Few companies can claim to have dramatically changed the way that the world does business. Microsoft, one of the world's top software companies, certainly can. Once a small business founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in Washington, Microsoft grew to become one of the world's most popular, profitable, and influential companies.
Founded in the late 1970s as a way for childhood friends Bill Gates and Paul Allen to profit from their shared computing skills, Microsoft came into being when the smart, enterprising pair noticed an opportunity to build a BASIC interpreter for the at the time groundbreaking Altair 8800 micro-computer. Despite not actually owning an Altair of their own, the pair set about building their interpreter for the device using a simplistic simulation. The pair contacted Altair's development team and showed them the interpreter, starting a successful business partnership where MITS, the Altair's parent company, distributed their work.

"other old physical printers still on the printer list"
Do you mean printers previously being used but now redundant and/or disconnected from the PC?
If so, un-install the software for these printers.
I'm not surprised that Word is having problems if it's 'hunting' for several non-existent printers

The inescapable truth of human nature is that we are all at our absolute worst while parallel parking.
No relationship, no matter how loving, is safe from the hellish monsters all humans morph into while trying to slip their cars into a curbside spot. That's why I've prepared this basic, turn-by-turn guide for the harsh reality of parallel parking with your significant other.
1. Selecting the parking spot.
Choosing the spot is a vital step because it sets the tone for the type of fight you are about to have—and you are about to have a fight. It can be tempting to select your own space but it's important to go for the one your boyfriend just indicated by helpfully screaming "there's a spot!!" fifty feet too late. Even if you have your eyes on a space up ahead that would fit like a glove, go around the block and take the spot he found. Using his selection will give you an upper hand in the fight you don't realize has already begun.

The defence minister for people and veterans Tobias Ellwood showed his support for the leading employment charity for disabled veterans in Richmond today (September 7).
Supporting veterans with health conditions or impairments since 1922, The Poppy Factory works with businesses across the country to provide opportunities and ongoing employment support for hundreds of disabled veterans, of all ages and from all Services.
The factory employs about 30 disabled veterans to produce the poppies and wreaths for the Royal Family and The Royal British Legion's annual Poppy Appeal.
The charity has been making the poppies since 1922
Mr Ellwood, who served himself and reached the rank of captain in the Royal Green Jackets, said it was a "real pleasure" to visit the Factory.
He said: "It recognises the lack of opportunities for ex-personnel who have huge transferable skills.
"It allows them to find bespoke work and the charity has a huge success record- 70 per cent of veterans keep their jobs beyond 12 months."
The minister said it was "very pleasing" to hear of the charity's success.
He added: "We have 2.5 million armed forces veterans, many of whom successfully integrate into society but some do not.
"It can be very disheartening reintegrating- simply a struggle.
"Many veterans can feel exposed and alone.
"And it is particularly traumatic after an injury."
The Government has programmes in place to help disabled veterans such as the Armed Forces Covenant, which provides support to members of the armed forces community in areas of education, housing, careers, access to healthcare, financial assistance and discounted services.
Along with this the recently launched Veterans Gateway Programme provides a single portal connecting veterans to a huge network of organisations.
It is the first point of contact for veterans seeking support.
But Mr Ellwood said there is a reliance on charities such as The Poppy Factory to provide extra support.
He said: "We all owe our veterans a huge debt of gratitude.
"We put them in harm's way, in dangerous situations and in times of crisis they step forward and provide the support we need.
"We need to recognise the sacrifice they have made and look after them."
The Poppy Factory CEO, Deirdre Mills, said: "We were delighted to welcome the minister to The Poppy Factory to showcase the vital work we are doing to support veterans with health conditions back into employment.
"The Poppy Factory will continue to ensure that veterans' skills and experiences are recognised by employers, whilst also supporting businesses with the experience of employing people with a disability.
"The minister also met our dedicated productions staff who are busy producing the poppies and wreaths for the Royal Family and The Royal British Legion's annual Poppy Appeal."
To support The Poppy Factory go here.

'Labour of love' launched
Lynley Colling had more reason than most to cheer when her husband's recreational fishing boat Evander was relaunched in Riverton yesterday, almost three years after it sank in the town's harbour.
Mrs Colling was among the family and friends who applauded as her husband Leigh Colling refloated his "labour of love" after effectively rebuilding the boat.
Mr Colling was beaming with pride as he started up the engine.
It had taken almost two years to rebuild it and during that time his wife Lynley had barely seen him, he said.
"I am just elated to have it back on the water, I missed it terribly. I didn't think it would ever be finished," he said.
On February 28, 2010, the 9-metre boat sank at its berth and was reported to have 500 litres of diesel on board at the time.
A team of Environment Southland staff put a boom in place to block the fuel from spreading in the estuary.
Riverton divers also plugged the boat's fuel vents to stop further leakage.
Mr Colling, a hobby farmer, said the boat sank because a tsunami tide had broken a rope and the back of the boat went under the wharf as the tide rose.
Several days later, Riverton fishermen refloated the boat for him, putting sand bags underneath, while the Riverton Fire Service pumped the water out.
It was a community effort, he said
"We have a great community here. When the chips were down and I really needed help, they were there."
He did not start fixing the boat until about one year after the sinking.
"I had to get permission from the wife first and once I started she had to drag me inside for meals," he said.
Everything in the boat had been destroyed and the vessel was basically rebuilt, he said.
Professional ship builders had repaired two holes in its hull and he had bought new parts to finish it himself.
Mr Colling said he planned to take the boat to Stewart Island next month to collect oysters, fish for blue cod and camp. He used to travel to the island every year.

And more than 1500 years before the western feminists made this argument, the were arguing that women had the same sexual urges as men, and there is no reason why unmarried women shouldn't learn about their sexuality and orgasms the same way that men do. When is the right time to begin to have sex in a relationship?
The only time that is right is when you want to have sex. If you and/or your partner does not want to have sex, then it is not the right time.
Girls/young women in particular should know that it is extremely important that they feel they not only have the physical urge to have sex, but also feel mentally and emotionally prepared.
If you feel — afraid, uncomfortable, guilty, ashamed, or pressurized, it is not the time to have sex.
Over and over again we hear stories like this, full of despair and self-destruction among teenagers and youth in India, who are confused and ashamed about issues of sex. And then how can they, when they themselves have a distorted and stigmatized view of sex?
Below I've summarized some of the issues and topics that came up in the chats repeatedly, with the hope that it will help more young people with doubts and question. Conversely, if in your head sex is a normal need; it is the right choice for you.
I've also included relevant links that I urge you to follow if you need more information. Interestingly, this is a bigger issue in India today than it was in the past.
Indian mythology is full of stories of women, like Shakuntala and Kunti who had pre-marital sex.

