Transformers follows the Autobots (good guys) trying to beat the
Decepticons (bad guys) to finding the Mini-Cons. Mini-Cons are midget
robots that give the holder special abilities, so you can see what the
Autobots are after them first.
Choosing from one of three Autobots, players are let loose in some of the biggest levels you'll see this side of GTA. The very first level, set in the Amazon rainforest has quite literally hundreds of trees to stroll through, drive through and even fly through - come to that later. After climbing to the tallest point of the level, the summit of a Mayan temple, you can see for miles ahead of you, and even zoom in on tiny specks of enemies that you wouldn't see otherwise. All with no slowdown.
Mini-Cons' locations are given away by telltale yellow glows, but this does not make the challenge easy at all. There are as many as 10 to find in each level, and with up to 10 Data-Cons to find too - a way of gaining extras such as videos, music and even 1980's TV spots - you'll have your work cut out.
The extras themselves are great and really add something to the game. There are the aforementioned game cutscenes - with excellent direction and voice acting - game music and the TV spots. The TV spots are safety videos from the 1980's featuring classic Transformers telling you to 'not run away from home' and - in a single breath - 'I bet you know you should've worn a lifejacket - accidents can happen and lifejackets are good protection' that are hilarious to watch, even if the humour is unintentional. Other extras include toy production photos, concept art and mini-comics which came boxed with Transformer toys.
The Mini-Cons are assigned to the 4 shoulder buttons, and there are different types. Some improve your blaster module, others give you a shield, and obtaining the Slipstream Mini-Con even gives your chosen Autobot a pair of glider wings, which makes accessing high-up Mini-Cons easier to reach. Getting hold of novelty Mini-Cons such as the Tractor Beam makes the game a lot more enjoyable; there's loads of laughs to be had throwing enemies off of clifftops and watching them explode hundreds of feet below.
The gameplay of Transformers is refined but a bit inaccessible - on the surface it's standard shoot-em-up but dig down deeper and it's one helluva game. As you move through the levels - from Antarctica to the mid-Atlantic and the final showdown on the robot planet of Cybertron - the enemies get harder, and with that the gameplay gets a lot more frustrating. The Autobots cannot upgrade their health - apart from linking similar Mini-Cons to create backup health - so as the enemies get stronger it gets harder for you, especially when they get bigger guns. Even on a difficultly level which is basically called 'Wimpy Gaming Baby' you'll find yourself throwing the controller against the wall. A lot.
The 'Transform' of Transformers finally comes into effect when you tap Triangle. Pressing this makes your Transformer perform a smooth backflip and as they do, they change into their vehicle mode. Hot Shot - the youngest Autobot, but the fastest - turns into a flash sports car which easily outruns any enemies. Red Alert performs a fancy flip into an emergency SUV - complete with emergency signs on the side. The largest of the lot, and leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime turns his tall and heavy robot body into a massive truck cab, which makes everything explode on contact. Owie.
Bosses in Transformers are also big hulking metal masses. The first boss becomes a common enemy later in the game. One of the biggest bosses require a sniper rifle to just get him into range, and no wonder: he's an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier.
All is learnt through a steep learning curve, but eventually you'll get the hang on your preferred Mini-Cons and which Autobots you think you're best with. Transformers isn't exactly completely forgiving, but once you settle into its style of gameplay, you'll be gliding from hilltops onto enemy transporters and flinging around enemies on the ground below without a scratch.
Once you've got the hang of the game, you'll begin to notice the freedom you have. Will you follow the mission or run off in search of Mini-Cons? Will you run head-on into battle or snipe from a distance? Will you shoot everyone you see, or stop the coming of more enemies by hopping on board an enemy transporter mid-flight and blow it up from the inside out? It's your choice, and with Transformers pretty much anything is possible, within reason.
So, is it a must have or a cult game in waiting? It's close, but Transformers just hits the mark. The gameplay and the learning curve are hard to get used to, but once you get past that you can see the potential of the the game and how much fun it wants you to have. You read that right. Regardless of it's kiddy roots, Transformers is an enjoyable game for all that just wants you to have fun blowing stuff up, flying, driving, and generally kicking (metal) butt. Get it in now - it's cheap off the Internet.

