Does not stop rug from slipping at all! I purchased an indoor/outdoor (5X8) for my kitchen, and paid the extra $@# for the recommended non-slip pad. The rug and pad has been on the floor for a few weeks now, and the rug just slides right over the non-slip pad. A waste of money. I will replace the pad with the same pad that I used for the same rug in two other rooms (same floor type), and these rugs do NOT slip.

Does the trick! This is a good all around rug pad and fit well with a rug I recently ordered on Overstock. I have found this type of pad works well with smaller area rugs and there is no need to buy expensive rug pads as you might do for a large area rug. This is a good quality pad and does the trick to keep rugs without non-skid backings from slipping. It takes minimal effort to cut it to fit the rug size and then to lay the rug over it. It does not slip under the rug when I move it out of the way to vacuum.

Ordered before and was pleased
It was the right size
want to make sure my rug doesn't slip under the coffee table
Recommended by Overstock
I ordered a Savavieh rug which came today. I realized I needed a rug pad as well. The price was right and the reviews were good.
To place under the rug for non skid
appropriate size for my use and good price.
price and brand
Need rug pads at an inexpensive price
to compliment my new rugs
It was the closest size I could find for the rug I am ordering.
I bought this to cut in half and use under the 12 foot jute runner I just ordered since you don't offer any cut specifically for the 12 foot runner. No big deal to cut in half. I bought a large 9x12 rug pad from you to line 4 different size runners I purchased previously from overstock.
to put under rug
needed it, recommended
The description states this rug pad is safe for all floor types. Is this product suitable for use on vinyl? I just installed vinyl plank flooring and purchased several area rugs from Overstock. Is this pad OK to use on vinyl plank?
Hello anirishlassie, this rug pad is safe for use on vinyl plank flooring. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
Can this be used on an outside covered but open concrete patio floor and is a rug pad really necessary outside?
I think it can as long as it won't get too wet. If your rug slips or moves around when you walk on it, it will definitely benefit from this rug pad.
I wouldn't use this outside in a humid or wet environment.

MT. MORRIS, Pa. (June 11) — GEICO Honda Lites rider Eli Tomac found a quick way around a muddy High Point Raceway in Moto 2 to secure an overall third-place result at Saturday's Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motorcycle Championship series stop in southwest Pennsylvania.
Tomac improved from sixth place in Moto 1 to a third-place finish in Moto 2, the best outing of the four GEICO riders in attendance. Kevin Windham went 6-5 in his two motos for a sixth-place overall ranking in 450cc competition. Justin Barcia was 8-7 for sixth overall in Lites, while fill-in rider Lance Vincent went 19-27 for 20th, also in Lites.
It took a breadth of riding ability to make it through the day as the first motos in both classes took place on a dusty and dry course. Then an intense but short afternoon rain shower soaked the facility and made the second round of motos a muddy battle of survival.
"It went from hard-packed and kind of slick in the first moto to muddy and really slick in the second moto, but I've always been good in the mud so it worked out," Tomac said. "It kind of came to me. Some guys struggle when it's wet but I like it.
"It's nice to get on the podium. I definitely want to be on top of the podium but we're not quite there yet. Hopefully the trend we started in Supercross will start in Motocross because once I found the podium over there I was on it every race."
Filling in for the injured Trey Canard on the American Honda Racing team, GEICO legend Windham had a solid day on his CRF450R. But the veteran rider was expecting more.
"I felt like I'd be well on my way by this point in the season so I'm a little bit frustrated," WIndham said. "It's the winner's instinct in me that just makes me want to come out here and win these things. If you've ever won before you know how addicting it can be. It's why we do this and what keeps us coming back for more even when we don't do so well.
"To hear all the cheers and feel the fan support is awesome. It's great for Honda and GEICO as well as for me. I have had a lot of success at High Point and although we couldn't capitalize on it today I still love this track and all the great fans."
Barcia, who has been fighting through a viral infection over the past few days, admits he got tired during his two motos.
"I was struggling," Barcia said. "I went out there and did my best but unfortunately my best wasn't good enough today.
"I don't usually feel like this and it really bummed me out. I have a bit of a bug so I haven't been feeling my best and I really think it got to me today. I just need to go home, get some rest, and go to the doctors so we can figure out exactly what's going on."
Up next on the AMA Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship schedule is Saturday's Budds Creek National in Mechanicsville, Md.

