The stories you are about to read are true. Yes, men do laundry. Sometimes with entertaining results.
"Worst thing that ever happened? Sophomore year at college, I volunteered to do the laundry for a girl I had a crush on. (Yeah, gender role reversal.) She gave me explicit instructions that her sweaters were to be washed and hung out to dry — and I threw them in the dryer too. I ended up buying her three new sweaters at Macy's.
On a happier note, when I was a child, I loved the smell of clothes fresh from the dryer. When I was little, I begged for the chance to pull them out and carry them to my mother's bed, where she'd fold them. Of course, I held them so tight to pull the scent onto my skin that I ended up wrinkling everything."
— Hugo Schwyzer, CA
I flooded both my parents' basement and our apartment in the same year while washing everyone's clothes. The kids were all, "you're in big trouble, dad."
— Ron Mattocks
"When I first became a single Dad to my 8-year old daughter, no one had ever told me to separate whites and deep colors. I had been taking dress shirts and slacks to the dry cleaner. Suddenly, I could not afford such luxuries, and so I crammed everything into a single machine, figuring, "How hard can it be?" Result: I wore pink tidy-whities for a loooooong time."
— Perry Glasser, MA
"When I was a teenager, I expected that the magic laundry fairies would show up to take care of all my laundry needs for me. When the laundry fairies didn't show up on time, I learned how to wash and dry one set of clothes at a time, while everything else ended up in a big pile on my floor. Weaseling out of laundry duty was high on my list of priorities."
— Derek Markham, NM
"My boyfriend sweats a lot when he sleeps. Like, a lot. Like, walking through the desert for a day, wet, sweaty grossness. I say, "Boyfriend you gotta wash the sheets…when you do your laundry wash them, please??" I get home from work, see him working on the computer since he works from home, and ask, "Hey Honey bunny, did you do the laundry?" He replies, "No I didn't have time to go today." And I say, "THE SHEETS ARE DISGUSTING."
However, he grabs my arm and says, "Well I think I have a temporary solution for now." He brings me into the bedroom and lifts up the sheets and shows me about 10 dryer sheets he had laid down between the mattress and the sheet and smiles.
I say, "You are unbelievable," and go do the laundry myself.
— Rebecca and Aaron
I turned everything pink after leaving a single little girl's sock in with the white towels and t-shirts. I still wear that pink shirt.

It's no secret that tumble drying can damage your garments, so the less time your clothes spend in there the better. Try speeding up the process with a few tennis balls. Placing these in with your load can cut your drying time by as much as 50 percent.
Simply wrap each ball in a sock to prevent any lint from escaping before you throw them in. As the dryer spins, the balls help separate the clothes, which in turn allows more warm air to circulate to the center of the load. The more balls you add, the faster the drying time. And best of all, these can be used over and over again.
If you have old towels that always seem to smell and don't absorb as well as they used to, chances are the cause of this is detergent and fabric softener build-up, which can accumulate in the fibers over time. To get them fresh and fluffy again, all you need is a little vinegar and baking soda.
Simply place the offending towels into the washer and add 1 cup of distilled white vinegar. Then start your cycle on the warmest water setting possible. Once you're done, repeat the process, except this time add 1/2 cup of baking soda. When that's through, just put the items into the dryer, and you're done. The vinegar and baking soda combo is really effective at stripping old residue from the fibers, making your old towels just like new. Bonus: This also works great for brightening and revitalizing dingy white sheets.
So remember, you can keep your laundry clean without deteriorating it in the process. With a little know-how, your clothing and your budget can last a lot longer than you think.

