These a**holes are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Theft is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and ACS Law division, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only filthy thieves.
Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, when they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
Have a little fun with these a*****e scammers, Tell them you've paid a Black Voodoo Queen to put a death hex on them.(They're superstitious as hell)

I've got a MSCS in the works, but I did it in a modified pattern, but now that I'm a little more knitting savvy, I'm pretty sure I can do it in the actual pattern. With that being said, I have a very, very silly pattern question. For the second row, it says to P2tog, but before removing stitches from the left needle, to P into the first stitch again. Okay, which would be considered the first stitch? When looking at the stitches on the needle, are they talking about the one on the right or the one on the left? In my mind, I'm thinking it would be the one on the right, but I can see where it could also mean the one on the left. Maybe it's just me, but I just want to be sure.
Uhh...I don't even know what MSCS is so I can't help... can you clarify?
Sorry. My So Called Scarf pattern.
The first st is the one nearest the needle tip.
Thank you! I'm much better at visual learning than written.
Stacy, perhaps this may help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qenzg_-uAl0
Thanks for asking! I coudln't figure it out either. Now it makes perfect sense!
Dangles - Thanks for the video. I always forget about going to YouTube!
Even though I am a fairly experienced knitter, I had a hell of a time with that scarf, often short a stitch, and it's difficult to open up a few rows and pick it up again. What worked for me was to check my stitches after EVERY row, I seem to remember that they always sort of grouped together in pairs. Once I started doing that, and it only takes seconds per row, I was fine. It is a beautiful pattern, and worth all the hassle.

H&M top
F&F CLOTHING sandals*
WHISTLES clutch
NAILS INC. 'Regents Place' nail polish*
Since when do I like green so much? I can barely even remember the last time I didn't wear something green in an outfit post. Where has this obsession come from? I have no idea.
Khaki obsession aside, can we take a moment to appreciate these adorable little sandals from none other than Tesco's own clothing brand, F&F? So cute. They're the perfect everyday sandal for times when a Birkenstock just won't cut it. They have a teensy little block heel which gives you a nice little boost but without being uncomfortable. Oh and they're only £16 - bargain.
I'm currently in the stages of preparing for my 10 day backpacking adventure in Scandinavia (I leave on Friday, eek!) So if anyone has any recommendations for things to see, eat, and do in Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Lund or Malmo then please do throw them my way!
PS. I recently styled up a similar outfit for Ash Footwear as I was there blogger of the week, take a look here!

Top of the morning to you. For the day that's in it, the Rumour Mill comes to you this morning wearing a green felt hat and waving a knobbly stick in the air. Arsenal are waving one too, in the hope of frightening away representatives of clubs trying to lure their right-back Bacary Sagna away from the Emirates. They'll need to step up their efforts to keep the Frenchman, who is apparently unimpressed at only being offered a two-year contract extension, in north London. With Galatasaray, Inter and Monaco all believed to be interested in signing Sagna, the player has plenty of other lucrative options.
Like Lewis Hamilton at yesterday's Australian grand prix, Arsenal are in pole position in the race to sign German centre-half Matthias Ginter. The Mirror reports that Arsène Wenger sent his chief scout Steve Rowley to watch the 20-year-old play in Freiburg's 4-1 away win against Eintracht Frankfurt yesterday. David Moyes also travelled to Germany to view the player in action last month, while Borussia Dortmund are also card-carrying members of the raw young German's fan club.
Of course, Ginter isn't the only German to have caught Moyes's eye. The beleaguered Manchester United manager has a rather lengthy shopping list for his summer trolley dash, which includes a number of prospective purchases from the aisle marked "Bundesliga midfielders"; any combination of Schalke's Julian Draxler, Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan and Marco Reus, and Bayern Munich's Toni Kroos could end up in his trolley. The Sun reports that Atlético Madrid are hopeful of luring Fernando Torres back to the club where he made his name as a young whippersnapper. El Nino isn't the only striker being tipped to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, as Romelu Lukaku might be shipped out once his loan deal expires at Everton and you can't imagine them falkling over themselves to keep Demba Ba if anyone tries to take him off their hands.
Bayern Munich striker Mario Mandzukic is a Rumour Mill regular and is back here again being mentioned in conjunction with prospective switches to Juventus, Real Madrid or Arsenal. The Croatian striker is believed to have a £25m buy-out clause in his contract, which is £25m more than Barcelona goalkeeper Víctor Valdés will cost when his contract at Camp Nou expires in a couple of months. Manchester City are the latest club to be linked with a player who has made no secret of his interest in playing in the Premier League.
Olivier Giroud could be on the move back to France, with tabloids suggesting his wife is insisting on it as a condition of granting him forgiveness for his recent, well documented misbehaviour. "She's agreed to take him back, but only on the condition they leave London and England," a helpful source told The Sun, following reports that the Arsenal striker was seen shooting the breeze with the agent Muzzi Ozcan, who doesn't represent him, in a Hampstead restaurant last week. According to the Mail, Giroud's actual agent, Mickael Manuello, has insisted the meeting in question "was meant purely for commercial purposes".
And in a final paragraph devoted exclusively to transfer speculation concerning the sons of famous footballing fathers, the name of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is being mentioned in connection with a move to his dad Peter's old club Manchester United once his contract at Leicester City runs out this summer. Elsewhere in the Championship, 18-year-old Charlton midfielder Diego Poyet, son of Sunderland manager Gus, is wanted by both Arsenal and Spurs. Born in Spain and reared in England, the young tyro is qualified to play for both countries, as well as Uruguay. If he turns out half the player his old man was, the clamour for his services on the international stage should be raucous. Poyet has already represented England at schoolboy level, but made it clear he'd prefer to play for the Uruguay senior side should the opportunity arise.