Searching and the Helpdesk
Lost in the maze of information? There are two routes to finding help:
Use the search engine at the top of a page or on our homepage to search the Gemini web pages. If you are having problems specifically with the Gemini data reduction software, please look at the Data Reduction Support page. You may also want to look at the user supported Gemini Data Reduction User Forum. | |
Contact Gemini Observatory and National Gemini Office support staff (see below) by submitting your request for information to the HelpDesk (opened in a new browser window). For more information on what happens next (the workflow), how to update request details and how to re-open a 'resolved' request, please see HelpDesk follow-up. Note there is no longer a Helpdesk interface categorized by Program ID. | |
The Gemini HelpDesk is the primary means by which individuals can make requests for information to the support staff. The support staff are distributed throughout the Gemini partnership: at the Gemini Observatory, within National Gemini Offices and elsewhere. The HelpDesk system takes care of routing, tracking, escalation and aids in the resolution of requests. You can track the status of your query via the HelpDesk and will be e-mailed when work is done on your request.
In broad terms, the division of responsibilities between Gemini staff and the National Offices is:
- National Offices
- Pre-observation (Phase I proposal and Phase II observation definition) and post-observation (data processing) off-site support.
- First point of contact for user requests, which can be distributed to a wider support network and/or escalated to other National Offices or Gemini staff if necessary (see HelpDesk structure for more details).
- Gemini
- Observation execution and on-site support (e.g. via Contact Scientists).
- Expert support for user requests.
Note that topics such as observing techniques and strategy are best sent direct to your NGO, and not submitted via the Helpdesk.
You should normally receive acknowledgment of your request within two working days. This will normally come from your NGO; if they are unable to resolve the issue it will be escalated, depending upon the type of issue, either to an instrument specialist in another NGO or to staff at the Observatory.
The handover of responsibility, from the National Offices to Gemini, for direct communication with queue and classical applicants occurs upon acceptance of their detailed Phase II programme into the Active Observing Database (see a description of the Phase II process for more details).
See the contents list for further information about how the HelpDesk is structured, who is responsible for responding to your request and to learn more about the HelpDesk system itself.
There is also a copy of the paper (240kB; Gemini preprint #56; Chan & Puxley 2000, SPIE, 4010, 72) and powerpoint presentation (360kB) from SPIE ( Munich 2000) describing the HelpDesk.

Blend the musical talents of Micheal Jackson, the "bite my ass" attitude of Madonna and the "watch me piss off a bunch of parents" on stage persona of Marilyn Manson and you get Lady Gaga.
Throw in a few bad ass bikers and spend a vulgar amount of money and you have the music video for Judas.
If you can believe her twitter, Gaga says the video cost $10 million dollars and has more cameos than any music video in history.
What the hell? Pardon our skepticism , but there's nobody in our industry that commands a huge appearance fee, at least not anymore. I'm sure she could've gotten almost any custom bike builder to show up for free if she asked nicely.
If the figure is true Judas would top Micheal Jackson's video "Scream" which cost 7 million, with $53,000 of that going to breaking guitars. Maybe Gaga trashed a few hundred motorcycles in the video. As for the plot, according to MSNBC. Gaga said "I play Mary Magdalene leading them into the town where we meet Jesus and I will leave the rest for you to see. But it's meant more to celebrate faith than it is to challenge it."
Gaga tweeted (correction* it was rumored) that she has 30,000 motorcyclists appearing in the video. What? Did she buy them all a new Sportster? Maybe she's becoming the Oprah of the music video world. "Ok everyone guess what? Just for showing up for my video I'm giving you all a new motorcycle!" Lady Gaga the generous. That's a LOL moment if there ever was one. Somehow I doubt she even shared her stash with the great unwashed nation but we weren't invited so we can't really say.
The 25-year-old entertainer directed the video with her creative director,Laurieann Gibson and it's scheduled to debut tonight on E! at 7pm and 11pm.

