Sara Groves Illuminates the Invisible Kingdom
Sara Groves is one of the most penetrating and vulnerable artists in Christian music today. Beliefnet contributor Collin Derrick recently caught up with her to talk about her life, spirituality, and new album.
Sara Groves pretty much single handedly changed my opinion about Christian music. When I turn on Christian radio I rarely hear authenticity, vulnerability and a passion for God. It often feels more like the artist is simply using Jesus to sell me their product, which happened to be Christian music. But I have never felt that way about Groves' music. She sings about her own insecurities, the intimacy of close relationships, and about Jesus but when she mentions his name it sounds like she knows him - like she just talked to him. Her new album, Invisible Empires, is no exception – the first track, "Miracle", has the penetrating line "let's feel what we cannot feel / know what we cannot know / heal where we cannot heal / it's a miracle", which sets the tone for another album full of vulnerability and sincerity.
Not only does Groves bare her soul in her music but she uses her influence to fight for the less fortunate as well. The concert that attended was put on by a non-profit organization called the 1040 Connection, who are attempting to prevent human trafficking in Nepal - something Groves' is very passionate about. "Hold On", her current single, is a direct lift from the lyrics of an old spiritual that was re-appropriated by the civil rights movements in the '60s and is meant to inspire those fighting for justice.
After she speaks engagingly with the fans that waited after the show we sat down for our interview. I soon found, as you will, that the sincerity of her music is really much more than that – it is who she is.
I really like the new album, from start to finish. What moments are you the most proud of?
I'm kind of close to it right now but my favorite moments, the ones that are the most 'me' or the most honest or the songs that are the most inside-my-heart are "Mystery", "Obsolete" and "Finite". "Obsolete" is my favorite song, favorite to play, favorite melody and favorite theme. There's a lot that when into it and I like a song like that. I could tell you five stories and I could say this song is inspired by all five stories. It's about the elderly, it's about feeling left out of a friendship, it's about the story of a homeless man who hadn't been looked at in so long he actually though the was invisible, it's about the internet and about how the internet makes you feel like you're never enough - that drives me crazy. I was trying to process my own feelings about technology - which stresses me out. It makes me feel like I'm not doing enough. In a way you're aware of what everyone is doing on their best day. Everyone is putting themselves out there, everyone is advertising, everyone is Madison Avenue for themselves. I have a hard time with that. I have a hard time doing it for myself - Troy does it for me. I'm not on Facebook. When it came out I felt a divine message - I very clearly felt the Lord say, "You're not going to get to do that. Right off the bat I'll set you free." Part of me wants to do it but there's a bigger part that feels relieved.

I continue to stand by my belief that my best defense in the garden is me. In the morning I go out and inspect my garden and smash insects and pick off diseased foliage, careful not to spread it to other plants by my own hand. I watch for the beginning of any abnormality and nip it in the bud. However, sometimes things slide by undetected, plus it is hard to determine bacterial brown spot from mosaic if you are not sure what you are looking for.