For me, dry cleaning has always belonged in a category of miracles, along with color-safe bleach, dry shampoo, and acupuncture. They seem to work, but is it only because we'd like to believe they do? So we decided to take a look past the counter and '80s-style decals to figure out, what is dry cleaning, anyway?
Spoiler alert! It's not actually dry.
Let's start from the beginning. In the 1800s, a French gentleman named Jolly Belin spilled some kerosene on either a gross tablecloth or some dirty laundry, depending on who you talk to. His clumsy mistake turned up an unexpected result: the oily mixture of hydrocarbons banished the stains already built up on the fabric. Thinking he might have landed upon a better cleaner than soap and water, he started testing kerosene's dirt-removal powers. Pleased with his results, he opened a kerosene-powered cleaning service in Paris-or what's now known as the first ever dry-cleaning establishment.
Kerosene (believe it or not) lifted dirt without messing up the clothing's fibers. "There are certain fabrics and dyes and garments constructed with adhesives that are water sensitive, and dry cleaning doesn't permeate the fibers or make them wet with water," explains Alan Spielvogel, the director of technical services at the National Cleaners Association. Because kerosene doesn't contain water, it can negotiate sensitive fabrics like wool or silk.
The problem with kerosene, though, is that it is flammable—not quite as flammable as gasoline—but enough that soaking our clothes in it can be a problem. And because dry cleaners kept so much of it on the premises, they were routinely denied insurance.
So solvents less likely to burst into flames came into fashion, and in 1948, cleaners settled on a non-flammable organic halogen compound called perchloroethylene, nicknamed perc. The liquid chemical lifts dirt from most common fabrics, doesn't cause clothing to shrink or most dyes to fade, and it can be reused, which keeps costs down.
It works like this: When you drop a collared shirt or Pendelton throw off at the dry cleaners, both are tossed in a machine that looks and acts kind of like an over-sized front-load washer. The machine fills with solvent, and the drum rotates, swishing your clothes around in the (not-water!) liquid that loosens the stain. (While perc is still predominant, hydrocarbons, silicone-based solvents, glycol ethers, and liquid carbon dioxides also do the trick.)
The dirt either ends up in a filter, or is separated from the solvent through a distilling process. The perc (or similar) is sealed up in the machine and reused with each wash, transforming from liquid to vapor and back again. When the cycle is finished, these beastly washers take care of the drying, too.
But this souped-up wash cycle doesn't always eliminate 100 percent of the grime. The water-rejecting properties that make the perc and perc-like solvents so good for certain fabrics and stains also allow water-soluble marks to remain. Different chemicals are applied to treat the stains that require water to lift, typically before the machine wash. "Wet" treatments can target water-soluble food and drink stains, starches, fats and oils, and plant-based marks. "Dry" spotting agents for more thoroughly soiled fabrics take aim at oily spots made by fats, waxes, cosmetics, paint, and plastics.
A fancy pressing machine removes all the wrinkles, and then, presto, a perfectly clean and pristine shirt. Sure, it's a bit of a miracle that my always-wine-stained-dress-for-every-wedding has survived for this long, but I'm relieved to know there's more than magic and hope behind the dry cleaning process-and that for everyday fabrics like cotton, the good ol' washer does just fine.
While a trip to the dry cleaners is a common experience for many, there are secrets we probably don't know about the places we trust to clean our clothes.
"You don't know what goes on behind closed doors!" Debra Kravet, who runs Apthorp Cleaners in New York, N.Y., told ABC News' "20/20."
Tune in for more confessions on ABC News' "20/20" on Friday, March 7, at 10 p.m. ET
Kravet said that many of the things customers think they know about dry cleaners are myths.
From garment bags to removing stains, here are some commonly held dry cleaning myths that "20/20" busted.
|Myth #1
Myth: Club soda can help remove stains.
The Truth: False! "Club soda is definitely not the answer," Kravet said. "If it was, we'd fill up all our cleaning machines with club soda!" According to Kravet, club soda does nothing except possibly make the stain worse. Instead, gently dab the spot with a white napkin or do nothing at all. Then, bring the garment to the cleaner as soon as possible, and be honest about what the stain is!
|Myth #2
Myth: Clothes that have a "dry clean only" tag can only be cleaned at the dry cleaners.
The Truth: Nope! Despite those labels, for certain fabrics, such as cashmere sweaters, hand washing is just good, especially with light-colored clothing. Just don't put these items in the dryer. Instead, lay them flat to dry.
|Myth #3
Myth: It's okay to store your clothes in the plastic bags from the dry cleaner.
The Truth: No! Those bags are just to ensure that the clothes don't get splashed after cleaning. According to cleaners, your clothes need to breathe. Leaving your clothes in the bags might trap humidity or make it hard to lose any residual odor from the chemicals. Storing clothes in bags can also allow stains to oxidize and make the clothes harder to clean.
|Myth #4
Myth: My clothes are washed separately from other customers.
The Truth: Wrong! Several people's clothes are cleaned together. However, as long as the system is maintained properly, cleaners say this is not an issue.
|Myth #5
Myth: Dry cleaners charge more for women's clothing than men's clothing because they have a gender bias.
The Truth: It's not sexist: it's economics, according to Kravet. Women's shirts can't fit on the pressing machine and have to be hand ironed. More labor means more expense.
|Myth #6
Myth: Dry cleaning a suit too often makes it shiny.
The Truth: Not at all! "Wearing your suit day after day, the friction is what's making it shiny," Kravet said. However, if the cleaner is not good at pressing the suit, you may notice some marks left behind.
FICTION – Pricing discriminates against women.
FACT – Prices are based on our costs of doing business without regard to gender, race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin, or sexual orientation, of the person who owns or wears the garment.
We strive to charge the same for all garments of a similar type. However, customer care associates are instructed to check closely for any detail that may require specific handling requirements and to charge for that item accordingly.
FICTION – All stains can be removed.
FACT – No they can't.
Whether it's a new garment or a treasured, well-worn garment, everyone hates it when they spill something on their clothing. We understand, and will always use our best efforts to make that accident go away. Sometimes it's pretty easy – sometimes not. Either way, we have the professional expertise to do the job. Successful stain removal depends largely on the nature of the stain, the type of fabric, and the colorfastness of the dye. Some fabrics and dyes simply will not withstand the use of cleaning or stain removal agents. Some stains, like ink and dried paint for example, can be impossible to remove.
FICTION – Care labels are always correct.
FACT – No. Most manufacturers never test garments before the required care label is attached.
Understanding and following care label instructions is almost an art – requiring a combination of knowledge of care symbols, instructions, and practical experience.
The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Care Label Rule does not require testing before care instructions are assigned to a garment – only that a manufacturer have a 'reasonable basis' for their care instructions. Further, they are not required to provide instruction for the best care procedure – simply one that works. Sometimes it's right and sometimes it's wrong. We always attempt to alert our customer to a potential problem beforehand.
FICTION – The damage is your fault because it was just fine when I brought it in.
FACT – We strive for error free operation, but mistakes can happen. When we're wrong we will make it right.
Statistics from the International Textile Analysis Laboratory (ITAL) demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of problems are the result of improper care instructions or damage that is not readily visible. We sometimes rely upon a determination from ITAL to resolve where responsibility should be placed.
Wrong Care Instructions – In general, the safest way to clean an item is to carefully follow the care instructions. If damage occurs after following the manufacturer's recommendations, then rightfully, the manufacturer is at fault.
Consumer Related – Occasionally chemical damage occurs as the result of use and wear, but it remains invisible and unknown until the article is cleaned. In cases like these, the flexing of the fabric during cleaning causes already damaged fibers to fall out, leaving holes or a loss or change of color. The usual culprits are perspiration, alcohol, bleach, various acid and alkaline-based products, salt, and hair preparations.
Household Damage – Environmental conditions can cause damage to fabrics. This may include surface soiling from an accumulation of smoke, dirt, and dust or direct exposure to sunlight or artificial light. Discoloration or degradation of fabric may not be evident until these contaminants are removed.
FICTION – Shirts (and sometimes other garments) don't shrink.
FACT – Yes they can if the material has not been properly preshrunk or some other element of construction has not been properly stabilized.
When it begins, shrinkage usually becomes progressively noticeable. Typically, manufacturers consider a two to three percent shrinkage factor acceptable. But when shrinkage or some other element of construction exceeds this factor, the result is shrinkage around the chest, sleeves, and neck. This is a problem associated with manufacturing and is beyond our control.
FICTION – Drycleaning harms the environment.
FACT – The drycleaning industry is possibly the most heavily regulated small business in America. Air and water regulations are comprehensive and farreaching. Safe operating practices, handling, and disposal of any chemicals entail strict monitoring and enforcement measures.
• Never put a garment away with spills or stains on it. The warmth of a closet
and exposure to natural or artificial light and to the atmosphere can contribute to
setting a stain.
• Do not iron stained or soiled clothes; this will set stains and drive the soil deeper
into the fabric. Always have soiled clothes cleaned or washed before ironing.
• Do not attempt home spot removal with either water or a cleaning fluid without
first testing for colorfastness. Wet an exposed area, such as an inside seam, and
blot with a paper towel to make sure the color is fast.
• Never rub a stain, especially when attempting to remove a stain from silk. Blot
the stained area. This will help remove the staining substance without spreading
the stain and will avoid damaging the fabric.
• Inform your dry cleaner of the location of specific stains and any procedures you
have used to remove them, even if the stains are no longer visible.
In some cases:
• Stains oxidized and set in the fabric.
• The type of dye delicacy of the fabric can limit the degree of removal.
• The dye in the fabric is soluble (prone to bleed); removing the stain would also remove the dye from the fabric.
The more information consumers give the drycleaner and the sooner the garment is brought in, the greater the chance of satisfactory stain removal.
Perspiration can also cause problem stains, particularily on silk or wool garments. Perspiration left on a silk garment can eventually cause deterioration of the silk fibers. Repeated exposure of the garment to perspiration and body oils can create a permanent yellow discoloration and an objectable odor. In addition, perspiration can react with the dye in the fabric making it even more difficult to remove the stain. People who perspire heavily should have their clothes cleaned more frequently and might consider perspiration shields. Clothing frequently worn of heavily stained also requires frequent cleaning.

