Walkthrough - Secrets FAQ
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Platform: PSP Secrets FAQ v2.4 by Sundar Subramaniam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Grand Theft Auto games are fun not just because of their immersive storylines and their missions, but also because of the various side quests and most importantly, the free roam environment. Such an open environment allows Rockstar to include some cool extras in the form of references to their other titles or characters in those games. Also, a game as big as this is certain to a have few bugs and glitches which may sometimes give certain advantages or disadvantages to players. There are also a few bulletproof cars that can be obtained from few missions. Plus, there are some interesting things which you can try when you don't feel like doing missions. Since this game has been out for a while now and it is surprising to see no FAQ up yet which covers these secrets, I've decided to put up a FAQ myself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contacting me ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Feel free to contact me if you find any new secrets in the game. Secrets may include glitches, easter eggs, unique vehicles, or even interesting messages conveyed by pedestrians during their conversations with each other. You may also contact me if you wish to talk about anything else in/about the game. Some of the secrets mentioned to be found in a particular area may be found in many other areas too. This is particularly true in the case of easter eggs in the form of posters, pictures or graffiti. This doesn't mean they're NOT easter eggs at all. It's just that they're not well hidden. It's probably because there are no aircrafts, therefore no flying. Toni can't swim either. Plus, Liberty City is a very small city. So everything is pretty easy to find. Anyway, contact me if you DO find anything new. BEFORE MAILING ME, CHECK THE FAQs SECTION SINCE MOST OF THE COMMON QUESTIONS LIKE "HOW TO GET A HELICOPTER/PLANE" HAVE BEEN ANSWERED THERE. ALSO, CUSTOM TRACKS(making your MP3s play on the radio) HAS BEEN COVERED IN THE GLITCHES SECTION SINCE IT DOESN'T WORK AS IT SHOULD AND IT INVOLVES A LITTLE COMPLEX WAY TO HAVE THE FEATURE WORK. email: talk2sundar(at)hotmail(dot)com xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Legal Info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To my knowledge, only the following sites host this FAQ: GameFAQs - www.gamefaqs.com Supercheats - www.supercheats.com 1up - www.1up.com If you DO find it elsewhere, please inform me. If you would like to use information contained in this FAQ or the whole FAQ itself, you may do so but please credit me and the others who may have discovered the secrets. Also, if you notice that a more recent version of the FAQ is available on one of the above sites but hasn't been uploaded onto the other(s), please let me know. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Versions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No matter how many versions I make, there will NOT be a final version at all.

(16G,10S,29EE,4U) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most, if not all questions which have been asked more than once through emails will be added here. So before mailing me, make sure you check this section since this can save us some time and energy. Q. Are there helicopters/planes in this game? If so, where do I find them? A. Helicopters are in the game's coding, but unfortunately there are no known spawn locations because Rockstar removed them at the last moment. From what I heard, it's because most of the buildings do not have solid roofs(check the glitches section for more info), which is probably why they removed all aircrafts. But it is possible to use aircrafts using edisoncarter's cheat device. Planes are also in the game, and they too will need the cheat device to spawn. The only plane available is the Dodo. Q. What is this 'cheat device' I hear about? How/where can I get it? A. The cheatdevice is essentially a save file which gives you access to stuff that was removed plus enables some additional handy features like Video Recording. Edisoncarter made the cheatdevice and he constantly makes newer versions of it. Newer versions are obviously better and hence you should download them. The official site of the cheatdevice is: www.cheatdevice.com www.maxbot.com For more info on the cheatdevice and its features, refer the site, it will help you more than I ever can. Q. What 'stuff' does the cheatdevice unlock? A. To start with, it allows you to modify codes such as the 'Spawn Rhino' cheat to spawn other vehicles, including aircrafts like the Hunter, VCN Maverick, Maverick and the Dodo. You can also modify the weather conditions(enable snow), change the time, enable powerjump and make the PSP run at 333Mhz. As newer versions are being released, more features are being developed so just download the latest version and refer the site for more details. Q. I can't find a Mr.Whoopie. Do you have any idea where I can find one? A. There are two methods you can use: 1) Firetruck method Not only does this happen in this game, but in other GTAs too. During the Firetruck missions, the more rarer vehicles like the Mr.Whoopie and the Sindacco Argento seem to spawn as the vehicles on fire. This doesn't mean that all the vehicles which are on fire during the firetruck mission are rare vehicles, and this does not guarantee that you will be able to find the vehicle you're looking for but the probability is very high. 2) Scooter Shooter During the 'Scooter Shooter' side mission, some of the targets happen to be Mr. Whoopie trucks. If they're driving around anywhere near the alley where you start the mission, blast them immediately and then quit the mission. If their blown up carcass is left behind(hopefully!), you can push them all the way to your Portland safehouse's garage. 3) Just use the cheat device and change the 'Spawn Rhino' cheat to spawn a Mr. Whoopie. Q. I was just doing insane stunts at the airport when all of a sudden I went head first onto a plane. The screen went black and I respawned at another location and I lost the PCJ which I was riding. Isn't this a new glitch? A. Well, actually yes. This is a rather peculiar glitch. It doesn't just happen when you collide onto a plane. It can happen even if you collide onto a building at a high speed. But this problem occurs very rarely and it's sort of inexplicable in the sense that nobody knows how/why/when it happens. Personally, I've encountered this problem in San Andreas a few times in over 200 hrs. of gameplay. So it just happens rarely and unexpectedly which is why it's not considered to be a serious glitch. Q. Can I actually fly the helicopters which the cheatdevice spawns? A. Obviously, yes. Q. What are Bulletproof/Fireproof/Explosionproof/Damageproof vehicles? A. Vehicles which are immune to certain things. Bulletproofs - Immune to bullets fired from all sorts of pistols, shotguns, sub-machine guns, assault rifles, minigun, predator minigun, hunter chaingun. Windshields still break. Hunter chaingun - built-in chaingun in a Hunter apache heli. Predator Minigun - Built-in minigun in a predator boat. Fireproofs - Immune to flames, not to be confused with explosionproofs or damageproofs. Only immune to flames generated by molotov cocktails and flamethrowers. Not the ones generated by wrecking/bullets,rockets,grenades,satchels/vehicle explosions. Explosionproofs - Immune to rockets, grenades, satchels and vehicle explosions. i.e. when a vehicle blows up nearby, your vehicle will NOT be affected. However, they still explode if they're wrecked. Damageproofs - Immune to physical damage. i.e crashing, melee attacks. Windshields still break. Other specials - Some may have unique colour schemes, special wheels, paint jobs which can't be found anywhere else. The Avenger and the Bulletproof Patriot are great examples. NOTE: 1) Some vehicles are may have one or even more of these properties. 2) No matter how "special" these vehicles are, they still explode if they're toppled(up-side down). 3) All of them blow up instantly like other vehicles when they come into contact with a Rhino(tank). 4) If by chance, you lose them in the water, they're gone forever. Q. I found a new glitch or maybe a secret , I went from my Staunton apartment using the V8 Ghost when unlocking the PCJ-600 and V8 by finishing the love media... so I went to Portland Using that car and suddenly there were V8 ghosts driving around Portland...Is this normal?! A. Yes. This happens in all GTAs. It's in the game's coding to spawn vehicles of similar type. Vehicle spawns are affected by what type of vehicle you're driving, or even what vehicle you're driving. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Table Of Contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.