AR is king of HD :) I've said it before....

First defender series -
I found this video series very interesting.
I especially did not know that an AR was a home def. weapon and the .223 rounds do not travel as far as a 9mm JHP.
Coming Soon - First Person Defender - YouTube
I might have to change my paradigm of home defense. A local gun-shop/range has a bunch of S&W M&P 15-22 for sale for $349.
What do you think?
"for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." -- Paul
The M&P15-22 is a 22LR rifle, not 5.56/.223 - Less than ideal for HD, but a blast to shoot and a great rimfire rifle.
Plenty of decent 5.56x45 / .223 AR's in the $700-ish range that would made very good HD weapons though.
The Second Amendment *IS* Homeland Security
--------------------- Μολὼν λαβέ ----------------------
Great series hope they amp it up more.
I like these. They show you what you did wrong and a better/different way to do it.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013

Jasmine Couture- T440 Wedding Dress
Dress is in excellent condition.
Gorgeous couture gown with ivory silk shantung fabric, crystal and pearl organza flower detail, and stunning low button back with Tiffany train.
The base dress is the Jasmine T440- however, when ordered the fabric was upgraded to a higher quality natural silk shantung, which makes the dress light and perfect for a summer wedding. The bottom is made of layered organza flowers with crystals and pearls in the center of each bloom. The dress has a custom notch sweetheart neckline with sewn in cups and a corset. A custom bustle was added. The length of the dress was not altered. Pictures depict the dress with a crinoline skirt (size M/L) worn underneath to add fullness to the bottom. Not wearing the crinoline creates a sleeker look and longer length.
Dress was purchased at the premier bridal boutique- Bridal Beginnings in Pittsburgh, PA: http://www.bridalbeginning.com/
If you are interested, I also have a custom made veil, crinoline skirt, and Designer crystal belt for sale.
*All items can be purchased separately. Please inquire for individual item prices.
*The dress was worn at my 8/6/2011 wedding.

US spent $4.5 to $4.75B on digital and used games in 2009
NPD has revealed that US consumers spent around $4.5 to $4.75 billion on "used games, rentals, subscriptions, digital download games, DLC, and mobile apps" in 2009.
Digital content like map packs and other DLC made up the largest chunk of the figure, and helped contribute to $15.0 to $15.25 billion spent on gaming last year.
The other $10.5 million came from physical copies, however the figures do not include money spent on social gaming titles that make use of microtransactions.
"Our expanded estimate of consumer spending reflects the growing number of options to purchase, acquire and interact with video games ranging from GameFly rentals to iPod Touch game apps," says NPD's Anita Frazier.
"Consumer spending on social network games like those offered by Facebook would push this estimate even higher."
The data was pulled from point-of-sale tracking, consumer research and figures culled by NPD retail and its publisher partners.

Neonatal progeroid syndrome

syndrome characterized by an aged appearance at birth. Other signs and symptoms include intrauterine growth restriction, feeding difficulties, distinctive craniofacial features, hypotonia, developmental delay and mild to severe intellectual disability. In most cases, affected infants pass away before age 7 months, but rare reports exist of survival into the teens or early 20s. Although the exact underlying cause of neonatal progeroid syndrome is unknown, it is likely a genetic condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.[1][2][3]Neonatal progeroid syndrome is a rare genetic

I did a long 10K (~6.4 miles) in Montrose PA on the 4th and had my highest placing ever at 115th place. My best before this was 1074th in the '10 Carlbad marathon. A big improvement except there where 1197 finishers at Carlsbad and 118 in Montrose. The 3 people I beat were all younger, one 29 years younger. I did get to experince what the winner sees as for the last block to the finish line there was no one in front of me. (The 114 finisher was a minute faster than I was.) I did win the race walking division as I was the only walker.
You have to get your victorys where ever you can!
Walk fast,
Congratulations on winning the racewalking, Steve! I have just recently started walking and today's 4.5 miles is the most I have done in one day so far. Keep up the good work!
All the best,

