Tracey De Santa
this wiki
Tracey De Santa, formerly Tracey Townley, is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto V.
Tracey is the daughter of Michael De Santa and Amanda De Santa and the sister of Jimmy. She was placed in the FIB Witness Protection Program along with her family nine years before the beginning of the game.
Events of GTA V
It appears she does not have a very good relationship with her father and brother as in Friend Request he is shown roughhousing her for the T.V. remote. However, in Complications, she does admit to loving her brother. Her drinking of alcohol, having tattoos, and asking to have boys over for the night at a young age is probably the result of less than stellar parenting. She auditions for Fame or Shame, then eventually gets on the show (as seen in the picture below). She sings a song called Daddy Issues on stage, which is mainly about her dad. She's also held hostage by a Merryweather goon in "Meltdown" but Michael saves her.
PersonalityTracey's true personality cannot be proven, as she is quite upset about many things in-game, including having bad relationships with the members of her family, her parents dissaproval of her behavior and a hostile relation towards Jimmy. She appears to be very spoiled and is portrayed as a stereotypical "Daddy's Girl". She is known to be rebellious in her actions against her parents, and even going as far as auditioning for Fame or Shame without her parent's approval.
Despite her rebellious disagreeable behavior, she has some sense of decency. There have been moments throughout the game where she has shown respect and compassion toward her father, Michael De Santa, through e-mails and text messages, worrying about his safety when he is in danger and missing him when he is seperated from his family. Despite crashing her audition for Fame of Shame, she still prefers him as a father figure over Fabian.
Near the end of the game she plans to attend college, which Michael highly approves of.
Unlike the rest of her family, Tracey has blonde hair. Also, in the trailer she appears to have two tattoos. One is on her lower back. This type of tattoo is effectively known as a "Tramp Stamp". The other is what appears to be a near vertical line of stars on the back of her neck.
Mission appearances
- Complications
- Father/Son
- Daddy's Little Girl
- Friend Request
- Fame or Shame
- Reuniting the Family
- Doting Dad (Boss; optional)
- Meltdown
- Considering the fact that her brother is a redhead and both her parents have brown hair, she probably dyed her hair, as it is blonde.
- She has a tattoo on her shoulder, nearly identical to Rihanna as seen in Daddy's Little Girl.
- If the player calls Tracey after "Did Someone Say Yoga?", her voicemail message will refer to herself as "Tracey Suxx", and mention that she works a phone sex service via a web cam. The name "Suxx" is a possible reference to Candy Suxx from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
- This message will no longer play after "Reuniting the Family".
- It can be assumed she also livestreams her having sexual intercourse while her parents are out, some times even inviting viewers over to have sex with her on camera.
- The license plate on Tracey's Issi reads "P3RSEUS", referencing Perseus, the high-end clothing store from GTA IV.'
- In her bedroom, above her wardrobe, there is a picture of a much younger Tracey, wearing what appears to be a private school uniform, hinting that she went to a private school.
- Should the player choose to kill Michael, in the mission The Time's Come, Michael will get a call from Amanda while meeting Franklin, hearing the news that Tracey got into college. She does go to college in the other endings as well. In game, she can be seen at her computer in her room. Should the player talk to her as Michael, she will comment on how hard college is.
- Tracey's first name was spellt different in the Beta, it was spelt "Tracy" according to the Grand Theft Auto V cover story on Gameinformer. However, this may have been just a spelling mistake by Gameinformer and it was spelt 'Tracey' all along.
- Her phone number is 273-555-0168.
- If Tracey is at home, the player can witness some interesting activities. Sometimes when approaching the front door, Tracey will storm out from the side of her house either complaining that her car has no gas, or that she's angry that Jimmy keeps borrowing her car. Other times, she can be found in her room, lying on her bed and using her laptop or talking on the phone. And on rare ocassions, she can be found in the bathroom puking into the toilet after having had too much alcohol. Also, sex sounds can sometimes be heard in her bedroom. Michael is unable to enter the room due to the door being locked. Tracey can also be found on the stairs begging for money, claiming that she loves her father and will abide by his rules. You have the option to give her 50 dollars.
- In the mission Fame or Shame, it is seen that Tracey has her hair styled in a bun, but in Tracey's Fame or Shame audition poster, her hair is styled in a ponytail. (As seen below)
- If other protagonists, like Franklin or Trevor, enter the De Santa household while Tracey is near the pool sunbathing, Michael will text the player saying "Is that you acting creepy outside my house?"
- In the trailer when she is fighting for the remote with her father, she is wearing grey pants, but in the mission Friend Request, they are purple.

Antibiotics for Cystic Fibrosis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium
|Azactam, Cayston
|Fortaz, Tazicef
|Bethkis, TOBI
How It Works
Antibiotics kill bacteria that cause infection. After your doctor has determined what type of bacteria is present, he or she will prescribe the right kind of antibiotic.
Why It Is Used
Antibiotics can reduce the damage caused by lung infections in people who have cystic fibrosis. When they are given at the first sign of a lung infection, they may prevent lasting infection and the problems that can arise from it.
How Well It Works
Antibiotics improve how well the lungs work and help prevent lung problems from getting worse.
Inhaled antibiotics such as tobramycin help improve the health of the lungs and prevent flare-ups in people who have moderate to severe cystic fibrosis. And they help prevent flare-ups in people who have mild cystic fibrosis.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Sudden pain after exercise (especially in your ankle, back of the knee or leg, shoulder, elbow, or wrist).
- Pain, burning, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
- Fainting.
- An irregular or slow heart rate.
Common side effects of oral antibiotics (pill or liquid) include:
- Diarrhea.
- Dizziness.
- Headache.
- Tiredness.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Mild stomach pain or cramps, nausea, loss of appetite.
- Metallic or unpleasant taste in the mouth.
Common side effects of inhaled or injected antibiotics include:
- Loss of hearing.
- Feeling unsteady or dizzy.
- Greatly increased or decreased frequency of urination or amount of urine.
- Increased thirst.
