The Enus Cognoscenti (pronounced as Con-Yo-Centi) is a luxury sedan or limousine appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V. 'Enus' is most likely a luxury division of 'Benefactor', as Maybach is to Mercedes-Benz, although this theory may be incorrect as Enus also manufacture both the Super Diamond and Super Drop Diamond, both resembling Rolls Royces.
The Cognoscenti is mostly based on the Maybach 62 and Bentley Continental Flying Spur, in nature as well as its general appearance. To distinguish the car, cues for the front end seem to be taken from cars like the 2005–2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur or the 1999–2005 Rover 75. The rear also has some resemblance of a MG ZT or Lancia Thesis. Some design cues of the Cognoscenti bear vague likenesses to various Maseratis, most notably the Quattroporte. The car may appear with one-tone or two-tone colors. The Cognoscenti features a wheelbase long enough to qualify for a limousine classification, but is still shorter in length to the Stretch. Nevertheless, police chatter will refer to the car as a stretch limo. It has the same interior as the Schafter, complete with a Benefactor logo on the steering wheel.
All versions in GTA IV come with alarms, but the ones at Pegorino's house do not trigger when the doors are opened. Like the Turismo at Mikhail Faustin's house in Beachgate, Broker, it will trigger when a window is smashed in a full speed collision.The name "Cognoscenti" is probably a parody of Continental.
For the GTA Chinatown Wars rendition, the design of the car has been reduced in size to that of a standard four-door sedan, but retains many of its GTA IV design cues, such as the two-tone body color and fascia design.
In GTA IV, the Cognoscenti is one of the larger cars in the game, with an exceptionally long body for a sedan. The weight and length of the car make it more of a vanity vehicle than one useful for missions; its handling is inferior to other sedans found throughout the city, however its top speed of 199 mph (318 km/h) is considerable and acceleration is also on-par with other sedans (0-60 in 7.4 seconds). However, it boasts a powerful engine, most likely based off a W12, and rear wheel drive, so slides and oversteer can be achieved. The suspension has a good balance of soft/firm, which irons out bumps in the road, meaning that the car doesn't over-compensate over the bumps, whilst not jarring over them either. The car is slightly clunky in the corners but given time has superior straight line speed. This car is a good option for loading up several people and making a fast getaway but be careful in the corners you can easily crash and get caught. Lastly, the cars mass makes it useful as well against both police cruisers and roadblocks, simply floor the accelerator and smash through them.
The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition is more maneuverable, given its shorter wheelbase and size, allowing the car to accelerate faster and steer around corners more easily. Other considerable features include its responsive brakes and burnout capability. This makes the Cognoscenti one of the better four-door sedans in the game.
Variants and other prominent appearances
- Anthony "Tony Black" Spoleto, the Ancelotti's capo, owns a black Cognoscenti (befittingly), which is blown up in "Actions Speak Louder than Words".
- A unique baby blue Cognoscenti is requested in Stevie's Car Thefts. The car will be constantly spawn in Alderney City, Alderney until it is delivered to Stevie, allowing the player to store one at their safehouse before delivering another copy to Stevie.
- A uniquely pearl white-painted Cognoscenti can be stolen outside Gracie Ancelotti's home in Alderney City approximately two weeks after the player completes "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend", when she appears as a random character. The car will be parked in the driveway to the house, and will keep respawning until the mission is completed, so the player can take it without doing the mission. Sometimes when the player activates the cheat to spawn a Cognoscenti, a pearl white one will appear.
- During "Mr and Mrs Bellic", there is a gray and black Cognoscenti with a wedding ribbon over the front of the car's bonnet parked up outside the church which the player is required to head to. If the player approaches the car, the next cutscene will play and it will be unobtainable. However, it is possible to take the car by firing a weapon while across the street, scaring off the guests and failing the mission. The same Cognoscenti is featured in both of the final missions, sans the ribbon but there you can obtain it by take it and drive to the Alderney safehouse.
- In The Lost and Damned, a unique red Cognoscenti is obtainable during "Phone Ho'" for "Stubbs' Dirty Laundry", during which a politician rides it to pick up a prostitute. If the player is quick enough, they can take it after the mission and save it.
GTA Chinatown Wars
- Uncle Kenny loans a purple-and-white Cognoscenti to Huang Lee in Pursuit Farce. Other than its color (which is not seen on other Cognoscentis) and its bigger size, it's virtually the same.
- A gang variant of the Cognoscenti exists, being used by the "Mob" in Algonquin, and is distinguished by its larger size, an all-dark gray body color, and a sunroof.
- Rudy D'Avanzo drives away in a bulletproof grey-and-white Cognoscenti after Grave Situation and uses the same one (no longer bulletproof) as a getaway car in A Rude Awakening.
- During Evidence Dash, after stealing Heston's car, the Cognoscentis with sirens will follow you and try to kill you. Although having a siren, you can't turn it off. And if you put the car in a garage, the siren will disappear, making it a normal Cognoscenti.
- There is also a rare wedding version that is found randomly outside of Wade Heston's house. NOTE: It does not appear every time. It is purely random.
- In Italian, Cognoscente means a connoisseur or an expert in a certain field, usually the fine arts, while cognoscenti is the plural form of the word.
- In GTA IV, the default radio station in the Cognoscenti is The Journey, and Self-Actualization FM in Episodes from Liberty City.
- The Cognoscenti has hard-to-see front turning lights. They are located above the external headlights as small, white lights.
- The Cognoscenti comes with a "door ajar" chime which can be heard when door is open in quiet areas with volume turned up.
- The Cognoscenti is the only vehicle manufactured by Enus in GTA IV and The Lost and Damned; Enus' line of vehicle is expanded in The Ballad of Gay Tony with the inclusion of the Super Diamond and Super Drop Diamond.
- The word Cognoscenti (pronounced Con-Yo-Senti) could be a sexual reference to the Spanish "coño" (also pronounced Con-Yo) meaning "cunt" and "cento" (pronounced Sen-to) meaning one hundred. This would result in the whole name meaning "one hundred cunts". This could be one of Rockstar Games' many sexual references.
- Purchasable for $600 at the Auto Merchant.
- When the car's engine is shut off and then restarted, it sometimes will not make a sound. This bug also applies to the NRG-900, Bullet GT and Tug.
- It also appears in Rockstar`s Max Payne 3 as a car in repairing process.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars there's a glitch that happens with this car. In Meadows Park there's always a house with a Cognoscenti in front of its garage, so if you lack one, pick it up. Drive around Meadows Park and when you see a house with a little garden and a ramp in it, get into the garden. Put the car in the side that's closer to the wall. Stay there for a few seconds. Your car will be teleported to the road again.
- For a large car, it is surprisingly fast and even though it is not good in races and fast paced chases, if you need to carry 4 people, this car is a very good choice.
- GTA IV & Episodes from Liberty City
- Two at Jimmy Pegorino's house in Westdyke, Alderney, one outside and one inside the garage.
- Rare pearl white variant outside Gracie Ancelotti's house when she is a random character.
- Sometimes found around The Exchange, Algonquin, Liberty City.
- Sometimes, can be found driving around the terminal at The Francis International Airport
- Can be spawned by cheat-code, 227-555-0142 (will not block any trophies/achievements).
- The car in which Jacob waits in Out of Commission/A Revenger's Tragedy is a Cognoscenti with dark-tinted windows.
- Sometimes found around BOABO, Broker.
- Often spawns in Middle Park East after loading your game back to Niko's apartment in that neighborhood.
- GTA Chinatown Wars
- Spawns commonly in more affluent areas of the city, such as Willis and Meadow Hills in Dukes, and the southern half of Algonquin.
- Parked at the driveway of the northwesternmost house in Meadow Hills, Dukes.
- The "Mob" variant commonly spawns in and around Little Italy, Algonquin.
- The "Mob" variant can be purchased at the Auto Merchant in BOABO, Broker.

Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - A trip to the Alamo with a chance to pull
even atop the Western Conference awaits for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kevin
Durant tallied 23 points and 11 rebounds in the Thunder's 91-79 win over
the Boston Celtics. At 47-16, Oklahoma City is chasing the San Antonio Spurs
for the top seed in the west. The Thunder have won eight of their last
nine tilts and can pull even for the top spot with a win against the Spurs
Monday. Russell Westbrook added 15 points in the victory. Jeff Green finally
made his initial appearance in Oklahoma City since the Thunder shipped him
to Boston in the Kendrick Perkins trade on Feb. 24, 2011. He missed the
following season after open heart surgery, but finally returned and netted
just eight points on 2-of-11 shooting. Paul Pierce recorded 20 points for
the Celtics, who had their five-game winning streak snapped.
Final Score: LA Lakers 90, Chicago 81
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - All Kobe Bryant wanted a month ago was to
make the playoffs. He finally has his Los Angeles Lakers back on the right
side of the standings. Bryant tallied 19 points, nine assists and seven
rebounds in the Lakers' 90-81 win over the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers began the
campaign 17-25, but have rebounded by going 16-6 since to leap frog the Utah
Jazz by a half-game for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western
Conference. Dwight Howard added 16 points and 21 boards for Los Angeles, which
has won six straight games at Staples Center. Joakim Noah finished with 18
points and 17 rebounds for the Bulls, who have dropped three of their last
four tilts. Nate Robinson recorded 19 points and eight assists in defeat.
Final Score: Miami 105, Indiana 90
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Despite its lengthy winning streak, Miami came
into Sunday's contest with something to prove against a Pacers team which had
blown them out twice already this season. The Heat did just that as Dwyane
Wade, Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers combined for 73 points to extend Miami's
franchise-best winning streak to 18 games in a 105-90 blowout victory over
Indiana down in South Beach. Wade scored 23 points and had six steals to
lead a defensive charge in which the Heat forced the Pacers into 18
turnovers. Bosh shot 11-for-15 and had 24 points with three blocks and
Chalmers buried 5-of-6 from long distance en route to a game-high 26. LeBron
James chipped in with 13 points, seven assists and six boards in the victory
for the Heat, who had lost by double-digits in both prior meetings this
season with Indiana. David West scored a team-high 24 points. Paul George
struggled for 10 points on 2-for-11 shooting for Indiana, which was the last
team to defeat Miami back on Feb. 1.
Final Score: Orlando 99, Philadelphia 91
Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Jameer Nelson netted 24 points to go with 10
assists, as the Orlando Magic outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers, 99-91, on
Sunday at Amway Center. Arron Afflalo followed with 17 points, while
former Sixer Nikola Vucevic posted 14 points and 17 rebounds to help the
Magic snap a seven-game home losing streak. Thaddeus Young scored a game-
high 26 points and grabbed 12 boards for the Sixers, who have lost 13
straight on the road.