PSP Web Browsing Works!
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Internet, Video Games,
Using Wipeout Pure, a custom DNS FreeBSD local server and some hacking tricks a couple of people have been able to browse the web using their PSPs. Wipeout Pure includes an in-game link to a Sony download page that for now only states it is "Coming Soon", this sparked an idea from some people such as roto/mozy to find out just what was the page the PSP was accessing. After "sniffing" around they were able to find out just what link the PSP was accessing and set their local server running FreeBSD to redirect the PSP to their local file via custom DNS mapping. The result is being able to make a local file with some links to various pages of their choice. Not only are they able to surf the web using links, but also dialog box input via the PSP's Keyboard API. The website set up for information just has information they have gathered and promises a guide to be made available soon.
The site is down right now, but here's a mirror for now.

Gear Live Talks PSP on National Public Radio
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Announcements, Video Games,
A month or so ago, I got a call from NPR personality Laura Sydell asking about the impending launch of the Sony PSP. We spoke a bit on the phone, and I was then invited to come to the radio studio to talk at length about Sony's handheld. The studio segment recording lasted about 20 minutes, and the piece aired the other day. Of course, as with most media channels, segments are cut up. Take a listen to NPR's report on the PSP launch, and you will even get to hear me mention an outdated way of putting video onto the device!

Last month weeks ago we reported on a new web application that allows users to organize and archive their textual content. The idea was excellent but the execution was a little weak. Members had to cut and paste their textual content to bbBuddy. The site has just released a new bookmarklet that automatically fills in the subject, body and source of every post that you highlight with your mouse. Now you can archive your textual content with just 2 clicks. Unfortunately, it looks like it only works on a Windows box with later versions of Internet Explorer or Firefox. If you leave comments on blogs, or post on a message board, you may want to try this.

Transparent Desktop Screens
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop,
It's always great to see what some free time, creativity, a notebook, and a digital camera can do. The results are illusions of transparent desktops on various notebooks. At first you might say, "Ah, that's easy" (much like I said at first) – boy was I wrong. These are harder to accomplish then it seems. You must first get the right angle with your camera, take the shot, upload it, set it as your desktop and adjust the screen to match. Seems pretty simple, right? Try it out for yourself and let us know how the result came out.

PSP Problems - Dead Pixels
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Video Games,
I got my shiny new PSP today at Gamestop. There I was, all psyched up and ready to roll. I was prepared to experience the joy that comes will all things new and electronic - and BAM! Three dead pixels on the right hand side. Many have reported that this is a problem with their PSP's. This is most likely due to the fact that Sony ramped up production to get a million units ready for the US launch. I just returned from my local Gamestop, and unfortunately they have no PSP's in stock (surprise!), and they don't know when they will receive more. I did manage to get them to agree to call me as soon as they get one for exchange. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Characters Change! - Looking at Pictures
Lesson 9 of 10
Objective: SWBAT describe characters in a story as they respond to major events and challenges and analyze how they develop and interact from the beginning to the end of the text.
- 'Characters Change' powerpoint -see resources in 'Teacher's Turn (It might be worth printing out the pictures. My kids wanted to see the pictures when they illustrated and it was hard to go back and forth between the slides)
- character template
- 'Characters Change' worksheet
- 'Story Elements' headers (cut apart)
- 11x13 paper to mount worksheet and character (optional)
- set up your whiteboard/chart to look like the worksheet (for modeling)-see reflection for changes in headings for that chart
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: beginning, middle, end, characters, setting, problem, solution, action or events
Resources (3)
Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words.
Bring students to a common starting point
- "Today we are going to talk more about characters. We know that characters are introduced in the beginning of the story. In the middle of the story, they have a problem. By the end of the story, there is usually a solution and many times, the character has changed. The characters change over the course of the story."
- "Let's look at some characters that change over the course of a text (or during the text)." (Show 'Characters Change' powerpoint pictures and identify characters)
- "We'll be looking at physical changes that we can see, but also how the characters change in feelings, thoughts, and challenges that they face."
My perspective is that it's engaging to introduce this idea using familiar movie/cartoon characters because the kids should start from the known and bridge to the unknown. I chose characters from these movies/books because they really change over the course of a story, in feelings, appearance, and other ways. I want to teach this first lesson with pictures only and get the kids used to thinking about character traits and how they are evidence in the illustration. In the next lesson, Characters Change - Read to Find Out How, I'll use the same activity but we'll look at short stories, instead of just pictures.
The Teacher Takes A Turn
Explain the lesson ideas
- "We have talked about the elements of a story. Let's review really quickly what they are." (Put the 'story element' headers on the board as you mention them.)
- characters - people and animals in the story
- setting - where and when the story happens
- events/action - what happens in the story
- problem - what happens to the characters in the story
- solution - how the characters are changed in the story.
I introduced these literature elements in several previous lessons. If your students need more opportunity to practice identify story elements, here links to those early 'literature text features' lessons: Who's In the Book and What Are They Doing?, When, Where, and What's the Problem, and Who Done it - Let's Play Clue and Ask Questions?
- "Today we are talking about characters. Let's think about how the characters on the powerpoint were different at the end of the story than at the beginning.
- How did they change?" Take ideas.
- "In the beginning, characters have traits. They change in the story when they are faced with a problem in the middle of the story. By the end of the story there is a solution and the character traits are different."
- "You can compare and contrast the character before and after the problem. That means that we look at how she/he is different and how she is the same."
- "Character traits help us contrast the description of characters from the beginning to the end of the story. Here are some ideas of different traits that characters might have... tell me what these words mean to you" (slide 7) take ideas
- description - what the character looks like - big, short, thin, clothing, hair
- feelings - how does the character feel in the beginning - scared, happy, alone....
- thoughts - what is he/she thinking - they want a friend, they are not brave
- challenges - what is hard for the character to do, what does the character need to do
Model the skill
- "Let's take a look at Cinderella (slide 8) and compare and contrast how she changed in the story."
- Refer to the chart on the whiteboard.
- "I'll think about how her description changed ... here eyes are blue in both pictures - I won't write that. Yes, her clothes looked boring and later she looked like a princess. her hair was down at the beginning and she had no gloves or makeup. At the end, she had beautiful clothes, long gloves, and mascara and eye shadow."
- "Her feelings changed too. She liked animals, but that trait did not change. She was tired and frustrated at the beginning, but happy, felt wonderful and nice to her sisters at the end."
Guided Practice
- "Help me with the other parts of her description."
- "What are her thoughts?" (my kids' ideas... at the beginning she feels she can't do it all and wants to go to the dance. By the end, she broke her slipper, forgot the time, lost her shoe and wanted to marry the prince)
- "What are her challenges? What is hard for her that will be easy at end? - her problem (my kids' ideas... there's a mean cat and sisters, no dress or coach for the dance at the beginning, and at the end, she has to be home by 12:00, her shoe fell off and broke)
- "This character really changed! In the beginning, she was very different, but then there was a problem and she changed in the middle of the story. By the end of the story when there was a solution and her character traits were different!"
- Here's what my chart looked like at the end of the session.
Explain the craft
- "Now I'll illustrate the character to show that she changed. If I can illustrate the character, it shows that I understand the difference in the traits from the beginning to the end of the story."
- "Fold this paper in 1/2 and cut on the black lines and then unfold it. On the left is the character at the beginning and the character at the end is on the right. In the beginning, how did she look, how was her hair, makeup? What about the end?" (I would suggest using crayons so the kids have a face color)
- Here's an example of my Cinderella characters.
Resources (2)
Students' Turn
Explain the task
- "Now it's your turn to describe a character at the beginning and end of a text."
- "Think about those character traits that will change at the end of the text because of the problem or challenges the character faced that changed them."
- "When you're done, you'll have a chance to illustrate your characters."
- "Pick a character from the powerpoint or you can select a character that you want, but you must ask me first. Fill out the worksheet first and let me know when you're done."
As students examine the changes in the character over the course of the text (RL.2.3) and how the story structure affects these changes (RL.2.5), they are learning how to interact with text, a new focus with the Common Core Standards. 'Close readers' are those that examine character traits and changes as they read. This is not an innate skill - we need to model and give students practice with this character analysis. When students are able to use this analysis independently, they are deepening their comprehension, understanding how the author sets up the story and looking at character changes to better see how the story elements interact.
Monitor students' work
- Follow up with students who need prompting.
- You may want to accept ideas about other characters, although not all characters work with this activity. One of my students suggested the 'Gingerbread Man' but I told her that she could not describe much about a cookie that was eaten at the end of the story. :)
- This is what 2 worksheets looked like: student worksheet 1 and student worksheet 2.

