The Souls calm Sunshine, and the Heartfelt joy."5
"In parts Superiour what advantage lies?
tell (for you can) what is it to be wise?
Tis but to know how little can be known;
To see all others faults, and feel our own
Condemn'd in bus'ness or in arts to drudge
Without a second, or without a judge
Truths would you teach, or save a sinking land
All fear, none aid you, and few understand."6

Act well your part, there all the Honour lies.
What can ennoble sots or slaves or cowards?
Alass! not all the Blood of all the Howards."10

The War Z's bungled launch forced Valve to pull the game after players complained about a product that over-promised and under-delivered. Executive producer Sergey Titov must have been visited by a few Christmas spirits, as he has apologized for how the launch was handled.
In a long letter to fans (via Kotaku), Titov apologized for becoming "arrogant and blinded by the early success and quick growth" of the game. The letter goes on to look a bit more objectively at the communication problems the game has experienced, with Titov explaining that community management, marketing and forum policies were being reevaluated. "We will clearly implement steps to better listen to the community," he said.
Before Titov and company can move forward, however, they must address yet another issue. Kotaku also reports that The War Z trademark has been suspended by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Titov said the company's attorney is working with USPTO to resolve the issue, but barring resolution, developer Hammerpoint Interactive may be forced to change the name of the game.

RSA SecurID Token on GNU/Linux
If you have ended up on this page trying to search ways to get Cisco VPN SecurID software token working on GNU/Linux, i can safely assume you are extremely frustrated by now.
I have tried installing it atop Wine which in-spite of my best efforts didn't work, so its not worth wasting your time with Windows version. On the RSA website i came across this J2ME version(the one thats supposed to work on java enabled mobile phones). I came across this project called MicroEmulator which emulates java enabled phone like environment and allows development and testing of J2ME applications. This is what it took me to get it working on GNU/Linux.
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)
$ wget http://microemu.googlecode.com/files/microemulator-2.0.4.zip
$ wget ftp://ftp.rsa.com/pub/agents/j2me/JME23.zip
$ wget ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/agents/TokenConverter.tar.gz
$ mkdir securId
$ unzip microemulator-2.0.4.zip -d securId/
$ unzip JME23.zip -d securId/
$ tar -C securId -zxvf TokenConverter.tar.gz
$ cd securId
$ cp some_directory/token_file.sdtid .
$ chmod +x TokenConverter
$ ./TokenConverter token_file.sdtid -p 'password_you_got_from_admin' -o num_out
$ split num_out -b 5
$ for i in `ls x*`; do echo -\> `cat $i`; done | nl > /tmp/17_parts
$ cat /tmp/17_parts # you want to refer this list when filling up numbers in the SecurID app
... truncated...
13 -> 32323
14 -> 43434
15 -> 54545
16 -> 67676
17 -> 0
$ java -cp microemulator-2.0.4/microemulator.jar:SecurID.jar org.microemu.app.Main com.rsa.swtoken.j2me.client.SecurID
This should bring up the emulator X window. Lets drive the process further using screenshots, as its GUI intensive hence harder to communicate and understand.
Image 1: Emulator launched with SecurID Token application
Image 2: Shows welcome screen after accepting license.
Image 3: Chooses a more comfortable layout from Options -> Select Device as default device.
Image 4: Chooses 'Numeric Input' over 'Web Download'(which i couldn't get to work).
Image 5: Shows screen prompting for Numeric Input.
Image 6: Shows screen Numeric Input prompt filled with numbers we captured in /tmp/17_parts.
Image 7: Shows the screen post entering Numeric Input (with password 'password_you_got_from_admin' populated)
Image 8: Finally, token added successfully.
Image 9: Prompts for pin (this was a 4 digit number in my case)
Image 10: Displays the 8 digit number you need to use as password to vpnc(or Cisco VPN Client/nm-applet vpnc plugin etc) to connect to vpn.
This pain and aggravation we just went through is one time only(what we just did was import the token, and we don't need to do this every day). You will however need to type the 'password_you_got_from_admin' every time, in order to get it to prompt for the 4 digit pin. Quit the emulator at this point and relaunch it(using command $ java -cp…) to see what i mean.
Unlike every other post i wouldn't end this one with "Happy VPNing" because i know VPNing can never make you happy(or at-least not if you are like me). However this should help make the procedure to connect to VPN shorter for you. In my case it reduced from "requesting Sweta(my wife) to launch the SecurID app on her laptop(which has OS X) and dictate me the number(which obviously wasn't as easy when she was not around)" to invoking "java -cp …".
Its funny that Proprietary software makers go this length to make life difficult for Free Software users(and we still get around it). In this case it so happens that RSA has SecurID app for Windows, OS X, Blackberry, Symbian(which doesn't work BTW…) and J2ME platform but not for GNU/Linux or BSDs. They support all operating systems but the best!
I have tried this setup on my laptop which runs 32 bit Gentoo, but these steps should work on any other *nix flavor that has sun jvm installed. I tried the web-download method for adding token as well, but couldn't get it to work and didn't know what the problem was. Will post what i did for web-download as a comment on this page sometime soon(and hope someone helps us by hacking it and getting it to work). I don't know about you, but keying-in the 17 sets of wierd numbers was the most painful part of this whole exercise for me.

I spent Saturday afternoon in the company of young men and women far less fortunate than most of us. They are profoundly retarded and live in a group home. It was the home's annual Christmas party and family and friends gathered to celebrate with them, to the extent that the residents were able to enjoy the festivities with their limited capacities.

text: Jase 12,828 Report post Posted November 12, 2012 http://bigstory.ap.o...ge-relationship Word has it that some tickling was involved. NEW YORK (AP) — The puppeteer who performs as Elmo on "Sesame Street" is taking a leave of absence from the popular kids' show in the wake of allegations that he had a relationship with a 16-year-old boy. Sesame Workshop said puppeteer Kevin Clash denies the charges, which were first made in June by the alleged partner, who by then was 23. "We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action," Sesame Workshop said in a statement issued Monday. "We met with the accuser twice and had repeated communications with him. We met with Kevin, who denied the accusation." The organization described the relationship as personal and "unrelated to the workplace." Its investigation found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated. But it said Clash exercised "poor judgment" and was disciplined for violating company policy regarding Internet usage. It offered no details. "I had a relationship with (the accuser)," Clash told TMZ. "It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not." At his request, Clash has been granted a leave of absence in order to "protect his reputation," Sesame Workshop said. No further explanation was provided, nor was the duration of his leave specified.