rebounds, as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers,
100-96, on Sunday. Alan Anderson had a team-high 18 points, Kyle Lowry had
15 points and nine rebounds and DeMar DeRozan had 13 points for the
Raptors, who came into the game off a 118-116 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Dion Waiters scored a game-high 21 points, Kyrie Irving added 12 points and
Tristan Thompson recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds for
the Cavaliers, who have lost four of their last five games.
Final Score: Dallas 100. Minnesota 77
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Vince Carter scored 22 points and grabbed
nine boards as the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves,
100-77, on Sunday. Carter shot 8-of-15 from the field, including 4-of-5 from
behind the arc. Dirk Nowitzki had 16 points and nine rebounds, Brandan Wright
scored 13 points and Elton Brand recorded a double-double with 10 points
and 12 rebounds for the Mavericks, who are on a three-game winning streak.
Derrick Williams had 18 points and nine rebounds and J.J. Barea scored 16
points off the bench for the Timberwolves, who have lost eight of their last
nine games.
Final Score: New Orleans 98, Portland 96
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Ryan Anderson's go-ahead 3-point play with
1.8 seconds left proved to be the difference as the New Orleans Hornets held
on for a 98-96 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Anderson put
in the go-ahead bucket as he fought through a Jared Jeffries foul underneath
the hoop. He finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds to help the Hornets
snap a three-game losing streak. Greivis Vasquez chipped in 20 points and
rookie Anthony Davis continued his strong play as of late for New Orleans,
totaling 18 points with 10 rebounds. Damian Lillard had the Trail Blazers
ahead by one with 11.2 seconds left after answering an Anderson triple with
one of his own. He ended with 20 points and eight assists for Portland,
which had come in as winners in four of its last six. Wesley Matthews scored
a game-high 24 points, but misfired on the potential game-winning basket as
time expired. J.J. Hickson contributed 14 points and 14 boards in the setback.
Final Score: Milwaukee 115, Sacramento 113
Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Monta Ellis had 29 points with nine assists
and the Milwaukee Bucks survived, 115-113, at Sleep Train Arena despite a
furious comeback from the Sacramento Kings. The Kings cut a 15-point fourth-
quarter deficit to one with 6.6 seconds left, but Ellis calmly sank a pair
from the line to increase Milwaukee's edge to three. The Bucks then fouled
Sacramento's Jimmer Fredette to prevent him from tying the game with a 3-
pointer, but after splitting a pair from the line, he got the rebound and
kicked it out to Tyreke Evans, whose desperation heave at the buzzer just
missed the mark.
Final Score: LA Clippers 129, Detroit 97
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Blake Griffin scored 22 points and Chris
Paul recorded 20 points and 14 assists to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a
129-97 rout of the Detroit Pistons. Both Griffin and Paul shot 9-of-12 from
the field for the Clippers, who came into the game off a 107-92 loss at
Denver on Thursday. Matt Barnes scored 16 points while going a perfect 5-
for-5 from 3-point range, while Caron Butler added 15 points to the win. Jose
Calderon had a team-high 18 points while Jonas Jerebko recorded 14 points and
eight rebounds for the Pistons, who are on a five-game losing streak. Greg
Monroe, Brandon Knight and Will Bynum scored 10 points apiece in the loss.

