Ragdoll physics is a new feature implemented in Grand Theft Auto IV. With ragdoll physics, players and NPCs lie on the ground dynamically. The affected model essentially behaves like a "ragdoll", hence the name. Characters no longer lie flat and static on surfaces. Their bodies will conform to any objects realistically and can be moved around by collisions and bullets. However, unlike other games that use ragdoll physics, characters in GTA IV do not seem to be affected to the fullest extent and still conform to some preset animations, thus assuming a more "human" posture and not like a dummy being thrown around (eg. when you jump off a tall building, the subject would land straight then topple over, rather than landing on one foot and immediately falling to the ground).
When the ragdoll affects on NPC or antagonist is activated by having them hit by a car, falling, etc., they will not just flap around like a "lifeless" ragdoll if they are still alive; they will brace themselves while getting thrown about. When an antagonist or NPC gets hit by with a car (but doesn't die from the impact), they will brace themselves as they are getting thrown about the road. Up until they are killed, they will continue to brace their face with their arms and their legs in the fetal position. If an antagonist or NPC is killed by getting hit by a car, their body will be thrown about lifelessly without bracing. This is added for realism as real life people will automatically brace themselves whenever they are thrown. Ragdoll physics are a bit inconvenient at certain times, especially when bailing out of a vehicle or ejecting involutarily out of a vehicle, unlike the previous renditions, as the player may continue to flop around until death. This feature adds realism and a sense of more control in the game.
Physics in older games
As ragdoll physics was added in Grand Theft Auto IV in previous games if a player or NPC falls of a buliding or hill they would fall completely flat even if the ground below is steep. Also if a player or NPC falls on the ground he will land to feet on the ground and then fall flat, even if the player or NPC dies on the impact of the fall they will still hit the ground the same way. In Grand Theft Auto IV if the player falls on a low jump Niko will do a stunt roll but in previous games the player will fall either flat on their feet able to keep moving with a slight bend forward (this is very hard to notice but still there) in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. If a player or NPC is hit by a car in a game previous to Grand Theft Auto IV they will fall on their back and then get back up if not killed or they will fall the same way but slide over the top of the car, in Grand Theft Auto IV Niko or an NPC will fly over the top of the car and can hit the ground in many different ways depending on how high they fall the speed of the car and the angle of the collison.

lol on the description of your armz... it's best to start off these things by knowing where you're coming from: what are your stats (ht, wt, age, Squat#, Bench#, DL#)? How do you train? How do you eat?
Give us that and we can begin honing in on your issue...
Are you historically lazy when it comes to doing squats, deadlifts, benches, overheads, rows and chins? How about historically lazy when it comes to eating?

Sounds like the average curlbro...
I must be a curlbro if I was talking about curls. why would someone want to work their bicep over their ulterior pectoid
how much were you guys curling when you noticed you have "guns"
or is it a bodyfat issue? i'm 5'10-5'11 180'ish
i deadlift and squat, don't get nerdy compound bodybuilder on me
No, I said you sound like a curlbro because you said that you're lazy with your triceps, you have the arms of a 12-year-old Saigon hooker, and you wanted arms like Marky Mark. Marky Mark is a scrawny phaggot who doesn't even lift and is obviously a curlbro.
well he's bigger than i'll ever be that's for sure. ill never see a 350 bench
I always get complimented on my arms and for most of my training years I did not do direct arm work, I just destroy myself on back and chest and that hits the arms hard. I am now 205lb at 13.5%, I haven't done curls in a while, I don't want to sound cocky or anything but I don't think that 135lb would even be a working set if I am shooting for my normal rep range.
Doing sets of 2 reps with heavy weight is probably not watch you need to be doing if you're trying to grow your arms. Go with a lighter weight and stay in the 8-15 rep range.

My Training Log -
For a frame of reference how big are your arms? I a have seen far too many jacked asian girls for the saigon reference to work on me.
So you do heavy pressing pulling and leg work, and are eating enough to sustain growth, then you are probably doing all you can.
Move heavy weight, eat, sleep, repeat.
Geniuses make complicated scenarios simple, morons take simple concepts and complicate them.
To the OP I agree with KristianT (except for the stats). I would worry about rows and pullups, and then add some curls at the end of the day if you want to. But your arms won't grow a whole lot unless you gain some weight.
Post a vid of those two great reps.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.

Stuff like this happens and the look a like thread all die down every year after ISU takes this many thumpings in a row. Especially when the current game does not look any better.
You know we don't have much of a chance when we place our chances of a victory on the other team having a major W hangover. nonetheless, they're our team, everyone has a connection to them in their own unique way. I hope for a W today; it would really boost the spirits of Cyclone Nation.
...not to mention I would love to have something to talk about at the office this week, rather than hearing about how great the Huskers looked in their win and Pelini is "Coach for life," or about how they lost and everyone should be fired...
Jared Barnett era officially begins. I'd be elated if he could just avoid turnovers in a place ISU has never won before...
Go cyclones.
When Prepared, Fear No One.