|Pacquiao fights for the Celtics
|03.10.10 at 7:15 pm ET
Prior to Wednesday's game with Memphis, many of the Celtics had a special motivational gift waiting for them in their lockers.
Manny Pacquiao, widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, sent several red autographed boxing gloves to the Celtics as a measure of gratitude for being bestowed an honorary member of the Celtics, according to Phillipines news report.
"There's no message, no message," insisted Celtics coach Doc Rivers before Wednesday's game.
"It honestly wasn't from me," Rivers added. "Pacquiao is obviously a huge Celtics fan and he tried to get to our walk-through in the hotel ballroom before we played the Lakers [in Los Angeles] so he just sent that to us. That's nice. It's a good gesture."
Asked if he hopes his players make use of the gloves, Rivers quipped, "No, not on each other."
The relationship between Pacquiao and the Celtics grew closer in 2008 when Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo watched him capture the World Boxing Council lightweight title from David Diaz and then congratulated him afterward.
|Movie critics
|02.27.10 at 2:45 pm ET
There was plenty of hype surrounding the debut of the HBO movie, "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals." Our own Jess Camerato summarized it.
On Friday, Celtics coach Doc Rivers thought his team could learn something more from that film rather than tape of their meltdown on Thursday against Cleveland.
"I just thought it was a good thing to watch," Rivers said. "I saw it in L.A. the night before the Laker game and I loved it. I thought there were a lot of great things in it for our team, not just for our team but anyone who plays basketball or anybody who likes sports actually.
"I thought [Friday] was a good day. I didn't think we needed work. I thought we needed to be together. So instead of watching us play, and I don't know if anybody wanted to watch that, instead of watching a horror film, I decided to watch a good film."
It unfortunately did not have the desired impact – at least initially – as the Celtics came out and played one of their flattest games of the season. They allowed the 5-52 Nets to outscore them 44-24 in the first half and take command, leading by as many 14 midway through the third.
"I don't know if it had any effect short term," Rivers said. "But I just thought it was a good day for us.
"We'll see. It's really good. There's a lot of team stuff in it and just a lot of good messages in it, and more than just the Magic-Bird thing. I thought Bird was phenomenal because I thought it captured him exactly as he was."
|Fast Break: Celtics vs. Lakers
|02.19.10 at 1:26 am ET
Danny Ainge made his trade deadline move and, all things considered, it was a relatively minor one. He effectively traded Eddie House for Nate Robinson and while it will give the second unit a different look, it doesn't do a lot to alter the makeup of this team.
The Celtics hopes will still rise and fall primarily upon the health and effectiveness of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. To that end Allen looked positively rejuvenated and Garnett looked like the 2007 version of himself in an emotional 87-86 victory over the Lakers Thursday night in Los Angeles.
The Big Three will get at least one more chance to see if they can win a championship together. That's what they have been asking for the last few weeks and now that the final decision has been made there can be no more excuses. It's on them to turn it around in the final 30 games and through the playoffs.
Turning Point: For three quarters the Celtics controlled the matchup, but when the Lakers made their inevitable run to start the fourth quarter and turned a nine-point deficit into a four-point lead, the Celtics had a decision to make. They could retreat into a shell, as they have done so often the last few weeks, or they could stand and fight. They chose to fight.
Player of the Game: Ray Allen. It's dangerous to read too much into a player's one-game performance but Allen resembled the dangerous outside shooter that he's been known for being throughout his career. He made his first four shots and finished with 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Was he more relaxed after the trade deadline passed? Who knows for sure, but if this is the Allen the Celtics can get night in and night out for the rest of the season, it will go a long way toward making them a serious contender again.
* The game was physical throughout with several big dunks and a few minor staredowns. Ron Artest and Pierce continued their rivalry, Garnett and Lamar Odom exchanged words after a jump ball and Kendrick Perkins and Andrew Bynum battled under the glass.
* The officials let the two teams play for the most and both sides wanted calls in the final seconds of the game. Doc Rivers could be seen asking the refs, "That wasn't a foul?" after Pierce drove to the basket. On the other end, the Lakers though Allen fouled Derek Fisher's last-second shot.
* Rasheed Wallace missed nine of his first 10 shots and picked up a technical foul when he tangled with Pau Gasol at midcourt. After several solid outings, it was not a good night for Wallace.
* Kobe Bryant didn't play for the Lakers. He is battling an assortment of injuries but it's his ankle that seems to be giving him the most trouble.
* Robinson and Marcus Landry, the other player acquired from the Knicks in exchange for House, J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker did not play. The Celtics had only 11 players in uniform and lost Tony Allen with an ankle injury, but Doc Rivers stayed with a tight rotation throughout.
* All five started scored in double figures.
* Once again Rondo was on the floor for the final offensive possession. The play involved Pierce and Garnett in a high pick and roll, but without House, expect to see more of that.
|Halftime wrap: Celtics vs. Lakers
|02.18.10 at 11:55 pm ET
At the half, the Celtics have a 53-48 lead. The Lakers grabbed an slim advantage early in the second quarter, but the Celtics were able to build an 11-point lead capped by a thunderous Ray Allen dunk on Shannon Brown. LA came right back, however, led by Lamar Odom who had a big dunk of his own on Kendrick Perkins. Ron Artest leads the Lakers with 12 points.
Both teams will deal with foul trouble in the second half. Allen has three fouls as does LA's Andrew Bynum.
Tony Allen and Glen Davis gave the Celtics energy, if uneven, minutes off the bench. Both players got on the glass and attacked the basket, but both had trouble finishing. Still, by the time the starters returned to the floor they had given them a 41-34 lead.
|First quarter wrap: Celtics vs. Lakers
|at 11:15 pm ET
The Celtics started quickly with an 11-2 run to open the game, but the Lakers closed the gap in the final minute, leaving the Celtics with a 29-27 lead after one. Rajon Rondo scored eight points and had two assists, while Ray Allen made all four of his shots to finish the quarter with nine points.
The Lakers are playing without Kobe Bryant and repeatedly tried to establish themselves in the post with Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, who each scored points.
Newest Celtics Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry are not with the team.
|Kobe plays Keyshawn: 'Give me the damn ball'
|01.31.10 at 8:26 pm ET
Bad left ankle or not, injured right index finger or not, Kobe Bryant channeled Keyshawn Johnson on Sunday and made the Celtics pay in the end.
"I didn't say, 'Give me one more chance.' I said, 'Give me the damn ball.' I didn't really give [my team] much of a choice," Bryant said of the moments in the huddle before his game-winner with 7.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
"All we talked about was the execution of [the play], where I was going to catch the ball. That was the only difference. Throughout the course of the game, I was pretty much a decoy because of all the traps they run, but if I catch it at the top of the floor, it's a different story."
Then there are Celtics fans, who had a slightly different perspective ' one that had Bryant clearly pushing off of Ray Allen to create space for the game-winner.
"I just tried to create space and get to a spot where I could elevate and knock it down," Bryant explained.
Speaking of pushing off, Bryant said his left ankle was so sore he couldn't elevate, leading to this tidy little jab at Allen.
"Oh yeah, I couldn't push off," Bryant said. "Ray's athletic, but my elevator goes to the 12th floor, his stays at the seventh. But I couldn't get to the 12th floor today, so it was hurting.
"Special for me, personally, because I had opportunity to win the game last year and I didn't do it. I didn't get the shot I wanted, so I wanted to make sure I redeemed myself today."
Mr. Zenmaster himself, Phil Jackson ' who tied Pat Riley for all-time wins by a Lakers coach on Sunday with his 733rd ' said nothing feels better than putting the game in Bryant's hands.
"He had a couple of looks before that that were good looks in that area and we were mystified he couldn't put it in. He told me the next one he got out there he would drop it in and so we went with it," Jackson said.

JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA – Raha Muharraq, a 25-year-old Saudi woman, on Saturday reached the summit of Mount Everest in a first for the conservative Muslim kingdom, where women's sports are severely restricted, her father said.
Hassan Muharraq said that Raha, a graduate of the University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, has now achieved her ambition of climbing the seven highest peaks in the world, after climbing mountains in Europe, Tanzania, Antarctica and Argentina.
"Her dream was to prove that with determination and self-denial she can bear difficulties because she believed that humankind can overcome" all tests, he said.
Saudi Arabia, which imposes a segregation of the sexes, this month gave the green light for girls at private schools to play sports, under certain conditions. Under pressure from international sports bodies, it sent two female athletes to the London Olympics last summer.

|Battle your way through the game with all the heroes.
Once you completed all campaigns regardless of difficulty setting you earn this achievement.
|Battle your way through the game with the difficulty set at high
You have to beat every campaign again on hard, of course you can use your savegame with the leveled characters and skills. Using the following skill set will allow you to plough through the game with ease. There only a few tricky parts as the Keep/town defenses and Levv's boss fight in Seratem Defense and Maggni's Orphea Castle Defense.
2. Once you've beaten all campaigns and the achievement doesn't unlock, check the mission stats on each mission. The score displayed depends on difficulty and it should be easy to find the mission you missed to replay.
|Achieve several top ranks.
You need 20% A ranks to unlock this. Once you finish every of Galen's missions with a Rank on one! difficulty you unlock this. To get an A rank you just simply have to kill more or less everything in your way and avoid to die. Time is another factor, but it is not important. Getting an A rank is much easier than in N3 1.
|Achieve a numerous top ranks.
You unlock this with ~2,5 complete campaigns on A rank equal to 50%.
|Achieve a majority of the top ranks.
After you finished your fourth campaign complete with A ranks equal to 80%, this achievement is yours.
|Master Performer
|Equip all active slots.
If you find all accessories in Galen's first two missions, you have enough to equip 4 active skills.
|Mind Over Matter
|Equip all passive slots
At least after Galen's third mission you should have enough accessories to equip 4 passive skills if you find every accessory.
|Fully Armed
|Equip accessories in all accessory slots.
Equip 4 active and 4 passive skills and you unlock this achievement.
|Light Collector
|Obtain 20% of all accessories.
If you follow the walkthrough from Mahalo and collect every Accessory on your way you will unlock this before you finish Galen's campaign.
|Moderate Collector
|Obtain 50% of all accessories.
If you follow the walkthrough from Mahalo and collect every Accessory on your way you will unlock this before you finish Zazi's campaign.
|Avid Collector
|Obtain 80% of all accessories.
There are a total of 53 active and 46 passive accessories in the game including the ones you earn through network mode.
|Level Up!
|Raise your character's experience.
To level up your character you must spend orbs in the raise stats menu. The first character level costs 1000 orbs.
|Blacksmith Apprentice
|Raise your weapon level.
To level up a weapon is the same as leveling up the character. Costs depend on high the initial weapon level is.
|Master Blacksmith
|Raise your weapon level to the maximum level.
You must level one of the weapons you collect in the campaign to level 10. Chose wisely which weapon you use because it is quite expensive and they only differ in the bonus attribute. Attack strength is same for all in the end, except the weapons you earn through network mode. These are level 10 from the beginning but do weaker damage compared to a fully leveled weapon in the end. Getting an online weapon doesn't count for this achievement.
|Designer Apprentice
|Raise your accessory level.
Level an accessory like you level up a weapon or a character. Costs depend on how good the item is.
|Master Designer
|Raise your accessory level to the maximum level.
Maximum level for accessories is level 5. If you level "Virtue" which is highly recommended you should be able to max it out after the 2nd or 3rd mission.
|Ground Fighter
|Score 1000 hits.
You need to pull off a combo with 1000 hits, shouldn't pose much of a problem. Just remember that without an specific accessory your combo ends ~3 seconds after the last successful hit. First spot to earn this is in Galen's first mission. Once you are through the first gate and your objective is to destroy the summoning towers, just stay in the middle of the map and kill the hordes of monsters. However don't kill too fast or you run out on enemies and your combo will end.
|Ground Master
|Score 3,000 hits.
If you have some patience you earn this in the same place as the 1000 hit combo, it just takes a few minutes until you reach 3000 hits. But there are several places with more or less infinite spawns that you can abuse during the campaigns. The first would be in Galen's approach to Orphea Castle as written in "Ground Fighter".
|Air Fighter
|Score 1000 hits while in the air.
The description is misleading. You don't need to air juggle enemies and pummel them while in midair, it suffices to mash with Galen in a group of enemies and most of the time you score some hits on airborne enemies without recognizing it. Another good is way is to level the skill "Quake" and use it in a big group of enemies. Even with Quake on level 1 it is a piece of cake, it just takes a bit longer and the hits don't have to be consecutive. You may earn the achievement in Galen's second or third mission.
|Air Master
|Score 3,000 hits while in the air.
You should unlock this during Galen's campaign if you use Quake in groups of enemies on a regular basis.
|Wail of Wrath
|Defeat an enemy with the highest orb spark level.
