Back when I played Hitman: Blood Money, the forums began to create Custom Missions.
Custom Missions are when you write a mission out for someone else to follow, this can be anything from assassinations, to drug deliveries, beating up journalists, or even dropping off a delightful sandwich to a large hooker (Although I don't even want to KNOW the payment for that one). What you do is first you create a person who gives the mission. You can create someone who is a mafia member, an anonymous payphone type person, or just your average GTA Mission Giver. Then you choose which GTA 4 Protagonist you would like to give the mission to, at the moment Johnny or Niko, but once TBOGT comes out Luis as well.
After both of those things you write up a telephone chat or a scenario where the protagonist meets the mission giver, the mission giver explains the mission* and offers a payout**. Then you list the objectives and voila, you have a custom mission!
If anyone is interested let me know and I'll create one just to start off. If not, well, throw tomato's at me and I'll slink offstage. Of course if you have your own custom missions feel free to post some.
*Make sure the mission is actually doable and won't take forever (Don't describe someone in immense detail with an immense amount of factors IE SHE MUST BE WEARING A PURPLE COAT WITH A BLACK MAN IN A RED HAT NEXT TO HER. Its never fun to search for hours for something you don't even know is there or not)
**The payout is fictional, unless the payout is a hooker or something o.o, get creative heh.

Cool idea. I did some of these for San Andreas.
Massacre, you make me look like a rational, moral, kind person.
Massacre - What you've just posted is sick and disturbing...
When Massacre is around, everything is violated... Whether it likes it or not.
Whenever I think of "human resources" Massacre immediately springs to mind.

Alright, here is going to be an example mission-giver encounter.
Employer: U.L. Paper - Different Man, Different Office. Middle Aged, brown hair, suit, and brown eyes. American accent.
Protagonist: Johnny Kleibitz
Employer Meeting:
Johnny's Phone Rings -
? - "Hey, nice murder back there! Also great carjacking, bet it made you feel like a man huh?"
JK - "I don't have a goddamned idea what you're talking about, buddy. I don't have time for prank calls."
? - "Oh feel free to hang up. You'll only be hurting yourself when the charges stick and you end up in the slammer next to Big Benny."
JK - "Fuck. You"
He attempts to hang up but the phone simply goes to speaker.
? - "Nice trick, huh? Do me a favor sweetheart, you talk to this stubborn biker fuck, I don't have time to save a prick and a meth whore who won't show me an ounce of respect."
The phone reverts back.
Ashley Butler - "H-hey johnny.. I know you said not to call.. and I--"
JK - "What the fuck did you drag me into this time?"
Ashley Butler - "It's not my fault Johnny, I was tryi- I am trying to get straight it's just, its hard. Now this government agent guy had some of his guys get me and he's threatening to throw us both in jail."
JK - "They kidnapped you?"
AB - "No, no, they just threatened and I thought I could do this without getting you involved.. but I can't do this kind of thing, Johnny. It's your kind of thing."
JK - "Ahh.. fuck. Fine, I'll do this."
AB - "I'm sorry, Johnny."
JK - "I understand, just give the phone to the smug fuck so we can get this over with."
? - "Watch what you say, I can either work in your favor, or work against you Johnny-boy. I'm sure we both want good terms between us. You do yourself a favor and meet me at the United Liberty Paper building, floor ten, Office 201. And don't try anything, your in deep enough and killing me or any of my associates won't help you against a felony, understood?"
JK - "I understand, but don't expect me to treat you like the queen of fucking england when you're strongarming me."
? - "Attaboy, Johnny, I knew y'had it in you to be civil."

Employer: UL Paper Deus (Thats his nickname from here-on)
Protagonist: Johnny Kleibitz
Ms. Checkov's Early Checkout
Johnny enters the office to see a man sitting at a desk and Ashley sitting in a chair in front of the desk. She looks down in somewhat of a shameful way.
ULD - "Welcome Johnny, ah you two make a good couple you know that? Lowlife felon and a junkie, match made in heaven. Haha! Wait, don't tell me, relationship problems? Oh thats a real shocker, but this isn't a talk show is it?"
JK - "Get to the point please? I really won't be enjoying my time as deadbeat government slave, and I'd like to make sure I spend as little time as possible being one"
ULD - "Oh yeah, you'd rather be a deadbeat slave to a drug dealer or something, yeah real productive. Anyway, I'll get down to the barebones. We have someone in this country who happened to witness something we didn't want them to witness. They took a photo of it, and we really do not want it circulating to the internet."
JK - "What did they witness?"
ULD - "Need to know basis, and you don't need to know. All you need to know is that she is completely oblivious to the importance of the photo she has. Once she goes back to Romania or West Bumblefuckistan, the customs are going to have a field day."
JK - "So if I get this correctly, you want me to kill the bitch, then destroy her camera."
ULD - "You know Johnny, it's precisely that mentality that has you in this position to begin with. If Ms. Checkov simply fell victim to muggers in the crime-ridden Hove Beach area she is obliviously sight-seeing in, and they happened to steal her high end camera.. well wouldn't that be unfortunate?"
JK - "Unfortunate for her, but fortunate for the United States Government."
ULD - "You think I work for the government? You really do have your head up your ass don't you? Alright I'll send a picture to your phone, when you get the camera I want you to bring it here, pronto. Don't catch any police attention because I'm not tarnishing my reputation trying to bail out your kind."
JK - "Can you let Ashley go now? She has nothing to do with this."
ULD - "She could have left from the beginning, but she would face a plethora of drug charges if she did. Plus, I was just about to have a discussion with her about few of her friends, wouldn't you like to talk about that Ashley?"
AB - "Wh.. whatever will get me out of this mess.."
ULD - "Alright Johnny, go do some community service."
-Go to Hove Beach with a Bat or Fists.
-Locate a female sightseer with a camera, this will be Ms. Checkov.
-Mug her, and steal not only her camera but her money to corroborate the claim of a mugging.
-Bring camera directly to UL Paper Building.
Do NOT kill Ms. Checkov
Do not drop the camera in the water or on the street. ULD needs to analyze it. (I'm not sure if you can actually bring the camera into a car, if not just pretend you brought it into the car and have it on you)
Payout: You get to be free on the streets another day. And you have the joy of working for a mysterious organization. Enjoy.
Capitol Punishment
Johnny enters the office, the same man is sitting at his desk, laughing and on the phone. Johnny takes a seat and waits.
ULD - "Haha! Yeah yeah.. Batons? What the fuck can a baton do to a guy who killed people with his bare hands?... Those flimsy second hand assault rifles they give you jam up every two seconds Jimmy tells me... Look, I'll fix this, don't you worry Warden, I've got a guy right here who can.. I mean will fix this."
He hangs up.
ULD - "Johnny boy, what are your feelings on Capitol Punishment?
JK - "What? Well, I think the punishment should match the crime."
ULD - "What about your punishment for your crimes?"
JK - "I didn't say the 'criminal' couldn't resist. I'm just saying one day we are all going to reap what we sow. Including you."
He claps while laughing sarcastically.
ULD - "Oh that is rich, a morality lesson from a murderer. Beautiful. Alright, I think I'm going to let you off of the hook johnny. I just got one more little task for you."
Johnny crosses his arms and sighs.
JK - "What is it?"
ULD - "I got some friends at Alderney State Penitentiary and they have been trying to petition the government for some funding. It seems they are getting the horse's ass when it comes to weaponry and you know the types that are in there. In fact, you are the type to be in there. And you know if some futz has a gun that jams, you can take advantage. So my close, personal friend the warden realizes the only way to really get funding is for there to be an incident.
Your little escapade only got them stronger walls, which honestly is jack-shit to the determined jail-break artist. What we want is casualties."
JK - "So you expect me to waltz into Alderney State, with a machine gun and just start gunning people down.. and this is supposed to help me get out of the charges I have."
ULD - "Always the smart ass aren't you Johnny. I don't want any of those cops killed do you hear me? The police are going to lock a few of the death row prisoners out in the yard and rec area. Don't make this hard on yourself and take the driving route, just fly a chopper in, shoot a couple of inmates, like maybe four or five.. scratch that, make it six. Then fly away, how hard can it be?"
JK - "You're just trying to get me killed. Will you make sure the cops don't fire at me?"
ULD - "Johnny, if I could walk in, shoot a few inmates and then leave without police shooting me, I wouldn't be having you do it, would I?"
JK - "I'm not making any promises. I'll try to lay out who I can but I'm not going to get myself killed."
ULD - "All you need to be concerned about is the funding. If the incident causes them to get funding for better weaponry than I don't give a hell whether you gave the inmates a lapdance to get it. Speaking of, I have a hooker who is ratting on her pimp on the other line, why don't you go make yourself useful and get started."
ULD picks the phone up.
JK - "Where is the helicopter?"
ULD - "One second Ms. Del Rio Go fucking find one, if you can jack a car you can jack a helicopter, I'm not your mother, I don't need to help you through everything."
Johnny leaves the office, visibly pissed.
-Acquire kevlar vest and weaponry. Rocketlauncher or assault rifle is reccomended.
-Acquire a helicopter (try the helitour area)
-Fly into Alderney State Penitentiary.
-Kill as many prisoners as possible. Minimum is two.
-Leave Alderney State Penitentiary alive and lose wanted level.
-Wait for a call.
Do not kill any police officers.
Kill a minimum of two inmates.
You may bring a friend if it helps (IE Clay or Terry) Any officers they kill won't count because I know this is hard.
Once completed for the "call" please PM me that you completed the mission.