- Loss of appetite.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Muscle twitching or seizures.
- Ringing, buzzing, or a feeling of fullness in the ears.
Some inhaled antibiotics can irritate the lungs and cause coughing. Some may also taste and smell bad.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Some oral antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
- Stay out of the sun, if possible.
- Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and hats, if possible.
- Use sunscreen with an SPF that your doctor recommends.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Roseville climber dies on Mt. Everest
Rick Hitch of Roseville, a longtime girls soccer coach who in recent years set out to climb the highest mountain on each continent, died Sunday on Mt. Everest.
In climbing Mt. Everest, Hitch was attempting to reach his last of the Seven Summits. Hitch climbed Kilimanjaro in Africa (August 2008, 19,340 feet), McKinley in Alaska (June 2009, 20,320), Aconcagua in Argentina (February 2010, 22,841), Elbrus in Russia (July 2010, 18,510), Kosciuszko in Australia (October 2010, 7,310) and Vinson in Antarctica (December 2010, 16,050).
In an interview with the Press Tribune in March, Rick Hitch described himself as "one of those kids in junior high that couldn't break 7.0 (seconds) in the 50," but he found his calling with mountain climbing.
"Putting one foot in front of the other and walking seems to be something I can do," he said. "I'm good at grinding something out slowly, and that's climbing – not losing your focus."
Hitch and his wife, Loretta, departed for Mt. Everest on March 26. She returned to Roseville on April 12.
Loretta Hitch said Monday her husband, six other climbers and two guides were en route to Camp 3, at 23,621 feet, when he collapsed. Guides tried to revive him for 45 minutes, but he never regained consciousness. The official cause of death was still unknown Tuesday.
Loretta Hitch said Rick was her best friend and her hero. She described him as a "wonderful" husband and father.
"We had an acronym for each other, HLBF — Husband, Lover, Best Friend — and we did everything together," she said. "We enjoyed all of our adventures together. He truly was my soul mate. I'm just so grateful for the three weeks I was able to share with him on this trek. It was an amazing adventure to do with him. He helped me and encouraged me along the way."
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Item has a Minimum Qty
Perfect for the urban cyclist
This fits nicely on the top-tube of my Fisher-Trek Mendota. While sold to hold gels and snacks, I use it to hold my iPhone, license, credit card/cash, house keys, etc. Has a small inner zipper pocket that can hold Metro tokens, band aids, and other small flat things. As others have recommended, I took out the plastic liner right away, and it holds its shape fine without it. Zipper faces towards the rider. The velcro is quite aggressive and does not come loose; the straps are pretty long (you can cut off the extra if your bike has narrow tubing and you don't need the extra length). If you actually want to carry food, it holds a Kind bar, a Luna Bar, and a Lara bar (at the same time) plus a few gels (or a whole fistful of gels instead). It's somewhat water-resistant - it kept my iPhone dry enough during about 30 minutes of unexpected light rain - I don't think it would have kept the water out for a longer or heavier rain. Its slim size means I can leave it on the bike all the time - it never gets in the way.

LogMeIn Inc. Stock Downgraded (LOGM)
TheStreet) -- LogMeIn (Nasdaq: LOGM) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity.NEW YORK (
-- Written by a member of TheStreet Ratings Staff
TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- LOGM's revenue growth trails the industry average of 35.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 16.1%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- LOGM has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 2.64, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for LOGMEIN INC is currently very high, coming in at 93.80%. Regardless of LOGM's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, LOGM's net profit margin of 1.70% is significantly lower than the same period one year prior.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Internet Software & Services industry and the overall market, LOGMEIN INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 32.11%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 81.81% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Although its share price is down sharply from a year ago, do not assume that it can now be tagged as cheap and attractive. The reality is that, based on its current price in relation to its earnings, LOGM is still more expensive than most of the other companies in its industry.

Levels of Data Protection
Backing-up and Restoring Data, describes the role of the system databanks LOGDB and TRANSDB when used in conjunction with backup and restore, in protecting data against loss.
Databank shadowing provides an even higher level of protection. Listed below are the different ways in which data can be protected from loss (from the least amount of protection to the highest).
All Databanks on One Disk and No Logging
If a databank is lost with this level of protection, it is only possible to continue operations from the last backup copy (all changes since the last backup was taken are lost).
Databanks can be lost due to accidental deletion, disk crashes (which can destroy all files on a disk), etc. This level of protection is not recommended except for trash databanks with unimportant contents.
Logging, with LOGDB and TRANSDB on a Separate Disk from the Data
LOGDB and TRANSDB are vital databanks if the system stops or if any databanks are lost. Because of this, LOGDB and TRANSDB should be stored on separate disks, as shown in the following figure:
Application data should be stored on the TRANSDB disk if it cannot be stored separately.
If a databank is lost, it can be restored to its original state by applying the transactions in LOGDB and TRANSDB to a restored backup of the databank.
This may take some time, especially if the databank is large and if there is a lot of transaction information stored in LOGDB.
Caution: If the databank disk and the TRANSDB or LOGDB disk are handled by the same disk controller, a disk controller failure may cause both disks to crash.
This security level gives a high degree of security and is recommended for databanks containing important data used in a system where the delay before the system is restored after a crash is not critical.
To assure this high degree of security, backup files should always be stored on separate removable media (e.g. CD/RW).
Shadowing, with Shadows on a Separate Disk
Shadows should always be stored on a separate disk from the masters to protect them from a total disk crash that could destroy both the master and shadow databanks.
It is also advisable to use separate disk controllers to assure that a corrupt disk controller does not destroy the disks holding both the masters and the shadows.
If a databank is lost, its shadow can be transformed into a master and the shadow automatically takes over with no loss of data.
Since shadows are updated after the master, and operations are saved in TRANSDB until the shadow is updated, it is important that TRANSDB is consistent when a shadow is transformed.
To ensure this, you should shadow TRANSDB. We strongly recommend that TRANSDB and its shadow are stored on separate disks, as shown in the following diagram:
This arrangement gives a high degree of security and is recommended for databanks containing important data used in a system where it is vital to be able to get the system running again quickly after a disk crash.
