In a recent article featured in Entertainment Weekly, the author suggested that certain films were far more likely than others to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, largely based on they're being nominated for other awards. Many of the leading contenders are beginning to be released on DVD and available at the library. Here are some of the acclaimed films released in 2010 that have begun to trickle into the library that may well end up taking the award.

Winston-Salem, NC -- The State Bureau of Investigation is looking into a suspicious package found in a Winston-Salem mailbox Monday morning.
Police, fire and HAZMAT officials responded to the home on N. Patterson Ave. around 10:30 a.m. The homeowner said she found a clear liquid sealed in a 1-liter plastic soda bottle and wrapped in a plastic bag.
The package came from a post office in Los Angeles, according to police.
Investigators could not figure out what was in the bottle, so they took it to the police department's firing range to run field tests on the substance.
Police later sent the bottle to the SBI for further testing.
The investigation is ongoing.

Gainesville, FL (Sports Network) - Six times Missouri crossed midfield in the second half only to be turned away by a staunch Florida defense.
The Gators, meanwhile, found the end zone twice after halftime on a pair of big plays and came away with a 14-7 victory over the Tigers in the Swamp.
Omarius Hines scored the tying touchdown on a 36-yard run in the third quarter and Mike Gillislee took a pass 45 yards to the end zone for the go-ahead score in the fourth, as the eighth-ranked Gators (8-1, 7-1 SEC) wrapped up their conference schedule with a bounce-back win after last week's loss to Georgia.
Florida, which closes its season with home games against Louisiana and Jacksonville State before traveling to Tallahassee for the annual grudge match against Florida State, can still win the SEC East and play in the conference championship game if Georgia suffers another league loss.
Missouri (4-5, 1-5) was coming off its first-ever SEC win last week against Kentucky and lost for the third time in four games. James Franklin threw for 236 yards and was intercepted four times in defeat, while Kendial Lawrence scored the only Tiger touchdown in the second quarter.

Visiting Arsenal FC community development coach Alikhan Popat who arrived in the country last week gets down to business as he conducts football training at the Saba Saba Primary School in Mwanza Region today.
The Tanzania Street Children Sports academy (TSC) who are the organizers of the visit, said another coach John Olalaye has failed to travel due to family commitments.
Popat will have to endure a three months coaching project while hoping for his colleague to recover and join him later.
TSC director Mutani Yangwe said the coach would start to train 126 players from under 12, 14 and 17 at the TSC centre this morning.
According Yangwe, the coach will also conduct trainings at four primary schools in the region for under 14 boys and girls teams. The primary schools which stand to benefit from the project are Saba Saba, Mwenge, Nyanza and Igoma.
He said the Arsenal coach will be joined by his counterparts at the TSC centre Jock Dominic and Rogasian Kaijage.
Yangwe also said the coach will conduct three days coaching course for coaches at CCM Kirumba Stadium.
Participants of the course are sports teachers from primary and secondary schools in the region, coaches from street football teams and all people involved in youth sports development in the Mwanza.
He said the Kirumba coaching course is very important to sports development in the country.
The training will be centred on basic principals of football, nurturing talents and also how players will be handled after they graduate from their respective youth teams.
"The course is timely and will further football development from grassroots, participating coaches will be able to teach football to young players", he said.

Since Koharu is retired, she no longer has a rank. Now there is no doubt that the highest rank she attained should be noted in the article, however I have checked both the manga and the databooks and found no mention of her former rank. Therefore, I have removed the old mention of her having been a jounin. If any one has any proof of her previous rank, please come forward with it. --ShounenSuki 20:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
The fact that she belongs to Team Tobirama, together with Homura and Hiruzen (Third Hokage), she definitely was formerly Jonin-rank shinobi. It would be very impossible to be elevated to the "Elder" status if she has not been a veteran in the shinobi wars. She definitely had gained a lot of experience from that, does it proves further that she was a Jonin-rank. —This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) on 14:01, 27 January 2009 (UTC).
- Unless she was a tokubetsu jōnin. Or an ANBU. Hey, Jiraiya called her teacher (先生, sensei); maybe she went the same route as Iruka and started teaching at the Academy as an eternal chūnin. All ranks fought in the Shinobi World Wars. Besides, saying it would have been nearly impossible for her to become a councillor without having been a jōnin is pure speculation.
- In other words, there is no way to know what rank she held before retiring and becoming a councillor. It's all speculation, unless it is actually said in the series. --ShounenSuki 14:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
I was just thinking since Koharu and Homura have both been working with Danzo and opposing Tsunade,they should be considered villians. What do you guys think?126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:44, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
- They're not villains; they haven't done anything particularly evil. The worst thing they did was agree with the Uchiha massacre, but the Third Hokage also agreed eventually. Danzō isn't a true villain either. He and the councillors have the same goals as the Naruto and Tsunade: world peace and prosperity for Konoha. They only have different ideas on how to achieve those goals and although one could consider Danzō's means as unethical, he doesn't necessarily oppose Naruto and the councillors are far less radical than Danzō is. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 00:53, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
Blame Tsunade?
How do we know she agreed that Tsunade was partly to blame for Konoha's destruction? All she did was show a pained face when Danzou said it. I honestly think that, even after all the problems they had in the past, Koharu recognizes Tsunade's sacrifice, hence the pained face. Jules R. J. Blake (talk) 02:00, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Allow me to be the first, Ramah, of many, I'm sure. Congradulations and absolutley deserved. It's a beautiful piece.
Map (Click to enlarge)
Created in: Photoshop
An exquisite map by one of our newest members. It might not look like much to those unfamiliar with making maps but the details are what makes this (along with the color scheme). Look at those mountains and forests! The different shades of green used to denote the countries is subtle but easy to comprehend. Those of us who are utterly familiar with such things can appreciate the passion that goes into making a great piece of art and fretting over these details. Fonts are often selected for their uniqueness and usually are unreadable; but not here. I don't get to use this word often enough but it is completely appropriate here...sublime.
Ramah says:Vaniya is the land in which the novel I am writing is based. It is a fantasy world in which, although magic exists, it has long since been broken, changed into many different forms that the original users could not comprehend. For decades now the land has been under a terrible blight and the human race is dying out, slowly but surely. The only non-human race in the land are the Mandrai which live in The Ruhks, the great forest to the north. The humans and Mandrai have been at war for many long years.
The map, although ostensibly for my own benefit as a writing aid, has been decorated a little as if it is a communication between Arcanists, the practitioners of Circle Magic situated on the isle of Maloglash. The idea is that it is used as they attempt to chart the increase in The Blight. To this effect, I have added bits of flavour text to the map (I have increased the visibility on most of these since I last posted, but some are still purposely faint), some of which are directly related to my story.
I, for one, hope we get to see more maps from Ramah and hope that the writing is as good as the map.

