As someone who has written critically of John McCain on a host of issues, including the Keating Five, none of it compares to the life that Barack Obama has led and his belief system. Obama is not merely associated with domestic terrorists, Palestinian radicals, Marxists, and black liberation ideologues – he was their favorite candidate. They groomed him. They befriended him. He befriended them. He socialized with them. In other words, these people saw Obama as representing their views and aspirations and he saw them the same way. I am not among those who raise Obama's associations but add "of course, it doesn't mean Obama shares their views." Oh really? These miscreants include Obama's former pastor, political mentors and allies, and friends. Obama attempts to downplay and distance himself from his own circle of allies now that he is running for president. But he is one of them. Obama is getting a pass that no other candidate in my memory has ever received.
If John McCain had belonged to a church for 20 years and that church advocated white supremacy and the pastor of the church spewed racist propaganda wrapped in Biblical verses — much of which was caught on video-tape — what would we say? If McCain's good friends included people involved in blowing up abortion clinics instead of the Capitol Building, the Pentagon, and police stations, what would we say? If McCain was socially close to a professor with ties to neo-Nazi groups in Berlin, as opposed to a professor who had ties to the PLO, what would we say? If McCain spent his formative years schooled in fascism as opposed to Marxism, what would we say?
Every time Obama's life experiences and character are raised, the response is a diversionary tactic. Today, we're supposed to be impressed with the moral equivalency argument (Ayers = Keating Five), or Obama's associations and friendships aren't what they appear to be, or Obama really isn't like all those people he drew around him, or those raising these issues are guilty of McCarthyism. There are 30 days left in this election. It's high time the Obama fan-dance ended.

Pear, Kiwi, Berry, Flax Seed Smoothie
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
I use a Vita-Mix for this. If you are using a blender, grind the flax seed and bee pollen in a coffee grinder first. This is thick - you can eat with a spoon or drink down with a straw. Flax is very high in lignans which have anti-tumor properties, antioxidants of 800 ppm and could mimic the results of Tamoxifen ---- the anti-cancer drug for breast cancer... with NO side effects! Flax is one of the richest sources of valuable omega-3 fatty acids about 50% of its fat being omega-3's, almost twice as much as fish oil! which lower high blood cholesterol and triglyceride. Omega-3's decrease the probability of a blood clot blocking an artery. They are necessary for visual function, sperm formulation, brain development, and adrenal function. It will lower high blood pressure, and help to decrease allergic response, and may help inflammatory conditions, lower the insulin requirement of diabetics and have been used in the treatment and prevention of arthritis, asthma can be relieved, omega-3's dissolve tumors. Flax is also a great source of fiber. 25-30 Grams of fiber reduces chances of colon and breast cancer. Try it you'll like it. Tastes good and it's good for you!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup yogurt
- 1 kiwi, skin removed
- 2 teaspoons flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon bee pollen (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup of frozen berries, of your choice
- 1 pear, skin and all quartered
- Place ingredients in order starting with yogurt and ending with pear into a Vita-Mix or blender. Process till smooth and creamy.
- If using a blender grind seeds in a coffee grinder first.

I tried this with fresh strawberries, 3/4 pear, 1/2 banana and added 1 T protein powder and a bit of honey. It was very flavorful, but not cold, so I added some ice and that diluted the flavor, so next time, I'll use frozen berries as stated. Never thought of making a smoothie without added liquid. I used my immersion blender and it worked great! Update: I tried this with homemade kefir (need to find more recipes, as you end up with it every day!) and it came out like a tangy, fruity smoothie.
I love the idea of using pear in smoothies! It ended up with a really nice, really thick texture, which I loved. I think this confirmed that I just don't like kiwi in my drinks, lol, so not my favourite combination, but still worth trying. Thanks :)
Nice combination of flavors. I used a berry mix (blue, black and raspberries). I had never thought of putting flax seed in my smoothies. Thanks for the good idea! Made for ZWT III.

Peter: Cuban is a blow hard. He understands business, but tries to implement that strategy on basketball - and he fails almost every time. One title to show for his ownership time as every blind squirrel finds a nut every so often - seemingly overpaying overrated free agents over the last few years. I'd say that Cuban made his money, but is NOT anything close to politically oriented as not everything comes down to dollars and cents (sense). But if you argue that the same applies to the Donald, I'd say that there is a big difference between the 2. Cuban just has no place in political commentary as even if you don't like Trump, Cuban shouldn't be the reason why. He's just another rich blow hard who is back supporting the establishment after a brief interlude with antiestablishment thought. So the status quo seems ok even for him including an eroding middle class and a rigged Wall Street and political system.

Looks like we better start keeping our ponies indoors too.
Pierce County Animal Control hopes to get to the bottom of a vicious pit bull attack involving a pony.
The attacked happened at around one o'clock Saturday morning near the 39-hundred block of Gay Street East in Tacoma. Some nearby neighbors say they heard noises and went outside in time to see two pit bulls hanging off of a shetland pony. The two men clubbed the dogs with pool cues while a woman went for help.

