Orange State Inc., owner of Charlie Jewell's, and Moonlight Security Services are named in the suit filed April 5, 2012.
Unspecified damages are being sought in connection with what is being alleged as the wrongful death of 22-year-old Kruze Levusi Kuaea. The suit also alleges negligence in connection with the fatal shooting of the Yucaipa resident and the wounding of his friends, Jeremy Lavanway and Jared Miller.
Attorney Robert Stoll of Stoll, Nussbaum and Polakov in Los Angeles, who represents Lavanway, Miller and Kuaea's estate, alleged in a telephone interview on Friday that Charlie Jewell's "had a lot of problems, and a lot of policies and procedures that invite trouble."
The 2011 shooting took place in the early hours of Nov. 19 in front of a packed Charlie Jewell's in downtown Redlands.
Police said a fight in the bar spilled onto Orange Street after the parties involved were escorted outside, where more verbal and physical exchanges occurred.
Authorities allege that Randy Ortis, now 24, opened fire on Kuaea, Lavanway and Miller before fleeing
The shooting was captured on police cameras, and Ortis was arrested days later in the 5500 block of Bonnie Street in the Del Rosa area of San Bernardino.
Ortis on that deadly night was "doing something to a girl and Kuaea steps in," Stoll said."The bouncers say, 'Take it outside,' push everyone outside and a fight ensues.
"Kruze punches the guy who is supposedly harassing the girl. And the next thing you know, Ortis pulls out a gun and starts shooting."
Kuaea died a half-hour later, shortly before 1:30 a.m., at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
Lavanway was shot three times, Stoll said, and his medical expenses have exceeded $500,000.
Miller, who at the time of the shooting had recently come back to Redlands from serving in the military, received serious wounds as well, Stoll said.
Charlie Jewell's, said Stoll, "shouldn't have these kinds of problems, and security shouldn't have kicked these guys out at the same time."
Thompson and Colegate LLP, the Riverside-based attorney firm representing Orange State Inc., said in court papers filed March 19 that Kuaea and friends did not use care or caution for their own safety and protection, and the protection of others, but behaved in a careless and reckless manner.
"We are unable to comment at this time," Thompson and Colegate attorney Gary T. Montgomery said when contacted Friday.
Stoll said his firm was approached by Kuaea's parents when they noticed the bar had not made significant changes to its security protocol.
"The family really wants the bar to change its policies and procedures," Stoll said. "They had two security guards on staff for hundreds of patrons. The two security guards were totally inexperienced. So what the family really wants is some kind of change so it doesn't happen to somebody else."
Ortis is expected back in court on Aug. 23, facing murder and attempted-murder charges.

Asian Private Banks Less Willing to Pay Eye-Popping Salaries
Even Asia's private bankers are feeling the pinch these days.
The hiring binge for private bankers in Asia that fueled a run-up in salaries in recent years has slowed, as wealth managers are staying put longer and banks, burdened by high costs, are less willing to pay top dollar for inexperienced staff, people in the industry say.
One private banker at a large global bank said that one or two years ago, a private banker could expect a 30% salary hike and a guaranteed bonuses in their first year, by changing jobs. Now, the bonus, at least, is less likely, and so is the job-hopping, because banks are less willing to dangle extreme packages to get wealth managers to switch firms.
"The merry-go-round of private bankers has slowed down," said Justin Ong, a partner at PwC in Singapore. "In contrast to a few years ago, when private bankers stayed in their jobs an average of two years, the moves you see today are mostly at the senior banker level and are much less frequent."
With emerging markets like China and Indonesia turning out new millionaires by the day, established wealth managers like UBS AG and Credit Suisse Group Inc, as well as newer entrants such as local players and boutique Swiss banks, are all jostling for a share of the growing pie. But a shortage of experienced wealth managers in the region drove up compensation to levels higher than in Europe or North America, and led to high turnover as even the inexperienced were lured with lucrative packages.
According to a 2012 survey by recruiting firm Korn/Ferry, half of private bankers in Asia surveyed received total annual compensation of greater than $500,000, with 15% of those earning more than $1 million.

SAN JOSE -- It's time to decide a series winner. Game 7. The first ever here at the HP Pavilion in downtown San Jose. The question most bandied about in the quarter-final series between the Calgary Flames and the San Jose Sharks is which team has the momentum. The answer might be unknown until the end of tonight's game. "I don't know if you could describe any team in this series as controlling momentum," said Calgary head coach Mike Keenan. "It goes in game swings."
Tonight's Line-ups and Game Notes
Analysis: Anything can happen now
Kiprusoff calm, cool and collected
One shot, one bounce, one bad penalty. That's who quickly a Game 7 can swing.
But the Flames aren't talking about lucky bounces. They are talking about putting together another complete game, rolling four lines and shutting down the hottest team in the NHL after the trade deadline. The heavily-favoured Sharks might not be so heavily-favoured anymore.
"There's pressure on both sides. I don't think there is a favourite anymore," said forward Daymond Langkow.
Forward Kristian Huselius said the team is in the right frame of mind heading into the game and not letting the pressure eat them up.
"We're still playing on ice. We're still playing with a puck. We're playing with five guys and a puck. So are they. Last game we played with a lot of confidence. We did a good job. It was a complete team effort," said Huselius.
"There's nothing to lose," noted Craig Conroy. We have to have a good start and find a way to get the first goal. Keenan said players react differently to the pressure of Game 7. "Some people thrive on the expectations. Some people succumb to the expectations."
After tonight's game we'll know who thrived and who succumbed.
THE ROSTER: The Flames are expected to ice the same line-up meaning F Dustin Boyd and F Eric Godard will likely be sitting. D Rhett Warrener (ankle) is now skating with the team .F Mark Smith (head, neck) is definitely out. The Flames used defenceman Jim Vandermeer at forward in Game 6 and he put in 10 relatively effective minutes. The Flames claimed a 2-0 win in Game 6 so expect very little to change and look for Vandermeer to play up front again. The Sharks are expected to re-insert vet Jeremy Roenick into the line-up after he was scratched in Game 6. Defenceman Kyle McLaren will not play. He is nursing a groin injury, according to the Sharks. With Godard out of the line-up, the Sharks may opt to sit their fighter, Jody Shelley, tonight.
WORTH NOTING: Head coach Mike Keenan said he thought Kristian Huselius's effort in Game 6 in Calgary was the best game he had seen the forward play. Keenan has coached Huselius on two teams, in Florida and in Calgary. Huselius said he just wanted to be more involved and keep his feet moving. "I want to keep that up," said Huselius who has three assists in the series...

Switch episode 3 review
This week's episode revealed a little more about the main characters' personalities, but Caroline's still not sure. Here's her review...
I was pretty unsure about the second episode of Switch last week, and have to say that this third instalment is a big improvement even if it still has some glaring problems. As we saw at the tail end of last week, the girls are bringing Stella's ex-girlfriend back into their lives so she can move on from their volatile relationship, and things go about as well as you'd expect. Meanwhile, Jude tricks her way into a big fashion house as head designer, Hannah gets conned into an illegitimate job, and Grace gets the hots for her friend's boyfriend/fling-type person.
The most interesting storyline is, predictably, Stella and Lucy's rekindled romance, as it's nice to see the other three girls rally around their friend like they do. Lucy herself is less entertaining, more irritating, and it's hard to believe two people so different could ever have maintained a relationship. It's a worthwhile story to tell, at least, which is more than I've had to say about some of the story threads over the last couple of weeks. Frankly, having a lesbian couple treated like any other relationship on a mainstream ITV series is refreshing and should be applauded (though that's sad to say in our day and age).
