Re: Alan Wake
Yup, it is from American Nightmare. I just played it a second time, and I enjoyed it more than the first [time], tbh. You really should play it; it's definitely worth the download. Savannah Star 23:50, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
- This is just me, but before you play all of those other games you're planning to play, you should start with American Nightmare. Tbh, I'm surprised than I even have time to play video games and go on Wikia; I've also been busy as hell nowadays. Savannah Star 23:16, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Breaking Dawn 2 movie page
At your leisure, plese rename the BD2 movie page as it was before Annewbiz thought it wasn't suited. Meanwhile, I hope I got your archiving conventions right - couldn't be bothered to skim through 80+ messages to get to the goodies. MinorStoop 12:01, November 30, 2012 (UTC)
- By Pam more like. Sorry for the late acknowledgement, I was out of town for a couple of days. MinorStoop 18:19, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
User Annewbiz
If you don't mind, have this user Annewbiz blocked for a bit, will ya - I have asked politely too many times to check what's already on the wiki, and he does not even bother to listen. MinorStoop 22:11, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Not reacting to warnings. Not just here but on other wikis too.
- Mind you, when he was not going his own way, this guy did well, but we can have only one lone player here (CJ), don't you think so? MinorStoop 00:46, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
- P.S. Truth to tell, I remember at least one pointless editor here that should have been caught a lot earlier than (s)he did. I'd not repeat the experience. MinorStoop 00:51, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Joker.
It's been a while since we've interacted. So this is random, but there's this guy in my drama class, and for our monologues unit, he prepared like three different Joker monologues from The Dark Knight. They. Were. So. Good. Today we actually performed for an audience, and he did the monologue about how the Joker got his scars, and it was great. He had the makeup and everything. So I thought of you. Lol. Anyway, how's life? And have you seen BD-2 yet, because you musteth if you haven't already. TeamTaycob 03:01, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, I agree. I mean, nobody was able to see anyone's gift besides Kate's and Zafrina's. Eleazar telling Bella about her gift would seem sporadic and weird since the fact that his gift is the ability to see gifts was never explained. Gah. TeamTaycob 17:33, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
Happy holidays, Joker.
And I wish you all the video games in the universe. :D TeamTaycob 15:47, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Two Congressional Medal of Honor recipients are visiting a North Carolina Marine Corps base to talk about the stress of combat.
Retired Marine Maj. Gen. James Livingston and retired Army Maj. Drew Dix are meeting with Marines at Camp Lejeune on Tuesday as part of their work in reducing the stigma about seeking help with stress-related issues.
Both men were honored for their heroism under fire in the Vietnam War.
Livingston was wounded three times while his unit was attempting to rescue a platoon of Marines near the heavily fortified village of Dai Do. He refused to be evacuated until assured of his men's safety.
Dix was recognized for leading the rescue of 14 civilians while under intense mortar and small arms fire in the city of Chau Phu.

PLANO,TX - JC Penney will reportedly cut 10% of its workforce next month which equates to about 300 jobs.
The cuts are expected to come from the retailer's home offices in Plano, Texas.
Last year nearly 1,000 employees lost their jobs at the company's headquarters.
The job reductions are part of JC Penney's plan to slash $900 million dollars in costs by the end of this year.

There is a very thin line between looking joyous and looking over the top and for my taste, she's too much. But that's just a preference- I like quality and discretion. I'd keep the red hair though! ANd she looks like a wonderful person to spend time with!