"The kids, they listen to the rap music. That gives them the brain damage. With the hippin and the hoppin and the bippin and the boppin, so they don't know what the jazz is all about! You see, jazz is like jello pudding. No, actually its more like Kodak film. No, actually jazz is like the New Coke. It'll be around forever. Now listen to the jazz and eat the puddin."
"yeah,so what..the guy can slap his bass..I slap my wife and do I get awards and recognition for that?No. What i get is a custodial sentence"
Flea (or Micheal Peter Balzary the second earl of Camden) is the facemelting bass jesus and professional fire damaged turnip lookalike for the "Red Hot Chili Peppers", "Red Hot Chicken Tikas" and Dr Pepper sales rep of the year 1987. He is a self confessed "Little Pea" and collector of Persian wifes. Flea currently resides not surprisingly in California along with sex and fellow California enthusiast plus band memeber Anthony Kiedis.
Early Life
Flea was Born in the grand city of Australia many moons ago to Myrtle and Wilbur Balzary a homemaker and Jazz fusion saxophonist in the band Wilbur and the Jazz Fusion collective. This is contrary to the works of semi legit Flea Biographer Perez Hilton who notes that his Parents were a law enforcement officer and an ultimate frizbee playing hippy. Flea's papa was not a copper and his momma was most certainly not a hippy.....although he DID swing hammers in alabama. Unlike that jackbooted wierdo Perez Hilton's account of the life and works of flea this article has been TOTALY RESERCHED....kinda. I used Wikipedia and everything! all by myself!
Growing up Flea became interested in Drugs, Jazz and sculpting the face of lucifer into bars of Galaxy Chocolate. Flea's interest in music began to rise one night when Flea's dad and his band mates Fisty buns McGoo, Blind dead Mcjones and Afred Von Tootenberg were hammered drunk in the alley behind the house and a young flea was reading his books on this goliath of the Turnip world (of which he longed to be part of!) The Enormous Turnip he heard what sounded like Music but was infact his drunken boorish father and Blind dead McJones hoofing a Cat while Alfred Von Tootenberg and cheered them on and mistakenly thinking he heard song lyrics "Throw a work boot at the cat" which was to Iornicly influence the way the Red Hot Chili Peppers would compose song lyrics and be the title of their biggest selling single and album. A young Flea is claimed to have remarked "That's some HOT Jazz!". He was hideously wrong.
Flea's father was later arrested for assaulting the cat with a Souveneer shoe horn from their family holiday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Flea and his mother then relocated to the united states of America and specifically California. Flea later said in an interview with High class music publication Rolling Stone" My father left me with the recipe for the most epic bassline in history, despite having never picked up as Bass Guitar in my life" We will come back to this later.
Incase you didn't get it or your just to daft to think about it this segment was littered with references to the song Dani California, Yes I know referencing songs by The Red Hot Chili Peppers in an article somewhat related to them is a crutch for foppish hacks who think it aids them in their pursuit of humour.... Fuck it!....I AM a foppish hack!
Anthony Kiedis And Hillel "Heroin" Slovak
After Enroling in "The state of Californias school for gifted Californian kids with talent" also known as "School" he met future best friend and professional Lady botherer Anthony Kiedis. After some troubles between the pair (Kiedis perpetually trying to knock off Flea's mum while he was at the toilet) they realised that they were far to "different" to be accepted and so it was, the twain forged ahead and became and formed and moulded the most rockin'est bombastical groovalitious Funk band in the world!......Anthym. No wait! theres a bit more like erm..the bit where Flea met Hillel "Heroin" Slovak and THEY formed Anthym BEFORE Anthony Kiedis groin thrusted his way onto the scene. Yes thats it!...kiedis was still trying to "Howdy Ma'am" the waste bin fashoned into the sexually alluring form of a pink plastic cartoon hippo in the far end of the schools playground facilities. Mean while Flea and Hillel "Heroin" Slovak created Anthym. Right you with me so far?....good. Up to that Point Flea was a total Jazz Nerd and into bands and people with esoteric names like "Deaf fat Mctavish","Wet Poor Jonze","Anaemic drunk O'Flaherty" and "The Hot Butter Soul Collective". His favourite album during this period was "Deaf Fat McTavish's" sophmore album and Jazz Tour de force "I ain't got nothin' and their takin' that too" During this time Flea would call out to all and sundry when he was in a dancin' mood to "get ya James Brown on!". Interviews with Flea during the "Califawnacation" album tour reveal that Anthony Kiedis suggested that Flea, Being a Trumpet prodigy (oh did i neglect to mention that!...well yeah he is) start a band with him called "The Humpin' Trumpin' lady pumpin' racoons". Flea quite rightly refused citing his reasons as "He is quite clearly an idiot, The idea is terrible, and he doesn't need a trumpeteeer as he has demonstrated a quite fantastic ability to blow is own trumpet". (I was refrring to his Ego trumpet you filthy people!).
Upon meeting with Hillel "Heroin" Slovak and some other chap I can't quite remember who, let's call him Tony Harrison they formed a fairly average band of young white kids with no point to prove and no life experiance caled "Anthym" but god love 'em for tryin'! it consisted of Hillel "Heroin" Slovak (who i should more than likely stop referring to as "Heroin" mainly as he was still very much alive and not on Heroin at this point) on Guitar,Tony Harrison on Drums and Flea on Bass. Flea at this point had never played a Bass or infact heard of one. Some people claim when he picked up the Bass a beam of brilliant ice blue light erupted from betwixed Flea's glossy rear cheeks and burst into a facemelting slap Bass rendition of the B52's "love Shack". Others say he just went home with a tab book full of songs like "Old Mcdonald had a farm" and Megadeths "Bass for noobs". But for all intents and purposes of factual accuracy we will chose the more fun version. Oh yeah "By The way" it was at This point Anthony Kiedis did make an apperance and stuck around.
P.S.......1 more Red Hot Chili Peppers allusion! Booyaah!
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
After Hillel "Heroin" Slovak, Flea and Tony Harrison got their act together and learnt to play music they formed a band. Not like "Anthym" a better band. One that promised riches beyond the means of U2 or even Bill Gates. HOWEVER! despite what many reliable sources say they did not perform as the red hot chili peppers at first preferring to play early shows under the name Kraftwerk and playing some kinda electronic dance music. You know the stuff, full of bleeps and boops. They realeased one single from these early shows on Tape. It was called "Computer love" and went something like this. "Da da daa daah. Da daa DAAH da. beepbeepbeep beep. pah bah baa bah daah" It was huge dancefloor hit in Minsk. Soon after that and a lengthy legal case brought on by the actual Kraftwerk in which the Red Hot Chili Peppers were forced under oath to admit that they were not pedantic Germans involved with the electronic scene in Hamburg and to quit their Jibber Jabber.
After the case the band were understandably decjected as they now had no direction or decernable talent (apart from Flea obviously)so just minced around inbibing groceries and pumping out pudding until Anthony Kiedis who was seldom mentioned at any point in the article so far despite being the most prominent and important factor in The Red Hot Chili Peppers....but fuck you, this is MY article about Flea and I choose when to reference him! this is not him referencing him in an article about him! for that see this "Anthony Kiedis: I love myself". Anyway back on topic, Oh yeah it was at this point. Or there abouts Will Ferrel No sorry Chad Smith joined the band on drums replacing the much loved Tony Harrison. It was at this point that an argument between Anthony Kiedis and Hillel "Heroin" slovak over drugs (did I neglect to mention that both of them are full on smack heads now...sorry) that the first song they Chilis released was spawned. Kiedis was debating weather speedballs can get you "hopped up on junk" and Hillel "Nearly dead at this point" Slovak warned "keep this about the music man! (musicman get it! hahaha......no....bloody phillistines) don't let the drugs and shit get the better of you!". Kiedis relented and quppied "If you see me gettin' high. If you see me gettin' high knock me down" and thus began the decade spanning album churning career of these guys and Flea became the greatest Bassist to ever do some Bass Playing.
The first album "Freaky Stylee" was not originally titled "Freaky Stylee" 2 other album titles were rejected. "Stylistically Freaky" and "Styled in a jaunty and esoteric way". The band decided that these titles were not ethnocentric enough to make black people and Asians buy their album. This evident as the Red Hot Chili Peppers are white and "Black man don' buy whitey's musak, we be buyin' shit wit 12 billion gigawats o' Bass". They said this completeley ignoring the fact that Flea plays at a volume and pace that makes the Tarmac bleed.
Nadir: The musicman reference for those of you out of the know is a brilliant Bass used by Flea until he switched to modulas series FB4 which is his sig... Why do I even bother trying to educate you!!. Oh and by the by im not sure that "Freaky Stylee" was even their first album. I can't be bothered to reserch it. What ya gonna do bout it!
Flea's Work On Other Albums
Flea is the only member of the band (I say this as Anthony Kiedis hardly contributes) that has played on every one of their studio albums and maybe their non live ones we just don't know. Follwing is a list of what he did.
Mothers Milky Way
Flea contributed by playing "The Flugelhorn","Bass","Oboe", "Kicking the shit out of John Fruitshanty to get his lazy pasty ass to do some guitar noodling", writing the lyrics for the tracks Anthony you pretencious prick and Dave Navarro's comin'".
2 moderatly temperate minutes
Flea played Bass,Lead Guitar, Drums, Synth, Basoon, tuba,triangle and worked on catering. this was the album in which Dave "Nissan" Navarro (hahahaha get it!) played guitar. It was also the album that saw him get fired for being a Jackbooted, bemake-uped pussy with less skill and talent that the X Factor live tour. The album was so bad that the NME broke its tradition of giving everything a score of 2 and a half stars and gave it 2....unless they re-release it in which case it will get 5.
Mum,Shooters, Specs, Tragic
See above. Plus flea recorded the bonus track which many RHCP purists call Flea's cry to be taken under the wing of a credible band and celebrated for the god of rock that he is (This band aint no good), and NO Metallica fans im not talking about them as i said CREDIBLE. For that matter im not even talking about Megadeth so don't think fans of Dave Mustaine are getting away scot free! as may I remind you that not washing and metal are not mutually exclusive.
Greatest Hits/What Hits
See above. Bloody hacks!
P.S Anthony Kiedis wanted to name these albums after 2 of his ex girlfriends "Greatest Hits" was to be named "Greatest Tits" after his Norwigan ex "Ingrid Van Pooter" the most beautiful woman in all of Norweigia and "What Tits?" after his other ex "Sinead O'Connor".
See above!
By The way
See above!!
Are you getting the point. That these guys just recycle the same shit every single freakin' time!......Maybe the next one will be different.
Stadium Blockadeium
God Freakin' damn it!! I want my Flea back!! let him play once more John Fruitshanty!!! stop stifling the funk you fucker! Right thats it im going to get Dave "Nissan" Navarro back. Least he knew when to use a frickin' effects peddle!
- Note that I do not want to see Dave Navarro near any recording studio ever again!
Throw A work Boot At The Cat
This is the latest works by The Red Hot Chili Peppers and is the only album almost solely driven artistically and asthetically by Flea.
"Throw a work boot" as it was to become colloquially known deviated from the usual chili's style of Funk,Punk,Rock,Jazz,Folk,Pop,Psychedelia,Post modern industrial art rock and Public domain songs and replaced that with some 1950's inspired Bebop and freelance Jazz (which is different form normal jazz in that its freelance, these Cats are the coolest of the cats in that these cats "can dig that dadday" as opposed to slightly warmer cats who are unable to dig what ever daddy is supposed to be dug.....thats freelance Jazz for ya!). Flea wrote and played bass, Vibrophonor, Jazz keyboard, bebop trumpet and provided back up "skibady pows" in scat backup vocals. Flea also incorporated the "Fender Jazz effects pedal" into Fruitshantys guitar stylings for this album that ment that each note Fruitshanty played would be translated into scat singing with the tone and gravelly yet ballodic stylings of Louis Armstrong. Kiedis was required to sing in a scat fashion while Flea, Chad Smith and John Fruitshanty were to keep a constant and unrelenting wall of bebop and Jazz noises untill each 17 minute track was over.
It would be fair to say that the album did chart badly and from then on the chilis called it a day.
Today flea can be found in his lovely home in California with his lovely wife and retired scottish music teacher Agnes Badcrumble where he enjoys a sedeate life filled with decoupage and knitting jumpers for the less fortunate who reside "Under The Bridge Downtown". Flea has recently funded a music school called "Flea's school for kids who want to be good at music"
P.S. HA! you thought I forgot the references to the Chilis but I was saving the best for last!

