I think she wants to grab as much fun as possible before getting pregnant again, which I can definitely see happening this year. I'd be shocked if we get another album. 2016 is more realistic to be honest. But she's Beyoncé. You just never know.

Integrating technology in the classroom can oftentimes be a hectic and stressful process, especially with the objectives you are required to get through each and every day. To help optimize this in the most seamless way possible, you need to be thoughtful about how you want your students to utilize classroom computers and iPads with their assignments. Doing this in such a backward-planning manner can not only engage your students into the material, but also shape their responsibilities of their own learning. Eventually, this process can give rise to thoughtful classroom dynamics such as student-centered learning and research-based projects.
To start off, begin internalizing how you currently utilize technology with your students. Ask yourself a series of questions such as: Are you employing technology on a daily basis? If not, what is holding you back (lack of resources or lack of knowledge)? What assignments, other than testing, have your students been exposed to with the computers? What foundational skills do they need before using the computers (note taking skills, knowing how to research, etc.)? These questions will provide you with an introductory starting point when creating your lesson plans for the month(s). The biggest mistake you can do is assume that your students already know how to utilize these technological resources for an assignment. Think of this as a clean slate. They need to learn how to crawl before they can run.
Once you have conceptualized the basics, start thinking of the end goal for your lesson plans. For some teachers, this can be a classroom debate. For others, this can be a research paper. Whatever the case, you need to be absolutely clear what you are looking for them to accomplish from these series of lessons. This overarching end-goal will allow you identify the Common Core standards, technological mini-lesson, and overall timeframe when your lesson plans. Once you have that vision in your mind, now you are ready to create a strong and effective curriculum.
When creating your lesson plan, think of the various both the hardcore skills and Common Core standards your students should know before interacting with the computers. For example, if you are looking for your students to debate on a specific topic, make sure they know how to take notes (try Cornell Notes), the difference between fact and opinion, how to utilize evidence to support their statement, etc. These core skills can be spread across the weeks. While this is happen, try and leverage extra class time, such as Differentiated Instructions, to expose your students to the computers. These miniature assignments will allow them to build a strong foundation before the actual research timeline.
There will be a point where your students will no longer be focusing their attention on you. Instead, their focus will be on their research and the technology at hand. When this happens, think of this autonomy as a good sign. Rather than play the lead role, assume the helping hand and hover around the classroom. These miniature check-ins will allow the students to both interact with the technology and assume responsibility and ownership of their own work. To make this process more effective, try utilizing 30 to 45 minutes for two to three class periods. This is especially beneficial for students who do not have access to this type of technology at home.
Once you have hit your end-goal, understand that this is not the last step. Instead, look at this as the beginning. To continue this momentum, try incorporating new and innovative lessons and assignments that require technology assistance. Remember, the more practice they have with these resources, the stronger they will get in the long run.

On the off chance that you've ever visited a tanning salon you are all too familiar with being requested to purchase a bottle from one of the best indoor tanning lotion by the salesperson.
I dropped off the girlfriend last week at a local tanning station and was surprised when the lady at the desk requested she buys an indoor tanning lotion.
People who work at these salons are generally required by the owner to request that each customer purchase a bottle of lotion because they make a huge profit on it. In any case, using an amazing lotion is really an extremely smart move.
There are such a large number of tanning bed lotions available today that it is overpowering most definitely when trying to choose which one to use during your session.
There are many brands and a handful of various types that you can browse. The fundamental types are bronzers, tingle and standard lotions (with no tingle or bronzing ingredients). A few lotions you will find are really a combination of bronzer and tingle formulas, however these aren't extremely common.
All tanning lotions will likewise have no less than a couple of additional ingredients in their formulas for skin moisturization and protection, and most by far have numerous extra ingredients too and that is the thing that really separates one lotion from the other.
You will see things like hemp seed oil, anti-aging mixes and skin firming compounds on the labels of generally lotions. A few products are so advanced in their formulation that the cost for a solitary bottle can reach over a hundred dollars.
Regardless of whether it is justified, despite all the trouble to spend that much on a bottle of lotion is far from being obviously true yet one thing is without a doubt, on the off chance that you go into a tanning bed and don't apply an indoor tanning lotion to your skin you hazard being burnt, getting an uneven tan and accelerating conceivable skin damage.
Bronzer lotions are presumably the most popular and they are marketed as the quickest ways to a deep, dark tan – which is the thing that the vast majority want who go to a tanning salon, and sometimes they simply would prefer not to wait, they want to be tan at this point! What separates bronzers from alternate types is their additional ingredients that promote and quicken skin browning.
Their formulas work with the natural composition of your skin to give you stunning dark color in a generally short amount of time. On the off chance that you use a bronzer tanning lotion during your sessions you can expect to look detectably darker in as few as two visits to the salon.
The important thing to recall is that skin tanning can expose you to health risks on the off chance that you don't avoid potential risk – so ensure and nourish your skin previously, then after the fact a session by using a brilliant indoor tanning lotion.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I'm doing something I never thought I would do: I've started going outside naked. I hold my head high with a confidence previously unimaginable, admiring the smoothness reflected back to me in mirrored surfaces and smiling at passersby. Ahh, the freedom of no longer feeling the need to wear foundation.
It wasn't easy. It took work. My skin was previously a wasteland of severe dryness and irritation with a sprinkling of spots and discoloration. Sure, I looked OK with makeup on, but I yearned for a carefree "I'll be down in 10 minutes!" zest for life instead of the "I'll meet you there in an hour" life I was living.
It's not that I don't love makeup -- I absolutely do. I've been a makeup artist for well over a decade. It still delights and excites me. I was just tired of being a slave to it. What I was doing was not working for me, so I decided to make some big changes.
"Your skin looks great these days! What are you doing?" It's a question I've gotten from several friends and colleagues since I started my new skincare journey: a Korean skincare routine. When I would launch into an excited explanation of everything, I would inevitably get a dismissive, "Oh god, I don't have the time or patience for any of that. Can't you just tell me a lotion to buy or something?"
The Korean approach to skincare is much like a workout approach: it's about overall health and sometimes to look better naked. The North American skincare approach is akin to slapping on some Spanx and hoping no one notices what lies beneath. While the main core of the North America approach seems to be the barest of minimum all-in-one products and makeup, the Korean way has a heavy focus on perfecting the skin and eradicating flaws and skin troubles. The byproduct of actively addressing the overall health, just like at the gym, is you end up looking better naked, and by naked I, of course, mean makeup-less.