Shadowing and Logging
Combining shadowing and logging, see Backing-up and Restoring Data, gives the highest level of data protection.
If logging is used, the data is protected if both the master and the shadow disks become corrupted.
And, when shadowing is combined with logging (with LOGDB on a third disk) and backups are regularly taken to separate media (CD/RW, etc.), then data is always protected if any two of the disks crash, for example:
Of course, additional disks can be used, just as long as the databanks that are separated above are not placed on the same disks. If you only have two disk drives available and all the databanks are shadowed, then logging is of little value. Shadowing LOGDB will not increase data protection significantly in this configuration.
Different degrees of data security can be used for different databanks, depending on the importance of the data. It is however important that all inter-dependent databanks (because of foreign key relationships, etc.) have the same level of protection. Otherwise logical inconsistencies may result if there is a disk crash.

This recipe is fabulous. I added a little extra cheese which improved it. My 3 year old even liked it!
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
418 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
I thought this was really good. I did add red pepper for a little kick and used fire roasted tomatoes (added Italian seasoning myself) for a little more flavor. I also added a can of artichoke hearts for a little more substance and even my meat loving husband enjoyed it. Had leftovers for lunch today and it was just as good. Will definitely become a "Meatless Mondays" staple around our house.
This was very boring. Served it for a friend and we were both disappointed. Needs improvement!
Loved this....so tasty and simple. Frying the gnocchi is a little messy but I keep the initial time to a minimum and let them cook in the liquid mix a little longer to finish.
We enjoyed this recipe during the holidays, while visiting family in Oregon. My daughter substituted spinach and some crushed red pepper. It was a hit all around. Thanks.

Tomb Raider (Credit: Square-Enix)
After stunning gamers with her innovative 1996 debut, the Tomb Raider star leaped, shot, puzzled, climbed, tumbled and very much raided through a feast of follow-ups. Few reached the heights of the original game, however, and despite big-screen success via Angelina Jolie, the Tomb Raider franchise has been somewhat lost at sea.
Fittingly, that's just where we find Lara at the start of the rebooted Tomb Raider, releasing March 5. Marooned on a not-entirely-deserted island, the heroine seeks salvation not only from the cruel twist of fate that led to her shipwreck, but from the fickle tastes of gamers grown tired with her cliff-clinging schtick.
As it turns out, salvation is exactly what she's found. Currently averaging an 87 at Metacritic, Lara's newest tale finds her back on top of the video game peak.
It wasn't an easy climb, however. Essentially an origin story, Tomb Raider stars a young Lara who quickly finds herself in over her head trying to survive a harsh tropical environment teeming with unfriendly locals. Darker and grittier than past games, the new tone is welcomed.
"The Lara of the new Tomb Raider isn't the plastic princess that we're used to, she's an ordinary girl who, when thrown into extraordinary circumstances, makes the decision to live through them," praises The Escapist's Susan Arendt. "She's strong when the situation demands it, and fragile in the quiet moments between. She's scared, but determined, capable but unsure. She's marvelous."
"This is the Tomb Raider you've wanted for years," she adds, giving it a perfect 5/5.
Game Informer's Matt Miller agrees, calling Lara "a great lead" and praising the "emotional, nuanced voice acting" of current Croft Camilla Luddington ("Californication," "William & Kate"). But the real fun comes from the reboot's gameplay.
"Tomb Raider strikes a near-perfect balance between traversal, exploration, and combat, and it does so by letting players set that balance themselves," Miller writes in a 9.25/10 review. "In big and little ways, Tomb Raider embraces the joy of discovery, and the player can't help but be pulled along for the ride."
It's a pretty rough ride, to be sure. Lara gets her hands exceptionally dirty roaming the game's massive island environment, and not just from gripping crevices. While she initially struggles with the moral vagaries of killing human enemies, Lara eventually locates her inner Rambo and lets it loose.
"Combat has never been the strength of Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider games, but the developer has finally nailed it here," concedes IGN's Keza MacDonald. "Whether with a bow, a shotgun or a pistol, fighting is fun, and crucially there's not too much of it (though the body-count is certainly high)."
MacDonald also points out that while the game clearly borrows inspiration from other recent action games and occasionally lapses into clichéd moments, "it does so with such confidence and aplomb that you don't mind."
"Once it gets going, Tomb Raider is high-octane and squeezes your adrenaline gland dry, but it's also got great variety and pacing. There are quiet, tense moments in between the combat-heavy setpieces, and you're never in the same place doing the same thing twice." She gives it a 9.1/10.
If there's a rock in Lara's boot, it's the game's seemingly tacked-on multiplayer, which Gamespot's Carolyn Petit calls "enjoyable but unremarkable" in an 8.5/10 review. The thought's echoed by Eurogamer's Ellie Gibson, who believes the competitive shooting "just doesn't make sense thematically."
"It's the 54th layer of icing on a cake collapsing under the weight of seven thousand glacé cherries," she insists, hungrily, while doling out a decent 8/10 score.
Most, however, agree the multiplayer can be largely ignored in favor of the scintillating single-player game. Reboots often fall short of the mark-- and rarely pay off as intended -- but it appears Lara's latest is her most impressive leap in years. Welcome back, Ms. Croft.

39 U.S. Code § 3641 - Market tests of experimental products
prev | next
(a) Authority.—
(1) In general.— The Postal Service may conduct market tests of experimental products in accordance with this section.
(b) Conditions.— A product may not be tested under this section unless it satisfies each of the following:
(1) Significantly different product.— The product is, from the viewpoint of the mail users, significantly different from all products offered by the Postal Service within the 2-year period preceding the start of the test.
(2) Market disruption.— The introduction or continued offering of the product will not create an unfair or otherwise inappropriate competitive advantage for the Postal Service or any mailer, particularly in regard to small business concerns (as defined under subsection (h)).