November 2006
By Lawrence P. Farrell Jr.
Our enormous national appetite for energy at last has emerged as a national security issue. The Pentagon, fortunately, is now assuming a leadership role in areas spanning energy-saving technologies and alternative fuels.
While the Defense Department -- which accounts for about 1 percent of the nation's fuel expenditures -- alone cannot drive market forces, it is in fact the single largest consumer of petroleum fuels in the United States. Therefore, it is appropriate it takes the lead in energy-related initiatives and explores innovative technologies that could eventually transition to civilian society.
While it's not a glamorous subject, energy is critical to success on the battlefield, notes Rep. Joel Hefley, R-Colo., chairman of the House Armed Services readiness subcommittee. "The Air Force alone sees a $600 million increase in the annual cost of doing business for every $10 increase in the price of a barrel of oil," he points out. Although the majority of energy consumption in the Defense Department is for transportation, installation energy requirements also must be considered.
John Young, director of defense research and engineering, and Philip Grone, deputy undersecretary of defense for installations and environment, highlighted several key elements of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the department's fossil fuel requirements. They are co-chairs of Department of Defense Energy Security Task Force, which was established by the secretary of defense in April 2006.
According to its preliminary findings, the task force estimates that the military services have already made significant advances in energy efficiency and have reduced energy consumption during the past several decades. While the department currently relies on renewable sources for 9 percent of its electricity, its stated goal is to have 25 percent of its electricity fueled by renewable sources by 2025.
Young also identifies a number of research and engineering efforts to improve the energy efficiency of tactical vehicles and weapons platforms. Energy for mobility -- to power aircraft, ships and vehicles -- accounts for 74 percent of the department's total energy usage.
Michael Aimone, Air Force assistant deputy chief of staff for logistics, installations and mission support, says the Air Force intends to have at least 50 percent of aviation fuel derived from domestic supplies by 2016. To that end, he cites the recent successful test of a B-52 Stratofortress bomber using synthetic fuel.
The test was conducted using a 50/50 blend of crude oil refined jet fuel and a synthetically manufactured product. "To date, the aircraft has flown over six hours, and combined with over 50 hours of engine tests on the ground, we have not seen any deleterious effects on the engine, fuel system, or in the ground support equipment," says Aimone.
The Air Force also has requested the assistance of the defense energy support center, a Defense Logistics Agency field activity, in surveying industry to identify market conditions needed to produce 100 million gallons of synthetic jet fuel beginning in 2009. Richard Connelly, director of DESC, notes that 28 firms responded to the DESC solicitation.
Besides trying to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil, the military has other compelling reasons to reduce its reliance on traditional fuels. In late July, Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Richard Zilmer, the commander of U.S. forces in the al-Anbar province of Iraq, sent an urgent request to the Defense Department, asking for renewable energy systems to help reduce the demand for ground transportation convoys.
In response, the Army Rapid Equipping Force is evaluating industry proposals to build and ship to Iraq renewable-energy power stations that would use a combination of solar and wind technologies.
By reducing the need for petroleum-based fuels, Zilmer writes, "We can decrease the frequency of logistics convoys on the road, thereby reducing the danger to our Marines, soldiers and sailors."
The good news is that the military services already are way ahead of other sectors of the economy in the use of green energy. The Air Force is one of this nation's largest buyers of green power, says energy consultant Scott Sklar of The Stella Group Ltd. Fort Huachuca, Ariz., and Fort Bragg, N.C., employ solar and wind technologies to power buildings. China Lake, Calif., has invested in a portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy applications.
But for the Defense Department to have more impact as a national leader in the energy area, explains Sklar, it needs to do a better job disseminating information and gaining access to the technologies already available in the marketplace.
Zilmer's request for renewable energy sources could be met by any number of existing electric generation units powered by solar and wind, as well as fuel cells, advanced battery banks, small wind and thin film photovoltaics.
Facilities that create energy from waste already are a booming industry. One company already has an operating location which takes almost any kind of organic waste and converts it to a liquid fuel. The chairman of the NDIA Energy Security Committee recently visited this facility and can attest that it works.
The Air Force experiment with alternative fuels on a B-52 and a battlefield commander's call for alternative energy are just the opening shots in what promises to be a major research thrust for the Pentagon, the Department of Energy and the business sector.
Many of these issues will be explored further at an NDIA environmental conference scheduled for this spring in Columbus, Ohio. A significant portion of the conference will be devoted to energy issues. For additional information, please visit our Web site.

