As we said, the results of our Readers' Choice poll are undiluted. Some readers, however, wrote in establishments outside of Southeast Baltimore, toward Dundalk and beyond. The sheer popularity of some of these spots make them worth mentioning (and trying). In no particular order:
- Boulevard Diner, though built in 2001, has mastered the retro look and fantastic food.
- Geresbeck's Food Market is a Baltimore County institution known for its exceptional bakery,
- Pizza John's of Essex received many, many votes, and is known from miles around.
- Al's Seafood is an old-school crab and seafood joint with a sterling reputation.
- By the Docks, in Middle River, is another can't-miss seafood establishment with a waterfront location.
- Salty Dog's Crab House is another top crab place to try in Dundalk.
- Costas Inn is known for spectacular crab cakes and is also a favorite for steamed crabs.
- Squire's Italian Restaurant in Dundalk, offers a family-friendly experience, Italian style. And catering, too.
- Sunset Cove has a menu that offers all the favorites, plus an unbeatable location.
- Herman's Bakery, now in Dundalk, is another great cake, pastry and donut producer with roots in Highlandtown.
As great as Southeast Baltimore is, we hope we've given you some good reasons to leave for an afternoon or evening!

Shinkenchiku brings you an exclusive inside tour of the contemporary House NA, designed by Sou Fujimoto Architects. Thin, steel poles delicately support the transparent "pile of boxes" at varying heights. In an interview conducted by F.W. Monocle, Sou Fujimoto explains, "In one way the house is like a single space, but each room is also a tiny space of its own. The clients said they wanted to live like nomads within the house – they didn't have specific plans for each room. The house looks radical but for the clients it seemed quite natural."

Can someone explain the HVAC and environment in that area? I'd like to know. Very nice project though!
nice party-house)))…
this one turns over the idea that house should has strong structure…0
great house.! there is some talk about HVAC with that said
Why is it everyone is dressed in synthetic clothing ultra thin fabric and it gets worse by the year.. to hell with HVAC buy warmer clothing of quality . then you can even go for a walk outside.
Japanese houses are historically known to be poorly insulated not abnormal. nor will it grow mold.
it comes down to this buy warmer clothing when its winter.+1
The concept is really, really good. But this is going to be an oven in summer and a freezer in winter.
First condition of architecture is weather protection. I can't just explain why fujimoto, who writes about future primitivism, ignores this (in my way of thinking) essential project strategy connecting with all his theory.
Btw, this guy is telling us something loud and clear. It is a really good project.

Guardian :: The causes and consequences of the English riots last month, the most serious bout of civil unrest in a generation, will be examined in a study by the Guardian and the London School of Economics. Researchers will interview hundreds of people who were involved, residents, police and the judiciary, in the first empirical study into the widespread rioting and looting. Research will also include an advanced analysis of more than 2.5m riot-related Twitter messages.

A library to extend the Kotlin JVM programming language with support for rational numbers (as an alternative to floats and doubles which are imprecise)
This is a simple rational number class for the Kotlin programming language. It can be used to represent any number that can be expressed as one integer divided by another. It has the advantage that, unlike Floats or Doubles, it will not lose precision.

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio speaks to the media after he left Temple Beth Am, where a memorial service was held for U.S. journalist Steven Sotloffin in Pinecrest, Florida September 5, 2014. Israel said on Thursday it had prevented local media from reporting that slain U.S. journalist Sotloff was also an Israeli citizen, in a bid to reduce the risk to him after he was seized by Islamist insurgents in Syria last year.Islamic State, a militant group which has overrun large areas of Syria and Iraq, released a video this week of Sotloff being beheaded, calling the execution retaliation for U.S. air strikes. His Israeli dual nationality was made public after the White House authenticated the footage. REUTERS/Andrew Innerarity (UNITED STATES - Tags: CRIME LAW CIVIL UNREST MEDIA POLITICS)

Thin hollow wet crappy ice low down. Higher up some better ice but the ice on the crux was completely rotten and unclimbable with a continuous stream running down what was left. Abseiled off after judgement trumped bravado, but a grand day out nevertheless! andybrown114 - Lead - 27/Mar/11 with Rick Brown
Quality route. Definately felt like V,5 today with some sustained steep climbing below the easy ground at the top.Big Lee - AltLd O/S - 07/Mar/11 with Ryan Wilson
Steep for IV and didn't find too much good gear - the ice was good for the axes but abit soft for screws. Was very pleased to see the hole in the cornice at the top - prevented trying to dry tool up an off-width chimney! Led P1 and P3.markfairbank - AltLd O/S - 06/Mar/11 with Ian Moore
Found the route in pretty good nick, although screws not 100% & needed to clear a bit of joss for good ice. Lead P2 which was steepest V 4 to date. Many thanks to the cornice tunneler! Top notch route.Mountain Llama - AltLd - 06/Mar/11 with Paul S

