Hi, guys! Do you mind if I join up? SIAR pointed out this forum to me and mentioned it might be a good fit. I see lots of familiar faces and some new ones!
If you don't know my story, I started running in March 2012, ran Des Moines in October - shot for a 3:30 and ran a 3:32. Right now I am targeting the Green Bay marathon on May 19 as my Spring race. I am also registered to run Carmel on 4/20, but I decided to not run it when I developed some IT band trouble a month or so ago. I'm better now, and started training this past Monday. I am doing Pfitz 18/85 modified a bit. I look forward to getting to know those of you I don't know and cheering on you all as you train!
Tonight, my run is schedule dependent. If DH gets out of his deposition early, then it's 15; if it runs late, then whatever the schedule allows.
Go figure
Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
runmom - Those are some really fast times!! What was your fitness before you started running? Very impressive to get up to consistent 300+ months after about 6 months of training, let alone the marathon time you've already run.
Awww, thanks! I didn't work out at all. I was busy having babies!! The only time I ran as an adult (I'm 35) was post-partum for a few months, a few miles a pop, a handful of days a week until I lost the baby weight and then I quit. I was really not active at all as an adult. I did run track and cross country in high school, but I was pretty average/middle of the road. Nothing special. You are ridiculously fast though - holy smokes!!!!!! I can't even wrap my head around that kind of speed!
SIAR: Yes, I'm just going to eat the fee. It's a long drive and would be expensive to make the 5 or so hour trip down just to run the HM, you know? No biggie. I am OK with that! I am just praying that the weather in Green Bay is cool. It was black flagged last year. Carmel would've been a lock weather wise - no heat issues b/c it is on 4/20. That pacing opportunity is perfect for you. Can you remind me, which marathon are you running? I am drawing a blank...
Just B.S., Hope you catch up on your sleep. And, I'm right there with you abut the meds. But, that Ambien is good stuff. LOL!
SIAR, 17 miles for the day is impressive. Hope it felt easy despite being a lot of miles... I only have basic cable - like networks only. So, I've missed the tennis! Grrr! I've got to spring for fancier cable... I'm thinking I'll lock in a goal time after my tune up race on 2/17.
RMT3B, Welcome! It looks like we're following the same schedule but my goal race is coming up sooner. I'd be interested in knowing what mods to the schedule you were thinking of doing. I've cut a few miles on the long runs and have done some of the tempos as cruise intervals.

My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
Can I just say how annoying it is that there is so little scrapbooking stuff geared for running or triathalon's? Tons of football, soccer, baseball, tennis, karate, dance etc, etc ... You'd think with all the mud run's lately there'd at least be something that would work for those. But nope. I found one sticker sheet with some cycling stuff and one sticker sheet with pool swimming stuff. That was it. Boo. More scrapbooker's need to get off their rears and run and get their kids running too. Okay, rant is over.
SIAR - Sounds like a good run today and just what the brain ordered. In some ways, that is a quality workout.
Marco - Hurray for another 10 today! But -5 ... yikes!
Runmom - Welcome! Okay, I'm going to try and not be jealous that you just naturally started running that fast. Nope, still jealous. Lol! Good job on your first marathon! That really is an awesome time. Welcome to the group. Guess you're joining us with the SIAR stamp of
Jack - I agree with with runmom - you are crazy fast as well.
Julia - You can always alternate mantra's.
Julia/SIAR - Well I stupidly thought I would be fine in the rain last night, but cut my workout in half and stopped after the 4th 800. At least I got out there. I looked ahead today and saw that tonight was supposed to be fine, but, now it is rainy again. So, I guess it is 10 in the rain.
Pressing - Personnally, I think RMT3B is much faster than I am. And I'm jealous of all the miles she can run!
Pressing I'm not too much of one for the pre-made stuff. I usually make my own themes......here are a few
examples for you........anyone else who is bored to death with scrapbooking and preserving family memories
please feel free to ignore!
Our son, then 14 doing his first tri with 3 of his buddies,,,,,hence 3 tri athletes!LOL

Hi, guys. I am leaving for the show but wanted to give you a hello. I spent the whole afternoon at the chiro and the allergy doctor. So far, no horrible reaction to the shot. Hoping it remains that way.

