- "You're a pill-popping old queen, man. I'm a murdering maniac. But we survived, bro...we survived."
- ― Luis Lopez
- "We did more than survive, amigo. We prospered. We took on this town and we won. We took on this place and we gave it the fucking finger. Fuck you all! I don't care what people say. Tony Prince and Luis Lopez could not be stopped."
- ― Gay Tony
Departure Time is the final storyline mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Since dialogue states that "Rascalov is dead" by a goon in the mission, the mission would take place sometime after the mission A Dish Served Cold (if the Revenge option is chosen), or after the mission A Revenger's Tragedy (if the Deal option is chosen). This would mean that the mission takes place after the events of Grand Theft Auto IV, and is also the final mission in the entire Grand Theft Auto IV trinity.
After a heated argument in Gay Tony's apartment between he and Luis Lopez over how Luis seriously contemplated killing Tony (on orders of Rocco Pelosi and Uncle Vince), and how it has lead to Tony being wanted by the Bulgarin Family and the Ancelotti Family thus making his life completely unsafe, Luis and Tony agree to do one final mission together; they must confront and defeat Ray Bulgarin (who was a minor antagonist in Grand Theft Auto IV) at the Funland in Broker, and also destroy the Heroin he has stashed there. During the ride there, Luis and Tony agree that Tony -- who will not go home or to the clubs due to how he is heavily wanted -- will wait around the Dukes Monoglobe, and Luis, if he survives will rendezvous with him there.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Crocket Ave
- Go into Funland
- Destroy the heroin
- Get to the other side of Funland
- Destroy the remaining heroin shipment
- Take out Timur and get to the airport in 2 hours
- Get on the bike
- Get to Dukes Expressway
- Follow Yusuf to the airport
- Chase after The Blue Ghawar jet
- Take out Bulgarin's men
- Execute Bulgarin
- Go to the Dukes Monoglobe
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in under 10:00
Take less than 50% damage
Kill 25 enemies via headshots
Have 70% Accuracy
After the intense cutscene, drive to the funland in Broker (don't get the car, you or Tony killed). Once there, Tony leaves for Meadows Park. After potentially hearing Timur comment that Dimitri Rascalov is dead (thus proving this mission takes place after or during the end of Grand Theft Auto IV depending on which ending was taken), Luis must destroy three duck-shaped bins containing heroin. Shoot your way through Ray's guards, sticking to cover, as the theme park is a maze with dozens of ways to be flanked and surrounded. Rifles and explosives are a good way to clear a path. Taking out the nearby vans often destroys the bins and is fairly simple, especially if you have the Explosive Shotgun, which can wreck the vans in a few shots from a considerable distance.
After taking out all three, Luis discovers that Ray isn't there. Take a moment to recuperate health if you need to, from the First Aid Kit near the last van, or with the food vendors on the boardwalk, who can be accessed during the mission, and pick up the body armor. Shoot your way through the east side of Funland, taking down more guards and destroying one last bin at the far end of the area. In a minor cutscene, Timur arrives with backup and tells Luis that he's too late - Bulgarin is about to escape back to Europe in a private jet. Quickly, equip a weapon and kill Timur before he has a chance to get away, then take control of a Bati Custom found nearby.
Luis is now to head to the airport via Dukes Expressway. Along the way Yusuf Amir calls, and Luis will inform him of the situation. Yusuf offers his assistance, but Luis declines. However, upon reaching the Expressway, Yusuf will appear in his gold Buzzard. The player now must follow him - he will destroy any Russians along the way with homing missiles (that, strangely, are unusable -- only the non-homing missles can be used).
After finally reaching the airport, Yusuf wishes Luis good luck. Make your way to the runway, where you see Bulgarin's blue Ghawar preparing to take off. During this time you must catch up to it before it departs. Make sure to lean forward on the bike during straight to get a little extra speed boost. Be ready to turn right, as the plane will make a sudden turn to the right. Now, gain as much speed as possible. A Russian will appear on the stairway of the plane. Take him out and get close to the stairs to trigger a short cutscene; another goon shows up. Luis shoots him off the plane and spectacularly jumps onboard. Once inside, you must take out the last of Bulgarin's goons. After taking them out, Bulgarin finally comes out of the cockpit, face to face with Luis, with a grenade in his hands. Bulgarin threatens Luis that he will activate the grenade, killing both himself and Luis, if Luis shoots. However, Luis says that he will take his chances. Execute Bulgarin and he will activate the grenade as his last action. The jet then explodes in mid air - blasted in half. Miraculously still alive, Luis finds a parachute and dives out of the jet as it nosedives into the sea. Luis parachutes back to Liberty City as "No Security-Kerris" plays. Now, get back on the road and head to the Monoglobe to conclude the mission.