TAMPA, Florida -- Angela Martin planned on celebrating her 42nd birthday dining out at one of her family's favorite restaurants, Classic Homestyle Buffet. Located across the street from Busch Gardens at 4115 East Busch Boulevard, she says the restaurant offers tasty food at excellent prices.
Florida Restaurant Ratings: Look up your restaurant here
But Martin had second thoughts about eating at the Tampa restaurant after we informed her Classic Homestyle Buffet failed its December 14th health inspection, prompting an emergency closure.
"I never had a problem when I came to eat here before and I thought the food was delicious," said a surprised and disappointed Martin.
But state inspection records show a staggering 56 health safety violations, 26 considered critical, on the restaurant's inspection by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
(Read the entire Dec. 14, 2011 inspection report here)
Among the problems:
"That's a huge problem. I don't like people fixing my food with dirty hands," said Martin, who at that point told family members she might want to consider another spot to celebrate her birthday.
That's not all. According to the report, a state inspector also found live roaches in the cooking area and behind the buffet station. Not just one or two, but more than 100!
"Oh, Lord! That means I wouldn't eat here based on that. I don't like insects in my food. So you've changed where I'm eating for my birthday," said Martin.
But manager Elaine Vo says everything's been cleaned up. She eventually even invited us in to check things out ourselves.
"If everyone wants to know, just come and take a look. You will see it's not right the way they're talking. We are very clean, and very fresh, every day," said a confident Vo.
We took a look around the dining room for ourselves, and other than one small flying insect near the buffet line, everything looked clean to us.
We next asked Vo to allow us into the kitchen where the food is made.
There we found a clean microwave, but also some of the same violations listed in the original state inspection, including no soap or paper towels at the hand washing sink for employees. Vo quickly got some soap and corrected the critical violation while we were there.
We moved on where other minor violations were corrected by staff on site, like a cell phone and charger cables set on top of the ready-to-eat strawberries, an uncovered employee drink and meal in the food prep area, and more food left uncovered at unknown temperatures throughout the kitchen.
As for the insect problem, Vo says she doesn't remember that ever being an issue. "They say that, but I don't think so," said Vo, who invites guests in to inspect the kitchen for themselves.
"If anyone wants to know, just come and take a look! I'm always open!"
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation returned for follow-up inspections January 4th and 5th. The state inspector recorded an additional 48 violations.
They included:

Frank's Family Restaurant, Hernando 1/18/12
Big Easy Cajun, Brandon TownCenter 1/25/12
CiCi's Pizza, Kenneth City 2/1/12

Sailing. Beaching. Nautical stripes. Summer and the sea go hand in hand – making seafood a no-brainer come dinnertime (all season).
Dan Whalen knows what we're talking about. His blog, The Food in my Beard, features two original recipes in particular that we're especially obsessed with (pictured above, from left to right): Seafood Fra Diavolo with Linguine and Summer Celsius Mussels.
Not only are both summer on a plate, but they're super easy to make, too. The Fra Diavolo calls for oh-so-glorious sriracha for a little kick, and the mussels are simmered in beer (note: Baxter Brewing Company's "Summer Celsius" brew has since been renamed to "Summer Swelter"). Served together or on separate nights, each dish has the makings of ideal beach day closer. Grab the recipes on Dan's blog now – and get cooking.

