A new railcard allowing two people travelling together to save a third on train fares will go on sale tomorrow.
The Two Together Railcard costs ÂŁ30 a year and can be used an unlimited number of times by two named and photographed people.
Railcards were previously only available to those who were either under 26, over 60, disabled, serving in the armed forces or travelling with children.
It is the first national railcard to be launched for 30 years and gives couples, pairs of friends, relatives or colleagues the chance to make significant savings on fares.
It can be used to save on standard and first class Anytime, Off-Peak and Advance tickets for travel throughout Britain after 9.30am Monday to Friday and all day on weekends and bank holidays.
David Mapp, commercial director at Atoc (the Association of Train Operating Companies), said: "The Two Together Railcard is the first new national railcard in 30 years and will make train journeys even more attractive for pairs of passengers nationwide.
"It's ideal for visiting family and friends, day trips or weekend breaks, so the Two Together Railcard will encourage more people to leave the car at home and take the train instead.
"As well as savings on rail travel, the new railcard also offers savings on attractions, theatre shows, restaurants, hotels and more."
Atoc gave the example of two Super Off-Peak single tickets from Birmingham New Street to London Euston which would normally cost ÂŁ45.80 but with the new railcard the two passengers can get to the capital for ÂŁ30.50 - a saving of ÂŁ15.30.
Two Advance single tickets from Newcastle to Leeds will now cost ÂŁ14.50 - saving ÂŁ7.50.
Atoc expects the average saving for holders of the Two Together Railcard to be over ÂŁ100 a year.

Ke$ha may be best known for her funky makeup ideas - from multi-colored glitter to glow-in-the-dark tribal paint - this pop star has literally tried it all. However, for a recent photo shoot in Glamour Magazine, Ke$ha proved that she's not trying to hide anything behind all that makeup. Natural makeup palettes allowed her God-given beauty - including freckles - to shine through in what Us Weekly called her "most shocking look yet."
In the shoot, the blonde TiK ToK singer donned a simple white off-the-shoulder sweater, black shorts and beige fishnets. Her wardrobe is shocking enough for hardcore fans, since she usually puts off a carefree rocker vibe, with holes in her stockings and denim, furry accessories and lots of glitter.
But it was her fresh-faced makeup that surprised most people. Instead of piles of eyeshadow in colors that you might find in a Crayola box, the songstress is rocking a gorgeously natural eyeshadow palette that helps her baby blues stand out. Just enough bronzer, blush and a hint of lip color accentuated her beautiful features.

On the other hand, some of the maps here have been done as commissions for commercial publication. If in doubt, best thing to do is just PM the artist whose work you would like to use and ask permission.

Re: Admin welcome
Thanks! I appreciate it, it's good to be on-board. Oh, and if you have a moment, could you review the Featured articles nominations and possibly weigh in on some of them? I recently got the process started up again and I'd like to get some people to vote on the nominations that have been made. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:39, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
You flatter me, really. If it is in the best interest of the wiki, I'd gladly accept nomination. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:18, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Other featured content
You're completely right, it could all use a good lookover. I was hoping to clear out some of the backlog on the Featured articles stuff first, and then maybe move on to that. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:00, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry to bother you, but would I be able to use this page as a source for renaming Expulso to "Expulso Spell"? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:54, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Hm... it should work. Do you mean you can't click on it, or just that it doesn't seem to lead anywhere? Either way, here's the site: http://www.gamesover.com/HP7/level11.htm, in case you still can't get the link to work so you can copy and paste it into your search bar. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:00, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
- That's odd... anyways, it's pretty much just a video game guide for the seventh video game, with a screenshot calling Expulso the "Expulso Spell"; I wouldn't have asked first, but as it wasn't an official source I wasn't sure if we could use it or not. By the way, your name isn't turning up orange as it should when an admin edits, and sorry if I sounded rude in my edit note on the Boggart page. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:10, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Videos and references issue
This was an issue that came up a while back when Wikia added in the "Media galleries" feature. As Hunnie Bunn indicated, if you find any others like that, you can just change "widths" to "width" and it should solve the problem. Most of them have already been taken care of, but there may still be one or two here or there that have the issue. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:58, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry to keep bothering you. But I had two questions.
- Would it be all right if I change the "their" in your last message to Professor Tofty to "his", as it's just one talk page?
- I see you opened up a vote for Seth Cooper to be a bureaucrat; am I allowed to vote?
Thanks --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:42, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Expulso Spell and Orange
The link loaded okay for me, however, given that this is an unofficial gameplay and strategy site, I can't endorse a change in the spell name based simply on the information of this site. And as for your name not appearing in orange, I can see it in orange on the Recent Changes, but not the Recent Wiki Activity. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:57, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

I wonder which of the Death Eater in 4 film was Avery?
HP on the Web
Hello! How would you feel about taking part of the responsibility for the Harry Potter Wiki Twitter (@Official_HPWiki) and Facebook? We are looking for someone or some people who would be interested in maintaining the accounts! We usually like to update daily, but we also like to have fun with it! I am contacting you because you seem pretty active on this wiki, so if you are interested in learning more, please let me know! If you are not interested, but can think of other users that would be and would maintain the accounts regularly, please let me know as well, thanks!

