Stan Kenton: Lover
Stan Kenton (piano)
The Best of Stan Kenton (Capitol CDP 7243 8 31504 2 7)
Stan Kenton (piano), Buddy Childers (trumpet), Kai Winding (trombone), Milt Bernhart (trombone), Boots Mussulli (alto sax), Vido Musso (tenor sax), Bob Cooper (tenor sax), Shelly Manne (drums),
Ray Wetzel, Chico Alvarez, John Anderson, Ken Hanna (trumpet); Layton, Harry Forbes, Bart Varsalona (trombone); Eddie Meyers (alto sax), Bob Gioga (baritone sax), Eddie Safranski (bass).
Arranged by Pete Rugolo. Composed by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart.
Recorded: Hollywood, CA, March 31, 1947
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
After lulling us with an intro fit for a biopic of some doomed Romantic Composer, including stating the melody as a Chopin waltz, Stan Kenton's "Lover" outraces even Gene Krupa's "Lover" of two years previous. Moreover, while Krupa's cup-muted trumpets maintained a modicum of restraint, that word was missing from Kenton's vocabulary. Well before Detroit decided "bigger is better," Kenton laid on extra brass, widened his voicings and (foretelling Spinal Tap's amp that goes to 11) boosted fortissimo from ff to FFFFFFFFFFF. Vido Musso and Kai Winding solo, but this track is all about mass mania—the madness of crowds.

Eight Cowboys Selected for League Academic Honors
Western Wrestling Conference announces yearly awards
Cowboy Wrestling Captures 26-9 Road Win Over Northern Colorado, Concludes Regular Season With 11-4 Dual Record
17th-Ranked Pokes Now Look Forward to WWC Championships/NCAA West Regional on March 7
Road Test Wraps Up Regular Season For Cowboy Wrestling
UW faces conference leader North Dakota State
Cowboys Race Past Mustangs, 29-12
Seven Cowboys come up big in second team win of season
Wyoming Drops Dual Contest To No. 4 Sooners
Friesth and Stroh rack up nice wins
Career record:
2013-14: Again showing he's a team-first wrestler, Pfeifer wrestled at heavyweight for much of the season for the Cowboys. Outweighed by nearly every opponent, he rallied for five victories, including three dual wins to end his season. He defeated Northern Colorado's Henry Chirino, rated 33rd in the final Coaches' Poll, in a 2-1 decision on Feb. 7.
Pfeifer began the season at 184 pounds, placing second in two open tournaments to open the year. He was the runner-up in the Cowboy and Northwest Opens, losing to teammate Benjamin Stroh in both title matches.
He made an appearance on the WWC All-Academic squad for the second-straight season with a 3.53 GPA in geography. Pfeifer also made the Coaches' Honor Roll in 2011 and 2012.
2012-13: Despite a knee injury that sidelined him for the first half of the season, Pfeifer showed toughness and the willingness to help his team in any way possible in 2013. The undersized Pfeifer moved up to the heavyweight spot in January to replace an injured teammate, and battled admirably. He won a 9-4 decision in the dual versus Cal Poly in January.
But where Pfeifer came up big was in the Western Wrestling Conference Championship/NCAA West Regional at the end of the season. He won two matches versus league opponents in the event, and his win in the consolation final was integral to UW's fourth-straight conference title. He was Third Team All-WWC for the first time in his career and finished 3-11 overall. For the second year in a row, Pfeifer was honored by the Cowboy coaching staff for maintaining a GPA above 3.5 for the season.
2011-12: Pfeifer had a successful season, splitting time at 197 pounds and heavyweight. He placed in five tournaments, including two wins at the Utah Valley and Rocky Mountain Opens at 197.
He was ninth on the team with 20 wins and eighth with five major decisions. Pfeifer appeared in one dual for the Pokes, narrowly losing to Cal Poly's Kelan Bragg at heavyweight Jan. 20. He also had four pins and two third-place finishes in tournaments.
He received recognition from the UW coaching staff for maintaining a GPA above 3.5 for the season.
2010-11: Pfeifer redshirted his first season with UW, while wrestling to a 17-9 record in six open tournaments at 197 pounds. He collected three pins and went 1-1 versus the WWC. In the classroom, he was named to the WWC Coaches' Honor Roll.
Pfeifer opened the season with third at the Northwest Open and followed with second at the Cowboy Open and fifth at the Kaufman-Brand Open, but failed to place at the UNK Loper Open and Utah Valley Open. He ended his season with third at the Rocky Mountain Open. His longest winning streak of the season was six matches.
High School: Pfeifer was a three-time Wyoming high school state champion. He wrestled for Hulett High School at the 2A level and won his state championship bracket as a sophomore, junior and senior at 215 pounds. He finished third as a freshman at 189 pounds.
A multi-sport athlete, Pfeifer was also named All-State for three years in football and was a Wyoming state champion in the shot put for Hulett's track and field team.
Personal: Pfeifer was born in Gillette, Wyo., and he is the son of Bill and Jeani Pfeifer. He has one sister, Mariel. He is pursuing a degree in geology at UW.