EPA head in a long line of Black environmentalists
When Lisa Jackson leaves her post as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency later this month, she will be remembered for taking on oil industry groups and Republican lawmakers, and pushing to give African- Americans a greater voice on environmental issues.
"Early on we set out to expand the conversation on environmentalism and environmental justice," said Jackson who was born in Philadelphia and raised in New Orleans. "As the first African-American to lead the agency, it seemed that it was time, once and for all, to disprove the myth that the face of an environmentalist is a White face."
Jackson said that the American myth is that an environmentalist grows up in the great outdoors, relishing horseback riding in the morning or hiking through Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. like President Theodore Roosevelt.
"I didn't come to the environment from that side," said Jackson. "I came to environment through the absence of that. I do not sleep outside. I do not camp. I don't wear Birkenstocks. I will eat a granola bar from time to time," she said joking with members of the Black press during a recent media roundtable at the EPA headquarters.
From Bishop to Carver
Despite the whitewashed American myth about who really cares about the planet, Blacks have always been actively involved in environmental issues.
Stephen Bishop, a slave from Kentucky skilled in geology, explored underground streams, discovered "eyeless and colorless river animals" and led tours at the Mammoth Cave in 1838, which is now the site of a national park.
Solomon G. Brown, built exhibit cases, cleaned furniture and studied natural history from 1852 to 1906 at the Smithsonian Institution. Brown, the first African-American employee at the world-renowned museum, also lectured about natural history in the Washington metro region.
As he worked in agriculture and botany, scientist George Washington Carver viewed nature through a religious lens and worked with Black farmers to grow sustainable crops and to conserve natural resources.
More activists
In 1985, Norris McDonald founded the African American Environmentalist Association focused on protecting the environment, utilizing natural resources economically and bringing more Blacks into the environmental movement.
More recently Jerome Ringo an environmental activist with a background in the petroleum industry chaired the National Wildlife Federation from 2005 to the 2007, becoming the first Black to head one of the most important conservation groups in the U.S.
According to a study by Paul Mohai, an associate professor at the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment, despite conventional wisdom, Blacks are more likely than Whites to weigh the environmental costs of everyday actions.
Dispelling myths
The study, titled "Dispelling Old Myths: African American Concern for the Environment," found that 37 percent of Blacks buy pesticide-free foods compared to 29 percent of Whites.
Blacks also eat less meat than Whites (15 percent of Blacks vs. 8 percent of Whites) and drive less (16 percent versus 10 percent). The study found that Whites recycled at higher rates than Blacks (64 percent to 44 percent).
Although Blacks joined environmental groups at similar rates as Whites, they were less likely to join mainstream groups like the Sierra Club or the World Wildlife Fund.
"People that fished to put the fish on the plate, didn't join clubs! They fished to eat," said Jerome Ringo in a 2005 interview with Mother Jones. "So, therefore, the organized movement was mainly made of those sportsman and did not include people who couldn't afford to join clubs and who were off feeding their families."
As Blacks and poor people were off feeding their families environmental groups grew in popularity sorely lacking in diversity.
Black and green issues
A 2007 study by the Center for Diversity and the Environment found: "Thirty-three percent of mainstream environmental organizations and 22 percent of government agencies had no people of color on staff."
The study went further suggesting that people of color "feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in institutions because of the homogeneous culture both within organizations and the movement," adding that, "organizations that want to diversify often do not know what to do, where to start, and eventually either do nothing or venture down a path destined for failure."
Minorities don't always connect their creative money-saving acts to saving the planet or conservation, making it harder for them to connect to the mainstream environmental movements.
That's because green issues are not always tree hugger issues, said EPA Administrator Jackson.
She shared the story of one of her staffers who had a grandmother that lived in the northeast. As soon as the early winter winds started to blow, the grandmother would get up on a ladder and tack plastic sheeting to the windows.
"That was energy efficiency, that's home retro-fitting. She didn't call it that. She was keeping the cold air out and keeping her utility bill down," Jackson said. "We need to embrace that as something that we can do and society should be helping lower-income people do."
According to a report by the Center for American Progress, a nonpartisan research and policy group, embracing environmental movements could mean the difference between life and death for many Blacks living in the U.S.
"For many people of color, this air pollution is an unavoidable feature of daily life because they are more likely to live and work in the nation's most polluted cities," stated the Center for American Progress report.
Health concerns
The report found: "A startling 68 percent of African Americans live within 30 miles of a coal-fired power plant, compared to only 56 percent of the White population."
Not only do carbon emissions contribute to global warming, the pollutants also exacerbate symptoms related to asthma.
Action plan
During her tenure at the EPA, Jackson fought to bring environmental justice issues to the forefront, developing Plan EJ 2014 to address how pollution affects communities of color. The plan includes guidelines for assigning new permits for power plants to regulation enforcement and outreach programs.
"At the end of the day, environmental issues are health issues and if you have health disparities, because of the environment that becomes a moral issue and that's a story that needs to be told," said Jackson. "These communities are suffering."
In 2012, Jackson helped develop an action plan to decrease racial and ethnic disparities associated with asthma and to increase asthma management through education.

Oh my goodnes... I grew up in Farmingdale and it's seldom that I come across a reference to my hometown. Plus, when my childhood friend and I were about 16, she moved away to Newburgh!
I love when this big world shows it's pretty small.

Get an alert when new La Roux dates are announced
When La Roux, aka Elly Jackson, first burst onto the scene, she declared war on boring guitar bands and aimed to take us back to a world of 80's analogue synth-pop. Taking influences from the Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, OMD to more contemporary names like Robyn, her plan seemed to work, resulting in the number 1 single 'Bulletproof' and her 2 million selling Grammy Award winning eponymous debut album. Five years on from that immense success, La Roux finally returns from a song writing hiatus to bring her synth sound back to the dancefloors with her long-awaited second album 'Trouble In Paradise'.