Apply What You've Learned!
Explain the activity
- "I will give you a few minutes to illustrate the before/after of your character. I am passing out the paper and I'll show you how to fold it. Then you'll cut on the lines, but don't cut on the side" (reference the side of the fold. I would do this as a class and have extra copies)
- Now that you have 2 characters, you can illustrate the character traits. On the left you should draw the character at the beginning of the story. Then on the right, draw the character that changed over the course of the story. "
- "You'll have 10 minutes to do this and then we'll take turns sharing."
Discuss the ideas
- (Optional) Now glue them on the big paper like this." Here are 2 examples: student worksheet and characters 1 and student worksheet and characters 2.
- "Who would like to share their character? I want to know who it is and how they changed from the beginning to the end of the story. Do you think they faced their challenges and became a better character?"
- Take turns, continuing to use the words "over the course of the text", "character traits"... all the words that we've emphasized.
- "You have done a GREAT job identifying the traits of the characters in the story. You've been able to identify how they changed from the beginning to the end of the story, related to the problem and solution. These characters faced challenges and developed or changed."
- "Our next step is to take what we've done today to the next level. We'll be reading a story about a new character and doing the same activity - identifying the traits and how that character changes over the course of the text based on what we read, instead of what we've see in a movie. I think you're ready for the challenge!!"
Ideas for Scaffolding and Special Education - This lesson can be scaffolded up and down, depending on the level of your students.
With one of my special education students, we had to take time to review the story that he chose, because he was not able to clearly verbalize all of the events. Once we talked about what happened in the story, he did well with ideas. Several students needed some prompting with ideas, which could be addressed by writing clues on their slates on the desks.
For students with stronger academic skills, they could really be challenged with this lesson! There is opportunity for higher level vocabulary (excited vs happy, crabby vs mad), more inferences that really explain their ideas (not just 'she wanted to dance' but 'she wished she could have more treasure). By challenging these students to go deeper and make more inferences with higher level vocabulary, you are truly individualizing.

GREAT NECK, N.Y. — A tiny village on Long Island's "gold coast" is banning smoking on public sidewalks.
The Great Neck village board approved the ban at a meeting Tuesday night. It claims to be the first municipality in the state to enact such a restriction.
Mayor Ralph J. Kreitzman says the ban was enacted after officials got complaints about smokers standing outside stores in the village. He says the law will also benefit pedestrians who might have been subjected to second-hand smoke.
Kreitzman says violators found smoking on sidewalks in the 1.2-square-mile village could face fines of up to $1,000.
Neighboring New York City is currently considering a smoking ban in parks and pedestrian plazas.

Out of the Box: Appreciating the chaos
By Camille Nesler
So many times in life we tend to take the good things for granted. Our
family, children, friends, home…the list goes on and on. Certain
people become so much a part of us that we think they'll always be
there when we need them. We don't ever stop to think, "What would
happen if I lost all of this?"
We only think of what we had when it's gone…and then it's too late.
The truth is, we should never take anything for granted. Not a single
person and not a single day. Yes, everyone knows this. But sometimes,
we're reminded in ways we'd rather not be.
At this time of year most of us are naturally thinking about all the
excitement of the holiday season; Santa Claus and his reindeer, gifts
for family and friends, decorating the tree, holiday dinners, office
parties and church activities.
But while most of us are celebrating this festive season, some
families out there will be struggling with loss.
Consider yourself blessed if you're not one of those.
All of us are guilty of getting caught up in the daily grind of, well,
LIFE in general. My mom used to say "stop and smell the roses" but it
took me a long time to grasp the full extent of what she was saying.
After all, my days are pretty hectic. As soon as I get off work,
everyone is clamoring for my time and attention. Kids are demanding to
know what's for dinner, asking for help with homework projects and
arguing with each other over various toys, games and television
programs. Two seconds after I walk through the door, some neighborhood
child will be ringing the doorbell wanting to play or visit or sell me
some sort of fundraising item. The phone will be ringing, the hamsters
will be banging their food dishes or rattling their exercise wheel and
I'll have ten different projects I need to work on before the night is
over. Most weeks you can also throw in girl-scout meetings, football
games, and church activities. Since it's the holidays, you can also
add practices for the Christmas play and holiday shopping to the list.
It's total chaos. But it's MY chaos and I'm grateful for it. I think
of all the people out there who would give anything to have just one
more night of chaos with the loved ones they've lost … and while I
sometimes do get stressed and tired, thinking, "I never have any time
to myself" I turn right around in the next breath and thank God that I
DON'T actually have the "time to myself."
The song "Live like you were dying" was written by songwriter Tim
Nichols and made famous a few years ago by Tim McGraw. It's about a
fellow who finds out he only has a short time to live and all the
things he did with that time. The song speaks of the wisdom we would
gain if we would truly realize that life is very precious and very
It's one thing to sing those words but it's far better to live by them.
The new year will be here shortly, so how about we all take the time
to appreciate the blessings in our lives, from the smallest and most
insignificant things to the very largest.
May we all "love deeper, speak sweeter" and "give the forgiveness
we've been denying," realizing that the most important thing in this
world is about enjoying family — and life — while we still can.

