Healthy Heart Tips for Valentine's Day
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – February is American Heart Awareness Month, and Valentine's Day is a great time to take stock of what you are doing for your heart. After all, it beats about 100,000 times a day and circulates one and a half gallons of blood every minute.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and our region has the highest death rate from this disease in the country. The risk of cardiovascular disease is a combination of genetics and lifestyle, so there are many things you can do to keep your heart happy and healthy. Here are some tips from Hanna and Morten Jensen, two members of the biomedical engineering faculty who focus on cardiovascular research at the University of Arkansas College of Engineering.
1. Listen to Your Heart – and Make Sure Your Doctor Does, Too
Prevention is often the best treatment, and awareness of a developing condition can stop heart disease in its tracks. Many conditions, such as high blood pressure, that put a great strain on your heart have symptoms you wouldn't associate with the heart, or no symptoms at all. "Make sure you get an annual physical that includes an assessment of your blood pressure and weight, as well as your sugar and lipid profile," said Morten. "If you are treated for a heart condition, ask your doctor if there are any research studies that you can participate in – even if the results of studies do not benefit you directly, their implications may mean that your children and your grandchildren will be better protected, or treated, for heart disease."
2. Kiss Excess Salt Goodbye
"No matter what age you are, you can train your taste buds to stop craving salt in less than a month," said Hanna. Reducing your sodium intake is a simple step that can lower your blood pressure, and reduce your risk of heart attack and heart failure. Visit the American Heart Association webpage for more information on how to break free from excess salt: sodiumbreakup.heart.org.
3. Your body is your temple – think about what you put in it
The Jensens point out that "every meal of the day gives you a chance to say 'thank you' to your heart." Load up on the veggies, fruit and whole grains – and be cautious with excess fat, salt and sugar. Eat healthier for a month and surprise yourself.

4. Move it! Outside!
You've probably heard the recommendation: 30 minutes of vigorous exercise five times a week. But did you know that studies suggest that people who exercise outside burn more calories, tend to exercise longer and feel happier than their peers who are confined to the gym? "Try a couple of miles on a nature trail," advises Morten, "and think about the fact that, pumped by the heart, your blood travels a total of 12,000 miles every day, four times the distance across the United States from coast to coast!"
5. Count Pennies
Rather than trying to achieve a perfectly healthy lifestyle with no treats or indulgences, think of your heart health as a piggy bank. Every portion of fruits or veggies gives you a penny in the bank. "Every brisk walk, swim, bicycle trip or a run keeps the pennies trickling in," explained Hanna. "When you have a nice stash of pennies in the bank, the occasional chocolate cake or serving of fries — stealing pennies from your hard-earned pile — will not destroy your finances. Keep the piggy bank filled up with good heart-deeds, and your investment will grow into a longer, healthier life."
Hanna and Morten Jensen have more than 20 years combined of academic, clinical and industrial experience in matters of the heart. The Jensens' research is published in high-level peer reviewed journals such as Nature and Circulation, and some of the results are used today in the FDA guidelines for heart repair devices.
Morten Jensen's research interests include medical device design and development, and cardiovascular fluid and tissue mechanics. He comes to the U of A as an Arkansas Research Alliance Scholar from the Scandinavian School of Cardiovascular Technology in Denmark, where he was director of research. Hanna Jensen is a medical doctor with clinical surgical experience.
The Jensens will be speaking about heart health at noon on Thursday, February 18, at Mermaids in Fayetteville. This event is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Fayetteville.