Possibly same character
Hello Nick O'Demus I noticed that: Unidentified Death Eater (III) and Unidentified Male Death Eater (III) has the same costume .If it's the same character then we're on this Wiki progressed a further .Talk it over with the other Admins .
Non-beings as creatures.
Hope you don't mind me disagreeing with you, but I am not sure that categorizing "non-beings" as "creatures" is correct. Unless you define "non-beings" as "other-than-beings", it is logically contradictory. MinorStoop 13:13, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
Hello Nick O'Demus. I've recently opened a new forum, which you can find here. I would appreciate your valuable input on this matter. Thanks. --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 21:01, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
Bullying Report
Hi. According to this user I am constantly harassing and bullying him on his talk page and to use his words "tearing [him] apart". You can find the comments here. I figured I'd let you know in case you wanted to block me or something, whatever it is you do when you see mean comments. Thanks! Template:Hb
Never mind, it turns out I wasn't bullying him after all. Sorry to bother.
Reading Club
However, ProfessorTofty and I were thinking of starting a Reading Club (or so, I asked and Professor Tofty said it was worth considering). Would you be interested in participating? Template:Hb--Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 02:06, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for changing the page Avery (Marauder-era)!
Well, thank you a lot to correct my mistake!--NGC fan (talk) 13:14, January 29, 2013 (UTC)NGC fan
RE:RE:Linking and Reading Club
Sorry it took so long to respond, my computer kept on shutting itself down before I realized it needed charging... As toward the linking matter, I think perhaps it would be best to expand the two wikis before beginning to link this one to them, as this one is so large by comparison. Toward the reading club, though - we look forward to seeing you there, and it should be good fun. --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 12:59, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

4 Steps to Optimize Your Drupal Site, Increase Traffic
by Katelyn Fogarty
I recently used acquia.com to demonstrate how to increase site traffic on a Drupal website by improving the online marketing. This conversation made me think that I could share some of the key things I do on acquia.com with other Drupal site managers. For starters, SEO, or search engine optimization, is a huge focus for me and there are some great tools in Drupal to help with this.
Please start by enabling clean URLs within your system settings. It's easy. Just a check box.
Step 2:
Now, for a bit more work. I've listed out the top 5 modules I suggest putting on your website to help with SEO.
- Global Redirect
This modules does a bunch of things but the important features are that it checks for multiple aliases for 1 URL and 301 redirects them to the correct URL. Drupal by default does not remove the old or original path if you create an alias which can cause duplicate content in search engines and negatively effect your SEO efforts.
- Page title
This module gives you granular control of your browser page title to enhance your ranking on SERPs (search engine result pages) and help your SEO because you will be using rich keywords in those page titles.
- Meta tags quick (Drupal 7) or Nodewords (Drupal 6)
The great thing about Drupal is there are many ways to do the same thing, so pick the one that works best for you. I personally like nodewords and meta tags quick as my meta keywords, meta descriptions and canonical tags module. If you go do Drupal.org and search meta data, you will find many others. Pick the one that you like best. This is just a way to get your meta descriptions on your pages.
- Path auto
This module automatically generates your page URLs based on content you define. For example, you can pick a content type of blog to always have the URL /blog/[blog title] . This way the user doesn't have to manually specify a path alias. And if you give your content keyword rich titles, your URLs will also contain those high ranking terms to improve your SEO.
- XML Sitemap
This module creates an XML sitemap for search engines to easily find and index pages on your site. This module also allows for you to submit your sitemap to popular search engines.
There are of course many more modules you can add and once you've set these up and configured them you may have need for more. A great tool that I use on acquia.com to check what other modules I could be running to help improve SEO is the SEO Grader tool within Acquia Insight.
Step 3:
Now that you have all the base modules for SEO, my suggestion would be to define your targeted keyword list. Update: The Google keyword planner shows the number of searches for a specific term. This can tell you if there is any traffic potential from that keyword if you are able to rank for it.
- Google Trends – Allows you to see how a keyword has done over the years.
- WordTracker – Provides dozens of tools to help you find the best keywords.
- WebCEO – This software has tools for reporting, site audits, keyword research and link building. They have a free version and a paid version. Best for a DIY team.
Once you have used the keyword tools, you should have a list of keywords that will be the focus of your SEO campaign.
Step 4:
Map your targeted keywords to specific pages. This will give you a better chance to rank for those key terms. Each page should have 1 or 2 targeting keywords. Once your keyword mapping process is done, write page descriptions for each of those targeted pages containing those keywords; create or update page titles in your page title module field; and be sure to update page content to include those targeted keywords.
Search engine algorithms change all the time so you'll want to make sure you have some type of analytics software enabled to watch your keyword trends and your organic site traffic.
Congratulations! You now have a well optimized Drupal website!
Still need help with Drupal Search Engine Optimization? Check out Acquia Insight and the SEO grader tool or scan your site now with a Free scan of Insight.
With this being my first blog post, I should probably introduce myself, my name is Kate Fogarty and I am the web manager for acquia.com. I have been using Drupal for the past 5 years and bring an interesting mix of design, development and marketing to the marketing team. Listen to my podcast to learn more about me!
This is great advice! Note that for Drupal 7 I'd recommend Meta tags (http://drupal.org/project/met atag) over Meta Tags Quick. I'd also evaluate Redirect (http://drupal.org/project/re direct) as an alternative to Global Redirect.
Good advice to start getting A+'s in the free insight scan tool. I would also add the schema.org module (http://drupal.org/project/s chemaorg) that enables rich snippets in your site and always enable clean urls and domain canonicalization.
Metatag Quick doesn't support many things that Metatag does, so what prompted its recommendation?
Nodewords was not yet upgraded to D7 (Metatags) version when we needed to implement this, so we went with metatags_quick. It does everything we need it to, so we don't feel we're missing out on anything - yet ;)
Fast meta tag does not accept many things meta ago, so what is your recommendation?
Is there any Drupal module that can do SEO scoring Drupal website based on main keyword? I think it will more easy to get SEO-optimized page with that..:)
i recently started SEO and is very tedious and complicate, an automated tool will help thats thrue.
Thanks Katelyn for that magnific information work.
Great article. Was looking, though, for some mention of tag to get local ranking. Any tips on how to use it properly in cases where the business has multiple office? Should it be used for all offices?
Katelyn Fogarty, I read your post,, really great work...But one considerable matter is that you told here to analyses keyword with Google Adwords keyword tool, when i search this tool in Google, they show me Google keyword Planner instead of Google Adwords keyword tool.. In many post in internet i saw this matter,, they suggested Google Adwords keyword tool,, but it has no existence... I want to know more about it...please help me..
This is very much great and hope fully nice blog. Every body can easily found her need able information. I am visit first time but I fond many use full article. I will back again when get time.
First, let me say that the info in this article is right on the money for any website, not just Drupal (expect for specific Drupal tools mentioned). There seems to be a lot of question about meta tags and to be honest, no one needs a program to make those. That is one of the easiest things to write because you can simply copy one that already exists, save it and change the info as needed for yourself and paste it in your site. There is no real need for any software and most of them just want to get their name in your site code so that search engines will see it. Just my opinion of course.
Man! I got all other information about SEO and I found out that we have different ways in doing SEO. I thought everything is the same, but I was wrong.
We know that SEO is the best to rank your website fast, but you must learn all the effective way to get good results.
good refrence
wow! No doubt to say this is the best article i have ever read on this topic. Easy and understandable.

