Deleting old iCloud Backups
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I recently upgraded to the new iPhone, so on I backed my old one up and restored it to the new one. Now I keep getting notifications that I'm running out of storage in iCloud. If I select the option to delete the backup from my old iPhone from iCloud will that also erase the stuff from my phone?
- Cady
A: The short answer is no—deleting your old iPhone backup from iCloud is completely safe and won't affect any of the data on your actual iPhone. In fact, even deleting the backup of your current iPhone won't have any impact on what's actually on your device. The information stored in your iCloud Backups is just that—a backup, or copy, of what is currently on your iPhone.
You can remove any device backup stored in iCloud by going into your iOS Settings app and selecting iCloud, Storage & Backup and then Manage Storage. This will display a list of all of the device backups stored in iCloud, with the device you're currently using listed at the top and indicated as such. Selecting any backup by tapping on it will display the backup size, date and time the backup was last made, and a "Delete Backup" button at the bottom. Selecting the backup for the device you're using will display additional options for configuring what to back up, but if you scroll down the "Delete Backup" button can still be found at the bottom of the list.
While removing this backup will not affect anything on your device, it will leave you without a backup until another one is made, so it's a good idea to not delete your old backup until you're in a position to make backup from your new device. As long as you're on a Wi-Fi network, you can make an iCloud Backup on demand at any time simply by tapping the "Back Up Now" button at the bottom of the iCloud Storage & Backup screen.
It's a good idea to do this manually immediately after you delete your old iCloud backup to ensure that you have a current backup of your data just in case. Once you've made this initial backup, your device will continue to be backed up to iCloud automatically one every 24 hours as long as your device is plugged in and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Note that you can also make an on-demand backup to your computer using iTunes at any time, even if you normally use iCloud for automatic backups. Simply connect your iPhone to your Mac or Windows PC and click the "Back Up Now" button on the Summary screen for your device. This will make an extra, one-time backup to your computer and can be useful as an extra precaution if you're really concerned about not having a current backup, especially if you're having problems backing up to iCloud or don't have a Wi-Fi connection readily available to make an iCloud backup.

Staal was named #1 two years ago.
Mirtle ranks every defenceman who plays in defensive situations by the quality of players they face (QCMP) and how many goals against they are on the ice for at even strength and while shorthanded.
…good thing Mirtle's list doesn't include game costing giveaways from last night in his list.

WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Opera Software today announced a major expansion in Silicon Valley, by growing its presence through a brand-new office in San Mateo, doubling headcount and tripling office space within the past year. Opera and its subsidiaries are now covering the expanse of the San Francisco Bay area with offices in San Francisco, San Mateo and Mountain View.
The expansion to the new floor in Opera's San Mateo location will bring the total square footage of Opera's U.S. office space to 60,000 square feet – up from 20,000 square feet a year ago. Opera and its subsidiaries now employ 200 employees in Silicon Valley – double from the same time last year. This number is expected to reach 300 in 2014.
Much of the growth for Opera in California is coming through Opera Mediaworks, its mobile advertising subsidiary, where revenue grew by more than 100% in Q2 2013 compared to the same time last year. The addition of Skyfire, the mobile cloud-based solutions provider, which Opera acquired earlier this year, was another major step in the rapid expansion of Opera Software in Silicon Valley.
In the past year, Opera Software and its subsidiaries in California:
"Silicon Valley has become one of Opera's most strategic locations to do business and grow our talent base," says Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. "We realize the importance and influence Silicon Valley has on how we power the global mobile ecosystem, including how we help consumers to discover content, advertisers to reach the audience they are looking for, publishers to generate revenue and operators to provide a faster and better network experience.

LIAN LI PC-90 The Hammer Review
The build
Published: 24th April 2012 | Source: LIAN LI | Price: £155.76 |
The Build
Building into the PC-90 is an unusual experience. Not actually difficult so much as different. This unusual experience is generated I think as a result of a the case having an unusual combination of genuinly useful (if not slightly odd) features and an relative absence of some of the things we've very much come to expect and take for granted, especially in a case of this pedigree and price.
With the struts removed to gain access tot he inside of the case the first job is to install the motherboard. Now I've installed a few of these in my time, and this particular motherboard more times than I care to think about. Without fail when building a PC the thing I find most annoying and fiddly are the motherboard screws. Forever failing to engage in the hole or slipping into little nooks and crannies. Well the boys at Lian Li have answered my prayers and done away with the classic Motherboard screw, instead replacing them with long thin thumb bolts. The bolts have a cross head on the top so that after you've placed them easily by hand and started the thread off they can be gently tightened down. Lian Li even include some longer ones to help get at the harder to get at places.
With the Motherboard in place it's time to install the PSU. again a pleasant experience as a result of the removable rear mounting plate. The PSU slides easily into position resting on the soft rubber isolation pads. Next comes what I would normally call cable management, but as there's only 12mm behind the Motherboard and nowhere in particular to either secure or feed the cables I can't really call it management so much as "cable stuffing". OK so there's no side window so no one is going to see the vipers nest that results, but good cable management isn't just about aesthetics, it's about airflow and poor cable management equals poor airflow.
With everything hooked up it's time to mount the CPU cooler and start finish off strategically stuffing those cables into little hidey holes, (I found the vacant 5.25" bay quite useful). Lian Li do provide a central cable management strut to help with the unruly mess however In trying to use it I found it more trouble than it was worth. I'm really not sure what they had in mind when they created it but I don't think it was cable management. While on the subject of coolers it's worth noting that although Lian Li quote a max cooler height of 170mm this I think must be without the left hand and central strut in place. Placing these struts reduces the max cooler height to about 155 without an internal mounted drive and 145mm if you have a drive mounted internally on the strut.
The hard drives themselves are mounted by means of screws with rubber isolation grommets into the base of the HDD. The assembly is then slid into the corresponding holes on the strut. From experience I found it best to attache the cables first as space is limited once the drives are mounted, and if you're unitising the attachment points on the inside of the struts it's near on impossible to attach the cables once the drive is mounted and the strut in place. I won't pretend the whole drive mounting thing isn't more than a bit of a faff.

