PHS Tree Tenders Basic Training
The acclaimed PHS Tree Tenders program offers affordable, hands-on training in tree planting and care in the five-county Philadelphia region, and affiliated trainings take place across Pennsylvania. It has trained more than 4,000 volunteers who have been responsible for the planting of more than 20,000 trees in Philadelphia and surrounding municipalities. The program is also a vital element of PHS Plant One Million, the multi-state tree campaign to replenish the tree population of 13 counties in the Greater Philadelphia region, southern New Jersey and Delaware.

Tree Tenders works alongside local tree agencies, leveraging resources and extending the impact of municipal tree stewardship.

As the number of Americans tipping the obesity scale grows, another battle over the bulges has emerged: How much should public policy control the collective diet?
The paleolithic diet has sparked plenty of discussion in the nutrition world (and on this web site) in the last few months. Lots of people are looking for advice on how to get in on this meat and vegetable-centric way of eating that claims inspiration from the simple wild foods a hunter-gatherer might have been lucky to find.
Two million years ago, tree bark was a tasty treat.
Originally published on Wed June 6, 2012 11:24 am
By now the paleo diet and lifestyle has inched from the fringe a little closer to the mainstream, thanks to some very passionate followers sold on the notion that our Paleolithic hunter-gatherer ancestors avoided modern day ailments like obesity and diabetes because they ate what some consider an "ideal" diet of meat, fruit and veget

In the late summer of 2007, a fifty-year-old former barber named Siu Yun Ping began making regular visits from his village, in Hong Kong, to the city of Macau, the only Chinese territory where it is legal to gamble in a casino. Macau sits on a horn of rocky coastline, where the Pearl River washes into the South China Sea. It's about a third the size of Manhattan, covering a tropical peninsula and a pair of islands that look, on a map, like crumbs flaking off the mainland. Chairman Mao banned gambling in China long ago, but it endures in Macau because of a wrinkle of history: the city was a Portuguese colony for nearly five hundred years, and when it returned to Chinese control, in 1999, it was entitled to retain some of the flamboyantly libertine traditions that led W. H. Auden to christen it "a weed from Catholic Europe." The infusion of China's new riches triggered an unprecedented surge of construction, and by 2006 Macau's casino revenues had surpassed those of Las Vegas, until then the world's largest gambling town. Today, the quantity of money passing through Macau exceeds that of Las Vegas five times over.
Siu Yun Ping—or Brother Ping, as friends called him—had known little good fortune. He grew up in the tin-roofed hut of a squatters' settlement on the mudflats of rural Hong Kong. The year he was born, a fatal flood swept through the neighborhood; subsequent years brought drought, then typhoons. "It was as though the gods wished to destroy us by driving us mad," a local official recalled in his memoirs. Siu had five siblings, and his education ended in primary school. When he wasn't cutting hair, he found employment as a tailor and a construction worker. Gambling was technically illegal in Hong Kong, but, as in many Chinese communities, it was a low-key fixture of life, and, by the age of nine, he was pushing his way into the crowd to watch local card games. At thirteen, he was playing for small stakes, and an underground gambling den hired him to hang around and keep an eye on the players' hands. "I'm good at observing people's movements," he told me recently. "Whenever I saw someone cheating, I told the boss."
As an adult, he continued to play cards, though with little success. He was an unglamorous presence—trim and wiry, with plump cheeks, bushy hair, and the fast, watchful eyes of a man accustomed to looking out for himself. He married at nineteen, had three children, divorced, and married again. Around his home village, Fuk Hing, which means Celebrating Fortune, he was also known by a nickname that he did not much care for: Lang Tou Ping, or Inveterate Gambler Ping.
While working as a barber, he befriended a skinny local teen-ager named Wong Kam-ming. Wong had grown up in the same district, one of the poorest in Hong Kong, and had also dropped out of school to find work. They occasionally met for supper at a café where Wong worked for his mother. Siu was trying to become a small-town developer, building and selling houses among the paddy fields near his village, and Wong opened his own restaurant. They didn't see each other often, but Siu said that they were "like brothers." They became especially close in recent years, when Wong began working on the side in Macau, as a "junket agent," recruiting gamblers, giving them lines of credit, and earning commissions on how much they bet. One of the people he recruited was Siu.
Once or twice a week, Siu boarded the public ferry for an hour-long trip across the rolling gray waters of the Pearl River estuary. Seventy thousand people turned up each day to try their luck, more than half of them from mainland China. He had no illusions about whether his habit was in his favor. "Out of every ten people who gamble, maybe three will win," Siu said. "And when those three keep on gambling only one will win." He played baccarat, the Chinese gamblers' favorite. (It offers slightly better odds than the alternatives, and is easy to master.) The punto banco style, favored in Macau, involves no skill; the result is determined as soon as the cards are dealt.
In August of 2007, within weeks of beginning his regular trips, Siu hit a hot streak. Some days, he won thousands of dollars. Others, he took home hundreds of thousands. With Wong's recommendation, he was invited into opulent V.I.P. rooms, which are open only to the biggest bettors, and he became a regular on the high rollers' helicopter trips across the water. The more he played, the more Wong earned in commissions and tips. As winter approached, Siu's success set in motion a chain of events that eventually reached Las Vegas and showed why Macau is a place where it's easy to get in over your head, whether you're a former barber in Hong Kong or one of the richest men in America.
Gambling towns are shrines to self-invention. In the eighteen-sixties, Monaco was a tiny backwater in financial distress after losing most of its land to France; then it built a casino, and became one of the world's wealthiest places. Las Vegas was a desert outpost battered by sandstorms and flash floods—a land that the "Lord had forgotten," in the view of nineteenth-century Mormon missionaries, who abandoned it—before it grew into the city that now attracts more people each year than Mecca. Hal Rothman, the late historian of the American West, wrote that Las Vegas posed the same question to every visitor: "What do you want to be, and what will you pay to be it?"

