Back by popular demand, Dive'n'Movies at Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas will begin on Friday, June 6 at 8 p.m., kicking off with the highest grossing animated film of all time. Movie nights are free with the price of admission and are an added benefit for Season Pass holders. During the day, guests can take advantage of the park's many slides and attractions including the new Tornado extreme funnel slide that provides a zero gravity experience, and then catch great movies under the stars every Friday night.
"Our Dive'n'Movies proved to be a family favorite last year so we're starting these special events earlier this season and have added more dates," said Takuya Ohki, general manager of Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas. "They're a great way for the whole family to spend time together. We'll be showing a wide range of movies from animated classics to favorite action features that are perfect for all ages."
Dive'n'Movies will be every Friday from June to the end of August at the Red Rock Bay Wave Pool which will transform into a unique outdoor cinema. Guests will be able to view blockbuster films while relaxing on inflatable tubes, available to rent, or on lounge chairs enjoying popcorn and other snacks.
Movie times are 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. when the park closes. For the complete movie schedule, visit http://admin.wetnwildlasvegas.com/Events/DivenMovieslv.asp.Dates and times are subject to change.
Wet'n'Wild is also offering a Twilight Ticket option for $19.99 for guests who want to enjoy the park at 4 p.m. and later to take advantage of Wet'n'Wild's extended hours this season. It will stay open until 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

About Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas
One of the world's most iconic water park brands, Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas opened for its second season in April with expanded hours, a longer operating season, a new slide to open Memorial Day weekend and other improvements. It is Nevada's premier water park with more than 25 slides and attractions, and a place for both thrill seekers and families. For the more daring, the multimillion dollar park features the new Tornado, the world's premier funnel slide that catapults riders through a swirling 45-foot-wide funnel; Rattler, the first slide of its kind in North America, and Constrictor, an extreme water slide featuring some of the tightest turns. Families and those desiring a more relaxing experience enjoy Splash Island, the interactive children's area with kid friendly slides and a giant dumping bucket; Colorado Cooler lazy river; and Red Rock Bay wave pool. With great amenities including shaded areas, private cabanas and misting, Wet'n'Wild is ideally located off I-215, at Sunset Road and Ft. Apache Road. The park is a partnership between Village Roadshow Theme Parks, the majority owner and overseer of day-to-day operations, and Las Vegas investors through SPB Partners, one of Nevada's first private equity funds.

Subject: [Ess] Fw: Birth/Baptism of GEORGE WHITE about 1816 in West Ham
Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2010 14:29:21 -0600
Could any listers please advise me where I could perhaps look for this man's
birth and parentage.
On the 1851 Census he states that he is born 1816 in West Ham (he is a silk
printer living at an address given as 1 West Street, West Ham, Stratford.
I have searched the cd of baptisms for All Saints, West Ham 1813-1835 and he
is not there.
On the 1861 Census he states that he is born 1817, a silk printer, born in
Stratford, living at 3 Church Row, West Ham.
The later census records are also consistent.
Since I cannot find his baptism in All Saints (which I understand to be the
main, if not the only church at that time for that area) where else would it
be logical to look. Which other churches would be likely candidates.
If anybody could give me some pointers I would be most grateful.
Kind regards and best wishes to everyone

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 12.0450 Monday, 26 February 2001
Date: Saturday, 24 Feb 2001 4:01:16 GMT
Subject: 12.0420 Cornish Curates
Comment: Re: SHK 12.0420 Cornish Curates
When the Anglo-Saxons entered the British Isles, some of the Cornish
Romanized elites migrated to Brittany (until then called Armorica).
Perhaps this passage is a reference to that migration. If the Cornish
curate resided in Brittany, he could come from across the sea.
One would need to know whether the playwright would have known the
history of that migration. But the study of Anglo-Saxon texts began
with the Reformation, so by 1652, the history of the migration of such
people as Cornish curates to Brittany might have been common knowledge.
Just a guess.

Shock Wave Detection
Development of a Probe to Detect Blast Wave Direction and Strength
The problem of muzzle blast in Army crew areas is of critical importance. Multiple reflections of blast waves over solid surfaces can cause substantial over pressure behind, which can be harmful to the crew. In order to be able to address this problem, better understanding of the phenomenon of blast wave reflections is needed. Better understanding, however, requires more accurate measurement of pressure behind blast waves, which may have been reflected by irregular surfaces. The task of this study is to develop and test a probe which can measure accurately the pressure behind blast waves as well as their direction as they past over the measurement location.

Annie Lennox and Brittany Murphy spotted on both sides of the Atlantic.