Prelaw Education at Chicago State University
Chicago State University offers a number of courses and activities designed to prepare students for law school. At CSU, there is no specific major in "pre law." Unlike fields such as medicine, law schools do not require a particular major; the most common majors are political science, English, history, economics, psychology, and accounting/finance, but many other majors are also represented. Our students are urged to major in a challenging field they enjoy, supplementing their major coursework with additional English classes, philosophy classes, economics classes, and any other courses stressing development of strong writing and critical thinking skills

10 Questions for Gina Kolata
Gina Kolata is an award-winning science and medicine reporter for the New York Times and the author of many books, including, "Clone: The Road to Dolly and the Path Ahead", "The Baby Doctors: Probing the Limits of Fetal Medicine", "Sex in America", the best-selling "Flu: The Story of the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus that Caused It" , and "Ultimate Fitness: The Quest for Truth about Health and Exercise."
Her new book is "Rethinking Thin: The New Science of Weight Loss — and the Myths and Realities of Dieting."
Kolata's career in journalism began when she joined Science magazine in 1971, where she selected reviewers for manuscripts. She eventually became a writer and then senior writer. She also wrote for a wide variety of newspapers and magazines, including Science Magazine, Smithsonian, GQ and Ms. Magazine. She earned her bachelor's degree in microbiology and her master's degree in applied mathematics from the University of Maryland. She studied molecular biology at M.I.T. in a Ph.D. program.
In Ultimate Fitness, you set out to discover the truth of the exercise industry and found much of fitness claims to be misleading. In your most recent work, Rethinking Thin, you blast those in the obesity industry, who promote the idea that overweight is unhealthy and diet and exercise to be effective. What prompted your interest in the study of diet, exercise and weight-loss?
I got interested in the exercise industry because I spend a lot of time exercising and at gyms and I kept hearing all sorts of things that did not seem to make a lot of scientific sense, like the "fat-burning zone." I was interested in diet and weight loss because of my experience as a reporter. I have been writing about major research on weight and weight loss for decades, and these often involved discoveries that seemed pathbreaking. Yet the public, and the diet industry, kept on saying that all you have to do to lose weight is just eat less and exercise more.
What are some of the biggest core beliefs of dieting and weight-loss that you found to be incorrect?
The idea that anyone can be arbitrarily thin is at the top of the list. Then comes the idea that thinner people could easily be fat if they just let themselves go. Or the idea that people gain weight because they have emotional problems and are using food to fill an unmet need. Or that if you just walk for 20 minutes or so a day those unwanted pounds would melt away. Or that if you take junk foods out of the schools and re institute pe kids would not gain weight.
Is one's weight a matter of genetics or lifestyle, or both?
It's both. Genetics sets a weight range that is comfortable for you. But if you were living in a place where you could not get food, genetics would make no difference.
Are Americans getting fatter? Is there really an epidemic of obesity and especially, childhood obesity?
Americans on average have gotten heavier over the years, but the average increase is 5 to 7 pounds. It's greater at the high end of the weight range. Women are no heavier today than they were in the 1990′s.
At the conclusion of Rethinking Thin, you cite that, in some societies, obesity used to be considered a sign of health. Why has fat transformed from something to be revered to something now reviled?
All anyone can do is speculate. Some social scientists think it is a social class thing – poorer people tend to be fatter. When food was expensive, the wealthy were fatter.
Numerous studies have emerged in the past several years showing health benefits of fat in findings that have now become known as the "obesity paradox." Yet, these studies often get little to no media playtime, while alarmist studies purporting to show the health hazards of fat get top billing. Why are the former ignored or attacked, and the latter sensationalized?
The health benefit studies get a lot of publicity, but I agree that they seem to be taken less seriously by the public than the alarmist stories. You are as qualified as I am to figure out why. It probably has a lot to do with weight and social class and a sort of societal view that people who are fatter than fashion dictates are self indulgent and deserving of disdain.
It has been suggested that yo-yo dieting poses more of a health risk for dieters, than had they not lost the weight at all. Based on your research, do you agree or disagree?
I am not familiar with convincing, rigorous research that answers this question.
In Rethinking Thin, you contend that the diet industry often only succeeds in fattening the pocketbooks of a multi-billion dieting industry, while hopeful dieters lose only money. Why then do so many Americans continue to buy in to the thin American dream?
In my book, I discuss the work of psychologists who asked why people repeatedly diet when ever time they regain the weight. They concluded that there is a reward to dieting – at first, when the weight falls off, people feel great, in control, about to embark on a new phase of their lives. Then, when it comes back, they blame themselves for having been weak or given in to temptation. When a new diet comes around, they are ready to try again, and once again get that initial euphoria.
That may be part of it.
Another part may be the persistent messages from doctors, the media, friends and family that excess weight is unhealthy and unattractive and that all it takes to lose weight is a little bit of exercise and will power.
Despite the fact that science does not seem to back their claims, obesity researchers continue to promote obesity as a major health risk. Why has obesity become the nation's whipping boy?
I go into this a lot in my book, but there is no short or easy answer.
At the conclusion of Rethinking Thin, you write that you see a major paradigm shift coming soon about diets that will radically change how we think about weight-loss; research, you say, that is "starting to open doors." Yet, many in the fat acceptance movement see these same doors continuously slammed shut. Are you optimistic about the direction obesity-related research is taking?
I think the research will be revealing more and more about how and why weight is controlled. That does not necessarily mean that there will be a wonder drug that will allow people to weigh whatever they want. It may be that there are so many controls on weight that if you disable one, another will take over. And that makes sense – it is so important for survival to have some fat on your body that the brain may well have evolved lots of overlapping controls. But maybe someday society will accept what science is finding and not demand that everyone meet weight standards that are only achievable by the very few.

