Gnostyx equips organizations with the tools and knowledge that they need to make the most of their content assets.
A global, digital economy demands flexibility and efficiency in how organizations acquire, manage and publish content. Responding to this demand, organizations must find a way to tap into the content technology marketplace while remaining firmly in control of their content and their investments in technology. To help organizations to meet this challenge, Gnostyx provides strategic guidance, implementation assistance, learning opportunities, and reusable technology components – all based on open content standards and on decades of experience implementing cost-effective and sustainable content solutions.
Specifically Gnostyx helps organizations to:
- define practical and implementable content strategies;
- adopt, adapt and apply content standards and technologies in a way that directly contributes to their immediate business needs and long-term strategic goals;
- control the costs and risks that are typically associated with investments in content management systems and publishing technologies;
- leverage proven standards, technologies, and best practices as well as the deep stores of accummulated experience available within the content technologies industry; and,
- maximize the returns realized on investments made in modernizing how content resources are acquired, managed and deployed.
Accelerating changes in the global marketplace make it imperative that organizations look closely at how they handle their content resources. More and more, traditional models that viewed content only in limited contexts cannot cope with the realities of today. More and more, content comes from many sources, travels through many paths, and is expected to reach many destinations. Strategies, standards, and solutions exist that enable radically better ways of operating and it is the mission of Gnostyx to help organizations to make the necessary changes as efficiently and as effectively as possible.

The family of an Army officer serving in Afghanistan said Sunday his wife saw a bullet hole in the closet behind him after he collapsed during a Skype video chat.
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark's brother-in-law Bradley Taber-Thomas released a statement saying Clark's wife, Susan Orellana-Clark, was talking to her husband when he suddenly collapsed. Orellana-Clark saw a bullet hole in a closet behind him.
The statement says the Skype link remained open for two hours Monday as family and friends in the U.S. and Afghanistan tried to get Clark help. Then two military personnel arrived and appeared to check his pulse. The family says they gave no details on his condition to his wife.
The Pentagon has said the cause of Clark's death remains under investigation.

Ms. Kaufman made a striking first impression, welcoming us into her home with warmth, radiance, and a great pair of sunglasses. One of the first things Ms. Kaufman says with pride, when introducing herself, is, "In a few months I'll be 102 years old."
Kaufman cites the publishing of her first book, the 1965 best-seller Up The Down Staircase, and her subsequent career as a public speaker, as helping to reveal her identity: "I really didn't know who I was for a long time—daughter, mother, teacher, writer—but that's changed now. It helped me recognize who I was." Confidence, it seems, is key to Kaufman's vitality, and she will happily admit:
"I do consider myself a good teacher and a good speaker."
One of the first things I had noticed in Bel's apartment was her extensive library of Nabokov books (in both English and Russian), and we discovered she & I share a favorite writer. Excited to also discover our shared interest in poetry, Bel recited Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, Keats's Ode to a Nightingale, and Auden's Stop All The Clocks on the spot, in their entirety, off the top of her head. "I like to recite them in my head as I'm waiting for a bus," she says.
Another of Bel's passions—and no doubt one of the keys to her energy—has always been dance. "I love dancing. The tango—especially the Argentine tango—is a very sexy dance. Imagine feeling sexy at my age!" She says. "But I do."
I tell Bel that my mom has always told me that she never feels any different inside, no matter how much she ages—something I haven't heard many other women say. "I know just what she means," Bel says, and on the topic of aging goes on to say, "I so enjoy being old because for the first time I don't have to do anything—work, teach, study. I feel very good about myself—and at my age I can say no to anything now if I don't want to do it. What a liberating word."
And in a moment of beautiful coincidence as Ms. Kaufman was explaining to us her academic career, Ari realized that she had gotten her Master's in literature at Columbia during the same years that Ari's own grandmother was earning her Master's degree there.
Bel recalls renting a room on Lexington for $4.50 a week in the early 1920s: "I wrote funny stories about my landlady." Some of Bel's short stories will be out in two new collections this winter: Le Tigress Other Stories (fiction) and This and That (non-fiction).
As we were leaving the apartment, Bel insisted that I choose a book I haven't read from her Nabokov collection to take with me, as a gift. A book and an afternoon that I'll hang on to for a long time.