Employer: Flashy Kati
Protagonist:Niko Bellic
Employer Meeting:
The doorman presses the intercom and his voice resounds through Niko's high-rise apartment.
Doorman - "Mr. Bellic, you have a visitor."
He adjusts his sleeve and then makes his way to the intercom.
NB - "I'm not expecting anyone, who is it?"
Doorman - "Her business card says 'Flashy Kati' but she tells me her name is Kati Kali. She is a nightclub owner from Alderney, according to the card."
Niko checks his watch and rubs his forehead before saying.
NB - "Alright let her up."
Doorman - "What about her body guards?"
In the background you hear "I don't go nowhere without me body guards, seen?"
NB - "Just let them up."
Niko takes his pistol off of the nearby nightstand and conceals it in his pants when the elevator makes a Ping! sound.
When he walks into the room, the elevator door opens revealing a 30-something year old black woman with turquoise retro hoop earrings, large sunglasses which have turquoise frames, a small afro set back by a blue headband, and a blue sweater/dress with tuquoise circles all over it, and finally turquoise heels. Accompanied by two black men with bald heads over six feet tall and in sharp black suits.
Niko thought to himself "Did she just step out of the seventies?"
FK - "Mista Beyleek is it? Nice t'meetcha boy, m'name's Flashy Kati. Y'hear th'name before?"
NB - "I'm sorry I don't go to many nightclubs.. it isn't my ehh scene, you know?"
FK - "Even if you did th'only name you would know round 'ere is dat Gay Tony. I'm from Alderney and I own some of the hottest spots around there."
She then took a seat on the couch, removed her glasses to reveal dark brown eyes, and crossed her legs while lighting her cigarette in a turquoise cigarette-holder.
NB - "I don't mean to be rude but.. who gave you my information?"
FK - "Oh I 'eard bout you 'ere an' there. But y'know Jacob ya? Him an' I is tight. Sometimes he uses my club to sell off 'is product you know?"
NB - "Any friend of Jacob is good enough for me."
Fk - "Look, I'm real sorry bout what went down, nonna d'shit that 'appen t'you should ever 'appen t'anyone. Y'din't deserve that."
NB - "Thank you but, part of me believes I did deserve it."
Fk - "I said noone deserves dat kind of shit on they heart. I done bad things but it don't mean I deserve the fury of Jah comin down on me."
NB - "I suppose you are right. Everyone has done bad things in their life.. but it doesn't mean they deserve the full retribution."
FK - "Alright I just wanted t'meet y'in person y'know? I may have some jobs f'you in d'future, seen? An if you ever in Alderney, stop by me main spot 'Fan Bang'"
NB - "That sounds familiar, I just don't know where I heard it."
FK - "Well d'you got friends in d'alderney? Thats probably where y'heard it. Its a real hot spot, seen?"
Her phone rings and she picks it up "Brutaldub got d'fever? I don'goddamn care if he's wretchin' blood I need a goddamn DJ. He best get 'is ass t'work 'fore night." She puts it to her chest and says to Niko
FK - "Nice meetin y'Neeko. I'm gonna take care'a some business, Kwaheri"
NB - "Nice to meet you as well, Kati.
Meet Flashy Kati

