Binoculars are an item appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Their only use is to zoom in and view far away places. They are superior to the Sniper Rifle for simple viewing, as their view is uncluttered by cross hairs. This item is first used during the mission "Leap and Bound". If the player presses the attack button while equipped with the binoculars, Victor Vance start punching the air and if that is done in front of a pedestrian, his hands will just go through the pedestrian's body and not actually do any damage. Binoculars can only be found on top of the ship in Viceport.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, Playboy X uses binoculars in Deconstruction For Beginners to look for the union leaders who have taken over Yusuf Amir's constrution site. They also appear in Buoys Ahoy, used by Niko Bellic and Bernie Crane to spot Dimitri Rascalov's hitmen.
- In Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned, the binoculars can be seen in Terry's gun van, but cannot be used or acquired.
- Binoculars are seen in GTA V, but they cannot be used by the player.

Looks good to me. I was wondering if you could shadow the Merlins along the top of the castle wall it make it pop a bit more.
So, this will be just a part of a city map. I've tried a few new styles (houses, shape and textures) with CD3. Of course, it is not finished yet and I will change much of it (I think). The symbols used are part of Shessar's Map collection. What do you think so far?
btw: Bragar is the capital of the Independent Islands in my Re'Skaal continent (I think this will explain the large inner city walls).

@Jax: what do you mean with "Merlins"? The battlements (my dictionary told me that word) or the city towers? Both could be realised with PS, but you can not change selective parts of a bmp in CC3.
I tried different ground textures today and added a few chimneys, water troughs etc. Another update will follow in a few days.
The Merlins are the lil fireball-throwin dudes hiding behind the battlements so you can't see them

Wow. That's a great map...I really like the style. The only things that jump out at me are 1) your market could be a little more active, and 2) your L-shaped buildings would look better IMO with "flashing" (or whatever it's called) along the ridge on the exterior bend...I looked around a bit and it looks like all other ridges have them. Have some rep, because this is really pretty!
Edit: Oh, yeah, and trees and bushes...but I assume you just haven't gotten to them yet.
Thanks for all the comments, especially mearrin! You're right the market place was just an experiment and I've expanded it in the actual version. I've also added a few chimneys, trees and bushes. Some parts have a "dirty texture" now and I removed the buildings with the simple grey ridge. I will also add a few barrels and crates next to the houses and a few houses in the inner city wall. The CC3 effects are also just preliminary at the moment.
Yeah. That little extra detail really makes it pop. I like the building with the courtyard near the marketplace.
I don't imagine you're going to change it in this map, given how close to finished you seem to be, but some of the houses are pretty off-square (rhombus-shaped or whatever the correct term is). I think it's maybe a function of you trying to fit them to the streets. If you're having trouble finding them, look at the row just north of the fountain to see what I mean.
Definitely liking the overall feel of the map. Nice colors and tone and great details.

Very good dish, quick and easy and pretty: perfect for having company over. I prep everything before folks arrive then whip dinner together after appetizers are finished, while my guest hang out with me in the kitchen drinking wine and laughing. That kind of dish. I do tweak the recipe a little, and recommend this adjustment: I add 4-5 diced sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil) with the minced garlic. Also, I use the sun-dried-tomato oil in place of the olive oil. This change gives the dish a bit more flavor intensity. My guests rave!

