How To File For Divorce in Alberta AL
No one enters into a marriage thinking about divorce or having to file divorce papers in Alberta AL. And then one day one spouse declares to the other "I want a divorce" and suddenly the big D word is out in the open. Perhaps you know an ex-couple who went through a messy divorce. If you have ever read or watched tabloid news, it seems as though every other week some celebrity or big shot is going through a not so amicable divorce. But if yours is amicable and an uncontested divorce, is it necessary to spend a lot of money on a divorce attorney or is there a cheaper alternative to file for divorce? Let's take a look at a cost effective way to dissolve a not so perfect marriage and how to file for divorce without leaving you both divorced and broke at the end of it all.
Alabama Uncontested Divorces
Online divorces are probably not the best alternative if your divorce is complicated, contested, or contentious. They are more suitable for divorces where both parties are in agreement and have come to terms regarding a splitting of assets, alimony, child support or custody of the children. Which is, in other words, what is called an "uncontested divorce". One thing to keep in mind is that it is not a requirement that you utilize the services of a Alabama divorce lawyer. Divorce papers may be completed and filed in your local Alberta courthouse without the consultation of or completion by an attorney. If the two currently married parties are in complete agreement, there is no need for anyone else to be involved. Following are some tips to help reach that meeting of the minds.
- Don't feel pressured to settle quickly. Particularly if one party wants to end the marriage more quickly than the other. It is more important to think things through and cover all of the bases before settling to ensure that there are no last minute second thoughts
- Don't take forever either. Again, if one spouse is more anxious to start his or her life anew than the other, keeping that person waiting may affect their temperament or actions prior to divorce, such as emptying the bank account or charging up the credit cards.
- Be analytical. Yes, it is an extremely emotional situation going through a divorce, and heightened emotions can lead to disagreement or even anger. Try to approach it like a business deal where both parties are entitled to their fair share of the assets. And don't try to get every last penny! Otherwise you may need a Alabama divorce lawyer to reconcile the differences, which will end up reducing what you will both receive after legal fees.
- But don't give away the farm either. Don't be so accommodating in order to settle that you leave your own needs unmet. Don't forget, there will be moving expenses, monthly bills to pay, perhaps children to take care of. Try to come up with a fair settlement that you both can live with.
Cheap Online Divorce
Obviously the biggest benefit of filing for divorce online is the cost. When we say cheap, what we really mean is inexpensive and affordable. It can be an excellent choice for married partners in Alberta who have a modest income and do not really have the money to be able to afford a divorce attorney. A divorce paperwork preparation firm can cost literally a small fraction of what a lawyer would charge. The value of the service is that they will make sure that the paperwork is completed properly. One of the most common errors when couples represent themselves, which is referred to as "Pro Se", is the improper completion of the divorce papers. The preparation service will complete the divorce paperwork in compliance with both State and Federal requirements. It is important to remember, that using a preparation service does not constitute receiving legal representation. The service is designed to assist people in representing themselves in the divorce process, not substitute as a lawyer.
Should I File for Divorce Online in Alberta AL?
Obviously, it is up to you and your spouse if you would rather file for divorce online instead of being represented by a Alabama divorce attorney. If you both have decided that divorce is the only solution, and if it will basically be a no fault divorce with no complications or unresolved issues, then having your divorce papers prepared online might be a good and economical solution. And hopefully the money that you save will help you both start your new lives a little better off financially.

Just in time for fall fishing, a new book has been released aimed at experienced Carolina anglers and tourists who want to go to the coast to learn all the tips, tactics and secrets for some great saltwater fishing.
'Surf and Saltwater Fishing in the Carolinas' is an all-in-one guide to inshore saltwater fishing in North and South Carolina. Written by longtime Brunswick Beacon newspaper fishing columnist Jeffrey Weeks, this book has information about surf and saltwater fishing in the Carolina waters.
It is amazing how the weather can change so much, so fast. A strong cold front pushed through our area on Friday night and within hours temperatures dropped to the 60s and fall was here in full force. Since then, lows at night have fallen into the 40s, and as a result, water temperatures have dropped 3-5 degrees. As a result, the bite is on.
Fall is officially here, and I, for one, have been holding my breath to see whether the fish were actually going to show up and respond to their annual fall migration patterns. This past summer has been tough fishing for a variety of species, namely king mackerel and grouper.
It's officially fall and spot are biting at our local Brunswick County piers. Reports have been coming in for the last two weeks of "yellow-bellied" spot runs up and down the coast.
Spot are the most popular saltwater panfish in the Carolinas and hordes of them show up on Brunswick County piers each autumn around this time. Already reports are much better than the last two years, when spot fishing was slow.
Those are the time-appropriate words spoken by my Grandpa Mac. He grew up in the Mississippi woods, and I'm quite sure there was some form of sanctioned catfish racing. And you may well imagine, you had better be ready when standing in the starting blocks of a catfish race.
Fall fishing is here, and that means for Brunswick County anglers it is time to gather bait and head to the water. The change in the weather became apparent last weekend when the first real cold front moved through and fall officially arrives tomorrow.
Reports are good for redfish and flounder, and there have been some spot runs on our local piers. Most encouraging, some nice speckled trout have been caught after a long summer when they were mostly absent.
Sometimes you have to make things worse before they can get better. I believe such is going to be the case with our local fishing.
This summer has been fair fishing, but nothing spectacular. After the wind of July, August was actually a good weather month, but most of the offshore fisheries were lacking. The water temperatures had risen into the mid- 80s, and despite clear waters with lots of baitfish, the predators just weren't present.
Inshore fishing has slowed down a bit but, hopefully, that is just the usual slack time between late summer and fall. Some big fish are still being caught and offshore fishing is decent.
Before I get to the fishing report, I want to comment on the Military Appreciation Day (MAD) 6 event that went on Saturday at Oak Island. The MAD events are terrific daylong celebrations of our heroic U.S. military forces, with local (and some non-local) charter captains and saltwater boat owners volunteering to take the troops out for a free day of fishing.
Fishing is certainly feeling like fall, with lowering water temperatures and worries about hurricanes seemingly every week. Post Hurricane Irene, the inshore saltwater fishing in Brunswick County has gotten much better.
Redfish, flounder, pompano, bluefish and Spanish mackerel are being caught—not in fall numbers yet but in good early September action.