(3) Correct categorization.— The Postal Service identifies the product, for the purpose of a test under this section, as either market-dominant or competitive, consistent with the criteria under section 3642 (b)(1). Costs and revenues attributable to a product identified as competitive shall be included in any determination under section 3633 (3) [1] (relating to provisions applicable to competitive products collectively). Any test that solely affects products currently classified as competitive, or which provides services ancillary to only competitive products, shall be presumed to be in the competitive product category without regard to whether a similar ancillary product exists for market-dominant products.
(c) Notice.—
(1) In general.— At least 30 days before initiating a market test under this section, the Postal Service shall file with the Postal Regulatory Commission and publish in the Federal Register a notice—
(A) setting out the basis for the Postal Service's determination that the market test is covered by this section; and
(2) Safeguards.— For a competitive experimental product, the provisions of section 504 (g) shall be available with respect to any information required to be filed under paragraph (1) to the same extent and in the same manner as in the case of any matter described in section 504 (g)(1). Nothing in paragraph (1) shall be considered to permit or require the publication of any information as to which confidential treatment is accorded under the preceding sentence (subject to the same exception as set forth in section 504 (g)(3)).
(d) Duration.—
(1) In general.— A market test of a product under this section may be conducted over a period of not to exceed 24 months.
(2) Extension authority.— If necessary in order to determine the feasibility or desirability of a product being tested under this section, the Postal Regulatory Commission may, upon written application of the Postal Service (filed not later than 60 days before the date as of which the testing of such product would otherwise be scheduled to terminate under paragraph (1)), extend the testing of such product for not to exceed an additional 12 months.
(e) Dollar-Amount Limitation.—
(1) In general.— A product may only be tested under this section if the total revenues that are anticipated, or in fact received, by the Postal Service from such product do not exceed $10,000,000 in any year, subject to paragraph (2) and subsection (g). In carrying out the preceding sentence, the Postal Regulatory Commission may limit the amount of revenues the Postal Service may obtain from any particular geographic market as necessary to prevent market disruption (as defined under subsection (b)(2)).
(2) Exemption authority.— The Postal Regulatory Commission may, upon written application of the Postal Service, exempt the market test from the limit in paragraph (1) if the total revenues that are anticipated, or in fact received, by the Postal Service from such product do not exceed $50,000,000 in any year, subject to subsection (g). In reviewing an application under this paragraph, the Postal Regulatory Commission shall approve such application if it determines that—
(f) Cancellation.— If the Postal Regulatory Commission at any time determines that a market test under this section fails, with respect to any particular product, to meet 1 or more of the requirements of this section, it may order the cancellation of the test involved or take such other action as it considers appropriate. A determination under this subsection shall be made in accordance with such procedures as the Commission shall by regulation prescribe.
(g) Adjustment for Inflation.— For purposes of each year following the year in which occurs the deadline for the Postal Service's first report to the Postal Regulatory Commission under section 3652 (a), each dollar amount contained in this section shall be adjusted by the change in the Consumer Price Index for such year (as determined under regulations of the Commission).
(h) Definition of a Small Business Concern.— The criteria used in defining small business concerns or otherwise categorizing business concerns as small business concerns shall, for purposes of this section, be established by the Postal Regulatory Commission in conformance with the requirements of section 3 of the Small Business Act.
(i) Effective Date.— Market tests under this subchapter may be conducted in any year beginning with the first year in which occurs the deadline for the Postal Service's first report to the Postal Regulatory Commission under section 3652 (a).

Hi all,
Long time, no see. Been working on some maps for upcoming BlackStar Studios adventures so haven't been around much. In the meantime, here's a simple map for an upcoming Twilight: 2000 game. It's mainly from Google Maps with some sprucing up, so I'm not claiming the work as my own...just posting it here in case anybody else can make use of it for their own campaigns. I just couldn't find any good maps that met my needs so I created this one.
BTW, for those interested, I'm using the revised T2K timeline. Been doing some research on non-military events of interest to help ground the players in the world and give them some perspective. The bombs fell Thanksgiving weekend 1997 (I'll say late on the evening of Saturday the 29th). There was concern leading up to that but it mostly got blown off due to many scares with no results. The actual bombing was more or less a surprise.
Following that some things that happened in our world would have never taken place, or would have happened quite differently. Here are a few examples:
Gaming: Quake was released in 1996. The N64 went on sale in the US in September, and was a big seller that Black Friday before the bombs fell. The last big game to be released in the US was Duke Nukem 3D (how ironic). Blizzard's StarCraft (1998 ) was never released...it sold 9.5 million units in our world.
Movies: The Fifth Element launched on May 9th, 1997 to a $17m opening weekend. Men in Black hit on July 2nd to a $51m opening weekend. James Cameron's Titanic was scheduled to open on December 19th...and it did, mainly in hopes of lifting low spirits. Much of the film's distribution had already taken place by the time the bombs fell but, apart from theaters in mid-sized cities (where there was less confusion), overall attendance was light. It only brought in an estimated $6m...most of which never made it back to the studio which created the film (since it died in the firestorms sweeping LA in early December). In our world, the film opened to $28.6m and ended up bringing in $600m in worldwide receipts. Saving Private Ryan, Armageddon, There's Something About Mary, Star Trek: Insurrection and a host of others scheduled for 1998 release never made it out.
Sports: The Summer Olympic Games took place between June and August of 1996. The Winter games in Nagano, Japan opened but with a severely reduced attendance and only about half of the athletes. Super Bowl XXXI did not take place at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. In our world it was to have been the Packers vs. the Patriots, but the play-offs never got that far in the T2K world.)
Television: South Park debuted on Comedy Central on August 13th and Fox News Channel celebrated its one-year anniversary in October. The series Charmed, Sex and the City, and many others never aired. The final episode of Seinfeld never aired.
Consumer Tech: The Intel Pentium II was introduced on May 7th, though Intel's Celeron processor never made it to store shelves. The first DVDs went on limited sale in the US in March with wider distribution later in the year. There were 55m cell phone subscribers in the US. Motorola's StarTAC, released in 1996, was the ultimate in designer phones in 1997. Radio Shack began selling Sprint PCS phones and might have made the technology a household item had not the bombs fallen. In our world, camera phones were first introduced in 2001. Cell phone subscribers in the US had reached 109m by 2000.