Volunteer negotiator's downtown office deal announced by Filner
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner announced Monday that his volunteer lease negotiator has struck a deal that is expected to save the city up to $15.8 million over five years with a new lease for at least 77,000 square feet of office space.
The city will pay $1.25 per square foot, down from the current $2.62 for the public utilities and engineering departments.
The new deal, brokered by Hughes Marino principal Jason Hughes, is expected to save $2.8 million in the coming budget year, even after accounting for moving costs from 600 B St. to 525 B St.
"The savings would start as soon as we move out," Filner said, adding that the move should be done by July 1, the start of the city's next fiscal year. "We're not going to even get charged for the new rent until we're all moved in. So, Jason got a really good deal, and we're really grateful to him."
The lease deal appears to back up Hughes in a public disagreement he had with Filner's predecessor, Jerry Sanders.
Sanders in 2010 suggested that a new City Hall to house all the city's downtown employees would save money over continuing to lease overflow space for workers. Hughes publicly questioned the city's downtown office lease projections, and then in August 2011 offered to renegotiate the leases for free, an offer that would allow him to prove he was right.
The city, once it dropped the new City Hall idea, rejected Hughes' volunteer offer and began hunting for a firm that would collect brokerage fees for the service. A U-T Watchdog story in May 2012 featured Hughes' offer and Sanders' rejection of the free service.
In April, the Watchdog contacted the new mayor for an update on Hughes' offer, with a series of questions explaining the background. The next day, the city canceled the Sanders-era procurement of fee-based services and took Hughes up on his offer.
Asked on Monday why he didn't act on the offer before then, Filner said he acted as soon as he found out about it.
"The staff work that had gone before with the previous administration and was carrying on, they did not really inform me of what was happening. I didn't know how close we were, frankly, to these decisions, and as soon as I found out, we acted quickly," Filner said. "I talked to Jason and knew he could do this."
The new lease, which is subject to City Council approval, would allow the city's water department to accept payments from a ground-floor office, and also provides employees with 24-hour access to gym equipment, Filner said. The more modern building also has larger floor plans, allowing the city to reduce the space it needs in addition to paying the lower cost per square foot.
Filner said the deal was driven by a glut of available office space downtown, the same factor Hughes cited in his criticism of Sanders' estimates.
"Everybody said it couldn't be done. I gave Jason only about a month to do this," Filner said. "He did an incredible job, and it puts us in a position to do a comprehensive review of all the buildings we had."
Three years ago, the city's plan for its downtown office space was to scrap its bland 1960s-era City Hall and build a sail-shaped, 19-story, 576,000 square-foot new city hall for $293.5 million. The city promoted it through analyses suggesting it would save money — rather than cost money — by eliminating costly downtown leases.
In a July 2010 column in U-T San Diego, Hughes said the city's estimates were way off, including its first projection of $2.74 per square foot to lease space in 2013.

Paul Elias teaches Alabama Rig fishing techniques
Submitted on January 17, 2013 at 9:56 AM
Andy Poss, a traveling salesman from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was watching an episode of Blue Planet on his motel room television after a long day on the road. Poss, an avid bass fisherman, watched tuna charging through schools of sardines. He noted that the tuna targeted the small groups of four or five sardines that scattered from the major school and easily consumed them. He thought there might be a bass fishing application here! Poss looked to create a bass lure that could simulate shad that have been scattered or separated from the major school. After considerable trial and error, and lots of wire bending, Poss came up with the rig that allows an angler to fish five shad imitations simultaneously on each cast. The Alabama rig, also referred to as an umbrella rig (it resembles an umbrella without the skin) was born.
Paul Elias, a former Bassmaster Classic winner, has used the rig with tremendous success. Paul will be teaching his Alabama rig tactics at the Bass Techniques event at Volunteer State Community College. This event will be held on February 13, February 18, February 27 and March 6 from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
Joining Elias on the instructional staff will be two other Bassmaster Classic winners, Ken Cook and George Cochran. Also instructing will be local guide and outdoorsman Joey Monteleone.
In October 2011, in an FLW event on Lake Guntersville in Alabama, Elias set a major bass tournament record landing 103 pounds of bass on an Alabama rig. Controversy immediately followed. Would this lure catch so many bass that it might endanger the species? Was it sportsmanlike to present five lures at once?
Since October 2011, these questions have generally been answered, and the lure has been accepted as another bait to add to your arsenal. The lure has not decimated the species. It is legal for use on area lakes, in FLW events and in the B.A.S.S. Open tournaments. B.A.S.S. does not allow its use in the Elite Series or in the Bassmaster Classic.
Paul Elias, describes the rig this way, "it's not the secret lure that will always catch fish. Like other lures, it's a tool that has a place in your tackle box. Given the right conditions it can be the tool you should be using."
Elias states that this is a rig that definitely requires the right equipment. Paul uses a heavy 7' 11" flipping rod and a high-speed bait casting reel spooled with 65 pound braided line. People ask me, "why do you use such heavy line? Well it's not to keep the fish from breaking your line. You get hung up some with this rig and the heavy line helps you pull loose."
Paul also uses jigs ranging from 1/2 ounce down to 1/16 ounce. These usually have a 4/0 hook to which he attaches a swim bait ranging from 3 1/2" to 5" in length. He points out that even with five 1/4 ounce jig heads and swim baits the total weight of the rig could approach 3 ounces, and can be a challenge to cast. Elias says this is not a rig you just cast anywhere and everywhere. There are definite areas on any lake where the rig is most effective. Elias will cover all that in the bass techniques class at Volunteer State Community College.
To learn more about this technique and numerous others preferred by the pro instructors, call Volunteer State Community College and enroll in the course. The fee is $99 dollars for all four sessions and the phone number is 615-230-3358. More info. available online at www.BassTechniques.org.