In the upstairs offices of the Dunning Theatre, Broadway star Valerie Stanton argues bitterly with her longtime producer and former lover, Gordon Dunning. Valerie declares her intention to marry architect Michael Morrell and end both her personal and professional relationship with Gordon, but the domineering producer refuses to part with her. When Gordon threatens to tell Michael ugly lies about her past and then grabs her, Valerie becomes frightened and hits him over the head with a statuette. Realizing that she has killed him, Valerie slips downstairs without being noticed. While Valerie says goodbye to the cast and crew of her latest hit comedy, co-star Marian Webster finds Gordon's dead body. Later, in her apartment, Valerie recalls the events leading up to Gordon's demise: On the way to an opening night party at Gordon's, Valerie and Gordon argue about her desire to star in a production of Hedda Gabler . Although Valerie, who has made her name in comedies, is confident that she can play the dramatic part, Gordon belittles her ambition. At the party, Valerie meets Michael, a witty Englishman, and feels instantly attracted to him. Later that night, Valerie resumes her quarrel with Gordon about Hedda Gabler . Then, over Gordon's objections, Valerie lunches with Michael the next day and soon falls in love with him. Determined to sever all ties with Gordon, Valerie asks Marian, who loves the producer despite having been dumped by him ten years before, for help. Although Marian despises Valerie, she agrees to use whatever influence she has on Gordon to distract him from the star. In a theater restaurant, Marian tries to rekindle Gordon's feelings for her, but he is too preoccupied with Valerie to respond. When Valerie comes to his table and invites him to her home the next evening for a "business" talk, he assumes that she is returning to him. Gordon then tells Broadway reporter Jeff Trent that Valerie is going to star in his next show, and the item appears in the newspaper the next morning. When Valerie sees the announcement, she storms into Gordon's office and demands that he issue a retraction. Gordon refuses, and the fatal argument begins. Back in her apartment, Valerie is informed of Gordon's death and is summoned to the theater. There Captain Danbury, a theater-loving police detective, questions the cast and crew about their activities the previous night. During the interrogation, Marian, who is in a shock-induced coma at the hospital, is implicated in the crime, while Valerie is barely questioned. Later, Danbury shows Valerie a love letter that Gordon had written to her just before his death, as well as a letter of rejection addressed to Marian. When Valerie then learns that Danbury has Gordon's diary, she becomes concerned, but the detective only uncovers more damning information about Marian. While Danbury is visiting her one day, Valerie insists that Marian is innocent and, describing her actual movements at the murder scene, playfully suggests that she is the killer. Danbury, however, dismisses her "confession" because she has offered no motive for the crime. Marian then regains consciousness and, guessing Valerie's guilt, denounces her as a heartless killer. Marian's harsh condemnation moves Valerie to seek out Danbury, but as she is about to confess, the detective receives a call informing him that Marian has committed suicide. Completely undone by the news, Valerie is unable to concentrate during rehearsals for Hedda Gabler and appears headed for a breakdown. On opening night, Danbury informs her that he is closing the case, but Valerie cannot let go of her guilt, especially after the devoted Michael tells her that he has known the truth about the murder all along. Just before the curtain rises, Valerie scribbles a confessional note to Danbury and places it in the velvet gloves she wore while striking Gordon. Relieved of her burden, Valerie gives a stunning performance, then, after taking her curtain calls, gives herself up to Danbury.

I totally understand Governor Palin's enemies, those infected with Palin Derangement Syndrome. Believe me, I get it. If I subscribed to their worldview and political philosophy, I might behave the same way they do. So who can blame them, these souls who have made it their life's purpose to denigrate, devalue, and demonize Governor Palin and anyone associated with her? What else are they to do?
Often, I look to sports to teach life-lessons. Politics and sports have much in common. In fact, politics is often referred to as a sport of sorts–a blood sport, that is–and it gets bloodier and bloodier with each passing day. No one understands this better than Governor Palin, who has, metaphorically speaking, been mauled and manhandled since stepping onto the national court in 2008–and continues to emerge victorious.
Having been both a basketball player and coach, I know what it is to prepare to face a team that has a player whose skills run too deep to stop. Under these circumstances, the best one can hope for is to contain or limit this person. I know the relief that comes when this player goes to the bench for a breather. We, the opposing team, also breathe a little easier during that time, but we're always mindful that this reprieve is but temporary. Players who demand such attention create desperation in the opposition. Even professional coaches have faced consequences and repercussions for ordering players to "take out" a star player, "hurt her," "make him pay," "leave a mark." Such "do whatever it takes" tactics are deplorable, but desperate people do desperate things. So it is with politics, and it is especially so with Governor Palin.
When she is quiet, they exult. Their delusion tells them she is done, gone for good, no longer a threat capable of dictating tempo. But like all players who recognize their role on the team, she always checks back in. And when she does, the haters are beside themselves and find the need to tell themselves–and everyone else–just how "irrelevant" she is. Mind you, they say so while tracking her every move, noting her every word, and studying her every pattern. While they repeatedly chirp that she's irrelevant, their actions betray those words, like playing a box and one defense against a team that has no predominant offensive threat, or double-teaming an average player, in an effort to stop her. It just doesn't make sense. Furthermore, Governor Palin, unlike anyone we have ever seen, cannot be stopped. She cannot even be contained. She operates on her own terms, and nothing gets to her.
Their most recent attempt came upon the revelation that she was not renewing her contract with FOX News. The problem with those who want to believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the Governor was dumped by the network, is they are in denial of a basic truth: FOX or no FOX, the Governor has a voice. When she uses that voice, everyone listens and then talks about what they heard. If she chooses to take a breather and speak very little, or not at all, for a time, she can do that. When she checks back in, they're there. In fact, they've been looking over their shoulders all along, afraid she'll reemerge at any time. You see, she remains on their minds even when not in their sight. When she does reemerge, they raise their level of attack. Their accusations become more acrimonious, their insults are more insidious, and their deeds even dirtier.
Nonetheless, she does not budge. Instead, she reminds us that she hasn't even begun to fight. It is in this that she reveals herself to be head and shoulders above all others. She simply cannot be defeated.
And this is why they hate her so much more today than they did yesterday, more yesterday than the day before. They simply don't understand how no matter the defense or offense they employ, no matter the tactics they attempt, she will not go away. She perseveres–and she does it her way. I understand that for the self-appointed Palin enemy, that has got to be maddening! Just look at their plight. Their entire game plan doesn't work. Their lies don't work. Their "IRRELEVANT" cries don't work. Nothing they do works. Hatred is their only comfort object, and it's not enough to pacify them–because she doesn't care! Unfortunately for them, they are not smart enough to embrace the only thing that might help soothe their pain, the old adage, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Instead, they continue to try to beat her, and in so doing they continue to beat their own heads against the wall in this blood sport called politics.
Governor Palin loves this country and is not afraid to fight for it. She may not have every aspect planned out yet or know all that she'll have to face in the battle, but I have no doubt she'll outlast the opposition. To those who are inclined not to believe in the certainty of that triumphant endurance, I'll let the Governor do the talking: "We delight in those who underestimate us."