Friends of the Old
this wiki
Friends of the Old (FOTO) works in the Lower Nyakach region of western Kenya, an area with a population of 69,000, where 60% of the residents live in severe poverty. Their main source of household energy is firewood, which is becoming more scarce every year. Starting in 2012, Solar Cookers International is funding Safe Water Packages to be distributed to FOTO beneficiaries. Their primary focus is helping economically disempowered senior citizens who take care of their orphaned grandchildren.
A Safe Water Package includes a CooKit, a supply of heat-resistant plastic bags, a cooking pot, a clay pot for safe water storage, a fuel-efficient woodstove and a retained-heat cooking basket. FOTO wants to provide elderly community members with a way to have safe drinking water, while also reducing the burden of gathering firewood and the dangerous exposure of women and children to cooking smoke. FOTO monitors the progress of its projects through home visits and monthly and quarterly management meetings. Nearly 84% of beneficiaries continue to use the integrated cooking devices two months after distribution.
Ms. Dinah Chienjo is FOTO's Director.
Recent news and developments
- February 2014: FOTO distributes 100 packages in January - 2014 began on a high note for Friends of the Old (FOTO), following a funding boost thanks to partners Solar Cookers International. Starting January 2014, distribution of safe water packages increased to 100 recipients every month, up from 50 previously. One hundred household received safe water packages in January. The solar Cookit will enable them to cook food and pasteurize water using renewable solar energy. Safe water pots will help recipients store drinking water, keeping it safe from contamination. Lastly, the upesi jiko and fireless cooker will minimize the use of firewood, saving costs and helping in environmental conservation. Read more...
- November 2013: Study of water treatment in Kenya demonstrates the effectiveness of the WAPI - Bob Metcalf, research microbiologist, and FOTO worked together on a study to compare results of various water treatment chemicals to the WAPI water pasteurization indicator used with a CooKit solar cooker. One finding of note is that the WAPI, when used with the CooKit, was 100% effective in producing negative results for E.coli, while the WaterGuard (3 drops/liter) method was only effective in most cases. Read the study at: The Goal is Zero: A Strategy to Eliminate Water-bourne Disease in Lower Nyakach, Kenya

- Title
- The F word: power and gender in 'Thelma and Louise'
- Author(s)
- Heller-Nicholas, Alexandra
- Abstract
- As one of the most popular and commercially successful feminist blockbusters of all time, 'Thelma & Louise' (Ridley Scott, 1991) provides a useful starting point from which to reflect on feminism more broadly. For art historian and critic Peggy Phelan, feminism is 'the conviction that gender has been, and continues to be, a fundamental category for the organization of culture. Moreover, the pattern of that organization usually favours men over women.'

Get this: In a span of 2 1/2 weeks we will have gone from a high of 59 F, down to a high of 8 F and then back up to a high of 48 F (or 49, something around there). That's pretty wacky, even for Maine weather. Throw a bust-of-the-year NORLUN trough in there and you have yourself a busy little weather nerd. (Not "little" like height wise: I got an email from a girl last night that read, and I quote, "I think you are really cute but I fear you are like 5'5" Wow, ok then.)
Tonight: Partly cloudy and cold. Lows will be able to stay in the single digits along the coastline but the rest of the state will fall to between -3 and -10, even colder in the mountains. The winds have been a little frisky and that will continue with gusts up to 25 MPH. That combination is good enough for a Wind Chill Advisory over the mountains and into northern Maine.
Sunday: Mostly sunny and quiet. Temperatures will be below average again (average is about 30 F) but not as frigid as during the work week. Look for highs in the upper teens to low 20s. Unfortunately the wind will remain gusty until at least noon, so the wind chill will remain a factor (get it? nevermind).
Monday: A sunny start to Monday will give way to increasing clouds from southwest to northwest by the afternoon. North of Bangor the clouds won't arrive until Monday night, so let's just call it mostly sunny there...elsewhere it will be mostly cloudy by sunset. The clouds will be associated with a warm front slinking on in from the south. Because of a setup I've described before called "overrunning", in which warm air flows over the top of cold air at the surface and produces precipitation, snow will likely break out late afternoon over southern and western Maine and southward into New Hampshire.
Monday night: From where I stand (which is higher than 5'5"), the dynamics for this little shot of snow look decent for a time so I'm thinking southern, central and western Maine could pick up a quick few inches (2-4" deal probably) Monday night into early Tuesday morning. North of Bangor look for very little accumulation as the front is too far away. Over time precipitation type will become an issue over York and Cumberland counties especially. Warmer air will be invading at the mid and upper levels and we could be dealing with some freezing rain by dawn on Tuesday.
Tuesday: Pockets of freezing rain and spotty snow could make things tricky in the early morning hours before the precipitation shuts off by mid morning. After that it will be cloudy and warmer for the rest of the day with high temperatures reaching into the mid to upper 30s.
A big burst of mild air arrives as the warm front pushes into Canada Tuesday night. That will set up Wednesday with very unusually mild air pushing highs into the mid to upper 40s almost statewide. Unfortunately the warm air will come with an approaching batch of rain and it should be raining at least at a moderate clip by Wednesday afternoon.
More rain Thursday morning before mixing with snow at the end as colder air rushes back in.
Temperatures will return to cold (but not arctic) levels on Thursday night.
By the way, according to my last physical I'm 5'10.5". With my unusually puffy hairstyle I'd say I look 5'11" day to day. But I responded to the girl with the following: "1) I'm happily married 2) I'm 5'3" but wear heels on the set."

- "You do not command me, Khaleesi."
- ―Qotho to Daenerys Targaryen
Qotho is a recurring character in the first season. He is played by guest star Dar Salim and debuts in the series premiere. Qotho is a bloodrider to Khal Drogo. He is killed by Jorah Mormont after Drogo falls ill. Qotho tries to prevent Mirri Maz Duur from treating Drogo and Jorah intervenes.
Qotho is a Dothraki bloodrider in the service of Khal Drogo. He is one of Drogo's closest allies and a stalwart warrior who favors the Arakh.
Season 1
Qotho, alongside Cohollo and Haggo, accompanies Khal Drogo to view his bride, Daenerys Targaryen.[1] Qotho is present for the wedding of Drogo and Daenerys and then rides East with them to Vaes Dothrak.[2] When a drunken Viserys threatens Daenerys and her unborn child, Qotho breaks his arm and then restrains him whilst Drogo pours molten gold over his head, killing him.[3]
Qotho is present when Drogo declares that he will lead the khalasar across the Narrow Sea and invade Westeros in vengeance for the attempted assassination of Daenerys.[4] Qotho participates in the Khalasar's raid of a village in Lhazar, a peaceful country to the south-east of Vaes Dothrak. He objects to the Lhazareen godswife Mirri Maz Duur treating a small wound Drogo takes, calling her Maegi.[5]
Drogo's wound festers and he becomes seriously ill. He falls from his horse in front of the Khalasar, a sign of weakness. While Cohollo comes down from his horse and kneels to Drogo's side, Qotho and Haggo remain mounted. Daenerys orders the khalasar to take camp, but Qotho objects, though he ultimately relents. Later Daenerys calls for Duur, who says that only blood magic can save him. Duur claims that she needs to kill Drogo's horse. Qotho objects to the ritual and a fight ensues; Qotho pushes Dany to the ground causing her premature labor. Ser Jorah Mormont intervenes and kills the bloodrider.[6]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Qotho is a skilled warrior, but he is also considered to be cruel and malicious, the least-likable of Drogo's three bloodriders.
In the books, Drogo's three bloodriders are Qotho, Cohollo, and Haggo. All three attempt to intervene when Mirri Maz Duur conducts her ritual to heal Drogo, and all three are killed in the resulting fight. Qotho was personally killed by Jorah, just as in the TV series. Unidentified extras fill in some of the actions carried out by Cohollo and Haggo but do not take part in the fight with Ser Jorah, so all three have been functionally condensed into Qotho.

Nice to hear from you.
Check out the signature on my forum posts. You will find I own several Bihn items, including a SuperEgo briefcase and a Horizontal Brain Cell.
As far as dedicated travel luggage, that's been on hold the last couple of years due to tight budgets driven by this horrible economy and other priorities.
I'm leaning heavily toward purchasing an Aeronaut, but that's on hold right now. I have no immediate travel plans and no $$$ budgeted for it at this point, so it's on my wish list. I was hoping that, by now, Bihn would have a garment sleeve to fit in the Aeronaut. If that happens down the road, I'll be looking at both seriously.

The 2012 Republican presidential nomination contest brought taxes front and center. The subject of tax reform -- not just tax rates -- was part of our national political dialogue. Some advocated fundamental reform and even the addition of a consumption tax. Remember Herman Cain's 9-9-9 Plan? Nominees Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan kept the subject alive during the general election, but shifted the conversation about individual income taxes to an equation balancing lower rates with limits on deductions. President Obama narrowed the focus still further, to that of tax rates paid by the wealthy.

Blythe Wood Works is a factory direct distributor of heated pet pads. A heated pet pad is absolutely the safest, most reliable and energy efficient method to provide your pet with a comfortable warm environment during the coldest of winters.
Depending on the pad size, the electricity needed to operate the pad is the same as one light bulb (15 to 80 watts). We recommend that the heated pet pads not be more than half the floor size of the cat or dog house so that the pet can either get off completely or partially as he chooses. The internal thermostat keeps the temperature at a desireable 102 degrees when in use.
The Soft Dog Pad - indoor or outdoor use - a soft orthopedic pad that provides the same comfortable warmth as the hard dog pad. This pad is the prime choice for older dogs (that don't chew) and dogs with orthopedic issues. It only heats when your pet lies on the soft bed and will only heat under the pet.
When you purchase a heated pad with a dog or cat house, Blythe Wood Works will prep the house for the electric cord with a bug and moisture resistant hole plug at no charge.

In the Big Fat Rumor of the Day, people are speculating that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have broken up because of a photo Justin posted on Instagram. It's him looking at the ground, with the caption "Lingse" which is an anagram for "single." The photo has Justin looking down. Maybe he's being contemplative, and maybe he's looking a little dejected. Then again, he could also just be looking down at something. Justin took the photo down, but he also posted a picture of himself looking into a mirror, with the caption, "Just me." And that one's still up.
"Just Me"
At this point, I think "Twilight" fans have been waiting for this more anxiously than the new movie. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will sit down for an interview with MTV tomorrow night together. Obviously, it'll be the first time since Kristen revealed that she's a trampire in real life. The interview will air at 8:00pm, and Taylor Lautner will also be sitting in. Obviously, they'll be promoting "Breaking Dawn - Part 2". After the TV interview is over, everybody's sticking around for a more lengthy interview on MTV.com. There's no word if Kristen's affair with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders will be mentioned. Green Day released their video for "The Forgotten", which is from the "Breaking Dawn" soundtrack and the clip contains footage from the movie.
"Octomom" Nadya Suleman has checked into rehab because she's hooked on the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. She'll be gone for 30 days, during which time her 14 kids will be taken care of by three nannies, two friends and a driver. Meanwhile, Nadya's dad voiced his concerns about Nadya's drinking in a newly-released voicemail, and a woman who used to work for the family says Nadya's 11-year-old son watched her porn video on her cell phone.
"X Factor" has hired a music producer named Damon Thomas to "mentor" the singers. But that guy is Kim Kardashian's first husband. Many think Simon Cowell is bringing him onboard on purpose to create drama with Khloe Kardashian who's one of the show's hosts. Kim and Damon are apparently not on good terms, so we suspect Khloe will not appreciate his presence on the show. Meanwhile, we found the list of "house rules" for the mansion that the 16 "X Factor" finalists will be living in this fall. It includes:
-No indecent exposure
-No intermingling in the bedrooms
-Coasters must be used with all drinks
-No loud music
-No physical altercations of any kind
-No guests
-Be sensitive to others
-No drinking or drugs
-No diving into the pool
-No use of fireplaces
-Make your own bed

Hull, GA - Authorities are looking at all possibilities about how two severed dog heads were left on a family's porch in NE Georgia.
The Madison County Sheriff's Office says it includes the possibility another animal brought the heads to the house.
The heads were discovered on November 23rd and 24th in hull Georgia, just outside of Athens.
Peta is offering $5,000 for any information leading to the arrest of anyone involved.
Associated Press Release
HULL, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities in a small northeast Georgia town are trying to figure out why someone has been leaving the severed heads of dogs on a family's front porch.
The Osburn family told sheriff's officials that dog heads were found on the front steps of the family home in Hull for two straight days on Nov. 23-24.
Madison County sheriff's officials are investigating a possible motive.
Zachary Osburn tells The Athens Banner-Herald (http://bit.ly/SjQ547) that his sister was leaving for work Nov. 23 and encountered the head of a black dog at the foot of the steps. Osburn said she was so shaken that she couldn't go to work. Osburn said he found another head there the next day.
He said both heads were positioned at the steps when someone was home.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A man was arrested on Sunday after allegedly leaving his 1-year-old inside a car for 30 minutes.
Deputies say 20-year-old Jonathan Tyler Jones left his daughter in the parking lot while he was inside the Gamestop on Robert C. Daniel Jr. Parkway.
A witness called law enforcement after noticing the child had been left inside the car for a long period of time.
Jones told deputies that he had only been inside the store for a moment, but after deputies reviewed surveillance footage from the store, they say that he was inside for 30 minutes.
Jones was taken to the Richmond County Jail and is facing charges for deprivation of a minor.
The Division of Family and Children Services was notified, and the child was turned over to her mother.

From Tee Pee records:
The group Witch was born from a marriage of apparently contradictory influences. J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. renown and his long time friend Dave Sweetapple were interested in forming a hard rock band. They found willing and able conspirators in Kyle Thomas and Asa Irons, members New England avant-folk outfit Feathers. On their eponymous debut album, this line-up mounts a mighty sonic tumult that harkens back to classic heavy metal sound of early 70's outfits while still sounding modern in it's assault (and without falling into the ubiquitous "Stoner Rock" pigeonhole).
In Witch, Mascis returns to his first love, drums, playing with an unbridled passion that recalls his work with Deep Wound, his early 80's hardcore band. Meanwhile, Kyle sings and writes the group's supernatural-oriented lyrics, exploring the juxtapositions between age and youth, the paradox of meeting yourself, and the dilemma of falling asleep on a mountaintop and waking up a hundred years year. Asa weaves a dense texture of rhythm and lead guitar lines that ebb and flow over the basic monolithic, trundling riff-rock song structure. Dave adds additional weight to Witch's sound with massive, crunching bass lines, returning this his instrument of choice when he played in Newfoundland punk bands back in the early 80s.

Codex Sinaiticus
Codex Sinaiticus (London, Brit. Libr., Add. 43725; Gregory-Aland no. א (Aleph) or 01) is a 4th century uncial manuscript of the Greek Bible, written between 330–350. Originally containing the whole of both Testaments, only portions of the Greek Old Testament or Septuagint survive along with a complete New Testament, the Epistle of Barnabas and portions of The Shepherd of Hermas. Along with Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most valuable manuscripts for Textual criticism of the Greek New Testament, as well as the Septuagint.
The entire codex consists of 346 1/2 folios, written in four columns. Of these, 199 belong to the Old Testament and 147 1/2 belong to the New Testament, along with two other books, the Epistle of Barnabas and part of The Shepherd of Hermas. The books of the New Testament are arranged in this order: the four Gospels, the epistles of Paul, the Acts of the Apostles, the General Epistles, Revelation.
Of its prior history, little is known. It is speculated to have been written in Egypt and it is sometimes associated with the 50 copies of the scriptures commissioned by Roman Emperor Constantine after his conversion to Christianity
A paleographical study at the British Museum in 1938 found that the text had undergone several corrections. The first corrections were done by several scribes before the manuscript left the scriptorium. In the sixth or seventh century many alterations were made, which, according to a colophon at the end of the book of Esdras and Esther states, that the source of these alterations was "a very ancient manuscript that had been corrected by the hand of the holy martyr Pamphylus". From this is concluded, that it had been in Caesarea Palaestina in the 6th or 7th centuries.[1] Uncorrected is the pervasive iotacism, especially of the ει diphthong.
Codex Sinaiticus was found by Constantin von Tischendorf on his third visit to the Monastery of Saint Catherine, on Mount Sinai in Egypt, in 1859. The first two trips had yielded parts of the Old Testament, some found in a basket of manuscripts pieces, which Tischendorf was told by a librarian that "they were rubbish which was to be destroyed by burning it in the ovens of the monestary".[2] The emperor Alexander II of Russia sent him to search for manuscripts, which he was convinced were still to be found in the Sinai monastery. In May 1975 during restoration work, the monks of St. Catherine's monastery at Sinai discovered a room under the St. George chapel which contained many parchment fragments. Among these fragments, twelve missing leaves from the Sinaiticus Old Testament were found.
The story of how von Tischendorf found the manuscript, which contained most of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament, has all the interest of a romance. Von Tischendorf reached the monastery on January 31; but his inquiries appeared to be fruitless. On February 4, he had resolved to return home without having gained his object.
- On the afternoon of this day I was taking a walk with the steward of the convent in the neighbourhood, and as we returned, towards sunset, he begged me to take some refreshment with him in his cell. Scarcely had he entered the room, when, resuming our former subject of conversation, he said: "And I, too, have read a Septuagint"--i.e. a copy of the Greek translation made by the Seventy. And so saying, he took down from the corner of the room a bulky kind of volume, wrapped up in a red cloth, and laid it before me. I unrolled the cover, and discovered, to my great surprise, not only those very fragments which, fifteen years before, I had taken out of the basket, but also other parts of the Old Testament, the New Testament complete, and, in addition, the Epistle of Barnabas and a part of the Pastor of Hermas.[3]
After some negotiations, he obtained possession of this precious fragment, and conveyed it to Emperor Alexander, who fully appreciated its importance, and caused it to be published as nearly as possible in facsimile, so as to exhibit correctly the ancient handwriting. However, the tsar sent 9000 roubles to the monastery as a compensation.
Regarding Tischendorf's role in the transfer to Leningrad, there are several views. Although when parts of Genesis and Book of Numbers were later found in the binding of other books, they were amicably sent to Tischendorf, the Codex is currently regarded by the monastery as having been stolen, a view hotly contested by several scholars in Europe. In a more neutral spirit, New Testament scholar Bruce Metzger writes: "Certain aspects of the negotiations leading to the transfer of the codex to the Czar's possession are open to an interpretation that reflects adversely on Tischendorf's candour and good faith with the monks at St. Catherine's. For a recent account intended to exculpate him of blame, see Erhard Lauch's article 'Nichts gegen Tischendorf' in Bekenntnis zur Kirche: Frestabe für Ernst Sommerlath zum 70. Geburtstag (Berlin, c. 1961); for an account that includes a hitherto unknown receipt given by Tischendorf to the authorities at the monastery promising to return the manuscript from St. Petersburg 'to the Holy Confraternity of Sinai at its earliest request'.[4]