"If there is a lack of respect for the right to life and to a natural death, if human conception, gestation and birth are made artificial, if human embryos are sacrificed to research, the conscience of society ends up losing the concept of human ecology and, along with it, that of environmental ecology. It is contradictory to insist that future generations respect the natural environment when our educational systems and laws do not help them to respect themselves."
(Pope Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate)

Ladies, long time no talk, yeah? Lets get down to some huge news & no Im not talking about our Commander in Chief. I have been asking Nick foreveeeeeeer if Apple is going to have a Christmas party. Ever since he's worked there, I've wanted to go to a Christmas party. Just the idea of getting to put faces to the stories I've heard, and lets be honest, I want to dress up!
As a stay at home mamacita, I never get the chance to dress up in a semi formal dress. Well and if Im totally honest, even when I was working out of the home, I never got the chance to wear a semi formal dress. So imagine my excitement when Nick sent me an email with a Christmas party invite from the company!! Not only is it a Christmas party at a hotel downtown, but we are staying the night at the hotel - aka no T Rex - aka Mommy and Daddy time with drinks and dancing, BOOM!
So I am in a serious predicament - a dress! I have been looking at Tobi.com , 6pm, Kohls, Lulus.com, and Kiki La Rue. I LOVE SOOOOOOOO many of them, but none that make me go "OOO thats the one I want to
wear in the spotlight wear that night.
Nick has told me his "requirements": A little lace is okay, but not overkill, CANNOT be shorter than knee length (something about not wanting his coworkers to see the goods, I dont know), and it cannot be TOO MUCH sequins (is there such a thing?).
I am going to the mall in 2 weeks with 2 of my bestest girlfriends to
try on every dress find "the one" if I can't find it online by then. Here are a few I've pinned on my "Holiday Dress ideas" board on Pinterest.

Bombers take down Wolves in shutout
The Barnum Bombers football team had five different players scoring with Zach Peterson and Colton Selix leading the way in a 55-0 shutout of Walker-Hackensack-Akeley in the semifinals of Section 7A played in Barnum on Saturday, October 27. The 8-2 and 6-0 conference champion Bombers led 42-0 at halftime.
Peterson had bookend touchdown runs of seven and three yards on each side of a three-yard run by Selix. With two runs for points by Selix being good and the last effort failing, it was 22-0 after just a quarter of play.
Daniel Warpula raced 41 yards for a score and the pass for points failed for 28-0. Selix got his second TD run on a three-yard score and Warpula ran for the points for 36-0. Brandon Newman closed out the first half scoring with a five-yard run and with the run for points failing, it was 42-0 at the break.
Mitchell Weller was the fourth Bomber to score as he had the first score of the third quarter on a three-yard run. With the kick failing, it was 48-0. Zac Carlson tacked on a late scored as he had a fourth frame fumble recovery returned for 70 yards. Seth Vogt hit the kick for the final score of 55-0.
The 8-2 and 6-0 Bombers, whose only losses were to Moose Lake-Willow River and Cloquet to start the season, will try to make it eight in a row as they take on the 8-1 Cook County Vikings. The game on Saturday, November 1 at Duluth Public Schools Stadium should be a very good battle as Cook County's only loss, conference or otherwise, was to Barnum back on September 14.