I think you've been more than generous giving it a silver. I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a case, knowing that no matter how much effort I went to that the cabling is still gonna look like a dogs breakfast. Lian-Li need to take their quality and get more innovative the way Silverstone have.
It fits HTPX and EBB boards (dual socket) and yet its still midtower!Quote
Think you are missing the point of this case though fella, its deffo not a show off case, more a compact but still get a huge rig inside kinda case.
It fits HTPX and EBB boards (dual socket) and yet its still midtower!
If they had left sufficient space behind the motherboard tray, and even mounted the hard drives behind it as well - then it'd be a different story.Quote
but if u can look at the results u will see that exactly the price range take the all thing down, ok the performance also.
And yeah, ill still buy the Silverstone Raven 02 (wich i have) 100x more.
Tom u r right with motherboard sizes, the raven does not suport this ones... but hey, for Ivy Bridge its TOP.
10x for a super review again !Quote
How can you not see that FFS?Quote
EDIT: i like the drive mounting personally but how hard would it be to put in some space behind the mobo tray so you can keep the wires for the mobo and stuff AWAY from the cables for the HDD's with them being in that position to make things easyer to swap in/out if something dies.Quote
This is obviously 100% driven towards the workstation side of computing, the big hdd columns are a dead giveaway lmao.
If lian li intend to release a case what should look good then they would include a nice side window with pre drilled cable routing holes.
It's a practical workstation case that is actually executed fairly well.Quote
overall 6.5/10 pre modded.
could be cheaper though...Quote
I agree the cable management is a bit of a pain, however it's not the end of the world having to cut out some cable management holes, especially if you're going to spray the internals anyway (which I know plenty will)....
HDD storage is novel, and frankly it's a huge improvement for them to get so much into so little space.
Review says it scrapes a Silver, which I think is fair. It's probably at the bottom of the silver category, but probably deserves that position.
The PC-100 has a "reversed" motherboard design, where the motherboard IO and the PCI slots lead out the front, then there's a grommeted track for passing the cables out the back, which is mostly a couple of 140mm fans.
This actually makes cable management very easy, since the 24-pin and video card cables get passed around the back of the mobo tray. All the unused cables fit behind the mobo tray, and there's a hole on the bottom where I routed all the cables for the case lights and switches, and the floor-mount SSDs.
The downside of the reversed motherboard is that centrifugal fan graphics cards blow out air that gets sucked back in. But my card has the down-fan style heat sink, so I expect it's not an issue.
The real brilliant aspect of this design is that I will never have an obsolete front IO panel. When I upgrade my motherboard, e.g. to a board with Thunderbolt, my "front" panel will have it.
I could go on. Basically, I think I got the better of the "Hammer Bros," especially on sale for $130.

No the Mobo tray isn't removable. Not without a Dremel any way Quote
I think it looks ok, the only weird thing is the drive mounting.
The 2x140mm radiator in front support is brilliant tho & the case looks nice from the outside.
it looks very much to me like it would be an easy job to mount a 2x140mm rad and fans in this area. enough room perhaps even for a push pull set up
Looks like there's loads of room in the bottom also for pump etc if you wanted to go watercooling.
The only problem I have had with lian-li brushed aluminium cases is vibration Quote
(edit) my mistake, it's 6 hard drives......... then yes i would say the case is fit for purpose and deserves its scoreQuote
Good review as usual mr Logan......... the build quality is lovely, and being a craftsman myself it makes my heart happy to see the pride they display in their quality of craftsmanship, it's a rare thing these days. The hard drive placement seems counter productive to the purpose of the case though, am i right in thinking that there's only room for 3 hard drives? A 3 drive raid system in a case that can hold a dual cpu board seems a little bit pointless
(edit) my mistake, it's 6 hard drives......... then yes i would say the case is fit for purpose and deserves its score

As the surgical team began delicate heart surgery on a premature, two-pound infant, the unthinkable happened. The baby boy suddenly became engulfed in flames.
Doctors and nurses immediately doused the fire and tried to revive the baby at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, but it was too late. He died soon after.
"We really aren't sure what happened," a hospital official said at a news conference.
Mark Bruley, summoned to the scene from his lab across the country in Pennsylvania, had an answer in five minutes.
That case, more than two decades ago, was still fairly early in the career of Bruley, a biomedical engineer at the nonprofit ECRI Institute in Plymouth Meeting. Thousands of cases later, he has solidified his reputation as a premier investigator of medical accidents the world over - with a particular expertise in the rare, but horrific, problem of surgical fires.

Vt. Electric Co-op returning $850K to membersThe Associated Press | September 19,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont Electric Cooperative is returning $850,000 to members, the first time its made such a distribution in its 75-year history.
In previous years, the Co-op has reinvested earnings in upgrades to its electrical system and used capital to secure power supply contracts.
Vermont Public Radio reports (http://bit.ly/1aIvEa4) the co-op recently adopted new policies that enable patronage capital distributions. Thats based on the principle that the economic benefits of a cooperatives operation should be returned to its members or reinvested in the co-op.
The distributions apply to members during 1997 and 2012. Active members in good account standing and with patronage capital balances from these years can expect to receive a credit on their bills between now and mid-October.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Democratic gubernatorial nominee Sue Minter says she will seek tax fairness as...

Comments Thread For: Dirks Backs Away From Mandatory Spot To EU Belt
Dustin Dirks, reigning WBA I/C light heavyweight champ, has relinquished his position as mandatory challenger for EU champ Orial Kulaj. The official reason is of course that Dirks is to defend his Intercontinental title. Dirks scored a terryfying knockout over Kulaj, then 3-2, in 2009. Dirks was then 9-0 and is today 26-0 while Kulaj is 10-5. However, in his last two fights Dustin has looked pretty terrible even though he came out winning while Orial has won five straight and it appears to be a wise move to avoid a rematch where there is everything to lose.