Hey, I hear we (and by that I mean you) may get snow tomorrow. We (and by that I mean you) are gonna have to get up early to get our run in.
My good buddy, Channel 7 weatherman Doug Hill says us Frednecks aren't getting much if anything. You city slickers will get the most of it, I reckon.
fake it till you make it
DR I've never seen Cirque but would like to- have fun!
Scott- outdoor track? I have access to an indoor track but the hours are inconvenient and it's a 200m track. What I wouldn't give for access to an indoor 400m track.
NTS using my strictest mom voice here- be careful with that tweaky knee! Don't overdo it.
RVD I see you are doing Wobegon this year. That's my PR course from last year. Lots of people from my running group go and I'm a little bummed I'm not going this year. Tiny race but fabulously well done.
Julia- you are having great runs! And "this girl is on fire" is also a good mantra for you. My mantras generally involve lots of cursing while racing or finishing hard workouts.
JustBS- tempo/pace runs on those hills has to be good for you, but ouch!
Pressing- glad your son is on the mend. I still haven't done my core work today yet, how about you?
SIAR- nice mileage for the day!
Marco- with temps like that you could skip running altogether and still be in the more miles than degrees camp for the day!
Runmom welcome and yay I have another running log to go stalk...
Jack hope you have a good, if soggy, 10.
So Julia's comments about mantras has me thinking today. I'm feeling much more mentally psyched out (terrified!) this training cycle even though the running itself is fine. I think I so badly want to PR and had such a slow and painful last marathon (undertrained- was ready to be slow but not to hurt so much) that I'm making myself unnecessarily nervous. Anyone have any good psyching-up recommendations? I'm not a motivational quote/photo kind of gal but I need something a little more that my usual mantra of "harden the f* up!" I read Scott Jurek's book and he goes on and on about embracing/being one with the pain and I just want to train well enough to avoid as much pain as possible!
Scott- outdoor track? I have access to an indoor track but the hours are inconvenient and it's a 200m track. What I wouldn't give for access to an indoor 400m track.
I go to the high school my kids attend. Sometimes I have to hop the fence but no one really cares. They just lock the gate so if you hurt yourself and try to take the school to court they can say you were trespassing.
That said, I wimped out today and did my speed work on the TM at the gym. I actually had a really good workout though. I'm tired so I must have done something right!
Welcome runmomto3boys!!! I think I recognize you!
JenRose, I repeat to myself when the going gets hard I CAN, I WILL, I AM, repeat X 6,000
SIAR, I really am loving the swimming and I have been spending an inordinate amount of time watching
instructional videos and reading about technique. If I don't improve it won't be for lack of effort!LOL
I'm actually doing a "double" tomorrow. Swimming on my own in the afternoon and then hubby and I are going to
coached swim together at 6:15.
Hello, SCOTT, JACK, MARCO and all lovely Daily Friends!!!
Beth - Those are great pages! Thanks for the ideas. I was hoping for a few pre-made items because I am SOOO behind and wanted to have a few easy pages. Lol. And honestly, I love the stickers that look like tiny miniatures of things. They take me back to my dollhouse and miniatures days. Anyway, I will be mostly doing my own I'm afraid. Maybe if I'm brave I'll post a few photo's for you when I get back.
JenRosie - Um, no. Ha ha!

So the Plan is to rate the various Tournament Hosts here on the forums, and use that to determine how fast the hosts raise through the Tiers. Obviously, as this is the component to the Community Tournament Rules that has the most unknowns, it is the most likely to undergo changes in the upcoming weeks, but for now... gotta start somewhere.
EDIT: remember, you can pick up to 5 options, so effectively you can award the Host up to five 'points'. IE, just checking off one of the positive options is a score of '1' while checking off all 5 is a score of '5'.

A U.S. Senate committee is hearing about the military's attempt to delete information from a report about contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
The Senate Judiciary Committee heard from Jerry Ensminger of Elizabethtown, a retired Marine whose 9-year-old daughter died of leukemia in 1985. Ensminger told the committee that information the military wants to delete from a report could mean life or death for contamination victims.
Wells at Camp Lejeune were contaminated by fuel leaks and other sources before tests alerted officials to the problem. Health officials think as many as 1 million people may have been exposed to tainted water before the wells were closed.
Ensminger is testifying about the Marine Corps' request that information about the location of water systems be left out of a federal report.