FILED: December 18, 2008
and LAURIE ANN HUGHES,
Petitioners on Review,
and WASCO COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,
Respondents on Review.
En Banc
On review from the Court of Appeals.*
Argued and submitted June 3, 2008.
Dean Heiling, Heiling Dwyer & Associates, Portland, argued the cause and filed the brief for petitioner on review.Ā With him on the brief was Don S. Willner, Portland.
Stan LeGore, Miller & Wagner, LLP, Portland, argued the cause and filed the brief for respondent on review.
W. Eugene Hallman, Hallman & Dretke, Pendleton, filed a brief on behalf of amicus curiae Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.
Linda Wicks, Assistant Attorney General, Salem, filed a brief on behalf of amicus curiae State of Oregon.Ā With her on the brief were Hardy Myers, Attorney General, and Mary H. Williams, Solicitor General.
The decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed.Ā The judgment of the circuit court is reversed and the case is remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings.
*Appeal from Wasco County Circuit Court, John V. Kelly, Judge.Ā 213 Or App 588, 162 P3d 1095 (2007).
In this case, we consider a county's claim of immunity from civil liability under ORS 30.265(3)(c), Oregon's discretionary immunity statute.
Plaintiff Hughes was driving his motorcycle on Cherry Heights Road, a county road in Wasco County, when defendant Wilson drove out of a private driveway and the two vehicles collided.Ā Plaintiff(1) brought a personal injury action against Wilson, alleging that Wilson was at fault in entering the road from a point where visibility of approaching traffic was obstructed,(2) and against Wasco County (county), alleging that a bush on the unpaved portion of the county road obscured motorists' vision, causing plaintiff's injuries.
In the trial court, the county moved for summary judgment under ORS 30.265(3), which provides public bodies with immunity from liability arising out of certain kinds of discretionary decisions.Ā The county proffered evidence that it had delegated authority to make policy decisions regarding maintenance of county roads to its Director of Public Works, Boldt.Ā Boldt submitted an affidavit stating that he had adopted a policy "for brush cutting"; that that policy was "established and in force prior to the motor vehicle accident which forms the basis for the present lawsuit"; and that it was "formulated through a balancing of the needs of the County, the available resources, and public safety."Ā The county argued that the uncontested evidence established that Boldt had made a policy-level choice not to check or maintain vision clearance for private driveways unless private landowners gave notice of an impairment to vision.Ā The county asserted that that choice was a discretionary function and, therefore, that the county was immune from liability under ORS 30.265(3)(c).Ā
Plaintiff opposed the county's motion and characterized the evidence and the law differently.Ā Plaintiff submitted deposition excerpts stating that the county's policy had not been set out in writing and that the county had not communicated it to county officials, county employees, or private landowners.Ā Therefore, plaintiff argued, that policy should not be given effect.Ā Further, plaintiff contended, the county's policy amounted to a decision not to fulfill the county's duties to inspect and maintain its roads and a decision not to exercise care is not entitled to immunity under ORS 30.265(3)(c).
The trial court granted the county's motion and entered a general judgment dismissing plaintiff's complaint.(3) ĀThe Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the trial court without opinion.Ā Hughes v. Wilson, 213 Or App 588, 162 P3d 1095 (2007).Ā We allowed plaintiff's petition for review and now reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings.Ā
We begin our analysis with the text of ORS 30.265, which provides, in part:Ā
"(1)Ā Subject to the limitations of ORS 30.260 to 30.300, every public body is subject to action or suit for its torts and those of its officers, employees and agents acting within the scope of their employment or duties, whether arising out of a governmental or proprietary function or while operating a motor vehicle in a ridesharing arrangement authorized under ORS 276.598.
"* * * * *
"(3)Ā Every public body and its officers, employees and agents acting within the scope of their employment or duties * * * are immune from liability for:
"* * * * *
"(c) Any claim based upon the performance of or the failure to exercise or perform a discretionary function or duty, whether or not the discretion is abused."
Tensions inherent in the text of that statute have defied easy resolution.Ā Section (1) of ORS 30.265 makes public bodies liable for their torts.Ā Paragraph (3)(c) grants those entities immunity from claims based upon a "discretionary function or duty."Ā In fact, however, whenever a governmental employee determines facts and acts accordingly, that employee makes a number of choices and thereby exercises discretion.Ā Yet, the law often imposes limits on those choices and recognizes that acts in violation of those limits may give rise to liability.(4)
Recognizing those tensions, this court has explained that the legislature used the words "discretionary function or duty" to exempt governmental entities from liability only for "certain types of decisions, namely, those that require supervisors or policy makers to assess costs and benefits, and to make a choice among competing goals and priorities."Ā Vokoun v. City of Lake Oswego, 335 Or 19, 31, 56 P3d 396 (2002) (citing McBride v. Magnuson, 282 Or 433, 437, 578 P2d 1259 (1978)).Ā Accord Mosley v. Portland School Dist. No. 1J, 315 Or 85, 89, 843 P2d 415 (1992).Ā This court also has explained that, if the law requires a government to exercise due care, then ORS 30.265 does not immunize its decision not to exercise care at all.Ā When a public body owes a duty of care, that body has discretion in choosing the means by which it carries out that duty.Ā Little v. Wimmer, 303 Or 580, 589, 739 P2d 564 (1987); Miller v. Grants Pass Irrigation, 297 Or 312, 320, 686 P2d 324 (1984).Ā But "[t]he range of permissible choices does not * * * include the choice of not exercising care."Ā Mosley, 315 Or at 92.
On review to this court, the county bases its defense of discretionary immunity on what it characterizes as a policy-level choice of means to fulfill its road maintenance duties.Ā To analyze that defense, we first examine the nature of the county's road-maintenance duties.
The common law imposes a general, nondiscretionary duty on landowners to make their property reasonably safe for their invitees.Ā Accordingly, public landowners must make public property reasonably safe for members of the public who use the property in a manner that is consistent with its public purpose. ĀSee Woolston v. Wells, 297 Or 548, 557-58, 687 P2d 144 (1984) (possessor of land has a duty to use reasonable care to make land safe for invitees); Taylor v. Baker, 279 Or 139, 146, 566 P2d 884 (1977) (invitees include members of the public on land for purpose for which land is open to public). ĀAs this court has stated, the duty to make property reasonably safe includes a duty to inspect the property for conditions that create an unreasonable risk of harm:
"In general, it is the duty of the possessor of land to make the premises reasonably safe for the invitee's visit. The possessor must exercise the standard of care above stated to discover conditions of the premises that create an unreasonable risk of harm to the invitee. The possessor must exercise that standard of care either to eliminate the condition creating that risk or to warn any foreseeable invitee of the risk so as to enable the invitee to avoid the harm."
Woolston, 297 Or at 557-58.
The legislature has assigned county road-maintenance responsibilities to county governing bodies and road officials, ORS 368.001,(5) and, in doing so, has evidenced an intent that accords with the common law.Ā By assigning local governments the responsibility to carry out road-maintenance functions, the legislature intends that those governments will fulfill their common-law responsibilities and make travel on their roads reasonably safe for the general public.Ā See Little, 303 Or at 589 (stating principle based on state highway statutes).Ā A county's responsibility for road maintenance extends not only to the paved portion of county roads, but also to county rights-of-way in their entirety.Ā ORS 368.001(1) defines "county road" as "a public road under the jurisdiction of a county that has been designated as a county road" (emphasis added), and ORS 368.001(6) defines a "road" as "the entire right of way of any public or private way that provides ingress to or egress from property by means of vehicles or other means or that provides travel between places by means of vehicles."Ā (Emphasis added.)
In this case, therefore, the county had a general common-law duty to inspect its roads, including the unpaved portions of those rights-of-way, and to maintain those roads, in their entirety, in a reasonably safe condition for the benefit of the traveling public.(6)
The next step in our analysis is to examine the policy-level decision which the county asserts to render it immune from liability for plaintiff's claim.(7)Ā Plaintiff, in his complaint, alleged that the county was negligent in its execution of its road-maintenance duties because it had allowed a bush that obscured the vision of motorists to grow on the unpaved portion of Cherry Heights Road, had failed to remove the bush, and had failed to warn motorists of the obstructed vision.Ā As an affirmative defense to plaintiff's claim, the county alleged that its "program for the removal of shrubbery from and adjacent to the roadway system in Wasco County and the execution thereof" entitled it to discretionary immunity.Ā In support of its motion for summary judgment, the county submitted the Boldt affidavit, which described the policies and general practices that the county had established as follows:
"a.Ā Vision clearance shall be maintained for all vehicles driving on County roads such that drivers in the actual driving lanes on a County roadway shall have an unobstructed view of both lanes of traffic on the County roads;
"b.Ā Every County road shall be inspected at least once a year for vision clearance and any brush shall be removed that impairs the vision of both lanes of traffic on the County road for any vehicle in either lane of the County road; and,
"c.Ā Because the County does not have sufficient time to inspect vision clearance for private driveways which enter upon County roads, the County relies on private landowners to remove the brush or to notify the County that the vision from a private driveway is impaired by brush, and the County shall clear that brush as necessary."
Boldt also averred that the county had acted consistently with that policy in not removing the bush in question.Ā Thus, the "discretionary function or duty" on which the county bases its claim of immunity is the county's establishment of -- and the county's action or nonaction in accordance with -- those policies and practices.(8)