This section of the guide will help get you through all the procedural missions in the game.
Index Little Jacob Procedural Missions Exotic Car Theft MissionsVigilante Missions Most Wanted Missions 1. Broker, Bohan, Dukes Most Wanted 2. Algonquin Most Wanted 3. Alderney Most Wanted RacesAssassination Missions Stevie Car Thefts
Little Jacob Procedural Mission: Drug Deliveries
$250 each
To access the drug delivery missions, select Jacob from your phonebook and, instead of calling him, select the option called Job. Jacob will give you one of 10 drug delivery missions in random. Before going on these missions, we strongly recommend purchasing body armor and a high powered weapon.
Beechwood City Delivery
A timed delivery. The drop-off is only a short distance a way, so floor the gas pedal and follow the yellow line. Drive into the garage at the destination to finish the deal.
Meadow Hills Delivery
Meadow Hills Delivery isn't timed, but it won't run smoothly, either. Make sure you have a pistol equipped before arriving at the destination, because you'll be ambushed after stashing the drugs. Kill the four attacking men to complete the delivery.
Festival Towers Meadows Park Delivery
Drive to the drop-off point. Once you arrive at the park, exit your car and meet the gang members. They won't attack you, but the police will ambush you and give you a two star wanted level. Don't fight, but run out of the park. Get a car and drive away until you lose your wanted level.
Steinway Delivery
This delivery is timed, so you have to get there as fast as you can. Once you reach the location, get out of the car and approach the dealer to complete the delivery.
Willis Delivery
Get in the car, and then drive to the spot marked on your map, where you'll meet the gang members. The cops will bust into the area and increase your wanted level. To decrease the wanted level, return to the delivery vehicle and drive beyond the police radius.
Cerveza Heights Car Stack Delivery
Acquire a car and drive to the location. You must stash the package in the nearby dumpster. Equip a firearm before stashing the package, and a cut-scene will play. A rival gang will appear on the rooftops in front of you, and behind you with a car blocking your immediate exit. First, kill the men behind you, then move on to the men on the roofs in front of you. You'll complete the missions when the men are dead.
East Island City Delivery
You must complete the delivery in under an hour. Don't hold back the speed on this mission. The delivery is in a park inside a tunnel. It's a bit hard to see, but you can drive your car all the way to the delivery point. When you reach the destination, exit the vehicle and complete the deal.
Meadow Hills Delivery #2
Drive to the drop off location. When you arrive in the alley, exit the vehicle, and place the drugs in the nearby garbage cans. Gangs will ambush you as you place the drugs in the garbage cans. Kill them to complete the delivery.
Schottler Delivery
This is a timed delivery. Put the pedal to the metal and rush to the objective point. The contact is waiting under a bridge. Drive up to him, get out of the car, and then complete the delivery.
Outlook Park Delivery
Get the car and drive to the park. Drive your car all the way to the delivery point -- yes, even into the park itself -- and then exit when you reach the waypoint. Now walk up to the point and initiate the cut-scene in which Niko places the package into some garbage. Four men will appear. Kill them and then the mission will be complete.
Exotic Export Procedural Missions
You must collect 10 cars for Brucie. Each mission is randomly selected, and to start a mission, you must check your email at the internet cafe. Respond to Brucie's email about the cars he wants stolen. Below are the missions in the order we received them.
Note: The condition of the car will affect the payout. You can get paid for the full value of the car by taking it to the Pay 'N Spray before taking it to Brucie's lockup.
Also if you don't mind a little cheating you can use the health cheat in your phone under cheats. You have to type the number in the first time to activate it in your phone.
The names for these cars are also different. Like the Intruder I found it at the Beechwood city at the carwash. So look for the place its at not the name.
Intruder Theft
The Intruder is in Outlook. Get a car and head towards your objective. When you reach the Intruder, the current owner will be under arrest by the cops. You can't wait for the cops to drive off, so you'll have to steal the car right in front of them. Your wanted level will immediately rise to two stars, so floor the gas pedal and drive away until the wanted level clears. Once you're safe, complete the mission by driving to Brucie's lockup. We received $1,182, though the condition of the car affected the final payout.
Feltzer Theft
This car is being driven around Outlook, so you must get the driver out of the car in order to take it. We found the driver driving aimlessly into a wall, so taking the car was easy. Worst case scenario, you'll drive the person into the wall, and take the car to the Paint 'N Spray to get it fixed. We got $1,500 for the car.
Patriot Theft
This car appears like a Hummer and is located in Cerveza Heights. Get a car and drive towards the blue marker. The easiest way to steal the car is to fire a few rounds into it, causing the driver to pull over and get out of the car. Don't bother to fight the driver. Just get in the car and take it to the lockup. We received over a grand for the car.
NRG900 Theft
This heist is for a bike parked on the docks in BOABO. Drive out to the docks and towards the blue marker. Be prepared for the four guys surrounding the bike. Pull out a gun and kill as many of the thugs as you can, then hop on the bike, and drive towards the lockup. We received around $850 for the bike.
Sanchez Theft
This is another motorcycle theft. The bike is located at the local park in the Firefly Projects. Drive to the Firefly Projects, and make sure you equip a gun when you get out. As you approach the bike, you'll see several thugs around it; drive over them with a car or shoot them. Drive the bike to the lockup. You'll get around $900 for it.
Banshee Theft
The car is in Beechwood City. Drive towards the blue marker, where the car is being washed at a car wash. When you arrive, you'll have to roll up and jump into the Banshee. The guys washing the car will try to open the doors, so be quick and get out of the car wash fast. Drive back to the lockup and you'll receive over $1,000.
Cavalcade Theft
The car is located outside a station in Meadow Hills. Get your car and proceed towards the blue marker. The car will be parked on the street without anyone guarding it. However, police on foot and in patrol cars heavily patrol the neighborhood. Wait for the right moment to smash the window and grab the car. You will get a two star rating no matter how long you wait, but if you keep the cops at a distant, you'll at least have a few seconds before they start shooting. Lose the wanted level, and then drive back to the lockup. We received around $1,000.
PCJ500 Theft
This is another bike theft. Drive to the projects in Chase Point, where the bike is next to a night club, with a thug sitting on the bike. Walk up to the bike, knock the thug off, and then ride the bike back to the lockup. You will receive around $1,000.
PMP600 Theft
The car is located in Schottler. Drive out to the blue point, equip a gun, and then kill the thugs around the car. We killed them by driving into them. Once they are dead, take the car and drive it back to the lockup. We received $1,000 for the PMP600 in prestine condition.
Sabre GT Theft
This car is being driven in Meadows Park. Drive out to the car and then use your current vehicle to block the car in. Once the driver is blocked, steal the car and drive it back to the lockup. Even with scratches and damages, the car will fetch over $1,000.
Vigilante Procedural Missions
Vigilante missions can only be done when you have police car. The easiest way to obtain a police car is to dial 911 on your phone, and then ask for a patrol car to stop by. When the police arrive and get out of the car, steal it and drive away. Once you lose the one star wanted level, pull over and hit the use button to access the police car computer.
Now that you're using the computer, pick the "View Current Crimes" tab. You can pick from three types of criminal activities: criminal on foot, car thefts, and gang activity. It doesn't matter which ones you do, but you must complete 20 of them to achieve the 100% completion rating. You have only a minute to reach the crime scene, so drive fast.
NOTE: If you're just going for the quick 20 crimes for the achievement, the 'criminal on foot' ones are easiest; either run the suspect over or shoot him from the car. Gang activity involves killing multiple suspects, while car thefts require a chase and killing multiple suspects if they bail out.
Once you pick which crime you're going to tackle, follow the path towards the red objective marker. After you reach your location, get out of your vehicle -- it doesn't reset the vigilante mission like the old games -- and then kill the criminals. Don't worry about accumulating any wanted ratings, as these all disappear after the mission is completed.
Most Wanted Procedural Missions
There are 10 Most Wanted Criminals per area of Liberty City. Whenever you are in a police car, you can use the police computer to access the most wanted list for that particular area. These missions must be completed in order to get 100% Completion in the game.
Broker, Bohan, Dukes Most Wanted
Maxwell Caughlin: Wanted for Gang Related Violence
Select Maxwell from the list and then head towards his known location. Don't get out of your car when you arrive at the scene, as Maxwell will speed off with an accomplice. Chase them down and shoot out their tires. Once you get them off the road, kill them to complete the mission.