Ladies and gentlemen, Grand Theft Auto V is here and it is certainly the most phenomenal game that the year has to offer. Set in the state of San Andreas, GTA V follows the story of three very different men as they pursue the criminal underworld in pursuit of man's greatest goal: lots and lots of money. The game is presented in an open world format, which can be freely roamed at your own pace. Unlike previous titles, the entirety of San Andreas (Los Santos and Blaine County) is open from the start, so you can choose to explore the world before taking on the Single Player missions, side activities, and everything else San Andreas has to offer. Achievement wise, your time will be split pretty evenly between the Single Player portion of the game, and the Multiplayer portion of the game: GTA Online. Please take note however, that GTA Online does not launch until October 1st. Overall, you'll need to dedicate 150+ hours towards GTA V in order to see the game complete. I know for a fact that each and every hour you invest into this game will be worth it. Be prepared for one of the most entertaining gaming experiences you will have, and remember, have fun!
Like any open-world Single Player title there is no suggested or recommend order in how you should go about your playthrough. Keep in mind however, that you will need to complete the main storyline, earn a Gold Medal in a few hobbies and pastimes, uncover the entire map, and obtain a total of 70 Gold Medals between the story missions and side missions. Since there is so much to do in the world, you might get a little overwhelmed at time; so play at a comfortable pace and make sure to spread out your play time between all three characters and all the different missions and activities. Take note that during the story missions, you will be given the option to skip the entirety of a mission if you die more than five times. Do NOT skip at this point or else the story-related achievement(s) tied to that mission will not unlock.
GTA Online
Grand Theft Auto Online offers an open world experience to be shared with other gamers. It extracts numerous elements from the Single Player, most notably the countless activities and missions to participate in while blending Online components such as matchmaking and shared free roam. There are several ways to launch the Online. When booting the game up, you can click :abut: on the loading screen to join an Online lobby immediately. If you prefer to host your own lobby, allow the Single Player to load. From here, pause your game and scroll over to the "Online" tab. Click "Play GTA Online" and you can now choose to host a Closed Crew Session, Closed Friends Session, Solo Session, or Public Session.
While working your way towards Rank 100 or earning at least 30 Platinum Awards, you will want to make sure to rob all 20 stores around San Andreas, participate in all ten activities, and obtain first place in all fifteen competitive game modes the Online has to offer. There are a few achievements that are tied directly to these game modes, such as winning a Rally Race as a Co-Driver, clearing all ten waves in Survival Mode and completing a Gang Attack without dying. Furthermore, some achievements are Rank specific which include surviving a bounty for a full day, buying real estate, calling in gang backup, and killing a thief who mugged you. Overall, there are no missable Online achievements, so sit back, have fun and "enjoy your stay" on GTA Online.
There are several achievements that are not directly tied to the story and side missions. Tasks such as surviving three minutes on a 3-Star chase, fully modifying both a weapon and vehicle, and making profit in the stock market are just the premise of these miscellaneous achievements. There are also four achievements that can only be obtained while playing as a Trevor, and one achievement that only Michael can work on. Be sure to get these done early on in your playthrough. You will also need to take into consideration that there are 245 collectibles in this game in the form of space ship parts (50), letter scraps (50), toxic waste (30), stunt jumps (50) and aerial challenges (65).
WARNING (POTENTIAL SPOILER): Towards the end of the game, Devin will arrive at Franklin's house and inform him on his next job. CHOOSE OPTION "C" or else you can miss the following achievements if you haven't already obtained them: TP Industries Arms Race, Red Mist, Kifflom!, Three Man Army, Altruist Acolyte, & Wanted: Alive or Alive.
Mop Up
If you have missed any Single Player or Online achievements during your time on Grand Theft Auto V, hop back into either portion of the game for a clean up of whatever it is you still need to work on. Chances are you will need to hunt down some more collectibles, work on your Gold Medals for Single Player, grind out Platinum Awards for GTA Online, or even continue your journey towards that epic Rank 100. At any rate, make sure you snag the remainder of these achievements before putting this game back on the shelf!
This game is bound to leave any gamer fully satisfied. From the moment the game is booted up, everything Grand Theft Auto V has to offer is near perfection. With one of the most beautifully crafted open-worlds and cast of characters and missions, GTA V is a fantastic game that should not be overlooked by anyone. The achievements may take a very long time to complete, but it is more grinding than it is difficult. Let us appreciate the gem that Rockstar has given us before the next generation of consoles in November. GTA V is definitely one of – if not THE – most entertaining video game of this current generation.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/YU/lm/1o...fn+UlJeg==.jpg Solid Gold, Baby! 50:gsicon:
Earn any 70 Gold Medals on Missions, Strangers and Freaks.
All of the story and side missions (Strangers and Freaks) in GTA V have specific requirements that will net you a Gold Medal if you complete them all. These requirements range from completing a mission under a certain amount of time, getting a specific number of headshots, completing the mission with average accuracy, etc.
Fear not, for the requirements do not all have to be completed in one run of the mission and there a total of about 117 missions to work with. Once you complete a mission, you can replay them by pausing your game and going to the "Game" tab in the paused menu. Here, you pick and choose which missions you would like to replay as well as see which requirements you have left to work on.
Be sure to visit THIS THREAD for a breakdown of every Gold Medal requirement for all the missions in the game. Additionally, you can view THIS THREAD for what some community members believe to be the easiest missions to Gold Medal.