Other: Dolly, a sheep, was the first successfully cloned mammal on February 22nd, 1997. Timothy McVeigh was convicted and sentenced in the Oklahoma City bombing in June. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone released in the UK on June 30th. Mars Pathfinder landed on Mars on July 4th. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was never released in the US and never became a bestseller, though it was still popular in the UK and some parts of Europe. Further volumes were never released, though J.K. Rowling may have written some. The Dow Jones Industrial Average did not break 9,000 in April of 2008...in fact, trading had been suspended indefinitely by December of the previous year. The last recorded close was 1,534.

LAGUNA HILLS – What began as a love for baking and a passion for helping others turned into a full-time business for Suraya Iller. After selling her baked goods at local farmers markets for several years, she opened Loving Nutrition, a gluten-free, vegan bakery, in 2011.
Iller's husband Joseph works as a behavioral therapist for special-needs children, and he noticed his clients moving toward gluten- and dairy-free diets to help behavioral issues.
"I realized those kids didn't have anywhere to go if they wanted a cookie or a cake," Iller said. "I didn't want them to feel different from their friends."
Now in its new home inside Bread & More Bakery, across from the Laguna Hills Department of Motor Vehicles, Loving Nutrition has expanded its menu to offer vegan and "veggie meat" sandwiches. Also available are more than 30 gluten-free and vegan baked items, including breads, muffins, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pies and custom cakes.

Renewable energy and storage
Myriad motives and interests drive California debate
Energy storage is often hailed as the "holy grail" of the electric grid, but listening in on a California Energy Commission (CEC) workshop on the matter yesterday leads to several observations. This workshop was part of a CEC effort to gather input on the implications and potential implementations of energy storage in the state, for its Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) report on the topic, a somewhat parallel effort to one being explored by a proceeding opened by the California Public Utilities Commission on the topic.
Storage technologies and the business cases for them lie at the center of a tangled web composed of legislative directives, regulatory policies, specific grid applications, cost/benefit analyses, cost-effective alternatives, even basic philosophical views of the market—to name just a few strands in that web.
Today I'll merely try to set the stage for further coverage of this multi-faceted issue. "Multi-faceted" is such an understated qualifier that I might suggest that this "holy grail" could prove to be as elusive as its biblical namesake.
That few will be satisfied with my exegesis underscores my point. Nevertheless, into the breach!
California has legislated for itself a hefty renewable energy portfolio (33 percent by 2020) and, subsequently, an energy storage portfolio directive (AB 2514) that beginning this year requires the state's utilities to develop five-year plans for energy storage and to begin procurement in 2014. The idea is to find a way to take increasing amounts of inexpensive, off-peak, variable wind and solar energy and store it to relieve expensive, on-peak demand. That presumably would preclude the need for more fossil fuel-fired base load and peak generating units, saving capital and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
It appears that quite a variety of energy storage technologies can perform short-, medium and long-term storage, fulfilling various grid requirements from frequency regulation to renewable energy integration. Challenges arise over how to tailor a specific technology to a specific application in a cost-effective manner, while known, cost-effective alternatives remain in the toolkit.
Beyond the technical hurdles, many object that this approach ignores more cost-effective solutions, that costs and benefits cannot be properly allocated and that further tinkering with regulated markets only further delays the arrival of free market forces that would properly value everything about the grid and its commodity. Then there's the cost to ratepayers of pursuing renewable energy and the storage that could serve it. Not to mention a raft of unintended consequences.
I acknowledge that this is a somewhat brutally crafted summary, but let it serve to introduce aspects of yesterday's hearing that further illuminate the storage challenge.
The players who presented or participated in panels yesterday included utilities, vendors, federal and state policymakers, researchers, industry associations, industry research groups, attorneys, independent system operators (ISOs), system integrators and engineering firms, with a dash of citizen comments.
We're talking about the U.S. Department of Energy, the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Energy Commission, the California Independent System Operator, the University of California, the Electric Power Research Institute and the California Energy Storage Alliance, among others.
Those others included the state's largest utilities, such as Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric, San Diego Gas and Electric, Sacramento Municipal Utility District and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Most if not all of these utilities already have energy storage projects underway, at least in the demonstration phase.
But these lists and threads articulated above should give a sense of the disparity of interests, motives and viewpoints coming to bear on the storage issue.
Here are just a few of the questions that panelists sought to illuminate, if not answer:
- How can storage help the state achieve its RPS?
- How will storage help the state meet its self-imposed greenhouse gas emissions targets?
- What can be done to better define energy storage's role?
- What are cost estimates for energy storage?
- How can its benefits be quantified?
- How do utilities see the issue?
One citizen who commented on the record for this hearing had other questions:
- Why is California's current fleet of pumped-hydro plants, in excess of 3,000 megawatts, inadequate?
- How will subsidies for storage affect the availability of low-cost, off-peak energy for electric vehicles?
- What policy and wholesale market changes, other than subsidies, narrow the cost-value gap for storage?
And one citizen commenter merely called for more coal-fired base load generation and descried the cost that storage and renewable energy would impose on ratepayers.
And this is just the set-up, sans details of the hearing itself. Like an addled spider and its web, the threads are many, not particularly straightforward and the playing field is full of competing interests.
We'll do our best to unravel it, thread by thread, issue by issue, in coming months.
Phil Carson
Intelligent Utility Daily
Renewable energy and storage
April 29, 2011
Mr. Carson, Thank you for taking the time to summarize energy storage debate .
I have been following this debate in California since the Permanent Load Shifting Workshop #2 on 11/10/10 and as you say it lies "at the center of a tangled web"
We all know that whether a business is a retail store, such as Wal-Mart, or an electric utility, the consumer pays for everything. That fact should be a part of all cost alternates regardless of what side of the meter the storage is on. It is obvious, from the make-up of the panel, their questions and other comments that the focus is for energy storage on the utility side of the meter. Large commercial and industrial end-users should have representation along with the utility, government agencies, and lobbying groups participating in the discussions.
My expertise has been in the application of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) installed at the end-users site. In an effort to level the playing field, I would like to review the reasons why TES should be get more attention:
- TES reduces the stress on the grid and does not add to it.
- TES focuses on peak demand reduction and the shifting of energy use to non-peak hours where wind power is more available.
- The largest items that increase peak demand are air-conditioning and process cooling- both of which are excellent TES candidates.
- TES can be very competitive when designed for new and retrofit chilled water cooling plants.
- TES adds local jobs for A&E Firms, contractors and American equipment manufacturers.
- Overall greenhouse gas emissions are lower on TES applications than with wind power.
- The peak demand reduction is a permanent reduction as compared to the temporary reductions available from demand response programs.
- Utility incentives could be less than those presently being offered for demand response.
- TES can be varied to compliment the variations in wind and solar energies.
- TES is extremely reliable.
- TES systems can be designed to provide both permanent demand reduction and, when required, demand response.
- After the 30 to 40 year life expectancy, there will not be a hazard battery waste site for our grandchildren to clean up.
- TES is a proven technology that can provide demand reduction almost immediately.
There is no single right answer to the energy problem, and all options should be evaluated. End-users can play a significant role and are vital to the success of any energy or thermal energy storage system.
Lou Clark, Columbia, MD.
Cost Matters
I was at the workshop until the start of the first panel. The Chairman asked a couple of key questions. One Phil mentioned was whether and how storage might be in conflict with other policy priorities like demand response. Another was whether the problem was whether getting the cost of storage down was a matter of technology (yes according to one respondent) or production economies of scale (no). If that's borne out, then subsidies and set-asides to build storage will be good for the manufacturers and a bad deal for consumers.
I agree with Phil's thesis that storage has its place, especially at the right price. The presence or absence of renewable energy is largely irrelevant. However those applications are few in number and represent small volumes at the moment.
Jack Ellis, Tahoe City, CA
Renewable Energy and Storage
Mr. Carson, some of the concepts sound great but lets face it, it's just wishul thinking. Calionia does not move quickly.
I participated in listen only mode and agree that the over tone was just how to assign a value to the benefits of storage; there is no denying that storage, at all levels will help create a truly smart grid but just what is the cost of that service?
As in any supply and demand business, having a inventory available thru storage or warehousing of product makes or breaks a business. Imagine if a gas station didn't have adequate product on hand when demand was up; they'd go broke.
Now think about all the future renewable energy hubs that will be built to get the country away from fossil fuels and emissions; storage is an absolute necessity to turn that product into a firm, dispatchable resource. The down side is storage will remove the need for building more natural gas peakers for load following, frequency control, etc. The cost of using gas for variable energy integration has been modeled; the cost of extra capacity noted, and the cost of transmission buildup necessary to integrate wind. There is a baseline to apply a value for the benefits at least on a large scale. (Compressed air and pumped storage) but at the distribution side things are still muddled.
Storage is the "black swan " and without it the US will not reach grid parity. However it will change the grid as we know it.
How money is made in solar energy
'Then there's the cost to ratepayers of pursuing renewable energy and the storage that could serve it. "
Albuquerque Journal report Michael Hartranft article is summarized
- 30,000 solar panels
- two megawatts
- enough power to supply 640 homes
- first of five pnm solar plants
- four additional utility-scale solar pojrects
- Los Lunas, Alamagordo, Deming, Las Vegas
- each will have a five megawatt capaciity
- generate about 51 million kilowatt hours
- cost about $191,7 million
- enough power for about 7,000 homes
Here are the computations
2,000,000 watts takes 30,000 solar panels
5,000,000 watts each at four additional plants for total of 20,000,000 wattsIf both are correct, 300,000 solar panels are at least required for the additional 4 installations?

From actual experience, wind farms produce 1.2 watts per square meter. Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic methods capture 5 to 6 watts per square meter. There is no economy of size in either technology. Dividing the watts you need by those values gives the land area in square meters needed to produce the juice. The numbers are astronomical

Talk:Naruto Uzumaki's Relationships
Back to page
this wiki
|Archive 1
"Shipping" Page
I see Ultimite3 still hasn't change this "shipping page" or allow anyone else to post a more neutral position. Since no one willing to talk about the Elephant in the room I will, This is nothing but a Shipping page in disgiuse! There is no clear evidence on what character Kishimoto is going to pair off to another character in the series. Heck, Kishimoto still has Karin in love with Sasuke even after he trie to kill her. Both the Sakura and Hinata subsections need to be rewritten, the Sakura section more than the Hinata one. Statements like "Naruto "had" a long standing crush" and "never going to happen" are unsupported by any actual facts. The synopsis for Naruto Shippuden episode 235 in the Sakura section is a complete fraud. It is not a debate on wether or not anime is canon but the fact that it's statement that Naruto no longer loves Sakura and only wants her to be happy with Sasuke is a Lie! The following is an actual exerpt from that Episode.
"Naruto" I mean, I don't know anything about marriage and stuff, but don't you have to love someone and be attracted to each other? "Shizuki" That's "Naruto" I have a girl I love named Sakura. Well actually, its one-sided on my part. Sakura is totally in love a guy named Sasuke. She tries so hard, chasing after him and trying to win his love. When she's at it, her smile is the cutest thing. There no explaining it. Before I realizes it, I was in love with her. I would never try to force her to love me. I'd be no different that guy just now if I did. So I made up my mind. In the same way that Sakura tries so hard to win Sasuke over, I'm going to do my best to win Sakura over.