"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"
"I used this card for a Happy New Year card with a black and white photo. Used the Pearl White Shimmer paper and the results were exceptional. Very happy with the final product!"
"I liked having so many New Year's card choices with tinyprints. The Snowflake Serenity card was best for the photo I had. Classic design that showcased the photo."
"Took the photo with an I pad in indirect light. Chose a green background that matched the trees in the photo. Wish I had seen the "modified rectangular envelopes" to save on postage."

We just returned from a two-night stay at the Inn. First of all, my husband and I typically don't stay at B&B's due to a couple of bad experiences. So we were pleasantly surprised at what a wonderful experience we had at the Inn at Fawnskin. The bedding and robes are top quality, the rooms are huge and cozy (ours even had a wood burning fireplace and a balcony overlooking Big Bear Lake), the breakfasts were amazing, from the alomond croissant French Toast to the freshly brewed cappucinos, but what took this place from a 4 star to a 5 star rating was Nancy and Bill, the owers and hosts. They were so gracious and kind. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel at home. They create such a relaxed environment that even if you didn't want to go on one of the many beautiful hikes around the lake, you could still thoroughly enjoy yourself hanging out at the Inn with a good book. So if you are thinking of going, don't hesitate,you won't be disappointed. By the way, the photos don't really do this place justice. As another reviewer remarked, it surpassed our expectations.

Chinatown Biz Group Fed Up With Placard Parkers Hogging Spaces All Day
Imagine if your neighborhood's streets were used as an employee parking lot for a nearby office building, and the people in charge of enforcing the rules turned a blind eye, day in and day out, as they ticketed members of the public but ignored lawbreaking by their colleagues.
Well, there's no need to imagine: That's how parking works in Chinatown, and leaders from the Chinatown Partnership Local Development Corporation are fed up after years of abuse.
The Partnership inventoried the neighborhood's parking supply in August, looking at regulations and conditions for the approximately 3,000 on-street parking spaces within the BID's service area, which is roughly bounded by Broome Street, Broadway, Worth Street, and Allen Street [PDF]. During the peak of summer vacation, the BID found that 24.4 percent of all on-street parking spots in that area were taken up by cars with government placards.
In recent years, the city and state have reduced the total number of placards available, but the streets of Chinatown continue to fill with private cars displaying government placards, sitting by the curb all day like it's an employee parking lot. The Partnership isn't the first to document this longstanding problem. A 2006 study by Transportation Alternatives showed only 12 percent of permits in the southern section of Chinatown were being used legally [PDF]. A survey for an NYPD environmental impact statement in 2006 found more than 1,100 cars illegally using placards near One Police Plaza [PDF].
The problem is most pervasive in the neighborhood's southern end, which is full of courts and government offices. On a midday walk near the Partnership's Chatham Square headquarters, more than half the parking spots were occupied by placard holders. "Chinatown's largest population are government workers," said Wellington Chen, the Partnership's executive director. "We are far and above the single most affected community."

This is an invitation to a 60 player, no vacation tourney. It is 3 days per move, 6 to a group, with only 2 advancing from a group, regardless of tie score.
If you would like a chance to grow as an intermediate player, without being submarined by better players who have a low rating, due to just starting here, or you want a better chance to win a tourney, without having to make it through a murder's row of higher rated players, this tournament is for you. I hope you will join. Good luck.
I see a few people have joined . Thanks. Please tell your friends and foes alike. Good and friendly competition is needed for a good tourney.

THE WAIT was agonizing. The news was sobering.
With his career hanging in the balance, Blair Betts knew the delay was not good.
Betts, 31, claimed on waivers by Montreal last Wednesday, was checked out by team doctors upon his arrival in Toronto for the Canadiens' season opener. He was not permitted to skate. He was only permitted to work out in the gym. He was then sent back to Montreal to wait, while doctors analyzed the results of his physical.