Fashion is still akin to the morning repast of our canine companions. Here, my dears, is le menu du jour:
■ Tom Ford (the book), Alice McCall (the Australian label), Herve Leroux (the designer, now frocking for Guy Laroche), black sunglasses and red lips (does this ever really fade in fashion's ice-cool heart?), the doctors bag (the bag beloved - duh - of doctors in the early-to-mid 20th century and most fondly remembered by Prada devotees when it was resurrected as a chic carry-all by Miuccia. It's back), Mother Inc. (the band), Hey There, Cupcake! (the book), black (cut with pale whispers of chiffon and silk satin, or lightly salted with sequins that glint more than flash), Blush (the scent, by Marc Jacobs), Da-Nang (the silk, agesoftened cargo trousers, still pumping, particularly in the US on weekends), down-marketing (fashion's latest uber-guru to spin his design-lines downmarket from his comfort zone is none other than Karl Lagerfeld, recruited by the phenomenally successful Swedish fad-factory and retail chain, H & M), sequins on fur, classic sneaker flats (the flatter, the thinner, the simpler, the better, provided there is no skimping on technology or slick three-stripe design, as exemplified by designer Alex Zabotto Bentley of label, Fashion Assassin, in his collaborative sneakers produced by K-Swiss. Tel: 02 9524 6199 for stockists), Lacoste (the label), fair-isle patterned chunky knitted jumpers (yodel-eh-ih-hoo!), puffa vests (it's cold over there), Katarzyna Szczotarska (the polish/English UKbased designer, pronounced Kartyazena Show-tarska), the trench coat (here still, it never left), anything Juicy (the Juicy label can do no wrong right now), ocelot and leopard-prints (perhaps at least partly propelled by Stefano Gabbana's Italian television show, The Pink Line, reverence for the exotic patterns has erupted again in recent months in bags, belts, jewellery - see "Trinket Alert", below - frocks, boots and coats, as exemplified by Brittany Murphy and Annie Lennox on both sides of the Atlantic this week), World (the New Zealand label which showed its winter 2005 collection in Melbourne earlier this month, pictured, is relentlessly original, with a sophisticated, cartoon take on and trends and colour blocking).
The spring racing carnival is a handy barometer of what's hot and working well - frockwise - in the real world beyond the preachy pages of Aussie fashion glossies.
Through the season's Caulfield and Flemington legs, after ambushing near enough to a hundred women with the question: "What are you wearing?", Ive a notepad fat with names, darling, names of the labels currently doing it for stylish Melburnians.
Anna Fiori shoes
"I got my jacket/frock/skirt/hat from Witchery" and "My shoes are from Zomp/Witchery/Anna Fiori", were answers shot back so often that they warranted their own short-hand code.
So my notes are heavily peppered with "W"s, "Z"s and "AF"s. The "AF"s popped up ad nauseam. I scrawled "Anna Fiori cross-hatched pink leather tapered chunk heel" or "Anna Fiori cork platform peep-toe pump with performation and bow detail" in my sleep.
The chequered ankle strapped sandal "Inez" style - FYI - is $229.50, and the twisted leather "Harmony" sandal $239.50.
Pop into Shop 22, Block Arcade, Collins Street, city, or Shop 4, 286 Toorak Road, South Yarra, or phone 9386 8877 for other stockists.
"We may not have the most original talent, but we have the biggest circus."
And, amen to that. Simon Doonan, creative director of iconic Big Apple store Barneys was musing on New York Fashion Week's inexorable descent in the Great American Way of celebrating hype above substance.
His comment came after a flood of B, C, D and E-list celebrities were enlisted to fill the front rows at fashion shows, relegating buyers and writers to the all-but-Siberian wastes of row two and beyond.
Lord knows why we tote so much of life's flotsam around with us on any average day, but we do.
It's a girl thing, obviously. Dinky, fist-sized clutch purses may come, and handbags roomy as three small walnuts may go, but that's simply fashion. Who notices?
It is the mother of all bags most of us need, to haul such "stuff" and "things" as tampons and blockbusters and all those vital daily oddments (Vogue, spare knickers, free-standing picture of mum, Liquid Paper . . .) in between.
There are a lot of bags about, of course - pretty ones, and stylish too, terribly sophisticated, or sleek as a Starck.
Here's another collection to add to the bamboozlement. "Eclettica" bags come in heavy cotton canvas with Italian leather trim.
Their quality appears good, designs are keyed simply to the now, and their colour combinations will link harmoniously with a whole wardrobe of current summer fashion options.
The St Tropez bag, at $299, comes with all the pockets and zips a serious stuff-toter might crave to accommodate a mobile phone, pens, notebooks, even a laptop and assorted thingamies.
Track yours to Muse, Modha, Private Lives, Danielle's, Collections for Women, Positano, or call (02)9363 1506.
■ Fashion 2004, the graduate exhibition of RMIT fashion degree students, opens this morning for a short, unmissable three-day season on Level 2, Curtin House, 252 Swanston Street, city. Today, tomorrow and Sunday it will run, respectively, from 11am to 6 pm, 11am to 4pm, and 11am to 3pm. Tel: 9925 2782.
■ Now that Tom Ford has retired to Hollywood, who here but Peter Morrissey could fill the void? Sydney's king of slick will host the launch of his new lingerie collection at Myer Melbourne today with shows at 12.30pm and 1.30pm. On Level 1, Lonsdale Street Store.
Camille Fuller first fashioned frocks for her sister, former Miss Australia Suellen Fuller, whose magnificent, beauty-queen bustline was inexplicably difficult to accommodate with clothing designs from regular ranges.
Camille's "can do" attitude and considerable talent for designs that are simultaneously fashionable AND sensible (ie: they fit even those among us freakishly endowed with a cup size greater than 34B) rocketed her label, Cameo Fox, to commercial stardom.
There are now three Cameo Fox shops (all of them, unfortunately, interstate) and 70 stockists to satisfy the Fuller sisters' (Suellen has joined the business) swelling fan club.
Although they design editions comparatively small to ensure a level of exclusivity, and although Camille is a fabric technology fanatic with perfectionist tendencies, garment prices are not especially high.
A black stringstrapped cami (one of few pieces not ideal for the voluptuous) costs $159, and swish matched metallic-trimmed pleat skirt $199. A silver silk-satin ruffled blouse (one of the many pieces ideal for the voluptuous) is $149 and grey patterned trousers $169.
Tel: (02) 9884 7350 for your nearest.
The Francesca Romana Italian jewellery collection is a heart-flutteringly lovely one now exclusively in Melbourne at Keshett Jewellers, 323-325 Little Collins Street, city, tel: 9654 1514.
I won't waffle on about thick, tumbled, semiprecious stone necklaces luscious enough to lick, or clever rings that could tart up a black frock on their own, or vivid bracelets and bangles and brooches that have caught the eye of customers such as Britney Spears (not a paragon of good taste, admittedly, but some measure of the collection's delectable modernity perhaps), Princess Victoria of Sweden, Princess Masako of Japan, and Queen Sofia of Space (that's better).
I won't.
Who will buy all these frocks? The flinging-open of frockshop doors continues - fling! Fling! Fling! - across the city.
In the month since "Style Eyes" withdrew to make way for spring racing carnival and Australian Fashion Week coverage, there have been dozens more openings in the new GPO, QV and Melbourne Central centres.
Too many to review here, though a comprehensive feature on the frockshop highlights among them is planned before Christmas.
In the meantime, the flinging-open of shops is not exclusively about frocks. The Metropolitan Museum of Art store in Melbourne Central, for example, is a thrilling aberration. It's an absorbing replica of its namesake in New York where gift-giving is art and sport.
Jewellery, miniature and replica artworks, quirky homeware and craft pieces like the tiny French Louis shoe decoration, pictured.
Factor an hour for your first close inspection of Shop 157, 211 La Trobe Street, city, underneath Melbourne Central's shot tower. Tel: 9363 0103.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Excellent I ordered the 50" version of this same TV for my mom, after having a slightly older model myself, has been problem free and she cannot get over how great the picture is..I am truly sorry that Panasonic and other manufacturers can no longer offer plasma..But, LED has come a long way...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from It can't Get Any Better I did tons of research and everything I found led me to this television. I can't say enough how happy I am with my purchase and how the it has completely exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is fantastic and I get compliments from everyone who watches about how clear and vivid colors are, even in very dark scenes. I would recommend this tv to anyone but unfortunately they have quit producing it just when it was at the top of the game. I am in the process of purchasing another set for my bedroom and will definitely be looking at other Panasonic offerings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great TV I seen this TV on sale at a Brandsmart sale for less than the 50" model. Figured how can I lose. What a deal I got in return, this thing is great. Sports and gaming are amazing and the wireless connection puts Netflix and You Tube right at my fingertips. Plenty of ways to adjust the picture and if you use the fiber optic connection like I did you may never go to the movies again. I love this set. They still call this a tv set right. I made sure to buy a Panasonic 3D Blue ray player. Now I'm truly home entertained. Lovin It