The county's policy provided that the county would inspect its roads and remove brush in two circumstances.Ā Paragraph "b" provided that the county would inspect its roads at least once a year for vision clearance and would remove brush that impaired the "vision of both lanes of traffic on the County road." ĀParagraph "c" provided that the county would not inspect vision clearance for private driveways, but that, when private landowners notified the county that the vision from a private driveway was impaired by brush, the county would clear that brush.Ā ĀĀĀ
In this case, the bush that allegedly obstructed the view of motorists did not satisfy either of the two removal criteria that the policy had specified.Ā The bush was located on the unpaved portion of the road and did not extend into, or obscure motorists' vision of, the lanes of traffic; therefore, it was not subject to removal under paragraph "b."Ā No landowner had notified the county that the bush posed an obstacle to vision from the driveway; therefore, it was not subject to removal under paragraph "c."Ā
In its brief, the county argues that its policy was that it "would not check or maintain vision clearance except as set forth in its policy."Ā (Emphases added.)Ā Although Boldt did not describe the county policy in those terms in his affidavit, he did set forth the instances in which the county would clear brush from the unpaved portions of its roads, and he did state that in not removing the bush, the county had acted in conformance with that policy.Ā Therefore, by negative implication, the county's policy provided that the county would not clear brush on the unpaved portions of its roads except in the two circumstances specified in its policy. ĀAs applied to the facts of this case, the policy provided that the county would not remove the bush located on the unpaved portion of its roads, unless notified by a private landowner to do so.
Having described the road-maintenance duties owed by the county, and the policy upon which it rests its claim of discretionary immunity, we next determine whether the county established that its policy was a choice within the "range of permissible choices" of means to carry out its duties, and not a "choice of not exercising care."Ā Mosley, 315 Or at 92.Ā See Vokoun, 335 Or at 31 (county has burden to establish discretionary immunity).Ā ĀBecause this issue arises on the county's motion for summary judgment,(9) the county must demonstrate that the record shows that "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact" and that it is "entitled to a judgment as a matter of law."Ā ORCP 47C.Ā As that rule further provides:
"No genuine issue as to a material fact exists if, based on the record before the court viewed in a manner most favorable to the adverse party, no objectively reasonable juror could return a verdict for the adverse party on the matter that is the subject of the motion for summary judgment."
In this case, because plaintiff is the adverse party, we view the record in the manner most favorable to plaintiff to determine whether an objectively reasonable juror could return a verdict for plaintiff on the defense of discretionary immunity.
The record discloses that, although no landowner had informed the county that the offending bush posed a hazard, Boldt personally had observed the bush and was familiar with its location.(10)Ā However, the county had not received a request from a landowner to remove the bush and, therefore, pursuant to its policy, the county did not remove it.Ā Significantly, the record also discloses that the county had not informed landowners that it was relying on them to give the notice that was a necessary prerequisite to county action.
The county based its discretionary immunity defense on a decision to rely on landowners, over whom it had no right of control, to perform a key function in carrying out its road maintenance duties.(11)Ā However, on summary judgment, the county did not demonstrate that it had put its policy into effect by communicating it to those landowners.Ā Merely weighing costs and benefits and making a decision, even if that decision might qualify as a permissible discretionary decision, is not sufficient to entitle a government to immunity.Ā The government must also demonstrate that it took the action necessary to effectuate that decision.Ā So, for example, if a government made a policy-level choice about which road signs to install, its decision could be described as discretionary, but that decision alone would not entitle the government to immunity:Ā The government would also have to show that it had installed the signs that it had selected.Ā Even if the county's decision to have others act for it could constitute a permissible means of carrying out its duties -- an issue that we need not and do not decide -- the county is not entitled to immunity on this record because it did not demonstrate that it had implemented its policy.Ā In particular, the county did not establish that it had informed landowners that it was relying on them to signal the need for brush removal.Ā We hold that the trial court erred in granting the county's motion for summary judgment.
In stating our holding, we emphasize that we address only the county's affirmative defense of discretionary immunity.Ā The issue presented does not require us to decide, and we do not decide, whether the county can be held liable to this plaintiff on his negligence claim.Ā Issues remain as to whether a reasonable factfinder could find that the county acted unreasonably in failing to cut the bush in question.Ā On remand, the county is entitled to argue that, given its fiscal constraints and the foreseeable risk of harm, it cannot be subject to liability for negligence.Ā See Donaca v. Curry County, 303 Or 30, 36-38, 734 P2d 1339 (1987) (county liability for failing to maintain right-of-way depends on whether county's action was reasonable in light of risk, including feasibility and cost of avoiding risk). ĀToday we decide only that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the county on its discretionary immunity defense.(12)
The decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed. ĀThe judgment of the circuit court is reversed and the case is remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings.
1. Hughes's wife is also a plaintiff in the action, bringing a claim for loss of consortium.Ā Her claims do not present separate issues; therefore, for simplicity, we will discuss the case as one brought by Hughes alone.Ā
Return to previous location.
2. Plaintiff also alleged that Wilson was at fault in failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to keep his vehicle under reasonable control, and failing to yield the right of way to plaintiff.Ā
Return to previous location.
3. The trial court granted the county's motion for summary judgment and entered a limited judgment in favor of the county.Ā Plaintiff and Wilson stipulated to entry of a limited judgment in favor of Wilson, and the trial court then entered a general judgment dismissing plaintiff's complaint.
Return to previous location.
4. The pairing of the terms "discretionary" and "duty" is particularly paradoxical.Ā Whereas choice is intrinsic to discretion, duty ordinarily implies a legally dictated course of action.Ā A former member of this court expressed his befuddlement as to how a duty can ever be discretionary.Ā See Miller v. Grants Pass Irr. Dist., 297 Or 312, 324, 686 P2d 332 (1984) (Lent, J., concurring):
"[A] discretionary function is one concerning which the governmental agency involved has power to make a choice among valid alternatives, but if there is a duty imposed by law there is no choice but to obey.Ā If there is no duty, to which adherence is required, then the agency is concerned with a function rather than a duty.Ā I really don't know what a discretionary duty looks like."
Return to previous location.
5. ORS 368.046 provides that a county road official shall work under the direction of the county governing body and shall:
"(a)Ā Assist the county governing body in preparing specifications for county work to be done on any road within the county;
"(b)Ā Superintend work done by the county upon roads within the county, whether the work is done under contract or otherwise;
"(c)Ā Recommend to the county governing body methods to be adopted for the construction, improvement, repair and maintenance of roads; and
"(d)Ā Perform other duties assigned by the county governing body."
Return to previous location.
6. The county does not disavow those common-law duties.Ā In fact, the policy on which the county relies for its claim of immunity recognizes and purports to address the county's obligation to inspect and maintain its roads.Ā Boldt stated in his deposition that part of his department's responsibility was to keep brush off county roads when it could be a safety hazard, and in his affidavit he stated that "[r]oad projects that must be provided include maintenance of the County roads."Ā Boldt also stated in his affidavit that maintenance of county roads includes "maintaining and replacing signs along all 700 miles of County roads, and maintaining drainage ditches and culverts along all County roads for the safety of all who use the County roads," and that "[p]art of maintaining the shoulders includes cutting brush that impairs visibility for vehicles that are driving on the County roads."Ā (Emphasis added.)Ā In addition, the county also submitted Boldt's job description, which requires that Boldt "cause[]to be * * * kept in good repair all County roads," and which provides that Boldt's duties may entail "cleaning road shoulders."Ā (Emphasis added.)
Return to previous location.
7. Plaintiff does not contend that Boldt lacked the requisite authority to set county policy.Ā Thus, there is no issue in that regard.
Return to previous location.
8. For simplicity, we discuss the county's discretionary immunity defense as a defense based on the county's "policy." ĀBut we do not imply that, to be entitled to immunity, a government's policy-level decision must be formally adopted.Ā See, e.g., Garrison v. Deschutes County, 334 Or 264, 268-69, 48 P3d 807 (2002) (immunity based on decision-makers' "debate"); Mosley, 315 Or at 92 (immunity based on principal's decision).
Return to previous location.
9. Plaintiff did not move for summary judgment, and therefore we do not consider the question of whether plaintiff would be entitled to prevail on the issue of discretionary immunity as a matter of law.
Return to previous location.
10. In his affidavit, Boldt stated that he was very familiar with the scene of the accident, passed by its exact location at least twice a week, and knew the location of the bush by personal observation.
Return to previous location.
11. This court previously has held that a city was not entitled to summary judgment on its claim of discretionary immunity when a city enacted an ordinance requiring that abutting landowners remove foliage obscuring stop signs.Ā Pritchard v. City of Portland, 310 Or 235, 241, 796 P2d 1184 (1990) (summary judgment inappropriate when plaintiff is suing city for city's failure to cut foliage, not for its decision to require landowners to do so).
Return to previous location.
12. We also do not reach plaintiff's contention that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because there was a question of fact as to whether Boldt actually had adopted the county policy that he recited.
Return to previous location.