Employer: Flashy Kati
Protagonist: Niko Bellic
Give me Liberty...
Niko enters Fan Bang which happens to be right across from his Alderney Apartment. Inside its foggy, and a red light flashes across the crowd.
He approaches the bar and the young female bartender and trying to speak above the loud music (Flashing Lights - Kanye West).
NB - "I'm here to speak to Kati!"
He slides her business card to the woman and she replies
Bartender - "Flashy's in her office.. go on in."
She points beside the bar to a door that has a sign saying Management on it.
He enters the lush and very blue-looking office to see Kati on the phone. She points him to a seat while she is talking and he takes a seat.
FK - "Look girl, I'm offrin you some good green, this is double what that is worth. Y'gottae work wit me girlie....Fuck me? Do you know who I am?... I want that club, girlie an' I'm gettin it...Over your dead body? Think I ain't got d'gall for that? Bitch hang up on me? On me! Oh no no.. Neyko m'boy y'up for some work?"
NB - "It depends on the payout, but yes"
FK - "Flashy treat you real good if you do real good, seen?"
NB - "I understand. What is the job?"
FK - "Alderney is my territory, but it don't make the green like I want. Now Liberty City, just one good club in there could load me up. Make me got diamonds all over me neck and double the amount of clubs I got 'ere in Alderney. Just one."
NB - "You have your eye on a club?"
FK - "Yah but this rasclot bitch got hold of it an' she ain't lettin it go fah no price. An' I offered her TWO of me goddamned clubs over 'ere! That's a good bittae green, sight? If she would 'ave left it at that an been polite an ting, I woulda let this go, but I got respect to hold down. Now she went said to me "Fuck you" an' 'ang up an ting. That shit just don't blow over with me, boy. Anyone talk to me like that any feel th'fury of Flashy."
NB - "And you want me to help bring down the fury?"
FK - "Sharp one Neyko, sharp one. But don't kill the rasclot, she can't sign over a deed if she's dead. We gon' scare th'life out of her. Start small, an' if she don't heed, we work our ways up."
NB - "Sounds reasonable."
FK - "Arraight so this tramp think she livin' the high life, rollin in her favorite white limousine, think she got all respect and ting from erryone. Really th'bitch is dead broke an' lives in the Vespucci Circus, hah! Anyway, that Limo is what makes her feel like she got somethin' good in life. Now I want you t'get onnae dem big fuckin trucks, or somethin' wif a lottae crushin power, seen? Now I want you to take that over 'round th'Supastar Cafe an' keep a slick eye out for d'bitches White Limo. She only rides th'limo at night so I want you to find it in the day time, when she's not in it. Then just hit the gas and crush that shit! Make sure it all bang up an ting! Make it like a pancake, neyko. Then try an drive dat piece of shit over to Club Liberty, an park it outside."
NB - "How am I going to drive it if I flatten it like pancake?"
FK - "Look Neyko, I don't know th'specifics, I just know I want d'bitches limo crush an ting outside 'er club so she can feel my fury. Seen? Be creative, boy."
NB - "Alright Flashy, I'll do my best."
FK - "Remember boy, the better you treat Flashy, the better payout you get."
She smiles and begins to get out turquoise nail polish as Niko leaves.
*First Way*
-Acquire a huge truck, hummer, or vehicle. SUV's work, minivans are a no.
-Drive to the Superstar Cafe in the Daylight.
-Find and destroy a White Limo, do not explode it.
-Park it outside of Club Liberty
-Call Flashy Kati. (PM me that its completed)
*Second Way*
-Go to Superstar Cafe in the Daylight.
-Find a White Limo, carjack it.
-Park it near Club Liberty.
-Acquire a huge truck, hummer, or vehicle. SUV's work, minivans are a no.
-Destroy the Limo outside of the club and leave it there.
-Call Flashy Kati. (PM me that its completed.)
Try not to kill the driver, if he dies its money off of the payout.
You must crush the Limousine with a heavy car.
If its too hard to find a white limousine by Superstar Cafe, you are allowed to scour the EAST side of Algonquin for one. Its normally by perseus or even sometimes at the majestic.
The Limousine must end up in front of Club Liberty.
Payout: 4000 dollars. Take away 1000 dollars if the Driver or passengers of the limo are killed. (The reason why is in Kati's call)

I am sure I am not alone in thinking, where did 2012 go? It doesn't seem that long since the last countdown to New Year, and I still haven't put away my summer shorts, the SPF 50+ is still resting, hopefully, on my dresser. But here we are, on the 31st December 2012, looking ahead to another year. And let us all hope that thirteen is not unlucky for some.
I must admit, I am not a big fan of New Year's Eve – it is a celebration that seems to fall a little flat. After the clock countdown, what are we all supposed to do? Usually, at a party, everyone keeps drinking and dancing until too tired or drunk to mind the inevitable cold hours waiting for public transport to arrive. Then New Years Day can be spent, in bed, nursing a hangover, disappointed that resolutions have already… Read more

It's St. Patrick's Day! And you need to run out and buy one of these items so that maybe, tonight, a leprechaun will fall in love with you and give you beer and money. In conclusion, I'm not sure why short, rich men don't capitalize off of this holiday more. Maybe it's because it's not actually about forcing leprechauns to fall in love with you? Maybe it's about being Irish? Maybe? Here are some pretty things that are green: .

|Garage organization 101: utilize the space for more than just parking the car
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Garages are coveted by homeowners across the country, offering a space to park a car and protect it from the elements. But many people do not park a car in their garage, only to find the garage has become a home to clutter.
Garages tend to become the official catch-all of a home. When an item cannot be crammed into a hiding space elsewhere, it often ends up dumped into the garage, where it joins the long list of other abandoned items. It can be easy to let garages become a wasteland because everything put inside a garage is behind a closed door. That mess can quickly build up, and reclaiming the garage requires energy, time, organization and a plan.
Organizing a garage will take some time. An entire weekend or two consecutive days may be necessary depending on the level of disarray. Taking everything out of the garage and going through the sorting process may take the most time.
When sorting, separate any broken items, which can immediately be put at the curb for trash pickup. Examine things that have not been used in some time. If it hasn't been missed, there's a good chance that the item can be discarded or donated. Create separate piles for donations and trash.