The route was in the sun all day so the ice was very soft which meant screws were just pulling out. There was a tunnel through the cornice.chapmand - AltLd - 27/Jan/11 with Jon Sanders, Guy Wilson

Wow, thats a nice list with many choices that might even taste good :-) I will have to add those to my grocery list next time I go.
Peanut butter spikes me up, even though I am OK with Peanuts, and when I have some peanut butter it is the light kind. Weird...
Not a snack, but a good meal food: LASAGNA. This hits very slow, and is filling; I can use the dual wave on my pump and bolus half up front, half over about an hour. It's all the cheese I guess ^^ mmmmm cheese...
I ate a bunch of celery with peanut butter, and it didn't spike me, but kept me around 140-150 for hours. Not good! Hummus also pushes me up.
A food you didn't include was sauerkraut, which I like a lot. Our grocery also sells jicama sticks -- I don't know how low carb they are because they're sweet, but they have a high water content, and also fiber, so I'm guessing they're not so bad.
I also like plain tofu with soy sauce and bonito shavings, which I learned to eat in Japan. You can also put tofu in broth, although I prefer miso, which is fermented soy paste.
I'm glad to hear other people's ideas -- it will be a lot of help! :-)
Avocado with parma ham or prawns
Ajvar (A red pepper relish popular throughout what used to be Yugoslavia).
Guacamole (though I try to avoid this because it makes me crave nachos)
I prowl my local Korean and Chinese stores for weird and wonderful seaweed snacks that come closest to the mouth feel of potato chips.
I also went through a phase when I was addicted to Szechuan-style cucumber salad. These are cut-up cucumbers doused with Szechuan peppercorns, garlic, chilli, vinegar and a little sesame oil. They are vegan, low-carb, low-salt, low-fat and taste incredible!

January 2012 Featured Charity: Operation Respect
LIVING PHILANTHROPIC'S JANUARY 2012 FEATURED CHARITY is OPERATION RESPECT!
FIRST $1,000 in contributions matched by State Farm's Go To Bat Program and Anonymous Donor CYPHER!
Operation Respect is a non-profit organization working to assure each child and youth a respectful, safe and compassionate climate of learning where their academic, social and emotional development can take place free of bullying, ridicule and violence. Founded by Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul & Mary, the organization disseminates educational resources that are designed to establish a climate that reduces the emotional and physical cruelty some children inflict upon each other by behaviors such as ridicule, bullying and-in extreme cases-violence. It is a unique organization that provides a gateway to broad scale adoption of school-based character education as well as social and emotional learning (SEL) programs.
Toward this end, Operation Respect developed the Don't Laugh at Me (DLAM) programs, one for grades 2-5, another for grades 6-8 and a third for summer camps and after-school programs. All of the programs utilize inspiring music and video along with curriculum guides based on the well-tested, highly regarded conflict resolution curricula developed by the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP) of Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR). Thanks to the generosity of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Operation Respect disseminates the DLAM programs free of charge. More than 150,000 copies of the program have been distributed to educators since Operation Respect's inception.
Operation Respect also offers assembly programs and professional development workshops designed to provide educators with the tools for effective implementation. To date, over 40,000 educators have participated in workshops throughout the United States.

Great recipe! I left out the sugar and chickpeas and added a can of corn. Also used a can of rotel and another can of rotel for chili instead of diced tomatoes. So good, will definitely make again.
Jane's Vegetarian Chili
Randy Mayor
Boasting less than 300 calories and almost 15 grams of fiber per bowl, this hearty chili skips the ground beef and uses chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, and cannellini beans for a protein boost. To make this a complete vegetarian meal, skip the Worcestershire sauce or use anchovy-free.

Being raped by a man who you liked and trusted, even loved – thirty percent of rape victims are attacked by a boyfriend, husband or lover - is an entirely different experience from being raped by a stranger in an alley, but that doesn't mean it's any less damaging. Particularly not if others go on to tell you you're a lying bitch. Sorry if that hurts to hear.
This is about rape, and what it means, and what we think it means. As a culture, we still refuse collectively to accept that most rapes are committed by ordinary men, men who have friends and families, men who may even have done great or admirable things with their lives. We refuse to accept that nice guys rape, and they do it often. Part of the reason we haven't accepted it is that it's a fucking painful thing to contemplate – far easier to keep on believing that only evil men rape, only violent, psychotic men lurking in alleyways with pantomime-villain moustaches and knives, than to consider that rape might be something that ordinary men do. Men who might be our friends or colleagues or people we look up to. We don't want that to be the case. Hell, I don't want that to be the case. So, we all pretend it isn't. Justice, see?

They say that discretion is the better part of valour. But the Deparatment for International Development, or at least its boss, has decided otherwise. It was announced last month that "Aid from Britain will now be badged with a Union Flag when it is sent overseas, as a clear symbol that it comes from the United Kingdom." In these times of urgently, relentlessly celebrating Britishness in all possible ways, this little 'tweak' to development policy may have slipped under the radar.