WKZO to WWMT - Fetzer Broadcasting to Sinclair Communications
Here is a history timeline for Newschannel 3, from the station's inception to the launch of the Lori Moore Show in 2014:
3/05/01 Mr. John Earl Fetzer (JEF) was born in Decatur, IN and married Rhea Yeager in 1926 in Benton Harbor.
1919 Mr. Fetzer received a license for a general amateur radio station.
April 1923 Mr. Fetzer started 8ZA, an experimental radio station while a student at Emmanuel Christian College (now Andrews University) in Berrien Springs. The success encouraged the college to start KFGZ, the Radio Lighthouse. The call letters were changed to WEMC in 1925.
In 1930 The college was unwilling to allow the solicitation of donations and it was a non-commercial operation, so due to financially being under, the college looked to sell the station. John Fetzer purchased WEMC for $5,000 from Emmanuel Christian College.
September 1, 1931 Mr. Fetzer moved WEMC to Kalamazoo and changed the call letters to WKZO. The radio station was owned by Mr. Fetzer until his death in 1991.
In 1939 WKZO won the landmark "590 Case" with a ruling from the FCC, which granted nighttime broadcasts using a directional radio antenna. The ruling allowed 3-5,000 additional radio stations to go on the air.
March 17, 1939 WKZO suite of offices and studios at Burdick Hotel are near completion. The entire west wing of the 7th floor accommodates the radio station.
1940 WKZO extended its coverage to 18 hours a day. Programs include Tigers baseball, "Helen Hayes Theater," the "Kate Smith Hour," "Lux Radio Theater," and "Amos and Andy."
7/14/40 WKZO joined the CBS network. WKZO was the exclusive outlet in Michigan, outside of Detroit. It was the 120th station to join CBS, which was the largest network.
1944 Mr. Fetzer was appointed Assistant Director of Censorship for Broadcasting by President Roosevelt.
1945 General Eisenhower approved the appointment of JEF and other distinguished journalists and broadcasting executives to conduct a National Association of Broadcasting (NAB) inspection tour of radio stations in Europe.
3/4/47 WWDT (now WDIV) Detroit Channel 4 began experimental broadcasts and was the first Michigan television station.
1949 Mr. Fetzer was granted a license for a television station in Kalamazoo and assigned Channel 3.
1/1/49 WKZO inaugurated its new "block long radio city" on the 2nd floor of the Burdick Hotel in downtown Kalamazoo. It moved from the 7th floor.
6/1/50 Mr. Fetzer turned to television. With a group of engineers and a room at the Burdick Hotel in downtown Kalamazoo, Mr. Fetzer's dream was soon a reality and WKZO-TV 3 debuted as West Michigan's CBS affiliate on June 1, 1950. Fetzer Broadcasting signed on WWMT as WKZO-TV3 (KalamaZoO), west Michigan's 2nd television station after WLAV (WOOD), which signed on 8/15/49, and the 2nd CBS in Michigan after WLNS (Lansing). Originally WKZO was part of the South Bend DMA. The station was the nation's 102nd station and Michigan's 5th.
From sign on, WKZO-TV was simultaneously the CBS, NBC and ABC Affiliates for SW Michigan. Starting in 1960 WZKO dropped the NBC sign and then shared the ABC signal with WOOD. Some nights it would televise CBS and other nights ABC. WKZO-TV dropped its ABC affiliation in 1962 when the FCC permitted WZZM to broadcast its Channel 13 signal on VHF channel 12 in the Kalamazoo area. The tower was on North 47th Street in Oshtemo Township.
Through the 1950s and 1960s, viewers enjoyed a variety of local live shows. Starting in 1955, Monday through Friday, kids were the stars of the "Channel 3 Clubhouse," a West Michigan staple until 1980. The last show was taped on January 30, 1980. Many baby boomers made their television debut on the Clubhouse.
Saturday was for Rem Wall and the Green Valley Boys on the "Green Valley Jamboree." Their country-western music was a hit for years, and members of the original band still perform now and then. His final WKZO broadcast was 11/29/1980.
At lunch time viewers enjoyed "Feminine Fancies," which later became "Accent." The original television host was Peg Small, who was the first female Mr. Fetzer had on air.
7/9/50 WKZO began transmission of regularly scheduled programs. Prior to this, the station had been airing test patterns and afternoon movies. WKZO became a basic CBS network station; but a few programs were picked up from the other networks. WKZO became one of 20 network stations selected to carry all top CBS programs.
1952 Mr. Fetzer became the first Chair of the Television Code Review Board of the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters, serving until 1955.
4/5/53 Newscaster Hugh Harper did the first live WKZO-TV local newscast. It was 5 minutes long at midday. In Sept. it moved and developed into a 15-min. newscast. It was a 3-man news team titled "News, Views and Sports" with Dr. Willis Dunbar, who did the national news and Len Colby, who read sports.
8/13/54 WKZO started transmitting with the world's largest television antenna; and the power increased to 10,000 watts.
1956 Mr. Fetzer purchased six acres at 590 W. Maple Street in Kalamazoo and broke ground to move the television and radio stations to the Fetzer Broadcast House. The land had been occupied by Keegan Motor Sales. The television and radio stations moved into the remodeled car dealership on June 1958. It has undergone extensive changes throughout the years and continues to morph as the industry needs change.
1956 Mr. Fetzer acquired the Detroit Tigers from the Briggs family for $5.5M as part owner and became full owner in 1961. WKZO became the television home of the Tigers in West Michigan to the delight of thousands of viewers who witnessed the team's World Series win in 1968. Mr. Fetzer sold the Tigers to Tom Monahan in 1983 for $53M.
1960 1,100 foot transmitter was built near the northern edge of Gun Lake, which was within 15 miles of Kalamazoo as required by the FCC, yet reached into the City of Grand Rapids. This made WKZO move it's DMA from South Bend to Grand Rapids.
1968 Color television came to Channel 3 with the station's first color film processor. "Living color" was a big step, but was consistent with John Fetzer's willingness to embrace technology and take risks.
Throughout the 1970s, WKZO and "NewsActive 3" covered West Michigan events. The remote cameras were seen in Holland at Tulip Time, in Grand Rapids for the Festival of the Arts, in Battle Creek at the Balloon Festival and in Kalamazoo for the Holiday Parade. From elections to festivals, Channel 3 was West Michigan's choice for local television!
12/3/85, Mr. Fetzer sells the television station to George Gillette's Gillette Holdings (Vail Resorts, Inc.). Mr. Fetzer did keep the radio stations. One era ended and a new chapter began to be written by the separate owners. The agreement allowed the radio station to remain in the building.
12/5/85 The television call letters were changed to WWMT (We're West Michigan Television).
8/27/87 Larry Busse purchased WWMT from George Gillette, along with KOLN, WEAU, KOKH, WRLH and Winnebago Color Press.
2/1/89 The first "Hello West Michigan" commercial is recorded in front of the State Theater.
4/24/89 WWMT Morning News debuted with Cindy Dole.
2/20/91 Mr. Fetzer passed away in Hawaii.
2/10/92 WWMT launched News 3 Midday. It was launched as a 15-minute segment during the Winter Olympics aired by CBS. After the Olympics (2/24/92) the show moved to one half hour. The show was hosted by Cindy Dole and Dennis House.
9/4/94 WWMT launched 5:30pm newscast hosted by Cindy Dole, Jamie Boll and Keith Thompson.
10/24/94 Jamie Boll moved from Midday (noon) and 5:30pm to main 6p/11pm anchor, replacing Barry Shanley.
12/4/94 Jim Mertens moved from weekends to replace Jamie at noon and 5:30pm.
6/1/95 Granite Broadcasting purchased WWMT for $95M.
At the end of 1995, WKZO radio moved out of the 590 W. Maple Street location and the television station remodeled its lobby, the radio side and back offices to be more efficient.
8/12/96 Morning news expanded to 6a-8a with hosts Amy Rutledge and Ron Boyd and evening news expanded to 5p-5:30p, hosted by Dave Balut and Meredith Swanson Boll.
8/26/96 Storm Tracker weather system debuted. The system integrated live radar data with the computer technology to pinpoint exact locations of strong weather.
9/7/96 Saturday/Sunday 7a-9a news blocks started hosted by Peter Sack and Diane Daniels Pilarski.
10/17/96 WWMT/Granite did a LMA (leased marketing agreement) with WLAJ.
10/28/96 New news set, graphics and music were unveiled on air with a large video wall, in-studio weather center and pivotal anchor desk.
7/15/1998, WWMT Channel 3 began writing another chapter in its long broadcasting history when it became part of the Freedom Communications family for $150M. Freedom also had the ability to change the WLAJ LMA to a station owned by Freedom for $19M; and it continued to be operated by WWMT. Freedom Communications was a privately owned diverse media company of newspapers, television stations and interactive media businesses. Freedom published 28 daily and 37 weekly newspapers, and the broadcast division included eight stations including five CBS and three ABC network affiliates.
2000 Channel 3 has celebrated its Golden Anniversary and the new millennium unfolded before us.