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.

Do you have a question about your child's health? This section offers information that may help you.
View age-appropriate health information for your child.
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Burns are a type of injury caused by thermal, electrical, chemical, or electromagnetic energy. Most burn accidents occur at home. About 75 percent of all burn injuries in children are preventable.
Smoking and open flame are the leading causes of burn injury for older adults, while scalding is the leading cause of burn injury for children. Both infants and the elderly are at the greatest risk for burn injury.
A burn injury usually results from an energy transfer to the body. There are many types of burns caused by thermal, radiation, chemical, or electrical contact:
Thermal burns. Burns due to external heat sources which raise the temperature of the skin and tissues and cause tissue cell death or charring. Hot metals, scalding liquids, steam, and flames, when coming in contact with the skin, can cause thermal burns.
Radiation burns. Burns caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun, or to other sources of radiation such as X-ray.
Chemical burns. Burns caused by strong acids, alkalies, detergents, or solvents coming into contact with the skin and/or eyes.
Electrical burns. Burns from electrical current, either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

About Me
Born October 1st 1983, I started gaming on the Atari 2600 playing Battle Tanks with my brother. I had a short stint at console gaming after that with the NES and SNES before my parents outlawed console gaming, so I went to PC gaming. The game that got me hooked on gaming was probably the original Warcraft, which was followed by a string of games during the golden era of PC gaming:
- Quake (including TF, MegaTF, and TF Rocket Jump maps) Joined my first clan Apocalyptic Daemon Knights as ADK~PinkPanther. Started out on Mplayer then switched to Gamespy later.
- Command and Conquer Red Alert (online via Mplayer)
- Warcraft II (online via Kali)
- Ultima Online
- Diablo (Guild of Honor and Clan Krieger)
- Starcraft (Collective of the Four Elements as C4ESaith). Later got SCBW but didn't play it very much.
- Everquest and Everquest II
- TFC via Half Life
- Warcraft III (mostly custom games like DotA, Island Defense, WinterMaul One/Solo, and the Black Road)
- Played Halo 3 briefly with coworkers
After this SC2 came out and I discovered vVv via Rigid's stream. After a couple months I decided to apply to the Starcraft 2 division, and was able to get accepted. Since then I have held various positions including SC2 Community Manager and SC2 Division Manager. As the SC2 Division manager I have made decisions on sponsoring players for MLG events, reviewed applications, performed pre-interviews, coordinated our original Academy program, assisted BabyToss with the development of the Aspire program, and moderated our SC2 forum.