Antonio Rivette: Wanted for Racketeering
Antonio and his accomplices are hanging out in a train station. Drive to the area and then get out of your car. They will be in the station above, forcing you to fight them while you move up the stairs. A shotgun works best for the close quarters. Kill all four criminals to complete the mission.
Rodrigo Stavnes: Wanted for Racketeering
After picking Rodrigo, drive to his location. Unlike the previous criminals, it's best to try to drive as close as possible to them. It's up to you on how you want to take them out, but what's important to know is that they all scattered in different directions. To combat this potential issue, we drove up to the group, pulled out our sniper rifle, and shot them one at a time as they scattered.
Fernando Tisdel: Wanted for Human Trafficking
Drive to Fernando's last known location. When you get close you'll see him and a car full of thugs peel out. Chase them, shooting out their tires and/or ramming them until they stop. Once you get them out of the car, kill them while staying in your car (it provides some level of cover).

Preston Pecinovsky: Wanted for Credit Card Fraud
Pick Preston from the police computer and then go to his location. He'll be parked inside an empty lot, hanging out with five or six accomplices. They are all armed, so we recommend throwing grenades over the wall to thin them out. Once there is only a couple left, move in and kill the remaining enemies.
Alonso Goralski: Wanted for Burglary
Alonso is rolling with a single accomplice. Drive out to his location and don't get out of your car. Alonso will send his accomplice out on the road while he hangs back with a shotgun. Since you have to kill both of them to finish the mission, take off and kill the driver as quickly as possible. Once the thug in the car is dead, drive back to Alonso's location and finish him off.
Bert Reker: Wanted for Drug Trafficking
Bert and his gang will be found holed up inside a small junk yard facility. While you could just smash through the front gate in an all out assault, we found that parking your car far away and sniping the enemies works best. the building up on the hill across the street (stone and dukes) is perfect. there is a staircase that leads up to the roof where u find armor. just perch there and you can kill all the enemies, one shot/one kill = 7 bullets
Freddy Paparo: Wanted for Grand Theft Auto
Freddy and his car full of gang members will come screaming out of hiding just as you drive up on the scene of his last known location. Chase them, shoot out their tires, and ram them off the road. Once you get them out of their vehicle, stay inside your own vehicle and shoot them to death.

Follow the red blip on your map to a run down room, where you'll find Jimmy laying all strung out on the floor. He won't put up a fight, so how you kill him is up to you.
Simon Nashly: Wanted for Racketeering
Simon's last known position is out on Pier 45. By the time you arrive on the scene, he and his gang will have already taken over the place. Get out of your vehicle and slowly work your way up each floor of the pier, killing the enemies you come across, a total of nine thugs.
Tommy Francovic: Wanted for Human Trafficking
Tommy doesn't roll with a gang, so he'll be pretty easy to take out. The problem is, you have to catch him first. When you roll up on his last known location, he'll start fleeing on a motorcycle. Try to catch him within the first part of the trip -- before he has a chance to get a lot of speed -- and shoot/ram him off his bike. Once he hits the ground, shoot him or park your car on top of him until he dies.

When we showed up at Lino's last known position, two thugs stayed in place while a third ran away.

Moreover, you can actually kill the two who stayed behind by coming back into your car and hitting them.
Juan Haimo: Wanted for Burglarly
Juan and his crew will be located in an alley way with two entrances to it. Drive up to the entrance along the main drag of the area appearing as Times Square, where Juan and his two accomplices will try to flee on motorcycles.