Pomeranian Dogs can make good pets in Canada if they match your IifestyIe. The Pomeranian is a poufy, fox-like toy breed. Pomeranians are vivacious and intelligent. This breed may become skittish around very young, rambunctious kids. Pomeranians need consistent, thorough obedience training. Pomeranians do fine living in an apartment if they get enough exercise.

Cameron dating the real Iron Man
Cameron Diaz's dating choices! What is with this woman's love life? There is no logic, no pattern, no algorithm to explain who she takes to bed and I'm more confused than ever now that she's reportedly with Elon Musk, according to Page Six. That's his name. Will we grow to get used to it? Ask Elin Nordegren.
Musk is a tech mogul who invented PayPal, among other geeky businesses that made me feel useless when I read about them. He's supposedly the real life inspiration for Tony Stark and is worth $4.5 billion, which makes Cameron's paycheques look like minimum wage. Their introduction was a totally classic love story. Boy owns green energy car corporation, girl wants to drive fast without the guilt, girl buys car from boy with her Shrek money, boy starts doing her regularly, Page Six breaks the news.
Now, is it that surprising that a beautiful woman is falling for a super rich guy? Nope. But look at who she's dated. Vincent D'Onofrio, Matt Dillon, Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake, A-Rod, Diddy, a potpourri of questionable choices but those are some pretty f*ckable dudes. When you look at that dating pool, does Cam-ron D's destiny doesn't really point to a only-maybe-cute CEO?
That's what had me so confused...that is until I started talking to Lainey about it and she connected the dots:
It's GOOP!
We all know about Cam and Gwynnie's kitchen counter therapy sessions and this shift in Cameron's dating from douches to a billionaire seems SO puppet mastered by GP. Now they can finally buy that yoga/non-surgical cosmetic procedure island they've always talked about!
A few fun details about Elon - he went to Queen's University (me too!), and used to be married to an actress named Talula Riley, who you probably wouldn't recognize. So this is an upgrade for him as well. Attached are some pictures of Cammie arriving at JFK. She apparently was overheard on the flight cooing over Uma Thurman's baby, so maybe there will be an Elon or Cameron Jr. on the way...just as GOOP planned.

Mohegan Sun faces grim reality
The 355 layoffs at Mohegan Sun this week are demonstrative of the difficult task the state and nation face in digging out of the persistent economic slump. The public is told it is no longer a recession because the Gross Domestic Product is slowly growing. But as they say, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...
The loss of jobs at the region's two tribal casinos - Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino - is both a symptom of the economic malaise and a development that will make things worse locally.
When the housing bubble burst three years ago, it laid bare an underlying economic weakness. Exacerbating the downfall in the economy was the collapse of reckless Wall Street investments based on bad mortgages. In short order, the housing market collapsed, consumer buying slowed, individuals saw their retirement savings evaporate, job losses mounted and government deficit spending ballooned.
During the post-9/11 recession, the two casinos had acted as a buffer for the region, continuing to grow jobs, bolstered by consumers who still felt they had sufficient disposable income for gaming and the other amenities offered by the resort destinations.
Such was not the case in this recession. Consumers, uneasy about the poor job market, their diminished retirement accounts and lower home values, have trimmed recreational spending. Casino management, it appears, has finally come to recognize this as a fundamental shift in consumer behavior and not a short-lived change.
To their credit, tribal management avoided layoffs for as long as it could, depending on natural job attrition to cut costs while awaiting a recovery. But if revenues do not support labor costs, at some point something has to give.
And so a downward cycle continues, with hundreds of laid-off casino workers now having less buying power and greater financial insecurity, all to the detriment of other businesses in the region and to consumer confidence.
Only good and lasting job growth will break the cycle. The state must do all it can to make Connecticut business-friendly by streamlining regulations and simplifying paperwork.
The next governor and legislature must get an honest budget passed, providing a stable environment for business investment, rather than the existing uncertainty about how the fiscal crisis will be handled. Connecticut must focus its education system on training and retraining workers in fields where jobs are growing, such as technology and health care.
When the casinos are hiring again, it will be a sign the patient is recovering. As of now, the prognosis remains poor.
The editorial board is composed of the publisher and four journalists of varied editing and reporting backgrounds. The board's discussions and information gained from its meetings with political, civic, and business leaders drive the institutional voice of The Day, as expressed in its editorials. The editorial department operates separately from the newsroom.