Belly-Up Fish & Seafood Processing Plant
Revision as of 13:30, May 22, 2011 by WikisEditor (Talk | contribs)

this wiki
Belly Up is a seafood processing plant in Liberty City circa 2001. They use Mule trucks/vans (specifically, Triad Fish Vans) that are seen driving around Portland Island in Grand Theft Auto III. The name "belly up", as well as the logo, is a take on dead fish.
Crates bearing the Belly Up logo can be seen at the docks in East Hook, Broker, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV. They can easily be found right across the street from Brucie's Executive Auto Garage.
The character yakuza2 sports a small Belly-Up fish logo.

Chambered Advantages:
Warmoth has been creating chambered bodies for over 15 years and now, many high end guitar creators are starting to offer chambered bodies as well. Our uniquely engineered cavities allow the body to remain very stiff while affording a minimum 25% weight reduction! These bodies are very resonant; they feel "alive" when plucked. Sustain is improved over their solid body counterparts and feedback is not an issue since the chambers are small. Tone wise, Alder, Ash, and Mahogany each maintain their traditional wood/tone coloration but notes are more open, full, fat, and chunky sounding.
If you are not completely satisfied with your Warmoth chambered guitar or bass body, you may return it within 30 days of receipt for a full refund (shipping costs will not be refunded). The body must be in sellable condition. Modifications to the body outside of general setup (such as: relicing, non-Warmoth finishes, non-Warmoth routing, etc.) will nullify this guarantee. Other terms & conditions apply:

Weapons in GTA IV
this wiki
Weapons play a major role in Grand Theft Auto IV. The number of weapons in GTA IV has dropped to 15. Real-Life weapons are harder to find, and have been moved to the top of buildings and in allyways, out of the way, although weapons are commonly found before big "shootout" missions in plain sight for the player to find. Weapons that have been dropped by fallen enemies now realistically lie on the ground with a distinctive orange color glow to catch the player's eye, instead of floating in other Grand Theft Auto games.
The weapons in GTA IV have 2 strength tiers, instead of 3 levels, like in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Also, the guns do not have specific names, probably for legal reasons ; instead, weapons have been given more generalized names (for example, the AK-47 is called the Assault Rifle and the Desert Eagle is called the Combat Pistol).
Much like the real New York, the Civilian Sale and ownership of firearms in Liberty City is illegal, but just as it is with real life criminals, Niko Bellic and friends don't seem to mind breaking the Law in order to arm themselves. Keeping in line with the political reality satirized by the game, the Ammu-Nation shops found in previous GTAs have been closed down due to strict Gun Laws. Taking their place, however, are a number of shady, underground gun shops located in basements and alleys around the city. Additionally, if the player has earned enough respect with Little Jacob, the player has the option to call him to meet the player nearby with a vehicle full of weapons at a reduced price. Unlike prior games, the player does not need to purchase multiple instances of firearms to stock up on ammunition, instead the player buys one gun and pays a smaller amount for each additional magazine. However, the player now has a limit on how much ammunition he can carry for each weapon.
Additional weapons are available in the downloadable episodes of Grand Theft Auto IV : The Lost And Damned and The Ballad Of Gay Tony. The player can contact Terry Thorpe and Armando Torres, respectively, for weapons delivery in the episodes.
Melee weapons are used when the player does not have any firearms or when a situation does not call for one, such as a mission where the player must threaten a target without killing him.
Unarmed, the player is able to dodge attacks, disarm opponents, and perform ground punches and kicks, lefts and rights, and uppercuts and jabs. Moves can be strung together to create a combo. On some occasions, the player can perform "Stun" hits. Fighting unarmed is the best way to fight someone without killing them, something that can be important in several missions. With the fist selected as current weapon, the player can pick up random objects off the streets, such as a brick, bottle, mug, cheese, cup noodles, jewellery box, perfume bottle, empty glass bottle, sex toys, candle stand, cigarette, cue ball, cup pad, drink can, food wrapper, burger, doughnut/donut, sauce holder, sauce dish, cellphone, radio (dropped by cop) etc. However the player cannot switch weapons while an item is picked up, unless the item is a thrown item such as a brick. Oddly, all items on the street that the player picks up do the same damage when thrown at someone. Objects which can be picked up and thrown will not disappear no matter how far away it is from the player. Given an example, if the player picks up an object from The Majestic Hotel rooftop and throws it down the building from the balcony, the player will still find the object which he/she threw earlier on in its original condition either with it landed on the road or on the pavement/sidewalk when the player make a visit to the street level where the object landed.