Jude is back cheating her way through life this week as, after discovering that an old classmate had made it as a designer, she charms her portfolio to land the top designer job at a big fashion house. The fact that she can't do the job doesn't seem to matter, as we're meant to believe that someone who's life passion is clothes doesn't know what to say in a meeting about the spring collection. It's all played for laughs, of course, but Jude is just making me angry at this point.
Workshy until the end, she throws away the manager's job she got by default last week just so she can have a huge office. Her laziness ends up getting the intern in trouble and this is the first time Switch has attempted to throw in any moral implication attached to the girls' actions. Without a spell portfolio and working three jobs just to maintain her dream of working there, Jude still manages to get her fired when delegating work above her pay grade. She eventually quits to start her own market stall, which is a nice move for the show in terms of somewhere else for the girls to congregate, but not before recommending the girl to her old boss. It's a step in the right direction, but Jude remains the least likeable character on the show.
Hannah and Grace take a backseat this week, with Hannah's job search taking a slightly dangerous turn. Talking to a random passer-by about any jobs he might have going, she ends up in what she thinks is a security checker (or secret agent) position, which involves stealing things from department stores in order to check how secure they are. As it turns out, she's just taking stuff for her boss to sell on, and the police eventually catch up with her. The plot thread isn't really resolved, but I can't see it spelling much further trouble for her. Anyway, they can just do a spell if things go badly wrong.
Grace's storyline, however, will probably carry on for the rest of the series, as the slacker boss from last week has become involved with both her and Jude. Despite the implication that Jude wouldn't really care if he disappeared, there's still an element of loyalty between them that stops Grace from really pursuing the relationship. So far I find Grace the most intriguing member of the coven, especially with the revelation this week that she was agoraphobic at one point, and would love to see her past expanded upon. Maybe we could visit the solstice in which the girls met for the first time? Or bring her mother back to the show?
This episode was better than last week's dubious outing, and I appreciated the lack of magic used, but there's still a few problems I would like to see ironed out if I were to fall in love with these characters.

CHICAGO - President Barack Obama is on the road again, this time to warn students about a pending interest rate hike on college loans if Congress doesn't act. Travelling to campuses in politically important presidential battleground states like North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa, the president says he wants Congress to keep the current interest rates.
If the rates are allowed to double on July 1, students will pay on average $1,000 more in interest on government-guaranteed Stafford loans. Students carry on average $25,250 in debt while facing the highest unemployment rate in recent history at 9.1percent, according to projectstudentdebt.org. Two-thirds of college seniors graduated with loans in 2010.
The president told students that he and First Lady Michelle Obama were "in your shoes" and didn't pay off their student loans until eight years ago.
"I didn't just read about this," he said. "When we married, we got poor together."
(Story continues below video embed; President Obama "slow jams" the news on Jimmy Fallon show.)
U.S. student loan debt is estimated at $1 trillion, surpassing credit card and auto-loan debt. Just over 14.5 million people under the age of 30 owe $294.93 billion with a growing number of Americans over the age of 50 - 6.3 million - owing $134 billion.
Shannon Enorense, a computer science major at Northeastern Illinois University here, is a returning student who isn't worrying about loans - this time.
"I've paid for my education out of my pocket, thanks to finding gainful employment in my 20s - something that will be a challenge for the younger generation until we are out of this recession and more jobs are created," she said via email.
After working and going to school for the past 20 years, Enorense graduates next month. The average student debt for graduating seniors in Illinois is $ 23,885.
Enorense said she didn't pay too much attention to interest rates on her student loans when she was younger.
"I signed on the line," she said. "Paying it back was something I would think about 'when I grew up'."
Enorense said she fears the younger generation may be more focused on getting through college than debt after graduation.
Younger students, she said, "may not be paying attention to the loan rates because their mindset isn't on paying it back, but instead just getting through the semester with good grades. I feel sorry for them because the job market is flooded with educated workers, and if you are hired you will likely be paid less than you deserve. Paying back the loans with a higher interest rate will be like signing up for a 30-year fixed mortgage. It seems like it never ends."
Enorense said Congress should definitely keep the rate low.
"It will give students from all economic backgrounds a chance to higher education. With globalization threatening our job market, everyone needs the opportunity for education so they can compete. If it is too expensive, many will forfeit their chance," she said.
In response to the president's tour, GOP challenger Mitt Romney got out his Etch-a-Sketch and changed his position on the pending hike. He now opposes it. Yet, House Republicans are balking at extending the 2007 interest rate cut, saying the $6 billion cost would be a burden to taxpayers.
That is short sighted, critics say.
"Republicans would rather pile that burden on the backs of taxpayers-to-be, specifically the 7.4 million students who now have federally subsidized Stafford loans and the millions more who will need them," writes The New York Times in an April 24 editorial.
"House Republicans are far more interested in cutting taxes, largely for the rich, than they are in helping low- and middle-income students get a college education," the editors said.

MEETING ABSTRACT. 2001. Technical Abstract: Excess P reaching surface waters through soil erosion, water runoff, and subsurface water flow produces eutrophication. The P Index will help conservation planners and land users to assess the risk of P reaching surface water from fields and to make management decisions to reduce that risk. The Iowa P Index provides a relative risk rating that can be used to prioritize fields for nutrient and soil management practices. Source factors are arranged in a multiplicative manner within three components representing transport mechanisms: erosion (sediment loss), runoff (water loss), and subsurface drainage (water flow through tiles or coarse subsoil/substrata). The Index sums estimates of P delivery to get an overall estimate that is placed in one of 5 categories (very low to very high). The Index is intended to be part of the NRCS nutrient management planning process developed by the land user and resource planner and is not to be used as a regulatory tool. The current version will be tested and modified periodically as new research data become available.

WASHINGTON - Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) is making preparations for a Falcon 1 launch attempt that could occur as soon as Sept. 23, according to an update posted on the Hawthorne, Calif.-based rocket company's Web site.
"If preparations go smoothly, we will conduct a static fire on Saturday [Sept. 20] and launch sometime between Tuesday [Sept. 23] and Thursday [Sept. 25]," SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk wrote in an update posted Sept. 19. "The SpaceX team worked hard to make this launch window, but we also took the time to review data from Flight 3 in detail."
A Falcon 1 failed to reach orbit for the third consecutive time Aug. 3 when a staging issue brought the flight to an end about two minutes and 20 seconds into the flight. Musk said at the time that fixing the problem would be as simple as inserting more time between the separation of the rocket's first stage and the ignition of its second-stage engine.
Musk wrote in his update that it was possible SpaceX could encounter issues during the upcoming preparations that would cause the company to forfeit its late September launch window, forcing the company to postpone to the next available window in late October.
All three Falcon 1 launches have been conducted from the U.S. Army's Reagan Test Site in the central Pacific Ocean.

Litigation Alphabet Soup: IPO, AIG, KPMG
In a victory for Wall Street and a blow to Milberg Weiss, the Second Circuit ruled the lawsuit alleging fraud in the pricing of IPOs couldn't move forward as a class action. The case alleges that more than 50 Wall Street firms committed fraud by artificially inflating stock prices in IPOs that the firms underwrote during the tech bubble. The court said Judge Shira Scheindlin erred in her ruling that plaintiffs' claims were sufficiently similar to be grouped together. Now, two proposed settlements — a $1 billion payment from insurance proceeds and a $425 million settlement from J.P. Morgan — might be off the table.