As you fight enemies you will up your blue gauge below your health gauge. Once it is completely full, press and hold and move from left to right in rapid succession once a gauge in the middle of the screen appears to unleash powerful move to kill weak enemies.
|Dance of Delusion
|Defeat an enemy with the highest orb attack level.
Similar to an orb spark attack, but once the orb gauge is full only tap :rb and hack away with either or until you finish the sequence with a nice signature move.
|Respect for Individuality
|Use a unique character action.
You execute a unique characater action with pressing and you are prompted in every campaign to do that, to advance in certain missions.
|Learning Skills
|Execute a skill attack.
To execute a skill attack you must have accessories equipped in your character's active slots. Then during a mission press + ,, or and you have one more achievement.
|Chain of Skills
|Use your skills 100 times.
Using your skills 100 times will come naturally during the game and should unlock during your first or second campaign if you use them frequently.
|Transcended Technique
|Use your skills 500 times.
Sounds much, but you will definetly get this during your first playthrough if you use them frequently.
|Observant Eye
|Perform 100 flash attacks.
To perform a flash attack you have two options. 1st block an enemy attack with pressing and once you see a small white animation during the block mash . The easier way is fighting shielded enemies. Just hit their shields with until it moves aside they look stunned. Now mash and maybe you can chain several flash attacks depending how many shielded enemies are around you. Best way to farm them is Survival level 2 as there spawn legions of shielded enemies.
|Master of Insight
|Perform 300 flash attacks.
Just replay Survival level 2 a few times with a partner and you will get it in 3-4 runs.
|Iron Clad
|Block 100 attacks.
Easy as it sounds, just block 100 attacks with . Best spot to do this is in the mission Crystal Caves. You will pass through a section with several torn down Pillars you have to cross a dried out canal. On each side of the canal are archers. Nothing special, but they shoot all at the same time so you can get ~15-20blocks per arrow wave they shoot. Just stand there and block all the time and you will be done in a few minutes.
|Block 300 attacks.
Use the spot and tactic written in "Iron Clad" to unlock this.
|Hair's Breadth
|Evade 100 attacks.
To evade you must dodge an enemy attack with + moving the in a direction. Best way to farm it is using a roll after each complete attack combo as example , , , , , + or just stand in a crowd of enemies and dodge through. I obtained 100 evades during the fight against the Lord of Night with Galen.
|Evade 300 attacks.
This one took longer, nearly the whole first playthrough to get. You can try to dodge arrows in the Crystal Cave, but it is not confirmed if it works.
|Break open a treasure chest.
You will find Chests in every map, they contain either orbs, weapons or accessories. You will find the several in Galen's first mission, for example in the western most part in the map where you get trapped.
|Time Out
|Obtain a recovery item.
Recovery items are either in vases like the achievement tile or randomly drop from the Giant troops. Green replenish health and blue your orb gauge.
|Enter the Maze
|Complete a stage in network mode.
Just finish any stage with a coop partner you earn this.
|Eternal Maze
|Battle your way through network mode.
Once you finished 50% of all stages you unlock this achievement. To make this an easy one at least one should have the skill set used for the hard playthrough with an exception for the mode "Maze" where you are seperated and survival 4 +5 in which you face hordes of strong enemies. You should both use the skill set mentioned above.
|Full-Fledged Adventurer
|Use the leaderboard.
After the first completed stage in network mode you upload your score and resulting in this achievement.
Secret Achievements
|Chameleon Apprentice
|Obtained a character color variation.
Just find one color variation. The first is in Tramont in Galen's campaign. After you finish the first altar, advance to the small portion of the map northwest of it. The black ghost there(it is its real name) will drop it, but it can be invisible for short durations, so wait until it appears and just spam attacks until you kill it.
|Master Chameleon
|Obtained character color variations for all characters.
You have to find every color variation for all characters. Here is a list in which mission you find one of the 4 colors for each character.
|Obtained Galen's level 5 weapon.
Beat all 5 Survival levels in network mode. Each level consists of 3 waves which are each hordes of enemies. The first 3 levels are quite easy, but level 4 and 5 confronts you with lots of exploding and fire breathing enemies, Lightning Bolt, Radiant Sphere and Prism Ray are mandatory here.
|Light Dancer
|Obtained Sephia's level 5 weapon.
Once you beat all 3 iterations of "Hell First" and "Hell Second" you get this weapon. If the enemies are too strong or annoying, you can run through most part of the level, but at least someone should have the skill set used for hard.
|Shadow Dancer
|Obtained Zazi's level 5 weapon.
Beat all stages of Maze. It has 3 iterations with the same map, but enemies will replaced with stronger versions in each level. Once you found the way through it the first time, you won't have much problems if you are both good equipped and leveled. As advise you will encounter stone barriers you have destroy with simple attacks or skills and not Galen's personal action.
|Servant of Destruction
|Obtained Levv's level 5 weapon.
Finish all stages of "Race". Basicly let one do the necessary kills to advance and then kill everything on your way to finish the level. It has as well 3 iterations.
|Fist of Judgment
|Obtained Maggni's level 5 weapon.
Finish all levels of "Escort". You are seperated and have to escort a legion of elven soldiers to the plaza in the middle of the map. Once there you have to fight a final big battle against spawning hordes.