Verizon's HTC Droid Incredible 4G (Fireball) hits the FCC, LTE included
Verizon is about to introduce a new Droid smartphone soon, namely the HTC Droid Incredible 4G, previously known as HTC Fireball.
While the largest US mobile carrier hasn't confirmed the launch date of the handset (and neither its existence), we've heard that it could be released on April 26. For this to happen, the Droid Incredible 4G first needs to pass the FCC. And, well, today it just did.
Of course, the FCC doesn't refer to the handset as the Droid Incredible 4G. It just mentions its model number: HTC PJ53100. But according to Japanese website Blog of Mobile (which always has these things right), the PJ53100 is the Droid Incredible 4G – and it has also been certified by the Bluetooth SIG.
The FCC tells us that the PJ53100 / Droid Incredible 4G has CDMA, EV-DO and Verizon-friendly LTE connectivity, plus Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n.
Other expected features include: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 8MP rear camera, and an AMOLED display (probably of at least 960 x 540 pixels).
At this moment, Verizon is offering no less than 10 4G LTE Android smartphones. Only one of them is made by HTC: the Rezound (introduced n November 2011). Well, there's also the HTC Thunderbolt, but this one is out of stock.

Kuala Lumpur: Japan's badminton head coach Park Joo-bong was looking forward to another Lee Chong Wei-Lin Dan match up at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, and was hoping to hear good news from Lee Chong Wei's Badminton World Federation hearing (BWF) that will be held in Amsterdam, April 11.
By Kwon Ji-younLong before there was Lee Yong-dae, there was Park Joo-bong.
Lee may be the current badminton mogul, but Park owns five world championship titles and has conquered 72 international competitions. On the contrary, Lee, his successor, has yet to top the world championship podium.
Kuching: While preparing to provide commentary at the ongoing Malaysian Masters in Kuching, Malaysia, Morten Frost provided some insight into his future plan for Malaysian badminton, when he is set to take over as the technical director of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) in March.
Incheon: The current head coach of Japan national badminton team and the 1992 Summer Olympics men's doubles gold medalist Park Joo-bong (with Kim Moon-Soo) of South Korea, has very mixed feelings about coaching the Japanese tam to compete at his home country.
BUKIT JALIL: Japan chief coach Park Joo-bong will be the first one to protest if the Badminton World Federation (BWF) were to offer a wild card again to five-time world champion Lin Dan of China for this year's World Championships.
Last year, Lin Dan was awarded the wild card despite missing international tournaments for almost a year. But the men's singles maestro showed his prowess by beating Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei for his fifth crown at his homeground – Guangzhou.
Joo-bong said that the world body's decision last year proved controversial as many felt that it was unfair.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Peralta, Marcelo (Eduardo Marcelo Peralta Roset)
Peralta, Marcelo [Eduardo Marcelo Peralta Roset], saxes, piano, accordion, Latin American woodwinds, teacher, composer; b. Buenos Aires, Argentina, 5 March1961. His father is Eduardo Luis Peralta Elorza (b. 21/10/32 Buenos Aires, Argentina), a neurologist (doctor). His mother is Herminia Roset Garcia (b. 27/2/34 Buenos Aires, Argentina), an amateur piano player and school teacher. His brother is Juan Pablo Peralta Roset (b. 20/10/64 Buenos Aires, Argentina), a naval engineer. His sister is Laura Herminia Peralta Roset (b. 15/5/66 Buenos Aires, Argentina), an office girl.
He studied piano and music theory for eight years with his teacher, Victoria Doval. He studied harmony and composition with Sebastian Piana for 2 years and Ofelia Carbajal for 3years. He studied Jazz Interpretation (big band) with Gerardo Chiarella for 3 years. He studied violin for one year, guitar for one year, trombone for three years with Rafael Toscano and saxophone for one year with J. C. Bozzo. By himself, he learned accordion and folkloric instruments. Marcelo studied piano and music theory at the Antiguo Conservatorio Beethoven, where he obtained a teaching certificate in 1979. At the age of 18, he began to play the baritone sax, showing a particular interest in the music of Serge Chaloff; inspired by John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman, he went on to learn tenor sax, then alto and finally soprano.
While studying harmony and composition under tango composer Sebastian Piana, he taught himself to play trumpet, trombone, tuba, violin, clarinet and other Latin American folk instruments. Since that time he has taught at several schools. In 1980 he taught music in both elementary and high schools, as well as at special education institutions. At the same time, he was hired as a saxophone and improvisation instructor at the Conservatorio Municipal Manuel de Falla Buenos Aires.
At 18, he began his career as a freelance musician, and went on to play and record with a wide range of artists and in many styles: The Bucky Arcella Trio, Manolo Yanes, Litto Nebbia,Fabiana Cantilo, Cuatro Vientos (sax quartet), LRA National Radio Orchestra (as a soloist), to name a few. In 1985 he met the guitar player Jorge Mancini, with whom he began to experiment with free improvisation and contemporary music; they were joined by the sax player Mariana Potenza and the percussionist Victor Da Cunha, together creating the "Grupo de Improvisacion Tercer Mundo" (Third World lmprovisation Group). Although he had been playing the quena, the accordion and other ethnic and percussion instruments alongside the standard ones for several years, his interest in folk music was further developed in 1988 when he performed and recorded with the pianist and composer Eduardo Lagos (a great innovator in Argentine folklore). He developed a truly personal view of improvised music when he formed his own quintet, with which he explored the deepest roots of Latin American music. Together with musicians such as Cesar Franov, Enrique Norris, Carlos Triolo, Diego Pojomovsky, and Guillermo Bazzola, among others, he made his second recording.
Over the next five years he headed the big band "Los Saxopatas"(1990/95) with which he recorded and performed throughout Argentina. ln Buenos Aires he made the debut of his "solo set show" in which he improvises freely on American folk tunes, interpreting bagualas, vidalas, bailecitos, chacareras and others in his own unique style.
He currently lives in Spain, where he teaches saxophone and improvisation at several music schools and performs both in Madrid and on his own solo tours.
His wife is Mariana Claudia Potenza Gossn (b. 31/12/64, Buenos Aires, Argentina), a teacher, saxophone professor and piano player. His son is Ramiro Peralta Potenza (b. 7/9/94, Buenos Aires, Argentina), a student and piano player. His daughters are Naima Peralta Potenza (b. 3/3/90, Buenos Aires, Argentina), a student and saxophone player, and Luz Peralta Potenza (b. 19/10/96, Madrid, Spain), also a student and saxophone player.

