Holding Breath As a Sniper (Regular Scope)
Like (0)
What is your guy's take on holding breath as a sniper? Should you hold breath for every kill? Should you use it when you need that perfect shot? Should you use it at all? Tell me what you guys think below!
Im not very good with sniper (still learning,never tried it before 3rd stige)
But when i used AS50 with regular scope i dont hold my breath except when the target is standing so i want to give him a headshot.
What's your sensitivity? I think I hold my breath too much, that is why I'm asking this question.
i think it also depends on your sesibility if u use wiimote and use the W@W scooping sesnsibility u at first have to hold breath but when you get used to it its no problem and with the MWR style you dont have to hold breath at all hope this is usefull to you
Yeah, thanks for the input, I'll test this out later.
I think you should hold your breath only when you are dragscoping when you are quickscoping dont hold your breath. and NEVER hardscop

[[GENIUS]] when dragscooping what you need is speed not stay in one place
but yea after that youre rigth
yeah now that i think about it your right!
you see and one more thing if you are goign to use ACOG u better use it to get a headshot only game cuz acog if for noob snipers if i use acog i dont die lot like with normal scoope so resuming if u use acog= headshot only game
Never hardscope? That's how you're supposed to play with a sniper... plus you can't quickscope super effectively with wii remote anyways.
you can but you have to reduce your reaction time and you aiming time and thats all trust me
I know its possible, but its much harder than the ps360 versions.
When I'm sniping (which is not too often) I tend to hold my breath for about a second right before I take the shot, to gain a bit of accuracy. I don't think you should hold your breath all the time, as it slows down movement and aiming.
Yeah i do this a ton, I feel like that's how it should be done xD.
I never hold my breath unless the target is head glitching from a distance. All you need is steady hands. Stability might help as well.

this .D
You're ccp correct? Its harder to steady your aim with the wii remote so yeah...
I use the wiimote. I prefer it over the ccp because my hands are pretty steady when I snipe. However, ccp easily beats wiimote for sniping because you can quickscope easier. I 1v1ed a ccp sniper, and I went 10-30... The guy was recording, so I'm gonna watch the vid once he posts it lol.
I always thought you were a ccp sniper xD! Yeah a good ccp sniper has the advantage on a good wii remote sniper, but he can still be beaten! With a little bit of practice in sniper only private matches you could probably do better too, I sucked at first and I'm a tad better now although I don't really like sniper only private matches.
I prefer pub matches because I always choke in tight situations in a private match.
Always hold your breath before taking the shot, this is necessary for a much more accurite shot. Do it a second before taking the shot, so hold your breath quick then fire. You're more likely to get the kill like that.
(Of course you can also hold your breath to steady your aim, but if you have steady hands like mine then you wouldn't need to hold your breath long)
I use the classic controller, and if you dont have reduced sway, it would probably be a good idea.
Vamp you need to log on sometime xD we've never played in pub! Again thanks for the advice, that's what I usually do just checking to see if other people hold breath in the same way I do.
I dont if I get into a heated battle I just aim really good.
Im a decent sniper imo, and thats because i use ACOG scope on my MSR. Im never good at hardscoping- so i use Marksman with my ACOG. I dont usually use the normal scope, but when i do trying to level up to get the ACOG scope, i hold my breath -till my soldier turns blue- cause im trying to line up the shot. I hold it for as long as possible, every time a kill comes my way.
Thanks for input everyone, anyone else got anything else to share?
Yes, Wii mote = Not so comfortable for sniping/
Classic Controller = Very comfortable
It's the complete oppisite for me.
Well yeah wii mote is comfortable with sniper only if you use Acog. my opinion.
Ew acog lol. I can't stand using acog, it's not comfortable. Reg scope is so fun to use because you can drag scope so smoothly. I think that ads reach has something to do with comfort because I can't snipe with the reach all the way up. I have my ads reach set halfway, and sniping feels smoother.
I've never used ACOG once in my sniping career. I love the Wiimote for scopes.
Its also the opposite for me because I only use the wii remote. I've tried ccp sniping before and it would probably be pretty easy to do once I got it down, but I'd rather wii remote snipe! I kinda wish you could quickscope with the wii sometimes to get me out of sticky situations though lol.
For some reason I always hold breath when I ads with a sniper. It might not be the best idea or the most successful, but i guess my reasoning for it is that when I ads at someone they are generally already in the center of my crosshairs so minimal adjustment is needed. Holding breath probably isnt actually "needed" though unless the guy is far away. Just my take on it.
Ty for answering, that's pretty much what I do xD. I think I should not be using it when targets are closer as you need more time to adjust your shot and holding breath slows your aim significantly. That's probably something I could improve on.

Tropical Storm Barry Forms
Data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters this afternoon indicates that Tropical Storm Barry has formed in the extreme southern Gulf of Mexico. The aircraft measured winds at their flight level of 1000 feet as high as 47 mph, which implies winds of at least 40 mph at the surface, using the usual 10% reduction rule for winds measured at 1000 feet. Barry has a small but growing area of heavy thunderstorms, as seen on satellite loops. The thunderstorms are steadily sho

Trace Adkins explains Confederate flag earpiece
NEW YORK (AP) — Trace Adkins wore an earpiece decorated like the Confederate flag when he performed for the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting but says he meant no offense by it.
Adkins appeared with the earpiece on a nationally televised special for the lighting on Wednesday. Some regard the flag as a racist symbol and criticized Adkins in Twitter postings.
But in a statement released Thursday, the Louisiana native called himself a proud American who objects to any oppression and says the flag represents his Southern heritage.
He noted he's a descendant of Confederate soldiers and says he did not intend offense by wearing it.
Adkins — on a USO tour in Japan — also called for the preservation of America's battlefields and an "honest conversation about the country's history."