A typical Korean skincare routine is split into day and night. A day routine may have anywhere between five and seven key products. A night routine -- and this is where most people balk -- can be between six and ten products. Now, don't break out your best Edna Krabapple "HA" just yet. Each product has a very specific job and can do very specific things for you.
Since the skincare lineup has so many components, it's insanely customizable. Think of it like seeing a team of highly trained specialists all the same time, instead of one jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none general practitioner with a shoddy record. And, believe it or not, you can find solace and take pleasure in the act of it all.
Here's a breakdown of my daytime routine: I start with a gentle cleanser, followed by a treatment essence. Then I apply my toner; after patting that in, my serum follows; then a few drops of vitamin C serum. Next is an emulsion mixed with a few drops of argan oil. All of that is then topped with a cream. The most important finishing step is a liberal application of fast-absorbing broad-spectrum sunscreen.
These steps result in an incredibly smooth canvas should I choose to wear makeup that day. Taking the time to do this for myself in the morning is one part meditative, one part mental cup of coffee. I get to relax in the ritual, but also gear up for everything ahead of me. It's like that Rocky training montage, only for my face.
The nighttime routine is where I really find myself blissed out, ready to unpack the day in front of my mirror. I start with a double cleansing: first an oil-based cleanser to delicately remove all traces of makeup and sunscreen, followed by my regular foam cleanser to remove the oil. Next up is my treatment essence, toner, chemical exfoliant, serum, face oil, emulsion, and finally, my night cream.
That's just the very basic version. Three or four days a week, I add the extra steps of a sheet mask and a sleeping pack to complete the grouping. Each step is applied carefully, with a mixture of gentle effleurage techniques and patting that I find extremely soothing. With the application of each product, I'm able to sit and unbraid the tangle of that day's events in my mind while erasing the day's wear on my face. The results are both mentally and visually rewarding.
In as little as a week, you can see unmistakable results, and, in my case, allowing myself that time to mentally unwind resulted in a better night's sleep. It makes sense when you compare it to the hurried face-scrubbing and slapdash application of a single cream I used do before rushing into bed to just lay there and curse myself for not falling asleep fast enough. My skin looked like crap, and I felt like crap.
Since making the switch to a Korean regimen, leaving the house without makeup is no longer an exercise in humiliation or obsessively imagining everyone on the subway was staring at whatever eruption was currently chillin' on my face. I no longer have eruptions or flakes. Mt. Vesuvius and the tundra have been replaced with a smooth, clear brilliance that I didn't know was possible.
I used to have a thousand excuses why I didn't have time to really care for skin, but now I spend my time trying to convince others they not only have the time, but that they deserve it.

DIY Fashion: Bleached Jeans!Sunday, April 22, 2012
Remember those skinnies I made earlier on? Well, I wanted white jeans for a while and didn't want to pay $40 for a pair of good ones, so I figured I might as well turn some old jeans into white skinnies and see how I liked them. Guess which jeans I used?
For this tutorial you will need:
Bleach (I used Old Dutch)
A Bucket large enough to fit your jeans
HOT water
A well ventilated area
A wooden stick
Lets get started!!
Fill your bucket 2/3 of the way with HOT water. Keep in mind that you will need to put your jeans in the bucket, and you may want to add more bleach/water to the bucket after so don't fill the bucket all the way to begin with.
Next, add 1/3 of your bucket of bleach. Basically, 2 thirds hot water, 1 third bleach. Here is a picture of my bleach.
Stir the bleach and water with the wooden stick, then add the jeans!! Use the wooden stick to stir and make sure the bleach is touching all parts of the bleach.
I didn't see much change in the jeans for the first 1-2 hours. Then they started to lighten up. I had to keep stirring them around to make sure they were bleaching evenly. If you can get your jeans to sink down in the water completely, they will definitely bleach evenly. Try using a rock or something.
If you're worried about your jeans, check them every hour or so. I checked them on the hour for the first four hours, then I went to sleep and didn't check again for about 8 hours. So in total the jeans were soaking for about 12 hours overnight. They probably would have been fine with 8 hours.
If you have darker wash jeans, they may or may not need a longer time soaking in the bleach solution. If your jeans are made of thin material like the Forever 21 jeans, your jeans may need less time.
Once your jeans have been bleached to your satisfaction, rinse them out 3-4 times in hot water and soap to get out the bleach/water, then wash them in your washing machine. And you now have bleached white jeans!
I forgot to take a picture of the jeans just laid out, but they bleached pretty well. The button did come off ...
The bleach broke down the denim around the metal. Be aware that this will probably happen to you too. I replaced the button with one that seems to fit way better with the jeans anyways ... So it wasn't much of a loss :)
And here is my attempt to show you the jeans while I'm wearing them. They look great for summer!!
So ... that's it! Happy bleaching!!
-xoxo, Jayy

The Alma Del Real case was never a missing persons case,
it was a homicide that was not being investigated
... the less missing and the less dead
Eric LaMont Gregory
Alma Del Real, perished on 12 April 2015
Alma Del Real was 22 years old and weighed some 137 pounds, which was well proportioned on her five-foot-five inch frame.
After a very well attended weeks-long community effort to find Alma Del Real following her disappearance in the wee hours of 12 April, all hope of her eventually being found safe and returned to her home, family and friends ended when her badly decomposed body was discovered in a culvert in a nearby county six weeks after she vanished.
She had spent the previous evening with friends. A male friend, now the prime suspect in her murder, claimed that he had dropped Alma Del Real off at her home. Over the next several weeks, the same boyfriend had offered police several possible scenarios as to Alma's probable fate, according to South Bend Police Department homicide Detectives.
One of those senarios suggested the involvement of the King's gang, while another offered by the suspect implied that a cartel had contact with Alma Del Real. There is no indication that alien abduction was put forth as a possible rational explanation
Only time will tell to what extent the police followed these obfuscations and how they impacted the investigation. But, it seems obvious that they did delay the police from a by-the-numbers invesatigation, which suggests that the people closest to the victim are the mostly likely suspects. And, it begs credibility as to why the phone records od those who saw here that night were not immediately used to corroborate their statements as to their whereabouts that night. The ping from rural Marshall County should had been known within the first 48 hours of the case.
The prime suspect's statements to police began to unravel, swix weeks af6ter the fact, when police compared cell phone location records to where the suspect said he had been after giving Alma a ride to her Ewing Avenue home a5t about 3am the morning of 12 April.
When police confronted the male friend of the then believed to be missing person with the inconsistencies between where his cell phone use placed him (in nearby Marshall County) when he had claimed to be elsewhere. Faced with mounting evidence of his involvement in Alma's disappearance, the suspect then led police to where Alma' remains were in fact found. A location which his cell phone records suggest that he had been in the early morning hours when Alma Del Real supposedly went missing.