Another state attorney general has expressed support for the video game industry's rating system.
Rhode Island's Patrick Lynch (D, left) announced yesterday that he would participate in a public service announcement (PSA) campaign designed to raise parental awareness of video game content issues. The campaign, which begins this month, will feature radio and TV spots. Lynch, who will appear along with his daughter, 12, and son, 11, said:
Before children and teenagers grab the controls to play a video game, we're asking parents to control the types of games their kids play by checking the game's rating. Most parents routinely check the ratings of movies before taking or allowing their children to see films, and I'm honored to join with ESRB to ask parents to use that same level of vigilance concerning video games. It's up to us, as parents, to take every measure possible to increase protections for our children. Using the excellent ESRB rating system is an extremely important and positive step.
ESRB president Patricia Vance, who joined Lynch for the announcement, said:
We are very proud to have the support of Attorney General Lynch in reaching out to Rhode Island's parents to raise awareness of the ratings and urge parents to use them when buying or renting games.
In 2006 the ESRB worked out similar arrangement with the attorneys general of Utah (Mark Shurtleff) and Georgia (Thurbert Baker). Pennsylvania A.G. Tom Corbett has also expressed support for the ESRB as well as for built-in parental controls in game consoles.

Liberal is trying to look ahead. After winning the 5A state soccer championship last year, they are trying to be ready to repeat. The Redskins lost 9 of 11 starters from a 17-2 team in 2010 and won a state championship as an encore. The program will have the proverbial target on its back, but what else is new. Liberal has won 11 straight WAC titles and advanced to nine of the past 10 final fours. The Skins are hard at work this week with 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. practices to get ready for the season before school starts on Thursday. Liberal seniors Elmer Quintana and Esteban Michel stopped by Broadcast Square to speak with the Sportsguys earlier this week. Click on the audio icon to hear the interview.

Bugatti releases a new video starring the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, the convertible variant of the Veyron Super Sport which uses the same, terrific 8.0-litre quad turbo W16 engine with new superchargers and bigger intercoolers. This outstanding engine is credited with an output of 1,200 hp with 1,500 Nm of maximum torque that pushes the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.6 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in 7.1 seconds and can make it rach a top speed in excess of 400 km/h (about 250 mph).
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse measures 4,462 mm in length, 1,998 mm in width and 1,190 mm in height, and can come with an all-wheel drive system, a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, and a set of carbon-ceramic brakes, 400 mm at the front and 380 mm at the back. The model also features three modes of suspension settings: Standard, Handling and Top Speed. The Top Speed one is the setting selected for driving at speeds of over 375 km/k (233 mph).
In order to compensate the lack of a proper roof, Bugatti's engineers worked on the chassis of the car to make it stiffer, making also the NACA air intakes larger, making them larger. This modification will allow its powerful W16 unit to get the right cooling when driving with the soft top down. Simply put, this is the fastest serially produced convertible car in automotive history.

Red Panda Baby Healthy and Growing—Visitors Can View the Cub on Camera
July 16, 2013
The recently born Red panda cub continues to grow and thrive at Sequoia Park Zoo. Visitors to the zoo can catch a glimpse of the female cub via a closed-circuit monitor just inside the Barnyard area.
At nearly four weeks old, the cub is not yet mobile, but her eyes are just beginning to open. Zoo veterinarian Dr. Kevin Silver examined the cub briefly while mom was out eating bamboo, and found her to be healthy and strong. "She has gained weight steadily since birth, and mom is doing a great job nursing and grooming her," he said.
Last week a handful of lucky visitors were watching when Stella Luna brought her cub out of the den for the first time. She carried her around for a few minutes and even nursed her on exhibit. She returned the cub to one of the dens again after about five minutes, cutting the debut short. Red panda mothers typically move their cubs to new dens frequently during the first three months after birth. The baby won't be out exploring the exhibit on her own until later in August.
Zoo officials will be announcing plans for naming the cub soon.