ST LOUIS, MO - Manager Ron Washington walks off the field during Game Seven of the MLB World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
The Texas Rangers agreed to extend the contract of their manager, Ron Washington.
Ron Washington is the kind of manager who can drive Rangers fans nuts. Ron Washington is the kind of manager who will hit Mike Napoli eighth on some bizarre hunch or imperceptible strategy. Ron Washington is the manager of the back-to-back American League Champions, so he has to be doing something right. All of that can be true. He's a complicated fellow to evaluate.
What he is without question, though, is the manager of the Texas Rangers for another two years. From Danny Knobler:
Rangers announce two-year extension for mgr Ron Washington
The former infielder and A's coach joined the Rangers in 2007, and helped guide them from a 75-87 record to the pennant-winning franchise with a bright future. He'll still hit Napoli eighth when you turn your back, and he's not adverse to laying down a bunt with a runner on first and no outs, but the outlook is still pretty rosy in Arlington. Washington will be along for the ride.

Young Lawmakers | Video
Jessica Roose | 1/25/2013There are 141 members of the Senate and House, in that mix are Grand Forks Representative Kylie Oversen (D) and Jamestown Representative Alex Looysen (R).
"It`s definitely a different experience because I come in with a different, of course, a very different perspective than a lot of the legislators that are here. Especially those that have been serving here for a longer period of time and just getting out of college I relate a lot to the higher education issues," said Oversen, 23.
Oversen graduated from the University of North Dakota in August with degrees in Social Science and Social Work. But she isn`t slowing down; she`s been applying and hopes to attend law school during the interim.
"It will definitely take a lot of balance. It`s overwhelming to think about what the next four years will be like with balancing a session and hopefully a law school career. But it`s been done before, Stacey Dahl who held this seat before I did, did the same thing her first session."
She`s not the only one with a lot to balance. Looysen, 21, is still a student at Jamestown College.
The junior was able to take the semester off by earning internship credit while he serves. "Her main requirement was that you get real world life experience and nothing better than right now."
He says it was his concern for where the country could be heading that inspired him to run for the office. "I really decided, you know, let`s try and make a difference to ensure that at least North Dakota has a young perspective when making these decisions about future generations."
He plans to start taking classes towards his biology and pre-med degree again this summer and during the interim.
Both Representatives say while it was a little scary at first they have been welcomed in by other members and shown how the process works.

I was lucky enough to find my purpose early, and to find it right at home. My family was not only close-knit and God-fearing, they were also hard drinkers and sometimes fighters. They'd get together on the weekend and it was like a contest to see who could drink the most and who could cause themselves the most embarrassment. One Saturday night, they were at it again, carrying on and talking about things that don't matter. I started saying to my sister that I didn't want to grow up that way. I wanted to make a difference in the world. I wanted to make it a better place, not just for myself, but for my family and everyone else around me. I wanted to be a history maker and a world shaker. I wanted to make an impact on the neighborhood I grew up in. I wanted to help kids who needed a hand up and out of that "almost" place. I realized that I didn't have to be the way my family had always been.
My sister said she thought that was a great idea, but she was smart enough not to stop there. She reminded me about the friend of hers who won a silver medal at the Olympics in swimming. She didn't do it by dreaming about it. She would hit the alarm clock at five in the morning and go to the pool to practice. Then after school, she was back in the pool again for another couple of hours. I used to wonder if her hair ever had a chance to dry.
The point my sister was making was that if I was going to accomplish anything, I had better get desperate about it. I would have to do a lot of things that were new to me and even new to my family. There'd be difficult days ahead of me. In fact, they were much harder than I had imagined they would be. But, I had taken the first step. I had made a decision that I was going to live my life by design rather than by default. I had decided to take control of my destiny. That good desperation provided the key to change: motivation.
I was given divine desperation, which is not panic, not weakness, not frenzy, and not worry. It's determination to do what needs to be done in order to be the person you want to be. I was young enough that I didn't stop to think that it would be hard, that there would be so much to learn and so many things to do. We could all use more of that child-like faith and fearlessness. The most important thing I can tell you is that you have all the talents and tools that you need to become a world shaker and a history maker. Pause for a minute and realize that you have them and then embrace the God-given confidence and desire to put them to work that is already within you.