Interestingly, a well respected body location organisation based in Texas, had suggested that her body would be found about 20 miles from her home in a rural area within days of her disappearance.
Although this author carries the opinion that the cell record facts could have been known the very first day of Alma's disappearance, with all due respect to the South Bend detectives working the Alma Del Real missing persons (foul play suspected?) case, distinguishing a missing person from a homicide can be rather difficult.
A difficulty, which exists not in the reality of the facts of the case, but in the scant attention paid to the disappearance of a member of the less missing / less dead class.
The Alma Del Real case was never a missing persons case, it was a homicide that was not being investigated.
In a nutshell, the problem lies in a culture that drives the administration of the police in South Bend, and neither does it reflect a defect in the skills of individual officers specifically, nor in criminal investigatory science and technique in general.
And therefore, the axiom - when the problem starts at the top, there is no one to tell.
There needs to be a fundamental rethink as to how we approach missing persons investigations.
The Problem
Based on some investigatory work this writer was privileged to be aware of overseas, I sought to discover how many coeds were missing from major universities in the United States. To make the selection as scientific as possible, I wrote the names of the six or seven big universities in Ohio on three-by-five cards, flipped them over, mixed them up and picked one. It was Ohio State University in Columbus.
There were more than 50 coeds missing from that university. In one case, a female student vanished; all her things were in her dorm room as if she had expected to return. No overnight bag was packed and no messages were left with her room or dorm-mates.
In another case, the purse of a missing coed was found near a quarry that is situated alongside one of the major interstate highways that crisscross the Buckeye State.
After talking with university and law enforcement officials, I spent some time deciphering what messages those officials wanted me to take away from our discussions.
There were two main messages that 'they' wanted me to understand:
The first, as a university, are we our students' keepers?
And second, in an area where a major university is one of the, if not the primary engine of the local economy, drawing attention to missing coeds is not good for business.
I draw the reader's attention to a related article on this site to delve further into several aspects of the Alma Del Real case.
I will probably have to file numerous 'state' freedom of information requests to get an answer, but, once it is known whichprobable cause option the police chose initially to file the Alma Del Real disappearance under, it will illustrate how seriously they took her case from the very beginning. It is most often the very beginning of a missing person's case that is the difference between its resolution, and its growing into something else.
A protocol needs to be established as to how the police react to a missing person's report in the first instance. Perhaps, the first thing that should be done, is for the police to establish a ping, that is, to ring the alleged missing person's phone and then send a standard text message from the police department itself. It is not beyond the realm of reasonable to also ping the cell phones of those known to have had contact with the missing person in the hours or even days before the missing persons report was filed. That will give the police a location and since the call and text originated from the police department itself, tracing the tower and zeroing in on the location (triangulating) of the phone, will rather quickly establish a location important to the case, whatever the nature of the investigation turns out to be.
In the Alma Del Real case, her body would not have been rotting in a culvert for weeks before the most basic investigation into her disappearance was undertaken.
Should that ping identify some reasonable location of the phone of the missing or those who were known to have been with the missing person around the time of their disappearance, such as, the phone carrier's home or the home of a friend or relative, then a few further attempts to contact might lead to a rather expeditious resolution. On the other hand, if the location of the victims phone or any of those with which the victim had lose contact over the relevant time span, is deemed to be along the banks of the river or the woods in the middle of the night, that would necessitate a different set of responses.
It should be remembered that Desirae Jones of Bremen, like Alma Del Real, was never a missing person's case. She was a homicide that simply was not being investigated for the first seven to ten days after she was killed and her body dumped and set alight in the woods. http://www.theoxfordscientist.com/michiana-murders.html
Michiana is a cluster area of unresolved missing and unsolved female homicides.
Whereas the South Bend Police Department admits there are some vague similarities between the Alma Del Real disappearance and the Nick Sams and Crystal Reyes homicide cases, looking further, we cannot forget that within Michiana, there are a host of unresolved missing females.
Again, this author is trying to ascertain if any of the current lists of the Michiana missing are categorized as foul play suspected.
And, speaking of similar occurrences, from a crime investigatory perspective, the disappearance of Elizabeth Elena Laguna Salgado might be instructive.
Simply stated, there is a long and growing, alarmingly so, list of unresolved missing and unsolved female homicides in Michiana.
Although numbers cannot speak for themselves, it is customary for policing to mirror criminal activity--if there is a rash of burglaries, resources are allocated to restore public confidence in their safety within their own homes; an accident hot spot is met with increased patrolling in the area and an investigation into why a particular area is prone to accidents, such things as road condition, signing, speed and road markings would all naturally be looked into.
In that frame of thinking, a task force to investigate the cluster of unresolved female disappearances and unsolved female homicides in the Michiana area, is long overdue. Yes, the image of solving homicides and resolving suspicious disappearances might not be good for business, but the promotion of business is only one of the reasons we elect Police Chiefs, Sheriffs, Governors and Attorney Generals.
Again, numbers do not and cannot speak for themselves, therefore, the increase in the number of suspicious disappearances of Hispanic females in all 23 states that filed suit against Obama's immigration executive order, is purely coincidental.
It is high time for Governor Pence, the attorney general and the state police (with the FBI involved for investigatory assistance) to form a task force to investigate the alarming numbers of unsolved females homicides and unresolved missing persons cases in the Michiana area, within the cluster.

Just one graphic thought about Brexit
About Oxford and potatoes
Everybody has gone away in a long-awaited holiday or it's busy packing toothbrushes and clean swimming suits in square luggage. Summer is beautiful, summer brings hope and relief to the working class, right? So the prospect of being stuck in Northampton seems as much lonely as the sight of an ugly potato thrown with disgust in the corner of the kitchen. But – lo and behold! – Sunday evening I received a mysterious call. Unknown number. From the other end of the line a woman's voice was shouting in the microphone as if she was partially deaf. "Dan, is that you?". "Yes, it's me". "You know who this is?". At first I thought of a deus ex machina that is going to fetch me out of this sordid Sunday injected with loneliness and feed me strawberries on a deserted beach, pour me milk and vodka in tall glasses and rub my belly with honey. "It's Ricarda". Ricarda is a girl I met approximately three years ago when my plane landed for the first time in Britain. My loneliness was still back then as ugly as a potato, but she cut it in tiny pieces and threw them in a pan and made out if them french fries that I deliciously swallowed with ketchup and mozzarella . "Come tomorrow to Oxford. I moved to Oxford." Say no more.
The morning train came to a halt at Oxford Rail Station. There a blond Ricarda was waiting smilingly.
