Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Last year's runner-up, Agnieszka
Radwanska, moved into the semifinals, while 2011 champion Petra Kvitova joined
the list of upset victims at Wimbledon.
The fourth-seeded Radwanska held off sixth-seeded Chinese star Li Na 7-6
(7-5), 4-6, 6-2, while 20th-seeded Belgian Kirsten Flipkens upended the
eighth-seeded Kvitova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 on the famed grass of Centre Court,
where the retractable roof was closed because of intermittent rain on Day 8.
Radwanska needed 2 hours, 43 minutes to stave off the 31-year-old Li,
including a grueling 65-minute opening set. The Pole ultimately converted on
an eighth match point to improve to 11-1 here over the last two years.
The 24-year-old Radwanska is now 5-6 lifetime against Li, including a 2-1
record at Wimbledon and 2-2 mark in Grand Slam action. The Polish star
improved to 2-2 in her career Wimbledon and 2-7 in her career Grand Slam
Li was this year's Australian Open runner-up to Victoria Azarenka, captured
the French Open title in 2011, and was also an Aussie Open runner-up in '11.
She's now 0-3 in her career Wimbledon quarters.
Radwanska reached her first-ever Grand Slam final here a year ago, losing to
Serena Williams in three sets. She made history by becoming the first-ever
Pole to reach a Wimbledon final and the first Polish Grand Slam finalist in 73
years (Jadwiga Jedrzejowska at the 1939 French Championships).
Radwanska's semifinal opponent on Thursday will be giant-killer Sabine
The 27-year-old Flipkens stunned the left-handed slugger Kvitova in 2 hours, 5
minutes to secure a berth in her first career Grand Slam semifinal. The crafty
Belgian tallied three service breaks, compared to two for her Czech
counterpart, mixing in an array of drop shots and slices on the way to
The 23-year-old Kvitova was seeking a trip into a third Wimbledon semi in four
years. She's now 2-2 in her career Wimbledon and 4-3 in her overall major
Flipkens had never reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal prior this week. Her
previous-best showing at Wimbledon was a third-round appearance in 2009.
Up next for Flipkens will be 15th-seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli, who took
out the last American still standing at SW19, 17th-seeded Sloane Stephens,
6-4, 7-5, on Court 1.
The 28-year-old Bartoli was the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up and was also a
quarterfinalist here in 2011. She's now 3-3 in her career Grand Slam
The 20-year-old Stephens was an Aussie Open semifinalist in January and played
in her first-ever Wimbledon quarterfinal on Tuesday.
For the second time in three majors this year, Stephens was the last American
standing in either the men's or women's singles draws.
Meanwhile, less than 24 hours after stunning the world No. 1, defending
champion and five-time overall Wimbledon titlist Williams at the All England
Club, the 23rd-seeded Lisicki stayed hot at this fortnight and reached her
second semifinal here in three years by tackling Estonian Kaia Kanepi 6-3, 6-3
in 64 minutes on Court 1. The 23-year-old German broke Kanepi four times,
while the Estonian managed only one break in the setback.
Tuesday marked the first-ever meeting between Lisicki and Kanepi, who recently
returned to action after being sidelined for several months because of a
heel injury.
Kanepi is now 0-5 in her career Grand Slam quarterfinals, including 0-2 at
The big-serving Lisicki has reached at least the quarterfinals in her last
four trips to Wimbledon.
The Florida resident Lisicki will meet Radwanska for a third time, as the two
women split their first two career meetings, both on hardcourts, while Bartoli
and Flipkens will meet for the first time on Thursday.
For the first time in 15 years, all four women's semifinalists in a Grand Slam
event are seeking their first-ever major singles title.
In women's doubles on Day 8, the top-seeded tandem of Sara Errani and Roberta
Vinci lost to a 16th-seeded duo of German Julia Goerges and Czech Barbora
Zahlavova Strycova 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the third round. The Italians Errani and
Vinci are the reigning Aussie and U.S. Open champs.