Growing up Bowdoinham is a film by Jeff Fischer about childhood in Bowdoinham, Maine, as told in interviews of 16 people, ages 9 to 97.
What chores did you do? Where did your family get its food? What did you do in the summer? What was special about winter? Did you ever get in trouble? These are some of the questions people were asked by Fischer and the eight Mt. Ararat Middle School students from Bowdoinham who helped him form the ideas for the film and conduct the interviews.
The film does not follow Bowdoinham history chronologically. Rather, it brings the words of the interviews and the images of life in Bowdoinham together through common experiences. For example, several people recalled summers spend picking peas at the Prout Farm- "Hard labor for an eleven year old," as Rachel Wildes put it. Others described the fun of poling on and hopping across ice chunks when the ice went out. "It wasn't until years later that my mother figured out what we'd done, " said Frank Connors.
One of the common themes that comes out is that, in the past, Bowdoinham kids spent a lot of their time outdoors, without supervision, exploring the woods and streams. As Erla Browne Kelley who, at 97, was the oldest person interviewed put it, "I don't know how our mother let us go out and do the things we did."

In July, Dr. Mark Schmidt, director for the CIAS, and Michele Mumm, MBA Program Director, had the opportunity to tour the Medtronic computer forensics lab along with Medtronic employee and MBA student, Toni Walton. The Medtronic forensic investigators explained the techniques they use for digital investigations of computers, cell phones and other electronic equipment. They explained the importance of working together with other forensic investigators from other companies and with law enforcement to share emerging technology, trends and best practices. Skilled computer forensic investigators are a growing need in both the public and private sectors. The number of mobile devices in use continues to grow and this keeps computer forensics teams very busy and provides for a fast paced, continuously changing work environment.

Master Puppet
this wiki
|editMaster Puppet
|Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
The Master Puppet was the ultimate puppet of the Shirogane clan that appeared in Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2.
The Master Puppet was a sentient puppet created by the Shirogane clan using forbidden techniques. It was about to be revived with the five orbs during their rebellion, but the clan was squashed before they could do so. It was sealed, due to the destruction of the Shirogane clan, with three survivors, Ibushi, Menō, and Gandō, who were trying to find and use the five orbs to revive the Master Puppet.
According to Kankurō, the Master Puppet was powerful enough to destroy all five nations. The Master Puppet was capable of controlling living beings by possessing their body, and used this method to control Naruto. The master puppet also used this ability to control Ibushi, even after his death, stating that Ibushi had only enough time for this final use.
In the initial battle, it displayed the ability to utilise the power of the spirit orbs to attack in a variety of manners including lightning strikes from above its opponent using its blue hand, energy orbs which home in on its enemy and explode on contact from its yellow hand, trails of explosions along the ground when slamming down its red hand and a large orange sword wielded in its green hand.
After releasing the spirit orbs from its body, the Master Puppet continues to use their powers, as well as launching spiked mines from its brown face. After losing four of the spirit orbs and swapping to its white face, its power becomes more pronounced as it begins to use larger, more destructive attacks including spinning to create a blast of wind to throw off attacks, creating pillars of earth around it, swapping to one of its two bird-like heads and spewing dark purple energy whilst creating a vacuum with the spirit orb at its core to draw in targets as well as launching flash bombs.
At some point, it will use the pink spirit orb to create a repulsive force, keeping Naruto and the others from attacking while regenerating its entire health bar, although not restoring the broken spirit orbs. It is at this point it uses its most devastating attack. A jutsu formula appears on the floor and a barrier radiates from the Master Puppet. If it makes contact with a character, they will be frozen in place while it launches the spikes from its ring at them, impaling them from all directions before launching its sword as the finishing blow. This is a guaranteed fatality to a character.
Plot Overview
The Master Puppet was alluded as its revival being the Shirogane clan's primary goal. However, right before encountering it, the Puppet revealed itself to be a sentient being, using its abilities to control the clan, and manipulate them into reviving it fully. It was eventually destroyed at the hands of Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji.