"We're going to shopping first, OK?" Si, segniora. We entered a liquor store that smelled of coconut powder. "You'll help me choose!", Ricarda said while I definitely decided that this is the best shopping spree to go with with a woman. Two bottles of white wine and a bottle of cognac plus a small chocolate liqueur. We went out. On the way to a nearby park, I found out that Ricarda had a boyfriend and she recently broke up with him, a reason why she was feeling under water – better feel under wine when the pressure is too much for your cork. After we had a whole bottle of white wine under the scorching sun, we galloped as two Cherokee with red faces to her hut in search of precious ice and shelter.
At her apartment we opened the second bottle, when somebody started knocking at the door. Sheer panic in her eyes. Did I say somebody knocked at the door? Somebody was trying to smash the door. When she opened the door, a rather small brown character (her ex boyfriend of course) appeared at the threshold holding a Asda bag in his hand. Quiet as a mouse, I transferred my body into the adjoining room while my mind was still in the living room with Ricarda and the small brown man. After a few minutes of fairly decent talk, a threatening silence broke in and then I heard glasses crackling and something heavy hitting the floor. "Not the cognac", I hoped. I hurried into the living room where the small man was lying on the floor with his whole body trembling and his face into a contortion of grief and delirium. I've seen people suffering because of love before but never in my life have I seen a more tormented Romeo! "He's having a epileptic seizure", cried Ricarda . It lasted for more than 10 minute. We called the ambulance. The staff promised that we will be called us later to keep us updated. The bottle of the cognac was still untouched on the table and it was reflecting the gleams of the neon with a warm indifference.
After the whole commotion at Ricarda's, people started to fill in. Oxford students and graduates. I found myself packed in a small apartment full of people that can quote Shakespeare and Milton as easily as they can name alcohol brands. I went out to a shop with some fellows from Oxford that didn't have the chance to hear my dramatic interpretation of Dante's Divina Comedia when – left behind without my phone – I got lost in a big park: "In the middle of the journey of our life I found myself within a dark woods where the straight way was lost" (Dante, Inferno). After 10 minutes of lamentation, I ended up in a McDonalds where I crammed down my throat chips that felt like plastic inside me. Finally I got to Ricarda's place and what followed cannot be put into words – it was a night full of anarchic beauty that will remain in my memory for ever.
At the end of the night I fell into a sleep heavy with alcohol. I dreamed I was taking the train to a beach where some friends were waiting for me. Soon as I got off the train an ocean was laying open and blue in front of me. The sand under my feet was soft and hot. I tried to take off my clothes but they were too heavy and too many: there were 5 shirts on me. The panic was over me. I fell when I tried to get rid of my trousers. I shouted for help and soon after my friends came and undressed me. Liberated and elated I plunged into water. My friends were giggling behind me and when I looked back their naked bodies were shining under the cloudless sky – they were ready to join me. While I was waiting for them, I bent over and took a handful of sand from the bottom of the ocean and lifted to my noise: it smelled like salt and baked potatoes.

Robeson County Community Foundation "hosts" Phantom Ball
"Please do NOT attend!"
That is the message from the Robeson County Community Foundation board of directors, who are "hosting" their second annual Phantom Ball fundraiser.
"Last year the board talked about having an event to raise money for the Robeson County Unrestricted Endowment Fund," said Wendy Pridgen, Phantom Ball Committee member.
"Board member Horace Stacy came up with the idea of the Phantom Ball," she said. "Instead of having to rent a tux and spend a lot of money on food and decorations, we are asking people 'attend' by making a donation to the Robeson County Unrestricted Endowment Fund. Contributions are fully tax-deductible, and folks know they are helping a lot of nonprofits in Robeson County."
This year the Robeson County Community Foundation board of directors will be sending more than 350 "invitations" to past supporters and other residents of Robeson County.
"We are asking that people respond to the mailing by sending a donation to the Endowment Fund by Monday, April 11," said Wendy Pridgen.
"Last year a lot of our donors said they loved the concept, and they thanked us for making it so easy for them to support the Foundation," said Pridgen.
The Robeson County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation, was established in 2005 to assist individuals, families and nonprofits in building long-term financial resources for charitable purposes. In the past four years, it has made more than $9,000 in grants to local charities through its annual, competitive grant process. Past grant recipients include Lumberton Rescue & EMS, the Southeastern Family Violence Center and the Robeson Center for Child and Family Health.
In addition to the Robeson County Unrestricted Endowment Fund, the Robeson County Community Foundation administers 16 additional endowment funds with a combined asset value of more than half a million dollars.
"These local endowment funds are permanent assets that support many local organizations that benefit the citizens of Robeson County," said board president Dr. Eric Dent. "We add all the money we raise from the Phantom Ball to the Robeson County Unrestricted Endowment Fund, which increases the amount of money we have each year for grants to local nonprofits."
Robeson County Community Foundation board members include: Dr. Eric Dent (President), Gayle Fernandez (President-Elect), Von Johnson (Secretary-Treasurer), James Adams, James Byrne, Joe Craig, James Gore, Bruce Huggins, Susie Jones, R.D. Locklear, Bryan Maynor, Wendy Pridgen and Horace Stacy.
For more information about the Robeson County Community Foundation's 2011 Phantom Ball, please contact Wendy Pridgen at 910-740-5555.

Ok, so theoretically I KNEW that beer has a shelf life.
Well, last year I bought a case of really good local craft beer, and intended to send a 4-pack to my brother for Christmas. Well, I never got around to sending it on, and then he decided to move from California to Michigan so I just held onto it.
It has been sitting in a cool quiet dark corner of my basement since late last November.
Note to self: Drink the beer, and age the mead...

I still have beers sitting in their cases from a couple of years ago. It is amazing how all of the flavors and aromas blend and mature.
Brian K
I've tasted some truly wonderful 5 year old barleywines, including side-by-side comparisons of 1, 3 and 5 year old Big Foots (Sierra Nevada). My favorite was a 4 or 5 year old Old Foghorn from Anchor.
On the other hand, I've tasted brews that lived past their prime. Even the '99 Big Foot was starting to turn the corner. It was pleasantly oxidized but I think it would have been less pleasant another year down the road.
I think the idea of a "shelf life" depends greatly on a) what type of beer it is, and b) how it's handled/stored.
Personally, I've tasted good (and bad) fresh beers, and great (and horrible)aged beers. One "big" beer that I brewed made it to the 2nd place Best of Show in a local competition. It was only 21 months old (18 months in the bottle.)
I still have 8 bottles of it left. I am jealously hoarding it.