Okay, long story short. I am working on a big project and because I am a f***ing maniac I want to do the whole thing by the book with tones of information, even if it is mainly and only for me. What can I say, I l-o-v-e wasting my time with stuff like that.
First maybe I should say that I don't have a precise idea about my world, for I will build it in progress based on some main points that I have in mind. So, to be able to go on with the other stuff in detail like climate and races and kingdom boundaries and history, I had to start from step one and make a world map. But who am I fooling. I am a total noob, so instead of trying some random techniques on my own, I decided to follow Tear's wonderful Saderan tutorial even though I am new with photoshop. At first I decided to do a random map as a test to see if I could make it with such a style so I didn't really care about these technical stuff and did/placed everything by complete randomness. But when I was almost done I ended up liking the form of my landmasses so I made the next big decision which was to go on with that map by redoing the most of it.
I deleted the layers with my vegetation and ocean elevation (which I find maybe the nastiest and hardest part of the tutorial) but what mainly made me redo most of my map and post this thread was my mountains placement. The problem is that I read tons of information about how are they created in nature and yet even now I find myself unable to decide where exactly should I place them, what should be their range or high. And mainly how to make them fit in the scale (very Earth-like, 1 mile = 15,625 pixels) The size of the map isn't that big intentionally, but once I start mapping the main regions of my world I will change that. Maybe i can even change the style with something else. There are a lot of wonderful inspiring maps here Whatever, first things first.
I would like something like an advice maybe on that how should I proceed? I will post two shots of the map – one with placed mountains (and flowing main rivers which were placed as i already said randomly so excuse me if i placed an overflowing one in a place that is supposed to be very dry ) and one with clear land masses, so that you could give me both critique and advice

Detailed policies and procedures are contained in the Capstone College of Nursing student handbook, which is on the Capstone College of Nursing Web site (nursing.ua.edu). Students are notified of any policy changes. It is the student's responsibility to abide by the most recently published or posted policies and procedures. An official, current copy of the handbook is available in the office of the associate dean for academic programs.
Application forms for promotion to the upper division may be obtained from the College Web site (nursing.ua.edu). It is the student's responsibility to secure an application and to submit it by the deadline. Applicants for the upper division must have been admitted to The University of Alabama prior to submitting an application for upper division.
- To progress to the professional component of the nursing curriculum, a student must possess a functional level of capability to perform the duties required of a professional nurse. These abilities include, but are not limited to, (a) adequate vision such as that required to observe changes in physical conditions, to read small print on labels and laboratory reports, and to discern subtle changes in color; (b) adequate hearing such as that required to distinguish muted sounds through a stethoscope; (c) fine motor skills and manual dexterity such as those required to handle small, delicate equipment; (d) strength such as that required to turn and assist with lifting adults and to lift and carry children; (e) the mobility to respond quickly to emergency situations; (f) the ability to engage in two-way conversation and interact effectively with others orally and in writing; (g) the ability to detect odors; and (h) the ability to consistently and dependably engage in critical thinking to make safe and ethical clinical judgments.The faculty of the Capstone College of Nursing has identified the skills and professional behaviors that are essential to pursue a course of study to be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination–RN and to practice as a professional nurse. These skills include, but are not limited to, the skills presented in Essentials of College and University Education for Professional Nursing, a publication of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. If these skills and professional behaviors cannot be developed by the student, either unassisted or with the dependable use of assistive devices, the faculty reserves the right to disenroll the student from clinical courses. A copy of Essentials of College and University Education for Professional Nursing is available upon request from the College's Office of Academic Programs.
- Promotion to the upper division requires successful completion of the lower-division courses designated on the CCN BSN program of studies. Students may apply and be considered for promotion to the upper division during the final lower division semester if they will have completed all courses prior to the semester for which application to the upper division is made. In such instances, promotion to the upper division may be granted conditionally, pending successful completion of all courses required for promotion. Promotion to the upper division may be withdrawn if the level of academic performance is significantly lower in those courses completed after conditional promotion.
- Only those applicants whose grade point averages are at least 2.5 for the required courses in the lower division and whose grade point averages are at least 2.0 for the required science courses are eligible to apply for promotion. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee promotion to the upper division of the nursing curriculum.
- Spaces in the upper division are limited. When the number of students seeking promotion to the upper division exceeds the number of spaces available, the most qualified applicants will be promoted. Those applicants who present the strongest academic records and who show the most promise for success in the upper division will be promoted. Native UA students (those who have completed more than 32 hours at UA) will be given preference for promotion over transfer students.
- Transfer students are defined as those students who have completed less than 32 hours of the required lower-division coursework at The University of Alabama. A transfer student may be accepted into the upper division when the academic record, taken as a whole, presents evidence of outstanding academic performance and a strong likelihood of success in the upper division.
- The number of students promoted each semester is dependent upon available resources. Promotion to upper division is competitive.
- Applications and deadlines for promotion to the upper division may be obtained online at nursing.ua.edu.
Upon progression to the upper division, permission to depart from the clinical sequence must be obtained from the director of undergraduate programs. Because of the limitations in clinical course spaces, departure from the sequence for any reason may significantly lengthen the time for program completion.
Transfer from a BSN Nursing Program
Students requesting a transfer to the upper division of the nursing program from another BSN program must follow the promotion policies above. Additional criteria for consideration for admission of a student who has attended another BSN program include the following:
(2) a minimum of a 2.5 overall GPA
(3) a minimum of a 2.5 GPA on nursing courses completed
(4) a minimum of a 2.0 GPA on all science courses completed
Withdrawal from the First Clinical Nursing Course
Any student who withdraws from or does not successfully complete the first clinical nursing course in the upper division must contact the director of the undergraduate nursing program to be considered for placement in the course the next semester. The student will be placed in the course on a space-available basis only. Before considering placement of any students who have not succeeded in the course, preference for spaces will be given to those applicants who meet all promotion criteria and who have not previously been promoted. If space becomes available for a student's reassignment to the course, a second unsuccessful attempt by that student in any other clinical course will result in academic suspension from the Capstone College of Nursing.
Return to the Undergraduate Nursing Program after a Nonacademic Leave of Absence
Following a nonacademic leave of absence (e.g., military, medical, or other) from the Capstone College of Nursing for six or more months, a student's academic record and time elapsed since completing clinical nursing courses will be reviewed by the director of the undergraduate program to facilitate the student's readiness to re-enter the program.
Individualized plans will be negotiated with the student to facilitate a smooth transition into the program and may include knowledge-refresher activities, either informal or formalized independent study.
Components of the refresher plan may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(2) review of health-assessment materials such as videotapes
(3) review of appropriate charting and documentation methods
(4) practice with medication administration such as PO, IM, and IV
(5) practice with skills such as foley catheter insertion, NG tubes, suctioning, sterile dressing changes, injections, and IV insertion
(6) review of content from an NCLEX Review book of content areas previously completed
This option is offered to facilitate the student's successful re-entry into the BSN program. The student assumes responsibility for his or her learning and is encouraged to seek needed assistance.

Yes, I believe so. The sprocket/drum may be different between the C5/B5/G5, maybe not, but I'm pretty sure all the bearings are the same. Buying them locally gives you an advantage here.