If you fail the first time by choosing the wrong exit to protect, simply try it again and go to the opposite one.
Darren Covey: Wanted for Arms Dealing
Once you've taken on the mission, drive to the yellow locator on your map. Darren and his gang's last known location will be in a seemingly abandoned parking garage. Once you have a visual on the targets, find a good position where you can snipe them and take them out. They'll try to shoot back, but you should be far enough away that they'll hardly ever hit you.
Leo Brodell: Wanted for Drug TraffickingAfter selecting Leo as your target, drive to his last known location. When you arrive on the scene you will notice that several targets are above you. Find an unlocked door into the apartment building you are next to, then slowly work your way up, floor by floor, and kill all the enemies in the building.

Glenn Lushbaugh: Wanted for Human Trafficking
This takedown could take you a few tries. As you arrive at Glenn's last known location, he pulls out in a car with a friend. It is very important that you either take them out immediately, or you stay right next to them while they are running. If you let your car trail too far behind, they drop a grenade and instant kill you. Again, your best option is trying it a few times and coming in at an angle where you can ram them before they ever really get going.
Phil Bacerra: Wanted for Hit and Run
Phil is a tough guy. He and his crew are hanging out in a parking lot when you roll up. As you arrive, they'll get into their two trucks and start to drive away. You must take out one of the trucks immediately, killing the occupants as fast as possible, so you can catch up to them, and kill the crew inside the second truck.
Sergi Szerbin: Wanted for Burglary
Sergi and his gang are hiding in a parking lot. When you roll up on them, don't assault them head on. Instead, drive around to the side of the parking lot sloping at an incline. Use the higher ground to pick them off with ease.
Danny Hatmaker: Wanted for Arms Dealing

After selecting Mervin as your next target, drive to the location marked on your map. When you arrive on the scene, Mervin and his accomplices will attempt to run in a pair of Humvees.

Frederick Harrison: Wanted for Grand Theft Auto
Frederick and his gang have taken over an old bridge. Drive up to the location and kill the sole guard standing watch at the base of the bridge. Once he is down, slowly work your way up the multitiered stair cases going up the bridge. You should constantly be checking behind you, as multiple enemies are above and behind the stairs. When you reach the same level as the enemies, don't rush into a fight with them. Instead, go in the opposite direction and you'll find a staircase that goes even higher than they are. Go up a few flights of stairs and use your height advantage to snipe them.
Keenan Burdett: Wanted for Armed Robbery
Keenan should probably be the last criminal you try to take down. He is heavily guarded and well armed. He and his gang have taken over a multilevel parking garage, forcing you to fight numerous waves of enemies. We never left our car; we used it as portable cover, killing the random guards and moving until we reached the top. At the top of the garage, we got out of our car, and killed the remaining enemies using a combination of grenades and an assault rifle. Use cover when appropriate, as well as your vehicle, and you should be alright. Just watch out for the guys who throw grenades!
Race Procedural Missions
After completing the mission "No. 1" for Brucie, he'll call and unlock the option for the races. To initiate a race, call Brucie in your phonebook and then select the Race option. Once you've initiated a race, find a vehicle and drive to the starting location. While the vehicles in a race appear to be selected randomly, the class of the car that you're driving may affect the car selection.
There are nine races in total. To complete each race, simply follow the yellow markers appearing before you. Here are some racing tips:
Assassination Procedural Missions
Assassinations are unlocked after you complete the mission Truck Hustle, and after you get a phone call from the Fixer. Once you accomplish both conditions, you can start an assassination mission by driving to the phone booth marked as a target symbol on the GPS, and by calling the Fixer. There are nine missions altogether, each worth several thousand dollars, and all must be completed for the 100% completion rating. All the missions are randomly assigned, so our order will likely be different than your experience. Make sure you always grab the body armor and weapon that Fixer leaves for you after accepting every mission.
R.U.B. Down
Drive to the red marker on your map. You will roll up on an empty lot where three dealers are making a transaction. Although random enemies may be around them, it is imperative that you focus your attention on the three guys with red arrows above their head. Shoot them before they have a chance to get on their motorcycles and ride away. Once the guys are knocked off their bikes, kill them all at your leisure.
Dead End
After calling the Fixer and receiving a hit, drive to the red marker. When you get close to the location, your hit will pull out in a Humvee and start driving. Follow him, but don't worry too much about trying to take him out, as he will only drive a short distance before pulling into an alleyway and stopping. When he stops, your objective will change. You must kill the hit and all the thugs (around 20) in the alley.
Water Hazard
After receiving the mission information, drive towards the red marker on your map. When you reach the area and are told to take out the target, drive your car up to the water's edge and pull out a rifle. From the edge of the water, you should see the target and two others on a boat. Shoot them on the boat to conclude the mission.
Migration Control
Drive towards the red marker. When you get close, you will be notified that the target is next to the helipad above the tunnel in front of you. Run towards the helipad and pull out the rocket launcher that Fixer left for you. Fire the first rocket into the area with the cars by the helipad, and save the second rocket as a last resort. Find the target marked by a red arrow and shoot them with a rifle. If they make it to the chopper, take out your RPG, and finish off the chopper before it gets away.
Taken Out
After accepting the mission, drive towards the red marker on your map. The client is in a moving vehicle, so make sure you are driving a car that you're comfortable using. When you get close to the target, you'll be told to stop the convoy. The client is traveling in a stretched limo, followed by two cars filled with troops. Once you engage them, the client will start to run into his limo, while several guys shoot you from his limo and from the other cars. Once he starts to pull away from the other cars, chase him and keep shooting the car. Eventually, you will either kill the driver, or damage the car to the point where it catches fire. Either way, chase down the limo and make sure to kill all the occupants.
Bailing Out For Good
The target is located in a police station. After accepting the hit, grab the weapon and armor that the Fixer left, and then drive, or take a cab to the red marker on your minimap. When you arrive at the location, the target and two heavily armed guards will walk out of the station towards a car. Shoot the client and then quickly jump into a vehicle and leave the scene. Do it quick enough and you won't attract the police.
Hook, Line and Sinker
The target is in a boat at the mouth of the West River. Drive towards the red marker on your map and then get out of your vehicle when you reach the beach. Just ahead of your current location is a boat sitting on the edge of the river. Jump in the boat, drive out to the target, and then chase him down. Shoot his boat while he's running, and he'll blow up.
Industrial Action
Three targets are in a refinery in Industrial Park. Use a cab to get to the general area, and then find a good sniping position. To complete the mission, you have to take out the three targets, as well as their bodyguards. They will be well equipped and spread out across many levels, so make sure you take your time and spot them before rushing in like a crazy person. Though you get a sniper rifle to use in this mission, we recommend using an assault rifle, as sniping will likely attract unwanted police attention. Kill all the targets to complete the mission.
Derelict Target
You have three targets located in an old building. Take a cab to the building and then prepare for a heavy fire fight. While there are only three assigned targets, there are 2-3 people per floor willing to shoot you once you start the assault. Work your way up the building, floor by floor, killing the targets as you go. You'll have to travel all the way to the top to kill the final target, but once you kill him, you get a few thousand bucks for your trouble.
Stevie Car Theft Procedural Missions
Stevie will contact you through text message once you've completed the mission No. 1 for Brucie, as well as Smackdown for Derrick. Stevie won't always ask for one of the 30 cars in the same order.

