The Lost MC Clubhouse is a clubhouse located in Alderney City in the State of Alderney in GTA IV for use by the The Lost Brotherhood motorcycle club in Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. A Clubhouse also re-appears in Stab City, San Andreas in GTA V.
Description ( GTA IV )
Situated in a building at Kemeny Street and Berners Road in Acter, Alderney City , the clubhouse, which bears The Lost's colors and name, is intended to serve as a base of operation and a place of socialization among members of the gang.
The clubhouse exists in GTA IV, but only the exterior of the club is available. In TLAD, however, the club's interactivity is significantly expanded and is more detailed as the DLC centers around Johnny Klebitz and The Lost's activities. Accessible after the mission "Clean and Serene", the club is depicted to have four floors (the upper two have no practical use except as a path to the roof), as well as entrances at the side and at the front of the clubhouse. And a parking space primarily intended for bikes is added outside, which Johnny may use to store vehicles.
The interior of the clubhouse as depicted in TLAD is as follows:
- On the first floor is a bar and a small caged room for use as a staging area primarily used by pole dancers (but is also suggested to be used by musical bands, as evidenced by the presence of musical instruments). Smaller adjoining rooms are also accessible, one with a television and a usable computer inside and one with a mattress where players can save their progress and advance by 6 hours.
- The second floor has three activities that the player can do, Arm Wrestling, Hi-Lo card games and pool, where, after the game has been played, can be used to obtain a pool cue as a weapon by automatically picking it up or swapping it in exchange for another melee weapon. The memorial wall can also be found on this level, as well as a QUB3D arcade game.
- On the top floor, you can access the roof, which is quite large. There is also a set of fire escapes leading down to the side of the building.
In addition, Liberty City Hardcore can be heard playing throughout the interior of the clubhouse.
By the completion of "Get Lost", The Lost has suffered from extensive in-fighting and conflict from Ray Boccino to the point the clubhouse itself is trashed. Upon learning of the club's condition during the final cutscene of "Get Lost", Johnny Klebitz and other surviving members of The Lost Brotherhood agree to burn the club down and "put it out of its misery". The clubhouse, presumed to be gutted in the fire, will no longer be accessible after.
Re-entering the clubhouse in GTA IV
Although it is inaccessible after "Get Lost", people have found a glitch to allow access to the clubhouse again by exploiting the TV feature. To do so, access the roof, by ascending the fire escape, walk around until there is a pop up on screen to watch television, watch the television as you usually would and then stop watching television, this will allow you to access the clubhouse again, although you cannot leave the clubhouse unless you die or load your previous game.
Players can still watch television and play pool, but hi-lo card games and arm wrestling are not available. If the player walks around the front entrance near the bar where there's usually a bunch of people, it's empty, but Johnny still does the pushing animation and says stuff even though no one's actually there, if you playing the game on a PC there will be members at the Clubhouse, Internet access still works, as does the QUB3D arcade game on the second floor. Saving in the bed doesn't work. For players still having trouble locating the exact area, a screenshot is here. The player must basically walk straight ahead from the top of the staircase they used to get up there.
There is also a glitch for entering the clubhouse in The Ballad of Gay Tony, by spawning an Akuma bike and get half of it inside the door enough for it to glitch inside. A video here can explain how to do it. If the glitch is exploited the player can play QUB3D, but the television will be unusable. The clubhouse is also empty to the player except for one person in which the player can play pool against. Also the only photo on the memorial wall is that of Lil' Joe, the first Lost member whose photo was hung up on the wall. To get out of the clubhouse, replay a mission, die or load the game.
- If you go through the front door and through the second door and look to the right, you would see a bunch of posters showing vehicles and numbers to call. Calling these numbers would spawn that vehicle. Going to the corner that is next to the downstairs bar will also show posters for vehicles.
- The Lost MC clubhouse looks almost exactly like the real-life Hells Angels clubhouse in New York. This is ironic, because the Lost MC's rival known as the Angels of Death, are based on the Hells Angels.
- If the player manages to enter the clubhouse in TBoGT and play pool, they will play against a member of the AOD.
- Objects on tables in club can be shot and will float in the air.
- The Lost MC clubhouse, along with Niko Bellic's first safehouse are the only safehouses to be destroyed out of the series.
- Another interesting fact is that if you were to stand on the steps just outside the side door of the clubhouse while playing TLAD after Get Lost, the music of LCHC can be heard blaring from the inside like normal when the club should be empty and burned down.
- If you approach any of the Lost members and then lock-on on one of them like you would if you were fighting someone, then press one of the attack buttons without actually connecting with them, the member that you locked-on to will start attacking you, along with the other members. They will attack with either knifes, pistols or just their fists. If the player then calls Terry or Clay for backup they will also attack the Lost members.
- At the bar on the first floor of the clubhouse, for an unknown reason the cupboard behind the bar attendant and the beer taps on the front of the table are one object, so if you shoot or push the beer taps and make them move, the cupboard at the back will move accordingly and vice versa

Can somebody direct me to working links to download dlc for Heavy Rain (BCUS-98164), Please.
As well wondering why nobody has posted PSN game Pain with all its dlc. I purchased this game and all its dlc, and its extremely fun... and since all its extra characters are within the game (only activation dlc) the characters shouldn't be that hard to get.
In fact there is 1 character who wasn't released (Gary Coleman, died). I am betting his character is still within the game somewhere. Perhaps a challenge to all, lol.

Actions the US Federal Government Can Take to Demonstrate Climate Change Leadership
The United States is one of the richest and most powerful nations in the world. What can our country do for the good of the planet with this role?
One thing the U.S. federal government does every few years is engage hundreds of experts to evaluate the impacts of climate change, now and in the future. The resulting National Climate Assessment report, which was recently released, showed that America's current efforts to reduce carbon pollution are too little to avoid dangerous climate change. Last year President Obama announced new CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for cars and light trucks such as minivans and sport utility vehicles. Let's build on this historic progress to limit carbon emissions. There are several ways that the president and federal government can make a real difference in the fight against global warming.
The Clean Air Act is a powerful tool that our nation's leaders could be leveraging more fully. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged with using the Clean Air Act to issue rules to reduce greenhouse pollution. This farsighted law has reduced damaging air pollution for forty years, saving many lives. The EPA has already used it to protect public health and welfare from six extensive and harmful pollutants including: ozone, particulate matter, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and lead. Now is the time to lower atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by setting a national pollution cap for greenhouse gases.
Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA has also proposed higher emission standards on coal-fired power plants. These standards need to be fortified, finalized and implemented posthaste. Why stop with power plants? There are other places where higher greenhouse gas emission standards can be successfully applied to help save our planet such as oil refineries, cement plants, and even the airline industry.
Another way to help the environment would be for President Obama and the State Department to decline approval on the Keystone XL pipeline, which proposes moving oil down from Canada through the western United States to refineries along the Gulf Coast. There are no guarantees that the pipeline won't spring leaks. Furthermore, there is evidence that extracting oil from the sands are increasing levels of cancer-causing compounds in surrounding lakes far beyond natural levels. Denying approval would show that America is committed to transitioning away from a dependence on fossil fuels.
Of course, it's not all up to the federal government. We can all do our parts to speed the transition to a clean energy future. First we can encourage our elected officials to take the climate change actions recommended above. Second we can reduce our own carbon footprints. Consider lowering the heat or air conditioning depending on the season, using a clothesline, rake, hand mower and other manpowered devices, composting, forgoing meat at least one day a week and riding a bicycle. Lastly, we can all find simple ways to be part of the solution such as planting trees and offsetting remaining carbon emissions.
What is on the Planet's Climate Wishlist?
The Earth cannot use words to speak for itself, but if it could what would be on its climate wishlist this holiday season?
Environmental activists and climate scientists have done a good job of communicating the risks of climate change. Part of the issue is that it's a delicate balance between scaring people so thoroughly that they don't think there is anything they can do about global warming and encouraging people to make any changes that positively impact the environment, even small ones to start. Perhaps we've also underestimated the importance of personal experience.
The facts on climate change alone are not enough. We've had solid, scientific evidence for many years that global warming is man-made and happening right now. However, many people need to experience the effects for themselves in order for the light bulb to go off in their heads. Hurricane Sandy and other extreme weather events are helping people to connect the dots, but now that process has begun the question then becomes, "What next?"
We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the planet. That is what the climate needs and wants this holiday season. There are two main changes that we can undertake to fulfill the planet's climate wishlist. The first is to lower our carbon footprints. Ask yourself, do I really need to leave my lights on all day at home when I am not there? Can I combine trips in the car to drive less or take public transportation instead? What simple steps can I take to save energy and myself some money as well?
The second change is to offset the rest of your carbon footprint. There are many affordable options to make this holiday season a reality, not just for the planet, but for future generations also. Any positive steps you take are welcome and really do make a difference. Although the planet cannot use words to thank you, reducing what you can and offsetting the rest is a beautiful gift and a wonderful place to start this holiday season.
Coal Industry Mega-Player Plans for Climate Change
In a telling and ironic move, coal industry giant BHP-Billiton, is replacing one of its coal export facilities in Queensland, Australia because of its vulnerability to increasingly frequent hurricanes from global warming. BHP-Billiton is an Australian coal company that produces one-fifth of globally traded coal for steel making and is the largest mining company on Earth. The upgrade represents a major investment in planning for climate change. In fact, the company's coal operations are led by Marcus Randolph, who confirmed they are planning, "to rebuild the facility to be more durable to climate change."
Readers of this blog already know that increasingly extreme weather events are the result of climate change in addition to the fact that many businesses are planning now for climate change's effects. Why not a coal company too? The announcement makes it obvious that BHP-Billiton understands that climate change is real and the time is now to begin making changes even if the manufacture of their product contributes to the issue.
Randolph has even warned investors about the implications of remaining dependent on the non-renewable resources of fossil fuels by saying, "In a carbon constrained world where energy coal is the biggest contributor to a carbon problem, how do you think this is going to evolve over a 30- to 40-year time horizon? You'd have to look at that and say on balance, I suspect, the usage of thermal coal is going to decline. And frankly it should."
When a company that mines and exports coal starts planning for climate change it means the writing is on the wall. Businesses and individuals alike should all be working to decrease carbon footprints and offset the remaining carbon emissions. Let's give the planet a holiday present and start doing all we can this season to embrace a cleaner energy future.
Tradewinds Imports Joins Other LTD Online Stores as CarbonFree® Partner
Online shopping has exploded in recent years and has rapidly become the norm in many countries. According to a recent report by U.K.-based Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG), global business-to-consumer e-commerce sales will pass the $1.25 trillion mark by 2013, up 30% over total 2011 online retail shopping sales.
While studies have shown that online shopping may reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 35 percent compared to traditional retail shopping, many forward-thinking online retailers recognize that "green shoppers" expect even more in environmental sustainability.
New CarbonFree® Business Partner Tradewinds Imports, offering modern bathroom vanities and contemporary bathroom furnishings only through its online store, made the decision to neutralize its annual operational emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's global forestry projects. In addition, many of their vanities and bathroom furnishings are made from 100% reclaimed, recycled or sustainably forested hardwoods. Most of their vanities are hand-hewn, rather than machine-made, reducing carbon emissions during the manufacturing process.
"The global environment and the health of our forests is of the utmost importance to Tradewinds Imports, and we are immensely proud to announce our work with Carbonfund.org to help offset carbon emissions and repopulate the trees of our earth," states Todd Harmon, CEO of Tradewinds Imports. "Carbonfund.org is a fantastic organization and we are very excited to aid them in their carbon reduction efforts. Being good custodians of our forests is vital to our lives as well as our business, so we are delighted to help Carbonfund.org meet their reforestation and avoided de-forestation goals."
Carbonfund.org's online retail business partners help to set the bar higher for reducing carbon emissions related to the shopping experience, and Tradewinds Imports joins its sister online stores Bath Gems and Patio Productions as CarbonFree® Business Leaders.

Justice vs. Revenge: A Sikh Responds to the Terrorist Attacks
Revenge, a kind of 'wild justice,' shoots wildly; justice aims exactly and exactingly.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists toppled the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Days later we are still sifting through the debris, unsure of how many thousands were killed. In the face of such unprecedented destruction, probably committed in the name of God and a religion (Islam) that truly eschews such violence, the first questions that any religious man might ask are: Why would a compassionate and merciful God permit such injustice against innocent people? How should a man of God act? In our response to such a tragedy, what is revenge, and what is justice?
Investigators and the media quickly laid the responsibility at the door of Arab terrorists, primarily the followers of Osama bin Laden. In their anger many Americans, forgetting their own tradition of tolerance and the humanity common to us all, targeted Arabs and Muslims, Sikhs, and, in general, anyone who was brown-skinned or wore a turban.
In the week following the attacks, U.S. Sikhs saw their businesses and their places of worship (gurdwaras) vandalized, and ordinary Sikhs harassed on the streets. One Sikh was shot dead at his business; his assailant, at his arrest, shouted, "I am a patriot, a damn American all the way."
So what is this religion whose adherents have been mistaken for followers of Osama bin Laden's? Sikhism is a young religion that started in India only 500 years ago. From 1469, when its founder Guru Nanak was born, to 1708, ten gurus guided its development. Sikhism's core tenets include the belief that there is one God common to all creation, a God who can be discovered by service to humanity. Sikhism as a belief system seeks to be free of discrimination based on ethnicity, caste, race, or gender. The fifth largest religion in the world, it now has 22 million adherents; close to half a million Sikhs live in North America.
Sikhs have no connection to the belief or practice of Osama bin Laden. More importantly, to target any ethnic group or religion (Muslim or Sikh, Indian or Middle Eastern) for revenge is morally indefensible and reduces us to the level of the terrorist. Our common enemy is not a specific religion but intolerance, hatred and fanaticism.

Like everyone else, I spent my Saturday night huddled in the corner of my room, waiting for the onslaught of biblical fire. Coincidentally, a storm rolled over my house and every sound sent shivers through my skin. Is it happening? Is the Rapture here? What about Australia? Has anyone heard from Australia!?
But I awoke the next morning. I'm alive, I thought. I'm alive and the Rapture has already happened. I looked out my window and saw no one. Nothing was moving, not even cars on the road. Oh no, I'm the only one left. It calls upon me to fight off the hoards of roaming radioactive zombies. I scrambled to my computer, eager to find more survivors.
But there were no survivors, because there was no Rapture. No fire, no brimstone, no floods, no wailing of thousands as their souls were reclaimed by some fictional ghost in the sky nothing.
Nothing had happened.
Well, not nothing, actually: Harold Camping, the man who spent over $140,000 putting stupid billboards up all over the world, was in a really, really awkward position.
Here's a photo of Harold Camping at the center of Time Square, waiting for the Rapture to happen:
He's seriously looking at his watch, like the Rapture is a bus he has to catch downtown. What the hell was this guy thinking? Or, more importantly, what is he thinking now that the Rapture has passed?
I do not understand why said Camping when he realized the Rapture wasn't coming. I do not understand why nothing has happened.
I know, right? How could it be that your fictionalized view of the world didn't come true? Especially after you had previously made a failed prediction that Jesus Christ would return to Earth in 1994.
But what about the Family Radio website the one owned by Harold Camping the one that was claiming the world was ending on May 21, 2011? Oh, that's right, they hastily redesigned their website, causing it to look even more like the 1990s.
Okay, let's lay off Camping and his idiocy for a minute and turn to some other Rapture believers who are also in an awkward position:
Some 80 South Africans checked into a hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa, on May 20th, 2011. They had been traveling the country, spreading word about the oncoming Rapture. Since they firmly believed the Rapture was coming, they assumed they would not have to pay a bill for their stay in the hotel. So, they partied the nights away and tallied up a bill worth a couple thousand dollars.
Unfortunately, the Rapture didn't happen, and now they are stuck with a very, very expensive bill.
You know, Camping and the 80 South Africans may be wondering why the Rapture didn't happen, but I think we all know the real truth:

Hilton will be all revved up with 13,500+ in there game by game!
Let's go, Cyclone fans, and bring Hilton Magic back, and beyond where it's ever been!!!

I don't think there was even 8k but that's a difficult guess to make.
I'd be stunned if there were 8000 there. There were 4-5 empty rows directly in front of me. From the rafters, you can see a whole lot of open space. Let's get the people in!
Any preseason game that gets anything over 8,000-10,000 given the econimy and overall Cyclone mood is a good place to start from.
It's a good start. Since these tickets are already sold, let's get them used! The people have already voted in the economy, and bought those tickets. Let's get some use out of the ticket, and get Hilton rocking!

I'm not sure what the economy has to do with it. They sold over 13,000 seats. Those are paid seats, and people simply chose not to fill them.
I would guess the actual attendance was about 6000 or less. Hilton holds just over 14,000 and there was definitely less than half the seats occupied.
From the rafters, you are correct, sir.
From up in the balcony I would said about half full.
Sure the seats are sold and that is great. However, here is how the economy might play in:
1. General depressed attitudes that determine if some stay home or go out.
2. Might make some stay home to avoid spending another $10-$40 in concessions.
3. General Cyclone challenges.
Even 6-7,000 for a Sunday evening preseason game is not that bad, (not great, at all either). Does it need to be better, yes!. However, sometimes we do not recognize how good even tihs amount is for preseason and in comparison to other schools.
I may be coming across too strongly, since I'm too tired for subtlety today. I'm not intending to bash those that stayed home. I'm just simple-minded enough that I'm driven to utilize whatever I'm paying for.
I don't tend towards real depressed, though, so maybe I'm not giving enough credence towards that.
At the same time, the depressed person could maybe find someone to fill that seat. I see expensive seats unfilled game after game after game. That seems strange to me.
I agree Erik. I don't understand the empty seats. When my wife or I can't attend, we either sell or give away our tickets. If my wife can't go, I bring a friend.
There are some exceptions that I do understand, however. The couple that sits next to me were missing Sunday. They live in Omaha and drive 3 hours all the way to Ames for nearly every game the last 3 years. That is a long drive home when you have to get up for work before 6am. Anyway, they came to town Friday for the basketball game, stayed over night to attend football and basketball saturday, but returned home saturday night. 3 games in a row can be a lot for someone who has to drive 3 hours to get to the games. Still, I applaud his attendance. He shows up for weekday games that don't end until after 9:00. He stays through the end of the final buzzer, then drives home for work the next day.

Not referring to specifically depressed people, more the "cocooning effect" of staying home. It hits both spectrum's, when you have $5 seats, for some missing the game is a schedule choice.
On the more expensive,:
1. Many of those seats are corporate seats
2. I know a few who do not even go to the non-conference games. Do not agree with them, but that is what they want to do with the seats they bought.
As with all programs, there is a percentage of this and it "is what it is"
It will not likely change to much.

Awesome!We asked for this for Christmas for my 2 year old son. There are a lot of small pieces (which we had to "hide") but the quality of every piece is amazing and well built. He loves playing with his jungle guys. I would recommend this to anyone and quality to price is so worth it unlike so many toys I see these days! Can't wait until he's a little older to give him all the backpacks and cameras.

Problems with photoshop elements
Let me introduce myself. My name is Crystal and I am fairly new at using photoshop elements. I have taken a class at the scrapbooking expo so I do know how to set up my workspace. I created one layout and now my photoshop won't work. I will explain what it is doing. If anyone has any idea what to do to fix it please let me know.
I open photoshop elements and choose that I want to open a blank file. I choose that I want it to be 12x12 and 300 dpi. Then, I open my papers, embillishments and pictures and place them in my photo bin. I am ready to go. When I select on a piece of paper to drag it to my work space it puts a black box around my workspace. As soon as I let go from dragging the paper it makes the paper appear and everything else disappears. You can't layer anything. I had my friend look at it and she came to the conclusion that it has everything to do with that black box. We don't know what is causing it. Any ideas?
Thank you,

Hi, Anna here, I have PSE 6 and when I first started learning about using pse I would open up everything and although I don't remember a black box, I couldn't layer anything either. For PSE6 what I do is open up a new doc., or open up whatever paper I want for the background then I "place" everything else. The only other things I "open" are my pics in case I want to crop them. I don't have my elements open right now and I have to go to work but I think the place is in the file drop down, perhaps the edit. I'll check back when later today.
I do my pages the same way you describe, Crystal. But I don't think I've ever seen the black box problem in my PSE-5. Can you take a screen shot and post it? At the top, are the little boxes "Auto Select Layer", "Show Bounding Box", and "Show Highlight on Rollover" checked? (they are on mine) At the right, are your Layers visible? When you say you can't layer anything, does that mean you just can't click on them? I'm sure we can figure this thing out!~~Julie P.~~

Here are some of my screen shots
The first picture is what the screen looks like when I am holding the button down to drag the paper to my work space.
The second picture is what it looks like as soon as I let go of the button. Everything else disappears and it only the item that I just drug.
Thank you soo much for all of your help!

MOREHEAD CITY, NC - Police say a woman vandalized six school buses and stole another in a drunken foiled attempt to drive across the country with a friend.
Jillian Tetterton was arrested this morning after police say she showed up with the stolen Carteret County special needs bus at her friend's home. They say he called 911 not wanting anything to do with the bus trip. When arrested, Tetterton was still in the stolen bus.
The 22-year-old Tetterton is charged with DWI, larceny of a motor vehicle, B&E into a motor vehicle and damage to property. Police say the Newport woman blew a .11 after her arrest.
Carteret County Schools say six buses were broken into and vandalized early this morning. The school system says the seventh bus was stolen, after the thief found a key hidden inside. They explain the hidden key is necessary because there are multiple drivers for that bus.
The vandalism forced a two hour delay at Morehead City Primary School this morning. Fire extinguishers were set off inside the buses, and some stop arms were damaged. Five maintenance workers were called in at 3:00 a.m. and had the buses cleaned up in time for them to pickup students.
Records show the woman has multiple pending charges in Carteret County, including felony conspiracy to sell/deliver schedule I controlled substance. The Department of Correction says Tetterton was on probation on a drug paraphernalia charge.
Previous Story
Some Carteret County students will begin school on a two-hour delay Monday morning.
Morehead City Primary School students are on a two-hour delay. School officials say several school buses were vandalized overnight. Officials discovered the vandalism Monday around 3 a.m., and now police are investigating and inspecting all buses.
Staff at the school is asked to report at the normal time Monday.

- Ronald Weasley: "I don't get it, I mean... it's still only a shape in the sky..."
- Arthur Weasley: "Ron, You-Know-Who and his followers sent the Dark Mark into the air whenever they killed. The terror it inspired... you have no idea, you're too young. Just picture coming home, and finding the Dark Mark hovering over your house, and knowing what you're about to find... Everyone's worst fear... the very worst..."
- — Ron and Arthur Weasley discussing the Dark Mark.[src]
Morsmordre is the incantation of the curse used to conjure the Dark Mark, the skull-and-serpent sign used by Voldemort and his Death Eaters. It is very likely that Voldemort invented this piece of magic and taught it to his followers. Only Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort know the correct way to cast the spell, although Horace Slughorn is implied to know how to cast the spell as well[2]. Death Eaters often cast it after committing a murder, placing the Dark Mark in the sky over the location of the victim's corpse. It is against the law to cast this spell, even though, beyond its symbolic impact, there's no indication the spell causes any physical damage.
Known users
Barty Crouch Jr used this spell to set off the Dark Mark during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup using Harry Potter's wand, in order to scare the Death Eaters who were disloyal to Voldemort. At first, the house-elf Winky was blamed for the act until the truth was revealed by Crouch himself under the influence of Veritaserum.
Igor Karkaroff was killed in 1996 by Death Eaters for betraying Lord Voldemort, and the Dark Mark was cast over the shack in which his body was found.
After the Death Eater attack on Diagon Alley and the destruction of the Millennium Bridge, the Dark Mark towered over London.
It was cast over Hogwarts' Astronomy Tower by Gibbon when the Death Eaters invaded the castle in 1997, in order to lure Albus Dumbledore to the tower so that Draco Malfoy could kill him. However, it was Severus Snape who committed the murder, and Dumbledore's corpse was described to have fallen off the tower under the Mark's eerie green light like a great rag doll.
EtymologyThe incantation of this spell appears to be derived from the French mort, "death", and mordre, "to bite". This alludes to the name of Voldemort's followers, the Death Eaters. The English word murder could also contribute. In Norwegian, Morsmordere directly translated means "mothers killers".
It may also be a reference to the word "mord", which means "murder" in Icelandic, German, Norwegian, Danish Polish and Swedish, since the spell is cast after someone has been murdered, and sounds like "mass murder".
Behind the scenes
- In the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Dark Mark only appears greenish when it was cast at the Quidditch World Cup. When cast later in the same film after Voldemort's resurrection, along with its appearances in the film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it appears to be formed out of dark grey clouds.
- In the book version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Dark Mark was cast over the Quidditch World Cup by Bartemius Crouch Jr. in order to strike fear at disloyal Death Eaters during their torturing of the Roberts family. However, in the film version, the Mark was cast after the Death Eaters destroyed the campsite, as a sign of the Death Eaters' works.
- In the book version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Dark Mark was cast over the Astronomy Tower by Gibbon in order to lure Dumbledore there. However, in the film version, the Mark was non-verbally cast by Bellatrix Lestrange in celebration after Dumbledore was killed. Furthermore, in the film the Mark was dispelled by the mourning residents of Hogwarts as a sign of respect for the late headmaster.
- This is the only spell that Bartemius Crouch, Jr casts in his true form before becoming Alastor Moody by means of Polyjuice Potion

Bolero de Strings
(For String Orchestra and Latin Percussion)Thom Sharp - Latham Music Ltd
, Here's a great introduction to the Bolero style! The bass and percussion sections lay down the classic bolero groove while the rest of the orchestra takes turns playing the lazy, singing, rolling melody. Enjoy a warm, tropical feeling as the orchestra meanders through the key of D major. First violins provide interesting flourishes with both separate and slurred bowings, and a third violin part is included for viola. Parts for bongos, guiro, conga, claves and maracas are included. This is so cute for young players - even the percussion parts are kid-friendly! Highly recommended!

The ever-revolving UFC 137 door continues spinning, and the latest turn has produced a new fight on the pay-per-view main card.
UFC newcomer Clifford Starks (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has replaced injured Brad Tavares (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), and his fight with Dustin Jacoby (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been demoted from the main card to the prelims.
As a result, a prelim bout between bantamweights Jeff Curran (33-13-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Scott Jorgensen (12-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has been promoted to the main card.
UFC officials today announced the change, which comes just a few days after Tavares vs. Jacoby had been promoted to the main card. The slot opened with the recent cancellation of a headliner between welterweight titleholder Georges St-Pierre and Carlos Condit due to the champ's knee injury.
The nature of Tavares' injury wasn't disclosed.
UFC 137 takes place Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. With St-Pierre vs. Condit scratched, Nick Diaz vs. B.J. Penn was named the new headliner, and Matt Mitrione vs. Cheick Kongo was promoted to co-main-event status.
Two prelims air on Spike TV as a "UFC Prelims" special, though Starks vs. Jacoby will be part of the night's Facebook stream that kicks off the event.
Starks, an Arizona-based fighter and Rage in the Cage vet, made his pro debut two years had earned seven straight victories, four via stoppage. Most recently, he scored a unanimous-decision victory over Artenas Young in the headliner of Shark Fights 20 on Oct. 15 just six days ago. He'll have just two weeks between fights.
The latest UFC 137 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Nick Diaz vs. B.J. Penn
- Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione
- Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Roy Nelson
- Hatsu Hioki vs. George Roop
- Jeff Curran vs. Scott Jorgensen
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Donald Cerrone vs. Dennis Siver
- Tyson Griffin vs. Bart Palaszewski
- Eliot Marshall vs. Brandon Vera
- Danny Downes vs. Ramsey Nijem
- Chris Camozzi vs. Francis Carmont
- Dustin Jacoby vs. Clifford Starks

Cancer: Controlling Cancer Pain
Having cancer does not mean that you have to live with pain. Cancer and some of the treatments for it can cause pain. But most people who have cancer are able to manage their pain well.1
- Cancer pain can almost always be controlled. Only you know how you feel and how much pain you have. Tell your health care team what your pain feels like and what works and does not work.
- Don't wait for pain to get bad. Your pain medicine will work best if you use it when you first notice pain, before it becomes bad.
- If you are taking pain medicine regularly for cancer pain, have a plan (and medicines on hand) for breakthrough pain. This is sudden and intense pain that can happen while you are already taking pain medicine.
- The risk of becoming addicted to pain medicines is very small. Do not let this fear stop you from getting the pain relief you need.
- Managing your pain can mean treating other problems, too. Uncontrolled cancer pain can lead to anxiety, sleep problems, or depression.
Sometimes people try to live with their pain because they believe these common myths:
Myth #1: Pain is just part of cancer.
- Truth: Pain can almost always be controlled if you work with your doctor to create a treatment plan that is right for you.
Myth #2: It is best to wait as long as possible between doses of pain medicine.
- Truth: Pain medicine works best when you stay on top of your pain. That means not holding off treatment until the pain becomes bad. If you let the pain get bad, it may be harder to get it under control.
Myth #3: Pain medicines work the same for everyone.
- Truth: There are many kinds of pain medicines. They are given in different amounts to different people. And they are given in different ways (for example, as pills you swallow or as a patch taped to your skin). Your doctor will work with you to find a plan that helps control your pain.
Myth #4: Doctors are so busy. I should not bother my doctor with my pain problems.
- Truth: There is a reason you are having pain, and your doctor needs to know about it. Talking to your doctor about your pain and what treatment works or does not work is an important part of your treatment plan. It is also important for your well-being.
Myth #5: If I whine about pain, it means I am weak. My doctor and family won't respect me if I am not tough.
- Truth: Telling your doctor about your pain does not mean you are weak. It means you are being honest with your doctor. You are giving your doctor important information. No two people feel the same when they have cancer. Do not compare yourself to others.
Myth #6: If I take strong drugs like morphine, I will become addicted.
- Truth: Addiction to pain medicine is rare if you have not had a problem with addiction in the past and you take your medicine as directed under your doctor's care. When you no longer need these medicines, your doctor will slowly lower the amount you are taking until your body no longer needs the medicine.
Myth #7: If I take strong pain medicine before I really need to, it might not help me when my pain gets worse.
- Truth: It is much better to treat your pain when you first notice it, before it gets bad. Although you may gradually need more medicine, this is rarely a problem.
Test Your Knowledge
Opiate pain relievers are strong drugs that should be used only as a last resort or when people are near death.
This answer is incorrect.
Opiate pain relievers, such as morphine, are effective for moderate to severe cancer pain. Many people use them for months or even years for pain relief.

It is better to hold off as long as you can before you take your pain medicine.
This answer is incorrect.
Pain medicine works best when you take it as soon as you notice any pain. If you wait until the pain gets bad, it may take some time to get your pain back under control.

- Isolated or lonely.
- Stressed.
- Unable to sleep.
- Worried or angry.
- Uninterested in food.
Controlling your cancer pain can help you to:
- Be active.
- Sleep.
- Cope more effectively with cancer and its treatment.
- Enjoy family and friends.
- Eat with pleasure.

Keep track of your pain and your treatments
Your doctor needs all the information you can give about what your pain feels like. Your doctor needs to know how your treatment is working or not working. It may be easier to give your doctor information if you write it down. Use a daily diary to rate your pain. Write down what drugs you are taking and how well they are working. Write down any other methods you are using to control your pain.
Pay attention to the details of your pain so you can tell your doctor. Is it burning? Throbbing? Steady? How long does it last? Take your written information and your questions with you when you see your doctor.
Use a calendar or a pain control diary(What is a PDF document?) to keep track of your treatment. Write down how strong your pain is and when it comes and goes. Most doctors use a "0 to 10" scale to measure pain. On this scale, "0" means no pain and "10" means the worst possible pain.
It is easy to get confused about medicines when you are in pain and are looking for something to help you feel better. You may have prescriptions from more than one doctor. Keeping a written medicine record(What is a PDF document?) can help you and your doctors work together.
Stay on top of your pain
Your pain will be harder to control if you let it get worse before you take your medicine. Make the most of your pain medicines by following these rules:
- Take them on time (by the clock).
- Do not skip a dose or wait until you think you need it.
- Be prepared for breakthrough pain. You may find that taking your medicine works most of the time, but your pain flares up during extra activity or even for no clear reason. This is called breakthrough pain. Your doctor can give you a prescription for fast-acting medicines that you can take for breakthrough pain.
- Ask one of your doctors to be your team leader. It is best to have one doctor in charge of all your medicines. If more than one doctor prescribes pain medicine, make sure they talk to each other about it.
Manage the side effects
Pain medicines may cause side effects. For example, opiate pain relievers may cause drowsiness, constipation, nausea, and vomiting. Some anti-inflammatory drugs, including aspirin, may cause stomach upset or bleeding. Before you start taking a drug, ask your doctor about the possible side effects.
There are things you can do to manage some side effects.
- Home treatment for nausea or vomiting includes eating clear soups, mild foods, and liquids if you feel nauseated. Watch for and treat early signs of dehydration. Older adults can quickly become dehydrated from vomiting.
- Home treatment for constipation includes making sure that you drink enough fluids and include fruits, vegetables, and fiber in your diet each day. Do not use a laxative without first talking to your doctor.
Try complementary medicine
Complementary medicine is the term for a wide variety of health care practices that may be used along with or in place of standard medical treatment. If you use one or more of these practices, you may be able to take a lower dose of pain medicines.
Most of these therapies have not been subjected to the same degree of rigorous scientific testing for safety and effectiveness that standard medical treatments must go through before they are approved in the United States. Be sure to talk with your doctor about which therapies might be best for you.
Behavioral therapies
- Biofeedback is a method of consciously controlling a body function that is normally controlled unconsciously, such as skin temperature, muscle tension, heart rate, or blood pressure.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a type of counseling that can help you cope with pain by modifying certain thought and behavior patterns.
- Relaxation exercises, music therapy, humor therapy, and prayer may reduce tension, help you feel relaxed, and reduce stress.
- Guided imagery is a series of thoughts and suggestions that direct your imagination toward a relaxed, focused state. You can use an instructor, tapes, or scripts to guide you through this process.
- Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration that allows you to become less aware of your surroundings.
Physical therapies
- Exercise helps you keep your strength, flexibility, and mobility.
- Heat and cold treatments relieve sore muscles and decrease pain.
- Massage helps reduce tension and pain, improves circulation, and encourages relaxation.
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) uses electrical current delivered through electrodes to the skin for pain relief.
Other therapies
- Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine. It is done by inserting very thin needles into the skin at certain points on the body. Acupuncture may help relieve pain.2
- Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of aroma-producing oils (essential oils) extracted from a plant's flowers, leaves, stalks, bark, rind, or roots. These oils are mixed with another substance, such as oil, alcohol, or lotion, and then applied to the skin, sprayed in the air, or inhaled.
- Healing touch is the conscious influence of one person on another, without physical means of intervention, to benefit the recipient's physical or emotional well-being.
- Meditation is the practice of focusing your attention to alter your state of consciousness, usually directed toward feeling calm and having a clear awareness about your life.
- Yoga is a meditation program that includes exercises to help improve flexibility and breathing, decrease stress, and maintain health.

Discuss your pain and your feelings about having cancer with your doctor. He or she can address your concerns and refer you, as needed, to organizations that can offer support and information. You may also contact your local chapter of the American Cancer Society to help you find a support group. Talking with other people who have cancer and may have similar feelings can be helpful.

A Camp Lejeune Marine is accused of setting his father-in-law's home on fire, killing his own dog.
Emerald Isle police have charged Cpl. Jamison Hardy with second degree arson, felony breaking an entering and felony cruelty to animals.
The home on Plantation Drive had about $200,000 in damage after the 1:30 p.m. fire on Wednesday.
Police say while an officer was guarding the perimeter, the 22-year-old Hardy approached him and confessed to setting the fire. He told police he got into the house through a side garage door, poured gasoline throughout the home and locked the dog in a bathroom.
Hardy told investigators he lost his keys in the home and was unable to leave the area after setting the fire.
Police believe mental health issues and family problems may be a factor in why the home was torched. The father-in-law says Hardy has been separated from his daughter for two years and that he hasn't seen the Marine since then.
Hardy is in jail on a $25,000 bond and will have his first appearance this morning in Beaufort.
The Marine is assigned to Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines at Camp Lejeune.

Please rate this review: Steel Diver (3DS)
Beating a developer's ghost
Steel Commander mini game
Shooting torpedoes at a giant nautilus
Compared to Nintendos other 3DS launch titles, Nintendogs + Cats and Pilotwings Resort , Steel Diver most resembles a video game in the classic sense. Simply put, you can die in Steel Diver. You can also shoot stuff. This made it far and away the natural choice of the three for me. Theres just something about shooting guys and not dying thats so quintessential. Elemental, even. At any rate, I find it endlessly more compelling than virtual pets or a flight-simulator toy. In particular, though, shooting guys and not dying underwater in my own virtual, portable aquarium sounded totally fun. Oh, and it was, of course, in stereoscopic 3-D. Miyamoto put it rather brilliantly Its almost like having your own submarine pet in an aquarium. Unfortunately, if those games' Metascores are any indication (Nintendogs+Cats and Pilotwings: 71; Steel Diver: 58) most people would rather have a pet dog than a pet submarine.
The truth about Steel Diver is that its kind of plain. The graphics are nice, but humble. The 3-D is the kind with depth and not the kind with shit shooting out at your face. The soundtrack is totally appropriate for undersea action, meaning its fairly ambient and primarily consists of the metronomic bleeping of your submarines sonar. Its the kind of thing that just might lull a baby to sleep. In other words, if Steel Diver were in a crowd it probably wouldnt stand out very well. Itd be the kind of person with earbuds shoved in deep, probably typing madly away on his or her laptop. If by some chance you were to approach this person, you would discover that he or she is extremely knowledgeable in his or her field of study, exceptionally technically gifted, and also almost totally inept at expressing all of the brilliant ideas swimming around inside his or her head.
But oh, what ideas. It takes quite the mind to come up with, as Edge perfectly put it, the slowest side-scrolling shoot em up youll ever play. Only Nintendo. This is perhaps the strangest and most brilliant thing about Steel Diver: it looks like a shmup, it even plays like a shmup, but a shmup it is not. Its actually closer to a racing game. Yes, a racing game. And a flight simulator. And even (just a bit of) a puzzle game. I can actually halfway sympathize with the general mixed reaction of the game since, on the surface, it is so confounding. It is so genre-defying that, in the end, despite it thoroughly looking like one, Steel Diver is hardly a game about shooting guys and not dying. And yet, in order to win in Steel Diver, one must shoot guys and not die.
Heres the gist: submarine on the left, destination far to the right. Get to the destination and you beat the level. There are enemy submarines along the way, and all of them are actively trying to kill you at least, as actively as they can. The thing about submarines is that theyre kind of slow. This is where Miyamotos influence on the game becomes clear and also where the game ceases to be a shmup at all: the usual outer space and airborne settings of the shmup genre allow for the free-moving and quick reflexes that the design of those games requires. Water is, of course, way too viscous for that, but (more importantly) Miyamoto as a designer is way too preoccupied with physics for that. This may sound surprising given his cartoonish creations, but recall that this is the guy who originally included fall damage in Donkey Kong , and it was only at the insistence of his mentor Gunpei Yokoi that he removed it in his subsequent game, Mario Bros. The driving force behind virtually all of Miyamotos career is the conflict between playability versus physicality. He has an utmost interest in how player input feels and how that input translates into a games world.
A great example of this is the underwater portions of Super Mario Bros. I wrote about this once before in a brief essay on physics and momentum in Super Mario Bros., here, but the general idea is that while the underwater stages in that game feel altogether different from anything else, the controls are the exact same. Mario controls differently because hes underwater. So, naturally, to Miyamoto, a game that features control of a submarinea great big metallic cigar that plunges around the oceanshould feel like just that: something cumbersome and unwieldy.
This is achieved by making the controls practically counter-intuitive. Yet another reason for the games lukewarm reception; Steel Diver is largely inaccessible. It has to be the least pick-up and play game released by Nintendo in quite a while. Not that the controls arent the high-level of tight responsiveness that weve all come to expect from the squeaky clean virginal white companythey are. The controls are, however, contrivedly indirect. Basic video game logic dictates that when moving an on-screen character on a 2-D plane, the best way to control said characters x- and y-axial movement is, of course, with a D-pad. Steel Diver has no D-pad input. Neither does it have face button or shoulder button input. Instead it features an entirely touch screen based control system that operates by touching various sliders and buttons. There are two sliders for basic movement, each corresponding to a different axis. Theres a knob that controls the pitch angle of your submarine, and buttons for missiles and also a masker button that releases compressed air to deter enemy torpedoes. All of these apparatti are cramped onto the 3DSs bottom screen, which, in this case, is fashioned to resemble a rusty old submarine control panel.
The difficulty level is high with these simulators when we see them as video games but that difficulty is one of the greatest charms for them. - Miyamoto, Iwata Asks
So, its not easy to maneuver your sub. Youre basically at any given time multitasking between at least two different control actions with one hand. The left thumb moves and right thumb shoots foundation that weve all been raised on doesnt do any good here. Because of this staunch refusal to relinquish to user friendliness I can yet again see why Steel Diver was so alienating. However, I dont think this is a fault of the game. I think its more of an indication of how lazy todays gamers are, casual and hardcore alike. When a game doesnt immediately begin to service a players expectations is when it doesnt receive instant critical acclaim. This is why games like Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City are raking in the praise right now; as far as player input in those games goes, they require nothing and reward everything. They arent video games so much as masterfully crafted delusions of granduer, or (to be a little nicer), interactive experiences.
Steel Diver, on the other hand, is a video game. Classically so, as mentioned before. It makes certain demands of the player. It requires that a certain skill set be mastered before rewards can be expected. Most often, the reward is nothing more than satisfaction at having succeeded. Racing a developers ghost data through any of Steel Diver seven courses provides an intense rush that would not be possible without the games stick shift controls and its high learning curve. The most rewarding thing about Steel Diver, and about video games (in the classic sense) in general, is this: the basic act of playing is rewarding in and of itself. The game is a playground that allows for user creativity and expression. It is NOT a direct conduit into a users ego that functions as a virtual orgasmatron. Thats not creativity, expression, or a game; its submission.
The failure of Steel Diver points to many unsettling things: The marketing blunder of making such a niche title a launch game for a new console; the fact that such a title should be labeled niche at all; the fact that such a niche only exists because of the abysmally low standards of consumers whose idea of portable gaming is Angry Birds. The most unsettling, though, is the backlash at the game for its lack of content. In the Steel Diver edition of Iwata Asks the development team consistently remarks at their efforts to make the game concentrated, with its value being in depth rather than volume. In idiot video game reviewing terms that means they wanted the game to have a lot of replay value. Quality over quantity. Miyamoto even compares the game to a ring:
Making something concentrated requires a lot of work, like making something big and gorgeous. For example, making a single ringeven though its smallis as hard as making the kind of fancy dress with lots of ornamentation that you might wear to a ball.
Content, though, in video game terms, more often refers to a games special features rather than the game itself. Steel Diver is lacking in this regard, and I think Nintendo knew it. Any self-respecting gamer would have great fun replaying the games finely tuned courses to total mastery, but Nintendo is wise to the frothing ritalin-addled public. Inlcuded with Steel Diver is an unsatisfying strategy game titled Steel Commander. Its half chess, half Battleship, and is less fun than both. Its really not even worth mentioning. I only bring it up to illustrate a point: the modern gamer expects a complete packaged experience. Steel Diver is not an experience. Its not even a submarine simulator. Its a video game. Its attempts at padding out its content are a little embarrassing. Perhaps more cinematic approach like that of Star Fox 64 could have worked, though that probably wouldnt have suited Steel Divers slow pace and reserved personality. No, I think Steel Divers fate was sadly unavoidable; in a world where players arent too interested in mastering an instrument of expression, but would rather become the instrument themselves, a video game thats comfortable with just being, well, a video game, is part of a dying breed.

Re: Please rate this review: Steel Diver (3DS)
this review is already published online on this blog, I'm assuming it's yours?
I only mention it because of the paragraph where you mention having written another essay about some game mechanics, which makes this article feel like a part of some series of articles you've already written, rather than being a fresh submission for review, so I would edit that out. And maybe trim a few paragraphs here and there where you repeat points to get the length a little shorter. Average review length should be around 1200-1500 words.
In general, the writing is good, but the tone kindof comes off as 'the game is ok, but it's the expectations of people playing it that sucks'.. there's nothing WRONG with that, except it ends up sounding less like a review and more a condemnation of game culture, and since
people don't read reviews to be told they're what's wrong with games,
you might want to try to highlight the more positive aspects of the game experience than the negative associations of the business and the public.
That's all I've got right now. I'll give you a hand if you want to edit. Cheers,

Thanks for responding.
Yes, that is my blog. You're right about the reference to a previous essay; I'll take that out.
I see what you mean about it sounding too negative. I need to work on that.

An Springs officer spotted two men race across Platte, then run behind a shopping center at the corner of Platte and Murray just after 1:30 a.m. Friday.
A moment later, police were notified that an alarm was going off at the Shell gas station on 4270 E. Platte. Responding officers saw that the front door was broken and the store had been rummaged through.
More officers were called to the area of Platte and Murray, and soon found both suspects hiding in a fenced-in office complex on the 3900 block of E. Bijou St. Police say two large bags full of cigarettes and other tobacco products were found a short time later. All items inside were identified as items stolen from the Shell station.
Police arrested Charles Ney, 34, and Anthony Ney, 33, on charges of second-degree burglary, felony criminal mischief and felony theft.

No. I am keeping the first one. Anyway, the admin told me to not sell here because it is now against the rules

 Isn't that a joke. I guess the mods are now making an attempt to enforce their rules.
I wonder if the admin will answer this question...Do you not think Charlie Williams is trying to sell anything everytime he posts? At least BW is a regular on the board and looking for some help selling the cue.