I also have 1 bottle of an Old Ale, bottled 11/3/01. This was my third batch that I ever brewed. I'm not sure when I will open that, or what it will be like...but I'm a little scared.
Just the other night, I had a 2005 Terrapin Big Hoppy Monster. Still quite good! Different, but good!
Right now, Im cellaring:
SN Bigfoot (every year since 2006)
Stone Old Guardian (every year since 2005)
Three Floyds Behemoth Blond Barleywine (every year since 2005)
Three Floyds Dark Lord Imperial Stout (every year sice 2006)
I'm also putting back some Terrapin Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout (Wake & Bake), but I'm not really formally cellaring that. I just kind forgot I had them, and am now looking to see how well it holds up.
Be well
There are a few other things to consider where aging beer is concerned.
You need to remember that, in most cases, the higher the alcohol % of the beer, the better it will age. Different types of beer age differently...it's that simple. Most Lagers don't age well (in my exprience) past 6 months and almost every low alcohol beer that I have had was pretty much junk after 3 - 4 months.
Also, the style of beer needs to lend itself to aging...for example, a Barleywine ages really well since there are supposed to be "dark fruit" flavors in that style of beer that naturally occur with aging (thank you, oxidization!). However, you may not like the result if you take an "Imperial Wheat" (read that high ABV Wheat beer...almost a Wheatwine, if you will) and age it for an equal amount of time.
Another example is Russian Imperial Stouts...they mellow and change (often for the better) with age.
So age with caution and you may be rewarded with some great beer cellar finds after a few years!!
There are others on here that have more knowledge about aging beer, I am sure...so hopefully they will lend their opinions and thoughts about this as well!!
My last brown beer (4ish%) went out to a year before it started to taste a little off, and even at almost 1.5 years was still not so bad. I often wind up with a bottle or two that hangs around for a year, and every beer I've made so far is ok at that point, but usually not so much after that. I'm not sure if it's just oxidation or not, but they pick up a kind of cardboardy old yeast flavor. Cardboard is certainly oxygen, and I'm guessing the yeasty part is from bottle conditioning (autolysis?). Beers I bottle cleaner tend to last longer in that regard, but one year has been a good rule of thumb for me.
It's interesting almost 4 years after I started this thread that I have an update and a change of heart on the matter.
The beer in question is a seasonal brew called Dragons Milk by New Holland Brewery. It is the closest thing I have found to my favorite dark beer from Bavaria.
Of that 4 pack I accidentally aged, two bottles were good and two were way off. Now 4 years later we have bought a case each year and aged most of it. Each batch has aged very differently. One year was WAY over carbonated, but each has aged fairly well. I haven't had any serious disappointments since that first batch.
This beer is definitely a high gravity beer and very bold. I am finding that as much as I like it fresh, I do prefer it aged. I am anxiously waiting for this years release.

A former deputy chief of the Kansas City Police Department filed a federal civil rights suit this week against the police board and a former chief.
Kevin E. Masters, who served in the department for 27 years before retiring as deputy chief in 2012, contended in his suit that former Chief James Corwin unfairly disciplined him in 2009.
In his suit, Masters, who is black, acknowledged telling a Lee's Summit police dispatcher that Kansas City would not enforce traffic warrants pending against his barber, who had been stopped there for a traffic violation. Arresting the barber also would have meant bringing in the barber's autistic 5-year-old child, which Masters said he determined to be "potentially dangerous and potentially liability-producing."
The suit alleged that Corwin heard about the call and suspended Masters for three days. The reprimand dashed any hope that Masters had to become police chief for any smaller department after his retirement, the suit contended.
Masters contended that white commanders whose conduct raised more questions than his were not disciplined.

The Virginian Railway: The Best Coal Railroad Money Could Buy
The museum displays at least one large temporary exhibit per year, accompanied by smaller exhibits featuring artifacts from the permanent collection.
The 2015 exhibit is "The Virginian Railway: The Best Coal Railroad Money Could Buy." The exhibit began as a project of the non-profit Planting Fields Foundation in Oyster Bay, New York on Long Island. It was displayed there in 2013, and afterwards the organization donated many of their images to the WVRRM.
While bearing the name of the state of Virginia, the Virginian Railway played a major role in the development of southern West Virginia's coal fields. The Virginian Railway was built by H.H. Rogers and William Nelson Page specifically to transport coal from southern West Virginia out to the Atlantic coast at Norfolk, Virginia—"from the mountains to the sea."
Through artifacts, photographs, and primary sources, "The Virginian Railway: The Best Coal Railroad Money Could Buy" tells the story of the railroad's impact on West Virginia.
The Collection
The museum's collection includes a wide variety of artifacts and archives documenting the history of railroading in West Virginia. From rolling stock to uniforms to paper ephemera to photographs, the collection is always growing. Many of the artifacts are on display in the museum, others can be viewed by appointment.

A little over a week ago I had the pleasure of being a guest judge for Battledish Des Moines. I was able to sample dishes and drinks at seven different locations around Des Moines. Man, we have some talented chefs in Des Moines!
Liberty's – An Iowa Grill with Chef Jeff Deets
- Dish: Smoked Chicken Tostadas
- Drink: Melon Margarita
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel restaurant and bar. They had excellent service – everyone went out of their way to accommodate the diners.
I'm a sucker for Mexican food and their dish was no different! The tortillas were crispy, the meat was smokey and the sweet corn pico de gallo topped off the dish.
Their "Melon Margarita" had the best presentation of the day. The glasses were rimmed with sugar and topped with a lime slice and a fruit skewer. It's healthy because of the fruit, right? (Sigh.)
Alba with Chef Jo Tripp
- Dish: Braised Eden Farms Pork Belly, squash puree and charred brussels sprouts.
- Drink: Bourbon Street Beet (from Mixologist Shannon Emerson) made with beet juice, ginger syrup, fresh lemon juice, Peychaud's bitters and bourbon.
The pork belly was rich and paired well with the squash puree. I don't typically like brussels sprouts, but I could have eaten a plate full of Chef Jo Tripp's veggies. The dish also featured a few different sauces – all of which were creamy and packed with flavor.
The beet (not meat as our table read – oops!) martini was strong, with a hint of sweetness. It helped cut through the fattiness of the pork belly.
Tacopocalypse with Chef Sam Auen
- Dish: Smoked Miso Ramen
I knew Chef Sam would have a unique, well-thought-out dish for us to try. And he did. You could tell how much time and thought he put into his creation. Sam presented us with his dish and explained what we were about to indulge in.