That technology, supplied by a subsidiary of the French IT firm Bull, used a technique called deep packet inspection (DPI) to capture e-mails, chat messages, and Web visits of Libyan citizens.The fact that the Qaddafi regime was using deep packet inspection technology wasn't surprising. Many governments have invested heavily in packet inspection and related technologies, which allow them to build a picture of what passes through their networks and what comes in from beyond their borders. The tools secure networks from attack-and help keep tabs on citizens.Narus, a subsidiary of Boeing, supplies "cyber analytics" to a customer base largely made up of government agencies and network carriers. Neil Harrington, the company's director of product management for cyber analytics, said that his company's "enterprise" customers-agencies of the US government and large telecommunications companies-are "more interested in what's going on inside their networks" for security reasons. But some of Narus' other customers, like Middle Eastern governments that own their nations' connections to the global Internet or control the companies that provide them, "are more interested in what people are doing on Facebook and Twitter."Surveillance perfected? Not quite, because DPI imposes its own costs. While deep packet inspection systems can be set to watch for specific patterns or triggers within network traffic, each specific condition they watch for requires more computing power-and generates far more data. So much data can be collected that the DPI systems may not be able to process it all in real time, and pulling off mass surveillance has often required nation-state budgets.Not anymore. Thanks in part to tech developed to power giant Web search engines like Google's -- analytics and storage systems that generally get stuck with the label "big data" -- "big surveillance" is now within reach even of organisations like the Olympics.Network security camera The tech is already helping organisations fight the ever-rising threat of hacker attacks and malware. The organisers of the London Olympic games, in an effort to prevent hackers and terrorists from using the games' information technology for their own ends, undertook one of the most sweeping cyber-surveillance efforts ever conducted privately. In addition to the thousands of surveillance cameras that cover London, there was a massive computer security effort in the Games' Security Operation Centers, with systems monitoring everything from network infrastructure down to point-of-sale systems and electronic door locks.The logs from those systems generated petabytes of data before the torch was extinguished. They were processed in real-time by a security information and event management (SIEM) system using "big data" analytics to look for patterns that might indicate a threat-and triggering alarms swiftly when such a threat was found.The combination of the sophisticated analytics and massive data storage in big data systems with DPI network security technology has created what Dr. Elan Amir, CEO of Bivio Networks, calls "a security camera for your network.""There's no question that within the next three to five years, not having a copy of your network data will be as strange as not having a firewall," Amir told me.The capability used at London's Games doesn't have a billion-dollar price tag. Nearly any organisation on a budget can assemble something similar, in some cases with hardware already on hand and a free initial software download. And the potential applications go far beyond benign network security. With the ability to store data over long periods, companies and governments with smaller budgets could not only track what's going on in social media, but reconstruct the communications between people over a period of months or even years, all with a single query."The danger here," Electronic Frontier Foundation Technology Projects Director Peter Eckersley told Ars, "is that these technologies, which were initially developed for the purpose of finding malware, will end up being repurposed as commercial surveillance technology. You start out checking for malware, but you end up tracking people."Unchecked, Eckersley said, companies or rogue employees of those companies will do just that. And they could retain data indefinitely, creating a whole new level of privacy risk.How deep packet inspection works As we send e-mails, search the Web, and post messages and comments to blogs, we leave a digital trail. At each point where Internet communications are received and routed toward their ultimate destination, and at each server they touch, security and systems operations tools give every transactional conversation anything from a passing frisk to the equivalent of a full strip search. It all depends on the tools used and how they're set up.One of the key technologies that drives these tools is deep packet inspection. A capability rather than a tool itself, DPI is built into firewalls and other network devices. Deep packet inspection and packet capture technologies revolutionised network surveillance over the last decade by making it possible to grab information from network traffic in real time. DPI makes it possible for companies to put tight limits on what their employees (and, in some cases, customers) can do from within their networks. The technology can also log network traffic that matches rules set up on network security hardware -- rules based on the network addresses that the traffic is going to, the type of traffic itself, or even keywords and patterns within its contents."Almost everything interesting happening in networking, especially with a slant toward cyber security, has some DPI embedded in it, even if people aren't calling it that," said Bivio's Amir. "It's a technology and a discipline that captures all of the processing and network activity that's getting done on network traffic outside of the standard networking elements of packets-the addressing and routing fields. What gets people riled up a bit is the 'inspection' part, because somehow inspection has negative connotations."To understand how DPI works, you first have to understand how data travels across networks and the Internet. Regardless of whether they're wired or wireless, Internet-connected networks generally use Internet Protocol (IP) to handle routing data between the computers and devices attached to them. IP sends data in chunks called packets-blocks of data proceeded by handling and addressing information that lets routers and other devices on the network know where the data came from and where it's going. That addressing information is often referred to in the networking world as Layer 3 data, a reference to its definition within the Open Systems Interconnection network model.The OSI Layers of an internet data packet OSI LAYER NAME DESCRIPTION Layer 1 Physical The format for the transmission of data across the networking medium, defining how data gets passed across it. WiFi (802.11) is a physical layer standard. Layer 2 Data link Within a network segment, handles the physical addressing -- the media access control (MAC) addressing of devices on the network and their communication. Ethernet and Point-to-Point Protocol are data link protocols. Layer 3 Network Handles the logical addressing and routing of data, based on soft-defined addresses. Internet Protocol headers are the Layer 3 data in a packet. Layer 4 Transport Protocol information, such as in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol, provides for error-checking and recovery and flow control of data. Layer 5 Session Handles communications between applications, such as remote procedure calls, inter-process communications like "named pipes," and TCP secure sockets (SOCKS). Layer 6 Presentation or Syntax Data formatting, serialisation, compression and encryption services, like the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) format. Layer 7 Application The data sent for specific applications in formats such as HTTP for the request and delivery of Web content, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), IMAP and SMTP mail connections, and other application-specific formats. Internet routers generally just look at Layer 3 data to determine which network path a packet gets relayed down to. Network firewalls look a little deeper into the data when making a decision about whether to let packets pass onto the networks they protect. Packet-filtering firewalls typically look at Layer 3 and Layer 4, checking what transport protocol (such as TCP or UDP) and which Internet Protocol port number they use (this is commonly associated with a specific application; port 80, for example, is usually associated with Web services). Application-layer firewalls, which emerged in the 1990s, look still deeper into network traffic. These set rules for network traffic based on the specific type of application the data within the packet was for. Application firewalls were the first real "deep packet inspection" devices, checking the application protocols within the packets themselves, as well as searching for patterns or keywords in the data they contain.