- Created 7/8/13 by Melanie Mayo
By Sheryl Paul There's so much we don't tell new mothers. As with all transitions, our culture presents a skewed image of motherhood which falls into two diametrically opposed categories. On the one hand, we expect motherhood to be a Huggies commercial where mother, father, and baby are swathed in a pastel, diffused light, blissfully enjoying their transition without a blemish or challenge to be found. On the other hand, our culture presents an image of endless martyrdom and meaningless sacrifice where new mothers lose all of their independence... read more

by Michael Soulé
Spring 2003
Fifty years ago, the earth's human population was half of today's six billion. Large tracts of roadless tropical and temperate forests and savannas still survived, as did unspoiled coastlines and estuaries, unexploited fisheries and healthy populations of gorillas, rhinos, lemurs, sea turtles and frogs. Now, the explosion of our numbers, commercial globalization and the invention of new technologies for land clearing, agriculture and fishing have changed all this, with dire consequences for nature and wildlife.
In the more productive and biologically rich parts of the planet, development has cleaved nature into isolated remnants – forest reserves, national parks or remaining but vulnerable wildlands. But most of these fragments are degraded, overhunted and laced with roads that accelerate further exploitation and destruction. The rarest animals are among the first to disappear in these island-like fragments. Some of these species, such as jaguars or wolves, are critical ecological actors, or what are called keystone species. Where keystone carnivores disappear, entire ecosystems can collapse. Those species that survive this collapse may not persist for long if their populations are small. Small populations are vulnerable to random events like hurricanes, droughts and inbreeding. Over time, more and more species disappear, until there is little left but a lonely silence.
Fortunately, conservation biologists know how to arrest and even reverse this kind of ecological disintegration. First, restore the severed connections between the isolated bits of nature at both local and continental scales; second, repatriate the keystone species; third, enlarge and rehabilitate the most pristine areas so that they contain all of the original habitats, including free-flowing rivers, unpolluted lakes and the full range of species interactions. All this is what we call "rewilding." Fourth, control the most damaging exotic species. Simple, but not easy. Is such a bold, ambitious project realistic at a continental scale?
In 1991, a group of activists and scientists founded the Wildlands Project. The goal was to link up wildlands from Mexico to the Yukon, from Florida to Newfoundland, from Baja California to the Brooks Range and the Bering Sea. Connections to the North Woods, the Great Plains and great northern boreal forest would also be re-created.
People called the vision "delusional," a hallucination of romantics. Ten years later, however, the basic concepts are mainstream. The idea of rewilding continents, by restoring the keystone species and healing other wounds to our lands and waters, has been widely adopted by the conservation community because it is the only realistic prescription for preserving entire faunas and floras. Internationally, partners such as The Wilderness Society (of Australia) are adapting the vision to other continents.
The volume Continental Conservation: Scientific Foundations of Regional Reserve Networks (1999, Island Press) sped the adoption of the rewilding vision by summarizing the critical role of keystone species and arguing for the restoration of landscape linkages that had been severed by poor land-use practices.