But that might be changing. Training departments are starting to take a high-profile role at many pharma, biotech, and medical device organizations.
The Society of Pharmaceutical and Biotech Trainers (SPBT) and Health Strategies Group worked together to create a 2007 benchmark study of 47 companies' learning-development practices. The participants represent more than 1,600 full-time employees in training, 83,000 salespeople, and more than $200 billion in 2006 US revenues (see "Methodology of the Study,"). The organizations' joint venture uncovered the training trends found throughout the industry.Trend 1: More Development for More People
Sales training continues to be the bread and butter for many pharma and biotech learning and development (L&D) departments. Yet in recent years, upper management has halted the arms race in the field. Training departments are no longer churning out class after class of young sales recruits. Instead, heads of training are being asked to develop programs that make representatives better businesspeople, armed with negotiation skills and financial knowledge.
In concert with this trend, training departments have developed more formalized development programs for their senior sales management staff and regional and district managers. Marketing training, too, has become an area of focus. In 2005, only 14 percent of organizations offered training for brand managers. Today, 43 percent provide that training—with another 7 percent planning to add this offering in the next year. Genentech's commercial training and development organization—which comprises the marketing and sales groups—recently built a targeted curriculum for managers, marketers, account managers, and thought leader liaisons. One area of focus is compliance training. Genentech trainers worked with their company's healthcare-compliance office to develop comprehensive course content for training within the commercial organization. "Training is about being able to translate strategy into execution through skills development," says Carol Wells, senior director, commercial training and development, at Genentech. "Outside of the clinical and sales training that is typically provided by companies, Genentech also provides the support for several functional skills—including compliance, management development, selling and account excellence, marketing, and thought leader liaison training—which we believe will enhance the success of all our clinical specialists."

8/22: I am excited about working with everyone in the class and the opportunity to collaborate with different disciplines.
8/24: It was a great opportunity to hear Julia Jones speak today. Her experience and insight into hospital design exposed me to many design elements I would like to further research and incorporate into our project. I am especially interested in "room messaging" and the impact of information on the patient/family experience, their outcome, and their level of understanding/education. Other key take-aways from her presentation are; the integration of efficiency, philanthropy, and patient focus into design, and how consideration of payer/service mix is an essential criterion for successful design.

|Military equips Barth for life of public service
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
"Everything I know today came from the military," said Terry Barth, who served two tours in Vietnam, had a 20-year career in the Marines and is now active with the local veterans' organizations and club.
"I wouldn't trade my military experience for anything," Barth added.
He acknowledges that he grew up while in the military. He learned lessons and got an education.
Barth said he believes every single kid in America should spend two to three years in active duty in order to grow up and to appreciate the freedom in America.
Barth was a technician—a very good one, at that. During his first Nam tour in 1965-66, his job was to keep the planes flying. He has a great deal of respect for those who saw and are seeing front-line duty, as that was not part of his responsibility.
As Veterans Day nears, the country is reminded that it's a time to honor all veterans and current military personnel, no matter what their specific contribution to the U.S. military.
Barth was a young 18-year-old when he entered basic training in 1962
Barth admits he basically had never been off the farm when he graduated from high school in Holyoke in 1962 and entered the U.S. Marines.
He laughs when he recalls his recruiting officer coming out the day after his senior prom and he was hanging out in Lee Struckmeyer's basement.
The recruiter went out to Barth's home, where the family dog tore his britches. Barth said he did feel sorry for the guy. He signed up for the 120-day delay program with an aviation guarantee contract.
Barth ended up in the electronics field. After boot camp and infantry, he took 36 weeks of electronics training, including 20 weeks of avionics training in Memphis, Tenn., and 16 weeks of aviation electrician training in Jacksonville, Fla.
As a private in the Marine Corps at Jacksonville, Barth said he was living on beans and hambone, making $95 a month.
He then took a 16-week aviation electrician class, where he came out first in the class. He made his private first class stripes and earned lance corporal rank meritoriously as he came out of school.
Assigned to VMFA-115, a fighter attack squadron, from June of 1964 to June of 1965, Barth and crew received intensive training to go to Vietnam.
At that time, Barth said they flew their planes to Atsugi, Japan. They closed down Atsugi, then went to Iwakuni, Japan, before going into Da Nang, Vietnam, in October of 1965. The Marines shared an air base with the Air Force in Da Nang.
F4 Phantoms flew regular drills for three months until real combat started in January of 1966, according to Barth.
As a technician, Barth just kept the planes flying in Vietnam. He said he carried a rifle for 13 months but wasn't allowed to have ammunition on his body.
Barth said he learned real fast that the planes were where it was safe. Off base, kids would put hand grenades on their trucks.
Barth was plenty satisfied to keep the planes flying. He credits his mechanical inclinations to his heritage of growing up on the farm.
In July of 1966, Barth's squadron returned to the states and he was assigned to a station operation and engineer squadron in Cherry Point, N.C.
His purpose there was to keep the World War II planes and search and air rescue helicopters running.
From 1967-68, Barth was a tactical data systems computer technician. He trained at the Marine Corps training base in Twentynine Palms, Calif., and was then assigned to the Marine Corps logistics base in Albany, Ga.
He said they supported eye-in-the-sky technology to give generals a picture of control aircraft in combat situations.
From 1970-71, Barth was senior maintenance manager for tactical data systems in New River, N.C. He had made E-7 gunnery sergeant rank by then.
Barth is quick to admit he wasn't a very good student in high school, but he applied himself in college and graduated cum laude from Pensacola Junior College in Pensacola, Fla., where he attended from 1971-73.
He earned an associate degree in electrical and electronic engineering technology.
In 1973, Barth took an instructional course in San Diego, Calif., then was assigned to Twentynine Palms as a senior instructor for tactical data system computer technician courses for a year.
At that point, he was one of 200 accepted for limited duty office, based on his technical skills. Because they were temporary limited duty, they could be reverted back to enlisted status at any time.
As a result, he had to continue to apply for all enlisted promotions. So by the end of his service in 1982, Barth had attained E-8 or master sergeant rank and warrant officer ranks CWO1 and CWO2.
He was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1974.
As an electronics maintenance officer from 1974-75, Barth was with the 9th communication battalion in Camp Hansen, Okinawa.
Terry Barth is pictured at the Vets Club, where he volunteers his services as manager in order to preserve profits for the community and building upkeep.
During that time, he said, they cleaned out Saigon, and he was very successful in commandeering vessels to evacuate political refugees from Saigon.
The refugees were loaded onto cargo vessels and taken to an island off Thailand where they were staged for disbursements to other countries.
As part of the Pentagon from 1975-79, Barth was the key project officer in the life-cycle planning, budgeting and procurement of mobile electric power, tactical air conditioners and associated equipment for the entire Marine Corps.
He said he was hand-picked to go to Washington, D.C., for the position and was stationed in Rosslyn, Va.
He was responsible for reviewing and analyzing technical hardware requirements and software requirements and proposals. He generated, organized and supervised performance of all integrated logistics support requirements and represented the Marine Corps on the Department of Defense configuration control board for mobile electric power.
Next up for Barth in his military path was a three-year stint as director of the information systems department at the Marine Corps base in Twentynine Palms.
He was assigned to interface with Dr. Evans, who was known as the father of mastery learning.
Barth was responsible for all aspects from planning to implementation of software, courseware and hardware to support a 260-terminal computer-aided/computer-managed interactive instruction system.
The system was to train and manage a daily student load of 1,200 entry-level students, 400 secondary-level students and 500 instructors and administration personnel.
He explained that their purpose was to develop a system, using computer power, to test the recruits designated for their squadron to determine the best media that they might learn by before they arrived.
They worked on the philosophy that everyone learns 100 percent of the material and can't go on until they pass the test at 100 percent.
Barth said they laid about 500 miles of cable, ran video on Sony TVs and ran audio wires back and forth—all with equipment that would be considered highly antiquated today.
He said they put in 500 terminals and labs, while teaching classes along the way.
It was at that point, in 1982, that Barth completed his active duty with the Marine Corps, retiring as a captain with 20 years of experience.
Service continues in Holyoke
For the next eight years after his retirement from active duty, Barth served as senior program manager for Magnetek Defense Systems.
He used the knowledge and experience from his Marines service to move into the position where he was responsible for a logistics support department to support government contract requirements.
From 1990-2002, he and his wife Vernette ran their own retail sales and service company, B and B Sewing and Vacuum Center, in Lake Elsinore, Calif.
A return to his hometown of Holyoke in 2002 found Barth taking a year's sabbatical before serving as materials management department manager at Melissa Memorial Hospital from 2003-10.
With public service as his motive, Barth became involved in the veterans' posts in Holyoke when he returned.
He has served as commander of VFW Post #6482 for 10 years, has been chairman of the board for Holyoke Vets Club, Inc. for seven years and this past year has taken over as commander of American Legion Post #90.
He said it is definitely not the best scenario for him to be the commander and chairman of all, but that's the way it has worked out.
Two years ago, Barth took over the role of running the Vets Club on a volunteer basis in order to preserve funds for Holyoke Vets Club, Inc. He acknowledges that it's not popular with everyone, but the profits for the organization make it worthwhile.
Barth said he works about 100 hours a week, and his wife puts in about 40.
Citing that a paid manager would eat up all profit, Barth is pleased with the community projects and building updates that can be accomplished with the Vets Club profits.
Public service is what it's about, and Barth volunteers his time so the local programs can continue.