First off let me tell you what I drive. I own a 2011 Mustang GT. It was dynod at 621HP and 501FT LBS TQ.
This tire by FAR exceeded my expatiations! These tires have excellent grip! I don't think there is a better tire out there!
Comments about g-Force Sport COMP-2:
Bought a set for my '06 Acura TL. Nice grip on the dry road, waiting to try them in the rain. As someone else mentioned, they were a bit noisy right at the beginning, but after a couple of hundred miles they noticeably quieted right down. So far so good, will be curious how many miles I get out of them, though.

Stubbs' Dirty Laundry is a group of side missions given to Johnny Klebitz by Congressman Thomas Stubbs via cell phone in The Lost and Damned. The order in which these missions occur is completely random. Completing each of these five missions earns you $1000 and counts towards 100% completion of the game.
First Impressions
Stubbs wants you to kill a fellow Congressman at the Superstar cafe.
Once you've arrived, go inside the cafe, and halfway down the stairwell on the right, where the guards can't directly shoot you. At this point, proceed to kill the politician, and any guards that come in your line of sight. After he's dead, you're free to make your getaway, and the mission will end once you drive far enough from the cafe.
Knowing Me, Knowing You
Stubbs wants you to steal Bryce Dawkins's car and get it fitted with a bug. He says you might have to go off radar to get it done.
Grab a vehicle and make your way to Bryce's house in Westdyke where you'll find Bryce's orange Infernus. Get in it, and drive it to the complete opposite end of Alderney (at the Acter Industrial Park) where you will be able to get it fitted with a bug. If the car is damaged on route to the Alderney Industrial Park, the car will be fixed on the spot as well.
Once it's been bugged, you'll have about 3 or 4 real minutes to get it back. This time, though, you can't damage the car or Bryce will know something's up. Every time you get a message telling you what time the vehicle has to be back, it means you've got a minute less real time. Drop it off at his house, then leave the area.
At some point after the mission, you'll receive a text message from Stubbs giving you a number to call if you want to listen into the bug in Bryce's car. Giving it a call will allow you to listen to various random situations, like Bernie Crane singing Jill Scott's "Golden" while shouting at traffic. During one of these eavesdropping sessions, Crane also mentions Gay Tony's Bodyguard Luis Fernando Lopez, mentioning "If he played for our team, I would totally be a catcher". In the last couple of calls Niko can be heard driving around at high speed, yelling and shouting at police pursuers. This is because Bernie Crane gives the car to Niko as a token of appreciation for helping keep his relationship with Bryce a secret.
When The Blue Chips Are Down
Stubbs wants you to rescue a CEO of a company who has been earning a bit more money than she should have.
Grab a vehicle and get to the CEO. The police have blocked off all of the alleyway entrances and exits, so you'll have to kill all of the cops and fight your way into the alley.
Once you get inside, kill all of the cops near-by, then stand behind the CEO and uncuff her. Once she's free, she'll get in the car, so get in it with her and drive out of the alleyway.
You'll be told to take her to the helipad above the Booth Tunnel, so make your way there. Once you get there, you'll have to defend the helicopter from the attackers, although it only takes her about 5 seconds to take off so you should be fine.
She'll fly out to sea and get on her yacht.
Phone Ho
Stubbs wants you to snap a photo of a fellow Congressman picking up prostitutes.
Grab a vehicle and get to the alley near the red light district. Once you arrive, you'll be told to get up to the roof for a good view. Head into the alley and up the steps, then climb on the wooden box and pull yourself up onto the roof. Stand in the mission marker and Johnny will call Stubbs. He tells you that the person he wants you to photograph is driving a red Cognoscenti.
After a minute or so, the politician will arrive. Wait until the hooker is talking to him, then snap a photo. If you did it right, you'll be able to send it to Stubbs. After a short while, the car will drive off and you'll receive your payment.
Communication Breakdown
Stubbs needs you to take out someone who is going to talk to the press about sensitive information.
You'll have about a minute and a half to reach the destination, wherever he is, so quickly make your way there. Once you arrive, he'll tell you that you're going down for a long time and try to escape.
Simply speed after him and shoot him through the window or blow his car up. Once he's dead, the mission is complete.

- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I love the tint to these. Even on the gloomy days they aren't too dark to wear.
Are these good for a 15years old girl?? or are them for adults?
Do you have another color on the same model? I have twins, and need a pair of them but with different colors...Let me know the size and colors. Thanks!
These are listed as a "medium/large" size, so they might run a little big for a 15-year-old girl. And unfortunately they're an older model so they're only available in the one color right now. Hope you find what you're looking for!
What color is the bonus lens this comes with? Thanks
Hey Erik Cioffi,
The White/Persimmon Contact comes with a bronze bonus lens. The Nocturnal-Bronze/Red Spctra comes with a Persimmon bonus lens. The Nocturnal-Dark Grey comes with a Persimmon bonus lens as well.
Does the Spy/Zed come in a larger size...
Does the Spy/Zed come in a larger size than medium to large? I have a large round face and the goggles my son gave me as a gift fits sort of very snug around the eyes?
Not that I know of. All I've seen is just a one size fits all type deal. I'd try a "frameless" style if you want something larger around the eyes.

If you ask six people the meaning of career success, you will probably get six different answers. One dictionary defines success as "the satisfactory accomplishment of a goal sought for."
To be successful, you must achieve the goal and be satisfied with the outcome. With this definition, one wonders if "success" that does not include personal satisfaction — a sense of well-being — is really true success at all. As a career coach, I assist my clients on their journey to finding their authentic vocation. The word authentic, as used here, means real or aligned with one's essential self; vocation denotes a calling, a profession to which one is particularly suited for, or a life's work.

Elmo: The Musical is the newest Sesame Street segment that began airing in the 43rd season. 10 segments have been produced (with five additional segments appearing the following season)[1].
In the segment, Elmo teaches math skills while imagining himself in different musical situations. Segments include "Sea Captain the Musical," "Mountain Climber the Musical," "Prince Elmo the Musical" and "President the Musical." Joining Elmo in his adventures is Velvet, a talking set of curtains, and a series of animal and Anything Muppet friends.
The segment will inspire new online content for Sesamestreet.org. Elements of the segment (including Velvet) appear in the Sesame Street Live show, Can't Stop Singing.
|Guacamole the Musical (First: Episode 4301)
Chef Explorer Elmo travels to Nacho Picchu and meets the Queen. The Queen is looking for a big dip for her big tortilla chip and Elmo must deliver or else! The Rhombus of Recipes appears and tells Elmo that he has to sing, "We want guac!" and he will receive a recipe. Elmo sings and is led to Nose McDonald's Whistling Nose Garden to find 14 avocados, then to the Temple of Spoons to get three tablespoons of onion. The bowl of avocadoes and onions transforms into guacamole. Measuring worked! Elmo gives the Queen of Nacho Picchu the guacamole to taste and she loves it.
|Athlete the Musical (First: Episode 4302)
Elmo imagines himself as an athlete competing against a large monster, Enormous Athlete, to win a pair of golden shoes. Enormous Athlete wins the first two games, but he falls down during the hurdle race. Elmo ultimately decides to help him get back up to finish the race, realizing that good sportsmanship matters more than winning.
|Sea Captain the Musical (First: Episode 4303)
Sea Captain Elmo is on a ship that sets sail to find Moby Pink, a giant pink whale. With the help of eight chicken sailors, Elmo is off! As Elmo and the chickens begin to look for Moby Pink, a bottle flies into the boat and informs them that if they want to find Moby Pink, they must sail to the Bermuda Octagon, a shape with eight sides and eight angles. They come upon a shape, but count only three sides and three angles. It's the Bermuda Triangle and not the Bermuda Octagon, so they keep looking. They come upon another shape and this time Elmo counts eight sides and eight angles and determines that it is the Bermuda Octagon. Elmo and the crew continue to sail and they finally find Moby Pink! She keeps rocking their boat and explains that she can't stop because she has eight barnacles on her back that are making her itchy. Elmo suggests that they try to solve the problem by doing subtraction.
|Pizza the Musical (First: Episode 4305)
Pizza Astronaut Elmo has to deliver a pizza to the Martians. So he takes off in his rocket, but makes a sharp turn and the pizza slices start flying out of the box. Velvet tells Elmo it's because there is no gravity in space. When a star shoots straight into Elmo's rocket and forms a hole, Elmo decides to use one slice of pizza to cover the hole and it works! He now only has three slices left! Elmo keeps going, but a space chicken in his spaceship is blocking his way and he traps Elmo in his laser beams. Elmo uses three pizza slices to cover the holes again. He stops the lasers and the spaceship flies away! Elmo realizes that he has zero slices left! The Martians don't mind because they are thrilled to do the "Pizza Box Dance" instead.