Baseball Bat
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $5
- Locations
The bat can be swung left or right. The player can also block attacks with it. The bat can be useful when the player doesn't want to draw attention to themselves, since it is considered a "silent" weapon, though less so than the Knife. The bat is a superior weapon against an unprotected opponent to the Knife, as it will often knock them down them in one or two blows rendering them defenseless. It can also knock weapons out of opponent's hands when they are aiming in the direction of the player. In The Lost and the Damned, the Baseball Bat can be used to attack enemies during a motorcycle race.
Thrown Weapons
Thrown weapons are useful when engaging groups of enemies. Thrown weapons in GTA IV are more versatile than they were in the GTA III Era; thrown weapons can be thrown forwards with precision aim, dropped by pressing the fire button without holding the aim button, or thrown from vehicles. Carelessness with thrown weapons, such as overcooking a grenade or walking into flames caused by a Molotov, can result in the player's death.
Carrying capacity for thrown weapons is 25 units.
Molotov Cocktail
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $500 per unit
- Cost (Contact) : $350 per unit
- Rate Of Fire :
- Standard : 30 RPM
- When Drive-By Shooting : 40 RPM from a car, 50 RPM from a motorcycle
- Locations
The Molotov Cocktail, named after 1920s Soviet politician Vyacheslav Molotov, is a crude but effective weapon that creates a large burst of flames on the target. When thrown forward, it is thrown overhanded, which helps to ensure that the player throws it far enough that he doesn't burn himself. The player can also toss Molotovs behind themselves to fend off pursuers. They are primarily an anti-personnel weapon as long term exposure to flames is required to destroy a vehicle. Any target caught in flames is defenseless while burning, allowing the player to finish off his target easily.
The player must be careful not to get burned himself as the player loses a large portion of his health or armor when burned, and is left thrashing on the ground until they put themselves out, vulnerable to further attack the entire time.
Grenades (M26A1)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $1,000 per unit
- Cost (Contact) : $700 per unit
- Rate Of Fire :
- Standard : 30 RPM
- When Drive-By shooting : 50 RPM
- Locations
The grenade is excellent at clearing rooms full of enemies and taking out vehicles. Grenades can be tossed underhanded, thrown overhanded, or dropped from behind while running. The player can shorten the detonation timer by cooking a grenade, which is done by holding the fire button. When cooking a grenade, it begins beeping if held for too long. The grenade is an effective drive-by weapon, as a well timed grenade can disable or destroy a pursuing vehicle, but the player must be careful not to catch his own vehicle in the explosion.
Handguns are the most widespread firearms in the game. While not particularly powerful, handguns can be very effective when used properly, especially when the player aims for the head of a target. Handguns are best suited for close to medium ranges. Handguns can be used from a vehicle, but it is recommended that the player use a submachine gun for that purpose instead if one is available. Handguns are the only weapons which can be used for a cinematic execution.
Carrying capacity for handgun ammunition is 1,500 rounds.

Developed in the 1980s by Austrian engineer, Gaston Glock, the eponymous pistol soon became the world's most popular civilian and Law Enforcement sidearm. With its polymer frame and simple, internal striker-fired mechanism, the Glock series of pistols is both lightweight and extremely durable. It is the standard pistol for most of the game, and it is the standard sidearm of all Law Enforcement Agencies in Liberty City. It has a decent range when shooting, and has about 3 to 5 shots to kill someone when shooting normally.Even though its seventeen-round magazine capacity is consistent with the 9x19mm Glock 17, a close look at the gun reveals that "22" is written on the slide, confirming that it is a .40 S&W Glock 22, which has a fifteen-round magazine.
Combat Pistol (Desert Eagle .357)

In 1979, Magnum Research Inc. set out to create the first gas-operated, magnum-caliber pistol. While the end product is generally considered too heavy and too expensive to serve as a practical combat pistol, it hasn't stopped the Desert Eagle from becoming the weapon of choice for fictional bad guys. It has better stopping power and range than the Pistol, but it has a smaller magazine capacity, forcing more frequent reloads. The variant in the game is the nine-round wikipedia:.357 Magnum.357 Magnum version.
Shotguns are somewhere between Pistols and SMGs. They are extremely powerful at close to mid range and are often one-to-two hit kills. They deal far more damage per shot, but fire far more slowly to compensate, so they aren't ideal when fighting a large group of enemies while running-and-gunning out in the open. They are best used while using cover for laying down a small number of enemies during close combat and for surprise attacks for that quick kill.
Carrying capacity for shotgun ammunition is 80 shells.
Pump Shotgun (Ithaca Model 37 Stakeout)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $1,200 + $100 for 8 shells
- Cost (Contact) : $840 + $70 for 8 shells
- Magazine Size : 8 shells
- Damage : 20 per pellet
- Rate Of Fire : 50 RPM
- Locations
Based roughly on the classic Ithaca Model 37, the Stakeout is a pump-action shotgun made in large numbers for the civilians, the Military, and the Law Enforcement Agencies. The pistol grip and shorter overall length makes it perfect for home defense and law enforcement. It is more powerful than the Combat Shotgun due to its short barrel and wide field of fire, but can't shoot as fast or as far to compensate, making the weapon best suited for close-quarters combat. The weapon's design suggests that its tube magazine should only hold 4 rounds.
- NOTE : Little Jacob does not carry the Pump Shotgun once the Combat Shotgun is in stock.
Combat Shotgun (Remington 11-87)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $2,500 + $200 for 10 shells
- Cost (Contact) : $1,500 + $100 for 10 shells
- Magazine Size : 10 shells
- Damage : 10 per pellet
- Rate Of Fire :
- Standard : 150 RPM
- When falling or being burned : 130 RPM
- When blind firing from cover : 50 RPM
- Locations
This semi-automatic shotgun is a powerful tool for disposing of enemies quickly and efficiently. This seems to be based on the Beretta 1201 FP, but with the barrel of a Military Remington 870. Although it burns through ammo quickly and not as powerful as the Pump, it is useful for holding back enemies and saturating an area with large amounts of lead, and has a far greater range than the Pump Shotgun. It can be obtained when the player enters a Police Car, however law enforcement never use this weapon, opting to use the Pump Shotgun when attacking the player.
In The Lost And Damned, the Combat Shotgun is supplanted with a Carbine Model, which it bears a pistol grip and a retractable stock very similar to that of the Carbine Rifle ; it also has a picatinny rail on top of the gun. All of its other attributes remain the same.
Due to its presence in previous games and its appearance in a piece of GTA IV concept art, it was widely thought before the game's release that the Franchi SPAS-12 was to be in the game, but the developers evidently opted for the Beretta 1201 FP/Remington 870 mix instead.
- NOTE : Armando does not carry the Combat Shotgun, stocking the "Automatic/Explosive Shotgun" in its place.
Sub-Machine Guns
Submachine guns are the next step up from shotguns. They're most effective at close-to-medium range while running and gunning at targets to quickly cycle through them to finish them off, but are ineffective at long distances. The player should fire in bursts when engaging mid-range targets and only fire in full auto when confronted up-close. These are preferred over pistols when doing drive-bys or chasing down an escaping car and are the strongest weapons that can be used while doing so, unless the situation allows Hand Grenades to be employed.
Carrying capacity for submachine gun ammunition is 1,200 rounds.
Micro-SMG (Micro-UZI)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $1,200 + $100 for each additional magazine
- Cost (Contact) : $840 + $20 for each additional magazine
- Magazine Size : 50 rounds
- Damage : 30
- Rate Of Fire :