Rhino Tank mini-FAQ * LISTED AS SECRETS SINCE THEY'RE ONLY AVAILABLE ONCE. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WARNING!! YOU MAY COME ACROSS VARIOUS SPOILERS SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Bugs and Glitches ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Glitches are something that developers don't intend to put but somehow creep in unintentionally. Some of them make gameplay easier whereas some of them are really frustrating. This section contains all known glitches to date, no matter how "serious" they are. --------------------- 1.1 Double Ammunition --------------------- It is possible to duplicate any amount of ammunition for a specific gun. This happens during any missions or odd jobs where you are driven by someone and have to shoot things with a crosshair and some type of automatic gun with unlimited ammo. Just have the gun in your inventory that you want to duplicate ammo selected before you start the mission or odd job. Certain missions where there is more than just the shooting part only require having the gun selected when you go into the shooting part of the mission. When the mission is completed or failed you should notice the selected gun has twice the initial ammo. -------------------------- 1.2 Helicopter with wheels -------------------------- Take a helicopter to the Pay 'n' Spray in Portland and try to squeeze it in so the door will close without blowing up the helicopter. When the door reopens there will be wheels on the helicopter. --------------------------------------------- 1.3 Keep more than one vehicle in your garage --------------------------------------------- Normally you can only keep one vehicle in your garage due to the fact that if one vehicle is being stored the door will not open for the one you're in, so get out of your car (a bike works easier) and push it next to the garage doors, when you get close enough it will open and let you push your vehicle into the garage. This is very handy when you want both a car and a bike at your fingertips. Marcel Rijkaart informed me of another method to do this. Here's what he had to say: "Park a car (van) below tha garagedoor preventing it from closing. That way you can enter any car or motor you want. After you get into the car that blocks the door move it into the garage and presto it will close with you having several machines in your garage." NOTE: Though this glitch can be pretty useful, there's a chance that your vehicles might get "eaten" or in simple terms, vanish. ------------------------------ 1.4 Near Infinite Sprint Trick ------------------------------ Just tap default X button to sprint instead of holding it down. You cycle the sprint so it's like you never start. This can be done at any time; whether during a mission or exploration. -------------------------- 1.5 Avenging Angels glitch -------------------------- A common issue which causes players to start the whole mission again. When an avenging angel dies, the game asks the player to find another avenging angel and recruit them to continue. Though it is possible to find one, recruiting them is impossible. The same thing happens when you already have an avenging angel with you and you want more guys to join you. So the only time you can recruit an avenging angel is when you start the mission. To prevent this from happening, leave the avenging angel behind and do the mission. As your targets pop up on the screen, head over to the destinations and eliminate them, making sure that the avenging angel doesn't get into your vehicle. As long as the "original" avenging angel is alive, you'll continue to progress through the mission. There's no real drawback in doing this since the avenging angels are unarmed and are not of much help anyway. However, if you still want to take these guys with you, here are some tips you can follow, which will make it worth your while. 1) Arming your angels K Bub notified me of this method. Here's what he had to say: "Your angels can get weapons if the walk over them. The first weapon they pick up they'll keep to the death. Lure them over the weapon that you want them to have. Any Hand gun, Submachine gun is good. No shotguns because they have a tendency to shoot you. A common weapon to see dropped off by enemies is the Katana which is a excelent weapon of defense." I've tried the following method twice and I've been successful at both times. The first time I did it, it was in frustration, the second time it was intentional. 2)When you lose an avenging angel and need to recruit one more, just go find one. Since the glitch prevents you from recruiting him, he should just continue walking as if he never saw you. Using your fists, do a melee attack on the avenging angel(don't use a gun or more powerful melee weapons since they'll only do more damage to him and increase the probability of him getting killed). A punch or a kick will do. He should now start running away. Follow him and after a while, he should get tired and stop to breathe. Now go stand in front of him and he'll join you. You can use the same method to have more avenging angels join you. Also park a vehicle on the pavement/road so that it blocks his path when he tries to run away after doing a melee attack. This will make your job easier. Note: Though it has worked for worked for me, there's no guarantee that this will work everytime. As a precaution, leave the avenging angel behind and do the mission. Scott Harvie just emailed me about a weird glitch he encountered when doing the avenging angels missions. Here's what he had to say: "When carrying out the Avenging Angels misson in Portland, running away from the other angel to keep him alive, the timer disappeared after level 1 was finished. This game me loads of time to complete the 15 missons and obtain the bike.... BUT the timer returned reading 32 minutes and I found myself on level 16! I completed levels up to 22 before before running out of armour. Health icons don't respawn... apart from the one in the safe house." Again, such things are inexplicable. They just seem to happen randomly. Just like in missions like "Awol Angel" and "9mm Mayhem", though you do not have control over the driver, sometimes the driver dies on crashing onto a vehicle and you fail the mission after having done so well. So such things just happen randomly, so simply ignore them and try again." --------------------------- 1.6 Buildings without roofs --------------------------- Not really a glitch but I happened to notice this when I was flying around Staunton Island in a Hunter (apache heli) using Edisoncarter's awesome cheat device. Most of the buildings don't have roofs when seen from above. Just try looking at the Stadium on Staunton Island when flying in a helicopter and you'll see something interesting. Could this be a reason why aircrafts were taken out? ------------------------------------------- 1.7 Max out ammo wihout visiting Ammunation ------------------------------------------- Again, not a "standard" glitch but one worth mentioning due to the advantage it can give the player. It's more of a tip. To make use of this, you must have collected at least 10 hidden packages. Assuming you have collected all 100 packages, you should have various weapons spawning outside your safehouse. But after you pick them up, it usually takes a while for them to respawn. But if you run into a save game icon in your safehouse and then run outside again, the weapons will have respawned regardless of whether you saved or cancelled the save. This can give you a significant advantage if you're stuck in one of the earlier missions and need superior firepower. --------------------------------- 1.8 The no bike sound game glitch --------------------------------- When you steal a bike and the radio is on, there will be no noise from the bike when you go. Note: This only works if you drive really fast. Once you brake, the radio plays. Very common on PCJs. --------------------------------------- 1.9 The drive destroyed car game glitch --------------------------------------- Find an automobile with a driver in it. Press Triangle to get in the car and immediately enable the "Destroy all cars" code. If done correctly, you should be in the automobile, but it will be on fire. Enable the "Full health" code to put the fire out. You can now do things like in a normal car. If you take it to a Pay N Spray, the automobile will be fixed but still look burned. --------------------------------------------------------- 1.10 The ride through wall in Staunton Island game glitch --------------------------------------------------------- In the Rockford area, directly beside the hospital is a construction site. Get a PCJ 600 and ride it to the red bar at the construction site's entrance and break it. Then, back up and then go fast as possible. Ramp up the dirt pile inside the construction site. Once you are on the first roof, jump over to the second roof while still on your bike. Then, go to the wall to your right and ride slowly into it. Note: You may need to do this more than once. If done correctly, you should fall into the wall. When you are done falling, you will be in the unfinished tunnels below. The only way to get exit is to die. -------------------------------------------------- 1.11 "Calm Before The Storm" Helicopter -- Flyable -------------------------------------------------- In the mission, "Calm Before the Storm", you're supposed to follow Massimo who is in a helicopter. Just follow him until his second landing and then grab a bike, preferably a PCJ-600. Then simply floor it up the stairs and since you are on a vehicle, the next segment of the mission won't initiate, allowing you to use the helicopter. Note: - This is the only time in the game where you can fly an aircraft "legally". - If you fly too far away from that area, you'll be wasted automatically. --------------------------- 1.12 The 'Chauffeur' glitch --------------------------- A very rare and peculiar glitch which happened to Tim Puckett while he was driving around. Here's what he had to say: "My car was smoking, but not on fire, when all of a sudden the computer took over. The game controlled the driver for a good ten minutes before wrecking." And apparently, it seems Korey has also experienced the same, if not similar problem. Here's what Korey had to say: "Hi also like tim puckett i was taken control of by sumthing fer a good 30 mins near the asian casino in staunton i had my shotgun out and he satrted blasting random peds if it happens again ill record a video using cheat device its the oddest thing but just wanted to let ya know." Alstroph was another player who witnessed the same glitch. Here's what he had to say: "I received the same glitch the first time I played the game. I went to steal a car by pressing Triangle. My main character got in the car and threw the driver out. Then I started driving, or I thought I was. When I tried to turn the car wouldn't turn... then I let go of X and my car was still driving. I used the camera to view the car and the driver was in there driving. It wasn't a taxi cab or a limo. Just a regular car. The driver was driving like a maniac... like he was trying to get away from me. It seemed that I could influence the way he drove a little bit, too. Like when I pushed right.. he went right ever so slightly so that he was on the sidewalk. Same thing with the right except he didn't go all the way to the sidewalk. I let this go on for about 5 or 6 minutes. Towards the end I kept pushing triangle over and over... and eventually my main character bailed from the car with the driver still in it. He tried to drive off... but I pulled him out and beat him senselessly." Here's Vincent Cecelia's story: "My car was taken over by a mysterious force, well technically it wasn't. Here is the story...I completed every story mission up until 8 ball and Donald Love. I was driving a Pink Cheetah around Staunton Island. A little low on health, I was looking to pick up a hooker. I honked the horn and she got into the car. Suddenly, opne of the car thieves (white guy, blue jeans, blue and gray hoodie with long sleeves) came up to my car. He starts to pull my hooker out of the car and by this time i am going like 85 down the street hitting things to throw him off of the door or something (do you know how hard it is to find a hooker? almost as hard as looking for an avenging angel). So anyways he pulls her out and gets into the passenger side. Here is where it gets freaky. I don't get out of the car like I normally would. The thief bascially sits in my lap or something and takes over the car. I was looking thorugh the front window with the look behind view and I only saw that guy driving. Toni was nowhere in sight but it seemed as though the guy was glitching through me. We (well rather he) drove have way across Staunton island before the game let me bail out. I couldn't turn, i couldn't brake nor powerslide. I couldn't chnage radio stations. I lost all control of the car except looking back and to the sides and things of that nature. My sound was turned way up so i could hear my engine on the car clearly. Ironically, everytime i hit X, the engine revved as if the car was going faster, which wasn't the case. I was a hostage in a car i orignally carjacked. What goes around comes around i guess. I thought i should mention." So there you go. It seems very likely to me. And from Alstroph's info, it seems the player can even indirectly control the glitch. Vincent's example does seem similar to something that I've experienced a long time ago in San Andreas with one of my homies. None of us have any idea what causes this glitch though. ----------------------------- 1.13 Death in the Car Crusher ----------------------------- It is possible to get Toni wasted by jumping into the Car Crusher, no matter how much health and armor he has. There are two ways to do this: 1) Use the Powerjump feature of the cheatdevice and jump into the crusher. 