Michael Penny
I feel like House & Home has been teasing me with glimpses into the home belonging to designer Michael Penny for what seems like forever! So I was really happy to see them do an entire feature with lovely photographs taken by Donna Griffith. Don't you love how comfy and cozy his house is? I adore his attainable style, and how he and his wife Sarah incorporated a ton of DIY ideas and penny-pinched their way through decorating their new Oshawa, Ontario home. I especially love their cute kitchen with the hexagonal floor tiles and cabinetry painted Martha Stewart Living Salt Glaze (MSL141). For lots more, including befores-n-afters, head to House & Home or Michael's blog!

Remodelaholic & DIY Showoff
A little bit country and a little bit beach beach, with some red and turquoise thrown in for good measure. That's the fabulous room designed by the two talented bloggers Cassity of Remodelaholic and Roeshel of DIY Showoff. They recently worked as a team to design this entire room around the flooring (both wood and rug) for an HGTV HOME Flooring by Shaw event. And what a fun event it must have been! Their vision began with the beautiful Ikat Panel rug by Shaw. They pulled out pops of blue and red from the rug and kept everything else as neutral as they could. They added texture through the furnishings, incorporated typography in several places and finally found objects like the rusted wrought iron fence and carved wooden horse to round out the space and make it feel like it grew over time. It really looks that way too...you'd never know it was all put together in just 8 hours! I adore the beautiful wall color they chose (Copen Blue by Sherwin Williams) and the red painted chandelier (Antique Red by Sherwin Williams). Both Cassity and Roeshel had great write-ups about their experience, with loads of photos and fun stories, so check out their blogs for lots more!

Lynn Morgan Design
To have a cute little waterside cottage in Nantucket...how many of us would be in absolute heaven?! This picture-perfect one by architects Brooks & Falatico with interior design by Lynn Morgan Design is just what I'd dream up for myself. All that white spiced up with yummy turquoise! I'm in love with those turquoise Moroccan poufs in the living room and the big, cozy sectional. And how about the turquoise lacquered floor in the bedroom?! Swoon!
If you're loving this home, I know you'll go nuts over this other Nantucket home that Lynn designed. I featured it quite a while back, so many of you might have missed it. Check it out here!

C++ code can be assigned to an object in R and called as a function, receiving arguments from R and returning them. I'm not sure what magic happens under the hood, but it sounds very promising and powerful.
There's an example of its use over at Life in Code. Pretty cool, if you're a code geek like me.

The Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act (H.R. 4742) was approved by a House committee on Thursday, May 29. The House Natural Resources Committee voted in favor of the bill, which would reauthorize the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation & Management Act. The committee approved a series of amendments.
The bill passed on a roll call vote of 24 to 17. One of the approved amendments would require new federal-state partnerships to collect recreational fishing data. The Department of Commerce would have to work with states and give guidance to help them collect info. The amendment would require a report every other year detailing the efforts. States could get federal grants to collect the data. Within two months of the bill's passage, the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences would start work on a study to see how collection of state fisheries data has improved since 2006. The report would be due in a year.
The bill would also allow more flexibility in managing fisheries, since the fishing community has complained about the requirements thrust upon them in the 2006 law. And the bill would give fishermen a greater say in determining when catch share programs will be implemented and gives them more information. It includes new requirements on the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration in accounting for how it collects and what it does with its money. The bill would keep all funding at current levels for the next five years.
The committee has conducted a series of hearings on the issue going all the way back to 2011. Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (R-WA) said if you don't like provisions in the bill, there will be further opportunities to amend it before Congress finally passes it. No specific companion legislation is pending in the Senate, though in April, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation approved a bill dealing only with Pacific fishing.

To prevent contaminants from polluting the community's water, Ventura County's Public Work's Watershed Protection Agency designed an innovative approach that has changed the way we deal with environment elements such as rain.
The American Public Works Association announced 2015's volunteer leaders during its annual convention in early August.
A West Coast city shaves the cost of installing one of the nation's largest membrane bioreactor systems by one-third.
When San Diego's Alvarado Water Treatment Plant integrated solar power into its operations last year, it found a new source for 30% of its electricity. Today, nearly 1.8 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of the plant's power are generated by photovoltaic panels installed onsite, saving $70,000 annually.
Ten years ago, security at most mid-sized water treatment plants was little more than a locked door. Today, water and wastewater utilities are doing their best to protect the vulnerabilities of systems that spread out over literally millions of miles.
Since the public sector isn't burdened by the requirement to be profitable, we're free to deliver service based on what's best for the public.
Turning around the condition of a city's streets is difficult at best. After years of neglect, Los Angeles suburb Oxnard, Calif., is beginning the long, slow climb back to smoother rides for its 180,000 residents.

If it was a lightening strike that caused the rupture in the pipeline, it is a good idea to add lightening rods.
If you have never heard of them, now you have.
Any old grain elevator in North Dakota had braided copper lightening rods at the top of the very top of the building. Keeps the elevator from burning down to the ground when struck by lightening.
Lightening rods do work.

mules, kudos for your post about lightning rods. There's always lots happening out here on the prairie. One has to be prepared for anything. Betcha L-rods will again become fashionable very soon.
Did the libs here miss the news story about that lightning strike that left a quarter-inch hole in the pipeline?
MUCH easier to keep up with mainstay diatribes, I suppose....