The purpose of this wiki is to consolidate some of the Web Applications WG's (aka WebApps) Real Working Modes including: Participation and Communication, Meetings, Consensus, Mail List usage, links to important resources, etc.
Note the WG's Charter formally defines many aspects of the group's working mode. In all cases, the Charter and/or the W3C Process Document overrides the information in this wiki. Nevertheless, this wiki contains additional information about how the group really works and as such, this information may be particularly useful to new members of the WG.
This document is a Living Document and as such will change. Members of the WG are encouraged to edit (e.g. to embellish, correct, etc.) the information in this document.
- 1 Participation and Communication
- 2 The Technical Reports Process (What is an Editor's Draft?)
- 3 Editors
- 4 Bugs, Issues and Actions
- 5 Patent Policy
- 6 Meetings? What Meetings?
- 7 Consensus and Call for Consensus
- 8 Mail List Policy, Usage, Etiquette, etc.
- 9 Off-Topic Discussion Policy
- 11 Testing
- 12 CVS and Mercurial
- 13 Links to Group Resources
Participation and Communication
WebApps' formal Participation and Communication models are documented in the Participation and Communications sections of its Charter, respectively.
Strictly speaking, only the Chairs and Editors have firm participation requirements. However, all WG members are strongly encouraged to participate in all of the specifications in progress.
A WG member may participate in various ways including:
- Attending one of the group's formal meetings
- Participating in discussions on the WG's mail lists (see below)
- Being an Editor of one or more of the group's active specifications
- Participate in discussions on the group's #webapps IRC channel
Participation from the Public, via our Public mail lists is also welcome, provided comments, contributions, etc. are consistent with the W3C Patent Policy. The group uses the following mail lists:
- public-webapps; for all technical discussions except for the other mail lists in this list
- public-webapps-testsuite; testing related discussions
- www-dom; for discussions about the group's DOM specs
- public-script-coord; for discussions about the Web IDL spec and ECMA TC39 coordination
- public-web-intents; used by the Web Intents Task force between WebApps and the Device API WG
The widgetspecs Twitter account is used to make public announcements about the group's Widgets Specs.
The Technical Reports Process (What is an Editor's Draft?)
The W3C Process Document formally defines the Technical Report Process this group follows.
This group uses Editor's Drafts (ED) which, as the name indicates, is simply the latest version of a specification an Editor maintains. An ED should be thought of as the tip of the tree i.e. a work in progress that may change at any point in time.
EDs are not formal publications by the W3C and as such, the W3C Process Document does not explicitly define them.
Those with a vested interest in a specification e.g. implementers and application developers, should use a spec's Editor's Draft and not a dated version of the ED that was published as a Working Draft in the W3C's Technical Reports repository.
The W3C Process Document defines a so-called Publication "Heart Beat" Requirement that states a WG should publish each spec in the Technical Reports (aka /TR/) repository. For various reasons, including the relatively large number of specs in development, this WG does not generally follow this requirement.
Editors in this Working Group have wide freedom to update (add, change, delete) text in Editor's Drafts without explicit consensus from the group. This method is referred to as Edit First and Review Later and is contrary to other WGs that follow a Review First and Edit Later editing model.
Does this does mean WG members' input is not taken into account? No. Editors are expected to consider all inputs and to reflect that input in the ED.
Note: before the WG formally publishes a specification as a Technical Report (i.e. a copy of the spec is placed in the Technical Reports repository), WG members will be asked if there is consensus to publish the specification (as described in this document's Call for Consensus section).
WebApps' SpecEditing wiki includes information about spec editing, including Editor roles and responsibilities.
Bugs, Issues and Actions
The WG uses Tracker to record and track WebApps' Actions.
The WG has no single mechanism to record and track issues. Some spec Editors record issues directly in the spec (e.g. "Issue: ..."), a few spec Editors still use the WebApps' Tracker Tool to track issues but most spec Editors use W3C's Bugzilla.
Bugzilla is the preferred bug tracking mechanism for all new specs. See WebApps' Bugzilla components for a list of the specs (components) using Bugzilla.
(Tracker does have a nice feature that it scans all of WebApps' mail lists for the patterns "ISSUE-NNN" and "ACTION-NNN" (where NNN is an issue or action number). If that pattern is found, the URI of the e-mail in the public-webapps archive will automatically be included in the database record for that issue or action.)
Patent Policy
The WG's Charter defines the Patent Policy for this group:
- This Working Group operates under the W3C Patent Policy (5 February 2004 Version). To promote the widest adoption of Web standards, W3C seeks to issue Recommendations that can be implemented, according to this policy, on a Royalty-Free basis.
For more information about disclosure obligations for this group, please see the W3C Patent Policy Implementation.
A consequence of the group's Patent Policy is that inputs for the group's specifications from non-WG participants is not permitted. See the W3C Patent Policy FAQ titled How should Working Groups handle contributions from non-participants (e.g., meeting guests or on public lists)? for more information about contributions from non-WG participants.
Meetings? What Meetings?
Most of WebApps' specification work progresses without formal meetings. Instead, all of the technical work is done via the group's various mail lists, IRC and Bug databases.
The consortium usually has an annual All Working Group f2f meeting week and this group normally has a f2f meeting during that week.
See WebApps' Meeting Wiki for information about the group's formal meetings.
Consensus and Call for Consensus
Consensus is a very important part of the W3C process and is formally codified in the Process Document as follows:
- Consensus is a core value of the W3C. To promote consensus, the W3C process requires Chairs to ensure that groups consider all legitimate views and objections, and endeavor to resolve them, whether these views and objections are expressed by the active participants of the group or by others (e.g., another W3C group, a group in another organization, or the general public).
Since much of WebApps' work is done without formal meetings, the group uses a Call for Consensus (aka CfC) mechanism (typically email) to formally gather input on a specific question such as Is spec X ready to publish as a Last Call Working Draft?. When a CfC is issued, an explicit response from WG members is preferred and note that the lack of a response will always be considered assent i.e. agreement with the proposal.
Most CfC's are done on the public-webapps mail list and the comment period is typically one week. However, in some rare cases, for example when Member confidentially is an issue, the member-webapps mail list is used.
Note the CfC mechanism may not be used with some of the WG's work, for instance, those WG members working on the Widgets specs do not typically use CfCs because they have regularly scheduled meetings.
Mail List Policy, Usage, Etiquette, etc.
The Consortium has formal Mail List policies and procedures yet also accommodates some flexibility on how mail lists are used:
- Each W3C mailing list has its own policies regarding who may post to the list. Those subscribed to each list are generally able to post directly to the list without delay; those who are not may be subject to manual moderation (at least the first time they post.)
See W3C Mailing List and Archive Info and W3C Guidelines for Email Attachment Formats for more information.
WebApps' members appreciate and encourage frank technical discussions on our mail lists but all discussions must be done in a respectful manner. Please note this respect requirement is codified in the Process Document via the following participation criteria "Social competence in one's role". Additionally, see Positive Work Environment Task Force and if you did not attend Kindergarten, we expect our list participants to adhere to the basic principles in All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten.
We also expect our mail list participants to adhere to the following:
- Follow basic Netiquette such as avoiding typing in ALL CAPS
- Messages should be encoded using plain text
- Messages should not use top-posting. See the WHATWG's top-posting guidelines for more information and this email from Tobie Langel for information about top-posting and Outlook and Outlook Express.
- Subjects should be prefaced with the name of the spec (for example: [DOM4] Blah, Blah, Blah)
- Attachments must follow the W3C Guidelines for Email Attachment Formats, in particular:
- Avoid unnecessary email attachments.
- Use an attachment only when it is likely to benefit to recipients. Otherwise, place the information (in plain text format) in the body of your message.
- If an attachment is necessary, avoid formats that are virus prone, proprietary or platform dependent. For example, whenever possible you should use HTML instead of MS Word, PowerPoint or PDF.
- Follow Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Off-Topic Discussion Policy
Webapps' mail lists are only to be used for technical discussions of the group's specifications. Discussions related to general W3C-wide processes and policies are not appropriate for any of WebApps' mail lists and as such, discussions on those subjects are considered "off topic".
Here is a list of documents and topics that are explicitly off topic for WebApps' mail lists, including one or more appropriate discussion forums that may be used:
- W3C Process Document: the Revising W3C Process Community Group; the W3C Advisory Board; the W3C Advisory Committee
- W3C Patent Policy: the Revising W3C Process Community Group; the Patent and Standards Interest Group
- Technical Report Publication Pules (Pubrules): the Revising W3C Process Community Group
We expect everyone using WebApps' mail lists to please respect this policy.
WebApps uses two different channels of the W3C's IRC system (irc.w3.org; port 6667):
- #webapps - for Public technical discussions; this channel is continuously logged/archive
- #wam - for Member-confidential discussions; this channel is NOT logged
An HTML interface to the W3C's IRC system is available at http://cgi.w3.org/member-bin/irc/irc.cgi. See Meeting Resources for more information about the W3C's IRC system.
The WG's charter mandates the WG create a comprehensive test suite for all features of a specification is necessary to ensure the specification's robustness, consistency, and implementability, and to promote interoperability between User Agents.
The WG's main testing resources are:
- Testing - wiki that describes the group's testing work
- http://w3c-test.org/webapps/ - HTTP root of the group's Mercurial-based testing repository
- public-webapps-testsuite - archive of the group's testing mail list
- Test Facilitators - each spec's Test Facilitator is identified in the Testing column of the group's PubStatus document
CVS and Mercurial
The WG uses CVS and in the spring of 2010 started using Mercurial. Mercurial should now be used for all new specs.
Some Mercurial links:
- W3C's Mercurial Root: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg
- WebApps' Root: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps/ and Mirror for easier browsing
- See: Mercurial Information - a Quick User's Guide and download information; short Mercurial Blog by Anne van Kesteren
The group uses several different CVS directories for the group's old-ish specs:
- HTML5 APIs: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/ (e.g. WebWorkers, WebSockets, WebMessaging, WebStorage, Server-sent Events)
- "Web APIs": http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/webapi/ (e.g. Selectors v1/v2, Cliboard API, Web IDL, File API)
- Widget specs: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/waf/
- File API specs: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2009/dap/; 2 of WebApps' File specs (File API: Writer and File API: Directories and System) are in the DAP WG's CVS repository
See the following documents for more information about CVS and its usage in the W3C:

Apple Blinks. Flash Tools Now Allowed
10 comments:
Maybe they just realised that it was restricting too many legitimate use cases for various different tools e.g. Lua in games (although I believe sometimes that was still allowed). Rather than pressure from Android, or Flash.ReplyDelete
Now that there are over 25,000 apps for iPad, many app developers have already created native applications for the platform. Dido for iPod touch and iPhone 4 (with Retina display resolution). So now there's no longer a need to hold back on others from developing in a more cross-platform approach.ReplyDelete
For Apple, it was a good move to slow down Flash development and get a lot of developers writing natively for the platform. I don't think it hurt them much - actually, the "trick" worked.
Look for an announcement by Microsoft regarding an App Store for their suite of devices like Windows Phone, Xbox Live, and Windows Media Center.ReplyDelete
Apple's announcement is no coincidence, of course, but bending to developer pressure is highly unlikely. So long as iOS is overwhelmingly dominant, which it is now, there is no reason for Apple to capitulate.
However, bending to competition, real competition, not just shady numbers and non-contextual information, is just not how Jobs does things.
Great so now instead of playing a flashgame for free on the web you can pay what $1 to play it?ReplyDelete
Mobile development just needs to align itself with the existing standards of desktop development. This walled-garden, and strict developer terms nonsense needs to be trashed completely. Which is one of the reasons why I prefer Android.ReplyDelete
Hey.. where does it read FLASH IS ALLOWED?? Did not see that in the 'concession' link above.ReplyDelete
I think you're totally wrong. I don't see what this has to do with Android. Android development isn't accelerating because of Flash or Flash compilers. Where's the evidence of that?ReplyDelete
Wired had a great article about what may have motivated Apple and it's more likely that Apple was looking down the barrel of government intervention.
More than likely though, this was a controlled attempt by Apple to delay Adobe's cross compiling environment so that more developers would standardize on iOS with Objective-C tools. By delaying Adobe with outright rejection, it weakened the cross compiler market by several months, making them practically useless now.
Apple is playing a much deeper game here, chess rather than checkers. They're three moves ahead. They've got everyone singing their praises now, when more than likely they can now work to reject cross compiled apps at the review level, thereby shielding themselves from government intervention. Think about it.
Apple can still reject apps for arbitrary reasons (i.e. duplicating functionality, bugs, etc) This move is absolutely brilliant.
I think Clark makes a good point. Google isn't really competing that well with the app store. Just look at their ridiculously small worldwide coverage in comparison to the apple app store (for any non-free apps). I couldn't even buy android apps if I wanted to (well, I suppose there are competitors to the android market, I just don't really care enough to find them).ReplyDelete
Microsoft has already announced that they will roll out their own app store, btw. But considering their ham-handed attempts at joining the market (how many embedded OSs are they pushing out?), I don't see Apple running scared. Microsoft, as always, will go for the business market (think POS devices) and will do well there, but Win Phone 7 looks like it will be DOA (I could be wrong, of course).
A slightly less cynical way to look at this would be to recognize that developers no the iOS platform felt really slighted and all the bad press was making Apple look bad. Apple wants to have the cool new platform young and aspiring devs flock to. Or perhaps John Carmack just said "look, nobody's going to do 3D on this without a proper framework" and Jobs said "okay". Sometimes it's that simple.
Just to add to my earlier comment, someone on another blog said that Apple has given Flash developers just enough rope to hang themselves.ReplyDelete
And you'll notice, Apple has set their rejection guidelines in stone now. They can reject your app based on UI guidelines, duplicating functionality, poor performance, or simply because there's too many particular apps, whatever that means.
So Apple can now look at the FTC and say "hey, we're allowing cross compilers now, is it our fault we have to reject so many because they run so poorly?"
Absolutely brilliant.
Apple competes with Windows vendors cartel and fight against pseudo-tech journalists.ReplyDelete
Lately, fight pseudo-tech journalists and Android vendors cartel.
When you criticize Apple you rarely take in account Apple own survival strategies.