Cholo Victory
|Cholo Victory
A drunk Phil Cassidy talking to Victor Vance at his business in Viceport
|GTA Vice City Stories
|Phil Cassidy
|Cholo gang member
|Viceport, Vice City
Boomshine Blowout
|Unlocked by
|Conduct Unbecoming
Cholo Victory is a mission for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by Phil Cassidy from Phil's Depot in Viceport, Vice City. The mission becomes available after completing Conduct Unbecoming.
Victor goes by Phil's Depot in order to get some work. Phil, who is drunk, at first does not recognize Victor but eventually realizes who he is. Phil says that he wants to kill some Cholo gang members and attempts to drive his Walton but crashes into a wall. Phil tells Victor to drive him to the police station in Little Havana to look for some Cholo gang members. However, there are no Cholo gang members so Phil tells Victor to drive to the West Haven Community Center, also in Little Havana.
Phil spots a Cholo, who recognizes Phil's face and runs to his car. Victor and Phil begin to chase the Cholo and, when they get close enough, Phil begins to shoot. The car blows up, killing the Cholo. Phil instructs Victor to go to the Pay N' Spray to repair his car and then to drive him back to the Depot.
Victor Vance: Phil? Hey, are you there?
Phil Cassidy: Put yer hands where I can see 'em, boy. You think you can come here and rob me? Probably try to rape me? I know your kind...
Victor Vance: Phil - it's me - Vic. Your brother in arms.
Phil Cassidy: I'm gonna teach you a lesson. Lower your pants and prepare to cry. I'm gonna give you a shotgun suppository.
Victor Vance: PHIL! It's me. Vic. Vic Vance!
Phil Cassidy: Vic! Why didn't you say so? Good to see you brother. C'mere. Let me squeeze a fart out of ya. I'm sorry about Bruce man. He was the best. I can still see the smile on his face when he shot that little gook. Bang! Go to hell... Damn...
Victor Vance: Have you been drinking?
Phil Cassidy: What do you think? Listen, we gotta go. I got something to show you. Come on. Come on! Come on! Now!
Victor Vance: Hold on... you're gonna drive?
(Victor and Phil leave the depot and enter Phil's Walton).
Phil Cassidy: Let's go! YEEE-HAAAR!
(Phil hits a wall when he starts driving)
Victor Vance: Maybe I should drive, man.
Phil Cassidy: Damn stick-shift!
(Victor begins to drive Phil to the police station in Little Havana).
Phil Cassidy: Vic, we're gonna drive-by on some Cholo. I know where we can pick up their trail... I'm just trying to make an honest living, man... but they're organized. I can't compete, man... you know this used to be a fine country...
(If Victor crashes)
Phil Cassidy: Which road you driving on? I'm seeing double, you better not be an Australian man.
(Victor then drives Phil to the police station in Little Havana).
Phil Cassidy: Aw, nothing... Felt for sure some Cholos would be here... Those scumbags are always crossing the law. Let's not hang around here Vic. Cops make me nervous.
Victor Vance: I hear you, man.
Phil Cassidy: Sometimes I schitz out and kill the lot of them... Say... I know another place those damn Cholos might be...
(Victor drives to the West Haven Community Center in Little Havana).
(If Victor crashes again)
Phil Cassidy: Have you been at my bottle?
Phil Cassidy: Strike two! Where are they? This could take hours. Good job I brought a little something to drink. Cholo bastard! There he is! Cholo bastard!
(Victor and Phil begin to chase the Cholo gang member).
Phil Cassidy: God dam Cholos. Who do they think they are? Messing with me! Phil Bitch-Killer Cassidy!
(If Victor crashes into the Cholo Sabre ).
Phil Cassidy: YEEHARR! This is some fancy driving!
(The Cholo Sabre blows up and the Cholo gang member is killed).
Phil Cassidy: We're gonna need to get my car fixed up, Vic. Old girl ain't looking so good.
(Victor drives to the Pay N' Spray and the car is repaired).
Phil Cassidy: Boy! She's looking like a daisy now.
(Victor drives Phil back to Phil's Depot in Viceport).
Phil Cassidy: You're a fine wingman Vic. Damn Cholo will think twice before shitting on my patch from now on. See ya around partner, see ya 'round.
Post mission pager message
Phil Cassidy: My sister's husband, Marty, is looking for good guys like you...
The reward for completion of the mission is $200 and unlocking the missions Boomshine Blowout for Phil and Shakedown for Marty Jay Williams.

Body Nutrition
Body Nutrition Trutein - Chocolate Mint - 1814g
Body Nutrition Trutein Protein Powder - NEW Chocolate Mint (1814g/4lb)
Trutein is Body Nutrition's (formerly TruNutrition Sciences) flagship protein - an ultra-premium, multi-source protein powder designed for professional athletes and flavour connoisseurs. A gluten free, no-nonsense formulation, Body Nutrition's NEW Chocolate Mint Trutein offers a true sustained-release protein blend (45% Whey, 45% Micellar Casein & 10% Egg White), is fortified with BCAAs, Glutamine Precursors and Prebiotic Inulin (added fibre!) and, quite simply, an unbeatable taste.
A Premium Protein with Nothing to Hide
Body Nutrition make no secret of the fact that Trutein employs a multi-source protein blend. Body Nutrition don't hide the percentages or protein split in their signature blend - 45% Whey, 45% Micellar Casein, 10% Egg White. Simple as that. Whey is less than half the cost of micellar casein and egg protein so, whilst other companies may hide the ineffective, low quantities of these more expensive protein sources they sneak into their 'proprietary blend' to make a label claim, Body Nutrition do not. With Body Nutrition you know exactly what you're buying and you can rest assured that you truly are receiving the highest quality formula available.
Why do I want a multi-source protein blend?
Body Nutrition Trutein contains three different forms of protein: whey, micellar casein and egg white. The benefits of supplementing with both micellar casein and egg white alongside whey are their very different rates of absorption. While whey is quickly broken down within an hour, egg proteins are absorbed within 2.5 to 3 hours and micellar caseins are digested over the course of 7 hours (see chart on the left!). Taken together, this means that Trutein promotes stabilized total-body amino acid saturation to continually fuel muscle synthesis; it fuels growth and recovery over an extended period.
Isolates for the win!
Trutein predominantly uses the "isolate" forms of whey and micellar casein (from milk protein isolate), processed using a nonthermal, cross-flow nanofiltration system, as opposed to the "concentrate" forms, which are less pure. For every 100 grams of whey or milk protein, the isolate form yields over 90 grams of pure protein, whereas the concentrate form yields only between 34 to 80 grams of pure protein with the remainder existing as fat and lactose. Isolates are also significantly pricier than concentrates. As such, it's no surprise that Body Nutrition Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cookie Trutein, as an ultra-premium protein supplement, maximizes its use of the superior isolate form because they know that professional athletes require the competitive edge that isolates offer.
Why Body Nutrition Trutein - Chocolate Mint (1814g)?
- Literally unbelievable flavour and taste - bold, minty and chocolatey
- Tried & true sustained-released triple protein blend - 45% Whey, 45% Casein & 10% Egg White
- Over 7-hours of Total Body Amino Saturation - maximising anabolism (growth) and minimising catabolism
- 25g Protein, 5.6g BCAAs & 4.9g Glutamine Precursors per serving
- Only 2g Net Carbs
- Gluten Free, Wheat Free
- 100mg Trusorb Amino Acid Utilization Enzyme Module for increased amino acid uptake
- 2.5g Prebiotic Inulin (TruFiber) to promote digestive health and satiety
- No Added Sodium

The very same premium multi-source protein blend that's found in the new (and utterly irresistable!) Body Nutrition Magic Pudding, Trutein has recieved rave reviews the world over for its conscientiously-formulated premium quality ingredients...and it's incredible taste!
The reviews were great, the nutritionals were great...but what we tried it? Wow. That was us done! CinnaBun (a satisfying, sweet cinnamon punch...best we've ever found in a powder!), Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Red Velvet Cake, Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cookie, Chocolate Truffle, Peach Mango, Banana Cream...the list goes on!
Thanks to its mixed-source, sustained-release blend, this protein is equally at home first thing in the morning, post-workout, pre-bed...any time! Whatsmore, the casein and egg white components make it slightly easier and more manageable to bake with that whey alone (hello, CinnaBun!!) and the added fibre from the prebiotic inulin gives this protein an extra appetite-satisfaction edge, meaning it might even work as a meal-replacement in a pinch!
Yep...the flavour totally sold us on this stuff, but everything about this gluten-free Trutein protein says 'premium' (they don't even feel the need to slap a garish label complete with scary slogans and over-the-top promises on it!) and we really like to think of it as the 'swiss army knife' of protein powders.