The Gold Key To Nongu Award For Theories
Posted by bonesiii , Sep 26 2007 · 1,442 views
Today marks the third theory to recieve this award, so I thought this would be a good time to post a blog entry about it. The following is what is posted in the topic for any theory that wins this new award:
Disclaimer: The Gold Key to Nongu Award does not certify theory accuracy. The sponsor of the Gold Key to Nongu Award does not neccessarily endorse and/or oppose said theory. The sponsor of the Gold Key to Nongu Award remains ignorant of the exact meaning of the word "Nongu." The originator of the term "Nongu" may or may not be insane. Not available in some domes, void where prohibited.
The Key to Nongu award is something I've been meaning to create in some form for years, as far back as when Ninjo was still active, but I never got around to it. Recently I decided again to make it, but for a while there were no theories that struck me as really qualifying (though I don't catch every theory, to be fair).
However, in the past two weeks S&T has burst to life again, and really right now it feels like just about everything is coming together in theories. They might not end up being right, but they are still great theories (and a few have proven at least partly right!). So they deserve some sort of formal recognition. As such, this award has now been formed, and will be awarded to whomever I see fit in the future as well.
If you haven't already read the topics, check out the blog sidebar list of winners!
Please use comments in this blog entry to nominate theories for this award, post questions, comments, etc.

Members of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee wrapped up hearings today on a $6.3 billion budget proposal from Gov. Paul LePage. The goal now is for lawmakers to try and hammer out a competing plan that can win two-thirds approval in both the House and Senate. As A.J. Higgins reports, both parties remain optimistic that consensus can be reached. But Republicans warn that things could fall apart if Democrats insist on a plan that contains any new taxes.
On this last day of public hearings on the two-year budget plan, advocates for programs like Head Start turned out to make a final case. Head Start is a federally-funded program for children ages 3 to 5 that provides preschool and nutrition and medical services. It took $2 million cut in last year's budget and would be flat funded at just under $1 million.
Doug Orville, the executive director for Child and Family Opportunities that oversees the Head Start program in Ellsworth, says program cuts have already eliminated services for 226 children statewide, and is now being hit again.
"Maine Head Start providers are now absorbing an additional $1.7 million cut due to the federal sequestration, and we're currently trying to figure out how we're going to deal with those cuts," Orville said. "And it appears likely that that's going to lead to the loss of about 300 additional Head Start slots here in Maine."
And Mary Henderson, of the Maine Children's Alliance, told the committee that it's critical that Head Start get its $2 million back.
"For over 25 years, I've had various opportunities to work with Head Start families and staff and I've always come away incredibly impressed, especially with the parents that I've met," she says. "Invariably, they, with Head Start support, have overcome circumstances that probably would have crushed any ordinary person - certainly they would have crushed me."
The LePage administration is basking its spending plan on a so-called performance-based rating system, which in theory is designed to link the funding for a give program to its epxected results. Some Democrats are questioning the theory.
"We need to know more about what does it mean to have a performance-based program," said House Speaker Mark Eves. "I think there's a lot of questions that the department needs to answer."
House Speaker Mark Eves says Democrats will seek those answers from Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew next week. Still, Eves has high hopes for bipartsian agreement among the 13 members of the Appropriations Committee, which he believes will produce a better budget than the one proposed by the governor.
"As always, we're giving the Appropriations Committee members encouragement to find alternatives to the governor's budget, because what we know now from the public testimony is this isn't going to work for Maine's economy and the middle class," Eves said.
House Republican Leader Ken Fredette says that even Gov. LePage isn't thrilled with the results of his own budget plan, and that Republicans on the committee are working to develop improvements. But he says consensus could be hard to reach if Democrats insists on introducing new sources of revenue.
"The clear indications are that I think that they're looking to raise taxes - maybe income taxes, maybe sales taxes - but Republicans would generally be opposed to that," Fredette said.
Fredette says he hopes that the Appropriations Committee's work on the budget is well under way by the end of the month.

A man remains locked up, accused of sex crimes involving a child.
27-year-old David Holley of Greenville was arrested by the Pitt County deputies and charged with 3 counts of indecent liberties with a child. Jail officials say that Holley was brought to the detention center Saturday around 7:30 p.m.
Deputies say back in March they received a report of a possible sex offense involving Holley and the victim. They say the offenses happened between April 1st of last year and March 1st of this year.
Deputies would only say the victim in this case is less than 15-years-old and is not related to Holley.
Holley is being held on a $100,000 secured bond and went before a District Court judge this morning for his first appearance.