Upon arriving, a cutscene will be played that shows a homeless man walking the street and looking for food. Luis bumps into him, spilling a trash can. Luis will help him up and walk away, after which the homeless man finds a stash of diamonds - Bulgarin's diamonds. He then walks away laughing with joy. Later in the credits, he can be seen in a mansion in Westdyke full of women, in which he will be dancing on the diving board.
Tony will meet Luis and make amends, Tony reflecting on how he squandered his ambition to see the world by going to Algonquin, where '...the world came to me.' Luis still remains a little cynical, amused that two such different people have become so close. Yusuf shows up and greets the duo, later mentioning that he wants to franchise the clubs. Tony points out that his clubs are more about the people than the style, Yusuf replies "Whip out your dick and piss all over them!", as the three friends walk away, thus ending the game and the Grand Theft Auto IV Era.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
- Completing this mission unlocks Yusuf's Golden Buzzard, much like his Super Drop Diamond, to be collected from the Helipad on the West River in Algonquin - and as a result, replaces the Swift there. Also, the player can now call Henrique for an APC, Armando for a Gold SMG, and finally the ability to replay all the storyline missions is now available from the phone, under the "Missions" text.
- Timur - Killed by Luis for threatening the lives of Tony and himself.
- Ray Bulgarin - Killed by Luis for threatening and attempting to murder him and Tony.
- It should be noted that Tony says that he is going to hide in Middle Park, not Meadows Park, but he still mentions the Monoglobe, and Luis tells him to hide there.
- It is possible to detach the parachute and the player will not fail the mission unless Luis falls to the shore and dies. If the parachute is detached above the ocean, Luis will land in the ocean and survive, but it will take a while to swim to shore.
- The song featured in the parachute scene after Ray's death and Luis' clever remark was No Security by Kelis Ft. The Crookers, this song can also be heard on Electro-Choc.
- Ray's clothes might change if the mission is replayed frequently.
- It is possible to kill the Russian shooting at you from the plane's set of stairs, and his body will fall off the plane, but the cutscene of Luis shooting him still plays normally.
- Strangely, Luis asks Tony to hide not far from Bulgarin's house.
- The Bati Custom used in this mission is scripted to never outrun Yusuf's Buzzard, meaning it will never get caught in Yusuf's rocket blasts, likely to make this mission easier. It is also the only mission to obtain it in TBOGT.
- The four-star wanted level earned for entering the airport is also scripted differently; although the wanted level is earned normally, no police officers will spawn in the airport. This was also likely done to make the mission easier, as trying to catch up to the plane while evading police vehicles would be near impossible.
- Oddly, Luis was not wearing a parachute before entering the plane, and there wouldn't have been any time to take one inside the plane; due to the explosion inside the plane, there would have been no chance of Luis' survival, as everyone inside would have been sucked out when the cabin depressurized.
- This mission has a similar resemblance to the GTA SA mission Stowaway. Luis and Carl must enter the plane by riding the motorcycle given to them up the runway onto either a ramp or stair case. Once on the plane, they need to kill all the passengers on board and complete the main objective. Once finished, the mission ends with Luis and Carl jumping from the destroyed aircraft, and parachuting back down to the ground from extreme heights.
- It seems slightly unrealistic that while so many shots were fired inside the plane, none of the windows were shattered by bullets, which would be a major risk, seeing as it would depressurize the entire cabin.
- During the cutscene where Luis is talking to Tony in the park, you can hear Yusuf landing his golden Buzzard close to them.
- Timur sometimes mentions Dimitri Rascalov's death in this mission, meaning this mission takes place after the final mission of GTA IV, whichever one is chosen.
- This is one of two missions to feature both the Diamonds and the Heroin, the other one being The Cousins Bellic.
- This is one of two missions in TBOGT in which an airplane is destroyed, the other one being Bang Bang.
- The place in Funland where Luis exits the car is the same place where Roman is picked up by Niko during That Special Someone
- During the part where Luis has to make his way to the airport, even if the missiles fired from the Buzzard miss the Russian mob's cars, they will still be destroyed.
- All the Russians that Luis killed inside the Ghawar will disappear when Bulgarin confronts him.
- This is the only time you enter a plane in the GTA IV Era.