Yotam Ottolenghi's Sweet Corn Polenta with Eggplant Sauce
Author Notes: In its entirety, this is a recipe that works and is really, really good. But it's also full of ideas you can parcel out as you see fit -- namely: polenta doesn't have to be born out of dry goods. Fresh corn, cooked quickly, breaks down to a sweet soup in the food processor. Adapted slightly from Ottolenghi's Plenty (Chronicle Books, 2011).
- Genius Recipes
Serves 4
Eggplant Sauce
- 2/3 cups vegetable oil
- 1 medium eggplant, cut into 3/4-inch dice
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chopped peeled tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 6 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped oregano
- Heat up the oil in a large saucepan and fry the eggplant on medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until nicely brown. Drain off as much oil as you can and discard it -- the safest way to do this is to scoop out the eggplant to a plate using a slotted spoon, then pour off the oil into a bowl before added the eggplant back in. You can save the oil to fry lamb chops or eggs in tomorrow.
- Add the tomato paste to the pan and stir with the eggplant. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, water, salt, sugar and oregano and cook for a further 5 minutes to get a deep-flavored sauce. Set aside; warm it up when needed.
- 6 ears of corn
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons butter, diced
- 7 ounces feta, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper
- Remove the leaves and "silk" from each ear of corn, then chop off the pointed top and stalk. Use a sharp knife to shave off the kernels -- either stand each ear upright on its base and shave downward, or lay each ear on its side on a cutting board to slice off the kernels. You want to have 1 1/4 pounds kernels.
- Place the kernels in a medium saucepan and barely cover them with the water. Cook for 12 minutes on a low simmer. Use a slotted spoon to lift the kernels from the water and into a food processor; reserve the cooking liquid.
- Process them for quite a few minutes, to break as much of the kernel case as possible. Add some of the cooking liquid if the mixture becomes too dry to process.
- Now return the corn paste to the pan with the cooking liquid and cook, while stirring, on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to mashed potato consistency. (Be aware that if you have a lot of liquid left in the pan, it can take a while to cook down the polenta, and it will sputter. Consider holding back some or all of the liquid. Alternately, if you like the consistency after processing, you can skip to step 5.)
- Fold in the butter, the feta, salt and some pepper and optionally cook for a further 2 minutes. Taste and add more salt if needed.

For tomorrow i will be serving the eggplant recipe on the cover of his book Plenty, and this one will be on my next week menus!! Can't wait, YUMMY!!

Oh yum! I made this tonight for book club and it was a big hit. Who knew polenta was so easy and delicious. Confession, I used frozen sweet organic corn from Trader Joe's.
8 months ago Reneesworld
This was divine! I did not use that much Feta: just about one ounce or so for two of us. The eggplant tomato sauce is spectacular.
8 months ago Donna
I made a vegan version of the polenta by using dairy free margarine and replacing feta with 1tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (for the cheesy flavour). Yum loved it and recommending the above recipe to friends and family.

I've been making this fresh corn polenta for a couple of years now and everyone loves it. Last night we had it with platters of Johnny Cakes, Bacon and fresh Tomatoes. Summer!!!

Wondering if this is allowed to sit will it become thick enough to slice???
9 months ago Lisa Wehr
Would it be possible to cook the ears whole and then cut off the kernels and process them? I know it wouldn't come out the same weight, but it seems easier to do than than cook the kernels and fish them out with a slotted spoon.

I've never tried it, but it would probably work -- you may need to add splashes of the cooking liquid while processing. Alternately, rather than fishing out the kernels, you can also just strain the kernels over a bowl, reserving the broth in case you want to add any back in.

Made this last night. Delish!! We licked our plates clean. I used 1.5 cups of water to cook the kernels and added the whole amount back, but prob could have used less, as it took awhile to cook down. And used half the butter. Was still very rich and yummy.

I made this twice last week with fresh vegetables from my garden. As long as fresh corn is available, I will never again use dried polenta. This had such a wonderful, sweet corn flavor! The second time I made it I topped it with crispy fried scallions, toasted almond pieces and some lime zest. I then drizzled a small amount of sriracha marinade I had made for chicken skewers over the polenta. It was a delicious confluence of east meets mediterranean. The possibilities are endless.

made this the other day was amazing!!!