@Work: Guy Bruno
Co-owner for six years of The Florida Martial Arts and Fitness Center
Published: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 2:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 2:22 p.m.
How he got into martial arts: "My grandfather, Tony Bruno, was a professional boxer in Boston. He would take me and my dad, the kids and grandkids out in the front yard and put on our boxing gloves and fight. I was about 6 or 7. I was always into fitness, and in my 20s I started Krav Maga (the self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, according to kravmaga.com) with a friend because it was something fun to do, it was the martial arts era with Bruce Lee. Now it's evolved into fitness, self-protection, teaching people safety and giving them a fair chance because there are a lot of bad people out there."
The Florida Martial Arts and Fitness Center
Website: www.flmacenter.com
Phone: 861-5425
Why he teaches Krav Maga: "Most martial arts schools are traditional taekwondo, you'll learn just one style and stay with it. We teach the basics, but then throw things in from Krav Maga. It was developed in the late '30s in Israel as an easy-to-learn system of self-defense. You could teach a 100-pound girl and in six weeks she can take care of herself. It is for the streets, there are no rules and it's not a sport. I've been teaching taekwondo for over 30 years, but if I'm on the street and somebody attacks me, I'm not going to bow and be polite. It's for those 15 and up, and we make it as real-world as we can in the class."
Other things they offer: "Superkicks taekwondo is traditional sparring-based taekwondo that teaches physical fitness, strength, flexibility and helps kids focus in school. Kickbox USA is taught by master black belts. We teach proper techniques on how to hit the bag and turn your body. It's more martial arts based with a fun workout. We've got something here for everyone. For those that are older or have had knee surgeries, we have hydraulic cylin- der machines and they can have a great workout."
Why self-defense knowledge is needed: "People are fearful and are looking for something (for protection) and have gotten concealed weapons permits, but those people still come in. They worry about, 'What if I don't have my gun, or I can't get to it in my purse in time.' (Here) there is no weapon involved because your body and brain are the weapons. It's always with us and you don't have to worry about some perpetrator taking it away and then using it against you."
Best part about the job: "You can teach anybody how to throw a baseball, but this is something that can save someone's life. It's rewarding knowing you are helping people get in shape and helping them become more alert and giving them a way to stay safe. We definitely have an obesity problem in the U.S. We had a lady who was 250 or 300 pounds and she started training with us. It took a year, but she lost 100 pounds. The before and after pictures look like two different people. If people are willing to work, we can help them. But if you come in once a month there is not much we can do."
What it's like co-owning with his wife: "It's awe- some because we both have the same goals. We leave for work together and we go home together. In a traditional marriage, you part during the day and come home when you are exhausted and have to ask about the other's day. I get to hang out with my wife all day. How cool is that?"
What people don't know: "Some people think that taekwondo is too aggressive, but it's building character in a child along with teaching self-defense and having confidence in themselves and among their peers. Some kids, when they first come here, will sit on the floor and just look down and won't move. But then they come out of their shell and we get them to the point where they can lead
the class up front and be proud of themselves. It's not just about fighting, it's confidence and character developing."

Rose Noel of Onslow County was the first female gunnery sergeant in the marine corps to earn a purple heart after her 2005 deployment to Iraq. Seven months in, she was hit with shrapnel from an indirect rocket fired overhead. Doctors say Noel's injury was millimeters from a critical artery in the cheek. If hit, she could have easily bled out. Years later, after making military history, Noel says she's excited to see female marines continue to build on the ground she's already broken.
"Some people are still on that cusp of should women be in combat. Well I got a purple heart, so I guess we are. We may not be on the front lines, but there are no true, defined front lines anymore," said Noel.
Noel retired from the marine corps in January 2009.

Franklin Clinton
this wiki
- "Look homie, I don't mind dying, you feel me? But I just wanna die with something that matters."
- ― Franklin Clinton
Franklin Clinton is one of the three main protagonists in Grand Theft Auto V, along with Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips.
Franklin was born in South Los Santos in the year 1988. His parents consists of a father he's never met before and a mother who at some point in his young life became addicted to crack cocaine. As a child, Franklin often heard stories about how his father would physically abuse his mother on occasion, possibly causing her addiction to crack, and eventually leaving her once she was pregnant with Franklin, easily classifying him as a deadbeat father. His mother's addiction eventually led to her death. Franklin then began to live with his grandmother and grandfather. His grandmother would constantly spoil him as a child until her death. Franklin later moved into a house on Forum Drive alongside his aunt Denise that was given to them by his late grandmother. Franklin attended Davis High School along with Lamar Davis, Tanisha Jackson and Tonya Wiggins but was expelled due to him being involved in a brawl with his teacher. Around this time he began the life of a gang banger and dope dealer and started committing various crimes such as carjackings and bank robberies, one of which netted him and Lamar two thousand dollars, which was ruined by a dye pack going off on the notes. Franklin's life of petty crime was short lived however and he was eventually arrested in 2008. After he was released from prison he decided to give up his old life in the ghetto.
A few months before the start of his story, Franklin moved beyond the role of ghetto-based street dealer when he began working for Armenian gangster Simeon Yetarian. Yetarian owns a car dealership which acts as a front for a loansharking and extortion business. Yetarian's dealership sells cars to people who can't afford them and when they default on the payments Franklin acts in the role of repossession man and repossesses the cars. As a result of this, he is frequently seen driving around Los Santos in many seized sports cars, prior to the mission Complications where he and Lamar are both fired.
Events of GTA V
Franklin is first seen on a repossession job with his close friend and co-worker Lamar Davis, soon after a chance encounter with Michael De Santa. Soon after, Franklin and Lamar are assigned by Simeon Yetarian, their boss, to repossess a Bagger in a Vagos-controlled area of Vespucci. While searching for the bike, the two are confronted by Vagos and are forced to fight their way out of the neighborhood. The two are able to find the bike, but the owner is killed in the process; knowing the repossession is meaningless, Lamar takes the bike for himself. Simeon blames Franklin for the bike's theft. While recovering the BeeJay XL sold to Jimmy De Santa, his father Michael reveals he had been hiding in the back seat and points a handgun to Franklin's head. Under orders from Michael, Franklin smashes the car through the window of Simeon's dealership, receiving a payment from Michael himself for doing what he called "a job well done." This however effectively ends his employment.
Franklin is brought along by Lamar to kidnap a Ballas member named D, for no other reason than that Lamar saw "opportunity". With the help of Lamar's dog Chop, the two succeed in abducting D; however, they are forced to free him when Lamar inadvertently reveals their location.
After losing his job at the dealership, Franklin started working with Michael. Franklin helps Michael rescue Jimmy from his yacht, which was stolen with Jimmy on it during an attempted sale. Later, after Michael catches Amanda post-coitus with her tennis coach, Michael and Franklin chase him to the deck of a Vinewood Hills house. Believing the house to belong to the tennis coach, Michael and Franklin use a pickup truck to pull the deck down, destroying the house. After returning to the De Santa residence, Martin Madrazo appears to reveal the house was his, and demands $2.5 million in damages from Michael.
After sometime has pass, Michael contacts Franklin to enlist him on the Vangelico Jewelry Store Heist, which Franklin accepts as he sees this as his first major opportunity to become a much more successful criminal.
Franklin and Michael are called up once again by Haines for one more job: to break into the FIB building and remove incriminating evidence against Haines. This goes according to plan, but when Michael meets Haines and Norton at the Kortz Center, Haines attempts to arrest him to cover his involvement in the raid. However, this tuns into a three-way gunfight between the FIB (to arrest the trio because of the raid), the IAA (for the FIB's constant sabotages) and Merryweather (for Michael's involvement in their troubles). Michael manages to escape with the help of Trevor, under the pretense of cooperating with the Big Score.
After the heist, Franklin is tasked by Steve Haines to kill Trevor and by Devin Weston to kill Michael. Franklin must choose to kill Michael, Trevor or everyone that had double-crossed them.
Option A (Kill Trevor)
Franklin meets Trevor at the oil field where Trevor laments how Michael had been backstabbing towards him and how he and Franklin are friends, only to see Franklin turn a gun towards him saying that he was the crazy one, not Michael or Franklin. Baffled, Trevor remarks on how he has done nothing but be truthful to Franklin, which the latter accepts but does not let down the gun. Betrayed again, Trevor then makes a run for it around the city and eventually the oil fields, with Franklin chasing him. Franklin would then call Michael for help, in which Michael arrives and crashes into Trevor causing him to crash into a gas tanker, covering him in gasoline. Frankin shoots the gas as to incinerate Trevor before the tanker explodes. Michael and Franklin reflect on how crazy Trevor was and it was this constant craziness which led to his demise. Shortly after, they split up before Franklin sarcastically remarks the event as an "illuminating experience", which Michael counters by telling him to survive, and everything else is "bullshit".
Option B (Kill Michael)
Michael meets Franklin in the desert and reflects on their partnership. However, in Franklin's reply, he notices Franklin's intention to kill him and escapes, eventually ending up at the Palmer-Taylor Power Station. They continue to chase up on one of the chimney walkways and after a minor scuffle, Franklin pushes Michael off the edge and then grabs him while he hangs precariously from the rail, where Franklin can save him or drop, but either, Michael falls to his death.
Option C (Deathwish)
Franklin helps Michael and Trevor fight off Merryweather and the FIB, then kills Wei Cheng to not implicate Trevor from its effects. Afterwards, he meets Michael and Trevor, who had kidnapped Devin in his car, at the foothills of Mount Chiliad. After taunting Devin on their apparent victory, the trio push his car of the cliff into the ocean.