Police believe an altercation earlier at a hotel prompted the car-to-car attack in the heart of the Strip at Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, the site of several major hotel-casinos, including Bellagio, Caesars Palace and Bally's.
"This doesn't happen where we come from, not on this scale," said Mark Thompson, who was visiting from Manchester, England, with his wife. "We get stabbings, and gang violence, but this is like something out of a movie. Like 'Die Hard' or something."
Police said they were contacting authorities in three neighboring states about the Range Rover Sport with tinted windows and paper dealer ads in place of license plates that fled the scene about 4:30 a.m.
In Southern California, the California Highway Patrol alerted officers in at least three counties to be on the lookout for the Range Rover with custom wheels, authorities said.
Police said the Maserati hit the taxi cab, which went up in flames, and the driver and passenger were killed. The male driver of the Maserati also died, and his passenger was shot.
Tourists staying in high-rise hotels around the scene found police tape blocking access to the area around the intersection.
Jeff Martin, 33, of Columbus, Ohio, said he was unable to cross the Strip several hours after the incident.
"When you're out at 4 a.m. nothing good's going to happen," he said.
Las Vegas Police Sgt. John Sheahan said the attack was not a rolling gun battle as previously described. The cars were stopped at a light when at least one person in the Range Rover opened fire. Several people were inside the vehicle.
Six other vehicles were involved in the crash that followed, including the taxi and Maserati. The taxi was affiliated with Desert Cab company, according to general manager Sandy Shaver. He declined to comment further.
The taxi might have been propane-powered.
The incident marked the latest violence on the Strip since the beginning of the year. Two people were critically wounded in a shooting at a parking garage Feb. 6, and a tourist was stabbed Saturday in an elevator at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay.
A spokesman for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Jeremy Handel, issued a statement reassuring people that much is being done to keep them safe.
"Recent incidents, while unfortunate, were isolated events," he said. "Las Vegas is among the safest travel destinations in the world and utilizes the most advanced technology and training to maintain a secure environment."
Las Vegas Police Officer Jose Hernandez acknowledged that the Strip has seen several violent incidents in recent weeks but said police have made arrests or identified suspects in each case.
"People don't have to worry," he said. "This is an unusual occurrence, as tragic as it may be."
Sheahan said police have video from traffic cameras at the intersection where the shooting occurred on Thursday.
"We have a lot of pieces to put together to establish a timeline as to why this confrontation occurred," Sheahan said.
Associated Press writers Michelle Rindels and Hannah Dreier contributed to this report.

Free Proxy Server
Nowadays, online privacy becomes an object of attack by different kinds of malicious software on the Internet. There are lots of applications that claim to protect it. How actually do they do it? Probably the most widespread way of doing it is by using proxy servers.
What is a free proxy server?
A free proxy server (briefly proxy) is a server ( a computer or an application), which works as an mediator for each single request by clients looking for data from another server. Actually, users connect to the proxy server first and request some information like files, connections, web pages or any other resource available from a different server. Then the proxy server evaluates the request as a way to simplify and control its intricacy.
Why do users use proxy servers?
There are several different purposes of using a proxy server. The very first and main reason is for keeping yourselves anonymous while you are online, as a security measurement. The next one is to shorten the time for accessing resources. Proxy servers can be used in order to scan transmitted data for malicious software before it delivers to you. Users use them for providing organization employee Internet usage reporting, for preventing downloading the same data various times, for evading different kinds of restrictions, etc.
Free Proxy server types
Basically, there are three main types of proxy: free tunneling proxy (gateway), forward proxy and reverse proxy. A tunnel proxy is a server that passes requests and responses unchanged. When it comes to a forward proxy, client server name the target servers to connect to. Actually, there is a variation of this proxy, it is called open proxy. It is a forwarding proxy server, which enables users to conceal their real IP address and browse the web anonymously. The last type, reverse free proxies, are proxy servers that appear to users to be just an average server.
What is a free web proxy?
Web proxy servers are a quick and easy method of changing IP addresses, while users surf the Internet. They are completely portable and look like just as a search engine. Some web proxies provide clients with SSL security. Thus they encrypt communication between the user and the proxy.