Sam showcased his handmade ramen noodles with Andouille, pear, pickled veggies, broth and even a soft poached egg! The dish had a hint of spiciness and was a seriously interesting mixture of flavors and textures. The crunch of the pear and veggies against the soft noodles and egg provided a striking juxtaposition of textures.
Gusto Pizza Co. with Chef Joe Mcconville
- Dish: Pizza Pie
- Drink: Great River Brew – Farmer Brown Ale
This piece of pizza smelled like Fall. Probably because it was loaded with carrot puree, ginger, sweet potatoes, parsnips, red onion and pecans. The ginger was a bit much for me (which is saying something since I'm married to a ginger – ha!), but I never would have even thought to put these ingredients together on a pizza!
Proof with Chef Sean Wilson
- Dish: Pork Tenderloin
- Drink: Moroccan 75
The pork tenderloin was tender and positioned on a bed of bacon-braised greens. My favorite part of the dish was the fried corn pudding on the side. It was gooey and reminded me of a fancy State Fair-style side (which is definitely a good thing in my book).
Proof's drink was my favorite of the day. It was spicy, sweet, and refreshing. And completely unexpected. I really enjoyed the bitters and touch of peppers!
BOS with Chef John Andres
- Dish: Surf and Turf
- Drink: New York Sour
This dish featured malbec-braised beef short ribs, rye whiskey pan sauce, seared scallop and a lemon emulsion. The beef short ribs melted in your mouth and the scallop was perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed that Chef John Andres came out and addressed our table at the beginning of our mini meal.
This drink was my husband in a nutshell – whiskey and malbec. Both drinks he adores. The drink featured Sazerac rye, fresh lemon, simple syrup and Bodegas Catena Zapata.
Dos Rios Cantina and Tequila Lounge with Chef Mike Holman
- Dish: Argentinian Beef Tenderloin
- Drink: South American Sangria
This sandwich was crispy and topped with many flavors and textures – roasted peppers, pickled onions, eggs, and arugula. I really liked how Chef Holman incorporated sliced eggs and the mango vinagrette on the side.
The "South American Sangria" featured absinthe, cachaca, orange liquor, Mexican brandy, Pinot Noir, and fresh fruit. This drink was like Sangria on steroids. It's a good thing we only had a small glass!
Overall, I had an exceptional time at Battledish Des Moines and I would definitely do it again. We got to interact with some of best chefs in the area, we filled our bellies with mouth-watering food and drinks, and we even made some new friends! (Check out their blogs here, here and here.)
Make sure you visit the Dishcrawl website for the Battledish Des Moines results. Also, there are a few new events coming up like the Beaverdale Crawl on Oct. 21 or Cocktail Wars on Dec. 10. Cheers!

Expression of Tas1 taste receptors in mammalian spermatozoa. Functional role of Tas1r1 in regulating basal Ca²⁺ and cAMP concentrations in spermatozoa.
In: PLOS ONE 7(2), e32354
Background: During their transit through the female genital tract, sperm have to recognize and discriminate numerous chemical compounds. However, our current knowledge of the molecular identity of appropriate chemosensory receptor proteins in sperm is still rudimentary. Considering that members of the Tas1r family of taste receptors are able to discriminate between a broad diversity of hydrophilic chemosensory substances, the expression of taste receptors in mammalian spermatozoa was examined. Methodology/Principal Findings: The present manuscript documents that Tas1r1 and Tas1r3, which form the functional receptor for monosodium glutamate (umami) in taste buds on the tongue, are expressed in murine and human spermatozoa, where their localization is restricted to distinct segments of the flagellum and the acrosomal cap of the sperm head. Employing a Tas1r1-deficient mCherry reporter mouse strain, we found that Tas1r1 gene deletion resulted in spermatogenic abnormalities. In addition, a significant increase in spontaneous acrosomal reaction was observed in Tas1r1 null mutant sperm whereas acrosomal secretion triggered by isolated zona pellucida or the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 was not different from wild-type spermatozoa. Remarkably, cytosolic Ca2+ levels in freshly isolated Tas1r1-deficient sperm were significantly higher compared to wild-type cells. Moreover, a significantly higher basal cAMP concentration was detected in freshly isolated Tas1r1-deficient epididymal spermatozoa, whereas upon inhibition of phosphodiesterase or sperm capacitation, the amount of cAMP was not different between both genotypes. Conclusions/Significance: Since Ca2+ and cAMP control fundamental processes during the sequential process of fertilization, we propose that the identified taste receptors and coupled signaling cascades keep sperm in a chronically quiescent state until they arrive in the vicinity of the egg - either by constitutive receptor activity and/or by tonic receptor activation by gradients of diverse chemical compounds in different compartments of the female reproductive tract.

NCSU Libraries
Special Collections & University Archives
Oral History Interview
Please note that this is not a literal transcript. Many of the questions and answers are paraphrased and/or abridged.
Interviewee: Dr. Donald Moreland, Class of 1949
Interviewer: Anna Dahlstein
Date: September 10, 2003
Location: NCSU Libraries, Room 3133
Length: 30 min.
[Dr. Moreland's own corrections and amendments are italicized, along with the text they are intended to replace, if any.]
000 Introductory information (same as above)
015 Basic biographical questions: Date of birth, place of birth?
Oct. 12, 1919 in Enfield, Connecticut
022 Parents' names and places of birth?
My father was Albert Sinclair Moreland and my mother was Ruth Cowan. Both were from the Boston, MA area.
030 Parents' education and occupations?
My mother was a graduate of a teacher's college, I think in Framingham, MA. My father was a mechanical-electrical engineer.
[Mother attended Radcliffe College, Cambridge, MA, for two years, then transferred to and graduated from Salem State College, Salem, MA, where she majored in English. My father was a tool and die maker.]
041 You had one brother and one sister?
Yes – My sister was three years younger than me and my brother five years younger.
047 You lost your father in your childhood?
Yes, about the time I was 14 years old.
051 Nevertheless, you successfully completed high school?
Yes, high school was no problem.
[Yes, in 1937. While in high school, I had two newspaper routes that kept me busy afternoons, but provided money for school expenses, clothing, etc.]
055 When did you begin to think about attending college?
I went to a college preparatory high school, Classical High in Springfield, but with the Depression and the limitations on finances it was out of the question. I had an interest in photography at that time and was able to obtain employment at a very minimum wage with a photographic studio [Brown's Studio] in Springfield. I worked there for three years, saving some money to start college and came to NC State [in Sept. 1940] because it was the most inexpensive accredited forestry school on the East Coast.