Robert Ritch was asked; What small business should I start?
It is imperative to remember but whatever you choose is the vocation for your business is not as important is Learning the art of running a business. Being excellent at a task does not directly translate into being able to run a successful business.
If I am assuming about the question that this is your first business, please email me back if this is wrong and given that assumption, It is important to choose something that you already have a skill set and knowledge in. So rather than I provide a list of the trending businesses to start at this time, I would encourage you to stay with what you know. The reasoning behind this is, there will always be hurdles you will have to overcome no matter what you choose. Having to take the time to learn a new skill set or knowledge base could be overwhelming and take too long which good result in your business failing.
Many people are satisfied with starting and running one simple business, but for me, every business I have owned has increased my skills at running a business the allowing me the opportunity to now own and invest in multiple companies.
So, in conclusion, I would encourage you to choose a business that you can get up and operating for the lowest cost and least amount of time which will provide you the opportunity to learn and have the opportunity to exit sooner rather than later. Once you have exited you, simply rinse and repeat. I wish you well in your endeavors!
Robert Ritch is a successful entrepreneur and investor who has founded, built and successfully exited four multimillion dollar companies. He has also completed over 1 billion dollars in investment deals. Rob created the ask Rob blog and YouTube channel as a way to give back and assist aspiring entrepreneurs and Business owners.

[Eli's Hammer [ II KINGS 18:27 ]
They are--by the Internet Standard--truely "Teabaggers." They hump the face of their opposition as is fitting the term.
(A feat which is hard to do when wrapped in that much Aluminum foil--I might add.)
So many issues, where to begin? Well, I'll start by saying I'm a Veteran and was career military. Guess that pretty much gives folks an idea where I stand on our great Nation.
Mr Temple; you make several valid points regarding the upcoming trials for the Guantanamo "detainees". Had the War Criminal in Chief, commonly known as George W Bush, not violated just about every international law known regarding the treatment of prisoners captured during armed conflict, we would not be faced with the issue of trying these people in civil court.
He declared the US Constitution a "piece of paper", denied the detainees POW status, tortured them in direct violation of US law and International law, just to name a few.
I could on and on, but to sum it up, we have no choice but to move forward with the trials and at taxpayers expense. Someone has to clean up the mess Bush left behind.
Dan Wiedeback; I also agree with you, the Tea Party should be called by its proper name. I do however wonder where the Tea Party was when President Bush tossed aside the Constitution with his Patriot Act? Where were they when he gave tax breaks to the wealthiest 1% of Americans.
I think if you pull up a roster of the leadership of the Tea Party and do some research on them, you'll find few if any make less than 250k per year.
I agree with the idea of the Tea Party. I just dislike it being led by Carpet Baggers masquerading as concerned average Americans.
Brian Lind
"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'" (Author unknown)
Whoa! Using the term "tea baggers" is no where near comparable to using hate speech like "Fags". Shame on you!
Dan Wiedeback:
Sorry to break this to ya, fella, but the BW and it's readers didn't coin the term 'Teabaggers' for those idiots...THEY DID.
When they first started up, they themselves adopted that term...soon after, they learned what reference it had in the 'adult venacular' and quickly attempted to change it to 'Tea Party'...sorry, guys, too late.
The first choice suits them MUCH better, as it displays their inability to think anything through logically, their clear lack of research, and their ultimately flawed logic...plus, it's deliciously ironic.
Sorry, I will continue to refer to them by the original term THEY THEMSELVES adopted as their own, it's far too fitting.
Patricia Ann Murphy:
I agree with every word you wrote, 100%...I happen to be one of the very 'Couch Potatoe' voters you described (nice to have a name for our 'party', thanks!...;) and I stand behind our President 100% as well...I'm proud to have cast my vote for him, and plan to do so again...let the uneducated hate-mongers hurl their uninformed, petty labels such as 'socialist' and 'communist'...I feel nothing but pity for them and their small minds, their lack of ability to comprehend anything beyond the status quo...
Sucks to be them, eh?...;)
Thanks again, Patricia Ann Murphy!
Global warming is a popular catch-phrase for what's better described as global climate shift. With changing precipitation patterns, the agricultural resources of our country are threatened.
Before considering data as presented by the media, it is advisable and informative to strip the information of its shock value and read articles written directly by scientists for publication in peer reviewed journals. See:
Hurd, B.H. et al., 2004, Climactic change and U.S. water resources: From modeled watershed impacts to national estimates, Journal of the American Water Resources Association, 40, 129-148
Freas, K. et al., 2008, Incorporating climate change in water planning, American Water Works Association. Journal, 100, 92-99
Barnett, T.P. et al., 2005, Potential impacts of a warming climate on water availability in snow-dominated regions, doi:10.1038/nature04141
For the opposite argument, and without the intent of being facetious, see
Robinson, A.B. et al., 2007, Environmental effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, 12, 79-90.
To address the complaint about legislation concerning hybrid cars, America should be focused on reducing dependence on foreign oil. The introduction mile-per-gallon standards is a far cry from an ill-conceived plan to limit American freedom.
""In 10 to 20 years, there will be a history book with a chapter titled: 'Age of Idiocy, when Democrats and Obama ran it all."
Yes, but the whole world already looks at Bush and the Republics that way....
Richard, as a U.S. citizen and veteran you should know better. In the Declaration of Independence there is a very thoughtful phrase that frames the beliefs of our founding fathers. It goes like this "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal".
You attempt to point out my 'shortcomings' via condescention...how quaint.
I tend to have a short fuse regarding those that turn a blind eye to the obvious...why waste time attempting civil discourse with someone who obviously (via his initial letter) has parted from the facts long before I came onto the scene?
You point out that you 'recycle and call people out for littering, and ride a bike when it's not below freezing', etc...small potatoes if you are choosing to ignore the fact of global warming...you are basically spitting on a forest fire and claiming that you are 'helping to put it out'...big deal. This may make you feel like you are doing something to help, you are NOT.
I stand by my initial statements.
Patience, you are right. Shame on me for that but belatedly here is the reference for my claim that "the earth is much warmer now then during the Medieval Warm Period" from the NOAA website http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarmi…
I checked out the Americanthinker.com site that Colin also belatedly referenced but didn't have time to sort through the biased drivel there to find anything supporting his claim. No real science there anyway, just commentary on science with a few links of interest, maybe he has a link to specifics.
The tone of your reply sounds like Jonathan Edward's famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." The earth will not get better or worse because of your anger.
BTW, science isn't about majority rule, it's about discovering truth. In the global warming debate, the search for truth has taken a backseat to a political agenda. Even if AWG is ever proven beyond a reasonable doubt, which it hasn't, the policy and political response appears already set in stone. Why are policies such as cap and trade automatically the only and best solutions?
Oh sorry, here is the link to the article: http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller21…
I find it amusing that you think you know me because of where I stand on global warming. You assume that I continue to "blindly destroy the environment with no regrets," yet you do not know me in any way. This fact is quite obvious, because I recycle everything that I can, call people out for littering, and ride my bike when it's not below freezing. As you so aptly put it, "Way to presume...and be WRONG."
As for who benefits from global warming, I hope you will read this article by Donald Miller. It looks into an alternate, viable theory as to why the climate changes, as well as this tidbit on perhaps why so many scientists play along:
"Global warming is now a $5 billion industry, which benefits the government and its politicians and bureaucrats, environmental activists, the media, executives and shareholders of 'green' industries, and climate scientists. Businesses profit by gaming the regulatory and planned 'cap and trade' process rather than have to make money by producing things people want. The ("good news is no news") media shamelessly plays along and profits by frightening people. And we see how the movement's most prominent activist, former Vice President Al Gore benefits. Climate scientists are awarded $1.7 billion a year in government grants to study climate change, but under the condition that these scientists continue to support the 'consensus' or lose their funding. Climate scientist Richard Lindzen, in Climate of Fear, writes : 'Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis.'"
Makes sense to me. Oh and I've seen some of your other posts on here, so let me make a friendly suggestion to you, karcreat2: If you really believe in what you're saying, don't belittle and insult people who have a different opinion. Convince them with facts, not hatred. You have neglected to give ANY facts, and have instead resorted to empty rhetoric. People who do this, in my experience, tend to feel threatened by what the other has to say.
Patience Dogood:
"Collin asked good questions and deserves better than ad hominem attacks and belittlement."
No, he didn't...and no he does NOT. His claims (that global warming is a 'hoax' being done for money) is flat out ludicrous. WHO stands to benefit from attempting to get us to treat the planet better? No one. It's insulting and silly...so that's what he got as a response from me. He neglected to mention the THOUSANDS of credited scientists (who outweigh the few nay sayers he stands behind) who have stated that is is factual...how convenient.
"I can tell you are close minded"
Said the pot to the kettle.
"the college encourages students to think for themselves, not blindly follow what the media tells them."
Way to presume...and be WRONG.
I DO think for myself, I just tend to believe what makes more SENSE...apparentley you do NOT. I sincerely pity people like you, blind to the facts (or hell, even the POSSIBILITIES) as you trudge along, continuing blindly to destroy the enviornment with no regrets...I'm sure your children will thank you for it.
Here's the citation. Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, is the one who wrote the quote I cited. Sorry I did not include that. Karcreat2 and Ericn1300, do you not see something wrong with this picture when the head of the NCAR can not find anything to worry about? I can tell you both are very closed-minded, but it wouldn't hurt you to take a look at this page: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/09/glo…
From that webpage: "Another researcher, Shaopeng Huang at the University of Michigan, and two others published a 1997 analysis of 6000 borehole records yielding temperature profile data from each continent, dating back 20,000 years [5]. Analysis of that data clearly showed signs of the Medieval Warm Period followed by the Little Ice Age and confirmed that temperatures in the 12th Century were significantly warmer than today." This is my response to ericn1300's claim.
Yes, I believe the climate is changing. No, I don't believe it's because of humans. The earth is constantly going through climate cycles. It has since before man walked the earth.
Also, if you are going to discredit education at the College of Idaho because of one letter, karcreat2, I'm glad you are not associated with it. Many people at the school may disagree with my letter, but the college encourages students to think for themselves, not blindly follow what the media tells them.
I live in a solar-heated house, drive a 70 mpg Honda Insight, worked for a quarter century to help improve life in the developing world, didn't attend College of Idaho (although it is a well-regard school by those who know), and grow my own food, which pretty much meets all your criteria for being a person qualified to comment on Collin's questions. From my apparently qualified perspective, Collin asked good questions and deserves better than ad hominem attacks and belittlement.
You made a major claim in your last sentence without giving a reference for it. Maybe you should follow your own advice about footnoting your claims.
I agree with karcreat2. If it is a hoax it would have to have a perpetrator who had something to gain from said hoax.
Then Colin quotes one scientist and ignores the thousands of others and doesn't even attribute the quote.
And Colin the earth is much warmer now then during the Medieval Warm Period, get your facts right, foot note your references and more importantly stay in school.
Colin Slaughter:
In college, huh?
'College of Idaho'? (Making note to NEVER recommend this college, due to the apparent lack of an actual education there)
So Global Warming is all just a HOAX, to 'steal money from tax payers'...Uh huh.
To what END, I ask?
This ridiculous arguement is only put forth by people that want to continue driving their pathetic SUV's while gobbling up the majority of the planet's resources, nothing more...lazy, self centered folks who regard having to change their ways as 'Un-American'.
Let's just pretend for a moment that it IS all 'a hoax' (it's not)...would it freakin' KILL YOU to conserve, to TRY to help our planet, to extend our resources rather than foolishly and selfishly squander them?
No, that would mean that you would have to TRY, to DO WITH LESS...and that's the REAL CRIME here, isn't it?