Go inside. Close All windows and doors. Turn off all heaters. Air conditioners and fans. If not using the fireplace. Close fireplace dampers and vents. And cover cracks around doors and windows with tape or damped towels. Media news networks will continue to carry updated emergency information. Stay Off the telephone unless you have a life threatening emergency.

So I'm not interested in calling The Dark Knight Rises names; I'm interested in understanding what it is. And what it is, it turns out, is an effort to evade the consequences of its own parable, just as conservatives never want to remember how closely aligned their tradition has been with actual fascism.
Why is it so important that we see Tarzan lift and carry Jane that we're willing to get rid of basic plausibility? And why has it remained one of the most enduring images of pop cultural superheroism?

Lemon Aid
In most cases, Suchecki says, truck "owners participate in the specification of the truck and there's a lot of back and forth," he says. "There's a much bigger relationship between them and the manufacturers," one reason lemon laws aren't usually applied to commercial trucks.
Towers believes issues with emissions systems have in recent years made claims somewhat more frequent. He tells the story of a client whose 2008 model truck was replaced in February 2010 with a 2010 model, which was then repurchased in October after similar issues.
ATBS Maintenance Management Business Consultant Bill McClusky notes recent diesel technology advances make diagnosis and repair of complex truck systems more difficult. "We used to use the term mechanic," he says of shop personnel. "But these trucks have changed dramatically over the years. It's no longer a mechanical engine – there is so much in the way of electronics."
Today's diesel technician also has to be computer savvy and quick to learn, he adds. "You used to get two or three service bulletins a month on engines. Now it's two or three a day."
The growing complexity of truck systems, McClusky says, is further complicated by the limited resources available for training and paying technicians, as well as regulations that affect engine technology. He calls changes stemming from the California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions regulations as bringing about a "maintenance nightmare."
Suchecki says TMA doesn't monitor the frequency of lemon claims in Wisconsin or elsewhere, and doesn't hear from its members about claims. But an apparent dearth of claims in states other than Wisconsin, he reasons, indicates that for most truck buyers, "these laws are probably more trouble than they're worth – they make resolution of the issues more complicated than just dealing with the dealer."
Having a lemon law for commercial trucks "opens the door to abuse," says Mack Trucks spokesman John Walsh. "Instead of resorting to legal claims, we encourage our customers to work with their dealers regarding product concerns. That's the most efficient and cost-effective approach."
Other truck manufacturers declined to comment on lemon laws or did not respond to interview requests.
Megna estimates he's handled 20 commercial truck cases in his decades of practice, and Towers says he's filed "at least 100" truck cases since the early 1990s. Towers says other states' exclusion of commercial trucks from lemon law protection seems to result from a faulty assumption that all business users have leverage against manufacturers to get problems dealt with satisfactorily.
Megna speculated the best way to get states to take notice would be for out-of-state owner-operators to buy in Wisconsin solely for the lemon law protection. "Say I live in Iowa but I went across the border and bought in Wisconsin," says Megna. "If even a few owner-operators did that, it would create some concern in Iowa and a focus on the problem." While one way to prove a lemon in Wisconsin is documentation of four unsuccessful repair attempts made by the originating dealer, the law does not require buyers to obtain service at the originating dealer in order to satisfy the 30-days out-of-service threshold written into the law. Only practical matters – taking delivery of the truck in Wisconsin, the potential maintenance import of a solid relationship with a dealer you know well – make buying there a negative prospect for owner-operators elsewhere.
Noll concluded his lemon truck had been built with components, including too-thin fuel lines, designed for a much less powerful engine than the 600-hp Cummins. He attributes it to a simple assembly error, and is thankful for the lemon law protection. Reflecting on the broader implications, he says, without a lemon law "these companies can run all over you. I don't care what you're manufacturing – if someone on the line screws it up, you should fix it, especially with a Class 8 truck. When it's your livelihood, a problem can really kill you."
That was Noll's last truck, after 45 years mostly spent as an owner-operator. He suffered a stroke shortly before his case ended, then sold the truck for a bargain basement price.
National lemon law lineup
Wisconsin's award of automatic double damages to lemon owners who win trial cases against manufacturers is unique among states whose laws are written broadly enough to cover trucks. In other states that cover trucks, laws are generally disadvantageous to buyers.

The only down side to this was getting the "OMG who isn't clicking!!!1!!!", but it was anonymous so you would never really know.