In a move that may reflect Pakistan's desire to sweep away the last shaming vestiges of the discovery — and killing — of Osama bin Laden in a garrison city less than 64 km from its capital, a special commission of three Supreme Court Chief Justices accused Husain Haqqani, the country's former ambassador to Washington, of disloyalty.
Made public on Tuesday, the 121-page commission report accuses Haqqani of attempting to "create a niche for himself, making himself forever indispensable to the Americans" by allegedly authoring an anonymous document for the then top U.S. military official, Admiral Mike Mullen. The document, which Haqqani disavows completely, claims that the Pakistani army was complicit in hiding bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders and that it was plotting a coup against the government in Islamabad.
Delivered to Mullen shortly after bin Laden's killing last May, the memo also promised Washington support in the war on terrorism; cooperation with India to capture the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks; cessation of links between the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), Pakistan's intelligence agency, and the Taliban; permission for U.S. forces to conduct operations on Pakistani soil; and work with the U.S. to bring Pakistan's nuclear assets under a "more verifiable, transparent regime."
(PHOTOS: Osama bin Laden's Pakistan Hideaway)
The memo was kept under wraps for five months until Mansoor Ijaz, an American businessman of Pakistani origin who had it delivered to Mullen, boasted about it in London's Financial Times. A month later, under pressure from the political opposition and media — which dubbed the affair Memogate — Haqqani returned to Pakistan and resigned. On Dec. 1, the Supreme Court took up the matter. Because it was unable to sift through the competing claims about the memo and its origins, it set up a special commission of judges to independently investigate the allegations leveled against Haqqani by Ijaz and the Pakistani opposition parties.
Now that commission has declared Haqqani guilty, claiming that he "lost sight of the fact that he is a Pakistani citizen and Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S. and therefore his loyalty could only be to Pakistan." According to Haqqani, such rhetoric is both ironic and in poor form. "The commission has based its findings on the claims of one man, a foreigner, and dubious records presented by him," he said in a prepared statement.
Or is the report an attempt to blot out all remaining connections to the national embarrassment of Abbottabad — within Pakistan, at least. "The simple answer is yes," Haqqani tells TIME via e-mail from the U.S., where he is an international-relations professor at Boston University. "Some people have made anti-Americanism a religion in Pakistan and use it as an excuse to avoid examining embarrassing issues such as Osama bin Laden living in our country," he says. "The judiciary helps jihadists and their backers in this cover-up."

Four months ago, Pakistani authorities razed the compound where bin Laden was killed. Two months after that, on April 27, the al-Qaeda chief's three widows, children and grandchildren were deported after serving a token sentence — and paying a cursory fine — for illegally entering and residing in Pakistan. Shuja Pasha, the director general of the ISI when the bin Laden raid occurred, has retired. And just last month, Shakeel Afridi, a doctor who helped the CIA confirm bin Laden's presence in Abbottabad, was sentenced to 33 years in prison for allegedly helping militants.
Like Haqqani, Afridi was also declared a traitor by another special commission — this one tasked to investigate the intelligence lapse that allowed bin Laden to live in Pakistan unhindered. The Abbottabad commission has yet to conclude its findings, but its press interactions have been revealing. The commission believes a "U.S. spy network" within Pakistan was instrumental in locating bin Laden and feels that the American account of what happened on May 2 last year may not have been entirely truthful. In fact, former Supreme Court Justice Javed Iqbal, who heads the commission, declared in December that he could not even confirm whether bin Laden was in fact dead.
Not everyone believes Pakistan will be able to wipe clean the memory of what happened in Abbottabad. "I don't think anyone will ever forget that Osama bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan," says Talat Masood, a retired army general and independent analyst.
(MORE: The Murky Past of the Pakistani Doctor Who Helped the CIA)
As far as Haqqani is concerned, the Memogate commission's position is clear: the former envoy showed "disloyalty" to Pakistan. This limits options available to Haqqani to clear his name.
"The court will punish him," says Masood. "He can avoid it by refusing to return to Pakistan, and I'm sure the U.S. will accommodate him, but his fate is sealed," he says, referring to anti-American fervor in Pakistan. "There is no way he will return — at least not until the current Chief Justice has retired," says Shaukat Qadir, a columnist and retired army brigadier. "Calling anyone an American sympathizer or traitor is akin to a death sentence."
The petitioners who took the case before the Supreme Court feel the commission's findings have vindicated them. "We are very satisfied with the recommendations forwarded by the judicial commission," Senator Pervaiz Rashid, of the opposition party Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), tells TIME. "The law should now be allowed to take its own course and deal with Haqqani accordingly." Rashid adds that the government was not free of blame despite the commission stating that it had found no proof of President Asif Ali Zardari's or his government's involvement in the Memogate scandal. "Haqqani was their appointee, they all supported him. It was like a gang," he says.
Meanwhile, former envoy Haqqani believes that the commission's findings are not only an attempt to move past Abbottabad but also that their release was timed to deflect from corruption allegations leveled against Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry's son by Pakistan's largest private real estate developer. "The commission's report has been released to distract attention from more embarrassing developments," he says.
Haqqani's lawyers are concerned. "The commission was only supposed to report on the validity of the accusations," says Zahid Bukhari. "Per that mandate, they were only supposed to collect evidence and submit a report of their findings — providing any recommendations or making any judgments about Husain Haqqani's loyalty to Pakistan was and is beyond their ambit." Rights activist Asma Jahangir, who has appeared on behalf of Haqqani in court and has alleged that elements in the army and ISI are plotting to kill her, is also dismayed. "Under what law can the commission declare anybody a traitor?" she asked journalists outside the Lahore High Court shortly after the commission's findings were made public. "Disgracing people is not justice."

that doesn't sound very fun or nice for that matter. So are they really out there?
we have course shirts available....didn't think about the patches in the past......I'd like to see us sell through the course shirts before we buy more club items personally.....You do realize that Keizer is the sole reason that everyone hates everything he posts right? TO take at face value with his typing skills is like trying to throw over the reservoir at Cliff Drive on #16 to make a 2.....only a few get it, and he aint even one of them!
We are getting kind of low on minis that we give out for renewals. Maybe do a patch for renewals next time. I don't see a good reason why not to mix it up.