Tanzania has known some form of regulation of land management and use for over a century but has yet to come up with effective enough modalities of making sure this all-important natural resource creates as much revenue as it can.
The Lands ministry has changed names several times: 'Lands and Surveys' before independence 'Lands, Forestry and Wildlife' in 1963, 'Lands, Settlement and Water' in 1968 and 'Lands, Housing and Urban Development' in 1984 but with little indication of this having made much difference.
It thereafter changed again to 'Lands, Natural Resources and Tourism' in 1986, 'Lands, Water, Housing and Urban Development' in 1987, 'Lands, Natural Resources and Tourism, in 1990, 'Lands, Housing and Urban Development' in 1995, 'Lands and Human Settlement Development' in 2005, and the current 'Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development', but again to little avail, at least according to critics.
Over one-third of Tanzania's land mass is officially designated as national parks, game reserves or wildlife management areas. However, the management of much of the rest of the land in both urban and rural areas remains shaky, in places often leading to intermittent skirmishes.
It is probably because of the presence of this that the government has deemed it necessary to introduce a new programme on land transformation and management.
Under the new programme, as announced by Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development minister Prof Anna Tibaijuka at the weekend, the government will create a special agency to manage land ownership, give guidance to users on compensation mechanisms and help make land more productive.
The government is also determined to introduce an arrangement known as 'performance bond', whereby any investor who acquires land will be required to contribute a certain amount of the produce or products to the state.
Elaborating, the minister said: "If a person applies for land for rice production, for example, and fails to produce…, the government will be obliged to take away the bond from them."
We view the government's move as an appropriate intervention meant to improve the management and use of a crucial natural resource.
Land transformation is unavoidable if human development is to assume advanced stages, but it would be dangerous if such development would realised at the expense of the land itself or indeed humankind.
What we are witnessing in parts of the country is the reckless giving away of this priceless treasure, whose wealth is far from infinite, to some people who are not necessarily genuine investors but are only there to make quick gains.
The system announced by Prof Tibaijuka, at least a quarter of the profit accruing from the use of land will go to the government and, therefore, hopefully on to the nation.
An added advantage, if the plan really works, is that the system will evoke checks and balances aimed at safeguard the land in question.
That may well be easier said than done. However, nothing short of an arrangement that really ensures Tanzanians benefit more than anyone else from their land will be good enough, and this should be clear to all concerned.

To celebrate what would have been a certain beloved chef's 101st birthday this year, we scoured the pages of Mastering the Art of French Cooking for some can't-miss tips. Here's what we stirred up.
Make the Cut: A cook's knives should be as sharp as razors. (You don't want to bruise the food.) If the weight of a blade can slit a tomato's skin, it's ready to use.
Wine 101: Cooking with wine? Whites should be strong and dry, never sour or fruity. As for reds? Go for young and full-bodied. Remember, it's the flavor that comes through, not the alcohol.
Fuel Up: Unless you have restaurant-quality gas pressure, a modern electric cooktop – which allows for a vast high-to-low heat range – is preferable to weaker domestic gas burners.
Our French Cookware, S'il Vous Plaît: Mauviel & More Boutique opens Friday, September 20, at 3PM ET.

Vuzix Wrap 1200VR glasses
Anything that operates under the motto of "amaze your eyes!" gets my vote. These glasses might look like they belong to a blind skier from the early 1990s, but behind the lenses they conceal some pretty nifty technology. Two little projectors display video images to each of your eyes, meaning that you can get stereoscopic 3D video that looks as if it's being projected in front of you on a large screen. Built-in earplugs ensure you get the full audiovisual experience. If you can accept the fact that there is no conceivable way that you can look cool in these glasses (they jut out from your face to accommodate the technology the glasses conceal), the picture quality if pretty good.

A historic school building saved from demolition back in September is being renovated as a community center for kids, but it still has one more hurdle to go.
The Third Street School was built in 1929 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The Pitt County School Board voted to demolish the school after it closed in May of 2010, but three months ago Dr. Richard Rizzuti and his wife Meredith purchased the property for $290,000 and have been working with a nonprofit organization to turn the building into a community center. Before that can happen, Greenville City Council will have to address a rezoning option first.
"The plan is to rezone it to commercial fringe which will allow the good folks there to engage in the various programs that they have planned," said Greenville City Councilman Calvin Mercer.
The total cost of refurbishing the building will be an estimated $500,000. Organizers with the Strive program say they expect to have their end of the building ready and hold classes by January first.

I've covered a lot of freaks in my time.
But former Waterbury Mayor Philip Giordano, who in 2003 was convicted of sexually abusing two little girls, has always topped my list of disgraceful characters.