As governments around the world discuss the escalation of violence in Syria, CARE remains gravely concerned about the impact of the conflict on civilians. We call on all parties for a peaceful political resolution. It is now more urgent than ever that political differences are set aside, and that the plans for the Geneva peace conference are finalised. More than 100,000 lives have already been lost and over 9.3 million people are in need of immediate humanitarian assistance, including more than 2.6 million refugees in neighbouring countries such as Jordan and Lebanon. Within Syria a further 6.5 million people have fled their homes.
CARE calls on all parties to ensure the protection of civilians, and to facilitate the delivery of much needed humanitarian assistance.
Syria's neighboring countries have seen a dramatic increase in refugee numbers. More than 2.6 million Syrians have fled their country in search of safety. CARE is particularly concerned about the plight of women and children who make up 75 percent of the number of refugees, and are most vulnerable during crises and displacements.
The crisis is escalating day by day. The needs of Syrian refugees and hosting communities are growing. So is CARE International's emergency response. But our resources are stretched.
For an overview of the crisis, download our Syria crisis factsheet.
To date, we have secured less than 25 per cent of the US$ 200 million funding that we need for our response. We need your help. Any donation, no matter how small, will help us reach and support those most vulnerable, caught up in the biggest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. Please donate here.
CARE is working with host country governments, the United Nations, and international and local organizations to help refugees and host communities meet their most urgent needs and protect their dignity. CARE is providing life-saving services to Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon and to people affected by the crisis in Syria. As the conflict escalates, we are also conducting activities in Egypt and potentially Yemen to help Syrian refugees there as well. CARE is an impartial and neutral organization. Our support to families affected by the crisis in Syria is based on humanitarian needs alone, no matter which religion, political affiliation or ethnicity people belong to.
Read our factsheet on CARE's response to the Syria crisis over the last three years.
In Jordan: To date, CARE has reached more than 250,000 Syrians, providing cash assistance to pay for basic living costs, including rent, food and clothes; essential relief items and vital information on how to access further health care and social support. In addition, CARE has reached over 13,000 people in host communities with emergency relief supplies, including emergency cash, to support their gracious efforts in hosting the growing influx of Syrians desperately seeking safety.
CARE set up a refugee centres in East Amman, Zarqa, Irbid and Mafraq, where CARE volunteers, who are refugees themselves, assist in organising and preparing distributions and provide information on access to support services.
Over the next two years, CARE aims to:
CARE is also working with the UN and other agencies in Azraq, a new refugee camp that opened at the end of April 2014. CARE's activities in the new Azraq camp are three-fold:
In Lebanon, there are over 1,200,000 Syrian refugees. CARE Lebanon meets refugees' most basic and pressing needs, mainly providing water, sanitation, shelter, and cash assistance in Beirut and in the areas of Mount Lebanon and Tripoli.
In the winter, CARE helps families to prepare and cope with the cold winter, distributing cash, heaters, fuel vouchers, blankets and floor mats.
Over the next two years, our response will include:
In Egypt, CARE raises awareness among the 150,000 refugees about sexual exploitation and other forms of gender-based violence to protect them from any form of abuse. CARE also provides psychosocial assistance to those in need. Further plans include:
In Yemen, CARE has begun a profiling exercise of Syrian refugees arriving in Yemen, especially in Sana'a, Taiz and Aden. To date this has involved making more concrete linkages with host communities and trust building with local authorities and communities as well as incoming refugees.Initial findings from Yemen reveal that refugee families are mainly concerned about accommodation, as they are struggling to cover high rental costs. Families also reported having to beg in order to be able to cover living costs. To date, the majority of refugee families reported that they haven't received any assistance.