A MURDER victim's son has hit out at a killer accused of gunning down his father 15 years ago in what is now Britain's longest-running extradition case.
Phillip Harkins, 35, is accused of shooting dead 22-year-old Joshua Hayes in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1999 then fleeing to the UK.
The Greenock native laid low from authorities until he caused the death by dangerous driving of 62-year-old ran Jean O'Neill in the town in 2003.
Loading article content
Extradition proceedings started the week after the crash and he has spent more than 11 years waging a court battle to avoid being sent back to the US.
Mr Hayes' son, Josh Jr, who was seven at the time of the murder on August 10, 1999, said he wants Harkins to face justice.
Josh said: "I think that Harkins is pathetic. He doesn't care about anyone else. I think that he's a killer, a cold-blooded killer."
Since the extradition proceedings began in February 2003, three Home Secretaries have signed off paperwork to send Harkins back.
But he is still behind bars at London's Wandsworth prison.
Last month he was allowed to seek another judicial review, the outcome of which is expected at the end of the year.

There's an echo at the heart of Cardiff
and a whitespace at its shoulder
where its heart migrated to.
A calm descends in an ampitheatre
where hearts once were shoulders
and a thick-skinned man sings
to no-one but me and of no accord,
nor accordion accompanying,
simply for the sound
to combat the coming of
tides – to cheer the going of hearts
and the echoes of hearts at the heart of Cardiff.
I think I like Cardiff.
It serves as a bit of a revelation, really. It's a small city and I'm used to country or town.

Tyga ft. Snoop Dogg, Game & Pharrell Williams - Really Raw
Is it possible to make the pop audience swoon with your lead single, then come back with a follow-up that'll knock harder-core heads' socks off? Normally, I'd argue against trying to be all things to all people, but Tyga just might have pulled it off. Though the newly-released Really Raw finds the young emcee once again hooking up with Skateboard P and Chad Hugo, that's where the similarities to First Time end. In contrast to that joint's steamy R&B vibes, this cut finds the Neptunes serving up a slick, bass-driven groove meticulously-crafted for maximum noddability. The Cash Money signee comes with self-assured rhymes to match, voicing his love of iPad porno and name-dropping obscure 1978 Jaws ripoff Piranha (yeah, I didn't know that movie existed either). Fellow Compton representatives Snoop Dogg and Game lace the cut's latter two-thirds with some whip/weed-crazy bars of their own, and Pharrell steps out from behind the boards to lend his vocals to the hook. Think Really Raw lives up to its title? Then stay tuned to you-know-where for the latest on Tyga's Careless World LP, set to drop sometime this spring.

We look forward to coming back and introducing more people to this fine dining experience in West End!"Urbanspoon
My friends and I dine at Tukka when we want a night out that not only full of delicious food but is an experience. Bryant and his team never fail to disappoint and have always delivered impeccable service on my multiple visits. Not only do they have the best pork belly in Brisbane, scrumptious Emu and amazing deserts but the cocktails will knock your socks off!! Needless to say...I highly recommend giving the best Australia cuisine in Brisbane (if not Aust) a try."Urbanspoon

+Can I use a voucher after it has expired?
Voucher redemption is at the discretion of the business providing the service or product. Most businesses tend to enforce the validity terms of the voucher and often are not able to extend past the validity date. We always prefer if our members can use their voucher at any time, but unfortunately, redemption after expiry is purely at the discretion of the business.
Please note, many businesses book out prior to the voucher expiry - we suggest making a booking at least four weeks prior to the end of the validity period (and if you're trying to get a booking for a popular time, like a weekend, the booking should be made as soon as possible. The earlier you book, the more likely it is that you will get your preferred booking time!)
It is very rare for Ouffer to issue a refund in cases where the voucher has expired. Most offers have a redemption period of at least 3 months, which is usually plenty of time for all purchasers to use their voucher. In any case - the expiry date of each offer is clearly stated in the "Fine Print" section of the offer page, and it is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that they have availed of the offer before this date!

+How can I resolve an issue with a past/present offer?
Please note that Ouffer is the medium through which businesses feature their services, and cannot be held responsible for the services provided by such businesses. If you have a complaint about a featured business or the service that they have provided, the first step should be to contact the business directly. They may be able to take steps to resolve the situation, which will usually be similar to steps taken when dealing with any customer complaint.
You will be able to find contact details for the featured business on the offer-page. Other conditions (such as the expiry date) can be found in the "Company" section of the offer-page.
Alternatively, you can ask the Ouffer Customer Experience Team and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please note, it is really important whenever making a refund request to provide very detailed and accurate information - if any information provided is false, we will not be able to provide a refund to you.
We always provide a credit or refund when a business is no longer operating and you have a valid voucher. You can find our Refund Policy at http://experiences.ouffer.com/refund-policy-adma for further information.
If you would like a refund for any other reason, please let us know via email to email@example.com. Our support team will always do their best to assist.

+How can I resolve an issue with a product I purchased?
If you've purchased a product that you redeemed directly with a vendor, the first step is to try to contact them - their details should be on the voucher.
If you the vendor isn't getting back to you, or if you've purchased a product that was shipped directly to you without the need to redeem your voucher, please let us know exactly what the difficulties you have are by email to email@example.com and we'll do our best to help!
We are only able to offer refunds in cases where items are faulty, damaged or incorrectly advertised.