If you're trying to look totally awesome then the first thing you need to do is fix your hair up in a retro style that will bring you back to the 80's. There are tons of 80's wigs will keep you looking fresh. The 80's were a time full of vibrant colors, punk rockers, and pop music. Now you can bring it all back to modern times by recreating the style of the popular decade. The 80's were a time when people really went wild with their fashion sense, and their hairstyles certainly followed suit.
Girl's Night Out Wig Black Adult
Purple Clip In Hair Extensions
Men's hair in the 80's was all over the place. Some of the styles were found in mullets. Work in the front, party in the back. Other classic hairstyles of the era for men featured long and messy hair that was thick and great for headbanging. These 80's wigs are just what you would have seen back then. Women had different hairstyles in the 80's too, equally as wild as the men. Most girls had wild and messy hair as well that was typically very large or teased a little. A lot of the time, women would dye their hair in vibrant neon colors to match the neon clothing that was popular back then. Like, oh my god! You won't look like a true 80's woman without one of these.

Alteil for Dummies
I've seen a few beginners' guides on the forums, but most of them seem excessively long and the most important points get lost in the mess. I also strongly believe that the one thing that's really holding this game back from really expanding is that new players just don't understand the game and don't know how to get better. This guide is an attempt to highlight the most important aspects of the game in a short concise manner. It's basically going to focus on playing with rush type files composed mainly of lvl 2-3 units.
Soul Skills 101
Soul skills can make or break a file. For rush type files, you want to think of soul skills as grenades. They need to be both accessible and powerful. This is why it's generally always advisable to go with skills that do damage, and that are 1LP as your first three SS cards. The 1LP skills are usually the most powerful, and you can activate them by letting only one unit die, meaning they are very accessible.
When playing a match, you will want to think about how fast to trigger your SS, and also, how you will go about activating them. Most files use level 1 units such as salamander, sylph, shade, and wisp to trigger their SS, while keeping their key units on the field. This allows you to barrage your opponent with damage, while also giving you time, and SP, to set up your own field. This is why a "shade -> lvl 3 -> shade -> lvl 3" open is so effective for Lawtia. As for speed, you will need to adjust to the play of your opponent. Verse aggressive files, it is advisable to trigger your SS very quickly, whereas verse slower files you will want to trigger them at a slower pace.
Importance of SP
This game is all about SP. Every move and decision you make, you will need to think about within the context of SP. Along those lines, you can think of units as investments, since you spend 3SP to play a level 3 unit, and then get that 3SP back when they die. On the other hand, for grims, you spend SP that you never get back.
This is why it is very important to pump out units early, especially free revivers. For example, if you play combat monk and alraune as your first two units, and they die quickly, you are forced to spend 2SP to revive them. That means you are a net 2SP behind your opponent, which is nearly impossible to overcome and you have already lost. However, if you open with free revivers such as Kurina and man eating tiger, you don't spend SP to revive them, meaning you don't fall behind in SP.
Another related mistake new players often make is using grims like fire arrow, flesh recycle, or frozen lance relatively early in the game. When you use something like fire arrow, you use up 3 total SP, leaving you off 3SP less than your opponent. The consequence of this is that in the next few turns, your opponent will be using that 3SP edge to pour out units at a much higher rate than you.
This game demands that you be very efficient in everything you do both in game and in file construction. On the playing side, it is very important to pump out units as fast as you can. So if you're playing a rush file, you should not have 4 loose SP sitting around unused turn 5. In terms of speed, if you're playing some kind of Refess rush, it is absolutely essential that you get guardian down on turn 3. Delaying the focus of your file will only give your opponent more time to establish his field.
In regards to file construction, you want to strive for some optimal group of cards where you don't "over pack" or "under pack" SP. So what the heck does this mean? Well, if you use the Gowen starter, and decide to add three level 5 grims and a few level 7 units, that is over-packing SP. There is no way you will ever find enough SP to play the level 7 unit and the three level 5 grims. It's just not efficient since you will never use all your cards. On the flip side, if you find that you always get to the end of your match and have tons of SP sitting around unused, you are under packing. This is also not efficient since you are not optimizing SP. Ideally, you want to strive for a file that makes optimal use of SP by the end of the majority of your matches.
Unit Order
The fourth thing I want to address is unit order. This refers to the order that you play your units. In many situations it makes the difference between a win and a loss. Generally speaking, you want to play your tanks and free revivers early, and group support units later. You use tanks to avoid spending SP on revives early. Support units, such as Folrart Knight Captain, become stronger the more units they buff. Usually you want to play these support units after you have a few units set up already. The take home point here though is to get you thinking about unit order.
On a small side note, people don't seem to think of skipping as a legitimate play. This results in many beginners repeatedly playing level two units. Just remember, sometimes it is better to skip a turn, and pour out two level 3 units the following two turns.
The final topic is flexibility. As you might expect, it means that you have to be flexible in how you play. You can't play verse falkow the same way you play verse lawtia and you can't play verse lycans the same way you play verse dragons. Some matches you will have to play very unorthodox to win.