Many cotton producers, particularly those in east Alabama, have had light insect pressure now for almost a decade. Even so, they shouldn't make the mistake of letting down their guards, says Ron Smith, Auburn University Extension entomologist.
"Most growers in light insect pressure environments are handling insect control as economically as possible," said Smith at the recent East Alabama Cotton Production Meeting.
"But you should make sure that you have a system in place that'll alert you to any traditional insect problems, such as worms or plant bugs. Sooner or later, we're going to see an increase in some of those primary pests — if not in all fields, then in some fields."
Sporadic insect pests also may cause economic damage in some years, he adds, and someone needs to be watching for these problems. "You're putting yourself at great risk to try and grow cotton in this part of the world without someone monitoring for insects," he says.
Alabama cotton producers continue to find certain insect pests in their fields each year, although they may be only isolated cases, says Smith. Some of these insects might be considered emerging pests in the current low-spray environment, he says.
"For example, in the last few years, grasshoppers have been a problem in a lot of areas of the state, but it appears to have started in central Alabama," he says.
Several things, he adds, have caused this sporadic pest, including eliminating the boll weevil and planting Bt cotton and eliminating worm sprays. "Another thing, and it may be more important than the other reasons, is the movement to reduced-tillage production," says Smith.
One thing growers need to know about grasshoppers is that they're only an economic pest when cotton is in the seedling stage, he says. "Once cotton gets five or six true leaves, grasshoppers tend to feed on the leaves. But they never eat enough leaves to hurt anything. It's only when they're cutting off the seedling cotton that grasshoppers become a problem," says Smith.
Growers can pretty much ignore grasshoppers if they don't see them until after cotton is at the six to eight or more true-leaf stage.
"The only other thing you need to know about grasshoppers is if you think you need to spray in that seedling stage, the immature stage of the pest that jumps around is easy to control. Anything you put out that's labeled for cotton will work.
"However, if it's June, and a lot of grasshoppers have moved into the adult stage and can fly, they may be difficult to kill. They'll require a very high rate of a pyrethroid or a product like Orthene."
Grasshoppers usually are in the fields prior to planting in reduced-tillage situations, says Smith, and some growers have even considered putting some control material in with their burndown treatment.
Some cotton producers are seeing more Southern armyworms in their fields than in the past, he says. "They're almost 99-percent foliage feeders, and unless you have a lot of them, you can ignore them. They may eat all of the leaves off one plant, where the egg mass is located, but they don't go to the fruit very much
"They're a little like beet armyworms when they start, except they don't go to the fruit as badly. On the Gulf Coast, when growers get enough of them, about 1 percent of the population will feed in the fruit. You can possibly get bloom, square or boll damage from the Southern armyworm."
The leaf-footed plant bug also is becoming more common in today's low-spray insect environment, says Smith. They commonly are seen in home gardens, as they prefer feeding on tomato plants in the fall, he says.
"The damage from this pest is similar to that from stink bugs. If we're looking internally in bolls for stink bug problems, that's when we'll be picking up on the leaf-footed plant bug. They also are mid to late-season boll feeders."
For two consecutive years, says Smith, the vegetable weevil took out a cotton field in central Alabama. "We haven't seen them before or since, but it's also a pest, at times, in the Mid-South."
The three-cornered alfalfa hopper, he says, is a sporadic cotton pest that typically moves into fields from roadsides that have been mowed.
"They'll move in when the grass is dying down and cotton is in the early planting stages. Symptoms include a plant that takes on a reddening appearance with an enlarged place on the stems where three-cornered alfalfa hoppers have fed. They prevent the flow of nutrients from moving up and down the plant, and we might see more of these pests as we expand our peanut acreage."
Before growers began planting Bollgard cotton, it wasn't uncommon, says Smith, to see European corn borers in cotton fields that were adjacent to corn. "They bore into the stem, or they can go into the boll. If they bore into the stem, they'll leave a trail of sawdust-like material down the edge of the plant."
The cotton leafworm, he says, was a fairly common occurrence in the Southeast in the 1920s and 1930s. "As far as spraying insecticides, we've just about moved back to that day because we're really not using any foliar insecticides. These insects migrate up from the tropics, and they're strictly foliage feeders. You'll see the pupae stage of this insect hanging from the leaf of a plant."
Early season fall armyworms tend to get on pigweed, says Smith, and when growers burn down the pigweed, they move to cotton. This has been a common occurrence for several years now, he says.
"False chinch bugs move into cotton in tremendous numbers during a dry season. They can damage cotton in the seedling stage by sucking the juice from it. But the false chinch bug is not a pest in cotton."

The Infernus is a sports car that was first introduced in Grand Theft Auto III and has appeared in six additional GTA titles since.
GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories
"Extremely expensive. How can we expense one of these? Only those idiots undercover get to drive these."
- Official Vice City Bureau of Investigation file description, GTA Vice City.
Between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Infernus had appeared in three different forms, each illustrating the car as a sleek, low-profile sports car comparable to the Cheetah.
- In Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it resembles a Vector M12 with the rear incorporating elements of a Lamborghini Diablo. During development of GTA III, one of the earliest known names given to the car is the "Dyablo", a nod to the Lamborghini Diablo name; contrary to its final form, the car shares an uncanny resemblance to the Lamborghini Diablo and is illustrated without a rear spoiler. The car in its earlier form and with its earlier name is depicted on the Capital Autos website.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it closely resembles a Lamborghini Countach LP500, but lacks the characteristic scissor doors, and features bulging headlights and round taillights. During development of GTA Vice City, early screenshots hinted of a design closer to the Countach LP500, featuring a sleeker and more angular frontage, blocky lights and a heightened spoiler.
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Infernus nameplate loses the Lamborghini motif, and is based on a Honda/Acura NSX, (most likely the Acura model, as this was exported to North America).
Although the Infernus' design suggests a mid-engined layout in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, its engine is visible under the front hood, possibly due to limitations of the game engine. The GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions reposition the engine to the back; the front compartment is revealed to be the trunk. The GTA Vice City Infernus, however, still emits smoke from the front if moderately damaged. The GTA San Andreas Infernus is front-engined by design.
In GTA San Andreas, the Infernus can be modded at any TransFender branch.

GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars
The Grand Theft Auto IV rendition, manufactured by Pegassi, is largely based on the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 combined with the rear fascia and venting off the hyper-exotic Pagani Zonda F; making the Infernus the only "exotic" car in GTA IV. The car features a mid engined configuration, allowing the car a favorable structural advantage over front-engine vehicles in frontal collisions. The Infernus, true to modern Lamborghinis, may or may not be equipped with a prominent rear wing. Also, the Infernus is capable of supporting a second body color for a stripe over the side skirts, even though it is not evident on the normally spawned Infernus. The Infernus in GTA IV is also the first and only car in the entire series to feature scissor doors, which allows the Infernus' doors to be self-closing by relying only on gravity to fall shut from its opened position; also featured are small, racing-style wing mirrors. The interior is fully finished in black leather and sports the same Lamborghini-style sport seats as the Pfister Comet. Sections of the dash and transmission tunnel are finished with carbon fiber accents.
The Infernus in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is only available without a spoiler, and features conventional doors. In addition, players who pre-ordered GTA Chinatown Wars from Amazon are able to purchase a bulletproof Infernus at the Auto Merchant early in the game.