The Vapid Steed is a box truck featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
DesignThe Steed closely resembles a 1992-1996 Ford Econoline delivery truck, and as such may be seen as a "successor" to the GTA III Era Mule, which was also depicted as a Ford E-Series box truck (the Mule reappears in the GTA IV Era alongside the Steed, however this new take on the Mule is based on the Isuzu Elf).
The Steed comes with various company names on the sides, such as, 24/7 Supermarkets, Krapea, Liberty Tree, Logger Beer, Raine, and Üder Milkén. As is with the majority of delivery vehicles, the Steed may also been seen with graffiti on its cargo hold. It also can have a blank variant with no company names or grafitti.The Steed has a minor design flaw. The front license plate is notably smaller than the rest of Liberty City's license plates.
The Steed's engine is possibly a diesel V8 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox. Like most large vehicles, the Steed has poor acceleration and handling, but it has a very good top speed for a vehicle of its size at 103 mph. The braking, however, is very good with ABS as a standard equipment. Despite its height, the Steed doesn't tip over easily.
- The default radio station in the Steed is Liberty City Hardcore.
- The police radio calls the Steed an industrial van (because it's based on one) instead of a truck. Because it's a van, it doesn't have beeping reverse tone on trucks.
- Upon delivery of all thirty cars for Stevie, when he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, the Steed may be sold for $4,000.
- Steed is also known as a horse to ride on.
- Parked in Fulcrum Avenue, Tudor, Alderney.
- Used in the mission Catch the Wave for Phil Bell, in which the player infiltrates the boatyard with the truck.
- Common on Charge Island.
- Sometimes seen driving on the East Borough Bridge in South Bohan, Bohan.
- Used as a drug transport vehicle during TBOGT Drug Wars.

An estimated 280 million tons of plastic is produced globally every year. Most of it is not recycled, which means it ends up either in landfills - or in the ocean. Environmental researchers are growing increasingly concerned by what happens when this plastic breaks down into smaller particles known as microplastics, and the effect it can have on marine life. This concern has prompted one research organization Downeast to start taking serious measures to monitor the level of plastic contamination in the Gulf of Maine. Tom Porter has the story.
A 33-foot former lobster boat motors away from the public landing out into Blue Hill Bay. The research vessel MERI (above) has been repurposed and is now "fishing" for plastic - or to be more precise, microplastics.
MERI stands for the Marine Environmental Research Institute, a non-profit based in Blue Hill that studies ocean pollution.
With captain George Napp at the helm, the institute's coastal monitoring co-ordinator Abby Barrows starts taking water samples - either straight into a jar off the back of the boat, or with the help of a tow net. The results, she says, are alarming.
"Every single sample of water that we've taken - one litre - has had at least a piece of plastic in it," Barrows says. "I mean, to me that's mind-boggling - the environmental repercussions are huge."
Microplastic is the generic name given to pieces of plastic that have broken down into particles of 5 millimeters or less in diameter. Most pieces are too small to see with the naked eye. They get into the ocean in two ways: either through waste water or runoff - a testament to the amount of plastic found in everyday household items, like hygiene products and synthetic fibers; or they appear as larger items of plastic debris in the ocean, and break down into smaller pieces over time.
Barrows says this is a relatively new area of scientific research. But it's clear, she says, that microplastics have the potential to wreak serious havoc on the ecosystem. "The issue with microplastics is that plastics are made from oil, and oil is essentially a fat," and many chemicals in the environment, she explains, are attracted to fats and absorbed by the plastic.
"And so we have these tiny little pieces of plastic that are floating around in the ocean, absorbing all these different chemicals that are also in the ocean," Barrows says. "Therefore we're having these small, very highly-concentrated toxic sponges that are now being ingested by every animal you can think of."
It's a concern which has prompted the Marine Environmental Research Institute to expand its ocean monitoring program. This year for the first time, MERI has begun recruiting volunteers - citizen scientists who will collect regular samples from various points in Penobscot Bay.
Back on the waterfront, Barrows conducts a training session for two of the volunteers. "So what you'll do is you'll wade into the water as high as your boots - or maybe you'll be without boots," she says. Using a glass jar to collect samples of sea water, Barrows demonstrates the procedure.
There's more to it than you might think. For example, consider what you wear: A lot of clothing today contains synthetic materials, which can emit particles of microplastic and contaminate your sample. The prevalence of plastic in the world has been concerning Blue Hill resident Gabrielle Wellman for some time now.
"Just seems like once you get something plastic you can't throw it away, there's nowhere for it to go," she says. "So I'm pretty concerned with its usage."
Wellman is one of the nine volunteers being trained - as is Ben Jackson of Stonington. "This is high school science. This is my level," he says.
Wellman regularly attends public lectures at MERI, and says he's looking forward to playing the role of citizen scientist. "This is just simple data, you know? Water in a jar, take it to the lab - but the effects, I think, could be huge."
For the next three months, volunteers like Ben and Gabrielle will collect weekly ocean water samples from different sites in Blue Hill Bay. Those samples will be studied under the microscope by researchers at MERI, as they try to put together a picture of just how widespread this new form of ocean pollution has become.

Shoe In
My grandmother always told me you can go without other things but you must have good shoes. This is especially true in New York where we walk everywhere. The Advanced Style set knows how to accessorize from head to toe!

I completely agree! There's nothing like a great pair (and expensive) of shoes to look forward to walking in everyday. It's a very key aspect of any wardrobe, the perfect shoe.

Beacause of these ladies I have told myself no more black shoes! (unless they are amazing and the price is right).
I wish I could meet all of them. Thanks for giving us a peak into their lives.