We are learning what our politicians meant by "take this to Wash." referring to our oil business. it meant: don't get in their way. let them flare, spill, leak, pollute, destroy. get the EPA out of it because we can handle it. A writer from Colorado warned us and said "they cannot repair the damage they do." the McClain Co. Ind. paper had a detail of the frac lines and oil transfer lines in the greater Newtown area. every quarter mile is surrounded by a frac or transfer line. pipeline leaks are the objection to the keystone xl. we have the potential for many now. i think the MCI article told of 13 pipelines crossing lake sak. if they take the true story to Washington--the epa will probably follow them back here--in droves. the work can and should be done safely for all of our sake.

MS: there is probably more metal per inch of oil pipe than per inch of lightening rod. the rods don't fry when struck--why would the pipe and it is buried? our sewer system is a L. rod system--that is why you should avoid plumbing fixtures during lightning. never heard of one of those pipes breaking from lightning.
4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
lightning favors tall objects. this a crop field--not tall. the pipe is buried. wouldn't lightning blast a hole in the soil above the pipe which would cause the oil to go up not down into the ground? the path up is the least resistance and it floats on water. most of our soils are very wet this year. it could have been struct b4 it was placed and buried--everything is so high speed out there and who would want to stop the assembly line by reporting it--if they saw it? first they burned the puddle to destroy the evidence.

I was referring to the lightning strike, did you people know a lightning strike is approximately 53,540 degrees Fahrenheit? With any life experience at all you would know oil is combustive at a much lower temp, oil becomes combustible at 3,902 °F, and 3,632 °F for natural gas.

FinReg – Financial Regulation – Reform

Yesterday while listening to NPR, I heard someone explain in terms clearer than I'd heard to date what it means to have rules in place for how Wall Street, the investment banks, depository banks, and all the others operate. There's no such thing as a truly and fully "free market" — the absence of regulation.…
Obama Outlines New Plan for Space
by Saad •
Obama's plan is to increase NASA's budget by $6 billion over five years and shift the responsibility for space transportation to private companies, which would be encouraged to "compete to design and build and launch new means of carrying people and materials out of our atmosphere." They would be responsible not just for designing and building the rockets and spaceships, which they largely do already, but also for conducting flights to the International Space Station.
Teacher performance should not be measured by a series of multiple-choice questions

Life is not a series of multiple-choice questions and our students are not monkeys trained to use a #2 pencil to fill in bubbles on a sheet of paper.

NOTE: If you save your game while using the cheats you may not be able to shut them off. Also, codes can be entered while the game is paused (at the menu screen). Hit Esc to pause the game, then type the codes desired. The codes' effects will take place once you unpause. This trick does work for entering multiple codes at once, and is especially useful when you must enter codes quickly.
Ambulance Mission Rewards
Complete 35 ambulance missions to get a heart at your hideout.
Complete 70 ambulance missions to get an adrenaline pill at your hideout.
Get onto Level 12 in an ambulance mission and you will get the infinite run cheat.
Easy Fire Truck Missions
Steal a fire truck and begin the Firefighter mode. When you are assigned a new fire to put out, press F1 to start a replay, then F1 again to cancel it. The fire will be immediately extinguished.
Easy Vigilante Missions
When in a police car, enforcer, fbi car, or rhino, start the vigilante missions. Drive close to the target vehicle, and press ESC to call up the options menu. Choose 'Resume Game', and when the game resumes, your target will stop his/her vehicle and get out, making them much easier to kill.
Make Gang Members Stop Hate You
If you want the gang members to stop shooting at you you can do like this: Open up the pedstats.dat file located in the "data" folder (from the main GTA3 game folder) using Notepad. There you will find columns with the stats for all the different pedestrians in the game. Find the lines named STAT_GANG1 to STAT_GANG7 and change the number in the D column to 100. This is their Fear stats. Then change the number in the E column to 0. This is their Temper stats. Save the file. Now none of the gang members will attack you in the streets
Editing car stats
In the GTAIII-directory there should be a subdirectory called data. In this directory, you will find the file handling.cfg, and others, containing the stats for different cars and objects. Here you can change the weight of the car (column A, higher is better) and it's crash damage multiplier (column Y, lower is better, 0 means no crash damage), in order to make any car have the weight of a tank, and take no damage from crashes. The file itself gives good pointers towards which values should be changed, and you should backup any files you intend to edit. The limits mentioned in the file are just recommendations, you really can put in anything you want. When done, just restart the game, and you edited police car will push vehicles like a Fire Engine, and take absolutely no damage from crashing.
Flame-Thrower At Your Hideout
Complete 20 fire mission on each island to get a flame thrower at each hideout.
Police Bribes At Hideout
Complete 10 vigilante missions on one island to get a police bribe at your hieout. Complete 20 vigilante missions on each island to get a total of 6 police bribes at each hideout.
Unlock The Borgine Taxi
Complete at least 100 taxi missions to unlock a new, faster taxi.
More cars in garage
You can fit more cars in your hideout's garage than you are supposed to. In district two, the garage should only hold two cars but you can fit four in (or five if they are small). Park the first two besides each other next to the wall. Then, park each car after that next to the door. Get out and the door will open. Quickly drive the car in before the door shuts. Now all three or four cars are saved. In order for this to work you need to park them very close together.
Custom music
Copy some of your favorite MP3 files into the "mp3" folder in the game folder. Start the game and you will have a new radio station titled "mp3 player". Choose it to hear your own selections.
Custom skin
Open the "skin" folder in the main game folder. Copy the skin "playa2.bmp" into any desired folder, then rename it "playa3.bmp". Open the "playa3.bmp", into MS Paint, Adobe Photo Shop, or another graphics program. Re-color and customize it as desired, then copy it back into the "skin" folder in the main game folder. Start the game, go into "Player Options", and choose your new skin.
Regain health with prostitute
Car jack any vehicle and drive up to a prostitute walking the streets. Stop and let her approach the car, after a few seconds of talking, she will get in. Drive to a remote area where there are not any cops around (a good place is in your hideout). Stop the car, but do not get out. After about two seconds, the car will start rocking back and forth. You will recover approximately 40 to 50 points of health. When it is over, she will exit the car and walk away, but not before she charges you a fee. At this point you can beat her up and take back the money you just paid her. Note: The prostitute will fight back when you try to take your money back. If for any reason you both have to exit the car before it starts rocking, you will still be charged a fee (beat her up to take it back). You cannot do this with the same prostitute twice in one night -- you can however, pick up another prostitute and recover more health. Even though the maximum amount of health points is 100 when you start the game, it increases to 125 after the encounter and remains that way.
Portland: Get to Staunton Island early
In the "Last Request" mission, it is possible to "maroon" the Japanese girl. To do this, look for the closest "island" when you pick her and Maria up. Get to the island and back the boat up a slope. You will hear crunching sounds. Experiment, and sooner or later she will drop off the boat and onto the island. From there, get to Staunton Island. You can cruise around and do everything else except take up any missions or side jobs. Kill Maria or the Japanese girl and the mission will end.
Easter Egg
In shorside vale there is a massive Easter egg. We all know were the observatory is, If you have a patriot drive up the mountain to right beneath the observatory (where the electrical polls are )You will se a ramp sort of thin (hill kind of a thing) Hit it from not the left but the right side of the observatory. You will fly and come crashing down but not to worry you will fall into the ground. If you did it correctly you should se something in the distinct (to your right) that looks kind of odd. It is a massive room. BUT here is where I need YOUR HELP I don't know how to get there. (You can probably go there with a dodo but I don't know how to go up or down.) If you get there you can take the credit for it. THE RACE IS ON. Good luck. Hope you find it. (thanks: alex)
Easter Egg
If you unlock shorside fale you can see this egg. It is pretty simple but it is still funny. When you enter shorside (from over the bridge) you should see the port on your left. Go on untill you get 2 the sters stop get out and run up the sters at the top you should se a huge statue of a man. If you look on his heed you can see a traffic cone. YES, that's a trafic cone!. You can shoot it down with a rocket launcher (or a tank). I still don't know what it is but it's funny. (thanks: alex)