GTA III — GTA San Andreas
The Infernus' handling remains similar between GTA III and GTA Vice City, but in San Andreas, although it is the fastest car in the game, and its all-wheel drive system means the car has good front grip, its cornering ability is considerably inferior to its prior renditions due to higher susceptibility to spins, indicating uneven front-to-rear weight distribution. Its suspension in GTA III and GTA Vice City, however, is softer, allowing it to drive over curbs without jolting the car substantially or bottoming out.
The Infernus is extremely fast and the fourth-fastest (with a top speed of 180 km/h) car in this game but is highly susceptible to deformation from high-speed impacts, and even impacts which do little damage can eject the driver through the windshield. It is one of the fastest cars in GTA IV, and accordingly, it's a good racing car; it does, however, suffer from understeer in sharp turns at speed. It is a mid-engined all-wheel drive, like the real Murciélago; the mid-engine configuration makes it unlikely to break down or be set aflame from front-end collisions, another benefit when racing. While reversing, the Infernus can be easily turned 180 degrees with a mere nudge to the steering wheel, which can be useful after losing control of the vehicle. The Infernus has the same engine sound as the Comet and the Super GT.
Variants with unique colors
- White Infernus
In GTA Vice City, Lance Vance is depicted to be driving a uniquely white Infernus, which can be seen and driven during "Back Alley Brawl" and "Guardian Angels". After obtaining Diaz's mansion in "Rub Out", the regular Infernus parked next to the garage will permanently appear white, implying the car belongs to Lance. Given its permanence, the car is easily obtainable from this point on.
- Orange/Yellow Infernus
In GTA IV, an Infernus previously owned by Bryce Dawkins is given to the player by Bernie Crane after completing his mission "Buoys Ahoy". The car uniquely sports stripes on the sideskirt and a bright orange or yellow body color which does not appear on any other Infernus, but is otherwise identical to a regular Infernus, being available with or without a spoiler.
Dawkins' Infernus is also featured in The Lost and Damned during "Knowing Me, Knowing You", and can be obtained by parking it at a GTA IV or TLAD safehouse, driving away from it and blowing yourself up with a Pipe Bomb or grenade, thereby failing the mission but retaining the car at the safehouse. Note that it is not necessary to kill yourself and waste money when you can just take the car to a parking space and wait for the time to run out; Johnny will just simply get out (if you attempt to enter the car it will be locked). Get into another car and go around the block. When you come back, the Infernus will still be there, unlocked for you.
- Golden Infernus
In GTA IV, Stevie will send you a message saying that he requires an Infernus parked near the Soldiers Memorial in Downtown Broker, and can be specifically found parked next to the Pizza Salad Restaurant. After acquiring the car, the player is required to deliver the car to his garage. This Infernus always has a unique gold paintjob. Like all of Stevie's desired cars, it will respawn if taken away, and thus can be "duplicated". Find the Infernus, park it at a safehouse, then return to its original location; a new Infernus will be there, and this can be delivered to Stevie instead.
The golden Infernus' color is very similar to the golden colors of a "gold" Ruiner, the Ruiner's color scheme being more easily available as one of its many conventional color schemes.

Modifications (GTA San Andreas)
- Color
- Wheels (ten types)
- Nitro (All)
- Hydraulics
- The radio of the Infernus set those default stations in the following games:
- GTA San Andreas: Radio Los Santos.
- GTA IV: The Vibe 98.8.
- The Infernus can be sold for $10,000 at S&M Auto Sales in GTA IV after completing Stevie's Car Thefts.
- If the player takes an Infernus to a spray shop too many times in GTA IV, it will turn a unique, dark green color. This color will then be permanent, and no amount of subsequent resprays will change it. This is most likely a glitch, as almost every other car in the game will continually cycle through its available colors each time you visit a spray shop. The exceptions are the Buffalo from The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Dukes and the PMP 600, which all suffer from similar glitches.
- The Infernus in GTA IV has no front turning lights nor a trunk. The absence of a trunk is seen after some frontal crashes, but Infernus' with front indicators can be seen on the TV commercials of "I'm Rich".
- The Infernus is specified in GTA IV to be the most expensive drivable car with a price tag of $150,000, followed by the Turismo with a value of $130,000 and the Super GT valued at $110,000.
- Under the "Chinatown Wars" section of the Rockstar Games Social Club website, members may download a printable papercraft model of the Infernus. The vehicle's design is more rooted to the GTA IV rendition, and is obviously more detailed than the GTA Chinatown Wars rendition.
Notable owners
- Lance Vance
- B Dup
- Bryce Dawkins / Bernie Crane (After Buoys Ahoy it belongs to Niko Bellic).
- Stevie.
- Niko Bellic
- Tony McTony
- One can easily be obtained during the mission "Grand Theft Auto".
- Normally spawned on the streets in Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale, similar to other sports cars.
- Spawns in the Francis International Airport parking lot near the entrance.
- GTA Vice City
- Parked in front of the mansion owned by Ricardo Diaz, and later Tommy Vercetti. Prior to the mansion's change of hand, the Infernus is featured with a conventional range of body colors. Thereafter, the car appears with a unique white body color.
- On a platform in North Point Mall. The car is there as part of a competition, but the competition cannot be entered.
- Usually spawns around Vice City in the more affluent areas, such as Starfish Island.
- GTA San Andreas
- May appear in traffic under the following conditions:
- While riding a PCJ-600 in Rodeo, Los Santos, (Wed).
- While driving a Rumpo in Rodeo/Santa Maria Beach, Los Santos (Fri), or a Euros on The Strip, Las Venturas (Fri).
- While driving an Elegy in Downtown, San Fierro (Sunday).
- In Downtown, Los Santos.
- While driving a Perennial in Rodeo, Los Santos.
- In Paradiso, San Fierro.
- At the Bayside Marina in Tierra Robada.
- Around The Strip, Las Venturas
- Parked by the most north eastern house in Paradiso, San Fierro. (Only when wanted for export).
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- Often spawns on Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale.
- In the parking lot at Francis International Airport close to the entrance.
- In the Newport Multistory Car Park.
- GTA Vice City Stories
- In front of a mansion in the most northwest part of Starfish Island.
- In the parking lot on the east of Forbes's apartment.
- Inside the garage at Lance's apartment in Ocean Beach.
- Parked along Ocean Drive, Ocean Beach.
- An explosionproof one is obtainable from the mission "Accidents Will Happen". Fail the mission to obtain it.
Like various sports car in the game, the Infernus is significantly rare in single player as it does not normally spawn in traffic at all. It can only be obtained in specific missions and/or pastimes.
- An Infernus can be encountered relatively early on if one spawns as a competitor (or in traffic) during Brucie's street races. These can be stolen, although killing an opponent and stealing their car will forfeit the race, lowering Brucie's approval rating.
- As with most cars, Infernus' will spawn more readily once the player is already driving one. Approaching the South Bohan safehouse from the southern bridge may be a good way to spawn parked Infernuses near a convenient storing place.
- In GTA IV Multiplayer it is quite common, and can be seen driving around the streets of Liberty City.
- A YouTube video purportedly claims a faster method of obtaining an Infernus in multiplayer is available the Xbox 360 version of the game. First, the player must drive a Ruiner until a Coquette is forced to spawn, to which point the player must steal and drive the Coquette until Sultans and, later, Infernus' will appear momentarily.
- The Lost and Damned
- The only way to find an Infernus is during the previously mentioned mission "Knowing Me, Knowing You".
- The Ballad of Gay Tony
- In lieu with the game's high-flying theme, the Infernus is made more common in The Ballad of Gay Tony and tends to spawn around Star Junction, Westminster and other parts of central Algonquin, including The Meat Quarter, Lower Easton and Suffolk.
- Can sometimes be seen in the small parking lot on Gavelston Ave. and Hell Gate, Purgatory, Algonquin. Better chance to spawn when driving another Infernus.
- GTA Chinatown Wars
- The car can be obtained from many locations, though seems to be popular in Algonquin.
- Parked on the driveway of Faustin's Mansion in Beachgate, Broker.