PARATY, Brazil — Brazil's foreign minister said Sunday his government is worried by a report that the United States has collected data on billions of telephone and e-mail conversations in his country and promised an effort for international protection of Internet privacy.
The O Globo newspaper reported over the weekend that information released by NSA leaker Edward Snowden shows that the number of telephone and e-mail messages logged by the U.S. National Security Agency in Brazil in January alone was not far behind the 2.3 billion reportedly collected in the U.S.
Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota, speaking from the colonial city of Paraty, expressed "deep concern at the report that electronic and telephone communications of Brazilian citizens are being the object of espionage by organs of American intelligence.
"The Brazilian government has asked for clarifications" through the U.S. Embassy in Brazil and Brazil's embassy in Washington, he said.
Patriota also said Brazil will ask the United Nations for measures "to impede abuses and protect the privacy" of Internet users, laying down rules for governments "to guarantee cybernetic security that protects the rights of citizens and preserves the sovereignty of all countries."
The spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Brazil's capital, Dean Chaves, said diplomats there would not have any comment.
But the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement saying, "The U.S. government will respond through diplomatic channels to our partners and allies in the Americas. ... While we are not going to comment publicly on specific alleged intelligence activities, as a matter of policy we have made clear that the United States gathers foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations."
The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff warned Sunday that Snowden's overall disclosures have undermined U.S. relationships with other countries and affected what he calls "the importance of trust." Gen. Martin Dempsey said on CNN's "State of the Union" that the U.S. will "work our way back. But it has set us back temporarily."
The O Globo article said that "Brazil, with extensive digitalized public and private networks operated by large telecommunications and internet companies, appears to stand out on maps of the U.S. agency as a priority target for telephony and data traffic, alongside nations such as China, Russia and Pakistan."
The report did not describe the data collected, but the U.S. programs appear to gather what is called metadata: logs of message times, addresses and other information rather than the content of the messages.
The report was co-authored by U.S. journalist Glenn Greenwald, who originally broke the Snowden story in the Britain-based Guardian newspaper.

May 6, 2016
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- NASCAR is not penalizing Tony Stewart for scuffling with Joey Logano on pit road at California, and viewed the crash between Logano and Denny Hamlin as a racing incident.
Stewart was angry with Logano after Sunday's race for blocking him on a late restart. He parked his car near Logano's on pit road and angrily approached him. Although there was some shoving, crew members intervened. Logano threw a water bottle at Stewart.
NASCAR announced Tuesday it was not penalizing anyone for the incident.
Also Tuesday, NASCAR's director of the Sprint Cup Series says the sanctioning body did not believe Logano or Hamlin were deliberately trying to wreck each other on the last lap. Hamlin was hospitalized overnight after the accident and has a broken vertebra in his lower back.

Netherlands ambassador to Tanzania Dr Ad Koekkoek has described ongoing pressure by Members of Parliament to demand some cabinet ministers resign over claims of mismanagement, as a gesture of vibrant democracy.
"We all witnessed the debate through Bunge sessions two weeks ago, and I guess we will also see that in the coming years when the public debate on potential changes to the constitution," he noted.
The ambassador was speaking on the occasion of Netherlands Queen's Day on Monday at his residence in Dar es Salaam.
He said a similar situation happened in his country's cabinet which resulted into the Dutch cabinet resignation about a week ago.
The envoy noted that his country's cabinet resigned because the parties supporting it were not able to come up with a policy package to deal with the government deficit.
"So, suddenly we are expecting fresh parliamentary elections next September," he said, pinpointing out that an ad hoc coalition of political parties had already solved the deficit issue.
"It shows that like Tanzania, the Netherlands is a vibrant democracy," he said.
The envoy also spoke of the big potential of natural gas in the country, warning that while it has great prospects, there are also risks involved.
He gave an example of what he termed as 'infamous Dutch disease' which followed the finding and exploitation of an enormous gas field in northern Dutch land in the nineteen sixties.
"The Dutch disease was the consequence of unwise spending decisions by the governments of those days, making the Dutch economy internationally very uncompetitive at that time. So, Tanzania should better be ware of this and other potential risks," he stressed.

