Re: Fix your broken game!
I can tell you right now that I see lag every single match just like any other person. But also, lag doesn't explain the invincibility glitch. It doesn't explain why I got the stomp animation and his t-bolt dropped. He had to pick it up so it registered on his side, too.

And wait, I thought, according to your theories, that I'm supposed to have a lag free online experience because I have a slow connection. Doesn't this go against one or the other? Either your right that this is lag or your right that my slow connection guarantees me a lag free experience. Not both.

I don't monitor your connection/router, so I don't know how consistent it may be when it comes to ping, jitter and packet loss. That's your responsibility and maybe your ISP's, not mine.
Theories and nice and all, but I also have played LAN matches and let me tell you that this game is wonderful when there's no lag. I don't even care about stuff like blindfire or weapon balance in that case, because everything seems so fluid and there's no lag-induced BS.
What about you? Do you have any experience in LAN matches?
ps: Lag compensation and host advantage don't matter in LAN games. Why? Because everyone has the exact same connection (<1ms ping, zero jitter, zero packet loss, 100-1000 Mbps speed), so there's nothing to compensate for.
Re: Fix your broken game!
No I haven't played Lan matches. Playing a few matches does not equal thorough testing. I could play several online matches and not see a problem like this. Doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.

Re: Fix your broken game![ Edited ]
If you prefer a "consistent" 256-512 Kbps ADSL connection instead of an "inconsistent" 20-50 Mbps Cable connection, then I don't know what else to say... the numbers speak for themselves.
Many people on this forum have Comcast connections, so I don't know why do you have such a beef with Comcast.
When you play LAN matches and see what I'm talking about, then we can discuss about it.

Well I'm just pointing out the fact that you are arguing on different threads of essentially the same exact thing...

Global Trends For the Financial Service Industry
As the economic crisis continues to unfold, the financial service industry faces serious challenges. The crisis is rooted in continuous imbalances, including long periods of low interest rates, rapidly rising asset prices, and massive credit and savings imbalances. The 2007 and 2008 Reports from the World Economic Forum predicted these changes as continuous risk to the market. Earlier decades of exceptional growth and capitalism at its best have now caused the market to adapt to tighter credit, growing government intervention, … Continue reading Global Trends For the Financial Service Industry

Maastricht is a beautiful city in the south of Holland. It is also known as the most 'bon vivant' city in Holland. Everywhere you go, you can enjoy excellent food and drink in beautiful surroundings. After a lovely day of strolling through the city, you can choose from countless terraces and cafés. We have selected a few nice locations for you.
Café Charlemagne (Onze Lieve Vrouweplein 24): Welcoming 'brown' (old-fashioned) pub on what may well be the most bustling square in Maastricht. Don't forget to ask for one of their delicious 'beer plates'.
De Dikke Dragonder (Platielstraat 21): Old-fashioned 'brown' pub of which only a few are left. Sherry casks serve as tables and the pub has live music on a regular basis.
De Feesfebrik (Markt 25): Want to have a party? At the Feesfebrik, there is something going on every week, especially from Thursday night through to the weekend. Lots of students, lots of beer, lots of DJs – and opening hours until 6 in the morning.
Café de twee Heeren (Platiel 17-19): What would a night on the town in Maastricht be without it? A great place to have a beer or a glass of wine, and also known for its excellent lunch and dinner menus.
Café de Belsj (Maastrichter Heidenstraat 7): Traditional 'brown' pub adorned with big old paintings. This is where you can enjoy a broad range of specialty beers. You could also drop by for the home-made onion soup or a lovely cheese platter.
Café Sjiek (St Pieterstraat 13): With its excellent wine car and great food, Sjiek is almost a restaurant but it is mainly a living room. One where people meet over a glass of good beer or wine.
In de Moriaan (Stokstraat 12): In de Moriaan is the smallest café in Holland, but its open-air and glassed-in terraces open out onto a monumental little square, Op de Thermen. This is a lovely place for a glass of wine, a cheese platter and mouth-watering 'escargots' (cooked snails).
Servaas' café (Coversplein 10): With its lovely terrace and beautiful views of the Meuse and Sint-Servaas bridge, Servaas serves excellent lunches. Order a 'bruschetta' or a 'Servaas burger', for instance.
De Mangerie (Ruiterij 1): Hotel Crowne Plaza serves lunch and dinner on one of the most beautiful terraces in town, with refined side dishes and sophisticated wines.
Grand Café d'n Ingel (Vrijthof 13): Situated on one of the most beautiful squares in Maastricht, the Vrijthof, the terrace of this café invites you to sit down and relax.
Aan de Linde (Jan Deckerstraat 1B): Just outside the city centre, at the start of the Lindenlaan, you'll find this lovely terrace on the side of the Geul. The Limburg 'savoir vivre' comes to life here with an excellent menu and thirst-quenching drinks.
Harbour Club (Bassinkade 4): An eye-catching design restaurant in a vaulted cellar by the water. Relax near the open fire or have a drink and a bite to eat on their lovely terrace.