+How do I buy an offer?
Firstly, make sure you are signed up!
Then, after logging in - click 'Buy Now' towards the top-right of the offer page. On the next page, you will be asked to confirm the quantity of vouchers that you wish to purchase (if you're using credits to purchase, this is where you can select how much credit you want to use).
If you're buying a product, you may also be required to provide your Postal Address, or your choice of redemption location. Always make sure you enter the correct address for delivery.
Once you've done all that, you can then go ahead and click "Complete My Order" towards the bottom of the page. The number of credits selected (if any) will be deducted from the cost of the voucher, and the corresponding number of credits removed from your account.
Follow the on-screen instructions from here - you can pay via a registered PayPal account, or using your credit/debit card.
As always, if you you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us at email@example.com.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How do I locate my voucher?
After you buy a voucher, you'll get an email with a link to download (and print) your voucher. Unfortunately, some mail servers automatically transfer our emails to your 'junk' mail box.
(If you haven't been getting our emails, it's also a good idea to make sure that you added us as a 'safe sender' to make sure our emails aren't going to your junk box!)
But, you can also actually log into your account and print the vouchers off whenever you like! Here's how:
- Sign into the site,
- Hover over "My Account" at the top-middle of the screen.
- Choose "My Ouffers" from the drop-down menu.
- Choose "All" towards the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click "View/Print" next to the voucher you need to view/print.
Instructions on how to redeem the voucher will be contained on the voucher itself.
Things to keep in mind:
Lots of our members have more than one email address – if you log into your account and you can't find your voucher, you may have used a different email address to purchase – for example your work email or your personal email address. Try all the email addresses you have and if you still can't find it, let us know.
If you used PayPal to purchase, what happens is that a new account will be created using your PayPal email address. If your login email for PayPal and Ouffer are the same then there won't be any problems, but if you use a different address for PayPal, a new Ouffer account with that PayPal email will be created. Your voucher will be placed in that account.
If you purchased a voucher and it isn't showing up, the next step is to check your credit card statement (on-line if you have access!). If there is a charge there, please send an email right away to Ouffer so the team can investigate it for you. Please include as much detail as possible to help us assist you as quick as we can.

+How do I refer a friend?
In order to refer a friend to Ouffer, you just need to…
First log in to Ouffer! After logging in, in the top corner of the page, there is a link which says "Invite Friends, get $5". You will then be taken to a page that provides personal "referral link". You can copy and paste this link into an email to all of your family and friends (or even use the Facebook and Twitter sharing buttons). If any of your friends sign up to Ouffer, we'll give you $5 credit as soon as they make their first purchase.
If you have any questions about referring friends, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

+I've booked my travel dates with the hotel - am I able to change them?
Most of our hotel partners allow one change of date, however, that will depend on the hotel's cancellation policy (and how far away your booking is). If your booking is for tomorrow, it is unlikely you will be able to change your travel date, however, if your booking is six months away, most hotels will accommodate a change of date. Some hotels may charge a small administrative fee for any chances (at their own discretion).
We're more than happy to assist where we can, but any date requests need to be made with the hotel directly.

+I bought a gift voucher, how do I find it?
At the end of the offer, we will send a link to download the gift voucher – exactly like a normal voucher. You can send the voucher as a PDF to the lucky recipient, or you can print it off and combine I with a card if you prefer!
To find your gift vouchers you just need to log on to Ouffer and then click on the "My Account" link, which appears once you have signed in, and select My Ouffers.
Once you've logged in you will notice several tabs, 'Active', 'Used', 'Offered', 'Expired' and 'All' If you click on Offered you'll be able to see any gift vouchers you've bought!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I bought an offer - what do I do now?
You will find instructions on how to redeem the offer on the voucher itself. Depending on the offer you've purchased, you may need to contact the featured business to make a booking - contact details will be provided on the voucher. You may also find them in the "Fine Print" or "Company" section on the offer page, along with any other conditions relevant to that particular offer.
Your redemption code is the code printed at the top of your voucher - in almost all cases, you will need to give this code when redeeming the offer you have purchased - this is so that our partners can verify that the voucher is valid and provide you with the service advertised.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I can't use my voucher any more - can I give it to someone else?
Yes, your vouchers should be fully transferable (unless the terms of a specific offer state otherwise). So long as you haven't used part of your voucher, you can give it to a friend or family member. If you've had part of a treatment or service, you aren't able to give the voucher away though.
If a voucher has expired, it unfortunately can't be used by anyone.
Whenever you buy a voucher which needs a booking, always be sure to book well in advance of the expiry - the earlier the better. Just to make sure no one misses out, most vouchers will need to be booked between two and four weeks before their expiry.

+Is Ouffer a secure site?
Ouffer is fully secured by Verisign, the highest level of security a website can have. All financial details are passed directly on to our merchant processor, so not even our staff have access to any credit card details.

+I want to speak to someone, who do I contact?
If you need our help for any reason, please don't hesitate to contact us at email@example.com so one of our Melbourne and Sydney based team can help you!
In order for us address your issue as quickly as possible, please try to include the following (where possible):
- The email address you have registered your account with
- Your voucher/redemption code
- The name of the service-provider/business for which you purchased your voucher
The above information will enable us to provide you with a much quicker response!
We like to try to reply to any enquiry as quickly as possible. Our support team are based in Sydney and Melbourne, working between 9.00am and 8.00pm AEST. If your contact us outside those hours, it may take us a bit longer to reply.
In the event that you have attempted to contact us and you haven't got a reply after 2 business day, it's possible that your email didn't make it through to us for some reason - we will never not reply to an email.
If this happens, please try to send another email from a different email address to firstname.lastname@example.com.

+My Password isn't working - What can I do?
If your password doesn't work, you can get a new one by clicking on the "Forgot Password" link underneath the login box.
You should get an automated email sent to you – if that doesn't work, it probably means your email account may be blocking our emails! First thing to do is to check your junk mail box and there should be an email in there. If there is, please add us as a safe sender.
If you can't find an email from us, just send us a quick email to email@example.com and our team will be able to help out and create a new password for you!

+What does the 'Mark as Used' Button do?
The 'Mark as Used' button allows you to move your used vouchers to the Used section. That way, you can check exactly what vouchers have yet to be used.
It's pretty handy when you've bought a few vouchers for one place but don't use them all at once. You can check your used vouchers by clicking on USED Vouchers and also, if you click Mark as Used by mistake, you can bring the voucher back by clicking on Mark as New – good as new!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+What is credit, and how do I use it?
If you are using credits for your entire purchase, you won't need to enter any credit card details - you can just ignore the box.
If you are using credit for part of the purchase, you will need to use a credit card to 'top up' the purchase. For example, if you have $15 credit stored up, and you are buying something that costs $100, you would just need to pay the $85 top-up amount from your credit card or PayPal account.
Your credits will expire 365 days after they have been granted, although this doesn't apply to specific promotions which state otherwise.
Your credit is personal to you, so you can't give it away - but you can buy a voucher for someone as a gift using your credit.
If you look at your bank statement right after a purchase, you may notice more than one charge on there (usually, there will be the full amount and the amount less the credit on your statement).
That is an unfortunate requirement of the banks – we haven't really charged you twice! The charge you noticed for the full amount is what banks call a 'pre-authorisation'. Ouffer doesn't actually charge anything until after the deal closes – the pre-authorisation is just a hold on those funds.
When our system goes to charge you, it will see that you are using credit and will adjust the cost accordingly. The original 'pre-authorisation' will 'drop off' within one to five business days (depending on which bank you're with).
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Why have I been charged twice?
If there are two charges on your statement, it is most likely that the first is a 'pre-authorisation', rather than an actual charge. The 'pre-authorisation' will be removed by your bank between one to five business days (depending on which bank you use for your credit card).
If you noticed that you actually bought more vouchers than you intended, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com immediately. So long as Ouffer is told promptly, we can usually credit or refund the mistakenly bought vouchers (but that will depend on how quickly we've been notified and if any bank or administration fees have been incurred).
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Who can I contact for help?
If you need assistance and can't find an answer on this page, you can find a link to our Contact Us Form below.
If the Contact Us form isn't working, you can get in touch with us at email@example.com - but, if you can, please use the Contact Us Form - this will help us better understand what you need so we can get back to you quicker!
While we do whatever we can to get back to you as quick as we can, please allow between 1-2 working days for a reply.

Email Aliasing: Email Addresses Made Easier
Email addresses can be difficult to remember, resulting in mistakes when people try to send you email. But good news! You can request an easy-to-remember nickname (alias) for your email address.
The alias consists of your first and last name separated by an underscore and followed by @unc.edu. For example, Jane Doe may have an email address firstname.lastname@example.com. The alias for that address could be firstname.lastname@example.com. When messages are sent to the alias, they automatically go to your real email address. You can have up to a total of five (5) aliases. An alias can be paired with only one email address at a time. Your alias won't change–just where your email is delivered. The best part of this is, if you're using an alias and you change your email address, you won't have to notify any of your correspondents, change your letterhead, or change your business cards!
Things to Consider
All aliases must be unique. For example, three William Smiths can't all use firstname.lastname@example.com as their alias. Instead, one could use firstname.lastname@example.com, another could use firstname.lastname@example.com, and the third could be firstname.lastname@example.com. If the alias you've requested is already being used, you'll get a message requesting you to choose another. Also, you are not allowed to create an alias and have it point to an off-campus address. For example, if you try to create the alias firstname.lastname@example.com and point that to email@example.com, you won't be allowed to do so.
Create an Alias
To create an alias, login to the Self Service Tool with your Onyen and password. Click the My Alias Tab, and then Add Alias to create your alias listing. Please follow the instructions on Email Self Service Tool document to create an Alias.
Forgotten Your Alias?
If you forget your alias, login to the Self Service Tool with your Onyen and password. Click the My Alias Tab, and then Show Alias to review your alias listing. Please visit the Email Self Service Tool document for more information.
Alternatively, browse the Campus Directory Search page. Select Update Entry to the left and enter your Onyen and password when prompted. When you see the Campus Directory Update page, you will see your information listed there. In the Email: box, toward the upper-left, click the drop-down arrow to see all the aliases that are associated with you.

International Immigration and Domestic Out-Migrants: Do Natives move to New Jobs or Away from Immigrants
Immigration is one of the most emotional topics in the political arena, which is an issue that has not gone unnoticed by economists. Recent studies usually examine sub-national areas to take advantage of the widely varying local concentrations of immigrants. Yet, there is no consensus on the overall local effects of immigration on migration behavior of domestic residents, although there is consensus that immigration has little influence on local area wages (but there is debate about immigration's influence on national wages). One reason why the regional influence of immigrants is so hard to pin down is the many offsetting economic responses. For example, in response to an influx of recent immigrants, natives and previous immigrants may out-migrate to produce no net effect on total labor supply and, hence, no net effect on local employment or wages. In addition, very little is known about the destinations of native out-migrants. Do they avoid states with greater shares of immigrants, or do they respond to more standard economic measures such as relative growth rates. Using U.S. state-level data, this study examines the effects of recent and past immigration on state-to-state net-migration patterns and on the behavior of domestic state-to-state out-migrants. A key advantage of our migration measures is that we measures of state-to-state migration flows. Thus, we can examine differences across all 1,128 state-to-state migration flows for the lower 48 states. This sample provides considerably more information than the standard approach, which would be analogous to only estimating the 48 state net-migration rates on immigration rates and other control variables. Moreover, state-to-state data allows us to consider whether the domestic out-migrants are moving to states with relatively greater shares of immigrant levels than the origin state, which is an issue that has not been considered in past research. For example, we can answer whether domestic out-migrants are primarily driven by labor market effects or by possible aversion to states with greater shares of immigrants (not just new immigrants).

Tax Relief Approved for Drought-Stricken Cattlemen
WASHINGTON - Cattle producers impacted by the nation's ongoing drought will have additional time to purchase replacement property for livestock they were forced to sell, according to a notice released today by the Internal Revenue Service.
Today's announcement comes in response to efforts by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) and letters from key senators to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson requesting that he extend the tax relief for ranchers who were forced to sell off large portions of their breeding stock as a result of drought conditions during 2002.
"In the past, NCBA worked to support the American Jobs Creation Act which contained a provision to amend Section 1033 (e) of the Uniform Tax Code," explains Jason Jordan, manager of legislative affairs for NCBA. "This amendment extended the tax deferment period for weather-related sales of livestock – known as involuntary conversions – from two years to four years. The language also gives the Secretary of the Treasury authority to further extend the deferral period."
Extending the tax deferment period will allow producers to replace breeding animals they were forced to sell at a more feasible time. "Some producers are coming to the end of their four-year replacement period," says Jordan. "But this announcement means that ranchers still dealing with horrific effects of the drought will not have to restock their herds until one year after the official end of their drought conditions."
IRS Notice 2006-82 explains how a taxpayer can determine whether additional time is available. In addition, the IRS said it plans to publish a list of counties that experienced exceptional, extreme or severe drought for the 12-month period ending August 31, 2006.
"NCBA is dedicated to common-sense tax law," says Jordan. "This IRS announcement will provide relief not only for producers who have already been forced to liquidate herds, but also for any producer who is currently faced with selling livestock as a result of drought."
Member-driven policy of NCBA supports drought and disaster relief for American beef producers when they are hit by unforeseen natural disasters, and NCBA will continue its fight for meaningful drought relief.

Indians hope Huff finds command
Indians hope Huff finds command
"He needs to command his fastball, simple as that," Acta said. "We've said it over and over and over, but that's what he needs to do."
Huff hasn't commanded his fastball at nearly the rate Acta and pitching coach Tim Belcher would like, hence the 25-year-old lefty's second demotion of the season to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.
Cleveland recalled reliever Jess Todd from Columbus to replace Huff on its active roster. Todd's Major League stint could be brief, as Mitch Talbot is slated to start Saturday night in his return from the 15-day disabled list.
If Huff is to reclaim a spot in the rotation, he'll have to first regain the confidence of Acta and Belcher.
"He's got to work on keeping the ball down in the zone," Acta said. "Stats are not going to tell the whole story, because we already know he can go down to Triple-A and pitch well. He has to go down there and make adjustments. I think he understands that.
"Life is about adapting, adjusting and improvising. If it's not working, and obviously it's not right now, then he needs to change."
Coming off a rookie campaign in which he notched a team-leading 11 wins, Huff is 2-11 with a 6.21 ERA in 15 starts this season. He struggled in two appearances since his Aug. 3 recall, yielding eight earned runs -- including three home runs -- over 9 2/3 innings in losses to the Red Sox and Twins.
The Indians selected Huff out of UCLA with the 36th overall pick of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft.
"This is a guy who we need to be good," Acta said. "He's proven in the past that he has the stuff to have success up here. He's left-handed, has a nice, free delivery and can throw 91 mph for the duration of his outing, which is pretty good, if you can command it."
Of late, that command has eluded Huff.
"A lot of people don't realize that it's a big difference between Triple-A and the big leagues," Acta said. "This is the ultimate challenge up here. There's a reason why this is the top level and the elite guys are competing here every day. There are things down there that don't work up here.
"We need David to be successful, without a doubt. At this level, results count. Down there, you want to see development and all that, but when you're up here, results are what we look at."

Guys, just imagine how amazing Order 1886 is going to look, considering it's been confirmed to be not open-world and a linear story-driven game.
Looks sexy, put it in my face.
Not bad.
Skip to 14:45 Ignore the background music. :snicker
We've seen the engine so we know its gonna look amazing. They said it was in game just stylized camera angles. Like the Second Sons first reveal.
So now we can just speculate how awesome it will be until we're shown how awesome it is.
Plus steam punk fantasy world set in London in the late 1880's....fucking amazing setup for a game if you ask me.
Plus having a setting that hasn't really been touched yet in a game is very exciting to me. But this is all just my opinion.
While the game does indeed look amazing, it's very easy not to live up to the hype. The setting looks interesting for sure.
Damn! Those environment shots are amazing.
You could say the same about any game. Might as well not get excited about any announcements.Quote:
While the game does indeed look amazing, it's very easy not to live up to the hype.
Also, we're talking about a game co-developed by two top-notch studios with great resumés. There's a difference.
Man, I can't wait for this game...seriously, its one of the reason why i bought the PS4 first.

Preference of Sheep for Foods Varying in Flavors and Nutrients

Our objective was to better understand the importance of flavor and nutrients in food preferences of lambs. Three foods differing in flavor and nutritional quality were created by grinding and mixing grape pomace, barley, alfalfa pellets, and soybean meal in different proportions. food 1 (2.21 Mcal/kg DE, 8.1% DP), food 2 (2.42 Mcal/kg DE, 11.0% DP), and food 3 (2.68 Mcal/kg DE, 13.8% DP). Intake of each food, offered singly and together, was assessed when foods 2 and 3 were flavored with 1% onion or 1% oregano. Lambs (n = 24) preferred food 3 > 2 > 1, regardless of flavor (P < .05), and they continued to prefer food 3 > 2 > 1, even when they received the toxin LiCl after eating one of the three foods (P < .05). When offered a choice, lambs always ate substantial amounts of all three foods, even though they might have been expected to eat food 3 exclusively. We hypothesize selection of a varied diet resulted from a decrease in preference for food just eaten as a result of sensory input (taste, odor, texture, i.e., a food's flavor) and postingestive feedback (effects of nutrients and toxins on chemo-, osmo-, and mechano-receptors) unique to each food. Thus, we submit that offering different foods of similar nutritional value, offering foods of different nutritional value, and offering the same food in different flavors are all means of enhancing food preference and intake.

Good rule - by KATYBUG48
When deciding whether or not to say something to a friend about her appearance or behavior, keep this rule in mind. If it is something she can fix in 5 minutes (something in her teeth, talking too loud, etc.) go ahead. If not, it is best to keep it to yourself.
This way no one has to hear, "You have gained a lot of weight!" or, "Did you know you have a zit on your forehead?". Obviously these are things your friend knows about and can't fix, so why make her feel needlessly self-conscious? And hopefully your friends will treat you this way in return.

Although its members insist otherwise, my guess is that Tha Alkaholiks changed their name to Tha Liks mainly to ensure that their new disc, X.O. Experience, wouldn't be rejected out of hand by rack jobbers at Targets and Wal-Marts from sea to shining sea. After all, E-Swift, Tash and J-Ro haven't exactly sworn off demon rum or any related libations. The act's logo consists of a guy squatting in front of a toilet, presumably in order to do the Technicolor yawn; the CD's intro begins with an anti-drinking message that's read by a Teddy Kennedy sound-alike (get the gag?); and the selections include "40 OZ Quartet Part II," with music provided largely by someone huffing on the mouth of an empty bottle. Given that the tune also features assorted belches and the sound of vomiting, you can guess how the container got that way.
Still, even teetotalers will likely get a buzz off Tha Liks, whose eight years in rap's public eye haven't dulled their sense of humor. These guys are happy drunks, not the mean and nasty kind, and they provide a party on plastic that's positively contagious. Alkaholiks graduate Xzibit helps brighten "Bar Code," which is built around the all-purpose chant "Put your bottle to your lips/When I sip, you sip, we sip!"; Busta Rhymes makes up for his spotty recent recordings with a cameo on the bouncy "Bully Foot"; and Defari, King T and Kurupt get with the program as well. The Neptunes, for their part, lend production acumen to "Best U Can," the album's lead single, and while the results are a bit slick by Alkaholiks standards, the tune's so insanely catchy that it hardly matters.

At first glance, X.O. Experience seems like a goof, and considering that its cover and liner send up the look of Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced?, that makes perfect sense. But the pleasures it offers shouldn't be shrugged off. At a time when lotsa hip-hop platters are pure attitude, the Liks' latest is completely lacking in pretense. Anyone thirsty for a good time should belly up to the bar.

AHHHHHHH! Boogie just walked in. Here we go. Ew.
I don't think Dan is doing himself any favors by telling Boogie that he's 50/50
Well there goes my nap!! All at once we get game talk!
Dan tried to tell Danielle what is going on between her and Janelle is girl stuff.
Yes, who knows more about Janelle and Boogie, Danielle or Dan?
Oh, no, Boogie comes in.
My stomach just got tense. Boogie is a little scary.
Dan saying that he likes being a little less confrontational.
BB did a very good job when he cast these two mean girl personalities in there.. Danielle and Brit were taylor made for each other...
Danielle is the only type of girl that Britney can work with... And if you notice Britney is the only girl that Danielle is around that she doesn't mistrust and put down behind their back...
Dan just not liking his alliance out there for everyone to see. He's more subtle than that.
(He doesn't want to be pinned down!)
Boogie is trashing Janelle now.
Dan being honest...50/50.
Boogie, what do you not like about the other idea?
Dan: It's very aggressive.
Boogie up here talking about Janelle is trouble and a liar wellllll maybe so, but so are you!
He's so arrogant, but I love how Dan isn't giving him anything

if you fly the plane into a building or staright into the ground or land it on the road...will R* be able to make these building explosions?? what about the building the plane like in 9/11 should go right through the building how will R* manage that??? please answere if you have an idea..
Posted 22 March 2009 - 04:15 PM
Most likely it'll just leave a black scorched patch on the impact zone, and the plane will completly disappear in the explosion.