Behind the Scenes[1]
Replacing Elmo's World
Production on the "Elmo's World" segments had ceased in the late 2000's, the last segment airing as part of the 2009 season. The segment was meant to appeal to kids younger than the target age of the show (two years and younger). Executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente was not too pleased with the success it received, as it was targeting an age the show's curriculum was not designed for. The "block format" experiment of season 40 proved to be a ratings hit, attracting more children between the ages of 3-4[2], leaving the "Elmo's World" segment as the youngest-skewing portion of the program, something Parente wished to change even before production halted.
In June 2011, Joey Mazzarino and the other writers began developing new ideas for the new segment. One idea was to have Elmo go on road trips using his tricycle. Mazzarino stated Elmo's character was all about his excited view of the world and large imagination and they decided to go with an idea based on those characteristics. The idea of a musical segment came around and with the success of musical programs like High School Musical and Glee, the writers decided it was a good idea to move forward with.
Each episode took a day to film. All the material was filmed in front of a greenscreen, with the performers dressed in green to allow characters like Elmo to appear full-bodied. Magnetic Dreams Animation Studio, known for producing other animated segments for the show, provides the CGI elements of the segment, including the backgrounds and new character Velvet. Each episode costs approximately $275,000 to produce.
Sesame Street musical director Bill Sherman helms music production for the segment.

Worked exactly like I planned. Now I can hold more DI resin and I can watch the color change to know when its exhausted
Great Add-on for any RO/DI By J.Engelbrecht on 2/28/2016J.Engelbrecht would recommend this product to a friendI upgraded my 4 stage Kent Marine Hi-Si unit and the results are great. I added this DI cartridge onto the end and added an extra carbon filter on in the middle.
easy By zakdigital on 2/15/2016zakdigital would recommend this product to a friendThis stage, in my case, was a plug-n-play addition to a 6 stage drinking water kit to give me that peace of mind I get knowing I will never go above 0 TDS.
Packed well and ready to go.
My next item on the perfect water wish list is the auto flush valve!
Great TDS ,but By Mac on 1/24/2016Mac wouldn't recommend this product to a friendAdded to my RO system to obtain 0 TDS. That worked great. Problem was with the canister leaking. Had to tighten with spanner wrench to the point of almost pulling the screws out of the wall. BFS did send me a new o-ring. While replacing the o-ring, I saw that the mating surface was not smooth, especially at the forming seam. I filed that smooth and had no leaks just hand tighten. Quality control needs improvement.
canister it By littleman on 11/30/2015littleman would recommend this product to a friendBrs equipment is excellent. Talk about quality and price it's in the canister. I bought a extra di canister for my brs rodi system to make sure my water is crystal clear, easy to add on.want clean and clear.all i got to say it's all in the canister .
Works great By Lukas on 10/25/2015Lukas would recommend this product to a friendI needed a second DI canister to squeeze the most out of my DI resin, this works beautifully. Just plug in your blue line and good to go.
Single Deionization Canister By chuck on 9/10/2015chuck would recommend this product to a friendI really like it! I now have 1 canister to fill, rather than the 2 smaller ones I had before. It came filled with the deionization resin, that was very nice. Thanks BRS
Perfect By Joshua on 7/22/2015Joshua would recommend this product to a friendlove having the second canister on my 4 stage as then when first is exhausted i can simply switch the 2nd one to the first location and refill the canister that was in the first spot and put in the second one that way im fully using up all di resin and getting more life out of it...far better than i was expecting on life of resin after i added 2nd canister
Works Perfect By Mike on 7/13/2015Mike would recommend this product to a friendI already have a reverse osmosis filter for my drinking water and needed the RO add on for my aquarium. Very easy to install and works perfect. After 200 gallons I am still getting 000 on my TDS meter. Just make sure to get the cap really tight or it will leak a little.
Perfect By Joshua on 7/10/2015Joshua would recommend this product to a friendadded this to a 4 stage made 5 stage with an add on prefilter to make it 5 stage and add this to make it a 6 stage as i was trying to lower tds into the di as i was burning through resin too fast reason i added the other prefilter which gave me 2 carbon blocks and with the 2nd di chamber makes everything easier as since you dont fully use all of the di resin before you start producing 1 tds with the 2nd chamber you can fully exhaust the first chamber/canister before changing then when i refil i just swap out the 2nd chamber and move it to the first location to use the rest of that canister and add the new canister to the 2nd location