Attain 100% Game Completion.
In order to obtain full 100% completion in GTA V and unlock this achievement, you will need to complete the following requirements:
Story Missions
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/C1/ok/0o...fn-QtaEA==.jpg San Andreas Sightseer 30:gsicon:
Explore all of Los Santos and Blaine County.
The entire island of San Andreas is open from the start; however, the world will be hidden on your map by dark clouds of fog until you have explored that area. Once you have explored a certain section of the map, the fog will clear up and you can see the map as normal.
Even though most of the map will be uncovered through natural story progression, the best way to uncover the map quickly would be to use a plane or helicopter. Unlike cars, aircraft will uncover the world much faster as opposed to maneuvering through every street, mountain pass or body of water. Once you have cleared up about 98% of the island and the surrounding waters, the achievement will unlock.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/vl/MF/0I...fn-ypTpQ==.jpg All's Fare in Love and War 10:gsicon:
Purchase Downtown Cab Co. and complete a private fare.
You will eventually come to a point in the main storyline where you can begin to purchase property around the city of Los Santos. Owning a piece of property not only allows you to use their services for free, but you will also net a substantial weekly income as well.
For this achievement, you will want to purchase the Downtown Cab Company which is located on Tangerine Street in East Vinewood. This will set you back $200,000 and can only be bought as Franklin. Now, wait until the manager, Raul, calls you. When he does, he will have a private fare ready for you. Accept this job offer and the letter "P" will appear on the world map. Pick up the customer at the "P" icon and drive them to their destination. When you get there, they might need help with a small mission or they will simply get out of the car and pay you right away. Once you are paid, the achievement will unlock.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/9y/Lx/0o...fn5-3eIus=.jpg TP Industries Arms Race 10:gsicon:
Purchase McKenzie Field Hangar and win the arms race.
While playing as Trevor, you will need to complete the two story missions "Mr. Philips" and "Nervous Ron" before you can buy properties around San Andreas. Upon completing the latter mission, the game will inform you about property buying.
You can actually purchase the McKenzie Field Hanger for $150,000 as soon as you finish the "Nervous Ron" mission, as you will have just enough cash and the mission ends right outside the hanger.
Once purchased, you can begin undertaking trafficking missions for Oscar, who you meet after making the purchase. Arms Trafficking missions are performed in the Cuban 800 airplane parked in the hanger and in the BF Dune Buggy parked outside the hanger. Enter either vehicle in order to receive instructions from Oscar. After completing a mission, you will either need to travel some distance and return in order for the next mission to be available, or quick save and reload your saved file. All in all, there are five of each trafficking missions (air and ground) and the achievement will unlock once all ten are completed.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/ZN/oR/04...fn5-w+2ng=.jpg Multi-Disciplined 30:gsicon:
Attain a gold medal in all applicable hobbies and pastimes.
In GTA V, there are over 60 hobbies and pastimes available around San Andreas. Some of these include Taxi Missions, Races, Parachuting, Triathlons, Sports and more.
For this achievement, you only have to worry about obtaining ONE Gold Medal in the following activities:
A huge thanks to Callum x360a for confirmation on this achievement.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/0d/Mw/0Y...fn5-4f080=.jpg From Beyond the Stars 15:gsicon:
Collect and return all spaceship parts.
While playing as Franklin, you will eventually encounter a mission called, "Far Out One", which will be designated on your map by a green question mark icon. This mission will be direct you to a man named Omega in east Sandy Shore. He will recount a ridiculous tale about an alien ship that crashed in San Andreas and it is up to you to recover all 50 space ship parts for him.
Although this is a Franklin-only mission, you can still recover the ship parts while playing as Michael and Trevor. Each collectible will have a bright gold aura and emit a small humming sound when you are near them. Keep in mind that some parts can only be reached with a helicopter, but you can easily get one from the Los Santos Hospital helipad. If you don't know where that is, jump to 10:39 in the video below and you will see its location. Once you have collected all 50 parts, return them to Omega and the achievement, plus a very unique vehicle, will be yours.
Refer to A Mystery, Solved for a great tip on how to collect the space ship parts quicker, using the taxis in the game, if you do not always have a helicopter.

https://live.xbox.com/tiles/Qi/vQ/0I...fn5---K14=.jpg A Mystery, Solved 15:gsicon:
Solve the mystery of Leonora Johnson.
There are 50 hidden Letter Scraps scattered all over San Andreas and they can be picked up with any character at any time during the game. These letters are small, glowing pieces of paper that were left behind by a serial killer in San Andreas. Like the space ship parts, some of these scraps can only be reached with a helicopter.
After finding all 50 scraps, proceed to the newly discovered green question mark icon in Rockford Hills while playing as Franklin. There, you will meet Leonora Johnson's killer, Peter Dreyfuss. After a short cutscene, it is up to you in deciding Dreyfuss's fate. Regardless of what you do to the man, the achievement will unlock after your decision is made.
It is recommended to work on both set of collectibles after you have purchased the Downtown Cab Company as Franklin. Once you own the company, taxi rides will be free. If you are following the videos, you can just set a waypoint to the next collectible and fast travel to your destination through the taxi cab. Make sure to whistle when you get out of the cab so it stays there while you grab the collectible. Credit goes to WalterWhite for this brilliant idea.

https://live.xbox.com/tiles/u8/By/1Y...fn5-pdwKc=.jpg Waste Management 15:gsicon:
Purchase the old dock and collect all nuclear waste.
Before you can begin collecting the 30 Nuclear Waste collectibles, you will need to buy the Sonar Collections Dock - located in Blaine County - for $250,000. This property can be purchased by any of the three characters and will only be available after completing the "The Merryweather Heist" story mission.
In order to pick up the nuclear waste, which is scattered around the ocean floor, you need to use the yellow submarine that always spawns at the docks of this property. Buying the docks will also give you a new app called "Trackify," which will automatically turn on when entering the submarine as it provides a sonar radar that points to the nearest collectible. The order of collectibles in the video below matches with the order of the Trackify app. The app will not mark any of the waste on your in-game world map and sometimes, a piece of waste is extremely far away on a different part of the coast; so be sure to follow the video to a tee. The submarine is also VERY slow, so if you're trying to collect all the nuclear waste in one run, it will take around two hours.
Fortunately, collecting all the nuclear waste will help uncover the ocean on your map if it is not already cleared up. In addition to this, you will earn $23,000 per piece of nuclear waste you find if you collect them with the character who purchased the Docks, and an additional $250,000 bonus after finding the last piece of waste.