Become a master in a few easy steps
Step 1: Experience
Play a lot and try getting familiar with strong file types/units. Altough it's not fun getting beat over and over again, knowledge is necesarry for building a strong file. Here are a couple examples of strong file/units.
Urgrant; can oneshot most units and is often accompanied with many ways of returning to keep your field small.
Falkow in general; Falkow's ability to return. Hated by many who is up against returns. Return breaks up many files which rely on a field combination.
Big Lawtia/Big Red; This is described as one category even tough Lawtia and Gowen use different cards. These file types use big units and loads of grimoires.
Refess; while there are many different Refess files, they usually have in common in that they need a couple of units on the field to make a strong combination. One exception is the Stardragon which is a great against units with low health points.
Pixies; very versatile against any file. It can overwhelm the enemy or lock big file types.
Eternal Night; Small units but a tough file to face.
There are many variations of these files but the basic cards are the same. All these files have their own weaknesses, one file may have more than the other but in general when building a file you should consider going up against these types of files so it's important to know the units that contain these files to make a good counter against it. As a beginner you may want to use an existing file like the starter file or a pre=build file to gather knowledge about these files.
Step 2:
After losing a lot (and maybe getting a couple of wins) you can start building/modifying your files. Only thing that could limit you in building a file may be the lack of cards. There are ways to get free cards but do consider buying them. Getting pre-builds is a good way to get a good complete set of cards and you can modify them to your liking.
Now on to the actual building. Rather than telling what to put in your file I'll teach you how to build it. Something like teaching a man to fish instead of giving him a fish. So where to start? I usually have an idea or a set of cards that I like and then add cards to it. You don't want to focus too much on just one unit because there just aren't any that can last you through the whole game. Look for synergies, units that compliment eachother's skills. There are some great combo's out there like command dolls and orks. The weakness of combination cards is ofcourse that they are quite weak when alone so be wary of that. Don't use too much support cards for the same reason. Ideally you want units that can stand and act alone. Those units are often high level and hard to acces. One of the best stand alone units is Dragon Slayer / Bringer.
When you're done making your file, have a look at your opening cards. A good open can be the difference between winning and losing. Always try to avoid losing SP to an shade unless it doesn't hurt your file or your file is very strong against Lawtia.
When you're settled with your main cards you can add the soul skills. Soul skills are very important and contribute greatly to your winning chances. First decide on how much LP you need. If you have a lot of sac units or a big file make sure you have enough LP to survive. But for the most files more LP isn't always better. You'll want just enough LP. Keep in mind that every every unit and sacs will cost you 1 LP. Revive SS keep your units up which means you still need LP for them if they go down. Sin SS on the other hand reduces the need of LP by removing one of your units from the field. Be careful that it doesn't backfire on you.
Now you may think you're done but you're not. Sometimes a file looks really good on paper but fails miserably in practice so it's time for testing. Best way to test it is to take your file to Folrart arena. Just play your file a couple of times in the arena and analyze each game you play. There's not much to analyze when you win. If you win it means all is good. When you lose you have to think why or to what (cards) did you lose. You can only improve you're file if you know what the problem with your file is. When playing, try to remember what units were useful and which weren't. Did you use all units? Were you able to set a card every turn? Did you have enough SP for your cards or did you have too much SP and weren't using it at all. We're your SS useful? Then after tweaking it a bit you'll go out in Folrart arena for new results and keep doing this until you're sattisfied with you're file. Making small adjustments this way can completely change you're file when you first started with but hopefully for the better. And if a file doesn't win (enough) it may be just a bad file and just scrap it and start over again.
I will use one of my files to explain how I started and how my file evolved.
I don't remember exactly how the file looked like when I started with it but it was something like this. I had just gotten some new cards and wanted to try them out. In this case it was ex: mystic talisman. (btw if you're not familiar with these cards, you missed step 1) So yeah, mystic talisman and then Aria because I already have the multisphere and mystic talisman can benefit from Aria's grim lock. Since these two have low agi and are refess I added Lapierre for the buffs. And because of Lapierre I had to add more low agi Refess units for maximum synergy. As for opening, I decided to go for Cath --> Oseon. In case of backlash or shades I have Arriete so it'll be Cath --> Arriete --> Oseon, otherwise I wont be using Arriete. The SS were easy to decide. Cath and Oseon return enough SP to get my field up so I have SS to keep enemy SP low and I like dmg SS and Gafc is one of the best 1LP SS out there. With slow units on my side it's easy to use psycho soldier ss, return ss are great anway to prevent opponent to field (too many) units. So with my file done I did some test runs and it turned out to be a great file but I did lose some matches so I looked over my file again and see what I could do to make it better. Sunlight knight is an okay unit but not really needed and folrart unicorn knight is very good against characters but with Lapierre buffing any of my units were great.
Biggest problems I had with this file is Big Red and Big Lawtia. There were some others so I tweaked my file accordingly and the end result is this:
Brahma was originally chosen to go against Zu-Jyuva but turns out to be a great tank against anything except for max hp hate, but thats rare and in those situations I wont be using Brahma.
Raste is to counter undeads, tough I had tgc monk first but Raste can deal with other units as well.
4th SS cait sith. Big Red spamming grims, normally Aria counters that but big red often has Sakura as well. Just let Big Red waste everything they have on Aria and get her back with this ss.
5th SS, Beast Hunter Rivera. Not a big change but still handy at times because of the many sacs this file has.
Sylph, there aren't many units you can't return with psycho soldier ss and if there are its usually no problem but there are a few super annoying units that you really want to get rid of and thats where sylph can help you out.
This guide has come to an end and I hope you have learned a thing or two about file building. Dont just copy a file but try to understand how building a file works.