I just got a pair of those Bass saddle shoes -second row from bottom far right.
I like that the toe is narrower than the exaggerated Steve Maddens I was considering. They're cut low towards the ankle and will go with pants or skirts. So many of the heavy leather oxfords had reviews that mentioned a break-in period. These were good straight out of the box.
I thought I was ordering wine colored toes with a blue saddle, but when they arrived it was a teal toe with a brown saddle. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

You should check out the Tutorial Forum (quite a few there), and maybe the Mapping Elements Forum as well.
Hi guys, i am new around here and saw some great makes on this site.
I am making a MUD game and was going to make a graphical map for it but i want an old parchment background for the map to sit on. The style im looking for is the same as the RuneScape background (www.runescape.com). or something similar. Another style i am interested in is the parchment on the Cartographers' Guild banner.
Anyone know of any tutorials or can provide a tutorial on how to create a similar effect? (the rolls don't matter but would be awesome, its more the middle bit im interested in)
thanks in advanced and keep up the AWESOME map making I've seen around the site

As bad weather moves across our area, people are hitting grocery stores to stock up on necessities in case the snow makes it unsafe to drive for a while.
We checked out the Piggly Wiggly on Dickinson Avenue in Greenville where they were almost out of bread Thursday afternoon. Shoppers were starting to put a dent in the milk section too Thursday afternoon. Customers we spoke with said they're taking extra precautions in case we get some snow.

Bobcat Pride!
Unbelievable. My Ohio Bobcats as official bracket busters!
Not in a million years!
Wonder if Bob Brenly, Ohio class of '76, picked the Cats over Georgetown? Or how about Ohio grads Peter King, Jay Mariotti and Thom Brennaman?
Did anyone, for that matter, pick the Cats to topple G-Town? I certainly didn't. In fact, I placed the Hoyas in the Elite Eight. But of course, I couldn't be happier for the ol' alma mater.
Ohio reaches March Madness about as often as the Cubs do. But actually winning a tournament game, dear lord, that's a story in itself. We're talkin' Cubs in the World Series kind of territory!
The shock of beating Georgetown may take hours, days or even months to set in. But following comes the wonderful state of pure bliss, that 'I can die happy' sort of feeling. A championship feeling that continues to take shape in places like New Orleans, and coming soon, Athens, Ohio.
No doubt a World Series title on the North Side would have the same appeal. But that's crazy talk, right?
I mean, what's next, the Bobcats trouncing Tennessee in Rd 2, the Saints winning the Super Bowl.
C'mon people, that would never happen!

WASHINGTON – Firstborn children are more likely to go to the moon, according to a new study by CareerBuilder.
In fact, all seven of the original Mercury astronauts were firstborn.
The study says your birth order may determine how successful you are in life.
Michael Grose, author of "Why Firstborns Rule the World and Last Borns Want to Change It," tells CNN.com "A child's position in the family impacts his personality, his behavior, his learning and ultimately, his earning power."
CareerBuilder says firstborns are more ambitious, assertive and dominant than their younger siblings and lean toward careers that require higher education such as medicine, engineering or law.
Oprah, Hilary Clinton, Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton are all firstborns.
Middle children are good negotiators and at making peace and compromises. They are more likely to identify with professional and technical staff level positions.
Famous middle children include David Letterman, Richard Nixon, Madonna and Princess Diana.
The youngest child loves the spotlight. They are charming, creative and have a good sense of humor and are not above manipulation. They are more likely to be found working in artisitc professions and outdoor jobs.
Famous youngest children include Jim Carrey, Billy Crystal, Steve Martin and Cameron Diaz.

Maine's chief executive has proposed some tough budget cuts in recent years in an effort to balance Maine's books. But despite his reputation for fiscal austerity, Gov. Paul LePage's proposed supplemental and biennial budgets do promise some targeted spending increases on mental health, foster care support, international trade, education and other areas. Jay Field has this look at the governor's spending priorities.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services, as was the case in last year's supplemental, is on the receiving end of some serious proposed cuts. But this is a story about where the administration wants to spend money. And the Department of Health and Human Services would also see targeted increases, along with the reductions.
"In child welfare we have need for additional funding to support the number of children who are coming into our care," says Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew. Mayhew says the state has seen a 25 percent increase in children in foster care.
"It's incredibly important that, as we budget, that we are aligning critical resources to the core mission of the department and key priorities," she says. "And we have requested $12.6 million over three years to account for that increase and cover those costs."
Mayhew says another area getting attention and dollars at the department is home- and community-based services for Mainers with autism and developmental disabilities.
"We need to be fulfilling the needs and services for these individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities," she says. "There are over 1,100 individuals on two different waiver waitlists."
Under its biennial budget, which covers the next two years, the LePage administration proposes spending $7.7 million in this area - enough to get 85 people off the waitlist for services. Over at the Education Department, overall funding in the proposed two-year budget is flat, "for which we're thankful," says the department's communications director David Connerty Marin, "even though we know it will be a challenge for districts."
"You know, when we have a limited amount of funding we, increasingly, are looking at, 'How can we use that money most effectively to support districts in the work they're doing?'" Connerty Marin says.
Right now, for example, Maine is working with the federal government on an accountability waiver - essentially a more rigorous system for holding schools responsible for their performance. The biennial budget proposes spending $3 million to set up an office of school accountability and support at the Education Department.
A large chunk of the money, says Connerty Marin, will be turned around and sent out to the districts to pay for training and technical support. "We have $2.5 million each year to support the work on teacher and principal evaluation systems. Those are actually required by state law and as part of the state's federal accountability waiver, which we are anticipating approval on soon."
The budget proposes spending another $4 million to help districts implement the proficiency-based diploma and just over $1 million to serve 5,000 more students in the Jobs for Maine Graduates Program.
Maine has seen exports to foreign countries grow 89 percent over the past decade. So the Maine International Trade Center would get additional funding to do more overseas recruitment trips, like the one Gov. LePage took to China last year.

