Why did you go digital?
:Hi BTW I'm new here as well as to digi scrapbooking.
I went digital for a few reasons 1)it just makes sense when you have digital cameras 2)things are cheaper using digital resources 3)digi's in B/C it's green and green is hip your like saving trees and stuff(honestly I'm big on the whole green thing it's way I never did the whole hand scrapbooking thing)
I LOVE the smilies!
Welcome to our corner of the web, Lynn! I never really scrapped in the traditional style, but came to digiscrapping through graphic arts and publishing. I love it, and your reasons are all great!
My BFF went digital before I did, and she was the one who really talked me into it, and for some of the reasons you mentioned (greener, cheaper!) as well as...
- It takes up so much less physical space. Computer memory is another story, but even my EHD is pretty small. I still have 2 boxes of paper scrap supplies I am gradually using for other projects.
- I have a laptop, so I can scrap anywhere - Starbucks, a friend's house, etc.
- Scrap parties any time I want to just log in. The other day, my BFF and I were doing a speed scrap "together" and we live 1500 miles apart! It was great fun.
- I love some of the fun techniques that give you a whole different look that anything in paper scrapping. I love blending, erasing, changing colors, etc. Two simple things I like are being able to resize things to fit my page, whether it's changing the size of a frame, or the scale of the print on a paper.
Yep, I think I'm pretty much sold on it! Just recently, though, I've been connecting the digi scrap with the paper craftiness and doing some hybrid projects, mostly cards. That's fun, too!

I stumbled on digi-scrapping while i was searching for traditional paper scrapping supplies online, since i couldn't find what I wanted at my local scrapping shoppes.
I fell in love with all the great tutorials that helped me learn some cool photo editing techniques, and then the scrapping was just a natural progression.
My dd was an infant and I didn't have the space to bring out all of my paper crafting supplies.
And then, there was the ease of storing supplies, and best of all , the dh didn't have to know what I was getting and when I was shopping :)
Welcome to GDS!
I started digi scrapping about a year ago when I received a couple of tubs of old photographs. I didn't want to harm the photos, but I wanted to do something creative with them. As the profile on my blog says about digi, "The flexibility draws me ... the elimination of cleaning up glitter, tiny scraps of paper, and glue afterwards ... keeps me!"
I, too, love the flexibility of resizing, recoloring, etc ... AND, I find that I often scrap a photo more than once. Digi is less expensive in that you can use a paper or element over and over again ... plus, if you make a mistake, you can un-do!
I hope you find that you love it, too! Hope to see you posting projects in the gallery and participating in challenges ... the challenges are the best way to learn.
The endless possibilities and less mess. At least there is less mess when I'm scrapping. When I'm designing it's a whole different story. My desk looks like something explodedSnag me ---->
I wanted to learn how to use Photoshop! and I'm really not very creative and my paper scrapping took up tooo much time, effort, and space. Digi scrapping now takes up more time but I feel really more creative and enjoy it lots more. It really is less effort for me. Oh and btw, anything you do on the computer where you are using your brain to figure out what to do next, strengthens and builds dendrites....I think that is how you spell that....it's using both sides of your brain and all that stuff. My mom has alzheimers and it worries me so I try to keep my brain exercised.
welcome! my mom's a traditional scrapbooker & i'd been doing it with her for years! i hate every one of my pages though because i'm too much of a perfectionist. i made the switch a few years ago. i do a little hybrid here & there but mostly just digi. my favorite part of it??? the 'delete' key :)
I was a traditonal scrapper but converted to the digi side after DS was born. Less mess ... no worries of "did I leave something out" so DS could get hurt. I love that it is cheaper,I can reuse things and change th ings easily if I make a mistake.
I also like that I can make a layout and not have to worry about stickers/embellishments falling off years later. I just print and put in a book and the memories are there for a lifetime :)!

I've always been computer oriented and was curious about digiscrapping. There are all of the benefits and reasons as listed above. Reusing kits over and over, being able to change colors to fit the page, less mess and space needed...and the list goes on! I do still paper scrap--just because I'm very tactile, but most of the scrapping I do is digi.Crystal in PA