Unlocks with the last completed stage in network mode.

2009 Seven Days of GTA IV: Miscellaneous
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 04:26 AM MDT | By Ash_735
Continuing with The Seven Days of GTA IV, Day Two is really just a show of parody and things that do not really fit in with our other categories, so let's continue.
Originally posted last year we have the flash animation Grand Theft Awesome by Chris O'Neill (Oney) which parodies certain things in Grand Theft Auto IV that I'm sure some of us have experienced at some point. Staying on the flash animation subject we also have GTA IV: Petty Crime Spree by Campbell McLaughlin (Battosai810) which shows a day in Niko's life if he wasn't a big criminal but instead a petty criminal.
Moving on to actual videos, we have GTA IV: Liberty Suburbs by Squeaky Fresh Multimedia which is just a usual GTA in Real Life video but this one stands out due to the great amount of detail put in it. Now there is the link in these three pieces, They all parody Romans obsessive phone calls to Niko at some point, and Roman's voice actor, Jason Zumwalt, put up a video on YouTube which parodies a real life event linking to Grand Theft Auto IV where he offers us the chance to Rent Roman.
To round of today's post we look back at the Niko Bellic Sculpture created by MySpace user Kalapusa (Jaime Margary) which is an amazing piece of fan work.

How absolutely beautiful, Colleen! I worked for many years in Nursing Homes, and learned that the residents gave me back more than I ever gave them, and they ALL had something to teach me. God bless you for visiting these often forgotten folks, and for taking your children as well. I guarantee the folks will talk about your visit for weeks to come!
I applaud you for being so thoughful and for passing that on to your grandchildren. It's so important for them to know they make other people happy for Jesus. Doing for others in Jesus' name is the best gift you can give, not only to the residents, but to the children as well. Bravo!
I have been going to a Seniors home every Monday morning for the past 10 years with the priest for mass, even when the priest can"t make it I will go & bring them Holy Communion. They really look forward to us coming or just myself. I look forward to it every Monday morning & feel so much joy when I leave there
I spurted tears at that last line: "[the residents] brought Him to me." Abundant blessings and grace to you and your daughters and to all who serve in our Lord's name. I worked at a soup kitchen every week for 7 years, initially to do good, but it evolved into a beautiful, grace-filled learning as I saw the face of my Lord in the poor and the forgotten. My daughter and my dad also volunteered for a time. In yoga, we refer to "seva", selfless service. It's a beautiful grace to be given the opportunity to serve others.
So beautiful...I cried!

Where I stayed
Had a really good couple of days in Hervey Bay and the weather has become almost Australian!
We hired bikes yesterday and went for a LLLOOOOONNNGGGG bike ride along Hervey Bay. Went right along the coast as far as we possible could before we ran out of path and then turned around. Neither Amy or I have ridden a bike, for an extended period, for a very long time, and it was safe to say we could feel the after effects this morning. My saddle was made from granite which meant I had to ride stood up the whole afternoon!
We cooked an Aussie BBQ last night in the nicest hostel we've been in so far. Today we got up very early and got picked up to get the ferry to Fraser Island. Its aboriginal name translates as 'paradise', so you get an idea of what it's like
Luckily, the weather was the best we've had the whole time we've been in Australia and we had a great day. The whole island is covered in rainforest and you need a 4WD car to get anywhere. We were in a 4WD coach that drove us all the way round the island and we properly explored and saw all the sights, including humpback whales, dingoes and a 75 mile beach!
We also had a joy-ride in a small plane which flew over the island, and we got to see everything, including tiger sharks and dolphins!
Amy cooked tea tonight, which was delicious, if a bit eventful.
We're moving on to Yeppoon tomorrow, which is where my Auntie lives. It's another 8 hours north, so the weather should get even better. (fingers crossed)