Me, Myself and India
GOA, India – There's a name Indians use for people like me. They call us ABCDs- American-born, confused desis (slang for Indians). I'll gladly take the A, B, and D, but please, leave out the C. In my book, there's a simple reason I don't have to be confused between being American and Indian – I can be both. I can talk like an American, look at the world with American eyes and still understand and appreciate my family's Indian culture. I don't stay up nights worrying about who I am.
But India, I'm finding, is confused about me. This week, as I walked down boulevards in big cities and driven on village roads, I felt eyes on me, questioning. Who is he? A rich city boy from Mumbai? Or maybe a young auto-rickshaw driver with a bit of attitude and too much free time? Once I open my mouth, it's clear from my accent that I'm not from around here. But that's when the biggest question of them all pops up: So he's from the US. But is he an Indian, or a foreigner?
The possibility I could be both doesn't really seem to be an option. There really are only two camps for people here- either I'm an Indian first, or I'm an American in full.
At our hotel in Chennai, a group of us road trippers, all foreigners from the West, were listening to music on the terrace. It was late at night, and the hotel manager wanted the party over. Of the 15 people there, he chose me to send the message. On my way to the bathroom, he pulled me aside. "We have to explain to them about our country," he pleaded with me. "You know, and I know, but they don't know that we can't have music here this late." I almost told him that I didn't know all that much about the country either, but decided to hold my tongue.
The from-America camp is just as convinced. When our auto-rickshaw dropped its muffler on the road today, we pulled into a mechanic's shop with a deafening roar to get a new one. A friend of the mechanic, Daoud, was leaving on his motorcycle- until he saw me. We did what's quickly become a familiar dance. He asked where I was from; in Hindi, I gave my life story in the usual three sentences. I was born there, my parents are from here but moved a long time ago, and now I'm working in Delhi. He paused, then turned to the friend sitting behind him. "It's amazing he speaks Hindi so well," Daoud said. Turning to me, he added: "So why are you so skinny like an Indian? You're from the US." I told him I grew up on an Indian diet, but I don't think he got the subtle point.
Growing up near New York City and going to school in another diverse part of California, the notion of a hyphenated identity isn't anything remarkable — as my Chinese-American, African-American and Mexican-American friends and colleagues would attest. Over the years, I've often had to explain why I was a vegetarian, but other than that, in America, no one has ever really tried to pigeonhole me.
I'm surprised that a country that can claim so many identities — regional, ethnic, religious — can't let me be both American and Indian. The closest they come is to call me an NRI, or non-resident Indian. But that really describes people like my father, who left this country to live abroad. The country I've come to explore is more his than mine. He spent his childhood on the streets of Mumbai — ironically, riding around auto-rickshaws not very different from the trusty steed I'm taking cross-country right now. He, unlike me, was raised an Indian.
Most people I've encountered believe the roots I have in India are small and weak, at best. But even though I have little personal connection to this country, the welcome I receive from many Indians makes me wonder if it's not something I could develop.
A waiter at our hotel came by to drop off room service earlier this evening to feed our growling stomachs. He asked the usual questions; I gave my rote answers. On his way out, he gave Hannes a cursory wave, turned to say bye to me, hesitated, then came to shake my hand- highly unusual for generally timid Indian hotel staff.
"It's so good to have you in our country," he said, turning to go before I could tell him that it's good to be here, too.