I would not by a home in a neighborhood I could afford if i was the only white family.

I would rather my child would : hit ( be hit by ) marry , work for ( be hired by ) procreate ( get procreated by ) A Ginger than a brown.
When the earliest of age, I never thought that way....then I was taught to never think that way ....and now I find myself today ....feeling that way.

Is it so the stretch to dislike a speedway , then not appreciate the folks who promote the speedway, then learn to hate even the noise of of the speedway area?
Why are WE like this ?
Is it possible that all are with preference and that preference should not be admonished ?
At the risk of not knowing myself;
Should not diversity be protected ...
And in that regard, should we not preserve the GINGER ?

Purchase includes copies of the octavo for one choir and one fiddle part.
Miles and Miles is a modern Christmas Carol with an optional nordic fiddle part.
I began writing Miles and Miles almost exactly 10 years ago for the VocalEssence Welcome Christmas competition. My wife and I had just traveled from Texas to Minnesota for me to start a new job at St. Olaf College. I was literally in the middle of composing when I got the phone call from my wife that she was going into labor with our first child. I missed my first day of class to see my son born. Needless to say, I missed the deadline for submission, and never got back to this little carol.
Ten years later I was going through my old files and stumbled on this little half-finished piece. I was struck that it is of course the Christmas story told from the point of view of a young couple about to have their first baby. Miles and miles to go indeed. In the final perfect coincidence, I got the call that I had won the Welcome Christmas competition on my son's 10th birthday.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Sure, I'll dash that off in 500 words.
1. Even if we figure out the exact answer, your child will be on the giving and receiving end of meanness. There's no avoiding it altogether. Best Friends, Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Lives of Children (Thompson/O'Neill-Grace/Cohen), which I recommend often, is very clear and reassuring on this. Kids have to learn how to get along just as they have to learn to walk, and the process isn't pretty sometimes.
2. How are you at tightrope-walking? To raise kids who don't bully, you need to supervise them carefully and correct them as needed, like when they say mean things to people's faces or behind their backs: "Hey — how would you feel if someone said that to/about you?" To raise kids who don't allow others to bully them, you need to teach your kids to assert themselves instead of your doing it for them. It's a constant balancing and rebalancing act as they grow, but it hinges on learning to step in only when their own defenses aren't strong enough to protect them (with abusive relatives, for example). Bonus: You don't know whether you've gotten it right until it's almost too late to do anything about it. And, different kids/temperaments/personalities need different balances.
3. Another kind of balance matters, too — between their feeling important to you, and their not being misled into thinking they're the center of the earth. Your home needs to be a safe place for them to express their feelings and try new things (which will include trying on the idea of being mean to you) and to be significant, but you also need to be the boss. And, the wide, wide world also needs to figure in their education. They need to get out, see others unlike them, give of themselves to others, get introduced to big ideas.
All this and more. (I opened a reader-discussion forum on it, too: bit.ly/BullyBGone.)
Good point, thanks. This is an extension of the home-as-safe-place point I made, but it's important enough to warrant breaking it out. In a two-parent home, the respect in that relationship is on display at all times, too, especially when everyone's guard is down.