Tips & Tricks
- Basically, you need to go for the 3rd bin, to your left where you start, the 1st bin. Straight ahead where you start, the 2nd bin, in between bins 1 and 3 , and then the 4th bin, to your right where you start. Chase after Timur and kill him.
- The amusement park is full of propane tanks, and enemies just love to stand by them- shoot the tanks to save bullets.
- Many surrounding buildings are climbable- stand on them to quick kills to make the time limit, stocking up on sniper rifle ammo beforehand will assist you further.
- Whilst chasing Bulgarin's jet, push the (XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) forward to increase speed.
- As you're parachuting to the Monoglobe, hold the (XBox 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) back to save airtime and not have to find a car and follow the rules of the roads.
- After destroying all bins, and Luis and Timur's conversation, quickly get out of cover and use any powerful weapon to kill him around the corner. This is best done with the Explosive Shotgun.
- While parachuting out of the jet, you can release the parachute by pressing (Xbox 360) or (PS3) which will make you fall into the water. Best to do this when you can see Luis' arrow next to the ground on the mini-map, but still in the water area. You can swim to shore, find a car (there is a Turismo in Beachgate near Faustin's mansion) and drive to waypoint, which can save a lot of time if done correctly.

Officials are cautioning residents to stay off the roads in Maine, where up 30 inches of snow has fallen and visibility is near zero.
GRAY, Maine (AP) _ State Police spokesman Steve McCausland said numerous vehicles, including several state police cars, are getting stuck in the deep snow. He said stranded drivers should expect long waits for tow trucks or other assistance.
National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Legro said conditions are worsened by wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph. He said snow is falling at a rate of 1-2 inches per hour and expected to continue until about noon.
Maine Emergency Management Agency Director Rob McAleer said the E-ZPass lanes at the Maine Turnpike are closed, and toll booth workers in the cash lanes are warning drivers about the treacherous driving conditions.

VIEW Conference Unveils 2012 Highlights
Dedicated to bringing together experts from around the world to inspire, engage, teach, and astound, VIEW, Italy's leading computer graphics symposium, proudly announces highlights from its upcoming 13th annual confab.
"This is shaping up to be one of the most exciting VIEW conferences ever," says conference director Maria Elena Gutierrez. "We are privileged to bring two feature film directors to Torino this year, Genndy Tartakovsky and Eric Darnell. Also, the European premiere of the Pixar Animation Studios latest short, Partysaurus Rex presented by its director Mark Walsh and also the amazing Gary Rydstrom from Skywalker Sound, and director Dan Attias who shares his award-winning expertise in broadcast television. Plus, we have highly-honored speakers from the top visual effects and game development studios. And, we are offering our first Creative Bootcamp. I couldn't be more thrilled with the program this year."
Presenting the Italian premier of footage from Sony Pictures Animation's feature film Hotel Transylvania, Genndy Tartakovsky shares his experience directing this CG feature, his first. Tartakovsky has received 12 Emmy nominations and won three Emmys for his work in broadcast television, and in 2007, he received the Annie Awards' Winsor McCay Award.
Writer/director Eric Darnell introduces VIEW to the wacky world of PDI/Dreamworks' Madagascar 3, the third film that Darnell has directed in the series. The critically-acclaimed Madagascar 3 has now earned more than half a billion dollars at the box office. Dan Attias, one of the top television directors in America, has 65 titles to his name including episodes of The Killing, House, Raising Hope, and Alias. In addition to winning the Directors Guild of America award for The Wire, Dan Attias has received DGS nominations for Six Feet Under and The Sopranos, and Emmy nominations for Entourage.
This year, Skywalker Sound's Gary Rydstrom, who joins the roster at VIEW for the first time, added sound design for Disney/Pixar's Brave and Wreck-It-Ralph to credits that extend across 96 films and videos for which he has received a remarkable seven Oscars and 16 Oscar nominations. Gary Rydstrom received two Oscar nominations in 2012, for sound mixing and sound editing for Steven Spielberg's War Horse.
In addition to these directors and sound designer, VIEW welcomes key artists from the visual effects studios behind films certain to be on the short list for 2013 visual effects Oscar.
Two-time Oscar nominee and Oscar winner (Inception) Paul Franklin, and one of the VIEW's favorite speakers, is back to present the Double Negative's work on Warner Bros.' The Dark Knight Rises. Jason Smith, associate visual effects supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic, joins VIEW for the first time to present the digital effects in Paramount Pictures' incredibly popular The Avengers, which has grossed $1.5 billion dollars at the box office. Animation supervisor David Schaub from Sony Pictures Imageworks, whose presentation on animation two years ago at VIEW ranks as one of the best ever, returns to soar through the studio's work on Marvel Studios and Columbia Pictures' The Amazing Spider-Man.