Command & Coordination Centre
The Command and Coordination Centre (CCC) is the operations room at INTERPOL, offering a point of contact for any member country seeking urgent police information or facing a crisis situation.
The CCC is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by staff members of various backgrounds and nationalities who are fluent in several different languages.
Based at the General Secretariat in Lyon, the CCC is reinforcing its global response with the opening of new sites. In 2011, a second CCC site opened at the INTERPOL Regional Bureau in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and will be followed in the future by a third site in Singapore.
Services and activities
The CCC strengthens the reactivity and operational effectiveness of the world's police through the following functions:
- Assessing all incoming communications and determining the priority level of each message received by the General Secretariat.
- Conducting instant checks on all INTERPOL databases; distributing and assigning information; and replying to all urgent queries immediately.
- Monitoring open sources in order to assess threats and to ensure the full resources of the Organization are ready and available whenever and wherever they may be needed.
- Coordinating the exchange of intelligence and information for important operations, and involving specialist units, regional offices and external partners as necessary.
- Issuing alerts and publishing Notices where threats pose an imminent danger. These include Orange Notices to warn police and/or the public about potential threats, and Purple Notices, used to seek or provide information on modi operandi.
- Assuming a crisis-management role during serious incidents, such as terrorist attacks, and coordinating specialized assistance in the form of an Incident Response Team. This brings together experts in various fields, such as forensic science, DNA, drugs, and so on.
- Deploying support teams at major events with an international implication in order to support national police with security arrangements.

I have been racing with shimano r-315's (custom molded) for 2 years now. When I received the northwave shoes i was blown away. First of all it comes in a leather box that looks like its carrying the queens crown jewels. The shoes look great. The construction is refined and sturdy like Shimano but much more fancy and Cipo-esque. The comfort and fit is unbelievable!!!! Size down from shimano im 43.5 reg/ 43wide shimano and northwave fit me perfectly at 42.5!!!!

NfinityBioniQ is designed 100% for the female athlete. The supportive and naturally aligning midsole features sequenced cushioning to keep the foot in an ergonomic performance enhancing position. BioniQ addresses the typically more pronounced Q-Angle in females.
The Q-angle is the alignment between the hip and knee joints. Compared to males, females have Q-angles that are 5-7 degrees greater, on average. In addition, scientific research on jumping, cutting and change of direction movements has shown that female athletes tend to land with greater knee valgus (knock kneed) and a more upright posture possibly subjecting undue stress on the knees, particularly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The larger Q-angle and knee valgus have been cited as potential risk factors likely predisposing female athletes to ACL injuries at a rate 2-8 times higher compared to male athletes competing in the same sports.
QChannel & QPlate - is a system designed to help center the foot as it transitions from heel to toe

Top Definition
During anal sex the guy makes the girl lay on her shoulders with her ass in the air and proceeds to shove his balls inside of her asshole while at the same time he puts his dick in her pussy. Thus resulting in a double penetration with his dick and balls.
Think of an electrical socket and an electric plug going into it.

Evening all, hope alls well.
Suffering from group fatigue tonight, seems to be same old same old and our numbers are dwindling rapidly. The guy who started the group still holds the reigns and wont let go. He's a real nice guy who helps lots of people but he's in danger of making the group his entire lifes work. I've only been a member since last October and don't want to change groups again so soon but i'm giving it some serious thought.
Any experience on this subject would be welcome.