Normally I think of polenta with a tomato sauce as being a heavy, winter-time dish. It was nice to see this fresh, summer version highlighting seasonal produce. I will definitely be returning to this recipe throughout the summer.
10 months ago iflamm
I made this today with frozen corn out of necessity - it worked! Instead of the eggplant sauce, I served Food 52's Swearing Like A Sailor Stuffed Eggplant over the polenta. Excellent!
over 1 year ago cookbookchick
I made this yesterday with small ears of corn that were very sweet and not starchy, so based on comments posted here, I cut the water to 1 1/2 cups. Worked perfectly! I also weighed the corn as I stripped the ears to get the required amount. We ate the leftover ears for dinner. Tonight I will finish off the polenta with the butter and cheese, reheat the eggplant sauce I also made yesterday, and we will feast.

Could I prep the polenta to step 3 ahead of time and pick it up at step 4 after my guests arrive? I worry about the polenta sitting for a while affecting the texture, but if that's not the case it would be wonderful to do as much in advance as possible!

Yes, you could definitely do that, although cooking down the puree in step 4 can be the most time-consuming part (depending on how much liquid you add back). I think you'd also be fine doing step 4 in advance. You may just need to add in a bit more liquid as you reheat, and adjust the seasoning to taste. Hope you like it!
over 1 year ago EmmaC
This recipe is so delicious! I substituted eggplant with sauteed shitake mushrooms. Instead of creating the sauce, I added a bit of tomato paste to the corn polenta. I also did not have to use any cooking liquid in the polenta reduction. It turned out delicious! Definitely going in my "go-to dish" list.
over 1 year ago Mjhanlon
This is a fabulous summer side especially with very fresh sweet corn. I sliced the eggplant lengthwise and brushed generously with EV olive oil and baked at 450 for about 25 minutes and then diced and followed rest of the recipe.
over 1 year ago mommysinthekitchen
5 ears of corn yielded less than a pound. nevertheless i followed suggestions from comments and added only a tad of the cornwater back after processing. the consistency was perfect, but i actually found the polenta to be too sweet! anyone else?
over 1 year ago pixielated
I had 3 ears of corn and a 1/2 cup of dried polenta in my pantry, so I decided to use this recipe as a basis for using them both up. First, I prepared the dried polenta with a couple cups of water, stirring for about an hour, like my grandma used to do. I poured that polenta into a bowl, and used the same pot to prepare the fresh corn with these instructions. After pureeing the cooked corn, I simply mixed it together with the prepared polenta, added my salt, butter and cheese, and voila! Super creamy, super sweet. Thanks for the idea to use fresh! I think I'll always mix these two from now on...
over 1 year ago lschmoyer
This was a terrific way to use super fresh veggies. My corn was very fresh and juicy, so I didn't add any water back before cooking to thicken. I can't wait to make this again!
Like another user, my eggplant soaked up more oil than I expected. Is there a trick or technique for preventing eggplant from absorbing so much oil? Perhaps warming the oil to a higher temperature?
about 1 year ago Cathy Gordon
You can coat it with egg white.
over 1 year ago sparklingsapphire
I found that some of the amounts were way off in the recipe. I weighed my corn kernels and had more like 2 1/2 lbs. from 6 ears, not 1 1/4. My ears were on the large side, but I can't imagine how small they'd have to be to yield only 1 1/4 lbs. Secondly, since I had so much corn, I increased the water to ~4 cups. After pureeing, my corn was so liquidy that I returned it to the pot without any of the cooking liquid and it took a full HOUR of simmering to thicken to the point of being edible.
Up until the point when it took quadruple the time expected to cook the polenta, everything else came to gether quickly and easily. I decreased both the butter and cheese a bit, and it turned out delicious, and was great and unique way to use fresh summer corn, eggplant, and tomatoes. I'll definitely make it again, although with some major adjustments next time.
over 1 year ago JORJ
I had a similar problem when I tried to thicken my corn... I ended up giving up and just deciding it was corn soup... pretty good anyway! Then I made pasta and tossed that with the topping instead. I wonder if it is about the starch content -- the corn I had was super sweet and I wonder if the corn they use in this is starchier...