Also highlighting the conference are these can't-miss speakers:
Josh Holmes, creative director of HALO, who will premiere HALO 4. Rex Grignon, head of animation at DreamWorks Animation. Mark Walsh, supervising animator at Pixar Animation Studios. Rob Bredow, CTO at Sony Pictures Imageworks. Chris Perry, founder of Bit Films, professor of media arts and sciences at Hampshire College, and a technical director for A Bug's Life and Finding Nemo. Vander Caballero, creative director for Minority Independent Studio, and creator of the beutifully compelling PAPO Y YO. And, video game evangelist Marco Mazzaglia.
And, with an eye toward the use of digital technology in everyday life, VIEW 2012 launches the exciting and innovative VIEW CREATIVE BOOTCAMP.
In this multi-day event, participants will explore ways in which technology, society, economies and industries may evolve. The workshop will bring together leaders working in many industries to flex their creative powers. Together, they and the participants will design state-of-the–art cars, personal robots, miniscule medical equipment, smart running shoes, self-healing buildings, and, of course, future games and movies. Led by Glenn Entis co-founder of PDI, former chief visual officer for Electronic Arts, and now a founding partner in Vanage Capital, and Tom Wujec, Autodesk fellow and author of three books on innovation, the Creative Bootcamp promises to be a lively, interactive workshop that propels participants into new worlds of the future.
"With the Creative Bootcamp, we're extending VIEW 2012 beyond entertainment into the real world in exciting new ways," Gutierrez says. "It will be a wonderful adventure for the people who choose to attend."
In addition to the speakers, VIEW 2012 again offers its extremely popular, practical workshops geared toward professionals and aspiring professionals who want to perfect their craft. A list of these workshops, which participants can reserve in advance, is on the VIEW conference website.
Preceding the VIEW conference, the annual VIEWFest, the Italian evolution of Resfest, features a screening of Disney/Pixar's Nemo in stereo 3D, a compilation of Pixar Shorts, and the European premiere of Siggraph 2012's Electronic Theater, a selection of the best short films, visual effects excerpts, scientific visualizations, game cinematics, and commercials.
"We are so fortunate to be able to bring such talented and highly-honored artists to Turin," says Gutierrez. "I am grateful so many people are willing to help us continue building the best digital technology conference in Italy. They inspire me. I know they will inspire all the professionals and aspiring professionals who attend. I cannot wait for this conference to begin."
VIEW Conference 2012 is made possible with the support of: Piedmont Region, Province of Turin, City of Turin, Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione CRT, Chamber of Commerce of Turin and Autodesk.
Registration is now open for the VIEW conference, which takes place October 16 to 19, and for VIEWFest, our digital movie festival following the VIEW Conference from 19 to 21 Oct. For more information, please visit our website www.viewconference.it www.viewfest.it

According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly seven in 10 people over age 65 will need long term care at some point in their lives. But a recent poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that most Americans don't believe they'll ever need long-term care, and don't plan much for it. A bill in Maine seeks to help seniors pay for this care by using life insurance policies. As Patty Wight reports, supporters say the bill gives seniors more choice about their care and saves the state's MaineCare program money.
There are essentially two ways to pay for end-of-life care: out-of-pocket, or through Medicaid, known here as MaineCare. Many middle-class Mainers dig into their savings to pay for their care, but those funds can be quickly exhausted. When that happens, it's time to look at other options and assets, such as life insurance.
A life insurance policy can be cashed in, but the problem, says Democratic Sen. Margaret Craven, is that the return is pennies on the dollar. "So they may have a life insurance policy for $100,000, for example, and they'll get $5,000 cash for it, even though they've been paying for that all their life."
Some people decide to dump their life insurance policy completely so they can qualify for MaineCare - there are strict rules regarding eligibilit for MaineCare, including the status of your assets. Craven is sponsoring a bill that allows people to convert their life insurance to pay for their long term care without disqualifying them from MaineCare if they ultimately need it. It also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to inform seniors of this option.
Craven got the idea from a guy named Chris Orestis, the CEO of LifeCare Funding. LifeCare Funding is based in Portland, but it works with seniors across the U.S. to convert their life insurance policies to pay for long term care. Orestis says there are half a million life insurance policies in Maine right now, worth a total of $98 billion, a huge resource.