Cera Again Seeking Ohio Hires for Oil, Gas Industries
March 2, 2013
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Rep....
"uneducated workforce" Thanks.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"But we fall all over ourselves in other parts of state when an IT (information technology) center or distribution center wants to come in. We've provided millions and millions of dollars for these companies in income tax and property tax abatements . . ."
Sorry Cera, you miss the point. Gas and Oil are precious commodities and OV is LUCKY to have them. As such, companies HAVE to come to where the resources are.If they don't like it, go to FL or SC and try to drill!
However, a white collar IT operation can locate ANYWHERE, and frankly with the crappy weather and uneducated workforce, the OV is the LAST place they would locate, so you have to BUY those outfits with "bribes" tax credits, interest free loans, etc. etc.
Get it???

Hi. does the Aqualung Air Source 3 w/QD fit on an Aeris ReefRider BCD? I understand Id need an adapter for the QD to fit on my current MiFlex LP inflator hose, but Im wondering about the fit onto the BCD bladder... THX! Gabe
Hello Gabe, Thank you for your inquiry! The Aqua Lung Airsource QD (Quick Disconnect) Scuba Octo can only be used with the AquaLung/SeaQuest style of BCD's. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-33/035102/Aqua-Lung-Airsource-QD-Quick-Disconnect-Scuba-Octo.html For your Aries BCD, you have the option of the Aeris Air Link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-33/035019/Aeris-Air-Link.html the Oceanic Air XS II: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-33/004571/Oceanic-Air-XS-II.html or the Atomic SS1 Scuba Octo: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-33/035069/Atomic-SS1-Scuba-Octo.html If you would like to place an order or have questions about our products, please contact one of our certified Dive Instructors at SCUBA.com by calling 800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300 or e-mail us at: email@example.com
I have a new AquaLung Dimension i3 and Mikron regulator with no alternate air source yet. Can I use the Airsource 3 with the i3...and does it make sense, rather than buy a separate alternate?
Hello Mark, since your power inflator is build into the bcd in the bottom left side you would not be able to use this as a alt air source. You would not be able to connect this to your BCD since there is no connection at the top left of that BCD. You would need to go with a Octo on your right side.
The Airsource 3 combines a high-performance second stage with a power inflator. By eliminating the need for a traditional octopus, the diver can streamline his entire system. In addition, unlike a traditional octopus that can drag in the sand or damage coral, you'll take comfort knowing that the Airsource 3 is right in front of you ready to deliver life saving air in a moment's notice.
Several new features have been added to this latest version of Airsource to make it the most desirable of all breathable inflators.
The second stage valve is pneumatically balanced resulting in unparalleled performance and consistent breathing from start of dive to end. Ideal for use with over-balanced first stages
Redesigned 'Trim Grip' in the middle of the corrugated hose allows diver to dump air from BC during ascent without removing the Airsource from the mouth
Using a clever bayonet mount, the Airsource quickly and easily separates from the BC at the 'Trim Grip'. This allows the Airsource to remain with the diver's complete regulator for packing and traveling
Rather than use a traditional quick disconnect fitting, the Airsource is connected via a hose like your primary second stage. This allows better flow and better performance. It also prevents particulate matter and moisture from entering the second stage
A specialized cut-off valve allows the diver to quickly and easily shut off air to the unit should there ever be a malfunction
Ergonomic design optimizes button placement for ease of use
Soft-touch purge cover is located on the bottom so it won't be inadvertently activated in strong currents
Low-profile rapid-exhaust valve is activated by pulling on the 'Trim Grip' or the lower unit
Corrugated hose has clips and recessed areas to accommodate the lp hose
Easier to service than it's predecessor
Available for shipment to U.S. zip codes only