Franklin is described as ambitious but perhaps to a fault and very eager to take on new illegal challenges by Dan Houser's description. He is also described as a logical way of showing a young man with a lot of hope, with Dan Houser claiming that this would be a nice contrast from Michael. He also is a person that, even though is being mentored by Michael in crime, mentors Michael in life. This helps build up the Father-Son relationship between the two. Franklin is also much more calmer than both Michael, who has a very short temper, and Trevor, who is practically violent and psychotic. Though Lamar drives him crazy at times, Franklin still cares for his best friend as he saves him from the Ballas with the help of Michael and Trevor during the events of Lamar Down. He is also the same toward Michael and Trevor as he is seen helping them out with most of their problems, like when Amanda cheats on Michael and he and the latter chase after the tennis coach during Marriage Counseling and when he helps Trevor and Michael hunt down the remaining O'Neil brothers during Predator. This however, also leads to other people around him to consider him disloyal, most notably his Aunt Denise, enough for Denise to threaten him by calling the police for setting foot in her yard. Despite what Denise says, Franklin does demonstrate loyalty for people that are close to him and for people who change his life, like Lamar, who is Franklin's best friend, and Michael, who helped him become a "three-bit" gangster, or a high-profile criminal so to speak. Despite not knowing them very well, Franklin also gets along with Michael's family, evident when Jimmy befriends him and when Amanda responds kindly whenever Franklin greets her while she is home. He doesn't seem to get along with Stretch very well, but this is mostly due to Stretch trying to pull Franklin into the life that put him in jail in the first place, and also due to Stretch's reckless and unintelligent personality.
Grand Theft Auto series
Relationships With Other Characters
- Michael - After meeting Michael and completing a job with him, both men grew a father-son relationship for one another. This was mostly because Franklin never really had a family of his own and saw Michael as a person with more professional skill and as a real criminal that could mentor him in the life of crime. It seems that Michael has a better relationship with Franklin than with his own son. Michael is fairly protective of Franklin. During the drive in the Paleto Score, when Trevor keeps asking Franklin about his first score, Michael tells Trevor to leave Franklin alone. Later in the same mission, Michael continuously checks in on Franklin, calls him "son," and helps him onto the train before boarding it himself. In the Kill Michael Ending, he chases Michael and, even if the player wants to save him, Michael falls to his death. Franklin eventually regrets killing him. He leaves a message on Lamar's voice-mail, stating about one running and their legs give and can't run anymore, which is what Michael said to Franklin in Fresh Meat.
- Trevor - Trevor and Franklin's first meeting was nowhere near perfect, as he was cautious of the new recruit and even insulted him and Michael for their father-son like relationship. He was eventually able to put his trust into Michael's judgement of Franklin and the two were finally able to get along. In the optional ending that involves killing Trevor, he protests that he's been nothing but straight and true with him. Franklin seems to regret killing him but accept that he was crazy and would have killed him and Michael. In the ending where Franklin kills Michael, he would cut off ties with him and claim that he's dead to him. When hanging out with Franklin, Trevor states that he's proud of him.
- Lamar - As stated above, Franklin's relationship with Lamar is a bit unsettled, as Lamar is seen as a funny yet dangerous maniac, and is also known to be one of the main people holding Franklin back to the criminal life. Despite this, Franklin still considers him his best friend and on multiple occasions throughout the story, he risks his life to save him and help him out. By the end of the game, they seem to get along more calmly than before, especially within the Deathwish ending, where Lamar is pleasantly surprised to hear Franklin's need to help Michael and Trevor survive.
- Simeon Yetarian - Simeon is an Armenian luxury car salesman, who uses the business as a front for his repo activity. He employs Franklin as his repo-man. Simeon's relationship with Franklin was shown in to be in a poor condition, as he doesn't seem to fulfill many of Franklin's request. Eventually Franklin cut his ties with Simeon after he crashed into his dealership.
Franklin has been described as fit and fashion conscious. He is mostly seen wearing a blue and white button-up shirt, dark blue jeans or black pants with white stripes and a pair of brown or dark yellow boots. In the "Michael, Trevor and Franklin" artwork, he is seen wearing a light yellow plaid button-up shirt and stonewashed blue jeans. He also sported the same outfit in "The Trunk" artwork. He is seen in the "Franklin and Chop" artwork wearing a tank-top, khaki shorts along with a bracelet on his right wrist and a black watch on his right wrist. In "Three's Company," he's seen wearing his L.S. sweater, black jeans and Desert Boots.
Skills and Attributes
Franklin is a young man and is capable of tackling challenging tasks that Michael and Trevor can't do and has a level of physical prowess that both Michael and Trevor lack. As being a repossession man he is a skilled person behind the wheel of any car. As during the GI demo, he was described as being able to make short work of the agents that were interrogating the target.
Franklin has a special ability where he can slow down time while driving.
Special Skill: Improved Driving Handling
While the Special ability is active Franklin has the ability to slow down time while driving any four wheeled vehicle or motorcycle. This allows for better handling in dangerous circumstances hopefully avoiding accidents. Enhancing this skill increases the maximum storage capacity directly affecting the ability's duration. Franklin starts with one third of the max capacity, 30 seconds of duration.
Increasing Special Skill
Just driving around with Franklin can increase his special skill although minutely. The more extreme the circumstance the better chance of increased skill. The following events give an increase to Franklin's special skill in varying amounts.
- Drifting around corners adds a continuous bonus.
- Near vehicle misses at high speed.
- Driving on the wrong side of the street in traffic adds a continuous bonus.
- Driving at high speed, 90% max speed or better continuously.
Mission appearances
For the list of Franklin Clinton's mission appearances, see Franklin Clinton/Appearances.
Just like Michael and Trevor, Franklin has gotten a very positive response from critics and fans of the series.
Dan Houser's Description of Franklin
"Franklin was the idea of this street hustler in the modern world where the glory days – if there ever were glory days of gang banging – had long since passed. When some of the illusions of this life have been shattered, what do you do now having been in that world? That seemed like an interesting character; a guy in his mid-to-late 20s who wants to move forward but doesn't really know how and is being held back by some of his more idiotic and dangerous friends."