072 That's quite a jump, from photography to forestry. Could you please explain how your interest in forestry emerged?
I got interested in forestry primarily through scouting, hiking, camping – did some backpacking during the summers on the Long Trail that runs from the MA-VT border to the Canadian-VT border.
084 So you graduated from high school in 1937, worked for three years and entered NC State in 1940, is that right?
That's right. So if I had gone directly from high school to college, I would have graduated in 1941. But entering NC State [in 1940], I was in the class of 1944. And ended up graduating in the class of '49.
094 Were you the first member of your extended family to attend college?
I don't know about my father, though I believe he had some form of college education. Most of my mother's people (brothers or sisters) were gifted artists or musicians and she went to a teacher's college and taught high school English in various cities in the western part of MA before her marriage.
[Note: See information added to 030 in this tape log.]
103 When you moved to Raleigh, NC, did your family remain in MA?
Yes, because both my brother and sister were still in school.
106 Did they end up going to college themselves?
No, neither of them did. Part of this was that we had a commitment to help our mother out financially and this had a real impact on everything that we undertook. All three of us felt that we had a very real obligation to Mother.
115 Did you work during your freshman year of college, to supplement your income?
I tried to but there were not many [part-time] jobs available. I came down here with a one-way train ticket and $200 to cover tuition and board. The government had a New Deal program called NYA, National Youth Administration, where they provided some work to qualified people [students]. But I don't believe I got into that program until the third [the second] quarter.
130 Did any form of financial aid exist for college students at the time?
(Laughs.) Well, this was during the Depression and jobs were few and far between. I did pick up some odd jobs at the school based on my photography experience. One was developing the portraits taken for the Registration cards. In I think it was the winter quarter, I was able to get into the NYA program. I think that paid 30 an hour and we could work 10 hours a week [earn up to $15 a month]. That provided a little food money.
146 You mentioned that you were "drafted by Uncle Sam"
only one or two months
into your Sophomore year, in October of 1941?
Right. During the fall quarter of 1940, because of the situation in England and Europe, Congress passed a Selective Service Act [Selective Training and Service Act on Sept. 16, 1940] – the details are written in my memoirs – and I think it was on Oct. 16, 1940 that people between the ages of 21 and 45 [21 and 36] were required to register. I had turned 21 on Oct. 12 so four days later I registered. The initial term of service was 12 months.
[This included only males living in the continental U.S. The second registration held July 1, 1941 included those living in U.S. Territories – Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaiian Islands. Subsequent registrations (four) were held after the U.S. entered the War, and eventually extended the age coverage to 18-65.]
Early on, was called up to participate in military training and had student deferments through to the end of the spring quarter. Then I went into the Army on Oct. 8, 1941, expecting to serve one year, instead serving almost five years.
[In March 1941, I was called up to participate in military training but received a student deferment through to July 1, 1941. The local and appeal boards declined to extend the student deferment for my Sophomore year (1941-42). So I went into the Army on Oct. 8, 1941, two months prior to Pearl Harbor, expecting to serve one year, but instead served almost five years.]
172 Were you a "machine records officer" in the Southwest Pacific Theater? Do you have any idea why you were recruited for that position?
(Laughs) I was assigned to the Signal Corps for basic training and advanced training, I guess because of my photography background, but they didn't have any openings there so they put me into teletype maintenance and installation training. This was a reduced course, something like four months. My first orders were to Washington D.C. to join the Second Signal Service Battalion [Company], which eventually became Signal Intelligence Service. We were trained on the installation, maintenance and operation of an enciphering-deciphering machine called the SIGABA, which is an ultra-secret system that was never broken into by the enemy forces. Then we were shipped down to Australia to form the nucleus of General McArthur's Signal Intelligence Service.
I went down in late May 1942 and arrived around July 3, 1942. We set up the first message center for McArthur (in Melbourne) that had the SIGABA machines in them. We were there about four months and moved up to Brisbane. It was there that I was introduced to card-punch IBM equipment. During the war we did not have MOS's (Military Occupation Specialties) so the closest thing that the clerks could come up with was "machine records officer," number 2401, and I knew nothing about [that].
217 So it was actually an incorrect term?
Yes -- during the war overseas, in Australia, the islands and the Philippines, we did not have an MOS number but we had to be assigned one when the war was over and we returned to the U.S. so the closest specialty they could come up with were "machine records officers" – These people were originally assigned to the Adjutant General's Department and maintained the strengths of the troops in the field. When I went to Fort Devens for separation, they came across my 2401 specialty and this was in short supply and I was forced to stay in [the Army] for an additional six months because of that, and spent that time at Fort Bragg at First Army Headquarters.
233 How ironic – you had to remain in the service for a job that
you hadn't actually
carried out.
Right -- I knew nothing about the operation of machine records units, though I knew the machines. So it was a rather simple transfer. But instead of getting out in December 1945 or January of 1946, I didn't get out until August 18, 1946.
240 That's very interesting – that the work you had carried
out was so confidential
that a term did not even exist for it.
Right. That work [The Signal Intelligence Service] eventually became the Army Security Agency and then the National Security Agency.
242 Thank you for that summary of your military service. We are now going to return to your educational career. What were your thoughts when you were separated – was your goal to go right back to college?
Well, the war ended so abruptly. While we were in the Philippines, stationed north of Manila in a town called San Miguel, we were regrouping and getting ready for the approaching invasion of the Japanese mainland. But then the atomic bombs were dropped. The war ended so rapidly that we never had the chance to regroup because parts of the unit were still on their way from Brisbane to Luzon and others were scattered along the New Guinea positions. Many of the people stayed on in the Army Security Agency, but my main goal was to try to finish my education and get a bachelor's degree.
261 What was your rank at the time you were separated?
I had gone through the enlisted ranks, got a field commission as a Second Lieutenant, and I was separated from service on August 19, 1946 as a First Lieutenant. But then I stayed in the Reserves with the feeling that with my background, if an emergency arose, I would be called right back in and I didn't want to start over again as an enlisted man. I stayed in the Reserves and completed 37 years of service and retired when I reached the age of 59 [60 in October 1979] at the rank of full colonel.
272 You have written extensively about your GI Bill benefits and specified
that your allowance was raised to $90 a month because your mother was officially
Right, I believe the pay without dependency was $60 a month, and with the dependency allowance $90 a month.
279 Was this income sufficient to cover your living expenses?
The GI Bill covered out-of-state tuition for all students, even in-state students, to help the universities out. All of the books and school supplies were provided under the terms of the Act.
286 Did you need to work to supplement your income anyway?
Well, I needed to work to help Mother out financially.
289 Could you please describe what jobs you held in your sophomore,
junior and
senior years?