Chinese gadget maker sues HP and Toshiba
In a flap over over USB patents
Posted in Personal Tech, 27th April 2010 08:13 GMT
Beijing-based gadget maker Aigo is suing HP and Toshiba for patents relating to USB ports.
Aigo has filed against HP in a Beijing court and against Toshiba in Xi'an. It has also written to Dell, Samsung and Sony, Global Times reports.
The company, which sponsors the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 team, is seeking one million Yuan ($146,000) compensation.
The case centres on six patents registered in China but valid worldwide.
None of the companies named would comment on the report.
Aigo makes USB Flash drives, camcorders, projectors, iPhone accessories and digital photo frames.
An HP spokeswoman said HP refutes the alleged infringement.
China has long been regarded as the bad guy over how it conforms to intellectual property laws. But it emerged this week that some "made in China" brands are now being faked elsewhere as Chinese wages and costs rise. The problem is made worse because many Chinese firms do not bother to protect their own intellectual property. ®

There is so much at stake for Jim Harbaugh today. Every week, there is so much at stake for his reputation and his standing among NFL coaches.
Those statements probably seem hard to believe. He's already shown he's the boy wonder as coach — although, he's not such a boy anymore. What possibly could be at stake for him today in the NFC championship game against the Falcons?
Just this. If Harbaugh loses, he didn't make progress from his first season. He got to the exact same spot and stopped dead. See you later, Jim. Have an enjoyable offseason.
If he loses, people will notice some stuff. Like: He didn't win as many games as his first year. You could look that up right now. And: He couldn't fix the startling/disturbing pattern his team established this season.
Win two games in a row and then don't win the third game — the tie with the Rams was not a loss but it was not a win. This pattern has repeated itself five times this season.
Today's game against the Falcons is a third game. The 49ers won their previous two and that should be good, but if history is a guide, it also could be very bad.
The win-win-not-win pattern is all about coaching. It is about nothing else. It is impossible to know why this pattern exists or, if over the long haul, it really is a pattern, but here's a tentative hypothesis and it's all about Harbaugh.
The team gets too high on itself after two wins and then crashes in the third game. We're talking extreme highs and lows. The best coaches are emotionally stable — think Joe Gibbs — but it's possible Harbaugh is an up-and-down person, and the team mirrors his high and lows. If the Niners lose to the Falcons, it would be the sixth time this pattern asserted itself.
When the Seahawks lost to the Falcons last week, everyone pointed the finger at Pete Carroll, with good reason. The same applies here. The 49ers have six Pro Bowlers on defense, plus a potential Hall of Fame running back, a wide receiver who is clearly one of the best, a great tight end who has been a Pro Bowler and a quarterback who is the talk of the nation. The Niners are vastly superior to the Falcons, who are a weak first seed, almost a joke if you trust the national media. They are made to order for the 49ers.
If the Niners lose, they will have been beaten by an inferior team for the fifth time this season. Harbaugh surely will take the blame — should take the blame. Maybe you're thinking Harbaugh is flop-proof. Look at Rex Ryan's record. He took the Jets to the AFC championship game his first two seasons. Where is he now?
You already are seeing articles proclaiming Harbaugh's greatness, articles that are premature. One writer said Harbaugh is approaching the Bill-Walsh level. Really? Harbaugh is very good. We know that. He may become great. He possibly will show the early stages of greatness in the next few weeks. But please let him accomplish something before he's anointed the next Bill Walsh. Show a little patience.
When I saw Harbaugh several days ago, he was grim. Not scared. Not worried. Not impolite. He made it a point to be polite. Just grim.

DOJ wants your tips on Trayvon civil rights
President Obamas Department of Justice wants Americans tips on Trayvon Martins civil rights to build its federal case against George Zimmerman, the man acquitted of second-degree murder charges Saturday.
The DOJ is asking that all tips be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, told the Orlando Sentinel the federal government is appealing to civil rights groups and community leaders to help build its case.
Tom Perez, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, held a conference call on the matter Monday afternoon.
Arnwine said FBI representatives and several federal prosecutors were also on the call, along with Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Laura Murphy, Washington chapter head of the ACLU; and several national, state and locally based human relations groups.
They were calling on us to actively refer anyone who had any information, she told the Sentinel. They said they would very aggressively investigate this case.
WND reported Monday that Attorney General Eric Holder vowed to launch a federal civil-rights investigation into the case against Zimmerman.
Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction, and whether federal prosecution is appropriate, the Justice Department said.
In a televised address, Holder said, We must not, as we have too often in the past, let this opportunity pass. We are resolved, as you are, to combat violence involving or directed at young people to prevent future tragedies and to deal with the underlying attitudes, mistaken beliefs and stereotypes that serve as the basis for these too common incidents.
And we will never stop working to ensure that in every case, in every circumstance and in every community, he concluded, justice must be done.
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., and other House Democrats called a press conference Monday to urge the department to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is pressuring the DOJ to continue its probe by posting a petition on the website MoveOn.org.
The most fundamental of civil rights the right to life was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin, the group wrote.
They've got nothing on Zimmerman so they're going fishing--or rather, having the fish come to them. Can you imagine how many false reports there will be? Will Zimmerman be charged on the basis of false reports, only to have another abortive trial with no evidence?