"The unfortunate thing is, everybody knows that you can sell a home and do what you want with your proceeds, but too few people know that they could do the same thing with a life insurance policy," Orestis says.
That's because when you convert life insurance to pay for long term care, it retains more value than if it's sold for cash. Orestis says a $100,000 life insurance plan is worth about $40,000 to $60,000 as a living asset.
According to Orestis and Sen. Craven, this idea benefits nearly all those involved: Seniors, by paying their own way, have more of a choice in their care; long term care providers get a better reimbursement with private money than they do through MaineCare; and the practice delays when seniors need to enroll in MaineCare, which saves the state money.
Craven says Florida has a similar program. "Florida, as they've calculated it, will save $150 million a year," she told colleagues. "And, of course, we're a much smaller state, but proportionately, we'll save quite a lot of money as well in our MaineCare system."
There is one contingent that might not be happy about efforts to increase the number of people who convert their life insurance into a living benefit: insurance companies. If a senior decides to convert a policy instead of dumping it, the insurance company loses out.
MPBN wasn't able to reach any insurance company officials, but current law already requires companies to inform consumers about this option.

This was a virtually impossible task. Put together a list of 50 must-read science fiction books and don't make anyone angry. Science fiction is the most discussed and argued over genre in literature but it actually goes way beyond books and into film, TV, video games and even toys.
Here are the criteria I used. One book per author, so that was hard on the big three of science fiction – Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke, who each have multiple classic titles to their name. Attempt to show as many sub-genres of science fiction and plot themes as possible. Include early stories that influenced the genre as a whole and launched popular themes, even if those books appear a bit dated today.
I wanted to show the unbelievable breadth of this galactic-sized genre and, of course, I failed because this is just the tip of the spaceberg – there are probably 500 essential science fiction books, not 50.
The War of the Worlds is on the list, a famous example of invasion literature, but I could easily have used The Time Machine. For Ray Bradbury, there's The Illustrated Man but I could have used Fahrenheit 451 or The Martian Chronicles.Many people include alternate reality novels as science fiction but I didn't feel comfortable having them on the list as there's not much science in that sort of fiction.
The list includes hard and soft science fiction. Hard science fiction features great attention to detail in the quantitative sciences, while soft riffs on the social sciences. You'll also find space opera with its heroes and heroines on distant planets; cyberpunk, loved by nerds in goggles everywhere; time travel – a simple concept that's been around since Mark Twain's day; military science fiction where soldiers drive the narrative; dystopian fiction where society has usually gone awry; superhuman stories where humans develop new or greater skills (and that usually means trouble) and the always cheery apocalyptic fiction sub-genre (where we could be battling to avoid the end of Earth or struggling to survive after a catastrophe). There are many recurrent powerful themes such as machine and human relationships, aliens and human relationships, biological and ecological matters, and paranormal activities.
You are spoiled for choice – this list includes novellas, short story collections, a graphic novel and books from published 1864 to 2011.
For further reading recommendations, brush up on the Hugo and Nebula Awards - the winners and the shortlisted titles - and also the books published by Tor (who really know this genre, and fantasy, inside out), as well as Locus Magazine and the science fiction tags on LibraryThing.com.

Members say federal government must ensure border security
A new coalition in San Diego County is lobbying Congress to support a plan that calls for enhanced border enforcement, decreased legal immigration and the end of automatic citizenship for those born in the United States.
The platform from the San Diegans for Secure Borders Coalition comes as elected officials, business executives, law-enforcement leaders and grass-roots activists on various sides of the immigration debate are issuing their own proposals. Congress is debating what could be the largest revamp of the nation's immigration system since the 1980s.
Members of the Secure Borders Coalition said they want to show that many Americans do not support a pathway to U.S. citizenship for unauthorized immigrants living in this country. They also said the federal government must ensure border security before considering any legalization measure for the unauthorized.
The coalition was formed by San Diego residents Jeff Schwilk and Rob Luton. Its plan includes the following points: secure borders, enforce federal immigration laws, require all employers to use the E-Verify system, reduce legal immigration totals, end birthright citizenship, and fix and enforce the guest-worker system.
Legalization for immigrants living in the U.S. without permission would take place only after all the suggested security and enforcement measures are effective, the coalition said. The group's definition of legalization includes permission to stay and work, but not access to citizenship.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – Fort Wayne residents were able to get away in their own backyard with the 15th Annual Be a Tourist Day put on by Visit Fort Wayne.