May 6, 2016
NEW YORK (AP) -- This could give you nightmares: 1 in 24 U.S. adults say they recently fell asleep while driving.
And health officials think the number is probably higher. That's because some people don't realize it when they nod off for a second or two behind the wheel.
In a government study released Thursday, a little over 4 percent of U.S. adults said they fell asleep while driving at least once in the previous month. Some earlier studies reached a similar conclusion, but the survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was far larger.
The study found drowsy driving was more common in men and in people ages 25 to 34.
The results are from a survey of 147,000 adults in 2009 and 2010.

Resize splits more quickly
this wiki
created April 26, 2006 · complexity basic · author Robert · version 6.0
You know that you can use "<c-w> +" and "<c-w> -" to resize a split window, but did you know you can repeat the resize commands (e.g. "10<c-w>+" will increase the window size by 10).
While this is a basic tip, I sometimes need to split windows in terminals and ended up killing my fingers while resizing them until I realized that the command could be repeated.
Other resizing tips are at VimTip427.
Here are some other suggestions. Increasing a window size by a factor of 1.5 and decreasing by a factor of 0.67 seems to work well for me.
nnoremap <silent><Leader>= :<C-u>exe "norm! z".(line("$")<=winheight(0)?line("$")+&so:(winheight(0)+&so+1)*3/2)."\<lt>CR>"<CR> nnoremap <silent><Leader>- :<C-u>exe "norm! z".(winheight(0)*2/3)."\<lt>CR>"<CR> nnoremap <Leader>_ <C-w>_ nnoremap <Leader><Bar> <C-w><Bar>
You can also use the :resize command for this, e.g:
:res +10 :res -10 :res 20
WinWalker has resizing as well as a lot of other stuff. I just uploaded another version. It's only for Vim 7, though.
I have reduced these mappings to (in my opinion the most compact form):
nnoremap <silent> + :exe "resize " . (winheight(0) * 3/2)<CR> nnoremap <silent> - :exe "resize " . (winheight(0) * 2/3)<CR>
You can also drag the split with the mouse to where you want it. Just grab ahold of the statusline that makes the split, and drag. I know this works at under Windows, both in GUI and in non-GUI.
It also works under Unix. I also like to use the "<c-w> =" to make all windows same size (once I've resized 10 subwindows and got lost on the original one I'm working on). "<c-w> _" (underscore) is very powerfull too, to maximize one subwindow

With all the holiday parties to attend this season, it's a given that you will be photographed at least a few times. You may not have to face the same bright paparazzi flashes like the celebrities do on the red carpet, but you can still borrow a makeup trend from them that will make your skin glow in this year's holiday pictures.
Glamour Magazine explains how to apply makeup to two spots on your face in a way that can "open" it up. Whether you accent these spots with shimmery blush, highlighter or sparkly eyeshadow, they will subtly catch light from the flash.
The first one is the upper part of your cheekbones. This is a perfect place to apply a shimmery blush palette or a glowing bronzer with a broad kabuki brush. The second is under the arch of the eyebrow. While highlighter can be used for both of these purposes, a good eyeshadow can achieve the same result. Some eyeshadow palettes come with a light and glittery option - this is the perfect product for your brow bone.

Comments On Jan 10, 2015:I bought this to have a heavier alternative to my old under armor balaclava and it is definitely worth the money. It is now my go to head wear now that winter is here. It covers down the neck in front and back so wind does not chill your exposed areas that my other balaclavas leave unprotected. It does a great job blocking wind and keeping the wearer warm. I recommend this to anyone willing to pony up the extra cash because it is worth it.