MADRID (MarketWatch) -- Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.36% on Monday said it has sold over two million new iPhone 5 models in China, three days after its Dec. 14 launch. Apple said iPhone 5 will be available in more than 100 countries by the end of this month, making it the company's fastest iPhone rollout ever. "Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, setting a new record with the best first weekend sales ever in China," said Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive officer. "China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products." That news came as Citigroup analysts cut shares to neutral and their share price target to $575 from $675, questioning the strength of the iPhone 5 and citing "risks in the Apple story."

"AWA" Collection - D.L. Hansen Collection
David Akers (1975/88): The 1902 is a scarce date, essentially equal in terms of both population rarity and condition rarity to the 1901-S, 1905-S and 1906. It is not as rare as either the 1898 or the 1905 despite its considerably lower mintage. Most known 1902 twenties are AU, Unc., or Proof. Almost all the uncirculated specimens are only Unc-60 and choice and gem quality uncs, though known, are certainly rare.

As the World Turns
Friday, June 4th, 2010
Molly is pushed too far, Liberty pushes Gabriel away and Jack catches Carly.
Craig calls Dusty's and Liberty answers. He asks to speak to Johnny and tells the boy to get Liberty to bring him to see Gabriel and tell him he wants them to be a family.
"I see you're not in a coma," Parker observes when he runs into Gabriel in Old Town. Parker orders him to stay away from Liberty. They argue about who is worse for her until Johnny runs up to Gabriel and Liberty follows. Parker makes himself scarce.
At her place, Carly and Jack bicker about the case. He's sure that Gabriel's story doesn't add up and she reminds him he's off the case. She warns him not to ruin what they have. They debate who has their son's best interests at heart. He explains again that the evidence won't clear Parker. "Great! You're fighting again," Parker groans as he walks in. They pretend they aren't fighting and tell him to concentrate on calculus. Carly runs off.
At Lily's, Faith questions her mom about kissing Holden. Lily admits she still has feelings for him but claims it doesn't mean what she thinks. Faith is sure she's trying to snag him off of Molly. Lily downplays everything but she's glad her daughter is being nice to her. She has a glass of wine and stares at a photo of Holden. She passes out and dreams of getting married to Holden again and Faith telling her this is 'the best day ever'. Molly was just a 'substitute teacher with privileges', imaginary Faith says. Waking up, she decides to go and find Holden.
Liberty, Johnny and Gabriel go to Al's. Johnny talks about how much he misses his dad. Gabriel starts to feel uncomfortable. He stares sadly. Johnny runs off for ice cream and Liberty tells Gabriel not to feel guilty for putting his dad away. He walks out and she trails after him. She tells him that his father is a great father to Johnny and not a total creep. Gabriel is sick of Oakdale. He tries to kiss Liberty but she backs him off and says she can't.
Jack goes to the cells to see Craig and talk about the case. When Jack admits that he believes he's telling the truth, Craig warns him to watch out for Carly. He claims that she is the root of all of his problems. Falling in love with her caused his brain to burst and she completely dominated his life. She's bankrupted him emotionally, financially and morally. "She's toxic," he says. Jack gets upset and insists that this is all Craig's fault. Craig warns him that Carly will push him over the line too.
At the Old Mill, Holden and Silas fight. Silas taunts and Holden punches him out. Molly explains that he got stoned and tried to rape her. She admits that there really are videos of her and Silas. Holden ties up Silas and then goes out to get his phone. Silas continues taunting her, telling her that she will never be happy with Holden. When he tells her she is cheap and dirty, she picks the gun up. He continues pushing her and gets his hands loose. When he tells her she will always be his 'whore', she shoots him just as Holden returns. They can hear the police coming so Holden tells her what she has to tell the sheriff when he arrives.
Carly goes to the evidence room and asks the guard if she can have a look around for Jack's watch. It doesn't take much to talk the guard into letting her look at the evidence. When he takes a call, she grabs the glass sculpture that Gabriel was supposedly attacked with. After she pockets it, the guard returns and catches her. Jack walks in and says he's got this. They send the guard off. Carly claims she's just trying to help. She smashes the sculpture.
Faith sits with Parker at Java. She prods him to let Liberty go. He claims he never even thinks about her. As she quizzes him on history, Liberty walks in. Faith leaves and Liberty unloads on him about her problems. They say they've missed each other and hug.
Holden and Molly go to the farm house. He thinks the questioning went well and pulls out the recordings of the shooting and the sex. She asks him to destroy them. He wishes she had come to him for help. She cries and tells him she's sorry. He's sad that she's doubted him and tells her he wants to be with her. To prove it, he asks her to marry him.
Next on As The World Turns:
Reid gets a punch and an ultimatum.
Chris can't get Katie out of his mind.
Craig threatens Lucinda.
Carly thinks Jack is leaving her again.

How to grow it:
Summer holidays are synonymous with plum season.
Most plum varieties stem from two species, Prunus domestica and P salicina.
These are hardy and tolerate a range of soils.
The latter, also known as the European plum, is smaller with green-yellow skin, and better suited to the south of the country, as it requires longer cold temperatures for fruit set.
A European plum revered for its flavour is the greengage. Japanese plums (P. salicina) are the most productive in warmer regions.
They are usually red-skinned with red or yellow flesh.
A lovely home garden variety, which my grandmother has, is Sultan.
This is a small tree with large, dark red-fleshed, juicy fruit.
It is a good all-rounder.
For an excellent plum selection including heirlooms see: ediblegarden.co.nz
In the kitchen:
The small, blue-black, pale-fleshed Damson is beautiful, but super sour; ideal for jam, preserves.
Bake firm-fleshed plums halved and with other stone fruit.
Serve drizzled with honey and a dollop of creme fraiche.

Texas High School Student Loses Lawsuit Challenging RFID Tracking Requirement 412
Chris453 writes "Earlier today, a Texas High School student named Andrea Hernandez and her family lost the first round of the lawsuit filed to prevent her school district from forcing its students to wear RFID badges for tracking purposes. The judge in the case declared that the district's compromise for the student (a badge without the battery) was sufficient and dismissed any First Amendment issues. The badges are RFIDs powered by built-in batteries and one of the concerns was that the badges would be used to track students off-campus. Interestingly enough, the school district claims in court documents that 'The badges do not work off campus (PDF).' However, on their website, the school district confirms that it is conceivable that an off-campus RFID reader could access badge serial numbers, but tries to downplay the significance: 'Therefore, an intruder or "hacker" can only learn that the tag serial number is, for example, #69872331, but that does not provide any useful information. Has the district committed perjury by claiming that the active RFIDs magically deactivate themselves when off school property?"