(WUSA 9) -- Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has declared a State of Emergency before Hurricane Sandy. The governor is urging all Maryland residents to prepare for extreme weather, including making emergency plans and stocking up on storm supplies.
According to the governor's office, "The declaration gives the state flexibility to activate the Maryland National Guard and provide assistance to local emergency managers."
Track: Hurricane Sandy
Virginia's governor also declared a state of emergency on Friday morning.
The exact track of Hurricane Sandy is unknown at this time but it is expected to impact Virginia this weekend and early next week when it transitions to an "extratropical storm." According to the office, weather "models predict a slower storm and therefore a longer duration event than usual." Strong winds, heavy rainfall and coastal flooding could come with the storm.
Governor McDonnell said in a statement:
"We are issuing this state of emergency today as a precautionary measure in order to ensure that we are ready for any potential effects of Hurricane Sandy in the Commonwealth. Weather forecasters are predicting significant weather impacts across much of Virginia, and a long duration event. Due to the track of this storm, and the fact that it will be a hurricane transitioning into a more nor'easter-like system, we could see severe weather lasting for 48 hours or more in the state. In that scenario, saturated soil coupled with high winds could lead to major tree damage and extensive power outages. Now is the time for all Virginians to prepare for those possible power outages and disruptions to public services. In addition, forecasters predict falling temperatures during and behind this system, and in areas that suffer power outages this will lead to new challenges in the days after the storm departs. Virginians should make sure their family members, friends and neighbors are prepared for this extended weather event. I encourage all Virginians to gather batteries, blankets, water, canned goods, and other necessities prior to the anticipated onset of storm conditions late Saturday and early Sunday."

The great films from the silent era to today have always addressed the significant, universal themes and truths that lie at the core of human experience. There may be no better film made about the end of life and the instinctive response to look back on one's dreams, laments, regrets, and accomplishments while standing upon the precipice than Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru (Bergman's Wild Strawberries is a close second). More than a somber piece of cinema about an unremarkable everyman's last days, Ikiru (meaning "to live") is a life affirming and poetic masterpiece that beautifully portrays our main character's search for meaning as he learns he has a terminal disease. Kanji Watanabe, a government employee who nobody seems to know or respect, agonizes over the belief that he has not lived a full life of importance and it's this doubt that drives him forward to engage his fleeting days with a fierce purpose. For like so many, the presence of the end animates what it means to be alive. Kurosawa uses his immense directorial talents to bring this theme alive in fresh and unique ways. Fans of Kurosawa's samurai movies may be surprised at the heartbreaking tenderness that he exhibits in this, his most endearing and humane film that explores life's preciousness through one man's death.

And come one DG, there are no good falkow lvl 4s except urgrant and marduk? What about Cyclone, Volfied, Plundering girl pirate, Wrath, Ryu, Ex Mystere, Faytis, and Reia? And that's just at the top of my head.
Ahm there are times this comunity has ... expression issues. This is one of them.
There are many "good" lvl4 falkow units existing in falkow. But good doesnt mean that you just field him and he tanks, protect your lp and keep killing units of your opponent.
All falkow units are sp inefficient considering tanking an attack potential, and thus very vulnerable to an sp lock via revive every turn. They all require direct or indirect field support/sp/alternative resources. If there would be existing such a standalone unit, I would guarantee you, every mid and big falkow file would use it as an early unit, and he/she would be overpowered as hell in any rush and co. This is normal, this has been always this way and makes sense in the concept of falkow.
So when DG sais something like there is no good Falkow lvl4, he want to express that there is no real standalone unit existing in falkow, in contrast to lawtia, in contrast to refess and especially in contrast to gowen.
Just to give you an example: for a wk file to kill an OPlate I need 6 sp advantage and 3 field position alive (not closed) and OPlate sitting alone on the field with lowered agi so i can hit first.
To kill any lonely falkow lvl4 I dont need more then 2 units on the filed, usually no sp advantage at all (maximum to dodge return but here its just about a filed comparison) and maybe agi manipulation.
What is so upsetting some of the players here when they reading the so called "counters" in falkow sphere is, exuse me, by all good will, listing them is pointless. It is pointless cause most falkow files will loose anyway against the gowen file, regardless what kind of lvl4 unit they are running. And if this doesnt happen then that gowen file was designed bad, the opponent played bad/ made a huge mistake I could capitalize on, or he is experimenting with some of the new filed concept type gowen files without success.
But I can understand this is something unusual for the community, especially if they dont play falkow files. After all most falkow players dont open a nerfthread for every new gowen cards and scream: "nerf this, nerf that" every day.
Out of falkow perspective, due to the reasons mentioned above, it is difficult for me to judge this card. Rather it should be looked from the spehres/decks perspective, which usually win/give a good fight against gowen files like this, how they perform and how they can deal with this card.

text: Timing for Fungicide August 16, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet Fungicide application comes down to timing and rate explains Farm Journal's Associate Field Agronomist Missy Bauer in Episode 7 of Corn College TV Season 3. She warns that, in some instances, applying too much fungicide after tasseling will drop yields dramatically. "One of the cautions I put out is timing," says Bauer. "One thing we want to make sure of is that with these plants, especially when we're looking at that late season application, we don't want to be applying at the same rate we used prior to tasseling." (Click here to order Corn College TV Education Series on DVD.) Understanding the use of preventative or curative fungicide is also key. In a situation where the disease is present, a curative formula will be more suitable. A preventative chemical should be considered when the disease is not yet present but the environment and hybrid genetics make for a predictable breakout. To learn more about fungicide application and timing, watch Episode 7 of Corn College TV Season 3 below. Back to news

ALBANY, Ga. (AP) -- Residents in the Albany area are cleaning up after heavy rains sent water from Piney Wood Creek into their homes.
Allen Cravey, assistant chief of the Albany Fire Department, said most of the flooding occurred in lower areas of three roads and in the small community of Acree, east of Albany.
The Albany Herald reports that some residents in flooded homes were able to enter and leave their houses without danger to themselves. Other homes were unoccupied.
However, fire officials brought a flat-bottom motor boat to the scene Wednesday in case it was needed for rescues.
At one point, a rescuer waded to a house known to be occupied, but residents there said it was still possible to get out from the home's rear entrance and they declined help.