"It's a great win," said Vince DiBlasi of Sullivan & Cromwell, which represents Goldman Sachs in the case. Mel Weiss (pictured, left), the lead plaintiffs' lawyer in the case, said banks could now be "swamped" with individual suits by some of the class members. He also lamented to the New York Times: I think the decision doesn't reflect a real understanding of how people get defrauded in our society. It's just sad that we don't have courts that will recognize the need for judicial approval mechanisms to hold these people accountable." Here's the 51-page opinion.
AIG and C.V. Starr & Co., a firm led by former AIG chief Hank Greenberg (pictured, left), are settling 18 lawsuits. Greenberg left AIG last year amid an accounting probe and has denied any wrongdoing in a resulting civil case. Some of the fighting was over trademark rights to the names "Starr" and "American International." Under the agreement, AIG won't use the Starr or related names in doing insurance business, and C.V. Starr won't use certain AIG-related names. Greenberg and his companies are represented by David Boies of Boies, Schiller & Flexner; AIG's lead attorney in the case is Michael Carlinsky of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges.
Criminal defense lawyers representing the former KPMGers accused of promoting questionable tax shelters have been receiving troves of documents from federal prosecutors relating to other investigations into tax-shelter fraud, reports the New York Times. The feds have turned over documents in several cases, according to a court filing, including documents related to an investigation of Deutsche Bank as well as those related to a former tax lawyer at Jenkens & Gilchrist. In his prosecutors were turning over the Deutsche Bank documents in part because the Deutsche Bank case had "substantial overlap" with the KPMG employees case, which prosecutors call the largest criminal tax case ever.

andquot;If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from the ground up, Smolin's Time Reborn will take you to the mountaintop.andquot; andmdash; NPR
What is time?
Itandrsquo;s the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will. Lee Smolin disagrees, and in Time Reborn he lays out the case why.
Recent developments in physics and cosmology point toward the reality of time and the openness of the future. Smolinandrsquo;s groundbreaking theory postulates that physical laws can evolve over time and the future is not yet determined. Newtonandrsquo;s fundamental laws may not remain so fundamental. Time Reborn serves as a popular primer and investigation of time, both what it is and how the true nature of it impacts our world.
andquot;He challenges not only Einsteinandrsquo;s relativity, but also the very notion of natural laws as immutable truths.andquot; andmdash; Economist
andldquo;One of the essential books of the twenty-first century . . . Smolin provides a much-needed dose of clarity about time, with implications that go far beyond physics to economics, politics, and personal philosophy.andrdquo; andmdash; Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not a Gadget
"Dazzling ideas….Read this book today to understand the science of tomorrow."—Steven Pinker
The bestselling author of Warped Passages, one of Time magazines "100 Most Influential People in the World," and one of Esquires "75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century," Lisa Randall gives us an exhilarating overview of the latest ideas in physics and offers a rousing defense of the role of science in our lives. Featuring fascinating insights into our scientific future born from the authors provocative conversations with Nate Silver, David Chang, and Scott Derrickson, Knocking on Heavens Door is eminently readable, one of the most important popular science books of this or any year. It is a necessary volume for all who admire the work of Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Brian Greene, Simon Singh, and Carl Sagan; for anyone curious about the workings and aims of the Large Hadron Collider, the biggest and most expensive machine ever built by mankind; for those who firmly believe in the importance of science and rational thought; and for anyone interested in how the Universe began…and how it might ultimately end.
Knocking on Heaven's Door also explores the role of risk, creativity, uncertainty, beauty, and truth in scientific thinking. Through provocative conversations with leading figures in other fields, including chef David Chang, forecaster Nate Silver, and screenwriter Scott Derrickson, and through reflections on her own work, Randall makes an impassioned argument in defense of science.

News 12 at 6 o'clock, October 19, 2007
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Places where people share equipment are breeding grounds for MRSA. That's why David Boyd makes sure his gym is spotless.
"You have a lot of people using the equipment. Everybody sweats and after a while it can cause bacterial infections, staph infections and other stuff you want to avoid," says Boyd.
So, to avoid germs David makes sure the equipment gets scrubbed down daily. It's also cleaned after each use and hand sanitizer is on every corner. It's all measures to kill germs and prevent infections.
Doctor Jim Wilde says sanitizing equipment is essential for avoiding MRSA infections.
"If you have athletic equipment, in particular things where there've been a lot of people congregating, there's more potential for it to be contaminated by somebody with MRSA," says Dr. Wilde
MRSA spreads through person to person contact and most people don't even know they have it.
"One of the more common mistakes people make is assuming this is a spider bite. If you think you have a wound on your arm that's tender and swollen and you think it's a spider bite, most likely it's not," says Wilde, "most likely it's MRSA."
Doctors say the treatment for it does not involve medicine most times.
"The treatment for MRSA is to open it up and let the pus out. Treating with antibiotics without letting pus out is a waste of time," explains Dr. Wilde.
But it's worth your time to remember the basics, wash your hands and be especially careful when you're in high contact areas.

Suspects Held Over Suicide Bombing In Somalia
Baidoa, December 03, 2006 – Several suspects were being held on Saturday in suspected connection with recent suicide attack in Baidoa where the Somali government is based.
Officials of the Somali transitional government said security has been tightened and they have arrested more than six people suspected of being involved in Thursday's suicide attack.
The Supreme Council of Islamic Courts (SCIC), which controls much of central and southern Somalia, has rejected accusations that it was behind the car bomb attack on Baidoa.
There are conflicting reports about what exactly happened on Thursday at a checkpoint, five km outside Baidoa.
One government official said a woman wearing a veil and two other people blew up their cars as police tried to inspect their vehicles. Other witnesses said only one car exploded and the force of the blast destroyed two other cars waiting behind it.
"There were flames everywhere," an eyewitness said.
The checkpoint is closely guarded by Somali authorities that keep close watch on those entering and leaving Baidoa.
Sources said that some "lightly-wounded" individuals were among the suspects being questioned by Baidoa police. The source said one of those arrested lost a leg in the explosion and another is a woman.
Police have tightened security around the town and several cars from the Islamist-held capital, Mogadishu, were not allowed to enter Baidoa.
Thursday's suicide bombing was only the second in a few months. Interim Somali President Abdillahi Yusuf survived a suicide car bomb attack in Baidoa two months ago, which killed his brother. He blamed that attack on his Islamist rivals, who denied responsibility.
The latest bombing was condemned by the UN top envoy to Somalia who said the incident has dampened hopes for the resumption of stalled peace talks between the government and the SCIC.
Francois Fall, UN Secretary General's special envoy for Somalia said he was dismayed by the incident.
"I am very concerned about this kind of attack because this is the second time in Baidoa and we do not know exactly who committed that act," he said.
However, the UN envoy said he still believes there is a chance for all sides to calm down and resume peace talks at the end of this month in Sudan. "We are talking to the government," Fall said.
"We are now in touch with the courts in Mogadishu and there are some other initiatives on the ground. All of us, we are working with the Arab League to enter in some meaningful dialogue because we believe dialogue is the key to security and power-sharing."