Thanks for your comments -- I just added a note to the recipe about this step, so that hopefully more people can avoid the extended stirring phase!

Photo gallery: Arcadia-San Marino Division 2 girls tennis final
CLAREMONT - Arcadia High School girls tennis coach Jerry Dohling wanted to get an early jump on San Marino in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 tennis championships on Friday.
Instead, San Marino got the jump on the Apaches at The Claremont Club.
The top-seeded Titans easily disposed of the second-seeded Apaches, 14-4, to claim their 11th girls tennis title and third in the last four years.
"This one is more special," San Marino senior Dorothy Tang said. "I really wanted it this year. I wanted to end my high school tennis season with a bang.
"It feels amazing."
Dohling moved his lineups around. No. 1 singles player Francis Dean played at No. 3. The No. 1 doubles team of Elizabeth Lieu and Annie Tung moved to No. 2.
"We wanted to get off to a good start," said Dohling, who likely coached his final Arcadia team in 41 years at the school. "Our goal at the end of the first round was 3-3 and we wanted to try to build on that. It didn't happen."
The Apaches will have to earn an at-large invitation to next week's first CIF State regional tournament to keep playing.
"We got clearly outplayed," Dohling said. "They were better than us right from the get-go. They deserve to be the CIF champion."
San Marino won four of the six first-round matches, with the No. 3 San Marino team of Andrea Klein and Aliki Kvitne scoring a 6-2 win over Ashley Gao and Tiffany Hsieh.
"I did not expect our No. 3 team to win," San Marino coach Melwin Pereira said.
"When our No. 2 doubles lost to No. 3 early," Dohling said, "it put us behind and made it almost impossible to come back."
San Marino swept the doubles in the second roun as, Rio Hondo League champions Larissa Phillips and Madeleine Gandawidjaja defeated Pacific League champs Elizabeth Lieu and Annie Tung, 6-3.
"They did not play straight up and it hurt them in the second round," Pereira said. "Our girls know in life there are two sides of a coin. When you do something, you give something away. The second round we really punished them. Five points in the second round was huge."
The Titans had a commanding 9-3 lead over the Apaches, who were playing in their first CIF-SS championship match in 20 years, after the second round of play.
"A lot of doubles players stepped it up," said Phillips, who like Tang, won her third CIF-SS title. "We did really well in doubles.
"We knew it was going to be tough and Madeleine and I were playing tough."
The highly anticipated matchup between Rio Hondo League champion Dorothy Tang and Pacific League champion Francis Dean, both of whom are among the top players in Southern California juniors, did not happen until the final round with the Titans firmly in control of the match.
Dean broke Tang in the first game, but the Princeton-bound Tang won the remaining games for a 6-1 victory.
"I was really focused on just not miss and just playing smart and moving her around," Tang said. "I was just playing my game."
It reversed a Dean victory in a USTA regional tournament two weeks ago.
"I have no idea what happened," Dean said. "It was a bad match, I guess."
Tang also defeated Apaches freshmen Angelica Zhou and Sharlene Song 6-0 and 6-0.
Phillips and Gandawidjaja also scored a sweep by defeating Christine Gao and Janice Kim, 6-0 and 6-0, and Ashley Gao and Tiffany Hsieh, 6-1 and 6-1.
Dean defeated Devon Jack, 6-0 and Vivian Le, 6-1. Lieu and Tung rallied to defeat Lauren Chang and Monique Gandawidjaja, 6-4, and Klein and Kvitne, 6-2. Chang and Monique Gandawidjaja also defeated Christine Gao and Kim, 7-6 (7-5), in the final match of the day.
The state regional tournament is scheduled to start on Tuesday with quarterfinals and semifinals on Thursday at The Claremont Club and the finals next Friday at the facility. Sixteen teams from the Southern, San Diego, L.A. and Central sections will be invited. The CIF-SS had eight berths and there are two at-large spots available.