the shower and large bed were good. Internet worked well and i had no problems, booking of a taxi went smoothly. Thanks for the stay
The iron was almost broken and only just worked. The bedding was very thick for the hot weather, would have like a thinner one.
wonderful, quiet, quaint, near to beautiful sightseeing!
access for dropping off the luggage was difficult - common in similar old cities
Location, great towels and toiletries, nice staff
difficult access from closest parking garage, no elevator in garage, not easy with siutcases.
the view and the quietness and helpfulness of staff
The location: Our room overlooked the garden and some beautiful buildings. There are lovely cafes, restaurants & a boulangerie, deli etc right there and it's less than a 5 minute walk to the top of the main street down to the middle of town. Lovely safe area to walk back to at night. Right near the lovely park with fantastic views. The staff were all great, friendly & helpful. Rooms were nice, quiet etc Great to have tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge. I would definitely stay there again.
Only the distance from the shuttle drop off point (from the airport) as it ended up costing 60 euros in taxis (30 each way) instead, but that was our choice and hopefully once the tram stop is sorted out, that wont be a problem anymore.
Nice cool veranta for breakfast
Constructions in the street with a lot of noise, I hope it will end in short time
If you are not by car, location should not be an issue. Everything is within close proximity while being still in a quite are of the town.
Arriving to the hotel by car was not so easy as there are some construction works, however parking was not so much an issue. The room was not very comfortable (tiny and the mattress too hard) and the design a bit outdated. In general not such good value for money.
The central location was very good
Our rooms were located in a separate building to the Hotel reception and social areas. The rooms themselves were small and in need of a complete upgrade
Head straight for the parking house and then get the discount voucher from the hotel. Driving in the old city is definitely not recommended.
Great little hotel in excellent location for exploring Montpellier. The staff were really helpful & friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel
The hotel is situated in the Centre Historique of Montpellier which is an attractive city, like a little Paris. The old medical school, upmarket shops, the covered market and the Arc de Triomphe are nearby. The hotel has charm and there is a good restaurant "Le Petiti Jardin" with its cheaper bistro next door.
The road outside the front door was being dug up so there was unavoidable noise. This is likely to be only a transient problem. Access to the hotel is a little difficult as the roads are very narrow.
Construction in area.
Atmosphere, old-fashioned rooms
Unexpected steps, very difficult to access by car, unsuitable for weelchairs
Everything but the cost.
The room was large and lovely, but I would have been happy with a smaller one and paying less money. When I made my reservation, there were none left.
Charming place, charming location, charming people.
Good location. Hotel really charming. Staff very friendly .
Wifi in rooms was really poor. But that seems to be the norm in France.
Free WIFI connection was good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Fairly central location but not that easy to find.
Air conditioner didn't work so it was too hot to sleep well.
I loved the warm and friendly ambience and the very French authentic atmosphere.
Difficult to access/ find but hotel would have provided a map had we requested one!
Restaurant under the hotel, location and view, Pleasant room, clean, private at the end of corridor. Thanks
Paid 20euros more for the second day, not sure why... No air condition!
All staff exceptionally helpful.
For mature people the stairs are problematic.
The hotel was very well situated in a quiet pedestrian street on the edge of the old town. The hotel offered a very good rate at the public carpark which was less than 200 metres away. The breakfast had plenty of choice and good quality ingredients and in warm weather there is a pleasant terrace where you can take it overlooking gardens.
The bathroom was extremely small.
Good breakfast
Gorgeous room, comfortable, clean and really friendly helpful staff. Perfectly located in the old part of town, absolutely amazing for a traveler wanting the real old French town experience. Surrounded by amazing shops and restaurants and easy parking at a local carpark with a discount. Loved it!
Driving in the old city is horrendous. Be warned!
Location, staff, nice breakfast

I've been tanking blood since Ulduar, and I've used Glyph of Death and Decay since the beginning, because it helps on trash pulls and especially in random dungeons. But yeah, once I got the t10 2 set, I swapped it out for Rune Tap.
But using Glyph of Raise Dead just doesn't make a lot of sense, though minor glyphs aren't all that big a deal. Assuming you put 3 talents into it (which as a tank, I can't see why not) then you're getting a 10% heal every 30 seconds (11% with the glyph). This tends to be just enough to give my healers an extra second to get me back up. While popping a glyphed ghoul definitely gives more health (40%), its on a 5 minute cooldown, which means once you've used it, its down for the rest of the fight. That's also assuming ur ghoul doesn't get cleaved or aoed or whatever before you have the runic power to pop it.
Frankly, I would use glyph of corpseboom (if you're cool enough to spec into it) or horn of winter (assuming you don't have a shammy).

Mobile radar systems to patrol US boundaries, keep undocumented immigrants out
From The Verge:
To Worsley, that exodus — which reports put closer to 100,000 — was a sobering sign. Arizona voters seemed to agree. Soon after SB1070's passage, it was revealed that Russell Pearce had crafted much of the bill with helpful suggestions from both the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an organization designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Corrections Corporation of America, a private prison company that stood to profit from the detention of undocumented immigrants. In 2011, a recall election for Russell Pearce's senate seat was approved after a successful local petition gathered more than 18,000 signatures. Fifteen months later, Pearce was out and Worsley was in.