Comments On Jan 30, 2013:first off, this thing keeps my head & neck warm & toasty! love the molded breath guard, there is an opening underneath it so you can still drink from your hydration pack. only reason it does'nt get 5 stars is that the eye port is way too small; peripheral vision is blocked too much.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- A car crash in Aiken County has left one man dead, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol.
The driver has been identified by the Aiken County coroner as 36-year-old Ivory Kirkland Jr. of Aiken.
The SCHP says another motorist reported an overturned vehicle near Outing Club Road in Aiken County around 1:45 a.m.
After leaving the road, the vehicle overturned and partially ejected the driver from the vehicle, according to SCHP.
The coroner said Kirkland lived on Outing Club Road and that the vehicle may have been stolen that night.
A toxicology report is pending.
This is the seventh fatal crash in Aiken County in 2013.

Hopes and Dream
We are making hopes and dreams because we are starting to get a new year. This also encourages us to achieve our goal because we want to try to get better at our goals we set
My goals were to play basketball a better reader and be a better writer. I couldn't achieve being a really good basketball player but i achieve of making 3 shots in a row. However i still didn't do 30 minutes of practice every weekend.
I couldn't achieve the goal because i was always doing some work or sometimes we go some where. Sometimes I go to play at my friends house or when i go to my uncles and sleep there for the night.
My other goal was to be a better reader. I try to read every day 30 min but i didn't achieve that. I really am used to reading 30 min on the weekdays.Then was, i try to read one level higher i don't do that sometimes i read too high of a level.Last was trying to read interesting books, i don't pick interesting books.
I really am used to reading 30 min on the weekdays on weekend i have fun and then i don't read.when i said my goal was to read one level higher, i don't read one level higher book, i read too high level books. And last but not least, picking interesting books are hard because there are not that good books, usually the high leveled books are interesting.
I am going to try to reach all of these goals. I think i need to try to think about my goals not just forget about it. This is my Hopes and Dreams!

We drove and drove and drove and drove and drove.We stopped at a lake to look at it and plus it was fresh water so we drank from it.Then we started seeing mountains, mountains on the right and the left and every where else. We went up and down and up and down and up and down, it started to feel like a roller coaster. We all looked outside it was all really nice. i just couldn't wait till we get to the hotel=http://!!!

Hopes and Dreams
My hopes and dreams are to be a better basketball player. I want to make at least 3 shots in a row. I want to practice every morning. I need to play on the weekend. About thirty minutes or more I have to play.
My next hopes and dreams is being a better reader. I want to read every night, thirty min at least. I will try to read one level higher. I want to try to get interesting books.
My next hopes and dreams is to be a better writer. I want to write more detail in my writing. I have to write three days a week. Or I could write at least a page. Instead of writing words I know I want to use better vocabulary.
I'm going to work hard to complete my goals.