WASHINGTON (AP/Getty Images) - President Barack Obama has pardoned two turkeys in an annual Thanksgiving rite.
Obama said he wanted to offer a second chance to Cobbler, the newly designated national turkey, and his alternate, Gobbler.
Both are 19-week-old, 40-pound turkeys from Virginia. Their names were selected from submissions by elementary students in Rockingham County, Va., where the birds were raised.
For the first time this year, the public had a say in which bird would become the national Thanksgiving turkey. They were asked to cast their votes on the White House Facebook page.
Obama daughters Sasha and Malia as well as National Turkey Federation Chairman Steve Willardsen were present at the Rose Garden event. The pardoned turkeys will spend the rest of their lives at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens in Virginia.
Obama said the American people have spoken "and these birds are moving forward" - a reference to his campaign slogan, "Forward."
The tradition of pardoning a Thanksgiving turkey at the White House started with President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

McCroskey says she never met with officials to discuss errors in her office; records, interviews suggest otherwise
Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey said she's never met with other local leaders to discuss the errors originating in her office that many officials are now calling a systemic problem that has led to wrongful arrests, wrongfully revoked driver's licenses, and unwarranted convictions.
Records and interviews with Knox County officials suggest otherwise.
During a more than hour-long interview last week with WBIR Channel 10 regarding problems inside her office, reporters directly asked her whether other officials had addresses the matter or met with her.
"No, no meeting," she said. "I would gladly meet with the other offices. Gladly."
A WBIR reporter then asked: "So nobody has brought a history of issues to your attention?"
McCroskey responded: "No. No."
However, a series of emails WBIR obtained under the state's open records act, and interviews with local leaders say that top ranking officials have met a number of times with McCroskey and members of her staff.
The emails exchanged between from the district attorney general's office, the criminal clerk's office, the judges and the law director's office touch on what some call inadequate training and outdated technology inside her office.
At one point in late October 2012, McCroskey sought help from the county's Information Technology Department to see what could be done. A month later the sessions court judges sent a memo to McCroskey, telling her to make sure that her bookkeeping program is synchronized with the county's recordkeeping software that the judges, prosecutors and the sheriff's office rely on.
In addition, Knox County General Sessions Court Judge Andrew Jackson VI said that the other sessions court judges, members of the Sheriff's Office, the IT department, and the District Attorney General's Office held meetings that included McCroskey during the past year.
He said officials focused mostly on errors in her office that have caused problems with traffic-related offenses "to find solutions to make sure these problems don't reoccur."
"Over the past seven to eight months there have been a number of meetings involving those people," he said.
McCroskey has come under fire since a WBIR Channel 10 investigation on Friday that discovered dozens of instances of errors that stemmed from the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office and led to residents wrongly taken into custody or kept in jail for days, sometimes weeks, past their scheduled release dates.
Another Channel 10 report also noted numerous other errors originating from her office connected to traffic-related citations. Officials say workers inside the office are entering wrong data into the records management system, losing crucial paperwork, and providing defendants with bad information.
Top Knox County leaders, including the Mayor, county commissioners, and the sheriff's office, now want answers, and have begun questioning what McCroskey has told them.
They also say she has refused to accept blame for the problems.
McCroskey, who did not return a call seeking comment for this article, has suggested that the problems are few and far between.