GTA:LC's Anniversary
Posted 13 December 2004 - 09:51 PM Edited by Craig Kostelecky, 13 December 2007 - 04:29 AM.
Here's some personal thanks to those who are mostly responsible for the project:
PineCreek-Skidz - This guy is pretty much completely responsible for the original GTA:WO files. He's the one that threw Vice City in the trash and brought Liberty City to life.
Demarest - If it weren't for Dem, I don't think this ever would have been started. I think it would have died with GTA:WO so long ago. It was Demarest that set up the idea that we should stay GTA3 authentic, and he started the open door team philosophy. I know I wouldn't have gotten involved if Demarest wasn't the original team leader.
killer.ip - Our original workhorse. He's the guy I've tried to live up to. This guy did more for the first beta release then anybody else I know. I wish he was still around because he's an expert on just about everything that I don't know. Together we'd make the perfect team.
ModelingMan - without this guy, I think we'd still have the Cubans ruling Saint Marks. Plus he's been a great help with keeping these forums under control.
Hammer83 - He's my coding go-to-guy. If there's a problem that I can't solve, Hammer's the first person I ask. He's the guy that got audio, garage doors, cutscenes, zones, the GTA3 HUD, and many other things working. I don't know where this project would be if it weren't for Hammer83. I'd also like to consider him a friend.
spaceeinstein - He's the king of the data files. I don't think there's a single notepad file that he hasn't modified. And he's been the guy who's kept me along the GTA3 authentic guidelines. I know I'm not as strict about staying GTA3 authentic as Demarest was, but with spaceeinstein poking me, we're not straying too far from GTA3 either.
PatrickW - I'm really glad Patrick decided to help us out. I remember browsing the coding forums wishing that we had a guy like Patrick helping us out with the coding. Then out of nowhere he comes in and says, "Here's the trains for you." I really hope when the trains are all finished you'll stick around and help us out with the LC code. In fact if you have the time, I've got quite a doozy that's hurting my brain right now.
jcab42 - He's my new mapping go-to-guy. If there's something that doesn't look right, I tell johnny cab. And now that Diamond Joe Quimby is helping out as well, I know we're going to get these mapping bugs fixed.
There's plenty more people to personally thank, but I've got to be at work in about 5 minutes. So I'll probably update this more when I get back.
Congratulations GTA:LC team. I love all you guys. And I don't regret any bit of the time that I've spent here in the last year. I wasn't going to have a social life anyway. We've been around for one full year. Let's hope it doesn't take us another year to finish.
Posted 13 December 2004 - 10:04 PM
It's great on how much volunteering was done to make this mod look very good.
Posted 13 December 2004 - 10:27 PM
My special thanks go out to
Patrick W
as these are two contributors I have gotten a chance to work along side with,
All other thanks to the rest of the team members.

Craig, I'll stick around as long as you can supply me "impossible" mission coding challenges. Just hit me, before your mind bursts ( either pm, msn or forum)
Here's an additional entry for the first post, this guy must have slipped your mind:
Craig Kostelecky - Team-Leader of this mod since Demarest decided that he couldn't dedicate the time that was needed to succeed. What makes him a good leader is the fact that he knows how to find the right person for the things he can't do himself. This guy is the one that gets the develments going, not in the least by doing most of it himself.

Mark Pagliaro: For patching quite a handful of peds.
Hollower: For making it possible to put the peds in VC/LC.
Will there be another anniversary? [/big_question]
Posted 14 December 2004 - 07:04 AM
Posted 14 December 2004 - 11:22 AM
I think it would be better if there WASN'T another aniversary, i.e. we get it completed in less that a year (but not at the expense of quality).
Alot of people wat to see LC/VC in SA so I think there will be a big push, and it may be easier to convert Liberty City and Vice City not GTA III, as then they're in the same format and any work can be done to both.
Anyway, well done again.
Posted 14 December 2004 - 12:21 PM
A lot of things hapened during this time which were only possible with the help of the dedicated team members!
Posted 14 December 2004 - 05:06 PM
great work guys and yeah lol, lets hope it doesnt take another year to finish
congrats to all, and good luck
Posted 16 December 2004 - 10:37 AM
As long as there's no random crashes (which i've never come across) i'm happy
Posted 18 December 2004 - 06:31 AM
@ The Team: Good job, lets hope to see the final here sometime in 2005, but not rushed so that quality is lost.