WASHINGTON – With the price of gold taking a plunge, bargain hunters aren't likely to score a deal on gold jewelry right away.
Mitch Engle runs Lynn Jewelers in McLean says the price of gold will have to drop for a period of months before the prices are reflected in customized jewelry since large jewelers buy their materials well ahead of time.
The lower prices will have to be around "long enough for the industry can say, 'OK, we now have a stable new, set number and can base our price on that," he says.
Engle says some jewelry prices could drop in weeks. He says buyers will first see the lower prices in simple, classic jewelry.
"Gold wedding bands, gold chains. Basic, simple things that are easy designs, those are the things that will be adjusted relatively quickly," Engle says.

A county water system that has been recently plagued with water line breaks is telling customers in one section to boil their water.
Pamlico County's water system says those residents along Oriental Road, and those on adjoining roads and subdivisions are experiencing low or no water pressure after a break.
The water system says utility installation crews inadvertently struck the line during an installation.
The county will distribute bottled water at the Pecan Grove Marina in the parking lot adjacent to Building C starting at 4:00 p.m.
Earlier this month two people were arrested after deputies say they were purposely vandalizing county water lines. One of those arrested ran the company that did emergency water line repairs for the county.

STMicroelectronics Imaging Technology Helps Visually ImpairedOrCam uses ST camera module and image processor to compensate for lost visual abilities
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, announced that its 5.1 mega-pixel camera module and low-power digital image processor are being used in the revolutionary OrCam camera, a small device that clips on to eyeglasses and dramatically improves the mobility and ability of visually-impaired people to "read" signs, packaging and publications.
By pointing to an object, the wearer tells the OrCam camera what they need interpreted. The ST VX6953 camera module and STV0987 image processor work together to analyze and interpret the scene before the eye-glass-mounted device aurally describes it to the user. Using the ST technology and its own algorithms, the OrCam camera quickly reads a scene or text in different lighting conditions and on a variety of surfaces, including newspapers and signs. Moreover, while the camera comes with a pre-stored library of objects, the wearer can continue to teach OrCam new objects as they use it.
"The VX6953 from ST gave us the ability to deliver a very compact unit, in a short time frame. Its EDOF (Extended Depth Of Field) capability enabled us to work with a fixed-focus camera, and thus saved us space, power and the time it takes auto-focus modules to adjust to changing situations," said Prof. Amnon Shashua, co-founder and chairman of OrCam Technologies.
"ST continues to look at opportunities where our innovative products and technologies help make a positive difference to people's lives," said Paul Grimme, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Europe, Middle East, and Africa Region, STMicroelectronics. "Applying our camera module and image processor to help the visually impaired safely cross streets and read street signs, the newspaper, or a menu in a restaurant, is a real example of how ST makes life.augmented."
OrCam can be ordered through the company's website at: www.orcam.com
According to OrCam, there are 342 million adults worldwide with significant visual impairment. The US National Health Center for Health Statistics claims more than 21 million adults suffer from visual impairment.

News and Recent Developments
- October 2013: Margaret Koshoni reports that their recent work has been foccussed in the village of Dokundji, located in the Republic of Benin. With no electricity and little vegetation, most of the residents are using solar cooking to prepare meals. They have devised a method to be able to cut up a single aluminum windshield shade to produce two solar cookers.
- January 2013: The GRADES-AFRICA Foundation is planning to hold solar cooker workshops at selected churches - They are located around the commercial city of Cotonou in Benin. Our experience working with schools shows that after teaching the technology to students, it was intended they go back home, to try to teach their parents. However during this process, most students could not properly pass on the technology, and unfortunately their parents lost interest. In the upcoming program, GRADES-AFRICA intends to directly teach women's groups at selected churches. The workshops will run March through May 2013, and will include approximately five churches and 130 participants.
- November 2008: Solar Cookers International (SCI) plans to assist with efforts to bring safe water and integrated cooking methods to the central town of Copargo. The pilot project is being initiated by Gabriel Kpadonou, sanitation and public hygiene officer at the Ministry of Health in Cotonou, and executive director of the nonprofit organization Environmental Engineering Group (EEG). Through increased visibility and furthered collaborations with health and water professionals in neighboring countries such as Niger, Togo and Burkina Faso, SCI hopes that this opportunity will provide a gateway to increased activities in West Africa. The coming year looks to be an exciting one, with the expansion of programs to three new countries and the inclusion of integrated cooking methods and water testing into current and future projects. Trees in rural areas cannot replenish themselves as quickly as they are being cut down for fuel, and contaminated water cannot purify itself at the rate that microorganisms are causing disease, and so our mission continues.
The History of Solar Cooking in Benin
Relatively little information has been found about solar cooking activity in Benin. One individual, a man named Vincent Nnanna, writes of having aided in the building and distribution of around 200 cookers. Information about his work and a Solar club in Benin with 20 members was found in the Solar Cooker Review of November, 2002.