Homologated tyres are those that have been approved directly via a manufacturer. These tyres are ones that have met the standards and regulatory requirements of the manufacturer.
The energy lost when a tyre is in motion is known as 'rolling resistance'. This has a direct impact on fuel consumption.
A tyre's rolling resistance score ranges from A to G. Over the life of the tyre, fitting an A rated tyre could save you up to 6 litres of fuel when compared to a G rated tyre.
A tyre's wet grip capacity is expressed in Grades from A to G.
The difference in braking distances between each grade is roughly 3m - an average car length. This makes average stopping distance between an A and G rated tyre 18m. That's 4 car lengths.
The exterior noise grade of a tyre is expressed in decibels - accompanied by one, two or three sound waves, with one wave being the best noise level performance.
To achieve the best grade, a tyre's noise level must be at least 3dB under the legal limit set by the EU.

Maine drug agents seize bath salts, bust oxycodone ring
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Maine drug agents have seized a bath salts mailing in Presque Isle and arrested several suspects in an oxycodone ring in Bangor.
In Presque Isle, Maine Drug Enforcement Agents and local police on Thursday arrested 25-year-old Joshua Dunn and took possession of packages containing what drug agents believed to be synthetic cathinones, or bath salts. Agents also seized $900 in cash. Dunn faces trafficking charges and was in jail Friday.
Drug agents said they wrapped up a yearlong criminal investigation of illegal oxycodone sales with arrests in Bangor and Caribou. One of the suspects had been arrested for trafficking previously and pleaded guilty.

The Liberty City Police Department (LCPD) in GTA IV Era, is the police department for Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which share the same rendition of Liberty City. The LCPD is based on the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
The Liberty City Police Department is around 40,000 officers strong, with many different roles, most notably on beat patrol all throughout Liberty City. They reign in a "complete operational" status over Liberty City, meaning they are the single law enforcement organization in the whole city, besides for the FIB and NOOSE. The department is then organized into different divisions. They include Highway Patrol Units (while usually freeway/bridge duties are transferred to a State Police agency), tactical response units from NOOSE tactical units, aviation units, plain clothes units and the harbour units. The Aviation Unit of the LCPD (formed in 2001) has a fleet of several helicopters (consisting of Maverick type copters) which are on constant patrol. Aviation assistance can be summoned from one of the four stations with aviation facilities. The Police Mavericks can be seen often in the skies of Liberty City, most often patrolling with NOOSE Annihilators above major bridges such as the Hickey Bridge and East Borough Bridge. The LCPD is otherwise underfunded, unable to afford specialized pursuit vehicles and as a result have to use their regular patrol cars to chase suspects. They often injure or kill the very citizens they are assigned to "protect and serve" - many police cars accidentally hit and/or kill civilians while chasing the player.
The LCPD is known for its very aggressive techniques in pursuing crime, most notably, saturating an affected area of high crime rate with dozens of officers and patrol cars. They take the famous NYPD rationale of having a large police presence ensuring prevention and quick response. In times of emergency they respond appropriately, and pour all available resources into stopping or containing an incident. The LCPD (along with NOOSE and the FIB) become extremely aggressive when the player is wanted, and continue to shoot at the player even after the protagonist has died and "grayed out". While chasing criminals, the player or occasionally whilst driving, police vehicles hit civilians with their cars.
LCPD officers are sometimes seen writing tickets (as noticed around Middle Park and in Highway Patrol duties on the various bridges where they await speeders). Officers on foot patrol are sometimes seen chasing and apprehending criminals, which after they are caught, a radio car is contacted to take the criminal away for processing. The LCPD is also on an active recruiting campaign, with "Join The LCPD" posters and billboards at select locations throughout the city, and adorning the front of the LCPD The Triangle/Star Junction Sub-Station, (which is in front of a Liberty City Services Booth). They also appear in the streets if the player dials 911 to summon a police car with two officers inside. One officer will check around for any incidents. If a criminal attacks an officer, two officers wield pistols and pursue the criminal and catch the protagonist at gunpoint. If there aren't any criminals around, they will get back inside the vehicle and leave. Unlike civilians, who report crimes via the telephone, a lengthy process, police sightings are reported immediately. Further crime, attacking a police officer, and evading arrest will increase the player's wanted level. At two stars, police cars are sent to the area. At three stars, NOOSE vehicles are deployed, as well as police maverick-type helicopters. At four stars, NOOSE Annihilators and FIB Buffalos, complete with four FIB Special Agents in body armor and equipped with automatic weapons, are deployed. LCPD officers are authorized to commandeer civilian vehicles to continue chasing a suspect or respond to an emergency, often stating it as "Official Police Business" to the driver as they pull them out of the car.