Now, first a little background, just in case there is anyone who does not know what the itSMF is. The letters stand for IT Service Management Forum – and that sums it up quite well: a place for those interested in ITSM to talk, learn, teach, compare and discuss. Part of that communication naturally involves publication – and our group focuses on that – from reviewing others' books through translation and dissemination to encouraging authoring and publishing books. Crucial to its attitudes and success, itSMF is a non-profit organisation, owned by its members.
OK, as you may imagine it is – as well as serious working meeting – a chance to catch up with friends and colleagues of the ITSM global village. And the active ITSM community really is like a village, except that it spread across some 50 countries – we have all the relationships that you would expect: friends, enemies and lots in between.
All of us have our day jobs, many of us
working for cut-throat competitors but that all gets set aside and we settle
back into our 'all in this together' mode. One of things that I came back from
That makes the non-profit member owned organisations a lot like government – and like governments today we are strapped for cash. These are hard times and no-one has much in the way of spare money. But we still strive to fight against what would be a sensible approach for an organisation focused on shareholder value. We still need to deliver what the 'right things'. From our publishing perspective it would be tempting to look only at safe books – rearranging established best practice into easier, shorter or simpler reads. Instead though, everyone at our meeting sees that we need a focus on innovation and stretching our industry.
Of course we need to be financially successful with enough of our projects, and we have work to do on building a firm base to take ourselves – and our industry – forwards. But I am proud that the books we have already managed to publish contain real industry innovations and new perspectives – both on service management as you would expect but also into wider topics such as organisational change.
So, I came back feeling the need to write down how much work people put in – for nothing – last week. I'm not claiming I did that much, but lots of work was put in, and even more commitments made to keep the momentum going and I felt that it was a few day's work I was proud to have been a part of and an effort worth recording here. In some later blogs I might relate more about other aspects of the trip - like using budget airlines and the change in perspective of value that goes with that.
So – please go read about what we have already managed (6 books published, quarterly magazine, whitepaper competition etc.). You can find out about the books are – and read the magazines for free by going to http://www.itsmfi.org/content/publications. If that gets you interested in how you can get your ideas written up and out there then get in touch. My portfolio responsibility is 'Authoring', so I would love to hear from you. We are keen to find new authors, for whitepapers, books or articles – and happy to offer any level of support you might need – from final review through mentoring and even to co-authoring or ghost writing.
By my next blog, I will be back in successful company mode, but it is good to remember that the commercial companies also live in and benefit from the wider community. It is good to see that being recognised through sponsorship and support. IBM sponsored the meeting last year - this time we had support from TSO and BTC. massive thanks to those companies. With more support next year we should have more people and achieve even more.

Big bold illustrations of familiar farm animals are featured in the playful book with cutout holes that allow a partial view of the animal hidden on the next page. The text offers a clue to help the little listener guess who will show up when the page is turned. Based on the original game and always popular game of I Spy With My Little Eye, this is a fun way to introduce toddlers to knowing and naming, color concepts and animal sounds. It includes letter names. For young toddlers we suggest skipping the letter names - use the sound the letter make as a hint or skip the letters altogether for young listeners. That's something they can grow into.

WHEELING - An inspection of the former Clay School in East Wheeling is set for Wednesday as city officials want to deal with concerns about the condition of the building, which spans almost an entire block of 15th Street.
Economic and Community Development Director Nancy Prager said the city's concerns include the condition of the former school's roof, parapet and several broken windows. She noted no raze-or-repair order has been issued for the property at this time.
Located on the northeast corner of 15th and Wood streets, the Clay School was closed in the mid-1990s. Several years ago, city resident Darryl Baynes bought the building in hopes of converting it into a combined recreational facility and science center for area youth, but has been unable to find funding sources to help him realize that dream.

An inspection of the former Clay School, which occupies much of the block at the northeast corner of 15th and Wood streets in East Wheeling, is set for Wednesday, according to city officials.
He previously estimated it would cost about $1.5 million to renovate and open the school's lower levels for community use. According to Baynes, the goals for Wednesday's inspection are twofold - figure out what needs to be done to secure the building within the next six months, and obtain a cost estimate in the event it needs to be torn down.
"I'm realistic. ... If I can't get it done, I can't let it sit forever. I understand that," Baynes said of the 83,000-square foot structure.
He said he's even open to selling the building if someone else has an idea for it, but no one has shown any interest thus far. Baynes said after paying $65,000 for the building, he's invested about $150,000 in it since and doesn't want to see the property go to waste. In the beginning, he also received donations for the effort.
"I've had every window in that building replaced before, and people broke them out," said Baynes. "I do the best I can."
Baynes said city leaders have been very supportive of his desire to contribute to the revitalization of East Wheeling, and he remains optimistic his plans for the Clay School building can be carried out.
"My building is in much better shape than the Orrick building (was) when they did that," said Baynes, referring to the former Wheeling Stamping Building, which the law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe repurposed 10 years ago for its Global Operations Center. "So I know it can be done."
Mayor Andy McKenzie said there are many positive things happening in East Wheeling, all of which "go hand-in-hand," including the Vandalia Heritage Foundation's soon-to-be completed housing units, the planned J.B. Chambers Recreational Park - which will sit directly across the street from Baynes' building - and the conversion of the former Robinson building on 16th Street to a West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources office building.
He added he hopes the Clay School property will be a part of an overall rebirth for the neighborhood.
McKenzie said he would reserve comment on the condition of the Clay School building until after the inspection, but he pointed out even if the structure ultimately is torn down, it doesn't mean Baynes' science center can't eventually become a reality in a new building.
"We're very supportive of Darryl Baynes and his project," he said. "But I don't think the project and the building are necessarily the same issue."
Baynes, a former resident of Philadelphia, runs a nonprofit organization known as Interactive Science Programs, and travels across the country teaching students to have fun with science. He said other countries graduate engineers, mathematicians, chemists and physicists at much higher rates than the United States - and he believes teachers at all levels need to do a better job instilling a passion for math and science in their students at an early age.
Baynes said when a child does develop that passion, it is all too often snuffed out by college and university professors who make doing research a priority over teaching their students.
"That's why I do what I do ... teaching teachers how to make science more understandable and fun for their students," said Baynes.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- A man accused of a murder in D.C. in August was found earlier this month in Georgia.
Twenty-year-old Sean Carter of Northeast Washington was arrested on October 3 in Fulton County, Georgia on a warrant charging him with murder in the shooting death of Bidley Warren. He was detained there pending extradition.
On Monday, Carter was extradited to D.C. He has been charged with first degree murder while armed.
Warren was found with a gunshot wound on the night of August 23 in the 1000 block of Rhode Island Avenue NE. He later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. He was 22 years old.