- When Drive-By shooting : 450 RPM
- When falling or being burned : 750 RPM
- Locations
The Isreali Military Industries (IMI ; later Isreali Weapons Industry-IWI) Micro UZI is a machine pistol developed by Isreali gun designer Uziel Gal during the 1940s. The weapon is a sub-compact version of the IMI/IWI full-sized UZI Submachine Gun, and is chambered to fire the 9mm round. The rate of fire of the Micro Uzi is listed as approximately 900 rpm (rounds per minute), though in reality, it is closer to 1,200 RPM. At this incredibly high rate of fire, the weapon is difficult to control while on full-auto, but short bursts can be accurate at ranges up to about 30 yards (27 meters). The model in game appears to be that of a semi-automatic UZI Pistol, made for the civilian market, due to the lack of the folding metel stock arm, or the lugs and nuts used to attach it. One could assume that Little Jacob illegally modified it to fire fully-automatic, something real-life arms dealers do very often.
While the Micro-SMG is not as accurate as the SMG, it holds 20 more rounds per magazine, making it a good blindfire or drive-by weapon. And by aiming at certain body parts, the Mirco-SMG's spray can be focused to raise its effectiveness.
- NOTE : Armando does not carry the Micro-SMG, stocking the Gold SMG in its place.
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $2,500 + $150 for each additional magazine
- Cost (Contact) : $1,750 + $20 for each additional magazine
- Magazine Size : 30 rounds
- Damage : 30

- When Drive-By shooting : 450 RPM
- When falling or being burned : 750 RPM
- When blind firing from cover : 550 RPM

The MP-10 is a heavily modified MP5-Style submachine gun, a cross between a standard model and its shortened variant, doing away with a buttstock and fitting a polymer grip with a flashlight and a Picatinny rail on top. In comparison to the Micro-SMG, it is far more accurate, but has a slower rate of fire and smaller magazine. It is apparently made in very small numbers by an equally small company. The "SW" stands for "Special Weapons" (not to be confused with Smith & Wesson), but the weapon is confirmed to be a varient of the Heckler & Koch MP5 series. NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers and FIB Agents use the SMG from their vehicles at higher 5 and 6 Wanted Stars as they attempt to stop the player.
The MP5 was featured in early artwork as the MP5NA3, but for some reason Rockstar North decided to remove it, and use the MP-10.
Assault Rifles
The iconic assault rifles fill the niche between sniper rifles and SMG's. While they are more powerful and accurate than SMGs, assault rifles are also more expensive and cannot be fired while operating a vehicle, but can be fired from any of the three passenger seats of a helicopter or boat. Assault rifles are most effective when fired in bursts at medium to long ranges. From assaulting a building full of bad guys to fending off law enforcement, assault rifles are excellent combat weapons.
Carrying capacity for assault rifle ammunition is 600 rounds.
Assault Rifle (AK-47)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $3,500 + $80 for each additional magazine
- Cost (Contact) : $2,450 + $55 for each additional magazine
- Magazine Size : 30 rounds
- Damage : 40