In GTA IV, LCPD officers on the streets commonly drive two variants of police cars: The Police Patrol and the Police Cruiser, which serve as their primary pursuit vehicle of choice when the player attains a 1-star or 2-star wanted level, and will continue to appear in conjunction with NOOSE and FIB forces in a 3-star wanted level or higher. In GTA Chinatown Wars, the LCPD is only equipped with the Police Patrol (although game art of both the Police Patrol and Police Cruiser are still used when the player is Busted), and only appears up to a 4-star wanted level (alongside NOOSE Enforcers), as the FIB takes over at 5 stars.
The LCPD also extends their authority in the air in GTA IV with the use of Police Mavericks, which commonly patrol the sky even when the player does not have a wanted level. Police Maverick will occasionally join a 1 or 2 star wanted level when they happen to be within close proximity of the player, but the helicopter is certain to appear only when the player has a 3-star wanted level; the NOOSE's Annihilator takes over from 5 stars onwards. At sea, the LCPD is equipped with Predator boats, which only appear when the player is wanted at any level. The boats carry two more officers armed with rifles at the back, opening fire at the player.
The Ballad of Gay Tony also includes two more LCPD vehicles, the Police Buffalo (named "Police Cruiser" in game) and the Police Bike, a police motorcycle. Both vehicles are not used by LCPD officers, and are only available in The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer. A third police vehicle, the Police Stinger, does not bear the LCPD's signature blue-and-white livery, but does sport the LCPD logo.

Weapons and other portable equipment
Police officers carry a range of equipment. As a weapon of defense, a collapsed ASP extendible baton is in place on the officer's utility belts but officers do not utilize the weapon at all. The baton is reinstated in the GTA Chinatown Wars rendition of the LCPD. The standard issue police firearm is a Glock 22 pistol. This is used when making arrests, pursuing suspects and self defense. If an officer is disarmed, they will resort to using their fists to defend themselves. If an officer is patrolling in a vehicle, and the suspect has a two star wanted level or more, the officer carries an Ithaca 37 pump shotgun. Officers patrolling at places of high security such as The Statue of Happiness, Civilization Committee Headquarters, and the Rotterdam Tower stations carry MP-10 SMG (only in missions) and M4A1 Carbine assault rifles, which are a good deterrent of terrorist activity and crime. When the suspect has a five star wanted level or more, officers will attempt to shoot the player with PSG-1 sniper rifles from rooftops, specifically those in Chinatown and The Exchange.
The police also carry personal radios in order to report crimes and call for assistance - they can sometimes be seen talking into them while patrolling, as can Security Guards.
The uniforms of the LCPD resemble that of the famous New York Police Department (NYPD). Depending on the in-game weather, the officers may be wearing different uniforms, such as a raincoat marked "LCPD" and a white hat cover. Officers uniforms are generally navy blue with black buttons. Officers can wear either a long sleeve, short sleeve, or short sleeve with a long sleeve black under shirt. Officers also have the choice of wearing hats, ties and either leather or normal police jackets. The officer's tie clips have "LCPD" engraved in the middle. Officers who wear sky blue shirts, as opposed to navy blue shirts, are traffic enforcement officers, as seen by the different badge and patch on the officers with sky blue shirts. Despite the fact the game classifies them as traffic enforcement officers, they do not perform the usual duties of traffic enforcement officers, such as issuing citations. Traffic enforcement officers, unlike their real-life counterparts, are armed.
Alderney Police wear different uniforms than Liberty City police, despite being from the same department. Alderney police uniforms bear resemblance to those of the New Jersey State Police (NJSP). However, their stations bear the LCPD logo, as do their vehicles.

The in-game Internet features an official LCPD website which can be found at www.libertycitypolice.com. The website features a secret link at the bottom of the page to the criminal database, which contains profiles for all characters in the game.
When looking closely at the police logo it can clearly be noticed that the LCPD are known for police brutality. In the middle of the logo, two officers are shown with batons dragging a man on the floor. Below this the scales of justice are weighing a coffee cup and a doughnut. Alderney Police bear a State Police logo on their shoulder pads, the same as NJSP, although the stations bear the LCPD logos, as do their vehicles.
- On the Rockstar Games Social Club website, players can find the "LCPD Blotter", which lists statistics about crimes committed by GTA IV players as a whole.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the LCPD patrol in Alderney. However, Alderney is a separate state from Liberty City. The only difference between the Liberty City police and Alderney police is the uniform and sometimes, the accent of the officers.
- At higher wanted levels (five and six stars), the LCPD seem to begin disappearing as more FIB and NOOSE officers begin to show up. This may indicate that the LCPD are too afraid of death to take on the player, or simply are handing over the chase to the better prepared and more capable law enforcement agencies.
- When the player has a three star wanted level, the officer talking through the tannoy of the police helicopter often shouts "This is the LPCD!", when in fact it should be LCPD. This could indicate that the helicopter pilots care less about shouting LCPD to the player than normal officers.
- At the LCPD station in East Holland, If the player enters the parking lot in the back and ascends the stairs up to the helipad, he/she can find one to three officers surrounding a body.
- On the beach in the Northwestern corner of Bohan, you can sometimes find one lone officer standing next to a body.
- GTA IV is unique for letting the player be able to shoot the gun off an enemy without killing the enemy. If the player shoots any weapons other than a pistol off from the officer, he will pull out a pistol. If the player shoots the pistol off from the officer, the officer would flee. This also applies to the FIB and NOOSE.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, police officers are more aggressive, doing drive-bys at 4 stars instead of 5 stars and wielding more powerful weaponry such as Assault SMGs and Automatic Shotguns. Officers also wield Advanced MGs from helicopters.
- If you choose to go out the front of the hospital in the mission The Snow Storm, one of the officers will wield a Combat Shotgun, uncharacteristic, as the standard-issue shotgun is the Pump Shotgun
- There's a telephone number for join the recruitment, it's 555-RECRUIT (555-732-7848). But it cannot be dialed.
- The pistol in the holster, which is part of the character model, will stay in the holster even when the officer had drawn out the pistol.