I think your 'winterized' maps are coming along very nicely.
Ok, here's some WIP. I haven't posted it before because I've been juggling this stuff between computers, but I've finally got there.
The first pictures are drafts of a map I posted in the requests forum. I haven't done any more with it because the guy hasn't got back to me yet to say if it was any good to him.
The first draft looked a bit 'square' and obviously tiled, so I tried to make some of the edges between objects a bit more natural - rounded them off, covered them up with smaller patches and objects, etc.
The next pictures are of a fantasy castle/tower that I'm intending to floorplan out. It's located in the frozen north. Redrobes kindly created some snow patches for me and I've used them to transform a basic castle into a snow-laden one. I'm quite pleased with the results, but I have a naive beginners eye. I'm sure the experts will see a few potential improvements.
I particularly like the way the 'blizzard' overlay works, the way the snow seems to 'soften' the picture, and the way the snow patches, when reduced down and pathed, give a trodden trail effect across the larger snow patches. That was an unexpected bonus.
I still need to get a better effect of snow on the rock the castle is built on. I have some ideas for that, but since my only tools at present are Viewingdale and MS Paint, I'm struggling a bit. There's plenty of time though, I've had this castle in my mind's eye for over twenty years, and never had the skill or software to reproduce it.
I'm going to search around here a bit for info on something one step but no more above Paint. I really don't have time to learn the likes of PS, Gimp or CC3!
I'm also doing a Traveller starmap for my upcoming Pocket Empires campaign. http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...13&postcount=1
This is also early WIP.

RR did a great job on that snow indeed. Smokin.

Very nice snow.
FOr the rocks, they could be quite bare, snow doesn't settle well on vertical surfaces. You could have ice thou.
Both look quite nice.
Though, I am a little confused on that first one; is the building raised up or surrounded by a mound of dirt? I ask because the road seems to behave a little strangely; I'm refering to that kink in the middle. It makes sense if the lighter tan area around the building is a mound, but if everything is essentially flat, then that kink seems out of place.
I particularly like the path in the snow for the castle. Something that you may have already considered is other foot-paths. Specifically, if there are any guards walking patrol, there'd be paths from that (and if this is for a game, as it sort of looks like it might be, clever players could use that information to determine patrol routes).
The snowy castle does look good. I find snow hard work probably because I dont get to see it all that often to know what its supposed to look like.
After some immense digging and google fu I dug up one of Vry's maps. Hes a great artists and has been over here once or twice. Anyway I remember he had a great snow scene so [url=http://magist.com/vry/v/misc/MapPreviews/StandAlone/Kaltiar+Revisted.jpg.html]heres a link[/url to that.
He seems to be able to get snow looking right. So see if you can take some tips from him. He uses Photoshop and has said a map can take weeks so don't think this is a normal standard - this is pretty exceptional.
The other thing is to tell us what it is your after with the castle cliff. I could try to get my terrain prog to gen up some rough cliff with snow on it. Its pretty good at that. In fact most terrain apps seem to be ok with snowscapes but that might again be more to do with the fact that I don't have the familiarity to see the issues in them.
If it comes out ok ill post it.

Edit: yes, that's better.
That looks like the effect I'm after, thanks for the link. I want a few more black rocks protruding like that. I'll have to see if I can get a really hi-def image of that map so I can examine the 'brush strokes' and learn from the master.
As for the cliffs, like you, I don't see enough snow to be sure, but I'll know it when I see it.
I feel that when snow falls on sharp rock, it will tend to calf off abruptly, taking the edgy shape of the rock, whereas the current snow patches are roundeed and faded out and are ideal for larger expanses of snow. That's why I suggested that your 'scattered snow' effect might be good if it could be scaled up over small objects.
For someone who doesn't see much snow, I'd say you've done a great job there, Redrobes, all I've done is plonked it down on top of a castle.

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Mark Trumbo hit a leadoff home run in the
bottom of the 13th inning, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim completed a
three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a 4-3 victory on Sunday.
Trumbo sent a 3-1 offering from Phil Coke (0-2) over the left-field wall,
lifting the Angels to their fifth straight win at home.
The blast made a winner out of Jerome Williams (1-0), who gave up two hits
over three scoreless innings.
The Tigers threatened in the ninth, but they wound up leaving the bases loaded
for the third time as Ernesto Frieri got Victor Martinez to fly out to left
Detroit left the bags full against Los Angeles starter C.J. Wilson in the
first and again in the second after plating a run on a fielder's choice.
Albert Pujols' two-run double off Detroit starter Doug Fister highlighted a
three-run third inning, but the Tigers pulled even two frames later on a two-
run homer by Prince Fielder off Wilson.
Game Notes
The Tigers have lost six straight to the Halos ... Fister gave up three runs
-- two earned -- on six hits and two walks in seven innings ... Wilson allowed
three runs on five hits and walked four over six frames ... Detroit center
fielder Austin Jackson went 0-for-7 with an RBI.

Your feet can spell trouble for you in a wide variety of ways. Whether you have toughened tissue on your heels or dry patches on your ankles, the skin problems that can develop on your feet are not only unsightly, but also uncomfortable. Dryness, calluses and roughness are signs that your feet are in need of the same care that you give your complexion. With each trouble spot, your feet are sending you a message, and it's up to you to find the best products with which to reply!
The Glytone Foot Care collection contains an array of formulas that can help soften, hydrate and speed the healing of tired feet. Scientifically formulated, the Glytone Foot Care line offers clinical results in over-the-counter products. Many of the Glytone Foot Care products contain unique proprietary ingredients that are highly effective. When used regularly, the Glytone Foot Care products respond to the signs of damage and abuse that your feet are showing with their dry, rough and callused regions. Tell your feet you hear their message loud and clear! Give Glytone Foot Care products a try.
Give your feet the tender loving care that their hard calluses and rough heels are crying out for with Glytone Foot Care collection. The foot care formulas in the range can dramatically improve how the skin all over your feet looks and feels.
The Glytone Ultra Heel and Elbow Cream is like a facial mask designed specifically to treat the roughest areas of your body. The cream helps to soften dead, thick patches on the heels and elbows, so that you can enjoy visibly softer, smoother skin that you'll love to touch and show off.
The formula found in the Glytone Ultra Heel and Elbow Cream is intended to be left in place on the skin for up to 30 minutes on the heels and 15 minutes on the elbows. While the cream remains on the skin, it treats the tissue to the exfoliating benefits of glycolic acid. Rather than using a glycolic compound in which the acid has been diluted with water or alcohol, the cream contains pure, free glycolic acid. At 29.5 percent strength, the glycolic acid concentration used in the cream is one of the highest available on the market, making it very effective at lifting away thick, dead skin.
The actions of the glycolic acid in Glytone Ultra Heel and Elbow Cream are complemented by vitamin E, a vital nutrient that helps to condition the skin and leave it feeling softer and suppler. The cream comes in a 1.7-ounce jar and should be used weekly.