They cheered for Gary Payton. They cheered for Shawn Kemp. They cheered for Detlef Schrempf, Slick Watts and Nate Robinson.
But the fans roared for Chris Hansen.
"Thank you Chris! Thank you Chris! Thank you Chris!" was the chant when Hansen took the stage Thursday. As he bounced up the backstage steps, the man who wants to bring the NBA back to Seattle was greeted by thousands of basketball fans who gathered in Occidental Park for a rally to support his plan to build a new sports arena in Seattle.
"I was almost tearing up," he said later, "seeing all you guys out here."
For much of Thursday evening, Pioneer Square became a sea of green and gold. SuperSonics fans gave each other hugs and high-fives, united by a common cause and a common disgust at the Oklahoma City Thunder's run to the NBA Finals. A beloved NBA team could, quite possibly, return to town relatively soon.
They danced to performances by Common Market, the Presidents of the United States of America and the Blue Scholars. They cheered to speeches by Hansen, broadcaster Kevin Calabro and King County Executive Dow Constantine. They went wild when Payton, Kemp, Schrempf, Watts and Robinson took the microphone.
It was two hours of excitement and elation, a reminder that the Sonics spirit is still alive in Seattle. And it was a chance for Hansen and his supporters to send a message to the Seattle City Council, the King County Council, the NBA and the entire nation that they really, really want their Sonics back.
Below are a bunch of photos and some video from the event.

State police look for mystery woman who gave Trooper $1,000 gift
State Police are looking for a woman who gave a $1,000 Christmas gift to one of its troopers on Dec. 2.
According to a press release, Trooper Christopher Maniscalo was answering a complaint in the area of Oak Tree Lane in the Town of Guilderland when he was approached by a woman believed to be in her mid 40s.
She asked him if he was busy and he said he had a few moments.
The woman told him: "Trooper I always see you around and, doing a good job and wanted to say Merry Christmas and thank you."
She then gave him a holiday card and he went back to his call.
After his shift, he opened the card and inside was a quote and $1,000.
Unfortunately, by law, the State Police can't accept such a gift and they are now looking for the woman to identify a charity where she would like the money to go.
State Police say she is about 5-foot, 8 inches and possibly driving a blue/gray minivan.
If you know the woman, you are asked to contact SP Latham at 518-783-3211.

Effeminate way of being Gay. One can be camp without being gay. Floppy wrists. Think Elton John and Jack from Will & Grace. 'He's camper than a row of tents'
'Cher is a camp icon' |
2. | camp | ||
1.) In Multiplayer games, the act of remaining in one spot (usually secluded) with a sniper rifle or other area waiting for enemy players to emerge as easy targets. Generally looked upon as a "cheap" method of gaining kills. uber1337: I'm going to camp their spawns.
Manawski: Not if I team-kill you first. |
3. | camp | ||
I felt obligated to post this definition of 'camp' since I believe it to be the most accurate. This is borrowed from dictionary.com:
1. something that provides sophisticated, knowing amusement, as by virtue of its being artlessly mannered or stylized, self-consciously artificial and extravagant, or teasingly ingenuous and sentimental. 2. a person who adopts a teasing, theatrical manner, esp. for the amusement of others. 3. An affectation or appreciation of manners and tastes commonly thought to be artificial, vulgar, or banal. 4. Banality, vulgarity, or artificiality when deliberately affected or when appreciated for its humor: "Camp is popularity plus vulgarity plus innocence" adj. Having deliberately artificial, vulgar, banal, or affectedly humorous qualities or style: played up the silliness of their roles for camp effect. So you can see, camp, as it was originally known as and still, in my opinion, most accurately, has nothing to do with being gay. Campy movies: Attack of the 50-foot Woman, Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Tingler, Barbarella
4. | camp | ||
something considered amusing not because of its originality but because of its unoriginality. According to Susan Sontag, "The essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration. And Camp is esoteric -- something of a private code, a badge of identity even, among small urban cliques." (Notes on Camp) Campy movies: Attack of the 50-foot Woman, Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Tingler, Barbarella
Other examples: Baltimore, The National Enquirer, fake fur, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Tiki, and polyester plaids "I love disco precisely why everyone else seems to dislike it: disco is just so darn campy." |
5. | camp | ||
As Defined by John Schmor, PhD: Camp is Failed Seriousness. To the extremes on both sides usually defines certain aspects of camp. It is not ONLY in relation to Gay Sensibilities, but it plays a heavy part in what camp is recognized as. Mind you, not only Gays can create camp nor are they the only ones who recognize it, it is merely an easy way for Gay sensibilites to be defined because we must hide ourselves from society to the length that we can only bring out those innermost feelings in a "campy" scenario. Camp is cross dressing in a Freudian slip. Camp is Laughing at The Importance of Being Earnest and not knowing why. Camp is laughing at the Importance of Being Earnest and knowing why.
6. | Camp | ||
In multiplayer games the act of sitting in a strategic position and waiting for an opponent to appear at horizon. This is considered a lame behaviour as in the "well known" lamerick below. Sir Camp-a-lot, sitting on top,
waits for a prey (possibly a bot), thinks of his skill until gets killed falling from top, Sir Camp-a-lot! |
7. | camp | ||
The art of acting gay, without having a sexual preference for the same gender. "AC Jones is very camp"

The Scoop
Could anxiety and depression actually be good for female fertility? For women in developing countries, the answer may be yes. A surprising new study of rural families in Senegal, Africa, found that women classified as "neurotic," or more prone to anxiety, depression, and moodiness, tended to have more children than their laid back counterparts. Published June 7, 2010, in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study's authors speculate that women with depressed moods may be more likely to have multiple partners over the course of their lifetime, increasing their chances of having children—or it could be that anxiety in women has the side effect of increasing libido.
Researchers also noted that babies born to anxious, depressed women tended to be smaller at birth and more prone to health problems. Similar findings about the negative effects of stress on pregnancy and prenatal health have been found among women living in the US and other industrialized countries.
Your Fertility
Feeling stressed out and depressed when you are trying to conceive may play a small role in infertility, but should not be considered in the same category as other known causes. "Women can and do become pregnant in life situations far more stressful than what many couples consider stressful," says Dr. Estil Young Strawn Jr., director of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. "Specifically, in countries where there is open warfare and starvation conditions, women are becoming pregnant."
According to Dr. Strawn, stress, anxiety, and depression lead to fertility problems when negative feelings (in either partner), cause a loss of sex drive and get in the way of a healthy sexual relationship.