https://live.xbox.com/tiles/KD/iS/1I...fn5-u9ODQ=.jpg Red Mist 20:gsicon:
Complete all Rampages.
Rampages are a form of Strangers and Freaks missions that are only available when playing as Trevor. Like all Strangers and Freaks missions, the first Rampage will appear as an orange question mark on your map. After that, their icon is an Orange Skull but they will not appear on the map until the mission "Friends Reunited" is completed. The goal of these missions is to defeat the required number of enemies in the time allotted. You do not incur a Wanted Level during the challenges which is the fun part.
Overall, there are five different Rampages to complete. The first Rampage will be available after completing the "Trevor Philips Industries" story mission. Below, you can check out where each Rampage is located.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/nT/Gz/1o...fn5-mcMYE=.jpg Show Off 30:gsicon:
Complete all Stunt Jumps.
Within the world of San Andreas, you will come across a total of 50 stunt jumps that you will need to complete for this achievement. Having the right vehicle for each jump is extremely significant. Usually, a fast sports car or motorbike is key for nailing the jumps at top speed; however, certain jumps are more restrictive with their "landing zone" so you may need a slower vehicle. With this said, knowing where to land each Stunt Jump is half the battle. You can land the jump as much as you'd like, but if you do not land in the desired location, it will not count.
The Stunt Jumps are scattered throughout the city Los Santos and valleys of Blaine County. Keep in mind that Franklin is the character of choice for these Stunt Jumps, as his special ability can help make a last second adjustment in mid air or as you are going to launch off the ramp of a jump.
Tip: It is recommended to use your in-game cellphone to quick save before every Stunt Jump. Using this method is great for ensuring that you will never lose any progress if you die or destroy your vehicle. If you fail a jump, just reload your saved file and you will be sitting in your vehicle right in front of the Stunt Jump you just saved your progress at. This is great for saving time instead of having to find a new vehicle or line up the jump again.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/Ds/lT/14...fn5-h8yRI=.jpg Kifflom! 30:gsicon:
Complete your path to enlightenment... or not.
This achievement can only be obtained while playing as Michael and involves a very long process of tedious missions and monetary donations. To begin, pull up your in-game cellphone and access the internet. Type in "Epsilon" in the search bar, click on the first website that comes up, and complete the Epsilon Program Identity Evaluation on the homepage. As soon as you quit out of the internet, there will be a new Strangers and Freaks mission on your map in Raton Canyon. Approach the red truck there and watch the cutscene that ensues. Following this cutscene, Michael will receive an email informing him to donate $500 to the Epsilon website in order to unlock the next mission.
After making the donation and a few in-game days have passed, head to the next Epsilon icon on your map near the corner of Clinton Avenue and Alta Street in Downtown Vinewood. Complete this mission and you will need to donate another $5,000 through their website. During the next mission, you be required to deliver five vehicles to the Epsilon Garage in Vinewood Hills. You will be sent a photo of each vehicle to your cellphone in order to help track them down. If you have a lot of spare cash, access the internet on your cellphone and open the "Travel and Transport" menu. Go to the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website and buy the following vehicles:
After delivering all five vehicles to the Epsilon Garage, you will need to complete another short mission. After this, you will need to make TWO $5,000 donations to the website for the next mission to appear, which tasks you with buying the Epsilon Robes from their website for $25,000. You must now wear the robes for 10 straight days, so return to Michael's house and simply sleep for 10 days straight in order to speed this up. Once this task has been completed, you will receive a text from Jimmy Boston asking you to go Fort Zancudo; complete the next mission there. Following this, proceed to the next Epsilon icon when it appears on your map and make sure you are still wearing the Robes. Talk to the crew there and they will inform you that you need to wander 5 miles in the desert. Distance covered is tracked onscreen above your radar after every 0.1 mile.
Tip: Wrapping a rubber band around the controller's thumbsticks will continuously move Michael in a circle so that you do not have to sit there during the mission. Just be careful not to wonder outside the desert of the tracker will reset.
After completing this dreadful task, make sure you have $50,000 on hand and head over to the Epsilon Center in West Vinewood when the mission appears. Complete this final mission in any way you'd like (to obtain the Gold Medal for this mission; drive to the drop off point, kill the helicopter crew, security guards and back up security, and then drive off with the money) and the achievement is finally yours!
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/AN/10/1I...fn5-tb3Rw=.jpg Three Man Army 20:gsicon:
Survive 3 minutes on at least a 3 star Wanted Level with all three characters together off mission.
The earliest you can attempt this achievement is after the "Friends Reunited" story mission, as this is when all three characters will be available to use within the game. Open up your cellphone, go to "Contacts" and call either one of your partners requesting to hangout. Sometimes your partners may not always be available to hangout because they are sleeping, have an immediate story mission that needs to be completed, or you just did a mission with them. Just keep making calls during your time off-mission until they both are available to hangout.
Once you've requested to hangout with either one, a new stickman icon will appear on your map. This is the location of the person you have just called. Head there, pick them up and then call the other character. Make sure you have a four-door car when picking them up!
Now in order to obtain a 3 Star Wanted level, you will need to either kill a police officer or trespass an airport. Both of these methods will get you 3 Stars right away, however it is recommended to trespass the airport as you can simply drive laps around the immediate area until three minutes have passed. It is also highly recommended to use a car in which you have bought bulletproof tires. Once three minutes have elapsed during the chase, the achievement will unlock. For further explanation on how the Wanted Levels work, CLICK HERE.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/ky/WU/1Y...fn5-q7JY8=.jpg Out of Your Depth 5:gsicon:
You're gonna need a bigger boat...
At any time during your playthrough, make your way to the beach in Western Los Santos and hop into a jet ski near the pier. Drive out into the ocean until the water is dark blue, as this is where you can generally find sharks if you wait long enough (you will know if a shark is nearby when there is a red dot on your mini-map). Once a shark appears, hop off your jet ski and dive underwater. The shark will ignore you at first, but once it gets close it will finally eat you and the achievement will unlock.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/P3/q7/1o...fn5-mUeiM=.jpg Altruist Acolyte 5:gsicon:
Deliver an unsuspecting victim to the Altruist Cult.
During your playthrough, you will sometimes notice your mini-map quickly flash white followed by a flashing red/blue blip. This notifies you that there is a Random Event at that blip. These events range from catching a thief; to gang shootouts and giving a stranger a lift back home. For this achievement, you will need to be playing as Trevor and wait until you encounter a hitchhiker or drunk pedestrian who needs a ride home.
After the story mission, "Friends Reunited," you will arrive in Los Santos and already be playing as Trevor. Around the block from Floyd's safehouse, you will encounter a drunk couple who needs a ride home. You should use this time to get the achievement.
When you pick up the stranger, you will receive a popup notification on your the top left corner of your screen informing you that Trevor can bring them to the Altruist Camp in Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness (Northern Blaine County). A white "A" icon will appear on your map immediately. If you set a waypoint to the Altruist Camp, you can follow the new purple route instead of the yellow route that directs you to their house. Once you arrive at the Camp, Trevor escorts them to the front gate where the cannibals take them off your hands. At this point, you will unlock the achievement.
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/in/Oa/1I...fn5-u1c5Y=.jpg A Lot of Cheddar 20:gsicon:
Spend a total of $200 million across all three characters.
This achievement is extremely straight forward; keep purchasing weapons, vehicle mods, properties, and stocks in order to gain progress towards the $200 million mark. Purchasing properties will be extremely costly; however, the advantage to owning multiple properties at once is that your weekly income will net you a substantial amount of cash which can then be used to buy other things. As for stocks, you will want to invest your money in profitable companies, then sell your share(s) a few days later if they have made profit. In fact, if you are looking for a great way to make some cash off the five Assassination missions while playing as Franklin, refer to THIS THREAD.
Quickest Method: After you have collected your share of money from the "Big Score" mission, you should have around $20 million per each character. Pick any character and invest ALL your money in any stock market. Now IMMEDIATELY SELL ALL your stocks right away to get all your money back. If you do this ten times, the achievement will unlock in a short amount of time because investing money in the stock market counts as spending money for the achievement. Credit goes to DavoK87 and x S 7 R I K E Z for this method!
https://live.xbox.com/tiles/GY/t6/1Y...fn5-pViwU=.jpg Trading Pure Alpha 10:gsicon:
Make a profit over your total investments in the stock market.
At any time during your playthrough, open your cell phone and access the Internet. From here, select the "Money & Services" tab and choose any of the stock markets listed. Now select "Markets" and buy any stock that is rising; you can tell which market is gaining profit by the green arrow next to their name. You can buy any amount of stock you'd like, but one is enough for this achievement.

