan
Feb 2016
Not your ordinary photography show, Ordinary Pictures surveys the work of some 40 artists—from Steve McQueen and Sturtevant to Amanda Ross-Ho and Elad Lassry—who question, critique, and exploit the materials and methods of commercial image production. From appropriation to collage to experimental film, their practices complicate the ever-expanding global image economy and the role of art within it.
First Look: Announcing 16 New Artworks for the Expanded Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
Olga Viso
Jan 2016
Katharina Fritsch's giant blue rooster. Commissions by Nairy Baghramian, Theaster Gates, Mark Manders, Philippe Parreno, and others. Sculptures by Sam Durant, Kcho, and Liz Larner. When the renovated Minneapolis Sculpture Garden opens in 2017, visitors will see the return of old favorites plus the arrival of 16 new works. Here's a first look at the art and artists that'll animate the new 19-acre campus.
Taste as a Political Matter: Coco Fusco on the Guerrilla Girls
Coco Fusco
Jan 2016
Exploring NYC's "nocturnal underworld" at age 24, Coco Fusco stumbled upon her "first encounter with a full-on feminist art intervention": a show at the Palladium curated by the Guerrilla Girls. "This was an activist approach that I could connect with, as it spoke truth to power playfully, with wit and style," she writes in honor of the Girls' 30th anniversary—and one that influenced how she makes art today.
Allegories: The Memorial Paintings of Jack Whitten
Emily Sortor
Dec 2015
"Through memory we reconstruct our past," says Jack Whitten. "We honor the dead through memory." Motivated by this idea, Whitten created a series of paintings honoring key people and events in his life and in American culture, from Lena Horne to MLK, the 9/11 attacks to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that occurred three years ago today. Here, a look at 13 of Whitten's memorial paintings.
A Circle of Blood
Jack Whitten
Dec 2015
Paris. Beirut. Charleston. What is art's role in the face of heinous violence? Jack Whitten links his experiences growing up as "a product of American apartheid" to the deaths of so many, including Eric Garner, Aylan Kurdi, and Darren Goforth.
William Pope.L: The Will to Exhaust
Adrienne Edwards
Sep 2015
As Gilles Deleuze put it, to exhaust is not to be tired; it is the will to begin again. In Pope.L's performances—which have found the artist crawling the streets of Manhattan in a black suit or consuming pages of the Wall Street Journal—the willingness to reformulate our experiences of subjectivity and collectivity is about exhausting limitations in order to know what indeed is possible.

He was a Brit living in Singapore and he smoked cigarettes that smelled like incense. He kept buying us expensive vodka as a reward for our work and, at some point, suggested it would be a good idea to snort it.
He turned out to be a fisherman and he told stories about chasing trout in Pakistan and we chose to believe him. He headed an agency branch and traveled Asia to work on ad campaigns and he appreciated our mindless intern support over here.
He wanted us to try absinthe but of course we couldn't get it so he ordered some 100 proof. Abby started to slump in her chair and I found myself unable to stop talking about this one Adirondack brook trout.
We later found out he won multiple One Show pencils for his work but when he left all we remembered was he wanted us to meet at the docks for his morning charter.
By that point we realized we'd been done in by a professional. And there's only so much you can do when you can't even hold it together.

Blackstock, Gregory L. (1946), USA
BiographyThe American Art Brut creator Gregory L. Blackstock (b. 1946) is autistic. He reinterprets the universe in the dim light of his cluttered one-room dwelling place. With the shutters closed and the curtains drawn day and night, he withdraws into the silent seclusion of his at once living and working quarters. And this notwithstanding all the uproar and flashing lights of the surrounding city of Seattle.
Blackstock worked as a pot scrubber for an athletic club during twenty-five years, rounding off his income by playing the accordion on in the street and making drawings that at times appeared in the club newspaper. Gradually, his compositions took up more and more of his time and, since his retirement in 2001, they have become part and parcel of his everyday life — a full-time, feverishly pursued activity.

Now he's asked me to come get them to,so i've ordered a queen from mike in Ohio for the ladies without a mom. thought I'd move them then screen them in for a day or two then put my portable wall around them and release them.

Riyku was looking very hard for the thing that he was looking for. He sighed and looked out of his grey dreamy eyes very solemnly and solemnly said something to his bff, Cloudyroth.
"will we ever find it?"
he said.
"no I still haven't found what we're looking for" said Cloudy, as he whipped away a tear with his giant belt buckle.
"where is that smite beta key..."
ok so welcome to my super cool rp
first you post a picture of your character right. and then you say their name and if they are a ninja, samurai, or giant mech with spiky hair.

CompactAppliance.com Breaks Out of the Box with More Niches
November 1, 2008
As it builds beyond its initial niche of selling appliances and home furnishings sized for apartment dwellers, there's nothing compact about CompactAppliance.com's strategy of expanding into new markets.
With a new e-commerce platform from Demandware Inc., the retailer is able to make faster changes to web site design and more quickly launch microsites serving markets as diverse as beer-cooling equipment and tankless hot water heaters, says Jason Roussos, president of Richlund Ventures Inc., operator of CompactAppliance and its growing roster of microsites.
Bolstered by upgraded technology and a more diversified e-commerce strategy, CompactAppliance.com expects to finish out the year in good order, with web sales up by 25% or higher, he says. "We can now build multiple web sites in a hosted environment using just one standard catalog, and do it quickly," Roussos says.
CompactAppliance.com also installed an analytics package from Omniture Inc. and an e-mail marketing program from Yesmail, a unit of InfoGroup Inc.
CompactAppliance.com, which generated web sales of $30 million in 2007, recently launched LivingDirect.com as a universal branding site. Over time CompactAppliance.com will launch more microsites, such as kegerator.com, a forthcoming e-commerce destination that will sell a variety of beer-cooling equipment and related accessories. The company plans to use LivingDirect.com, which sells wine and beverage cooling and dispensing products, compact appliances and specialty items, as a universal brand that will drive traffic to its present and future microsites, Roussos says.
Another of its microsites, HotwaterSource.com, sells tankless water heaters. By migrating to a universal brand, CompactAppliance.com sees a new opportunity to appeal to a broader universe of specialty appliance shoppers and improve its online marketing program, including search engine optimization.
"LivingDirect.com will be a destination and over time will become our main brand," Roussos says. "Shoppers can come to LivingDirect.com and do a live chat, read and participate in customer reviews, and blog. It will be a branded entity for specialized appliance shoppers."