Just got home from training and Nugget blew both sits and downs. All week on a 50 foot check line with me al the way back he did them . I put hot dog out at 1 ft. 2 ft and 3 feet in front of him on the ground and he stayed . I had the neighbor boy ride his bike around him several times he stayed why won't he do it at class ? The squirrels were running all over he stayed the exciting leaves blew all over he stayed what is going on in his little mind? He did however do his outside turns and abouts in the heel position and didn't go wide. Recalls were happy and fast but lousy fronts and butt out finishes its back to the drawing boards for more and different distraction, gosh isn't it wonderful the way they can humble you.

So erm... class tonight was fun but we had a couple things that BOTHERED me and I'm chanting the "patience we both are learning" mantra.
Got to class a half hour early to practice directed jumping - and nearly chickened out when I saw she had the jumps over to the right practically in front of everyone. Not where I want to practice something for the second time ever. >.<
And Jacks decided he didn't like the bar jump. He liked the high jump. The bar jump he would only do it from the one direction. The other direction he was either rounding it or taking the high jump instead. Yes, Jack had it in his head he wanted to do the high jump.
Wednesday instructor is out of town this week and next week is Thanksgiving week... so I'm semi thinking about taking advantage of open floor this week and trotting over there to work on jumps and directed jumps.
And I have to go over to Home Depot at some point and pick up material to build my bar jump if I'm going to be able to practice this at home.
Heeling was actually very good - again. All off leash.
Figure 8 - again we had a VERY GOOD figure 8. I have been working on keeping a steady pace and it helps him.
Moving stand - we did one. And about the only good thing about it was he did a very good stop on signal. They were setting up jumps behind him and somebody dropped a board. Of course he jumped and nearly walked out of the stand position. He did hold it, but there was definite partial body turning and feet movement. I returned to heel position and took it.
Drop on recall - first was good, second was dud (took him ten feet to stop and then he dropped a foot away from me), third was very good.
Broad jump - first with target placed, second with treat tossed when he was in the air, and the third the only helper was me calling him to front when he landed and took a stride forward. I'm keeping him guessing about whether there will be a reward for jumping or how it will come, and hopefully he will continue to get better and better.
High jump - I took the low expectations route today and did not ask him to retrieve higher than 16". And I did two sessions with him. Second session was much better with me progressively helping him less each time. Last time I stayed where I was 8 feet behind the jump and only gave him a come reminder which he may or may not have needed. I plan to follow up the rest of this week with daily retrieves over low jumps and rebuild his confidence.
Signals - he actually did these pretty good considering we haven't done them at the Monday class in a long time. I should have quit after three reps which he aced perfectly with me 20 feet or so away. Our corner got a little tight and I was forced to kinda set us up on an angle. And that had him looking towards too many distractions for where he is in our training - he wasn't watching my hand signals and/or was anticipating the come and coming on the sit signal. So I pulled him out of the lineup and did signals+verbals and called it quits on good note.
Stays - hmm... debatable? He held his stays but his sit stay was simply horrible from all the butt squiggling. I went back a few times to put him back where I left him and remind him to stay. But he wiggled and jello-butted his way towards the wall behind him. When everyone else went back for the down stays, I grabbed a 4" board from the high jump and put it right behind his wiggly butt and put him back into a sit for the first 3 minutes. He did manage one wiggle towards the end and pushed the board back slightly, but it was much better. I'm mad at myself because I have both a container lid and a pvc sit box I can take to class with me, but I just never think about it. I'll have to stash it in my car for next week. His down stay I left him and wandered over to the side of the room where all the open people were... and I guess the positive is that other than his butt wiggling, he did not technically change positions at all.
The rest of this week - I'll use the sit box at home when I make him work for his dinner.
And I will do high jumps every day. Low ones for right now.
@Nugget's Dad - At least Nugget didn't look like he was doing a Zoolander. Like Jacks did. >.<

Megora don't know if you can afford it but J andJ dog training supplies sell jump sets in 3-4-5 foot widths that come in a nice carry bag and are very lit assemble easily and store in a small pkg. I bought the 5 foot model . They are nice and you can them were ear you go. The are on the web and are reputable, they also have a lot of other dog and training supplies. I think the jump set in 5ft size costs 250 bucks.

I like J&J. I've looked at their jumps in the past and have been messing with the idea of buying the bar jump at least because it looks a bit different than even a thick piece of pvc so I'd have to do some inventive shopping at home depot . Keep in mind I still have to buy articles and haven't yet because I'm a pinchpenny.
I already have a couple wooden posts for the bar jump, but I needed to get something to make them stand. Then I was going to drill holes in for pins. The cross post if I found one of the right size that wasn't too heavy and was either prepainted white or going to be painted white was going to get electric tape on it. <- A lot more work than asking HD guys to cut pvc pipe to the sizes I want, going home, and sticking them all together in other words.
If your looking for light weight these jumps are it , they are PVC and hollow the bar is hollow also. I doubt that high jump broad jump and bar jump plus bag and jump stick collectively weigh 20 lbs and can be set up in a very short amount of time very portable and easy to take to various locations but they aren't cheap maybe family could chip in for Xmas present worth a shot.
Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App
I don't really need the high jump or broad jump (I made those already), so the bar jump is only going to be $60-75 (w/shipping). And because I'm so cheap, that's something that makes me fidget because I know that wood and supplies from HD would run me less than $20.
And of course I want an article set ($99). I'm just going to pick up gardening or working gloves and I can make my own tie down mat.
It will come out of my pocket though. >.< I've asked my family to buy me dog and horse supplies for Christmas several Christmas in a row. But they'd rather buy me jewelry and clothes. Or they buy me horse and dog pictures and statues.... Which I'm not going to reject.... but.... it comes down to if you want something in particular, you pull out your own wallet.
Trained on my property with Nugget and of course the little stinker did his sits and downs without a hitch. Did all the the other exercises pretty well too other than heeling off leash because I don't do that here unless I go in the back yard which is kinda lumpy and I don't like going there. You right about pulling out your own wallet as I've been doing that since I was a kid and still do for my kids because they are always broke. They tell me that's what dads are for and my children are adults.