Sign in to your Admin console
As a Google Apps administrator, you use the Google Admin console to manage your organization's account, such as add new users, manage security settings, and turn on Google services you want your team to access.
If you signed up your business, school, or government agency for a Google for Work account, or if your account administrator gave you special privileges, you can sign in to your Google Admin console to manage the account settings.
Detailed steps:
- In any web browser, go to admin.google.com.
- On the sign-in page, enter your Google administrator address and password. Forgot your password?
- Click Sign in.
If another screen appears asking for your email address and password, just enter this information again.
Arrive at the Admin console dashboard
After you sign in, you go to your Admin console dashboard. Here, you'll find controls for managing your team's Google user accounts and services. If you don't see dashboard controls but instead see your list of apps, it means you don't have administrator privileges. If this doesn't seem right, ask another Google administrator to give you these privileges. For details, see Grant administrator privileges.
Find your own apps in the grid
Once you're signed in to your Admin console, you can find your own Gmail inbox and services by opening the grid at the top of the console and choosing the service. Get back to the console afterwards by choosing Admin from the grid (to see the Admin control, you might have to click More).
If your company is using a Single-Sign-On (SSO) service with your Google account, then signing in to your account from admin.google.com sends you to a second sign-in page. From here, you'll sign in not just to your Admin console, but to other programs or services your company has set up with SSO (so you don't have to sign in to each one separately). Just enter the sign-in name and password your administrator gave you.
Here's a shortcut! Next time you go to admin.google.com to sign in to your console, you can skip entering your password on the Google sign-in page (just enter your sign-in name). You'll still be taken to the SSO sign in page and should enter both your name and password there.
For details, see Signing in with SSO.
Remember that to sign in from admin.google.com, you must:
- Use your organization's Google Apps address (not an address that ends in gmail.com).
- Have administrator privileges (in order to see your organization's Admin console).
If you forgot your password, see Reset your administrator password. If you're still having trouble signing in, see Can't access the Admin console.
Have other Google accounts? If you have other Google accounts that have different names and passwords, you can make it easy to switch between accounts on the same computer without signing in each time. For details, see Sign in to multiple accounts.

MONTEREY, Calif. – Maj. Gen. Adel Youssef Mahmoud El Sherif, commandant of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense Language Institute, met with staff and students from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center during a two-day visit, May 30 and 31.
Sherif witnessed a demonstration of the latest technology being used in the classrooms, observed language immersions in progress, and had the chance to meet with a group of Foreign Area Officers studying Arabic.
During his discussions with the students and staff about the importance of learning a language and military linguists, Sherif repeated an Egyptian military saying, "a negotiator without a language is like a warrior without a weapon."
He also stressed the importance of culture as part of the language learning process by saying, "He who speaks the language learns the culture; he who learns the culture becomes friends; and he who becomes friends lives in peace."
In Sherif's final thought to the group of FAOs, he explained that even though Egyptian culture is completely different [from American culture], "if you respect their culture, they will respect you."
During previous visits to DLIFLC, Maj. Gen. Sherif took ideas from the testing department and recently developed an exam to help his Egyptian students pass the English test required for foreign military officers to come to the U.S. to study.
In addition, Egypt's MODLI has adapted a lot of lessons learned over the years from Sherif's interactions with DLIFLC and language schools in other countries. His institute has numerous personal computers set up for distance learning and his students are accepting the technology as fast as it is being introduced.
Col. Danial D. Pick, commandant of DLIFLC, welcomed the dialogue and stated, "We're always looking to exchange ideas, and learn from our colleagues and our partners."
Sherif's feelings towards DLIFLC were best summed up with his comment to Pick, "What I have seen today, you have to be very proud of your program."