Want milder tasting trout? Try removing the scales
I fish for just about anything that swims, and I eat just about every kind of fish I catch.
First and foremost, I'm a trout fisherman. From not long after I could walk, my dad had me streamside or on a lake fishing for trout. Fishing for rainbows, browns and even brookies in California has been among my favorite targets.
While I've altered much of what I "learned" as a youngster to become much more successful today, I also learned to discount one of my father's theories. He would always say trout scales were very small and wouldn't hurt you.
So, the trout generally were fried to a crispy finish with the shiny scales glittering in the pan. And, it's true. Trout scales won't hurt you.
At a lecture I recently gave, I held up a device and asked the audience, "Any idea what this is?"
Everybody responded, "A barbeque grill brush."
I told them, "No, this is a trout scaler."
A lady near the front asked, "Why in the world would you ever scale a trout?" She must have known my dad.
Many people will say up front they don't enjoy eating fish, primarily because of the strong smell and taste.
Trout, and just about any other fish, can be made mild and flavorful.
When you buy fish, it's usually scaled. If you buy ready-to-cook fillets, the fat generally has been removed. Both are primary causes for fish to smell strong when cooking and taste stronger.
While you can go to your local sporting goods store and find a variety of commercial scaling devices, none will work as good as a barbecue grill brush and a tablespoon.
Why remove the scales? Scales produce oils fish need to reduce friction as they swim. It's what makes fish slimy.
For trout, use a short-handled barbecue grill brush. Hold the trout steady and vigorously brush the fish from its tail to its gill plate. You might be surprised how many scales can come off a fish and, once the scales are removed, how the fish is no longer slimy and much easier to hold onto.
Once you cook your fish, gently remove the skin. Between the skin and the meat, you'll see a grayish layer covering the white or pink meat. Remove as much of that grayish layer as you can. It's fat, and it tastes terrible.
You'll be left with a mild fish dinner you'll very much savor.
I run my trout through seasoned flour, dusted lightly with garlic powder and pan-fried in a little oil.
Forget, too, the commercial scalers for bigger fish. Bluegill, black bass, striped bass and just about any other kind of fish can be easily scaled with a tablespoon.
Hold the fish steady with one hand and, with the spoon bowl inverted against the fish, make short little jabs, beginning at the tail. Scales don't go flying, as they would if you used a knife or most devices claiming to be scalers. They easily come off in place.
I always keep a couple of old tablespoons in my tackle gear for fish with larger scales than trout.
Not everybody in your household enjoys fish? Just remember that field preparation is as important as cooking preparation.
Don't get stuck in your old rut of taking care of your fish. Try something different and see if it makes a difference.
Current fishing
Long-awaited and highly needed storms are here, so this isn't an ideal week for fishing, although there should be windows of opportunity. Just dress appropriately, and you can still have a good outing.
Lake Berryessa: It's a short hop to the closest boat-launching facility here at Markley Cove. Fish from the mouth of the cove to around the dam. There's been a hot king salmon bite, including some to six pounds.
Collins Lake: They tout their springtime trout-planting program, and it's underway. About half of a recent plant of nearly 2,000 pounds included three- to seven-pounders. Rod-bending action has been dynamite for those soaking Power Bait or crawlers at the lower-end campground area that provides great shore fishing access. Boaters, too, are getting their share hauling a crawler behind blades or a variety of flashy lures. The deeper water around the dam and on the east side of the lake has provided most of the better action for boaters.
French Meadows-Hell Hole: French Meadows Reservoir has been out of reach due to snow, and Hell Hole no longer is accessible. Both probably will be unreachable until after the spring snowmelt.
Rollins Lake: The lake is all but full, and boaters working the Bear River section are nailing nice browns and rainbows. Try hauling a Rapala for brown trout and a Needlefish or the old standby, a threaded crawler, for a rainbow.
San Pablo Bay: The bad news is there are still several unwanted critters in the bay that enjoy your expensive sturgeon baits. The good news is there's been a decent bite on sturgeon; plus, halibut have moved in. The unwanted critters — kingfish, crab, starry flounder — love shrimp baits and pile worms. Eel, however, is much more difficult for them to get off the hook, so you might try that. If you don't use eel, expect to go through more bait than usual to find a sturgeon.
Live anchovy aren't available this time of year, but some shops carry shiners, and they're much easier to keep alive than anchovy. Take a minnow bucket, drift a few shiners, and your chance of hooking a halibut is pretty good.