Charging Mobile Devices from Shutdown PCs Becomes Reality with Unique USB Chips from STMicroelectronicsUSB charger emulators featuring patented attach detection and unique charge-termination capability make mobile charging friendlier for the environment and users alike
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has perfected advanced features in its latest PC USB chips chips that significantly reduce the environmental impact of charging mobile devices.
ST's new STCC5011 and STCC5021 go a step further in saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions by allowing users to charge mobile devices from a USB port even when the computer is in software-controlled shutdown mode. Using a unique attach-detection feature, which is patented by ST and operates when the PC is shut down, the chips (called charger emulators) can detect when a mobile device has been connected. This enables the PC's power supply to be activated for charging. The chips also monitor current to turn the power supply off when charging is complete and thereby maximize the energy savings. Other charger emulators require the PC to be in working or sleep mode to charge the device, which consumes more power than when the PC is in shutdown mode.
Charging in PC shutdown mode with the STCC5011 or STCC5021 improves the energy efficiency of USB charging and makes it more convenient for end users. Moreover, when the USB port is active and waiting for a device to be connected for charging, ST's chips consume only 1/16 of the power of other charger emulators. This allows PCs to offer convenient USB charging with minimal impact on power consumption or PC battery life during normal use. Both chips have circuitry to avoid discharging the PC's battery, which allows even the most mobile of users to charge devices safely while using the PC on battery power alone.
The STCC5011 has a 1A charge-current limit suitable for Apple iPod® and iPhone®. The STCC5021 has a limit of 2A for charging iPad® as well as iPod and iPhone. Both chips are compatible with the USB battery charging standard BC1.2, USB2.0, USB3.0, and Chinese telecommunications standard YD/T 1591-2009, which mandates use of USB charging to reduce electronic waste and protect the environment. They also support proprietary chargers such as BlackBerry® charging mode, as well as Apple® divider mode (for 1A and 2A charging, as described above).
Major features of STCC5011/5021:
- Pin-selectable charger-emulation profiles
- USB2.0-compliant USB data switch with 1000MHz bandwidth
- Low-resistance (60mΩ) integrated power switch
- Built-in safety protection
- Charging-indication output in DCP (Dedicated Charging Port) and CDP (Charging Downstream Port) modes
- Support for remote wakeup in ACPI S3 mode (PC sleep mode)
- Device attachment detection in ACPI G2 mode (shutdown/soft-off, or S5)
The STCC5011 and STCC5021 are in production now, available in the VFQFPN 16-pin 3 x 3 x 0.8mm package, priced from $0.75 for orders over 1,000 pieces.

First, welcome to the CG and have some rep for posting a map right off the bat.
As far as a 'professional map', it depends on what you mean by professional. I've seen maps in just your style used in online atlases, and in print, and they look fine and are definitely functional. It depends on what you want the map to do; is it purely a political map? Then I'd say label everything (depending on the level of detail you want, that could be only country names, or everything down to the smallest political units and towns) and call it done. If you're showing industry or trade, you might want to purchase or create some icons to use that represent sheep or timber, or universities, or banks, etc to place. If you're showing wars, you would probably want to tone down the color scheme significantly since it would most likely distract from what you're trying to represent. It really depends on what your ultimate goal is here. I will say that's one of the best Paint maps I've seen in a long while.

The film of summer 2009 I was most excited in seeing did not disappoint. The tenth Pixar film might be their funniest and it doesn't skimp on the sincere tear-jerking moments as well. It was a risk making a 78-year-old man the protagonist of your animated fantasy adventure, but this film is from Pixar and director Pete Docter, who helmed MONSTER INC. and was a storyman on TOY STORY, TOY STORY 2 and WALL•E. People keep asking if kids will be able to relate to a septuagenarian hero. Carl Fredricksen is relatable to anyone who has ever loved someone.
Carl (Ed Asner, TV's THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW) was a kid when he met his wife Ellie (Elie Docter). They shared a love for adventurer Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer, THE INSIDER), who set out to find a mysterious bird that scientists claimed was a hoax. He never came back. Carl and Ellie had always planned to go to the same spot in South America, but as things go, life disrupts our plans. After her passing, Carl confines himself in their house, but an incident forces him to be put in a nursing home. Instead of going, the former balloon salesman attaches thousands of balloons to his house, lifting it off its foundation, and heads for Paradise Falls. The only problem is that eight-year-old wilderness explorer Russell (Jordan Nagai) was on his porch at the time he took flight.
Carl and Russell end up in South America where they can see Paradise Falls across the jungle. With the house tethered to their backs, they set out to place the house down in the exact spot Ellie always dreamed of. Along the way, Russell will pick up a few pets — Kevin, a quick and colorful bird, and Dug (co-director Bob Peterson), a dog with a collar that allows him to talk. He's a bit slow, but very loyal. Along the journey Carl and Russell get to know each other. They may be at the opposite ends of their lives, but they are in a similar emotional place. Their friendship is filled with great humanity. Carl has been cranky since Ellie passed, but still has a sharp wit. Russell is excitable, but he's a kid who has all the wilderness badges without ever having gone camping in his life.
The Pixar animators truly do what famed Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston said was so important about animation — make the audience understand what the characters are thinking. Carl's floating house isn't just a whimsical plot device, but the mementos of his life with his wife. Russell is desperate to get his final wilderness badge, but he has deeper reasons for this as well. Kevin isn't just a manic bird that likes to eat Russell's chocolate. The bird has a purpose too. Dug has a purpose as well. All he wants is to be loved by his master. What they all have in common is that their families have been disrupted and they're looking for adventure. But why are they looking for adventure? What hole are they trying to fill? These aren't pixels formed from sitcom script scraps, but characters with feelings.
These characters are woven into a colorful adventure. Their odd couple relationship creates a great deal of laughs. Talking dogs are funny too. They navigate thunderstorms, a real hazard in a house floating in the air on balloons. They encounter a pack of mean dogs, which like to humiliate. They have a run in with a lonely mad man in the jungle. They end up dangling from a zeppelin in a thrilling final sequence. And Carl accomplishes this with a cane and four trusty tennis balls attached to the crane's feet.
But it's the adventure of the heart that makes this film special. Carl had known his wife nearly his entire life. So what is he supposed to do now that she's gone? I'm reminded of the line from a very different kind of film SHAWKSHANK REDEMPTION — Get busy living or get busy dying. On his fantastic journey, Carl learns what's most important about this adventure called life. Paradise might not be solely located in South America.