The Killers Concert Tickets |
The Killers Release Battle Born The Killers tour dates are on sale now to hear new material from their latest album Battle Born! Catch them in their latest videos by Werner Herzog and Tim Burton and see them live with The Killers tickets from Ticket Liquidator! Fun Fact: The Band took their name from a New Order video known as Crystal. About The KillersIn 2002, Brandon Flowers, the future vocalist of The Killers, was abandoned by the first band that he was in known as Blush Response after he declined to move with the rest of them to Los Angeles. After he was ditched, Flowers later responded to future The Killers' guitarist David Keuning's ad in the Las Vegas Weekly about forming a band which was inspired by The Cure or The Beatles. They later went through some bass guitarists and drummers until they found Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci to fill the posts. Among modern bands with similar influences to The Killers are Snow Patrol, The Strokes, and Coldplay. The great thing about music is that, though bands may have the same influences they often create totally different sounds, as is certainly the case here. Before they had become a band, all four of them had various jobs: Brandon Flowers was a bellhop at the Gold Coast Hotel; David Keuning, who was originally from Iowa, worked at a Banana Republic store, at which he was rumored to have many trysts with some female customers in the dressing room; Mark Stoermer worked as a medical courier delivering various medical supplies—blood, urine, and body parts; Ronnie Vannucci was a student of classical percussion at UNLV and worked as a photographer at the Little Chapel of Flowers—where Britney Spears was temporarily hitched. Their band name The Killers was taken from a New Order video titled Crystal. It was featured on the drums of a mock band in the video. Word about The Killers spread across the Atlantic Ocean to the U.K where a London-based indie record label known as Lizard King caught their attention. They later signed up with them, and in the future, with Island RecordsThe band had also encountered various difficulties in reaching. The Killers band was shook by and earthquake during the recording of their song "Believe Me Natalie" at Lizard King, which drove drummer Ronnie Vannucci from his stool. They encountered fires in Simi Valley in order to record their song "Change Your Mind" in the American version of their single Hot Fuss and they thought they were going to die when their private jet hit an air pocket in December 2003 when flying to the U.K.The band has first known when they released their first album Hot Fuss in 2004 on Island Records with their first single "Somebody Told Me", released on that same year. When The Killers laid Mr. Brightside, on the Alt Rock public, everyone wanted to be part of The Killers' scene. Brightside sounded somewhat like Bowie's Queen Bitch and the effect wasn't lost on Killers fans, who themselves were likely to be keen followers of the glam rock 70s legend. The band had a chart sucess with their single "Mr.Brightside" and have also released an upcoming single titled "All These Things I've Done". The Killers tickets will show you a good time, and a Killers show must not be missed if you like watching modern, intelligent musicians perform complex powerful rock music. The Killers tickets are here for you, right now. Don't miss this killer show! |

text: Honey-voiced Eddi Reader has been around several blocks, musically speaking. A native of Glasgow, she has been well known and loved in Britain for years. Oddly enough, Reader jumped right into her performing career in the early '80s by traveling throughout Europe with a circus troupe. Shortly after, she decided to settle in London and become a session vocalist. Her choice proved fruitful as her book soon filled up and she landed work with the Eurythmics, the Waterboys, and Gang of Four. None seemed like the right setting for Reader. Then she found her place in the spotlight with Fairground Attraction. The band's debut, First of a Million Kisses, hit the British charts in 1988, along with the single "Perfect." Reader gained a good bit of recognition, both critical and popular, and was able to launch her solo career from that platform, although it did not happen immediately. Her solo debut, Mirmama, saw daylight in 1992 and found Reader's lovely pipes wrapped around some fine tunes. Although it was a limited release, it caught the ear of the folks at Warner Brothers, who followed it in 1994 with her self-titled album. This second effort included more Reader originals amid the slick production. Despite touring in its support, she still managed to contribute to recordings by Thomas Dolby, Liberty Horses, and others. When things didn't pan out with her major label, Reader returned to her independent roots and issued Candyfloss and Medicine in 1996 and Angels & Electricity in 1999 through Blanco y Negro, all the while perfecting her brand of smooth acoustic folk-pop. Finding herself with yet another musical home, Compass Records re-released both Mirmama and Angels & Electricity in the United States and allowed Reader the chance to put forth her most organic offering to date with Simple Soul in 2001. Seventeen Stories: The Best of Eddi Reader and the all-new Driftwood arrived in 2002, followed by Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns in 2003 and Peacetime in 2007. ~ Kelly McCartney, Rovi