JWM (Joe's Window Manager)
JWM is a light-weight window manager for the X11 Window System. JWM is written in C and uses only Xlib at a minimum. Because of its small footprint, JWM makes a good window manager for older computers and less powerful systems, such as the Raspberry Pi, though it is perfectly capable of running on modern systems. JWM is included in small Linux distributions such as Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux, and it is available as a separate package in many other distributions.
The obligatory screenshot: JWM v2.2 beta (681).
Although JWM does not require them, it can use the following libraries if available:

JWM attempts to conform to the ICCCM and supports both MWM hints and Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH).
The currently released version is getting quite old, so I recommend
downloading the latest development snapshot instead. A new release
should be available soon.
Current release: JWM v2.1.0
(Older releases)
Latest development snapshot:
snapshot 802
(Older snapshots)
See the ChangeLog for details
on what has changed (versions and snapshots are tagged).
JWM is distributed in source form. To compile JWM, first run "./configure" (see "./configure --help" for options). Next run "make" and, finally, "make install" to install JWM. "make install" will install the binary, the default configuration file, and the man page. Any user wishing to use JWM will probably want a copy of the configuration file in his/her home directory (otherwise the default will be used). The per-user configuration file is $HOME/.jwmrc.
After installing JWM, if you wish to run JWM instead of your default window manager, you will need to make the appropriate changes to have X11 execute JWM. Exactly how the window manager is started can vary depending on distribution. However, on many systems this can often be accomplished by modifying $HOME/.xsession to look something like this:
See configuration for information on
configuring JWM.
JWM also comes with a manual page ("man jwm").

Cat's Tales...True Stories of Some Silly Kitties
They're sisters and I'm sure they're Irish because they were born
on St. Patrick's Day seven years ago. Here they are, cat-napping
on my bed.
You've already met my newest kitty, Skinny, aka the newest foodie blogger. She was a stray, living under my car in the parking lot. The first time I saw her, she was just skin and bones, meowing piteously as I took my dogs out for a walk. It just about broke my heart; so of course I had to feed her. She wouldn't let me come near her, so I sat on the steps and watched her eat, talking to her. I fed her every day, twice a day, spending hours at a time talking to her, for two weeks before she finally adopted me.
Sundays are supposed to be somewhat of a lazy day, just laying around the house, watching TV, relaxing, or writing your foodie blog. Not today. One of my friends came by because she noticed a stray cat was stuck on a third-floor balcony of an empty apartment. Silly little kitty had climbed up a tree to get there and couldn't get down.
We stood there, trying to figure out what to do and how to get him down, then she called a friend who has a ladder. Long story short,
he never showed up. Must not be a kitty lover or else he wanted a lazy Sunday. We called maintenance but their answering service isn't answering. So we called Wildlife Animal Rescue and they can't come out because they don't have a ladder.
So I called my daughter, who is a firefighter, to ask if the fire department would come out to rescue the cat. They do it all the time in movies, but not in San Antonio. And she doesn't know anyone who has a ladder, either. In the meantime, we've got a crowd gathered around outside trying to figure out how to rescue this silly little kitty. We're pretty sure it's a he, and we've named him Moe.
NEWS UPDATE: Moe just jumped from the third-floor balcony, OMG, went sailing through the air (who knew cats could fly?), landed on his feet, and gave everyone a quizzical look, wondering why we were all
so worried about him all day. Men! They act so helpless when they're perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. I'm SO glad I have girl kitties. Being the kind-hearted souls that we are, we gave him some fresh water and cat food, and we're now pampering him, telling him what a brave kitty he is to jump.
This is a true story. It really happened. Names have not been changed to protect the innocent.

At least you didn't have the firemen out there with big ladders when he decided to jump, errr, fly! That would have been hysterical. I can just picture him almost within arms lenght and poof, he's flying!

What a great story!! My tomato has (I think) fallen in love with stepdaughters cat. He races around looking for her, and when she appeared on Saturday he leaped into the air, did some sort of acrobatic ballet kick and ran to her! If that's not cat-flirting, I don't know what is! :)

I love your kitty cats. They certainly are adorable. We used to have a HUGE cat named Sam who would actually knock on the front door when he was ready to come back inside. :)

Your cats are adorable! I love the story. Typical cat-like. We have three cats, one male (Dante) and two females (Sheba and Bella).
Dante and Sheba have the same mother and were a couple of weeks old when they joined the family. Bella was meowing at our dining room during one very cold day in March last year. We let her in and she never left! - March 24, 2009 at 10:20 PM