Nice work as always GP!
My only nitpick, and its very, very minor would be the repetition of the pattern on the stockade wall, and I don't see how you can get around it without a whole lot of tediousness (is that a word?).
I'm starting a new D&D homebrew campaign, and at this moment more concerned with encounter locations than the region or world itself. Loosely working with my Celanta map - I'm gonna change it for this new campaign (cold on top, hot at the bottom), as well as having a Conan-esque flavor.
Unfortunately my players want D&D 3.5 fantasy, not sword and sorcery, so I'm taking out the demi-human races, but leaving the current level of magic, spell use and magic items. I want to be like Conan, like Jason and the Argonauts, like Odyseus, like Beowulf - the heroic age, and still keeping the players happy... this is a home brew.
The PCs will be barbarians from the cold north, a land still locked in the Ice Age with Plieostecene mammals (mastodons, cave bears, etc.), ogres, hags and giants with the last few remaining dragons in the world.
To the south are the Old Kingdoms (land of the Celts), the Empire of Cer and the Nine City-States further south, Egypt-like Umir (Lich Priest King) ruling a desert kingdom steeped in magic south of that, a steaming jungle rich with monsters and ruins beyond that, and a ruin of lost city from a past age at the horn at the World's End - only sea is south of that... it is the Campaign to World's End.
[WIP form, no furnishings yet...]
Craefort is a hill fort village, inhabited by the nine extended families of the Pictish Great Clan, Crae. The fort is built against a hill, with a stockade of great Sentinel Spruce trunks surrounds the base of the fort pierced by a single gate. The fort is really a network of interlocking longhouses, with larger common areas between.
1. The main entry to the fort from the yard with the stockade, is called the Hounds Hall, as the forts hounds are kept here, the houndmaster is quartered here with his dogs and family. The stablemaster and animal handlers of his extended family is in the longhouse chamber adjacent to the Hounds Hall, so he can be kept close to the stables in the yard. A ladder of stairs reaches the next level of the fortress.
2. Crafters Common and surrounding longhouse chambers belong to the various craftworkers of the clan including: timberwrights and woodcutters, spinners, wool-dyers and weavers, smiths and stoneworkers. Also on this level the longhouse chamber between areas 2 and 4 houses the Clan Sorcerer who works permanent enchantments through tattoos onto the clan warriors.
3. The old tower is a stone structure built by a Crae ancestor in a forgotten age long ago, the height of 3 stories, though only the base, stairs winding up to the roofed Watch Deck atop. The base serves as the fort's smithy, the most important craft of Crae. The Smiths longhouse chamber is beside the tower. A 10' rise of ladder steps access the tower from the chamber below.
4. The Chief's Great Hall - surrounded by the closest kin to the clanhead in four chambers. The men here serve the highest posts of the clan - Clan Druid, the Runemaster Bard and the Clan Champion, the longhouse chamber nearest the Great Hall, is Chief Malcolm Crae's abode. A short ladder of stairs rises from the Sorcerers chamber to halls of Crae.
I don't want my barbarians to be limited to warriors and shaman only, I desire a more complete culture of classes, though their isolation from the south still makes them barbarous in the comparison.
This will serve as the typical Pictish stronghold, though I may create a walled roundhouse farmhouse, a hamlet of 2 longhouses with a stockade, and a broch tower of a more powerful clan. Perhaps a couple monster caves too.
After that, I'm leaving the north and beginning the march south through the Old Kingdoms of Celts - the next part of the campaign to World's End!
PS: I'll be adding those other encounter areas to this same thread.

Now the Fort of Clan Crae is complete!
I "shrunk" the straw texture in a few places where they appeared to large. For SG I've moved the textures around in the stockade walls so they don't look so repetitive.
I placed torches on sconces along the walls of each chamber, I placed some barrels and crates for food and personal goods of the extended families in each longhouse chamber. I placed table and benches in every room. To give the Craft Common room a look of "craftiness" I placed a stretched skin to show work being done in this room
For the beds, I decided to use Tartan blankets (plaid), since they are supposed to be Pict, very close to being Scot - I thought Tartans were appropriate.
Finally I placed a throne chair for the Chieftan to sit with a tartan cushion.
This encounter site - the home base for my PCs is complete. Next I will create a few roundhouse hamlets, a broch tower (which should be cool), a crannog lake house (cool too!), and maybe some winter wilderness encounter areas, like a frozen river with an icebreak for a monster to attack from... more coming soon!

Very nice map, GP. I would rep you but it won't allow me (I need to spread it around a bit more). I get cold just looking at that map.

OK, I mentioned I wanted to work on a Broch Tower next, so did it!
Broch Towers are the coolest thing, a roughly 40 foot tall round tower built by Iron Age Picts over 2000 years ago. Mousa Broch on the Shetlands is nearly intact, though I love Dun Carloway Broch which though partially collapsed shows the unique structural aspects of a broch tower best.
Imagine two stone towers, one built inside the other. The internal tower is not quite as stout or sturdy as the outer tower, but is stable because of long flat rocks that connect the outer tower to the inner tower. These connecting stones are such that they are used as a stairway to walk between the tower walls upward to the higher floors. The outer tower is up to 18' thick at the base and just a few feet thick at the top.
As in my map, the ground floor was reserved for the fireplace in the center, sometimes firewood, and dry stores were kept in this level as well. Going up the "stairs" the first floor (above the ground floor) serves as the Great Hall. The next level up the sleeping quarters, while the top floor is usually reserved for storage and servants quarters.
The tower would be topped by a conical thatched roof. There is no chimney however, as the smoke would seep through the thatch and escape at the roof, which meant the both the second and third floors were always smokey.
The first photo below is for reference showing Dun Carloway Broch as a reference to the kind of structure I'm trying to recreate. I know my stairway is wider, but that's for playability rather than accuracy.
Then its my four floors of Donal Broch, of Clan Donal, a powerful Great Clan which will have a clan feud with the Crae's of Craefort. In the Donal treasury is an ancestral sword of Clan Crae, stolen during the last Winter War. The PCs will be trying to regain this item that belongs to their clan.
Even though Clan Donal is a more powerful clan than the Crae clan, their extended families reside in longhouses and roundhouses surrounding the base of this broch tower, outside its walls, but within its own stockade and gate.
Next I want to start working on my Crannog lake house - but I think I'd better finish up my December Challenge entry tomorrow, just to get that out of the way...

