this must have been the perfect girl to shoot. but as far as style, i can't see anything, besides the fact that she likes color. but she does look like a fun splash of life! :D
Careful here, Sart. This is kiddy playing dress up time almost.
eek! some kind of fekakta mash-up of Kelly Osbourne and Daphne Guinness
I'm dying to see her shoes…
she is gorgeous. fantastic photo.
Congratulations! You've been featured on i-D magazine (uk) this month!!!
I love the colors and patterns with her fair skin. I'm even glad the sky is overcast. I just wish her arms weren't crossed.
I don't like it. It just seems like standard teen fare, bright neons, sullen attitude. I've seen a million girls dressed like this.
What usually characterizes the people on this blog that are so well dressed is their attitude, and the look on their faces- amusement, care, laughter, but most of all, experience. They enjoy dressing, and have a unique understanding of style. Their personalities are expressive and original, and you can see it in their pictures.
To me, this girl has none of these categories. She's not inspirational in any way. She doesn't look well dressed, but worst of all, she's not particularly interesting. Her picture conveys nothing to me. It's a good picture, but I can't relate to the subject.
This blog is about inspiration. It influences people. This seems disappointing.
She's got attitude.
She has a very personal expression of style, and that's what we're all aiming for, isn't it?
shes so beautiful! she only adds to that with her orginal outfit, it looks amazing :)
Beautiful face. I dunno why but somehow this works.
check out that sneer! she looks pretty cool.
Wow — she's a saucy one! And despite her stance and attempt at appearing sullen, I believe I see a twinkle in her eye and a bit of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. I wish I had the moxie to express myself like that with clothing when I was her age. Love her perfect manicure and with matching lip stain.
And Anon 6:48 — lighten up. she's young and fun! Remember fun?
I think some people are forgetting the point of fashion. It's self expression (with a bit of coordination and confidence). This girl embodies all of these elements in this outfit. Props to her!
Decent post, however, i fail to see any difference between this photo and what Madonna was doing in the 80′s.
The turquoise accessories elongated her neck therefore standing out her luminous complexion.
Utterly naturel.
Gorgeous ensemble. Very English looking, very 80s punk English style. Love it.
Her dye job would look frightful on so many people but I love it on her.
So few really young people express themselves as they wish to sartorially for fear of being teased or isolated. Good for her and she looks fab and like she'd be interesting and fun to hang out with if I were the same age. I'm pretty sure we'd goss about how much we love Morrissey. Just a stab in the dark.
To Anon 6:48 PM,
This girl has all what you said! She has a perfect attitude that makes her look, and she seems to enjoy dressing up and has a unique sense of style! If her style doesn't suit you, it doesn't mean she hasn't any.. Just wish you would accept that people have different senses of style, and this is what this blog is about… What doesn't inspire you might inspire others :)
Don't mean to attack you or anything, but just wish you'd be more considerate of other tastes..
Peace! :)

I think there is a lot of thought in her outfit. The pink nail polish that matches closely to her hair clips. The jewelry that works so well with her dress. Plus, what a phenomenal pout! She knows she has a great pout too; the lip piercing just draws the attention right there.
I'm not in love with this look, but at least it's truly different and expressive. I get really weary of people who only accept personal style as "personal style as expressed within really narrow stylistic (read: designer) parameters and in really tired ways".
Head to toe black or black + other nuetral with vixen heels is really tired, and as lovely as this blog is, it's as tiresome here as everywhere else.
This look has a great deal of color, fun, and she probably really likes her clothes and isn't too concerned about the scrutiny of a bunch of mainstream fashionistas. It's not classic OR groundbreaking, but that doesn't mean she has no personal style.
Her somewhat anti-fashion statement is so against the "classic" backdrop.. Very Nice..
Hey hope you post a little on the Collette party! :)
Not many people can make an inch of dark black roots look like it was done purpose, but the whole thing looks like she threw it on without thinking and it came out perfectly.
The the previous comment, Welcome to fashion! It's impossible to wear a style that hasn't been done before; everything from the high-waisted trousers on women, to slim cut suits on men that we've seen on here all have their origins in another time.
millions of madonna-wanna-bes from the eighties are just rolling their eyes right now.
Mothra likes color.
Hmmm there are many conflicting points of views here I see. Well, I think this girl doesn't look too particularly well dressed, I do enjoy the pattern and colors she uses, but for some reason the outfit seems to be off, perhaps it is the thin strapped top and leggings that throw it off for me. As for her hair, that is exactly what I'd like to color my own hair. I wonder how or where she got it done…
I too am a young teenager, and I think if there's any time to experiment with extreme hair color, the time is now!
To my eye this young woman has style, and it's not just 80′s Madonna-type punk. I lived through that, and this certainly references it, but this is also different. In short, she looks great, and her look has a number of interesting things happening.
Another thing: I'm getting a little tired of people criticizing the subjects that don't smile. I for one have a lot of difficulty "turning on" a smile for a camera.
Ode to Ab fab?
Wonder if she was even born when Madonna looked like that?
let's use this photo as a reminder that the neon colored, sneering, mismatched punk girl was, in the first place, a british invention. in this sense, nowadays, she's something of a classic. i say bravo! to this young lass, beacause despite her attempt at a defiant sneer, she can't help but be cute as a button.
Now this is a picture where there is way too much going on.She looks like a christmas tree. There is actually so much that I can┬┤t focus on anything.This is an example of how not to dress.Cheers for that!
I love her attitude and the punkish contrast to the country road. Very inspiring.
I like it, but the things that throw it off for me are the chunky bracelets and the undershirt, however the undershirt brings out the bright blue of the turqoise in the necklace. Maybe it would work better with a greenish shade of tourqoise?
But all of it's a moot point, since being mitchy-matchy defeats the unique avant-garde look she's obviously going for.
Who is commenting on this blog? 30+? so elitist. Its the watch and the kneehighs. I don't know about those animal print tights, but I would have to see the shoes.
i guess perfect women in newest prada heels does get boring. this girl is like someone i'd see anywhere, but not once on your blog. so a bit of variety in that sense i guess. she has nice hair.
I love it! The quintessential teen.
Great variation of prints and colours.
she's very pretty (love the expression in her eyes), but i must say, the combination of roots and tacky accessories really isn't doing it for me. :(
my favorites are the bracelets and the lipstick. i want those bracelets. that necklace color reminds me of the fabulous girl in red with the turquoise belt. i'm loving that color.
Sweet! The tourquoise necklace, the rose color, the kitchen print and her platinum hair are so delicate. But that's balanced against animal print tights, folded arms, pierced lip.
It looks very fresh (and cheeky!) to me.
I'd love to see the print skirt better. Is it an apron over a black skirt?
– desertwind
PS — I'm a relic from the 80s, so I can say: Girls like this young lady influenced Madonna and not the other way around.
This reminds me of those happiest of times, when I did not dress for anyone but myself. When things were thrown on like Jackson Pollack and happy accidents occurred daily.
I love those colors together, so anytime I see them it brings me joy.
well it makes a different from all those good-taste parisiennes! She's got some style going on – but it might not be to your taste.
Let's not forget that English street style has had a massive impact on global fashion – Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano anyone????
I love her. Like a blond frida kahlo, somehow. It is so great to see some COLOUR once in a while!!
she gives me the impression of a punked up version of sofia coppola's marie antoinette!
Primark makes an appearance on The Sartorialist! I do believe that's the same patent bag I have, costs six quid :)
Hmmm….a bit too "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" for me. But she's a cute girl, and I hope she does have some fun.
she is amazing. her outfit is creative and fun but i think the black keeps it from being obnoxious. and though some people might see girls like this every day, i certainly don't, so thanks for putting her up!
Anon 6:48
Are you for real? The fashion industry is the opposite of everything you said – it's not meant to be serious so stop making it serious.
Wow, she certainly has a point of view! The colour mix with the pink and green is actually quite delicate.