Does this sound like Naruto just wants to be friends with Sakura? Nope, it does not. To address the comments by Michma12, Kishimoto's comments in the interview on Road to Ninja refer to the Mirrorverse version of Naruto characters not about the plot or any Naruto/Sakura moments. The ninth Naruto "Road to Ninja" movie does count as canon for the following reasons, The tie-in anime episode Road to Sakura. Both Naruto anime series are an expansion of canon not against it, at least in this anime series. There is also the special Zero issue of the actual manga that is a prequel to the movie. Thus making it's content's like Naruto still in love with Sakura canon. Also the controversy about Kushina's last words was about the fact there are three different versions of the second to last line of her last words. In the American manga release it states "don't fall for the first girl that comes your way" meaning pro-Hinata but in the actual Manga version it states a "weird one" instead, meaning pro-Sakura and the anime version simply states "a bad one" which is neutral. In Japanesse bad is Warui, weird is Kikai, and first is Saisho Hajime or Ichiban. Since the American version is highly rewritten by Viz Media the US version is very much in doubt given it's polciy of changing what is original written by Kishimoto. It was also pointed out to you, Michma12 on your talkpage months before by some else. Please don't try to pass off your personal opinions as facts.
Masashi Kishimoto really needs to settle the pairing debate soon. Zombie armies and giant monster brawels are all good but the whole Sasuke/Sakura/Naruto/Hinata love quadrangle and all it's branches has to resolved before the arguements between fans make fandom anymore toxic, It's driving all freaking nuts! --BrennanMulcahey (talk) 09:53, November 23, 2012 (UTC)User:BrennanMulcahey
BrennanMulcahey, you truly are an idiot aren't you? Did you know that there are two versions of that anime episode? One with what you said happened and another where the words say that he knows it's one sided but is happy so long as she's happy. However, one was taken down do to controversial reasons. If Naruto didn't say these words in the manga, they aren't canon. As much as you want it to be, bitch and moan as loud as you can, it isn't canon. Naruto has shown deep feelings for Sakura, yes I'll agree, but to what extent hasn't been fully elaborated or confirmed. In Sai's opinion he thinks Naruto is in love with Sakura, but realizes it may not be to the extent he thought it was. But that means squat when the girl doesn't have the same feelings for him and is in love with a guy she'll most likely still be in love with even if he's dead, an example being Tsunade and Dan.
Though I will agree that the Sakura and Hinata things should be revised later on. However, despite Hinata's lack of screen time, several of those moments, unlike Sakura, portrays about their relationship. That isn't to say that Sakura's relationship isn't important either, just that certain moments are repetition and whatnot, and are later seen as irrelevant when new occurrences occur that contradict those moments. Same with Hinata.
Theres also the fact that movies and filler episodes aren't canon to the manga storyline, the manga part for Road to Ninja was nothing more than a way to advertise the movie. Kishimoto stated that some elements from filler inspire him but nothing more. Also like I said before, when elements from the anime clash with the manga we go with the manga version instead. Kishimoto stated it was fun to make, but was still not canon! Also Kushina's words were this "Try not to fall for a weird one... try to find someone like your mother." And Minato was laughing/smiling in the next scene because it was humorous. Why? Because he knows that Kushina was a weird girl when she was younger. Can you honestly say that Kushina was a normal kid or teenager? I don't think so. You also need to realize that certain love/crush moments Naruto had for Sakura were flashbacks to way back to close to early middle of Shippuden. It is possible they changed. Give hard evidence and I'll accept it. Till then stop being a big baby and grow up.--Michma12 (talk) 21:49, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
Honestly I think you're both over thinking this. Certainly opinions on Sakura or Hinata in terms of their relationship with Naruto are going to be confused and jaded from fan perspectives, making writing a totally unbiased article about it difficult. Similarly so since we don't know what resolution Kishimoto is intending. I'm still pissed at the guy for Naruto running out on Hinata's confession, but that's just me. This however, is not the point. You're addressing only two characters on a list with over a dozen people on it. Bitch about shipping all you want, but this page is about Naruto's relationships with other important characters, not just his romantic ones, but his teachers, his parents, his friends, his rivals and even his enemies and since this isn't Fanfiction.net, I can assure you the romantic value of each one only bares mentioning in Sakura and Hinata's cases. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 23:24, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
Adding info. on Sakura's Haruno part from movie: Road to Ninja
Hello, I'm new here, and I really like Naruto x Hinata. Although, I think it's kind of necessary to add information of the relationship between Naruto and Sakura in the Road to Ninja movie (once it's subbed over the internet), since the story plot was directed by Kishimoto, no? What do you guys think? --*MsIsamisa (talk) 14:09, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
I dunno, if ot was truly directed by Kishimoto, since he draw sketches about Fuu and Roshi, applying that they will be in the movie too, but in the end they weren't. Also, Kishimoto didn't confirmed it canon or took it into the timeline of the manga. He draw a special one shot, but Kubo did also for the fourth Bleach movie too, which also was "directed" by Kubo, yet didn't confrimed as canon or took into the timeline of the manga. But since people considering non-canon anime fillers as canon too, I think you can. —This unsigned comment was made by Mangekyo22 (talk • contribs) .
Actually movies are considered non-canon and are therefore irrelevant. Kishimoto stated the film to be a fun project nothing more and nothing less. Also theres little relationship between them than what has already been shown in the past. So no its not needed. —This unsigned comment was made by Michma12 (talk • contribs) .
Speaking of non-canon, as of right now, I believe the anime filler part in Sakura's section is totally irrelevant to the entire canonical flow. I propose that it should be removed. KazeKitsune (talk) 03:00, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Still waiting for the answer... KazeKitsune (talk) 15:11, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
Frog teacher, plus tenten and shino
By the way you might want to add his senjustu mentor, tenten and shino to his relationships page. Just a thought, but what do you think? Justin Holland (talk) 21:46, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Not only that, also Inari and Tazuna. KazeKitsune (talk) 23:43, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
Relationships pages for main and supporting characters?