While I am currently in Toronto, I grew up in the snowbelt region of North-eastern Lake Ontario (near Kingston) so I know all about snow. Actually we have a ton of the stuff here in Toronto right now but I doubt it will last long after Christmas (I hope).
Man, those Broch Tower maps are freakin' awesome! You've outdone yourself, GP. I really have to spread some REP around so I can rep you again. Keep up the great work! I can always use more maps for my own games. *grin*

"Do infants have as much fun in infancy as adults do in adultery?" - Groucho Marx
I just love these prehistoric structures of Northern Britain. I've always wanted to map some for games, and I finally compelled myself to do so, with the D&D campaign I have planned. The next structure is Gandry Crannog.
A crannog is an artificial island built by Iron Age Picts and early Celts. Basically a shallow part of lake, not near the shore is located and timber pilings are driven in below the surface that raise high enough to be used as wall and roof supports. Once enough pilings are driven in - stones, sticks and mud is placed in layers until reaching the proposed floor level usually 3 to 4 feet above the water's surface. A large stone is placed top center to be used as a hearth for the center of the Crannog.
Once this stone flooring is in place, timbers are used to create a flat, useable floor with a hole opened to expose the hearth stone. The walls are usually constructed of woven vines tied to the upright timbers, then daub and wattle covers the vines for a weather-tight mud panel surface. The roof is thatched.
Also interesting an access path of placed stones located just beneath the waters surface so it can't easily be seen accesses the crannog to the shore. Usually these paths have a couple elbow turns - only the crannog men and their allies are aware. Enemies attempting to attack the crannog will often drown falling off the path into the deeper water. Path is hidden in this map.
In my storyline, Gandry Crannog is a lesser clan under Clan Crae, a runemaster bard is the chief of the crannog - a person sought by the PCs to learn more of their future quests.
Gandry Crannog - enjoy!

OK, a last minute Christmas Bonus to stick in your stocking... the Ogre's Den. I needed a little fantasy to brighten an otherwise mostly historical thread.
But I like to think on theories about Neandrethals, if mankind didn't interbreed them out of existence, we may have caused them to become extinct taking away shared resources to hunting them down.
If a small population of Neandrethal survived up to several thousand years ago living in the mountains hidden away from humans, but were larger, stronger, a distinctly human-like non-human race that wielded stone-age weapons... wouldn't you call them ogres? Could the last remaining neandrethals have been origins of the idea of ogres - just a thought.
Attached is the Ogre Den, an encounter for my World's End campaign, basically a cave in the mountains with an entry way, where a guardian ogre and his trusty dire wolf would sit searching the horizons for "man sign". A tunnel leads in. The larger chamber to the left houses the living quarters for the main ogre band with 6 ogre-sized bedding piles of straw around that roaring fire. No doubt smoke would be filling the upper reaches of this chamber exiting out the entry way - the cost of staying out of the weather.
The smaller chamber to the right is the Shaman Hag's chamber. [In my world there are no female ogres, instead there are annis hags who are my ogre females. Ogres are a matriarchal society led by sorceress/druidess hags. They are eager to eat the flesh of men, and hunt them vigorously during the bleak months of winter.
A caged area to the north of this chamber holds victims both for sacrefice but for food as well. Two bed areas are there, the bottom right bed is nearest the "fireplace" niche is where the hag sleeps. At the center of this chamber is the sacreficial rock with a celtic symbol of eternity carved from its surface soaked with the last victims blood.
Merry Christmas, enjoy!

Perseus is a clothing store in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V that sells expensive suits and flashy clothes. It is one of only three clothing chains where the player can purchase clothes in GTA IV, the other two being the Russian Shop and Modo, but it is the most upscale clothing store available to the player in the game. Perseus is based on Versace and Hermes. Evidence for a Versace link can be send on Versace logos, which features the head of Medusa. In Greek mythology, Perseus was a Greek hero who killed Medusa by beheading her, and he is also shown on the Perseus logo in game. The Perseus logo is stylistically very similar to the Hermès logo, and both brands are named after characters in Greek/Roman mythology.
Carmen Ortiz and Alex Chilton prefer Niko to wear clothes from Perseus.
The stores are not accessible in both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
DescriptionThere are two Perseus shops in Liberty City, both in Algonquin, but the clothes remain the same; one is in Middle Park East and the other is in The Exchange. There is no cash register and a guard, who will tell Niko to "use it or put it away" if he has a weapon equipped. In certain missions, such as Final Interview, Three Leaf Clover, Undertaker, Pegorino's Pride and Mr. and Mrs. Bellic, you have to wear clothing from Perseus. Marcus (the store attendant and customer assistant of Perseus, whose name is only revealed in The Ballad of Gay Tony) often compliments Niko if he is wearing clothes from Perseus.
The player can download a Perseus theme for their phone via Vipluxuryringtones.com. The player also gets a text message from Brucie Kibbutz soon after unlocking Algonquin, following Blow Your Cover, telling him to "look VIP" and buy some clothes from Perseus.
Being a top-of-the-line business, Perseus has an elegant appearance inside and out. Inside is Marcus, who serves as the attendant cashier, and one security guard. The guard will yell at Niko should he be holding a weapon. There are two rows of clothing and some additional clothing hanging on the wall.
Marcus's attitude towards the player depends on how the player is dressed. He remarks favorably towards any article of clothing the player wears that has been purchased from Perseus. While generally commenting negatively towards other forms of clothing. For example, should the player wear a Perseus suit with boots from the Russian Shop, Marcus may praise the suit, but recommends changing the shoes to some from Perseus.
In relation to his seemingly fashionable behavior, Marcus can be scared off easily and has a high-pitched voice. If Niko harms him, he runs off and the security guard attacks Niko starting a fight.
List of clothing
Unlike those from the Russian Shop and Modo, available suits are sold with both pants and a top (jacket and shirt/turtleneck, with an occasional tie). However, certain slacks and footwear are still sold separately.
Note that certain articles of Perseus clothing differ between the console and PC versions. These include the "turtleneck" suits, which are replaced in the PC version by three-button jacket and vest suits; the generic three-piece suit, the jacket of which is unbuttoned in the console versions, but buttoned up in the PC version; and the loafers and Suede Bucks, which are replaced in the PC version by Oxfords and Suede Wingtips, respectively. Their colors remain generally consistent.
The following lists all available clothing in Perseus. The names of the clothing in the PC version are italicized:
|Charcoal Suit
|Double-Breasted Jacket, Ebony w/ Turtleneck and Charcoal Pants (Three Button Jacket, Ebony and Vest w/ Charcoal Pants)
|Carbon Suit Slacks
|Black Loafers (Black Oxfords)
|Double-Breasted Jacket, Granite w/ Turtleneck and Basalt Pants (Three Button Jacket, Granite and Vest w/ Basalt Pants)
|Double-Breasted Jacket, Iron w/ Turtleneck and Obsidian Pants (Three Button Jacket, Iron and Vest w/ Obsidian Pants)
|Charcoal Slacks
|Brown Loafers (Brown Oxfords)
|Double-Breasted Jacket, Lead w/ Turtleneck and Ash Pants (Three Button Jacket, Lead and Vest w/ Ash Pants)
|Obsidian Suit
|Espresso Slacks
|Black Wingtips
|Onyx Suit
|Perseus Cream Sportcoat w/ Carbon Pants
|Slate Suit Slacks
|Brown Wingtips
|Perseus Mustard Sportcoat w/ Onyx Pants
|Perseus Slate Suit w/ Red Shirt
|Patterned Loafers (Beige Oxfords)
|Perseus Charcoal Suit w/ Floral Shirt
|Perseus Ash Suit w/ Silk Shirt
|Suede Bucks (Suede Wingtips)
|Slate Suit
- The guard in Perseus is the same NPC model as the man outside the LC Fight Club, and Abdul Amir's bodyguard, as shown in the mission Caught with your Pants Down.
- Strangely, if you get into a fight with the guard at Perseus and the police see him attacking Niko, they will fire at the bodyguard, not even attempting to arrest him.
- When you purchase a full suit at Perseus (a suit that includes both a jacket and trousers) the game automatically changes your previous top/bottoms to those of the full suit. However, the full suits can still be combined with clothes from Modo or the Russian Shop. This can be done by purchasing clothes from either shop while wearing the Perseus suit. This can be accomplished in the wardrobe also, by selecting a full suit and accepting to wear it, but then re-entering the Wardrobe and navigating through other purchased clothing (when navigating through the wardrobe, push the analogue stick to the right, this will avoid re-selecting a full suit. If you do select a full suit by accident, leave the wardrobe and re-enter it).
- The name "Perseus" most likely refers to the mythological character Perseus, though it might be the Estonian "Perse uss", which means "assworm".
- Perseus, along with Modo and the Russian Shop cannot be entered in The Lost And Damned or The Ballad Of Gay Tony.
- Apparently, Marcus had his nipple pierced. When you run into him, he may say, "Ow, you hurt my nipple ring!".
- It's possible to kill the cashier and the guard by pushing them into the shelves and tables in the store and the player will not gain any wanted stars for killing them. However, the game will still chide the player, stating "You cannot buy clothes if there is nobody alive to man the cash register. Control yourself.".
- Perseus may be open before the first bridge is unlocked as in The Lost And Damned Credits, Niko can be seen wearing a Perseus outfit even though you can also see that the bridge is still closed.
- Perseus can be found in GTA V however inaccessible.
- Tracey's number plate on her car says "P3RSEUS"
- A large inaccessible Perseus can be found on Portola Drive in Rockford Hills, Los Santos.