The tour included twelve different local attractions that were free to experience with a passport from the Visitor's Center.
Science Central, the Lincoln Tower, and the Embassy Theatre were just a few of the sites available to passport holders.
Children were able to experience hands-on fun at Indiana's interactive 70,000 sq. ft. science center, which opened its doors in 1995.
Visitors could also ascend to the top of the Lincoln Tower, which was built in 1930, and for decades was the tallest building in the state. It offers a great view of downtown and the surrounding area, and other stops on the tour were visible, such as Parkview Field and the Embassy Theatre.
The Embassy was built in 1928, and is one of Indiana's largest historic theatres. Currently it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and welcomes more than 110,000 people annually.

People have a huge thirst for connection. How well a song or an experience stays with you can be as easy as answering the question, does this art have resonance, or not? If I were to put together a musically inspired compilation of this year's wide sampling of recorded music that I've heard and the live music that I've experienced this year, it would include an amazing group of talented artists who continue to challenge themselves as they give us something creative and personal. As I surf the memories of my mind from this year I can't help but start at the beginning.

During the Michigan Nonprofit Association SuperConference (May 4-6), major speakers and workshop leaders focused on the challenges and opportunities inherent in our current economic environment.
Every one of the people I listened to – from Juan Williams and Bill Strickland to Patricia Martin and Barry Demp – talked about the need to "critically assess current realities" and "seize the moment" to act with bold ideas and actions.
They talked about assessing social, educational, employment, and political trends, now, compared to the trends when the last major economic downturns occurred…and ask, "How far have we come—or not come" in making the world a better place for every person. And, "How can we NOT lose this opportunity" to make significant improvements our organizations and help people become more self-sufficient at the same time?
Juan Williams told a long story based on [the ghost of] Martin Luther King, Jr. stopping by the conference, today,—40+ years after his death—and viewing current media, topics of conversation, race relations, employment, etc. "He" was stunned: from rap language and hip-hop dress to what is seen on TV sitcoms, to the lack of progress on poverty and illiteracy rates. It was a very powerful scenario that continues to resonate.
They also challenged us to seize the opportunity to take new, bold approaches; collaborate, merge, and develop new organizational models that are more efficient and cost effective while maintaining mission-based work. Consider how many more people could be served if one building housed and administered several nonprofits as a collaborative; where people good at programs and service delivery didn't have to worry about administration and people good at the business-side of nonprofit organizations could do what they do best. Building on strengths and specialties.
Change is often hard. Change can also be exhilarating. Nonprofits are often "not so good" at change that demands creative restructuring: realizing the people needed for today and tomorrow aren't the ones currently onboard; or, realizing others are doing the same things we are…and better; or, listening to new voices from outside whose ideas could improve a program or the entire organization because, "we've always done it this way and by ourselves."
The MNA SuperConference is over for this year. I hope the messages shared here resonate with you as you work through whatever challenges your nonprofit is facing, today. What bold, new thinking can you bring to the table and act upon that will make your mission-driven work stronger for the days and years ahead. Don't be afraid to be great!
"Great work is done by people who are not afraid to be great." ~ Fernando Flores

Ordinarily, I'd be right with you on that mindset. However, the Ames Taco Bell has wreaked havoc on my digestive system one too many times. I'd prefer not being sick when Thursday rolls around.
I refuse to enter the taco bell in Ames. I kinda hoped it would do the francise a favor and die out a while ago...
Maybe it has improved some in the 3 years or so since I last entered it... but I have my doubts.
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!

The TB in Ames is just like every other Taco Bell. I can't imagine one being "better" than any other.

No, they're right. The one in Ames is pretty gross. I try to go only drive-thru at that one.

A buddy of mine got 6 tacos there about 5 years ago. He went and was loading up on Hot Sauce since it was to go. The manager told him he could only have one per taco, and my friend grabbed a couple extra handfuls and walked out. On his way out the guy told him he couldn't ever eat in there again and was trying to have everybody working get a look at him. My friend took no small amount of crap from us for being kicked out of the Ames Taco Bell for life. Shameful
Im just glad I have Homan as my bodyguard, Eustachy joked. If I ever make it real big and get to drive a limo everyday, hell be driving it. I thought he came off the bench like somebody was stealing his cow or something.
Yeah, great promotion for people that actually work. They are giving out the free taco today between 2 p.m. and 5. Like people are going to take work off so they can get there free taco.
Also, I met a lot of Iowa State fans and I dont want to leave any of that behind. - DARIUS DARKS on Staying a CLONE!!!