New shipment of legal drugs allows state to continue executions
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has received a new shipment of the lethal drug used in executions, allowing it to continue putting convicted killers to death through mid-May.
Prisons spokesman Jason Clark on Wednesday said the agency would have run out of pentobarbital, commonly used to euthanize pets, after two executions scheduled this month.
Three prisoners are scheduled to be executed in April; Harris County killer Robert Campbell is scheduled for execution on May 13.
Clark declined to identify the source of the drug, saying that previous suppliers and their employees have been threatened with "serious physical harm."
As have other death penalty states, Texas has had difficulty obtaining drugs used in executions as their makers stop selling to prisons in death penalty states. Texas has twice changed its lethal formula as a result of those shortages, and now executes with a single dose of pentobarbital.
Texas has executed 510 killers with lethal injections since legal killings resumed in 1982.

BRITAIN'S spell of unseasonably mild temperatures looks to be over with plunging mercury this weekend expected to be followed up with an icy blast this week.
After the warmest December on record, forecasters are predicting temperatures will plummet below freezing to bring snow and widespread frosts.
The Met Office expects it will be a wet start to the week, with wintry showers especially on high ground, before an area of high pressure towards the weekend will see temperatures struggling to reach 5C (41F) in the South and not rising above freezing further north.
Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists are being warned of the risk of frost and ice on roads.
There are also forecasts of rain, and the Environment Agency still has over 150 flood alerts and warnings in place across England and Wales after the devastating Christmas and New Year floods.
Flooding is still affecting parts of Yorkshire and at around noon yesterday, firefighters used a boat to save a baby and two adults who had become stranded inside a van which was stuck in metre-high flood water in Brawby Lane near Malton, North Yorkshire.
Mel Harrowsmith, head of civil contingencies at the Met Office, said: "For many the weather during the coming week is likely to be the first experience of winter, with either frost, wintry showers or even snow affecting many areas of the UK."
During the early part of the cold air will spread southwards, bringing the chance of frost, ice and, for some, the possibility of sleet, snow and hail, the Met Office said. Daytime temperatures are likely to be in the range of freezing to 5C (41F).
By the end of the week conditions are expected to be drier as an area of high pressure comes in, but temperatures are unlikely to rise above freezing in the north, bringing widespread frosts overnight. The forecast for the third week of January is for slightly milder conditions.

4.) Pearn's Suzuki Sidekick jump
Suggested By: Axel-Ripper
What happened?: You need a serious safety crew, a sizeable budget, and many long hours of preparation to pull off a big jump with any guarantee of safety. This video shows none of those things.

What happened?: At the 2010 Autoquad races in St-Ferdinand, Quebec, one car actually passed another car while airborne. Take that Zanardi.

2.) Kenny Powers' Superjump
Suggested By: Mekkon
What happened?: In 1976, Canadian daredevil Ken Powers did not jump his rocket-powered Lincoln over the St. Lawrence River, as he had planned. With a $1 million budget, "The Superjump" was set to be one mile long, but it didn't work. It wasn't so much a failure, but rather a lesson for all humanity.
Evel Knievel Rating: 76/76 busses
1.) The Hot Wheels jump
Suggested By: skinnayyy
What happened?: Tanner Foust makes every childhood dream come true, launching what is basically a life-sized hot wheels car down a ten-story drop and soaring 332 feet through the air.

Palate Press Wine of the Week (Jan 10-14): 2009 Grafen Neipperg Muskateller
This is a very pleasant bottle of wine. Some residual sugar (13g/L) supports the fruit without seeming too sweet. It is aromatic, with white flowers, pineapple, and a touch of gooseberry. On the palate, pineapple, apricot, a pinch of nutmeg and some ginger zest, plus that tiny bit of gooseberry, all join together. The mouth feel is rich, the finish long. Drink with blackened redfish.