2) Get a Trashmaster and head to the dump. Park it behind the blue thing by the crusher. Now go get the Perrenial parked there and park it by the Trashmaster. MAKE SURE THE BACK OF THE PERENNIAL IS BY THE FRONT OF THE TRASH MASTER!!! NOT THE BACK!!! Jump on the perennial and then jump off it onto the front white part of the Trashmaster. Now get on the green part of the Trashmaster. Now jump on the blue thing (this might take a few tries. Jump when you're in the middle of the trashmaster's green thing when it's sideways). Now look into the crusher, just blue scratched and rusted and gray on the bottom. Now JUMP IN!!! DO IT!!! DO IT!!! You're feet and part of your legs sink into the gray part then 3 seconds later... WASTED!!! There really is no point in doing this glitch, though. ---------------------- 1.14 Cop memory loss?! ---------------------- This only works if you have a one-star wanted level. If a cop is chasing you on foot with a nightstick in his hand, instead of attacking him and getting more heat on yourself, why not "transfer" it to someone else? When the cop chases you, go stand next to a ped in such a way that the cop inadvertently hits the ped. Believe me, it's a lot easier to do. The ped may either run away or attack the cop. If the ped attacks the cop, the cop will start beating the ped mercilessly. Often, the cop comes out on top because he's got a nightstick. And when he does, he won't chase you any more for some reason, unless you provoke him. Note: Other cops will still attack you as usual. --------------------- 1.15 Police Brutality --------------------- Normally cops only pursue you on foot when you have a one-star wanted level. And they only use their nightsticks to attack you (for a one-star). But if you jump onto the top of a car, they'll start shooting at you. Jumping onto the road again won't solve the problem. It seems there IS a 'height' of patience after all. ------------------ 1.16 Custom tracks ------------------ Not really a gameplay glitch, but certainly a big problem for many who had great expectations about this feature. This feature was added just before the game was released, so it doesn't seem to work as it should. It doesn't automatically detect MP3s on your memory stick and play them. However, there's a way to get your tracks to play. Requirements: Windows Media player, Nero Express, Daemon, Rockstar Custom Tracks 1) Create a playlist in Windows Media and put all your desired MP3s in it. 2) Select 'Copy to CD or device' and make sure you have all your songs ticked. 3) You should see two dropdown menus on top. From the right one, choose 'Nero Fast CD-Burning Plug In' and select copy. 4) Save it as an image file in any destination folder, preferably 'My Music'. 5) Using Daemon, select the image file you just created. 6) Windows will prompt you to take an action, just select 'Take no action'. 7) Now open Rockstar Custom Tracks and your tracks should be there. They'll be named sequentially as Track01, Track02,.....etc. 8) You can edit details like album name, song name etc. 9) Connect your PSP to your PC using the USB cable and select USB mode. 10) Click the PSP icon to the left side of the window. A list will appear asking you to which game you want to copy these tracks. Select GTA: LCS(US) and RCT will convert your MP3s into .gta files(compression) and save them into the custom tracks folder which will be created automatically. 11) The next time you play the game, press start, select audio and then switch on custom tracks. Note: -When the Custom Tracks feature is enabled, the in-game radio stations will be disabled. -There is no particular station in which your tracks are played as in previous games. Instead, the name of the song will be displayed and you can actually choose which track you want to play. -There are no commercials between songs like in San Andreas. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Secrets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx NOTE: You CANNOT have all unique vehicles in a single game save simply because there is not enough garage space. Although you can take advantage of the glitch which allows you to store more than one vehicle, it's much safer and convenient to choose which ones you really need and store them. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------- 2.1 Bulletproof PCJ-600 ----------------------- In the mission,"Biker Heat", you'll have to chase down Wayne. Kill him when he is on the bike. Note that if he falls off the bike, it will lose its property. You can ride the bike and park it in your garage for a bulletproof PCJ-600. ----------------------- 2.2 Bulletproof Stretch ----------------------- In the mission, "Search and Rescue", Salvatore will ask you to bring his bulletproof limo to a spot. All you have to do is drive the limo into your garage and once you're inside, you'll have to destroy the car without using guns. You'll automatically fail the mission when the car is destroyed. Allow the garage door to close and then let it open and you'll have your own bulletproof limo. ----------------------- 2.3 Bulletproof Patriot ----------------------- RLG found, confirmed and reconfirmed this vehicle. In the mission, "False Idols", you'll have to blow up three celebrities before they reach the LCFR mission. One of them travels in a helicopter, one of them travels in a limo and one of them travels in a Bulletproof Patriot. You'll be provided with a Rocket Launcher for this mission. Destroy the limo(and if you can, the chopper also) as quickly as possible. Do not attack the Patriot yet. Wait for the celebrity to reach the LCFR station. Once he reaches the station, he'll get out of the vehicle and run towards the entrance of the station. Eliminate him(he has two bodyguards) to pass the mission. The Patriot will be locked though, so you'll have to push it to your garage. Use another vehicle to push it into your garage and allow the door to close. Then let it reopen and you'll have your new Bulletproof Patriot with its doors unlocked. If you're lucky and time your attack well, you might be able to get into the Patriot as soon as the celebrity gets out and before the door closes shut. I know that even in bulletproof cars, it is possible to snipe the driver, so you can just snipe the celebrity and he'll fall off leaving the door open. You can also blow up the Patriot during the mission using the Rocket Launcher and then push it to your garage. The vehicle somehow retains its property. Here's a tip from Geist0: "You need to be ON the Patriot. You also need to destroy the Stretch. So, destroy the Stretch first, then the Patriot. Use a Trashmaster to take the Patriot to your garage. When you notice that the helicopter is arriving at LCFR (check you map often), get out of the Trashmaster and jump to the top of the Patriot. The mission will be failed, and the Patriot will be the same way it was before. Then, just push it to your garage (it must be EMPTY, or it will eat the car). Save the game. Why Trashmaster? Because a normal car won't be strong enough. If you cheat often, use a Rhino." NOTE: This is the only yellow Patriot in the game. No other Patriot spawns in yellow and you can't get other Patriots resprayed in yellow, so this is indeed the most valuable unique vehicle of all and I recommend alloting your Staunton garage for this. --------------- 2.3 The Avenger --------------- For passing the Avenging Angels mission in Portland, you'll receive this modified Angel with a unique paintjob as a reward. What's even more unique is that it's bulletproof. Note that it only spawns once so you'll have to store in your garage if you want it. --------------------------- 2.4 Bulletproof Landstalker --------------------------- For completing all the 'See the sight before your flight' missions, you'll receive this vehicle as a reward. Note that it only spawns once so you'll have to store it in your garage if you want it. ------------------------ 2.5 Take it to the skies ------------------------ It is possible to ride on those big planes that continuosly take off and land at the Francis International Airport. Just stand on top of one of those yellow ramps near the runway and when a plane passes by, you can jump onto its wing and take a ride. Initially it can be quite challenging to stay on the wing without falling but after a few tries, you'll really start enjoying it. The location where these ramps are located is referred to as the "wing-surfing location" by the teleport feature of the cheatdevice. Have fun wing-surfing. -------------------------- 2.6 $50 Good citizen bonus -------------------------- Just like in Vice City, you can receive $50 as reward for helping cops apprehend criminals on the street. Occasionally, you'll see cops chasing criminals on the street. Most of the time, these criminals happen to be gang members. No matter who they are, just do a melee attack on them and you should receive $50 as good citizen bonus. Note that unlike Vice City, if you attack them more than once, the cop will start chasing you. Also note that you cannot do this when you have a wanted level. -------------------------------- 2.7 Loot the rich and get richer -------------------------------- In Chinatown, there's a bank near the 'Punk Noodles' restaurant. There are two ATMs at the bank which peds randomly operate every now and then. When you see a ped walking towards the ATM, wait for them to finish their transaction and then kill them. These peds happen to drop more money than others. This is very useful, particularly in the earlier stages of the game when you may not have enough money to buy weapons. ------------------- 2.8 Pick up hookers ------------------- Not really a secret but something that's known to every GTA player. You can "recruit" hookers from all over the city and have sex with them. Make sure you have at least an average car or a sports car, anything from the Perennial to the Infernus will do. Just don't try it in a Rhino,lol. And no bikes either, which goes without saying. Occasionally, you should see hookers on the streets. Just stop near them and they should stand still for some time when they reach you and then get into your vehicle. They'll be seated in your vehicle and your cash will decrease penny by penny. You'll have to drive them to a secluded place, an area with a lot of trees works best. Once you're at the spot, just park your car there and you should hear some sounds of what is supposedly sex. When she's done, the hooker will get out of your car and walk away and your health bar will have risen. Hookers are much rarer in this game than in previous ones. Try finding one at the Red Light District, if there's no luck, try Staunton(near the movie theatres). There's always better chances of finding a hooker at night than during daytime. Note: You can simply kill the hooker and get your cash back. Well, maybe not all of it. -------------------- 2.10 Vehicle bonuses -------------------- Another well known fact but could still be helpful to a few players. When you get into specific vehicles, you're given some bonuses. Getting into a Police Car gives you a Shotgun with some shells. Getting into an Ambulance Van gives you a small health boost. Getting into an Enforcer Van gives you a complete body armor boost. Getting into a Taxi gives you $12. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Easter Eggs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Due to the low resolution textures, some easter eggs may not appear clearly when seen with the naked eye. I suggest you carry a camera with you and use it to zoom onto these objects to get a better picture. To get a camera, make sure you have access to Shoreside Vale. Start the 'See the Sight before your Flight' mission and take the tourist to the spot. When he/she gets down from the car and runs to a spot, follow them and stand in the yellow marker. You will now be provided with the tourist's camera to take 3 photos of them. Instead of taking the photos, just leave the tourist there and drive away. After some time, you'll fail the mission for losing the tourist but you'll still have the camera. Foxhound suggests using a Sniper Rifle instead of a camera, which is a great idea because it's easier to get your hands onto a Sniper Rifle, especially if you've got the packages, than to get a camera. The Sniper Rifle also zooms in and out very well and is as handy as a camera. ------------------ 3.1 Snipe the moon ------------------ Like in the previous GTAs, it is possible to change the size of the moon by using the sniper rifle. Each time you snipe it, its size changes. ------------------------- 3.2 Madd Dogg's new album ------------------------- Behind Toni's safehouse in Portland, there's a billboard advertising the digitally remastered version of Madd Dogg's latest album. For those of you who are new to GTA, Madd Dogg is the rapper from San Andreas. ------------------- 3.3 Bully reference ------------------- On the compound wall to the north side of the hospital (facing the road) at Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale, there is a graffiti in red which reads, 'Bully', which is one of Rockstar's other titles. ----------------------------- 3.4 Sonny Forelli - A Tribute ----------------------------- Get to the payphone at Shoreside Vale which starts the 'Gangsta GP' bike race. Once you're there, walk a few feet north and on the wall, you should see a large poster that reads, 'Sonny Forreli - A Real Story' and it even contains a picture. Also note that the word 'FORELLI' is spelt as 'FORRELI'. It looks like a movie based on Sonny Forelli. --------------- 3.5 Smiley Face --------------- On Staunton Island there is a parking lot on the top southwest corner. Look for a white staircase inbetween the parking garage and the parking lot entrances on the southside. Go up the staircase and jump on the short cement railing. Then turn east and jump up on the roof over looking the parking lot (Liberty City Tree Building) and run across the roof to the other side where you will see a courtyard. Jump down into the courtyard and run to the very end of the courtyard to the northwest. Then on a wall at the end of a courtyard has a white picture of a smiley face and says 'Hello Again'. This is the same spot where in Grand Theft Auto III, where a sign says "You aren't supposed to be here." ---------------------------------- 3.6 San Andreas screenshot (of CJ) ---------------------------------- When you enter Shoreside Vale using the Lift Bridge, you should a lot of