CHARACTER Hossan Ramzy | |
Appearance(s): | Grand Theft Auto IV |
Full name: | Hossan Ramzy |
Status: | Alive |
Gender: | Male |
Date of birth: | 1968 |
Place of birth: | Egypt |
Home: | Algonquin |
Nationality: | Egyptian |
Main affiliation: | Niko Bellic |
Voiced by: | Sean Krishnan |
- "Ahh, we all do dumb things...That's what makes us human."
- — Hossan Ramzy to Niko Bellic.
Hossan Ramzy (Arabic: حسن رمزي) is an Egyptian merchant seaman, Niko Bellic's former shipmate and friend from the Platypus in Grand Theft Auto IV. In the game's introduction, he expresses a desire to "make a go of it" and enter the United States to live the American Dream. In an e-mail, Hossan says that he has jumped ship in Florida, and expects to reside there; but in reality, he still resides in Liberty City.
[show]Random charactersEdit
Niko meets up with Hossan in a Random characters in western Algonquin, where he works as a street vendor selling counterfeit purses and bags. During this encounter, he and Niko pursue and kill a man who refused to pay Hossan for his work due to his status as an immigrant.
LCPD Database recordEdit
Mission AppearancesEdit
- Hossan's e-mail address is email@example.com.
- Hossan claims in his e-mail that he jumped ship in Florida, despite the fact the Platypus is still docked in East Hook, and stays there for the entire game.
- The names Hossan is an Anglicized form of the Arabic first name Hassan. Ramzy is correctly Arabic. An authentic rendering of his name would be Hassan Ramzy, although, Hossan could also be said as Hossam, which is another Arabic name.
- His name may be a play on Hossam Ramzy, an Egyptian precussionist and music producer whose song "Khusara Khusara" was sampled in Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'".
- Like most characters in the game, Hossan will don a unique helmet when riding alongside the protagonist on a motorbike. His helmet is white.
- During his random encounter he will tell you to walk with him to Castle Drive to collect his back pay but when the cutscene is done he will ask you to get a vehicle. This most likely to prepare you for the car chase as a car is needed otherwise you will fail the mission. (Reward for passing: $500)

Wearing hair off your forehead gives you great profile symmetry, while bangs spotlight the upper part of the face like eyes and cheekbones. You've got a lot to choose from, ovals. Experiment and have fun!
ROUND FACE: ( Your face is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little, but generally the measure is close. )If you have a round shape, you share the spotlight with celeb Dunst, Kate Winslet, and Drew Barrymore. This type of circular form looks good in cuts that narrow the face. If you want to go for a short-haired look, wear a side part or an off center part to contrast the circular form of the face. Beware of straight bangs which shorten a face, but you can sport curly, loose bangs to the texture. Rounds are flattered by hair below the chin or shoulder length and look best in long straight hair styled close to the face. Don't be afraid of height. A little height to the top adds a lot to that gorgeous round face!
OBLONG FACE: ( Longer than it is wide. )Oblong faces are known for their long, narrow shape, which accentuates a sharp appearing chin. They look their best in hairstyles and cuts that compliment the top half of the face; filling out features liked the ears, cheekbones, eyes and sides of the face. Oblongs should stick to cuts that fall two inches above the shoulders, which explains why stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker look more stunning with updos than long, straight hair. Add a wavy look for an overall fullness. Stay away from the middle parts, which bring out the chin. Go for a side part that droops low and drapes your hair across your forehead, which adds width to the face. Find a pretty barrette to hold the look together and knock em' out!
DIAMOND FACE: ( Widest at cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw line of approximately equal widths. )A round cut is ideal for diamonds. These shapes look best in the fullest styles, such as a graduated short bob, which drapes the chin or long, voluminous waves. ( Think Elizabeth Hurley ). Loose, wide bangs and wisps around the chin area are ideal for diamond faces, adding more fullness to the lengthy top half of the face.
HEART FACE: ( Narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones/and or forehead. )The best style for heart shapes are chin-length or longer. Think chin-length bob! Side-parted hairstyles compliment the forehead. You may also want to try swept-forward layers around the upper face with wispy bangs. This creates a balanced look by giving fullness where you need it. You can wear even shorter styles, however if you are a dramatic heart shape you need to leave weight in the back nape area. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more narrowing chin. As a general rule, avoid short, full styles that emphasize the upper face. Height at the crown and severe, slicked back looks won't work either. Just remember if you have a dramatic heart shape face like celebs Jennifer Love Hewitt, Reese Witherspoon, Ashley Judd and Juliette Binoche, you have great cheekbones to emphasize!
SQUARE FACE: ( Your face is about as wide as it is long. )Holly Marie Combs, Demi Moore and Sandra Bullock are all pretty square facially, that is/ Since square faces have equal width length, it is important to choose a hairstyle that adds a fullness to the firm angled line of the jaw and brow. A middle part will magnify the square shape, so start with a side part, which adds curve and roundness. Just make sure to avoid straight bangs. Instead, wear bangs that are wisped and fringed, which softens the face. Now that you have the forehead wisps, thin out your jaw line. Square faces look best with hair curled under slightly below the chin. Add a little curl to your hair for some extra richness. Don't be afraid to cut some wisps close to your cheeks for more softness and appeal.

8-Ball is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001), Grand Theft Auto Advance (set in 2000), and a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (set in 1998). He is an explosives expert and firearms trader, owning explosives garages in Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas. In GTA III and Liberty City Stories, he is voiced by the late American rapper Keith "The Guru" Elam.
Life until 2000
8-Ball was born in 1971 and was raised in Liberty City and by 1984 had started his business across the United States, including in Vice City (initially in Downtown and later in Viceport), in San Andreas (in El Corona, Los Santos) and in Liberty City (in Harwood, Newport and Pike Creek). He established contacts with various people in Liberty City, including businessman Donald Love, who sent Toni Cipriani to 8-Ball at his Pike Creek garage to fill a van full of explosives to be used to destroy the Fort Staunton district of Staunton Island.
In 2000 he helps old friend Vinnie by creating fake IDs that Mike collected. Mike returns to 8-Ball following the death of Vinnie and agrees to work for him whilst 8-Ball investigates Vinnie's death, saying he has some ideas of who was responsible. 8-Ball first has Mike dispose of Vinnie's body at the Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard, as "they don't ask questions". Following this, Mike helps to pimp out three women (including Misty) to "high-rolling" clients, deliver a package to an angry customer, and extract revenge on Scorelli for 8-Ball. 8-Ball, with information from one of the prostitutes, sends Mike to meet a bar tender, Jonnie. 8-Ball later meets Mike again in a diner, but the two are ambushed by the Colombian Cartel, who are looking to kill Mike following the death of leader Cisco. 8-Ball burns his hands during the ambush and is unable to escape, telling Mike to do so before the police arrive.
8-Ball is arrested and convicted on eighty-five counts of owning a firearm without a license, although in a Liberty Tree article, it is stated that 8-Ball was arrested at his home/garage in Harwood and that a police officer poured a pan of boiling fat onto his hands. After being convicted a decision is made to transfer him, along with bank robber Claude and the Old Oriental Gentleman to the police station in Portland View. The police convoy, however, is attacked by the Colombian Cartel, who successfully kidnap the Old Oriental Gentleman. In the confusion, 8-Ball and Claude work together to escape and get far enough away to not be injured when a bomb, planted by the Cartel, destroys the Callahan Bridge. The two then escape to a hideout in the Red Light District.
After changing out of their orange prison uniforms, 8-Ball has Claude drive him to Luigi's Sex Club 7 and introduces him to Luigi Goterelli, an old friend and member of the Leone Family, who begins to employ him. Salvatore Leone, the Don of the Leone Family, later sends Claude to 8-Ball and the two later destroy a freighter at Portland Harbor, which was being used by the Colombian Cartel to manufacture the drug SPANK. His friendship with Claude is unknown, they are probably still friends after they destroyed the boat, however Salvatore Leone tricks him into planting a bomb in a car designed to kill Claude, who only survived due to the Don's wife, Maria.
- An authentic production artwork of 8-Ball has the name Mullan, A.K.A. 8-Ball written besides his image, suggesting his name may have been Mullan in development. This name was never used in any GTA game.
- 8-Ball Autos is also used in the missions Mike Lips Last Lunch, Kanbu Bust-out (both in GTA III) and Shogun Showdown (in GTA Liberty City Stories).
- 8-Ball has a slight resemblance to a GTA Vice City Stories protaganist Victor Vance.
- Storyline mission-wise, 8-Ball is the first character encountered in the GTA III Era.
- 8-Ball, (along with Luigi Goterelli, Maria Latore, Joey Leone, Salvatore Leone and Tony Cipriani, in that order) appears on posters for the film Badfellas in GTA III, which is a clear reference to the film Goodfellas.
- In GTA Liberty City Stories: He and Ma Cipriani are the only mission bosses not to appear outside of cutscenes
- On the artwork of 8-Ball's prison jumpsuit, it has his I.D Number which reads "010012." These numbers are also the last 6 numbers of the 8-Ball's Bomb Shop phone number. Also, if you remove the "0" from the start to make it "10012," you will find the zip code for the location of the Rockstar studios in New York.
- 8-Ball was voiced by late MC Guru from Gangstarr.