The Primo is a four door car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, the Primo is one of the better sedans available in the game, although its design is less unremarkable and thus appears more generic in traffic. It resembles a Fourth Generation Toyota Carina, Third Generation Toyota Cressida, 1987-1990 Toyota Camry or Honda Accord 1985 sedan to some extent. Ideas from the First Generation Proton Saga (Saloon) were also believed to have contributed to the Primo in GTA San Andreas, though not really obviously. It somewhat has the style of a 1989-1991 Chrysler LeBaron in side quarter panel not very noticeable though. It may also be based off the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.
The Primo is one of the most dependable vehicles in the game, possessing good handling as a result of its lighter weight, fair acceleration and a decent top speed. For that, it is an ideal choice for doing drive-bys against enemy gangs. While relatively acceptable under normal driving conditions, the Primo's axle width may make the car less stable in bumpy conditions. It sports a 3.0 Liter V6 with a horsepower range of 260 HP or a 2.5 Liter 4 cylinder with 200 HP. It has a smaller drivetrain it is RWD for the 3.0 Liter and FWD for the 2.5 Liter. It is capable of a top speed of 130 mph for V6 versions and 126 mph for 4 cylinder versions.
The Primo can be found mostly anywhere in the State of San Andreas.
- Colors (exterior)
- Vents (one variety)
- Exhausts (four varieties)
- Nitro (all)
- Spoilers (three varieties)
- Wheels (ten varieties)
- Bass Boost
- Hydraulics
It comes with a stock ABS system. On head-on collisions, it is usually worst when damaging the front axle as compared to a rear collision that is less likely to damage the rear axle. Side axle collisions are safest of all even though it may cause more damage. The vehicle is not likely to tip over when it is closer to the ground and when medium loaded at about 4,200 lbs. The car is also unlikely to catch fire or explode in cases of accidents. Despite causing a bit more damages when shooting on it as compared to melee weapons, it is still hard for the car to be destroyed. It takes approximately 5 minutes to set the vehicle on fire.
In GTA IV, the Albany Primo retains its four-door sedan design, but it looks like a sedan version of the 1987-1993 Cadillac Allante coupe in real life, especially in the head and tail lights. It is also influenced by the 1989-94 Plymouth Acclaim and Chrysler Saratoga. or a first generation Fiat Croma. and Lancia Thema.
PerformanceIn GTA IV, the Primo is most likely powered by a 4.6L V8 (in real life it would be the Northstar LD8). This potent powerplant gives the Primo an immense top speed of 187 mph(300km/h), on par with full-on sports cars. The Primo's underpinning is it's body roll and small, weak brakes. The Primo's acceleration and handling are also poor and unsporty and it suffers from a problem similar to the Emperor in which the rear swings frenziedly on sharp turns - but even worse, the car feels heavily planted on the ground, therefore, if the turning is done smoothly, the Primo will do a very wide turn, the only possible workarounds are to start drifting yards before where the desired turn is or to slow down. This car is thus very unfavorable for driving at high speeds, leading this vehicle to be better suited towards missions where a getaway vehicle is not required, friend "hangouts" and city driving.
Due to its sturdy build, the Primo is able to take a few direct frontal hits without stalling or setting alight.
There are two different styles of Primo. There is a standard middle-of-the-road sedan, and there is also one with a special "Supercharged V8" badge on its decklid. The supercharged Primo is lowered with added ground effects and a spoiler. It always comes in maroon, and is the vehicle of choice for members of the Spanish Lords. Despite the "Supercharged V8" badge, it has the same performance as the regular Primo, and sounds just like the regular Primo, which leads us to believe that the effects are purely cosmetic. The Supercharged V8 Primo can usually be found driven in and around Spanish Lords territory, including Cerveza Heights, South Bohan, East Holland and southern Alderney City. If this variant really had improved performance, the engine would most likely be based on the real life Northstar Supercharged LC3.
While not an actual variant, standard black Primos may also be found with the same golden trims as those on the Supercharged V8 variant, the only color scheme for standard Primos to incorporate golden trims.
GTA San Andreas
- The Primo can be seen almost anywhere in the State of San Andreas.
- Can be seen anywhere in Alderney.
- Can be seen in BOABO, Broker.
- Can be seen in South Bohan and Fortside.
- In GTA IV, the "supercharged" Primo shares its trunk spoiler with the DF8-90 V8 Turbo.
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Primo fetching $1,800.
- The Primo was originally the Ballas gang car.
- The Primo plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Bounce FM or K Rose in GTA San Andreas.
- Electro-Choc or Radio Broker in GTA IV.
- "Primo" either means raw, as in materials, or cousin in Spanish and Portuguese.
- It also means in Italian "first" or "prime."
- Supercharged V8 Primo's can be seen in the Drug Wars in The Ballad Of Gay Tony with special paintjobs, not seen anywhere else.
- Another Rockstar Games game Midnight Club 2 has a character named Primo.

Nine players of the relegated Police Dodoma team have to dig deep into their pockets to pay one million shillings each after being fund guilty of assaulting referee during their premiership match against Azam FC at the Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma a fortnight ago.
The players who have violated premier league regulation number 25(g) (iii) are Noël Msekwa, Frank Sindato, Abdallah Matila, Bantu Admin, Salmin Kisi, Madope Mwingira, Sihaba Mkude, Kaliyasa Mashaka and Ibrahim Massawe.
The fine stands even if the players happen to win transfer into other teams whether in the tip flight berth or elsewhere.
Their team has been fined half million shillings for the violence committed by their fans soon after the match against Azam which they lost by a lone goal.
The team has also to pay additional half million shillings for repotting late during their premiership match against hosts Yanga played at the national Stadium in Dar es Salaam last Sunday.
The premier league committee that met mid this week also came with the decision to fine Moro United a half million shillings for their players for dressing room boycott during a match against Simba played at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam that ended in loss of three goals for the team.
In another decision by the committee Villa Squad's objection against African Lyon team in connection with making use of illegal players has been duped.
Villa claimed Lyon duo of Mohamed Samata and Benedict Jacob featured for the team while their contracts had expired.
However, the committee said the players can feature for the Lyon team as log as they have valid licence. Of late the premier league committee has been busy in resolving disputes through appeals that has virtually benefited coffers of the Tanzania Football Federation's coffers through fines.