Carbine Rifle (M4A1)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $5,000 + $100 for each additional magazine
- Cost (Contact) : $3,500 + $70 for each additional magazine
- Magazine Size : 30 rounds
- Damage : 30
- Rate Of Fire :
- Standard : 450 RPM
- When falling or being burned : 400 RPM
- Locations
The M4A1 Carbine entered service in the late 1990s-early 2000s as an automatic modification for the original Colt M4 in service with the United States military (which had a "safe-semi-burst" trigger group) to fill a Special Forces order. Due to the events of the 1997 North Hollywood Shootout, Police Forces now have access to the M4A1 as well. It is gas-operated and air-cooled, with a cyclic firing rate of 700 to 900 rounds per minute. Overall length is 33 inches (with stock extended) and the barrel length is 14.5 inches. The Carbine is more accurate than the AK-47 but less powerful. It mounts a small sight on the receiver's Picatinny rail, but no attachments can be mounted on it. It can be acquired from NOOSE Tactical Response Unit Officers and FIB Agents as well as certain LCPD Officers, specifically those who guard places of high security level like subway stations and landmark areas.
Sniper Rifles
Sniper Rifles are unmatched in precision long range shooting. Sniper Rifles are far more accurate and powerful than Assault Rifles, but they have low rates-of-fire and small magazine capacities, and so should be quickly switched out for a more suitable weapon when confronted up close. Sniper Rifles are good getting the jump on enemies by picking them off from a safe distance, and for providing far-away Sniper Support for friends in a heated gun battle.
Carrying capacity for Sniper Rifle ammunition is 50 rounds.
Sniper Rifle (Remington 700)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $6,000 + $800 for each additional magazine
- Magazine Size : 5 rounds
- Damage : 75
- Rate Of Fire :
- Standard : 48 RPM
- When falling or being burned : 170 RPM
- Locations
The Remington 700 is a popular hunting rifle that can be found chambered in a wide range of calibers and was later adopted by the Military as the M24 and M40 sniper rifles. Strangely enough, the one in the game appears to have been further customized to use an external 10 round magazine, yet it only holds 5. It is a powerful rifle, but has a slow rate of fire due to its bolt action mechanism.
Combat Sniper (H&K PSG-1)
- Cost (Gun Shop) : $8,500 + $500 for each additional magazine
- Cost (Contact) : $5,000 + $500 for each additional magazine
- Magazine Size : 10 rounds
- Damage : 75
- Rate Of Fire :
- Standard : 170 RPM
- When falling or being burned : 150 RPM
- Locations
The PSG-1 is a sniper variant of the H&K G3, used by the elite German anti-terrorist unit GSG 9 as a dedicated-marksman rifle and popular in film and television. The PSG-1 is built to extremely tight tolerances and is deadly accurate in the hands of a skilled operator using match ammunition. It is semi-automatic, allowing for more rounds on a target than the Sniper Rifle, however it is not as powerful. It is used by the LCPD.
Rocket/Grenade Launchers
- Cost (gun shop): $15,000 + $5,000 for each additional rocket
- Cost (contact): $10,000 + $3,500 for each additional rocket
- Magazine Size: 1 rocket
- Carrying Capacity: 8 rockets
- Rate of Fire:
- Standard: 20 RPM
- When falling or being burned: 30 RPM
- Locations
This classic, widely-produced, portable, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket propelled grenade weapon was first used by the Soviet Union in 1961. The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness of the RPG-7 have made it the most widely used anti-tank weapon in the world. The RPG can be blindfired and even skipped off the ground and knock things around that are in its way. The weapon is aimed from the over-the-shoulder perspective, allowing the player to move while aiming, unlike the GTA III era where the player was forced into a stationary first-person perspective. A direct hit with a Rocket destroys most vehicles and heavily damages any nearby vehicles with the force of the explosion. The Rocket self-detonates when it reaches its maximum range. Unlike the GTA III era, the player does not need a direct hit on the fuselage of a helicopter to take it down as the force of the detonating Rocket can cause a helicopter pilot to lose control and crash. It is, by far, one of the deadliest weapons in the game, however, misuse of the RPG can result in the player's own death.
- NOTE : Little Jacob does not carry the Rocket Launcher, but in the beta release, he carries it while it is strapped underneath his car.

The MP5 was seen in a pre-release screenshot for GTA IV with a 15-round magazine
In game art for the game, a NOOSE Tactical Response Unit officer is seen using a M16. Additionally, other agents are shooting it. Mods allow for the Carbine to be replaced with this weapon, in this case, with an added scope [1].
The Python was going to be featured and was shown in a screenshot before GTA IV was released. The Colt Python, released in 1955, is a .357 Magnum, 6-shot revolver, known for it's smooth action and tight cylinder lockup. The Python is a rare find for anything less than $1,000 today, as it was discontinued in 1999. An equivalent weapon is featured in The Ballad Of Gay Tony DLC, but modeled after a semi-automatic AMT AutoMag.
Just like the Python, a Silenced Pistol was spotted in a pre-release screenshot, but was cut before the game's release.