Torii raises his voice (lineups)
They closed the clubhouse doors and kicked everyone out for a players-only meeting before taking the field for batting practice this afternoon at Fenway Park.
It was the second time this season the Angels' acknowledged leader, Torii Hunter, has taken those measures -- and the Red Sox were the final straw both times.
The first time came in May as the Angels were staggering through a winless road trip (swept in three games in Detroit and four in Boston). They met before the start of a three-game series in Seattle then took two out of three from the Mariners to finish 2-8 on that trip.
"This one was more serious because there's not much time left (in the season)," Hunter said, declining to say any more about the tone/topic of the meeting.
Meanwhile, Dustin Pedroia was scratched from the Red Sox's lineup, apparently with soreness in his foot. Pedroia just returned from the DL Tuesday after missing 44 games with a broken bone in his left foot.

Otitis media and other illnesses caused by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) remain significant health problems for children and a vaccine for prevention of disease is much needed. Our long-term objectives are to identify surface-exposed antigens of NTHi that are important in a protective immune response, and ultimately, to determine whether a vaccine composed of such antigens would be protective against NTHi disease. In early work, we identified the HMW1/HMW2 and Hia families of proteins as major targets of the human antibody response following natural infection. We later demonstrated a critical role for both protein families in adhesion of NTHi to human eukaryotic cells. Virtually all NTHi express either HMW/HMW2-like or Hia-like adhesins. We later demonstrated the vaccine potential of prototype HMW1/HMW2 proteins in immunization studies in which chinchillas immunized parenterally were protected against NTHi otitis media caused by the homologous strain. We also demonstrated that naturally-acquired human antibodies specific for the HMW1/HMW2-like proteins and polyclonal antisera raised against these proteins are opsonophagocytic for both homologous and heterologous HMW1/HMW2-expressing strains. In more recent work on the Hia proteins, we demonstrated that antibodies specific for the Hia-like proteins are also opsonophagocytic for homologous and heterologous Hia-expressing NTHi. Taken together, these data suggest that proteins from both the HMW1/HMW2 and Hia families, most likely in combination, deserve serious consideration as vaccine candidates for prevention of NTHi disease. Direct mucosal immunization is thought by many experts in the field to be critical to development of a successful otitis media vaccine. In our very recent work, we constructed recombinant adenovirus vectors expressing either HMW1/HMW2 or Hia proteins and demonstrated the immunogenicity of these constructs in the chinchilla otitis model. In the proposed work, we will build upon these earlier studies and determine whether the HMW1/HMW2- and Hia-like proteins can move forward as viable NTHi vaccine candidates. First, we will define the contribution of human antibodies produced against the HMW1/HMW2- and Hia-like proteins to the opsonophagocytic activity that develops in convalescent sera of children with acute NTHI otitis media. Next, we will map the regions of the HMW1/HMW2- and Hia-like proteins that express epitopes recognized by antibodies capable of mediating opsonophagocytic activity against both homologous and heterologous NTHi. Finally, we will assess the ability of recombinant adenovirus vectors expressing the HMW1/HMW2- or Hia-like proteins to provide protection against NTHi disease in the chinchilla model of experimental otitis media. Our proposed studies are innovative for the field both in terms of the promising vaccine antigens under study and in terms of the novel mucosal immunization strategy being investigated. The resulting information will move us further towards our ultimate goal of developing effective vaccines for prevention of NTHi otitis media and other diseases in young children.
Ear infections caused by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae bacteria are a major problem for children everywhere. The objective of our work is to develop a vaccine for prevention of these Haemophilus ear infections. We previously identified two related bacterial proteins that are very promising vaccine candidates and we will further assess their vaccine potential in the studies proposed in this grant.
|Winter, Linda E; Barenkamp, Stephen J (2014) Antibodies to the HMW1/HMW2 and Hia adhesins of nontypeable haemophilus influenzae mediate broad-based opsonophagocytic killing of homologous and heterologous strains. Clin Vaccine Immunol 21:613-21