These little guys are a healthy take on an Indian street food. Normally samosas are a pastry that is filled with ground meat, vegetables, or a combination of both. Usually they are fried and then served with chutney for dipping. I found a healthier version of this that uses wonton wrappers in place of the dough. Then I bake them instead of frying them.
I bought the cookbook these came from shortly after I got married, over 11 years ago. I made them quite often at first, and then forgot about them until recently. I am reminded why we always had them in the freezer before, and they will become a staple again. They are a little work to make, mainly just tedious. You have to fill the wonton wrappers, and then seal them. Considering each wonton wrapper can only hold about a tablespoon of filling, it can take awhile. But, they freezer perfectly. So you can do all the work over the weekend, and then have these in the freezer for whenever you need them.
We like to have them as dinner with a salad or other sides. But they would make a great party appetizer. My son and husband like to dip these in ranch. From the searching I did, a tomato chutney was a popular dip of choice. To freeze them, I just fill them, put on a baking sheet, and place in the freezer. Once they are frozen, I place them in a freezer safe resealable bag. Then when I want to make them, I take them about about 15 minutes prior to baking. You could also fry instead of baking these, if you wanted.

Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump with Carryall
- Product Review (submitted on October 13, 2011):
I was given this pump second hand and I LOVE IT!
At it's price it would have been to big of an investment for our family at the time... It works just as good and as fast as manual pumps! It is insanely light wright and powerful! When you switch it to one brest you have to plug the other side and the suction does NOT drop a significant amount. To break suction you do have to slip your fingertip in or you might hurt your self... I suggest that for any pump though...
Point is I love it and now I can actually stock up on milk for a baby sitter from time to time...

The parliament yesterday endorsed the 13.5trn/- government budget for the 2011/2012 financial year, reducing levies and charges on petroleum products to curb inflation and control tax evasion and oil adulteration.
Winding up the budget debate, Finance Minister Mustafa Mkulo said the government has decided to reduce levies and charges on diesel and petrol. He said that excise duty on the mentioned products will be reduced from 314/- to 256/-. The date for commencement of the new charges will be announced later.
Mkulo also directed the Energy and Water Regulatory Authority (EWURA) to look into possibilities of reducing levies on kerosene. He said the government will also review fuel charges levied by the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) and TIPER.
He said the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation will have to ensure availability of cheap natural gas for industrial use, so as to increase production hence, reduce commodity prices.
On allowances, Mkulo said the total amount of allowances paid to public servants per annum is 352.74bn/- and that sitting allowances amounted to 25.68bn/- whereby members of parliament get 4.92bn/- annually.
He said it was not possible to remove the payments because there were some people who are paid allowance in accordance with the law passed by the parliament.
He said that it is impossible to remove allowance payments for doctors, retired army officers and judges. He said there is also a certain amount of allowances used to purchase official attires for judges and other government officials.
Explaining Mkulo, said that if the MPs want to remove allowance payments, they are going to save only 25.68bn/-. He said the number of seminars will also be reduced and that any government institution intending to conduct a seminar will be required to seek for a permission from the office of the Prime Minister.

Winston-Salem, NC - Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes, and No. 2 Florida State tied a school record with six interceptions in a 59-3 rout of Wake Forest on Saturday that clinched an ACC championship game berth.
Nate Andrews took an interception 56 yards for a touchdown and Jalen Ramsey returned a fumble 23 yards for a score on consecutive plays.
The Seminoles (9-0, 7-0) claimed the inside track to a BCS title game berth with No. 2 Oregon's loss Thursday. They kept firm grasp of it by forcing seven turnovers and breaking the stadium record of 56 points they set in 1994.
Florida State outgained Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5) 296-166 and turned those turnovers into five TDs and a field goal.
Winston was 17 of 28 for 159 yards in two-plus quarters with an 18-yard TD to Kelvin Benjamin and a 2-yarder to Chad Abram that made it 42-0 at halftime.

While we are excited about featuring one of Luis Alberto Urrea's works of fiction as the 2012 Reading Together title, you might be interested to know he has also written poetry and nonfiction. Here is a list of all of his published works, including the upcoming release, Queen of America (Nov. 2011).
It's clear from even a quick glance at these titles that Urrea's work is strongly influenced by his own life experiences living and working near the U. S./Mexico border. I've recently enjoyed reading some of these earlier works. I urge you to explore as much of Urrea's body of work as you can. You'll find yourself with an even greater appreciation for the roots which inspired the writing of our Reading Together selection.

LET'S GET THIS OUT of the WAY RIGHT OFF the TOP: REGARDLESS of the REVIEWS, the BASIC NOTION of THIS FILM -- FROM the HIDEOUS "PUN" of IT'S TITLE to the IDEA of DUMBING DOWN a SHAKEPEARE CLASSIC, to the WHOLE CONCEPT of BUILDING an ENTIRE FILM AROUND ANIMATED GARDEN GNOMES (THE TRAILER TRASH EQUIVALENT of OUTDOOR SCULPTURE) -- ARE ALL INHERENTLY REPELLENT.
AND the EXCESSIVE/INTRUSIVE MARKETING of THIS FILM (with TRAILERS AHEAD of EVERY MOVIE SINCE NEW YEAR's, TV SPOTS EVERY 27 SECONDS on BASIC CABLE and POSTER, BILLBOARDS and BUS BENCH ADS EVERYWHERE) DOESN'T HELP EITHER. FROM the CONTENT of THOSE PROMOTIONS, GNOMEO & JULIET LOOKS ALARMINGLY LIKE ONE of the MOST CHARMLESS ANIMATED MOVIES of ALL TIME, MAX FLEISCHER's MISBEGOTTEN 1939 CARTOON VERSION of GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (IMDb LINK).
IF WE'RE WRONG ABOUT the MOVIE ITSELF...SO BE IT.
BUT THE CONCEPT, TITLE and AGGRESSIVE MARKETING ARE CERTAINLY ALL RAZZIE® -WORTHY...