in the pages of this book you will not find artistic descriptions, nor scientific-political researches concerning the greatest crime in all of human history this is but a factual documentary of the horrifying experiences during a two-year period, behind the barbed wire of the concentration camps at Auschwitz.When the Israeli governmental Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, published this powerful documentary book in authentic Hebrew translation, it was prefaced with the following few words describing The Portrait of Auschwitz:
The mechanized inferno whose name is Auschwitz, the largest and most massive of all the extermination camps established by Nazi Germany, already has much wide-ranging literature of all sorts: memoirs, documents, essays, court records and verdicts, research and statistics, poetry and prose In greater detail, albeit in quite restrained and matter-of-fact formulation, the article on Auschwitz in the Hebrew Encyclopedia (vol. 2) reads as follows:
Auschwitz became world-famous because of its having been the largest concentration camp built by the Germans during the Second World War for the purpose of cold-blooded, premeditated murder of millions of foreign prisoners and civilians. Of the six mass-murder facilities by poison gases established by the Nazis in the territories of conquered Poland between 1939 and 1945 (Auschwitz, Treblinka, Majdanek, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chelmno), the Auschwitz camp was unique in three ways:On January 27, 1945, the Red Army in its rapid, victorious sweep over Poland captured the Auschwitz camp and found several thousand barely living inmates, of whom 2,819 were examined and interrogated at length by a special investigating commission comprised of well-known experts and scientists, appointed by order of the Soviet government. Their report, officially published in Moscow early in May 1945, detailed the Auschwitz horror with all its atrocities.
- the length of its operation, which began June 5, 1940 and continued almost to the time that the Red Army captured it in January, 1945;
- its perfect technical organization and original scientific equipment, which was invented and perfected without interruption by the foremost German scientists for the specific requirements of the extermination plan and for the foundation of the new and unique science of extermination;
- the exploitation of a labor force of millions eventually destined for extermination and the full 'economic' exploitation of the murders themselves, i.e., the processing of the victims' bodies, their marrow and bones, their hair, and even the fatty ash residue of the crematoria, over and above the pillage of their clothes and personal objects.
after the liberation of Polish Silesia the units of the Red Army discovered this camp on the basis of testimony taken and the medical examinations of 2,819 prisoners in the Auschwitz camp (Oswiecim), who were rescued by the Red Army, on the basis of German documents discovered there, the remains of the ovens (crematoria) and gas chambers that were blown up during their retreat, and the presence of the bodies, items, and identification documents of the people who had been exterminated in this camp, on the basis of all these What then did the Soviet High Commission, in which high-level medical and legal experts participated, establish? It determined, in short, that In Auschwitz, the Germans exterminated through shooting, starvation, poisoning, and gruesome torture, more than four million citizens of Russia, Poland, France, Belgium, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary, and other countries In Auschwitz there were gas chambers, crematoria, surgical departments, and laboratories all of them designed for extermination of people in an appalling manner. The Germans had designated the gas chambers Special Bathhouses. Over the entrance to the gas chambers was written: This Way for Disinfection; over the door: Entrance to the Baths. This was done to allay any possible suspicion on the part of those people brought to the baths for extermination, a place where they would asphyxiate them with the poison gas, Zyklon.
the Führer ordered the carrying out of the final solution of the Jewish question the existing extermination facilities would not suffice for this purpose. Auschwitz was chosen for that. The Jews are the eternal enemies of the German people and must be exterminated. All the Jews we could manage to apprehend would be exterminated in this war. If, Heaven forbid, we are unsuccessful this time in uprooting the biological strains of the Jewish people, the day will come when they will destroy the German peopleIn addition to the personal, certified deposition of the Auschwitz Kommandant , an additional segment should be added from the proceedings of the Auschwitz Trial, held in 1964 before the German court at Düsseldorf, where 22 of the key personnel at the horror camp were on trial. Here are some excerpts from the testimony of Auschwitz survivors (as reported by Jewish Telegraphic Agency, J.T.A.[?]):
In the spring of 1942, the first Jews were brought from Silesia, and they were all marked for extermination
The Jews who were marked for death were driven to the gas chambers. Men and women were separated. In the anteroom where they were to undress, the Jews were assured that they were being taken for 'disinfection' and that they were to hang their clothes in specific places so that they could find them after coming back out
When all were inside, the doors were locked and through holes in the ceiling the Zyklon gas began to flow. The gas began to function. Through the peephole one could see how those standing near the gas pipes dropped dead at once. Others, somewhat further away, began to scream and choke for lack of air. The screams quickly turned into weak grunts and after a few minutes they were all lying on the floor. After 20 minutes no one moved any more
a non-Jewish Austrian doctor, Dr. Ella Lingens [?], a former Auschwitz prisoner who was imprisoned for two years for having been active in the Social Democratic Party, testified that during 1944 thousands of Hungarian Jews were brought to the camp. The SS men sent so many to the gas chambers that the crematorium was overwhelmed and unable to burn all the bodies (of those killed in the gas chambers). The SS men then burned the bodies in bonfires under the open skies
Hans Frank[en]thal, a former resident of Germany, in a dramatic description told that, of 35 family members who had been sent to Auschwitz in 1943, only two remained alive at the end of the war he and his brother When sent to Auschwitz he was 16, and immediately on descending to the train platform in Auschwitz he was chosen in the 'selection' together with his younger brother to work in the Buna factory in the camp All the other Jews who had arrived in the transport were transferred directly to the gas chambers.That is the truth about Auschwitz but it is profaned and maliciously distorted to this very day!
the international committee for the commemoration of the Auschwitz victims turned to the State of Israel, among others, requesting that it contribute its share in the establishment of the monument . To begin with, a struggle took place about the inclusion of a 'Jewish pavilion' in conjunction with the other national pavilions that were put up in Auschwitz housing various exhibits and documentary material that displayed the suffering of the prisoners of Auschwitz from all the European countries that the Polish authorities did not want to permit the inclusion of a 'Jewish pavilion,' claiming that there was no justification for a pavilion for 'the followers of a specific religion' and certainly, the Poles argued, there was no justification for an 'Israeli pavilion,' since the State of Israel had not even been in existence during the years of the Shoah to which argument they replied in the name of the State of Israel that East Germany, too, had not been a state during those years, and nevertheless a separate 'East German pavilion' had been built at AuschwitzJust like that? Murderers of peoples? Who then were these special people, whose millions of sons and daughters were incessantly and systematically transported from all ends of Europe in special death trains to the gates of Auschwitz?
As far as the plaque displaying Hebrew lettering was concerned, agreement was finally reached with the Polish authorities that the very same text as phrased in the 18 languages would also appear in Hebrew, in this laconic form: 'Here were exterminated with torture and cruelty four million victims by the German murderers of peoples 5700-5705; 1940-1945.'
How very sad it is that, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of the victims in Auschwitz were Jews, the Kaddish prayer was not said during the ceremony .The Polish authorities permitted prayer only after the official ceremony was concluded with the uncovering of the monument in Auschwitz, and only then was Kaddish recited by the members of the Israeli delegation. All the speakers never said even one word about the 'Jewish' victims, and the Polish representatives spoke only of the 'Genocide of the Polish people.' One French representative, Robert Weitz[1], a Jewish member of the underground in the Auschwitz camp, proclaimed the truth about who the vast majority of the Auschwitz victims were. His words, however, were not translated into Polish, with the clear intention Thus the historical truth of the graveyard of millions of Jews at Auschwitz was stifled, and all that was allowed in communist Poland was that which was expressed in the Jewish communist journal, the Folks-Shtimme in Yiddish, which headlined the victory issue in this style: The most horrible grave of our people which we shall always remember Auschwitz.