I am absolutely honored to be an SA here on TSR! So what do I do anyway? I build lots...lots of lots. Contemporary, Traditional, Victorian, Modern, Mountain, Beach homes/Hotels, Apartments, Community Lots...I guess you could say I build a little of everything! From Base Game Only homes to Apartment Life, you're sure to find something to tickle your sim-fancy, and fit your EPs!
About Homes by Illiana:
When I build a home I don't just build it for looks. I build homes that are meant to be played. I also personally test every single home I create to be sure that everything works as it should BEFORE I upload it. Don't like CC in your downloaded homes? I tend to keep that to a minimum, if I use it at all. I am proud to say that most of my lots are Maxis Only! (I try to leave the CC choices up to YOU.) So be confident when you download one of my homes that I have YOU and YOUR gameplay in mind with every home I build. Hopefully that will transfer into more fun, with less hassle, for you.
All of my lots may be used in stories, movies, posters, pictures...for the love of Pete...USE the homes. LOL! I would be THRILLED! If you do, drop me a line so I can take a peek at what you've done with them. I'd LOVE to see them in action. Thanks!

If Pittsburgh beats the Bengals but somehow lost to the Browns would Baltimore intentionally lose to the Bengals the last game? Thus keeping Pitt out of the playoffs.
If Pittsburgh beats the Bengals but somehow lost to the Browns would Baltimore intentionally lose to the Bengals the last game? Thus keeping Pitt out of the playoffs.
No, no, no!
I wasn't thinking that they would. I guess I should rephrase and say "Would you recommend losing to the Bengals and keeping Pitt out"
Real professionals wouldn't worry about another team playing another team in another city. They'd play to win.
If the Ravens are losing on purpose to avoid a team then they should just pack up and go home now.
No NFL team would ever do what you asked. Isn't that what those Chinese badmitton teams got caught doing? Shameful.
The Ravens will sit many of their starters if the Bengirls lose this week or Ravens beat the Giants.
Not correct. If the Steelers or Bengals win out and Baltimore loses out the Steelers or Bengals win the Division.
No. 6 seed: Cincinnati Bengals (8-6) — at Steelers (7-7), vs. Ravens (9-5)
The Bengals can punch their postseason ticket in Week 16 if they win. Cincinnati also could still swipe the AFC North with a 2-0 finish and 0-2 finish from Baltimore, both of which would require a Week 17 Bengals win over the Ravens. A loss in Pittsburgh would be a devastating blow for the Bengals — they would need a win over Baltimore and a Cleveland upset of Pittsburgh. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 6
Pittsburgh Steelers (7-7) — vs. Bengals (8-6), vs. Browns (5-9)
The Steelers' situation is simple: win out and they're in — and in as division champs if they, the Bengals and Ravens all finish at 9-7. The Steelers would be eliminated with a Week 16 loss; they could finish 1-1 with a Week 17 loss and sneak in at 8-8, but only if the Bengals also lose in Week 17. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 6
Just heard this morning that if the Ravens - Steelers - Bengals all end up with 9 - 7 record the Steelers win the division.

Self Titled
England's Viatrophy ply a modern death metal trade, furious and ultimately not resonant. Hints of melody emerge amidst their frantic tech-y riffage, adding a Black Dahlia Murder/The Absence feel to their generic-but-bruising The Eyes Of A Traitor-like technical deathcore approach. As well as Viatrophy can play, they lack the ability to write a truly killer song—nothing on hand is memorable, masterful or anything more than middle-of-the-pack.
Opening with "Lux E Tenebris," a mournful and symphonic instrumental introduction, Viatrophy begins proper with the chugging "Mistress Of Misery," which exhibits all the solid but unfortunately second-hand traits of the entire record. Tight-but-interchangeable rhythmic riffs sit beneath frantic lead work and Adam Mayes' dueling vocals (high rasp and low growl, a la Trevor Strnad). "Seas Of Storms" digresses into a clean-guitar-driven dreamy bit before a semi-epic melodic section, and with both of those, that spacey moment and then that brief flirtation with straight melodeath, all of Viatrophy's cards are on the table. Stylistically if not exactly, some sections repeat here and there, with varying degrees of success but never quite stepping out from the shadows to grab the listener and not let go. On the positive side, both "The Ethereal Darkness" and "Futile Prayers" feature some destructive riffage before each, like all their peers, falls into interchangeable single-note chugging and/or generic modern-death leanings. But those moments are far too few to salvage the record from the land of "listen once and forget."
Fans of the modern death metal purveyed by all the bands I mentioned in the first paragraph will likely find this listenable, perhaps even enjoyable at times, but all told, what's on hand has been done before and better. Myself, I find this neither particularly interesting nor inexcusable, and regardless of those, it is decidedly inessential.

[Solved] Problems with spacing
Why is it that when I add a paragraph to my content section my spacing is added below the my mast picture is.
http://codepen.io/Austin-Davis/pen/HImBe https://gist.github.com/4382498
Because the elements within #below-mast are all floats. Floats are removed from the normal document flow, essentially giving #below-mast a height of 0. So the paragraph begins just below the mast, but the p's inline content is pushed by the floats down below #below-mast.
And easy fix to contain the floats, is to add overflow: hidden; to #below-mast
Thanks alot... there seems to be a ton of underlying aspects of front end design that just seem to go over my head....