"The idea with Franklin was someone stepping outside their comfort zone and their normal way of doing things, because that way, even though they're still in their mid-20s or whatever, that hasn't worked. That world that they thought they'd be in and be able to make a success of has, thanks to the modern world or the changes in the economy or whatever it is, just failed. It doesn't really exist. They're now looking for something new. A new opportunity. They've gotten their qualifications and gotten all their experience and all they're good at is driving and robbing. How do actually go forward and who do you get to a kind of mentor you? That was a good contrast. The gang-banger in the post-gang-banging world."
Character Trailer
- Franklin and Clinton are the last names of two important people in the U.S. Government (Benjamin Franklin and Bill Clinton). If you put together the first names of the two, it makes up 'Benjamin Bill', a nickname for the $100 bill note. He also has the first name as former US presidents Franklin Pierce and Franklin Roosevelt who both served as the 14th and 32nd presidents respectively.
- Franklin is the second protagonist to kill another protagonist on-screen (the latter can kill Michael, or Trevor depending on which one of the three endings that the players will choose). The first protagonist being able to do so was Trevor when he kills Johnny Klebitz in his introduction mission.
- Despite his date of birth never actually mentioned in-game, Franklin's license plate is "FC1988" which is most likely his initials, FC, and his date of birth, 1988.
- Franklin is the only protagonist in Grand Theft Auto V to not have a chance to die in any of the three endings.
- However in the beta, The Third Way was originally going to kill Franklin, and replace him with Lamar. This is revealed in the coding.
- In one of the monologues he has with himself while high on marijuana, Franklin reveals that his mother was a drug addict and died from a possible overdose, and that he's just like her by using illegal substances, possibly showing that he's insecure and uncomfortable with his drug use.
- Franklin is the only one of the three protagonists who cannot play tennis.
- He is the only protagonist not required to kill any past GTA IV characters as part of the story, however he does have the option to kill Packie McReary during a Random Event.
- In Eye in the Sky, it is revealed that Franklin was once arrested for Public Exposure. According to him, it was due to him sagging in public and it was the LSPD committing racial profiling.
- Franklin's favorite radio station is Radio Los Santos.
- Franklin is the only one of the three main characters to be born in Los Santos. Michael was born in the Mid-West (presumably in North Yankton), and Trevor was born in Canada, near the US border.
- His second favorite radio station is West Coast Classics.
- Franklin is probably the protagonist with most compassion for animals; when the player runs over a wild animal as Franklin, he says comments such as "Sorry, little dude!" or "Watch out, little dude!", unlike Michael, who simply gets angry, and Trevor, who makes comments with more dark humor. The fact that he is the only protagonist with a pet (Chop) also contributes to this theory.
- It is possible that Franklin is religious, or at the very least has studied the bible at some point in his life. He immediately recognized the verse that Michael sarcastically used, after pulling down the house in Marriage Counseling, as coming from the book of Matthew.
- All of the characters' special abilities (Michael's marksman abilities, Trevor's invincible rage ability, and Franklin's handling of cars) are specified within the game. However, Franklin's special ability is the only one to be referenced outright; This is done by Lamar during the mission Chop, in which he tells Franklin to use that "special driver thing that he does" to capture D, and claims he looks funny while doing so, "Like watching Chop try to read while you do that shit".
- Franklin's special ability may be a reference to the Zone special ability from Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition (another Rockstar Games title), which allows the player to slow down time for better handling while driving.
- Franklin's signature color is green, most likely due to his connection with the Chamberlain Gangster Families. This is seen when using his special ability by screen fading green, while Michael's ability fades blue and Trevor's fades orange.
- In Franklin's employee of the month photo he's wearing a red button-up shirt, but when you go to his wardrobe this specific shirt is nowhere to be found.
- While hanging out with Franklin as a different protagonist, if you die, he'll text you in concern. Usually, he'll text, "u okay dude?" or "hope u okay."
- Franklin is in many ways similar to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas protagonist Carl Johnson. Both men are African-American gangbangers in their mid-20's, both are or have been part of a section of The Families street gang, both have an ambitious personality and at one point have been criticised for showing little support for their gang, both have been betrayed by a fellow member (Carl by Big Smoke and Ryder, and Franklin by Stretch). Furthermore, one of Franklin's outfits is similar to that of CJ's default outfit.
- Franklin had the most opportunities than any other protagonist to make money. For instance: the Lester missions, if the stocks method is used right, Franklin can make a lot of money. Also, the analyst for Algonquin you take to the airport gives you advice to invest in Tinkle.
- Franklin is the only playable character not to appear in the game's opening credits.
- If the player throws Molotov's at Franklin's house as Michael or Trevor, he might text the player saying: "U trying to burn my house down?".
- Franklin is the only protagonist in the GTA series who isn't betrayed by the main antagonist at one point.
- Franklin's special ability also affects the Rhino, allowing Franklin to utilize the tank cannon with extreme accuracy and finesse while on the move, making Franklin, arguably, the most suitable to go on tank rampages.
- Franklins appearance as the "token black" character (being the only African American character of the three protagonists) might be a reference to Franklin from the Peanut's comic strip by Charles Schulz. In the comic scrip, Franklin was the only African American character of all the main characters.
- At Franklin's Vinewood Hills mansion, Redwood Cigarettes packs can be found scattered on tables, along with multiple ashtrays. He can be seen smoking in the mission Hotel Assassination while waiting for Lester.
- In most of Franklin's artworks, he is seen with a tattoo of praying hands on his neck. This tattoo can not be purchased in-game.
- Despite his business-like personality, while using drugs it is possible to view that Franklin may suffer from depression. When talking to himself, he may refer to himself as a failure and a drug addict like his mother, and also says "I'm so happy. Happy as can be when you're all alone and everybody you know hates you.", amongst other things that indicate some form of self-hatred.
- There is a quite simple glitch in Franklin's wardrobe. If one puts on a mask such as Bandana, or the Hockey mask, and goes to the "Outfits" section, and chooses an outfit with sunglasses, Franklin will wear his sunglasses through his mask or Bandana. This is also the only time so far in any Grand Theft Auto game in which the protagonist can wear sunglasses with a Bandana on at the same time.