I know that I'm approximately one day and two-and-a-half hours early with this, but I'm not sure if I can get here tomorrow to post, and besides, it makes up for Craig being a day late last year !
It's interesting to read back through this topic and see that the majority of people posted things like:
"I can't believe how far we've come in a year", and
"Let's hope it doesn't take another year to get this complete". Well, we are still here after two years, and look at the progress we've made. I've followed the releases of the mod since early this year, although I only joined the forums in May, and I've witnessed a number of dramatic transformations throughout Liberty City. And, we are finally moving closer to a final version - I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel now. For a while there, I was thinking that we'd never get finished...
People will always talk about what specific team members have done for this mod, especially Demarest originally and now Craig. No one doubts the amount of time and effort they have put in, the number of sacrifices they have made to get LC where it is today. But, we are also all aware that they can't do everything - that's why we have a team of people who specialise in certain areas.
So, I'd like to thank a few people who made some magnificant contributions over the past year (or at least since I've been here):
- Craig:
What can I say? Team leader, coding extraordinnaire, Mr Fixit. That's just some of his many traits. Thanks a lot, Craig
- Alex:
It's always hard to be compared to someone of Craig's stature, but I rate you equally. Forum mod, forum reshuffle, coding extraordinnaire, helper. Thanks Alex, you're a champion!
- Hammer83:
Although I don't know you very well Hammer, your contribution to this mod cannot be denied. Hell, I can actually play LC with my legit copy of VC now. Thanks,
- GTA_Thomas:
Although we had our differences originally, I think we've come such a long way since then and we respect each other (well, I certainly respect you a lot). You are proof that you don't have to be a modding extraordinnaire (my word of the day !) to contribute to this mod. Thanks
- Choofy:
My fellow countryman - you are to map modding/ped conversion as Craig is to coding. Is there anything you can't do? Not only that, but you've also managed to teach me (a n00b!) some basics about map modding. Thanks mate
And last but not least, everyone else who's made any sort of positive contribution to this mod over the past year (if I keep typing a list of individuals, I'll be here forever!). Actually, make that the entire LC team - past, present and even future members. We are forever in-debted to you. On behalf of everyone who has ever played GTA: Liberty City,
Oh, and to keep in with the current trend of this topic, let's hope it doesn't take us another year to finish this! Keep up the good work guys.
Posted 11 December 2005 - 11:19 AM
Ben's list of names is good, but it's only the people that have helped out in the last few months. The majority of the work was done long ago by many other people.
First and formost, PineCreek-Skidz is the original creator of all of this. He was the one that got the GTA3 map into the VC engine. He was also around until the beta 1 package was released to help us work out many of the mapping bugs.
Next on the list would be killer.ip. This guy had his hands in nearly every kind of file. He was the first true leader of the mod.
Demarest was the guy who got this all started at GTAF. He was the one that had the idea of keeping this as a port of GTA3 without getting too fancy with changes that may turn off some other people. He also had a lot of pull (at the time) here at GTAF which led to us getting our own forum.
Hammer83 is the single most important member of the team in my opinion. Without his work, we would not have any audio, cutscene animations, several missions, proper water, garage doors, the GTA3 look, and many other things. Whenever anybody said anything couldn't be changed because it was hardcoded, Hammer found a way. I wasn't able to convert any missions from GTA3 until I saw how he did it. I've just been copying his style ever since.
spaceeinstein is another workhorse that we've had who I can't imagine being without. He's changed so many data files that I've completely lost count. I'm so glad that he's been willing to help us out over the years.
Knux is also a very important part of this mod. Especially in the beginning. He was one of the guys that worked on the infamous GTA:WO project. When that team fell apart and this one picked up the slack, he came over to help us out. The biggest part of his contribution to this mod would be the car conversions (with crazydude) and the original path conversion. Without his help, the city would be pretty bare with no cars or people on the streets.
ModelingMan was the first guy I promoted to led-by status. He was also our biggest ped converter. Those that have been around the entire time will always remember the joke about ModelingMan "boning" the fireman.
Mark Pagliaro is another guy who was helping out with a little of everything. What sticks out in my mind are the peds he converted and the train/subway models which we still use. There's also many little things that Mark did that I cannot possibly recall this long after they happened. Plus, I like his username. I like a guy who's not afraid to tell everybody who he is on the Internet.
[4D]Outback is another guy who did more than I can ever recall. When the time(s) came to move the city, he was right there leading the effort to put Liberty right where it should be.
jcab42, Gforce, and Diamond Joe Quimby were the guys I talked to whenever there was a mapping issue. And when they had the time, they were always willing to fix things. And the results of their work looked like it was done by Rockstar themselves.
DaEllum67 really helped me in the art of mission conversion. Before he did the Donald Love missions, I wasn't too sure on how to convert the missions. But after studying his approach, I was able to really figure out how to do it. Thanks go out to the other mission coders in the beginning: TbM2k, TwoZero, Samutz, sleeper777, and Thesord. These guys figured out how to do the missions. I just duplicated that process for the remaining 40 or so missions.
PatrickW: I knew you before Hot Coffee™ turned the GTA world upside down. I'm surprised I wasn't harrassed as much as you were since my name was attached to that mod as well. I'm honored that you've played a small part in this mod's development.
Y_Less was my second led-by here. And it was certainly a good choice. When I was losing focus on the forums, Alex was there to keep things organized. Many of the things you're seeing in Ben right now were true with Y_Less when I promoted him. His attention to detail and his willingness to format all of the posts has really improved the look of this place. And I'm looking forward to seeing his car crusher code in action (if he helps me understand it )
Which brings me to Ben. He's shown every bit of the enthusiasm that Alex had back in the day and then some. With him watching the forums, I can relax and just work on the game (or just relax and slack off )
A few months ago, I felt like LC was dying a slow death. I wasn't motivated to do anything, and almost every other team member was doing something else. Then a guy by the name of Choofy came along and started finishing everybody else's work. With him doing the proper 2D-Fix, the ped models, the subway, building cols, and whatever else he hasn't told me about yet, I've felt motivated to keep up with him. I hope his drive lasts long enough to finish this thing off.
So many people have come and gone over these two years. And so many names have been made from this mod. When this started nobody heard of me, Hammer, ModelingMan, spaceeinstein, and many others. But now we have almost been imortalized because of what we've acomlished. And nearly every one of them is so humble that they'll always say it was the other guys' work that made the mod. I couldn't have done this without these guys.
Posted 11 December 2005 - 07:41 PM
Along with everyone that was mentioned already, I'd like to add Spooky to the list of contributors to remember. He is not in the outro and not a lot of people associate him with LC, but it was actually him that made the launcher what it is today with this little suggestion. Most of the work I did wouldn't be possible without his, shall I say pioneering, work.
I won't list everyone here out of the fear of forgetting somebody, but I really need to write a special paragraph for Craig. You can write all you want about me being important, but you are the driver that keeps the LC machine rolling and improving. Sometimes I wonder off south and completely forget about LC for weeks, and there you appear keeping me in check and giving me a fresh dose of enthusiasm to keep going. And you give yourself far less credit than you should. More than half of the mission script (which is 3 MBs long!) is on your conscience, buddy, you can't deny that! Sure, at first you could have said that I just do it the way so and so does, but two years later there ought to be something of your own in there especially considering that none of us ex-mission coders touched the script significantly for a long while now (for which I feel really guilty btw ).
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who had so many kind words for me. It always feels great when your work is appreciated. That's probably why I'm still here