News Chopper
this wiki
The News Chopper, also known as the News Maverick and News Helicopter, is a helicopter appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The helicopter is essentially the same as the VCN Maverick introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The News Chopper is a 2 door "shortened" Maverick helicopter with SAN News markings. The vehicle is harder to fly than the Maverick due to its freer controls and can flip over whilst in the air.
There are only two ways of obtaining a News Helicopter in GTA San Andreas: the first is to start and fail the Whirly Bird Waypoint race and the second is obtained with a four star wanted level and attempting to hijack one that flies close to the player. It is easier to steal as it flies closer to the player.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has its own version of this helicopter called the VCN Maverick. The VCN Maverick is obtainable through third party trainer programs in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is worth noting the internal name of the News Chopper in GTA San Andreas is "vcnmav", suggesting GTA Vice City's VCN Maverick is reused for the News Chopper. The registration number on the tail of the helicopter is also identical to the one seen on the VCN Maverick.
- GTA San Andreas
- Can be found alongside the Police Maverick if you have four or more wanted levels.
- In the "Whirly Bird Waypoint" race, started at Las Venturas Airport, where you'll be piloting the News Chopper. You can fly it to the Verdant Meadows Airstrip and into the big hangar to save it.
- Before the game's release, the News Chopper was a VCN Maverick.
- If the player destroys a News Chopper, no more will come; instead, more Police Mavericks will. To have a second News Chopper arrive, the player must lose and then acquire a four-star wanted level again.
- It is possible that this helicopter was cut from the final version of Grand Theft Auto IV; a Maverick with a Weazel News ad can be seen on Television.

Pack the Kids for Summer Vacation!
No packing list is absolutely foolproof, and of course a good one is matched to your destination. That said, let's say you're going away for a week — someplace where the only thing on your mind is sand between your toes ;)
First rule: don't overpack.
Too much stuff only weighs you down, and there are very few places we travel without a washing machine or laundry service at hand. If this means you can carry on your bags (recommended!), so much the better.
Guiding principle: versatility.
Only pack clothes that play well together — focus on comfort & mixability.
Now to the lists: hope they help!
- 3 short-sleeve tees (graphics to fun colors & stripes)
- 1 hoodie (after-dinner walks on the beach can get chilly after a day in the sun)
- 1 lightweight rain shell (because it rains, even in paradise)
- 2 pair shorts (one playful, one a bit more presentable for dinner out)
- 1 nicer top (Polo for him, maybe a Legging Tee or Jersey Dress for her)
- 1 pair long pants (Jeans to Yoga Pants — whatever they like, but have the kids wear these en route)
- 3 pair underwear
- 1 pair socks (plus the pair they wear en route)
- 2 swimsuits (this way the fun doesn't stop when you sink-wash & hang-dry one suit)
- 2 rash guards (the ultimate backup to sunscreen! And as with their suits, you have a back-up for washing)
- Action Sandals or Flops
- Trekkers (worn en route)
One awesome tip:
Gallon-sized freezer bags with zipper closures make incredible packing organizers. Use them to pack by kid or organize outfits by day. Either way, the writable labels make it easy to keep everything in its place. On the return trip use the bags to separate dirty clothes from clean.
Distractions: to screen or not to screen?
I'm sure we're not the only ones who try to limit screen-time for our kids. But in the long slog that travel can be these days, we parents need every weapon available to keep the kids from climbing the train, plane, or automobile walls. We recommend a mix of analog & digital diversions.
- For the iPad & phone — make it fresh. A few new games, a few recent movies, & don't forget fresh tunes.
- 2 chargers — they're small and make your battery-charging responsibilities quicker & easier.
- Most important! Make sure you have earphones — one set for each kid — and a splitter, so more than one kid can plug in if sharing a device.
- Cards: Crazy Eights with the kids to Gin Rummy with your mate (if the kiddos actually nod off) — cards are the ultimate in compact, interactive entertainment.
- Bag of Tricks: if your kids are anything like ours, they carry a backpack filled with books, markers, colored pencils or crayons, a pad of drawing paper and a favorite stuffed animal.
- A new book of games: car bingo, connect the dots, mazes, tic-tac-toe, you get the idea. Trust us, a book of games can be a lifesaver when the iPad runs out of juice on a six-hour airport delay & there's no free outlet.
- Small fleece blanket: if by some miracle you are blessed with a young one who falls asleep in transit, there's nothing better than a warm, soft fleece blanket to induce sleep & keep them there
Last thing. Have an awesome trip!

CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says the pension crisis is Illinois' own fiscal cliff.
The Chicago Democrat spoke to reporters Monday during a breakfast event at Bloomberg's Chicago office.
He's set a Jan. 9 deadline to overhaul the pension system, which is underfunded by an estimated $96 billion. On that day, new lawmakers will be sworn in after a lame duck session in Springfield.
Quinn has spent much of this year talking about reforming the pension system and proposed rough ideas to address it. He also launched a social media campaign to rally the public.
But he's also faced criticism for not being aggressive enough or fully backing a singular plan.
Last week, lawmakers frustrated by inaction came up with their own proposal on pensions. Quinn calls it "intriguing" and a start.