What should I do if my TV will not turn on and the power indicator LED is not flashing?Follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure your TV's power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
- Make sure the electrical outlet the TV is plugged into has power by testing known working device in that outlet.
- After verifying the TV is plugged into a working outlet, try pressing the [POWER] button on the TV instead of the TV remote.
What should I do if the front Power indicator LED light is blinking?1. Unplug the TV's power cord.
2. Unplug all cables.
3. Power the TV using a different power outlet (do not use a power strip or surge protector).
If the problem persists, please consider having the TV serviced. Click here for Panasonic Service Locator.
Note: Count how many times the LED light blinks. This can help a technician troubleshoot the problem.
What should I do if I can access all of the TV apps except Netflix?1. Change the DNS setting of your TV to 220.127.116.11.
2. If you are able to access the Netflix splash screen, use the TV remote to deactivate your account by pressing Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. After this process, try loggin back into the Netflix TV app.
If the procedure is successful a screen will come up with the option to deactivate your device from your account. If not try the process again. Once you have successfully deactivated your device, you will need to activate it by opening Netflix and at the main screen selecting Member Sign In, then following the on screen prompts until activation is complete.
If the Netflix app still fails to open, but all of the other TV apps work, visit help.netflix.com for more support.
What should I do if I have bars displaying on the TV screen?Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the [FORMAT] or [ASPECT] button on the TV's remote control. If you still have bars, check the aspect settings on your external video source, such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc. Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana Democrats and Republicans have divided over the importance of intent when it comes to pay discrimination based on gender.
The U.S. Census Bureau data shows on average Louisiana women make about 67 cents for every $1 men make.
Louisiana bans intentional pay discrimination, but only state government workers are protected from unintentional pay discrimination.
New Orleans Sen. Karen Peterson has a proposal to bar private employers from unintentionally paying women less than men for comparable work. Republican Rep. Julie Stokes of Kenner has a competing measure emphasizing that intentional pay discrimination is unlawful.
According to Julie Schwam Harris, of Legislative Agenda for Women, proving unintentional discrimination requires only evidence that an employer is paying employees unequally for the same work, while intentional discrimination is a tougher legal hurdle.

Why Does the FBI Treat Nonviolent Activists Like Terrorists?
Posted on Apr 1, 2014
The FBI has targeted 23 activists in the Midwest, some from the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO). The activists were accused of providing "material support" to terrorists and have been subpoenaed, according to a report on Vice.
The activists were first targeted by the FBI in 2008 in relation to protests outside the Republican National Convention in Minnesota. Years later, they found their homes raided and their computers seized. According to Vice, Tom Burke is an active member of multiple antiwar and labor groups and had been monitored for months before a September 2010 raid. None of the activists have been prosecuted with an actual crime, yet all the cases are still open, the magazine reports.
The case was made by an FBI plant named "Karen," who allegedly tried to incite violence but failed.
The issue of material support entered the story when the activists tried to deliver $2,000 to a group looking to feed the starving residents of Gaza, the Hamas-run Palestinian territory blockaded by Israel.
The more ridiculous aspects of the case were kept somewhat secret due to the gravity of the charges, which is becoming a familiar problem.
This case further helps demonstrate the significance of Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act, which Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges has been reporting on. He is in the process of suing President Obama over Section 1021 and is waiting to learn whether the Supreme Court will agree to hear the case. Read more on the implications of this section for activists, journalists and civilians from all political fields and Hedges' court case against Obama here.