- Klis: For Broncos, and with Elway's help, 2012 has been 7th heaven
- Peyton Manning competing with Adrian Peterson for MVP award in NFL
The free-agent signing of quarterback Peyton Manning in March got everybody in the Broncos organization excited, if not turning somersaults. But with that came additional responsibility. For the 2012 season to become special, Denver's defense knew it had to pick up its game.
Has it ever.
Broncos defenders turned in perhaps their most dominant performance of the season Sunday, limiting the Chiefs to 119 yards total offense. Which is about one good quarter for Manning.
Talk about entering the playoffs with everything clicking.
"Peyton is the best ever, but he can't go out there and win it all," Broncos safety Rahim Moore said after the game. "And the defense can't win it all.
"That's why teamwork makes the dream work. That's what we've been doing. We've both been handling our sides of the ball."
A week earlier, Kansas City rushed for 352 yards against Indianapolis, a team that Denver could meet in the playoffs.
On Sunday, the Broncos never let the Chiefs get going. They shut down Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles, who ran for 226 yards against the Colts. Charles netted just 53 yards on 14 carries, or 3.8 yards per attempt. A week earlier, Charles glided for 10.3 yards per carry against the Colts.
"We knew what we had to do," Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil said. "Kansas City had a good running attack. But we had to make sure we fine-tuned our game going into the playoffs."
Going into action Sunday, Denver already ranked among the NFL's best in most key defensive categories, including being first in sacks, third in fewest yards allowed per game, third in passing yards allowed, third in rushing yards allowed, first in third-down efficiency defense and fifth best in points allowed per game.
After the beatdown of the Chiefs, those rankings are sure to be even more impressive. Four more sacks Sunday gave the Broncos 52 for the season.
"Everybody played their part," Dumervil said. "You have to give credit to our punter, Britton Colquitt. He's been giving us a long field to work with. Our offense has kept the defense off the field.
"And obviously it's the guys on defense. Everybody has been executing, believing in our style and what we're trying to accomplish. We're just trying to start fast and trying to become a dominant team."
Denver's sack attack made life miserable for Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn, who had first-hand knowledge of Denver's defensive players, having practiced against them in 2010 and 2011 as a Bronco.
Quinn attempted 16 passes Sunday and completed seven. "We needed to play a perfect game, and we didn't do that in any phase, any facet," he said.
The Chiefs had only two first downs passing, eight overall.
"Offensively, we couldn't get anything going," Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said. "I think it's probably (our) worst game of the year."
With Broncos pass rushers blowing up the pocket, Charles and other Chiefs runners getting stuffed and Denver's secondary sitting back and knowing that Kansas City had to throw, there was no place for the Chiefs to go.
Broncos veteran cornerback Champ Bailey said he isn't surprised by what the defense has accomplished.
"I knew if the defense grinded the way it should and the way we have, we could do great things," Bailey said. "If our D-line plays well, we all play well. And they played great this year."

Broncos win first down
Denver dominated in all phases Sunday, including winning the battle on first down. A look:
Rushing: 25 plays for 99 yards (4.0)
Passing: 13 plays for 129 (9.9)
Rushing: 11 for 31 yards (2.8)
Passing: 8 for 33 yards (4.1)

May 6, 2016
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- It took about 10 minutes to wreck several cars at Daytona International Speedway on Friday.
Matt Kenseth triggered a five-car accident in the opening practice for the Sprint Unlimited, the non-points race that kicks off the season.
Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Mark Martin and Juan Pablo Montoya were involved in the crash.
Busch's No. 78 Chevrolet sustained the most damage, forcing the team to switch to a backup car for Saturday night's exhibition event.
Busch said: "It's tough. A lot of hard work goes into these cars, and six weeks of preparation can be trashed in six laps."
Kenseth took blame for the melee, saying he didn't see Busch gaining ground inside him on the 2 1/2-mile superspeedway.

The Reverso watch was created in response to a challenge set by British officers based in India who wanted a watch capable of surviving the shocks endured during a match of polo, their favourite sport. The idea is as simple as it is brilliant: with a discreet movement, the wearer of the watch can pivot the case to protect its dial. An Art Deco classic, a watchmaking icon, the Reverso has found favour with both men and women. Produced in hundreds of different models, it has become a prized collector's item. During the 1930s, the Manufacture's clients were able to choose the dial which adorns their Reverso from several tens of models. The white, silvered or black dials were the most popular but a few pioneering spirits chose coloured dials: brown, red or blue. Artcurial is offering an extremely rare Reverso from 1933, the model 201 with a blue lacquered dial, with stamped hour-markers and minute rail. This steel model has a LeCoultre 410 calibre, the earliest LeCoultre Reverso movement.

Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Hits have been hard to come by for the
Boston Red Sox in the American League Championship Series, but they've sure
made them count.
Mike Napoli broke a scoreless tie with a solo home run off Justin Verlander in
the seventh inning, and John Lackey and the Boston bullpen made the blast
stand up in a 1-0 Game 3 squeaker that gave the Red Sox the upper hand in this
best-of-seven set.
The Red Sox had mustered a mere three hits and one run for the series entering
the eighth inning of Sunday's Game 2, when David Ortiz brought Boston back to
life with a game-tying grand slam and the AL East champs rallied for a
thrilling 6-5 win. They managed only four hits and struck out 10 times in
eight innings against Verlander (0-1), but shut down a Detroit lineup that
continually failed in the clutch to take a 2-1 series lead heading to
Wednesday's Game 4.
Lackey (1-0) was splendid during his 6 2/3-inning stint, holding the Tigers to
four hits and striking out eight without a walk. Three relievers finished off
the shutout, with Game 2 winner Koji Uehara shutting the door with a four-out
Detroit went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position for the game, with Torii
Hunter and Victor Martinez each going 2-for-4 in the loss.