With November coming up fast, it is wise to start thinking about your Thanksgiving holiday travels. November is the start of the busiest travel time of the year and with unpredictable winter weather, it means even more travel delays and unexpected situations that travelers have to deal with. Here are some tips to reduce the stress of holiday travel, that will give you more time to be thankful.
1) Plan early- Generally speaking, unless there are brief special deals that pop up, the earlier you purchase your tickets, the cheaper they will be. If you do want to wait to see if there are any discounts that arise, you should follow your airline of choice on social media (often times special sales will be announced on their pages to their loyal customers before it is available to the public).
2) Use your smart phone- Not only are there applications for tracking your flights and hearing about delays, but airlines such as Delta, Southwest, and American Airlines all have mobile websites where their customers can check in and confirm their seats. Don't forget to charge your devices before you leave your house, there are outlets in the airport, but it could be hard to track down an open one with the amount of people travelling. If you can, make sure to bring a portable charger.
3) Check in early- By checking in as soon as possible, you will not feel pressured to rush, which can add unnecessary stress to your day. Being early also gives you more of a chance at switching to a better seat and you will ensure that you will not get bumped from your flight. When a flight is over sold, airlines usually bump the customers who are the last ones to check in.
4) Pack light- If possible, try to pack only the necessities. If you can avoid checking a back then you will also be cutting out: time spent checking and collecting your bag, paying extra money, and the stress of worrying about being separated from your belongings.
5) Always ask- In the unfortunate event of a storm or natural cause that makes it so you have to re-book your flight, ask if you will be expected to pay for it. Some airlines have been known to issue waivers for some Thanksgiving flights. If the weather does make it so your flight is canceled and you have to leave earlier or later instead, sometimes airlines will offer to re-book your flight free of charge. If it will save you money, then you should definitely ask.

Has anyone found a good place to look for documentation for Gtk-perl?
I thought having a GUI on top of my script would be cool. Oddly enough I seemed to underestimate how much work it takes...
Anyhow I have sort of settled on Gtk-Perl I like they way it flows (more of less).
The problem I am having though is there is no good documentation for it on the developers sourceforge page. So I am left having to Google for an scraps I can find.
I found a decent slideshow that showed the basics and I started to pick it up sorta quick. But then I started to have issues with being unable to figure out how to make certain things work. Like for example my button become MASSIVE when I expand the window. My buttons are tied to a table and I think that has something to do it with it but I can't find out how to really anchor things to the windows. I was thinking VBOX and HBOX objects but once the documentation is difficult to find.
Anyone? Anything? Please.

I'm developing a custom UIViewController for iPhone that emulates a subset of the MPMediaPickerController for files in my application's local documents directory. In particular, I'm attempting to re-create the Songs tab. I've been successful in creating my new controller, except I can't get the song titles to sort like they do in the iPod Library or the MPMediaPickerController. Here's an example of how the song names need to be sorted:
- Awesome Song Title
- Cool Song
- The Darkest Song Ever
- My Song Title
- A Really Cool Song
- Why Me?
- 4 Hours Wasted
As you can see, the sorting excludes the leading articles in the song titles and also places songs that begin with a numeric value at the end of the list. Can anyone suggest an efficient sorting function that takes these tules into account?

I am trying to deploy Access 2007 runtime via group policy and I am having a problem. So, i downloaded the AccessRT.exe and run accessrt.exe /extract to get the msi file. Then when I try to attach the .msi to a software policy to the new gpo I get the following error.
"Add Operation Failed. Unable to extract deployment information from the package. Run validation on the package to ensure that the package is correct."
To the best of my googling ability I find that I need to create a config.xml file. Well, documentation isn't the best there and I still can't get it to work even after creating a config.xml file(below).

It is amusing to see U fan jaust BYU for playing games on Fri night, but when
their conf does it, kinda loses it's humor. Just wait till this winter when the
bball schedules come out and see how many games are on "weeknights" in
"high school gyms". In order to pad the stats, we'll see more PAC
games in small venues...and the PAC will end up losing...Oral Roberts anyone?
Doesn't make much sense to point flaws with BYU's arrangements because soon enought they'll come back to bite you.