Neurocognition of Language Lab Engaged in Multidisciplinary Research on Prolonged Grief COPY
Published in
The study will recruit adults ages 25-65 in North America who have lost a spouse in the past three to four months and track them over a 25-month period, during which they will complete a battery of questionnaires and participate in a series of interviews and experimental and neuropsychological procedures.
The Neurocognition of Language Lab recently upgraded its dense array EEG system to allow for enhanced simultaneous study of the central and peripheral nervous system. The new EEG system, produced by Electrical Geodesics, features 128 HydroCel Geodesic Sensors for EEG recording with an additional seven peripheral sensors designed to record ECG (electrocardiogram), EMG (electromyogram), respiration (effort, temperature, and pressure), and body position.

Graduate Bulletin 2013-2015 » Academic Programs and Courses » Health Sciences » M.S. Program in Nutrition
M.S. Program in Nutrition
The Master of Science Program in Nutrition prepares students for a wide range of professional positions in either clinical or community nutrition, and for doctoral study in these fields. Graduates of the program may find career opportunities as clinical nutritionists within health-care settings and as nutrition educators in the community. Those graduating from the Dietetic Internship are eligible to sit for the Registration Examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to become Registered Dietitians (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN).
Admission Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited college or university.
- Demonstrated ability to successfully pursue graduate study by having achieved a minimum grade average of B (3.0) in the undergraduate record as a whole and in courses most relevant to the graduate discipline.
- Two letters of recommendation.
- Must have completed the following courses and credits (or their equivalents):
In Basic Science: courses in physiology (BIO 181 and 182, or 228), inorganic chemistry (CHE 114 and 115), and organic chemistry (CHE 120 and 121).
In Nutrition: courses in introductory (HSD 240) and advanced nutrition (DFN 445), diet and disease (DFN 348 and 448), and foods (DFN 120 and 220). Deficiencies in undergraduate preparation may be rectified through Lehman's undergraduate program in Dietetics, Foods, and Nutrition, which is accredited by the ACEND (Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics) as a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). http://www.eatright.org/ACEND/content.aspx?id=10905.
Degree Requirements
Each candidate must complete an approved program of study of at least 37 credits that includes the general core courses and approved elective courses, which may include the courses required for the Dietetic Internship (DI) program. The student may elect either to write a thesis or pass a comprehensive examination for a minimum total of 37 credits. At this time, only the comprehensive exam is being offered.
Core Courses: All students are required to take the following courses and credits:
HEA 600 (3), HEA 620 (3), BIO 610 (4) or BIO 644 (4), DFN 610 (3), DFN 620 (3), DFN 641 (3), DFN 651 (3), and DFN 791 (3) (total of 25 credits).
Elective Courses: Students may select from the following courses and credits for a minimum of 12 credits:
DFN 530 (4), 621 (3), 630 (3-6), 661 (3), 692 (3-6), 693 (3-6), 730 (3), 731 (3), 741 (3), 771 (3), 792 (3), 793 (3), 794 (3-6), 795 (3-6), HSD 606, and other courses selected with permission of the Graduate Adviser (total of a minimum of 12 credits).
A maximum of 9 credits from DFN 730 and 731 may be credited toward the requirements for the MS degree for those students completing the DI program.
Admission Requirements to Dietetic Internship Program (DI)
Students who wish to enter the DI must be accepted into Lehman's M.S. in Nutrition Program and then submit an additional application to the DI. Places in the DI are limited and therefore admission into the DI is competitive. Students must conform to the admissions policies of the DI as itemized on the web pages of the DI program (www.lehman.edu/lehman/dietetics ), which includes the computerized matching program administered through "D & D Digital Systems."
Included in the DI application are the following:
- The ACEND internship application form.
- Two recommendations on ACEND forms.
- Original undergraduate and/or graduate transcripts.
- ADPD Verification Statement attesting to the completion of ACEND-approved coursework equivalent to the undergraduate program in Dietetics, Foods, and Nutrition.
- One page personal statement.
- Application fee.
Applications must be submitted to the DI Director by February 15 for entry into the DI class beginning in the Fall semester.
Interns must complete the following four graduate courses: DFN 641, 651, 661, and HEA 620, concurrent with the DI.
Completion Requirements for Dietetic Internship Program
- In order to sit for the RD examination, students must be admitted to the M.S. in Nutrition program; submit a separate application to the DI; participate in computer matching; be admitted into the DI; complete four corequisite courses; and complete a minimum of 1200 hours of supervised preprofessional practice (DFN 730 for 3 semesters), and attend the Concepts and Methods of Dietetics Practice seminar (DFN 731) for 3 semesters or until the requirements are fulfilled. The DI is completed over a three-semester period (12 months).
- A verification statement for completion of the DI will be granted following successful completion (with a mean GPA of at least 3.0) of DFN 641 (3), 651 (3), 661 (3), HEA 620 (3), 730 (9), and 731 (9).
- Completion of the master's program is not required for completion of the Dietetic Internship.