salut all!
warp is term used to describe rapid unrealistic shift of online game
it looks like opponent jumps aside say being in airplane for example by 50-5000 meters (in game world distances), that is known to fly straight forward with quite smooth maneuvers.
usually it happens when player or opponent has unstable tcp/ip ping
if player has long but constant ping, say 800ms, it does not cause warps.
player (or opponent) must have unstable traffic to game server, say varying from 10ms to 1200ms. with some packet loss probably.
i witnessed warps even in delta force when LAN hub went mad and added a huge lag. opponent appeared 10 meters left, disappeared and appeared 10meters right and so on. actually all he did is doing one step left and one step right.
in online avialimulators sometime microwarps (±20m) can be found when attacked opponent really does not want to be hit by pursuer and he performs a trick named "joystick jerking", causing online client to send to server a twisted coordinates.
generally the picture in online games is that player sends his coordinates on a regular basis, 1, 2, 4, 10 times per second or so. server performs broadcasting to other players occasioned nearby in visible range. so we have a sequense of coordinates marked by server-side receiving time stamp. in some cases in coordinates packet a playstation time can be found.
i will speak from the server programmer point of view.
so, here is the question.
where should i start searching algorythms for smoothing such warps having server code in my hands?
i mean (except discarding outdated tcp/ip packets with coordinates) i'd like to make a smooth trajectory of any player, whether he has good, bad connection or jerks the stick.
i tried 3-degree polynome extrapolation based on last 1 second of
(in spreadsheet calculations)
but this method adds an artificial lag, so when player evades from attack, others see it after the same 1 second.
thank you beforehand.

Fishing The Ocean From Shore - Rock Fishing Fro...
Mar 29 2012 05:41 PM | Capt. Garry in Ocean Fishing From Shore, Great Shore fishing tips
Fishing for rock fish from shore is a great way to enjoy a day of fishing at the ocean with very little expense or hassle. Rock fishing from shore usually will yield you a good meal or two of fine tasting fresh fish and some days your shore fishing efforts will amaze you! I have gone fishing for rock fish from the shore one day and caught my limit and gone the next day and caught four. But, seldom has there been a day when my shorefishing efforts didn't pay off enough for at least dinner. You can try fishing from beaches, but don't expect much. Rockfishing is where most of the fish are caught except for perch most of the time. The best bait for catching rock fish is also the free kind. We will discuss what kind of bait to use for fishing from the shore of the ocean for rock fish a little later along with where to fish for rock fish from the shore. Also, make sure you read this killer article on catching rock fish and eels with a "poke pole"!

How To Catch Surf Perch and Surf Perch Fishing...
Mar 29 2012 04:16 PM | Capt. Garry in Ocean Fishing From Shore, Great Shore fishing tips
How to catch surf perch and how to surf fish from a beach is much the same question as the surf perch such as the rubber lip, red tail, shiner, silver, and barred perch are the main fish that you will catch when surf fishing on a beach. You will run across the occasional stingray and even a shark once in a while, but in reality, you mostly are catching surf perch when fishing on the beach from my experience. The ling cod, Cabazon, and other bottom fish like to hang out in the rocky areas and there is a great article on shorefishing for those here. Catching crab on the beaches is a common occurrence as well.

How to Fish The Ocean From Shore - Where, The B...
Apr 06 2012 06:27 PM | Capt. Garry in Ocean Fishing From Shore, Great Shore fishing tips