text: Children and Teens Voices in ADHD: A Letter to Dad from an ADHD Son The importance of routine and structure in family life By: From an InsideADHD.org reader The following is a letter sent from a 31-year-old InsideADHD reader to his father. In the letter, the son expresses that after all these years, he finally realizes that his father's attempts during his childhood to make him stay organized and to establish a daily routine were the same life skills that he would have to apply to his life as an adult to manage his ADHD. Dear Dad,I rolled my eyes at the checklists you posted around the house, like the neatly printed one by the front door asking whether I'd switched off the light, taken my lunch box, and had my keys.I remember crying, frustrated at the twentieth time you told me how important it was to plan my day using a calendar. "I don't need to plan every minute of my day!" I sobbed. Even the idea creating a "to-do" list was very peculiar to me, and downright scary. Making a to-do list was writing a nag from the future. Reading something I had written, telling me what to do, was no different than talking to myself and surely meant I was "crazy," I thought. Why should I listen to a piece of paper?I remember our constant battles of keeping my bedroom tidy. My floor was a chaotic minefield of Legos and CDs, and doubled as a dresser for my clothing. I would wonder to myself, "Why should I make my bed? It's just going to get messy again."I'm 31 now, and I was diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago. It took me about 25 years to realize that you were doing everything right.Along with many others who receive an ADHD diagnosis during adulthood, my diagnosis as a 26-year-old was a "missing piece" that helped to explain so much about the way I am, past and present. After coming to accept it (with great relief), I now know that the real challenge would be (and will always be) to manage it. Although ADHD medication has helped me immensely, I really do believe in the saying, "pills don't teach skills." The past five years have been a rough period, but after a lot of trial-and-error, I've finally discovered a few core rules that I know I absolutely MUST follow, in order to function best.These are:Using a morning checklist to establish a daily routine.Creating and completing "to-do" lists.Using a calendar, and accepting the fact that I can't remember everything.I've even made a habit of making my bed; it took me 25 years to appreciate the relief of coming home to a made bed and a tidy room.Sound familiar? I struggled. But even though the possibility that I had ADHD was never explored, you still tried your best to instill these good habits in me. I was stubborn and only when life got "really hard" (i.e., my disorganization and forgetfulness nearly cost me a job, two friendships, and severely hampered my success in college) did I realize that I would need to change.Thank you for relentlessly pushing me to adopt these good habits. While it took years of my own soul-searching to realize their value and adopt them on my own, I now know that I will try my best to instill these same routines when I have a family of my own.Love, Your ADHD Son See what works for your familyIf your child struggles with organization and time management, it is best to begin addressing these challenges early on. Experiment with some of the strategies above, and make it a family-wide activity, so it's more likely to stick, and so your child doesn't feel singled out. Here are just a few examples:All in the Family. Posting a large "Family Calendar" in a centralized place that is accessible to everyone can be useful way to manage the logistics of everyone's busy lives (check office supply stores for whiteboard calendars and dry-erase markers). Provide each family member with their own colored marker to write in the calendar. This way, everyone's schedule can be easily seen at a glance.Technology Tip. Better yet, take advantage of everyone's connectedness to the Internet: Go online and set up a free Google Calendar to create a shared e-calendar that every member of the family can access and update.Food for Thought. On Sundays, create a family meal plan for the week, and use this to guide your grocery shopping. Having a set dinner plan can curb impulsive eating, and encourages your family to have a sit-down meal together.Everything in its Place. Create a centralized "home" for the items (for example, house keys, emergency cell phone, or their book bag) your child needs to take before leaving the house. This can save lots of time and frustration in the morning, and can help your child get out of the house more quickly.Routine and structure are important for children with ADHD. While school tends to provide this structure for most of your child's day, it is equally important to have routines in place in your home.