To many British audiences, Jonathan Ross is the voice of the weekend. He's the host of the award winning chat show âFriday Night with Jonathan Rossâ and hosts his own radio program, which airs Saturdays on BBC Radio 2. Ross is also a vocal and devout comic book fan. He's produced and presented several documentaries about comics like âIn Search of Steve Ditko,â but he's never actually written his own comic. That's about to change.
âTurfâ is a new creator-owned series by Jonathan Ross with acclaimed artist Tommy Lee Edwards, and it hits stores in 2010. Edwards was a guest at last weekendâs Cherry Capital Con in Traverse City, Michigan, where he announced the project. CBR News was there and spoke with Edwards about the book and what it's like to work with Jonathan Ross.
CBR: Jonathan's love of comics is well documented, so it comes as no surprise that he's working on a comic book of his own. But how did you guys come together and how did âTurfâ come about?
TOMMY LEE EDWARDS: Jonathan's been wanting to do comics his whole life and for one reason or another he felt this was the right time to do them. He had some really great ideas and was wanting to find an artist to collaborate with.
Jonathan had read âMarvel 1985,â the recent series I did with Mark Millar, and he and Mark know each other. So basically Mark recommended that Jonathan and I talk. He thought it would be a good match. Mark put us in touch with each other and Jonathan contacted me. He had a few different ideas. Two were really developed and I had a hard time choosing which one I wanted to do the most. That's how good his concepts were.
Tell us a little bit about those concepts. What's the nature of the world you guys are creating in âTurf?â
It's a Prohibition Era story. We're planning on doing it as a four-issue series of 24 pages each and it's going to be a mix of genres. I'm trying not to give too much away yet because we've just narrowed it down to two possible publishers for the series. Basically, though, it's a crime story set in Prohibition Era New York City. You've got gangsters, obviously, but the series is also a mixture of horror and sci-fi. It's a really fun and cool concept that's even stronger than I thought it would be when we first started tossing ideas back and forth. I'm so thrilled that this is going to be something that Jonathan and I own, because I think it's something that could end up being the best thing that I've ever been able to do.
What can you tell us about the protagonist of âTurf?â
There are actually several main characters. There are so many characters and so much story that unlike a lot of comics I'm having trouble fitting everything into 24 pages. There is so much character development, story, and action that the biggest challenge of the series has become how do we make it all fit?
Basically, we're dealing with a lot of gangsters who are battling over different areas of turf. Then we threw in some very scary horror elements along with some high concept sci-fi stuff and we ended up with something really unique with a lot of unique characters. Some elements of the series we have seen before, but they're done in a new way and most of that has come from Jonathan's love of classic horror and comics.
You mentioned sci-fi and horror, but Jonathan is also a really funny guy, so can we expect some humorous elements in âTurfâ as well?
There is humor but it has its place. When we first started pitching 'Turf' to different publishers you could almost see the story done as a spoof or a gag comic. And knowing Jonathan, because he is so funny and has such a great level of wit, there is that in it, but generally things are played very straight. The whole story is played very straight, but at the same time it doesn't take itself too seriously.
Are you just providing the art for âTurfâ or are you and Jonathan collaborating on the story as well?
All of the writing and dialogue is Jonathan's. He had this concept of the setting and the characters. He would send those ideas to me and I would send back some feedback. And in that back and forth I came up with a certain way I wanted to draw some of the 'species' in the story. That gave Jonathan ideas like, âOh if they're going to be like that maybe we can do this?â So it's a great collaboration and he's genuinely one the nicest people I've ever met. He's generous, friendly, and wants to do a comic because he loves comics so much. And that's why I do comics.
Besides the intriguing concept, what are some of the other appeals of working on a creator-owned book like âTurf?â
On certain books that I do, like say,â1985,â everything is completely written out already and I come in and try to do justice to the script. To be able to create these characters and this setting though is something that we all wish we could do. And it's nice that I'm getting to do this opportunity with somebody as creative and fun as Jonathan. So I'm super excited and I think that's inspiring Jonathan to do the best writing he's ever done and me to do the best art I've ever done.
Speaking of look, tell us about the artistic style youâre employing for âTurf.â
This is going to be all drawn with a brush and ink. It's going to be much more of a traditional style comic. John Workman is lettering and it will be my colors. It will be in the vein of â1985â or the recent issues of âWolverineâ that I did with Daniel Way. Jonathan and I are heavily inspired by Golden and Silver Age Marvel Comics, so it's got a real Ditko and a heavy Kirby influence; not just in the story and the artwork, but also in the way we're laying out pages. There arenât going to be any bleeds in the artwork or overlaid panels. It's going to feel like a comic with a timeless quality. So I want the artwork to reflect that.
Is âTurfâ just a standalone style story? Or if people respond to the project, would you and Jonathan Ross like to revisit the world and the characters some day?
We can definitely revisit this. We have an idea on how to set up a sequel and one of the main characters goes through a transformation and becomes almost an entirely different person. So he basically begins a whole new adventure at the end of the series and I would love to do some stories just about him. Because there are so many great characters you can pick and choose any one to do follow up stories with. It's that dense.
When is âTurfâ #1 tentatively scheduled to be released?
Probably in the spring. I'm wrapping up a âPrince of Persiaâ graphic novel for Disney Press and after that 'Turf' and designing a movie for Warner Bros. are going to be my fulltime jobs. âTurfâ is four issues, which we'll take me about eight months. So we're looking at maybe April.