text: The Impossible Project: Bringing back Polaroid Polaroid 04 November 09 by Mic Wright This article was taken from the December issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineMannequins pose in the dusty factory, lines of Polaroid images spread before them, their careers as test subjects for batches of film seemingly over. This factory in Enschede, Holland, was for 20 years Polaroid's main European base, a complex of six buildings dedicated to making the iconic instant film. Today it is home to a team of just 15. Their mission: to bring instant film back to life.In 2004, Polaroid decided to stop producing the negatives needed to create its instant film. It believed that it had stockpiled enough material to produce ten million films a year for ten years. It was wrong. Demand was far higher than expected, and by mid-2008 the negatives were almost gone. Sixty-two years after its creator, Edwin Land, had unveiled his first instant negative, Polaroid film was seemingly finished.Supply problems had troubled the company from the start. Polaroid made only 60 units of Land's first instant camera, the Land Camera. Fifty-seven of that first batch went on sale before Christmas 1948 at Jordan Marsh, a Boston department store. The company estimated that the stock would last until it could manufacture a second run. All 57 cameras sold out on the first day.Before Land, photography involved exposing light-sensitive material, developing, fixing and printing it. As a first-year student at Harvard, Land thought it might be possible to create polarising film by lining up crystals of iodoquinine sulphate and embedding them in transparent plastic to prevent them from moving apart. From there, he created Polaroid instant film. It held the developing solution in a hermetically sealed compartment bundled with the photosensitive paper. Pressure rollers in the camera spread the chemicals across the paper when it was exposed, activating the reaction that developed the print. Polaroid instant film was an immediate success. At its peak, in 1991, sales of cameras and films were close to $3 billion. But by 2004, the digital-photography revolution had led the company to refocus. The factory continued to produce, ship and sell films -24million of them in 2008 alone - but the scarcity of raw materials and the shift from film had numbered its days.On June 14, 2008, Polaroid held a closing party at the Enschede factory. It was there that the man tasked with killing off Polaroid instant film met a man obsessed with saving it. By the end of the evening, they had a shared mission: to create a new instant film that would work in existing Polaroid cameras as well as a new model.André Bosman was the man Polaroid charged with shutting down the Enschede complex. It was not a role he cherished. In 28 years with the firm, he had risen from engineer to factory manager. With his neat, scraped back hair, Bosman, now 56, is enthusiastic but extremely precise, choosing all his words with care.Years earlier, he had drawn up a survival plan for a smaller-scale operation. The factory was equipped to crank out 100 million film packs a year, but Bosman had a strategy for profitably producing ten million. "They were not interested," he shrugs. "That's the problem with big companies - back then, Polaroid was still 5,000 people. If you draw up an organisation of 200 people making ten million films, whose interest is it in? The customer's, but not the top management's."In October 2001, the original Polaroid Corporation had filed for bankruptcy in the US. Most of the firm's assets - including the Polaroid name and its profit-making foreign subsidiaries - were sold to an investment firm, One Equity Partners. The company's name was changed to the Polaroid Holding Company. On April 27, 2005, Petters Group Worldwide acquired the Polaroid Holding Company. The Petters Group had a long history of buying up failed companies to exploit prominent brand names, and Polaroid was an obvious target.Bosman's role, with the factory's closure just months away, now came down to breaking apart the machinery, selling what could be sold, and handing over the keys to the buildings' owners. He also had to help the factory's workers come to terms with the end of jobs many had held for more than 30 years. Now, on that Saturday in June 2008, Bosman had been given another mission by Polaroid's US management. An entrepreneur and instant-film obsessive, Florian Kaps, had been badgering them about "saving" instant film. Bosman had to tell this lunatic to stop. "It was a stupid thing to ask me," he says. "I was one of the people saying: you don't need to stop!"Kaps's fascination with Polaroid began relatively late. In 2004, he was working for the Lomographic Society, which promotes the cult analogue Lomo camera. "Everybody was scared because of the digital revolution," he recalls in his languid Austrian accent. "But I said, 'Hey, maybe this isn't the biggest threat but the biggest chance.' I started searching for the most analogue form out there." He settled on two possibilities - Super 8 and Polaroid instant film.Kaps, 40, is wearing a T-shirt with a stylised sketch of the Polaroid SX-70 camera and the slogan "Golden Years". His long hair is tied into a messy ponytail, his stubble rough and scratchy. He is restless as he talks, repeatedly picking up Wired's voice recorder to inspect it and swinging back on his chair. His graduate thesis was on the structure of spiders' eyes - but he describes himself as "a salesman".The complexity of Super 8 deterred him. "You need the camera, you need the film, you need to develop that and you need the projector." Polaroid was a simpler prospect: "It is the perfect medium. It is the most analogue film - it develops in the palm of your hand. It also has a lot of the advantages of digital - it's an instant picture. But it's more than just a picture. A lot of emotions are attached to it." He found it fascinating that people shook the film. "Why do they do that? Even if it's the first time they've used a Polaroid, they immediately start shaking it." Kaps made inquiries and discovered that Polaroid had all but given up on the product that made its name. Film was difficult to find and the brand had little presence online. "I said - this sounds like something that should be done." Kaps bought an original Polaroid SX-70 camera on eBay. "I got this camera and took it out," he says, his eyes widening with wonder. "It had brown leather and chrome. I unfolded it and pushed the button. Film came out and began to develop. Even my wife, who is always suspicious of my new fantasies and dreams, said 'Wow! This is the most beautiful camera I have ever seen.'" Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Sean Marshall Not A Starter
Sean Marshall sees himself as a starter, not a reliever.
At least that's the word coming from Bruce Levine of ESPN 1000.
Funny thing is…I feel just the opposite.
Last year the lefty went 1-2 with a 3.30 ERA in 46 relief appearances. By all means, pretty good.
As a starter, however, Marshall went 2-5 with a 5.24 ERA. Pretty bad.
And that's been the case with Marshall throughout his four years in Chicago.
When he starts he's awful, and when he relives he's sufficient, particularly as a lefty-specialist.
Marshall can choose to make whatever he wants of his own numbers, but if the 26-year-old can't reason with a career 19-29 record and 4.55 ERA, so be it.
In which case the Cubs are better off trading Marshall than trying to please a guy who wants to be something he isn't.
I've seen all I need to, this kid belongs in the pen.

St. Grogory's Primary School[1] was a Muggle elementary school located in or near Little Whinging, Surrey, England named after Saint Grogory. The school's headmistress in the early 1990s was C. Roemmele.[1]
Harry Potter attended St. Grogory's in the early 1990s. He had no friends there and was teased for wearing broken spectacles, repaired with tape, and his cousin Dudley Dursley's old, oversized clothing.[2]
Dudley also went to St. Grogory's, along with his friends Piers Polkiss, Dennis, Malcolm, and Gordon.[2][3] As a gang, these five bullied other students at the school, including Harry.[2][3]
One time, Harry was being pursued by Dudley's gang and tried to escape from them by ducking behind some rubbish bins outside the school's kitchens, but unintentionally flew on top of the chimney instead.[2] Headmistress Roemmele sent an "angry" letter to Harry's uncle and aunt, Vernon and Petunia Dursley, telling them that their nephew had been "climbing school buildings."[2]
Another time, Harry had to take home a school report, which told of how he had turned his teacher's wig blue.[4]
On 22 June, 1991, Headmistress Roemmele awarded a certificate to Dudley for "always eating up his lunch."[1]

While there is no real St. Grogory, there is a St. Gregory: Pope Gregory I. He is considered the patron saint of, among other things, students and teachers, making him a prime candidate to name a school after.[5]