This is an amazing book. I haven't read all of it yet but so far it's one of my top 25 books. And I read all most anything to do with history.

Hi all,
Just a little confused on an issue here and want to make sure it's working as intended. Let's say I play Star Dragon and my opponent plays Francis. Francis attacks but doesn't trigger Star Dragon's counter skill because it simply reduces Max Hp instead of doing damage. Is this the intended effect? Is max hp hate supposed to avoid counter skills? At least in the case of Francis, it works as an actual attack (as in executing the attack action), but doesn't seem to trigger a counter skill. I would argue that any reduction of the current HP should trigger a counter skill, as opposed to a reduction in max hp that doesn't reach the current hp threshold, but that's just me.

WASHINGTON – A woman was sexually assaulted during a burglary Thursday afternoon and D.C. police are looking for the four armed men who broke into her home.
The men entered the woman's apartment in the 4100 block of South Capitol Street SW about 5:30 p.m. They produced weapons and one of the men assaulted her, police say.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the apartment may have been targeted.
"We do think that there was some thought that somebody else may be at that location. So it's not a complete random crime," she said.
All four men were black and wore motorcycle style gloves.
One of the men had a foot-long knife with a white and black handle. He was in his late 20s, about 5-foot-10, had shoulder-length dreads, and a medium complexion. He was last seen wearing a black Ed Hardy hoody, blue jeans, black Nike boots, and a black mask covering the lower half of his face.
A second burglar was also in his late 20s, had a light complexion, short hair and was wearing a black hoody, blue jeans and black Nike boots.
Complete descriptions were not available for the other two burglars, police said.
Police believe the four men left in two different vehicles possibly a blue sedan and a green sedan.
Anyone with information about the burglary and armed sexual assault are asked to call police at 202-727-9099.

Farmers agree to tax those who deplete groundwater
In the early 1990s, bumper stickers throughout this valley screamed "STOP AWDI" -- shorthand for American Water Development Inc., Canadian millionaire Maurice Strong's company, which wanted to sell the groundwater underneath his local ranch to distant cities. Farmers and ranchers allied with environmentalists, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and even a New Age ashram in protest, fearing that exporting water would obliterate crops, pastures and wetlands used by migratory birds. Locals overwhelmingly approved a tax to help fund a lawsuit against the plan. At a courthouse rally, musician Don Richmond crooned:
Some of us have taken only what we need,
Some of us have seen the need turn into greed,
Some of us would sell our future down the drain,
Washed down by water from the land of little rain.
Strong lost, and a few years later, a similar water-export scheme was similarly skunked. People here had accomplished something remarkable: Together, they resisted the pressure to grow cities with water once used to grow crops.
"That's always been the fear -- that we're going to lose our water to somebody else," says seed potato grower Brian Brownell. And there is water to lose, even in this high-desert valley southwest of Colorado Springs. It receives less rain than Phoenix -- a mere seven inches or so annually. But what it lacks aboveground it makes up for below: A deep artesian aquifer and a shallower underground reservoir store vast amounts of water. Wells punched into the artesian pool, which is trapped and pressurized by a clay cap, once flowed as freely as 19th century oil gushers, freezing into ice towers in winter that transformed parts of the valley into a sprawling, frozen sculpture garden.
But those sopping glory days are gone. For the last decade, the Rio Grande Basin, which the valley crowns, has endured record-setting drought. The aquifers are rapidly draining, pulling river and stream levels after them. If the farmers who use these aquifers don't begin to turn things around, the state's water regulators could shut off thousands of wells -- a devastating economic blow.
The West is thick with similar stories, with groundwater loosely policed and especially vulnerable to the tragedies that befall common resources -- problems that will only worsen in the drier years that climate change is expected to usher in. What's different here is the response: Instead of denying or ignoring the problem, farmers are facing the fact that agriculture has outgrown its water supply. They admit they must live within new limits, or perish. Determined to avoid state intervention, they've created an innovative irrigation market, charging themselves to pump and using that money to pay others to fallow their land. Thousands of acres have come out of production, and their sights are set on fallowing tens of thousands more.
Brian Brownell is among those cutting back. When I visited last September, the valley's potato harvest was in full swing, and dust clouds over fields where farmers were exhuming spuds were visible from miles away. Dust also levitated above a field on Brownell's farm, but nothing was being harvested. Instead, the Sudan grass he'd planted was being hacked to pieces and tilled into the soil. He'd received $96,000 for putting 480 of his 1,680 acres into this "green manure" instead of a more water-hungry and profitable commercial crop.
"Everybody's pumping too much water," he said. His gray sideburns bristled on tanned skin, and his lips curved down in thought. "People have to start to buy in to the community thing, instead of 'me,' 'my farm,' 'my deal.' "
This time, farmers are scrambling to save local agricultural not from outsiders who covet their water, but from themselves.
"It's only going to work," said Brownell, "if everybody does something to save the water."
The San Luis Valley's 8,000 square miles are flat as plywood, hemmed in by the San Juan Mountains to the west, and to the east by the Sangre de Cristos, a dramatic wall of serrated peaks edged by sand dunes that seem plucked from a North African desert. The valley's 46,000 residents live in scattered small towns, beneath lonely willows and cottonwoods, and around highway outposts where a few stores merit a mark on a map. It's a tough place to live, and attracts some unconventional folks: The valley is home to hot springs (and a communal kitchen) frequented by nudists, an alligator farm, a community of 1,500 with 23 spiritual centers, and a UFO watchtower unimpaired by light pollution, where camping costs $10 a night.
But mostly, there are farms -- big ones. The center-pivot sprinklers here are among the most tightly packed in the world, and their hulking aluminum spines give the valley floor the illusion of topography. The annual harvest -- largely potato, barley and alfalfa -- is worth some $300 million, and without it, a number of the towns probably wouldn't exist. There are no mines, no ski resorts, no gas wells. Alamosa, the biggest town at 8,937 residents, boasts a small college and a hospital. Almost everything else -- the fertilizer and tractor dealers, the Safeway, the county governments and K-12 schools -- is supported primarily by money from the fields.
At a more basic level, everything runs on irrigation water. From the 1850s, when Hispanic settlers dug the first ditches, until the 1950s, most of that water was diverted from the Rio Grande and its tributaries and flooded onto fields. Then, drought and technological innovation spurred a well-drilling boom. Groundwater nursed crops through dry years and the late season, when rivers shrank. Soon, center-pivot sprinklers were hooked up to wells, watering crops evenly and efficiently all season long, and many farmers started irrigating exclusively with wells, using river water merely to recharge the aquifer. Marginal land became profitable, crop yields -- and water consumption -- grew, and large-scale commercial agriculture came into its own.
For decades, the Colorado Division of Water Resources, also called the State Engineer's Office, granted well permits as generously as dentists dispense toothbrushes, ignoring basic hydrology. The water in the ground and the rivers was connected, and voracious well-pumping could lower streamflows -- a serious problem, since the river water was already claimed. Following the logic of prior appropriation -- the Westwide system that gives priority to those with the oldest water rights -- wells that were connected to streams should only pump after older river irrigators are sated. But the opposite happened. In the late '60s, the state clamped down on river irrigators to comply with the Rio Grande Compact, which requires Colorado to leave water in the river for Texas and New Mexico. Well owners, meanwhile, pumped happily away.
In 1975, the State Engineer tried to phase out a slew of wells, but a court encouraged a softer approach. Wells were drilled in the valley's "closed basin," where streams don't drain to the Rio Grande. They sipped gingerly from a high water table, "salvaging" what would otherwise evaporate and piping it to the river. The Closed Basin Project seemed like a win-win: Wells kept pumping, river irrigators got water, and regulators backed off. It produced less water than expected, but the '80s and '90s were so wet that few people cared. Mother Nature bought rounds for everyone.