The Case against Perfection
Michael J. Sandel
Harvard University Press, $18.95, 176 pp.
In his 1987 novel Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe explores the hubris, greed, and recklessness of the 1980s Wall Street boom. One of the central characters, Sherman McCoy, a Wall Street bond trader, styles himself a "master of the universe" because he controls vast amounts of money and is therefore treated deferentially by almost everyone around him. It is a book about the folly of human arrogance. I thought of Bonfire when I read The Case against Perfection, Michael Sandel's marvelous little book about the moral issues raised by genetic engineering and other forms of biotechnology, for Sandel's central thesis concerns the drive to mastery that appears inseparable from our society's enthusiastic embrace of biotechnology. Indeed, a passage at the end of Sandel's book is strongly reminiscent of Wolfe's indictment of unbridled arrogance, and it is a nice summary of Sandel's whole argument. "It is possible to view genetic engineering," Sandel writes,
as the ultimate expression of our resolve to see ourselves astride the world, the masters of our nature. But that vision of freedom is flawed. It threatens to banish our appreciation of life as a gift, and to leave us with nothing to affirm or behold outside our own will.
The book is an elaboration of themes first sounded in an article of the same title published in the Atlantic Monthly...

biggest creative fail i have seen since a very long time.. awareness created for aids: ZERO
cool game of AIDS can not forget e.V.
That's how prevention work in 2011.
Just cool
We need HIV/AIDS education. It's very important!! CDC has granted CSU $1.9M for HIV/AIDS education.
The number of members on the largest HIV dating&support site Positivefish. com (if I spell the site correctly) has reached 550,000.
OMG! Why so many guys and girls on the site are very sexy? Why so many sexy people are infected by HIV? There is no
doubt that we need SEX-ED
It is important that the penis should have been shown. Otherwise video make confusing.

Tim McGraw Could Start Sporting a Gold Grill
NFL Network's Rich Eisen reaches out to Tim on Skype.
NFL analysts love to turn to Tim McGraw for his thoughts—the guy's a huge sports fan, and, oh yeah, he starred in that football movie The Blind Side.
NFL Network's Rich Eisen got Tim on a Skype interview where Rich mentioned Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson's gold grill on his teeth.
"I think it might be a good fashion statement for country music," Tim replied. "Maybe if I get one of those . . ."
More of the interview airs on the NFL Network through Sunday morning.