This made me smile. Especially the parts in bold. I saw PPP07 flop while grinding the aug file right after the errata, many lols were had (well at least i was laughing).

I feel bad for you for dropping ex maid simply because it can't be free attack immune, i think you missed the whole point of her potential to pinpoint and her innate 5 def WHILE still being able to go attack immune with another unit and heal herself for 1 sp (i mean if it was a grim, you pretty much saved yourself a file slot). when in doubt, think of the utility, both what you don't have and what you may have too many of.

- This article is about a mission in GTA San Andreas. For the bistro in Saint Mark's, which the mission also bases itself on, see Marco's Bistro.
"A hit in Liberty City? Cool. But, I'm going to need some backup." ---Carl Johnson
Saint Mark's Bistro is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Leone Family Don Salvatore Leone from the office at Caligula's Palace, a casino located along The Strip in Las Venturas, San Andreas.
Carl is told by Salvatore Leone to conduct an attack on the Saint Mark's Bistro in Liberty City as the main objective to kill Marco Forelli, Carl gladly accept the job, but needs back up, and chooses Paul, Maccer and Rosenberg to go with him. Moments later outside, CJ tells Paul and the others to escape the city as soon as possible, while he goes to Liberty City to finish the task. The player is prompted to drive to Las Venturas Airport where the player will find a jet at the beginning of the runway on the airfield to fly to Liberty City. The player must reach and fly through the Corona in order to trigger the cutscene for the bulk of the mission. The player will be dropped off at the Saint Mark's Bistro via Taxi Cab. Carl enters the restaurant and a henchman will tell Carl that he needs an invitation in order to access the restaurant. Carl objectes to his words and takes cover from enemy fire behind some plants. The player must make their way downstairs, killing henchmen on the way down to the bar, through the kitchen and eventually to an empty lot in the back of the restaurant. From there, the player has a full view of the backyard from a tall staircase leading to the kitchen. The player must then take out the remaining henchmen and kill Marco who is hiding behind a group of crates, if the mission turns out to happen so. (Marco can also be killed within the Bar area too). After Marco's death, another cutscene plays out where Carl is flying the plane again, and the player must fly back to Las Venturas. When the player has reached the location at the airport, the mission ends.
Mission Objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Las Venturas Airport
- The jet is at the end of the runway, get into it and fly into Liberty City
- Fly to Liberty City
- Kill Forelli and all of his bodyguards
- Fly back to Las Venturas Airport
- This is the second mission in GTA: San Andreas (after Freefall) that requires Carl to fly a substantial distance away from the main San Andreas islands (in this case, flying towards the yellow icon before being "transported" to Liberty City).
- Using cheats to jump over the brick wall allows the player to explore parts of a poorly detailed Portland, however, the ground is not always solid, and only parts of the city are viewable.
- If the player tries to explore Portland by going on the road, Carl will fall down through the road, and will not stop falling until he hits the water in San Fierro. However, the entire state will be invisible apart from the Doherty garage and the area immediately surrounding it.
- The Jetpack cheat cannot be used to fly away from the mission, as there is an invisible ceiling preventing the Jetpack from gaining height. A Gameshark or Action Replay cheats device however can allow the Jetpack to ascend.
- Deleted audio for the game reveals that Rockstar Games had intended for the high ranking Forelli Family gang member to be called Marco Forelli. However, as the audio was not used, the character remains un-named.
- Liberty City is technically an interior, found in the interior world, despite having an exterior look. It is located next to CJ's garage in San Fierro, but it is situated high in the sky.
- During the mission, a car can be seen in the yard behind the bistro; it has a unique license plate reading "4GEDIT" ("forget it"), a message to the player to forget about exploring Liberty City.
- The license plate on the Sentinel has Las Venturas written on it, which is odd as the mission takes place in Liberty City. This is likely due to the fact that that the mission started in Las Venturas.
- If the player destroys the Sentinel in the courtyard, then only the trunk and hood will fall off, and all the four doors will stay on, hinting that the car is locked.
- The area behind the bistro in Grand Theft Auto III and Liberty City Stories is just empty space, only grass are there. This suggests that the back of the bistro was destroyed by 1998.
- This mission originally had the Forelli mobster escape by car, which would lead CJ into a car chase around Portland. The mission was changed to a basic shootout early in development. This is the reason why the majority of Portland is only partially developed, with poor textures. It is believed that it was removed due to the DVD not being able to hold that much data.
- The music heard inside the restaurant is Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings.
- In relation to Liberty City's location on the east coast with San Andreas, which is located on the west coast, it would take approximately 5-6 hours to fly between them.
- Although this mission primarily takes place in Liberty City, the radio station that the player was last listening to can oddly be heard on the taxi while pulling up to the bistro. This is impossible as a radio on the east coast cannot pick up the signals of west coast radio stations - especially without the use of a satellite radio in 1992.
- Occasionally, the Taxi CJ is riding can run over a pedestrian.
- Strangely, when you exit the Shamal after leaving Liberty City (which ends up falling into the water), a Trip Skip can be activated, teleporting the player back to Caligula's Casino.
- If the mission Key to Her Heart hasn't been started yet, after the conclusion of this mission Carl will receive a chastising phone call from Wu Zi Mu telling him to get on with the planning of the heist.
- When the player is about to land, an ATC communication can be heard between Carl and the controller, where Carl is requesting landing clearance. Strangely, the controller tells Carl, "you are cleared for landing on Runway 3", although the runway number actually reads 69.
- The name "Saint Mark's Bistro" is possibly a referrence to a part of European revolution in 1848. It took place in Italy, where Saint mark's Republic was established and it was the last republic to be interventioned to (and therefore deleted from map) by Austria. The referrence consists in the mission being the last strike on Forellis, who are possibly Italians as well.
- If the player reaches to Liberty City, He will automatically receive a Normal Pistol and if the player has a Desert Eagle or a Silenced 9mm it will be replaced to the normal pistol