You get a text message from Stevie detailing how he wants a car from "someone in the LC24 tower in East Island City." Use the physical map included with the game to figure out the general area of East Island City. Then, in East Island City, go to Harrison St., where the car is parked next to the police station.

This review is from: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Extreme OC High Performance Triple CFX/ SLI Intel Motherboard
Pros: Runs stable as hell, OC genie works flawless if you don't want to get in depth with overclocking. Looks beautiful and includes useful features like a bios button and oc genie button on the board. Has USB 3.0 on it as well which works perfectly. Fits in my Haf 922 case perfectly.
Running a i5-4670k @ 4.5GHZ with 1.32V perfectly stable, I havn't tried going any higher
Cons: Sata slots are slightly awkward to use once it is in a case if you are using a mid tower.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Cooler Master Hyper N520 - CPU Cooler with Copper Base and 5 Heatpipes
Pros: Running a 4570k @ 1.31V 4.5ghz idles in mid 30's, gaming in low 60's, prime95 low to mid 70's, on a Cooler Master HAF 922 with 5 fans.
Cons: installation could have been easy on certain cases. But my cpu window on the back of my case is a little to high for my cpu holes and I had to uses needle plies to tighten the nuts. However like almost every other design i see has you screw them from the top of the motherboard which would have made my job a ton easier.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Acer Iconia Tab W700-6607 Intel Core i3 4GB DDR3 Memory 64GB SSD 11.6" Touchscreen Tablet PC Windows 8 64-bit
Pros: Great speed, don't be afraid of the i5. I got 3500 in 3dmark06, I tested civilization V, quake 4, farcry 2, toruchlight 2, and league of legends and all can run on like medium settings at 30+fps.
Metro interface is like butter, there is no lag at all there and the boot time is like 8 seconds and there is no lag when it starts, you are ready to go right away.
The screen looks really great, 1080p IPS so great viewing angles.
Battery life is really good, on my netflix test I ran it for a half hour and I was on pace (assuming it kept fairly constant) to get about 7 hours. I don't doubt you could get the 9 hours, just not streaming netflix though.
Great accessories, cool keyboard, great carrying case and cradle.
Cons: It was slightly larger than I thought, its thicker than my wife's zenbook prime though nothing horrible. It weighs about 2.1 lbs which could deter some people but really, I have noticed it but it doesn't bother me. It feels more sturdy than the lightweight tablets.
There is no sd slot and even on the cradle there isn't which baffles me, the cradles usb ports are awkwardly on there in a way that wouldn't allow fatter usb drives.
Other Thoughts: had about 39 of 59 gb storage space left on the SSD, I cleared another like 6+gb by lowering system restore space, getting rid of hibernation and getting rid of half the page file.READ FULL REVIEW

UIAA president and executive board member to participate in elite Swiss ski mountaineering race
16 Apr, 2014
Frits Vrijlandt in the Aosta Valley, Italy (Photo: Supplied by Frits Vrijlandt for UIAA)Frits Vrijlandt and Thomas Kähr are passionate about all things climbing and mountaineering.
Ski mountaineering, however, has a special place in the hearts of Vrijlandt, president of the UIAA and Kähr, a UIAA executive board member.
That's why both Vrijlandt and Kähr are in Switzerland 29 April -3 May 2014 to participate in the Patrouille des Glaciers, considered to be the largest and toughest ski-mountaineering events in the world.
The event which takes place once every two years is governed and organized by the Swiss Land Forces, which Kähr is part of, with the support of partners including UIAA member federation, the Swiss Alpine Club."
Organisers require participants to use climbing and mountaineering equipment such as helmet, ice axe, rope, harness which comply with UIAA standards.
The history about the race can be found on the PDG website here:
The course of the legendary team competition PdG starts in Zermatt and leads through Arolla to Verbier. This mountaineering race was established during the times of World War II, when mountain specialists of the Swiss Armed Forces searched for ways to verify their physical preparedness and technical proficiency in harsh alpine terrain. The interest to compete in the race increased steadily during the years. Therefore the capacity of the race was doubled by carrying out the race twice on two different days. Despite this, usually there are not enough starting slots available for all athletes interested in participating in the race.
Those who have participated in the famous event will tell you that it is one hardest endurance races in the world. The course from Zermatt, via Arollo to Verbier has to be completed in one single stage and it consists of a demanding topography that tests the toughest ski mountaineers.
Thomas Kähr training for PdG in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland (Photo: Supplied by Thomas Kähr for UIAA)A significant part of the route takes place in a high alpine glacier terrain which demands the participants to have mountaineering skills and the use of climbing equipment.
Both Vrijlandt and Kähr are veterans of past PdG races and say they are looking forward to this year's edition. Kähr participates in three to four ski mountaineering competitions every year.
"It is a great team effort," said Vrijlandt. "You have to encourage each other to achieve the best possible performance. It is all about comradeship, growing beyond yourself, sporting fairness and enjoying the beauty of the mountains. We have been training hard and hope for good weather and snow conditions."
The race consists of 1,800 teams with three participants in each team.Most race participants are from the Swiss army but the event is also open for soldiers from other armies and some civilians.
"Whether you participate as part of training for the army or to do your personal best, we all share a common love for the mountains and mountain sports," said Kähr.
Participants must meet the following requirements:
- Have broad alpine experience that qualifies them to independently master unexpected situations under extreme conditions in an inhospitable mountain environment
- Careful personal preparation and adequate training in order to meet the physical, mental and technical requirements of the competition
- Full compliance with the PDG regulations and willingness to follow instructions of the PDG command to the letter before, during and after the race
- Willingness to show the 'PDG spirit' towards their own team members and all other participants by displaying mutual fairness, caution and solidarity as well as recognising their own limits and respecting nature and the unique alpine world.
Useful information about the race can be found here including regulations and course itinerary.