Back to the Basics of Nurturing
Swaddling has been practiced by almost every culture for thousands of years. Western societies, especially the United States, moved away from swaddling in the last century. But with the help of modern research that proves swaddling helps babies sleep better, it's making a comeback as parents, caregivers, and pediatricians learn its many benefits.
The True Womb Advantage
In our experience, current swaddling solutions don't solve the majority of sleep and colic issues that newborns and their parents have. True Womb is determined to change the staus quo.
Commercially available swaddles focus on the arms but not the legs, which are a key factor in helping babies feel secure.
Poor wrapping techniques with blankets cause swaddles to become loose
Over-wrapping with too many layers can cause overheating
Current swaddles do not emulate the true feeling of the womb closely enough for many babies

Welcome to the February Carnival of Natural Parenting: Parenting Essentials
This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Code Name: Mama and Hobo Mama. This month our participants have shared the parenting essentials that they could not live without. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
I don't know how some people get through parenting without babywearing. Seriously. I couldn't do the mama thing without my sling.
It's not just a temperament thing; my son was clearly more intense and had a higher need for touch than my 6-month-old daughter does, but chill-baby still needs to be worn to keep the day from falling apart. Or my arm from falling off.
In the early days, I used a Hotsling in a cradle hold to get both of my children to sleep: my son when I just wasn't up for lying down with him, and my daughter when that simply wasn't an option. If big brother needs to run off some steam at the park, so go mom and baby. The new one actually enjoys being in a stroller, so we do use it (this fancy one I won at a mommy blogging event), but it was never an option with her brother. He screamed his head off in a stroller. But put him snug as a bug and next to my heart or his dad's, and he was happy. I'm much more active in my community with this second baby, and wearing her in the sling has let me successfully run Holistic Moms meetings and even appear on CNN!
Now that my daughter can hold her head up, she frequently rides on my back in the Beco while I'm making dinner. A number of times, she got in her third nap this way without my son having to get "lonely" while I put her down in the other room. Although there was no sibling to appease when her brother was little, he could only be happy in a Pack N Play for so long (or only safe creeping on the floor for so long), so into the Ergo he went at dinnertime, too.
Many are the moments when I need extended time with both hands, and leaving the baby confined in a bouncy seat or Pack N Play is just no fun for anyone. She doesn't cry much, but if I didn't pick her up and put her on me, I'm sure that would be different. As long as she's not hungry or wet, the carrier is practically a fail-safe option. As a new baby, she might cry being carried but immediately find peace in a sling. Today, even if a babysitter has her, she feels much more secure in a sling than in arms.
If I don't need her on my back for safety around a hot stove, I wear her on my front in a Maya wrap or Mei Tai (and maybe someday I'll conquer the Moby). She adores watching my many activities, and she gets to see the work of the home: smelling ingredients, hearing the sound of water as she sees it running, and generally seeing the world from where the action is. All the while, she's spending happy time next to her mama, who is known to be a little scattered and not always as in touch as I'd like to be, trying to do too much. Wearing my baby adds back in some of what I'm missing by being overextended with work and volunteer responsibilities.
I won't say that babywearing is easy; the extra weight on my body is, well, weight, which counts more on a small frame like mine than it might for a bigger parent. It is a relief to take off the carrier, I admit. But it's also joy to a kiss a smiling baby's head instead of watching her crying face from across the room.
Now that she's turning so grabby, I have to be careful what she can reach on the counter. But that's a phase, and babywearing can outlast it. Even with preschoolers, it's a great option to throw your child on like a backpack. When we knew my recently ill four-year-old son wouldn't be feeling well enough to walk back home up a big hill last spring, on went the Ergo. All was well in the world – no whining or overexertion.
Babywearing has gotten much more common in my area since my son was born in 2006. I remember people in my mainstream moms club looking at me a little funny for always having my son on me, but I know of at least four people who bought Ergos — and have raved about them — after seeing me with my son in one all the time.
I am so thankful that I saw my sister wear her firstborn in a Maya wrap over 12 years ago, just like I'm grateful I saw her and my other sister nurse for so long and that I saw my niece born at home 13 years ago. Seeing is teaching, or at least making the unknown seem possible.
I'm so glad for these smart pieces of fabric to help my children feel safe and loved. And me feel sane.

Please take time to read the submissions by the other carnival participants:
Slings are such an important tool for me as well.My little boy really craves human touch and is in the sling most of the time. Right now he is napping in the Ergo 🙂
I don't know where I'd be without my baby carriers! Kieran is also one of those kids who likes to be snugged up close – ever since he was newborn. At 3 yrs old, he still requests the Ergo quite frequently 🙂
There is absolutely nothing like a warm, sleeping baby tied to your chest. I miss that now that my boys are more mobile. I didn't use my sling as regularly as you did but I loved it. It made parenting more than one child easier. Especially at events where I only had two hands to three very active boys!
I love that you had her in the sling during the CNN interview! Babywearing has been a key part of parenting for me as well, both from the practical and the sheer yummy standpoints. You've got to love being able to keep baby with you in such an easy way!
Having recently rediscovered the joys of a ring sling with my toddler, I couldn't agree with you more. When my son wasn't feeling well but we had an obligation to attend to, I wore him close to me and he enjoyed the extra snuggles that day. Such a great experience.
Great post; isn't babywearing awesome? It allows us to give our children the closeness they need and allows us two free arms to do what we need to do. Perfect!
I love how you connect it to having seen babywearing in practice, and how you, too, have inspired others to take that leap. There really is something about modeling that means more than just saying you like something. My son wanted to be carried and bounced constantly as a newborn; there's no way I could have handled his (high) weight without our carriers! Even now at 3 and a half, we occasionally have back rides in Ergo, so I was glad to hear you found opportunity to wear your 4-year-old! It's still useful and snuggly.
P.S. How cool that you were interviewed while babywearing! 🙂