Where Close Only Counts LbNA # 32374
|Whirly-Girl Wanna Be
|Placed Date
|Jun 29 2007
|Alexandria, MN
|Found By
|Team K-Town
|Last Found
|Aug 22 2009
|Hike Distance
To find this letterbox, you must find the place in Alexandria where Close counts. To find this place, travel north from Alexandria with Hiawathas grandmother. She will bring you close to the spot. For the first part of the trip, the grandmother will become one with the number equal to the age of the oldest person Jerry Rubin trusted. On the north side of town, she will decide not to head toward the east, and she will become the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Make the change with her, and right away you will find yourself to the west of a Holiday. On the right side of the road will be a brown sign pointing you to your destination. Leave the Grandmother to travel north without you, and follow the directions on this sign. You want to find the place where the City lets you Park (at least from 8 am to 9:30 pm). If you avoid the Dead Ends, you will find a parking lot. Leave your vehicle, and walk toward the water. If you turn toward the place where Henry meets Agnes, you will walk past the swimming area, and come to the numbers in triangles. Just past the 7s, 8s, and 10s, you will reach your destination, and find the place where Close only Counts. In the middle of this place, there will be a two-trunked tree. Standing with your back to this tree, and facing the lake, you will see three trees at the shoreline. Walk to these trees, and look under the leaves, under one of the roots sticking out of the ground near the right-hand tree. That is where you will find the letterbox.

Our friends at Dime Magazine put together this dope list. Make sure to check out the Dime blog for NCAA previews, exclusive NBA coverage, and more.
Anybody who watches MSNBC's Lockup knows this much about prison etiquette: It's all about perception. You might come into the bing at 5'4" with a real pretty mouth, but if you create the perception right away that you're stone crazy, you can drop the soap all you want and not have to worry. Same rules apply in basketball. Guys only mess with you if you let them think they can, which is why Kobe Bryant is such a strange case. Despite being the illest player on the planet for the last decade, Kobe still regularly runs across opponents who treat him like a rookie. Of course, Jordan had his agitators, but by the time MJ was a few rings deep, they were fewer and farther between. Even the younger, less-decorated LeBron doesn't have as many guys going after his head. With Kobe, there still seems to be a perception around the League that he's soft and susceptible to mind games.
Over the weekend, Matt Barnes joined the rank and file of Kobe instigators. Although the Orlando Magic swingman was on the wrong end of a 34-point effort by Kobe, he had Kobe more frustrated than anybody has all year, and Barnes' team got the win. That got us thinking about the surprisingly long list of Kobe's most notorious agitators...
DIME SAYS: The feud peaked when Ray was in Seattle, and was briefly reignited when he joined the Celtics and beat Kobe in the '08 Finals. Back in '04, Kobe's first year without Shaq, Ray publicly questioned Kobe's leadership ability and predicted he would regret losing the big fella. "If Kobe doesn't see he needs two-and-a-half good players to be a legitimate playoff contender or win a championship, in about a year or two he'll be calling out to Jerry Buss that. 'We need some help in here,' or 'Trade me.' And we'll all be saying, 'I told you so.'" That led to an alleged threatening phone call from Kobe to Ray and some tense stare-downs on the court, but both guys have downplayed the rivalry ever since.
DIME SAYS: They're on the same side now, but Artest and Kobe have had their battles in the past. Things came to a head during the '09 playoffs, when Ron-Ron's Rockets gave the eventual champion Lakers a scare in the second round while Artest and Kobe traded elbows and technical fouls. In fairness, though, Ron doesn't discriminate towards Kobe. He'd act like a bully if he was playing against his auntie.
DIME SAYS: Maybe this should be the other way around, because no matter what Shaq may have said or did to ruin the relationship in L.A., it's hard to top Kobe name-dropping Shaq to the Colorado cops. After Shaq left the Lakers, the League and the media tried to force a Kobe/Shaq rivalry, which never really materialized. But while both sides say it's all good now, who can forget this?
DIME SAYS: Straight from Jay-Z's "If I shoot you I'm brainless, but if you shoot me you're famous" class photo, Raja's career would be utterly forgettable were it not for his run-ins with Kobe. Claiming he was only retaliating against Kobe's dirty tactics (apparently like this "elbow"), Raja made a name for himself in the '06 playoffs when he unleashed a clothesline on Kobe that Big Van Vader would've been proud of. Raja later called Kobe "pompous" and "arrogant" and said he didn't respect him, but Kobe only responded with the "I don't even know who this guy is" bit.
DIME SAYS: The Buster Douglas to Kobe's Mike Tyson, Childs has his own statue in the Kobe Haters Hall of Fame for what he did during a 2000 Knicks/Lakers game. Going face-to-chest with the taller Bryant, Childs popped Kobe with a quick one-two straight right and jab combo, then made some slick defensive moves to avoid whatever onslaught Kobe had planned. Kobe might have been able to get some revenge, but David Stern apparently had Childs sent to the same island as Jimmy Hoffa—he was rarely heard from again after that fight.

Fallout: New Vegas (PlayStation3)
From GameWinners
Walkthrough (Xbox 360)
Hollowed out rock locations
Unique weapons
Skill books
Alien Blaster location
- Created by krypton321.
- Get the Wild Wasteland Perk then find the Horowitz Farmstead. Once there, move north. You will find a hovering ship with three aliens nearby. If the leader sees you, they will all attack. Note: On the PC version, enable the tgm code to make this easier. Kill them and take the blaster from of one of them. It turns weaker enemies into ashes with one shot. Bosses require more hits. Note: Consider enabling God mode to get there for the first time and cannot fast travel due to the very powerful enemies on the way.
Chinese Stealth Armor location
In Hoover Dam, go into the offices. In the offices, there is a room somewhere with radiation signs around it. In the room are barrels of goo. To the left is a stack of crates. One of the crates contains the armor. There are two sets, so you can make repairs.
Euclid's C-Finder location
You can locate the field "gun" for the ARCHIMEDES weapon by entering the Freeside's East Gate and locating the two children chasing each other (not chasing the mutated rat) during daylight. Talk to the one possessing what appears to be a toy gun. You can purchase the gun for 1,000 caps or 20 caps with Barter at level 45 or greater. To use the weapon you must supply the power to ARCHIMEDES II during the "That Lucky Old Sun" mission.
Golden Boxing Gloves
Go to the Lucky 38 Casino. The Golden Boxing Gloves can be found at the VIP Bar above the cashier room, which is on the left side of the casino when you enter.
Love & Hate (Knuckles) location
In Bonnie Springs, north of Goodsprings (and somewhat east), there will be a Viper Gang Leader wielding Love & Hate Knuckles. They are quick and powerful. Note: Some of these Vipers have plasma grenades and grenade rifles (and sometimes the Trail Carbine).
Mercy grenade machinegun location
Go to Dead Wind Cavern, in the middle-south of the map. Inside are a lot of Deathclaws, including the Legendary Deathclaw. Go directly to the last section of the cave to where the Legendary Deathclaw is found. There should be a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin lying dead. Next to his body a grenade machine gun (40mm grenade) named "Mercy". The paladin has 40mm grenades and incendiary grenades. Note: Before you try to collect it, recruit two companions and get big guns for yourself and your partner, in addition to a lot of stimpaks.
Mysterious Revolver location
Go to the tops and start the quest "Talent Pool". Find the guitarist in the middle of nowhere. Ask him to join, and as a form of payment in the dialogue options he will give you a 44. revolver called "Mysterious Revolver", which makes the short songs you hear with the mysterious stranger when drawn and holstered. Note: This may require Barter skill 45+.
Spacesuit location
Go to the REPCONN rocket factory where the mission "Come Fly With Me" takes place. Go to the basement where Chris goes when they are about to launch the rocket and asks for spare parts. In this room to the left side as you enter is a shelf with an orange suit and a helmet that resembles a fish bowl. Pick them up. When you wear them they look like something out of a 1960's comic book. It gives a good amount of RAD resistance, but has a low DT and breaks easily.