BedardThe MLB trade deadline came and went Sunday and on the final day of July, several teams made notable moves.
After their attempt to get Oakland A's pitcher Rich Harden fell through Saturday, the Boston Red Sox acquired Erik Bedard from the Seattle Mariners in a three-team trade involving the Los Angeles Dodgers. Boston also received minor league pitcher Josh Fields from Seattle in exchange for outfielders Trayvon Robinson and Chih-Hsien Chiang. This after the Dodgers traded Robinson to the Red Sox for three minor leaguers.
Bedard returns to the AL East where he pitched for Baltimore from 2002 to 2007. He was just 15-14 with a 3.31 ERA with Seattle and missed the entire 2010 season after undergoing shoulder surgery.
Now he'll be pitching at Fenway Park where he has struggled in the past posting a 6.99 career ERA there. That's the second-worst ERA of any stadium that Bedard has thrown at least 20 innings.
The St. Louis Cardinals also picked up veteran shortstop Rafael Furcal from the Dodgers on Sunday. Like Bedard, Furcal has also been hampered by injuries playing in just 283 out of a possible 486 games from 2008 to 2010. He played in 37 of 106 games this season with the Dodgers. Furcal went 0-1 as a pinch hitter in his Cardinals' debut Sunday.
Also it wasn't Heath Bell, but another Padres reliever Mike Adams who switched teams on Sunday. Adams went to the Texas Rangers in exchange for minor-league pitchers Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland. Adams was just 11-9 with a 2.11 ERA in his career, but 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA this season. He struck out 49 batters while walking just nine.
Meanwhile, Michael Bourn who leads the league with 39 stolen bases was traded from the Houston Astros to the Atlanta Braves for Jordan Schafer and three minor leaguers. Bourn's speed helps the Braves who rank 27th in the league in steals with just 42. The two-time Gold Glove winner hit .303 this season with Houston.
Trades on July 31, Last 6 Years
Despite these deals, trading on the final day of the deadline was light compared to the last two years. Also, this was the first season since 1998, Brian Cashman's first year as General Manager, that the Yankees did not make any trades in July.
Among the notable players expected to be traded that were not: Heath Bell, B.J. Upton, Wandy Rodriguez, Hiroki Kuroda (invoked no-trade clause), Josh Willingham, Carlos Pena, Jason Kubel, Denard Span and Drew Storen.

Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is a painful disease that results from the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. After varicella (chickenpox) infection, the virus lies dormant for many years and for unknown reasons will become active again and present itself in the form of shingles, an often debilitating and blistering rash that typically affects a side of the body or face. Some individuals may experience severe long-term pain after the shingles rash has disappeared, as well as other complications, including skin infections and scarring, which can interfere with normal day-to-day activities.
Approximately 90% of Canadians have had chickenpox and are at risk of developing shingles. Individuals aged 50 to 60 years may benefit from being immunized against herpes zoster. Immunization is recommended for the prevention of herpes zoster (shingles) and its complications in persons 60 and older without contraindications (National Advisory Committee on Immunization).