- Artists:
- Grouper »
- Label:
- Kranky »
For most artists, a release of previously shunned, old material would rightly be cause for lowered expectations. Not so for Grouper, aka Liz Harris. She doesn't really do bad.
The Man Who Died In His Boat dates from the recording of 2008's cheerfully titled Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill. Despite being outtakes, the good news is, it still sounds like Grouper. The lyrics are still largely indecipherable yet gorgeous, the acoustic guitar is still open tuned, and the melodies remain haunting and insidiously catchy.
Harris's music falls somewhere between singer songwriter and ambient 'noise'. Rising from the Portland underground scene with a series of hiss-soaked CDRs, she has developed a formidable body of work. Her LPs also feature her own beautiful sketches, and are very much examples of the record as an objet d' art.
The titular ...Man was a sailor whose boat was wrecked on the shore of Harris's hometown when she was a teenager. The mysterious pathos of this incident suits Grouper well. As Harris explains, 'the boat never crashed or capsized....(it) just slipped off somehow. And the boat, like a riderless horse, eventually came back home.? This haunting return of an unmanned vessel is spooky in a similar way to Harris's ethereal, multi tracked vocals. On 'Cover The Long Way' a phantom choir of voices float around for four minutes, winding in and out of each other, like birds flitting in the breeze. It's as pretty as anything she's put her name to previously, yet it still manages to sound spectral and unsettling.
The main difference between this and any of Harris's more recent work is the significantly sparser production. There are none of the foggy piano drones which saturate much of AIA and even less of Harris's much loved effect pedals. The result is a less cavernous and more intimate record, which is largely acoustic led. Though still a long way from 'folk music' the more organic backdrop for Harris's voice is a welcome change. On the magnificent 'Towers', for instance, it's simply her and two guitars, and the effect is chillingly good. Songwriting of this calibre needs no embellishment.
The accusation of monotony, or too similar sounding songs, is just about the only valid criticism I can think of to level at Grouper. But to take each song separately is to miss the point: it's useful to view Grouper albums as one continual sound, one without any ipod friendly singles, or obvious peaks and troughs. Instead, as on The Man Who Died.., there are subtle but definite changes in mood, and each song (of which none are bad) simply segues into the next almost imperceptibly.
Make no mistake, this is serious music which seems designed for perusing lyric booklets in darkened rooms. And there's really no way to analyse it without taking a similarly solemn and intense approach. 'Vanishing Point' is the most abstract song on the album. It revolves around a ghoulish piano line which follows a minute of eerie hiss. Its echoing keys resemble less a melody than a texture: water trickling over rocks, or the irregular scurry of human thoughts. Perversely, its power comes from this dissonance; its very lack of order. And its positioning before the most conventional piece on the album, the almost camp-fire like title track, is genius: akin to a diver coming up for air, surfacing after a lengthy immersion.
On the record's cover there's a monochrome photograph of Harris's mother in which she appears lost in thought, nervously peering at something just out of shot, fidgeting with her hands. What at first glance looks like a simple portrait shot of a woman in a pretty dress, on closer inspection becomes fraught with mystery: what is she looking at? Why is she distracted? Is that body language defensive/ embarrassed? All unanswerable questions, yet no less intriguing for that. Harris' music works in a similar way. Despite its hushed and calm exterior, Grouper has a dark and troubled core.
This is music that challenges and provokes. It may require a bit of effort to 'get' Grouper, but it's worth it. And as this record illustrates, even her cast-offs are stunningly good.

- Post a new comment on this articleReally good review
A good analysis of Grouper's work as a whole. I dismissed this as a cast off album too at first, but have read two glowing reviews today and so I revisited it. Could well grow on me like her best albums.
(extreme pedant alert) Did you mean Dragging A Dead Deer in para 6?
Great review though, and agree with the point about taking the albums as whole, the way the distortion rises and falls throughout Dragging... means tracks don't work quite as well removed from their album context (Heavy Water a possible exception).

From Facebook Post to Thanksgiving Feast
By: Adam Rodriguez
Updated: November 22, 2012
Thanks to a mother's dedicated efforts, hundreds of people had Thanksgiving dinner in Hot Springs.
Brittany Ficut ran the kitchen at Sunshine Church of the Nazarene like a field general Thursday: directing traffic, filling plates, and keeping the line moving.
She recruited a small army to help, starting with a post on her Facebook page.
"I've always wanted to do it," Ficut said, scooping potatoes and turkey onto a plate. "I just never had enough faith in myself."
But she found it earlier this month when friends started answering her post, and the support started pouring in. Ficut says friends, businesses and complete strangers contacted her with food and money.
You'd never guess the 28-year-old mother of three has congestive heart failure. Ficut endured four surgeries in the last two years and has the defibrillator and pacemaker to prove it.
Ficut says her family and friends helped her through the difficult times, and helping others have Thanksgiving dinner is her way of giving back.
"There's other people that don't have families," Ficut said. "They don't have families able to step in and able to help them, especially if someone lost their job or whatever. That's where this came in, wanting to help."
Bill Branch came for the feast, and says it's better than he could have hoped for.
It took a lot of hard work, but Ficut says the satisfaction of helping others is its own reward.
"This is what it's all about right here- giving back and helping others," Ficut said. "We need to be doing this.This is what everybody needs to do.