Tesla Cannon Prototype location
Go to the crashed vertibird located at the south of the map, in about the middle. This will require two companions and a lot of firepower, or a couple of stealth boys and a high sneak skill. The crash is surrounded by hardened Sentrybots and hardened Mister Gutsies who are hostile towards you. Inside the wreck are some of skeletons and a Tesla Cannon with orange electricity inside (the core is orange). It has an after-effect of damage for awhile after being fired. Test it on the robots or the ghouls from the nearby nuclear crater.
Thump-Thump location
Thump-Thump is found in the location where all the ants are found, underneath the solar panels when you help the Boomers. It is a grenade launcher.
Easy experience points
- Gamble in a casino and play roulette. No matter if you win or lose, you will gain 100 experience points.
- You must have good Speech skill for this trick. At Camp McCarran, talk to Angela Williams, in the science lab. Choose the "I have some questions for you." followed by the, "What's your role here?" option. After she answers, choose the "What do you think of Dr. Hildren?" option. After she answers, choose "[Speech 25] He seemed focused on results. Maybe not so much on people." You will get 28 experience points each time you do this, and it can be repeated.
Easy Caps
Go to the Gun Runners store on the east side of New Vegas. It has a locked fence and several guards blocking the entrance to the "factory". Pick the lock, and the Gun Runners will begin shooting at you. Kill them and loot their bodies for Combat Armor, Hunting Rifles and Combat Helmets. Each Gun Runner has between 1,500 to 2,000 Caps worth of items on their body. Enter the building to find more Gun Runners to kill. After doing this, go to the Vend-Tron robot at the Gun Runner shop, and sell it your loot. The robot will have 8,000 Caps to purchase the items. Travel far away, wait for three days, then return to the store. The Gun Runners will have respawned and you can repeat the process.
Winning at Caravan
A Caravan deck has a minimum of 30 cards that can be purchased from merchants or looted from dead bodies. They goal is to choose those cards that will get you between 22 and 26 consistently, while also giving you defensive cards to use against your opponent. Get the following cards: 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s, 6s, Kings, Jacks, Aces, and two Jokers. The Jacks, Aces and Jokers are defensive plays. Use Jacks to remove cards from your opponent. An Ace and Joker played will remove all cards of your Ace's suit. For example, an Ace of Spades and a Joker will remove all spades from the table. Kings will double whatever they are placed on. For example, 6 + King + King = 24. Start by laying down your highest or lowest cards first to start the "base" of your caravan. Note: Do not use 10 + 9 + 8 because it results in 27; or 6 + 7 + 8 because it results in 21 (unless you put your Ace down after the 8 to make it 22). Every play between those are a winner. You can get nearly unlimited items and Caps by playing Caravan. Find vendors with lots of Caps and items. Buy all the items you can afford from them, then challenge them to a few games of Caravan to win back all your money.
Snow globe locations
Created by krypton321.
Missing explosive skill book
Every Skill has a designated skill book. One seems to be missing. There seems to be only three explosive skill books where there are supposed to be four. This last skill book can be found on the desk in the office of the "Ranger Station Foxtrot". The other three can be found in "Nellis Air Force Base", "Sloan", and "Mojave Outpost".
Switching ammunition
Xbox 360 When you have more than one type of ammunition for a gun (for example, 9mm or 9mm hollow point), press Up and your character will switch ammo types for that weapon.
When you want to steal something and it is in the owner's direct line of sight, use the Grab function and drag it around a corner. Use sneak to make sure that you are now hidden from their view. You can now steal the object without fear of retaliation. You will still lose karma but they will not try to kill you.
The cases you get are where the ammo gets filled into on the reloading table. The hulls are the outside of the guns themselves. The lead is the metal that makes the bullet itself. The powder is for the ammo (goes inside of the cases). The primer is the object that is pushed into the bullet in the bottom to close it up on the reloading table.
Killing people without bad karma
Get a large object that you can push or pick up. Drop it next to a standing NPC that is not leaning against a wall, doing push-ups, or sitting. Run against the object and it will damage the NPC without becoming them becoming hostile or you losing reputation. Repeat this until the target is dead. Note: You may take some damage, and the object may fly away.
Easy Cottonwood Cove clearing
Go to the Cottonwood Overlook. Get closer to Cottonwood Cove and you will see a truck leaning over the edge filled with irradiated barrels. If you have Lockpick 50, you can open the door and flood the town with radiation, killing all the soldiers and the slaves (including Aurelius of Phoenix, the centurion). Note: You do not lose Karma, gain any reputation, the NPCs do not become hostile and Cursor (the person who takes you to the fort) puts on an advanced radiation suit, and thus survives and is the only one in the outposts remaining.
Easy "Blast Mastery", "Lead Dealer", or "New Vegas Samurai", or "Old-Tyme Brawler" achievements or trophies
Recruit Lily Bowen as your partner. Her "Stealth Girl" perk allows your Stealth Boys to last 200% longer. Get two or three Stealth Boys. You will also need a corresponding powerful gun, energy weapon, melee weapon, or unarmed weapon. Note: Using a silenced weapon will lengthen the time required to earn "Lead Dealer", as your damage output will be lower. Consider using Pew Pew if you are trying to earn "Blast Mastery". After asking Lily to follow you, equip a powerful weapon but keep it hidden. Enter a crowded location, such as Vikki and Vance's casino in Primm, or King's School of Impersonation on the Strip. Have Lily remain outside or at the entrance of your selected location to prevent her from hitting people if you are detected. Save the game. Use a Stealth Boy and crouch. As long as you remain crouched, Lily will stay invisible. Begin attacking people in the back individually. If done correctly, they will not see you or get suspicious. This will also allow you to get more critical hits. After clearing out your location, have Lily follow you and go to another place and repeat the process. Reload your original save after earning "Lead Dealer" to get your expended resources back.
Easy "Artful Pocketer" achievement or trophy
This trick can be done before or after you have cleared the quests in Nipton. Inside the Nipton General Store is an NPC named "Boxcar". Because the Legion has broken his legs, he cannot chase after you have picked his pocket, nor will he fight back. You can repeatedly enter and exit out of the general store if caught and place items in Boxcar's inventory, then steal them back until you have earned the achievement or trophy. If you do not want infamy with the Powder Gangers, create a new saved game before doing this trick.
Easy "Caravan Master" achievement or trophy
- While traveling the desert, purchase every 6, 10, Jack, and King you can. Kings double the card they are placed on. For example, if you start with a 10 and place a King on it, it becomes a 20. Then, place a 6 on top and that pile is done. Repeat the process for the other two piles. Jacks forces a player to discard whatever card it is placed on. You can use Jacks to delay your opponent or remove Kings that CPU may have put on your piles to set your count over 26. Other combinations to reach 26 within three cards also works well. For example, an 8, 9, and King. If your opponent seems to have a lot of face cards, skip them and find an easier challenge. Many traders will play Caravan if asked.
- Choose all the 7s, 9s, and 10s at the card selection screen because they add up to 26. Afterwards choose all the Queens and Kings. For the remaining cards, consider using Aces and Jacks as they are only throwaway cards. Play either 7 or 10 as your starting card for each caravan. However because the draws are random, you may be forced to play a 9. This is where the Queen is important, because it reverses the order in which you can play card. The King doubles the point value of any card it is placed on. It is best used when your opponent has a full caravan of either 25 or 26, although it can also be played on one of 21 or higher because it will force your opponent to get rid of the caravan.