The Insects Are Watching: The Future of Government Surveillance Technology
In June of 2011, the US military admitted to having drone technology so sophisticated that it could be the size of a bug.
In what is referred to as the "microaviary" on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, drones are in development and design to replicate the flight patterns of moths, hawks and other air-borne creatures of the natural world.
Greg Parker, aerospace engineer, explains: "We're looking at how you hide in plain sight" for the purpose of carrying out espionage or kill missions.
Cessna-sized Predator drones, used to carry out unmanned attacks, are known around the world. The US Pentagon has an estimated 7,000 aerial drones in their arsenal.
In 2011, the Pentagon requested $5 billion for drones from Congress by the year 2030.
Their investigative technology is now moving toward "spy flies" equipped with sensors and mircocameras to detect enemies and nuclear weapons.

Anyone watching bank chiefs on television sets around half past two on Tuesday after the monetary policy review would have concluded that paying higher interest rates on their home and car loans will go on for a while. The captains of Indian finance were firm that they do not have the room to bring down lending rates despite Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan reducing it by half a percentage point in two instalments since January.
But around half past six, things turned upside down. State Bank of India, the biggest lender, announced a reduction in its base rate, the rate below which it can't lend, by 15 basis points to 9.85%. So did HDFC Bank. It was just a token cut, but that was a reflection of the tough talk Governor Rajan had delivered.
But is it in the nature of Rajan to micro-manage? Or is he just sinking into the ways of the RBI? Probably, a bit of both.
For someone who had put consumer price inflation as the primary factor for determining rate decisions, placing monetary transmission ahead of everything else in his forward guidance is a bit of a shocker. "I do see an environment where credit growth is tepid, banks are sitting on money, and their marginal cost of funding has fallen," said Rajan. "The notion that it has not fallen is nonsense." This is as good as a direction to banks to behave after their hectic lobbying for an increase in liquidity, be it through a reduction in cash reserve ratio — the proportion of deposits banks have to keep with RBI — or through US dollar purchases. But the man who maintained overnight rates close to his policy rates at the fiscal year end is not going to budge.
With the profitability of some of the Indian banks, their argument doesn't hold water. State Bank's net interest margin is at 3.12% and for HDFC Bank, it is 4.4%. Compare that with the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China's 2.66% and Bank of China's 2.25%.
Then comes the proposal to permit companies to float rupee bonds in overseas markets. It appears to be a bold move in line with Rajan's promise on the day he took charge to have more financial instruments. But a closer look reveals he is reluctant to raise the limit on overseas investors owning more of Indian bonds. Keeping the doors open for overseas funds, he is shifting the currency exchange risk to the investor from the issuer. It may be an easy way out of managing currency risk away from Indian companies not hedging their USD borrowing, but it could defeat the idea of bringing more trading into India.
Investors may buy rupee bonds, but if they hedge, it could be in the non-deliverable forwards, which the RBI despises. That runs contrary to what he had said: "Better that investors take positions domestically and provide depth and profits to our economy than take our markets to foreign shores."
Is Rajan changing RBI, or is it the other way round?

Phils look to progress with Spring Training here
Camp to open Tuesday in Clearwater, Fla.
With Spring Training fast approaching, MLB.com will take a look at a different aspect of this year's Phillies squad each day this week. The final topic: Spring Training is here.
PHILADELPHIA -- Pete Mackanin opens his second Spring Training as Phillies manager this week at Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Fla.
Expectations will be a little higher than his first.
The Phillies won 71 games in 2016, but Mackanin believes they have the ability to be a .500 team this year. If that is not entirely realistic, they at least should be a few games better than this past season. Philadelphia finished last in baseball in scoring last season, so the offense will need to improve considerably
Phillies Spring Training previews: What's the Difference? | Who might Surprise? | How's your Star? | What's the Vision? | Predicting the 25-man roster
Regardless, this should be another interesting year, because the Phillies want to see more progress from their young players. Phillies fans will have the opportunity to see many of their top prospects early in the Grapefruit League schedule.
Here is a look at what's on tap this spring:
Pitchers and catchers report: Tuesday.
First full-squad workout: Friday.
First Spring Training game: Feb. 24 @ Yankees, 1:05 p.m. ET.
First home Spring Training game: Feb. 25 vs. Yankees, 1:05 p.m. ET.
New faces: LF Howie Kendrick, RF Michael Saunders, RHPs Clay Buchholz, Joaquin Benoit and Pat Neshek.
Interesting non-roster invitees: LHP Sean Burnett, catchers Ryan Hanigan and Bryan Holaday, OFs Chris Coghlan and Daniel Nava.
Prospects to watch: RHPs Drew Anderson, Mark Appel, Victor Arano, Ben Lively, Ricardo Pinto, Nick Pivetta and Alberto Tirado, LHP Elniery Garcia, catchers Jorge Alfaro and Andrew Knapp, 1B Rhys Hoskins and Brock Stassi, 2B Scott Kingery and Jesmuel Valentin, SS J.P. Crawford, OFs Dylan Cozens, Roman Quinn, Cameron Perkins, Andrew Pullin and Nick Williams.