An Elk Creek firefighter is recovering from injuries suffered while fighting a house fire near the town of Pine.
The firefighter suffered smoke inhalation on Sunday and is expected to recover.
Two people renting the home were all able to escape, along with their dog.
Authorities tell our sister station in Denver that it appears that the fire originated in the chimney and spread into the attic. Flames were 30 feet high at one point.

In 1949, Parisian painter Henri Goetz approached Henri Sennelier, the famous artist materials manufacturer, about creating a wax color stick for his friend Pablo Picasso. Picasso, a
Their collaboration produced the incomparable Sennelier oil pastels. Originally available in a palette of classic hues, the color selection was expanded with the additional of metallic and iridescent hues.
Beyond these classic hues, a selection of unique shades is available and, in particular, a gradation of grays, required for a balanced palette. This evolution is the fruit of a
The Sennelier Oil Pastel is a product that makes use of the components used in all Sennelier
Sennelier Oil Pastels possess an extraordinarily high pigment content, thus providing them with a high coloring and covering potential, excellent brightness, and a high degree of light stability (with the exception of metallic and fluorescent shades).
The remarkable properties of these components, along with their precise dosage, provide Sennelier Oil Pastels with unique properties, making the brand a
Individual sticks are paper wrapped, and measure
Note — To protect an oil pastel surface from dirt and dust, apply a fixative 8 to 10 days after the work is completed. The fixative will not dry the work. If desired, a final varnish spray can be applied to seal the surface permanently, but this may adversely affect future restoration possibilities.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.
Minimum Order — Please order individual pastels (open stock) in a minimum of 6, so that we can efficiently package and ship your order. Your selection may be assorted to meet this requirement.
Oil pastels can be used alone to create a painting. Apply them thickly or thinly, blurred or clearly defined. They can be combined with oil painting mediums such as turpentine, paint thinner, or any of the painting oils to produce glazing, scumbling, or wash effects.
Oil paints should never be used over oil pastels, because oil pastels never dry out, and oil paints will not adhere to the underlying surface. Oil paints can be used over an oil pastel wash, provided that the underlying surface is primed. Interesting effects can be achieved by scraping, scratching, smearing, or scrubbing the pastel surface.
Oil pastels can be used as a resist with water-based mediums such as watercolor or acrylic. Waterbased paint will not mix with the pastel. Oil pastels can also be used with colored pencils and oil sticks. They can be used in conjunction with printmaking inks to create monotypes.
Oil pastels can be applied with a palette knife to achieve impasto effects. For ease in application, the pastel can be heated or melted to obtain a smoother, more creamy or fluid medium.
Recommendations for Supports — Sennelier Oil Pastels were created to free artists from technical restraints and the limitations of traditional supports such as canvas. They are extremely versatile and can be used on a wide variety of surfaces.
Use them on acid-free drawing paper, at least 100–110 lb. weight, or on watercolor paper, at least 140 lb. A surface that is lightly textured, but not rough, is customary for oil pastels.
Use them on museum board, illustration board, or any acid-free paperboard stock, or apply them to rigid supports such as wood, Masonite, glass, ceramics, or metal.
Soft supports such as canvas, made of cotton, linen, or polyester, can also be used, as well as other natural and synthetic fabrics.
Note — Although it is not absolutely required, Sennelier recommends applying a coat of gesso prior to painting on non-paper surfaces, to preserve the intensity and vibrancy of colors.