I went to my moms today adn saw my kook board from when I was a grommet. the board had Red-X fins. I went and took a peek on the Red-X site and the website hasn't been updated in years. What happened with these guys?
I went to my moms today adn saw my kook board from when I was a grommet. the board had Red-X fins. I went and took a peek on the Red-X site and the website hasn't been updated in years. What happened with these guys?
they are a small fin co now, who really cant compete, they are still available and around, just a small baller in the world of FCs and futures, even small compared to ProBox. very few production guys use them, some cali/hawaii, but it is used by more backyarders than pro's. Very good system though.
thanks again. The board was from my hometown of Kauai, so maybe that explains it. Were the fins ever popular over here on the east coast?
Red X has never really expanded into the larger fin market, basically they are happy being the small guy so why try and compete with a large company who really lets face it... if FCS or Futures wanted to they could basically buy out Red X, but Red X doesn't bother them and they dont bother Red X.... they were a bit bigger earlier on. Bascially back in the late 80 early 90's was when the box system became what it is known as now. I will keep this short to not cause a stir in who is first and best. arguably the first big mass produced fin system that appealed to the public was o'fishl who worked with Stewart early on, because Stewart was sick of Glass on Fins breaking in shipping. so long story short, as o'fishl became a player and their patent ran out one of there higher mucky mucks started Futures with a small tooling company, as well as FCS in the early 80's (also with a small tooling company) originally these companies went to Larry Allison, (Probox Larry) and fibre glass fin co / powerpad to help make their original fins before they started there "RTM" and mass produced fins, but as all companies grow they look to cut cost so they lost the "Handmade" fins from Larry and went to mass production. Not that Larry is not production in fact he pumps out tons of fins and box's as well as pads, and is one of the last originator and innovator of the fin marker, as well as always remaining true to hand foiled fins. so as these companies started to grow and dominate the market o'fishl and red-x slowly died out, Probox is in my opinion the biggest back yard builder and is a great system, but is not as sleek or quick in the production side. So their is a bit of fin history in 2 paragraphs. I am lucky enough to have Larry Allison as a "friend" and i get to talk to him every now and then, and it usually is hours of phone time with non stop stories and information. I hope this helps and informative for you.
Thanks for the response.
The Red-X fin system seems like a novelty at this point. Those guys are assuming you will never move your back foot; moving the fin in relation to a "static" back foot will change the feel of the board. I move my foot all the time, so I don;'t know how the Red-X system will benefit me. Does that response make sense? I don't know.
ProBox is still a great system.
The benefit of Red-x and Probox is that you can move the fin fore and aft, the further forward a fin is the more pivot you will receive the further back will be more drive, the benefit of probox is that it has the ability to change cant, 0/4/6/8 to change your pivot point, more cant more pivot less cant more drive.
IIRC, Larry Block (Blocksurf) owns Red-X. I had a couple boards from Ted Kearns when he was still shaping for GFG that had Red-X. Always liked that you used an actual tool to adjust the fins, not just a little allen key, although having to cut a hole in the trak top to get to the screw was a little weird. I heard somewhere that there was a picture of Slater on a board with Red-X and FCS threatened to sue, so that really stunted Red-X growth. Kinda like how Yeungling can't grow past Ohio because Budweiser will just buy up all the shelf space.
Lokbox is another option if you'd like to move your fins fore and aft.
For one Taylor Knox was going to ride for Red-X an Block went to Larry Allison to have fins put into production an was typically late with making the fins so Block lost Taylor Knox because Allison could not deliver to Block an then later Allison came out with Probox which does the same as adjusting except you can toe the fins out with plastic inserts which means you have more things to break , but the Red-X System is the strongest since you have a box that goes through the deck making it stronger than any system made . The other thing that you have to cut holes in your deck tail pad so what get a life .