LC is the GTA counterstrike.

Indeed. The Liberty City mod is quite an impressive project that has improved a lot since the first release.
Keep up the great work!
Posted 12 December 2005 - 05:49 AM
i was hoping to get my subway fix done so i could be on the official list, but it was far to difficult and decided to pass the potato!
Posted 12 December 2006 - 06:48 AM
Wow... 3 years. I've only really been following the mod for nigh on 2, and the last year has certainly gone fast. I was talking to Craig about this yesterday actually, and although this has been the least productive year LC has had, we've still achieved several significant breakthroughs. And I see no reason why more can't follow - the only problem we have at the moment is a lack of active team members - Real Life has taken a big impact. However, the mod will still live on, and is by no means near an end - more and more people are experiencing (and loving) it, which, in the long run, leads to greater publicity and therefore a better chance that more people will jump on board and help out.
Not a great deal has changed with my list of people to thank from last year's post, except that I wish to add ModelingMan and Konstantinos. What MM has done for LC is nothing short of extraordinary, and I can't really go into all that he has done because there's simply too much. Konstantinos has been our most prolific and best tester IMO, and without him, this mod would not be at the stage it is. Only a few days ago he sent me a PM wanting to become more involved, which I think is excellent - at this stage, we're willing to accept any and all help - I'm glad to see that there is still interest in the development side of the mod . Also, I can't let this slip by without mentioning Demarest - the man who started this project. There's not much I can say except simply, thanks .
I think I'll leave it there - no point in raving on for ages. LC is still the best TC mod for GTA, and we've made the most progress - in fact, I can see us potentially reaching a final beta stage sometime over the next year (meaning that there'll only be a few things to do before a final version of the mod is released). Even at this stage, where not a lot is happening, I think that's still a possibility. And I'm hoping that's what happens.
So happy 3rd birthday LC .

Ann Romney, who addressed the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night, was the first person there to mention the word, Mormon.

"When Mitt and I met and fell in love, we were determined not to let anything stand in the way of our life together," Romney told the delegates. "I was an Episcopalian. He was a Mormon."
Eventually, she converted to Mormonism and the couple reared their children in the LDS faith.
Romney continued to describe her life as a mother with five rowdy boys, her "real" rather than "storybook" marriage and coping with illness.
Most commenters were struck by her poise under pressure and the sincerity of her delivery, saying she "stole the show" and even outdid New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the keynote speaker.
"The speech, the experts and pundits proclaimed, needed to humanize Mitt Romney," writes Liz Halloran and National Public Radio. "But it really served as a vehicle to humanize her — a woman of great attractiveness and expensive polish — and, by extension, him."
Many Mormons, no matter their political leanings, seemed proud of the GOP's first lady hopeful.
On the Internet, they described Ann Romney as "strong and inspiring" or as "beautiful, successful in her family and marriage, strong-minded, decisive, confident, forceful." Some said the candidate's wife was "relatable, appealing to women by talking about wives and mothers being the glue of the nation."
Many also noted a kind of "LDS General Conference cadence."
Scholar/writer/Mormon blogger Joanna Brooks "nodded," she writes at Religion Dispatches, when Romney "explained to the audience why Mitt Romney doesn't talk more about his faith, focusing not on the fine points of what Mormons believe, but on the best of what Mormons do: the acts of service performed for one another."
Such hints of Mormonism at a political convention have been a long time coming.
LDS reporter McKay Coppins explains the five-year effort to bring Mitt Romney's Mormon faith into the spotlight.
"The story of his journey to this point is one that shows the candidate's family struggling with the realities of public life as a religious minority," Coppins writes, "as the rest of the country grapples with Mormonism knocking on the door of mainstream U.S. culture."
And it's about to get even more play Thursday.
Word has it that on Thursday night two LDS families will talk about how Mitt Romney helped them when he served as their "home teacher" during time of trouble. Then a longtime friend and former Mormon bishop will introduce the newly minted nominee. Mitt Romney, his aides say, will even mention the M-word himself.