Armando Torres
this wiki
- "Wow, downtown's really changed you, man."
- ―Armando Torres
Armando Torres is a drug pusher and character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Armando and his constant companion Henrique Bardas, are two of Luis' oldest friends. The trio are said to have grown up together, gone to school together, and got in a lot of trouble together. While Luis has left Northwood for the success he found working with Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince, Armando and Henrique have remained in the barrio where they are still often found hustling on the streets of Northwood. With Luis not around as often, the trio has become a duo in which Armando fills the role of brains to Henrique's muscle. Armando can be seen to be slightly resentful of Luis' decision to work in nightclub business, feeling as if Luis has abandoned his origins and is trying to be something he's not.
Events of "The Ballad of Gay Tony"
Armando, along with Henrique, first appears when they try to get in the Maisonette 9 club, telling that they Luis' friends, however, Dessie does not allow them. Luis soon comes and drives Armando and Henrique to their home.
Later, Armando and Henrique asking Luis to help them with a drug deal with a dealer known as Papi, and protect them in another drug deal, when another gang tries to steal the drugs vehicles.
If Luis does not have a sniper rifle for one of Ray Bulgarin's missions, he will call Armando for a rifle.
Also, Luis can call Armando during Rocco's mission, if he needs any weapons.
He is still very loyal, however, to his old friend, selling him weapons from the back of his Black Cavalcade at 30% off normal prices as well as backup on certain missions. With the help of Luis, Henrique and Armando start a drug empire which they build up by ambushing drug convoys, stealing stashes and raiding deals.