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It is a time of traditions, and the Empty Stocking Fund is one of Augusta's oldest.
The concert held at First Baptist Church Of Augusta raises funds for thousands of children and families who are less fortunate.
The sounds from the Augusta Concert Band filled the church with Christmas carols.
Ray Baird plays the trumpet for the Augusta Concert Band.
"The Augusta Concert Band is a mix of profession musicians and people like me just amateurs that just want to play in their old age," Baird said.
And when he plays , he plays for a good cause: The Empty Stocking Fund.
"I read all of that every day in the front page about how many people have given and it's really neat to be apart of that to be the instrument through which that comes. You know you are doing something good," he said.
For more than 80 years, the holiday charity has raised money to make Christmas brighter for families.
Last year alone, more than $100,000 went to hundreds of local families.
For Baird, the thought of helping others is like music to his ears.

Comments On Jun 17, 2012:I bought these as I wanted a more comfortable knee guard for enduro's and desert racing. Out of the box, the stitching was coming undone on one of the guards. The velcro straps are too long for my (skinny) legs, causing the velcro to rub on the skin behind my knee - very painful after a few hours of riding. I've started wearing compression pants underneath my knee guards and socks and this is heaps more comfortable. These guards do the job, but I think they could be better.

Comments On Feb 05, 2012:Quality is very good, but very bulky for men with average to large calfs.If you don't have boots with high adjustability, not going to fit inside. Comfortable during ride, but afterwards, you'll notice the back of your legs above knees are sore and chaffed.

Comments On Jan 05, 2012:I love them!
I do not like the elbow ones.
The Knee guards are the best!
I have crashed lots in Moab and loved haveing them on! They work great with my Alpine Star Boots They do not work good with Shoes!

Comments On Sep 26, 2011:These knee guards are comfortable, but I found them hot and tad bulky. I also think they're good for certain riding. I do offroad only and don't think they would be as good for that compared to say FMX or downhill mtn biking. I decided that I really don't want shin protection as the shin guards added another 1/2" at least to my boot, making by boot fit odd with them tucked inside. Worth checking out if you expect to smash your shins a lot, but my review is mixed due to the comfort vs. fit vs. how hot they got.

Comments On Oct 30, 2010:I had the Thor quadrant knee guards and found them uncomfortable, so I bought these. They're great, they fit under my gear and are very coumfy tucked into my boots. I have very skinny legs and there was enough vel-cro for me, but they will fit a wide range of people with larger legs. I found like all knee guards they slid around some, but if you wear them with thigh high socks it great

Comments On Jul 05, 2010:These knee guards fit great under my mx pants. They are quite comfortable as they don't bind up when I bend my knee.

WASHINGTON – After wearing out at least 21 pairs of walking shoes, Alan Bounville ended his 6,000 mile awareness walk in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. It was a very long walk "Into The Light" to end gender discrimination.
Since leaving Seattle, Wash. on May 31, 2011, Bounville walked from coast to coast pushing a cart with two rainbow-colored signs that read, "Full Equality NOW!"
It was his personal push for full equality based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. The walk did not take a direct route because he held many candlelight vigils at the specific places where people have been murdered or have taken their own lives due to gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation discrimination.
At the White House last evening, Bounville held another candle light vigil and read a number of the those more than a thousand names. He documented his journey on his website and on YouTube.