The NBA has a difficult call to make that could alter the NBA championship race.
Indiana Pacers guard George Hill and Atlanta Hawks forward Mike Scott got into a staring-then-shoving contest during the first half of the Pacers' 95-88 Game 6 victory in Atlanta.
Their actions drew technical fouls, but in the heat of their showdown, Pacers star Paul George and backup Rasual Butler — who were both not in the game — made small steps onto the court. They remained near the bench.
Therein lies the problem.
"During an altercation, all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench," the NBA rulebook says. "Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $50,000."
GAME 6: Pacers manage to extend life
INDYSTAR.COM: Pacers go small, tough
Will it be enforced for Game 7 (Saturday, 5:30 p.m. ET, TNT)? The loss of George would be a brutal blow to the Eastern Conference No. 1 seed Pacers.
"I'm not concerned about any suspensions until we hear something," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said after the game, adding that he didn't expect any.
But Hill and Scott also could face additional discipline.
"He put his finger in my face," Scott told news reporters (via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution). "He put his finger on me and I was defending myself."
The most famous implementation of the controversial rule was in 2007, when the Phoenix Suns' Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were suspended after moving toward an altercation between teammate Steve Nash and the San Antonio Spurs' Robert Horry in Game 4. San Antonio won Game 5 and closed out the series in Game 6.
"The rule with respect to leaving the bench area during an altercation is very clear," Stu Jackson, then the NBA's executive vice president of basketball operations, said of the ruling in 2007. "Historically, if you break it, you will get suspended, regardless of what the circumstances are
"This is a very unfortunate incident but the rule is the rule. It's not a matter of fairness. It's a matter of correctness, and this is the right decision."
The decision now will come down to Rod Thorn, the president of basketball operations and chief disciplinarian.

Almost Home Dachshund Rescue Society
P.O. Box 9671
Greensboro, NC 27429
Sullivan is a 4-5 month old standard black and tan dapple puppy who is 10 pounds of paws and ears! He was surrendered to a shelter in North Carolina by the family that bred him after they could not find him a suitable home. Understandably, Sullivan (Sully) was scared in the shelter and displayed some typical behaviors of a dachshund in a shelter so rescue was called to come and help the sweet boy and give him a chance at finding a home.
Sullivan got his name because of his big stature at such a young age - the young kids in his foster home recently saw Monsters University and decided he is kind of like the big blue monster named Sully. He gets scared at first and will growl, but once he knows he is safe, he wiggles and licks and plays - and all of this reminds his foster home of the character Sully in the movie! Sully is a sweet boy that needs a home with a strong alpha dog that will help him feel safe and secure. Once Sully feels safe, he is a free-spirited puppy that gives kisses and puppy romps. When Sully is scared, he will submissively urinate which is a problem that will go away as he becomes more secure in his new home. Chewing is not yet a big problem for Sully but we can see that he will soon be losing some baby teeth so we imagine sometime soon he will need to start chewing away to get those baby teeth wiggled out to make room for his adult pearly whites! Sully has been great with the other fur-sibilings and learning the ropes with the pack order in his new foster home. He is great with the human kids and loves to get attention for his people. Sully's adoptive home needs to be aware that when full grown, Sully will likely be over 20 pounds. He has gorgeous markings and will be a wonderful standard dachshund which you rarely find anymore! Sully is not housetrained and will need continued work on his manners, but with a lot of love and patience - he is going to be one sweetheart. Sully IS very much a puppy - so his new home will need to work on training him and spending lots of time teaching him the ropes.
Do you want to be the lucky one to get this sweet monster of a boy? Sully has been neutered and brought current on all vaccinations, and he is all set to graduate from Fosters University!

Byron's Bastiodon was Byron's main Pokemon.
At some point in the past, Byron revived a Bastiodon, or possibly a Shieldon, from a fossil and Bastiodon became his strongest Pokemon. When Roark challenged his father using his Rampardos, Byron used Bastiodon and the two Pokemon were evenly matched but Team Rocket interrupted before the battle could finish.
Bastiodon was the last Pokemon Byron used whilst battling Ash. It easily defeated Chimchar with Metal Burst and then battled Gliscor. Despite the fact that it was Gliscors first Gym battle the Fang Scorp Pokemon managed to hold its own against Bastiodon and finally defeated it with Fire Fang.