Andrew Ference spends day with Stanley Cup in Boston
|09.05.11 at 8:50 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference was a big reason as to why the B's were able to bring the Stanley Cup to Boston, so for his day with the trophy, Ference, fittingly, brought the Cup to Boston.
The 32-year-old blueliner took the trophy for a bike ride, to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and around the North End, among other places, Monday as part of a day that saw quite a few passers by turn into a large crowd.
Ference was also in attendance for Mark Recchi's day with the Cup last month in Kamloops, British Columbia. Here are a few pictures of Ference's day with the Cup, all courtesy of John Bishop and the Bruins via twitter:

Schoolwork, Bali, Wildlife!
Lately I have been swamped with work. Honestly I didn't think I would have to do this much homework while abroad! The assignments I have had since I last wrote include but are not limited to: a Chinese presentation convincing my Chinese class why they should travel to Antarctica (yes, in Chinese), a paper on the threats and opportunities for cyber warfare in China for Chinese defense policy as well as a 15 minute presentation on that topic, a 2 hour Chinese written midterm, numerous profiling reports for my Criminal Profiling class, and the beginning of a case study project for my Learning and Behavior class. Oh yeah, also applying to co-ops for the fall and registering for summer 1 classes.
But the main focus on the entry is my trip to BALI. I left on the morning of Thursday 2/27 and left Bali Monday 3/3. It felt more like five minutes than five days. The flight was around 5 hours. Our days were extremely packed, I'll give a brief overview. Day 1 we settled in to our hotel and walked around the neighborhood. Day 2 consisted of a 15 mile bike ride, an elephant safari, and white water rafting; all of which were absolutely amazing. Day 3 we had a tour of Ubud and rice fields. Day 4 we went to the largest temple in Bali. Day 5 we took a cooking class, relaxed and then headed back to school. I wasn't planning on going to Bali originally, but the trip just looked so amazing and 3 of my friends were going. It was so worth it and it had everything I wanted in it: culture, wildlife, and adventure. I had never seen elephants so up close before and I got to pet one! She liked me very much and was hanging out by me; attached is a picture. A big change from Australia—none of the spiders in Bali are poisonous! Given the opportunity to hold one by one of my tour guides I obviously did. Bali was an experience like nothing else and the preservation of their culture is absolutely astonishing.
I am so lucky to have gone there and I felt very spoiled when I didn't want to return to Australia even though Australia is also amazing! I am going on a few trips around Australia before I leave. I only have about 5 weeks left in my study abroad and am going to Cairns on Wednesday to live on a boat for 3 days and dive the Great Barrier Reef, something that has been a dream of mine for years. I am so excited! I am also planning trips to Sydney and Melbourne before I leave. This semester has flown by so quickly and I am trying to pack as much as I can before I leave. I am extremely happy to have seen so much wildlife already and going to the Great Barrier Reef will be a whole new experience of seeing wildlife. Goodbye for now and I will have a lot to say when I get back from Cairns!

Fireworks stores open for business
Today, fireworks stores opened for business and vendors have high hopes for sales this season.
Will Turner, President of the Friendship FFA Booster Club, said although sales this winter might not be as great as they were this summer, he still expects fireworks to be in high demand.
"For the News
Year's season we're anticipating about twenty-thousand dollars worth of sales here
at the fireworks stand at the Mega
Center," said Turner.
Last July, fireworks sales were at an all-time high of one-hundred-and-fifty thousand dollars. All of the money raised goes to children in the Friendship School District.
Hundreds of people filled the Mega Store each day leading up to the Fourth of July this past summer.
Michelle Stuart, a volunteer for the FFA, also has a positive outlook for New Year's sales, but she said the weather isn't helping.
"The weather today hasn't really helped because of the ice," said Stuart."But we're hoping as the weather improves throughout the week that people will come out more for the fireworks."
Fireworks stores opened today, but all stands will open tomorrow. Stores and stands will remain open until midnight, January 1st.