You live in the same town, I think it's a lot to ask to leave her kids at her house while she goes somewhere else for Christmas. I think she should've told you sooner, but I'd stay with the out-of-towners too.
I think that Lita tried to be nice and please everyone, and in doing so made both sets of relatives a bit unhappy. Her family may have been quite shocked that she wasn't going to spend all of Christmas with them, while your father and your family were unhappy at the late cancellation.Unless this behavior becomes a pattern with Lita, I think that you should just let it go. She goofed, but her family probably gave her a hard time about the initial plans.If your dad and Lita are still together next year, plan early - very early.
I would be upset too, if my father chose to spend Xmas eve with his date's family and she could not reciprocate when my family made plans around her, she's put you in your place, so to speak and I would be angry about it. Lita should not have made plans with you nor forced her idea of Xmas on you.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Tianna Hawkins dominated the paint with 26 points and a season-high 17 rebounds, and No. 10 Maryland defeated North Carolina State 82-62 Thursday night to win its fourth straight game.
It was the ninth double-double of the season for Hawkins, the ACC's leading scorer. Alyssa Thomas contributed 18 points and freshman Tierney Pfirman added 16 for the Terrapins (14-3, 5-1). The Terrapins, the nation's leading rebounding team, owned the glass, 47-34 and beat the Wolfpack in the paint, 51-22.
Maryland never trailed in its fifth ACC win of the year. The Terrapins have won eight of their last nine games against NC State (8-10, 0-6).
Marissa Kastanek scored 16 points for the Wolfpack, who shot 34 percent from the field in their fifth consecutive loss. NC State hasn't won in College Park since Jan. 23, 2005.
Maryland led by 10 early in the second half before Alicia DeVaughn made a layup to spark a 13-2 spree that made it 49-28 with 16:36 left. The run included two layups by Hawkins and five straight points by guard Chloe Pavlech.
Less than a minute later, Thomas was called for her third foul. Coach Brenda Frese kept her in the game, and Thomas promptly responded by sinking a soft jumper and getting an assist on a 3-pointer by Pfirman.
The lead swelled to 70-39 with 10 minutes remaining.
Thomas and Hawkins each scored 10, and the Terrapins limited NC State to 29 percent shooting in taking a 34-23 halftime lead.
Maryland scored the opening eight points, half of them by Thomas. The Wolfpack started 0 for 5 from the floor with two turnovers, including a pair of shot-clock violations, before Kastanek hit a jumper and successive 3-pointers to knot the score.
Thomas answered with three straight jumpers to make it 14-8, and the Terrapins never relinquished the lead.
Next, Maryland will hit the road to take on Georgia Tech (8-9, 1-5) Sunday at 3 p.m. in Atlanta. The Terps-Yellow Jackets game will be shown live on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com in some areas. They last met in the 2012 ACC Championship game, with the Terrapins winning 68-65.
After Sunday's game, the Terps will return home to host No. 11 North Carolina (18-1, 6-0) Thursday at 8:30 p.m. For tickets to the Maryland-UNC matchup, log on to UMTerps.com or call 1-800-IM-A-TERP. The Tar Heels edged the Terps, 60-57, on Jan. 3 in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Gasworks presents the group exhibition Late Barbarians, which includes video, photography and sculpture by Juan Downey (1940–1993, Chile), Lili Dujourie (b.1941, Belgium),Sidsel Meineche Hansen (b.1981, Denmark), Matts Leiderstam (b.1956, Sweden), Chris Marker (1921–2012, France)Focusing on the notion of corporeal memory, the exhibition explores how shifting social codes and cultural values have been embodied in historical Western European art and architecture. The exhibition takes its title from an expression by German sociologist Norbert Elias, which suggests that our future descendants may eventually consider us to have lived during an extended medieval period, implying that we share far greater affinities with our Barbarian ancestors than we might like to think. Similarly, the works on show question linear interpretations of history, invoking a present that is haunted by the gestures of our ancestors.
Paying particular attention to art historical representations of the body, works range from photographs that propose a queer re-reading of the gestures depicted in Renaissance paintings (Matts Leiderstam) to abstract, single-take "dances to camera" that attempt to divorce particular habits of the body from their entrenched social connotations (Lili Dujourie) and a virtual exhibition tour that takes place in the online world of Second Life (Chris Marker). In addition, Juan Downey's video essay The Looking Glass (1981) decodes the iconography of the mirror in well-known artworks by Velázquez, Holbein and Picasso, and a new commission by Sidsel Meineche Hansen entitled HIS HEAD (2013-) comprises a clay sculpture and symposium that together examine the human head, separate from the body, as a symbol of patriarchy and power.
Late Barbarians is the second exhibition of The Civilising Process, a yearlong programme of exhibitions and events at Gasworks inspired by Elias' eponymous 1939 book.