Hey guys, I know it's still early days on this project, and we're a ways off from talking about anything concrete, but it seemed like as good a time as any to start an official Q&A thread!
In all honesty there isn't a lot we can talk about yet -- we were going to do press for the game at PAX East last month, but held off when we realized that our answer to almost any conceivable standard press question would be "no comment, yet" -- but I trust you guys to rise above the standard questions, and come up with some Walking Dead stuff we can discuss, so have at it.

Secret Valley is a Chinese takeout restaurant in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Boxes of Secret Valley fried rice can be found inside most burglary houses, although stores are never found in the game. It's name could have come from Hidden Valley, though highly unlikely as Hidden Valley is a salad dressing brand.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – Another fire kept crews busy Saturday, as an apartment went up in flames.
When crews arrived to the 1600 block of Hobson Road, they found heavy smoke and fire coming from the first and second floor of the building.
The fire was under control in about five minutes, but the apartment suffered heavy smoke, fire, and water damage.
The adjacent four units were not damaged.
No one was home at the time of the fire, which also remains under investigation.

Despite arriving in pouring rain which barely let up during my entire stay, the guest house (and cottage) were warm, welcoming and spotlessly clean. I had a lovely time relaxing with a coffee in the mornings, watching the birds building their nests and enjoying the view. During my stay I experienced 'load shedding' (which for those new to it as I was means the power companies performing rolling blackouts…bless them) but Impangele were well prepared and have a generator to keep the lights on and the coffee machine running.
I think the only thing more impressive than the value for money is the host's encyclopaedic knowledge of the area – I challenge you to ask a question about the area which illicits a response of 'I don't know…', it won't happen!
I can't recommend a stay at Impangele enough – the kind of service and value that I only wish existed in the UK!
"A great B&B in Swellendam"
Impangele was a great choice for us on our Garden Route trip from Cape Town to Knysna. As we were 3 friends, the cottage was the best choice for us, with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen and little lounge. Amanda and Dave are such warm, interesting hosts and they have a passion not only for their B&B but for the community they live and work in. The breakfast was really top class, with loads to choose from and it was lovely to sit on the stoep and share it with the visiting birds. We were sorry to leave the next morning and would have loved to stay longer. Loved Amanda's attention to detail in all the other rooms in the house – quirky and fun!
"Great hospitality in Swellendam"
We loved our stay at Impangele B&B. Amanda and David were fabulous hosts, and made us feel so at home and relaxed. The rooms are quirky and fun, and patio breakfasts outside under the grapevine, with sunbirds coming in to feed were lovely. The B&B is located far enough away from the main street to be secluded and quiet, but within easy reach of the good cafes and restaurants. Excellent value for money, we look forward to our return visit.
"Great hospitality – great local knowledge"
We stayed for one night whilst on a tour of the sourthern Cape but received one of the warmest welcomes of the many places we stayed during our trip. As it was a Sunday Amanda advised us that it would be better to book a restaurant. She suggested various options and then booked for us and it turned out to be the best meal of our holiday. Extensive breakfast in a lovely setting and we enjoyed their company so much it was difficult to leave. However we had to move on and followed their advice to visit Monkey Land and Birds of Eden which turned out to be a wonderful experience. All in all we couldn't have asked for any more.
Stayed January 2012, travelled as a couple
Great hospitality
Trip Advisor
Dave and Amanda welcomed me a like a long lost family member! The guesthouse is fantastic and great value for money. Great response time on email and phone… within 5 minutes of calling, I had a room. Highly recommended
Best Breakfast of the Holiday
David and Amanda greeted us like old friends and immediately invited us to join them for a drink on the front veranda. A very amusing couple with a great sense of humour and fun. The rooms are a delight and you spot something different every time you look around. There were 4 of us and we had the leopard and zebra rooms and frankly the only things missing were an actual leopard and zebra (thankfully!) Excellent advice from Amanda about eating in the town and she even booked a table for us – what a meal we had! The following morning we were given the best breakfast we'd had in South Africa – stupendous! Being a birdwatcher I couldn't believe my eyes when the staggeringly beautiful Cape Sugarbirds and Sunbirds were feeding on the nectar feeder four feet from the table – wow! If you fancy the best full English breakfast in the Cape with a sense of fun and brilliant birdlife then stay here!
African Stay at Swellendam
On our way from Plettenberg bay to Cape town and back to cold and wet Holland we stayed a night at Impangele B&B . It was a nice experience thanks to Dave and Amanda who are great hosts. We had just arrived in the aftrernoon and inside the hour we were sharing a bottle of red wine with them and watching all types of birds drinking sugar water on there beautiful terras. Our room was named Leopared and we soon realised why because everything in the room were in leopard colours/style which was amazing. They recommended Sabine for dinner and this was a excellent choice. The breakfast in the morning was good and very filling. Considering the price we payed this is a very good bargin and we would certainly go back.
Sweet Little Guest House
We only stayed 1 night but had a really nice time. Dave and Amanda were very welcoming and great hosts. Dave very kindly met us in town and treated us to a pint at his local, which was a very nice touch. It was called the Full stop cafe and the pizza was brilliant. They even named 2 of the pizzas after Dave and Amanda. The breakfast was excellent, loads of choice and lovely setting on the veranda overlooking the mountains – very idyllic.