This achievement can be easily done after completing the fourth story mission when you gain control of Michael outside the car dealership. At this point in the story, he will have around $7,500.

Deliver a bail bond target alive.
Bail Bond missions are only available for Trevor. After finishing his first mission, "Mr. Philips," make your way to the orange question mark icon on the map in Grapeseed. This will lead you to Maude, who will regularly send you emails of Bail Bond targets with their last know location.
The first Bail Bond mission you receive will task you with capturing Ralph Ostrowski, who will be located in the middle of the Davis Quartz Quarry. This area is located just South-East of Trevor's safehouse. Once you arrive at the quarry, head on through the entrance and continue straight on. A set of train tracks should be on your left and you'll then come to a fork in the road; go right. Make another right at the next fork in the road and proceed up the hill.
You will now be positioned at the top of the quarry where the road will spiral down into the center. This is where the Bail Bond target is located. Make your way down there and Ralph will jump into his vehicle and begin drive away. Shoot out his tires to immobilize his vehicle and pull him out of the car. Now get back into your own vehicle with him and return to Maude for your achievement.
If you have missed your chance in obtaining this achievement on the first Bail Bond target, do not worry, there are a few more targets Maude sends you throughout the game. If you need help locating a Bail Bond target, be sure to check out THIS THREAD for a good map of each target's location.

Fully mod a vehicle.
After the story mission, "Father/Son," you can begin customizing your vehicles at the Los Santos Customs shops. These shops will be marked as a spray paint can on your map. Since each car varies from mods and price tags, there is no set vehicle to use for this achievement. Just make sure you purchase one of every upgrade from each section in the customize menu when inside the shop. Depending on your vehicle and which mod suits your taste, you will need to save upwards to at least $40,000 to fully mod your car.
Take note that the achievement only unlocks once you exit Los Santos Customs. Many people are also overlooking the fact that you need to buy one of each Wheel Accessory: Custom Tires, Bulletproof Tires & Smoke Tires; and the Chrome finish in addition to any other regular respray (Classic, Matte, Metallic).

Complete all Under the Bridge and Knife Flight challenges.
There are two types of Aerial Challenges in GTA V; Under the Bridges and Knife Flights. Under the Bridge challenges task you with simply flying under 50 bridges across the world, while Knife Flights require you to "knife" your plane through two buildings. There are 15 Knife Flights located around San Andreas.
If you have tested the Flight School challenges in the Los Santos International Airport, you will already be familiar with what a knife is and how to perform one. If not, a knife is when you roll the plane on its side using the left thumbstick so the wings are vertical with the horizon. To maintain altitude while in this position, hold the opposite rudder (:lbbut: or :rbbut:). For example, if you rolled left and are trying to maintain a left knife, hold :rbbut:. It is recommended to perform the Knife Flight challenges in a slow plane such as the stunt plane or a biplane like a crop duster. You can steal a crop duster around Trevor's McKenzie Field airstrip as they often land there.
Unlike the Knife Flights, Under the Bridge challenges can be completed in any aircraft. You will find out, however, that some aircraft types are much easier than others, depending on the bridge you're trying to fly under. The Buzzard Helicopter is strongly recommended for these challenges. Also, Trevor is the logical character when going for this achievement because he starts off with the highest piloting skill.
You can find helicopters in Vespucci, and planes at any airport or McKenzie Field (Trevor's airstrip). You can also purchase planes and helicopters online (elitastravel.com), as well as military helicopters on warstock-cache-and-carry.com. Remember, if either your helicopter, jet, or plane gets significantly damaged, use the quick save and immediately reload the game. Your aircraft will automatically be repaired when you are loaded back into the game. Also be sure to use of quick save before attempting the harder Under the Bridge and Knife Flight Stunts.

After you finish customizing your character, click "Save and Continue" in order to begin your Online experience.

GTA Online: Reach Rank 100.
Every mission, activity and challenge you complete in GTA Online will net you Reputation Points (RP) which are essentially experience points that increase your overall Rank. In order to reach Rank 100, you will need to gain exactly 1,584,350 RP. It is recommended to complete as many Jobs and activities available whenever you are playing online in order to net a good amount of RP during your session. Also, do take note that playing with crew members and full lobbies will net your more RP at the end of an activity.
One of the best, fool-proof methods in ranking up quickly would be to a boosting partner and complete the "Criminal Records" Race. In order to load that up quickly, follow these steps: Pause > Online > Jobs > Host Job > Races > Criminal Records.
Now, just set the "Vehicle Type" to Super and "Laps" to TWO. On average, each lap will take about 35 seconds and you will gain around 500-2000RP at the end of the race, depending on when place you finish in. In addition to this, you will also net an additional 700-6000RP+ (dependent on your Rank) for various bonuses upon completing the very first lap of this race. The reason this race works so well when ranking up is because the race track is literally a full circle, so there is no worry for tight turns, collisions or traffic.
Overall, this achievement will require some dedicated hours of playtime, but with all the thrilling activities and unique missions around San Andreas, the road to Rank 100 shouldn't be too terrible. Of course, do take advantage of the Criminal Records method, as it will lessen the time it takes to reach Rank 100.
For further tips on how to effectively utilize this method, be sure to visit THIS THREAD. Thanks to Callum x360a, this thread compiles great information in grinding out RP at different Ranks in regards to the Criminal Records Race on GTA Online.