I worked for various members of the Botany Dept., did some of the graphic work for them, making slides and enlargements. I was a dormitory assistant for most of that time except for the first two quarters in 1946-47. I got some part-time work with companies downtown operating IBM machines. And I taught a laboratory course in the first Zoology course. So I stayed busy.
301 How did the GI Bill influence your education, in your interpretation?
Do you
think it enabled you to return to college, or did it simply allow you to complete
college faster than you would have otherwise? From your perspective, what was its impact?
I'm afraid that if it had not been for the GI Bill, I would probably never have been able to get a college degree of any sort. I was fortunate that in the beginning of my senior year, the Forestry Dept. came up with an opening for a teaching assistantship which provided an opportunity to obtain the Master's degree under an accelerated program. With the teaching assistantship and the GI Bill I was able to send half of the money home to Mother. This continued and led into an opportunity for obtaining a doctoral degree. I needed financial assistance for the doctoral degree and I was able to get an Atomic Energy Commission pre-doctoral fellowship. So I was able not only to obtain tuition support and living expenses but also to continue contributions to Mother.
324 What was your first position after completing your Ph.D.?
I joined a research team at the College of Forestry in Syracuse, New York. This was doing contract research supported by pulp and paper companies. The school hoped to maintain the research team but ran out of money and we had to look for other work and that's when I joined the [U.S.] Dept. of Agriculture and was stationed on the NCSU campus.
333 And you remained in Raleigh, NC, for the rest of your career?
335 Going back to the 1940s: In your memoirs, you describe the general
situation on campus as well as the overcrowded classrooms. Each dorm room had
double bunkbeds but only two small desks. Where in the world did people go to study?
(Laughs) On their beds, because there weren't many classrooms open at night, and the library was used very extensively, and that's when it was in what is now Brooks Hall. It was crowded but it was a lot better than being in the military. The closet space was limited but nobody had any civilian clothes anyway. Most everyone wore parts of their military uniforms.
349 Did you know any fellow veterans who lived in Vetville?
Yes, quite a few that had trailers in Vetville. Most of these were married. There were a few single veterans, and these trailers were parked in the back of Alexander and Turlington dorms.
354 Was that the area known as Trailwood? Did it have a specific name?
I'm not sure. We would need to go back to the Agromecks. They had temporary buildings right along Hillsborough where D.H. Hill Library is now and these were occupied mainly by faculty members.
367 Did you visit your friends in Vetville; did you spend any time there?
I went to school with them and went out on picnics with some of them and their wives but I don't recall [visiting Vetville].
372 It seems that you were fortunate to get a dorm room, given the overcrowding. Did you win a lottery or was there some form of sign-up sheet?
I just applied for readmittance to the university and filled out an application for a dorm room and was assigned one with two other Forestry sophomores.
379 Could you tell us a little more about life on campus in the late
Specifically: Were the veterans very different from the younger students, and if so, how? Did the two crowds mix at all?
The veterans were obviously more mature and I was told by some of the professors long afterwards that they had to change their approaches to teaching so as not to talk under the level of experience of the veterans. It was rather hectic at times. There were still a lot of veterans suffering of shellshock [because they] had been through very traumatic experiences. If there was any sudden noise in the dormitories for that first couple of years, it had a traumatic effect on some of the students. The veterans I think were a more dedicated group of people; they came to school with the objective of getting a degree and they worked hard at it.
395 I have heard what you said earlier echoed by many veterans: They had the feeling that they were a few years behind, that they wanted to catch up on the time they had lost.
That's right: I had lost five years in the military service and three years to the Depression … so I had eight years to make up for.
399 In closing, I wanted to ask you: Do you have any thoughts or opinions about how useful a policy the GI Bill continues to be?
I certainly think the policy should be extended. In recent years, I have talked to a number of soldiers who have indicated that one of the reasons they went into the service for a three- or four-year enlistment was to be able to "cash in" on the educational benefits. But I'm not familiar with the details of the benefits available now.

text: Arsen Vitiuk 431 Posted February 23, 2014 Now, I know that at least several players tried to complete the game as fast as possible - that is, with minimal 'Days Passed in Game' value (along with a minimal 'Playing Time' value). Of course, there is no ways to reduce the 'Playing Time', since it reflects the total amount of time you spent playing the game (NOTE: in real-time equivalent! [i.e. 24 in-game hours = 24 minutes of Playing Time]), but there are some ways to make your 'Days Passed In Game' stat lower than it could be. Here are some advices for that: 1. For experienced players only: Save as rarely as you can. Do large chunks of storyline missions and/or side missions in one go, without saving. Of course, this increases the risk of you getting wasted or busted with every single additional minute you play, but if you can take the risk to last long enough and get to a save point in the end, then you're really skilled at that game. Thing is, saving the game advances the in-game clock 6 hours. This means that 4 saves give you an additional in-game day passed already. The less you save, the less days you 'spend'. 2. Decrease your movements around the map: Moving around the map takes time (pretty evident, eh?) That is why, to reduce time spent on travelling across the map, I suggest you complete missions or other stuff like Hidden Packages/Rampages etc. in one patch of the map, then move over to another one and so on. 3. Find an appropriate means of transport: Vehicle choice is also crucial. Helicopters can take you anywhere you want fast, but you will lose some time starting their rotors or landing them appropriately. Bikes are fast (even the Faggio) and are easy to mount, yet you will be prone to falling off on even a slight collision - and that again adds some time to your playthrough - trying to mount back on the bike, only to fall off again. Cars are good, but they can't be used to make shortcuts through many narrow alleyways... So the ultimate decision is up to you. And of course, I hope you won't be going around the city in a Coach or a Flatbed - those things are SLOW and HUGE!!! 4. Utilize the in-game time loops: There are some missions in which the time is preset automatically, and the clock will adjust to that specified time each time you start that mission. The only two I can think of now is "Bloodring" and "RC Bandit Race". Whenever you start those missions, the in-game time back will loop back or forth to 10:00 of the current day. Obviously, if you accept the "RC Bandit Race" mission at, say, 01:00 (luckily, not possible for "Bloodring", as it is available from 20:00 to 23:59 only), you will lose 9 in-game minutes and will advance the coming of a new in-game day... My advice would be to accept those missions at around 23:50 (not later, since the mission loading process may take some time and you'll lose in the end - if mission is initiated when the clock has hit 00:00). That way you can save up to 13 minutes 50 seconds of in-game time (meaning your in-game day will last 37m50s instead of regular 24m0s). That is all advices I can think of right now. If I discover something later, I will be sure to add it here (that is, if the topic deserves to live long enough 'till my return) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