The Slamvan is a vehicle available to the player in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and is also featured in the Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable episodic pack The Lost and Damned. The Slamvan is also seen in The Ballad of Gay Tony but only in the mission Frosting on the Cake, where it is unobtainable (unless the Slamvan trick is performed).
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas the Slamvan resembles a heavily customized second generation GMC C/K. Naturally, it is a two door and can only seat two people. Sometimes the Slamvan will spawn with a custom chain steering wheel.
Modifications (GTA San Andreas)
The Slamvan can only be modified at Loco Low Co. As such, the Slamvan is capable of participating in the Lowrider Challenge.
The Lost and Damned
In The Lost and Damned, the Vapid Slamvan is a different vehicle, as it no longer resembles a heavily customized pickup like it did in GTA San Andreas. It now resembles a Rat Rodded 1953–1956 Ford F-Series panel van. It awkwardly appears to have the windshield and door tops from a 1980's Ford F-Series. The Slamvan comes in only four color schemes, one of which is a two-tone gray body color, and another includes a black body with red wheels. The Slamvan also bears The Lost MC's insignia. The Slamvan has been debadged, but police chatter will refer the van as a "Vapid Slamvan".
The Slamvan's performance is below average, being attributed largely by its poor acceleration, although the van can achieve average speeds. The van's rear wheel torque makes it prone to fishtailing, but it is capable of relatively good cornering and braking, presumably because of its light weight.
Lost MC member Terry Thorpe uses the Slamvan as a weapons transport. The Slamvan does spawn elsewhere on very rare occasions, mainly during gang wars. The vehicle can can also be spawned via cheats.
The Slamvan Trick
The Slamvan only makes an appearance in TBoGT, during the chase sequence in Frosting on the Cake. Once this part of the mission starts, the player is locked into tossing sticky bombs. To obtain a Slamvan, as soon as the sequence begins, frantically begin pressing all the buttons on your controller (excluding the analog sticks), and Luis will "get out" of the car. He'll still be stuck in the sticky bomb targeting mode, but this will end once the mission fails for abandoning the car. Proceed to find a nearby Slamvan and take it to a safehouse.
NOTE: Sometimes the "sticky bomb aim" effect will last after the mission. This effect prevents the player from getting inside vehicles. The solution is to switch to fists or a melee weapon. This will allow Luis to interact with cars normally. Saving and loading the file will also fix this issue.
Source: [1]
- The Slamvan plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Playback FM in GTA San Andreas.
- Liberty City Hardcore in The Lost and Damned.
- The Slamvan is mainly used by the Lost MC, having Lost decals on it. Occasionally though, Angels Of Death members may appear using it.
- The standard Slamvan has a different horn than its Lost MC counterpart.
- The Slamvan does not have reverse lights.
- The Slamvan is one of the few vehicles in GTA IV that doesn't have a license plate on it.
- In the GTA San Andreas beta, Slamvans had different wheels.
- Unique to the The Ballad of Gay Tony rendition, the Slamvan occasionally backfires when shifting gears.
- GTA San Andreas
- Parked at the rear entrance of the sex shop in El Corona, Los Santos. It is alarmed 50% of the time and locked 10% of the time. It is only spawned when wanted for export.
- Importable on Saturdays for $15,200. In Easter Basin (San Fierro) after the completing export lists.
- Can be seen driving around The Strip, Las Venturas and around Downtown Los Santos.
- Prickle Pine, as with other "affluent" cars.
- Often seen driving in Market, usually by Jim's Sticky Ring.
- Sometimes seen driving in Paradiso, San Fierro.
- The Lost and Damned
- Used in the mission "Heavy Toll."
- Sometimes in a gang war, the Angels of Death will cruise around in one. Kill all the Angels of Death members and the Slamvan is yours for the taking. Try not to tear it up during the gang war though, as these often have unique paintjobs such as blue and white and black and orange.
- Can be spawned via a cheat code (826-555-0100).

Sure, eggnog and presents are crucial, but it wouldn't be the holidays without these festive flicks playing on repeat. From all-time classics that tug at the heartstrings to a few newcomers that'll have everyone laughing, these are the must-have flicks for a very merry movie marathon.
- The Polar Express
This holiday blockbuster pulls me in with its spellbinding scenery – similar to the book's illustrations, which I loved growing up.
- Home Alone
Not only is this John Hughes classic hilarious, the dysfunctional McCallister clan always makes me feel better about my own slightly (okay, very) weird family.
- It's a Wonderful Life
Simply put, this touching holiday classic warms my heart better than a cup of hot chocolate.
- A Christmas Story
I triple-dog-dare you not to like this classic flick.
- White Christmas
With Bing "Mr. Christmas" Crosby himself, this holiday film is as charming as the beloved song.
- Love Actually
Not only does it have a killer soundtrack, this romantic comedy reminds us that the holidays are about love, family, second chances, and making memories.
- Miracle on 34th Street
No one does Kris Kringle better than Edmund Gwenn in this 1947 classic. Whenever I think of Santa Claus, he still comes to mind.
- Elf
Ron Burgundy, Ricky Bobby, Buddy the Elf – when it comes to comedy, Will Ferrell can do no wrong (at least in my book). And when it comes to picking a favorite, Buddy takes the maple-syrup-covered cake every time.
- A Charlie Brown Christmas
It's a tradition – I fall in love with Charlie Brown and his sad little Christmas tree in this anti-commercialism classic year after year.
- The Santa Clause
This Disney favorite is a movie the whole family can enjoy – and then rent sequels two and three.