There is really nothing special about her outfit; however, she does have attitude and originality!
modern-day marie antoinette
Her choice of colors and patterns shows some sophistication. I don't like this outfit, but I'd love to see what she's wearing in a few years.
things i like about this ensemble:
-the perfect hair, and the bright candy blue and pink accessories that call attention to it
-the bold mash-up of patterns, esp. taking traditional "feminine" prints (floral, polka dot) and making them punk by clashing them
i think this is a much more sophisticated and feminine take on punk than one usually sees. and she's a teenager who looks nothing like anyone on mtv, the hills, etc. bravo!
well done representing someone fashionable who isn't wearing $8000.00 worth of clothing.
i'd love to see more of it.
I love the beads on her. With beads like these, you either have to wear LOTS of them or none at all. And I love that she paired them with something simple and young. Overall, a great look for the younger set.
As a former Madonna wannabe, I appreciate this homage to the styles from my youth. It makes me suspect I might have been a rather cute teenager. ;-)
I agree that this look has become a classic. Thoughtfully assembled, classic ensembles will always look fresh to me.
Has anyone noticed what a Beautiful complexion this young woman has, or that she posses a Pre-Raphaelite glamour. Her eyes speak volumes!
Her assemblage look does border a bit on generic, but her sense of color and texture belie a subtlety. It is hard to be young and self-defining. Courage is always more relevant than result when it comes to fashion.
IÔÇÖd say she is the punk princess of Lacroix, wouldnÔÇÖt you??
Hmm.. if you think this girl looks amazing, you should come to london and check out all the cool kids hanging out here…
I like the overall look. She's young and has great colored hair for her complexion; the dark roots don't bother me at all.
At that age I wouldn't expect her to have a fully developed sense of style. This is the age she should be experimenting with bright colors and different looks. My teenagers and young adult went through a Goth phase in which I would have given anything to see a bright color in evidence anywhere on their persons.
Also, I don't think she has a sullen look or a sneer. She's simply not smiling. Believe me, I know a sullen look and a sneer when I see one (see afore mentioned teenagers)!
There's a mile of difference between Prada shoes and "tacky accessories". I believe the tacky accessories" are what is affordable for her. We can't expect everyone to be wearing designer clothing.
I think Sart is hitting the mark and what HE sees and likes.
Sorry, but she looks like any mallrat in the MidWest. Yuck.
I have been viewing ure blog for sometime in various spaces; I am very much a fan.
pertaining the image: this picture is very avant-garde, but I enjoy all of ure captured images.
I don't mean this in a mean sense, and I doubt if this comment will pass Sart the sensor, who must be very considerate in protecting his subjects. But most people in this blog dress to express power, whereas this girl dresses to express a lack of power. Her sullen attitude is real. I think she knows the future is not bright, hence her fu attitude, and what's sad is that in another 10 years, she'll probably have given up and will be buying her Dickies at the local hardware store. It's really not about style, this look. It's about anti-style.
This is someone I would have been friends with in high school. I love the tall socks over the patterend tights. I wish we could see another pic of her when she's 30-something. Great style. I'm sure it will evolve with age.
Just found you and wow!!!! Love these on the street, looks. Great work all round. Will be coming back for more and more. Hope springs eternal to put a little more pizzaz in my day and on myself. Woman of a certain age…maybe it isn't over yet . Thanks for dong this! all best,Jan
The skin, the attitude, the posture — this young lady knows who she is and isn't shy to let the world know it.
I'm so OVER sullen. What does it contribute? K Q:-(
She has a very cool and inspiring style, great necklace colour!
So far, what IÔÇÖve heard are complete opposites: sheÔÇÖs original. SheÔÇÖs unoriginal, amused, unhappy, unwilling to smile for the cameras, anti-fashion, and mainstream.
Arguably, no trend is new, and absolutely no one is unaffected by it. Whether sheÔÇÖs a perfect representation of a London punk is debatable.
Aside from all of that, itÔÇÖs true that what is inspirational to me is not to others. One of the flaws I find in the picture is that while she may have a popular look, or a typical ÔÇśteenageÔÇÖ persona, she doesnÔÇÖt do anything with it. ItÔÇÖs hard to be original, but certain people stand out in a crowd because of their demeanor and appearance, and as far as IÔÇÖm considered, sheÔÇÖs brightly colored, but boring.
IÔÇÖm not trying to malign supporters of her look, or the girl herself. However, I do find this disappointing. She may be young, and having fun with her look, but that does not make her fashionable. And for the same reason that others think that sheÔÇÖs admirable, a representation of a particular brand of trend, I find myself disliking the fact that her appearance seems so disposable. To me, it does not seem like an expression of personal style.
Wish we could see her legs and boots!
i don't see anything special here. has any one of these commentators been on an American college campus lately? i see tons of people dressed this way daily, especially with the rise of American Apparel in the last few years.
love the colors.
Dunno. There's something about the 'English Lady' caption used for this fresh, punky, beautiful Anna Suiesque creature that gives me a giggly fit. So let me lend another seeming platitude while we're trying to label her style: she owns it. And I do hope that's a slight smirk or a tempered flirty smile on her face, because she certainly made my day.
Great shot, Scott. I like it. You captured some wonderful colour here. I like this young lady's outfit, though I could do without the lip piercing. She looks particularly English to me. Maybe it's her beautiful skin. Very, very pretty. She reminds me of my younger days and my girlfriends at school. During term, of course, we all wore the school uniform. Conservative and a bit boring. At holidays and during the summer, however, my girlfriends would go the opposite direction and display the same creativity and fun in their sartorial choices that this young lady is showing. Creative people should be encouraged. Refreshing.
Anon sez: "As a former Madonna wannabe, I appreciate this homage to the styles from my youth. It makes me suspect I might have been a rather cute teenager. ;-) "
Yes. And, along the lines of "Youth is wasted on the young": Gosh I wish someone had been able to convince the young me to forget my plump thighs appreciate the fleeting gifts of being young. The glow of my skin and that burning energy must have made me been quite beautiful to others while I bowed my head to hide the occasional blemish. I want to say that to this next generation, but But of course good luck getting them to believe how exquisite they are by the mere fact of their youth alone.
to 6.48 anon's remarks. You seem to be taking this way too seriously. The pictures are interesting and cover a wide range of looks/types/people – how could you "relate" to ALL of those ? Its good you have seen a million girls like this but I haven't (perhaps cos Im in a different country to you) so it is "interesting" to me and I can get several "insirational" ideas that I can adapt for my look. I love this site in that it is so diverse.
Controversial I suppose, but I love this. All her bracelets are hair accessories seem like an understated nod to Japanese "decora"…very cool.
Bring asexy back: http://theonepercentclub.blogspot.com
just to add about the photo itself,
is it photoshop or is it my eyes,
the photo looks rather unnatural.
very different than what you usually shoot…
…especially the colours.
bless you sir for not being so affected and brave enough to move beyond what is simply expected of you and your site. she exudes personal style…no matter
I don't like it, I am not attracted to this and don't find it appealing, but she has her own personal style and has expressed her individuality. :)
Bravo for her experimenting, but unfortunately this experiment failed
That said however, I feel the inspiration here is not so much about what she is wearing or how, but that she put herself out there
She looks like a cool 21st century Little Edie, but the mother in me wishes she hadn't added the distracting lip piercing to her pretty face.
when's this mean girl going to crack a smile? I saw her in the eiffel tower shot on your style post too. In the garden she reads to me like a high school hall thug you'd get shoved by as you walked past. At the eiffel tower she seems to say quit following me you jerk..definitely not your usual happy encounter on the street shots
Well:at least i can wear my turquoise beads in autumn!
personally I love it, I'm young and get the style…but I can see that the older ones that commented this blog don't. I like how she goes crazy with color, yet still don't "clash", although that might not be the best way to phrase it…but I still think that she has style…it's just different. Hip, young, and not caring about what other people think…that's what it should be about. yet still classic…
Such a diverse blend of reactions for one photo. Depending on your personal experience, this girl evokes style or lack of style, rebellion or conformity. For me personally, she is unique. I have become increasingly bored with the style of young girls here in los angeles. A grey american apparel t-shirt, black leggings and some random scarf- all day, everyday. I would love to see this girl on the street here.
I like this picture for its composition. The subject's contrasting colours on her accessories and make up against the pale yellows and greys of the autumn air. "Vibrance in autumn" is what comes to mind when looking at this picture.
Cheryl Marie Cordeiro
Love it!
She's certainly one of the most interesting individuals I've seen on this blog. Such a refreshing change from BLACK, BLACK, BLACK!!
she looks more comfortable to me. her face is relaxed and she is beautiful.
some people just need to remember, although this type of fashion may not be most favorable to them, fashion is also in the way a person carries themselves and is also presented in their personalities. you cannot judge a personal fashion style simply by viewing a photo. there is a story behind it all. it is then when you understand and appreciate.
this is real style.
love the colors
Oh, my God!!!!!!
she looks as though she has tried really hard to copy an outfit and it hasn't quite worked…there is no styling behind the outfit – it's just random and thrown together – and not in a good way!
she's really confused! she wears color, but she's got that i-am-so-bored face.! i don't really think that this works..i would like to see her shoes, though..! helen=)

Noel Hush wins Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences
10 December 2012
Emeritus Professor Noel Hush, from the School of Molecular Bioscience, has won the Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences from Elsevier and the editors of international journal Chemical Physics Letters.
He won the award for his contributions to electron transfer processes and will receive his gold medal and $20 000 prize on 9 April 2013 at the meeting of the American Chemical Society to be held in New Orleans, USA.
The Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences is awarded every two years to an individual scientist who has made significant and creative contributions, especially those of a fundamental nature, to any of the disciplines of molecular sciences. The prize is named after Professor Ahmed Zewail, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1999.
"This award recognises the important role that theoretical chemistry - particularly quantum chemistry - can play in advancing research from the most basic to the most important of technical topics, such as alternative solar energy capture in photovoltaics, catalysed hydrogen production and molecular electronics," said Emeritus Professor Hush.
"Electron transfer is the fundamental process in all these areas, and it is certainly pleasing to see recognition of its very wide-ranging significance."
He developed theories with broad applications for predicting and explaining electron transfer processes - the most basic of chemical reactions. His elegant theories are based on application of molecular quantum mechanics, and explain why the time‐scale of such reactions ranges from femtoseconds (photochemical) to milliseconds (biological) to centuries (geological).
His work has had wide impact in fields ranging from corrosion to photosynthesis and solar energy and molecular electronics.
Nobel Laureate Professor Ahmed Zewail remarked, "Noel has made profound contributions to molecular science. Over six decades, he continues his creative work on various frontiers, from electron transfer theory to molecular electronics. I am delighted that he has been awarded the prize."
As part of the Ahmed Zewail Prize, Emeritus Professor Hush will speak on his work at the American Chemical Society annual meeting on 9 April 2013 and is asked to invite three colleagues to each deliver a supporting lecture covering their work in a related field.
"I will present an overview of the development of the subject, emphasising the importance of presenting theory in a form easily accessible to experimenters," he said.
"I have chosen three people to speak at the Symposium. The first is Professor Jeffrey Reimers FAA, from the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney, who will discuss advanced methods for quantum mechanical calculations in biology and nanotechnology - an area in which he is an internationally recognised authority.
"The other two are very highly outstanding theoretical chemistry graduates from this University. Gemma Solomon, who graduated from her PhD in 2007 and is currently Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark, strongly supported by European Research funding, will speak on electron transfer through molecular 'wires' and assemblies, with application to molecular electronic circuitry.
"Laura McKemmish, who graduated from her Bachelor of Science in 2011, will discuss the theory of Sir Roger Penrose FRS, which he published in his book 'The Emperor's New Mind' in 1989, that human consciousness results from quantum controlled electron transfer processes in the neuronal cytoskeleton. It may be the first time that a first‐year PhD student has delivered a full lecture to such a major gathering!"
Emeritus Professor Hush was Foundation Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Sydney, a discipline he established here in 1972. Prior to returning to Australia, he worked in the Universities of Manchester and Bristol. He has also held numerous prestigious visiting scientist posts at universities in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
He is an author of over 300 publications and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, the Royal Society in the UK, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences in the US. He was awarded the US Robert A Welch prize for chemistry in 2007.

text: Convenience store clerk Sammay Blackwell was attacked by a creepy customer who looked up while paying for her gas and told her, stone-faced, "You look like Casey Anthony." After Blackwell's shift ended, she left the store and got into her car — where she noticed the same woman was staring at her from inside of her own vehicle. Blackwell left the premises and began to drive home — until after a few miles, the woman appeared behind her and rammed into the back of her car. Blackwell continued driving until she pulled over onto a parking lot, where the woman hit her again, this time causing her car to flip twice into the air. When the vehicle came to a rest, she "played dead" until the crazed woman — who was charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon — finally left her alone. We're looking for a moral to the story here, but it's kind of just sad.

Government powers handed to army as Hosni Mubarak resigns
The news that Hosni Mubarak resigns his post was greeted with jubilation from thousands of people across Egypt. Mubarak left Cairo for the family home in Sharm el-Sheikh, which is located on the Red Sea in the Sinai Peninsula. Vice President Omar Suleiman made the announcement on television. Mubarak has transferred powers of government to the military. People in the country would have taken out huge personal installment loans to help finance their cause; now they don't have to because they got the results they were searching for. Article resource - Government powers handed to army as Hosni Mubarak resigns by MoneyBlogNewz.
Governmental powers placed in hands of Egyptian army
President Hosni Mubarak resigned in Egypt, as outlined by Al Jazeera. This is just what the people, protesting for weeks, wanted. Numerous though that Mubarak wouldn't ever resign leading to brutal force even more than what was happening after his Thursday night speech, although his resignation was released in the morning. The resignation of Mubarak was released by Vice President Omar Suleiman. He explained Friday morning that the governing body of Egyptian military, Supreme Council, will now has control in Egypt.
Mubarak leaves before announcement
The announcement originated from Vice President Omar Suleiman after confirmations that Mubarak was left. Cairo no longer had Mubarak or his family living there. On the coast of the Red Sea within the Sinai Peninsula is Sharm el-Sheikh which is where Mubarak went to in military airport. Mubarak owns estate there. This was for vacations. Mubarak seemed like he would never resigned, despite his concessions weren't accepted by protestors. MSNBC reports that Mohamed El-Baradei said the resignation was "the greatest day in my life" as Egypt has been "liberated after decades of repression" as the opposition to Mubarak figure.
Only transition to new government what military wants
The situation staying calm and orderly was what the Egyptian army had hoped for. The military has promised to repeal the controversial emergency powers laws that grant broad powers to the government in times of crisis, as outlined by ABC. The laws were passed after the assassination of Anwar Sadat, whom Mubarak succeeded. The anger at Mubarak in Tahrir Square, or Liberation Square, has now changed to happiness.

Didn't Z23 specify special interior trim with comfort weave vynl seats and molded door panels?

Well - it cannot. It isn't.
Assembling a kit into a machine is way past the stage of creativity. And if there are layers in the product, then it is essential to do the assembly in the right sequence. If you assemble a computer, it makes no sense to close the box before you have applied the motherboard, CPU, memory modules - or connected the cables.
I think this passage shows that Pirsig was not really knowing what he was talking about. I also think that I misunderstood him. I saw in him a book trying to reconcile the physical fact-oriented and political-emotional worlds. But in reality - as I see it now - he advocated emotional supremacy. The final stage of this is having Donald Trump as president of the USA.
In my view (!) there are real physical facts, real physical wrongs and real physical rights. There is no way that rhethorical or political power or strong wills can suspend the physical or chemical or biological laws. Real science sometimes can find loopholes, but that's about it.

Robert said that great technology and life saving therapies are often sadly too expensive to be used in low-resource environments but at least in the area of DNA analysis, the OpenPCR machine delivers an important tool to a wider audience.
"What is so brilliant about theOpenPCR project is that it can be used by almost anyone with a basic understanding of molecular biology, and isn't cost prohibitive to get started," Robert said. The machines are already being used in collaboration with CSIRO Education to introduce school kids to experiments in DNA that they wouldn't have access to. The 'open' stands for 'open-source' and Robert said that this approach provided huge potential for the application of the OpenPCR machines.
"We're really proud to be the first group promoting this machine in Australia, but as they start to catch on with education, research and hobbyists, the applications in which they will be used is only limited by people's imagination."
Robert is inviting people at the Faire to come by and 'play with DNA' and have a chat about this exciting new field. Click to jump for a video on OpenPCR made at at a stateside Maker Faire.

Well, Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, and it just keeps getting better! This year was so fun. Seth loved opening the presents, he kept getting more and more and asking, "what's inside?" while he was opening them. We spent Sunday thru Christmas morning down in Preston, then hauled our way to Rigby. It took us nearly 3 1/2 hours to make a usually 2 hour trip. Anyways, after opening presents and eating a late lunch with Brad's family, we made it to our house and had our own little Christmas. Seth was in Heaven, 3 Christmas's, what more could a kid want! Luke liked it too, but he really only wanted to eat the wrapping paper. All in all it was a great day! Seth and Luke in their new pajamas with their presents.
So our new year has been going great as well. I know it's just started, but there's nothing to complain about, well maybe the cold weather. Here are a few pictures of the boys outside. They don't really like the cold, but we tried to brave it one day.

i) Ocelot Unit
Rather regrettably, I really suck at these guys, so I'm gonna hand you
over to a walkthrough sent to me by Mustaine_86, which worked very well
for me.
Stun Grenades – 5/5
Make sure you have the MK22 and Stun Grenades out of your backpack. As
soon as the fight starts, equip the MK22 and go into first-person view
mode. Stand on your tiptoes (press L2 + R2 together) and shoot the guy
outside. It doesn't matter where you shoot him, he'll be put to sleep
eventually. Now crawl under the bed and equip the stun grenades and
wait for the door to be shot down. When it is, throw a stun grenade
outside. There are 4 guys outside the door, so depending on how many
you have taken out with the first stun grenade; you may need to throw
another. Either way, when you see that there are only 3 enemies
remaining, crawl out from under the bed and go out the door. Stand to
the left side of the tall boxes which are beside the door and wait for
the guy on the roof to stop (he will stop on the right hand side of the
roof as you look in normal view). When he stops, shoot him in the head
with the MK22. Now head out of this room and go south. Crouch behind
some boxes and look to the east. There is a guard patrolling around the
grass outside the walls. Press L2 + R2 together to sit up and shoot him
in the head with the MK22. Now head to the very west of the building.
When you come to the wall beside the stairs, stand at the corner of the
wall. Go into first-person view and peek around the corner (hold L2)
and shoot the guard in the head with the MK22. You will get extra
points for no kills and no alerts.
Received this from The Sorrow, works on both Normal and Special, though
personally better on Normal
Start by equipping suppressor and shooting those two guys through the
window by mk22, and then quickly hide under the bed. When doors will
blow up, throw your stun grenade. If it not stuns all four, don't
worry- just shoot them by mk22. In that moment you should have around
4-5 mk22 rounds. Let's bring some action, then. Jump through the window
and get to the ladder and get on the roof (don't care about alert or
damage) run to that sniper and perform circle+direction (that powerful
CQC throw) roll down the roof and run south-there will be another guy,
circle+dir. Now run west and throw another ocelot. Now run northwest,
there is last one, circle+direction. That's all. Simple, right? No kill
and time under 1.45 gives you easy victory. Sometimes you can get
killed (not often) when this happens just try again. On second attempt
you should see the record. Try to dodge some bullets by rolling and
watch out for knife attacks (rule number 1: be quick). This may sound
difficult, but this is really easiest method.
My Score: 90257
Top Score: 90000
ii) Ocelot
This can be a bit of a pain, due to a lack of proper equipment, such as
the SAA, but nonetheless, it is one of the easiest fights.
At the beginning of the fight, hold R2 whilst the fight loads, allowing
you to pick the MK22 quickly. From here there are two approaches. You
can both run behind a rock, and use jump out shots to hit him, or you
can use my method. This is to stay where you are, and fire in first-
person, using the shoulder buttons to lean to see Ocelot. In the
unlikely event you run out of ammo, run to the right, there is some
there. Tricks are a good approach as well. Things such as shooting his
hat off give you a free shot. When you see the cutscene where he's
talking about reloading, skip it to get a free shot. Also, using my
method, there is a good chance he'll come to the crevice to challenge
you to a quick-draw duel, which lets you shoot him too.
My Score: 100543
Top Score: 90000
iii) The Pain
Bees ladies and gentlemen, bees. Those shall bee (sorry, had to) your
main adversary this fight. You must learn to avoid the various attacks
that come at you whilst shooting The Pain.
Grenade – 5/5
Stun Grenade – 5/5
WP Grenade – 5/5
As soon as the fight starts, shoot at him with your MK22, repeatedly.
You can normally reduce his stamina by about one bar before you must
stop this. This needs to be stopped because about then, he will wrap
himself in his 'Bee Armour', making him invulnerable to you attacks.
When he does this, swim to the island north-east of you that has the
MK22 ammo on it. Throw a normal grenade (you can use the others, but
these obscure you vision less) at him, and hold you MK22 at the ready.
The grenade should disperse the armour, making him vulnerable to your
attacks again. Once you've reduced his stamina by half, he becomes more
aggressive, firing those bullet bees at you. Just repeat the previous
strategy to finish him off. A few things to note: when climbing onto a
platform, you are immune to everything. Head shots take quite a bit of
stamina from him, so if you can, aim for the head. When he yells
'Grenade!' wait a second or two, then get in the water. Immediately
climb back out, and the blast won't hurt you. The same applies with
bullet bees. 'Tommy Gun!' don't stay still, or you can be minced in an
instant. Just run about on your platform landing shots whenever
possible. One last thing: stay on and around the platform with the MK22
ammo, otherwise it can seem a long swim to reload, and it'll give him
time to get his bees back.
For those of you who hate grenades cos you can't aim well with them,
your prayers have been answered by Sanjuro
I just found out another way to defeat The Pain on Normal Mode (well,
it worked better for me, maybe because I hate to use grenades).
Yooouu need:
- Grenade (optional)
Okay, when the battle starts, put out your MK22 and aim at his head.
This can be a bit difficult sometimes, because he moves very fast, and
his stamina isn't reduced that much when you hit his neck. When he puts
on his "Bee armour", equip your M37 (shotgun) and fire three shots at
him. If he yells "Grenade!", don't stop shooting. If you hit him 3
times before his bees carry the grenade, it won't hit you. If you see
the bees carrying the grenades flying at you, just shoot them with your
shotgun. The grenade will fall into the water and you won't be hurt.
Okay, when the bees don't cover him anymore after firing at him with
the shotgun, he should say "My hornets!". Now you can shoot him with
your MK22.
It took me less than 50 seconds until his stamina was reduced by half.
Now, The Pain will use his bullet bees. Don't let them hit you, so jump
into the water and swim to the island to the north-east. Take the MK22
and M37 ammo lying there and look at The Pain. If he's not covered with
bees, try shooting his head with your MK22, and if he's covered, either
fire 3 shots at him with your shotgun, or throw a grenade. Keep doing
this until he's dead.
If you see a lot of bees around you and you can't move, just don't do
anything, they won't hurt you. When you see non-bullet-bees fly at you,
also continue shooting him, they won't hurt you either.
My Score: 102862
Top Score: 100000
iv) The Fear
People fighting this guy for the first time are probably gonna be
scared as hell. He's super fast, invisible and shoots arrows at you
from seemingly nowhere. On top of that, there's a chance if you're
going for stamina kill, he'll replenish his stamina. But fear not (sooo
many puns, so little time), it can be very simple.
Thermal Goggles
Survival Knife (optional)
Get out your MK22, and look up. Fire two shots into him, and then equip
your Thermal Goggles. There's no real trick to this, just track his
movements, and fire when he lands. If you hear a noise like a creaking
floorboard, take evasive action to prevent getting wounded, and return
to your place. When his stamina gets below two bars, he will say that
he is hungry, and go to shoot something down. This is a great time to
shoot him, because he is 1. visible to the naked eye, and 2. staying
still, so he won't be able to get the food he was after. You can either
continue doing this, or you can make it easy on yourself. At the base
of a tree, to Snake's left when you start, there are two mushrooms.
Shoot them, cut them or whatever, and leave them there. When The Fear
gets hungry, he'll go straight for them, yelling they're poisoned.
Great opportunity to shoot him. After, he'll climb back up a tree, when
you can shoot him more. He'll leap around some more too, so get more
shots in. With a bit of luck, you should down him easily before he can
get a chance to replenish his stamina. If he does, retry. My best time
for this fight was 54 seconds, that's how easy it can be.
This is a good tip from Jacko
I defeated The Fear simply with a shotgun and thermal goggles. At the
very beginning of the battle I equipped the goggles, looked up and shot
him with the m-37. After that, hold still and turn around in first
person view and every time he lands on a branch, you should be able to
land a shot at him. This way I beat him in 1 minute and 2 seconds, high
score over 90000, first place. Try it :)
My Score: 121845
Top Score: 90000
v) The End
Everybody has their own way of doing this, so I'm gonna list as many as
possible. This is a very open fight, allowing you to use any means you
wish to complete it.
Thermal Goggles
Regardless of how you intend to beat him, to begin with, run to the far
right of the screen, to the wall. Now, run to the north, hugging the
wall; you must get to the furthest exit to Sokrovenno North, under the
raised area. Proceed to the north. When in S. North, go around until
you reach another raised area. From here, return to S. South. Stalk up
to The End; you should he able to see him pretty well. Now here is the
choice. You can go for kill or stamina-kill. I'll use kill for the
moment. Equip the M63, aim it at him, and unload ammo until you see The
End Topple forward. Turn around instantly. After the flash, turn to see
him running. Follow, constantly firing the M63, you can get a few more
shots in before you lose him. Once he is gone from sight, equip the
Thermal Goggles, you will see his footprints. Follow them, and if you
suspect you are close, go into FPV to look around. Once you see him,
stalk, and shoot. Turn away once he topples and shoot after him after
the flash. Repeat until he is down.
Alternatively, use the MK22 to tranquilise him. Three shots once you've
snuck on him, turn away, give chase, sneak up, three shots. Repeat
until he is finished.
If you have any trouble finding him, equip the D.Mic and scan the area
for heavy breathing, snoring or him saying 'This...is The End'. Once
you've got his general direction, equip the thermal goggles to have a
look around to try to see him. Another thing to look for is the light
reflecting off of his scope, which gives away his position very easily.
The downside of this is that the light prevents you from getting a good
shot. Though with the strategy above, you shouldn't need these tips.
This tip from Jacko also definitely has its merits, though he can be a
pain to find after you've done it
I found out in the battle with The End, that in Normal mode, you can
easily snipe The End from the first area. At the very beginning, go
left of the starting point about one to three in game meters and look
north. When in the right spot, you should see a tree with Green tree
python hanging and right underneath the snake you can see The Ends'
scope flashing. Equip the SVD and point in FPV the Dragunov into that
direction. Then zoom in and you can easily land at least three shots in
The Ends head. But you have to bee quick, he will see your scope
flashing too, if you aim for too long before you shoot. Then follow him
and use the same methods and you can get him. It's quite effective in
the beginning.
My Score: 174297
Top Score: 100000
vi) The Fury
I've heard every way to defeat this guy under the Sun, but one stood
out from all the rest…mainly because it worked for me. Not badmouthing
any other methods, just saying this was the best one for me. Feel free
to tell me yours, I'm sure there are people who will benefit from it.
Survival Knife (seriously, that's all)
As soon as the battle starts, equip your knife. Wait in your tunnel for
ten seconds, and then exit it. The Fury should be right near you. If
not, don't worry, he'll be in the fourth tunnel. Run up behind him, and
do a 5-hit knife combo on him. This will reduce his health by a third.
Once he gets up, you WILL get blasted, but ignore it unless you're
injured. Get up, and knife him up some more. That's two thirds gone. Do
this once more, and he should have to take one more slash before he
dies. Can be done in under one minute and thirty seconds if done
correctly, achieving the top score easily.
My Score: 95021
Top Score: 80000
vii) Colonel Volgin
I may not be the best person to write for this, because I had major
problems with him. However, I will since I managed it in a rather more
odd way than most.
Stun Grenades – 5/5
Handkerchief – 36/36
Okay, start off by throwing all your stun grenades one second apart.
He'll be almost down to half now. When there is no electricity around
him, grab him in CQC, and chuck him to the floor, the shoot him with
the MK22. Alternatively, which I find better, is to wave the
handkerchief in his face when he gets near you. This should have the
first round over in a matter of seconds. Second round, immediately
equip the Mask, and go up to him. Run behind him, and shoot him with
your MK22 as many times as you can. Then use CQC whenever possible, or
wake the handkerchief in his face. Make sure when you see him raise
both his arms, drop to the floor, or be prepared to die. Also, if at
any point you're caught in the combo where he throws you in the air,
restart; you don't need that kind of time penalty, or that damage.
This method was sent to me by SITHDUKE, thank you for it:
I start by kneeling. This will reduce the flash bang effect of stun
grenades. Equip Stun Grenades and throw all of them (5) right in front
of you. This should nearly completely deplete Volgin' Stamina by half.
Upon detonation of the 5th Stun Grenade equip the Raiden Mask and
Volgin will look at you puzzled. Quickly whip out your MK22 and pop one
in his Skull. This should take his Stamina below the 50% marker. This
entire process can be done in about 18 seconds.
Once the second round begins throw your Glowcap Mushroom near Volgin.
This will absorb all of his attacks for a short time. This buys you
enough time to CQC grab (Press and hold O) him then throw him too
(Press a Direction and O) the floor. Perform a roll into him and wait
for him to stand back up. Quickly use the Cig-Spray to knock him out of
his immunity and perform another CQC Throwdown + Roll. Keep doing this
till Volgin is defeated.
Contribution by Ginger_Guy
For Volgin I kept slamming him, then on normal you have time to get two
mk-22 in him and on special you only have time to hit him once while he
is on the floor.
Also another useful tip is to only take out your gun after you slam
him, then after you shoot him put it away because the electric bolt
attack takes most, if not all your ammo from that gun.
Also after you've taken a small amount of health away he sits there and
the screen acquires a blue haze, this wastes 10secs or so, so I threw a
stun grenade at him.
also when ever you get the chance throw a stun grenade at him, a good
time is when he recharges off the panel on the wall.
I also found some useful tricks to beating some of his attacks. When he
places bullets in the palm of his hand and starts firing them at you,
you can't slam him until he starts firing. So what I did was to stand
in front of him and wait for the first bullet, then slam him. For some
reason the first few bullets will never hit you.
Also if you're having problems avoiding the electrical bolt move as
this move becomes stronger as the fight goes on, with Volgin shooting
out 3 at a time near the end. A way I found to stop this is when you
see him charge it up, toss some food (you get a few bits on the dual
mode) in front of him, all his electricity will ground onto the food,
allowing you time to walk to his side and slam him.
This is from Ben Laurence, worked very well for me
First, equip the shotgun (M37 I believe), and just before Volgin fires
his electric bolt, unequip it (Tap R2) Now while he is doing this
attack, run behind him (It should be easy as he cannot direct the bolt
at you properly as you have no weapon) and equip the shotgun (Tap R2)
and shoot him in the back (You don't need to use first person view) Now
he should finish his attack. You can re-equip and unequip (i.e.,
repeating the above strategy) or you can just keep running behind him,
or trying to and he will try and attack you, this means you can equip
the shotgun, shoot him and then unequip, repeat this. It should take
about three shots and the cutscene will begin (but it wont as it is
duel mode) Immediately after you begin again, go prone to dodge his
next attack, then get up, and repeat the above strategy. This got me
three top scores in a row (109000, 111000, and 117000/120000) If done
correctly, this is literally fool-proof, and it really is.
My Score: 116438
Top Score: 100000
viii) Bike vs. Pursuers
This, like The End, is a fight of choice. In Normal, you are lucky to
be graced with infinite ammo, so you need not worry about running out.
The pain is choosing a weapon that can eliminate your enemies easily,
quickly, and a lot of them. It should also have a decent reload time,
otherwise it can be annoying too.
RPG-7 - infinite
M63 - infinite
Scorpion - infinite
Stun Grenades - infinite
(these are only recommendations)
As I said, this is a fight of choice. You have to find what suits you;
no one can tell you how to do it. This is just how I or others have
done it in the past. To begin with, take the M63 out of your backpack,
and put anything you don't want back in. Leave out the RPG-7 however.
You will come first to four guards, three on the floor, and one in a
tower. Use the RPG with tactical reload (pressing R2 twice quickly) to
dispatch them. Equip the M63. In the next area, gun down the two men,
and continue this way until you reach the bridge (by now, your enemy
count should be 9 or 10). Fire an RPG into the centre of the bridge,
which should take out all 5 guards. If not, dispose of the remainders
however you please. Now sit around and wait until you reach the next
area. In the next area, immediately equip the RPG, and shoot the three
guars quickly before they're out of sight. From here, equip the M63
again, and fire at anybody you see. When the bike stops for the first
time, the RPG can be better than the M63 at hitting all the guards
quickly (make sure you get the roof guy). Keep shooting everybody as
you drive, until you come to another stop. You should see a group of
men storm round the corner. RPG can hit all of them at once. Last leg,
M63 everyone you see. Your final count should be in the region of 29-
34, and your time around 2.30.
Some other people say that the Scorpion is a better weapon to use;
because of its laser pointer and that it is just generally a good
weapon. There are rumours that Stun Grenades can be used, I don't know
if anyone has managed to get top score with them, but it seems really
hard to me. But you are free to choose any weapon you are best with.
My Score: 43184
Top Score: 43000
ix) Shagohod
If you can't do this one, I think you need to take your game back right
now. But it can be tough for first timers, so here it is. Worth noting,
the numbers written after this are for the second portion of the fight,
for the first, you have unlimited ammo.
Mosin Nagant – 16/16
First half of the battle is pretty simple. Fire at the treads until EVA
drives you round the back of the Shagohod. Then fire an RPG into the
back of the cockpit. Some strange people can fire two RPG's accurately
per second. No problem with that, more power to ya, just most people
can't do that. I'm not sure if it's possible to land more than one hit
anyway. When you've finished it off, you'll be fighting the 'Volgohod'.
Fire an RPG at one tread, then nail Volgin in the head with the Mosin
Nagant. That will take away a third of his stamina. When he starts
firing, run towards him to dodge the bullets and run underneath the
Shagohod. Fire another RPG at a tread, and then Mosin Volgin's head.
Repeat once more and you'll have a quick, no kill victory.
My Score: 112738
Top Score: 100000
x) The Boss
This is supposed to be the ultimate fight, and be very hard for you to
do. Everyone I've spoken to finds otherwise, but hey. This is a very
simple fight as long as you NEVER get CQC'd.
Handkerchief – 36/36
Cigar Gas-Spray – 15/15
Start off by going into the backpack and removing the Mosin Nagant,
SVD, XM16E1, M37, Grenade and M1911A1. Put in the Cigar Gas-Spray. Exit
the viewer now, and charge straight at The Boss. When Snake grunts,
press and hold circle, he will counter her CQC and she will be
defenceless for a moment. In this moment, run right up to her and wave
the handkerchief in her face. Now run around her. Continue to do this
and she'll be down in no time. If you want to speed it up a little and
don't mind taking injuries, you can run up to her while she's firing at
you and punch-punch-kick her, then MK22 her while on the floor. Using a
combination of these techniques, it is possible to finish this battle
in less than 3 minutes. Just make sure you give chase when you see her
run off, it'll make it even quicker. Also, when she's on the floor, to
conserve ammo, roll over her to knock off a good chunk of stamina. The
only trouble with this is if the camera slightly switches you end up
rolling in the complete opposite direction to the one you want to be
rolling in.
And now, something from the Gmaster himself, the 'classic' The Boss
method. Only comment I have on this is ammo conservation
I read the FAQ, and I that the boss idea doesn't work as well as CQCing
her when dazed, then MK22ing twice to the head, running in a circle
pattern around her, then changing direction when she stops firing, then
charging at her.
Also, I would recommend for you to put that you can use the Thermal
goggles, since they help finding her, if she gets away.
A note on what I said about ammo, if she demolishes one of your
completely empty guns, she will fling new ammo everywhere. Handy. (This
tip is from SketchySpider by the way)
My Score: 190150
Top Score: 180000
4. Duel Mode Special
Special mode is a little different to Normal, whereby you have very
limited supplies, not great time, and generally a higher difficulty to
achieve your score in. This is for absolute professionals, and takes a
damn lot of practise to perfect. Good luck!
i) Ocelot Unit
In Normal, there were 8. In Special…there are TEN! Even worse than
that, you have very limited ammunition. This was very frustrating for
me, but with the help of the message boards, I did it.
Grenade – 1/5
Okay, this will take a few goes but it is doable. Start by equipping
the MK22s suppressor, and stand on tiptoes to shoot the guy outside in
the head. Get onto the bed and shoot the guy to the side moving your
way in the head. Get under the bed and equip the Grenade. When the four
men storm the room, chuck the grenade out the door into the middle of
them. This should take out all four. Four to go. Get into the
crawlspace in the floor and head south until you reach the opening.
MK22 the guy in the head. Crawl out of there and head to the barrels
next to you. Count to three slowly, and then crawl around them. Stand
up and run along to the ladder. Wait for ten seconds, and then climb.
If ten seconds is too short, then restart and go for 12-15. MK22 the
sniper in the head. Roll off the roof over to the metal steps and go
up. Collect the AK-47, MK22 the guy in front of you in the head. Go
back down the steps, to a little further back than the tree, and MK22
the last guy in the head. No Alerts and a time of around 2.40-3.00
should be perfect to get the record.
I got this post a not too long ago, and tried it out. Unfortunately, I
don't have my game at the moment or I would post a new, much improved
score thanks to this. Here it is, from Imbored666
I found your method for defeating the Ocelot Unit (Special) quite
troublesome. My way I think is much simpler:
CQC method: first, run down to the southern part of the room and stand
to the left of the door, and face down. When the ocelot soldiers break
the door open, they'll fire a few shots, den throw a stun grenade which
wont effect u for long because u should be facing down. Next 1 will
fire a few more shots, and then actually run into the room. At this
point, he'll notice you. Run to him and CQC him down before he gets a
shot off, then run to the left again. A second ocelot soldier with a
shotgun should come in, CQC him too before he can get a shot off. Den
run out of the room to the room south of it, and take out the other 2
soldiers with CQC. They'll have thrown a grenade, so make sure u
knock'em quick, then run back up to the room u started in. run up on
the bed, then dive through the window. 2 more guards are waiting for u
here, CQC them. Then climb the ladder on the building and take out the
one on top of the building. Drop down from the southern side of the
room, and run out of the building area, heading southeast. There should
be another soldier here, so take him out. Only 2 soldiers left, just
run west through the green part of the land, u'll meet 1 soldier along
the way, and the last one will be on the left side of the building.
This method may take a few tries if u keep gettin shot down, but I find
its much easier to pull this off than careful shooting and timing with
the mk22. I got 89000 points this way, and finished in 1:47 mins.
A quick tip from Gmaster13, worth noting
The first guard you take out, (the one outside the window) changes how
the 4 who come in. If it's not a headshot, and he's awake when the
guards get to the door, they'll shoot down the door, and throw a stun
grenade in. If this happens, you'll have to ready your stun, and lob it
as soon as the door opens. Then lob another grenade at the guards
checking the body.
The rest is the same, but the sniper might change position. If he's
looking over the rest of the warehouse, stalk to the opposite and tranq
him by peeping out. The rest is the same.
To add to this, it is if a noise is made that determines if they burst
in or not. If a noise is made, they will open the door slowly after 20
seconds. If no noise is made, they will shoot it down accompanied by a
stun grenade. So, theoretically, you CAN get both guys outside the
window in the head without noise, and still have them busting in with
flash bang.
My Score: 82403
Top Score: 80000
ii) Ocelot
This battle bears some similarities to its Normal counterpart, but with
the addition of several weapons, each fairly important to your success
in this battle.
To say this battle can be somewhat hit and miss would be an
understatement. You only have to do one thing, and that is fire when
you see him. Start off with your XM16E1, and fire a couple of rounds
each time you see him, one will usually hit its mark. When he reloads,
again, skip the scene and shoot him. He will hide behind a tree until
he's finished. While he's there, fire at the large rock with the SAA,
and you'll hit him every time, so long as you don't fire too quickly.
The quick-draw game also works. You can also use the right analogue
stick to play with the SAA. He will see you and become distracted
twirling his revolvers, giving you a free shot. If it gets desperate,
use the M63 or RPG-7 to hit him. He will go down fairly easily.
Another contribution from Imbored666, haven't tried it yet, but I'd
like to bet it works pretty well
I managed to kill ocelot within a few tries using the Mosin Nagant. You
have to be careful though, cos u have little ammo, so u have to get
most shots on the head. rather than shooting when he runs out, shoot
when he's taking aim at u, u have a few seconds before he shoots. If
you feel u don't have enough time to aim on the head, shoot him
anywhere, and he'll stand there talking to his soldiers for a while,
giving u an easy shot on his head. Da no kill bonus helps a lot when
gettin those points...
And now, from the near legendary man of the boards Grey_Fox4, we have
this quick little titbit which is definitely worth noting
This is a really good tactic to beat ocelot
Yeah in the first 3 seconds before he runs behind the tree SAA him
(Hold l2 before battle begins) if you miss restart his unit starts
shooting he will stand still shoot him in the head with the SVD and
then he will shoot you let him svd him in the face if he shots you
again just svd his face when he runs away Just try to shoot him get him
when he reloads the start is the most important part of the battle.
My Score: 88906
Top Score: 85000
iii) The Pain
There is one difference between this and Normal, and that is you don't
have the AK-47 anymore. However, since it's best to go for a stamina
kill, that doesn't matter too much. Still, his difficulty has been
raised like everybody else, so don't expect it to be as easy as before.
Grenade – 5/5
Stun Grenade – 5/5
WP Grenade – 5/5
Okay, start as before, fire until his stamina gets down by one bar when
he calls his bee armour. Swim over to the little MK22-ammo island, and
throw a grenade over to disperse the bees. Begin firing until his
stamina gets to half way, and into round two. For this repeat what you
were doing in Normal too. His attacks however make the battle a lot
harder. The words 'Bombs away!' hail a barrage of grenades coming
towards you, so do as you would with grenades. Get in the water, then
get straight out, and you should be fine. More commonly than before he
will get his bees to form around you so that you cannot move. The best
you can do is move the right analogue stick and mash circle and pray
they get off before he yells 'Grenade!'. When a lot of bees get near
you, dive in to prevent being smothered. Above all, if the clock goes a
second over 4.00, restart. You need everything you've got to get the
best score.
My Score: 69432
Top Score: 50000
iv) The Fear
You are super impaired for this fight. Minimal ammo combined with the
lack of ability to see your opponent makes for a truly terrifyingly
difficult experience. Do not fret though, this can actually be just as
easy as on Normal, just a little harder.
Look straight up and fire two shots into him. Run to the left and kick
the mushrooms on the tree base for later. If you can find The Fear,
follow his movements, shooting when he lands. If you can't, run
immediately to the right, all the way. Behind a tripwire is a box of
MK22 ammo. Collect it and return to your spot, taking shots every time
you see him. Once his stamina is down to half, he'll go pick up the
mushrooms you kindly left him. MK22 him while he is scuttling around,
ad he'll be done in no time at all.
My Score: 84742
Top Score: 65000
v) The End
Right. Imagine Hell for a moment. Multiply that by the biggest number
you can think of. That answer doesn't even come close to how hellish
this can be. But thanks to a crack team of specialists, I can supply
you with the method to do it in under 2.00. You do not have any
technical aid on your side however; no D.Mic or Thermal Goggles, so you
must have good eyesight.
Mosin Nagant – 16/16 (you only need one round)
Okay, go To Sokrovenno North via the north-western most exit. Stick to
the wall near you and get to the raised area. There are two sniping
points up here. If he is not here, go to the west. North of your new
position, there is a large area of grass. Look VERY carefully, you
should find his spotty head. One shot, perfectly lined up is enough to
give you it. Miss and you must restart. Exceed 3 minutes and you should
restart. Don't find him at any of these points, you should restart. Be
prepared for a long one.
This method was sent in by SITHDUKE. I followed the same method, but a
little more carefully, so he did it faster than me.
From your starting location immediately head to the top right.
From here take a quick scan of the areas with the D-Mic. If you don't
hear The End by the sound of Breathing, Snoring or him actually saying
"This...is the end" then proceed to Sokrovenno West which should be the
Top Left of Sokrovenno North.
From here you'll be surrounded by tall cliffs. Proceed till you're
almost beyond them then STOP! Get on your face (Prone) and get out your
Mosin Nagant. Take a look at the far right of you. The End should be
sitting in some Long grass. If you know the area well I'll tell you
it's the hills with the patches of light leading to the mountains. If
he's in the long grass quickly snipe him in the head and that's Game,
Set and Match!
Using this method I beat the end in less than two minutes and gained
well over 2X the points needed. The First place record was 120,000. I
earned 250,000. If you find the end isn't in this location you can
either try your luck or restart.
My Score: 248194
Top Score: 120000
vi) The Fury
This is no harder than it was in Normal. In fact, I found it even
easier. I am actually just going to copy what I said for Normal,
because it is identical.
Survival Knife (seriously, that's all)
As soon as the battle starts, equip your knife. Wait in your tunnel for
ten seconds, and then exit it. The Fury should be right near you. If
not, don't worry, he'll be in the fourth tunnel. Run up behind him, and
do a 5-hit knife combo on him. This will reduce his health by a third.
Once he gets up, you WILL get blasted, but ignore it unless you're
injured. Get up, and knife him up some more. That's two thirds gone. Do
this once more, and he should have to take one more slash before he
dies. Can be done in under one minute and thirty seconds if done
correctly, achieving the top score easily.
My Score: 74910
Top Score: 50000
vii) Colonel Volgin
The main difference between Special and Normal is that he is much more
aggressive on Special. Also, your ammo is more limited too, so you need
to be pretty good with CQC.
Stun Grenade – 5/5
Handkerchief – 12/36
Cigar Gas-Spray – 5/15
Begin as you did in Normal, but throwing all of your stun grenades at
him. Then wave the handkerchief in his face a couple of times, and he's
down for round one. In round two, equip the Mask, go behind him, and
shoot him as many times as you can. Once you can grab him in CQC, throw
him to the floor and roll over him. At every chance you get, dodge his
attacks and wave the handkerchief in his face or blow the Cig-Spray at
him. CQC rolling combined with this takes him down very easily. As
before, if you're caught in any of his large attacks, best to restart.
Also, in the second half, you can use the Russian Glowcap Mushroom to
absorb some of his attacks (second half because they are far more
My Score: 72048
Top Score: 60000
viii) Bike vs. Pursuers
This is a royal pain, simply because they have given your ammunition a
limit. This means ammo must be used sparingly, and that you can't rely
on the same weapons all the time. More variety though, so pick you
weapon of choice and begin.
Scorpion – 61/61
Again, I say it, this is pretty much a free-for-all battle. This is how
I would recommend you approach it. Begin by putting the SVD, M37 and
MK22 back in your backpack. Put in your weapon window the Scorpion and
the M63. First four guards, use the XM16E1 to go for headshots each.
Equip the M63 and fire at everybody you see. When you get to the bridge
(should have 10-11 because there are more in Special), fire the RPG-7
at the middle, taking them all out. Wait until the Shagohod dance is
finished and you move into the next area. Equip the RPG-7 and quickly
fire a shot towards the men at the barrier; if you miss, you should
probably restart. Continue with the M63, taking out everyone in sight,
including when you stop for the first time. The second time, use the
RPG-7 to take everybody out as they come around the corner. Finally,
continue firing at everyone that presents themselves where appropriate
aiming for explosive barrels to make your life easier. You should
finish with around 31-36 people downed and in about 3 or so minutes.
Of course, you can use whatever weapon you like for this. Many do
recommend the Scorpion; it's just a matter of what you are comfortable
My Score: 70591
Top Score: 65000
ix) Shagohod
This fight is fairly simple, as it was earlier, with the exception that
your ammo is even more limited in the second half. I don't know if he
is more aggressive or not, seems about the same to me. By now, you
should maybe be more skilled, and be able to land more shots much
quicker, so use that to your advantage. The numbers shown below are for
the second half, in the first they are all infinite.
Mosin Nagant – 6/16
Round one is simple as could be. Fire at the treads, when you get near
the back, fire at the sparking cockpit. If you have fired at the
cockpit, immediately fire at a tread, then when it starts moving, the
other one. That way, you're already near the back, and you can get
another shot off faster. Once you enter round two, fire an RPG at a
tread, so it stops moving. Then whip out your Mosin Nagant and hit
Volgin in the head. As with Normal, this saps a third of his stamina.
He will likely charge at you after this. Let him run over you, but run
to the side, near a tread so it does no damage. Turn around and shoot a
tread with the RPG-7 then put another Mosin Nagant round in his head.
He won't adopt this tactic next; he will usually turn around and start
firing. To avoid this, run towards him and go underneath. Fire at a
tread, the Mosin Nagant headshot. The battle is won.
My Score: 101076
Top Score: 90000
x) The Boss
Okay, if you've been playing in order then this will be your last one,
so make it a good one. As with all he other Special fights, your ammo
is limited, and the difficulty is slightly raised. But by now, you
should be laughing at this fight, and not reading here anymore to do it
by yourself. But for those who need help, here it is.
Cigar Gas-Spray – 5/15
Handkerchief – 12/36
To begin with, charge The Boss when she charges you. Remember, when
Snake grunts, press and hold circle to counter her attack. Equip the
handkerchief and go right up to her to wave it at her. Run away as she
recovers, then follow her wherever she goes to make the time a bit
better. You will not have enough ammo in your handkerchief to use it as
your sole weapon. Instead, try to alternate between it, PPK combo then
MK22 and PPK combo then roll over her (good, but can be difficult if
camera switches). With a combination of these techniques, you can
easily beat it and get the top score. Also, you can PPK her while she's
firing at you; dangerous as it is, it pays off, and makes your time
even better.

Blackhawks in angry series against Red Wingsby Brian Hedger / Chicago Blackhawks
CHICAGO -- Joel Quenneville wanted his Chicago Blackhawks to get angrier as the Stanley Cup Playoffs progressed, and now he's got his wish.
The Blackhawks are pretty steamed three games into a heated Western Conference Semifinal series against the rival Detroit Red Wings, but they're also trailing 2-1 after losing 3-1 in Game 3 on Monday.
It was filled with hard hits, post-whistle skirmishes and lots of chirping, particularly between Chicago's Bryan Bickell and Andrew Shaw and Detroit's Daniel Cleary and Brendan Smith. Afterward, some wondered if the Red Wings successfully are throwing off the Blackhawks by getting under their skin.
The Blackhawks, however, said it's just the opposite.
"I don't think it was frustration," veteran Chicago defenseman Michal Rozsival said. "I think it was just more showing that, you know, we are not going to [just] take everything and we are going to be battling. It wasn't frustration. It was just more showing that we are there and we are going to be there and we are going to be fighting."
The sequence he was asked about happened near the end of the game, when Bickell cross-checked Cleary hard in the back three times during a scramble in front of the net. Cleary took exception, more words were exchanged, and Bickell headed to the penalty box for the remaining few seconds of the game.
Afterward, in an on NBC Sports Network, Cleary was asked about the confrontation with Bickell. His face nearly was as red as his jersey, but he calmly explained it's all part of playoff hockey, also saying he and Bickell probably "wouldn't be exchanging Christmas cards anytime soon."
Cleary got worked up earlier in the game when Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook gave him a shove while he charged to the net, sending him face-first into the crossbar. Duncan Keith then pushed over the net toward the fallen Cleary and shoved it at him.
This started as a decades-old rivalry series based on mutual respect and skill, but quickly has become one about grit, toughness and inflicting pain. It's similar to other Stanley Cup Playoff series that have transpired recently, but it also merits the question: Is an angry bunch of Blackhawks good or bad for their chances to win?
Quenneville sounded pretty sure of the answer when meeting with the media Tuesday at United Center.
"Absolutely," he said, when asked if playing angry now would be good for his team. "I thought we got the juices at the level that are going to be necessary going forward. I thought going into the game, they got our attention in Game 2 and [Game 3] was the way we had to compete. Some bounces didn't go our way, but certainly that's what's going to be necessary going forward."
Rozsival agreed.
"I think everybody is kind of, not happy, with the way we've played and I think it's a good thing," he said. "It can give us a boost of energy. Playing with a little bit of anger going forward, you know, is not a bad thing. I think it's going to help us [going] into Game 4. We are only down 2-1 … it's not the end of the world. We are playing [a] good opponent, [but] it's not over yet."
The extracurricular stuff probably has just started, in fact. The trick, however, is not getting penalized for taking the kind of stand Rozsival mentioned.
Neither team scored on the combined nine power plays in Game 3 at Joe Louis Arena, but giving either team an opportunity on the man-advantage -- with as much offensive firepower as the sides have -- could be a costly mistake.
"Just playing like that doesn't give us the green light to take unnecessary or undisciplined penalties," Quenneville said. "There's always a discipline that goes behind everything we talk about …"
In Game 3, however, the Blackhawks did take a couple of undisciplined penalties while reacting to things the Red Wings did. Despite being 29-for-29 on the penalty kill in the playoffs, those kinds of infractions are exactly what the Blackhawks have to avoid in Game 4 Thursday in Detroit (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS2).
"It's always a fine line not to get penalties and play on the edge," Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. "We've had really good penalty killing so far in these playoffs, but we know they have a lot of skilled players who can make a difference in a game if we give them too many power plays. It's a fine line there, but you've got to play tough."

Blighty to get mobe-download barcode rail tickets
Where's my hardcopy for expenses, though?
Barcode ticketing specialists Masabi have signed a deal with TheTrainLine.com for a national rollout of its mobile ticketing service, reducing tickets to downloaded images.
Punters can still pick up physical tickets if they want, though that would rather defeat the object of the service which is to sell tickets though the mobile phone without recourse to expensive ticket machines or, equally expensive, humans.
Masabi has been running trials for a while, and managed to get a standard for on-screen bar codes agreed by all the country's rail networks in December 2008. Since then the company has been casting around for a partner to make it all happen.
Masabi's solution uses an on-phone application - native where possible, Java otherwise, and delivered by WAP Push - to walk the user through purchasing a ticket in a process not very different from using an in-station ticket machine, only without the printer and (one hopes) without the queue. The user pays by credit card and the ticket appears on the screen as a bar code which can then be scanned by the inspector.
This solves exactly the kind of problem to which Near Field Communications is addressed, though without requiring new handsets or involving new partners. Once customers have done it once they'll likely do it again and train companies will be delighted at the cost saving achieved by making customers supply the ticketing machines, though we're still working out how one gets an accounts-department-acceptable receipt printed out. ®