We use to call the Taco Bell in Ames "Taco Hell" or "Toxic Hell".
You guys are sissies. There is nothing wrong with hair, toadstools, and feces on your burrito grande. It helps fight infection and is loaded with antioxidants.

Development and design
Octavia Melody shares her eye design with Rarity, the spa ponies, and several background ponies, except for the iris. The origin of the name "Octavia" is attributed to both Alex McG in a comment on May 7, 2011, and a Blogger commenter going by the nickname "Octavia."[3] This fan-given name was officially adopted in Enterplay's cards and in Gameloft's mobile game each in 2012 and used in one of Little, Brown's chapter books, being expanded to "Octavia Melody" in Hasbro's toy line and in Funko's vinyl figure line each in 2013. The name "Octavia" likely refers to the musical concept of octaves, whereas "Melody" refers to the term of the same name.While the show does not specifically identify Octavia Melody's instrument, cards state that it is a cello. William Anderson, the show's composer, has relayed to Equestria Daily that the music playing at the garden party in Sweet and Elite features a harp, two violins, and a cello, which pegs Octavia as a cellist.[4] The show's director, Jayson Thiessen, figures the instrument is a cello as it's "more sophisticated and appropriate for the gala."[5] Meghan McCarthy has indirectly referred to Octavia's role in Inspiration Manifestation as "cello playing."[6]
Re-use of character modelOctavia Melody's character design is reused with a different color scheme for a character, Fiddly Faddle, who appears in Luna Eclipsed and Apple Family Reunion, the first time playing at Ponyville's Nightmare Night festival and the second time playing in Raise This Barn at the Apple family's reunion.
Her coat is yellow, her mane and tail are dark blue, and her eyes are light blue. She has the same treble clef cutie mark as Octavia has, except that hers is light blue instead of purple. (It is also more appropriate for her instrument, as the fiddle, unlike the cello, is invariably notated with a treble clef.) She plays the fiddle in a pose similar to the one used in The Best Night Ever, though her positioning is slightly altered, grasping the bow and neck of the instrument with the hooves instead of the pasterns, or "wrists." The rest of the band similarly uses the designs and poses from The Best Night Ever, with different color schemes.
Unlike Octavia Melody, this pony wears clothes: a green shirt with a red rope for a belt, and a stetson hat. In the former episode, the band are dressed like scarecrows for the night, so her shirt has patches added to it, her mane and tail have pieces of straw scattered throughout them, and she has two lines of stitching on her face and neck. In the second episode, she wears a white stetson instead of a blue one.
Depiction in the series
Season oneShe plays a cello as part of a four-pony musical ensemble at the Grand Galloping Gala in the episode The Best Night Ever. She retains an apparently calm dignified expression when in costume, except when Pinkie Pie disturbs her. At Pinkie's request, the orchestra plays the Pony Pokey. Octavia Melody eventually falls over when Pinkie tries to make her play faster.
Season two
Octavia appears briefly in Sweet and Elite in the garden party scene, playing with a mostly-different musical ensemble.
Season four
She reappears in Inspiration Manifestation, switched from S04E16 Unnamed Earth Stallion #2 by a cursed Rarity during a filly's birthday party. In the episode Equestria Games, Octavia is barely seen in the audience as Spike attempts to light the torch.
Season fiveIn Bloom & Gloom, in Sweetie Belle's dream, Octavia, seated at a table with DJ Pon-3 and Rarity, watch Sweetie about to sing on stage, but Sweetie suddenly discovers a broom as a cutie mark and her microphone is replaced with a broom. As a result, both Octavia and DJ-Pon-3 give Sweetie a score of "0", while Rarity gives her a score of "1".
Octavia has her first in-show speaking role in Slice of Life, in which she speaks with an upper-class British accent. In the episode, Octavia is revealed to be DJ Pon-3's housemate, and the two compose an "electric cello dubstep" musical piece for Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda's wedding. The credits name Octavia Melody as in (some) previous materials. She or Fiddly Faddle appears silhouetted playing the cello during The Magic Inside in The Mane Attraction. She and DJ Pon-3 appear during the final group shot in The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 2.
Season six
In On Your Marks, Octavia is seen at the recital seated next to Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops.
Depiction in films
My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow RocksThe human version of Octavia is seen in the cafeteria during the Dazzlings' song. During the Battle of the Bands, she is pitted against the Rainbooms, but is eliminated. She also has one speaking line in the film, after Sunset Shimmer disrupts Rainbow Dash's singing in front of the students.