Or "facesitting". When the person (usually a female on a male, or female on a female), sits on her sex partners face. The person being sat on will either have their nose in their partner's pussy or their nose in their asshole, or their mouth in their partner's pussy or asshole.
She performed a facesit on him because he requested to smell her asshole.

Now I'm 8 days out of the hospital. I've had 4 days of educational classes from Kaiser. They are quite good and I've learned a lot about these diseases and how to care for them and treat them. However - - Hurray, hurray - I don't have them - or only one. Emphysema.
It turns out that I didn't understand that the information given my by the team of 4 doctors that visited me twice a day was a report of my condition to the minute. But with all the medicines and tests they gave me, I'm now well. Amazing. I saw my G.P. this morning. At Kaiser hospital doctors have a very different agenda and attitude than office doctors.
So for 3 days I thought I was dying, for 4 days I thought I would have a very short lifespan remaining, and today I'm fine. I'm now to start exercising and slowly building my strength back up. This is going to take me a day or two to adjust back to joyful life. But it sure is wonderful news.
On the other medical front, my G.I. problems are completely gone. My guts are in wonderful condition. Doc says I've had another 'spontaneous remission'. All due to Mark's Daily Apple. Today the man at the pharmacy counter was getting a stool softener. I wanted to tell him no, I know the answer. Of course I didn't. (This cure is probably because they gave me steroid shots in the stomach (no fun there) to remove all inflammation.)

The purpose of a recently reported study by Pearl1 was to determine the proportion of women potentially capable physiologically of reproducing in 1930 who actually did so in that year. In the birth registration area of the United States, which in 1930 included all the states except Texas and South Dakota, there were 30,871,292 living females between the ages of 15 and 50. Approximately 63 per cent were married, while 37 per cent were either single, widowed or divorced. Nevertheless, as Pearl points out, the vast majority of them were potentially capable physiologically of reproduction. Theoretically, therefore, there might conceivably have been an equal number of births, or at least some kind of product of conception during that year. Actually, in 1930 there were officially recorded as occurring in the same area to mothers aged 15 to 49 inclusive a total of 2,256,913 living and stillbirths, including the illegitimate

Welcome to Katina Missions!
First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your continued prayers and financial generosity in partnering with us to fulfill God's call on our lives. It's amazing people like you that make it possible for us to continue to fulfill our mission of "Reaching the Lost and Encouraging the Body of Christ" wherever we go. We hope you know just how much we appreciate you!
We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication on our end, as it has been quite a long time since we've sent you an update. It's not because of the lack of activity or ministry. We value your partnership and will do a much better job at keeping you informed on what we are doing together for the Lord and His Kingdom. Again, thank you for your continual support.
Tourists often dream of that blissful vacation to Hawaii, where all you do is lounge around on a white, sandy beach and enjoy the cool, tropical breeze under the South Pacific sun. On the other hand, when you've grown up in the islands, you learn that the Aloha State is much more than a vacation hotspot – it's a mission field in desperate need of Jesus Christ. Like any other state, Hawaii has its share of crime issues, but it has grown to be a particularly significant problem among young Polynesian men, namely Samoans. Being Samoan men ourselves, it became crystal clear to us that our ministry needed to reach families in Hawaii broken by the consequences of crime and heartbreak of imprisonment, specifically those children who are now left without a father figure in their lives. This calling, however, did not start in Hawaii. It was birthed months earlier, in a little place called Eloy, Arizona…
"You guys ready to go to segregation?" the warden asked us as we walked along the cold, cement floor of Saguaro Correctional Center. We had never visited solitary confinement at a prison before, but we knew we were supposed to go and be with these men. Saguaro was specifically built to only house inmates transported from Hawaii. This became "home away from home" for many of our Samoan brothers, some temporarily and some for life. As we went from door to door, these big, muscular guys (who could easily size up with the fiercest players in the NFL) with tattoos and scars on their bodies eagerly greeted us with those huge Samoan smiles and kind words of welcome in our native language. We sang our song "Thank You" for them, in English and Samoan, which was by far the most powerful moment we shared with those men. Tears began streaming down their faces as
they sat in their cells, some on their knees with hands raised in brokenness , as we lifted our song of gratitude to God. We couldn't hold back the tears ourselves as we sang into the small openings in their cell doors. It was one of the greatest life-changing experiences we have ever had.
The Katinas with Agape camp directors Pastor Roy and Charlotte Yamamoto.
Fast-forward to just a few months ago, when we found ourselves singing for little children in Hawaii who resembled the faces of fathers locked away in Saguaro Correctional Center. What a powerful connection! Even though they were thousands of miles away from each other, these children were united in the same spirit of gratitude to Jesus Christ as their dads. They knew He loved them and loved their daddies, no matter what they had done in the past. Witnessing fathers worshipping God on the floor of a jail cell and then seeing their children laugh with the joy of the Lord only months later is a more profound experience that can be put into words – one we will never forget.
We want to say "thank you" for helping us accomplish God's good work in these families from Hawaii and the men at Saguaro Correctional Center. Your support is making mission moments like this one become reality. May God bless you and your home as you remain faithful to Him in all you do!
In Him,
The Katinas