The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

AIKEN, S.C. -- Students at USC Aiken are adjusting to the new school year -- and a new leader.
Dr. Sandra Jordan is the first female chancellor to lead the university in its 51-year history.
"I hope that I can serve as a role model to young women who aspire to the highest executive levels," Jordan said.
The school was recently re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and schools, also known as SACS, of which Jordan was a board member.
"This campus decided on the topic of critical inquiry ... the ability to think critically to solve problems creatively," Jordan said.
Having been at the school for almost two months, She's already had the opportunity to interact with the new freshman, upperclassmen, faculty and staff.
"Everybody said, 'I love it here. I would never work anywhere else. I love being part of this institution,'" Jordan said.
Jordan says she plans to institute "Forward Together," an open panel for students and the community to voice their concerns.
"I'm going to ask people to dream a little bit about how we as an institution will move forward," Jordan said.
One thing is for certain, the new chancellor says she is ready to leave her legacy at USCA.
"I want to be able to say that I was able to strengthen the institution to make it an even richer environment for learning," Jordan said.
The first "Forward Together" meeting will be this coming Tuesday on Sept. 11.

The State Attorney General has issued a warning about a website that looks like it should help America's military men and women.
Gibill.com is an official-looking website that steered military veterans to expensive for-profit schools. Now, the site is being turned over to the government and its owners must pay $2.5 million to North Carolina and 19 other states for misleading veterans and service members.
Attorney General Roy Cooper said gibill.com appeared to be operated, owned or endorsed by the U.S. government or military. The sites are actually run by a private company that is payed to promote for-profit schools.

Faculty Bio
Gregory C. Carlson, PhD
Assistant Professor of Neuroscience in Psychiatry
Department of Psychiatry faculty bio
Greg Carlson's laboratory is working to identify and understand the cortical circuit abnormalities that underlie neuropsychiatric disorders. We believe that we can better understand the normal function of cortical circuitry by understanding the differences in neuronal circuit function that contribute to these disorders. This work will also provide a better foundation for the rational development and testing of therapies for these diseases. Dr. Carlson's research primarily deploys in vitro electrophysiology, state-of-the-art voltage-sensitive dye, and other novel imaging methods to probe circuit abnormalities in rodent models of complex neuropsychiatric disorders. We are currently working on models of Rett Syndrome, autism, epilepsy and schizophrenia.
Areas of Investigation
- Autism
- Cortical Dynamics
- Epigenetics
- Epilepsy
- Learning and Memory
- Molecular and Cellular Neuropathology

Guide-built for early season upland hunting and featuring a women's-specific design and fit. Unique, lighter weight, dense, and breathable cotton weave keeps brush at bay and you cool and comfortable. Note: This shirt has a performance fit. If you prefer a more classic fit, please order one size up.
The primary goal of our Sport Shop sizing is to achieve both freedom of movement and maximum function. Unlike oversized garments with excess fabric, our engineered patterns allow unrestricted arm movement—both up and forward—while also reducing bulk. Through extensive field testing we have discovered that this performance fit prevents interference when hunting and shooting. But if you still prefer a loose fitting shirt or jacket, please size up one size.

Comments about Women's Palouse Long-Sleeve Hunting Shirt:
I typically wear a size 4. In Eddie Bauer I'm a solid Small--or I thought. This shirt runs SMALL. I bought a medium and it tights snug in the arms and shoulders. I love the shirt but a large would be way too big. I'm making due with the medium but will NOT be putting it in the dryer for concerns it will shirk even more.
Comments about Women's Palouse Long-Sleeve Hunting Shirt:
Nice solid hunting shirt for women. The cut is true to size, which is always tough to find in women's hunting clothes. If you are looking for shoulder padding (for shotgun firing), there isn't much here. It is more decorative than anything, but it is comfortable and attractive, so you can't hope for much more!

Comments about Women's Palouse Long-Sleeve Hunting Shirt:
Ordered a medium and a large due to previous reviews. I kept the large and returned the medium.

Comments about Women's Palouse Long-Sleeve Hunting Shirt:
I just love the looks of this shirt and it fits true to size on me. The orange patch and pocket placement really add style and I receive many compliments when I wear it. This shirt looks like it is a very heavy cotton, but it's actually not which makes it a great summer shirt.

Here is how the game works:
I will start by sharing the title of a song and who sang/wrote it, then the next person chooses ONE word from the title and is in the title of another song which they will share along with who sang/wrote it. To make this game easy you are allowed to choose the small words that are in songs - the, and, me, you .... etc.
Here is an example:
I might start with: Little Darlin by The Diamonds
the next person - Hey LITTLE Girl by Del Shannon
then the following person - Bad GIRL by Madonna
It may help to either type in capital letters or highlight with colour the word you have chosen to use.
Here is a good website for finding songs: http://tsort.info/music/siteindex_l08.htm
(this is a safe website - I have visited it often - no viruses)
Here is the first song to get us started:
Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley
