Your smile depends on simple dental care habits, such as brushing and flossing. But are you using the right techniques? Follow these steps to protect your oral health.
Oral health begins with clean teeth. Keeping the area where your teeth meet your gums clean can prevent gum disease, while keeping your tooth surfaces clean can help you stave off cavities. Consider these brushing basics from the American Dental Association:
You can't reach the tight spaces between your teeth and under the gumline with a toothbrush. That's why daily flossing is important. When you floss:
As long as you do a thorough job, it doesn't matter if you brush or floss first. However, flossing before brushing might allow more fluoride from your toothpaste to reach between your teeth.
In addition to daily brushing and flossing, consider using an antimicrobial mouth rinse or a mouth rinse containing fluoride to promote oral health.
To remove food particles from your teeth that aren't dislodged by flossing or brushing, you might try an oral irrigator — a device that aims a stream of water at your teeth. Resist the temptation to use toothpicks or other objects that could injure your gums. Keep in mind, however, that an oral irrigator doesn't replace daily brushing and flossing, since it doesn't remove plaque.
To prevent gum disease and other oral health problems, schedule regular dental cleanings and exams. In the meantime, contact your dentist if you notice any signs or symptoms that could suggest oral health problems, such as:
Remember, early detection and treatment of problems with your gums, teeth and mouth can help ensure a lifetime of good oral health.

Serves 4 to 6
If there's anything that's literally short and sweet, it's corn season. So when sweet summer corn is available, eat it almost every day! This salad gets its smokiness from the roasted corn, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
Prepare a charcoal grill.
Grill the corn and peppers 4 inches from the coals, turning occasionally, until the skins of the peppers are black, the corn husks are black, and the corn kernels are light golden when the husk is pulled back, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill. Transfer the peppers to a paper or plastic bag, close tightly, and let cool for 10 minutes. Let the corn cool.
Remove the corn husks and silk. Cut the kernels from the cob and set aside. Scrape the skin from the peppers with a knife. Reserve the skinned peppers separately from the corn.
In a blender, puree the peppers, tomato, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil to make a vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, strain through a fine mesh strainer, and reserve.
On individual serving plates, divide the vinaigrette evenly among the plates. In a large bowl, toss together the corn and arugula and distribute onto the plates. Garnish with the olives and cherry tomatoes. Shave the Parmigiano over the top. Serve immediately.

CGTextures.com has a ton of metal plates and so on. The only thing with them is they have some rules if you want to use them. Like you have to put a reference on your image.
alternatively you can just create your own metallic plating in Gimp or PS which it looks like you use. Requires a bit of artistic skill but you might do just great.
Btw, this looks pretty cool but it's really dark.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Police hope surveillance video inside a fast food restaurant robbed early Wednesday will help identify the culprits.
Investigators responded to the crime at the White Castle in the 4500 block of South Kingshighway around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday and were told by employees that two men, one with a gun entered the business and jumped over the service counter.
One of the two bandits then took the cash drawer from the register before both of the men fled on foot.
Witnesses say the two robbers were both wearing cloths over their faces and hooded sweatshirts. No injuries were reported in the incident.
Anyone with any information in the case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS.

The country is arguing a case brought by Australia to the United Nations' highest judicial organ that seeks to outlaw its annual killing of hundreds of whales in Antarctic waters.
"It is true that Japan takes and kills whales," the country's deputy foreign minister, Koji Tsuruoka, told the International Court of Justice, on the first day of arguments. "Should we be ashamed of it? Even if some people believe we should, that does not mean we are in breach of international law."
Tsuruoka implicitly accused Australia of launching the case to impose on Japan its cultural aversion to whaling rather than to right an international legal wrong.
"It falls to the court to rule on the lawfulness of the acts undertaken by states, not on their morality or their ethical value," he said. "For some people, whales are sacred animals like cows are for Hindus. Religions and cultures perceive animals in different fashions."
Under a 1946 treaty regulating whaling, nations can grant permits to kill whales for scientific research.
Lawyers for Australia argue that Japan's scientific whaling program was set up simply to sidestep a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling.
"No other nation, before or since, has found the need to engage in lethal scientific research on anything like this scale," Australian Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson told the judges last week. Australia argues that such research can be carried out without killing whales.
But Tsuruoka said the hunt is designed to provide the International Whaling Commission with valuable data that would allow it to grant a resumption of whaling in a sustainable way, unlike the mass carnage of unregulated whaling that pushed many species of the giant marine mammals to the brink of extinction in the last century.
Lawyer Alain Pellet, representing Japan, also argued that the court does not even have jurisdiction to hear the case because Australia has expressed reservations in the past about the court's jurisdiction in maritime cases.
Geert Vons, of the Dutch arm of the Sea Shepherd conservation group that has battled Japanese whalers on the high seas for years, dismissed Japan's scientific justification for authorizing the hunting of minke, fin and humpback whales—though no humpback whales have been killed.
"How can science hold if it means the killing of these three species which are on the list of endangered species?" he said. "It does not make sense."
Hearings in The Hague are scheduled to wrap up July 16 and the 16-judge world court will take months to issue a judgment.
Australia is hoping it could come before year's end so that if judges rule to ban whaling it would be in time to prevent the Japanese fleet setting off for Antarctic waters next Southern Hemisphere summer.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is curtailing his campaign schedule as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the Eastern seaboard, canceling planned appearances Monday night and all day Tuesday.
Campaign officials say vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan will also scrap campaign rallies during the same time frame.
The decision was announced a short while after President Barack Obama canceled a planned rally in Florida to fly back to Washington, where aides said he would oversee the government's response to the threat posed by the storm.
Romney intends to go ahead with speeches today in Ohio and Iowa before he begins observing his self-imposed storm-related moratorium on campaigning.
The former Massachusetts governor and Obama are locked in a close race, eight days before Election Day.

This crime is just mean. A two year old boy's Christmas presents were stolen. Now, the family wants to warn others.
Jeff and Linda Thompson were keeping their grandson's gifts in a storage facility in the Security-Widefield area so he wouldn't find them in their home. Over the weekend, those gifts were stolen.
"It's one thing to break in there and take my stuff that would've been fine. But to take a baby's toys, at Christmas to me that's just wrong," Linda Thompson said.
Thompson told 11 News their two year old grandson, Maddox, loves to run around their home. He's been sick the last few days so they agreed to give him a present early. That's when they discovered the break-in at their storage unit.
"I just want to know why, it's just not right not at Christmas and not a little boy's stuff," Thompson said.
She said they spent $250 on toys and for them to be stolen, is heartbreaking.
"Luckily we can replace these toys but what about the families that can't afford to pay for Christmas twice; you shouldn't have to pay for it twice just because someone wants to steal your stuff, that's just wrong," Thompson said.
The toys weren't the only things stolen. Thompson said the crooks also took D.J. equipment, and NASCAR memorabilia.
We talked to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and a corporate spokesperson for the storage company, both said the Thompson's unit is the only reported break-in over the weekend.
The bottom line, if you have a storage unit, be sure to get insurance on your property. A lot of storage places require it now, but it's a good way to protect yourself if this ever happens to you.
The sheriff's office added people shouldn't store any sentimental items in your storage unit, things that can't be replaced.

M&Ms T-shirt Red
Personalized Christmas Ornament$13.00
Having personalities that are all their own, the computer animated spokescandies for M&Ms by Mars are fun to watch in commercials. The red candy has the largest personality of the bunch including being cynical, sarcastic and clearly scorned, probably due to the lack of affection the green M&M showed him! Originally voiced by comedian Jon Lovitz, the red is the mascot for the flagship milk chocolate brand of M&Ms. He is a true original! A personalized M&M ornament is a great gift for the sarcastic guy in your life that sympathizes with the red M&M's plight. This adorable glass M&M shirt ornament is for the red M&M lover or anyone who's favorite color is red.
Material: Glass

Planning · Environment · Real Estate
Economic development refers to the policies and actions that promote economic goals within a specific geographic area. The term "economic development" has no specific definition in the Federal-aid highway program. However, the Declaration of Policy in 23 USC 101 states that "transportation should play a significant role in promoting economic growth, improving the environment, and sustaining quality of life."
The economic goals that transportation policies and projects can support are generally determined by local priorities. They are often very specific to needs identified by local decision makers, such as to increase overall employment in a local area, increase employment in a specific industry or economic sector, or increase employment within a specific area (e.g., in an identified "enterprise zone").
Some measures of economic growth and quality of life include things such as:
While these are useful indicators of the direction of the economy or as information for decision makers, they can be misunderstood or misused. For instance, construction jobs appear as a cost in some economic analyses, but as a benefit in others. And economic growth can be distinct from economic development. Relocated jobs are economic development for the area that receives them, but only considered growth nationally if they represent new activity that did not previously exist.
There are several tools available for planners to examine the economic effects of projects and plans, but one must be aware of what they estimate and their limitations.
Benefit-cost analysis monetizes the benefits and costs of a project or policy, which allows comparison of alternatives in a common measure. It looks at the full range of benefits and costs that would result to residents of the United States from an action (e.g., a highway project) undertaken. The benefits and costs are discounted over the appropriate time frame, and compared for various alternatives. Benefit-cost analysis measures the efficiency of a project. A benefit-cost (B/C) ratio of 1.0 or greater indicates that society is better off with the investment (i.e., it is "efficient"), whereas one with a ratio lower than that means society would be paying more for the project that what it will yield. While the B/C ratio is a useful piece of information, the size of the net benefits--the absolute difference between projected benefits and costs--allow a better comparison of the efficiency of various alternatives.
Cost-effectiveness is related to benefit-cost analysis. It compares the costs of various alternatives that achieve a specific level of benefit (for example, the relative cost of options that reduce fatalities in a corridor to a certain level). The option that achieves the target level at the lowest cost would thus be the most cost-effective.
Economic impact analysis (EIA) looks at the effects a project or policy has on the economy and economic relationships within that economy. These analyses can be performed at various levels of analysis, including nationally, regionally, or even locally. In effect, EIA uses complex economic models that look at economic transactions within the economy that result from a project or policy and estimate economic outcomes. These models are often based on input-output (I/O) models, which look at relationships among industries related transactions to estimate the direct, indirect, and induced (i.e., multiplier) effects of an investment. There are several commercially available propriety models designed to produce estimates of changes to output, and translate them to changes in things such as employment and income.
The consideration of wider economic benefits (WEB) captures some of the effects of transportation investments not generally estimated in benefit-cost analysis or macroeconomic models. These WEB represent economic benefits of structural changes to the economy that transportation can facilitate, including agglomeration effects, increases in employment, structural employment changes, productivity increases.
The Office of Management and Budget has issued guidance on how to properly conduct economic analyses in support of Federal programs. The guidance includes discussions of analytical approaches, proper methods, discount rates, distributional effects, measuring benefits and costs.
OMB Circular A-4, Regulatory Analysis: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars_a004_a-4
OMB Circular A-94, Guidelines and Discount Rates for Benefit-Cost Analysis of Federal Programs: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars_a094/
The U.S. DOT Policy Office has issued guidance specific to benefit-cost analysis specific to U.S. DOT programs. This guidance was issued to help those applying for Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) discretionary grants.
The TIGER BCA Guidance includes information on proper methodologies, calculating present values, discounting, and types of benefits to consider: http://www.dot.gov/policy-initiatives/tiger/tiger-bca-guidance
The TIGER BCA resource guide provides recommended values for the value of statistical life, value of injuries, property damage, value of travel time, value of emissions, and the social cost of carbon: http://www.dot.gov/policy-initiatives/tiger/tiger-bca-resource-guide-2014
The Transportation Research Board Transportation Economics Committee (ABE20) has an excellent website, which a great deal of information on benefit-cost analysis in the transportation field: http://bca.transportationeconomics.org/
The FHWA's Office of Transportation Performance Management maintains a webpage with information on evaluating highway investments, including life-cycle cost analysis. www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/asstmgmt/invest.cfm.
The SHRP2 program developed an Economic Analysis Tools Bundle, which includes a database of 100 projects documenting economic development benefits of actual projects, along with spreadsheet-based tools that can estimate some of the wider benefits of projects. More information about the tools, including reports, links to the web-based database, and downloads of the spreadsheets can be found here: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/goshrp2/Solutions/Capacity/C03_C11/Economic_Analysis_Tools

CHARDON -- A dramatic confrontation between a man and his ex-wife's boyfriend ends with the man accidentally shooting his current wife in the back.
The exchange and shooting last August 25, are all captured on cell phone video. The video and incident reports were just released, exclusively to Channel 3 News this week.
Geauga County Sheriff's deputies say Tony Molchak, of Solon, was dropping off his daughter at his ex-wife's home on Clark Rd. in Chardon Twp. He argued with Gary Schussler, the boyfriend of ex-wife, Diane Molchak, on the front lawn.
The video, shot by Molchak's current wife, Shelley, shows Molchak throwing the first punch at Schussler.
Schussler then pulls a gun from a back holster. He's seen in the video, kicking Shelley Molchak and her cell phone. As the two men scuffle, Schussler drops his gun, and Molchak seizes on the opportunity.
"I got the gun now!" Molchak is heard saying.
But Molchak accidentally fires the cocked and loaded gun, shooting his own wife in the back. She was flown to MetroHealth Medical Center with a collapsed lung.
Schussler's attorney defends his client's right to pull a gun while on his property.
"He [Molchak] came on my client's property, and my client did what he had to do to protect himself," said attorney Michael Peterson.
Schussler was charged with having a weapon while intoxicated, and assault against Shelley Molchak. Tony Molchak was charged with negligent assault on his wife. Both criminal cases against the men are still pending.
And the key witness: a camera's eye.

State Department security officers called in Boston police Sunday afternoon after a man was seen parked in a no-parking zone taking photographs of Kerry's Louisburg Square house.
A police spokeswoman says the man told security officers he was taking pictures to show a friend, but he then deleted them. When asked to move his vehicle, the man said he'd been drinking.
Kerry spokesman Glen Johnson issued a statement saying the man was taking pictures of a window in Kerry's house. He says a pellet gun also was found in the vehicle.
Kerry was not at home at the time.
The 29-year-old man is due in court on Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) - First lady Michelle Obama is kicking off the holiday season by welcoming the White House Christmas tree.
Mrs. Obama, daughters Malia and Sasha and first dog Bo greeted the arrival of a 19-foot Fraser fir from Peak Farms in Jefferson, N.C.
The tree arrived Friday on a horse-drawn carriage. It will be displayed in the Blue Room of the White House.
The first lady says the tree is "perfect."
The fir tree comes from the farm of 2012 National Christmas Tree Association grand champion winners Rusty and Beau Estes.
Members of the association have presented the official White House Christmas tree every year since 1966.

Do you have excellent credit? If so, banks are actively looking to win you as a new credit card customer by offering some unprecedented deals. Although banks have been more careful about acquiring customers with questionable credit since the 2008 Financial Crisis, they are now fighting harder than ever to win coveted customers with great credit. If you are in the excellent credit sweet spot, they are effectively giving you money (and a lot of it) to use their credit cards. These are the top 7 deals you can take advantage of today:
Blue Cash Preferred Card from American Express: Blue Cash Preferred Card from American Express (a NextAdvisor advertiser) is such a great cash back card that I have one. Right now they're running a limited time offer – if you apply by 6/15/16 you'll earn a spectacular 10% cash back at cellular phone providers in 2016 (up to $200). So if you want to earn up to an extra $200 this year on your mobile phone bill make sure to apply soon. You'll also earn a spectacular 6% cash back at supermarkets (on up to $6K in purchases annually), 3% on gas and at department stores like JCP, Kohl's and Macy's, and 1% on everything else. Plus you'll get a $150 intro bonus after spending $1,000 on purchases with your new Card in the first three months – that's a 15% cash back bonus on the first $1,000 you spend! In addition you'll enjoy a 0% 12-month intro APR on purchases and balance transfers. There is a $75 annual fee, but depending upon your spending patterns this card should easily pay for itself and then some. If you want a similar card that has no annual fee, check out Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express, which has the same 12-month 0% APR but lower cash back rates and a slightly lesser intro bonus.
Chase Slate: This card was designed with credit card balance consolidation in mind. It's the only card we've found with both a lengthy 0% introductory APR and no balance transfer fee. Its 15-month, 0% introductory APR on both balance transfers and purchases translates to interest-free payments until 2017. Plus, there are no balance transfer fees during the first 60 days of card membership. This is a big deal, as depending upon how much you plan to transfer, balance transfer fees can really add up. In fact, a $0 intro balance transfer fee can save you hundreds of dollars in fees, and the $0 annual fee is also a money-saver. So if you have excellent credit, you absolutely should not be paying any credit card interest. Get this card and transfer your balances.
Citi Diamond Preferred: Shopping for a special item for yourself or someone else? This card will let you make big purchases then carry that balance into 2018 without paying a dime of interest. Citi Diamond Preferred (a NextAdvisor advertiser) features an incredibly lengthy 21-month 0% introductory APR for purchases and balance transfers. And there's no annual fee. The combination makes this card perfect for anyone looking to make a large purchase (or several purchases) or who is interested in transferring balances from other high-interest credit cards to this one. Either way it's a smart choice.
Capital One Venture Rewards Card: Like to travel? This is the card for you. You'll earn 2 miles per dollar for every purchase, and a bonus 40,000 miles – equal to $400 in travel – after spending $3,000 in the first 90 days of card membership. To use your miles, just book your travel and redeem your miles for a statement credit. You can make your travel arrangements however you'd like (by phone, online, using an agent, etc), fly any airline to any destination, and enjoy no blackout dates. Plus there are no foreign transaction fees, so you'll save money when you travel outside the US. There is a $59 annual fee, but it's waived the first year. Overall this is a fabulous travel card and we highly recommend it.
BankAmericard Cash Rewards Credit Card: If you're in the market for a great cash back rewards cards that also has a 12-billing-cycle 0% APR, this is a smart pick. Not only can you transfer over balances from your high-interest cards to the BankAmericard Cash Rewards card and pay zero interest for a full year, but you'll get the same 0% intro APR on new card purchases. Plus you'll earn 3% cash back on gas and 2% cash back on grocery stores (for the first $1,500 in combined grocery and gas purchases each quarter) and 1% cash back on everything else. And if you have a Bank of America checking account, the rewards can get much richer, up to 75% more – that's 5.25% on gas, 3.5% on groceries and 1.75% on everything else – depending on your balance in the account (read this post for more details). The cherry on top is you'll earn an additional $100 cash back after spending $500 in the first 3 months. This card really does have it all – cash back, an extra cash back bonus, a lengthy 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers AND no annual fee.
Citi Double Cash Card: The Citi Double Cash Card features an effective 2% cash back on ALL purchases, the best we've seen for a card that offers a single cash back percentage on everything you buy. There are two steps two getting the full 2% cash back. Use your card to purchase the item(s) for the first 1% cash back. You'll receive the second 1% cash back after you've paid for your purchase(s), for a total of 2% effective cash back. As long as you're paying the minimum due each month you can take as long as you want to pay off your balance and get the additional 1% cash back (aka, 2% total effective cash back). In addition to this high cash back percentage, you'll also enjoy 18 months of a 0% intro APR on balance transfers. And to top it all off there's no annual fee and no caps on the amount cash back rewards you can earn.
Chase Sapphire Preferred: This is a rewards cards with lots of flexibility. It starts off by earning you 2 points for each dollar spent on travel and dining out, and 1 point per dollar on all other purchases. That's followed up by a 50,000 point bonus after spending $4,000 in the 3 months – equal to $625 in travel rewards or $500 cash back. Redeeming your earned points via Chase's Ultimate Rewards saves 20% off travel costs, enabling you to stretch 50,000 worth of points to $625 in travel. You can also redeem your points for cash back, gift cards and merchandise.
The best part is that you can transfer your points 1:1 to many frequent travel programs with no transfer fees, including United MileagePlus, Southwest Rapid Rewards, Hyatt Gold Passport and Marriot Rewards. That means 1,000 points are equal to 1,000 partner miles/points, straightforward and simple. This feature is likely to appeal to road warriors who are members of various partner programs, as users aren't limited to spending their points via Chase's rewards program. There is a $95 annual fee, but it is waived the first year.
TIP: If you're in the market for a new credit card but don't think your credit will qualify you for one of these cards, take a look at our top 7 cards for people with less than perfect credit.

Dental Care: 3 Years to 6 Years
Topic Overview
All of a child's 20 primary (baby) teeth usually break through the gums (erupt) between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. Then the permanent teeth begin to emerge, usually starting at about age 6. Your child probably had his or her first trip to the dentist between 6 and 12 months of age, and now you probably have regular appointments set up. If for some reason your child has not yet seen a dentist, make an appointment for an exam.
Your 3- to 6-year-old child will be busily developing language skills and exploring the ever-widening world. Hard as it is to get a preschooler to sit still, this is the age during which you can teach good dental health habits.
- Your child can learn how to brush his or her own teeth at about 3 years of age and should be brushing his or her own teeth, morning and night, by age 4. You should still supervise and check for proper cleaning.
- Give your child a small, soft toothbrush, and apply fluoridated toothpaste in an amount about the size of a small green pea. Encourage your child to watch you and older siblings brush teeth. A good teaching method is to have your child brush in the morning and you brush at night until your child masters the skill. Teach your child not to swallow the toothpaste.
- Start flossing your child's teeth as soon as they touch each other. You may find plastic flossing tools helpful. Talk with your dentist about the right timing and technique to floss your child's teeth and to teach your child to floss.
- If your 4-year-old sucks his or her fingers or thumb, help him or her to stop. If the child can't stop, see your dentist. A children's dentist (pediatric dentist) is specially trained to treat this problem. For more information, see the topic Thumb-Sucking.
- Give your child nutritious foods to maintain healthy gums, develop strong teeth, and avoid tooth decay. These include whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Try to avoid foods that are high in sugar and processed carbohydrates, such as pastries, pasta, and white bread.
- Discuss your child's fluoride needs with your dentist if your local water supply does not contain enough fluoride. To find out, call your local water company or health department. If you have your own well, have your water checked to find out if your family needs fluoride from other sources. Normal amounts of fluoride added to public water supplies and bottled water are safe for children and adults. If your child needs extra fluoride, your dentist may recommend supplements. Use these supplements only as directed. And keep them out of reach of your child. Too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth.
- Keep your child away from cigarette smoke (secondhand smoke). Tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of tooth decay and gum disease.1 As your child grows, teach him or her about the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke.
After your child's permanent teeth begin to appear, usually around age 6, talk with your dentist about having dental sealant placed on the molars. Sealants are made of hard plastic and protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth from decay.
Children play hard, sometimes hard enough to knock out or break a tooth. Learn how to prevent injuries to teeth, and what to do in a dental emergency. For more information, see the topic Mouth and Dental Injuries.

Although there is still one more Reading Together related event in 2011, I wanted to report out on the success of the program. Check out these numbers!
• Over 1,700 copies of the book and audiobook circulated
• Over 800 readers attended the Tracy Kidder program on March 10 at Chenery Auditorium
• 1,063 patrons attended one of the 13 events with an average of 82 at each event!
The above numbers show that over 3,500 individuals either read Strength in What Remains, attended an event or both. So if you average this number over the six weeks we celebrated Kidder's novel, over 580 a week participated in Reading Together! This does not even include the many community book clubs and partnering libraries who hosted events.
I would like to thank the Steering Committee, Community Partners, and Sponsors for making it another great year.

Grand Theft Auto V, also known as GTA 5 or GTA V, is an upcoming Rockstar North video game currently in development. It is the fifteenth instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series.
Announced on October 25, 2011, the game's first trailer[2] was released on November 2, 2011, at 4:00 PM GMT. The game was initially slated for a Spring 2013 release, but was pushed to September 17th the same year. Then, on July 15, 2013, Rockstar announced the Japanese release date for the game: October 10, 2013, almost a month after it will be released in the west.[3]
Grand Theft Auto V is to be set in modern-day Los Santos and its surrounding areas and tells the stories of three protagonists: Michael, Franklin and Trevor.
Grand Theft Auto V evolves nearly every mechanic that was in the previous Grand Theft Auto games. As far as driving goes, the cars have been greatly improved, with Rockstar running more physics on them. The cars even hold to the ground a bit better and the mechanics feel more like a racing game, compared to Grand Theft Auto IV's rocky, boat-like handling system. The shooting mechanics will be better in terms of the feel of the mechanics and bigger compared to the melee mechanics in the game, but that doesn't mean that the melee combat won't be fun, as it as been improved over the previous titles as well. Weapon selection has now also been changed. Instead of the old way of selecting through all the weapons, there is now a weapon wheel, just like the one in Red Dead Redemption. It has also been confirmed that this will be the first Grand Theft Auto game that has a fully-fledged ecosystem.
There are many unique features in the game, one of those features is that when the players are playing as one of three protagonists in the game, the other two are living out their daily lives, and you will be surprised by what you find the characters doing when you switch back into them. Another unique feature is the swapping characters feature happens in a Google Earth styled manner and was displayed during a Game Informer demo, which it showed to have ran smoothly and without lag.
New activities have also been added, such as yoga, triathlons, jet skiing, base-jumping, tennis, a full-fledged golf, and scuba diving. The mobile phone has also returned but will only be used for calling your friends and using the internet. Flipping off people is another new feature the player can use (which Rockstar recommended you do in various locations around Los Santos to see the outcome of this effect, depending on where the player is at they will get different reactions from pedestrians).
Rockstar has also made changes to the pedestrian mechanics; some pedestrians you see at the bus stops in South Los Santos will reappear in Rockford Hills working on rich peoples' lawns and gardens. Some minor mechanics that help out the environment and looks of Los Santos will come on at certain times, such as a sprinklers system coming on in the morning in rich areas like Rockford Hills.
One of the greatest gameplay effects seen so far is that the engines on planes can blow vehicles back, using the force of their powerful engines.
The map is said to be bigger than GTA San Andreas, GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption put together. After some calculations by members of GawdAlmighty.com, that would equal to around 27.5 square miles when land and sea are put together. [3]
- Main Article: Vehicles in GTA V
Grand Theft Auto V promises to have more vehicles than in any other Grand Theft Auto game to date, with a variety of vehicles, including airplanes, helicopters, convertible cars, utility vehicles, emergency service cars, motorcycles, and jet skis. It has been confirmed that players will be able to fly planes, this was not possible in Grand Theft Auto IV because of the size of the map, but will be in Grand Theft Auto V because the map is larger. In a brief scene in the first trailer, overhead wires are visible on a banking next to the road, which are probably wires for a railway track. A submarine has also been displayed, hinting at sub-aquatic travel.
- Main Article: Businesses in GTA V
According to the trailer, businesses in Grand Theft Auto IV are set to appear in the upcoming game. New businesses also appear, as seen in the trailer, such as the Bugstars fumigation company and Up-n-Atom Burger fast food restaurant.
- Main article: Weapons in GTA V
Weaponry is not currently revealed in full. As seen in the trailer, there are Norinco Type 56-2 assault rifles with sound suppressors, mounted lasers, olive drab polymer furniture, and side-folding stocks. This leads to the return of suppressed weapons and the possibility of attaching suppressors to most firearms or having an individual variant of the weapon that has a suppressor while the other remains without any attachments. During the trailer a man playing Golf with a Golf club is seen but is unknown if the Golf Club is going to be a melee weapon. No other weapons were revealed in the trailer for the game. During the second trailer, Trevor mention that "The guns and crank in this area go through Trevor Phillips Enterprises or they ain't going!" Hinting that the player will be able to control Trevor's business of guns in Blaine County.
- Main article: Grand Theft Auto Online
According to the Rockstar Games Social Club, multiplayer crews in Max Payne 3 will be carried over to Grand Theft Auto V[4]. Grand Theft Auto V will have multiplayer features linked to Rockstar's Social Club. If the player created a crew in Max Payne 3, it can be imported to Grand Theft Auto V through the Social Club.
Multiplayer will hold 32 people on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
Multiplayer was confirmed in the Grand Theft Auto V official release statement, as it mentions "online multiplayer". Apart from the fact that Crews from Max Payne 3 will carry over to Grand Theft Auto V, and therefore crews will be present in Grand Theft Auto V, no information about multiplayer has been released. It has also been confirmed that a separate team is developing the single player while another team is working on the multiplayer.
Players will have a garage where they can save their weapons and vehicles, much like the outfitter in Red Dead Redemption.
On November 3, 2011, Rockstar Games confirmed that the game will take place in Los Santos and the surrounding countryside - and will not feature a recreated rendition of an entire State of San Andreas - in a statement on their Newswire:
- "We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development."
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.
- "A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California."
During the Game Informer Grand Theft Auto V Cover Story, the vice president of creativity for Rockstar Games, Dan Houser, has stated that Los Santos this time around is different and a lot more developed (having cities, wilderness, deserts, farmlands, villages, a Mount Chiliad, a military base, and a fully detailed ocean floor including coral beds). Los Santos is also five times larger than Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Red Dead Redemption all combined, along with interior spaces in each building, house, apartment and more. After some calculations by members of GawdAlmighty.com, that would equal to around 27.5 square miles when land and sea are put together. [5]
Characters and premise
Grand Theft Auto V will feature three playable protagonists; Michael, Trevor and Franklin.
Michael is a retired professional bank robber, who after making a sweetheart deal with FIB, returned to the life of crime. Trevor is the loose cannon in this story, who is also a long time best friend of Michael's and a hot-head psychopath as well. Last but certainly not least, we have Franklin, a young and grim repo man who has a large amount of experience behind the wheel, but no real experience to crime until he meets Michael while he was trying to get a hustle.
Other main characters include Amanda, Michael's wife; Jimmy and Tracy, Michael's children; Lamar, Franklin's friend; Ron, Trevor's paranoid friend; and Simeon Yetarian, Franklin's employer.