Video: Television on the Go
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)--There are plenty of ways to watch 9News and your favorite TV shows right here on WUSA9. Your television. A computer. And soon on one of your digital mobile devices.
On Thursday 9 News anchor Derek McGinty was honored to emcee the official launch of some pretty amazing new technology down on Capitol Hill. It's broadcast television for your cell phone or tablet. It's called the mobile DTV. Brought to you by the Open Mobile Video Coalition, which includes broadcasters and technology types.
But what does all that mean to you?
It looks just like your TV. Sounds like it too. But can you take your 40-inch anywhere you want, any time?
"What you have here is basically the future," says Erik Moreno, Co-General Manager of Dyle TV. They make the app that makes TV mobile. That means live news, emergency information, primetime dramas. Whatever you like to watch at home, now you can get it while on the move.
Now video on your phone is certainly not new. The difference here, its over-the-air, like your television. Your free television.
"It does not require 3G, 4G or Wifi," says Moreno. "So a consumer is not going to get a data bill if they enjoy their television."
"Wow this is great. I love it," says one person in upper northwest DC when shown the device. "And one of my favorite shows is on right now. The Talk."
Now you have to note a couple of things: First the accessory to make your phone or tablet act like a television will cost about $100 But as of now, that's all you pay.
Moreno tells 9 NEWS you can't buy it just yet. But they expect it to be in stores by Black Friday. Happy Holidays!!!

Is 3-D Video Hurting Our Eyes ... Or Saving Them?
It sometimes seems like everything that's fun is also a potential threat to your health, so it's hardly surprising that 3-D movies, games and TVs have drawn fire from critics who worry that they could cause long-term eye damage. But eye care professionals say that the reverse may be true.

In the book 'e: The Story of a Number', a derivation of a parachutist problem is given on pg. 109-110. A parachutist jumps from a plane and at $t=0$ opens his chute. At what speed will he reach the ground?
$k$ is proportionality constant. $g$ is acceleration of gravity. $m$ is mass of parachutist. (This derivation assumes air resistance is linear with velocity.)
I am able to follow the derivation up to equation 3.
$$\tag{1}m\frac{dv}{dt} = mg - kv$$
$$\frac{dv}{dt} = g - av \tag{2}, \quad a = \frac{k}{m}$$
$$\frac{dv}{g-av} = dt \tag{3}$$
How does one integrate (3) to get the following?
$$-\frac{1}{a}\ln|g-av| = t + c \tag{4}$$

His latest project: a dance opera score blending Black and Indian genres
By Dwight Hobbes
Contributing Writer
JD Steele is, of course, even if you have been hiding under a rock, a household name in Twin Cities' music and, by extension, theatre. For that matter, he's internationally renowned along with his siblings as a vocalist-songsmith, arranger and producer for The Steeles. Still not ringing a bell? In case that rock you've been under is out in West Abu Dhabi somewhere, can you say, to name just a few titles, The Gospel at Colonus (yes, the film, TV and stage production featuring Morgan Freeman), Two Queens One Castle starring Jevetta Steele (Mixed Blood Theatre) and The Young and the Restless (CBS)? So yes, Steele has established his artistry with a rock-solid, far-reaching reputation. Continue Reading →

LINTHICUM, Md. (WUSA) - Pedestrian error may have led to the death of a Linthicum man, according to Anne Arundel County Police.
Officers responded to the report of a single car collision with a pedestrian on Monday just after 6 p.m. on Baltimore Annapolis Blvd. A 2002 Ford Explorer driven by Richard Charles Snyder Sr., 69, of Edgewater, Md., was traveling north in the far right lane when it struck a pedestrian who apparently stepped off a curb and into the car's path.
Nelson Bert Lehnert, 77, of Linthicum, was taken to a shock trauma center for treatment of injuries initially thought to be survivable. His condition deteriorated and he was pronounced dead later Monday night.
Police report that in the area where Lehnert tried to cross the street, there are no crosswalks or pedestrian traffic control devices. The investigation into the incident is continuing. According to police, neither speed nor alcohol appear to be factors in the collision, but they cite pedestrian error as a possibility.

- 'O' game pad key: boot from alternate image. At first, laptops have no alternate image.
- Rotate button: display Underwriters Labs safety message
- '◻' (square) game pad key: wipe out user directory and do a factory-fresh install. (appropriate for upgrading machines straight from the factory)
Before firmware q2c28
- Rotate button: play "startup sound" at boot (after q2c27, this key will turn off sound and graphic boot up screen)
- 'X' game pad key: interrupt boot, provide Open Firmware ok prompt. You may have to press the Esc key during the countdown (q2c25). It is easy to miss the countdown, but pressing Esc too early can disable the keyboard.
- 'O' game pad key: boot from backup OS image, for system recovery. (not yet in a stable build)
- Left directional pad: try out "pretty boot" (be patient, early versions show a static boot screen for a long time) (after q2c27, this key will turn off the "pretty boot")
- Right directional pad: try it and see! (tests hardware)
Further, the Autoreinstallation image uses a couple more special game key combinations:
- 'X' and '✓' (check) game pad keys: skip upgrade, just write activation lease to USB key and boot. (if your XO doesn't have a check key, use the 'O' key)
- 'X' and '◻' (square) game pad keys: wipe out user directory and do a factory-fresh install. (appropriate for upgrading machines straight from the factory)

SupportOldhamGreenwayeffortsTo the editor:As I was riding my bike on Ky. 393 and Ky. 146 into La Grange last Saturday, I was reminded that our community is completely dependent on motor vehicles to get from here to there. There is simply no infrastructure in place conducive to walking or riding in Oldham County. While riding my bike into town, I was constantly reminded by the whoosh of cars and trucks rushing past me just inches away, that my attempt at exercise was, in fact, dangerous to my health.