Easy "The Courier Who Broke the Bank" achievement or trophy
The three casinos, Gomorrah, The Tops and Ultra-Luxe, will ban you from gambling at their tables after you reach a certain amount of winnings. The limit is 9,000 for Gomorrah, 10,000 for the Tops and 15,000 for Ultra-Luxe. Play as a character with very high Luck and play blackjack, which is affected greatly by that stat. You can usually double down safely on a 19 because the game is lenient. You can also play slots or roulette, which can give you much bigger wins at a less reliable rate.
Easy "Curios and Relics" achievement or trophy
All weapons that have a "name" and not just a description are considered unique. A few that fit this category are as follows (in addition to many Prototypes or similar weapons).
- Maria: Benny's 9mm gun.
- Ghenna: A special flame sword that can be purchased at the Gunrunners arsenal.
- Arianna: A rocket launcher carried by one of Tabitha's Supermutants.
- Lucky: A .357 magnum revolver found in the safe in Primm.
- One method is to reach at least level 20 and do the "Radio Black Mountain" quest. The Arianna can deal several hundred points of damage per shot.
- If your character is skilled with close combat and you have between 10,000 and 20,000 spare bottlecaps (depending on your Barter skill), you can purchase Ghenna earlier in the game.
- If you skilled with Laser and Plasma weapons, consider the "Q-35 Matter Modulator" found in Vault 22 to complete the task. The "AER14 prototype" laser gun found while completing the Brotherhood of Steel main quest when searching for the missing brothers can also be used.
- Visit Gun Runners and purchase Esther (GRA) and some Mini Nukes. Then, find a location where a lot of enemies are grouped together, such as Black Mountain or Crashed Vertibird. Hit them with the Mini Nukes and Esther.
Most of the other unique weapons are not powerful enough to accumulate 10.000 damage.
Easy "Desert Survivalist" achievement or trophy
- Wasteland Omelettes are the food item that restores the most health. However when not at full health in Hardcore mode, you can eat as many health replenishing items as desired and they will qualify. After accumulating Wasteland Omelettes, find a location where you can drink as much water as desired. Damage yourself, then start eating. Do not eat too many in a single session or the food will make your water level rise to a fatal level. Note: The higher your Survival skill the less Wasteland Omelettes will be needed.
- Go to The Gourmand in the Ultra-Luxe. Purchase all the food from the food supplier, who will get new stock each Wednesday and Sunday. Enter the Bathhouse in the same building and intentionally drown to drop your health. Eat all your food and repeat the process.
Easy "ED-Ecated" achievement or trophy
The ED-E upgrades can be found at the following locations.
- Hopeville silo bunker: In the hallway just after unlocking the silo doors.
- Hopeville Missile Base HQ: Under a desk.
- Ashton silo control station: Behind a locked door in the level 1 silo. Hack the hard difficulty terminal next to it.
- Municipal sewers connected to the Third Street Municipal Building offices: Enter the pipe found at the northwest side of the building.
- Near the Cave of the Abaddon: Go behind the warhead southeast of the cave entrance. After detonating the warhead, it can be found on the ground to the northeast of the pipe's top opening. The warhead as already destroyed, fast travel to the Cave of Abaddon and turn back to the outside. You should see a fallen sign with red letters on the left. Climb up the debris to find it.
Easy "Globe Trotter" achievement or trophy
The snowglobes can be found at the following locations.
- Goodsprings: Go to Goodsprings Cemetery. Locate the second grave to the west of the Courier's open grave, at the northern edge of the cemetery near the water tower. This grave has rubble on top. The snow globe can be found in the rubble in front of the marker.
- Hoover Dam: Go to the Hoover Dam visitor center. It is on the welcome desk.
- Old Mormon Fort (Freeside): Enter the fort, go to the western corner, and enter the door to the tower. The snow globe is upstairs on a shelf.
- Jacobstown: Go to Jacobstown lodge. The snow globe is on the reception desk.
- Nellis Air Force Base: Enter the Nellis Boomer Museum. The snow globe is on the table to the right, immediately after entering.
- Lucky 38, Cocktail Lounge: Enter the cocktail lounge inside the Lucky 38 Casino. The snow globe is on the counter behind the middle cash register with a green lamp next to it. You must first speak to Mr. House to reach this area.
- Vault 21: Enter the Vault 21 Hotel. Search the nightstand in Sarah's locked room in the northeast corner of Vault 21, next to the buyable room. Sarah can be pickpocketed for the keys if needed.
Easy "Hardcore" achievement or trophy
Do this while working for Ceasar's Legion, because they specialize in Unarmed and Melee and you will not need to carry a lot of ammunition. This is because ammunition has weight in Hardcore mode. Trying to earn "Hardcore" synergizes with earning Desert Survivalist as well. This is because you need to actually drink water to avoid dehydration, and the water also counts as food. Make sure you always have some water as well as food or Stimpaks.
Easy "Jury Rigger" achievement or trophy
As you progress, your weapons and armor will degrade. Obtain another of the same item that was worn. Access the PIP-Boy and go to the weapon or armor to be repaired. A prompt will appear in the top right corner, allowing you to repair or maintain that item. Select the repair option, then choose the item to be scrapped for parts.
Easy "The Legend of the Star" achievement or trophy
Complete "The Legend of the Star" quest by turning in fifty Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps to Festus at the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters. It will automatically fail afterwards. Festus will give you a second quest named "A Valuable Lesson". Complete that quest.
Easy "Love the Bomb" achievement or trophy
Although using a Fatman or another atomic weapon is ideal for earning this achievement or trophy, there is a less costly method. Reach at least level 20 and do the "Radio Black Mountain" quest. You will be able to use Arianna (special rocket-launcher) which does several hundred points of damage per shot.
Easy "Master of the Arsenal" achievement or trophy
Deal damage with any weapon with the GRA tag on its name. If you have the caps, you can do this quickly by first saving the game. Go to Gun Runners and purchase the Fat Man (GRA) and all the Mini-nukes (all the types) to the Automatron. Depending on your Barter skill, this may cost about 20,000 caps. Next, go somewhere with a large concentration of strong enemies such as the Strip, Camp McCarran, Camp Forlon Hope, The Fort, Vault 3 entrance, Brotherhood of Steel bunker, etc. Aim and fire your weapon at the ground with a parabolic trajectory. After the nuke hits the ground, a small mushroom cloud will kill everything within its radius. The more enemies caught in the blast, the more damage it does. Done correctly, this will result in 2,000 to 3,000 damage. Have Stimpacks and Rad-Away available to deal with the survivors. The explosion is heavily radioactive, and can also kill you if you are caught in it. Repeat the process as many times as needed. Note: Some Mini-nukes types are chronometred and will explode only after some time has passed. Others may resemble a scrap musket, firing multiple small fireballs. After "Master of the Arsenal" is earned, reload your saved game to avoid any unintended effects.
Easy "Master of the Mojave" achievement or trophy
You will find almost all the locations while following the storyline. For the others, enter areas of the map you have barely explored and go to the white outlined triangles on your compass. Note: There is a huge cluster of locations in Vegas. The level 20 perk, Explorer is also a helpful option.
Easy "Mod Master" achievement or trophy
- Use the following steps if you did not install enough mods during the normal progression of the game. At least 80,000 caps will be required. Go to the Gun Runners shop. Display your Pip-Boy, select "Stats", then "General", then the "General" tab at the top right corner to check how many weapon mods have been installed up to this point. Save the game. Purchase mods for the weapons you already own and fully mod them. If needed, reload the saved game if expensive mods were not compatible. If desired, save the game in a new slot. Next, purchase mods for weapons you do not have yet, but can be also be purchased at the Gun Runner's shop which are usually guns, melee weapons and explosives. After purchasing those weapons from the Gun Runner's shop, reload your most recent saved game if the mods were not compatible with the correct weapons and vice versa. After earning "Mod Master", you can reload the original save made before spending any of your caps on the mods.