Zurich, Switzerland
The Dolder Grand is a city resort that beautifully merges past and future. Perched above Zurich, the fairy tale-like castle building first served as a "Curhaus" (a health spa), during the late-19th century. Today, it honors this history with a state-of-the-art, 4,000-square-meter spa, which is housed in one of the new wings designed by Lord Norman Foster. The spa comprises eighteen treatment rooms, separate areas for ladies and gentlemen, an aqua zone with views of the natural surroundings and a medical wellness center. The spa program focuses on spiritual health as well as pampering treatments. Rooms are scattered throughout the property, and all are timelessly decorated with stylish furnishings. The acclaimed "The Restaurant", headed by innovative chef Heiko Nieder, has two Michelin stars. Most striking is the hotel's art collection with more than 100 artworks including pieces by Andy Warhol, Henry Moore and Salvador Dalí.
Zurich's venerable hotel, Baur au Lac, boasts a history as breathtaking as its Alp and lakeside setting. Opened in 1844 by Johannes Baur, the property hosted the world-premiere of Wagner's Die Walküre, with Richard himself performing, and Alfred Nobel's former secretary, Bertha von Suttner, conceived of the Nobel Peace Prize in one of the hotel's salons. Today, a cast of royals, actors and musicians are drawn to the grande-dame hotel for its stunning views, private park on the lakeshore and location to Zurich's historic sites and the Bahnhofstrasse, a fabulous shopping street. Of the four dining rooms, the al fresco Terrasse restaurant is the city's summer hot spot, where locals and guests flock to mingle over light meals, cocktails, and spectacular views from canopy-covered tables.
Zurich's Widder Hotel, built on the site of Roman and Celtic ruins, comprises nine medieval houses decorated with 15th-century frescoes. Given its historic depth, it is not surprising that architect Tilla Theus's painstaking transformation took more than ten years. Every room is individually styled to mix the past, represented in the unusual circular rooms and passages, which refer to the Roman well uncovered during construction; and the modern, seen in furnishings created by such design greats as Charles and Ray Eames, and Frank Lloyd Wright. The Widder Bar offers over 300 single-malt whiskeys and is well-known in the jazz world, presenting stars like Diana Krall and Benny Green during the bi-annual concert series. The Widder Restaurant, overseen by Dietmar Sawyere, serves a creative international menu.

Leading you to an educated decision.
The main purpose of a gullet is to provide clearance for the material being removed. The design of the gullet must be done keeping in mind such factors as material being cut, type of cut (rip or crosscut and smooth or rough), speed of the cut, type of tooth design and pitch or hook angle of the teeth. For example, a Rip saw blade is designed to cut very quickly along the grain of the wood. It has fewer teeth and a large gullet to aid in the removal of sawdust. By contrast, a Crosscut blade will have a smoother, slower cut against the grain, therefore having more teeth and a smaller gullet design. The major issue to consider in design is to have no sharp or square corners as they will lend themselves as a natural stress or fault line in the saw blade. The gullet is a relief area cut in front of the tooth which provides a temporary place to store the material cut away by the tooth on each revolution of the blade.

Comments On Dec 20, 2012:This is the best rear tire for the C10 Concours if you want to do any spirited riding. They ride nice and stick great whether your touring or riding hard, wet or dry, hot or cold. I get about 7k miles out of one, so they're not the longest lasting, but it's worth the trade-off.

Comments On Aug 08, 2012:I put about 8,000 miles on this tire with slightly aggressive riding. In compairison to the stock Dunlop K700 I got 3,000 more miles out of it. It's slippery for the first 700-1000 miles especially on gravel. It did not last as long as Storm front tire.

Republican Walters wins seat from Senate 8th
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In a contentious race in the state Senate's redrawn 8th District, Republican Chris Walters was poised to defeat Democrat challenger Joshua Martin on Tuesday night.
With 83 of 87 precincts reporting in Kanawha and Putnam counties, Walters had 18,359 votes to Martin's 16,303 votes.
"My opponent and I ran a very competitive race," Walters said Tuesday night. "I now look forward to working on issues in the Legislature."
During the bitter campaign, Walters and Martin locked horns over Martin's past as a professional wrestler.
A decade ago, sexually explicit comments were posted on a pro wrestling website message board under Martin's former wrestling alias, "Silver Bullet Chris Sterling." The comments degraded teen girls, the mentally handicapped and women with breast cancer.
Martin said the offensive remarks were posted by writers for the wrestling show.
Martin also accused Walters of passing out copies of the explicit comments to Charleston media outlets and Martin's employer, a Charleston law firm. Martin alleged that Walters' campaign tried to blackmail him and force him to drop out of the race.
Walters said he knew about the wrestling message posts but said his campaign did not distribute copies of the offensive comments.
Martin and Walters later traded barbs over Walters' position on gay rights.
Walters told Gazette editors that he supported adding sexual orientation to West Virginia's hate-crimes law. Martin called Walters a liar, citing a West Virginia Family Foundation survey in which he said he opposed legislation that would make "the homosexual lifestyle" a civil-rights status in West Virginia.
Walters clarified that he would not support a hate-crimes law that singles out gays.
Later in the campaign, Walters and his father, Delegate Ron Walters, R-Kanawha, assailed Martin's negative campaign ad that used photos of Chris Walters when he was a teenager.
One of the photos -- taken from Walters' former MySpace Web page -- showed Walters pointing to a tattoo on a shirtless man's shoulder. The commercial's narrator alleged that Walters had "waffled" on the gay-rights issue.
Walters also criticized Martin for sending out a "robocall" last weekend that called Walters a liar for saying Martin supported raising West Virginia's gas tax. Martin said he never supported raising the fuel tax.
On Monday night, Walters said he would now work hard for residents of the 8th Senate District.
"I was very optimistic getting into the race, and I'm very humbled by the voters in the district," he said.
In another hard-fought Senate race, Republican Mitch Carmichael was leading Democrat Mike Bright in the 4th District late Tuesday night.
With 91 of 104 precincts reporting, Carmichael received 17,717 votes to Bright's 16,722 votes.
The 4th District covers Jackson County, and parts of Putnam, Mason and Roane counties.
Bright is Jackson County's sheriff and a retired State Police trooper. Carmichael is a six-term member of the House of Delegates and an executive with Frontier Communications.
Sen. Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha, ran unopposed for the 17th District Senate seat. Palumbo serves as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

- Abstract
- The new challenge system for close line calls in tennis has been used on the ATP and WTA tour for grand slam events since the 2007 Australian Open, and was designed to increase fairness for players by obtaining accurate line calls and enhance spectator interest by using video technology. Our task is to provide insight and strategies as to which points to challenge on to maximize a player's chances of winning. Methods based on the work of Barnett et al, Morris, and Pollard et al will be used to address this problem. This research could be used by players and coaches to possibly improve players' performance.