It's prom season, and while it's a time to have fun for the high school students, it's also a time to make sure they stay safe. That was the message behind a reenactment of a DWI crash at New Bern High School Friday.
The group SADD or Students Against Destructive Decisions team up with local leaders to get emergency responders involved. The Vidant medical transport helicopter landed at the school as part of the exercise. New Bern Police Chief Tussant Summers says it's an important day for these students.
"It's the end of the school year. Prom is coming up. Graduation is coming up, and sometimes at this age people feel invincible and this was scheduled to hopefully bring them back to reality and let them know the effects of alcohol and drugs have on families," Chief Summers.

I have probably had BDD since I was 10 years old. It started with my height, I was 5'4 at the age of 10, 5'6 at 12 and 5'9 at 16. I have not grown since I was 16. As a result I have never felt thin, and always stood out from other girls my age. One of my best childhood friends was significantly smaller than me, blonde and developed much later. I was often mocked for being so tall and developed young so felt quite self conscious. As a coping mechanism I rebelled in my youth and spent a lot of time drinking and sleeping with guys.
I am now 19 and honestly believe I am fat and quite ugly, I am not thin at all, as size 12-14 hourglass shape and my measurements are 38-28-39. I am told that I am not ugly but I still believe I am, the problem is that I have always wanted to be shorter and skinnier. I have never had anorexia or bulimia but do go on binges and feel constantly guilty about how much I eat and how little I exercise. Everyone I know is smaller and thinner, I feel that when they watch me eat they feel disgusted so I tend to eat alone. I work incredibly hard and have trouble sleeping and as a result have almost no time to seek treatment, I need to be available everyday between 7am-3am to pick up emails and get work done as well as studying for my degree. If I did not do the work then I would be much worse. When I did not work so hard I was very depressed.
I also have a serve allergy condition and as a result have to take many antihistamines a day, this also means my skin regularly looks very unattractive due to the eczema and the urticharia. I also have stretch marks and my skin is very flabby and blotchy.
I am just so tired of hating myself and my appearance and I can't see how I can make it better. I have just been like this for too long to make me feel any different, no one can convince me otherwise.

Hi Em how are you?My name is Steve I'm really so sorry how you're feeling and what you're going through I can totally sympathize with you.I have had BDD for many years now and it's very severe also so I totally understand what you're going through.I've had three operations on my nose and still hate it so much,I'm about 170cm and have put on a fait bit of weight and hate how tall I am as well,also because I've put on a fair bit of weight from medications and poor diet.I know how distressing the condition makes you and I've been driven to the real severe depths all too often as well.I know all the pain about it so I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone.If you ever like you can talk to me about the condition how you're feeling etc etc I will always be here to talk to you anytime you like and anyone else also.

Hi EmStudent.
I would just like to tell you that you are not alone.
Have you ever been to your GP about how you feel and think?

After 'weaving' his new cabinet for six days he called in the scribes, announced the lucky ones and on the seventh day he rested. The day passed, the night passed. And the name of the Lord was glorified in yet another milestone in the challenging journey towards the Promised Land.
But there are mixed views regarding the drama which started in the august parliamentary session two weeks ago in which MPs sternly demanded government accountability.
Some analysts give credit to President Jakaya Kikwete who has, since coming to power, allowed the Controller and Auditor General's report to be closely scrutinized in Parliament by representatives of the wananchi.
However, critics don't think so. They are of the view that Kikwete's government has not taken any concrete steps to stop thievery and impunity since it came to power.
They think this country has, from time to time, experienced some cosmetic changes here and there meant to sweep the mess under the carpet to mollify a political crisis. Seasoned commentators suggest that such political gimmicks have a tendency to work miracles for the beneficiaries, at least for sometime, before they are blown away - like the colourful soap bubbles - by another inherent crisis.
The ruling party, CCM, is genuinely a survivour. In the first three decades of independence when it was TANU, and later on CCM, the party's survival hinged on principles that gave it genuine legitimacy. Despite some fundamental limitations to the application of its ideology, still the party had genuine support of the masses because it talked to them in their own language. Not any more.
The revival of the multiparty system, free market economy and, later on, the death of CCM's architect, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, left the party in disarray. In its bid to survive, the ruling party has used whatever magic trick available at its disposal to continue hanging on to power. But some of the tricks, which are now haunting the party, will eventually dig its grave.
As I have commented in the past, the ruling party epitomises a movement that encapsulates an odd combination of aristocrats, paupers, merchants, robbers, the deprived, the clergy, believers, atheists, toddlers, the senile, liberals, conservatives, traditionalists, socialists, capitalists, witches, the righteous, the nameless, royals, hustlers, conmen, peasants - and everybody else. Yet they constitute not more than a tenth of the entire population.
Although this trick – of inviting everybody in to fill the dock - was supposed to add strength to the party it, naturally, will turn out to be CCM's own undoing. Such a melting pot can hardly communicate using the same language.
In recent years it has become increasingly evident that even cabinet ministers can come out in public and disagree violently to the chagrin of the state.
During the strike by doctors early this year, President Kikwete acknowledged that some of his appointees did not see eye to eye. Some ministers do not talk to their deputies; some deputies do not talk to their permanent secretaries. Some directors appear more powerful than their permanent secretaries, etc.
In a melting pot of frogs, toads, snakes, tortoises, butterflies, birds, millipedes, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, mice, et al., expecting them to speaking the same language is expecting too much. Each species in such an island automatically ends up thinking about, and working towards, its own survival.
Because of this, as well as other reasons, the new cabinet may not necessarily be the solution to the chronic malaise afflicting this country. And since President Kikwete is coming to the end of his term, he should brace himself for some more embarrassing episodes of rebellion from his own appointees.
Of course there are those members of the melting pot who have been sidelined in this government who must also begin to plan for 2015. Those reading political trends in this country can clearly see that only a miracle will save the ruling party from the eventuality that is now all too obvious.
For any far-sighted CCM member, to salvage their party's political fortunes in the coming elections they might have to distance themselves from the current government.
They may have to do that either through dramatic resignations or by making bizarre statements that clearly contradict their own government but appease their voters.
Towards the end of this administration President Kikwete will be surprised to learn just how few trusted buddies he has had in his entire political career because already, to many of his aides, he no longer matters in the post-2015 politics. Mark my words.

Associated Press Release
KENDALL, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a 78-year-old South Florida man became so enraged when his wife refused to cook him a hamburger that he stabbed her to death.
Miami-Dade police say Bartolo Gelsomino confessed to killing his wife 71-year-old Ana Gelsomino on Jan. 21 and staging a burglary to cover up the crime. He faces second-degree murder charges and will be arraigned Feb. 11.
The Miami Herald reports the couple's daughter found her mother's body in the home.
As police searched the home, Gelsomino -- a Sicily-born man who primarily speaks Italian -- showed up. They noticed two possible blood stains on his shirt.
Gelsomino told police he stabbed his wife during an argument. He then led detectives to a trash bin in a nearby warehouse where he tossed the knife.

Under the new leadership of Xi Jinping and the Committee of Seven, China is taking aggressive new steps to become a major maritime power. These steps are linked to the revival of nationalism as a major theme in Chinese rhetoric.
Indeed, Premier Xi has adopted 'revival of the nation' as his first major slogan. His instrument will be naval supremacy and his target will be East Asian waters. Only the United States Seventh Fleet stands in his way. And with Barack Obama in office, that is a weak reed indeed as a basis for any kind of war-related deterrence.
Several East Asian countries are at risk in this unfolding Chinese 'lebensraum' aggressiveness. Vietnam, Japan, and the Philippines are foremost among them.
Effective January 1, 2013, China has authorized its maritime 'police' to board and to seize foreign vessels in waters surrounding the Paracel Islands. Ownership over these islands is claimed by Vietnam. Hanoi has already stepped up maritime patrols in this region. Chinese fishing vessels cut the cables of Vietnam's seismic survey ship last week.
On November 30, China communicated to the government of the Philippines its intention to station Chinese vessels permanently at the Scarborough Shoal. Ownership to this Shoal i claimed both by China and the Philippines. The area was the scene of a military standoff earlier this year.
China continues to challenge Japan's control over the Senkaku Islands, known as the Diaoyus by Beijing. Chinese maritime surveillance and fishing vessels loiter outside the 12-mile territorial limit, periodically crossing inside in a show of maritime muscle.
The question confronting the threatened nations is how to respond to the claws of the Chinese dragon. Failure to contest China's deployments risks conceding territorial claims under international law, such as that is. An overly aggressive response might provoke a shooting war. Only Japan would stand any chance of winning such a war, and that only with U.S. support.
Time to wake up from your campaign trail high, Mr. President and to send out some unambiguous messages to Beijing concerning just where the United States stands on matters affecting the Pacific theater. Time also to commission some new flat-tops to patrol those vulnerable waters.

Hey give it a shot, lots of tutorials here, enjoy the site
I just joined this forum to see what amazing maps you're all able to make.
Maybe, sometime in the future, I can learn to make maps like this myself, but at the moment everything looks like a blob.
So hi
Hey give it a shot, lots of tutorials here, enjoy the site
Well at some level, the real world looks like blobs, so don't sell yourself short. Really - portraiture takes some art, drafting takes some skill -- cartography benefits from both, but can be tackled with mostly determination. "Can't draw a straight line"? Fine - maps don't need many :-).
Welcome to the guild! What style(s) do you like, and for what purpose?
Welcome to the Guild! We'll help you get your blobs looking right.

Members of Parliament yesterday criticised the government for setting too many budget priorities for the coming financial year, saying this would not help promote economic growth in the country.
They were reacting to the 12 priorities outlined in a manual for preparing government plan and expenditure for the coming financial year tabled at the MPs seminar in Dar es Salaam by Finance Minister, Mustapha Mkulo indicating 11,970.4bn/- as pre- budget estimates for the coming financial year.
The legislators expressed concern that the outlined priorities were too many to be efficiently implemented given the current state of the economy.
The priority areas are education, agriculture, livestock and fisheries, energy, infrastructure development and industrial development.
Others are health, water, lands, housing and settlements, human resource development, science and technology, financial services and cross cutting issues.
Bariadi West Member of Parliament Andrew Chenge (CCM) said the government should select a few priorities which will be included in the five-year strategic development plan to make an impact on the economy.
"It is not that other priorities are of less importance, but the government should focus on areas which will promote growth of the economy," he said.
Chenge proposed the priorities as infrastructure, water, education, agriculture and health.
Wawi legislator Hamad Rashid (CUF) said the budget priorities outlined do not correspond with the five-year strategic development plan (2011/12-2015/2016).
He called on the government to be focused in selecting priorities which would help to boost the country's economy, recommending education, energy, agriculture and infrastructure as crucial economic drivers.
Rashid however, stressed discipline in decision making by holding accountable government officials who fail to implement government decisions.
A Member of Parliament for Ilala, Mussa Zungu (CCM) said the government should direct agricultural efforts to regions which receive sufficient rains to produce enough food for internal consumption and a surplus to sell outside the country.
"Currently, 'Kilimo Kwanza' is about power tillers …this is a plan for a few people …there are so many things to be done for the realisation of the initiative including investing in irrigation …the problem is not rain, it is about water management," Zungu insisted.
Singida East MP Tundu Lissu (Chadema) said the budget priorities were not effectively implemented, citing last year's budget for education whereby only 30bn/- out of 55bn/- was set aside for secondary and primary schools.
Nzega Member of Parliament Dr Hamis Kigwangwalla (CCM) said priorities should not exceed five for the country to build a self reliant economy.
He said the first priority should be stabilising energy followed by improvement of port infrastructure. The third priority should be boosting agriculture by investing in irrigation rather than power tillers and tractors.
The legislator for Mbozi –West Godfrey Zambi (CCM) said the budget plan should take into account the promises made by the president during the election campaigns such as provision of water, roads and energy to maintain public trust.
He also noted that the budget should consider the Abuja declaration on health that the budget should be 15 per cent and Maputo declaration which requires member countries to set aside 10 per cent of the budget for agriculture and one per cent for human resources development.
Meanwhile, Minister Mkulo told the MPs that there will be a deficit of 510,417m/- in this year's budget (2010/11) according to a government review.
He also said there will be an increase of 180,000m/- comprising salaries for the 9,226 newly employed secondary school and college teachers and salary increases for other public servants.
Mkulo said the government will be forced to slash the government expenditure budget by 510,417m/- to close the gap, explaining that 272,000m/- will be recovered from various charges of the Consolidated Fund and interest payments, while 238,417m/- will be deducted from various votes.

London is the capital of England and the United Kingdom. It was the city used in both the mission packs available for the original Grand Theft Auto game (GTA 1969 and GTA 1961). To date, London is the only real-life city to be used in a GTA game, as all others have been fictional cities based on real American cities (apart from Anywhere City); however, other real cities have been mentioned.
The temporal setting has been exploited through a number of cultural and historical references, including the appearance of a James Bond-like character and the use of more or less authentic slang. In addition, the cars drive on the left side of the road, as is the case in Britain, and authentic London place names were used.
In GTA London: 1969 and GTA London: 1961 we can see various landmarks from London, such as:
- Picadilly Circus
- Trafalgar Square
- Tower of London
- Jehad's Department Store
- Battersea Power Station
- Hyde Park
- Buckingham Palace
- Big Ben

Christmas may be two months away, but October 25 likely feels like Christmas for the families of 120 Fort Carson soldiers returning from a year-long deployment.
The 10th Combat Support Hospital were deployed to Afghanistan last October and dispersed to 15 locations within the country, where they helped provide medical care. Fort Carson says the work of the 10th CSH was a direct contributor to the 98 percent survival rate of the soldiers under their care.
The returning soldiers are expected to arrive at Fort Carson at 9:45 a.m. Any changes to their homecoming schedule can be found right here on kktv.com.

Oxycodone is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of oxycodone.
Acetaminophen and oxycodone is a combination medicine used to relieve moderate to severe pain.
Acetaminophen and oxycodone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Oxycodone can slow or stop your breathing. Never use this medicine in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Do not crush, break, or open an extended-release pill. Swallow it whole to avoid exposure to a potentially fatal dose. Narcotic pain medicine may also be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICATION CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant. Oxycodone may cause life-threatening addiction and withdrawal symptoms in a newborn.
Do not take more of this medicine than recommended. An acetaminophen overdose can damage your liver or cause death.
You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or oxycodone, or if you have recently used alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, or other narcotic medications. You should not use Xartemis XR if you have severe asthma or breathing problems, or a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus.
To make sure this medicine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
This medicine is more likely to cause breathing problems in older adults and people who are severely ill, malnourished, or otherwise debilitated.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. Oxycodone may cause breathing problems, behavior changes, or life-threatening addiction and withdrawal symptoms in your newborn if you use the medicine during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.
Acetaminophen and oxycodone may pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
In rare cases, acetaminophen may cause a severe skin reaction that can be fatal. This could occur even if you have taken acetaminophen in the past and had no reaction. Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling. If you have this type of reaction, you should never again take any medicine that contains acetaminophen.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
Acetaminophen and oxycodone is more likely to cause breathing problems in older adults and people who are severely ill, malnourished, or otherwise debilitated.
Common side effects include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with acetaminophen and oxycodone. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure these products do not contain alcohol.
This medicine may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine will affect you. Dizziness or severe drowsiness can cause falls or other accidents.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP.
Taking this medicine with other drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing can cause dangerous or life-threatening side effects. Ask your doctor before taking acetaminophen and oxycodone with a sleeping pill, narcotic pain medicine, muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety, depression, or seizures.
You should not take Xartemis XR if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and others.
Other drugs may interact with acetaminophen and oxycodone, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Oxycodone can slow or stop your breathing, especially when you start using this medicine or whenever your dose is changed. Never use this medicine in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. An overdose can damage your liver or cause death. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Oxycodone may be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Selling or giving away acetaminophen and oxycodone is against the law.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Do not crush, break, or open an extended-release pill. Swallow it whole to avoid exposure to a potentially fatal dose.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using this medicine. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Do not stop using this medicine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using acetaminophen and oxycodone.
Always check your bottle to make sure you have received the correct pills (same brand and type) of medicine prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine you receive at the pharmacy.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the medicine in a place where others cannot get to it. After you have stopped using this medication, flush any unused pills down the toilet.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Oxycodone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Never crush or break an acetaminophen and oxycodone pill to inhale the powder or mix it into a liquid to inject the drug into your vein. This practice has resulted in death with the misuse of oxycodone and similar prescription drugs.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose can be fatal, especially in a child or other person using this medicine without a prescription.
The first signs of an acetaminophen overdose include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, and confusion or weakness. Later symptoms may include pain in your upper stomach, dark urine, and yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.
Overdose symptoms may also include slow breathing and heart rate, severe drowsiness, muscle weakness, cold and clammy skin, pinpoint pupils, and fainting.
Since this medicine is used for pain, you are not likely to miss a dose. Skip any missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