Reply: Okay, that I get, but then how about a mini relationships section in the character pages, just to help sort out their personality sections? Because it seems that they could use some offloading themselves, plus it make certain parts hard to keep track. How about it? Justin Holland (talk) 21:49, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
- None of them have enough relations to have a different section/page.~ UltimateSupreme 02:28, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
Maybe we can add some quotes in order to further explain the characters feelings towards Naruto? Justin Holland (talk) 05:34, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
Relationship with Mentors: Killer Bee
Just a thought, but shouldn't we also list Killer Bee under the Mentors Relationship section? He did say that he was now Naruto's teacher in Chapter 495 and even before that, Naruto asked him to teach him how to control the Bijuu in Chapter 492 --Littlemissdoodle (talk) 00:10, May 21, 2013 (UTC)
- Well he is more a mentor than Ebisu at the least. — SimAnt 02:57, May 21, 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed. Ebisu is more properly classified as an ally rather than a mentor since he only served to clarify and supervise Naruto's chakra control for a few hours tops See Chapter 90. Negligible, I'd say. Jiraiya even said that the method wasn't the smartest way to handle Naruto's insane amount of chakra in Chapter 92. Rather than a mentor, Ebisu is just a character to represent the people in Konoha, the way they regard Naruto and such. Going back to the sectioning of Killer Bee, perhaps the original intent is for Bee to be filed under the subsection on the Jinchuuriki & the Bijuu? But, well there was hardly any interaction between Naruto and the Ichibi(Shukaku) to begin with. Naruto's encounter with the Yonbi(Son Goku) was more significant in that respect. Maybe move Killer Bee up (Mentors), take Gaara out (Ally) and create a subsection on purely Bijuu?--Littlemissdoodle (talk) 07:53, May 21, 2013 (UTC)
No links. Linking to scanlations is technically illegal. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:07, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- The tailed beast and jinchuuriki sections do seem like they should be removed. — SimAnt 23:35, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
Enemy section: Ten-tails?
Is it possible to list the Ten-tails as an enemy of Naruto's? Justin Holland (talk) 21:42, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
- Naruto has no actual relationship with the Ten-Tails. Hell nothing does, it is a mass of pissed off evil that happens to be standing in front of him.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 21:50, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
If the latest chapters are any indication (not that there ever was to the contrary) Naruto still loves Sakura. I'll do some editing but first I want to get it out of the way that A) I am not at all interested in the shipping war and B) it's not the purpose of a wikipedia to judge based on opinion but on facts. The facts are Naruto has feelings for Sakura. There is nothing to suggest the contrary. Therefore the past tense in which Naruto's feelings for Sakura are referred to are incorrect. Does anyone here have anything to add? And please spare me when it comes to the shipping wars, I don't care, Kishimoto probably doesn't care, so let's just do right by the purpose of this wiki page. Thank you.--Reliops (talk) 23:04, May 29, 2013 (UTC)Reliops
- There was nothing that suggested he does either. Beyond that, everything is supposed to be in past tense. Everything.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 23:10, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
It's been noted several times Naruto loves her. That's he has feelings for her has been evident and established since day one. That he no longer has those feelings isn't. My bad on the past tense part. I haven't updated anything yet though. Thanks for the quick response.--Reliops (talk) 23:26, May 29, 2013 (UTC)Reliops
I was wondering if somebody could put a photo of Kakashi. I think the perfect pic would be when Kakashi states to Obito that he would protect Naruto 188.8.131.52 (talk) 11:07, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
Should we add a paragraph about Naruto's realtionship with Utakata, despite it being in an anime-only arc? Because I think that it's a good example of the relationships Naruto has with other jinchūriki.--JOA20 (talk) 20:07, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

PHOENIX — Heavy storms blew through parts of the Phoenix area Tuesday, closing Interstate 17 in a river of mud and trapping motorists, as authorities responded to multiple water rescue scenes involving stuck drivers elsewhere.
All lanes of the major interstate had reopened Tuesday afternoon, but a flash-flood warning for Maricopa County — first issued early Tuesday morning — was extended to 10:45 p.m. local time, according to the National Weather Service.
Meteorologists say the heaviest of the storms have now passed.
Earlier, residents of Black Canyon City, north of Phoenix, were put on standby for evacuations from rising waters. A mandatory evacuation order was issued for the River's Edge Trailer Park by 11 a.m. and students from New River Elementary School were also evacuated late Tuesday afternoon as a precaution, in part because school officials did not want school buses to cross flooded areas.
Rock slides were also reported in the area, according to Yavapai County officials.

The rains, flooding and debris forced authorities to close or restrict traffic on nearly two dozen roadways in Maricopa County on Tuesday morning.
Tim Tait, an Arizona Department of Transportation spokesman, said there is a threat that additional rainfall could cause more problems on the roadways in the next few days.
"The best thing we can do is to monitor conditions and close roads in advance from flood waters," he said Tuesday. "Waters moved so quickly today that we had to scramble resources and personnel into place."
No vehicles were reported stuck on the highways on Tuesday, he said, and there were no reported injuries.
"Drivers did the responsible and right thing, they stopped and moved to the inside lanes to avoid the water as much as possible," he said.
The situation looked dire at 9:45 a.m. Tuesday as water started flooding down the northbound lanes of Interstate 17 north of Phoenix, reducing traffic to at least one lane. The water forced ADOT to close I-17 at Happy Valley Road at about 10:15 a.m. and though southbound lanes were reopened by 11:15 a.m., restrictions remained in place in the flooded northbound lanes.
The flooding prompted Central Arizona Project officials to alert cities to possible turbidity in the water, according to a CAP spokesman, which could require additional treatment at plants.
"There is no threat to the public from their drinking water," said Bob Barrett, a CAP spokesman. "Everybody is safe."
About 3 inches of rain fell in a watershed in the area and rushed over the banks of Skunk Creek, said Joe Munoz, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Flood Control District.
Construction crews also were working in the area and had prepared a small berm meant to divert water, Munoz said, but the berm failed.
"There's just a massive amount of water coming," he said. "Three inches of rain in the watershed is huge."
The rain from the morning forced emergency crews to respond to calls for water rescues throughout the day.
Video footage showed a minivan on one road that was submerged up to its windows. Emergency crews struggling against the current made their way to the vehicle and pulled the motorist to safety.