Here is an excerpt from Matt Woolbright's article, Boston Tea Party Museum and Old South Meeting House unveil rare tea chest artifact:
The chest, one of two remaining, was passed through a family after colonists retrieved it from the harbor the morning after the "party," said Robin DeBlosi, director for marketing at the Old South Meeting House.
"Most artifacts from this treasonous event were buried in the mud so people wouldn't keep them," DeBlosi said, "which is what makes this so rare."
The event is open to the public and many Boston officials are expected to attend. There will be a performance by a fife and drum corps and the chest will be marched from the Old South Meeting House to the museum's replica Tea Party ship on the harbor. The museum, however, will not open to the public until June 26.

The Benefits and Risks of Postpartum Exercise
Starting a moderate exercise program during the postpartum months is beneficial in many ways. Regular exercise improves immune function and increases the production of antioxidant substances in the body. It helps you to sleep better at night and feel more energetic during the day. A brisk walk does wonders for depression or anxiety. A bout of exercise helps to suppress your appetite for sweets and junk food and increases your appetite for natural, nourishing foods. Flexibility and muscular strength stave off uneven strain on the skeleton that can lead to pain and injury over time. If your muscles are strong and your joints supple, you are less likely to throw your back out or injure yourself in some other way as you lift, bend, twist, and maneuver through your day. And if you start easing into exercise in a balanced and educated manner during the first postpartum year, the transition into more strenuous exercise later should you choose to make that transition is sure to be much smoother.
While some exercise is a very good thing for a new mom, doing too much too soon can be harmful. This is especially true for women who are low on the adrenal hormone cortisol. When you exercise, your adrenal glands pump out cortisol to increase your heart rate and breathing rate, and to increase blood flow to your muscles. As explained previously, there is a significant drop in cortisol levels postpartum. Going out for a run two weeks after giving birth will draw on the tapped resources of your adrenals before they are ready, and this will knock your recovering body out of balance. If laboratory tests show that your cortisol levels are low, you should postpone all but the most mild exercise until those levels return to normal.
You may have enjoyed an increased degree of flexibility during pregnancy. Your joints will still be loose for the first few weeks postpartum, and loose ligaments mean greater risk of injury. Exercising too hard in those first weeks can also delay the healing of episiotomy and cesarean incisions. If you hemorrhaged after giving birth, you may be anemic, and you will need to build up your iron levels for a while before you're ready to exercise.
Unrelenting or recurring muscle or joint pain in the hips, legs, or back can be related to the skeletal strain of late pregnancy and birth. If you have this problem, you may need to visit a skilled chiropractor or osteopath, who can assess any skeletal imbalances and correct them.