Every one of these topics is accompanied by one of these posts:
"This ain't Grand Theft Aero"
"This ain't Grand Theft Aqua"
"This ain't Grand Theft X Games"
GTA isn't just about being diverse and offering more than any other game, it's the skeleton of its very creation. Limiting the game to stealing cars and gun-fire would cease it's need to be carried on and recreated. Go play driver 3 if you don't want all of this "new-fangled" crap.

|QUOTE (visionist @ Mar 28 2009, 08:38)
|Bringing back pilotable large scale aircraft will be inpractical till the game features either multiple spread out cities or a city in the middle of a desert/forest with small landing strips out and about. Granted IV's Liberty City is supposed to be similar in size to SA's entire state, and so at least a Shamal should have been pilotable... Sitting there in the airport but you can't do anything with them.. very frustrating.
Personally, I don't see a reason not to make large planes pilotable either way. Granted, it'd be pointless, but once you have the core airplane code down, and the models for these planes are already there, what's the harm? It would be interesting to see what people come up with to try and steal one and what they'd do with them afterwards.
Something like a Dodo could have been useful even in IV. There are several places scattered around IV that you could use as an impromptu landing strip, and there are a bunch more places where you can perform an emergency landing if you don't expect that Dodo to fly ever again. Add to that the fact that a Dodo doesn't fly any faster than a Maverick and certainly no faster than an Annihilator, and there is no reason not to include it.
Just FYI:
Dodo = Cessna 152 - Cruise 105 knots.
Maverick = Bell 206 JetRanger - Cruise 115 knots.
Annihilator = UH 60 Black Hawk - Cruise 150 knots.

For instance, like in the game HAWX, you are allowed to turn off the assistance mode, which allows your plane to perform extreme maneuvers through the elimination of stall prevention.

| How about options for simple and advanced modes of flight?
For instance, like in the game HAWX, you are allowed to turn off the assistance mode, which allows your plane to perform extreme maneuvers through the elimination of stall prevention.
HAWX is an abomination. While I can say that SA's planes are loosely modeled, HAWX developers have never been inside or anywhere near a plane. The HUD is useless, aerodynamics is all wrong, controls are wacky, target selection is irrational, lift equation is based on wrong parameters, control surfaces aren't affected by stalls, and even if none of the other things were there, the simple fact that you can break the sound barrier while going backwards should tell you everything you need about physics of planes in HAWX.
Assistance is the worst part of the game, by the way. You have to options. You can either have Assistance On and have a plane that handles like an old cow, or you can turn Assitance Off, and then you are forced to use a camera that is so far off you cannot tell direction you are flying in. Add to that the fact that camera auto-rotates to an angle that shows you and your target, which can be behind or above you without giving you any choice due to aforementioned irrational targeting system, and you can have situations where you are absolutely literally have no idea where you are flying or how far from the ground you are.
If Rockstar tries to make the planes work like they did in HAWX, I'm quitting GTA. There is no excuse for something that idiotic.
Posted 30 April 2009 - 02:19 PM
But in SA they didn't have any airplane traffic in airports. Just some random cars driving circles in one corner of airport.
And who desinged CJ's airport? In runway 27 (when you come from LV) we have huge cliff in front of runway, so you need to make some crazy dive to land and that hangar is 1 feet away from runway.
On runway 09 (coming from SF) we have that phone line where you can crash.
And yes, I tested HAWX demo and that "assistance off"-mode is bullsh*t. If it really puts all assistances off it should lock you into cockpit viev, but noooo let's put camera half mile away and let it spin like crazy, so you do not know where you are going.

The only problem I see with this is that some people might still want to listen to the radio. Maybe have ATC work as a separate station accessible only from aircraft and tuned to by default?

Shouldn't be too hard to fade the current station out, insert the ATC audio then fade the station back in.

Don't forget that Rockstar (then DMA) were originally going to call Grand Theft Auto 2 - Grievous Bodily Harm. Shows how much the name Grand Theft Auto really means to them. It's just that. A name.

|Wasn't GTA even supposed to be called APB at some point in development? The name comes from the era when stealing cars was so important due to the fact that it was pretty much the only way to travel the huge world of original GTA. Now, with the number of modes of transportation rapidly increasing, it's just a nod to the past.
You led me to something I didn't know about. Cheers.

| Yeah, ATC chatter, done in the comedic sort of way, like the dispatcher chatter in the police cars, can go a long way. It should mostly sound like a serious communication between ATC and pilots, with exchange on mach number, flight level, and heading information, but with random funny things being requested or overheard. Something along the lines of the Pushing Tin quotes, perhaps.
The only problem I see with this is that some people might still want to listen to the radio. Maybe have ATC work as a separate station accessible only from aircraft and tuned to by default?
Ha, those made me laugh.
Anyway, some good ideas up there. Who knows where planes could go in the future of GTA...

Someone would post a video on Youtube of Niko hijacking a 747 and crashing it into a building, "GTA IS A 9/11 SIMULATOR" would be all over the media (Liberty City is heavily based on New York), the likes of Hilary Clinton would have a field day and Rockstar would be in deeper s**t than the Hot Coffee scandal.
But in a place with large open areas like San Andreas it works well.

It was a long and good night last night. I needed a tea to wake me up and give me solid resolve for the rest of the day.
Just like The Purrfect Cup, I only have this mixed with Matevana. But, that being said, I've had Matevana on its own enough to know how it tastes.
DavidsTEA taught me that I love a chocolate tea with chili. Azteca Fire, with its strawberry notes, is lovely and sweet. I don't drink this (or my blend) a lot because it's a little too much for every day but it's just enough for right now, nursing my seething hangover.

Q. Can you explain the different types of skin cancer?
- basal cell carcinoma (BCC)
- squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
- melanoma
Melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, develops from melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin - the pigment that gives your skin and hair their color. With early diagnosis and treatment, the chances of recovery are very good. If it is not found early, melanoma can grow deeper into the skin and spread to other parts of the body. Once melanoma has spread to other parts of the body beyond the skin, it is difficult to treat.
Q. I know I'm supposed to give myself skin examinations, but what should I look for as signs of possible skin cancer?
When giving yourself a skin examination, you should look for the ABCDEs of melanoma.
Moles or growths that are Asymmetrical, have an irregular Border, exhibit changes in Color, have a Diameter larger than the size of a pencil eraser (approximately 6 mm), or have Evolved in size or thickness should be examined by a dermatologist.
To identify the less concerning basal and squamous cell carcinomas, you should report to your doctor any pink spots that persist, recur in the same place over time, or are easily irritated.

(Reuters) Members of President Barack Obama's Cabinet announced nearly $1 billion in grants on Friday to increase the use of health information technology, pushing a key component of his healthcare overhaul and job creation plans.
The money will be used to help make healthcare information technology available to over 100,000 hospitals and primary care physicians by 2014, and train thousands of people for careers in healthcare and information technology. The White House said grant recipients had identified about 10,000 openings for skilled workers likely to become available within the next two years.
President Obama's push to overhaul the $2.5 billion U.S. healthcare system has floundered since Democrats lost Senate control last month. The White House has pivoted away from healthcare to focus on job creation since that vote, mindful that the country's relatively high unemployment rate is a major concern.
The push for wider use of technology in healthcare could affect a range of companies, including Microsoft, Google, McKesson Corp. and Allscripts Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc.