Snowfall draws large crowds to high country businesses
LOVELAND, Colo. — A slow start to the 2013 ski season is picking up speed thanks to nearly a week of continuous snowfall, and that means larger crowds on the slopes and at high country businesses.
At Virgin Islands Ski Rental, profits are starting to rise due to increased snowfall. Business is up 10 to 15 percent this month.
Eli Robertson, the owner of Virgin Islands Ski Rental is optimistic about the rest of the year. "When it snows now, people plan their March vacation and as a result we have a busy March," Robertson said.
The company has been in business for 37 years, and knows all too well that bare slopes mean slim coffers and extra work for ski repairers.
"People go across a lot of trees, a lot of rocks, so on the bottoms you have chunks taken out. The edges have to be redone," said ski repairer Aaron White.
The winter snow also means more business at the Blue Moon Bakery in Silverthorne. The bakery gets between a 10 and 20 percent boost when it snows on the weekends.
"We open up at 7 a.m., and we've got people waiting outside to come in. They get up super early from Denver to drive up here," said Matt Meehan, Blue Moon Bakery's manager.
The recent snow is also giving people a real lift at Loveland Ski Area.
Last Saturday, 25 inches of snow fell, leading to 150 more acres of terrain and 13 more trails opening.
"The season started off on a slow start, but its picked up. Mother Nature has pulled through," said Loveland spokesperson Duncan Maxwell. "We've had almost two feet of snow in the past week and we couldn't be happier."
It's something skiers have been waiting for all season.
"What a gorgeous day. It's like spring skiing here. I'm overdressed," said skier Brian Bullock of Lone Tree.
It was Bullock's first time skiing this year. Normally, he'd be swooshing down the slopes before Christmas.
"This was the first week where I saw enough snow falling, and I thought this is going to be a great day," he said.
Skiers say the snow is wonderful, has mostly good cover and just has a few thin spots.
However, the drive back to the Metro area was not so wonderful this weekend. Electronic highway signs expected a one-hour delay on Saturday.

Drivers, Team Owners Remember Jim Hunter
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Longtime NASCAR official Jim Hunter died Friday.
Nearly every driver, team owner and media member had their own private examples of how Hunter affected their involvement in the sport.
"The entire NASCAR community is mourning the passing of Jim Hunter," said team owner Jack Roush. "As a new team owner from the outside joining NASCAR in 1988, I was welcomed and befriended by Jim and his wife Ann in the early days before I was settled, and as I was getting my feet wet in this sport. Past that, Jim remained a friend of whom I could seek sage advice and badly needed sympathy on more occasions than I can recall. His departure has diminished us all."
Jeff Gordon is as media-savvy as any driver in the history of NASCAR and understood how Hunter's influence helped NASCAR become a mainstream sport.
"He was just such a quality person and so passionate about this sport," Gordon said. "I think that is a sign of a great person and their legacy is how many people are going to be saying great things about Jim and what he meant to the sport and how dearly missed he is going to be. You are going to hear it over and over and over for a long time. He was just one of those individuals that will never be able to be replaced. I have had great memories with Jim at the banquet and Darlington, just in general. I loved how he approached this sport and his job and his life and his family. I really, really respected him a lot."
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. practically grew up with Hunter because he played a key role in the sport while his father, Dale Earnhardt, was racing.
"I can't remember the first time I met him because I was little," Earnhardt recalled. "But one thing I remember about Jim is that every time I went to New York for the banquets I was always like a fish out of water. I would go to those dinners with him and (Mike) Helton and whoever else and he was always the one who would talk to me. I didn't really know anybody else at the table. There were people that I couldn't speak their language and he would sit there and we'd just talk and he'd make the night go by and get those boring old dinners out of the way. But every time you saw him he was happy to see you and he was one of the good guys. It's a general statement but there's a lot of toughness and ruthlessness and he was one of the genuine and good people that looked out for everybody and always did what he could for you. I just really appreciated knowing him."
When Tony Stewart would run afoul of the NASCAR law, he would often get lectured by Hunter. But he had a tremendous respect for the man and honored him by wearing a hat on Saturday in Hunter's memory.
"This is for Jim Hunter," Stewart said. "Jim was a great friend of mine and at the same time was a guy that was really big in helping me understand why and how NASCAR worked and operated. He helped me through a lot of the tough times when I was struggling and fighting with NASCAR, he was the guy that came in and helped me see it from a different perspective. I lost a good friend but the whole sport lost a great mentor and somebody that has really been a behind-the-scenes guy but very much a big part of this sport being successful as it is."

Much Ado anticipates Caroline sophistication so it adapts well to Stuart elegance in costuming. Beatrice, Susan Fleetwood; Benedick, Roger Allam: Director, Bill Alexander; Designer, Kit Surrey; photographer, Donald Cooper (ahds.ac.uk/performingarts); Royal Shakespeare Theatre, April 1990.
"Kit Surrey's permanent set, which one has time to contemplate before the play begins, is an attractive formal garden which suffices for all those scenes which take place in and around Leonato's house; in due course it suavely transforms itself occasionally into the street, church or prison by the briskly contrived addition of one or two pieces of appropriate furniture." Charles Osborne, Daily Telegraph 12.4.90 Opening Date: 10 April 1990 Theatre: Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
The seventeenth-century costuming fits nicely into this formal garden setting and creates a plausible historical environment for the script. HMR