Barbara Schternvart
this wiki
Barbara Schternvart is a character who appears as a supporting character in GTA San Andreas. She is a police officer who lives in the desert of Las Venturas and can become one of Carl Johnson's girlfriends. She can be found outside the El Quebrados Police Station and prefers Carl to be fat, although this is not necessary if sex appeal is at maximum. Players can take her out on dates between 00:00 and 06:00, or sometimes between 14:00 and 20:00.
Whilst dating Barbara, Carl does not lose his weapons after being Busted. When their relationship reaches 50%, Carl gains access to her Ranger, and at 100%, a police uniform is delivered to Carl's wardrobe. She will ask Carl in for 'coffee' when their relationship reaches 60%.
Date Types
Driving date
While on a driving date, Barbara prefers CJ to drive at roughly the same speed as regular traffic.
Food date
While on a food date, Barbara prefers to go to diners. The closest diner is the one just southwest of where Barbara lives, along the highway connecting Las Venturas and San Fierro. It is marked by a pink drink icon.
Dancing date
The closest dance club, marked with a music record, is the one near The Camel's Toe in Las Venturas, another option is the Gaydar Station in San Fierro. The player will need 3000 or more points to have a successful date. Both clubs are a considerable distance from Barbara's home, and require quick travel to make it before Barbara gives up on the date.
(Tip: To get to a dance club really quickly, you may want to get a Helicopter or, for skilled pilots, a Dodo. When using Dodo, you can manage it to the club in LV even before she "starts to lose her patience". There is a roof immediately south from the club, that can be used to land and lower to ground level using stairs provided, but is too short for the plane to take off again. Instead, have a fast car or bike ready outside the club, plenty of them will be driving 'round, rush to LVA and take her home using another dodo before she gets bored.')
- Barbara has two children, who are unseen in game, and she claims "that she used to be married to a real bastard", which would explain why Barbara is possible to date. However, another quote, "My husband called me a control freak", suggests that she is dating CJ secretly. Also, another quote, "Hi, I'm Barbara. I'm divorced and have two children. You interested?" declares that she is actually divorced, but still refers to her ex as her husband.
- If the player doesn't meet her preferrences (fat over 50%), she may refuse to date him, just like Helena Wankstein does.
- Barbara's Ranger's license plate reads CUFFS.
- Barbara is the only female officer in the GTA series, but however, pre-release artwork of GTA V has revealed another female officer which is known only as "Vasquez."
- There is a glitch that occurs after she is done fighting a person, where she will pull out a gun and start shooting the player.
- Sometimes, Barbara talks about a plane crash near The Big Ear. This could be a reference to the mission Dam and Blast, which involves bailing out of a plane, causing it to crash near the Big Ear.
- Since she gives Carl a LSPD uniform after getting 100%, it is possible that she or her ex husband used to work for LSPD. Due to her being stationed in El Quebrados, she is more than likely now works for the rural police or sheriff's department of Bone County.
- Due to her being the only officer to be found in El Quebrados on a consistent basis she could be the Sheriff of El Quebrados.