- http://www.librarything.com/profile/MEMBERNAME (profile)
- http://www.librarything.com/catalog/MEMBERNAME (catalog)
If you want to direct your friends to a specific subset of your books (i.e. books you've tagged "on loan"), search for that tag within your library, and then click on the " permanent link" at the bottom of your catalog page. The URL that appears in your menu bar can be sent to friends and will only pull up the relevant subset of books.
Note: If you've set your account to private, your friends will not be able to view your library, but they will be able to see your profile page.
If you want a real online catalog to share with friends or library patrons, check out TinyCat! Powered by LibraryThing, TinyCat gives your visitors and patrons a simple, powerful way to explore your library's holdings. You'll also have access to an admin portal that allows you to customize your catalog, run circulation on your items, track patron information, and more. Go to https://www.librarycat.org/.
Can I set the display style for other people to view my catalog?
Yes. You can set a "Suggested display style for visitors to your library" by clicking "edit" next to the display styles in your catalog. Visitors then get this as an option to use this when they look at your library.
The title of my book is spelled wrong, can I change that?
Indeed, you can! You can edit almost all of the fields, either by double clicking in the appropriate cell in the list view of your catalog or by clicking the "edit" icon next to each book.
How do I change the book cover image, or add a new one?
Click the little "edit" icon. Now, in the box on the left hand side, you should see a blue link entitled "Change cover". Click that and change away! Note: Changing your cover to an Amazon cover also changes your book's ISBN.
For information on how to upload a cover image from your computer, see HelpThing:Work/Covers.
Can I read books on LibraryThing?
No. LibraryThing is a cataloging and social networking site for book lovers. We do not buy, sell, lend or have the capability to download books on our site.
How do I add a book that isn't in the LibraryThing database?
You can add any book on LibraryThing, even if it isn't on the site already. If you have already searched for the book and can't find it, you can add a book manually. On the "Add Books" tab, look for the heading "Other ways to add" on the left side of the screen. Underneath that heading is a link "Add books manually." Click the link and enter the book information in manually.
What are the "Buy, borrow or swap" links on every work page?
The "Buy, borrow or swap" links (on every book page on the right hand side) are links to various bookstores and libraries, so that you can search for that book elsewhere online. Each member can customize which links show up under "Buy, borrow or swap", so you can easily connect to your local library or favorite bookstore.
How do I edit my "Buy, borrow or swap" links?
The "Buy, borrow or swap" links can be edited in two ways. You can customize the links that appear on your pages by choosing from a large menu of possible book links. You can also edit the link page itself, adding new links for you and others to use.
- Adding links to your pages. To customize the links that appear on your pages, sign on to LibraryThing and click the pencil link next to "Buy, borrow or swap" on any book page. Then from the "Book links" page, you can click the "add" link next to any of the links, and it will be added to the "Your book links" sidebar on that page, and subsequently appear on all your book pages. To remove links, click the 'x' next to the link in the sidebar, and use the up and down arrows to change their order.
- Adding links to the Book links page. Links on this page are all ISBN-based. To add a new link to the "Book links" page, click on 'add a link' near the top of the page. In the popup, select the link type from the drop down menu, then type in your link subtype. Links should be ISBN-based, not to the front page of a site. (Here's an example of an ISBN-based link: http://worldcat.org/isbn/0385504209). To add an ISBN-based link to the Book links page, substitute the word "MAGICNUMBER" (in caps, without the quotes) for the ISBN. So the above link would be added like this: http://worldcat.org/isbn/MAGICNUMBER
Try the Book links group for more help and suggestions.
What is PowerEdit Mode?
If you click the icon in your library, you enter what we call "PowerEdit Mode". PowerEdit lets you change and edit your book data en masse. You can add and remove tags to many books at the same time, delete books, establish the languages your books are in, and find all the ISBN duplicates in your catalog. Make sure to hit the icon again to exit PowerEdit when you're done being powerful.
Yes. Use PowerEdit to replace one tag with another. The best way to do it is to click on the tag to bring up the list of all books with that tag. Then in PowerEdit, add the new tag, and then delete the old tag. (If you delete before you add, the list of books tagged "x" will disappear!)
You can also edit the tag by clicking on the tags view in your library and then mouse over a tag to see the edit link. You can even rename a tag to be the same as an existing tag to merge two tags.
Why is some of the text in my catalog green?
Items in green represent educated guesses based upon other LibraryThing catalogs. Green data only appears when your catalog is silent. This technique is used for LC call numbers, Dewey Decimal numbers, Library of Congress Subject Headings and the "original language" field.
How can I change green text to black?
Green data in some, but not all, fields can be replaced by black data that you have recognized. Open up your catalog ("Your library"), pick a display style that shows the column you want to edit, and double-click in any field that has green text that you want to accept. Make any changes you want and then click "SAVE". The text is now "black".*
This works for the LC Classification (also called "LC Call No.),
Hold on a minute! An LCCN is not the same as an LC Classification! The former looks like this: 70100116 and the latter looks like this: PZ7.D644 Bo.--Collectorator 18:05, 31 January 2009 (EST)Collectorator
Dewey No., and Original language fields. It does not work for Library of Congress Subject Headings (also called "Subject").
Why don't all of my books have Dewey Decimal numbers?
If having call numbers, etc. is important to you, then you should try to add your books using the Library of Congress or another library (instead of Amazon) as your "source" when adding books. You also benefit from the records that other LibraryThing users have—see "green text" above.
If my books are listed under the Library of Congress system, can they be converted over to the Dewey Decimal system?
How do I link to a book page from my blog?
There are several ways to create a link to a book. You can either just copy the URL to the work page, or you can use the permanent link located at the bottom right hand corner of every page. You can also create links using the ISBN or even a "sloppy title." Read more about how to do that on the easy linking instruction page.
Or you can put a widget on your blog.
What's all this about "combining"?
LibraryThing lets users be librarians, editing and correcting book data as they see fit. This means combining two author names together (C.S. Lewis and Clive Staples Lewis, for example); combining two tags which are synonymous ("nonfiction" with "non-fiction"); and combining "books" of different editions into a more global "work". Read more about this on LibraryThing's Concepts page, or see this Talk post for some basics on combining and separating.
Can I have a wishlist that doesn't count as books I own?
A wishlist will be included in the soon-to-be-debuted feature "Collections". Always, you can feel free to add the books you want to your catalog, and tag them 'wishlist', 'wantlist', etc., if you like.
There are now two comments fields, one of which ("Private Comments") is only visible to you when you're logged in. As of now, there is no way to make a subset of your books or tags private while leaving the rest public.
Can I catalog other materials that aren't books on LibraryThing?
Yes! You can catalog movies, music or any other type of media with ease. Check out the Talk post introducing it (http://www.librarything.com/topic/193036) and our page explaining the Media Taxonomy: http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/The_LibraryThing_Media_Taxonomy. Add the Media field to any of your display Styles in Your Books by Customizing Your Display Styles.