Started July 9, Basic Medium Sweet Mead, no heat method from "The Compleat Meadmaker": 15 lbs honey, 5 t. Carlson yeast nutrient, 2-1/2 t. Carlson energizer, and 2 pkts. Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast, water to make 5 gal..
I added a crushed vitamin B tablet (according to the book, Morse and Steinkraus came up with 2 formulas for additives to enhance fermentation that consistently resulted in mead that completed fermenting in two weeks. My Carlsons seemed to be missing the B vitamins they recommended.)
Starting SG 1.112. Aerated it on the 2nd day and it foamed up hugely and smelled very yeasty/beery. The air lock has never bubbled. Possibly didn't have airtight lid as I used the screw on type on a 6 gal. bucket with an airlock. Or maybe I aerated all the CO2 out at the beginning?
Opened it a couple times over the past 6 weeks and each time smelled very strongly "beery". Today I tasted it and the "beeriness" is almost gone. It is still a bit sweeter than I'd like and definitely has some alcohol, but doesn't taste bad at all. My hydrometer measured 1.027. I racked it into a 5 gal. carboy and added 1 tsp. nutrient and 1/2 tsp. energizer to see if I can get it to ferment a bit further. Should I pitch some more yeast or is it working normally? Without getting bubbles, I don't know how to know if it's finished or possibly stuck. Did I keep releasing the CO2 when I opened it to check it, so it never built up to bubble? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Putney is a residential and shopping district in south London, located in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is situated 5.1 miles (8.2 km) south-west of Charing Cross. For centuries, Putney was a place where Londoners came for leisure, to enjoy the open spaces and clean air. Since the second half of the 19th century, Putney has been one of the most significant centres for rowing in the United Kingdom.
The nearest underground/metro station is East Putney (district line Zone 2) and mainline station Putney. This will got to Waterloo. There are useful buses from the high street: 74 bus goes to South Kensington and Oxford Street, 22 bus goes to Sloane Squae and 14 bus to Fulham Road.
Putney is very well-served by buses, tubes and the rail network.
Putney, one of the pleasantest of the London suburbs, as well as the most accessible. The immense increase in the number of houses in late years testifies to its popularity; but there is still an almost unlimited extent of open ground which cannot be covered; and with wood and water, common and hill, there will always be an element of freshness and openness in Putney seldom to be obtained so near London.
Very frequent trains from London Waterloo, via Clapham Junction, to Putney Rail station. From Putney Rail station there are fairly frequent trains to Richmond, Hounslow and out towards Winndor

Breakfast was lovely, great kitchen plus cute puppydog to entertain us. Definetely a place to come back to. Thank you Laura
Laura was an excellent host. She was very friendly and we felt at home. The house is situated in a lovely area of London, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I really enjoyed my stay. The bedroom and the bathroom are very clean, as shown on the pictures. The rest of the house is also very clean, quite and comfortable. The shopping centers and the restaurants are very close, about 2 minutes walk. And 5 minutes walk to the "Putney" station. Putney is 8 km away from London down town. It takes 15 Min. to Waterloo underground station.
Laura Rose, she is very friendly, kind & helpful. She provides a lot of information about London, updated from her adorable daughter Alicia ! Even better than travel guide and google. Thank you Laura for every single favor you have done. And thank you Alicia.
I'll (we'll) surely come again to your accommodation.
Best Regards,
Bedroom and bathtub were clean but we had no key for our bedroom and the door was warped. We will not book this apartment anymore

Io e mio figlio di dodici anni ci siamo trovati bene : camera pulita, dalle giuste dimensioni ,luminosa, letti comodi e si trova in una bella zona con la possibilità di passeggiare lungo il Tamigi. Lo consigli

It locates:
GIS allows questions to be asked from the map side
or from the database side.
Questions can be asked by either side because the map graphics and database records are linked via a unique number.
It allows questions to be framed geographically
GIS is a way of organizing database records by tying them to geographically synchronized slices of the world so that "where" questions can be asked and answered.
GIS Project Examples:
"The realization is growing that almost everything that happens in a public policy context also happens in a geographic one: transportation planners, water resources studies, education subcommittees, redistricting boards, planning commissions, and crime task forces all must consider questions of where along with the usual ones of how, and why, and how much will it cost. GIS, by answering the first question, helps to answer the others."

Relevant Documentation:

|ACS 2008-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B: Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Contract Rent -> Median and Quartile Contract Rent
The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median. Quartiles divide the rent distribution into four equal parts. Median and quartile contract rent are computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Derived Measures.") In computing median and quartile contract rent, units reported as "No rent paid" are excluded. Median and quartile rent calculations are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Upper and lower quartiles can be used to note large rent differences among various geographic areas. (For more information on medians and quartiles, see "Derived Measures.)"