We Are Anonymous is a thrilling, exclusive expose of the hacker collectives Anonymous and LulzSec.
In late 2010, thousands of hacktivists joined a mass digital assault by Anonymous on the websites of VISA, MasterCard, and PayPal to protest their treatment of WikiLeaks. Splinter groups then infiltrated the networks of totalitarian governments in Libya and Tunisia, and an elite team of six people calling themselves LulzSec attacked the FBI, CIA, and Sony. They were flippant and taunting, grabbed headlines, and amassed more than a quarter of a million Twitter followers. The computer security world - and world at large - realized quickly that Anonymous and its splinter groups are something to treat with dead seriousness.
Through the stories of three key members, We Are Anonymous offers a gripping, adrenaline-fueled narrative in the style of The Accidental Billionaires, drawing upon hundreds of conversations with the members themselves, including exclusive interviews. By coming to know them - their childhoods, families, and personal demons - we come to know the human side of their virtual exploits, and why they're so passionate about disrupting the Internet's frontiers.
©2012 Parmy Olson (P)2012 Hacette Audio
"Good book but horrible performance"
The narration of this book is just atrocious.
Faking accents in a nonfiction book is unnecessary and the correct pronunciation of words like "Linux" and other terms relating to technology and the internet should be a requirement for narrating books like this.
Especially when you have a book where most of the audience knows the correct wording of phrases and pronunciation of these terms.
So all in all: compelling content let down by irritating narration.
"Awesome book. Felt like a hacker fiction novel!"
I was blown away by how exciting the author made this story. It's a fascinating look into the underground hacker culture and a wake up call to anyone who hasn't paid much attention to computer security in the past. You'll learn about the basic methods hackers use, including technical hacks and social engineering.
The story was very approachable, Parmy Olson does a good job explaining everything tech related in a fair amount of detail without making the embarrassing mistakes that many journalists make when reporting on technology. (I'm hardly all-knowing in this area, but I'm a programmer and pretty tech savvy, so I probably would have caught any obvious flaws)
The narrator does a wonderful job adding life to the dialogue and uses different voices for each character when reading chat logs and interview quotes. I almost felt like I was listening to a Stieg Larsson book. If you're at all interested in hackers or how a couple kids from different sides of the planet can take down the websites of massive corporations, get this book!
"incredibly close up look"
Parmy Olson provides an incredibly close up and detailed view into these very specific hacker groups. She illuminates the personalities, strategies, tactics and targets involved. Solid narration too.
"Pretty Indepth for Individuals Who Valued Privacy"
Abby Craden does a pretty good job narrating, apart from the painfully obvious mispronunciations of a couple words. But it doesn't detract from the story and her voice suits the book well, often conveying senses of foreboding, dread, and hope as the author clearly intended in her story. The accents are a bit hokey, but it's a small issue.
How the World of Anonymous was Uncovered
I hope that the author updates her book with the recent developments into the LulzSec and Anonymous stories.
"Very good account of the rise and fall of LulzSec"
Good performance and detailed account without being too techy.
In the end, all criminals eventually slip up. The lulz was on them.
Tariopy, the spokesman. No one is completely good or completely bad. The book included a good profile of him.
I am currently a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"Admirable attempt to tackle difficult subject"
I believe the content of this book should be graded on a curve: how does one adequately capture the development of an organization that defines itself by its lack of organization? How does one make sense of a so-called "hacktavist" group that does not have a specific political agenda? Lastly, how does one try to capture the meaning of a cyber movement that is still in its infancy?
Despite these issues, author Parmy Olson does an adequate job of giving a coherent account Anonymous, LulzSec and related cyber groups. She focuses on a few central key figures like "Sebu", "Topiary" and "Kayla" and tries to show how these figures reflect different sides of Anonymous. For example, Sebu represents the political-minded hacktavist side, Topiary represents the "lulz" side and Kayla the hard-core hacker side. I think this strategy was effective since it gives the reader the sense that while Anonymous, LulzSec, etc are frequently talked about as a single entity within the media the motivations of the people who identify with these group vary wildly.
I have two criticisms of this audiobook. The first regards the content. I thought the author at times went off into unnecessary tangents, introducing periphery figures that didn't add much to the book, or quoted chat logs for longer than was needed. My second criticism regards the narration. I don't know who's idea it was to have the narrator use different accents for each speaker because they were annoying and even distracting at certain points (Barret Brown's Texas accent immediately comes to mind). If I had to it over again, I would have bought a paper or e-book version rather than get the audiobook.
"Other than mispronunciations is was great."
It's a great look inside the real world of Anonymous & lulzsec, it will really educate the uniformed.
I have not listened to anything else Abby Craden has done but I would have no problem listening to her read another book. My only issue with her is that she mispronounces some very simple words, the main one that stood out for me was Linux, she pronounces it (line-ex) when it is pronounced (Lin-ex). That and the other mispronunciations of some very simple every day computing words drove me a little nuts But other than that she was a joy to listen to.
"Not a bad book"
historical, depressing, enthralling
I might recommend this. The only problems are that it has a lot of vulgarity, obscenity, and graphic things, but it's an open window into what it's like in the under-world of the internet, so I don't think that's necessarily bad, it's just depressing.
The reading is in a very proud sounding lilt without much other emotion which tends to flatten all the accents. I'm not sure if they're bad accents or if it's the proud sound to every phrase, but something is wrong with the accents especially. They're a bit irritating.
No, this wasn't a book that I wanted to listen to all in one sitting, but most books are long enough that it would be hard to anyways. The off accents are too grating in this one, however for that to happen.
"Very interesting and a little scary"
This book is very thoughtful and well researched. It is really quite facinating. I felt like I got to know the Anons, their world(s) and a variety of dangers that I never even knew existed. I thought the characterization of the key "players" in LOLs raids were particularly strong and allowed me to connect with the people behind the screen names. In the end, I even felt sympathy for the characters and the "crimes" they had committed.
"Eye opening and scary look at the internet"
While the middle section of the book seemed to drag I throughly enjoyed most of the book. I was left feeling very sympathetic for some of the people who were naively sucked into commiting felonies that at the time they thought were harmless pranks. It was stricking and un-nereving to see how easy these people can disrupt internet commerce or hack into private information.

I can't believe no one else is posting this stuff
They released info on the people they spied on, the secret drug tests they did, the wiretapping of news reporters (some of whom just found out about it), even some plans to assassinate Fidel
CIA's `Family Jewels' Released
June 28, 2007
CIA Director Michael Hayden has released the "family jewels," hundreds of pages of internal reports on assassination plots, secret drug tests and spying on Americans by the agency, some dating back to the 1950s.
The view may not be pretty, but it is enriching.
The documents were the result of an 1973 order by then-CIA Director James Schlesinger. Angered by newspaper accounts that his agency had provided support to former CIA agents E. Howard Hunt and James McCord during the Watergate break-in, Mr. Schlesinger issued a CIA-wide directive telling senior managers "to report to me immediately on any activities now going on, or that have gone on the past, which might be construed to be outside the legislative charter of this agency."
Mr. Schlesinger later moved to the Pentagon and his successor, William Colby, reported the documents to the Justice Department.
What Mr. Hayden's decision gives the American public is a rich and remarkable watershed of confessions from a deeply troubled time. Attorney General Robert Kennedy, for example, personally managed an operation to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. CIA officials contacted a former FBI agent, who recruited two mobsters to execute the leader in 1960.
There are accounts of the CIA's testing mind-altering drugs - including LSD - on unwitting citizens. The wiretapping of American journalists. The infiltration of civil rights organizations and Vietnam war protesters. Break-ins at the homes of former CIA employees.
The documents also chronicle the rising sense of panic in the administration of President Gerald R. Ford in 1974 as many of these activities started to come to light thanks to the reporting of Seymour Hersh of The New York Times.
Why release this information? Mr. Hayden understands the material gives an unflattering view of his agency. An Air Force general with two master's degrees in history, Mr. Hayden says it's an effort to come clean about aspects of the CIA's past and to set the historical record straight.
Many of these records have been sought by historians for decades. Mr. Hayden deserves credit for his courageous decision to shed light on a troubled yet important chapter of American history.