Project DescriptionWhat If an Entire City Could Be Housed Under One Roof?
Matrix Gateway Complex / Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture
A cove between two landmasses in a cove on the waterfront in Dubai.
A 3-million-square-foot enclosed cube with urban infrastructure supporting residential, commercial, hospitality, and cultural uses.
It seemed until recently that Dubai was going to continue forever its quest to build taller, faster, better buildings. But the Matrix Gateway Complex, by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, while certainly no small project, seems to take a different tack. "I appreciate the sort of restraint of this, the notion of making a kind of interior world that might have potential for a new kind of experience. It's not simply about making some sort of icon on the skyline," said juror Stan Allen. The massive 180-meter (590-foot) cube is built on an 18-meter (59-foot) supergrid, with steel frame structures clustered around, and hung from, five vertical cores. Accessible via a roadway that passes through the center of the building, a helipad, and a boat dock, the cube has a hotel with conference facilities, retail and office space, residences, a museum, a school, and a prayer hall—all of the major elements of a small city.
The semi-transparent skin that covers the structure is embedded with shading screens and solar panels, which reduce heat gain while generating some electricity for the complex. Additionally, the condensate from the humidity in the air will be collected and converted into drinking water. The water from the adjacent Persian Gulf will help cool the complex, as will interior waterfalls and breezes flowing through the skin. Juror John Peterson appreciated the architects' approach and summed it up as, " 'We can do anything we want, so why not create something holistically?' "

The shooter at Sandy Hook is being reported as having had Asperger's Syndrome - an autistic spectrum disorder that has only had a relatively small amount of cultural exposure, so if it turns out to be correct, this would be how most of America (and the world) is introduced to it: As a dangerous mental illness associated with psychotic acts of violence - which is about as far from the truth as one could possibly get. Speaking as someone who has Asperger's, this could add an additional (though by no means equivalent) layer of tragedy on top of an already fathomless horror if this monstrous act came to be how people with this disability are defined in the popular imagination. The discussion should rightly focus mainly on gun control, but I'm disturbed by the tenor of some of the media statements I've seen when the subject turns to mental health, and would hope it's not a sign of a potentially damaging misconception being created.

On the February episode of Ask the Experts on Newstalk1010, Managing Partner David A. Altro and Partner & Chief Operating Officer Matt C. Altro spoke about the fiscal cliff deal that was made by the US government at the start of 2013.
Host Iain Grant asked the experts about what lead to the fiscal cliff and the various affects that the deal will have on US estate tax, capital gains tax and income tax. All of the topics were discussed from two perspectives: for Canadians who own US property and for Canadians who plan on moving to the US. David Altro and Matt Altro also answered some live caller questions on these topics.

Hi all,
First of all, thanks for the hard work Manuel! I'm a BSD n00b, but ran
Linux as my OS of choice for about 5 years now. I got my CF card today,
and was up and running in minutes.
I have a Soekris 4501 that I'm looking to use to phase out my Debian PC
firewall ( a much larger and louder 486/33 ;-) ) with m0n0wall. I have
a Netscreen 25 at work, and my Linux box used FreeS/WAN to connect to it
without any problems.
My work VPN is a hub and spoke setup. A quick slice of the VPN net in
172.31.10.0/24 <------------> 172.31.0.0/22 <-------> 172.31.20.0/24
My House Local Office Montana Office
There are 8 different endpoints on the VPN net, with my Local Office
terminating all tunnels. My problem is that under Linux, I could use
the destination network of 172.31.0.0/16, and communicate with all
branches from my house. If I use that destination network in m0n0wall,
it works - I can ping the branch offices and access outside web pages,
but I can no longer access the m0n0wall directly - no pings, no http.
If I use a destination network of 172.31.0.0/22, I can access the Local
Office and my m0n0wall, but (of course) I can't reach the Montana
Just a theory, but it seems as if though m0n0wall (more specifically
racoon) is inserting the route for the VPN endpoints before the existing
routes that have already been defined.
Has anyone else ran into this, or have any ideas for a workaround?
Thanks again,
Justin Ellison <justin at techadvise dot com>

It takes two to make an outfit
Monday 17 September 2012
Report by David Hayes
"Options," said Matthew Williamson backstage after his barnstorming runway outing, a collection that included a wealth of separates as well as his signature wowzer red-carpet numbers. "After 15 years in the business, I'm trying to grow up a little," he joked. "It's all about offering my woman more choice."
And those choices were pretty damn tempting: the show opened with a navy-to-white ombré jacket, silk blouse and tailored-shorts combo that looked like it had been caught in a tropical downpour. And the first dress? That didn't show up until exit five. Radical.
"There is a shift towards separates this season," said Natalie Kingham, International Womenswear Buyer at Matches, at the Lucas Nascimento presentation – a show that majored in long-line, fine-knit tops and skirts and trousers. "We are seeing it on the shop floor as well as online. We've been working the dress for so long. Now there are some great print trousers and skirts coming through on the runway. I particularly loved the split wrap skirts at Preen; they looked fresh and new."
"We wanted the collection to be sexy and wearable at the same time," said Preen's heavily pregnant Thea Bregazzi (her due date was the day of the show) backstage, of the duo's minimal layered mix of animal prints and photographic rose florals. "That meant more separates this season."
"I love separates, especially when colour and prints are the focus," said separates evangelist of a few seasons Jonathan Saunders. "It's important to suggest a way of wearing the collection, but it's also about letting the customer understand how she can wear it her own way."