Lynsey Addario is a photojournalist based in Istanbul, Turkey, where she works for National Geographic, the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, Fortune, and other publications. She was born on November 13, 1973, in Norwalk, Connecticut.
Addario graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1995 with a B.A. degree in international relations. With no professional photography training, she began photographing in 1996 for the Buenos Aires Herald in Argentina, where she worked for one year before returning to her home base in New York. In 1997, she began freelancing for the Associated Press, where she was a regular contributor for three years. While in New York, she completed several overseas projects, including traveling to Havana to work on a series of photo essays about the influence of capitalism on young Cubans. She returned to Cuba the following year for Pope John Paul II's visit and every year thereafter until 2002, documenting life under one of the last communist regimes.
In January 2000, she moved to New Delhi, where she was based for eight months, covering India, Afghanistan under Taliban rule, Pakistan, and Nepal for the Associated Press, the Boston Globe, and the Houston Chronicle. In April 2001, Addario moved to Mexico City, where she worked primarily for the New York Times while continuing to photograph a steady stream of international features outside the country. After the events of September 11, 2001, she returned to South Asia, where she covered the war in Afghanistan and the resulting women's education issues there.
Addario moved to Istanbul to cover the Middle East in January 2003. The following month, she traveled to northern and central Iraq, where she spent almost seven months covering the war for several magazines. She continued her Iraq coverage for the New York Times until early 2005 while simultaneously covering the ongoing conflict in Darfur. Since 2004, she has traveled to the troubled area several times, maneuvering around the Sudanese refugee camps in Chad and through burned-out, abandoned villages in Darfur, where she documented internally displaced people and rebel groups. In 2004, she also extended her coverage of the Middle East to women's issues in Saudi Arabia, while shooting other features in Turkey, Libya, South Africa, and Lebanon.
She recently completed a series on infant mortality, juvenile justice, sexual assault of minors, malnutrition, and education in countries across Africa for the New York Times.
Addario has won a number of awards, including a 1999 Award of Excellence from Pictures of the Year. In March 2002, Photo District News magazine named her one of the 30 best emerging photographers in the world. That year, the International Center of Photography presented her with the Infinity Award as Young Photographer of the Year.
Her photo essays and single images from Iraq, Mexico, and Pakistan have been featured in the American Photo Annual "Best Of" editions in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Her work earned her a coveted place in a World Press Master Class in Amsterdam. And in 2005, she was honored as a Fuji Young Photographer in Perpignan, France. Addario is also a recipient of the Soros Foundation Grant.