Main Characters
Our "hero" in the series' first 3D title - a former San Andreas street racer, Claude met Catalina during a race in Red County, and after losing his garage to rival racer Carl "CJ" Johnson, he and Catalina set out on a lust-fueled, 9-year criminal rampage across the country. Unfortunately for him, Catalina wasn't the "long-term relationship" type - she shot him in a back alley after a bank heist in Liberty City, stealing his share of the money and leaving him for dead. He was picked up by the cops and sent to prison, but as luck would have it, the Colombian Cartel raided the bus transporting him in search of a mysterious VIP, and he escaped along with fellow prisoner 8-Ball. With 8-Ball's help, he began his criminal career anew, working his way up the criminal ladder in search of money, power, and - if possible - revenge.
Other Appearance: San Andreas
- Ambiguous Situation: What happens as the credits roll.
- Best Served Cold: One interpretation of the game is that all of Claude's murders, mayhem, and madness was all to get at Catalina.
- The Cameo: Has an appearance on a movie poster in Vice City, and in IV, Niko can don his leather jacket and green pants. In addition, graffiti with his name on it can be seen in an apartment building. He's also shown as the protagonist in the Grand Theft Auto 2 cinematic.
- Previous Player-Character Cameo: In San Andreas, he appears as one of CJ's street racing rivals.
- Chick Magnet: Apart from being with Catalina for nine years(god knows how), Maria and Asuka both want him.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Claude's defining trait. Claude will turn on anyone as long as there's money to be made.
- Justified Trope in his long-time lover and confidant, Catalina, did the exact same thing to him. Salvatore Leone does the same thing to him as well, only Claude gets a warning first. And King Courtney tries it too. Let's face it, by the end of the game, Claude would have trouble trusting anyone not to turn on him, so why not turn on them first?
- The Dog Bites Back: Catalina is implied to use, abuse, and discard men like tissue paper. Claude is the first to get back at her.
- Flipping the Bird: Claude can sometimes be seen sticking his middle finger up at cars when he stands in the middle of the road and drivers horn at him.
- Handicapped Badass: Claude is mute, and is still able to conquer the Liberty City underworld in a very short timespan, form associations with the Yakuza and kill Catalina, who is the leader of a multinational drug cartel.
- Hazy Feel Turn: Due to Claude's silence, we never actually get his opinions on any of his employers and whether or not he felt any loyalty to them whatsoever.
- Hell-Bent for Leather: Well, his upper attire at least.
- Heroic Mime: The implication is that he genuinely lacks the ability to verbalize. This may or may not be Fanon, though, due to the only "evidence" being CJ accusing him of being a mute in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. If true, however, it may be an Ascended Meme.
- It's Personal: It's subtle; Claude's betrayals become much more pronounced and cold-blooded once Catalina (re)enters the picture.
- The Mafia: Briefly becomes a member of it after a member invites him to join. It ends when Salvatore comes to the conclusion Claude is sleeping with his moll. Later joins the Yakuza.
- It is likely that Sal tried to entice him with the false promise of membership to do more of his dirty work, despite that Claude is most likely not italian, and is unable to claim full membership in the italian mob.
- Limited Wardrobe: Outside of the first mission, in which Claude wears his prison jumpsuit, Claude is always seen in his iconic leather jacket and green pants.
- Meaningful Name: Claude is Latin for "lame". GTA III Claude is a mute.
- Ironic Nickname: An accidental example, Maria calls Claude 'Fido' believing him to be Salvatore Leone's loyal lap/attack dog. The irony comes from fido being Latin for faithful, something Claude is not.
- Mistaken for Cheating: Salvatore thinks Claude is sleeping with his wife. Mostly because Maria said they were.
- Mythology Gag: He's almost identical to "Claude Speed" of the Grand Theft Auto 2 intro. While no official statement has been made, the prevailing opinion in the fandom is that he's the same.
- This would be inconsistent however, since Claude Speed was in his late twenties during Grand Theft Auto 2, which is stated to take place in 2013. This would mean that this Claude was 7 at the time San Andreas takes place, and 16 when GTA III takes place.
- Then again, some sources say that GTA2 takes place in 1999...
- No Name Given: The name "Claude" was first found in in-game files, and later confirmed in San Andreas.
- Only in It for the Money: One of his main motivations, as evidenced by his willingness to betray former partners.
- Revenge: His primary motivation along with money.
- Roaring Rampage of Rescue: The final mission is basically this, for Maria.
- Super Drowning Skills: Though the game handwaves it by explaining that Liberty City's water is polluted to the point of toxicity.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He is certainly tall, and several women, including Catalina and Maria find him attractive.
- Tranquil Fury: He literally doesn't say a word when he's putting up a fight.
- The Voiceless: Claude is mute. He doesn't even make a noise when he is set on fire. The only time he makes a noise is a pained (albeit quiet) grunt whenever he lands from a big height.
Claude's ex-girlfriend, Catalina is the cousin of Los Santos gang leader Cesar Vialpando. Through her cousin, she met Carl "CJ" Johnson, an exiled member of the Grove Street Families, and set out on a crime spree with him. She took a... "liking" to him, and violent, one sided love affair began to take form... That is, until she met Claude, whereupon the two fled the state, harassing CJ with obscene phonecalls whenever they could. For the next 9 years, she and Claude rampaged across the country, but by 2001, she had grown bored of him. Hoping to find some other criminal opportunities, she shot and betrayed Claude after a bank robbery in Liberty City, and began a new career with the Colombian Cartel that often placed her in direct conflict with Claude.
Other Appearance: San Andreas
- And Your Little Dog, Too!: "Leave the panic button or I kill your children, too!"
- Asshole Victim: At the end of GTA III, she pays with her life by getting gunned down by her ex-boyfriend.
- Ax-Crazy: And so! In GTA III, she already shoots two of her apparent love interests, but it goes even further in San Andreas that would make Trevor Philips blush - she has graves dug by her house, sexually abuses CJ while neurotically threatening to kill/castrate him (and still somehow thinks they're in love), and takes glee in killing any cops or civilians who get in her way.
- Bare Your Midriff: In San Andreas and the Xbox version of "GTA III".
- Big Bad: Of Grand Theft Auto III. In addition to being behind the proliferation of SPANK, the new drug sweeping Liberty City, she betrayed Claude at the beginning of the game to join the Cartel, eventually becoming its de facto leader and having them shoot Claude on sight.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: To be perfectly fair, it's served her pretty well until it came back to bite her at the end of GTA III.
- Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male: In San Andreas, where her sexual abuse of CJ is Played for Laughs.
- Establishing Character Moment: Our first glimpse of her is shooting Claude and his partner, then snatching up the stolen money for herself.
- In San Andreas, Carl comes upon her threatening a bar full of helpless men with a knife, taunting their lack of masculinity.
Catalina: "You big streak of Yankee piss! I've seen fucking eunuchs with more balls that you!"
- In San Andreas, Carl comes upon her threatening a bar full of helpless men with a knife, taunting their lack of masculinity.
- Flanderization: In GTA III Catalina is for the most part just a drug kingpin with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, aside from a few crazier moments. In San Andreas, she is completely insane, changes mood within a few minutes, makes a lot of references to torture and even cannibalism and could probably give Trevor Philips a run for his money.
- For the Evulz: While most other antagonists have personal or professional reasons for their actions against the heroes, she just enjoys robbing, killing, and betraying people.
- Freudian Excuse: This dialogue from San Andreas, spoken in one of her robbery missions.
Catalina: Carl, you have to be fast and totally ruthless! No fucking about like in the betting shop!
CJ: What?! If you hadn't started bustin' things would've been sweet!
Catalina: They had to die because you were slow and stupid! *choking and quietly sobbing* Like a big fat brat who eats chocolates while his father gives nothing to his stepdaughter but stale bread!
CJ: What? Where did that come from?
Catalina: Enough! I'm not speaking to you anymore!
- Hair-Trigger Temper / Hot-Blooded: In San Andreas, though not so much in III.
- It's All About Me: She only cares about working by herself, and betrays just about anyone whom she works with. This would later come back to bite her hard when she decides to betray her current boyfriend, Claude.
- I'm a Humanitarian: In San Andreas she threatens to cook and eat a police officer's testicles, and, while angry with Carl for some reason, says he's lucky he's not on her barbecue being eaten.
- Jerkass: At her nicest moments.
- Kick the Son of a Bitch: She is the victim of this at the end of Grand Theft Auto III, and in Catalina's case, it's more like "Kick the Bitch".
- Laughably Evil: In San Andreas, even CJ doesn't often take her seriously.
- No Indoor Voice: In San Andreas.
- Noodle Implements: Carl's unpleasant experience with her "rack."
- Psychopathic Womanchild: She acts more like a Bratty Teenage Daughter in a grown woman's body in San Andreas.
- Serial Killer: She has three bodies buried in her yard, and it is unknown why.
- The Sociopath: Is shooting two of her own love interests at the beginning of III not good enough for you?
- Spicy Latina: Doesn't even begin to describe her. Cesar describing her as "intense" is the understatement of the century.
- Yandere: In San Andreas, where she often goes from sweet and caring to batshit insane on a whim.
Maria Latore
Salvatore Leone's much-suffering wife. His neglectful and uncaring attitude causes her to constantly cheat on him and spend his money out of spite. Later becomes involved with Claude, for whom her feelings are more genuine. May or may not have been killed by Claude at the end of the game.
Other Appearances: San Andreas and Liberty City Stories
- All There in the Script: Her surname.
- Ambiguously Bi: She gets it on with a lot of men, but it would also appear that her friendship with Asuka comes with benefits.
- Brainless Beauty: She's not very bright. See The Load and Too Dumb to Live below. Arguably played more straight in Liberty City Stories, though.
- Golddigger: Is only with Salvatore Leone because of his money.
- It appears that she was pursuing Toni under the belief that he had money. When she realizes he is virtually penniless she snaps at him and warns him to "never to hit on her again".
- The Load: The source of endless amounts of trouble for both Tony and Claude.
- Though she does warn you about Salvatore's betrayal and sets you up with Asuka.
- Mafia Princess: LCS sees her in the middle of the life, and III sees her at the tail-end of it.
- MayDecember Romance: Justified because she's obviously married him for his money. Becomes a Relationship Writing Fumble since, until the last mission, most GTA 3 players assumed she was Salvatore Leone's daughter rather than wife.
- Too Dumb to Live: Subverted that it's not really her who will lose life. But by telling Salvatore that she has entered a relationship with Claude, this caused Salvatore to betray and try to kill Claude.
- In Liberty City Stories she informed a guy she was dating, the leader of a Biker gang, that she was "dating" Toni, which said biker did not appreciate.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Even Word of God never confirms her fate for sure.
- Your Cheating Heart: According to her, this is one of main reasons why Salvatore betrayed and try to kill Claude.
- In Liberty City Stories she cheats on Sal with numerous men, one of them being a jealous biker Toni has to kill.
Leone Family
Salvatore Leone
The current patriarch of the Leone Crime Family, one of the most influential and respected gangs to roam Liberty City. His operates out of Portland, particularly the St. Mark's district.
Other Appearances: San Andreas and Liberty City Stories
- Affably Evil: When he is in a good mood, incredibly averted when he is angry. Despite his aggressive and vindictive personality, what he values most is loyalty.
- Ax-Crazy: In San Andreas, though not so much in III, strangely enough.
- Badass Grandpa: In GTA: Liberty City Stories.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: to Maccer and Kent Paul in San Andreas.
- Cynicism Catalyst: CJ doublecrossing him in San Andreas ends up turning him into the ultra-paranoid wacko he becomes in III.
- Deuteragonist: In Liberty City Stories.
- Diabolical Mastermind: He shows shades of this even in his San Andreas appearance!
- Disc-One Final Boss: Eliminating him is your first mission upon reaching the second island.
- Disproportionate Retribution: In San Andreas, he threatens to kill Carl and his entire familynote , because of Carl's huge hand in robbing his casino.
- The Don: of Leone Crime Family.
- Evil Versus Evil: All the time with himself, the Yakuza, and later, Claude.
- FaceHeel Turn: In III, where he betrays Claude in a fit of paranoia.
- Expy: Of Vito Corleone.
- Jerkass: Most if not all the time. He even tortures Maccer and Kent Paul for no apparent reason in San Andreas.
- Knight Templar: After being arrested in 1998, he vows to have revenge, eliminating all rival mafias. Although it could also be this trope in San Andreas, where he promises to kill CJ, his family and everyone close to him. Thankfully, he doesn't know who CJ isnote .
- Laser-Guided Karma: In GTA III. It comes at the hands of Maria and Claude.
- Reality Ensues: Salvatore Leone promises to make you a Made Man for destroying the SPANK factory. This is done in unseemly haste by mob standards. Because he doesn't intend to let you live.
- Properly Paranoid: The only person he does not seems to distrust is Toni Cipriani, and he even holds him at gunpoint once.
- Trash Talk: Quite often, especially with Maria in LCS and members of rival gangs.
- Villainous Breakdown: It was clear that he's having a mental breakdown while cursing Carl for his hand at the casino heist in San Andreas.
- You Have Out Lived Your Usefulness: Does this to Claude after he blows up the SPANK factory. Becomes a Genocide Backfire since Claude hadn't yet shown any sign of trying to betray him.
Joey Leone
Salvatore Leone's son and Underboss of the Leone Crime Family. He's not very involved in the family business, preferring to work on his garage business. He's Misty's boyfriend (or at least her most recurring customer, given her line of work), but Joey does give Claude some work by having him collect some debts that the Forelli Brothers owe to the Leone Family.
Other Appearance: San Andreas (mentioned only)
- Badass Driver: Implied to be involved in street racing and supes up some excellent sports cars.
- Grease Monkey: He owns an auto shop, and he loves working with (and stealing) cars.
- Inadequate Inheritor: How Salvatore sees him.
- "Well Done, Son!" Guy: He is not very involved in Mafia business beyond car thefts and the occasional robbery or debt collection, and as such, it is implied in Liberty City Stories that Salvatore trusts Toni Cipriani more than him.
Toni Cipriani
First appeared in GTAIII as a Capo for Liberty City's dominant Leone Mafia family. Later used as the protagonist of the prequel title Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, where he has returned from a long absence to help organize said family's success. Has an unsupportive, domineering mother who embarrasses him at every turn.
Other Appearance: Liberty City Stories
- Abusive Parents: His Ma is anything but supportive, and even called a hit on him because she found him to be weak.
- Ax-Crazy: Specifically in the mission "Dead Meat" (from GTA: Liberty City Stories) where he, indignant to be enduring Giovanni Casa and his mother's praise of Casa for "having guts", Toni proceeds to brutally dismember him with an axe, and finally carrying their leftover meat to his butchery.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: His starting outfit is a brown jacket over a black shirt with pants and workboots but the prologue mission has him change into a suit more befitting of The Mafia and he is depicted in artwork as such. He is a made man, after all.
- Basement-Dweller: At some point between LCS and III, Toni moved back with his Ma, despite having three houses of his own.
- Captain Ersatz: Pretty obviously one for Tony Soprano.
- Chick Magnet: Before he put on some weight he wasn't half bad with the ladies. He caught the eye of Maria(to his dismay), and gained the affection of Toshiko.
- The Comically Serious
- Confessional: Goes to one only to be manipulated by Intrepid Reporter, Ned Burner who's only interest is generating big stories to cover.
- Deadpan Snarker: Has his moments.
- The Dragon: Serves this role prior to Claude taking it over. Becomes a Dragon Ascendant when Salvatore Leone is killed.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: When they're not bickering, that is.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Toni will gladly chop you up if you piss him off, but he draws the line at not showing your parents proper respect.
- Freudian Excuse: Some of Toni's more extreme moments come from trying to prove himself worthy of his overbearing mother's respect.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Living with his Ma will do that to you.
- Informed Flaw: People in Liberty City Stories constantly notes how skinny Toni has become, despite being more pudgy than skinny.
- Karma Houdini: Doubles with Awesome Moment of Crowning due to Word of God confirms he's the new head of the Leone crime family after Salvatore's death.
- Only Sane Man: Particularly when dealing with some of the more outlandish questgivers like Maria, JD, or Donald Love.
- Subverted in regards to his increasingly violent behavior after conversations with his mother.
- Rapid Aging: He doesn't even look like the same man in "GTA III".
- Perma-Stubble: In Liberty City Stories Toni has a permanent Five O' Clock shadow.
- Previous Player-Character Cameo: Inverted, he appears as mission-giver in III, but then becomes protagonist in the prequel, Liberty City Stories.
- Retired Badass: By the time of GTAIII he's no longer working the streets, but just three years earlier he was bustt heads with the best of them.
- Super Drowning Skills: Back in Liberty and the water is still as good for you as a heart attack
- The Reliable One: Despite his demotion at the beginning of Liberty City Stories, Salvatore comes to recognize him as the only person he can rely on.
- Tranquil Fury: Again specifically in the mission "Dead Meat". He's disturbingly quiet and terse in speech as he meets up with Giovanni Casa, drives him to the meat processing plant and proceeds to hack him apart with an axe.
- Undying Loyalty: To Salvatore Leone. In fact, out of all the GTA protagonists who have worked with Leone, he's notable for being the only one to not betray him.
- Villain Protagonist: in Liberty City Stories.
- "Well Done, Son!" Guy: to his mother.
- Younger Than They Look: Believe it or not; Toni is in 33 in "GTA III", despite looking like a sixty-year old.
Ma Cipriani
Toni Cipriani's overbearing and condescending mother. She is never physically seen, and instead bosses Claude/Toni around from inside her restaurant.
Other Appearance: Liberty City Stories
- Abusive Parents: She berates her son for just about everything she can think of. Taken Up to Eleven when she places a hit on Toni for "not being man enough".
- I Have No Son: Regularly uses this to get Toni to do whatever she wants him to do on that day.
- Jerkass: She is a jerk to just about anybody she talks to.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: She states at one point that Toni is not her son, a daughter maybe, after he fails to meet her expectations.
- The Voice: She is never seen physically and only communicates with the protagonists from inside her home.
Asuka Kasen
Asuka is the head of the Yakuza in Libety City. A fierce rival to the Leone family, she is an "old friend" of Maria's.
Other Appearance: Advance
- Affably Evil: Very friendly, very polite, and one of the few people who won't betray Claude. Still a ruthless Yakuza boss.
- Ambiguously Bi: Some of her interactions with Claude come across as flirtatious, but she also implicitly plays bondage games with Maria.
- Brains and Bondage: Is one of the most erudite characters. Is also into BDSM.
- BrotherSister Team: Subverted. She and Kenji are on good terms, but they appear to be independent in doing their job.
- Cool Aunt: for Yuka in Advance. Bordering on Knight Templar Parent / Mama Bear, too.
- A Date with Rosie Palms: Maria swoons when she discovers that Asuka has a massager. Asuka lets her know that's not a massager.
- Dragon Lady: Has shades of this. Is coupled with Evil Is Sexy and plenty of Les Yay.
- Dropped a Bridge on Her: This happens in the final act.
- Noble Demon
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Starts a Mob War with the Colombian Cartel and kidnaps and tortures it's co-leader Miguel in response to Kenji's death, unaware that the people really responsible are Donald Love and Claude.
- Sadist: It is heavily implied that she takes sexual pleasure in torturing Cartel co-leader Miguel in III.
- Wicked Cultured
- Yakuza: Co-leader of Yakuza along with her brother Kenji.
Kenji Kasen
The brother of Asuka and owner of Kenji's Casino in Liberty City. He is the co-leader of the Yakuza in the city.
- Alliterative Name: Kenji Kasen.
- Asian Speekee Engrish: His accent is far stronger and more stereotypical than Asuka. Lampshaded in his bio, which claims that his "funny way of speaking" is one of the reasons he's lower on the Yakuza chain of command than Asuka.
- BrotherSister Team: Subverted. He and Asuka are on good terms, but they appear to be independent in doing their job.
- Cool Car: In one mission, Claude has to steal three rare sports cars. Kenji is in a debt of honor to some man who loves cars and gives the cars Claude steals to him as a gift.
- Disc-One Final Boss: The second one in the game after Sal.
- Permanently Missable Content: If you complete the above mission before finishing Kenji's mission strand, his missions are gone for good.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Belittles Claude constantly for his Gajin heritage. Becomes a case of The Dog Bites Back when Claude betrays him.
- Yakuza: co-leader of Yakuza along with his sister Asuka.
Other Characters
King Courtney
The leader of the Yardies, and one of the few antagonists to survive. He offers Claude some work via payphone, but seems to have his own agenda.
Other Appearance: Advance
- Big Bad Ensemble: With Vinnie in Advance.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Not as bad as Dimitri, but he betrays both Claude and Mike in their respective games.
- The Ghost: He doesn't physically appear in Grand Theft Auto III.
- Karma Houdini: Mike didn't have time to finish him off because the police showed up after their gunfight, and they don't appear to arrest him. Claude doesn't even hunt him down in GTA III.
- Villain: Exit, Stage Left!
- You Have Out Lived Your Usefulness: Fond of pulling this. Though hasn't ended up dead despite failing to follow through.
Ray Machowski
A Dirty Cop in Liberty City with connections to the Yakuza, the Leone Family, and Phil Cassidy. He needs Claude's help in avoiding being arrested for the numerous crimes he's committed both against the people of Liberty City as well as the United States at large.
Other Appearance: Liberty City Stories
- By-the-Book Cop: In Liberty City Stories, he is the former while Leon fills the role of the latter.
- Dirty Cop: In III, where the corruption of the LCPD has finally gotten to him.
- Cool Car: He owns a bulletproof Patriot, which he eventually gives to Claude.
- Early Installment Weirdness: He's being investigated by the CIA, rather than one of the series' many Government Agencies of Fiction.
- Fallen Hero: In Liberty City Stories, he is a straight cop and looks to enforce the law. His partner, Leon McAffrey, changed all of that.
- Karma Houdini: All of his efforts are devoted to becoming one of these. He succeeds.
- Revealing Cover Up: He might have done better by not murdering everyone remotely connected to him.
- Properly Paranoid: He forces you to go to elaborate lengths in order to make contact with him. This is because he's being investigated by the CIA.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: When he realizes that the CIA and Internal Affairs are out for him.
Phil Cassidy
Phil Cassidy is a weapons dealer who specializes in big guns... really big guns. His first appearance is a single mission in GTA III, wherein Claude helps him defend his weapon supply from the Colombian Cartel. At this point he wears military clothing and is nicked-named "The One Armed Bandit" because of missing left arm, which he claims to have lost during a battle in Nicaragua. In Vice City, he gains a great deal of screen time, with his own mission chain. It is revealed over the course of his missions that he was never actually in the army, having been repeatedly turned away because of his drinking problems and poor behavior, and actually lost his arm in an accident involving a batch of moonshine and some homemade explosives. Phil later has a short cameo in Liberty City Stories, and eventually returns in Vice City Stories as a major character.
Other Appearances: Vice City, Liberty City Stories, and Vice City Stories
- The Alcoholic
- An Arm and a Leg: Contrary to what he says, he didn't lose it in Nicaragua. Accidentally blew it off in Vice City with a small explosive while drunk.
- Ascended Extra: After playing a bit part in III, he plays a much bigger role in the Vice City games.
- Drowning My Sorrows: In Vice City Stories, after Louise's death.
- Gun Nut: He's pretty enthusiastic about his love of guns, especially in Vice City.
- Knight Templar Big Brother: in Vice City Stories, he doesn't take Louise's death well.
- Hilariously Abusive Childhood:
Phil: (Extremely Intoxicated) "The thing is, Vicky boy, my daddy was an angry man. He never, ever told me I was special. In fact - he used to beat me. Especially when he caught me staring at my cousin or my sister. You know what he said to me? He said I'd be better off dead..."
- Hidden Depths: He may not have served in the army, but his marksmanship is really good, without any formal training.
- Hillbilly Moonshiner: He doesn't actually live in a rural area, but he otherwise fits this trope to a T.
- Phony Veteran: He desperately wishes he'd been in the army, and constantly makes up stories about wars he didn't fight in to sound tough.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: He wasn't really in the military, but he apparently experiences "flashbacks" to Vietnam after losing his arm.
- Porn Stache: In Vice City Stories.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Subverted. In Vice City Stories, he clearly wants to avenge his sister's death, but all he winds up doing is drunkenly ramming a truck full of explosives into Fort Baxter to help Vic steal a helicopter, and doesn't appear again afterwards.
- Trigger Happy
- Too Dumb to Live: He should have known that it was a bad idea to play with dangerous explosives while drunk.
Donald Love
Liberty City's resident media mogul; first introduced in Grand Theft Auto III seeking Claude's services for a "rescue" operation. After having a cameo in Vice City he comes back as a supporting character - and more neurotic than ever - in Liberty City Stories as the Leone family's preferred candidate for mayor.
Other Appearances: Vice City and Liberty City Stories
- All Elections Are Serious Business: Entering the mob-controlled mayoral race in Liberty City. (hint: Not as a democrat).
- Ax-Crazy: He never acts psychotically violent, but it is clear his highly depraved tastes make him one.
- Bastard Understudy: Has Toni Cipriani assassinate his mentor Avery Carrington, then has Toni bring him his corpse for an in-flight meal
- Beard of Sorrow: Sprouts one after losing both the election and his empire in Liberty City Stories.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Love will stoop to mass murder if it benefits him, as evidenced by the missions he assigns Cipriani in Liberty City Stories (killing rival political activists, blowing up an entire neighborhood populated by thousands of innocent people) and his conspiracy in III to instigate a gang war between the Colombian Cartel and the Yakuza for the sake of lowering property values.
- Faux Affably Evil/The Sociopath: He's impeccably polite and professional in every dealing that he has with others; he is also an unfettered mass murderer whose depravity knows absolutely no bounds.
- Flanderization: He is a lot more depraved and over-the-top in Liberty City Stories.
- Riches to Rags: After blowing all his money on his mayoral campaign, he loses everything and has to move to a filthy flophouse. With Toni's help he goes right back to being rich.
- Rags to Riches: After blowing all his money on the mayoral campaign, Donald once again recruits Toni to help regain his wealth. It works.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Revealed in Liberty City Stories as clarification of what he did at the "morgue parties" referenced in GTA 3.
- I Love the Dead: It is hinted at that Love is interested in corpses in... other ways than just eating them.
- Karma Houdini: Instead of dying like other Grand Theft Auto antagonists, Love completely vanishes from Liberty City towards the end of III, his fate unknown.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's a rather blatant reference to American media mogul and 45th POTUS Donald Trump.
- That Mysterious Thing: His final missions in GTA III involve a mysterious package. Whatever it is, the FBI and the Police want it badly.
- The Voiceless: Due to Kyle Mac Lachlan's absence in Vice City. He starts to introduce himself to Tommy, but Avery keeps cutting him off and telling him to shut up.
- Villainous Breakdown: He has one after his connections to Toni and the Leone family are made public, and his chance to become mayor is lost because of said connections.
- Strawman Political: He is a ruthless business mogul, completely obsessed with money and owning things, makes disparaging remarks about liberals and left-wingers, he's about as typical a Republican you can find.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: He simply disappears after all his missions are completed in III. Even Word of God just shrugs.
A demolitions expert in Liberty City (even though car bomb shops everywhere in the III continuity use his name.) He was on the prison bus with Claude at the start of the game, and joined up with him to escape when the convoy was attacked. He struck up a friendship with him - well, as much of a friendship as one can have with a Heroic Mime - and helped him find work with the Leone family.
Other Appearances: Advance, Liberty City Stories
- Bald of Awesome
- Exposition Fairy: He spends much of the first mission explaining the game's mechanics, as well as acting as a mouthpiece for Claude when necessary. He's dropped from the story fairly quickly, of course.
- FaceHeel Turn: Along with the entire Leone family, if he knew what that last car bomb was meant for.
- I Owe You My Life: He feels indebted to Claude, as he helped him escape the prison convoy.
- Punch-Clock Villain
- Noodle Incident: How his hands got injured. All he says on the matter is that they were burned in a police raid. An article on the promotional Liberty Tree website clarifies that a police officer spilled hot fat on them.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Possibly. He puts a bomb on your car after you save his life, twice. It's uncertain because he may not have known the bomb was meant for you when he was rigging the car. His shops also continue to modify the cars you bring them after that incident, whereas the rest of the Leone family mooks try to kill you on sight.