- On April 8, 2012, The Electric Playground (programmed show on WABC) stated that the next Grand Theft Auto blockbuster will hit streets in 2013, months before Rockstar's official announcement.
- The vehicles in the trailer all have plates reading "San Andreas". Some of the license plates are stylized as modern California license plates, while some are stylized after the 1980's style California plate, oddly out of place on new cars.
- Products and businesses/companies from Grand Theft Auto IV have returned such as E-Cola, Pißwasser, 24/7, FLEECA, Daily Globe and The Bean Machine.
- A stationary airship is repetitively visible amongst the skyline of Los Santos. It is believed to be the Atomic Blimp
- For the first time the cars can retract and deploy their soft top/hard top covers. In previous games convertibles were stuck with the roof they had or didn't have (with the exception of being able to install a permanent cover on lowriders in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas).
- In the background of the first trailer, a certain building is about half completed. However, later in the video, the same building is nearing completion. This could be either be because the game is still in development, or an indication of time passing by, affecting the environment throughout the game's storyline.
- Rockstar Games has announced that it is the largest and most ambitious game they have yet created.
- The registration plates have orange stickers on top right. The same plates are used for 2013 California registration plates. The same was also used in California in 2008.

GTA San Andreas
Cock Rock is a rock formation found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, west of Verdant Meadows and south of Las Payasadas in Bone County. It is in the shape of a large penis, earning it its name. It is easily seen from the airstrip and in high rock formations like El Castillo del Diablo and Arco del Oeste.
GTA Chinatown Wars
A similar rock formation can be found in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. However, it is not that noticeable, having a flatter appearance. The Chinatown Wars rendition is situated on the beach of Firefly Island. The rock is not officially known as Cock Rock, but players call it that.

While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Mon Dieu! December 14 is National Bouillabaisse Day.
One bite of this soothing one-pot meal will transport you to the Mediterranean coast of France, where the dish originated. Who couldn't use a nice holiday in the sun in December?
While bouillabaisse is one of the cornerstones of Provençal cuisine, there are plenty of recipe variations in the sea.
Whether you stew up one fish, two fish, red fish or blue fish, just don't forget to serve bouillabaisse with rouille (a peppery saffron mayonnaise) and a crusty baguette to sop up every last inch of the broth.

Local language versions of biblical names of Hebrew origin such as Hannah and David are still widely internationally popular today.
Modern Hebrew names are often derived from Hebrew vocabulary, for example Aviva (spring) and Dov (bear).
Children of Jewish heritage are usually given a Hebrew name for religious purposes and are sometimes also given a local language version of that name for secular purposes.
By custom, Ashkenazi Jews (Jews of German or Eastern European descent) name their children after deceased relatives. This is in order to honor the deceased relative, keep their name and memory alive, and to form a bond between the soul of the baby and the deceased relative so that they can live on within the newer generation.
Sephardic Jews (Jews of Spain, Portugal and the Middle East) in contrast, name their children after living relatives or deceased relatives. The father's parents names are generally used first and then the mother's parents names.
Neither Ashkenazi or Sephardic Jews will name a baby after one of the parents.
After a child is born, the father is given an aliyah (religious honor to bless the reading of the Torah). After this a blessing is said for the health of the mother and child. If the baby is a girl, she is named at this time. If the baby is a boy, he will be named during his brit milah (ritual circumcision) generally eight days after birth.