I asked a few of the people I meet on my Scene Last Night rounds to name their favorite Thanksgiving dish. Here's what they said.
David Einhorn, Greenlight Capital Inc.
"Cranberry sauce -- not from the can, just cranberries and sugar."
John Griffin, Blue Ridge Capital LLC
"Anything my wife makes, especially the cranberry sauce -- with oranges."
Julian Robertson, Tiger Management LLC
"Wild rice."
Gary Cohn, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS)
"Oysters -- not shucked by me."
Mary Pat Christie, wife of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
"Our favorite dish is stuffing," says Mary Pat Christie. "It's basic, the Pepperidge Farm mix, celery, onions, butter."
Lee Ainslie, Maverick Capital
"Creamed onions." (They take five hours to make, his wife, Elizabeth, says.)
Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald
"Sweet potatoes with marshmallows."
Glenn Dubin, Highbridge Capital Management LLC
"I love turkey. I would love to eat turkey all year round, because I'm a chicken person. And I like sweet potatoes, but without the marshmallows."
Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist
"Definitely not the turkey. There's a reason you don't see it served at restaurants except diners."
Sallie Krawcheck, former Bank of America president
"I make a potato kugel -- it's basically a giant potato latke. And apple pie. The secret to a great apple pie is the crust. Do you know what the secret to a great crust is? Vodka."
Roy Niederhoffer, RG Niederhoffer Capital Management Inc.
"Sweet potatoes, because my late mom made them. For years she also served carrot cake, until I admitted that I didn't actually like it. Everyone around the table agreed, including my mom. That was our last carrot cake."
David Hasselhoff, actor
"I miss the dish my mother used to make: it was green beans, with a layer of marshmallows, and corn flakes on top."
Mark Teixeira, New York Yankees first baseman
"I love sweet potato casserole, with marshmallows and brown sugar. I can eat it with the turkey, the mashed potatoes and the stuffing, but then I could just have a bowl of it by itself as dessert."
Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate
"It's not any particular dish. What's important is that the meal is the same year after year."

OKay I don't think that person is Lelouch but if they wanted to being lelouch back to life they could cause well it's anime and maybe they can have kallen, suzaku and C.C go find him and put an end to geass forever I mean honestly the ending wasn't so wonderful now I'm even more curious to how it was suppose to have been if tanguchi got his way.

Oh Lelouch is alive. He kept the promise he made to C.C. She lives a normal life, Lelouch has all of eternity to atone for all the sins he's done. And Suzaku has been granted geass (I THINK). A happy ending for us the fans.

I'm starting to think that Kaguya had an inkling of what Lelouch's intentions were. In the conversation between CC and Kaguya see asked CC if she would beg for his life. At first I thought that maybe she was just taunting her but CC mentions that Kaguya was able to somewhat see Lelouch's true nature and then Kaguya gave a sad look. Maybe Kaguya thought that his plan was to take over the world and just make a better one, not be a tyrant like everyone else thought. But she disagreed with his means even if it was with good intentions. So she thought that with Suzaku dead there wouldn't be anyone to save him if he lost the battle so she was "requesting" CC to beg for his life. I mean, why out of everyone's else's reactions to Lelouch's death did they mostly center it on Kallen, Nunally, and Kaguya unless she got the jist of his intentions?

What do you disagree with me about then? You're not even sure about whether he's dead or alive. I'm convinced that he's done. And if the cart driver is really him, then I guess it kind of reminds me of Elfen Lied's ending, when there's someone at the door at the end. Of course, we think the Diclonus Lucy is done, but there's not a 100% certainty. But that's essentially what it's supposed to do. Keeps us guessing and thinking - go "over the top", beyond the end. His being alive or death is regardless. He achieved his meaning and everything. That's proper. That's how it should end. I'd rather have something so trivial like that nd look back to it and say, "Hmm.. Speaking of which.. Was that guy on the carriage / wagon Lelouch with C.C.? Meh, whatever.. " That's perfect. Besides, I don't really care for that, I mean the driving being Lulu didn't even cross my mind - remember how C.C. could talk to Marianne as she was "dead"? Although she wasn't really dead, it was portrayed that way. C.C. can speak to Lulu that way either way, so it doesn't bother me. It would have been a nice bonus, but all that matters is C.C. wins in the end.
As for C.C.'s name and Nunnally or Ohgi being alive, well that's just how it is. C.C.'s real name doesn't bother me - maybe it really is C.C.. V.V. was V.V. afterall . Besides, Nunnally and Ohgi didn't have to die. Their "play dead" features were enough to divert the plot course the way it ended up being. I still can't see how you'd work up their death within the last 3 episodes. Maybe Ohgi, when the ship dropped, but that'd have been a garbage ending for such a vital character.
So vague ending? Once again, I can see that it's all been predicted and everything, but from all the plot twists in R2, this is the way it should have ended. We had enough controversy in CG so far. The new R2 script did well in continuing the legacy. Enough questions been answered. Collect pieces, and we can figure out the probability of what happens onward, if things have really not been answered.
Diedrupo: Suzaku was loyal to Lelouch too. They had something to accomplish. They go back to a history of friendship. Of course, their relationship of the time was very bad, but they teamed up in the end. I didn't see Jeremiah crying when Lulu got killed. Besides, Orange-kun demonstrated full loyalty. He clearly understood what needed to be done. There's obviously reasons for both sides, but I don't think there was much I could do to resist Lulu's planned method of recreating the world - I'd probably agree with it.
Man, this is Passion of Christ and The Dark Knight together. Damn. Lol

Actually, if anyone in the audience (us) understands Lelouch, would find this a satisfying ending. This is what Lelouch wants to do the most - recreate the world, bring stability and happiness to everyone, relieve others of their sins, and atone for his sins.
Those who did not like the ending probably don't know the real Lelouch - they see one of his countless masks and have been deceived by him.
Like I said, the only problem is with CC because she seems so sidelined towards the end. Too minor a role to play for a major character. This could have been solved with Lelouch traveling with CC at the end and calling her by her real name (re: Lawrence and Horo anyone? Maybe they can go sell some animal hide)

Not a bad way to end off this series, even if it meant the death of Lelouch. And the world did change for the better so SATISFACTORY ENDING GET(for Lelouch).
I am curious though, Lelouch was still hesitant to geass Nunnally until she somehow confirms that her train of though was parallel to that of Lelouch, that she wanted hatred to be directed at Damocles, whereas Lelouch wanted it to be directed at him. So he would have faltered had she had other ideas?
IMO, people are reading too much into the survival of Lelouch though, some of the scenes that seem to suggest that he survived are just plain shots, nothing more than that. Pan up of man driving the cart? Just a pre-focus part to C.C on cart. And C.C was looking up to the sky when she voiced out her thoughts, rather than the directing them to the driver.