Just after midnight Sunday, the Department of Transportation said the 90 mile detour for some commuters was over.
While the Alligator River Bridge in Dare and Tyrrell Counties was scheduled to reopen Sunday, the DOT said some parts broke during repair work and the reopening would have to be pushed back.
However, at 12:17 a.m. on Monday, the NCDOT said the bridge was open.
Crews will be taking down detour signage Monday.
Previous Story:
The Alligator River Bridge in Dare and Tyrrell Counties which was scheduled to reopen Sunday, will remain closed for the time being.
The NC Department of Transportation says that a part used to keep the bridge closed and supports the weight of vehicles, broke during repairs. Crews are working to find replacement parts, however the part may have to be custom made if a replacement is not located, which may delay the reopening a few days.
The U.S. 64 bridge had been undergoing repairs for the past 2 weeks on the draw bridge portion.

Even if you didn't watch a second of the NBA playoffs last summer, you might have an image of the finals burned into your brain. Not of a winning shot, but of a pair of oversized fire-engine red plastic glasses (no lenses, naturally) perched on the face of Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook during a postgame press conference. And then there was the accompanying shirt: an eye-popping Prada button-up splashed with colorful vintage cartoon drawings. The Thunder ultimately fell to the Miami Heat, but Westbrook soundly stomped the rest of the league in the wardrobe department. He's since become something of an avatar for basketball's newfound fashion sense, a dandyish breed of nerd-chic that pushes back against the baggy-shorts sensibility ushered in by the University of Michigan's Fab Five team in the early '90s.
Now Westbrook's stylistic flash is part of his on-court presence, too. He recently signed on as the latest representative for Nike's iconic Jordan Brand, and debuted the XX8 shoe in the new Barclays Center when the Thunder first took on the Brooklyn Nets. The aesthetic of the new Air Jordan—which is encased in a zip-up black shell reminiscent of scuba gear—has received mixed feedback, but Westbrook seems to be wearing them in just fine: he scored 25 points and offered nine assists during the Thunder's win against the Nets. We caught up with Westbrook after his Brooklyn debut to talk fashion, social media, and haters.
My friend has a painting of you wearing the red glasses in his bathroom, and it ended up on your Instagram a couple of weeks ago. How'd you find it?
RUSSELL WESTBROOK Somebody sent that to me! It's great.
You hashtagged it #trendsetter.
RW Yes. From time to time I definitely start seeing people do things after I've done them, especially on Twitter and other social media. People always hashtag my name.
Have you retired the glasses?
RW No, but I haven't worn them in a while—I'll only wear them if the outfit presents itself.
You've been playing well with the XX8s, which are pretty crazy looking. What did you think when you first saw them?
RW The shoes are...very interesting. They're different, but it's a great shoe. Most of my teammates didn't like them when they were off my feet, but when I put them on they eventually changed their minds.
Did you debut them at the Barclays Center because you wanted Jay-Z to see them?
RW No, Jay-Z wasn't there. It was a marketing thing—a good opportunity to wear them in a new arena.
Oklahoma City isn't known to be the most fashionable place. Where do you shop?
I do it on the road when we go to big cities—New York, L.A. I also do a lot of online shopping from places like TopMan, FarFetch, and Urban Outfitters.
What sort of designers or specific items are you into right now?
RW Right now I'm really into Paul Smith, but I wear everything. I'm into cutoff jean jackets, leather stuff…
Then you're lucky to be a smaller-sized basketball player.
RW Definitely. I don't have to get anything custom-fitted from designers, which is a blessing.
Do other players ever resent you for your style reputation?
RW They do try to clown on me from time to time, but I don't pay them any mind. If anything, though, they're trying to figure me out, to see what I'm going to wear next.
Do you feel a constant pressure to dress up now off-court?
RW I don't worry about that because I dress naturally. I don't [intentionally] get dressed up a lot—like, I'm in sweats right now.
Are you ever concerned that the style thing will be a distraction from your athletic career?
RW I don't. The court is a different thing.