Michael Best is general counsel for the NYC Department of Education, which, we're told, is looking into those schools that teach only the memorization of the Koran.
"We are in the process of getting in touch with them to see what's going on there," ... Best, said last week. "If there are concerns, we'll have to address them pursuant to the state guidelines."
City education officials say the investigation was triggered by a feature story about the schools in mid-August in the New York Times.
Nice to know the NYC Department of Education is keeping watch over education in NYC, such that they "get in touch" with a place if there's a big article on the front page of the NYT. "If there are concerns"... yeah, if. All the students do is memorize the Koran. How could that possibly not be a concern? And Best is saying that maybe they offer "a more well-rounded education than others in the city"? What on earth could they be doing at those other schools?
(Here's my post from last month, linking to and discussing the NYT article.)

An insult: Hit and run victim slams 16-month jail term for dangerous driver
Exclusive by Kimberly Middleton, Assistant News Editor / / Video
A hit and run victim has branded the 16-month jail term handed to the offender as an insult.
Michelle Greest was mown down on Brighton seafront by Christopher Chan in the early hours of July 15.
He was in a stolen car in the middle of a crime spree and left her for dead in Marine Parade.
Michelle, 28, has spent months in agony, learning to walk again only after metal rods were put in her badly broken lower legs.
But a judge spoke of his frustration at the limited jail sentence he could hand down to the man who left her fighting for life.
Last night she told how she felt insulted that he could serve such a short term after robbing her of months of her life.
Her determination has kept her going as she recovers from a fractured neck and pelvis, as well as bleeding under her scalp.
Chan ran down Michelle as she walked to catch a taxi home to Portslade after celebrating a friend's birthday in Brighton.
Her parents stopped Michelle's younger sisters Leanne and Emma from seeing her until a day after the accident because her injuries were so horrific.
Leanne said: "She looked awful. She had big black eyes, part of her head was shaved. She was lying there in a really deep sleep, hooked up to all these machines.
"We didn't know what to do. We just sat there and held her hand."
Lost memory
Michelle does not remember the moment Chan ran her down. Her first memory is of waking in hospital in a neck brace with metal rods sticking from her legs.
She said: "When I woke up all these things were running through my head - would I be able to walk again? What would be my future if I couldn't?
"My life had changed. But I am stubborn and I soon became certain that I would get back to normal again."
After weeks in hospital she was taken to rehabilitation at the end of August.
As Michelle was rolled through the doors in a wheelchair, nurses told her she would be there for a few months.
Leanne said: "She said 'No, I will be in here for two weeks'. At that point she hadn't even taken a step.
"I went on holiday for a week and came back to find her walking up and down the stairs. I was so shocked."
Michelle said: "I thought that if you put your mind in the right place you can get yourself better.
"I would just walk up and down the corridors to get exercise.
"I just want to get back to work, to what my life was like before."
Defying the medics, she went home three weeks later.
Today Michelle still walks with a limp and is unlikely to go back to work as a carer for several months.
She has not yet been able to return to running, after competing in Brighton's first marathon, and still hasn't been able to go back to spinning classes.
She said: "The injuries I have are holding me back. I miss not being as active and I was before.
"It's a disappointment. I'm quite a strong person and I can deal with the fact my life has changed a bit.
"But I'm still not able to go back to work because working as a carer is a physical job, so I am losing out financially as well."
As she faces up to the fact that Chan's careless driving will cost her up to a year of her life in recovery, she says his 16 month prison term is an insult.
At Lewes Crown Court on Monday Judge David Rennie agreed, describing his sentencing powers as an "embarrassing inadequacy".
For the two burglaries Chan committed at one timber flooring store after running Michelle down, he was jailed for 24 months.
In total he was jailed for five years and eight months for committing 14 crimes.
The law looks set to change by the end of the year, with new offences open to police officers that will give judges the power to jail people like Chan for up to five years for running her down on its own.
But for Michelle, it still isn't long enough.
She said: "It's a better punishment and it does need to change, but I don't think five years is enough for what he he has done to me.
"The damage he has caused has changed my life. He should be in for at least eight years.

On Wednesday, January 25th, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in Washington DC hosted an unpublicized presentation by the Chief of the Cuban Interests Section, Ambassador José R. Cabañas. The agenda for Havana's Ambassador called for an update on Cuba's economic and social model. Cabañas addressed more than 40 guests on what the Interests Section referred to as " the process of transformation going on on the island…" (sic). The event, reportedly attended by members of the U.S. academic, political, business and media world, took the form of a dialogue, moderated by Julia Sweig, a self-professed friend of half a dozen Cuban Intelligence Officers. According to an internet posting by the Interests Section, "The well-known scholar made an introduction and posed central questions, opening the floor for the audience to address specific concerns."
Curiously, the nearly two-hour discussion from January 25th is not listed on the CFR's roster, Past Meetings, but was belatedly "advertised" by the Cuban Interests Section on Tuesday, January 24th: Lo mas reciente en noticias

When Google announced last year it would help a local community begin offering gigabit-per-second Internet connections, more than 1,100 communities asked for help to gain the super-fast Web link.
Google expects to pick its winning city sometime this year. But Chattanooga, using its municipal utility and the help of a generous $111 million grant from Uncle Sam, sped past the cities vying for Google's attention to become the first to offer gigabit-per-second Internet speed.
The new Internet link by EPB offers Web connections that are more than 200 times faster than the average Internet link.
"We're setting a standard that most of the world won't catch up to for probably another 10 years," Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield said in announcing the new service last September.
The $350-a-month initial price for the gigabit service may be too pricey for most consumers. But Chattanoogans have plenty of choices with its one-time monopoly telephone, cable and high-speed Internet businesses all invading each other's telecom turf.
* EPB joined the fray of high-speed residential Internet and video services last September and already has more than 20,000 home subscribers toward its goal of serving at least 35,000 Chattanooga-area homes. The gigabit-per-second speed was built on the new fiber-optic network.
* Comcast, Chattanooga's primary cable TV provider, also is speeding its Internet and upgrading its television services. To entice customers and keep those already hooked up to Comcast, the cable giant also is offering initial monthly pricing as low as $19.99 a month - or only a fraction of the EPB rate. In January, Comcast completed its purchase of a majority stake in NBC Universal, giving the cable giant access to more entertainment channels.
* AT&T is offering even cheaper long-term broadband and video services through its Internet protocol TV. Although the DSL Internet service is a bit slower than the fastest EPB and Comcast service, AT&T's U-Verse offers the most TV channels at the lowest price point.

UverseWiki is a modular open source PHP framework designed for text processing. Unlike most existing solutions, it is not regular expression-based but instead uses a recursive descent parser to build a document object model. After the parsing stage has been finished and the DOM is produced, the original source is discarded and all operations are performed on the document tree instead: nodes can be altered, serialized, or rendered into a particular format (such as HTML or RTF). The wiki syntax is language-neutral and the processing itself is carried out in UTF-8.
GIF Animation Resizer is a class that can resize animations in files of the GIF format. It can take an animated GIF image file and extract its frames to files into a temporary directory. The class resizes the extracted images and rebuilds the animation into a new file in the GIF format.
FuzzyIndex indexes text for performing fuzzy searches using PHP and SQLite. It can process a list of text strings and build a database which indexes snippets of those strings and the locations where they appear. The class can also search for given keywords and returns the locations of the indexed strings where the best-matching text appears. It uses SQLite to store the indexed text database, but the class can be extended to use a different database type. It uses certain heuristics to extract the snippets from the indexed text. These heuristics are implemented as separate classes which can be used interchangeably.
phpLogin is a user login and authentication module for the phpNova framework. It contains all user authentication-related tasks and UI. Dependencies include: phpSession, phpHash, and phpSQL. This module is part of the phpNova framework for PHP, which is currently in the alpha stages of development.

Carlos Tevez's forgettable night at Bayern Munich two years ago did not just feature his reluctance to warm up on the Allianz Arena touchline. Roberto Mancini's fury at the striker during Manchester City's Champions League encounter with the Bundesliga club was preceded by the manager's contretemps with Edin Dzeko. The Italian would also have to admit that his accusation that Pablo Zabaleta had offered vocal support of Tevez was wrong.
While all this offered a glimpse of the man-management problems that would ultimately contribute to Mancini losing his job, materially there was a 2-0 loss to Bayern that provided an augury of the club's travails against the continent's aristocrats: this would have City failing to progress from the competition's group stages in both that season and the last one.
City meet the Champions League holders on Wednesday evening, just over two years since that 27 September night when Mancini's band were defeated and the grip on his authority began to loosen.
Ahead would be turbulent times. A commanding lead in the championship would slide to an eight-point deficit to Manchester United with six games remaining before the final-day drama of Sergio Agüero's title-clinching goal. Mancini would engage in damaging turf wars with Joe Hart, Samir Nasri, Vincent Kompany, Mario Balotelli (including a training ground scuffle) and Micah Richards. City's title defence the following season was an insipid limp that allowed a modest Manchester United team to canter to a 20th crown by 11 points. And, after a shock 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Wigan last May, Mancini would be sacked.
At the Allianz, City's fortunes unravelled in the closing seven minutes of the first half as Mario Gomez scored twice to send Mancini and his side into the break facing an almost impossible task. After 10 second-half minutes it became Sisyphean. First, Mancini was greeted with a Dzeko sulk at being replaced by Nigel de Jong that was a warm-up act for the main event of Tevez's wildcat action.
Mancini's decision prompted Dzeko to give him a sarcastic thumbs-up as he was pulled off before the pair traded words and the Bosnian threw his tracksuit top to the floor. On Dzeko, Mancini was blunt: "He played a bad game, a poor game. Next time, maybe if he plays better he can stay on the pitch. He needs to improve his behaviour."
Dzeko would hardly prove as recalcitrant as Tevez. When the latter was called upon by Mancini to enter for Nasri, he refused to move. Having twice asked for a transfer – a supposed move that summer to Corinthians fell through – and probably smarting from Agüero's recruitment as his replacement, Tevez's discontent had festered as he became used to life as reserve.
Immediately after the game Tevez denied any wrongdoing, saying: "I didn't feel right to play, so I didn't."
A livid Mancini offered his verdict on whether he would ever pick the player again: "No. If we want to improve like a team, like a squad, Carlos cannot play with us. With me, no – it is finished. It may not be my decision but if I'm deciding then, yes, he goes. For me, if a player earns a lot of money playing for Manchester City in the Champions League and he behaves like this – he cannot play again. Never. He has wanted to leave for the last two years. For two years I have helped him, and now he has refused to play. Never again."
By February, after a three-month sojourn in Argentina where Tevez was often seen on the golf course, he was back, apologising unreservedly to "everybody I have let down and to whom my actions over the last few months have caused offence".
Although not the single factor in Mancini's sacking the following year, the volatile Italian's handling of the fall-out was considered naïve by senior players and was added to the charge sheet against him by the Abu Dhabi hierarchy when they sought to remove him.
Two years on, the match-day squad from that fixture may not be noticeably different from the one Manuel Pellegrini chooses on Wednesday. Apart, that is, from two key actors: Mancini and Tevez. Each have now departed; and tonight is a chance for the club to show how far they have come since that miserable night in Bavaria in September 2011.

Southampton made it two Premier League wins in a row following a well-deserved 2-0 victory over stuttering Newcastle at a wet St Mary's.
Adam Lallana's simple tap-in and Gaston Ramirez's second-half strike proved the difference as the hosts dominated for large periods.
The win moves Southampton within three points of Newcastle and lifts them out of the relegation zone at the expense of Aston Villa.
The home side started brightly, putting pressure on the visitors as they searched for their second win, but it was Newcastle who fashioned the first real chance of the game with a Demba Ba header.
Ramirez then had a shot blocked after a fine solo run as the hosts had the better of the opening 10 minutes. The Uruguay international nearly broke into the penalty box shortly afterwards but was cleaned out on the edge of the area.
Moments after Rickie Lambert hit the bar with a free-kick, Southampton got their deserved lead on 35 minutes.
Tim Krul made a poor clearance which saw the ball fired back in, with Ramirez sliding the ball across to Lallana who had an easy finish to send the home fans into delirium.
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew threw on Sammy Ameobi at half-time in the hope of fashioning more of a threat down the left flank, and the visitors had the first chance of the half as Papiss Cisse headed at Paulo Gazzaniga.
The hosts immediately burst up the other end and Adam Lallana had a close-range shot parried by Krul, who stood firm.
The Newcastle goalkeeper then gifted the hosts a second moments later as he parried a cross straight into the feet of Ramirez, who blasted high into the net to double the lead.
Jason Puncheon nearly made it three soon after when he latched on to the end of Lallana's pass and drilled the ball into Krul's near post.
It was then Gazzaniga's turn to be tested as the Southampton shot-stopper produced a stunning save to deny Davide Santon's header which looked like sneaking in low at the near post.
The woodwork was called into action again as Fonte's looping header hit the bar, then Lallana was denied by Krul once more but the home side had done enough to earn a vital three points.
Lallana was denied by Krul once more before substitute Jay Rodriguez had a goal ruled out for offside, but the home side had done enough to earn a vital three points.

(CNN) - "Fast & Furious 6" studio Universal is doing its part to honor Paul Walker's memory.
After the actor's death in a fiery car wreck Saturday, the studio has pledged to give a percentage of the proceeds from the home entertainment sales of "Fast & Furious 6" to Walker's charity, Reach Out WorldWide.
The 40-year-old founded the organization, which works with local experts to provide disaster relief, in January 2010, after Haiti was devastated by an earthquake.
On the day of his death, Walker was attending a holiday toy drive for the organization.
"With the passing of Paul, the world has lost a man who spent a great deal of his life in service to others," the chairman of Universal Pictures, Donna Langley, said in a statement Tuesday. "We share in the deep grief of his family, friends and the countless fans who love him. We keep Paul's memory alive and honor his legacy through continued support of Reach Out WorldWide, the non-profit he founded to give hope to those who must rebuild after they have experienced natural disasters."
"Fast & Furious 6" was a juggernaut at the box office when it was released in May, and went on to earn $238 million domestically and $788 million worldwide. The DVD and Blu-ray will be released on December 10.
Walker's family has requested that grieving fans and friends donate to Reach Out WorldWide in lieu of sending flowers. "It's comforting for them to know that the son, brother, and father they love so much is equally adored, respected, and appreciated by so many," the actor's family said in a statement. "Paul founded the organization with the genuine desire to help others, and it's important to his family to keep his memory alive through ROWW."
The seventh installment of Universal's blockbuster "Fast" franchise was in the works at the time of Walker's death, and it's still unclear what will become of the project, which is scheduled to bow in July 2014.
In the meantime, Walker's "Fast & Furious" co-stars are trying to cope with a stunning loss.
Jordana Brewster, who worked closely with Walker in a number of the "Fast" films, said in a statement that Walker "was an enormous presence in my life for the past fourteen years."
As others have, Brewster made it a point to note Walker's generous spirit. "While many would be satisfied with material success it made Paul more convinced of the need to help others," the 33-year-old star said. "He never spoke of his immense generosity or philanthropic endeavors unless I prodded, however. This is what made Paul, Paul. He lived with integrity, humanity and humility and seemed most happy when talking about his daughter, Meadow. I don't know anyone who lived each moment more fully and loved life more than Paul; making his loss all the more heartbreaking."
Brewster's comment is part of an incredible outpouring of messages from people in the entertainment industry. After news of his death spread, even those who said they didn't know Walker well acknowledged that they'd heard about his kindness.
Michelle Rodriguez, another actress who's worked with Walker, tweeted on December 2 that she's "gonna carry this torch for you brother, with a forced smile on my face and Im gonna open my heart just cause your telling me to."
Other "Fast" stars, like Tyrese Gibson and Vin Diesel, have joined fans in mourning at the crash site. Gibson has shared what he calls words of healing with fans, and Diesel posted a farewell message to Walker on his Facebook page.
"Pablo, I wish you could see the world right now... and the profound impact, your full life has had on it, on Us... on me," he wrote. "I will always love you Brian, as the brother you were... on and off screen."

Niche Player: IBM
IBM offers public cloud IaaS through its SmartCloud Enterprise (SCE) and delivers the services from data centers in the U.S., as well as in Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Brazil.
IBM also sells a cloud-enabled infrastructure service, IBM SmartCloud Enterprise+, and Platform-as-a-Aervice.
Strengths: IBM has a broad range of cloud offerings, and its PaaS works well with SmartCloud Enterprise, Gartner said.
Cautions: Gartner had many concerns, including that SmartCloud Enterprise "still lags significantly" behind competitors in terms of features. IBM's security also is weak and may make it difficult for enterprises to meet regulatory compliance requirements, Gartner said.
IBM also has a "weak" SLA and charges extra for maintenance.
Other issues Gartner raised include a murky OpenStack commitment and uncertainty over future strategic direction in the wake of IBM's acquisition of SoftLayer, which closed in July.

Michigan Blitz
* As many of you wrote to tell us, Sam McGuffie, the best all-purpose back in the land, picked Michigan over Texas A&M. Click here for highlight reels galore courtesy of Brian at MGoBlog.
* UPDATE: Yahoo! Sports has a nice article on what the McGuffie signing means for Michigan.
* Garvie Craw, who started at FB for U-M in the late 60s and who, according to our tipster, scored the first TD against Tosu in Bo's big 24-12 win in '69, passed away last Friday.
* ESPN lists the top college football programs of the last 10 years. Not only does Michigan come in at #6, but check out the stats. Very impressive when compared to the others on there. I think, due to our disappointments vs. Tosu and in the Rose Bowl of late, we forget just how good we have it.
(HT: SiC)
* Worthy cause: An online auction of 191 items, many of them Michigan-themed sports memorabilia, is being held to fund the Bernard Maloy Scholarship at U-M. The Scholarship is in honor of a professor at Michigan who passed away in 2001 of esophageal cancer. Once funded, it will be awarded to Michigan undergrads who either have cancer themselves or who have direct family members who have or are battling cancer. Click here to find out more and view the items up for bid.
* Finally, U-M grad and stand-up comic Tom Franck just returned from Texas where he was one of the five Famecast.com finalists in the comedy competition. MZone readers were part of the reason he made it that far, helping vote him through. Well, to help him take the last step and nab the crown, click here to vote for him (yes, if you're not registered, you have to. A pain but not a bad one).

I honestly don't see how we aren't ahead of Texas and Florida on that list, particularly Florida. Tied for bowl record (and beat them head-to-head the only time we played during the period) and national titles, plus a better win/loss record and more conference titles. How is that not more successful? Texas has a one game edge in overall and bowl games, but we have three more conference titles.

Regarding the auction sites... check out mgoblue.com regularly (particularly at the end of seasons). There's often silent auctions which benefit the other sports programs. The hockey team auctioned 100 game worn jerseys this year... for example.