- Let's talk: Lobby auto-balancing
First off, a quick note on "skill-based matchmaking." If you still don't know how it works, matchmaking grabs the nearest fifty games, assuming those will be the cream of the crop for you ping-wise (which to be fair is usually correct). The lobby you get into is determined by two loose filters: "broad skill" and ping. For example, if your connection setting is set to "Best," it adds a minimum ping requirement that will cause the game to search again if no suitable games are found on the first go.
The broad skill filter is interesting because no one knows exactly how the game calculates broad skill beyond a bunch of guesses, and it's loose because the gap between the best stats in the lobby and the worst tend to be huge, but the filter does seem to increase the chances of there being at least one or two similarly skilled players per lobby to the point of almost guaranteeing it in heavily-populated playlists.
Now, here's what I've noticed: This game clearly attempts to auto-balance the lobby pre-game. I play solo the overwhelming majority of the time so I didn't really notice before, but after playing with my friend for a few nights I definitely saw a trend... it would be me, him, and usually a bunch of god-awful players against one or two better players or (worse) a team of relatively average players. (For reference, we play Kill Confirmed the overwhelming majority of the time.)
This leads to many games being lost because the inexperienced players on our team just flat-out died too much, and often the shoe's on the other foot when we win. While matchmaking's skill-based component is fairly flimsy on its own (after all, parties and connection requirements both effective cap its influence in Public), when combined with pre-game balancing, it has been working fairly well... sometimes unpleasantly so, lol. Even if there are a bunch of people who just got the game in your lobby, it could still turn out not to be a blowout because of one or two "power players" (or "lovely nerds," to quote Vahn) on the other team. (Not to mention awhile ago a guy Tweeted to Vahn complaining about getting strapped with a bunch of bads and Vahn replied that was lobby auto-balancing doing what it was supposed to do.)
Here's my question: How much of this pre-game balancing part of past CoDs? Vahn claims a skill component has been a part of every CoD's matchmaking, but obviously I take that with a game of salt. This game's matchmaking seems demonstrably predictable; if there are four guys with good KDRs and SPMs in a lobby, it'll put two on one team and two on the other the majority of the time if the other players in the lobby are (relatively) equally bad. I don't recall it working like this in past titles at all. So far, this applies more to "small" parties than large ones, because not only do more than three competent players working together gain a significant advantage over a team that isn't, but big parties effectively "break" the skill filter because let's face it... most CoD players are bad, and there's no way matchmaking can find five or six (or even four) guys with really good stats to pit against you (given party and ping requirements) if you're in a team of five or six guys with really good stats.
How has this effected your playing habits?
My next post will detail a couple simple ways to win at a (relatively) high rate in spite of auto-balanced lobbies if you mostly play solo or in a smaller party.

holy crap dude wheres the TL;DR at?
I agree that essentially the team with the worst player loses. happens all the time, just gotta deal with it.

I mostly play solo as well and when I first get into a lobby based on looking at quick stats everything is usually balanced fairly well. However if I completely obliterate the opposing team I usually end up with all of players that did the worst in the previous game. This assumes the opposing team didn't dashboard or rage quit either during or after the game ended.

When playing with a 3 person party, we do multi-team
4 person, we do TDM because we can outweigh the noobs
2 people we do TDM and accept that we will lose most games.
That's how my clan works against this.
"The best, most perfectly tuned online game will always have one glaring flaw.
Anyone can play it." _ Dueric
I was able to maintain a 2.5 W/L in MW2 by myself, but in BOII, I've noticed my winning percentages are much lower. At first, I chalked this up to a lack of familiarity with the metagame or maps on my part, as well as the lag component. (After all, success in CoD is predicated on one's ability to get consecutive kills, and entering a gunfight that experience tells you is highly favorable only to find that your opponent has a significant reaction time advantage due to lag after the fact can be the difference between winning or losing a game, i.e. it might have been the last kill you needed to kick off your scale-tipping scorestreak chain.)
However, I began to notice a trend because even when I was having a good night and putting up scores of +40-50 every single game, while I was winning more on "bad" nights, scores like that in past CoDs would have been enough to essentially ensure my team would win. The worst session ever was eight consecutive games where I went over 40 kills with five or less deaths and 30+ confirms but lost every single game... and that's in different lobbies! I realized this was happening because even though my partner and I were able to kill the other team's weak players at a high rate, our equivalents opposing us were doing the same to the four no-prestige guys on our team.
For awhile, my W/L felt disparaging close to 1-for-1 compared to past titles for someone who typically play in parties but doesn't quit games and puts the win before KDR. The following steps have got it back on track and trending upwards towards 2.0+ like it should be:
1) Run VSAT ASAP. If you aren't "good enough" to get a VSAT, practice makes perfect. Adjust your pace accordingly to ensure you get it, because it is the most powerful killstreak in the game. VSATs have a cumulative effect; if other players on your team are close to their own streaks, VSAT will give them the best possible chance to get them. BOII is the most momentum-based CoD yet due to scorestreak chaining. Especially in KC, where teammates can feed your scorestreak by collecting your tags, a chain such as VSAT, EMP, and Lodestar or Swarm only requires you to get enough score between kills and confirms to get a VSAT for you to get the EMP and Lodestar, and chances are after the Lodestar or Swarm, you'll be very close to ANOTHER VSAT. This effect is multiplied exponentially if you have even just one other VSAT-capable player with you.
1.5) A highly recommended scorestreak chain for a solo player is UAV, VSAT, and a high streak of your choosing. Lodestar is a good choice because it is unlocked relatively early, is piss-easy to get after a VSAT, and is absolutely devastating on most maps, not to mention if the enemy is being lit up by a VSAT, their chances of shooting you down are slender if you keep pumping those missiles into their spawn.
2) Being aggressive is generally your best bet, especially if you have a fast Internet connection. If the popularity of SMGs and all the videos slamming BOII's "lag communism" haven't got it through to you yet, the guy turning corners first and moving fast will enter more gunfights with an innate, consistent advantage in BOII as opposed to a douche sitting in a corner. I'll tell you a secret: SMG + Stock + Lightweight can feel like the equivalent of having double the health provided you can aim while strafing. You can literally eat enemy bullets. Playing aggressively increases your encounters per minute which increases your chances of running into the other team's weaker players (which tend to be in the majority) repeatedly, expediting your scorestreak.

2.5) If you are going to play slower and focus on middle-range gunfights instead of closer quarters, make sure you do so intelligently, i.e. use an accurate AR. Even if you're shooting from behind cover, your relatively weak SMG bullets will frequently not be able to overcome an enemy AR, who often has the option of simply shooting through your cover. This goes double if an AR user is using Toughness. This isn't to say you should never post-up with an SMG, of course, but if you are using an SMG, don't forget the nature of your true advantage lies in your mobility (which makes lag work for you more often than not). If you prefer a less mobile or generally more tactical style of play, despite what complaining players would have you believe, most SMGs are pound-for-pound weaker at middle ranges compared to ARs.
3) Take the time to create some counter-classes, i.e. if you normally don't play with a Suppressor, the solo or small-party player would do well to keep a suppressed alternate class on reserve for player against teams that are actually paying attention to their mini-maps. Additionally, an anti-air support class with Blind Eye and Cold-Blooded is a must (although ideally you will want to play actively enough to where the enemy won't easily get such high scorestreaks), and if you don't regularly run EMP nades, having at least one class with EMP nades and Engineer on tap is a very good idea. Bad players are like magnets for Sentry Guns and AGRs, and you will lose a lot of tags to them if you don't act fast to remove them. Right after entering prestige a night or two ago, I saw a Sentry Gun placed by the statue in the middle of Slums get over ten kills because the other team was too dumb to deal with it effectively. Don't just stick to the same class the entire match if the enemy is employing tactics you have the means to exploit.
That's all for now.
TL;DR BOII's broad skill filter and auto-balanced lobbies have a subtle but noticeable effect on lobby makeup and winning percentages for solo and small party players.

Maybe I haven't played this game enough to notice any differences, but every CoD game I've ever played has seemed to balance the same:
Me + 5-8 vegetables vs. the rest of the lobby
I know that sound arrogant, but it really does seem to pan out that way 90% of the time, and always has. It's been one of the running jokes with CoD that you can go 40-3 in TDM and still lose.
Parties do indeed break the system, although to a lesser degree these days since parties seem much more common in general, and theoretically that offers an easy balancing scenario for the system. I honestly don't think I've played a single non-FFA non-Merc game of BO2 without a 2+ person party on one team.
Oh the movie never ends...

Not arrogant... every time I played with you back in the ye olde Black Ops days, you were an extremely dominant player. I'm just wondering how much of this is blatant confirmation bias on my side and how much BOII's actually been able to successfully shift the paradigm (or reinforce it, I should say).
Due to the nature of success in CoD and the effect a big scorestreak chain can have on a game, I have a hunch that there's a "breaking point" where a guy who can't be stopped from getting his VSAT in an average lobby would need multiple competent players well-versed in the game to counteract his effect which in turn leads to a drastically higher winning percentage for a solo player (most of whom have sub-1.0 W/L)... but I won't know till I'm a (significantly) better BOII player myself. >>

Honestly, I don't pay much attention to the AB. It's always been horrid, IMO. Parties, whether 2 or 6 man, completely screw it up. I stopped checking lobby leaderboards long ago because it simply doesn't matter.
Though I will say that there has never been a game like Blops 2 where I can absolutely destroy a lobby, yet somehow lose EVERY FREAKIN' TIME. It happens so much it's uncanny.

Blanket scam heat on Laloo
patna: The BJP on Wednesday unveiled yet another scam ' this one worth over Rs 40 crore ' and charged that Rashtriya Janata Dal president Laloo Prasad Yadav, the then de facto ruler of Bihar, knew about the siphoning of money meant to purchase blankets for the poor affected by the 2003 cold wave, reports our correspondent.
The fodder for BJP vice-president Sushil Kumar Modi was provided by a letter written by Bihar State Financial Corporation managing director Amita Paul, whose recommendation for a vigilance investigation into the matter was ignored by the then RJD government headed by Rabri Devi, the wife of Laloo Prasad.
Modi released copies of the letter written by Paul to the industries secretary wherein she has highlighted the irregularities committed in the purchase of blankets through Bihar State Export Corporation.
Coming after fodder, bitumen, dhoti-sari and the flood relief swindles, this is only one in a series of scams committed during the 15 years of the RJDs rule. The total number of scams would add up to over two dozen. The conduit for the latest swindle was a Panipat-based man Vinay Garg, who is as infamous as Santosh Jha, the kingpin of the flood relief swindle, he said.
The letter stated that procedures stipulated for the purchase of official supplies appear to have been violated by the export corporation which placed the order without inviting tenders. The letter pertains only to the Patna district for the supply of 1,13,216 blankets.
Summons to former judge
new delhi (PTI): A court on Wednesday issued summons to former Delhi High Court judge Shameet Mukherjee and four others, including the sacked Delhi Development Authority vice-chairman, Subhash Sharma, in the DDA land scam case.
Special judge H.P. Sharma, after taking cognisance of the detailed chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation on April 5, asked the accused to appear in the court on July 8.
The five have been charged with entering into a criminal conspiracy and indulging in corrupt practices. The case was registered on April 29, 2003.
The bureau alleged that Mukherjee had demanded a bribe to give a decision in favour of hotelier Vinod Khatri for building his restaurant in southwest Delhis posh Vasant Kunj area.
Middleman Dharambir Khattar, Khatri and Ashok Kapoor, the suspended personal secretary of Sharma, were also named in the chargesheet.
HC relief for Nana Patekar
mumbai (PTI): Bombay High Court has restrained police from arresting actor Nana Patekar for a week in a case of alleged assault on a businessman.
Justice R.S. Mohite directed the actor to appear before the Deonar police station where the case has been registered and to approach the sessions court for anticipatory bail. Apprehending arrest in a case registered by Utkarsh Morarka, Patekar had moved the high court seeking anticipatory bail. Morarka had alleged that the actor had threatened him with a gun.
Petitioner chided
jaipur (PTI): Rajasthan High Court has dismissed a Congress leaders petition requesting that he be allowed to continue as syndicate member of Rajasthan University and admonished him for making patently false statements. The registrar had cancelled Sharmas nomination as a syndicate member last July.
Naxalite attack
raipur (PTI): Ten policemen were injured when Naxalites raided a police outpost and ambushed a security vehicle on Tuesday in Chattisgarhs Narayanpur district. Three policemen were injured at the Dhodei outpost. The district superintendent of police and six policemen sustained injuries in a landmine explosion while they were on their way to the outpost. The injured have been hospitalised and will be taken to Raipur for further treatment.
Killer father
muzaffarnagar (PTI): Worried about getting her married off, a man allegedly poisoned his 15-year-old daughter in Uttar Pradeshs Bhokhahedi village. Imran later buried Sehrajfatima whose body was exhumed and sent for post-mortem after his wife lodged a complaint. Imran is absconding.
Uma flag case
hubli (PTI): A court has adjourned to June 10 the hearing on a revision petition filed against a lower courts order discharging Uma Bharti in a 1994 case. The case relates to violence during an agitation to hoist the Tricolour at the disputed Idgah Maidan.
The Garhwal Rifles regiments Ski Trishul Expedition 2005 will for the first time attempt to ski down the 7,120-metre high Mt. Trishul in Uttaranchal after climbing it next month.

Data Show Antitumor Activity With Sunitinib in Patients With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Irradiated Brain Metastases
Data Show Antitumor Activity With Sunitinib in Patients With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Irradiated Brain Metastases
Interim results from an open-label, phase II trial evaluating sunitinib malate (Sutent) showed progression free survival of 9.9 weeks in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with irradiated brain metastases, which occur in more than one-quarter of all NSCLC patients. These data were presented at the 13th Annual World Conference of Lung Cancer, held July 31–August 4, 2009, in San Francisco.
"We are encouraged by the antitumor activity and safety results we're seeing with sunitinib within this patient population who continue to face a poor prognosis and increased morbidity and mortality," said Dr. Silvia Novello, MD, PhD, Thoracic Oncology Unit, University of Turin, San Luigi Hospital, Orbassano, Italy. "These data support preclinical findings suggesting that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is required for the growth of brain metastases and that small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, like sunitinib, have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier."
Additional findings from the study show that sunitinib was well-tolerated, and there were no reports of intracranial hemorrhage. In 59 patients evaluated for safety, the most common grade 3/4 neurologic adverse events included convulsion (n = 1), mental impairment (n = 1) and peripheral motor neuropathy (n = 1). In this study, the most commonly reported treatment related grade 3/4 adverse events were fatigue (n = 5) and dyspnea (n = 6).
Sunitinib is currently approved for both gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after disease progression on or intolerance to imatinib mesylate (Gleevec), and advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) based on efficacy and safety data from large, randomized phase III clinical trials.
About the Study
NSCLC patients who had previously received whole-brain radiation therapy for brain metastases and less than two prior systemic therapies were eligible to receive single-agent sunitinib (37.5 mg/d) with continuous daily dosing in a 4-week cycle. The primary study endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).
In 53 patients evaluated for response, 12 patients experienced stable disease. As measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), median PFS was 9.9 weeks (95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.0–13.4) and median overall survival (OS) was 19.4 weeks (95% CI = 11.4–38.6). Preliminary data measuring intracranial antitumor activity, based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, indicated stable disease in 26% of patients (n = 10) and progressive disease in 18% of patients (n = 7).

Has anyone successfully overclocked their mp3 computers?? examples??
No announcement yet.

overclocking carputers.:@m֧p��:.winamp.win98.pentiumII.10gigTags: None
I was thinking of trying to overclock my athlon 550 but figured it would get unstable and hot in the car.

I believe that if you do a search through the examples on this site, the Mazda MobileMP3 maker has a Celeron [email protected] running in one of his vehicles. However, I personally think that unless you need the extra speed, you should run the processor at normal speed, and lower the voltage as much as you can (before the CPU becomes unstable). Lowering the voltage drops the CPU temps, and is easier (and quieter) than installing bigger heatsinks and more fans.
I'm sure people have, but why would you want to?

"If one more body-kitted, cut-spring-lowered, farty-exhausted Civic revs on me at an intersection, I swear I'm going to get out of my car and cram their ridiculous double-decker aluminium wing firmly up their rump."
Dont want to overclock mine just want to know if anyone else has.....:@m֧p��:.winamp.win98.pentiumII.10gig
Unless you want to play Quake in your car, don't bother.
how fast do u think a athlon 550 computer could get to without going unstable some ppl told me 850 i thought that would rock. I dont think i need it but it would sound neat lol