- Just like Little Jacob and Terry Thorpe, after you buy guns from him and you punch him, he will retaliate. Also like Little Jacob, if you kill him during these times there is no thumbs down icon and he won't call you for a ride from the hospital.
- In Armando's Gun Van, there are three pistol slots. From right to left there is a pistol, a pistol .44, and one empty slot. It is unknown whether or not the combat pistol was supposed to be sold from this slot or not. It is never filled by any weapon at any point in the game.
- Armando has a mother who is still alive, and says to Luis if he crashes his Cavalcade; "My mother is gonna kill you if I die in a car crash".
- Despite the shared surname, there is no suggestion that Armando is in any way related to Elizabeta Torres, except for hanging out with Carmen Ortiz, and being a drug dealer. His companion Henrique Bardas shares his name with Mallorie Bardas, although there is no known blood relation between any of them.
- He is currently in a relationship with Carmen Ortiz. Luis and Henrique make fun of him because they also had sex with her.
- Armando is one of a few characters without an entry in the LCPD database, despite having committed criminal acts and has been in jail.
- After buying weapons from him, it is possible to follow Armando's car. Armando will drive very recklessly and will drive to random places.
- While in prison, Armando had a cellmate, who had three kids. Luis, and apparently several others, have accused Armando of having homosexual relationships with this man.
- Armando is a smoker, which can be seen during the mission Clocking Off. It's a likely reference to the habits of Little Jacob, who likes to smoke marijuana, and Terry Thorpe, who is a heavy cigarette smoker. All three characters provide the protagonist with weapons.
- If Luis doesn't have a sniper rifle for the mission In the Crosshairs, he will automatically call Armando and ask if he has any. Armando will then leave an advanced sniper for Luis under some scaffolding across the street from Drusilla's in Little Italy.
- Armando's favorite radio stations are The Beat 102.7.
- Armando strikes a double-image with Hip-Hop artist Lloyd Banks.
- Armando, unlike most other characters, does not wear a helmet while on a bike. This is also true for Henrique and Tony.
- Armando and Henrique often like to poke fun at Luis for having a homosexual boss, saying things like; "Sorry Luis, but the strippers here are woman, not men."
- Armando bears some resemblance to Rocco Pelosi due to similarities of their facial appearances.
- If you get run over by Armando accidentally after you purchase weapons from him, you will suffer no injuries. Although there might be blood stains on the areas you got ran over.
- Armando appears in Guns in Liberty City Trailer (A Weazel News Report), selling weapons to a random pedestrian.
- Sometimes when asking Henrique for a vehicle, he will comment that Armando gets "kind of clingy".

AP Sports Writer
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Kyle Lohse threw seven scoreless innings for his 15th victory and contributed an RBI double as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Houston Astros 4-1 Tuesday night to stay in front for the second NL wild card.
Fernando Abad (0-5) had a career-best six strikeouts in the Astros' 100th loss. They're 8-8 this month under interim manager Tony DeFrancesco and need nine wins in the final 14 games to avoid topping last season's franchise-record 106 losses.
Daniel Descalso got a key early RBI and Jon Jay had two hits and two RBIs for the Cardinals, coming off a 2-5 trip but with a favorable upcoming schedule with the next eight against lowly Houston and Chicago. With 14 games to play the defending World Series champions are 1½ games ahead of the Dodgers, rained out at Washington, and 2½ games ahead of the Brewers.