Dior's Fall/Winter show reminded us of how closely art and fashion can be intertwined. Creative director Raf Simons honored Dior's love of art and simultaneously paid homage to Andy Warhol, whose works he has always admired, by embroidering the icon's early paintings into his designs. "I started to think about things myself and Mr. Dior had in common, particularly an interest in art," says Simons. "Before forming his fashion house, Christian Dior had a gallery, where he was representing Giacometti and Dalí early on in their careers, when they were young. It seems he exhibited what is perhaps Dalí's most famous painting, The Persistence Of Memory."
Coincidental or not, Simons's connection to these past greats is perhaps most clearly expressed in five designs he nicknamed the "Memory Dresses." Much like a child's prized treasures stored in a keepsake box, these looks could be described as walking scrapbooks, with precious Warhol-inspired illustrations and patches strewn throughout. Simons utilized these motifs in a mid-century manner that would have appealed to his predecessor. "It's not always about what you make when you are a designer, it's about what you keep near," he says. "A postcard, a leaf, something connected to your personal taste or desire or about what you fundamentally are or what you are about to say."
These previously unpublished images (left) offer a sneak peak into Simons's intimate design process, revealing the skilled craftsmanship that goes into each piece. Layers upon layers of chiffon, printed on, sewn, and/or embellished with his Warholian motifs provide an up-close and personal look into private preshow moments and demonstrate how the etchings, patchworks, and embroideries came together in the mind of the designer. The Memory Dresses are, in a word, unforgettable.

The Times newspaper recently reported a story that Apple attempted to place a gag order on a Liverpool father and his daughter. The father says his 11-year old daughter dropped her iPod Touch and the Touch soon burst into flames. When the father contacted Apple hoping for a refund, Apple offered compensation only if the father would sign a non-disclosure agreement of sorts.
This is not the only case of the exploding Apples. Other stories are surfacing in Europe and the U.K. where some owners are claiming their iPods go snap, crackle and pop.
Upon hearing this news I quickly grabbed my iPod to see if I could replicate what I call the iBomb. But after hours of continuous play, I had no such luck. Bummer. I'm a geek and therefore go gaga over the latest techno toys so naturally I to want an exploding iPod.
I decided to call Apple and complain. I told technical support that "I had a defective iPod and wanted my money back." A nice Apple technician named Leisha asked why I thought my iPod was defective, to which I replied, "because it doesn't explode like the other iPods I've read about." Silence on Leisha's end for a couple seconds.
Leisha: "Uh...sir... your iPod not exploding is a good thing."
Me: "Not really. I'm tired of this model and want to get another one so I would rather mine explode like other iPods so I can start shopping for a new one."
Leisha: "Where did you hear that iPods explode?"
Me: "I read it on the Internets."
Leisha: "Oh my, that can't be true. I've not..."
Me: "Can you please tell me which iPod application I can download that will make my iPod burst into flames?"
Leisha: "Uh... I don't think I can tell you where to get such an application... sir."
Me: "Why not, Leisha? I'm willing to pay for it. Is it some sort of secret application you're not allowed to talk about?"
Leisha: Faint giggle. "No sir. There isn't a secret application that makes your iPod explode..."
Me: "Then why do other peoples' iPods explode and not mine?" I start to cry like a baby that can't have any candy.
Leisha: "Please sir. Don't cry. I think you should be happy your iPod functions properly and that it doesn't burst into flames."
Me: "It's my iPod and I'll cry if I want to. Why are you being so mean to me, Leisha?"
Leisha: "I'm sorry sir you're so unhappy that your iPod doesn't explode. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"
Me: "Well. There is one thing... would you mind telling me if you think you have beautiful feet? And, do you have painted toenails?
Leisha: Laughing out loud. "As a matter of fact sir, I do have beautiful feet if I do say so myself and my toenails are painted metallic flake pink."
Me: "Oh my." Gulp. "Would it be possible if you could take a picture of your feet and email it to my iPhone? I hear iPhones are exploding as well."
Leisha: "I'll see what I can do. Have a nice day sir and thank you for calling Apple." Click.
I hung up my iPhone and no sooner than I did it exploded and burst into flames.
Either my iPhone was an iBomb, or Leisha had some pretty hot feet.