Willingham delivers big blast in Twins' win vs. Tribe
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire could see signs that Josh Willingham was starting to come around at the plate.
The slugger started to shake off his recent slump this week, and Gardenhire saw that Willingham's timing was starting to get better. He had two RBIs in Sunday's loss to the Rays, and Gardenhire was convinced Willingham would soon snap out of his funk.View Full Game Coverage
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire could see signs that Josh Willingham was starting to come around at the plate.
The slugger started to shake off his recent slump this week, and Gardenhire saw that Willingham's timing was starting to get better. He had two RBIs in Sunday's loss to the Rays, and Gardenhire was convinced Willingham would soon snap out of his funk.View Full Game Coverage
Gardenhire's premonition proved correct, as Willingham's swing certainly looked just fine Monday night. Reliever Casey Fien couldn't hold a one-run lead in the eighth, but Willingham connected on a go-ahead solo homer in the bottom of the inning to lift the Twins to a 4-3 win over the Indians at Target Field.
"I feel better," said Willingham, who went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored. "Hopefully, I can keep it going and help us win some games. That's my goal. But I do feel better at the plate."
Willingham, who is hitting .217 in 52 games this year, has done his best to avoid the trade rumors that have popped up in recent weeks, and he showed that he still has plenty of power from the right side.
With the game tied and Indians reliever Bryan Shaw on the mound, Willingham came through with the game-winning homer on a 3-2 slider with one out. It was Willingham's ninth homer of the year and his first since July 5. It helped the Twins snap a three-game losing streak after being swept by the Rays.
"We needed it," Willingham said. "Coming off the All-Star break when you lose three in a row, you obviously don't feel real good about yourself, so we needed a big win."
It came after the Twins couldn't hang on to the lead in the top of the inning. Pinch-hitter Michael Brantley started the rally with a one-out double off Fien and scored on a two-out single from Roberto Perez.
"I think he just missed the zone," Gardenhire said. "He was going away but missed on one on the inside half of the plate and the guy goes up the middle.
It spoiled Kris Johnson's bid for his first career win. The left-hander was in line for the victory after giving up two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings in his fourth career start, but he was saddled with the no-decision and optioned to Triple-A Rochester after the game.
Johnson started out strong by striking out the side in the first inning but ran into trouble in the third. Pinch-hitter Chris Dickerson laced a two-out RBI single to get the Indians on the board.
Johnson settled down before walking Dickerson with two outs in the fifth. The walk came back to hurt Johnson, as Yan Gomes doubled home Dickerson just three pitches later. Carlos Santana followed with a single, but Johnson was able get out of the jam by getting Ryan Raburn to fly out to right field.
"I started out good, but with the humidity I started to lose some gas in the fourth and fifth innings," Johnson said. "The ball started to get up and I started making a few more mistakes. But overall, I thought it was pretty good."
Johnson outpitched Indians left-hander T.J. House, who surrendered three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings and was also stuck with a no-decision.
"I don't think five innings from me is going to cut it, and that's just personally my opinion," House said. "I feel I need to do a better job with that."
The Twins got out to an early lead in the second, keyed by a two-run double from Kurt Suzuki. Chris Colabello delivered what was originally ruled a two-run homer before it was ruled a foul ball via instant replay. Colabello ended up striking out and Suzuki was ultimately stranded at second.
Minnesota added a run in the third on a one-out RBI double from Trevor Plouffe, who was thrown out trying to advance to third on the play. The Twins made another out on the basepaths in the fourth with Suzuki unsuccessfully trying to stretch a single into a double after a leadoff walk from Willingham, who ended up being stranded at third base.
The Twins went just 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position on the night, which is something Gardenhire wasn't happy about despite the win.
"We left people out there and had chances again, and you know that can come back and get you," Gardenhire said. "So instead of 4-3, we could've had five or six runs. So it's all about execution and getting the little things done and it's something we'll continue to work on."

Finding a place to properly dispose of unused medications no longer has to be a such a hassle, thanks to a free disposal drop box recently installed in the pharmacy department at the King Soopers in Bergen Park.
The drop-box service is being funded by Evergreen Rotary as part of the statewide Colorado Medication Take Back Project, which so far has 12 locations, including nine on the Front Range and two in Summit County.
Future brides and their families looked over a host of prospective foothills vendors for everything nuptials at the second annual EverWedd bridal show on Sunday.
A steady stream of visitors walked from table to table at The Pines at Genesee, visiting with Evergreen and Conifer businesses that supply invitations, catering, photography, DJs, venues, hotels, flowers and even spa treatments to prepare the bride for that special day.
Dick's Hickory Dock in Kittredge has a new owner and is getting a new moniker.
The barbecue restaurant should be open by May and will be called Switchback Smokehouse, according to its new owner Darryl Swarts.
The restaurant on Highway 74 had sat vacant for several years before David Mot purchased it and opened for the summer seasons in 2010 and 2011. Mot sold the restaurant due to health issues.
One of the most eclectic, unusual and delightful stores to open in Evergreen is the Nellybelle General Store.
Located in the El Rancho Town Center, the store has everything from candles to fresh-cut flowers.
The music in the background is played from 8-track tapes. There's bar seating and a flat-screen television, so you can watch a game while your flowers are being arranged or a gift is being wrapped. Each business card for the store is different, culled from whimsical photos.
It's a store you have to see to believe.
Rumors are flying over what business might build at the location of the Bergen Park McDonald's, Evergreen's first free-standing fast-food restaurant, which closed Dec. 31.
The most prevalent rumor is that a Chick-fil-A will eventually occupy the spot, though so far the land has not been purchased and plans have not been filed with the Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Department. A Chick-fil-A representative did not return phone calls.
Echo Mountain ski resort is having a record year.
Sales of daily lift tickets are up 81 percent, and enrollment in the ski and ride school is up 71 percent over this time last year, according to resort officials. In addition, rentals have increased 77 percent and retail sales 42 percent.
Kittredge is now home to four businesses that provide everything from massage to children's clothes.
By the Creek Tans & Stuff is open in Kittredge Village next to Bear Creek Restaurant. The 3,200-square-foot space houses a tanning spa, massage therapist, women's and children's clothing, artwork, jewelry and a dance studio for belly dancing and yoga.
It is planning a grand opening from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11.
The holiday season kicks off in Bergen Park on Nov. 18 when the merchants in Bergen Village host what they are calling Fifth Avenue Evergreen.
Area schools have been invited to decorate the windows of the center's businesses, reminiscent of a tradition years ago when shop windows were painted to welcome the holiday season.
MOB Factory has closed its large indoor skate park on Bryant Drive, changed its focus to more retail sales and opened in a Bergen Park building next to the Whippletree.
The business has gone more boutique style, focusing on clothes, art and skateboards, according to Kyle West, the store's event coordinator and marketing director. Plus, the move to Bergen Park allows MOB Factory to be more visible.
The MOB Factory shares space with JR Landscaping. Both businesses are owned by J.R. Iannaccone.
A riot of color greets customers as they walk into Hearts in Bloom, a silk-flower shop that opened last month in Marshdale.
The tiny shop is the dream of floral designer Judy Williams, who has always wanted a floral shop of her own. She had worked as a floral designer years ago, but the need for a more secure job took her into pharmacy work.
Williams spent more than 20 years as a pharmacy technician at a King Soopers down the hill. After retiring, she spent 18 months trying to decide what she wanted to do, and she says it always came back to floral design.

Over the years, most of our Gaston College educational study tours to the UK have been in the spring or summer months. The problem with this scheduling is the sheer number of visitors from all over the world who flock to London and Edinburgh for sightseeing. This time, we decided to change the time of year to late November, and we were all pleasantly surprised at the small crowds of tourists in famous sites like St. Paul�s Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle, the Tower of London and the British Museum.
Even though the temperatures in late November and early December were about the same as those here at home, we were fortunate that there was no snow or frozen precipitation in either Edinburgh or London.
Our first major stop after leaving the Glasgow airport on the way to Edinburgh was Stirling Castle, one of Scotland�s most historic and important ancient royal residences. Stirling was home to Robert I (Robert the Bruce) who was King of Scotland in the early 1300s. He was a supporter of William Wallace (of �Braveheart� fame), and led the Scottish Clans in their successful battle for independence against the English.
After our arrival in Edinburgh, Scotland�s capital, we paid a visit to Edinburgh Castle, at the top of the long �Royal Mile� or High Street. The castle was used by Mary, Queen of Scots, as well as the Stuart monarchs in her family. The Scottish Honours (or crown jewels) are housed in this fortress, which affords the best views of downtown Edinburgh to this day. Scottish guards in kilts and royal regalia adorn the grounds of the castle, and one can often hear the music of bagpipes playing inside the castle walls. While we were in Edinburgh, the Scottish Parliament issued its famous �White Paper� proposal for Scottish independence from the UK. This afforded our students and participants a chance to talk personally with Scots about their opinions concerning a �Free Scotland� with all of its major economic and political issues. The vote for national independence will be held next September.
While in Edinburgh, one of the most interesting cultural experiences was �A Taste of Scotland.� This offers visitors the chance to sample Scottish cuisine from the many different regions of the country in one place. We were treated to fresh and smoked salmon, haggis, various soups and hearty stews, and typical Scottish desserts. To end the day, we visited the nearby �History of Scotch Whiskey� educational museum, which takes visitors through all the steps in making Scotch Whiskey from the different regions of the country, as well as a �wee bit of sampling� of some of Scotland�s best.
For any Presbyterian, a visit to St. Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile is a must. It was in this famous church that the irascible John Knox preached against the Catholic Church and Mary, Queen of Scots, who was brought up at the French court and professed her loyalty to the Papacy and Rome. Knox, along with Jean Calvin and many others, was largely responsible for the Protestant Reformation that swept across Europe in the late medieval period and gave birth to most of the modern denominations of Christianity in the modern world.
From Edinburgh, we made our way by British Rail south through the beautiful countryside to our final destination, London. London is the largest city in Europe, which is surprising when one considers that it is located on a relatively small island off the coast of mainland Europe. We began our sightseeing with a half-day tour of the British Museum, my favorite museum anywhere on earth and the only major facility in Europe that does not charge admission fees. Our favorite area is the Egyptian Hall, the greatest collection of ancient artifacts from Egypt to be found outside of Cairo�s museum. The Parthenon Marbles (also known as the Elgin Marbles) are also spectacular sculptures brought to England in the 1800s from the Athenian Acropolis.
From there, we toured St. Paul�s Cathedral, London�s largest church and site for most major funerals and weddings in British history. Somehow, St. Paul�s survived the Nazi Blitz in World War II, largely due to local volunteers who stayed on the roof of the church during the bombings and removed the incendiary bombs before they exploded and would have brought the famous dome to the ground. As a result, St. Paul�s became the proud symbol of freedom for the British nation and remains so to this day.
We ended our tour at Covent Gardens, where we browsed the many shops and boutiques and had our last dinner at a famous local restaurant. Covent Gardens, like most of downtown London, was decked out in all its Christmas finery and lights.
This year, we saw a new �American Invasion of Britain.� For the first time ever, the major British department stores were holding �Black Friday� sales, with merchandise marked down from 40 to 70 percent off the regular retail prices. This offered us a great opportunity for early holiday shopping while away from home. As I told our students about this UK Tour before we left for Scotland: �What you bring home from overseas will not fit into your book-bag!� Certainly this proved true on this unique tour.
Bob Blanton is study tours director for Gaston College. This tour marks our 81st such international tour to more than 75 different countries on six continents. We are currently in our 35th year of successful overseas tours for our college family and community participants. Our next tour will be to the Seine Valley, the chateaux country of the Loire Valley, and Paris in mid-May 2014.