My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games
Octavia's human counterpart is seen in the audience during a pep rally. In a majority of her scenes, Octavia is seen talking to Trixie.
Other depictions
IDW comics
Octavia appears in the comic book series.[7] Her human counterpart appears in the My Little Pony Annual 2013, as a student of Canterlot High and member of the jazz club.
Chapter books
Octavia is mentioned twice in Pinkie Pie and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party! In chapter 8, "Pinkie-less Party Planning," Applejack says "I heard that Octavia might know the bassist from Nine Inch Tails." In chapter 13, "Pinkie Takes Action!" Pinkie Pie mentions Octavia as being a musician.
In Princess Luna and the Festival of the Winter Moon, Apple Bloom mentions Octavia when she says that she and DJ Pon-3 loaned the Crusaders some moonglasses for the titular festival.
SoftwareAn image of Octavia holding her cello and its bow was added to the Hasbro website's Card Creator game around January 25, 2012, named "MLP_CharV_WhomeverThisIs.swf."[8] The file was included with the same name when the game was added to the Hubworld website around February 2, 2012.
Octavia, wearing her collar and bow tie, is one of the available playable characters in Gameloft's mobile game. The game's icon of her used fanart[9] depicting her as a filly[10] until June 13, 2013, though her in-game character model matches her usual appearance.[11]
My Little Pony mobile game description
Part of a four-pony musical ensemble, this talented cello player can be seen performing in Ponyville's most sophisticated celebrations.
MerchandiseA Octavia Melody miniature collectible[12] featuring her playing her cello was displayed at the 2013 New York Toy Fair.[13] It was later released as part of a 3-piece set alongside Lyrica Lilac and Lyra Heartstrings, called the "Groovin' Hooves Set".
Octavia, along with a host of other characters from the show, appears on the Comic Con 2011 promotional poster. She is wearing her collar and bow tie and holding her cello and its bow.
An Octavia Melody vinyl figure by Funko was released.[14]
Base collectable trading card #27 of 84 is DJ Pon-3 & Octavia, with the description "DJ Pon-3 and Octavia may both be at the top of their musical games, but their careers are very, very different! You can find Octavia at garden parties and galas performing prim and proper classical music on her cello. On the other hoof, DJ Pon-3 feels at home behind her turntable, laying down sick beats and wearing her trademark sunglasses. Are these two bitter rivals, or are they long time friends? Will they ever perform a duet? Only time will tell!"
Octavia also appears in Enterplay's collectible card game. Card α #103 U, A Touch of Refinement, attributes to her the quote "There are few social engagements not improved by the proper musical accompaniment."[15] Card α #205 UR gives her the description "Octavia has many acquaintances in the musical world, but never expected to meet one of her closest friends performing at a Canterlot night club." Canterlot Nights expansion set card #32 C of Doc Top attributes to him and her the respective quotes "Aww, do you have a boo-boo? Who's the bwave wittle filly? Is it you?" and "... Perhaps it is time I finally found a new primary care physician."[16] Canterlot Nights expansion set card #74 U gives her the description "Classical may not be every pony's favorite genre, but almost anypony can appreciate the dulcet tones of Octavia at her cello." Rock N Rave set card #4 F gives her the description "'Octavia Melody is, without a doubt, the finest cellist of our generation.' —excerpt from The Canterlot Sun, Arts page". The Crystal Games expansion set card #Pƒ6 lists the quote "This isn't a contest, Vinyl..."[17]
WeLoveFine.com carries T-shirts and other merchandise of Octavia, often wearing her collar and bow tie and holding her cello and its bow. One of the T-shirt designs, released prior to the trading card, refers to her as "Octavia."
An Equestria Girls doll of Octavia, displayed at the 2014 American International Toy Fair, was scheduled to be included in the Rainbow Rocks line.[18] She was later released accompanying a brushable toy of her pony counterpart.

Comments On Apr 08, 2013:Prior to owning these shorts I would wear cotton boxer shorts when riding the track or trail. I would also be a victim of monkey butt or saddle sore. I used these shorts for the first time 2 days in a row after not riding all winter and boy oh boy! I don't think I would ever ride again without them. No sweating, no chaffing, and no pain :) it took a little getting used to the pad when standing or walking, but when riding, its in the perfect position.
I'm a size 33" and I purchased the Large. They fit good and were comfortable. They seem to run a little on the large size. if you're a 31-32" waist I would possibly consider getting the medium.