A trip never imagined!
A table, a photo of a child, and a curious young boy all led us to a trip we never imagined possible!
Ten years ago our son, Torrey, saw a photo of James in a Compassion packet. Torrey read that James liked music, sports and reading. Torrey liked all of those things as well. James was the same age as Torrey and lived with his mother and father.
James lived in India. Torrey lived in the United States. Two young boys who enjoyed the same hobbies yet lived vastly different lives.
Torrey picked up the photo of James from the table and brought it to me.
"Mom, we need to sponsor James."
Thus began a 10-year-long relationship with James through Compassion International.
Last fall my husband, Jay, observed,
"James will be graduating from the Compassion Child Sponsorship Program. I doubt we will ever get to meet him."
Meet James? Never even considered it a possibility. He lives in India. When are we going to go to India? Do I even want to go to India?
Recently our entire family made the phenomenal trip. We flew halfway around the world to Chennai, India and boarded a sleeper train for a 12-hour ride to Tuticorin.
Then we rode in a bus through crazy traffic to a quiet village 30 miles outside of Tuticorin to meet James.
We were greeted with flowers and smiles by James and his mother and father; his brother, Johnson; and his sister, Jemi. We hugged, ate, walked and visited for an entire day with James, our Indian son!
The next day, James and his sister traveled with us as we visited a few Compassion programs in the area.
We spent the morning at a Child Survival Program. Babies galore! The Child Survival Program assists mothers in taking care of their babies. Through this program mothers are taught proper care and feeding of their babies.
The women are also taught how to learn a trade in order to provide for their families. Many of these young mothers have husbands who are not around or cannot provide for their families. In this particular program many of the women made baskets and scarves and sold them in markets to make some money.
We visited a child development center as well. This center was the one James had attended as a child.
A child development center is a haven for sponsored children to attend Bible classes, enjoy recreation, and receive much-needed food, medication and other essentials. This visit was great fun because we got to see James in his element, with his friends.
Goodbye was bittersweet: the hugs, the tears, the joy of meeting our son and the pain of saying goodbye. All I can remember is James saying,
"Please don't forget me."
A trip never imagined became a trip never to be forgotten.
You can also view this video (Our Trip to India) on YouTube.
1.2 billion people live in India. 600 million of them live in poverty. 200 million of those people live on less than $1 a day. Paul, the country director for Compassion, shared,
"Some days I feel as if I am digging a hole with a toothpick."
We understand this sentiment.
We know that through our son, Torrey, we have made a difference in the life of James. He has a brighter future. He has received a good education. Most importantly, James loves Jesus. Yet this is only scratching the surface of what can be done in India — one child at a time.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Laura Laffoon and her husband, Jay, live in Alma, Michigan with their children, Torrey and Grace. They are the founders of Celebrate Ministries, Inc., a ministry helping couples celebrate marriage. The Laffoons have been Compassion sponsors for 10 years.


text: About a month ago someone made me an offer... "You look like an idiot. Would you like to swap your nice 1980 XT250 for a dead 1985 Honda XL600R 'project' bike with unknown history?" I know, I know, that doesn't sound like much of a deal, but being a closet fan of big singles I committed the cardinal sin of trading my road-legal runner for a non-runner with the irresistible added attraction of 'some bits missing'. Somewhere in there and a small box of bits is an XL600R. Honest! And so that honeymoon period of garage time with a new bike project began. That time when you really get to know what you've bought into. Usually this consists of finding all sorts issues that you didn't spot when you actually inspected the thing. "How come I didn't spot the oil dripping out of drain plug because the thread's stripped ?", "Is that a 6" nail stuck in the front tyre?" that sort of thing. Well, so far it seems that karma has something slightly different in mind for me and the XL. As I said, this XL is a totally unknown quantity. As I haven't heard it running, the first task is to get it fired-up before spending any money on it. Unusually, for this to happen, the engine has got to come out of the frame first! This is because karma obviously wasn't on the side of 'a previous owner', who at some point decided to cut a 6 inch section out of the frame tube, presumably to get around the problem of a seized top engine mount. There were tell-tale traces of engine oil everywhere; possibly because karma hadn't finished with our man yet, and didn't tip him off that the tube he was cutting held oil! Ooops The top engine mounts didn't come with the bike, so before welding a new piece of tube in I needed to know how and where these fit. A transatlantic message or two later and Advrider inmate, Brucifer, very kindly measured his XL frame giving me the measurements I required (he also had the idea of making a thread out of this rebuild - so if you're already bored, take it up with him!) Happily, the rest of the bike doesn't seem so bad. The tyres are hardly worn. The wiring loom is in very good shape with just a couple of flag connectors to replace. Most of the fasteners are original and not chewed up, though two helicoils are needed on 6 mm stud holes in the cam cover. The first of the missing, but essential, parts - the bracket that holds the coil and CDI unit under the tank and the top engine mounts - have arrived from breakers in Germany and France via Ebay. I've selected some likely looking steel tube to repair the frame and my MIG welder is warmed up and ready. So, everything is set, you're welcome to come along for the ride, but it might take a while... <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:Georgia; panose-1:2 4 5 2 5 4 5 2 3 3; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Secti</style>