- Mods can be acquired from several traders in the wasteland. They can then be added to weapons through your Pip-Boy. Each gun can hold up to three mods. This must be done during the same playthrough. You can do this immediately after completing "The Courier Who Broke the Bank" mission as you will now have a large amount of money. The Gun Runners have a good supply of mods to purchase.
Easy "Ol' Buddy Ol' Pal" achievement or trophy
The first recruit-able companion, if you follow the storyline, will be Boone. You will eventually reach Novac, where you can find Boone in the dino's mouth in the late evening hours. Finish the quest for him and he will follow you.
Easy "Old-Tyme Brawler" achievement or trophy
Build up a lot of STR from the start and join Ceasar's Legion, because they specialize in Unarmed and Melee. You will not have much trouble finding weapons.
Easy "Outstanding Orator" achievement or trophy
When your Speech is at 40, go to Camp Golf, by Lake Las Vegas. Accept the quest from the sergeant. Agree to O'Hanran's method and convince everyone, with Mags being the last. After convincing Mags to play nice, accept her method and go to the gun range. Help them with their guns (45 skill required), and wait for them to start walking back to their tent. Talk to Razz and ask about squadmates. The speech challenge should still be there. You can easily unlock the "Outstanding Orator" achievement or trophy, as well as experience points in increments of 40. When you are done, talk to the sergeant to complete the quest or talk to O'Hanran and ask about the squad. Note: You have the option of helping them with explosives after the guns.
Easy "Pros Only" achievement or trophy
There are five three-star challenges. Consider doing the following three to earn "Pros Only".
- Armed for Bear: Level up Melee or Unarmed a lot, and take a perk which knocks enemies down. There are a lot of NCR troops around. If their title does not include "Private" or "Sergeant", they will count. The six Ranger stations have eleven of them. There are five in McCarran, four at the Dam, and three at the Outpost. It is easiest to go around the Ranger stations at a low level and kill them. Most settlements have at least one named NCR soldier. If you are Legion-aligned and male, you can kill a Ranger one-on-one in the arena. Any weapon , for example the machete, will work well.
- Man-Machine Interface: Use any weapon skill you have leveled up, hunt robots. There are Mr. Gutsys scattered around the Mojave, including locations such as Nellis Air Force Base, New Vegas Steel (the Mr. Steel variants will qualify), and the house in Nipton with the prototype Gutsy. REPCONN Headquarters is also a very good place to farm kills. Setting off the alarm on each floor will spawn four Sentry Bots per floor. However, Sentry Bots are very durable and your weapon may break when used against them. Most of the Gutsy locations will respawn after three days.
- Against All Tyrants: Almost all named Legion troops are at the Fort. It can be difficult to assault if you are low to mid level. A high Guns stat is required use the Service or Hunting Rifle effectively.Consider taking out Cottonwood Cove (four of them are there), then dealing with assorted Legion troops around the Wasteland. Named troops can be found in Nelson, Techatticup Mine, Red Rock Canyon and Camp McCarran. Note: Silus counts, but you must have a high NCR reputation to get in there with him, then bring him out to use one of the eligible weapons. Note that NPCs will not leave the Fort, even if angered.
Easy "Stim-ply Amazing" achievement or trophy
After accumulating a large number of stimpacks, go to the lake with the sunken bomber. Repeatedly drown yourself to near death, then use a stimpack. Repeat the process as many times as needed.
Easy "Talent Pool" achievement or trophy
Enter the lounge at The Tops then speak with Swank. He will suggest that you speak with Tommy Torini. Tommy will ask you to recruit four unspecified new acts. He will offer 3% of the cut, but with a Barter of 50 you can increase this to 5%. All four marks will appear on your world map. Billy Knight is encountered just outside of The Tops. Hadrian can be found in the Atomic Wrangler. Bruce Issac is on the second floor of the Dino Dee-lite. The Lonesome Drifter can be found near El Dorado Gas & Service. After recruiting all of them, return to the Aces at The Tops and speak with Tommy.
Easy "Up to the Challenge" achievement or trophy
Complete three of the one star Gun Runners' challenges.
- A Slave Obeys: Kill Mr. House with a 9 Iron or Nephi's Golf Driver. (0/1) You can kill Mr. House in three quest lines (Yes Man, NCR and Legion). The Nelphi's Golf Driver is a unique weapon, however the 9 Iron is much more common. You can get one at Nipton, Freeside or Yangtze Memorial. It is also dropped by Fiends.
- Benefit Or a Hazard: Kill Robots with 5.56mm Pistols. (0/15)
- Ne Ne Ne Ne...: Cripple Right Arms with Shotguns. (0/5) Target the right arm of an enemy on VATS and get it crippled. Depending on your shotgun, guns skill, and the type of enemy, it require a few shots to get it crippled. However while facing weak enemies, one or two shots should be enough.
- Overkill: Kill Animals with any Fat Man or Fat Mines. (0/20)
- The Same Could Be Said of All Religious Weapons: Kill Feral Ghouls with Maria, Gehenna, and Holy Frag Grenades. (0/15) Acquire Maria from Benny, because it is the easiest of them all. Make sure you have a large amount of ammunition and go to the area between Primm and the Mojave Outpost (with the statue of soldiers shaking hands), or to the nuclear testing site south of Nipton. You will find large numbers of ghouls at those locations. They are taken down easily with one or two headshots. Make sure no companions are with you to prevent kill stealing.
- You Don't Belong In This World!: Kill Abominations with Katanas, Dynamite, Machetes, Throwing Spears, Throwing Knives, and Throwing Hatchets. (0/10)
Easy "The Whole Gang's Here" achievement or trophy
There are eight possible companions, most of which require you to finish a quest to recruit them.
- Arcade: Found in Old Mormon Fort. You can use a speech challenge, a quest, or low intelligence to recruit Arcade. However, do not favor Ceasar's Legion.
- Boone: Found in Novac. Finish the quest for him. Note: He will not join you if you favor Ceasar's Legion.
- Cassidy: Found in Mojave outpost. Work for Crimson Caravan and eventually she will follow you. Take note about having low karma.
- ED-E: Found in Primm, in the Mojave Express building where Johnson Nash lives. He will follow you after fixing him.
- Lily: Found in Jacobstown. Speak to her. Note: You may first need to finish the quest for Doctor Henry, also located in Jacobstown.
- Raul: Found in Black Mountain, in prison building. Speak to him and he will join you.
- Rex: Found in Freeside. He is King's dog. Work for King and he will eventually give you quest after which you will be able to keep Rex.
- Veronica: Found at 188 Trading Post. She will join you after you speak with her for awhile. Note: do not insult the Brotherhood of Steel in front of her.
Easy "You Run Barter Town" achievement or trophy
At the end of most of the DLCs, you will have unique high value items. Selling them will usually allow you to earn enough caps. For example, at the end of Honest Hearts, you will get a box with unique weapons and armor. In Dead Money inside the Sierra Madre vault are several gold bars. Sneak out of the Vault to avoid fighting anything after dropping your items to make room for the gold bars.
Grease reference
On the quest to find "escorts" for the atomic wrangler, you must find a robot and reprogram it. The robot is called "FISTO". After exiting the building, if you have the Wild Wasteland trait you will encounter three women in pink dresses calling themselves the Pink Ladies.
Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull reference
Created by krypton321.
Go south on the road out of Goodsprings. After about 100 yards you will find a refrigerator at the base of a hill. There is a skeleton wearing a fedora inside.

Monty Python's Life Of Brian reference
Take the Weird And Wacky trait at the start of the game, then go to Cottonwood Cove. Go to behind the office of Aurelius of Phoenix. Notice that "Romanes eunt Domus" is written in red see on the walls. This is a reference to Monty Python's Life Of Brian, when he is asked to write "Romans go home" on the palace walls in Latin and gets it wrong.
Star Wars reference
Go to the town of Nipton. Walk to the right of the town hall's front entrance to find a burned out building, with a pair of burned corpses in front. The view resembles the scene from Star Wars where Luke Skywalker finds the bodies of his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.
Unlimited caps
- In Guardian Peak you will meet an NCR soldier who is wounded. Through some Speech checks, you can get him to give you his gun for escorting him out of the cave that he is in. When you get to the entrance of the cave with him in tow, he will speak and you can continually ask for his rifle, which he will give you along with ammunition. Note: This is best done after earning the perk that allows for over encumbered fast travel.
- Note: This requires the unpatched version of the game. Begin going through the storyline, once you get to Prim and complete the quest there, leave for awhile and return. You will be able to gamble. In order to gamble you must purchase chips. Go to the cashier at the Vikki & Vance Casino. Purchase as many chips as possible with any of the three types of money (Caps, NCR, and Legionaries). Once you have the chips, save the game normally (not by auto-save). Note: Each chip is worth one cap, so you can trade all the chips back for a full refund if needed. Once your game is saved, talk to the cashier again and select the fourth option (something similar to "Cash in my chips"). She will ask what form of payment you want. Pick any option desired, then quickly exit the conversation. This should have given you as much of the form of money you requested that equals to chips. Caps are 1 chip to 1 cap. NCR are 8 chips to $20 and 40 chips to $100, and Legionaries are 4 chips to one Denarius, 20 chips for a Dalhali, and 100 chips for a Aureus. Once you have exited the conversation, check your inventory. You should have the money and the chips still in your possession. Talk to the cashier and repeat the trick. If you want to get higher amounts at a time, do the trick with caps a few times, then buy 1,000 chips for 1,000 caps about five or six times.
- After completing the Sexbot quest, go to the atomic wrangler and talk to Fisto. Choose the "Maybe later" response to get 10 caps. You can continue to do this as many times as desired. With enough time and patience you can accumulate a large amount of caps.
Xbox 360 Created by spilteam4.
- Go to any salesman and press Select. Wait one hour to force an auto save. Go the "Memory" option in the system menu, then select "Hard Drive" and find the auto save file. Copy it to a memory card. Go to your memory card and copy it back to the hard drive. Load the game and start. You should be at the salesman. Do not buy or sell anything yet. Wait one hour to force another auto save. Quit and start the game again. Sell or buy anything. Wait one hour, quit, and start over. The salesman's inventory and money will have reset. Repeat the process as many times as desired.
Unlimited experience
- Note: This requires at least a 35 Medicine skill. Once your character gains access to the main strip, find Victor outside the Lucky 38 casino. He will tell you that Mr. House wants to meet you. Follow him inside and go up the elevator. Speak with Mr. House (the giant television face that looks like Howard Hughes). Find the dialogue choice pertaining to needing to ask him a few questions. Then, ask "Who exactly are you, Mr. House?", then select "You appear to be a computer, not a man". After that, select the Medicine skill check response, "The lifespan you're claiming is impossible, except for ghouls and super mutants." After that, you will be awarded 35 experience points (or 39 experience points if you have the Swift Learner perk). You can repeat this as many times as desired.
- This trick yields unlimited experience, Stimpacks and doctor's bags. Get access to Helios One Power Station and have the quest "That Lucky Old Sun". When you have the option to choose how to reroute the power, select to do full region (emergency output level). Go out and re-aim the solar array panels, then return to Ignacio. Tell him you overpowered the station. He will reward you with 350 experience points, three Stimpacks, and two doctor's bags. The option will remain in place allowing you to do this repeatedly as many times as desired.
- Upon meeting Mr. House the first time, in "The House Always Wins, I" mission, he will ask you to get his chip. If you have 50 Barter when he tells you the deal is 1,000 caps, refuse it. Keep refusing his offers after bartering until he tells you to come back. After you talk to him again, select the following choices: "Tell me your terms again?", then the Barter 50 choice "The chip is worth far more than that", then "Still not interested", and repeat.
Monorail entry
In Camp McCarran where the monorail directly to the strip is located, you can gain entry to the monorail. Take the long way around and stay as close to the vending machines as possible. Follow the wall around the back way. Make sure the other soldier has his back to you. Crouch and sneak up to this soldier. You may hear the phrase indicating that if you get any closer they will have to shoot you. However, as long as you remain hidden, it may flash "Detected" briefly for a few times. As soon as you are close enough to the door, you can go through it and take a monorail directly to the strip. This may require a few attempts. Be careful when returning to the monorail from the strip. You will probably be shot. However as soon as you enter the monorail it resets, and you can again ride it back to the strip. By using this trick you can bypass many annoyances and quests, and can skip directly to meeting Mr. House and finding the person who shot you.
Free repairs
By using this method, it is possible to repair any and all items to the player's current repair level without using any of you caps. To do this you, need the Confirmed Bachelor perk and enough caps to cover the repair cost of the item. When you arrive at the Mohave Outpost to get the pardon for the new sheriff of Primm, during the conversation with Major Knight a Confirmed Bachelor speech option is available. Select it, and whenever you do repairs through him, the item gets repaired to your repair level but the caps do not get deducted from your stockpile. This can be very useful when combined with any unlimited caps trick, and results in your player having all items at 100% condition (even things like the Fat Man, where replacement parts are difficult to find).
Replenish ammunition
In the unpatched version of the game, wait in front of the gun runners for two to three days. The ammo, upgrades, and almost everything else will be restocked. This also works at Van Graffs. The items and amounts seem to be random.
Enemies catch on fire without firing weapon
Use the .50 machine gun incendiary ammunition on the anti-materiel rifle. Target an enemy with V.A.T.S. The enemy will catch on fire, even if you do not fire the weapon.
No reset timer for roulette games
Actively play roulette. While doing so, load your last saved game. If done correctly, you should be able to immediately play roulette again after loading the saved game. This is useful for minimizing the amount of lost chips and maximizing winnings. Note: This was done at the Ultra Luxe.
Start with two 9mm SMGs
In the beginning of the game when you are being awakened by Doctor Mitchell, when you test at the Vit-o-matic, move your intelligence to 10, or when you choosing skills, choose Repair. Note: You need at least 25 points in Repair. Go to the Sunset Sasparilla crate with the broken 9mm SMG and pick it up. Repair it while repeatedly tapping [Confirm/Activate]. You will be able to repair it again. The game will glitch and you will obtain 20 experience points as well as two 9mm SMGs.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) -- The board of Northwestern Michigan College is considering whether to start making video recordings of its meetings after many years of relying solely on written notes.
The community college's board is scheduled to meet Monday morning to discuss the change. The college board also doesn't use audio recordings.
Board member Cheryl Gore Follette tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle that she asked to put the question of recording meetings on the board's Monday study session agenda. She says "having the meeting recorded would be helpful for everyone" and would help her in cases where her memory fails her.
The board has discussed recording its meetings several times. Board member Kennard Weaver says he opposes recordings because they "can stifle full discussion."