A protagonist is the main character of a story, and the main playable character in the Grand Theft Auto games.
Traditionally, a protagonist is the main figure of a piece of literature or drama and has the main part or role. Alternatively, the phrase denotes a primary advocate or proponent for a cause or movement. The main character can be a hero or a villain in a story - it is just the character with the lead role. In literature, the protagonist is characterized by his/her ability to change or evolve.
It should be pointed out that the protagonist is not always the hero of the story, as implied in the Grand Theft Auto games, where they are sometimes called as anti-hero. They may commit crimes of some sort, (which the protagonists of the GTA games certainly do) but he/she is still considered the lead character, and is known to help out his/her friends, allies or close associates.
The protagonists between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto IV share similar qualities. Most protagonists are new to town, either returning after a long time gone (such as Carl Johnson and Toni Cipriani) or have never been to the city before (such as Claude, Tommy Vercetti, Victor Vance and Niko Bellic). The protagonists usually start with nothing, with minimal influence and reputation, having to do odd jobs around for various small-timers, gaining friends and allies (like Maria Latore, Asuka Kasen, Avery Carrington, Wu Zi Mu, and Little Jacob) before moving up the social and economical ladder, attempting to rise through the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. They eventually start establishing a name for themselves in the town, doing real jobs, making bigger and more powerful friends and business partners, and cutting real deals as their prominence, respect, money, and reputation begins to grow, until they end the game on top of the city, or at least with some powerful business and/or friends. An abnormal protagonist would be Luis Fernando Lopez who has always lived in Liberty City and has already established a name, powerful friends, and is high up on the social and economical ladder at the start of the game. Protagonists have a consistent distaste of drugs, and while deal and work with them, never intentionally use them (This may change however after the release of Grand Theft Auto V, since one of the new protagonists - Trevor to be exact - is prone to violence by his drug addiction).
- Main article: Antagonist
The opposite of a protagonist is an antagonist, which is the main enemy of the protagonist and works against the protagonist and his actions. Again, this can be a villain or a hero, though usually a villain.
The main antagonists of the Grand Theft Auto games are usually introduced very early in the story, usually as the protagonist's friend or acquaintance until a major, personal betrayal (like Catalina, Sonny Forelli, Big Smoke, Jerry Martinez and Dimitri Rascalov) these betrayals can be done by not just main antagonists but antagonists in general. They are usually seen, heard, or mentioned throughout the game, moving against the protagonists' plans or goals, while the protagonist continues his quest for vengeance, and will not appear after their betrayal until they are finally confronted in some big event by the protagonist at the end of the game and will be killed thus completing his problems and wraps up the main storyline mission. An abnormal antagonist is Massimo Torini; he makes the least amount of appearances than all the other antagonists in the other games (only 2 mission appearances).
Current list of GTA protagonists
List of Ally Groups
Protagonist: Claude
Group: None
Group reason: While Claude does maintain a close friendship and working relationship with the Yakuza and the Leone Family over the course of the game, he always acts freelance and never makes a commitment to any gang. He also maintains relations with the Southside Hoods, who at the end of the game become one of the few gangs not hostile to Claude.
Protagonist: Tommy Vercetti
Group: Vercetti Gang
Group reason: Tommy founded the Vercetti gang after taking over Ricardo Diaz's empire in Vice City. The actual name "Vercetti Gang" spawned when Tommy bought Kaufman Cabs and Delores tells the employees that the "Vercetti Gang" owns it now, and then the name sticks. Tommy also maintains good relations with Umberto's Cuban Street gang and Mitch Baker's Vice City Bikers gang.
Protagonist: Carl Johnson
Group: Grove Street Families
Group reason: Carl's brother, Sweet, is a leader of the gang and therefore makes Carl the underboss. Carl has friendly relationships with the Triad leader Wu Zi Mu, and Varrios Los Aztecas leader Cesar Vialpando.
Protagonist: Mike
Group: None
Group reason: Mike, like Claude, also maintains close friendships with some gangs yet has never made a commitment to one as he is first working for the Mafia yet is allies with Cisco, the leader of the Columbian Cartel.
Protagonist: Toni Cipriani
Group: Leone Family
Group reason: Toni's parents possibly were in the Leone Family (as hinted by his mother in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories), but it is never given how he joined the family. He is close friends with Don Salvatore Leone and is made Caporegime later in the game and keeps his position well into GTA III.
Protagonist: Victor Vance
Group: Vance Crime Family
Group reason: After leaving the Trailer Park Mafia, Vic and his brother Lance, who would become Vance Crime Family Underboss, started the gang to make money for their asthmatic brother Pete and rise up in the criminal enterprise. Victor begins to work for the Mendez' organization and Diaz' organization in order to increase his influence. Victor also maintains good relationship with Umberto Robina's gang.
Protagonist: Niko Bellic
Group: None
Group reason: Like with Claude and Mike, Niko works freelance and even though he befriends several gang leaders he does not commit himself to only one. The Jamaican Posse and the McReary Mob have and will always be allied with Niko due to his friendships with Little Jacob and Packie McReary. Niko also has a sort of connection with and receives protection from the Gambetti Family after he forms a bond with their leader, Jon Gravelli shortly before his death. He can also have connections with the North Holland Hustlers, if the player chooses to kill Playboy X instead of Dwayne Forge.
Protagonist: Johnny Klebitz
Group: The Lost Brotherhood
Group reason: Johnny is the Vice President of The Lost biker gang, and is a full on member as well. He also was best friends with Billy Grey, the President of The Lost, until the latter was imprisoned and the presidential torch passed to Johnny.
Protagonist: Luis Fernando Lopez
Group: Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers
Group reason: Luis works for Anthony Prince, who isn't a part of any specific organization. He is also friends with the Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers' members Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas, and depending other the player, can spend time building up their drug empire.
Protagonist: Huang Lee
Group: Algonquin Triads
Group reason: Huang's father was head of the gang before he was killed for the Yu Jian Sword.
Protagonist: Michael
Group: None
Group reason: Altough he is a friend of Franklin, which is a gang member, Michael is not part of any group.
Protagonist: Franklin
Group: Grove Street Families
Group reason: He owns a house in that gang's area and he was probably born there.
Protagonist: Trevor
Group: None
Group reason: He doesn't haves many friends, which leads him to operate alone most of the time.
- Niko , Johnny , Luis and Huang have criminal records in the LCPD Database, and each have the crime "Grand Theft Auto" listed.
- From GTA III onwards, every protagonist (aside from Mike, Johnny Klebitz, Luis Fernando Lopez, Michael, Franklin and Trevor Phillips) begins the game either new to the specific location, or has returned after a long time away.
- Niko, Claude and Mike are so far the only protagonists of any GTA game to work freelance (not a member of any particular organization).
- All of the protagonists in GTA IV and the expansion packs has long sleeve shirts/suits/jackets and cannot have a short sleeve shirt.
- A graffiti design throughout the city in GTA IV suggests that all the protagonists from the GTA III era are deceased, with the names "Claude ", "Tommy", "Carl", "Toni" and "Vic" alongside remembrance graffiti. However, this is not necessarily saying they have died (although Victor Vance has been canonically killed), it is possibly just a way of saying that the GTA III era is over, and the characters will not be featured in the future.
- All of the protagonists in GTA IV and the expansion packs has had some sort of relation to the armed forces: Niko was once a soldier, Johnny Klebitz's brother is in the armed forces, and Luis Fernando Lopez's father was a marine.
- Niko , Johnny , and Luis are eventually linked to the museum story, Niko and Johnny selling diamonds for Ray Boccino, while Luis breaks the deal while shooting the Jewish Mob.
- Michael is the only protagonist to be married and have children.
- All protagonists are right-handed.
- Luis Fernando Lopez and Huang Lee are the youngest protagonist in the GTA Series to date.
- Michael and Trevor are the oldest protagonist in the GTA Series to date.
- Carl Johnson and Franklin are the only fully African-American protagonists in GTA history.
- Trevor is the only GTA protagonists to take drugs and not by force either.
- Michael, Franklin and Trevor Phillips are the only HD Universe protagonists who are friends.
- Claude and Mike are the only two protagonists, without a surname.
- Victor Vance is the only protagonist in the Grand Theft Auto series that has confirmed death, being killed during the opening cutscenes of GTA Vice City.