A judge on Thursday tentatively rescheduled a preliminary hearing for James Holmes for the week of Jan. 7 after attorneys said they wouldn't be ready for one this year.
Holmes is charged with first-degree murder and other crimes in the July 20 shootings in Aurora that killed 12 people and wounded at least 58.
He had short brown hair, bushy sideburns and a mustache when he appeared Thursday in Arapahoe County District Court. He sometimes peered around the courtroom with his eyes opened wide and his eyebrows arched.
The judge also said he planned to release decisions on some motions in the case. They weren't immediately made public.

- Title
- The value of values: a study of three-generational Italian-Australian family businesses in Victoria
- Author(s)
- Hougaz, Laura A.
- Abstract
- This thesis focuses on the role that family values, business values and individual values play in supporting the continuity of family businesses across three generations. The thesis researches seven family businesses, beginning with the founding generation, which, through the process of migration to Australia in the first half of the 20th century, established family businesses which continue successfully into their third generation. The thesis concentrates on explaining why and how values, such as trust, respect, family unity, and work ethic, become so important, bridging together the first and the second generations, and then the second and third generations, thus creating the fundamental conditions for family and business succession.

Based out of Baltimore and Philadelphia, Philmore Ensemble was formed at Temple University in 2004 by Amanda Heckman, Duane Large and Julia Madden. Philadelphia musicians Cassia and Myanna Harvey later joined to help expand the possibilities of the group. Philmore
Ensemble offers a fresh and engaging look at the works of popular and lesser-known composers, and brings to life music that has fallen into obscurity. With a special focus on nineteenth-century music, Philmore Ensemble plays works from the Renaissance era through the twenty-first century. This versatile ensemble performs in various combinations with voice, flute, violin, viola, cello, mandolin, lute and guitar.
Cassia Harvey began her cello studies with Lillian Kauffman and continued with Deborah Reeder and Jeffrey Solow. She has soloed with the Kennett Symphony and the Warminster
Symphony. Cassia was first-place winner of the PADESTA, the Concerto Soloists, and the Cafferata-Jackson Competitions. Her performances have been broadcast on Philadelphias
Channel 57 and New York Public Television. An accomplished teacher, Cassia has authored over one hundred study books for the classical string instruments. Her books are sold and
played worldwide, and were exhibited at the International Cello Congress in Kobe, Japan.
Myanna Harvey has been teaching and performing professionally on the violin and viola for fifteen years. She currently has a studio of 40 students. For several years, Myanna has been the
strings director at the Upper Moreland Summer Fine Arts Program. She has written a number of arrangements and compositions for string orchestra which have been performed by the Cheltenham Youth Orchestra, the Cedarbrook Middle School Orchestra, and the
Centennial School Districts Fine Arts Festival Orchestra.
Amanda Heckman has performed and studied in the U.S., Canada and abroad, and has master of music degrees in flute performance and music history from Temple University in Philadelphia.

Sterling Magee and Adam Gussow started playing together in the streets and subways of Harlem in the 80s. Magee - originally from Mout Olive, Mississippi - was a one man band playing under the moniker Mr. Satan. They teamed up and have since become one of New York City's preeminent blues acts.
Our food of the day today: Trout Baquet.
Trout Baquet is buttery trout, topped with lump crabmeat. Fantastic, and you can get it at the Baquet's restaurant, Li'l Dizzy's Café on Esplanade.