Well it's about time someone started a thread like this. I'll try to let someone else make the Merry Christmas thread.
What are you hoping to acquire, learn, and accomplish in 2006?
From a personal protection standpoint, I am trying to find a way to take a local intermediate refresher and advanced handgun course that uses force on force training, and a carbine course, all next summer. This is actually going to be very difficult with recent problems surfacing in my personal life but I'm hoping for the best.
From an academic and recreational point of view, I will be learning how to reload next year hopefully. I need more manuals and a scale first.
I hope to acquire an AR15 next year and learn the basics of how to use it. I've no aspirations of being a sharpshooter just yet, I just want to learn how to not shoot myself in the foot with it! I told myself I'd get my mitts on an AR15 before 2008 and next year will be the year I think.
I also aspire to get my mitts on an XD in .45 ACP if possible, and will try to take the plunge and get an AK47 clone if the opportunity arises. I wanted to do that this year but couldn't find one that wasn't a Century Arms import. I may have to swallow my nervousness and get a CAI anyway.

2016 Season:
Now and Zen: How mindfulness can change your brain and improve your health (March 8, 2016)
Harvard scientists were some of the first to uncover the impact of meditation on health. Their finding: mindfulness can change your brain in positive ways. At this seminar, a panel of Harvard Medical School faculty will discuss the neuroscience of meditation and mindfulness.
A Better Ending: A new beginning for the end of life (March 22, 2016)
Talking about death with family members or health care providers can be frightening and uncomfortable, but these conversations are necessary. In this seminar, find out how Harvard Medical School doctors are helping to transform end-of-life care by embracing—rather than avoiding—difficult conversations about ethics, palliative care and what patients want at the end of life.
Taking It All In: Environmental toxins and your health (April 5, 2016)
Chemicals are used in plastics, furniture, cosmetics and even in the foods we eat, while other pollutants contaminate our air and water. But do you know how these environmental exposures impact your health? Harvard Medical School researchers present the data behind this silent threat to your health.
The New Old Age: How the body ages and how to keep it young (April 19, 2016)
No one wants to become forgetful or less energetic as they age, but growing old is unavoidable—or is it? At this seminar, learn about the biology of aging and about scientific research at Harvard Medical School that may help keep you healthier and feeling younger at the same time.
2015 Season:
High-Tech Med: The newest wave of medical innovation (March 10, 2015)
From the introduction of the smallpox vaccine to the first successful kidney transplant to developing genome sequencing methods, Harvard Medical School researchers have been on the cutting edge of scientific discovery. In this seminar learn about today's innovative wonders being developed in Harvard laboratories, and what's next on the horizon as medicine and technology converge.
Was It Something I Ate? Understanding food allergies (March 31, 2015)
Are the foods we eat making us sick? The occurrence of allergic disease is skyrocketing and some estimate that as many as one in five Americans have an allergic condition, including reactions to foods. This seminar aims to improve our understanding of food allergies and intolerances, and explain how our modern diet may be contributing to a rise in these kinds of autoimmune disorders.
Music as Medicine: The impact of healing harmonies (April 14, 2015)
It's been said that music soothes the soul, but can it also help heal our bodies and help us learn? In this seminar, Harvard Medical School scientists and physicians share how they use music as a tool to help patients—from premature newborns to elderly stroke victims—survive and thrive.
Diseases Gone Global: What causes epidemics? (April 28, 2015)
Humankind is in an ongoing struggle against infectious invaders. New diseases are spreading around the globe and diseases that were once considered eradicated are now making a comeback. What's driving the resurgence? Where do these bugs come from? How do they spread? In this seminar researchers explain how they are developing ways to track, control and eventually cure these diseases.
2014 Season:
The Eyes Have It: Why and how you see (March 6, 2014)
There's more to eyes than meets the eye. Our eyes are small machines containing complex circuitry and our understanding of this machinery advances every day. How does the process of vision work? What happens when sight fails – whether it is traced to disease or genetics?

Up Close and Personal: Genetics and you (March 20, 2014)
As technologies improve and costs decrease, genome sequencing at the doctor's office could one day be as common as a cholesterol test. Genetic, or DNA, testing can be a powerful tool for investigating disease and genetic disorders, and it can also reveal information about an individual's ancestry. At the same time, increasing availability of testing raises ethical issues that until recently didn't even exist. Physicians, scientists, and ethicists alike are grappling with the myriad of issues that the unfolding genetic revolution is raising. At this seminar, HMS faculty experts discuss how and why DNA testing is done and what this fast-evolving field means for you.
Sound and Fury: Understanding post-traumatic stress disorder (April 10, 2014)

This seminar will illuminate the importance of sleep—how much is needed and why it is so vital to keep our bodies functioning. An audio podcast is also available.
It's All In Your Head: Building better brains through neuroengineering (April 2, 2013)
As the epicenter of the nervous system, the brain is a complex and fascinating organ. Our brains are the engines that drive our bodies to process information and communicate with the world. Scientists today are making groundbreaking strides in understanding the intricate circuitry in the brain that sends signals to various parts of the body, and how this knowledge can be used to repair or regenerate damaged cells. A panel of Harvard Medical School faculty members whose research explores neural circuitry will discuss this fast-evolving field. An audio podcast is also available.
Beyond Belief: Exploring the connection between personal beliefs and physical health (April 23, 2013)

As the childhood song goes, "If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it," but do you ever truly wonder why you're happy? Have you thought about where our emotions come from and why they make us feel the way we do? A panel of Harvard faculty members whose research sheds light on the range of human emotion will explore the science behind the smiles and tears. An audio podcast is also available.
Panning for Therapeutic Gold: Cancer genetics (April 3, 2012)