Strange Cooking Contests: Amateur Cook-Offs Gone Wild
This event, located in quaint Danville, Kentucky, is new on the scene, but promises to become a major player in the barbecue festival world in the coming years. Brad Simmons, half of the husband-and-wife team behind this fest, says he and his other half started the festival last year simply as a way to "share the love of barbecue." He and wife Cindy originally thought about hosting a block party, which quickly morphed into a massive event — at the 2013 event (only their 3rd), which will take place September 7-8, they're expecting 40,000 to 50,000 people, with 9 live bands to entertain them, and over 6,000 pounds of meat to satisfy their barbecue cravings. New this year is the Char-Broil Tru-Infrared Tour, which will host contests, give away barbecue-themed swag, and cook and pass out samples to attendees.
This event boasts no cooking competition — as do many of the others on our list — but there is an eating triathlon (which ends in a barbecue sauce-covered slip and slide) for the more ambitious attendees. Brad, Cindy, and their volunteers partnered with the United Way, so much of the proceeds from all this delicious, barbecue-themed indulgence go to an excellent cause.
This free festival (free!) in Henderson, Kentucky, is one of the largest blues music events in the country. Though it is run by the Henderson Music Preservation Society and the majority of the festival is focused on the music, opening day features the "Taste of Henderson Barbecue" event in Henderson's Central Park. A pig roast and barbecue competition gives attendees a chance to taste some amazing eats prepared by local teams while enjoying the outdoors and the sounds of the blues. Another highlight is Zydeco night, where attendees can enjoy this distinctive style of music, as well as authentic Cajun cuisine.

Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
this wiki
Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is a game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco-Bandai games for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It was released on March 8th 2013 in Europe, March 5th in North America, and will be released on April 18th in Japan. The game starts with a flashback from the beginning of the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha and then starts with the Five Kage Summit Arc, ending when the tailed beasts are resealed in the Shinobi World War Arc. In Europe, the game is available in a "Will of Fire Edition" and "True Despair Edition".
Namco Bandai stated that the game will feature a 'more profound' story and a combat system that is 'aimed to further evolution'. Other than the usual form of Awakening, renamed Adversity Awakening, the game introduces a new element called Instant Awakening where players can go into awakening mode at any point during the battle, even in the middle of a combo. The down side of being in an Instant Awakened state is that it depletes a player's chakra. If a player depletes their chakra completely while in an Instant Awakening, they will have to wait for a period before being able to charge their chakra. Also characters who are awakened can now be grabbed or hit by an ultimate jutsu.
Similar to Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3, and other Naruto Wii games, characters can now be knocked out of the ring, but in this game, unless a support character is sacrificed, this will always result in an automatic loss of the match. Also, there will be stage destruction in addition to ring outs. It's also confirmed that there is a new addition in the Team Attack System as the player can now use their support characters to get ready to charge and attack. Also, support characters now have health bars and once their health is depleted, the support player can no longer be used and their body will remain on the stage lifeless.
Boss battles will also make their return to the game. The game will also have the return of missions in Konoha during story mode. The story mode will also feature "hack and slash" battles, similar to Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Impact. There will be a new system known as "The Ultimate Decision", where players will be able to follow two different paths in the game.
Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 was first announced by Namco Bandai Games in June 2012 in the manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. With the official announcement, Yusuke Sasaki from Namco Bandai promised improvements regarding the fighting system and the story mode. CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama also promised the return of "epic boss battles" that were absent in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations.
In August 2012, CyberConnect2 started a new suggestion form in their official website, requesting players from all the world their opinions regarding what they would like to see in Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 and upcoming Naruto games they would release. In July 2012, Comic-Con International, Namco Bandai Games America representatives confirmed plans for a Spring 2013 release in North America.
In October 28, London MCM Expo, CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama announced a card edition, a poster, Naruto Goku DLC costume, the original Naruto Storm 3 soundtrack, the Naruto Storm 3 game, a figurine by Banpresto, and a Naruto edition and a Sasuke edition. They also stated that those who pre-order will get five free downloadable costumes, including Armoured Naruto.
In January 4, 2013, Hiroshi Matsuyama announced that there will be over 80 playable characters. In February 6, 2013, CyberConnect2 announced that blood will also be featured in the game since its rated T for Teen.
Non-Canon Game Ending
As the war is still on-going in the anime and manga, a non-canon ending to the story was made.
Defeated, Tobi, Madara and Kabuto fall back, thus giving victory to the Allied Shinobi Forces. The Five Great Shinobi Countries shinobi return to their villages while Kage discuss on preparing for a counterattack against Madara's group along with bettering the peace between them and their countries. Naruto is congratulated for his victory upon awakening from his battle with Tobi in Konoha and is spurred by the spirits of his parents to join his friends.

- Hiroshi Matsuyama, president of CyberConnect2, mentioned in an interview that, other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, there would be no characters from Part I. This is not true, due to the fact that Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju and Kimimaro are playable, as well as the Part I iterations of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, Lee, Hinata and Gaara. However, it was revealed that what Matsuyama said was mistranslated. He meant to say that not all of the Part I characters would return in Storm 3.
- While wearing the Goku costume, Naruto's Rasengan and Sage Art: Many Ultra-Big Ball Spiralling Serial Spheres techniques are used in a similar matter to the Kamehameha and Father-Son Kamehameha respectively, though the latter's Secret Action extends to "Armoured" Naruto as well.

WASHINGTON – A 17-year-old has been charged with robbery and theft in connection with three incidents related to ads on Craigslist.
Howard County police say the Ellicott City suspect placed an ad on Craigslist selling an iPhone 5.
In the first incident, the teen met with a woman in the 5300 block of Kerger Road to sell the phone. After the victim discovered the iPhone 5 box was empty, the suspect pushed her to the ground, grabbed her money and ran. The woman was able to grab the suspect's backpack, which contained a student ID card.
In a second incident, the suspect arranged a trade of an iPhone 5 for an electronic gaming system. The suspect asked to test the system, which resulted in the theft of the system.
The suspect was also linked to an unreported theft of $200 from another victim responding to a Craigslist ad.
The teen has been charged with three counts of theft, robbery, second-degree assualt and operating a theft scheme.
Howard County police remind residents to use caution when responding to Craigslist ads and recommends the following:
