100 Pounds Lost
Weight Loss Success Stories: Stacey Lost 185 Pounds With Inspiration From Carnie Wilson
Name: Stacey Morris
Age: 48
Height: 5'8″
Before Weight: 345 pounds
How I Gained It: I was a chubby kid. My parents panicked and put me on a diet at age 9. They were concerned and well-meaning, but the 70s were the dark ages. Dieting wrecked psyche and metabolism. I was either making an attempt to live under the depressing conditions of the latest diet, or binge-eating as if it were my last day on earth. I lost 100 pounds twice in my 20s but regained it, in large part because I made the change out of shame and because I believed that my pre-existing problems would magically melt away with the weight. Even at a smaller size I was still the ashamed fat kid who was never good enough. By the time I hit my 30s I was 300 pounds and utterly worn out by the lose-gain cycle, so I waved the white flag of surrender and decided I would eat whatever I wanted when I wanted. My designated food groups were fat, white carbs and salt: French fries, potato chips, Italian bread soaked in butter, cheeseburgers and fried chicken. Cream cheese was my all-time favorite source of protein. No need for salmon or spinach, thank you very much. My mission was to seek out food that tasted good and helped me escape the feelings of turmoil over a stressful job, unhappy relationship and the deep sorrow over slowly losing my father to Alzheimer's disease.
Breaking Point: I was sitting in front of the TV the afternoon of January 5, 2009, working my way through a large bag of potato chips and a party-sized bowl of clam dip. I'd just come from my annual checkup at the doctor's, where I learned my weight was at an all-time high of 345 pounds. Equally discouraged and disgusted, I retreated to the couch to watch Oprah reveal that she'd fallen off the wagon (boy, could I relate). Unbeknownst to me, Carnie Wilson was a guest that day, beamed in via sattelite to explain her recent turnaround and weight loss. I was riveted. Carnie was slender, her eyes glowed with contentment, and I had an immediate realization: If she could do it, there was hope for me. I'd always considered Carnie Wilson to be my genetic twin: we were both chubby kids who became fat teenagers who became obese adults. And we were both trapped by an overly zealous love of food.
How I Lost It: Through a Google search, I found Carnie's fitness guru, Diamond Dallas Page, and began doing his DDPYOGA workouts regularly. The routines began to strengthen my lethargic and sedentary body. They're also a cardio workout and got my heart and lungs in better condition. I was given valuable nutritional mentoring from Dallas Page, who suggested I give up gluten and cow dairy. As much as I adore bread and cheese, I was willing to give it a try and amazed at how much better I felt — the weight also started coming off like never before. The last thing I wanted, however, was to be doing anything that felt like a diet, so I set about putting habits into place I could live with. No food was permanently off limits. But at the same time, I had to acknowledge that a steady stream of junk food was doing me no favors. I agreed to have treats like fried chicken when I was truly craving it, and not when I wanted to fill an emotional hole. The lighter I became, the more I wanted to do. Nine months into my new way of life and 100 pounds lighter, I trained for and participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. To this day, I love long-distance walking, as well as weight-training, Pilates and all forms of yoga.
I wore nothing but black stretchy clothing for 20 years and now I wear color! It feels great to walk into a clothing store and gravitate to a rack because of the color or style, not the size of the clothing. That experience beats the daylights out of hoping to find something quasi-fashionable in a plus-sized clothing catalog. I also travel a lot more. Trying to fit into an airplane seat at 345 pounds is something I wouldn't wish on an enemy. I no longer avoid crowded restaurants for fear of knocking tables askew with my hips, and don't flee the building like it's on fire if someone pulls out a camera. What's different at the core is knowing I deserve to be happy. That was a belief that always eluded me. And no coincidence that once I turned that belief around, a happy and fulfilling relationship with a wonderful man was added to the list of positive changes.
I'm very fortunate that the Carnie Wilson/Oprah incident was my wake-up call. It's a mixed blessing that I come from healthy genetic stock. Even during the obese years, my blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar were all about average. I'm not saying they were great, but there was no solemn moment when my doctor warned me I was a ticking time bomb. Like I said, a double-edged sword. I could have gone on for another couple of decades at that size, but at what cost? My blood pressure may have been OK, but what good was that if my energy level was non-existent, my mobility severely limited and the majority of my mental energy harnessed in the direction of orchestrating my next binge? Today, I love food, possibly more than ever, because I eat with awareness and not in a trance. And I love other things, like climbing a few flights of stairs without sounding like a locomotive, wearing high heels instead of flat sandals, slipping into the back seat of a compact car and mentoring others who are on a similar path.
So who knows, if you're reading this and want similar things to unfold for you, maybe I can be your Carnie Wilson and let you know that it really is possible. Start out wherever you are and take the first few steps in a new direction. If you really want it to, your perfectly imperfect path can deliver you to a new life.

very impressive!
Omg wow
Amazing. Congrats and thanks for the inspiration!
I wondered how that series was and thought about giving it a try but didn't want it to be another dust collecter. I do love strength training yoga so maybe this is yhe right combo for me.
how about the plateau you hit and you got past that point
Stacey Morris is awesome and DDP Yoga is the best workout on the planet! I have tried EVERYTHING, my flexibility has increased so much, and my quality of life (example – being able to bend down and pick something up off the floor pain free) has improved tremendously!!!
an inspiration…I just ordered DDPYoga! Can't wait!
Stacey Morris also has a fantastic blog; she is a brilliant and inspiring writer!
Phenomenal! I am happy for you that is so awesome and inspiring.
Very impressive. Congratulations!!
Fantastic! I love seeing pictures and reading success stories. Tremendously well done.
I too was inspired by Carnie!!!
You look great!!!
Holy smokes!You are awesome! Amazing!
Thank you so much! I too am near your starting weight and needed the aha moment here. I too ordered DDPYoga and have not started it, but you just gave me the inspiration to. Thank you! You are a gem!
awesome… you look wonderful…
You look incredable, so inspiring.
Looking Great!! You go girl
Well Done
You are awesome.
Great job you look amazing
What a wonderful story!
Wow! That's amazing!
I need to find "the workout" that works for me… no such luck yet
Why can't that happen for me
way to go!! I have pictures like that – in reverse. 🙁
Inspiring! Yoga has certainly made a difference in my life! So great to see how it transforms people inside and out! 🙂
Wow! 🙂
I thought Carnie Wilson had "Gastric Bypass" Surgery?! Not once but twice b/c she gained her weight back again~ Just not sure "what" inspired you about her since you did it on your own?
Not sure how you followed "Carnie Wilson"? She had GASTRIC BYPASS surgery! That is how she lost "HER" weight. Not once but twice. And gained it back which led her to the "2nd" surgery~
Tamara Clevenger said it all… 🙂
Congrats for all the hard work.. You deserve it!!
I'd love to lose some weight .. I had a massive stroke 2 years ago I done some exercise but not a lot.PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN
Excellent! Congrats u look amazing!
Very inspirational. Congratulations!
Great job.
Wow. You look great
Good job =)

Who: Tilda Swinton
Where: At the opening ceremony of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival for her new movie The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Wearing: A black wool tuxedo, paired with white silk chiffon ruffles and a white matte silk charmeuse man's shirt all from the Schiaparelli Haute Couture spring 2014 collection, teamed with a striking gold cocktail ring and the Schiaparelli feathered sandal flip flops as seen on the runway.
Verdict: I love, love, love Tilda Swinton, not only is she a woman who totally knows how to work a suit, but I adore how she really does beat to her own drum by wearing the most amazing and daring fashion on the red carpet.
What I love the most about this look is how she really compliments the mannish tailoring with her slouchy posture and those regal ruffles on the blouse – it makes it chic, sophisticated, and edgy all at the same time – everything you expect from Tilda.
As well as being a fan of her masculine red carpet look, I love how she softens the impact with the styling of the striking cocktail ring and her fun barrel-curl hair-do and bright red lippy and nails, it really works to tie in the whole look.
The only thing I am not so sure about has to be those feathered flip-flops, I get that they were part of the runway look, but other than the fact her feet must have been freezing – it is winter in Berlin, the quirky footwear doesn't add anything to this look for me. But on the other-hand I so appreciate that they are so Tilda, come on only she could pull off these sandals.

Default vehicle radio stations
Claiming that the default stations in GTASA are "incorrect" is questionable at best.
My approach to verifying default stations in GTASA involves reloading savegames again and again because the first radio station that you are tuned in will stick as long as you enter another vehicle quickly enough after exiting the last one. Basically I spawn a vehicle using a trainer as soon as I load a savegame, enter it, record the station it immediately plays, reload the same savegame and repeat. I also notice the exact thing when playing race modes SA:MP multiplayer games; every car seems to tune in to their own station the first time each race is loaded. I wouldn't had brought it up if I didn't have evidence, and it's certainly not present in any other GTA games with radio stations.
As for GTA4, I haven't have a proper methodology to study default radio stations there, so I'm in no position to question removals of writing on the game's radio station. - ZS 09:00, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- So should they be removed? --Chimpso 09:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- GTASA's radio stations are verified and thus the recent string of removals on that part is not acceptable. As mentioned, Those on GTA4 cannot be properly tested unless the person who added it (User:Loadingue) had employed the same methods as I did to verify default stations. It's best you ask him on his talk page how he studied the default stations. - ZS 09:22, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
But are they SERIOUSLY needed anyway. Who cares about the default radio stations when you can just change them? --Chimpso 09:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- It IS a wiki on GTA, and I trust most gaming wikis do the same. It's definitely no Wikipedia run by wikifaggots. - ZS 09:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Edit Warring & Abusive Comments
Hey there, I'm glad to see that you actually care about the quality/relevance of edits here on GTW (such users are few and far between these days), and I can definately agree that a some user's writing and grammar could use a lot of work. However, I don't think being abusive and insensitive towards them is really the best way to approach this situation. In regards to the "unnecessary/useless" edits you've been reverting, the best thing to do would be to discuss them on the appropriate article's talk pages; you may feel that what you are doing is right, but it's better to see if everyone else agrees/disagrees first. I know that may seem tedius and unnecessary, but as I said, it's better to know if you have support or not - of course, in most cases, discussion is unnecessary, such as when reverting vandalism, or reverting edits which are blatantly unnecessary. When tackling the "Myths in [game name]" articles though, you have to remember that most myths are made up and have little-to-no proof backing them, hence why they are called "myths". - Hardrock182 17:28, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Ok, sorry about that. I will keep that in mind. --Chimpso 02:22, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
In response to what you said, I think it probably would be best to categorise the preachers, tramps etc as "pedestrians", because that's pretty much what they are in the game world - personally, I consider "characters" to be people who have some sort of role in the game's storyline/missions. So, yes, you did the right thing by changing the categories. - Hardrock182 11:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for verifying that for me. --Chimpso 11:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
is a myth which means its possible that he exists you just have to find him. I had experances in the sprunk factory online and theres no bouncer in the online play. Secondly ratman is the same thing as leatherface no one found him yet you just have to look for him your self. Cause there are alot of secrets and myths that are not proven or nearly proven. Bigfoot exists you just need version one of gta san andreas he can only be found at nightime during foggy/stormy conditions. Same with leatherface. They is also a very low chance that either of them can spawn. As bigfoot only has 1/10 chance of spawning. I never found the chance that leatherface could spawn but it should be the same. This is myth information im giving you. The serial killer does exists as i got him to hit a cop as soon as the cop pulled out his gun so did the serial killer. user--Stephendwan 12:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Why do you feel the need to post such things on his page? Surely the Myths articles talk pages would be better places for such debate? Just a suggestion, I'm sure Chimpso probably isn't too pleased with comments like this on his Talk... C-d-rom 14:51, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
fine but this time chimpso don't delete the info i put in as these are called myths for a reason.
i was only messing with ye about the heart of liberty city i did actually tried to kill it. But the rest of the myths i am investigating i am called a gta myth hunter for a reason you know. user--Stephendwan 11:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
besides i love boss fights i did try and check how much bullet it takes but it has infinte health on or something. user--Stephendwan 11:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
hey check out this possible bigfoot picture it is not a mod cause its a ps2 version notice the buttons at the bottom of the screen. user--Stephendwan 12:40, 23 July 2009 (UTC) http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/profiles/63/100001763/17941c580064d12a.jpg
First of all, bigfoot dosen't exist. Rockstar said so themselves so i know you are lying. Second: STOP POSTING CRAP ABOUT MYTHS ON MY TALK PAGE! PLACE THEM ON THE MYTH TALK PAGES! I WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY FURTHER MESSAGES ABOUT MYTHS ON MY TALK PAGE! --Chimpso 02:06, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't like it when someone tells me im lying when i experance something as i know that i get strange in the game at time and i am an honest and sometimes might joke kina person this has nothing to do with myths its just to tell you that im not lying although i need someone to be skeptic. user--Stephendwan 10:03, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
it be more easer explaning to prove what i saw if i was on youtube but im to young and i need fraps and a recorder. user--Stephendwan 10:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Most people on youtube use mods and so nothing on there is any form of PROOF. --Chimpso 10:09, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
but i don't use mods i have the ps2 version which i don't even know how to mod and everyone can see its the ps2 version 1 as i got it on the same year it was release and anyways i have to fight nemesis in final fantasy x now. user--Stephendwan 10:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Im going to end this discussion. You say you have found these myths. I say; "Ok show us some proof? Do you have any pictures?" You don't reply. No Pictures! No Myth! No Writing About It In Articles Without Somone Even Hearing About It! Now PLEASE stop talking about myths on MY talk page! --Chimpso 10:14, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
RE: Helicopters?
Hey there, I agree with what you are saying. The best thing to do would be to merge all those articles with Helicopter, as that would be the most appropriate name for it. However, unfortunately, there seems to be mixed opinion about having all things of the same type in one article; some people, like you and me (among others), think that it's a good idea, while others feel the need to have hundreds of different articles if there is even so much as a minor difference between the subject in question - because of this, I recommend that you leave a message on the talk page of one of the articles, it doesn't matter which one, although Talk:Helicopter would be the most appropriate place, so we can see whether or not the majority agrees/disagrees with this idea. Hope that helps. - Hardrock182 16:45, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Ok I will do that, lets see if the community agrees. --Chimpso 23:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
You must have added the "Seriously, it's not needed" comment for a reason. Why would i care if it's not needed? Why is it serious? And 1984 isn't the early 80s, it's the mid 80s. But early 80s is best when it can be assumed. SuperTron500 10:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- By the seriously not needed comment, that was about the graphics changes of the car from VC to VCS not the date. Also I added "the early 80s" comment for a reason. I assume it came out before the events of VSC. I hope you understand. --Chimpso 10:42, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Understand what? If you mean about the seriously thing; I guess. It's not a big deal. Boasting/speculating you and your friend Thescarydude have more experience than me in Wikipedia doesn't really help things. It's best not to speculate on that kind of stuff, it wasn't even the edit i had a problem with as much as the claim of bad logic. I felt it was important to note when the car was produced. SuperTron500 10:48, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- I read your post on his talk page wrong. I'm not taking into consideration about you guys being more experienced, there's just no need. You told Thescarydude you changed "it" back to! but really you don't change anything back technically. I guess perhaps i should maybe take note and leave remarks like that whenever i have to revert another editor's unneeded info. SuperTron500 11:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe i made a mistake in thinking you guys had negative intentions, but i've changed, so i hope there's no hard feelings. What do you think of the Deluxo in general? And do you ever use it? SuperTron500 12:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- I was not boasting about us having more experience, just informing you that we know how this wiki works a bit more then you do. Anyway yes - I do use the Deluxo. Usually as a race vehicle. Also no hard feelings taken :). Keep up the good work. Chimpso Manager of Strasky and Hutch Game Wiki 12:00, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Game connections
I noticed you left the following note with your revision: Reverted edit by SuperTron500. Don't post similaritys with other games on GTW articles
I have a few problems with this. Firstly, it seems like that's a direct order from you to me. Thescarydude worked on that reference too.. Besides that, what do you mean about not noting similarities? Have you looked at some of the other articles lately? The Manhunt article and various GTA articles list connections, so by your logic they shouldn't belong either. No offence, but your comment doesn't make alot of sense to me, i fail to see your logic. SuperTron500 08:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry if that sounded like a direct order, it was ment to be a suggestion :). They shoulden't go into the vehicle articles because most people will look at it and think; "What the hell is Bully?". In my opinion as I said this it GTW not Bully wiki. (If you search Bully Wiki up you will find one). Thank you. --Chimpso 08:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- I know this is a damn GTA wiki, please stop telling me that. You don't have to specify. I also know there is Bully wiki, so no need to stress that anymore either. My point was, there are tons of non-GTA references on this site, so by that logic they should all be removed because this is a GTA wiki, not a Bully or Manhunt wiki. Thescarydude also seemed to believe the Stallion and Regina appeared in Bully, and he's a seasoned veteran, so this isn't just a newbie thing. I was somewhat encouraged by his opinion on it. SuperTron500 08:29, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yes he did know. But he did not brag about it and put it in articles, he for one knows this is GTW not Bully wiki. No Hard Feelings mate :D. --Chimpso 08:34, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Haha, the irony of that is he did actually add a Bully reference in the Diable Stallion page. I added the Diablo stallion appeared, but he changed it to a trivia section stating a black Stallion with flames appears, so it's not the same as what i wrote. The stuff about bragging is bull, sorry to say. I never bragged because i don't care all that much if they're in there. Of course there's no hard feelings, "mate" XD. SuperTron500 08:42, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well then I sincerley apoligise for saying "bragging" (jeeze your so sensitive), but anyways It is best to remind him of that too. Vehicle articles are important. Small articles that are not important can have some info on other games. But for the main articles on this wiki (vehicles included) it's to remember this: "This it GTW not Bully wiki". I respect your opinion but please respect mine as an experienced member of this wiki (no I am not bragging mister.) Thank you.
- Haha, i'm not sensitive in a funny way or anything, i just figured you were giving a newbie bit of a rough time. I respect your opinion aswell, i simply thought you meant there should be no connections at all (small articles included). Now that it's cleared up i understand. That's why i try to work things out with you guys, because you are experienced and i wish to learn more about how to work around here. SuperTron500 08:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Im glad to see this is finally over *puts down bazooka* I nearly had to finish it myself! (that was a joke) But I am glad we have come to a peacefull agreement, thats the way it should be. Regards, Chimpso 08:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Whoah, Tim. I wasn't talking about you behind your back, i just was trying to clarify because i'm trying to learn from the more experienced members like you guys and to be honest, the second i wrote to Thescarydude things in general weren't making sense (to me). You're both experienced, but when he added the trivia section i thought that was telling me it was okay, and when you got rid of it i was confused. I hope we can be friends someday. SuperTron500 09:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Who's Tim? I'm not Tim. My name is Emanuell. Anyway I forgive you for the confused bit. I was confused when I first started also. But friends? Ok that sounds good. If you ever need help with anything wiki-related ask me or (preferably) a member of Staff. Kind Regards, Chimpso 09:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Tim is the guy from the Evacuator films in the GTA universe. I thought your bazooka bit was a reference to his tendencies. As far as friends go i hope that doesn't sound bad to you, i just meant the good terms like you and Thescarydude.
I also have to agree with you, Vice City is hands down the best GTA, it was the first one i played back in 2004 and it was loads of fun. I haven't played GTA IV yet, but i still feel VC will always be my favorite, even if they wind up doing a GTA IV Era Vice City (it could happen). Were you around when VC is set? SuperTron500 09:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- No, this may come as a surprise to you, but I am only 13. So I was not around in those days. --Chimpso 09:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Wow, i was born in 1990 and i thought i'd be one of the younger editors here. I've always felt closer to VC than SA. I don't remember 1992, but i remember the 90s in general, so i didn't have quite as much fun as with exploring Vice City in the 80s. I sort of gathered i was born during a transition point where the VC feel was already transforming into the SA one.
- If you ever happen upon a DeLorean that takes you back in time let me know, i might be willing to buy it. Unless it's to expensive, at which point i'll have to steal it while being shot at by guys with red arrows hovering over their heads. SuperTron500 09:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah well, lifes a bitch, isin't it? Chimpso 09:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Haha yeah, then you die. That's why it's best to live life to its fullest. You never know when you might actually be a GTA pedestrian the protagonist decides to mow you down for fun. I don't think killing in video games is wrong, i feel it's very therapeutic and a great way to just vent. Screw Jack Thompson! GTA FOREVER!! SuperTron500 10:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hell Yeah! :) --Chimpso 10:09, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- One last question though, my friend. Did you know the Diablo Stallion and Regina references are on this site's Bully page? If you don't mind those facts staying on there i'd really like to point out the moped thing on there. SuperTron500 10:15, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, why not. Putting things like that on the official Bully page is a good idea. --Chimpso 10:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Chimpso, I'm not sure why exactly you want this stuff removed. The cars' cameo appearances in other games seems like interesting trivia to me (at least more than radio stations).--Thescarydude 10:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
In my opinion that should go into the Bully article. Chimpso 10:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Was i right to assume addind that Jimmy can be given Claude's appearance is too trivial? SuperTron500 11:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Im not sure about that as I have no experience with Jimmy (whoever he is). --Chimpso 11:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Greetings Chimpso,Sorry I haven't been on for a while but I had already created my account for GTAFF Wikia so when you're ready you can promote me (Im sorry if I sound like a rush).Cheers-User:BloodyGTA
GTA III Guy
Hi. I was wondering if i could get you opinion on something; Do you think this supposed to be Claude (the guy from GTA III) or just a look-a-like? I was wondering because even though i haven't played GTA IV i was under the impression it takes place in a different reality than the others. It's disappointing they removed some of the fun stuff for realism purposes. SuperTron500 08:25, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Responded on User:Thescarydudes talk page. Chimpso 11:31, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
- Hi SuperTron500 and Chimpso, This person really exists in the Shottler hospital. he has the similar (not exactly the same)
- clothing. the only difference is that when you get close he turnes out to be an African American Male in his 40's not close to claude.
- Thanks. Shayanshaffey 13:47, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
Re:Cleaning up
The reason I've moved them into subpages is that they were too guide-like to begin with. Forums may work since the Forum:The Helicopter Sniping Trick shows it's feasible. Moving them there should be fine, as long as the new wikilinks stay in same section. - ZS 10:21, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

I haven a question that has to do with the redirects. You said that some would be necessary such as the L.C.P.D to LCPD. Well would it be right to make a redirect page for the driving school, which would be Turning Tricks Advanced Motoring?--Gta-mysteries 21:59, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Redirects are useful for two reasons. Firstly, it's a lot easier to link to GTA London 1961 than the full game title. Sometimes we go to the extreme and have shortcuts like TLAD to make life easier for editors. Secondly, someone might search for (or link to) a title that doesn't automatically take them to the right page. For example searching for "Advanced Motoring" doesn't take you to the right page, and the search results are unhelpful, so a redirect to Driving School would be one way to fix that. However, just putting those words on the Driving School page would also work, and it's unlikely that many people would actively look fo "Turning Tricks Advanced Motoring". However L.C.P.D. is a good example because searching for that won't bring up a page on LCPD without a redirect (as we couldn't list every variation on the page). So in this case, a redirect isn't really necessary unless you think it makes life easier for someone along the way. If you think it does, then go ahead. Gboyers talk 22:33, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
- This is not a really good question to ask me right now. My computer has crashed and is getting repaired and thats why I am not on much. But I agree with Gboyers. If it makes things easier then feel free to create a redirect. Chimpso 23:02, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Weapon Ammo
Actually there is a major difference between a magazine and a clip. Unfortunately man people get this confused do to many TV shows, movies, and video games incorrectly referring them to "clips". CujoTwoOne 07:42, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
The best way is just to show you, go to google images and search for "clip vs magazine". A weapon that uses a magazine cannot use a clip, and a weapon that uses a clip cannot use a magazine. CujoTwoOne 07:46, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
Victor Vance talk page
There is no need to protect the page. People will continue to ask that question and the talk page is the best place for it, as they are simply wanting to confirm that Victor Vance was the one killed and to check the articles validity. Besides, there is no discussion now about whether it was Victor. A-Dust 23:19, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
I'm trying to get PlayStation Network on my PS3, but I don't know how, and I was wondering if you could help me. I would really appreciate it. Thanks--Gta-mysteries 03:55, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Nominated for Promotion
Hi Chimpso. Your self-nomination for promotion to Staff has been accepted. Please answer the questions on GTA Wiki:Promotion/Chimpso. Good luck - Gboyers talk 22:36, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
- Congratulations, you have been promoted directly to administrator. You can now use {{Admin}} and {{Userbox:Admin}}, and perform the admin-related Tasks. I also suggest you use {{user:gboyers/links}}. I don't expect you to be able to use all the tools straightaway, so please ask me if you'd like em to explain something, show you how something works, or tell you how we expect Admins to act. Congratulations again - Gboyers talk 09:29, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
- This has come to me as a total surprise although I have to say that it is a welcome one. I had a feeling that I was going to be promoted but I never guessed a direct Admin promotion. Thank you Gboyers, I am looking forward to my new role here on GTW :) .Chimpso 09:33, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Bord called me a bitchy twice, a despicable human being, and man other things ( I'll get a link later). and I call him a SOB and an asshole and I get blocked for 5 days on BF wiki, and he gets nothing, fair, don't you think so? Peter Griffen Boy 05:06, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
I figured I had to block him. I hope it was the right choice. Do you think it was because you can see everything that needs to be seen here. --Gta-mysteries 05:14, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
I though about the final warning as well but I kept telling him swearing is not the way to go but he ignored. I guess the cod, and bf wiki Admin wasn't even part of the IRC chat. But it should stop the argument.--Gta-mysteries 05:22, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
Now that I think about it, I think I'll lift the block for a final warning.--Gta-mysteries 05:26, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
hello there
i just want to say all i said is truth
Shark is 100% true,i saw it before(even in Vice city).well,nothing special. Of course you can't see it all time,i just saw one time,but it act just like dolphin,touch it and runaway
about UFO
it happen when i play on ps2 version, i was take Dennis to dance club(in LS).i drive her to a entrance of dance club. there was two ped talking,i don't care what they say.but when i get in a yellow point(point get inside the club),one of the ped say :" yesterday an UFO(or alien,i don't remember) attack my car".i just can hear that but too late,CJ get inside a dance club.when i get out,they're gone(srcipt problem)
trust me,i already saw them
about CJ ghost mom,yes,there was a clip on you tube long time ago,but it was delete
p/s: even you won't believe shark is true,so i ask you one question:
in the real life,do you ALWAYS see a shark swim in a nearby sea?
- Hey, there is a logical explanation for what you said above.
1. Sharks do exist in Vice City, however they do not attack the player as the player drowns when they enter the water. They don't exist in San Andreas, they are just dolphins.
2. Did I remove the UFO thing? Sorry if I did you can re-add that.
3. We can't just have a hundred people saying that "This movie on youtube..." or "This guy said..." on the myths page, otherwise it would be the largest page on the wiki. Basically if there is no solid proof of the fact that you have presented then it should not be on the page. YOu said that the movie had been deleted, thus no evidence and so no proof.
I hope you understand why I removed these and no hard feelings :). Chimpso (Talk) 11:57, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
but you got to trust me there is already a shark in GTA SA and i saw it in my own eye.
if you don't trust me,you should find out yourself :) .i find them while i'm practice swiming(for a mission by Wuzimu).i find them near SF dock if i not wrong.
BTW.i will readd a UFO information
How come I can't say the Window Washing Platform is not a vehicle but the health pack and body armor are weapons?????? Saintsrow2fan95 08:37, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
I'm not the one who said they were weapons, have a look at Weapons in GTA IV
How come the Elavator and Window Washing Platform are not vehicles but the Subway and Sky Car are? Saintsrow2fan95 09:36, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
Have you checked Weapons in Grand Theft Auto IV about the Health Pack and Body Armor yet?
I'm talking about the weapon icons at the top of the page, the only reason I added thos edits is because of the weapon icons, so it made sense.
Can I please add the stationary planes in Francis International Airport to the list of vehicles in GTA IV
How come is the Airtrain and the Andromada are on the list of aircraft?
Who thought that a Window Cleaning Platform could cause all of this
ok then
Have you read my GTA 5 wishlist sugestions (very close to the bottom)
Thanks for fixing the "problem" I made.
The Jetpack is a vehicle in the Offical Strategy Guide and both the Parachute and the Jetpack can be exited using either Y or /\. They are more of a vehicle than the Tram is. Can you please stop deleting my pages.
Hey. I saw your edit on Wade Johnson. Quick note (in case you don't know); don't forget to alphabetize character articles when categorizing the article. To do this, click on what looks like two arrows on the category bar thing. In the space below where it says "Alphabetize this article on the "_____" category page under the name:", put the surname, then a comma, then the first name. To be a bit more clear, look at the latest revision I made on Wade Johnson. Thanks. Masterpogihaha 06:57, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
I made that page about the dog because I want some feedback about my suggestions on the GTA 5 wishlist
And how come did you take the brick off weapons in GTA 4
GTA IV Vehicle Problem
Hey Chimpso would you consider the skycar and subway train Vehicles? Saintsrow2fan95 just made an edit to Vehicles in GTA IV. I am not snitching on him or anything I just happen to read his talk page and I saw how you were having problems with him. --GTA4LIFE 04:20, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Everything is sorted out now, could you also please make sure that you put your comment at the bottom of the talk page. I did not know you had even commented here until I looked up the top. Thanks. Chimpso (Talk) 09:11, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for that, and I hope you find good use of the template. --Gta-mysteries Talk 02:43, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
- [edited] 2 weeks was a good length for the original block (for adding false info). However, the multiple account should be permanently blocked, and the original account could have a longer block for breaking a very serious rule (abusing multiple accounts). Problem is, if they care enough to circumvent the block once, they'll do it again - so I'd say 3 months minimum. I re-blocked the 2010 account, but left the original one at two weeks (since he didn't seem to be a spammer?). Gboyers talk 08:15, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
- I edited my above response. With regards to blocking IPs, when you block a user you can see "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from". You should definitely do this with spammers (as you don't want them ever to come back). But with multiple accounts, if you have the main user on a short block and then permanently block the duplicate accounts, be careful not to block the IP infinitely (as that would block the main account too). A-Dust and I have an additional function where we can look at the IPs used by every user, and see if any other user has used the same IP. This is how we find duplicate accounts, but it's a heavily restricted function (given by Wikia, not us). Gboyers talk 08:27, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
Why did you remove my wanted vehicles. Gtaunited 09:44, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
What Pictures and what is so bad about the headings?
You can't say that most DS games are G/PG rated without mentioning all of the little kids games on the PS2.
The only reason the DS has G/PG games is because the PSP took over in 2005
What about Resident Evil Deadly Silence, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, Call of Duty World at War, Call of Duty Modern Warfare Mobilized, Smackdown vs Raw 2008, Smackdown vs Raw 2009, Smackdown vs Raw 2010 etc
mirkYou said all the games will be G/PG except GTA Chinatown Wars which will be MA not most
So can I remove the children statement from the Chinatown Wars Article
Can I make a table be made of the combined pages of vehicles in GTA IV, vehicles in GTA Lost & Dammed & GTA Ballad of Gay Tony
But I would like to see them combined in table form, it could be called Vehicles in the GTA IV Era
Before you delete Vehicles in the GTA IV Era, it consist of GTA 4, TBOGT & TLAD
YOU SAID everything has to be listed there when I asked to create the article
Why did you delete the Liberty City Subway, Police Maverick, Bulletproof Patriot, Bulletproof Infernus and Bulletproof Hellenbach from the list of vehicles in Chinatow Wars?
Gtaunited 03:44, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
The Airtrain on list of fixed wing aircraft is static and so is the Tram in the list of vehicles in GTA San Andreas.
How come you can make an article about Special Vehicles in GTA IV and I can't make Vehicles in the GTA IV Era (vehicles in GTA IV, TLAD, TBOGT
Why don't you delete the Special Vehicles in GTA IV page then?
How come you delete a page that is requested by numerous users on the talk page of vehicles in GTA IV but you don't delete Special Vehicles in GTA IV which is nearly the same as Vehicles in GTA IV?
Yeah, but shouldn't the same apply for Unique Vehicles in GTA IV?
There are numerous request for the inclusion of the DLC vehicles in table form.
Another Reason I created the page was for people with slow computer so they didn't have yo keep swithcing between articles and wating for them to load
If I didn't know any better, I would say that you love deleting things Gtaunited 06:58, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
Hey why did u delete the glitch city there is proof that it is a glitch there is more that one video one youtube.
Thats fine with me and i didnt notice the ghost town page sorry if i posted it on the glitch page
No there diffrent the compound im reffering to is onne in the middle of the ocean its made out of wood and its in the mission steal the deal and in gta vice city it contains a hidden package but you have to get to it with a helicopter
Hello, yesterday I wanted to edit the part "San Fierro Missions" because says "There are 27 story missions in San Fierro", but only listed 26 missions, so that is the contradiction, "Jizzy" are two mission or one mission divided into two parts in that ultimate case you have to only change "There are 27 story missions in San Fierro" to "There are 26 story missions in San Fierro". Do you understand me what I am traying to say you?? sorry for my bad english. Javier Martínez from Argentina
Yea Jizzy would Be 1 mission
- I think it would be a good idea (already had one here). Using that map would mean we could go into detail, so yeah I'd help. --Gta-mysteries Talk 01:16, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
In the Vehicles in GTA: San Andreas page it says that this is a complete list of vehicles that can be driven, ridden or controlled in GTA San Andreas, so why is the Tram included?

GTA San ANdreas Missions
Hello I think that the Mission means is to do something and in san andreas there are "7 missions" that you don't do anything, only look and listen, not progress made %, do you understand me what i am trying to say you? {{SUBST:Usuario:Javitomz/Firma 2}} 12:12, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
OK, what ever yo say.. but after King in Exile, for example, does`t appear "mission passed!" the same for the other ones First Date, Base, Gone Countring Made in Heaven an Fish in a Barrel, and when you pass Sweet & Kendl the progress made says 0,53%, that means that was for that mission, not for "Big Smoke mission".

Stop talking down to me like i am 5 yrs old. U think u own the thing just cause u are an administrator. I deleted that stuff on MY talk page because it was old, why can i not delete it, it is my talk talk page not yours. I have not blanked anything on the rest of the wiki, and im not involved in any kind of edit war, i try to correct and tidy things up on the wiki just as much as u do
Hello i am pretty new here but there is this page (Endings in GTA IV) on that page it talks about which ending was canon me and this other user have been edit warring on it and we have come to a conclusion..it should be deleted...it is not only causing problems for me and this person but Endings in GTA IV is about the outcome of each ending not about which was canon. I think it should be removed since it does nothing but cause problems. You think you could delete it, i am just a user and i'm pretty sure that's not up to me. We have not come to a conclusion, it should not bedeleted, it is just a few clues, it is not vandalism, but this GTAFAN is adding things to it that are not really reasons, he just wishes that his version of events was right and he is putting rubbish stuff on there that doesn't make sense.
Hipogryt Warning
How Come the Airtrain is a vheicle but the Boeing 747 is not?
How come the Tram is a vehicle but the Window Cleaning Platform is not?
How Come the Health Pack and Body Armour are weapons but the brick is not?
Final Warning
It was just speculation. I did not say that one of them was canon or not. It was just a few hints to get people thinking. Edit war nowher near hundred edits dont over exagerate. When and where did we abuse other users...oh yeah nowhere. Getr ur facts straight. We were debating on his talk page not arguing. Ok, i understand, just get rid of that bit because here is no proof for either and to stop people potentially arguing about it, but it wasn't a problem until he started editing it to his biased satifaction.

RE: Tram
In Saints Row 2 the train can be targetd with a heatseeking RPG, destryed and covered with Poo Just like a normal Vehicle, However, Saints Row 2 Wikidoes not define it as a vehicle because it can not be entered.
Type in Saints Row 2 Vehivles into Google, Click on the first one down and take a look.
Vehicles should only be considered vehicles if they can be entered and controlled.

Hey. You are right that we need another administrator to take on the CheckUser role from A-Dust. However, Wikia have the final decision on this due to the sensitive/private nature of users' IP addresses. I will look into this and get back to you shortly. I'm still around so just let me know if you need me to check anything - I should be more active again in a few weeks.

The overclocking potential is good. We managed to push the GPU 130MHz over the reference clocks (by increasing the voltege by available +0.037V) and let's not forget about factory overclock, either. The memory also produced good results with a total 200MHz (effective 800MHz) overclock.
The cooler is now more important than ever, due to Boost 2.0 throttling and dynamic thermal management. Had it not been for the Phantom cooler, we probably would see a 8-percent performance boost.

The method, developed by Katy Margulis-Goshen, a Ph.D. student of Prof. Shlomo Magdassi, produces a rapid conversion of oil-in-water microemulsions, containing an insoluble substance, into a dry powder composed of nanoparticles which can easily be dissolved in water or other biological fluids.
For her work, Marguis-Goshen, who immigrated to Israel from the Ukraine in 1990, was chosen as one of the winners of this year's Kaye Innovation Awards at the university.
The process she developed is of unique industrial importance, since it leads to a significant increase in solubility and dissolution properties of almost any active ingredient, without a high energy investment.
Enhancing such solubility is especially important in the field of pharmaceutics, where nearly 50% of the newly discovered drugs cannot be administered or are very poorly absorbed due to their low solubility. Increasing solubility is also important in the field of agriculture, since the majority of insecticides are highly hydrophobic (resistant to mixing with water), and their regular application therefore requires the use of organic solvents, which are harmful to the farmer and the environment.
In cosmetics, active cosmetic ingredients for dermal delivery are usually also water resistant, so that incorporating them into non-greasy, water-based formulations is of great importance.
The new process invented by Margulis-Goshen can be also applied in many other fields, such as nutrition and the manufacture of printing ink and paint.
If the active ingredient, for example, is a water-resistant drug, the powder developed in her method may be injected or incorporated into capsules, tablets and other fast-dissolving drug formulations. Such dosage forms have shown a tremendous increase in dissolution rate in water and biological fluids. They are expected to improve bioavailability of the drug, minimize its side effects by reducing the total dose needed, and allow drug targeting. A very significant improvement in drug dissolution has been shown in this way in tests with three drugs.
Similar beneficial results have been shown in applying the invention to the conversion of hydrophobic pesticides into a powder, allowing a reduction of at least six times in the effective concentration of the pesticide with utilization of water instead of organic solvents as the dispersing medium. In cosmetics, the powder containing active cosmetic ingredient may be incorporated into new, stable, water-based formulations.

|Mako from the first Conan flick.
...It is generally accepted as the rule that air power made battleships obsolete in WW2. The US and British Navy kept their battleships in safe harbors until air superiority was established. Now, some say aircraft carriers are obsolete because of submarines and anit-ship weapons like the Chinese DF-21, a ballistic missile with 900 miles of range and attacks from above with incoming meteorite speed. It doesn't even have an explosive warhead, just a concrete slug! Small missile launchers are the new awesome as far as naval power goes.
How well do the rules for your game hold up to this modern situation? Do squadrons of fighters and torpedo attacks have the same devastating effects? ...
I know you're concentrating on speed and fun with workable rules being the desired outcome but have you found that fighters and missile attacks are the way to go?Any resemblance between Fleet Captain and modern naval warfare is purely coincidental. There's got to be fighter rules in Fleet Captain simply because Star Wars is fighter heavy. However, they can't be quite as awesome or important as in Star Wars, because original Star Trek is another heavy influence. So try imagining the Battle of Jutland involving a few biplane-launching carriers and you get the vibe I'm going for. I want to have bigass anti-ship missiles as well, simply because I want the possibility of launching a missile and striking a friendly vessel by accident. But big, dumb, slow capital ships exchanging wildly inaccruate laser cannon barrages will still be the focus of the game.

Beginning tonight, September 7th, Armored Gopher Games will be hosting D&D Encounters on a weekly basis. The sessions will be run by Eric Bohm, and promise to be a lot of fun!
Seating is limited, be here early. Game time is 6:30PM. Enjoy!
Dave @ Armored Gopher GamesTonight also happens to be the night I'm resuming running D&D at the Gopher. Six sessions seemed like a sufficient amount of Boot Hill and I wanted to give my FLAILSNAILS players some competition, so I'm sending whoever shows up for my game into the Caves of Myrddin. It's not the first time I've GM'ed when another game was going down on the other side of the store, but it'll be the first time that other game was also called Dungeons & Dragons.
[D]o the dice all have to be of different sizes? Can you have something like d6/d4/d4 or d12/d6/d6? How about something like d6/d4+1/d4?
Otherwise, you only have 3 different types of ship. What say you?

During the week, you know our life is no mystery: we are here working hard to make you happier and your horse healthier. But what do we do on the weekend, you ask? The mystery is revealed! Read about what SmartPakers did this past week and see if any of our adventures sound similar to yours…
"Fellow SmartPaker, Michelle, and I took our horses out to our favorite haunt at Borderland State Park – first time since the Fall! Both horses pretended they had never seen the same old bridge before, but we made it out and back in one piece. Can't wait for more warm weather and trails!" – Elizabeth, Customer Care
"Hale has been on stall rest but we spent some time hand walking out in the sun this weekend! We still have a long road to recovery ahead of us but the extra grooming and bonding has been wonderful. He is being a very good patient but stall time is hard and I'm perfecting the art of keeping a bored draft horse entertained! So far his favorite thing is treat feeding time while I'm cold hosing and wrapping his legs :)" – Martha, Customer Care
"Last weekend, I went to visit my good friend Kelsey in North Carolina. We did a ton of riding (I jumped for the first time in over a year) and went to the Southern Pines Horse Trails! The bravery of both the horses and riders on the cross country course never ceases to amaze me. This weekend, I went home to New Jersey for Easter. It was so great to see family, friends, and my dog Bentley!" – Katlyn, Marketing
"This weekend I took my dog, Morgan, for a short hike around the lake near my house. I also celebrated Easter with my family, and my cousins and I sipped 'Peeptinis' while the kids hunted for Easter eggs. Afterwards, I played with my pony, and she had a case of what I like to call "the spring sillies"—she was bucking and rearing at the end of the lunge line! My typically trusty mare goes through a couple weeks of not-acting-her-age each year at the end of winter, and I guess this year is no exception! I did ride after lunging, and it was mostly without incident, which was very generous of her." – Emily, Accounting
"What a great weekend! In addition to spending a nice Easter with my husband, I was able to spend some time at the barn, and walking my dog, Rose, in the (very warm) Florida sunshine. I had a great lesson with Rohan on Satruday, and got to spend some quiet time at the barn on Sunday as well. Rohan is my friend and instructor's horse, and he's definitely teaching me a lot! Plus, he's just as sweet as he looks in his picture. :)" – Jennifer, Customer Care
"On November 1, 2002, my mom and I adopted a darling black Lab mix from Puerto Rico, originally called Negri. We changed her name to Lola, and in August of 2003 we were fortunate enough to meet her rescuer, flown up from Puerto Rico by the shelter she was in here in Massachusetts. Easter Sunday 2013, I got to reconnect with Aidita, almost 10 years later! It was a complete surprise, partially fabricated by my dad. We talked for three hours (THREE!) about the rescue program, and how Lola is doing now as a 14 year old senior lady! I was also able to learn things about Lola's past that we weren't told when we first adopted her, and how we truly saved her life. Luckily for us, Aidita now lives in New York, and we're hoping to reunite her and Lola super soon; I'm so lucky and blessed to have made a lifelong friend, and will ABSOLUTELY adopt another dog from Puerto Rico again!" – Kristin, Creative
"Wow, what a weekend! I went home to Pennsylvania for an extended Easter weekend, and it was great to be home and see my family, and they were happy to see me, too (dogs included!). And after a long, snowy winter, I finally got back in the saddle! I took advantage of the beautiful, 60-and-sunny weather on Saturday and got a riding lesson from my old trainer on one of her new training horses, a four-year-old Clydesdale cross named Rory. To make a long story short, I'm IN LOVE! We were instant friends, and he has a heart of gold (and so comfortable to ride!). Aside from having to really remember to steer (he's still working on that) you'd never know he was only four, and he was a perfect gentleman. We had a great lesson, and I'm already planning my next trip home so I can see his adorable face. But can you blame me?" – Lindsay, Creative
"This weekend I was able to spend some time with my muddy horse Bug on Friday night. Saturday morning I headed back home to CT to visit my family and help prepare for Easter. On Sunday we had a holiday brunch with my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles! It was a wonderful weekend!" – Marisa, Customer Care
"I just enjoyed a three day weekend back home in CT for the Easter holiday. It's always nice to relax at home, see friends and family, and eat lots of great food (and candy)! My parent's dogs were thrilled to be the Easter bunnies this year as you can tell by the looks on their faces, but they did get their own Easter basket in return! I always look forward to our annual Easter Egg Hunt despite the youngest of us being 19 years old these days. :)" – Paige, Customer Care
"I recently went to visit my friend Caitlin in Connecticut for a very horse-filled weekend! Saturday and Sunday had us at Horseshoe Hill Equestrian Center in Durham grooming, riding, and spoiling her four adorable horses, Celtic, Cal, Benjamin, and Bearcat. I also had a chance to hop on her friend's enormous hunter/jumper, Cliff, for a bit who made me feel like an Olympic rider with his push-button lead changes! Caitlin's dog, Finnegan, also joined in the fun and spent his weekend monitoring the barn for any dropped treats or cookies. I was definitely wiped out on Monday morning from all the riding, but it was absolutely worth it!" – Megan, Customer Care
This is the most comfortable and stylish coat I've ever owned. It is incredibly stretchy, breathable and flattering. The lightweight fabric is impeccably tailored and looks as good on as a fine Italian suit jacket. The hidden zipper is really neat because the buttons don't gap and it provides a more slimming look. I'm slightly (ok, completely!) obsessed."
"I went to my first one-day horse show of the year with my horse Cooper. It was great to get the first show under our belt and also to know what we needed to work on before our next show this coming weekend. Cooper was a good boy and we even came home with a blue ribbon! The other first, was that it was the first time I got to wear my new RJ Classics Washington Xtreme Soft Shell Show Coat.
"On Saturday I was up as soon as the sun came up to go for my first real Spring ride on my horse. The cold winter weather finally broke and I hit the trails with my gelding, Rocki. In addition to getting my horse fix in, I also had the chance to start on my newly found passion for gardening. My husband and I spent Saturday afternoon tilling the garden to get it ready to plant (OK, he actually did the tilling but I was a good supervisor 🙂 ). In 2-3 months I will be a vegetable canning machine!" – Ashley, Customer Care
"My weekend was GREAT! I spent this weekend in New Jersey. Saturday was a very big day so of course I started it off right with the world's best breakfast sandwich (Taylor ham and cheese on a New Jersey bagel!). After that, SmartPaker Kaitlyn and I went to pick up my new car at the dealership. It was bitter-sweet trading in my Toyota Corolla that toted me around for the last few years, but it was about time! Apparently it's an Italian tradition to throw change in the car for good luck. Have you ever heard of that?! Anyway, now I have a bunch of coins scattered all over the place that can only be used in dire emergency. That night we went to an Armin van Buuren concert at Madison Square Garden which was also a new experience for me. Sunday was filled with family, friends, and food making it a great ending to the weekend." – Courtney, Customer Care
"This weekend, marked my first Easter celebration in Massachusetts. I lucked out and got to spend it with my awesome new roommates. We went to their family farm where we walked through the woods and saw some adorable goats. Later in the day, I made a strawberry cake and some other delicious things for dinner. And to top it off my boyfriend sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, too! The only thing missing was going for a ride." – Jessica, Customer Care
"I spent Easter Weekend visiting with family up in Vermont, and we went out to my relatives' sugarhouse (where maple syrup is made)! I used to venture out every year when I was a kid, but haven't been able to time it right the past few Springs, so spending time there over the weekend brought back a lot of great memories. There's nothing like visiting with family while sampling warm, fresh maple syrup!" – Carrie, Creative

Patterns of illness among children in the United States and other industrially developed nations have changed substantially during the past 100 years. Before and during the first half of the previous century, infectious diseases were the primary threat to children s health. In contrast, the major illnesses and disorders that impair health, growth, and development today are chronic conditions stemming from the complex interaction of environmental exposures and inherent genetic factors. The Children s Health Act of 2000 directed the National Institute of Child Health and Development to conduct a national longitudinal study of environmental influences on children s health in the United States. The act specified that the study extend from the prenatal period to adulthood and investigate the short-term and long-term influences of physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial environmental exposures on children s health and development, including behavioral, emotional, and educational outcomes in addition to physical health. The National Children s Study (NCS) is an observational longitudinal study that will enroll and follow a nationally representative sample of approximately 100,000 U.S.-born children from before birth through their 21st birthday. The study will screen all households within selected areas of 105 locations (primarily counties).
The major types of analysis of NCS data will include longitudinal exposure-outcome analysis, identification of causal pathways, analysis of neighborhood effects, evaluation of temporal effects within longitudinal data analysis of data from case-control data, and analysis of genomic data.
Women in their first trimester of pregnancy will be invited to participate in the pre-pregnancy portion of the NCS. Women who are not pregnant but have a high probability of becoming pregnant will be asked to participate in the early pregnancy portion of the NCS. All other eligible women will be asked if the study can contact them periodically to assess their pregnancy status. They also will be asked to contact the NCS should they become pregnant. Women identified as pregnant within 4 years after initial screening will be invited to enroll in the NCS.
The following information will be gathered:
Mother s data and information
- Questionnaire data interviewed and self-administered (e.g., demographics; current pregnancy history; reproductive history; medical conditions; health behaviors; doctor visits; medicines and supplements; housing characteristics; pesticides, product use; occupation, hobbies; depression, stress; social support; diet; time and activity)
- Physical measures and clinical data (e.g., blood pressure, sonograms, height, weight, body measurements)
- Biologic specimens (e.g., blood, urine, hair, saliva)
- Environmental samples during home visits (e.g., dust, air, water)
- Medical record abstraction
Infant s data and information at birth
- Cord blood and tissue samples of the placenta and umbilical cord
- Standardized neurobehavioral exam
- Physical measures and clinical data (e.g., length; weight; circumferences of head, arm, abdomen, thigh)
- Meconium samples
- Medical diagnoses and treatment by report
- Selected Medical record abstraction
|Condition or disease
|Infant Child Development Biological Samples
The National Children s Study (NCS) is a planned, observational, and longitudinal study that will enroll and follow a national sample of approximately 100,000 children born in the United States (US) to participating women from before birth through the child s 21st birthday. The goal of the NCS is to provide information that will ultimately lead to improvements in the health, development, and well-being of children. The primary aim of the NCS is to investigate the separate and combined effects of environmental exposures (chemical, biological, physical, and psychosocial) as well as gene-environment interactions on pregnancy outcomes, child health and development, and precursors of adult disease. In-person contacts with the NCS participants include visits during pregnancy, after delivery, and throughout infancy and childhood at the participant s home and sometimes in a clinical setting. The collection of biospecimens, environmental samples, and physical measures is involved in addition to the examination of the infant and periodic contacts with the family. In addition, interim phone interviews regularly occur with in-person contacts. The NCS consists of the NCS Vanguard Study with any sub-studies and the NCS Main Study with any sub-studies. The Vanguard Study is the precursor to the Main Study.
The NCS Vanguard Study is designed and implemented to determine the feasibility, acceptability and cost of the elements that will form the Main Study. The Vanguard Study enrolls participants at forty Study locations and will have a planned duration of 21 years following completion of enrollment. The Vanguard Study will precede the Main Study on an ongoing basis to pilot all aspects of the Main Study. The specific objectives of the Vanguard Study are:
- Evaluation of recruitment, enrollment and retention strategies
- Evaluation of study logistics and operations including sites and mechanisms of data acquisition, collection, transport and storage of environmental and biological samples, and design and performance of information systems
- Evaluation of study visit assessments for feasibility, acceptability, reliability, reproducibility, cost, value, stability, and redundancy with other assessments
Families who participate in the NCS will come from forty Study locations across the US. Study visit assessments are the tests, environmental samples, biospecimens, questionnaires and other forms of data acquisition that are scheduled at the study visits. The evaluation of the Vanguard Study will be based on a series of targeted and specific statistical techniques and tests selected for each evaluation. Multiple performance measures will be used to inform the scope, design, visit structure and schedule, mechanisms and procedures, and analysis plan for the Main Study.

Let's Be Realistic, Mr. Finance Minister
Here's a piece of advice to Indian Finance Minister P. Chidambaram ahead of his federal budget presentation Thursday: Don't promise more than you can deliver.
A glance through recent budgets reveals the government has more often than not fallen short of projections.
Take India's economic growth. Presenting the budget in February 2011, Mr. Chidambaram's predecessor Pranab Mukherjee forecast growth as high as 9% in the year through March 2012, perhaps even touching 10% in the "not-too-distant future." In the end, the economy grew just 6.2%, the slowest in a decade.
It will worsen this year through March. Earlier this month, the government's statistics wing put growth at just 5.0%, far short of the 7.6% estimate made in the last budget.
The fiscal deficit target is another important indicator under the spotlight.
Last year, the deficit exceeded the target of 4.6% of gross domestic product by a whopping 1.1 percentage points. This year, the government has already raised the aim to 5.3% from 5.1% estimated in the budget. High subsidies have put pressure on government finances.
There are still doubts about the revised target. Although Mr. Chidambaram has slammed the brakes on spending and cut subsidies, many economists believe the deficit could settle at much higher levels of about 5.7%.
One way for New Delhi to bridge the fiscal gap is to sell stakes in state-run companies. But in the past two years, the proceeds raised from such sales have fallen 44% and 65% short of the 400 billion rupees targeted in budgets.
Disinvestment Secretary Ravi Mathur has conceded that the 300 billion rupees budget aim for this year won't be reached. The government is instead hoping for a more realistic 270 billion rupees, a revenue shortfall of 10%.
The government's recent promise to stick to targets has raised expectations that it will be more fiscally prudent. But there will be pressure to hand out subsidies in the run-up to several state and federal elections due by mid-2014.
Keeping that in mind, Mr. Chidambaram would do well to lay out achievable targets. They may disappoint initially but should eventually lead to sustained fiscal correction and improve the credibility of the promises made in the budget.

Emily Maye was in a fantasy cycling league before she really fell in love with the sport. (Yes, there is such a thing, just like in football.) But at Stage 13 of the 2009 Tour de France it hit her. Heinrich Haussler had won the stage in a downpour and as he crossed the finish line he put his hands over his face in a show of emotion. She was hooked.
Most people had never heard of Haussler, but because of the league that she was in with her dad and his friends, Maye was paying attention. She knew Haussler usually served as leadout man for Thor Hushovd and that it was his first career Tour de France stage win. He was four minutes in front of the next rider and had been in the lead for 195 grueling kilometers (video below).
"It was quite a romantic visual," says Maye, who is based in Los Angeles. "He was not going to be a contender [in the overall tour] but to him that stage was the culmination of everything he had worked for."
At that same time, Maye had also become enamored with old bicycle racing photos like those made by Robert Capa at the 1939 Tour de France. She loved the timeless feel of the pictures — the way Capa captured the atmosphere of the event instead of just the action — and wanted to find a way to recreate that approach.
Her first chance came when she secured a press pass by herself to the 2011 Tour of California and shot four stages. With Capa and others floating around in the back of her head, she did what he did and mostly ignored the obvious action and turned her camera on the behind-the-scenes and in-between moments–sometimes simply making graphical observations.
"I wanted to show people something they wouldn't be able to see by just freeze-framing the TV footage," she says.
It was a risk. She often worried that she had strayed too far from the mainstream bike photography images. But back home, scanning through the work, it was clear she'd made the right decision.
One photo in particular stood out. It was a photo of a post-race and shirtless Tejay van Garderen, who at the time was relatively unknown, but is now a rising star having just won the best young rider White Jersey at the 2012 Tour de France. In the photo van Garderen stands exhausted, showing a stark farmer tan. It's a quiet moment, but revealing–a window into how much these races leave a mark, literally, on the riders' bodies.
"I was particularly drawn to the look on his face, it seemed so inwardly reflective," Maye says. "He's almost in a trance."
For the last year and a half Maye has been pumping out incredible work, with both editorial and commercial clients latching onto her distinct style. Over that time she's continued to push the envelope of how she sees, giving her audience a creative look at a sport that many of us know nothing about.
Maye has been rewarded with a few dream assignments, like a commercial shoot on Spain's Mallorca island of Team Sky wearing Rapha gear. (For the uninitiated, Rapha is like the Gucci of bike gear, and Team Sky is the most important road-racing team in the world right now because their rider, Bradley Wiggins, won the 2012 Tour de France.)
Before Mallorca she had been in Portugal on a shoot for Specialized, another huge brand.
"It's been a wonderful year and a half since I started," she says. "I wouldn't have imagined that it would go this way."
Maye says she's obviously aware of the black cloud of drugs hanging over cycling at the moment so she's trying to take the long view in her work. She doesn't deny drugs are a problem, but also argues that it's a big sport and there are still plenty of people out there working hard to move cycling forward.
"There is more to the sport than doping," she says.
Next Maye plans to get embedded with a road-racing team for one of the major races. She wants to have access to everything—from breakfast, to pillow time—but knows that's a tall order because the teams are notoriously private.
"That would be the ultimate, ultimate," she says.

Man charged in home burglary, car break-ins in Stokes County
Officers with the Stokes County Sheriff's Office arrested a Westfield man Tuesday after investigating a burglary report in Madison.
According to a report from the Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to a reported burglary in progress at 4055 NC Highway 772 in the Madison area around 5:03 a.m. Tuesday morning. Officers observed a white male walking near the scene. He has been identified as Christopher Michael Martin, 20, of 1035 Tomahawk Road, Westfield.
The residents reported that they were in bed when the wife saw a flashlight coming up the stairs, and she woke her husband up. They said he started yelling at the intruder, but the intruder did not leave until the husband jumped out of the bed and started toward him. The residents said the intruder then ran back down the stairs and out of the residence. They reported that their three cars had been broken into.
Deputies and detectives were able to find evidence at the residence that pointed to Martin, according to the report. Martin was later arrested and charged with felony first-degree burglary, three counts felony breaking and entering a motor vehicle, three counts misdemeanor larceny and three counts misdemeanor possession of stolen property. Bond is $150,000 secured.
Sheriff Mike Marshall stated in a news release: "Our officers worked very good together putting this case in order. Team work always has a positive outcome. We will continue to work hard to arrest people who victimize our citizens like this."