Yes, an athlon 550 could run at 850, but you'd need a massive cooling system. If you're interested in doing anything like that (for your home, it'd never work in the car) check out www.virtualhideout.net and look at some of the custom water and air cooled cases.
My t-bird 1000 is running at 1200 right now no problems, but I have 6 fans in my system.
Mp3_Truck, do you have a classic Athlon? Those require a Gold Finger Device to overclock, in addition to better cooling.
Anyway, some quick overclocking / cooling tips (in case you didn't know ):
1) Take the pad off your heatsink if it has one. Clean the surface using nail polish remover, and use thermal grease instead. Even the cheapest thermal grease works better than the pad, but I use Arctic Silver premium grease. You can get thermal grease from www.2cooltek.com or www.plycon.com .
2) Get a better bigger heatsink for your processor. You can get one from those cooling sites.
3) If the computer doesn't run at the overclocked speed, bump the voltage up in small increments. Once it's stable, stop. General rule is that you don't want to raise the voltage 10% over default, although people go higher with more unorthodox cooling methods (e.g. mineral oil submersion).
4) If you do have an Athlon classic, and it's not running at a certain speed no matter what the voltage, it may be the L2 cache. Use a larger divider, and try again.
5) Once you have found a stable speed/voltage setting, go to www.tweakfiles.com and get some CPU hlt issuing program. I have Rain 2.0. It's free, it works. I don't recommend using this program while you are still finding a stable overclocked speed because it might run stable while idle, but crash when you start using it.
My overclocking experience:
Celeron [email protected] - Ran at 960, but I was edgy about 1.95 volts, and 103 was the next FSB step down.
2 X Celeron [email protected] - Could have gone higher, but they weren't for me.
Duron [email protected] - FOP-32 heatsink/fan & Arctic Silver
P3 [email protected] - NOT the coppermine core, pain in the ***.
it sounds like to much work just to gain a faster cpu for the truck cause 550 is way past requirements. so i dont think ill overclock. lol.
and yes its a slot a athlon the older ones.

I guess it depends on what you are trying to do in your car. My 233 with 64Megs ram plays MP3s and runs the GPS simultaneously.
However it would really bog down with some of those fancy visuals y'all are putting on the monitor. (I can't hardly run the one that comes with winamp 2.67)
Speaking of that the one I like best so far is the default one on Win Mediaplayer 7. (I am sure there is one like that for winamp)
I ran my Celeron 300A on an Abit BH6 @ 464 MHz in the car for about 6 months and had no problems, even with very little cooling other than the cpu fan and heatsink.
personally I would keep that to the desktops, and even then if your not a games junkie then why would you bother.... I would rather my PC's are stable than hot and tempremental......
espically with the heat the car interiror can reach, overclocking should be the furtherest from your minds... !Project - GAME OVER :(
Well, in my case, the cpu could hit 504 with good cooling...But at 464 it was completely stable, the only reason I ran it so high was to play the Final Burn emulator a lil' bit better

This rare and distinctive residence is unique to 1020 Fifth Avenue. There is virtually nothing else which compares to it - now or ever, on the market - all the way up and down Fifth Avenue. The building's architects, Warren & Wetmore, designed 6 of its 13 apartments with "rooms of noble proportions," as the 1925 sales brochure stated. These 6 have a 20 by 40 foot "salon," with a ceiling height of 18 feet. The eighth floor apartment includes one such treasured salon, facing Fifth Avenue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There were 14 original rooms, the others with ceiling heights of 10 feet, including 4-5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 5 staff rooms, formal dining room, kitchen, corner library with a magnificent southern and western outlook, and 4 fireplaces. While the eighth floor apartment has been updated, it has not traded for decades and maintains a vast array of prewar details. It was featured on the cover of Architectural Digest, following a renovation by the world renowned architect and designer Peter Marino, highlighting his dramatic Louis XV-style paneling in the salon. As currently configured, the apartment has 9 rooms, with 4 bathrooms and 2 powder rooms. One staff room remains, while 2 have been incorporated into the master suite and 2 others into a fourth bedroom now setup as a gym. The primary public rooms and bedrooms are true to the original floor plan. The apartment is in excellent condition and awaits its new 21st century owners.
Additional features of this property include: Dogs Require Board Approval and The Building is Landmarked.

Strict co-ops (some with incredible Central Park views) continue to prevail in the Upper East Side from Park to Fifth Avenues, but there are plenty of studios, one- and two-bedroom condos, and rentals on the Upper East Side as well. New luxury condo buildings include 20 East End Avenue, inspired by the pre-war architecture of the Upper East Side, and Citizen360 which is committed to sustainable building practices.

With only thirteen apartments in total, this is one of the finest buildings on Fifth Avenue. It is markedly distinct from its neighbors, with a limestone façade and six giant banks of windows running up the side. This is because the architects, Warren and Wetmore, developed an intricate system of staggered floors to give six of the apartments "rooms of truly noble proportions." They feature grand 20 by 40 foot "salons" with 18 foot ceiling heights. All of the apartments have generous room sizes, and each have three to five bedrooms and three to five staff rooms originally.

We hope for a no-kill community in which the lives of cats are valued and respected and where abandoned, lost, or feral cats are not viewed as a nuisance but as beings that may need our assistance and care.
We are working to create a low-cost spay/neuter and vaccination clinic for Knox County and surrounding communities.
Our primary goal is to one day have a compassionate, no-kill cat shelter in Knox County.

The Rubicon Revisited: A Reexamination of South Africa's Transition from Apartheid to Democracy
South Africa's transition from Apartheid to democracy is a miracle case of national, racial and ethnic reconciliation within a deeply divided society. South Africa avoided the predictions of an 'inevitable' bloodbath, instead staging a bloodless revolution. But why and how did this miracle happen? This paper proposes that South Africa's miraculous transition began in the mid-1980s – when Apartheid was, arguably, at its height of hegemonic control – with President P.W. Botha's constitutional re-engineering. The Botha administration unintentionally 'crossed the Rubicon' from racial and ethnic separation to complete integration through their cosmetic reforms to Apartheid's political apparatus. These reforms deliberately re-imagined South Africa as a country of ethnic minorities rather than a land of racial majorities in order to strengthen white rule. But this re-imagining had the opposite effect of cracking Apartheid's edifice while Botha's reforms had the contradictory effects of (i) entrenching Apartheid's policy of 'apartness', and, more importantly, (ii) opening up the channels of racial integration and cooperation under the guise of a new cooperative, confederal, interethnic political structure. Although an enduring symbol of Apartheid, the fact remains that Botha was the first Apartheid President to permit the very early stages of integration that laid the groundwork for democracy.