GTA Online: Obtain first place in all competitive game types.
There are several game types that you will encounter during your time on GTA Online. Some are available from the start of the game, while others are only unlocked when you have reached a certain Rank. Do not worry about obtaining each of these wins in a public match against other players, however. You can work on all of these in a Closed Friends Session so long as you have the required amount of players for each game type. Most game types only require two players, while others will require four. Below, you can find a list of all the game types you must win in order to get this achievement.

GTA Online: Use custom vehicles to win 5 races.
After completing the first few Jobs during your Online experience, Simeon will call you and tell you to bring a vehicle to the nearest Los Santos Customs shop in order to insure it. Steal any vehicle you'd like - although a fast sports car or muscle car is suggested - and head to the shop. There, you can insure the vehicle and add a select few mods which will all be free thanks to Simeon.
Upon exiting the shop, you will now be informed about the various Jobs and Races available around San Andreas. Open up the world map and scroll down the map legend until you get to Land Races. Set a waypoint on the nearest one and head over there. When you arrive you will notice a small blue circle at the Race start. Get out of your vehicle and walk inside the circle to start the race.
In the Race Settings Menu, change the "Laps" to ONE, "Vehicle Type" to whichever model your insured vehicle is (Sports, Muscle, Motorbike, SUV) and make sure "Custom Vehicles" is ON. Now invite a friend to the race and when selecting your vehicle, make sure it's your new custom ride you just customized at the shop. Once the race begins, communicate with your partner so they allow you to win the race. Once it is over, you can vote to replay the same race. Obtain four more victories and the achievement is yours.

GTA Online: Complete all 10 waves of a Survival.
You must be at least a Rank 15 to unlock the Survival missions. These missions are essentially a "horde" mode where you will need to fend off against ten waves of enemies. After each wave, you are given a short amount of time to restock on ammo, health, and body armor that is scattered throughout the map. Each wave also becomes progressively harder; enemies will have stronger weapons, attack in larger numbers, spawn in SUV's, or even helicopters.
Once you have reached the required rank mentioned above, Ron will give you a call and fill you in on these missions. After the phone call, open up your world map and find the closest Survival Job which is marked by a shield and cross emblem. At first, there are only three Survival maps you can play on. These are Boneyard, Sandy Survival and Industrial Plant. Railyard Survival will unlock once you have reached Rank 20, and Processed at Rank 25.
Out of the three starting maps, Boneyard would be the best choice. In the middle of this map ,there are two large hangers that have a small fenced off area in between. The fenced area provides excellent cover as enemies will not be able to shoot through the fence, even though you are. If you choose this method, make sure to have at least two other players with you; one will need to cover the doorway into the fenced area, and the other two should cover either side of the hanger by shooting the enemies through the fence.
Make sure to follow these four simple tips and you should be able to clear all 10 waves with less trouble:

GTA Online: Direct a driver to 1st place as co-driver in Rally Mode.
Rally Mode Races can be launched through the regular Land Races that are found around Los Santos. When you enter the blue circle of the Race start, a Settings Menu will immediately drop down. Change the "Race Type" to Rally Mode and now invite your partner(s). Take note that the Rally Mode Race can only begin if there is an even amount of players in the lobby.
In the "Settings Menu", assign your partner to the "Preferred Driver" and select which role you would like to be, whether it is Driver or Co-Driver. The Driver - obviously - will maneuver the vehicle throughout the race but will not be able to see the checkpoints. It is up to the Co-Driver to direct the Driver throughout the course as only they are able to see the checkpoints.
Communication is KEY while going for this achievement. If your Co-Driver is not giving you precise directions, the Driver will have no idea where to go. Once your Driver has crossed the finished line in first place, whoever is taking the role of the Co-Driver will unlock the achievement.

GTA Online: Survive with a Bounty on your head.
Before you can attempt this achievement, you must be a Rank 10. Now Lester will give you a call, so head over to his house for a short cutscene where he informs you about Bounties. Load up a Private Lobby with a friend who is also a Rank 10 and have each player call Lester. There will be an option to "Place a Bounty" on a player in the lobby for a minimum of $2,000. Place a bounty on each other and simply wait for 24 in-game hours (45 minutes real-time) to pass.
Be sure NOT to kill each other, or it will void the achievement; however, if an NPC kills you, it does not void the time. Furthermore, if you decide to perform any activity within the world, the timer will pause; so make sure both of you just stand still until time has elapsed.
Take note that you can get kicked for inactivity if you are standing idled for too long! To avoid getting kicked out of the lobby and ruining your progress towards the achievement, it is recommended to either cruise around the city in a car or hang out in your apartment - if you have one - until the achievement unlocks.
Alternatively, you can try to get this achievement solo if you do not have anyone to place a bounty on you. Often times, when you hijack enough vehicles during your online session, the NPC you hijacked will text you with a threatening message informing you that they are going to get back at you. Shortly after, Lester will call you and let you know that the NPC has placed a bounty on you. If this happens, follow the method above in order to pass 24 in-game hours.