Rescue Profile: Colin
Case #: 9176
Colin, an avid motorcyclist, purchased a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ during a motorcycle tour in South America to let the folks back home keep up with his progress. He also liked the idea of having a 911 button in the event of a critical emergency in an area without cellular coverage. Having just purchased his SPOT device in July 2012, Colin probably was not expecting to use the S.O.S. feature so soon.
A few months later, Colin was looking forward to enjoying a beautiful Australian summer day biking on the scenic trails. He checked his bike, packed up his gear, which included his new SPOT device, and headed off into the Victorian High Country with one of his mates. The friends were enjoying the scenery when Colin lost his balance and fell downhill. The fall resulted in the breaking of his collar bone.
Kory Boyd, Randall Hild, and Aage Giessing were snowmobiling in Wasatch County backcountry when a massive snow storm approached. They quickly realized they needed to get moving.
As the snow came in and day shifted to night Thursday, the men tried to make it to safety on their own, but the situation quickly became dangerous. After hours of being trapped in the snow and enduring bitterly cold temperatures the men began to show early signs of frostbite. Eventually they found shelter under some trees and built a fire. There was no cell phone service and little food. But the men did have something that would ultimately save their lives – a SPOT Satellite Tracker, thrown into a pack at the last minute.

- "Get a good vantage point then I'll head in when you fire the first shot."
- ―8-Ball.
Bomb Da Base: Act II is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by explosives expert 8-Ball from his shop in Saint Mark's, Portland Island, Liberty City.
8-Ball, knowing about the meeting after a phone call from Salvatore Leone, tells Claude that he needs $100,000 for the explosives and tells Claude to return when he has the money. After obtaining the necessary money, Claude returns to 8-Ball's and the two head to Portland Harbor, with 8-Ball giving Claude a Sniper Rifle, since his hands are still in a condition bad enough to handle a weapon. After arriving at Portland Harbor, Claude gets a good vantage point (likely the staircase on the warehouse) and begins to kill the Colombian Cartel gang members guarding the Les Cargo container ship, with 8-Ball planting the explosives. He detonates the explosives, getting off the ship's bridge just before it sinks.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Take 8-Ball to Portland Harbor
- Get to the vantage point
- Take out the Cartel gang members and protect 8-Ball
The reward for completing the mission is $150,000. Completing the mission unlocks the Last Requests mission.
- The container ship used by the Colombian Cartel also appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, docked in Viceport.
- If the player is on the ship when it explodes then the player will not die, instead, he will reappear back on land, but the Cartel Cruisers are gone.
- The name of the mission is reused for the "Bomb Da Base II" multiplayer mode in Grand Theft Auto IV, where players are similarly tasked to collect explosives and place them within a ship (Platypus) to destroy it.
- The player will still get the cutscene that shows 8-Ball telling Claude that he needs $100,000 even if they already have the money.
- Despite the fact that Claude is given a sniper rifle, the player can use a rocket launcher as well as getting on board and face the Colombians directly.
- If the player drives a car up the ramp before 8-Ball sinks the ship, the car can be seen hovering in the air after the ship is destroyed.
- A ship very similar to the one destroyed in this mission can be seen in GTA IV, as a deteriorated wreck located off the west coast of Acter Industrial Park.
- There are two missions in Grand Theft Auto III with the name Bomb Da Base Act II, the first one being just a cutscene that involves 8-Ball telling Claude to get the money, and the second one being the real mission.
- Despite not being able to use a weapon, 8-Ball has no problem setting up an explosive with his injured hands, showing he is either very experienced in bomb making/planting, or it may have been and overlooked detail by the developers. Or simply, the bombs have already been made in the intervening time while Claude was out collecting the money and can be easily placed and activated.
- The easist way to collect the money is simply using the jumping the girder and steel beam (on Callahan Bridge) trick to get to Stauton Islan/Shoreside Vale and collect the hidden packages and/or completing the Ramages and Unique Stunt Jumps there. By the time the player finishes and come back (by boat), he should have more than enough money for this mission.

URBANA, Ill. (AP) - Students applying to get into the University of Illinois' Urbana-Champaign campus will be able to apply online next year. But they won't be using an online process that allows students to apply to many colleges with one application.
The News-Gazette in Champaign reports that the university is developing its own online application for the Urbana-Champaign and Springfield campuses. Students applying to the Chicago campus can already use the Common Application Consortium that also covers more than 450 schools.
A university committee has decided that the $500,000 annual cost of the Common Application Consortium to the university's flagship campus outweighed its benefits. The university says an in-house system will cost about $50,000 a year.
The Springfield campus has an online application system. It also doesn't use the Common Application Consortium.