GTA Online: Finish a Gang Attack without dying and kill at least 10 enemies.
Gang Attacks will only unlock once you have reached Rank 18. After hitting this Rank, you will receive a phone call from Martin informing you of local gangs hanging around San Andreas. Your goal is to terminate these gangs from their hideouts.
Gang Attacks are indicated by large, yet faint, red circles on your mini-map. Take note that these red circles DO NOT appear on the world, so keep your eyes peeled when cruising around Los Santos and Blaine County. Once you enter the circle, the Gang Attack will begin as AI gang members will start attacking you. You will need to eliminate the entire group of gang members - ranging anywhere from 15 to 30 enemies - until the area is clear. Simply survive the entire assault without dying and get at least ten kills.
While this can be done on your own, it would be beneficial to work on this with at least one other player. This way, your partner can take all the damage and clear out the rest of the gang hideout once you have obtained your ten kills. The achievement will unlock once the Gang Attack is complete.

There are a total of 85 Awards available Grand Theft Auto Online. These Awards are essentially a set of small challenges that range from getting a certain number of kills with a weapon to changing your outfit a number of times and winning a few rounds of the different sports and around San Andreas.
While most Awards have different tiers of medals - Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum - there are exactly 22 challenges that will net you a Platinum Award upon immediate completion. Once you have earned at least 30 Platinums, you will unlock the achievement. Remember, you can always check your progress for these Awards by following these steps: PAUSE > STATS > AWARDS.
Please utilize THIS THREAD for a checklist of all 85 Online Awards! This link also points out the 22 Platinum-only Awards and will provide great tips on how to get the easiest Awards during your Online play.

GTA Online: Hold up all 20 Stores.
Shortly after finishing your first official job for Lamar, he will give you a call and fill you in on your next Job in which you will have to hold up a store for some cash. After the phone call, pull up your cellphone and click "Jobs List." Activate the sole Job available and follow the waypoint to the nearby gas station. Once you are there, head inside and hold up the store by pointing your gun at the cashier. As he is filling up a bag with money, you can shoot at him to make him move faster. After he hands over the bag, exit the store and lose your Wanted Level.
Now open up your world map and scroll down the map legend with the D-pad until you get to the store icon. Here, you can filter through each of the 20 stores around San Andreas and set waypoints to their location. Take note that you can rob multiple stores in one go.
For the quickest method in obtaining this achievement, try to hit as many stores possible before the police manage to kill you. Also, instead of waiting for the cashier to fill the bag with money, punch him or kill him right away and press :dright: when behind the register to empty it yourself.
You may notice the store you just robbed disappears from your world map, but don't worry; it still counts so long as you collected the money inside. It disappears because the shop "closes down" after being robbed. If for whatever reason you lose track of your progress while working on this, you can tell which store has been successfully robbed by the indication of a small green check mark next to their icon on the world map.

Below, you will find a checklist outlining the activities required or this achievement. As with the Platinum Awards, you can check your progress towards these activities by following these steps: PAUSE > STATS > UNLOCKS > PROGRESS.
You will notice there are far more activities listed in the Progress Menu than there are in the checklist below; however, the only activities that count towards the achievement are listed here. Furthermore, next to each activity, there will be a "No" or "Yes" indicating whether or not you have completed or participated in that specific activity. You will want to make sure all your activities say "YES" next to them. If you quit out of any of these, the activity will be marked "YES", but it will not count towards the achievement. Please be aware that Arm Wrestling, Darts, Golf, Tennis and the Strip Club activities will only be available past Rank 7.

To get this achievement, you will need to be playing with someone who has already reached Rank 50. Once a player reaches this Rank, they will have the ability to hire a Mugger for $1,000 through their in-game cellphone by calling Lamar. Take note that the player you are calling the hit on must have at least $5,000 on hand to get this done.
Set up a Closed-Friends Lobby and meet up in an enclosed section of the city with very few cars. The top floor of a parking garage or the desert of Sandy Shores works perfectly for this. After the Rank 50 player calls the hit on you, an enemy NPC will come and knock you down, stealing all your money. There will be a short delay before you are able to stand up, so pan the camera around to see where the Mugger runs off to. Once you get up, chase him down and kill him to obtain the achievement.

Near the beginning of your Online experience, Simeon will tell you to grab a vehicle and bring it to the nearest Los Santos Customs shop. Here, you can respray and insure the vehicle for free, because he is covering the cost.
As for the apartment and garage, you must be at least a Rank 5 before you can purchase property. Once you are of rank and have enough money, pull up your in-game cellphone and check the real estate advert, "Dynasty 8" on home page of the Internet. Find an apartment with an attached garage that is both affordable and suits your needs, then purchase it through the website. The achievement will unlock immediately after purchasing the apartment and garage if you still own your insured vehicle.
Many people have reported that if you try to buy an apartment or garage through the real estate signs on the actual property, the achievement will not unlock. So make sure you do it through the Internet. A big thanks to Just Blaze for confirmation on this!

Good start, thanks for info.
Jewel Store Job.
Great start. This thing looks awesome! Thanks for your efforts with this.
One thing you might want to add is that if you have a social club account linked to your gamertag you can go the GTA V section of the social club website (in real life, not the game). If you look under Career, then checklist, it shows you which missions, pastimes, random events, etc you've done and have yet to do. There is even a map which shows the collectables you've gotten.
This should be the link
I think you can part fill the "Crew Cut" achievement in with details.
Although, the MP is all BAR4D! Well, not ALL him, but he really wants to write those up :p
Are you sure you have to complete all 58 Strangers & Freaks missions for the 100%? According to the Social Club, you only need 20 of them.
And for Miscellaneous, I think 16 of the 30 objectives are only required. Would any 16 work? For Miscellaneous, I've: Purchased a haircut, walked and played fetch with Chop, completed a booty call, serviced a prostitute, used the car wash and visited a cinema, and 4 of those 6 counted towards the 100%, and none are listed above. Which 4, however, I have no idea.
And since collecting the 50 spaceship parts and letter scraps are part of the Miscellaneous category (as shown on the Social Club), do you have to do those in addition to 16 Miscellaneous objectives?
Here is a screenshot of my Social Club checklist:
As far as the Misc. stuff you mention, again, I haven't reviewed that in the club site yet, I am basing this information right from the Strategy Guide's 100% checklist.
any idea when the collectible/stunt video guides will be available?

The game has 12 screens with 3 in each setting : town, cactus patch, woods and caves. There are spikes and mushrooms to avoid - tumbleweed, acorns and rocks to dodge - and a few other obstacles to test your wits.
Your balloon can bounce against the other objects (houses etc) 10 times before it will burst and send you back to the start of the screen. Each completed screen records your score, and allows you to proceed to the next level - if you have scored above 0. Higher scores are achieved by increasing your speed and reducing your 'Ouches'. During each circuit, you can revisit completed levels to improve their score - but score 0 and you will be set back to this level. A high score is recorded when the balloon is brought home.
Complete all screens to bring the balloon back to it's owner. Once complete you can play again to improve your skills and better the high score.
How to play
Tilt your device left, right, back and forward to guide your balloon around the screen.

Beautiful graphics! Super gameplay!
First thing that grabbed me about this game was the quality of the graphics - absolutely stunning and a pleasure to look at!
The game concept is simple - direct the Loony Balloon through a landscape without popping the balloon! Found it quite tricky at first but soon got the hang of it and managed to complete my first level. I am pleased I did as there are some fabulous scenarios and landscapes in the later levels, my favourite being the windmill that requires careful negotiation.
This game is certainly going to keep me entertained over Christmas and challenging entertainment too!
Worth the money for the graphics alone but that is only the icing on the cake!
Fun with high quality graphics
This is a fun little game with really lovely illustrations and animations. Great gameplay.

We planned a trip to wine vineyards kind of short notice and stumbled upon the trailer on line. The retro decor was intriguing and also the fact that it wasn't a typical hotel.

Paris Hilton Endorses Controversial L.A. Rave Promoter Insomniac Events
Paris Hilton raves.
Alex CD
It's been a rough week for raves in L.A. As the Los Angeles Times blew the lid off a strange relationship between the public Coliseum's events manager and the controversial promoter of megaraves there, a prominent Coliseum leader said a ban of the parties at the taxpayer-owned venue is a strong possibility.
That would be a bummer for Insomniac Events: The office of Councilman Bernard Parks tells us summer's two-day Electric Daisy Carnival at the Coliseum generates $33 million in revenue, even if it sent 200 people to seek medical help last year. Whew. $33 mil. That's, like Paris Hilton money.
And who happens to come along with a MAJOR endorsement of Insomniac this week?
Yep, Ms. Paree, who tweets:
"Can't wait for this event! Going to be incredible and so much fun! Such a great line up!"

Los Angeles Angels vs. Seattle Mariners
TicketsMon., Aug. 15, 7:05pm
The event in question is called Beyond Wonderland, and it happens March 19 and 20 not at the Coliseum but at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino.
That lineup? Not bad: Kaskade, Dirty South, Calvin Harris, Funkagenda, and more.
Does Hilton know Dirty South from Diddy? Don't think so.
Still, massive, massive shout, considering that Hilton gets paid for lesser nods -- for example, to appear and some guido'd out bottle-service club in Vegas.
And what a coincidence, she gives the party a big-up on the same day Insomniac announces the lineup. Huh.
Can't really picture Paris Hilton glowsticking in her Louboutins, but we have spotted her at Coachella and in Miami during the DJ-industry retreat known as the Winter Music Conference, so you never know, maybe she will make a special (unpaid, of course) appearance in lovely San Bernardino.

Not having Internet at the place I use this device was going to be a problem for most other machines. This Sylvania NB530SLX turns out to be a great buy. It plays regular DVDs, Blu-Rays. and CDs as well. Vey good picture and audio. I had it up and running in less than three minutes. I really like this machine and I think you will too.

In January, President
Obama announced that Maine was awarded $35 million in American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funds for the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority.
On July 7, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said that the U.S.
Department of Transportation and the State of Maine have finalized a grant
agreement allowing work to begin on the rehabilitation and expansion of the
popular state-supported Downeaster Amtrak intercity passenger service.
Intergraph Corp., a provider
of engineering and geospatial software, has signed a definitive agreement to be

With temperatures expected
to reach the upper-90s or higher through this week, Philadelphia's SEPTA is
taking a number of steps to prevent heat-related disruptions to customers. SEPTA
officials are monitoring the system for potential infrastructure-related issues
that can be caused by excessive heat, such as sagging overhead power lines and
track buckling. To help prevent these problems, SEPTA is slightly reducing the
maximum speeds for some trains. This adjustment also reduces the amount of
electricity needed to run the trains, which helps cut down SEPTA's overall draw
on the region's power system. In addition to this effort, SEPTA is taking all
possible measures to minimize energy consumption at its maintenance facilities,
offices and stations.
Slowly, mass transit is
taking hold in a city synonymous with the car. Now a light-rail line is finally
coming to the affluent and traffic-choked Westside after years of local
resistance, and at least some urban-style development is likely to follow, the
New York Times reports.
Results from a recent
online survey administered to Northstar Commuter Rail customers and the general
public found that 79 percent of respondents support government funding to
extend rail service to St. Cloud, Minn..
Starting July 12, nearly
two-dozen weekday trains on the Metra BNSF Line between Chicago and Aurora, Ill.,
will see minor schedule changes to accommodate a major construction project
and/or to make the schedules more reliable. In most cases, the trains will have
slightly later or, in a few instances, slightly earlier departure times from
some or all stations. Some of the changes will result in a slightly longer
overall trip, but in other cases the total run time will not be affected.
Nearly two decades after
the Chicago and North Western Railroad closed up shop in Chadron, Neb., a new
railroad company is bringing the Chadron rail-yards, and the railroad
roundhouse back to life, the Chadron Record reports. And principals in the new
company say they see tremendous potential for niche railroad services in the
community, based on the community's location near a main BNSF rail line, and
the presence of a roundhouse that can handle repair and refurbishing of large
railroad equipment.

Is there a tutorial on using Custom Post Types and the Ephemera widget.
I created a custom post "quote". As soon as it was posted it appeared in the blogroll.
I added the Ephemera widget to the left sidebar and added quotes where it appears.
I could trick it with an old date for the post I guess but it would be better if there was a CSS fix or the old button option.
